what tutorial did you learn this from? I want to learn how too do interactions and collect items
just look it up on youtube, there's tons of them. :D
This is very well made for your first flash game.
Well done!
what puri1 said, I like the style and attitude of the game but you need to tech up and learn the ropes and what have you, you should continue to make games
I'm glad you think so!
I'll try to do a "traditional" review with most comments at the end.
Originality: 2/5
Not really your fault, but regular WASD platformers, even ball based ones, have been done before.
Appearance: 3.5/5
Looks pretty good, albeit simple. My favorite effects are small ones, the door-opening animation after pressing the first switch and the laser animations in "rockclimber". Play it again to see what I mean. It's those kind of small touches which help this stand out. Obstacle designs are simple but for this game it works.
Gameplay: 2/5 or 3.5/5
Hmm, what can I say. I have no clue whether the so called "NoClip" is a bug intentionally left into the game after realizing it occurs and adjusting levels to make up for it, or whether it was planned from the get-go. It seems like it was planned, in which case you get a 3.5/5 for a novel way of "warping" up through floors and occasionally down through them. Other than that the controls are all right. Just make sure you define your boundaries of the floor better, since I would often fall off when my ball was clearly on a ledge.
Music: n/a
Actually not bad. Just add an in-game mute button and maybe volume adjustment. It sounds fine for now, though I won't score since you say you're going to change it anyway.
Overall (and final comments): 3.5/5
I liked the effort, though as you say it's definitely in its construction phase. One thing I would suggest is to make NoClip more fluid and integrate it into game play in a puzzle solving manner rather than NoClipping just to grab some extra "green things". Also, I suggest giving the option to NoClip through the floor at will (maybe only certain floors), since this may add a new layer to the game's difficulty. This will require some level redesign. Playtest it thoroughly yourself, since there were several green things which were simply unobtainable. Remember, your usage of NoClip may be the "hook" this game needs, so focus on that if you plan to keep it in the game. Nice first effort, I look forward to seeing it get better.
I really appreciate you're honest, detailed opinion! This will definitely help me while I gradually get better at flash.
Full of glitches. Boring scene. On of those 'gold things' was impossible to reach. It's just not good. Spend time on everything.

AMD to launch AMD 870 chipset
by Fuad Abazovic on10 February 2010
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Cut down version of 890FX
AMD plans to launch new chipset simply called the AMD 870. This new product is an HT3 chipset with support for AM3 socket and 1x16 PCIe gen2 slot. We are not sure if this chipset will be able to support 2X8 PCIe configurations.
This is a discrete chipset that doesn't have any graphics core and it uses FCBGA 21mm package. Its TDP will stay at 13W.
This chipset will use cheaper SB600, SB700, SB710 and SB750 but won't use the more feature rich SB850. It is expected in April 2010 and you can bet that it will come on cheaper or should we say more affordable boards.

|How to get username/jobid/taskid/localdir in LinuxTaskController#createLogDir?
|Thu, 22 Aug 2013 03:01:48 GMT
Hi Developers, This is an issue when I prepare a patch for MAPREDUCE-4490<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4490>, and I added following comments in that JIRA, but no response so far. We are eager to resolve this issue in our env, so any one could provide help? Thanks very much! JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4490 My Comments: " According to the description, I am trying to provide a patch, as we encountered same issue in our Hadoop cluster. First, I added a function in task-controller.c: int initialize_task(const char* user, const char * good_local_dirs, const char *job_id, const char *task_id) { // Prepare the attempt directories for the task JVM. int result = create_attempt_directories(user, good_local_dirs, job_id, task_id); return result; } Of cause, I also modified task-controller.h/task-controller.c/main.c. After that, I try to call this feature through ShellCommandExecutor in LinuxTaskController#createLogDir. However, I found the default LinuxTaskController#createLogDir only has two input parameters (TaskAttemptID taskID,boolean isCleanup), and does not satisfy the input parameters of function initialize_task(const char* user,const char * good_local_dirs, const char *job_id, const char *task_id): we can not get user, dir, jobid, taskid from LinuxTaskController#createLogDir. Any suggestions on the issue which is blocking my progress? "

Tag: Harry Potter steam train
Harry Potter train on track for the Scottish Borders
Tourist train operators in Scotland have backed proposals for an upgrade of the planned rail terminus in Tweedbank. They believed that the move to accommodate longer trains on the new line between Edinburgh and the Borders will attract more visitors to the Scottish Borders and could earn the local economy an extra £500,000 a year. Trains include the Harry Potter train Hogwarts Express.

How are things going? I couldn't help but wonder if your next post would be titled "The Reunion." :-) Kids are so unpredictable.
Knock on wood, things are going really well. The overall level of mischief and mayhem has gone down. The boys seem pleased with the new living arrangement. I'm the only one struggling to adjust! For some reason, this feels like a big milestone on the path to growing up. But I think it's good for all of us to remember that they are two distinct individuals, not a matched set.Thanks for asking!

yeah, definitely. If you play it like that, it really is fun/rewarding. I typically try to play the classes as they were designed/intended, and it makes it more fun. I can't see how running around like an assault player in the recon class is any fun. Not to mention I'm not sure why people do it. I got a ton of points from spotting. people spawning on me. if a teamate kills a enemy that was spotted by the T-UGS, you get points (if I recall). And, you can still use whichever gun you want. On the larger maps, I'll use a 4.5 or 7 magnification to sort of hang back out of the action. On the smaller ones, I'll use a smaller weapon, and get a little closer to the action, but not too close - but sometimes mixing it up depending on our flag situation and tickets.On larger maps I use my pistol quite a bit when moving from cover to cover, then swith to the other rifle
The SOFLAM was killer. Even if you don't have a teammate that has any laser guided munitions (Air to Air missiles, or Javelins etc), you can still use it to spot, and maybe check out an area before going into it. If you place it in a good spot, you can see quite a bit. I really can't wait for the UAV so I can spot a ton. I'm not going to be one of thise idiots who use it to fly into someone to try to kill them. So retarded. Nope, I'll be just fine observing from above and spotting the bejesus out of the other team.
I this was a good aid for me.
I also use this quite a bit to see my stats and upcoming unlocks. Get an idea of which guns I shoot well etc.

text: I started riding mtn bikes on your typical 23mm wide XC rim. Not long after riding mt bikes I switched out my 2.0 - 2.2" tires for 2.35 - 2.5" tires (Moto background influence). Running the XC rims I did quite a bit of pich flatting running low 30's air pressure. Decided I should have wider rims and my DH bike ended up w/ 36mm rims and my trail bike 32mm rims. Fast forward a few years I have noticed running 28mm rims my tire tread is rounder and my bike rolls faster @ high 30's pressure w/ little to no flatting. I now have 28mm rims on my big bike and planned on DT Swiss 5.1's (28mm wide) for my trail bike. Got to thinking can I get by with 23mm rims thus saving weight etc. ? I want to run 2.35 tires w/ Kenda Enduro tubes, or should I just stick with 28's ? Thanx

All economic regions in Texas indicate growth, led by metro areas
Published 6:00 pm, Saturday, February 13, 2010
Although the recovery is just starting to gain a little respect and the pace is still slower than we might wish, all things considered, the Texas economy is performing relatively well. No area remained untouched by the economic difficulties over the past two years, but Texas' short-term outlook is encouraging with continued population growth and a resumption of overall job growth in the near future.
Looking at the economic outlook at a regional level allows for comparison of broad geographic areas across the Lone Star State. There are 13 economic regions encompassing Texas: Alamo, Capital, Central Texas, Coastal Bend, Gulf Coast, High Plains, Metroplex, Northwest Texas, South Texas Border, Southeast Texas, Upper East Texas, Upper Rio Grande and West Texas.
Our recent analysis of key economic indicators over the 2009-2014, short-term period indicates growth in all regions. However, in terms of sheer numbers, the highly urbanized Metroplex and Gulf Coast regions stand out in terms of expansion during the five-year period. These areas are home to the state's largest metropolitan statistical areas — MSAs (Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington and Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, respectively). They already comprise a large portion of the population and economic activity in the state and are expected to see above-average gains in the near future.
Texas is projected to add some 2.24 million people to the population by 2014, with total growth over the five-year period of 9.05 percent, compared to the 4.74 percent anticipated for the U.S. All regions in the Lone Star State are expected to gain residents, some more than others. While not contributing the largest number of people, the Capital Region likely would be the fastest growing (in terms of the rate of change) over the short term, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR, which reflects changes in the base from which growth is calculated) of 2.69 percent per year, far above the 1.75 percent per-annum expansion rate projected for the state as a whole. The South Texas Border is the only other region forecast to achieve a population CAGR of more than 2.00 percent at 2.10 percent.
The greatest population increase (in terms of the number of people) is expected to occur in the Metroplex, which is anticipated to gain 660,585 people, almost 30 percent of the total gain forecast for Texas over the five-year timeframe. The Gulf Coast will likely see the second-largest increase in population (584,763), or 26 percent of total state population growth during the period.
The recent economic climate around the nation has added emphasis to the importance of job growth, with major job losses in the past year. Texas, while performing better than the nation, has also experienced an overall decrease in wage and salary employment. However, the outlook for employment for the state is encouraging, with Texas expecting to add some 1.25 million jobs from 2009-2014.
Similar to population growth, the Metroplex and the Gulf Coast are projected to make major contributions to wage and salary employment growth, both increasing by more than 300,000 jobs and representing 30 percent and 25 percent, respectively, of the growth forecast in Texas over the five-year period. The fastest per-annum growth rate in employment should occur in the Capital Region, with a CAGR of 2.42 percent and an overall employment increase of almost 13 percent during the same timeframe.
Over half of the state's projected $243.90 billion increase in output (real gross product) during the 2009-2014 period is forecast to be generated by the Metroplex (35 percent) and Gulf Coast (31 percent) regions. Real gross product CAGRs for the two regions are 4.75 percent and 4.82 percent, respectively. The remaining 11 regions have per-annum growth rates ranging from 4.23 percent (Central Texas) to 4.95 percent (West Texas). In addition, expansion in retail sales and real personal income growth follow similar patterns as the other economic key indicators discussed above with all regions projected to experience growth over the 2009-2014 timeframe.
The short-term outlook for Texas is most certainly upbeat in comparison to previous years. While the Metroplex and Gulf Coast will contribute largely to the overall state expansion in all economic indicators, growth is anticipated across all regions of the state.

text: Hi, A bit of background... My grandfather was a semi-pro photographer in rural Ireland during the 1930s - 1970s. He created a huge amount of work including family shots, formal poses, rural life studies etc. over the years. Since his death (30 years ago now) the collection has become more and more scattered between his 11 (it was rural Ireland!) children. The "owners" of the prints and negatives are very posessive of their personal collections and refuse to share with others. These factors, along with others, have made me decide to gather up as much of the collection as I can access and digitise everything. The digital collection will eventually catalogued and distributed to all. The first step is to obviously scan in the source material. There are a range of formats which the photographs are in - large format, 35mm, negatives and prints. I would estimate that 95% is B&W. What I would like is some advice on which scanner(s) to purchase, bearing in mind that I'll need to scan both prints and negatives. If best results would be obtained by purchasing dedicated film and print scanners then fair enough, but my hardware budget is about 500 in total. Thanks!

A post on a listserv board by anti-drug prohibitionists today got my blood boiling! The post stated:
"Am interested in checking what people know and think about the use of "bitcoin" as a currency to purchase unregulated drugs via the internet.
Would regulation of this unofficial currency assist in reducing the ability
to purchase drugs internationally?
One of our members lost a son to adulterated cocaine purchased via bitcoins through a broker in Queensland".
I had to reply and wrote:
"No sooner than one means of obtaining illicit drugs is stymied, another pops up to fill the void! Prohibition's effect is to expose the public to ever more dangerous compounds and ever more ruthless criminal networks.
Silk Road, up again after temporary closure by the FBI, has spawned dozens of copycats, all using various forms of virtual money as the means of trade. Bitcoin is but one of numerous "currencies" used – it initially had a notional value on par with the US Dollar, Euro, etc.
Whilst "invented" by a Japanese mathematician and designed as much as an academic exercise as anything else, the Bitcoin world quickly spiralled out of control and was swept up in an acquisitive tsunami based on what the oft manipulated and highly cynical market notionally valued the now very sought after scrip to be worth.
After reaching Poseidon like heights, all too similarly unsustainable, the Bitcoin trade whirlwind blew itself out, collapsed and was regulated out of contention and then to really drive the point home, the U.S. indicated that it would be seeking to prosecute those it held responsible for trying to subvert the world's monetary system!
Meanwhile, thanks again to prohibition, the root cause of runaway demand is flushing out fresh criminal entrepreneurs and every minute of every day, old, new and adulterated drugs, guns of every description and human beings are sold, bartered and stolen in what has become an anarchic super-supermarket!!
And to answer your question about regulating virtual currencies, that's the whole point! You can't regulate them!! Bitcoin only became exposed to regulation when it went to bed with the stock marketeers. It entered the bull ring (bear pit) out of greed and paid the price!
Dismantle prohibition if u ever wish to control drugs!
See Portugal!"

At the time of the job, the price was very reasonable, they showed up and called when they said they would, and the quality of work appeared to be above average and it still looks great one year later. Jessie even took the time to follow up after the job was complete just to check on the customer satisfaction. I would recommend this company to my friends and family."

When it comes to looking for a podiatrist Sydney has many options. We approach our podiatry clients with a professional and non-judgmental attitude. All we need you to do is to remove all of your shoes and socks and we will do the rest! Podiatry is what we do and feet are what we love!
Are you looking to fix your feet issues and live a happy life thanks to our Podiatrist Sydney clinic? It's crucial podiatry is done professionally, including structural re-alignments, toes and toenails, heels, foot arches and ankles.
Podiatrist Clinic Sydney provides extensive for health consultations and medical solutions and even foot cleaning services in our Sydney clinic – your feet will be glad you visited us.
The major differentiator between the use of podiatry in a holistic setting as opposed to a purely medical or alternative health setting is the presence of multi-disciplinarian podiatrists and the wide range of activities undertaken by our therapists and doctors in their support of our patients.
Standing, walking, sitting, running and gym-type exercise all have an impact on the health of your feet which demands the service of a group who understand the intricacies of holistic podiatry.
Our steam cleaning of your feet both sanitises and deodorises them as a precursor to advanced pampering. Our dry exfoliation methods ensure that even the most delicate feet are cleaned and treated with care.
There are four things to remember when getting a podiatrist's treatment. These are:
Our services are all performed from our Podiatrist Sydney clinic. If in the northern beaches we can assist patients who need transport with a specialised taxi service from Manly to Palm Beach. Our pick up service also covers the Sydney Eastern Suburbs from Watson's Bay to Maroubra, or in the Western and Southern suburbs of Sydney with adequate notice we can arrange transport as far as Penrith or the Sutherland Shire.
Podiatrist Sydney are life-changing at what they do. They did a very effective job remodelling my hardened arches and heels from years of working as a cleaner of kitchen and bathroom floors and seeing me more comfortable in my later years is a very important thing to my husband. I since sent my mother to see them as she had bunions and arthritis in her toes and she has had considerable relief from her suffering even in her eighties.

And treasure is peace,
And peace is life again,
Then isn't it all some cruel circle?
A circle of truths?
Of Lies?
A circle of everything?

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser at Angel Stadium
Coco Crisp is available to pinch hit tonight, like last night, but manager Bob Melvin decided to give him the maximum rest possible, with tomorrow's offday, to make sure he has no more issues with his hamstring. (He's been cleared to hit against left-handers, but it's also a lefty for the Angels tonight, Tyler Skaggs.)
Josh Reddick is out of the lineup – he's struggling, no doubt, but Melvin said there are some better signs lately, and Reddick is recognizing pitches better. He had two walks yesterday, and he scored two runs, but he's 4 for 40 overall, and his .098 average is second lowest in the majors. With Skaggs going, Melvin decided not to start Reddick vs. a tough lefty as he's trying to get back on track.
"A day off is upsetting, but I understand it against a tough lefty," Reddick said. "Obviously, I'm upset with the way I've started the season, especially coming out of spring, when I was feeling so good at the plate. But April has never been my best month, May and June are my two best months. I'll grind through this and finish strong."
Reddick feels as if he is making some progress, so he's not discouraged. "It's close," he said. "It's going to happen. I'm real close. It's game 15 of the year. The team is winning. I've just got to keep working and moving forward."
Not so patient: a section of the fan base, as Reddick has seen on social media, where he and Daric Barton have been torched lately.
"I'm getting a lot of brutal feedback on Twitter," he said. "Instead of getting mad about it and letting them have it, I just block 'em."
Erstwhile closer Jim Johnson also got off to a poor start, but it's not clear if he'll regain the closer role soon even after several solid outings, including a win in last night's 11-inning game at Anaheim. Melvin said the team will look at it after tomorrow's offday, but when it comes to using the back end of the bullpen, Melvin said, "A lot of it ends up being feel."
Last night was clear progress for Johnson – as Melvin said, on the road, closers don't necessarily get those kind of intense situations, and Johnson had to pitch an inning in a tie game and then an inning with a one-run lead. He got a lot of groundballs, a good indication for a sinkerball, and when he missed in the zone, he missed down – a big improvement.
Johnson, asked if he feels back where he normally does, said, "I would hope so," and he said he will continue working. More grounders is definitely a good thing, that's for sure, but Johnson doesn't really feel comfortable discussing his status every day. That's kind of understandable: He wanted to get off to a good start with his new team and didn't, which doesn't feel great, and he's not in control of if or when he regains the closer role. "I don't want this to turn into the Jim Johnson Watch," he said.
This is just my take, but I think the closer-by-committee thing might continue for now. It may or may not grow to include Johnson, and at some point, maybe he just slips back into the role fulltime – but with the A's winning eight of the past nine games, my impression is that things won't change in the short term.
Melvin mentioned last night that he was trying to stay away from Fernando Abad and Luke Gregerson. Gregerson has appeared in eight of 14 games, Abad five. Abad hadn't appeared in a game since Sunday and threw just a third of an inning then, but Melvin noted that Abad, as a situational lefty, is often up two or three times a game. That work getting ready, even if not used, can be just as taxing as an appearance. Had Tuesday night's game continued, though, Melvin said Abad would have been next in line after Johnson.
Here's the lineup: Gentry CF, Lowrie DH, Donaldson 3B, Cespedes LF, Norris C, Callaspo 1B, Punto SS, Moss RF, Sogard 2B. Milone P.
Melvin has been hitting Alberto Callaspo balls at first base and he said he is getting better and better there. He just needs to learn a few of the intricacies of the position, like bunt plays and cutoffs, etc., but he's improving.

The Bachelor Recap: Overnight-mare
"I know that he's not the one," bachelorette Andi Dorfman admitted before the brunette beauty made one of most dramatic exits in Bachelor history, criticizing Juan Pablo for his self-absorbed personality after their overnight date in the fantasy suite turned sour.
After a casual day on the island of St. Lucia, Andi saw a side of Juan Pablo that she didn't like. When the cameras were turned off, the Bachelor began to talk only about himself, Andi revealed, offending her when he brought up personal time that he had spent with Clare.
"It's extremely important for me to be with a guy that loves me more than he loves himself," she said.
And when she decided to sit down with Juan and confess her true feelings, she just got angrier with him. "You don't even really know who I am," Andi said.
While Juan blamed their miscommunication on their language barrier, Andi argued that Juan had never showed any interest in getting to know her. She challenged the Bachelor to state what religion she practices, what her social views are and what political party she is involved in, but he had no answers.
When he asked her to name his religion, she replied smugly, "Catholic."
"I'm not going to argue with a lawyer," Juan admitted and they said goodbye.
While St. Lucia turned out to be a nightmare for Andi, it was the setting of fantasies fulfilled for the two other ladies.
Clare was the first of the three remaining bachelorettes to be whisked away by Juan this week. The two spent the whole day sailing around small islands on a luxury yacht.
Although they sucked face all day to the point where they barely came up for air, Clare felt unsure as to whether or not she would accept Juan's offer to spend the night with him in the fantasy suite.
After the two had taken it too far in Vietnam, she was cautious about making the same mistake twice.
But she couldn't pass up the extra time with Juan and used the opportunity to admit that she loves him.
"He's that man that I want to have babies with and want to marry," she admitted as the cameras left them steaming up the Jacuzzi. The next morning the Bachelor stated that the two had spent the night talking and cuddling. Sure, Juan.
JP took Nikki out horseback riding on the beach during the day and relaxed in the fantasy suite at night. Things got a little awkward after she admitted that she loves him, but it seems like Juan Pablo's reaction to everything is a kiss.
There's one rose left and two blonde arch-rivals for Juan Pablo to choose from when The Bachelor continues.

A perfect date night involves finding a balance between what he loves and what she loves. A delicious meal ranks high among men and women which means cooking is the easy part. Coming up with a unique activity that appeals to both parties is a bit more challenging. Try suggesting a game of poker, something he likely enjoys, but instead of chips, create coupons for tasks or activities. For example, create a card that relinquishes you of dish duty or laundry duty or a card that says the person who loses has to plan the next date night, go on an ice cream run or give up control of the remote. Add in some romantic tasks like back massages and candlelit baths and your date night activity can give you things to do for weeks. Be creative and have fun with the process. Since you each will get the chance to create the cards, there will be a mix of things you both love. A personalized game is a great way to connect, and the fact that he scored dish duty for the week will leave you begging for the next poker night.
Just because poker night generally involves chips and beer doesn't mean you have to serve that during date night. This Eggplant Caprese Salad is easy enough that it won't take up your whole evening. It can be served as an appetizer or as the meal. Pair with a fruity red Italian wine such as Chianti.

Dolphins vs Texans: J.J. Watt, Defense Destroy Miami 30-10September 9, 2012
The bulls paraded all over the Reliant Stadium field in Houston on Sunday, as the Texans stomped the visiting Dolphins 30-10.
Despite an uneven performance from the Texans' offense, the defense made life miserable for rookie starter Ryan Tannehill who was sacked three times, threw three interceptions and fumbled.
Houston labored to move the ball early in the game, but a flurry of activity spurred by J.J. Watt helped turn the nip-and-tuck affair into a blowout. Watt batted a Tannehill pass up in the air and Brian Cushing picked it off. Arian Foster turned it into a touchdown with just under two minutes to play in the half to break a 3-3 tie.
Tannehill responded by throwing another pick, this one to Kareem Jackson. Three plays later, the Texans were up 17-3.
Miami tried to run out the final 35 seconds of the half, but Daniel Thomas fumbled and again, Houston capitalized in just three plays.
Three touchdowns in two minutes proved to be more than the anemic Miami offense could overcome.
It was a successful opener for the Texans, but not a revealing one. Houston was clearly the better team going in. The defense was every bit as dominant as one would expect, and Miami simply isn't in Houston's class.
The offense was more of a struggle than the Texans would have liked. Foster had a workman-like day, grinding out tough yards and two scores against a determined Miami front.
The big question for the Texans moving forward will continue to be how they find ways to move the ball through the air. Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels were their typical spectacular selves, combining for more than 200 yards receiving.
The Texans picked up just 43 combined yards from the other tight ends and receivers, however, doing nothing to answer questions about where passing offense will come from outside of the top two targets.
These are minor quibbles, of course, on a day where the defense forced four turnovers and held the opposition to five yards a pass and just three points on offense.
With the other three teams in the division all losing, Houston heads into Week 2 with a full game lead in the AFC South.

EDMONTON (WIVB) – Yet another new face will be in the lineup Thursday night, with goalie Matt Hackett set to make his first start for the Sabres against Edmonton.
Hackett, who is with the team on an emergency call-up, has 14 games of NHL experience – all of them with Minnesota. He was one of the players Buffalo acquired from the Wild in last year's Jason Pominville trade.
Nathan Lieuwen, fresh of his first career NHL start Tuesday night, will serve as the backup while Michal Neuvirth continues to recover from an injury. Jhonas Enroth did not even make the trip with a lower body injury of his own.
Buffalo takes on Edmonton Thursday night at 9:30pm.

The accessory market has exploded over the past couple of years and even for men there is lots of choice out there at the moment. We are big fans of Japanese brand Porter, which is still very hard to come by outside of Japan.
Nevertheless there are some companies out here that do a great jobs. The bag has become also for men an important accessory, to travel or simply to go to work with the laptop. We checked out the brands Moore & Giles and Krane.
Moore & Giles is a brand that has been around over 70 years now. The brand is based in Virginia and creates natural leathers. Now they offer an entire range of bags – laptop bags, tote bags, weekend travel bags and more. The fine leather and smart choices of the mix, is what attracted us the most.
We especially enjoy the large travel bags by the brand. They come in a big range of leather choices and looks great!
Krane is another interesting label, in comparison to Moore & Giles, definitely a more modern take though. Founded in 2004 by by Ken Chow – a graduate of the Menswear program at New York's F.I.T and who interned with Marc Jacobs and Alexandre Plokhov of Cloak, the label presents a mens fashion line and a bag collection, which we look at now.
"Krane Design combines the practicality of vintage uniforms with details from modern industrial design in pursuit of forward, functional, innovative and individualistic everyday garments and accessories. Old school traditional tailoring techniques meet technology and a new school stylistic design attitude in delivering essential items that acknowledge the thoughts and aspirations of the new contemporary man."
His bags come with the uppers made up of waxed cotton. Smart form giving and practical transformations, make his line multifunctional! (pics of the Krane bags taken from Blackbird blog)
This was out take on some exciting mens bags! After the jump some more pics of Krane bags.

Returning to the field after a tough 2-6 season last fall, football is hopeful that a mix of strong leadership from its upperclassmen and fresh talent from a squad of new Ephs will give the team the necessary strength to take on its schedule of conference rivals this season.
Leading the men this year under Head Coach Aaron Kelton will be the team's co-captains: Austin Lommen '16 and James Howe '16. Lommen, who transferred to the College last year from Boston College, serves as one of the team's quarterbacks. Originally from Minneapolis, Minn., Lommen went 157-256 for 1495 yards in his first year wearing the purple and gold, throwing for seven touchdowns along the way. Howe, a defensive lineman from Charlotte, N.C., tied for seventh in total tackles for the Ephs last season, securing 19 solo tackles and 38 total. In his sophomore season with the team, Howe led the men in tackles with 55 total while also securing 10 sacks, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. His efforts that year earned him recognition as First Team All-NESCAC Defense.
Other seniors, including quarterback Mark Pomella '16, will look to make a mark on the team as well. In his appearances as quarterback last season, Pomella passed for 78 yards and was responsible for 93 yards rushed. Strong performances in the realm of defense are expected from the likes of linebackers James O'Grady '16 and Johnny Bond '16 and defensive back Jack Ryan '16 who, combined, shared 131 tackles over the course of last season. O'Grady was the only Eph who secured an average of eight tackles per game in the fall of 2014.
Hope is also high for strong results from some of the team's younger members. On offense, the team can expect much from running back Connor Harris '18, who last season earned the Charles Dewoody Salmon Award for outstanding contribution to the varsity football team in his first or second year of eligibility. Running back Greg Plumb '18, who averaged 17 yards returned per kick last season, will also be a potential impact player to watch.
"We are really excited to get the 2015 version of Williams Ephs Football started," Head Coach Aaron Kelton said. "We have been working long and hard as an entire program since the end of last season preparing for this year. We believe we have a talented, hard working group of players who have something to prove. On offense we have Matt Jewett '16, Charlie Grossnickle '16, Lommen, Alex Way '16, Darrias Sime '16, and Colin Brown '16 to lead the way. On defense we will look to Howe, Ryan, O'Grady, Bond and Dylan Barbour '16 to guide our youg guys. We have had a very good pre-season and believe it is going to lead to a really good regular season. We have high expectations this season and look foward to getting great support from the Williams College Community."
The men will compete for the first time this season on Saturday at Bowdoin. They will have their home opener on Oct. 10 against Bates.

I Do a Wedding Song Dedicated to Same Sex Marriag[CD]
~ Ron & Maryann Sfarzo
Product Notes
COUPLE HOPING SONG HITS THE RIGHT NOTE BELMONT PAIR PUSH THEIR TUNE 'I DO' AS ALTERNATIVE MUSIC TO PLAY AT SAME-SEX WEDDINGS By Sean Webby Mercury News ''Here Comes the Bride'' doesn't quite sing for gay couples thinking marriage, especially the guys in tuxes. And ''Chapel of Love'' may seem out of kilter to some standing on the steps of a rebellious City Hall. So a Peninsula couple has penned a song whose synthesized strings and message of love's perseverance may soon echo from progressive places across the country. It's called ''I Do.'' And Maryann and Ron Sfarzo, the musical couple who wrote it, think it might be the first wedding song penned for same-sex unions. ''The door has been closed so many times for them,'' Maryann Sfarzo said. ''So I go: 'I should write a song!' '' She wrote the lyrics. ''They have the same feelings as we do,'' said Ron, a 56-year-old Menlo Park patrol cop. ''People are people. If you don't have love, you have nothing.'' He composed the music. ''We are the perfect couple to write this song,'' continued Maryann, a former insurance agent who declined to reveal her age. ''We understand the feelings of people.'' ''I Do'' is just the latest oeuvre of the two musicians, whose collaborations have included a patriotic tribute to America after Sept. 11, 2001, called ''America, Our Country/America, Our Home''; an ode to Oahu, ''Oh, My Sweet Honolulu''; and an unused theme for the Jerry Lewis telethon. The latest song flashed into Maryann Sfarzo's head as she watched the morning news broadcasting San Francisco's historic rush of gay unions. The line of couples outside City Hall to be married thrilled and inspired the Sfarzos, who have been married 35 years. And over the subsequent week, Maryann began filling up Post-It's with her lyrics. ''The road that led us to this moment was not an easy climb/ The world would not accept us as we lived our lives as one/ But we stood by each other and here is where we'll stay/ Our love is true and faithful as I say 'I do' today.'' Maryann Sfarzo said she wrote her lyrics to be inspirational, focusing on the romantic mood rather than the political edge of a controversial movement. ''I don't write lyrics that will create a major issue,'' she said. ''I just don't go there. I think about the world as a happier place.'' ' I DO ' The Wedding Song For Same Sex Couples. Buy It Now!

President Aurelio De Laurentiis suggests a Napoli-Juventus Coppa Italia Final is too big for Rome. "We could play in Paris or London."
The two giants have not won silverware for many years, but go head-to-head for the Coppa on May 20 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
"The whole world will be flocking to Rome. Going into a big stadium is exciting, but we'll have to see if the Olimpico has the right characteristics to host us," said Napoli patron De Laurentiis on Radio Marte.
"From what I can tell, there aren't that many seats available for a game that is already starting to hit headlines despite the fact we're in March."
The Italian Super Cup is played in Beijing, so it is possible the Coppa Italia Final could also be hosted outside of the peninsula. The Stadio Olimpico has a capacity of 72,481.
"Right now they say it'll be played in Rome, but it could be Milan, Paris or London. Juventus President Andrea Agnelli and I will have our say on the venue for the Final, discuss it on Monday and set ticket prices.
"We do not want to cut anyone out, but rather impose the organisation so we can avoid ticket touts. I urge the Napoli fans to continue with the process of signing up for the fan passport. I was against it, but in truth it comes from a sense of belonging and could be indispensible to be there for that match.
"I know there are around 150,000 fans registered between the two clubs and this could represent a problem. An important match always creates problems and it even happened for Milan-Barcelona in a bigger venue. Clearly, that is not enough.
"In any case, the Final must be a great festival of football, a day based on sport and friendship."

Had this story going around in my head after I watched the movie so I thought I would write it down.
Disclaimer: I don't own Arthur Christmas, only my OCs and this storyline.
Hope you enjoy.
Sudden Meeting
After Arthur became the new Santa Claus he started to leave the pole more often. He would go out into the world to just see the children and what they did in their everyday lives. He wanted to see what really made them smile. Because it wasn't just the material gifts they got on that one special night every year but it was the people in their lives that lifted their hearts.
Arthur watched as the children played together, sharing the gifts he had delivered that year. He didn't just want to deliver the gifts then go back home just like that. He wanted to see their reactions, just like Gwen. That's why, every year, on the day after Christmas he would sneak out. It was a different place in the world every year.
This year's town didn't seem to be different then any other. He had chosen at random. There was snow on the ground and the children were out playing just like every other year. He watched as snowballs flew and the new sleds the children had received went shooting down the hills. Arthur wished he could be out there with them, but he could never convince Steve to go with him.
He was standing over the cover of some trees watching them laugh as they cut through the snow. He hadn't started growing his beard yet and the hair on the top of his head was still brown, not gray. Yet he still felt like he needed to stay out of sight and watch from the sidelines, but he would soon learn that it was all right to get out there and have fun with the rest of them. He didn't need to be cooped up back at the North Pole.
That's where he was the first time he saw her. The meeting was quite sudden and some would say painful. She came whizzing down the hill on her old wooden sleigh that she had gotten one year when she was very young when she asked Santa Claus for a surprise. One of her friends had pushed her without warning down the hill. In her surprise she didn't steer the sleigh very straight and ended up veering towards the trees.
Arthur didn't see her until it was too late. All he heard was an incoherent shout before her sled knocked him off his feet. He landed on the back of her sled as it kept going. Together they went screaming down the rest of the hill with snow spraying into their faces. A mound of snow sitting at the bottom of the hill was what finally stopped them. Arthur burst out of the snow, gasping.
"Sorry." A voice said beside him. She was a little less buried in the snow and she managed to pull herself out. She wore a long dark green coat with a red tuque pulled on over her brown hair that she had pulled back into a ponytail. Her long red and green striped scarf hung around her neck. "I didn't see you there." She apologized as she started to dig him out with her woolen mittens.
"That's alright. I wasn't looking either." When Arthur looked up the first thing he noticed were her eyes. They were a very attractive emerald green.
"Here." She stretched out her hand for him to take. He shook himself out of his daze and grabbed onto her hand. She pulled and managed to pull him out of the deep snow.
"Do you need help with your sled?" He asked, seeing that it was still lodged in the snow.
"Oh." She said, as if just noticing. "Yeah, thanks."
Together they dug it out without a scratch on it. "I swear that thing is indestructible." She commented. "I've had it ever since I was a kid." She was about the same age as Arthur.
"I love these old sleds." Arthur smiled at her.
"They're fun but I must say a little hard going down." She laughed.
"Jamie!" They heard someone yell. They turned to see a woman come running down the hill towards them. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Had a little bit of padding." She glanced over at Arthur.
"Good, because we have to go or we'll be late. The kids are waiting and you promised." The woman pointed out.
"Oh I almost forgot." She glanced down at her watch, remembering. "Sorry Florence."
"Come on." Florence tugged on her arm.
"Right, I'm coming." She looked back to Arthur. "It was nice meeting you…"
"Arthur." He stuck out his hand.
"Arthur." She shook his hand. "I'm Jamie."
"We're going to be late Jamie." Florence was more insistent.
"Maybe I'll see you later." Jamie said, hopefully. "Arthur."
"Yeah." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"You should ask him to the dinner." Florence suggested.
"I've only just met him." Jamie whispered back, thinking Arthur couldn't hear.
"It'll be fun." Florence nudged her.
"Well…" She turned back to Arthur. "We're having this dinner tonight. Nothing too big, but it's sort of an end of the season kind of thing. One last boom before we take the decorations down."
"Sounds fun." Arthur smiled.
"Really?" Jamie's face lit up. "You'll come?"
"I'll try." He said.
"Come to this address." She quickly scribbled it down on a piece of paper. "It starts at six but you can come anywhere around that time, later if you like. Whatever works."
'Thanks." He took the paper from her.
"See you then." Then she was gone, Florence pulling her away across the snow.
Arthur looked down at the paper she had given him. It was the address of an orphanage not too far from the hill. He smiled. Why not? Though his family would probably start looking for him soon. He would have to tell him he would be out late.
He didn't know what, but there was something about Jamie that intrigued him. Something about her made his heart beat faster. He had never felt this way before and he wanted to know what it meant.
"Jamie." He said her name as he watched her disappear.
Thanks for reading and please tell me what you think in a review. I would really appreciate it.
Hope you stick around for the next chapter. It will be fun.
See you next time.

July 19 Update: On Thursday, July 19 at 2 pm EST, the CFIDS Association of America hosted a webinar on the information that ME/CFS patients ask for most – post exertion relapse. It is now over.
The webinar – "Top 10 Things You Need to Know about Post-Exertion Relapse" – will feature the Pacific Fatigue Lab's exercise physiologists Staci Stevens, Chris Snell, and Mark Van Ness.
This trio of fatigue analysts has worked for years, helped by CFIDS Association funding, to develop: 1) measures of post-exertion malaise (PEM), as a diagnostic test for chronic fatigue syndrome, and 2) measures of multiple body system functions as part of comprehensive disability evaluations.
Your questions invited. You can help shape their presentation by submitting any questions you have when you register.

Napoli have reportedly agreed a deadline day deal to bring in Giandomenico Mesto from Genoa, as the Grifone replace him with Damiano Ferronetti.
Mesto's agent has apparently been in talks with Vesuviani officials today in Milan, with the player understood to be keen on the switch south, after four years and 100 appearances for at Marassi.
The deal, which will see the full-back sign a three-year contract at the San Paolo, is set to be immediately followed by Ferronetti's transfer into Genoa, as his replacement on a free transfer.
Ferronetti had originally signed with Torino earlier this summer, after leaving Udinese at the end of his contract, but a falling out with Coach Giampiero Ventura saw him cancel his two-year deal just a fortnight later.

I have an Epilog Zing-24, and have recently started using it to cut acrylic parts for prototyping. Usually, I take a SolidWorks drawing, create a drawing, export it as a DXF file, pull it into Corel Draw, and then I have to go into the drawing, and draw offsets to each line I want to cut, to make up for the beam width, or the final parts come out either too small or too large. Re-drawing everything using offsets, is painful and time consuming. I cannot just go into solidworks and make everything bigger or smaller, because later on, if I want to cut the same part on CNC mill, I will have trouble there.
Does anyone have any easy solution to this problem?
Normally, on any other CNC machine, I would pull the part into a CAM package, specify the toolpath, and the size of the tool is automatically handled by the CAM package. Perhaps there is a way to control the Zing with some g-code? Then I could use a CAM package to generate the laser path, and the beam width could be accounted for.
All suggestions appreciated.

Juventus director general Beppe Marotta praised Andrea Pirlo and commented on those Zlatan Ibrahimovic rumours ahead of tonight's game with Milan.
"Pirlo personifies the profile of a great player, both in terms of quality and his professionalism. More than fortune, it was a favourable coincidence and we made the most of it," he said of the free transfer from Milan.
"We know that sides like Juventus are obligated to win always. We have to get the most from every game until we have mathematically won the Scudetto."
Agent Mino Raiola told the media this weekend that Ibrahimovic would be ideal for a return to Juventus.
"Raiola does his job, which is to sell a champion like Ibrahimovic. Juventus, just like every other Italian club, are not prepared to support such a big contract, especially as the wages include taxes.
"If he were to reduce his wages, then I imagine many teams would come in for him. I'm fairly sceptical about that, to be honest, especially as it would have to be a radical cut.
"Juventus have certainly won back their international appeal. When we arrived it was difficult to work on the transfer market, as every player we contacted expressed reservations due to the tough seasons we went through.
"We have rediscovered our appeal in Italy and abroad, so agents are daily coming to us in order to offer important players.
"The Coach and club are in sync, so we'll discuss the strategy together after the end of the season. We'll try to make him as happy as possible, but we are still administrators of a business and in financial terms Italian clubs are having trouble competing with the European giants."

Thai Sculptor Transforms Scrap Metal Into Amazing Artwork
We've seen our fair share of robot sculptures built from scrap parts before, but these reproductions of Transformers Autobots may be the best yet. Anchalee Saengtai is getting international exposure thanks to Ripley's Believe It or Not, which is hosting her work at their odditoriums in Hollywood, New York City, London, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Jeju Island, South Korea. She and her team have built a 19′ (5.7 meter) tall version of Optimus Prime, and an 8′ tall Bumblebee using basic tools. It's unfortunate that we tend to see a lot of these pieces standing in rather lifeless poses (a one-on-one robot battle pose would be much cooler!). The third film in Michael Bay's live-action failogy hits theaters June 29th.

Operation New Life April 23 - October 16, 1975
While the first evacuees were settled in hotels vacant private apartments scattered throughout the island, this was clearly an inadequate long-term solution. Military forces began "large scale" housing projects - ranging from the rehabilitation of old and unused buildings to construction of new mass housing facilities. "Tin City" was centered around vacant troop barracks on Andersen Air Force Base. Many of these buildings were old "quonset huts" left over from World War II and Viet Nam eras. Air Force personnel cleaned and outfitted those buildings such that they along with a good many tents pitched in the area would eventually house several thousand people.
Camp Asan, a former civilian contract employee housing camp, was reopened by Marine Corps personnel in the village of Asan. These buildings had just recently been condemned - but with thousands needing shelter - even these meager and run-down facilities were used to house a few thousand people. About a year later - Typhoon Pamela destroyed what was left of the camp.
On Orote Point within the U.S. Naval Station, Guam, scene of some of the most intense fighting during the liberation of Guam in 1943, U.S. Navy Sea Bee crews began clearing 500 acres of brush and preparing "pads" to accommodate thousands of tents.
The call went out from COMNAVMARIANAS that help was needed - all commands that could spare people were requested to help as much as possible. Among the many commands responding with bodies was USS PROTEUS - the Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine Tender which was a long-time "resident" at Polaris Point, inner Apra Harbor. Captain Greer left only an absolute minimum crew aboard that would be required to get the ship underway in the event of an emergency; plus some additional specialists required for assistance to the submarine(s) in for refit- and the remaining 1000+ man crew and officers reported to Orote Point.
On May 7 three ships sailed into Apra Harbor with nearly 15,000 evacuees aboard and two days later three more ships disgorged an additional 8,000 Vietnamese. In all, more than 111,000 evacuees passed through Guam, a number that exceeded Guam's civilian population at that time by a least 20,000. While most of the evacuees continued on to the United States, some 500 chose to make Guam their permanent home. Operation New Life was officially closed on October 16, 1975 although it was not until January 15, 1976 that the last transient evacuee left Guam.
|One of those ships arriving with refugees. From this distance - there doesn't appear to be that much unusual about the ship.
|However a closer look reveals that the decks were absolutely and literally packed with human cargo - such that people reported that they had been standing for the majority of the voyage - in such desperate and squalid conditions such that when they had to relieve themselves - many had little choice but to go where they stood. One quickly learned to stay upwind of these ships as they arrived - at least until they could be washed down.
|Orote Point is the site of a WWII Air Strip - which had long ago been abandoned to the Guamanian jungle. The paved main runway was the only land not overgrown with shrubs, bushes and trees. An area covering 500 acres straddling the old runway was bulldozed and cleared in hours.
|Tent "sites" were measured off and marked by Sea Bees, a tent "kit" would be dropped at a site - and a "Tent Team" would move in and start work.
|Once a "pad" area was smoothed - the tent's frame was assembled...
|canvass fastened to the frames - and another "home", "office", mess tent, etc. would rise.
|As can be seen here - while not required to be part of the "working party", USS PROTEUS Senior Chief Petty Officers and Officers put their time in as well - usually a chief or officer was "in charge" of a Tent Team... but in reality - wound up working as just another team member. Putting up tents isn't rocket science - but in Guam's typical 85 degree 90% humidity climate - the physical toll can be serious. Here Senior Chief Electronics Technician Robert Dibben is about to relieve another chief as one of the team leaders (needless to say - he wasn't this neat and tidy in a couple of hours!). Crews started working around the clock in shifts.
|The "city" starts filling in - with housing tents and sanitation facilities.
|Besides housing, offices for administration work, medical facilities, supplies and materials warehousing and distribution, and of course kitchens and eating halls all had to be built and equipped, stocked and made ready.
|Supplies arrived by the truckload. Thousands of everything from rolls of toilet paper to towels and blankets - chairs, tables, forks spoons, etc. - everything that 25 -50 thousand people would need - who have little but the clothes on their backs when they arrive. When Tent City was first envisioned - it was thought that the number of evacuees so housed would be up to 50,000. Reality proved the number closer to 75,000 before it was all over.
|As the "administrative" facilities started shaping up - various workers - many volunteers - began to arrive to help. It was obvious to most that Health Care workers and Food Service workers were going to be stretched passed reasonableness - but even the Clergy would soon find themselves overwhelmed.
|And sooner than later. Mid afternoon - this convoy roars up the old runway - which now serves as "Tent City's Main Street". Note the Yellow Bus...
|Ah... Busses.
|The floodgates have opened - the first of nearly 75,000 people arrive to take up residence.
|The first of those fleeing the Communist takeover of Siagon step once again on free soil - and the place many will call home for the next several weeks to months.
|Some come by way of the USS Midway - CV 41. Notice the "Boomer" (Fleet Nuclear Missile Submarine) coming into port... NOTHING changes the schedule of the Boomers.
|Yes the Boomers. Even while 90%+ of Proteus' personnel are on Orote Point building a city - this boomer has just completed a successful refit - and is sailing for yet another patrol. The few crew left on board Proteus were able to see to it that while not everything the boat might have "liked" to have serviced could be addressed -- essential systems and supplies were taken care of - on time. The boat's crews had to take up much of the slack - so even though they were not directly involved in "Tent City" - it did still have an impact on them as well.
|The fall of Saigon had an impact on every taxpayer, as well. Here a large crane is off-loading helicopters, planes, and other equipment...
|Leaving a now clean deck on the Midway.
|A "parking lot" full of aircraft - most off-loaded from USS Midway. Most of these were loaded onto barges - taken out over deep water - and dumped.
|Here is one of several barges of off-loaded equipment - this one being many helicopters. Many of these barges were towed / pushed to sea --- out over the deepest part of the Marianas trench - and the contents "swept over the side". An untold number of planes, copters, etc. were dumped at sea - millions and millions of dollars lost.

As I've done a few mock drafts recently, it has become more and more surprising to me the order that closers come off the board. The first time I saw Jonathan Papelbon as the first closer taken I was able to dismiss it. It was just a one-time thing, right? Well, when I did another mock draft last night and once again Papelbon was the first closer taken I have to begin to wonder what is going on?
Don't get me wrong, Papelbon is among of the elite closers in the league, but is he really the best one available?
Before we answer that question, let's look at his line from 2009:
1 Wins
38 Saves
68.0 Innings
76 Strikeouts (10.06 K/9)
24 Walks (3.18 BB/9)
That's an amazing line, there's no arguing that fact, but there are some concerns, most notably with the control. He has a career BB/9 of 2.33, so there's a good chance he improves there, but seeing him struggle there has got to make you take notice.
Is that enough to make you say, stay away? Of course not, but it's worth noting.
What could be a bigger issue is the number of innings he throws in a season. Just look at his totals the past four seasons:
- 2006 – 68.1
- 2007 – 58.1
- 2008 – 69.1
- 2009 – 68.0
Compare that to someone like Jonathan Broxton, who has thrown 76 innings or more in three out of the last four seasons, including a year of 82. Is it a huge difference? No, but when you strikeout batters at the rates that these two guys do, an extra 12 innings means an extra 13 or 14 strikeouts. That adds definite value.
It also gives his ERA and WHIP a little bit of a greater weight on your entire team's. Again, not a huge difference, but it certainly is worth noting.
What about the value of Joe Nathan, who has had an ERA above 1.88 twice since 2004, when he became a full-time closer? Over that same span he's had a WHIP above 0.98 once (and never above 1.02) and has never had less than 36 saves. Why is he being valued below Papelbon?
Is it because of the fact that the Papelbon pitches for the Red Sox? That's great and all, but it's just not enough to make me say that he should be the first closer off the board. The Dodgers and Twins are no slouches and should offer plenty of save opportunities for their respective closers.
Let's take a look at what I'm projecting for Papelbon in 2010:
Don't get me wrong, those are tremendous statistics and ones that I'd love to have on any of my teams, but is it really enough to make me go out of my way to select him as the first closer taken? No, it's not. If no other closer had been taken and I was itching to take one, Papelbon wouldn't be my selection and it's nothing against his abilities. It's just that Broxton and Nathan, just as examples, are better options in my mind based on what they bring to the table.
What about you? Do you see Papelbon as the best closer available? If you do, why?
