Starbound update ensures no more character wipes, does other stuff too
Starbound's update naming scheme takes the form of increasingly agitated koalas. It started back in early December with version Perturbed Koala. Less than two months later and we're already at Furious Koala. This is escalating far too quickly. Sure, Chucklefish can still patch a Seething Koala, or an Incandescent Koala, but what happens after that? Throbbing Veins Koala? Murderous Rampage Koala? Emotional Equilibrium Through Extensive Counselling And A Treatment Of Mood-Altering Drugs Koala?
Whatever the state of the 2D sandbox's future koala's, yesterday's one brings a whole heap of changes and additions. One of the fixes may ensure that things are a lot calmer in future: thanks to "massive changes to disk serialization" (no, me neither), Chucklefish will no longer need to wipe characters or ships, and are confident that worlds are safe too. In addition, players get more efficient mod distribution, as well as new biomes, monster attacks, tech, and an enforced PvP zone.
Here are the patch notes:
Code changes
- "Absolutely massive changes to disk serialization (sorry reversers), which will allow us to never need to wipe players or ships again, and hopefully never need to wipe worlds again.
- "Related, we now have a proper versioning system for save files.
- "Added difficulty levels and permadeath characters to the game.
- "Packed assets into databases (speeds up startup significantly), and included asset packing and unpacking utilities with the distribution.
- "This should also allow for easier distribution of mods, and easier construction and management of slimmed down distributions for dedicated servers (official server paks coming soon.)
- "Fix some graphical glitches with the wire nodes.
- "Fixed some pretty nasty deadlocking bugs with networking.
- "Fixed some very strange memory leak bugs stemming from a gcc lambda capture bug.
- "Fixed various crash bugs related to a number of different issues.
- "Speed up improvements with falling sand and other projectiles.
- "More efficient databases storage layout.
- "Documentation for lua functions have been written, and we're going to release them soonish.
- "Removed NaN floats from the code for performance reasons (reenabled -ffinite-math-only), we had been using them to signal that the float is disabled or in an invalid state, but we have a system for that now.
- "Some internal changes that make maintaining code much happier for us, including better enum to string handling and much faster compiles.
- "Other minor things, too numerous to list here."
"Fun" changes
- "It's no longer the holiday, so we've removed the holiday stuff for now, we'll put them back when we have a better way of enabling it for holiday time.
- "PVP is now forced enabled within Sector X. If you're in a party there's no team damage though.
- "All player drops are persistent now. So if you accidentally throw your diamond drill down a mineshaft, you don't have to suicide trying to get it back before it disappears.
- "New Monster attacks (gravity slam! gust attacks! other stuff!)
- "Fixed Legendary Weapons damage (adjusted up to be more… well… Legendary.)
- "We've put in new Techs (such as a Glitch Mech).
- "New biome type enabled. Savannah.
- "Boss Lore!
- "No more eating bandages and stims, they have their own thing now.
- "Better, more featureful .abc file support, and we have Wanderlust music in the game now. (Thanks Leth and D2!)
- "Made NPC chatter more configurable and slightly more varied.
- "Added new objects (such as lava biome treasure chests).
- "Added new items (like nightsticks and bonesaws).
- "Sword swooshes are only active for 0.6 seconds instead of 0.9 seconds.
- "Making cooldown times actually matter without slowing down combat. Also fine tuned their hitboxes.
- "Viking helmet? Viking helmet.
- "Watch out for landmines.
- "Various changes to treasure drop pools (like Avian Guards actually dropping their guns…)
- "Minor tweaks to existing armors to make them look better.
- "Medieval Furnace now actually acts like a Furnace. (Rejoice).
- "Graphical upgrades to some existing plants, and new plants.
- "Lots more secret stuff!"
Starbound's v. Furious Koala is out now.

As far as I could tell, the standing rigging (all the stainless steel wire rope holding up the mast) was 30 years old. Our insurance company said they wouldn't cover us for damage incurred as a result of the rigging failing. People warn that SS rigging looks good until it fails suddenly. So I knew that it was only a matter of time before we needed to replace the rigging but, you know, it's hard to replace something that looks fine and seems to work just because something might happen when there are other things begging to be replaced.
A could of months ago we had a very windy day. May 4th historical data shows wind gusts of 30kt but I think it was stronger than this. I motored over to have lunch with my friend, Enrico, who had ventured out in his kayak. On the way back I decided to experiment with letting out a small amount of foresail to sail back to the mooring. I let out a little, then a little more of the big genoa. Although not much was out, it was like a plastic bag on a string rather than any recognisable sail shape. I hauled in a bit whilst the sail was under load. This wasn't easy. When I got near the Bay I tried to furl the genoa in all the way. It was extremely difficult, even head to wind. I managed to get most of it in and motor back.
Upon inspection it was obvious that the furler was very sick. Here's a video of what it was doing:
I managed to take a photo through a small hole in the furler to reveal broken wires on the forestay. Not good.
Putting these two things together it seemed that there were probably broken wires would up like a spring inside the furler extrusion. The forestay keeps the mast from falling down. So I ran all the spare halyards to the bow and found a rigger.
Time for a full re-rig.

Better HTML with Cascading Style Sheets
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) help you polish up your websites without taking a crash course in programming.
In the early 90s, HTML was not expected to do anything apart from rendering text and providing links. Layout functionality arrived later due to industry lobbies. The aftermath is what we have today: incredibly long table columns and clumsy font definitions. The layout for 100 characters of text can take twice that amount of HTML code. To solve the problem, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)[1] approved the first version of (Cascading Style Sheets) CSS in 1996. CSS provides a flexible means for defining style elements. You can use CSS to achieve more granular and efficient control over your web designs. CSS lets you define a layout for every single HTML element, even for a single letter. You can change the size of the element, create a frame, and add space. This article gives you a bird's eye view of the current version of CSS, Version 2.1; you will need some knowledge of HTML to follow this article.

Why is Radio Pakistan mute over sale of Gurudwara land in Pakistan?, ask Sikhs
Thursday - Jan 07, 2010, 12:36pm (GMT+5.5)
Gurdaspur, Jan.6 (ANI): The confiscation of the land belonging to Sikh Gurudwaras in Pakistan for allotment to the Defence forces to build colonies has caused concern to the Sikh minority. The step is in violation of the Nehru -Liaqat Pact.
The Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the premier body of the Sikhs in India, has raised its concern over the violation and blamed the Pakistan government on its failure to provide security and safety to the property belonging to Gurudwaras.
"During partition in 1947, a pact was signed between the then Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistan's Prime Minister Liaqat Ali that the property of our Sikh Gurus will not be sold to anybody. But the pact has been violated. The other point is that Sikhs are minority in Pakistan and they are being subjugated, which is unfair. Sikhs in all parts of the world are protesting against the selling of lands of Gurudwaras," said Joginder Singh, Secretary, SGPC.
"I don't think that the Sikhs residing in Pakistan are given permission to uphold their traditions. Recently Roop Singh was accused of being a Sikh spy and cases were filed against him. They have insulted the turban by filing the case. These acts demonstrate that the Pakistan administration is not concerned about the Sikh religion. It should not happen. Through the Indian government we want to appeal to the Pakistan government to protect traditions of our religion. The Sri Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee is ready to give its full support," said Joginder Singh, Secretary, SGPC.
Sikhs in India are worried about the security of their brothers and sisters in Pakistan.
They are also surprised to notice that Radio Pakistan, which is vocal about the minorities in India, has not raised the issue with its own Government and taken up the cause of Sikhs.
The sanctity of the religious places of Sikhs is at stake. The so-called sympathizer of Sikhs in Pakistan; the vocal members of Radio Pakistan, have opted to stay mute and look at other side.

So as it was stated in page 3 of this thread, u can use this site to create ur sprite and it will show up on ur game:
then just follow the rest of the steps:
1. dowload sprite to rpg character file
2. save name w/ "$" in front of ur character's name.
3. save character in the rpg character file. (if not u can manually import the character by clicking import button on rpg resources, and selecting ur file)
This should make it show, it worked 4 me, and there are face creators 4 ur rpg out there, but some are not as good as the original provided ones.
just go to google and type in rpg vx face generator

Leafy Greens by Mark Bittman
You'd have thought that Mark Bittman would have covered everything in his How to Cook Everything, but no, he left out a few greens recipes. In Leafy Greens: An A-to-Z Guide to 30 Types of Greens Plus More Than 120 Delicious Recipes, Bittman covers every edible green leaf you could think of . . . and some you couldn't. The first section of the book discusses each green, its varieties, what to look for when buying it, nutritional information, cooking tips, and appropriate substitutions. Can't find mizuna? Use mustard greens.
He then provides recipes for soups, salads, side dishes and main courses. The recipes are simple to prepare. Many only have five or six easy-to-find ingredients, and most (even the main courses) can be prepared in under an hour. Although a small handful of the recipes are a little bland, the majority are tasty and fresh and definitely healthy. Overall, it's a great book to use if you're interested in incorporating healthy vegetables into your diet or if you just want to make some sense of all the foliage at the supermarket.

These people need patterns, regularity, a systematic approach, and something that doesn't require extra work on their behalf. It makes their job easier to know that every company works the same way. Apple doesn't care about making other people's jobs easier. Apple doesn't care about making its own job easier. Apple cares about making great stuff. And it works.
And that is it in a nutshell. All of the people saying Apple "needs" another blockbuster are really saying Apple needs to operate like every other company or else they will fail.
The truth is, Apple has largely succeeded by not operating like every other company. By not following market trends they instead can set them.
You want to know what true innovation is? Doing what the heck you want and not giving two rats about other people's expectations and priorities.
Also, in this economy, in the markets they are in, true innovation is taking cash to the bank while everyone else is trying to figure out how to borrow it just to survive (Dell, RIM, HTC, Nokia… I could make this parenthetical aside very,very, long).
Wow. I got linked by Patrick Rhone. Holy crap…
Nuff' said.

Due to some extenuating circumstances (mostly just poor planning on my part), I wasn't able to draw a new comic today. To make up for my indiscretion, I thought I'd post a little golden nugget from the vault.
I've been drawing the Ghost for many years but this is his first comic. I drew it last summer while trying to ignite creative energy with some drawing/storytelling exercises. This represents the primordial goop that eventually led to the Limbo comic strip. It's a little more melancholy than the daily strips have been turning out, but I think you can see the essence is still there.

If you don't already know, I'm the next Oprah. Actually, I'm Sarah and I plan to reach personhood just as Oprah has. My mission for 2012 is to reach as many people, see as many places, and try as many new things as possible. I'm going to document all of this through a video blog with my newly purchased iPhone. I don't care how shabby my circumstances are, I'm going to make a difference with this. Whether you view it strictly for entertainment, or for more profound reasons, it will be worthwhile. Everything is majorly under construction, however, my 21st birthday is next Wednesday and I intend to start these shenanigans on this date. So do yourself and perhaps myself a favor, tune in once it's up and running….
until then….
check out the facebook page :D
I'd love your support and know you'll LOVE the work in progress

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Washington consumers soon will be able to recycle compact fluorescent bulbs and other lights that containing mercury at no cost.
A state law passed in 2010 called for a program to collect, transport and recycle residential lights containing mercury starting Jan. 1. That law will also make it illegal for people to discard burnt-out fluorescent bulbs in the trash starting next year.
The recycling program will be paid for by producers of lights that contain mercury.
State regulators say broken fluorescent lights expose workers, residents and children to toxic mercury vapors. Mercury poses a threat to public health.
The Department of Ecology recently adopted a rule to carry out the law.

MARENGO, Ind. (WHAS11) – Small town politics turned into a shouting match Monday evening in southern Indiana.
For several months, residents of Marengo, Indiana have been arguing over whether one of the town council members should be allowed to serve on the board.
Peggy Bullington owns property in Marengo but spends most of her time with her new husband living outside the city limits.
The city lawyer and other officials say that disqualifies her from being a resident.
Bullington submitted her resignation to the group during the meeting.
"Crawford County politics, I've been in 'em a long time. But I'll never get into the town of Marengo's politics again – I'll tell you that," she said.
Bullington plans to file paperwork Tuesday to prove her residency.

SeaWorld San Diego is an animal theme park, oceanarium, outside aquarium, and marine mammal park, located in San Diego, California, United States. The park is owned by SeaWorld Entertainment, a division of Blackstone Group. SeaWorld San Diego is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Adjacent to the property is the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, which conducts research on marine biology and provides education and outreach on marine issues to the general public, including information in park exhibits.
SeaWorld was founded in March 21, 1964 by four graduates of the University Of California, Los Angeles. Although their original idea of an underwater restaurant was not feasible at the time, the idea was expanded into a 22-acre (8.9 ha) marine zoological park along the shore of Mission Bay in San Diego. After an investment of about $1.5 million, the park opened with 45 employees, several dolphins, sea lions, and two seawater aquariums, and hosted more than 400,000 visitors in its first year of operation.
Initially held as a private partnership, SeaWorld offered its stock publicly in 1968 enabling them to expand and open additional parks. The second SeaWorld location, SeaWorld Ohio, opened in 1970, followed by SeaWorld Orlando in 1973 and SeaWorld San Antonio (the largest of the parks) in 1988. SeaWorld Ohio was later sold to Six Flags in January 2001. The parks were owned and operated by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich between 1976 and 1989, when they were purchased by Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. After Anheuser-Busch was acquired by InBev, SeaWorld San Diego and the rest of the company's theme parks were sold to the Blackstone Group in December 2009, which operates the park through its SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment division.
SeaWorld currently leases the land from the City of San Diego with the lease expiring in 2048. The premises must be used as a marine mammal park, and no other marine park may be operated by SeaWorld within 560 miles of the City limits.
As of December 31, 2012, there are 26 animal habitats, 10 rides, 20 shows, 2 play areas, 4 special limited-time events, and 11 "distinctive experiences" (including special experiences such as swimming with dolphins). Note that some of the shows may vary during dayparts or seasons, but are counted as separate shows.

A few photos from little Cole's second birthday!!
On his actual birthday which was March 5th, we filled the entire living room floor with balloons so they were there when he woke up. He was entertained for a week and probably would have entertained for the whole month had I left them there. We also had his giant tee pee set up so he could play with big brother in it. Welcome to being two little Cole!!
Baby Small ++ 28 Weeks
Baby Small is about the size of an eggplant, weighting at almost 2 1/2 lbs!!! I am officially 7 months pregnant, and after this months doctor visit, I will be scheduled for appointments every TWO weeks! The time is going by incredibly fast and I'm getting so anxious to meet baby girl!
Weight Gain Total: 14lbs
Cravings: Cantaloupe still….I will eat a whole on in one sitting :D
Workouts: Yoga!
Milestones: I'm in the third trimester yay!
Dear Baby Small,
I've been very exhausted here lately which has me a little concerned because I have a very busy few months ahead of me. This week your big brother Cole turned TWO, so we had a lovely birthday dinner which included cake, grilled pork chops and corn on the cob, and lots of other yummies I'm sure you enjoyed. Your kicks are super strong and sometimes are a bit uncomfortable but I love knowing that you're active and healthy. We are getting closer every day to meeting you and I can't wait!! It's almost spring time, and you will be making your debut this summer!!!! Until next time…
Baby Small ++ 25 Weeks
Baby Small is growing fast and at 1 1/2 lbs is about the size of a cauliflower bouquet! She is VERY active. Much more active than I remember my little boys being in the belly. I feel like this pregnancy is going by so fast with only a few more months to prepare for her arrival! I've finally stocked her closet with the first of many outfits which I will be dressing her beautiful little self in ahhh! Excited much? Just a tad ;)
Weight Gain Total: 14lbs
Cravings: Cantaloupe! Gosh I cannot get enough of it!!
Workouts: Yoga!
Milestones: Baby girl won't be naked on the streets! We purchased her first little outfits!!
Dear Baby Small,
This weekend was Valentines day so me and your daddy went out and looked at some beautiful things for your nursery! Everyone is getting so excited to meet you! Yesterday I went and photographed your adorable baby cousin "P" who has just arrived and I told her what great friends the two of you will be! You have been giving mommy some very strong heartburn so you better come out with hair long enough to french braid…mommy would much appreciate it!! We love you little one!
So for Haydens class, we made "Mini Valentines" which were itty bitty hearts folded into itty bitty envelopes!
Even Cole helped make some
I hope everyone enjoys their Valentines day!!
So I'm officially 24 weeks pregnant. I know I still have a lot of time before I get to looking like a walking watermelon, however I have successfully made it two pregnancies without having to buy maternity clothes and I don't plan on buying any this time around either. It is an expense that I feel is a waste of money, a waste I simply cannot afford. And I feel so much more comfortable with myself knowing that I can remain in my pre-pregnancy clothes.
I can already hear most of you thinking "well I get HUGE during my pregnancy, blah blah blah." Fitting into regular clothes has little to do with how thin you remain throughout your pregnancy and more to do with HOW clothes fit on your body. So let me explain…
FLOWY & LONG SHIRTS | If any of you expectant mothers HAVE purchased maternity wear, you know how terribly pricey they are and it's all because it's "maternity" clothing… a.k.a pants with stretchy bands and shirts that flow over your bump. I just couldn't see myself wasting money on clothes that I really already own. You can buy just about any style of clothing these days which includes LONG and FLOWY shirts. Not only are they comfortable, but they don't "hug" your bump too tight so you have plenty of room to wear the shirts throughout your entire pregnancy.
RUBBER-BAND PANT | Another reason why long and flowy shirts are a great pregnancy option is they are long enough to cover what I like to call "the rubber-band" pant. For those who know me, I own every color and patterned skinny jean imaginable and I can't even imagine not being able to wear those throughout my pregnancy. How is it possible? Rubber-band the top! Buy a pack of those black skinny rubberbands, loop it through your botton hole, and you got yourself some DIY stretchy banded pants. It has never failed me. I throw on a long shirt and nobody has a clue. You can be just as comfortable wearing your fashionable skinnies as you would some boring maternity jeans. Just saying!
DRESSES | Another way I dress my bump without it being maternity wear is wearing a dress! ALL kinds of dresses can fit over the top of your bump. During my last pregnancy I got a few comments "you will stretch your clothes." Most of the clothes I wear are soft cottons and will shrink in the wash. NONE of my clothes have been ruined by stretching something over my bump. Long maxi skirts are also an amazing option because you can fit them right below your bump.
THE HUSBANDS CLOTHES | If all else fails, go plundering through the hubbys closet. I go and find the softest of the hubbies T's and pair them with some cute leggins, my favorite pair of boots, and a jean jacket and I'm good to go! I get that this style isn't for everyone, but it totally fits the rest of my closet so why not?
I think it is SO important to feel good about yourself while you are pregnant and sitting around in sweatpants all the time just doesn't do it for me and if you are a young family just starting off, it is HARD to spend 40-60 bucks on a maternity shirt, or 90-100 bucks on jeans. Not only that, but shopping while you are up to 30lbs heavier is SO frustrating and only gets you down.
I know this option isn't for everyone, but if I can inspire those that ARE looking for other options instead of maternity wear, I want to be here to tell you it IS doable!
Happy Monday fellow preggers. Get out of those sweats and get dolled up!
