- Summary
Fourteen years ago, a meteor shower burst from the heavens, raining destruction on the unsuspecting citizens of Smallville, Kansas. The intervening years have left the towns inhabitants with scars and secrets. From the ashes of tragedy, Clark Kent has grown into an awkward teen. While adolescence always brings its challenges, Clark's transition from boyhood to manhood has been particularly difficult. He has struggled to come to grips with his emerging superpowers -- and the effects of various forms of kryptonite -- while battling the strange things that have plagued this idyllic Midwest hamlet since the meteor shower.

6. | Manus | ||
Pronounced manoose; anal cavity of a man, often used when taunting men about their sexual orientacion. You must love tight manus!
1. | manus | ||
1. An insult to use against someone with no actual meaning, it sounds rude but it hasn't got a meaning so dumb maori's on TV in New Zealand can use it without their land being claimed.
-- 2. Manus is a transferable disease that only one person may have at a time. When you have Manus, the effect is completely and utter depression. You can pass on the Manus to another by hand slapping another persons forehead and say Manus. This transfers the disease onto the other and you are FREE of Manus! Rules of Manus 1. You can not return Manus to the person who gave it to you, they get protection 2. If your Manus attempt fails (IE you hit someone in the wrong place, you miss, you dont say manus etc) That person is now protected from Manus - but the person who gave it to you IS NO LONGER PROTECTED! 3. You can cover your forehead as long as you DO NOT touch your forehead at any time. 4. MANUS RESETS AT MIDNIGHT. AT THAT POINT SOMEONE MAY GENERATE MANUS. THIS REQUIRES 2 PEOPLE PUNCHING EACHOTHERS FISTS 4 TIMES SAYING MANUS. 5. 1. Oh bro you're tha manus.
2. *SLAP* MANUS! Shame you have the Manus! |
2. | Manus | ||
The Manus is an extremely infectious disease that is very contagious and can be transmitted instantly from the host body to an unsuspecting victim via a mere slap to the forehead.
Once the Manus is inside you, you feel the word pain you have ever experienced like the Manus is eating you alive. No matter how hard you try to pretend you do not contain the Manus, your face will distort physically different from everyone else's, and the only thing on your mind will be getting rid of the Manus. People around an infected Manus host body will point out that you now have the ultimate shameness because you have the Manus, but remain at a safe distance and most likely cover their foreheads. There are only two other way to gain immunity from the Manus from a particular transmitter, one of which is via blocking your forehead using you outturned palm of your hand, yet you must not let your palm touch your forehead. Instead, you may hold your palm a few millimeters in front of your head to guard yourself. If the transmitting host body tries to attack you with their Manus, and you successfully defend yourself (whereby they strike you, but not on the forehead), then you gain immunity while that host body that tried to attack you contains the Manus. Once that host body passed the Manus on to someone else, you are no longer immune. The Manus resets every night at 12:00pm, and from that time onwards, anyone who was seen the NZ Police advertisement has the power to begin transmittin... |
3. | Manus | ||
An adjective used to describe things like an action performed by someone or a person. Usually means embarrassing.
Used mainly in New Zealand or the Pacific Island culture. This word is heard on a NZ drink and drive tv advertisement campaign. Tane: "Ooooh dat shit is manus ma brutha!"
John: "Oh, ya manus." Pete: "Nah, I ain't manus. You a manus." |
4. | Manus | ||
On a mare, the hair that covers the anal and equinal regions In order to prevent birthing complications when delivering the colts, it was necessary for the veterinarian to remove the part of the manus covering the equina.
5. | manus | ||
A terms used by myself and almost everyone at Glen Eden Intermediate in 1980-1981. Used primarily as a form of mockery at someones embarrassment when told off by a teacher, falling over, getting tripped over e.t.c. Basically any act which invited ridicule from friends and people in the general vicinity. It was not "transmissible" nor could you give it to someone by touching them on the forehead or anywhere else. Someone would "get the manus" through an embarrassing act - at which point everyone else would laugh and point and say "Manus" or perhaps "Manus on your undies".
This word replaced the previous and overused cries of "Shame" or "Shame on your undies" but is of uncertain origin - someone started it and it spread like wildfire. :-) Calling the teacher "Mum" inadvertantly was a definite manus. |
7. | Manus | ||
An anus attached to any manly mans anus that eats real manly meals! Jim: "I wish I had a Manusaurus Rex like Bob over there."
Bob: "Hello there chaps! would you scoot from the loo so I can take a big manly pooh?" Jim: No prob bro. Bob: *tood'OLoOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!* |

Total Garbage. Do not get a CSA from them. They claim they grow their own produce, but alas, all they grow is more and more paranoid and resentful. When asked where the produce came from they claimed it was from their farm. I went on a tour of the farm and there is nothing growing there. At all.

7:30-8:30am Weds. early bird maintenance
12:00-1:00pm Thurs. Lunch and learn and farm tour
4:00-5:00pm Thurs. work and learn
1st and 3rd Saturdays, 9:00-11:00am - Work and Learn with kid friendly activities

We love how Rita has transformed our yard into a year-round-producing garden of organic vegetables, flowers, and fruits. Her knowledge is tremendous and her enthusiasm is contagious, and the veggies taste so much better than those shipped from many miles away. We highly recommend her services!
And also, the corn maze died according to the owner. You can't control nature, so it seems like they used innovation instead of giving up. They cut a maze through hedges. Alot of work goes into the upkeep of the place. The questions also did not seem unfriendly to a child either. It woudl be hard to have a maze that suited everyone if the questions throughout were suited to four year olds.
Actually the farms seem alot of fun to me. It was completely family friendly (except for haunted hay ride). Boone Hall is more well known, but that does not make it better. I saw many kids going through the maze and did fine. People seemed to have a lot of fun
When my 4 year old twins and I arrived to Legare Farms, we saw signs leading us to a 'CORN' maze; however, the maze turned out to be a non-children friendly 'MYRTLE' maze. The path desperately needs to be bush hogged so children can walk through the path without becoming scratched/scraped up by tall grasses and tree limbs. As for the 'fun' questions, the game was too advanced for young kids. The whole experience of Legare Farms was mediocre in my opinion. After going through the Myrtle maze, my family and I did not even want to take the hay ride. I strongly suggest taking the kids to Boone Hall Plantation instead for a fun-filled day with your young ones.
Very good show overall, I thought the Village People gave me more of what I came for, but they were both good. We left early as people started to crowd up into the aisles of the seats, making it just too hot to stick around.
I was there and loved the performace. It was VERY hot though! - JA

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Thanks daddysauce for providing the work flow,which would be quite helpful to more people who are new to 3delight.
I hope soon we will see more people sharing their tutorials and workflows.
As I heard usually ptc files are quite big in size so Is their any Mel script available which would delete the ptc file generated once the whole process is over to optimize space while rendering a sequence.
How can we convert it to brickmap and automate the whole process for an animation sequence.
Thanks again Daddysauce

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Doh, my bad! Already had it going in there (just had too much blur). Would it be possible to set the "distance" to the HDRI? Since the reflections gets blurrier the further away they are it would be cool to be able to say how far away the "environement" is to control how blurred it gets? Makes sense? :-)

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Looks like it does. However I'm having problems getting the environment anything else than really blurred? In this image I have a tdl in the env slot and glossy reflections.
Is there a way to bake out stuff that's not visible through camera into a point cloud? So that I don't get stuff like the checkered ground just being cut off like this?
#132 2011-07-16 21:19:22
Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Might be able to use coordinate spaces to change the way the background blurs?
Yes. With the two passes, in the first pass you bake out using a different camera, a camera that sees everything in the scene. The attributes just make it so that the backs of objects are baked out as well. It will still only bake out what the camera sees. Thus, in the baking pass you should use a camera that can see everything you want baked.
#133 2012-01-03 07:58:27
Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
The original shaders posted on the first page have been updated. I've fixed some transparency and baking related issues I ran into in production. Also, I've broken the uber shaders into some of the more popular effects to have the option of a smaller, more specialized shader.
They are located and will be updated from here: http://blog.cameronleger.com/code/many- … d-shaders/

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Cool, glad to hear that you're still working on and even better- sharing this stuff! I was just thinking the other day that with the new implementation of ptc rendering I should be able to use your excellent shaders for glossy ptc based reflections and stuff. Even more reason to try that out now!

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Good luck. Let me know how the workflow goes, I've yet to try it.
I'll have yet another fix for atmosphere shaders and transparency later (getting around a bug).
Playing with SSS now, latest shader has presets for the materials described in the BSSRDF paper. Looks great.
#136 2012-01-05 07:36:47
Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Hi Cameron,
thanks for sharing your shaders with us. Really nice!
Since you are testing SSS now - did you try your shaders with miss_fast_skin shaders? I don't know why, but it works with built-in PTC GI in 3delight, but with your shaders, objects with miss_fast_skin on them aren't included in GI and IBL computations. (They are baked into PTC though).
Also - would you share how to use PTC SSS? Do we need to assign subsurface geo to objects? What maya/mr shaders are supported? And how do you control parameters and looks of for example doing skin with PTC based SSS?
#137 2012-01-05 12:32:07
Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
I have not tried with miss_fast_skin. I'll make a note to try it with that. You're saying the SSS color from miss_fast_skin is baked, but not bounced onto other things? Also, is this with the atmosphere or light shader?
PTC SSS is really simple. The extra attributes that have to be used to compute SSS are not needed, these are specified in the shader. You can use it like any other effect in my shaders. I only ever use standard Maya shaders in my renders, except I have used mia_material_x without problems.
The values are a little different for SSS though. There are a few main "look" tweaks. IOR should almost always be 1.3, except when simulating marble it should be 1.5. The presets use numbers from the paper describing BSSRDF. You should be able to pick one of them and then only have to tweak scale, depending on your scene size. If you pick custom, you can use your own values. The default values in the custom section are those of the skin1 preset. If you want to see the values for the other presets you can look in the shader code for them.
#138 2012-01-06 01:58:43
Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Well, SSS color from miss_fast_skin is baked, but doesn't RECEIVE any IBL or bounces from other objects. I'm not sure if it's bounced onto other things.
Surely even AO is not computed for miss_fast_skin.
I'm using atmosphere shader for baking and light shader for color bleed. I tried Uber shader and now also your new separate shaders.
The PTC SSS works like a charm, but how do you specify which objects are gonna be affected by it? Since it is light shader it's computed for all objects in the scene...

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Hi Cameron,
finally I had some time to experiment with your shader, and I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to use (for the very basic functionalities, at least; I just tested AO and color bleeding with the volume shader, by now).
I'll add my voice to the choir, then, in thanking you for the nice work and, above all, for sharing it.
Though, after taking a glance at your code, there are a few things I can't really get, both regarding the code itself and something you wrote on this forum thread and your website.
The first thing is at line 661 of the volume shader (in the most recent version on your website), within the GI_AO condition:
aov_AO = Oi*1-occlusion( //because we set aov_AO to 1 earlier, we subtract the occlusion from 1
I'd guess it should be, instead
aov_AO = Oi * (1-occlusion(
In fact, that should be the same operation you do within the basic AO condition; am I wrong?
Also, what do you mean exactly by "because we set aov_AO to 1 earlier, we subtract the occlusion from 1"?
As far as I interpreted it, line 661 means:
aov_AO = the inverse of occlusion amount, premultiplied by the shaded point's opacity.
where, I thought, the "inverse of occlusion" is just a convenient way to store the occlusion pass, for compositing purposes, without inverting it later on. Is there something I got wrong?
Another thing I can't understand is at line 691, whithin GI (and GI_AO) composite's condition:
Ci += aov_GI * aov_AO; // Since we're doing AO and GI at the same time, multiply them onto each other, because we set aov_AO to 1 earlier, if there's no occlusion, it's multiplied by 1
I'm not exaclty sure that this is the way it should be. I might be wrong, as I don't have a deep knowledge of compositing but, as far as I know, AO shouldn't be multiplied just by the GI.
I would have expected something like:
Ci = (Ci + aov_GI) * aov_AO;
But that is just if I got what GI_AO is intended for, otherwise I'm totally missing the point (which is equally probable).
I Thought it was some sort of AO's alternative, as it performs the same operation. But I can't get what the purpose of such an alternative is. Can you please explain that? (If the reason regards rendertimes, just ignore this last question and see the next point).
Regarding rendertimes, on the very first post of this thread you said
cleger wrote:
[...] AO added 60 seconds. GI added 72 seconds. Rendering those separately would give you two sets of normal images and GI and AO, at 372 seconds. [...] Also, if you're using GI and plan to use AO as well, it's best to turn on the AO for GI. They'll both be calulated at the same time and it will save a lot of rendertime
But as I said above, I can't really see the reason why you should go for GI_AO instead of AO. When saying "rendering those separately" did you mean in two separate render passes, or using AO instead of GI_AO (together with GI) within the same pass?
In the former case I'd expect a "loss" in rendertimes, but I supposed this was caused by computing twice the lighting loops and, maybe, in loading twice the same PTC. Again, I might be wrong as I do not have a deep knowledge about how the renderer works (and I'd ask anybody to enlighten me about this, if possible).
In the latter case, instead, I must say I didn't experience the same thing. I've tried both the AO and GI_AO options and got exactly the same rendertimes (as I expected it to be, given the fact that the same code is executed, even though at different lines within the shader). I didn't get the same results in the composited render, though, mainly for the reasons I mentioned above.
To conclude, if I misunderstood the way GI_AO is intended to be used, I would ask you to shed some light on that.
Otherwise, I would ask if it weren't someway simpler to get rid of the GI_AO and just use the normal AO option, provided GI's operations (or even just the compositing snippet) appear before the ones for AO, so that
Ci *= aov_AO;
is always computed after
Ci += aov_GI;
Please excuse me for being so long (I just wanted to be sure that my doubts were clear enough), for my bad English, and if my questions will turn out to be just noobly dumb.
Thanks again,
if you're the least noob in the room, you're in the wrong room

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Hi Map of Emergence,
You raise some valid questions, so here's my responses (numbered in order of the questions)
The whole GI_AO section might be unnecessary (in its current implementation) in the first place. You're right, there should be a parenthesis there to separate the math operations. The way I understood it at the time of the writing was that computing AO and GI at the same time were faster than computing them at two separate times. After reading more lately, I think that I have to include more parameters in the indirectdiffuse() call to calculate AO with that, rather than how I'm doing it now. You can ignore the GI_AO section for now, in that case.
When I said "//because we set aov_AO to 1 earlier, we subtract the occlusion from 1" I think I meant something different. Yes, it is for compositing easier to invert it now, but I set aov_AO to 1 so that when it was multiplied by something like GI, if we didn't compute aov_AO then GI would still be normal.
Again, math and parenthesis. Your way is correct (I normally set it to not composite and do everything in post).
Again, the whole GI_AO section might have been implemented wrong at the time. And I did mean separately.
As I've said, the whole GI_AO section might have been implemented wrong at the time. I see this for indirectdiffuse() in the newest manual:
"Computing the occlusion while calling this function is also possible (through the occlusion parameter), with the following restriction: indirectdiffuse() only sees geometry tagged as visible to reflections, as opposed to occlusion() which sees geometry visible to shadows. For more informations about visibility attributes refer to Attributes."
By looking at an example 3Delight GI shader, I see an argument getting passed to the "occlusion" parameter that later gets used like AO. However, under the parameters documentation, it says:
"If specified, it is set to the fraction of the sampled cone which was occluded by geometry."
So, I can test that out and see if that was indeed the idea that I was after (and if rendertimes are faster using that or AO and GI separate).

I guess it is, and it sounds nice, indeed.
I'll look into it, too, right after testing all the other features you already provided. I hope I'll come out with something useful to share as well, in the next future.

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
No problem. Although I'm not constantly working on this, I'm on these forums pretty regularly.
I don't doubt that you will. The initial version of this shader was put together whenever I was in my first month of using 3Delight.

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
First, thanks for this great shader :)
Is there any way to combine photonmapping with this shader (like how the built in GI solution works for multiple bounces)?

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
I have pragma annotations for just about everything. So, everything is grouped into categories. In each category of functionality, you have the values at your control for the effect. The values are given "nice" names and have tooltip descriptions of what the value does, and in some cases, the best and/or default value.
The shader includes AOVs for each pass. Each pass will render out the normal image with the effect you've chosen on top of it. You can also use AOVs to render out the image before the effects and the bare effect for compositing. The specific AOVs are documented inside of the shader, but I'll also list them here.

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
Cleger, I'm using your shaders and enjoying them a lot.
However, I have objects with transparency mapping on them, and when I watch them in the ptcviewer the points seem to be not black, but dark gray.
This doesn't seem to be a problem for ao, but I'm seeing my object where it should be transparent using GI.
Am I doing something wrong? Your shaders seem to work for every other task and are even hard to get by without.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Point Cloud Uber Shader
@Delighter: Have you tried using the Global Illumination settings in the Render Pass? You can use that with the PTC method to bake out a PTC which you can then turn off and use that PTC with my shader.
That would help figure out where the problem lies.

Hey All,
Its been so long and I have been away, neglecting my blog and almost everything else. But anyways getting back on, you can truly stay away now can you once you start a blog ! Sooo excited to be back and catch up on all the blog updates I have been missing.
What I am loving nowadays is bright color in everything …shoes, blouses and jewelery!
So here is a pic of a personal fav
And here is what I have not been doing so well, good balanced diet and Hair care ! I have already mentioned how paranoid I am about my hair. It was just getting back to looking good when my neglect has left it dry ..I mean seriously dry !
TLC, I am loving right now:
- 1 eggs
- 3 Tbsp coconut milk
- 1 Mashed Banana
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Yogurt
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a fork until combined.
- Apply to slightly oiled hair.
- Allow to set for 30 minutes.
- Shampoo and condition
PS: The banana is difficult to rinse out so be patient, and try to soak it out. It might feel greasy after a first shampoo but dont shampoo again, as it will dry out normally.

I'm not an adventurer:
- The last time I saw a daddy long-legs, I ran out of the room squealing.
- In Spanish class, I hesitate to raise my hand because I'm afraid of making a grammar mistake.
- I get queasy looking down from my school's fourth-floor window.
Yet somehow, this spring break, I ended up going on what could only be called an adventure.
My family's destination was Costa Rica—with me as the designated translator (having studied five years of Spanish). My excitement about the trip soon turned to anxiety over my Spanish skills.
What if I used the wrong verb tense? What if I froze? What if no one understood me? What if? What if?
Speaking Spanish to Ticos
The speed of native speakers never fails to amaze me.
What I hadn't factored in was how accommodating the Ticos were...starting with our driver from the airport.
¡Hola! Me llamo Heiner y ella es mi esposa. ¿Cómo están?
(Hi! My name is Heiner and this is my wife. How are you guys?)
Although I was scared of messing up my grammar, I couldn't bear to be rude and ignore him. Since I was the only person in my family who understood him, I fought my fear and responded in Spanish.
Through talking with him in Spanish I came to the conclusion that you don't have to be an adventurer to have an adventure. From then on, I spoke Spanish to everyone I met with less hesitation.
Once my greatest fear, speaking Spanish, was behind me, I was eager to experience all that Costa Rica has to offer: the landscape, the people, and the actual in-the-wild wildlife...

What a good deal for a 2nd WR.
I don't see how these ridiculous averages can be maintained when the salary cap is proportionally increasing at a relatively slow pace.
Teams are soon gonna have to debate whether they only want a couple of ELITE players and a bunch of average-to-below average players, or just a team with uniformly average players. Joe Flacco's deal is nuts, too; unless the next QBs in line to get huge deals (Rodgers, Stafford, Luck) reverse the trend by taking more modest deals with averages around 15, rather than 20 (which won't happen), then having a franchise QB is gonna be very expensive. Oh, and average QBs, like Alex Smith, will start getting 65-70 million dollar contracts!
I think Cruz is a unique player. I agree he should be able to make "the market value" whatever that is. BUT the money players get across the board is really obscene. We create that environment. We buy season tickets, wearing apparel, books they write, etc.
If Cruz were to be offered that kind of money, why would we expect him to stay here to make less than 3?
I still don't think any team is going to make him an offer that includes a 1st round.
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!
Yeah, but free agency is more about a players value relative to league talent, rather than team talent (which should only play a minor role).
It's when teams lose sight of this that we get guys like Charles Johnson receiving a 72 million dollar contract. Granted, Charlotte is a small market, but how often does Charles Johnson come to mind when discussing top DEs (saved you the trouble, Johnson is a DE )?
Wouldn't Bowe's have set the bar even higher?

L200 Series Conforming Lynco Orthotics
Sensitive feet require more attention than your average pair of feet. If you have sensitive feet, you know how important it is to wear the right shoes, keep your feet protected and try to stay off of them when they are at their most sensitive peak. This is where Lynco Orthotics comes into play. They have a special line of insoles that cater to sensitive feet. The Lynco L200 Conform Orthotics are great for conforming to your foot and supporting in areas of need and backing off in areas that don't need so much support. These particular insoles work well for people who suffer from arthritis or diabetes which cause sensitive feet. So, if you are looking for an orthotic that can improve the feel of your sensitive feet, try any of the L200 Series Lynco Orthotics.

i find this extremely interesting
MMB: Michigan (3) vs NC State (18) Open Thread
How do they determine who get home in this ACC/B1G challenge?
Greetings from Bolivia.
"It's special how the real true people hang together. And if you don't support the program you're not a true Michigan guy. It's that simple." - Gary Moeller
These games are important but not as important as March. Make progress every single day and we will be just fine.
Good to have these last three games.
Have to keep pushing.
Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.
18points, 11assist, 0 turnovers. I like the way that sounds
Note: MMB stands for Michigan Marching Band. The basketball team is usually abbreviated here as MBB.
Anyhow, nice win! Sloppy finish, but whatever.
They got lazy at the end there, pretty sloppy. They need to correct that going forward, the B1G season is brutal.
not just "douchey" MGoBlog user, but now TRUSTED MGoBlog user
we are the SEC of basketball.
GMAT score =800 = Defensive POTY
Great win, especially in come March. This N.C State team will be good. How good depends on them. They could underachieve and become a middling ACC team, make the tourney and fizzle or they could compete with Duke and UNC for the ACC title and become an Elite 8 team. The latter scenario, again, would make this late Novemeber win even better come Tournament selection time.
Great Win. Stauskas is a baller. On another note. I got great seats from a friend. Mike Hart was sitting right in front of me. Also saw Kim English.
We played 30-34 solid minutes vs. a very good opponent. We definitely have to finish better. I also thought the coaching staff struggled with the subs all game.
They went with Akunne WAAAY too early and he completely killed the momentum of Stauskas with two bad shots.
It also took them waay too long to go with two bigs. NCSU was killing us inside and we brought McGary in for Morgan...then Robinson picked up a cheap foul and we brought Morgan right back in for him and that was the lineup that broke the game open.
In the 2nd half we started okay then went back to GRIII against Leslie and he was getting abused. He's also lost confidence on the offensive end. Morgan - McGary - Stauskas/Vogrich - Hardaway - Burke was our best lineup all game.
I think we're starting to see guys really find their role...the one player I'm worried about is Robinson. When you look at his face, he just doesn't seem confident like he did early on...very hesistant with the basketball as well.
With that said, we needed this win...NC St. is going to get a lot better this year and this win is going to look very good come tournament time. Not that it will matter, I truly believe that unless we get a horrible draw *knock on wood* this is a Final Four team. Just too much talent, chemistry and waves of combinations we throw on the floor.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
Going back to the roles:
Morgan --- Steady inside presence...experience...pick and roll, block/charge master...needs to get more consistant catching the ball cleanly down low
Robinson --- The X-Factor (going to have to really be a consistant force)...needs to build confidence and find role on team
Vorgrich --- Gritty (trying his hardest to be Novak/Douglass, which we need)...much better defensively...scrappy...role player and has done a great job in his role all season
Hardaway --- Obvious leader...keep doing what you've been doing! All-around threat.
Burke --- See Hardaway.
Stauskas --- Perfect coming off the bench but getting starters minutes...crazy scorer...needs to get MUCH better defensively before he can be a true starter (NC St. had a NUMBER of clean shots when Stauskas was guarding the man, they just missed them)
McGary --- Energy...Tyler Hansbrough 2.0...Needs to continue to just get better in all phases
Horford --- Raw, getting better...keep doing what you're doing
Albrecht --- Perfect role player and backup PG...perfect for chemistry...needs to see a few more minutes to calm and spare Burke
--------------------------Thats your rotation------------------------
Can't forget McLimans and Bielfeldt who both can give quality post minutes off the bench.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
I think this is pretty spot on minus Robinson who I think has a role already and that's as a quiet 10/8 guy who plays solid D and can guard both 3s and 4s depending on whether the opponent goes big or small. With Trey and Timmay being the undisputed #1/#2 guys, Robinson is the athletic prototype to Canadian Bacon's pure shooter.
Although, I will say that one game Little Dog is going to go for something crazy like 25/10 in a big match-up and will soon be a fixture in the lottery on mock drafts in either 2013 or 2014.
Great game. They didn't execute well once it was time to kill the clock but that isn't surprising since that's more about execution than talent and we're young. That will improve.
On another note Indiana is terrifying. To think they are missing quality players who will be playing soon is scary.
I was at the game tonight. First time ever and it was great. Crisler is beautiful. Go Blue!
I hate ohio. Thats all you need to know.

Ok, so it turns out that my uncle has an old apple II that's been sitting in the back yard with no protection from the environment for about 3 years. what i want to know is:
a: is it possible to rescue, and,
b: what type of damage will it have and what will I need to fix it?
(sorry if this is frowned upon, this was the best place I know of to post this.)

For more than 10 years Mark and Susan Fineman of Cheshire donated regularly to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
But after weeks of daily phone calls from Telefund, a fund-raiser for the ASPCA, the couple is debating whether they will continue to make donations to the charity formed in 1866 to protect animals from abuse.
Mark Fineman says he would not mind if charities called him directly for donations, but he is particularly upset when they hire major fund-raisers like Telefund, which then repeatedly calls his home without identifying itself and without leaving a message. The couple are on the Do Not Call list, but charities and politicians are of course exempt.
After receiving scores of unwanted phone calls on behalf of politicians prior to the election, Mark Fineman thought he would get a break.

Introduction to Gawk
How often have you thought to yourself, "I should write a program to do that!" only to realize that you will have to write more than just the code needed to solve the problem at hand? Your program will probably need to get the names of data files from the command line, open and read these files, and allocate and manage memory for data storage. This programming overhead can be a lot of effort to write and debug. To make this programming task even less appealing, what if you need this program "right now" and it may be used only once or twice? Does writing this program still seem worth all the effort? If you are using one of the more traditional languages, such as C or C++, perhaps not. However, the awk programming language may be just the right tool for writing the programs you need while minimizing the programming overhead.
gawk, the GNU version of the powerful awk programming language, lets you concentrate on writing the code to solve the problem at hand without worrying about all the overhead required to actually make your program do its job. gawk offers many features designed to help you quickly write useful and powerful programs. With features such as pattern-matching, associative arrays, automatic handling of command-line argument files, and no need for variable declarations, gawk is able to free you from many of the tiresome details that often get in the way of getting the job done.
gawk is suitable for a wide range of applications, from simple, one-line applications to complex applications that will be used on a regular basis. gawk is also a simpler, easier to use alternative to Perl. Although Perl programs will run faster than comparable gawk programs, the syntax and features of gawk are (in my opinion) easier to read and tend not to become quite so obfuscated.
C programmers will find that parts of gawk are already quite familiar to them. In many ways, the syntax of gawk looks very much like the syntax of C, with constructs such as pre- and post-increment and decrement operators, nestable if-else blocks, for loops which look exactly like those in C—even the familiar { and } defining sections of code. This close similarity to C is not such a surprise when you consider that one of the originators of the awk programming language, Brian Kernighan, was also one of the originators of C.
However, beyond this similarity in syntax, awk is a language quite unlike the traditional languages in most common use today.
In this article I will describe the more basic features of working with gawk, the GNU version of awk. There will be many parts of this language that I cannot cover here—for these you will need to consult one of the sources listed in the reference section at the end. Although I will be describing gawk, the features discussed here should be applicable to most versions of the awk programming language. As such, the names gawk and awk are often used interchangeably.
In keeping with the tradition set by countless authors writing about a programming language, here is the ever-popular "Hello World" program written in awk:
BEGIN { print "Hello World" }
Before I explain how to run this program, I will describe how a gawk program, or script, works.
A major difference between gawk and most other languages is that gawk is a pattern-matching language. That is, gawk scans its input looking for patterns which have been specified in the gawk program, and executes the block of gawk code associated with that pattern. A gawk program, or script, consists of one or more patterns which the programmer wishes to match against each line of input, and the corresponding action blocks (enclosed between { and }) which are to be executed when that pattern is found in an input line. So a gawk program has the form:
pattern1 { action1 } pattern2 { action2 } . . . patternN { actionN }
These patterns, which can consist of a simple expression, a regular expression, a combination of patterns, or even an empty pattern, can be as simple or as complex as needed. To print all lines in a file which contain the word "Linux", the pattern is simply defined as /Linux/ and the action block is {print}. Thus, the complete gawk program can be written as:
/Linux/ { print }
Action blocks consist of one or more gawk statements enclosed between { and }. In this simple example, the print statement will print everything on each line which contains the pattern "Linux". However, this program will also match such words as "LinuxKernel"--the pattern does not have to be a discrete word. Also, since pattern matching is case-sensitive by default, it will not match the pattern "linux".
If you need to match both upper and lower case, the pattern can be changed to allow for this—it just becomes a more complex pattern. If you wanted the pattern to match both "linux" and "Linux", you could write the pattern as /[Ll]inux/. In this case, you are telling gawk to look for groups of characters that begin with any of the characters enclosed in the square brackets (here, either an upper or lower case "L") followed by the lowercase letters "inux". Other options for dealing with case sensitivity are to use the built-in functions tolower() or toupper() to change the case of the input line (or just parts of the line) before the pattern matching takes place, or you can set the built in variable IGNORECASE (in awk, built in variables are always written in upper case) to any non-zero value at the start of your program.
Patterns in gawk can be as simple or as complex as needed to match the desired item in the input line. If you do not specify a pattern, the action block will be executed for every line of input. This is known as an empty pattern. So if you do not explicitly put a pattern into your program, gawk treats the lack of a pattern as a pattern that will match everything in the input.
Alternatively, if you specify a pattern but no action, gawk will provide a default action—namely {print}--for you. So the simple program above can be rewritten as /Linux/, although it is usually better to define an action explicitly, since this results in more readable code.
gawk also defines several special patterns which do not match any input at all, the most commonly used being BEGIN and END. The action block associated with BEGIN will be executed only once, before gawk starts to read the input files, and allow you to take care of any setup and initialization details that may be needed. The action block for the END pattern will be executed after the processing of all input has been completed and is useful for printing any final results from your program. The BEGIN and END patterns are optional—you include them only when there is a need for them.
However, if you wish to write a gawk script that takes no input at all—say for example, the ever-popular "Hello World" program that was shown earlier—your gawk statements must be enclosed in the action block for the BEGIN pattern. Otherwise, gawk will see them as part of the main input loop block (described next) and wait for some input (or a Control-D) before printing—probably not what you want to happen in this case.
How Slow??
You say gawk is slower than Perl. Do you know how much slower? Are there any benchmarks? I've heared that there is an AWK compiler. Do you know anything about it?

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Just think of it. The Occupy Movement has given the world a great amazing and unique gift. Just yesterday, I had a conversation with a fellow occupier about how just one picture of tents in Zuccotti Park or on the lawn of L.A. City Hall was a beautiful thing showing the world that people can assemble to address their grievances as guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. As we all know, there were probably millions of pictures, videos, and various visuals from the first phase of Occupy between September and December.
Any movement like this, just like a human being, has to grow from infancy into maturity. Even the United States is the new kid on the block in the world of history and yet many have said worldwide that it became the most interesting experiment in governance in the history of the world.
Occupy has shown us how to revisit that infancy in many ways, and how we all must mature, a subject that I hope to revisit as time goes on. For now, what kind of gift is the Occupy Movement?
As human beings tend to be, there are going to be growing pains. Some people will go through those growing pains different than others which will cause some friction once in a while. Here is where we see a lot of the gift. We are giving it to each other when we disagree with each other as much if not more than when we agree with each other. We learn through solidarity of cause in that we really have a lot more in common than we are different from one another. What a beautiful gift. I am working with loving people from all walks and experiences in life and in every part of my life. I feel very enriched and very blessed.
Occupy has gotten a lot of people's attention. Some of that attention is focused on negativity when there are some clashes in egos, personalities, belief systems and priorities even in actions pertaining to the movement. It's like the Charles Dicken's classic tale and sometimes we have to deal with the 'bah humbugs' from the Scrooges of the world. This is when we realize that some of those differences can seem greater than we thought. We learn to process those feelings somehow and we move on and stay focused on the bigger purpose. Again, some process those feelings faster than others. Part of that solidarity is embracing patience, but sometimes we all must set the ego aside for the benefit of the movement, the greater Good.
As Dr. Cornell West said recently while speaking at All Saints in Pasadena: It is important "to be committed to something bigger than our egos, our groups, and our national communities." When we do our work with the right spirit of love and compassion even as we work through our understanding of the point of process, a term that occupiers have become very familiar with, the gift is that we can make a difference in a child's life, for instance, and we can do what we can to keep that child and their parents from being removed from their home through an unfair foreclosure.
This is just the beginning. Going back to my conversation with my fellow Occupy brother. Our greatest gift this year is what the movement does bring, can bring and will continue to bring to the world that we live in.... that is the gift of the Holiday that cannot be replaced by material things. That is the gift that we give to each other, to others in the community, and literally all around the world.
What kinds of gifts do we give to each other? We can give of ourselves to each other.... just to start.
Love and Peace NOW,
Occupy Outreach

1. | Forever 27 | ||
an unexplainable coincidence that Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Kurt Cobain all died at the age of 27. forever 27 meaning they will all stay 27 forever, preserved like a fossil, frozen in time, never to be forgotten. they were all pioneers in the rock world, Janis Joplin with her distinctive style and crushing vocals, Jim Morrison with his poetic lyrics, Jimi Hendrix the most amazing guitarist ever, Kurt Cobain pioneered the way of alternative rock in the early 90s. They will all have a place in our hearts. Never Forget, Forever 27 Forever 27 was a tragedy in the world of rock n roll, never forget.
2. | Forever 27 | ||

3. | forever 27 | ||
Painting of Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison, and they are all standing in heaven. Kurt is walking through the door frame, since he was the most recent addition. They all happened to die at age 27. They are forever 27.
4. | Forever 27 | ||
A rare coincidence of some of the greatest singers who all died at age 27. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Janis Joplin.
Also a painting of Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Janis Joplin in what appears to be heaven. May Jim Morrison Forever be 27.
5. | Forever 27 | ||
The say people use when they are talking about the fact that all Jim Morrison, Robert Johnson, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, and Brian Jones died at the age of 27.
The myth to Forever 27 or the 27 Club is that all these artists had a white cigarette lighter in their pants pocket, except Jim Morrison because he died in the bathtub however the myth says his lighter was in his back pocket. All of these people were left handed. Forever 27 is so insane.
6. | Forever 27 | ||
The ever so cool musicians/poets, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison that all died when they were 27 years old. I want to be like my idols, forever 27

Now, through Saturday, Nov. 10, these Coosa River Basin Initiative members and supporters will vie for the "privilege" of kissing a live 10-pound catfish by raising money to protect our rivers in CRBI's Catfish Kissin' Contest.
"The top fundraisers will kiss the fish," said Barbara Crawford, CRBI Treasurer who hatched the fundraising idea. "And to keep it interesting, the contestant that raises the least money will also kiss the catfish."
Supporters can "vote" for their favorite catfish kisser at CRBI's Catfish Kissin' Contest website: www.coosa.org/events/fish-fry/catfish-kissin-contest Every dollar donated equals one vote. Contestants will also have catfish collection jars at their offices and places of business where supporters can make donations. All donations are tax-deductible.
The smooching will take place at 2 p.m. during the Fish Fry at First United Methodist Church in Downtown Rome.
Served 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.. the Fish Fry meal includes U.S.-farm-raised catfish filets, hushpuppies, cole slaw and cheese grits. The fish used in the Kissin' Contest will not be consumed at the Fry; it's a permanent resident at the Rome-Floyd River ECO Center at Ridge Ferry Park.
Tickets are $9 and $7 for "small frys" and can be purchased at CRBI, Lavender Mountain Hardware in Armuchee, Kroger in Rome and Cedar Creek Park in Cave Spring. Tickets may also be purchased online at www.coosa.org.
The list Catfish Kissin' contestants includes Michael Bailey and Jerry Jennings, professors at Berry College; educators Gary Jones of East Central Elementary, Terrell Shaw of Armuchee Elementary and Owen Kinney of Darlington School; Floyd County District Attorney Leigh Patterson and assistant district attorneys Steve Cox, Natalie

Contestants are already developing creative campaigns to garner support. Said Veterinarian Dan Pate: "I am not particularly fond of kissing a fish, but to support the efforts of CRBI in preserving our river system, if needed- I'll pucker up!"
Others are trying different tacts. Darlington biology teacher Owen Kinney said, "I do not like the idea of fleshy catfish barbels tickling my face. Furthermore, sub terminal mouths are dirty and the whole idea of forcing this level of intimacy feels wrong," while First Methodist pastor Chris Barbieri remembered the all-you-can-eat catfish fries of his youth and said, "The opportunity to kiss a catfish would be an opportunity to say thank you to all catfish for the sacrifices they have made through the years for my eating enjoyment."
CRBI's Fish Fry will also include a Green Expo with exhibits highlighting healthy living and energy and water efficient products for the home. Several carnival games will allow patrons to win great prizes from CRBI and Fish Fry sponsors and supporters. CRBI expects to serve up more than 900 plates of catfish at the event.
Sponsors of the event include Georgia Power, McRae, Stegall, Peek, Harman, Smith & Manning LLP, United Community Bank, Brown & Brown Insurance, Wells Fargo Advisors, Ferrell Gas and Culbreath, Carr & Watson Animal Clinic.
