PCK Format
Posted 16 August 2009 - 11:29 AM
I tried DaiShiva's PckView, but apparently it's not too fond of Vista, or the other way around. It crashes as soon as I try to open a file.

I'm interested in reading PCK(image) files directly into my editor. However, I've been struggling with the PCK format. There's some info on http://www.ufopaedia...age_Formats#PCK, but it seems it just added to my confusion.

I don't have answers for you but want to say I couldn't make complete sense of one small pck from the information on that wiki page alone, though having it is helpful. I looked at BIGOB_55.PCK, the smallest pck i could find. It has no TAB so i guess that means there's only one image. Some single image pck's do have TAB files though for some reason. I don't understand why there is this at the end of BIGOB_55.pck - FE FF FE FF FE FF FE FF FF , if FF is supposed to mean the end of sprite data.
I'm sort of not surprised, PCK view can't open that file and i think daishiva was working on being able to load some of those bigobs files.
I'm looking now though at BIGOB_04 which is small and easy to compare to hex data. Its of a pistol clip. The 05 seems to mean 5 rows of transparent pixels, then the image starts. The colors line up when i look at the image that i'll include here. but at the end there is FE FA FE FA FE FA FE FA FE 2E FF I guess that has something to do with filling in the rest of the image in some way. I don't know about that. the EOF FF is at least at the end here though.
This is just what PCK view exports. I am pretty sure it doesnt really contain all that empty space. Or does it? It would be odd to me.
Edit :Are you using the pck view from strategy core? I dont have vista but i wonder if PCK-Tool would work in dosbox? I don't even know where i got PCK Tool, which is named PCK_View.exe - 25,936 bytes, no icon

Right I managed to read the first sprite in a PCK file and display it.. problem is I am pretty much guessing width and height so it's a bit deformed. I have no idea how to figure out the dimensions!
Someplace said most images are 32x40. The BIGOB04 seems to be working when i use those dimensions and draw it out in GIMP pixel by pixel using hex data. Not quite done yet. Ill post when i get to the other data at the end of the file.
Edit 5:37am : Ok, that clip pck fits in a 32x40 image. The rest of the pixels are filled by 4 times FA plus 2E or 1046 pixels of transparency. The first byte is the number of rows before the image starts, filled with transparency. After that you will be drawing at X=0, y=(value of first byte) .For this sized image that gives me the correct sized image. I guess the color bytes are some value stored in one of the four? palette files. I didn't try looking up each byte to draw in GIMP to see it colored.
I heard about non 32x40 images. Havent looked for them yet.

I've not tried it, but I think the key here is to understand the RLE format. When that's worked out, the pck files are then loaded as one big bitmap. You use the offset provided in the .tab file to get the starting position of each 32x40 image.
By the way, having had a few misadventures with the bigobs files, I thought I'd mention this:
units\bigobs.pck is a composite file with multiple 32x40 images. Make use of its tab file to get the starting offset for each image.
ufograph\bigobs_??.pck are individual 32x40 images. These are duplicates of those in units\bigobs.pck, but do not have tab files. I'm assuming that ?? would correspond to the indexes for each tab in the previous file.
The reason we have a duplicate is that one set is used in the inventory screen while one is used in the battlescape screen (i.e. the hand slots). A bit of double handling there, but hey.

Primary reason for asking is quite simple. I've read in BIGOBS.PCK and none of the default 3 palettes make it look as it should, so either I'm missing something or some kind of of palette swap is needed.

To bring up another point, does anyone know how exactly TFTD handles its palette data? There are only three entries in palettes.dat (as opposed to 5 in x-com), but I read that TFTD changes the palettes on the fly as is needed. Anyone know how exactly this works?
Primary reason for asking is quite simple. I've read in BIGOBS.PCK and none of the default 3 palettes make it look as it should, so either I'm missing something or some kind of of palette swap is needed.
I'm at the point trying to understand how to use the 64 possible intensities for the rgb colors in the palettes like the ufopaedia.org page says. I guess the hidden TFTD palettes are the four ones bomb bloke wrote about on this page under "TFTD Tactical Palettes" : http://www.ufopaedia...le=PALETTES.DAT
If i understand it right, that #1 of these hidden ones would be used for bigobs.
Edit: Nope, I don't understand whats going on with value (aka what BB calls intensity i think) yet like i thought i did. Bummer. So i can't help like i thought i could yet.
Maybe Seb76 or one of those programming wizards would know. Yes, especially bomb bloke since i found today that he wrote that page.
Tripled Edit : Wait yes. Ill rewrite what i suggested but that you probably already tried. If you take the color from bb's PNG's on the '4 hidden' TFTD palettes, you can then reduce the color's value to "25%" in GIMP or whatever the correct equivalent is using the 64 shade system (i guess it'll be "0" the lowest possible). Then you could search for those rgb bytes in the executable. But if tftd doesn't store them in the normal way and instead uses some method to modify other palettes, then searching for them might not work. I wouldn't have an idea of how to find them. Maybe a code wizard like Seb76 would know though.

The four special Tactical palettes are probably just one (the land palette). See how the game adjusts the blue element of each colour index for their corresponding depths. It probably multiplies the depth by a certain value and adds it to the blue element for each palette entry (in increasing intensity for each colour set). See the black bar between cyan and orange and how everything has blue added to them.
Well for the first of the four he has it labelled "1. Land & Inventory Displays." . I interpret that as meaning for what i think bigobs are used for in inventory. I guess. I like the underwater colors and light levels, weirder than UFO in my opinion.

Jenny, can I ask you how you create those colors exactly? I've been using color.fromARGB() to create my colors, but when I'm loading the aliens from the UFOPaedia, I'm getting some very dark images. I'm wondering if maybe I'm using 32 bit colors incorrectly, I understand it's only 8 bit colors, but to get the correct color, I've only been able to use the 32 bit setting. It might be completely different in openGL, but hopefully you can shed some light on what might be weird about this. Thanks.
The textures were that dark for me as well, so I just amplified them (by about 140% if I recall correctly).
Hope this helps.

Yeah, that helps a lot. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't me doing something stupid. So, I guess I'll just have to do the same. Thanks a lot.

I got a nice Green Ethereal Pck years ago, and modded it with, adding eyes. The eyes flashing when the alien walks:
Still ethereal and walking ethereal.
The problem is:
I dont know why, but in my old pc with Ufo dos version it worked fine. But now, the alien is garbled in teh tactical game.
I edited it years ago and convert the PCK file with the old Win PCK v0.5, but the newest Pck visors (PckView, CnView, XcWiev...) dont works with this file. They dont open the archive.
I want to open the file for further work in it.
¿Any tips?

I don't think pckview is saving them correctly. If the other image converters you're using are causing the same problems, then it may be the same problem.
The best tool I can probably recommend for importing images and making new pck files is included in Bomb Bloke's tool kit:
All of the modified images I've done with it so far have worked properly.

I got the BB tool, made a .bat file and extracted a unmodded file. It works. A nice folder with a bunch of gifs suddenly apeared.
The problem was my bugged ethereal file. The folder created by the tool is empty. My file is corrupted.
I must make the entire process again... for the begining.
I downloaded the fenix green ethereal from this site:
but the images are bmps
The problem is: I dont have the original green ethereal .pak, but a copule of .bmp images.
-Anybody has a healhty green ethereal .pak?
-Must I convert all the 75 bmp files to 75 .gifs?
-Can I change the orange for the green in the .tab file instead?
-Can anybody handdle my green "ethereal with eyes" atached file?

Some colours are fine. The yellow eyes moving are ok, but the red is bugged. Apears as grey. Tried other tones with photoshop but dont work. All red tones are grey in game. View image:
Still ethereal and walking ethereal, with the eyes lighting...nice.
I converted other pcks and seems the red colour is converted as grey.
Any solutions for the red colour?
Edited by Yuri Torban, 22 June 2011 - 01:48 PM.

Partial solution: the inmobile ethereal hasn´t visible eyes. Only at move its flashing.
The file is atached. Replace ethereal.pck and ethereal.tab in UNITS folder. And of course, make a backup of the original files.
Download it and enjoy the nice feature!

I recovered my old ethereal from an ancient CD.
I putted it in UNITS folder and the game recognices it at once.
The green coat ethereal (Thanks Fenix) with with red eyes that light up when walking.
Make a backup of the original files. Download the zip, and put the etehreal.pck and ethereal.tab in the UNITS folder.

The original one is bugged. Without the apropiate animation and a still green patch moving atached.
I remade it, cleaning the rays and restoring the spinning and "under radiate" animation:
Download, unzip and replace the biodron.pck and biodron.tab in the units folder. Make a bakup.
Enjoy it.

Paloma Faith says she's on the look-out for a man - but no-one ever chats her up.
The singer, 27, told the Daily Mirror that she's single for the first time since she was 14.
"No one ever chats me up; I think they all think I'm taken. Either that or no one fancies me," she said.
"I don't get hit on by anyone, ever. That's the truth. No one ever approaches me, famous or otherwise.
"I'm not seeing anyone but am open to offers... I'm on the look-out."
The double Brit nominated Just Be singer told the newspaper: "My mum's always on at me to have children and blames 'that stupid stage thing you do' for me not already having a family.
"In five years' time, I'd like to have a small brood of babies."

After my father died, my mother was lost. As much as she loved her freedom, she was lonely without someone there to talk to. She had always wanted a Chihuahua and so another relative gave her half the money to purchase a Chihuahua puppy.
The puppy was adorable, and quiet. Very quiet. She did not bark for months until it got to the point that my mother encouraged her to bark. I do not know what the problem was that mom worried the dog could not bark. Granted, barking is the only way she is going to scare anything away (although I did read about three Chihuahua puppies cornering a coyote in a garage once), this dog is not going to do it alone. She has yet to catch a bird or a rabbit, both of which she used to chase. Never brought a deer home either, but mostly they turn and walk away from her.
Skeeter attacking her favorite toy; a Taco Belle Dog.
Mother is in a senior's apartment building now and, while she could have the dog with her, the dog has learned to bark. All company must sit before the dog will stop barking. (I guess a bid to bring them more to her eye level, although they would have to lay on the floor, on their stomach for that.) Mom let her dog stay with us, so she did not have complaints about the barking. Now, it is also because mom can no longer move quick enough to let the dog out (out the door, down the hall, down the elevator, through the lobby, and then out.)
Chihuahua puppy is now thirteen years old. She has always had a collapsing larynx, which requires her to stretch out and cough to open it; two slipped discs in her back; and an enlarged heart. It is the enlarged heart that is doing her in. Some nights she has me awake for a half hour as she coughs and coughs in an effort to get that larynx fully open. She is not gasping for air though.
When I took her to the vet a couple of weeks ago, he looked very grave and shook his head and told the nurse to put away the rabies shot. He gave her a steroid shot and new heart medicine and said her heart was failing. She threw up for two days and every day, I debated if today was the day to take her back in. I finally quit giving her the new heart medication and went back to the old (which he told me to do if she didn't tolerate it.) and she was back to herself.
Some days she doesn't eat, she laps up more water than she ever has, the stairs are tough on her old bones, some days she loves her chicken plate, some days it sits and drys up. Like most of us, who are getting up there, she has her good days and bad days. And, every day, we wonder if today is that day.
Then, she will ask to go out and she will sit in the sun and survey her domain and I'm thinking that as long as she can get joy in the world, and is not in pain, today is NOT the day. Let her enjoy another day in the sun.
Yesterday, I was petting her and noticed a lump. I'm not sure but her kidneys may be shutting down and one is enlarged. She is not in pain though, but I know that the day is closer, but not today.

US Open 2019: Johanna Konta and Dan Evans to lead British fight on day three
|US Open 2019
|buy Lyrica australia Venue: Flushing Meadows, New York right here Dates: 26 Aug – 8 Sep
|popular dating apps calgary Coverage: Live text and BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra commentary on selected matches on the BBC Sport website and app. Click here for Live Guide.
Johanna Konta and Dan Evans – Britain's remaining players in the US Open singles – face first-time opponents in the second round on Wednesday.
British number one Konta faces Margarita Gasparyan, although the scheduled 16:00 BST start was delayed by rain with no play on the outside courts before 18:00.
British men's number two Evans plays world number 27 Lucas Pouille.
Defending men's champion http://mizuage.es/13941-dts18459-speed-dating-villalbilla.html Novak Djokovic is up against Juan Ignacio Londero.
Before that five-time champion Roger Federer, who last won the title in 2008, plays Bosnia-Herzegovina's Damir Dzumhur in one of the two early matches inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. The other match sees women's third seed and 2016 finalist Karolina Pliskova take on Georgia's Mariam Bolkvadze.
Serena Williams, a six-time champion and last year's runner-up, is last up on the main court where she faces fellow American Catherine McNally.
After her first-round win over Maria Sharapova, Williams, 37, revealed she had been tweaking her game in the build-up to this tournament.
"I've been working on a lot of new things," she said. "I don't really talk about what I've been working on so much. I definitely have been working on a lot of new stuff to incorporate in my game."
Other highlights on day three include two Louis Armstrong Stadium matches – fifth seed Elina Svitolina against two-time champion Venus Williams, and French Open champion Ashleigh Barty facing world number 73 Lauren Davis.

Attics: Easy Energy Efficiency
authors Steve Easley | June 22, 2011
Good remodeling contractors are always looking for opportunities to help their customers save money and energy. When it comes to making significant improvements to the energy efficiency of a home, the attic turns out to be the low-hanging fruit.
Although heaping insulation into the attic has been the focus of weatherization rebate programs and tax incentives for decades, piling on more insulation only solves half the energy-loss problem for a typical home. To really reduce the amount of heat transfer through an attic, air-sealing must be part of any competent retrofit or weatherization project. A combination of air-sealing and insulation in the attic can reduce air leakage by up to 40 percent and drop the home's space-conditioning costs by 20 to 40 percent.
Heat Loss and Gain
Attics are especially prone to heat loss for three reasons (see Image 1):
- Rising warm air escapes into the attic from conditioned spaces in the home.
- Homes are like giant chimneys: Temperature differences between the attic and the conditioned living space create a stack effect, which draws outside air through gaps into the building envelope and lets it escape through a multitude of air bypasses into the attic.
- Bypasses include ceiling/wall-framing intersections at upper wall plates, electrical and plumbing penetrations, HVAC ductwork, dropped ceilings, can lights and flues. These are rarely air-sealed during construction or when upgrading existing insulation, which leads to heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Bypasses also contribute to reduced thermal performance of wall systems.
Although most people believe a poorly sealed attic leads to heat-loss issues, heat gain also occurs from attic bypasses into living spaces, which increases cooling loads. Image 2 illustrates the heat gain around a can light into the living space. Note the light is not on.
In addition, because of concerns regarding attic ventilation, the perimeters of attics typically are poorly insulated and rarely air-sealed. Sloping roofs compress insulation and create lower depths of insulation at roof-wall intersections. This causes greater heat loss and cold spots at room edges.
Exfiltration of conditioned air occurs when gaps between upper wall plates and ceiling drywall, built-down soffits and dropped ceilings have been ignored. In addition, air flowing from soffit vents over the insulation, known as wind washing, scavenges away heat. Traditional insulation baffles may help keep loose-fill insulation in place during calm weather, but these flimsy protectors offer little protection to wind washing.
Sealing the Attic
There are three different ways to effectively air-seal an attic and reduce the uncontrolled transfer of heat to and from the conditioned living space:
- Spot air-seal the attic and re-insulate the attic space.
- Spray foam the "lid" or entire floor of the attic and reinsulate the attic space.
- Spray foam the entire underside of the roof creating a nonvented attic or install continuous ventilation baffles and create a vented roof deck but airtight attic.
1. Spot Air-sealing
The least expensive option is to use spray-foam insulation to selectively seal the attic. The existing insulation is temporarily relocated and closed-cell spray foam is used to seal all joints, bypasses and penetrations into the attic. Although spot air-sealing is labor-intensive, it is critically important that contractors seal all areas of the attic where air can migrate to and from the conditioned space. This includes carefully ensuring all wall plate to ceiling drywall seams, soffits, dropped ceilings and knee walls are sealed and insulated. Proper soffit baffles also must be installed at the perimeter. In addition, flues or chimneys should be appropriately air-sealed with methods that do not create fire hazards.
While spot air-sealing, contractors must pay attention to can lights. (See Image 3.) Many are not rated for insulation contact, so there must be adequate clearance. Covers can be constructed from metal coil stock, or prefabricated covers can provide a surface to which to air-seal. It's also important to make sure the bulb wattage won't cause the can lights to thermally overload. Some retrofitters routinely replace traditional can lights with airtight can lights, CFLs or LED lamps or can lights.
Finally, after all obvious (and not so obvious) areas are sealed, the entire perimeter of the attic is sealed with a minimum of 3 inches of closed-cell foam. This also is a great time to make sure ducts are sealed and in good shape. When the foam is in place, the insulation should be laid and brought to R-38 or higher.
2. Foam the Lid
The second approach to air-sealing an attic is to foam the lid. Similar to spot air-sealing, this approach requires removing or relocating all existing insulation and then applying 1 to 2 inches of closed-cell spray-foam insulation over 100 percent of the attic floor; a minimum of 3 inches of closed-cell foam should be sprayed at the attic floor perimeter. All attic bypasses, knee walls, existing ductwork, dropped ceilings and soffits passing through the attic space also should be sealed.
After the spray foam has been installed, insulation is replaced to bring the attic lid up to at least R-38 levels.
This approach is more expensive than spot air-sealing because you are spray-foaming the entire attic floor, which requires more material.
3. Create a Nonvented Attic
Many contractors may not realize a nonvented attic is surprisingly effective at preventing heat gain and loss. Although this solution can seem a bit counterintuitive, the process is fairly straightforward. Essentially, you are taking the thermal barrier (insulation) that was at the ceiling plane and moving it to the underside of the roof deck while insulating and sealing the gable ends.
With unvented attics, the air seal is at the roof deck so all the labor-intensive air-sealing of can lights and other attic bypasses is eliminated or minimized. The reason you do not need attic ventilation is because the attic is now conditioned, so moisture does not condense because it does not reach its dew point. Large-volume attics typically are not good candidates for the nonvented approach because the attic space would add considerable space-conditioned volume to the home.
To successfully create a nonvented attic space, all attic intakes and exhaust vents are blocked to prevent spray foam from exiting the attic during application. Existing insulation is usually removed or moved to increase R-value elsewhere in the home. The code-required amount of spray-foam insulation is used to insulate and seal 100 percent of the underside of the attic roof deck. One-half inch of foam is sprayed around roof framing members to reduce thermal bridging. Next, spray foam is applied from the roof sheathing onto the attic floor. Six inches of spray foam should be applied at the attic perimeter to provide air-sealing and insulation at perimeter walls.
R-13 to R-30 spray foam is then applied to the vertical gable ends and knee walls, etc. The final step is to apply an appropriate ignition barrier as required by local and state codes. If the attic has many can lights and dropped ceiling soffits that require a lot of air-sealing at the attic floor line, a nonvented attic approach can be less expensive than the first two options.
Another approach to nonvented attics is to apply continuous baffles from the eve to ridge. Spray insulation to the underside of the baffles like you would apply to the roof sheathing. This approach ventilates the underside of the roof sheathing while air-sealing the attic. Image 4 shows a baffle system that will satisfy code officials concerned about moisture in unvented roof decks.
There is no difference in energy performance whether you install continuous baffles or not; however, continuous baffles are an option if you're not comfortable with an unvented roof deck or codes won't allow it.
Easy Money
Attics represent one of the largest, easiest and most cost-effective opportunities to save energy in American homes. A combination of meticulous air-sealing and insulation can reduce air leakage and space-conditioning costs. On your next project, consult with the homeowner and inspect the attic to determine how to help your clients grab the low-hanging fruit of energy efficiency.

Mini launches high-riding three-door Paceman
If you already find yourself confused by Mini's ever-expanding range of models, look away now - because there's another on the way.
Based on the Countryman crossover, the Paceman is a three-door, high-riding coupe that should go some way to filling perhaps the last possible hole in the line-up.
In standard Mini style, four versions are available - the Cooper and Cooper S, along with their diesel equivalents - and in line with its smaller Coupe sibling, no baseline 'One' or 'First' trim levels will be offered.
Customers can tick the box for the Countryman's All4 four-wheel-drive system if they so choose, and all usual Mini options, like Xenon headlights and integrated navigation, are also available.
On sale from March 2013, the Paceman comes with all the usual Mini styling accoutrements - including a black, white or body-coloured roof which appears to be "floating" thanks to blacked-out pillars - and crucially, still manages to look like part of the original hatch's extended family.
Sitting at the top of the range with a starting price of £18,970, the new Mini spin-off isn't cheap but buyers will be rewarded with trademark go-kart handling, and "lounge concept" seating (just two rear chairs, in other words).
Many will enjoy the comparatively high ride-height, too, which should make the Paceman easy car to get in and out of. Is it an un-needed addition to the range? Perhaps. Will it sell in the thousands? Undoubtedly.

One trait that's a rarity among Windows applications is beauty. However, every once in a while there comes an app that stands out and makes you take notice due to its well thought out design and interface. GlassWire is one such app.
GlassWire is a free network and bandwidth monitor and firewall. There's no shortage of similar apps for Windows; however, almost all of them are a confusing mess of complexity that would scare away anyone who is not tech-savvy. GlassWire on the other hand is brilliant in its simplicity.
There are only four tabs – Graph, Firewall, Usage, and Alerts. The Graph section shows a continuous stream of your network activity. You can see your total internet activity or drill down on type of traffic and application.
The Firewall tab allows you to quickly block an app from using your internet connection. It lists all apps that are connected or have connected to the internet, along with details about the host that it is connecting to. If you see something that you don't like you can instantly bock that app by clicking on the fire icon next to it. GlassWire itself doesn't have a Firewall engine. Instead, it sits on top of the Windows Firewall and provides an interface to control the Windows Firewall.
The Usage tab gives a detailed report on the internet usage pattern of every app. You will be able to see exactly who your app has been communicating with and how much data they are sending out. GlassWire also has an Incognito Mode for the times when you don't want your activity to be recorded. It's also pretty straight forward to delete reports, in case you want to keep some stuff off the books.
Finally, there's a pretty versatile Alerts feature, which provides you a wide range of alert including first network activity, excessive bandwidth usage, host files modification, and suspicious host connection. There's also an option to remotely observe another system's activity.
It's still early days for GlassWire, and there's undoubtedly room for improvement. The Firewall tab simply lists all the processes that are transferring data over the internet. It will be a lot more useful it also integrated with something like ProcessLibrary to show more information about each app/process. There are also a few UI glitches that show up at various resolutions.
The absence of advanced features found in most third-party firewalls might put off power users, but GlassWire does just enough to be useful to a large section of users, who might get annoyed or confused by a full-fledged firewall. GlassWire does a good job at keeping things simple and exposing a lot of useful information without being confusing.

When I was in Australia a few years ago, a fellow librarian and good friend recommended Peter Temple's The Broken Shore to me. I got a copy, read it there, and was blown away by just how good it was. At the time, though, it wasn't published in the U.S. Now, however, it's available here, and now, after a second reading, I can assure any reader on the hunt for a powerful and complex crime novel with a social conscience that this is a book that shouldn't be missed. After being brutally assaulted in a Melbourne stake-out that went horribly wrong, homicide detective Joe Cashin is reassigned, for a period of recuperation, to the sleepy, relatively crime free, ocean-side town of Port Monro, where he spends his time mostly brooding on the past, drinking to deal with the residue of the physical and emotional pain from the attack, and going for long walks with his two large black poodles. But when Charles Burgoyne, a Port Monro entrepreneur, is discovered in his ransacked house on the verge of death, Cashin finds himself back at work. Suspicion falls on two aboriginal boys who live in the nearby ghetto known as The Daunt. But are they guilty? To find the truth, Cashin has to deal with the seemingly endemic racial prejudice against the Aboriginals, corrupt and inept colleagues, and the residue of his own past. The American writers Temple most resembles are Richard Price, Dennis Lehane, and George Pelecanos – all of them look squarely at the depths of depravity that humans are capable of (and write like fallen angels). But the fiction writer whom Temple most reminded me of is his fellow Aussie, Tim Winton, perhaps because they both have a powerful talent for evoking the setting and soul of Australia. Here's Temple describing the small, rundown town of Port Monro, where Joe himself spent part of his childhood: "But the year had turned. May had come, the ice-water rain, the winds that scoured skin, and just the hardcore left-the unemployed, pensioners, people on all kinds of welfare, the halt, the lame. Now he saw the town as you saw a place after fire, all softness gone: the out-crops of rock, the dark gullies, the fireproof rubbish of brown beer bottles and car skeletons." (It's also interesting for American readers to note that several years after this book was published, the Australian government, under the leadership of newly elected prime minister, Kevin Rudd, formally apologized to all the indigenous peoples of the country for past wrongs. Joe Cashin would have approved.)

Full view of Saturn from Cassini-Huygens
Saturn and its rings completely fill the field of view of the narrow-angle camera on the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft.
This natural colour image was taken on 27 March 2004, and is the last single 'eyeful' of Saturn and its rings achievable with this camera on approach to the planet. From then on, Saturn and its rings are larger than the field of view of the narrow angle camera.
Colour variations between atmospheric bands and features in the southern hemisphere of Saturn, as well as subtle colour differences across the planet's middle B ring, are now more distinct than ever.
These variations generally imply different compositions. The nature and causes of any compositional differences in both the atmosphere and the rings are major questions to be investigated by Cassini scientists as the mission progresses.
The bright blue sliver of light in the northern hemisphere is sunlight passing through the 'Cassini Division' in Saturn's rings and being scattered by the cloud-free upper atmosphere.
Two faint dark spots are visible in the southern hemisphere. These spots are close to the latitude where Cassini-Huygens saw two storms merging in mid-March. The fate of the storms visible here is unclear. They are getting close and will eventually merge or squeeze past each other.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a co-operative project of NASA, ESA and ASI, the Italian space agency.

GENEVA, Switzerland, February 8, 2013/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- United Nations agencies, humanitarian partners and the Government of D.R. Congo today launched a US$892.6 million Humanitarian Action Plan (HAP) to provide aid to millions of people affected by food insecurity, conflict and disease in 2013.
"The HAP represents the hope that affected families have in us. In return we promise to do all we can to help them meet their essential humanitarian needs," said the Humanitarian Coordinator, Moustapha Soumaré, at the launch in Kinshasa.
The Plan responds to the growing needs of 3.9 million people across the country including 2.7 million internally displaced, more than half of them in the eastern Kivu provinces. Also the Katanga and Maniema provinces have seen a sharp rise in displacement in the past year.
An estimated 6.4 million people across D.R. Congo are food insecure and more than 2 million children under-five are acutely malnourished.
The funding will help provide essential food aid, shelter, protection and water and sanitation programmes to prevent life-threatening diseases such as cholera and measles. The Plan also aims at helping local authorities improve access to basic social services including education.
"Thanks to donor funding, humanitarian aid remains effective, but it is only part of the solution. Together we need to address the root causes of the multiple crises and find long-term solutions," said Moustapha Soumaré.
In 2012, the HAP provided food aid to more than 3.6 million people and millions of children were treated for measles, cholera, malaria and other diseases. The requirements this year are 13 percent higher than in 2012, when the HAP was 70 percent funded.

Today was one of those amazing lazy days, I've been longing for, for some time now. Normally I get up very early and run around all day long. Don't get me wrong, I love to be busy, to make lists, to cross things of those lists and so on. But every once in a while, I find myself craving a little piece. Well, today was one of those days. Spent most of day shopping, having breakfast/brunch/lunch with my girls, whom I haven't seen in ages at our favorite little cafe and doing research for possible places to visit during my up-coming vacation.
I am really excited because my family is coming to visit me from Canada, and we are going to spend my time off together. I may have mentioned before, I only get to see them once or twice a year, so I take great care planning our activities, as I want everything to be just perfect when they come here. Right now, I have my eye on Santa Barbara, so if anyone knows must-see places there, I appreciate your advice!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Keep on smiling,Love,Annabelle

Cisco® integrated services routers offer a wide variety of WAN connectivity modules to accommodate the range of application needs in customer networks. The Cisco® VDSL2 High-Speed WAN Interface Card (part number HWIC-1VDSL) is designed to support the wide deployment of services such as voice, video, data, high-definition television (HDTV), and interactive gaming. This 1-port high-speed WAN interface card (HWIC) has one very-high-data-rate (VDSL) port and supports VDSL2 over basic telephone service(Plain Old Telephony System).
The VDSL HWIC provides 1-port VDSL2 (Figure 1) connectivity to a WAN. Combined with the Cisco® 1941 Integrated Services Router (ISR G2) or the Cisco® 2900 or 3900 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR G2), this HWIC provides high-speed digital data transmission between customer premises equipment (CPE) and a central office (DSL access multiplexer [DSLAM]). Thus service providers and resellers can offer additional services by supporting features for business-class security, voice , video, and data integration, differentiated classes of service (CoS), and managed network access with Cisco IOS® Software. These value-added features, along with the manageability and reliability of Cisco IOS Software technology, provide the mission-critical networking that businesses require.
The 1-port VDSL2 HWIC is supported on the Cisco 1941, 2901, 2911, 2921, 2951, 3925, and 3945 ISR G2 starting with Cisco IOS Software 15.0.1M1.
VDSL2 is an enhancement to G.993.1 (VDSL), and in February 2006 it was standardized as ITU G.993.2. It permits the transmission of asymmetric and symmetric aggregate data rates of up to 200 Mbps on twisted pairs using a frequency bandwidth of up to 30 MHz. The exact data rates vary, depending on the VDSL profiles and band plans supported, as well as the distance from the DSLAM; DSLAM type; line card and chipset; and firmware, noise profile, quality of copper, etc.
The newest and most advanced standard of DSL broadband wireline communications, VDSL2 is designed to support a wide deployment of triple-play services such as voice, video, data, high definition television (HDTV) and interactive gaming. VDSL2 is purported to enable operators and carriers to gradually, flexibly, and cost-efficiently upgrade existing DSL infrastructures.
VDSL over Basic Telephone Service (HWIC-1VDSL)
Key Features
Supports VDSL2 over basic telephone service with G.993.2 (up to 17 MHz)
● Supports VDSL2 over basic telephone service band plans (997 and 998).
● Supports VDSL2 profiles: 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 12a, 12b, and 17a
● Supports downstream speeds up to 100 Mbps in Ethernet Packet Transport Mode (PTM) mode and up to 50 Mbps upstream
● Supports long-reach VDSL2
● Supports PTM (Ethernet over DSL – 802.3ah)
● Supports IEEE802.1q; VLAN tagged frames will be supported in Ethernet mode of VDSL2
● Supports Double Ended Line Testing (DELT) capabilities
● Supports IP quality of service (QoS)
● Supports Dying Gasp function to send a message to the DSLAM to report power failure
● Has one RJ-11 VDSL2 interface
● Interoperates with third-party DSLAMs (refer to Table 1)
Business-Class DSL with WAN Backup
The Cisco 1900, 2900, and 3900 Series ISR G2 offer multiple WAN slots. These routers are configured with VDLS2 HWICs for primary WAN access, providing redundancy for mission-critical applications (Figure 2). In addition, the WAN flexibility in these platforms enables you to swap out the VDLS2 HWIC with any other WIC or HWIC, depending on your business need.
Banking Application
In this scenario (refer to Figure 3), a bank branch office uses the Cisco 2911 ISR G2 with an ADSL2 + HWIC and ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) WIC to provide primary and backup WAN access. In addition, the 8-port asynchronous/synchronous HWIC (HWIC-8A/S) is used as an interface to ATM machines. This scenario further highlights the versatility of the Cisco 2911 because it enables the banking databases to update any ATM transactions that take place while continuing to provide WAN access and redundancy for mission-critical applications.
Business-Class Security
The Cisco 1900, 2900, and 3900 Series ISR G2 with the VDSL2 HWICs can be optimized for Internet security with the Cisco IOS Firewall supporting stateful-inspection-firewall and intrusion-prevention-system features. With an always-on DSL connection, Internet security is vital to protect corporate resources from malicious network attacks. You can enable these features on the modular routers by purchasing the optional Cisco IOS Software with the Advanced Security or higher feature set.
You can also optimize these platforms for VPNs, which allow secure use of the Internet for communications with the same policies and levels of security and performance as a private network. VPNs provide security through encryption tunneling, and the Cisco routers support hardware-based Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), IP Security (IPSec), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) .You can enable encryption features on the routers by purchasing the optional Cisco IOS Software Advanced Security feature set.
Application-Aware Networking with IP QoS
Using Cisco QoS features, including Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ), Low-Latency Queuing (LLQ), Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), etc., Cisco 1900, 2900, and 3900 Series ISR G2 with VDSL2 HWICs can help service providers and resellers offer services that can differentiate bandwidth based on a specific application or a specific user. For example, administrators can give traffic of an order entry department priority over that of a marketing department.
DSLAM Interoperability
Table 1 lists the DSLAMs supported by the new VDSL2 HWIC at first customer shipment (FCS) of Cisco IOS Software Release 15.0.1M1 with CPE VDSL2 firmware AvC011b. The DSLAMs listed in Table 1 provide interoperability for the VDSL2 standard (G.993.2) .This table will be updated as more DSLAMs are tested and supported.

API for Noisebridge
This is a very simple Python WSGI App that provides a RESTful API for fun things in the Noisebridge space.
In the Noisebridge tradition, it's not stable! It will, however try to break in as noisy a way as possible if things change.
Using the API
The API is currently only available within the space. Once we have authorisation running, this will change.
The API is RESTful, and can be called at the URL:
For instance, to open the door using curl:
<source lang="bash"> curl -X POST -d open=True http://api.noisebridge.net/gate/</source>
GET /hello/[name]
Returns 'hello [name]'
GET /spaceapi/
Returns Noisebridge status, formatted as per http://hackerspaces.nl/spaceapi/
GET /gate/
Gets interesting info about the gate. If you send a "Accept: application/json" header, you'll get a status object, which is currently:
{ ringing: boolean }
Where 'ringing' is true if the gate buzzer is ringing at that moment, or in the last few seconds, as users may push the button for a very short time. The amount of time that this state is cached is totally up to the Gateman daemon that runs to interact with the gate hardware.
If you send a "Accept: text/html" header (as web browsers do), it will return with some useful gate web forms, including one for opening the door with a keycode, and another for getting a new keycode.
POST /gate/
With open=True, opens the door. Returns a 300 error if unsuccessful, and the following additions to the /gate/ stats if successful:
{ open : True message: string }
With key=XXXX, will optionally check the key against the door code list.
Note that this isn't a required field. Currently if you omit the key field, the door will always open. It's intended to optionally allow other apps to offer the same door code authentication that we use for the phone booth entry.
POST /gate/key/[doorcode]
With create=True and an existing, valid doorcode, redirects to a URL of the form /gate/key/[newdoorcode] which gives a valid new doorcode to open the door.
Note: Jake asked me to (temporarily?) disable this, so I have
With preferred=[number] you can suggest a doorcode you'd like to use. It's not guaranteed that the preferred option will be returned.
Requires comment=[contact email address for new number]
Suppose you have a doorcode 8499146, and you'd like to give a friend a new doorcode. She asks if she can have the number '7895473'
<source lang="bash">curl -v -X POST -d create=True -d preferred=7895473 -d comment="I'm Dara, my email is firstname.lastname@example.com" http://localhost:8080/gate/key/8499146</source> would return something like this: > POST /gate/key/8499146 HTTP/1.1 > User-Agent: curl/7.26.0 > Host: localhost:8080 > Accept: */* > Content-Length: 29 > Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded > * upload completely sent off: 29 out of 29 bytes * additional stuff not fine transfer.c:1037: 0 0 * HTTP 1.0, assume close after body < HTTP/1.0 303 See Other < Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2012 05:07:29 GMT < localhost - - [04/Nov/2012 21:07:29] "POST /gate/key/8499146 HTTP/1.1" 303 0 Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.3rc2 < Content-Length: 0 < Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 < Location: http://localhost:8080/gate/key/7895473 < * Closing connection #0
The Location header contains the new doorcode.
POST /audio/
With say=[TEXT] will convert the TEXT into speech, and announce it to the space.
Adding to the API
api.py is a Bottle. It should be pretty self explanatory, even if you don't know much Python.
Just add a function of the form:
<source lang="python">@api_app.route("/myurl/") def myfunc()
do_something_in_the_space() return { 'success' : True, 'OMG IT WORXORRED' }</source>
Deploying your new API
You'll need sudo powers on minotaur. Check out the code using git:
<source lang="bash"> git clone email@example.com:noisebridge/noise-api.git</source> Make your changes, and test them locally using
<source lang="bash"> python api.py --debug</source> When you're ready to deploy, change the Debian changelog in debian/changelog (the git-dch program can help with this), and commit the code to the github repository..
Log onto minotaur, clone the git repository, and make a Debian package. Install it using dpkg -i
<source lang="bash"> git clone git://github.com/noisebridge/noise-api.git
cd noise-api make package sudo dpkg -i ../noisebridge-api_0[whatever the version number is]*.deb

Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) was one of the leading 19th century English radical individualists. He began working as a journalist for the laissez-faire magazine The Economist in the 1850s. Much of the rest of his life was spent working on an all-encompassing theory of human development based upon the ideas of individualism, utilitarian moral theory, social and biological evolution, limited government, and laissez-faire economics.

Two New IT Tools on Adobe Labs
In case you aren't following @Adobe_ITToolkit on Twitter then you probably missed last week's announcement about the two new tools we posted up on Adobe Labs. Well with the luxury of not having 144 character limits we expand on these two tools briefly.
The first one is a command line tool that efficiently removes AAMEE 3.0 from your system. It is called, cleverly enough, Remove AAMEE 3.x Utility. Why would you need to remove AAMEE 3.0? Well due to the lack of backwards compatibility, AAMEE 3.0 can not build packages for CS 5.x media nor create update packages for CS 5.x. And sadly AAMEE 2.1 and AAMEE 3.0 can not exist on the same system. So you can either use another system to reinstall AAMEE 2.1, use a VM, or uninstall AAMEE 3.0 with the help of this tool and then reinstall AAMEE 2.1. Complex? You betcha. Lame? You betcha. Better than a stick in the eye? Depends on your tolerance for sticks in the eye.
The second command line tool is called 64-bit Serialization File Generator allows you to generate serialization files for media with 64-bit driver payload. This tool is for Windows systems and is for apps with a 64-bit driver payload—for example, After Effects CS6. If that isn't applicable to the packages you are building forget you ever read this and go have a glass of lemonade.
These tools join the helpful Exceptions Deployer Application and Remote Update Manager tools up on the Labs site. If you have feedback on these tools or their documentation please use the Community tab on the Labs site to visit the Enterprise IT Tools for Creative Suite discussion forum.

We use a Lion VM (in Parallels or VMWare) for running AAMEE 2.1. It's easier than removing/reinstalling the different AAMEE versions. 🙂 Smooth sailing so far.
