Udev Rule to Suspend System
The udev rule could be edited to run a script that does polls the battery's capacity at regular interval when it's status changes to Discharging:
## SLEEP IF BATTERY IS LOW SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{status}=="Discharging",
ATTR{capacity}=="2", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl suspendRUN+="/script/to/poll/battery/and/suspend/system.sh"
There may also be a uevent that fires when the battery reaches an alarm state (when /sys/class/power_supply/BAT*/alarm is reached or changes). I have not tested this on my own system yet or figured out just how that file works yet. Ego.abyssi (talk) 23:32, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Strange, on my system battery sends "change" uevent each time battery is charged or discharged by 1%, so rule works perfectly and polling is an overcomplication.
- --Eruditorum (talk) 06:48, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm... Well, if it works for you, then it must be something peculiar with my specific system. In which case, yes, polling would be a needless complication. I'll have to give it a look and see what the dillyo is. Ego.abyssi (talk) 05:58, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
RUN+="<command>" won't work reliably
In the example:
# Suspend the system when battery level drops to 2% SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{status}=="Discharging", ATTR{capacity}=="2", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl suspend"
RUN ... Starting daemons or other long running processes is not appropriate for udev; the forked processes, detached or not, will be unconditionally killed after the event handling has finished.
There's no garantee that systemctl will finish execution. Its possible to use
ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="systemd-suspend.service" but I have not personally tested this. All these udev rules should be reworked to trigger one-shot systemd services ideally, which also brings along all the benefits of have systemd units (logging, debugging, etc).

ArtsWatch: Christopher Dodd Goes To Hollywood
The Recording Academy actively represents the music community on such issues as intellectual property rights, music piracy, archiving and preservation, and censorship concerns. In pursuing its commitment to addressing these and other issues, The Recording Academy undertakes a variety of national initiatives. ArtsWatch is a key part of an agenda aimed at raising public awareness of and support for the rights of artists. To become more involved, visit Advocacy Action @ GRAMMY.com and sign up for Advocacy Action E-lerts.
On March 1 the MPAA announced that former Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd will begin as chairman and CEO on March 17. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Dodd identified digital piracy and access to foreign markets as his main two issues and looked forward to working with studios' leadership to find unified approaches to these and other challenges. Dodd said, "I like the people. I love the issues. I think the digital threat issue is not just a limited issue for the film industry. It is one that cuts across intellectual property. We've got to deal with it. I think market access is going to be a huge issue and challenging. So to be involved in a great set of issues with great people, involved in a great industry, it doesn't get any better than that." With demonstrated expertise as a consensus builder, a strong background in foreign relations, and valuable experience with family and children's issues, Dodd seems a good fit for a job that could benefit the entire entertainment industry, U.S. exports and employment.
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative released the Special 301 Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets on Feb. 28, listing 33 prominent worst offenders — in both online and physical markets — and encouraging foreign governments to take effective action. USTR Ron Kirk said, "These notorious markets not only hurt American workers and businesses, but are threats to entrepreneurs and industries around the world." Prominent Internet sites in the report include China's leading search engine Baidu, Sweden's the Pirate Bay and Russian successors to the once-popular Allofmp3.com that rushed to fill its place after it was shut down. RIAA Executive VP of International Neil Turkewitz said, "At present, the overwhelming majority of music downloads are illegal. Governments can effectively promote innovation and competition in both the communications and intellectual property sectors by enhancing responsibility and accountability in the online space, and we hope that this report will help to enhance this accountability.... For new legal online services to succeed, we must ensure that such services do not face unfair competition from unauthorized sources."
On March 1 the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition, and the Internet conducted an oversight hearing with testimony from Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator Victoria A. Espinel. Exemplifying bipartisan consensus on the importance of IP enforcement, members were eager to receive two upcoming reports from Espinel — the first U.S. government estimate of IP jobs and exports, and a white paper recommending areas where new legislation could improve enforcement. Commenting on the wide-ranging and vigorous questions, Copyright Alliance Executive Director Sandra Aistars said, "[The] discussion signaled that the lawmakers tasked with oversight on this subcommittee have a full grasp of the range of challenges faced by the creative community and other IP-dependent industries."
Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) is on the campaign trail for the secure Web HTTP protocol — HTTPS. In a Feb. 28 letter, Schumer called on Amazon, Twitter and Yahoo to make HTTPS the automatic first option on their websites to better protect users. During a Feb. 27 press event at a New York coffee shop, the senator explained that the growing number of public locations offering patrons Wi-Fi connections to the Internet combined with the availability of programs such as Firesheep, which allow unsophisticated users to hack WiFi networks, means urgent action is called for to prevent casual Wi-Fi users from falling victim to identity theft. Schumer said, "It is scary how easy it is. Free Wi-Fi networks provide hackers, identity thieves and spammers alike with a smorgasbord of opportunities to steal private user information like passwords, usernames and credit card information."
On March 2 IFPI announced a collaboration between the City of London Police Economic Crime Directorate, MasterCard and Visa to crack down expeditiously on illegal Internet sites wrongfully using credit card payment services for copyright infringement. The services and participating banks are now using newly developed best practices, and details of 24 infringing websites have already been turned over to London police under this program. MasterCard Worldwide Chief Franchise Development Officer Eileen Simon said, "A coalition approach such as this will enable us to prevent our system from being used to carry out this illegal activity and will help protect the livelihoods of artists, legal rights holders and legitimate e-commerce merchants selling properly licensed material."
The Federal Court of Australia on Feb. 25 rejected the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft's appeal of a court decision last year that had denied the organization's claims against Internet service provider iiNet for copyright infringement on its network. Although unhappy with the loss, AFACT called attention to statements in the ruling that could be useful in future litigation. "While we did not prevail due to the finding of the court on a narrow, technical issue, we did succeed in terms of the court finding in our favor across a range of key issues that we raised," said AFACT Executive Director Neil Gane.
Speaking on the future of copyright late last month at the Queensland University of Technology, World Intellectual Property Organization Director General Francis Gurry suggested new ways to intelligently engage with the advantage digital technology gives to free availability of cultural works. Gurry said, "We need to speak less in terms of piracy and more in terms of the threat to the financial viability of culture in the 21st century, because it is this which is at risk if we do not have an effective, properly balanced copyright policy."

Author Notes: "Aztec Two Step" popped into my head when I heard what this contest was called. Then I had to set about learning what Aztec Two Step refers to (I didn't know), and then follow the path of chocolate from the Aztecs to Spain, and then the rest of Europe, with an especially helpful stop in Italy.
I found an amazing video at www.gourmetsleuth.com, which shows two women from Oaxaca (now living in LA) making "Mexican Chocolate" from raw cacao beans into the dried disc used to make the chocolate drink whirred with a molinillo. Then Blue Corn and Chocolate, by Elisabeth Rozin, told the story of chocolate from the Aztec court of Montezuma to the modern chocolate bar.
Two Step? I wanted something like a terrine with two different layers, two different colors.. Somehow ricotta seemed like a fit, and a spicy cocoa rub for pork roast was reinvented to come closer to the pantry of pre-invasion Mexico and the recipe in my head..
Helpful resources: Budino di Ricotta from Ada Boni's Italian Regional Cooking; Cocoa Rub from the blog http://dailybreadjournal.blogspot.com/.
We loved the outcome, decided it was a coffee cake, and tried it warm, cool, and next day. Each is different, each is good. It is very moist at first, but the next day the moisture is redistributed and the texture much more firm. It has an endearing look, but it's not pretty. A sieving of confectioner's sugar, a spoon of barely sweetened vanilla whipped cream, sliced strawberries -- you can dress it up for looks and a bit of contrast, but the cake stands on its own.
My sources say that sugar was not used with cacao, and cinnamon was brought to Mexico by the Spaniards. Necessarily, liberties have been taken.
—susan g
Food52 Review: My tasters and I thought that this unusual gluten-free dish resembled a terrine more than an actual cake (it contains no leaveners or fat other than what is in the ricotta cheese). But whatever you call it, this dish is certainly delicious. The eggs and ricotta cheese give this "cake" a lovely, creamy texture with just enough structure to hold it together. We all loved the cinnamon-infused chunks of Ibarra chocolate and the peppery, floral spice rub, which gives the finished dish a subtle but flavorful kick. We enjoyed this dish right after baking, but it is even better the next day when the texture has firmed up a bit. Make sure that you butter your pan really well, so that the cake unmolds without breaking and drain the ricotta cheese before adding it to the beaten egg, so that the batter is not overly moist. —cookinginvictoria
Serves: 6 or more
"Aztec" Cocoa, Chile and Spice Blend
teaspoon black peppercorns
teaspoons whole coriander seeds
teaspoon whole allspice berries
tablespoons ground cinnamon
tablespoon salt
tablespoons cocoa powder
piece Ancho chile (dried, remove seeds)
Aztec Two Step Coffee Cake
tablespoons golden raisins
teaspoon espresso powder
zest of 1/2 medium organic orange
cup Demerara sugar
cup boiling water
tablespoon cornstarch
teaspoon vanilla extract
3.1 oz. disk of Ibarra Mexican Chocolate
tablespoon Demerara sugar
teaspoon Aztec spice blend (plus more for dusting)
large eggs
cups part skim ricotta (1 pound)
"Aztec" Cocoa, Chile and Spice Blend
- In a small cast iron pan on low heat, toast the peppercorns, coriander, allspice and chile. When they have darkened a bit and become fragrant, remove from heat and let them cool. Grind in an electric spice grinder/coffee grinder until powdered. A little bit of texture won't hurt.
- Measure the cinnamon, salt and cocoa into a small bowl, add the freshly ground spices and stir. Inhale deeply and enjoy it! (This makes much more than you will use.)
Aztec Two Step Coffee Cake
- In a small bowl, put raisins, espresso powder, orange zest, and 1/4 cup sugar, and pour the boiling water over it. Let it soak. Sprinkle the cornstarch over it and stir until smooth. Add vanilla.
- Turn the oven on to preheat to 375 degrees. Prepare a 1 quart loaf pan by "buttering" the bottom and sides very thoroughly with coconut oil (or butter). Take some of the spice blend you made and dust the pan so the buttered surfaces are covered with it.
- Break up the Ibarra disk along the markings. It is very dense! I found that deepening the groove with a serrated knife, then snapping it apart helped. Then it's not too hard to chop the pieces up (using a wooden bowl and chopper) to the size of chocolate chips. Use it all, chips and powder. Stir in the tablespoon of sugar and spice blend.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a wire whisk until they are light and foamy, about 8 minutes. Gently whisk in the ricotta, 1/3 at a time, and try not to deflate the eggs. Carefully pour in the raisins, etc., with all the liquid.
- Pour 2/3 of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a large spoon to try to keep the raisins evenly distributed. With a dry spoon, sprinkle the chocolate mixture evenly over the batter. Add the remaining batter. Dust the top with a few pinches of the spice mix. Put it in the oven, on a middle shelf.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and bake 15 minutes more. At this point the top will be browned and the edges will seem stable, but the middle will still look soft. You can leave it in the turned off oven where it will continue to cook and stabilize, about 15 minutes. It will have puffed up, but will deflate.
- When it has cooled, run a knife around the sides of the cake and pry a little to loosen the bottom. Remove it to an oval or rectangular platter. Garnish if you like, and serve in slices. It is delicate but its "body" is better the next day.
- NOTES: Instead of a loaf pan, use any 1 quart baking dish, but adjust the baking time -- the center will be softer. You can use whole milk ricotta, but we were happier with the outcome using part skim, and you can drain the ricotta for a firmer texture. Brown sugar can be used in place of Demerara. 1/4 cup of brewed espresso can be used in place of the instant powder and water. There is no substitute for the Mexican chocolate -- it has a unique texture that shines in this cake!

Gov. Rick Scott said Monday that the search for his new lieuteuant governor will be headed by chief of staff Adam Hollingsworth, and he emphasized it will be "internal" with no vetting by outsiders.
"We're starting the process now," Scott said, speaking to reporters at the Governor's Mansion.. "We'll take the right amount of time because we want to get the right person that would do a great job at this."
Scott said Hollingsworth will first develop the criteria for the ideal candidate. The post has been vacant since March 12 when Jennifer Carroll resigned.
The Sunshine State News reported last week that former Senate President Mike Haridopolos, who is now a lobbyist, was assisting in the vetting of LG hopefuls, but Scott would not confirm the accuracy of the report.
"The process is an internal process," Scott said. "It won't be done externally."
Scott also said he and the governors of Mississippi and Louisiana have signed a letter to the federal government asking for an immediate end to one-day weekly furloughs of about half of Florida National Guard members because of the federal budget cutting exercise known as sequestration.
"This should stop immediately. We want our National Guard ready in case of a disaster," Scott said.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote, in high spirits, about finding an NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement that matched perfectly with something I've thinking about doing. It was an R21 grant, which is a small 2 year award for novel, exploratory research. The little bit of funding would have covered someone on my team to try and do something new and fun with one of the tools we have at our disposal, and see if we could broaden its impact and predictive power. If it worked then we could apply for a larger R01 type grant and fund expansive and scalar development of this tool. If it didn't work, then no-harm, no-foul.
I called my dear friend and co-Scientopian, Dr. Becca, because I know she has been funded by this exact FOA and she encouraged me to apply, and even very generously shared her successful application with me so I could get a handle on the constraints such a small award carries (you only get 6 pages to explain how you'll take over the world).
I met with the professor who would be joint-PI on the grant with me (adding the clinical & professional clout we'd need to get on the NIH radar). She was super supportive and had some great ideas on how to focus down the project to make it very straightforward and predictive. She was aware of some other work in the general field and offered to make some phone-calls to check out the possible "competition".
This was a little over three weeks ago. The grant is due, in its completed form in our Office of Research Administration (the institute submits the grant for you) in 27 days time. I had 7 or 8 weeks bookmarked to work on this bloody thing and I haven't even jotted a note or drafted a budget.
I guess I still have time to rattle something out; 27 days isn't bad really, but there have been made on my time new and un-refusable demands that is making focusing on this personal project almost impossible. I run a core service unit – we are "contracted" (if you will) by faculty to perform their biomedical databasing and computing needs for their research (what a horribly clumsy sentence!). One of these projects has arisen and it is for a MONSTER of a project. It involves working on another grant ($4million/yr), due at approximately the same time my paltry little R21 ($120k/yr), and alas I'm having trouble multi-tasking with this.
I am not sure if I should just call my Program officer and tell her that we'll apply for the R21 next Spring when "things calm down". I guess one of the hardest parts of this "new" job is learning how to balance my time to fulfill contractual obligations with the prospective demands on my career development.
I'd appreciate input, especially from faculty readers. Am I being a wimp? Should I be doing both, or is prioritizing the big a more useful and productive measure?

Mr C
love the article, but you're underselling the technique in the opening paragraph:
"This benefit is void if we are just copying and pasting CSS code we don't understand. We may as well use a data URI instead."
css backgrounds scale on high ppi (retina) devices, whereas data uri jpeg/pngs don't.
developers can make good use of your background patterns, even without understanding how they work. of course it's better to know how things work and this article helps enormously, but even without, there are benefits to be found.
(aside: i guess an svg image as a data uri would also scale but i've yet to find a gallery of those as comprehensive as your pattern page)

WASHINGTON — An Alabama man said Thursday that his family was confronted by Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis at an airport in southeastern Virginia last month.
Michael Boyd, 52, of Birmingham said in a phone interview Thursday evening that the encounter took place at Norfolk International Airport on Aug. 4.
Boyd said Alexis confronted them from 40 yards away as they waited to board a flight because Alexis thought family members were laughing at him. They explained to him that they weren't.
"He was kind of bold, the way he came up on us," Boyd said.
Boyd said his first instinct was to fight but that he decided instead to call authorities. He said a security guard arrived but didn't really intervene.
Alexis continued to shout obscenities.
"He had the devil on him," Boyd said of Alexis.
Steven Sterling, director of operations at the airport, said that an incident report was filed, but it does not mention Alexis by name. He said there is no video of the confrontation.

Look at the BIOS parameters before boot, there should be an option to enable/disable the Usb EHCI (enhanced host control interface). As far as I understand it is enabled by default, but a previous user may have disabled it.You can obtain basic diagnostic information from the Windows event log, and since you have access to an oscilloscope you might want to try a tool for Usb electrical analysis (see http://www.usb.org/developers/tools/).
One thing to consider is what version USB ports do you have? I've had problems using my Leonardo on USB3.0 ports. I had to move it to a USB2.0 port to work correctly.

Custom Leather Hat Box measures approximately 14" x 16" x 9" with Yale brass locks and a "Beller" logo tag. The box is lined with purple satin fabric. The hat rests in a sized ring. The hinged box lid is also lined with a fabric panel attached to the lid with leather straps and brass snaps. Lifting the fabric panel reveals a certificate of authenticity from the John B. Stetson Company.
The parchment is mounted in a leather frame. Its reads,
"This certifies that Hat No. 7 in the Stetson Ermine Series "J" was manufactured from pure Ermine fur and pure Beaver fur exclusively by expert handcraftsmen in the factories of John B. Stetson Company Philadelphia. Only ten hats have been made in this series.
The Ermine tails attached hereto are from skins used in making these hats.
John B. Stetson Company"
The hat is made of black Ermine and Beaver fur. The stand (rise) of the hat is approximately 6" with a oval brim 14" from front to back. The brim has a tight "pencil" role upward. A black fabric band (ribbon) approximately 1/4" tall is secured around the hat in a single bow several inces wide. The hat has been worn but appears in "fine" condition. The leather sweatband is stamped with the Stetson trademark on one side in gold-colored ink. The opposite side of the sweatband is marked the the same gold color with the logo of "Jones Merc. Co.", "Canton's Big Dept. Store", "Canton, GA"
The buyer and original owner of the hat was my Great-Grandfather (maternal), Mr. Earl Woods of Alpharetta, GA. Born 1890? and died in 1956. Mr. Woods was a contractor in the metro Atlanta area during the 1940's and 50's. He was a tall, dapper man smartly dressed for the time who grew his own roses which were often worn on his suit's lapel.
Many of Mr. Woods hats as well as contractor's tools have been saved by the family, but this particular hat is a standout amongst the surviving possessions.
Any additional information regarding the Stetson Series "J" Hats would be appreciated.

I never got the chance to ask Grandmama Lillian SLEDGE what her father was like or to ask my mother if she ever told any stories about him. As you can see from his military grave registration, Papa Ben was a private in the Army. Aunt Edna said that he got shell shock as a result of the war. I have a Fold3 membership but there doesn't appear to be any records available for him there so I plan to order them from NARA. Who knows, maybe there is a picture of him on file. I was unable to find a marriage record for Ben and Lucy (online) who could have married anytime after 1910. A visit to the Noxubee County courthouse would have to be made to search on a marriage license, pending my arrival stateside. Unless my Macon family would like to help me out with that…hint, hint . Ben was Lucy's second husband (on the 1910 Noxubee County, Mississippi census she is listed as the wife of Lee QUINN and a Noxubee County marriage license was located for them…more on that when I get around to creating a profile page for her). It is possible that if Lee QUINN wasn't deceased (a death record search request for him is pending), she never divorced him (or did she?) and spent her life with Ben as a common-law wife. I'm optimistic that they were legally married however in genealogy, that has to be proven with documentation. Ben's occupations were as a laborer employed by Henry M. JONES in Macon, Mississippi; a baker and a farmer. The latter two he possibly worked at simultaneously and apparently he was working on his own account as an employer from 1920 up until 1930 when he was listed as being a farmer. Although his last occupation on his death certificate was given as a baker which ended the year of 1931. Perhaps he had stopped farming and continued as a baker but then stopped working altogether after 1931 due to illness? Ben died from a hemorrhage caused by piles. There was no indication of the duration for this illness on his death certificate because he had no doctor and in fact, no doctor was ever asked for. We can only speculate as to the why and how of his death with no attending physician: was there no doctor available at the time? Did he live too far away from a clinic or hospital where he could not travel because he lacked transportation or was not feeling up to the traveling? Did he not like doctors and was into curing himself with natural medicine? Or he knew his time had come and felt no doctor could help him? Whatever the case, I hope that he did not suffer.
12 August 2013 update: Cousin Alton CHANEY did some investigation of Papa Ben's military company on Google and came across two sources of information. One was Wikipedia and the other was the A3Genealogy (A3G) blog of a Kansas City, Missouri professional genealogist, Kathleen Brandt. She wrote about her discovery of a great-uncle who served in the 805th Pioneer Infantry nicknamed the "Bearcats". They were an all-Black infantry and coincidentally, Papa Ben also served with them in Company G (see the image of his military grave registration). Prompted by Kathleen's description of the book her great-uncle was mentioned in, I tracked it down on the website of Archive.org, an incredible powerhouse of FREE "universal access to all knowledge". Unfortunately, we did not find Papa Ben anywhere on the pages dedicated to Company G in this book, titled, "Victory: History of the 805th Pioneer Infantry American Expeditionary Forces". There is an explanation offered that might explain why only a small amount of soldier's names made it to print, "It is not the purpose of this history to make individual mention because space will not allow. Company 'G', since its inception, has been 'on top' all the way through. The men have been loyal to themselves, their officers, and non-commissioned officers, and their country, and they hold a place of high esteem in the eyes of their officers. They can return to civil life with a consciousness of a task well done and carry with them always the memories of their various careers as members of Company 'G', of the 805th Pioneer Infantry, the most efficient colored regiment in France" (page 136). I have put in a request for the retrieval of Papa Ben's military records from NARA through A3G. Meanwhile, I will continue reading the Victory book to see if Papa Ben's name appears. Stay tuned for another update provided that happens and/or his file is found!
2 September 2013 update: I have completed reading the book, Victory: History of the 805th Pioneer Infantry. I did not find Papa Ben's name mentioned anywhere, not even in the captions of pictures. Now I am waiting for the notification of any records that Kathleen Brandt of A3G found or did not find at NARA.
28 September 2013 update: I added a collage of three scanned images received from Kathleen via NARA and the transcription. See "1918-1919 WWI Final Payment Roll". This was the only thing found in Papa Ben's military file and does not indicate if he served overseas. It was nice to see that he was paid upon discharge. $82.50 in 1918 is equal to $1,277.80 in 2013 when adjusted for inflation (see the screen capture of the US Inflation Calculator). That was a lot of money back then. I am sure it must have came in handy for him and his family and I hope it lasted for a while.
17 February 2014 update: A 1918 "Local Military Report For Duty" has been added to Papa Ben's profile. His occupation is listed as a baker. His brother younger brother, Walter, was also a baker and called up for military duty at Camp Pike in Arkansas serving with and discharged from the 839th Company TC (TC=transportation corps?), while Papa Ben went to Camp Funston in Missouri. My thought is that they were possibly chosen for their culinary skills to work in the kitchen. Two other WWI documents located for Papa Ben and Walter were the "Statement Of Service Cards" and a 1917-1919 "Mississippi Veterans List" which have been transcribed below. I wonder how they felt being separated from each other during the war.

Anyone in favor of a new Unreal Tournament game?
With the Tech demo of Unreal Tech Engine 4 unveiled last year, fans of the Unreal Tournament series have speculated that Epic will be revealing a new Unreal Tournament game sometime in the near future. Some have speculated that Epic may announce a new Unreal Tournament game this year. Personally, I think it's a slim chance in hell that we'll be seeing another Unreal Tournament game at all. With the poor sales & lukewarm reception (mainly by fans, to be honest) of Unreal Tournament 3 in comparison to the Gears of War series, it's not hard to see why Epic would be put off of making another Unreal Tournament game in the future.
Even with a slim chance of an announcement, I'd have mixed feelings about another Unreal Tournament. On one hand, I have been a longtime fan of the UT series ever since back at the late 90s. Hell, I've bought and played not only the first one, but UT2003 and 2004, and I was one of the first that bought Unreal Tournament 3. And I am an old school fan, since the UT series still retains the old school arena style gameplay found in many multiplayer games back a decade or so age. However, on the other hand, when I played UT3 I saw a few problems with UT3. The biggest one was that when I sat down and played UT3 the first thought that came to my mind was "This feels like the same Unreal Tournament I have been playing for the past +8 years." IMHO the gameplay and weapons felt better, more polished, and tighter than in UT2004, but I couldn't help but feel that it was all the same. Even the weapons (well, most of them) were the same from the first Unreal Tournament! The gameplay modes were also mostly the same from past UT games (minus Assault, a fan favorite). Because of the "Same old" feel, after a couple of days of playing the hell out of UT3, I shelved it and found myself hard pressed to touch the game. So far, I've invested around 50 hours of gameplay time with UT3, but it's mostly experimenting with well done user made maps and mods from the community.
If another Unreal Tournament is in the works, I am hoping to see some new weapons and gameplay modes, basically some new and fresh ideas. If the next UT title still retains the same gameplay modes and weapons, I don't think I'll be picking it up. IMHO UT4 needs some new ideas.
What do you guys think? Does this old series deserve another sequel, or is it maybe time to lay the series to rest for good? And if you are in favor of a revival, would you favor some new ideas and new stuff, or keep it mostly unchanged?

I don't really fit in with the FPS world, really couldn't, but I adored UT classic and UT2K4, though I sucked so horribly I usually just played with bots. The games just worked. Even with bots, they were fast-paced, vicious, adrenaline-pumping all-out firestorms of intense kill-or-be-killed gaming. I was a noob then, and couldn't care less to get into the UT classic vs 2K4 internecine flame wars. I just loved both, and that's that.
Some years ago I heard about the existence of UT3. I was like "oh, damn, DO WANT," and then I heard no Assault (gods I loved that mode) and no Onslaught (which can be super frustrating but totally epic). And I saw screenshots and I felt like the graphics style was somehow worse. Darker...or something.
And I was like, meh, lost interest. Never played it, so couldn't really comment if all the flak it received [lol, flak, another glorious UT memory] is justified.
I'm not sure if a UT4 will ever really come into existence, or what kinds of new ideas are needed to let it compete in the modern arena, but I know I will always love the franchise and especially the fond memories of Assault mode.
(Though another, more personal memory would be the UT submarine CTF map, a truly inspired piece of map design)
One thing I really regret though is that I never really got into the modding scenes [I wasn't much of the tinkerer/"mess-maker" I am now] which were apparently huge. Huge enough that Epic ended up making a business of selling the engine to other developers, at least. Don't know how large UT3's modding scene is by now, or how dead.

FPS games have changed a lot since 2k4. I know there's a market for classic shooters, but I'm not sure it's big enough to draw people away from CoD and Halo, at least in the sense of making back money spent on development. Plus you have Planetside 2, and the upcoming Destiny. Plus whatever surprise comes in the near future.
I do miss bombing runs though. I wonder how busy those servers are all these years later.

At this point, at least if I was running the show at Epic, it'd be best to latch on UT4 to a full fledged commercial product as that game's Multiplayer Mode. And on the Multiplayer side of things, incorporate Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Assault, and a new multiplayer mode or two in addition. It'd make the perfect Multiplayer mode of a future installment of the Unreal Franchise, but at this point I doubt Epic will want to continue the Unreal franchise in the future. I sort of wouldn't mind if they would port the rest of the Gears series onto the PC, but since they are console exclusives at the moment......

As far as I'm concerned, UT2k4 is the best small-scale multi-player shooter ever, and if you ever go to a LAN party and it isn't there, you should immediately leave and never talk to the host ever again.
That said, LAN parties seem to be largely a thing of the past, as are rabid fanbases willing to shell out their own money to host their own servers, so perhaps it's best that UT remains in the past as a monument to the glory days of gaming, than to be re-invented for today's (or tomorrow's) gamers.
I could totally be wearing nostalgia goggles (ok, I almost assuredly am), but it's like multiplayer maps and game-modes have become worse and worse over the years, rather than better. Sometimes a thing is perfect. Sometimes it doesn't need changes. Sometimes, the best bet would be to just update graphics, and leave the gameplay itself alone.
There aren't any shooters today that really capture me. I tried PS 2, and honestly, I found PS 1 far more engaging, and would be surprised if there's much of anyone playing it by year's end. I just don't see these pseudo-mmo type of shooters really being successful, and a return to more tightly knit small scale-and personal-combat (and heck, there's no reason why it can't take place as part of a larger global affair I suppose), will hopefully happen with fun gametypes/maps before I lose my reflexes to old age completely. If I enjoyed drama, I'd probably already be making the popcorn for the impending Defiance release as well.
Anyways, I wouldn't want to see a new UT, because I suspect it would suck, and another sucky UT would do poor things to the shining image of UT2k4 I hold in memory.

UT2k4 is my personal favorite shooter of all time as well. It's the only game that I actually played seriously competitive and even played (and won) some tournaments at big LANs back in the days when 300+ people LANs where still a thing .
Maybe after Tribes, another classic, has been revived now, it really could be time for another UT as well. However, there would be certain changes that I think are needed to modernize the franchise:
1. business model: a "comebacker" such as UT that doesn't have the mass kiddie fanbase of a CoD behind it would have to go F2P + microtransactions, which is not inherently bad if they are merely cosmetical or for certain comforts - any sensible f2p mp fps developer will avoid a pay-to-win model as hell.
2. Nowadays, and I'm not any different here, people expect some kind of progression system like levels/ranks with small benefits and/or unlocks. Personally, I'd love to see something similar to the LoL rune/masteries system that only give small bonuses.
3. Can they make a new UT based on the new U4 engine accessible to more people than just those with a high-end PC? Battlefield could get away with it because it still had a huge fanbase but for UT that has been presumed dead for some time now it would need every possible player it can attract.
What I obviously wouldn't change is the general gameplay. Have (mostly) the same weapons, base the movement on 2k4 and I'd be happy

I still think progression unlocks in shooters would be better served if they concentrated more on looks, than power.
The seemingly eternal underestimation of the Barbie effect in online shooters is one of those business/design decisions that have baffled me for years (slightly related note-one reason I've largely lost interest in WvWvW in GW 2 is how impersonal it is), and I'm not sure how much I really believe the argument of the added strain to the game it would add as a reason shooters haven't gone that direction.
Sure, I loved the heck out of UT2k4, but even without real customization, it was still pretty personal as I always played on the same few servers, and largely recognized people by name.
I don't recall UT ever being a shooter franchise that required high-end hardware to play...in fact, I distinctly remember having to underclock my PC for 2003? because the game speed was far too fast otherwise.
I guess I'm not a big believer in the Cryisis philosophy, and don't think shooters are a genre that needs to be pushing the hardware envelope, especially with how graphics have largely plateaued recently.

UT 99 and 2004 were masterpieces, though quite different from each other in terms of how they play (mainly because of dodge jump) but I loved them both. UT3...I think this does a good job of explaining some of my thoughts:
Spoiler for size:
Well, I'm not quite as angry as him but points like the latency, bogged down color scheme, and essentially a step down in terms of movement scheme, I agree with. The movement was supposed to be similar to UT 99 but really it slowed the game down. You moved faster in 99'.
Well more the the topic, if they have a new UT, these are the things I'd want most:
1) Better netcode
2) Better movement scheme
3) More COLOR

With these problems widely criticized by the UT community, I hope that Epic will take these criticisms to heart with the next UT game (and at this point, that's a big if). But Epic have been a bit....arrogant with the UT3 debacle. Not only did they ignore these criticisms on their own forums, but they actively tried to blame the game's poor sales on piracy alone! In fact it felt like UT3 was given the back seat treatment in favor of the GOW series, putting much more focus and attention on their GOW series over UT3. And I wasn't alone in thinking this, since some people did insist that maybe Epic should have given the development of UT3 to another developer. Mark Rein insisted that had they done that, UT3 would have lost the heart and soul of what made the UT series so great. But when I compare UT3 to the previous installments, I felt that it did lost some of it's heart and soul.

I'm still a fan of the first Unreal so... maybe it's time for an Unreal 3!
But if you say UT... I liked 2004 the most. So yeah, I'm in favour of a new UT, as long they don't try put some random story into it like they did with UT3.
And it needs Skaarj!

Epic did state back at 2009 that they were shelving the Unreal series for awhile, but I wonder if that proposal still holds weight? There have been some considerably major changes in Epic since then, especially since last year. A few people of note have left Epic, a good portion of People Can Fly also left, Epic's longtime president Mike Capps has stepped down (He was to provide an 'advisory' role, but it had been revealed lately that he won't even be providing such role), and now I've read an article on a Chinese Internet company owning 40% of Epic.
Epic lost some key members and they are undergoing new management. Tencent now owns 40% of Epic. I guess whatever direction Epic goes will be under who calls the shots now. But I wonder if Tencent will be pressuring the company to go into a direction they want since they own a good portion of Epic? It's hard to know what will happen to this company or their IP. At this point, it's hard to know what will happen to the Unreal IP.

Liberty News
Night of firsts at new Tower Theater
Confetti fell from above and streamers burst out into the audience as Liberty University celebrated its first performance in the new Tower Theater Friday night.
It was also the first time a college theater department has performed the Broadway musical Hairspray and the first time it was performed in Central Virginia.
"This is a very special night for us. It is the beginning of a new adventure, the beginning of new events, the beginning of many lives being changed on this stage and in the audience," said Linda Nell Cooper, chair of Liberty's Theatre Arts Department.
|A reception was held in the Tilley Student Center.
The night began with a special reception for guests in the Tilley Student Center, followed by comments by Cooper and Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. and a ribbon cutting on the stage by Cooper, Falwell; Dr. Ron Godwin, vice chancellor; Dr. Boyd Rist, provost; Charles Spence, project manager; and Charles Piper of BCWH Architects.
Hairspray is set in 1962 Baltimore, where teenager Tracy Turnblad dreams of being on a live television broadcast where she can dance and sing her way to the top.
Just over a year ago, the theater only existed as plans on paper and the space it now occupies was used for storage. But Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. saw an opportunity to make better use of the space, and soon he was taking Liberty's Theatre Arts Department to the top — literally. The space already had an 85-foot tall tower, which proved perfect for the complex fly tower and rigging system needed in Broadway-style performances.
The project broke ground in October 2009.
|Students rehearse for the first time Tuesday night in the new Tower Theater.
Theater students no longer have to work under cramped conditions in a renovated lecture hall that seats 250. The new theater seats 640. Friday night's performance drew a full crowd.
Cooper said when she went backstage at intermission, her students told her, "Mrs. Cooper, we can't believe what that applause sounds like on that stage."
Of the 152 theater majors at Liberty, 75 are involved in the production.
Senior Sarah Seaman, who plays Turnblad, said the first performance was one of the best moments of her life.
"The energy was high, everybody was excited. … It's an honor to be the first on the stage," she said.
Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. said the students did a "phenomenal job." "The theater adds a lot to it, but their talent is just off the charts. I was very impressed."
Hairspray was the perfect show to kick off the season, Cooper said. In the playbill she writes: "My desire for this inaugural show is for it to be a celebration; a celebration of where we once were and where we are now, a celebration of our past and our future, a celebration of our students and their desire to follow God's leading in their life and in their art."
Falwell said there is no doubt the new Tower Theater will take Liberty University drama to a new level.
"Our motto has always been, if it is Christian, it should be better. Now Liberty has a theater that lives up to the motto."

CLERMONT, Fla. - On its first day of spring break in sunny Florida, the MIT softball team fell to Slippery Rock College, 3-0 and Carthage College, 14-3. The Engineers are now 2-2 for the season.
The game against Slippery Rock started off slow, with the score remaining tied at 0-0 until the bottom off the third inning when Katie Saluga doubled, allowing Taylor Welch and Megan Maloney to score, giving the Rock a 2-0 advantage. At the top of the fourth, freshman Alexandra Marshall (Glen Head, N.Y.) made it to first when she was hit by the pitch and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.), but the Rock's two runs went unanswered when freshman Tori Jensen (Holliston, Mass.) flied out to left field, ending their run.
At the top of the fifth, senior Anna Christensen (Vernon Hills, Ill.) singled and advanced to third after sophomore Kelly Wang (La Canada, Calif.) made it to first and senior Leah Alpert (Needham, Mass.) grounded out to catcher. Christensen and Wang were left on base at the end of the inning, though, after two more outs. Slippery Rock scored again, giving the Rock a 3-0 lead over the Engineers that held until the end of the game.
In the second game of the day, Carthage, who was ranked No. 15 in the latest National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll, got an early lead when four players scored at the top of the first inning. By the bottom of the fifth, the Lady Reds were leading, 9-0, but the Engineers soon got on the board. Wang walked and then advanced to third on sophomore K.K. Wopat's (Edwardsville, Ill.) double. Burgess singled, allowing Wang to score and Wopat to advance to third, giving MIT their first run of the game. Wopat was able to score on Marshall's single and Burgess soon followed when Fodor was out at first, giving them three runs by the end of the inning.
At the top of the sixth, Carthage added four more runs to their score, giving them a 14-3 lead. In the bottom of the sixth, Jensen singled and Christensen reached first on a fielder's choice. Wang followed with a single and Christensen was out at second and Wopat was out at first, ending the game.
The Engineers return to action tomorrow when they face Luther College at 1:00 p.m. and Indiana Tech at 3:00 p.m.

The attempt by State Rep. Rocky Miller to change the way E. coli is measured at Missouri's state park beaches, and how state park beaches are closed, has taken an interesting path this legislative session.
The attempt by State Rep. Rocky Miller to change the way E. coli is measured at Missouri's state park beaches, and how state park beaches are closed, has taken an interesting path this legislative session.
As of Wednesday, several days after the legislative session ended, Miller was still unsure of the fate of his bill. With Memorial Day weekend fast approaching, and with recent rains, there is concern the DNR will be forced to close the lake's public beaches if E. coli tests are unfavorable.
The original bill ― House Bill 51 ― was well received early in the session. Rep. Diane Franklin was co-sponsor of the bill, which eventually became part of HB 881 and in the Senate.
The E. coli/beach closure language then became part of HB 650, a Department of Natural Resources bill loaded with language unfavorable to Gov. Jay Nixon. He spread the word he planned to veto the DNR bill.
"We scrambled to find a vehicle for the language and did a Herculean task to attach it to HB 28," Miller explained. "We got it through the Senate and to the House and voted its approval with 15 minutes left in the session last Friday."
The governor has indicated he will sign the bill, and has 15 days to do so as part of an emergency clause. It's possible the bill will not be signed before Memorial Day weekend.
The language
Section 640.080 would set a standard that measures E. coli using the Environmental Protection Agency's Method 1603 method that measures culturable E. coli, with the geometric mean (GM) of weekly sampling of 190 colony-forming units per 100 milliliters would be used.
If beaches exceed the GM standard, the DNR would post the beach with signs that state, "Swimming is Not Recommended." That differs from current language which requires "closed" signs, and even allows beaches to be cordoned off with yellow and black police tape.
The department reserves the right to close a beach in the event of a documented health risk including things such as wastewater by-pass, extremely high sampling values, spills of hazardous chemicals, or localized outbreaks of an infectious disease.
Missouri has the strictest standards for E.coli levels of any state in the nation, and even exceeds the levels the EPA considers safe for public use.

Santa Rosa, California (10, December 2012) Improving performance and preparing riders for the ProTour is the goal of the new BMC Development Team that will compete in Europe and the United States, Directeur Sportif and Team Manager Rik Verbrugghe announced Monday.
Exciting Possibilities
Verbrugghe, a 13-year professional who has been an assistant director for the BMC Racing Team the past two seasons, said he is excited to work with a mix of young and semi-experienced riders. "Our main goal is to work with the young guys and bring them to a higher level in the hopes that they will graduate to the ProTour level," he said. "Of course we hope to achieve some good results along the way. But more important than results is teaching them the best way to ride, how to train, and to nurture them through our system."
BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz said planning to create a development team was several years in the making. "Now that we're finally making it happen, we are excited about the possibilities it creates," he said. "We will be helping young athletes start their career off right and growing and developing them in a system where their progress will be closely followed." Verbrugghe will be assisted by assistant director Jens Blatter, team doctor Scott Major and Scott Nydam, performance advisor and trainer.
Multi-National Roster
The team's 14-rider roster includes six from Switzerland (Valentin Baillifard, Tom Bohli, Silvan Dillier, Kilian Frankiny, Arnaud Grand and Stefan Küng), four Americans (Taylor Eisenhart, Paul Lynch, Alexey Vermeulen and Tyler Williams), Belgian Loic Vliegen, Italian Igniazio Moser and Jakub Novak of the Czech Republic. Australian Tim Roe rounds out the squad and is the most experienced, having spent two seasons with the BMC Racing Team. "It will be good to have Tim as a road captain as he recovers from the back troubles that affected his performances the past two years," Verbrugghe said. Vliegen said he did not hesitate when he was offered a roster spot. "BMC is a big team with a good management," he said. "I hope to show good things next year, especially in races like Liège-Bastogne-Liège, which is special for me as I come from the area."
Road And Track Talent
Talent on the squad extends from the road to the track, where Bohli is the current junior world champion in the team pursuit – as well as the Swiss national junior road and time trial champion. Dillier won the Swiss Under 23 time trial title this year to go along with his Under 23 European championship in the 4,000-meter pursuit and the madison. Novak is the reigning Czech Republic Under 23 time trial champion while Küng earned the junior European championship in the madison in July. All of this bodes well, Verbrugghe said, especially with the April opening of the Velodrome Suisse, a 250-meter track in Central Switzerland spearheaded by BMC Racing Team sponsor Andy Rihs.
Verbrugghe said the team will conduct a January training camp in Spain before starting its season with one-day races in Europe in February. "Important early-season races for us will be the Tour de Normandie in March, Liège-Bastogne-Liège in April and the Giro Bio in June, plus all the Under 23 stage races and one-day races in between," he said.
BMC Development Team Roster: Valentin Baillifard (SUI), Tom Bohli (SUI) Silvan Dillier (SUI), Taylor Eisenhart (USA), Kilian Frankiny (SUI), Arnaud Grand (SUI), Stefan Küng (SUI), Paul Lynch (USA), Igniazio Moser (ITA), Jakub Novak (CZE), Tim Roe (AUS), Alexey Vermeulen (USA), Loic Vliegen (BEL), Tyler Williams (USA).
Directeur Sportif and Team Manager: Rik Verbrugghe (BEL)
Assistant Director: Jens Blatter (BEL)
Staff: Doctor: Scott Major (USA). Head Mechanic: Nick Mondelaers (BEL). Head Soigneur: Patrice Hemroulle (BEL). Trainer/Performance Advisor: Scott Nydam (USA).

The And1 team, featuring street-ball legend Hot Sauce plus next-generation stars like Werm and Frequent Flight, held a clinic for local youths at George Schmeider Memorial Park in Oakland Beach before teaming with the Elks and Warwick Police for a substance abuse awareness program. They returned to the court in the afternoon for a dunk contest that delighted the crowd, followed by an autograph session. In the nightcap, the And1 stars took on a team of Rhode Island players at Pilgrim High School before a crowd of nearly 300.And1 held off a strong charge by the Rhody squad to win 81-73.

Freshman kicker Miles MacKenzie drilled a 34-yard field goal with :03 left in the first half to give Ohio Wesleyan a 10-7 lead, but Chicago scored a pair of second-half touchdowns to take a 21-10 non-conference win over the Bishops on Saturday at Selby Stadium.
The Bishop defense made life miserable for Chicago quarterback Vincent Cortina, intercepting passes on the Maroons' first 2 possessions and forcing fumbles on the next 2.
First, it was senior safety Keegan Varner picking off a Cortina pass near midfield, setting up a 37-yard field goal attempt by MacKenzie that misfired, the Bishop kicker's first miss of the season.
On Chicago's ensuing possession, junior defensive tackle Tyler Swary picked off a screen pass and returned it to the Chicago 41.
The Bishops took advantage of the excellent field position, and aided by a pair of Chicago pass interference penalties -- one on a fourth-and-7 call from the Bishop 21 -- along with an 11-yard strike from sophomore quarterback Mason Espinosa to senior tight end Pat Embleton, Ohio Wesleyan moved to a first down at the Maroons' 14-yard line. Two plays later, Espinosa found freshman tight end Calvin Cagney in the right flat, and Cagney went over to complete an 8-yard scoring play that gave Ohio Wesleyan a 7-0 lead.
Ohio Wesleyan got the ball back after Varner forced a Cortina fumble at the Bishop 41-yard line and sophomore defensive end Jonathan Valentine fell on the ball at the Ohio Wesleyan 35, but the Bishop offense went 3-and-out, and Chicago's Dee Brizzolara returned a MacKenzie punt 51 yards to the Bishop 27-yard line.
Chicago moved into the red zone as Ian Gaines ran for 15 yards on first down, but on second down from the Ohio Wesleyan 9, Cortina lost the handle on the football and sophomore linebacker Justin Segal recovered to preserve the Bishop lead.
The Maroons forced a punt, however, and Kevin Shelton replaced Cortina at the helm of the Maroon offense. The move paid off when Shelton hit Tom Bemenderfer for 26 yards on third-and-8 from the OWU 42, and Gaines picked up another first down with a 4-yard gain on third-and-3 from the OWU 9. Ohio Wesleyan's defense came up with one big play, with junior linebacker Tyler Sheetz and Swary dumping Francis Adarkwa for a 2-yard loss on second down. Facing a fourth-and-goal from the OWU 2, the Maroons gambled, and it paid off when Shelton found Brandon Meckelberg for the tying touchdown.
After a trade of punts, the Bishops took over at their own 30 with 1:40 left in the half, and Espinosa ran a nifty 2-minute drill, connecting with sophomore split end Dave Mogilnicki for 21 yards, finding freshman halfback Kevin Herman for another first down, then hitting Mogilnicki for 19 yards and a first down at the Chicago 17. After a couple of incompletions, MacKenzie came on for a 34-yard field goal try and split the uprights for a 10-7 Bishop lead.
Chicago took the lead midway through the third quarter when Shelton found Brizzolara down the right sideline on a 32-yard scoring play, giving the Maroons a 14-10 lead.
The Maroons were content to stay on the ground after that, marching downfield on their next possession to a first down at the Bishop 14 only to stall there. Shelton dropped the snap for a 5-yard loss on third-and-9, and Valentine sniffed out Chicago's fake field goal attempt on fourth down, dragging down holder Cody Edgeworth for a 4-yard loss and giving the Bishops the ball in the final seconds of the third quarter.
Given new life by a roughing-the-kicker penalty that provided one first down, Espinosa moved the Bishops with completions of 12 yards to Embleton on third-and-4 from the OWU 46, 11 yards to Mogilnicki on third-and-9 from the Chicago 41, and 16 yards to freshman split end Scott Jenkins, setting up a first down at the Chicago 14. Facing fourth-and-3 from the Chicago 7-yard line, the Bishops elected to go for the first down and the go-ahead score, but Maroon cornerback Emmett Carrier jumped the route, picked off the pass, and streaked 95 yards for a score that made it a 21-10 game.
The Bishops threatened on their next possession, with Espinosa finding Mogilnicki for 19 yards and a first down, and Espinosa scrambling for 10 yards on a fourth-and-9 situation, but that drive stalled at the Chicago 20-yard line, and the Maroons sealed the win when Arlin Hill picked off an Espinosa pass on the Bishops' final possession.
Espinosa completed 20 of 45 passes for 194 yards and a score. Herman caught 6 passes for 28 yards, and Mogilnicki had 4 catches for 70 yards. Freshman fullback Garrison Davis led the Bishops with 28 yards on 6 rushes.
Defensive standouts for the Bishops included Sheetz, who had a team-high 13 tackles; senior defensive tackle John Warrell, who made 11 stops, including 1 for loss; and junior defensive end James Huddleston, who recorded 10 tackles.
Shelton completed 5 of 6 passes for 86 yards and 2 touchdowns, with Bemenderfer catching 3 passes for 48 yards. Ross-Nash led Chicago rushers with 87 yards on 18 carries.
Schuyler Montefalco led the Maroon defense with 10 tackles, including a sack, and a pass breakup.
Chicago Rallies Past Ohio Wesleyan

SonicGMI used to be a mod installer of its own, but now it's been rehauled as a GUI front-end to CPKREDIR, so users can easily configure the mods they use, their order, and various other settings in an quick and simple interface.
You can make a shortcut to SonicGMI directly to play the game and be able to configure mods easily, but it's not required to launch the game from it for the mods to work!
Download the latest version here.
*) Updates
Version 1.1:
- Redesigned GUI, added some foolproof conditions for being able to play with mods(such as installing CPKREDIR if mods are enabled)
- Added Online Update support for mods. Mods can now have an update server, so the end users can easily update their mods directly from the program whenever an update is available, without the need of redownloading the whole thing.
- FxPipeline renderer support(AKA the misnamed Unleashed Renderer). Now you can create the alternate renderer exe from SonicGMI, and boot it directly from the program, without having to manually run it from the game's folder. Note this renderer is purely experimental and under constant research, so it might improve and have its bugs ironed out as more discoveries are done. In its current state, it does its purpose just fine, there's only a few visual glitches that can be tolerated sometimes. When new settings are discovered in the EXE, those options will appear in SonicGMI.
- FxPipeline Shaders Mod added, it must be used if the alternate renderer is enabled, as it fixes various glitches present with the regular shaders. These are NOT the shader_s files found before(which had many lacking features, such as gloss map support), these are new, custom fixed shaders by me, that support correct directional shadows, no red tint, and some other stuff. This mod is currently in Beta and updates frequently, which is perfect for showing off the updating feature.
- Ring Cap removal is now supported with the creation of an alternate executable, and has no known issues so far. This will be useful for the Unleashed Project as you can imagine, but feel free to go nuts in your own stages as well.
- Bundled the newest CPKREDIR 0.4.1 version.
1) Installing
Copy the contents of this folder into the folder where SonicGenerations.exe is stored. For example: C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sonic generations\
It doesn't replace any of the game's files, so uninstalling it is trivial. It's not even needed since you can just disable the mod redirection and play the vanilla game.
2) Usage
Simply run SonicGMI.exe for configuring the mod loading, patching the exe, and playing! The first time you run SonicGMI it might take a bit since it'll scan the exe to see if CPKREDIR is enabled or not. The scanning will be disabled by default.
If you never patched your EXE so CPKREDIR works, you can do it directly from SonicGMI with the Install/Uninstall button. It will warn you if you're about to play with an unpatched version of the game.
You can make brand new Mod configurations by saving the INI with a different name, or even to another folder! You don't need to define mods in your INIs to find them. SonicGMI will simply scan the folder the INI is in for more Mods to add to the list.
3) Save backups
In case your mod uses Save File redirection, you can specify in your mod.ini with the key "SaveFileBackup" the save file that will be restored when users click on "Restore Save File" for that particular mod. If you don't specify it, SonicGMI will search for the save file you specified, with a ".new" appended to the end.
Note that if none of the mods use Save File redirection, launching it now will create a brand new save file on the directory called "cpkredir.sav", copied from your regular Sonic Generations save file. This prevents users tampering with their records by default, but you can disable the Save File redirection easily.

Unemployed College Station teacher finds bank bag with $20K
COLLEGE STATION — An unemployed teacher who thought a bag on a road carried a dirty diaper found about $20,000 and returned the cash to a bank.
The Eagle newspaper reported Wednesday that Chase bank officials in return gave Candace Scott a $500 credit gift card.
Scott on Tuesday morning was driving and saw a clear bag with a blue zipper. She says it looked like money inside but then thought the bag had a soiled diaper.
Scott stopped anyway and found two bundles of hundred-dollar bills in the bag with a Chase label. She drove to a nearby Chase bank and gave the cash to the branch manager.
Chase spokesman Greg Hassell on Wednesday confirmed the bank bag contained about $20,000. He declined to provide additional information citing courier safety.

Philippe Baghdassarian: I finally got some free time this weekend and gave Ni no Kuni a try. A try, that's what I said at first, I ended up playing it for 14 hours straight until I realized it was 8 in the morning``
Great score of course! However, how come perfect scores like this doesn't get included in Metacritic?
I'm downloading the demo right now. I'm excited to try this masterpiece out.
the internet is usually an equal, if not better, consensus than metacritic IMO. I rarely look to metacritic. you can gauge a game's worth by ppl's comments on it

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – At its final home game of the 2013 season, the MIT water polo team honored its four seniors before playing an aggressive game against Iona College, coming from behind to defeat Iona College by a score of 10-9 on Sunday morning. Yesterday, the Engineers defeated Fordham University by a score of 9-7 before falling to St. Francis College, 12-5. MIT is now 11-12 on the season.
As he did yesterday, sophomore Ory Tasman (Orlando, Fla.) played a strong game, netting three goals and tallying two steals for the Engineers, bringing his total so far this season to 49. Senior Andrew Dorne (Irvine, Calif.) also played well, scoring three goals and notching two steals and an assist.
Tech played strongly against the Gaels right from the beginning, taking a number of powerful shots at net, but the Iona goalkeeper was always able to make the save. MIT trailed by a score of 3-1 by the end of the first quarter following a goal by Dorne, but Tech managed to close the gap a bit when it ended the second period just two goals behind with a score of 5-3.
The game picked up speed in the third quarter, following one goal by Tasman and another by junior Dylan Hallman (La Jolla, Calif.). With five minutes remaining on the clock, sophomore Kale Rogers (Newberg, Ore.) tied the score for the first time this game but, with another Iona goal a minute later, the Gaels look a 7-6 lead.
With a minute remaining, the score was tied, once again, when Dorne found the back of the net again. MIT took the lead for the first time this game with 29 seconds remaining following a great shot from senior Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.) from directly outside the box but the Gaels managed to tie the score at 8-8 with five seconds left in the quarter.
Tied at eight with just eight minutes remaining in the game, both teams turned up the intensity even more in hopes of securing the win. Dorne gave the Cardinal and Gray the lead a minute and a half in when he threw the ball past the goalie for the second time today. Freshman keeper Ian Zaun (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) further helped MIT's efforts with his impressive block 30 seconds letter. With four minutes left, Tech took a 10-8 lead following another goal by Tasman, but Iona netted its ninth moments later. In hopes of scoring the equalizer with 10 seconds left, an Iona shot went just high of the net and time elapsed before the Gaels had another shot, ending the game with a score of 10-9.
Tech will travel down the road to Harvard for the CWPA Northern Division Championships that will be played from Saturday through Sunday, Nov. 9-10. The Engineers will officially end the 2013 season at the CWPA Championships at Brown University from Nov. 22-24.
