Personal Information
Can I use humanmake models in my game for commercial purpose?
LancerSolurus replied to HassaanAtif's topic in Games Business and LawAccording to their website, you can use any assets you create in commercial and non-commercial products. The only exception is the source code. Short answer is yes.
GOTO, why are you adverse to using it
LancerSolurus replied to LancerSolurus's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingYes, I'm over using goto according to pro standards but not my standards. I know I will never work in the professional arena (only happened once using c#) so I program the way I'm most comfortable with. The code you saw (which I shouldn't have posted) is simply copy/paste for each type of section. It can parse over 900 files in less than 4 seconds, the cache hits are negligible unless someone really has a trashy INI file. I make sure mine are clean and jump back to lp:. What I posted is at the top of the routine and is fully in the cache, even the subroutines. I don't create a new function unless it's used more than once. Anyways the question I asked in the OP has been fully answered, I will never make it in the pro world with my programming style. Cudos to those who posted before i got switched forums. this should have been left in the GDNet lounge.
GOTO, why are you adverse to using it
LancerSolurus replied to LancerSolurus's topic in General and Gameplay Programming@iMalc, I live in an area of the country where Fortran, Cobol and C programmers are in high demand lol, sorry c++ is the lowest I'm willing to go. Will do c# if needed for a tool but it isn't needed around here. At work our OS is Win 98, no thanks, I left VS 6 many years ago...
GOTO, why are you adverse to using it
LancerSolurus replied to LancerSolurus's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI could see where a boolean would work in that case. Anyways most of my code isn't written that way, I uses lots of if statements, for loops, breaks and continues where applicable, subroutines, returns etc. Just wondering, I don't know of any statement besides goto that could be used to break out of an if statement. I could understand that you would quit if you had to work on my code, the example I gave was the most extreme use of it in my code, The naming though I have no trouble with, been using the same short style names for over 20 years, consistency counts a lot. If I don't remember it I say it out loud then it pops into my head, I did just take a year long break from programming of any sort and when I went back to it I had no trouble reading it. I didn't post the whole routine either but it is just test after test like that. It's fast, cache friendly and very stable. Another thing I do is for loops, i,li, j,lj, k,lk, most would give them names, I don't. I start at i and go through the alphabet. i is the loop counter and li is limit counter, always a pair, always in order. I did a little research on RAII and it seems I have been programming my routines that way for a long time, albeit manually, since I use all custom memory handlers and reference counting. They all handle their own cleanup on exit as well, fairly easy to do with classes. Now when it comes to routine names, those are usually fully spelled out except Rem(ove). I have a class template I use for every new class and a program to create it for me. I just name the parts and it spits out a new class ready to plug in. Takes less than a minute to have a fully functional dynamic memory/rendering class to use. EDIT: Wanted to show what I mean about being fast, click on my youtube link below and watch the wandering video, 5% is INI parsing, 95% is DX loading the data. Most of the textures it loads is 1024 x 1024. I will switch to streaming eventually but this will show you that the bottleneck is not the spaghetti code I posted.
GOTO, why are you adverse to using it
LancerSolurus replied to LancerSolurus's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingThats just an example, I don't know beforehand how long the script is in line count. Goto unknown command is there since if rv=false then that is a command that isn't part of that section. If rv=true then it was a valid line so go parse the next line. For ex. if a model had a range attribute (part of the light section) it is an invalid command and should be logged as such. The end of script test is done by this line... if(DBFIO.IsPastEOS()==true) goto ex; The read_line(something) won't work since spl is an array, it's the line split into individual items, the command and all of it's parameters. It also has no return value other than split line (spl). The way it works is it checks for a valid section header such as [light], if it isn't that it continues parsing the individual lines of the current section till it hits another header. As far as sensible names, they make perfect sense to me, short and descriptive. Less typing as well. Yep, it comes from my background in assembly. The names could be up to 255 characters back then though. Like I said, I'm set in my ways and one of them is short names. DynObj is a dynamic object model loaded from a script. For the naming, notice each word starts with a capital, ie Cur(rent) L(i)n(e)C(ou)nt, usually vowels are dropped. Also, I'm the only one who will ever work on the code and won't be releasing it. That code is quite legible compared to some of the legacy code still hanging around in my core library. Anyways any other methods are welcome, always up for learning new things....
GOTO, why are you adverse to using it
LancerSolurus replied to LancerSolurus's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI will post a snippet from my parser which is one of the routines I needed goto the most... lp: if(DBFIO.IsPastEOS()==true) goto ex; DBFIO.ParseCmdLineF(spl); // splits up line CurLnCnt++; if(spl.Cmd=="") goto lp; // empty line spl.Cmd.MakeLower(); And further down in the parsing stage... if(md==true) { rv=Prs_Model(spl,cur); if(rv==true) goto lp; goto unkcmd; } if(obj==true) { rv=Prs_Object(spl,cur); if(rv==true) goto lp; goto unkcmd; } if(dyn==true) { rv=Prs_DynObject(spl,cur); if(rv==true) goto lp; goto unkcmd; } if(lt==true) { rv=Prs_Light(spl,cur); if(rv==true) goto lp; goto unkcmd; } At at the end of the routine is the final cleanup/error reporting... if(fcts==true) { rv=Prs_FctShips(spl,cur,cur2); if(rv==true) goto lp; goto unkcmd; } goto unkcmd; ex: return rv; ovf: ts.Format("Parser : Overflow detected -> %s in line %u",spl.Cmd,CurLnCnt); DB3D.LogError(ts); goto lp; unkcmd: ts.Format("Parser : Unknown command '%s' at line #%u in '%s'",spl.Cmd,CurLnCnt,CurFlnm); DB3D.LogError(ts); goto lp; unksect: ts.Format("Parser : Unknown section '%s' at line #%u in '%s'",spl.Cmd,CurLnCnt,CurFlnm); DB3D.LogError(ts); goto lp; synerr: // syntax error ts.Format("Parser : Syntax error : '%s' at line #%u in '%s'",spl.Cmd,CurLnCnt,CurFlnm); DB3D.LogError(ts); goto lp;
GOTO, why are you adverse to using it
LancerSolurus replied to LancerSolurus's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI also avoid exceptions at all costs. The only time I use them is with file I/O routines. I use the try function and then include a catch block immediately below it. If there is an error I log it and pass it back through the return value. I even have dedicate log routines for plain text, DX errors that use getlasterror for the full error description and several others. Even when I code I build error checking into the code as the routine is constructed. I even split the log into a runtime log and an exit log in-case of a crash during exit. It is also saved to a temp log each time a new scene is loaded in-case of a crash. That was a good article Promit.
GOTO, why are you adverse to using it
LancerSolurus replied to LancerSolurus's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingWow, a lot of posts in 2 days, thanks for all of the replies. I believe Bacterius explained it pretty much the way I use it, cleanup. If I create using new, it needs to be deleted before I leave the routine, otherwise I incur a memory leak. I use break and continue as well. Mainly it's because I'm set in my ways and have no trouble following my own code. I always use the exact same labels for every goto. For exit and cleanup routines, it's ex:, if I want to use a loop without the hassle of dealing with a for statement, it's lp:. On rare occasions I need to reinitialize the loop by going above that code, it's always lp0:. I don't use it a huge amount but it works like this for me, code not executed is CPU cycles not wasted, the same principle of the early Z fail for GPUs. As far as the 1000 lines of code, that was just an example. None of my routines are that large, but the main INI parsing routine comes close (913 lines). Due to it being written that way I can run through 918 INI files in less that 4 seconds because of it being in the cache and it is looping back to the beginning. The most used commands are the first checks such as models and lights. Anyways it's just the way I program, I doubt I will ever have a job in the industry. I use computers at work but it's just for inventory management, nothing more. I'm quite used to it and it may look like spaghetti but I can easily read it due to that I use consistent naming. I haven't use RAII in over a decade, forgot what it's even used for ;) I am interested in some of the other methods of avoiding it that have been mentioned here, if you folks wouldn't mind explaining some of them to me, I would be much abliged for your help,
GOTO, why are you adverse to using it
LancerSolurus posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI am an old school programmer, did many stints in assembly (6502,6510,68000,68030,486,586), basic, fortran, pascal, extended languages, c++, c# etc... I use goto on a regular basis to exit out of routines, skipping many lines of code and only incurring a single cache hit. In over 30+ years I know when the proper use of the command is needed, it's no worse than BREAK or CONTINUE for a loop, actually less in fact. What is your aversion to using that command, is it your workplace or your training? I can skip a thousand lines of code with a single command and a single cache hit. Do you have to jump through hoops to get out of a routine? With my experience I know when to use it and not to use it. I want to hear from the professionals why it's such a bad command to use. My typical use is goto ex; which is jump to the exit routine, everything is done, clean up and get out. I'm not a pro by any means (mid-south US, no programming jobs here), just wondering about all the hate on goto is about, it's a very useful command...
Why are their bumps in my shadow mapping?
LancerSolurus replied to Paul C Skertich's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI would suspect the dark area behind the cube is beyond the edge of your shadow map. I had an issue like that, I simply did a range test for the edge and didn't render the shadow beyond that. Later on I will go back and see if it's possible to adjust texture clipping to nullify the need for the range test. Just an idea of what it may be...
unity monthly subscription question?
LancerSolurus replied to meisterwork's topic in For BeginnersYou could try out Torque 3D, it's now open source, the main downside is limited mobile support.
DepthBias : How is MaxDepthSlope computed?
LancerSolurus replied to wilfrid's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingGoing back to an earlier version of the docs before most was removed, this is the formulas shown. I have found stuff in the older version that isn't even online (March 2009 version), which is pretty much the same thing your link shows. There are two options for calculating depth bias. If the depth buffer currently bound to the output-merger stage has a UNORM format or no depth buffer is bound the bias value is calculated like this: Bias = (float)DepthBias * r + SlopeScaledDepthBias * MaxDepthSlope; where r is the minimum representable value > 0 in the depth-buffer format converted to float32. The remaining values are structure members. If a floating-point depth buffer is bound to the output-merger stage the bias value is calculated like this: Bias = (float)DepthBias * 2**(exponent(max z in primitive) - r) + SlopeScaledDepthBias * MaxDepthSlope; where r is the number of mantissa bits in the floating point representation (excluding the hidden bit); for example, 23 for float32. The bias value is then clamped like this: if(DepthBiasClamp > 0) Bias = min(DepthBiasClamp, Bias) else if(DepthBiasClamp < 0) Bias = max(DepthBiasClamp, Bias) The bias value is then used to calculate the pixel depth. if ( (DepthBias != 0) || (SlopeScaledDepthBias != 0) ) z = z + Bias
Can't solve problems without googling?
LancerSolurus replied to Lith's topic in For BeginnersI've been programming over 30 years now and didn't have the advantages you have now (started on a Vic 20). As Frob said, use both, I could have really used the extra help all those years ago, hehe, a stone age programmer I know. Any time I want to create a new feature I now google it first to see if it's been figured out by someone smarter than myself. It's not cheating, it's smart thinking and time saving on your end.
GTX 750 problem - SOLVED
LancerSolurus replied to LancerSolurus's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingWorkaround for driver lockups - requires a 1680x1050 or 1920x1080 resolution Well I did do a work-around to the total system lockup, thought I would share this as well. Convert the render to windowed mode, I set mine to 3/4 1920 by 1080, gives a little room for the task manager to show. Start task manager before debugging. Edit a single file even if it's adding a space then deleting it, this will give you time for the next step. Start debug (F5 for me in VS), click on task manager in the task bar (the edit gives a few extra seconds). When it screws up, right click your exe and kill it, if you have left click over-ridden as I do, Select 'End Process Tree' and hit Enter then hit Enter on the next dialog window. This will kill your process and keep you from having to reboot your system. For the vets most of you already know this, just posting this for the beginners.
GTX 750 problem - SOLVED
LancerSolurus replied to LancerSolurus's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThat I will do. During the time I was tracking down the problem a new driver was released. Didn't clear up the issue either, Even tested the beta driver between the two which I never do. It pretty much locks it down to a driver bug since the 250 didn't have this issue. The only changes was new drivers and the 750 being installed. Anyways, thanks for everyone's input on this, it's much appreciated!

Scientific Name
Haworthia pygmaea Poelln.
Haworthia pygmaea var. pygmaea
Scientific Classification
Family: Xanthorrhoeaceae
Subfamily: Asphodeloideae
Genus: Haworthia
Haworthia pygmaea is a small succulent plant, forming flattened groups up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. The name "pygmaea" refers to small size. The rosettes are up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) in diameter. The leaves are up to 1.6 inches (4 cm) long and up to 0.7 inches (1,8 cm) wide, glossy dark green or olive green, often shaded of pink with cold weather. The white flowers with greenish veins occur on the stems up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall.
How to Grow and Care
Haworthia are not considered difficult houseplants to grow—if you can keep a pot of aloe alive on a windowsill, chances are you can do the same with a dish of Haworthia. As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water—they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances. At the same time, these decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. If you're given a Haworthia in such a container, make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn't, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above. Finally, look out for sunburned spots on your plants.
Haworthia are small (usually remaining between 3 inches (7.5 cm) and 5 (12.5 cm) inches in height) and relatively slow-growing. They are often grown in small clusters in wide, shallow dishes. Over time, clusters will naturally enlarge as the mother plant sends off small plantlets. When the cluster has outgrown its dish, repot in the spring or early summer into a new wide and shallow dish with fresh potting soil… – See more at: How to Grow and Care for Haworthia.
Native to South Africa (Eastern Cape).

Just an intresting question I've though about, niether of them are dangerous but can have some fearful experiences, but also very intresting experiences also, so would you?
- Yes!Vote A
- MaybeVote B
- Fuck no!!Vote C
Most Helpful Guy
To anyone considering either, I highly recommend treating them with RESPECT.
I've probably tripped about a dozen times +/- and Leary was right... your experience has a LOT to do with SET & SETTING.
What is your intention, going in? Are you just doing it to try it? Partying and want to get fucked up? Seeking knowledge or understanding of yourself?
I'm a believer that these substances should primarily be used in a spiritual or introspective context, to experience a whole new perspective on the world you live in and to discover or learn about yourself. Yes, it CAN be a fun experience too, and I wouldn't hold it against someone who did it for recreation, but I do think that they are POWERFUL substances that deserve respect.
Don't trip (for the first time, at least) if you're super stressed out or upset, while you may come out the other end better than you went in, that's recipe for a "bad" trip. I think the scary, frightening trips can sometimes be the most important, if you're facing some demon that's holding you back but it can be a bumpy ride and if you're new to psychedelics, it might be too much to handle.
As far as setting goes, be prepared to check out for 6 hours or so, at least. That means no curfew you're trying to beat, or important responsibilities (probably good to clear a full 24 hours before anything real important). Be in a safe place with people you trust and are comfortable around, and have someone responsible (preferably with some psychedelic experience under their belt) who can be a sober trip-sitter.
Do your research if you're serious about trying it, go in prepared and play it safe. The substances aren't dangerous in and of themselves, you're not really at any physical risk because of them and they're not addictive in the way that other drugs are, but you do need to have a certain emotional/psychological strength to handle them and not come out screwed up, and you're not going to really be "in this world" during the trip, so having someone to make sure you don't do anything stupid or dangerous as well as to be there in case you hit a rough spot and need reassurance that you're not ACTUALLY dying, or for silly stuff like when the doorbell rings unexpectedly or God forbid there was another type of emergency... Better safe than sorry.
Here's a good, easy to read guide to your first trip.
Also check out The Psychedelic Explorers Guide on Amazon.
Very good information! Safely tripping is very very important!

Yeah I usally like keep my shroom doses to half an eight to 2 grams, I'm more of a fan of LSD though, I can't handle it a lot easier. I've never had a bad experience on either I just get very confused on shrooms, Highest LSD dose I've done so far is around 250ug, sold dose, very fun!
Very informative! Thanks!

5 Delicious Rice Cake Toppings for Snack Time
While reaching for a plain rice cake is easier, sometimes snack time needs a little more oomph. These five rice cake toppings are simple, yet still above and beyond delicious. While most of these contain ingredients that most people would automatically associate with healthy, there are a few on here that might raise some eyebrows. For instance, dark chocolate, healthy? Really? All signs point to yes! I'm not telling you to eat it by the pound, but recent studies have shown it can lower the risk of heart disease and it is loaded with antioxidants. Sounds good to me, let's hope they don't come out with a new study to disprove this! The most important thing to remember is everything in moderation.
I also want to take a moment to talk about how much I love Lundberg Brown Rice Lightly Salted Rice Cakes. They make for a super delicious organic snack that gluten-free, kosher and vegan mamas and babes can enjoy. With several friends that struggle with these dietary restrictions I know how important finding a yummy snack like this is! What are your favorite gluten-free and vegan snacks?

The fight against censorship continues: access Wikipedia with CyberGhost
After recently blocking access to Dutch-based online hotel booking platform booking.com, the Turkish government has now banned access to Wikipedia links. This came as a consequence of the online encyclopedia's refusal to delete articles and comments that suggest the country is co-operating with "terrorist groups".
Reportedly, Turkish officials have been in contact with the site's administrators on numerous occasions to ask them to take down the disputed content, but Wikipedia has refused to comply.
The state-run Anadolou Agency in Turkey quotes Turkish officials from the Department of Communications as saying that Wikipedia has "has started acting as part of the circles who carry out a smear campaign against Turkey in the international arena, rather than being cooperative in fight against terror."
When attempting to access the webpage using Turkish internet providers, users received a notice the site could not be reached and a "connection timed out" error.
Monitoring groups have accused Turkey of blocking access to social media sites such as Twitter or Facebook, particularly in the aftermath of militant attacks, although the government has denied any connection with these blackouts.
However, watchdog groups claim that these social media blocks Since last year's failed coup, authorities have fired or suspended more than 120,000 people from the civil service, police and judiciary and arrested more than 40,000 on suspicion of ties to terrorist groups.
President Tayyip Erdogan says the measures are needed given the scope of the security threat Turkey faces.
How to access wikipedia.com if you are in Turkey
If you live in Turkey or know someone who does, CyberGhost can help you access securely content that is restricted in your country of residence.
Here's what you need to do:
On Android and iOS devices, download CyberGhost for free and activate a profile of choice. You will be assigned with a new IP, from a different country, where CyberGhost has servers. Since none of these servers are located in Turkey, you will be able to access wikipedia.com freely.
On your Windows desktop device, we recommend downloading CyberGhost. Then click on the Unblock Basic Websites profile and afterwards select wikipedia.com from the list.

Hacking Jenkins Servers With No Password
Here's a fun Jenkins trick I have been using on some recent Information Security Assessments to gain an initial foothold. If you aren't familiar with hacking Jenkins servers, it runs by default on port 8080 and also by default it has no password (Hurray!). According to their Wiki: "Jenkins is an award-winning application that monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron."

Phishing Frenzy: Increase Reporting Fu
The development and addition of new features within Phishing Frenzy (PF) continues to grow. Some of these latest upgrades and email phishing features come from a lot of feedback that I have obtained from the community. Thank you all for the great feedback regarding PF.
Recently PF was converted and upgraded to run the latest version of bootstrap. Previously PF was running bootstrap version 2 and was missing out on some of the latest bootstrap features. The conversion was fairly long and painful, but the end result is very pleasing.

A number of reforms to aged care have occurred since 2012, informed by the National Aged Care Alliance's Blueprint and the Productivity Commission's report Caring for Older Australians. Since that time the process of improving Australia's aged care system has enjoyed multi-partisan support.
At the 2016 Federal Election we need all political parties to commit to a timeline for how they'll continue these important reforms to ensure that all Australians can get the care they need, when they need it, and from whom they decide.
The Australians Deserve to Age Well Campaign has spelt out in detail a number of positions that we'd like to see all political parties commit to in this election. These commitments build on the Alliance's 2015 Blueprint and the Aged Care Roadmap developed by the Government's own Aged Care Sector Committee.
Reforms already occurring
Over the last four years successive governments have committed to and delivered the first stages of aged care reform. including:
- A commitment that by 2021 the number of aged care places (home care packages and beds) will increase from 113 to 125 per 1000 Australians over 70. (But in 2015 the reported ratio went backwards to only 112 services for every 1000 older Australians so there is work to be done here)
- Changes to home care packages to improve consumer choice and control over how to spend their assessed level of care and services, including from February 2017 the ability to choose and change their aged care provider.
- A consolidation of the number of aged care programs through the introduction of the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and a commitment to consolidate CHSP and home care packages from July 2018.
- The introduction of a streamlined assessment process with Regional Assessment Services assessing needs for CHSP and Aged Care Assessment Teams assessing needs for home care packages and residential care.
- A reduction in duplication and red tape for aged care providers.
It is good that more people will get access to the services they need but ultimately the game of chance system remains in place and people who need support will still miss out. It is time for Government and any potential government to commit to a timetable to end the aged care lottery.

Other Literary Forms
(Literary Essentials: Short Fiction Masterpieces)
Though his reputation rests primarily with the short story, Harlan Ellison has abundantly produced novels, essays, anthologies, and scripts for the motion-picture industry and television. Two highly influential anthologies, Dangerous Visions (1967) and Again, Dangerous Visions (1972), critique his own work and that of others. He contributed scripts to many popular television series in the 1960's and 1970's and adapted his story "A Boy and His Dog" for film in 1975. His essays, which comment on a broad range of social issues, have been collected in a number of volumes, including The Glass Teat: Essays of Opinion on the Subject of Television (1969), An Edge in My Voice (1986), Harlan Ellison's Watching (1989), and The Harlan Ellison Hornbook (1990). He also published I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay, an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's novel, in 1994.

This educational DVD uses eleven goddesses from mythology to demonstrating female sexual techniques. Covering erotic yoga, tantric breathing, meditation, and sex magic among other topics, it is an interesting and arousing film.
As a bonus, this DVD also contains a selection from sexual pioneer Annie Sprinkle, demonstrating her famous five-minute-long orgasm. How To Be A Sex Goddess In 101 Easy Steps is a must have for anyone interested in female sexuality.
Catalog ID: ENT74594
See How To Be A Sex Goddess In 101 Easy Steps image.
I got this thinking it would be informative or at least a good laugh. I think it may have been a good laugh if I were at all spiritual but it just seemed really bizarre and weird to me. I could barely force myself to watch this once all the way through.
The film is a comical, silly, uplifting, poignant, mystical and at times a bizarre adventure into the primeval and mysterious aspects of female sexuality. It is meant to guide the viewer into a world of expanded sexual pleasure, and teach her how to reclaim her inner slut or goddess.
If you're looking for light-hearted, nontraditional, fun look into female sexuality, this is the DVD for you. This video explores a range of sexual activities as well as speaks to the psychological, emotional, and spiritual side of sex with women. Embrace the goofiness of sex!

Jump Up! is the sixteenth studio album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1982 by The Rocket Record Company except in the US and Canada, where it was released by Geffen Records.
It was recorded at AIR Studios in Montserrat,[5] and Pathe Marconi Studios in France.
It features such songs as "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)", a tribute to John Lennon (who had also signed to Geffen for the release of Double Fantasy, which is now owned by EMI). This is one of the first few LPs that showcases John singing in a deeper voice, as can be heard in songs such as "Blue Eyes", "Princess", "Ball and Chain" and "Spiteful Child". "Legal Boys" was written by John and Tim Rice, who would later write lyrics for songs for The Lion King andThe Road to El Dorado. This is the last studio album in which James Newton-Howard plays keyboards (Newton-Howard would play keyboards again on the soundtrack of Gnomeo & Juliet less than 30 years later).
In a 2010 Sirius radio special, John's lyricist, Bernie Taupin, called Jump Up! "one of our worst albums," adding "it's a terrible, awful, disposable album, but it had 'Empty Garden' on it, so it's worth it for that one song." In the U.S., it was certified gold in November 1982 by the RIAA. The album cover features John's lifelong friend Vance Buck.

The challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad is "in the Garden" which means we want to see anything pertaining to gardens or gardening. The sponsor for the challenge is Stitchy Bear Digital Outlet and I chose an image from Kaz Katz at Stitchy Bear Outlet and it's called Beary Happy Bloom. I thought it would make a great Feel Better card.
I decided to use one of my "hard to use colours" which is green but I really like the patterned paper and have no idea who made it. I added the Hello and a few rhinestones.
Thanks for visiting today and I hope we will meet you "In The Garden" for the challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.

Single-stream recycling debated by association
This summer, the Northeast Resource Recovery Association
(NRRA) met with its member cities, towns and businesses
to discuss single-stream recycling. The open forum included
over 85 members with 38 communities represented and was
meant to help members evaluate whether this program would
be beneficial to their communities or businesses.
The single-stream recycling concept has been around for
many years but is just starting to be considered in New
Hampshire. Single-stream recycling allows residents to
put all recyclables in one bin where it is then transported
to a facility to be sorted. This program increases the
recycling rate but also limits the income that communities
receive for their commodities. Some single-stream recycling
programs have estimated that they pay between $10 and
$15 a ton for mixed recyclables delivered to the single-stream
facility. Currently, Goffstown, New Hampshire is successfully
running a curbside single-stream program.
Dave Kirsch, member of NRRA's board of trustees and recycling
manager in Swanzey, New Hampshire, shared his cost analysis
of how single-stream recycling would affect his program.
While the single-stream program would cut the town's
operating costs by $30,200, overall the program would
cost the town $19,100, partly in lost revenue from not
selling the recyclables at a higher price.
In addition to current single-stream recycling programs,
NRRA also offers several other options that may work
for members, including a Consolidation Program and a
Dual-Stream Recycling Program. The Consolidation Program
bundles small quantities of processed recyclables from
multiple municipalities to bring the goods to one central
location. This reduces storage requirements for members
and obtains maximum revenue by shipping the largest loads
NRRA has successfully completed five pilot consolidation
runs of OCC (cardboard), aluminum cans and steel cans.
Twenty-five different communities participated and helped
NRRA refine the program to better serve each municipality.
This allowed NRRA members to capture high market pricing,
as well as achieve full and heavier loads. For example,
members who participated recently received $.18 more
per pound for aluminum cans and $130 a gross ton more
for steel cans by consolidation.
The Dual-Stream Recycling Program is an alternative avenue
as well. NRRA has offered this program since 2004 and
residents sort the recyclables into two bins: paper (cardboard,
mixed paper, newspaper and junk mail) in one bin and
commingled containers (plastics #1 - #7, aluminum and
steel cans, jars and bottles) in the other bin. Thirty-eight
members currently use this dual-stream program and many
achieve tandem hauls on a regular basis. This program
brings revenue to members based on weights and markets.
NRRA member pricing for July 2008 was between $75 and
$80 a ton for paper and between $37 and $20 a ton for
commingled containers.

The Odyssey
Map Project
By Tessa
Ismarus, The
City of the Cicones
The Land
of the Lotus Eaters
The Land
of the Cyclopes
Land of the
Circe's Island
Land of the Cimmerians and The Underworld
The Island
of the Sirens
The Island of
the Phaecians
In sight of Ithaca
A blue circle on the map means it is one of the Odysseus's stops on his journey
The blue part of the map is the water
The brown/green part of the map is the land
Odysseus and his men have fought in a long 10 year war between the Spartans and the Trojans. The Spartans, with the help of Odysseus, leave a large wooden horse for the Trojans with men hiding inside of it. The Trojans bring it into their city Troy and the Spartans attack in the middle of the night. They are victorious and Odysseus and his men can finally return to their homeland.
Odysseus and his men arrive at Ismarus, the city of the Cicones. They need supplies for their journey, so they plunder the city greedily. A nearby people come to help the Cicones fight off Odysseus and his men, so they leave, having lost 6 men per ship.
The lotus is a fruit so sweet and delicious that you lose all thoughts of going home. A few men eat the fruit and do not want to return to their native land. Only by dragging the men to the ship and tying them up can Odysseus make the men leave.
The Cyclopes are an uncivilized race of huge, one- eyed creatures. Odysseus tries to take some food from one of the giant's homes but is captured by Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon. Polyphemus is welcoming at first, but then starts to eat a few of Odysseus' men each day. The plan Odysseus implements to escape includes saying his name is Nobody, getting Polyphemus drunk, and stabbing him in the eye to blind him. It works, and the men make it off the island, but Polyphemus sends a prayer to his father Poseidon, asking him to curse Odysseus, and Poseidon does.
1. Aeolus, the ruler of the winds, welcomes Odysseus and him men into his home. He summons winds to help them return to Ithaca. Aeolus also secretly gives Odysseus a bag of wind.
2. When Odysseus and his men return to the island, Aeolus rejects the men and does not help them because he worries that the gods are not on their side. This is because of all of the bad luck they have been having.
The men are very close to home and can actually see their native land but Odysseus falls asleep. The crew does not trust Odysseus and think maybe the bag of wind is a gift of gold and silver, and they greedily look inside. They open the bag of wind and the wind escapes, creating a storm that sends them all the way back to Aeolia.
The Laestrygonians are powerful giants who eat humans. King Antiphates and the Queen try to devour Odysseus and his men. Most escape to the ships, but the giants throw big boulders at the boats and only the boat that Odysseus is on escapes.
1. Odysseus and his crew reach the island of Circe, Aeaea. Circe is a very beautiful witch. She turns some of Odysseus' crew into pigs, and when Odysseus goes to help them, he is given some advice by Hermes. Hermes says that Odysseus should eat Moly to protect him from her spell and then to jump at her like he is about to stab her with his sword. He does just that, and Circe is amazed by him. He becomes her lover, and they stay for a year. However, he finally says that he needs to go home, and Circe tells him he must go visit the underworld to speak to Tiresias, who will tell him how to get home. Elpenor falls off a roof and dies right before they leave, so they have no time for a proper burial.
The men arrive at the Land of the Cimmerians and make a sacrifice to attract the dead's souls. Elpenor, who fell off Circe's island, is the first to come forth and begs for burial of his body. Then Tiresias tells Odysseus about how Poseidon hates him because Odysseus blinded Polyphemus. Tiresias tells Odysseus his fate: that he should return home and get Penelope back and kill the suitors. He also warns Odysseus of the tragedy that will occur if he or any of his men kill the cattle of the sun. Odysseus talks to his mother, who killed herself out of depression while he was gone. He meets other various women and brave warriors, including Agamemnon and Achilles.
2. Odysseus returns to Circe's island to bury Elpenor. Circe gives him some parting advice, warning him of the sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, and telling him not to kill the cattle of the sun.
Odysseus and his men pass by the land of the beautiful sirens, mermaids that eat humans. They lure men to their island with their beautiful song. Odysseus puts earwax in all of his crews ears. Because he is curious to hear the song, he has his crew tie him to the mast of the ship and not untie him even when he commands them to.
1. The first time Odysseus passes Charybdis, a monster whirlpool, he keeps close to the opposite side of the water and is not sucked into the whirlpool.
Scylla is a monster with six heads that takes six men (one for each head) from every ship that passes by. After escaping the Sirens, Odysseus and his crew pass Scylla and they lose six men. Odysseus knew that it was a choice between six men eaten by Scylla or the whole ship being destroyed by Charybdis, so he made a decision that sacrificed six men for the greater good.
Thrinacia, the island of the sun, is the next stop on Odysseus' journey. He has received so much warning of the disaster that this stop could hold that he did not really even want to dock his ship on this island, but Eurylochus convinces him to stop. They can not leave for a month because of a storm, and eventually run out of food and killing the sun god's cattle becomes more appealing. Eurylochus persuades the men to kill and eat the cattle, and zeus sends a terrible storm to punish them once they sat sail again. Only Odysseus escapes.
2. Odysseus was alone because all of his men were killed in the storm of punishment sent by Zeus. He clings to the branches of a fig tree when he encounters Charybdis so that the whirlpool will not swallow him whole. After the danger has passed, he drops back to some wooden boards left over from the ship and continues paddling.
The beautiful nymph Calypso lives on the island of Ogygia. When Odysseus comes to her island, she makes him her lover. They get along well but Odysseus misses him home and sobs of homesickness frequently. After seven years, Hermes convinces Calypso to let Odysseus go home. Odysseus makes a boat and sets said for Ithaca.
Odysseus makes his way to the island of the Phaecians, and at first is reluctant to reveal his identity. Eventually he tells the kind and welcoming King Alcinous and Queen Arte the fascinating story of his wanderings. They help him get back to Ithaca safely.
Odysseus returns to his native land Ithaca and reunites with his son Telemachus. Together they carry out a plan to kill the suitors. They are successful and Odysseus becomes king once again, and rules beside his wife Queen Penelope.

Since last week, the New York congressman has been grappling with questions about a photo of somebody's bulging underwear sent over his Twitter account. Weiner repeatedly claimed he was hacked, while declining to say whether the photo was an image of him.
On Monday, BigGovernment.com published what it claimed were more photos the congressman allegedly sent to another woman.
The website published a photo of a man's shirtless torso supposedly sent May 20 from a Yahoo! email address to somebody described only as a "young woman." The woman said that the email was an alternate email address for Weiner.
The website did not identify the recipient. It posted additional shirtless photos claiming they were associated with that account.
The entertainment website RadarOnline.com also reported that a middle-aged woman from Nevada was claiming to have 200 explicit messages from Weiner via a Facebook account. It is not clear whether the two sites were referring to the same woman.
Other members of the New York congressional delegation appeared to be out of the loop on what Weiner might say or that he would make any admissions. Speaker John Boehner's office said no letter of resignation had been transmitted.
BigGovernment.com also claimed that Weiner sent the woman the underwear photo two days prior to the chest pictures. The site claimed another image was sent May 18 to the young woman, but did not publish it -- describing it as "extremely graphic" and leaving "nothing to the imagination." All this would have occurred before the Twitter incident May 27, when the underwear photo was sent to a Seattle college student and then quickly deleted.
The college student said she did not know Weiner personally but followed his Twitter account.
Weiner apologizes for lying ??? but not for showing his weiner... lol...
Anywhere else they would fire this bafoon.... a press conference ? come on dude, what idiots would ever vote for this ?
Please let them post the x rated photo of his small pee pee...
Now the other gov rats want to use gov resources to investigate his Weiner... LMAO>>>
Can't this guy control his crotch ??
I remember Chris LEE resigns within one day from just showing his face ????
AWWWWWWWWW poor demi rat was crying.... what a man...
little man from the rumours.... lol...

RICKY Sbragia has promised Rangers he'll not treat Lewis Macleod like a "piece of meat" if the club allow him to go away on international duty later this month.
The 19-year-old has been sidelined for three months with a knee injury and only returned to top-team action last weekend in the 1-0 win over Berwick.
The Scotland Under-19 boss believes the midfielder's presence is vital if his side are to make it through the European Championship elite qualifying round in Belgium at the end of this month.
Sbragia's side take on the host nation on the 24th, Georgia on the 26th then face England three days later.
And former Sunderland boss Sbragia said: "When Lewis first joined us about a year and a half ago he was exceptional.
"The circumstances of Rangers allowed him to get into the first team. However, I reckon he'd have played for them this season even if they were in the SPL.
"I watched him last week against Berwick and he was fantastic. He had been out with an injury for three months but looked as though he'd never been away. He played with such energy.
"He has great ability on the ball and the vision to see a pass.
"He is very important to us and we hope he can make the tournament but we're in the hands of Rangers.
"If he does come, I won't play him for 90 minutes. I won't take chances.
"We would look at playing him for 45 or 60 minutes. We even have to be careful in his training sessions. I don't want to bring him with us and drive him into the ground. I won't use him like a piece of meat."
Sbragia is also excited about the impact St Mirren midfielder John McGinn can make.
He said: "John's progress has been brilliant. He really has blossomed this season.
"We keep hearing the Scottish game is dead but we have an awful lot of good kids here and credit to the clubs for giving them an opportunity.
"John has won a League Cup at just 18. Goodness, some players at 34 don't have a cup medal.
"We played against Sweden in March and he joined up with the squad the day after he won the Cup. I could see some of the lads wishing they were in his shoes. The rest of the players clapped him in. It was great.
"He was on some sort of cloud when he arrived. He was here in body but the rest of him wasn't! He must have enjoyed his night. It shows anything is possible."
Sbragia will meet up with the squad on May 22nd to prepare.
He hopes to have obtained some extra information about his opponents and their key players by then.
He said: "It's difficult to get information about some of the players and even get hold of team-sheets from previous international games but we'll keep trying.
"I do know that Belgium and England are exceptional teams but I think we have really progressed.
"We beat a strong Romania team recently and have real belief in ourselves and I've told the players not to fear any side.
"Our first game is Belgium and we can't afford to lose. It's just the top team from four that qualifies.
"If we beat Georgia it could be that we play England in the last game to see who goes through. That would be quite something.
"There might not be any football played!
"Overall though I'm optimistic we can do well."

Changing Your Set Up?
I'm sure there are quite a few readers that have tried out a variation on last years set up or a completely new set up compared to last year.
My own set up is largely unchanged, but I'm always looking to improve it, a small tweak here or there to improve various aspects of it.
It goes without saying that there is no universal set up that will work for everyone. We all lead different lives and we all put different demands on our organisers on a daily basis. What suits one person will not suit some one else.
So I'm not going to attempt convince you to go big rings or go small rings, or A5, Personal or Pocket. There are so many variations to this common problem.....
So if your set up is working well... leave it... don't change it just on a whim. But in the case of someone who is new to paper planning or their circumstances have changed and whilst you thought it was the perfect set up it might not be working quite as you expected.
By all means change your set up in what ever way you need to to make it work..... but a word of caution.... don't make too many changes at once.
Only change one thing at a time and give it may be two weeks before you decide if that change (what ever it was) is going to make your organiser work for you.
By making your changes one step at a time you will understand the problems better and the set up will stand the test of time unless your circumstances change of course.....

I went back old school day timer day on one page and note page. I'm loving the space to write. I tend to brain dump a lot during the day so I can do that no problem. I also being in sales have to keep track of new customers during the day. And report out at night. Again the space is great. So we'll see but for now it works.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Kathi, what binder are you using to house your DT inserts, and how much can you carry in it at a time? Just interested to know..........Delete
When working I was supplied witha coil weekly and monthly calendar which I used for everything. This year I am retired and am using a pocket Tuscany Filofax which I bought years ago. I started with two weeks per page but soon added a blank sheet and a to do list. Retirement is not as quiet as I thought it would be.ReplyDelete
As I am using a week insert that I designed I like this change. I also noticed how much I was spending on inserts I bought compared to what I designed. I agree that any change with a binder or insert should be done thoughtfully. There is such a strong emphasis on constant and excessive shopping on the internet. One can then buy too many binders and products that are unnecessary.ReplyDelete
I rarely make any changes to my set up based on GTD as it suits me very well. I admit that I am tempted when looking at other people's systems, but for me it could be too easy to waste too much time & money so I stick with what already works. Thanks for a great reminder, Steve!ReplyDeleteReplies
You mean to say there is a perfect system?! I believe that being able to tweak systems is one of the benefits of paper vs digital. There are only so many options with an app but the options are practically endles with a planner.ReplyDeleteReplies
Not only endless, but I think we must have tried most of them by now, between us!Delete
My system has not changed much, but I now use Franklin Covey Compact size inserts (4.25" x 6.75"). I have a Frankenstein-type thing going. Only the calendar section, tabbed Mo2P and Wo2P, are FC. The extra .5" really makes a difference even if my writing tends to be small (thanks to my Frixion .5). All other pages are FF Personals. I've inserted FC Page lifters on either side of the calendar, so a stable writing surface is not an issue. Lists on Personal size pages are inserted between the week pages. This lets me not forget that there's more week behind it.ReplyDelete
Right now my poor Saffiano looks a little snuggle toothed, but it's working
For 14 years I've used a week on one page pocket size, either filofax or moleskine, but this past fall became so hectic that I had pages that were written over and highlighted to the point that they were stressful to use. I decided to get a personal size filofax, and I've put Franklin Covey Blooms day on 2 pages in it. Three months worth. Only the month tabs stick out, and I don't mind that. They are so restful, all that free space even when I've written what seems like a lot to me. I still using the pocket Filofax with weekly pages, but for forward planning. My daily is now the personal size, and I'm really liking it. It's a relief, and very beautiful I think in the black filo.ReplyDelete

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? dramatizes the progression towards an apparent watershed in the turbulent life of a middle-aged couple: Martha is the daughter of the president of a backwater New England college; her husband George, a history lecturer at the same college, has failed to be considered a suitable successor to Martha's father because he is something of a misfit and is ultimately more interested in creative writing and provoking those around him than in rising through the ranks of academia. He nonetheless feels hampered by Martha's father and by her incessant reminders that he is, in her eyes, "a great big flop". The play represents a dreadful climactic evening as two young guests come for dinner. Nick and Honey …

At 7 a.m. in Starbucks, Deck the Halls was blaring. One woman turned to the people behind her in line, I havent had coffee yet Im emotionally vulnerable. Why are they playing it so loud? The man behind her noted it was only early December and grumbled, Imagine if you were Jewish.
Later, as Ding dong ding dong, played in the background, Starbucks supervisor Taylor Kiser said the Christmas soundtrack had been playing since Thanksgiving. It doesnt bother me at all but Im the kind of person who loves Christmas music, Kiser said.
Kiser, whose favorite Christmas carol is either Joy to the World or Come Thou Long Expected Jesus, said 80 to 90 percent of the stores music consisted of Christmas carols as of Monday.
Kiser acknowledged that some Starbucks employees complained that the stores soundtrack was provoking insanity. He said such employees were allowed breaks when it gets to be too much for them.
Lt. Ray Shupe of the Durango Police Department said he was not aware of any assaults or murders committed in Durango that were related to Christmas music.
Daniel Ortiz of Fuzziwigs Candy Factory on Main Avenue, said the store was supposed to have started playing Christmas jingles the Monday before Thanksgiving, but he had managed to put it off until his boss returned.
In Oohs and Aahs, Melissa Henderson said the onslaught of Christmas carols, hasnt driven me crazy yet, but they will soon. Hopefully, it puts other people in the mood.
Deborah Demme, owner of White Dragon Good Feelings Tea Room and Gallery, said she had only just started playing Christmas music through a Sirius XM radio channel.
Its been coming on periodically, but within days, well be full tilt boogying, she said.
Demme said one absent employee loved Christmas tunes, speaking of her enthusiasm with the magnanimous incredulity usually reserved for beloved, but mentally ill, uncles.
In Marias Bookshop, Bethany Bachmann said the river of Christmas ditties, does drive me crazy, absolutely. I cant help it, unless its jazz.
Her colleague, Libby Cowles, noted that the music in Marias played softly and covered a wide spectrum of holiday ballads.
Asked whether the incessant playing of Christmas music amounted to torture, Marias Hunter Knox, who was behind the cash register, nodded vehemently.
But playing the music this early makes the customers feel less ridiculous about doing Christmas shopping this early, Knox said.
Cowles said the store had honestly never considered advertising that it does not play Christmas music to appeal to carol-fatigued customers as the actual holiday approached.
But should we? she asked.
Though multiple retailers admitted the unremitting stream of Christmas carols made them want to give someone a very shiny nose, not one storefront employee said he or she had developed a reliable coping strategy.
At Put a Cork in It, which was awash with lively jazz and sunlight, owner Allen Cuenca said he would start playing Christmas music Christmas Eve, then said, But dont report that. I dont want to come across like a Scrooge. Or offend any Christians I want everybodys money.
He offered less fortunate retail employees words of advice and encouragement. It will be over before you know it, Cuenca said.
Back at Starbucks, one patron, Chester Salkind, said he didnt mind the stores Christmas music.
But Im hard of hearing, he said.

A Puna woman has been charged in connection with a vehicle break-in that occurred last week in Hilo.
On Wednesday, March 1, a 49-year-old man reported that an unknown female entered into his vehicle that was parked at a business located on Puainako Street and removed several items from within the vehicle.
The victim then confronted the female suspect while she was still in possession of his belongings, but she fled prior to the responding officers' arrival.
Investigating detectives were able to identify the suspect as Bella Carvalho, 49, of Pahoa. She was arrested for an outstanding bench warrant and taken to the Hilo police cellblock while officers continued their investigation.
Just before noon Thursday, March 9, Carvalho was charged with first degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle and fourth degree theft.
She is being held at the Hilo cellblock in lieu of $11,000 bail pending her initial court appearance scheduled for Friday, March 10, in South Hilo District Court.

"The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty. He will save. He will rejoice over thee with joy. He will rest in his love. He will joy over thee with singing."Zeph. iii. 17.
My soul! look at this old testament promise, through the medium of the new testament dispensation, and behold what a cluster of rich blessings it contains; and which, like all the other promises of the bible, is "yea and amen in Christ Jesus!" And observe how it opens. The Lord thy God, that is, Jehovah in his threefold character of person, in rich covenant engagements, is "in the midst of thee;" hath set up his throne in Zion, and lives, and reigns, and governs in the hearts of his redeemed. So said Jesus, and so that dear Lord explained it in after ages: "If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him;" John xiv. 23. "I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth;" John xiv. 16, 17. Mark these blessed, precious truths, my soul, in the most lively characters, on thine heart; and hence learn, that the Lord thy God, in covenant engagements, dwelleth in the midst of his people, and in the hearts of his people; that, like the sun at midday, in the centre of the heavens, he may enlighten, warm, refresh, and give forth all his blessings to bless thee. Next mark what the prophet saith of this covenant Lord God, who is in the midst of his church and people: "He is mighty!" Shout aloud at this, my soul; for if he be mighty, then he will support thy weakness, and subdue thy foes. What can bear down, or destroy the soul, whom this mighty God upholds? What shall arise to distress a child of God, as long as God is almighty? And if he hath engaged to be for thee, who can dare to be against thee? Sweet consideration! What signifies my weakness, while Christ is strong? Yea, his strength will be made perfect in my weakness. Go on farther, my soul, in looking over the many blessed things spoken of in this verse. "He will save." Yea: he hath saved, and doth save, and will save. And this is the very cause, the angel said, for which his name should be called Jesus: for "he shall save his people from their sins." Matt. i. 21. Think of this, when at any time, sin or sorrow, trial or temptation, would cast thee down. Jesus is still Jesus, still on his throne: yea, thy Saviour. Amidst all thy changeableness, there is no change in him. And observe yet farther, how the prophet chimes on those sweet words: "He will rejoice over thee with joy: he will rest in his love: he will joy over thee with singing." Pause, my soul, over this most gracious account. Jesus not only saves, not only pardons, but he doth it as God, as Jesus. It is his joy, his delight, his pleasure, to do so. As he saith in another scripture, "Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly, with my whole heart, and with my whole soul;" Jer. xxxii. 41. And as the poor timid believer, from feeling such coldness and deadness, as at times he doth in himself feel, is but too easily prevailed upon by the enemy, and by his own unbelieving heart, to suppose the same of Jesus: that he might not give way to this temptation, the Lord adds, "he will rest in his love:" will abide in it unmoved, and without change; for, as he saith in another scripture," the Lord God of Israel hateth putting away:" Mal. ii. 16. Oh! what a multitude of sweet things are folded up in this verse! Jesus rejoiceth over his people; yea, Jesus joys over them with singing. How often have I seen, in some lovely evening, like the present, that sweet bird of the air, called the skylark, mount aloft from her nest, still looking at her young as she ascends; and when advanced to her height, warbling in the most delightful notes over her brood; until at length, with all the rapidity of love, she darts down to cover, to feed, and to protect them Thus, but in an infinitely higher degree, doth Jesus joy over his children with singing, resting in his love; and is ever near, ever mighty to defend, to bless, to keep, and to make happy, those who rest in his strength; while he rests in his love, being their God, and they his people.From the POOR MAN'S MORNING AND EVENING PORTIONS.
