What makes you great to live with? I'm just an easy going guy who enjoys socialising and or time alone. I am currently building a business focused on healing youths 10 - 18 who abuse drugs, alcohol or others. There is plenty to me and I am more then happy to share when we meet and greet. Take care and please reach out to me if you feel magnetised.
Clean and tidy, looking for peaceful quite surroundings.
I work full time as an apprentice chef. I have a 4 month old Border Collie who is extremely friendly and playful. If I'm not working I'll either be with my partner, out with friends or at home chilling with my puppy watching Netflix, playing games or reading. I'm a tidy person and respect privacy.
Hi - my partner and myself are a quiet couple and we both work fulltime. One of us is working in healthcare and studying business and travel. The other is working as a production worker and studying construction. We tend to be quite busy with work and study. However, do enjoy to go out with friends when possible. We have a 1yo dog who is medium sized and quite settled, we have a cat also! They are both indoors and outdoors. We are social, fun people and enjoy making new friendships! We currently are renting in Mount Barker and looking for someone who would be interested in sharing our home with us! Thanks.

My name is jess and I've just left a 6 year government job as a social worker to chase my dream of running my own private practice counselling business. I can't afford to rent alone while the business is in it's early stages. I'm otherwise easy going and people are my passion. I love a good laugh and to get along with other people. I do possibly come with 2 very cute little dogs. A miniture poodle called Teddy and a westipoo called Harry.
Hamish and I are an independent and reserved couple, we are very committed to respecting the privacy of all tenants that we share a house with. We're both sociable and friendly individuals, who are more than happy to sit and have a chat over a cup of coffee or a few drinks. If you're someone who's out working night-shift and needs to sleep during the day, you've got nothing to worry about in terms of obnoxious amounts of noise; we are usually very quiet and spend most of our time together studying, watching tv or playing video games. In terms of cleanliness, we are very good at cleaning up after ourselves and sharing responsibility with household duties. Just a side note, we do have pets! First, we have a beautiful, well-trained German Shepherd called Tala. She doesn't go well with other girl dogs but she bonds very well with boys. Lastly, we own six rats who are pretty happy in their enclocure. We clean up after our animals just as well as we do ourselves, the rat cage is cleaned three times weekly to prevent any foul odor.
I'm funny and I work a lot : ) I am a student nurse so I can fix you if you are sick. Also I come with a bonus thermomix and large smart TV
I'm 21 years old and deferred from uni, working two jobs and looking for somewhere new to call home. I am an avid tea (and red wine) drinker, so if you allow me into your home you will always have an abundant collection tea (and wine) to choose from. When I'm not working I like to spend my time watching movies or cooking yummy food. I like the occasional night out but am definitely more of a homebody these days. I like live music, plants, winter, fireplaces and having a good laugh.
Fun and easy going, currently studying, Australian, looking for a nice place to stay with nice people :)
I am a neat and tidy veterinary nurse but enjoy spending time with and getting to know my housemates. I enjoy studying, reading and watching netflix.

Hi! My name is Storm and I'm 17 years old turning 18 in September. I currently do a few things for a living, the first being a manager at KFC and the second is owning and running a few businesses that are based online.

Another business I own is a Graphic & Web Design business, in which I work closely with businesses in and around Adelaide to improve their online presence and help with their backend software management. Other than that in my spare time, I enjoy investing in the stock market, going out with a few mates, watching & playing rugby, poker, and sleeping. I generally keep to myself, so if you're a fan of privacy I won't ever step on your shoes. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me!

Family ties are cherished things, forged in childhood days, by love of parents, deep and true, and sweet familiar ways.- Terri Burritt
Easter Sunday - a day to celebrate with our church families and a day to gather with our extended families. Thinking about Easter gatherings seems to fit right in with my Grandmother theme the last few weeks. Did you celebrate the holiday with your family? What traditional things do you do for Easter?
When my kids were young, we always went to my husband's parents house on Easter. The holiday was very important to my mother-in-law and she expected her children to come "home" on that Sunday. She loved having us all in church with her on Easter. She also enjoyed having a corsage on Easter. Ladies in the church wearing corsages on Easter used to be common, but it's been years since I've seen somebody show up with flowers pinned to their new Easter finery. Didn't see a single hat in church today either. No wait, one of our church kids who just turned two looked adorable in a very cute hat.
But when I was a teenager, hats were required church attire. All the ladies wore hats. I didn't like hats even then, but got by with wearing little veil hats that somebody told me were called whimsies. Gloves were expected too. No matter the weather. I had white gloves and tan gloves. Most people had on new clothes too. The kids in church today had new clothes, but it used to be everybody had a new Easter frock. In past years, I did a lot of sewing to get us ready for Easter. Now I just wear something I already have and don't even think about getting a new dress for Easter. I certainly don't think about sewing a new dress. It's been years since I sewed anything more than a ripped seam. So did you shop for new finery for Easter for yourself or your family? Or maybe fashion an outfit with your own needle?
Now, on Easter, my sons and their families usually make it home for a visit on Easter weekend. They came on Saturday this year and a good thing since we had a beautiful day of sunshine for the Easter egg hunt and then rain this a.m. It's absolutely amazing how fast seven kids can find one hundred plus stuffed plastic eggs. In the picture up top, they're waiting for the word go and posing for the camera. It is almost impossible to get nine kids to sit still and look at the camera all at the same time. But the photo op happened and the Easter egg hunt began. Then because it was such a nice day, we went for a walk. At least seven of the grandkids and one son and me. It's a challenge keeping that many kids moving forward along the same path and in the same direction.
But the grandkids love being on the farm. Walking in the fields is as fun to them as hunting those Easter eggs. Maybe more fun. They like finding new trails in under the trees and playing in dry creek beds. Well, they don't really care if the creek beds are dry or not, but their grammy does. The bottoms of tennis shoes are mud magnets that hold onto that dirt until they're walking around inside the house! But a little dried mud on the floor is a small price to pay for sharing farm fun with the kids. One of the twins did have to be disappointed and not get to go see the cows. He didn't think about asking his pa to take him until his parents were almost ready to go home.
So the weekend was good. Family home Saturday. Sunrise service this a.m. Fellowship breakfast. One son and his family came to church to help me pack our pew this morning. Leftovers for lunch, so I didn't have to cook. A little candy still hanging around that didn't go into a grandkid's sack. Sunshine to walk this p.m.
I am blessed. Did you get to gather with your family today?
Love your family. Spend time, be kind; serve one another. Make no room for regrets. Tomorrow is not promised; today is short.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
do you need to be caught with weed and a scale?
A text message is probably is enough to charge someone with a crime depending on the content of the message. A conviction based solely on a text message might seem unlikely, but without knowing the content of the message it's tough to say. There is certainly no requirement that you need to be caught with drugs and a scale.
If you've been charged with selling marijuana, the best thing you can do is contact an experienced local attorney. Your attorney will be able to evaluate the strength of the state's case and may even be able to suppress the evidence found in the text message.Ask a similar question
There is no requirement that you be caught "red handed". The DA needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you sold or gave away marijuana.
Text messages aren't the strongest evidence, but I've seen them used on multiple occasions.Ask a similar question
They can charge you, but it's very doubtful they can convict you based on a text message alone. There usually needs to be more evidence to convict, such as marked money, an observed sale, etc. Just talking about selling weed doesn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you sold weed. If you are charged with selling marijuana, feel free to call me for a free consultation. These are the kinds of cases that I love to fight. David Pullman 866-244-5004Ask a similar question

_Application.EnableCancelKey property
Controls how Microsoft Excel handles CTRL+BREAK (or ESC or COMMAND+PERIOD) user interruptions to the running procedure. Read/write XlEnableCancelKey.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll)
Property valueType: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlEnableCancelKey
XlEnableCancelKey can be one of these XlEnableCancelKey constants:
xlDisabled Cancel key trapping is completely disabled.
xlErrorHandler The interrupt is sent to the running procedure as an error, trappable by an error handler set up with an On Error GoTo statement. The trappable error code is 18.
xlInterrupt The current procedure is interrupted, and the user can debug or end the procedure.
Use this property very carefully. If you use xlDisabled, there's no way to interrupt a runaway loop or other code that is not self-terminating. Likewise, if you use xlErrorHandler but your error handler always returns using the Resume statement, there's no way to stop runaway code.
The EnableCancelKey property is always reset to xlInterrupt whenever Microsoft Excel returns to the idle state and there's no code running. To trap or disable cancellation in your procedure, you must explicitly change the EnableCancelKey property every time the procedure is called.

Macris Industries' LED lights offer boaters a unique feel and function
Mystic - Harrison Macris wants to make some waves in the boating industry by bringing modern lighting to the fore - and aft.
The 25-year-old Macris, a Stonington High School graduate who went on to earn engineering and entrepreneurship degrees at Boston University, has developed a new lighting system for boats that he says trumps the standard round fixtures with thick glass lenses.
"This is such a special technology," Macris said while giving a tour of his new, all-white office space at the Mystic Business Park that he began leasing just last month for his company Macris Industries.
The LED underwater lights that he and several associates, including older brother Constantine, have developed under the Macris Industries name come in thin, rectangular shapes and are powered by a lithium-ion battery. The flexible lights are housed within a strong composite material with an aluminum core that is extremely impact- and weather-resistant.
"We make them in all different colors," Macris said. "People like blue for their boats."
Ted Kelley of Mystic, a 76-year-old former yacht broker and marine photographer who claims to have "been around the buoys a few times," said he was a bit skeptical when Macris first came to him with his lighting idea. But the more he looked into other boat-lighting options, the stronger the realization that Macris was onto something, Kelley said.
"I realized he had something pretty unique," he said.
Kelley said that while other lights required the drilling of at least a one-inch hole for installation, the Macris product is designed so that only five-sixteenths of an inch is required. The light-emitting diodes of Macris' product mean there are no bulbs to burn out, reducing maintenance costs, he added.
What's more, Kelley said, light is known to attract fish at night, and the LED product puts out a glow that penetrates deeper in the water than traditional fare. Whether or not they draw fish, he added, the Macris lights make a boat look unique - a quality that should attract the sportfishing crowd.
The light strips are created using a proprietary system in which polymers are injected into a mold under vacuum conditions, leaving no air space for materials to expand or contract.
"It works in all temperatures," he said of the light-strip product. "It doesn't get brittle, it doesn't crack."
Macris Industries has a capacity of manufacturing up to 24 lighting strips a day as it gears up for the boating season, and the company is in talks with major suppliers such as West Marine as well as with local marinas and outboard installers to introduce the specially designed lights to the public.
Macris said the lights so far have been installed in about 10 boats, including on the launches at Dodson Boatyard in Stonington, and none has failed. The lights are easy to install because the strips flex with the curves of a boat, he reported.
"The big thing is getting them on boats before they're in the water," Macris said.
Macris, president and founder of Macris Industries, is the sole full-time employee of the company. He said four others come to help in their off hours, meaning many of the brainstorming sessions are held late at night.
"We are trying to bring a young, energetic, startup atmosphere to southeastern Connecticut, after spending time at companies in Boston, Cambridge and New York City," Macris said in an email.
While recreational boating is Macris' initial focus, he said the company eventually plans to expand in a variety of areas, including outdoor utility lights, security and military applications, deep-sea vehicles and search-and-rescue missions.
Macris installed lights onto the bottom of Voluntown Fire Department's search-and-rescue boat last summer in a body-recovery drill at Beach Pond. The rescue team has traditionally used spotlights to try to recover bodies at night in a time-consuming process, but Macris reported that the LED lights were much more efficient and led to a quick recovery.
Macris also foresees the possibility of developing an underwater light with motion sensors that would illuminate the water near a boat when intruders are detected.
Macris said he has decided to take a slow-growth approach to building his company, trying to perfect his product before launching into the marketing phase.
"I'm dedicated to keeping it local," Macris said. "We design all our circuit boards in house."
Lights come in 6-inch, 12-inch and 24-inch strips. The mid-range strip runs about $500 - more expensive than traditional boat lights, but cheaper in terms of the illumination it puts out, Macris said.
Smaller boats will require only two strips of lights, Macris said, while larger center-console vessels with two outboards might need three to five.
"With bigger boats, the sky's the limit," he said.

Blake Mason had been talking with Nathan B for some time about the possibility of him getting double fucked on camera. Even though he was more than willing to participate in such a scenario, it all came down to finding the right combination of bodies, cocks, and attitudes to pull it off. Then Matt B came along, and with him - RJ - and thus three of the sexiest UK cuties in the biz set about on an amazing suck and fuck session. Nathan B was of course in cock heaven the way he was able to take on both thick pieces of man rod. You can be sure that both Matt and RJ got their turns in both Nathan's holes!

Pregnancy blacking out over the last two weeks every time i stand up
Blacking out is not normal and you need to call your doctor right away. It is common for women to feel light headed and dizzy during pregnancy due to the blood flow and blood pressure changes in the body. If you are actually blacking out or passing out you need to call your doctor and get checked out. You might have a blood pressure issue going on that needs medical treatment

Shiro called Tamaki "a genius". I haven't laughed so hard at that scene since this show began. 8)
Otherwise, a regular Ouran episode. Funny and pretty, but not the best one so far.
PS: So, Haruhi's appeal to Hostobu visitor is tennen-kei (being natural?). Cute. 8)

Tamaki's reactions to Shirou's 'king' and 'genius' cracked me up!
U know what, I'm aware that the series is not abt romance, but u know the little hints of it that is more apparent in the anime than manga between Tamaki and Haruhi in earlier episodes, are no more there in these recent episodes, just made me wonder after watching 6. Do u think are pulling away from putting in their own touches, and following more accordingly to manga???

PS How did you all like Haruhi in the middle-school uniform? (heheh, the guys just can't resist trying to dress Haruhi up as a girl). If the anime does go to 26 eps, we should see a mini-flashback to how Haruhi actually was in middle-school (damn, she's sooo cute in this bit of the manga).

The manga has a lot of little touches that only really work in manga (ie little side-comments from the author or put-downs from other characters), though the anime has kept a number of them. Some little scenes have been cut out - eg, in the manga chapter this ep is based upon, Honey starts playing a recorder on entering his old classroom, but that was cut out. The anime has also added some small touches and in some cases changed the setting. As others have noted, in this ep Renge turns up to do some things Tamaki did in the manga. But this fits in okay since that's pretty much what she does in the manga anyway.
I'd expect the anime to keep going this way - ie changing minor stuff, but keeping the characters and story pretty much the same. In which case, fans hoping for Haruhi to hook up with Tamaki will be dissapointed. Instead, things will broaden a bit - and ep 9 should add another match-up option

Hm, this ep was indeed not as funny as the previous ones - I think it goes to show that a lot of this show depends on the precise directing and execution of the gags and storyline and intermixing of humour and drama... The nature of the show is that a lot of it is very graphical - so if the drawings aren't good enough and the timing is just a little off, it just isn't as funny.
This ep wasn't animated by BONES anyway, if you look at the credits the animation was produced by someone else (though the composite and background art are the same team).
Still - it's a heck of a lot funnier than most shows I've watched recently. Renge may have dragged a bit, but I simply love the way she appears on that gigantic contraption, it's so perfectly cheesy! And the twins + Tamaki's reaction to Haruhi telling them to zip up was well done. While it was predictable as to why Tamaki wanted Haruhi to do the undercover-middle-school-student act, I still got a kick seeing Kyouya tell it straight to his face .
But I swear, they're not just limiting the appeal of this show to girls... they've really put in a lot of effort on Haruhi, and it shows in the quality of drawing for her this episode. I think it's quite effective (though I'm not a guy!)

I wasn't a fan of this little bit in the manga, so I wasn't looking forward to this episode. I actually really liked Renge's taking over of what Tamaki did in the manga, I felt it was an improvement. Of course, I just think Renge is hilarious and am super glad she's got a bigger part in the anime.
Also, being a guy this is the first time that Haruhi was drawn with long hair that I didn't go "ick". I'd have to look closer to figure out what was different, but I have a final in the morning so it isn't a priority.

I've been very surprised with this episode because I thought it was a kind of filler and people seemed to hate the little rascal (poor boy heheh). In fact imho it was a Tamaki centered episode throwing some light to his complicated personality (so similar to the brat's ). My favorite moments:
It seems the battle between sun and moon is now in his highest if you know what I mean (eclipse?) . But like Tamaki says is good, good, very good because we can have the subs so fast. Thank you very much to all the fansubs for their great and hard work .

I didn't notice the studio details, but I nearly immediately noticed this episode has a much lower production value than the previous episodes. I know that it's to be expected, but I hope this is the exception to the general rule, rather than the future trend. The nature of Host club's humor, to a very large extent, hinges on the quality of its animation to pull off the gags.
Personally, this episode was a little disappointing to me. It just felt a little. . . filler. I know that's absurd since this show is pretty episodic to begin with, but this was simply the first episode that didn't strike me as brilliantly funny. However, I'm sure my overall impression of the animation enforced this opinion in me though.
Oh well, no show is perfect. Let's hope next week returns us to the brilliant heights of previous episodes.

Just wondering...
Did anyone notice a change in the Opening credits?
At the very start, when we first see Honey-sempai at the staircase, Renge appears for a brief moment, jumping up and down to get our attention.
It seems Renge is a permanent character now.

Renge is AWESOME! XD And I agree with Tamaki and the twins, middle-schooler-Haruhi is very cute. *points at new sig sliver*
About the brat... I wouldn't be as annoyed at him if he didn't end up with dozens of girls in his arms. Wait... I hope that isn't jealousy talking...

Ysker a complete package for Windom
ST. PAUL -- Windom's Megan Ysker may be listed as a setter on the roster, but her skills on a volleyball court go way beyond setting.
For her talents on the volleyball court, Ysker was named as a first team All-State player earlier this week.
"It's really exciting," Ysker said of the honor. "But I really didn't expect it."
While Ysker may have been surprised, her coach knew she was deserving.
"She's by far one of the best players in this part of the state, if not the state," Windom head coach Ron Wendorff said. "She's just a very gifted player and has a great attitude about the game. She never gets flustered and has a smile on her face all the time, and she has the quickest arm swing you'll ever see. She can jump really well and has soft hands on the set. She's a complete package, no doubt about it, she's just an awesome player."
For Wendorff, it's easy to see the love Ysker has for the sport.
"She loves the game; she's always playing it," Wendorff said. "It's something that she's worked hard at and she loves the sport. She's going to play a lot of volleyball for a long time somewhere."
In the Eagles' semifinal victory over Chisholm, Ysker showed how complete of a player she is. She scored seven straight points from the service line in the third game to spark her team's sweep over the Bluestreaks.
Ysker later admitted that she has worked on her serving this season.
"I think my serving has improved for me the most going through the year," Ysker said. "(The run) was pretty good. I really didn't know if I'd be on top of my game or not, but it proved that I did, and serving is part of everything."
The junior entered the state tournament with a team-leading 60 aces. She had six in Windom's opening-round victory over Wheaton.
However, Ysker does more than just serve. She is second on the team with 225 kills and also has 50 blocks, second only to Casey Christensen.
"We have her do everything for us. She's one of our best blockers when she's at the net, and obviously she's one of our strongest hitters," Wendorff said. "But she also sets the ball so darn well that you have to keep her setting the ball. She's a good defender, and of course the serving. There isn't anything that she doesn't do well. We use every aspect that we can of her."
Ysker had six kills in each of the first two matches at the state tournament, and had 17 set assists in the first match compared to 14 in the second. She said that being able to do one helps with the other.
"I think setting helps me with my hitting in the aspect of finding my hitters and everything," Ysker said. "I like hitting because it's more aggressive."
Listed as 5-10, Ysker thinks being tall allows her to hit as well as set.
"I think part of it is because I'm tall for the hitting part of it," Ysker said. "And I've been setting since I was in eighth grade."
Having a late growth spurt has also helped lead the Windom front line.
"She's gotten stronger and has grown about four inches in the last three years," Wendorff said. "She's one of those girls that grew later on."
Earlier this season, Ysker reached a setting milestone as she recorded her 1000th career set assist.
"It was actually homecoming week," Ysker said of her accomplishment. "It was cool because it's been my dream ever since I started setting to get my 1000th set assist."
With one more victory, the Eagles and Ysker will accomplish another dream: a state championship.
"I'm excited for tomorrow and the championship game," Ysker said. "I think my setting is going to have to really dominant to try and find my hitters, and hitting wise, try to get off my shots. We're pretty much on top of our game."
Windom will have to continue to play well against a tough Bethlehem Academy squad. But Wendorff said that having Ysker will be an advantage.
"She's going to have to play very well, and to be honest with you, I think that's the one thing that we have that they don't," Wendorff said. "I don't think they have anyone quite as strong as she is in all those parts of the game. We expect her to have a good game, and if she does, we're going to be just fine."

About vamecum
vamecum posted a topic in Math and PhysicsI am sure this is really really simple, but still.. I have a tcb spline which has keyframes with a time value between 0(start) and 1(end). I can get a point on the spline with spline.getData(t). Now, I have an object which I want to move along the spline with constant speed. however, since the the spatial distance between two points is not relative to the time-frame between them, it's not that easy to do. 0 0.5 1.0 a---b----------------------c illustrated here, with a,b,c as keys and -'s representing spatial distance. the number is the key's time. now my current solution is to calculate the entire(spatial) length of the spline, and then calculate the spatial length from key 0 to key n and set that key's time to thisLength/TotalLength; Is there an easier way? Also currently, I'm not sure if this method is working correctly either, but it seems kind of close. I'm currently calculating spline length by step-throughing at small intervals and adding up deltas. if anyone know an analytic way of doing it, please let me know. I tried to look at arc length on wikipedia, but I'm not sure how to integrate the expression.
vamecum replied to vamecum's topic in General and Gameplay Programmingthanks for your input. Yes, the ray-firing approuch seems to be the easiest one and most common. for the rails of the track I envision using a sphere against a regular spline (tcb or catmull is the one's I've thought about). the track would of course need to be divided into zones. I'm not so sure that a whole octree is needed, but anyways some zoning mechanism to avoid checking all polygons all the time.
vamecum posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHi! We're in the preproduction of our student project. A futuristic racer for next-generation embedded devices (GL ES 2.0) Our vehicles will be hover-cars like in f-zero or wipeout. that is, they will float above the tracks. The tracks is at the moment thought out to be a spline surface, at least when working with it in the track tool. so, the mathematics of a spline surface allows us to access it by (u,v) and get out a point, and get the tangent by derivation. The question is, is this feasible for automagic collision response? I imagine it being possible to move the car around the track by changing uv coords and use derivation to get a normal to the point the car is it, and use this normal to push the car above the track. And is there anyone who has an idea if this will be a better solution than a track with zones and a low polycount track and solving the problem with ray-to-polygon?
vamecum replied to vamecum's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingQuote:Original post by hplus0603 It may be using keys other than keytype POS, perhaps? Did you evaluate all the different key types? Also, they just released version 2.2 of IGame -- it contains lots of bug fixes (including several annoying crashers); I highly recommend upgrading! You are completely right! After smacking my head realising how stupid I'd been not to just do a loop-querry of all types, I promptly did so. Revealing, the position controllers to be seperated into x,y,z channels. So now I know why I've been having problems. thanks a lot :)
vamecum posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi! I'm doing an exporter using the IGame interface. The code is working allright in most respects, except exporting the keyframes. I seem to only get the objects keyframes through the quickSampleKey and/or sampleKey functions. When I ask for the keyframes directly like i.e int num=pGameContr->GetIGameKeyCount(IGAME_POS); it just returns 0. Have anyone else been annoyed with this problem and found a solution other than full-sampling? Hope some of you knows, looking forward to answers. (I use max 8 and max8 sdk)
vamecum replied to vamecum's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingUry, Amazing thanks for pointing me towards that. The game looks cool, their slime seems to be in 2d though, so it's a bit easier to get to run in real-time.
vamecum replied to vamecum's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThe siggraphpaper looks amazing. getting it to run in realtime however, might be tricky. At least now I have somewhere to grab inspiration from :)
vamecum posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI am interested in if anyone has seen slime being done good. The effect I'm thinking of is sort of like this, you have an object, and then you get slimy stuff running down from it. kind of like this . http://bi0matrix.home.insightbb.com/slimeball.jpg What technique would be best to simulate/fake this? I'm thinking perhaps marching cubes or some implicit surface modelling like that, can be used to create good looking goo. Hope someone has thought of this effect, and has some inputs.
vamecum posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi! I am creating a simple little scene-graph-like system and currently I'm at a test-phase where I'm trying to get it to playback some animation I've exported from 3ds max using the IGame interface. However, I've run into some major problems, and at the moment, I have no idea where they come from. is it the way IGame exports its data? , is it my code that's horribly wrong? I am not sure. Everynode in my scenegraph has a local-translation and a local 3x3 matrix for rotation , as well as world data for these. When I'm going down in my scenegraph, I do.. (*node)->update(t,*parent); which updates the data for that node.

vamecum replied to vamecum's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingActually it was a bug with the stacking mechanism of FBO's. It's working now, except that there is some minor issues with with projection/viewport setup for the textures, but that'll be ironed out in a jiffy. Yes the paper is really interesting and I'm hoping to have it up and running tonight.
vamecum posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi! I'm trying to implement recursive planar reflections. http://wscg.zcu.cz/wscg2002/Papers_2002/E5.pdf In my rendering (drawScene), I render it recursivley when I find the object I'm rendering is a reflector. The problem with this, is that I don't seem to have found a nice way to "nest" rendering to texture calls. i.e rttBegin(0); rttBegin(1); rttEnd(1); rttEnd(0); What I'm doing at the moment, is stacking things. so that when rttBegin(1) is called, it stacks the framebuffer (each object has it's own framebuffer, depthbuffer and texture id), and when rttEnd(1) is called, it calls upon continueRtt(0), which enables object 0's framebuffer. My problem, of course, is that this does not seem to work. is there a nice way to do this? I would really appreciate some help as the democompo deadline is approaching. :) Thanks in advance! oh and why would I want to write code like this? beacuse I would like to do, rttBegin(0); rttBegin(1); rttEnd(1); rttBind(1); rttEnd(0); etc.
vamecum posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI've decided to learn how to write code off tech-texts,articles and books. So by reading up on moving sphere-Polygon collision detection in the book, I went on to implement it. I've debugged it for sometime and I've discovered that it's likely that two, or at least one of the three tests involved have issues. The book? : http://www.realtimerendering.com/rtr2ed.jpg It seems that , sphere on plane?-> intersectionPoint inside polygon?-> return true; works The other two that I'm really wondering if is working correctly, is: moving sphere->polygon edge and moving sphere->polygon vertex. They seem to work most of the time, but most of the time is not all the time. So, I ask, is there anyone who have tried to implement their method described in the book, and implemented it successfully? I hope I could get some help :) Thank you!

Talking Open Streets and Ciclovias
Lydon is the Founding Principal of The Street Plans Collaborative, an urban planning, advocacy and design firm, and is also a blooger on Planetizen Interchange.
"City / Culture: You've compiled a timeline that shows when different North American cities adapted open streets initiatives. The timeline shows 35 cities and one state (Kentucky) having added events since 2008, as compared to seven cities from 1970-2007. What changed?
Mike Lydon: There are lots of converging issues. One, the repopulating of cities, and the desire of people interested in living in cities to make them more livable. There's a whole public health side of things – getting more active and healthy walking and biking opportunities plays into that. You see community activists reclaiming the streets from automobiles, making them more multi-purpose, so they can meet more needs.
When a city starts setting a new precedent for an exciting and very significant solution to a problem, a lot of cities tend to follow. We call those early cities, "pattern cities." Bogotá is a pattern city in South America, and other cities follow suit, and that wisdom filtered up to North America. Now you see many more overt efforts and intents to integrate bicycling and walking into initiatives throughout North American cities."

This is the first in a series of posts about my trip to the USS Abraham Lincoln this coming weekend. I will fly out and land on the carrier and spend 24 hours with the men and women on the USS Lincoln. I'll share with you my first-hand experience aboard this proud ship and what I learned.
The trap wire.
It's what stands between a Navy carrier pilot and the sea below him. Miss the wire (actually called arresting wires), and you could end up wet or worse. It's why Navy fliers are the best in the world.
This coming Sunday, I get to land on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln and feel the trap wire grab and stop us atop its welcoming deck.
As a blogger, PR and social media professional, this opportunity is one of the most exciting and anticipated I've ever had. To be able to actually fly and land on an aircraft carrier at sea is something not many people on this planet get to experience. Add to the that spending some quality time with the men and women of the United States Navy, and I am truly honored.
Why exactly am I being afforded this opportunity and why should you care?
The Navy has done an outstanding job of using both public relations and social media to share with Americans what it does on a daily basis and the extraordinary hard work the men and women in our armed forces do on a daily basis. They're on the front lines of protecting our country every day and do so at sea, away from their families and loved ones.
In order for Americans back home to see just how amazing these sailors are, the Navy allows a number of dignitaries, journalists, bloggers and professionals to take part in these trips and write about them. Not only write but snap pictures, take videos and live like the sailors live for just over 24 hours. By "walking in their shoes†we can tell the folks back home just how amazing and dedicated our men and women are.
Being an aviation buff as a kid, this trip is going to be exciting to me personally. I've always admired the crews on these floating cities and their experience is a unique one. I am looking forward to chronicling that and sharing with you the sites, sounds and people of the USS Lincoln.
Stay tuned for some great content, photos, videos and interviews coming here on Every Other Thursday.com next week.
Don't think we'll be able to Tweet or update our Facebook status while we're out there, but in case, follow me @sdgully.
A special thanks again to Andy Sernovitz from the Social Media Business Council for arranging this trip for me and my fellow participants.
[…] Scott Gulbransen shares my passion for aviation and is excited to experience his first trap wire. […]

Concordance between vocal and genetic diversity in crested gibbons
Gibbons or small apes are, next to great apes, our closest living relatives, and form the most diverse group of contemporary hominoids. A characteristic trait of gibbons is their species-specific song structure, which, however, exhibits a certain amount of inter- and intra-individual variation. Although differences in gibbon song structure are routinely applied as taxonomic tool to identify subspecies and species, it remains unclear to which degree acoustic and phylogenetic differences are correlated. To trace this issue, we comparatively analyse song recordings and mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence data from 22 gibbon populations representing six of the seven crested gibbon species (genus
The acoustic analysis of 92 gibbon duets confirms the hypothesised concordance between song structure and phylogeny. Based on features of male and female songs, we can not only distinguish between
The results show that the structure of crested gibbon songs is not only a reliable tool to verify phylogenetic relatedness, but also to unravel geographic origins. As vocal production in other nonhuman primate species appears to be evolutionarily based, it is likely that loud calls produced by other species can serve as characters to elucidate phylogenetic relationships.
A striking feature of gibbon songs is the fact that they are species-specific and evolutionarily based. Hence, gibbon songs became a promising tool to identify the taxon affiliation and to describe evolutionary relationships among taxa
In most gibbon species, both males and females sing together

The stepwise DFA needed 14 out of the 53 acoustic parameters to achieve this classification result. The DFA included acoustic parameters of both sexes, six parameters of the multi-modulated male call (parameters: 1, 11, 14, 19, 23, 28) and eight parameters of the female great call (parameters: 31, 33, 34, 40, 41, 43, 47, 50; for description see Additional File

Since the early study of Marshall and Marshall
There are not many possibilities to explain our second finding, the high correlation between acoustic structure and geographic distance. The structure of animal vocalisations is under different selective forces, such as body size, habitat characteristic or different functions
From our acoustic result we cannot conclude the origin of crested gibbons, because we have no evidence, which song structure is most ancestral. However, we found the largest differences in the song structure between the most northern and most southern species with successive gradation between them. This fits very well with the proposed hypothesis that the genus originated in the north and successively migrated to the south
In this study, we have shown that in crested gibbons, vocal diversity correlates with genetic relatedness and geographic distance. Accordingly, acoustic analyses provide a reliable tool to support taxon-affiliation and to settle distributional ranges. Furthermore, the acoustic analysis is able to support proposed migration backgrounds. Because other nonhuman primate species have similar constraints in vocal production, it is likely that also in other primate species, loud calls can function as valuable tool to explain taxonomic relations and migration backgrounds.

Acoustic analysis
Crested gibbon songs consist of phrases from both sexes. Males produce three different phrases including boom, staccato and multi-modulated phrases, and females so-called great call phrases only (Figure
We used AVISOFT SASLAB Pro (R. Specht, Berlin, Germany) to generate spectrograms and to calculate acoustic parameters. To find the point with maximum energy at the beginning, ending and anchor points of notes in the frequency spectrum, we used the free reticule cursor tools of AVISOFT (frequency range: up to 500 kHz, frequency resolution: app. 8 Hz, time resolution: 16 ms). In total, we calculated 53 acoustic parameters describing the temporal and frequency structure of male and female gibbon phrases. A detailed description how we measured the acoustic parameters are given in Figure

Statistical analysis
We conducted two DFAs to statistically verify the observations as obtained from the general acoustic descriptions for the six analysed species and to test whether the four southern species, which are not separable by the general acoustic description, can be assigned correctly by the calculated acoustic parameters. We calculated mean values per group using 440 great calls and 447 multi-modulated male calls (population numbers 1-24, see Figure
To test the statistical relationship between acoustic structure, and genetic and geographic distance matrices, we used a Mantel test as implemented in GenAlex

Since the Charleston shooting last month, liberals have been on a mission to get the Confederate flag banned from as many places as they can.
Nevermind the fact that the Confederate flag had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting; a little fact like this means nothing to idiot liberals! They just want action of any kind, whether it's actually relevant to the shooting or not.
Last weekend, NASCAR had their first race in the South since the organization urged their fans not to display the Confederate flag. Unfortunately for them, many of the fans weren't having any of it.
"It kills me that NASCAR is jumping on the bandwagon," said 55-year-old NASCAR fan Paul Stevens. "They should just let it pass, let everything die down. But NASCAR is too quick to try to be politically correct like everybody else."
According to The Blaze, Daytona and 29 other speedways stopped short of banning the flags completely, but asked their fans to refrain from flying the Confederate flag. They even set up a booth at the speedway to exchange Confederate flags for American flags.
"I think the voluntary exchange program for us right now was appropriate with the limited window that we had coming into this event weekend," track president Joie Chitwood said. "And more importantly, I think it's important to trust our fans, asking our fans to display a flag that we should all be proud of. Everybody should be proud of the American flag."
The American flag was definitely displayed far more prominently among the NASCAR fans than the Confederate flag was. However, some fans explained that the Confederate flag is a simple of Southern patriotism to them.
"It's just a Southern pride thing," 66-year-old Larry Reeves explained. "It's nothing racist or anything. I've been doing this for 30 years. My family is from Alabama and we've been going to Talladega forever. It isn't a Confederate thing so much as it is a NASCAR thing. That's why I fly it."
"It's not a big deal one way or the other," Reeves continued. "If I can't fly it, I won't. But if I don't have to take it down, I'm just going to leave it up."
Reeves wasn't the only fan to explain that the Confederate flag isn't about racism at all.
"The Confederate flag has absolutely nothing to do with slavery. It has nothing to do with divisiveness. It has nothing to do with any of that," said NASCAR fan Steven Rebenstorf. "It was just a battle banner until the Ku Klux Klan draped it around themselves. Now, all of a sudden, it represents slavery and that's not at all true."
