Hardcore Porn isn't for folks who fancy themselves romantics. It's for people who love pussy fucking fornication. It's not about making love. It's all about screwing. To hell with soppy sentiments! We'll take sloppy seconds! Dick jerking, not tear jerking, is the motion of their emotion. Nasty chicks dig a rock-hard dick or two coming at them every which way. Babes know that throbbing, solid rods feel so good up wet snatches and in hungry throats. Guys love to please these horny babes by pumping sweet pussies and plugging tight asses in wild hardcore sex. There's no limit to how much cum they can shoot across expectant faces and into oscillating orifices. These guys deliver load after load until horny ladies are satisfied. These pussy-loving monsters don't stop broad-banging until the job's done right. Lube up your pole or moisten your hole as we recount all this hot action in our Hardcore Porn reviews.

NEW YORK (AP) — Idina Menzel, who won a Tony Award as the green witch in "Wicked," is planning a return to Broadway.
Producers of a new musical by the creators of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Next to Normal" announced Thursday that Menzel will star in their "If/Then," a Broadway-bound musical that first takes a stop this fall in Washington, D.C.
Tom Kitt will supply the music, Brian Yorkey will write the story and lyrics, and Michael Greif will direct. All three did the same jobs for "Next to Normal."
The new show will make its world premiere this November at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., and then go on to open on Broadway in March 2014.
Producers said the musical will center on the character of Elizabeth, who on the verge of turning 40, moves to New York. "Set against the ever-shifting landscape of modern day Manhattan, 'If/Then' is a romantic and original new musical about how choice and chance collide and how we learn to love the fallout," producers said in a statement.
Menzel made her Broadway debut in "Rent" and won a Tony as Elphaba in "Wicked." Her films include "Enchanted," ''Rent" and "Ask the Dust." She also has launched a solo recording career and had a recurring role on TV in "Glee."
"I've experienced the beauty of working on original musicals and was eager to find a project where the material was exciting and new and spoke to my heart. I'm thrilled to have finally found it - an original musical with a complex, flawed, and surprising central character that I cannot wait to bring to life onstage," she said in a statement.
"If/Then" is being produced by David Stone, who produced both "Wicked" and "Next to Normal."

Best Buy Co., the consumer-electronics retailer being evaluated for a takeover by its founder, posted a $10 million fiscal third-quarter net loss as sales at established stores fell more than expected.
The loss in the quarter ended Nov. 3 was 3 cents a share, compared with profit of $156 million, or 42 cents, a year ago, Richfield, Minnesota-based Best Buy said today in a statement. Excluding some items, profit was 3 cents a share. The average of 16 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg was 12 cents.
Chief Executive Officer Hubert Joly is working to improve customer service as customers defect to Amazon.com Inc. and Wal- Mart Stores Inc., all while founder Richard Schulze and private- equity firms evaluate the chain for a possible buyout. Best Buy said last month that third-quarter results would be "significantly" below last year's. Same-store sales fell 4.3 percent, more than the 3.3 percent drop estimated by analysts.
"They said they were going to produce lousy results and they didn't disappoint -- they produced lousy results," Erik Gordon, a business and law professor at the University of Michigan, said today by telephone from Ann Arbor. "It gives the Schulze gang ammo to say Best Buy is lost."
Best Buy fell 6 percent to $12.93 at 8:48 a.m. in New York. The shares tumbled 41 percent this year through yesterday.
Online Sales
Joly said in an interview last week that he plans to boost Best Buy's share of U.S. online sales to 18 percent, the market share of its stores, from 7 percent. Online sales in the quarter climbed more than 10 percent to $431 million, Best Buy said. Total revenue fell 3.5 percent to $10.75 billion. Analysts' estimated $10.74 billion, on average.
Best Buy lacks the connection to consumers enjoyed by Amazon and Apple Inc., Joly, 53, said last week.
"Best Buy has lost a little bit of this," he said in an interview at Bloomberg News headquarters in New York. "We need to reinvent our brand identity."
Schulze, 71, is working with three private-equity firms, including Cerberus Capital Management LP, on a takeover of the electronics chain as his deadline to review the company's finances approaches, people familiar with the matter have said.
Schulze reached an agreement to conduct due diligence on the retailer in August and now is asking for an extra 30 days, said the people, who asked not to be named because the process is private.

{{Back To|name=DTP Main Page|href=Data Tools Platform Project}}
Revision as of 11:20, 31 August 2007
DTP Ganymede is part of the Ganymede simultaneous release around Eclipse 3.4, and hence targets Eclipse 3.4 with associated dependencies as the primary execution environment. The DTP PMC believes, however, that our adopter community will better be served if DTP Ganymede is able to run in Eclipse 3.3.x as well. Therefore, we will attempt to make DTP Ganymede available for both the Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4 platforms. Be advised that if supporting both platform versions becomes too difficult, DTP Ganymede will have to favor Eclipse 3.4, since that is the Ganymede target. The DTP PMC is very interested in feedback from the community about requests for platform version support: please send all messages to the dtp-pmc mailing list.
How Do I Get This Right?
All development for DTP Ganymede should follow the instructions here.
DTP Ganymede Build Environment
All DTP Ganymede posted builds will be created using:
- Eclipse 3.3.x (latest x available)
- GEF 3.3.x (latest x available)
- Sun J2SE 1.4.2
DTP Ganymede Model Generation and Extension
All DTP Ganymede models will be created, updated and extended using EMF 2.3. We strongly advise the adopter community to do the same: generation of models in EMF 2.4 for use in DTP Ganymede is not recommended.
DTP Ganymede & Eclipse 3.4 Build Tests
In order to catch incompatibilities as early as possible, we will also build, on a weekly basis, the DTP Ganymede using Eclipse 3.4 with associated dependencies. These build results will not be posted, but any compile errors will be addressed.
DTP Ganymede Test Environment
The primary test environment for DTP Ganymede will be:
- Eclipse 3.4 (latest milestone or release candidate)
- EMF 2.4 (latest milestone or release candidate)
- GEF 3.4 (latest milestone or release candidate)
- Sun J2SE 1.5.0
- Locale: English (US)
A secondary test environment for DTP Ganymede will be:
- Eclipse 3.3.x (latest x available)
- GEF 3.3.x (latest x available)
- Sun J2SE 1.4.2
- Locale: English (US)
DTP Ganymede Supported Platforms
DTP Ganymede will be built and tested primarily on Windows XP. Additional testing, as resources permit, will include the following variations:
- Use of the IBM Java 1.5/1.6 VM instead of Sun J2SE specified above
- Linux (Ubuntu)
- Locales: Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin)
Note that the primary test environment will be used to validate all milestone, release candidate and release builds.
As always, DTP would welcome additional help from the community in testing wider/deeper. Please contact the DTP PMC, if you would like to establish a testing schedule.

The Heber Springs School Board voted 3-2 in favor of allowing two transfers from Little Rock Mills to play basketball this season.
After three hours of discussion Monday evening, the Heber Springs School Board voted 3-2 in favor of allowing two transfers from Little Rock Mills to play basketball this season, overturning an ineligible ruling determined by high school principal Justin Johnston and upheld by Superintendent Russell Hester.
The administration initially ruled Willie Adkins, formerly Willie Williams, and Malik Gilliam ineligible, citing recruitment of the two student athletes, who Johnston said practiced with the team prior to enrollment along with other possible violations, including travel to AAU basketball games.
"It's clear violations have taken place. If I sign off on that it would open up all our young men and women to sanctions by the AAA," said Johnston. "I don't know that he [Coach Kevin Kyzer] talked to them about coming to Heber but I know he practiced them. It's my responsibility to enforce these rules."
With emotions running high in a crowded meeting room, Heber Springs School District lawyer Jay Bequette and Kim Kelley, a family practice attorney hired by Steven Adkins to represent his adopted son Willie, debated the situation with the board as several witnesses took the stand.
Bequette opened by stating, "I just wanted to address the board at the beginning of this meeting and have a talk about the basic principles of school board governance. And following that the propriety of whether this board should even conduct this hearing.
"I've represented numerous school boards across the state and over 20 years of representing districts and school boards in educational matters. A lot of matters I've been involved in emanate from school board governance issues. I understand how it happens because we are human beings, boards are made up of human beings and we want to help people. We want to take action and sometimes it's difficult to make the decision to refrain from taking action."
Bequette recommended the board stand by Johnston and Hester's decision to rule the student athletes ineligible. "The administration's job is to administer, implement and enforce the policies established by the board. When things begin to go wrong and school districts and boards begin to operate ineffectively and inefficiently is when school boards try to do the job of the administration or when the administration tries to do the job of the school board. When that happens dysfunction results because the way efficient, effective institutions run is when they stick to the roles and responsibilities defined by statute and by board policy and the laws that govern the operation of the board.
"The specific matter we are here for today is not provided for in any Arkansas laws, district policies, board policies, Arkansas Department of Education rules or any other source that I am aware of," Bequette continued. "In a case of a student's eligibility to participate in extra-curricular activities such as basketball in this case we look to the law provocated from the general assembly and the district and there is no district policy on student eligibility except for a statement in the student handbook that says the district is to comply with Arkansas Department of Education requirements regarding student eligibility to participate in extra-curricular activities. The Department of Education has in turn delegated the authority to oversee extra-curricular activities in this state and interscholastic athletics specifically to the Arkansas Activities Association."
Bequette warned that allowing the two athletes to participate in an event sanctioned by the AAA could compromise the entire athletic program for up to one year. "It's up to the Superintendent or principal to enforce AAA rules not the school board. There is no provision under AAA rules, Arkansas law for the board to be involved at all in the determination of a student eligibility for extra curricular activities," said Bequette.
Furthermore, Bequette said the students have an option to take the case to the equity office at the Arkansas Department of Education or Office of Civil Rights located in Dallas.
"Due process does not attach to the participation in extra-curricular activities because participation in extra-curricular activities is not a constitutional right, it is a privilege. In the case of a student seeking to be eligible for extra-curricular activity, due process is not an issue because there is no constitutional right involved.
"If a student disagrees with the administration's decision to determine eligibility the student has recourse. If a student believes his or her eligibility was improperly determined and that decision was motivated on whole or in part by race, there is an equity department at the Arkansas Department of Education that receives complaints and is authorized by the department to investigate and rule on those complaints.
"There is also an office of Civil Rights located in Dallas through the U.S. Department of Education that is explicitly charged with investigating claims that students were discriminated against. It's not like the students or parents here do not have recourse if it is believed the decision was made on race, sex or some other suspect classification," concluded Bequette.
In rebuttal, Kelley argued that the players should be eligible. "You all represent the people in this community," she told the school board. "No AAA rule has been violated. We have administrators saying it has been violated. What we need is the board to make a ruling. All students deserve equal access to compliment their education."
Steven Adkins, who is the biological father of senior guard Austin Adkins, said he adopted Williams after witnessing his living conditions in Little Rock, where Williams stayed with his mother but qualified as homeless.
"I grew up in Little Rock in the mid to late 80s and kinda saw how things were. When we would take these kids home and see how they were living and Willie told me his story and how he was raised and what he had been through we didn't want him to have to stay anywhere like that moving from this house to this house to this house. It broke our heart and we fell in love with the kid."
Austin Adkins, Steven Adkins and several other Heber teammates and parents developed a relationship with Williams and Gilliam while watching the kids compete together on an AAU basketball team.
"I met them through basketball but there was four kids from Heber on the same AAU team out of Little Rock. They were coached down there so me and the other parents took turns carpooling so we wouldn't all have to go down there for practices. Their siblings would come to practice and I met one of their grandmothers at practice and just like anybody else we talked to them, 'Hey that's my kid and things like that.'
"We got to know them a little bit and Malik and Willie and two other boys came and stayed the night at our house when we played in the Conway Tournament because it was close by. They fell in love with the place, with the area and couldn't believe you could actually go to bed at night without locking your doors."
Adkins adopted Williams on Nov. 12, 2013 and assumed his future adopted son was officially enrolled in late May after meeting with a school counselor. However, Johnston said Williams was not officially enrolled until Aug. 22.
In late May, with the consent of both Williams and Gilliam's mothers, Adkins thought he had enrolled the two students at Heber. "The counselor got their transcripts sent over from [Mills] and told me I needed proof of residency on them. I told him I don't have proof of residency because they were in the process of moving but I wanted to get them enrolled. I thought that was pretty much the end of it and they were enrolled. I didn't know there was any other process," added Adkins.
Kelley pointed to the school district rules to state her case for the two young men. "It says a student legally adopted and attending school in which his legal adoptive parents reside meets the requirement. Mr. Adkins should not be in position of having his biological child being able to play and his adoptive child not being able to play due to the timing of when he was adopted. They should all be treated equally as far as eligibility rules," said Kelley.
Kelley stated the AAA recruiting rule, which reads "Athletic recruiting is defined as the use of undo influence and/or special inducement by anyone connected directly or indirectly with a AAA member school in an attempt to encourage or induce pressure, urge or entice a prospective student of any age to transfer or to retain a student at the school for the purpose of competing in interscholastic athletics."
Adkins denied having any conversations of that nature, saying "No I did not."
Willie, who reports a 3.5 GPA, took the stand moments later and described a terrifying upbringing in Little Rock, where he witnessed an armed home invasion while living with his biological mother. "They didn't influence or entice me to come up here it was a decision made by me and my mom," said Willie.
"Willie's plan is to go to college whether he plays ball or not," said Adkins. "We didn't want to leave him there. We want him to be a part of our family and when he goes off to college he can still come home and this will be his home. Not to take anything away from his biological family because we are not keeping him from them. But with the help of a little bigger family … I can put him on my insurance through work and there is a lot more opportunity for him."
Gilliam was also designated as homeless before moving to Heber Springs, where his mom Kimberly Gilliam, now resides. Gilliam officially enrolled at Heber on Aug. 14. "I'm not sure how a bona fide move applies to kids who are homeless ever," said Kelley in response to Bequette, who said the boys had not made a move considered to be within the rules.
Mason Reed, a long time Heber Springs resident, spoke out on the issue. "I'm a little choked up over this. I've sat where you all are sitting now. I feel for these two gentlemen with all that has been set up with the rules and the regulations and the guidelines. But I know for a fact that there has been enticing and invitations to come to other programs in Heber Springs. This situation is tough on these two young men. They didn't get their paperwork right and residence established. If we are going to play cat and mouse with who gets turned in there are other things going on that need to be looked at in the future. We need it to be a fair playing field," added Reed.
Johnston insisted that he would do anything in his power for the kids involved, but allowing them to play would put the entire athletic program at risk.
"Right now I am in charge to enforce the rules. We are in the process of self-policing because we are in charge of enforcing the rules. I have spoken to the AAA and they do not make rules on eligibility. For me to knowingly say let's roll the dice and see what happens is irresponsible, unprofessional and unethical. It's not an option for our school district to run that risk with our students," stressed Johnston. "We are making that decision to protect our school district. I feel for them and despite what anybody wants to say I care about them and want them to be successful."
School board member Al Thomas, who made a motion to overrule the administration near the conclusion of the hearing, argued that the district rule used to determine eligibility was not in place until August of 2013.
"Because of the allegations of violations of certain rules that weren't in effect I don't think the school district and administration has made its case," said Al Thomas. "When asked specifically why Kevin Kyzer is mentioned in a letter dated Oct. 4 and there is no proof. I don't think the administration can adequately support what these statements say.
"And the various rules and allegations are related to practice and they didn't apply. Whether summer school or providing room and board, I just don't think the chin has come up to the bar and so I would move for the board to request for Mr. Hester to forward the eligibility list to include both Willie Williams and Malik Gilliam," concluded Al Thomas.
Board members Gary Redd and Holly Meyer also voted to allow the players to play, while Rick Gardner and Kevin Thomas voted against the motion.
"I don't think there is proof Coach Kyzer had a conversation with these kids," said Redd. "I know too many parents that go to these games, sit in the stands with them and only one person can answer that. My only fear is, although I would love to see these two kids play ball, is that if somebody turned them in and they come in here to do an investigation and become a witch hunt, that it would only take one or two points to say it's recruiting you are ineligible and you forfeit every game. I've got a lot of parents out there… We may be playing for a state championship. Can they handle that? It's a hard decision."
Meyer, who had the deciding vote as board chairsperson, added, "It's a mystery to me why these parents were never given anything in writing."
Kevin Thomas said, "I am judging this as if I am a AAA member because the AAA is going to determine this. From the outside looking in it looks like a few of the rules could be interpreted as being broken. But having two sets of rules here it's not easy for anybody in this room.
"Being a foster parent as well I can understand offering a better life. Those boys have won just by living in this community eligibility or not they are in a much better place. I would hate to do anything that puts this school in a predicament. I've spent my whole life here, I graduated from here and this school means a lot … Much more than one basketball season. I don't want to do something that will risk the rest of the team and I guess the AAA being non-responsive hurts us here. Principal Johnston I think you have done a great job of documenting this here. It's all right here for us to see. I say all of that to say 'Do you feel if we played these boys in half a game and self-reported the incident where do you see the harm in that?," Thomas asked Bequette.
Bequette replied, "For them to be eligible their names have to be submitted on the eligibility list and I don't believe the principal is willing to do that because to do so risks Mr. Johnston from being expelled from the AAA because he would have knowingly submitted an eligibility list with players that the principal believed ineligible would be a violation of AAA rules.
"So I don't think we ever get there but if the board does something else, orders the Superintendent to do that then the Superintendent has a decision to make. But I think we are in a situation where a responsible, ethical reasonable administrator could put his name to an eligibility list when the administrator believes the rule has been violated," Bequette concluded.
Kyzer, who mentioned growing up in a difficult situation , said he is comfortable with allowing the players to participate as long as they registered prior to June, when the Panthers began practice.
"If the [registration] is before May 30 I am absolutely perfect with everything. Filling out registration papers and actually filling out a class schedule would the AAA not consider that registering? It's been that way everywhere I have been. I know everybody on both sides has to feel for these kids. It's hard for me to fathom that the AAA can't make a decision and they are the governing body of sports. It's bizarre to me."
Willie Adkins played for the Panthers in Tuesday night's game against Mayflower and Gilliam dressed out. Willie Adkins scored 10 points in Heber's 57-54 overtime loss to the Eagles.

Officer Shot, Killed In Confrontation With Pedestrian
Patrolman Christopher Matlosz
Associated Press
January 15, 2011
LAKEWOOD, N.J. — A man was being questioned by a police officer who had driven up to him on a residential street Friday afternoon when he pulled a handgun from his clothing and fired three bullets into the officer in what the county prosecutor called "a heinous, execution-style killing."
A massive manhunt was under way in this community near the Jersey shore for the killer of Patrolman Christopher Matlosz, who had just transferred from the night shift a week ago and was engaged to be married next year.
His fiancee rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead less than an hour after the shooting.
"This is a terrible tragedy, and our hearts and prayers go out to Officer Matlosz's family, friends, fellow officers and the entire New Jersey law enforcement community," Gov. Chris Christie said. "While the facts are still being gathered, we support the Lakewood police and Ocean County Prosecutor's Office in their work to bring swift justice to whomever is responsible."
Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford said Matlosz never saw it coming. She said the officer was conducting "a routine stop" of the suspect, chatting with him for a few minutes, leading authorities to believe the two may have been acquainted with each other before the shooting.
"This was an encounter that was between the officer and the person, not hostile," she said. "The individual stepped back and suddenly pulled out a handgun and shot the officer."
While the suspect fled on foot, a neighbor called 911 just after 4 p.m. to report an officer down. Matlosz was rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where he died in the trauma unit. He is survived by his mother and a brother.
The suspect was described as a black male in his early 20s or late teens, stockily built with sunken eyes and puffy cheeks. He was wearing a black hoodie and dark jeans slung so low that gray boxer shorts were visible, according to a witness account to police.
Officers were swarming the neighborhood and several helicopters were swooping low over homes and trees in the area. State Attorney General Paula Dow promised the killer would be caught.
"I am deeply saddened to learn about the fatal shooting of Lakewood police Officer Chris Matlosz, who lost his life in the line of duty this evening," Dow said. "Rest assured, the suspect responsible for this horrific act will be apprehended and brought to justice."
The State Policeman's Benevolent Association is offering a $40,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the suspect, according to the group's spokesman, Jim Ryan.
Matlosz, 27, joined the department Aug. 14, 2006, and had just transferred to the evening shift after more than three years on the midnight shift, police Chief Robert Lawson said. He lived in nearby Manchester Township.
"Chris was one of our most popular officers," the chief said. "You might say he was the best of us. He was very dedicated to his job. I have a lot of accolades about him from the public."
His death was the second shooting incident involving a Lakewood police officer in recent years.
In September 2009, another Lakewood police officer, Patrolman Jonathan Wilson, was critically wounded when he was shot in the face during a gun and drug raid that resulted in a gun battle. Three other officers were shot but received lesser injuries.
A suspect in that case faces attempted murder charges.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents cited two Louisiana men for alleged deer hunting violations on Oct. 16 in Avoyelles and Rapides parishes.
Agents cited Barry B. Laiche, 17, of Marksville, and Travis Maddox, 26, of Echo, for taking deer using illegal methods, possession of illegally taken deer, failing to comply with deer tagging requirements, taking illegal deer during an open season and hunting on Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) lands without permission from land owner. Maddox was also cited for hunting without a big game hunting license.
Agents received information that Laiche and Maddox illegally killed a total of five deer on or about Oct. 7 and 8 on Grand Lake Rod and Gun Club property. Agents learned that Laiche drove his truck onto the property to retrieve the killed deer.
Agents arrived at Laiche's residence to question him and noticed his vehicle parked in the yard. Agents found blood and hair on the tailgate of the truck and inside the bed. Agents then learned that Laiche was incarcerated in the Avoyelles Parish Jail on non-related charges.
After agents questioned Laiche, he admitted that he and Maddox did illegally kill five deer on the Grand Lake Hunting Club with a .308 caliber and 45-70 caliber rifles. Agents obtained a search warrant for Laiche's residence and seized photos of three antlerless deer and two antlered deer and antlers from a seven point buck.
Agents then arrested Maddox and booked him into the Avoyelles Parish Jail.
Possession of illegally taken deer brings a $400 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail. Taking illegal deer during an open season carries a $500 to $750 fine and 15 to 30 days in jail. Taking deer using illegal methods brings a $250 to $500 fine and up to 90 days in jail. Failing to comply with deer tagging requirements and hunting on DMAP lands without permission from land owner each carries a $100 to $350 fine and up to 60 days in jail. Hunting without a resident big game license brings up to a $50 fine and 15 days in jail.

NORWICH � For some people, reading this print is difficult. They hold up magnifying glasses and may need to squint, and their frustration can be overwhelming.
On Wednesday, Norwich�s Otis Library debuted a new reading tool designed to aid those who have difficulty reading smaller print.
The device, Optelec Clearview+Speech, is a 24-inch touch-screen monitor that allows those suffering from vision impairment to read documents and to hear through text-to-speech technology.
Elanah Sherman, who works for the state Office of Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities, has worked with the library in the past to improve services for those with disabilities. She said she was �wonderfully surprised� by the news of the new system.
�Access and independence are two keystones� of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Sherman said. �With this technology, the library offers both to their patrons with low vision.�
Staff members were trained on the new system, and it only took about an hour to get in-depth knowledge of it. The hope is that patrons who want to read or have their material read aloud will be able to navigate the device within minutes.
�The idea for the company was simplicity,� said Charlie Collins, director of sales for Optelec US and founder of Vision Dynamics.
Use of the equipment entails placing reading material, such as a newspaper, at the base of the monitor, where the magnifier is. Instantly, the subject is displayed on screen. Using a finger, the reader can tap the screen to enlarge and decrease size as well as change the text from black on white or white on black.
The text-to-speech system, also operated by a finger tap or by mouse click, can read 30 languages with the option to change reading voices; the function can only be used for printed works, though, not handwritten materials.
Estelle Goselin, of Norwich, has macular degeneration and uses a handheld magnifier to read things, but she said it hardly helps. She wants to use the new equipment to read things such as her checks and mail since now she relies on someone to double-check those things.
Goselin, whose daughter, Julie Menders, is a program coordinator at Otis, said she wants to �be independent as long as I can.�
Otis Library was able to purchase the new system using a grant with the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Those who wish to use the equipment can call (860) 889-2365, Ext. 108, to make a reservation, or they can drop by to see if it is not being used.

Content → Objects → Locomotives
LocoDialog Interface Tab.
Interface ID
Only set this to the IID you set in the rocrail.ini if your setup has more than one CS connected.
If this option is activated all Loco and Function commands will send to all connected Command stations.
See: Addressing
The decoder address which range depends on the decoder type and underlying Command Station.
- Marklin mfx-Decoders may need special settings depending on the command station. See the wiki page of the relevant command station, if applicable.
- Locos with address 0 (zero) are considered to be analog locos without decoders which are only supported by TrackDriver systems. "Stretched 0 Bit" according to NEM 670 is not supported.
The optional second address can be used for T4T (TrainCoupling&CommunicationSystem).
Some Command Station, like the ESU Ecos, are using an Object ID instead of an address for referring to a specific loco.
This field can be left empty because the Ecos library can also look up locos by ID or address.
Some command stations do support multiple protocols; Check the user manual for details.
If the address is set to zero the protocol should be set to Analog for Track Driver support.
Protocol version
If the Command Station cannot determine the decoder type itself you must specify the version as listed here ddx-en or found in the SRCP description. Most systems do not use this parameter because it is set directly in the CS or it does only support one version.
Decoder steps
Number of speed steps the decoder is set up to. Rocrail needs the number of the decoder's speed steps e. g. to be able to calculate the wanted velocity in percent or KM/H.
- The number of speed steps of the decoder, the command station and in Rocrail must match otherwise the loco light (F0) may not work correctly.
The optional second speed steps can be used for T4T.
Number of functions
Number of extra functions supported by the decoder used. Default F0…F4.
The KMH column, the second one, is for displaying the throttle speed in kmh and is available only when Percent mode is selected
- All KMH and V values must be set greater then zero to activate the display values
- Percent values in between will be interpolated.
- This KMH values will be handled with KMH settings in objects, e.g. max kmh values in blocks, routes, cars and trains (11.056+)
With the check-box Percent activated velocities are in percent of the maximum decoder step. With a decoder offering 28 decoder steps as an example, 100% equals decoder step 28 whereas 50% equals decoder step 14.
Note: V_Max reduces the maximum velocity of the locomotive in percent-mode if values below 100 (percent) are entered.
Note: It is generally not recommended to reduce a locomotive's maximum speed by only V_Max as the number of available decoder steps would be reduced. Example: A locomotive equipped with a Motorola decoder featuring 14 decoder steps has a maximum velocity of 200 km/h but the maximum velocity of the original engine is 120 km/h. Reducing V_max to 60%, which is decoder step eight, leaves eight speed steps for the 120 km/h range. This will lead to an increase / decrease of 15 km/h (120 km/h : 8) per decoder step. It is thus favourable to adjust the decoder itself to the desired maximum speed if possible leaving V_Max to values around 100%. Decoders without any internal speed setting, however, may be adjusted by decreasing V_Max if necessary.
Unchecking the check-box Percent activates the km/h mode.
Note: The locomotives maximum velocity is not influenced by V_Max in km/h mode.
V_Max has to be set to the velocity the model engine gains at the highest decoder step. This value is the basis for Rocrail's calculation of all other velocities. Example: If a model engine was adjusted to 80 km/h maximum speed
80 has to be entered into the field V_max. If, for example, 35 km/h is the desired speed for V_Mid
35 has to be entered there.
Note: A linear speed curve is a prerequisite for a working km/h mode, e.g. a V_Mid of
35indeed yields 35 km/h. If this condition can not be fulfilled it is recommended to use percent mode instead.
V_Min - KMH_Min / V_RMin
This should be set to the slowest reasonable locomotive velocity and is set when running in auto mode on the pre2in event (see also Sensors and Blocks).
The value is in km/h or % depending on V_mode (see below).
V_Rmin: This should be set to the slowest possible reverse locomotive velocity. V_min will be used if left to zero.
V_Mid - KMH_Mid / V_RMid
This should be set to a medium locomotive velocity and is set when running in auto mode on the enter event.
The value is in km/h or % depending on V_mode (see below).
V_Rmid: This should be set to a medium reverse locomotive velocity. V_mid will be used if left to zero.
V_Cru - KMH_Cru / V_RCru
If set greater then zero this is used as the cruise locomotive velocity instead of 80% of V_max
The value is in km/h or % depending on V_mode (see below).
V_Rcru: This should be set to the cruise reverse locomotive velocity. V_cru will be used if left to zero.
V_Max - KMH_Max / V_RMax
V_max has two different meanings depending on V_mode (see below):
- In percent mode the value defines the maximum velocity in percent of the maximum number of decoder steps
- In km/h mode the value has to represent the velocity of the loco at highest decoder step (i. e. 28/128, or 14,27 depending on the decoder).
The value is not used to adjust the maximum velocity. This has to be achieved by adjusting the decoder itself (e. g. CV6 for DCC compatible decoders).
V_Max sec.
The optional second V_max can be used for T4T.
V_Rmax: Should be set accordingly for reverse running. V_max will be used if left to zero.
¹) Reverse velocity settings are for automatic mode only and do not apply to throttles or other manual controllers.
Only to be used when this is an analog loco in combination of the Dinamo CS. (Check the documentation.)
A value of 5 is a good start to experiment with.
Dir Change pause
Some old Delta like decoders need some pause between a direction change and the last turnout command. With about 100ms this will do the trick when running DDX.
Poll info
XpressNet does not propagate loco changes issued by throttles.
By activating this option, and if the loco is not in auto mode, every second a request is send to the Command Station to get the actual information needed to update the Rocrail clients.
Use with care. This option is not recommended and not supported in the Forum, and uses unnecessary CPU resources.
When the loco runs the wrong direction this flag can be swapped.
For commuters this flag is automatically swapped in terminal station block types and for routes in the opposite direction.
This flag is default set and means a Loco run direction like coming out of the box; some older decoders do only remember the direction for a short period after shut-down the power.
When the decoder has "forgotten" its previous direction, then it will run the next time in its "default" direction.
If the flag is not set the placing type is swapped.
Read also: Direction in Rocrail
Adjust acceleration
- Only available in combination with DCC and Trains.
- The max. load and the acceleration range must be set greater then zero.
- If the total train weight is zero the min. acceleration value is used.
- The new calculated acceleration value will be written by POM in CV3 after assigning a train or in case Car properties have been modified.
- The min. acceleration value will be written by POM in CV3 after releasing the assigned train.
Max. Load
The max. load for this locomotive in tons.
Min./Max. Acceleration
The CV3 range to use for loads between zero and max. load.

Kathy Sullivan: Where are the Republicans willing to challenge NH's top Democrats?BY KATHY SULLIVAN
July 22. 2013 4:23PM
EXECUTIVE COUNCILOR Chris Sununu's decision to run for re-election rather than another office such as governor or U.S. senator was a serious blow to the New Hampshire Republican Party's 2014 recruitment efforts. Any time a Sununu runs for office in New Hampshire, money gushes into the campaign like snow melting in the spring. Combined with John E. Sununu's forgoing a race for the U.S. Senate, one wonders whether the family has decided that 2014 just is not going to be a good year for Republicans.
Chris Sununu's decision not to run against Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan was smart. Gov. Hassan has grown in popularity since her election in 2012. In April, Public Policy Polling showed her with a net 15 percent approval rating. Also in April, UNH showed the governor with a 38 percent favorable rating among independent voters, the bloc that determines election winners.
Gov. Hassan's first term accomplished much of her agenda. The budget restored investments in both the Community College System and the University System of New Hampshire. Scholarship aid was increased at public and private institutions of higher learning. On the business side, the research and development tax credit was doubled. More money was provided to the stressed mental health system. The capital budget finally provides funding for a badly needed women's prison.
Gov. Hassan's appointments also have been met with praise. Showing bipartisanship, she appointed Republican Jeff Rose to lead the Department of Resources and Economic Development. Naming Jim Craig as head of the Department of Labor gives that agency an experienced leader who understands the Legislature, as Craig is a former Democratic leader in the New Hampshire House. The appointment of the talented Joe Foster as attorney general was well received by all.
The Foster appointment caused embarrassment for New Hampshire Republican Party chair Jennifer Horn. She had attacked Gov. Hassan's legal counsel, Lucy Hodder, mistakenly believing press speculation that Hodder might be the nominee. She wasn't, and Horn's attacks only succeeded in making Horn look silly while angering high-profile Republicans who have worked with Hodder.
Gov. Hassan did not win every vote. The plan for a single high-end casino did not pass. But the people support the governor, not the House of Representatives, on this issue. The vast majority of New Hampshire residents understands there is a need to pay for badly needed infrastructure repair and other investments to move New Hampshire forward. And they agree that the sensible way of doing so is to expand legalized gambling. While Medicaid expansion did not take effect, expectations are that a study commission will produce a road map acceptable to a legislative majority.
Gov. Hassan also is well-liked on a personal level. She is following in the Lynch tradition of attending openings, touring businesses and just generally being out in the public to meet with Granite Staters and promote the state.
Currently, the only Republican seriously considering challenging Gov. Hassan is state Sen. Andy Sanborn, who is sabotaging his own candidacy. In May, he called Gov. Hassan "Haggie" on Twitter. Sanborn apologized, saying that he mistakenly combined "Maggie" and "Hassan," begging the question: If you do not know enough to proofread Twitter posts, should you really be running for governor?
More recently, he laughingly compared health care reform to the San Francisco plane crash, adding bad taste to his resume. Sanborn semi-apologized, saying "if I offended anyone, I am sorry," thus joining the club of elected officials who cannot admit to messing up. Instead, they vaguely insinuate that there must be something wrong with the people who are offended.
Filing is less than a year away. While John Lynch made a successful late entry in 2004, there is no Republican John Lynch, and Maggie Hassan, unlike Craig Benson, is popular both with her party and the public at large.
The New Hampshire GOP's candidate problems extend to other races. State Sen. Jeb Bradley is mentioned as a U.S. Senate candidate, but he appears reluctant to commit to challenging the popular Jeanne Shaheen. No Republican candidate for Congress has emerged in the 1st District. National Republicans are promoting former congressman Frank Guinta, but Guinta knows the perils of running with a weak ticket. Since another loss would be detrimental to his long-term political health, he may pass on this cycle rather than run on a ticket led by Sanborn. Meanwhile, in the 2nd District, candidate Bill O'Brien is still the same Bill O'Brien who led House Republicans to minority status.
The Republicans have trumpeted the news that Mitt Romney and some possible presidential aspirants will be helping with a couple of fundraisers. Unless there is progress on the candidate front, however, there may be no one to support with the proceeds.
Kathy Sullivan is a Manchester attorney and member of the Democratic National Committee. She was chairman of the state Democratic Party from 1999-2007.

IF that pesky little brat Punxsutawney Phil hadn't see his shadow, something very different might be happening this evening.
I might be seen, about 5-ish, strolling Boul Mich, wearing this over a little black dress?
Pattern: Chic Knits
*Eyelet Cardi*
Designer: Bonne Marie Burns
Yarn: Rowan *Wool/Cotton*
OK, that was a slightly fantastical statement, but after SO many days of sub-zero grey and looking like a TeleTubby, a parka-captive girl can dream can't she???
I'm dreaming of blue skies and huggy weather; you know where the air wraps its balmy, slighty moist arms around you and smiles.
This is the sweater that would see that smile and smile back :)
I loved working with this yarn! It knit very evenly for me on Addi Turbos. I've heard people shun knitting with cotton or blends because of issues with finger stress and gauge, but I have a theory! I'm a thrower and I think the way I hold the needles and loop doesn't stress my hands. This could possibly be one of the only benefits of knitting like a child; I knit in just about the same configuration I did the day my Grandmother taught me.
Last Saturday, I spent the entire day at the Cultural Center on Randolph (oops, no camera). It was a great turnout! There was spinning in one corner, dyeing in another. I helped make up a boatload of mini-skeins for people to play with. There was beading, knitting and more!
Then I shared a table with Natalia and Sara and we had a ball! We even got the chance to teach. A mom and her daughter came by and Sara taught the daughter to knit and I taught the mom to crochet. It was amazing

SEATTLE — Felix Hernandez walked off the mound in the ninth inning knowing the gem he just tossed was one of the best outings of his career.
Yet he still stood on the top step of the Seattle Mariners' dugout in the ninth inning begging for a run to make sure this brilliant effort came in a win.
"Just score one run. One run is all I need," Hernandez thought as the bottom of the ninth started.
Thanks to John Jaso and Casper Wells, Hernandez got his deserved victory.
Hernandez matched his career high with 13 strikeouts in a brilliant five-hitter, and Jaso's pinch-hit single in the bottom of the ninth scored Wells to give the Mariners a 1-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
Hernandez (6-5) tossed his fifth career shutout and was one of the first out of the Mariners dugout after Wells belly-flopped onto home plate with the only run.
"Tonight is as good as I've ever seen him," Seattle Manager Eric Wedge said. "Against a lot of veteran hitters, a lot of good hitters, and a 0-0 ballgame like that, you couldn't ask for anything more."
It was the third straight start where Hernandez looked more like the Cy Young winner he was in 2010. It was his 19th career 10-strikeout game and the first time he's ever struck out at least 10 in consecutive starts. The last Mariners pitcher to accomplish that was Freddy Garcia back in 1999.
His fastball was moving late and his breaking balls had bite. It was the third time in his career Hernandez struck out 13, the most recent coming on May 22, 2011, at San Diego.
"That's the best we've seen. He was unreal. His stuff was moving all over the place," Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. "He kept the ball out of the middle of the plate. He was pretty special tonight."
The only time Hernandez was tested came in the ninth. It was quite the challenge.
Hernandez struck out Pedroia on a 3-2 pitch to open the ninth inning. David Ortiz responded with a line drive back up the middle on a hanging curveball that sent Hernandez sprawling to avoid the shot. He got ahead of Jarrod Saltalamacchia 1-2, but missed on the edges and walked him on a 3-2 pitch, allowing a runner to second base for just the third time in the game.
Newly acquired Brent Lillibridge pinch-ran for Ortiz, with Adrian Gonzalez coming to the plate. Hernandez almost instantly fell behind Gonzalez 3-0, but fought back to 3-2 before Gonzalez fouled off the next four pitches. On the ninth pitch, Gonzalez hit a shot to deep left-center that Michael Saunders chased down just before the wall. Will Middlebrooks then popped out and Hernandez was left waiting to see if the Mariners offense could get him a run.
"That's one of the only parks that holds that ball," Boston Manager Bobby Valentine said of Gonzalez's shot.
Seattle's ninth-inning rally started after Jesus Montero weakly flied out to open the inning. Wells lined a double into the gap in left-center and Boston followed by surprisingly issuing an intentional walk to Justin Smoak, who had just one hit in his previous 13 at-bats. That decision allowed Wedge to use Jaso instead of Miguel Olivo, with the Red Sox out of left-handers in the bullpen.
Jaso, who already led the team in game-winning RBI, didn't waste time. His hard single into right field gave Ross enough time to field the ball and make a strong throw to the plate. Saltalamacchia appeared to have plenty of time to apply the tag, but reacted with disgust when he saw the ball on the ground, having popped out of his glove.
"I think it's just having a calm approach, you can really start to come out of your shoes and try to do more than what you normally do, what your normal approach is," Jaso said. "I think treat it like a first or second AB of the game, just looking for a pitch you can hit."
Wells' double and winning run capped a night where he was a star both at the plate and in the field. Boston batters tested Wells twice in the eighth inning.
He took away a hit from Mike Aviles with a sliding catch for the second out of the inning. Moments later, Wells was racing toward the left-field corner and made an even better backhanded sliding catch while crashing into the padded wall for the final out of the inning.
Aviles was the only batter in the Red Sox lineup who Hernandez did not strike out at least once.
"This year, this is the best game that I've thrown," Hernandez said. "I was throwing a lot of strikes and all the pitches were working."
NOTES: Boston outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury and Scott Podsednik will both begin rehab assignments today. Ellsbury will be with the Red Sox's rookie league club in the Gulf Coast League, and Podsednik will begin his rehab at Triple-A Pawtucket.

NEW YORK (AP) — One of the world's most closely watched investors is leaving Pimco as part of a series of leadership changes at the giant money manager.
Mohamed El-Erian will leave Pacific Investment Management Co. in mid-March, according to the company's parent, Allianz. El-Erian is Pimco's CEO and, along with famed investor William Gross, is co-chief investment officer. In a brief statement, Allianz gave no explanation for the departure.
Chief Operating Officer Douglas Hodge will become CEO, and Pimco founder Gross will stay as chief investment officer, Pimco said.
El-Erian helped steer the company through the tumult of the financial crisis and helped develop its concept of the "new normal" — a widely cited idea that economies will grow more slowly after the crisis and big investment returns will be hard to come by. He is widely published, and is the author of a 2008 best-seller "When Markets Collide."
Pimco has struggled in the face of rising interest rates in the past year. Investors have pulled billions of dollars out of its flagship bond fund, the Pimco Total Return Fund. In the past 12 months, the fund lost 4 percent, according to FactSet.
The son of an Egyptian diplomat, El-Erian worked at the International Monetary Fund for 15 years, eventually rising to deputy director. After a stint at Citigroup, he joined Pimco where he made a name as a shrewd investor in emerging market bonds.
El-Erian then left to head a group that invests Harvard University's endowment and other related money. He bought emerging-market stocks, and used derivatives to bet on stocks elsewhere and on commodities. He rejoined Pimco in 2008.
"I have been extremely honored and fortunate to work alongside Bill Gross, who is one of the very best investors in the world," El-Erian said in a statement. He added that he wished the group "continued success."
Pimco said El-Erian will remain on the Allianz International executive committee and advise Allianz on global economic and policy issues.
Allianz CEO Michael Diekmann said the company was pleased that it "will continue to profit" from El-Erian's expertise, including his global network and knowledge of economics.
The company said that Pimco's global head of talent management, Jay Jacobs, would become president, and it announced three other executive promotions.
AP Business Writer Dave Koenig contributed to this report from Dallas.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has presided over a scorching hot audience in St. Peter's Square in seemingly good form after cancelling two days of meetings due to an illness.
Francis began his weekly Wednesday audience about an hour early, meeting with sick and disabled pilgrims who were moved to an indoor Vatican auditorium to spare them the searing 34-degree Celsius (93-degree Fahrenheit) temperatures in the piazza.
Francis told them: "We thought you'd be better off in here, where it's a bit cooler, and not under that burning sun."
Afterward, Francis presided as usual over the hour-long audience outdoors. He made off-the-cuff remarks denouncing corrupt businessmen, human trafficking and forced child labor.
The 77-year-old pontiff came down with an unspecified illness on Monday, cancelled his audiences and took Tuesday to rest.

A man who, when entering a public restroom, and upon surveying the available urinals, chooses to pee at the urinal right next to another guy, ignoring the fact that 4 other urinals are empty. Not necessarily a homosexual act, just one of inexplicable cluelessness.
Charlie in accounting is a real pee hugger. I thought I felt his pee spray on my leg, even though there were 5 other empty urinals.
by Max Rubble March 10, 2008
