Ceri Thomas, the Today editor, has been promoted to BBC News head of programmes in the ongoing shakeup of the division's senior management in the wake of the Savile scandal.
Thomas will be responsible for all BBC News major daily and weekly current affairs output, including Today, Newsnight, Panorama, and news bulletins for Radio 5 Live, the Asian Network and Radio 1's Newsbeat.
Stephen Mitchell, the BBC News deputy director who announced that he was retiring from the corporation on the day the Pollard report into the handling of the Savile crisis was published in December, formerly had responsibility for this output.
Thomas is understood to have secured the job in the face of competition from candidates including former Channel 4 News editor Jim Gray, BBC current affairs commissioning editor Clive Edwards and head of radio current affairs Nicola Meyrick.
He has been Today editor since 2006 and took over as acting BBC News deputy director for a period in the autumn when Mitchell stepped aside during the Savile crisis.
Thomas began his broadcasting career at LBC in 1989, joining the BBC two years later. He is a former Today assistant editor and Radio 5 Live head of news.
He said: "So much of the heart and soul of BBC News lives in this department. It's full of variety and ambition and endeavour. It's where we take risks – calculated editorial risks, but risks all the same – and it's vital that we don't stop taking them."
Helen Boaden, the BBC News director about to move to be director of radio, praised Thomas as one of the most creative thinkers in the division.
"Ceri brings outstanding experience of running one of our highest profile daily current affairs programmes, Today, which he has brilliantly modernised while building new relationships across the BBC," Boaden said.

When i was a kid, my older brother offered me some cream of wheat. I thought it odd since i had no idea We even had cream of wheat in the house but i ate it anyway. As i took a big spoonful he immediately turned beet red and began laughing hysterically. Turns out he had chewed up a piece of Angel food cake and spit it out in a bowl.

As far as blogs go, you heard it here first (or nearly first), but it's a bigger story than my little blog. Michelle Malkin has the round-up. My only hope is that the MSM will part the curtain long enough to allow the American people to realize just how big this scandal really is.
Danny Lemieux
Ho-hum, ho-um…same old, same old! Welcome to Chicago, America. It's a one-party state.
You can expect the OAK media to maintain a discreet silence regarding the AG firing.
This could get interesting as well. Especially if Ron Paul's proposal to audit the Fed passes. So far, it appears to have strong support from both parties.
These corruptocrats should all be executed. And it doesn't particularly matter to me how.
I asked my brother, who lives in Sacto, about this — he's being cautious about this story. I think I'll join him, lest we jump on a bandwagon that's heading for the ditch. Keep your powder dry — he sent me a link to a Fox News report that starts out like this:
I'm not finding much in the way of commentary from sources I trust. I will tell you that the local lefties are rabid Kevin Johnson haters. Among his great sins, in their eyes, he has invested a lot of money in the local real estate market and has been accused of "gentrifying" South Sacramento, thereby making it more expensive to live there. He also organized and financed the campaign to turn a failing, South-Sac public high school into a charter school (with non-union teachers) and then went on to unseat the hard-left mayor who fought him tooth and nail over the charter school issue, in the last election.
So, blowing the whistle is like whistling in the wind.
Make sure you send the bill for the cost of the bullets to the family, too.
More "stuff". As he says – check it out before it disappears…because it _will_ disappear. Probably Monday when they get back to work…

Despite being two games in one, Three Card Poker is one of the simplest casino poker games you can play.
Flash Game Instructions: Choose a chip amount from the bottom right and place your bets in the ante and/or pair-up circles. Follow the on-screen prompts to play or fold.
Three Card Poker uses the name "poker" because it uses the standard poker hand ranking order with just one exception.
Because of the difference in odds from five cards to three, the order for straights and flushes are reversed. This means a straight is MORE valuable than a flush in Three Card Poker.
Other than this there are no changes to the hand rankings, except for the elimination of any hands that require more than three cards. When you take your seat at the Three Card Poker table you can play PairPlus, Ante and Play, or both.
Possibly the easiest of any table game you can play, PairPlus requires absolutely no decision making on your end.
- You place your bet (the bet must be between the table minimum and maximum bet amounts).
- Receive your cards.
- Get paid (or not).
The payout scale for PairPlus is as follows:
Straight Flush - 40:1
Three of a Kind - 30:1
Straight - 6:1
Flush - 4:1
Pair - 1:1
Ante and Play
If you'd like to have a little more control over what happens at the table, you can choose to play Ante and Play. If you wish you may play both Ante and Play and PairPlus, or you can choose to play just one or the other.
Here's a look at the basic game play.
- Place your ante
- Receive your cards
- Choose to fold (losing all bets) or raise (matching the ante)
- Get paid
If you fold, you will lose your ante and your PairPlus bet. This might seem like an issue, but if your PairPlus bet pays, you will have no reason to fold.
If you raise (by matching the size of the ante), then you must compare your hand to the dealers to see if you get paid.
The dealer must hold a queen-high or better to qualify.
- If the dealer does not qualify the player receives 1:1 on his ante and is returned his raise bet.
- If the dealer qualifies and the player wins, the player receives 1:1 on both the ante and raise bet.
- If the dealer qualifies and the player loses, the player loses both bets.
- If the dealer qualifies and ties the player, the player pushes: both bets returned.
In addition to the player versus dealer payout, players playing Ante and Play receive bonus payouts (regardless of the dealer's hand) for strong hands:
Straight Flush - 5:1
Three of a Kind - 4:1
Straight - 1:1

This year's winner of the Pritzker architecture prize, Peter Zumthor [2], has a rare ability to convey in words the spirit of buildings.
Even rarer, this spiritual disposition accompanies a carpenter's pragmatic sense of materials. (His father was a cabinet maker.)
A short slide show from the Washington Post [3] evokes the eerie, otherworldly feel of his work, work which nonetheless manages to establish a strong sense of permanent emplacement on the earth. There's also a photo of the architect, looking appropriately monkish.
To me, buildings can have a beautiful silence that I associate with attributes such as composure, self-evidence, durability, presence, and integrity, and with warmth and sensuousness as well; a building that is being itself, being a building, not representing anything, just being.
This is altogether different from the tumbly edgy self-conscious postmodernity of Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Peter Eisenman; it's got some alliance with Heideggerian notions of rootedness in time and space.... though when you look at the work, it's not nostalgic in the way, say, Leon Krier can be. Instead, Zumthor seems able in some of his buildings to retrieve and revive basic forms and feelings.
Living in Key West for my sabbatical year, I'm most strongly taken with what Zumthor says about light:
Materials react with one another and have their radiance, so that the material composition gives rise to something unique. ... Thinking about daylight and artificial light I have to admit that daylight, the light on things, is so moving to me that I feel almost a spiritual quality. When the sun comes up in the morning - which I always find so marvellous, absolutely fantastic the way it comes back every morning - and casts its light on things, it doesn't feel as if it quite belongs in this world. I don't understand light. It gives me the feeling there's something beyond me, something beyond all understanding. And I am very glad, very grateful that there is such a thing.
The modesty of this admitted lack of understanding, and the conviction that there's much beyond him, expresses itself in work that transcends the maker's ego and makes itself everyone's possession. Zumthor makes a similar point here:
The idea of things that have nothing to do with me as an architect taking their place in a building, their rightful place - it's a thought that gives me an insight into the future of my buildings: a future that happens without me. That does me a lot of good.

Are You Pitting "I" Against "I"?
War is a vastly expanded version of "I" against "I." Bigotry and prejudice depend upon the same conflict on a social level. Hatred in the name of God is actually disguised ego: Your God is unacceptable because he doesn't agree with mine.
You do not have to participate in this clash of "I" against "I." As your true self you feel contained in others; therefore you have no stake in protecting your own point of view. With that realization the source of conflict is healed.
Adapted from The Deeper Wound, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2001).

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (release) – Tennessee took a 3-1 lead into the ninth against No. 17 Ole Miss but the Rebels rallied for three runs to hand the Volunteers a heartbreaking 4-3 defeat on Sunday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
"This game can be very cruel, and it's pretty cruel to us right now," UT head coach Dave Serrano said. "I'm not so sure that we're [not] making it harder on ourselves, which is evident by the things that we've been doing. We hit ebbs-and-flows as a team and we create negative things on our own and it's unfortunate because it really hurts. I know they're hurting right now, the staff is hurting right now, but no one is going to feel sorry for us. We have to find a way to get out of this and be more successful and that's the bottom line.
"In these kinds of situations there are really no words that are going to make [the players] feel better. I mean, there's nothing you can say. What I did tell them is that Tuesday we get another opportunity to get better as a team and that hopefully this adversity can make us a stronger team. I don't think you need to be a baseball genius to realize where we're falling short in being successful. Yesterday was execution offensively, today it was defense.
"We're just finding ways, and I'm not proud to say this at all, we're finding ways to not be successful. Whether it's us putting too much pressure on ourselves to win instead of just sticking to the fundamentals. I'm ashamed to say that we're not a very fundamental team right now and that's hard for me to say. We're not. We could say youth, we could say inexperience, but we're not doing the things you have to do to be successful."
Everything looked to be going Tennessee's way on a beautiful Sunday afternoon as a blast by Christin Stewart off the scoreboard in the eighth gave the Vols an insurance run with senior ace Zack Godley heading back out to the mound looking for his second win over a ranked team in as many weeks.
A key throwing error on a sac bunt attempt after the first two batters reached proved costly however, as a run scored on that play and an RBI groundout followed to tie the game.
The Rebels then grabbed the lead on a single to right by Will Allen and Brett Huber was able to retire UT in order in the bottom of the ninth to record his 10th save of the year – second in two days – and finish off the come-from-behind win for Ole Miss.
Godley (3-5) did finish with his third complete game of the season but suffered the loss after allowing four runs – just one earned – on six hits while striking out seven and walking two in nine innings of work. Tanner Bailey (3-1) picked up the win out of the Ole Miss bullpen.
Stewart and Taylor Smart each had two-hit games for the Big Orange with Stewart driving in a pair of runs and hitting his second career home run. Ethan Bennett added a pinch-hit RBI double and threw a runner out trying to steal second from behind the plate.
With Ole Miss leading, 1-0, Will Maddox got the ball rolling for the Orange and White with a one-out double in the bottom of the sixth inning. After a single by A.J. Simcox, Stewart evened the score with a sacrifice fly to center.
The Vols then took the lead in the seventh when Bennett came on as a pinch hitter after a single by Smart and promptly roped a double down the left-field line to score Smart all the way from first. Stewart then hit a blast off the scoreboard to put UT up by a 3-1 count going into the ninth.
With the loss, the Volunteers drop to 17-21 overall and 5-13 in Southeastern Conference action. Ole Miss improves to 29-12 on the year and 10-8 in league play.
Tennessee will return to the diamond on Tuesday when it travels to Murfreesboro to take on MTSU at 7 p.m. ET.

The lights are on
Beyond: Two Souls, the upcoming game from Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream, made an appearance at the Tribeca Film Festival this weekend (a first for a platform-exclusive video game), and along with a new trailer, a large portion of gameplay has appeared online.
Below you will find 35 minutes of straight gameplay from Beyond: Two Souls. You'll see the digital version of Ellen Page cry, talk on the phone, and play guitar on the street with gloves on.
Quantic Dream recently sent us a blank copy of the game's script so that we could see just how long it is.
Email the author Kyle Hilliard, or follow on Twitter, Google+, Facebook, and Game Informer.
Loving it.
Looks amazing! To dark for me, but still amazing stuff.
this is truly spectacular material. mindblowing stuff. very intense!
It would be glorious if Tommy Wiseau was somehow one of the main characters in this game. I'm probably the only one that would buy it in that case, though.
The game is looking beyond my expectations. Graphically amazing and so emotional. Quantic Dream have my full support for making these kind of games and for daring to go where others are afraid to or simply don't have the talent. This is a day one buy for me.
omg this game is awsome the last of us and beyond:two souls they are gonna be really good I can't wait for this one they are doing a great game is like a movie
I'm really tempted to watch this but Cage makes some of my favorite games and I'd rather just wait until I'm playing it myself.
Bum fights; burning buildings; birth giving; what doesn't this game have...
Looks interesting... Honestly, though, I never quite got these sorts of games - if I want nothing but story, I'll read a book; having to visualize a character in my head tends to invest me in the character more than pushing a few buttons, anyway.
Regardless, I'll give it a try if I have the chance.
Loved every second of it :)
Looks amazing!
I really love what they have done with this game. They have added some much more to the gameplay the what they had in Heavy Rain. The story seems intresting also. I so cant wait to play this game :)

I have a good pc but the lag on this was very annoying. It mostly only occurs at the start/finish of levels and when you pick up powerups.
Still one of the best metroidvania flash games ever.
Thanks :) Yeah this one is a bit laggy because I tried to do everything on a strict minute timer. I should have just let the lag slow things down instead of trying to be clever about it. Oh well, live and learn :) Thanks for playing :)
It is classical nice game but with the lag I can´t pass level 4
This is not a game, this is an ART PIECE!
Why the fuck did you make a level such as 18? It f*cking lags my computer even on the "Go easy on my cpu" mode, it's getting on my nerves -_-
Nonetheless nice game.
Nice. I adore there Kolm games so more! I played eveything *3*. But I can't get past level 18 ;-; (well i only tried twice yet but.. The other ones I beat in 2 times..) So now im sad xD

Sheila Edmunds is somebody who knows all about FA Cup finals and the magic of the cup in a Belles shirt - and she hopes history can repeat itself.
For the six-time FA Women's Cup winning Belles were a dominant force in this particular competition back in the 1980s and 90s.
Belles' founding member Edmunds, the club's current president, played a major part in their success and knows all too well about the beauty of such a prestigious trophy.
"The FA Cup is still very special to me," she said.
"Nothing compares to winning a cup final.
"They are one-off games where anything can happen and I have been privileged to win six."
This Sunday sees Belles kick-off the new season under the guidance of head coach Gordon Staniforth, who replaced John Buckley at the helm late last year.
And cup-winning stalwart Sheila firmly believes the 2014 side have what it takes to go on a strong cup run - starting with a tough third round test at Aston Villa on Sunday.
"I'm sure the girls will be hungry to win," she said.
"Training is going very well and the girls have responded well to Gordon [Staniforth] and Julie [Chipchase - club director].
"History won't win us football matches but I hope it will contribute to motivating the team and help them feel proud to put on a Belles shirt."
Staniforth echoes Sheila's thoughts and has also added her husband Paul Edmunds - Belles' most successful manager - to his coaching staff to take over scouting duties.
"Paul is doing this job voluntarily and I couldn't think of a better person to do so, he's fantastic to have here.
"He's also been there with the Belles historically and has a lot of qualities that we want at this club.
"He's been out to scout Aston Villa LFC and his reports back will be invaluable in our preparations.
"I don't like to leave anything to chance, I want to be as prepared as we can be.
"We'll be getting together as a team this week to go through our preparations."
Staniforth was on hand to watch Belles' Development Squad hold Liverpool Reserves to a 0-0 draw on Sunday (see page 104) and has stated that everyone in the squad has a chance of making the trip to the Midlands - with right-sided player Molly Johnson likely to be in contention.
"She has got every chance of being part of the squad and getting her place on the bench," Staniforth said.
"I want to say to all of the youngsters that they have a chance. That's how we need to be, competition for places can only be good for a side."
Talented youngster Ashleigh Mills has been ruled out of the clash following a stress fracture picked up during England training.

Okay, you've taken control of everything from a go-kart to motorcycle on the Game Boy Color. So why not one of those powerful fighter jets? Next year, Pipe Dream Interactive puts you in control of an F-18 and all the responsibilities thereof in F-18 Thunder Strike. Well, not really, but that sounded pretty cool, no?
- Mission-based gameplay
- Air-to-Air missiles
- 20 mm cannons
- Only for Game Boy Color
"The US Air Force has confirmed reports of renewed hostile activity in the vicinity of the Balkans, compelling the Secretary of Defence to initiate immediate retaliatory action." So the story goes in F-18 Thunder Strike.
Okay, so the Game Boy Color isn't really known for its simulations ¿ and Pipe Dream seems to know this. F-18 Thunder Strike is an arcade-style game where you must out-fly and out-gun the enemy fighters, clearing the sky of hostiles. You'll also need to keep your eyes on the working instruments, since fuel consumption is entirely important. Make sure you know how to guide your plane in, since you'll have to refuel in the air as well as land that beast-with-wings on a moving carrier. Hey, it may be an action game, but simulation elements will definitely come into play.
Morning Star Multimedia is creating the game based on the Hasbro/Microprose license, and plans to have the game ready to go by the first month of next year. January 2000, here we come.

I love the layout of the theme 'Columnist' but there's one very annoying problem with it. If I try to use a word that is at all long - say 10 characters - it splits the word up in the worst possible way. For instance, I just tried to call a blog post 'Tom Jones, Ripsnorting Read' but it came out as
Tom Jones, Ripsnortin
g Read'
Which looks horribly ugly. This problem would be easily fixed just by reducing the font size on the headers by a couple of points, or giving us bloggers a choice of header font sizes to accommodate long words. As it is, I'll either have to change theme or avoid using any long words in my titles, which is ridiculous.
The blog I need help with is trewisms.wordpress.com.

Coconut-Pumpkin Soup
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: One thing that I really enjoyed druing the winter has been a hearty bowl of soup. Add a bowl of salad and some crackers and you have a wholesome, satisfying meal. I made this soup with some leftover pumpkin I had and it turned out beautifully. It was just a matter of rummaging through the pantry and blending flavours that were familiar to me. In fact, I think if you drop some fresh shrimp into this broth it would almost taste like a South Indian curry. —Flotch
Serves 2 as a meal, 4 as a starter
- 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 2 sprigs of curry leaves
- olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped finely
- 1 teaspoon garlic, chopped finely
- 1 tablespoon ginger, chopped finely
- 1/2 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin, mashed
- 1 can low-fat coconut milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh coriander leaves for garnishing
- Heat up about a tablespoon of oil. Put in the mustard seeds and curry leaves and wait until the seeds to to crackle.
- Then add the onion, garlic and ginger. Saute until the onions caramelise slightly. Then add the turmeric and cayenne pepper powders and continue to cook for another minute or two.
- Add the pumpkin and cook on a gentle heat for about five minutes. Now add the coconut milk and stir gently until the pumpkin is well combined with it. Simmer gently for about ten minutes.
- Add seasonings and taste. Adjust accordingly. Serve garnished with some fresh coriander leaves along with crackers or toasted whole wheat bread.

We love candy at my house. OK, I love candy. My son likes it, and my hubby will eat a couple pieces if he's in a sugar mood and there's nothing else available. My mom hardly touches it unless it's of the dark-chocolate See's variety.
In spite of my affinity for the sweet stuff, I've always found trick-or-treating to be a little weird. Knock on the doors of strangers and expect them to give you candy for nothing in return. Odd tradition, isn't it?
Not to mention the POUNDS of leftover candy that sit forgotten on a high shelf in the kitchen after Halloween is over, only to be discovered years later in a hardened, white-spotted, inedible state. Gross.
So this year I'm looking for alternatives to the gluttony candy-gathering. Here are a few I've found that support great causes and will give my son a chance to make a contribution in his community. If you know of others please add them in the comments.
1. Trick or Treat for UNICEF: This is the 60th anniversary year of this program to raise money to "help save children's lives in over 150 countries and territories through immunization, education, health care, nutrition, clean water and sanitation." You can pick up an orange donation box at any Toys R Us or Babies R Us store. Then simply carry it with you and request spare change instead of candy as you go door to door.
2. Sight Night for OneSight: Each year, OneSight collects "gently used prescription eyewear and non-prescription sunglasses to recycle and hand-deliver in our Global Clinics in developing countries." The organization suggests you make your requests for glasses in advance of Halloween night, or pass out the information to your neighbors that night & request they turn in their glasses to you in time for drop-off by November 5. You can drop glasses off at many local eyewear centers.
3. Halloween candy buy-back: If you do decide to collect candy and end up with more than you can possibly eat, you can take it to a participating local dental office where they will buy the candy for $1 per pound. The candy is then delivered to Operation Gratitude, an organization that supports troops in harms way. Read about what our soldiers do with all that candy!

text: Happy New Year! >Dear Sir or Madam, Neither, I'd say. How about "at times not very dear Semiautist Smurf"? >Please find enclosed my memory results. I notice that they are very structured, which if the front was totally off-line they could not be. Also the words look better than what I write at times, where after some concussion words have a tendency to (not) pop up or scramble and in the start even swapping positions or taking in letters of other words, though after some months of training I got it better and the rest seems slower to get rid off, though I do not bother that much any more, as the current error rate is not that bad compared to what it was like in the start. If I am just myself I cannot do structured talk, for that I need the langauge structurer, and I have the I.Q of about a rabbit if the front goes off-line, where also detail memory is. But I have a base system and there seems some internal relation there, that I deleted knowledge about in myself because I was pissed off about someone and basically to him I implied that there might be no others who have it and that then he might never get it. But there are others with what is called MBD (minimal brain damage) or MCD who are taking blocker drugs like LSD is also, and maybe with good luck if you find one with autistic tendencies who does so, you might get data from him about that. Those called autist who are MBD are often docking off because they do not have the capacities to process too much external data coming from other stations in the brain to their systems. If it is too much in order to comply with demands of humans around they possibly arae running the seqeuncer off-line, which is a bunch of areas supervising motoric programs, so that then all must be in the same place for them, so that the sequencer, who is working a lot on sort of automatic programs, can steer the systems alone. I tend to shunt out motorics and optics. The more the person is used to shunt out the data of other areas of the brain and at need to signal jump, sort of blending in certain inputs and steering for them with the few tracks they have left, and then shut down uptake nd shift to others, the more likely I find it that if they are taking a drug like LSD that they are gaining so much internal steering power, that possibly if they are interested they might be able to observe well stuff inside that many others cannot. Probably this is not good advice, as you might forget anyway, but if you are very lucky you might find one of them who is a sublimbic segregator. There are very few I met, and some of those have data that might help you. Already at limbic shortcircuiting the colour for me went to sort of greyish. When first emotion generator, which is sort of my amygdaloid my neighbour in the brain, was shunted out, as far as I recall it was still that sort of grey. I can not tell you with Westie words what that means, but it is what I thought when I read what you said. Annoying I deleted most according data, as there was sometimes for seconds a stage where I can speak but do not have memory access, that, if I still could recall the other stuff better and combine the two in some odd form, is the closest internal "matching" I get to what you say. (Thingie is I wanted to annoy some neuroshrink, and I also knew that that is to do with access memory and other data in the brain. And that neurology is doing energy vampiring in the I areas of persons of other mammal races and suspected that the data of their murders and cripplings might some day be used for satellite mind control, so I thought that if I delete whtaa I know, then there is one left who can see to that in my lifetime they get very far in subatomically scanning from satellites through my ceiling and hammering even more artificial ranges through my systems than now and better tuned than the cancer shit they have now. I figured even if they try it, without certain keys they might not get very far further than me on sense enhancers magically being scanning energies of another student of magic 's brain. I did not have all the "keys" but of those I wanted gone those were the ones I wanted most desperately to get rid of and stopped calling data up aabout. Do not have your memory defects but more MBDish ones, and then a sort of restructuring concussion on top and then LSD and other drugs also deleting stuff, and I saw to not calling up detail data about that and I seriously lost nearly all I once knew about that and a load of other stuff that seems no problem to do with you though, but was to do with other memory system stuff that seems O.K. with you. I do not exclude tht ther ight be MBD LSD brainsurfers who can subsegregate far enough to know a little, though that would not remove the problem as such. Might give cholinergic limbic and connection insights, though.) >It has only been found in the last year and a half that I have got a >memory problem, but I have suspected if for most of my life. <--- contradiction ---> >- I have very little memory of most of my life, I can't remember my > childhood, adolescence,my 20's etc. >- I am not on medication. And consider well that if you stick some stuff in sometimes own stuff is altered / downregulated in RE. >- The memory problems apply to both emotional and non-emotional >events. (Lack understanding about the main emotiongenerators and storing, but I know that certain accessing is so tricky that I know only few people who in aware form did some of it, and if you had you might discern between different emotion generating areas in the brain, which you do not. Might be pretty irrelevant anyway. My first guess would be that maybe someone asked you this and that is why you mention it?) >- One of the places doing the memory test said that it could be due to > attentional deficits. And what do you believe concerning that? >Day to day living; If it is any solace to you I still feel upset about what some people did when I was a child or older, maybe ata least you do not have to deal with as much of that. And maybe are also less sad then when people die, because you'd forget fast, which can have advantages. ;-) >- I can't remember anything about my family members, my father died >when I was 18, my sister when I was 30, but I have no memory of either That IS odd. With me I tend to forget the years that people died and a lot about when was what, but that as such it was there I know, and - though often rather pictureless as for me the world around is usually not perceived or more like some distant haze - I tend to still recall stuff about them. You still seem to know that you had a sister. To me that sounds like some data might be there. With my brother I still vaguely recall that I taught him a lot about how to read and he me later how average humans drink which I found to taste less well than my way, and some quarrels we had, and stuff like that. Maybe it would be easier to ask: What do you remeber? Like about your sister? >- I cannot picture things in my mind, Joint the club. :-) I guess for me it would take ages even for real simple stuff and then it might be ways fro perfect when visualized, but still rather hazy. Some MBD folks have had odd stuff around birth. Ways to early or late or trouble at birth. (Not sure about spelling:)Encephalites as a baby. Mother taking damaging drugs in pregnancy. Or some such stuff. >lack of recall applies to all senses. Any difference concerning smell or the taste of a lemon compared to that to that of a strawberry banana? Do you recall your dreams? >- My language is vague and general to make up for the lack of memory. ;-) >- I often go into rooms and forget why I did. Sounds familiar. >- I have no idea if things happened last month, or last year >- I can't remember what I did 10 mins ago,today,yesterday etc The next I have touble with, too... >- I can't seem to make internal maps, ie I have no idea of the local >street names nor orientation. ...but that's to do with room thinking, imaging, bothering to store names (and being bad in that). And orientation does the sequencer for me. If you go to auto-pilot for places where you have been often, can the auto-pilot/sequencer find it? (From what you said I would first have guessed that it can, as it has independent learning and recording and some mior thinking capacities.) >- I seem to be living in a confused fog, where memories are like black >and white, Interesting. Sequencer recording seems not to care for colour, but I tend not to be able to get at it. Within magic perception I noticed that colour perception / transition of people is extremely different. >blurred snapshops appearing out of sequence, and then that >sequence > overwrites the original dating process. Could you write a lot more about that? >- I constantly make lists, have tried association and most memory >enhancing tools, Else I would have suggested to keep trying to ask yourself all few minutes what you did. Like making making a coloured X on a piece of paper on your fride or next to the window or another place and then ask yourself which colour it was, and then later again, and see how long "you can keep" it. Like maybe a green one, and later a yellow and a blue one next to each other.. >but feel that I am treating the effect rather than the cause. Yes. >- I am searching desperately to find the cause of the problem, Guess that make not make sense to you, in odd words. I surface, start to be aware what is outside, but there seems no memory. I maybe comment frustrated (not possible when "I myself" was off-linked in the times before the concussion where I did that sometimes on LSD), say:"Hello brain?" ... (Ways to long time, any second there ways too long, tells me something) ... "Anybody home?" There is a transit. ( X ) Suspicion to do with the hippocampal areas. When it is finsihed I get the data. ---> Where the X is, and maybe something physical. I deleted detail data about such stuff. And even if you found one who gve it if it were physicl it'd still not be away. >and if anything (medically) can be done to help. >- I would like to have a top down objective approach to the problem as >over the years I have had many totally differrent subjective diagnosis. I am the wrong address, am LSD teacher and subjective like hell. And even if you had wanted subjective approaches and had organized Red Dragons and stored them the right way for years till they could be used for such, I am an old coward at times, and am not sure if I really wanted to alter your brain magically and maybe thata of some of your firends suited for such and show you how to aim into their I to compare the data and ask them what they perceive within you compared to the others. I believe in that if I link with other structures subatomically that stuff within me chances and am not overly out for connecting on levels like needed for that to possible error structures, as my brain is weird enough already. >To me the plan would consist of > Structural scans CT - ok > Functional scans EEG - ok > Neuro-transmitter levels Catecholamine Fractational >test ? > Hypnosis ? Learn what the author Carlos Castaneda calls "seeing". Then at least you cn perceive more and later tune parallel to better functioning brains if the owner is going for that and suited for that. (Just some humans seem to be able to gain enough brain akasha perception.) >Looking for help; Sorry, would need old Dragons and several sessions where I like weeks between to recover from the drug, and thta would just be to know if you cn get I-akasha-perception and then tp program your brain so that you can program yourself other brains to link to, and how to aim for I area subdata I could not teach you much about, because for me the other I is not just like some external usage area like occpital akasha, and I like often used other brain akasha to give me more tuning powers and more perception tracks for the room, because that seems not just M BD but quite-a-bitBD in me. For that I do not need to run personal intrusions in the other, and you'd need to find people who re not scared of such with you, and according targetting power. If there is something just a bit off then maybe it can be fixed more, but if there is something very basic fubared, then that might not help either. ... Just thought I mention it. If you ever learn "seeing" aim till the face of the other cannot be seen on deflective ranges anymore and aim for the own and the other's back of the head, and get the main transformer banks to synch, and then make the third eye on white ranges more towards solid and the backs of the head on the transcending ranges. Behind the third eye but more down, and quite a ways deeper within, there is a unit of brainakasha that is sort of rippling then the other is thinking. You need to aim within yourself for the same areas. There are more sophisticated way to get there, but that is the easiest. I can only do it on LSD and not with all brains, and I need enough to transit autist, which is usually about 2/3 more than the amount needed that after about 1 1/2 hours the pupils gate to full size. When taking more than another of such a third, then the front off-lines too much and concentration goes down too much, stuff in the basolateral part of the amygdala is reaching "hights"where if you are not far enough for LSD it is getting extremely dangerous, and hallucinations are hard to keep out. Don't know if you should ever try that, just thought I mention it. If I were you I'd probably take a train to near Real de (?) Quatorze in Mexico and go to Wadly and just out of curiosity stick mescal into me once. (Should you ever try do not do that more often than twice, that stuff seems to make real quick addicted and is a "mad-maker-drug".) The stuff makes a lot different within. But even for the unlikely case it should make something positive different, then do not take it more than twice and then leave many, many months between. That stuff is dangerous, and if andything would be more a way to uppen kick lot of systems to work different including causing perception and recording alterations and see what that is doing, and maybe learn from it. >- If you know of; > any places doing research into memory, Watch that whom you ask is aware that there are different systems. If it is someone who seems to believe that there is just one, do not trust them. >attentional problems, If you attention was totally fubared I doubt that you could write as structured as you do. >or brain research in the UK or EU I am nor sure if you make a mistake by just going for the sense censored areas and are totally leaving out those who are telepathically conatcting each other via hundreds of km of distances and know a lot about energy alterations and contexts and other areas. But that is your choice. If it were me I'd try to get at all hippocampal & connected data that I can and learn enough magic and get the right stuff to link with people and try to link there and then go very passive and try to "mirror" as fr as I can and ask them if they could change between calling up memories and then perceive me myself if they can and my occiptal energies, and that for hours and maybe many sessions and with different people if I could get them to do that. Which is tricky, as even fastest speed I tend to need to sessions before they are far enogh for such a thing and not all seem to be able to be taught enough about brainakasha-linking for such. And then I'd plague psychiatrists for stuff that I suspect to do with the hippocampal areas and maybe also for (???) temporal stuff if I cannot even look at a Dr. Pepper can and turn around and know that I just saw one. Though I do not know about the temporal cortex areas and functions. (There is a telepathic akasha game that I recommeded Cheng to play, where you stare at the halo around a flame for a while. Best at a candle about a meter away at nose height, with you and the other to the side of it and about 1.40m for each other with room still behind both of you. After some minutes you turn to focus your eyes though those of the other but without really paying much attention to his face, take in the surroundings on blurry ranges, too, and project the after image with the halo to where the tip of his nose is and when you both have it then move it very slowly to the middle and hold it there. When you move it perception and recording are doing some stuff there that I find fascinating, though I cannot really get it into words, but I nagged Cheng a long time back then to try that one, as it was something where I thought he should perceive that one as he had a questions that were to do with the processes of how the two brains do that, and "seeing" them he might have understood better, and after understanding some other stuff have left out some errors that he is doing.) ... I'd just want of a substance about six of them, and in a form that one can open the capsule or break the tablet, and then taste the stuff and guess poisoning degrees, and then wait two hours after taking about a quarter of one, and then stick in the rest, and later maybe uppen the dosage quite a bit over what is said but so that it does not seem to damage too much and look for what it seems to be damaging, as with stuff I tried I noticed that long term damages and that can have interesting correlations. And before I'd read the side effects and addiction dangers. With all substances I myself produce I'd also be worried about production changes or receptor-molecule changes due to the external inputs causing unnaturally high levels being "counter-regulated". If taking one it might take between five days and 2-3 months till the stuff is out enough to not have back effects when dumping in other tuff. If doing such too often it might also be pretty bad for filter organs and other organs. But maybe I'd perceive something from that. And if I were into killing other persons of other races, I'd go to a slaughterer and explain the problem and ask if I can have the hippocampal areas and others that I am interested of the brains of different mammals, and then go for uncooked Frankenstein meals where I might even try to chew the stuff as little as I can and sort of gobble it down without having been attacked too much by my saliva, and then watch if that made any difference. When living with cannibals a human brain freshly slaughtered would of course be preferable, but others are so similar to us that I'd figure that if it were just to do with some substance, that maybe it is in there, and then the levels might raise. Heard that some in Asia get high by eating the brains out of a monkey while he is still alive, guess if we are so similar, then the stuff released in death might give some morally totally gross but interesting kicks for the Homo SAPIENS. >If you want any more info Read questions above. >MEMORY TEST RESULTS Don't know those tests. But maybe it does not matter, as I pretty much told you what I wanted to say about what you said, and more might not change that, apart from giving me hippocampal recollection power indications, that might be important, but then again are also not changing the problem. If you should not be able to change it worrying about it might not help either. Some are blind, some have no legs, some are so handicapped they cannot talk and someone told me he saw a child in India who had had the hnds chopped of when younger and had a can in between to make more money begging, probably so that the family could survive better. I sometimes cheer myself that stuff could be ways worse than it is for me. There is something to being able to take two steps at once passing some old granny clinging to the rail, and I might find myself there faster than I want, too. :-) Outside there's fireworks on and off going off, and the human city vibes kept making me restless, and two should ring here soon and we want to be off to some other place to party. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Ciyadrachon

Dont mind the error text, that is next on my list.
What do you guys think?
Ninaran, is that a UI package you are using, or a custom-built one? I'ts pretty awesome!
I believe that is called RothUI pack.
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...hUIDiablo.html is the link the site, comes with all the necessary add-ons and positioned like the image.
Aye, it's Roth UI with Rogue Power Bars, ScrollingCombatText, OmniCC and WeakAuras.
I cannot remember where I got the weak aura strings from but I can provide them, if someone remembers the author please tell me and I will give credit, it is hands down the best weak auras I have used.
Here is one on a training dummy, the energy bar is dynamic, if I cam Combat, it shows insight, is I an Sub, it shows Find Weakness, if I am Mut is shows envenom. Really great!
I found the author of the Weak Aura's. here is their armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...n/Sel/advanced
Big thank you to Him/Her!
Last edited by Byaah; 2013-11-02 at 03:30 AM. Reason: Big thanks to Ninaran below me for the TIL about IMGUR!
Next just click into the field below "Linked BBCode (message boards)" and copy it. Paste that into your reply.

Veni, vidi, vici.
I like MoP now c:
Thank you for the answer.
I'll try to make mine asking the UI forum.
Jump to 1:25 for the actual combat footage.
It's mostly ElvUI and WeakAuras with a couple of toys thrown in. Won't go through all of it, but happy to answer any questions.

The main question on my mind is, will it actually be able to best a star destroyer? or is it just an even match up? Great work on the model!! Looking forward to seeing it in action. Keep up the awesome work!
This mod catapults Empire at War into 2018. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
The main question on my mind is, will it actually be able to best a star destroyer? or is it just an even match up? Great work on the model!! Looking forward to seeing it in action. Keep up the awesome work!
Haven't tested it vs a star destroyer yet, but I think an ISD would win because of its far supperious armerment. Though Tybers ship would probably be able to blast an ISD to pieces with a few shots, still deciding on how powerful I want that special to be. Also note a Keldabe is far cheaper and smaller than an ISD.
And in the mod an ISD is supposed to be very powerful (and costly), something to fear, like it was in the movies.
My only argument towards the Keldabe Battleship would be that while it is cheaper and smaller than an ISD it is still a product of Mandal motors. And we all know that Mando ships tend to be pretty damn tough and have a nasty bite. Just ask the Vong.
Those "things" are looking like giant missiles.
Heh, though I like your way of thinking, completely off ;)
Im thinking some kind of "pulse blast".
No, of course Geroenimo you wouldn't be satisfied with that now would you... ;) well done
Well I actually asked strobe for some pointers with the texture but so far he's not taken a look at it so I decided to call it quits and started rigging it. After that I neglected the texture again and started to code it and now I have it functional ingame and I really should get back to the texture. Then again I should also have done that for the Acclamator, and in my ORAW mod the Harrower II, the Harrower I...and that list goes on lol. So not sure if I'll ever get around to "finishing" it properly, but it's good enough for right now.
is it going to be stronger than the original rom in-game
Weaker I hope...! G is right that a Star Destroyer should be stronger...
Amazing detail and work! Can't wait to see Tyber's new blast ability. :)
very nice job, -G
Giant nipple lasers?
Damned gorgeous, I remember a keldabe being able to best an ISD in vanilla foc easy.
Thank you ;)
And yeah I do agree, that's what I want to change, the leech shields ability has been removed for example, that was just rediculously OP.
yea If the consormptium could be a bit more balanced that woulld be great. Great work btw.
this is art!
Why!? Why the hell didn't Petroglyph (or another game company which makes Star Wars RTS-games) hire you? This unit looks so awesome that it should have been in the main game. It's amazing! Can't say more about it without using superlatives.
the new Keldabe looks awesome, especially the new wing shape.
It got something of an stardestroyer but in it´s own style.
Thats awesome! Though I think that the Keldabe was supposed to be a formidable opponent to an ISD mkII, its your mod so make it how you want to!
This... makes me all chocolatey inside. Now all we need is some pics of the Aggressor. ;D
Not actually sure what I want to do with the Aggressor class, 2 giant cannons are pretty unique but also a bit weird, I might replace it with something different. But as Í said I'm not sure yet.
Do you know, I actually don't think the Aggressor should be changed that much? I reckon it's a tad overbalanced, as with all the consortium stuff, but otherwise I think it's a good ship? It can be really powerful but equally it can be outflanked or counterattacked easily - I defeated one with a Nebulon B once. It provides great scope for tactics, so I really don't mind it as it is :)
If you wsnted an opinion on it...
Very fair point, I'll leave it be. Vengeance is heavily changed btw, that ship now has a completely different role.
Maybe make it a smidge more expensive if you think it's necessary but yeah, awesome :D I agree with changing the Vengeance frigate too :)
I agree, just update the texture and it is still a fantastic ship killer.
Hey Jeroenimo how much of these ship are made by you? or do you have some helping you out, and i like that your making new ships give it a fresh new look. for old ships and new ship look like yea we are going to blow up all of your ships.

Have been working on the Keldabe battleship the last couple of days as you can see, this is what it has so far. Have made a great breakthrough with the special ability I had in mind, specificly for the hero variant, moving Tyber over from an Aggressor to a Keldabe, but don't worry, he wont lose his blast ability, infact after a lot of thinking and coding (animating too, my first time animating something) I've got something way cooler in store than a puny green blast.
I do intent to change the texture a bit here and there, as I'm not completely satisfied with it, but I feel it's enough to show it off. It's already ingame, but showing a screenshot would ruïn the special ability surprise, so a shot from the model viewer will have to do for now.

Hidden behind a rather unattractive wall in Cecil Road in Rosebank, an adjoining suburb to Rondebosch, lies the house where one of South Africa's most revered artists lived, painted, and entertained for close to four decades. In comparison with the rest of the museum, the cramped front lobby feels a bit soulless, but as soon as you step into the colourful main house, you get a sense of the intriguing, eccentric character Stern must have been. The collection of artefacts from her travels through Africa and Europe includes a Congolese Buli stool that often features prominently in her paintings, as well as a mob of scary-looking masks from around the world. The red-carpeted sitting room, with ornate, handcrafted furniture, features a green accent wall studded with portraits. She hosted many a dinner party in the dining room, which now houses her collection of religious paintings and sculptures - she had a fondness for biblical themes. The most personal touch in the museum, however, is the re-creation of Stern's studio, complete with easel, muddied tubes of paint and colour-caked easel.

Automated teller machines (ATMs) are now targets for criminals of all sorts. After all, as the famous saying goes, that's where the money is.
One common way to attack ATMs is via skimmers, devices that steal the data encoded on the magnetic strips of ATM cards. They can take a wide variety of form factors, from the simple to the more elaborate. One example, which we have blogged about earlier, was fake POS devices that are used to skim data from credit and debit cards. This threat, however, is not limited to the United States, as similar schemes have been found in China.
Advanced (and more expensive) models send their captured data to the cybercriminals via existing cellular phone networks. Criminals on a budget can rent skimmers with a 50/50 income split between the owner and the renter. (Some of the links in the above-mentioned paragraphs go to Brian Kreb's blog, as Krebs has frequently discussed the ATM skimmer threat.)
However, ATMs are also under increasing attack by malware. As early as 2004, 70 percent of new ATMs ran on Windows. Diebold estimates that 90 percent of its shipment today uses Windows. This leaves them as potentially vulnerable to malware as any ordinary computer.
The TSPY_SKIMER malware family, including TSPY_SKIMER.A and TSPY_SKIMER.B, serves as a good sample of the malware threats facing ATMs. Both of these were authored by someone who has good knowledge of ATM architecture, considering that these systems are not publicly documented. In addition, these malware need to be manually installed by someone who has direct access to an ATM terminal.
Let's take a look at TSPY_SKIMER.A. The code is specifically injected into specific services that are associated with Diebold ATMs. (Diebold is not alone as a target, however, as other ATM manufacturers have also been targeted by SKIMER variants.) In addition, the cybercriminal can also use the ATM's own keypad and screen to send commands to the malware, including checking for the installed Diebold software version, printing stolen information onto the machine's paper receipts, and even dispensing cash.
The sophistication and intricacy needed to mount these attacks mean that despite the significant financial incentive, these attacks have not yet become all that common. However, users should not be lured into a false sense of security but instead be more informed and guarded to avoid being victimized by these attacks.
Banks, on the other hand, should also take note of this threat, as clients expect them to safeguard their money. An ATM machine infected with a SKIMER variant can tarnish a bank's reputation and trustworthiness so extra security measures should be taken in order to ensure ATMs are malware free.
