Back in the days when I was educated, for my parents, getting admission into a school was a very simple thing. In those days, "clustering" seemed to be the logic followed by most parents.
If most people from a particular apartment block went to X school, then the next few kids from that block also go to the same school. Apart from the basic question of whether it should
be an English medium school or vernacular school and accessibility and ease of admission or whether it was convent or co-ed, little else mattered. The word of mouth in the building and locality took care of any other issues that remained.
Today, (Bangalore perspective), it seems to be a greatly complicated thing. Apart from the local state board (which nobody seems to want), there is CBSE ( known for its high standard of education) and there is ICSE. There is also an International Baccalaureate (I hope I got that spelling right, kids are going to have a tough time). The fees increase exponentially in the order I have written about. Some schools also teach horse riding and stuff like that. Then there are schools which boast of a student teacher ratio of 1:20. Then there are schools which claim to have no pressure, no homework and no exams for kids. There are schools which promise personality development and lots of other fringe benefits.
My point is that, all these things are not bad. But really, is life like that? Do you want kids spending 10 years in some sort of utopia only to find that the real world can be cutthroat, dot eat dog, with a fair amount of stress and honestly, quite difficult? Is it a good idea to spend 10 odd years as some sort of a hyped up superhero in school only to find out that the whole world wears their underpants inside? Or is it better that the kid goes to a school where the education part is taken care of with a smattering of exposure to the vagaries of life with exams, homework and the like? Would I go through school with personalised attention for 10 years only to find that in real life, nobody could care less about me? Would I go through no exams for 10 years only to find a big exam staring at me every year after that, all of which are intensely competitive. It is fine for rich parents, but what if I have to make it the hard way (of course, I mean, the regular way, with exams and merit lists and waiting lists).
I am not taking a stand here, I would really like to know if what these schools are doing is the right way, then, I guess 90% of us seem to have 100% flawed education. But it has helped us succeed in whatever little way in our real lives. So, will these new schools ready our kids for the reality of life? Will this kind of education take them to a higher level of success? Or will they, like the chicken, emerge out of the protective egg shell only to find that they are a chicken in real life?
Well, let me know!

Schools - a dilemma
Back in the days when I was educated, for my parents, getting admission into a school was a very simple thing. In those days, "clustering" seemed to be the logic followed by most parents.

Yup , I strongly agree..!! Having grown up in ICSE with examinations in 11 subjects and projects in each.. Learned early what it was to slog..!!
I really pity this generation..!!
I had also heard that mathematics being made optional in some cases..!!

I don't know, neelakantan. I've had the kind of education you discuss, and after that I went to BMSCE back in very late 1984 - when Bangalore U was still coming to terms with student strikes etc. My primary and secondary education were at small, international schools abroad, not more than 15 in my final class for the GCSE O Levels. On one hand, being in a BMSCE rather than an IIT taught me more about real life than schooling, and I think that it should be at the college level that kids should get used to reality. A good primary/secondary schooling is a grounding in the fundamentals for life, and I cannot regret my experience.

Many of these schools are targetting the expat and the NRI-return types. With their gated communities and air-conditioned cars, they hardly have to interact with the real Bangalore. These schools just complete their lifestyle. When college comes calling, I guess they will just head back to the US or wherever they came from.
The worrying thing is that it seems to have become an aspirational thing for most of the "upwardly mobile" locals too. I've seen instances of kids travelling a couple of hours each day to go to one of those alternative schools, which is definitely not a good thing.

Good blog, I come here often.
This post is very topical for me! I went thru all the arguments you have put forth when deciding a school for my 3 year-old. I live in Muscat and my choice ranged from CBSE schools, to the British system, the American system and the Intl Baccalaureate (IB).
We finally chose a school that had a happy atmosphere, friendly and compasionate teachers - I figured young children need love and encouragement more than a strong curriculum or exposure to the real world. The student teacher ratio at my son's school is more like 1:5 ( 10 students from 8 countries, 1 teacher (white American) and 1 assistant teacher (from Ghana).
Your argument about living in an unreal world has merit and it bothered me too but I felt I would let my son learn about the wicked world when he is older and better able to understand things. Right now he does not need to be yelled at by a overworked stressed out teacher or be pressured into academics. I agree with Niti Bhan - my nephew went to Aditi which during his time was about the plushest school in Bangalore, he is at NID now and has turned out fabulously 'despite' a very elitist upbringing.

I like the points made in the comments and its actually helped clear the muddle in my mind. But I agree that exposing a child to the vagaries of life through a stressed out teacher is not the best thing. But then a sudden jump from no stress to stress is also not advisable. Perhaps, a gradual introduction to the real world is a good idea!!

- AkaRound Peg said...
Neelakantan - I don't think it is a no stress situtaion in these schools. The students are expected to excel and study hard. But the accent is on doing better than last time, understanding the subject - not just doing better than ABC or attaining a high percentage. The method of study is different - for instance they are assigned projects and expected to figure out for themselves using the library or the internet rather than have a teacher dictate notes which they would then mug up. The teacher is more a guide and there is no spoon feeding. Students are also encouraged to speak their minds, ask questions. This encourages independent thinking.
But possibly the curriculum in these schools is less demanding than the Indian curriculum. My 3 year old will not be taught to seriously write till he is in KG at age 5. By then Indian school kids will probably be writing short sentences. But then again by age 8 kids from these schools are likely to read Harry Potter while Indian school kids will probably be just begining on Enid Blytons.
Lots of pros and cons either way!!

Every parent would want their child to get the best schooling money can buy. But I believe the role does not end there, if you want your child to know reality and that people actually "wear the underpants inside" you need to spend a lot of quality time with them teaching/telling/sharing experiences of life to help them understand life and it's many faces beyond the school campus.
And I would like to agree with AkaRound Peg when he says that a child is protected till a certain age and should face the wicked world when he is better able to. BUT, let us not forget: The child should be aware that survival is tough and he should be infused with the spirit to achieve it against all odds.
- 3:48 PM, October 15, 2005
This is a question to AkaRound Peg. Which school did u finally decide on for ur child in Muscat?
I am in a similar dilemma now. My child is at an ICSE school and we are now contemplating a move to Muscat this year. I have been looking on the net for the possible schools and am now unclear as to which programme would suit my child best after an ICSE.

Hi Neel,
the focus and meaning to education has greatly changed and its the enviornment/ society which has caused this change. I guess in our time the strain and competition were minimal as compared to todays time and i feel these schools are actually doing the right things and morever if you see theres no harm for a kid to enjoy early years of his life with little comforts and attention . So with time I see more changes and changes for the good.
- 5:15 PM, February 22, 2006
I don't think young generation school kids are all protected and not exposed to any stress. Some of the education systems provide abnormal stress to primary kids, so that they start hating to go to school. The current mode adopted at some schools are they will ignite an interest in kid to learn more and from there it is easier. Biggest hurdle in Indian education system is kids doesn't know what they are learning and why they are learning. Traditional way, kids are mugging periodic table and relativity theory just to score higher marks. This won't take young generation anywhere. India need an education system wherein after basic education, youngsters should be able to select their career path, of course with the help of their mentors and to focus on achieving greater standards in their chosen area. Unlike current scenario of mechanical/civil engineer working for a software services company. We need to provide specialized education for which a complete make over of our education system is required.

Hello guys,
Incidentally I stumble upon this blogsite during some self made break in my desk. Me and my wife are engg graduates from Kolkata , both students of West Bengal Board and State Joint Entrance. Our son is in Dubai, going through CBSE since last 5 years. We are planning to return to Kolkata for his +2 and further college education , now he is in grade 5.
We need to make plans and your observations are pretty correct, though contracdictory.
We are going through homeworks, exam stresses, 4 in a year, and so on, but we feel CBSE is much better compared to state boards, which we experienced through our careers. Plush schools with personalised attention can be afforded upto mid school, but from grade 9 onwards one has to face the real world.
Regards to all.

I used to think these problems were only for those in a rarified atmosdphere; not so. Factors in my maid's case: proximity at first. Now that she has made a move, it's the teachers and the atmosphere. Also, cost: Kannada medium costs - mind you, costs- less than English for the primary school. But she takes loans from her employers and adjusts. Employability and advancement: she wants him to be fluent in English, so she sends him to a tutor, paying 150 a month.

Beginner's Guide to SF4 Model Editing

hhmm... odd, Piecemontee's SF4 Assets Explorer doesn't work on my computer :S

If you're using Windows Vista or Win7, you might need to set the compatibility to 'Run as Administrator' because it will need administrator rights to modify your program's files. If you continue having problems, try also setting it to use Windows XP compatibility mode (though this should not be necessary).
- August 27, 2009 at 2:11 PM

hey there! yes i'm using Win 7 (64-bit edition) and i've already did run this program as Administrator, except that it says that a .dll file is missing from the system :S
- August 27, 2009 at 4:57 PM
- Hunter K. said...
Is it one you can download online (i.e., searching for 'download [whatever].dll')?
If you'll post your error message, I'll see what I can find.
- August 28, 2009 at 6:04 AM

it was a Direct X dll file, i've already found it. Thx anyway Hunter :D
Though i have a little problem when running SFIV, i can't see the menu :S all i see is a Black Screen, sound is on and i can hear when i'm selecting the optins on the menu, but it doesn't show anything :?

- October 8, 2009 at 11:29 AM
Hunter, thanks so much for this beginner's guide! I am planning to try and make my own editing now, hopefully i can make good ones :)
Some questions in regards to using misfit...if you dont mind?
How do i rotate the wire frame model? Is it set to front and back only? its such a headache trying to select only the front or back vertices....
Also, is there a way to set the 3D view back to its original position?
Thanks again for the tutorial :)
- November 15, 2009 at 12:32 AM
- Hunter K. said...
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a way to rotate the wireframe models that I can see. You're right that this does make it a real hassle to select individual vertices. I would recommend just zooming in very close and then using the other perspectives to ensure you've selected the correct one(s). Also, I don't know of any way to return the rendered window to its original location, other than just saving, exiting and reopening. All in all, Misfit is a pretty cludgy program, but we make do with what we have :/
- November 16, 2009 at 6:59 AM
aaah I see.
Its been a learning curve, alright, but I havent stopped playing with it for the past 3 days since i found your tutorial! :) thanks again. I hope to post my noobish work soon! :)
One more question if you dont mind :
How about deselecting vertices?
- November 18, 2009 at 6:45 AM
- Hunter K. said...
No luck on deselecting vertices AFAIK, either. :(
I will say, though, that I just learned of some pro-quality programs that will work with SF4 (I'm planning to write an advanced model editing tutorial using these tools in the near future): SoftImage for the actual model editing and ZBrush for making normalmaps (which weren't covered in this tutorial but can really make or break some mods).
I imagine these programs include some of the tools you've asked about, though the learning curve will be much steeper than with the comparably simple Misfit3D.
- November 18, 2009 at 7:04 AM
ooo, autodesk softimage? I'd be very interested when you get around to it :)
I didnt even know autodesk made other 3d programs...what happened to maya?
- November 18, 2009 at 8:37 PM
The free modtool right? :) I popped my eye when i saw the 4000 dollar price tag.I hope there is a free version of zbrush too, would be nice!
- November 18, 2009 at 8:53 PM
- Hunter K. said...
yeah, that's the one. I didn't see any actual free versions of ZBrush, but they have a 30-day, feature-complete trial version you can play around with.
- November 19, 2009 at 5:49 AM
Thanks for all the help hunter! Have another question :
When i load these things up in explorer, there are two models...the first one is the one i adjust, the second one is a 3d model of ...shadow? what is it for?
Also, i got my first mod out, credited your tutorial for getting me started! ^_^ thankie.
- November 21, 2009 at 6:19 PM
- Hunter K. said...
I'm not entirely sure I follow, but I think you're describing what is known as a 'normalmap.' It's an image file (in this case a DDS) that is applied to the model that fine-tunes the contours of the model (some people refer to editing the normalmap as 'sculpting,' which is a pretty apt description of how it works).
SF4 actually uses pretty simple models, as I'm sure you've discovered. It's the normalmap that adds most of the details, such as clothing wrinkles, muscle ripples, etc. The dark areas are rendered as recessed into the overall model, while the light areas are rendered as raised.
Here's a great tutorial for making a normalmap from scratch in GIMP:
It's written with respect to Oblivion, but it works for SF4, too.
- November 23, 2009 at 5:51 AM
thanks hunter! :) will check it out. I actually got myself a book on zbrush yesterday. Now need to sit down with it. I had always wanted to get into 3D but Maya had started out too daunting. Zbrush looks a lot more friendly :) cheers
- November 24, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Hi Hunter,
I think i have found out how to deselect vertices! :) its Shift - Right click and drag a box around the vertex that you dont want.
Cheers :)
- December 12, 2009 at 11:27 PM
- Hunter K. said...
oh man, that's good news! Thanks for letting me know, as that's definitely going to make things much easier for me ;)
- December 13, 2009 at 4:38 PM
Hey guys, I know this hasn't been commented on in a while, but on the current version of Misfit you can rotate the wireframe views by holding ctrl then click dragging with the left mouse button. There's also a dropdown menu in the up left of each viewport that lets you select to rest the camera to various positions.
- May 8, 2010 at 12:25 PM
- nanda said...
I tried using it but misfit doesn't allow me to modify anything in the object =/
I wanted to make a more realistically fat Rufus, actually even a make him a little fatter, instead of the weird ball shaped rufus, perhaps you could help me with that if you ever feel like it, hunter?
I used that buff rufus model you did, and it was amazing!
I was trying to use this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hraqahxisg&has_verified=1 ) as reference, Iwas going to make rufus with a dropping belly ( closer to his knees, covering his crotch ) and all, but misfit simply doesnt allow me to mess with it
me and some more fans of rufus would be really grateful if you could help with that, doesn't matter how long it takes.
thank you very much

- Anubis said...
I like how Misfit is so simple and barebone. It really introduces you to 3d editing without being scary.
The only unfortunate aspect of Misfit is that it doesn't let you edit multiple objects at a time (or can it?). It makes it a bit difficult to make all the pieces fit.
Do you think Blender and Autodesk would solve that problem? I almost feel brave enough to try them now that I know editing is all about moving vertices.
In any case, Thanks hunter!
- January 31, 2013 at 11:43 PM
- Hunter K. said...
Yeah, Misfit matches my skill level nicely :P
I have not figured out any way to edit multiple objects at once, no. Blender and SoftImage definitely can, though.
They are both daunting in their complexity, but Blender at least has tons of helpful tutorials on youtube and elsewhere :)
- February 1, 2013 at 5:01 AM
Hello Hunterk
do you you have a tutorial where you show how to add or remove costumes in SSF4
- July 21, 2013 at 9:34 PM
- Hunter K. said...
Hi Anon,
I'm not really sure what you're referring to by 'add or remove costumes'. Could you elaborate?
- July 22, 2013 at 5:30 AM
Hello Hunter.
Sorry bout late response, been scouring the internet tryin to teach myself how to mod.
By add or remove I mean, maybe I want to remove M.Bison's cap and shoulder guards, or maybe I want to import them onto a new character.
Do you have or know of a tutorial that can show me how to do this
Thank you
- August 1, 2013 at 2:14 AM
- Hunter K. said...
Hey, no worries. To remove something from an existing costume, the easiest thing to do is just open the EMO in piecemontee's Asset Explorer and toggle the visibility of the object to 'OFF.' You have to be careful, though, because there's not always body parts where you expect them to be, and making things invisible can sometimes leave unexpected holes.
To swap things around, use sloth86's tools. There's a tutorial to get you started here: http://filthypants.blogspot.com/2011/08/intermediate-guide-to-sf4-emg-model.html
- August 1, 2013 at 5:35 AM
Perfect... Thank you
- August 1, 2013 at 7:57 PM
Hey this was awesome! Was wondering how ppl are adding extra hair textures (EMB's) in there mods? Plz help!!!
- October 3, 2013 at 3:28 PM
N/m I figured it out.
- October 6, 2013 at 8:39 AM
Hey Hunter, got a question, how come the nude models are missing parts in other words i see triangles all over the model like as if its missing a piece when loaded into SFexplorer?
I wanted to edit them but the models look like they have triangular cuts in them but most of the model is intact. Any ideas how to fix this?
- December 8, 2013 at 5:12 AM
- Hunter K. said...
Capcom did that to conserve resources. There wouldn't be any point in rendering geometry that no player would ever see.
To fix that, you can move the vertices like in this post's tutorial to close the gap (good for small things; this is the simplest solution), though this will stretch the DDS texture and look weird on large areas. Or, you could swap in a complete body part from another costume/character using sloth86's EMGSwap tool (more advanced solution). Or, you could rig in a totally new model in Blender using sloth86's SMD tools (most advanced solution).
- December 8, 2013 at 6:31 AM
Hey there,
Is it possible if I say - make my own model from scratch to import that? I would be pretty sweet to have a complete custom character to use.
- February 12, 2014 at 10:52 PM
- Hunter K. said...
Yeah, that's totally possible. The procedure is very different, though, and you'll need to be familiar with manually rigging things in Blender.
If you have that covered, check out the tutorials linked on aemods.pbworks.com and sfxtmods.pbworks.com. BrutalAce and khaledantar666 have written some steps for importing and rigging custom models.
- February 13, 2014 at 5:58 AM
Sorry for the noob question but, would anyone be able to tell me how to move the model around in piecemontee's viewer? I don't mean zoom or rotate but, actually move so that I can zoom in on other parts?
thanks in advance!
- May 29, 2014 at 8:24 PM
- Hunter K. said...
Hi Anon,
If you use the updated version from the link at the top of the page, you can drag around using the middle mouse button (mouse-wheel click on my machine). Be aware that this version defaults to console/big-endian mode, so you'll need to change that to PC/little-endian (via the File menu) before you load any files.
- May 30, 2014 at 5:45 AM
Awesome! Thank you for the response.

Hello Hunter K. thanks for this guide i was totally lost about this kind of files, i have two question to ask you if you don't mind; first, how can i export the model with bones or rigged in order to use it in pmd editor, second, when i extract the model it is saved but also with the items that are turned OFF, so i want to know how can i extract only the visible, thanks and my best regards.
- May 6, 2015 at 5:59 PM
Incredible guide, I was able to edit the models easily without having any experience with 3d modeling before. However, I want to change the size of a few characters, which I have tried through scaling them on misfitmodel3d. I scaled each part of makoto's model to 1.4, and while it looked OK on the preview, ingame the model is completely bugged (hands, feet stretched, eyes completely inside the head). Apparently, the reason this happened is because the bones glitch out when you scale the model parts. So, I want to know if there is any way to scale up characters without glitching their skeletons, and maybe find a way to reposition them to be over the stage ground when they're resized (normally they're going to be clipping inside the ground). Thanks a lot in advance.

short for South of Houston Street. Located in Manhattan but extremely hard to designate a specific startpoint and endpoint as it is constantly changing and growing. Currently Manhattan's Largest Mall. Historically known as an artists haven, most have fled to Williamsburg, Brooklyn
On my last trip to New York city, I went to Times Square, The Empire State Building, Little Italy and Soho.

The area of Manhattan between Houston&Canal, and Bowery&6th Ave. While not very large, Soho has become the definition of what most people think of when they think of Manhattan. Countless upscale/overpriced stores, delis where a sandwich costs more than a steak, and coffee houses far and wide. The number one tourist attraction despite its conplete lack of historical and personal value. While it keeps Manhattans economy booming is exactly what will keep the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Has succeeded in destroying the City from the inside.
Jeff: Hey man, we're all goin' out Soho to get some 12 dollar sandwiches and then we'll hit up Starbucks for some 7 dollar coffee.

One last thought about interruptions. They are impossible to plan for and dealing with them can sometimes be, ahem, a challenge to say the least.
While interruptions can sometimes be welcomed — like when a member actually distracts your front desk staff from the latest Teen People issue, I'm talking about more disrupting interruptions — the kind of interruptions that pop up without warning and require poise and quick thinking to deal with.
Here's a good example. Roughly 12 people braved a thunderstorm on an August evening for my Wednesday night muscle class. Although it was raining outside and the occasional clap of thunder could be heard over the 32-count beat of the Black Eyed Peas' "Hey Mama," the 13 of us were having a grand, muscle-pumping time. About halfway through class, in the middle of hammer curls, a large, older woman walked into the group exercise studio and right up to me, the instructor. Completely taken aback, I attempted to regain my composure, as I said, "Um, hi. Can I help you with something?"
My class, looking as shocked at the interruption as I was, waited for her answer. (I mean, it's obvious we're in the middle of a class — music, microphone, choreographed weight lifting. All signs point to formalized group exercise.)
"Can I use one of those ball things over there?" she asked.
I didn't want to delve into the club's policy about equipment staying in the aerobics room because it would have made my class suffer through another 40 bicep curls, so I said, "Sure."
However, instead of leaving the studio (props for adhering to club policy), the woman plopped down on the ball only a few feet away. Yes, it was a distraction, but I had no idea what I was in for.
Minutes later after refocusing on my class, I noticed a student in the back row giggling uncontrollably. I quickly scanned the class and myself, but everything seemed to be in place — good form, nothing in my teeth. Then I saw it — Mrs. Interruption herself was doing pelvic tilts on the ball. These weren't subtle pelvic tilts that you might do during a warm-up; these were gregarious movements. Holding back laughter myself, I continued teaching. By the time I finally got the whole class (including myself) back on task, the woman had finished her "workout" and quietly slid out the door.
Although a fitness center should be a safe haven and no one should ever be laughed at, members shouldn't interrupt a structured class and distract other members with their "activities." Perhaps I should have been more primed for such an interruption (almost every instructor has a similar story to tell), but there's only so much preparation you can do. My advice is to be well rested and take care of yourself properly so when that interruption occurs, you can deal with it professionally. A sense of humor doesn't hurt either.

It consists of a common core of study in journalism, with an offer of specialist study in print/online or broadcast journalism, which will facilitate student entry into different aspects of the industry.

Lazio best choice for Republicans
The Sept. 14 primary elections offer a timely and sober reminder of the hard times that have fallen on the Republican Party in New York. The GOP hasn't won a statewide race since 2002 and no longer has a majority in either house of the state Legislature.
And here's the party, left to decide between two contenders for its gubernatorial nomination. Neither is particularly inspiring. Both have invested too much political capital in their unsettling and ill-reasoned opposition to an Islamic center not far from where the Sept. 11 terrorists struck Manhattan.
If the Republicans are to have any chance of taking back the governor's office, they first need to rescue their own party from being taken over by its extremist factions. What might be an unappealing choice is an easy one in that sense.
We recommend Rick Lazio, a former congressman -- and a moderate one at that -- who last ran for office 10 years ago, in an unsuccessful Senate race against Hillary Rodham Clinton. More recently, he's been an executive on Wall Street.
Of the two Republican candidates, he's the one capable of the essential task of engaging Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic front-runner, in a serious debate about how to best revive the state's economy, reduce its excessively heavy tax burden and clean up its horribly corrupt political culture.
There's no question that New York's government is broken. Too many people are leaving a state that no longer offers ample economic opportunity. New Yorkers feel betrayed by a self-serving political class better known these days for greed and criminality than for innovative and prudent commitment to public service.
That's why Buffalo real estate developer Carl Paladino, Mr. Lazio's opponent, is appealing to many voters. He's a smart, successful and, above all, angry man who's been able to feed off the public's disgust with the status quo. It's tempting, perhaps, to rattle the state Capitol to its very core, and replace the politicians so inept at governing with outsiders like Mr. Paladino.
But Mr. Lazio is right. Mr. Paladino lacks both the temperament and the relevant experience to serve in government, particularly as the state's chief executive. Far too often in this campaign, Mr. Paladino has made statements and taken positions where thought and reason soon enough give way to unfettered rage. His understandable disenchantment with the state's elected leaders too often betrays an unsettling personal animosity. How, for instance, could he work with Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver after repeatedly expressing such contempt and scorn for him and referring to him in Nazi terms?
And how, really, could he deliver on his promise to cut state spending by 20 percent? His insistent and confident tone reveals a naivete about how government actually works.
Mr. Lazio's proposals to reduce spending, limit taxes and reorganize government are more reasoned ones. They show an understanding of an office that, as he says, requires more than being a "shock jock." It demands an able leader, a competent administrator, a skilled politician and, at times, a statesman.
Between now and the November election, Mr. Lazio will need to prove that he can be all those things. But he's not Carl Paladino, and that's enough to win our endorsement for the Republican nomination.
The party needs to be warned that rejecting Mr. Lazio will come at its own peril. A once powerful and still serious party is in danger of reducing itself to fringe status.

SAN DIEGO —The gunman stalked the dormitory halls yelling "I'm going to kill somebody," pounding and kicking on doors, and firing his weapon in the air.
The resident assistants remembered their training: turn off the lights, barricade the doors with chairs and tables, lie flat on the floor, push back if the killer tries to bust in, or jump out a window if it isn't too high.
The drama was all staged but with a life-saving purpose Tuesday as a dormitory at San Diego State became a stand-in for Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook Elementary and the engineering building on the campus here — all scenes of deadly rampages.
Two dozen people from colleges and schools throughout Southern California came to campus for a two-day session with the chillingly modern title of Active Shooter Response Training.

ProShot is a feature rich camera app for your Windows Phone 8 device for those wanting a little more control over their camera. The app was recently updated to version 2.3 that tweaks the app's overall performance and adds a self timer and intervalometer feature.
What's a intervalometer you ask? Simply put, a time lapse setting. ProShot now can capture time lapse images using delays that range from 3 seconds to 5 minutes. The self-timer feature has options for delays ranging from 1 second to 10 seconds and an option to capture a three shot burst.
The time lapse can be a little tricky to initiate. You choose the time lapse setting under you camera mode (the button at the center top of the screen) and set your interval. From there you tap and hold the screen to pull up the action button. You will see confirmation of the time lapse setting pop up on the screen and then you press the shutter button to initiate the time lapse. A countdown timer and shutter count graphic will appear and when you're done, just hit the back button to end the time lapse.
The developer does note that a bug was discovered with the time lapse feature where the timer crashes after fifty frames. An update to fix this bug is in the pipeline so it shouldn't be an issue for long.
Other aspects of the version 2.3 update include:
- Tripled image save speed
- Added option to choose language
- EXIF now has proper geotag
- Added MF assist zoom
- Added tutorial
- AF Assist now has 1 setting for all modes
- UI tweaks and bug fixes
All in all, the update adds to an already fantastic alternative to our native Windows Phone 8 camera app. There is a free trial for ProShot and the full version is currently running $1.99. You can find it all here in the Windows Phone Store.
Thanks, DigitalDK, for the tip!

19 New Room Decoration Simulator this images was upload at November 23, 2018 upload by Evelyn Gibson in Make Dream House.
Interior design does not have to be a long, arduous process with the right amount of planning and a little work ethic. Whether you have the budget to overhaul an entire home or want to redesign elements in a single room, you can apply the tips in this article to help!
Beautiful art is a wonderful design element. A painting can serve as a focal point, especially if it matches your design elements. A painting can also give you a starting point of where to start decorating with other things.
Choose your colors carefully when you're looking at repainting a room. You want to choose colors that go well together and compliment each other. You don't want colors that clash and fight for attention. You want your colors to blend together and feel natural. Don't go with too many bright colors, or you risk overwhelming your senses.
Try adding plants to your room. You'll be surprised at how much more lively, yet calming; a room can become just by adding a simple plant to the room. A single plant, properly placed, can really set the mood and bring a room together. Just don't forget to water it!
Start with a fresh coat of paint. Paint is inexpensive and can make a big change to a room in just a few hours. Go to your local home store and get swatches. Then, come home and imagine what each swatch would look like, and how it would blend with the furniture and other rooms in your home. Choose one and see how different your room looks!
Repainting a room and moving around some furniture can go a long way when it comes to interior design. You can create an entirely different attitude if you use some imagination and try to plan before you begin purchases. Remember the tips in this article to have a home you are proud of!

CATIA Product Experience provides multiple elements to help people collaborate at the level of the product experience – where people sit together and review the overall project. Ease of use, simple dashboards, powerful analysis, search etc etc deliver the right information so managers and non specialists can find and interact with the product information they require.
CATIA Live FTA Review
Based upon 3D as the master representation, this product allows a complete review of tolerancing data
The tolerance and annotation modifications between 2D and 3D drawings must be taken into account early on, so that manufacturing information is consistent and up-to-date. For this purpose, synchronicity between designers is essential in order to save time and to reuse 3D tolerance analysis.
CATIA Live FTA Review handles Functional Tolerancing and Annotations (FTA) data in a light 3DXML format so that a variety of collaborators can easily share the data. This 3DXML format includes all tolerancing and annotation data created by the designer, with specific points of view, filters or captures. Thus, any project participant can easily and freely consult on the internet all of the data that completes the 3D definition of parts and assemblies.
An FTA Review can also be processed directly in CATIA 3D window, as the reviewer is provided with filtering and any operation of the review in a specific toolbar. He benefits from a full control of what FTA features has to be displayed while working at a given level of the assembly.
- Share design specifications quickly
- Suppress the need for attached drawing documents
- Access any 3DLive data source instantly
Review FTA data within a 3DXML playerThe 3DXML format allows the designer to transfer rich content to the reviewer, as it embeds tolerancing data. The 3DXML player also makes it possible for a supplier or a customer to easily review tolerancing data and annotations directly within the 3D product.
Dedicated tools for 3DLive collaborative reviewUsers can visualize query and filter FTA features (3D dimensions, tolerances, and annotations) of parts and assemblies in the ENOVIA 3DLive environment. Access to all the geometrical product specifications is provided by a light viewer in a collaborative environment. The team members involved in product reviews can exchange viewpoints with annotations thanks to 2D and 3D markers.
Effective presentation of required data to ease the reviewThe 3DLive platform enables users to benefit from automatic cross-highlights between annotations in the specification tree and their 3D representations. Moreover, the display can be handled through several tabs, while filters may be applied to the review, and the capture of different views may be displayed in sequence. This simplifies the specifications and the understanding of the 3D product.
DMU and FTA reviewers benefit from natural collaborationWith common access to data through TabPages, FTA and DMU reviewers who capture annotations and slides can easily collaborate.
Better performance to access review functionalitiesUsers experience improved access to views, captures, and annotations since the interface focuses on what makes the review quick and easy.

I love this photo gallery of birds stealing ice cream at a seaside esplanade. Look at that rascal above; you can practically see the greed in his eyes.
And, at least for a moment, this poor woman is blissfully oblivious to the carnage going on.
This reminds me of the brazenly opportunistic gulls in Wildwood, New Jersey, where two miles of greasy boardwalk fare (including the delicious Sam's Pizza Palace, above) keeps them well-fed.
I remember getting a lunchtime phone call from my girlfriend, who had gone down the shore a day ahead of me. "A bird just stole my sandwich! I put it down on the bench to go get napkins, and when I came back, a gull was eating it! And the carnies were laughing!"
What did she do? Stole the sandwich back, broke off the gull-eaten half, and ate the remainder.

The 12 Biggest Pet Peeves of Video Game Characters
There are all sorts of dangerous and tedious jobs in the world: oil firefighter, Navy SEAL, Donald Trump's hair wrangler. One group of very hard and dedicated workers, though, who never get their due are video game characters.
Day in and day out, these icons perform dangerous and monotonous duties that shorten the length of their life (or lives) by mere minutes, simply for our entertainment. So we talked to some of the gaming world's most famous icons and faces and gave them a chance to vent their digital frustrations.
1. Pac-Man: Medicare won't cover power pellets.
2. Lara Croft from Tomb Raider: Can't talk about "getting some bigger guns" to guys without hearing suppressed giggling.
3. Master Chief from Halo: Power armor really chafes in the crotch.
4. Sonic the Hedgehog: Everyone makes me go on a beer run for them.
5. Random crime victim from Grand Theft Auto: The cops around here are so inefficient and incapable of solving crimes, the Sanford PD in Florida keeps hiring them.
6. The princess from Super Mario Brothers: Mario's "plumber snake" hasn't been able to get the job done in years.
7. Luigi: My dumb brother Mario always gets to the good mushrooms before me.
8. Donkey Kong: Nintendo won't me fling "something else" at Mario other than barrels.
9. Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat: Chronic shrinkage.
10. Zombie from Left 4 Dead: Survivors are always fit and skinny and never someone like Rush Limbaugh, who can't run more than 10 feet without getting winded and lasts as leftovers for a family of five for at least a month.
11. The Red Angry Bird: Can't get any chicks, thanks to the freakin' bird flu.
12. The ball in Pong: Only Mitt Romney spends more time going "back and forth from one side to the other" than I do.
