Nice work mate, I can see how much effort and time was spent. I was really looking forward to the release but unfortunately I don't like the tables game play. No disrespect just not a fan of the table, cheers!

*** Version 1.4 Description ***
I made a few minor changes. The Bounce Control menu used the wrong screen on version 1.3 so I changed it. Popotte uses an AZERTY keyboard. When he pressed A to change the balls per game with the keyboard, he would open the BAM menu at the same time. BAM defaults to using Q to open the menu. On an AZERTY keyboard, the Q translates to A for some reason. So I changed the keyboard code to E to change the balls per game. I also made some minor changes on the rotated display version.
In case you forgot, the Special 2 key opens the menu.
One of the guys noticed a problem on Version 1.2. The ball on this table was not visible though the windows on the plastics for the ball locks although the playfield was visible through them. I hadn't noticed it before and have to say it is one of the oddest things I have seen on FP. I found the problem was Tomasaco's custom models for the plastics. I fixed them by replacing Tomasaco's models of the two plastics with standard surfaces. I managed to make the standard surfaces look like Tomasaco's models so you won't miss them.
I decided to add some of the new features that are available now. I have always wanted to be able to open the menu system during a game. If you have played some of my previous table mods, you know that the menu fills the entire screen. Popotte was able to add some coding that pauses the ball movement when you open the menu and then resumes ball play when you close the menu. Thank you Popotte! The menu still opens using the Special 2 key but now you can press the same key to open it when a game is in play. It is really cool! Be aware that you need to be prepared to hit the flippers when you close the menu during a game. In order to avoid some possible fast flips when you close the menu, you may want to wait to open the menu when the ball is in the launch lane before you press the plunger key. That way the ball can't go anywhere when you close the menu. Be aware that it was necessary to remove the "Balls Per Game" option from the in-game menu. It would mess up your game if you try to change it during a game. You can only change "Balls Per Game" before you press the start game key.
On version 1.2, I was never really satisfied with the lighting of the model of the space shuttle. The version of BAM that added the spotlight feature came too late to add to this table. So I have added them now. I ended up adding spotlights to all the general illumination flashers because there was light spillage from them onto the space shuttle and messing up the shadows from the two spots intended to illuminate it.
A new feature was added on BAM Update v341 that is called ball shadows with ray casting. It is a dynamic type of ball shadow that changes as the ball travels past lights. I think it is a feature completely unique to Future Pinball. At the time of this writing, BAM Update v341 is the most current version of BAM. I added what is called fail safe coding that will turn the feature off if you have not upgraded to BAM 341. The feature is a little resource heavy. If you are having trouble with resources, there are directions in the script on how to disable it.
I added a mod from another BAM version to improve the performance of the spinner. I used Tomasaco's model for the spinner. It didn't seem too perform badly before the change but I do like it better with the change.
I developed a new flipper rotation speed chart for this table. It improves the characteristics of the flippers and you should be able to do tricks a little more easily.
Table Developers: Sepeteus, Tomasaco, Popotte, GeorgeH
1. Changed plastics over the ball locks so the ball is visible through the window.
2. Added 2 spotlight flashers that shine on the shuttle.
3. Revised the rest of the general illumination flashers to use spotlights so they don't shine on the shuttle.
4. Added a new flipper rotation speed chart to the XML.
5. Added ball shadows using ray casting available on new BAM Update v340.
6. Made the degree of bounce off flippers adjustable in-game.
7. Added Paolo's sound for ball bouncing off flippers.
8. Updated menu system to add items for adjusting degree of bounce off flippers and On/Off for sound of ball bouncing off flippers.
9. Added spinner physics mod available on BAM Update v334
10. Added in-game menu which pauses motion of ball when menu is open while game is in play.
"Space Shuttle" from Williams is the first solid state production pinball machine to have a playfield toy. Of course, it is the model of the space shuttle. Sepeteus published his version of this table on Future Pinball back in 2011. I have updated it with the latest features of BAM and added models and textures from Tomasaco.
I never really played this table very much until I added what I call a "Sound Level Control Panel" in the script. Many of the original sounds were too loud and others were too soft so this option evens out the sound. You can use it to perform global adjustments the sound levels for 4 categories of sound used on the table. The default settings will probably work for you for those of you that aren't up to tinkering.
I also added what I call a "Lighting Control Panel" in the script. You can make global adjustments to the lighting there for the 5 lighting modes for Day, Night, Dark Night, Night Glow and FP Original modes.
You can press the Special 2 key to open the menu system. There are 5 menu options where you can make changes to the set up. These are the menu options:
1) Select one of the 5 lighting modes listed above.
2) Select to illuminate the instruction cards on the apron or turn them off.
3) Select to control the lane lights for the U-S-A rollovers to use either both flippers or the right flipper only. If you want the table to play like the original table, you need to select the right flipper only. If you have played other tables, it feels awkward to control the lane lights with only the right flipper.
4)Select 3 or 5 balls per game.
5) Turn the Heads Up Display (HUD) on or off.
The menu will only open before you start the game. Each menu item has a "keyboard code" listed in the upper right corner of the screen. You can press the "keyboard code" to make changes during a game (except for balls per game). I change the lighting frequently so I tend to remember to press the "L" key during a game to change the lighting. I usually don't remember the codes for the other options because I only set them once using the menu.
BAM has a global option that turns the HUD off on all tables. It may be used by some pinball cabinet users. The menu won't work if you use this option. If the HUD is enabled, the menu will display unsqueezed on a pinball cabinet.
The table loading screen defaults to a widescreen texture named "!LoadingLandscape" that is good for desktop users. The pinball cabinet users can switch to a texture named "!LoadingPortrait" that will not be squeezed.
All the other features are discussed at the web link below but include the following:
1) Added new textures for the backglass and the table loading screen.
2) Added game room floor and backwall.
3) Added new instruction cards.
4) Added custom physics and dynamic flippers using emkickers on the slingshots.
5) Added a message that looks at BAM version that verifies you are using the correct version of BAM.
6) Added ball/flipper shadows and ball configuration to the script.
Added shadow maps.
7) Added plunger pull special script that allows you to easily select how far you pull back on the plunger.
8) Added bulbs that provide a halo which shines through the slingshots. .
This web link includes discussion of all the features added:
https://pinballnirvana.com/forums/index.php?threads/space-shuttle.20071/
Sepeteus added a rulesheet to version 1.1. I converted it to a PDF file, edited it and added screenshots of the parts of the table discussed. I also added a link to a video that does a good job of explaining the rules.
The download includes four library files that you need to save to your folder "Libraries". They are identical to the library files that were part of the original 1.1 version. There is no need to replace the libraries for this table if you installed version 1.1.
The download also has a high resolution version of the playfield texture that may be useful on a 4K display. The texture that is installed is actually high resolution also at 2048x4096. The version in the folder is higher res at 2155x4520 but it does not use "power of 2" so it will require more memory to load. The installed playfield texture should be sufficient for a desktop PC.
I added a version of the table that I call "rotated display". This is intended for those of us that have a desktop PC and can rotate the monitor so it is in portrait format. It improves the display if you are able to orient your monitor this way. I added a screenshot of it. This version will not be useful on pinball cabinets or on PCs which have a normal landscape orientation. The download includes a PDF file with directions on how to set up this version of the table.
Slamt1lt's "Aliens Legacy" is a very good table although I don't play it very much because the rules are so complex. I like to play "Space Shuttle" because the rules are pretty simple and it is fun to play. If you have played the real table, you will find that Sepeteus did a good job implementing the same rules as the original table. The main change I made to the rules are for the controls to switch the lane lights and I made them switchable so you can play it exactly like the original table (discussed above). The real table has 3 balls per game although I think there is a way to change it in the service menu. Everything I added is to make the table look and play better. I moved some smaller objects (mostly pegs) a tiny amount to make the table play better and be able to hit all the objects on the table. I started with my settings for the lighting I used on Attack From Mars and improved them on this table. I consider this table to have my best lighting. I think I got everything just right and hope you enjoy it.

by Tim Gilmore, 6/19/2012
It was the way movie theatres were built. They would come to be called "movie palaces," and the architecture loosely described as "high style."
He likes to believe that every cultural act ever performed in a building like this leaves some kind of residue. The building is thick with it. Like layers and layers of the thickened syrup plasters of history. Including tonight.
Built in 1926, on the former location of a police station and jail, the Florida Theatre's interior golden-brown stucco itself feels thick. The motif that architect Roy Benjamin incorporated into the depths of the theatre was a "Moorish courtyard at night." You stand by the telephone alcove off from the lobby and feel the interior of the building receding into itself. The building is a womb nesting inner recesses inside inner recesses. On certain nights, the telephone alcove becomes the building's sanctum sanctorum.
The building was designed to be ancient when it was new, and now it's grown much older than its accumulation of years.
Elvis Presley was forbidden, upon threat of arrest, to shake his hips here. Before him, vaudeville troupes legally and without offense to their audiences, wore blackface here. Within a week of each other in 2012, Jane's Addiction sang "Been Caught Stealing" and a 13 year-old dancer from a local studio danced part of the Cyclone from The Wizard of Oz and "Ease on Down the Road" from The Wiz.
"But," he said, "I remember it was almost Christmas, 1953, and I was standing by that alcove for the telephones, and this woman came out from those brown folding doors, and I had never seen her before. She looked me deep in the eyes, and I watched her eyes move from one of my own eyes to the other. She told me I had a phone call.
"I stepped down into the little room with the telephones. I picked up the phone. I said hello. I heard a woman's voice I did not seem to know, and she said, 'I can't hold it up much longer. It's getting heavy.' Her voice was breathy.
"I said, 'Who is this?'
"She called herself Mrs. Blackburn. She told me she was going to be my mother's English teacher and that in five years, my mother would graduate high school, that my mother would give birth to me late in her own life, but that I was to remember I was already here, that the year was 1953, that the Florida Theatre was not even 30 years old, but that when it was 85 years old, 26 years after my mother was dead, I would watch my daughter dance on the stage beneath the proscenium arch and its 65-ton girders.
"Mrs. Blackburn told me I would buy the house she lived in just off Pinegrove Avenue, but that she could never know it. Nor, of course, could my mother.
"'And if you can never know it, whoever you are, how is it you're telling me this?' I asked her, but she only told me that time was stranger than I knew. 'And for all you know,' she said, 'I might be calling you from sometime before either of us was born, or from sometime after both of us are dead.'
"And then two things occurred to me simultaneously. I both remembered one distinct night in the past and remembered, as it were, a night that had not yet happened.
"In the process, I wondered if Mrs. Blackburn knew I was talking to her. Perhaps she was decades dead before I ever learned of her.
"In the process, I wondered if I were talking to a ghost, I wondered if I myself were years or decades or longer dead, and I wondered if my great-great-grandchildren could once feel me in the room with them, even now, even as I say these words, even as I watch their reactions and long to touch them.
"And I remembered when Mitchell played the Mighty Wurlitzer and we danced on the roof of the Florida Theatre, seven stories above the streets, looking down on the brick and limestone and terra-cotta-faced structures all around us, looking down on the river, and the lambent lights reflected thereon, and watched how the river itself mocked our ideas of time and memory, first metaphorically and then literally, until we saw that in the present moment we were ghosts, and that there is no present moment, and that there is no present moment.
"And I waited there in the telephone alcove, when the night happened that had not happened.
"At the dress rehearsal, my daughter, you stood there in green tulle and chignon, stood en pointe, Emerald City around you, the focus blurs, the focus blurs, the angles of your face both strong and soft, and upon the way you move, and upon the way the others move about you, I said to myself, 'I have nothing but my own ignorance and my own smallness.'"
But seeing toward the past to pivot toward the time to come, he thinks to be thankful for such smallness, for the state of wonder in which it places him.
He does not have the vocabulary to describe even the movements of her arms. The way her arms move out from her body and from her face mimics something in the garden and something in time. History might move this way, but it is bigger than him. He does not know if he is even as large as the arc of her wrist somewhere in one second on stage beneath the proscenium arch and between staircases to back spaces behind and above the audiences.
"Who are you?" he says into the phone, and Mrs. Blackburn says she has taught his mother to write and his mother will sometime think to write and will, but she will not call herself a writer, but he will, and that he will name his daughter after the oldest sacred texts on the planet Earth, and that she is a writer too (even then she was already writing).
He will never figure out his own role. He stands between a trillion telephone exchanges in the alcove. In 1961, Jacksonville had five exchange names. Exchange names were based in streets or neighborhoods. You dialed the first two letters of the name, followed by the phone number:
Exbrook
Poplar.
Call me. Evergreen 65-123.
Such small differences. It's such small distances that seem irreconcilable. It's the closeness of ghosts that haunts us so. If we were much further apart, we might not recognize ourselves to haunt ourselves, but we are just close enough to miss one another. Do you see me? Just reach forward. Kiss me. Or cut me. Just reach forward (or backward). I will kiss you. Or cut you. Just reach.
I can feel your warmth in Evergreen and Poplar. You are so close to me I can smell you.

Mile 0. | NO PANTS? NO PROBLEM.
So today's travel agenda is to get the van checked out for journeying. I'm also taking the opportunity to visit a few people and take care of some last minute business in Portland. Depending on heat I expect to head down to KV and then east to Bend. It's supposed to be another miserable hot day today.. for once I might actually be looking towards a trip over Santiam Pass just for the cooler weather.
← Mile.. well I guess -18?


The chinese telecommunication equipment company ZTE - with a research and development centre in Xi'an - introduces for the first time in Germany its products and solutions for the future mobile communications standard LTE (Long Term Evolution). In a showcase for Vodafone, ZTE demonstrates its leading position in integrated mobile broadband solutions for the 4th generation of radio technologies (4G).
With its SDR technology (Software Defined Radio) ZTE enables network operators a cost-efficient and fast closure of supply gaps in the broadband area as well as a cost-saving buildup of a commercial LTE network while maintaining a parallel operation of different networks within the same basis stations. The new mobil communications standard LTE - which will provide users with more bandwidth, faster transfer rates and high speed access to mobile web applications - will be established step by step throughout Germany in 2010.
"With our solutions for the 4th generation of radio technologies we are able to respond very flexible to all requirements of network operators. In our SDR basis stations it is possible to operate all mobile communication standards, and that greatly decreases the costs for providers and is at the same time eco-friendly and space saving" said Dr. Zhigang Zhang, Vice President for ZTE Europe and North-America.
ZTE - being a pioneer in the field of "Next Generation Networks" (NGN) - is involved in the development of LTE technology since quite a time now and supports network providers to commercialize the new standard.
Xi'an plays an important role: More than 2000 engineers in ZTE's development centre in Xi'an are researching and developing LTE technology.
Just recently ZTE opened a new LTE research & development centre in USA (Richardson, Texas). To demonstrate LTE applications to a world wide audience, ZTE will establish an own LTE-network for the China pavillion during the Shanghai Expo 2010.
ZTE (Chinese: 中兴通讯) (Zhong Xing Telecommunication Equipment Company Limited) is a publicly-owned, Chinese corporation that designs and manufactures telecommunications equipment and systems.
Based in Shenzhen, and established in 1985 ZTE offers a wide variety of telecommunication products and services, including value-added services such as video on demand and streaming media to its customers, which are primarily telecommunications service providers, mobile network operators, etc.

By: Sara Fields
Narrated by: Ramona Masters, Guillaume Dubois
I was for sale, but he didn't buy me. He just took me. Exiled from Earth by a tyrannical government, I was meant to be sold for use on a distant world. But Vane doesn't buy things. When he wants something, he takes it, and I was no different. This alien brute didn't just strip me, punish me, and claim me with his whole crew watching. He broke me, making me beg for mercy and then for far more shameful things. Perhaps he would've been gentle if I hadn't defied him in front of his men, but I doubt it. He's not the gentle type.

Fated Mates Duet Series, Book 1
By: Jess Bryant
Narrated by: Elizabeth Hart
Zoey Kent has lived with that fact ever since she turned eighteen and learned that the man she loved could never be hers. He's a born shifter, a wolf, and she's a mere human. She isn't his fated mate and she's resigned herself to the knowledge that someday, she'll have to watch Michael mate with another. It's never crossed her mind that there might be someone else out there for her, that she would be the one to mate another, to choose another over everything she's ever known or wanted.
After years in foster care, Breanne Gallagher has the stable life she's always wanted, living with her foster sister and working as a chef. Then one devastating night, a hellish creature invades her apartment and shatters her fragile existence. Shifting between monster and man, it slaughters her foster sister and assaults Bree. Alone, wounded, her beloved home tainted by gruesome memories, Bree flees to a tiny wilderness town, following her only clue to her past.
Shape-shifting warriors Zeb and Shay move from one pack to another, hunting the hell-hounds which prey on their kind. Assigned to Cold Creek, they manage a decrepit fishing lodge for their "human" cover. Their first renter is a pretty human female who trembles at the sight of them - yet stands her ground. She's foolishly courageous, ferociously determined, and heartbreakingly hurt. Although shape-shifters aren't attracted to humans, this female's beauty and compelling scent ignites longings neither loner ever expected to face.
Bree is healing, learning to shoot the biggest pistol she can find, and overcoming her fears, especially of the two deadly, disconcertingly attractive hunters. Her life is back on track...until she tries to save a little girl from a hell-hound and discovers that everything she knows about herself is false.

What listeners say about Winter of the Wolf
V from Kansas
Duet narration is awesome!
Oh how I wish all audio books were performed with Duet narration. Duet narration has two narrators that preform the same characters throughout the book. Formerly, if two narrators were used, one did the chapters written from the Hero's point of view and the other did the chapters written from the Heroine's POV. As a result, both narrators performed many of the same characters, so the voices weren't always consistent. Duet is the way to go! I have to admit that the plot was pretty dang predictable. It had many similarities to book one; this was a bit disappointing. So far, this series has fallen short of most of her others. It's ok but not outstanding. I'm hoping that she just needs to get in the groove, of this world, and the plots will improve. I will stick with the series for, at least, a couple more books. -V from Kansas
I can't get enough of this series. I can listen over and over. Women with resilience, men with dominance and emotional intelligence, shifters and a while lot of steamy goodness. Narration on point. Buy the whole series. Trust me.
Melissa Hermann
Amazing sequel!
Once again, Sinclair does not disappoint!! Continuing this storyline, and building a community you can care about. The narrators do not disappoint as they take on more characters and bring their personalities to life!
Not for prudes!
Anyone who's read a Cherniss Sinclair book in the past shouldn't be surprised at the detailed passages of sex between 2 or even 3 - mates in this case. But as with her other work, the books have strong capable women who overcome adversity in a very real way and meet strong vulnerable alpha men. Together, story lines about all forms of love, family and home are explored using shifters and the paranormal. The love and suspense are all written beautifully.
Good story, lots of info to follow
Breanne, Zeb, and Shay come together under crazy circumstances and find a connection that they've always needed but never thought they would have. Breanne is trying to find out about her past..she's injured, scared, and frightened and thrown into a world she never imagined existed. When she figures it all out, she'll find a strength she never related she had. Zeb and Shay have been killing demons for years. When they are welcomed in Cold Creek, they finally have an opportunity to stop and heal their wounds from the past. Helping Bree is the best thing that could have happened to them..if only they can keep her alive long enough for her to realize it. I enjoyed the story, but there's a lot of different, shifter rules that aren't common, so the rituals and assumptions you may be used to are not present here. Bree is strong and fragile at the same time, but I swear she is so impulsive. It makes her loyalty more endearing asa you read. Zeb and Shay have been running for a while so to see them finally settle down and embrace their new calling was good to see. There were many time throughout the story that you wanted to smack all of them and say get over it, but eventually they figured it out. We got to see some new characters whom I'm sure will have upcoming stories, so there is more to Cold Creek moving forward. Alpha men, strong women, and wild sex ..you can't get any better with a Cherise book.
I normally do not give bad reviews but this book was awful. I couldn't even get past chapter 15. I will not be continuing this series.
PReveal
enjoyable audible
the journet to fine and a home is domethong you cant fight. can three shifters finally be home. The raw emotions will have you emjoying the journey
Good book as usual from Cherise
I realy like the duet narration, and Noah does a great job making the two males sound different.
if you are not into overdramatic and whiny female narrators, you might want to scip this audible and buy the book instead. the story is rather great, but the leading female in the book sounds through this narrator both weak and whining at almost all times during the narration. I slowed down to 80% speed just to get the sound down to a marginally more acceptable pich.
Great to listen too
This book I could not put down it had me from the first page to the last. Breanne was living with her foster-sister and working the job she loved until one night a hell hound came to her apartment to keep. Bree was alone and wounded she just packed up and drive to a tiny wilderness town. She could not get the nightmares to stop. But now is the time to get the book and find out what is going on in this small town with all the people.
Sappy fantasy romance, but in the best way!
Love Cherise Sinclair and her books, love this book as well (though maybe least from this series)! Its sappy and a bit predictable, but fun and a good listen if you like these kind of books.
Great escapism!
Love these stories. Read them first then got the audio versions. Callum and his brother are cracking base characters. So are the other mainstays of the village. Love the relationships, the witty and sarcastic conversations plus the idea of secret shifters appeals to me. A race in touch with nature with a strong moral code and a sense of family! What's not to like?! A touch of raunchy, anilastic sex also helps but there are also really tender moments that persuade tears to fall. 5 stars and can't wait for the next. It's one of my favourites!
A Shifter romance well worth getting!!
A shifter romance with a different storyline then most.. So I have to say I like this one as these type of books are my secret obsessions so its rare to find one that not the same old story but just different characters... Thank you xx
Book Monitor
A really good story with good narration.
So the second in the series and I was not disappointed. For me as good as the first, and although I think this would stand alone it is in my opinion better to read them in order. I really liked Breanne and both Shay and Zeb. I liked the suspense, the emotional tugs and the banal normality mixed in with the believable other-folk world of shifters, brownies, wolfy bits, and hideous hell-hounds. As usual the writing was excellent, easy to read but well thought out and the story flowed well with good pacing, and erotic sexy bits. If you like a different sort of romance or even just want to try it then this is an excellent series to start with. I have read this book several times but recently decided to listen to this as my first audio of this series. I have to say the narrators make a really good job of it. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this as an audible, but I'm glad I gave it a try- well worth it.
Jean Saint
Shifter Romance at it's best

Manchester Terminal, LLC is a 72.5-acre private marine terminal located at the intersection of the Houston Ship Channel and Sims Bayou. At the terminal, a stevedore company is contracted to handle the loading and unloading of break bulk cargo and to manage the transportation logistics from inbound and outbound trucks and rail.
Manchester Terminal's management team must ensure that the entire grounds and warehouses are conducive to highly-efficient operations, while at the same time meeting the strict requirements outlined in their Facility Security Plan mandated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) which is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
To maintain its solid reputation as a secure and efficient marine terminal for companies around the globe, Manchester Terminal decided to invest a large financial sum to upgrade its facilities and perimeter security by implementing the government-run security program Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). The TWIC program provides a tamper-resistant biometric credential to maritime workers requiring unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities.
In the process, the company also wanted to upgrade their video surveillance system to newer IP technology which would facilitate long-term growth and accommodate cutting-edge video devices such as thermal cameras for better nighttime visibility and intruder detection.
"We are a fully restricted facility and pride ourselves on having some of the most progressive technology in the industry to help secure our clients' assets," said Vincent Pilegge, President at Manchester Terminal LLC. "But it's not just about us; we're also conscious of the fact that there are several refineries right next door, and so safeguarding our facility also means that we are helping to protect our neighbours' assets and the community at large."
When it came down to selecting the new IP security solution, Manchester Terminal's team relied on the knowledge of highly-qualified engineers and consultants. They also engaged Genetec certified integrator, Preferred Technologies, who suggested the Security Center unified platform and according to Pilegge: "We ran with it!"
The decision to implement Security Center provides Manchester Terminal with easy management of both Omnicast IP video surveillance and the Synergis access control systems from a single unified back and front end. Spread throughout the expansive marine terminal are around 70 IP cameras which include AXIS Q6035-E PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) Dome Network Cameras, Pelco Sarix and SightLogix SightSensor thermal cameras, covering front gates, docks, waterways and facilities. The SightSensor thermal cameras with video analytics were specifically chosen to accurately detect intruders entering the perimeter, day and night. Fully integrated, the SightLogix thermal cameras can generate alarms within the Omnicast system when movement that violates security policy is detected.
On the access control side, Synergis manages several access control readers; five of which secure the entries and exits of their main operations facility, while the remainder are TWIC-compliant Rhino access control readers from Innometriks installed at the main gates. Instead of doing basic manual verifications of TWIC credentials, Manchester Terminal has taken things a step further by automating the authentication process with these high-tech readers. This streamlines the flow of traffic while only allowing authorized individuals onto their property.
According to Shaun Castillo, President at Pref Tech, "We also developed a custom integration between Genetec Security Center and TWIC-compliant handheld readers with identification and biometric matching software from IdSoftware. With hundreds of trucks coming and going, these handhelds allow the security guards to process credentials and inspect trucks that are lined up beyond the fixed TWIC readers, keeping the flow of traffic moving. The handhelds also allow them to go to the ship docs and check credentials for people coming off ships and spot check compliance around the facility."
The flexibility and openness of Security Center also gave Manchester Terminal the ability to easily integrate a brand new Asterisk Voice-over-IP (VoIP) intercom system, which is linked to their VoIP phone system. "This intercom integration lets operators make calls to VoIP intercom stations to directly address patrons who require assistance or who do not have the proper credentials to enter the facility. Security Center will also automatically associate the audio recording with the video device that is capturing the discussion," continues Castillo.
Other important features of the system for Manchester Terminal included Plan Manager, the map-based interface which lets guards easily find cameras on their expansive grounds, and the remote access capabilities offered to select management staff who can pull up video at any given moment, from anywhere in the world.
With their unified security platform in place, Manchester Terminal is not only keeping their facility operating at peak efficiency but also exceeding the requirements outlined in their Facility Security Plan.
"Thanks to this new technology, we have been able to add extra layers of security measures to our marine terminal, so no one can enter our property without the necessary credentials or being escorted," explains Pilegge. "The TWIC-compliance aspect has also made it much easier for our guards to conduct proper authentication by relying on government-issued credentials and actual thumb prints."
Simplifying day-to-day tasks has also been extended to the operation teams. With Security Center, Manchester Terminal has been able to significantly reduce the amount of manual logging and paperwork when keeping track of trucks, visitors and employees. Now, key personnel can automatically generate electronic reports for quick review, saving them considerable time.
With future plans to expand their security system by adding devices and capabilities, Manchester Terminal is confident in their choice: "Having a unified platform with both video and access control affords us the ability to make more accurate and quick decisions. Today, we have a very robust security system with the flexibility to grow. Security Center was a great long-term investment for our facility," concludes Pilegge.

Sushil Koirala all set to be the next Prime Minister of Nepal
IANS • January 26, 2014 •
Kathmandu: The Nepali Congress, the largest party in parliament, on January 26 named its president Sushil Koirala as its prime ministerial candidate, clearing a major hurdle in the formation of a new government in the Himalayan nation two months after the constituent assembly elections.
Sushil Koirala is the President and Leader of Nepali Congress
The Nepali Congress emerged as the largest political party in last year's Nov 19 polls for a new constituent assembly. But the new government could not yet be formed amid a row within the party over who should lead.
Three leaders, Koirala, senior leader Sher Bahadur Deuba and vice president Ram Chandra Poudel, were in the fray for the parliamentary party leader's post. Poudel, however, opted out of the race after Koirala agreed to anoint him as the party's acting president.
Of the total 194 votes cast, Koirala secured 105 votes while Deuba got 89. The Nepali Congress has 196 seats in the constituent assembly.
Deuba has already been the country's prime minister three times after the 1990 political change when multi-party parliamentary democracy was ushered in after a popular movement which ousted the erstwhile partyless panchayat polity. Koirala has not even served in any ministerial position during his 50-year political career.
Koirala, 75, is single and widely recognised as a "clean" politician in Nepal. Under his leadership, the Nepali Congress emerged as the single-largest party besting the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) in the Nov 19 polls.
Sushil Koirala belongs to Nepal's Koirala clan which, akin to the Nehru-Gandhi family of India and the Bhuttos of Pakistan, has been deeply involved in the country's democratic struggle.
If Sushil Koirala becomes prime minister, he will be the fourth from the Koirala family after Matrika Prasad Koirala (1951-52 and 1953-55), Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala (1959-60) and Girija Prasad Koirala (1991-94, 1998-99, 2000-01 and 2007-08).
Immediately after the announcement of his name as parliamentary party leader, Koirala told media persons that "it is the victory of the party, all its members and democracy… not me alone".
Deuba later called Koirala on phone and congratulated him upon being elected to the post.
Following Sunday's election, President Ram Baran Yadav is expected to soon call upon the political parties to form a new government in Nepal.
Though Koirala is eligible to become the prime minister as the leader of the largest party, he has yet to win support of either the second largest party Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) or the third largest party Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) in parliament.
Nepal, located between India and China, has been running under an interim constitution since the 2008 abolition of the centuries-old monarchy and a prolonged political deadlock that has crippled the economy.

Q: QGraphicsView scroll bar policy not working as expected I have a QGraphicsView with a vertical scroll bar policy of "ScrollBarAlwaysOff". The problem is that when I adjust the size of the view (via a QSplitter or just by adjusting the size of the window), a blank space will often appear on the right side of the view. Here's an example with a red background and a black QGraphicsRectItem:
#include <QtGui>

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
public:
    MainWindow()
    {
        QGraphicsScene *scene = new QGraphicsScene(this);
        QRectF rect(-100, -100, 200, 200);
        QGraphicsRectItem *rectItem = new QGraphicsRectItem(rect);
        rectItem->setBrush(QBrush(Qt::black));
        scene->addItem(rectItem);
        scene->setSceneRect(rect); //commenting this out doesn't make a difference

        QGraphicsView *view = new QGraphicsView(this);
        view->setBackgroundBrush(QBrush(Qt::red));
        view->setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::AnchorViewCenter);
        view->setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
        view->setScene(scene);

        setCentralWidget(view);
    }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}

Here is what the problem looks like:

How can I fix this?
EDIT: Click here to make the picture a bit larger: http://i.stack.imgur.com/HeWHJ.png

A: I gave it a try and find that if you change your rectangle to (0, 0, 300, 300), it works as desired. It seems QGraphicsView has problem handling scroll bar update with negative top-left scene rect. You should file a bug report to Qt.

Do you find that you're always busy "fundraising" but just not getting anywhere?
Do you get frustrated that others are succeeding with their fundraising, but you just never seem to achieve the same success?! Well maybe it's time for a BIG change?
What it is time for, is to start applying the Slight Edge to your Fundraising!
So what exactly is the Slight Edge?
In Jeff Olson's book, "The Slight Edge," he describes it as a principle which states that success (in any aspect of life or industry) is not achieved through huge singular actions, but rather small consistent daily actions and habits that compound over time into huge success (or failure if they're the wrong habits).
Essentially actions that are easy to do - but just as easy not to do. In fact, most often they are just a little easier not to do.
And the Slight Edge can work for, or against you, depending on what daily habits you develop. The right habits will increase your success and the wrong habits will do the opposite.
Doing 20 minutes of exercise today is not going to make any drastic change to your health or help the scale drop. It's easy to do - and easy not to do. Even after a week of 20 mins every day you may not see much of a difference.
But compound those 20 mins every day over time, and in a month or two you now start noticing significant changes to your fitness and your weight.
Eating a greasy fast food hamburger today is not going to give you a heart attack or damage your health in any significant way. But consistently eat them, and over time all that processed fat compounds into a dangerous situation for your health.
So How do you Apply The Slight Edge to Your Fundraising?
Firstly you need to work out if the Slight Edge is currently working for you or working against you?
Ask yourself, "What are my daily habits and actions? What do I repeatedly do every day that contributes to the growth and strengthening of my cause's fundraising, and to my fundraising knowledge and ability? And what am I doing that is not contributing to growth and is in fact wasting time?"
Identifying what does benefit towards your fundraising success and what does not, is the first step towards improving your fundraising ability and success. Continue and improve what is benefiting, and discard what is not.
Then you need to start identifying and developing actions and habits that you don't currently have, that will contribute to your fundraising success.
What about reading one article on fundraising, from a top expert or blog, every day? Or what about 15 minutes of reading from a quality fundraising book every day? Easy to do - Easy not to do. Then compound all that reading and learning over a year, and there's no ways you won't have significantly increased your fundraising knowledge and ability!
What about as you get into the office every morning, you pick up the phone and call 3 donors. Thank them for their donations, ask them what made them donate, how they think your organization could better serve its purpose, and how you could better communicate with them.
And honestly, how hard is it to make 3 calls to 3 donors in the morning before anything else... Not very hard! But it's also just as easy not to make those calls.
So you make 3 calls today and now you have 3 more donors who feel appreciated, heard, and important to your cause - And who are now more likely to donate again and stay loyal to your cause.
Wow... 3 whole people? Not an incredible amount right?!
But... do that consistently for a year. Now you've connected with an additional 750 plus donors (depending on how many days you work a week), simply by taking a few minutes every morning to make 3 phone calls before you start doing other work!
Easy to do, easy not to do... but with a huge difference in the long term!
Get a copy of The Slight Edge, read it (and re-read it at least once every year) and start applying the simple habitual principles to your life and to your fundraising. Making sure that the Slight Edge is working towards your success and not against it!
So what other actions can you do, that will contribute to your fundraising's slight edge success?
Create a habit of celebrating every little success. When you reach 100% board participation, celebrate it! Perhaps with a pizza party at your next board meeting, or by breaking out a bottle of champagne.
A board member has brought in three new donors? Send them a thank you gift or present a token of your gratitude publicly at your next board meeting. One of your donors upped her monthly $35 gift to $50? Cupcakes for all!
Every day, celebrate what you want to see more of. It will create the habit of gratitude and generate camaraderie.
Pamela Grow is a highly acclaimed and experienced fundraising expert and adviser. Her weekly small-shop newsletter, the Grow Report, is in my opinion the best fundraising newsletter available.
I also recommend you check out her books (in particular Simple Development System's Successful Nonprofit Fundraising and her Free Nonprofit Storytelling Field Guide and Journal).
Read my interview with her to find out more.
Some people have said that giving one's hard earned money to a charity is irrational behavior. After all, what does a donor get in return for their money? Unless they are "buying" something at an auction, or are giving a certain dollar amount to get a "free" gift, do donors really get anything of value equal to their donations?
Donors walk away with a story. Stories are currency. When you can match up a story to a potential donor, then getting a donation is much easier.
Something you can do every day, or several times a week, that will help you connect more deeply with more potential donors is to build up your story library.
Right now you may be thinking; "Where do I find stories that will resonate with potential donors?". I get that question a lot. My answer is; "Stories are all around you, but you may have to track them down, and even be a little sneaky at times."
The first one is your staff.
The second is your volunteers.
And the third one is your current donors (after all, they donated to you because of a story they heard, or because of the story they told themselves about your organization).
Just talk to one staff member, or one volunteer, or one donor. Ask them to tell you their favorite story about the impact your organization has in the community. If you start to do this consistently, you'll end up not only building up a robust story library, but you'll also gain insight into which types of stories resonate with different types of people. This way you'll be better able to match stories up with potential donors.
Now here comes the sneaky part.
You may run into staff members who say they don't have time to relate a story, or perhaps they say it's not their job to give you stories. So, instead of trying to educate them as to why stories are needed for you to go out and raise money, just ask them about a success they had this week. People will brag if you ask them.
For example, let's say you are at an organization that teaches hard of hearing children to communicate. You could ask a staff member who works with the kids about their day. "Did any of the kids smile today?" "Was there one child in particular who's smile seemed extra special? What happened that made the child smile? Could you see a spark in her eyes?"
So, instead of asking "Can you tell me a story?", be a little bit like a reporter and ask specific questions that will draw the story out. This also works well with volunteers and current donors.
You'll build a robust story library.
You'll discover what stories resonate with different people.
You'll end up feeling more energized each day because of all the impact you're hearing about… that you are helping to create.

Associate Artistic Director Jeff Meanza Takes Guys & Dolls Back to Its Roots
Jeff Meanza counts his nine summers overseeing the Summer Youth Conservatory as "incredibly close to my heart" and "without a doubt my favorite part of what we do here at PlayMakers." Jeff's managed the SYC program since its inception in 2007, presenting acclaimed shows like The Music Man, Oliver! and last year's hit production of Hairspray. So, it's only fitting that he crown his SYC experience by directing one of the all-time great musicals – Guys & Dolls.
Jeff says, "I love the source material of the original Damon Runyon stories. They're great chronicles of New York life in the 1930s. One of the things I'm interested in tackling by directing this show is exploring the musical within that context of Broadway in its early heyday.
PlayMakers Associate Artistic Director, Jeff Meanza
"Guys & Dolls is rich in its history, its sophisticated storytelling, and its gorgeous music." – director Jeff Meanza
"We're creating a show driven by the deep need of the characters – gamblers such as Sky Masterson and Nathan Detroit, show girls typified by Miss Adelaide, and other larger than life inhabitants of the Great White Way of that era – these are all people who are fighting in a high stakes game of life. To that end, we've taken it back to the time when the short stories were written, the 1930s, and this has inspired every element of our production. We think this gives it a fresh and exciting new lens through which we can enjoy and appreciate it even more.
"The scale of this show is gigantic. We have to capture the dynamic energy of New York as well as the intimacy of two love stories. The set and lighting will be evocative of the darkly glamorous world of 1930s Broadway, providing a noir-ish quality to the New York scenes. In stark contrast, the bright, vibrant world of Havana will be saturated with color and energy. The costumes are richly period and inspired by photographs from the 30s.
"Come to experience Guys & Dolls like you've never seen it before. We'll have all the great songs and show-stopping numbers of the dazzling, iconic musical, but the characters will live and breathe as Damon Runyon created them."
Join us when Guys & Dolls comes alive at PlayMakers July 15-25.

Stages of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma stages help doctors understand and describe how far the cancer cells have spread throughout the body. While pleural mesothelioma is the only type of mesothelioma that uses an official staging system, doctors still describe other types of mesothelioma in early or late stage.
Unfortunately, due to the long latency period of mesothelioma, many people are not diagnosed until the cancer has spread. The best way to improve life expectancy and manage mesothelioma symptoms is through treatment.
If you were exposed to asbestos and diagnosed with mesothelioma, Simmons Hanly Conroy may be able to help you fight for the compensation you need to pay for treatment.
Medically Reviewed and Fact Checked by:
Amy Fair R.N., Director of Medical Relations
Malignant mesothelioma, caused by exposure to asbestos, is difficult to diagnose early because asbestos has a long latency period, meaning symptoms may not develop until 10-50 years after initial exposure. By the time it is diagnosed, mesothelioma is incredibly aggressive and progresses quickly.
Pleural mesothelioma is the only type of mesothelioma with an official staging system from the American Joint Committee on Cancer. This staging system, known as the TNM (tumor, node, metastasis) system, categorizes pleural mesothelioma progression into four main stages.
The earlier the disease is detected, the higher the possibility for effective treatment.
Stage 1 Mesothelioma
In stage 1 pleural mesothelioma, the cancerous tumor(s) remain localized in the lining of the lungs. The cancer has not yet spread to the lymph nodes or other organs.
As the most treatable stage of mesothelioma, it has a better survival rate. The most effective treatment plans for stage 1 mesothelioma have included surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Surgery can remove the tumors, chemotherapy can kill remaining cells after surgery, and radiation therapy can be used before surgery to shrink the tumors or after surgery to reduce the risk of the tumor returning.
The average life expectancy for stage 1 pleural mesothelioma patients is about 21 months.
When mesothelioma tumors begin to grow larger and invade other parts of the body, doctors define this as stage 2 pleural mesothelioma.
Surgery to remove the tumor, combined with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, is still the most suitable treatment plan at this stage.
If the tumor has spread to the lung tissue or diaphragm, doctors may perform an extrapleural pneumonectomy surgery, in which the affected lung and its lining are removed.
In stage 3 pleural mesothelioma, mesothelioma cancer cells have invaded an entire area of the body, becoming locally advanced. Mesothelioma can progress to this point in several ways.
Either the main tumor grows large enough to put pressure on nearby organs and grow into them or cancer cells can break off the tumor, attach to lymph vessels and travel through the body via the lymph nodes.
If the cancer enters the lymph system or bloodstream, there is a good chance it may spread to distant organs.
At this stage, treatment typically focuses on pain relief and extending life expectancy. While surgical removal of tumors is possible, it is only recommended for patients in good health. Other treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be considered optimal treatment methods.
Once cancer cells reach the lymph nodes, it is incredibly likely for mesothelioma to spread to multiple areas of the body. Stage 4 pleural mesothelioma occurs when mesothelioma tumors begin forming in multiple areas of the body.
Because the spread of the disease is so extensive at this stage, few treatment options may have a profound effect on the cancer.
Surgically removing tumors is not usually possible at this stage because they have spread throughout so many different parts of the body.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be used to slow cancer growth and alleviate symptoms.
Other Types of Mesothelioma and Their Stages
Pleural mesothelioma is the only type of this cancer that uses an official staging system. However, some mesothelioma specialists may describe peritoneal, pericardial and testicular mesothelioma as early or late stage.
Early-stage mesothelioma is typically equivalent to stage 1 and stage 2, when mesothelioma tumors have not yet traveled to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body.
Late-stage mesothelioma typically describes stages 3 and 4, when mesothelioma tumors have spread to distant parts of the body and may be more difficult to treat.
Get Help from Mesothelioma Lawyers
Treatment options at every stage of mesothelioma are expensive. You may be eligible for mesothelioma compensation that can help you pay for the treatment you need.
At Simmons Hanly Conroy, our mesothelioma lawyers have been working with victims of the disease and their families for nearly a decade and have become intimately familiar with the questions and concerns patients may have.
As a leading national mesothelioma law firm, Simmons Hanly Conroy has recovered over $9 billion for individuals and families devastated by mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases.
For years, asbestos-product manufacturers put people at risk of their dangerous products. Through mesothelioma lawsuits and asbestos trust fund claims, we hold these companies responsible for their greed and help families find the security they deserve.

Hear from a Stage 4 Pleural Mesothelioma Survivor
For over 40 years, John did residential, commercial and industrial construction work. While on the job, he was exposed to asbestos routinely — but no one warned him about the dangers of exposure.
Decades later, John was diagnosed with mesothelioma. Sadly, because of the long latency period of this cancer, symptoms didn't appear for years, allowing the cancer to spread.
"They did a CT Scan. Then we went in for the results. That's when he just said, 'You have stage 4 mesothelioma, John.' We were shocked."
– Dee, John's Wife
By working with Simmons Hanly Conroy, John and his wife Dee were able to hold the companies responsible for his exposure accountable and secure financial compensation for treatment.
"Hiring Simmons Hanly Conroy was the smartest thing we ever did."
– John, Mesothelioma Patient & Firm Client
Thanks to the treatment he received, John has been a stage 4 pleural mesothelioma survivor for several years now.

Mesothelioma Stages FAQs
How quickly does mesothelioma progress?
Mesothelioma is an incredibly aggressive cancer. Those who worked in high-risk asbestos occupations were put at tremendous risk of serious illness — though many won't experience symptoms until 10-50 years after initial asbestos exposure.
For this reason, once mesothelioma is diagnosed, it spreads quickly. The best way to slow the spread of the cancer is to seek treatment from mesothelioma specialists with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of this rare cancer.
Contact us today to get help connecting with a mesothelioma specialist and accessing the best treatment for you.
How many mesothelioma stages are there?
Pleural mesothelioma has 4 official stages that describe how far the cancer has progressed throughout the body.
In its earlier stages, stages 1 and 2, mesothelioma is localized to one area of the body. However, in its later stages, mesothelioma cancer cells may spread to the lymph system and other areas of the body.
What should I expect in stage 4 of mesothelioma?
In stage 4 mesothelioma, the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body. Because it is impacting more areas of the body, additional symptoms might begin to develop.
Some late-stage mesothelioma symptoms include:
Coughing up blood
Talk with your doctor about what you're experiencing, so they can help manage your symptoms.
Can mesothelioma go into remission?
Yes. Although rare, it is possible for mesothelioma treatment to be effective enough that cancer cells are no longer growing. It is important to work with a mesothelioma specialist to get the best treatment plan for you.

The Diva of Days of Our Lives: #Days Book Club Clips!
Ok my two scents : like i already said, i did not find this Doughnuts pot madness really funny. There were some very funny moments but some others kind of awkward and boring imho.
MBE and Susan Hayes killed it however, they were the two stars of these scenes.. Mary beth just nailed it as the woman stoned. Susan was more in a drunk state but still pretty funny for the most part. Eat me..lol.
Jennifer was funny when she did interact with the cop, although once again it was more as a little drunk than stoned, otherwise she did try too hard at first with many forced facial expressions and perkiness meh.. Adrienne tried too hard, i did not buy it at all. I get what they wanted to do with Nicole : the paranoid, insecure one when he/she get stoned (people who can make 'bad trip' pot is not for them..ha)..Yep it is pretty realistic still the acting was weak imo here..She seems more like the usual Nicole than anything else, except when she was kind of nice to the other ladies and pretty transparent at the beginning. Me thinks some of these actresses never got stoned which is weird in California, at Hollywood..But Mary Beth Evans certainly made this experience..she was awesome ! She totally reminded me of some great memories.., she just nailed it lol.
p.s: some prime time shows are really better at this..
If the show could be this entertaining every dqy it would be must see! I thought all the actresses nailed it as it was really way out of their usual comfort zone. Don't forget...the ladies were drinking wine AND directly ingesting weed which I am sure was a first for all these characters with the possible exception of Nicole. There is no predictable pattern to how they would act. They were hilarious and I wish it had gone on longer and they could have even explored more character moments. Even JJ's reactions were priceless as he was alternately horrified/amused by what happened as any pothead would be. I loved these scenes!
