text: Not sure about where you guys drive, but over here EDD is a mess. I find myself very amused at how a route is set up on this system. I remember management used to get on us about following it completely and now I never hear anything about it. Seems like it's more of a "guideline" for drivers now. As a utility driver, I just follow EDD when doing a route I don't know and end up getting beat horribly.

Mystery Haul Vol. 2: Disney Mystery Minis Figurines, Keyrings, & The Beatles Mystery Vinyl Reveal|#Geek #Funko
This post contains affiliate links.
This post contains affiliate links.
I visited a local mall with a friend and with money in my pocket. I made the mistake of visiting a store with a ton of Disney and geek items. Seriously, it's my weakness. I was walking through the store trying to decide what I should spend my money on. Being a Funko Pop collector, I was immediately drawn to all of those figurines. I snapped out of it when I remember that we buy from a local shop because of the awesome rewards program that they have. Then, I fought with myself about what I wanted: an Alice in Wonderland mug, a Minnie Mouse Wallet, or maybe a Deadpool tank top? Ahh! Why must decisions like this need to be made?
Understandably, I ended up back at the section with Disney mystery boxes and bags each time. I finally decided to give in and load up with as many as I could carry at once. I picked up the following: 1 Disney Mystery Minis Vinyl Figurine, 1 Disney Pixar Bling Bag (Series 6 Keyring Blind Bag), 1 Finding Dory Keyring Blind Bag, 1 Through The Looking Glass Mystery Minis Vinyl Figurine, and 1 Beatles Yellow Submarine Mystery Vinyl Figurine. Clearly, the addiction is real.
You can buy most of these on Amazon. Just look for links below to purchase and please show me your reveal .I am just as addicted to seeing what everyone else gets!
Disney Mystery Mini Reveal
I was so excited to see Cinderella in this mystery mini box! She's so cute! I want them all! Buy yours here
Disney Blind Bags Reveal
I am in love with Inside Out and these blind bags were just too good to pass up! Purchase yours here.
Finding Dory! Woo! I will admit, I was a bit disappointed with the character that I received. I want the otter because it's sooo cute! I couldn't find these on Amazon, but I found another cute blind bag – Check it out here!
Through The Looking Glass Reveal
This movie absolutely blew my mind! It was so much better than the first. I just had to review it on my blog and of course, I had to add some toys to my collection. I seriously would have been excited to receive any of the Through The Looking glass toys. Make sure you grab a few to add to your collection. Grab yours here.
The Beatles Yellow Submarine Reveal
I was pleasantly surprised to find The Beatles Yellow Submarine toys! It's rare to find toys from the classic iconic music groups. I am just hoping for Tupac ones. Grab your The Beatles blind box today!
Well that's it for now. There are a ton of blind boxes and bags on Amazon that you can shop from! Add some risk and mystery to your life. These figurines are seriously my new addiction!
Be sure to check out all of my Mystery Hauls and keep coming back because I have a lot more to come!

The Context - newsletter from IFI Research
By Marcus Dewsnap 20 Nov 2017
Welcome to our newsletter, The Context, from IFI Research, containing thought leadership articles spanning a host of asset classes.
Financial Intelligence is part of the Business Intelligence Division of Informa PLC
This is operated by a business or businesses owned by Informa PLC and all copyright resides with them. Informa PLC's registered office is 5 Howick Place, London SW1P 1WG. Registered in England and Wales. Number 8860726.
With parts of Europe out due to the All Saints day holiday, issuance in the single currency drew a blank for the second consecutive day on Tuesday with the only deal across all sectors and currencies coming courtesy of Aberdeen City Council. That came in the form of a GBP370m Feb 2054 linker at UKTi +125 via sole bookrunner HSBC, with books last reported above GBP370m.
The risk tone on the day wasn't the most supportive either with some fleeting positivity at the open, seen off the back of better Chinese PMI data and recovering oil prices, fizzling by late afternoon. Also creating some turbulence was a decision by Standard Chartered not to redeem one of its junior sub bonds (6.409 01/49) at its call date in January, sending the price plummeting by circa 13 points (see here for more detail), As at 15.40, that left Stoxx50 0.53% lower, reversing an early gain of 0.66%, while iTraxx Main and Crossover were wider by 1.2 and 4.0 respectively to touch their widest levels in more than two weeks.
Activity set to resume Wednesday
However, with all European players back Wednesday we look set to see some fresh supply as issuers look to capitalise on the small window of opportunity ahead of looming event risk, namely the Fed's latest verdict on Wednesday evening, the BoE meeting/IR on Thursday and then US Payrolls data on Friday ahead of the US election next week.
One issuer known to be readying a deal is American conglomerate manufacturer of industrial products Dover Corporation. The issuer, rated A2/A-/A, is looking to refresh its fledgling curve with a new EUR 10yr benchmark transaction as early as Wednesday via JP Morgan, BAML and Wells Fargo. This follows an investor roadshow last week where Dover Corp was garnering interest for a 10-15yr transaction.
The borrower's only outstanding deal in the single currency is a EUR300m 2.125% Dec 2020 line which launched back in Nov 2013 and was seen trading at circa +55 bid on Tuesday afternoon.
Dover Corp will follow a recent glut of Euro supply from US issuers after Verizon Communications, PPG Industries Inc, Whirlpool Finance Luxembourg S.a.r.l., and Merck & Co Inc all visited the market to print a combined E5.65bn in the single currency last week alone.
Also known to be eyeing the Euro market are US compatriots American Express and Medical Properties as well as G4S and Fonterra which have all recently held investor meetings.
Away from corps and German States Lower Saxony (AAA Fitch) and Berlin (Aa1/AAA) have mandated banks for EUR250m re-openings of their respective 0% Aug 2024 and 0.625% Aug 2036 LSAs. The former has hired DekaBank, HSBC and Nord/LB whilst DekaBank, Deutsche Bank, DZ Bank, LBBW and UniCredit are in the driving seat for the Berlin trade with both set to price on Wednesday.
Event risk to watch out for Wednesday
Markets will be fully in the shadow of the Fed on Wednesday with the policy verdict at 18.00GMT, although no policy change is expected ahead of Friday's key US NFP release and the US Presidential election on 8th November.
Markets are currently ascribing a 71.4% probability (via Bbg WIRP) of a rate hike in Dec, which comes after preliminary Annualised Q3 GDP surprised on the upside last week at 2.9% QoQ versus 2.6% forecast and 1.4% previously.
Otherwise, in Europe, it's Markit Manufacturing PMI day (for Oct) where peripherals report for the first time and forecasts point to a pick-up in both Spain and Italy, suggesting upside risks for the final pan-EZ version which follows, ceteris paribus.
German labour data should show a modest drop in the number of jobless people in Oct, forecast to reverse the 1k rise seen in Sep, which should leave the Rate steady at a record low 6.1% for the 6th consecutive month in a row.
UK Markit/CIPs Construction PMI is seen weakening to 51.8 in Oct from 52.3. That follows a marginally weaker out-turn for the Manufacturing sector on Tuesday and comes a day ahead of the Services PMI on Thursday, where much of the focus will lie given the sector's larger contribution to GDP.
Across the pond and in terms of data, the ADP Employment report provides the final insight on the labour market going into Fri's NFP.
Supply wise, Germany and the UK plan to sell EUR3bn 2026 bonds and up to GBP400m 0.625% 2040 Linkers respectively.
Earnings consist of 19 Stoxx600 and 38 S&P500 companies.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 522610
Update to kernel 188.8.131.52-43.fc11.i586 broke brightness changing
Last modified: 2010-06-28 10:34:38 EDT
Created attachment 360564 [details]
lshal for kernel 22.214.171.124-43.fc11.i586
Description of problem:
On kernel 22.214.171.124-217.2.16.fc11.i586 I could change brightness with gnome-brightness-applet
After update to kernel 18.104.22.168-43.fc11.i586 changing brightness does not work anymore.
I think it could have something in common with the appearance of the device "Generic Backlight Device" in lshal. Here is a one part from lshal, it wasn't there before:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight'
info.addons = {'hald-addon-generic-backlight'} (string list)
info.capabilities = {'laptop_panel'} (string list)
info.category = 'laptop_panel' (string)
info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel'} (string list)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string)
info.product = 'Generic Backlight Device' (string)
info.subsystem = 'backlight' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight' (string)
laptop_panel.access_method = 'general' (string)
laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware = false (bool)
laptop_panel.num_levels = 8 (0x8) (int)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'backlight' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0' (string)
Another issue is that now (after kernel update) suspend often fails, and drops to login screen insead of sleeping a computer. After doing login in this state, X are starting slowly and on the Brightness Applet icon appears a red sign. Power Manager seems to be dead too.
It is hard to test changing brightness with multimedia (Fn + XX) keys as in Samsung laptops they are broken, i.e. they are not sending key release events (see Bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14052). So using Brightness Applet is the only way.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 11 up to date, i.e.
kernel.i586 22.214.171.124-43.fc11
gnome-applets.i586 1:2.26.3-1.fc11
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Test changing brightness with Brightness Applet
2. Update to 188.8.131.52-43.fc11 kernel
3. See
Actual results:
Brightness Applet does nothing. Brightness keys are broken and are hanging keyboard. I cannot change backlight.
Expected results:
Both brightness keys and Brightness Applet can change display brightness.
Additional info:
Samsung X360
see new and old lshal in attachments for more info.

This report seems to be a duplicate of #519105
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '11'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this
bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version,
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here:
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

When crisis hits it puts unexpected pressures on infrastructure. In some cases the state or its civil society is resilient and can cope but where the physical, societal or administrative fabric is already fragile then issues are compounded and recovery becomes harder. And then there's the impact of war.
The world has developed coping mechanisms for dealing with this. Government aid and development budgets kick in, international organisations mobilise and individual donors dig deep to help meet needs. And lots of time, money and thought continually goes into making sure that the quality of those coping mechanisms gets better. But the scale of the need can be overwhelming.
Digital can be a huge enabler and a powerful tool in helping to support those responses. Today is the Techfugees conference. That's a great response to a crisis that has reached the tipping point in the public consciousness. It's brilliant that the conversations don't end today but will be followed by efforts to deal with problems: the Techfugees hack day tomorrow, Ich Bin Hihr in Berlin on Saturday and maybe also Code for the Kingdom in London over the weekend. People are getting together to unify around solving identified needs rather than fragmenting into delivering well meaning, but not yet validated, ideas.
Digital skills and digital talent are good in a crisis and there's a lot that can be done in swarming on the symptoms of a problem. But those skills and that effort is so much more valuable when it's applied up stream as part and parcel of how public goods and public services are understood and delivered in the first place.
Britain has a long established bureaucracy with sophisticated models for collecting tax, issuing permissions and accessing support from the state. Behind that sophistication is a lot of complexity and reliably under a nearby stone will be some antediluvian technology or arcane policy.
The creation of the Government Digital Service, and our transition from peripheral to very much in (not of!) the machine is addressing some of those challenges.We're passionate about placing people at the heart of how we design public services, we know that it will lead to better outcomes and usually it will save some money too. But often we're unpicking the sins of the past. The web we've woven over decades is going to be impossible to untangle by ourselves and that's why this is only something we can do with colleagues across government, collectively.
Unfortunately I think it's still going to take us a long time. And most probably won't be the first to realise a vision of the future which I saw a few months ago. Tom Loosemore invited me to go and see the handiwork of a small band of guerrillas plotting a revolution. Their idea of a natively digital state is amazing and it was brilliant to see the reaction to this being shared at the Code for America summit yesterday.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjE_zj-7A7A]
Tom presented a version of this at our all-staff event and as he showed how future Tom might start a business in minutes I was struck at the opportunity that existed, not for us, but for those countries at the other end of the Human Development Index from the United Kingdom.
The first nation to create new institutions that make the most of the internet will win.
And win big.
The opportunity is huge.
A number of countries have taken bigger, or smaller, parts of what we've done and applied it to their context. On the whole they're countries like us, where there's been stability for a length of time, and where the state structures are fairly well established. I don't think they'll be the ones to take Tom's challenge and run with it.
Last year I wondered whether institutions could heal themselves or if brand new was the only way. We're having a good go at renewal but what could a country achieve if it had more of a blank slate? There would be different challenges to overcome but there's no reason why in 2 or 3 years' time it's countries who are fragile today couldn't be leading the conversations about service design and user needs in the context of government.
So I'm excited that over the next few days people are gathering together to use technology in ways that will address the symptoms of a crisis and provide practical ways to help people access safety, health, and education. But I can't help but think about the moment peace falls and the diaspora of war returns home to start rebuilding. When they do maybe it will be with Tom, Richard and Paul's vision as the blueprint for solid, digital foundations.

Hello all you weirdos. I'm going to start this blog by saying blogging is dumb. Since blogging is mostly enjoyed by women and the path through a woman's brain is a quick spiral into madness, I have decided to live without understanding the allure of your online diaries. Although I have no desire to write this, Juliette pestered me enough to make me give in just to get her to stop. This is probably setting a dangerous precedent for our upcoming marriage.
Step 1: Complete silence. This is the stage where she is desperately hoping that what she fears is going to happen won't happen.
Step 2: The Gasp. This happens when it is clear that the death is unavoidable. This is usually my first sign that I'm in for a wild night. When she is still in step 1, I don't question the silence. I just enjoy it. When I hear the gasp, there is nothing to do but hope that it was caused by making a mistake in candy crush and not related to the show. (This has happened multiple times so it isn't unrealistic to hope for)
Step 3: Intermittent Crying. I'm usually sitting at my computer when these events are unfolding, and this is the moment I know that the show is about to begin. Every fifteen seconds or so she lets out a little sob or a sniffle.
Step 4: Craziness. Once the guy actually dies, it is time for everything to fall apart. This is when the heavy weeping and sobbing begins. At this point I am sitting next to her just staring at her because it is fascinating that her world is falling apart because of the death of a fictional character. I lose track of time in this step so I don't really know how long it goes on. I'm going to estimate 30-40 minutes.
Step 5: NO-stradamus. This stage is impossible to predict. She will randomly switch between steps 1, 3, and 4. (Imagine that scene in Friends where Monica is telling Chandler about the seven places that women like to be touched. It is like that, but not sexual)
Step 6: Demanding Answers/Offering Explanations. During this time she calls out (to God? I don't know) demanding to know why? How could they do this? Don't they know how much Grey has been through? She already lost her sister and her mom and now her husband, how is she going to get past this? Eventually I can't help myself and I start asking questions because stupidly I think there is a way to understand this. This leads to a mostly unintelligible recap of the entire show squeezed into about 30 seconds.
Step 7: Physical Abuse: If I have made it this long (and I usually don't) without laughing, this is when I lose it and she begins to hit me. Luckily she is too sad for her heart to be in it.
Step 8: The Cooldown. We return to step 3.
Step 9: It is never that easy. Only a guy will think a girl's emotions will follow a logical path. She is weeping again.
Step 10: Who Knows? Nobody knows how long it will take for things to return to normal. Usually it takes a day or two. She isn't ready to laugh about it yet but the crying is pretty much over. If you want to avoid this catastrophe, you need to deflect her attention while still in step one. I've never managed to avoid this, but I need to believe that it is possible.

For this fresh new thread I would like to implement some guidelines as to what should and should not be posted on here to keep the thread on topic.
- This thread is only for TV series. You can post up conversations about the current films you are watching Here, and current anime you are watching Here (Frequent Youtube shows/Podcasts, however, are ok) .
- Please keep the discussion to shows that don't have their own topics. For example if you are watching CW's The Flash, you can discuss it over on that dedicated thread so that we don't have a double up of conversations going. You can view a list of all the shows with dedicated topics here: TV Series Directory
- Try to keep to as minimum posts a day as possible. If you watch multiple shows in one day, you can edit your previous post. This is not a thread to help you pad your post count, but to generate discussions about shows that don't really require a full dedicated thread.
Further guidelines may be added to this thread, so check back often.

Archive for November 2013
Unfortunately time was tight this past week, reducing the number of updates I could write and the amount of work being done. I have loaded the character data, faction data, setup the current region and loaded the location data for my save game.
For the moment I'm working on getting dungeons fully loaded from the save games, which has had me revisiting the dungeon loading code again. It turns out this process has allowed me to clean up the code a bit, with better understanding gained by approaching the code from another angle.
So I'll describe a bit of the way Daggerfall interprets dungeon data, which is a little different then DaggerXL did before this point. I'll also explain a little about how objects are allocated and used.
Textures Revisited
First, you'll recall the texture assignment code I showed before for dungeons when explaining how random numbers were involved. In that function there were calls to srand() and rand(), which were valid, and a call to RandByte(). I hadn't fully fleshed out this function, thinking I'd revisit the random number generation stuff later. Well it turns out its both simpler and more complex then I originally thought.
It turns out that function is specific to dungeon textures, so I now call it DungeonTex_RandByte(). But basically another section of code needs to be called first to generate a "key," which is derived from the map coordinates which happens during cell loading or save game loading depending on whether you're loading from a save game, by starting a new game or by clicking on a door. It is generated like this:
dungeonLocTexKey = GetDungeonTexKey( mapX, mapZ, dungeonKeyTable )
In this case mapX and mapZ are not the exact map coordinates but offset slightly from normal:
mapX = worldX/32768 + 2 mapZ = 499 - (worldZ/32768) if ( mapZ < 1 ) mapZ = 1; else if (mapZ > 499 ) mapZ = 499;
Here is the code to build the texture key for the current location. I don't show the key table because it is pretty big – 500 entries.
struct TexKey_XOffsetEntry { word xOffset; byte key; }; byte GetDungeonTexKey(int mapX, int mapZ, TexKey_XOffsetEntry *keyTable) { TexKey_XOffsetEntry *keyEntry = &keyTable[mapZ]; mapX -= keyEntry->xOffset; while (mapX > 0) { keyEntry++; mapX -= keyEntry->xOffset; }; return keyEntry->key; }
Then the key is used DungeonTex_RandByte, as follows:
byte DungeonTex_RandByte() { return dungeonTexTable[ dungeonLocTexKey ]; }
Which is used to actually generate the texture table (you've seen this code before):
word textureTableSrc[5]=; //0x28617C { 119, 120, 122, 123, 124 }; word textureTableCur[5]; //0x286186 void InitializeTextureTable() { int r0 = rand(); srand( curLocationRec->locationID>>16 ); byte r = DungeonTex_RandByte(); int r2 = _texRandTable[ r ]; memcpy(textureTableCur, textureTableSrc, 10); for (int i=0; i<5; i++) { byte n = random_range(0, 4); if ( n == 2 ) { n += 2; } n += textureTableSrc[r2]; textureTableCur[i] = n; } srand(r0); }
… the process looks convoluted and well… it is.
Dungeon Blocks
As you already know dungeons are loaded as "blocks" – each of which is an RDB and RDI file that identifies all the objects, models, quest locations, monsters, loot piles and so on for the dungeon block. For the purposes of culling and rendering, each block is sub-divided into 2×2 sub-blocks. RDB files contain a grid of object root offsets – each of which maps to one of these 2×2 sub-blocks. As it turns out, the game always uses 2×2 sub-blocks, even though RDB files can (and usually do) specify more. Even though these blocks must be referenced based on grid width/height, only the upper left 2×2 block is actually used (the rest of the data is -1).
Daggerfall creates a sub-block game object for each sub-block, which is used as the parent object for the sub-block objects. For rendering, the game loops through each visible sub-block, then traverses the link list of child objects to render, collide with, etc.. Links between objects, for things like switches, actually occur within these sub-blocks, though the height difference can be immense, and the distance can seem quite large due to the windy nature of the corridors.
Each dungeon block is 2048 x ? x 2048 game units, each sub-block being 1024 x ? x 1024 units. Note that the height value is a question mark since there aren't any hard-coded limits, as far as I've seen so far.
Game Objects
When Daggerfall starts up, a 3584000 byte (almost 3.42MB) object pool is allocated. Each object is 71 bytes is size, with extra data that can be allocated based on type. In addition 18 bytes of addition overhead is used for things like previous and next pointers.
Each game object in Daggerfall – things ranging from 3D objects, lights, flats, sub-block objects, the player, NPCs, enemies, etc. – use this pool, with the type specific data being allocated after the 71 bytes. This data contains information such as the world position (in "units" – basically inches), flags, unique identifier, link list data, type and so forth.
So, while the code is pure C, this type of structure allows for some object oriented style behavior – you can think of the Object as being the base class. And they are actually called objects in the original code, as evidenced by the following error message if no object can be found:
if ( !obj ) { printf( "Unable to allocate OBJECT memory." ); }
Anyway you can use the type parameter to determine which structure to cast the type-specific data to, at offset 71.
I'm hoping to be able to show screenshots soon, fortunately by coding support for save games now I can make sure that all locations of a given type work – so my first dungeon shots will not be of Privateer's Hold.
The last couple of days have been slow due to work, Halloween and such, so I'm still working on loading save games. However, to keep the news flowing, I'll talk about a specific element – factions.
When loading a save game or starting a new game the first thing that needs to happen is to load the base faction data from FACTION.TXT. The parser first frees all the previous faction data and then counts the number of factions – by counting the number of times '#' shows up in the text file. At this point, the parser looks for certain symbols: '#' for faction ID and ':' for tags. Tags themselves are hashed, with a callback function being called for any matching table entry using the following table:
struct FactionTxtTag { word tagID; factionTagCB func; }; FactionTxtTag factionTags[19]= //2865BC { { 0x06C9, Faction_ProcessTypeTag }, { 0x0633, Faction_ProcessNameTag }, { 0x0302, Faction_ProcessRepTag }, { 0x1C18, Faction_ProcessSummonTag }, { 0x1AB8, Faction_ProcessRegionTag }, { 0x0D90, Faction_ProcessPowerTag }, { 0x0C85, Faction_ProcessFlagsTag }, { 0x0609, Faction_ProcessAllyTag }, { 0x0CA7, Faction_ProcessEnemyTag }, { 0x0DB4, Faction_ProcessRulerTag }, { 0x05DF, Faction_ProcessFaceTag }, { 0x0616, Faction_ProcessFlatTag }, { 0x063F, Faction_ProcessRaceTag }, { 0x1B76, Faction_ProcessSGroupTag }, { 0x19F6, Faction_ProcessGGroupTag }, { 0x064E, Faction_ProcessMinFTag }, { 0x0642, Faction_ProcessMaxFTag }, { 0x065B, Faction_ProcessRankTag }, { 0x0307, Faction_ProcessVamTag }, };
A few of the entries are ignored – the callback functions actually just skip past the data without recording it, but most fill out the Faction structure. The following tags are ignored: Summon (the game determines this using other methods), MinF, MaxF and Rank. Some tags can occur more then once – up to 2 flats, 3 allies and 3 enemies for example.
Then once all the factions are processed, enemy and ally IDs are converted to faction pointers. Once all this is complete, faction data is read from the save games and overwrites the data (but leaves the pointers as-is). These then have their pointers fixed up again.
So the factions in the text file determine the default faction data, including reputation (which doesn't always start at 0). Only those factions that have been modified or that the player are directly a part of are actually tracked in the save game files. The rest stay at their default values – except for one thing. Each time the faction data is loaded, two random numbers are generated which are used to help determine certain behaviors (more on this later).
Anyway, here is the final Faction structure – I keep track of the actual hex offsets for each variable to make it easier for me to convert from offsets in the assembly code to the variable in the structure.
//sizeof(Faction) = 92 struct Faction { byte type; //0x00 char region; //0x01 byte ruler; //0x02 char name[26]; //0x03 short rep; //0x1D short power; //0x1F short id; //0x21 short vam; //0x23 word flags; //0x25 dword rndValue1; //0x27 dword rndValue2; //0x2B short flats[2]; //0x2F word face; //0x33 char race; //0x35 byte sgroup; //0x36 byte ggroup; //0x37 Faction *allies[3]; //0x38 Faction *enemies[3]; //0x44 //pointers used for traversing the list, these are not saved or loaded. Faction *child; //0x50 Faction *parent; //0x54 Faction *prev; //0x58 };
Obviously I already know how Bethesda hashed the tag names, since I reverse engineered the code that does it, but as a fun puzzle let's see if any of you guys can figure it out – given the data below. This is one kind of puzzle that is often involved with this work since I oftentimes get data that is referenced but understanding the code requires understanding what the data actually means – which is very often not explicit in the code (though it was this time). Unfortunately they are not always as simple as this one.
INPUT OUTPUT (hex) OUTPUT (base-10 "normal") type 0x06C9 1737 name 0x0633 1587 rep 0x0302 770 (see the table above for more examples)
Important clues:
*case matters
*you'll want to consult an ASCII table (search ASCII table on google)
*the number of characters has a fairly large impact on the result
*the transform is simple
*Convert from the tag name, such as type, to the number used in the lookup table using a mathematical transform on the characters.
Post here if you think you've figured it out.

Hidden compartments in a non-descript car yielded a narcotics smorgasbord worth more than $700,000, say U.S. Border Patrol agents who seized the drugs near the Interstate 15 checkpoint south of Temecula.
Agents stopped the 2004 Nissan Maxima at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, April 12.
A narcotics-sniffing dog helped them find 34 bundles stashed beneath the floor boards, investigators said in a written statement.
Inside the packages, officials say, were roughly 4 pounds of brown heroin, 12 pounds of white heroin, 7 pounds of cocaine, and 32 pounds of crystal meth. Total value was estimated at $717,220.

This pregnancy accessory might be worth your money and you may whim to have a few pairs in different colours.
3. Pregnancy Cosmetics: The most important cosmetic products that you need during pregnancy is a body lotion or cream that stops stretch marks from appearing. Shea butter or cocoa cream are supposed to be very effective in minimizing stretch marks. There is also a really decadent feeling about rubbing loads of expensive lotion on your skin when your pregnant.
4. Foot Massage Kit: When you start nearing the end of your pregnancy, your feet will bear the brunt of all the excess weight you have put and hold it together on. So sore feet in the third trimester is as common as morning sickness in the first trimester. To pamper your poor feet, you need an ensemble of foot sauna, foot cream, aromatic oils and a free messier!

So a baby-to-be album will help you kill time by filling in all trivial. It is like a scrapbook for the baby to come.
These pregnancy accessories will help you pamper yourself to the fullest during your term.

James and Nicky state that their experience and assistance from the SBDC made all the difference in the success or failure of their endeavor. James and Nicky first visited the NEC SBDC at Yuba College in February of 2011 as they were interested in purchasing an existing old time retail operation in Marysville. To do so would require start up information and possible funding.
The Davis's have an extensive background as a hobby, in the quilting and sewing field so were sure that they understood the business operations. However, after meeting with the SBDC consultant and starting their business plan, they learned that obtaining useful information from the owners was going to be difficult. They also planned to immediately change the name and move the store to a new location.
During the business plan stages, the SBDC counselor suggested they consider not making immediate name and location changes, but to do all they could to learn who their target clients are and what their needs and desires were. In addition, the price the sellers were asking could not justify the investment and would not help in obtaining a loan.
James and Nicky were very persistent and diligently worked on the business plan while trying to get up to date financial performance figures. In March, the sellers decided that they were ready to retire and were open to an offer. While the inventory value was listed at $93,000 plus other fixtures, etc added to the value, the continued losses over the past couple of years did not justify this asking price. The buyers offered $59,000 with the owner carrying back some of the loan until the new owners could generate some sales.
The SBDC was instrumental in suggesting what to include in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the loan structuring of the business. The Davis's are still looking to obtain a loan to pay off a personal loan obtained to buy the business and have paid off the sellers note from the $33,000 in sales generated in the first few weeks of business.
The SBDC Director says that this is a good example of a client having a goal and then dedicating the time and effort required to making it happen. All of the things they wished for changed in the process, but they remained willing to listen and especially observe. The Davis's made all the right decisions and are now the owners of this fun and exciting business. Customers who had stopped going to the business are now returning and loving the new attitude, materials, trainings and more.

Carmex Lip Balm Pot
Lip Make-up - Lip Care

Review of "Carmex Lip Balm Pot"
"No problems with my lips!"
Among all of my other annoying habits, I always bite the skin on my lips when im
I'm drunk or incredibly nervous. So as you can imagine, after a heavy Friday and Saturday night, on Monday everyone at work thinks i've been on some sort of weird inhaling drug over the weekend because my lips are always dry and swollen and very red!! Sometimes I find myself so attractive!!
I have always found that products like petroleum jelly just give your chapped lips a safety barrier and don't actually heal the skin. So I always use a little pot of Carmex, and I have been using Carmex since about 5 years ago when I was introduced to it.
The pot of Carmex was the brands first product and is still its most popular today, it was created in 1937 which I suppose goes to show that even with technical advances nowadays, sometimes the old products are still the best!
I no that there are many other products in the range including different flavours of the product, but personally I prefer simple, and original. Honestly, I've never seen any of the other products on the shelf in shops.
Carmex is said to be made of three keys ingredients which make it so successful,
1. Menthol - This is an anti itch substance which also cools your mouth and stops it becoming irritable and making you want to bite or chew them further
2. Camphor - this is a pain reliever and stops bruised or cut lips from stinging or feeling bruised.
3. Phenol - this is an anaesthetic ingredient which in general numbs the mouth and makes the chapped feeling go away.
Along with these magical ingredients there are a fragrance in a base of petrolatum, natural lanolin, salicylic acid, cocoa butter and a wax base.
And that's it, the ingredients of a miracle substance.
As boring as it may sound, I once read the ingredients and was quite worried about what I was putting on. Mouths are a sensitive part of your body, and although they are self healing and quick healing I always worried about using too many products on my lips just in case they stopped looking after themselves!
If you've ever tried Carmex you will know that from the second you put it on you can smell and feel a reaction happening. Although this is convincing, to whether the product is doing its job it also gives the impression you could be doing damage.
Never fear…The tingling feeling that comes with the application of the product is completely harmless and all of the ingredients in the product are very harmless and most of them are found from natural substances!
Putting Carmex on from the jar is idiot proof, it's exactly the same as using any other lip balm, just plonk it on your lips.
After you put it on the lip balm goes very soft and melts on your lips and gives a shiny effect like gloss, only not sticky. So I actually use Carmex as a lip gloss too!!
I can understand how due to the glossy effect it may put a few men off wearing the product, but it really is the best product to use and will get rid of chapped or broken lips in no time.
Carmex only comes in a small pot and obviously the length of time it lasts will be down to how much you use it! I use mine constantly and it lasts months, it's really one of those things that go a long way with just a little bit!
As for the effects lasting, they will last as long as you let them, I've starting using Carmex constantly and so my lips don't get a chance to get chapped, however obviously if I didn't use it for a week and kept biting my lips, the chapped effect will come back.
Healing time
Depending on how bad the damage is, Carmex is fast acting. It also helps that your mouth is very fast healing, Carmex and your lips work together and if you coat your lips with Carmex more than a few times a day it should only take a couple of days for the healing to be complete.
Tip - I would recommend that even after your lips are healed you continue using Carmex for the next day or two, to seal the deal!
I am luckily, not a cold sore sufferer, and so I have no experience of whether Carmex is effective, however, I just rang a girlfriend and asked her (she always has one) and she said that she has tried it, and although it worked for her, it wasn't fast enough for her and she prefers to use another product.
Does it matter?? Ok, it comes in a small pot (white) with a screw on lid (yellow) and it says 'CARMEX' on it!
The balm isn't a fashion object in any way, it is not an ultimate fashion handbag extra, but it is an essential in my eyes to any pocket or handbag. The simplicity of its packaging really just outlines how serious and well ranged the product is.
It can be used by men and woman and children without it messing up there image, because it really is just an essential (like toothpaste!)
Yes, no reason for it not to be.
Any qualms?
Not really, the only problem that I have had with it is like Vaseline and other similar products, in heat it goes very soft and makes it messy to apply.
I buy Carmex from the pound shop at the top of my road….for a pound

D.J.'s got moves!
Of all the things viewers notice while binge-watching Fuller House this weekend, perhaps the one they'll least expect is this: Candace Cameron Bure (who is totally hilarious while reprising her role as D.J. Tanner) is great at the physical stunts.
The show gets surprisingly physical in multiple episodes thanks to both choreographed dances and intense wrestling matches, and Bure did all the stunts herself, regardless of the fact that there was a professional stunt double on hand.
"That is me, every single move," Bure tells E!'s Kristin Dos Santos in the video above of a scene involving Mexican wrestling. "They hired a stunt-woman, and they said, 'Don't worry, just watch her and we'll just kind of do close-ups of your face, she's going to do everything.' And when I watched her run through the routine the first time, I went, 'She's not doing it, I'm doing the whole thing!'"
Bure's Fuller House costars could do nothing but praise Cameron Bure's ass-kicking skills.
"It was amazing," Andrea Barber says. "The reactions you see in the audience are genuine."
The Mexican wrestling scene in particular even inspired Jodie Sweetin's Christmas present to Cameron Bure, which we are now definitely going to need proof of.
For the record, Full House and Fuller House producer Robert Boyett was not shocked that Cameron Bure didn't need the stunt doubles.
"I think I would have been [surprised] a couple years ago, but after seeing her on Dancing with the Stars, I thought, who knows what she can do?" Boyett says. "She was the one who said, let me do everything. She did a good job."
The moves Candace learned on Dancing with the Stars (where she came in third) come directly in handy in one episode that features the girls taking part in a dancing competition alongside guest stars and DWTS pros Maks and Val Chmerkovskiy. If Candace surprises you with her stunt skills, then Maks and Val will definitely surprise you with their comedic abilities.
Watch the video above to hear more, and watch Fuller House when it debuts on Netflix on Friday, Feb. 26.

Just a few days ago the first full-photo of Dawood Ibrahim surfaced. The photograph showed Dawood dressed in a pathani suit and coat.
Dainik Bhaskar
The photo appears to have been taken some time back, though it is not clear when. It was obtained by an Indian journalist Vivek Agarwal in Karachi.
The unconfirmed report said that Ibrahim is believed to be undergoing treatment at Karachi's Liaquat National Hospital and Combined Military Hospital.
The gangrene, it is believed, has spread because of high BP and sugar which has contributed to a loss of blood supply to the legs.
A grainy image of Dawood Ibrahim but not the full photo.
Shakeel, who in December 2015 openly threatened to kill Dawood's rival Chhota Rajan, is believed to be the successor of D-Company upon Dawood's death.
Chhota Shakeel photographed in the 90s and how he might be looking now.
Dawood is wanted in India for his involvement in the 1993 Bombay blasts that led to the deaths of 257 people and injuries to over 700.
In July 2015, India hanged Yakub Memon, one of his deputies. Memon's brother Tiger is still on the run.
The Indian intelligence has credible information that Dawood is in Pakistan and that he has shifted his home from Karachi. He holds Pakistani passports under different names.

Orland Park Public Library's second-newest trustee voted with the majority this week to ratify and confirm an earlier vote to leave computers in the adult section unfiltered.
Beth Gierach, re-appointed at the beginning of Monday's meeting, joined board President Nancy Healy and Treasurer Diane Jennings in the 3-2 vote, ensuring passage of the measure to allow pornography for adult viewing. The re-vote was done on the recommendation of board attorney Dennis Walsh in the wake of questions about the legality of the special meeting held Feb. 12, when Vice President Denis Ryan and then-Trustee Mary Ann Ahl joined Gierach, Healy and Jennings for a 5-2 vote in favor of the measure. Ryan was absent Monday, and Ahl resigned from the board.

Should You Itemize Your Deductions For Taxes?
Looking ahead to the filing season for this year's tax returns, a frequent question is whether you should keep track of tax-deductible expenditures or simply settle for the standard deduction amount.
Whether you can itemize deductions on your tax return depends on how much you spent on certain expenses during the year. Money paid for medical care, mortgage interest, taxes, charitable contributions, casualty losses and miscellaneous deductions (usually job or investment related) can reduce your taxes. If the total amount spent on those categories is more than the standard deduction, you can usually benefit by itemizing.
The standard deduction amounts are based on your filing status, your age and whether or Read more

91 Pathfinder - Only Car I Ever Loved
By englishteacher845 on
Vehicle1991 Nissan Pathfinder XE 4dr SUV 4WD
ReviewThis Pathfinder, which I bought in 2000, is a gem. I love this truck more than some people I've met, but frankly, it's more reliable! Thanks to a great mechanic who does its regular service, this Pathfinder continues to have excellent power, tight steering, and just the right amount of bounce (owing to a 2: body lift) to make it amazingly fun to drive. My only issue has been that 17 year old trucks, no matter who makes them, tend to begin to rust. My Pathfinder is no exception.
Best FeaturesI love the steel body, feels safe as hell to drive. The interior is roomy and comfortable. Visibility is excellent. For a big truck, it has a great turning radius.
Worst FeaturesIt's definitely a design flaw that all Pathfinders of this age I've seen have had rust behind the back door stepwells. That could use work.

I was diagnosed with GD on Monday, June 17th. I saw my dietitian on June 19th and got my meter and have been pricking my finger 4x a day, everyday. First thing in the morning for my fasting number, 2 hours after breakfast, 2 hours after lunch and 2 hours after dinner. I'm allowed 45g/breakfast. 15g/snack. 45g/lunch. 15g/snack (if I decide to take it between lunch and dinner). 45g/dinner. And then my 15g/snack if I didn't have it between lunch and dinner. I have been following this diet well, cut out a lot of carbs but noticed I was getting very dizzy at times. My numbers were low. Lower than what they were suppose to be according to the dietitian. I did a test last Sunday with food and pretty much ate what I normally would. I had 2 pieces of chicken with honey bbq sauce, potato salad, macaroni salad, broccoli with cheese and a 20oz sprite because I started to get the shakes. My number was 78. It needed to be between 90 - 120. I called my doctor on Monday, June 24th and asked her if I could do the 3 hour test again or have an A1C test done. She denied both saying I failed the 3 hour so bad. I told her that I honestly think they received the wrong results. My husband works for a medical software company and does the coding for labs when they send in their results and he's seen them mix up the results before. Plus there were 3 of us doing a 3 hour test that morning and we were all getting our blood drawn at the same time. My doctor told me that I should call my dietitian because my meter was most likely broken or they needed to up my food amount. I called the dietitian and she tells me to "eat normal". What does that mean? Go back to how I was eating before having the GD? Because I'm eating the same thing now with the diet as I did before having to go on the diet, minus a piece of cake here and there or frozen yogurt occasionally.
Fast forward to today. I'm at work, having lunch, salad with some cherry tomatoes, a chewy granola bar and veggies (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and cherry tomatoes). I tested 2 hours after I ate which was at 12:30pm and my level was 141. I didn't eat anything out of the norm to make it jump up like that. I have to keep a food log so they will see what I ate. I had 2 slices of pizza last night (I had to give in to a craving just once!!) and my number was 115. I'm not sure what to think about it all. I just tested again and my level was 78. I'm wondering if because I hate the granola bar almost 40 mins after my salad if that could have been a reason.?

Another big reason for having a common area to eat in any building is that it can be a place for people to talk, bond, and exchange ideas. At home, it is where the family members can get in touch with each other and share how their day went by. Catching up on each other is not only necessary for keeping the family bond strong; it can also be the only time that someone may open up about a certain problem. When communication lines are open, relationships are also enhanced. This is very important, because when people keep issues to themselves, they are more prone to sinking into depression. A problem that is addressed early on may spell the difference between being sane and otherwise, or even between life and death.
When planning this important space, consider the number of people who is going to occupy it at any given time. Take into account as well the type of furniture that's going to be put there not only in terms of functionality, but also on how it's going to complement the color and design of the dining room. If it has a country feel to it, then wooden furniture would be ideal for it. If it's leaning more towards the contemporary side, pieces made of glass or metal are a good choice. If you want an eclectic look, you can combine different types of material. You just might come up with a unique design. Just let your creative juices flow.
Again, if your choice is a kit home, the first thing you can do is to browse the provider's site for their existing designs. If the size and design of the dining area is not exactly to your liking, by all means, throw in your two cents' worth. You may also wish to use some specific materials for certain parts. That's perfectly fine as well. After all, it's you and your family who are going to use it. Just make sure your budget allows for these add-ons. You don't want to break the bank just for it and end up not having anything left in your pocket after the house is built.
Make that area for consuming food more inviting by giving it a look that would promote heartwarming conversations so you'll have a happier family.
Tips for Simple Decorating
It is always a good idea to keep a file of the styles of painteting and decorating that you like. While thumbing through a magazine and spot the room of your dreams, clip it out and keep it in a file so that when you are ready to redecorate you have the file handy to remind you of trends and styles that appeal to your decorating taste. Keeping a file on decorative items and accessories in colors and styles that you like will also be handy when shopping. If you plan to hire a painter and decorator to help you enhance your home, the pictures will help give the decorator a better understanding of the type of looks that your desire for your home.
One thing to remember when you want to decorate your home is that trends are trends. That means that after a certain period of time, the preparation and money you spend on something may not be cost effective unless you know how utilize it so that it withstands the test of time. If there is a trendy item that you fall in love with and you feel like you just have to have it, make sure that it has a variety of ways it can be used. Knowledge of how items can be changed or repurposed can be a major benefit for the do it yourself decorator.
Everyone wants their home to be the envy of the neighbors, but knowing how to make it attractive as well as comfortable and practical you have many things you have to consider. Remember the style of your home, and make sure that whatever changes you want to make can be integrated easily into that style. You don't want to one room to clash with the style of the rest of your house, the style can be updated and remain unified.
Install Dishwasher
1. Establishing Electric Connection
Install a 20 ampere circuit from the circuit breaker panel, if there is none installed before. Don't forget to turn off the power on the circuit you are going to work on. If you don't see a circuit then you'll have to do a little drilling. Drill a hole through the floor and continue its run to the circuit breaker panel. For convenience in servicing the dishwasher later you may leave about 6 feet of wire sticking through the hole.
2. Bore Holes in the Cabinet Wall
Prior to installing drain hose a hole of about one and half inch needs to be drilled in the back wall of the cabinet. It should be drilled higher in the wall but should not hit the sink.
3. Connecting the Hose
Through the hole just drilled sneak in the hose and join it with the dishwasher drain fitting on sink drain. If your sink is not equipped with this then you have to install one.
4. Attach the water supply line
For this a water tap with a shutoff valve is required. You may find an easy tap valve which connects over existing water lines. Such valves bolt around the line and with sharp pointed bolt pierce the water line to provide for the dishwasher. Install this if required, you will have to connect one end of the water line to the tap valve and one to the dishwasher fitting.
5. Setting up wiring in the unit
There are two base plate screws on the unit's front side. Use a screw driver to remove it. Once you have removed the cover bolt, you'll see a half inch hole where the wire is to be installed. Insert 6 inches of wire in the connector and tighten it there. Then insert the wire into the hole, strip it and connect tiny wires with their corresponding colors.
6. Slide the unit into the cabinet
Now softly slip the unit into its place while taking care of drain, water hose and wire. Once it has been placed correctly, level the unit, leave the same amount of space on both side.
7. Final check up of the installation
Now that everything is in place, you need to check all the connections. Turn the water tap and check for leaks. Next, turn on the electrical connection. Start one of the cycles on the unit. Let the unit be filled with water and start washing, later press cancel and see that the unit drains properly.
Some Ways to Clean House Exterior
First of all, you have to determine the regular basis of cleaning, so you don't forget about it. As I mentioned above that the best schedule is once a year, however, for regions with high amount of rains per year, you may have to increase the number of cleanings. The best choice will be twice a year, because of the dirt deposits left by the rains, as well as the air quality.
Well, we can now proceed to the cleaning itself. At first, you ave to obtain a power washer. You can either buy it or rent it. Then, connect your garden hose to it and take advantage of the high-pressured water coming from it. You can begin to treat your house exterior effectively by working from the top to the bottom. This way you will avoid any dirty water to go over areas, which are already cleaned. Next, you will need a cleaning solution. There is a good recipe that fits for this type of cleaning. Mix 1 tsp. trisodium phosphate and one gallon of water. You are good to use this cleaning mixture on almost every surface, such as siding, masonry, rock, wood and paint. But if you want to take certain precautions, then contact the house cleaners in Sydney and consult with them. If you encounter any type of mildew on the house exterior, which is actually a common practise, make sure to treat it right. Use laundry bleach and apply it with a sponge, or sometimes a brush will be needed in order to get rid of some tough stains. If the bleach is no good against hard stains, usually dark and heavy, mix ¼ cup of muriatic acid and 1 cup of water. Apply it on the brush and try again.
With the help of these tips you will ensure the best condition of your house exterior. If you happen to have naturally weathered wood, make sure to treat it with oxalic acid and bring back its former beauty. The other way around is to hire a reliable cleaning company and let the professionals handle the job. With a domestic cleaning from Sydney you will enjoy your free time and skip this annoying task.
Some Methods Foundation Walls
• Stabilization of bowed or fractured walls using a Fortress Stabilization System.Essentially, this involves the use of special Kevlar and fiber straps along with a special epoxy. The straps will stop shifting of the walls without the need for any outside excavation, which means less cost for you, less time required for the repair, and less disturbance to landscaping and to the rest of your home. When you choose this method of repair, a series of different straps are interconnected, and then bolted to an aluminum bracket attached to the home's bond board using lag bolts. These straps that are attached to the aluminum bracket are then epoxied to a special fortress strap made of carbon fires so that the walls of the foundation are no longer able to move laterally.
• Polyurethane crack injection.If your foundation walls have only cracks in them, these cracks can be filled using a special method whereby surface bonds are attached and polyurethane is injected into the crack through holes in the surface bond and packed in tightly. The polyurethane will solidify and fill the crack.
• Complete or partial wall rebuilds. Block basement walls can be completely or totally rebuilt from scratch for a solution to larger foundation problems. This is a permanent and extremely effective solution although it can be more labor intense.
Other possible options for fixing foundation walls including reinforcement with steel I beams to help support foundation walls and the home above it; the use of earth anchors and wall plates; straightening of the basement walls; and reinforcement suing concrete re-bar.
Each of these different options has their own advantages and disadvantages, but all of the options provide long-term solutions to problems with the walls of the foundation of your home. When you are dealing with foundation problems, the longer you wait to act, the worse your problem is likely to become. Do not hesitate to take action because of fear of what you will find or fear that repairs are going to be too expensive. An experienced basement waterproofing and foundation repair expert will explain all of your different repair options to you and will help you to make an informed choice about how best to repair the foundation of your home.
Fiberglass Exterior Doors
Doors which are made up of fiberglass are made to embody the pleasing attributes of glass, stain, decorative metals, finish, and carvings. The fiberglass doors are created in a manner which will make it similar to wooden doors but more durable and stronger. Fiberglass doors are finished using different method, most common of which are the high gloss finish and the low sheen finish. The finish of fiberglass doors is made more aesthetically arresting through staining. The color of the stain is usually matched to the overall color scheme of the door unit and the interior design of the whole home.
Fiberglass doors are readily available in the market. Doors of this kind can be purchased primed and ready or they can be customized to fit the customer's specifications. The surface of the door itself is smooth and silky. However, most fiberglass doors are created using toughened glass to make it durable and pressure-resistant.
An exterior door made up of fiberglass is not only more durable, it also provides a higher sense of security. Fiberglass doors are almost resistant to fire and depending on the type and make, the fire rating of a fiberglass door can range from 20 to 90 minutes. Although these exterior doors are designed to minimize the damages caused by fire, they are also equipped with thermostat properties which enable them to regulate the temperature. Fiberglass doors can help a homeowner curb down the expenses due to too much usage of heaters and air conditioners. These doors consume less energy, and therefore are considered as environment-friendly options.
Fiberglass exterior doors are decorated with different highlights such as stained glass or raised molding. An exterior door can also be designed with custom carving and other door accents made up of metal or wood. There are some additional details that are very intricate and Victorian while there are some which are simple and modern. For furnishings fashioned from metal, they can have a finish which embodies the color of chrome, brass, stainless steel, nickel, bright brass or rubbed bronze.
Tips Fix Leaking Pipes
1. After you have turned off the main water valve, drain the water and make the surface dry to avoid any sort of accident as for example your bathroom floor becomes slippery after such leakages.
2. Drape or wrap a piece of rubber around the leaking joint. After that apply a stainless-steel hose clamp. If you don't have rubber for fixation, then you can use a piece of garden hose around the area of leak to cover the hole in the pipe and also around the areas of hole in the pipe.
3. You can also make use of adhesives. They work effectively on dry and clean surfaces. Apply the epoxy on both sides of the leakage.
4. For leaks around fittings, use epoxy putty and apply it around and over the leak.
Now, some Permanent methods of fixing leaking pipes:
1. For leaks in PVC and copper fitting pipes, use a pipe cutter with a plastic cutting wheel to cut out a section to allow you to slip in a compression coupling. Tighten the coupling by hand.
2. Use flexible metal tubes with compression couple on each end to provide a permanent fix.
3. You can install pipe clamps that are specifically designed to fix leaking pipes. You just have to fix or place the clamp over the hole, tighten the screws thereby making a permanent seal.
Any of the above method if you ever need to deal with a leaky pipe will get you back in business quickly.
Exterior Cladding
Sandstone was obviously a extremely popular building material during the entire 1800's and early 1900's. It is a very attractive material and easily workable. The first stone masons were mostly of Scottish origin and did a roaring trade in South Africa, because of the popularity of sandstone as a constructing material. Sir Herbert Baker the well-known architect, was the cause of the appearance of most of the sandstone buildings of note in South Africa, of which there are lots of places of worship, government buildings, homesteads and of course the renowned Union Buildings in Pretoria, which was completed in 1913. Preceding to Baker, the locals simply hewed the stone from the mountain ranges of the eastern Free State in the creating of farmsteads and outbuildings, a few of which remains today. The sections of Fouriesburg, Clocolan, Ficksburg and surrounds remain the major supply of sandstone in an area where there are some spectacular samples of sandstone. There are numerous of sandstone buildings in Bethlehem and Bloemfontein of national importance, many of them designed by Herbert Baker. Supposedly the same stone mason was accountable for hewing all the stones for these buildings becoming a wealthy man asking 1 penny per stone.
It is using this backdrop that the exterior cladding of structures in sandstone has become preferred again as the manual work in creating the material no longer necessitates a stone mason, but instead machines to cast this product. Exterior cladding, today, even so, is rather more for ornamental purposes than that of functionality, but none the less makes a wonderful impact on remodeled houses and the appropriate style of new buildings. It is to be anticipated that the use of exterior cladding with stone products will remain with us and that even new releases might be created to mimic the granite stone of which so many farm residences were built too. Even such product used as exterior cladding would provide for the opportunity of decorating and cladding of lodges and the like in an authentic manner.
Information of Door Handle
Very often it is easy to pick ones that are plain and boring and as such they can be just end up blending in to the background, yet we believe that they can become a real feature if you choose the right one.
Whilst they are always going to be functional be it a handle for a bedroom door or a kitchen cupboard, choosing the right door handle can transform the mood of a room. Kitchen door handle choice in particular can be vital in defining the look of your new kitchen, indeed if you have an old kitchen then switching the handles over to new designer ones can make it look like you have had a new kitchen fitted.
Yet care needs to be taken as if you pick the wrong ones then you could make a 5,000 kitchen look like a 500 one if you opted for cheap plastic handles as an example. Also when choosing handles do remember to factor in the overall cost of them as whilst one at 25 may seem cheap, but if you need to buy twenty then the bill starts adding up, so always factor in the total cost when replacing household doors or fitting new kitchen units.
They now come in a wide range of styles such as black antique ones, which can look great in an old period style country cottage, or even in a modern house so long as they match the decor of the house.
A large number of handles are now made in aluminium, and come in a variety of shapes and finishes, from brushed aluminium to chrome plated. They tend to be very durable and cheap to buy, making them a good choice when you need a lot of them. Although many high end designer ones are made in this material as it can be made in to just about any shape.
Inflatable Chair
Inflatable chairs are made of the PLATO PVC Tarpaulin ,which is the best material in china. A variety of styles, sizes and colors are available to fit your teen's tastes and color preferences. Clear and colored translucent inflatable chairs are common, but plain or patterned opaque ones are also available.

They enhance the overall look of your room and are considered great add-ons to your living room furniture as it provides additional seating arrangement. They are available in attractive shapes and elegant designs in various textures and colors that amplify the beauty of your interiors with soft touch of comfort and luxury.
Since the inflatable chair is so important to you,and you should keep in mind that how to repair it when it has something wrong.
The first step you need to do is clean your inflatable chair and try your best to find the leak.Only you find the leak can you think of the methods to repair.And then if you find the air you need to repair is dirty,you should clean it with a clean coth.Besides,apply glue to the back of the patch and allow five minutes for the glue to become tacky. Press the patch over the leak and hold it firmly in place for 60 seconds. Allow the glue to cure for 10 minutes.

For more than 15 years, I have carried the leadership and technical skills training that I gained during my NOLS semester course into my personal life and professional career. Since then, I have gone on to take many more courses with the school, each time adding to my back country skills and improving my expedition behavior. And most importantly, each NOLS experience introduces students to a team of world -class outdoor educators.
Many years ago, I first heard of NOLS through a fellow Boy Scout leader, and filed the thought for a time when my daughters were older. A decade later my 15 year old daughter was having some problems at school that seemed to arise from low self confidence. I recalled my friend's comment about NOLS and after some encouragement and investigation my daughter decided to take a NOLS 30 day adventure course in Wyoming. The results were nothing less than amazing. My daughter departed as a self-centered child and returned as a self-confident young woman. Her love of the outdoors and the skills she learned from NOLS combined to become a life changing experience for her. After college, the same daughter went on a NOLS program to Tanzania. Through the Tanzania program reinforced the her self-confidence and outdoors skills and provided her a new and different perception of the world and strongly influenced her decision to get a master's degree in environmental science. From the time when I first dropped off my daughter in Lander, more than 15 years ago, I have wanted to personally participate in a NOLS program. The opportunity and my work load finally aligned and I was able to participate in a NOLS alumni program in Wyoming this past Summer. The time outdoors and the camaraderie were all that I had hoped for. I had a great time and heartily recommend NOLS programs for people of all ages.

Objective Evaluation of the Perceptual Quality of 3D Watermarking
In this paper an objective metric to measure the perceptual quality of watermarked 3D meshes is presented. The metric, which is based on a black-box approach, relies on the measurement of the roughness of 3D meshes before and after the insertion of the watermark. To calibrate the metric and to validate it, a set of psychovisual experiments has been carried out. Due to the lack of prior work in this field, a new methodology for the subjective evaluation of the quality of watermarked 3D objects is introduced. The validity of the proposed metric has been tested against a number of different 3D watermarking algorithms, showing an excellent match with the subjective evaluation of the quality stemming from the pshycovisual experiments.
Keywords: 3D object quality ; LTS1 ; roughness ; watermarking 3D meshes
