Publisher: Codemasters
Developer: Codemasters
The DiRT series has come a long way from the Colin McRae Rally series and has been around for over 15 years. Codemasters has always pushed the latest hardware for the best physics and graphics possible and DiRT 3 is no exception. Not much has changed from DiRT 2 besides a visual, physics, car roster, and track upgrade. The core gameplay is pretty much the same. This time around the visual aesthetics steer away from the street gang style of art and move onto a weird psychedelic thing about triangles…don't ask me.
The main attraction here is the new Gymkhana events which are all about tricks. Doing donuts, spins, getting air, drifting, and all the fun stuff you can't do on the track. Pull out into a third-person view (it's not really possible in the first person) and tear around the area trying to rack up a certain amount of points, beat a speed run, or smash into a certain amount of objects. It's all great fun but takes a lot of time to master. The cars can be squirrely because of how powerful they are and learning when to time each trick takes hours. You will get frustrated early on but keep at it because once you unlock the Battersea Compound to complete 80 missions you will master it there.
All the other event types are back such as Rally Cross, Rally, Land Rush, Trailblazer, etc. My biggest gripe is that there aren't any new event types besides Gymkhana. The repetitive nature sets in at about the halfway point in the tour because of the lack of events and tracks. All these events are loads of fun, but most people probably won't finish the tour due to the fact that it's the same as DiRT 2. What does help is the new weather system which gives us snow, blizzards, heavy rain, and more night races really help? It helps give some variety to the tracks, but you will spend a good $30 buying the new tracks and cars which are a major rip-off and not worth it.
The physics has improved and felt a little less floaty or too heavy. Of course, you can always tune your car if you don't like the way it drives, but we still can't customize them, and they even took away the little dash toys to show off the physics engine. I really want to customize my cars, but at least there is a bigger variety in them and you unlock them at a faster rate. The graphics are phenomenal and PC users get treated to some DirectX 11 features such as better lighting, shadows, and blur effects. It's very light so don't expect a huge difference, but it lets us PC gamers know we get a little extra.
I also wish those stupid announcers would shut up like they wouldn't in DiRT 2. They are more annoying now than ever and I really hate the hip menus Codemasters is doing. What happened to the slick simple menu of DiRT 1? Besides this, the online modes are fun and not much different from the past two games except for the addition of Gymkhana. If you loved DiRT 2 pick this up, but newcomers will be amazed at all the greatness.

2011 Game of the Year Awards — Gere — Best Driving Game
Posted in: 2011, Game of the Year Awards. Tagged: 2011, 360, apocalypse, awards, best, directx 11, dirt 3, driver, driving, f1, forza, game of the year, genre, Microsoft, motorsport, motorstorm, pc, playstation, playstation 3, ps3, racer, racing, san francisco, Sony, steam codemasters, xbox. 1 Comment
This was a year with a lot of driving games and a few didn't make it on the list. A great driving game has a wide variety of cars, great physics and handling (especially if it's a simulator), great tracks, and a fun multiplayer component. What sets the best apart from the rest? Perfecting or changing something in the genre that none of the others did. Most racing games tend to stick to what's safe, but the best reaches out just a little bit further.
What sets DiRT 3 apart this year was the fact that it improved on itself and added a lot of new things, but also was a solid racing game with great physics and cars. This was a close tie against Forza 4, but Forza didn't improve enough on itself like DiRT 3 did. With the addition of Gymkhana, a whole new presentation style, revamped rep system, and tons of new cars DiRT 3 just new what makes a good racing game. With the addition of some DirectX 11 effects on PC, it also is one of the best looking.

November 6, 2013 L. Wayne Ashley Leave a comment
"As we build our city, let us think that we are building forever… " …for a couple of years, enjoying and abusing for a few decades, leaving to rot without a smidge of maintenance and upkeep for a decade, then bulldozing to the ground to make way for ANOTHER hot, crusty gargantuan parking lot (as if there aren't enough here already).
If you don't get the reference, this is the centerpiece sculpture of Main Street Square in Downtown Houston. Despite many pre-election polls to the contrary, Harris County residents displayed their true colors last night, and voted against the proposal to save the Astrodome through raising taxes. The bond measure failed by a decisive 53 percent of the vote. As disappointed as preservationists may be about this decision, I think it's important to realize that voters had very valid concerns with the proposal. 217 million dollars is a lot of money to pay for a plan that was not thoroughly marketed or well understood. Perhaps a rejection will now serve as motivation for the private sector to step up and save the iconic landmark, as Houston Mayor Annise Parker suggested at a recent press conference. But voters did narrowly pass the measure to build a city-county joint processing center, which is a good thing. All Texas state constitutional amendments passed.
And now for the interesting municipal election news…
== Houston Mayor Annise D. Parker was reelected to a third term. It was a decisive victory, with Parker obtaining 57 percent of the vote against 8 challengers. Lead contender Ben Hall, for all of his money and exposure, only garnered 27 percent. This was truly a great night for the Parker campaign, and should be an example worth study for other aspiring Texas politicos.
== City Controller Ronald Green was reelected in a close race to challenger Bill Frazer.
== Some really interesting lessons to learn from the City Council races…
-Of course Council Members Ellen Cohen (C), Dave Martin (E), Ed Gonzalez (H), Mike Laster (J), and Larry Green (K) were all reelected as unopposed candidates. It's tough to imagine how good a feeling it is to not have to stress out about the rigors of campaigning. Must be nice. District A ultimately turned out as expected, with Council Member Helena Brown being forced into a run-off with former Council Member Brenda Stardig. As promising as challengers like Amy Peck and Ron Hale seemed, they were unable to garner much traction with the voters. Prepare for a bitter runoff fight here. Council Member Jerry Davis won a decisive victory in District B. For the District D race, Dwight Boykins' well-financed and well-organized campaign earned him the top finisher in the race, far out-pacing the other candidates. But it wasn't enough to avoid a runoff, where he will face challenger Georgia Provost. Richard Nguyen defeated incumbent Council Member Al Hoang in the District F race. Most political analysts were not expecting that. Some have to wonder if voters were more approving of Nguyen, or if they were just expressing dissatisfaction with Hoang. In District G, Council Member Oliver Pennington was reelected as expected. But District I, on the other hand, was a total fight to the finish. Graci Garces finished slightly ahead of the pack, and a mere 20 votes nudged Robert Gallegos into the runoff over 3rd place Ben Mendez. That's a razor-thin margin if I've ever heard of one.
– In At Large races, Council Members Stephen Costello (1), C.O. Bradford (4) and Jack Christie (5) each handily won reelection, garnering enough votes to comfortably avoid a runoff. But in At Large 2, Council Member Andrew Burks was not so lucky, finishing three percentage points below challenger David W. Robinson. Expect a fierce battle here for the runoff. Perhaps most implicative was the At Large 3 race, where strong Jenifer Pool and Rogene Calvert split the Progressive vote down the middle. This gave just enough room for the race's top two finishers to be Conservatives Michael Kubosh and Roy Morales. Losing Council Member Melissa Noriega's seat to a Conservative will be a true blow to Houston Progressives, though thankfully with Parker at the healm, it shouldn't do too much substantive damage.
I sincerely hope that At Large 3 teaches an important lesson to Houstonians, and Texans as a whole. If Democrats hope to ever gain a foothold in this state, we cannot afford to "Tea Party" our ticket like what was witnessed here. The second that we do, the Republicans will come up and swallow us whole. Even in an assumed "Blue dot" like Houston, we must never forget the red surrounds us on all sides, especially in a light turnout election. Races like this one should serve as even more motivation to the Left that voter registration and turnout has to be job number one. Otherwise, we better just enjoy being a Red State forever.
More analysis will follow soon.

Paving the Road to Blue Texas: HCDP's Lane Lewis
March 29, 2013 L. Wayne Ashley Leave a comment
I had the opportunity to sit down with Lane Lewis, chair of the Harris County Democratic Party. We discussed some of the activities of the county party, his thoughts about the renewed interest in Texas Democrats, and the possibilities of Texas Turning Blue. And as he said, talking about turning Texas blue is great, but it won't get accomplished without decisive, coordinated action. There has to come a point where rhetoric meets the road.
Texas Leftist: Thank you very much for your time today, and I want to say Congratulations on the success of the 2012 elections, and a very exciting start to 2013. Now that we've had a bit of time to sleep and reflect, how do you think 2012 went from your perspective?
Lane Lewis: I thought they went very well, and we did what we needed to do. We are in the process of changing the culture of the party. We are creating a culture of organizing for 365 days per year. That's what our Engage 365 initiative is about. We're not staffing down after the 2012 elections… we're staffing up.
TL: The notion of a year-round organization goes right into my second question. Do you think Engage 365 is going well, and will you be close to achieving that goal?
LL: It's been going very well. We've had 3 events so far this year… a food drive, a blood bank, and a community garden project. All three have met or exceeded our expectations.
And let me talk about why these events are important. Some would say "you planted a garden… that's cute." But the big picture is to draw a series of bright contrasts between us and the other side. We partnered with a local, small health clinic, selected a plot of land on their property, and created a public space that benefits the life and health of the community. Right behind this future community garden is Booker T. Washington High School. Let's work with the school to create a gardening club, and get the students involved in community service, as well as an educational opportunity. Republicans want to take away your health care, Democrats want to help you access it. Republicans want to do away with public and recreational spaces, Democrats help to create those public spaces. Republicans want to gut funding for education, Democrats want to build bridges and expand educational opportunities. We're addressing healthcare, elevating community awareness, and building bridges with educators and community leaders.
You may ask, how do we get people to this event? Simple… we make phone calls, and invite them to the event. "There's no election going on right now, but we're creating a community garden in your neighborhood. Would you like to be involved?" and they say "Sure!". At the same time, we're cleaning up our voter list. We go to area elected officials to sponsor the event. That way, we're elevating their profile in an off year, and it's easier to get them reelected next time.
At the base of the project, we're leaving a cornerstone that says:
"Engage 365- Community Garden Project for the Indepence Heights Health Care Clinic. Sponsored by the Harris County Democratic Party, and elected officials."
We leave it there as a permanent reminder for visitors to the clinic. These people [the Democrats] believe so much in your need for these services, that we'll put our money and our name on it. It's not just a "cute idea".
The garden received press coverage from both Univision Channel 45 and the Memorial Examiner, which you can read more by following the links.
TL: Sounds like an investment all the way around, and again a great segway into the next question. Do you feel that Democrats in our county are doing a better job at being on offense? Are we better able to set the political agenda instead of always having to respond to the agenda of the GOP?
LL: Yes, most definitely. We are taking action, and not reaction. Reactions over the long term typically arise out of a lack of leadership and direction. If we don't know where we are going, then we're forced to simply react to wherever we are. A great example of action is the new Harris County Democratic Party website. It's integrated socially with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other sites. I challenge you to find another county party website in the entire country that is as sophisticated as ours. That, ladies and gentlemen is ACTION… where the rhetoric meets the road.
In my opinion, the off years are when it's important to begin merging the ideas of community organizing with political organizing. That's when people can say "it's not just about getting me to vote. It's about people participating in my neighborhood." At HCDP we are marrying community organizing– finding solutions to people's real life problems, with political organizing– getting people to vote, and better understand the importance of doing so.
TL: A very "small d democratic" solution. And that brings up an important point. With all of the crazy debates in our legislature right now… fighting tooth-and-nail to expand Medicaid and meet the growing needs of Texas schoolchildren… is there anything "off" about 2013 for Texans? Do you feel that the groundwork being laid with HCDP can be translated back into political action for 2014?
LL: Well, here's an example… in 2010, I was the Senate District chair for SD15, and at that time I designed a program called 24/15. I wanted a test some theories regarding Social Pressure voting. So I took my list, and hired a group of CWA workers, and gave them each a co-hort of people on the list. They called the voters every week to give them information about the voting leading up to election day. We informed them about early voting, then found early vote locations that were convenient to their work and their home. We made notes on every call, and when we called the voter again, based our call on the previous conversation. The final call "you gotta promise me that you're going to go early vote, ok?" until we get a good response from the list. 2010… Democrats got their butts kicked across the country, but in SD15? 62 percent of that list went out to go EARLY vote.
TL: Very impressive. With all of the buzz surrounding Texas Democrats all of a sudden, and many people giving the state party a second look, Harris County is sure to be a major focus of those efforts. As the largest county in the state, with the most potential to tip the scales in a statewide election, what are your goals for the county in 2014 and 2016.
LL: You're absolutely right. 1 out of every 4 votes cast in Texas come from Harris county. So yes Harris is a player, it's got to be a player. When Harris county goes reliably blue, Texas goes blue. The state certainly can't go blue without us. When that happens and Texas flips, there is not an electoral map you can show me where a Republican candidate can win without Texas. It would be GAME OVER for generations. So what are we going to do to expedite that? We certainly need to focus on creating a larger voter share by identifying new voters and building relationships with them. Some reports I've read say there are as many as 600,000 non-registered voters in the county. We focus on them, and get even 80,000 to go vote, it's game over here as well.
TL: Of course besides 2014, we have several local races in 2013, but many of these races are non-partisan. Given that fact, does HCDP play any particular function in these local races?
LL: Yes and no. I have absolutely no intention of placing the party in a position to endorse any municipal candidate… particularly if there is more than one Democrat in the race. However, I do think there is something to be said for providing voters two things. The first is a voter guide to inform voters of which candidates typically vote in the Democratic primary, whether or not they are a sustaining member with the Democratic Party, and to share candidate views regarding important Progressive issues. I think we have a responsibility to provide those things to the voters. I also think that HCDP has a responsibility to assist in the turnout of vote. We can still inform voters of Democratic issues, and use this as an opportunity to update our list with accurate voter information. We can also assist with information about the elections, such as where and when to early vote.
TL: Good to hear that HCDP definitely has an important role even in non-partisan election years. And that brings us to my last question. Maybe it's too early to talk about 2014, but do you see any major races shaping up?
LL: Nope not yet. No one that is going to step forward that I know of. And sure there are always rumblings, but I don't report on rumblings. The message here is this… 2013 is an extension of 2014. We cannot sit back and idle by waiting for 2014 to come. So the actions that we take now to increase our voter share are imperative. This is where the rhetoric meets the road. As fun and engaging as it is to sit around and strategize, there are very few political strategists in the world. And we don't need more political strategists… we need more political WORKERS. Texas is going to turn blue, but it is not going to be an event. It's going to be a process. And that process requires hard work. If Texans participate in that process, then the event will happen sooner rather than later.
TL: And what about statewide candidates?
LL: If we expect a Senator, Mayor or State Rep to put their name out to run for state-wide office, the first thing they will look at is their ability to raise money. The second thing they're going to look at is capacity for voter turnout. Now the problem is this… the only way they can raise money is if the answer to the second question is already there. The big money isn't going to contribute without knowing voter turnout and engagement (the answer to the FIRST question) is already in place. So when people ask me "who have we got running for Governor?" my question to them is "How many calls have you made today? How many doors have you knocked on today?" Because if the answer to my question is ZERO, then the answer to their question will most certainly be ZERO. The money will come… the candidates will come when we're doing our job. That job is to raise a dollar, knock a door and make a call.
TL: It sounds like quite the job, but Texans are ready. Thank you very much for your time today.

The release history for When I Was Cruel was complicated right from the start. Much of the world, including the US, got the 15-track lineup listed above. However, the UK CD added a 16th track, "Oh Well," and the Japanese CD included both "Oh Well" and a 17th track, "Smile." While "Smile" was tacked onto the end of the disc, as is typically the case with bonus tracks, "Oh Well" was inserted into the main running order between "My Little Blue Window" and "Episode Of Blonde." As a result, it is difficult to say which lineup should be considered definitive.
Regardless, American fans didn't have to wait long to get the two bonus tracks, because both were included on the compilation Cruel Smile along with two other studio recordings ("When I Was Cruel (No. 1)" and a second version of "Smile"), seven live tracks from the 2002 tour ("Almost Blue," "15 Petals," "Spooky Girlfriend," "Watching The Detectives / My Funny Valentine," "Dust," "Uncomplicated," and "Soul For Hire," the last of these an unlisted "hidden track"), and four remixes of songs from When I Was Cruel ("Honeyhouse," "Revolution Doll," "Peroxide Side," and "The Imposter Vs. The Floodtide").
Several of these tracks had been available as B-sides in other markets, but none of this material had been available previously in the US. Because Cruel Smile was released in the midst of Rhino's reissue program and mopped up most of the odds and ends associated with When I Was Cruel, some fans dubbed it the When I Was Cruel bonus disc.
Cruel Smile was not released in the UK. Instead British fans got the two-disc set When I Was Cruel — Collectors Edition, which contained the original album on disc 1 and nine of the Cruel Smile tracks on disc 2. Most of the others had already been available as UK B-sides, but the Cruel Smile versions of "Almost Blue" and "Soul For Hire" have yet to be released in the UK in any form.
Elvis recorded "Smile" (written by Charles Chaplin, John Turner, and Geoffrey Parsons) for use as the theme song for a 2002 Japanese television drama entitled Sora kara furu ichioku no hoshi. The A-side (called the "Original Version" on the CD single) was recorded at New York's Avatar Studios and features some familiar Costello associates (Marc Ribot, Greg Cohen, Roy Nathanson). The B-side (the "Ballad Version") was mostly recorded without Elvis' involvement at Paris' Studio Delphine under Steve Nieve's direction, with Elvis adding his vocal at Windmill Lane in Dublin.
Elvis wrote two quite different songs called "When I Was Cruel" but only included the second version on the album of the same name. It was listed without the parenthetical "No. 1" in its initial appearances on the "Tear Off Your Own Head" singles.
These recordings from Elvis Costello and the Imposters' first world tour were scattered throughout the Cruel Smile track listing. "Soul For Hire" is an unlisted "hidden track."
Elvis accompanies himself on electric guitar and beatbox in this performance from a private concert held May 22, 2002 and sponsored by San Francisco radio station KFOG. Shortly after the release of Cruel Smile, this track also appeared on KFOG's compilation CD Live From The Archives 9.
These four tracks are all remixes of When I Was Cruel tracks under different names. "Revolution Doll" and "The Imposter Vs. The Floodtide (Dust And Petals)" were produced by all four members of the "Imposter" production team (Costello, Ciarán Cahill, Leo Pearson, and Kieran Lynch), while "Honeyhouse (Cruel No. 2)" and "Peroxide Side (Blunt Cut)" were produced by just Cahill, Pearson, and Lynch. At the risk of stating the obvious, "Honeyhouse (Cruel No. 2)" is "When I Was Cruel No. 2," "Revolution Doll" is "Tear Off Your Own Head (It's A Doll Revolution)," "Peroxide Side (Blunt Cut)" is "Episode Of Blonde," and "The Imposter Vs. The Floodtide (Dust And Petals)" incorporates elements of both "Dust 2..." and "15 Petals."
"Oh Well" was originally intended to be performed by Elvis in the movie musical Prison Song, a film which was eventually released with most of its musical sequences left on the cutting room floor. Elvis' other Prison Song track, "Soul For Hire," appeared on all versions of When I Was Cruel, but "Oh Well" appeared only on the UK and Japanese editions. The decision to include a bonus track in those markets was the record company's, but the decision to make "Oh Well" that track was Elvis'. He told Entertainment Weekly's Chris Willman that he felt the ballad-y song slowed the record down. "Oh Well" was co-written by Prison Song star/co-writer Q-Tip (under his real name, Kamaal Fareed).
Elvis made several appearances on local American radio stations to promote When I Was Cruel, and five of his "live on the air" versions of the album's songs — including three renditions of "Spooky Girlfriend" — were released on CD toward the end of 2002. The KFOG performance of "Spooky Girlfriend" was included on all copies of Cruel Smile, but the other tracks are more difficult to find. A solo acoustic version of "Tart" recorded June 3, 2002 for KBCO in Boulder appears only on the Japanese release of Cruel Smile. A solo acoustic "Spooky Girlfriend" from the same KBCO session was released on a compilation of various KBCO performances available only at Boulder-area SoundTrack stores (and eBay, of course). A solo acoustic "45" recorded June 5, 2002 at Echo Bay Studios in New Hope, MN was released by Minneapolis/St. Paul station Cities 97 (KTCZ) on a similar collection which quickly sold out at area Target stores (but again remained available at inflated prices on eBay). The final "Spooky Girlfriend" was performed before an audience at Seattle's Easy Street Records May 15, 2002 and follows the same basic guitar-and-beatbox arrangement of the KFOG version. It appeared on a CD released by Seattle's The Mountain (KMTT) and sold mainly at area Starbucks stores — but it was comparatively easy for Costello collectors outside of Seattle to purchase, since it was also available through Starbucks' website.
Elvis and Cait O'Riordan wrote this song especially for the 2000 Nicolas Cage film. It was recorded in early November 2000 with Elvis playing all the instruments and produced by the same "Imposter" production team responsible for When I Was Cruel.
Elvis plays all the instruments on his contribution to this 2001 Nick Lowe tribute album. The track notes suggest that the entire album was recorded in January 2001 at The Studio in Portland, Maine, but Elvis actually recorded his track separately in Dublin. Like the two other Lowe songs Elvis has chosen to record ("(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding?" and "The Ugly Things"), the song dates from Nick's early days in the band Brinsley Schwarz.
At the instigation of Charles Mingus' widow Sue, Elvis penned lyrics for six Mingus tunes originally intended as instrumentals. "Invisible Lady" is the first of the Mingus/Costello collaborations to see official release. It was recorded November 3, 2001 at New York's Avatar Studios and released in 2002.
When Liverpool singer-songwriter Steven Kennedy visited Dublin's Windmill Lane Studios in July 2001 to provide background vocals for three songs on When I Was Cruel, he and Costello also recorded the song "Autopilot" for Kennedy's album Control Freak. Elvis co-produced and contributed backing vocals and guitar and receives a rather prominent "featuring Elvis Costello" credit next to the song title on the back cover, but this track is not listed above because I do not consider it a Costello performance. Kennedy's CD seems to have received extremely limited distribution.


I need advice for PvP as I mostly PvE, I know that in PvE coming close to pen cap is the best way to maximize damage. I know that I need to be in battle before I chug a weapon pot, with the changes to CA.
Which combination gives max damage potential?
They stopped clever alchemist from working for bow ganks this patch... you'll have to use something else.
Also if you play on PC everyone uses an addon that counters your build because they get a warning whenever is an arrow coming.
In short *shrug* I don't know I was using clever alchemist and strenght of automation.
Someone was going around swearing Archer's mind is the best, I have never done DSA to get it so I don't know, I am concerned about how much crit stats it has that I don't want.
Hundings rage is okay, just a good all around set. Morag Tong seems like a popular bow gank set, but I'd have to reset all my skills.
try automaton + x set get the psychical snipe morph not poison.
The rotation with CA would require starting battle then chugging a potion to proc the WD/SD buff.
Strength of Automaton would require taking all non poison damage option on snipe and arrow spray, like wise as you said Morag Tong would require taking poison abilities.
Archer's Mind is not as strong as it was before since the crit damage is now additive rather than multiplicative. BTW Archer's Mind is easily available on guild stores.
We can start with Poison Arrow from stealth as the cast is instant then follow up with cast time attacks like snipe.
I was thinking about about Hundings, but the use of Impen in PvP makes 2 crit stats less valuable.
Using the Physical Morph is more useful in longer group fights, the poison morph is better for more burst damage, which is what is required for a ganker.
Couple of nice big percentage amps to your damage.
Lord and Savior of the Association of Serious S***posters.
I play a character called "Gives Me Wood Elf" because I am a mature and sensible person.
With poison morphs, Moral Tong is quite effective. 18% more damage using seems very strong, I will test this setup.
Spriggan, Kragh&Velidreth, Food that gives max Stam and Mag recovery and Shadow Walker on back bar for me.
Automaton is pretty poor on bow imo as it only works for physical damage, and Lethal arrow (Defile)/ Poison Injection are great.
Morag Tong is ok but it wont proc for your first hit (at least that used to be the case), which will probably be your main damage from Lethal Arrow. Its ok for the Poison Injection and poison ticks and has good 2pc-4pc bonuses.
Marksman is good due to the damage and recovery bonuses.
I actually think TBS is reasonable now they have increase mundus effects. I ran this with Spriggans and Lover/ Warrior stones (all divines) and did huge damage and had decent health and magicka, which is always nice.
I have been thinking of trying out TBS with Lover / Warrior, as these were buffed, but was afraid of trying it, as I would have to gold my armor out for max benefit, perhaps I should try it in PTS and then decide. And is it safe to assume that Spriggan jewelry was enchanted with WD?
The combinations in case of TBS (with lover/warrior) that could also work would be Sheer Venom (procs on first tick of PI) and Marksman (as you said for resource sustain).
Morag Tong has to be procced by heavy attack from stealth weaved with PI.
That's Impressive, I have those sets and I can try this out, Thank you for sharing. +1 insightful for giving the damage done value.
Automaton, Hunding, Kena with warrior mundus is what i use.
The crit from Hunding's is not that useful in PvP, but the WD is very useful.
Automaton would require me to change from Lethal Arrow to Focused Aim, which reduces the potential of burst, Focused Aim provides minor fracture and increases the range, but I lose the defile defuff and the extra damage which I get from Lethal Arrow.
Lethal Arrow->Acid Spray (lands first) for 20k+ Lethal Arrows.
Yes I have tested this and 20K+ is non crit damage. More than a ganker style, this is a very potent 1v1 build.
Go for it. You can get a feel for how it plays without using gold mats on your armour. I think you get about 4k pen and 350 WD (im at work so cant check). If you run food then you will kill most targets quickly. BTW I would suggest that most builds mentioned above will hit 20k+ on Lethal Arrow against the right target. That said, killing with a good bow combo isn't too hard. Escaping is where it gets difficult, so you need to get comfortable with you back bar skills and maybe even consider back baring a utility set that gives Stam and WD for 2pc-4pc.
The only way to know if it suits you is to try it in Cryro. I was playing with Leeching Strikes recently, its an interesting way to keep your stam at 100% while sneaking... I cant get on with it though, too clunky for me.
I have no DLC so never tried Sheer Venom. That's the one set i wish i had. I did try the Vicecannon set a while back but the damage was terrible.
Marksman is a great set as you can easily drop drinks if you run that. I would use with Sprig, but they are both medium which means you would lose some S/M/H if you have the undaunted passive.
If you're a NB then you probably don't want to build a combo that opens with Heavy Attack. The damage from heavy was nerfed a while back, and it was already returning less than snipe morphs. You want to try to find a combo that opens with snipe imo, which is why i dropped M Tong about a year ago.
These are just my thoughts/ experiences. Good luck testing!
Depends on,what class. You can't, really make up,for stealth passive on,bosmer or kajihht. Also, nightblade gets a 10% bonus on top of that. Then hit the mage guild and proc for another 20%.
Fighter guild ultimate. Plus stack fighter guild skills for another 17% .
Stack weapon damage and have fun. Also hundings with warrior stone.
Now it appears that Hundings + Spriggans does more damage because of the penetration. 35Kish on a dummy.
I am about to log in and go buy an archer's mind bow to test that as well.
Depends,on, your pen and what your trying to,do. I would put cp into pen and mighty .
Due to the fact that there are diminishing returns in CP tree, there is a limit to how many are really effective, because as @firedrgn said, it depends on what we are trying to do. In PvE we can min/max as the values are fixed at 9100 for overland and 18200 for dungeons, but in PvP the value of mitigation is volatile, some will have it high and other will have it low.
I keep pen in CP at 3k and an overall of 10k to 11k works very well, I use the rest of the points in Mighty, Thaumaturge and Master at Arms.
Atm i have a kraghs shoulder and not a velidreth/kena one. So i have a little extra pen from that. I also run mark target at least for dummy tests. Its in my flex slot, shuffle or fear, are my other options.
That honestly is the best way to do it, a little boring as there are quite a few variables to consider (gear included) for min/maxing, but rewarding in the same time. Please do share what you found to be optimal.
I have been using this combo for over a year on my bow ganker and nothing comes close to this. Tried Spriggans, Archers, Hawk and more but Morag + Marks with Veli/ Kragh is the best combo for a bow build. It however depends who I am facing, as I change to Spriggan + Marks when facing Smurfs and I change to Morag + Marks when facing banana's.
I am too much of a cheapskate to Buy Spriggans jewerly but I am pretty sure Spriggans + Hundings is worse when i tried it on the PTS, SotA gives more WD than Hundings. Hundings is better for healing and such.
In defense of Hundings rage, I have a bunch less stamina because I have tri stat enchants on helmet and gaurds. To get my hp stats to 17K.
That NPC must have 0 resistances or my backyard isn't big enough to get max damage from the bow distance passive. I have no idea how you'd get 50K with a single shot... 50K is my Onslaught (2H) damage.
My tests seems to suggest that Archer's mind might actually be the most damage.. but I want to find a punching bag to test how this interacts with Inpen.
You cant really test the damage on dummy. Penetration works differently vs them than vs players. If you are attacking from stealth, you get bonus damage vs dummy and not vs players.
Btw you need I think 25m distance to get max from bow passive, so slightly less than the range of poison injection.
Are those crit numbers ?
Used to get 50k snipes from stealth using Clever Alchemist+ Hundings/Dreugh King/Morag Tong etc. before the Clever Alchemist "tampering" in last patch.
Now using Dreugh King,Spriggans and 1 piece Molag Kena combo on NB which gives just over 45k snipes from stealth on NPC (empowered).
Can get just over 100k damage from empowered onslaught from stealth on NPC on same NB.
Ah wait I remember now.. NPCs still have the bonus damage from stealth they removed a few updates ago!
I was so confused... wait that should be applying on the dummy.?? That still allows me to compare the damage from the sets though.
There is no need for Dreugh King with Rally from 2h, With Clever alchemist I had only hit 54K for Onslaught, once shadow was nerfed and bonus damage from stealth was removed. They have been repeatly nerfing this play style over this year.
They should be crits and they should be empowered....I used Magelight and cloak whille snipe is in the air... I am not sure why my numbers are apperently so low then???
Put on the same gear and show me your numbers... surely you have hundings and spriggans lying around.
Keep in mind all my gear is purple since I am testing and not made of money.

Bartolo lights-out vs. A's
OAKLAND, Calif. — Bartolo Colon believes he's a better pitcher at age 38 after missing an entire season than he was during his harder-throwing, Cy Young-award winning days.
He sure pitched that way against Oakland, throwing a four-hitter for his first shutout in nearly five years as the Yankees beat the Athletics for the eighth straight time, 5-0 on Monday.
"I feel really strong physically and mentally right now," Colon said through an interpreter. "I feel really good right now. It doesn't matter that I'm 38 years old. I feel really good right now."
Mark Teixeira hit a two-run homer off Trevor Cahill (6-3), Robinson Cano added an RBI double and Derek Jeter recorded his 2,981st career hit and drove in a run for the Yankees, who have won 22 of 26 games against Oakland since the start of the 2008 season.
But the story of the game was Colon, who dialed up a performance reminiscent of his AL Cy Young award season in 2005.
"When he first came up he just threw the ball as hard as he could," Jeter said. "Now he's hitting his spots, his ball is moving, he's getting ahead of guys. He's become more of a pitcher. I think he was more of a thrower when he first came up."
The Yankees have won back-to-back games behind strong starts from Colon and CC Sabathia after losing the first two games of their nine-game West Coast trip.
Colon allowed no walks and struck out six to snap a five-start winless stretch with his first shutout since blanking Seattle 4-0 on July 5, 2006, with the Angels.
He was extremely efficient, needing just 103 pitches for the complete game, and was still strong at the end — hitting 95 mph on the radar gun on his final pitch.
"It just showed you how on he was today with his location," manager Joe Girardi said. "We've seen it before when his location is as good as it was today it's tough to score runs."
This marked the latest step in a remarkable comeback season for Colon, who was out of baseball a year ago and was brought by the Yankees to spring training on a minor-league deal. Colon earned a spot in the rotation early this season and has maintained it with a 3.26 ERA in the opening two months of the year.
"He's really exceeding our expectations," Teixeira said. "He's been huge for us. If we didn't have him in our rotation, we'd be scrambling right now."
The offensively challenged A's were shut out for the sixth time this year, getting only four baserunners against Colon (3-3) to snap a season-longest four-game winning streak.
"Today was just one of those days where we got beat," Oakland second baseman Mark Ellis said. "They threw it better than us, they hit better than us and they caught better than us. All I can say is we have two more games in this series."
Cahill was shelled in two starts against the Yankees last year, allowing 14 runs in 10 innings in two losses. He started this game much the same way with a three-run first inning.
Jeter got it started with a leadoff single and scored with one out on Teixeira's 16th home run.

Nikon Celebrates 75th Anniversary Of Nikkor Lenses and 60 years of Nikon Cameras
Wayne / Cameras, filmmaking /	News /
This year, 2008, is a commemorative year, marking 60 years of Nikon Cameras and the 75th anniversary of NIKKOR camera lenses. The first NIKKOR lens was introduced in 1933, and in 1948 came the introduction of the first Nikon compact 35mm camera, the Nikon I.
The history of Nikon dates back to 1917 when three of Japan's leading optical manufacturers merged to form a fully integrated optical company. By the end of the century Nikon would have accumulated an immense poll of know-how and experience to become a world leader in not only optics and imaging but also industrial equipment and health and medicine sector.
Today Nikon designs, develops, manufactures and markets a gamut of optical, photographic and optoelectronic products globally. You will find them at work in virtually every corner of the earth. If it has something to do with light, Nikon has something to do with it.
The driving force behind Nikon is technology. Not only in manufacturing and assembling the finest lenses or most comprehensive photography system in the world, but also in making the glass itself. That is why Nikon products have gained worldwide customer satisfaction, and even professional recognition worldwide.
About the NIKKOR brand
NIKKOR is the brand name for Nikon camera lenses. It was created by adding an "R" to "NIKKO," an abbreviation of Nippon Kogaku K.K., the original company name of Nikon Corporation at the time of its founding. In 1933, Nikon marketed its first camera lens under the NIKKOR brand name, the "Aero-NIKKOR," for aerial photography applications.
Since then, NIKKOR has developed extensively into both consumer and industrial markets, becoming a synonym for Japan's leading high-performance lenses. Nippon Kogaku K.K. first began manufacturing lenses for consumer-type cameras in the post-war period, and NIKKOR lenses have come to be cherished as interchangeable camera lenses by photographers around the world. In 1950, The New York Times commented that Nikon cameras and NIKKOR lenses used by photographers for Life magazine were superior to those made in Germany, significantly enhancing the reputations of both Nikon and NIKKOR far and wide.
NIKKOR has always been a leader in innovation, and in 1968 introduced a fisheye lens for SLRs, the OP Fisheye-Nikkor 10mm f/5.6, the world's first SLR lens featuring an aspherical lens.
The Ultra Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8 introduced in 1962 was the template for projection lenses employed in Nikon semiconductor manufacturing devices that currently boast the world's highest level of resolution.
Nikon continuously introduces new and innovative manufacturing technologies to interchangeable NIKKOR lenses for SLRs. One recent example is Nano Crystal Coat, which originated in the development of the most precise semiconductor manufacturing devices, virtually eliminating internal lens element reflections to effectively reduce ghosting and flare.
We recommend B&H Photo for Nikon gear.

We live in an age where you can talk to people from all around the globe, on a device that fits inside your pocket. In high schools, there are more opportunities to explore this digital world, so why don't elementary schools have the same?
Kids of all ages have at some point in their lives, they have wanted to be a superhero on the big screens. If students were taught at a young age about video production and theatre, they could one day, be that superhero that they dreamt of.


Did Honda Just File A Patent For the RC213V-S?
Much to our disappointment, Honda's seemingly endless waiting game regarding a road version of its RC213V-S superbike seems to have no end in sight. We're nowhere close to finding out whether or not Honda really has plans to build a production model of the concept we saw at the Milan Motorcycle Show last November 2014. That being said, new patents for the bike's design have just surfaced and if these patents are what I think they are, then Honda's probably giving serious thought to actually doing it.
I don't want to get ahead of myself here, even though the thought of a road-going RC213V-S has been gnawing at my head since I saw the concept bike last November. But these patent images could mean something, even though the only thing Honda's actually trying to patent is that small section at the back of the bike where the rear light is found. You'll see it because it's the one part of the bike that's highlighted in gray.
So what could this mean with regards to a possible production version of the RC213V-S? Truth be told, I'm only speculating here, but I'm skeptical about Honda's plans to green light production for the bike. Maybe it'll change its mind in the future, but for now, these patent images are probably for that specific part of the bike and not necessarily a piece to the RC213V-S puzzle.
Honda's probably using the concept as an example on what the specific part could look like and then turn around and use it on other models as components to their overall configuration. It's not the most optimistic of assumptions, but that's where I'm at right now.
Don't get me wrong. I'm still clinging to whatever sliver of hope there is that Honda eventually green lights a production run for the RC213V-S. But without any kind of confirmation from the company itself, I'm not going out on this particular limb.
Continue reading to read more about Honda's patent images of the RC213V-S.
If there's an instance where I'd love to be proven wrong, it's this one. I'm with all of you. I want to see a production version of the RC213V-S hit the street sooner than later. Actually, I don't mind it being "later" for as long as Honda confirms that it's hitting production.
But without that announcement, all we can grasp at right now are speculations and in this instance, patent images that really show nothing different with the concept version other than the aforementioned section at the rear of the bike.
I'm tempted to just strip away all my doubts, put on my Mr. Optimistic hat, and say that this is a clear sign that Honda's cooking up some kind of plan to turn the RC213V-S into an actual production machine. But I won't do that because all the signs seem to point to disappointment if I decide to travel that road.
So I'll hold off on making any bold predictions for now. What's important is that these patent images could be related to Honda's plans for the RC213V-S. That, or they could be totally unrelated to the bike to begin with.
Either way, the speculation continues.


Night guards are important devices that can preserve or correct certain range-of-motion issues that commonly affect people's jaws. One of the most common issues that a nightguard can easily address is grinding. Also known as bruxism, grinding is a very common ailment that's typically noticed by those around us. Grinding, while a seemingly harmless stress reaction, can cause long-term damage to the teeth and enamel if left uncorrected. Another common issue that is similar to grinding is the issue of clenching. Whereas grinding really affects the tissue of the teeth and enamel, clenching affects the jaw most acutely. This can lead to a sore jaw and in severe cases, dislocation.
The most effective way to address these problems is a custom-made night guard from Yorkshire Family Dentistry. Using an impression of your teeth, we will create a night guard just for you that will fit comfortably and won't affect your breathing.
For more information about our custom night guards and how they can help you, call Yorkshire Family Dentistry to schedule an appointment. We are conveniently located at 3212 Hampton Hwy., Yorktown, VA 23693.

Q: Custom field PHP in WordPress I am trying my luck at PHP (which I have very limited experience with). I have a custom field set up using PHP with a WordPress plugin called GiveWP.
The custom field is to specify where the person wants their donation to go to support. I then added PHP to add that to an email tag so that admin and the donor can see what was entered in that field. Problem is, the codes aren't matching up to show in the notification email what was entered. It just says "No support data found".

The page I need help with: http://dev1.igniswebdesign.com/donate/

A: It looks like give_get_payment_meta() isn't returning the data.
Try replacing $payment_meta = give_get_payment_meta( $payment_id ); with this instead.
$payment_meta = esc_attr(get_post_meta($payment_id, 'give_support', true));

Introduction: Of mirrors, handcuffs and investigations.
Notes: This chapter has undergone a major rewrite.
The mirror on the ceiling, the round bed with plush red coverings and heart-shaped pillows, and delicate laced trimmings made both women stare in dumbfounded silence.
The tempting odour of strawberries and chocolate beckoned, the scents intertwining in delicious unison, tickling the nerve endings, a light caress of smells hinting at pleasures that had been sampled in this room. It was like being an olfactory voyeur.
Reya and Colonel Strevins stiffened their spines and hardened their eyes, becoming the consummate professionals.
The deep scowl on Strevins face made the soldier by the door stand straighter and the hint of a smile disappeared from his face
"These are not the normal fixtures in this room," said Strevins.
"I would hope not." Reya managed to keep an even tone, despite the memory of the contents of her own room. Someone had been very creative setting out the furnishings in both rooms. "We need to check for surveillance equipment."
Strevins lips thinned. "Yes. It would be logical." Signalling to the guard to get a ladder, she tapped fingers to her lips, studying the younger woman for a moment before saying, "Your room is arranged like this?"
"Fortunately not." Reya avoided her penetrating stare and wondered if the grim woman was hiding a sense of humour. She was very glad they weren't starting with her room first, though they would have to get to it eventually.
The wood-grained table next to the bed drew her attention.
"But you were affected by the drug?" She stripped the soft covers off the bed with a single pull, letting them drop to the side.
Reya glanced over quickly, keeping her head still as she searched for surveillance equipment along the back edge of the table and the lamp. "Yes we were." She firmly ordered herself not to blush.
There was a curved-necked pitcher of water and two lip-stained glasses on the table and the single drawer slid smoothly to the touch. She rummaged through it.
A few scented candles, self-lighting. It gave the drawer a light rose scent. A pile of towels with lime green stripes. And a turned out grey sock. She stared at it; her eyebrows rose, not sure if she wanted to know what happened to the other one, or this one for that matter.
The guard came back with a long ladder.
Colonel Strevins climbed up, examining the mirrored ceiling. Feeling the edges, she grunted softly and pushed it to the side. A recessed indentation revealed hidden surveillance equipment. She peered at the dials and dull indicators. "It's inactive. There's no power."
Reya stared up with a look of disgust. There had to be one in her room too and she was going to find out who was responsible and rip their eyes out. "That model has a limited range."
"Then…" Strevins climbed down, holding the offending object in her hands and looking towards the door and the guard who stood by it. The man winced slightly, probably wondering if she suspected him.
"Then the receiver must be in this building," said Strevins.
"Someone working on the inside…"
"Yes. And we're going to find them." Strevins rushed out.
It felt like they were like shutting the door after the thieves had made off with the jewels, but they had to try.
Reya ran after her.
Sester leaned casually against the wall, swinging a pair of handcuffs, a faintly amused smile on his lips. "Where did you get these from?"
Sitting at a table across from Avon, with the wolf next to the table, his head peaking over the side, Argus grimaced and tried to sound casual. "We found it. In the drawer."
"You had to put them on," said Avon.
"Yes…well…" He coughed, and his ears turned slightly pink. "I was curious."
"Of course you were."
The wolf sneezed, puffing out a breath of moist air over Avon's hand.
"Didn't you have these in your room?" asked Argus.
The decisiveness of the reply made Argus smile. "Are you sure?"
"Certain." Avon 'glared' at him, hoping it would prevent any further questions. He did not want questions as to what had been in his room, though the idea that the commander and Colonel Strevins were investigating...was discomforting.
The sliver of a smile escaped briefly and touched his lips. Cally had found the mirror quite…interesting. And the chocolate fondue and strawberries had been entertaining.
"Cally might not have told you," said Argus.
"She would have told me."
Sester chuckled, the handcuffs swinging slowly from his fingers. "She probably found more interesting things in their room."
The 'glare' was directed at both of them. "I will not dignify that with a response."
"You just did." Sester smirked as he stuffed one loop of the handcuffs into his jacket and opened up the drawer next to the bed. A second pair of handcuffs made him laugh quietly, along with a thick black piece of cloth. "Now this is fascinating."
Argus looked away, his ears a crimson red. "No it isn't."
"What is it?" Avon tilting his head, and Sharp Eyes did the same.
"Something long and black and…" Sester held the cloth up by its end, dangling it like a stripper who had just removed a choice piece of apparel.
"It's not important," said Argus, trying to inject a firm note of command into the proceedings, and failing miserably because he was now blushing furiously.
The wolf's soulful brown eyes regarded the object, and he whined a soft query. * What is the purpose of this cloth? *
"I believe people call it a blind fold," said Sester, in response to Avon's question. There was a twitch at the corner of his lips, quickly suppressed.
* Humans are strange creatures. *
* Welcome to my life, * said Avon.
Sharp Eyes turned to Avon, nudging the back of his hand with a moist nose. * You have much patience, Avon Alpha."
The young wolf abruptly lifted his head, nose sniffing urgently. There was something at the edge of his hearing.
Avon sat up sharply, his body hard with tension. "What's wrong?"
* A noise… * The wolf turned his head this way and that, angling his ears to pick up the slightest of noises. They flicked with acute attention.
"What is it, Avon?" Argus instantly leaned closer, pressing against the edge of the table, his eyes intent on Avon's face, and his wolf-inspired senses at work.
"The wolf hears something." He stood up, knocking the table against Argus's abdomen and his hand instinctively reaching out for the wolf's head, needing the reassurance of his borrowed eyes.
Sester twisted the blindfold in his hands and pulled it tight. "What does he hear?"
The wolf padded forward with Avon following. His deep breaths and the soft click of his nails punctuated the silence the others heard, his ears twitched constantly and his bright eyes searched high and low.
"He's not sure." He felt the tension of the bunched muscles as they moved smoothly beneath his fingers.
"I…think I hear it," said Argus. It was a familiar hiss. Shock widened his eyes. "Avon!" He gripped the table, his head heavy with sleep, and his only thought to get Avon out of the room.
The wolf shook his head violently, and would have knocked Avon off his feet if he wasn't already grabbing for the wall and sliding down, his legs rubbery. "Gas…" His eyes glazed as he saw Argus reached towards him. "Have to…get…away…" He slumped over, fast asleep.
Sester had landed gracefully on the bed, snoring gently, his hands still gripping the blindfold.
"There's only one other place we haven't checked," said Colonel Strevins. The corridor echoed with the sound of their matched, booted footsteps. The military precision was intimidating but they didn't notice.
"Because it's the least likely of places," said Reya. She had been impressed with the Colonel's quick and efficient security staff, but it didn't change the fact that they hadn't found anything. The uneasy feeling this was an inside job was becoming stronger by the minute.
Was the helpful Colonel not so helpful after all?
"We'll check it anyway." Strevins lead the way to other guest room. She was a lean figure in a dark green uniform, and her easy stride made her seem younger.
"I'm impressed with your corridors," said Reya.
They almost seemed like sisters, one a younger version of the other. Reya's dark blue Athol uniform seemed a bit more elegant but that was a minor detail. They moved fluidly and with strength; authority was part of their uniform.
Strevins grunted softly. "You mean the lack of alcoves, large wall-hangings, or dark corners?"
"I've never understood the need for hazardous security features."
"It wasn't always like this."
"Oh?" Reya turned to look at her. The instant feeling of kinship she felt with Strevins had not abated. She hoped the truth would not be disappointing.
A soldier nearly brained himself with his rifle as he snapped to attention when he saw them. Strevins stared at him in passing as she replied, "It was one of the things I did away with when I was appointed Chief Security Officer. I insisted on it."
Reya chuckled. "I imagine that went over well."
"I'm not here to win popularity contests." She added with a biting note of sarcasm, "Unlike most people here."
"You're not like most of the people we've met here."
"I'm from the South," said Strevins as if it made perfect sense.
Strevins opened the door before Reya could announce their arrival. Their eyes widened and they staggered, each one reaching for the door frame.
In the room was a single occupant, the wolf lying on its side, its flanks barely moving.
"Gas!" said Reya, shaking her head, trying to stay awake. Hazy eyes strained and she breathed deeply. The wolf seemed to be alive at least. If they could…
She slammed her hand on the control panel and the door closed.
"Y-yes…" Strevins leaned against the frame. "Have to…lock down." She staggered towards a comm panel down the corridor, hanging onto walls that seemed to be moving. "E-mer-gency! Lock-down pro-ce-dures!" She took a struggling breath and repeated it, this time clearer.
The corridors erupted in the wail of sirens.

We often enjoy finding unique entertainment acts for events and in the past few weeks we have been absolutely delighted to discover the excellent Robert Duncan, who draws cartoons at conferences across the UK. Why should you book a cartoonistfor a conference? Read on to find out why!
When it comes to booking entertainment for a conference, there are a whole raft of options available to event organisers. Naturally the speakers and host for the day will have to be worked out far in advance but as far as everything else goes, there is quite a lot of leeway as far as the rest of the conference goes.
Many clients for conferences like to book entertainment for when guests arrive or to break up the day. Sometimes they will book an interactive form of entertainment like Boom Whackers (everybody makes music together) or CSI (solve a crime!) to enhance teamwork amongst the conference attendees or perhaps book a strolling act – a magician or caricaturist to keep things light and fun. Today though, we thought we would offer up a unique form of entertainment that has proven to be a hit at innumerable conferences and corporate days.
You can book Robert Duncan the cartoonist to bring a completely new form of entertainment to your event. Sitting in a corner for the day, Robert will pay close attention to the goings on at the conference and draw up to 25(!) cartoons that sum up the occasion. From topical moments where things might go wrong to key phrases that encompass a particular speaker, there is a lot to enjoy and the best bit is, you can put a camera on Robert throughout, ensuring that everybody sees his sketches as and when he comes up with them.
And we haven't even got to the best bit! Once the conference is over and everybody has gone home, the conference organisers or company responsible for putting on the event get to keep the original drawings to frame in offices and Robert will digitally scan each and every one when he draws them, with his clients able to use their drawings for whatever reason they see fit from that moment on. Want to use them in an advert? Go ahead. Looking to utilise a particular drawing on the front of a widely-seen brochure? No problem. They are yours to use in perpetuity.
A truly excellent and different choice for conferences and corporate events, we highly recommend booking Robert Duncan for your next event.

I am happy to see 2010 go. I can safely say it was the worst year of my life. Not that anything majorly bad happened, but nothing life changing happened either. I feel like I didn't get anywhere in life. I feel like I am in the same spot I was a year ago when I was saying goodbye to 2009.
If I could sum up 2010 in one word, it would be struggle. I feel like I have struggled in so many areas. I struggled to get fit and get into an exercise habit, here I am and I haven't exercised in two months. We struggled financially, I went back to work full time and we cancelled our trip to BC. I sure loved working part time, it was ideal. We struggled to conceive a child, after 8 cycles of fertility drugs, I still have an empty womb and an aching heart. I struggled with my relationship with God, trying to grow closer to Him, loving Him as much as I can, trying to live a life that pleases Him. I struggled with myself, trying to figure out if the person I am is the person I want to be.
I know I am focusing on all the negative right now, but I need to mourn. 2010 was a very hard year for me. I am hoping and praying that 2011 will be dramatically different, in a good way. I am nervous about more disappointment, but excited for new possibilities.
My resolution this year is to not just sit around waiting for life to happen. I am going to make life happen. I am going to have an amazing year, and when I sit here next year and write my review of 2011, it is going to be awesome. I am going take advantage of the time Eric and I have while it is just the two of us. Going to Disneyworld is sure a great start! I leave in 14 days!! Eric leaves in 19!

Q: Custom download manager javascript A file sharing website known as mega.com has a feature that creates a custom download manager. When you download a file, it shows a custom progress bar on the website (presumably loading the file to the cache), then creates a download prompt for the cached file. How would this be produced with javascript?

A: As far as I know, Mega.com uses this inner download manager because they store data on their servers in an encrypted form; encryption and decryption take place in the browser.
Storage
You can use IndexedDB to store binary data. Here's a tutorial from Mozilla, explaining how to download an image using AJAX and save it in IndexedDB.
When you have data stored in IndexedDB you should have opportunity to download it (from internal browser storage). Here you can read, how to create a download prompt.
Progress bar
When using XMLHttpRequest, you can get download progress by providing a handler for the progress event.
var oReq = new XMLHttpRequest();

oReq.addEventListener("progress", updateProgress, false);

[...]

function updateProgress (oEvent) {
  if (oEvent.lengthComputable) {
    var percentComplete = oEvent.loaded / oEvent.total;
    // ...
  } else {
    // Unable to compute progress information since the total size is unknown
  }
}

Total size of the file would be unavailable if server didn't send Content-Length with headers.
Full source code and description on MDN.

A: There is a complete answer for your question: http://tonistiigi.github.io/mega/.

If you want to create a download manager in JavaScript, these articles will help you do your work:

Through curiosity, embodiment, and choice, a trauma-sensitive yoga practice has the power to bring about peacebuilding from within.
This anti-oppressive approach to healing supports recovery from individual and collective long-term trauma through movement, present moment experiences, and choice. TCTSY was developed by David Emerson at the The Center for Trauma and Embodiment as an empirically validated, adjunctive clinical treatment for complex trauma or PTSD.
Trauma Center-Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is a movement and breath-based practice that is informed by understandings of complex trauma, attachment theory, and neuroscience. It can be used with people of all ages, and is accessible to everyone, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, body type, or physical ability.
Participants are invited to make choices throughout the practice: these choices could be about their bodies, senses, or movements. Intentional language cues are offered to support each person investigate what choices support their own experience. This is an opportunity to meet themselves where they are at.
The TCTSY approach engages participants and practitioners in a shared experience of choice-making and body-centered self-awareness to support the recovery process. Applying this technique over time, sensations noticed in the body might start to become useful resources for making choices in daily life. A trauma-sensitive yoga practice invites the participant on a journey of self-discovery — to support this, there are no physical assists provided.

Brock University Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies Main MARS Statement in Support of Diversity and Social Justice
The Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies welcomes all who are interested in studying and teaching the medieval and early modern worlds. We echo the Renaissance Society of America's statement in support of "equality, social justice, and fairness for the Black, Brown, Asian, and Indigenous communities who are most adversely affected by white supremacism, as so starkly revealed during the COVID-19 pandemic." We stand in solidarity with those who fight against institutional racism in Canadian society and in other societies around the globe. We invite students to learn about the complexity of medieval and early modern attitudes towards racial, ethnic, religious, and gender differences, and about the vibrant forms of cultural exchange and hybridity of the premodern age, which offer historical perspective on our own time. In the following web resources, we encourage you to explore and learn about current discussions and perspectives that promote diversity and social justice in medieval and early modern studies.

Q: linking error with cppunit, cmake, ubuntu I am sorry this probably a complete noob question but I am getting desperate. I am trying to get cppunit running with KDevelop/CMake on Ubuntu
I installed libcppunit-dev:
markus@hp-notebook:~$ apt-cache policy libcppunit-dev
libcppunit-dev:
  Installed: 1.12.1-4
  Candidate: 1.12.1-4
  Version table:

        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

My CMakeLists.txt looks like this:
project(simpletest)

include_directories(/usr/local/include/)
link_directories(/usr/lib/)

add_executable(simpletest main.cpp)
LINK_LIBRARIES(simpletest cppunit)

and my simpletest like this:
#include <iostream>

#include <cppunit/ui/text/TestRunner.h>
#include <cppunit/CompilerOutputter.h>
#include <cppunit/TestFixture.h>
#include <cppunit/extensions/HelperMacros.h>

int main() {
    CppUnit::Test* suite = CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry().makeTest();

    CppUnit::TextUi::TestRunner runner;
    runner.addTest(suite);
    runner.setOutputter(new CppUnit::CompilerOutputter(&runner.result(), std::cerr));

    return runner.run() ? 0 : 1;
}

If I simply do a:
g++ simpletest.cpp -lcppunit -o simpletest.bin

Everything compiles and links just fine. But if I build using CMake I get linker errors:
/home/markus/projects/simpletest/build> make

Since its working when invoking g++ directly I assume that all the libraries are there and working (no compiler hickup, etc.) but that the problem is with my CMake file.
- How is the library declaration supposed to work - e.g. is the library called libcppunit or just cppunit.
I assume that I am just making some stupid mistake but any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Okay I just found the mistake. I used LINK_LIBRARIES instead of target_link_libraries
This CMakeLists.txt works just fine:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(simpletest)

add_executable(simpletest main.cpp)
target_link_libraries  (simpletest cppunit)

Program Benefit: The Program will provide a competitive 30-year fixed rate mortgage with a homebuyers grant of a small percentage of the original mortgage amount to qualifying low and moderate income homebuyer families throughout the participating Parishes in Louisiana. The program will offer assistance to qualified homebuyer families that can be used for down payment, closing costs, pre-paid items, or to buy out the mortgage insurance on the loan. The assistance is in the form of a soft second mortgage (zero interest and zero payments) which is forgivable at a rate of 1/84th of the original principal amount of the soft second mortgage per month over a seven (7) year period. If the first mortgage loan is paid off for any reason during the seven (7) year forgiveness period the unforgiven amount of the soft second mortgage shall be due and payable.
Program Mortgage Rate: The mortgage rate for the program will be slightly above market rate and vary depending on the Down Payment Assistance Option chosen. The program mortgage rates are subject to change daily in order to remain competitive with the market. Approved lenders can provide clients with program mortgage rates upon request.
Program Size: This is a continuous program. Unlike a Bond Money Program, we will never run out of funding as this program is tied to a daily mortgage interest rate.
Program Period: The program is available immediately and CAFA intends to make the program available to provide for continuous origination as long as it delivers a competitive mortgage and grant product that meets the needs of homebuyers and lenders.
Eligible Mortgagors: The normal tax-exempt bond or MCC program requirements (income & purchase limit, and first-time homebuyer requirement) will NOT apply.
Eligible Loans: Freddie Mac HFA Advantage Program. Minimum FICO score and maximum debt-to-income (DTI) ratio are set by the approved lenders and subject to automated underwriting system (AUS) approval. All first-time homebuyers under the program are required to take an approved homebuyer education course.
To participate in the Authority's programs, homebuyers must originate their mortgage through one of our participating lenders. These lenders will work with you to determine if you meet the qualifications to be eligible for a mortgage through the Authority.
For Federally Declared Disaster Census Tracts - the Income Limits on the HFA Advantage Conventional Loan Product have been lifted. Certain Louisiana Census Tracts have NO INCOME LIMITS on CAFA's Conventional Loan Products. Ask your lender for more information!
