Phuket Information
Phuket Airport
What to Expect on Arrival and Leaving Phuket Airport0
News Update: Phuket Airport's new international terminal is due to open soon
Due to the evergrowing number of flights to Phuket, its international airport is going through a major revamp and enlargement that should be completed in 2016. Try to get a window seat if you are flying into Phuket International Airport - the sights are simply unforgettable. Aircraft flying in from the east follow an approach path that's smack-bang right over Phang Nga Bay and its graphic limestone karsts, isolated green islets and multihued fishing boats. At both high and low tide the bay is a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colours and contours.
Even though Phuket airport ranks second in the country in terms of passenger and freight volume it is quite a modest affair and within minutes of landing you will be in the terminal. Only a few hundred metres to the west, the Andaman Sea laps up on Mai Khao Beach ('White Wood') and Nai Yang Beach.
During Phuket's high season (December - May), when several flights can land one after the other, queues for immigration can sometimes be a little trying and officials thin on the ground - so be prepared for a wait unless you're willing to elbow all and sundry aside to get to the head of the line (but then again you're probably the same guy who got the window seat).
On the positive side, Phuket airport's compactness means that it's just a short stroll from immigration and customs to the luggage carousel and the front door.
Getting to Your Hotel
Limousine Taxis
A limousine service is also on hand, albeit a more expensive option (you can buy tickets for this service on the first floor of the terminal). The silver-grey vehicles are parked en masse directly opposite the terminal's main doors.
They have a reputation for driving very fast as the quicker they go the more fares they can make in one day. If your knuckles are white after the first few kilometers gently say, 'Cha cha, khrap' - which means 'go slow please'.
Taxi Meter
A well-signed taxi stand is located just outside, to the right of the main building. The taxis are red and yellow and are supposed to use their meters but you will probably have to insist that the driver turns his meter on instead of bargaining and haggling for a price.
The average fares from the airport are Phuket 400 baht, Patong 550 baht, Kata/Karon 650 baht. NB This charge is for the taxi, not per head. Please note that you will have to pay a fee of 100 baht on top of the taxi-meter fare. The trip will usually take approximately 30 minutes to Phuket, 40 minutes to Patong Beach, and around one hour to Kata Beach and Karon Beach.
There is an hourly and inexpensive bus service to Phuket Town from 06:30 to 21:30 but none to the west coast. You can buy tickets (90 baht in large buses and 100 baht in mini-buses) at a counter on the ground floor and the grey-orange-and-black buses marked AIRPORT BUS are to be found outside in the parking lot. This is not a non-stop, express service: buses halt along the way for passengers to embark/disembark. All airport buses go to Phuket Bus Terminal 1, off Phang Nga Road in Phuket Town). Read More...
Tickets for minivans are for sale at two counters on the ground floor (Phuket 100 baht, Patong 150 baht, Kata/Karon 180 baht). Minivans sometimes stop off at tour agencies where you will be asked to book a tour from which the driver makes a commission. Minivans take longer than a taxi to deliver you to your hotel as they drop off other passengers at hotels along the way.
There are also two car rental counters where you can hire cars from Avis, Alamo, National and Hertz. Please make sure to take along your passport and driving license. Many more companies are located just outside the airport. Read More...
Changing Money
There are four currency exchanges on the airport's ground floor (and one in the departure hall) but then again they are sometimes under siege by new-arrivals and do not offer the best rates. Better to use one of the airport's many ATM machines (there are seven in a row on the first floor) as the charge for a transaction is minimal. Make sure your card has a 'Cirrus' logo on the back - good for international transactions.
Duty Free On Arrival
Yes, go for it! Located just after immigration. A tip: wine is expensive in Thailand but local spirits are cheap so it makes sense to go for a litre bottle of red or white.
Disabled People's Facilities
Phuket Airport has lifts, toilets and telephones adapted to disabled persons' needs as well as designated parking spaces.
SIM Cards & Telephone Services
SIM cards are for sale at the airport's minimarts and if you go to the International Service Centre on the ground floor there is a kind lady who will set your mobile up for free. There are also mobile phones for rent (on the first floor) and enough payphones for an army of teenagers throughout the premise.
If you're desperate to send that email off there's an Internet service on the first floor with silly prices - 100 baht, or US$ 3 for up to 15 minutes.

VERY convinced that Time Trial 16 is IMPOSSIBLE.
I tried to do it without cheats [like I did the rest], but I only got 68, you need 52. I tried and tried and tried. I gave in and started using cheats, and it STILL seems impossible. Anybody complete it and have tips?
Forget it, I completed the freaking time trial, just in time to notice that ALL MY MEDALS ARE GONE ALONG WITH MY CHALLENGES. So much for Valve patching this bs... >_>
Don't give up! I would also like to know how this is done as well.
Use the portal anywhere cheat and at the start of the lvl shoot a portal at base of door and you can get under it it saves like 20 sec on total time :) i have done it legit but took hours ugh never again lol
I gave up on doing Time Trial 16 long ago. I couldn't even get bronze without cheats, with cheats i barely managed to get silver, after many attempts.
I was barely able too get this one, what's holding me up is chamber 13 step challenge I can't seem to get less then 12.
as for the deleting records problem it isn't a patch problem. What happens is the game DOES NOT auto save after you beat the level you must do a save on some random level just so that you can keep the score, then when you load the game back up you have too load that save and just go too a new game from there.
this took me a long time too figure out.
After doing every challenge up till chamber 16 legit, I completely buckled.
I cheated like a mother-fucker on this one. I completely empathise.
I literally avoided doing the whole switch thing in the last chamber. The funny thing is though, It was still hard as hell with cheats. Barely did it in 51 seconds.
Have you seen the videos of people doing this legit though? They're fucking crazy, clairvoyance, there's no other word for it.
If you actually do it legit someday. Major props.
If you actually don't do it legit. Still props.
Chamber 16 was a bitch! (Even with cheats.) I would suggest using the portal anywhere cheat. :ybut::abut::bbut::abut::bbut::ybut::ybut::abut::d left::dright:
It's still hard, but it helps a lot.
I barly even got a bronze with cheats that time chamber is frikin' bull crap
Try what the guys does in this video.
Started this about 45 minutes ago. After 30-35 minutes of trying I got it. This is how:
This strategy is flawless. And the best thing about it is that you get 13 seconds lee-way! I just squeezed it in 52 seconds dead. It'll take a while to get used to how he does it, but start following it through, but slowly. Build up. And remember, if you hit a good time then mess up; kill yourself and load from the previous good time you were at!
P.S. This isn't a guy I know that I'm advertising, someone else posted his link on here somewhere. Good luck :).
Yes, chamber 16 was really hard, almost impossible, and the 20 seconds GLaDOS wastes talking made it harder.
I Promise I did it legit and it took months, Love Portal
I understand that people don't want cheevos that are too easy, but come ON! It's just ridiculous that a majority of people have to resort to cheats just to get past it. I'm sure that I will end up being one of those that do...
I just finished this one yesterday, took me three days to get all those golds and this probably the hardest of all, with the steps ones (all of them) coming second.
Either portal bump past the first door (I don't class it as cheating, it still unlocks the achievement and the time you gain is very handy), or run like a madman. I shaded it with a 52 second run.
Chamber 18 was almost as annoying, 17 you can bump too.
You have to use the portal bumping glitch to get out of the first room while GLaDOS is talking. If you do it quick enough it gives you about a 20 second head start. For the rest of the level my strategy was to grab a cube and use it to knock over all the turrets while simultaneously blocking their shots. Even then I still managed to finish in exactly 52 seconds.
Even with the glitches and cheats, is it still worth the time and effort?
This one really did not seem hard at all, just use the portal anywhere cheat and portal bump at the beginning to shave 10 seconds of your time, save often and it was not a problem.
Use a video guide and save often. If you mess it up just a tiny bit, reload the save and try it again. That's all you need to know.
I actually did this without cheats.
It really isn't hard at all. but at the beginning, YOU HAVE TO PORTAL BUMP. AND PORTAL BUMP FAST. Seriously, practice it, make a save at like, 0 seconds in, and just practice it.
For some reason the end of this trial they are adding like 30 seconds on. Am I being penalized for something?
I actually found time trial 18 to be worse, I tried following the guides in youtube but could just not get within the time limit - I'd always be about 10 seconds off. In the end I used the portal anywhere cheat, but I did all the others without cheats. Time trial 16 was definetly doable in my opinion, you just had to think fast and use the portal bump glitch to give you a few extra seconds.
I sympathize with you lot that cheated to get this achievement, but I'm happy to say I didn't. Not because I'm better than you. I'm just convinced that because of the time it takes to put in a cheat, and the extra time that it randomly tacks onto you because of that, cheating is approximately as difficult as doing them legit.
They're ridiculously hard, but not impossible. It really is all a matter of memorization, till you know where to put ever portal before entering a room. 16 is hard because there's really no margin of error, but I do think that 18 is the hardest, simply because it's so long. You need pure, uninterrupted perfection.
The test chamber is still hard as hell though, never would I have thought Portal to be the game that breaks me.

Country Thunder 2013 sells out six months early
Hopefully any Wisconsin country music fans who were eager to party with the biggest stars this summer at Country Thunder were thinking way ahead and already purchased their tickets. The annual four-day country music festival in Twin Lakes is already sold out six months in advance of its July 18-21 run, event organizers announced Tuesday. In addition to all multi-day passes already being gobbled up, no single day tickets will be available either.
One of a large number of country festivals across Wisconsin each summer, Country Thunder has grown in recent years to draw fans from across the nation to camp out in Southeastern Wisconsin and see a lineup of some of the genre's biggest stars. Last year's festival attendance topped 33,000. That was also a sell out, but one that only came days before the festival began. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Tame Impala anything but at Turner Hall show
Kevin Parker's perfectionist tendencies went into overdrive on last year's "Lonerism," psychedelic band Tame Impala's sophomore full-length album. Besides insisting on playing nearly all the instruments in the studio, Parker mixed the album two times, flying from his native Australia to New York on both occasions, to get the details just to his liking.
Tame Impala didn't have the luxury of do-overs and fine tuning in its sold-out, 85-minute Turner Hall Ballroom set Sunday. And if Parker attempted to bring that obsessive craftsmanship to a live setting, he would run the risk of sabotaging the set's potential for spontaneity. »Read Full Article(1)
'Rep Lab' cooks up mixed batch of one-acts
In her curtain speech before Saturday night's sold-out performance of "Rep Lab," Sandy Ernst - who oversees the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's justly acclaimed intern program - made clear that the Rep simply couldn't stage its shows without each year's crop of two dozen interns.
But even as we routinely note these interns' presence - in smaller roles, as extras and in program credits, where they are listed as understudies and assistants - we rarely get to really see what they can do. Now in its third year, "Rep Lab" - short plays showcasing intern actors, directors, choreographers and designers - lets us appreciate how good they can be. »Read Full Article

The scuttlebutt is a merger between RF and PNC. RF may be more than PNC can swallow. PNC has almost twice as many assets as RF(279B vs 141B) and one-third more equity(27B vs 20B)Would anyone like to comment on this rumor?
I would be surprised if PNC try a big fish like RF. Rhor have mentioned previously that PNC dont contemplate to buy a (very) big bank. Would they go after some bank the size of WBS or PBCT ??????
They are no mergers. Acquire or die.

You'll also find our 50 albums of the year here.
Plus, to read all-new reviews of the 50 best albums and tracks of the year, plus all the trends that defined the year, pick up the new issue of NME, on sale from Wednesday December 9.
30If I Had A Heart
A song so full of tension that that even after multiple listens (which it will compel you to) you're no closer to understanding the extent of its power.
29She Wolf
Featuring a funky bassline and sex robot vocals, 'She Wolf' was a nu-pop anthem for the ages penned by the unlikely hand of The Bravery's Sam Endicott.
Propelled by shuffling drums and characterised by beautiful boy/girl vocals, 'Islands' retains all the starkness that made so many fall for its creators.
A terrifyingly compulsive, buoyantly innocent sugar-rush combining Mario-bleeps and heart-in-mouth desperation, the only sane response to which was bouncing, flailing, and then pressing 'play' again.
26Hooting And Howling
A slice of exquisite English eccentricity worthy of Kate Bush herself, even in a renaissance year for the strange and the left of field, these confessions of rowdy revelry and lust still sounded like nothing else out there.
25That Golden Rule
The lead single from 'Only Revolutions', 'That Golden Rule' perfectly captured the fast-grunge/orchestral battle scenes formula of new-era Biffy.
The vulnerable girlette of 'Quicksand' became an androgynous, adamantium-clad automaton that marched ever onwards up the charts on the back of this bouncy, bubbly wonder.
23Stillness Is The Move
Gives wiry post-punk a liquid, libidinal R&B weave that stems from a genuine fondness for late-'90s black soul.
It might not have been ecstatic enough to sell satellite TV, but The Big Pink's second single certainly crystallised the decade; the circuit-blowing culmination of new shoe with an ultramodern throbtronic pulse and a filthy smack-rock stench to its trouser.
21Poker Face
As well as being an utter TUNE, Pah-Pah-Pah 'Poker Face' signalled the arrival of an extraordinary star, the best since Ma-Ma-Ma Madonna was good.

#15145 closed Bug (fixed)
__in is ignored by an excluded query if foo__in is set to an empty iterable
|Reported by:

|Database layer (models, ORM)
|stephen.r.burrows@…, botondus@…
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
Please note that the arguments may be ignored by a filtered query. I haven't tested that.
Assume the following model setup:
from django.db import models from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType class TestModel1(models.Model): content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType) integer = models.PositiveIntegerField()
Now run the following code:
>>> from test.models import TestModel1 # or wherever you're keeping it. >>> from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType >>> integer = 1 >>> ct = ContentType.objects.all()[0] >>> TestModel1.objects.create(integer=integer, content_type=ct) <TestModel1: TestModel1 object> >>> TestModel1.objects.all() [<TestModel1: TestModel1 object>] >>> # This is where it starts getting interesting. >>> TestModel1.objects.exclude(content_type=ct, integer__in=[]) []
According to the documentation, this kind of exclude should exclude all rows where the content type is ct AND integer is in the list. Now since the list is empty, there should be no rows matching the exclusion, so all rows should be returned. Instead, I get an empty queryset.
Here's a look at the sql being generated by various queries (Line breaks added for readability):
TestModel1.objects.all() or TestModel1.objects.exclude(integer__in=[]) or TestModel1.objects.exclude(content_type__in=[])
SELECT "test_testmodel1"."id", "test_testmodel1"."content_type_id", "test_testmodel1"."integer" FROM "test_testmodel1"
SELECT "test_testmodel1"."id", "test_testmodel1"."content_type_id", "test_testmodel1"."integer" FROM "test_testmodel1" WHERE NOT ("test_testmodel1"."integer" IN (2))
TestModel1.objects.exclude(integer__in=[], content_type=ct) or TestModel1.objects.exclude(content_type=ct)

Some initial investigation:
One possible source of the problem is in WhereNode.make_atom(). When called on an in lookup with an empty list, it raises an EmptyResultSet which drops it from the query entirely. It should first check to see if it is part of an exclude, but I'm not sure that information is available at that point.
This should either be a wontfix (check your list before excluding on it), or a not-small refactor of the make_atom/as_sql portion of WhereNode to pass state into inner nodes of the tree.
I'll upload a non-solution patch to illustrate the problem. This breaks one other test, of course: aggregation_regress.AggregationTests.test_empty_filter_aggregate

text: Remember the Detroit Pistons? They don't make much in the way of news anymore although they have the eighth pick in the draft coming up later this month. The Pistons are looking for a head coach to replace the fired Lawrence Frank. The leaders are said to be Nate McMillan and Maurice Cheeks. Now George Karl, the NBA coach of the year, is available. Seems he wanted a longterm deal with the Denver Nuggets and they wouldn't give it to him. Further they didn't want him pouting next season so they decided to let him go. Would he be a good fit for the Pistons? Who knows. A good fit to me is a team in the NBA with really good players. The Pistons don't have many. They don't have any who can get them into the playoffs and whether that changes soon or not remains to be seen.

Pat Anderson, the town's former historic preservation officer, won't seek another term on the Barnstable Old King's Highway Historic District Committee.
Short of a major write-in effort at the polls – open Nov. 22 from 7 to 8 p.m. at the West Barnstable Community Building on Route 149 – Anderson's successor will be a former colleague in that office, Mary Blair Petiet.
"I'm the former staff person for the OKH," said Petiet. "My background's in history. It's my great passion, a fascinating, ongoing story. To preserve it is a valuable mission.
Born in Hyannis, Petiet grew up in Cummaquid and now lives in Barnstable Village.
"My kids are just vaguely old enough for me to consider this," she said. "The timing came together nicely. It's time to give something back to the community."
Residents of Barnstable, West Barnstable, and Cummaquid who live north of the center line of Route 6 are eligible to vote. The term is for four years.Anderson had not returned a call for comment by press time.

It was never mentioned that it could only be used online and was also never mentioned to me that it was not a visa or mastercard. The only thing they really said was that "this will highly help my credit"
I tried asking questions and they basically beat me around the bush till i gave in. After reading their website i feel like i have been scammed because they told me something completely different than what their site told me.
I am not happy at all. I want my money back IN FULL. And would also appreciate my overdraft fees refunded as well. I was told that if my account didnt have the correct amount that they would not be able to pull the money out.

Pineapple Ice Cream
Total Time
Prep 18 hrs
Cook 0 mins
Had this at the fair. Thought this was good. Hope you like this.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 236.59 ml sour cream
- 425.24 g can sweetened condensed milk
- 473.18 ml milk
- 295.73 ml crushed pineapple, undrained
- Combine sour cream and sweetened condensed milk; add milk and pineapple.
- Pour into ice cream freezer canister. Freeze according to manufacturer's instruction.
Most Helpful
I used vanilla yogurt instead of milk and only half of the sweetened condensed milk (because the yogurt was already sweet) and it was the best frozen yogurt I've made in an ice cream maker. Lots of possibilities with other fruit, too, but the pineapple was fabulopus--and it was so darned easy, with no precooking! Thanks for sharing!
This could not be easier and everyone absolutely LOVED it! I did use a carton of heavy cream because I didn't think it'd be rich enough with just milk BUt next time, I will just use milk because it's PLENTY rich w/o the cream! I'm ALL for anything you don't have to cook first!!! EXCELLENT!!
I agree with Slatts. Rich but not too sweet, and simple. Great desert! Thanks, Blue Rose! Made for ZWT4.

Strict rules on uniforms contrary to direction of education reform
Thanks to Paul Surtees for shedding some light for me on the mysterious topic of school uniforms ('Uniforms are about vital factors: school spirit and discipline', Education Post, October 27).
Having grown up in the US only in public schools where uniforms were not required, I find the requirements in Hong Kong regarding school attire quite restrictive, and even contrary to the direction of school reform, which is towards greater creativity and active student learning.
My daughter's school not only requires uniforms but coloured hair ties are not allowed - only black ones - and socks and running shoes must be 'pure white'.
Indeed it was a telling analogy when Mr Surtees compared schools with the 'disciplined services' of police, army, etc. Uniforms and such strict requirements of dress do indeed contribute to a similar atmosphere to those - i.e., deterring humour and fun, repressing individuality and creativity and fostering blind adherence to rules.
I do not discount the need for rules and the contributions a uniform could make towards a common school spirit. However, to encourage learning, and not just 'being taught', schools could try to strike a better balance between discipline and fostering a sense of pleasure in attending school and learning.
I am sure many would agree spending most of one's learning years in a strict environment, and coming home to more schoolwork, contributes to stress. Some would even agree such an upbringing may even tip children towards rebellious behaviour or addictions to stimulants (including computer games) which would not seem so attractive if their daily environment were not so deadening.
My ideal balance would be: a school uniform composed of a polo shirt with school logo only, with perhaps a requirement to wear dark trousers or jeans. Leave the rest to the child. An untidy appearance can be a reason to inquire whether parents are facing difficulties at home - but should not, as implied by Mr Surtees, be a reason to assume 'parental neglect'.
The classroom should allow room for individuality and the natural activeness and fun-seeking of children so these natural tendencies can be harboured in the interest of better student learning. Fear of error and reprimand is not the most effective teacher.
If I am not mistaken, the direction of local school reform is towards more 'student-centred teaching' anyway. Hopefully the uniform tradition will soon catch up with this trend.
DORIS LEE, Ma On Shan
A multilingual CUHK could reap benefits
I disagree that Chinese University of Hong Kong should teach mainly in Chinese ('Concern over rising use of English at university', South China Morning Post, October 9). Although I think that CUHK should initially maintain its speciality by teaching mainly in Chinese, it would be a good idea to teach in other languages, such as Putonghua and English, as well.
By offering more courses taught in all three languages, CUHK will provide more opportunities for non-Chinese-educated students. In addition, it will be a plus factor for foreign students to come to CUHK, either for exchanges or for full-time study.
Not all Chinese know Cantonese or Putonghua well, especially Chinese in foreign countries. Therefore, more students will be attracted to CUHK if it teaches in languages other than Chinese.
I believe teaching in other languages will not only benefit the foreign students but the local students as well, because they will have more opportunities to practise their language skills.
In addition, many people overseas have the misconception that CUHK only teaches in Chinese, because of its name. In order to attract more students, especially those from overseas, CUHK has to make it known that it does not offer only courses taught in Chinese.
Offering an equal number of courses in different languages will not tarnish CUHK's image, as the preservation of Chinese culture and heritage can be maintained through other means, such as the campus environment.
KHOO MAY YEE, Sha Tin
Putonghua plans huge waste of money
Re teaching in Putonghua ('HK$200m plan to help schools use Putonghua', South China Morning Post, October 30), Hong Kong students are probably the most stressed in the world due to the unique historical background of the region. While the handling of Chinese and English is already tough and confusing, if the medium of instruction for Chinese language changes to Putonghua, students will undoubtedly be unable to cope with it. Besides, the huge economic burden is unnecessary; HK$200 million is a huge amount considering the plan's insignificance.
Although learning Chinese language using Putonghua may help improve students' writing, it isn't worthwhile spending such a startling amount on it. In addition, factors like patriotism or political reasons are not supposed to influence students' study.
LAU TIN-YING, F6, Pui Ching Middle School
Back to school for the British Council
I had always been under the impression that the British Council was no everyday institution, so I was surprised and bemused to read the slogan in their advertisement on the front page of Education Post on October 27.
It may be an everyday mistake in Hong Kong but for the purposes of education, I suggest that they change their slogan from 'Everyday an inspiration' to 'Everyday an adjective'. It seems the standard of English in Hong Kong really is plummeting - every day.

Skill Level Intermediate
In this movie, you'll apply the third and final wave of effectors to the scene to complete the procedural animation. When working with this many effectors, it's very important to name them so you know what each effector is doing. So we have our first two waves of effectors applied here, and as I just bring these to the left and just kind of scrub them through our scene, we have our first wave pushing the cubes forward, rotating them, revealing our first word, NEXT.
And then we have our second wave passing through as well, pushing the cubes forward, rotating them, and bringing our cube text back to their original position and rotation. So let's just bring these effectors all the way off to the right here, and we can start applying our third wave. So our third wave is going to have a position effector, a rotation effector, and then we need to have a third effector that pushes just the text cubes forward in Z space, just to give it a little bit of contrast and become the focal point of our scene.
So let's create our first plain effector for our third wave, and this is going to be the one that pushes our cubes forward in Z space, so this is applied to our cube grid and cubes text. So let's just type ALL, and this is dealing with position, and this is part of wave three, so All.Pos.Wave3. So make sure that we apply this to both our cube grid and our cube text. So that's applied down there.
And automatically, the default is 100 centimeters in the Y. We don't want that. We want to have them have the effector push the cubes in -Z space, and we'll just type in -150. And we need to change the falloff from infinite to something else. We don't want all of our cubes to be effected all at once. And we're going to go ahead and choose Box Falloff. And if we scale the Box Falloff up here and make it a little bit wider, you could see that if I pass this through our scene, that's creating a wave-like effect.
So let's just make sure that our falloff is tall enough, that it's encompassing all of our grid, so that that is now affecting our entire grid. So that's looking good. And now we need to make a second plain effector, and this is going to rotate our cubes and reveal our second word. So this is going to be applied to the cube grid and cube text, so ALL, and then rotation, ROT, and this is part of wave three as well. Let's make sure we apply this new effector to both our cube grid and cube text.
Bring it all the way down here. And we need to turn off position. We don't want this to affect the position, but we do want to affect the rotation. And we want to affect to it in the positive 90 degrees in the pitch. And you can see as I scrub that to 90 degrees, that's revealing our second word, PIXEL. It's the fake name of our fake TV station. So we need to change the falloff of this effector. We don't want it to affect all of our cubes all at once.
We need to have a linear falloff here so it's affected from left to right, and we need to rotate this linear falloff in the correct direction, so we just need to rotate it 90 degrees there. You can see as I move this through our cube grid, that as it passes left to right, it rotates our cubes and reveals our second word. If I move this effector to where our position effector is, if I select both of the effectors here that's in our third wave and I move them from left to right, we have our queues being pushed forward, and then we have our cubes being rotated by the second effector and then we reveal our second word.
We're going to create third plain effector that's going to push these cube texts forward, just to give it a little bit of contrast and break it out of this cube grid, because it's looking kind of boring right now. So let's create our third plain effector. This is just going to affect the cube text so we're going to just put text. It's going to effect position, and this is part of wave three. Let's name is textpositionwave3, and let's just apply this to our cube text.
You could see right away that it's moving it forward, but you notice it shouldn't be affecting it like that because the positive Y is up. What we need to do is have it pushed in negative Z space, but you can see that it's not acting appropriately. And the reason for this is because of the stacking order of our effectors. You can see that we have all these rotation effectors rotating the cubes, and that's changing the rotation of our axis direction of our cube text here.
So we need to make sure that when we apply this it's applied before any of the rotation effectors are passing through. So now if we go back, you can see that that's acting as it should. If we're pushing it in the negative Z space, it's actually moving in the negative Z space. Let's just put 150. And we will need to change the falloff. We don't want it to affect everything all at once, so we're going to change that to Box falloff. We need to make sure that we scale up the falloffs so it encompasses the entire cube text objects, make sure it's wide enough in that direction as well. Zoom out and let's make sure it's high enough there.
So now we select all of our wave three effectors and I move them from left to right. We have our cubes are coming forward, rotating, and then we have our second word appearing on our scene. We can actually just move these two back so that they're all kind of being affected all at the same time.
So that's looking pretty good. So now if we zoom out here, if we select all of our effectors and bring all of them to the left, we can get a little preview of what our animation is going to look like. So as this pass through, our first wave is passing through, reveals our first word. The second wave comes through, pushes the text back, and our third and final wave pushes through and reveals our second and final word.
So you can really start to see what this final animation is going to look like. So with all these plain effectors set up and the animation pretty much mapped out, you'll see that at first glance, there's a lot of moving parts. But by stacking all these effectors, you can control the entire animation with just two keyframes.

Pottery begins in the simplest way; with stoneware clay, a wheel, and a ton of patience.
After the piece has dried to a consistency known as leather hard, leaves, carvings, and handles are applied. The piece then requires five to seven days to dry out completely.
After the bisque firing, a glaze is applied. This is where the the pot gets its beautiful color.
The final step is the glaze firing, where temperatures reach approximately 2400 degrees. From start to finish, the entire process takes about two weeks.

Police: Conn. woman gave son weapons for school
HARTFORD, Conn. A woman in Connecticut is facing charges for allegedly sending her 12-year-old son to school with a BB gun and a folding knife so he could protect himself from bullies.
Police say 38-year-old Sylvia Mojica (moe-HEE'-kuh) of Hartford has been charged with risk of injury to a minor. She is expected to appear in court on Friday.
Mojica allegedly gave her son the BB pistol and the folding knife to bring to school on Friday. The boy told school officials that he had the items in his backpack.
Administrators say the boy now faces a suspension or even expulsion. They are also investigating the bullying allegations.
It was not immediately clear if Mojica had a lawyer.

Moisture! By Thick, course hair
Soft, smooth and manageable hair even after one application. Easy to apply. I use twice weekly, my hair has never felt or looked better. Highly recommend. Posted on 2016-06-12
Excellent By Kelly
I bought a small size to test this out and its absolutely brilliant. Leaves straight hair really smooth, shiny and hydrated. My mother who has dry curly hair saw even better results... i think the dryer the hair the better the result.. her curls are looking amazing, her hair is shiny and hydrated. I only use this occasionally when i use hot tongs too much within the month and it really helps. Its a total hair transformation which is very noticeable within the first couple of uses. I recommend this product Posted on 2016-04-13

Desert island product By Lynn
I first purchased a sample size of this and was so impressed that I went on to get the 1litre size. I have fine hair which is prone to snapping, and I can honestly say that since using this along with the body building shampoo and conditioner I am seeing a significant improvement in my hair. I couldn't be without it now. Posted on 2016-03-02

Detailed construction and fabrication drawings that show the proposed material, shape, size, and assembly of the parts and how the entire unit will be installed.
Use shop drawings in a sentence
I had to consult the shop drawings to see how everything would go together and how it would all work.
We make most of our own parts in-house and have to make sure engineering delivers the correct shop drawings to make the parts correctly.
Without the shop drawings, I'm not sure the contractor would be able to guide the team in properly installing the given unit.

I was gonna make this thread later...I was going to play this game later..but here I am. Honestly, I heard some praise for this game, found it for cheap and was planning to play it eventually. Looking at the back of the box confirmed that I need to start it within the next week (that and I can't afford any more games for a while anyway). Now the back of the box mostly just has general points to praise the game and the generic line at the top saying "It's an entirely new way to play SRPGs!" How generic? But the "body" of the text I suppose you could say...I just have to quote it.
"The stars of Broadway battle against evil warlords of ancient Japan in New York in their steam-powered mechanized suits, spearheaded by a Japanese youth burning with the spirit of a samurai!"
I need to play it ASAP. Especially if this is all played completely straight.

JACKSON Ky. (WYMT) - After heading on the road Friday and defeating the Somerset Briar Jumpers 24-13, the Breathitt County Bobcats find themselves in the very same position they were in last season. 5-0 as they head in to their game with the Hazard Bulldogs.
The Bobcats have won 18 straight regular season games dating back to 2010, and that kind of momentum has to work in the favor of the Bobcats. However, head coach Mike Holcomb says he isn't worried about the past.
"I think it no doubt gives them confidence. But we try to go from what today is and tomorrow", said Holcomb. "You know, yesterday has happened. We are proud of the fact that we are undefeated, but the challenge before us is Hazard. So we are worried about how we prepare today, and how we play tomorrow. You have to have amnesia if something bad happens. And you have to have amnesia if success happens, because you never know what is happening around the corner."

Skill Level Intermediate
Here is an image where we have got a little bit of blown out detail in the highlights. You can see in the hair here where the sun was hitting the blond towhead here that you are getting blown out detail there. Also in the side of the face, here in the cheek and the shoulders as well. There is a loss of detail on the shirt and across the shoulder as well. So how do we go about in getting some detail? Well the first thing you want to do is do your Channel lock. You want to investigate the individual channels of the document, to see if there is detail in a channel that you might be able to borrow from. So as a reminder to do the Channel lock you hold on the Command key or Ctrl on Windows and do 3, 4 or 5. So Command+3 is the red channel and you can see there that now there is really no detail in the blown out area in the red channel.
Command or Ctrl+4 takes you to the green channel. You can see it's still little bit better and we got a little bit more detail on the hair here, but not much elsewhere. And then Command+5 or Ctrl+5 and now look at that. We actually have quite a better detail in these blown out highlights and in the shirt and across the shoulder. So by doing the channel walk we have actually discovered that there is some detail in this image just in a particular channel that we might want to borrow from. Command+2 or Ctrl+ 2 to take us back in the RGB Composite. So how do I steal detail from one channel and push it down into the others? We use our friend the Channel Mixer adjustment layer. I'm going to go my Adjustment panel, and choose the Channel Mixer button. We have the option to turn on Monochromes. We are going to click that check box and then we just need to zero out the channels that we don't care about.
So I'm going to make Red zero and hit the Tab key and I'll make Green zero, hit the Tab key one more time and I'm going to make the Blue channel 100% and now it's as if we are actually looking at that Blue channel. Press Enter or Return there. But indeed it is an adjustment layer that's given us the illusion of this grayscale image. I can turn that on or off and I still have my color version underneath it. Next we want change the blend mode of this grayscale channel layer here back and push it back down into the composite RGB Color image underneath. To view that we are going to change the blend mode to Luminosity.
Because remember Luminosity just gives us the detail and I'm pushing the back through. I'm blending it with the color. Now you actually get two tips for the price of one here because if you take a look at this image now, she kind of looks like she is very sunburn or a little bit tan. So if would you actually want bronze somebody, it's a great technique. Just create a Channel Mixer adjustment layer or grayscale Black & White adjustment layer and change the blend mode to Luminosity and then with your Move tool selected just type a number to lower the Opacity and so if I make it 50%, here is before and here is after. It's just the way that kind of make them look like they had a little color or a little sunshine, very helpful if you live in Seattle.
So I'm going to take that back to 0 to 100%. So what we are going to do is we are going to mask in the detail where we want to add the detail in the highlight areas. So to begin, well let's go ahead and invert this layer mask. It's easier just paint in what we want to keep, as opposed to painting out everything we don't want. So Command+I, Ctrl+I to invert to that mask. It fills that layer mask with black, which essentially hides everything in that adjustment layer. I'm going to B for my Brush tool. Pick a nice large soft brush here and we are going to start with the very low Opacity, say 20% or 30% by just pressing it 2 or 3 in your keyboard, and we are going to paint with white against this black layer mask.
So layer mask filled with black. I'm going to paint with white as our foreground color. If it's not your foreground color you can press X until it is. And let's just start gently painting a few strokes at a time over these blown out highlights areas. Now it's not going to be perfect. It's not going to be as if you shot the image perfectly the first time but all we are trying to accomplish here is bringing down those hot spots so that our eye doesn't go to that bright spot on the hair at first. We want to focus here on the face and the eyes. We will just come in along the cheek here a little bit. You will really notice it on the shirt. Look at the strap here I'm bringing that flower detail in.
Just get just a low opacity, just pressing and dragging, just a little bit. One stroke at a time. It's really helpful to actually turn this on and off occasionally. Now here is before and there is after. It may not seem like you are actually doing much. But when you see the before and after you can really see the impacts it's having. So I'll come over here in this side of the hair, bring down some of those hot spots and I'm just doing multiple strokes here, just clicking and dragging multiple times. I'm going to come through the part of the hair here come back over on the left side and it's just really up to your taste.
I'm going to come a little bit under the eye a little bit. Again this side of the neck. You don't want to overdo it but just kind of even out the tones and just get out some of these hot spots that are distracting from the rest of the image here. Okay that's probably getting enough to kind of show you the technique. Here is before and there is after and it's a very good use of our friend the Luminosity blend mode, where you are stealing detail from a channel that had it by converting that into an adjustment layer. Channel Mixer's probably your best bet there and then changing the blend mode of that to Luminosity and just masking off where you wanted to show up.

Pennsylvania's state university system and its faculty are set to meet again as they try to resolve a prolonged contract dispute.
Hundreds of faculty members from the 14 state-owned universities protested last week outside the State System of Higher Education offices while the board of governors heard from both sides. Now, the sides are set to meet again Friday.
The Patriot-News reports the sides remain divided on health care, distance education, curriculum and class size.
Union members have been working without a contract since June 2011. They have authorized their leadership to call a strike if necessary,
The union says the system is prolonging the impasse by making unreasonable demands for concessions on health coverage and other issues. School officials say concessions are necessary to ensure affordable, quality education.
