Psychosis and the Arts: Conference
12 Feb, 14 | by Deborah Bowman

First Call for Papers
'Troubling Narratives: Identity Matters'
The Institute for Research in Citizenship and Applied Human Sciences, University of Huddersfield, Thursday 19th and Friday 20th of June 2014.
Confirmed keynote speakers for the conference are:
Ann Phoenix, University of London
Ken Plummer, University of Essex
This conference builds on the University of Huddersfield's long held tradition of hosting a bi-annual conference on narrative research. It seeks to provide a fresh context for the development and dissemination of new research, ideas, perspectives and methodologies in the field of narrative research and enquiry and aims to bring together scholars working in a range of disciplinary fields. 'Narrative' is well known for its looseness of definition, its multiplicity of approaches and its interdisciplinarity, which over the years has led to a richness and diversity of narrative work. Identities, both private and public and individual and collective, have long been a focus for narrative researchers, where the content, form and effects of identity story-telling have been explored in a range of areas and contexts. The focus of 'Troubling Narratives: Identity Matters' is to address the 'troubles' that now surround contemporary narratives of identity, and the ways in which previous work may simultaneously inform but also trouble and be 'troubled' by new narrative work in the broad area of 'identities'.
The conference invites contributions from researchers interested in using narratives across a range of disciplines including, sociology, gender studies, psychology, law, politics, criminology, philosophy, history, anthropology, social work, education, and business and management. Topics of interest to this conference include (though are not restricted to) the following areas:
Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words. Papers may be in the form of 20 minute oral presentations, and also workshop sessions and poster presentations (the format should be clearly stated in the abstract). All submissions must include the author/speaker(s) name, title of paper, university or organizational affiliation, and contact information. The deadline for submission of abstract is Monday 3rd February 2014. Please email your abstract to the conference organisers at: firstname.lastname@example.com with 'conference abstract' in the subject line. You will be notified about whether your paper has been accepted soon after Monday 10th March 2014.
The conference registration deadline is 5th June 2014. Conference costs are: Full rate: £150 to include conference dinner, or £110 excluding dinner. Student rate: £50 to include conference dinner, or £30 excluding dinner.

An International Interdisciplinary Conference
Newcastle and Northumbria Universities
3rd – 5th July 2014
Keynote speakers include:
Professor Helen Deutsch, 'Diseases of Writing'
University of California, Los Angeles
Author of Resemblance and Disgrace: Alexander Pope and the Deformation of Culture
Dr David Shuttleton, 'The Fashioning of Fashionable Diseases in the Eighteenth Century'
University of Glasgow
Author of Smallpox and the Literary Imagination
Between 1660 and 1832 books such as Cheyne's English Malady and Adair's Essays on Fashionable Diseases created a substantial debate on the relationship between fashion and sickness, linking melancholy, the vapours, nervousness, gout, consumption and many other conditions with the elite and superior sensibility. This conference aims to include voices from both within the social and medical elite and beyond, and to look at diseases that have not previously been examined in this context and at what can be learned from 'unfashionable' illnesses. It also aims to consider not only diseases associated with social prestige, but also with the medical critique of fashionable luxurious lifestyles, and the debate on 'imaginary' diseases. The role of culture in creating, framing and spreading conceptions of fashionable disease will also be considered.
Proposals for papers and three-person panels are welcome on topics related to fashionable diseases, including:
We are also keen to receive proposals offering interdisciplinary and internationally comparative perspectives, or relating eighteenth-century to contemporary fashionable diseases.
Please submit abstracts (max. 250 words) and a brief biography (max 100 words) to email@example.com by 28 February 2014 http://fashionablediseases.info/

The third international interdisciplinary conference* on comics and
medicine will continue to explore the intersection of sequential
visual arts and medicine. This year we will highlight perspectives
that are often under-represented in graphic narratives, such as
depictions of the Outsider or Other in the context of issues such as
barriers to healthcare, the stigma of mental illness and disability,
and the silent burden of caretaking.

Activating Theatre: people participating, performing politics
A practice-based symposium examining how theatre and performance work to change people and society
Tuesday 6 March 2012, Stage@leeds Building, University of Leeds
9 Dec, 11 | by James Poskett
Conferences can be somewhat dry affairs. Papers delivered as long droning monologues are liable to send even the most hardened academics into a dreary stupor. The more enticing discussions can also take their toll as the days wear on, debate often returning to ancient disputes. So what better way to break up the day and keep everyone fresh than with an outing to the cinema?
At the recent Communicating Reproduction conference we were all sent to see Helga (1967). Of course, this outing wasn't frivolous but rather an opportunity for us to engage with the substance of the conference: the history of reproduction through communication including text, images, film and sound.

Who are the big names in the history of child psychology? Anna Freud? Melanie Klein? John Bowlby? Certainly. But, according to Professor Sally Shuttleworth, in order to locate the origins of child psychology, we have to look to nineteenth-century literature, to authors such as George Eliot and Charles Dickens.
This is just one of the historical titbits to come out of the recent Stories of Psychology conference, ran by the British Psychological Society at the Wellcome Trust. In her paper, entitled Studying the Child in the Nineteenth Century, Shuttleworth argued that the emerging genre of the nineteenth-century novel was the first to take the psychological world of the child seriously. Whilst previous works may have dealt with comings of age, novels such as Dickens's Dombey and Son began to investigate the psychological world of the child in its own right, particularly within the context of education. (In the novel, Dombey's son has difficultly socialising and is sent to a number of medical and educational establishments in order to rectify this shortcoming.)
Shuttleworth believes that such literary explorations were picked up by the psychologists and educationalists of the time, citing as evidence the way in which psychological theories were put to use in debates over compulsory education.

The contribution of the medium of comics (referred to in the plural to denote both the physical printed object and the attendant philosophy) to medical discourse has begun, over the past few of years, to be explored by academics interested in illness narrative, patient experience and healthcare education. Autobiographical comics and graphic novels authored by artists who have experienced trauma or illness can be rich sources of patient narrative, opening a window into the world of others' suffering or healthcare experience. more…

Lambrecht (Lambert) Duppijns of Haarlem, an Anabaptist martyr, was beheaded on 2 June 1539 at Haarlem, in the Dutch province of North Holland. Duppijns was arrested in his own house on 23 May with his wife and a few other Anabaptists. When the house was searched about 500 copies of unbound books by David Joris were found and confiscated. On 24 May Duppijns was tried; he refused to admit the stay of David Joris at his house. Thereupon the officials took recourse to a trick. Adriaen Adriaensz, an Anabaptist who had recanted, was imprisoned with Duppijns, pretending to Duppijns that he was still a loyal member. So the officials learned the secret. On 28 May Duppijns was tortured a second time. Duppijns, who was a native of the bishopric of Münster, Westphalia, Germany, was a David-Jorist, as were his wife and the whole company meeting in his house.

Antioxidants for eye health
A landmark study published in the British medical journal BMC Ophthalmology, indicates that a combination of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent AMD-related vision loss. Participants in the study were taking a supplement called TOZAL Eye Health Formula that is rich in the vision-boosting nutrients. But packing your diet with antioxidant- and omega-3-rich foods (ground flax is vegan-friendly) can also help ward off eye-related disease, such as macular degeneration.
Eating for vital vision
In the new book The Essential Guide to Healthy Healing Foods(Alpha, July 2011), authors Victoria Shanta Retelny, RD, LDN, and Jovanka JoAnn Millivojevic promote dark leafy greens for vision health. Dark leafies are a nutrient-packed source of the eye-protecting antioxidants, more specifically caretenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. "Like fairy dust, these caretenoids deposit in the macula of your eyes and give them color (pigment)," explain the authors. "Macular pigment helps fend off [age-related macular degeneration]; it helps harmful wavelengths of light, thus reducing free-radical damage in the central retina."
Vegan foods for eye health
According to Retelny and Milivojevic these are the best foods to ward off vision problems:
Though these dark leafy greens are excellent sources of vision-boosting antioxidants, eat a wide variety of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables for your eye health. The more antioxidants you consume, the better chances you have of warding off major chronic illnesses, such as cancer and heart disease.

Moving forward, I'll change into someone who's more careful in many alternativefacets at all times, and shouldeffectively use authentic products only.

ETL ListedWhy We Love Floor Fans
Conveniently portable from room to room and home to home, the floor fan holds to its air circulating roots while adapting to an uprooted lifestyle--unlike its more stationary cousins, the ceiling fan or the wall fan. And gone are the days of the white plastic floor fan--now there are fun designs to choose from, including handsome restoration style fans, outdoor floor fans for the patio and even ones that look like they just stepped out of a tropical paradise.
Where Floor Fans & Pedestal Fans Work Best
Thanks to their portability, these pedestal floor fans are versatile and can be moved to any room of the house. You can take a floor fan anywhere, from the living room to the bedroom. Similar to the portability of a floor lamp or table lamp, these fans can move from space to space with little effort and simply need an electrical outlet to be powered. Some floor fans can even go outside on the patio, keeping things cool when you are relaxing in your favorite patio chair. That's the beauty of the floor fan - unlike a ceiling fan - their portability and new style range means they're not married to one location so they can accommodate any cooling or air circulation need no matter the room.
Fitting Floor Fans Into Your Style
The decorative nature of these floor fans allow them to work well with almost any interior design style. While they primarily appeal to an industrial and restoration look, you'll find these floor fans complement modern light fixtures and home furnishings quite well. Fanimation offers a number of well-designed options that have tropical features, restoration style and more. Savoy House offers a multi-speed floor fan and if it's a popping, colorful design you need, look to the selection from Stadler Form. In any space, you'll appreciate the character any of these floor fans will bring.
Choosing the Best Floor Fan
Unlike a ceiling fan, choosing a floor fan is relatively easy because of the fan's portability. However, you will still want to keep its size in mind and properly understand how much air the fan will be able to move. For larger rooms that have more stuffy air to move, you'll need a bigger option and conversely, in smaller spaces like breakfast nooks and home offices, a more petite fan will get the job done. Look to our information on airflow efficiency to understand how a fan is rated on its air movement. And if it is a patio floor fan you need, you'll need to confirm it is UL listed for wet and damp locations, ensuring it is safe for outdoor use. If you have any questions about the floor fans featured here, please call our fan experts at 877.445.4486.
Other Great Options
If you are loving the convenience of a floor fan, check out the selection of table fans for a similar amount of portability and versatility. The ability to have a mobile fan on the go anytime you need will help keep you cool at all times. And if it is a portable light fixture you need, be sure to see our assortment of table lamps and floor lamps for options that are ready to move anytime you are.

"If you attack everything else in life with the same conviction you did your deployment, you'll have it made in life."
Captain Corey Wise
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Albert Camus
"When you are dispirited, held back, beat down and you have no one,you can give up, give in, or you can find those things you need to stand within yourself.If no one else believes in you, then you must believe in yourself.If you can not get the love you need from others, you must make room in your heart and give that love to yourself.You must accept yourself exactly as you are, all your flaws, all your faults, all your dreams."
Jill Anzinger

Major camera manufacturers are announcing new products today, the timing intended to sync with the start of the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week in Las Vegas, Nevada.
While Dpreview will cover all major camera announcements, we'll also work to highlight those most interesting to mobile photographers here at Connect.
One of those we're most looking forward to getting our hands on is the Canon PowerShot N: Canon's most connected compact camera to date.
Canon promises one-touch Wi-Fi connectivity on the PowerShot N to make it easier to upload images and video to your smartphone and the Internet. To extend its capability beyond that of a smartphone, the N has a 28-224mm equivalent lens and a 12MP CMOS sensor that works with a Digic 5 processor. The N can also shoot 1080p video at 30 frames per second. In addition, it offers a mode that creates multiple alternative versions of your image, so you get the shot you wanted plus the camera's recommended crops and processing effects, leaving you with a choice of which to upload.
Read more about the Canon PowerShot N on Dpreview, and see our hands-on first impressions.

Tax time is a great time of year to do a lot of fun things (except commit tax evasion…definitely not a good time to commit tax evasion). It's a great time to buy some new pencils, brush up on current tax laws and spend a little quality time with a few of your favorite receipts from the past year.
It also happens to be a great time to break up with debt!
Now, you're likely thinking, "My debt is way bigger than my tax refund is going to be!" Well, that's probably quite true, but breaking up with debt doesn't mean becoming instantly debt-free; it means breaking free from the bad financial habits and circumstances that have kept you locked in a destructive relationship. It means making the changes necessary to find a better path for yourself.
And tax time is absolutely a great time to start making those changes! Consider this:
But what about you? What are your big plans for this year's return? Are you reducing debt? Building savings? Buying a hovercraft??? We love to hear from you! Leave us a comment below and have a happy tax season!
Thank you for a great post. This is definitely a good time to get budgeting. What are some excellent budgeting software packages that aren't too expensive or complicated out there? I think having a template would be a big help to those of us who hate budgeting.
I am interested in meeting with a professional who can look at my overall financial situation and help me chart a course to improve the situation. Is there a Money Management professional advisor/counselor within 200 miles of Idabel, Ok 74740, who can help?

Viewing the domain groups that are used to get into SQL
Last week Linchi Shea wrote a posted a blog entry entitled "How does that AD user account get access to the database?". In it Linchi shows a method of finding out the domain groups that a SQL Server user uses to access the database.
There is however an easier, method you can use.
There is a system extended stored procedure called xp_logininfo. Microsoft was even kind enough to document the procedure for us. You can use this procedure to see what group a use belongs to, or what users are in a domain group, all from T/SQL.
For example, on my sandbox instance if I run
EXEC xp_logininfo 'CORP\dcherry'
I get a result set which says that I gained my access to the SQL Server via the "BUILTIN\Administrators" group.
This is a nice quick and easy method to see what domain group a user used to access the SQL Server.

Ant - JUnit Integration
JUnit is the commonly used unit testing framework for Java-based developments. It is easy to use and easy to extend. There are a number of JUnit extensions available. If you are unfamiliar with JUnit, you should download it from www.junit.org and read its manual.
This chapter shows how to execute JUnit tests using Ant. Ant makes it straight forward through the JUnit task.
The attributes of the JUnit task are presented below:
Properties | Description |
dir | Where to invoke the VM from. This is ignored when fork is disabled. |
jvm | Command used to invoke the JVM. This is ignored when fork is disabled. |
fork | Runs the test in a separate JVM |
errorproperty | The name of the property to set if there is a JUnit error |
failureproperty | The name of the property to set if there is a JUnit failure |
haltonerror | Stops execution when a test error occurs |
haltonfailure | Stops execution when a failure occurs |
printsummary | Advises Ant to display simple statistics for each test |
showoutput | Advises Ant to send the output to its logs and formatters |
tempdir | Path to the temporary file that Ant will use |
timeout | Exits the tests that take longer to run than this setting (in milliseconds). |
Let us continue the theme of the Hello World Fax web application and add a JUnit target.
The following example shows a simple JUnit test execution:
<target name="unittest"> <junit haltonfailure="true" printsummary="true"> <test name="com.tutorialspoint.UtilsTest"/> </junit> </target>
This example shows the execution of JUnit on the com.tutorialspoint.UtilsTest junit class. Running the above code produces the following output:
test: [echo] Testing the application [junit] Running com.tutorialspoint.UtilsTest [junit] Tests run: 12, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 16.2 sec BUILD PASSED

First we took the cat out of the bag - actually it was a assembly set for a wind up plane - the kind you get in a Hobby ideas store. I have always been sceptical of something that claims it can fly - but then this time, I gave into curiosity and picked it up.
And here were on a holiday morning trying to assemble it. Two curious pairs of eyes were looking as we opened the box, laid out the components and spread out the instruction sheet. One was pounding me with ideas and giving me suggestions even as I was trying to get it right. "Will it do this", "Will it do that" he asked. "Hey, the pack says, it can do a hover and come back to your hand" And here I was trying to get the plane
assembled right, without breaking any of the rather flimsy looking parts.
Finally, the assembly happened. The first trial flight was a miserable one with the plane not even taking off. A few more winds (about 200 of them) and tried - no change - the damn thing would not take off. Disappointment on the little faces around was perceptible. And then, one more shot of winding it and throwing it the air (who knows, it may not take off, but glide through the air on its own power) - and it flew very
well. The tiny, flimsy aeroplane that will go down in history as our first flying model flew.
And then he said, "I want to do it myself". "But how will I count to two hundred and keep winding? I seem to lose count"
"Keep winding till it looks like noodles and then it will all knot up"
And then I get a call in the afternoon, "Appa, I managed to fly all by myself..."
Yup, someday you will fly all by yourself...
(Postscript: The story is about a year old. The damn model broke after a few tries and the customer service experience after that from Pidilite/Hobby Ideas has been extremely pathetic - despite multiple conversations and visits to stores. I finally gave up on it after a few months. So, my advice to anybody reading this post is - dont buy those models - they are too fragile and are a waste of your money. You will spend more time consoling your child after the model is broken and irrecoverable than the momentary enjoyment of the flight!)

Human rights in Serbia
This article's lead section may not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (May 2012) |
Human rights in Serbia are generally respected by the government; however, there have been controversies regarding a number of issues, including police brutality and some violations of human rights, but such incidents are usually isolated and not related to government.
Human rights in the past[edit]
In the past, particularly during breakup of Yugoslavia there had been some violations of human rights but in much smaller scale than in other parts of Yugoslavia. During the Kosovo war there had been violations both by KLA, and by Serb forces.
Asylum seekers[edit]
Serbia has a UN facility at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport for applicants for asylum in accordance with international policies.
After the conflict, in fear of their safety, perhaps up to 250,000 Serbs and other ethnic minorities fled their homes to go north.[1]
Vojvodina has been in 2003 and 2004 identified by Human Rights Watch and the European Parliament as region experiencing human rights violation, and a marked increase in ethnic violence since the national elections of 2003. After thoroughly investigating these allegations, and taking into account the long history of ethnic conflict in the Balkans, the European Parliament in September 2005, unanimously passed a resolution summarised on the Europa website as: "In its resolution on Vojvodina, adopted with 88 votes in favour, none against and 2 abstentions, Parliament expresses its deep concern at the repeated breaches of human rights and the lack of law and order in that province."[2]
In 2005, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe "regreted that Serbia applies double standards in artificially separating the Romanians of Vojvodina from the Romanians of Eastern Serbia".[3] Since 2004 they are regular clashes between the Serbian authorities and the Romanian community in Timok when Bojan Aleksandrović, a Romanian Orthodox priest decided to build Romanian Orthodox Church, Malajnica where he holds services in Romanian. The priest has been subjected to threats. In Negotin, the Romanian Cultural Association was vandalized in 2004 when Serbian pro-fascist ultra-nationalists wrote "Out of Serbia" on the windows of the main doors.[4][5] In 2002 census, there appears to be 34,576 declared as Romanians, and 40,054 declared as Vlachs.
The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia drew attention to the situation of the Romanian people living in Timok, and to their right to preserve their Romanian identity.[6][7]

Create a text file in the root of your project's Assets folder: Code (csharp): Your Project/Assets/us.rsp With the following: Code (csharp): -pragmas:strict,downcast Voila! No more implicit variable declaration bugs without needing to #pragma every script. Note that this includes the Editor/ compilation pass; if you play fast and loose with dynamic typing in editor scripts this may create more hassle than it resolves. Thanks to Rodrigo for the tip!
Why would you want it for C#? That's a nice trick Matthew. As a joke, I was thinking of coming in here and saying, "Yup, that's easy to do: switch to C# "
You can add a file called smcs.rsp to the Assets/ folder. The content of the file will be added as arguments to the compiler. Do a 'smcs -help' to get all the options. Compiler bat location: <InstallDir>\Unity\Editor\Data\Mono\bin\smcs.bat If you add '-define:MyDefine' to smcs.rsp, MyDefine will be a global define for all C# scripts.
@kjems, that is awesome. I never knew about that. It appears that once you set something in the smcs.rsp file then remove it the define is still present. Do you know if there is some way to clear the cache or wherever it is storing the define?
Changes to the smcs.rsp will not trigger the automatic refresh of the AssetDatabase as scripts and other assets do.
JFYI - I just tried this in Unity 3.3 and smcs.rsp did not seem to work. However, I changed to gmcs.rsp (gmcs being the newer compiler, I think) and it works great! =D
What does the pragma downcast do? I use the #pragma strict in every javascript, so was curious if I should use downcast too. Gigiwoo
Sorry for double-posting; just realised that my last post was entirely unclear. I am also trying to set project-wide #defines for C#. I am on Unity 3.4 and have tried creating gmcs.rsp, smcs.rsp, and even mcs.rsp under the Assets folder of a project, but none of these seem to be read. I've tried "-define:TEST_DEFINE" and "/define:TEST_DEFINE". Just wondering whether anybody else had come across this since upgrading to 3.4 or if I'm just doing it wrong... TIA.
I tried the smcs.rsp on Unity 3.4 and it works fine. The one thing to remember is that you should make sure to save your affected files even if there are no changes to the file. This is because Unity will not re-compile your code unless the Saved Date is different. Examle: if I write "-define:TEST_DEFINE" in smcs.rsp and I add #if TEST_DEFINE ....Some Code.... #endif in code and save, it will work. if then I change the smcs.rsp file to say "-define:TEST_DEFINE_2" and run Unity it will still run the "....Some Code...." because the code in the define was previously compiled and Unity did not detect a change in the code file, so it did not bother to re-compile it. Once you re-save your code file (just press the save button or CTRL-S), Unity will re-compile the code correctly according to the new Defines in smcs.rsp. I hope this helps.
I got global defines running for C# using gmcs.rsp and Unity 3.4, thanks for the tip! Is there also a way to pass a define argument to the Boo compiler?
I can not get this to work, and I am not a coder, but I am trying to get this sorted myself.... I am using Unity 3.4. In my Assets folder I have the file: smcs.rsp with the following code inside: Code (csharp): -pragmas:strict,downcast However when I quit and restart unity to get the scripts to recompile I get this errors: Internal compiler error. See the console log for more information. output was:error CS2007: Unrecognized command-line option: `-pragmas:strict,downcast' Basically what I am trying to do is open an old project in 3.4 and I learn't that I need to disable Dynamic typing? So I found this solution which I can not get to work for the life of me. Also I tried the other solution where I put #pragma strict after the vars but before the function start () example below: Code (csharp): private var noOfZaps : int; #pragma strict function Start() { gibbing = false; When I do that I get these errors: Assets/02Scripts/GameManager.js(57,27): BCE0043: Unexpected token: ;. and Assets/02Scripts/GameManager.js(59,7): UCE0001: ';' expected. Insert a semicolon at the end. It is annoying when I an not a coder but I am trying to get this working all help would be very greatful! Thanks
Only if you're doing iOS/Android. Otherwise switch to web/Mac/PC publishing. (And you needed to do that for iOS/Android before Unity 3.4 anyway, the difference is that now it applies when scripts are compiled, instead of when you build the project.) --Eric
Sorry I should of been more clear, it is an iOS game. I added "var" in front of each of the errors and it seemed to fix them. Again this is all guess work as I am not a coder hahaha So what would I need to do to incorporate that anyway for the iOS game to fix the old project? I read somewhere that iOS games in 3.4 automatically use #pragma strict is this true? and if so then those errors I had before need to be fixed another way? It is kinda annoying since the game worked perfect before but I needed to do an updated build to support OF 2.xx I have the OLD Xcode project which worked like a dream and now with xCode 4.xx it does not even load it crashes after the splash screen. So this is why I am trying to update the actual project. Thanks.
Just as a warning: This no longer works in Unity 3.5 While it works in the editor, the builds will simply lose the defines
I think dreamora might've hit some kind of caching issue - it works fine for me. I'm on Unity Free 3.5.2f on Mac OS X Lion. I created a simple test project, with the following script: Code (csharp): using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; [RequireComponent (typeof (Renderer))] public class PreprocessorTest : MonoBehaviour { void Start () { Color color = Color.red; #if MAKE_PURPLE color.b = 1f; #endif renderer.material.color = color; } } I put the following in smcs.rsp (note: I'm on Mac, and I could not get gmcs.rsp to work): Code (csharp): -define:MAKE_PURPLE I attached that script to a Cube in the scene, and started the editor. It worked fine. I then did a "PC and Mac Standalone" build for Mac OS X, "Development Build" disabled, and ran it - it turned purple as expected. dreamora: Maybe you need to delete Library/ScriptAssemblies or just re-save the files that you use your defines it. I'm guessing it probably had cached the compilation?
Note that it will gmcs.rsp or smcs.rsp based on wether you selected .Net 2.0 or .Net 2.0 Subset in the player settings: .Net 2.0 Subset: smcs.rsp .Net 2.0: gmcs.rsp Also, changing these files will not trigger a recompile. You will have to change one of your script files after editing the rsp to make the changes apply.
I found this useful so I figured I'd share this here. http://buchhofer.com/2011/11/unity-per-project-compiler-options-unsafe/ It goes into a bit more detail about the discussions between smcs.rsp and gmcs.rsp. More specifically: "More info: different compilers are used based on the language and chosen .NET profile. The subset and web profiles use smcs, the full profile uses gmcs, unityscript uses us, and boo uses booc."
Hey Guys, I put a little example togeather to better illustrate how this works for another thread. I thought I may as well re-post it here as well. http://slipstreamgame.com/shares/DefineExample.rar
With the very handy "Global Define Wizard" script provided by Prime[31], I found that if (in the wizard) I disabled a define that I'd previously added it would not be picked up until something else caused a re-load of the script using the define. To solve this I moved these two lines in the save() routine: Code (csharp): AssetDatabase.Refresh(); reimportSomethingToForceRecompile(); to the end of the save() routine. If you know you changed something, hit save. Job done.
What about EditorUserBuildSettings.activeScriptCompilationDefines ? Can it not be added / removed from there?
If anyone is still looking at this, seems like Unity4 has a fix. http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentati...ttings.SetScriptingDefineSymbolsForGroup.html Also changes can be done via the PlayerSettings inspector. *EDIT* The format is DEFINE1;DEFINE2. Make sure you don't repeat a define multiple times because the Unity build process will throw a duplicate key exception. And as ToxicBakery said below, you do have to hit enter if you're using the player inspector.
Big thankyou to kjems and chsu for these tips! This used to be one of my biggest headaches with Unity. Just fyi in C# kjems' tip still works in 4.0 "-define:CUSTOM_DEFINE" in smcs.rsp Even better though, it's great to finally see official support as chsu mentioned. Here's how you get to it in the IDE: Edit > Project Settings > Player > Other Settings (It's a text field labeled "Scripting Define Symbols")... One very minor nuance to that text field, (in this version) simply clicking away does not apply your define, you have to actually press enter after typing.
We are improving the documentation on Custom Defines, and it's important to update these threads with the correct way of using them in the current versions of Unity. If you want to modify only global defines, you should use Scripting Define Symbols in Player Settings, because this will cover all the compilers. If you choose the .rsp files instead, you'll have to provide one file for every compiler Unity uses, and you won't know when one or another compiler is used. To do this you must add a text file with the extra directives to the "Assets/" folder: [table="width: 500"] [tr] [td]C#[/td] [td]<Project Path>/Assets/smcs.rsp[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]C# - Editor Scripts[/td] [td]<Project Path>/Assets/gmcs.rsp[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]UnityScript[/td] [td]<Project Path>/Assets/us.rsp[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Boo[/td] [td]<Project Path>/Assets/boo.rsp[/td] [/tr] [/table] As an example, if you include the single line "-define:UNITY_DEBUG" in your smcs.rsp file the define UNITY_DEBUG will exist as a global define for C# scripts, except for Editor scripts. Every time you make changes to .rsp files you will need to recompile for them to be effective. You can do this by updating or reimporting a single script (.js, .cs or .boo) file. All this information is being added to our documentation.
Will this also allow me to override the reference to an assembly? I have an assembly that I want to include, but I want it to use an alias so I need to define -r:<Alias>=<my assembly>.
Hey guys, in Unity FOUR, is there a way to add a disable directive: #pragma warning disable 414 project wide? Truly appreciated .. Fattie !
Hey is it possible to "bundle" defines in the smcp.rsp? I'd like to have something like -define:MOBILE (UNITY_ANDROID || UNITY_IPHONE ) ! UNITY_EDITOR But that's not working... I get an Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path. This would be a great help for e.g. if we want to add more mobile platforms later on like UNITY_METRO etc. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
You could instead add platform-dependent defines, as explained in the docs now (search for "Platform Custom Defines").

Purple, Yellow, White
16 comments:
I started out with good intentions to keep just a few colors, unfortunately--I have NO restraint. I love the soothing colors in your front garden. Mine is a wild jumble. Sigh. The only color NOT permitted is orange---which I don't hate, but I just don't like it clashing with all my pink stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really lovely. The colors and plants both compliment one another. Nice job.
Cher Sunray GardensSomeday, I think I will be weeding out colors that don't match up well. .right now I just plant what I find. .without a lot of rhyme or reason!! I had to laugh about you pulling out 2 pink blooms. .and I thought I had OCD!! HA
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms. I love the purple lining your driveway, is that Russian sage? It all looks so inviting and it's wonderful seeing complimentary colors together.
FlowerLadyRepliesThe driveway is lined with a salvia. A hardy one too. It will bloom until our frost and the bees and butterflies love it!
The Russian Sage is in front of the house between windows to the left of the front door. You can't really see it in this post and it is not blooming yet, but it's sure growing!!!
Which salvia is lining the driveway? That's beautiful - and I had mistaken it for larkspur, based on the growth pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love you idea of purple and yellow, I put pink and yellow. Could not find any pink the right hieght for the flower beds beside my walk. I have bought 5 diferent salvias finally I have one that humming birds love and the bloom looks like a flower with a defferance. Darla I have an all orange bed I found a rose the color of orange juice.Vacoom. The salvia I found is Mystic Spires Blue.

Fun little game. The random cloud level can make for some frustrating and nearly impossible escape attempts.
Got stuck on the cloud level, kept getting to places where there was NO good path, couldn't play anything after that level.
I liked it, the random clouds made it impossible at times but at the 10th attempt i won that level. I liked the chasing level after that. It was fun but it lacks a lot. The jump noise kept beeping randomly even when i was not jumping.
The running level was a bit too easy; I won by holding the up arrow and the right arrow.
Woah the cloud level should have been a boss level!
Committed to play it past the first level I had to try about 20 times :P
Neat game. I wish the controls were a little more smooth though. I don't have the patience at the moment to get through that cloud level. I'll try another day.
Aw, no timelapse. I love my timelapses.
Cool game. Frustrating first level. Man that was frustrating. I suck at games overall, but that was a hard one. But cool cloud jumper. Gave me the thrills.
Nice concept with the different mini games backing up a main story. Also cool programmer art. Though the main map could looked a bit more horrifying.
And yeah, a pain in the ass to play on Mac, but that's said to be a common case.
Neat game with potential, but needs some more playtesting. The clouds level was painful, the random generation just didn't seem to want to work 9/10 times. The running level also need obstacles that you could hit while jumping. Aside from that, I think you've laid down a solid foundation for a game.
the running game is difficult on the beginning if you can't take a good start, it need balancing. The cloud level was ok, fun to play.

Masa Paper
The mountains here have already had a frost or two and our temps have dipped into the 40s at night all last week, but this weekend we have another 'summer reprieve' as we're expecting temps in the mid 70s to 80sF! It should be one glorious weekend!
We're planning a somewhat quiet weekend with a visit with the grands and an arts an crafts festival nearby and perhaps a drive into the countryside ...
This painting was done mostly from imagination and an earlier wet-in-wet project I tried on watercolor paper. I wanted to change the colors and add the textures of masa so played with these methods last weekend.
I'm off to do chores and hope everyone has a terrific day!

Lin this is beautiful. I saw this and was so attracted to it, then I looked to see who did it and low and behold it was my old Studio buddy. I do hope you and yours are doing well. It think of you often, Elizabeth

I LOVE this masa landscape. The crinkled texture is perfect for this. Great color and design.
I am up in Maine where it is nice and sunny and cool. It felt good to snuggle under blankets last night.
Have a great weekend. - 08 October, 2010

Lovely colors and texture Lin. I love the deepness to the trees and foreground. I taught painting on Masa to my students at NAMI yesterday (among other paper decorating) and they loved it. We were just making backgrounds but one lady got started right away and made a lovely beach scene! So we can't cut that one up!

Great job Lin! I took a Cheng Khee Chee workshop years ago where we learned this technique. You did really well with it. Hope all is good with you.

Bookmark Kinja Deals and follow us on Twitter to never miss a deal. Commerce Content is independent of Editorial and Advertising, and if you buy something through our posts, we may get a small share of the sale. Click here to learn more, and don't forget to sign up for our email newsletter.Top Deals Amazon Fire HD 10, $150 with code FIRE10 If you want a tablet to basically use as a portable TV (that's basically what my iPad is at this point), a big screen is important, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal right now than a refurbished Fire HD 10 for just $150 today (with code FIRE10), the best price we've ever seen. Advertisement Advertisement It's not as fast as an iPad, it doesn't have as many apps as a standard Android tablet, and its 1280x800 screen is far from spectacular. But if you just want to binge on Westworld while you cook dinner, it's tough to beat an internet-connected 10" screen for this price.Refurbished Fire tablets carry the same 1-year warranty as brand new models, so I wouldn't let that scare you off. Just be sure to use code FIRE10, and note that supplies are very limited. Vega Gold Box Continuing a string of deals that can help with your new year's resolutions, Amazon's offering a Gold Box deal today on a variety of Vega's excellent plant-based protein powder and bars. A quick spot check shows prices running about 30-40% less than you'd pay at GNC, so this is a great chance to stock your cabinets on the cheap. Just remember that like all Gold Box deals, these prices are only available today, or until sold out. Amazon eTextbook Sale Amazon's one-day eTextbook sale might sound like it's only for students, but education never stops, and the sale is full of titles that anyone could learn a thing or two from.In addition to legitimate medical textbooks and the like, you'll find titles for just a few bucks that teach you Raspberry Pi programming, Lean Six Sigma, or even the origin stories of successful startups. It's a lot to sort through, but the sidebar on the left side of the page can show you titles just in the areas your interested in. Now get to class. DJI Mavic Pro Fly More Bundle, $1200 DJI's Mavic Pro is shockingly smart, totally portable...and nearly impossible to find. But B&H has it up for preorder today as part of a $1200 bundle, with limited quantities. That's $200 more than the MSRP of the drone by itself, but it includes a carrying bag, a car charger, extra propellors, and most importantly, two spare batteries. DJI charges $1300 for the same bundle, so this qualifies as the first deal we've seen on the drone that everyone seems to want. Plus, you'll only pay sales tax in New York. Instant Pot IP-DUO80, $129 If you don't own a pressure cooker, today's a great day to fix that, as Amazon's knocked the highly-rated Instant Pot IP-DUO80 down to an all-time low $129 today. We've seen cheaper Instant Pots in the past, but if you're cooking for a large family, this 8 quart model is the biggest you can buy. If you're worried that you won't get a ton of use out of this thing, note that in addition to standard pressure cooking, this is also our readers' favorite slow cooker, and one of their favorite rice cookers too. To put a fine point on it: It's one of the most versatile kitchen gadgets you can own. Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set, $190 Still using the $10 pots and pans you bought at Walmart freshman year of college? Do yourself a favor and upgrade to this complete tri-ply set from Cuisinart for just $190, an all-time low.If you aren't familiar with tri-ply cookware, it basically sandwiches a layer of aluminum inside the outer stainless steel layers, resulting in a pan that's durable, induction-compatible, oven safe, and still quick to heat up.https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MCP-12N-Multiclad-Stainless-12-Piece/dp/B009JXPS6U/ref=sr_1_560?s=home-garden&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1483999283&sr=1-560&refinements=p_8%3A2229033011%2Cp_85%3A2470955011&th=1&kinja_price=190 4-Pack 1000 Lumen BR30 Flood Light Bulbs, $14 with code 2EUMND8E Deals on standard A19 LED light bulbs are a dime a dozen these days, but we don't see as many good discounts on LED BR30 flood light bulbs, so stock up and stop wasting energy with your recessed lighting fixtures.Just note that these aren't dimmable, which is par for the course at this price point. The VAVA Voom 20 has everything you could want from a mid-sized Bluetooth speaker: Passive subwoofers, dual 8W drivers, USB power output, IPX5 splash resistance, NFC...shall I go on?For a limited time, you can save $24 on the speaker with promo code OXCBRQMO, the best deal we've ever seen. Just don't wake the neighbors. Aukey Waterproof Phone Case, $4 with code AUKEY399 If you're planning any tropical getaways this winter, this $4 dry bag will keep your phone safe from surf and sand alike, and even allow you to use it as an underwater camera, if you're feeling daring. Plus, its built-in arm strap means it can double as a running band for the rest of the year. Swiss Army Man is the best movie ever made about a farting corpse, and in fact, one of the best movies of 2016, including those not centered on farting corpses. Own it on Blu-ray and digital for $10. Hisense 55" 4K Smart TV, $500 Hisense isn't the most well known TV company out there, but they're generally well respected, and it's tough to find much fault with a 55" 4K smart TV with HDR processing for $500. This is the entry level model of the company's 2016 lineup, and its black levels are apparently a step or two behind its more expensive brethren, but this price is one of the best we've seen for any 55" 4K/HDR TV. Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection, $30 $30 for three remastered Assassin's Creed games is a much better use of your money than going to the Assassin's Creed movie. That's an all-time low, so I suggest going on a fetch quest to Amazon to buy it. And if you missed out on the most recent full entry in the series, the excellent Assassin's Creed Syndicate is also on sale for $10 on PS4 and Xbox One. D-Link Powerline AV2 2000 Gigabit Passthrough Starter Kit, $100 Get the most out of your internet with this powerline adapter starter kit. This model has the latest AV2 MIMO 2000 technology and Gigabit connectivity, an integrated passthrough socket, power save mode, and a built-in noise filter. Mpow Solar Light, $16 with code MOH5CBPI | 2-Pack, $30 with code QQTH72MC | 4-Pack, $57 with code HKF48AG8 Without any wiring to futz with, Mpow's solar-powered, motion-sensing spotlights are the easiest way to illuminate your front porch or lawn, and you can get one for $16 today, or buy more and save. Just be sure to note the promo codes in each case. LifeSpan TR3000e Treadmill, $999 | LifeSpan TR1200-DT5 Treadmill Desk, $999 Whether you want to stay fit and active while you're working, or are in the market for a high-end treadmill for running at home, a pair of one-day LifeSpan deals are just what the doctor ordered.First up, you can save $300 off the typical price for the LifeSpan TR1200-DT5 treadmill desk, which can reach blistering speeds of up to 4 MPH, and includes a built-in 1100 square inch workspace for your computer. Sitting is killing you, after all. If you're in the market for a more traditional treadmill, the TR3000e is also marked down to $999, or about $500 less than usual. This one includes a fold-up design to save space, 15 levels of incline, and even some nice creature comforts like a USB charging port and built-in fan. In both cases, these prices are only available today, so run over to Amazon to lock in your order. UNO Super Mario Game, $6 If Pokemon Go taught us anything, it's that you can slap some Nintendo IP onto an existing game, and turn it into a hit. Let's see if it works for UNO. Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale The Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale has basically any kind of home fragrances, soap, and skin care you could need, at prices that are worth the ridiculous packaging. $11 3-wick candles, $3 foaming soaps, 50% off specialty skin care, and more. Plus, use the code F165207 and get $10 and order over $40. Philips HF3520, $109 | HF3500, $58 If you still haven't upgraded your morning routine with a life-changing wake-up light, Amazon's discounting a couple different models today. For starters, the high-end HF3520 is down to $109. This model features five different wake-up sounds, an FM radio, the ability to set two different alarms, and a color-shifting light that accurately mimics a sunrise. The entry-level HF3500 is also on sale for $58. This one doesn't include a radio, and it only beeps—no natural wake-up sounds here—but the light works just as well as the other models, and that's what matters most. 8-Pack AmazonBasics AA Rechargeable Batteries, $16 If your Eneloop AA collection isn't quite as big as it could be, you can supplement it with an 8-pack of AmazonBasics high capacity AAs for $16 today.That's an all-time low price, and $3 less than the equivalent Eneloop pack. And if you believe some reviewers, these may actually be rebranded Eneloops themselves. We can't verify that claim (though like Eneloops, they were produced in Japan and pre-charged with solar energy, which seems really specific to be a coincidence), but whatever their origin, they have great reviews, and a stellar price tag. Withings Body Cardio, $73 The last two months were a treacherous time for your waistline, and I'm not just talking about election night stress-eating and binge drinking. That's where the Withings Body Cardio comes in. Advertisement Sponsored The Withings Body Cardio Wi-Fi Scale looks like any other bathroom scale at first glance, but it can automatically sync your vitals to your phone (including Apple's HealthKit), track your indoor air quality (what?!), and even measure your heart rate.The Cardio model almost never gets below $100, and $73 is easily an all-time low. It's currently backordered (unsurprisingly), but you should still be able to order it, if you hurry. TP-Link AC1200 Gigabit Wireless Wi-Fi Router, $60 If you're in the market for a router that's a million times better than the one the cable company doles out when you sign up for internet, this one may be your answer. The TP-Link AC1200 boasts dual band 1200Mbps WiFi for all your gaming and internetting needs for only $60. Aukey HDTV Amplified Antenna, $15 All of a sudden, it's 2017 and the Super Bowl is a few weeks away. If you don't have cable, but are looking for a cheap and easy alternative to streaming the game, how about this $15 amplified antenna?If you've tried an unamplified HDTV antenna (like the standard Mohu Leaf), but can't quite pull in every channel you want, this leaf-style model includes a USB-powered amp that should add a few miles of range. This one from Aukey is just $15, which is one of the best prices we've ever seen on an amplified antenna. Rowenta DW5197, $65 A good deal on a clothing iron probably isn't the most exciting thing we've ever posted, but everyone should own one, and you could do a lot worse than this 4.4 star-rated Rowenta. It's been cheaper on a few occasions, but $65 is still a solid discount from its usual $80. Donner Smartphone Lapel Microphone, $8 You probably won't need this smartphone-compatible lapel mic very often, but at $8, it might be a good tool to have handy for shooting videos or recording voice memos on your phone. Tile is the ultimate device for anyone who can't stop losing her things, and a single Tile is back down to its best price ever of $25. If you aren't familiar, you just slide this thing into your wallet, keep it in your car, stick it in your luggage...anything you frequently misplace, and the Tile app on your phone can ping them over Bluetooth and cause them to beep until you find what you're looking for. And if your lost item is outside of your phone's Bluetooth range, it'll show up on a map automatically any time another Tile user comes into range.Today's $25 deal on the Tile Slim is $5 less than usual, and a match for Black Friday if you missed out last month. Luxe Bidet Neo 120, $32 A lot of people are reflexively appalled by the idea of a bidet, which makes no sense, because they're amazing. Today on Amazon, you can score a Luxe Bidet Neo 120 that will work with just about any toilet for just $32. That's nothing for a product you'll use just about every day, and it's particularly good for a model with a self-cleaning and retracting nozzle, let alone one with over 4,000 reviews. This deal could sell out any time though, so purchase or get off the pot. AUKEY USB Charger with USB C Port, $20 with code AUKUSBC5 Back down to its lowest price ever, this handy $20 wall charger from Aukey not only features four USB ports, but has an added USB-C port as well. You'll be able to charge all your devices at once without fiddling with any special adapters. No one likes to fiddle. Plus, it supports everyone's favorite Quick Charge capability. Mpow Streambot Bluetooth Receiver, $12 with code HVDAKAQJ With this $12 Mpow Streambot Bluetooth receiver, you can turn everything from your dusty old iHome to your legacy home theater system into a Bluetooth speaker. Just plug in the AUX jack, connect up to two devices, and start streaming.

I do (all Turbo Lites are automatics, by the way) and I didn't see any real difference in fuel economy since adding Stage 1. What I did notice was the additional 60HP and tire smoke. If your line of thought is a quest for good fuel economy, then any kind of turbo PT is probably not the way to go.
I can still get 24mpg on the freeway, but that's doing 80~90mph on a pretty darn hilly stretch of the 15 freeway between Corona and San Diego, round trip. I'm sure if I was driving across some flat state at 65mph I could probably get 27~28mpg. A mixed tank (city & freeway driving) usually nets me around 19mpg. As for power, I was unimpressed with the basic 180HP but I had no intentions of keeping it that way - Stage 1 was in the plan when I bought the car. It's a 2004 Platinum Series you see, so it has a gorgeous two-tone interior that prompts many people to ask me if it's custom. With the addition of Stage 1 the car now runs a mid/low 14 second 1/4 mile [8)][8)] |
I have the turbo lite and just love it. I did replace the air filter with a drop in K&N and just put on a Fowmaster duel exhaust. I can jump on the interstate and be at speed before I get into traffic. I can pass on a two lane road without worries and certainly can climb up any mountain pass here in Washington State without slowing down. I have 7,000 miles on it and my mileage has consistently been hovering at 21-22 mpg.
2005 Inferno Red Limited seeing way too much fun on the road ahead. |
Re: TURBO LITE??
I just got my first PT, awsome car. I have the convertable 2006 with the lite turbo. I have averaged 24mpg on combined driving. I traded in a jeep that got 8 to 12 mpg so I'm very happy. The Jeep was a 4.7 liter and I think the pt would outrun it. My only question is to myself: why didn't I get a PT long ago....lol
Re: TURBO LITE??
Welcome, Mike.
Better late than never! The hardest part with the turbo is keeping my foot out of it ...

Re: TURBO LITE??
You're supposed to keep your foot out of it?????
Heck that's the fun of it - blowing away much much more expencive rides. OK, so I'm 58 and should set an example. Guess all I can say is "second childhood" LOL |
Re: TURBO LITE??
Same here! I'm 60 and on my second PT Turbo. The first one was an '04 Lite and my current is the GT. Both turbos work great and what I miss about my lite was that I could use regular gas. However, the GT can keep with with a Dodge Magnum Hemi till 100 MPH. I was the guy on the Dodge's bumper. You should have seen his face.
Re: TURBO LITE??
OK, Guys! Gotcha beat! I'm 64 and I am on my second Turbo HO. Got one of the first GT's made and then sold it in 2005 to a fellow in Phoenix, through eBay. Now I have a 2005 GT ragtop. The car is so much fun to drive, and my wife drives it herself most of the time.
Here is our secret: Since she drives the GT ragtop most of the time, when we are out together and I put my foot into it, she screams.........with glee! She never did that when we rode in my 300M or in my '88 Maxima when I "put my foot into it"..... Guess since she drives the GT too, the jollys come regardless of who is at the wheel. I wonder how she drives the car when she is alone???? Besides, she seldom screams anymore (when we are doing anything else).......if you know what I mean! Soooo, enjoy the ride!!!! My words, not hers.....

Re: TURBO LITE??
I have both the lite and GT turbos. The lite gets worse mileage but that is partially because my wife drives it locally and I get more freeway miles. I like the responsiveness of the lite off the line. However, I notice the missing power on the hills.

Can't start them young enough, Garry. :-)
He is quite nifty on a computer too...he'll be blogging by next year!
