Scale model painting
If you are interested in scale models painting and assembling you are in the right place. The goal of this site is to provide you with some information and software that helps you in painting your scale models to make them very close to reality. Enjoy both the process of painting and the excelent exterior of your models.
Paint codes
Model painting manuals and descriptions ususally reffer to code of color defined by some color standard or code of paint defined by paint manufacturer. The most popular groups of codes are :
Federal Standard 595B
British Standard (BS)
US Mobility Equipment Research & Design Command
NATO camouflage
Gunze Color
Life Color
Polly scale
Model master
Often colors that have different standard codes are identical or similar enough. Also in most cases it's possible to find paint(s) that can be used instead of recommended one. For example color "Federal Standard 595B -
" and color "US Mobility Equipment Research & Design Command -
"Deserd Sand"
" are the same; this color is close enough to color "FC -
". Most applicable paints for these colors are: "Life Color -
" or "Polly Scale -
Paint combination
Sometimes painting schemes provided by model kit manufacturers recommend to use not only certain paints, but also mixts of the paints (for example 30% of paint "A" plus 70% of paint "B"). In most cases it's also possible to find the paint(s) that is close enough to the the resulting color the paint combination.
Recommended mixt:
Resulting color of the mixt:
Applicable paints:
Tamiya X4 : 25%
Tamiya X6 : 75%
Life Color UA088
Humbrol 113
Scale lighting
The fact that some detail of the prototype (for example aircraft) is painted with some color doesn't mean that this detail of the model should be painted with the same color too. The color of a small model seems to be darker then the same color applied to some bigger model. This illusion of the vision should be taken in account when you choose paints for your model; especiaaly if you use information about painting the model made for some different scale, or descriptions of the prototype. In short words the smaller the model is the lighter the color should be.

Canon EOS 100D
In summary
The relatively small size and light weight of the EOS 100D will make it a sought-after DSLR for travellers, bushwalkers and anyone who finds the current cameras have been too big and heavy. Its ability to accept most of Canon's lenses and accessories and merge seamlessly into an existing system make it a good choice as an extra body to complement a 'full frame' camera system.
Like the EOS 700D, the 100D has a well-designed user interface with a wide range of user-adjustable controls plus a well-thought-out suite of automated functions to help less experienced photographers achieve the high picture quality this little camera is capable of.
Full review
Canon's EOS 100D has created a lot of interest since it was announced on 21 March. We published a detailed 'First Look' at the key features of the EOS 100D on the day of the announcement but were unable to conduct any performance tests. Having received a production-standard camera, we are now able to apply our full suite of tests and report upon them in this review.

Who's it For?
The relatively small size and light weight of the EOS 100D will make it a sought-after DSLR for travellers, bushwalkers and anyone who finds the current cameras have been too big and heavy. Its ability to accept most of Canon's lenses and accessories and merge seamlessly into an existing system make it a good choice as an extra body to complement a 'full frame' camera system.
Like the EOS 700D, the 100D has a well-designed user interface with a wide range of user-adjustable controls plus a well-thought-out suite of automated functions to help less experienced photographers achieve the high picture quality this little camera is capable of.
Key Features
The EOS 100 D is smaller than the EOS 700D (116.8 x 90.7 x 69.4 mm vs 133.1 x 99.8 x 78.8 mm) and weighs less (370 grams vs 525 grams). It's larger than the EOS M because it has an SLR's reflex viewing system with an optical viewfinder, whereas the EOS M forces users to compose shots on the LCD monitor.
Interestingly, there's not much difference in body size between the EOS 100D and the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the E-M5 body is actually three grams heavier, although it's 27.5 mm thinner. But add the standard kit lens and the 100D plus lens becomes 42.2 mm longer and 92 grams heavier.
The EOS 100D has the same 18-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 as the EOS 700D, EOS 650D and EOS M cameras but in a DSLR body that is smaller and lighter than the 700D and 650D bodies. Continuous shooting capabilities are middle-of-the-road. The 100 D's maximum continuous burst speed is four frames/second (compared with 5 fps for the EOS 700D and 9 fps for the E-M5) The buffer memory can accommodate up to 28 JPEG files or seven CR2.RAW files.
The EOS 100 D's built-in flash has a guide number of 9.4 (metres/ISO100), which is less powerful than the EOS 700D's GN 13 flash. The E-M5 relies on an external flash, supplied with the camera.
The 100D's control layout is similar to other EOS cameras at this level, with a standard mode dial, Quick Control/Set button, Live View/Movie button and buttons for accessing the ISO, Menu, Info, Aperture/Exposure compensation, AE/FE lock, AF point selection. magnify, Playback and Erase functions. Plenty of 'creative' filters and scene pre-sets are provided, including new Kids, Food and Candlelight modes.
The fixed 3-inch Clear View II TFT capacitative touch screen has a resolution of approximately1,04,000 dots and a viewing angle of roughly170-degrees. It supports familiar gesture controls like pinch-to-zoom and image-to-image swiping in playback. Touch focusing is supported all over the screen.
Playback options are standard for EOS cameras at this level and the bundled software includes Canon's Digital Photo Professional raw file converter. Manuals in PDF format are supplied on disks for both the camera and the software.
Our review of the EOS 100D was carried out with the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens, which is reviewed separately (INSERT LINK).The 100D's Imatest results were similar to those from the EOS 700D,which is to be expected as they share the same image sensor and processor.
JPEG files from the review camera had slightly lower saturation than those from the EOS 700D, while the saturation in raw files was slightly higher. As with the 700D, JPEG files produced resolutions slightly below expectations for the 18-megapixel sensor, while CR2.RAW files exceeded expectations. High resolution was maintained across the review camera's sensitivity range, as shown in the graph of our Imatest results below.
Image noise in test shots was also similar to shots taken with the 700D, with little noise visible up to ISO 3200 and a gradual increase in the visibility of noise thereafter. Although noise could be seen in long exposures at ISO 12800 and images were slightly soft, we found no noticeable deterioration in the intensity and accuracy of colours in test shots.
Flash exposure levels remained relatively constant across the camera's sensitivity range and exposures were almost noise-free up to ISO 6400. Some softening could be seen at ISO 12800, where the influence of ambient lighting on exposures began to be evident. We found no evidence of red-eye in portraits taken with the camera's flash.
Auto white balance performance was similar to the 700D's. Shots taken under incandescent lighting retained a warm bias, while shots taken with fluorescent lighting were almost cast-free. For both lighting types, the pre-sets slightly over-corrected but manual measurement delivered a neutral colour balance. Plenty of in-camera adjustments are provided for tweaking images as you shoot and white balance bracketing of +/- three levels in one-step increments is available.
Video quality was as good as we found with the EOS 700D, which isn't surprising as this feature is similar in both cameras. Differences between the HD 1080p and 720p video clips were largely related to the frame resolution. Clips shot at VGA resolution were very good for their frame sizes.
We found the same slowing in autofocusing speeds when shooting in the live view mode. Soundtracks were slightly less engaging than those from the EOS 700D because they are monaural. However, you can add an external microphone if you want stereos recordings. The wind filter/attenuator enabled us to reduce wind noises in soundtracks but couldn't handle very windy conditions.
Our timing tests were conducted with an 8GB SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC UHS-1card. The review camera powered up ready for shooting in 0.75 seconds. We measured an average capture lag of 0.1 seconds when the viewfinder was used for shot composition, and 0.95 seconds in Live View mode, caused by autofocus lag.
This lag was eliminated when shots were pre-focused for viewfinder shooting and reduced to 0.22 seconds in Live View mode. Shot-to-shot times averaged 0.4 seconds without flash and 0.66 seconds with. High-resolution JPEGs took an average of 0.6 seconds to process, while CR2.RAW files were processed in just under two seconds and RAW+JPEG pairs in a little over two seconds.
In the continuous shooting mode the review camera recorded 10 Large/Fine JPEGs in 2.6 seconds, which is close to specifications. It took 3.5 seconds to process this burst.
With CR2.RAW files, capture rates slowed noticeably after seven frames, which were recorded in 1.8 seconds. It took 7.7 seconds to process this burst. For RAW+JPEG pairs, capture rates slowed after three frames, which were recorded in 1.2 seconds. It took six seconds to process this burst.

Top 10 Lessons of IFBC in New Orleans + Links
It's now been a week since the start of the International Food Bloggers Conference in New Orleans, hosted by Foodista and Zephyr Adventures. The memories from that long weekend are as rich as the desserts we tasted from Chef Tariq Hanna of Sucré, one of the sponsors of the Friday night dinner at The Monteleone Hotel. We even found a bit of South Carolina in the Big Easy, as evidenced by the photo to the right.
Among other things, we met Chef John Besh and Chef Susan Spicer, tasted entrees from a score of restaurants around town and learned tips and techniques to improve our coverage of the food, foodies and food culture of the Pee Dee Region of South Carolina.
It's hard to top such an experience or distill it down to a few bullet points. That said, we do enjoy a challenge. After some negotiation, Mrs. PDF and I agreed upon the following …
Top 10 Lessons Learned at IFBC NOLA 2011
10. Food photography doesn't have to involve expensive equipment, just key techniques and patience.
9. When it comes to your editorial and posting calendar, it's quality over quantity that makes a blog successful.
8. Recipes are wonderful to share, but telling a personal story about why they are special can make a lasting impression.
7. Branding a blog involves age-old methods, including the 4 P's: Product, Place, Price and Promotion.
6. Google's innovations have changed the way people search. Content is king, but structure is queen.
5. Parkinson's Law: Work expands so as to fill the time allotted to complete it.
4. Restaurant reviews should be completed using generally accepted guidelines for consistency and impartiality.
3. The Food Blog Code of Ethics may be optional for some, but we're making it mandatory on PeeDeeFoodie.com™.
2. Great food is still the lifeblood of New Orleans. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
1. The food blogger community really is one. We're proud to be a part of it.

JFK Blows The Whistle: Secret Society Speech
The dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts, far outweigh the dangers that are cited to justify them. There is a very grave danger than an announced need for an increased need for security, will be seized upon by those anxious to expand it's meaning to the very limits of censorship and concealment. That I do not tend to permit, so long as it's in my control – JFK

Thank you, you're absolutely correct!
From my soul to yours...Be Well & Prosper!
"To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness." ~ John Dewey
We soul-driven entrepreneurial types are an interesting lot… we are compelled to do something that we believe is about who we are as a business, allowing passion and enthusiasm to guide our lives and businesses, following an inner need to pursue truth and express it honestly as we know it, creating our own unique path by being our authentic selves, and all with the desire to make the world a better place for being in it. Even more, we do this in the face of daunting external odds, intimidating circumstances, often on the leading edge of our respective industries and with generally not enough resources to make it all happen. And yet – we do it.
Every morning, you probably find yourself wanting to lay in bed, but you can't – your brain is already on. And you remember all the cool stuff that you get to learn and do and your business pulls you out from under the sheets to get going. And you have a day that's filled with unpredictable occurrences, amazing synchronicities and wondrous discoveries (amidst all the turmoil, chaos, last-minute urgencies, multiple priorities, and not knowing feelings).
At the end of your day that has flown and is now probably hours later than most people would leave work, you reluctantly decide to stop doing what makes you a little crazy and yet is your outlet and source for an energy that you can't get anywhere else.
And you think about how it went, realizing where you could optimize an opportunity better tomorrow, and a new solution for something that was holding something up and a better way to support a client… all in the interest of doing it all over again.
While most people would likely not understand the lure of soul-driven entrepreneuring, you can't help it. Your soul calls you forward and asks you to become a bigger person to not just match the energy of being more conscious but of creating a new livelihood and becoming a change agent for other people. That is the real meaning of doing it right as a soul-driven business owner. And it requires constant reinvention on your part…
Just when you think you are 'there', wherever that might be, that you've finally gotten the hang of what was a challenge for you, you are stretched to new levels of insight, awareness and, accordingly, action. Your spirit compels the expression of your biggest you, which is constantly evolving to be even bigger. What's a soul-driven entrepreneur to do?
Three Things You Can Do Today:
So, the next time you think 'when is my life / business going to slow down?', remember that you have a requisite lifestyle of reinvention as a soul-driven entrepreneur. And by following what makes you happy, you're doing it just exactly right.
Learn more about the author, Lynn Scheurell.
Thank you, you're absolutely correct!
From my soul to yours...Be Well & Prosper!
Thank you, Lynn for this excellent article.
I wonder, what drives one to constantly (for me, every 10 years or so) reinvent their life through soul-driven entrepreneurial ventures? To try something new. .. stretch the limits. . . invent, etc? What are your thoughts on this? Nature? Nurture? Both?
Mary Doane www.projectnature.org www.simplegiftsnh.com
Thank you for making me re-think! Great article!
ah, lovely reminder, thank you. action! right timing. peace on earth, Zal.
This is one of my favorite topics, to be sure... and in my world, the drive for reinvention is something that occurs with cultural creatives and people who want to do something significant in contribution to the world.
There's definitely different wiring in us that compels us (not really a choice) to go further than where we've been. I often say that soul-driven business is like an accelerated personal development program on steroids... you really get to know your "stuff" when you go beyond where you've been / beyond your comfort zone.
So, I don't know if it's nature, nurture or flat-out hard-wired for being a leader in personal transformation in service to the world... whatever it is, I'm grateful for it, am blessed to do what I do for a living (to support others in their fullest soul-driven expression of who they are through entrepreneuring) and SO happy to meet other people who resonate with it!
Thank you for reading... here's to getting to our next best level!!! ;+)
With good energy ~

text: tour spotlight By Andy Argyrakis hit the road Revive and Denny Rockey Blink tour grAce community church/ streAtor, il P h o to s b y A nd y A rg y ra k is . Revive Denny Roc key Imagine a younger version of INXS or Midnight Oil planted in modern rock sensibilities with inspiring lyrics. That's exactly what Australia's Revive brought to a jam-packed Grace Community Church. Considering the fact that the group hails from the land down under, the comparisons to those above countrymen are easy to spot, though the group's also gotten an extra leg up by touring with multi- platinum Aussies, the newsboys, while being introduced to Essential Records by Third Day. Even with all its famous friends, Revive's 75-minute show more than proved its international merit thanks to a set list between its rousing debut disc Chorus of the Saints and the even more compelling new collection Blink. Fans leapt to their feet for the crunchy guitar rockers "Almost Missed This Moment" and "My Hope," both of which unveiled the group's pensive lyrical dynamic that points to a higher power without ever coming across as preachy. Revive demonstrated additional variety thanks to power ballads like "Hold On Love" and "All of This For You," followed by a spot-on cover of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" that highlighted the foursome's seasoned musicianship. Yet it was the title tracks from both CDs along with the charging "Don't Give Up the Fight," that provided a jolt of faith renewal to the all-ages audience. Prior to the headliners, solo artist Denny Rockey (also of Final Quest fame), performed a full band set split between covers and originals. A stirring take on Jesus Culture's "Your Love Never Fails" and Chris Tomlin's "Our God" suggested the powerhouse singer could very well follow in either of those recognized praise leaders' footsteps, while the Indieheaven top 20 track "Until My Breath Runs Dry" and the congregationally centered "My Anthem" put a vertically vibrant cap on an all around uplifting evening. 20 CCM

Three new titles highlight the challenges facing the incoming administration
As supporters of Barack Obama celebrate their candidate's historic victory, political observers and potential appointees are already turning their attention to questions of transition and governing. Three new titles from the Brookings Institution Press bring timely and expert analysis to bear on the changing political landscape and the immediate challenges facing the incoming administration. Each has garnered considerable attention already and should continue to do so.
• Stephen Hess, the nation's most experienced expert on presidential transitions, is author of What Do We Do Now? A Workbook for the President-Elect. His book already has been positively reviewed in Library Journal and featured in U.S. News and World Report. What Do We Do Now? will be launched and excerpted as part of an ambitious Brookings-wide initiative on the presidential transition. On Thursday, November 6, Hess will appear on NPR's Diane Rehm Show, Fox 5 DC morning news, and will also participate in a Washington Post on-line chat. The book will also be excerpted in tomorrow's edition of Politico.
• Kurt Campbell and James Steinberg are the authors of Difficult Transitions: Foreign Policy Troubles at the Outset of Presidential Power. Drawing on decades of high-level government service and public policy experience, former presidential advisers Kurt Campbell and James Steinberg review past foreign policy episodes and identify the major pitfalls that a president-elect must try to avoid in the early days of an administration. Both authors are well known in policy circles — e.g Steinberg has been widely mentioned as a potential National Security Adviser. The book will be launched with fanfare on November 13 at the Center for a New American Security, a Washington think tank. The dust jacket includes endorsements from Brent Scowcroft, Richard Holbrooke, and Madeleine Albright.
• Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, and Martin Indyk, former US ambassador to Israel and current director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings, head up a stellar cast of authors on Restoring the Balance: A Middle East Strategy for the Next President. This is the first book to leverage fully the resources of these eminent foreign policy organizations. The goal is a new, nonpartisan strategy toward the tinderbox Middle East. The book will be rolled out in both New York and Washington with launch events on Tuesday, December 2, and it will receive a heavy publicity push from both institutions. It may ride the coattails of last week's cover story in Newsweek, coauthored by Haass. Among the other authors are Steve Simon (coauthor of The Next Attack), Kenneth Pollack (A Path Out of the Desert), and Bruce Ridel (The Search for al Qaeda).

VIDEO: Tunstall confident Hens can make playoffs
Delaware senior safety Ricky Tunstall is aware that his Delaware Blue Hens are trying to steady a listing ship in the team's off week.
Delaware is coming off back-to-back losses in which they have been outscored 60-10 in the last 6 quarters...losing 34-14 at New Hampshire two weeks ago and 26-3 last weekend at home against Maine.
Tunstall is 5th on the team in tackles with 29 in 6 games and also has a pass interception, which he returned 91 yards for a touchdown against Delaware State in the second week of the season.
Tunstall also has a sack, three pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
The Glassboro High School graduate was a teammate of fellow Blue Hen safety Tim Breaker and both enjoy the competition between the two that has been going on since they were 5 years old.
Like many of the Blue Hens, Tunstall is happy for the week off to take care of some nagging injuries.
And he feels Delaware can still be a playoff team, in spite of back-to-back losses.

Since 2003, the Society has run a Photographic Competition for members to put forward their photos.
The entries are judged by Derry Brabbs, the photographer closely associated with AW, and we would like to thank Derry for again taking the time to judge the competition.
The 2013 Society Photographic Competition
Twenty-eight Society members submitted a total of 75 images for the 2013 Photographic Competition, which was, once again, judged by photographer, Derry Brabbs.
Derry had another difficult task in judging the entries, which were of a high standard.
The winning photos are below and to view all of the entries plus read Derry's comments on the winning photos click here
Second place goes to Andy Beck (Member 1015) with Loweswater Gold. This is a beautiful image, well composed and exposed, perfectly encapsulating the joy of being up on the fells. There are no redundant areas in the frame and the dark notch of the foreground hillsides lead the eye directly to the sunlit valley floor below with light glinting off the lake and streams.
Runner up: Loweswater Gold Andy Beck
The winning photograph, The sun smiles on the North Western fells, taken by Niels Rasmussen (Member 2181), is one of those utterly captivating images that any photographer would be proud to have in their portfolio and is the perfect example of what can be achieved by being in that right place (with a camera!) and at exactly the magic moment when nature puts on one of its better light shows. The tightness of the framing is impressive and maximises the strong clouds and shafts of sunlight sweeping down either side of Causey Pike's serrated summit.
Winner: Niels Rasmussen (Member 2181)
The Society would like to thank Frances Lincoln Publishers for generously donating prizes to the Winner and Runner-up this year. We also thank the members who submitted entries and special thanks to Derry for judging the competition.

Squad Captain
Class standing: Senior
Major/Minor: Psychology/Business Law
Year on squad: Second
Hometown/High School: Yorba Linda, CaliforniaEsperanza High School (Go Aztecs!)
Other school activities: Sorority Member/Treasurer
Career goals: Law School
Person with the most influence on my life and why: My parents. They have always been there for me, believe in me, and have supported me in everything that I do. They have taught me to never give up, always try again, and live every day to the fullest. I am so grateful to have them in my life. My life would not be complete without them.
Hobbies: Favorite movies are Serendipity, How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, and The Holiday. Favorite TV shows are Friends and Grey's Anatomy, I listen to all types of music, but love Country! I love everything and anything Italian. I also enjoy taking studio dance classes, and many outdoor activities.
I am happiest when: I am dancing or just being with family and friends. Dancing is my passion and form of self-expression. I get to have fun and be myself, there is nothing I enjoy more. I also love spending time with my family and friends. I have a huge Italian family and it is the greatest feeling to walk into the room and be with people you love just as much as they love you. Spending time just hanging out with my friends is always a great time. We don't even need to talk to know what each other is thinking and are always there for each other.
I am most proud of: I am most proud of being a member of the USC family and being able to represent the University as a Song Girl.
Dance/Cheer experience: I started dancing at two years old. I was on my Middle School Dance Team, dance competitively with my studio, and was Captain of the Varsity Song Squad at Esperanza High School.
Best word that describes me: Enthusiastic. When I do something, I give it my all. I believe that you can do anything when you put your heart into it.
Favorite aspect of USC/Reason for attending USC: Attending USC is a dream come true. The academics are exceptional in addition to having outstanding athletic programs. The traditions at USC and the people there are amazing. Everyone goes out of their way to help. It is truly a family.
Favorite aspect of being a Song Girl: Performing onstage or at a game. The feeling that you get right before you go on and once you are out there performing as part of the squad, is the greatest in the world.
Favorite Memory on the squad so far: There have been so many wonderful memories, but my favorite memory was right before we performed for Songfeast. It was our first stage performance as the 2007 squad. We had been working so hard practicing our routines. We were standing on stage behind the curtain along with the Spirit of Troy, waiting to start, so anxious for it to begin. It was a feeling I will never forget.
Looking forward to on the squad this year: Can't wait to march through the tunnel and onto the field in the Coliseum and see 90,000 Trojans all screaming for USC. Nothing compares to the feeling of being in the Coliseum. Fight on!

Search engine behemoth Google announced its first quarter revenue after the bell last night, meeting analyst expectations but also announcing that it is doing a stock split that sees its founder retaining their controlling stake.
First quarter revenue came in at $8.14 billion, in line with investor and analyst expectations. Shares rose 0.6 percent to $655 in after-hours trading. But perhaps the bigger news was that the firm is going to do a stock split, essentially giving a tranche of stock to existing shareholders as a dividend in the ratio of two for one. But the split has been carefully engineered so that Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin retain control of the search engine firm.
"When we went public, we created a dual-class voting structure. Our goal was to maintain the freedom to focus on the long term by ensuring that the management team, in particular Eric, Sergey and I, retained control over Google's destiny," Page said in a letter explaining the moves.
"We are creating a corporate structure that is designed for stability over long time horizons. By investing in Google, you are placing an unusual long term bet on the team, especially Sergey and me, and on our innovative approach."
"This stock split dividend, a dividend of a non-voting shares, is really just so the company can maintain control," BGC analyst Colin Gillis said.
The announcement comes just as Page completes a year of his return as chief executive.
Net revenue, excluding fees paid to partners, came in at $8.14 billion in the three months ended March 31, compared with $6.54 billion in the year-ago period. Analysts had expected $8.15 billion according to Thomson Reuters. Earnings came in at $10.08 per share, excluding certain items, surpassing the $9.65 that analysts had predicted - a welcome relief after Google had missed earnings estimate in its previous quarter.
Net income was $2.89 billion, or $8.75 per share, compared with $1.80 billion, or $5.51 a share, in the year-ago period (when Google also wrote down a $500 million charge to settle a government probe into its advertising practices).
The results show that Page has settled into his new role as CEO well since he took the reins a year ago. He's steadied the ship, got Google+ towards some semblance of proper competition against Facebook (though it has an awfully long way to go) and also signed a $12.5 billion deal to acquire smartphone maker Motorola Mobility Inc to help get its Android and phone businesses kicking harder. For now, Google is still every bit the search engine advertising king.
Perhaps tellingly, on the earnings call Page dodged questions as to whether Google will release its own tablet to compete with the Apple iPad and its ilk. Watch this space.

Re: Borderlands 2 PC (Steam) split-screen / dual-monitor guide
Thanks to OP for directions. It has been great playing BL2 two player on 2 screens.
But with today's patch (November 13th) it has become impossible to load up a 2nd instance. As soon as any character (existing or brand new) is loaded by the 2nd (sandboxed) instance and joins a game it crashes. A single instance works fine, regardless of profile, character, or if Steam is online or offline. The same issue occurs if I load the sandboxed instance first - the un-sandboxed instance crashes when its character tries to join a game.
The error file suggests missing files in Steam (see edit below).
Anybody else had this problem since this new patch? Is there a change I need to make to the sandbox profile?
Edit: I have tried verifying files and I have uninstalled and re-installed but still with no joy.

Re: Borderlands 2 PC (Steam) split-screen / dual-monitor guide
@timthedim: thanks for the respone. Yes, I got to this solution myself last night after re-reding this entire thread and seeing that others had a similar problem before the patch. Just adding that one command has made all the differenec (plus I can now access all the options for both insatnces).
On a side note: as frustrating as doing this kind of thing is, it is what I love about PC gaming - the flexibility and the challenge. It's like one massive boss battle.

Re: Borderlands 2 PC (Steam) split-screen / dual-monitor guide
When running the game in Sandboxie, I'm getting and error message:
"Steam.exe (main exception): Unable to write to the current Steam application folder. Please move steam to a folder where you have write privileges."
I am the administrator for the account and we followed all the permissions instructions in the main post and selecting "Run as a UAC Administrator" before loading. Any idea what's going on?

Re: Borderlands 2 PC (Steam) split-screen / dual-monitor guide
For some reason i cannot get my sandbox instance of the game to recognize my controller inputs
help would be nice
edit: ok so i now found that my problem is not with sandbox not understanding my inputs. because i opened a different steam game with sandbox and the controllers worked fine, so borderlands is the only game with a problem, also if i start with the launcher, the launcher recognizes the controller, but once the game starts it wont recognize it. The normal instance of steam however does work with the controller. Im so confused anyone have some clue whats wrong here?
edit again: fixed it by only pluging in the controllers when the game starts, not before then

Re: Borderlands 2 PC (Steam) split-screen / dual-monitor guide
Hello, very impressed with the amount of information on this subject. I just purchased Borderlands 2 and with the help of this tutorial I was able to enjoy this game with my friend.
I am running into one nuisance, I do not mind it but I have been trying to find a remedy, maybe yall can help me out? :-)
Nuisance: Unable to get a 'perfect' fullscreen on TV display, left with a constant reminder of you are playing in a window, instead of on a TV.
if I open a browser, and or any other program that has windows on the TV, I can drag them to the top or right of screen and Window 7 will half it or Maximize it. Also when just clicking maximize it will maximize within the TV screen.
If I try this with Borderlands 2, the screen teleports to the first display.
If I change the settings within BL2 on the TV display to 'Windowfullscreen', it teleports to first display
If I change the settings within BL2 on the TV display to Fullscreen, it teleports to first display
In all I would like to run BL2 on my second display (TV) in fullscreen. Also, sometimes I am unable to drag over the window BL2 for to the TV, usually i have to close and reopen my batches and try again. Maybe that has some correlation with the nuisance.
I have tried numerous attempts at tweaking options in the NVIDA controller but I have not have any luck.
Did I miss something simple? Please enlighten me, and thank you.

Re: Borderlands 2 PC (Steam) split-screen / dual-monitor guide
Glad you found it useful!
What you need to do is use -WindowedFullscren in conjunction with -WindowPosX=N, where N is the pixel width of your primary display's current resolution, if the secondary display is to the right, or minus that amount (e.g. -1920) if the secondary display is to the left.
Also, you can move windows between screens with SHIFT + WIN + Arrow Keys. This works for a WindowedFullscren instance of BL2 (not Fullscreen, though), but sometimes you have to mash the arrow key quickly a few times to make it take.
Good luck!

R.I.P Glasto's Dance Village- Long Live Silver Hayes!
The infamous 'Dance Village' of Glastonbury's is no more. In name at least, as the village has been undergone a gentrified rebrand and shall be now known as Silver Hayes. The inspiration behind the new name is taken from one of the oldest fields on Worthy Farm where upon Glastonbury takes place, which is also know as Silver Hayes. The new Silver Hayes area will play host to three stages; the headlining tent Sonic , the Wow Stage which introduces the most promising underground talent and stars of tomorrow and finally Gully, which is to be a replicated urban street showcasing the newest MC's and DJ's on the urban circuit. With names such as Nas, Disclosure, AlunaGeorge and Sub Focus all scheduled to play Silver Hayes, the name may be gone but the future still looks bright for the future for Glasto's 'Dance Village'.

A blog at the New York Times suggests that the retailing giant amazon could be cooking something in this front owing to its superior analytics capability and data storage and apply it to run its online operation as an AWS service. While AWS says this is a rumour its a thought that definitely will revolutionize businesses and probably few would want to be left behind rather than becoming a pioneer.
"Amazon has the expertise and the computing power to do something like this," says Kyle McNabb, a vice president at research firm Forrester. "They could rent an analytics engine to people on a quarterly basis, possibly offer to match your data to other large data sets and find something useful."
Amazon has a number of unique assets that can be brought to bear should it decide to offer a big data service. First and foremost, it has a wealth of data that it gathers from its own operations and its affiliates, and makes these figures available on a very select basis to its largest retailers in a service called called Amazon Retail Analytics (ARA) Premium. It would not be difficult for Amazon to offer such a service, since many of the company's major products are already on Amazon Web Services, and other legacy applications are being moved there. That means that data management tools like Map Reduce (currently a feature in Amazon Web Services), payment security and fraud detection software, and Amazon's product recommendation engine could all be in the system.
The Elastic MapReduce from Amazon, an implementation of Hadoop data muncher powers major providers like Yelp, Foursquare, Etsy and Razorfish along with some taking it a step forward to create plugin to Eclipse IDE to query data stored in Elastic MapReduce. NYT states that "They are particularly interested in fraud detection and product recommendation, which are proven valuable things," says the chief executive of an analytics software company who requested anonymity because of his ongoing business discussions with Amazon.
Talking about competitors Forrester has claimed that someone will offer this as a service in absence of qualified people to make sense of the big data primarily pointing to leaders like Oracle which has assets but might not take interest or IBM and Apple is a possibility given the focus on customer behavior the companies have compared to others. But needless to say who has the better resources to pioneer this. Remember 2012, the year of BigData?

In 1283, when Edward I defeated Llewellyn the Last, the Principality of Wales (Llewelyn's lands in Gwynedd and those of his native vassals) came under the rule of the English king by the Statute of Rhuddlan. In other words, the title of Prince of Wales was merged in the English Crown but not abolished, since it was granted by Edward I to his son. The Principality of Wales remained a distinct entity, a right of the English crown, administered by the Council of Wales. The Council's continuing existence until its abolition after the Revolution in 1689 indicates that the 'Principality of Wales' can be spoken of until that point, and for Jacobites the abolition of the Council and, implicitly, the Principality of Wales as a distinct entity from England by a revolutionary government cannot be regarded as legitimate. It is incorrect to see Henry VIII's series of acts to harmonise English and Welsh law between 1535 and 1542 as Acts of Union in the same sense as the Acts of Union of 1707 and 1801; they were designed to incorporate the March of Wales more fully into England and their effect on the Principality was incidental. To all intents and purposes, in spite of the imposition of county administration on the Welsh and the acts of Henry VIII, the Principality of Wales continued to exist as a theoretical entity until the Revolution.
Numerous Welsh aristocrats, many descended from the old native nobility, showed great loyalty to the House of Stuart and Wales was a hotbed of Jacobitism. Most famously, Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn, 3rd Baronet, decided not to raise a Welsh force to join with the Prince Regent when he entered England in 1745. Had he done so, the retreat from Derby might never have taken place and George of Hanover might have been overthrown. Sir Watkin was the son of Jane Thelwall, great-granddaughter of Sir John Wynn, 1st Baronet of Gwydir, who was the descendent of Owain Glyndwr (last native Prince of Wales) and Head of the House of Aberffraw.
The Houses of Cunedda, Aberffraw and Dinefwr
In around 440AD, if the ancient Welsh genealogies are to be believed, Cunedda Wledig, a descendent of Roman or Romano-British war leaders in the 'Old North' came from the Kingdom of Gododdin (near Edinburgh) to the land of the Venedoti, Gwynedd. The straggling dynasty that Cunedda established and that bore his name provided the kings of both Gwynedd and Deheubarth.
Rhodri Mawr (c. 820-878), was one of the few kings of the House of Cunedda to unite Wales but the traditional principle of partition required him to divide his kingdom between his sons. Rhodri's eldest son Anarawd ap Rhodri established the senior House of Aberffraw, which ruled Gwynedd and then all Wales until the defeat of Llewellyn the Last (1223-83). Rhodri's grandson Hywel Dda (880-950) established the Kingdom of Deheubarth. However, the Kingdoms of Wales were united in the Principality of Wales, ruled by the House of Aberffraw, in the 1160s.
Owain Glyndwr, the last native Prince of Wales (who asserted his sovereignty by summoning a Parliament at Machynlleth) apparently died without issue. At this point the position of head of the House of Aberffraw reverted to Robert, eldest son of Maredudd ap Hywel of Tywyn, who became the progenitor of the Wynns of Gwydir, the last of whom was Sir John Wynn, 5th Baronet, who died in 1719. Sir John died without issue but Jane Thelwall, descendent of a daughter of the 1st Baronet, continued the line into the Williams-Wynn family. On this interpretation of the descent of the House of Aberffraw, the present head of the House is the descendent of Jane Thelwall, Sir David Watkin Williams-Wynn, 11th Baronet of Bodelwyddan (b. 1940).
The Kings of Deheubarth, the junior descendents of Rhodri Mawr, also have descendents today. Rhys ap Gruffydd, King of Deheubarth (1132-97) had a daughter Gwenllian (d. 1236) who married Edynfed Fychan, Seneschal of Gwynedd, who was the ancestor of Owain Tewdyr who apparently married Catherine of Valois, the widow of Henry V. His second son by Catherine, Edmund Tudor, 1st Duke of Richmond, married Lady Margaret Beaufort, making him the progenitor of the Tudor dynasty. When Elizabeth died in 1603, the last of the direct Tudor line, the Tudor succession reverted to the descendents of Margaret, eldest daughter of Henry VII, who had married James IV of Scotland and was the grandmother of Mary, Queen of Scots and great-grandmother of James VI of Scotland, the first Stuart to rule England.
If the House of Tudor is taken to represent the legitimate descent of the House of Dinefwr, the successor of the House of Tudor (Franz von Wittelsbach) is the head of the House of Dinefwr.
Wales' Constitutional Status
It is clear that, for Jacobites, the Principality of Wales exists as a separate entity from England, administered by the Council of Wales. What is less clear is whether the English Crown ever had the right to annexe the Principality to itself. Aside from questions concerning the legitimacy of the Plantagenets as rulers of England (let alone Wales), the legitimacy of the Statute of Rhuddlan is doubtful. If the Statute of Rhuddlan were to be repealed it would leave Jane Thelwall's successor as Prince of Wales and, presumably, legitimate the acts of Owain Glyndwr as Prince of Wales, most notably his summoning of a Parliament. This would require a Parliament to be established for Wales.
It may be that Jacobite legitimism requires one, in all honesty, to disregard the Statute of Rhuddlan. In the absence of this solution and, bearing in mind the present King's descent from Hywel Dda and the Stuart monarchs' implicit recognition of the Statute of Rhuddlan, it seems that a Jacobite must at the very least support Welsh devolution and the Welsh Assembly as an approximation to the legal and constitutional recognition of the Principality of Wales.
In this regard it is interesting that, when the Welsh Assembly requested armorial bearings the College of Arms responded in 2008 by producing a new badge for Wales. This is the arms of the Princes of Wales surmounted by St. Edward's Crown (rather than the Prince of Wales' coronet, as in the arms of Charles, Prince of Wales). The use of St. Edward's Crown symbolises the sovereignty of the Queen of England rather than the Prince of Wales (who has no actual sovereignty over Wales), and the placing of the Crown over the arms of Llewellyn would heraldically indicate that these are the arms of the Queen in right of Prince of Wales (compare the use of St. Edward's Crown in the arms of the Isle of Man). Whilst a coat of arms can scarcely be accounted a constitutional change, the use of these arms on Welsh Assembly measures is equivalent to the use of the royal arms on Acts of the Westminster Parliament, thereby suggesting that Wales is a distinct constitutional entity from England.

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - The D.C. region is getting a good dose of Civil War history this week on both sides of the Potomac River, beginning with Monday's reopening of the African American Civil War Museum in the nation's capital.
The museum highlights the role of black Americans in the war: 250,000 fought for the Union during the course of the conflict.
"It's one of the best kept secrets of American history," museum curator Harry Jones says. "It was intentionally suppressed early in mid-20th century."
Jones, who had a relative fight for the Union, says the museum aims to avoid the controversy over the role of black Americans in the war by using primary documents to tell the story.
"If you weren't there, if you didn't live the history, you do not get a quote in our exhibit," he says.
The museum has been around for 10 years. But its new site at 1925 Vermont Avenue in Northwest is 5,000 square feet and allows for many more artifacts and documents. It's also right across the street from the African American Civil War Memorial.
The reopening of the museum comes the same week that Manassas will commemorate the Civil War's first major land battle in 1861.
On Wednesday, the day before that commemoration begins, the Civil War Trust will turn over an additional 54 acres of land to the National Park Service to be included in the Manassas National Battlefield Park. Trust spokeswoman Mary Koik says the new acres already are surrounded by the park but have been in private hands.
Prince William County and Manassas are planning a large number of events starting Thursday to commemorate the 1861 battle, including a battle reenactment Saturday and Sunday that could include as many as 10,000 participants.
There are similar events planned across the country over the next four years.
"We were expecting a lot of folks to care about this, but it's been greater than we anticipated," says Koik.
