bobfrog replied to bobfrog's topic in Events and TournamentsThis tournament is for when the server is finished, not for when the open beta starts. After all it is a beta which is for testing and improving the servers. Maybe we can make one during the beta too (but not at the beginning / in the next months, as I barely have free time)

bobfrog replied to Fauchderial's topic in Suggestionshmm regarding pvp i dont like the changes much (2. and 3.). the more defensive abilities you give the players, the slower the game will become, because more defenses are successfull. and what i really like about bf is that although it is a strategic game, the matches are quick and usually over after 15 minutes. maybe this could be interesting: 1. increase energy production rate 2. increase total power of a well (dont think that this would be usefull in pvp= 3. increase energy return rate from void 4. reduce the ammount of energy lost when a unit dies. for pve the other abilities could be fun though

bobfrog replied to Menchrese's topic in MapsI just had some trouble getting it to run. When starting it,i would get the error "side-by-side configuration invalid" To fix it I had to install the x86 version of this https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26347 (if this doesnt fix it: the version you need is listed in Control Panel -> Event Log, there should be an entry for your error, in the details it shows what it is looking for (and cant find))
will come "soon"
I allready made a model viewer for the drs file + texture. Can share later, but kinda busy right now.
Cool, so it was a problem of blender and not the converter?
dk what went wrong there, maybe ill write a smd exporter somewhen
i wrote you a short skript. every file in the same folder as the exe gets read and a new file with the names replaced by numbers gets output. its pretty slow for ~5mb files (20 seconds) and might give you a virus warning because of the language i chose. rename.exe
i allready contacted him and i have info about that. just didnt have the time yet to work through it. but it doesnt look too complicated, i will give it a try later. what the creator of lightsong did was nothing else than the 010 script that i posted.
did you read the .drs with blender or did you use lightsong to convert from drs and use the output with blender? if its the first case then im very interested in what you did exactly
Reupload 3D Models to Google Drive
bobfrog replied to Kiliangg's topic in Mediafrom the script that i posted in the other thread i guess "struct CSkSkeleton" is the important part. Here a few words about what this 010 template is: it gives the 010 editor a guide on how to read a file. the editor will go through the template line by line and do whatever is said in the line. 1. int Version; //means read 4 bytes, interpret it as an integer and save it in "Version". int versions[3]; //means read 3 integers as before and store them as an array in "versions". 2. struct Point { float X; float Y; float Z; }; //defines a structure called "Point". It doesnt read anything, just defines sth for later use. 3. Point asd; // means: look up what Point is, see that it is 3 floats and then read 12 bytes (a float is 4 bytes long and we have 3 of it) and store the values inside "asd" 4. struct Point { float X; float Y; float Z; } BoneVertices[4]; // this combines all of the before: define a strucutre "Point", read it 4 times and save it as an array in BoneVertices

Atletico Madrid loan out-of-favour midfielder Gelson Martins to struggling Monaco for rest of season
- Gelson Martins has not played for Atletico Madrid at all so far in 2019
- Portuguese player joined La Liga club in the summer, signing as a free agent
- Diego Simeone's side have allowed him to join struggling Monaco in Ligue 1
Atletico Madrid have sent out under-performing Portuguese midfielder Gelson Martins to struggling French side Monaco until the end of this season, the La Liga club announced on Sunday.
Martins, 23, made only one league appearance for Diego Simeone's side since joining as a free agent from Sporting last July.
He has not featured for the Spanish club in any competition so far in 2019.
Atletico Madrid have allowed Gelson Martins to leave the club on loan to Monaco
The Portugal international joins a Monaco side who are fighting against relegation from Ligue 1.
They are currently second bottom in the standings and three points from safety after losing 2-0 to Dijon on Saturday.
The principality club sacked Thierry Henry as coach last week, replacing him with Leonardo Jardim.
Leonardo Jardim has taken over as Monaco boss following the sacking of Thierry Henry
Martins signed as a free agent last summer but has not featured for Atletico in 2019
Jardim led them to the 2016-17 league title and semi-finals of the Champions League but was dismissed earlier this season.
Monaco's next game is a Coupe de la Ligue semi-final against Guingamp this Tuesday.
Atletico are expected to confirm a loan deal for Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata, who passed a medical in the Spanish capital earlier on Sunday.

Here's the Deal

I Recommend...
Foobar2000 v1.3.17 has a clean, minimal, yet highly customizable user interface all while maintaining super fast performance proven with stable system file and hardware usage. And to top it off, in terms of performance, it gives you the option to install the program into a portable application! This can all be customized to your personal use case with Foobar2000 v1.3.17 See More
Can I thumbsup more than once? Personally, long time VLC user. But before VLC, there was this program, this very plain looking program, I don't remember exactly the name. But for some reason, foobar2000 brough back memories. Just installed, and customizing layout now which starts right up on first load. Oh, and I downloaded the stable version, beta has alot of updates and Idk how that version will be. But so far this player will work perfectly! And it's PORTABLE! ok idk why I'm getting so excited, I'm pretty sure you can make any program portable and how often do we really use those properly? One sec as I finish this layout...I'm very picky...wow..this thing is looking great. And it's fast. -(Found a bug on my end, "Dark Grey Orange", "Dark Grey Magenta", and a few others are not working when selected. Those two for example are just "Dark Grey". Maybe the Magenta and Orange parts are shown elsewhere just not in the window I'm currently in?) Ok no biggie. Design/Layout is set. If you don't care, you can set it up which ever way you with 1 click. I went with the "Dark Grey Magenta". Yeah I know, I said it wasn't working. But hopefully it does because that color combination is exactly how my windows is set up. Dark grey windows and a magenta/closer to pink cursor and a few other accents. The magenta really makes things stand out. Hopefully it's not the playlist when I import some stuff, that would be an eye sore. But wait, looks like I can change it? Hmmm. Ok the Layout Editing Mode is legit, perfect for column customizing.... Yeah I'm gonna keep typing, more for personal reference so excuse my compulsive mechanical keyboard clicks if you can hear them from wherever you are.. AH! I was right.the "Magenta" part is the 'Highlight' color. But it looks more Pink than Magenta, so I'm going to brighten it up a little bit. Right? Magenta is brighter than pink no? It's got to be!! Can I add a music library that's on an external HDD? I'm sure I can, but what could I mess up? Welp, gotta google for a sec... ok I didn't find any serious issues. So I'll look more into that later, but basically it seems like iTunes users have a bit more to do if they're storing their conent library on an external. Unless things have changed. Google needs to stop showing these old forum posts so often. Not completely, they're great for most things, but they gotta give the new boards a chance I mean jeeze who knows if a forum from 2006 that says [SOLVED] wil work 12 years later. Google search by date seems to work ok for those types of things. But is it just me? Or does google's search results seem a little off? Especially with the whole naughty filtering. And I'm not talking about professional actresses getting dp'd. I'm starting see sites that are just simply...too nice? No F that! Too CORPORATE!! Just cuz they're titles and descriptions sound so welcoming, yeah uhhuh, I'm on to you, whoever you are, spending thousands of dollars on ad marketing leaving all the smaller sites on page 3. Ok, now. Adding the Path [3:16am] ..Initializing... ..[42gb Library].. Status shows "Monitoring" now [3:19am] That's fair no? I mean, 3 seconds, I didn't need to copy anything I think. Let's see what's next, ok so I guess go to Open. Nope, I don't want to open one file. I guess i need to make a Folder. Ok good, I'll just add "John Mayer" from my Discography directory [mp3], and yes "Kevin Gates - Islah (2016)" from the albums directory since that is the only album I have in FLAC atm. So I want to try the two formats. Screw it I selected the entire folder structer and it took less than a second and everything is loaded up. Playlist looks clean. I like it so far. Meta data is all there. Nice. Oh wow, the meta data really is everywhere. But that's probably because these are legit cd rips. Damn I'm good. Oh sorry, this is about foobar... Soooo now I press on the triangle button sideways? Nooo?! Ok i do now! Off the bat! Looks amazing. Smooth. Simple. Easy. I'm only into the main interface. They have alot of features on their site. Definitely keeping. Windows default media apps are gone. VLC gone too, but only because I'm on a fresh install of windows and I guess no reason to re-install it now. I like the customization with just the stock UI. I don't like 3rd party addons and tools, so I try to avoid those as much as possible. The default customization will do. I love it! Thanks! -Gromexe See More
Damian Gromek's Experience
Through the use of a plugin (of which there are three popular ones) users can get bit exact sound output straight to their DAC or soundcard. While not something every user will use, for audiophiles this is a pretty important feature. See More
Powerful query capabilities! See More
TolerantIlmr's Experience
At first launch, the player's only step is a simple basic layout configuration wizard which lets you customize the main view of the user interface to your liking. This part gets more into detail when you enable "Layout Editing Mode". There you can add/remove block elements, columns, and even the ability to rename those columns! So "Playlists", by default, can be anything you want. Additionally, color & font customization is possible through the "Default User Interface" preference options along with theme export and import options as a backup, but it's so simple to setup, that redoing everything wouldn't even be that much of a hassle. See More
In foobar2000, the Converter Component supports ripping Audio CD's as well as transcoding, to and from, any of the following audio formats: MP3, MP4, AAC, CD Audio, WMA, Vorbis, Opus, FLAC, WavPack, WAV, AIFF, Musepack, Speex, AU, SND. Other formats can be introduced with additional components if needed. Application development is consistently updated making it a reliable choice for a stable application with routine bug fixes, some of which you may never encounter. See More
VLC is a media player first and foremost. There is no library management, aside from playlists, usage of tags is very limited, no rating system and VLC is best at playing a file directly from a folder as opposed to helping you manage or find good songs in your music library. See More
Includes support for services such as Ampache, Google Play Music, Spotify as well as many internet radio stations such as Jamendo and Icecast. It is possible to make a search on all available sources (local and online) at once as well as mixed content playlists. See More
One of the best players I've ever encountered! See More
VigilantMethe's Experience
Other music players usually require separate plugins for this, but AIMP comes by default with the modern WASAPI (Windows Audio Session API) audio output support thus providing purest sound output unadultered by the Windows mixer (in WASAPI Exclusive mode) out of the box. See More
AIMP has a digital sound processor manager which lets you apply sound effects to the output audio in real-time. These effects include: echo, reverberation, Flanger, Chorus, bass, enhancer, speed, tempo, and pitch. It also has a voice remover feature for stereo audio files. See More
While mostly bare-bones, Music Player Daemon does include a few features which help make it perform well. Buffer support ensures that your music continues to play without interruption even when your system is under an extremely heavy (but temporary) load, gapless playback starts loading a song just before it's needed so that it's ready to play the instant the last song ends. Meanwhile, crossfading allows your songs to blend into one another for continuous playback. See More
Song Director automatically scans your computer for audio files and builds a searchable database of all your music. Once this database is built, you unleash the full power of a modern database system to search, play, and organize your music. See More

text: Just before noon it was about 50 degrees. I put on tights, had a big bowl of Bear Naked granola with yogurt and a banana, and went running. It has been a while since I have been that cold. It has been a perpetual summer since last February. I am glad that I will be continuing it. The cold is fun when you are warm. Everyone here is getting ready for the winter, snowboards, jackets, and heavy layers are on sale. Here are some pictures from my last warm weather run. I found a snake. I like the outdoors. Of course I should stop harassing the wildlife.

Optical properties of high-pressure fluid hydrogen across molecular dissociation
Contributed by David M. Ceperley, March 12, 2019 (sent for review November 5, 2018; reviewed by Russell J. Hemley and Ronald Redmer)

The properties of warm, dense hydrogen are important in material science, plasma physics, planetary science, and astrophysics. We present simulations of its behavior in relation to ongoing, and in some cases controversial, results from static- and dynamic-compression experiments. The optical properties of dense liquid hydrogen are computed under conditions such that hydrogen is changing from a molecular insulating fluid into an atomic metallic fluid. The computed reflectivity and absorption of light agree with recent experimental observations and reconcile the observations with each other, leading to an understanding of this transition, thereby guiding future experimental and theoretical work, as well as being useful for planetary and astrophysical models.
Optical properties of compressed fluid hydrogen in the region where dissociation and metallization is observed are computed by ab initio methods and compared with recent experimental results. We confirm that at T > 3,000 K, both processes are continuous, while at T < 1,500 K, the first-order phase transition is accompanied by a discontinuity of the dc conductivity and the thermal conductivity, while both the reflectivity and absorption coefficient vary rapidly but continuously. Our results support the recent analysis of National Ignition Facility (NIF) experiments [Celliers PM, et al. (2018) Science 361:677–682], which assigned the inception of metallization to pressures where the reflectivity is ∼0.3. Our results also support the conclusion that the temperature plateau seen in laser-heated diamond-anvil cell (DAC) experiments at temperatures higher than 1,500 K corresponds to the onset of optical absorption, not to the phase transition.

According to reports in England, Arsenal are interested in making a move for Alberto Moreno. The defender's future at Liverpool has been up in the air for quite some time now, after failing to break back into the first team at Anfield. The 26 year old is still considered to be a world class defender in some respects by many top clubs around Europe, with one such example being Barcelona who are also said to be interested in signing him.
The Gunners, though, have been on a strong run as of late with nine straight wins under their belt, and staying in English football could prove to be an appealing prospect for Moreno. Whatever the case may be, however, it seems like he won't switch clubs until the end of the summer, just in case an opportunity to make his mark in the first team again presents itself with the Reds.

If so, don't mention it to RealAgriculture resident agronomist Peter Johnson – he may have a conniption. After he stops shaking, WheatPete will tell you that there is no benefit to putting nitrogen on wheat until… Read More
The price of wheat is down, yes, but there are premiums for protein, and RealAgriculture agronomist Peter Johnson thinks there's an opportunity to cash in. In this episode of the Wheat School, Johnson looks at new nitrogen research from University of Manitoba researcher Amy Mangin. It provides evidence of how growers can pump up their protein… Read More
How confident are you in your selected nitrogen (N) rate for wheat? Do you adjust that number based on yield potential? Variety? Soil type? How much N is enough to reach maximum potential? You might be surprised to learn that existing nitrogen rate recommendations are based off of older research, with older varieties, and without… Read More
Peter Johnson is back with another episode in our 'Real' Wheat Farmers series. This time our RealAgriculture's resident agronomist is gleaning management tips from Hugh Dietrich who farms with his family at Lucan, Ontario. Dietrich's advice for Johnson starts with the need to put phosphorus down with wheat in the fall. Tile drainage is also a… Read More
The bushel is a critical unit in grain farming. It's used to describe volume in many contexts, including a crop's yield per acre, the amount of grain that fits in a truck or bin, and as a fundamental piece of information in grain sales contracts. But not all bushels are the same. More specifically, a… Read More
Canada has a stellar grain safety record and reputation, but the president of Cereals Canada believes there needs to be more awareness of one specific mycotoxin that can show up after the crop is in the bin: ochratoxin A, or OTA. OTA is a potent toxin produced by fungus in storage. It's considered to be… Read More
Whatever you do, get out there and plant your wheat. That's the message agronomist Peter Johnson has for Ontario wheat growers in this episode of the Wheat School. "Either plant into moisture or plant in dust," says Johnson, who notes that many growers across the province are hesitant to plant because of widespread dry soil conditions…. Read More
Not often do you hear of wheat outyielding corn, but that's the case in our latest episode in the 'Real' Wheat Farmers series. RealAgriculture resident agronomist Peter Johnson can barely contain himself when Arthur, Ontario farmer Shawn Schill of Shawridge Farms tells him that one 200-acre field yielded 154 bu/ac of wheat, beating the average corn… Read More
Winter durum wheat isn't grown in Western Canada, but the possible benefits have breeders working on developing it. As Jamie Larsen with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Lethbridge discusses in this Wheat School episode, winter durum could perform well during dry years, and face reduced fusarium head blight (FHB) risk compared with spring durum. "We are… Read More
Stripe rust was back in Ontario wheat fields again in 2017. This year the presence of the disease was first confirmed in Essex County by AGRIS Co-operative.

Got my shiny new DVD of Sherlock Series 2 which was just released 23rd January :D:D:D.
Letting you guys know what's included on the DVDs :).
It's a region 2 and 4 DVD so if you're purchasing the DVD overseas make sure it's actually playable on your DVD player ;).
Disc 1 contains:
A Scandal in Belgravia, including audio commentary by Sue Vertue, Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat, Benedict Cumberbatch and Lara Pulver.
The Hounds of Baskerville, including audio commentary by Russell Tovey, Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat and Sue Vertue.
Disc 2 contains:
The Reichenbach Fall (no commentaries this time I'm afraid).
Extra - Sherlock Uncovered.(a 30mins behind-the-scenes with cast and crew).
Time to enjoy the deliciousness once more! :)
Now for some interesting tidbits I picked up from the commentaries. Warning: Potential episode spoilers ;).
From the "A Scandal in Belgravia" commentary:
- The idea for the infamous "Stayin Alive" ringtone at the pool scene actually came from Sue Vertue, who was inspired when a phone went off inappropriately at a funeral she attended ;).
- They filmed the continuation of the pool scene in August so it was really hot wearing the suits and all when filming LOL.
- Geek Interpreter and Speckled Blonde are nods to Greek Interpreter and Speckled Band respectively :P.
- Benedict joked that he regrets having Sherlock eat something (when John is typing up the Speckled Blonde case) as he would have liked to maintain the illusion of Sherlock never eating anything XD.
- Mark and Steven giggled like schoolgirls when deerstalker!Sherlock made its debut.
- The part where Irene is caressing the newspaper pic of Sherlock, Lara said the immaculate red nails took hours to do :P.
- Sheet!Lock scene is Lara's fav bit of the episode. It's mine as well :).
- When filming the sheet!Lock scene where Mycroft steps on the sheet, Benedict fell over and went whoomph on the carpet. The crew all laughed at this. ROFL! They said they were thinking of including this in the bloopers reel...SO WHY IS THERE NO BLOOPER REEL ON THIS DVD?!!! I DEMAND THIS OUTTAKE NOW! :P
- The white dress Irene wears is by Alexander McQueen.
- Benedict loved doing the slow-mo fight scene with the CIA agents and would be proud to show it to his grandchildren XD. Apparently the camera used to film it can only record 17secs of footage before it needs to wind down and recharge HEH.
- The Irene drugging Sherlock scene was an idea re-used from the pilot. Mark and Steven sure do enjoy some Sherlock whumpage XD.
- The actors were attacked by lots of midges when they were filming out in the beautiful field where the boomerang incident took place.
- The part which transitions from the field to the bed, they used a hydraulic bed that can be raised upright. All of the crew nearby cheered and were very impressed with this.
- The japanese framed writing in Sherlock's bedroom is a nod to the Baritsu technique. a form of mixed martial art which Sherlock used in The Final Problem when facing Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls.
- The "Refit for Historic Hospital" which was conspiciously shown on the newspaper Sherlock was reading was originally supposed to have played into the third episode but they didn't use this plot-device in the end. Scaffolding work was supposed to have been done on Barts Hospital...hmmmn there's another possible clue for Sherlock surviving the fall ;).
- Benedict can play 3 or 4 tunes from memory on the violin. Awww bless :D.
- Mark loved the comedic timing from Rupert Graves after Molly asks Lestrade about his wife and Sherlock is a total asshole and tells him his wife is cheating on him.
- Lara had to record several versions of the orgasmic sigh ringtone. Mark said one of them sounded like she was constipated HAHAHA XD.
- Benedict said they had to do several takes of the smoking scene. He enjoyed the first cigarette, but after a few takes started feeling rather ill. He said "Don't smoke kids, it messes you up" XD.
- The part where we see the profiles of Mycroft and Sherlock outside the morgue, Mark and Steven said they would make wonderful stamps. I concur! :)
- Mark squees over the "man-love" or "m-ove" between John and Sherlock when John is angry at Irene faking her death and not telling Sherlock she's alive.
- The commentators are all impressed at Benedict's amazing acting abilities when he makes his I'm-gonna-cut-a-bitch face when he realises the CIA agents have kidnapped and hurt Mrs Hudson.
- Sue has received a ridiculous amount of emails about Sherlock's coat and wonders why Belstaff don't make such a popular coat anymore.
- Lara does a lovely squeaky impression of "right on my bins" ;).
- The commentators all fancy Rupert <3. Observe:
- Mark Gatiss: He's so dishy
- Lara Pulver: He is, isn't he?
- Benedict Cumberbatch: (dreamily) Yeah, he is.
- Steven Moffat: Yeaaah.
- Benedict: We all fancy you, Rupert.
- It was Benedict's idea to have Sherlock raid Mrs Hudson's fridge for a mince pie, just to show how much of a motherly figure she is to him :D.
- Benedict said memorising the plane deduction part was certainly a mouthful and was glad Martin and Lara were so patient with him until he got it right :).
- Mark and Steven describe this scene as intellectual flirting between Sherlock and Irene.
- They shot the plane scene around 4am so they had some extras falling asleep and snoring, meaning they had to do takes until they made sure everyone was awake LOL!
- One of the original ideas was to have Mycroft sit on one of the plane seats and switch on his overhead light when Sherlock arrived just to make his point, but they scraped this idea as they thought it was too silly to have Mycroft waiting there for hours until Sherlock came XD.
- Steven was worried that people would guess the "Sherlocked" code easily but was glad it came as such a surprise and was a that-was-actually-so-obvious moment.
- The part where Mycroft and John meet outside Speedy's was shot when the riots were happening in August 2011. They said the crew and cast fled when the police came and said they had to leave for their safety. Those were dark days last year :(.
- Mark said it would have been wonderful to have Mycroft flashback to when Sherlock wanted to be a pirate...WHY DID YOU GUYS NOT INCLUDE THIS IN THE EPISODE THEN?!!! XD
- Sue jokes that perhaps Sherlock wanted to keep the phone since it was so expensive :P.
- Mark calls Benedict "Lawrence of Cumberbatch" when he's wearing the Middle-Eastern clothes. WIN! :D
From the "The Hounds of Baskerville" commentary:
- Russell said his nephew has sticky-out ears like him (HEH!) so he came in and auditioned for the part of mini-Henry but unfortunately he was too young and the part went to someone else.
- The harpoon scene is a nod to The Adventure of Black Peter. In that story, Sherlock was INDEED out all morning harpooning pigs and getting blood all over himself XD. He was investigating the murder of a sea captain who was impaled and pinned to the wall of his cabin with a harpoon.
- Mark and Steven said they have read ALL the Sherlock Holmes books. Good going you fanboys :P.
- The cigarette Henry smoked was a fake as it is illegal to smoke on the 221B Baker Street set. Instead they used some sort of honey roast thing LOL.
- Since Mark rides on trains a lot, the Sherlock deduces Henry's antics on the train scene was inspired by a person sat opposite him spilling their coffee and mopping it up.
- Russell gushed about the 221B Baker Street set and said there were lots of stuff he wanted to take home ;).
- Mark jokes the script took 2000 years to complete XD.
- The story Fletcher tells about the Ministry of Defence man who saw the weird and wonderful stuff is actually based on a true story...LOL if you say so ;).
- One of the monkeys they used for filming during the lab scenes was very good at masturbation. Ok too much information there guys :P.
- Yup, that was Mycroft in the Diogenes club! :D
- Major Barrymore's beard was stuck on, as apparently you can't have a beard in the army (but you can in the navy). Since Baskerville is a quasi-military complex anyway, Mark decided to stick a beard on Barrymore as a nod to the bearded character in the original story.
- The Sherlock putting his collar up and cheekbones! gag was originally supposed to go at a different point in the episode but they thought it worked here as well.
- Each episode takes around 4 weeks to shoot.
- Mark and Steven were debating on whether to have Sherlock drive or not. The clincher was Martin being unable to drive, so they decided to let Sherlock do the driving! :)
- The "Are you rich?" line spoken by John is a nod to Jaws the movie.
- Russell said he was trying to play Henry not as a gibbering wreck but as a man who was mature but damaged by his experiences.
- Mark had great fun putting his cheeky twist on the morse code part from the original story ;).
- After the U.M.Q.R.A. scene was filmed, this happened to poor Sue :P:
- Sue Vertue: We got back at five o'clock in the morning or something, to the hotel and -
- Steven Moffat: Couldn't get in.
- Sue Vertue: Couldn't get in.
- Steven Moffat: Some utter fool -
- Sue Vertue: Which turned out to be Benedict.
- Steven Moffat: Yes, that's where I was going with that! He had accidently locked you out of the Bed and Breakfast.
- Russell Tovey: What? I was sitting up with him that night drinking!
- "Dewers Hollow" is a natural rock formation and was a nightmare for the lighting people to access.
- Mark calls Sherlock's coat the "Hero coat" <3.
- The original plan was to make 6 x 60mins episodes per series, but they eventually went with 3 x 90mins for much more meaty episodes :).
- Mark worked closely together with Russell during the security lights scares Henry scene to make sure he got the reactions he wanted :P.
- Graveyard scene was shot in Wales, not Dartmoor, on the first day of filming.
- Lestrade's brown-as-a-nut look was because Rupert had just come back from filming Death in Paradise and was looking particularly tanned. As it was hard to ignore, it was written into the script XD.
- Mark and Steven joke that Lestrade should have his own spin-off series where he goes off on his own without Sherlock and unsuccessfully solves crimes. YES YES YES WANT THIS! :D
- Mark said that the two gay pub owners wasn't a gay agenda (HAHA XD) and they were written in as he thought it was a much more modern sounding scenario rather than the original idea of having an elderly lady own the place.
- The commentators REALLY like that conservatory XD.
- Mark said the glow in the dark rabbit is based on a real life experiment. I do some squeeing here because I have worked with GFP myself :D.
- Mark and Steven agree the Mind Palace of Awesomeness should definitely be revisited in later episodes :).
- H.O.U.N.D. = Hydrogen, oxygen, urine...ROFL XD.
- The H.O.U.N.D. T-Shirt was a Spinal Tap inspired gag.
- Wishbone gets a mention haha! In that TV series Irene Adler was a dog, so the commentators giggle over the fact that "to Sherlock Holmes she was always a bitch" XDXDXD.
- It rained so hard they couldn't film in Dewers Hollow some days.
- The dog that John shot was filmed in a studio on some leaves they gathered. They said it was a gorgeous show-dog.
- Originally the ending of Baskerville was supposed to be Moriarty going into the Tower of London but they felt the timing of it wasn't right so left it for the next episode.
- Nooooo, they were gonna get Andrew Scott to do a commentary for The Reichenbach Fall but he was unavailable :'(.
- LOL Andrew sounds like a really mischevious kinda guy. Sue said when someone tripped over, Andrew joked "I did that" :P. Mark also commented that just before filming Reichenbach, Andrew sent him a picture of himself standing outside Tower Bridge going MUAHAHAHA XD.
- Current Mood: ecstatic

It does not take much detective work to understand that Marxism is, in many respects, another branch of the Judeo-Christian tree, most notably in its millenarian fantasies, but also in, one way or another, its sanctification of poverty.
Many religions, of course, have saints and in this intriguing piece for Quillette, partly based on his father's own acquaintance with Guevara, George Schifini looks at the cult of Che. There's so much in this article about the transformation of an almost certainly psychotic killer into a saint that it's hard to know where to begin.
One aspect of the piece that is perhaps worth highlighting is how quickly Che's transformation into something with a touch of the divine about him began:
"The cult of Che began within hours of Guevara's execution by a Bolivian army sergeant. After his body was placed in the Vallegrande, Bolivia, hospital laundry room, hospital nuns, the nurse who washed his body, as well as several women of the town, had the impression that the dead Argentine resembled Jesus Christ and clipped snippets of his hair to keep for good luck. "
And that cult has endured. Helped, doubtless, by that iconic photograph of Guevara taken by Alberto Korda, it has been shown, to use a wonderful phrase of Schifini's, to have "the wattage to light up the religious circuits of the human mind for the long haul." Put another way, the circumstances of Guevara's life and death and the iconography (including some of the photographs of his corpse) that came with it have offered enough for the 'God gene' to work with.
"In the village of Vallegrande… some of the locals pray and attribute miracles to San Ernesto. A nurse who washed Guevara's body said, "None dies as long as he is remembered. He is very miraculous"…. In Cuba, the Afro-Cuban faith Santeria has incorporated Guevara (as a black man) as a divine entity that can, for the supplicant, intercede with God…. But it's the secular world that keeps the Che cult from withering."
That's not so surprising. The secular world has the technology and the money to keep a cult going, and it has, for many of its inhabitants, a spiritual gap to fill. The God gene does not switch off in what are nominally secular societies. It merely finds a different outlet. It didn't hurt, of course, that what Guevara was preaching was merely a variant of a long-established template.
And this also helped:
Ernesto Guevara was born, raised, and died in the Latin American milieu of Christianity. The Bolivian women who tended to the corpse of Guevara reported that he resembled Jesus Christ, and not, unsurprisingly, Osiris, Zoroaster, Krishna, or Buddha. As we have seen, many analyses by secular intellectuals of Che instinctively draw on analogues with Christianity and its eponymous divinity. In Latin America, and arguably Western society, the "mythic lore" of Jesus Christ is one the "filaments of myth that are everywhere in the air" acting as magnets to "the great and little heroes of the world" (Campbell, 1964). Guevara's narrative, in particular his death—the whereabouts of Che's body was unknown for decades—contains a strong field of mythic magnetism to attach itself to the Christ myth…
…When Campbell wrote of the filaments of myths that floated in the "air," he argued that myth did its heavy lifting in the human mind. He defined a "functioning mythology" as a "corpus of culturally maintained sign stimuli" that catalyze a release of energy. Myth functions as a sign, stimuli triggering an innate releasing mechanism, terms borrowed from ethology, the science of animal behavior.
Schifini's father had asked what could keep the cult of Che from becoming a religion.
After all:
The Ernesto "Che" Guevara narrative, now more mythology than primary source history, and the Korda photo contain an abundance of "sign stimuli."
To Schifini's father, the way that religions began was that "a messianic man kills and is killed and decades, perhaps centuries later, is worshiped as a deity":
Schifini's father was astonished that his path had crossed, however briefly, with such a man:
"My father didn't believe in religion…He probably didn't believe in a god or gods, although I can't be sure because we never explicitly discussed the topic. I wish he were still around to talk of all these things. "
We should be grateful that the son still is.

New Era, New Priests: E.R. Dodds, Rome, Christianity and Intersectionality
1 Comment · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in history, Religion
Writing in the American Conservative, here's Gilbert Sewall on the Oxford classicist, E.R. Dodds. Read the whole thing, really, but here is Sewall discussing Dodds' Pagans and Christians in an Age of Anxiety (1965):
In 380, Theodosius I declared Christianity the official religion of the Empire, proscribing all other religions. Temples were closed, property confiscated, pagan holidays prohibited, and Olympic games ended. Freedom of religion vanished.
Olympic Games ended – not all bad then.
This obnoxious self-confidence made Christians many enemies among ordinary Romans. "Like all creeds which claim the total allegiance of the individual—like communism, for example, in our own day—early Christianity was a powerful divisive force," Dodds said, using italics to make his point
To educated pagans, blind faith rendered Christianity contemptible. But what had been no more than an administrative nuisance or psychological curiosity in the early Empire became an actual menace to its stability and security: a state within the state, a secret society that disrupted social cohesion…
Why did the Christians win the Roman culture wars? First, the anything-goes ecumenism of late antiquity led to "too many cults, too many mysteries, too many philosophies of life to choose from: you could pile one religious insurance on another yet not feel safe," Dodds explained. "Christianity made a clean sweep." The Church cared for widows and orphans, the old, unemployed, and disabled. Most important, the Church created a community that gave self-respect and meaning to lives, provided human warmth, and offered hope.
Since Dodds wrote, the Western world's educated and powerful have for the most part abandoned Christianity. Multimedia blur fiction and fact, making fantasies appear real and true. In such a world, what rubrics will provide a moral anchor and semblance of community? What voices will give lives meaning and direction?
As I've mentioned before, the need for "meaning" remains elusive to me, but it is undeniable that that is something most people appear to want—something, like religion itself, that appears to be hardwired within our species, presumably because it fulfilled and, indeed, fulfills, an evolutionary purpose.
The 'New Atheists' who want to get rid of religion are on a hiding to nothing. There will always be religion. The only question is the form or forms it will take.
Washington-based journalist Andrew Sullivan has likened today's campus activists to a religious sect, one that finds redemption through confession of white guilt and privilege, conversion, adoption of esoteric language, and adherence to a strict moral system. "Liberalism and empiricism have parted company," warns political philosopher John Gray, an academic leftist and no friend of religion, in the Times Literary Supplement.
I have posted something on some of what Sullivan has been saying here and on Gray too (most recently) here.
In this context, it is worth noting this comment by Gray ('academic leftist' is not, incidentally, quite the right label: Where he stands is more complex than that) :
[Mill's] assertion that human beings would prefer intellectual freedom over contented conformity was at odds with his empiricist philosophy. Essentially unfalsifiable, it was a matter of faith.
But conformity is not comfortable for all, and part of the comfort it does give lies in bestowing a power to enforce that conformity on others, power that is pleasurable in itself, but also as a demonstration of a superior morality.
A rising quasi-religion propagates articles of holy faith through academic and corporate workshops, training sessions, and safe-zone certifications. In deconstructing canonical works, defaming ancient heroes, denouncing thought crimes, destroying icons and symbols, and closing down opposing viewpoints as hateful, it displays humorless fanaticism….
[T]he emerging intersectional priesthood has no intention of ceding secular power or accommodating adversaries. As an elect mindful of the responsibility to crush lies, convinced of its superior moral vision, it demands greater temporal power to redeem and punish recalcitrants.
As Dodds showed, belief systems that seem absurd to non-believers can and do create state-enforced thought monopolies. Once institutionalized, they can remain in power for long periods of time. Those who refuse to embrace sacred mandates and hierarchies are deplorable. They are mad, stupid, or evil, not merely stubborn or freethinking. Heresy contaminates. Nonconformists deserve legal reprisals, stigma, and ruin. To expunge the demonic threat, autos da fé, psychiatric hospitals, labor camps, and confiscations—many possible tools—are available to enforce divinely inspired righteousness.
Good times.

"A cult is a religion with no political power."
Mobile Phone, Immobile Superstition
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in Religion
Yet another reminder that, to quote (yet again) Carl Jung, the Middle Ages…live on merrily.
The Catholic Herald:
Priests have been carrying out exorcisms over the phone as demand continues to rise, a Cardinal has said.
Speaking at the Vatican's annual exorcist training conference in Rome, Cardinal Ernest Simoni said priests are delivering prayers of liberation, part of the exorcism ritual, remotely.
"There are priests who carry out exorcisms on their mobile phones. That's possible thanks to Jesus," he said.
However, some warned that the practice was not wise, as people who are possessed often writhe around violently and have to be restrained during exorcisms….
Annual exorcist training conference?
Around 250 priests from 50 countries are attending this year's conference at the Regina Apostolorum university as prelates from around the world report an increase in demand for exorcisms.
The course started in 2004, and since then the number of priests attending each year has more than doubled.
And this pope, of course, that man of science who has taken it upon himself to lecture us all about climate change, will approve:
In his most recent apostolic exhortation, Gaudete et Exsultate, Pope Francis warns that the devil is not a myth but a "personal being who assails us"
"We should not think of the devil as a myth, a representation, a symbol, a figure of speech or an idea," the Pope wrote. "This mistake would leave us to let down our guard, to grow careless and end up more vulnerable."
And among his naughty tricks is, lest we forget, same sex marriage.
Or so this pope believes:
Here's a 2010 story from the National Catholic Register about the then Cardinal Bergoglio (my emphasis added):
A Jesuit cardinal has become the latest Church leader to speak out forcefully against a government's push towards same-sex marriage, and has called on his nation's contemplatives to pray fervently to prevent such laws.
According to an article in tomorrow's L'Osservatore Romano, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires and Primate of Argentina, has said that if a proposed bill giving same-sex couples the opportunity to marry and adopt children should be approved, it will "seriously damage the family."
He made the statement in a letter addressed to each of the four monasteries in Argentina, asking the contemplatives to pray "fervently" that legislators be strengthened to do the right thing.
He wrote: "In the coming weeks, the Argentine people will face a situation whose outcome can seriously harm the family…At stake is the identity and survival of the family: father, mother and children. At stake are the lives of many children who will be discriminated against in advance, and deprived of their human development given by a father and a mother and willed by God. At stake is the total rejection of God's law engraved in our hearts."
Cardinal Bergoglio continued: "Let us not be naive: this is not simply a political struggle, but it is an attempt to destroy God's plan. It is not just a bill (a mere instrument) but a 'move' of the father of lies who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."

Liberalism as Faith
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in history, Religion
Cross-posted on the Corner (and a post, I would hope, that 'Secular Humanists' would read):
The British philosopher John Gray is not someone to shy away from 'difficult' topics. If you are looking for a provocative long read this weekend, his new article in the Times Literary Supplement ought to be a contender. I didn't agree with all of it (for example, I would argue that the supposedly secular totalitarianisms of the twentieth century—essentially millenarian sects, as Gray rightly observes—were even more 'religious' than even he would claim), not that that matters.
Above all, Gray's take on where the arguments of John Stuart Mill, one of the saints of traditional liberalism, have led is, to say the least, intriguing.
An extract:
[Mill's] assertion that human beings would prefer intellectual freedom over contented conformity was at odds with his empiricist philosophy. Essentially unfalsifiable, it was a matter of faith.
While he never faced up to the contradictions in his thinking, Mill was fully aware that he was fashioning a new religion. Much influenced by Auguste Comte, he was an exponent of what he and the French Positivist philosopher described as "the Religion of Humanity". Instead of worshipping a transcendent divinity, Comte instructed followers of the new religion to venerate the human species as "the new Supreme Being". Replacing the rituals of Christianity, they would perform daily ceremonies based in science, touching their skulls at the point that phrenology had identified as the location of altruism (a word Comte invented). In an essay written not long before the appearance of On Liberty but published posthumously (he died in 1873), Mill described this creed as "a better religion than any of those that are ordinarily called by that title".
That may or may not be true, but at least Mill recognized its essentially religious nature, not that that took much doing.
Like Comte, [Mill] believed that humanity is a progressive species, though he diverged profoundly in how he understood progress. And what is "humanity"? The conception of humankind as a collective agent gradually achieving its goals is not reached by observation.
Like the brotherhood of man, just another delusion, unless it's old Cain who we have in mind. Whether it is—as some delusions can be—a useful or even necessary delusion is a different question.
But back to Gray:
The politics of identity is a postmodern twist on the liberal religion of humanity. The Supreme Being has become an unknown God – a species of human being nowhere encountered in history, which does not need to define itself through family or community, nationality or any religion….
Liberals who are dismayed at the rise of the new intolerance have not noticed how much they have in common with those who are imposing it. Hyper-liberal "snowflakes", who demand safe spaces where they cannot be troubled by disturbing facts and ideas, are what their elders have made them. Possessed by faith in an imaginary humanity, both seek to weaken or destroy the national and religious traditions that have supported freedom and toleration in the past…
Food for thought, to say the least.

The Devil as Recruiting Sergeant
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in Religion
The Middle Ages, as that dodgy sage Carl Jung once wrote, "live on… merrily". That's no surprise, really. Superstition will always be with us, in new forms—and in old.
ROME – With reported demonic possessions on the rise in Italy, the Vatican is hosting a week-long training to better prepare exorcists for ministry. Catholic leaders have said that the country needs more exorcists, and better training.
"Today we are at a stage crucial in history: Many Christians no longer believe in [the devil's] existence, few exorcists are appointed and there are no more young priests willing to learn," said one of the event's speakers, exorcist Father Cesare Truqui, according to Vatican News.
Now, of course, it's true that the devil has a major role to play both in the traditional Christian story and in some expressions of Christian belief today (some: I don't remember him playing much of a role in the teachings of the splendidly mild Church of England in which I was raised). Nevertheless, it's interesting to see the obvious concern with which Father Truqui contemplates the fact that many Christians apparently no longer believe in Old Nick. Part of the reason for the anxiety that causes him will, undoubtedly, be spiritual, but on reading that paragraph, with its giveaway claim that we have arrived at a "crucial" stage (there always has to be a crisis; see Rahm Emmanuel for details), it's hard not to detect the professional anxiety of someone who is worried that the demand for his guild's services may no longer be required.
But more than that, it's revealing that this conference is being hosted at the Vatican. The current Pope, like all demagogues someone with a shrewd grasp of what pulls in the crowds, is noticeable for the emphasis he places on the devil. He knows that fear is a good recruiter.
What that does to the mental health of the psychologically vulnerable is not something that appears to count for too much.
Abusing "Frankenstein"
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in culture
Ronald Bailey, writing in Reason:
The meme of Frankenstein as a mad scientist who unleashed a disastrously uncontrollable creation on the world has been hijacked by anti-modernity, anti-technology ideologues to push for all manner of bans and restrictions on the development and deployment of new technologies…
For decades, the specter of Frankenstein's monster has been invoked whenever researchers report dramatic new developments, from the use of synthetic biology to build whole genomes from scratch to the invention of new plants and animals that can better feed the world. Experiments in repairing defective genes in human embryos, which have been conducted in China and the U.S., are routinely described as precursors to the creation of "Frankenbabies"—the long-dreaded but not yet seen "designer babies."…
There is nothing immoral in Frankenstein's aspiration to "banish disease from the human frame, and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death." The people who will choose to use safe enhancements to bestow upon themselves and their progeny stronger bodies, more robust immune systems, nimbler minds, and longer lives will not be monsters, nor will they create monsters. Instead, those who seek to hinder the rest of us from availing ourselves of these technological gifts will rightly be judged moral troglodytes.
Despite the din raised by anti-technology ideologues and the claque of conservative bioethicists, our world is not filled with out-of-control Frankensteinian technologies. While missteps have occurred, the openness and collaborative structure of the scientific enterprise encourages researchers to take responsibility for their findings. During the past 200 years, scientific research has indeed poured "a torrent of light into our dark world." At nearly every scale, technological progress has given us greater control over our fates and made our lives safer, freer, and wealthier.
The punch thrown at "the claque of conservative bioethicists" is well aimed: They are, for the most part, a wannabe priestly caste trying to wrap ancient superstitious fears in the modern, more respectable-sounding name of bio-ethics. In reality what they are peddling is the same old same old, Prometheus, Galileo and all that.
Bailey concludes:
Victor Frankenstein variously condemns his creature as a "demon," a "devil," and a "fiend." But that is not quite right. "My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy," the creature insists. "I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend." He was endowed with the capacity for hope, sharing the same moral faculties and free will exercised by human beings.
Frankenstein is not a tale about a mad scientist who looses an out-of-control creature upon the world. It's a parable about a researcher who fails to take due responsibility for nurturing the moral capacities of his creation. Victor Frankenstein is the real monster.
Ideologies of Undivided Devotion
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in history, politics, Religion
From Yuri Slezkine's magnificent The House of Government', a Saga of the Russian Revolution, a book centered around the idea that Bolshevism was, at its heart, just another millenarian sect, if a peculiarly malevolent one:
"Of the seventeen prisoners, thirteen, amongst whom were close friends of Radek, had been condemned to death, while he himself and three others had been sentenced only to imprisonment. The judge had read the verdict, and all of us had listened to it standing up..
Radek offered himself—along with Bukharin, among other friends—as a scapegoat, a metaphor of unopposed temptation, the embodiment of forbidden thought. He may not have murdered anybody, or even conspired with any murderers, but in Bolshevism, as in Christianity or any other ideology of undivided devotion, it was the thought that counted. "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
His offer was accepted. Radek, an enabler of mass murder, was sentenced to ten years in a Soviet concentration camp, where he was killed. He need not be mourned.

Kutuhal DIY Hydroelectricity Power Kit
Seeing this you must be thinking that the whole kit runs on batteries. But the interesting part is. It doesn't. Yes! It's a non-battery operative toy that can help him know, how water generates electricity. Your choices will indirectly mold his favorites and his choices too. Suppose in your house, papa bear is fond of photography. Then you kid will either be fond of being photographed (you mean like a model?), yes. Or he could try his hands on photography, just like his pops. See, this is how parenting works. So for igniting his mind with curiosity, make a wise choice.
Darling Toys Sensor Control by Palm Batman Helicopter

But don't worry about his career from now on. Let him enjoy his childhood.

He would either keep it as one of his collectibles or he would box it in some safe place. So let's gift wrap this battery-operated die cast bike
City Road and Pavement Making Kit
This is quite an interesting toy set. Here, your kid can make roads and pavements on which he can keep his miniature toys. Don't buy this to check if he will be interested civil engineering or architecture. Buy this to develop his brain, to make him learn about organizing things, to let him have fun.
Funskool Game of Life Board Game
If he is not interested in joining abacus class for summers, with this Game at least, he can make his brain exercise. 'Game of Life' is one of the fun games, suitable for every age. He can play this with his friends, siblings and even you could join him. It's a 'Strategy' genre Game. This means your child will use his brain for decision-making along with others. See, if he can win with a largest stash of cash on his hand.
With video games and mobile apps, he cannot develop his creativity, intellect and emotional understanding. Hence in a kid's birthday you should give him Educational Toys as a gift, because only such toys will make him use both sides of his brain.

Cheers to National Bourbon Day, June 14
To celebrate National Bourbon Day, Thursday (June 14) the folks at Maker's Mark Bourbon emailed this recipe. I must say that my experience with bourbon has left my lips numb and my head foggy. Two thumbs of bourbon and I can't remember the day's stresses! My husband says that's because bourbon is a real drink, as in a man's drink, as in much stronger than my favorite Cosmos and Bellinis. Won't he be surprised when I tell him a woman was instrumental in bourbon's evolution?
Maker's Mark is the same spirit today as it was when it was introduced. This premium hand crafted (literally) bourbon with a soft and smooth flavor was approved by a woman! Marjorie Samuels helped shape the bourbon industry in the early 1950s. The red iconic hand-dipped wax was her idea and she also weighed in on the bottle's label and font and the brand name.
Fancy Bourbon Punch
1 liter Maker's Mark Bourbon
1 cup granulated sugar
Peels of 3 lemons and 1 orange
Juice of peeled fruit
1 liter of strong tea (preferably green tea)
250 ml champagne (club soda can be used for a less fancy version)
Freshly grated nutmeg
Combine sugar and citrus peels in the bottom of a punch bowl. Muddle together until sugar starts to clump together. Let sit for about 2 hours, (while not necessary, this does add a little complexity).
Brew the tea for about 30 minutes, remove loose tea or tea bags, and allow to cool.
Add the juice of the peeled fruit, tea, and bourbon. Stir.
Top with champagne just before serving and stir gently. Top with freshly grated nutmeg and serve.

The TEAS – Test of Essential Academic Skills
What Are The Nursing TEAS?
If you're considering a nursing school program, you may be asked to take the TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills). This computerized entrance test is used by a number of nursing schools and programs as a way to determine whether or not students may be accepted into the program.
It is most commonly found at vocational-level training and the community college level; university-based nursing programs typically have their own admissions requirements.
What is On the TEAS?
The TEAS is a four-hour, 170 question, multiple-choice test that covers basic knowledge in the fields of:
- Reading
- Math
- Science
- English/Language Comprehension
The level of difficulty of the test depends entirely on the individual student. It is similar to a GED-level test in which equal emphasis is placed on reading and English as science and math. (Although the TEAS is used to judge admissions to a nursing programs, many other fields also require the test as part of their curriculum, so there is no particular focus on the sciences or nursing.)
Students who struggle in one or more of these areas might find the test to be a challenge, and multiple study resources exist to help you get a high score.
There is no passing/failing score on the TEAS, but the number you get matters to the admissions boards. Many programs require at least a 70 percent score in order to apply, and a higher number may boost your chances of admission or even scholarship opportunities. You may be eligible to take the test a second time during the school's admission cycle, but this depends completely on individual school policy.
When to Take the TEAS
Nursing schools that require the TEAS test will inform you in their admissions packet, and you can expect to take the test prior to the application deadline. Because it is not always administered by the school itself (it is often done through the ATI at a separate testing facility), there is a $110 cost with additional charges for transcripts.
Test scores are typically only valid for two years, so if you took the TEAS in the past and are only now applying to nursing school, you may need to re-test.
