A midwest hello!
I just wanted to say hello to all and introduce myself.
I'm located in central Indiana :mad: The only good thing here is the smallmouth streams although I don't have very far to travel to get to some good Great Lakes steelhead water.:D I'm in the process of trying to decide where to relocate to. My better half wants to go back home to England but that would cost too much, now and in the future. I'm going to see an old Air Force buddy in Idaho about relocating out there but I don't know if I'd have anywhere to fish out there :hehe: |
Wild Cat Creek
Welcome to the board. Pat Bahan a forumn member is located down by you below Indy. I lived in South Bend, IN for 7 years and now in Chicago surburbs since 1986. Fish mainly Michigan steelhead, salmon, and trout. Do some stream small mouth also. If you are going to move, Idaho sounds real good from my friends that live there. As long as you are into trout fly fishing, and they have steelhead and salmon also. Hal PM Out |
Welcome to the Forum ,Wildcatcreek.:)
I'm north of Indy, just outside of Lafayette. I've had some good steelhead days at Leeper Park in S. B. and some good salmon days just across the border in Dowagiac. Thanks for the welcome. striblue, Thankyou for the welcome. |
Know both of those well was in SB a week ago saturday for the Irish Blue and Gold game. Don't forget those St Joe river smallmouths.;)

I love olives, and I can see why mushrooms don't appeal to many people. I'm not a big veggie lover either, but some are okay. I don't like Spongebob that much, I just looked the episode up to get it out of my head. xD *DIE-HARD SPONGEBOB FAN FOR LIFE* Only, not really.
You should see this captcha! I think it's the longest captcha I've ever had. [Scheherazade ralsele] It sounds like the name of a ridiculous villain.
That sounds good. :D I'm so hungry right now. My favorite kind of pizza is pepperoni with mushrooms. A lot of people think mushrooms are gross, but I love them. c: And that episode of Spongebob is wayyyyy old. It's from the first season, tenth episode.
Hurray for pizza #2! What kind of pizza is it? Ever since you mentioned pizza, the pizza episode from Spongebob has been stuck in my head. "Oh no, not the pizza! How could it get any WORSE?" Your dog didn't want his/her comfy couch to move. c:
I hope you don't mind, but I added you as a friend on here.
For real, America seems to be really good at annoying other countries. The fact that our country does whatever it wants is kind of scary.
Oh no! Not the pizza! I'm sorry for your loss. :c The pizza just wanted to get a little tan is all. It must've fallen asleep while sunbathing. Your second pizza made it safe and sound?
Yeah, it's like, you insult someone and tell them it means something nice and they would be like "Oh, thank you so much c:" When in reality you're thinking to yourself "Heheh, you suck." And yes, I think so, too. That's one more thing that people who don't watch anime are missing out on.
I love Asian cultures a lot. Probably even more than I like my own culture. Americans actually piss me off a bit. Not all, but many.

Check back here soon for more pictures and video of people playing the Gameman. The GameMan is a fully functional 6.5 times scale GameBoy, complete with working cartridges. It is over 3 feet tall, and weighs just over 100 lbs. with a cartridge.
Tetris (1987), the flagship game for the GameBoy system in the early days. All original GameBoy systems were bundled with the Tetris cartridge, which made it one of the few games that people were actually able to play in two player mode with, simply because everyone who had a GameBoy, had Tetris. It's appeal spans the generations, and brought both adults and children together in their quest to drop blocks. Even today, it remains the standard to which all puzzle games are measured against. Super Mario Land (1989), the debut of the infamous plumber on the GameBoy platform. With Mario's superstar success on the NES system, it was only logical for him to make the jump into the portable world. Although slightly different in story from his other games (There's no Bowser, the main villian is an evil alien), gameplay closely resembled the format of the original Super Mario Bros. on the NES. For many early Gameboy players, this was the second game they owned. Pokemon Red Version (1998), Along with it's companion Blue Version, the Pokemon series completely revitalized the Gameboy, and in many ways, the entire Nintendo company. At a time when interest in Nintendo was waning and the N64 system was being slapped around by Sony and Sega, Pokemon brought the Gameboy back into the fore-front. Since then, there has been numerous Gameboy and N64 games, a television show, several movies, and a trading card franchise. There are plans in the works for GameCube and GameBoy Advance versions. The primary goal in Pokemon is to find, capture and train various monsters, all in an effort to become the world's greatest Pokemon trainer The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (1993) This was Link's first appearance on the GameBoy system. This adventure was hailed by many as one of the finest RPGs ever developed for the GameBoy. Set on the mysterious Kholint island, Link is a castaway and must find a way to escape from the island and return to his beloved homeland of Hyrule. This game was later remade as a color version in 1997 as The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX. Kirby's Dreamland (1992), This was Kirby's debut appearance. Cute, fluffy, and pink, Kirby quickly used his enourmous appetite to suck his way to stardom, and has become one of the most recognizable of Nintendo's characters. It has spurned countless games on every system that Nintendo has produced. |

text: While Madhuri Dixit has been tweeting quite excitedly about shifting base to India in the month of October, some rumour mongers have been saying that Madhuris' wedding with Dr Shriram Nene is in trouble and the actor is moving back so she can be close to family. What we were wondering is this: why would Dr Nene move back to India with his wife if there was trouble brewing? Also, Madhuri sounds quite positive: "Excited! Should be back in Mumbai by middle of October," she tweeted recently. On the other hand, there is also speculation that Madhuri's trip to India might get delayed due to some issues with the visa of the senior members of the Nene family. The actor moved to the US in 1999 after her marriage and has been living there for the last 11 years. Her sudden decision to shift to India therefore has come as a huge surprise. Honestly, we just hope that all is well in Madhuri's paradise!

Edit [2010-03-01] – turns out Reflector can't handle reversing any iterator blocks. Ouch.
I'm not sure how helpful this post will be for others, but I needed a place to stick screen shots since I can't attach files to Reflector's in-app "Send Feedback" dialog nor when creating posts in their forum.
I was decompiling the Google.GData.Client.dll that comes with the (binary-only in the YouTube SDK msi) YouTubeUploader.exe – normally this wouldn't make much sense, since the source is right here, but ignore that for the purpose of this post, please. 🙂
Feed<T> in that assembly has a nice Entries property of type IEnumerable<T> (starts @ line 202 in current trunk version of the file) implemented as an iterator block (using "yield return", "yield break"). It certainly has more logic than the average iterator block you'll find out there, so I'm guessing part of the work the compiler had to do when implementing it confused reflector. Whatever the cause, Reflector doesn't currently handle correctly reversing it back to the iterator block in the source.
Reflector still shows you the generated code, of course – it just failed in whatever pass it does to identify these bits as the generated pattern and reverse it back.
Here's the inner class of Feed<T> that's generated:
And here's the Entries property:
Most of the heavy lifting is done in the generated inner class's MoveNext method. (too long and of too little value to put inline 🙂
If the above looks bizarre and/or you're still curious about how the iterator pattern is implemented by the compiler (as state machines), read more here:
- Jon's excellent article on iterator blocks
- Eric's series of posts on iterator blocks
- Raymond's series of posts on iterator blocks

Many miles to goP. Guha-ThakurtaAn education institution does not become 'elite' because it charges the highest tuition fees, or if its students study in air-conditioned premises or if every student has a laptop or personal computer. A truly elite institution teaches its students to understand reality and to appreciate the world around them. It imparts not mere information or knowledge but a bit of wisdom as well. It becomes an elite institution because of the superior quality of its pedagogy and because it strives to attain the highest standards not just of teaching but of education in the broadest sense of the word — that is, the complete and holistic development of an individual's personality so that he/ she becomes a sensitive human being.
To become productive and efficient is one part of the goal of education. To become aware of what is happening around you is another. These are but two small aspects of the whole. Education is supposed to make you sensitive. A sensitive person is one who is aware of her/ his place in society and strives to contribute to its progress. This is easier said than done. To be able to achieve such a lofty ambition, a person must be willing to sacrifice — to be willing to give up a certain amount of personal benefit in favour of gains to a larger number of people.
The well-known American writer Ayn Rand believed in the "virtue of selfishness" — in fact, this is the title of one of her books. Born Alissa Rosenburg in 1905 in St. Petersburg, her parents' properties were taken over and they were hounded out of Russia after the 1917 revolution. Anything close to communism was anathema to her and she went to an extreme to promote the cause of capitalism in her writings. But free market enterprise too has an underbelly. Education, for instance, if left entirely to market forces would deprive many among the poor of the right to learn.
Certain education institutions claim their students are being taught to become true citizens of the world. These institutions contend that they train young people not merely to survive but prosper in the newly-emergent competitive, globalised work environment. However, such claims are usually advertising hype and little else. It is sometimes said that certain non-resident Indians are out of touch with what is happening in the country of their origin. Those who are even more ignorant and naïve than such NRIs are RNIs or the resident non-Indians who are far removed from the real India, which has more than its share of the poor and illiterate.
Too many people have forgotten the old imperative of 'simple living and high thinking'. But those who run the rat race in the hope of being classified as successful by a section of society can end up feeling empty and unfulfilled and without a sense of satisfaction for all their achievements. Good education leaves you hungry for more, for education is a life-long process. The day you think you know it all, you might as well be dead and gone.
Many young people who have the privilege of studying in so-called elite education institutions are not aware of the fact that one out of three individuals in this nation of more than a billion people doesn't know how to write or sign her name. What never fails to strike a foreigner the first time she sets foot in this country are the amazing contradictions and the sharp inequalities in Indian society — an injustice which is regarded as almost natural by some Indians. As a report prepared in April 2004 by US financial services bigwig Goldman Sachs observed: "India is often characterised as a country of contradictions. This idea is exemplified by the popular phrase that India accounts for close to a third of the world's software engineers and a quarter of the world's undernourished."
In 2000, the proportion of the population of India over the age of 15 with no education at all was as high as 44 percent — though it was an even higher 72 percent in 1960 — compared to 18 percent in China, 16 percent in Brazil and one percent in Russia. India's school dropout rate at 53 percent is the worst in the whole of south and east Asia. This is mainly because elementary and primary education in the country is very inadequately funded. An important reason, though not the only one, for the high dropout rate is the inability of local government authorities to provide a nutritious mid-day meal for students in primary schools.
A 2003 report of the World Bank had pointed out: "Social progress in India has been uneven. Education indicators have improved markedly… For the first time since independence, the absolute number of illiterates in India declined between 1991 and 2001. Literacy rates, particularly for women, went up, enrollment rates of primary-age children rose and the gap in the enrollment ratios of boys and girls narrowed." In other words, while the picture is not uniformly pessimistic, as a nation we have a long distance to travel before we can expect to be accepted by the rest of world as a developed country.Some states within the Indian Union have shown the way — after Kerala, states like Mizoram and Himachal Pradesh have achieved considerable success in spreading education. But the situation in some of the larger states, especially those in the Hindi heartland, is pathetic. India is the youngest nation in the world. Its future depends on its youth. But Indian society has not been able to spread the benefits of development evenly. Our foremost educational institutions churn out doctors, engineers, computer professionals and managers who are comparable with the best in the world. A large percentage of the students who have studied in them, prefer to leave the country and work in developed nations. Talk to them about 'brain drain' and they will promptly reply that it is better to go abroad instead of letting their brains run down the drain. As for educating the poor, the less said the better.

If you're looking for particular degrees when it comes to college, you may have looked at an art degree but since there are so many fields you can go into, I thought I'd list a few and show you what each one is all about. If you're creative and you love to design and draw things, an art degree may be what you're looking for.
Fashion Design - A fashion design degree would focus on clothing and any other lifestyle accessories. This is great for those that like to deal with everyday clothing styles and fashions. Fashion designers generally create their own clothing designs for either themselves or other clients.
Graphic Design - Graphic design focuses more on the technology side. Here, you'll work with the computer and great any type of image, logo or whatever a client may want. Generate everything from a new logo to a website layout.
Interior Design - If you're a fan of houses and designing the inside of just about any building, interior designing may be for you. You'll be able to create designs for everything from windows to doors to furnishings.
Photography - Photography is meant for those that like to capture the moment with photos. If you love taking pictures and everything else about a camera, photography may be for you.
Film - Just like photography, if you like capturing the moment with film rather than a camera itself, you may want to look into film. Direct and film either independent films or create commercials.
Animation - Animation is fairly new to everyone but you'll create 2-D or 3-D models. Create cartoon based animations for movies, commercials or even a still shot.
Web Design - Again, this is a technology based degree but it does require a lot of creativity. Learn how to create and run a website. Generate images and templates for either your own business or clients.
When it comes to art and degrees, you can see above that there are many categories you can choose from. Each one works in it's own field. If you learn a little bit of each one and work for yourself, your skills can take you a very far way.

New High-Quality Free Fonts Link
Bohema is a unique art-deco typeface with a modern twist. The unpredictability of some glyphs makes it looks original and interesting, although sometimes a bit troublesome. Bohema is available in eight distinct styles and could be a great fit for headlines, editorial lettering, branding, merchandising and special occasions. You can download one weight, Bohema Regular Alternative, for free, although it's not quite as useful as the rest of the type family.
Morning Glory5
An experimental font by Luis Armesilla, released under a Creative Commons license. The font combines various unique geometric forms and shapes. Obviously, the font is not suited to traditional publications but could be useful in posters, artwork and creative brochures.
Highlands is a charming slab-serif font that draws inspiration from the US' good ol' National Park posters. Designed by Tyler Galpin, the fonts could be a great fit for headlines and posters. Currently only an uppercase set is available. Released under a pay-what-you-want license.
The Bender font family is an extravagant Russian typeface for special occasions. Use it for your graphic design work, portfolio or print products. Eight font weights are available, all as free downloads. But registration on MySpace is required.
Ovalian Type11
An experimental, playful font based on oval and circle shapes. Obviously not a good fit for corporate or elegant projects, but Ovalian Type could be quite useful in projects that invite experimentation, engagement and creativity. Available in TrueType format.
Linden Hill13
Linden Hill is a digital version of Frederic Goudy's Deepdene. This small serif family designed by Barry Schwartz includes roman and italic styles. Available in OpenType format, Linden Hill is available under the SIL Open Font License.
Fanwood is a carefully crafted serif typeface with a flavor of classic roman typefaces. The font package includes roman and italic styles, both optimized for the screen. It's an excellent typeface, making for a pleasing reading experience, including in headings and body copy. Released under the SIL Open Font License).
A bold yet versatile font that is based on classic proportions and chunky letter forms. The sharp, precise lettering makes it an interesting choice for signage, book jackets, packaging, posters and t-shirts. The small family includes an extended European character set. One font weight, Tondu Beta, is available for free downloading. Registration on MyFonts is required, though.
A friendly thin typeface with extra-tall capitals and subtle decorative elements. Matilde would work nicely for headings, short paragraphs, children's books, posters and brochures. The family contains 212 symbols and glyphs. Two styles are available: Normal and Sketch. The font also contains decorative frames and patterns.
Weston Round Slab19
This typeface contains rounded slab-serif fonts designed by Pavel Pavlov specifically for use in logos and headlines. Regular and light all-caps versions are available in OpenType formats for free downloading.
Banda Typeface
Banda is a semi-serif typeface characterized by a tall x-height and rounded semi-serifs. Although first designed as a display typeface, Banda quickly evolved into a more complex set, consisting of seven weights plus their respectful italics. Banda can be used for short passages of text as well as fancy displays. Spanning the elegant finesse of the thinner weights to the almost childish bubbliness of the heavier weights, Banda is a great all-round performer, suitable for logos, headlines, packaging and food products and much more.
Black & White (The link was removed due to copyright infringement. The original design is Calypso21 by Typolar type foundry.)
An experimental typeface with two font weights (regular and italic). The typeface has many distinctive, playful features that would give headings a unique retro feel. The typeface contains English and Cyrillic letters and is available in OpenType and True Type formats. Note that in both formats, the small "j" doesn't work properly. We have contacted the designer about the issue, and hopefully the font will be updated soon. (The issue is fixed now.)
Legion Slab22
Legion Slab is a condensed slab-serif typeface designed by Phil Pham. The body copy set in Legion Slab is quite difficult to read because some letters were designed to be asymmetric, giving the typeface an original, perhaps "broken" appearance. However, Legion Slab could be a great fit for headings and product designs. In TrueType format; only a regular weight is available.
Practice Foundry is an independent foundry that releases fonts under a pay-what-you-want license. The sans-serif font was intended to be the most legible typeface for mobile screens. Its details are drawn from the more systematic constructed Neo-Grotesques, giving it a neutral tone of voice. Although Fabrica was developed primarily for mobile screens, the typeface is suitable to any application, big or small. The font is available in OpenType format for Mac and PC.
ARS Novelty26
This typeface is a result of the unconventional approach of Angus R. Shamal. The designer has come up with a fun and by no means less-than-functional experiment in hybrid styles and historical influences, joining the baroque serif with the geometric sans, the formal with the decorative flourish. ARS Novelty is apparently a typeface that tries to make sense of it all. A single weight is available, with stylistic alternates, numerals, standard ligatures and discretionary ligatures, case-sensitive forms, ordinals and localized forms. In OpenType format.
Bevan is a reworking of a traditional slab-serif display typeface created by Heinrich Jost in the 1930s. In Bevan, Jost's earlier letter forms have been digitized and then reshaped for use as a Web font. The counters have been opened up a little, and the stems optimized for use as a bold display font in modern Web browsers. It's a good choice for bold headings and promotional brochures. Released under the SIL Open Font License and available in the Google Web Fonts repository. Designed by Vernon Adams. You might want to take a look at other free fonts by Vernon Adams: Rokkitt29, Shanti30, Muli31.
Ostrich Sans33
This typeface is a display sans-serif typeface with a variety of styles: the free family contains dashed (thin), rounded (medium), ultra-light, normal, bold (with racetrack-style double lines) and black font weights. Designed by Tyler Finck, available in TrueType format and open source (courtesy of The League of Moveable Type).
Sansus Webissimo35
This typeface is a contemporary open grotesk typeface available in OpenType and TrueType formats. Sansus is a potentially great fit for both headings and body copy, both online and in print. Two font weights are available, regular and italic. The family is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
Quattrocento Roman37
Quattrocento Roman is a classic, elegant and strong typeface that perhaps lacks some maturity in certain details (the "g" and "e," for example, do not quite seem to fit together). The typeface has wide and open letterforms, and the good x-height makes body text legible even at small sizes. As a classic Roman typeface, Quattrocento is a good choice for big bold headlines. Fontlab source files are included in the download package. Available as a Web font, Quattrocento Sans38 is a free download as well.
Dancing Script40
Dancing Script is a lively, casual script whose letters bounce and change in size slightly. The font references popular typefaces from the '50s. It recalls Murray Hill (by Emil Klumpp, 1956) in its weight distribution and Mistral (by Roger Excoffon, 1953) in its bouncing effect. Dancing Script could be handy if you are looking for a casual, friendly, informal and spontaneous typeface, and it's a pretty good replacement for Comic Sans, too! Also available as a Web font.
Collator is a sans-serif typeface designed to achieve greater harmony between Chinese characters and Latin letter forms when set together. Drawing inspiration from the two traditions of type design, Collator aims to be a contemporary, balanced expression of both Western and Asian cultures. Created by Vince Lo and released as a pay-what-you-want license.
Cabin is a humanist sans serif inspired by Edward Johnston and Eric Gill's typefaces, with a touch of modernism. Cabin incorporates modern proportions, optical adjustments and some elements of the geometric sans. As the designer puts it, "It remains true to its roots, but has its own personality." An excellent typeface for body copy and headings on small and large screens. Four font weights are available, with corresponding italic styles.
Logisoso is an ongoing type design project. Created during a signage project for a logistics center, where it was used to identify different buildings, the font was later completed with Inkscape and generated with FontForge. The download package contains the source files for you to improve and optimize the font.
Novecento is an uppercase-only font family inspired by the European typographic trends of the first half of 20th century. The typeface looks rational, geometric and blocky. But it is based on optical, not geometric, proportions. Novecento could be used for headlines, visual identities and short sentences. The lighter weights provide a more contemporary look and feel, while the bolder ones have a retro flavor.
The Ubuntu font family is a set of new open sans-serif fonts. The family includes all of the languages used by Ubuntu users around the world. Designed by Dalton Maag for the Ubuntu operating system, and open source.
Ultra's beauty lies in its boldness. This decorative Western font with elegant serifs has a sharp and inviting presence, especially in the subtleties of the "J," "7" and "f." The font has an extended European character set and is available as a free download in TrueType format. Licensed under the Apache License version 2.
CS Benwood54
This font is unique and would serve a large variety of print design work, be it posters, CD covers or any other project that requires a non-traditional typographic spin. Each glyph has its own unique "woody" appearance. Designed by BenChalit Sagiamsak, and available in OpenType format.
Five Minutes56
This font was created by Oleg Zhuravlev and is meant for illustrations that display your brainstorming and other creative ideas. The letters are not quite optimized and appear to be a bit loose, but you wouldn't expect anything more from your own scribbled notes either. The font contains 151 glyphs, including Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, numerals and some special characters.
Lukas Bischoff has released this heavy, elegant headline typeface for private use only. The typeface would work well for headings, short paragraphs and any type of graphic design in your personal portfolio.
Maven Pro
Maven Pro is a free sans-serif typeface with a unique curvature and flowing rhythm. The extensive collection of characters totals over 530 glyphs! Many languages are supported (too many to list), including basic Latin and Western European diacritics. The vast number of glyphs make it highly usable for just about any textual content: spreadsheets, documents and especially websites. The typeface is also great for printed collateral and can scale down very small while maintaining legibility. Available in four styles: black, bold, regular and medium.
Typoflat's founder, Branislav S. Cirkovic, loves experimenting with type. The company's website contains a number of experimental vector typefaces (only EPS format is available), all available for free downloading and use.
The Miller Type Foundry has released three font weights of its type family Nikaia for free downloading. Nikaia is a futuristic geometric typeface for headlines and body copy. Nikaia, Nikaia Regular Italic and Nikaia Script have been released for free. To download the files, you will need to register on MyFonts.
Eau Sans64
This sans-serif typeface was originally designed by Yamaoka Yasuhiro in 1992, yet the nicely shaped glyphs make it a timeless, sturdy tool for any typographic work. The family consists of six font weights, with numeric characters in three variations: proportional, old-styled and lining numerals.
Podkova is a monoline slab serif with diagonal terminals. Wide proportions and clean features aid with legibility at small sizes. The unusual letterforms provide enough character to be used at display sizes. Designed by Ilya Yudin in 2010.

The Force of Typography66
May the force of typography be with you! Matteo Civaschi and Gianmarco Milesi have proved that the power of typography can go far beyond traditional text and headings. Have you ever tried to design Yoda, stormtroopers or Darth Vader with type? Well, they have. And the result is nothing less but spectacular!

QuickTime (MP4) | iOS MP4 |
20:48 mins Help us reach 100k |
We had a visit from Akai's MPC specialist Andy Mac - with him came the new MPC flagship product - the MPC Renaissance.
Essentially, its an MPC control surface which takes all the best bits of the various MPC products - as specified by numerous pro users during a lengthy consultation process. This is combined with the software component which takes care of the audio and sequencing. The hardware also acts as a 4-channel USB audio interface allowing direct sampling via the combi or phono input - yes folks turntable sampling is supported.
All the familiar MPC functions are in there - 16 velocity/pressure sensitive pads, 16 levels, mute buttons, repeat and sequencing too.
What makes a real difference to the workflow are the 16 touch sensitive rotary encoders which make real-time tweaking and control more possible. This includes control of third party plug-ins and effects which integrate into the MPC host software.
The Renaissance comes with over 8GB of Akai library - including all the MPC60 and MPC3000 sounds and the software will read older Akai formats. Speaking of older machines, the hardware emulation is another interesting feature - with MPC3000 and MPC60 emulation you can crunch up your final mix for both monitoring and bouncing internally.
The Renaissance is just becoming available in the UK, priced at £699
I'm just curious about it's sync to my DAW. will it lock tightly ? Also,how about it's latency ? If I create a heavy project,will the pads still react as well ?? Gonna have to check this thoroughly and if it works as promised I'm getting one for sure.
02-Nov-12 12:19 PM
You will have to pry my hardware mpc from my cold dead handz....
02-Nov-12 01:20 PM
I have a feeling that this product demo video exists only because the initial sales of the Renaissance are not what Akai was hoping for. If the end user is savvy enough to use DAWs and manipulate Midi CC values, what is the incentive to buy a Renaissance over a much more economical pad controller such as Akai's own MPD32?
Even if they repackaged the MPC 500 in the MPC Studio chassis, it would have been a huge winner. Even the MPC Fly is a better value than the Renaissance as the form factor and Ipad integration are still a portable and self contained MPC experience.
Shame on Akai for foisting this glorified midi controller on us. The only way to atone for this would be to introduce a fully functional MPC in the form factor of an MPK25 to rival the Korg Microsampler, which, for those in the know, is a great sampler.
02-Nov-12 01:53 PM
needs computer, right? what is " SO MPC " about it? its a controller,....:/
02-Nov-12 03:01 PM
Got mine this week. The hardware is substantial, chunky and pleasing.The software appears really skin of its teeth.Cannot recognise Spectrasonics plugins at all, and when it crashes a complete computer reboot is needed. I have always loved MPC`s, but to compete legitimately with the very fine Maschine 1.8, they need to sort the software pretty damn pronto.
03-Nov-12 05:00 AM
Also what happened to dual midi? Transpose used to be an on the fly command by chosen number of semitones, now being an executable command, it`s far less in the moment for where will the riff/bassline/chordal structure go next. Brief written manual but like often now more detail in the manual within program, somewhat congestedly graphically arranged. Attend to these details and have devoted lifelong followers.
03-Nov-12 05:09 AM
have its rock solid but the software needs work and can not compete with maschine ive had for years and upgraded to tthe new model when i purchased my mpc mpc is on the right track just need to fix software it the problem but certain things are better than maschine hardware feels like a real mpc and really barely have to touch the computer the 16 knobs are great plugin in control is good and super easy to map on ghe fly but serious bugs when creating a full song and maschine has alot less hick ups but the work flow is not as good oh maschine daw intergration all the way round is better ni is just better software mpc has all the potential though
03-Nov-12 04:05 PM
Note repeat latching, now that`s a great feature. But for some reason it works only on MPC sounds, not via midi which would also be great.
07-Nov-12 02:26 AM
MIDI PRODUCTION CENTER or MUSIC PRODUCTION CENTER
Yes the new MPC is a Maschine controller made by Akai.
MPC in 2012 = MUSIC PRODUCTION CONTROLLER

Misbehaved is a champagne/gold background with a black fishnet design over it. I was going to the beach last weekend when I tried this so I figured that it would match a lot of my outfits plus it would last longer than my normal manicures!
I wish I had taken pictures in the sun but I was in a rush to leave my apartment the morning after I put these nail polish strips on. The gold colors really shone through and gave my nails an amazing sheen. On the ferry to Fire Island I had three women ask me about my nails! They all loved it and wanted to know how I did it and were so excited when I told them that they could buy it in a drugstore!
The only issues I had with this application were that I had a slight fold/crease on two of my nails however part of that was my fault for not warming the strips up before applying them to make them more flexible. As much as I really wanted to do the 10 day challenge for you all, alas I wanted to swatch other polishes so I only made it 4 days. However in those four days my nails still looked perfect with just a tiny bit of tipwear that was easily fixed by filing my nails! Now, since I never really gave tips on how to do these properly, here are Carly's tips for putting on Sally Hansen Salon Effects:
* Make sure you read the directions that come in the box before you start.
* Use nail polish remover to clean off your nails, file your nails to your desired length and shape and wash your hands before you start so everything is ready to go.
* Only open one foil packet at a time (8 strips) because if you have smaller hands like me, you can get away with only using one packet and reusing the other strips another time!
* Warm the strip in your hand before you apply it, it will make it stick to your nails easier and be more flexible so you don't get bumps or folds.
* If you are choosing between two sizes, pick the larger and use the cuticle stick to get rid of the excess polish.
* Don't try to rip the excess polish off the top of your nail. Use a scissor and leave a bit to fold over the tip of your nail and then use the file to file it down. This reduced tip wear.
All in all, I love Sally Hansen Salon Effects. For someone like me who can't do nail art they are amazing! I have yet to try any of the neons or glitters (but I will soon) and I just love all the options. Plus they are amazing for when you go on vacation and can't do your nails for any length of time or if you're not afflicted with NADD (Nail Attention Deficit Disorder) like I am.
What do you all think of the Salon Effects? Have you tried any? Any prints in particular you'd like to try?
DISCLOSURE: this product was sent to me for review by Sally Hansen. For more information on my disclosure policy, please go here.

Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, many Catholics saw the time of transition when Scottish James I took the English throne as the chance to overthrow the Protestant government. England had officially separated from Rome in 1534 under Henry VIII, who repeatedly fought to keep his position as head of the Church of England. The wars continued, primarily with Spain, through the reign of his daughter Elizabeth, though she would take a fairly neutral stance on Catholicism compared to Henry. The Virgin Queen had no issue, and the crown passed to her relative James VI of Scotland, who was not uniformly welcomed to the throne.
In the midst of the uneasiness, many Catholics thought that a single push would overthrow the Protestant rule of the country, and conspiracies were born. Most famous would be the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 with its close-call to the destruction of Parliament, but there would also be Bye Plot (in which Catholic priests hoped to kidnap James I to force the repeal of anti-Catholic laws) and the Main Plot both in 1603. Funded by Spain and led by men such as Henry Brooke, his brother Sir George (who would be executed after trial in the Bye Plot), and military man Thomas Grey, the plot involved raising up an army to storm London and place James's cousin Arabella on the throne. Henry Brooke, the Lord Cobham, was in contact with the court of Spain and would collect money for the plot by travelling circuitously from London to Brussels to Spain and then back to London via Jersey, where Sir Walter Raleigh was governor. As the conspiracy came to trial, Raleigh would be dragged into it.
Raleigh was familiar with scandal. He had secretly married one of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting, Elizabeth Throckmorton, without permission in 1591, and the couple was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Shortly thereafter, however, Raleigh was released as he was one of the leading Englishmen with knowledge of the New World and worked to divide the spoils of the captured Spanish Madre de Dios. His fortunes would bounce back, just as they had after his failed experiment with Roanoke Colony. In 1593, he was made a burgess and later elected to Parliament (sitting for three counties in 1603). The next year, he came upon the story of "El Dorado", a golden city at the headwaters of the Caroní River, a tributary of the Orinoco, and traveled to explore the northern coast of South America. Upon his return, Raleigh wrote The Discovery of Guiana and made exciting, if exaggerated, claims about his voyage. He returned to favor with exploits in battles with Spain and was named Governor of Jersey, from which he would be recalled in 1603 under suspicion of conspiracy and treason.
Cobham had given a sworn confession involving Raleigh, attempting to name names as his brother George Brooke had done turning Cobham in during the Bye trials. Raleigh denounced the evidence as "hearsay", which was outright inadmissible in common law, though it could be heard in this civil law case of treason. General Attorney Edward Coke, who was new to his position and gaining great fame as he prosecuted numerous treasonous conspirators, refused to allow Cobham to testify in person as Cobham was described by contemporaries to say "one thing at one time, and another thing in another, and could be relied upon in nothing." Coke used personal attacks such as "notorious traitor", "vile viper" and "damnable atheist" in lieu of actual evidence, and finally Raleigh was able to point out that Coke was acting simply out of desperation in his duty to prosecute by order of the king. James I recognized this, and the charges were dismissed.
Raleigh returned to his positions and completing his improvements of the Jersey defenses before pressing on with his aspirations of discovering El Dorado. He gathered investors and equipment for not just an expedition, but a colony at the delta of the Orinoco to supply further expeditions up river. Raleigh's bravado worked to his advantage in keeping the Spanish farther west and establishing an effective new Jamestown. The colony would later be governed by his son Wat after Raleigh disappeared into the jungle on one of his many expeditions and never returned. Orinoco proved a key military position between coastal Spanish Venezuela and the Dutch colonies forming to the east, many of which would be conquered in the later Anglo-Dutch wars.
Orinoco proved a fairly profitable, if non-noteworthy, plantation colony for the British Empire in the next several centuries. By the early 1900s, its vast oil fields became a valuable commodity, and since then Orinoco has been one of the richest corners of the Commonwealth, looked upon with envy by other former colonies and routinely doing well in sporting matches from its state-of-the-art national stadium, El Dorado.
In reality, Raleigh was found guilty of treason, though King James would suspend his execution and hold him in the Tower of London until 1616, when he would be released to lead an expedition in search of El Dorado. During the exploration of Venezuela, an attack on a Spanish outpost would go wrong, his son Wat being shot and the attack being labeled an illegal act of war. To appease the Spanish, Raleigh's sentence of beheading was reinstated in 1618. It was said that "justice of England has never been so degraded and injured as by the condemnation of the honourable Sir Walter Raleigh."

I don't like ginger!! or mint! but despite that, this wasn't terrible. At first, the white was more present, which I enjoyed, but it faded as the cup cooled. Ginger then became more dominant, from the beginning of the sip til the end and yet it was not overwhelming as I had expected. Meanwhile, mint hid somewhere in the middle, with white in the back.
Stash does an excellent job of blending flavours which is something I respect in a tea. Good job Stash!

OXFORD, England (AP) — Roger Bannister remembers those fabled four minutes as if they were yesterday.
Like a proud patriarch regaling wide-eyed children, the 82-year-old avidly recounts that magical four-lap race on a cinder track in Oxford on May 6, 1954 — an event that still stands as a transcendent moment in sports.
3 minutes, 59.4 seconds.
"It's amazing," says Bannister, expressive as ever, "that more people have climbed Mount Everest than have broken the 4-minute mile."
The enduring black-and-white images of Bannister, eyes closed, mouth agape, straining across the finish line at the Iffley Road track, symbolize the supreme test of speed and endurance that captured the public's imagination. It made him a global celebrity as the first man to run the mile in under 4 minutes — the mythical barrier that some thought was beyond human reach.
With London hosting the Olympics this summer, the Oxford-educated neurologist knighted Sir Roger in 1975 finds himself in the spotlight again, the embodiment of sporting achievement in Britain.
While Bannister never won an Olympic medal, having finished fourth in the 1,500 meters at the 1952 Helsinki Games, he still represents a strong link to the Olympic ideals of faster, higher, stronger.
And that has led to speculation that now, after a distinguished 40-year medical career, Bannister could still capture his Olympic moment by lighting the flame to open the London Games.
"I think it should be somebody representing youth," he says, coyly deflecting questions about whether he might have a starring role at the July 27 opening ceremony. "Can't answer."
The epitome of the English gentleman, Bannister welcomes a visitor to his modest Oxford flat with a warm smile, firm handshake and a cheery, "I see that you are punctual." He still lives only minutes away from the track where he made history.
His wife Moyra, a keen artist, proudly points out her framed paintings on the wall and photographs of her husband meeting a young Queen Elizabeth II, Winston Churchill and other dignitaries. Pictures of their four children and 14 grandchildren also line the hallway and the bright reception room.
Bannister's 6-foot-2 frame is still sturdy, his silver-white hair neatly combed, his blue eyes shining, voice strong and resonant, his words colorful and precise.
Wearing a blue blazer, gray trousers and pink shirt and tie, he looks every bit the master of Oxford's Pembroke College, which he once was.
Bannister jots down a few notes on a yellow legal pad before he settles into a swivel chair and talks animatedly for more than hour about his life and career.
Occasionally, his wife, seated at the back of the room, reminds him to talk about his work as a neurologist. "He's so darned modest," she says.
In 1945, with Britain recovering after World War II, Bannister's father took his teenage son to a track meet at London's White City Stadium, which was built to host the 1908 Olympics. They were there to watch British middle-distance star Sydney Wooderson, who had emerged as a rival to the trio of Swedish runners who had taken the mile world record down close to the 4-minute mark.
"He came up to Arne Andersson's shoulder and it was inspiring to see him challenge this tall Swede," Bannister said. "The Swede managed to shake him off and win.
"So I made up my mind then when I got to university, got to Oxford, I would take up running seriously."
With the 1948 London Games approaching, Bannister established himself as a promising young talent, running mile times of around 4:10. The 19-year-old was selected as a "possible" for the British Olympic team, but decided it was too soon.
"I thought I wasn't really ready," Bannister said. "At that stage, it was thought that if you indulged in too much racing when you were too young, that you could burn yourself out. ... I decided I would wait for the '52 Olympics."
Bannister did play a role off the track at the London Olympics. He was an assistant to the administrator for the British team. When the national flags were distributed for the teams marching in the opening ceremony at Wembley Stadium, the Union Jack was missing. Bannister was dispatched to find one. He rushed back to their car in the parking lot, smashed the window and grabbed a small flag from the back seat.
"I actually carried and managed to get it to the British team just before they were going into the stadium," he said. "So I do think I made a minor contribution to the '48 Olympics."
Criticized by the British press for not competing in London, Bannister put all his efforts into preparing for Helsinki. By now, he was a full-time medical student at Oxford and had to juggle his studies with his training, which was light by today's standards.
Bannister was considered the favorite for the gold in the 1,500 meters — the shorter metric mile distance run in the Olympics. Then, just before the games, he learned that organizers had added an extra round of heats, meaning he would have to run on three consecutive days.
"I'm afraid that was such a shock to me," he said. "I really didn't manage to give it my best, although I was in the fourth position in the last lap of the final, which was the position from which I would usually expect to unleash a finishing burst. I'm afraid there was nothing there."
Josy Barthel of Luxembourg won the race in 3:45.2, as the top four finishers all broke the Olympic record. Fourth place for Bannister came as "a massive disappointment."
Here, fate came into play.
Had Bannister won the Olympic gold that day, he probably would have retired and the first sub-4-minute mile would have been achieved by someone else.
Instead, he vowed to make up for the failure, compete for another two years and attack the mile landmark.
"I decided I could just manage to fit running in with my medical studies until 1954," he said.
The quest to break the 4-minute standard carried a special mystique. The numbers were easy to grasp: 1 mile, 4 laps, 4 minutes. Many thought the human body was incapable of running that fast, but when Finland's Paavo Nurmi clocked 4:10.4 in 1923, the pursuit was on. Sweden's Gunder Hagg lowered the mark to 4:01.4 in 1945, and it stood for nine years. Until Bannister came along.
"There was no logic in my mind that if you can run a mile in 4 minutes, 1 and 2/5ths, you can't run it in 3:59," he said. "I knew enough medicine and physiology to know it wasn't a physical barrier, but I think it had become a psychological barrier.
"I thought it would be right for Britain to try to get this. There was a feeling of patriotism. Our new queen had been crowned the year before, Everest had been climbed in 1953. Although I tried in 1953, I broke the British record, but not the 4-minute mile, and so everything was ready in 1954."
Bannister wasn't alone. Australia's John Landy and American Wes Santee ran times of 4:02, and it was a question of who would get there first.
Bannister scheduled his attempt for May 6 during a meet between Oxford University and the Amateur Athletic Union. He started the day at his hospital lab in London, where he sharpened his spikes and rubbed graphite on them so they wouldn't pick up too much of the track's cinder ash. He took a midmorning train from Paddington Station to Oxford.
The weather was miserable — rainy, cool and windy. Bannister was uncertain whether to go for the attempt in such conditions. His Austrian coach, Franz Stampfl, told him this might be his best chance. When the red-and-white English flag flying from a neighboring church fluttered more gently as the 6 p.m. race approached, Bannister made up his mind.
"I decided it was time to make the attempt even if I failed," he said.
Bannister had lined up English runners Chris Brasher and Chris Chataway as pacemakers. He tucked in behind Brasher, a steeplechaser, who ran the first lap in 58 seconds and the first half-mile in 1:58. Chataway moved to the front and took them through three laps in 3:01. Bannister would have to run the final lap in 59 seconds.
His long arms and legs pumping, his lungs gasping for oxygen, he surged in front of Chataway with about 300 yards to go.
"I then went flat out for the finishing line, and just about managed to stagger over it," he said. "I couldn't stand at the end."
The chief timekeeper was Harold Abrahams, the 100-meter champion at the 1924 Paris Olympics whose story inspired the film "Chariots of Fire." He handed a piece of paper to Norris McWhirter, who announced the time: "3... "
"That was when the crowd exploded and we didn't hear any more," Bannister said. "It didn't matter what the rest was."
The record didn't stand for long. Six weeks later, Landy ran 3:57.9 in Turku, Finland. (The current record stands at 3:43.13, held by Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj since 1999.)
Bannister settled the score with Landy in August 1954 at the Empire Games, now called the Commonwealth Games, in Vancouver in what was dubbed the "Mile of the Century" or the "Miracle Mile." When the Australian glanced over his left shoulder on the final bend to see where Bannister was, the Englishman raced past him on the right and won by about four yards in 3:58.8. Landy clocked 3:59, the first time two men ran under 4 minutes in the same race.
Bannister capped his amazing year by winning the 1,500 meters at the European championships in Bern, Switzerland, in 3:43.8, his third major achievement in the span of a few months.
"Each one proved something different," he said. "Each one was necessary."
With that, Bannister retired from competition and pursued a full-time career in neurology. He is currently editing the ninth edition of a textbook on nervous-system disease, and his most treasured trophy is the lifetime achievement award he received in 2005 from the American Academy of Neurology.
"That represents a lot more work than the 4-minute mile," he said.
Ever since his right ankle was shattered in a car accident in 1975, he has walked with a limp and has been unable to run. "Over the years I've been able to walk or sometimes jog a little but nothing that would really be satisfying to me," he said. "It has been frustrating."
Bannister also served as chairman of the British Sports Council, where he initiated the first tests for steroids.
Turning to the state of sports today, and the doping scandals that have tarnished track and field, he remains sanguine about the fight against drug cheats.
"I think there will be further efforts and I have hopes," Bannister said. "The war on drugs, I believe, is possibly turning now, in that the sophistication of pharmacologists who are trying to invent new drugs are being countered now by the pharmacologists who are trying to win the battle against drugs."
The power of the Olympic ideals still resonates for him.
"There is something noble about athletics sports events," he said. "They give an opportunity to the youth of the world to find out about one another. Any competitor in athletics or in other Olympic sports goes back to his country as an Olympian. I believe that is a force for good."
As for his own involvement, Bannister said he will be present when the torch relay passes through Oxford, and he will attend the men's 1,500-meter final at the Olympic Stadium on Aug. 7.
Might he also be there on July 27 for the lighting of the Olympic cauldron? Five-time rowing gold medalist Steve Redgrave is the British bookmakers' favorite, but wouldn't Bannister make an ideal candidate?
Among those making that call will be Sebastian Coe, himself a former world-record holder in the mile and a two-time Olympic champion in the 1,500 meters. He heads the organizing committee for the London Olympics.
"There will be no shortage of candidates given the Olympic history in the U.K.," Coe said. "I'm sure Roger's name will be in the mix, but we have not even remotely begun to consider the decision of who will light the cauldron."
Bannister himself says it's not for him to say. He remembers back to the 1948 Games, when a little-known runner called John Mark was the final torch bearer.
"He wore a white singlet, white shorts, and he was representing the youth of the world," said Bannister, who turns 83 on March 23. "He wasn't running because of his name. I think that's very sound."
After seeing his visitor to the door, Bannister offers a smile and parting words.
"I'll see you," he says, "for the 60th anniversary."

Oh man what a waste of a good fic, Harry/Ginny?? I mean cmon what man would arrange a contract between their son and a girl who's mother looks and acts like Molly Weasley??Author's response
I haven't felt like going through all the folderol of replacing the first chapter for the author's note. This will not end up being a H/G. It's just convenient at this point of the story.
Wait just a minute... didn't we go through this same complaint with you about two chapters back?Midnight Watch

Wow. Glad to see this story continued after so long. As excellent as I remember it being.
Oh, and don't let the rabid shippers like the reviewer before me drag you down. It's your story, so tell it the way YOU want to.Author's response
Glad you're still willing to read. We're half raising my niece, so writing with a toddler in the house is a hard thing to do. Hard to believe that it was two years between updates! Honestly, I'm beginning to think I should just replace the first chapter and label it Harry/multi to stop the dumb comments, but I'm not doing a Harem story or even much romance type stuff in here for years. Henri will be at least 15 before he even starts noticing girls... or at least admitting it!Midnight Watch

Excellent update . . . . Sytherin potions kit, huh? Wonder how Hermione would react to that if Henri is Sorted into her House (it will be interesting to see what, if any, changes you make there)Author's response
We'll see at how the sorting works out. Most of the canon characters are the same as they were. The Dursleys and Henri are different, and Neville has been smothered a bit more than he was in canon, but I don't see otherwise how things could change based on what happened to Harry Potter for the rest of the population. As for Hermione, well, she may slowly change into a friend over the course of Hogwarts. I'm going for brat!Hermione at the first. She's used to being the best and the smartest and it won't sit well with her when she isn't as much. I will however, promise that brat!Hermione won't turn into psychobitch!Hermione.Midnight Watch

Are you going to have Divia show up? She should still be entombed in Egypt with a major chip on her shoulder.Author's response
I'm considering having a Gringotts cures breaker find her. Maybe someone on Bill's team. (Not Bill, though. He doesn't deserve to have Divia kill him.) Frankly, it would make more sense to me in this AU for curse breakers to dig up Qa'ra's tomb.
Oh! Or I could have her kill off Bill, and have a vindictive Ginny break off the betrothal contract! Oh, the possibilities...Midnight Watch
(#) Cateagle 2010-07-24
Good to see you back on this one. I can see Hermione being a bit upset at not being the best and smartest and I can see her react in either an adversarial way that makes for lots of conflicts or decide on a cooperative approach of the two brightest working together; I suspect it may well devolve down to what relationship she and Henri develop before getting into an academic competition. It will be interesting to see Henri at Hogwarts without the baggage that being "Harry Potter" would bring. I'll be looking foward to the Sorting.Author's response
You're right. Hermione won't be happy at all about having competition. Currently, she sees it as a personal insult. Personally, I'm hoping for academic competition....Midnight Watch

What is in this article?:
- Use compressed air to dry your compressed air
- Building a flexible system
Building a flexible system
Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of how the Elliott cycle refrigerators can be configured with a heat exchanger and trap to form a compressed air dryer. Unprocessed compressed air is introduced into the air input, where it flows through the heat exchanger tubes, shown as a single S-shaped tube.
The refrigerator produces a cooled vapor cloud that is saturated with normalized micro-droplets and discharged into the coolant cavity of the heat exchanger. The vapor cloud is forced to flow through the heat exchanger — where it cools the outside of the exchanger tubes — and out the coolant discharge port.
When the unprocessed air comes in contact with the inside of the cooled exchanger tubes, its temperature drops. As the air temperature drops, its affinity for water vapor also drops. As the water is shed from the compressed air, it condenses onto the inside of the exchanger tubes. The condensed water runs down the inside of the tubes along with the compressed air flow and is discharged through the heat exchanger output.
The air and liquid water are routed through a separation trap, which forces the dry air into a series of turns designed to separate the liquid water from the air stream. The separated water collects into a small reservoir and is periodically drained through the trap's drain valve. The now dry compressed air flows through the output of the trap and is introduced to the distribution system.
The sheer simplicity of a system such as this allows flexibility when designing the balance of the compressed air system. In addition to having no moving parts and requiring no electrical components, the system's entire exchanger and trap can be constructed of Schedule 40 welded piping components. Doing so produces a durable piece of equipment with a life expectancy that better matches the compressors it serves.
A sectional view of an Elliott cycle dryer designed for small, packaged compressors is shown in Figure 4. The body of the heat exchanger is constructed from a piece of Schedule 40 steel pipe with forged steel fittings and mild steel tube plates. The assembly features all-welded construction for longevity and reliability. The internal tubes of the exchanger are made of Type 122 copper and bonded to tube plates using a proprietary process.
The refrigerator mounts into the 12-in. female NPT port at the top of the heat exchanger shell, and the coolant discharge is located at the bottom of the shell. The trap assembly is of the same construction style as the heat exchanger — all-welded Schedule 40 pipe components with forged steel fittings. The input nipple of the trap is specifically matched to the reducing bushing that makes up the heat exchanger output.
Units in the 25 through 200 scfm range (5 to 40 hp) are generally mounted directly to the compressors or receivers that they service. Dryers 250 scfm and larger (50 hp and up) are generally mounted to an integral basetrap assembly and are stand-alone units, as shown in Figure 5.
The dryer in Figure 5 is placed between the output of the compressor and the input of the receiver. This arrangement produces a clean, simple installation and is the preferred arrangement for an Elliott cycle dryer for systems using a rotary screw compressor. For smaller, reciprocating compressors it is generally recommended that the dryer be located on the output of the receiver and after the master pressure regulator, if used.
Because the Elliott refrigerator produces a vapor cloud as the coolant, the effective cross-section of the heat exchanger must be limited to a section that the vapor discharge can effectively penetrate. This cross section limits the construction of the heat exchangers to units that have approximately 500 scfm drying capacity. To manufacture larger capacity dryers, 500 scfm heat exchangers are ganged together on common manifolds. Dryers are manufactured in this configuration for flows to 3000 scfm (six 500-scfm heat exchangers). For dryers more than 3000 scfm, a secondary, bolt-together manifold is manufactured for grouping smaller units together. As an example, a 5000-scfm dryer is assembled utilizing two 2500-scfm units on common input and output manifolds and with common controls.

The following is a full-featured, production-quality image slideshow program. It began life as an enhancement of Tk Photo Slideshow, with scrolling and scaling, which is the root of this thread. Features:
List-oriented commands, such as s, l, and c, operate on the entire list currently in memory, in its current order. The filtering and ordering functions operations alter the image list. Currently, very few operations are aware of the selected subset of images. More are planned. For the custom grep and custom sort operations, the text you enter is whatever you'd put inside the curlies if you were writing a grep or sort block in perl. $_, $a, and $b are filenames, as displayed in the window title bar. Grep and sort can be invoked on the command line as well, via the --grep and --sort commandline options. Multiple --grep and --sort options can be given; their effects will be cumulative. Note that the sorting is stable: if the current sort operation's comparator finds no difference between two files ($a and $b), their relative ordering will remain unchanged. Currently, this program has a number of unpleasant hacks for working on Windows. It has only been tested on Windows, but my desire is for it to be cross-platform. If you have any feedback on how well it doesn't work on another platform, please send it to me. I appreciate it very much. In reply to Tk Photo Slideshow - Production Release

Hi. I have some code that decides the os of the user, then uses a different path to find a file according to that. here is the code so far:
as you can see, I dont have the paths in for windows or linux. I have a mac so I don't know the paths. All I need is for someone to give me the paths to the folder containing applications on windows and linux. Thanks in advance!Code:String os = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
String path;
if(os.indexOf( "win" ) >= 0){
path =
}else if(os.indexOf( "mac" ) >= 0){
path = "/Applications/Program.jar";
}else if(os.indexOf( "nix") >=0 || os.indexOf( "nux") >=0){
path =

Osorio: I always have faith I can score
Real Valladolid striker Humberto Osorio was a super-sub for his team, leaving the bench in the second half and scoring the equaliser against Real Madrid, with five minutes left on the clock.
Scorer of the equalising goal that almost certainly ends the title bid for Real Madrid, whilst keepin his own team's survival chances alive in the Primera, speaking with GOL TV after the 1-1 draw, Real Valladolid striker Humberto Osorio was delighted with the hard-won point and thankful to God for his opportunity to get such a crucial finish for his team.
"This was a really important game for us. This point takes us out of the relegation zone and now we have to keep fighting. Thanks to God for giving me the opportunity to play and allowing me to score the goal."
Having beaten Barcelona at the José Zorilla and now holding Real Madrid, the key to those performances according to Osorio, has been the determination and the desire of the team.
"We've played really well against great teams. It's important that we've been really enthusiastic and the team made a huge effort, never gave up fighting for the club and for the games."
Appearing from the bench in the second half, whilst he's had to wait patiently for his chances to play, Osorio has never lost confidence in his ability.
"I always have faith that I can score and get opportunities, so I'm really happy with this one."
