Post subject: My Take on 8-1
As you can imagine, we sit on the top of the NFL power rankings. We are the best team in football. We are without one of our best players. We are capable of losing games. We are not invincible. But we are 8-1. This simple fact of our record is one that should be cherished by football fans all across the state of Texas. At the University of Houston I have seen a roughly 400% increase in the support of the Texans since my rookie year here in 2010. This is a time that many of us on this board called footballs future have been waiting for. We remember when we drafted Cushing and Barwin back to back in 2009. We remember when we drafted Kareem Jackson and Ben Tate back to back in 2010. We saw the Texans get slammed for taking Duane Brown out of Virginia Tech in 2008. Now we are here to claim our dominance.
A quiet, humble attitude goes a long way. As fans, we would benefit tremendously by adopting the ways of the teams greatest player, Andre Johnson, in our lives. Andre Johnson is an example for us all. Whether you have watched football for 65 years or this is your 6th year or your 6th month or 6th game of watching football. It really makes no difference. We are in this together. Andre Johnson has been the type of person, not just player, who you can hang your hat on at the end of the day. You know what you are going to get from him when he is healthy and out on a football field. He isn't going to demand the football, he isn't going to get upset when his stats are low, he isn't going to get angry when we run the ball on the goal line instead of throwing him fades, he isn't going to slack off when it comes to blocking for the run game. He cares about the team. We all should.
I'm not here telling you what you should think about 8-1 or how to live your life. I'm just saying, from where I'm sitting, this record is pretty sweet. And of course 8-1 doesn't earn you anything. It doesn't really earn you respect if you fizzle out the rest of the way. It doesn't earn you any pride if you are one and done in the playoffs. It doesn't make you feel good when you are watching some other team hold up the Lombardi trophy. You and I both know that what matters most for this team is to win the last game of the season. I think everyone can see that this team knows that. This team is focused on that. We still have a ways to go on this journey. But man, it never hurts to stop and smell the roses.

Funny, I would go another direction with that considering all way got in return for the humble AJ years was mediocre results. The way I see it, is that in a competitive team sport, you need friction and balance and until the quiet humility of Kubiak, AJ, Schaub, Foster, Myers and others was met with the ferocity of Watt, Antonio Smith, Manning, Cushing, and Barwin we were not going anywhere. BALANCE to me has become the key to everything we do including:
Offense/Defense: Jets, Chiefs, Jags, Cardinals veer too much one way and the Saints, Lions, Colts, Redskins the other. We can finally confidently win games both ways.
Veteran/Youth: Some teams let themselves get old like the Steelers and Chargers while others are perpetually young like the Rams or Browns. Texans are at that sweet spot with a roster sprinkled with 30+ leaders like AJ/Schaub/Myers and Smith/Manning with a young nucleus 24-28.
Draft / Free Agency: At a certain point teams need to recognize that perpetually building thru the draft will have them losing talent out the door every 4th year and never having enough to get over the hump because there are too many holes to fill (Bengals, Browns). Making strategic moves like we finally did for Joseph and Manning while retaining Schaub, Foster, Brown, Myers was the key. Other teams like the Eagles and Redskins are always looking for shortcuts and get burned.
Ego / Low Ego - The Jets and Cowboys are the obvious examples here of ego gone nuts, but far more teams lack any identity at all (Browns, Rams) or are led by a guy who shouldn't be leading (Panthers, Bills).
Stars / Depth - The Texans are deep enough to withstand a few critical injuries without imploding. Compare that to the Jets who were dead once Holmes and Revis went down, Cardinals without Wells/Kolb, or Washington losing Orakpo/Carriker. The Ravens, Packers, Giants may recoil a bit with injury but eventually recover. We are likely to again see the Bears lack of offensive depth result in a late season swoon.
Run / Throw - The Texans are one of the few teams around that can still beat you both ways. You are even seeing the Patriots and Saints bringing back the running game and Packers will this offseason. Meanwhile, teams like the 49ers, Seahawks, Chiefs, Bills and Browns that can't effectively throw will always be limited. There hasn't been a run & defense oriented Super Bowl Champ since the Ravens in 01 and I don't see the Bears or 49ers changing that trend this year.
Pass Rush / Run Stopping / Pass Protection - Texans were imbalanced in back with this forever until JJoe and Manning got here to shore things up and Kareem matured. The Eagles and Bills both think you can exist without tackling, being able to stop the run, or need your secondary to do more than try to make flashy interceptions. I still think the Falcons inability to run or stop the run will ultimately be their undoing. New England still can't stop the pass and the Giants secondary is a much bigger problem than Eli Manning's arm right now.
New Coach / Old Coach - this is where I think the Texans finally got the best of both worlds. I don't think Tomlin transitions to the leader he became without the stability of LeBeau or he's just Raheem Morris. McCarthy didn't get to where he is without Capers. Payton needed Williams. Kubiak may have plenty to offer, but there is no substitute for the steady calm of Wade Phillips who has seen it all. Phillips doesn't work at the top of the food chain because his offenses are stale and his mellow player friendly tone get's taken advantage of. Again, this is where a old guard guy like Rex Ryan needs someone from the new guard rather than another old school guy like Schottenhiemer or Sporano. Think Norv Turner needed to bring in better energy than Hal Hunter to shake up a backsliding offense? Pairing an attitude guy like Schiano with a young creative OC like Sullivan seams to be working in Tampa. Pairing Sherman and Tannehill was a smart move in Miami that will jump start them faster than Weeden, but Philbin seems a bit redundant especially with his Sherman-esque old fart demeanor that needs a Kevin Sumlin type energy.

Great write ups both of yall.
While 8-1 feels great, you're right Jargin that it gets us nothing. We have out flaws, at MLB and the right side of the OL, but every team has flaws this year.

Q: I'm fairly new in the concrete business and I know that a mix's water-cement ratio affects how well the concrete turns out. But why should I also care about something called "aggregate moisture," and what is it?
A: This is an important question because admixture dosage, workability, strength, air, and durability all depend on the mix having the right water content, which also requires adjusting batch water for aggregate moisture. Moisture adjustment is becoming important with the growing use of workability-controlling admixtures and the increased use of specialty concrete such as self-consolidating (SCC) and pervious concrete. But first, here is some background.
When aggregates are "wet," it means that water is on the surface of the particles, and this "aggregate-free water" becomes part of the total batch water as soon as the aggregate goes into the mixer. For a "dry" aggregate, some of the batch water will be absorbed into the pores of the aggregate during mixing and transport.
Concrete producers will add extra batch water to account for dry aggregates, and hold back on batch water to compensate for wet aggregates. The amount of the adjustment depends on aggregate porosity, moisture condition, and batch weights. It is not unusual for the amount of adjustment to be in the range of one to three gallons of water per yard, or 10 to 30 gallons in a 10-yard load.
That adjustment can increase or decrease slump by as much as 1 to 3 inches. If batch water is not held back for wet aggregates, the mix can arrive at the jobsite at a slump 3 inches higher than expected. The reverse can happen if water is not added to compensate for dry aggregates.
Even though a mix that is too dry can be made workable with normal, mid-range, or high-range water reducers, the required dosage is highly sensitive to water content. When superplasticizers are used, it is common to batch the mix for a predetermined slump based on water alone (water-slump). Corrections for aggregate moisture are necessary or the preplasticized slump can be way off target, leading to a mix that is far too fluid or so dry, that a very high dose of superplasticizer is needed.
In addition to influencing concrete's workability, moisture adjustments also affect concrete strength. For a six-sack mix (six sacks x 94 pounds of cement per sack, per cubic yard) an additional gallon of water can reduce the 28-day cylinder strength by about 130 psi.
It does not matter if the water was added intentionally or as a result of an uncompensated increase in aggregate moisture content. If a typical water adjustment is in the range of one to three gallons per yard, that alone can account for a 100 to 400 psi strength variation.
So, who makes this correction? Fortunately, the aggregate moisture correction is routinely applied by the producer at the time of batching, estimating the moisture condition of the aggregates and changing to the batch weights as required.
The calculations usually are done automatically in the batching computer based on input values for aggregate moisture and absorption. Aggregate moisture data and the number of pounds or gallons of adjusted water usually are printed on the batch ticket.
Taking responsibility
It is the contractor's responsibility to make his requirements for concrete properties and uniformity clear to you, the concrete producer. He should find out how sensitive his mix is to changes in water content. If the producer's submittal packet includes a "three-point-curve," this can be an ideal tool for showing how strength varies with water content in the specific mix. A contractor might also conduct some field trials with carefully monitored added water to find out how slump or admixture doses vary with water.
Early in the job, it is ideal if the contractor spends some time with the producer and walks through a typical batch ticket, item by item, to find out exactly what the moisture numbers mean, how they are measured, and how the corrections are made.
At this time, the contractor can learn how the aggregates are processed. Are they presoaked? Are they stored undercover? Are they replenished from the quarry as fast as the concrete is shipped? If the contractor is familiar with the process, you and he will be better-prepared, and the contractor will become a more educated customer.

There's a big difference between varsity and junior varsity.
Forced to play up a notch because of player suspensions, the Chiefland High JVs are speeding up a sharp learning curve.
Playing their second game as varsity Tuesday night, Jan. 15, the little Indians fell behind host Trenton by a bunch early but then rebounded to play a respectable brand of ball in the second half.
Coach Mark Lundy had to be pleased with the boys'progress in a 57-28 setback.
Trenton improved its record to 7-11. Chiefland fell to 7-12.

My therapy approach is well suited to anger management because all emotions begin with our thoughts. I will guide you to exprience your own insights about the nature of thought and how your thinking contributes to your expeience of frustration which ultimately leads to anger. I also provide a variety of resources for you so that you feel supported while you go through the process.
David Russell, Ph.D.

On a scale of 0-10 when you are at a 4, 5 or 6 you are angry, when you are at an 8, 9 or 10 you are in a rage. Rage occurs when one upsetting event piles onto another and another, and you never have time to fully heal from any of them. Rage comes up quicker, builds stronger and lasts longer; you say and do things that you would never imagine at any other time. You see red and don't care about your reputation, the future, the consequences or what effect it is having on your family or career. We focus on helping you to fully resolve your rage at it's root so that you can start having just normal anger - that gets your point across but doesn't do damage - like everybody else.

• cupidity •
Pronunciation: kyu-pi-dê-tee or -ti
Part of Speech: Mass noun (no plural)
Meaning: Excessive avarice or strong greed for something, especially for wealth.
Notes: How could there be a connection between unbridled greed and that sweet, chubby baby with angelic wings we associate with St. Valentine's Day and love? I guess you will have to wait for the history to find out but it seems highly unlikely, doesn't it? You have your choice of adjectives, cupidous or cupidinous, though the former has also been used with a slightly lusty sense of "amorous". Both are rare.
In Play: Here is an alternative to avarice and greed that loves to play: "The careless mixture of cupidity and stupidity have spelt disaster for many a visitor to Las Vegas and its maiden aunt, Wall Street." Don't miss the rhyming possibilities of the front ends of these words: "Men are brought to that oh-so wealthy Portia Radclyffe less often by Cupid than by cupidity."
Word History: Today's good word glided into our vocabulary through French from Latin cupidus "desirous, wishing for," an adjective from the verb cupere "to desire." It is easy to see how it could come to indicate the rather lustful desire epitomized by Cupid, the Latin god identified with Greek Eros. Indeed, the chubby little angel misrepresents Cupid by quite a bit. The original PIE root was *kuep- "boil, surge". In Sanskrit it emerged as kopayati "s/he gets angry" and, in Lithuanian, kvepuoti "to breathe heavily". Latvian kupet "smoke" is a member of this family, as is Russian kipet' "to boil". The central meaning is boiling up and surging, actions which, when they occur in the human spirit, often result in passions and desires.

John John Florence On Rehab And Darkrooms
After injuring his ankle in February during an ill-fated air attempt during a Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast expression session, 2nd year ASP World Tour surfer John John Florence has been out of the water and rehabbing his ankle. For a guy who lives and breathes to surf, being dry-docked is an absolute nightmare. We caught up with Mr. Florence from his house on the North Shore of Oahu to check in on him, make sure he's okay, and not totally losing his marbles.—Justin Coté
TransWorld SURF: Good morning!
John John Florence: Good morning Mr. Office Guy.
Are you in an office as well? How's your office today?
It's great, really nice. I have coffee and all.
Wonderful. Did your mom make it for you?
No, I made it but she told me it was too bitter.
Let's get down to business here.
What's this interview about?
This interview is about your ankle. And there will be some other things, it's not going to be all Debbie downer stuff, it's going to be good.
So, first things first. How is the ankle coming along? Everyone wants to know…
It's coming along really well and healing pretty fast. I've seriously been getting therapy on it every day.
Where do you do that?
I've been working with this guy Mark Kazuki from California. He's helping Freddy [Patacchia] too and came over here to work with us. So yeah, I've been going back and forth between here and California and trying to not watch perfect Pipeline in April.
Don't look to the left and you'll be fine [John lives within a stones throw from the Banzai].
Yeah, it hasn't been easy.
So have you been in hyperbaric chambers and all that futuristic stuff?
Yeah there's one here on the North Shore and I've been there a few times. I guess it works, but I'm trying everything—I'm so anxious to get back in the water.
What was harder for you to watch; perfect Pipeline in April or the Bells WCT event?
I was in California for the beginning of April when we got those swells, but I was talking to Koa Rothman who broke his collarbone snowboarding and he said watching Pipe on those days from my house was the worst thing ever. That wasn't too bad until I got home and saw my brother Nathan's waves on video—then I got jealous. As far as Bells, that was pretty hard to watch too because the waves were really good. It seemed like I couldn't get away from watching it.
Speaking of the ASP World Tour, are you going to be able to go to Brazil and defend your Billabong Pro Rio title?
Umm, hopefully. I really want to, and that's my goal right now.

Bainwol was the first person in the world to discover that downloading even just one file from the internet would instantly bankrupt the entire music industry. Here is the essay he wrote that he used to prove this:
Joe McCarthy's Mitch Bainwol's proof that files are communism
Joe McCarthy Mitch Bainwol
When a user downloads a file, he is downloading a copy of something from the real world, such as a song from the real world, a picture from the real world, or a computer program from the real world. That song, picture, or computer program has a value in real money. When you put a picture of the Mona Lisa in your cache, you copied 680 million dollars worth of money into your computer. This causes inflation and makes the dollar and any other currency worthless. Therefore we have to go a form of government that doesn't use money, like communism."
Everyone agrees that this makes sense, so nobody will ever download any file, ever.
However, that only includes people. Some evil communist terrorists who aren't even really people so much as devils sent by Satan to ruin life for everyone, decided to download some files. The value of money was temporarily worthless, but fortunately there wasn't a panic because everyone was asleep at the time. Everyone except Mitch Bainwol that is, who sued the communist terrorist devils and won an infinite trillion dollars, which he burned, causing money to be worth money again. For this he won a congressional medal of honor which made him a national hero in every country except hell, where the communist terrorist devils hate him and plot to secretly make the western world communist when he isn't looking.

SPRINGHILL - TSN's Kraft Celebration Tour has named it's top ten finalists and Springhill scored big.
The community learned Canada Day evening it is one of ten communities guaranteed $25,000 and now contending for the $100,000 grand prize.
The community gathered at the Legion for the 7 p.m. airing on TSN of the winners and as the screen moved from British Columbia to Atlantic Canada, the crowd grew quiet, only to shatter the silence with thunderous applause and yells of celebration.
The money won so far, Springhill Leisure Services' Scott Munro said, is earmarked towards correcting the drainage at the Lions Park's ball fields, but there's a bigger vision in play, courtesy of Mark Joseph who approached Leisure Services about entering the community into the contest.
"The goal is, if we get the $100,000, to resurface the skatepark and turn into into a multi-pourpose outdoor facility for things like skateboarding and basketball in the summer, and an outdoor rink with the boards in the winter," Munro said.
Now that the qualifiers have been announced, the community will prepare for the online voting, which runs July 21-22. The Kraft Celebration Tour will travel to each of the 10 winning communities to award them with $25,000 and host a live TSN SportsCentre broadcast. A date has yet to be announced for Springhill.

Discussion in 'Non Commercial Collaboration' started by Torsh, Apr 26, 2012.
I need:
Character Artists
I will do:
programming, texture art storyline.
PM me for the storyline.
You should post a basic concept here. You will more than likely get a lot more people this way.
lol. can we have more information?
You should be more tolerant of people's religions or don't post at all.
It would be nice to show more respect to other people's ideas / works and even more to any religion.
It did not look very good from your part.
Please keep your insulting comments to yourself. There is no reason to bash anyones religious beliefs no matter what they believe in. Be more tolerant. Thanks.
As a Christian, I see comments like that all the time. They are a bit tiresome, and really unnecessary.
All I will say is religion is a very touchy subject so be careful how you go about implementing it. Be aware also that by choosing one over the other you are probably cutting out other big market chunks. I assume you have a target market though, and I could see how some of the things in the bible could be interesting in a game, although how you would make them into a game im unsure of.
it might be easier to market it if you research what religions, orthodox or otherwise, have in common and use that instead of limiting your audience.
Sorry I was just trolling. I don't judge people for their religous beliefs or anything. I do have a right to my own opinion as well.
I didn't mean to offend anyone, was just speaking my mind. I do have that right but in any case I do apologize and didn't mean any harm by it.
Actually, no, you don't have that right. This is not a "free country", its the Unity forums. Of course you're entitled to have your opinion, but no one was asking for it. Either way, its said and done.
As to the game, the religious gaming market is a tough one, and historically hasn't been able to support any kind of game. There was actually an RTS several years ago (I think based on the Left Behind books), which looked pretty cool. Unfortunately, no matter how cool its features were, there just weren't enough players to justify or support it.
Good luck though.
Wrong. Unity is on the internet not in a country. Therefor they make their own rules.
Nope. Around here we are quite the dictatorship. But seriously, yeah, you can't just say whatever you want here, sorry. Unity Technologies owns these forums and they set the rules. No trolling please.
I would actually really like to hear the story of the game -- I have never encountered a game that would be based around a religion, wonder what a story like that would look like?
Actually their is a lot of christian game :
thair is even a AVGN video about them :
But the world seems to be still waiting for a good christian game.
Jesus on a velociraptor ? It's a stupid idea because dinosaurs never existed in the bible, it's not canon. Still Jesus can ride a Leviathan, a Belemoth or Tanniyn -_- (Which could be awsome !). He could also ride a snake with legs but it would be less awsome.
By the way I would like to hear the pitch of this game
And there's that line between religious and blasphemous.
Personally, I'm a far cry from religious, but I'm fairly certain that if you were to make a "jesus is a badass" game, you'd be actively shutting down your already small market.
I also never said there weren't any christian games. I, in fact, mentioned one. However, the mass market has never heard of any of the titles on that list.
edit:yls beat me to it...
According to the Bible, Jesus suggest that he will return. As a badass. To do some serious smiting.
The Bible is chock full of violence. I don't see why a game couldn't be made based on it. Whether it would be fun and attract a large audience would depends on what the premise of the game is.
Religion in video games is not a touchy subject as many AAA games have some sort of religion practice that thrust the main story onwards with the main character. Doing a Christian game would be interesting, but I would suggest a game that would question a believer's belief in the religion and his belief in Jesus Christ. I like the idea, and would like to see this happen. I may have some ideas on the concept so I may be of help, anywho good luck to you, or in Christian terms, God bless you.
So the game is set in medieval-contemporary times and involves collecting. I created a prototype in 2D that wasn't Christian.
Also, the game has hopes of being commercial.
I don't think a game where Jesus or any aspect of God were used would do well. However...
Angels (especially mighty, smitey ones like Michael) are always awesome. A blazing sword of light (eat your heart out Darth Vader), the power of flight...heck, sounds good to me.
Sadly, it's become popular to put some tired spin on it...like...God is a meanie and you are rebelling (old and tired. Didn't that cause the whole garden of eden mess?). Or you have fallen in love with a human, and God will smite her when she hops on a bicycle, closes her eyes, and get flattened by a log truck...zzzzzz.
Just being an upstanding angel fighting for your God isn't passe enough anymore I guess
My game hopefully curbs some of these problems. It may introduce new ones, but it curbs some of them.
Funny, the thought popped in my head..."Sheep". It would be like lemmings, but you have to influence people from certain things (drugs, violence, etc). Depending on certain factors (their age perhaps, wealth, etc) they have a certain mass. Depending on their mass, they are easier or harder to influence. Depending on their age, wealth, etc, they are attracted to various things. If you don't put up good influences to alter their path, they suffer from exposure to those negative influences.
Blaming you all the while, of course
I think it's safe to say that you flesh out your GDD how your game would play out before trying to get another round of smiting by the regular trolls or get your thread locked here.
If it's a non-violent, peaceful religious game, then I see no problem in having this game made, but if there is to be violence involved, it will be like finding a hay in a stackful of needles with your bare hands.
That's really not true.
To play devil's advocate: I think it's acceptable to have a game based on violence and war and religion. This is historic (the crusades, jerusalem) and so on.
You can also portray a corrupt church in a game - assassin's creed for example. None of this is offensive to religion because it isn't attacking jesus or god, or Quran and so on.. It is portraying religion in the story being corrupted or twisted by individuals, rather than making a mockery of it.
Making a mockery of religion is the thing to avoid, or trying to make it bad. All you have to do is be non-judgemental to the ACTUAL faith. You can portray a twisted bishop as much as you like in games and literature: you're not stepping on anyone's toes.
Understanding the distinction is the mark of an intelligent person.
You're absolutely right, hippo!
Personally...if it were me, I'd avoid the whole "church turned evil" thing, or evil bishop/leader, whatever. It's been
And very unoriginal.
I can't hardly watch a movie or read pretty much any kind of book where the bad guy isn't 1) "the church", or 2) isn't backed by "the church". I guess when using the Russians or Chinese gets too old (or we realize we are buying everything they make), we can always fall back (and usually do) on "the church".
It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so darn overdone. I JUST read a book...think it was by Niven, but maybe not. These colonists crash on a distant helix/world (not ringworld). They find alien creatures. Struggle ensues...the alien's "the church" must destroy the colonists, because they aren't prophesied about.
No offense but every christian game I've played has been horrible, It would be hard getting people to take this seriously.
I'd be keen to see a Christian game done right. One that appeals both to christians and non christians, without being too preachy, without being moralistic, and without being condemning or condescending or patronising.
I personally don't believe it can be done, because most Christian games have an agenda. Whether it's trying to convert people, or trying to instill "christian" values in christians, the game mechanics end up being given second place to its agenda, and results in a not fun game.
A point and click adventure game, perhaps based on the missionary journeys of Paul, might be worthwhile attempting. Paul had plenty of excitement in his life (shipwrecks, bear fights, imprisonment, miraculous visions) etc, that it would make an interesting point and click adventure game. Would it appeal to non-Christians? I don't know, maybe.
Like I said, I don't think a christian computer/video game can be done right. Either you distill the message so much that it doesn't really qualify as Christian, or the gameplay negates the message.
I've set this project aside in place of Charcoal Rock.
I know, I just felt like adding my 2c

Newberry, S.C. - Derek Ham went two for four with two RBI and the Tornados scored three runs in the ninth inning but the Brevard College baseball team fell to Newberry College 11-4 Friday night in game one of a three game South Atlantic Conference series at the Smith Road Complex.
Ronald Patterson broke up Newberry starter Chris Roman's no-hit bid with a single in the top of the fifth. The Tornados (8-32, 2-20) scored their first run of the game when Ham singled to right field to plate Vance Crook in the seventh inning.
Patterson reached base after a dropped third strike with two out in the ninth inning to extend the game. After a Brett Brinson walk Ham hit a single through the right side to score Patterson. Eric Renegar added a two-run double to bring home Ham and Brinson.
Newberry 14-30 (2-20) scored at least once in each of the first three innings. Terrence Gray and Andy Vogel hit consecutive doubles in the top of the first and were brought home on a three run home run from Jovan Rohena. Jim Pollack hit a two-run homer in the third and Sanchez Gartman hit a two-run homer in the sixth.
Roman pitched a complete game, allowing four runs, one earned, on five hits while striking out fifteen and walking five to record his third win of the season. Shane Galloway pitched five and two thirds innings and took the loss for Brevard.
The teams will play a doubleheader Saturday, with first pitch of game one scheduled for 2 p.m.

this was way harder than it should have been
Has anyone here used KDevelop before? is it possible to get it to do what Visual Studio does when a segfault happens?
Did you make the particles yourself?
Sweet. Now I can work on getting a menu to display properly and not have my graphics flicker on and off in the emulator.
~fuck yeah~
looks like they did a batch of apps at the same time
Found this in the part of Mari0's source code that gives you coins when you hit blocks
--7 coins; 7 sins. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.
I now need to choose between working on my game and try out Unity...
Decided to take a break from garrysmod lua to get more into iOS and objective-c.
It's a start
I made that poison mushroom say things randomly
Only after making it I realized I had made the Mario equivalent of a personality core
I think I need to make a video to emphasize how funny this is
Oh look I made my first thing that isn't shit
I don't see how you guys can be having such a hard time finding resources for learning Unity. There's so much documentation it's not even funny
There's a ton of demo projects and tutorials on their site which you can go through, not to mention the Unity Answers site which is useful as all hell, and the massive amounts of documentation with examples on everything. If you're trying out Android and iOS development, goto the market or App store and get the Unity Remote too, it lets you send touch data straight from the device when you go into play mode without having to compile it every time. (You have to install it, open it, and then open Unity for it to connect on Android)
Demo Projects
Other Resources
Making some sort of cell mutation thing.
haha fuck you java I'm never coming back
Working on a syntax highlighter for Lua - in Lua.
For the ones not seeing it; you can only jump 2 blocks high, but the platforms "teleport" you up one block.
Update for my roguelike
added enemies ( sexy sprites, right? )
I should get a prize for that almost tiling background I made in paint.
Mushroom Kingdom has a lot of suns.
Time to revamp the collisions system... Again... Does anyone have a scheme or something about it?
I hope you manage to do something like that, you deserve money for your work.
Well, good thing I wasn't playing music at 100% vol
Because parallax scrolling makes anything sexy.
Not sure how I should handle the speed.
Currently I just divide the scrolling by the layer, so the first layer is xscroll/2, then xscroll/3.
Anyone got a better idea?
Weekend so I'm gonna have a rest from Secret Game and GMod and work on the Gwen Designer
Off to play about with Wireshark and Steam, Source refuses to reply to my A2S_INFO requests so I'm going to see how Steam does it
Supplying a linear function for each parallax layer should make things like that possible (not easy, but possible). FinalOffset = Multiplier * XScroll + InitialOffset

Arsene Wenger hoping to start 2013 with a bang at St Mary's
Arsene Wenger hopes 2013 will be the year Arsenal confirm all the promise he believes they have, starting at St Mary's.
Last Updated: 02/01/13 7:26am
The Gunners head to St Mary's on the back of an astonishing 7-3 win over Newcastle, their fourth straight win in the league.
Wenger told the club's website: "My hopes (for the new year) are that the win (over Newcastle) will give even more confidence, desire and ambition to our team, and that 2013 will confirm we are a great team."
Theo Walcott scored a superb hat-trick against Newcastle and is relishing a chance to shine in his preferred central attacking role, and he is likely to be in the same position against Saints.
Despite the England international, 23, having yet to agree terms on a new contract with the Gunners, Wenger is glad to see Walcott enjoying his football.
"I have worked with Theo for seven years and the fact that he had an exceptional game against Newcastle will not influence me more or less - if he had played a disastrous game, I would still have wanted him to sign with the same intensity," Wenger said.
"It is good that he gets rewarded for his effort and for me that is more important. I like the fact Theo can play through the middle because it gives us more opportunities to do that and more possibilities to change from game to game. I will do it again," Wenger added.
Arsenal hammered Southampton 6-1 at the Emirates early in the season, but Wenger does not expect a repeat on Tuesday.
"They are not comfortable (opponents), Southampton. I saw them against Fulham, and they played very well against Stoke," Wenger said.
"Southampton are a team that has learned in the Premier League now. Usually you find in February or in January a different team to what you see in August or September."

6.0 Quake Jolts San Francisco
Get the latest news from KFBK on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – California Gov. Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency after a magnitude 6.0 earthquake rolled through the San Francisco area early today, reports the LA Times, in the biggest temblor to hit the region since 1989. It was initially reported at 6.0, and later revised upward.
The California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate division tweeted that it's checking bridges and other structures for "obvious signs of structural integrity;" it later said that preliminary reports "are looking positive," while noting widespread power outages.
PHOTOS: Earthquake Rattles Napa Valley
It was "just a rolling sensation," one witness tells the San Francisco Chronicle. "It felt like I was on a boat in the bay." At least 70 people have been sent to the hospital, adds the LA Times; three of them are in critical condition.
The quake struck at 3:20 local time, with an epicenter three miles northwest of American Canyon in Napa. It was relatively shallow, with a depth of 6.7 miles; a series of aftershocks have since rattled the area.

I think this sounds great for that!ReplyDelete
Really delicious. Made it tonight for dinner and it is a hit!ReplyDelete
Cindy, thanks for reporting back. So glad you enjoyed it!ReplyDelete
My only suggestion on this recipe wuld be to maybe double the amt of the ingredients in the liquid. Had some leftovers yesterday and all of the sauce was absorbed by the chicken so it was a little dry . . . but you could always add some crushed pineapple to it the next day.ReplyDelete
Cindy, thanks for sharing that!ReplyDelete

Fix a stuck power antenna
If your power radio antenna won't go up and down anymore, the problem is either a burned-out motor or the geared cable inside the mast. Both are easy DIY fixes. You can do the entire repair in about two hours. The parts run about $25 for a new cable/mast, plus the cost of the special wrench. Or, pick up a complete junkyard unit for about $75 (that's half the price of a new antenna).
First, make sure the motor works. Have a friend turn on the radio and listen for motor noise coming from the antenna area. If it makes noise, it's a candidate for repair. If not, you'll have to replace it using the steps we show. Next, order a replacement mast kit from antennamastsrus.com. The kit includes a new geared nylon cable connected to new antenna sections. You'll also need a special wrench to remove the bezel nut (Photo 1A). DON'T use pliers; you'll scratch the bezel and the paint. Check an auto parts store for one or order the Steck No. STC21600 (about $18) from amazon.com.
Unscrew the bezel (Photo 1) and remove the antenna retaining bolts. If your antenna is mounted inside the front fender, remove the wheel-well liner by pulling out the plastic rivets and push-in retainers.
Next disconnect the power and coaxial cable connectors and remove the entire unit from the vehicle (Photo 2). If your antenna doesn't have a removable coaxial connector, disconnect the power connectors and perform the mast replacement while the unit is still connected to the coaxial cable.
Remove the cover screws from the antenna. Then lift the cover and note the location of the gears, cable spool, washers and idler roller before you remove them. Next, remove old mast (Photo 1). Thread the nylon cable and mast into the spool and reinsert the gears and rollers (Photo 3). Spray all the moving parts with lithium grease. Reinstall the cover, then plug in the antenna and reinstall it in the fender or trunk.

Today's outfit is 110% inspired by my bestie {I know you're reading this Jazy!}. It also happens to feature my birthday dress that I just ordered..yey me! That's right, I order my own gifts. I prefer to eliminate the element of surprise and therefore the potential for disappointment by gifting myself with EXACTLY what I want. And when Jazy styled this fabulous dress with a chic ribbon belt and gorgeous shoes, I had to have it too….lucky for us we are on different coasts, therefore drastically minimizing the risk that we might accidentally wear the same outfit! ooops!
Hope you're all having a fabulous Friday and have an even more fabulous weekend!

Guest book review by Peter J Wolf
There are, it seems to me, two approaches to writing a good adventure story. A writer can either draw the reader anxiously along toward an uncertain ending, or disclose the outcome up front and let the reader settle into the adventure itself. I don't imagine either approach is easy, but the writer who gives away the ending, does, I think, take on some particularly daunting challenges. To do it well—to produce a page-turner—as Allan Goldstein has done with The Confessions of a Catnip Junkie, is therefore commendable.
Catnip Junkie is the story of two-year-old Doo Doo, a restless orange tabby whose curiosity takes him coast-to-coast and back again, told from the perspective of an older, much wiser cat. "I am two cats," he says. "The Doo Doo who was born of this story and the Doo Doo who lived it, fourteen years ago."
Perhaps it's this dual role that makes Doo Doo such a charismatic narrator, his confessions so compelling. Speaking of which, I have a confession of my own: I was a little hesitant to delve into Catnip Junkie. Four-hundred pages of cat-speak? Really? (Confession #2: I do talk to my cats, and more often than not reply—a different voice for each of them—on their behalf. Still, I do my best to spare others.) Once I picked it up, though, I found the book difficult to put down—due, in no small part, to the numerous scrapes recounted by a feline protagonist once "full of lust, mostly wanderlust."
"I have dreams of that used-to-be-me cat being trapped all the time. He was always plotting an escape, making an escape, escaping. I wonder, how could a cat get himself stuck so often? Fourteen years later that is still a marvel to me, even more than his whiskersbreadth escapes. He still brags about those, the cat-who-used-to-be-me thought he was pretty slick. He was, but he was also an idiot. I can see that now, but he couldn't."
But Catnip Junkie is surprisingly touching, too—more so, I suppose, for anybody who's ever had a cat go missing. In the end, the need to be with his people proves more powerful than the catnip that lured him away. "Having loving humans," confesses Doo Doo, is "like the late-morning sun on your back, a belly full of food, and a head floating in the bright clouds of nipland, only better."
With motivation like that, it's no wonder this hero's journey is such a delight to settle into.
One lucky reader is going to receive a copy of The Confessions of a Catnip Junkie. To enter, please leave a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing on September 29. One entry per person. This giveaway includes free shipping to addresses in the US and Canada.

Saint Leo, Fla. (March 13, 2007) – The Saint Leo University softball team (13-11) stretched its winning streak to five games and won for the 13th time in the last 15 games overall with a doubleheader sweep of visiting Molloy College (3-3) on Tuesday afternoon at University Field.
Saint Leo posted shutouts in back-to-back games for the second consecutive doubleheader, winning game one 2-0 before completing the sweep with a 5-0 win in game two.
Ashley Urbanik (So., Riverview, Fla.) tossed a one-hit complete-game shutout to win game one and improve her record to 9-6 on the season. The sophomore struck out 10 en route to the win, as she posted her second consecutive shutout. She was also a combined 3-for-5 with three RBI on the afternoon.
Christina Van Tassel (Sr., Valparaiso, Fla.) delivered the only runs of game one and all the support Urbanik would need. Van Tassel tripled to score Ali Flynn (Sr., Miami, Fla.) and Erin Brunt (Sr., Clearwater, Fla.) in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Reigning SSC Pitcher of the Week Kiki VonHolt (Jr., New Port Richey, Fla.) then improved to 3-5 on the season with a complete-game four-hit shutout in the second half of the twin bill. The junior struck out four for her fourth shutout in the last five starts.
Saint Leo got off to a fast start in the second game, scoring four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to seize control of the game.

Progress Toward Degree (Do-all) Form
Information for Prospective Students at KU Medical Center
Online Learning Is it Right for You?
School of Nursing Faculty Directory
Graduate applicants please note: These standards apply to all nursing students, however, as stated in the policy, in programs without clinical components or which involve no direct contact with patients, they may be modified by the Student Admissions and Progressions Committee on an individual or case-by-case basis.
All applicants are required to read the following information. Because the Baccalaureate degree in nursing signifies that the holder is a professional nurse, it follows that graduates must have the knowledge and skills to practice in all fields of nursing. Therefore, all individuals admitted to the University of Kansas School of Nursing Baccalaureate program will be asked to verify that they can meet these standards with or without accommodation(s) (http://www.ada.gov/pubs/adastatute08.htm). In graduate courses or programs without clinical components, or involving no direct client care, these Technical Standards may be modified by the Student Admission and Progression Committee (SAPC).
The BSN degree is and must remain a broad undifferentiated degree attesting to the acquisition of general knowledge in all fields of nursing and the basic skills requisite for the practice of nursing. After acceptance, but before admission to the School of Nursing, students in all programs must be able to document current certification/evidence of completion of a course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation for healthcare providers. This requires being able to successfully complete both the written and practical test for certification. In addition, with or without accommodation, the following abilities and expectations must be met by all students, undergraduate and graduate, admitted to the School of Nursing.
Applicants who disclose a disability are considered for admission if they are otherwise qualified. When applicants or students disclose a disability, the provision of reasonable accommodations will be considered in an attempt to assist these individuals in meeting these required technical standards. It is important to give persons interested in enrolling in nursing a realistic view of the vigorous demands of the School of Nursing's theoretical and practicum curriculum while at the same time investigating reasonable accommodations. Whether or not a requested accommodation is reasonable will be determined on a case by case basis.
Individuals interested in admission to the School of Nursing may schedule an orientation visit to the nursing skills laboratory and actual sites of the University of Kansas Hospital and/or University of Kansas Medical Center. These orientation visits enable persons to assess their interest and ability to function in the actual clinical areas and in learning and demonstrating manual skills.

But it wasn't until January that Shriver learned that the child, whom she'd presumably known for many years, was his.
It was not until Shriver, who had previously taken a back seat in the campaign, jumped front and center that the day was saved.
Shriver gained prominence from his association with his in-laws, but that did not bring political success.
A production coordinator on several Shriver projects said she heard that Joseph was referred to as "the Mexican Christopher."
That was in 1997, when Shriver was pregnant and he was busy promoting Batman and Robin.
I told you, Shriver, that you didnt pay enough attention to your training and kept too late hours.
Shriver was in the rear, and in the greatest trepidation for the safety of the President.
I said to Mr. Shriver, whom I knew to be reckoned as a loyal man, that he should not have lent his presence.
While in the midst of his examination, Miss Branson, accompanied by a Mr. Shriver, came in.
I found some very fine specimens around a pond in Mr. Shriver's woods, east of Chillicothe.
"confessor," mid-14c., agent noun from shrive (v.).


text: For a very long time it appeared that Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes had split. He was on movie sets hooking up with other women and Eva Mendes was spotted walking Ryan's dog less frequently. Then news breaks that Eva Mendes is pregnant which totally contradicted everything that anyone was saying about the couple to me or to any of the tabloids. Well, Radar says that Eva got pregnant while the couple was having some ex sex and that Ryan was "blindsided" by the news and the couple is still not a couple except that they are now having a baby together. Maybe the quiet from both of their camps is they are trying to decide what to do. Do they get married? Do they pose together in a show of solidarity? Is Ryan wondering whether the baby is his? You know Eva is not a quiet person or anti-pap so I'm guessing this stay quiet thing is coming from Ryan and she is just trying not to rock the boat. It could be a result of her supposedly having miscarriage back when she was using drugs and went to rehab and now doesn't want to say anything for fear of something happening. It will be interesting to see what the story is that is spun for public consumption when this all comes out and what the story will be in the future.

Class xbmcgui.WindowXML()
Function xbmcgui.WindowXML().onInit(self) #Replacement for __init__
Function xbmcgui.WindowXML().onAction(self,action)
Function xbmcgui.WindowXML().onClick(self,controlID) #Replacement for onControl
Function xbmcgui.WindowXML().onFocus(self,controlID)
If anyone is interested in having the onFocus stuff in old Window and WindowDialog please just say.
Ideas/Long Term Goals
Allow you to do specify currentscriptpath + "\\mainwindow.xml" and automatically check path that the xml is in for images (if it has a path) else it's assumed that the xml is located in the current skin and images are in the media and XPR. Inital ideas are make the scripter detect if the xml they want such as youtube_window.xml is located in the currentskin\pal or NTSC folders else use the included xml/ stock graphics.
More Control Types
Allow for more controls types (port over more the controls available for skinning to be able to do even more.
Change the Way My Scripts works
Allow you to 'minimize' a script, then if you click on the script in my scripts give you the option to maximize or close it. Of course also have an option for scripter. (The maximize would work but remember the Window id given to the script while its running and activating that id when you click it in my scripts.
Way for Type Checking and Error handling
Way to check that when u get the control with id 2 that it is infact a button and a skinner hasn't made it a image instead
Note) I Am going off to uni so i may not get a chance to work on this. Im hoping to create a branch to store my work in before I go.
Example Script showing it from the python scripters side
import xbmcgui
Problems At The Moment
- Requires the xml to be present in the current running skin (so no way to load a included xml and gfx)
- Currently you can not get ControlList type returned if you do self.getControl(id).
Window.cpp Window_GetControlByID in the switch(pGUIControl->GetControlType()) needs a case for case CGUIControl::GUICONTAINER_LIST: \_
and a matching python type. Making it a ControlList causes access issues
- 'Exiting Problem' if you do use <onclick> in the xml (builtins) [i find u have to activatewindow(13000) 'usually' to show the script again then ESC/BACK to close
xbmcgui.WindowXML().onInit(self) Replacement for __init__
xbmcgui.WindowXML().onClick(self,controlID) Replacement for onControl
class WindowXML(xbmcgui.WindowXML):
def onInit(self):
This function has been implemented and works
The Idea for this function is to be used to get initial data and populate lists
print "onInit(): Window Initialized"
#self.listctrl = self.getControl(50)
self.button = self.getControl(2) # Example of getting a control based on ID
self.button.setLabel('Hello 2', 'font14', '0xFFFFFFFF', '0xFFFF3300', '0xFF000000') # changing the control after its on screen
def onAction(self, action):
onAction in WindowXML works same as on a Window or WindowDialog its for keypress/controller buttons etc
This function has been implemented and works
buttonCode = action.getButtonCode()
actionID = action.getId()
print "onAction(): actionID=%i buttonCode=%i" % (actionID,buttonCode)
if (buttonCode == KEY_BUTTON_BACK or buttonCode == KEY_KEYBOARD_ESC):
def onClick(self, controlID):
onClick(self, controlID) is the replacement for onControl. It gives an interger.
This function has been implemented and works
print "onclick(): control %i" % controlID
if (controlID == 2):
print "Some Control with id 2 was pressed"
def onFocus(self, controlID):
onFocus(self, int controlID)
This function has been implemented and works
print "onFocus(): control %i" % controlID
if (controlID == 5):
print 'The control with id="5" just got focus'
if __name__ == '__main__':
w = WindowXML("youtube.xml")
del w
Any ideas, suggestions are appreciated.
More information should be up on http://darkdonno.googlepages.com/xbmc-dev once i get around to documenting more of it
Spend quite a few hours today getting the actual code to work so far
The goal is make scripts more like plug-ins that fit along with the rest of XBMC, and also try to make it easier and hopefully more efficient.
