Mesa3D list
. More on the Mesa 7.5 developments can be found out via

vacation rental description
Luxurious large 1 bedroom condo (1150 sq.ft.) is located 14 steps from the beach at Shangri-La (between Mamitas & Cocoa Beach). If you know Playa del Carmen, you know the new, trendy area is the north end. Located at the end of a cobblestone beach access road, you are located a fantastic stretch of beach in the entire Riviera Maya.
The views from the infinity pool are 180 degree ocean views. The view is nothing less than breathtaking. There is a huge ground level pool with day beds, many chaise lounge chairs and umbrellas, and an area with tables in the shade. The rooftop is stunning with an infinity pool, many lounge areas with couches and oversized chairs in the shade, with tables, daybeads, huge solarium seating area, and chaise lounge chairs, all with a view that will knock your socks off. The rooftop is for the use of about 25 condos but is huge and can easily accommodate many more. There are pleny of private areas for your use.
The building has a side beach entrance with outdoor showers and easy access to outdoor restrooms, all within 14 short steps to the beach. Step out to the beach, turn right and 2-3 minute walk on the beach and you are in the middle of happening Mamitas Beach Club with great beachside cafes and all the action that is Mamitas. Turn left and after just a few minutes you'll find the very cool beach bar/restaurant, Canibas, and from there you begin a stretch of beach with few people. This entire area, left and right, is free of rocks and seaweed, it is just sugar white sand and the most aqua blue water you have ever seen.
Inside the condo, you will have a spacious unit with two living areas, dining area, granite kitchen, separate bedroom, large bath, walk-in closet, and terrace overlooking the palm trees and cabana roofs of Shangri-La. This property was built in 2007 and designed for holiday guests and has a lobby with a reception desk. When you arrive you won't have to search for the property manager's office and then make your way to a residential condo building. Just walk into the beautiful lobby and collect your programmed key-card. This building is fully staffed much like a hotel, with 24 hour reception, security, and maintenance. You will enjoy a resort setting with flowers, beautiful landscaping, and menities you just won't find in a residential condo building.
This condo is an exclusive property for the discerning client seeking modern luxurious comforts without the crowds of a hotel. The property has many common areas that are what you would expect to find in a 5 star resort, at a fraction of the price. This oversized one bedroom unit at 1150 sq ft is larger than most 2 bedroom condos in Playa del Carmen. What you get in most condos is a tiny living area and super small bedrooms. The open floor plan of this condo includes a living area and a seperate media area with a wall mounted 42" plasma TV with cable and DVD. The dining room has a large dining table with 4 chairs and the kitchen bar has bar stools for casual meals or that evening margarita. The living and dining room combined create one large expanse of windows and sliding doors that overlook a long private terrace the length of the unit.
The well appointed master bedroom has a stately four poster bed, a wall-mounted flatscreen television, a large built-in closet crafted from local hardwoods and a stylish bath.

October 15
A ridge of high pressure is settling over our area, in the wake of a cold front that passed through the area overnight. This ridge will hold strong through the midweek.
To read our latest Hurricane Blog and stay ahead of the tropics, follow the link below to the Hurricane Center.
A ridge of High Pressure will build in and remain in place through Wednesday. So, starting Tuesday we will see gradually increasing clouds with slowly rising rain chances. As this front moves toward the area, there will be a gradual warming trend as well. Wednesday, we will only see a fair chance for scattered rain with this system. Things could change and rain chances may go up.
For the rest of the day
Expect plenty of sunshine with only a little in and out, light cloud cover. Winds will be light to moderate and out of the North. It will feel seasonably comfortable with highs in the lower 80's and NO rain chances for the rest of the day. Overnight, expect pleasant conditions with mostly clear skies and lows in the lower to mid 50's. Winds will return to the SE and be light to moderate.
For the rest of the 7day planner
For the next couple of days, these conditions will continue. A developing front will move into the area on Wednesday and Thursday. This will be our next significant chance for rain. The later part of the work week will bring with it, clearing skies, tapering rain chances and much cooler temperatures.
TODAY...Clear skies and pleasant conditions in the wake of a cold front. Highs 79-85. North wind 3-10mph.
MONDAY NIGHT...A cool
night with fair to partly cloudy skies. Lows 50-56. NE, becoming SE wind

|6' 4"/ 314 lbs.
|Marksville, LA
|Years played
2011 free-agent tracker, by position
Follow the movement of the 2011 free agents in this list, broken down by position.
The Arizona Cardinals have re-signed Batiste to a one-year deal.||||||| Batiste is a guard/tackle who has played in four games for Arizona over the past two seasons as a reserve offensive lineman and special teams player.
Batiste says his recent arrest on a weapons charge may have been racially motivated. Batiste, a former deputy in Louisiana, was initially charged with carrying a concealed weapon after a search of his car during a traffic stop. Police had stopped Batiste's car, saying his window tint was too dark. On Friday, a Mecklenburg County judge threw out the charges, saying the arrest for a window tint violation was a pretext to search Batiste's car.|||||||
Batiste was arrested early Sunday and charged with carrying a concealed weapon, a misdemeanor. The reserve guard was signed by Carolina off Dallas' practice squad midway through last season, but he did not appear in a game with the Panthers.|||||||
Batiste signed with the Panthers on Saturday. Batiste, who is 6-foot-4 and 318 pounds, had been on Dallas' practice squad after getting released by the Cowboys in the preseason. He played in the Canadian Football League and the Arena Football League during the past two seasons after his college career at Louisiana-Lafayette.|||||||

7 Electrode Plates
Highest level of conductivity and durability The seven solid titanium
plates on the Chanson VS-70 water ionizer are nano-plated with
platinumand havebeen independently lab tested at 99.998% pure
titanium!The cutting edge design and proven durability of
electro-plated platinum ensures you get the best ORP (Oxidation
Reduction Potential) alteration and functional durability throughout
the life of the ionizer.
Requires Less Power Than Any Other Brand, Without Sacrificing
Performance Chanson engineers have learned in over 20 years of
servicing and manufacturing ionizers that you can't have both high
wattage and long plate life, and that anything over 180 watts will
dramatically reduce the life of the plates--regardless of plate quality
or coating methods. We are extremely proud that our "earth friendly"
platinum and titanium electrode plates only consume about 150 watts of
power and still out-perform almost every other ionizer brand on the
Chemical-Free Strong Acidic Water
Chanson ionized acidic water with a pH of 2.7 has been third party
verified to kill E.coli and staph on contact in 70% of water sources
without chemical alteration. For the remaining 30% (those who live in
soft water areas), we offer the Miracle
M.A.X. ionizer, which is the first to use Himalayan salt
instead of chemicals to achieve strong acid water for those with source
water issues.
Onboard 5 Micron Chemical-Free Filter
Super easy to change!
The VS-70. uses the same filter
as all of our other ionizers. It is a compressed carbon block
that is silver impregnated to prevent mold growth. It filters
chlorine, lead, bad taste and odor. The filter
will last for 3000-5000 gallons, or 12 months, whichever comes
first. This filter
gets the job done, but we recommend always pre-filtering
the water

Each Chanson VS-70 Deluxe
includes the following items:
Chanson VS-70 Under the Counter Ionizer
The Chanson Pre-Filters can be used on your water Ionizers too! Becasue the Pre-Filters allow valuable minerals through for the ionizer to ionize, and for your body to absorb. To view our comparison chart of our different pre-filters Click Here.

Loving it for 4 years and counting! Review by Terri
"I have been using my
Chanson VS-70 under counter water ionizer for 4 years. I love it. The
water is amazing. I was skeptical about ionized water at first and was
very surprised at the difference it has made in my health. Two out of
four years the eye doctor told me that my vision had improved. My
afternoon energy increased. My joint pain left. I love the ease of use
with the touch screen on the VS-70. A couple times I have had to unplug
it to reboot it, but other than that it has worked perfectly for 4
years and counting. I highly recommend this product."
(Posted on 4/17/12)
Great, Green product Review by JB
"I have had my VS-70
water ionizer for a year now and I couldn't be happier! It makes strong
acid water and strong alkaline with out any adjustments. I have
eliminated so many harmful cleaners around my home and replaced them
with the acid water." (Posted on 3/30/12)
Glory to Jesus Christ! Review by Darlene
"I am so emotional as I
type this.
It has been a little
over a week with our water ionizer system. And God has been so good! I
haven't slept this great in decades. With each passing day, my chronic
fatigue seems to be disappearing into thin air!
In the last 5 years we
have spent over $100,000 in treatment, detox,
products and
supplements. I am sure these were all very important in
establishing a baseline
of good health. But nothing has ever "fixed" me.
I started drinking "3"
water right away. With the years and intensity of
detox I have done -- I
wasn't afraid to go for it. I have had no adverse
reaction. Just a
stronger body and clearer mind.
I usually have to take a
nap just a few short hours after waking up in the morning. I haven't
had to nap at all since the water! Doing basic house chores and taking
care of the children left me mentally fatigued and physically drained!
I always get so depressed that I am "broken" mother and wife.
But since the water, I
have been able to focus and I have so much energy!
I know that it has only
been a little over a week on this water, BUT I had to share my joy! And
I do pray that in one month (the real test of time) I will only have
more joy to share! Thank you, thank you, thank you and praise God for
this healing of my body and mind and spirit through this healing water!"
(Posted August 2008)

Yes, the ACE Aerator Adapter 15/16 will allow you to connect
your diverter to most of the pullout/spray type faucets (not all, but
most). It can be purchased at your local ACE hardware store or online

Dave Sartwell
---- — Wells, Me.---The years change and we get older, but the flow of nature seems to be unending. Although we are hunting with the offspring of dogs gone by and we ourselves are getting slower, some of the covers we hunt have been there our whole lifetime, welcoming us back each year like old friends waiting to pick up a conversation that simply continues.
Memories of days gone by mingle with the reality of the moment, sometimes merging as we round a familiar bend in the brook or slip over a knoll that has always had the apple tree. And, the woodcock and grouse that burst up from the alders are surely descendants of the same birds we hunted here thirty years ago. Thoughts of the past come easily now.
Magic running through alders, head down and nostrils flaring, trying to suck up every scintilla of scent the moist earth below had to offer. His brother, Pirate, a blur of white off to the left as he too coursed through the Maine woods, trying to snuffle up a migrating woodcock. There is nothing like watching two young English Setters strut their stuff on the opening day of upland bird season, even when the woods is wet and the earth under foot sopping with the drizzling rain.
Although the dwellings along the main road to the north have changed from a few farms to a plethora of new homes, the woods along the brook have remained remarkably the same. It is the resting place for thousands of woodcock that flood through here both on their way north in the early spring and on their way south in the fall.
Pirate wheeled around the end of a small trickle that flowed out of a plateau of hardwoods and came to a skidding halt. He froze into a classic setter point, his whole body trembling in anticipation. As his nostrils filled with the sent of the hiding bird, he turned his head toward a clump of grass near a knob of alders. His tail slowly rose from straight out behind him to straight up in the air. His frame was stock still, but he just couldn't control all of his muscles. They twitched like they wee getting a thousand tiny shocks a second.
Magic saw his brother come to his point and swung in to back him. He was not close enough to smell the holding woodcock, but he trusted Pirate. He knew that if his kennel mate was hard to the bird, he should point as well. There they were, brothers working together as their ancestors have for hundreds of years. Steve smiled at me and we shared the moment in silence. Selective breeding and years of training all coming together at this point in time.
I worked around to the left and Steve went right. With a nod from Steve, I moved in next to my pointing setter. The woodcock could not take the pressure. Up he came, wings beating the air as he rose straight up like a helicopter. The long-beaked bird broke toward Steve. I watched as my partner brought his gun to bear. A shot rang out and a feather floated to the ground. Patting Pirate on the head to release him, I let him go retrieve his prize.
The woodcock is a solitary bird that does not migrate in flocks. Instead, they all seem to move at approximately the same time along the same routes that they have forever. Although weather does play a role in when the birds move, studies show it is light and the phase of the moon that are the greatest determinants as to when migration takes place. During a full moon the added light seems to aid in navigation. These sturdy little fellows will fly about 1,200 miles in roughly sixty days back to their wintering grounds in the deep south.
The woodcock population is in a serious long-term decline all across the country. Although wildlife managers have worked for years to reverse the trend, there does not be a solution in at least the short term alter this decline. The problem is directly attributable to a loss of habitat. In the north, where the birds breed and raise their young, the demand for single family homes continues to grow. Those places that are ideal for woodcock breeding grounds are also those spots that are great for housing. The same is true for their migratory path south. In this conflict, the birds lose every time.
How many times have we spent the morning working through the covers along the north side of the brook? Time after time watching setters perform their magic, finding their quarry wherever they hid; resting on a small knoll and eating our lunch, dogs curled up at our feet waiting for a bit of peanut butter sandwich to be thrown to them.
Afternoons hunting back to the truck on the south side of the creek. Most of the time we just take pictures or flush the birds ahead of the dogs for practice. We passed the point many years ago where we needed to fill our limit on every hunt. It is always enough to watch the setters do what they had been trained to do.

Now that is a counter-attack. Blackpool had been threatening to once again breach the Arsenal defence, but Abou Diaby mopped up, dispossessing DJ Campbell as the striker tried to surge into the box. However, the midfielder was then stuck in the corner with very little on at all. Apparently that sort of thing doesn't matter at all for Arsenal, because about ten seconds later they'd scored. Diaby's clearance was neatly flicked forward by Cesc Fabregas, which released Theo Walcott down the right in miles of space. The young winger burst forward and laid in an absolutely perfect pass to Robin van Persie, who finished first time past a despairing Richard Kingson.
Blackpool aren't giving up, of course, and they keep trying to test Jens Lehmann in the Arsenal goal - but their strategy of walking in his direction until he clears the ball is being met with only moderate success at this point. The Tangerines have less than ten minutes left to score twice.

Computer Science Education Week
This week was declared Computer Science Education Week by the US Congress. I heard when the declaration was made a couple of months ago, but heard nothing at all this week. Anyone across the pond care to comment on how it is preceding? Getting the public to understand that computing is an academic discipline rather than just a technology on their desks and in their pockets is a vital task, and this week is one of our best opportunities to accomplish that.

Beavers keep Anderson winless with 4-0 shutout of RavensANDERSON, Ind. – The Bluffton University women's soccer team dominated Anderson University 4-0 on Wednesday. The Beavers improved to 3-7-1 overall and 1-1-1 in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, while Anderson fell to 0-13 and 0-4 in the Heartland Conference.Freshman Laura Fish (Findlay/Liberty-Benton) got the Beavers on the scoreboard at the 15:12 mark.She added to her team-best scoring total when she took a pass from Aimee Whitmer (Grand Rapids/Otsego) with six minutes to play in the opening stanza and capitalized for her seventh goal of the season.The second half scoring mantle fell on Maddie Moore's (Linn Grove, Ind./South Adams) shoulders. The senior captain found the back of the net at the 57:30 mark and followed that up eight minutes later for a 4-0 lead over the home squad. Junior Megan Moreo (Spencerville/Delphos Jefferson) delivered with the assist on goal number four.
Moore fired nine shots to lead the Beavers. Fish and Whitmer both chipped in with four shots. Bluffton finished with a 20-4 advantage in shots, including 9-1 on frame. The visitors were whistled for three more fouls (9-6) and fired the only two corner kicks in the match.Bluffton will return to action on Saturday when the Beavers travel to Hanover College for a 2 p.m. meeting with the Panthers.Anderson pitches 2-0 shutout of BeaversANDERSON, Ind. - An early goal put Anderson on top and a late tally sealed the Ravens' 2-0 victory over the Bluffton University men's soccer team on Wednesday. The Beavers slipped to 2-9 overall and 0-3 in the Heartland Conference, while AU improved to 6-9 and 2-2 in the HCAC.Guimps Pierre took a feed from Kingsley Kantande just over four minutes into the contest, giving the home team a 1-0 lead that proved to be all AU would need.Bluffton kept the Ravens from increasing that lead the rest of the half despite being outshot 12-2 during the first 45 minutes of action.With time running down, Anderson capped the victory with a second goal in minute 89 for the 2-0 final. Todd Canal found Brad Rusche with a minute to play as the Ravens evened their mark in the HCAC at 2-2.Anderson finished with a 22-6 advantage in shots and 9-3 on corner kicks. Ben Knotts (Carrollton) led the Beavers with two shots, while Jeff Yoder (Elkhart, Ind./Bethany Christian) collected six saves for the visitors.Bluffton continues on the road when the Beavers travel to Hanover College on Saturday.

A quick look inside North Carolinas 40-20 victory against Middle Tennessee:
• Score: 0-0, midway through first quarter.
• Situation: MT ball, third-and-goal from UNC 7.
• The play: UNCs Tre Boston intercepts Logan Kilgores pass in the end zone.
• Why it mattered: South Carolina needed just three plays to score on its opening drive last week against UNC, and MT seemed to duplicate that on its opening drive after Kilgores pass to Kyle Griswould initially was ruled a touchdown. The play was overturned on review, giving MT first-and-goal at the 1. A stuffed run and MT penalty pushed the ball back to the 7. After an incompletion, Boston cut in front of an MT receiver to pick off Kilgores soft pass. UNC then went 80 yards in five plays (taking just 1 minute, 45 seconds), scoring on Romar Morris 26-yard run.
• Score: UNC 6, MT 0, late first quarter.
• Situation: UNC ball, third-and-12 from UNC 25.
• The play: UNC quarterback Bryn Renner handled a low snap, wheeled and hit Mark McNeill streaking down right sideline for a 59-yard gain.
• Why it mattered: After allowing a quick score on UNCs first drive, MT was in optimal position to force a three-and-out on UNCs second drive. Busted coverage allowed McNeill to slip past MTs corner and extend a 73-yard drive that ended with Renners 1-yard TD run for a 13-0 lead.
• Score: UNC 13, MT 0, early in second quarter.
• Situation: UNC ball, first-and-10 at UNC 28.
• The play: Renner is sacked and the ball comes loose. MT recovers at UNCs 20, but the play is reviewed.
• Why it mattered: MT already had a TD overturned, and this time it lost a turnover when officials ruled Renner was down before the ball came loose. UNC retained possession and eventually punted. But instead of taking over inside UNCs 20, MT started its next drive at its 29. That drive ended with Kilgores second interception.
• Score: UNC 13, MT 0, midway through second quarter.
• Situation: UNC ball, first-and-10 at MT 33.
• The play: Renner tried to hit Quinshad Davis on a deep post, but threw into double coverage. MTs Sammy Seamster picked it off at MTs 8.
• Why it mattered: UNC started the drive at its 7 and four plays later was at MTs 33. Renner went for the home run knowing another UNC touchdown would put the game out of reach before halftime. It didnt work, but a series later, UNC drove 82 yards in 2:27 to go ahead 20-0.

I don't know why I am so interested in these types of off-the-path rendering techniques. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they are so different from the classic "push more polygons" pipeline. Or maybe that they serve a singular purpose of trying to make the experience better through a non-traditional use of traditional content like triangles and textures. Still, now that the dust has settled and everyone has chosen their sides in the fight I wanted to go back and analyze Megatextures more. I wanted to question if it was the right choice for id Software and what can be done with it in the future.
I've been following this technique for far too long. A likely side effect of my addictions, I find myself combing the whitepapers and lectures of companies like Crytek, id Software, Dice, Valve, Epic, Ubisoft, and many more. I guess it's not the worst thing for an engineer to do with his spare time but, as I've mentioned in previous posts, wanting to follow in the steps of giants often leaves me standing in a dark place from the large shadows they cast. And fully knowing my flaws, I still venture into this technology to ask myself if it is something worth investigating for my own indie-scaled games.
When Megatextures were first introduced in a modified version of idTech4, John Carmack used a much more traditional terrain-based scheme where the geometry was assumed to be a relatively 2D top-down sprawl of land. This approach has been used for at least a decade prior to video games in the simulation industry. Terrain topology rendering was something critical in military applications to display high resolution satellite images for tactical planning. It seemed like a reasonable approach at the time, but games like Quake Wars: Enemy Territory showed the strengths and weaknesses on this approach. Vertical cliffs, walls, and ceilings were an impossibility with a technique that was designed to drape itself over the landscape like a table cloth.
Not satisfied with the rudimentary version that was developed in idTech4, the latest incarnation of Megatextures was a complete re-write that evolved out of an "ah ha" moment for the developer. Though it's not entirely likely that Megatextures were the first of their kind (there were similar whitepapers with slightly varied approaches), it certainly was the first to be proven on the gaming battlegrounds at 60 frames per second.
Megatextures now appeared to be rendered (from the nuggets I've gathered) as follows:
To be honest, I am kind of shocked that Megatextures work at all let-alone at 60 frames per second. Though most of these steps do not seem overly offensive step 3, and by extension step 4, is where the secret sauce gets made. It is this step that is also where Megatextures succeed and fail at the same time…
When we first saw the demo of Rage that showed a merchant hanging out in his little hut the promise was grand. We listened to Carmack describe how an artist masterfully painted a 4096×4096 texture for his face alone. He went on to say that every facet of the world could experience that level of uniqueness without the degrading frame rate that we would all expect. As impressed as I was at that time, a few things didn't seem right to me. I couldn't wrap my brain around this idea of unique pixels everywhere. I kept asking myself, "how big is this game going to be?". At first I justified it as thinking that they would only use it to enhance the terrain and create cooler cliffs and canyons but it was later clarified that any opaque surface, including characters were going to follow this pipeline and it made me very nervous. I was going to need a bigger hard drive.
After going going dark for a bit Rage returned but it wasn't the same. There were rumors that Rage was having trouble with Megatextures on some platforms and it was clear that there was a real moment for the company to reflect on whether it was right to move forward with it. Carmack even mentioned in his keynote about the disappointment shared by the art team when they first saw the end product of their hard work processed and compressed down to game format.
The platform issues were eventually resolved but Rage looked a bit more… decimated. Images were kind of blurry and the texel density looked to be fairly horrific in some areas, notably very low light areas as well as surfaces that were deemed "unseen" by their automated importance algorithms. It was later discovered that Rage was undergoing some changes and aggressive compression was a bullet point in that list. The end result was an image quality that still holds up beautifully but only under a list of perfect conditions:
In wondering around the Rage environments I find some rooms to have nearly poster-sized blocks of solid color, an artifact of a shadowed wall that is then lit by a dynamic light source. I'm fairly certain that many of these issues resulted from two major factors.
Now that Rage has shipped and some of these fears have maybe been answered for the company I am hopeful to see an improvement in the texture density for future id Software games that use idTech5.
I feel like this technique has some serious challenges ahead of it. While many games are fighting to stay smaller in an age of digital distribution is seems like Megatextures are running the other way. While idTech4 focused on all dynamic lighting and visibility across uniform surfaces, Rage took a step back to the Quake 3 era of baked lighting and long build times for developers. Rage is roughly a 25GB game and the development build of the game is said to be roughly 1TB of data. If the less aggressively compression version of Rage is even half that size (500GB) I question what it would mean for gamers. I question what it would mean for people who still pay by the gigabyte for bandwidth or maybe only have a 256GB hard drive but still want to play the next id Software game.
As much as I really love the idea of this technology I think that id Software is going to have to invest big money in smarter and less invasive compression techniques than HD Photo. They'll need to improve how they decimate their formats, or stop baking the shadows into their color maps and allow the compression to work with the full color band. It does make me wonder why their dark maps were combined into the color maps but I'm sure it had to do with storage and performance of including yet another texture in the cache pipeline.
For a company like id Software who has a fully working version of this technology, I don't see them backing down but I would hope to see some minor changes. Do we really need every pixel to be unique?! I would love to see this technique used less as a ubiquitous blanket approach and more of a way to intelligently stream in super resolution images for individual objects. I'd like to see a modified version of idTech5 that goes back to the promise of that 4096 texture for a character's face, or a similar sized texture used on a wall but allow that texture to be reused, essentially treating each image as it's own Megatexture. This would allow large organic terrains to continue using their massive painted and decal-covered textures while embracing basic tiling and reuse for more sterile and rigid surfaces, or instanced objects such as characters and environment props. Something like this I would imagine could get a lot of use on a Mars space station maybe , just dropping that out there.
I know that it just isn't worth it for me to chase Megatextures for my own project. The development process would be long and the pipeline would be a nightmare to find a place for all of that source content. Knowing that I'll likely be the one to develop most of the content, I doubt that my own skills as an amateur crayon artist would come close to maximizing that technology. If I am searching for some cool technical achievement as inspiration to my next creation, sadly I don't think I'll find it here. I'll have to keep telling myself that as I stare at beautiful Megatextured vistas on my screen.
I know that this post sounds more like a eulogy than a critique, but I just don't know where Megatexture 2.0 belongs. I do hope that I am wrong, and maybe 3.0 has a few tricks up its sleeves (assuming there is a 3.0). I am certain that id Software is going to continue to push this technology because of the massive investment made. I just hope that it turns profitable for them at some point.
I really feel like Rage was the testbed for this technique but their future idTech5 pillars like Doom 4 are going to be the proving ground that vindicates or damns Megatextures. The success or failure of Megatextures may also be the guiding decision to continue perusing Megageometry or the now famed Sparse Voxel Octree approach to representing a world. If storage is an issue now for data that can be lossy (textures and sound), then what will come of data that can't? Would gamers buy a 256GB voxelized Wolfenstein? It feels like owning a space shuttle; it sounds awesome but where are you going to park it?
|Andreas Ahlborn
This article really hit the nail of the problem on the head.
ID Tech 5 is in my eyes one of the great misguided engineer-projects in gaming history and Rage is the game equivalent of the Titanic.
While I believe Carmack is a genius, Megatextures come across in retrospective as a false promise, if you look up the wild gap between critcal and user ratings ( http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/rage ), you might even be tempted to imply fraud.
What a mess to produce such a showcase for e new engine that surely will never be touched/licensed by any studio which wants to keep its sanity.
Its practically half the way between reality and science-fiction, which this mysterious super-"engine" ( http://www.euclideon.com/videos/euclideon-island-hd/ ) goes full.
|Michael K
it's actually even Megatexture 3.0, the "surface cache" of quake 1 is kinda like a realtime megatexture, combined lightmaps and textures into one "megatexture" on runtime. you could have baken it offline, generating an insane amount of data and compress it, just like now, but it baked the stuff 'instantly' for the surface you were about to render, which isn't that different to the upload transcoding and upload of textures in the rage approach.
I think they would have had less problem if they had kept this dynamic baking approach.
|Jeremy Alessi
Great article! I was just thinking about mega textures the other day. The limit on materials/textures in games is still a huge issue. I think the notion of unlimited amounts of texture data is still very appealing. Hopefully, in due time it will work well.
|Michael G
"...many games are fighting to stay smaller in an age of digital distribution..."
I hadn't noticed.
|Carrado Grant
"I really wish Nvidia would adapt the API to work with AMD so it can be adopted as a proper standard in games."
Though great, CUDA is not what the industry needs. OpenCL is just as capable as CUDA ( just not mature enough ). If Nvidia tried to put more effort in the standard ( OpenCL ), then there would be no worries about opening up CUDA.

Expert Analysis: One run is good. Two are better.
Got that? Oakland's bullpen has been outstanding this season, and especially down the stretch. That's essentially how they caught and beat the Rangers for the American League West flag. Still, in the ninth inning A's closer Grant Balfour will have to face Omar Infante (hmm), Miguel Cabrera (OMG) and Prince Fielder (BIG).
So a two-run lead looks a lot better than a one-run lead.
And that's where things stand after eight inning: Athletics 2, Tigers 0 after Phil Coke and Rick Porcello kept the A's off the board in the bottom of the eighth.
The A's, of course, lost the first two games of this series. But that was in Detroit, and one of them was against Justin Verlander and so it really doesn't count. Now they're in Oakland, and if Balfour can keep the Tigers from scoring two runs and the A's can get to Max Scherzer in Game 4 ... well, Justin Verlander doesn't win every game he pitches, right?

Can you try to place the plugin in this directory
You shouldn't need to netload the dll yourself. It should be loaded automatically. Try this command
That did it! Thanks!
I'll check it out and come back with some praise soon
great! not sure why it doesn't run from the program files folder.
Actually, it turns out that it was running from the program files after all. I think I just needed to restart the program before it would take effect. I deleted the plugin from the appdata root folder and the plugin is running just fine from the program files folder.
Thanks again!

Update: Leaders agree to push for flood relief funding
Updated 6:27pm Friday 21st March 2014 in News
COUNCIL leaders and representatives from a whole host of companies and government bodies have met in Oxford to discuss flooding today.
Following the Oxfordshire flooding summit they agreed to set up a sponsorship group made up of representatives from as many of the organisations as possible.
This would lead the way in pushing for funding for the £123m Western Conveyance flood relief channel which would go around Oxford.
All of Oxfordshire's MPs have also agreed to meet with the group in Westminster to help push the case for the scheme.
Earlier this week Rodney Rose, deputy leader of the council, said if the county didn't get the funding secured now for the Western Conveyance Channel, a proposed £123m flood relief channel from Botley to Sandford.

Sen. John McCain thinks of mixed martial arts as "human cockfighting." Former New York Gov. George Pataki once described it as "barbaric." But MMA lured more than 100 people this past Saturday night to a downtown Manhattan gym. They came to watch men slug it out in a secret mixed martial arts cage fight. The rules are simple: No biting. No kicks to the groin. The fighters wear no pads, no helmets and only wrap their hands in thin, four-ounce gloves to protect against broken fingers — caused by brutal hits to the face and head. The goal is to punch and kick your opponent into submission. Yes, chokeholds are permitted. New York is the only state in the nation where MMA fighting remains illegal. But that hasn't stopped promoters from organizing about six underground MMA fights a year throughout the metropolitan region, according to Jim Genia, who chronicles the underground world of MMA in his book "Raw Combat." The fights are often held in the outer boroughs — at a boxing gym in Brooklyn, or warehouses in the Bronx and once even at a mosque. Every year New York state legislators mull the idea of sanctioning the sport, possibly as a lucrative source of tax revenue. But many in Albany continue to dismiss MMA as too violent. "The politicians are idiots," said Josh James, a New Yorker who took in Saturday night's fight. "It's a sport. If it wasn't, you'd just watch a couple guys go fight behind a bar." Fans like James defend MMA as far safer than boxing. Fighters can "tap out" if they feel defeated, as one did Saturday night, or a referee can call the fight if a fighter is badly injured. The next fight is in December and you're welcome to watch — if you can find out where.
Still banned in New York State, mixed martial arts will make a heavyweight splash at the Izod Center in Newark on Saturday when Strikeforce stages two quarterfinal matchups of its eight-man World Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament. Retired 38-year-old MMA great Frank Shamrock spoke with amNY ahead of the event he will help broadcast on Showtime. How did MMA go from spectacle to sport? [In the late '90s] we just sat down and really made it a sport — wrote the rules out, redefined the weight classes and, I guess, really gave what the politicians were looking for at the time to make it a sport. ... Now ... it's one of the most regulated sports in the world, with the drug testing and steroid testing. ... We've still got that stigma dragging around with us as a bunch of Wild West cage-fighting weirdos. So we're just constantly trying to re-educate and sort of redefine that. Why is the sport growing so quickly? I get why people are flocking to MMA. You know, it's: "Whoa, oh, ho, hey! Oh, wait a minute. Oh, oh, oh! Okay. Tell me more. Who's that guy?" I don't know how I'm going to transcribe that. [Laughs] What's the difference between the UFC — the dominant MMA league — and Strikeforce? [The UFC's] presentation is, the UFC is the most important thing — the brand itself, uch like the WWE is. We're more interested in trying to find that guy: the next Muhammed Ali guy, the next guy that can beat everybody, the guy that I was at one time. ... We have to have a very global business idea. We have to put some of our business requirements aside to create a bigger dream. What can people expect from the main event: Antonio Silva versus Fedor Emelianenko? I see this fight as size and attrition against speed and accuracy. ... Fedor has amazing accuracy. He just throws his body behind punches, and he's just destroying these guys.
Critics of MMA have claimed different reasons for opposing regulation. But as our millions of fans and anyone who has been paying attention knows, these claims don't hold up. First they said it wasn't a real sport. But MMA is the fastest-growing sport in the world, sets event gate and concession records, and millions watch fights on pay-per-view TV. We are highly trained athletes, Olympians and All-American college wrestlers. MMA has gone mainstream. Fighters appear in ads for Microsoft, and UFC sponsors include the Marines, Harley Davidson and Anheuser-Busch. And it's hard to argue with dollar figures. A recent study found New York regulation would generate $23 million in economic activity and create hundreds of local jobs. Then detractors said it wasn't safe. But we have some of the most rigorous safety standards, drug testing and officiating in professional sports. All that our critics have left to say is MMA is barbaric. It is full of strategy, fluidity. Highly conditioned athletes look for momentary points of leverage and advantage — combining karate, jiu jitsu, wrestling and kickboxing, which can take decades to master. MMA isn't for everyone. But to call it brutal is to misunderstand the sport, its athletes and its fans. We're not masochists, we're college graduates, role models, Olympic champions. We have a greater safety record than the NFL and boxing, and with millions of fans, we are not going away.

In a time when our world seems to be falling apart and our government is straying from God, elections become very important to our society.
In the 2014 primary, many government offices are being contested. One of those offices is the Taylor County property valuation administrator position.
This is a special week to be a Kentuckian. If we didn't get enough attention for our college basketball teams during the recent NCAA tournament, now comes an even bigger stage, another way to shine the spotlight on the Bluegrass State.
The giggles were contagious.
As I waited for the event to start, I saw the children's excitement grow. It was palpable. They had their homemade, home-decorated buckets in tow, ready to hear the adults tell them "go."
"Daddy! Daddy! Look what I got," the little girl shouted with glee.
Every child was a winner at The Kid SpOt Center's second annual autism awareness event at Kid Wise Amusement on April 16. When their name was drawn for a door prize, the children rushed to the prize table to choose among several gift baskets overflowing with an assortment of educational toys, craft kits and candy.
Years ago when our son, Dave Jr., was about 7 or 8 years, he awoke early one Easter morning, but I was awake, and he immediately began singing the chorus of the Don Francisco song, "He's Alive."
"He's alive, yes he's alive, yes he's alive and I'm forgiven," Dave sang as he hopped out of bed.
At first, before I could understand what he was singing, I thought something was wrong with him; maybe he was having a bad dream or was sick and crying for help.
It is my pleasure to endorse Bernie Cave for Property Valuation Administrator of Taylor County. He is a fine citizen of this county and has served in several offices.
Bernie worked for the Taylor County Conservation District for about 14 years. He also served with me on the Taylor County School Board for about 13 years.
It's something our parents tried to instill in us all. But it's also something some of us have forgotten over the years. And now, with people being as busy as they are, it might have gone by the wayside entirely.
I went to a dining etiquette workshop on Monday afternoon at Campbellsville University. Look in Monday's issue for photos from the event.

|Apinda Mpako, Pan Africa ILGA
During his 88th birthday celebration this past Saturday, Feb. 25, Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe said "to hell with" British Prime Minister David Cameron over comments Cameron made at the October 2011 Commonwealth summit linking British foreign aid to the gay human rights records of recipient countries like Zimbabwe.
Mugabe's remarks come on the heels of a new constitutional draft just released by the country's parliamentary select committee co-chairmen last month. The draft contained no provisions to protect gay and lesbian rights, despite calls to do so from Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai this last October.
Though the committee is currently discussing sexual identity discrimination, the inclusion of protections in the final constitution seems unlikely as legislators say more voices oppose such measures rather than support them.
During his political opposition rallies last October, Tsvangirai criticized the Mugabe-led Zimbabwe African National Union–Patriotic Front for pursuing "issues which are not useful which do not bring bread and butter to the table." The country continues reeling from an economic and food crisis caused by governmental price controls and land confiscations as well as a nationwide drought and HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Zimbabwe currently outlaws same-sex acts and subjects gays and lesbians to incessant police harassment in form of arbitrary arrests, beatings, and even assassinations. African LGBT blog Behind the Mask has said that "Western pressure has even galvanized anti-gay sentiment in some areas" such as Zimbabwe, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda.
Mugabe, who has called gay people lower than pigs and instated violent punishments for his country's gay citizens, said during his birthday:
"We won't accept [gay rights in our charter]. There are other countries who have accepted that and put it in their constitutions. Please, young men and women, you don't have the freedom for men to marry men and women to marry women. You have the freedom for men to marry women. That's God's freedom. That's what created you and me."
But despite Mugabe's political hostility, a United Kingdom immigration court recently ruled against a Zimbabwean lesbian seeking asylum for her sexual identity, because: "the Gays and Lesbians Association of Zimbabwe (GALZ) which told a UK Border Agency fact finding mission that Zimbabwe is "not the worst place in the world to be gay or lesbian even though the President, government officials and church leaders have whipped up a climate of hysterical homophobia."
Zimbabwe's first-ever contestant for Mr. Gay World, Taurai Zhanje (pictured), also withdrew from the upcoming April competition citing "personal reasons" after receiving verbal attacks from his local community for participating in the international gay pageant.
The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission will soon release a study about discrimination against women based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Amazing Getaway
Review submitted: January 22, 2013 Date of arrival: January 9, 2013
When we first read the previous reviews we were a bit dubious.
After meeting the owners Vittorio, Malina and Vic we can say that words do not do justice to the beauty of this place. One has to stay at Beach Villas to really understand how perfect everything is and it really is as close as one can get to another day in paradise. Immaculate heated pool and grounds. Clean, renovated suites. The internet photos do not truly depict how beautiful these accomodations are. The beach and boardwalk are just a short 5 minute walk away. We wish we had known about this place when they first opened.
(Better late than never)
See you on our next holiday.

Beach Villas -- A Great Place!
Review submitted: January 8, 2013 Date of arrival: December 21, 2012
We just returned from a stay at Beach Villas over Christmas week. What a wonderful place --great facilities, great people, and great location!
Beach Villas is only a few minutes walk to the beach, pier, and restaurants yet it is positioned at the end of a quiet street in a good neighborhood. The apartments and grounds are meticulously maintained and Vittorio and Melina are the perfect hosts. The swimming pool and patio area is especially nice as it has been redone recently and it is tropically landscaped. Beach Villas is the perfect place to stay while visiting Deerfield Beach. We definitely plan to return!

Our Week in Paradise :)
Review submitted: August 26, 2010 Date of arrival: August 14, 2010
Daniela, Cincinnati, OH
We just recently came back from our summer vacation in Florida. We stayed in a one bedroom apt at Beach Villas of Deerfield.
Everything was clean and renovated; the complex is a wonderful place for a family vacation. The kitchen is full equipped, the rooms are nice and clean.
The beach is within 3 min walking distance from the property. There are plenty of bars and restaurants around, if you prefer to go out, but the apartments are still in a very quiet place.
Vittorio, the owner/manager of the complex, is a very nice guy, always helpful, and he takes a great care of this place.
Thanks, Vic, for our wonderful week in the paradise :)
We'll defiantly recommend the place to anybody and for sure we'll be back there again!!!

We booked a week with the Beach Villas of Deerfield & couldnt be happier! The room was immaculate, and had recently been completely renovated. All the appliances were brand new, as well as the furniture.
Vittorio, the owner, treated us like members of his own family; he even bought gifts for our little kids! Overall we had a great time & would definitely recommend this property to anyone.
We wont need to look any farther the next time we are heading to South Florida.

I have taken the liberty of adding an edit to this memorial for Edwin Bryant. The information comes from the records of Pelham Massachusetts
and reads as follows
Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988 about Edwin Bryant
Name: Edwin Bryant
Event Type: Birth
Birth Date: 21 Aug 1805
Birth Place: Pelham, Massachusetts
Father Name: Ichabod Bryant
Mother Name: Silene Bryant
I believe his mother's name was actually Silence
I believe this memorial Find A Grave Memorial# 77619925 is his mother's could not find the father who died in 1816
Researchers say that Ichabad and Silence were first cousins.

What drives a man to collect mountains of vintage publications? I have no idea, really, and no idea where to begin finding out -- other than asking the mysterious collector himself. Since that avenue is not open to me, I must continue focusing on the items themselves rather than on the motivations behind their accumulation.
My first report on the collection amassed by this anonymous accruer delved into the world of pulp magazines. Much to my surprise, then, I found myself back where I started my tour, sitting at a wide table, surrounded by even more pulps.
"To be honest," one of the many curators explained, "We forgot these were in the collection. They're kept in a room so remote that it takes an hour to get there by motorized jitney." And so, once again, I found myself gingerly leafing through crateloads of these, the most ephemeral of all publications. What follows are my most dramatic finds, along with a brief clip from the most-prominent feature story in each.
Exciting Baseball
"It takes a real man to hit a ball that high," remarked the Skipper when Lightning Green sent one skyward one sunny afternoon in May. "So what if it's an out? Look how long it takes to come down! That has what you call a debilitating psychological effect on the other team. Now they're thinkin' that maybe the next one might go just as far -- only outwards 'stead a' upwards."
Small Ball Magazine
Nobody expected it. Not one of the ten thousand in the stands or any member of the opposition. Trailing by five in the home ninth with bases soaked, the last thing anyone on earth anticipated was a bunt - especially from Whomper Stevens, the brawniest fellow in the lineup.
Man's Magazine
Dawson City was nursing a 3-2 lead when White Horse put the first two men on to start the eighth. Lefty Elms summoned his catcher, Eddie Miles, to the mound. Milesy trudged through the drifting snow, sliding the mask off his face.
"It's my toes, Eddie - I can't feel 'em," said the diminutive fireballer, stamping his feet.
"You mean you still got 'em? You're way ahead of me on that count, Lefty."
Exciting Sports
Squats McTierney was all in. He'd caught both games of twin bill on Thursday and done same on Friday. He'd hoped there'd be at least some relief on Saturday with only a single tilt on the docket, but there was no such luck. It was now the top of the sixteenth inning. The game had been tied since the fourth and neither team seemed capable of breaking the deadlock.
Ever since Big Mike Hanniford had taken that bat splinter to the groin, all the catching duties had fallen to Squats. Specs had promised they'd find someone to help him out, but that hadn't happened yet. In the meantime, things were getting a little fuzzy. Squats could swear there were things darting back and forth across the line that separated the sunlit part of the field from the area covered in the shadow of the light tower; little, blurry things that moved on tiny, unseen feet.
And if all that hunkering down wasn't enough, Squats reminded himself he still had to hit! As he clenched his fists around his trusty wagon tongue, Smoker O'Bay let fly with a...what?
"That wasn't a baseball," thought Squats as the umpire registered the count as one-and-oh. He stepped out of the box and rubbed his eyes. He blinked heartily and dug in for the next offering. Here it came again - something right out of a Saturday afternoon serial show.
Jack Dempsey's Fight Magazine
The last meeting on the undercard featured a third sacker named Mike Lopanski against welterweight Buzzsaw Kinney. Not surprisingly, Lopanski fared well in the even-numbered rounds where he was allowed to bring his bat into the ring, but repeatedly took it on the chin in the odd-numbered frames when all he had on him was his hat.
Man's Life
Use the high walls to your advantage. Play shallow. Remember: You may hate them for keeping you in, but you'll love them for keeping your opponents' long flies in, too. You'll be surprised how many hitters will assume they've smacked it far enough to clear the yard, only to end up getting tossed at second after a well-played carom. When batting, shoot the gaps. Go for two- and three-baggers and let the big galoots on the other team frustrate themselves trying to hit for four bags.
Aryan Sports Monthly
Heinrich toed the slab and stared in at Manteufel for the signal. Fingers flashed and he nodded in agreement. Good old Fritzie - Heinrich could always count on his superior mind to have all the angles figured out. The batter wagged his bat with attempted menace. Heinrich could tell by the shape of the man's skull that he lacked the native instincts to understand basic pitching strategy and he was sure that Fritzie Manteufel could see that, too. So it would be another curve ball and another swing and miss from a batter so primitive in his thinking that he assumed every pitch would be straight and true.
Weisenau blocked the roundhouse with a well-placed forearm. "Nobody blackens my baby blues!" he said to himself as he counterattacked with a jab-and-hook combination.
Sporting Detective Stories
The Chief told Slattery to have a seat. He offered him a cigarette, which the strapping detective took with gratitude.
"Slats," said the Chief, "Norgamo and his gang are running a white slavery ring out of that girls ball loop and I need someone to go incognito and blow the lid off the whole thing."
Slats stopped in mid-drag. "You mean dress like a dame? Why me?"
"According to your file, you were the only boy in a family of eight kids. You should be right at home amongst all those broads."
"I flew on an aeroplane once, too, but that don't make me Amelia Earhart."
