WIP: Galen Marek - Sith Stalker
Finally after all those years I can make a thread in the showcase forum. :)
I've started modeling on the sith stalker helmet today, and I'm going to try to get it in jka. It's my first model that I will get into jka, but I will work on it very slowly, because I rather have a quality model instead of a fast and ugly model.
So feel free to comment, I can use all the help needed.
Here are some screenshots:
I'll be here to witness this moment in JA history! hehe
I totally agree with quality over speed, there's no deadlines when you enjoy the work. I encourage you to show wireframes of the mesh, it's more helpful to point out errors. I'm not really familiar with the design tho, it's from TFU i think?
I couldn't see anything, could you put them in your LF Album please?
Yes, it's from TFU, the coolest outfit of them all, in my opinion ^^
Here are the wires:
The shape should be more along the lines of a human skull, at least judging by the images i found online, what you built has more of a ball shape.
Here's a good way of getting proportions closer:
Load a .glm or .xsi from raven and build your mesh around the head, line up the features such as the eyes (visor) and mouth so you will know they are correct.
I also suggest you dont get too caught up in keeping your mesh all quads, tris will define the end product anyway. Don't be afraid to build the whole thing in "modules" and connect everything together in the end.
Keep the updates comin.
Hm, it seems that I got some problems loading .glm files into 3ds max.
I got the file from your webpage, do I have to load that file into max any other way?
Try this:
It's Kyle and Jan's meshes in max 7 format and they are scaled correctly.
Thanks, I've been looking for a file like this for a while.
Btw, do you edit these models, or build them from scratch around these?
Edit: I've been playing with that kyle model, and I must say, I've never worked with these kind of wires (all tris). I've always modeled in editable poly, instead of mesh. So this is all new to me.
Here is a screenshot of putting my helmet on the kyle model. Should I edit the model of kyle, or should I start the body from scratch?
Personally i always modeled from scratch for JA, i only re-used the hands. I've always built around the skeleton or kyle's mesh, sometimes i modeled from scratch and fitted them around kyle afterwards.
I guess it's up to you, if you feel this will be quicker or easier then you should use it.
The reason the mesh is all tris is because it was imported from the .glm. You could still convert it to epoly but it wont be much help i guess, i havent worked with editable mesh in ages myself, kind of obsolete with the epoly tools.
Ok, I've been having fun with that kyle model. I found a way to create my mesh from it by converting it to editable poly, and then have some edges removed so I can read it better.
Here are some screenshots:
I was looking for some iron monger reference and i found something that could be helpful:
I think the mark 2 and mark 3 would be a great starting base for some of the proportions, i usually get a lot of images related to what i'm modeling when i cant find good enough material of the actual item.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for that, but atm school is closing around me, as I am modeling, programming and drawing almost at the same time. So I haven't made lots of progress lately.
Maybe I can make some sketches based on the images of the masked marek from the sith end of the game, e-mail me if you are interested
Looks very good. The helmet looks alittle sunken in on screen 2. right above the t-visor opening. its good though.
the skin is ready?
Probably not. There hasn't been an update in a while so the model may have been dropped.
Yet I would have liked to have the skin it is genial.
so any news? Plez If you'd like to have skin
It's been a year since he posted a screenshot. You'll just have to accept that it is a dead project.
Make sure you download the version 1.1 from moddb.com, the one on lucasfiles is version 1.0 :)

NEW YORK - Oct. 15, 2003 - At the BMC Software Forum in New York City, BMC Software, Inc. [NYSE: BMC], a leading provider of enterprise management, and Symantec Corp. [NASDAQ: SYMC], the world leader in Internet security, today announced that Symantec is BMC Software's Foundation Partner for Security as part of their Business Service Management (BSM) strategy. Through the alliance, the two companies are working to integrate the IT Service Management solutions from Remedy®, a BMC Software company, with Symantec Incident Manager. In the second phase of the integration, BMC Software and Symantec plan to integrate BMC Software's Service Impact Manager with Symantec Incident Manager and Symantec Enterprise Security Manager to further meet customers' security needs.
BMC Software's BSM strategy enables customers to change the way they do business- to begin managing IT from a business perspective. It allows customers to understand and predict the impact of technology changes on the business, and conversely, understand how changes in the business impact the IT infrastructure.
The Remedy IT Service Management suite automates service-related business processes and optimizes IT service and support by measuring IT effectiveness and prioritizing IT support activities based on customer relevant levels of service, instead of using IT component level metrics. Symantec Incident Manager correlates security events from disparate security products across protection technologies from many vendors, including antivirus, firewall and intrusion detection, to identify incidents in real time and coordinate response actions throughout the entire incident lifecycle.
"Symantec and BMC Software share the same goal of helping our customers manage the complexity of their security environment and maximize their IT infrastructure," said Gail Hamilton, executive vice president, Symantec. "Working together, Symantec and BMC will bridge security management and IT service desk organizations so that we can offer our customers unparalleled coordination in the remediation of security incidents."
Initially, the BMC Software and Symantec collaboration will provide seamless trouble-ticketing, remediation guidance and IT workflow management for security incidents, enabling customers to reduce risk and control costs by quickly identifying and responding to security incidents in a more targeted fashion.
"At UBS, it is our goal to get all of our events, including security, into our service monitoring platform," said Franz Blaser, head of IT Systems Management Engineering, UBS AG. "We like the idea that the BMC and Symantec solution is open to integration of security events from our homegrown security applications and that we can achieve real-time integration with our service desk."
Beyond the initial integration phase, BMC Software and Symantec plan to deliver a security-aware business services management solution through the integration of BMC Service Impact Manager and Symantec Incident Manager and Symantec Enterprise Security Manager. The solution will enable customers to understand how security risks impact the business and manage potential risk through proactive policies based on business services. It will also be designed to manage actual risk via real-time monitoring integration that combines IT resources, security incidents and business services.
"Partnering with Symantec allows us to enrich our own identity management security offering with Symantec's industry-leading solutions to offer our customers enterprise security management integrated into a broader service management solution," said Dan Barnea, senior vice president of Research and Development, BMC Software. "As our BSM Foundation partner for Security, Symantec enables us to deliver the comprehensive service management solutions focused on the security imperatives that our customers demand in today's enterprise environment."
About Business Service Management
Business Service Management (BSM) is BMC Software's approach for enabling companies to manage their IT infrastructure and services from a business perspective.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn humble-bragged about everything from the state's still murky pension reforms to not being Rod Blagojevich on Wednesday in his State of the State-de facto re-election campaign kick of speech.
Quinn outlined an ambitious to-do list: A new multibillion-dollar building program for the state, new "economic blueprint," a birth-to-5 years old early childhood initiative and, of course, a higher minimum wage.
"I said it last year, and I'll say it again. It's time to raise Illinois' minimum wage to at least $10 an hour," Quinn said.

Great for everyday use.Works on little rugs and hardwood floor .Worth for your money.Highly recommend it.
This little thing is about 5 yrs. old now and still picks up like it did new. I keep it clean around the moving parts and wash the filter & dirt cup regularly. It cleans up stuff that would clog others. This is an excellent buy for the money. I am amazed at how long it's lasted.
I bought this stick vac in the college dorm section at the store for $15. Best money ever spent! It is now about 5 1/2 years later and due to wear on the handle (yes, it has been dropped numerous times) we need to purchase a new one. I was in awe at how much this vacuum picked up cat hair and crumbs/dirt on both the bare floors and area rugs. It is also very good for using to vacuum the van and our carpeted steps in the home.
i'm so so happy with my purchase. there's not a better way to sweep as far as i'm concerned
This gave me a problem as soon as I used it the first time. I could not get the attachment off. I even called the company for help. She told me to stand on it and pull up hard and if it broke she would replace. I could not get it apart. Sooo, she had me drive at least 15 miles to a place that did repair work for them. There was a big guy at counter who waited on me. He tried and tried and was just saying it had to be sent back. At that moment the thing popped apart. He told me this could happen again so now I take it apart every time. Also this is not easy to take apart to empty either and very hard to get back together. ALSO...the cord is a pain. It is short and you have to keep taking it and moving it to another socket. Who gave it a high rating has could not of used it.
Needs to be empied each time and you should buy an extra replacement filter since the one you used once will need to be washed each time. Have fun!

35th Anniversary Of The Life And Legacy Of Elvis Presley Expected To Draw Record Numbers To Memphis
Ticket Presale for Elvis Week 2012 Begins Tuesday, October 11, 2011
A ticket pre-sale for basic and plus Elvis Insiders, the official affinity group for Elvis fans, will begin at 10:00 a.m. CDT on Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Tickets for the general public will go on sale at 10:00 a.m. CDT on Tuesday, October 25, 2011.
In recent years, the 20th, 25th and 30th anniversaries resulted in a dramatic increase in awareness and participation by the media, licensees and fans from all over the world. During the 30th Anniversary celebration in 2007, more than 75,000 attended Elvis Week events and toured Graceland during the seven day celebration in Memphis. In 2012, there will be even more ways than ever for fans from around the world to celebrate their love for the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
One of the largest events will take place on August 16, 2012 when the king returns to Memphis' largest concert venue, FedExForum, for a spectacular music event starring the real Elvis Presley via video, along with a cast of singers and musicians who worked with him in the past, a full orchestra, and additional singers and musicians. All music heard in the concert production is performed LIVE with the exception of Elvis' voice, which is made possible by utilizing archival concert performance footage that is played in tandem with the LIVE performers. The concert, titled Elvis 35th Anniversary Concert, will take place on August 16, 2012, and serves as a celebration of his music, life and lasting legacy.
Another event that has become a favorite among Elvis fans traveling to Memphis and those who make the birthplace of rock 'n' roll their home is the 2012 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest. Held on Friday, August 17, and Saturday, August 18, at The Cannon Center for the Performing Arts, the 2012 contest will see more Elvis tribute artists than ever before from all over the world compete for the $20,000 cash prize and the title of "The Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist."
New for Elvis Week 2012 will be an air-conditioned temporary pavilion, dubbed the 2012 Elvis Week Main Stage, installed right across the street from Graceland in which many of the concerts, dances and panel discussions will take place. Tom Brown, Vice President of Original Productions for Turner Classic Movies, will host the week of festivities at the Elvis Week Main Stage. The list of special guests currently scheduled for a panel discussion on Elvis in the Movies at The 2012 Elvis Week Main Stage include: Barbara Eden, Elvis' co-star in "Flaming Star"; Mary Ann Mobley, Elvis' co-star in "Harum Scarum" and "Girl Happy"; and Jan Shepard Boyle, who appeared with Elvis in both "King Creole" and "Paradise, Hawaiian Style." Other panel discussions will include: Dixie Locke Emmons, who met Elvis at church and dated him just as his career was taking off; June Juanico, who dated Elvis from 1955 to 1957; Larry Geller, Elvis' hairstylist and close friend; and Sam Thompson, Elvis' friend who worked as a personal bodyguard for him at home and on tour.
Concerts and dance parties at the 2012 Elvis Week Main Stage will be presented by Elvis' Imperials, The Memphis Boys, who were the legendary house band at the American Sound Studio, Andy Childs, Terry Mike Jeffrey, Jamie Aaron Kelley, Brad Birkedahl, John McClure and many others including some of the world's greatest Elvis tribute artists.
More special guests will be announced soon.

The best-selling atheistic manifestoes by Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens are now in the paperback phase of their remarkable cultural tour. Affordable editions of Dawkins's The God Delusion, Harris's The End of Faith (and Letter to a Christian Nation), and Hitchens's God Is Not Great will soon show up not only on beach blankets but also on college-course reading lists.
Do they merit the attention of college students? Perhaps their depictions of the poisonous effects of religious faith will remain instructive and entertaining. But beyond that do they have any lasting intellectual or religious significance?
Other readers will have their own responses. I have to confess my own disappointment at the popularity of these books. It's not that my own livelihood, that of a Catholic theologian, is in peril—although the authors in question might fervently wish that were the case. Nor is it that the new atheistic tracts consist mostly of breezy generalizations that would exasperate most scholars of religion.
Rather, it is that these celebrated works are so unchallenging theologically. Unlike the classical atheism of a Nietzsche, Feuerbach, Marx, Camus, Sartre, and even Freud—a body of criticism that still commands the attention of religious thinkers—the new atheistic provocations are as theologically limp as the...

Two experiments investigated the proclivity of 14-month-old infants (a) to altruistically help others toward individual goals, and (b) to cooperate toward a shared goal. The infants helped another person by handing over objects the other person was unsuccessfully reaching for, but did not help reliably in situations involving more complex goals. When a programmed adult partner interrupted a joint cooperative activity at specific moments, infants sometimes tried to reengage the adult, perhaps indicating that they understood the interdependency of actions toward a shared goal. However, as compared to 18- and 24-month-olds, their skills in behaviorally coordinating their actions with a social partner remained rudimentary. Results are integrated into a model of cooperative activities as they develop over the 2nd year of life.

I am pleased to send greetings to all participants at this International Conference on the Changing Nature of Conflicts in the 21st Century. I thank Al-Farabi Kazakh University for organizing this event in association with the United Nations Academic Impact.
I welcome your focus on the evolution of armed conflicts. This issue has direct bearing on the work of the United Nations. We are continually adapting our peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding machinery to better serve the needs of people in countries ravaged by, and recovering from, conflict.
At the same time, we are focusing on preventive diplomacy, mediation and the rule of law. These are essential to ease tensions, avert crises, promote justice and establish lasting stability.
The past few years have seen remarkably peaceful democratic transitions in some countries, but in others, hope and expectation have given way to fear and uncertainty. The United Nations stands firmly on the side of people who peacefully demand democracy, dignity, freedom and opportunity. Our challenge is to help resolve the conflicts that can arise in the throes of change, and pave the way for peaceful transitions based on full respect for human rights.
The academic community has long made significant contributions to our understanding of conflicts and our approach to resolving them. The United Nations Academic Impact, with more than 850 institutions of higher education in 115 countries, represents an extensive network of educators, researchers and students who can be a dynamic part of the academic community's contribution to our global agenda.
As a global leader in nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, Kazakhstan has sent a strong message to the world about the importance of acting for the greater global good. I hope this spirit will animate your discussions.
I wish you a productive conference and look forward to the results of your work.

A first look at projected standings for '09
• Red Sox edge Yankees by one game in East! (But Yankees cruise to wild card.)
• Indians only winning team in AL Central!
• A's only winning team in AL West!
• Mets top Phillies! (No, seriously this time.)
And in the National League West, the Manny-less Dodgers finish six games behind the first-place Diamondbacks.
Really, I don't see too much here that doesn't look right, except of course that projections are lousy at projecting outliers -- maybe that's why they're called outliers -- and I think it's exceptionally unlikely that neither the AL Central or West will feature even a single team with more than 84 wins.
Other projected standings will arrive, and most of them will be based on methodologies nearly as sound as those used by Baseball Prospectus. But this is a great place to start if you want to know who will win this season and why.

Do you ever really know your mother, your daughter, the people in your family? In this rich and rewarding new novel by the beloved bestselling author of
Talk Before Sleep and The Pull of the Moon, a reunion between two sisters and their mother reveals how the secrets and complexities of the past have shaped the lives of the women in a family.
Ginny Young is on a plane, en route to see her mother, whom she hasn't seen or spoken to for thirty-five years. She thinks back to the summer of 1958, when she and her sister, Sharla, were young girls. At that time, a series of dramatic events--beginning with the arrival of a mysterious and sensual next-door neighbor--divided the family, separating the sisters from their mother.Moving back and forth in time between the girl she once was and the woman she's become, Ginny at last confronts painful choices that occur in almost any woman's life, and learns surprising truths about the people she thought she knew best.
Emotional honesty and a true understanding of people and relationships are combined in this moving and deeply satisfying new book by the novelist who
"writes with humor and a big heart about resilience, love and hope. And the transcendence that redeems" (Andre Dubus).
"From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
Elizabeth Berg's work has won the NEBA Award for fiction and has been included twice on the ALA Best Books of the Year list. Her novel Open House was an Oprah's Book Club pick, and her writing has appeared in numerous publications, including Ladies' Home Journal, Redbook, and the New York Times Magazine. She lives outside Chicago, Illinois.
Praise For…
"Berg knows the hearts of her characters intimately, showing them with compassion, humor, and an illuminating generosity."
--The Seattle Times
--New York Newsday
"BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN . . . What We Keep is about ties that are buried but not broken, wounds that are dressed but never heal, and love that changes form but somehow survives. . . . [Ginny Young] crosses the country for a reluctant reunion with the mother she has not seen in 35 years. During the long hours of her flight, she returns in memory to the summer when she turned 12 and her family turned inside out. . . . Berg's tender depiction of a young girl's view of the world is uncanny and gives this story its heart. She captures perfectly what it was like to grow up in the '50s, presenting it like a long-forgotten, but still sharp photograph. . . . What We Keep will touch you. It will allow you, for a few hours, to see the world through the eyes of a 12-year-old and feel in your adult heart the stubborn endurance of love."
--USA Today
"BERG'S FIFTH NOVEL IS ONE OF HER MOST COMPELLING. . . . Berg limns the character with such vivid detail, and such honesty, that reading the book is like having an intimate conversation with a friend who is baring her soul. . . . An excellent book to savor and pass on to a mother, a sister, or a close friend."
--Charleston Post and Courier

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Police say the would-be robber of a southwest Oklahoma City pharmacy was a 16-year-old.
Sgt. Gary Knight says Antwun Parker was shot and killed about 5:40 p.m. Tuesday by 57-year-old store pharmacist Jerome Erslend.
Police say Parker was shot when he and another person walked into the store and at gunpoint demanded cash and drugs.
Instead Erslend picked up a gun and opened fire - killing Parker as the second person ran from the store.
Knight says the second suspect remains at large.

"Glory be to God for dappled things"...so begins Hopkins' sublime and thoughtful ode to the types of things most poets avoid — the imperfect, the strange, the ordinary. Where can we find God in those things about ourselves that we'd rather avoid? How can we learn to glorify those traits in others? Listen in as Lori and Alice contemplate these questions.

Platinum Egoiste
No particular reason, it just make me happy for whole day.:)
Boss no6 aka Boss Bottled
Love the smell but projection and longevity :thumbdown:
I bought Zino about $18 for 125ml at Strawberrynet daily specials and became my cheapest fragrance in my collection but the quality among the best.
Really sad it's discontinued.
Versace Dreamer
Dior Homme Intense
Cool Water
Boss no.6
Not recommend to blind buy at all. I've sampled IB, it's high quality juice but for that price? no, thanks.
Black Aoud
Best -Sycomore, Allure Homme
Worst -Haven't smelt yet.
Yes, I wear 2 sprays.
+1 Aventus is more expensive than GIT and MI, split from here I think is cheapest you can get. Aventus is great but for the price tag, I don't think I will purchase a full bottle.
still Pure Malt.
Dior Homme Sport
New Haarlem.
Bulgari Aqva -but to me smell more like a river.

Pure Havane
Chanel Sycomore
I've sampled this last week and I really LOVE it.

I think the juice has been exposed to air. My New Haarlem decant also has turned darker color than I first bought last year.
Ambre Sultan
L'Air du Desert Marocain
Black Aoud
Tried them all except for vintage Dior Homme. L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme is the best for me.
One of the safest to blind buy.
Very nice scent but not worth for my money.
get Chanel Allure Homme Sport.
Yes definitely, especially when I wearing a new fragrance.
Did not interest me at all.
Clinique skin supplies for men
L'Instant get my vote. get extreme version if you can.
+1. however, this never happen to me yet.
Boss Bottled. ADG also is a good choice. At your age now, don't think too much about uniqueness.
Razor more important. I usually don't really care what shaving cream I use.
Unscented. Unless you use deodorant same scent with your fragrance.
Always. Usually I wear heavy fragrances like A*men and DHI. Since I'm alone at home, there is no rules how to wear my fragrances. :D

Introduction:Lord of the Flies is a classic piece of literature that has been analyzed by hundreds, if not thousands, of scholars before you. Each one has brought a unique interpretation to the text, just as you will bring your own interpretation as well. Today, take a look at what some of these scholars have to say and see if their ideas fit the text as you've experienced it.
Task:Browse through the five available literary analyses of the novel. Look for one quote, passage, or idea that you strongly agree or strongly disagree with. Finally, craft a written, informal response to the idea that you read.
Process:1. First, browse through the five available literary analyses of the novel.
Note: You will need to be logged in to BigChalk and have the ProQuest Learning Literature Home Page open in another window in order to access #4 and #5. Go to
http://www.natomascharter.org , click on "Student Services," click on "Big Chalk," and use the login and password provided.
2. Look for ideas which you either strongly agree or disagree with.
3. When you have found one such idea, copy it down or paste it into Word.

CFI On Campus Student Updates!
Today, I decided that the readers at the CFI blog Freethinking needed an update on how the CFI On Campus affiliates are doing. You all work hard to organize and coordinate events, support groups, volunteering projects, and much, much more. I'm posting this information here, too, both as a thank-you to everyone for their hard work, and as inspiration for other students. I'm sure that I've missed some groups who have also put on awesome events this month. I'm sorry that I couldn't remember everyone, but if you'd like to update us on what you've been doing feel free to email us or add our email to your listserv/newsletter.
One Nation, Indivisible
I first learned of Doe v. Acton-Boxborough in early September after attending a meeting of the Greater Worcester Humanists. Dave Niose, president of the American Humanist Association (AHA), was in attendance at the meeting. When he spoke to the group, he mentioned that AHA was filing a lawsuit against the town of Acton over the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Afterwards, I told Mr. Niose that I was from Acton and inquired about the lawsuit. He gave me a brief overview of the case and the kind of arguments they were going to make in court. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised to find out that my town was going to be at the center of such a potentially historic case.
Music Monday: The Flaming Lips - "Do You Realize??"
It just so happens to be the day before Valentines day. So how about a love song for this week's Music Monday? Perhaps a song about loving reality and how that might affect how you love others? I can't think of a better song that fits this criteria other than The Flaming Lips' song "Do You Realize??"
What are your plans for 2012?
Hey everyone! So things have been as busy as ever for us at CFI Transnational over the last few weeks. You may have seen the new African Amhericans for Humanism website and campaign launch, including billboards and ads all over the United States. Plus, we're still doing last-minute registrations for students who want to attend the Moving Secularism Forward conference, all while helping to sponsor ReasonFest and Darwin Week! Whew! But there is one thing I don't want you to miss.
This Week's Good News
I don't know if anyone else is celebrating, but the last week or so has culminated into some pretty good news for the socially progressive crowd. In case you missed it, here is my account of the news.

Adaptations of Stereo Microphone Techniques for Surround Sound
The paper describes a technique that uses 2 channel stereo microphone techniques as the basis for surround sound microphone technique. The technique provides variable microphone polar patterns, multiple outputs for surround sound, as well as retaining conventional 2 channel stereo outputs. The method also extends creative possibilities for conventional multiple mono or multi-track techniques.

1. Cut lots of cool colored paper into the ATC size: 2.5″ x 3.5″. Students start by cutting a white 1.5″ x 4″ mailing label in half the long way, and apply to bottom of the card. The card is turned over and excess is trimmed.
2. A 1″ Avery mailing label sticker is used for the bottom circle. Two 3/4″ mailing labels stickers are used for the top two.
3. Students draw the snowman face arms and buttons with an Ultra Fine Point black Sharpie marker. They are encouraged to find a different pose for each card. The nose is colored with an orange marker and the hat is colored black.
4. Snow dots are added, if desired, with a white poster paint marker. Cards are kept in a 9 trading card plastic sleeve. Story telling would be another great use of this kind of layout. My students had some of their snowmen get progressively more melted, so clever!

GEARY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW)-- Officials say a man sustained very serious injuries after falling 3-4 stories in Geary County Monday morning.
The man was cleaning windows at Geary Community Hospital in Junction City when he fell to the ground.
The man was wearing a rope harness at the time of the accident, according to Geary County Sheriff Tony Wolf.
He was taken inside the hospital to be treated.
Further details had not been released Monday morning.

Read an Excerpt
He felt, as he turned the handle, that all things strange and wonderful lay behind the door. That by crossing the threshold, he would be leaving the familiar and true, begin marching down a road from which he would not return. So whimsical, and so unlike him, but he knew what he felt and it was uncomfortable, a faint prickling at the back of his neck that would not be ignored. Maybe it was the peremptory way he'd been summoned, but when he turned the brass handle, a thing he'd done a thousand times before, its carved impress seemed suddenly cold and oily beneath his palm.
The heavy, ornate mahogany door opened onto a blaze of sunlight that rendered him temporarily blind. He was used to that, too, and took a moment to adjusthis eyes. He knew she did it on purpose, set her massive antique desk just that way against a bank of windows, to impress people, to send the not-so-subtle message that her visitor was entering holy ground. Hence her refusal to hang venetians, shades, or even a curtain, not even on the sunniest day, and it could be very sunny in Los Angeles. Even the air-conditioned penthouse floor of the Keane Tower, where the publisher of the world's largest newspaper, the L.A. Connection, presided, was not immune to the solar glare. But Alexis Keane was a stubborn woman.
When his eyes adjusted, he crossed the few yards to the desk where she was huddled, his footsteps muffled by the thick Aubusson carpet that spanned the room. Dwarfed by the huge stack of newspapers that were delivered every day, from every part of the country that counted, Alexis Keane appeared to be so involved in her reading that she didn't hear him enter. She liked to say that although she might not read every line, no one could fault her for not being on top of the news. But that was her job, the only thing she lived for, and she did it well, as everyone knew.
The sun blazing in through her huge picture window created the effect of a halo to enhance her even more. At least, he assumed, that's what she hoped. If only Alexis knew, he thought, as he coughed lightly, it made her look small and gnomelike. But damned if he was going to tell her. There were many things he would not tell herhad not told herover the two decades they had worked together. And there were things she did not want him to tell her. There were moments when a person in her position needed to be able to say I didn't know, and he accommodated her.
Right now, though, the small, beady brown eyes he had tracked for twenty years suddenly seemed unfamiliar. They were wary when they had no reason to be. The world was quiet this morningno battles, no earthquakes, no mysterious outbreak of diseaseand everyone in the news business knew that sometimes no news really was good news, that sometimes it was all right for the newsroom to sit back and relax for a few hours. It wouldn't last. So he was surprised to detect the flash of worry on her face, fleeting and gone in an instant. But he was not mistaken. She paid him well not to make those sorts of mistakes.
Her greeting was curt, aimed at the chair he stood beside, rather than his face.
Lincoln Cameron sat, his legs hooked at the knees, his long body unsuited to even the largest leather conference chair.
His salute was brief. He waited quietly while she shifted the newspapers into various sundry piles.
"You need a shave," she said, taking note of his heavy beard.
Lincoln rubbed his cheeks with his big, bony hand. "Then I guess it's five O'clock," he said with a faint smile.
She was buying time. Fine. He'd seen her do it before, when the news was bad. But her voice, gravelly and low, seemed to factor newly to his ears. He'd heard rumorsand had treated them as such. The office grapevine was a phenomenon to be scrupulously ignored, but suddenly he wondered if there wasn't some truth to the rumors. Now he was sitting there observ-ing the sickly green hue of her skin, the sallow yellow tinge of her watery eyes as they avoided his, the simple fact that she did not rise to greet him when she was known for her impeccable manners. He watched as she shook her head, amused as she looked him over.
"Another custom-made Armani?"
Lincoln glanced down at his dark blue suit, then back at his boss. "Did you really call me in to discuss my sartorial splendor?"
"Well, thank goodness you didn't tell me I was looking well," she snorted.
"Is something wrong, then?"
Alexis seemed to find his question amusing. "I'm one of the richest women in the world, and one of the most powerful. What could possibly be wrong?"
Hearing the telltale thread of anger beneath her words, he opted not to answer, but a chill foreboding traveled up his spine.
"And you," she stabbed the air for emphasis with an exquisitely polished nail, "as my executive editor and one of the most powerful men in the newspaper industry, you would be the first to know, wouldn't you? I would hope so, in any case, since I'm the one who tutored you. Everything you are is because of me, isn't it, Lincoln? The White House reads every damned editorial you write, even the lousy ones, before we even go to press. And I damned well know you have the president's ear, since I myself gave him your private number."
Lincoln smiledthe deep lines carved along his gaunt cheeks told he was smilingbut his black eyes were cold. It was unusual for her to wave her flag. "I often wish you hadn't. That man calls me at the most ungodly hours."
Alexis smiled, knowing he was angry, and perversely pleased. "Puts pause to your private life, does he?" she chuckled, although Lincoln heard it transform into a cough.
"That I would not allow. But my sleep, now that is another matter. He is careless of such details," he replied with heavy irony.
"Perhaps, but enough of that. I called you in to talk about the rumors that are spreading." Alexis rose to her feet, or wished to, but unable to muster the strength, fell back in her chair. "The rumors are true. More than true."
Lincoln's black brow rose. "I don't listen to rumors. Why don't you tell me what I should know?"
"You don't listen to rumors?" Alexis mocked.
"Aren't they your bread and butter?"
"Where people are concerned, rarely. And where the running of the paper is concerned, I look to the primary source."
"Good of you, but you're in the minority these days. In any case, it seems that cancer makes no distinctions," she announced with a harsh laugh.
"It's true, then?"
"Those rumors you never abide?" she smiled unevenly as a sharp stab of pain underscored her words.
"Yes, well, they're true, all of them. All those wasted years exercising, eating all sorts of unspeakable green things, never smokingnot even breathing in secondhand smokeand mortality laughs in my face. Ironic, don't you think?"
"Mortality?" Lincoln frowned, wishing she would not parry the question.
"It's pretty evident that when your doctor avoidsyour eyes, the news isn't good. I had to force it from her. You don't seem surprised."
"You're wrong," Lincoln protested. "I'm shocked. I just don't know what to say. I'm not very good in this sort of situation but I'm sorry, Alexis, I really am."
"Lincoln Cameron, sorry? Now there's a rare moment," Alexis observed wryly. "Well, you may lose the pity, Mr. Cameron. I have no patience for that sort of thing."
Even at her most vulnerable, Alexis was insolent, but Lincoln simply nodded. "I'll do everything I can, of course. I'll go to Africa, in August, in your stead," he offered, stifling a sigh.
Alexis's laughter was dry. "Knowing how much you hate to travel, I appreciate the offer."
"A major drawback to this job."
"The only one?"
"I like to sleep in my own bed," Lincoln said with a shrug.
"Ah, yes, your nocturnal habits, again. Well, thanks, but I don't need you to go to take over my job, not just yet. What I do need is for you to run an errand of another sort that does mean giving up your fancy feather bed for a few days. Of course, it's up to you."
"Just tell me what you want, and it will be done."
"I'm glad to hear that," she said, giving him a long look. "It's about my sister, Valetta."
Lincoln sat up quickly. The mention of Valetta Keane was one of the few things that could touch him. "Vallie? Is something wrong?"
"Absolutely not," she reassured him. "On the contrary, I want her to come home."
An imperceptible sigh of relief escaped Lincoln."And of course you tried calling?" he asked, striving for detachment.
"Actually not."
For the first time in their conversation, Lincoln thought Alexis looked uncomfortable.
"Valetta won't return home without some very strong encouragement."
Lincoln's black brow was high. "Your illness isn't enough?"
"She doesn't know. Oh, stop looking at me like that! It's not the sort of thing you say over the phone, and we haven't spoken in over a year. What am I supposed to do, pick up the phone and say, Hi, Valetta, it's me, Alexis, I don't have long to live, can you come for dinner? Not to mention the fact that our last conversation wasn't too winning."
"A year is a long time. Why have you let it go for so long?"
"She thinks I'm too controlling. It's her favorite word for me. Many such angry words have passed between us since she left home, a great many nasty words."
"Before she ran away, you mean."
Alexis sank back in her chair. "You're right, of course. She did run away.A childish note left on her pillow, then out the window and down a ladder at three in the morning. Yes, I suppose that constitutes running away. The good part was that our aunt Phyla, my mother's sister, took her in. I don't think you ever met her, Phyla Imre. She lived in an obscure town called Longacre, in upstate New York. The bad part was Aunt Phyla died a few years later, but by then Valetta was" Alexis left off abruptly. "But you've heard all this before."
He most certainly had not, and she damn well knew it. Once, he had been a small part of the Keane family, attending the occasional Friday night supper, Christmas dinners and the like. The Keane parents having died tragically, he had tried to be a brother to the orphaned child, a pleasure, because, much younger than Alexis, Vallie Keane had been an adorable little girl. The devil of a teenager, though. Always mooning about, starstruck. Living on another planet, Lincoln used to tease. But grown to a great beauty.

Infrastructure Management with IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation
Managing today's complex computing environments is a time-consuming and costly effort for many technical and high performance computing (HPC) data centers. Adding to the challenge is the management of multiple clusters as data centers grow in size. Isolated clusters can create major inefficiencies in a technical computing environment and hinder the ability for organizations that require substantial compute and data processing capabilities to compete. IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation helps alleviate this complexity with tools for the self service creation and management of flexible clusters for a variety of workloads including Big Data and Analytics and traditional HPC.
Lifecycle management for scale-out environments
Complexity hinders competitiveness
Organizations that require increasing amounts of compute and data processing capabilities face challenges in maintaining complex, diverse HPC infrastructures with disparate hardware and software. These companies are looking for an easy-to-use, yet high performance cluster infrastructure management solution to efficiently deploy, manage, and in many cases, consolidate disparate cluster infrastructures and simplify the oversight and maintenance of running their IT environment.
Get the most out of your infrastructure
IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation includes everything you need to get clusters up and running quickly. For clients with diverse application and user requirements, IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation - Advanced Edition automates assembly of multiple high-performance technical computing environments on a shared compute infrastructure used by multiple teams. The software creates an agile environment for running both high performance computing and analytics workloads. By doing so, it allocates the right resources to the right workloads, consolidates disparate cluster infrastructures and multiple workload schedulers, resulting in increased resource utilization, the ability to meet or exceed service level agreements, and reduced infrastructure and management costs. Support for mixed computing environments enables organizations to manage both Linux IBM® POWER8™ (Little Endian) and x86 systems to meet demands for varied computing capacity. Flexibility in infrastructure management is further enhanced with support for provisioning of PowerNV nodes, as well as PowerKVM hypervisors.
For clients with a single HPC cluster deployment, IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation — Standard Edition delivers the capability to quickly provision, run, manage and monitor technical computing clusters with unprecedented ease and scalability. The latest release of IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation — Standard Edition offers new flexible monitoring capabilities for servers, chassis, network switches, IBM Spectrum Scale, GPU, co-processors, PowerKVM and IBM POWER8 energy metrics as well as customized devices. It also includes automatic fail over capability for the management node to ensure operational continuity.
Efficiency drives success
IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation enables administrators to create an agile and efficient infrastructure environment for running high performance computing and analytics workloads. With IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation, customers benefit from:
- Rapid deployment of HPC clusters.
- Enhanced user and administrator productivity.
- Meeting or exceeding service level agreements.
- Reduced infrastructure and management costs.
The products you need to get it done
- IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation - Advanced Edition optimizes compute-intensive environments with self-provisioning and management capabilities, enabling users to request a custom cluster, specifying size and type. The Advanced Edition also provides the ability to rapidly deploy clusters and grids on a shared pool of cloud resources, including a mix of technologies such as IBM Spectrum LSF®, IBM Spectrum Symphony, Hadoop and most other third-party workload managers.
- IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation - Standard Edition is easy-to-use, powerful cluster management software that improves the productivity of technical computing users by reducing the cluster management complexity. The software delivers a comprehensive set of cluster provisioning, monitoring and reporting capabilities. It automates the deployment of the operating system and software components, as well as complex activities such as provisioning and maintenance of a cluster.

How many CDs to take to hospital?
Comments (10)
I have heard 12-20 per DAY. so if you plan to be there 2 days you would need 24-40. More at home if you don't want to put the LO in sposies while you are washing the ones from the hospital.

i have got my diaper bag packed! I am due on Feb. 10th! I have packed premie prefolds, AIOs, fitteds, 4 xs PUL covers, and some wool. I dont know exactly how much of each but i believe i have a total of 24 diapers packed. I chose to take the premie prefolds bc they are less bulky. My first 2 were born around 7 pounds so i am expecting around there again. I have also heard that breastfeed babies dont go through as many diapers the first couple days until your milk comes in so if the prefolds dont fit, i think i will still have plenty back-up! Good luck with your new squish! I am also glad to see that the previous comments weren't people telling you to just use the sposies while in the hospital. I seem to see that with every post about what to bring.

@ dragonfly, good luck to u too! I'm due 2/5! I'm still working on my stash, so trying to figure this all out and be prepared!
Idk I breastfed both my babys and totally went through a pack of sposies a day with each! Maybe just because they are boys? Who knows.

I used prefolds from birth in the hospital and I was there for a few days with a repeat c-section....I don't exactly recall how many we used, but we went through quite a bit...definitely more than 10. I just brough A LOT so I didn't have to worry about it. Just pack them away in the closet and bring them out if you need them! I'm so glad we started from the beginning!

Global Phones and More
Technology columnist Walter S. Mossberg answers readers' questions
Q: My Motorola Android phone does not work outside of the U.S. Does the Samsung Galaxy have the same problem? Will the forthcoming Verizon iPhone work in Europe?
A: I combined two reader questions here, because they both touch on a common source of confusion. I presume that the Motorola Android phone that only works in the U.S. is sold by either Verizon or Sprint, because they use network technology that is primarily found in the U.S., and not, say, in Europe. Thus, phone makers like Motorola and Samsung tailor their Verizon and Sprint models to this U.S.-centric technology, called CDMA.
However, both Motorola and Samsung also make Android phones for AT&T and T-Mobile, which use a network technology called GSM that is standard in most of the rest of the world. These models should work outside of the U.S. There are a few "world phones" sold by Verizon and Sprint, which include both network technologies. For instance, Verizon sells two Android phones, the Droid Pro and the Droid 2 Global, which fall into that category.
As for the reported forthcoming Verizon iPhone, I don't know if it will be limited to CDMA, which would make it essentially a U.S.-only device, or whether it will also be compatible with GSM, which would make it a world phone.
Q: I live in South Africa, and want to buy the Samsung Tab to make my job easier, but to do that I must be able to work with Microsoft Excel documents. Editing and using dropdown boxes is essential. Can this be done?
A: The Tab, and other Android devices, can view and edit Excel documents using either a built-in mobile office suite (ThinkFree was pre-installed on the Tab I tested) or one you can obtain through the Android Market, like Quickoffice. You can also use online spreadsheet apps.
However, as with the same or similar apps for the iPad, these are limited compared to using Excel on a PC or Mac, and I cannot say whether they'd have the features and two-way document fidelity you personally might require. I didn't test editing Excel documents on the Tab.
Q: I am considering purchasing the iPad but have learned that it does not allow users to create folders in which documents can be stored. This would be incredibly useful for me for business purposes while I travel (i.e., separate client folders with client-specific documents in each). I have heard that Apple's new operating system upgrade might make this possible, but I haven't been able to confirm it. Do you happen to know whether that is the case?
A: The new folder feature coming to the iPad is meant for grouping apps, not documents. Apple's operating system for its mobile devices, called iOS, doesn't have a global document folder capability.
However, individual iPad apps, such as the very powerful GoodReader, do allow you to create folders that can hold all manner of documents, and you can name and organize these folders as you wish. But these folders are only accessible from within the app that creates them.
