Nestled between Chinatown and Downtown Los Angeles, this two-day festival event spans four massive stages and will feature performances by more than 90 musical guests, stand-up comedians, and potentially a live goat or two, (not kidding). As well, you'll experience a heap of local food trucks and retail vendors from across Southern California's expansive independent community.
Come join Incase and an expected 26,000 music lovers as we all laze the day away and celebrate the arts. By the way, we'll be giving away custom-made FYF tote bags and limited edition FYF Snap Cases for iPhone 4S to 500 patrons per day. We look forward to having you with us.

I don't want Romney's version of change including:
• A severely conservative Supreme Court.
• Tax and jobs plan that doesn't make mathematical sense as most experts say.
• 1% percent control of the nation,
• Leader who says "corporations are people", and puts the needs of corporations
before the people.
• Higher taxes for middle class and lower taxes for the rich.
• Medicare taken bankrupt in 2016, as reports indicate,
• Overturn of Roe vs Wade and return women's rights to the 1950s,
• Leader who condemns 47 percent of Americans.
• Leader with hot temper and controlling demeanor who is eager to start war against Iran.
I'm very pleased to stay with reliable, proven Obama-Biden who are taking America FORWARD - not back to the Bush years!

Very interesting!
Residents of the two states that know Romney best -- Massachusetts where he was governor and now lives, and Michigan where he was born -- both strongly favor Obama, not Romney. They must know something that Romney supporters in Ohio don't know!
Richard Krumreig
7:10 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I did not realize that the President of the United States could actually overturn Roe v Wade.....actually he can not....read the Constitution. Massachusetts and Michigan are traditionally democratic states...not a big surprise they favor Obama. If you believe that the federal government should have more influence on your life than it already has....be my guest vote for Obama. I believe that Romney offers the best opportunity to turn the economy around and improve life for everyone. Obama clearly wants more of us to become dependent on the government. I would be interested to know if as the democratic ticket keeps insisting that you are better off today than you were when they took office. I personally am not!

Romney? Are you kidding?? Where's your critical reasoning? Romney is a used idea salesman; a glad-handing, sweaty-palmed, transparent, self-serving huckster. A genuine corporate pawn who won't be pinned down to ANY real position on ANY important government issue. That is why he avoids reporters. No more "W!"
Joseph Robert
3:01 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Romney can't be trusted, as Republican leaders, media and experts agree!
Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican and Sec. of State under President George W. Bush:
"I'm not quite sure which governor Romney we would be getting with respect to foreign policy."
Politifact: 42 percent of Romney's comments in recent months have been false, much higher than Obama's comments.
Salt Lake City Tribune, largest daily paper in Republican and Mormon-led Utah: "Romney (is) willing to say anything to get elected."
Rick Santorum, former Republican Senator: "This is someone (Romney) who doesn't have a core. He has been on both sides of almost every single issue in the past 10 years. "
FactCheck.org: "Romney distorts facts on Jeep, auto bailout."
Brit Humes of Fox News: "Republicans do not trust Romney"

Romney's biggest problem: VIDEOTAPE.
12:27 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Hey - who was in the room to VIDEOTAPE Romney......was it an Obama person.......so how is that being transparent? Yes, 47% of the country won't vote for Romney because they are used to being taken care of & I don't mean our elder's who are on Medicare/Social Security....which, in fact, your candidate took millions/billions out to do what........ObamaCare.....I am an elder and not fond of what has happened to our hard monies that went into SS & Medicare to help us when we retired...Thank You!

Shirley, you're not actually blaming the videographer for what your candidate clearly said with conviction, are you? Did that guy with the camera write the script for Mr. Romney?
4:55 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Nope, not blaming the videographer at all, just was wondering who did the video?Thanks for your reply - quite enlightening.
Richard Krumreig
7:17 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
After hearing the comments I am convinced that most commentators are taking them out of context. Romney was at a fund raising event. He is clearly saying that candidate Romney will not be able to convince the 47% of the American people that are either dependent on the government or die hard democrats to vote for him. His job as a candidate is to get the other 53% to support him. Of course most people have only based their opinions on what they heard on the news. Just my thoughts.
3:01 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Obama up in Ohio and other swing states in early voting:
But I have to wonder what any Romney voters are thinking. Who knows Romney better than anybody? How about the state who actually voted him in before, as Governor. So let's take a moment to look at how the only state who has any working knowledge about how Romney governs, is voting...
The average of all polls, whether you believe some to be conservative or liberal leaning, still gives Obama a 20+ point lead. So my question is, why aren't more people paying attention to this? You can't shrug it off that it is MA and they always lean this way, because they voted Romney himself in as a Republican. The reality is that Romney can't even get close in this election in the only state that he has governed before, where the people actually know what you get if you vote for Romney. If he was the success that he pretends to be in MA, don't you think that he would be leading in MA or at the very least, have a close race going on there?

October Jobs report
with the unemployment rate ticking up to 7.9 percent but the economy adding a better-than-expected 171,000 jobs.
At the same time, the number of unemployed grew by 170,000, roughly the same amount -- to 12.3 million. .......................really +1,000 jobs gained thats 20 jobs per state or 1 new job for every 4 counties in ohio
Richard Krumreig
7:23 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Do not forget to count the roughly 11 million people who are unemployed and who have stopped looking for work. Under the federal governments ingenious system those are no longer counted as unemployed....not Obama's fault, just the way they figure it. The actual unemployment number is closer to 14%. There is also a large number of people that are underemployed including many recent college grads. The present course of economic improvement clearly is not working.....a change is in order.
7:21 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Mr. Romney or Mr. Obama are both ant-freedom + anti-civil liberties candidates. Suggest you read, "Support for Kill List and NDAA make Obama and Romney Unfit for Office. American shouldn't be choosing to throw away their own civil liberties this election.

Romney/Ryan 2012
8:39 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I saw Obama yesterday claiming the new job numbers are proof that his policies are working and that we are in an economic recovery... Fact is, that is not the truth, or even close to the truth...
First, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9% and the year-to-date monthly average of 157,000 payroll jobs is barely enough to keep up with population growth -- much less make up for the 8 million jobs lost during the Great Recession.
Second, the so-called real unemployment rate (U6) remains elevated at 14.6%, albeit down from 14.7% the prior month. Similarly, the labor participation rate is at 63.8%, up from its multi-decade low but still incredibly weak.
Third, average hourly earnings fell a penny in October and average hours worked fell to 34.4 from 34.5 in September.
Stagnant wages means "we're not generating income," Reinhart says. "That's a problem in terms of the durability of an economic expansion, which is usually fueled by consumption. To get consumption you've got to generate income."
Also, just look at your checkbook. We are paying a lot more for everything now than we did in 2008. The price of gas has doubled. At the same time, wages have gone down, and that's if you're lucky to have a job.
In 2008, 25 banks went out of business. In 2012, 48 banks have gone out of business. Almost double the amount. Does that sound like recovery to you? Don't believe the Obama lies!!

Romney's record during his one term as Mass. governor.
Interesting read here. Tells of his politics and his attitude.

The episode was good. They finally introduced Looker and it was cool to see Ampharos in the episode.
Since there's basically nothing going on here that's of much importance, I'm going to save my precious lead for those parts that are important.
- Ash & co. are on a train heading to Lake Acuity, which I would like to mention that they're basically the only passengers inside.
- Hey!! Looker is here, & he's giving away free meals! Now all the beggars in the streets will no longer starve to death.
- When I say beggars in this, I mean TR, as they're the only other people on this train, because these guys are %$@#ing stalkers.
- This train is powered by an Ampharos. Whyyyy can't this train be powered by conventional means? They always have to rely on Pokemon for propulsion of certain vehicles.
- The railroad light up ahead is red. uh-oh!!! Something has come up, so Looker & the engineer go out to look.
- By this time, it all goes downhill from here, because everything we see here, from the TR Appearance, to them snagging everyone's Pokemon, to a few of them ending up in the middle of nowhere, are all so cliche. So... it's nap-nap time.
- Looker!! He's instigating an abandoned mine with his ultraviolet goggles, & he finds some fresh footprints.
- Vas ist das?? He's found a piece of evidence hidden underneath something! He's earned my respect after all.
- & then we get back to our original snoresville... bleh...
- Before we know it, the train can continue on. Yay! We can finally get out of this boring place.
- So, it seems that TG was inside that mine. Why? We shall see...
As it stands, this episode was "supposed" to be an introduction of Looker. Fact is, he took a backseat for all the other stuff that was happening that we've all seen before. He hasn't gotten nearly enough screen time, so as a character intro ep., I give this two big thumbs down.
Lmao Looker said he was really taken by the scenery or w/e he said he was really taken by. I didn't watch this in Japanese but I thought Ash and co. knew who he was. I can't wait to see him in the next episode with TG(Both the 1 coming Thursday and the 1 with Shellos).
Ash's rotated team right now
credit goes to ~.:Northern Lights:.~
If you think the Sinnoh saga has been the best saga of the whole show, copy and paste this into your signature! (started by FlameRose)
If you deny any sort of existence of Iris's hair, put this into your sig (started by 5ilVer)
okish episode. It was good to see looker though and it is also intresting to find out hes an undercover detective. It was also good to see Pikachu, piplup and Happiny working together as well. Apart from the Looker bits and the exploraraton it was just really a filler episode for the next episode with Paul and Ashs match
Good Episode. I love Ampharos.
I wasn't too fond of this episode, it didn't do much besides pass time between Ash battling Paul and introducing the creepy policeman Looker (who has a name like that in real life, anyway?). Plus, it was another episode, one of many, with the twerps and their pokemon being separated. It could have been better.

I hate chaining. -_-
Borderline-filler. Only interesting part was the 10 seconds at the end with Looker. Galactic stole Uxie?
This episode looked really nice, I loved the setting and the glossiness of it. I thought it was funny how Happiny lifted that huge boulder with no problem and I'm glad Sudowoodo learned Hammer Arm, although he'll never really get to use it since Brock hardly battles. This was an alright episode.
Good episode. The Pokemon were working well together in this one, and Looker is quite amusing. Though he did something else rather than introducing.
Nothing too interesting really happened in this episode.
The only awesome thing about this episode was finally seeing an Ampharos!
Yeah. Not too much to write home about, was there?
Oh, wait! That's right! That last part with Looker investigating in the blocked tunnel and finding that Team Galactic Emblem and then putting it into an evidence bag! I can see it now: CSI: Sinnoh!

You know your mom spends more of your money than just on groceries. Shes hittin the booze too. Shes just drunk dialing you
Can someone PLEASE tell me what was the point of Sudowoodo learning Hammer Arm if it isn't going to USE it???
Team Galactic is going to appear regularly from now on....they must be close to completion of their plans
This episode was terrible. Its like Looker was thrown into a generic filler episode.
Lookers scenes were literally the only good part of the episode, and his scenes come out to about 2-3 minutes in total.
This episode was alright. It was great to finally see Looker for the 1st time. It was great to see Sudowoodo learn the powerful Hammer Arm attack. It was funny when Piplup tried many times to break a boulder, and failed, but then Happiny lifted and threw the boulder. It was great to find out Looker's backstory. It was cool to see Ampharos for the 1st time in awhile, interesting how it knows Signal Beam. The ending was really an interesting cliffhanger. Looker started his investigating, and they found Team Galactic in the tunnel.
i lol when happiny picked up and spun the giant rock, and the said "ha-ppinyyyyyy"
"Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head"
Happiny is awesome

My current novel draft is realistic contemporary YA fiction, and so I've been reading a lot of realistic contemporary YA novels lately. For the most part, I've been impressed with what people have recommended to me: I'm finding YA authors who are willing to deal with big questions (how do we make meaning of life? how can we respond to the reality of suffering? how can we relate to each other?) in stories that are engaging enough to keep me up until 3 a.m. There's no shortage of great writers in YA fiction today, and the bar for excellence in craft is set incredibly high.
At the same time I've admired current realistic YA writing overall, though, I've been thinking a lot about the treatment of sex in the genre overall. It's no secret, of course, that there is more sex in YA fiction than there was…well, at any other time in the not-so-long history of YA fiction. But I guess I associated sex mostly with the likes of the Gossip Girls series more than with idea-driven books like, say, John Green's.
The most common problem religious critics have with sex in books is that of pornography: that even made-up sex can cause real arousal, and that on-demand arousal can cause significant spiritual and social problems. Today, though, I want to skip over that discussion entirely to talk about what roles sex seems to be playing in the stories I read in the lives of the characters. What does sex mean to them–and what does that mean for us?
Content advisory: there will be some sexual details in my discussion of YA texts. Continue reading

This IS your Fathers Star Trek.
Can anyone remember when we used to be explorers? - Jean Luc Picard
Previous versions of SoA 2
The Original Sins version, and Entrenchment version of SoA 2 is no longer supported!If any 3rd party wishes to port Diplomacy, and Rebellion changes and upgrades to Entrenchment, or Original Sins, you have our blessing. We just do not have the time, or manpower to do it ourselves. If you do this please contact the team so we can give proper credit where it is due and post links.
SoaSE: Entrenchment v1.055
Sacrifice of Angels 2 v0.4.E65
SOA2 Entrenchment Fleet Mini-Mod
This release is not complete in any way shape, or form, but it is playable. Please read all of the applicable read me files. This version is the last version released for SotSE: Entrenchment. Balance has NOT BEEN ADDRESSED 100%. Not all units, are in the mod. The UI is a rough early version of the LCARS UI. SoA2 0.4E as with SoA2 OS is available only as a COURTESY for those that do not own Diplomacy, Trinity, or Rebellion. The Entrenchment version of SoA 2 is no longer supported. So Use this mod AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Original SoaSE v1.95
Sacrifice of Angels 2 v0.40S
SoA2 OS is a complete rebuild of 0.03c using some of the 0.4e components. It is a very old, and incomplete version of the mod dating back to 2008. It does not have the same features as the expansion versions of the mod do. Use this mod AT YOUR OWN RISK. SoA2 OS is available only as a COURTESY for those that do not own Entrenchment, Diplomacy, or Rebellion.
Understand that Original Sins of a Solar Empire is VERY limited compared to Entrenchment and Diplomacy. Most of the mod features we have in the expansion versions of SoA2 are NOT in Original Sins. Example: Dynamic Ship Movement, Star Bases, Structure Upgrades, etc. So this version of SoA2 will be a different experience than the expansion versions.
I never play a Romulans so bare with me, since the AI never uses cloak anyway, why don't you guys(psychoak) make the antimatter cost so high that cloaking as a cheat would be very limited?
specifically at a star there are a few ways to "beat" the AI, just build four Starbases and build lots of bombers. As Federration the Starbases can even heal each other making them nearly indestructible and the Fed super heavy super fast bomber will take out complete borg fleets. I try to keep stars logistically not relevant when I make own maps for AI play.
The main problem with cloak and AI seams to me that the AI will not use their "force uncloak" abilities.
edit: if you generate your own random maps, place three to four asteroids (I mix with priate bases) close around the star, so some shortcuts are created that make the AI avoid the star.
But for the Romulans, cloaking isn't cheating... it's their only real strong point. Without it they're toast.
I wish the AI would use it correctly... but most often I'm playing the Rommies against the AI, so for me it isn't really an issue. But I don't like that I can't mass cloak a fleet or squadron... it just doesn't want to work right.
One thing the Mod team might want to consider... I switched my Rommie cap ships abilities a little and gave the Malak, D'Deridex and D'Verix a tractor beam. Reason being the TNG episode where Jordie got snatched up and brainwashed... his shuttle was snatched my a big warbirds tractor beam... So what I did was to take away one ability and replace it with the tractor, which actually limits what a warbird can do even more. Now these 3 have a cloak & tractorbeam, along with only one regular and one 6th level ability. That's it...
Just a thought.
Cool! See if you notice what I did... that the Borg end up assimilating so many other ships they can't make cubes. If this is the case, it might be a problem, but also a way to beat them.
Autocast. Frigate cloaks trigger just by being on autocast, so when you want to cloak a fleet, select all and switch it to auto. When they finish, switch it back off and use your fleet decloak to take them out. You'll have to manually cloak the elites.
Cloaking is primarily a multiplayer function. There simply isn't any functionality in the AI for combating it. Our choice is no cloaks, or people only cloaks. The limited ways in which the AI can functionally use a cloak are greatly inferior to it's actual potential, and prevent ease of use by players.
In the past, it was set up to use the cloak to avoid dying, a functional usage for the AI, except the autocast condition worked for removal as well. It further had the problem of cloaking and decloaking a fleet requiring that you manually triggered each and every ship. I'm still improving the AI's ability usage, but a cloaking AI is out of the question for Diplomacy. A multi-function strategic ability with distinct separate uses just isn't possible to design for within the confines of the ability code. Perhaps Rebellion will bring us something here, but I doubt it. The kinds of abilities in play have no functional relation to the problem at hand.
The next release will have much better countering though, the current versions are ill conceived, player minded entities. They work perfectly, they just aren't AI friendly designs.
Well, it depends on what they assimilate. It seems all well and good when a bunch of puny Marquis raiders show up in your system. When four or five Ferangi cruisers (which are effectively capital ships) show up at once, not so much fun.
The game I was playing they had already assimilated something like 12 of the Ferengi ships.... I don't know exactly how many points they cost, but that's a lot.
And while those Ferengi ships are no laughing matter, I would much perfer taking on a fleet of them vs. just one cube!!!
Well, I think I manged to luck out finally and nail the Borg on vicious with a non-Rom race.
The Federation are impossible to use due to their reliance on a few select cruisers for buffs that are quickly destroyed. The Dominion are too dependent on slow cap ships that can be assimilated. The best chance, oddly enough, is Klingons in a tiny map (like the smallest one with 7 planets).
I set the Borg to researcher, then quickly sprinted to the K'Vort class. Then I spammed the heck out of them and sent them in. You have to get lucky, with their cap ship and coffins out of the system. Kill the frigate factory, then fall back and make reinforcements. You'll have a tough battle when they show back up, but keep them from building another factory and keep up the reinforcements. Eventually you can kill their cap ship and then you just sneak a few planet bombers in the back side and nail their planet (they will likely have some defenses on one side of their planet that aren't worth killing as long as they don't have a factory).
I have to point out this strategy is heavily reliant on luck of the draw with what the AI does with their ships and when you can attack. I figure it probably works about once in 5-10 attempts. However, the borg's advantage just keeps growing later in the game, so hitting them early is your best bet aside from the cloaking device tactics. They can't even afford a single research station, and you can keep spamming the K'Vort.
On a large map, the Klingons may have a chance if there were a singular choke point. The Klingon disruptor turrets can do over 260 damage, and you can build up to 25 of them in a grav well. 25 x 260 = 6500 DPS. Even a borg cube will die in less than 30 seconds under that kind of firepower, and if you have a shipyard in the middle it won't even destroy one turret. The problem is that there aren't any maps like that, and there are only so many places you can build.
The Fek'Lhr can be researched quicker than the K'vort and has an anti-borg ability.
Actually I have found Dominion to be my best Anti Borg Fleet. The high end Cap ships have such high shield reserves that they can actually last long enough to do some real damage without being assimilated since assimilation requires all shields to be depleted. Your cardassian ships make great fodder to use up the assimilation abilities. Also IIRC, having a leviathan with disloyalty active also causes captured cardassian ships to suicide. Also, the breen ships are great for disrupting the borg long enough for you to attack.
Cloaking in this mod IS the reason i have grey hair now (along with a thousand other reason all related to this mod as well lol). First we had one hell of a time making a functional cloak (not phase cloak). Then we had to find a way to make it work on all military units in a faction. Then we had to find a way for the AI to use it.. needless to say we failed there. So we stuck with the multiplayer functionality. We need the AI to function for this mod to work. However we don't need AI cloaking that bad to where it totaly breaks the AI. Some things we just have to live with.
Definitely not the function of that ability system. If they blow up it's in the typical fashion.
aren't the dominion also canonically overpowered, though obviously not to the extent of the borg?
Yes, and No. They were very OP in the first dominion war, and the Jem Hadar ships are still pretty powerful, but focus mostly on dealing damage. The jemmy elites can tank, but their weakness is lack of support abilities. On the other hand the Cardassian, and Breen ships are pretty weak. They are cannon fodder after all. With the exception of the Keldon, and Stations. The Cardies and Breen specialize in support abilities which the Jem Hadar need to stay in the fight. So it is kind of a symbiotic relationship. Though the cardies without a keldon, or "overseer ship" present will rebel at first opportunity.
That depends on the size of the fleet. For example, a respectable mid-level cube can do over 1500 DPS, and a Borg Assimilator can do over 1000. Even if you have a Devastator with 18,000 SP, you can lose your shielding in less than 30 seconds if they decide to target a cap ship. Sure, there's plenty of fodder for assimilation, but the Borg cap ships seem to understand that the ability that allows you to assimilate cap ships should be used on cap ships (even though it can also be used on cruisers). I watched helplessly as my fleet with a Leviathan, Devastator, two Enslavers, plus about 30 cannon-fodder cruisers managed to lose half the cruisers (destroyed or assimilated) and one of the Devastators to Borg assimilation. That took well under a minuted. After I watched the shields on my Leviathan go down 20 seconds later, I called game over.
I have a tough time with believing the Fek'Lhr is much better, especially in bulk. I suppose it's a little more HP+SP or DPS per supply, but it takes longer to build and doesn't get the upgrades available for Bird-of-Prey ships, which are nice. Although it has anti-Borg abilities, they are modest; I fully endorse having a couple Fek'Lhrs, but a fleet of them doesn't seem to be well-suited. Since the point is to rush, I prefer the K'Vort over the Fek'Lhr, though I suspect the choice won't make or break most games.
One thing for people to keep in mind - if you set the AI to one of the purple settings (i.e., one of the hardest two settings when the difficulty icon has a purple background), the AI cheats. I suspect some people don't realize this, but the AI gets a discount on ships/structures/upgrades, and possibly faster build times. I've confirmed this by saving games then re-loading as the other team; there is no way to actually build that fast.
We already know that Cruel, and Vicious AI cheats. However if you use Easy, or Normal AI its the opposite. The AI will bankrupt itself researching elites, and doesnt expand more than a few worlds. Then it will just sit stagnant for the rest of the game. Hard AI is a dice roll. Sometimes it works like it should other times it doesnt. This is why we wish we could mod the AI. So we can overcome this problem.
Here comes my little AI "mod". It is not really a mod as it is basically only two simple research items:
Research A is a Tier 0, no cost, early research giving the AI an income bonus while making research more expensive. This way most of the money is going into ships and the AI can build a decent empire while not overtaking the player on research. There is a certain random factor about when the AI decides to do this research, which actually adds to game play as AIs develop differently.
Research B is an Tier 7 high cost research with multiple levels. Under the assumption that the AI can effort it only having a decent empire, it takes away income bonus step by step while increasing his ship limits (Cap & fleet support) to counter the terrible AI ship management on larger empires. So it has at least a chance to defend itself and maybe challenge human players.
The system works well as on small maps the AI will never reach B, but will put up a decent fight with the bust from A. While on larger maps it expands faster early on and later has the ships to defend and continue expanding while the player still has a chance to win.
As a little addition I'm testing to give the AI cap ships with no fleet support requirement (while reducing the fleet support capacity). This counters to some degree the tendency of the AI to spend all money on small ships.
It works quite well up to hard AI. I currently try to balance it with the higher AI levels, which is difficult as they work completely different.
I use the SOA mod for testing, as it is more fun to me than pure Sins. Maybe someone from the SOA team would like to take a look and tell me if it is worth to continue the effort? If yes, send me a PM with a mail address.
I just recognized (playing the Romies ) that the Ion Torpedo does not stack. I looked at the files and it seams there is accidentally a stacking limit 1 on the charging Buffs.
The charging buff is on the caster, not the target.
I don't think so, the ability entity already has "enemy" as target.
Or did you do any trick to move it back to the caster?
Edit: Just looked at is again and I can't see any trick. Also the activated and charging Buff have endingconditions "TargetIsFriendly", which to my understanding wouldn't make the Buff work on own ships.
This is actually a badly done ability that I need to rewrite one of these days, but it's function is quite proper.
buffInstantActionType "ApplyTargettedBuffToSelf"instantActionTriggerType "AlwaysPerform"buffType "BuffIonTorpedoCharging"
This instant action type provides a target filter in the ability file, for purposes of having a targeted(I'm amazed I can still spell this right) ability. No filter in the ability, no target selection. The buff, as implied by the wording, applies to self, not the target.
BuffIonTorpedoCharging is simply a delay mechanism for effects and function.
buffInstantActionType "ApplyTargettedBuffToSelfNoFilterNoRange" instantActionTriggerType "OnDelay" delayTime 5.000000 buffType "BuffIonTorpedoActivated"
5 seconds of channeled, interruptable inactivity before BuffIonTorpedoActivated is triggered, once again, on self. This works off the original filter applied by AbilityIonTorpedo.
BuffIonTorpedoActivated is where the action begins.
buffInstantActionType "ApplyBuffToTargetWithTravelNoFilterNoRange" instantActionTriggerType "AlwaysPerform" buffType "BuffIonTorpedoDamage"
BuffIonTorpedoDamage is the only file that is ever applied to the target. It has no stacking limit.
finishCondition finishConditionType "TargetOwnerIsFriendly"
This is completely useless since it's on what amounts to an instant action. It's residence in the charging buff however is proper design. What it does is end the buff if your target changes to your side. For instance, you're the Borg and you convert the target while a charging ability is still charging.
It's terribly inefficient, but it does function properly. There were a few oddities in behavior that someone hadn't worked out, so there are several of these strangely done abilities in here. Eventually I'll get around to optimizing them, but it's almost entirely irrelevant beyond minimizing the confusion of those that go poking through the files. All of them put together don't add as much cpu load to the game as a single trade ship.
ah ok, I missed the apply to self. I assume the the damage is reduced by armor, cause I had several ships attacking on enemy capital and incidental it lost 3000, which lead to my assumption that something is not right. Sorry for the confusion.
Yeah, armor is 5% per point, so for every 20, it doubles over the base.
Yea, due to lack of free time, and manpower we pretty much had a "MAKE IT WORK. We will deal with its problems later" attitude. Much of the abilities was just for cosmetic purposes, but some like the ion torpedo (which is supposed to look, and work like the torpedo fired by Chang's Emperor class in the Klingon Academy opening cutscene).
As I play mostly "role playing" I love the cosmetic stuff

Posts Tagged '70′s'
Why I should have seen it already:
Harold and Maude is a cult classic comedy and one of the most culturally significant movies of the 70′s.
Now that I have:
Harold (Bud Cort) is a creeper. He's favorite hobbies are letting his mouth hang open and faking suicides. Why he likes to fake his own death is never fully understood. He gives the excuse at one point that he would prefer to be dead. BUT since he exclusively does these morbid performances in front of his mother, they seem more like a big whiny-baby cry for attention.
Which brings us to the secret star of this movie: Harold's mom (Vivian Pickles). Scenes where Harold is mimicking doing horrible things to himself while she simply refuses to let his disturbances alter her easy life in any way are hilarious. One of my favorites is an extended scene where she gets ready to take a swim. After lots of relaxing and preparing by the poolside, she eventually starts doing laps and the camera pans out to show Harold's face down body floating lifelessly. The only reaction she gives is an eye roll as she passes him during a lap. These moments of comedy between Harold and his mom are thankfully frequent in this film since they were my favorite part.
On the other side of the film is Harold's relationship with the 79 year old Maude (Ruth Gordon). Maude's zest for life, art, and people manifest through the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. Harold thinks she is pretty cool.
Harold's mom gets busy trying to find him a wife through "Computer dates" which I assume is what they called Match.com back then. If Harold can't get a wife he's got to go to Vietnam with his crazy uncle. This is why all men get married, you see. Our fear of commitment is overpowered by our fear of crazy uncles in Vietnam. Unfortunately for his mom, Harold puts his creepiness to use and scares all prospective mates away.
Well, not all of them. One girl actually manages to out-weird Harold by being really into his fake suicide and doing one herself. She's never seen moving again though, so maybe she really did kill herself…
Anyway! By the end of the film and hearing Cat Williams' "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out" two times, Harold is completely enamored by Maude and plans on marrying her. Finally, Maude shows Harold the wonder of life and how precious each day is by (Spoiler) KILLING HERSELF.
The movie ends with Harold taking the insane teachings of Maude to heart and driving his car off a cliff. I know you see him on the cliff after wards playing his banjo, but he's also wearing a totally different shirt and where did that banjo come from?
That's right, he's a ghost.
Which I suppose is a happy ending for him, but he's probably bummed his mom wasn't there to see it.
The Verdict:
Really funny, but lacks any message it doesn't itself contradict later in the film.
I'll give Maude a pass for her crazy behavior because the film suggests she's a holocaust survivor so she's BEEN THROUGH SOME STUFF. Even though she kills herself in the end, she does seem to firmly believe life is great and worth living. She is just REALLY set on the idea of dying at the age of 80. You know how stubborn old people are!
Harold doesn't get a pass. The dude clearly only does the suicide song-and-dance for his mother's benefit. His whole demeanor seems to change the second we see him outside his family's house, before he even meets Maude, which suggests the version of him we see at home is not the real him. Really, he's just a confused 19 year old who's only source of entertainment is bothering his mom. I would feel bad for him if I didn't constantly want to punch him in the face.

Or better, just use LD_PRELOAD to run the scanner when wanted, all in user space.

How's that work out for statically linked apps?
Posted Dec 10, 2007 12:46 UTC (Mon) by i3839 (guest, #31386) [Link]
What statically linked apps? And more precisely, which ones do add new files to your system that you want to check? Remember that you trust the current apps, just not new files that are added by them. It won't work for those of course, but the current approach doesn't always work either. As a last resort you can always use inotify or whatever to scan the files generated by static apps, and that doesn't have to be horribly slow either if you have a clue where the files are added. But static apps are rare, so I don't see the problem.
Posted Dec 10, 2007 15:50 UTC (Mon) by jzbiciak (✭ supporter ✭, #5246) [Link]
How about the statically linked emergency boot shell? Now every shell script is a "statically linked app." Also, someone could purposefully statically link an otherwise innocuous bit of code and use it as a conduit. That is, the "installation" procedure for some bit of malware might include an additional level of indirection. LD_PRELOAD could work for many things, but it strikes me as leaving too many holes, more than the "scan on open" approach does. (Now, if "scan on open" also made a temporary read-only copy for all readers/executers, a'la RCU, you might have something!)
Posted Dec 10, 2007 17:52 UTC (Mon) by i3839 (guest, #31386) [Link]
Why would a malicious app bother opening other malicious apps if it can do whatever it wants all ready? You're missing the point. The only purpose of the file scanning talked about here is to detect malicious software when it's installed/downloaded/saved on disk. When you have malicious software doing whatever it wants you've already lost. "Scan on open" isn't good enough to prevent malicious apps from writing other malicious files anyway. For more details read the lkml thread. Shell scripts aren't statically linked apps at all, it's just the shell running, in general a dynamically linked bash, so LD_PRELOAD will work for them fine. We're talking about damn virus scanners here, not a security framework (The former is mostly about detection, the latter mostly about damage mitigation). If you want your own brew of security then write an LSM module, or SELinux ruleset, but if you want to do something as simple as file scanning then just do it with a preloaded lib.

Western Springs legislator lashes out at action in lame-duck session
Jim Durkin
Updated: February 11, 2013 6:13AM
At least one suburban legislator is rankled by last-ditch efforts to pass laws on controversial issues during the lame duck session in Springfield.
State Rep. Jim Durkin, R-82nd, Western Springs, said moves to rush through laws banning assault weapons and allowing same-sex marriage are unfair to voters.
"I've had it with the 11th hour passage of bills which do not get the thorough vetting before the public and members of the legislature," Durkin said.
"There are bills which get pushed through when the threshold drops to 60 votes and a number of legislators are on their way out who otherwise would vote against these measures, but they're looking to make friends."
Durkin referred to the lame-duck session two years go when lawmakers abolished the death penalty in Illinois, legalized civil unions and hiked the state income tax.
"I have been in the minority party for a great amount of time, and it's sickening to watch this process play out," he said. "It should disgust the voters in Illinois."
The assault weapons ban and same-sex marriage deserve thoughtful debate and analysis with opportunity for public input, he said.
Information late Thursday indicated sponsors didn't have enough votes to bring bills on either controversial issue to the Senate floor for a vote, Durkin said. The House of Representatives returns Sunday, and all matters must be wrapped up before new lawmakers are sworn in Jan. 9.
Durkin voted against the civil union measure two years ago and said he would need time to analyze how the same-sex marriage law would affect couples differently.
Gun control laws shouldn't be passed piecemeal, but should be considered as a whole in light of the recent federal ruling Dec. 11 striking down Illinois' ban on carrying concealed weapons, he said.
Durkin said he is studying details of bills banning assault weapons, but didn't spell out a position, other than advocating for a comprehensive approach to gun control.
But the ramrod approach to controversial legislation has spurred Durkin to research and introduce a measure of his own in the near future.
Durkin said he intends to sponsor a bill insuring that a super majority vote, rather than a simple majority of 60, is required to pass bills in the House after May 31, to prevent lame-duck session abuses.
"This is just wrong. The fact that it's being done in the dark of night at a speed, which is nearly impossible for a thoughtful debate and input from the public," he said.
Lawmakers instead should be spending time and effort on solving the unfunded pension liability and the state's backlog of unpaid bills, he said.~.

Guns can only be shipped to a location within the USA that holds an FFL (Federal Firearms License) - this can be your local gun shop, pawn shop, sporting goods store, etc. Your local gun dealer will then handle the transfer of the firearm to you.
Please ensure that you have familiarized yourself with the process before placing a gun order:
The first of the many recent additions to the Heckler & Koch handgun line, the P2000 and incorporate features of the successful HK USP Compact pistol with the latest innovations of HK engineers. A refinement of a design created for several European police agencies, the P2000 is available with a traditional double-action/single-action trigger mode and the LEM/CDA (Law Enforcement Modification, also known as Combat Defense Action) trigger system first introduced in 2001 on the USP Compact "LEM" model. The HK Law Enforcement Modification trigger system combines the advantages of a cocked striker component (constant level of trigger pull from first to last round fired) with a double-action hammer system. Developed especially for a U.S. government agency, the Law Enforcement Modification (or LEM for short), is a unique trigger mechanism created specifically to improve the trigger performance and reduce the weight of the Double-Action Only (DAO) trigger pull on HK pistols. With this mechanism, HK pistols can be fired like a standard DAO semi-automatic pistol where every round is fired by simply pulling the trigger fully rearward with the hammer starting at the forward rest position. The design of the proprietary HK LEM system allows the weight of the DAO trigger pull to be reduced to a smooth and constant 6.18 - 8.5 pounds. Because the two-part hammer is pre-cocked every time the slide moves rearward. Trigger pull on conventional double action pistols is 12 - 15 pounds. P2000 V2 Like P2000 V1, however LEM/CDA trigger pull 7.3 pounds.

Everyone knows that once something is rare, it becomes valuable and people covet it. Simple artifacts such as arrowheads, for example, are not too impressive, but due to their rarity, many people want them.
The same goes with Shinies, even the ugly/unimpressive ones such as Garchomp. People love them just 'cause they're different and incredibly rare.

text: Corinto was established in 2006, when winemaker, Felipe Vial, sensed the need for good quality consumer-friendly wines with a sophisticated image at an affordable price. He has succeeded better than most. Corinto Winery's concern for global warming led to their participation in the National Energy Efficiency Program's Technology Node project for quantifying their carbon footprint. All procedures at the winery are carried out with an eye toward their goal of becoming completely self sustainable. Even the liquid industrial waste treatment plant has a wastewater treatment system to ensure they do not pollute the canals around the winery and everything is recycled. European Vitis vinifera vines were brought to Chile by Spanish conquistadors and missionaries in the 16th century around 1554. Local legend states that the conquistador Francisco de Aguirre himself planted the first vines. The vines most likely came from established Spanish vineyards planted in Peru which included the "common black grape", or Mission, as it was known, that Hern?n Cort?s brought to Mexico in 1520. This grape variety would become the ancestor of the widely planted Pais grape that would be the most widely planted Chilean grape till the 21st century. Jesuit priests cultivated these early vineyards, using the wine for the celebration of the Eucharist. By the late 16th century, French and Italian settlers brought their own, indigenous grapes and thus Merlot was reborn in Chile. Merlot has become one of the new darlings in Chile as it has in the rest of the world. The Maule Valley's maritime climate and lush soils insure perfect ripening for this grape and the resultant soft and luxurious wine. These wines are made for drinking now. Their lush flavors are too good to wait for. This soft and supple version can match most red meats and even roast chicken and hearty fish dishes. Serve slightly chilled.

MAKE GOOD ART – The Philadelphia Weekly Interviews Neil Gaiman About New "Speech Book"
May 20th, 2013
This week Neil Gaiman's MAKE GOOD ART Book came out (which was designed by Chip Kidd) and one cool thing to happen is that the Philadelphia Weekly not only did a great interview all about the creation of this book, but they put Neil's face on the cover! Oddly, this is only the second time that has happened (the first was on WIRED Magazine).
Neil Gaiman was interviewed by Kyle Cassidy. The article covers many topics all related to the new MAKE GOOD ART book like how did the, now famous, graduation Speech even come about and what prompted the creation of this book. It's a great interview with this fun Author. Here's a LINK to check it out, just CLICK HERE!

Author James Ellroy joins Walter Kirn on BylinerTV for a conversation where nothing is restrained and the boundaries of polite conversation are obliterated.
Ellroy testifies to the vile and glorious corners of L.A., and shares his visions of history without refracting the present day. With all the confidence of a shotgun blast, he tears through the politically correct limits on discussion and breathes fire with each admission and opinion.

•June 5th – "Make Good Art" Conversation and Book Signing in Boston with Neil Gaiman & Chip Kidd
May 14th, 2013
To celebrate the launch of Neil Gaiman's "MAKE GOOD ART" Speech Book Neil Gaiman and Chip Kidd will both appear at the OBERON in Cambridge (Boston) on Wednesday, June 5th, 2013 at 6:30pm.
Literary legend Neil Gaiman (American Gods, The Sandman, Stardust & soon to be, Ocean at the End of the Lane: a Novel), in his wonderful 2012 commencement address at the University of the Arts in Pennsylvania, encouraged graduates to do one thing, even in the worst of times: Make Good Art. Gaiman– who has written novels, short fiction, comic books, screenplays, children's books, and graphic novels– and Chip Kidd, who designed the innovative cover and interior for the published book based on the speech, convene at the Oberon to discuss Gaiman's unconventional career path, prodigious output, and the bravery and creativity that goes into making good art. This special, intimate evening presents a rare encounter with one of contemporary literature's most creative minds alongside the top graphic designer in publishing. They will discuss their own artistic processes and pass along advice for how to Make Good Art. Tickets are $25, which includes a copy of MAKE GOOD ART with a book signing to follow the conversation.

•BOOK COVER POWER – Can Visual Design Save Print?
May 14th, 2013
Chip Kidd, Associate Art Director at Knopf Books, Peter Mendelsund, Art Director for Pantheon Press, and Stephen Doyle, Creative Director, Doyle Partners; Design Contributor, New York Times and Wired, discuss whether cutting edge visual design can save the print industry. The talk is moderated by Darhil Crooks, Creative Director for the Atlantic, and way down below is the video-taped footage of the event.
Date: Tuesday, May 7th, 2013
Location: New York Historical Society, NYC
The first Speaker is Chip Kidd and he starts out talking a little bit about working with Neil Gaiman on Neil's new book, MAKE GOOD ART : Neil Gaiman's Speech Book. Which, by the way, is coming out on Wednesday, May 15th. Yes, that's tomorrow! Very quickly, Chip Kidd gives a preview of what the book will look like, discusses some of the design ideas and concepts, and then (in a very sneaky way) he shamelessly plugs his own book that is coming out in October of 2013. We're talking about his "Teaching Graphic Art to Kids" Book which is titled, "GO! A KIDD'S GUIDE TO GRAPHIC DESIGN".
Then, next-up is Peter Mendelsund who quickly shares an amazing assortment of some of his work. Like Chip, he mainly designs book covers. But his graphic art has an interesting twist. He designs jackets for new books that are expected to be bestsellers AND he creates new covers for old classics, what they call the "back list", and it's all really great stuff like: Franz Kafka, Dante, Plato, Simone De Beauyoir, James Joyce, etc…
Peter also makes a shameless plug for his brand-new Design Book coming out in the Spring of 2014 titled, "COVER" by Peter Mendelsund. It looks pretty cool!
Then, the last guest (last, but NOT least) is Stephen Doyle who shares an amazing art-concept movie he created called CIPHER. This was a project he worked on with some Students and the end result is pretty interesting. He also discusses recent trends in publishing & print media.

•Random House Launches BookScout , New Book Discovery and Social Reading App for Facebook
May 13th, 2013
BOOKSCOUT provides readers with personalized book recommendations based on people's Facebook timelines. The app also recommends popular titles - published by both Random House, Inc. and non Random House, Inc. imprints — readers are Liking, sharing, and adding to their bookshelves within the app. It also presents bestsellers from all publishers broken out by category, based on industry sales data.
Information about people's interests from their Facebook timelines is incorporated into the personal recommendations, and Liking books via the app helps create more tailored suggestions - the more books and interests users Like, the better the recommendations will be. Recommendations feature titles from all publishers, and include links to major retailers so people can easily purchase print books and eBooks they're interested in.
Readers can create and organize their own digital bookshelves, sharing what they're currently reading with their Facebook friends, tagging books they'd like to read, and keeping track of books they've read. People can also see what their friends are reading, encouraging organic word-of-mouth recommendations.
"Word of mouth is the number one way readers learn and get enthusiastic about books they want to read," says Amanda Close, Random House's Senior Vice President, Digital Marketplace Development. "By creating BookScout, Random House is helping to encourage conversations about books on Facebook, and broaden the social discovery of books in the digital space."
BOOKSCOUT is the latest initiative in Random House's in-house-developed efforts to guide readers in book discovery, including web verticals like Word & Film, Everyday eBook, Biographile and Suvudu, each of which feature interviews, news and reviews of books in their respective categories, and partnerships with Politico, Epicurious and Publishers Lunch to integrate books and authors onto their sites.

Back in 2006 Chip Kidd was in Berlin and while there he did an extensive interview with a podcast that is well known for talking about design issues. Of course we're talking about TYPE RADIO. The historic thing about the event was that it was Typeradio's very first interview that was allowed to be conducted in the nude, and Chip Kidd looked very good ( Joking, just kidding! ).
In the three podcast clips down below Chip Kidd talks about his obsessions, superstitions. What makes a good book cover, design versus sales. Differences between American and European book covers, and much much more.
We also want to thank TYPERADIO.ORG for a great set of interviews and we also want to invite people to visit their website. Once you get there you will discover a TON of great material. Thanks, just CLICK HERE!

I thought this would be a good idea for a post, just posting some of the many book review videos that have been done for Chip Kidd's Graphic Novel, BATMAN: DEATH BY DESIGN (DC Comics). The interesting thing about "video reviews" is that, since the format is so visual, the reviewers can also focus quite well on the amazing artwork of Dave Taylor. Besides the compelling storyline, the book's other main interest is that the art is also a very enjoyable part of the book. So, this is really cool. Thanks to everybody who took the time to create these videos.
As a side note:
One of the videos (the 4th one) is an "Audio Only" Interview with Chip Kidd that was done BEFORE the book came out. So, in contrast to the other ones, which were obviously done by readers of the actual book, it's kind of interesting. Hey, here they are… please enjoy.

•FANBOY RADIO Interviews Book Cover Designer CHIP KIDD!
May 10th, 2013
Last year, around February, Chip Kidd was in Texas to speak at a special lecture given at the Dallas Museum of Art. So, to promote the event he got the chance to talk with the crazy guys over at FANBOY RADIO. ( We mean "crazy" in a good way, they're awesome!)
The cool thing is that you can tell that the people doing the interview either, did some amazing research, or they're just honestly huge fans because their questions were really really clever. I mean, they discuss Graphic Design, Book Covers, Comic Books, Batman, and a few of Chip Kidd's Books like – The Cheese Monkeys, The Learners, Batman: Death By Design, and much more.
OK, I know this podcast interview is "a year old", but it's actually still very timely today and it shares some really good insight into design and other issues. So, please enjoy… oh yeah, and please share it with everybody you know
