Realising it will be impossible to 'master' WindLight and it numerous possible settings instantly, I decided to start with something we did not have in the first FirstLook we had been given (and that they so cruelly took away from us again): the water.
Suddenly the Second Life oceans are shiny, way more rippled and actually looks like it's moving without having to insert 'fake' waves. Those even look funny now, compaired to the detailed WindLight water. So, what's new?
Caution! Before starting to mess around with whichever Second Life WindLight settings, first press new!
Else you could by accident safe over some default settings, and whom knows whenever these will come handy!
- If your graphics card allow it, go into file, preferences, graphics tab and there toggle atmospheric shaders on.
Your water will look way better this way! You should be able to spot the difference instantly. If not, curse the graphic card! ;)
(Yet, do know the graphics card used for these snapshots is 4 years old, so don't curse it to hard. You should have chosen more wisely back then.)
- Water will reflect buildings, objects, avatars, trees, … basically: everything. You can choose what it reflects or not - for if you prefer performance above realistic detail - in the 'graphics' tab. It's under file, preferences, graphics tab. Then check water reflections and choose according to your liking either terrain and trees, all static objects, all avatars and objects or everything. See? Nifty reflections are ours now! No need any more to go underwater, photograph the refracted image and then cut and paste that into your photograph.
- If you want to change the water colour, it's under world, environment settings, environment editor. There you can just select another colour for it, obviously, pick water color to do so. Hint: pink looks neat, but is not very convincing as real water. :p
- Take the more water options way for detailed fine tuning: size of the waves as well as reflection properties of the water are adjustable. Hear! Hear!
- Make sure to play around with the texture of the water too. I've found it makes a great (mimic) giant glass floor.

Wonderful experiments; I'd say the experiments succeeded! I've got to forward this (and your other WL posts) to the rest of our Team for enjoyments!
And: we will be working on making sky & water settings shareable inventory, but it won't happen until WL is in the main viewer and has server-side controls too. (Thx for your email, I get this question a lot so I thought I'd put it out here.)
Well…for me it doesn't seem to work, it functioned just 1 day actually. Then when I wanted to uncheck the atmospheric shaders button, SL gave me a warning ("The instruction at "0×7c910f29″ referenced memory at "0×00000000″. The memory could not be "read". ), and crashed. Uninstall/install didn't seem to help.
So yesterday, I updated the drivers, and guess what, I get a very strange log-on screen (with cryptic fonts), nevertheless I managed to log in and see everything 'normal'. Until I discovered the sky was partially yellow, as well as some shiny objects. And no beautiful water for me, only butugly oceans (even worse then the normal SL viewer). Right now I just feel to cry, as I don't see what I can do more.
I was not in-world during the first Windlight buzz, so I didnt really get why everybody was so excited these last days..But this is really impressing..
So, are we really to bury our "cartoon" world??
Bella March has some impressive "watershots" on her blog too..
*** me wondering if she is going to torture her processor and squeeze her graphs cart to its limits too… very tempting.. ***
I *think* I need a new grapics card, but then again as I need a whole new PC anyway, I'll get my brother-in-law to upgrade me soon , now that I'm earning money again :D
I'm going to have SO much fun with Windlight… It'll change the way people actually plan a build now I think. It'll certainly change the way I plan and design a build.
Awesome! My 1 year old graphics card runs all options in a mere 7 frames per second, and basic requirements card, well, that one barely survives at 2 frames per second :-S.
Still, I like the new WindLight, ALOT. Though, the old WindLight worked much faster on my computer with the 1 year old graphics card… How does 30 frames per second sound? O~O
I love the new WL too but I have found two problems I can't resolve:
- I have a miniskirt that is always totally invisible in WL. I know I am wearing it as sometimes when i put it on it initially and briefly appears as grey - then goes totally invisible. Others I have spoken to have also experirenced this issue with other items of clothing.
- WL Underwater is really really dark. Too dark to see anything when the other viewers (OnRez and Nicholaz) allow me to see quite well in the very same place.
Otherwise I love WL!
Thank y'all for the compliments! I'll do some more purrring for that! ^^
As for Luna, I'm sorry to hear that. Did you also trying de-installing all SL from your HD and installing it again? (Sorry, but that's the best I can do as where it comes to advice for thingies that give number error codes.)
Amanda, you asked me to remind you: did you submit your entries for our next Cannery Show already?
And Faerie, Torley says it's a know issue in the comments here. I think you can take a look at it when jira.secondlife is back up again, using the DEV number?
Ah well, but you can adjust this! The photograph I took here is a composite, but the 'water' part was not lightened in photoshop. You just need to seriously overexpose the sky and play with the water and overall lightness settings a bit? (I'll take a look it this or tomorrow evening to see if I saved my settings for this photograph.
BUt this means it should be possible to see below water! ;)
I dont know how to adjust the underwater settings but I took some pictures with the updated WL to show everyone (inc Torley) and put them on Flickr so Torley can reference them.
These were taken at exactly the same place/direction at Shea Imbrium 67/226/6 both WL and OnRez with default settings, a draw distance of 224m and the sun forced to noon. I am not wearing any light giving attachments (face lamps etc).
WL underwater:
OnRez underwater:
As you can see with WL you are effectively blind - you cant even see the texture of the deck under my feet, let alone the railing a few metres away.
I also took comparative shots above the water too just in case they were needed.
Update on the underwater visibility problem. Caliburn Susanto posted a workaround on his blog here:
The work around is to press Control+Alt+F6 to turn off the "Fog" effect and make the water crystal clear!
He's posted before and after photos as well.
It's not perfect but it's definitley something I can live with!
I found a video blog that Torley Linden posted in using Windlight:
and in it he tells you how to change the darkness of underwater in Windlight!
Press CTRL + ALT + E to open the "environment editor" and there is a slider for "water fog"
the default is far too high.
Setting it to zero gives you crytal clear water, but between 0.7 and 1.5 gives a good balance.
Yes Vint you did!
The hard and dumb bit about this (to me anyway) is that this slider is NOT in (or reachable via) any of the "graphics" settings areas in "Preferences"! It's underneath where you go to change the Sun!
I think the WL team really must do two things urgently:
- add a link to the (Ctrl+Alt+E) Environment Editor to the "Graphics" tab, and
- reset the default for the slider down to somewhere between 0.7 and 1.5
Hi, Adrian. I'm not good at roleplaying helpdesk/error detective, but i'll give it a try:
1.) Did you install any updates of the client lately just before reflections stopped functioning? If so, did you check in the new client if everything that needs to be checked to show reflections is still checked? 'Render reflections' and then all under type?
2.) Did you play with your 'advanced water' settings? For the fun of it, save your settings, see if you have some older ones saved, and if this not work, put all your sliders exactly in the middle. Also check if water color texture is kinda blue, and there is a right texture.
3.) Check your client menu (ctrl+alt+d) and see if everything there that needs to be put on rendering is there. If needed, compare with a befriended avatar that is online.
4.) Did any major stuff occure inbetween ripples and reflections working and not working? Client update install, graphic drivers updated, graphic driver's settings changed, … ? Or do you reckon this just happened, overnight, 'out of the blue'?
Adrian, glad to read this was solved. Although having to downgrade to get something to work is never a nice thing. (Except if it's downgrading on amount of clothing, but that's a whole different thing. Nvm… :p)
Care to join which graphics card that was and which driver you downgraded to? It might be interesting for people who have the same problem, that they might stumble over a solution without having to do the trial and error stuff! ;-)
Care to comment?

Nyack Campus Community Remembers Ralph G. Ellenberger (1934-2014)
Beloved Nyack College Professor Emeritus, Ralph Gordon Ellenberger passed away on Tuesday, May 27, 2014. A true pillar of the campus community, his legacy as a man of integrity and compassion, is fondly remembered by an innumerable host of colleagues, friends, and former students.
After completing studies at The Missionary Training Institute, precursor of Nyack College, Dr. Ellenberger earned a BA at Wheaton College and an MA at the University of Chicago. He joined the Nyack College faculty in September 1973, where he served as department chair of Anthropology and Sociology. He retired in 1999.
Since retiring to Omaha in 1999, Ralph was active in the Dundee Presbyterian Church, sang in the choir, taught adult education, was a part of several Bible studies, served on the Session, shared teaching responsibilities with the pastors, was active in the Mariners group, and served on the Crescendo Concert Series Board. He enjoyed gardening, traveling, and spending time with his family. He particularly enjoyed returning to the Nyack Rockland campus for his 50th class reunion and kept in touch with many of his colleagues
Dr. Ellenberger is survived by wife, Dotty, who was a former Nyack College registrar. Their children who will also cherish his memory are :Laurie Rainoff (Brad), Jenny Ellenberger, and Brad Ellenberger (Holly); grandchildren: Emma and Olivia Rainoff, Allison and Meghan Ellenberger; brothers, Paul Ellenberger (Florine) and John Ellenberger (Helen); and a sister, Dorothy Emary.
Arrangements to celebrate his well-lived life are as follows:
The family will hold visitation hours on Sunday, June 1 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Heafey-Heafey-Hoffmann-Dworak & Cutler Mortuary, 7805 West Center Road, Omaha, NE.
A memorial service will be held on Monday, June 2 at 11:00 a.m. at Dundee Presbyterian Church, 5312 Underwood Avenue, Omaha, Nebraska. A reception at the church will follow the memorial service. Internment will take place Monday, June 2 at 3:00 p.m. atWest Union Cemetery in Union, NE.
Gifts in memory and honor of Dr. Ellenberger can be directed to the Ralph G. Ellenberger Scholarship Fund at Nyack College, 1 South Blvd., Nyack, NY 10960.
The tremendous mentoring impact of Dr. Ellenberger on hundreds of Nyack students could not be more evident than one of his former students, Dr. David Turk, who today is Nyack/ATS vice president and provost. On the passing of his former professor, he said," The entire Nyack community, and all of those who were incredibly touched by Ralph's presence among us, sends its deepest sympathies and respect. Ralph was truly one of God's rare creations."

March update on EWM
Just wanted to let you know I have updated my page on Early Work Mercantile. I have 2 samplers, a covered box with pinkeeps and a small shaker cheese basket with a stitched egg listed this month. I did a fun sampler named Bessie Polk that was inspired by Pineberrylane's newest design "This Have I Done". I used the little gal from her sampler with permission. I couldn't sleep one night and came up with the short verse " I don't like stitchin' but it's better than a switchin'. Most small girls in days of yore were taught to stitch at a very young age. Poor Bessie didn't like it and it shows by "Not my best work". Too fun.
thanks for stopping by, I'll be back soon with more pictures. Merry Spring to all
til next time ~

The Los Angeles Clippers played as badly as they have all season in their first game of this road trip in Atlanta on Wednesday night, but they had a chance Thursday night to redeem themselves. During the first half, however, the Clippers did not improve on their embarrassing performance from the night before. They were actually quite a bit worse. The only consolation was that Memphis was just as bad. The Clippers were playing without starting shooting guard J.J. Redick as well as key reserve Matt Barnes, while the Grizzlies played without All Star center Marc Gasol and starting defensive specialist, Tony Allen. The first half ended with the Grizzlies ahead 42-40, and other than Mike Conley, I really can't name anyone else who looked especially like a productive NBA player.
The second half was a completely different story. Memphis quickly lost control of things as the Clippers suddenly found their stroke. With four minutes gone in the third quarter they proceeded to make their next nine three pointers without a miss, including three each for reserves Reggie Bullock and Antawn Jamison. The Clippers outscored the Grizzlies 57-34 from that point turning the evening into a rout, and giving Chris Paul and Blake Griffin a mini-vacation in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Memphis would have been shooting great had the basket simply been about a foot closer to their shooters. Mike Miller, and Jerryd Bayless both missed wide open jump shots REALLY badly. The Grizzlies were lucky if they actually made it to the front of the rim. Clippers' reserves Darren Collison and Jamal Crawford scored 15 points each to lead the Clippers. Chris Paul also had 15 points and eight assists as Los Angeles snapped a two-game losing streak. Griffin added 14 points and nine rebounds, while DeAndre Jordan had 10 points and 14 boards.
Although the Clippers played some of their worst basketball of the season against the Hawks on Wednesday, their play Thursday night made up for it. The Clippers finished with eight of the ten players who appeared in the game scoring between seven and 15 points. Seeing the shots falling, especially for Bullock and Jamison, is particularly good news. Bullock has looked confident shooting the ball all season, but without great results until recently. This bodes well for a team who just lost their best shooter (J.J. Redick) and one of their most physical and tenacious defenders (Matt Barnes). My only take away is this: for the Clippers, too often a defensive possession ends when the opponent shot goes up. Except possessions end when your team secures the rebound. If we're talking about the Clippers needing to show defensive intensity for an entire game, they need to show it for an entire possession. And not just until the shot goes up.
Weird things happen when important players get injured. I'm not talking about losing an extra game here and there. I'm talking about the transformations that organically occur on the floor to compensate for those players' absence. For the Clippers right now, those players are J.J. Redick and Matt Barnes. First off, Darren Collison has done a surprisingly good job of picking up the slack on offense. Not only has he scored 13 or more in four of the last six games, but he also hasn't laid a goose egg in the assists column in nearly a month. Collison started the season looking totally lost. Perhaps being forced to pick up the slack was the push he needed.

Next up for the Clippers are the Cleveland Cavaliers, who, to the surprise of some, have struggled this season posting a record of 6-12. However the Clips should not take this game lightly as the gradual improvement of center Andrew Bynum could present some problems for DeAndre Jordan and guard Kyrie Irving is one of the toughest guards in the league to defend. The Clippers must bring consistent efforts of defensive fortitude if they hope to fair well on this long road trip of theirs. Never underestimate your opponent.

Imagine life, when everything had to be done manually! Right from designing an automobile to making a bag; how tedious and cumbersome would the process have been without any assistance? Today, automation has completely changed the world we live in. Everything that we come across today is automated. So be it manufacturing, healthcare, retail, Information Technology or education, every industry is riding high on automation.
Education Verification: The Need
When it comes to organizations hiring the right candidates, a complete education background verification is important. Colleges/universities are often caught in the web of verification of their students – amidst a burgeoning amount of requests from employers. More than anything else, education verification is a crucial aspect in background check. It is imperative that candidates with authentic and valid education degrees are only hired.
Given the rise in forgery and cheating cases related to education, a solid education verification of a candidate is need of the hour. Grappling with many vices that have smothered the smooth functioning of the institutional and educational machineries, it's time to put in place a rock solid system.
Current Scenario
Colleges/universities witness a huge crowd of potential candidates. Problems arise when it comes to validating education certificates in a very short span of time. Often this opens a window for error in judgment, which can later prove to be fatal; for candidates with forged certificates can be a big blow to the reputation of the institution.
Today, by automating the education verification process, things have been rendered easy.
The Automation
The margin of error in a manual verification is always high. The age old method of verifying every detail including marks, university stamps, signatures can be a cumbersome and a tedious process; let alone the fact that immense time would be taken up doing this. Today, through an automated education verification process, the risks have been minimized and greater benefits added.
Here are some of the benefits of automated education verification:
Preventing revenue leakage from colleges: An automated process would definitely prevent any untoward revenue loss from colleges/universities as the verification process is based on a secured and sound platform. This also helps in creating an authentic revenue stream.
Prevent fraud: The biggest threat to colleges and organizations is candidates with forged degrees. Illegally procured grades/degrees have become an easy way for underserving candidates to bag a seat at a good university or a good job. With automated education verification, this risk can be completely mitigated.
Protect brand name of the institution: A timely verification can ensure fraudulent candidates are not admitted and save the brand name of the institute.
Create a database of alumni: Automated verification enables institutes to create a database of verified alumni, which can be of great use in the future and also avoid unnecessary duplication of work.
To get an edge over competition and survive, organizations and educational institutes have come to value the importance of education verification. iCredify, a growing education verification company, has come up with an entire gamut of verification services to help prevent forgery in the education system. By helping companies with verified employees and institutes with meritorious candidates, iCredify brings value added services like, automated placement services, internship launchpad, alumni tracker modules amongst others.

Ah. Now I see why the earlier question (for all of my unknowing followers: http://cause-shes-bittersweet.tumblr.com/post/68211741025/if-you-left-your-car-unlocked-in-the-worst-part-of )
Now this makes me slightly irritated- but it isn't your fault, not really. The question itself irritates me, the problem itself irritates me. There are many reasons why, and mainly because I know so many women who have been raped.My best friend was raped this past year- and while I have been fortunate (and yes, lucky in all sense of the word) not to have been, it's something I know all to well.
The reason it sounds horrible is because you're right- it is horrible.
What you're asking me, it seems, is if the victim is really blameless. I say yes. They are blameless.
We have to ask questions like "where is the line drawn in how much cleavage you can show before the rape possibility intensifies for me?" and that's rather twisted, isn't it? And to be honest, it doesn't happen that way. We hear stories of rape in the way that they were showing too much skin, but if you look at the data, you realize the truth in its most horrific sense. Most rapists are people that the victim knew, that they trusted. Family members. Friends. Significant others. Coworkers. This also happens to children, let me remind you. You can't tell me a child thought her t-shirt was too provocative and wore it anyway. This is not a age, gender, or status related statistic. It is across all boards. It affects everyone.
There was also a study done in which rapists were asked why they had chosen which victims they did, and they said it was because they looked like they couldn't put up a fight. The rapists chose their victims on how defenseless they looked- not how short their skirt was. Rape is not about sex- it's about power. Rapists rape to feel powerful.
So you can't tell me that it was their fault at all, can you? No. Not without stretching a quite a bit of rational thought and completely throwing logic out the window.
And it's bigger than the moment, that's the thing, and it is hard to really think that way. It's bigger than the moment when the girl put on a dress and walked down the street, into the bad part of town. Or man. It's all gender equal here. It doesn't matter what the victim did.
You have to think more roundly- why do we accept rape in our society? Why do we accept rape in any societies? Not so long ago women were shunned if they we raped- and in some societies and cultures they still are. Some are put to death, tossed out in the street by their families, sold as slaves, mostly sex slaves. And you might say- oh, they put themselves in danger- yes, maybe they did, but clothing changes per society, doesn't it? What is "acceptable" as far as modesty goes is variable and interchangeable. In cultures where nude is the common costume, rape is almost nil. Isn't that interesting?
And EVEN IF a person was wearing something "immodest" it still boils down to the rapists. In their head, they were the ones that made it happen. They were the ones who said "I'm not going to listen when they say no, I am still going to do it".
And that's all I'm going to say about it. Because that's the final word.
The rapists still chose to rape.
And they didn't have to.

Is this a unified theory of the brain? →
Here's a link to the New Scientist article on the free energy principle. I also read Friston's – the author of the theory – paper but even with my physics background I had a hard time understanding it.
The free energy principle of the brain comes down to minimizing the amount of prediction error that you make day to day.
As a simple example, take what happens when you glimpse an object in your peripheral vision. At first it is not clear what it is - or, as Friston [the theorist who came up with the idea] would put it, there's a big error between your brain's prediction and what it senses. To reduce this prediction error, Friston reasoned that one of two things can happen: the brain can either change its prediction or change the way it gathers data from the environment. If your brain takes the second option you will instinctively turn your head and centre the object in your field of view. "It's about minimising surprise," he explains. "Mathematically, free energy is always bigger than surprise, therefore if you can minimise free energy you can avoid surprising encounters with the world."
I find this very appealing because it can be applied to all different types of brain activity. One covered in the article is neural plasticity:
Neuron A "predicts" that neuron B will respond to the stimulus in a certain way. If the prediction is wrong, neuron A changes the strength of its connection to neuron B to decrease the prediction error. In this case the brain changes its internal predictions until it minimizes its error, and learning or memory forming is the result.
Friston has done some experiments showing that visual perception closely matches this idea of minimizing free energy. He's also looking to cut out the 'top' of the brain, or the higher functioning cortex involved in planning, with TMS and seeing if the lower more primal neurons act in accordance with this theory.
I think this model shows nicely how the brain reacts to the environment. However there still seems to be a hole as the ultimate theory because we can consciously choose to disobey this law. We don't usually because it's much more useful to minimize surprise day to day, but the fact remains that we can.

Hakeem Nicks is in the final year of the rookie contract he signed with the New York Giants in 2009. But the wide receiver is not pushing for a new contract from the Giants this offseason, according to multiple reports.
While teammate Victor Cruz is negotiating a new deal, Nicks is taking the completely opposite approach, waiting to broach the subject of a contract extension with the team next offseason. While players mostly try to get some security by negotiating a long-term contract with the team before they find themselves on the open market as free agents, waiting next year for the contract will still work Nicks' way.
Nicks was limited by injuries last season as he hauled in 53 receptions for a career-low 692 yards. Despite having considerably better production earlier in his career, the most recent sample of Nicks' performance comes from the 2012 season, and it will likely weigh him down in negotiations this offseason. So he will patiently wait and let the Giants come to him with a contract offer giving them a fresh performance in the 2013 season to gauge his value.
If Nicks posts another disappointing season due to his ongoing lower-leg injuries, the Giants could let the free agent market determine his worth.
But at just 25, Nicks is entering the prime of his career and if he is able to remain healthy and return to dominance next season, Nicks could command a huge contract on the open market. In that sense, the longer Nicks delays negotiations for a new contract, the more nervous the New York Giants could be about losing him to an interested team. Fifth-year pro Mike Wallace set a precedent this offseason with his five-year, $60 million contract with the Miami Dolphins. Teams are willing to shell out for talented, young and productive wide receivers. However, the Giants could still hold some leverage in negotiations as they could use the franchise tag on Nicks next offseason.
Nicks could also be waiting to see how Victor Cruz's negotiations for a contract extension play out.
The Giants have given clear indications that they want to retain both of their wide receivers. The team is hopeful that it will get a deal done with Cruz this offseason. Even if they end up locking up Nicks with a higher value contract since he draws more defensive attention, it will benefit the Giants since they will be able to ensure that Nicks remains healthy during the 2013 season.
Report: Giants WR Hakeem Nicks in no rush to get new contract

Ikal Angelei: Dams, Human Rights and Local Livelihood in Lake Turkana Region, Ethiopia
September 12, 2012 @ 12:00 pm - January 12, 2014 @ 1:00 pm
Event Navigation
Please join us for a lunchtime conversation with Ikal Angelei, 2012 recipient of the Goldman Prize for Environmental Activism. Angelei founded Friends of Lake Turkana (FoLT) in response to the proposed construction of the Gibe III Dam, a project that could threaten food security and local economies of a half million people in Ethiopia and Kenya. As a result of the organization's work, major dam financers such as the World Bank withdrew funding and the Kenyan Parliament demanded independent environmental assessment of the dam's impact.

Microsoft's Yahoo! takeover faces technical challenges
Microsoft is in no hurry to integrate the technology and culture of Yahoo! should the aggressive takeover go ahead. The comments might seem a little premature, but differences in culture and technology have already arisen as possible barriers to the deal. Of course, there are other more pertinent barriers too - like Yahoo!'s …
Lessons learnt
Ray Ozzies experience...
Notes was a great product in need of a usability makeover and dynamic marketing. Having been bought by IBM, it got neither.
Groove was great technology with potential to own the groupware space. It outdid SharePoint but was easier and cheaper to setup and run.
Yahoo has a cost-effective and scalable web applications platform...
I think we can all see where this is headed.
< Center >
Nor, arguably, has a previous purchase played such a central strategic role.
Has the author ever heard of DOS ?
No acquisition?
I call Fox Technologies (Foxpro), HoTMaiL, and whoever made DOS and the *original* DBMS behind SQL Server.
Heh, even Windows NT was something out of a joint operation for OS/2 or something...
A hidden agenda behind the acquisition ...
A hidden reason behind the acquisition is that Microsoft realises that it needs to use Open Source software to be competitive in the Data Centre and Cloud Computing.
The problem of course is if they do that, then they are admitting that Windows Vista is the total piece of crap that people think it is.
So now when Microsoft want to use Open Source, they can just put it under the Yahoo brand.
Quite a clever strategy and one that is sure to make them competitive with Google's data centres in terms of processing power efficiency.
Good plan
Wait for a few months first, then they don't need to upgrade hardware to migrate to MS products... The customers that leave in disgust will lower the load, and the MS software will take up the slack in system resources.
I've been looking over what Yahoo services I personally currently use and preparing a strategy for migration in the event that MS do buy them out. If it happens, I want to be out of their ASAP, taking my intellectual property with me.
anyone with a memory?
"Microsoft has mostly grown organically rather than by acquistion" - WTF????
@Daniel SQL server was sybase I think..
SQL server was sybase I think..
Lesson Learned?
One might think the most applicable lessons would be from the history of MSN, and its success, or lack thereof.
(And if I were a Yahoo share holder, this would be enough to set me against the sale as anything.)

I seriously don't like to argue. Actually there is nothing wrong to the action of argue but is the perception I guess.

Mix magazine focuses on major studios and things you won't find anywhere else; like the sound designers for major motion pictures. In the era of project studios, the average musician may not find it directly relevant to their own work.
Mix is completely unreliable. It doesn't give anything but outstanding gear reviews, which is probably appropriate, considering it only discusses huge ticket items. It's loaded with insidiously deceptive ads (you know, the kind pretending to be another article) and the rest is just cheerleading for the top-40 pop music industry. If you're a pro you won't learn anything other than entertainment news, and if you're still trying to learn you'll get the idea that you don't have enough $$ to even get started with a studio. It's a magazine written completely for the benefit of its advertisers.

Hi from Rick: TV That's Thinking, Not Sinking
Dear Traveler,
For about twenty years now, I've hit the road every pledge season to remind people that public television is an oasis on the dial — a place that doesn't dumb us down, but engages us. It treats us not as shoppers, but as neighbors and fellow citizens. It respects our intellect, assumes an attention span, and brings us programming driven not by a passion for keeping advertisers happy, but by a passion for bringing us a better understanding of our world.
To lend a hand to this mission, I recently visited public television stations in San Francisco (KQED), Chicago the night before (WTTW), and also Minnesota's Twin Cities (TPT), where I was charmed by this red-headed public television fan and travel enthusiast. (I told him I looked just like him when I was in second grade.)
If you haven't been disappointed by the sinking standards of the Travel Channel over the last decade (where so many thoughtful travel shows have been bumped by reality shows, binge-eating programs, and the like), then maybe you're fine with the impact of corporate-owned media — where the volume is cranked up in a frantic attempt to goose viewership and keep advertisers happy.
On the other hand, if you appreciate the level-headed presence of public broadcasting and what it contributes to our society, I have a request for you.
While you're online reading my April edition of Travel News, please take a moment to "vote" for thoughtful television by going to your local public television station's website and making a contribution. You can even tell them Rick sent you.
To keep my part of the deal, this spring and summer I'll be in Europe with my TV crew, creating quality shows on Italy's Cinque Terre and Veneto, Prague, Berlin, and the Netherlands. This coming fall you'll see them on the public TV channel that you're a member of. I hope you can join us.
As I've been signing-off on my shows for two decades now, "Keep on travelin'!"
Thanks and happy travels,

A Predictable Reaction From Whites To Social Justice Writing
Do White people realize that when they respond to social justice-related writing (often from someone Black) that is thorough, passionate, and historically accurate, regarding…well anything since 1619 for starters, and they reply "well, stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something in real life!" they're exposing their racism to the world? Like a VH1 version of Behind The Racism or something?
One, who said that writing is not "doing something?" They think words don't have power? Media doesn't? Interpretations of the written words of history don't? Where have they been for the last…almost forever since the first words surfaced? The truth is, of course they know how powerful words are. They've been using them to reinforce White supremacy for centuries. This is simply a derailment tactic. They want us to think that words have no power, and silence us, while then using words and media to dehumanize us. Even in simple spaces like blogs and tweets—spaces that actually have more power than most people assumed they would when they first started—they want our voices silenced. Further, the implication that institutionalized racism, overt racism, White supremacy and White privilege evaporates by Blacks "doing something" and Whites sitting back like racial infants waiting for an intellectual diaper change is actually the work of White privilege.
Two, why is the assumption that the emotion that the Black writer feels is "pity?" What do they know of the nuanced expression involved in being truly human, if they view only other Whites as human? So naturally, they "allow" an emotion into the mix, "pity," which doesn't even remotely connect to or encapsulates what a Black writer is feeling when they write. Pity implies something internalized for the Black person, and thus, the White person making said accusation can further excuse themselves from whatever that writing contained.
And finally, why is the White assumption that said Black writer hasn't done anything with their life? What evidence is this based on? Reading an essay that hurt their little White feelings and seeing the Tumblr avatar of the person who wrote it? Ah, but White privilege means absolutely no evidence is required. Also, at the root, this response is tied into the history of calling Black people "lazy." It's very old school racism meets social media.
What's really happening is that essay hit them. They felt something. They are angry. They don't have the words or the tools to express their feelings. They feel disgusted. They lash out: "no, it must be that writer who is just 'pityful' and 'lazy.'" Those words put their backs up against the wall. Further, they decide that historical facts concerning this construct of Whiteness and this problem of White supremacy are no longer facts, just "pitiful" emotions of the Black writer who expresssed them. And, they didn't like it.

Template: Quick Collage 315
How she used it: Deb scanned in two childhood photos of her mom and used them to fill half the collage blocks. A more recent snapshot fills the lower horizontal block, and Deb filled the middle block and background with a creamy yellow color and added a text block with her greeting.
Make the card: Deb rounded the corners of her collage before adhering it to the card base. Three rub-on flowers accent the greeting, and a ribbon bow adds a girly touch to this sweet Mother's Day card.

Hello, my husband has this but it's my understanding that he wont actually "recover" as such. I think its pretty near impossible not to get enough b12 in your diet since its in lots of things, I know in his case his body just cant convert it from food so he has injections instead and will always need them. Not sure if its the same for you though since you say you are on tablets so it might be different, maybe it depends on why you are deficient.
It doesn't really affect him at all, just when it gets close to when his top up injection is due he starts to feel really tired.
My marathon build up wont start for a few weeks, still focusing on 5k and 10k races over the summer. Have a half in the middle of August but am managing to maintain a run of about 15 miles once a week so I am not starting from too far back. Hoping for a sub 3.30 in Amsterdam.
I always run alone too apart from races, in fact I hate it if anyone asks if I fancy some company because actually the answer is always no thanks, I dont! Sometimes though I do cave in just so people don't think I am a totally unsociable cow.
I would suggest you see a physio as soon as you can and get it nipped in the bud. I had a really tight calf but it was actually tendinitis in the front of my leg which is why it hurt to flex. Often pain in one place is caused by an issue somewhere else, a physio can direct your rolling and icing more accurately. Once you know what you are dealing with rather than guessing you can rethink your plan and see where that leaves you
Last year they had she wees - a bit odd at first but no queueing so worth the weirdness of a load of bare bums. Dont even consider an ipod that would be such a waste
