What was your favourite Spyro the Dragon homeworld?
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Spyro the Dragon on the PlayStation on the 9th of September 1998 so it's about time to get back to some classic Spyro poll questions! Kicking things off naturally with a repeat of very first poll: which of the six homeworlds of Spyro the Dragon is your favourite?
Artisans comes a very close second.
Okay but, we need to know YOUR opinion Dark!
Magic Crafters, mostly because I really like all the supercharge stuff.
Dream Weavers! It's the most trippy and fantastical homeworld and I thought it was very interesting!
It was a hard choice between that and Magic Crafters though!
Yo, DEADASS?? BANANAS ARE DEAD???
Artisans. It's really nostalgic to play.
The choice was harder than I though, but every time I think about this series the first thing which comes to my mind is the very first part of Magic Crafters where you have to jump across the glowing blue paddles of water with the music playing.
It's even more nostalgic than Artisans, somehow.
Beast makers was my choice!


Party it up with this fabulous "Party" Mardi Gras Party Corsage that coordinates with the matching headband from Fancifollies by Silvestri.

It's a pop of Mardi Gras style that can be worn in so many ways. The felt back has both an alligator clip and a metal pin for easy attachment. Let the good times roll, with this beautiful accessory.

Post your New Skins for Season Starting 22/10/2018!!
Sim Racing System Sim Racing System Paint Shop Post your New Skins for Season Starting 22/10/2018!!
Instead of me posting an individual skin for a car I haven't done a livery before, or just resurrecting an old skin thread, I thought it would be more fun for folks to post pics of the skins they'll be using based on the new season. And what better way to kick it off than with the two skins I blasted out this evening! Post yours below!
Porsche GT3 Cup 2017 with a stripe pattern I used on a ride for Pierre C., with my two-tone flare and garish logo placement.... Followed by my middle finger to all Ferrari's being solid red. See you guys out there!
Very creative as always, Russell!
That Ferrari livery looks fantastic!
Glad you like them! For my last livery this season (most likely), here's my second car in the law enforcement theme... And I did a timelapse of its creation! Enjoy!
I made a skin for the Suzuki Alto.
I am trying to create a skin for the f2004 Ferrari series, but looking in the AC skin files there is no skin_00 DDS file? I have done plenty of skins, but I must be missing something. Does the skin UI file point to it or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. In other words what do you name the skin DDS flie in the skin folder?
They also put the gloves and helmet right into the folder for this car, which is atypical (they usually use a skin.json file and use default stuff). If you don't need a special helmet or gloves, you can save pretty big on total filesize by simply deleting those.
Russ, thanks for your help. I have a skin that will work, but get an error window when trying to load a race(see attch.), if I click to close the error screen it will take me to the race with my correct skin, but am wondering if it will screw up the upload to SRS at racetime. Any advice is appreciated.
Sorry cant seem to attach a screenshot .png to this forum.

« A Single Day's Haul »
A Single Day's Haul
Here's an example of an hour's labor after work, typical of a take I bring home a couple of nights a week:
How the Heart Will Endure: Elizabeth Bowen and the Landscape of War, by Heather Bryant Johnson (University of Michigan Press, 1992). Quotes Reed's review of Bowen's "Everything's Frightfully Interesting" (also known also "Careless Talk," which makes fun of self-important men doing top secret work for the War Office), from her collection of short stories The Demon Lover.
Sursum Corda! The Collected Letters of Malcolm Lowry, v. I: 1926-1946, and v. II: 1947-1957, edited by Sherrill E. Grace (University of Toronto Press, 1995-1996). Lowry apparently wrote a radio adaptation of Moby Dick in 1945, but after eight months hadn't heard back from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, by which time Reed's version had been produced by the BBC.
The Eighth Lively Art: Conversations with Painters, Poets, Musicians, and the Wicked Witch of the West, by Wesley Wehr (University of Washington Press, 2000). Wehr remembers Elizabeth Bishop teaching at the University of Washington in the mid-1960s, the same time as Reed.
Skeptical Music: Essays on Modern Poetry, by David Bromwich (University of Chicago Press, 2001). Mentions Reed's poem "Hiding Beneath the Furze" appearing in Robin Skelton's 1964 anthology, Poetry of the Thirties.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go fill out index cards for this evening's bounty.

All fundraising figures are approximate and include an element of matching funding raised by the charities involved as a result of the concerts we have put on.
HLT's Nonviolence Programs support the Palestinian people as they confront political, social, and economic hardship using nonviolent strategies.
Bethlehem District contains twenty-three separate cities, villages and refugee camps, composed of a variety of cultural and religious groups that make up the Palestinian people. HLT is seeking to engage in long-term, sustainable relationships to provide these communities with possibilities in the face of adversity.
Holy Land Trust's leadership division, Making the Impossible Possible Campaign, is facilitating the emergence of a community of leaders committed to bringing about a nonviolent, transformative, and lasting change within both Palestinian and Israeli communities.
HLT's Travel and Encounter programs aim to raise international awareness of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict by providing cross cultural and experiential learning opportunities in both Palestine and Israel.
HLT has developed two media projects. PNN is an independent news agency bringing accurate and reliable news about the region to local and international communities. Al-Kul TV is a community-focused television station by and for the people of Bethlehem.
Adhoc Hums focussed funds raised on HTL's community outreach humanitarian aid projects, such simple education packs for children's after-school clubs trying to bring a sense of reality and safety back to youngsters terrorised by oppressive tactics of the Occupation. In 2009, we helped raise funds to rebuild devastated homes for Palestinian families in Al-Khader (Palestinians often live in large homes with three or four generations of one family cohabiting).
Israeli armed and civilian occupation-enforcement forces, as well as Israeli 'settler's private paramilitary forces, are all largely made up of barely-adult youngsters aged approx 18-25 years old. Well-documented by international peace eobservers and human rights workers in Palestine, the collective behaviour of these youngsters under direction from older military commanders, appears carefully targeted to underpin the Israeli state's Apartheid behaviour: to kill, maim and generally harm the indigenous Palestinian inhabitants, destroying crops and homes, and to arrest both adults and children with a view to imprisoning them for months or years without charge in Israeli military or civilian jails. To counteract this without violence, Courage to Refuse works to introduce humanitarianism to the Israeli armed forces, by showing its battalions of teenage soldiers that they have a choice not to underpin such an illegal and immoral occupation of another country. However, any military personnel being brave enough to become a 'refusnik' are normally vilified, imprisoned and attempts are made to force the refusnik's family into destitution. Adhoc Hums funds went to providing emergency care for those families of Refusniks suffering deprivation.
An independent cottage hospital built in 1997 after the Oslo Accords, at the time of Adhoc Hums concert in 2008 the organisation was in desperate need of funds for basic medical services. After the concert, In 2004 the hospital was able to attract a long-term lease for an independent medical charity to provide general medical care for south west Bethlehem area. The hospital lies in Al-Khader (the location where St George the Green Saint spent several years - the same St George who was imported to England by Crusaders to be England's patron saint).
Al-Khader is a village area on the southwest outskirts of Bethlehem City, on the original Palestinian road leading between Jerusalem to the north and Hebron to the south. Under the Apartheid system of Occupation that Israel maintains over Palestine, this old Al-Khader/Hebron road has been severed with road blocks, walls, earth mounds and barbed wire. As a result of this destruction of quick access to medical assistance in other areas of Bethlehem or outside the city, Al-Yamamah Hospital has become an even more vital resource for the walled-in Palestinian population, most of whom are forbidden to travel outside Bethlehem's limited precincts anyway, even if the road let them.
The staff are as entombed as their patients, and access to resources and medical consumables remains constricted. The whole of Bethlehem suffers from electricity and water shortages, directly affecting the quality of care any hospitals can give. Health levels are even lower than usual given the intense travel restrictions imposed on Palestinians, meaning they are unable to travel to find work, study or trade to make ends meet. The hospital, therefore, necessarily has to specialise to a certain extent on a broad range of mental health disorders, including profound depression suffered by the local inhabitants from being perpetually denied their civil and human rights.
As part of the third convoy to Gaza undertaken by Viva Palestina in Dec 2009 to January 2010, London-based humanitarian activists volunteered as aid workers to drive medical vehicles across Europe and the Middle East to deliver aid to Gaza. Waltham Forest Palestine Solidarity Campaign coordinated that fundraising to buy humanitarian aid materials and vehicles to donate to Gazan NGO charities. Adhoc Hums concert funds of went towards purchasing one ambulance and filling it with humanitarian aid such as hospital bedding, medical apparatus, education materials and non-perishable foodstuffs. Adhoc Hums founder was one of the drivers for that ambulance (number F5 in a convoy of 250 vehicles, and lovingly named "Gertie") and herself drove F5 through the Rafah Crossing between Egypt and Palestinian province of Gaza at around 2am on 07 January 2010, to deliver it safely to Gaza.


Reported allotments is 5503 on 2 Lakh application amount and full allotment till 5000 units.
The government plans to garner up to Rs 2,5000 crore by selling units of the CPSE ETF by launching a follow on public fund offer which opens on 14/03/2017 for non retail investors and on 15/03/17 for Retail investors. CPSE stands for central public sector enterprises, and ETF for exchange-traded fund. CPSE ETF is a basket of 10 public sector undertakings where the government had sold shares in small quantities way back in May, 2014. An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a marketable security that tracks a basket of assets such as stocks. In contrast to mutual funds, it trades like a stock. A 3.5% upfront discount has been offered to lure investors to invest in this fund. This marks an reduction from earlier 5% discount in earlier sale offer in Jan 2017. While the past performance of CPSE ETF funds is reasonably good and last CPSE ETF gave windfall returns (3-7%), there are some red flags that an investor has to keep in mind while investing in this CPSE ETF Further fund offer(FFO) 2. The review of this offer is aimed to held investors take an informed decision.
Update Anchor Investors: CPSE ETF FFO 2 anchor portion of Rs. 750 crore gets bids for 5700 crore i.e. 7.5x subscription.
An upfront discount of 3.5% is being offered to all category of investors.on the " CPSE ETF FFO Reference Market Price".
CPSE stands for central public sector enterprises, and ETF for exchange-traded fund. CPSE ETF is a basket of 10 public sector undertakings where the government had sold shares in small quantities when CPSE ETF's New Fund Offer (NFO) was first launched in March, 2014 with an issue size of Rs. 3,000cr. The NFO received good response. The ETF was listed on 4th April, 2014. The ETF was launched by Goldman Sachs Asset Management (India) which was later acquired by Reliance Mutual Fund in October 2015. The second tranche or CPSE ETF FFO offer was launched on Jan 17,2017. This raised Rs. 6000 crore and got good response from institutions. Retail participation was luke warn and they put in only Rs. 1000 crores. However subsequent bumper gains may see a significant Retail participation in this round.
(ii) for more than 5,000 FFO 2 Units, all such Investors will be provided allotment of a minimum of 5000 FFO 2 Units (subject to section on Allotment below); however, if the total value of such allotments would be in excess of the Retail Individual Investor and Qualified Institutional Buyers (Retirement Funds) Portion, all Investors will be provided equal allotment.
b) all Investors who have applied for investing more than 5000 FFO 2 Units will be given allotment of any remaining FFO 2 Units (up to the Retail Individual Investor and Qualified Institutional Buyers (Retirement Funds) Portion) after allotments made under paragraph (a) above, pro-rata to their application amounts in excess of 5,000 FFO 2 Units.
The CPSE ETF presents an opportunity to investors to take exposure to some of the best performing PSU companies across different sectors with relatively less stock specific risk as the risk gets diversified among the basket of stocks from different sectors. The favorable policy outlook amid a reform oriented government augurs well for these companies.
The fund has a portfolio of 10 stocks and the sectors 'Energy' & ' Oil and Gas' dominates the fund which is a double edged sword. The funds performance in last year has been fulled to a large extent by oil & Gas sector stocks and on the back of pull back in energy stocks like REC, PFC and Defence sector stock BEL. This cannot be said with certainty for coming months.
The CPSE ETF has delivered an absolute return of 43.88% since its launch on April 4, 2014 against Nifty 50 which delivered a return of 30.11% during the same period. (as on March 10, 2017).
The PE ratio of NIFTY CPSE index has stood in region of 11-12 x cs 21-22x of NIFTY 50 index. The poor discounting of the NIFTY CPSE index is on account of lower confidence of investors in Government controlled PSUs.
The dividend yield of NIFTY CPSE index was 3.74% and that of NIFTY 50 index was 1.25% as on Feb 28, 2017. Thus from consideration of dividends alone, the CPSE fund is a good bet.
The government is also looking to launch one more CPSE ETF, with different underlying shares. This ETF is being managed by ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund and is expected to be launched in coming months.
The Government has offered a 3.50% discount to all categories of investors which is lower than earlier two CPSE ETF offers.
The fund is coming at a time when market may be in a bit euphoric mood due to results of recent assembly elections.Units offered under FFO 2 scheme will be listed on or before April 07, 2017 on both exchanges and market conditions cannot be cannot be ascertained at that point of time.
Though the performance of the fund has been satisfactory, Overall investors have a mixed feeling with PSUs Investors in general have many bitter experiences of investing in PSUs & OFS of PFC, REC and recent MOIL OFS are giving -ve return.
Due to Holi festival, Grey Market Premium or Kostak is not yet known.
Investors with low exposure to PSUs stocks can subscribe with a medium term perspective as a bit conservative and defensive bit. However some of the constituents like Coal India are likely to come out with large OFS which can act as a check on their prices.
The Markets could remain bit elevated due to recent political gain by party at the centre which could result in a higher floor price which may or may not sustain at the time of listing.
The reduction of discount from 5% from 3.5% has not only lower the potential gain which investors can pocket but also has increased the risk.
In CPSE ETF FFO which opened in Jan 2017, investors were allotted units at Rs. 25.214 and based on price of 27.7 on 10/03/17, investors are sitting on a gain of approx 7% in slightly less than two months time.
The CPSE ETF FFO 2 size is Rs. 25000 crore compared to earlier Rs. 6000 size and investors though shied away for FFO 1 which gave good gains, may make a beeline for CPSE ETF FFO 2 resulting in over subscription and lower allotment which may cap potential gains even in case of an uptrend.
Despite the arbitrage lure, there are price risks associated with few weeks holding as underlying PSU performance may have peaked considerably, upcoming heavy disinvestment program of government leading to increase availability of PSU stocks and discount safety is less. On the other side one cannot rule out a small uptrend in CPSE ETF price itself if a secular bull run sets in place after these elections. Will watch the trend in next 2 days and at this juncture I intend to take a small exposure to this CPSE ETF FFO 2 offer.

« Kylie Minogue – Get Outta My Way
T-Pain ft. Rick Ross – Rap Song »
Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand
They couldn't save Diva Fever, but they're doing alright for themselves…
[Video][Myspace]
Renato Pagnani: I liked last year's "aNYway" and I like this even more. Restraint is a well-fitting look for these guys; they understand that good house is all about a consistent throb, the kind of clockwork groove that can last five or six minute without losing steam. This is crossover house done very, very well.
Kat Stevens: So much better than their dreadful last single! I wonder if Armand van Helden had been listening to old Bamboo's "Bamboogie" and thought to himself "oooo let's do that but with BONEY M instead", then slapped the mecha-Streisand chant on top for extra camp points. If only he'd kept in the steel drums!
Edward Okulicz: A "James Brown Is Dead" for the '10s. Until you hear it you won't realise you've been waiting 20 years for it. Also, it is a fact that Boney M were amazing.
Asher Steinberg: Even though so little has been added to/subtracted from the original, it's striking how much those little changes take something that was unabashedly corny and make it detached and arch — but thankfully, not in a looking-down-our-noses at the original arch kind of way. Notably, one of the two members of Duck Sauce was once looked upon in rap circles as an up-and-coming poor man's DJ Premier, and on this record you can see why.
Jer Fairall: I don't get it.
Michaelangelo Matos: Armand Van Helden's loops used to have such give and elasticity. They've been more inert since then, and while this isn't horrible, it's nothing in comparison to the stuff he was cranking out over a decade ago. It's like lousy cocaine as opposed to good E.
Anthony Easton: Gorgeous, late summer jam, all about the joy of a dog day party, fucking love the sample, love the loop even more, kanye looking all serious at 2:16, unable to name Babs turned a tight grin into an all out guffaw — dancing and fucking music.
Alfred Soto: Serviceable and swirly, if not as daft as a Barbs tracked remixed by van Helden could be. He's got plenty to be guilty of.
David Katz: I could see this song working really well as a novelty football chant. Sub the bizarre shout of 'Barbra Streisand' for, like, 'Gianfranco Zola!' or 'David Ngog!' and it'll soundtrack the pre-game PA for years to come.
Zach Lyon: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Alex Macpherson: When people praise "mindless" dance music, they don't actually mean music that's as empty of thoughts and ideas as this inane, zombified husk of a track. There isn't a single thing here that hasn't been done before or better, often by Armand van Helden himself.
Martin Skidmore: I think it's the bassline that is lacking compared to "aNYway" – it was monstrous on that, but here it's kind of basic. I like it well enough, but not among either party's greatest moments.
Jonathan Bogart: A steroided-out second-hand memory of 70s roller-disco bliss, with a non sequitur vocal interjection that would kill the momentum if any had been worked up to. Babs is overdue for her hipster reappreciation, but this is no way to start.
Katherine St Asaph: YouTube Poop, minus memes, plus big doofy disco beats.
John Seroff: Okay so the video mix (if not the video) is a good time, even if it is exactly half (.5) as clever as it thinks it is. The vinyl audio is a lot less engaging as a sit-down listen but it's clearly meant more as an easel for DJs to play on than as a stand-alone, finished project. I need to be drunker to really get into "Barbra Streisand" and it's somewhat to its credit that I kinda wanna meet it halfway.
Mallory O'Donnell: Pointless like Sleigh Bells, but with pleasure instead of hip aural masochism in mind, so it's a whole different matter. So stoopid and buoyant I could see an 18-year old me drinking Popov and OJ to it, so solidly banal no one could possibly extemporize a 600 word blurb about it.

Zach, on October 17th, 2010 at 11:46 pm Said:
I ran into some trouble trying to find the words to express my hatred for my song. My original blurb was something like, "So this is what it sounds like when the hipsters watch too much Family Guy."
kind of entirely agree with matos here but I'm easier to please
Hmm, is pleasure ever pointless? (I'm Asher, by the way.)
Mark M, on October 18th, 2010 at 10:46 pm Said:
Yer actual DJ Premier is in the video – don't know whether it's him on the track.
mallory, on October 18th, 2010 at 11:50 pm Said:
No, but Sleigh Bells are. (You might wanna try reading that one again.)
Tray, on October 19th, 2010 at 1:45 am Said:
I did and isn't pointless modifying an implicit 'Duck Sauce'? As in, 'Duck Sauce' is pointless like Sleigh Bells, but with pleasure instead of xyz in mind, so it's different? I mean I guess you're saying different tiers of pointlessness (this being a lesser/better tier).
mallory, on October 19th, 2010 at 4:56 am Said:
Sure, something like that. Or maybe I mean 'pointless' to be more descriptive than judgmental. Either way, you should probably calm down.
Renato Pagnani, on October 19th, 2010 at 6:24 am Said:
I don't see Tray as being riled up?
Not anymore than usual, of course.
mallory, on October 19th, 2010 at 4:08 pm Said:
Eh, it's the usualness of it that gives rise to concern. I'd prefer that our writers, new and old, concentrate on cooking up fine blurbs rather than engaging in silly (even pointless!) semantical disputes.
Surely they're not mutually exclusive, though? Not to take sides on the pointlessness or pointiness of Sleigh Bells or semantics or hell, for that matter, Duck Sauce, but there's plenty of hours in the day, and I didn't see the question as all that combative.
Yeah, I don't feel riled up – I was just, you know, curious as to what you meant by saying the song was pointless and yet fun at the same time, as the fun would seem to be the point. I suppose I suspect you mean that it has no point other than just being fun, but that wasn't manifest. Being a lawyer I tend to have an inordinate interest in exactly what written remarks mean, and relatively little interest in whether they're correct or not. If you want to define pointless to include things that have no point other than to be fun, that's quite alright with me, I just think it's an interesting definition that suggests some kind of ideology of pointedness. And that pointless is an interesting and kind of problematic qualifier, because if you think about it, Sleigh Bells's music bristles with points – they're just points that you and I don't think are worth making, so isn't pointless a quite ambiguous term inasmuch as it can denote something very pointed but frivolously so, and something relatively unpointed like this song? Now of course that's as semantic as semantic gets, but I think it's well worth establishing what we mean when we say something is pointless.
Frank Kogan, on October 19th, 2010 at 8:16 pm Said:
Tray, you're doing fine. Think the people who tell you to calm down need to calm down.
(But I like Mallory's blurb, by the way. Wish I liked the song, but I'm at 4 with it. Too cluttered. Would rather go home with Boney M.)

To whomever it might concern, the link to From A Table Away on the sidebar is incorrect.

It makes more sense when remixed, the original version is a bit stale.
I'm fine with having a conversation about semantics, this just seems an exceedingly arbitrary one to have. I think it's pretty clear what I meant in my blurb, and I think it's equally clear that I could have chosen a better word to express that idea. Actually, I think having "points" or being "pointless" is actually a pretty horrible descriptive term for music of any kind, and I'm quite regretting my hasty word choice! That being said, I'm fairly sure there's something else going on here beyond crappy word choices and their need to be clarified…

Goodbye, Spotify! Hello, eMusic!
Blockchain Set to Revolutionise the Music Industry
Every day we listen to new music or old favourites. Hundreds and thousands of songs are posted on the Internet and are made available for free. The question is, what does this mean for the future of music and for those who make it? According to Tamir Koch, general director of the digital music store eMusic, we are heading towards a scenario in which musicians will be rarer and performers will be fewer. Why does he think that this will happen?
The answer is simple. The existing streaming system allows anyone to listen to any music tracks recorded in the history of the music industry, but it does not protect the copyright of musicians. It is important to understand that traditional electronic music libraries have outlived their usefulness and are no longer fit for purpose. This fact is vividly confirmed by what is happening with Spotify, one of the leaders in the industry. Spotify is already sustaining huge financial losses which are estimated to reach US$400 million by the end of 2018. And this same fate is expected to befall AppleMusic.
eMusic, owned by Kazakh businessman and investor Kenes (Kenges) Rakishev, has announced a desire to raise around US$70 million to create a decentralised system for selling music content and managing remuneration for musicians. The start of the public ICO for the creation of a new platform based on blockchain technology was scheduled for September 2018. The task that eMusic is setting itself is ambitious. The new platform will allow authors and musicians to:
• see how many times each music track was listened to and downloaded from any album, in real time.
• protect their intellectual products from pirates (the platform will ensure, once and for all, that it is possible to effectively enforce legislation prohibiting the pirated distribution of content).
• understand the distribution of fees (the system whereby rewards are distributed between the music-providing service and the musician will become transparent).
Major Change Expected for the Music Industry
Rakishev and many experts in the global music industry agree that the new technology will significantly change the industry in the coming years, eliminating serious shortcomings. If eMusic receives the support it needs, the world will have a new music platform that musicians are likely to wholeheartedly embrace.
