Just Add Water
Posted by One Gay at a Time in Gay Dating on November 9, 2012
CK and I were having a very long holiday weekend, and we were only half way through it. As CK wanted to go to the Scissor Sisters concert on Friday, which ended up happening on Saturday, I wanted to spend the weekend with my friends as well. We made plans before the weekend kicked off, and we were going to try to stick to it.
Early Sunday morning, CK and I woke up and quickly got ready for the day. We hopped on my motorcycle and made our way to Hoboken. We were catching a ride with K to her parents' house on Mohawk Lake. Since it was an hour drive, K wanted to leave early. Of course, we made it back to Hoboken and finished getting ready just in the nick of time to stay on her schedule. K's roommates, D and G, and D's girlfriend were also joining us. The five of us were spending the day on the water, tubing, swimming and lounging in the sun.
When we arrived at the lake, we visited with K's mother before prepping the boat. We all piled in, along with all the proper refreshments, and shoved off the dock. I was excited for a nice relaxing day on the lake. The weekend was off to a bit of a chaotic start, and I needed a day to hit the reset button. Everyone else was drinking, but that was the last thing I needed. For me, the sun was all I needed to be happy. I just wanted to lay out on the back of the boat and work on my tan.
Before breaking out the tube, we drove to the far side of the lake to drop anchor and hang out in the cove. The water was smooth, and there weren't many people out on the lake. In usual fashion, wherever CK went, so did his music. We weren't even out of the dock before he was plugging in his music. I wasn't opposed to music in general, but he was playing all the songs we'd heard the night before. I could also tell, Scissor Sisters weren't exactly my friends' cup of tea. However, this was not something I was about to engage in. I found my happy place, laid out a towel, and tried to drift off in the warmth of the sun.
When I got hot, I decided to hop in. Everyone else had already taken a dip. It was the perfect Sunday. Everyone was relaxing and just enjoying themselves. We all talked about our weekends and caught up with each other. I've always liked this group of friends. They all felt like my "Seinfeld" crew. On top of that, I had my man with me. That always makes me happy.
When we were all hungry, we drove to the other end of the lake to grab a few slices of pizza for lunch. When we all finished eating, we snapped a few fun and patriotic pictures on the boardwalk of the lake.
Once we all managed to digest our food, it was time to break out the tube. K was an experienced whip cracker. Everyone took turns riding the tube with a partner. It was a blast. In her usual fashion, K was relentless when I was on the tube. I think I frustrate her sometimes, and she uses that time to take all those frustrations out on me. However, I usually manage to hold on for longer than expected. That being said, she always finds a way to get me off that giant rubber floating donut.
I especially had a lot of fun riding the tube with CK. We made a great team, and my friends snapped quite a few great shots of us both. I was happy to have such a nice day after how bad our Friday night was. We really needed a nice day together.
It wasn't all smooth sailing however. Over the course of the day, I noticed K getting frustrated with CK. She was not only the owner of the boat, but also the captain. He wasn't listening to instructions very well. When she was ready to hit the throttle, CK was standing on the back of the boat. When she'd need to maneuver to circle back to pick someone up who fell off the tube, he was standing to change the music. I was worried we wouldn't be invited back again. Or worse. I would be, but I wouldn't be able to bring him back again. I asked him to be more conscientious about her directions. "Whatever she said, goes," I added.
When we were all sufficiently exhausted, we made our way back to K's parents' dock. We had a bit of a drive ahead of us.
D had his new car with him since he drove separately. I had yet to be in it, so I suggested CK and I ride with him, leaving the other two to drive together. On the ride home, we all planned to hit up D, K and G's apartment for a bar-be-cue. It would be our last hurrah of the holiday weekend before heading back to work. D dropped us off at my place, and we got ready to head over to grill up some burgers. I quickly made a pasta salad as well because I didn't want to show up empty handed.
I wasn't originally aware, but we were also going to meet K's new man. He is much younger than the rest of our group, and as a result, he spent the better portion of the evening trying to impress us. That's a surefire way for me not to be impressed. I like genuine people, not people who put on airs and say what they think I want to hear.
Dinner was nice and very relaxing. It was the perfect end of the holiday weekend. My weekend started off very crazed and chaotic, and it ended very relaxing and serene. When it was getting late, CK and I said our goodbyes and made our way back to my apartment. I agreed to spend the night in the city at his apartment, so I quickly packed a bag before we hopped on the bus.
When we got to his place, neither of us had much energy. We quickly settled into bed and mentally prepared for the workweek coming up after having quite a few days off. CK tuned into The Rachel Maddow show while I shut my eyes and tried to fall asleep in the arms of the man I loved.

Posted by One Gay at a Time in Gay Dating on March 14, 2012
I've been on Grindr for quite some time now. I've come to remember certain things about certain guys on there. I recognize when new guys come up, and I recognize when guys I've spoken to in the past pop up as well.
N and I have always had an awkward relationship when it came to Grindr. It was how we met, but it was also the catalyst for him cheating on me (and me cheating on him).
After I broke up with Smiles, he asked me to keep a lookout for a guy impersonating him on there. I was so thrilled he found an opportunity to capitalize on my failing relationship in some way. It was so typical of him. He'd also mentioned that a friend found me on there shortly after breaking up with Smiles. The story he gave me sounded like such b.s. I could see right through it. I could tell he had a secret profile himself because what he proposed happened would never have happened. He had a serious boyfriend, and I seriously suspected he was still using the app, just on the dl this time.
One day, I thought I discovered his secret profile. The language he used in the description was spot on for things he's said on his profile in the past. There also was no picture attached, so his boyfriend wouldn't be able to find him if he tried. I messaged the profile saying: "Is this [Neighbor's] secret profile?"
It took a long time, maybe a day perhaps, but the profile responded to me. He asked if he knew me, but I played dumb. I proposed my idea of who he was, but he wasn't answering me straight. Finally, he said he wasn't who I thought he was.
We started to chat about different things. He asked where I lived. I told him where I live and where I'd recently moved from. He commented about how I've lived in the back end of Hoboken for the most part. I told him I care more about what was inside my apartment than where I lived location wise.
He asked what gym I go to, and I told him. I told him my reservations about NYSC based on the stories N told me, as well as many of even my straight friends. He told me how he felt the same way, and because of this, he goes to Club H.
When I was detailing the sketchiness I knew about NYSC, he became more curious. He asked what my ex told me went down there. I told him he told me guys rub and tug in the steam room. I told him my ex told me about participating once before he met me. An older gentleman walked over to him and lifted off his towel, exposing him. He then proceeded to blow him. I was shocked by this because anyone could walk in at any time. He told me he was never able to stretch in there because guys were constantly dropping their towels at him and propositioning him.
He then started asking a lot of questions about my ex. He asked why we broke up. I told him about catching him flirting with other guys on Grindr and sending naked pictures of himself to other guys "he was just messaging to be friends with." He asked if I had a picture of him, so I looked through my phone and sent it. I felt a little guilty, but then again I didn't. N certainly didn't show me the respect I deserved, so why should I give him respect in return. Besides, I wasn't really doing anything wrong. I was only telling the truth, and the picture I sent was fully clothed. At this point, I still wasn't sure he wasn't N pretending to be someone else to pump me for information, but like I said, I wasn't saying anything untrue. I was being honest and civilized about it.
"No offense, but he's not very good looking," he added. I smiled from ear to ear. "Like my apartments, I choose my men based more on what's on the inside," I told him. I chuckled in my mind and out-loud because N always thought he was an adonis. He was decently attractive, but not enough to warrant his ego. He went on to insult his looks further. At this point, I had a feeling it wasn't N or one of his friends.
Then he asked if he was good in bed. I told him I didn't want to talk about my ex anymore and tried to change the subject. "That means no, haha," he joked. I said, "Not necessarily. He was new when he met me. I broke him in and showed him the ropes. I put in all the legwork for his current boyfriend." "How do you feel about that? Does that make you mad?" he asked. I told him I didn't care anymore. It wasn't my concern, and we weren't exactly friends anymore. I told him how I'd put in the effort to continue to be his friend, but I couldn't be bothered anymore. When he asked why we're barely friends, I told him about how N never put in any effort toward friendship unless there was something in it for him. "He's too conceited, that's why," I added.
At this point, I was a little suspect this guy was the one who was impersonating N on Grindr. It seemed he knew something or was pumping me for information, because every time I would try to change the subject, he would circle back. Once again, I just answered all the questions I was asked honestly. I asked him to send me pictures, which he did. I'd never seen him before. I started to ask him what brought him to Grindr, and I immediately was blocked by him. It was a very unusual turn of events. I was highly annoyed, but there was nothing I could do about it. I shrugged it off, and went on with my day.
I knew this wasn't the end of it. I knew there would be some hell to pay, but I was ready for it. That, and I DIDN'T CARE! Screw him. He wasn't adding any value to my life. He was one of the exs I no longer needed to concern myself with.
Of course, while traveling for business the next day, I received a text from N: "Hey bud… So this is going to be random. But you never spoke to anyone about me on Grindr recently have you?" Yup. I was right. It was someone pumping me for information so they could run back to him with it in some fashion.
I decided this wasn't worth my time. I didn't respond. I just laughed out loud to myself and put my phone away. It was my turn to talk to other guys on Grindr.
I told all my friends about what happened, and they loved it. They have not been a fan of his since they learned all the sh*t he was pulling behind my back. He was useless dead weight in my life, and it was time to cut him free. I no longer needed that baggage. He proved he didn't care enough to keep me a part of his life. I was going to spend more time concentrating on my good friends and new lovers. I was done living in the past.
That night, I texted the southern guy to see when we were actually going to get together. We'd had two great hour long phone conversations. I was looking forward to meeting him in person. I asked what he was up to the following night, and he responded back, "Yeah… I have a date, LOL." I was p*ssed. He had a lot of nerve. He knew I was interested. I made that clear. It was incredibly rude to respond in that way. What was laugh out loud worthy of that!? I didn't want to give him the benefit of an angry response, so I just said, "Enjoy. I take it you've lost interest then?"
"No, I just met someone last week at work (since I barely have a life outside of it) and we've had a few dates. Seeing where it's going. We haven't even kissed yet," he detailed. "Not gonna lie. I'm pretty disappointed. Been trying to meet up with you for weeks. Nothing I can do about it though," I told him. I was hurt, but I wanted to be honest. He tried consoling me by saying: "I'm sorry. It just happened. It doesn't mean we can't grab a drink. I just want to be completely up front. The opposite of the guys up here who are dating and f*cking 7 people at a time." I wasn't going to play this game. "Well my friend, the ball is in your court. You know how to reach me if you're ever up for that drink…" I was done chasing men who showed no interest in dating me. I had better things to do with my time.
I also made a new rule. I was no longer going to try to date flakes who worked at Ralph Lauren. This was the fourth guy who worked there who burned me. I know this sounds petty, but I wasn't about to let it happen again…

We don't often hear of Occupational Health and Safety Act charges against suppliers alleging that their machines or equipment were unsafe for use in workplaces.
In a recent case, Occupational Health and Safety Act charges against a supplier, alleging that a machine that it supplied did not comply with the guarding requirements of that Act, were permitted to proceed to trial before a Saskatchewan court.
The Saskatchewan OHSA, in section 8(a)(ii), imposes a duty on every "supplier" to ensure, insofar as is reasonably practicable, that any "plant" supplied by the supplier for use at any place of employment complies with the regulations under the OHSA. "Plant" is defined to include "equipment".
A regulation under the Saskatchewan OHSA required that, "Where a worker is required to feed material into a material-forming press, punch, shear or similar machine, an employer or supplier shall" install safeguards to prevent the worker from contacting moving parts.
The supplier argued that the the grain extractor was not a material-forming press, punch, shear or similar machine, nor was a worker required to "feed material" into the grain extractor. Rather, according to the supplier, the grain extractor was a moving shaft that attached to a grain bag. The court, however, stated that "No evidence was presented on this point", and that the issue was better left to the trial judge.
This decision illustrates that suppliers – and not only employers and constructors – can have duties under occupational health and safety legislation – duties that can lead to charges and significant fines if breached.
Subsection 31(1) of the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act also places duties on a supplier who "supplies any machine, device, tool or equipment under any rental, leasing or similar arrangement for use in or about a workplace".

My go to guy!
I can't say enough good things about this toy. I could go on and on about him and will. My husband and I love to bring him into our twosome all the time and enjoy every bit of him. He is big and will fill you up and leave you wanting more and more. He stays stiff and is easy to clean and store. If you are a beginner he might be a bit too big or scary to start with, but if you are up for the very enjoyable challenge jump right in. Overall, Jeff Stryker can visit my pussy anytime and does.Published:
For advanced users, BIG, makes you orgasm every time, great for couple play, realistic, stiff

Installed The Latest Changes to Current and......
X crashes and reports a segmentation fault, address nil. I've been using the generic Radeon driver without any problems, until now. Looks like it will be winblows until I figure out the problem. |
After upgraded the X crashed too.
It complained that missing liblzma.so.0, so i made a link to liblzma.so.5 and it worked. other issues of the lastest current update: 1. /dev/shm missing, revert to udev-153 fixed 2. the rc.M script section of gdk-pixbuf2 error g_module_open() failed for /root/--update-cache: /root/--update-cache.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 3. bluetooth mouse not worked, revert former version of bluez fixed |
Managed to get KDE up and running, but all gtk apps show: Code:
error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I tried having a look, only found a directory Code:
$ find /usr/lib64 -name 'gdk*pixbuf*2*' 2>/dev/null |
maybe it would help to
slackpkg install-new |
Installed: gdk-pixbuf2-2.22.1-x86_64-1.txz radeon_ucode-20100902-noarch-1.txz Thanks. |
#install -dv /lib/{firmware,udev/devices/{pts,shm}} For #2, do a #slackpkg install-new would be ok. For #3, I have not test the bluetooth yet... I also notice that the fonts are sharpener than before. Does anyone have the same kind of feeling? |
Synaptics scrolling
After upgrade to current I lost the scroll function of my synaptics touchpad (Thinkpad T41). To fix it:
cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ Code:
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on" And yes, nicer fonts here too :) |
I am using slackware64 current, the gdk-pixbuf2 script still compained after installed.
Please check my blog post http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/huge...-to-my-laptop/ which addresses several of the issues mentioned above. Your issues are caused by incompletely upgrading to slackware-current.
Eric |
Can anyone comment on the font situation with these new updates? The default GTK font changed from actual arial to Liberation Sans, using gtk-chtheme to set it back doesn't work. If arial is selected, it is autotragically (did i just invent that?) changed back to Liberation Sans.
Additionally, monospace 8 is ... different. As if it were really just monospace 9 with less space between the lines; the character sizes look the same. Have a look: http://imgur.com/a/YXIEi/monospace_8__before_and_after Any ideas? |
Mirror in Norway error?
Is there anyone use the Norway mirror of Slackware -current? I used it to update with slackpkg but got a lot of md5 checksum failed. When I change to US mirror, there is no error.
Is that the mirror of Norway error? |
I've had to revert cryptsetup back to the 1.1.0 version as the new version (1.1.3) hangs when doing a luksOpen.
Love the fonts. |
Apparently there's a new dependency from gtk-query-immodules (in gtk+2) to gdk-pixbuf2. You need to get gdk-pixbuf2-2.22.1-i486-1.txz and convert and install it -- Code:
convertpkg-compat32 -i gdk-pixbuf2-2.22.1-i486-1.txz -d /tmp |
convert gtk2 and gdk-pixbuf2 to compat32 packages and upgrade them fix it. Quote:

Are hygiene standards useful in assessing infection risk?
White, Liza F. and Dancer, Stephanie J. and Robertson, Chris and McDonald, John (2008) Are hygiene standards useful in assessing infection risk? American Journal of Infection Control, 36 (5). pp. 381-384. ISSN 0196-6553

We monitored the surface level cleanliness of a five-bedded surgical intensive care unit (SICU) over a ten-week period in order to evaluate proposed hygiene standards.Ten environmental sites within SICU were sampled twice weekly along with collection of clinical and patient activity data. The standards designate aerobic colony counts (ACCs) >2.5cfu/cm2 from hand-touch sites and the presence of Staphylococcus aureus as hygiene failures. Nearly a quarter of 200 samples failed the standards, mostly from hand-touch sites on curtains, beds and medical equipment. The total number of fails each week was associated with bed occupancy (p=0.04), trending towards association with SICU-acquired infections (p=0.11). Environmental S.aureus was associated with the proportion of beds occupied (p = 0.02). Indistinguishable genotypes were found between patient and environmental staphylococci, with timescales supporting staphylococcal transmission in both directions. Hygiene standards based on microbial growth levels and the presence of S.aureus reflect patient activity and provide a means to risk manage infection. They also exposed a staphylococcal reservoir that could represent a more tangible risk to patients. Standards for surface level cleanliness deserve further evaluation.

Help:Model Viewer
The Half-Life Model Viewer (HLMV) is a program used to view and manipulate Source engine models.
As of the update integrating SteamPipe into Team Fortress 2, HLMV is included with the TF2 installation. However, the VPROJECT environment variable must be set to Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf
in order for HLMV to function properly for TF2. There are three ways to do this, only one of which is necessary:
- Set the "VPROJECT" environment variable using your operating system's standard procedures
- Replace
Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin\check_sdk_env.bat
with the following (this option will set VPROJECT properly for all of the other TF2 SDK tools, e.g. FacePoser, as well):
@echo off PUSHD . CD "%~d0%~p0..\tf" SET TEMPPROJ=%CD% POPD if "%VPROJECT%" NEQ "%TEMPPROJ%" ( if exist "%~d0%~p0set_sdk_env.bat" ( call "%~d0%~p0set_sdk_env.bat" ) else ( echo WARNING: VPROJECT not set, and set_sdk_env.bat file not present. pause ) ) else ( echo VPROJECT="%VPROJECT%" )
- Replace
Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin\HLMV.bat
with the following:
@echo off :: Batch file to launch Half-Life model viewer with proper environment :: Launch HLMV echo Starting HLMV... echo Executing "%~d0%~p0hlmv.exe" %* start "" "%~d0%~p0hlmv.exe" -vproject ../tf %*
After performing one of these three options, navigate to Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin
, and run HLMV.bat
. This should automatically open hlmv.exe
A number of options and settings need to be tweaked in order to achieve best performance from the Model Viewer. The program has no GUI-based video settings like the game, so several other steps need to be taken.
Graphics card settings
For ATi/AMD cards, under '3D' in Catalyst Control Center's drop down menu, uncheck "Use Application Settings" in the "AA" section and move the slider to 8x.
For NVIDIA cards, open the "NVIDIA Control Panel" and navigate to "Manage 3D settings" or similar. Add a program-specific setting for hlmv.exe
. The location of this file is:
Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin\hlmv.exe
Ensure that the following settings are enabled:
- Anti-aliasing set to "override" and on highest setting possible
- Texture filtering quality on highest setting possible
The Model Viewer also pulls settings from the config file 'dxsupport.cfg
'. If the graphics card settings above do not work, then this method should still force the Viewer to output with high settings.
- Navigate to this directory:
\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin\
- Open up
in a text editor of your choice. If you do not have this file, create it with the content from here. - Find your graphics card within that file.
- Add or modify the following lines in
within the section for your graphics card and save it, the Viewer should now be using high settings.
"setting.dxlevel" "99" "ConVar.mat_antialias" "8" "ConVar.mat_forceaniso" "8" "ConVar.mat_picmip" "-10"
- If your card isn't listed, go to Control Panel, open Device Manager, find your graphics card under Display adapters section, open Details tab of its Properties and select Hardware Ids. The IDs are 4-character hexadecimal numbers. The Vendor ID is located after VEN_, and the Device ID is located after DEV_.
- Navigate to the bottom of the file, and find the
sections. Choose the one that refers to your graphics card, which will beATI Unknown
if you're using an ATI/AMD graphics card,NVidia Unknown
if using an Nvidia graphics card, orIntel Unknown
if using an Intel graphics card. - Once you have located this, change the lines of the one that match, so that looks like the following:
"VendorID" "0x[Vendor ID from step 5]" "MinDeviceID" "0x[Device ID from step 5]" "MaxDeviceID" "0x[Device ID from step 5]" "setting.dxlevel" "99" "ConVar.mat_antialias" "8" "ConVar.mat_forceaniso" "8" "ConVar.mat_picmip" "-10" "ConVar.mat_motion_blur_enabled" "1"
- Only if your card is an AMD Radeon HD5000 series or above, you may enable "Super-Sample AA" under "3D" in the drop down menu in Catalyst Control Center to further increase image quality when used with the above settings. It is advised to revert "Super-Sample AA" back to "Multi-Sample AA" when you are done using the Viewer, as performance in games will be reduced significantly.
Note: Directly viewing some models will ignore the $colortint_base
attribute (which provides the texture's normal color tint to the model), forcing the model to appear grey or washed out. This can be worked around by extracting the model's VMT and adding a new attribute $color2
with the same value as $colortint_base
Note: To load models, use the (Steam) Load Model...
option. This allows HLMV to access the game's VPK files. Using the other Load Model...
option allows you to load models that are located outside of the game's directory, however.
Model locations
Most models have standard names but others have vague or confusing names. All item model file paths can be found by searching "items_game.txt
" (\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\scripts\items\items_game.txt
) for the item's entry and checking the value of "model_player
Note: You may get issues with HLMV saying it can't find a directory. To fix this, navigate to \Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\
and create the folders that are needed to get to the model you are attempting to get to. Alternatively, you can download and extract this pack, and copy the contents to \Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\
. This will add all the folders to load weapons, cosmetic items and player models correctly, without having any errors (this pack does also contain the Fire Overlay fix and the Cubemap fix).
- Weapons
- The locations for weapon models are as follows:
– holds world models for some of the Stock weapons. -
– holds view models for some of the Stock weapons. -
– holds models for most newer weapons.
Note: There are some discrepancies regarding c_, v_ and w_ models. Previously, all weapons had a world model and a view model that were kept separately. Most newer unlockable weapons, and a number of stock weapons use a single model file (c_model), which is used for both the player's viewpoint and for what other players see you holding. Any weapons that have switched over to the c_model format have mostly had their w_models and v_models versions removed.
Note: Some weapons, such as the 2011 Festive weapons and the Botkiller weapons have parts of the models located in inconsistent places. For example, the older Festive weapons have the attached lights in \models\player\items
, and the Botkiller weapons have the attached heads in the \models\player\items\mvm_loot
- Hats and Miscellaneous items
- Most of models of any Hats and Miscellaneous items that were added before the Robotic Boogaloo update are located in
. Any Hats and Miscellaneous items that were added in or after that update are located in\models\workshop\player\items
- Tools
- The Crate, Paint Can, and Name Tag models are not present in the game files. Efforts to reproduce them in a model form are ongoing.
- Player models
- Player models are stored in the directory of
. There are HWM models (or hardware morphs) stored in\models\player\hwm
. These models are higher-poly versions of the standard models and were used in the creation of the Meet the Team series. For more information about them, see this thread on the Steam Users' Forums.
HLMV stores model positionings and settings inside the registry in separate keys. You can open the registry editor by going to Start > Run and typing in "regedit.exe
". HLMV's directory is "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\hlmv
- Note: Changes made to values in the registry editor will be overwritten if the model is open while the changes are made. You will need to either close HLMV or load a different model while editing values. The values can also be updated while viewing by refreshing the registry editor ('View' > 'Refresh' or 'F5').
Key values
Inside each key are several values, and their uses are listed below:
Value | Description | Type | Default |
aColor | Ambient color | (0.3 0.3 0.3 0) #4C4C4C | |
bgColor | Background color | (0.25 0.25 0.25 0) #3F3F3F | |

Program limitations
- Fire texture
- HLMV applies a fire overlay material to most models. Although not noticeable under most circumstances, it can become particularly apparent when working with models that have dark or black textures.
- There are two methods to remove this effect:
- The more preferred option is to download and extract this texture replacement, and copy the contents to
\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\
. This will replace the default file texture with a 512x512 black material, effectively nullifying the effect for all models. - Alternatively, setting
in the VMT file(s) for the model will achieve to the same end; however, this setting must be enabled manually per model.
- The more preferred option is to download and extract this texture replacement, and copy the contents to
- Cubemaps
- HLMV handles reflective surfaces by using a texture to fake reflections. The default texture is that of a sunrise -- nice, but not quite clean enough for good, readable photos.
- To rectify this, download and extract this texture replacement, and copy the contents to
\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\
. This will replace the reflection with a morose grey, making for more readable photos.

In my local town there are three supermarkets which each has a special deal on some products. If you bought all your shopping in one shop, where would be the cheapest?
Start with four numbers at the corners of a square and put the total of two corners in the middle of that side. Keep going... Can you estimate what the size of the last four numbers will be?
Can you design a new shape for the twenty-eight squares and arrange the numbers in a logical way? What patterns do you notice?

Can the Droid be tethered to a Mac so I can use it as a modem and send attachments like pdf and doc files? Can I view pdf and doc files on the Droid?
:welcome: to the Droid Forums. I have a Mac also, but I have never had an interest in tethering since I have wifi, but I believe it can be done. You would have to have your phone rooted in order to tether. As far as pdf and doc files, probably your best bet is Documents to Go. You can get that in the Market. There are some other apps out there as well for opening these files. Documents to Go cost about 20.00. I think however there may be a sale going on right now so check out the Market. Hopefully somebody else will post about additional apps to open these files.
Thanks for your reply. To clarify, I am trying to make sure the phone can do all I need before I buy. Verizon told me the phone would not tether to a Mach. But since there are times that I would want to upload a file to a client (pdf, doc or jpg) I want to use the phone as a modem. So if the Droid is a wifi device, it sounds like I could connect from my laptop to the phone wirelessly, and not deal with tethering at all. Is that so? Until Apple comes out with the new laptops (hopefully in the next month), I'm running a G4 laptop with OS 10.4.11. Does it seem that this should work?
you can tether your laptop through wifi if you root your droid... check out the hacks section of the forum for details. Otherwise you can use pdanet to tether over usb or bluetooth.

Home Veggie Garden Today
It was sprinkling after work, and a bit too wet to work in the garden, so I walked around and got my work shoes muddy taking pictures of the vegetable garden. I think the rain has stopped, so maybe I can go out for a yard walk and do a little deadheading.
Here is the view from the street:
The entry to the garden is between the 2 lattice fences, next to the bed frame. Some black-eyed Susans and lemon balm have become the volunteer greeters. I had other flowers in the red tub, but somehow some mint got started, and I gave up pulling it out. A wild, yellow blooming snapdragon is in the tub to the right of the entry, where I'm not letting it be invasive in the ground. The area next to the bird bath has larkspur and 4 o' clocks coming up.
A few years ago, Larry made the wooden structure and put sand in it, and maybe some oil or something, to clean garden tools in. He told me you're supposed to use it each time you use your tool. I don't use it that often, but it was nice of him to think of my tools.
The area to the right of the entry has lettuces, spinach, bachelor buttons, etc. The February planted area is in the upper area of the photo.
The next photo was taken turning to the left of the entrance, facing west. I planted some green beans in the bare area a few days ago.
Still facing west, the north part of the garden:
The south half:
The last time I posted on the garden, I couldn't remember what I planted here in the northwest area, and it turned out to be romaine lettuce joining all the other lettuces, spinach, and kale in this area.
A larkspur is getting ready to bloom in the lettuce patch, and in the background are hollyhocks, garlic, sweet peas, a lily, rhubarb, and the compost area.
This sunflower is between the larkspur and garlic. A rabbit has chewed the right leaf.
Since it's been in the 80s, (but the 60s today) the buttercrunch lettuce will probably not get much bigger. I've been picking them this size, and it has been a treat.
These edible pod peas are growing on the fence, and will provide us with a few meals.
The peas on the fence, growing near...
Kohlrabi, which I've never grown before:
and purslane, verbena, and a hollyhock:
Tonight's supper:
10 comments:
Thanks for the comments! I have been enjoying salads every day now. It's the time of the season where I have to wash the lettuce more carefully because of seeds from a nearby tree, and today I found a cutworm (I think) and a couple slugs. There were more rabbit chewed leaves than usual, too.
The lettuce/spinach season will be over in 3 or 4 weeks, so you better come soon!

Journal SatanicPuppy's Journal: Argumentum ad Ignorantiam, we barely knew thee... 10
Finally tossing the old sig, as have had no ID whackjobs to torment with it for a while.
Argumentum ad Ignorantiam:
Fallacy of taking a statement not provably false and implying that it is therefore true
Theists Argument for the Existence of God
There is no evidence against p.
Therefore, p.
Atheists Argument for the Non-Existence of God
There is no evidence for p.
Therefore, not-p.
The whole goal of the culture of science is to use evidence and induction to find the right answer, not to use scientifically useless deductive logic to get into "Nuh-uh!" style pissing contests with people who already "know" the answer.
ad Ignorantiam is one of the more appalling fallacies you see thrown around in the world, because it is assertion based on zero evidence. It's almost always an emotional appeal made to play to the prejudices of the listeners.
So don't fall into the trap; conclusions made with no evidence are worthless.

The Moira Anderson Foundation accepts referrals from Statutory and Voluntary organisations as well as self-referrals. You can make a referral by phone, email or by post. The information we would require in the first instance are details such as the clients name, address, basic background information etc. We can then arrange an appointment for the client or parent/guardian to come into the centre and meet with our Client Support Worker. This appointment can be arranged either through yourself or directly with the client. When the client or parent/guardian comes into the centre to meet with the Client Support Worker, they will be advised of the support available to them. This could be Person Centred Counselling or Thoughtfield Therapy and Youth Counselling or Play Therapy, depending on the age of the client. This will allow the client or parent/guardian to make an informed decision about their support, it will also give the client or parent/guardian the opportunity to discuss any worries of concerns they may have. For adults, we offer eight sessions of counselling/therapy, this may be extended after a review between the client and counsellor/therapist. For children the support we offer is open ended. The therapist will review progress regularly and the sessions will continue for as long as the therapist, child and parent/guardian feel it is beneficial. We operate a waiting list for the therapies, on-going support with our Client Support Worker is available until an appointment for counselling/therapy becomes available. There is no cost to the client involved for the therapy provided, however, if an appointment has to be cancelled, we request at least 24 hours' notice, otherwise the Foundation incurs a cost. Further relevant details can be found by clicking the following links. We facilitate and deliver "Safe Hands" training and workshop programmes, which are aimed at all ages and groups to promote personal safety strategies for everyone.

Woodward at Copper guarantees snow for summer camp, adds mountain bike camps
Photo courtesy Woodward at Copper |
Not ready to let go of the ski/snowboard dream and put that crummy snow season behind you, even weeks after all the resorts have closed? Neither are the coaches at Woodward at Copper, where they're gearing up for summer camps -- and guaranteeing an on-snow experience.
"Believe it or not, the snow is actually looking great for our summer ski and snowboard camp sessions," says Woodward at Copper spokeswoman Erica Pedersen. "We're building up towards kids arriving and pushing a lot of snow around."
Don't believe it? Here's a clip of Jason George -- designer of Westword's Best of Denver 2012 Best Terrain Park -- pushing some of that snow around to make it all happen.
"We've got a full schedule of indoor/outdoor ski and snowboard camps, skateboard camps, digital media camps, a camp experience for adults and, new this year, a freeride mountain bike camp with pro rider Sasha Yakovleff," Pedersen says. "Woodward at Copper is the perfect place to come up and learn some new tricks."
Think summer camp is just for the minor threats? Think again: The first of the ski/snowboard camp sessions, June 12-16, is strictly for grown-ups, ages 18+. Full-week sessions for kids 10+ run from June 17-July 28, and there's a grom session for kids 8-12 from July 29-August 1. There are also skateboard camps from July 1-28 on the bowls and ramps in the Woodward at Copper Barn (ages 10+ with one 8-12 grom session), and the new mountain bike camp session will run from July 7-28. Digital media camps for budding adventure photographers and filmmakers ages 13+ will run from July 1-28.
Week-long Digital Media camps at Woodward at Copper are offered from July 1-28.

"The digital media campers will be learning right alongside the skiers and snowboarders and mountain bikers up on the hill, filming all the pros and the campers," Pedersen says. "We've got great filming and editing equipment for them to learn on, and it's become one of our most popular camps."
In addition to being schooled by the Woodward at Copper coaching staff, you just might learn from some of your favorite pros: "We try to get different sponsors for each week, so the campers will get exposed to different guest coaches, contests and giveaways depending on the session," Pedersen says. Session sponsors include some local crews: The Angry Snowboarder blog is backing Session #1, Never Summer Industries and Pat Milbery's So-Gnar crew are all over Session #2, Sims Snowboards is sponsoring Session #6, and Icelantic is running Session #7.
Pat Milbery and his So-Gnar crew will be running Session #2 at Woodward at Copper, June 17-23

"I'm really stoked we're doing a full takeover session this year," says Milbery, an expert in the art of stoke (So-Gnar is a co-presenter of Snowboard on the Rocks, a Westword Best of Denver 2012 winner for Best Way to Get Stoked for the Season.) "We'll be doing on-snow clinics during the day and hosting some art and skateboard design clinics in the evenings, and we have all kinds of wackiness planned, like So-Gnar water wars in the bumper boats and a big BBQ at The Barn with Coalatree Organics."
Other visiting pros on the schedule for the summer include Erika Vikander, Ian Compton, Garrett Russell, Spencer Link, Nick Sibayan, Tim Durtschi, Forest Bailey, Colby Albino, Bryan Daino, Jeremy Brown, Jaron Stadler, Mason Aguirre and Gretchen Bleiler.
"We rebuilt all of our park features this past winter and have some great things in store for all of our summer campers," Pedersen says. For the full camp schedule and prices, visit WoodwardAtCopper.com. The Barn is also open for daily drop-in sessions from June 9-July 29.

With the rise of the Internet of Things comes an entirely new market of which almost everyone will be a part. Since the amount of money that can be made from the industry is substantial, companies like Cisco are getting in early and pushing the market forward. Earlier this month, Cisco dedicated an additional $150 million to the Internet of Things. Investments like Cisco's are part of the reason why the market will be so significant by 2025.
Impacting Lives
There have yet to be numerous studies looking at the Internet of Things and the potential that it has, which makes the Pew Research Center Internet Project's report so important. While it may be a term that is used on a frequent basis, Internet of Things means something different depending on who you ask. Pew addressed this problem by providing a straightforward definition of the concept.
Pew defined the Internet of Things as "a global, immersive, invisible, ambient networked computing environment built through the continued proliferation of smart sensors, cameras, software, databases, and massive data centers in a world-spanning information fabric."
With that definition, it is easy to see how everyday people will be affected by IoT. The future that Pew sees is one where sensors and cameras are everywhere and they are intelligent enough to respond in a way that will hopefully improve the quality of life for many people. At the same time, greater efficiency comes with a slew of completely new problems.
No Place to Hide
The average American citizen is already well aware of the privacy implications of our connectedness through devices and services like Facebook. However, privacy may be a thing of the past if we let technology get ahead of us.
In the report, college professor Peter Jacoby provided one of bleakest outlooks for privacy advocates.
"The effects will be widespread but pernicious," Jacoby said. "We might as well inject ourselves into the Internet of Things. By 2025, we will have long ago given up our privacy. The Internet of Things will demand -- and we will give willingly -- our souls."
Jacoby's outlook is likely correct considering that the conflict between technology and privacy is already being seen today. At the same time as individuals are fighting back against the National Security Agency because of its data collection, people are sharing massive amounts of data with companies like Google. These privacy issues will simply be amplified by 2025 as companies, insurance providers, and governments receive a constant stream of information from those that decide to be connected.

Surprise in the Mail!
I received a BIG surprise in the mail from my oldest son who lives in CA.
It was packed full of beautiful home decor fabric samples.
Some of the pieces are quite large.
They're not heavy upholstery type fabrics; they're lighter weight.
My mind was just swirling about things I can make as I
pulled out each piece and stroked it, smoothed it, ran my hands
across each piece, and then re-folded it.
Ahhhhh! I love all kinds of fabrics!
What would you make?
Thanks for visiting.

The Arrowhead 135 is recognized in the book "The World's Toughest Endurance Challenges" by Richard Hoad and Paul Moore as one of the 50 toughest races in the world. It is a human powered Ultra Marathon taking place in the coldest part of winter in the coldest city in the lower 48 states. Our average finish rate is less than 50%, the finish rate for new racers is much lower. 2014 finish rate was 35%.
135 miles Deep Winter across Northern Minnesota on rugged, scenic Arrowhead State Snowmobile Trail from Frostbite I-Falls to Tower, MN Fortune Bay Casino. Pick mode of transport at start: bicycle, ski or foot. This is our 12th year, beginning with 10 entrants in 2005 to ~150 starters 2015, featuring some of the best winter ultra-athletes in the world.
Historically coldest gosh darn race anyplace even the Arctic, check average temps, virtually every year luck has us -30 to -40C/F, we have frostbite to prove it. Or it snows and is a sloppy mess! Arrowhead 135 is an organization of local folks dedicated to the promotion of human powered ultra-endurance events across beautiful Arrowhead Region of Northern Minnesota. Our Race Mission is fostering national and international amateur endurance sports such as winter-biking, skiing and trail running.
Goal of organization is to offer, fun, educational, yet challenging ultra-endurance event in extreme trail and weather conditions for economic and health benefit of communities in Northern Minnesota.
Race has costs for permits, insurance, T-shirts, awards, operational costs, etc. but we are hoping to minimize entry fees and break even. Any Profits go to fine Special Operations Warrior Foundation Charity, providing college scholarships to children of US Spec Ops Soldiers killed and wounded, Minnesota Safe Families providing short-term respite to children in need, and the Falls Food Shelf. We also contribute to snowmobile trail maintenance along the Arrowhead Trail.

0Making Sherbet with Homegrown Strawberries
I've been harvesting lots of berries starting in spring through the summer from my modest three by four foot strawberry patch in my front yard, so I was inspired to try them in this easy sherbet recipe. I figured that if I'm going to eat something with sugar and dairy in it, it may as well be made with high quality ingredients, in other words, homegrown and homemade. The 2 cups of berries in this recipe is not a huge amount and very doable for the home garden.
See my version below of a basic recipe I found at Eat Drink Love, and scroll down for a photo of the strawberry bed in my front yard edible landscape.
Making sherbet with milk and a variety of fresh berries is simple and gives spectacular results. Instead of making ice cream, which is incredibly high in dairy fat and eggs yolks as well, I think you'll agree that sherbet is a fantastic alternative. You can use other types of berries too. I've also used fresh berries that we've kept frozen, and in combinations.
Fresh Strawberry Sherbet Recipe
You Will Need
2 cups fresh organically grown strawberries, hulled and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (Myer lemon if available)
2 cups organic whole or low fat milk
½ teaspoon high quality vanilla
Pinch of sea salt
Three Step Strawberry Sherbet Method
- Put all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Chill the mixture until it is very cold for best results (2 or more hours).
- Churn in an ice cream maker, about 20 – 30 minutes until very thick, then freeze 2- 3 hours or overnight.( This works well in my Cuisinart ice cream maker with a well chilled bowl that I keep ready in the freezer, but you should follow specific instructions for your brand of ice cream maker).
Conventionally Grown Strawberries: The Dirty Truth
Eating freshly picked berries is heavenly, since you'll get the best flavor and ripeness. A lot has been written about conventionally grown strawberries because they are notoriously grown with high inputs of fertilizers, pesticides and fumigants, and they don't even taste very good since they are often picked when under-ripe.
By growing your own strawberries you can be sure they aren't laced with pesticide residues and that soil-destroying fumigants weren't used. You can also find organically grown berries at your farmer's market, but unfortunately it's likely that the stock plants were produced by using fumigants and pesticides.
Read more about growing your own strawberries in Eat Drink Better's Becky Striepe's post, and read a peer reviewed scientific study about the advantages of organically grown strawberries versus conventionally grown here.

Mixing your Own Chicken Layer Feed
How about you? Do you mix your own feed? Feed commercial feed -organic or nonorganic? I would like to hear your thoughts.

We get our feed from a store that will mix whatever mixture we want and it comes out to about $15/100 pounds and it is for ALL animals. All of our animals love the feed! I was buying feed for about $25/100 so this is MUCH cheaper!! :)

Do you have any luck getting your ducks to eat something like this? My ducks will only eat pellets. I've tried adding grains and they very neatly eat the pellets and leave the grain behind.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThe ducks do eat it, although what I have been doing is pouring any feed left over at bedtime into a pan for the ducks. At that point pretty much everything is eaten out of it but the layer feed, so they eat that overnight - nothing goes to waste and everyone eats what they want. I have read that seeds can irritate ducks, although I haven't been able to verify it - I think they instinctively stay away from seeds and grains maybe?
ARG! I was cleaning out my fridge tonight and found some old moldy food and tossed it in with the chicken left overs. I hope I didn't kill my ladies! NEVER AGAIN! Also, my hens are 100% free range on about 30 acres. They cover around 15 acres during the day. We also have layer feed in the coup which they do eat. Egg production appears to be ok but I've just been curious if they're getting a balanced diet. I've read mixed opinions. Some say let them eat what they want, and other says stick to a 90% commercial feed diet. They're 23 weeks and 27 weeks and we're getting 4-8 eggs per day and we'll be putting light into the coup in the near future to compensate for the decreased light hours.
