This is an affiliate program banner - registering for design3 will also help benefit GameDev.net!
[/center]As most of you are probably aware, the Source Software Development Kit (SDK) has recently been made available for free. In honor of this release, the design3 team wants to exclusively share a tutorial with the GameDev community that will teach you how to make a single player mod for Half Life 2: Episode 2 (a game supported by the free Source SDK). Without further adieu, we present to you design3's "Source Choreography & In-Game Cinematics" tutorial.
Source Choreography & In-Game Cinematics
In these 27 chapter videos you'll explore Valve's dynamic Faceposer toolset to develop choreographed NPC sequences. These will include custom dialog, facial animation, and blended gestures - each containing multiple actors, conditionals, and events.
Various sequences are then connected and additional interactivity can be integrated via the powerful input/output response system in Hammer for endless possibilities. You can even harness the in-game camera to dictate how players can, or should, experience the action as it unfolds.
Let's get started...
First you'll need to download the support files.
Chapter 1 - Getting Started
A detailed overview of what will be learned in the following chapters.
Chapter 2 - Creating A Mod In The SDKLearn to create a mod for the source engine using the SDK.
Chapter 3 - Running The GameStart up Half Life 2 and learn to activate the developer console.
Chapter 4 - Copying Server & Client DllsSee how to copy the server and client DLLs into your own mod folder.
Chapter 5 - Extracting ContentLearn to extract materials and models for your mod using GCFScape.

Chapter 10 - Creating Sound ScriptsCreate scripts so that your game can locate and play your custom sound files.
Chapter 11 - Creating CaptionsLearn to create captions for your sound files. This allows players to read the dialog text and follow along to what is going on in your game more closely.
Chapter 12 - Overview & SetupFamiliarize yourself with the Face Poser tool within the Source SDK.
Chapter 13 - Lip SyncingUsing Face Poser, sync your character's lips to the dialog of your custom sound files.
Chapter 14 - Hammer Input Output SystemUsing the Object Properties menu, you'll learn to use outputs and inputs for Half Life 2.
Chapter 15 - Logic Choreographed Scene SetupLearn how Face Poser communicates with Hammer to make your scene function properly.
Chapter 16 - Character Motion & GesturesUsing the info_target entity you'll learn to trigger your character's movements and gestures while building your scenes.
Chapter 17 - Combining AnimationsIn this chapter learn how to combine two animations to create completely new ones. This is useful if you don't plan to create your own custom animations for use in Half Life 2.
Chapter 18 - Adding CharactersMost scenes in your games will have more than one NPC interacting with your main character. In this section you'll learn to create additional characters and give them a part to play in your scene.
Chapter 19 - Facial AnimationsUsing flex sliders and custom expressions you'll learn to create unique facial animations for your characters.
Chapter 20 - Looping & RelaysUsing the logic_choreographed_scene entity, learn about loops and relays that will further allow the player to interact with objects and triggers in the scene.
Chapter 21 - Troubleshooting MethodsLearn several ways to troubleshoot problems you might encounter while modding in Half Life 2.
Chapter 22 - Responses SystemsCreate an AI response system that will fire off responses when a player interacts with an NPC.

BREAKING: Watchdog Group Files Hatch Complaint Against Interior Secretary Salazar
An official Hatch Act complaint has been filed over U.S. Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar's recent campaign trip to Colorado, The Colorado Observer reported. As previously reported by both The Colorado Observer and Media Trackers, Salazar may have violated the Hatch Act when his official title of Secretary of the Interior was used at an Obama campaign event.
According to the Observer, "Cause of Action, a Washington-based firm, said it asked to [sic] the Office of Special Counsel to evaluate Salazars activities and statements at a campaign event sponsored by the Montrose County Democratic Party on Oct. 5."
This is the same event where Salazar was headlined and billed as Secretary of Interior, as seen in the screenshot of the Montrose County Democratic Party calendar at the left.
Before Cause of Action filed the official complaint, The Colorado Observer attempted to confirm whether Salazar knew his government title had been used for the event. The Colorado Observer contacted Kathryn Carson of the Montrose County Democratic Party to ask whether the Party had sent an invitation to Salazar's office in D.C.
In response, Carson denied knowledge of any invitation or who sent it, the Observer reported.
According to the Observer's report, the communications director for the Department of Interior has also denied any wrongdoing by Salazar, insisting that the Secretary was acting only in his personal capacity and that the Montrose County Democratic Party has been unresponsive to calls.
As previously reported, Hatch Act complaints have risen sharply in the last decade, as have warning letters issued by the Office of Special Counsel – which handles complaints regarding potential Hatch Act violations. Complaints and warning letters have risen 144% and 178% respectively since 2001, according to a Daily Caller article from September.
Media Trackers Colorado filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all documents surrounding Salazar's travel to and from Colorado in order to campaign for President Obama. Additionally, Media Trackers requested any calendar information relating to any official business the Secretary may have engaged in while on this trip. Acknowledgement of the FOIA request was received on October 12.
When contacted this afternoon for comment, the FOIA office said it was, "waiting on documentation from one other group/person/office" before they "will be able to start to process the request from our end to get it to you." When asked how long Media Trackers could expect to wait for the additional documentation, the FOIA representative advised that they had no way to tell, considering that they are waiting on a response from outside their own office.

Tips for Success
TIPS FOR SUCCESS IN OCR!! The next steps require time and commitment to the Job Search. Try to work it into your daily schedule to stay on top of postings and deadlines. Ultimately, you are responsible for your search and your ability to stay organized will be key to your success.
1. Watch the CES Job Board regularly…
Check out all the postings as some employers post directly to our site.
READ the postings carefully to determine the correct application process as they can vary from posting to posting. Some are direct applies, others require you to submit applications through our office. Application deadlines will be late in September and interviews on campus will begin in October.
If you are searching for FULL TIME Positions beginning in May, search for "New Grad Opportunities" on the CES Job Board
Summer Positions can be found by searching for "Summer"
2. BE SURE your applications are complete
The posting will also outline what is required in your application package (e.g. resume, cover letter, transcripts)..
YOU are responsible for submitting everything required by the employer. Tailor your cover letter for each position, make sure your letters and application forms are signed.
3. Don't miss the DEADLINES!!
YOU can't compete if you don't get your applications in on time! Read the posting carefully for the correct application. Late submissions will generally NOT be accepted.
4. Where do I submit my application?
EACH posting will tell you where to submit your application. Be sure to follow the employer's instructions. They may ask you to email your applications directly to them or apply online through their website. In a few cases they may ask you to submit through our office. In that case CES woll forward the applications to the employer for pre-screening
5. Interviews
If you are shortlisted you will be contacted either by the employer or by CES. If CES is setting the interview schedule we will email you to come in or call us to schedule a time. If you are not in Lethbridge we will do what we can to make arrangements with the employer to have you interviewed in Calgary or Edmonton.
OCR postings are only a small number of the opportunities that actually exist for new grads. We encourage you to be proactive by extending your job search far beyond those employers who come to campus.
Take control of your work search, be proactive and get the competitive edge!!

In April 2011, I had been a Lauren's Hope customer for a while already, and I was excited to share my family's story on the LH blog. Jenna White interviewed me about my little family, my son's autism, and why I believe so strongly that children with autism need to wear medical ID jewelry at all times.

Well, My friend is going to give me a DROID from Verizon. I'm already in T-Mobile, but he's from Verizon. Can I switch it to T-Mobile?
To my knowledge you will not be able to use it on T-mobile's network due to it not running a SIM card.
this is correct Verizon has a CDMA network. which does not use sim cards..
Which DROID are you talking about? Certain ones can be used on T-Mobile as they do use a Sim card and also have GSM/UMTS radios in them. However if you are talking about the Motorola device that was released in 2008(I believe) then it will not work.
Hey aznkiddo816,
Outside of the Iphone, Verizon phones use the CDMA network. This means that they do not use sim cards and there is no place to insert a sim card. If you are looking for an unlocked Droid phone,I would look at a AT&T unlocked device.
I hope this helps
Thanks for posting
AFAIK It IS possible IF you have the DROID series released in 2011 as they are worldphones. Just make sure it is unlocked. I'm not sure though if a third party other than VZW can unlock them.
pretty much all "Droid" Verizon phones are World phones in 2011 and on, but some of them pre-2011 are world phones as well. Droid 2 Global for example.
So I can't use it? I seen my friend's SIM card on Verizon though. So there's no point, and I cannot connect it to T-Mobile?
It has to be a world phone prior to 2011. We need to know the exact model he has to know for sure. Chances are if it's one of the pre-2011 then I would say no unless it's a Droid 2 Global.
I have an unlocked Verizon Droid DNA and I am using it with my T-Mobile SIM card. I can only get EDGE signal and some of my features don't work without a Verizon SIM card. So if u receive the phone for free then it's worth a try.
The HTC Droid DNA is unlocked and takes a SIM card. I am using a tmobile SIM but I cant usr all the features like hot spot.
Can I used Verizon Iphone 4S with IOS 8.1 for T-mobile?

There is something so compelling about the idea of a monochrome interior. For one thing, it takes a lot of the guesswork out of choosing things for the home. Is it black, white, or worth the pop of color? If not, scrap it! The idea of living in such a restrained space seems like it must also be, counterintuitively, somewhat liberating—it's a place free of visual clutter, a place that provides drama and beauty through graphic punches and thoughtfully curated white space. I spend my fair share of time perusing home blogs that promote this brand of monochrome/scandinavian style (oh, hey, Door Sixteen, Emma's Designblogg, Design & Form, and A Merry Mishap!), and oftentimes I find myself wishing for a one-stop-shop for all things monochrome. WELL—as it just so happens, now there is one! Enter The Minimalist, an Australia-based shop featuring unique, pared-down designs hand-picked from around the globe. As I browsed through The Minimalist's stateside web shop, I found myself coveting practically every single thing I came across, mentally furnishing my fantasy Black & White dream home. Check out more photos of The Minimalist's minimalist wares after the jump! —Max
Love love. This is so welcome in an enviroment like mine where everybody throws their stuff at me and bombs me with their massive load of thoughts. Thanks.
A monochrome interior in black and white is my dream! Dealing with color and design all day I sometimes long for a calm organized black and white home!
Mmmm. Clean and sophisticated…and dreamy.
Great stuff! Creating a pleasing monochrome interior is not as easy as it seems. If done right the result is pure and serene. White is also clean and relaxing. We just finished an apartment in white, where the challenge was to incorporate multiple functions to a small space. Choosing a monochromatic color scheme helped in making the space feel larger.
LOVE!!! Clean and absolutely refreshing!
that "love" art print = so fab!!
I'm really loving the colors in this. Black and white together make an excellent look.

Brooks is teaching a course on humility using his own columns.

This year the Black History Month Citizen of the Year goes to a lady who has been an inspiration to many people in the community. She is rather quiet until you get to know her and never does anything for "show" or a "pat on the back."

The Kentucky General Assembly passed the halfway point of the 2013 Legislative Session this past week, yet several major issues are left to be resolved.
On Thursday the House State Government Committee heard testimony on Senate Bill 2, which deals with much needed reforms to our state and local government public pension systems. However the committee only discussed the proposal, and didn't vote to pass it out of committee.
Three fire departments battled a barn fire Saturday afternoon on Carter Brothers Road.
About 3 p.m., LaRue County Fire Department was dispatched to the fire. Buffalo and Valley Creek departments were sent as backup.
Lindon Nevins said he was helping his son work on a car in the barn. Some gasoline made contact with a heater inside the building "and that's all it took."
Nevins fought the fire before firefighters arrived, blistering his arm and singeing his hair.
For the third year in a row, the LaRue County School District was named as one of the top 10 places to work in Kentucky.
The results came from a survey conducted by Workplace Dynamics that invited companies in three divisions – small (fewer than 100 employees), medium (100-400), and large (greater than 400) - to participate.
Employees responded using a seven-point scale to answer questions about their workplace with their responses ranging from strongly agreeing to strongly disagreeing.
For the second year, the LaRue County Relay for Life County Committee is sponsoring a dinner to honor those in the community who count themselves as cancer survivors.
About 100 invitations were mailed this past week to known survivors, but the actual number of survivors is unknown in the county, according to Survivor Chair Kathy Ross.
Ian Mather, student at the Savannah College of Art and Design and LCHS 2011 graduate, competed as part of SCAD's improv group Mobb Line in the south regional College Improv Tournament.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
You Can Lead A Reporter to Water, But You Can't Make Him Call It A Spending Increase
If I spend $100,000 a year, and I spend it on a whole bunch of garbage -- CDs from stupid American Idol contestants, trips to Atlantic City, etc. -- it's a whole lot better for me if I reorient my budget to spend my money on a downpayment for a new house at a cutrate deal, as well as Springsteen CDs (instead of Idol folks) and trips of value to see friends and family. I might still spend $96,000, but I've spent it a lot more wisely.That's what Gates is trying to do.
Ummm. Ok. I'm as big a Springsteen fan as anybody. But if we're sticking with this analogy, then the idea is that Gates is buying so many Springsteen CDs this year that he's actually increasing his annual spending to $104,000. A four percent growth, as the reader noted. At about $20 a pop, that's a lot of copies of Nebraska--which may or may not be worth it, but, to quote Kane, that's what Gates is trying to do.
Late update: Not to pile on Paul Kane here, but I want to highlight an exchange that occurred earlier in the web chat. The same questioner I quoted above initially asked his or her question a little bit differently: "I keep hearing the GOP gasbags and their media enablers decrying those HUGE defense budget cuts. But I'd like to echo Jon Stewart, 'On what planet is a four percent spending increase a huge cut?!?'"
Kane dismissed this out of hand: "your entire premise is wrong."
This is not at all a partisan issue. You have to understand this is a totally parochial issue, for Dems and Rs. You'll see Dems on the Hill going to the mat to save their defense programs just as much as the Rs. In fact, given their ties to the president, the stakes will be higher for congressional Dems to save their defense projects.
In fact, the premise of the question is perfectly legitimate. And Kane's response is a perfectly legitimate response...to an entirely different, and unasked, question.
If you take a look back at our coverage of this skirmish, you'll notice the two phenomena--the one described by the questioner, and the one Kane alludes to in his answer--overlap each other. Democrats and Republicans alike are criticizing Gates for threatening to kill programs in their districts, but, for the most part, only Republicans are mischaracterizing the entire plan at the same time.
Take a look for yourself, if you like. It's a pretty striking pattern. You'll find plenty of Democrats--from Blue Dogs to Chris Dodd--criticizing particular cuts. But almost none of them are construing the Gates plan as an overall soft-on-defense spending cut. That effort belongs to Republicans--and they've enjoyed plenty of help in the last couple days from the mainstream media.

Alec Baldwin's wife, Hilaria, is pregnant
Alec Baldwin is going to be back on diaper duty before long! The "30 Rock" actor's wife, Hilaria Baldwin, (formerly Hilaria Thomas) is pregnant, she announced to Extra on Tuesday.
"We're having a baby!" the New York yoga instructor, 28 exclaimed. Due this summer, it's the first child for Hilaria, who wed Baldwin, 54, in June 2012. Alec is already dad to Ireland, his 17-year-old daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
The pregnancy was "a surprise, a wonderful surprise," the mom-to-be told Extra, explaining that she took a test at the couple's country home without telling her husband. Upon getting a positive test result? "There's a scream I heard, which is a scream normally reserved [for] if there's a spider in the house," Alec recalled.
"He runs up the stairs and I'm holding [the pregnancy test] and showing it to him," Hilaria added.

"It really is the most amazing thing, I'm lucky," the second-time dad-to-be gushed.
"I'm showing," Hilaria added. "This is actually gonna happen, now we can start the nursery, the everything, the dreaming!"
Emmy winner Alec -- '30 Rock' aired its final episode last month -- has been dropping major hints about his desire to become a stay-at-home dad.
"I keep telling my future wife that I want her to get rich because I want to retire. She teaches yoga. I want her to become the world's first billionaire yoga teacher," Baldwin, 54, told Wonderwall in June just before their New York nuptials. "I know it is a long shot, but that's the plan I'm sticking with right now. I want to have a baby and stay home and make the pancakes before I send my wife out to work every day to pay the bills."

From Computational Biology Group
Deletion, insertion and duplication events giving rise to copy number variations (CNVs) have been found genome-wide in the humans and other species.
Such genomic aberrations were identified already more than a decade ago using array-based comparative hybridization. They can also be detected using
data from SNP genotyping arrays, typically by combining the intensities of the two probes for a given SNP and comparing to the same SNP from other arrays (thus deriving a copy number ratio).
Significant shift from the baseline (unit ratio or zero log ratio) reflects copy number changes. Such changes can be identified in many ways, for example, one can use segmentation algorithms to partition the signal then try to classify such segments into gain, copy neutral and loss status.
Yet, for large datasets, one can take advantage of the signal distribution at each SNP, and cluster each individual from the distribution into a component that would reflect a given copy number change.
We developped a Gaussian Mixture Model, which detect copy number variation from the distribution of copy number ratios. From the data, it will fit one component for each of the following copy number states: deletion, copy-neutral, 1 and 2 additional copy; with a constraint on the difference between the mixture means. Then for a given individual, it will determine the probabilities for each copy number state and compute the expected copy number (dosage).
The GMM algorithm is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later. For details, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html.
The GMM can be applied to identify CNVs from any rectangular matrix of copy number ratio.

In the old days, music industry insiders could get a pretty good idea of what was happening in "the biz" by watching various gatekeepers in radio, television and retail. Today's socially-networked music scene presents greater opportunity to analyze anonymous listening usage, but it's harder than ever to keep tabs, as fickle audiences migrate between online music outlets — many of which offer similar catalogs.
BigChampagne gets real-time data feeds deeper than what is surfaced to consumers on various services: iTunes, broadcast radio, Last.fm, retail outlets, Rhapsody, and file-sharing networks. It collates this data so that music and marketing people from interns to executives can see what we're listening to on various networks, allowing them to plan tours, choose singles, and figure out where to advertise.
As of Wednesday, BigChampagne is presenting this information in a new, modular dashboard, with elements that can be dragged around, reconfigured, and saved into tabbed views. The service costs $2,000/month and up, depending on the size of the organization and the depth of the data it wishes to access. Garland said that at the high end, companies pay seven figures to access this data over a multi-year period. But the company recently gave free access to assorted analysts and journalists — present company included — so we can give you a sneak peak at how record company insiders and teams of marketers are tracking the music we download, purchase, and stream.
"The big evolution here is that we're now trying to stay on top of all of the ways in which people are consuming music, in one place," explained BigChampagne CEO Eric Garland, adding that the previous incarnation of BigChampagne was more of a static, Billboard chart-like interface.
Say a marketer has discovered that fans of the band Kings of Leon have a particular affinity for the beer brand she represents. According to the above-right screenshot, taken on Tuesday, she should consider seeking out users of Last.fm, Napster, iTunes and Rhapsody, but not file sharing networks (represented by the TopSwaps category) or Yahoo Music, where the song didn't make the top ten.
The version of the BigChampagne dashboard given to journalists doesn't include everything some other users get, because the tracked music service providers can decide to make some data — merchandise sale, touring info, and so on — invite-only. (The company has made two services — Breaking News and Tweetstream — available to the public.)
No one who uses BigChampagne is allowed to see how these services perform against each other. Is MySpace gaining or losing ground relative to P2P? That would be helpful information for anyone covering the space, but the tool does not track it because the sites and networks that contribute their data won't do allow it because that data has such clear potential to make them look bad.
But in terms of tracking songs, albums and videos on the services, BigChampagne's music panopticon does a fine job of summing it up in a neat package to give insiders an easy way to see what's going on in their world.
For instance, here are the 30 songs that U.S.-based file sharers downloaded most frequently on Monday and Tuesday. The top track, Drake's "Best I Ever Had" was downloaded over six million times:
It also tracks file sharing (and other activities) in specific markets across the country:
BigChampagne lets music and marketing people track how various tracks are performing relative to each other:
Graphical analysis tools reveal how the video for Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" is doing on YouTube, Yahoo, and elsewhere:
This is what it might look like when a music executive tracks a few key bands, setting up a tabbed page for each one:

Karachi: June 26, 2014
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is now in a position to have a major say in the affairs of international cricket after securing considerable concessions from the 'Big Three' of India, Australia, and England in the backdrop of the ICC's Annual Conference in Melbourne, Australia.
According to Dawn News, Pakistan will receive the most in terms of percentage of revenue after the Big Three, from the ICC in the next eight years from broadcasting and other rights on ICC fixtures, effectively now making them part of a 'Big Four', the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a press release.
According to the PCB, India has officially turned the MoUs signed earlier this year with regard to six series between the two nations, four of these to be hosted by the PCB in the UAE or Pakistan with mutual consent, into binding agreements straightaway. The six tours are now part of the Future Tours Programme and are to be played from 2015 to 2023.
Another major 'achievement', as the PCB puts it, is ICC confirming that the president of the global body will be from Pakistan with effect from June 2015. The agreements have been made possible because of Pakistan's non-opposition to India's N Srinivasan being elected as the new chairman of the ICC, the paper quoted PCB sources, as saying on condition of anonymity.

This salad is wonderfully refreshing even without purslane, but if you can find the green at your produce market, it's worth using for the nice crunch it adds.
Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 30 min
Leave a Review
Very good and easy to make for a quick side dish to accompany grilled lamb or spicy meat. Didn't have puslane but would like to make it next time with it.
This is a great light side dish for a bbq. It was very watery the next day though, I recommend eating it the day it's made.
Love it! So fresh! My palate felt so clean and new after each bite. Went really well with grilled lamb.
Terrific with a little lemon zest!
also known as fattouch salad in some middle eastern restaurants, this salad tastes even better the next day. also, try using a dill yogurt with this...it's pretty amazing!
This is a great recipe. I added 2 tbsp of organic yogurt to make the dressing creamy and i also threw in some diced kalamata olives. i love the taste of the fresh mint it really makes this salad special.
This is a great dish! I have made it several times and get rave reviews each time. I like to add the EVOO to taste and I add the salt at the end so the salad is less soupy when served.
I find this to be one of the most refreshing salads in the world. You don't have to limit yourself to just tomatoes, onions, and cukes. Any vegetable that can hold its crispness will work. I had a daikon radish, and since radish was always abundant in my grandmother's arabic salads, I felt like I should add it out of nostalgia. I would have loved to have added sumac, but I didn't have time to really look for it, although I am sure my market carries it. As I said, carrots (diced), radish, green bell pepper, and toasted pita can all be added-- just use what you have on hand, really.
A definite favorite of mine. An excellent addition to this salad is a spice called Sumac(for added tartness), it can easily be found in middle eastern markets, the olive oil has to be good and some toasted pita bread cut into small pieces and sprinkled on top, totally YUMMY?
This brings back memories of my childhood in Toledo,Oh. On a hot muggy summer day this was heaven to eat as It just cooled you off

It ought not to work. Beyond its two justifiably famous showstoppers, Jerry Herman's score is sweet but humdrum. And although the now dated book has dramatic highpoints, underwritten scenes veer between the schematic and the sentimental. Yet two magical things have transformed "La Cage aux Folles."
It ought not to work. Beyond its two justifiably famous showstoppers, Jerry Herman's score is sweet but humdrum. And although the now dated book has dramatic highpoints, underwritten scenes veer between the schematic and the sentimental. Yet two magical things have transformed "La Cage aux Folles." The first is the smart idea of mounting a show set in a nightclub in the Menier Chocolate Factory, a setting so intimate it genuinely feels like a boite. The second is Douglas Hodge's sensational performance as Albin.
The farce story of identity politics (before the term was invented) that powered the original French play, its movie and Mike Nichols' Hollywood remake remains intact. Drag star Albin threatens to wreck his adopted son's engagement by being too much of a screaming queen for repressive soon-to-be in-laws. At the 11th hour, Albin triumphs by impersonating the boy's mother until he blows his cover: cue homophobic outburst before climatic truth-telling and true love. Director Terry Johnson's revival abandons the expected Ziegfeld-in-drag spectacle. Instead of using an over-the-top budget to create a glamorous palace, designer David Farley reconfigures the space to create a drag club complete with false proscenium. The first of 10 rows of seats has audience members sitting at cafe tables on the edge of a stage dominated by faintly shabby, powder-pink ruched curtains. These are brightened during the overture by David Howe's lighting, pitched somewhere between fuchsia and surprise pink. That combination of luster and faded grandeur sums up the club's mood. Experiencing the less splashy and more trashy result up-close-and-personal is considerable fun. Club life is, of course, in the hands — or, rather, the bodies — of "Les Cagelles." By keeping their enviable muscularity and masculinity on show — even in the case of one who's actually a woman — costume designer Matthew Wright maintains the emphasis not on female impersonation but on men in drag, including when they're sporting black plumage that makes them look like demented birds of prey. After a heavy-handed opening number — not helped by a sound-design that favors the seven-piece band rather than the singer — Lynne Page's athletic choreography becomes ever more resourceful. Her dancers display eye-widening leg-extensions and, in the title number can-can, execute an eye-watering succession of landings in splits position. The danger with intimate revivals, however, is that the script is given a scrutiny it cannot withstand. Auds here have to take most of the relationships on trust because the writing is so skimpy. Philip Quast's Georges suffers the most. When singing, his lustrous baritone is ideally persuasive but Johnson's direction leads him to play Albin's more gentlemanly partner so straight — in every sense — that the character vanishes, leaving him looking strained and stranded. By contrast, Una Stubbs finds laughs where none previously existed as Mme. Dindon and also lets loose a hilarious trilling soprano. The show, however, belongs to Hodge. In or out of Richard Mawbey's superb series of teased wigs, he is a revelation. Playing Titus Andronicus at Shakespeare's Globe, as he did, may have been good training for this drag diva with a masters in self-aggrandizement. But that doesn't account for his captivating, easeful sincerity at exposing the detailed, often painful truth of every situation in which the ageing character finds himself. In his drag persona, he positively glows: Both his character's and his own pleasure in performance is winningly infectious. Hodge's "I Am What I Am" is quietly determined rather than showbiz anthemic. And it's abiding love for his family, not the spotlight, that so movingly surges through the joyously staged "The Best of Times." The actor's conviction turns what can be a nostalgia-fest into a dramatic triumph. The problem facing anyone wanting to transfer so surprisingly affecting a show is where to take it. In a standard West End house the all-consuming home-made aesthetic will simply look cheap. A non-traditional space should be found, if only to showcase Hodge's star-making turn.La Cage aux Folles

Press Releases
Citi and Petro-Canada first to launch MasterCard PayPass® contactless payment technology in Canada
Enhanced Citi PETRO-POINTS MasterCard with MasterCard PayPass offers convenience and peace-of-mind for payments on the go
TORONTO and MISSISSAUGA, ON, November 24, 2006 /CNW/ – Citi Cards Canada, a member of Citigroup Inc. - the world's largest general purpose and private label
credit card issuer, and Petro-Canada, Canada's Gas Station, have teamed up
again to introduce another industry-leading innovation to Canadians. The two
companies will be the first in Canada to launch MasterCard PayPass technology
to the public, which allows consumers to pay for goods and services with the
simple tap of their credit card.
Initially, the technology will be available to a select number of Citi
PETRO-POINTS MasterCard cardholders for use at 62 participating Petro-Canada
stations in Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Brampton and Etobicoke,
Ontario, later this year. The companies intend to roll out the PayPass program
to the Citi PETRO-POINTS customer base and at all Petro-Canada stations across
Canada in 2006.
"By adding the MasterCard PayPass feature to the already highly popular
Citi PETRO-POINTS MasterCard, we can provide Citi PETRO-POINTS MasterCard
cardmembers with the increased speed, convenience and security they want,"
says Barry Columb, President of Citi Cards Canada. "We're thrilled to partner
with Petro-Canada to be the first in Canada to launch this innovative new
feature to the public."
Using the card is quick and easy. After filling up at Petro-Canada,
cardmembers simply go into the station and tap their Citi PETRO-POINTS
MasterCard card on the MasterCard PayPass reader at the counter. For
consumers, MasterCard PayPass is faster and more convenient than using cash
for small ticket payments. PayPass also provides better record keeping than
cash and increases the feeling of security, as cardholders remain in control
of the card during transactions. In the future, cardmembers will also be able
to tap their MasterCard PayPass enabled cards right at Petro-Canada pumps, and
other retail locations.
"In addition to saving Petro-Canada guests with a Citi PETRO-POINTS
MasterCard two cents per litre on every gasoline and diesel fuel purchase,
we're now able to bring even more value with the introduction of MasterCard
PayPass," says Phil Churton, Vice-President, Marketing, Petro-Canada. "Not
only will this card be valid anywhere MasterCard is accepted, our guests will
be able to save time and money when they fill up at Petro-Canada."
MasterCard PayPass is a contactless technology that provides customers
with a speedy alternative to cash payment. To pay, users simply tap or wave
their MasterCard card against a MasterCard PayPass reader, which is connected
to an existing point-of-sale terminal. The card contains an embedded radio
frequency (RF) chip that transmits data securely. In Canada, MasterCard has
implemented several PayPass closed market trials and today's announcement
builds on the growing popularity of PayPass in North American and around the
The no-fee Citi PETRO-POINTS MasterCard card was launched in September
2004 and is the first and only general purpose credit card in Canada that
provides an instant savings of two cents per litre on the purchase of gasoline
and diesel fuel at Petro-Canada, while also offering PETRO-POINTS on all
credit card purchases. The Citi PETRO-POINTS MasterCard with PayPass includes
a standard magnetic stripe, so it also acts as a traditional MasterCard card
and can be used for payments or to access cash any time, anywhere at over 23 million locations worldwide.

Book description
Weather is the single most important factor in influencing price volatility, volume fluctuations and revenues for an estimated 80% of global business activity. In effect, weather risk is becoming just as important as interest rate risk and exchange rate risk in its affect on your business revenues and bottom line.
Furthermore disaster hedging by developing nations is set to be a human success story of the 21st century in the weather derivatives arena. Poor countries are actively employing these tools (with the help of aid agencies and multilateral organizations) to protect themselves from drought-induced malaise and to facilitate agricultural insurance to their farmers.
Weather Risk Management brings together a collection of experts on the subject to look at this changing area, the strategies and innovations and features detailed studies on agriculture and energy.

"Dr Tang's book about weather risk management and weather-linked products and instruments which would complement traditional equity and debt investments, should prove interesting to financial services practitioners.
Weather finance is set to be an important tool in the mitigation of risk. He sets out an interesting future where governments may hedge against catastrophic weather to tackle harvest failures.
I am sure that this book will contribute to the debate about how financial markets can be used to tackle and mitigate the impacts of climate change and weather risks".

Directed by Song Il-gon (송일곤)
Screenplay by Roh Hong-jin (노홍진), Song Il-gon (송일곤)
108min | Release date in South Korea : 2011/10/20Synopsis
A fatal love story centered on ex-boxer Chul-min (So Ji-sub) and telemarketer Jung-hwa (Han Hyo-joo). He has closed his heart to the world and she remains spirited despite slowly losing her vision. Eliminating the so-called silent style of long shots and long takes and appealing to soul and spirit, this could be deemed Song Il-gons declaration of transformation from an auteur director to a popular director. Those who were mesmerized by Songs "Flower Island" and "The Magicians" may be somewhat disappointed. As suggested by the trite title, the movie is full of old clichés. But what makes it extraordinary despite its clichés is the directors characteristic unconventional directing style and dramatic twists in detail that reveals moderation and omission. [Always] takes small steps towards the climax without excessive use of words and action. Chul-mins climactic scene trumps the explosiveness of "Rough Cut". The director also adds class to the film through the remarkable visuals and sound design, sensuous but not superficial. As a result, this film is distinct from overwhelmingly common melodramas and successfully emerges as an uncommon common drama. So Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo are perfect in their roles. The commercial expression as So-joo couple is no exaggeration. (JEON Chanil)

Thread: iphone 4 volume indicator problem
07-19-2010, 01:00 PM #1iphone 4 volume indicator problem
Hi guys,
I am facing a weird problem with my iPhone 4.
It happens to me frequently and is killing me. The problem is that the ringer indicator keeps popping up even though the volume control buttons are not pressed.
When it happens, I can only decrease the volume and the (+) button does not function at all. I tried restoring and updating to 1.0.4 several times, but once I install my apps it just happens after a while of using the iPhone. I tried installing different apps everytime, yet it happens.
Has anyone experienced this issue with iPhone 4?

Saltwater fishing license - your opinions
I would like to determine what the board members would think about a coastal fishing license. Would you support it? Or would you be against it? If you respond, please indicate which it would be and why.
Many other states (Florida and Texas come to mind immediately) require the purchase of a saltwater license for recreational anglers. We pay a license fee for freshwater angling in the states (US) and provinces (Canada), and I assume that is the way it is everywhere. Why should it be different in the saltwater arena? The freshwater resource is owned by everyone (the citizens here in the US), so that argument about the ocean doesn't hold up to me.
Don't get me wrong, I am not for any more government intervention as a whole - just got the tax request for re-newing my firearms identification card (FID), which is just an effort to remove firearms from law-abiding citizens - but I digress. A license doesn't have to be expensive. My idea would be to have a nominal fee for in-state and out-of-state anglers, or perhaps a tag for the taking of a striper or bluefish. This would allow the agencies managing harvest regulations access to better information. We would have a solid idea on resource pressure and harvest rates, much more so than creel surveys now used. Plus the biggest benefit for the recreational fisherman would be a voice when it comes to management issues. You would be providing money into the system and you would have to be heard when issues concerning striped bass regs are brought up. Why do you think the commercials have some weight (not that they are all bad), it is because they put their money where there mouth is - in the form of fees to enter the fishery.
Plus, the government allocates money based on Wallop-Breaux and Dingell-Johnson (bills for funding agencies based on excise tax on equipment and fuel, etc) that is apportioned based on license holders per-capita (I believe). So there may be the possibility to get more of a contribution to our already underfunded agencies. That money could be used to provide better monitoring of our resources, and provide money for additional biologists (my selfish motive).
Well, what are your ideas on the matter?

The only twist is, their new movie Giant Monsters Attack Japan! will be aimed at kids. Find out the reason this movie may achieve monster-classic status, after the jump.Advertisement After reviving the lost art of marionettes in Team America, this time Parker and Stone are bringing back man-in-rubber-suit action for a pastiche of Japanese monster movies. We've heard a rumor that Eiji Tsuburaya Productions, creators of Ultraman and many classic Kaiju costumes, may be working on this movie. But it's also possible that Nickelodeon, which is producing the movie, may use its own in-house staff.The script, by J.F. Lawton (Pretty Woman), sounds silly enough to fit in with classics like Baseketball and Orgazmo. The Smith family moves to Japan, and Mr. Smith has a hard time convincing his eight-year-old son Johnny that Japan isn't all robots, ninjas and giant monsters, like he's seen on TV. But then it turns out pop culture has represented Japan perfectly. Johnny befriends a family of ninjas next door, while his dad discovers that all the giant monster attacks make his life difficult. When Mr. Smith's plan to build robots to defeat the giant monsters fails, Johnny decides to go to Monster Island to convince the somewhat-nice Megamonster to help save Japan.AdvertisementJudging from Lawton's comments, Giant Monsters will revel in the cheesiness of guys in rubber suits whomping each other. But here's hoping the movie does more than just re-create all the old monster-movie wackiness. Parker and Trey are at their best when they take a tired stereotype and give it a weird extra twist, but it may be hard for them to do that when they're playing outside their native idiom and toning it down for the kids.

Changing your Banner Image
In this tutorial:
Each template in the Premium Web Builder uses a banner image at the top of each page. You can change this banner, using a custom banner or one of the preloaded banners within builder. You will need to log into Premium Web Builder and select the "Design" tab at the top of the page.
Using an Existing Banner Image
- Once you have navigated to the Design Tab in Premium Web Builder, in the right side pane, locate the "Banners" Section.
- Click the "down" arrow next to the banner box. This will show you the available banners already pre-loaded into Premium Web Builder.
- Select different banner from the list to preview. Then click "Preview" on the left side of the window.
- If you are satisified with the banner you have chosen, then click "Save Changes"
Uploading a Custom Banner
If you have an image you wish to use as a custom banner, Premium Web Builder provides you with the ability to upload your own banner image to use. It is important that you upload an image the same size as the original banner. If the banner is not the same size, Premium Web Builder can distort the image to fit properly. You can use any image editing software such as Gimp, to make sure it is the same size. For this example, we will assume the image you are using is the same size as the default banner image.
- Click the "Browse" button and choose the image on your local computer you would like to use.
- After you have selected the image, click "Upload"
- When the upload is finished, click "Preview" at the bottom right of the page to see how your custom banner looks on your web page.
What Image Format can I use for my Banner?
Premium Web Builder supports most major image file types including .gif, .jpg, .png, and .bmp

These instructions are fine but the only tricky part that one might need help with is not addressed here. I have a problem because my images never are the same size as the banner sizes. How do I deal with that? Can you provide step by step instructions please.

Hi kfrankfort,
Thanks for posting your question. I'm more than happy to assist you. You will need to use an image editor to re-size the images to the correct size. You can use a free program called GIMP to do so. Here's a link to installing GIMP on your local computer. Installing GIMP to edit Images Unfortunately, we do not have tutorials onre-sizing images, since it varies per application. Basically, you will need to find out the correct banner size, by previewing the site and right clicking on the banner. Then click on properties, to see the size of the image. Once you have the size of the image, you'll then need to edit your custom banner to match the same size using a photo editor such as GIMP. Then you can upload your edited image in the correct size. If you need further assistance please feel free to contact us. Tim S |

I don't have any issue with uploading the custom banner but I am having issues with where the banner is placed. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but for the life of me I can't get my custom banner to "center" in the template using the site builder. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello LJAtwell,
The banner images should center automatically, since it is just replacing the existing banner. Banner sizes differ, depending on the template you have chosen, make sure your banner matches the one you are replacing. Here is a link to a helpful guide on How to determine the banner size in the Builder. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul |

2013-10-23 12:44 pm
Hello LJAtwell,
Sorry, I looked further into this, and the Template controls whether the banner is centered or not, you do not have this control. Unfortunately, this means if the banner is not reacting the way you want it to, you may have to choose a different template. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul |

Since your website is not a Builder site hosted with us, this article will not help you.

Hello Rakesh,
Unfortunately we are not familiar with the particular builder that you used for your site. That is not a builder that we use here at InMotion Hosting. I did try and see if there was a tutorial out there for your situation but I did not find anything. You may want to switch to another platform if you are running into limitations on your existing one. One of the more user friendly ones is WordPress. This is also a web design platform that is supported by almost all hosts. Kindest Regards, Scott M |

I have been looking through the various templates for hours to find one that will met all my needs ... it is very difficult to have to open up all the templayes to look at the details and find out if they will work or not. This is causing me to have to reconfigure my design as my original choice did not have the ability to load the complete image .Very Frustrating. |

The banner image often doesn't fit (is partially obscured by many templates). Do I have to resize the image BEFORE I upload it? I'm guessing yes.

Not necessarily. Each spell has their own variable for their base spell damage yes? Just add another one, and apply a simple condition checking if the target is a player or not. If it is, it uses value A, otherwise it uses value B. They already have this for some spells, such as heroic throw with the glyph checking if it should or shouldn't silence the target.
It might be a bit of work to set it up at first, but afterwards it will be so easy to change around in the balance of the respective field without even having to consider how it would affect the other that it's not even funny.
The tool tips would perhaps become a little bit longer, having two lines in its description, one explaining the damage on an NPC, and one explaining the damage on a Player. But really, it would perhaps be confusing for some people for like one week, then they would most likely understand that it's a great and well needed change.

An example of one of a rough diamond yielded by Lucara's Mothae diamond project | ||
Lucara Diamond reports outstanding results from its second tender of rough diamonds recovered from the Mothae mine in Lesotho. A total of 7,190 carats in 28 sale lots were offered on tender in Antwerp between December 5 through 9, 2011.
All 28 lots received multiple bids and winning offers resulted in an average price of $893 per carat and gross proceeds of $6.4 million, an increase from Lucara's first diamond sale earlier in the year.
The three stones with the highest per carat value, all Type IIa, were a 28.89 carat diamond which sold for $1.6 million ($57,113/ct, a record for Mothae), a 56.51 carat diamond which sold for $2.1 million ($37,019/ct), and a 19.20 carat diamond which sold for $490,000 ($25,520/ct). These prices signify the exceptional quality and size of the stones that are regularly recovered from Mothae.
Lucara Diamond CEO William Lamb commented, "The results of this sale re-confirm the presence of a population of large, top quality diamonds within the Mothae kimberlite and demonstrate that these stones can be recovered with a regularity which greatly enhances the economic potential of the project. "
"We are particularly pleased with the enthusiastic market response to Mothae production, suggesting that we can always expect strong demand for our type of diamonds regardless of market conditions," Lamb continued.
