Korin, You have outdone yourself again! I love, er no, LOVE all of your stamps! My most fav out of this bundle is Bethany. Good one to make and send out to others that may need a rainbow or two to brighten their lives.
You are so generous with your talent, love of stamping (and coloring), and your products! You are such a sweet, kind and beautiful woman! Thank you for sharing all of your talents with the rest of us!

First of all, how can you not love your stamps, I absolutly adore them and for me they are useable for every occasion. To choose my favorite is like choosing my favorite child. :) but I guess, wow this is so hard to choose. I guess Sending hugs Bethany because I can use it for birthdays, anniversaries, just saying hi! and thinking of you and wish you were here. Oh my I am going on, but my mind is racing with the potential of using your stamps.
Thank you for your cuties and also for your blog hops and all you do.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I no longer want an animal if it doesn't come to me in a box."
"Outside a wolf, a dog-in-a-box is the most terrifying thing. Inside a wolf, it's nice and soft."
"dog is fur, dog-in-a-box is fur and box in a holy matrimony. "
Dog-in-a-Box, a British company founded in 1967 during the infamous 'Doggy Boom' (a period where the purchase of Dogs around Europe sky-rocketed) was founded by Wolfgang ' the Jack ' Russle. During this period the problem of canine transportation was of serious concern to many of Europe's nations and it was clear that a company had to be created to handle this crisis. The 'Canine Transportation Authority of Europe and Asia' (KTAEA)was chosen to handle the problem and, after a brief period of debate, decided to start a company dedicated to shipping Dogs known as 'Canine Carriers'.
edit Canine Carriers
The mass production of Boxes to transport dogs started in earnest in August 1967. Thousands of these units were sold, not just in Europe but also around the World, but several flaws were later discovered in the design of the boxes used.
- Cuboid Containers - The original design for the containers was a simple 5ft by 5ft cube. This design was very inefficient as only one Dog could be placed in the Box (due to KTAEA regulations) and each box took up much room.
- Lack of Air-holes - Due to the supreme ignorance of engineer John Lucian Savage (who died trying to prove there was, in fact, no problem with the design of his box by shipping himself 3000 miles) a crucial element, 'Air Holes', was left out of the box design. This caused some lesser species of Dog to suffocate while in transport and resulted in huge losses for the company. One unanticipated consequence of this design flaw was the brief popularity of a spin-off product, Dead-Animal-in-a-Box.
- Construction Methods - In an attempt to save money the company decided to make their containers out of Cardboard and hold them together with cello tape. This decision proved unsuccessful on account that whenever a Dog took a bathroom break, a box would disintegrate. This proved especially annoying when the box that collapsed was one at the bottom of a stack.
Due to these and other problems, 'Canine Carries' soon went out of business. However, the problem of Dog transportation was still very real and so a new company, this time organised by the 'International Organisation for Transport of Mammals and Rodents' (IOTMR) was formed, call 'Dog-in-a-Box' (or DiaB). In June 1969, a legendary company was born.
edit Dog-in-a-Box
This company, created as a subsidiary of 'Boxes IN', took full advantage of the companies experience gained from transporting Lamas and the French, and completely redesigned their boxes. These new boxes included air holes, were of a much more practical design (perfectly fitting the shape of the average dog) and were made of Corrugated Cardboard. The company enjoyed huge profits and became a household name. In the Christmas of 1968 alone, over 17.5 million units were shipped to locations throughout the world. The 'Doggy Crisis' was finally at an end and many Dog-loving people were once again happy. However the company did not always enjoy such success.
edit The Great Fire of '78
In the winter of 1978 a worker in the DiaB factory (located in England) showed further examples of supreme ignorance when, in an attempt to create a superior product so he could 'wow' his supervisor, tried to weld two pieces of cardboard together. This would not normally be such a problem as welding cardboard was a common practice in manufacturing in the 70's, however this worker failed to use the proper safety precautions and, as a result, the entire factory went up in flames.
The losses were great. A total of 1 millions boxes 68% of the companies stock were lost that night. It took the company almost 7 years to recover fully. The worker who caused the fire was laid off as soon as his part in the disaster was discovered, however he moved on to a job with Microsoft where his destructive abilities were far more appreciated.

A shrinking global economy (read: shrinking budgets) means that kitchen gadgets are also getting smaller.
There has been a major shift in the realm of kitchen gadgets - instead of purchasing high-end stoves and big ovens, people are buying smaller, more specialized accessories, which until now were reserved to the kitchens of professional chefs, according to AllRecipe's "Measuring Cup" Report, released on December 9.
With an increasing number of men in the kitchen, the male tool of choice is the meat thermometer (men were also more likely to search for meat-heavy recipes), while women preferred colorful silicon spatula sets.
Top 10 kitchen gadgets of 2010:
- Silicon spatula set (#1 "most wished for" on Amazon US)
- Digital meat thermometer
- Microplane (brand) Grater
- Mandoline
- Kitchen Scale (#8 "most wished for" on Amazon UK)
- Salad Spinner
- Cake Decorating Set (#7 "most wished for" on Amazon UK)
- Bamboo Cutting Boards
- Candy Thermometer
- Apple Peeler
Countertop appliances (like blenders) are also competing with the traditional stovetop; as people resort to cooking at home to cut costs, smaller and more novel technologies are overtaking traditional ones.
Page views for meals prepared using countertop appliances grew in 2010, with blender recipes growing 43 percent from 2009. Views of recipes using a Slow Cooker grew 31 percent.
Other popular small kitchen appliances on Amazon (US and UK) include:
Handheld mini blender (Cuisine Art Immersion Hand Blender, approx. $30/£19) is the top "most wished for" and best-selling small appliance on Amazon US.
Slow cooker (Hamilton Beach 33967 Set n Forget 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker, approx. $45/£28) is the second "most wished for" and the third best-selling.
Mini food processor (Kenwood CH180 Mini Chopper, about £6/$9.50) is top best-seller, "most gifted" and "second "most wished for" on Amazon UK.
These findings are based on AllRecipe surveys and data conducted on the site's online community of more than 25 million "home cooks" (regular people who cook at home).
All Amazon figures are as of December 10.

Get in loser, we're going gender-reversal casting! More
In case celebrities spend as much time as I do obsessing over who would play me in the movie-version of my life, here's a list of famous people that I have trouble telling apart. More
We can't always get what we want, guys. And I know that because Crushable wanted to put a bunch more people on our 2013 list of 25 Crushable Guys Under 25, coming out tomorrow, but we couldn't, because a lot of them had had their silly old twenty-sixth birthday already. Rude. More
I don't dislike Kickstarter as a concept, only the fact that millionaires have started asking for money on it so they can make a movie I will then have to pay more money to see. Not really a fan of that. But I'm a fan of Daniel Radcliffe poking fun at it by pitching a movie with his Kill Your Darlings co-star Dane DeHaan. More
Dane DeHaan recently worked with Daniel Radcliffe on the movie Kill Your Darlings, and the two of them got adorable, bromance-iously close during filming.The two of them play lovers in the film, and share an apparently passion-filled onscreen kiss, and hearing Dane talk about it is wonderfully refreshing. More
Here's what you should know about up-and-comer Dane DeHaan, who will play Peter Parker's best friend Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2: His relationship status, experience with superhero movies, and other upcoming projects. Plus, an eerily fitting GIF. More
Dane DeHaan may not be our first pick as a prime time hunk (his claim to fame is playing the aggressive and manipulative gay teen Jesse this season on in In Treatment). Still, he'll be joining the sexy cast of True Blood next season as one of those sideshow were-jaguar teens that Jason Stackhouse was tasked with guarding, meaning that we'll be drooling over him in one way or another come next summer.

Anyone Hear Low Flying Jet Engines at Full Power Tonight?
Original post made by Midtown Man, Midtown, on Sep 6, 2013
Lasted 30-45 seconds, very low and close. Lowest I have ever felt a Jet over my house. I ran outside. Time: 6:40 tonight (Friday). Area: Midtown. I thought we were all going to get one (a crash). I ran outside and could not see it, but I have never heard a jet so close! Scary. Didn't sound like a Moffett Field jet, more commercial and big and lumbering full blast to get aloft, to get some height.
Just an hour before, I was in the back yard, and two otherjets, one small and fast going to SF ybe a commuter from LA , and another,
big jumbo size, slowly turning towards SF over PA, both seemed to be at the same elevation or nearly so. I wondered if the air traffic
controllers started a weekend shift short handed. They didn't look well-placed. Just imagine.

Yes, saw one as I was outside Piazzas. It seemed quite high to me, but noisy. Looked like it was heading away from SFO towards Santa Cruz area, didn't appear to be head towards or away from Moffett so it did seem strange.

Ditto here. There was one that was very loud this week, too. Maybe it was yesterday? At first I thought it was a medical chopper - it may have been, but the sound was much smoother & it sounded more like the jet tonight. Very strange.

There was an F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter that flew over, flying slowly but engine running quite loud, at around that time. It doesn't show up on FlightRadar24.com, but if you want to see the commercial traffic that's the place to go and look. You can use the "playback" feature to see historical data (time in UTC, we're currently -7h from UTC)

Exciting to have so many aviation enthusiasts! We'll see how many show up at Palo Alto Airport Day later this month.
I saw that jet this evening climbing westward about 3000 feet directly over Zot's, apparently just out of Moffett. I wasn't positive on the ID but others in my group agreed it was an F-18. There was a time when kids would look up at that and dream of becoming a pilot. Such freedom and romance!

The late night/early morning, low flying private aircraft heading to our airport are additional noise-polluters.
It seems to be getting worse all the way around in terms of noisy planes. Was standing in my garage last night (all doors/windows closed) and couldn't believe the engine noise of a commercial craft overhead (around 10-11pm). Flight patterns clearly vary -- noise-free for hours and then a barrage of low-flying planes. When you look at the radar map, some drop to ~5000ft crossing over Palo Alto on their way to SFO. Seems they could wait until they are over the bay.
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Nov 5, 2013 at 10:26 pm
If you think commercial aircraft noise over Palo Alto has increased in the last few months... you are correct. In August 2013 the South China Morning Post reported that the FAA, in response to the Asiana crash at SFO, had begun advising Foreign Airlines to stop using the 5,000' visual approach to SFO, and to only fly 3,000' GPS final approach routes. These overseas flights, which typically use larger four engined craft, are the jets rattling your windows, and vibrating your walls.
The smaller craft that emit a high pitched whistle are flying a new approach to SFO known as "NextGen" which the FAA began to roll-out at Bay Area airports in January 2013. Under "NextGen", aircraft "coast" down from altitude at high speed along several precisely navigated approaches. If you live under one of the "NextGen" approach routes, you better get used to it. The precision navigation used in the "Nextgen" system will channel air traffic into several narrow flight paths, and allow air traffic control to use much smaller aircraft-to-aircraft spacing.
Under the prevailing westerly winds, there are five basic approach routes to SFO. Three of the five routes fly directly over Palo Alto. "NextGen" approach routes typically overlay existing conventional approach routes.

It's also one of the easiest and fastest practices to learn. You can learn it in minutes, do it anywhere and on virtually any issue, and oftentimes experience immediate results.

In this audio book, you'll not only learn how to start tapping, you'll also get the history and cutting-edge science behind it.
The Tapping Solution will show you how to tap on a variety of issues and identify practical applications.

- 15 Minute Introduction -
When to use XML Instead of a Relational Database
Room4me.com Software LLC
By Frank Font 2005
This document may be quoted and copied freely when appropriate authorship attribution is also included. Disagree with the content? Email
What is XML?
XML is the abbreviation for Extensible Markup Language. This is an open and popular standard for marking up text in a way that is both machine and human readable. By "marking up text" we mean that the data in the text files is formatted to include meaningful symbols that communicate to a reader what that data is for. The syntax of XML is similar in style to HTML, the markup language of the World Wide Web (WWW).
The data in an XML file can be organized into hierarchies so that the relationships between data elements are visually obvious. The data and the structure are always presented together. XML is intuitive once a few simple syntax rules are understood. Designing a good XML structure is something a non-technical business subject matter expert can do after minimal instruction.
Beyond simple XML text, there are related technologies such as XML Schemas (XSD) and XML Transformations (XSL). These technologies complement XML text documents by adding value in the areas of validation and processing.
What is a Relational Database?
A relational database is a powerful data storage and retrieval technology where data is stored as rows in tables and the database has one or more tables. Each row of a table has the same columns as every other row in that table. Data is related between tables using the concept of "foreign keys" so that data in a row of one table can be associated with one or more rows of another table.
Data in a relational database is readable by executing SQL queries in a management tool to extract and present the data in any number of ways. The extraction requires an understanding of the database structure, including the foreign key relationships. Designing a good non-trivial relational database requires significant training and/or significant experience with relational database design techniques.
What do they have in common?
Both XML documents and relational databases store data. Both have established techniques for extracting the data they contain.
What does a relational database do better?
Relational databases are better for handling large volumes of data within a system. They have mature management systems that can efficiently and reliably maintain large quantities of structured data. This data can be updated via transactions that ensure the integrity of the database and the content can be extracted very quickly when properly configured. There is no equivalent XML management system, and using XML documents directly for storing and maintaining large volumes of data can prove both inefficient and unreliable.
What does XML do better?
XML documents contain both the data and the informative relationship structuring of that data in a way that both machines and people can read. An XML document can be electronically transmitted from one party to another and all the information is carried with it, so they are self describing. Databases, although self-describing to a knowledgeable database technologist using appropriate tools, are not generally transmitted in their entirety from one party to another.
Since XML does a very good job of delivering self-describing data feeds it has become a key standard in Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web Services.
Consider using a relational database within a system to manage and maintain a large data store, or to manage a data store that is regularly updated by various users. Use XML as the format of data that is delivered to client programs and between components of a distributed system. Creating XML documents from relational database queries is a natural way to combine both technologies.

Variable selection in linear regression
We present a new Stata program, vselect, that helps users perform variable selection after performing a linear regression. Options for stepwise meth- ods such as forward selection and backward elimination are provided. The user may specify Mallows's Cp, Akaike's information criterion, Akaike's corrected informa- tion criterion, Bayesian information criterion, or R2 adjusted as the information criterion for the selection. When the user specifies the best subset option, the leaps-and-bounds algorithm (Furnival and Wilson, Technometrics 16: 499–511) is used to determine the best subsets of each predictor size. All the previously men- tioned information criteria are reported for each of these subsets. We also provide options for doing variable selection only on certain predictors (as in [R] nestreg) and support for weighted linear regression. All options are demonstrated on real datasets with varying numbers of predictors.

Studio Guilherme Torres came onto the RL House project towards the end of it being completed when the owners longed for a new look that was anything but traditional. Located in Curitiba, Brazil, the two-bedroom (plus an office) apartment is now full of personality with its mostly blue and green decor.
It's an eclectic mix of textures and patterns making it serious eye candy. While not overly done, the place is high on contemporary style while most definitely remaining a livable space.
The wood wall is made of Brazilian Pinus wood (a type of pine) that has pretty much no value in the country, but looks amazing on this wall.
The bedroom is void of the colors you see in the rest of the space – mainly furnished in black and white.

A great friend of mine, who worked in the garden business once had to plant a full grown tree into a very rich woman's garden. The woman was unsatisfied and told the gardeners that they would have to replant the full grown tree into a different postition.
It was as if she we're re-arranging her living room.
My friend was not happy; Not because he would continue to be making money on-the-hour, but because he would have rather been planting Chrysanthemums.

Traditionally decorated, the apartment features chandelier light fittings, marble flooring and ceiling murals. The classical bedroom contains a double bed and storage units, whereas the lounge boasts a double sofa bed and authentic Venetian ornaments.
The historical attraction of San Marco Square is only 7 minutes on foot. Doge's Palace, San Marco Basilica and Museo Correr Museum are all situated in the surrounding area. The Square is also home to the famous Venice Clock Tower.
Guests can enjoy easy access to all areas of the area via Vaporetto water bus. Alternatively, exploring the alleyways and narrow canal streets is also a great way to get to know the city and discover the hidden local cafes and bars.
If your trip in Italy includes a stop in Rome, do not hesitate to ask since I have an amazing apartment there.

Organic Granola
Organic granola is granola handmade from 100% organic ingredients and without any traces of any artificial flavoring or color. In its truest from, granola is a crunchy breakfast as well as snack food which is extremely popular in North America. The dish is made from nuts, honey, rolled oats and sometimes, rice is added for flavor. The dish is baked and the end-product is a muesli-like preparation which can be consumed in any way preferred, at any time. When the organic version of the dish is prepared, all the ingredients used are ones which have been grown, cultivated and processed organically. Organic dried fruits are used and the brown, raw rice grown in organic farms is preferred over polished and processed rice. Nuts and oats used are also organic.
Granola is a very nutritious dish and is the preferred food of backpackers, hikers and campers. When made with organic produces, the preparation becomes even healthier as there is no presence of anything synthetic or artificial which might cause harm to the human body. In recent years, the organic version of granola has become much popular and various large-scale sellers keep a stock for ready purchase. Another important reason for the popularity of the organic variant is that the calorie content is much lower than the traditional preparation. This makes it a suitable food for conscious eaters as well as those who are wanting to lose weight.
Preparation of Organic Granola
The organic version of granola is prepared much like the traditional variant, the only difference is the ingredients used, which are all organic. The dish is fairly easy to prepare and baking is the method of cooking. The preparation time is usually about 10 minutes or so, depending on how crisp or crunchy a dish is preferred. The ingredients are all mixed together and the mixture is baked till it is crispy enough.
Serving and Eating
Organic granola, like traditional granola, is served after it has cooled and reached room temperature. Depending on individual preferences, the preparation can either be consumed as it is or with milk. Yoghurt, fruits like banana and strawberry, honey and some other cereal can be added to the granola to make it more delectable. It is, however, important to remember that to ensure that the granola stays organic the add-ons used should be organic as well.
In some places, organic granola is served as a topping for pastries, cakes and other desserts.

Star-birth party almost over in NGC 2976
NGC 2976 does not look like a typical spiral galaxy, as this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows.
In this view of the oddball galaxy's inner region, there are no obvious spiral arms. Dusty filaments running through the disc show no clear spiral structure. A raucous interaction with a neighbouring group of hefty galaxies stripped away some gas and funneled the rest to the galaxy's inner region, fueling star birth about 500 million years ago. At the same time, the galaxy's outer regions stopped making stars because the gas ran out. Now, the inner disc is almost out of gas as new stars burst to life, shrinking the star-formation region to a small area of about 5,000 light-years around the core.
Astronomers pieced together the galaxy's star-formation story with the help of Hubble's sharp vision. The galaxy's relatively close distance to Earth allowed Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) to resolve hundreds of thousands of individual stars. What look like grains of sand in the image are actually single stars.
Studying the individual stars allowed astronomers to determine their colour and brightness, which provided information about when they formed. Based on this analysis, the astronomers reconstructed the star-making history for large areas of the galaxy.
The blue dots in the image are fledgling blue giant stars residing in the remaining active star-birth regions. NGC 2976 resides on the fringe of the M81 group of galaxies, located about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major.
The observation is part of the ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury (ANGST) program. Data for the image were taken from 27 December 2006 to 10 January 2007.

That catch makes it appear that a pre-pay arrangement to split powder is somehow illegal or you wouldn't have developed the catch. In fact, the catch is unnecessary since a pre-pay arrangement to split powder is not illegal. IIRC there was an ATF opinion that indicated such, possibly on another forum. If given a choice, no one would want to participate in a pre-paid powder buy that included such a restrictive catch as that. Some clubs have a powder license to supply their members with powder at a small profit. And other clubs have an FFL to supply their members with guns at a small profit.

I see. As I have reviewed the ATF policies, it appeared that transfer to others could only be done as a sale at the time of transfer and by a licensed dealer. The policy is very sensitive to who buys it and what their intention is for its use. However, and as you and others have pointed out, a pre-pay agreement is OK. In my original statement, the (discovered unnecessary) catch was based on the need to keep the possession of the powder to a single individual to avoid the ownership transfer to another without the proper licensing. It would be no different than having your friends chip in on a keg of beer that you'd all drink together, provided each gets a rationed amount based on their contribution.
As I had said before, it's seems like more hassle than it's worth. And just for the record, friends don't pay for beer at my house.

Arcticap - Thanks for the clarification.
Scooch and Arcticap - I don't see the hassle you refer to. Pay the guy, pick up your powder. The only difference between that and a retail buy is that you pay in advance. Kind of like what you do when you order something from a catalog or internet site. What's the 'hassle'? |

Articap, I think I over complicated it in the interest of keeping it more legal than just legal or barely legal for that matter.

Just exactly how dominant is the recruiting class Nick Saban and Alabama are putting together for 2014? When it comes to 5-star recruits, there has never been a class with more since ESPN started assigning star ratings in 2010.
[RELATED: Bama lands another 5-star recruit]
The Florida Gators reeled in four 5-star prospects in 2010, but outside of that, the next closest teams have signed just two in a single class.
One thing to remember is that there are still a few days left in this recruiting cycle, including the ever-important and nerve-racking National Signing Day. From the looks of it, however, Saban is getting ready to ink yet another special class.

GameEnd (Gaming & Emulation Frontend) Progress Update
Posted by
Hey there Gaming & Emulation enthusiasts!
As you may have seen previously, I've been working on a Gaming & Emulation Frontend called "GameEnd". GameEnd is a Gaming & Emulation front-end that works with any Emulator and also supports your Windows & Steam Games.
I've been churning away at it since then (programming), along with getting extremely valuable Graphical & Video work done from the amazing NyNy77. We've been making substantial progress lately and decided it was time to share an update. We are constantly nearing closer and closer to that elusive public beta that I previously spoke of.
Checkout the latest preview video below:
Update on features that were not implemented at the time of my first post:
- Couch interface: Platform Wheels. Status: done.
- Metadata scraper: Automatically retrieve images, game details etc. Status: done. I want to add more scraping sources before the public beta, to offer wider coverage.
- Asynchronous Metadata retrieval: Download metadata whilst continuing to use GameEnd at the same time. You're not blocked until the metadata is downloaded. Status: Done.
- Game Editor: Edit your games details and settings. Status: done.
- Fast performance. Status: Has seen several optimizations done since the initial post. It is currently performing well, even on the most modest of hardware, based on the limited testing pool we have tested on so far. Several sections of code have also been re-written to offer better performance.
- Couch Mode Startup Videos: A video that plays upon starting Couch Mode. Status: Done.
- Folder restructuring: A unified folder structure is now used across the program. Makes finding and keeping your data organized a breeze.
- Theme support: Images and positional theming. Status: Partial. Support has been added for basic theming, we just are working on finalising the theme structure before finishing off the data hookup. The idea is that theming should be accessible to everyone. You dont't have to learn a language (XAML, XML, CSS, etc) to be able to create a theme. Themes will be written in JSON, which is accessible to everyone, regardless of experience.
- Improvements to the Standard View: I decided to remove the ugly box that shows behind a game when the mouse is over it, as it's clear what game you are on due to the mouse cursor anyway. I added a nice fade in/out animation instead, and I think it adds to the clean presentation of the UI. You can see this in the preview video linked at the top of this post.
- Tons of other bug fixes, improvements and error handling/warnings. The idea is that GameEnd doesn't leave you in the dark. If you're trying to do something and something is preventing it from working, GameEnd will let you know, in laymans terms, what is wrong.
As before, here are some new Q/A's.
So, when can I test this elusive beta?
Soon! I've had some problems with my chronic pain condition that have made progress sporadic. Hard to give estimates due to the nature of my illness. I'm hoping I can get this into the masses hands in a few weeks.
However, I am going to run a limited testing group for the pre-public beta, for any members registered on the Forums*or*Slack channel.
This isn't a ploy to get you to sign-up, it will just be easier on me (support and stress wise) to fix bugs and help people initially when there is a smaller pool of people to work with. It also allows me to catch any major bugs before the masses start using it.
If you don't want to sign up, that's fine. You'll still get the beta, just when it's ready for wider public consumption.
I also don't want to release this too early (to the masses). First impressions are important, and I want it to at least have moderate feature parity with existing Frontends before unleashing it into the world.
What's with the poor quality visuals in the video?
Currently I'm stuck with terrible DSL with 0.4mbps upload speeds. So I had to record the video at a lower quality than I would have liked.
I am supposed to be getting fiber broadband (100mb apparently) soon, so hopefully I can crank up the quality settings for future videos.
Who made those cool platform videos and where can I get them?
The theme and platform videos were created by the talented nyny77. He is currently the official graphics and video artist on the team.
They are not available for download yet (seems pointless). The videos will be able to be downloaded directly from within GameEnd itself, via the click of a button. I decided to use this method to keep the GameEnd download size small, for people who don't want to use platform videos.
Who's currently part of the team?
Currently just me (programming) and NyNy77 (graphics, videos). I'm sure that once we release the beta and release the source code, the team will grow substantially. Naturally depending on the popularity of the program.
Anything I can do to help?
Signing up on our*Forums*and the*Slack channel*is very beneficial to the project. It allows me to get feedback on WIP items as I develop them, and also will give you access to the first pre-public beta. Feedback is valuable and I value any time you spend with me on either the forums or slack discussing GameEnd.
I can't promise that i'll implement every suggestion, but I will consider any and all ideas.
I would also love some help with getting a consolidated list of command line arguments for various Emulators. Especially for the less commonly used ones. If you want to help with this, please do so via the forums or slack channel that I linked above.
Do you accept code contributions?
Not at the moment. But the code will be released when the program launches. When that day comes, I will gladly accept code contributions.
Why do you want me to join Slack or your Forums to become a pre-public beta tester?
Slack is an IM (instant messaging) application that allows realtime chat between members. Having the ability to discuss any issues you have when testing in real time is a huge timesaver and a much better form of communication than email say, for this specific use case.
If you do not wish to join Slack, then our Forums is the other option. The forums, whilst not being realtime like Slack, is powered by Invision Power Board, which is a powerful Forum software. It allows feedback and issues to be consolidated in one place, and for me to reply to specific users. Our Forums also support TapaTalk, which allows easy Forum access via your phone/tablet.
Thank you for reading, and I am looking forward to hearing your feedback as always. Keep on truckin'!

Of course, I'll also be posting updates right here on EmuTalk :)

Multi System
the multi system emulator has been updated, now to 0.9.43
Notable changes since 0.9.42:
PSX: Reduced DualShock rumble latency by 1 frame.
SS: Added multitap emulation, enableable via settings "ss.input.sport1.multitap" and "ss.input.sport2.multitap".
SS: Added steering wheel emulation(for "Virtua Racing", and other racing games that lack 3D Pad analog support).
SS: Added Mission Stick and Dual Mission Stick emulation.
SS: Added 101-key US keyboard emulation.
SS: Fixed hang in "F1 Challenge".
SS: Fixed missing voice acting and related hangs in "Magic Knight Rayearth".
Reworked how input grabbing is handled. The new way uses only one key combo(CTRL+SHIFT+Menu), and will adapt its behavior based on any keyboards being selected on any virtual input ports or not(refer to the documentation for full details). A new setting is added, "command.toggle_grab", and two settings were removed, "command.toggle_grab_input" and "command.toggle_cidisable".
Emulated keyboard(FKB, Tsushin, Saturn) key state is now only updated when input grabbing is toggled on.

RPCS3 Progress Report: February 2017
Posted by
Comments: 0
has posted its progress report for this month, and its been quite a big month for this emulator, here's a snipit:
February 2017 was one of the most eventful months in RPCS3 history. Earlier this month we reached the first Patreon goal of $500, thus ensuring that Nekotekina can continue to work on RPCS3 full time for the time being. A total of 17 authors have pushed 127 commits to the master branch, with 9882 lines of coded added and 6575 lines of code deleted. This represents several hundred, if not thousands hours of work on the project, and it really shows.
In this progress report we will take a look at what each person has been working on for the past month, and highlight some of the more noteworthy changes. This is however far from a complete list of contributions and improvements. Several people in the community have tested hundreds of games, reported several issues, made YouTube videos and supported people on Discord. Nekotekina, kd-11, and the rest of the RPCS3 team would like to thank everyone for their contributions to the project.
The talented graphics developer kd-11 made great changes this month fixing a lot of graphical issues in several games. With fixes to RTT shader access Catherine went from a half screen mess to looking perfect with Vulkan and DirectX 12. Several other games were also fixed with this commit such as Turbo Super Stunt Squad and Bakugan Battle Brawlers. Moreover Eternal Sonata's main menu isn't black anymore.
kd-11 also implemented the BRB opcode improving a lot of games such as Yakuza 1 & 2 HD, One Piece: Pirate Warriors, Hellboy: The Science of Evil, Saint Seiya Brave Soldiers and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Specifically Yakuza 1 & 2 HD went from only a black screen to going ingame and running quite well:

A new version of
released today, now at 1.7.2
Heres whats changed:
# Cemu detailed changelog for 1.7.2c
# Patreon release date: 2017-02-16
# Public release date: 2017-02-23
# New in 1.7.2c:
GX2: Fixed a bug in GX2SwapScanBuffers() that could cause the GPU command stream to get corrupted
# New in 1.7.2b:
coreinit: Fixed a crash bug in coreinit initialization code
# New in 1.7.2:
general: Reorganized menu options for better clarity (Some debug option stuff wasn't really for debugging)
general: Added option to choose fullscreen scaling mode (stretch to screen or keep aspect ratio)
general: Default and recommended value for CPU timer option is now 'Host based'
PPC: Thread emulation is now using Fibers. Technically speaking, this change was made to simplify context switching within HLE functions. It allows certain API to behave more similar to the real Cafe OS.
coreinit: Fixed a bug that caused MEMGetAllocatableSizeForExpHeapEx() to return negative values under certain circumstances
coreinit: Fixed a crash bug in MPRunTasksFromTaskQ()
coreinit: Added API MPDequeTask(), MPWaitTaskQWithTimeout(), MPRunTask()
coreinit: Fixed rare deadlock in alarm handler
VPAD: Fixed fullscreen touch input for non-16:9 displays
GX2: Fixed that under certain circumstances GX2WaitTimeStamp() could return immediately due to the low accuracy of the internally used timer (affected only 'Host based timer')
GX2: Added support for texture format R16_G16_B16_A16_SNORM
GX2: Added support for sampler2DRect textures
GX2: Unsupported instructions in a GS Copyshader will no longer cause a crash
GX2: Fixed texelFetch() accessing textures upside-down if ARB_clip_control is used
GX2: Adjusted handling of vsync and flip event to decrease latency
GX2: Optimized texture encoding & decoding
GX2: Optimized frequently used GX2 API
GX2: Optimized various parts of the GPU command processor
GX2: Fixed incorrect mapping of GS->PS attributes if gl_FragCoord is used
GX2: Fixed handling of GS input primitive LINE_STRIP
