Penint Design Team-Leaves Bedroom
At Design Interviews
Interview with Penint Design Team : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Penint Design Team : Autumn leaves. Autumn is a transition between summer's sultry, hot weather and winter's freezing cold. So that we wanted to carry the relaxing and calming effect of autumn to a space like bedroom. We thought that it would be relaxing with spaces' autumn colors for having happier sleeps. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Penint Design Team : Majority of people think that bedroom is just for sleeping, dressing and putting on make up. However, we wanted to make bedroom as a living space for providing maximum comfort. Why bedroom couldn't be for drinking coffee while reading your book? Or watching TV as you're lying? .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Penint Design Team : With this award winning design we believe that we're going to approach our designs to bigger audience. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Penint Design Team : It took one week to design this project. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Penint Design Team : No, it is not produced or used by another company yet. But we're planning to bring it into action in the future. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Penint Design Team : The design wasn't made for a specific client, we made this to improve our own design portfolio and positive comments made us to join this competition. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Penint Design Team : No there isn't any influence by other designers but the ceramics behind the bed headboard are already produced by a ceramic company called "Mutina". .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Penint Design Team : We didn't plan to have a target customer for this design but especially just married young couples' are interested in it. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Penint Design Team : This design aparts from the others with its' modernization unlike the traditional Turkish bedrooms and providing the user more than a bedroom. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Penint Design Team : While searching for a design name, we got inspired from our autumn theme and decided to name it as 'Leaves'. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Penint Design Team : Using computer aided design tools such as Autocad, 3dsmax Design, Vray, Corona, Adobe Photoshop are important for us to have realistic visuals in our designs. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Penint Design Team : We think that usage of unusual materials in bedroom such as wood, concrete, textile and glass makes the design more unique. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Penint Design Team : We didn't collaborate with anybody while doing this design, we did every process in our own design team. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Penint Design Team : While designing process, we took advantage of computer programmes. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Penint Design Team : First we heard about the A' Design Award via the e-mail that calls us to package design category we got from A' Design Award members. But as we are interior designers we would like to get involved in a competition from interior design category. 'Leaves' bedroom was one of our favorite designs we would like to join with it. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Penint Design Team : First of all, while designing this bedroom we considered the basic design rules. We have searched for the harmony of colorsl, forms and textures. .

Why Choose the Physiology and Neuroscience Program?
Programs of graduate study leading to a Master of Science in Physiology and Neuroscience provide students with a broad knowledge of physiology and neuroscience as well as concentrated experience in one specific area of specialization. The first two semesters involve 17 credit hours, which include required departmental and other courses determined in consultation with the student's advisor. Research activities begin in the spring of the first year with a lab rotation. The second program year involves 13 credit hours with emphasis on research. Completed research is presented in written thesis form at the end of the second year, with a public oral defense.
The purpose of the master's degree is to provide the student with a strong research-oriented background in one of several areas of physiology, biophysics, or neuroscience. A program of study is designed for each student by the student's faculty advisor and an advisory committee. The second year is devoted almost exclusively to research and culminates in the writing and oral defense of a thesis based upon original research performed while enrolled as a graduate student at the university. The degree requires successfully completing a minimum of 30 credits of graduate-level course work offered by the College of Science and Mathematics and defending a research thesis.

We used a couple of days leading up to "the test" to take a look at the Trail of Tears.
Many of my students visited New Echota, the Cherokee capital prior to 1834, during a field trip last year and many have vacationed in Cherokee, North Carolina. I use this information as a hook to get kids interested in our current topic by having them remember the details of their trips to these Cherokee landmarks.
However, it has been many moons since August when we discussed Native American regions, so we reviewed first about the Cherokees and how they lived in the Eastern Woodlands of North America prior to the arrival of Europeans. Then we clicked our fast forward button and discussed Sequoyah and his Cherokee alphabet, the Cherokee newspaper, The Phoenix, and I showed students various pictures of Cherokee villages and gatherings. I also wrote a list of names on the board and titled it "Important Cherokee Leaders". The names on the list included Col. Ridge, James Vann, and Charles Hicks.
I asked students to carefully look at the images and the list of names and make some observations. They quickly surmised that the Cherokees in the pictures were dressed like white men, the men on the list did not have names that sounded Native American, and that villages looked more like towns with buildings that resembled other colonial settlements.
One student remarked, "Gee, you can't tell they are Indians at all."
Were my students operating on stereotypes?
I would have to say they were.
Of course I can't blame them. Young children are constantly inundated with solitary images of Native Americans wearing feathers and living in a teepee. One or two lessons a year to change their way of thinking isn't going to be enough, but I try.
Now I don't mean to mislead anyone into thinking that I allowed my students to think that all Cherokee tribal members assimilated into the European culture. Prior to European exploration the Cherokee Nation was a well organized, peaceful tribe that had a form of government, religion, and education. They were a highly developed civilization. There were many who did not choose to follow and highly objected to any white habits and customs. On the other hand there were many who had a lifestyle similar to whites yet followed the practice of polygamy and looked first to Cherokee law before following state laws.
Once white traders and hunters began to travel through Cherokee lands, however, many mixed unions between Englishmen and Cherokee women took place. During the days of his presidency George Washington asked Henry Dearborn to introduce certain facets of technology to the Cherokee such as spinning wheels and carding machines. Young chiefs such as Col. Ridge, James Vann, and Charles Hicks known as the Cherokee Triumvirate understood that peace could come through education, technology, and business sense. Other Cherokee leaders such as John Ross and John Walker agreed with them.
With so many pushing for assimilation it seems it was inevitable, and the very fact that their journey towards assimilation was so successful makes the fate of the Trail of Tears just that much more repugnant and regretable.
In order to continue my student's journey through the Trail of Tears take a look at the next portion of my lesson I've detailed in my post titled The Chief Vann House: Stamping Out Stereotypes over at Georgia On My Mind and stay tuned for more about the Trail of Tears.

|my block printed tea towel
Over the weekend I returned to the school, run by stylist Megan Morton (you may recall I visited earlier in the year) with my lovely mother and sister for some block printing action with textile designer Joanna Fowles. Using hand-made, wooden shapes, we printed geometric patterns on to beautiful linen napkins and tea towels. It was one of the most therapeutic and relaxing things I have done in a while, and could have easily just kept going all afternoon. On completion we all each had four napkins and a tea towel to take home and use. Too good.
Check out the School's website for upcoming classes and you must check out Joanna's online store, filled with her STUNNING one off, hand made pieces.

For my return to hopefully regular posting I thought I'd start with a Russian site called Smotri, it's mainly a video hosting site, much like Youtube, but what we're interested in most over here is that it offers live user broadcasts, there are loads of interesting cams to watch, far more than most random chat sites have to offer these days, had some epic times on Smotri. The only real problem with Smotri is that if you can't understand Russian, chat won't be much use to you, occasionally you will encounter English speakers, but if you're a lil bit of a voyeur like I am then that shouldn't matter to much.
Navigating Smotri can be a little difficult due to the language barrier and you'll need to register to get to the erotic broadcasts but I'll guide you through the process.
If you're not interested in the erotic cams then just click on Трансляции near the top of the page, that will get you to the live cams. If you're interested in the naughty ones then you'll have to register. In the top right corner of the page click Войти, you will get a sign-in pop-up, click on регистрация, enter your email and click the button, on the next page enter a username, password and login name, enter captcha, tick agree and hit the button. You should get an email with your login details.
|Begin registration.
|Click the word in red circle.
|Enter Email, click button.
|Enter a username, password, login name, captcha, tick box, click button.
Hope that helps.
Smotri is definitely worth a look.

NVIDIA has made a move to advance its work with scientifically advanced applications development by announcing CUDA support for OpenCV, the open source 'Computer Vision' library popularly used in the robotics, automotive, medical, consumer, security, manufacturing and research fields.
The visual computing specialist is bringing GPU acceleration to OpenCV developers in order to try and provide more accurate and more sophisticated algorithms in real-time on higher-resolution images with consuming less power.
NVIDIA says that this will facilitate the development of scores of new, mainstream Computer Vision applications. With what is reported to be thousands of developers and over 2-million downloads to date, OpenCV is experiencing popularity in the development of computational-intensive applications, many of which require real-time performance.
"Computational power in Computer Vision has been a limiting factor not only for the use of recent powerful algorithms in object recognition, tracking and 3D reconstruction, but also has limited the creativity of algorithms people are willing to invent," said Gary Bradski, senior researcher at Willow Garage, and founder of OpenCV. "With CUDA GPU acceleration, many OpenCV algorithms will run five to ten times faster, making current algorithms more practical for application developers and allowing the invention and combination of more capable applications in the future."
An initial release of OpenCV with CUDA GPU support for many common and powerful functions is expected to be available in the spring of 2011. Some initial GPU-enabled OpenCV functionality is currently available via the OpenCV source code repository.

It's Dangerous For Free Speech When We Confuse Leakers With Spies
from the they're-not-the-same deptWe've tried to make similar points a few times in the past about our concern with the Obama administration going after whistleblowers and the journalists who publish their leaks by using the Espionage Act more than all other Presidents in history, combined (more than twice as much, actually). But the NY Times has a great piece highlighting how the federal government now seems to completely blur the lines between being a leaker and a spy.
"Obama apparently cannot distinguish between communicating information to the enemy and communicating information to the press," Mr. Goodale wrote. "The former is espionage, the latter is not."This is dangerous for a whole host of reasons -- including having an informed and knowledgeable public. But it's also dangerous from a First Amendment standpoint. Remember, the First Amendment protects freedom of expression and freedom of the press -- and both are closely linked when we're talking about whistleblowers leaking information to the public via the press. When we start turning the leakers and the press into "spies" we make that much more difficult, and as a result we have a less free society, and a much more controlling and abusive government.
Of course, some would argue that this is the goal. The very same article quotes former Bush administration apologist lawyer John Yoo -- infamous in part because of his tortured legal defense, twisting the clear meaning and intent of the Geneva Conventions in order to pretend that the US could use torture as an interrogation technique without violating the rules. Not surprisingly, Yoo doesn't have any problem at all with condemning leakers as spies.
"Manning's defenders will say that Manning only leaked information to the 21st-century equivalent of a newspaper, and that he could not have known that Al Qaeda would read it," Professor Yoo wrote in National Review Online.Of course, Yoo is either woefully ignorant or flat out lying -- neither of which makes him look good. First of all, the Manning/Lamo transcripts make it quite clear that Manning had very little communications with Assange. But, even more important, as research from professor Yochai Benkler made clear, prior to Manning's leaks, Wikileaks was not seen as anti-US in its mission at all. Its earlier leaks had been focused on mostly corporate and government malfeasance around the globe (mostly outside the US), such as with Bank Julius Baer. As Benkler explained:
"But WikiLeaks is not The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal, and it does not have First Amendment rights," he added. "Manning communicated regularly with WikiLeaks' founder and would have known about the group's anarchic, anti-U.S. mission."
When you read the hundreds of news stories and other materials published about WikiLeaks before early 2010, what you see is a young, exciting new media organization. The darker stories about Julian Assange and the dangers that the site poses developed only in the latter half of 2010, as the steady release of leaks about the U.S. triggered ever-more hyperbolic denouncements from the Administration (such as Joe Biden's calling Assange a "high-tech terrorist"), and as relations between Assange and his traditional media partners soured.Furthermore, the idea that Yoo has that Wikileaks somehow "does not have First Amendment rights" because it's "not the NY Times or the Wall Street Journal" makes no sense. It's just assuming that because one brand is established and another is new that the established one automatically has greater rights than the new one. That's an argument based on nothing more than historical bias, rather than any sort of recognition of reality. Wikileaks was never focused on the US, but was focused on revealing conspiracies of all kinds -- that the US just happened to be involved in many speaks more to problems with the way the US government works, than to Wikileaks itself.
In early 2010, when Manning did his leaking, none of that had happened yet. WikiLeaks was still a new media phenom, an outfit originally known for releasing things like a Somali rebel leader's decision to assassinate government officials in Somalia, or a major story exposing corruption in the government of Daniel Arap Moi in Kenya. Over the years WikiLeaks also exposed documents that shined a light on U.S. government practices, such as operating procedures in Camp Delta in Guantanamo or a draft of a secretly negotiated, highly controversial trade treaty called the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. But that was not the primary focus. To name but a few examples, it published documents that sought to expose a Swiss Bank's use of Cayman accounts to help rich clients avoid paying taxes, oil related corruption in Peru, banking abuses in Iceland, pharmaceutical company influence peddling at the World Health Organization, and extra-judicial killings in Kenya. For its work, WikiLeaks won Amnesty International's New Media award in 2009 and the Freedom of Expression Award from the British magazine, Index of Censorship, in 2008.
But there's a larger, more troubling, point in all of this. When we redefine whistleblower and leaker to the point that they're considered "spies," and, at the same time, accuse journalists and media outlets of being co-conspirators and not being covered by the same basic rights that we supposedly honor in this country, the further and further we get from the basic ideals of a free and fair society. Again, those in power don't seem to much care for a free and fair society -- because they're in power. But for people who would like to have a government that actually represents the people, this should be a major concern.

A running discussion on the Cincinnati Reds and everything else in the baseball universe.

2010 Draft: Final Thoughts
1) First, Yasmani Grandal. I touched on Grandal before the draft and my position remains unchanged. He simply didn't seem to be the best value on the board at that point. The main reasons are related to both his performance and his position.
I agree with the philosophy that you take the best player available in the first round, regardless of position. However, I do think positional value HAS to be considered. Catcher is a premier defensive position and when you can add an impact bat at a premier defensive position, then you are potentially gaining a significant advantage over the competition.
When determining a player's value, you have to have a basis of comparison, then you can determine how far above or below that established benchmark a player may be. Typically, you see a player compared to league average or replacement level. Regardless of the specific benchmark, an above average catcher cannot have the same impact as an above average player at another position, as the catcher position has inherent playing time limitations.
In the NL, catchers are going to play only ~135 games, at most. In the AL, where teams have the benefit of the DH, a catcher with a plus hit-tool can contribute at DH on days when he isn't behind the dish. But, in the NL, if you have a catcher who is 25% above replacement level or league average, then he is undeniably valuable. That said, the playing time limitations mean that he won't have the same impact as a player at another position who is 25% above above average or replacement level. The other player will simply be able to provide his +25% production over many more games.
Additionally, the development path for catchers is significantly more perilous than for other positions. Catchers have more to learn on both sides of the game and can also get nicked up more easily than other players. As a result, there is more inherent risk in the catcher position than other non-pitching positions. So, I think you have to factor in the higher level of risk in making your first round selection.
Grandal has some impressive attributes, including switch hitting ability, plus on-base skills, and a potentially solid hit tool. However, when you factor in the inherently lesser impact of the catcher position, the higher level of development risk, and the lingering questions about both his bat and glove that I touched on in my pre-draft write-up means that Grandal is unlikely to be the best option at that point in the draft.
Personally, I have a hard time justifying passing up both college lhp Chris Sale and high school outfielder Josh Sale, both of whom were still on the board when the Reds selected Grandal. Chris Sale was one of the leaders in the nation in both strikeout rate and walk rate. He had a strong combination of stuff and polish. As for Josh Sale, Baseball America rated him as having both the best power and the best plate discipline in the entire high school draft class. One scout was quoted as saying that Sale had the best bat speed he had ever seen in an amateur. Josh also has plus make-up and a strong work ethic. Josh Sale might be the type of bat that, in hindsight, makes everyone wonder how he slipped so far down in the draft.
Grandal certainly has value, but from where I sit there were other players on the board that provided better value and more upside. Unless you have a catching prospect of the Joe Mauer, Matt Wieters, or Buster Posey class, then I'd have a hard time selecting a catcher with a first round pick. It's difficult to add true impact talent to the system, but the first round pick represents the best opportunity to do just that. I'm just not sure Grandal is the best option for doing so.
2) While I'm not wild about Grandal in the first round, I love LaMarre in round 2. LaMarre was someone I wrote up in my pre-draft list of guys the Reds should target. I'm quite surprised that LaMarre slid to the Reds in the second, but I'm ecstatic that he did. LaMarre has potentially five above-average tools, a high baseball IQ, and a hockey player mentality.
LaMarre signed quickly and has already made his debut for low-A Dayton. Some question whether LaMarre can stick in centerfield, but I think he has the speed and instincts to handle it just fine. To me, LaMarre represents very good value in the second round. For better or worse (probably for better most of the time), it's unusual that the Reds actually draft someone I'd like to see them draft, so LaMarre is a pick that I really liked.
3) In rounds 3 and 4, the Reds nabbed a couple of collegiate middle infielders. They selected junior Devin Lohman in round 3 out of Long Beach State. Lohman bats right and throws right, also stands 6-2 and 195 lbs. For the Dirtbags, Lohman hit .404/.471/.550 with 1 homer and and 7 steals in 15 attempts in 40 games. On the season, he hit only 1 homerun, but did manage to collect 17 doubles. Still, it is questionable how much power he'll have in the professional ranks with wood bats.
In round 4, the Reds grabbed Brodie Greene out of Texas A&M. Greene was a senior in 2010, bats right, throws right, stands 6-1 and weighs in at 195 lbs. Greene had very strong production for the Aggies, posting a .395/.462/.673 with 14 homeruns, 23 steals in 28 attempts, and a 31/24 K/BB ratio in 65 games. He has played both secondbase and shortstop at the collegiate level, but he obviously gets a boost in value if he can stick at shortstop. However, the bat has potential for a middle infielder.
Overall, it was a down draft class for MLB, but the Reds did manage to grab a few interesting prospects. The 2011 draft class is reported to be stacked with talent, but the Reds still have managed to grab a few prospects that may play significantly roles in the organization in the future.

I'm with you on Grandal Lark, Im hopeing the reds just don't sign him and take another first round pick for next year in the stacked 2011 draft.ReplyDelete
Well, I'm not typically a fan of doing that. Something about robbing a prospect of the chance of starting his professional career for a full year doesn't sit right with me. If it happens in a good faith dispute about a player's value, then that's one thing. But, drafting a player without a legitimate intention to sign him doesn't seem quite right.
Also, I do think there is a time value component to prospects and we'd have much less leverage in the next draft due to the fact that we wouldn't get a compensatory pick in the 2012 draft if we failed to sign our 2011 pick.
So, at this point, I think we sign Grandal and hope he moves quickly and reaches his ceiling. He's certainly not without value or upside, but I just don't like him in round 1 for the aforementioned reasons. Hopefully he proves me wrong.
Thanks for the comment!

Im not a fan of grandal either, people are saying he is a better prospect than meseroco which i completely disagree with. we shall seeReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 28, 2010 at 8:49 PM
Completely agree on Grandal with you Lark, pretty much spot on. Though I don't hate the pick I felt there was better value to be had, he's a guy I would have loved in the 2nd. And Smitty I agree Mes is the more talented prospect in my mind. Better arm just as much potential with the bat and I think a slightly better athlete overall. I'm thinking however that we won't see either up here until at least 2013 sometime (Mes could come up in '12 which is still ok). By then Hanigan will be 32-33 and perhaps a Mes/Grandal platoon (Grandal is far better from the left side than the right) would be something to brag about. Though Mes should potentially get more PA's and hit against some RHP's.
LaMarre is a solid guy in my book as well, kind of in the Heisey mold. Lots of solid tools, no elite ones but a true gamer which brings him up a slight tick.
Not sure what they were thinking with the Lohman pick. Hopefully we can at least get Cisco signed he could be a real solid arm.
Will (looking forward to 2011's draft).
Yeah, sounds about right. Mesoraco is finally taking the long awaited step forward, so it'll be interesting to see if he can sustain it at double-A.
That both Grandal and Mesoraco could arrive at roughly the same time is another interesting consideration in the Grandal selection. We don't seem to do all that well in trading away surplus prospect value for assets that better fit our needs.
It'll be interesting to see who steps forward out of the mid-late rounds guys. It was a pretty uninspiring draft class, but Grandal and LaMarre should provide good value. I was a bit surprised that the Reds didn't grab any pitchers until round 5.
As for Lohman and Greene, it looks like Lohman will probably have more positional and defensive value, while Greene will bring better offensive tools to the table.
Thanks for the comment!

Upgrade your denim jacket to be one-of-a-kind
It's time to remix this style staple and update your denim jacket for autumn with a few alterations. We all have a jacket sitting at home that has either been over-worn or is collecting dust in your wardrobe. Follow these tips to revamp it and give it new life. Design challenged? Don't stress, this DIY is soeasy you will have everyone fooled. Grab some spare change, and set aside a free hour and turn your tired old denim jacket into a total original.
Iron on transfers
Iron transfers are the best thing out since denim, and if you haven't had your hands on any yet get ready to have your life transformed! There are so many options for iron on transfers, from paper that you can print on, cut out and iron straight onto your clothes, to embroided patches and iron on letters. They will make a big statement on your jacket for not a lot of time and money in return.
Pictured, clockwise from top left: Meri Meri Pineapple Iron On Patch from David Jones, Create Handmade Iron or Sew On Motifs (Ice Cream) from BIG W, 8 Pack Iron On Menders from Kmart, Iron on Letter ('B') from Lincraft, Subtitled Heartbreaker Iron On Patches from General Pants Co., Create Handmade Iron or Sew On Motifs (Rocket) from BIG W, Light T-shirt Transfer Paper from Kmart, Typo Bieber Iron On Patch.
Add the finishing touch to your jacket with some funky trim around the edges. Go for a subtle look with a simple thin trim around the cuffs of the jacket, or if you are feeling adventurous add a bit of bling with a gold chain trim around the collar. You can use things like fur, lace, ribbon and pipping sercured with either fabric glue or hand stitching.

Fabric paint
Ready for the next difficulty level? Put your creativity to the test with fabric paint. Pick a colour palette and create any design. If you feel like your painting skills aren't up to scratch, go for a fabric marker as they stain the fabric and last when you wash your jacket and are easier to apply and are more forgiving.

Have a bit of fun hand stitching designs onto your denim and don't stress about making mistakes because worst comes to worst just unpick and removed the embroidery thread. All you need is thread and a sewing needle and you are ready to go (maybe after watching a tutorial or two!). This idea is perfect for those not wanting to make too many alterations to their beloved jacket as you can make small, simple designs and patterns.

Finishing touches
Just missing that special touch? Remember just three words; studs, sequins and buttons. All you need is a little sewing kit and you are prepared to make those finishing touches to your denim jacket. Go for a simple look with a few studs here and there, or bedazzle the back of the jacket with a unique design!

Hello everyone,
I've got this great idea for a program but don't really know how to get
going on it. I am essentially working on a "Chat" Program. I've
created a simple basic command line chat program where one computer
acts as a "Server" and a client connects to it over the network. The
two computers can then send messages back and forth to the other. This
basically follows the Sun Java example (KnockKnockServer and
KnockKnockClient). Now comes for the customization that I don't really
know where to begin. I want multiple clients to connect to the
"Server", and when the "Server" ask the clients a question all the
clients get the same question. When the clients get the question they
can answer multiple times until the user at the "Server" stops
accepting answers. Then the Clients' last answer is recorded.
My question is basically "how?" I've tried to create different threads
(java.sun KKMultiServer) but this isn't really what I want and I don't
know how to change it to make it what I want. Does anyone have any
Ideas, or where I should look for answers?

I'm not one for calling out individual players on this board, but their fashion choices on the sideline are fair game, right?
Anyone else notice that Jacks sported a white-and-red Titleist cap during the first half of the UTC game? A dressed-out player accessorizing his uniform with a personal, non-team-related product—in all of my years attending Wofford football games, that was a first. Someone sitting below me shouted to him about it. I couldn't hear what was said, but Jacks smiled broadly and mimicked a golf swing for the crowd. I noticed too that Goodson, nearly always standing beside Jacks, wore a black-and-gold Wofford cap. After halftime Jacks had switched to a gold Wofford cap.
I won't try reading into the matter. Perhaps it was an honest oversight. All I will say is that I didn't feel like the Titleist cap was a very good reflection of Jacks's focus for the game, to say nothing of his team spirit.

If you had chosen to learn about photography 20 years ago you would have had to learn a great deal more about film speed, exposure value, shutter speeds, and focal length. You may have needed to have your own dark room in order to develop your photos as well as needing much more equipment in order to get great photos. Today\'s budding photographer has it much easier since the advent of digital technology. While photography is still considered an incredible art it is much easier to do.
To develop photos you had to deal with chemicals and a drying process that was time consuming. The chemicals were toxic and dangerous to breathe in. With the digital cameras that are in use today we have instantaneous photo gratification and can immediately see whether the photo we took was good or bad. The simple act of hooking your camera up to your computer will enable you to print your photos with no more wait at the photo processing stand.
While very few professional photographers actually use film and darkrooms these days, every one of them still edit their photos to create professional looking results. No matter their skill or the expense of their camera, professional photographers rarely take photos that require zero editing. The secret tool of professional photographers is Adobe Photoshop.
The incredible array of tools and features of Adobe Photoshop is what makes it number one among professional photographers.
Photoshop contains all the necessary tools to turn an average picture into a photograph that looks as if it was taken by a professional in the best lighting condition possible. Every tool that a photographer would need to edit their photos is contained within this program.
One of the nicest things about Photoshop is its simplicty. There are no hazardous chemicals or poor lighting conditions or delays in development. Everything you need is easily accessible and quickly learned.
No one can predict the weather and lighting issues are one of the main things that can ruin a photo. Regardless of the lighting situation, you can make every photo look as if it were taken under the best lighting condition possible with Adobe Photoshop. Another common problem is red-eye and Photoshop allows you to remove red-eyes quickly and easily. You can also remove objects in the photograph as well as replace it with something else as if it was really there. For example, you can remove overhead electrical wires from the photos you take of a particular landmark. You can even remove complete strangers that can potentially ruin a perfect group photo of your friends. You can even change out the background in a particular photograph with Adobe Photoshop.
Quickly and easily restore cherished photograhs with a simple scanner and the tools in Photoshop. Print your results out on high quality photo paper and fool your friends and family with the actual age of the photograph itself. The task is simple and is not time consuming. This simple job is much easier with Photoshop than if you had to manually do it using a darkroom and chemicals.
These are only a few of the things you can do with this program. If photography is your hobby, then you will definitely see that Adobe Photoshop will be able to help you out in ways that you never thought possible. With this software, you can be sure that you will be able to make any photos you take look professional.

Just got the same thing with the Amiga core.
It's got the be my OTG hub or the de10-nano at this point because I've swapped everything else.
Sorgelig wrote:Not sure why need so much secrecy. Many cores are far from perfect which is not preventing them to be on github and allow anyone to test and report the bugs.
I understand what you say, but each one has it own methods, personal preferences and even style. Personally, at least in this case, I prefer to have a core a little bit more polished before a public release. Again, I expect it won't take too long.

If you're a fan of gritty fantasy, you've probably already read (and re-read?) Joe Abercrombie's The First Law. If you haven't, you ought to.
Now. Click on those links and drag out your wallet. Or hit your library. Or borrow them from that friend who always buys books but never reads them, like Gatsby.
Regardless of your methods, I now assume you're familiar with the world described in those five (so far) books. I don't know about you, but I started thinking about playing in that world before I was fifty pages into the first book.
I thought, "You know, this reminds me so much of The Riddle of Steel."
Then I thought, "Maybe this is my excuse to finally run Burning Wheel."
Then I thought, "You know, GURPS 4e could probably handle everything this world can throw at it."
And then I thought, and thought, and thought some more, and now I'm all thought out. There are tons of options, and many of them are excellent. But I'm spoiled for choice - I can't decide and the arguments in my head have all started to repeat themselves.
So now I want to know - What system would you run a game in this setting with? In your answer, please explain:
- What system you would choose
- What about the system makes it fit the world
- Why you would choose that game over all others

This document, together with the hello-world plugin, shows you how to get started with the plugin development.
What Can Plugins Do?
Hudson defines extensibility points, which are interfaces or abstract classes that model an aspect of a build system. Those interfaces define contracts of what need to be implemented, and Hudson allows plugins to contribute those implementations. See this document for more about extension points.
In this document, we'll be implementing a Builder that says hello. (built-in builders include Ant, Maven, and shell script. Builders build a project.)
Setting Up Environment
To develop a plugin, you need Maven 2 (why?) and JDK 5.0 or later. If this is the first time you use Maven, make sure Maven can download stuff over the internet.
Next, you'll have to have Maven download the necessary tools for you. Create an empty directory, download this pom.xml in there, and run "mvn package". This should download a bunch of tools.
$ cd /tmp $ wget https://hudson.dev.java.net/source/browse/*checkout*/hudson/hudson/tools/bootstrap/pom.xml $ mvn package $ rm pom.xml
Finally, add the following to your
~/.m2/settings.xml (Windows users will find them in
c:\Documents and Settingsyourname\.m2\settings.xml):
<settings> ... <pluginGroups> ... <pluginGroup>org.jvnet.hudson.tools</pluginGroup> </pluginGroups>
If you are building behind a http proxy, you will need to use Maven 2.0.5 or newer as there is a well known bug fetching artifacts from a https:// repository via a http proxy with Maven 2.0.4.
People very familiar with Maven may be wondering why not just add <pluginRepository> defintions to your settings.xml and not use this "strange" bootstrap/pom.xml method. This is due to MNG-2261 which causes problems locating plugins when you are in a directory with no pom.xml. The bootstrap/pom.xml trick should download everything you need into your local repository and bypass the bug.
Creating a New Plugin
To start a new plugin, run the following maven command:
$ mvn org.jvnet.hudson.tools:maven-hpi-plugin:1.11:create
This will ask you a few question, like the groupId (the maven jargon for the package name) and the artifactId (the maven jargon for your project name), then create a skeleton plugin from which you can start with. Make sure you can build this:
$ cd newly-created-directory $ mvn package
You should then generate IDE project files, so that you can develop a plugin productively.
// if you are using IntelliJ $ mvn -DdownloadSources=true idea:idea // if you are using Eclipse $ mvn -DdownloadSources=true eclipse:eclipse
NetBeans users should consider using this NetBeans module. Due to a bug in Eclipse, Eclipse users will need to remove
src/main/resources from the source folder list after projects are imported to the workspace. See this e-mail thread for more details.
At this point, from your IDE, you should be able to see all files and all the needed libraries complete with their source code.
Plugin Workspace Layout
The plugin workspace consists of the following major pieces:
Maven uses it for building your pluginsrc/main/javaJava source files of the plugin
Jelly/Groovy views of the plugin. See this document for more about it.
Static resources of the plugin, such as images and HTML files.
Source Code
Let's take a look at the source code. A plugin's main entry point is a PluginImpl class that extends from Plugin. Once Hudson detects your plugin (via its
@plugin javadoc annotation — this gets copied into manifest during the build), it will create an instance, and invokes methods.
Most of the time, a plugin class just registers extension points. See the source code for more about how a
Builder is implemented and what it does.
Developing a Plugin
Run the following command to launch Hudson with your plugin:
$ export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8000,suspend=n" $ mvn hpi:run
If you open
http://localhost:8080/ in your browser, you should see the Hudson page running in Jetty. The
MAVEN_OPTSportion launches this whole thing with the debugger port 8000, so you should be able to start a debug session to this port from your IDE.
Once this starts running, keep it running. Jetty will pick up all the changes automatically.
- When you make changes to view files in
src/main/resourcesor resource files in
src/main/webapp, just hit F5 in your browser to see the changes.
- When you change Java source files. Compile them in your IDE and Jetty should automatically redeploy Hudson to pick up those changes There is no need to run
mvnat all.
Distributing a Plugin
To create a distribution image of your plugin, run the following Maven goal:
$ mvn package
This should create
target/*.hpi file. Other users can use Hudson's web UI to upload this plugin to Hudson (or place it in
Releasing to hudson.dev.java.net
If you have the commit access to the java.net hudson project (and we are giving it away for any plugin developer — you just need to ask), then the easiest way to publish a plugin is to run the maven release plugin:
$ mvn -Djava.net.id=myjavanetid release:prepare release:perform
This will perform all the usual release activity, and it will also post the plugin to the download section. Also, see this document to set up login information so that the uploading can be done programatically.
On Windows you may need to install a CVS client and change the command in the following way (otherwise you will get a CVS authorization error):
$ mvn -Dmaven.scm.provider.cvs.implementation=cvs_native -Djava.net.id=myjavanetid release:prepare release:perform
Other Tips
- Consider running Maven like
mvn -o ...to avoid hitting repositories every time. This will make various operations considerably faster.
- Subscribe to
email@example.com here so that we can get in touch with you.
- When you bump up the version of Hudson you depend on, make sure to run
mvn cleanonce, in particular to delte
target/workthat Jetty uses. Otherwise your Jetty may continue to pick up old left-over jar files.

I think we're not alone now. There does seem to be someone else around, to invert the immortal words of the '60s (and '80s) hit.
By the time I sat with a roomful of other people to watch Steve Jobs unveil the first iPod in 2001, music listening was already well on its way to becoming a solitary activity — a transition spurred by recorded music, then headphones, the Walkman, and the flood of MP3s transmitted over the internet to our computers, where we mostly listened with headphones on our lonesome.
Sure, Napster involved connecting to other people's music collections, the same way we connect to our friends' favorite music through the all YouTube music posted on Facebook. But for most of the digital music revolution, we have listened alone.
The pendulum appears ready to swing back the other way. Although the Microsoft Zune, with its emphasis on "the social," has gone to that great gadget bin in the sky, weightless apps that run on multiple platforms are proving far more successful at bringing listeners together than a single hardware platform ever could be.
The most interesting apps we're seeing these days, some of which have yet to be released, buck the decades-long trend towards solitary listening. Here they are, listed in alphabetical order:
AudioVroom applies game mechanics to music. In order to rack up points used to listen to ad-free music stations on the iPhone (pending approval) you need to "bump" phones with other users, creating stations that both of you can listen to, combining your musical tastes into a single station.
Automatic DJ, admittedly more of a hack than a consumer-facing app at this point, takes pictures of people at parties to let them DJ the music just by being there. It uses facial recognition to figure out who a person is, mines various APIs to determine which dance-party-friendly music they like, and plays it for everyone at the party.
As mentioned above, YouTube is already a great tool for sharing music on Facebook and other networks, but ChatMusic takes the concept to the next level by creating listening rooms where friends can listen to music embedded from YouTube together, and any member of the group can contribute tracks to the playlist.
Currently in private beta (as in you have to apply), Listening Room lets like-minded fans get together in a private room, play MP3s from their collections, and chat about it.
The Music WithMe app lets you share the music you're listening to on your Android phone with your Facebook and Twitter pals, regardless of which app you're using to play a given song.
The Roqbot iPhone app comes in two forms: one for venues, so that they can enhance the ambience with intelligently-selected music, and a free one for patrons, to let them play songs jukebox-style and vote on each others' picks.
SoundTrckr doesn't let you bump phones to merge stations the way AudioVroom does, but the fact that it lets you listen to people based on their proximity to you (sort of like Color for music) and lets you see their profiles makes it a good way to meet people in real life through a shared love of music.
Inspired by the dual-jacked Walkman of yore, wahwah.fm (private beta) lets you listen to music as you broadcast it to your friends. Everyone listens at the same time, so you can chat about what you're all hearing.
Youzakk chooses the optimal music for venues to play based on Foursquare check-ins and taste profiles scraped from social networks.
