Look at the hill in the background. I probably notice it a lot more than you guys though, since I've seen the full uncompressed version as well as the game itself.
Oh and by the way, adding a screenshot key to your game makes it SO much more convenient to grab screenshots of the game, and it's extremely simple to do, at least with C#/OpenTK:
using (Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(ClientSize.Width, ClientSize.Height)) { BitmapData data = bmp.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, ClientSize.Width, ClientSize.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb); GL.ReadPixels(0, 0, ClientSize.Width, ClientSize.Height, OpenTK.Graphics.OpenGL.PixelFormat.Bgr, PixelType.UnsignedByte, data.Scan0); bmp.UnlockBits(data); bmp.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipY); bmp.Save(fileName, ImageFormat.Png); }
After the AP exam my teacher wants the 4 of us to make our own program of sorts. I decided I would make a simple platformer game where the core mechanic was the ability to flip gravity. I started to work on the art work with my shit drawing, here's the map that will show up when selecting a level:
I have no idea what I wanna do for a splash screen. I don't have a name for the game, so a logo would suck but I also don't know how to make it in the likes of SMW where a computer plays Mario across a level.
Also my game spans across 3 regions but I have no idea what the white region will be(The brown area will be a castle, green a forest(yes I'm going to update the picture some more)).
Installing linux to use valgrind..
I wish it worked on Windows.
why are you inlining a 1920x1080 image anyway?
a png, too.
Well that only took about six hours of screaming frustration to port.
Now I just need to find out why the mouse input doesn't work, what's wrong with that wall and why the font loader seems to think all my files are 1 byte shorter than they actually are.
Also, I was getting bored of my code working exactly the same on multiple platforms. I'm glad Apple were kind enough to introduce me to MACRO HELL.
...Hey, where the hell is the floor and FPS counter? Argh.
you have defines to use the shortest version of the code for different compilers but that makes the code like 3 times as long(and confusing as fuck), why not just use iterators?
Does anyone here know of any 2d game development libraries for java? When I google it there seems to be so many choices and I was just wondering if anyone uses any and had a recommendation.
Link to theme please?
Because I like Lambdas and I'll be damned if I'll let a stupid bug in a toolchain that's due for an update soon on a poncy platform I never intended to support in the first place stop me using core language features.
I suspect I will disagree with this when I next look at that code but fuck the future.
try :colorscheme desert first though, it should be preinstalled.
Or utilise inheritance. Have a CollisionManagerApple etc that do platform specific tasks. Then the only #ifdef you need is when creating the instance.
Dude, check out libGdx it's a badass library for a lot of game-related things with java. Also when you're ready with your game it makes porting to other platforms (mainly Android) a lot easier.
Well, with the exception of two strange, horizontal and vertical lines, my new rendering method works fairly well
When i say fairly well, i mean that rendering time has gone from 80 ms, to 40 ms. There is now no cpu involvement either, and no data needs to be read back to host at any point.
Image (2 million triangles roughly)
It wasn't the most complex change. The kernel that writes depth information now also writes interpolated lighting normals and UVW coordinates to two screenwidth*screenheight textures. Depth information is also written, though to a regular buffer rather than a texture (need of atomic operations)
These textures are passed to the next kernel which runs threads for every pixel on the screen, then calculates lighting and colour information based on the buffers passed previously
This is a massive improvement over the previous "one thread per triangle approach" as the load is now always balanced properly, and there aren't a lot of wasted non drawn pixels having their depth values checked in the slower kernel
The thing keeps disappearing as well which is unhelpful. I suspect memory corruption somewhere is causing these issues
Hooray! OBJ file loading! (Excuse the lag ;)
Edit: Dropbox bandwidth limit
So I am working currently on a cool gayme its called "hi postal"
Wait a few days for LLVM 3.1 to come out (release date is currently the 14th). Clang finally has lambdas. Finally.
(also, why not just use a functor in the meantime? You won't be ripping your hair out )
I usually record in .wmv format, convert it using this tool and then upload it to my ftp-server.
I'd like to do things with it but I don't know the slightest bit of javascript which makes it a bit difficult.
When can we expect to see the first GNU/JSOS distribution?
With enough patience, I think you can actually start doing one now. Although there's no Xorg-like system for it yet (?)
And hopefully not ever.
Working with my Server->Client networking for maps and entities and going for an endless world type of map generation, My idea so far, is to piece the map together in chunks on the client using the seed ( which will always be the same ) so all terrain will be generated on the client, and the server will only send things that have "changed" for that specific chunk of the map ( persistent world ), Does this sound like a good approach to this sort of thing? Or are there better more efficient ways of doing it?
It's got a mode 13h driver at the moment (320x200, 256 colors) but that's not really enough for a GUI.
To get anything better your going to need realmode and VBE.
I can execute machine code in real mode with Kernel.realExec()
Here's how I swap to mode 13h: https://github.com/charliesome/jsos/...vers/vga.js#L8
If you're knowledgable about this kind of stuff I'd be thrilled if you could contribute some better VGA code!
THIS I would like to see. Although it probably wouldn't be wayland.
My point wasn't about Xorg or Wayland though, but just a system like X or Wayland.
It would be wondrous
today I spent learning regex - a tool whose usefulness i've long acknowledged but which I'd never adopted due to how incomprehensible it looked.
learning to write regular expressions did not unfortunately teach me to read them
It never really gets easier.
yes it does, you're just not very good at them
Well, I spent most of last night installing Debian with a dual boot setup, after I installed the NVIDIA drivers it stopped recognising my second monitor (the one I installed vertically), I tried to fix it by editing my X configuration file to no avail.. grrr.
This sucks, but I guess I'll have to make-do.
I meant you can't just look at a regex and instantly understand what it does; it still requires a good amount of thought.
Anyone know of some popular applications made in .net that aren't free? Just wondering as I don't know of many(I use mainly freeware). I have a feeling digging through the 0day releases is going to come up with a bunch of obscure applications that no one uses.
Have you tried actually reading the regex? Outside of parenthesis balancing it's not too difficult to read unless it's a particularly lovecraftian regex.
It's not DIFFICULT, but it still requires thought.
Pretty sure you can apply that flawed logic to anything.
Take not shitting yourself, for example. It's not difficult, it just requires some thought.
I hate making regexs, they're so useful it's insane, but it's like one of those things that I don't use often enough to really keep in my brain. So I am always sort of relearning regex. I still keep like the 'gist' of how it works but forget the syntax rules and such.

Title: | Particular Reasons |

Abstract: | Moral particularists argue that because reasons for action are irreducibly context-dependent, the traditional quest in ethics for true and exceptionless moral principles is hopelessly misguided. In making this claim, particularists assume a general framework according to which reasons are the ground floor normative units undergirding all other normative properties and relations. They then argue that there is no cashing out in finite terms either (i) when a given non-normative feature gives rise to a reason for or against action, or (ii) how the reasons that are present in a given context play off each other to determine one's overall duties. However, the conjunction of these two theses leaves particularists without a coherent notion of a reason for action: posit too much irreducible context-dependence in the behavior of reasons, and the reasons-based framework breaks down. One upshot is that the particularists' challenge to principle-based approaches to ethics has not, at present, been successfully made out; another upshot is that perhaps the best way to formulate that challenge involves renouncing the reasons-based framework all together. |

Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) July 11, 2014
Diagnotes Inc. and Advanced Healthcare Associates (AHA) today announced an agreement that will place the Diagnotes mobile and web-based clinical communication system in the hands of AHAs medical directors, physicians and nurse practitioners at more than 100 nursing homes in Central Indiana and Kentucky.
Our highly skilled clinicians have been providing leading-edge geriatric care for nursing home patients since 1988, said Bryon Miller, JD, GNP of AHA. The Diagnotes technology makes us one of the first post acute care practices in the nation to incorporate truly secure, mobile communication throughout our organization from our 24-hour nurse triage call center to our medical directors, rounding clinicians and billing staff.
The two companies initiated a pilot program in April 2014, initially integrating the Diagnotes system into the triage call center where more than 20 trained nurses take calls around-the-clock from AHA-staffed nursing homes reporting patient information and requesting clinician consultation and orders.
The Diagnotes secure text messaging and secure voicemail technologies allow triage nurses to communicate vital information to the clinician, and to verify that it has been received, explained Dave Wortman, Diagnotes chairman and CEO. Because professional staff scheduling is incorporated, the triage center is able to quickly identify and contact the on-call physician or nurse practitioner.
The mobile and web-based platform is designed for a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environment, in which all users are able to use the smartphone, tablet, or laptop of their choice at any location. Diagnotes pushes critical information current medications, histories, allergies, etc. from the patients medical record to the clinician. Those facts, along with the triage information from the call center, efficiently provide what the practitioner needs to make a timely treatment decision.
The closed-loop system also allows the clinician to communicate follow-up and transition information to other team members, and to document the encounter, choosing from provided codes and descriptions to securely send details to the billing office. AHA, in the early stages of implementation, is already seeing decreased response times and increased revenue capture.
All evidence suggests that the Diagnotes communication system will allow us to improve the quality of care we deliver, with greater efficiency and effectiveness, said Meredith Hole, practice administrator. We couldnt be more pleased that we chose to partner with Diagnotes in this endeavor.
Wortman echoed the comments of Miller and Hole. We have an aging population, and the practice of geriatric medicine is bound to grow in nursing homes, smart medical homes, and congregate living, he said. AHA is clearly planning for the future by keeping its operations and staff on the cutting-edge of medical care for our seniors. Were proud to be their choice for enhanced mobile communication.
About Diagnotes
Diagnotes is a mobile and web-based software system that gives medical groups the tools to improve physician communication with their patients, care teams and office staff.

Why Ohio State's Backup QB Could Be the Most Important Player in the Big Ten
Ask yourself this: What if Kenny Guiton hadn't been on Ohio State's roster in 2013?
Would the Buckeyes—minus starting quarterback Braxton Miller, who went out with a knee injury in the second game of the year—still have gotten off to the 4-0 start that sparked a perfect regular season?
An early misstep would have cost them the Big Ten title game and their first trip to the BCS since the end of the Jim Tressel era.
If not for their No. 112-ranked pass defense, a slip-up could have cost Ohio State a clear shot at a national championship.
Without Guiton as Miller's backup in 2013, the Buckeyes would have faced San Diego State, Cal and Florida A&M with either J.T. Barrett or Cardale Jones under center.
While it's impossible to say with any certainty what would have happened without Guiton, it's a sure thing that in 2014 if Miller goes down—yet again—it will be Barrett or Jones leading Ohio State in its quest to reach the first-ever College Football Playoff.
How big of a deal is this?
Well, the Buckeyes—who are No. 6 in Athlon's early top 25 for 2014—will be relying on two backup quarterbacks who combined are an all-time 1-of-2 for three yards in the college ranks.
How Likely Is an Injury?
Is Miller really an injury-prone player or instead is the issue a product of media hype?
According to Ari Wasserman of Northeast Ohio Media Group via Cleveland.com, Miller has left six games with injuries since becoming the starter in 2011.
That equals six times in 35 starts, or 17 percent of his collegiate career.
And this number doesn't include the shoulder injury which rattled Miller in the Buckeyes' Orange Bowl loss to Clemson.
Among the most memorable moments was 2012 at Purdue, where Miller left in the third quarter with a neck injury, not to return. Buckeye faithful were traumatized by images of Miller leaving the stadium in an ambulance even though their team went on to edge the Boilermakers 29-22.
Thankfully, Miller was back in action the next week at Penn State.
The most impactful injury came in 2013 when Miller's Heisman campaign was derailed by a knee injury versus San Diego State. This cost him three games and a load of momentum.
What contributes to Miller's propensity to injury is his athletic ability. In other words, if you can both run and pass the ball effectively, you are going to be in on more plays, and you'll put yourself in harm's way more often.
Miller's Impact
When considering the importance of Miller to Ohio State, it's key to keep in mind the statistical impact he's had on the offense.
One of only four quarterbacks in 2013 to run and pass for more than 1,000 yards, Miller is in elite company and in "the offense" more than just a key contributor.
To illustrate, take a look at the percentage of offense Miller can be directly credited with in 2013 compared to other top quarterbacks around the league.
Individual Offensive Impact 2013 | ||||||
QB | Team | Pass Yds | Rush Yds | Total Yds | Total Team Yds | % |
Miller | Ohio St | 2094 | 1068 | 3162 | 7167 | 44% |
Lynch | NIU | 2895 | 1920 | 4815 | 7277 | 66% |
Marshall | Auburn | 1976 | 1068 | 3044 | 7018 | 43% |
Manziel | Texas A&M | 4114 | 759 | 4873 | 6999 | 69% |
College Football Statistics |
Though Miller's contribution is smaller on paper than that of Jordan Lynch or Johnny Manziel, keep in mind that he missed three games in 2013 due to injury.
If you take Miller's 263 average yards of offense per game and multiply it by three, that's 789 additional yards lost to injury. Adding these back in, his total goes up to 3,851 yards, and he's 55 percent of the Buckeye offense last season.
The message is clear: If Miller goes down, Ohio State's offense is in jeopardy of losing more than half of its yards. The only way to avert this—other than him not getting hurt—is to have a steady-handed backup waiting in the wings to take over.
Guiton's Contributions
In both 2012 and 2013, the Buckeyes had a great answer to the enduring question, "What if?"
The answer was Guiton, a guy who not only replaced Miller for three wins in 2013 but also played a key role in Buckeye victories in relief of Miller in 2012 at Michigan State, at Indiana and at Purdue.
How good was he this past season? Well, take a look at his numbers straight-up against other notable backups in 2013.
Backup Quarterbacks in 2013 | ||||||||
Att | Comp | % | Yds | TDs | INTs | Rating | ||
Guiton | Ohio St | 109 | 75 | 68.8 | 749 | 14 | 2 | 165.25 |
Mason | Georgia | 110 | 67 | 60.9 | 968 | 5 | 3 | 144.38 |
Mauk | Mizzou | 133 | 68 | 51.1 | 1071 | 11 | 2 | 143.09 |
Dobbs | Tenn | 121 | 72 | 59.5 | 695 | 2 | 6 | 103.28 |
Boykin | TCU | 176 | 105 | 59.7 | 1198 | 7 | 7 | 122.01 |
College Football Statistics |
What's worth noting here is the number of mistakes Guiton didn't commit, an achievement reflected in his passer rating.
To put this into perspective, if Guiton had posted the 165.25 mark after a full season of play, he would have finished the year ranked No. 8 in the FBS in passer rating. This would have put him just after Alabama's AJ McCarron at 167.16 and before UCF's Blake Bortles at 163.43.
And well before teammate Miller, who finished with a 158.08.
Though Guiton doesn't have the same athletic gifts as Miller, he was so effective in the backup role that some argued he should be considered for the starting job, even if only temporarily.
Here's what Ohio State beat writer Kyle Rowland had to say in a debate with Sean Merriman of the Big Ten Network over who should start in this season's Florida A&M game.
I'm simply saying that Guiton is a star, just like Miller. And if I have to choose between the two, I'm going with the guy who is A. Healthy and B. Playing better at this very moment.
The point is that you can't underplay the importance of having had Guiton as the No. 2 quarterback in 2012 and 2013. Moving forward, you can't over-emphasize how vital it is to find the right guy to replace him for 2014.
In the Wings
Here's the scoop on the two guys who will battle for the backup quarterback slot at Ohio State in 2014.
J.T. Barrett signed on with the class of 2013 as a 4-star—according to Rivals—from Rider High School in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Rivals had him as the No. 7-ranked dual-threat prospect, and despite the fact that he redshirted in 2013 and hasn't played a down of college ball, based on talent alone he is expected to have the edge for the No. 2 slot.
After redshirting in 2012, Cardale Jones participated in three games for the Buckeyes in 2013. His only collegiate stats came in the Buckeyes' 56-0 win over Purdue where he went 1-of-2 for three yards.
Jones was a 3-star recruit in the class of 2011—according to Rivals—from Glenville Academic Campus in Cleveland, Ohio. Rivals had him as the No. 12-ranked pro-style prospect behind No. 1 Jeff Driskel, No. 2 Cody Kessler, No. 3 Max Wittek and No. 6 David Ash.
So, the million-dollar question is: Can Barrett and/or Jones come in off the bench and play the role of Guiton, who consistently led the Buckeyes to victory as the reliever? Or instead will they become like the woesome legend of Garrett Gilbert, who backed up Colt McCoy at Texas in 2009?
Either way, if Miller goes down at any point in 2014, one of these two unknowns may become the hinge on which the first-ever College Football Playoff door swings.

Habitat and Ecology: | Oreochromis mweruensis is a benthopelagic, non-migratory species. Young of O. mweruensis feed on epiphytic filamentous algae in swampy areas. This species is found in quiet waters along river margins and backwaters, in floodplain habitat and impoundments.

Some vintage bicycles may feature their original rear derailleur, and after years and miles of use, the derailleur may be in need of replacement. Fortunately this part is detachable, and so long as a suitable replacement is found, there's little issue in swapping one for another. A vital component to multigeared road and mountain bikes, the rear derailleur has the responsibility of shifting the chain from one cog to another.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Allen wrenches (sizes will vary by derailleur)
- Adjustable wrench (as needed)
- Wire cutters
- Needle nose pliers
- Cable crimp
- Bicycle grease
Show More
- 1
Remove the lower pulley, known as the "tension" pulley, from the derailleur. There is a bolt at the centre of the pulley. Use a proper size Allen wrench and turn the bolt clockwise to remove it. The pulley can now be removed.
- 2
Loosen the derailleur cable anchor bolt, using an Allen or adjustable wrench, depending on bolt design. This bolt secures the shift cable to the derailleur and can be found on the bottom of the derailleur.
- 3
Cut the metal crimp from the end of the cable, using wire cutters, and pull the cable free of the derailleur.
- 4
Loosen the fixing bolt at the centre of the derailleur, using an Allen or adjustable wrench, depending on bolt design. This bolt attaches the derailleur to the bicycle. Once loose, remove the old derailleur.
- 1
Remove the lower pulley from the replacement derailleur, duplicating Step 1 above. Set the pulley aside for the moment.
- 2
Grease the fixing bolt on the backside of the replacement derailleur and attach the derailleur to the bicycle. Make sure the chain passes in front of the upper derailleur pulley. Tighten the bolt in place.
- 3
Press the lower pulley against the inside of the chain and push the pulley in place inside the derailleur. The chain should pass behind the pulley.
- 4
Thread the bolt through the centre of the lower pulley and tighten the bolt in place.
- 5
Pass the cable through the back of the derailleur and push the cable all the way through until it emerges from the other end.
- 6
Pull the end of the cable taut with needle nose pliers and tighten the anchor bolt on the bottom of the derailleur onto the cable.
- 7
Attach a fresh cable crimp onto the end of the cable to keep the end of the cable from fraying. Use needle nose pliers to squeeze the crimp in place.

text: Boss Mustang Drivers Refuse To Race In Protest Of The SCCA This WeekendPatrick George8/06/12 9:30amFiled to: MotorsportsFordMustang Boss 302ProtestsccaWorld ChallengeVideo139EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkAt this weekend's Pirelli World Challenge GTS race at Mid-Ohio, drivers of the Ford Mustang Boss 302 race cars staged a protest against SCCA rules by parking their 'Stangs in the pit lane after the initial formation lap.AdvertisementWhy the protest? They say that they're required to run a very small restrictor on their cars, which reduces overall horsepower and drives up engine temperatures. In a statement, the teams said that the restrictor causes engine oil and coolant temperatures to rise way above normal. In previous races, they said these issues have caused engine failures and have forced some Mustangs to fail to finish.Secondly, the Boss Mustang teams said they feel that the SCCA's imposition of the restrictor — a way of leveling a playing field comprised of many different cars — is unfair. They said they met with race officials to try and fix this, but felt their voices were not being heard, hence the protest. "The Mustang owners and drivers collectively and unanimously feel that the SCCA's method of creating parity is not working and leaves the Mustang with a significant handicap in many areas, and an advantage in NO area," the teams said in the statement.Driver Justin Bell had strong words for race officials and Ford Motorsports in a video he recorded during the protest.Advertisement"We love racing these cars and we wish we were out there right now, but we wanted to make a pretty big statement," Bell said. "Believe it or not, the Mustang 302 is the baseline for this series... But for some reason over the course of the season, the car has been rendered pretty much obsolete."In the first race on Saturday, no Mustang got higher than 10th place, Bell said.AdvertisementSponsored"The parity in this series is not equal to all. We're not asking to be faster than anyone else. All we want to do is be able to race on an even and fair playing field," he said. "Hopefully, our expectation is that someone very senior at Ford Motorsport will now engage with SCCA and the World Challenge Series to ensure that the Mustang remains a viable and affordable and fast car in this series."Photo credit Race Shots Resource(Hat tip to Autospotters!)Reply139 repliesLeave a reply

An acclaimed Italian guitar virtuoso and composer, Mauro Giuliani, along with Fernando Sor, was one of the last great classical proponents of his instrument until its revival in the early twentieth century. He studied counterpoint and the cello, but on the six-string guitar he was entirely self-taught, and that became his principal instrument early on. Italy abounded with fine guitarists at the beginning of the nineteenth century (Carulli remains the most familiar today), but few of them could make a living because of the public's preoccupation with opera. So Giuliani embarked on a successful tour of Europe when he was 19, and in 1806 he settled in Vienna, where he entered the musical circle of Diabelli, Moscheles, and Hummel. He solidified his reputation with the 1808 premiere of his Guitar Concerto in A major, Op. 30, and was soon heralded as the greatest living guitar virtuoso. Even Beethoven noticed Giuliani, and wrote of his admiration for him. Perhaps to return the favor, Giuliani played cello in the 1813 premiere of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7.
"Poor is not he who has little, but he who always needs more. " Pepe Mujica has become famous for being the "world's poorest president". The former guerrilla fighter and flower grower is currently considered one of the most charismatic politicians of Latin America. Old and young believe in him thanks to his humble lifestyle and his unconventional manners, where political protocol is concerned. His political visions, among them his sensational regulation of the marihuana market, have created international interest. Since the spring of 2010, Uruguay has been led by a president who, as a young man, revolted against the power of the state he now heads with both words and arms. Pepe Mujica was a founding member of the urban guerrilla group "Tupamaros", which fought the state in the repressive Uruguay of the 1970s.

shannon goff recreates her grandfather's 1979 lincoln continental in cardboard
photography by PDRearick / courtesy of shannon goff
as a detroit native, artist shannon goff became inadvertently familiar with the rampant car culture of 'motor city'. despite bearing witness to the rise and fall of industrial prosperity in the city, goff's sculptural work on view at susanne hilberry gallery until november 14th, 2015 comes from a place of personal preoccupation. when she was 5, her grandfather purchased a special edition collector's series 1979 lincoln continental mark V, painted in metallic turquoise with a white vinyl carriage roof, turquoise leather interior and a cartier clock. 'best built for the highway, the mark V's smooth ride conjured up the sensation of floating on a cloud,' goff remembers.
for the exhibition in michigan, the artist has sculpted a full-scale replica of the 'land yacht' from cardboard, intricately forming every feature of the car using the paper medium. each part of the vehicle has been uniquely fabricated and folded, in turn reflecting the many hands that collectively created the vehicles on the lincoln assembly line years ago. titled 'miles to empty', the sculpture features an all-white exterior finish and a highly-detailed interior scheme, complete with paper dashboard buttons and a carved cardboard wheel.
Hi there,
thats amazing!
Next step would be, open the doors and drive off:-)
Very impressed greetings from Germany
What about the engine?

1 Samuel 20
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?
And he said to him, God forbid; you shall not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
And David swore moreover, and said, Your father certainly knows that I have found grace in your eyes; and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.
Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.
And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at even.
If your father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
If he say thus, It is well; your servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?
And Jonathan said, Far be it from you: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then would not I tell it you?
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if your father answer you roughly?
And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
And Jonathan said to David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not to you, and show it you;
The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do you evil, then I will show it you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.
And you shall not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
But also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and you shall be missed, because your seat will be empty.
And when you have stayed three days, then you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them; then come you: for there is peace to you, and no hurt; as the LORD lives.
But if I say thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go your way: for the LORD has sent you away.
And as touching the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between you and me for ever.
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
And the king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something has befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why comes not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
And he said, Let me go, I pray you; for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and see my brothers. Therefore he comes not to the king's table.
Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own confusion, and to the confusion of your mother's nakedness?
For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the ground, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Why now send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die.
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why shall he be slain? what has he done?
And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
And he said to his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond you?
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
And Jonathan gave his artillery to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, for as much as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.

Mr. Green represented me in an emotionally charged estate matter last year and offered me unparalleled advice and support for the duration of the case. It was clear that he was well respected by the judge in the courtroom and by attorney representing the other party. Mr. Green is extremely professional, well-spoken, and has a very strong presence in the courtroom. I would recommend him without hesitation.

My pictures that i take with my camera keep disappearing from the phone. Images are still on the card when i connect to my computer, but phone wont see them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Need a lot more info. What apps have you installed, have you added any directories, etc. Is it just the gallery they aren't showing up on? Can you view them with the Files app?
Thanks garath. I found them in the files app in the dcim folder so it is just the gallery that they aren't showing up in. I did d add a "Video" directory for dragging and dropping videos, should I delete this directory? I've installed a few apps like isyncr for mac, beautiful widgets, and ringdroid but my wife also has these same apps installed and does not have this issue.
You're not using a .nomedia file are you? Issue 3692 - android - MediaScanner deletes jpg and gif files - Project Hosting on Google Code *** Other than that, there's a recent bug report about this on the google code site about stuff disappearing...can't find it at the moment. I wonder if the SD Card might be corrupt.
My DroidX is doing this too. I noticed some of the pictures were replaced by music album art so I uninstalled itag app. Luckily I had backed up the images/videos so I can just replace the files but I still am looking for a cause for this.
Same thing happened to me last night. They're stored in a emmc folder on the root of my SD. BUT IT'S not showing in my gallery
I had the same problem and solved it by formatting the SD card (Settings > SD Card & Phone Storage > click Unmount SD card > Format SD Card) WARNING: Obviously you will lose all data on the SD card, so you might copy everything from the SD card to you PC before formatting the SD card. I use DejaOffice and Companionlink to sync with Outlook. After I formatted the SD card, Companionlink saw there was no Contact/Task data in Dejaoffice and deleted all my data in Outlook! If you use Companionlink, consider using the "Purge and Reload" feature (make sure you read the help first.)
very annoying - has happened to me twice now. pretty unacceptable. and not a peep from Motorola about this? this is the SD card that came with the phone - it SHOULD ALREADY be formatted correctly for chrissake.
Number of folks are having this problem since Froyo. Go to link below, sign up, and complain. The more who do so, the quicker we might get this acknowledged and fixed. https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/36278?tstart=0

Stockton, Calif. – The Pacific men's basketball team advanced to semifinals of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament with a 75-60 victory over San Diego at the Alex G. Spanos Center on Wednesday, March 26. With the win, the Tigers improved to 18-15 overall. The Toreros finished the season at 18-17. It was Pacific's eighth win in three CIT appearances, which is a tournament record.
"This team just keeps improving," said Pacific Head Coach Ron Verlin. "We got off to a great start tonight, but San Diego came back. We really had to battle it out in the second half. Tony Gill and Andrew Bock really stepped up tonight, but it was truly a team effort."
Pacific came out hot from the field, hitting its first four shots from the field to take a 10-0 lead just 2:13 into the game. Senior Andrew Bock scored five points in the opening run, including a layup after a steal. The Tigers then went cold from the field, going just 4-18 from the field over the next 11 minutes as the Toreros took a 22-19 lead. Pacific then scored eight straight from four different players to regain the lead at 27-22 with 4:07 left. After the Toreros got a bucket from Christopher Anderson, the Tigers scored the final six points to take a 32-24 lead at the halftime break.
San Diego scored the first seven points of the second half, to cut the Tiger lead to 32-31. After a pair of layups by senior Khalil Kelley and junior Gabriel Aguirre, USD's Duda Sanadze scored the final four points of an 8-2 run to give the Toreros a 39-38 lead with 12:59 to go. After three lead changes and the second of a couple of ties, the game was knotted at 41-41. Bock then stepped up for the Tigers, hitting a pair of three-pointers and scoring all of the teams' points in a 7-0 run as Pacific jumped to a 48-41 lead with 9:44 remaining in the game. The Toreros again cut it back, this time trailing just 53-50 with 5:33 to play after another Sanadze layup. Three-pointers from Gill and Bock started a 12-6 stretch that left the Tigers with a 65-56 lead and just 2:23 left. The Tigers hit all eight free throws the rest of the way to stretch the lead to the final margin of 15.
Bock tied his career high with 23 points, while Gill had his first career double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Senior Sama Taku added 10 points. The Tigers shot 48.0% from the field, while holding USD to 37.0%. The Toreros held a 32-30 edge in the paint, but Pacific outscored USD 18-6 from beyond the arc. The Tigers also held a 36-31 rebounding advantage.
The Tigers will next be in action in the semifinals of the CIT on Tuesday, April 1. Pacific is waiting for the official announcement of its opponent.

Great Red Dot This is a great red dot. It is very small, so be aware of that. I wanted it small to mount on top of a tactical scope. It is a bit of a pain to access the battery compartment, but that's the trade off for the small size. If you want a small, good quality red dot, this is it.

Decent Value Two new sights arrived just as ordered. After mounting, sighting in is a little challenging, but the supplied small screwdriver helps. Be sure to loosen the elevation and windage locking screws before adjustment, then retighten. For hard use, I recommend the metal protective bracket. Good value. I have three total, and they are about 80% as good as my Leupold Deltapoint which costs 2x as much but is built better and easier to adjust.

Great product & price This is one of the best reflex sights up to the $400+ range so it's hard to go wrong. This is a very small aperture with a small 1moa dot which is great for replacing iron sights and out to 100yds. Burris has integrated a light sensor which dims the dot when necessary and it does a great job in my opinion. The price was also spectacular using my club O rewards.

Not worth the money. I attached this to a rifle and there was not enough horizontal adjustment to zero the dot. Also the optics are horrible. The red dot is not clear. It looks very blurry. I have a cheap $60 red dot from ****that works better.

Let the weekend begin -- if for no other reason than the stock exchanges will close and stop dropping. Sheesh. With today's losses, the Dow, Nasdaq, S&P 500, and FOOL 50 have been knocked down in nine out of the past 10 sessions, and we're finishing off our ninth straight losing week. Are your eyes seeing red? Or have you tuned out by now? Is anybody out there even reading this or have you run screaming from anything related to the market? Let us know in our poll on the Motley Fool Take discussion board. The S&P 500 closed below 900 yesterday for the first time in nearly five years. Five years of gains wiped out. With declining stocks out-numbering advancers 3-to-1 today -- and in general over the last several months -- it makes being a stock picker all the more challenging. But we haven't capitulated here at the Fool. We're all in this together, folks, and we continue to learn from our mistakes. Heck, we made a big one in our educational portfolios by not having a clear sell strategy when we needed one. We left a lot of money on the table. That's why we developed our When to Sell: The Foolish Selling Strategy online seminar. If you want to join in and learn along with us, we hope you'll do so. If not, you can still read the first lesson right here on Fool.com. Relax this weekend. Stay out of the heat, and don't think about money. The market will still be there come Monday -- we promise. In today's Motley Fool Take:
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) fell 15% to a price it hasn't seen since March 2001 on news in The New York Times that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Justice Department are investigating a circumstance in its Puerto Rico drug-manufacturing facility. A boiler operator at the plant, who was fired in 1999, is suing J&J, claiming he was pressured to falsify data to hide "manufacturing lapses." He also claims he was suspended from work just before an anticipated interview with the FDA. Johnson & Johnson is cooperating fully with the investigation and said it will defend itself aggressively against the lawsuit. What's hurting the stock most today, we believe, is that people are coupling this lawsuit investigation with recent health problems experienced by Eprex drug takers in Europe and Canada. J&J markets Eprex for anemia. Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN) markets a similar drug. Recently, 141 Eprex patients developed a rare blood disorder, called red blood cell aplasia, which is potentially fatal. Eprex is manufactured at the Puerto Rico facility. Nervous shareholders are suddenly worried that any transgressions at that plant could lead to much larger lawsuits from sick Eprex patients. One fact people seem to be overlooking is that 140 of the 141 patients who developed the blood disorder were given injections of Eprex rather than given the drug intravenously. The company is recommending Eprex be given intravenously. So, the method of drug delivery is more likely to be the culprit than manufacturing issues at the Puerto Rican plant. FDA investigations are not uncommon at drug facilities. They, along with criminal investigations, just sound especially ominous. Is J&J a good buy at this price? One employee thinks so. Find out what he has to say on the Johnson & Johnson Discussion Board. Only on Fool.com.
You've heard that index funds, which seek to match the performance of the overall stock market as measured by an index such as the Standard & Poor's 500, stack up pretty well against other types of equity investments. There are many theories about why index funds, over the long term, beat most other stock funds, but one reason is simple: low fees. While the average actively managed stock fund charges more than 1% a year in fees and expenses, index funds charge as little as 0.16% a year. The bottom line is fees matter. For example, $10,000 invested at 8% a year would be worth $46,610 after 20 years (ignoring taxes). However, if that money earned just 7% a year, because 1% went to fees and expenses, the 20-year result would be just $38,697 -- a $7,913 difference. When it comes to expenses, one of the most pernicious leeches in the mutual fund pond is the 12b-1 fee. Named after a rule added to the Investment Company Act of 1940, the 12b-1 was invented in 1980 to allow smaller fund companies to recoup the expenses of marketing and distributing their funds. The idea was that marketing would result in more assets, eventually leading to an economy of scale that would allow mutual fund companies to lower expenses charged to shareholders. Yeah, right. According to an article in Investment News, 12b-1 fees totaled $9.5 billion last year, up from $6.5 billion in 1998. Seventy percent of all funds charge 12b-1 fees, according to mutual fund rating service Morningstar. This is up from 62% in 2000. Some funds even charge 12b-1 fees after they're closed to new investors. What does the Securities and Exchange Commission have to say about all this? In a December 2000 study on mutual fund fees, the SEC said: [B]ecause it is unclear what expenses are properly considered distribution expenses, some funds, out of an abundance of caution, adopt "defensive" 12b-1 plans. Defensive plans exist solely to ensure that if a court found any fund operating expense to be also a distribution expense, the expense would be covered under a 12b-1 plan. The result: some funds have 12b-1 plans although no assets are used for distribution purposes. Similarly, other funds, that do use their assets to pay for distribution, extend their 12b-1 plans to cover operating expenses as well. More recently, SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt announced in a speech to the Investment Company Institute, the mutual fund industry's advocacy group, that the SEC will begin looking into how 12b-1 fees are really used. But most experts agree that nothing will come of the inquiry. It is up to you, dear Fool, to take the real action: Avoid 12b-1 fees by steering clear of any fund that charges them.
"Greed is all right, by the way... I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself." -- Ivan F. Boesky, U.S. financier. After yesterday's close, online auction specialist eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) reported second-quarter earnings of $0.19 per share on $266.3 million in revenue. The company earned $54.3 million -- a 120% increase over the $24.6 million the company earned in the same period last year. Though net transaction revenues in the online sector rose 66% to $235.3 million, third-party advertising revenues declined 11% from last year, biting into overall revenue growth. Net margins rose 50% year over year, from 13.6% to 20.4%, showing the impressive scalability of eBay's business. Registered users increased 46% to 49.7 million, while gross merchandise sales (the total value of goods sold on its website) increased 51% to $3.4 billion. eBay also spent $30 million on a new corporate jet, causing free cash flow to decline 41% to $30.1 million from $51.2 million last year. To account for the plane, full-year capital expenditures were raised from $95 million to $130 million. That'll do wonders for public relations. While the composition of its revenues is news, eBay's earnings numbers are not. On July 8, eBay pre-announced earnings along with its approximate $1.4 billion all-stock purchase of payment services company PayPal (Nasdaq: PYPL). Analysts had previously expected earnings of $0.17 per share on revenue of $264 million. In the current quarter, the company now expects to earn $0.19 per share, a penny higher than its previous guidance. However, revenues will come between $278 million and $281 million -- lower than the average analyst estimate of $283 million. For the full year, eBay forecasts $1.1 billion in sales, and earnings of $0.76 to $0.78 per share -- better than its previous guidance and in line with current analyst estimates. eBay's forward guidance excludes PayPal's figures. Strong performance is not enough for eBay's investors, who seem to expect it to grow beyond perfection. The advertising market is still weak, but eBay's core online auction business is going strong. Disappointment in its upward revenue forecasts dragged the stock down nearly 6% in midday trading. There's no better independent help for your financial affairs than TMF Money Advisor. It gives you all the tools you need to plan ahead and -- more importantly -- take action to secure your financial future. Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) said "robust customer demand" for the Windows XP operating system helped fuel a solid fiscal 2002. However, the $11.91 billion of operating income represented only a 1.6% increase over 2001. PepsiCo's (NYSE: PEP) second-quarter earnings of $0.52 per share were in line with expectations, but revenue missed targets. As a result, investors knocked the stock down as much as 13% during the day. Shares of AOL Time Warner (NYSE: AOL) continued to slide, one day after Chief Operating Officer Robert Pittman resigned. The stock is down 15% this week, and 75% over the past year. ConAgra Foods (NYSE: CAG) is voluntarily recalling over 18 million pounds of raw beef, which may be tainted with the E. coli bacteria. The beef was processed at the company's plant in Greeley, Colorado, between April 12 and July 11. United Airlines (NYSE: UAL) and America West Airlines (NYSE: AWA) reported second-quarter losses of $341 million and $8.5 million, respectively. Of all the major carriers, only Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) was able to turn a profit in the quarter. Today on Fool.com: You don't have to expense stock options to know they exact a high price.

November is National Family Caregivers Month. This is the first in a series of blogs about caring for elderly loved ones at home.
According to the National Family Caregivers Association, there are more than 65 million family caregivers in the United States. Care providers play a vital role in our society, and they rarely receive the acknowledgement they deserve.
If you care for a family member, there are many steps that you can take to keep your loved one happy and healthy.
Transitioning from independent living to relying on others is stressful and frustrating for seniors. Caregivers can ease this by pointing out what their loved ones are still capable of doing on their own. When possible, seniors should be allowed to make their own decisions and try to retain family connections.
It is crucial that your loved one is provided adequate medical attention. Carefully monitoring your loved one's food, water and drug intake is essential. It is also helpful to install guardrails, to clear walkways of debris, and to keep your loved one's living area clean and organized to prevent a slip and fall accident.
There are many ways you can help your loved one feel comfortable at home. Placing a small pitcher full of water within reach will promote hydration. Taking down mirrors can help prevent confusion, as reflections can be bewildering for some elderly patients. Large dials and number pads can help your loved one use the phone or television remote without assistance.
While you would only want to provide exceptional care for your elderly family members, there are many others who may exploit and injure your loved ones. The skilled Texas nursing home abuse lawyers at the Law Office of W.T. Johnson offer you support if you feel your loved one has been neglected or abused. Contact us today to get your family members the justice they deserve.

Let \(G\) be a group, \(p\) a fixed prime, \(I = {1,...,n}\) and let \(B\) and \(P_i, i \in I\) be a collection of finite subgroups of \(G\). Then \(G\) satisfies \(P_n\) (with respect to \(p\), \(B\) and \(P_i, i \in I\)) if:
(1) \(G = \langle P_i|i \in I\rangle\),
(2) \(B\) is the normalizer of a \(p-Sylow\)-subgroup in \(P_i\),
(3) No nontrivial normal subgroup of \(B\) is normal in \(G\),
(4) \(O^{p^\prime}(P_i/O_p(P_i))\) is a rank 1 Lie-type group in char \(p\) (also including solvable cases).
If \(n = 2\), then the structure of \(P_1, P_2\) was determined by Delgado and Stellmacher. In this book the authors treat the case \(n = 3\). This has applications for locally finite, chamber transitive Tits-geometries and the classification of quasithin groups.

How Poor Are the Poor?
Losing Ground: American Social Policy, 1950–1980
From 1946 until 1964 the conservative politicians who dominated Congress thought that the federal government might be capable of transforming American society, but they saw this as a danger to be avoided at almost any cost. For the following twelve years the liberals who dominated Congress thought that the federal government should try to cure almost every ill Americans were heir to. After 1976 the political climate in Congress changed again. The idea that government action could solve—or even ameliorate—social problems became unfashionable, and federal spending was increasingly seen as waste. As a result, federal social-welfare spending, which had grown from 5 percent of the nation's gross national product in 1964 to 11 percent in 1976, has remained stuck at 11 percent since 1976.
Conservative politicians and writers are now trying to shift the prevailing view again, by arguing that federal programs are not just ineffective but positively harmful. The "problem," in this emerging view, is not only that federal programs cost a great deal of money that the citizenry would rather spend on video recorders and Caribbean vacations, but that such programs hurt the very people they are intended to help.
Losing Ground, by Charles Murray, is the most persuasive statement so far of this new variation on Social Darwinism. Murray is a former journalist who has also done contract research for the government and is now associated with the Manhattan Institute, which raises corporate money to support conservative authors such as George Gilder and Thomas Sowell. His name has been invoked repeatedly in Washington's current debates over the budget—not because he has provided new evidence on the effects of particular government programs, but because he is widely presumed to have proven that federal social policy as a whole made the poor worse off over the past twenty years. Murray's popularity is easy to understand. He writes clearly and eloquently. He cites many statistics, and he makes his statistics seem easy to understand. Most important of all, his argument provides moral legitimacy for budget cuts that many politicians want to make in order to reduce the federal deficit.
Murray summarizes this argument as follows:
The complex story we shall unravel comes down to this:
Basic indicators of well-being took a turn for the worse in the 1960s, most consistently and most drastically for the poor. In some cases, earlier progress slowed; in other cases mild deterioration accelerated; in a few instances advance turned into retreat. The trendlines on many of the indicators are—literally—unbelievable to people who do not make a profession of following them.
The question is why….
The easy hypotheses—the economy, changes in demographics, the effects of Vietnam or Watergate or racism—fail as explanations. As often as not, taking them into account only increases the mystery.
Nor does the explanation lie in idiosyncratic failures of craft. It is not just that we sometimes administered…

This project highlights six Nevada "territories" through words and images: Reno/Tahoe Territory which borders the scenic eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range; Las Vegas Territory, home to the most exciting city in Clark County and world-renown for its gambling and entertainment; Pony Express Territory, home to Great Basin National Park and U.S. Highway 50, the Loneliest Road in America; Cowboy County, famous for trailblazers, wagon trains, cattle drives and poetry gatherings; Pioneer Territory, the south central heartland of Nevada and home to the newly designated Extraterrestrial Highway; Indian Territory, a territory without geographic borders which celebrates the ancient and rich cultures of Nevada's native American tribes.
Originally submitted by: Harry Reid, Senator Richard H. Bryan, Senator Shelley Berkeley, Representative (1st District) & Jim Gibbons, Representative (2nd District).
The Local Legacies project provides a "snapshot" of American Culture as it was expressed in spring of 2000. Consequently, it is not being updated with new or revised information with the exception of "Related Website" links.

Don't tell me about cars I just slammed my mom's Jeep into a minivan while I was backing up -.-
To defend my honor:It was already night, there was no light in the street, the van was black and there is the emergency tire on the back window... ...DAMMIT I did not even see this thing until I smashed it's side!
