Dingle's NPC Generator: (Written and recommended by Dingle)
HeroForge: Contains extensive character generators for D&D 3.5e. Needs Microsoft Excel to work. (Recommended by Exterminatus)
Pathguy's D&D 3.5e Char Generator: Useful browser-based character generator that generates a char sheet (equipment costs and such have to be manually put in) for pre-epic games (Epic characters are for some reason are not working and will stall you). It takes a long time to load, although there is a lighter version available), and does not include some sources. (Recommended by Mordae)
Pathguy's D&D 4.0e Char Generator: Same as above generator except it is dedicated to 4e instead. Not having used it I'm not sure about 4.0e "epic". It is a very large web page, with no light version available. (Recommended by Exterminatus)
PCGen: Open source character generator that is mainly used with the d20 system but extensible. Includes only OGL content, but one can easily add custom sources for homebrews or non-included sourcebooks. (Recommended by Exterminatus)
Redblade: Contains D&D 3.5e and earlier editions character generators and other related generators. Last updated August 28, 2009. (Recommended by Exterminatus)

Seventh Sanctum: Contains many generators for names of many things, including dragons, fictional species, anime, and what-ifs. Not all of them are be guaranteed to be usable. (Recommended by Exterminatus)
Mapping Tools
Ditzie.com: A browser based combat map designed specifically for PbP RRGs. It's easily update-able. You just hit enter, and copy & paste the new url into the post after something moves, and the next in init does the same. If you go onto the gallery you can sign up to add your own images to the site. More information is available from the Ditzie blog, http://ditzie.com .
Dungeonographer: Beta-testing square-based mapping tool for classic and modern maps. Good-looking classic icons, with the capability to create and include your own. Java-based, compatible with all platforms. Direct export to PNG for upload into MW. Low-cost, actively maintained software. (Recommended by Mordae)
GoogleDocs: I've used the GoogleDocs spreadsheet for maps. It ends up working a bit like DabbleBoard, but requires people to have a Google account. The owner of the GoogleDoc must give edit permission to each player. (Not necessarily - when sharing, choose "Anyone who has the link can edit", and copy the link that it gives you.) (Recommended by DrMorganes)
Hexographer: Very nice hex map generator, including both manual editing and automatic generation tools. Good-looking terrain, with the capability to create and include your own. Java-based, compatible with all platforms. Direct export to PNG for upload into MW. Low-cost, actively maintained software. (Recommended by Mordae)
Map Tool: If you have lots of pre-made stuff to copy/paste inside, this tool is great. It allows Line of Sight effects and has GM and player views, allowing you to export both of those views to an image. Supports hexagonal and square maps, and last (of my way too short list), but not least, coordinates in the image. (Recommended by InaVegt)
PyMapper: Pymapper is an open source mapmaking program. It is based around the dungeon tiles produced by WotC. The interface allows for drag/drop of tiles onto the map. Includes the ability to add text and notes to the map file. Maps can be exported to jpg or png for use elsewhere. Includes some support of the d20 SRD as well. Can be downloaded at the above link, or here (Recommended by Toxic_Rat)
Large 3D Terrain Generator: L3DT is a random terrain generator that can be used to create geographical or topographical maps. It also features the Sapphire engine, which allows for the exploration of the generated terrain in a 3D viewer.
Dungeon Painter: Pyromancer's Dungeon Painter is a robust Flash-based map generator for creating battlemaps. Maps can be exported to jpg or png or pdf. (Recommended by Sandster)
OpenOffice Draw: OpenOffice Draw in the OpenOffice suite is perfect for a beginner. You can do as many things as a more expensive dungeon mapper can do. Don't have a bitmap for a tree? Use Google Images to find one and import it. Don't have a chest? Do the same. Want to see an example of what can be done? See here for an example. (Recommended by Astromath)
Name Generators
Hobgoblin.net Name Generator: I use this one on a pretty regular basis. While I have never played a LotR game, I always enjoy running the Tolkien names a few times and just reading them. (Recommended by Darkxarth)
Rinkworks Fantasy Name Generator: A flexible random name generator, which generates a number of names at a time, pays attention to what syllables are pronounceable in English, and can generate in various preset flavours of name or can be instructed exactly what to make. (Recommended by Naleh)
Fake Name Generator: A flexible modern random name generator. It generates a large amount of infomation and provides generic background information such as name, street address, phone numbers, email address, occupation, height and weight. (Recommended by freedomischaos)
Spell Generators
SpellGen 2.0: I never did get around to using it, but it seems fairly good. I certainly have never seen another spellbook generator. (Recommended by Darkxarth)
- 2.0 Has dependencies probably making it a poor choice for the average windows user.
DM Tools
Masterplan: Masterplan is an excellent tool that is mainly for use with D&D 4th Edition, however it can be adapted to just about any D&D campaign with a little tweaking. Includes Map Creator, Initiative Tool, Plot Flowchart w/ Details, Player Character tracking, House Rules, Notes, Campaign Encyclopaedia, Custom Creatures & NPCs, Encounter Decks, Custom Calendar Creator, Treasure Parcel Creator, and the handy-dandy Player View system. (Recommended by ShamedShadow)

Today we are taking a look at our first ever retail ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics card, which would be the ASUS EAH5870 Voltage Tweak! Rather than just selling a reference designed card, ASUS has developed something called "voltage tweak technology" that only works on graphics cards with their custom vBIOS. Does this really matter to you? Well, according to ASUS the ability to adjust the voltages could mean up to a 38% boost in performance. This is not bad at all; the ability to boost GPU voltages via the ASUS SmartDoctor utility is a great thing for gamers and power users.
The card that comes with the ASUS EAH5870 Voltage Tweak is nothing more than the reference Radeon HD 5870 with some ASUS stickers on the plastic housing and on the cooling fan. The clock speeds are also stock, which means the 1,600 stream processors are running at 850MHz. The ASUS EAH5870's 1GB of quad-pumped GDDR5 memory is clocked at 1.2GHz (4.8GHz effective). The EAH5870 is a dual-slot graphics card that measures in at 11.1″ in length, so make sure it will fit inside your case before you order one.
The back of the Radeon HD 5870 has a metal plate on it and a serial number sticker on it in case the card ever needs to be RMA'd, so it is pretty bare and boring as you can see from the image above. ATI CrossFire will be supported via the two interconnects located on the top right of the card as you can also see in the image above. On the right motherboard you will be able to run up to four of these graphics cards from CrossFire X.
The ASUS EAH5870 graphics card has a pair of dual-link DVI-I outputs along with DisplayPort and HDMI outputs. You can run a D-Sub output with an adapter. All of the hot air from the cooling fan exhausts out the small vent hole on the back of the card and the little slots just in front of the CrossFire interconnects.
The ATI Radeon HD 5870 has two 6-pin PCI-E power connectors on it and both are required for operation. A 500W or larger power supply is recommended by AMD and a list of suggested power supply units can be found here. The air intakes on the end of the card don't do too much from what we have been told by the AMD engineers (less than 10% of the air intake), but they do add some flare to the card. The only bad thing about this is that the card sticks out more, which is why the length is a hair over 11 inches!
The ATI Radeon HD 5870 measures just over 11.1″ in length, which makes it one of the largest video cards that has ever been sent to Legit Reviews for testing! As you can tell from the image above it is actually longer than the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and the GeForce GTX 295. The card sitting on the very bottom is the Radeon HD 4770, which measures just 8.25″ in length.

Life Is So GoodBook - 2000

Nice book
I approached this book with a little trepidation thinking it would be a bit sugary after reading the blurb. I am happy to say I was mistaken. A gentle narrative that takes you along like a slow lazy sunday. And what a story. George is 103 and his life spanned three centuries. He is humble, insightful, compassionate with a wry sense of humour at his rather long and, what he considers to be, an uneventful one. It is anything but.
"A man who learned to read when he was ninety-eight recalls the early hardships of his life, shares his memories of segregation, and discusses his philosophical observations."

This is one of the most inspirational books you'll ever read. Do yourself a favour and read this book! ;)
This book reminded me to be thankful of everything I have, not to judge others, not to complain, and how far you can get if you just shut up and work hard. It was an amazing and incredibly interesting book
I read this for a book club. Good book, but seemed to rush through several decades, while spending chapters on a single event/time.
George Dawson lived a full life and never found the time to learn to read until he was 98 years old. He passed away in 2001 at the age of 103 years (born 1898). His outlook on life was always positive - work hard, be good to people, and steer clear of trouble. He never cared for coffee, preferring hot chocolate as a daily drink. The book is an easy-flowing account of his life and his philosophy that you accepted what came your way and took the good out of it. Hard work was its own reward. His appeal was such that over the course of his life he had and outlived four wives.

Dr. Milgram studies cell signaling and protein trafficking in polarized cells, including kidney and airway epithelial cells. Epithelial cells form a lining at the surface of the skin and along membranes within the body. This lining is essential for cell defense, nutrient absorption and ion transport. Her research group investigates how the topmost (or apical) membrane receptors regulate the activity of ion channels, including the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel.
Focused initially on the airway epithelium, Dr. Milgram's research program has now expanded to study other epithelial cells and model systems, including the kidney and gastrointestinal tract. Her laboratory's findings suggest that receptors, signaling intermediates and effectors are compartmentalized into regulatory complexes that increase the fidelity and efficiency of cell signaling. These studies utilize diverse approaches, ranging from in vitro biochemical assays to physiological assays in knock-out mice.

"Each and every day, we are humbled by the trajectory of Android and our partners. With a year-on-year growth rate of more than 250%, 850000 new Android devices are activated each day, jetting the total number of Android devices around the world past 300 million. These numbers are a testament to the break-neck speed of innovation that defines the Android ecosystem." Andy Rubin clarified the numbers - activations are only counted once per device ID, and devices without Google services, such as the Kindle Fire, are not counted. Of these 300 million devices, 12 million are tablets - in other words, Apple has very little to fear at this point. Then again, Android on smartphones started out that way as well.

Trace the arc of UCLA's season back to its horrible loss to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
That was the flash point, when the Bruins faithful called for Coach Ben Howland's head on a platter, for massive lineup changes, for the whole foundation to be torn down and rebuilt.
It was Nov. 25. The season was six games old.
But since then, UCLA has played nine games and won eight, including seven in a row after Saturday's 68-60 triumph over Stanford in front of 10,266 at Pauley Pavilion.
The Bruins (12-3, 2-0 in Pac-12 Conference play) opened league play by sweeping the Bay Area schools and showcasing the defense Howland has long tried to instill.

DOT makes cross-border pitch
The U.S. Transportation Department on Friday announced a proposal for a new, three-year, U.S.-Mexico cross-border trucking program that would allow Mexican drivers to make U.S. deliveries beyond the border zone.
The proposal is the next step toward Mexico eliminating prohibitive tariffs against numerous U.S. exports to Mexico, a move that could happen within a few months.
The new proposal follows the previous test program, originally proposed by San Antonio business leaders, that lasted from 2007 to 2009 before Congress ended funding.
The Transportation Department posted the proposal in a Federal Register notice. The public will have 30 days to submit comments. After the comment period, the department will develop and implement a final program. A federal government shutdown is not expected to affect the comment period unless the shutdown lasts more than 30 days.
Both countries then must sign the agreement. Mexico has promised to cut in half the amount of the tariffs imposed on $2.4 billion worth of U.S. food and manufactured goods annually once the agreement is signed. Mexico will lift the remaining tariffs once Mexican trucks are authorized to make U.S. deliveries.
The Transportation Department and its Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will be able to use available funding to start the program without congressional approval, a department spokesman said Friday.
Friday was the first time the department has said it could restart cross-border trucking within its own rule-making authority and without funding approval from Congress.
In early March, the U.S. and Mexican governments revealed negotiations leading toward a resumption of cross-border trucking. In 2009, the Mexican government imposed the punitive tariffs because the United States had failed to comply with the trucking provisions of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement.
In 2010, Mexico revised the list of U.S. exports subject to prohibitive tariffs and increased the number of food and manufactured items to 99, up from the initial list of 89 products. Numerous U.S. companies have lost their Mexican markets because of the tariffs, and it's estimated that more than 10,000 U.S. jobs have been lost.
The U.S. Transportation Department will pay as much as $2.5 million from the federal Highway Trust Fund to equip Mexican trucks with electronic data recorders to ensure safety compliance, according to a Transportation Department fact sheet quoted by Bloomberg News.
The data recorders are necessary to ensure Mexican companies are complying with safety regulations, the department said in a memorandum emailed to industry groups Friday. U.S. funding will stop when the three-year program for cross-border truck traffic ends, the department said.
Friday's developments are the latest after more than 15 years of delays of the NAFTA cross-border provisions that were supposed to phase in beginning in December 1995. The Clinton administration initially delayed cross-border trucking that month, citing safety concerns over Mexican trucks and drivers.
San Antonio business leaders proposed the first cross-border trucking test program because they wanted to position the city to better service truck freight. The goal also was to move freight more efficiently throughout North America and cut costs for consumers.
"It's encouraging that we're moving forward," said Nelson Balido, president of the San Antonio-based Border Trade Alliance. "The BTA is a longtime supporter of the United States complying with NAFTA. We look forward to the day we see the first Mexican truck get its permit to do business in the United States. It will foster better competition and more trade for San Antonio, Houston and Dallas."
Opponents of cross-border trucking have taken the same arguments to Congress and the courts over the years. Truck driver unions also have said they did not want to compete with Mexican trucking fleets and drivers.
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, based in Missouri, said it was infuriated by the announcement made Friday.
"This is the wrong plan at the wrong time for numerous reasons," said Todd Spencer, OOIDA executive vice president. "It's irresponsible and reckless. The administration must reconsider, or Congress must step in again to force them to do the right thing."

A Moab man was arrested Jan. 23 for allegedly assaulting his wife. The woman, 57, told police she had made dinner for her husband and "it wasn't fancy enough" for him so he struck her in the face, according to a report from the Moab City Police Department. The woman had a cut on her cheek, according to the report.
The man, 74, denied knowing anything about the woman's injury or about dinner being made, according to the report. He was arrested and booked into Grand County Jail on charges of assault with a domestic violence enhancement. The woman refused to provide police with a written statement, according to the report.
Noise leads to
drug citation
A Moab man was ticketed for possession of marijuana on Jan. 25 after neighbors contacted police to complain about loud noise. When police arrived at the apartment on 200 North the man opened the door and the officer smelled marijuana, according to a report from the Moab Police Department. During questioning about the odor, the man handed over a small amount of marijuana, according to the report. He was cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
Woman charged with DUI
A Moab woman was arrested Feb. 2 on suspicion of driving under the influence and failure to maintain proper lane travel on 100 West and Williams Way. The woman was taken into custody and booked into the Grand County Jail on the charges, according to a report from the Utah Highway Patrol.
Man assaults woman
with cooking pan
A Moab man, 34, was arrested Jan. 20 after police were called to a home on Chinle on a report that a woman had been struck in the head with a cooking pan. The woman was bleeding from a head wound and there were two pools of blood on the kitchen floor when police arrived, according to a Moab City Police report. She was taken by ambulance to Moab Regional Hospital for treatment.
A large sauce pan was found on the floor and the officer reported that the blow was so hard the handle broke off the pan.
The man admitted striking the woman because she "accused him of being a pervert," according to the police report. He said he was washing the pan at the time of the incident and became angry because of things the woman was saying to him. He told police he had recently been released from prison and that he suffers from a mental disorder.
He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and transported to Grand County Jail.
Man arrested for DUI
The Utah Highway Patrol arrested a La Sal man on suspicion of driving under the influence on Feb. 2. The driver was stopped at the intersection of U.S. 191 and Jackson Street, according to a report from the UHP. Further investigation by the trooper led to another male from La Sal being taken into custody for illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor, according to the report.
Man injured
in U.S. 191 crash
A Moab man was seriously injured when his vehicle drifted off U.S. 191 and rolled. The man, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle and received severe injuries including several broken bones, according to a report from the Utah Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred Saturday, Feb. 2, at mile marker 116 as the vehicle was traveling north and went off the right side of the highway. The driver over-corrected and lost control of the vehicle, according to the report.
The man was transported to Moab Regional Hospital and was later flown to St. Mary's in Grand Junction for treatment.

Genome maintenance and stability are essential, and an organism's genome rarely changes. Genome instability typically leads to inviability and disease. However, examples are known where genome instability through developmentally regulated DNA loss or rearrangements is integral in the biology of the organism. Chromatin diminution is a form of programmed DNA elimination that leads to the loss of specific sequences from chromosomes. Chromatin diminution occurs during differentiation of the somatic lineage early in embryonic development. In the parasitic nematode, Ascaris, we have shown that 15% of the genome is eliminated in the somatic lineages during the 3rd through 5th cleavage (4 to 16 cell stage), while the germline genome remains intact. Specific repetitive and unique sequences (including ~700 genes) are lost during chromatin diminution to form the somatic genome. The eliminated genes are primarily expressed in the Ascaris germline and early embryo. Overall, these data suggest that chromatin diminution in Ascaris is an extreme and irreversible mechanism for silencing a subset of germline and early embryo expressed genes in somatic tissues and contributes to the distinction between the germline and soma.
Studies are now underway to determine
Spliced leader (SL) RNA trans-splicing generates the mature 5' ends of mRNAs by addition of a spliced leader sequence to the 5' end of a pre-mRNA. Addition of the SL sequence also brings a new and an atypical cap to the RNA, a trimethylguanosine cap (m2,2,7GpppN) compared to the typical m7GpppN eukaryotic cap. Current studies involve analysis of
Estimates suggest that Ascaris produces ~ 1 million eggs/day. Zygote maturation prior to pronuclear fusion and early development in Ascaris are very slow and synchronous compared to the model nematode C. elegans. These two attributes enable the staging of large amounts of material for developmental studies and other studies (see Information on Ascaris). We have shown that significant and diverse RNA polymerase II transcription occurs prior to pronuclear fusion during maturation of the zygote in the uterus and prior to the 4-cell stage during the first two divisions. This transcription occurs earlier and is more robust and diverse than any transcription previously observed in early animal development. Ascaris early development and cell lineage appears identical to that in C. elegans. However, the timing of zygotic gene activation and the maternal to zygotic transition occur much earlier and immediately following fertilization in Ascaris. Furthermore, although early gene expression is post-transcriptionally regulated and derived from maternal contributions in C. elegans, gene expression have been re-wired in Ascaris and early development is driven transcriptionally. Studies are underway to examine this transcriptional re-wiring and epigenetic changes. Depositied fertilized eggs have not undergone pronclear fusion are quiescent until incubated under appropriate conditions. Studies are underway to examine possible mechanisms of mRNA masking and translational control in these zygotes. The unqiue properties of Ascaris enables us to carry out analysis of early gene transcription and post-transcriptional gene regulation.
A variety of small RNAs including endogenous siRNA (22G-RNAs and 26G-RNAs) and miRNAs play key roles in silencing in the Ascaris germline, gametogenesis, and early development. We are interested in investigating the role and function of these small RNAs in chromatin diminution, development, gametogenesis, and the germ line.

Patriot Viper Fin Extreme Latency PC2 6400 Review
As DDR2 system memory has matured, the latencies that the modules run at have gotten tighter and tighter to reach levels that the enthusiast community look for to increase system performance. That is the name of the game isn't it? When DDR2 was introduced just a short two years ago, latencies ran as high as 6-6-6 but now, through ever improving modules, 3-3-3-or 3-4-3 are possible. It may take some additional voltage up and away from the JEDEC spec 1.8 volts to make it happen but that is what warranties are for aren't they? With the decrease in latency, a boost in performance is the expectation that the end user has. If that expectation is not there then why even bother with performance memory? For many, the benefits will not be realized since they are not in the know and good ole' generic system memory will work. For those that understand the benefits of decreased latency, this would be the sytem memory for you.
The Patriot Viper Fin PC2 6400 2 x 1 GB set of modules are one set of Xtreme latency modules. These recently introduced modules are designed to run at latencies of 3-4-3-8 at DDR2 400 speeds using 2.3 volts. While 2.3 volts may seem high for everyday use, these modules were designed to run at this voltage specification and even carry a warranty. Will the specially designed ACC (Aluminum Copper Cpmposite) heatspreaders be enough to keep these modules cool under fire from 2.3 volts? Only time and testing will reveal the answer to this question.
Closer Look:
The Patriot Viper Fin PC26400 comes in a clamshell enclosure with the modules securely locked in place. Included in the package is a quick start and installation guide to help with the installation.
The PC2 6400 modules are labeled as Xtreme Latency modules. Manufactured to run at 3-4-3-8 latencies at DDR2 400 speeds at 2.3 volts. The specially designed heatspeaders denote this set as part of the Viper Fin series of high performance modules.
The Viper Fin series of modules use a uniquely designed heatspreader to dissipate the heat load generated by 2.3 volts on the system memory. The heatspreader uses a design that Patriot calls ACC (Aluminum Copper Composite). This design uses a copper inner layer that contacts the modules to wisk away the heat to the aluminum outer layer that features many rdges to effectively increase the surface area of the heatspreader. This makes the design more efficient at dealing with the heat load.

Ah, and also,Originally Posted by Eway
what are the differences betwee "stress" and "pressure"?

Student or Learner
What are the differences between "work" and "job"?
It seems people say "work permit" and "work experience" but not "job permit", "job experience".
Does this mean "work" can be used as an adjective while "job" cannot?
And, are there any differences between "pleasing" and "pleasant"?

The word "job" is a noun. It is a countable noun. It can be used as a verb. However, it isn't very common. Let's just call it a noun for our purposes in answering this question.
work permit - Here, "work" is more logical to use as "work permit" means "permission to work". We would not say "permission to job".
work experience - The same thing goes here. We would not say "experience jobbing", but we would say "experience working".
So, "work" is the logical choice here, not "job".
I hope I've explained this well enough.
You can receive or feel stress as a result of peer pressure.Originally Posted by Eway
Someone or something can pressure you. As a result, you might feel stress. In this way, pressure can make you feel stress. However, stress would not make you feel pressure, necessarily.
Stress is a result of pressure. However, pressure is not a result of stress.
That's how I see it.
Great explanation. It's a tough one. I'll just settle for collocations. :DI hope I've explained this well enough.
Thank you. :DOriginally Posted by blacknomi
I like collocations too. 8) :)

Depression is a pain that anyone can feel at any age. However, our psychologists at Westmount have noted that when depression is not treated, it can become difficult to bear and it can cause problems at work, in our interpersonal relationships and in our lives in general. Consequently, our psychologists understand that depression can make one vulnerable. If you or someone around you is showing symptoms of depression, come and speak to one of our professional psychologists today.

|SANYO Short Throw Distance LCD Projector
|Wednesday, 20 June 2007
one of the world's largest manufacturers of 3LCD projectors
demonstrated their PLC-XL50 LCD Projector. The unique short throw
distance of the PLC-XL50 allows projection in virtually any
environment, particularly areas that traditional projectors can not be
used, such as floors and desktops.
"The PLC-XL50 will be the projector of choice for many space
constrained applications, particularly in the educational and public
information markets," says Mark Holt, the Vice President and General
Manager for SANYO's Presentation Technologies Division. "This is a
powerful and revolutionary display tool for the office, digital signage
(electronic advertising) and classrooms, creating a more impressive
ambience in any location."
In order for SANYO to shorten the projection distance of the PLC-XL50, new large diameter aspheric (non-spherical) lens and high-precision aspheric mirror technology were developed. A new optical engine was also developed, which enables an 80-inch projection from the short distance of about 3-inches (8 cm). This creates an opportunity to project extremely large images in any room or space that is available.
The proprietary optical and cooling mechanism technology used in the PLC-XL50 allows both vertical and horizontal projection. The new optical engine was created with a high-precision aspheric mirror combined with a distortion correction mechanism lens, enabling large magnification without distortion, even from ultra-short distances. To allow projection either vertically or horizontally, a special cooling mechanism was also essential. The resulting solution is a one-way flow system consisting of an air intake and exhaust mechanism on the main body of the projector -- thus allowing optimal positioning of the main components.
By shortening the distance for projection, the options for installation are greatly improved, which includes floor, tabletop and wall mount projection. The variety of applications is almost limitless, providing effective, quick and easy presentations or announcements.
Projecting a large screen on the floor in a pre-school creates a new style of teaching and classroom interaction.
• When installing the projector directly above the screen or blackboard in classroom, the light that once entered the teachers' eyes and long shadows are a thing of the past.
• Used as a tabletop projector, images can be projected on a dark surface allowing designers and architects to see their designs more visually for review or additional inspiration.
• The projector can be used in department stores to advertise sale products in hallways or on open floor spaces, optimizing the use of all available space.
• It is still possible to project large images when placing the projector directly next to a wall in a small office or meeting room.
• The projector can be used to make announcements on the ceiling, wall or floor at the entrance of a business or in a lobby.
Additional features include Top and Bottom Keystone Correction for proper alignment of the projector, a Color Board Mode, which allows adjustment of the hue when projecting an image on a colored (non-white) surface so that it appears to be projected on a white surface. The additional Black Board Mode enables educational institutions to use the projector with all standardized educational boards.
The PLC-XL50 has been outfitted with a built-in vibration sensor alert. An alarm sounds when the unit is picked up, proving to be an effective theft-deterrent. The unit turns on automatically when the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet and with the Easy-Off function it's possible to remove the power cord without waiting for the machine to cool down, which is convenient for quickly clearing away the area after a presentation.

He's sorry, though you might have guessed that already. No real surprise here, because they're always sorry once the lies crumble and the fraud is exposed.
Ryan Braun wants you to know he's ashamed of what he did. Has no one to blame but himself. Loves the game of baseball so much.
We knew this was coming, because this is the way it always works. A contrite statement now, perhaps some tears on Oprah later, and the next thing you know Braun will be standing in left field in Arizona next spring as if the whole thing was just a giant misunderstanding that a simple ballplayer couldn't avoid.
Might be better than the way he started spring training last year. There, as you might remember, he defiantly proclaimed his innocence while questioning the integrity of a sample collector whose biggest mistake was not knowing which FedEx office was open on weekends.
"If I had done this intentionally or unintentionally, I'd be the first one to step up and say, 'I did it.,'" Braun said then. "By no means am I perfect, but if I've ever made any mistakes in my life I've taken responsibility for my actions. I truly believe in my heart, and I would bet my life, that this substance never entered my body at any point."
It was, of course, utter hogwash, and Braun knew it. But he didn't stop there.
"I've always stood up for what is right," he said. "Today is about everybody who's been wrongly accused, and everybody who's ever had to stand up for what is actually right."
Fast forward to Thursday night when Braun released a statement signaling his rehabilitation campaign is well under way. Well written for a guy who makes his living hitting baseballs, it covered most bases. The talking points were there, even if Braun wasn't actually talking.
Believe it at your own risk.
"I understand it's a blessing and a tremendous honor to play this game at the Major League level," Braun said. "I also understand the intensity of the disappointment from teammates, fans, and other players. When it comes to both my actions and my words, I made some very serious mistakes and I can only ask for the forgiveness of everyone I let down. I will never make the same errors again and I intend to share the lessons I learned with others so they don't repeat my mistakes."
There's more, of course, but you get the point. No questions, please, about that cream and lozenge that Braun conveniently says were used only to heal an injury and only for a short time.
Those will all be handled by Oprah. Besides, all seems forgiven in the clubhouse already.
"It certainly was enough for me," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "I think it's enough for his teammates."
It's not enough for the fans Braun cheated and lied to along the way, though. It shouldn't be enough for Matt Kemp, who lost an MVP title to a juicer.
And it certainly isn't enough for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who might have been on their way to a World Series in 2011 had they not run into a hitter they couldn't seem to get out in the playoffs.
Instead of listening to Braun, listen to Arizona manager Kirk Gibson, who saw this coming even before Braun's statement.
"I said this a long time ago: I think that people should have an opportunity to ask him some questions and have him answer them unrehearsed," Gibson said last week. "Something tells me he's getting really prepared for just about anything that they could throw at him."
Forgive Gibson if he's a bit suspicious. He was in the dugout for the Diamondbacks on Oct. 1, 2011, when Braun went 3 for 4 and scored two runs as the Milwaukee Brewers opened the playoffs with a 4-1 win over Arizona. It was after that game that a specimen collector named Dino Laurenzi Jr. came into the locker room and asked Braun for the urine sample that would later test positive for vastly increased levels of testosterone.
The playoff series was so close that it took until the 10th inning of Game 5 for the Brewers to pull it out. Braun went 9 for 18 in the series, juiced on testosterone and batting in the center of the Brewers lineup.
Performance enhancing drugs may just sound like a concept. But in Braun's case they may have altered the course of the playoffs, and stolen a season from a team.
Braun didn't apologize for that in his statement. Didn't mention it at all. It's not in the script most surely carefully prepared by his public relations people and lawyers to get him back in the good graces of Brewers fans again.
Well, here's a script Braun should follow if he really wants us to buy his story:
— Hold a press conference immediately and answer all questions. Don't hide behind lawyers or claim there are some things that can't be discussed. They can, and they must.
— Give the 2011 MVP trophy to Kemp, the runner-up. It was won fraudulently, and Braun has no right to keep it.
— Apologize to Diamondback fans and players for robbing them of their moment.
— Stay away from Oprah. We've heard enough sob stories already.
The path to redemption is there. The only question is whether Braun has the courage to take it.

Post subject: An interesting bug
Hi @Inoxidabile
This is a rather interesting bug. I have no way of testing to assist in its resolution (no way to replicate your external multimedia drive over USB)
But, I think you have brought awareness to a configuration issue that may have applicability as we move into the future. One particular is a scenario that I have thought about over the holidays where I can run a x86 motherboard without internal peripheral with only a USB/eSATA DVD drive. Reasonable expectation but, as you share here, that configuration may not work with a 32bit PUP. For, as you report there are boot time issues affecting system start.
This reasoning came as a result of looking at FATSlacko which has run without reboot since its original desktop configuration and reboot in the spring of last year. Without a need for internal storage (system has plenty of RAM), an external CD/DVD boot option would be applicable for a startup and setup of a PUP which is rarely, if ever, rebooted.
Hope others who can replicate this can assist in pointing the finger at the internal problem occurring.

In the German forum some guys have found that also
is working and will find the sfs file. Which seems like the
is not used.
On the other hand and from my own research and work on LazY Puppy I know, pmedia IS USED several times inside the initrd.gz file.
The Init script of initrd.gz wrote:
if [ "$PMEDIA" ];then #kernel boot param
case $PMEDIA in
usbflash|usbhd) #impose restriction to only probe usb drives...
#LESSPARTS0="`echo "$LESSPARTS0" | grep -v -F "$ATADRIVES0"`" #110126

LESSPARTS0="`echo "$LESSPARTS0" | grep -v $REMOVEDRIVE`"
cd) #101021
#[ "$PRAMONLY" = "yes" ] && LESSPARTS0="`echo "$LESSPARTS0" | grep '^sr'`" #101218 do not search other drives.
[ "$PRAMONLY" = "yes" ] && LESSPARTS0="`echo "$PCPARTSALL" | grep '^/dev/' | cut -f 1-2 -d '|' | grep 'iso9660' | sed -e 's%/dev/%%'`" #110126 do not search other drives.
#note: a mistake if have PDEV1 on usb booting, as it can change.
if [ "$PDEV1" ];then #kernel boot param.

I suspect that Volhout is correct about this being a timing issue. Old Puppies like 431 were inefficient at finding their sfs. So by the time a USB device had initialized, Puppy was ready to find it.
But newer Puppies do a more efficient search and may look for the sfs file on a USB device before it is ready.
Try the boot option "puppy pmedia=xxx". Because this is a bogus option, Puppy will start a full search. It may eventually find the sfs file correctly.

Post subject: Which USBx?
Here's another question that might be contributory:
Is this USB1 OR USB2 OR USB3? Remember USB1 is from the 486/Pentium1 days.
The issue maybe if someone has a similar or newer USB config for testing who could share that its consistent, no matter which USBx is used,
if its related to the
If issues with USB are reported, should we be reported which USBx is having the problem so that community may better be able to address?
Does anyone have an external USB CD/DVD drive to test this phenomenon?
hope this idea is helpful, if applicable.

Post subject: sfs doesn't load
Hi inoxidabile,
This is indeed a fascinating problem and I agree with
, that for the future benefit of the puppy community, it is one worth trying to solve.
I had an almost identical issue trying to boot 533 from a USB stick when I ran without a hard disc for a few days. Changing the boot codes in syslinux from sdb1 to sda1 solved the problem. It would I believe, be worth trying to get your system to boot by any means if only to then determine how the running puppy perceives the various drives. It would give clues to how the ISO could be re-mastered with appropriate boot codes in isolinux.cfg for your system.
If you are game and have a second USB port (assuming that no variation on pmedia= works) could you copy the main sfs from the ISO to the root of a non-bootable
USB stick then attempt the following:
1. Simply try booting from the CD with that stick also plugged in.(Puppy might find the sfs)
2. If that fails (which it probably will) try again with the stick plugged in and try in turn each of the following boot codes:
a) pupsfs=sda1:/puppy_lxpup_12.sfs
b) pupsfs=sdb1:/puppy_lxpup_12.sfs
b) pupsfs=sdc1:/puppy_lxpup_12.sfs
(Substitute the correct name for your sfs if need be)

Maybe I'm wrong, but in the options list (-> F3 at boot) I don't remember there are the parameters wuwel or xxx .
Moreover, I'm not skilled enough to identify if the problem is related to newer kernels, changes in cfg files or timing somewhere.
However, looking to the other thread about this topic (http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=83880) Peterm321 says:
...I looked at the USB drive and noticed both isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg had pmedia=cd on the boot command line, I amended both to pmedia=usbflash and then the sfs file was found and the boot could proceed.
I agree with gcmartin and let me add that in my opinion it's a general topic.
This behavior is the same also with retro lxpup, the last official Puppy... and so on, I tried several version and then it seems not a case.
After a lot of check on various pc along years, I think to be able to say that 4.3.1 has the greatest hw compatibility.
I'm not sure to be able to do it but maybe I could try to edit the cfg files in the iso as suggested by Peterm321.
At beginning I thought it was a problem related to a "strange" hw setup but after a search I found there are some other quite similar behavior.
However, my target was to install Lxpup and I did it with a manual frugal install.
If it can be useful, I could repeat the same attempt of live use of Puppy with some specific version/derivatives... maybe in this way it could be possible to identify at what "point of evolution" it happens .
I also must say that this behavior never happened before to me.
Now I see the post from ETP and I plan to perform also this attempt in a couple of days.
Just to complete the description I must say that the pc I'm working on is a thin client and, as also several other users have seen, it has sometime problem to boot from usb stick and this is the reason to use an external CD drive usb connected

I think you will find that this is a hardware/kernel issue related to timing as suggested earlier. Several distros like FatDog have a wait boot parameter to allow the kernel time to discover attached devices like your usb/cd. One linux kernel param from the linux kernel documentation that may be useful
[KNL] Wait (indefinitely) for root device to show up.
Useful for devices that are detected asynchronously
(e.g. USB and MMC devices).
All of the pmedia and psubdir stuff is useless if linux hasn't discovered the device yet.
Or why not give Fatdog a try? If you do, be sure to read about it's boot options here http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/faqs/boot-options.html
Look for waitdev=.

hello, really nice work, and I am furious because I found a small problem that prevents me from fully enjoying
I tested version Precise and Slacko version, and the problem I meet precise version ONLY.
I think pretty much know where it comes from: ACPI.
I could post elsewhere, but as one of the two versions of the problem does not happen, I thought it would be easier for experts.
So FINALLY the problem on my Compaq Presario 2100, 528 MB of ram, and therefore under precise version only, the computer does not stop completely, as when I reboot my system, it stores well, then a black screen said "restarting system". I then have to press a few seconds to actually turn off the PC.
Else, the fan runs constantly PC.
Here, I apologize for my "googlezed translate" English I'm French.
hello, vraiment un très beau travail, et j'enrage car je rencontre un petit problème qui m'empêche d'en profiter pleinement
J'ai testé la version Precise et la version Slacko, et le problème je le rencontre UNIQUEMENT sur la version precise.
Je pense à peu près savoir d'où cela provient : l'ACPI.
Je pourrais poster ailleurs, mais comme sur une des deux versions le problème ne se produit pas, je me suis dit que cela serait plus facile pour les experts.
Voilà donc ENFIN le problème : sur mon Compaq Presario 2100, 528 Mo de ram, et donc sous la version precise uniquement, le PC ne s'arrête pas totalement, par exemple lorsque je reboote mon système, il sauvegarde bien, puis j'ai l'écran noir indiqué "restarting system". Je suis alors obligé d'appuyer quelques secondes afin de réellement éteindre le PC.
Autre chose, le ventilateur du PC tourne constamment.

Hi evrybody !
I did a lot of tests and here I am to say how their results
pmedia=wuwel or pmedia=xxx
...no boot, same problem about sfs
edit iso and change of isolinux.cfg , pmedia has parameter cd and become usbcd
...no boot, same as before and I'seen that there is and I've seen there isn't syslinux.cfg in iso
copying sfs on a usb stick and boot having also this usb stick inserted
... it starts !
It starts well without add of any delay!
Some more notes:
- initrd takes a little bit more time than "common"puppy derivatives I checked in the past
- I have to say that the use and access at files, programs, etc... it seems quicker than expected (even it's a fat version!)
- moreover I would like to point out that, sometimes, it stops before to start the visualization of desktop and I must type xstart (however, after this it's ok)
However, my feel is that the more time needed at the early stage of boot acts as a "delay" and then allows a better access to usb cd drive.
And now the best : I tried the LxPup with an other external usb cd drive (thanks to a friend!) and... it starts !!!
Then, to sum up, my feel is that the hypotesis fron Volhout was right, maybe, there is "something" about delay in access of external usb cd drive, causing the problem and then, maybe it could be a good thing to add a little delay (fixed or as in FatDog).
I'm not able to say the relationship with the old/new kernel but that it is...
Ok, that's all, I hope that the above tests will become useful and please accept many thanks to everyone for the support

Hi inoxidabile,
copying sfs on a usb stick and boot having also this usb stick inserted
... it starts !
It is good that you have had success but I feel that the jury is still out on the actual cause of the problem with the original USB drive. It could have been a timing , hardware, driver or search algorithm issue. For the benefit of others who may encounter a similar problem can you please clarify the following:
1. When it booted as above with the original external USB drive what drive icons appeared on the desktop?
2. What information did the drive icons each show when you hovered your mouse over them?
3. Did you use the same USB cable with both drives?
4. The makes & models of the original and borrowed USB drive?

Hi ETP,
here I am with the answers, hoping they will be as You wish...
Ok , begin from the beginning... I used LxPup and in order to be able to boot in live mode when I had the original external USB drive I had also to leave inserted an usb stick having the sfs.
There aren't icons for the drives in desktop as usually happen in common officially Puppy (If You prefer I do the same test with, say, FatDog, please tell me).
But I have had a look to their proprerties using Pmount.
-> with the original usb drive:
drive - ATA CF CARD ext2 sda1
optical - PHILIPS CDRW DVD 3210 ISO9660 sr0
usbdrv - SANDISK CRUZERBLADE vfat sdb1
->with the borrowed one
drive - ATA CF CARD ext2 sda1
optical - OPTIARC DVD RW AD7543A ISO9660 sr0
The two usb CD drive are both rescue from scrap and boxed with low cost housing bought on ebay.
The origional one I have an external power supply (from mains) and the borrowed one has two usb cables, one is used for data and the othe for the supply (then, it takes it from the pc).
As You can see the cables are different.
An extra note: just for fun, I tried the LuPu 5.2.8 modified to be XPlike (it's in this forum, same section "Derivatives").
It starst without any trick wit the original USB ext drive and the nice thing is that, at beginninig, after the message of "searching for puppy files", a red message "pausing" appears for a couple of seconds and then all goes on.

Hi inoxidabile,
It is good that you have also now had success with the 5.2.8 based Pup and eliminates a hardware/cabling problem. It points to a timing issue as suggested by the other respondents, an older slower pup suiting your hardware.

Apartment : Small Apartment Interior Color Modern Small Apartment Interior
Quote from Article entitled Small Apartment Interior Color :
Small apartment soon become a regular thing, since people prefer to choose apartment now, I think you need to know how to make better small apartment interior. I already review something about small apartment before, but this time, I will try to show you different thing, it's not about organizing small apartment, I will try to concern on the interior color theme for small apartment. Talking about interior color theme, I don't think it's a brand new topic, but it still interesting. You surely have your own favorite color right, but do you know that each color have different meaning?
Anyway, small apartment already have small space, so, you need to choose the right color interior theme in order to make it attractive and yet visually spacious. First, I will try to show you some small apartment with regular color theme, in this case white interior color theme, see, nothing fancy with the interior, just plain bright and white. As the results, the room seems spacious, and clean, but I don't think white color is attractive, so, I think we need to add something, something with different color. How about black? It will be black and white small apartment interior, it's not too bad, and black and white also become one of preferred trend today.
It's easier to make black and white color combination for small apartment, if you choose different color combination for white; I think it will be difficult. For example, just try to choose white and red color interior, or blue, I'm sure it will be difficult for you to choose spot for red or blue color. Not only concern about wall color paint, you also need to choose the right color for the furniture, for living room, you can simply choose black leather furniture, with white glass table and also couches, I'm sure the results will be perfect.
