IRVING, Texas The clock was nearing midnight on Sunday, Dec. 19, as the Packers sat, dejected and frustrated, in the visitors locker room at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
[img_r]http://www.packers.com/assets/images/imported/GB/photos/article_images/2011/02-february/110204huddle210.jpg[/img_r]They were trying to process yet another last-second, gut-wrenching defeat, their sixth of the season in the first 14 games by four points or less. They had played valiantly with backup quarterback Matt Flynn at the helm for an injured Aaron Rodgers, but they had come up short when Flynn was sacked on fourth down from the New England 15-yard line on the games final play.
They were upset, to say the least. Rodgers or no Rodgers, they felt they should have won the game, and by losing their second straight to fall to 8-6 with two weeks left, they couldnt help but wonder where their playoff prospects stood.
What many players werent aware of in the immediate aftermath, but learned from some of their coaches and from reporters who came into the locker room for the usual post-game interviews, was that the outcomes of two NFC games earlier that day had changed everything.
Despite the heartbreaking loss that ended moments earlier, the Packers were finding out they had a new lease on life. By virtue of the opponents they were playing the final two weeks at Lambeau Field, and the leagues convoluted tiebreaker scenarios for playoff spots, the Packers needed only to beat the New York Giants and Chicago Bears in those last two contests to qualify for the postseason.
For the players, at the same moment that the season appeared lost, it was suddenly far from over.
That was a lot of mixed emotions in there, receiver Jordy Nelson said of that post-game locker room scene. Obviously we lost so we werent too happy. We made enough mistakes to cost us the game.
But we knew we still had a chance, and thats all you want. We controlled our own destiny. We win out, we were in, and our playoffs started that day.
The rest, as they say, is history, as the Packers won those final two games to earn the NFCs No. 6 seed. Then they proceeded to win three playoff games on the road to reach Super Bowl XLV, and theyre just hours away from attempting to win the franchises fourth Lombardi Trophy.
The help they needed
Considering the developments since that night in the northeast nearly seven weeks ago, its worth revisiting just how the scenario fell into place so perfectly for the Packers.
First were those two NFC games from earlier that afternoon, which took place simultaneously and both went Green Bays way in dramatic fashion, finishing less than 15 minutes apart.
Roughly 185 miles to the southwest of the Packers team hotel in Providence, R.I., the Giants were hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in East Rutherford, N.J., in a game critical to the NFC East standings and Wild Card picture. Both teams were 9-4, but because the Packers were playing the Giants the following week with a chance to hand them another defeat, it would be to Green Bays advantage to see New York pick up its fifth loss before coming to Lambeau Field.
Midway through the fourth quarter, that looked like a pipe dream. The Giants scored a touchdown to take a 31-10 lead with 8 minutes, 17 seconds left. But the Eagles behind dynamic quarterback Michael Vick, a successful onside kick, and a 65-yard punt return by the lightning-quick DeSean Jackson on the games final play improbably rallied for 28 points in half a quarter for a 38-31 victory that many have called the NFLs game of the year.
But that wasnt all that afternoon. More than 1,100 miles down the Atlantic Coast from Eagles-Giants was Lions-Buccaneers in Tampa. The host Bucs were 8-5 with a better NFC record than Green Bay at the time, a key tiebreaker in the playoff picture.
In a tight game throughout, Tampa Bay kicked a field goal with 1:39 left for a 20-17 lead. Playing with third-string quarterback Drew Stanton, who had just beaten the Packers the previous week at Ford Field in Detroit, the Lions drove 58 yards to set up former Green Bay kicker Dave Rayner whom current Packers kicker Mason Crosby beat out for the job as a rookie in 2007 for a 28-yard field goal on the final play of regulation.
Then, after winning the overtime coin toss, Stanton marched the Lions 63 yards to another field goal, completing a key 12-yard pass to Calvin Johnson on third-and-8 to get into scoring range. Once again, Rayner unknowingly did his former team a huge favor, hitting from 34 yards out for a 23-20 Detroit win.
Those down-to-the-wire losses that day by the Giants and Buccaneers permanently altered the NFC playoff picture and put the Packers, despite a two-game losing streak, in control.
Ultimately, the Giants won their final game after losing to the Packers to finish 10-6. The Bucs won their last two games to also finish 10-6. That ended up being Green Bays record as well, they best they could have hoped for after the New England defeat, and the Packers shared 8-4 NFC records with New York and Tampa Bay. But the strength-of-victory tiebreaker, one fairly far down the list that compares the records of teams beaten, gave the playoff nod to the Packers amongst the three 10-win teams.
As it turned out, even if the Packers had beaten the Patriots, they still would have needed to win their last two games to fend off the Giants and Bucs. A 10-6 record with a win over New England but a loss to either of the NFC opponents in the final two weeks would have dropped the Packers conference record below their competitors marks. They would have come out on the wrong side of that primary tiebreaker, and strength-of-victory never would have come into play.
So had either of those other two Dec. 19 games gone differently, who knows?
[ul]Seizing their chance[/ul]
In the end, all that mattered was the Packers came back from Massachusetts with two weeks to go, two games to win to extend the season, and as Head Coach Mike McCarthy likes to say, everything in front of them.
To find out that you hold the key to your own destiny, it gave us hope, receiver James Jones said. We still knew we were playing for something, but we knew it was no more mistakes. We knew that our backs were against the wall.
So is that what did it for these Packers, that they were finally pushed to the brink of elimination? Perhaps. Some might argue its no accident that after losing six games by four or fewer points, the Packers sealed three one-score victories over the Bears, Eagles and Bears again with interceptions in the final minute during this current five-game winning streak. With their playoffs starting two weeks earlier than everyone elses, the Packers found a way to win tight games when they absolutely, positively had to have them.
Others might subscribe to fate, the whole team of destiny theme, which could get more traction depending on how Super Bowl XLV against the Pittsburgh Steelers unfolds and concludes.
In all reality, its nothing more complex or mystical than the nature of the NFL, and the ultra-thin difference between winning and losing games a minuscule margin for error that encompasses the close ones the Packers lost throughout the year but have won of late, and those other two crucial contests on Dec. 19.
But something else was probably in play, too, stemming from the trip to New England. The Packers had heard McCarthy publicly call them nobodys underdog prior to taking on quarterback Tom Brady and the then-AFC Super Bowl favorite Patriots on the road with a backup quarterback making his first pro start. A bold proclamation, but everyone bought in.
From the top man on down, the Packers truly believed they were going to win a game no one else in the NFL world gave them a chance to, and they played like it. Had the Packers won, it would have been no fluke, because the only fluke plays in that game actually went New Englands way three potential interceptions of Brady that somehow werent hauled in, a special-teams breakdown that allowed an offensive lineman to rumble 71 yards to set up a touchdown, and a mixup between Flynn and Jones on a pass route that resulted in a 36-yard interception return for a score.
You dont win games on moral victories, but you can take a lot away from them, receiver Greg Jennings said. And what we took from that game was that we have a lot of guys who are going to step up and fight, despite whos up, whos playing, and thats why were here today, because of guys being able to step up and fill voids where key guys went down.
That game, Aaron didnt get to play, but Matt came in and he played phenomenal. We just werent able to pull it out for him. But it was definitely one of those turning points in the season where it was like, we have a lot of guys, a nucleus of guys that can get it done anywhere.
They had no way of knowing it at the time they left the Gillette Stadium locker room to come back to Green Bay in the early-morning hours of Dec. 20. But that effort, combined with the fortunate results elsewhere that day, set the Packers up for this magical run.
If the absence of their leader and trigger man under center wasnt going to slow them down, nothing else would. Players had been stepping in for injured teammates all year and performing, and that was the epitome of it.
Win or else? They thrived. Going on the road for the entire postseason? No sweat. The top three seeds in the NFC? None was any better than the Patriots nor, as they proved, themselves.
When we got the news that all we had to do was win out, then I think something clicked in everybody, the whole team, linebacker Desmond Bishop said. I guess its our animal instinct of fight or flight. Everybody turned it on and we started hitting on all cylinders at the perfect time, and riding that wave of momentum.
I think whenever youre put in that position, most teams it brings out the best in them. In our individual team, with the kind of talent we have, bringing out the best of us kind of got us to the Super Bowl.
All thats left is for it to get them the championship.

IMO.. the course of the season changed the week before.. because the level of play definitely changed between the Detroit loss and the Patriots loss.
We played a complete game vs the Patriots.. something that didn't happen for a number of weeks.

Excellent point. + 1. When Rodgers struggled (and then left with an injury) against the Lions, I don't think the rest of the team thought they could win without him. They really stepped up against the Patriots, though, and that went a long, long way toward building a "team" confidence.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said it's "ridiculous" to think that he cannot be president because of his weight.
The Republican was responding to a query from Barbara Walters, who has tapped him as one of her "most fascinating people" of the year. Christie's weight is a perennial topic, both serious and comic, and he has often said he wishes he weren't so heavy.
ABC News released a clip of the interview, which airs Wednesday night, and in it Walters confesses to being a little sheepish about asking Christie "are you a little overweight?"
"More than a little," Christie responds.
When Walters says there are some people who believe Christie can't be president because of his weight and the impact on his health, the governor says his current job hasn't been affected.
"Well, I've done this job pretty well," Christie said. "I think people watched me for the last number of weeks during Hurricane Sandy doing 18-hour days and getting back up the next day and still being just as effective in the job, so I don't think that will be a problem."
Christie suffered a serious asthma attack last year, which landed him in a hospital emergency room for a few hours and raised questions about his health. He said it was the heat and humidity that sparked the attack, not his weight.
When the subject of heavy presidents comes up, William Howard Taft is often cited. The 27th president weighed more than 300 pounds and needed a special bathtub installed at the White House.

One of the most popular of Long's images, and the one most often repeated, is the group of flamingoes.
Long first painted flamingoes in 1902 when he was seeking a subject in which he could use a burning red against green. He repeated the theme in oil and watercolour at least 30 times, in a variety of arrangements and colours, over the next 40 years.
The sinuous, serpentine necks of these birds with their curved bills, and their ability to bend and bow, provided ideal forms for Long's Art Nouveau approach. Likewise their flamboyance, their rotund bodies mostly perched on one long thin leg, were characteristics well suited to Long's decorative compositions.

Magic Formula Stock Review: McKesson (MCK)
The second division is Technology Solutions (2.9% of revenues but over 26% of profits). The software solutions developed and sold by this division are diverse and cover healthcare related tasks ranging from clinical data management to financial planning and supply chain management. Customers include hospitals, independent physicians and practices, home care providers, and pharmacies.
There are a lot of good qualities to this business, and MagicDiligence believes McKesson is a very good Magic Formula choice, possibly a consideration for a future Top Buy pick. Solid arguments can be made for all three of the primary factors I look for: growth potential, competitive position, and financial health. Let's take a look at each.
First, growth potential. The main driver here will be the Technology Solutions arm, which has generally been growing faster than Distribution and carries significantly higher gross margins (46.4% vs. 3.8%, respectively). The federal government has focused on reducing healthcare costs, and the expanded use of information technology to improve the efficiency of data management will benefit McKesson. Stimulus spending has also been earmarked for this purpose, and management has indicated a strong pipeline that should start converting to bookings next year.
In the Distribution segment, the broad trend towards generic prescription drugs and a massive branded drug patent cliff in the next 3-5 years favor the company. Generic distribution is higher margin than branded drugs, as scale is critical to generics makers and distributors like McKesson are key in driving volume. Demographics in North America are favorable too. As the "baby boom" generation reaches retirement age, increased pharmaceutical sales are inevitable.
Finally, the company's diverse product offering allows it to cross-sell. A hospital or office that utilizes McKesson for drug and supply sourcing can be marketed the firm's software products. Overall, McKesson should be able to increase profits at a low double-digit rate over the next few years.
The firm also has a very strong competitive position. McKesson is one of only 3 major pharmaceutical distributors, the other two being Cardinal Health (CAH) and AmerisourceBergen (ABC). Operating margins are very low in this business (barely over 1%), making economies of scale a major roadblock to new competitors. It is unlikely that the existing oligarchy will be broken any time soon. The Technology business benefits from high switching costs. Once a hospital or practice integrates McKesson's software, it is time consuming and costly to switch to a competitor, unless there are significant reasons to do so. Competitive position is strong and durable.
Financially, the firm is in good condition. Cash on the balance sheet is $3.2 billion, vs. about $2.3 billion in total debt, and only $217 million due in the next year. Drug distribution is a reliable business, largely recession-proof, and with over a billion in annual free cash flow, financial health is fine. Operating margins have been creeping upwards, from 1.2% in 2005 to about 1.7% currently, due to the increasing contribution from software products and services. This trend should continue.
There are some real risks to consider. McKesson's largest customer is Caremark, providing about 14% of sales. Caremark was acquired by retail pharmacy CVS (CVS) in 2007, and CVS utilizes competitor Cardinal Health for distribution. CVS could decide to consolidate Caremark onto Cardinal at any time, which would be a significant event for McKesson. Also, another 12% of sales comes from Rite Aid (RAD), a company in horrible financial shape with real bankruptcy risk. It is not inconceivable that McKesson loses up to 26% of sales if these two worst case scenarios took place over the one-year Magic Formula holding period.
More generally, large drugstore chains and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs - mail order suppliers like ExpressScripts ESRX) have been gaining share from small independent pharmacies for more than a decade. PBMs handle the "last leg" of distribution on their own, and bulk supply to these companies is very low margin, about 0.5%. Large drugstores have the ability to deal directly with drug suppliers and distribute to their own retail locations (although most do not - yet). Long-term, the importance of McKesson and its direct competitors will likely be marginalized.
Still, with an 11.4% earnings yield (11.8% against expected 2011 results), this an attractive stock over the next 12 months. Barring one of the major risks outlined above, and assuming growth of about 8% annually, the stock could be worth close to $100. It is a good choice for a Magic Formula position today.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Ferron City held their fourth annual patriotic program in conjunction with Peach Days. Mayor JoAnn Behling welcomed everyone to the program. "This is the fourth year for this celebration to honor veterans, and to honor pioneers and those lost on September 11. It's a privilege to be the mayor of Ferron and to serve you in this beautiful place we call home. Some have had to leave to find work elsewhere. Things will turn around. We've seen it in the past, these boom and bust cycles. People will be able to come back to Ferron and raise their families here. There is hope for the future. Thanks to all of you who love Ferron and try to make it better. Catch the spirit of Ferron and work to make your homes and yards beautiful. We appreciate all the volunteers we have in Ferron. Thanks to our hometown heroes. Thanks to our Peach Days committee and to the flag committee for putting together this beautiful field of flags."
Mark DeBry sang the National Anthem. The prayer was given by Pres. Bennion. The American Legion posted the colors. Tina, TJ and Tyler Lacock, Zachary Parlo and Sarah Swasey presented, Never, Never, Never, Forget 911. A readers theatre which won a first place finish in competition.
Cameron Larsen sang, "America the Beautiful."
Lou Sansevero read a story called Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs by Tom Burnett adapted from 'On Combat' Â - Grossman/Christensen 5-8-11.
 "Most of the people in our society are sheep. We may be in the most violent times in history but, in America, violence is still remarkable rare. This is because most citizens are kind, decent people who are not capable of hurting each other except by accident or under extreme provocation. They are sheep.
"I mean nothing negative by calling them sheep. To me it is like the pretty, blue robin's egg. Inside it is soft and gooey but someday it will grow into something wonderful. But the egg cannot survive without it's hard blue shell. Police officers, soldiers and warriors are like that shell, and someday the civilization they protect will grow into something wonderful. For now, though, citizens still need warriors to protect them from predators.
"Then there are wolves - and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy. Do you believe there are wolves out there who will feed on the flock without mercy? You better believe it. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it's not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial.
"Then there are sheepdogs. I'm a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf. If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy and productive citizen: a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath: a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? Then you are a sheepdog. You will walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed. You have chosen the Way of the Warrior.
"Let me expand on the model of sheep, wolves and sheepdogs. We know that the sheep live in denial; that is what makes them sheep. They do not want to believe that there is evil in the world. They can accept the fact that fires can happen, which is why they want fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, fire alarms and fire exits throughout their kids' schools, but many of them are outraged at the idea of putting an armed police officer in their kid's school. Our children are thousands of times more likely to be seriously injured by school violence than by school fires, but the sheep's only response to the possibility of violence is denial. The idea of someone coming to kill or harm their children is just too hard to contemplate; so they choose the path of denial.
"The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep. Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. They would prefer he didn't go around armed at all. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white and go "Baaa"; until the wolf shows up. Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind the sheepdog. Sheep have two speeds, 'graze' and 'stampede' and 98 percent of them are prey items for wolves. Sheepdogs are benign creatures, but they have a job. They have no choice but to do it.
"But a sheepdog is a funny critter. He is always sniffing around out on the perimeter, checking the breeze, hunting for things that go 'bump' in the night, and yearning for a righteous battle. That is, the young sheepdogs yearn for a righteous battle. The old sheepdogs are a little older and wiser, but they move to the sound of the guns when needed, right along with the young ones.
"Here is how the sheep and the sheepdog think differently. The sheep pretend the wolf will never come, but the sheepdog lives for that day. After 9/11 most Americans said "Thank God I wasn't on one of those planes". The sheepdogs, the warriors, said "I wish I could have been on one of those planes. Maybe I could have made a difference". Another Tom Burnett was on United flight 93. He made a difference. His last words over the phone were "Let's roll." That plane didn't make it to its target. He was 38 years old and married. He, and many of his fellow passengers, were warriors."
"If I may be so bold as to add a personal thought to this wonderful essay by Tom Burnett, today we are met here to honor that other Tom Burnett, the heroes of flight 93, the 3,000 who perished on September 11, 2001, and all the warriors who serve or have served to protect this flock called America, let us all vow today to become sheep dogs," said Sansevero.
Commissioner Ethan Migliori told the story of how the flag was made that flew over Baltimore the night Francis Scott Key composed the verses that became the National Anthem. "In the history of America there have been great heroes," said Migliori.
Sarah Swasey sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Mayor Behling gave her closing remarks and thanked everyone for coming and thanks to Jerry Thomas for coordinating the field of flags display.
Pastor Tim Lacock gave the closing prayer.

East schedules winter softball camp Dec. 8
Brookfield East has scheduled a Winter Softball Camp for Dec. 8, featuring Randy Schneider, the University of Wisconsin assistant softball coach.
There is a coaching clinic at Brookfield East Fieldhouse from 9-11 a.m., hitting (grades 7-12) from noon-2 p.m. and softball drills (under seventh) from 2:30-4:30 p.m.
Interested parties can get the brochure at Brookfield East or on the Brookfield East Athletics web page by looking up the softball team.
Two Lancer kickers receive All-State mention
Two Brookfield Central soccer players received mention on the 2012 Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association All-state team.
Senior forward Brad Jakober and junior goalkeeper Tyler Moore were Best of the Rest selections as players also receiving votes.
Klotz named Whitewater Player of the Week
New Berlin Eisenhower Cole Klotz is a University Wisconsin-Whitewater football player of the week for his efforts against Stevens Point.
Klotz, an Elm Grove resident, is a junior linebacker, who led Whitewater with 11 total tackles (nine solo) against the Pointers. Klotz was also credited with one tackle for a loss (minus two yards).
Both the solo tackles and total tackles are season highs for Klotz. Klotz helped the Warhawks' defense limit the Pointers to 65 yards rushing on 25 attempts (2.6 average), without a rushing touchdown, and 275 total yards of offense.
Several local athletes play at Wisconsin Lutheran College
Several Brookfield athletes are playing at Wisconsin Lutheran College this fall.

Serve sauces on the side when cooking with a contact grill. Because grilling temperatures are high, sauces and glazes burn easily if used during grilling.
For zesty, make-your-own wrap sandwiches, slice the warm chicken into strips and serve with tortillas, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado and the sauce.
Contact grills are indoor-use grills that cook the food between two grids. Both top and bottom grids are heated, so food is cooked from both sides in much less time than conventional grilling.

Dynamic bpatcher loading/pattrstorage presets
Hello list,
Glad to have joined up having found this an invaluable resource for the last year or so.
Alas the time comes to pose a query as it seems searching will not turn up a solution for my problem…
I am using pattrstorage/autopattr to recall presets that consist of item numbers directed at collection of ubumenu objects. These in turn use scripting to 'replace' the contents of a collection of bpatchers.
I would like my preset to not only restore the configuration of the ubumenus, but also of gui objects within the bpatcher subpatches. This of course can be done by including autopattr objects within the subpatches.
However, I run into trouble as the parent pattrstorage xml file cannot 'know' in advance what gui objects will be present in each subpatch after it is loaded (as exactly which subpatch gets loaded is not predetermined).
Is the best way to workaround this therefore to have secondary pattrstorage objects within the subpatches, whose individual presets are then loaded via the parent pattrstorage? If so how would this be done.
Failing that can anyone suggest an alternative method?
Sorry if this is repeating old ground; if so could someone point me to a relevant thread (as yet I have not unearthed a suitable solution in the archives).
To clarify, attached is a zip folder containing the necessary parent and subpatches to demonstrate the problem.
The patch named 'parent' is the one you'll be needing, and the two subpatches will need to be within Max's searchpath for the preset/ubumenu recall to work.
I'm using max 4.6.3 on Os X 10.4.11.
I think if you use autopattr, you would probably need an additional set of pattrstorage object embedded within the bpatcher-called modules, then have an inlet so that the outer pattrstorage preset number would also be sent into the module to recall the embedded pattrstorage objects' presets at the same time. Sorry to write that so convoluted-like but you probably understand. I haven't really tried looking into pattrhub pattr, etc. to see if there's other ways, nor looked into the "greedy" flag of pattrstorage storage object, itself. You might want to check those out, too.
one more thing, if you're using the "replace" message in scripting to replace what's inside a bpatcher, you would also need to set it up to load in xml files right away upon each replacement because, i may be wrong, but "replace" will probably be destroying the replaced subpatch as well as the memory allocated for it. You might be better off, creating two bpatchers, naming them both, and then sending "hide" to one and "show" to the other(via thispatcher scripting) or else, putting both the subpatches into one bpatcher and simply changing the bpatcher's display offset.

Yes, that's the way to go. The pattrstorage in the subpacther will only
expose itself (dependent on the greedy settings) and hide the other
pattrified objects. If the pattrstorage has the same name for your
different subpatchers, only the preset number will show up in the main
But you want to store also info about which patch you loaded into the
pattrstorage, you'd need to have a seperate pattr to store that in the
main pattrstorage.
I guess you know that a scripted loading of bpatchers containing DSP
objects will interrupt audio and might create dropouts/clicks in bigger
patches (which can be avoided by the use of poly~ objects in Max 5…)
Stefan Tiedje————x——-
–(_|_ —-|—–|—–()——-
— _|_)—-|—–()————–
Firstly thank you for your responses thus far.
The consensus seems to be using nested pattrstorage objects then, whose presets are recalled from the top level patch.
However, one point of Stefan's confuses me:
"But you want to store also info about which patch you loaded into the
I'm assuming you mean bpatcher here and not pattrstorage..
"…, you'd need to have a seperate pattr to store that in the
main pattrstorage."
Do you mean my top level patch should have pattr objects bound to each of the pattrstorage objects in the subpatches? My understanding is the top level pattrstorage sees those below it anyway. Presumably then these pattr objects would act as a mechanism for communicating with the lower level pattrstorii?
I'm keen to keep all the preset information (for the parent and subpatches) contained within a single xml file, alas this scheme clearly won't support that.
As an alternative I am going to try using 'other' objects (perhaps a coll) to recall the state of my ubumenu's, thus loading the 'structure' of the patch (by loading bpatchers containing the required DSP subpatch – clickless loading to come, thanks Stefan), followed by loading an xml file with a single preset into the parent pattrstorage. This will restore the subpatch states via nested autopattr objects.
However, I can't get this to work either, as once the xml file is 'read' into the pattrstorage I cannot recall presets – see attached example. Perhaps a misunderstanding on my part of how to use pattrstorage?
Any help much appreciated.
I was able to get your patch to work simply by giving each autopattr a unique name(i.e.
Modded patch(kept in Max4.6) is attached.
Many thanks Rabid.
This is working for me now too. I don't suppose you can elaborate on why this works though? The documentation doesn't seem to suggest naming autopattr objects is necessary. I am also puzzled by the fact that changing the autopattrs name doesn't alter the behaviour.
A million thank you thank yous.
I'm not sure why this is. If I were to guess, the reference docs talks about how if you don't name it, a semi-random name will be generated like, "u197000004", so i think everytime you do a "replace" in your script, it might be generating a whole new name and then the pattrstorage object is unable to see it as a result of all the new names constantly being generated with each switch. But… that's just my guess.
Glad I could help.

No, your main patcher/pattrstorage needs to know which patch you loaded
into the bpatcher, or it would try to recall a preset, which doesn't
find its objects, because the time you saved it, a different patcher
might have been loaded… You also need to make sure the correct patcher
is loaded before you recall its preset. Don't know if priority would be
enough, as the patcher needs time be loaded.
I would consider a system which would have several pattrstorages and
multiple xml files more robust. You can place all xml's into a folder to
keep it clean…

I guess its a proof… If you look at the stored xml file, all values
are referenced by their object names. If the names change, it can't work…

Hello again,
Alas I couldn't satisfactorily implement Stefan's proposed multiple pattrstorage solution, although I have come round to multile xml files.
Attached is my now working solution for completeness (and anyone else interested), showing the system working with two bpatcher subpatches (thus it is scalable to control any number of bpatchers)
It uses one xml file per patch preset (or as I've now named them song – the idea being my performance patch can now be enhanced to have a per song setup recalled at the touch of a button).
As per Rabid's input, named autopattrs are used in the subpatches. Interestingly they do not need to be uniquely named – it seems having a unique scripting path (each bpatcher has a unique name) allows reuse of the same patch (and hence autopattr name) within multiple bpatchers.
Required enhances at this stage would be:
– Better specification of where the xml files are stored (by default it is saving them in my MaxMSP 4.6 folder)
– Automatic re-writing of the coll so it's contents reflect changes made by the user to the ubumenus.
– Multiple presets per subpatch
For now though I've got the basic mechanism working with the lists help so many thanks. The above points I can all handle myself but incude as suggestions for anyone else who adopts my patch for their needs.
Hi all, I am having the exact same problem and I have tried to follow this feed but still cannot get it to work. I have only been using max for about six months and have no programming history at all. I have placed in a parent patch and two subpatchers to show my problem. If at all possible could someone correct my patch as due to me being a noob I struggle to understand the language of max talk (if I may call it that) thanks in advance.
Here is a more recent attempt I have implemented to solve this problem, having seen this thread resurface.
As per Stefan's original advice, it relies solely on the pattr system (as all good Max patches should…)
The only 'flaw' I can spot offhand is the preset in the child patcher (loaded into the bpatcher) is recalled after some arbitrary length of time (500ms in this case). It would be safer to have the child patcher send a bang out an outlet, then use this to recall the preset (i.e. once you are sure the child patcher has loaded).
Again, as mentioned previously, you should only use dynamic bpatchers to load UI type patches. Couple this with a poly~ to load to corresponding dsp sections.
Zip contains three patches (parent, dials and sliders) and their corresponding json files (for the pattrstorage objects) to demonstrate dynamic switching in action.
Of course, the whole job could be made much easier if one could bind a pattr object to the @name attribute of a bpatcher….
Corrected a bug in my previous post. The 'parent patcher' now correctly stores the selected preset in the the child patcher.
I also implemented a little logic to make the 'child patcher preset recall' only occur once the read has completed in the child pattrstorage.
Seems to be working seamlessly now (though I have not attempted to 'manage' the dialogue popups required to save the various pattrstorage writes that occur when you close the patcher). Hopefully others can adapt this to their needs.
Great thread, thanx!
Hi, I've messed around with the same problem for a number of years, I've just finished working on a modular system using dynamic [poly~] and found a relatively simple way of handling the save problems. the solution is to have the top page contain all off the dynamic [poly~] load GUIs and a [preset] not connected to a [pattrstorage] on this preset you save all your tracks or session [poly~] information. now in a [patcher] you place a [preset] attached to a [pattrstorage] and all of the [poly~] objects for the to level load GUIs. Your work flow using the system is to save the lower level preset as presets to a track, then the top level preset as a number of tracks. Id also name the song preset saves so they contain the preset number of the top level preset its for. obviously this system only allows you to dynamically change [poly~] in-between tracks/sessions (as the relevant lower level presets will need to be loaded).

Just prior to the January Orangeville City Council meeting, a reception was held to honor the outgoing officials. Mayor Thayne Cox, Councilman Pat Jones, and Councilperson Carol Ware were honored with a plaque and potted plant in appreciation for the service they have given to Orangeville City over the past years. Linda Jewkes was also honored for her 30 year service to the Orangeville planning and zoning committee.
Mayor Cox opened the city council meeting and installation of the new officials was completed. The new mayor for Orangeville, Bart Cox was given the oath of office, followed by Councilperson Carole Larsen and Councilman James Davis. Councilman Courtney Cox, who was recently appointed to fill the vacancy left when Councilman Randall Stilson resigned, along with Councilman Kelly Alton and Councilman Jeffery Tuttle were also present.
Following the installation of the new Mayor Bart Cox, the first order of business was an update of the construction of the new fire station. Pat Jones informed the council that the new fire station is expected to be completed around Feb. 15. He said that the expenditures so far have been nearing $600,000, the electrician will be about one more week, and the sheetrock and trim is being installed now. The painters are expected to begin next week. "Everything is coming together within the budget even with a few changes," said Jones.
Jones added, "I appreciate being given the opportunity to serve as I have over the past years. I have enjoyed it even during the ups and downs. Not everyone agrees with everything you will do, but that is just the nature of the beast. Do what you think is right. Many good people have served Orangeville over the years, and it is great to be a part of this community and its development. We are truly blessed.
"I also want to put in a plug for our ordinances. Lots of work has gone into the ordinances over the years and they are in place for the best for everyone. They are for the future and the development of Orangeville. Give everything that comes before you lots of thought, consider everything before you make a decision. If you are unsure of any issue, table it, take time for more consideration and make a decision at a later date. Congratulations on your new appointments and thanks again for everything," Jones concluded.
Councilman Alton recommended the appointment of Jones over construction. This appointment will last until the completion of the fire station. The council approved.
Mayor Bart Cox recommended the reappointment of Cindy Nielson and Ruanne Leeflang to the positions of city treasurer and city recorder, respectively. The reappointments were approved by the council.
A public hearing was opened to consider adjustments for the 2005-2006 municipal building authority budget. Mayor Bart Cox explained the adjustments and hearing no public comments, closed the public hearing.
When back in city council meeting, the council approved to make the adjustments to the MBA budget.
Doug Johnson of the land use authority informed the council of the date change of meetings for the land use authority. They will meet on the first Thursday of each month. This will shorten the time for which issues that are presented to the land use authority wait until being presented to the city council for a decision.
Johnson posed several questions to the council. The first concerned a land swap being considered by the city with a private resident. He asked if this wasn't an issue for the land use authority. The next question dealt with the changes in the penalties for ordinance violations in Orangeville. Due to changes by the State of Utah, the penalty for those violations has been changed from criminal to civil.
The final question posed by Johnson was how the ordinance that covers the cost of lawsuits against the city are handled. He wondered if the legal costs for a person who sues the city and loses are the responsibility of the person who brings the suit.
In a final matter by the land use authority, Johnson stated that several complaints have come into them concerning the price of building permits, especially for manufactured homes. It was noted that with the acceptance of the new codes and building inspections in the county, Orangeville does not set the fees charged, that is handled at the county level. Any complaints that come in will be referred to the commissioners.
Dennis Tuttle announced that attendance for the rabies clinic recently held in Orangeville was quite sparse. He is hoping that more will come out to the next one to be held at the old fire station on Feb. 11.
Carol Ediger, Hans Baantjer and Randy Winn made a presentation to the council concerning the No Excuses proposal by the Utah Education Association.
Mayor Bart Cox made assignments to the council. Councilman Alton is to be over the cemetery, historical committee, and community events. Councilman Tuttle will remain over roads, water and sewer, and city clean-up. Councilman Cox will oversee public safety, animal control and the fire department. Councilperson Larsen will head up the land use authority. Councilman Davis will be in charge of parks, beautification and youth city council.
The council approved to give Councilman Tuttle authority to attend the Cottonwood Creek Irrigation Company meeting and vote the city's shares. Councilman Alton made the recommendation to retain Rue Ware on the events committee due to the excellent job Ware has done in the past with the Memorial Day event. Councilperson Larsen informed the council that work is continuing on the sexually oriented business ordinance for Orangeville. Councilman Cox noted that Dennis Tuttle and himself will be attending the animal control officers conference.
Mayor Bart Cox announced that Orangeville is investigating the retaining of a new city attorney. Several suggestions were made to acquire an attorney with a municipal specialty.
"I am very happy to be here. I am excited to get going and I appreciate the opportunity to serve Orangeville. I have served, for 16 years, on past city councils. Again, thank you and I am glad to be here," said Mayor Bart Cox.
The next Orangeville City Council meeting will be Feb. 9 at 7 p.m.

IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart 26 February 2017 Issued at 6:00 am EDT Monday on 27 February 2017 Widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms are visible on the coast between Port Stephens (NSW) and Fraser Island (QLD). A low pressure trough just offshore combining with a slow moving upper trough is generating this weather. Patchy cloud and showers are evident further north along the Queensland coast due to onshore winds. Humid and unsettled conditions persist over the north of the country with thunderstorms currently active about the Joseph Bonapart Gulf and eastern Pilbara. Low pressure troughs through Queensland and inland from the west coast of Western Australia are resulting in patchy cloud some of which is the remnants from yesterday's thunderstorm activity. The subtropical ridge is keeping most of southern and central Australia clear. An upper trough is producing cloud to the south of Western Australia with cold fronts tracking further south across the Southern Ocean in a westerly airstream.

Kansas City Royals 2010 Positional Review: Center Field
This is the latest post in this series reviewing the Kansas City Royals offensively, position by position. You can go back and read the posts on catcher (including a series preview), first base, second base, third base, shortstop and left field.
Let's take a look at the how the players who got the bulk of the time at center field hit when they manned that position.
There clearly was a lot of shuffling around in center this year. No single player got even half of the games at the position. Mitch Maier was as close to a "regular" at the position as there was in 2010. Gregor Blanco was acquired via trade, Rick Ankiel was injured and then traded and Jarrod Dyson was a late season call up. One of the things that jump out at me is the fact that Rick Ankiel only played center for 24 games in 2010. I complained so much about him, that it sure seemed like he was out there more than he was. Ankiel, was a somewhat effective hitter in center field though. His 117 sOPS+ is due mostly to a decent slugging percentage, but still if you can get that out of a center fielder regularly, I'd think you'd take it. Mitch Maier and Gregor Blanco seem to be guys destined as filler, players who manned the position when there weren't any other options. They didn't embarrass themselves or the club, but they weren't something special.Defensively, and just judging by what I've seen, I think Jarrod Dyson has the most upside, Maier was the best in 2010 and he was followed by Blanco and Ankiel.
Let's see how the unit stacked up against the rest of the American League.
This isn't a particularly surprising chart. The Royals clearly were a sub-par offensive team in center field. Whether you prefer judging by wOBA or OPS, the rank can move up or down by a couple of slots, but it's still nothing to get excited about. One category which the Royals center fielders seemed to excel was in walk rate. Their 9.1% rate was third in the American League (hey, it's something).
2011 will be a very interesting year for the center field position. I imagine there will be a pretty steady rotation throughout the season with Jarrod Dyson possibly getting the bulk of the time if he can show a decent bat when he does get a chance. I'm not convinced that the long-term answer to the position will be on the roster in 2011, but Derrick Robinson, who could be a September call-up has the best chance.

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
Catherine Whitlock has learned a thing or two about cooking in her 85 years. And she's still willing to learn even more.
"I take advice from anybody," said Whitlock of Nettleton. "A lot of cooks don't want to hear improvements, but I'm open for suggestions. I don't make anything that can't be improved on."
Whitlock, a native of the Union community in Lee County, worked at the Bank of Nettleton, now BancorpSouth, for 44 years. One of her fondest memories of her time there involves a coconut cake.
"There was a lady in the county who used to make a coconut cake for the bank president every year and we all got to look at it," she said. "It was the prettiest thing. After the lady died and before her daughter died, we got the recipe and that's the one I still make today. And that was at least 30 years ago."
In fact, Whitlock is known in her community for her four-layer coconut cakes.
"I start making them at Thanksgiving and I make them until Christmas," she said. 'I couldn't begin to count how many I make. I hardly ever make them to sell to people. I like to make them to give to my friends."
Whitlock and her husband, John Travis, were married for 62 years before he died in 2010. They have two children, five grandchildren, 10 great-grands and one great-great-grandchild.
"When I first married, I didn't cook," she said. "I never cooked at home because Mother did it all. My husband and I lived on sandwiches for about the first two years we were married. Then I started reading cookbooks and learning."
Two things Whitlock has learned along the way she likes to share with others who enjoy cooking. She believes they are improvements over the way she did things when she first started out.
"One is I never make a cake from a cake mix without separating the eggs and beating the egg whites and folding them back into the batter at the last minute," she said.
"The second thing is when I make a pie, I take the egg shells and turn them upside down on my pie crust. There will still be a little sticky in the egg shell and it will drip onto the dough. I take the shells off and spread that sticky over the bottom and up the sides of the dough. Then I pre-bake the crusts and when the wet look is gone, I know the crust is ready to take out and put the filling in it."

Skip to comments.Police: Man killed with his own gun during robbery
Posted on 06/30/2009 12:23:38 AM PDT by South40
MIRA LOMA - A 24-year-old Costa Mesa man was shot to death when he tried to break into a home Sunday, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.
The man has not been publicly identified, pending notification of next of kin.
A woman suspected of helping the man break into a home in the 3100 block of Chardoney Way in Mira Loma Sunday morning was arrested last night.
The man and woman had attempted a home invasion robbery at the house, and during a struggle with one of the residents, the man dropped his gun, authorities said.
A resident picked up the gun and shot the robber to death, authorities said.
(Excerpt) Read more at ocregister.com ...
let that be a lesson to crooks everywhere, if you break into a home with a gun the homeowner may take it from you and shoot you.
This is "level 1" morality exhorting "level 0" morality to see the error of its ways. If only it would.
Jules: "Now Yolanda, we're not gonna do anything stupid, are we? . . . Yolanda, I thought you said you were gonna be cool. Now when you yell at me, it makes me nervous. And when I get nervous, I get scared."
I thought that it was kinda nice of him to bring a gun so that they could shoot him.
Fantastic. Should have shot the accomplice as well. California cops treat burglary like it's nothing. It's a violent crime that psychopaths use to finance their degenerate lives, and it often leads to identity theft, rape, armed robbery, and murder. Burglars should be given 20 years first offense, no parole. That would take 90% of the psychopaths off the streets for two decades.
I prefer this victim's method of taking psychopaths off the streets. It's for longer than two decades. Much longer.
Democrats with unyielding liberal leanings consider armed robbery and burglary as a mere transfer of wealth and is justified because the government has failed to confiscate the victim's unjustly(earned) wealth.
Don't bring a gun to a fist fight......
You might get shot.
So is the home owner going to be charged for firing a stolen gun that killed somebody?
Wouldn't surprise me these days...
Wonderful way to start the week! A story with a happy ending...
oh man... anything is possible now a days.
A truly heart warming feel good story.
My understanding is that if you commit a crime, any crime, and someone (anyone) dies as a result of that crime, then you can be charged for a homicide.
Aren't the gun-grabbers always telling us that a gun-owner is far more likely to shoot himself of a family memeber than an intruder?
This case is a little of both!
Another words the home owner may have violated the rights of the robber.
Yes the robber brought a gun, but that was to protect him from any robbers in the area. He had no intention of harming the home owner.
The robbers family may have a civil case here.
Liberal thinking.
You're correct. And this will probably go into the column of people who are shot with their own gun during a crime, and used as an argument against gun ownership . . . "A person with a gun is X times more likely to have the gun taken away and used against him during a violent crime than to protect himself with the gun."
It's an Alice in Wonderland approach to gun control, but then most of the invented statistics gun grabbers use are nonsense, anyway.
Could be cute but looks deeply troubled. Could be because her boyfriend just died and she's going to jail. Big Bertha will really like her.
Homeowner to thug: Thanks for the pistol, now go to hell.
Well done.
Misleading headline.
What about firing a weapon that wasn't registered to the shooter?
That's a big deal here in California...
(I'm being facetious, but who knows...)
The homeowner may be in some sh%8. He may find out that it would have been better for him to have been robbed than go through the crap the ACLU and the courts might take him through. Could clearly depend on the race of the robber. We know the cops caught a blondie who was with the perp.
Okay, so I'm jumping the gun, but it is California. I raise a toast to the homeowner for taking care of the business.
Lets hope the Police and the DA pats him on the back and lets him get back to a normal life.
I guess one out of two aint too bad.
To carry your thought a bit further, the homeowner might be in some hot water. If the perp dropped his gun and the homeowner picked it up and had control of the firearm, where is the rationale for deadly force? The perp is now unarmed and might not be a threat anymore.
I don't like it either, but that may be how the DA's look at this.

Capturing Alaska in Digital: BLM's Girl Scout photo workshops
When I was a girl growing up in Maine, I learned about photography from Girl Scouts using an Eastman Kodak "Brownie" cardboard box camera. What a miracle that camera was! It took 2 ¼-inch square pictures on 120mm film, and helped me capture the world as I saw it. I earned my second camera and first 35mm by selling vegetable seeds in a city to folks who didn't have vegetable gardens.
On June 7, I relived those memories as I co-led a series of BLM photography workshops for nearly 100 of the over 1,000 girl scouts in grades 3-7 attending the 2013 statewide Alaska Girl Scout encampment at the Alaska State Fairgrounds in Palmer. Not all girls brought their own cameras or photography experience, so I passed out colored construction paper and scissors to create a 'frame' to use as a 'viewfinder.' I then proceeded to teach them about zooming (telephoto/wide angle), portrait and landscape orientation, composition and the Rule of Thirds, lighting, and capturing live subjects as responsible wildlife photographers. Probably most importantly, I taught them to capture their feelings and experiences for the subjects through the lens, rather than simply becoming a "Clicker" and clicking at things. As they quickly learned, Clickers find it tougher to make phenomenal photos.
It was interesting how the girls directed our volunteers, usually their Girl Scout leaders, on where to stand for a portrait. They told them to stand many yards away. I would explain the Rule of Thirds and that you do not need to get someone's feet as well as their head in every photo; that usually people should not be so tiny you can't tell who they are. If people want to photograph feet, then by all means, line those appendages up and click away! The feet will be much more interesting as a photo capture all by themselves.
The girls would forget to look at composition of photos, many of them placing the 'models' in front of a construction project, underneath cables, in shadows, or where people moved between them and the camera. By applying the Rule of Thirds, the girls saw how to bring subjects close and still capture those backgrounds. They learned to compose their photos, to consider what or who their subjects really are, and to study their backgrounds and environments. They learned ways to make portraits different and unique, rather than simply people standing there smiling at the camera.
BLM-Alaska Land Law Examiner Ann Richardson, who is also a wildlife biologist by education, taught the girls about macrophotography. She brought plaster-casted fossil dinosaur and animal tracks, introducing ichthology or the study of fossil tracks, and examples of lady bugs and other tiny subjects. She led the girls on an odyssey of discovery unlike most of them had ever imagined! She also gave the girls Alaska dinosaur bookmarks and this year's educational Campbell Creek Science Center woodpecker posters.
What a wonderful way to teach about the natural resources and public lands BLM manages, and to encourage a different way of viewing the world than when these girls had arrived at encampment! Each girl received a copy of the Alaska Digital Wildlife Photography Handbook http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/viewing/pdfs/ak_digital_photography_handbook.pdf or http://alaska.fws.gov/external/education/pdf/ak_digital_photography_handbook.pdf that I developed for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They also received information about capturing the night skies and Alaska's auroras (Northern Lights). Sharing our passions with these youth gave them some skills and tools to last them a lifetime. It also helped us go back in time to when we, too, were just learning about photography and how to capture our world.

|Cardinals | Chandler Catanzaro struggles Thursday
Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:02:41 -0700
Arizona Cardinals PK Chandler Catanzaro missed two extra points during the final preseason game Thursday, Sept. 3, but head coach Bruce Arians said he is not worried about Catanzaro. Catanzaro went 5-for-8 in his field goal attempts during the preseason.
Fantasy Tip: Catanzaro could be a fantasy option for owners since the Cardinals have the chance to have a solid offense. He finished tied for eighth in the NFL with 29 field goals made last season and could be a low-end No. 1 kicker.

Arizona Cardinals PK Chandler Catanzaro was praised Tuesday, July 29, by head coach Bruce Arians for being perfect through camp, but he missed three kicks in a row during the afternoon practice. Special teams coordinator Amos Jones pulled the rookie aside after the session, and by Catanzaro's body language, he appeared to be unhappy with himself.
Fantasy Tip: Catanzaro is attempting to unseat veteran Jay Feely for the placekicking duties. The starter will be kicking for a contending team with a strong offense, so the winner of the battle could emerge as a strong fantasy option sooner rather than later.

Did you know? Although stiff and formal with acquaintances, Benjamin Harrison opened up with his family. During his one term as President, he spent as little time as possible in the office, usually working only until noon. He loved to play with his grandchildren, many of whom had moved into the White House with their parents—Russell Benjamin Harrison, age thirty-six in 1890, and Mary Scott McKee, age thirty-two. Perhaps most interestingly, the children were allowed to keep as many pets on the grounds as they wanted, including a goat whom they named Old Whiskers. One memorable story told of Harrison chasing the goat down Pennsylvania Avenue with his three grandchildren in tow and top hat in hand while waving his cane. Harrison also tried to escape Washington as often as possible, frequently going on hunting trips in secret. One trip made the national press when he shot a farmer's pig by mistake.

Glad I didn't talk myself out of these..
"I was a little skeptical buying this shoe (I bought in blue with black dots), thinking that it would either be really cute or look cartoony, for lack of a better word. They are actually a lot cuter in person than I think they look online, and I'm glad I didn't talk myself out of them. They're average amount of comfort for this type of shoe, but I was able to order the size I normally wear in most shoes and it fit true to size."
