ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 44, July 14, 1995
More on Fixed and Plastic Executables
In last week's newsletter, I described one Craft Fortran program that did not show much of a speedup when compiled as a fixed executable as opposed to a "plastic" executable. Of course, a possible speed improvement is only one benefit from such a switch. Dr. Ming Jiang, a member of the UAF faculty and the ARSC staff sends in this further note:

To check out how much of a size advantage the fixed executable has over the plastic executable, I devised this small program:
parameter( NMAX = 2048 ) real a( NMAX, NMAX ) cdir$ shared a( :, :block ) real pesum( 0:127 ) cdir$ shared pesum( :block ) intrinsic my_pe me = my_pe() call barrier() if( me .eq. 0 ) t1 = second() cdir$ doshared( j ) on a( i, j ) do 10 j = 1, NMAX do 10 i = 1, NMAX a( i, j ) = i + ( j-1 ) * NMAX 10 continue call barrier() if( me .eq. 0 ) t1 = second() - t1 call barrier() if( me .eq. 0 ) t2 = second() pesum( me ) = 0.0 cdir$ doshared( j ) on a( i, j ) do 20 j = 1, NMAX do 20 i = 1, NMAX pesum( me ) = pesum( me ) + a( i, j ) 20 continue call barrier if( me .eq. 0 ) then t2 = second() - t2 sum = 0.0 do 30 i = 0, n$pes-1 sum = sum + pesum( i ) 30 continue w = NMAX * NMAX / 1000000.0 write(6,600)n$pes,w/t1,w/t2,sum,(NMAX*NMAX+1)*NMAX*NMAX/2 600 format( i6, f10.3, f10.3, f20.1, i20 ) endif endThis program has one large two dimensional array of size NMAX*NMAX which contains the integers 1, 2, 3, ... NMAX*NMAX. The program uses as many processors as it can to sum the elements of the two dimensional array and then checks the result with the identity:
1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n = ( n + 1 ) * n / 2By varying the value NMAX, we can see how large a 2 dimensional array is allowed when the program is compiled for a fixed executable. Finding the maximum value for NMAX doesn't require much searching because Craft Fortran requires that the shared array "a" have a leading dimension that is a power of 2. Just for fun, I also computed the speed of the shared initialization loop and summation loop. The table below summaries the results:
Results for plastic and fixed executables on the T3D, sizes and executable times Number of PES 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 Total physical memory 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 (in millions 64 bit words) Compiled as a plastic executable: Maximum Value 2048 2048 4096 4096 8192 8192 16384 16384 for NMAX Size of array "a" 4.2 4.2 16.8 16.8 67.2 67.2 268.4 268.4 (in millions of 64 bit words) Speed of initialization 6.4 12.3 24.7 49.4 103.5 207.1 414.1 828.5 (millions of results/second) Speed of summation 9.8 18.7 37.4 74.9 156.9 313.9 628.0 1255.1 (millions of adds/second) Compiled for a fixed number of PEs: Maximum Value 2048 2048 4096 4096 8192 8192 16384 16384 for NMAX Speed of initialization 6.4 14.2 24.7 49.4 103.5 237.9 475.9 951.3 Speed of summation 9.8 18.7 37.4 74.9 156.8 313.6 627.9 1256.0Because each doubling of NMAX causes a quadrupling of the memory required by array "a", the pattern of largest problems that fits seems to make sense. The use of the -X npes flag shows that the largest problem that physically fits in memory can be solved is solved. And for this problem, the current implementation of compiling a "plastic" executable is as efficient in memory use as compiling for a fixed executable. But as in the last newsletter there is a slight speed improvement for executables targeted for a fixed number of PEs.
There is a significant advantage for the fixed executable in that the size of its a.out is much smaller than of the the plastic executable. For this program, the executable sizes are:
985696 Jul 11 14:21 suma128 <- fixed executable 2189104 Jul 11 14:23 sumb128 <- plastic executableand the size of the fixed executable was the same whatever the value of npes in the compilation command cf77 -X npes ...
On the way to producing the above tables I ran into several interesting error messages:
- Operand Range Error When compiling a problem larger than what will physically fit either as a fixed or plastic executable, there is no error message (Although CRI sells only 8MW nodes, so there is a fixed limit for the case of the fixed executables). Only at execution time does the user get the catch-all "Operand Range Error". Increasing NMAX until this error message appears is how I determined the largest problem that fits.
The fixed limit on PE_PRIVATE arrays If the array "a" is not declared SHARED then it
is a PE_PRIVATE array and will be contained in the memory of each PE. In compiling both the
plastic and fixed executable, the compiler gives a good error message for arrays too large
for a single PE:
2 2. real a( nmax, nmax ) cft77-424 cf77: WARNING $MAIN, Line = 2, File = suma.f, Line = 2 Array "A" exceeds CPU targeted memory size of 8388608 words.
Limit on the size of a shared array There is a compiler limit on the largest shared
array. If the array "a" is shared and NMAX = 262144 (the array "a" is 6872GW) then the
compilation aborts with:
Total size of memory segment 03 exceeds compiler limit. cft77-9 cf77: CFT77 COMPILATION ABORTEDSo the size of a shared array seems to have no real limit except for maybe artifical programs like the "linpeak" benchmark.
Fixed objects take precedence over plastic objects
- When dealing with object files that have been compiled as fixed and plastic, the executable that mppldr produces is always fixed. And mppldr believes the user knows what he is doing, because there is no warning message.
- In the case when the "fixedness" varies among objects, the mppldr knows the user needs
helps and gives an appropriate error message:
/mpp/bin/cf77 -X1 second.f /mpp/bin/cf77 -X128 suma.f second.o -o suma mppldr-302 cf77: WARNING The number of PEs compiled into module 'SECOND' (1) differs from the number of PEs compiled into a prior module (128). mppldr-112 cf77: WARNING Because of previous errors, file 'suma' is not executable.

Alltho he's not a highly recommended seller, goldenarmor.com has a stubby and I believe his packs are 195 'Fraid that's as cheap as they get, unless you scratchbuild it.
Goldenarmor is probably about the least expensive you'll find, but it wouldn't hurt to start a "Wanted to buy" thread in the Cargo Hold on this site to find someone selling one.
Also, there are some great tutorials on this site for making scratchbuilt jet packs.
Also, Mark Bradley makes a pretty affordable pack.
http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...tubby+jet pack
What did you guys use to attach the chest armor>
Go with MLC, trusted seller, great product.
This my chest armor, I made this hand made with a heat gun and rub and buff
Wow really nice for a hand made armor
Well done on the armor! I'm also new here and got a question for ya.
Did you use some kind of pattern or template, if so where did you find it? Also, what did you make it out of?
I have a friend that is a fabricator and I was thinking about asking him to make me a set out of alum. or sheet metal but I don't know the true diminsions of each component.
Good luck on the !
Sorry been busy with life. But it is styrene....I think that is the correct spelling. I bought a 4 x 8 sheet of it about a year ago when I was going to do a RFT helmet costum run. Never the less, the patterns were based on the pics from visual dic. and other pics laying around. Now, I'm bigger then the actor "Tem" so my armor should come out looking correct to my body size.
But I did the patterns out of thick paper and then cut the 1/4 styrene with my band saw. Later with leather gloves on I took a heat gun and started forming the shapes. Then, I sanded them down. 180 grit, then 220 grit and last 400 grit. After that it was all about the rub and buff.
Here is my tip for Rub and buff.
"Use your figures! Spread the past evenly with no build up. You must lay a even smooth base first! Once it is even with no build up or low point with not enough product. Then with a soft cloth gently buff the shine in only when it is even."

Very nice work! One little suggestion: ya may wanna round off the inner corners of the neck piece (closest to the neck.) It should look more curved rather than square. You may have to add some styrene to do that. Other than that, I gotta say you've made quite some progress.
Agreed! I didn't have a great shot of it but a bud of mine Jim sent some good clean shots
I need a girth belt but I'm low on the green. So, I might try to do my bolo braid with my leather skills. I've seen the rope used on some costumes does anyone do this here?
Oh! It seems that the shin and thigh guards are connected to the jump suit but is there a trick to keep it close to the leg?
Next on my list...gauntlets, knee guards, then Jet pack!
Thank a ton guys!
The armor looks really nice though I have to agree with Jimmy Buffett. You may want to contact Cruzer if you need a girth belt, his work is simply amazing.
From what I believe I think the shin and thigh guards use elastic straps that go into the jumpsuit and wrap around the legs. I could be severely wrong regarding that of course.
Contact Asok for the Jango knees, I've used them and they're great. Great price too. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=19648
For the thigh armor, you can use snaps or velcro to keep it on the suit. The next thing to do is make sure the holster's leg straps go over the thigh armor. The holster straps will keep the armor close to the leg.
The shin armor can be snapped or velcro'd, but some people also use elastic straps hidden through the leg of the jumpsuit.
Nice Jango helmet too.

Wow! I like to get those Knee guards but I have to watch the green, if you know what I mean. I think I can swing it with those knee guards it's the girth belt that I'm looking at. Plus, I think I'm I can handle the gauntlets and Jet pack as well.
Just the girth belt...so close yet so far!....
Does anyone know where I can get a loan for this stuff.
what are you looking to pay for a stubby JP :jet pack? I just got my MLC2 standard and am "considering" selling my arena pack. it's fully painted.
Good luck Rob, good to see you at CIV.
I have my 1st leather girthbelt available. I made a second one, the first was a little too short in length. I also have a used JD cod and my 1st version holsters. I now use Cruzer's holsters. Pic shows the cod (no longer attached) holsters (tight fit on MR's) and girth.
Hey everyone, how do I keep the Rub and Buff from rubbing off to everything else?
Last edited by Robeewankenobe; Jun 14, 2007 at 11:01 AM.
LOL! you don't 1st of all, let it sit once you're done and don't f with it for a couple days or a week or two if you can stand it. give it a chance to harden up. it'll still wear a bit and rub off a bit but not so much.
BTW, the girth is 35" from edge to edge. Leave the space in the back and it's good up to 35". Has 3 holes in the center ( used to keep ammo belt in place) that will be covered by your ammo belt. Leathyer backed with snaps on the inside for holsters, if you don't want the holsters, just pull the leather/snap off the inside. They are glued to the backing.
Also, strap the knees and shins throught the suit. Chicago screw your holsters to your thigh armor. Keeps everything in place and you won't have to strap the thighs on, they'll be held in place by your holsters. Cruzer does it this way and I copied it from him. The leather drop leg holster straps will keep the whole set up in place. I would recommend using snaps on the leg armor instead of velcro.
Very cool! Thanks a ton!!!! I was thinking of attaching the holsters to the thigh armor but didn't know if I should do so to the legs.
Thanks again!
Jango 5204, I PMed you.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University has joined the Engagement Scholarship Consortium (ESC), an international organization consisting of state/public and private higher education institutions with a broad scholarly agenda to advance university-community efforts.
"Iowa State University is a welcome addition to the Engagement Scholarship Consortium," said Hiram E. Fitzgerald, ESC president and associate provost for university outreach and engagement at Michigan State University. "ISU's vision of faculty and student engagement adds to our collective efforts to promote and advance successful engagement scholarship initiatives in higher education."
The ESC is composed of universities that work collaboratively to promote strong university-community partnerships that are anchored in the rigor of scholarship and designed to help build community capacity. The Consortium, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit educational organization, actively seeks membership to include state/public and private higher education institutions from across the U.S., Canada, and the world.
Iowa State University became the nation's first land-grant institution when the Iowa General Assembly awarded it the state's land-grant charter in 1864. Iowa State pioneered the nation's first extension service and remains a leader in realizing the promise of the land-grant vision.
Iowa State is a comprehensive research university of international stature with more than 33,000 students from 50 states, and 106 countries. Iowa State offers approximately 100 undergraduate degree programs and nearly 200 fields of study leading to graduate and professional degrees. The university has earned the prestigious Carnegie Foundation classification for high research activity and the foundation's community engagement classification.
"Consortium membership supports Iowa State's efforts to expand the vision of outreach and engagement to one that more fully values engagement scholarship and reciprocal relationships with communities," said Iowa State University President Steven Leath. "We have extraordinary opportunities to capitalize on the land-grant mission by placing value on scholarly relationships between the university and communities to improve quality of life and address complex issues."
Cathann Kress, Vice President for Extension and Outreach, will serve as Iowa State's ESC institutional representative.
ESC member institutions collaborate in the development and delivery of programs and educational resources that support the creation and advancement of knowledge underlying successful engagement scholarship initiatives in higher education.
Iowa State University has a six-member delegation participating in the ESC annual meeting at Texas Tech University Oct. 8-9.

Box Score
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Top ranked Penn State (30-2) hit .587 en route to a sweep of Binghamton (13-18) in a NCAA Tournament first round volleyball match on Friday night at Recreation Hall. The Nittany Lions won 25-11, 25-3, 25-9, advancing to a second-round match against Bowling Green in the process. The visiting Bearcats, meanwhile, concluded the season with their third NCAA Tournament appearance since 2005.
In 63 attack attempts, Penn State registered 40 kills and committed just three attack errors. In addition, the Nittany Lions turned in 12 service aces. Individually, Deja McClendon finished with 12 kills while Micha Hancock added 10 service aces and 33 assists.
Facing off against the Nittany Lions for the third time in NCAA Tournament action, Binghamton was led by senior outside hitter Iva Partaleva's six kills and junior defensive specialist Xiomara Ortiz's seven digs. Junior outside hitter Grace Vickers and senior middle hitter Alex Roland each added three kills.
Binghamton hung tough for the first part of the opening game, trailing by just 10-8 at one point. Partaleva had four kills and sophomore setter Amanda Dettman added three assists during that stretch.
From there, however, Penn State took command with an 11-1 run en route to the 25-11 victory. The Nittany Lions recorded a blistering .692 attack percentage in game one, recording 19 kills and just one attack error.
The floodgates opened up in the second game as the Nittany Lions scored the first 20 points. The Bearcats stopped the bleeding by scoring three of the next five points but Penn State closed out the game with two more unanswered points.
Hancock was the star of game two, nailing six service aces and dishing out seven assists. The Nittany Lions as a team hit .500, with eight kills and no attack errors. Binghamton, by contrast, was unable to record a kill.
Once again, the Nittany Lions opened up a huge lead to start the third game, scoring the opening 13 points. Hancock turned in a pair of service aces and five assists during that span. Binghamton played even with Penn State the rest of the game but the final three points belonged to the Nittany Lions.
Binghamton, which won its third America East title two weeks ago, will return 10 out of its 12 players next season.
NOTES: Roland becomes just the second Binghamton volleyball player to compete in two NCAA Division I Tournament matches during her career. She also competed in the 2009 first-round match against Penn State. The other Bearcat player to play in a pair of NCAA Tournament matches was Brianna Strong (2005 and 2009).

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Aug 7, 2013.
Regardless of the listing, I think that Drummond is actually shooting 100% from the free throw line.
So here's what I see: PG: Jennings - Bynum SG: Pope - Stuckey SF: Smith - Singler PF: Monroe - Chaz C: Drummond - Harrellson I like it! If everybody can do what they're supposed to do. The ifs. If Jennings will cut back on the And-1 streetball stuff. If Jennings will stop chucking. If Jennings' jumper becomes more consistent. If Jennings will fight through the pick and roll. If Jennings will hustle on Defense. If KCP can start making shots. If Stuckey can keep up the good play. If Smith will stop launching from the perimeter. If Smith will start rotating out to challenge shooters. If Singler can play at his best for 82 games..........ie make shots and defend. If Monroe will defend the PCM and roll better and stop yelling at the refs so much. If Chaz......why even bother. If Drummond keeps developing his jump hook and get shoot 50% from the line. If Harrellson can keep doing what he's doing.
I wish we had 5 Jorts, so we could play an all Jorts lineup.
Yes, I can see how "Lee wants to get rid of them" is confusing.
Sounds like mob lingo.
So I'm on record as being HIGHLY critical of Brandon Jennings (yeah I know, that an understatement...but hey, I'm not nearly as disgusted with his PG play as I was the other Brandon's), but over the last 5 games here are his stats: 38.4 MPG (An Iron Man) 46.2 FG% (Super efficient and a HUGE leap in % for him) 43.5 3FG% (Impressive) 16.2 PPG on only 13 shots/game. 8.6 Asts and 3 Rebs/game Now the bad: shooting 73.3% from the FT-line and averaging 4.4 TO's/game Brandon has been impressive, under control (save for a few TO's) and limiting the Chucks. If the kid can cut down on the dribbling, take a little bit better care of the ball and knock down his ft's at a better rate.......I'll be THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED......although does that really mean anything?
You're a tough critic. It means a lot to me.
73.3% makes him the guy on this team you want to make sure gets the ball when you know the other team is going to foul.
You are a good person.
You're not helping Ernie!
So the more I look at this team play the more I think you have to make a conscious effort to limit the amount of time that Dre and Moose play together. If Dre plays 34 mpg, that's 14 minutes where Moose should be playing Center with SMITH (not Jorts, JJ or Chaz) at PF. My point, Moose and Dre should NEVER be on the bench at the same time. The problem with this......with both of them starting and Dre playing SOOOOO well as of late it's kind of hard to take him off the court early in the first qtr.
I agree.
Not as much growth as the incredible growing Amir Johnson. It's classic Dumars. He understands how to stroke his fan base. There's a reason that Dre is listed at 6'10, even though that's his height in bare feet. If he sucked for a year or two, then he would need to grow a bit. He'll be 7'0 when he signs his next deal.
Goal, Smith playing 8 minutes at shooting guard, Pope 40. And Stuckey at backup point for 16 minutes, Jennings 32 minutes there. Mitchell plays heavily. Jorts plays a large role. Siva is the emergency point. No role for Bynum, Billups, JJ, Singler, Datome, CV. Start Jennings, Pope, Smith, Monroe, Drummond At 4 minutes left in the quarter, bring in Harrellson for Drummond, Mitchell in at small forward. Smith moves over to shooting guard to spell Pope. Stuckey comes in for Jennings. Monroe stays out there at power forward. The unit for the last four minutes of the 1st, and 3rd quarters: Stuckey, Smith, Mitchell, Monroe, Harrellson. Harrellson steps outside to draw off a big. Mitchell is in for rebounding. Monroe is our main scoring threat, although Stuckey is a close second. If they take their eye off Smith, he cuts or drives in. To start the 2nd, and 4th, quarters: Stuckey, Pope, Mitchell, Smith, Drummond. Middle four minutes of 2nd and 4th quarters: Jennings, Pope, Mitchell, Monroe, Harrellson. Last 4 minutes of the first half, and the game: Jennings, Pope, Smith, Monroe, Drummond. For minutes, that is: Jennings 32, Stuckey 16, Pope 40, Smith 40, Mitchell 24, Monroe 40, Drummond 32, Harrellson 16 I believe enough games will end in large leads for us, to where we would not have to actually play our guys quite this many minutes. PS, why Stuckey at point: He does all his best work with the ball. Indeed, according to 82games.com, he wins the PER battle vs. his opponent 39.6 to 10.4 as a point guard. He does ok at shooting guard too, but just wins out 16.4 to 14.6.
Starting unit: Smith Jorts Mitchell Monroe Drummond Play to our strengths and go huge. Smiths is able to play PG with his passing skills. Jorts can stretch the floor at SG. Mitchell brings hustle and rebounding at SF. Our bigs as bigs. This unit have a massive size advantage. Bench unit: Siva Bynum Pope Singler Jerebko When the opposition adapts to our big lineup the appropriate counter-strategy is to go small and blow by their slow players. Siva and Bynum combines for a very quick back court. The movement of Pope and Singler will confuse any SF/PF combination in the L. If Popes shot isn't falling, play Stuckey at SF. Jerebko grabs the offensive boards at C. This unit have a massive speed advantage.
From the Pistons Happenings thread This should definitely be given a try, if Josh would be up for it Drummond Monroe Singler (I would prefer maybe JJ, or Gigi if he could hit a shot but that will never happen) KCP Jennings then Monroe Smith Singler Stuckey Jennings then Harrelson/Drummond Smith JJ Stuckey Chauncy The article makes an interesting point, that Monroe is actually holding PFs below the league average on D. I agree with the article that he is a better defender at PF than just getting dominating in the block by the big Cs. For the life of me though, I can't understand why we have moved away from running the offence through him. He continues to be our most consitent scorer when we go to him and his passing on the elbow could be a real asset. The one thing he needs to work on though to really be good in this area would be setting picks.
Because when we run through him high post/elbow, the defense sags because the fat dancing kid is more likely to hit a shot and we end the possession with a Josh Smith contested 3. Ugly. Plenty of people have said this before, but if Monroe adds that 15-18 foot jumper the team will be a lot better. He doesn't have to turn into Chris Bosh or anything like that. Just hit league average from that area, and people can't dare him to shoot.
I do have a bad memory and will happily be proven wrong on this, but I think that mid range jumper has actually been a lot better this year. He has taken less of them but I would think he has made a lot more. Just watching the games, the only time I have felt uncomfortable watching him take one is if he has already missed a bunch of FTs (as he did against the Pelicans).
I don't care which one starts or comes off the bench. But we need one of them to come off the bench. Not sure Josh or Moose could make the adjustment.
It is looking better this year. This is 2012-13: And this is what it looks like so far this year: But, the season is young...

Archaeans dine on a variety of substances for energy, including hydrogen gas, carbon dioxide and sulfur. One type of salt-loving archaean uses sunlight to make energy, but not the way plants do it. This archaean has a light-harvesting pigment in the membrane surrounding its cell. This pigment, called bacteriorhodopsin (back-tear-ee-oh-row-dop-sin), reacts with light and enables the cell to make ATP, an energy molecule.

CHAPEL HILL - North Carolina (16-8, 6-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) will try to snap a two-game losing streak when it hosts Virginia (18-6, 8-3 ACC) on Saturday at noon in the Smith Center. Carolina is coming off losses at Miami and at Duke in the last week, dropping the Tar Heels into a tie for fourth place in the conference with NC State at 6-5.
The ACC Network will televise the game regionally. Steve Martin (play-by-play) and former Tar Heel player and assistant coach Eddie Fogler (analyst) will have the call. Online, fans can watch the game via WatchESPN at http://es.pn/mbb-UVAvsUNC (blacked out in the ACC footprint) and in the official ACC app and online within the ACC footprint at http://www.theacc.com/live.
Virginia is riding a three-game winning streak into the Smith Center this weekend and has won seven of its last eight ACC games after losing back-to-back contests at Wake Forest and at Clemson in a four-day stretch a month ago.
Saturday's game will include several special recognitions in the Smith Center in addition to the game itself, including honoring 2012 Patterson Medal winners (top male and female student-athletes at UNC) Tyler Zeller and Katelyn Falgowski of the field hockey team during pregame and officially honoring Zeller's jersey in the Smith Center rafters at halftime.
In addition to Zeller, former Tar Heel players Lennie Rosenbluth, Tyler Hansbrough, Kendall Marshall and John Henson are expected to attend the game. Current NBA players Hansbrough, Marshall, Henson and Zeller (back in Chapel Hill during the NBA All-Star Game weekend festivities) will be introduced to the crowd during a timeout in the second half, and the UNC women's tennis team that won the ITA Indoor national championship earlier this week will be recognized at a timeout in the first half.

Hi Carlos
As LoopMash is my main app, I have a vested interest in its development
So anyway here is some more suggestions to the list
1. Quicker scene changes are a real must. I quite often get a lag, and miss a beat when changing scenes, even if I am right on cue. I notice this in particular if a scene has different loops from the scene before.
2. Great sensitivity when activating the current effects. Sometimes I get lag and miss a scratch even when I am on cue/ on time. The other thing is I find that when you beat repeat you have to release the beat repeat button a beat earlier than you intend to. I find that I really have to practice this to get it right, especially when bouncing to a desktop.
1. It would be great to remote control the filter/flange with an on/off button from the effects panel. At the moment, if I want to use the filter, I create a dedicated scene, because it is a pain to swipe down, then right, then right again to activate the filter/flange, and then swipe left, left and up to change a scene. It deters me from using this awesome feature.
2. A play button in the scene/effects page.
3. More effects. Especially, reverb, delay.
4. And finally for live use, on the save/load preset page, it would be awesome having a LOAD page that shows a scene shot of that particular preset. The idea of this is that, when you are playing a preset and you want to load up a new one, you can select the scene you want to drop into without having to rely on whatever scene that you last saved as a preset on. One of the many things I love about LoopMash is the ability to load up a new preset seamlessly. Even better still, a LOAD page that has a cross fader!!!!
I will shut up now
Thanks again

Posted by Suresh Vittal on December 22, 2010
Teradata announced today that it was entering into an agreement to acquire Aprimo, a privately held enterprise marketing platform company, with a strong focus on Campaign Management and Marketing Resource Management (MRM). Coming on the heels of the acquisition binge by IBM who acquired Unica, Coremetrics, and a bunch of other analytics and data management companies, we can safely say that marketing automation and campaign management solutions are up for grabs.
I was briefed by Teradata and Aprimo executives on the rationale for the acquisition. They expect the deal, valued at US$525 million, to close in Q1 2011. Now this is an even greater premium than IBM paid for Unica. So besides this being a very happy holiday season for Aprimo executives and the board, what does this mean for marketers, CI professionals, and competitors? Here's my take on the deal:

Tripp Research makes compact mags in .40, you might have to wait a while as if I recall they are built to order in .40 (you said it yourself, it's odd ball), but they are good quality. I had some of those mags for my Kimbers in .40 and the mags were good to go. Tripp Research has changed around their website, you will probably have to call / email them:

Spend your Winter Holiday in the Roman Empire
Take the whole family back in time on a trip to the Roman Empire of 2000 years ago. Visit the Glyptotek's Roman Children's Workshop, and make your own gladiator's sword or a Roman dice, or a pouch to put the dice in.
In the Children's Workshop you can be made up as a Roman emperor, deadly gladiator with impressive scars or a fine Roman lady. Here you will meet friendly staff, who can tell you stories from Ancient Rome and answer questions about long ago days in the Roman Empire. You can also play dice games from ancient times together with your family.
Family visits to the Glyptotek
The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is always worth a visit for children and grownups who enjoy exciting experiences with art. At the museum you can explore Northern Europe's largest collection of ancient art, check out a collection of works by world-famous Impressionists or visit one of the short-term special exhibitions. Plan your visit and bring the whole family.


text: Why? what did that old hack say? Anyway, I think some trades might be good for the Shock. I think the one person that really need to go is Braxton. She's the most inconsistent player in the league.I think sending Braxton to New York with someone there on that roster, maybe for Cathrine Kraayeveld or even Leilani Mitchell and someone else. Obviously Teasley and Kelly are goners. Hornbuckle needs to learn from Katie Smith like how Zealous did in just one year. She needs to learn on how to play the point guard position because she turn the ball over than all of the NBA players combine. McWilliam is a real question mark on whether this might be her last year here. She might retire because she's getting up there in age but I think she shouldn't. She should stay on. If Smith and Pierson are ready to go at the start of next year then it's going to be another Championship year. This was a close game. It was no where near a slaughter like how the Piston played against LeFraud during the Playoff. My compliment to the ladies on fighting the good fight but damn it they could have won it if Smith and Pierson are in full health. Indiana got lucky, they're like the Silverstar from last year, just pure luck. Indiana is going to get slaughter, just you wait. I won't be watching because my team is not playing.

FN FAL G1 Parts Kit, Belgian made $250.00
Original Belgian manufactured 7.62 FN FAL G1 metric parts kit.
The kits are complete less the barrel and receiver.
These guns may have had parts replaced over their years in service so they may vary slightly from the pictured image.
These kits were manufactured in the late 1950's and were delivered to Germany as the G1 FAL rifle.
These kits have low sights, and a removeable slotted flash hider.
Germany had a number of small design changes made to improve the FAL rifle before they adopted what in 1956 became the G1 Fal.
Those improvements are present in these rifle kits.
We have metric FAL barrels that will fit these kits available separately.
Our used barrels are made to mount only the front sling swivel, and have left hand threads at the muzzle.
These and many other kits/parts/barrels/magazines are available for sale on our web site.

Like many of the new breed of user-installable, smartphone-controlled home tech products, the WiFi-connected Philips Hue lighting kit has high geek/novelty appeal. After all, it's a color-changing, LED light bulb package you can program from a smartphone. But beyond its remote on/off and scheduling functions you'll need to get really into the extended features--like geofencing and IFTTT support--to make this kit worth $199 (AU$249 for those in Australia).
Those features won't appeal universally, but they will have their niche fans. What house party DJ or dorm room Lothario wouldn't love an automated, multihued mood-setter? For the hyper-connected, setting the lights to blink with every retweet could also be a draw. By smartly allowing the public to make its own apps for the Hue, Philips has also left the doors of possibility wide open.
Even if you don't appreciate the Hue's advanced features now, someone might one day write an app for it that perfectly fills some unrealized need. I wouldn't recommend the Philips Hue Connected Bulb kit if all you want is basic remote lighting controls, but it's a reliable, mostly easy-to-use choice if you want to inject some intelligence into your home lighting scheme.
The Philips Hue Connected Bulb Starter Kit includes three LED light bulbs and the Hue Bridge. The Bridge is a hub that plugs directly into your wireless router and translates signals between your Wi-Fi-connected smartphone and the ZigBee-based bulbs.
You might wish Philips had found a way to eliminate the Bridge, like the purely Wi-Fi-based Lifx bulbs or Bluetooth-based iLumi. Those bulbs cost $89 and $79 a piece, respectively, which means that Philips' ZigBee-based solution, ($59 per when you buy them individually), seems to impart some cost savings. You can always pick up an extra-long Ethernet cable and hide the Bridge in a closet somewhere if you find it unsightly. If you think you'll expand into other connected home products like a Sonos system, or a smart lock or two, keep an eye on the forthcoming multidevice controller hubs that support Hue, like the one included with the
Once you've connected the Bridge and installed a few bulbs, you simply download and install the free Philips iOS or Android app, which will then prompt you to hit the Bridge's sync button. The app, Bridge, and bulbs should all find each other a few seconds later. Since the Hue kit has been on the market since fall 2012, you might receive a Bridge with outdated firmware. You can use the app to check, but you might also need to cycle the power once or twice before you get an accurate reading.
The official Hue app is not the most intuitive piece of software. Its primary screen displays a grid of preset lighting schemes ("recipes," per Philips) designed for all three light bulbs. Some recipes, like Reading, or Concentration, trigger familiar, utilitarian shades of white and yellow light. Others -- Sunset, Deep Sea, Kathy (?) -- dip into the spectrum of 16 million colors available to the Hue.
Select any of those presets and your bulbs will change almost instantly. Selecting also launches an onscreen brightness slider, framed by buttons to edit the preset, and to turn it off. Philips will let you monitor lights, adjust their brightness, and turn them on or off remotely once you've signed up and logged into the Web-based client. To make new presets or edit existing ones, you have to be on your home network.
Editing and creating new presets is where the Philips app experience can become cumbersome. Philips has spread the various customization functions across different sections of the app. The settings icon presents you with a simple, per-bulb color selection tool. But when you go to make a preset lighting scheme, Philips only lets you assign colors by choosing them from a reference image file. You can pull images from your photo library, or capture them in the app directly, or even download them from Philips' Web site, but without that source image, you have no way obvious way to assign a particular shade to a preset.
Once you do pick a color set, the app lets you assign specific behaviors easily enough. iOS users currently have more-robust options here than their Android-based counterparts (Philips says it's working on tying app development schedules more closely together.)

With a big splash, we recently launched a significant idea and theme for eBusiness & Channel Strategy professionals for 2011 and beyond called agile commerce. In the report "Welcome To The Era Of Agile Commerce," we highlight how customers no longer interact with companies from a "channel" perspective; instead, they interact through touchpoints. As a result, eBusiness & Channel Strategy professionals have to leave their channel-oriented ways behind them and enter the era of agile commerce -- optimizing their people, processes, and technology to serve today's empowered, ever-connected customers across touchpoints.
Since its launch, we've received some excellent feedback from clients and thought-leaders, validating agile commerce. We've also interviewed three executives in our ongoing series about how agile commerce is affecting their clients and how they are positioning themselves to support the transition to agile commerce. Please continue to visit our community and our blog to share with us your perspective on how agile commerce is affecting your business. Do you see the signs of this disruption in your business? Is your organization evolving to sell and service customers seamlessly across touchpoints? What organizational models and technology decisions are you making to optimize your commerce efforts across touchpoints?

Reviews of this property
Luminoso open space sito al piano terra di una tranquilla palazzina. Siamo stati molto felici! L'appartamento è organizzato perfettamente: tosta pane, fornellino, tv, pc, biancheria, lavatrice, detersivi, aspirapolvere e molto altro. Abbiamo trovato anche una cartellina piena di piantine, idee, consigli, per cosa visitare e dove mangiare. Il posto macchina è assegnato e direttamente nel giardino condominiale dove vi è una rastrelliera con 2 biciclette private a disposizione gratuitamente. La zona è molto silenziosa, a ridosso della pineta, il viale del mare si raggiunge con una breve passeggiata e anche i supermercati si raggiungono in poco tempo. I proprietari sono stati molto gentili e disponibili. Lo consigliamo vivamente :) Laura e Andrea
Apartment ist sehr gut eingerichtet,eingerichtet mit allem was man für die Küche braucht , sowie andere Utensilien im Bad etc.. Standort ist sehr zentral, eine sehr ruhige Wohnanlage mit sehr netten Hausbewohner.

Ruben Blades
Inspired by the doo wop singing of Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, Blades began singing North American pop and rock songs in his early teens. In 1963, he became the lead singer of a band, the Saints, formed by his older brother, Luis. The political upheaval in Panama during the mid-'60s had a profound effect as Blades became increasingly committed to his own roots, refusing to sing in any language but his native Spanish.
While studying law at the University of Panama, Blades continued to be involved with his music, singing with Conjunto Latino and Los Salvajes del Ritmo. In 1968, an album he recorded with Bush and the Magnificos reached Joe Cuba's producer in New York. Invited to join Cuba's band, he declined in order to complete college. When the Panamanian government closed the university, he made his first trip to the United States. While in the U.S., Blades recorded an album, From Panama to New York, with Pete Rodriguez. Shortly after the album's release, the University of Panama was reopened and Blades returned to complete his undergraduate studies. Although he accepted a position as a lawyer for the Bank of Panama, following his graduation, he returned to the U.S., to visit his parents, who had emigrated to Miami, in 1974.
While in the United States, Blades traveled to New York and took a job in the mailroom of the Latin-oriented Fania record label. A year later, he replaced Tito Allen as featured vocalist in Ray Barretto's band, auditioning in Fania's mailroom. When Barretto left to form a Latin fusion group, Blades took over as bandleader and renamed the group Guarare. In 1975, Blades composed and sang lead on Barretto's recording "Canto Abacua," featured on the album Barretto. As a result, Blades was named Composer of the Year by Latin New York magazine. Blades had also been playing with Willie Colón's band, and he remained with Colón for six years. Their collaboration reached its apex with the three-million-copy-selling album Siembra, which included the single "Pedro Navaja," the biggest selling single in salsa history. Blades' politically oriented lyrics were not universally accepted. In 1980, his song "Tiburon," which spoke out against superpower intervention in the Caribbean, was banned from radio airplay in Miami.
Forming his own band, Los Seis del Solar, in 1982, Blades began to perform an exciting fusion of Latin, rock, reggae, and Caribbean music. Their debut album, Buscando América, was released in 1983. A year later, Blades enrolled in the graduate school at Harvard University, eventually receiving a master's degree in international law.
Since the early '80s, Blades has balanced his musical career with acting and writing songs for such films as The Last Fight, Crossover Dreams, Critical Condition, Fatal Beauty, The Milagro Beanfield War, Dead Man Out, Disorganized Crime, The Lemon Sisters, The Two Jakes, Predator 2, One Man's War, The Josephine Baker Story, Crazy From the Heart, Color of Night, A Million to Juan, Scorpion Spring, and The Devil's Own. Blades shared the title role, with Marc Anthony, in Paul Simon's Broadway musical The Capeman.
Blades, who lives in California with his actress wife Lisa Lebenzon, has remained active with politics. The founder of a new political party in Panama, he ran for president of Panama in 1994, coming in second in the election. While much of Blades' repertoire is in the Spanish language, he recorded an English-language album, Nothing But the Truth, featuring songs by Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, and Sting, in 1988.
The 1990s were relatively busy ones for Blades musically, and he released several albums, including Ruben Blades y Son del Solar...Live! (1990), Caminando (1991), Amor y Control (1994), La Rosa de los Vientos (1996), and Tiempos (1999) before stepping back a bit in the first decade of the 21st century, releasing Mundo in 2002, the Live! In Concert DVD in 2006, and De Panama a Nueva York in 2008. ~ Craig Harris

Press Release – 21.02.2012
Icelandic version
Council of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission publishes new report on Iceland
Strasbourg, 21.02.2012 - The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) today published a new report on Iceland. ECRI's Chair ad interim, François Sant'Angelo, said that, while there have been positive developments, issues of concern remain, such as the delay in granting permission for Muslim communities to build mosques and some gaps in the anti-discrimination legislation, including the lack of an anti-racism body.
The Government adopted its first ever Policy on the Integration of Immigrants and developed an Action Plan on Immigrant Issues. New legislation in the field of education helps pupils whose mother tongue is not Icelandic. Safeguards have been introduced so that immigrant women are not forced to stay in abusive or violent relationships for fear of losing their right to stay in Iceland. Efforts have been made to improve the asylum system and special safeguards for unaccompanied minors have been introduced.
However, Iceland has not established a specialised body to combat racism and discrimination based on "race", colour, language, religion, nationality or national or ethnic origin. While the conditions for citizenship now include passing Icelandic language tests, funding for language classes for foreigners has been cut. Pupils of immigrant background have a significantly higher drop-out rate from secondary school than Icelandic pupils. Hate speech against Muslims is diffused on a private television channel and on the Internet. The provisions of the Act on Foreigners concerning prohibition of expulsion or return of refugees (non-refoulement) are not in line with international standards.
In its report, ECRI has made a number of recommendations to the authorities, three of which require priority implementation and will be revisited by ECRI in two years' time:
The report is available here. It was prepared following ECRI's contact visit to Iceland in April 2011 [press release 12.04.2011] and takes account of developments up to 23 June 2011.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, colour, citizenship, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.

Well it woulda been done had i not just painted my ROTJ lid, gaunts, armor, jetpack, and weathered everything else, and repainted an ESB lid...which i kinda want to repaint again
@Mandalorian Guard Asok makes the helmet, and i make them beautiful.
@Fett 4 Real how do you mean "stained?" are there some spots that are lighter and some darker? if you have a macro lens option on your camera could you take a pic (or just a really high rez camera, then crop a section out with the detail you're talking about) for me to see, then i'll give it my best guess.
Fett 4 Real, I had a spot that had a little variation in the cold cast but when I polished it with aluminum polish the spots became almost invisible. Have you put down any polish?
I got rid of it mostly got a mouse and sanded the **** out of it more tonight! there is one spot there was a bubble of the regular resin in guess im gonna need to touch it up with silver paint
edit found that u use bonda platic metal! Will look for it and these look better than the actual helmet as far as shinyness goes
Last edited by Fett 4 Real; Aug 5, 2010 at 9:08 AM.
No idea what rub and buff is brother...but I read saint nastys other thread and im gonna grab some bondo plastic metal for it....its a tiny bubble on the right side of the helmet maybe 1/8 inch on the seam where the visor area meets the dome....helmets a little better now, using the mouse is working need to get the cheeks and back panels done with 800 now
this is rub 'n buff: http://www.amazon.com/Rub-N-Buff-Fin.../dp/B00081G2HG
and here's a video with the basics of using rub 'n buff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rItYKAEbt90
hey bud with that krylon small can how do you manage to get it smooth? This stuff is spraying pretty dusty and not laying smooth at all kinda irritating
they look super good!
So i guess its cause i used rustoleum primer...reading a little i found that krylon over rustoleum doesnt work well cruzer said something about a super light coat then go back a day later with the real paint to get the right effect....gonna go find the rub n buff today as well i think
@fett 4 real how bad is the ding that got down into the regular resin? and where is it? i've gotten a couple of those while working on these helmets but they're always in places that are easily covered with weathering.
Is it me or do the two lids look different in size?
ok, here we go, got them all finished painted. but enough introduction, let's just get to the pics. squirk's helmet is on the right, tk2280 on the left
A tear, just ran down my face
Nice job, especially on the painting and weathering! Is this a scratch built helmet or did you purchase it online?
See post #26.
the helmets are made by asok, a member on these boards, and i take them from the raw state, as seen in the first post and turn them into works of jango art like in my last post. there are a few other threads of helmets i've done for other members here in the jango section.

How to be a real sceptic
Scepticism is often discussed in connection with climate change, although the concept is often abused. I therefore thought it might be interesting to go back and see what the epitome of 20th Century sceptics, Bertrand Russell, had to say on the subject. This is extracted from the Introduction to his 'Sceptical Essays' (1928):
I wish to propose for the reader's favorable consideration a doctrine which may, I fear, appear wildly paradoxical and subversive. The doctrine is this: that it is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatever for supposing it true.
First of all, I wish to guard myself against being thought to take up an extreme position. … [Pyrrho] maintained that we never know enough to be sure that one course of action is wiser than another. In his youth, … he saw his teacher with his head stuck in a ditch, unable to get out. After contemplating him for some time, he walked on, maintaining that there was no sufficient ground for thinking that he would do any good by pulling the old man out. … Now I do not advocate such heroic scepticism as that. I am prepared to admit the ordinary beliefs of common sense, in practice if not in theory. I am prepared to admit any well-established result of science, not as certainly true, but as sufficiently probable to afford a basis for rational action.
There are matters about which those who have investigated them are agreed. There are other matters about which experts are not agreed. Even when experts all agree, they may well be mistaken. …. Nevertheless, the opinion of experts, when it is unanimous, must be accepted by non-experts as more likely to be right than the opposite opinion. The scepticism that I advocate amounts only to this: (1) that when the experts are agreed, the opposite opinion cannot be held to be certain; (2) that when they are not agreed, no opinion can be regarded as certain by a non-expert; and (3) that when they all hold that no sufficient grounds for a positive opinion exist, the ordinary man would do well to suspend his judgment.
So does this provide any clarity? Russell clearly doesn't support an extreme where everything must be continually doubted and nothing can ever be known. As he later suggests, that kind of position would make it philosophically troubling to ever get out of bed in the morning. This extreme attitude does however rear up in climate discussions where an interesting debate on the impacts of human-related increases of greenhouse gases on, say, the atmospheric circulation, often becomes bogged down in how do we know that GHGs are increasing at all, whether they are affected by human activity, and how it's all down to the sun anyway. Since all of these things have been discussed ad nauseum here, here and elsewhere, that kind of 'scepticism' (more accurately described as contrarianism, or 'la-la-la-I-can't-hear-you'-ism) serves only to waste time. Since working scientists are all busy people, this is usually why we tend to cease communication with such contrarians very quickly.
If we relax the above-mentioned constraint requiring 'all experts' to agree (something never achieved in practice) to 'the overwhelming majority of experts', we can substitute in the IPCC for 'experts' in the quote. It's important to note that Russell does not claim that if all experts are agreed, then one must agree with them, but solely that being certain of the opposite opinion in such circumstances is not wise. It is implied by his opening statement then that having 'all experts' agree something is reasonable grounds for supposing something to be true. Similarly, if the IPCC concludes that something is highly uncertain (such as the magnitude of changes in aerosol indirect effects), then there are no good grounds for assuming otherwise.

Pop quiz – Do you know where the installation CDs for your Microsoft Windows and Office are? If you can't pinpoint them right now, you're not alone.
In fact, just last week my home computer crashed and I wanted to reinstall Windows, but when I when I went to look for the CDs, they were nowhere to be found! I began to have a panic attack because on the envelope of the CDs is the Windows Product ID which states that you have a legal, authentic copy of Windows. Without the Product ID, I had no proof that I was using a legitimate version of Windows, not an illegal bootleg, and I would not be able to contact Microsoft or my computer manufacturer for a replacement installation disk. Luckily, I found the box that came with my computer, including the CDs in their envelopes. I also learned a valuable lesson about keeping a safe record of the Product IDs of all my computers with Windows. There is a utility named Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder that makes it super simple to get a copy of all Product IDs and I strongly suggest you check it out, because you never know when disaster could strike your computer!
Microsoft Windows stores all of your Product IDs in the registry. We cannot access this information directly using the Registry Editor, however, because it is encrypted. JellyBean Keyfinder solves this dilemma by decrypting the files, and displaying them in a neat interface. To use Keyfinder, all it takes is two simple steps…
First, install Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder from this link. Scroll down and look for the blue Download button. Just below that button are two choices for the download; the zip file or the installer file. Select which you'd like and click on that.
You can download the ZIP folder – simply extract, and then double click on keyfinder.exe. Or, if you want, you can download the KeyFinderInstaller.exe file.
The Jelly Bean Keyfinder interface will open up. It's exceptionally easy to navigate. On the left hand side you can see all of the products installed on your system. This utility picks up any programs from Microsoft, Adobe, and some others.
Simply highlight an option and the CD Key, the Product ID, and additional information will be displayed in the right pane. Easy as pie!
The simplest way to store all of this valuable data is simply to select File, and Print a full list. Put this hardcopy in a safe place, where you won't lose it!
So just to reiterate, what is the Product ID good for? Well, if you ever need replacement software either from Microsoft or another manufacturer, you need to have your Product ID handy so they can verify that you obtained the product legally.
Also, if you want to transfer your software license from one computer to the other, you can simply uninstall from the original computer and reinstall, but once again you need the Product ID. Hopefully you learned today that the Product ID of your software is very important!

Vernon from Tennessee writes:
What advantage/disadvantage is there between 32 bit and 64 bit Windows?
If you've ever tried to compare different computer or laptop models to see which is a better deal, you've realized it's like comparing apples and oranges. There are just too many variables to be able to make this comparison valid. While browsing, you may have noticed that most non-Macintosh computers come with Windows pre-installed, though some come with a 32-bit version and others with a 64-bit Windows.
Higher numbers are typically better when looking at computer components and software, and this instance is no different. The 64-bit Windows is newer and better than the 32-bit in a number of ways. The 32-bit version of both Windows Vista and Windows 7 can only handle up to 4 gigabytes of RAM (random access memory), which is what your computer relies on when running programs and loading files. Your computer can't truly utilize every byte of RAM, so you're left with about 3 gigabytes of RAM to work with. The 64-bit version, on the other hand, can handle up to 17.2 billion gigabytes of memory. That's four-billion times more RAM than the 32-bit! Don't rush right out to buy that much RAM just yet though. Your computer's motherboard can only handle so much RAM too, so you'll need to check the specifications for it before adding mass quantities of RAM.
For those concerned about security, the 64-bit version of Windows offers better security than the 32-bit version. While the 32-bit version's security is adequate for most of the general population, many individuals who are worried about online identity theft prefer the 64-bit because of its enhanced security features.
Hardware Compatibility
Like all new technology, the 64-bit Windows is not without its disadvantages, at least until the rest of the tech world catches up to Microsoft as far as technology is concerned. If your computer or any of your peripherals — printer, scanner, monitor, etc. — are even slightly outdated, chances are they aren't compatible with the 64-bit version of either Vista or Windows 7. When Microsoft created the 64-bit Vista, they stopped supporting older devices, which means you won't be able to find 64-bit drivers for these devices anymore. No drivers means you've got to upgrade to new peripherals.This is not always the case 100% of the time, so do double check with a professional before upgrading.
Software Compatibility
The same situation exists with software, although you can run software that is not 64-bit on a 64-bit operating system, it just won't be as fast. If you plan to use the Internet on your 64-bit Windows operating system — and who doesn't — you'll need to use Microsoft's Internet Explorer 64-bit for optimum performance. Fans of other browsers, such as Chrome or Firefox, can still uses these browsers, but they are 32-bit, which makes having a 64-bit operating system unnecessary. Though Firefox has released a 64-bit version, most users have had extreme difficulties trying to install and run it, so it's best to stick with the 32-bit version for now.
You may be asking yourself which version of Windows is better. The answer depends on your computer needs. If you use your computer primarily for Web browsing, e-mail and word processing, the 32-bit version is perfectly fine for the time being. For users who run more memory-intense programs, such as video games or graphics programs, it may be time to upgrade to the 64-bit Windows, along with 64-bit hardware and software.
