I have noticed a strange problem with my laptop that just cropped up. It seems as though if I try to download anything (seems to be surely from Microsoft sites, though it may just be that is where my biggest downloads are coming from) that is large, i.e. service packs, etc. the download say that it is the proper size even when downloading; however, it will "complete" prematurely without any warnings or anything as though it is finished normally. However, when trying to launch the program, I get "...is not a valid Win32 Application". I check the file and realize it is only like 1/4 the size it is supposed to be. This happens with Chrome, FF, and IE.
I just tried installing SQL SERVER 2008 SP3 and this happened. Now, I can download it on another PC and copy it over and it works fine. Furthermore, when I tried to install both this and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 via Windows Update, I got error 80200053, which I think is related honestly.
Now, the weird thing is that I was able to download the ~600MB VS SP1 update, but not the SQL SERVER update.
Anyone have any clue where to start? No errors or anything related in the logs.

When downloading large files behind certain firewalls ie Watch-guard sometime it will strip certain data from the file it might find to be a threat. Try downloading with the firewall off. Even some web content filters will have the same behavior.

Possibly re-install your ethernet driver on your PC. otherwise, you could give reformatting the OS on this laptop, redo all the drivers and give it a shot from there, if that doesnt resolve it i would call it a firewall issue or somethin is up with your NIC. also i would run a chkdsk to make sure you dont have any bad sectors on your HDD.
just my two cents Mike, hope it helps ya

Seems to only be happening with files downloaded from Microsoft sites.

Title: Red Austin Mini Cooper S Jigsaw Puzzle
About: In today's new puzzle we feature a beautiful classic car - the Austin Mini Cooper S. The Mini is a small economy car made by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s. This distinctive two-door car was designed for BMC by Sir Alec Issigonis. John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company and designer and builder of Formula One and rally cars, saw the potential of the Mini for competition. Issigonis was initially reluctant to see the Mini in the role of a performance car, but after John Cooper appealed to BMC management, the two men collaborated to create the Mini Cooper. The Austin Mini Cooper and Morris Mini Cooper debuted in 1961.

It's a Monday morning in the middle of November, and there is no pins-and-needles wait for news out of Venezuela, no piano wire-tight drama about what might happen to Wilson Ramos. We're just back to regular old hot stove news, and it's refreshing.
Anyway, the general manager's meetings begin today in Milwaukee, and the Nationals can return to their offseason pursuits knowing Ramos is safe and sound. The GM meetings typically aren't as active as the Winter Meetings, which will be held next month in Dallas, but we could see the finalization of a new collective bargaining agreement, which might have some effect on the draft process in the future, among other things.
The Marlins' deal for Jose Reyes isn't final yet, according to reports, but it seems like things are headed in that direction. If the Marlins are going to beef up their payroll with the opening of their new ballpark, that could be a game-changer; it remains to be seen whether South Florida will pack a viable ballpark night after night, but Miami is sure to be an attractive destination for Latin American players, and the team has enough young talent that a few big additions could make the Marlins a force next year.
As for the Nationals? Expect them to continue their twin pursuits of a pitcher and a leadoff hitter this week, though nothing may get done for a while, especially if they have to make a trade for the leadoff hitter they want. But they'll have a chance to lay some groundwork this week in Milwaukee which could pay off later this winter.
I'll wrap up this post by throwing out a question: It was posited to me on Twitter this weekend that the Marlins' aggressiveness in Year One of a new ballpark is what the Nationals should have done before the 2008 season when Nationals Park was opening. I'm not sure I completely agree with that - the Marlins have a far better infrastructure of young talent in place than the Nationals did at that point, and we can see now just how bereft of prospects the minor league system was - but I'm curious to hear what you thought the team could have done to capitalize on a new ballpark, if anything. Let me know.

Mani came to Full Moon Farm in July of 2002, through another rescue that is now out of business. Mani used to live in a condo in DC. He did just fine there, until the wife had to get a job. Left home alone, he was lonely and bored and did $10,000 worth of damage to the condo. That's how he ended up going into rescue. He is trained, and can leash walk. He was used in the movie "Mandie and the Secret Tunnel." He was supposed to jump up on the bad guy, but he knows he's not supposed to jump on people, so they ended up smearing the actor's face with hot dogs and then had him lay on the ground so Mani could lick the hot dog off his face. He adores Marion, his pen partner. His birthday is March 30, 2000.
Hello, my name is Mani, and I am a well-bred gentleman. I do not use slang, and am the most proper of all Full Moon Farm residents. If mom would let me wear a tux, I would! I am the most photographed animal here, so the photo you get of me will be suitable for framing. Please sponsor me, and see me on the Howl In tour!
Mani Says
We rely on donations and sponsorships to feed and care for our animals, and a simple sponsorship of $20 per month, given with your good wishes, goes a long distance towards covering the cost of maintaining all the wolfdogs in good health and keeping them happy and enriched! Sponsoring a wolfdog is a fantastic way to make a difference in their life--giving you a connection to them and their well-being.

- Movelists?
Do you still learn new moves in this game, or does every character have all their moves at the offset? cause honestly? I kind of LIKE not having all my moves right at the start. It gives me something to look forward to, and makes me wanna play each and every one of the characters MORE, when there is more to unlock for them. 4 weapons each, an extra skin, and new moves? Yes please!
I intend to buy this game soon, as I never bought it for my PS3, but I buy a WIi U tomorrow, and saw that this was on it as well, and included the Duel Mode that I so loved in Orochi 2. While not learning new moves wouldn't break the game for me, it WOULD kind of dissipoint me. So can someone please tell me before tomorrow, to save me a lil' face? Couldn't find it on the wiki or anything, so need someone who's played it already to tell me!
Also, anything else about hte game I should know?
"**** off."
You have to gain levels to unlock the whole moveset. By Lv.25 the entire moveset is unlocked (just like the other Warriors Orochi games).
I will rule the world, and find that truly good cup of coffee.
codo141 posted...
I remember playing Warriors Orochi 2 on my psp, and while I saw that movelists were initially really tiny, and was kind of dissipointed... I noticed Taigong Wang, after throwing big earthy balls around (Hurrhurrhurr), he seemed to do a NEW attack I had never seen him do before, and when I looked back into his movelist, he had like... An extra button or two on his combos.
Well from what I learned from playing... I learn all the moves for all the characters at level 20.
Dynasty Warriors Characters learn 6 charge attacks total and one of them is their EX attack unique to them.
Samurai Warriors Characters learn either 9 or 5 charge attacks, just one more than what they used to know.
Basically, if u played only WO2 then each of the characters will get an extra charge attack.
Koei takes characters from SW3XL and DW7XL and combine them. But, the sad part is when I played as Musashi one of my favs. All Koei did to him is give him a new Special attack. No extra charge attacks.
Here a quick list of characters i see did not get extra charge attacks (my bad for misspelling)
Da Ji
Orochi X
Fu Xi
Nu Wa
Taigong Wang
and maybe some others that i forgot
Basically the new characters that were put in this game such as the Ninja Gaiden Characters and others will get another charge attack.
Yep thats about it for me :D sorry for the gigantic post.
Honestly? I never got to play TOO much of Wariors Orochi 2, due to moving to Japan, and not being able to bring my PSP. I got a Vita now, but I didn't wanna pay 30 bucks for a game I already owned a physical copy of. But to find out the 3rd game came out, at first I was ecstatic, but I found out that they took out the Duel Mode kind of thing that WO2 had, which... Sure, it was a gimmick. but it was a -fun- gimmick that I loved. I was like "Meh", and decided I could care less. Plus, the lack of multiple storylines sorta made me not care as well.
But to find out the game has a weird story-mode with tons of little side-missions to unlock the other characters instead? I thought that was a neat concept. But to find out the Wii U version brings BACK the duel mode? -that- was the real kicker that sent me over the edge, and wanting to buy it. So I'm ecstatic for that. THough i also gotta ask some things.
For one, is the game Downloadable? Because I don't really believe I'll find an American copy of the game over here. Add to that, how much space does the Wii U really have? I intend to get the deluxe version for extra space, but how much does WO3H take up of it? I'm worried about space constraints (Even if I'm still going to get it), but I just need to know.
And as for the characters gaining new moves by levelling up? That's exactly what I asked, and hoped for. Sweeeeeeet~

The following appendices correspond to A Report from the Digital Projects and Infrastructure Group (DPIG), September 2011.
Appendix I: "Comments on The Dartmouth Digital Library: Program, Priorities, and Policies (April 2010)" Recommendations
Appendix II: Detailed Workflows
Proposal, Evaluation, and Selection
Appendix III: Technical Infrastructure
Recommendations for Infrastructure Development
The Major Components of the Infrastructure and Their Behaviors
Appendix IV: Web Form: Proposals for the Digitizing of Library Collections
Appendix V: Proposal Guidelines
Appendix VI: Project Management Worksheet
Appendix VII: Digital Project Item Management Worksheet
Appendix VIII: Example of Shared Staffing Model
The April 2010 document can be found at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~library/admin/docs/DDL-policy.pdf.
The Library should make the Dartmouth Digital Library a priority in fund-raising, staffing, and requests for College innovation funding. This service cannot be successful with current investments alone.
Ongoing: Manton Endowment gift was obtained in 2009 and income has been used to purchase equipment and pay staff salaries. The fund is beginning to provide more income to support staff salaries.
The Library should adopt the Priorities and Principles outlined in this document.
Achieved: The Library has begun or completed selected digitization of library holdings including the Comoediae sex cum argumentis, letters of Samson Occom, and selections of historical films of Dartmouth College. The Library has partnered with the University Press of New England to publish a digital only version of Professor William C. Scott's, The Artistry of the Homeric Simile, and issue a digital version of his 1974 publication, The Oral Nature of the Homeric Simile. A sample of library exhibits are now available on-line; methods for long term storage of digital objects created for exhibits have been established. Finally, existing electronic journals have been moved into the Dartmouth publication space and the Library has supported publication of newly created electronic journals by Dartmouth editors, the most recent being The Journal of e-Media Studies.
The principles of NISO's Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections (2007) have informed our thinking in the formation of the program definitions, policies, and recommendations.
A Director of Digital Initiatives position should be created to lead and develop this new Program, including responsibility for resource attraction.
Not yet accomplished.
A Digital Production Manager position should be created to run the emerging Digital Production Unit. Oversight of digital production should be attached to a department with existing production expertise. Preservation Services is a good candidate.
Not yet accomplished.
An infrastructure to create, deliver, and curate long term digital library assets should be planned, implemented, and added to the Library budget. [Underway: see Library FY10 Goal 4C]
On-going. See Library Goals for FY12.
A Collections Working Group should be established in 2010 to integrate this Digital Program into the existing collection development programs and policies.
Incomplete. Some work has been done within the Collections Management and Planning Group.
A Rights Working Group should be established in 2010 to settle questions of ownership, rights statements, open access, memoranda of understanding with faculty partners, and policies on re-use of digitized content.
Incomplete. Some work has been done within the Collections Management and Planning Group, and by Eliz Kirk and Barbara DeFelice on behalf of DPIG.
Cost-sharing requirements and joint fund-raising opportunities should be discussed with a faculty partner or other collaborator, we will discuss early in the project.
Ongoing: Digitization costs for the Samson Occom letters and the Comoediae sex cum argumentis were identified and underwritten by a grant or the library user.
All Library Staff should be encouraged to gather suggestions for projects and faculty publications and submit them to DPIG.
Achieved: A web form has been successfully used by library staff to submit projects for review, and DPIG responds to requests in a timely fashion.
DPIG should serve as the locus for Digital Project Management processes, workflows, and decisions, consulting with LAG, selectors, and other entities as needed.
Achieved: DPIG members are developing expertise in evaluating project proposals and designing workflows.
Cataloging and Metadata Services should be charged with the metadata design and intellectual access for online collections and the management of the harvestable records that accompany them.
Achieved: A Text Markup Unit has been formed within Cataloging and Metadata Services and a metadata policy is being written.
Preservation Services should be charged with building expertise in digital preservation and formulating long-term curation guidelines for the content built by the Digital Program.
Achieved: A digital preservation policy has been written, and Preservation staff members are active in collaborating with members of DLTG to formulate long-term curation guidelines.
DLTG should continue to provide technical and programming support for the Digital Program, and should expand their consultative role as we explore new processes and infrastructure.
Achieved: Members of DLTG collaborated with staff from Cataloging and Metadata Services and Preservation to identify behaviors of a digital production workflow, metadata repository, and long-term storage repository
Digital Resources should retain direct responsibility for Digital Publishing.
Achieved. The Director of Digital Resources now has 25% of her job assigned to Digital Publishing.
Web Management should be charged with overseeing the Web Team to provide the online delivery of digital collections and publications, including design decisions and the placement of links on the Library website.
Partially achieved. The Web Team has offered support when asked but have not yet been able to lead the online delivery of our collections.
Assessment markers should be built into our structures and processes to make sure the program is efficient and impactful, to cover policy, selection, production, staffing model, curation, and use [as per Library Goal FY12 4b].
Ongoing: Workflow for digital conversion of the Comoediae sex cum argumentis was evaluated including identification of departmental impact and staff costs. The Samson Occom Project is tracking itself closely. New projects are establishing success criteria at the beginning.
Action: Library staff members propose projects, and a Selection Committee (currently DPIG) evaluates these proposals for digital conversion, applying agreed-upon and publicized selection criteria.
Description: A Project Proposal Form is available in the Library Staff Web and can be completed by any library staff member. Once a proposal has been submitted the completed form is distributed to all DPIG members and a copy of the proposal is made available on StaffWeb for review.
DPIG members apply the Selection Policy for Digitization Projects and determine whether to move forward with the project, return to the proposer for more information, or decide that the project is out of scope.
If the project moves forward, a Project Manager is appointed. See DPIG documentation on the Evaluation and Selection stage.
Outputs: (this stage is completed when these products are completed)
Action: A project team appointed by DPIG conducts a thorough review of the project and – if the decision is still to move forwards -- creates a comprehensive action plan based on input from all relevant areas of expertise.
Description: The Project Manager assembles a project team. The role of the team is to:
create a success statement for the project;
complete a comprehensive inventory of the source items;
assess the source items' physical condition, existing descriptive metadata, and rights information;
develop a detailed plan for executing the project.
The metadata assessment includes an analysis of intended use of the materials, a decision about the delivery system to be used, an inventory of pre-existing descriptive metadata, and an assessment of the time and effort needed to create any additional metadata needed to support the intended use.
The team also completes content capture specifications and long-term storage planning, and forwards the completed project plan to DPIG for approval. See DPIG documentation on the Discovery and Planning stage.
Outputs: (this stage is completed when these products are completed)
Outputs from previous stage PLUS:
Project Management Worksheet (PMW). PMW will include:
Project title and unique identifier for the project.
Metadata assessment (Cataloging and Metadata Services):
Analysis of the discovery scenarios outlined in the proposal and of available descriptive metadata and/or markup needed to realize the scenarios.
Metadata inventory: gather, review and assess descriptive metadata. If available descriptive metadata and/or markup is not adequate, time and effort estimates for the creation of these metadata.
Preservation assessment of source objects, with evaluation documentation and a planned repair schedule.
Dissemination requirements, to include a list of expected file format(s) and delivery platform(s). If a CONTENTdm delivery is planned, a determination of whether Compound Objects will be created.
Digital conversion plan: this will include a schedule for delivery of items to digital conversion unit/vendor, estimated length of time for the digital conversion processes, content capture specifications, and a detailed file naming convention.
Long-term storage planning, including an estimate of storage space needed for masters, derivatives, and metadata, and a written submission agreement for ingest of materials into the long-term storage repository.
Statement of resources needed to complete project, including staff time, vendor costs, supplies, equipment, and long-term storage and delivery cost estimate.
Decision on whether the physical materials will be retained, and if so whether any changes will be made to storage locations or terms of use.

Dartmouth College Library is soliciting nominations for collections from its holdings that would benefit from digitization, in order to provide wider access, richer pedagogy, and increased research opportunities. See the "Proposal Elements" and "Selection Policy for Digitization Projects" for criteria used to evaluate proposals.
Title: Terence, Comoediae sex cum argumentis
Proposed by: Jay Satterfield
Project Summary: Disbind, scan, and rebind Codex Ms 001999. A complete scan of this manuscript has been requested by a researcher in Australia with grant funding to cover most or all of the cost. The manuscript gets moderate use in classes, and it is in need of a new binding. This project would provide access to a researcher, create broad digital access, and make the original more stable and accessible.
Online references: Here is the catalog record: http://libcat.dartmouth.edu/record=b1944245~S1
Here is the listing in Script to Pixels: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~library/rauner/westmss/001999.html
Scope: The manuscript was created in 1462 in Ferrara. It is in Latin.
Size: There are 112 leaves (or 224 pages) on vellum.
Access: The manuscript is available in the Rauner Library reading room to any researcher.
Use: Nothing local, but a researcher at an Australian university will be using it in a research project focused on marginal comments in Terence manuscripts.
Partners: The researcher can commit funding from her grant.
Rights: There are no rights issues.
Preservation: It is in a 19th-century binding. The front and back boards are detached. The binding structure is too tight to be functional--it does not allow access to the gutters and puts stress on the vellum when opened.
Other comments: The researcher has funds; would need an invoice by November 15th, but understands the actual scanning work would take longer. I prepared an estimate for her with the help of Deborah Howe [redacted]. If at all possible, I need to get back to the researcher this week.
Proposers will provide this information via the proposal form, and reviewers will use it as a checklist of information needed in a proposal. See also the Selection Policy for Digitization Projects. The first five questions should be addressed in a proposal (they are therefore included as part of the online Proposals Form), and #6, 7, and 8 are additional questions for the evaluation committee:
Proposal Questions
The following is a draft of the template that will be filled in as an item travels through the various digitization stages.

by Claire Bernish, The Free Thought Project:
Energy Transfer Partners, the company responsible for construction of the hotly contentious Dakota Access Pipeline, has another controversial pipeline project with the potential to contaminate drinking water and the environment and destroy an area in Texas described as sacred and environmentally vital — and the ruthless company has been suing landowners to snatch their property for its own profiteering.
Known as the Trans-Pecos pipeline, the relatively short 143-mile project would carry natural gas from western Texas' Permian Basin — likened to "America's Saudi Arabia" as the country's "Most Important Oil and Gas Resource" by Forbes — across the border into Mexico. But this project will run through the state's pristine, remote Big Bend area, considered sacred to some and an environmental treasure to others, and — despite Texas' long history of devotion to Big Oil and Gas — has sparked vociferous debate about property rights and corporate power.
"It's a sacred landscape," explained Texan David Keller, an archaeologist at Sul Ross State University's Center for Big Bend Studies, for the Texas Tribune last year. "It truly is the last best place in Texas. When you destroy that landscape, you lose that sense of place."
Headed by billionaire Kelcy Warren, Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) has taken 40 Big Bend ranchers to court with eminent domain lawsuits to wrest them of their property under the premise the pipeline would be in the public interest — a claim backed by proponents who say construction and implementation would bring much-needed cash to the area's impoverished towns.
Although the majority of Texans describe themselves as friendly to Big Oil, the Trans-Pecos pipeline's Big Bend path exposed a rift the state hadn't previously experienced.
"They figure they can just show up and condemn your land," landowner Tom Beard told the Tribune. Beard and his wife and former Brewster County judge, Val, noted they'd never had concerns about the state's pervasive oil and gas industry — until they caught a surveyor for ETP trespassing unannounced and unwelcome on their land in March.
"I think energy independence is a good thing," Val said. "This experience has told me it's got a downside."
Environmentalists and ranchers — ordinarily at least somewhat ideologically opposed — have teamed up in a so-far fruitless effort to stop ETP.
Thus far, special commissioners have collectively awarded several landowners just under $3 million in relief, instead of the paltry tens of thousands per ranch the company reportedly offered.
"I received this $18,000 offer and was told I had a week to accept it," rancher Jeanne Simpson, whose family has lived on the Big Bend property since the 1880s, told Marketplace.
ETP's offer to Simpson "was amended and raised by the commissioners to close to $700,000. Another landowner who was offered $16,000 was awarded close to $500,000. Another was offered $33,000 and received close to $1 million," Marketplace reported, evidencing the farcically low assessments by ETP.
"Honestly, I don't think it's possible" to give fair compensation, Simpson asserted. "My immediate goal is to receive fair compensation for the damage that's going to be done to my ranch."
But the company has nearly limitless funds — millions in damage payouts have done little to halt the progress of pipeline construction, which began in June this year and is slated to be fully operational by March 2017.
"The net of this is you've got a $766 million project, and the revenue backed up could be in the billions," Coyne Gibson, a volunteer with the pipeline opposition Big Bend Conservation Alliance (BBCA), as quoted in the Observer. "If everyone got $1 million, you're still looking at chump change [for ETP]."
Ranchers and landowners accuse ETP of low-balling offers to access their land, in part because the company doesn't feel it should take devaluation of property value from the presence of its infrastructure into consideration. Special commissioners are designated to decide these cases of eminent domain; but as explained by the Observer, the hearings amount to little more than ordinary administrative proceedings:

METAIRIE - Considering the tremendous success they've had in the NFL, which will likely continue for several years to come, some people believe brothers Peyton and Eli Manning were born to play pro football.
But it's not that easy, and it doesn't always work out that way.
As the sons of former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning, Peyton and Eli came into the NFL with much fanfare as the top player picked in the 1998 and 2004 drafts, respectively.
Even though they share DNA with their famous father, the second overall pick of the 1971 draft, that's where it ends as far as athletic ability goes.
The personalized instruction, backyard clinics, dinner-table chalk talks and Saturday visits to the locker room may have been just as important - if not more - than their bloodlines to get them ready for the NFL.
Knowing that, the Saints hope those same things, that early indoctrination to the pro game, rubbed off on their two first-round draft picks this spring - defensive end Cameron Jordan and running back Mark Ingram.
Jordan, who played his college ball at Cal, is the son of former Minnesota Vikings tight end Steve Jordan, a six-time Pro Bowl pick who had 498 receptions while starting 149 of 176 games over 13 seasons.
Ingram, the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Alabama, is the son of New York Giants 1987 first-round draft pick Mark Ingram Sr., who played 10 seasons and appeared in 128 games with four teams.
Like the Manning brothers, Jordan and Ingram spent time with their dads in the locker room on the day before games. Most NFL coaches allow players to bring their sons to work, letting them romp around before and after the team's light walkthrough practice.
"I remember going to the locker room with my dad," said a smiling Ingram, the 28th selection in this year's draft. "I remember being in there, hanging out with Dan Marino's kids and things like that. I was always around football."
Jordan was only 5 years old when his father retired from the game, but he also recalled those Saturday morning visits to the Metrodome locker room.
"Yeah, I remember running around the dome with grown men and jumping on them," he said laughing. "I remember being there in the locker room and different scenarios like that. Not too many people get to do that, so maybe I took it for granted at the time."
NFL scouts, who leave no stone unturned these days, value those kinds of experiences to a certain extent - especially if the dad had a successful pro career. But what happens later in their formative years is what can really mold the player.
"You're aware of (bloodlines), but that's it," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "You're aware, but more than anything you're watching the tape and their workouts, and you're trying to evaluate them not based on (their dads).
"At the same time, each case is different," he said. "Both of these guys have had successful (college) careers and were drafted on their own merit. You know they've grown up with it. It's just like a coach's kid; you know they've grown up with football."
Former Saints coach Jim Mora agreed.
When Mora took over as coach of the Indianapolis Colts in 1998, the club had the first pick in the draft - which turned out to be Peyton Manning.
He'd seen Peyton grow up at the Saints' old practice facility when Archie Manning, who used to be the team's radio color analyst, would drop by the day before games.
"If he's a good player, that's what it boils down to," Mora said when asked if he noticed anything different about ex-player's sons. "There are probably some good genes involved. But if he's a coach's kid or a player's kid, something probably rubbed off on him that will help a little bit."
Oddly enough, Ingram's dad didn't push football on him when he was a youngster. Mark Ingram Sr. wanted his son to play golf, which Mark Jr. did for a while.
He said he won the Midwest Junior Golf Championship two years in a row before turning his attention to football upon entering high school in Grand Blanc, Mich.
After he started with the varsity as a freshman, Mark Jr. said his dad quickly changed his mind about wanting him to play golf.
"My dad always said I was special, but I still needed to focus and work hard," he said. "He taught me everything: how to throw, catch, run, tackle. He taught me everything about football, and he's still teaching me to this day. He's always been like a coach to me."
For Cameron Jordan, there was never any question that he and his younger brother were going to play football.
"When we were about 13, we got thrown into it for sure," Jordan said. "My dad would always be teaching me about everything. If I let him, he'd sit me down for three hours and talk just about football.
"But my mom would shut that down," a grinning Jordan said, "so he never got the chance."
When he received a scholarship to play his college ball at Cal, Jordan said his dad gave him some football pointers he felt he already knew.
"It was like, ?Dad, don't worry, I've got it under control,'" he said. "Then, when I got ready for my second year, it was, ?Dad, tell me a little bit more ? I might listen to you now.'
"You just realize you have so much information there, you have to utilize everything that you can. So that helped me a lot."
And it probably won't hurt now that he's in the NFL.

Every Helm Master component is engineered to maximize the performance of your large, offshore boat. From controls that take the guesswork out of maneuvering and docking to gauges that give you critical information, Helm Master helps you command effortlessly.
Helm Master is a digital platform, and its components require little dash space. There are no additional control cables, and the Digital Steering Helm does not require any hydraulic hoses at the helm. Helm Master components come with a Yamaha Helm Master limited 3-year warranty.
Enhanced Binnacle Control
The Helm Master Enhanced Binnacle Control handles all the major functions of outboard operation and management. With the push of a button, you can control the speed, throttle, or trim of all your engines, or select your center engines only.
Joystick Docking
When Helm Master is in joystick mode, you can move your boat in any direction without engaging the shift/throttle or steering wheel. Move forward or backward, sideways or diagonally, or even pivot in place just by guiding the joystick. The more pressure you
apply, the more thrust your outboards produce.
Use High Mode in wind or higher current
situations to add RPMs.
Keyless Electronic Ignition
Get everything started in one fell swoop with an RFID key fob. The swipe of a single RFID key fob engages multiple engines. Each Helm Master system includes two key fobs and allows for up to four key fobs.
Digital Steering
The digitally rigged Helm Master steering wheel automatically adds friction during acceleration and reduces resistance during deceleration to enhance steering feel. You can override this through the LCD, selecting "regular" or "high" friction to fit current conditions.
5-inch High-Def LCD Screen
Through the Helm Master 5-inch LCD screen, you can set preferences and automate functions for customized control. Control system settings and view vital boat and engine information on a big, full-color screen. Choose your display style from a palette of colors, digital or analog data and day/night backlighting.

Back when I was young and cool and shagging a rock star, I got a black taxi to Manchester with him to play a gig
Think it was near £1k

I once got one from the office up to Piccadilly when it was raining and I had a heavy bag. About £5.40 it was if I remember right. Never again; I had no money for Greggs the next day.

I had a mate who went out drinking whilst attending the Tory Party conference in Manchester.
Got an Uber and asked the driver to take him "home" but was so drunk he forgot to specify he meant "i.e. to my hotel in Central Manchester".
Promptly fell asleep in the back.
Woke up next day with a raging hangover in his flat in Clapham. Took him a few minutes to realise all his things were still in a hotel a few hundred miles North.
Uber bill was a few hundred quid.

That got in the press, didn't it NW?
Got a paid-for cab back from Cardiff to Hertfordshire once - was recording something on television (!) and finished too late to allow me to get back by train.
In terms of paid for, longest was Flitwick in Bedfordshire to NW London - got pi**ed, assumed Thameslink was running all night. It wasn't. Also had to get one back from Petersfield to Guildford within my first week as a trainee when I drunkenly overslept my stop. But Flitwick-London's got to be further.

Scratching On Controllers: 7 Myths Busted
As many of you will unfortunately be only too aware, there's a whole army of haters out there, continually bashing digital DJs and controllerists because they don't use vinyl or didn't "come from" vinyl. And nowhere is this more true than among a certain section of scratch DJs.
So You Want To Learn To Scratch...
It's time to confess to something. When we were saying last week that we knew it was possible to learn advanced scratching techniques on DJ controllers, we weren't making it up. Far from it.

Anthony Tyler Doucette gets suspended sentence for his part in gas syphoning scheme
A Charlottetown man who was involved in a scheme that saw gas syphoned from a courier company's vehicles was given a suspended sentence Friday in provincial court.
Anthony Tyler Doucette, 22, appeared before Judge John Douglas in Charlottetown for sentencing after pleading guilty to theft.
Doucette and a co-accused drove a van to the courier company's parking lot and syphoned gas from vehicles.
The court heard the co-accused bought a van that looked like one of the courier company's.
He was previously sentenced to 30 days in jail.
The Crown and defence made a joint recommendation of a suspended sentence for Doucette and the court heard his involvement in the crime wasn't significant.
Before hearing his sentence, Doucette addressed the court and apologized, saying it wasn't something he would normally be involved with.
"I definitely won't be repeating that same mistake," he said.
With the suspended sentence, Douglas placed Doucette on probation for nine months and ordered him to pay $200 in restitution.
Doucette must also perform four hours of community service, pay a $100 victim surcharge and write an apology letter.

About kumpaka
kumpaka posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi there, So i've been continuing my pursuit for skeletal animation! Hasn't been a long time since i started, but hard. I got a little understanding of how the structures work and i think i got that ok, also i spent the last couple of days building the code i needed for quaternions, and altough problems will appear im sure, the tests i ran so far worked well(even slerp). My problem now is, even if i have all bones loaded and correctly positioned, and all the vertex information and weights also loaded and linked with the bones. How do i use this information, so that when i rotate a bone for example, it will drag with it, the vertex's associated? Thanks in advance.
Ok then i got this sorted, ty very much for your help.
This is making me confused, i tought and it made sense. I was happy i got this out of the way, but now i found this here: [url="http://content.gpwiki.org/index.php/OpenGL:Tutorials:Using_Quaternions_to_represent_rotation#Rotating_vectors"]http://content.gpwiki.org/index.php/OpenGL:Tutorials:Using_Quaternions_to_represent_rotation#Rotating_vectors[/url] They actually normalize the vector they are about to rotate: [CODE] // Multiplying a quaternion q with a vector v applies the q-rotation to v Vector3 Quaternion::operator* (const Vector3 &vec) const { Vector3 vn(vec); vn.normalise(); Quaternion vecQuat, resQuat; vecQuat.x = vn.x; vecQuat.y = vn.y; vecQuat.z = vn.z; vecQuat.w = 0.0f; resQuat = vecQuat * getConjugate(); resQuat = *this * resQuat; return (Vector3(resQuat.x, resQuat.y, resQuat.z)); } [/CODE]
I see, that was very helpful indeed thank you. What about the vector i want to rotate? on v' = q . v . conj(q), does 'v' also need to be normalized? Because if it does, wont it alter the result intended? Very sorry if this sound like dumb questions, just started looking at quaternions a few days ago =( You're help is much appreciated.
Its solved, the math i had on paper was right but not the one on code =( both problems were solved, my vector dot product and vector cross product had mistakes. Thank you. PS: If the vector i want to rotate does not have lenght 1, i need to normalize it? Rotation quaternions, if calculated by that formula are always unit quaternions?
I started to prove that today on paper(yeah by scalar i meant real part, on book im reading he calls it scalar, on some toturials it's the 'w') and thats what i got, it should be zero i was just afraid i did the math wrong. The examples i try on my code dont end up getting 0 on the real part, means im doing something wrong... need to find out what and correct it, just wanted to be sure i was on the right path. Btw, you say for quaternions that represent rotations |q| = 1, i calculated it, for example with this: alpha = 90º v = (1.0,0.0,0.0) q = [cos(90/2), sin(90/2) * (v)] But it did not result in a normalized quaternion, again the math on my code must be working improperly right? Thank you. PS(before calculating the cos or sin, i convert de degree's to radians)
kumpaka posted a topic in Math and PhysicsHi there, So I've been working around with quaternions, let me just see if i got this straight: v' = q . v. q^-1 Will get me a new vector with an applied rotation? To do this multiplication we turn v into a quaternion by adding scale with value 0, and from the resulting quat. we can extract the vector value to get the result. But on this new resulting quat, for us to just simply extract the values doesnt the scale of the resulting quaternion need to be 0? Or whatever the value is, we just dont mind and extract the vector values anyways? Thanks in advance.
kumpaka replied to kumpaka's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI used another model already with an armature not done by myself, but on this one i got the same error but it sucessfully exported the skeleton.xml Heres the thing, on the structure of the mesh.xml theres something like this "<face v1="0" v2="1" v3="2"/>" that defines faces, i still dont know what indexes this values are since the vertex arent identified so im assuming its by the order they are red from the file. When drawing, if i drawed every face as a single triangle it would turn out very heavy i think. If instead i made an algorithm to search in this list for faces that had 2 vertex's wich were the same as the last 2 drawn, i could use triangle strip and save a bit. Would this be bad? also when moving the skeleton according to each vertex weight, would it have a nasty effect using triangle strips? Thanks in advance.
kumpaka replied to kumpaka's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI just tried exporting from blender but the armature doesnt show up, for what ive looked around it seems to be a problem with the root bone, did you have any problem like this in blender 2.6? Thanks a lot for the help btw, finally feel like im moving forward.
kumpaka replied to kumpaka's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI can do those things in blender, but then if i export to ogre, and then from ogre to xml, i can load and work with that in my opengl app? that sounds nice! if its a fixed animation i can even do it blender and proceed trough the same steps?
kumpaka posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi there, Ive been struggling with skeletal animation and skinning now, using this tutorial as reference: [url="http://content.gpwiki.org/index.php/OpenGL:Tutorials:Basic_Bones_System"]http://content.gpwiki.org/index.php/OpenGL:Tutorials:Basic_Bones_System[/url] I could get a lot of it to work, but now i started searching about how to skin... I is it possible to define an armature in blender, and also weight the vertex there and somehow use it in my opengl/c++ app? i can now build a skeleton, but i have no clue on how to load a model(obj?) and paint the vertex. Thanks in advance.
kumpaka replied to kumpaka's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingYes the intention would be to animate in a game engine, but with complicated models i assumed it would be very tricky to assign the weight of the vertex to the bones, so if i could somehow use what was done in blender it would be nice. I really just intend to get some grasp of how skeletal animation is done to be honest. Im going to look around cal3d.
kumpaka replied to kumpaka's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThanks, going to check that. But do you think its a viable way of trying to do skeletal animation?
kumpaka posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingSo i've been looking around a lot on this subject and it is quite dificult. What i was thinking, is that, if i can build the armature in blender, and even weight the vertices... isnt there some way to export this information so that i can load the armature into a struct in c++ and work from there? It may be an idiotic question, but im looking everywhere to grasp this subject. At this moment im reading "Computer Animation" by Rick Parent, very good book so far but i need more pratical examples on how to implement skeletal animation in opengl. Thanks in advance!

Monday night's public meeting by the Watertown School District to discuss a restructuring and proposed building plan likely was a blast from the past for at least some of the people attending the meeting.
School officials outlined their plans to build a new Middle school, reconfigure the current Middle School into a facility to serve grades 5-6 and change the current K-6 elementary buildings into schools that would serve students in grades K-4.
District officials say the changes are needed because of a growing enrollment. That was also the case back in the 1980s and '90s when one larger than normal class of elementary school students was followed by another right behind it. That trend continued for several years. It resulted in the construction of an addition on the south side of the High School to accommodate 9th grade students moving there from the middle school. Lincoln and Jefferson elementary schools were built and additions were added to other elementary schools.
We're facing a similar situation where growing student numbers require changes in our facilities. Five additional elementary classrooms have been added in the past five years and by the 2017-2018 school year district officials project 7 to 8 more will be needed. Kindergarten classes are projected to be anywhere from 320-353 for the next five years and total district enrollment is projected to be 4,219 students in school year 2017-2018, up from 3,858 students in the current school year.
That is a lot of growth and a lot of demand on the existing facilities. Fortunately, school officials, like they did back in the 1980s, recognized the problem in advance and are now looking to do something about it. And then, like now, they presented their case to the public and explained why the changes they were proposing, both in terms of constructing new facilities and remodeling existing ones, needed to be made. The course followed back then produced changes that served the district well for the next few decades.
Will these new proposed changes do the same? To make sure they do, the school board and administration are now seeking the public's input. Attendance at the first meeting Monday night was pretty sparse - around 30 school district taxpayers showed up. The next meeting will be on Monday, Jan. 7, at 5 p.m. at the High School. Mark that down on your calendar and attend. With public input, the board will be able to make the best decision possible for the taxpayers, the students and our community. Without it, reaching that goal becomes difficult.
Don't wait or depend on others — give your ideas and input now to our board, so we can again have the right plans in place to handle the good news that comes with a growing student population.

It was at Dayton, in many ways, that the species known as liberal hawk was born.
It was Dougherty, working at the time for the Dayton Daily News, who broke the news that put the Keating Five scandal on the map.
The weird thing, really, is that Dayton began to grow into the role which history had assigned it.
