L-3 Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results
Net interest expense and other income increased by $1 million for the 2012 third quarter compared to the same period last year. The 2012 third quarter includes a $3 million ($2 million after income tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) non-cash asset impairment charge related to the planned dissolution of an unconsolidated joint venture. Interest expense declined by $2 million due to lower interest rates on outstanding fixed rate debt.
During the 2012 third quarter, the company recorded a debt retirement charge of $8 million ($5 million after income tax, or $0.05 per diluted share) related to the redemption of $250 million of the 2015 Notes.
The effective tax rate for the 2012 third quarter decreased by 230 basis points compared to the same period last year. The effective tax rate decreased by 390 basis points due to a tax benefit of $11 million, primarily related to the reversal of amounts previously accrued for tax years in which the statute of limitations had expired, partially offset by the expiration of the U.S. Federal research and experimentation tax credit on December 31, 2011.
Net income from continuing operations attributable to L-3 in the 2012 third quarter decreased 9% to $193 million compared to the 2011 third quarter, and diluted EPS from continuing operations decreased 2% to $1.98 from $2.02. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the 2012 third quarter declined by 7% compared to the 2011 third quarter due to repurchases of L-3 common stock.Year-to-Date Results of Operations: For the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012 (2012 year-to-date period) consolidated net sales decreased by $29 million compared to the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2011 (2011 year-to-date period). Higher sales from the C 3ISR and AM&M segments were offset by lower sales from the NSS and Electronic Systems segments. Acquired businesses, which are all included in the Electronic Systems segment, added $130 million to net sales in the 2012 year-to-date period. Net sales to commercial and foreign government end customers grew 12% to $2,223 million for the 2012 year-to-date period compared to $1,992 million for the 2011 year-to-date period. Operating income for the 2012 year-to-date period decreased by $58 million compared to the 2011 year-to-date period. Operating margin decreased by 60 basis points to 10.3% for the 2012 year-to-date period compared to 10.9% for the 2011 year-to-date period. Higher pension expense of $28 million ($17 million after income tax, or $0.17 per diluted share) reduced operating margin by 30 basis points. See segment results below for additional discussion of sales and operating margin.

We do like your idea of a fresh white/light with a pop of green or blue. Both green and blue can be used in faded tones or jewel tones -- think glass that has washed up on the beach. Purple will work as well.

In store design you want 80 percent of the decor colors to be neutral. This helps the merchandise stand out and not the paint on the wall. The remaining 20 percent should be accent colors. In your case, the neutral would be white or a light, sandy colored cream, and the accents would be the green, blue or purple. And the other colors that you will use in your lightning. Just be careful not to do too much. Too many colors will compete with one another and the merchandise.

We wish you the best on your new store!

I hate it, and so does everyone I show it to. Although I like the idea of a fresh white/light and maybe a pop of green, the name of the store is abundance, and I feel I need to use an abundant, jewel like colour - which is how i found your site - my colour of choice would be a deep purple/indigo (purple is my favourite colour too) as the background for the logo on stationery and on signage - sort of making it an accent colour to denote the luxury aspect, but keeping the fittings white and neutral. The floors of my new space will be concrete screed, and I am adding different coloured chandeliers and pendant lights in rich reds, coppers, dark browns, black (on consignment as I need lighting and the agent needs sales) I would then leave the walls white, perhaps with the occasional purple/indigo stripe - which I was thinking of doing randomly in different areas of the walls, floor to ceiling. I need to keep one wall white to display art, but the other walls are fair game - your thoughts would be appreciated email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-18848223.post-66848033441756709842014-07-17T07:52:49.310-05:002014-07-17T07:52:49.310-05:00Its a great Ideas about Retail adventurous Loved t...Its a great Ideas about Retail adventurous Loved to read your post.

The critics at Hi! Drama, whose show will broadcast on RCN next weekend, weigh in. Here's what Mark Savitt had to say about LIFT:

"Beautiful Soup is producing the American premiere of the musical Lift by composer lyricist Craig Adams and librettist Ian Watson. This sophisticated modernist work concerns the thoughts and emotions in the minds of a busker (Spencer Kurtti) and other people ascending for a minute in a lift (elevator) in a London tube (subway) station. The busker seems most interested in the secretary (Erin Elizabeth Eichorn) who is obsessed with her boss, the Bright Young Thing (Randall Glen Taylor). A lesbian French teacher (Kimberly Faye Greenberg) whose girlfriend has left finds a sympathetic listener in a lap dancer (Samantha Mercado-Tudda). The dancer's best friend is a promiscuous gay ballet dancer (Natanel Bellaishe). Two American tourists (Morgan DeTogne and Jeff Van Damme) share the ride. As one song, memory, disappointment flows into the next, we realize that all these characters are lost and searching for connection. The fugue-like stream of conscious structure of the piece makes it hard to pin down if we are in the mind of the busker/composer or the individuals he encounters, but the insights are clear and striking regardless of their source. The songs are fully emotional and lyrical without being overly sentimental or earwormy. Steven Carl McCasland's direction is uncluttered and clear, allowing us to focus on the characters and their emotional predicaments. As usual Beautiful Soup delivers the goods."

Sage green and dusty purple sounds nice. I'm not sure about the purple carpeting. I agree that it might be overwhelming, but maybe more importantly, it will limit you in future updates. I would stick to something that will blend in and not stand out -- you want the focus to be the merchandise.

I was hoping you could give me some advice. I run a small bookstore and gift shop, and I am renovating our space. I will be painting and putting in new carpet, and there is a debate on the carpet color. The color scheme that I am going for is a light sage green and a dusty purple. The walls will be painted the sage green, but I'm not sure if I should use the purple for the carpet. It has been suggested that it might be too overwhelming. My other thought was an expresso brown. What do you think? I know it's hard to make a suggestion without knowing what the space looks like, but any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

text: 4 Action PackedPimboli | 02/06/2009 | See all Pimboli's reviews (70)Forget the poor Thomas Jane version this is bar far the closest stab at getting The Punisher nearer to is comic book roots. Unlike the last version (I chose to forget the Dolph one ever happened) where the entire focus of the movie was Frank Castle getting revenge on the people responsible for killing his family this movie skirts over it.In this movie Frank Castle 'punishes' anyone who does wrong. His family was just the the catalyst. This is an ultra violent movie but one laced with humour (see how Castle dispatches one of his enemies on a rooftop with a rocket launcher as an example).Ray Stevenson of Rome fame also looks more like Castle than Jane ever did.The picture here is a 4.5 from me and the sound a 5/5 especially during the two massive shootouts that open and close the movie. If you are a fan of mindless action you cant go far wrong with this.

If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

A Novel
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
The title character of this book, Luna, is incredibly selfish and really unlikable. She is self-absorbed and never considers anyone else.
There are also a lot of other problems with the storytelling, such as that characters constantly contradict themselves for no reason, leaving the reader left without any sense of what the characters actually believe.
Also, Peters is clearly trying to break down gender stereotypes with this book and instead reinforces them stronger than ever.
This just scratches the surface. . .
A beautiful book, one of Julie's best.
I really liked this book because it gives you an idea about what transexuality is, I didn't really understand what transexuality was so it was a really interesting read.
I read this book in french, it's not bad at all. Pretty good actually. I found myself learning a lot about what I didn't know before regarding transsexuality. It put me in Luna's position. Although the book finishes without the actual ending, I still loved it and I am dying to know what really happens to Luna in the end.
One if my favorite books of all time !! Glad i was rols bout this book in high school.
One of the first books I've read that really made me take an interest in transexuality. Still one of my favorite books on the topic. My friend read it and said it was awful, so I can say I was happily surprised I enjoyed it. Couldn't have been any better if it tried! :)
This was an amazing book. I enjoyed the point of view of the novel. It would've been to predictable for it to have been told from "Liam's" point of view.
I thought this book would be better, but it was still really good!
I loved this book and it really made me take a different look at how I view those different than me.
Not my favorite but I definitly learned a lot.

'Looking Ahead,' Mike 'Doc' Emrick Leaves MSG/Devils for Reduced National Schedule
Longtime New Jersey Devils broadcaster Mike "Doc" Emrick gave up his duties last week with MSG Network. As we reported at the time, the acclaimed play-by-play man will concentrate on calling national games on NBC and Versus.
"It was something that I had, at least, given some thought to during the playoffs," Emrick tells FishbowlNY.
Emrick, who'll turn 65 on August 1, was given time after the season to weigh the tough decision.
"It was a matter of me looking ahead," Emrick says. "I'm fine now, I'm the same as I've been the last few years."
But Emrick said the choice of leaving his beloved Devils first meant having the ability to look into his crystal ball.

Venture Brothers Review: "Pomp & Circuitry"by Jim Garner at . Comments
While I am excited that we are finally getting to see the rest of the season four episodes, I have to admit that this week's episode, ""Pomp & Circuitry," while enjoyable as a whole, felt a bit disjointed.
First off, who knew Hank would make such an awesome S.P.H.I.N.X. spy? It was nice to see he actually has gotten some skills from Brock with all the traveling they did together. However, I am glad that Hank is not running off to S.P.H.I.N.X. just yet. I think Dean would be a bit lost without him.
I will now always worry if I put a toaster, a shoe, and files in the same drawer. Seeing what Phantom Limb was able to do with those was either pure genius or pure madness (maybe a bit of both.). I am constantly reminded how incredible the writing staff is at taking pop-culture icons and applying a real life to them. Seeing Prof. Impossible as a recluse and broken down because of personal issues was both sad and funny at the same time.
As to feeling disjointed, I felt almost like we were nearly watching three different episodes that were cut together. While I will admit the Hank/SPHINX plot started off connected to Dr. Venture and Dean plot, the Phantom Limb plot had no attachment to the rest of the episode. In fact, the only connection I could make was the last line of the episode after the science center was blown up by Phantom Limb and Dr. Venture said, "It wasn't me this time."
And what was with the council of 13? We saw them discussing replacing #8 since he merged with #3 and then not another peep except for a "movement" joke. I will be honest and say that if there was a reason/joke for the brief visit to them, I did not see it at all.
What did you think of the episode? Where you glad to see Hank back in his old haircut?
Jim G. is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow him on Twitter.Tags: Venture Brothers, Reviews
I agree with D. Think of watching an episode of the Venture Bros. as reading a chapter, or a few chapters, in a book. There are lots of plots that appear completely disparate happening "at once" in most action/adventure/mystery novels. Also, there isn't exactly what I would call "a writing staff". It is all completely written by Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick.
I think you're thinking too much into it for one episode, this is stuff that will build up into future episodes. It's not all that stand alone.

Hot, Hot, Hot Sauces!
Bring the heat! Hot sauce has become a popular and much-touted meal addition in the U.S. and around the globe. Some brands have become standouts because of the massive buzz surrounding them, but the hot sauce world is extremely diverse. There's a lot of competition out there to be the latest and greatest in fierce and fiery sauces. We've rounded up 16 seriously spicy contenders — which will be your new favorite condiment?
By Lauren Haslett
Celeb Chef Sauces
Many famous chefs have come out with their own lines of branded products, like cookware and other kitchen goods. But the new trend in chef-inspired preparations seems to be hot sauces — Emeril Lagasse, one of the Food Network's biggest names, created several hot sauces that sport his familiar face, including a red pepper blend. Made with the traditional flavors of Emeril's home state of Louisiana in mind, the cayenne-based Kick It Up Red sauce also contains vinegar, salt, and garlic for an extra kick. If cayenne isn't your favorite flavor, go for the chef's slightly milder green pepper sauce, which has a jalapeño base.

Lady Gaga & Grace Jones' Design Dopplegangers|
Life & Love News
So much has been made of the copycat beef between my Jamaican gal Grace Jones and a little-known chanteuse named Stefani Germanotta, but there's no denying each lady's individual ability to rock a crazy outfit. Or that the current vogue for kooky 80s art world excess isn't limited to music or fashion. Wall Street 2′s hit theaters, its original theme song got the American Psycho treatment last year, and at the same time two iconic furniture makers of the 'Greed is Good' decade, Garouste & Bonetti and the Memphis Group, are experiencing quite a renaissance. Forget comparing Grace to Gaga; let's find their 80s décor doppelgangers:
GJ in her "I've Seen That Face Before" video and leading Memphis member Ettore Sottsass' 'Carlton bookcase' both make pointy, colorful statements. Jones' recent cone hat looks remarkably like Garouste & Bonetti's design for the Belles de Ricci perfume bottle, and this masque shares its horns with the pair's famous 'Barbarian' chair. While Grace was always poised for hand-to-hand combat, Memphis envisioned the traditional boxing ring as a technicolor bed. (Karl Lagerfeld even owned one back in the day!)Read More»

Big Sur, California (CNN) -- A nearly uncontrollable 550-acre wildfire showed no mercy Tuesday and burned several homes in California's Big Sur, including the fire chief's.
That twist wasn't lost on Fire Chief Martha Karstens of the Big Sur Volunteer Fire Brigade. She oversees firefighters in a coastal wilderness renowned for its raw beauty.
"The irony doesn't escape me, and again, I try to set an example for fire clearance," Karstens told CNN.
With severe drought conditions in the chaparral and timberland, the erratic fire was burning nearly uncontrollably, with only 5% of it contained, authorities said.
Are you there? Stay safe, share your images
"The situation was too much," Karstens said of the wildfire, whose growth potential was rated "high" by fire officials.
"I went out to fight a fire. I had my purse, my cell phone and my glasses, and I didn't know I was going to be trying to save my own home," she said.
Firefighters have 36 hours to put out the fire before a weather system brings 30-mph gusts to Big Sur, which could energize and expand the wildfire, CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said.
"It's the wind that's going to get so very bad," Myers said. "It's going to get ugly, and it's going to get ugly fast.
"This is going to be a big fire if we don't get it out in the next 36 hours," he said midday Tuesday. "It's going to get tragically bigger."
Residences in the Pfeiffer Ridge community were evacuated.
About 500 personnel were fighting the Pfeiffer Fire, which started about midnight Monday, and its cause is still being investigated, officials said.
The Pacific Coast Highway, also known as California Highway 1, remained open in Big Sur, authorities said Tuesday.
Almost all of California is in a severe or extreme drought, the National Drought Mitigation Center website says.
The Big Sur area is listed as being in a severe drought, and cattlemen such as Dick Nock are struggling with an extreme drought just down the coast.
Nock's rangeland along California's picturesque central coast usually shimmers in a green grass blanket in December, but not in this dry spell.
"Everywhere you look, it's just dirt. This is the worst drought I've ever seen in 80 years," he said.
Nock recently thinned his herd from 400 to 200 cattle to save money. His livestock require expensive hay, he explained.
San Luis Obispo and neighboring Santa Barbara counties have been tagged with "extreme" conditions. For example, the 5,000-acre Lake San Antonio in the San Luis Obispo County coastal mountains has shrunk to 5% of its capacity, closing boat ramps in October, officials said.
Fire officials south of Big Sur are on alert for brush fires there, said Robert Lewin, the Cal Fire Chief for San Luis Obispo County.
CNN's Dan Simon contributed from the Big Sur, and Paul Vercammen contributed from San Luis Obispo County. Michael Martinez wrote from Los Angeles.

The "X-Plane 10 HD Scenery Mesh v3″ scenery is completely free to download and free to use. I call it Donationware because if you like the scenery, you are invited to donate for it:
DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE / MODIFY / OR CHANGE (for 3rd party purposes) any parts of "HD Mesh Scenery v3″ without asking for permission in advance (usually I allow almost everything, but I like to know about it!).
X-Plane 10 HD Scenery Mesh v3 is an update to the older v2 HD Mesh (and a replacement of the default Global Scenery) and brings a lot of improvements in many areas!
Covered Regions (see coverage on the download map below):
- Europe (Canaries included)
- North America (USA, Alaska, Canada)
- Japan
- Hawaii
- NEW: Australia
General charcteristics
(some improvements were mostly in v2 too, but some are new to v3)
- It is a much higher resolution base mesh (more, smaller triangles) compared to the default Global Scenery which ships with X-Plane 10 (one could say: approximately 3-4-times more dense). This has been increased over v2!
- The higher resolution mesh allows for a much more detailed representation of the elevation profile of the landscape
- The higher resolution mesh allows a much more detailed/exact representation of the underlying landclass data (because of the smaller triangles, which can follow landclass changes in the raw data more closely)
- It is based on a completely new Openstreetmap (OSM) data (approximately 10th of October 2014), which brings (compared to default Global Scenery) a lot of improvements in:
- water features (lakes, rivers, coastline) – many previously missing water features are now finally there
- roads
- railroads
- power lines
- urban park areas
- (was in v2) It includes line rivers from OSM (not just polygons as before) tagged waterway=river which improves the landscape in most regions quite a bit
- Water features (lakes / rivers) in Canada are now sourced from original government data instead of OSM (because OSM had some quite big gaps).
- (was in v2) Uses improved urban zoning (thanks to improved algorithms in the scenery generator)
- Many smaller and larger landclass data improvements
- Australia has now its own higher resolution landclass data
- Europe received forest detail improvements by mixing in "Landsat Tree Cover Continuous Field" data
- (was in v2) completely replaced the landclass data for Canada (big improvements)
- (was in v2) Japan has now its own higher resolution landclass data
- (was in v2) some new classes added (in many regions), like: moraines, riverbeds, mining/dump sites
- (was in v2) added differentiation between ice (perennial) and snow (more temporal) to have an even more detailed representation of mountains. There is a nice description of this by Albert (the texture master) on x-plane.org: follow this link
- (was in v2) added differentiation between irrigated / non-irrigated crops (in some regions – like the USA etc.)
- (was in v2) Completely replaced the elevation data with viewfinderpanoramas.org (if you have a few cents, donate to that guy!). This doesn't changes much in areas which were already great, but fixes some which were really hosed.
- Latest airport data (end of September 2014) boundaries used, to have up to date airport areas.
Fixes / Imporvements in v3
- Much smaller forest type changes are now correctly depicted, bringing more versatility to the forest landscapes.
- It turned out (thanks to a user report), that in Northern Europe, I did a misinterpretation of the underlying, raw landclass data, and thus introduced too many forests (where normally the land would be wet grassland –> "inland marshed" and "peat bogs").
- Square (orthogonal boundary lines) forest areas inside large forest stands (where inside the big stand the forest type changes – often visible in Canada, or where you have large, extended forests). This was a very long standing, and annoying problem (or side-effect) of the scenery generator, which I could finally fix to a level, where the internal forests patches look much more natural now (the orthogonal/square pattern is now definitely mostly gone).
- Intermittent Water features (and OSM tag) removed (quite common in Canada).
- Roads all over the airports – this was a bug of the scenery generator. This is now fixed. In v3 there will still be OSM based roads inside airport boundaries, but they are eliminated from runways / tarmacs / taxiways.
- Mesh spikes (a few in Southern Louisiana, in NE Alaska around the Canadian border, and one in Massachusetts) – these are coming from the source elevation data. They have now been fixed in the source data as of April 2014.
- Some roads missing in the center of some cities (like for example in Rostock / Germany) – usually those were roads marked as "pedestrian only".
- Some railroad lines appeared, which did not exist at all (for example at Miami Intl.) – turns out, my import script didn't remove some historical railroad lines. This has been fixed.
- Highway 1 across the Florida Keys was missing – in this case it was a shared vector which also had historical railroad tags and was thus removed. This has been fixed.
- Some lakes and water featues were missing (like Silveretta Stausee) – these lakes had some less common "leisure" tags and were filtered out. For example "natural=water AND leisure=marina" have not been imported in v2. This has been fixed.
- You might have seen excessively high skyscrapers in very few locations (known places are Manhattan, Honolulu) in very rare cases (interestingly this issue does not show up on 99% of the installations … and even when it shows up, its not always reproducible over recurring sim starts … and yes, I could verify, that at least on the data side, they are indeed present in the DSF scenery data). This is a known bug in the scenery generator, which has already been fixed. Thus, these skyscrapres should be eliminated in v3.
- Deep "canyon" around Telluride (east of KTEX) … Obviously the river-in-mountain-smoothing-algorithm went haywire here. This river – and a few more – should be fixed in the next version, but I can't make this 100% perfect, so there will always be a few, remaining "offenders" I am afraid.
- Many airports have trees on them, their terrain is not appropriately smoothed or they have no grass on it. Usually this comes from outdated apt.dat (the basic information about airport layouts in X-Plane) used at the time of the scenery creation. More than 850 airports (freshly from the X-Plane Gateway ) have received an update in v3.
Warnings / Requirements
- The scenery requires at least X-Plane 10.25 (beginning with 10.25 beta 1) which provides quite a few new terrain types/textures which this scenery relies on! Without it, your X-Plane will very likely crash on scenery load!
- Please only download a smaller ZIP file at the beginning! Then test if it works for you and only then continue downloading other tiles! Do not unnecessarily overload the hosting providers! If possible, use the BitTorrent option at flightsim.com!
- You might need very long time to download all tiles. Single file sizes go up to 3,6 GBytes! In the map you can see the size of each tile.
- Your X-Plane 10 FPS might become very low (if you already have FPS problems, this will not improve your situation!)
- 32bit X-Plane will often crash and is no recommended! Scenery shifts (when new, adjacent tiles need to be loaded) exhaust the usual 32bit memory address space most of the time.
- If you have less than 4 GBytes of RAM, don't even try! With 64bit, I recommend at least 8 GBytes or RAM for a smooth (hopefully crash free) experience (and if you combine it with other scenery and want to be on the safe side, take at least 16 GBytes of RAM)!
- Please read the installation instructions carefully, as most of the problems result from an incorrect installation!
- If it still does not work on your machine, there is not much I can do for you (mostly because of the above limitations)!
Mirrors / Torrents
You can click on the desired tile in the following map, which will open a little balloon, including the file name / file size and the direct link to one of the mirrors:
- flightsim.com (with offical torrents!)
- isdg.com.au
- aerosoft.com
- x-plane.org
where the files are hosted (the files are identical across all sites, you only need to download one of them). You can (and should) choose one of those sites with the least traffic bottleneck (you might try, and see how fast your downlaod goes).
flightsim.com supports torrents now out of the box! You can (and should if possible!) start using BitTorrent directly on the respective flightsim.com download pages (the links in the dynamic map will bring you there)! Look for the tiny, round, blue button with "qb" written on it: !
flightsim.com also offers you a first class membership (which at $30 for a year is less than many other, commercial add-ons might cost you), which removes all bandwidth limits for direct downloads at flightsim.com (other than the ultimate, physical limit posed by their server / ISP environment which is shared among all users). The flightsim.com BitTorrent support does not need a first class membership!
If for some reason the map does not work, the following links will bring you directly to the list view on the respective hosting sites:
A complete list of all torrents is also available here (thank you ISDG):
Chris K from ISDG says:
Via DVD delivery
At the moment, HD Mesh Scenery v3 is not available on DVDs as this is a service provided by www.fspilotshop.com. But I have already contacted them, and they definitely want look into this and hope to make it available in the future (no more details at the moment, but I will update it here, as soon as they become available).
IF you already have "HD Mesh Scenery v2″, you can delete it now (or at least give it a lower priority in scenery_packs.ini than v3):
- Create a Subfolder called zzz_hd_global_scenery3 in your Custom Scenery folder (using the zzz_ prefix should highlight, that this package should load at the "bottom" of your scenery list!)
- Create a Subfolder called "Earth nav data" in your zzz_hd_global_scenery3 folder (here, its very important to namke it EXACTLY "Earth nav data" and don't make any typos etc.)!
- After you have uncompressed the ZIP file(s), put the resulting scenery folders (they should have names like +50-130,+30-120,+40+010 etc.) in the previously created (sub)folder "zzz_hd_global_scenery3/Earth nav data"!
- Now you can continue with the scenery_packs.ini section if this is your first HD Scenery Mesh v3 package! Otherwise you can now start flying.
If you have successfully installed HD Mesh Scenery v2, then you can follow the same procedure for v3. I only recommend, that you use a new Custom Scenery folder for v3 (like: zzz_hd_global_scenery3)
If you are still not sure, how your folder structure should look, it should resemble something like this (this is an example with only some of the packages/regions visible):
(You only need to do this once, when you install your first HD Mesh Scenery v3 package … All other packages are going in the same Custom Scenery folder, so they don't need extra attention)
Beginning with X-Plane 10.10 there is a new "layer control", which sets the order of the custom scenery layers explicitly. This happens with the file Custom Scenery/scenery_packs.ini and is documented here: http://developer.x-plane.com/2012/07/scenery_packs-ini-what-was-i-thinking/
Here are the most important points:
- If you start X-Plane 10 the first time OR deleted(!) the scenery_packs.ini, it will create a new scenery_packs.ini and populate it exactly in the alphabetic order of your current folder names in "Custom Scenery" (in this case, the zzz_ prefix helps).
- If you already have a scenery_packs.ini (you have already run X-Plane 10 at least once), any new folder in "Custom Scenery" will be put automatically on the TOP (beginning) of scenery_packs.ini (which puts your new scenery folder at the highest level)!
- You can (and should) always manually sort / organize the scenery_packs.ini, as X-Plane only rewrites it when you delete it
- For HD Mesh to work well with other Scenery Packages, its best to put it at the bottom(!) of scenery_packs.ini! You can either copy the entry manually to the bottom, or if you don't care, you just remove scenery_packs.ini and when its recreated the next time, the HD Mesh folder lands at the bottom (as it will be sorted in that position alphabetically)
How to know if the installation was correct?
After some time, it turns out, that more often than I thought (or hoped), people have a broken installation and do not see/use HD Mesh Scenery (even if they think so). There is a very easy and straight forward way (other than obvious or less obvious visual cues) to check, if X-Plane is really loading the HD Mesh Scenery (and thus, your installation was correct).
- After a – hopefully – correct installation and correctly setting up scenery_packs.ini (see above) start X-Plane at a location where you have added HD Mesh Scenery coverage (of course, it makes no sense to check where you do not have it)!
- When X-Plane has loaded up your airport and you see the scenery, close X-Plane again cleanly (this makes sure, that really everything has been written to the Log.txt).
- Now open a file browser, go to the root directory where X-Plane is installed and open the file Log.txt (thats where X-Plane logs everything good or bad).
- Search for text like "zzz_hd_global_scenery3″ (or the EXACT name you called the installation folder inside "Custom Scenery").
- If you find multiple lines, which look like "DSF load time: 5869136 for file Custom Scenery/zzz_hd_global_scenery3/Earth nav data/+40-130/+48-123.dsf (635549 tris)" (of course, exact dsf file name, and numbers will vary depending on the place you loaded up) then everything is OK! X-Plane is indeed loading DSF (Scenery) files from you HD Mesh Scenery installtion.
- If you do NOT find any such line mentioning loading HD Mesh Scenery v2 DSFs (with "DSF load time …. for file Custom Scenery/zzz_hd_global_scenery2/Earth nav data/ …"), then something went wrong and you should carefully re-read the installation instructions!
Known issues
In the meantime there are already quite a few known issues, which will (or will not) be addressed in a future update / release:
- Strange plateaus around airports. In most (if not all cases), this is not an error in the HD Mesh Scenery itself, but a result of disabling "runway follows terrain contours" in X-Plane Rendering Options. So, whenever you see something strange happening around airports, first try to enable "runway follows terrain contours" before you report an issue!
- Airports have trees on them, their terrain is not appropriately smoothed or they have no grass on it. Usually this comes from outdated apt.dat (the basic information about airport layouts in X-Plane) used at the time of the scenery creation. This can happen at any time when newer apt.dat is introduced (sometimes even by airport sceneries themselves).
Here are the official screenshots accompanying the release of HD Mesh Scenery v3. Just follow the links to my picasaweb albums:
Difference between HD Mesh Scenery v3 and SimHeaven.com photoscenery!
At the moment there is NO photoscenery available which is based on HD Mesh Scenery v3. But this will change quite likely in the future.
Why is region X not covered?
This question has been asked so many times, that I think, I should finally – should have done so a long time ago – post about it on this page too:
The real problem is not so much "my preference" for Europe or North America or Australia. The problem is much more, that I do not have equally good data for all parts of the world! The greatest problem is usually land cover data, which gives the fantastic detail to the landscape (or lets it look dull … if there is no good enough data). Europe and North America (and New Zealand, Japan and lately Australia) do have very good (or sufficiently good/usable sources which can be mixed well enough to get good results) land class data, which allows me to create the great scenery you have now … the HD Mesh Scenery. .
A very good example, where you see how much difference good land class data makes, is my latest Japan effort. See the comparison screenshots:
The default Japan scenery has the same quality land class data as for example South America … and then see, what difference the new, high resolution land class data makes! And exactly thats the problem … because I usualyl need land class data which is:
- high resolution
- good quality (its very hard to quantify for "outsiders", whats good and what is not so good –> but the better the data, the less time I need to work on it … but rest assured, there is no geodata which can be used out of the box)
- with large area coverage (the larger the covered area, the more my time investment can pay off)
- free (yes, that is something quite important, as I try to continue to keep the "product" free / donationware)
Without data like that, it makes far less sense to create a HD Mesh scenery for a given region.
BUT: rest assured, usually I am almost always scouting for new land class data! Whenever there will be good data for other regions, I will be there to check it out and generate scenery from it (if it is reasonable).
Data Sources / Acknowledgments
The following data sources have been used to make this scenery possible (none of them has been used in its "pure", raw form but all have been mixed / merged together in one form or other, to achieve these results):
- Elevation data:
- Land cover data:
- Europe, CORINE from EEA
- USA, NLCD from MRLC
- Canada, Land Cover, Circa 2000
- World, GlobCover
- New Zealand, LCDB
- Japan, ALOS Land Cover, from © JAXA
- + JPGIS2.1, KSJ –> Zoning
- Australia
- Additiona forest data:
- Landsat Tree Cover Continuous Fields (improving forests in Europes land cover, making them more detailed)
- Climate:
- Vector data:
- OpenStreetmap
- CanVec from GeoGratis (Canadian vector data used to have a complete coverage of – almost – all water features in Canada! There, its the single source – instead of OSM – for water features.)
- Popultaion density:

Have a lot of fun!

X-Plane 10 Tree Lines and Farms v2
You might consider adding another – free – little add-on from this site, which helps to improve the overall feeling (especially in large, agriculture / pastures dominated regions!):
Bonus experimental (dense) forests
Experimental, dense XP10 forest replacement! This is the same package as from the HD Mesh V1/V2 download (so, if you have downloaded it from there, you do not need to do it again)!
If you want to try out a bit more dense forests in X-Plane 10 (maybe together with the above HD Scenery), then you might be interested this:
- Download this ZIP file: http://www.alpilotx.net/data/xp10-dense-forest-replacement.zip
- Unzip it (you should get 261 FOR files)
- Put the 261 FOR files in the X-Plane 10 folder: /Resources/default scenery/1000 forests/ (if its warning you about overwriting existing files, then you are doing the right thing – otherwise, you have choosen the wrong place)
- Before overwriting, you might consider backing up the folder! But any X-Plane update would restore it to its original anyways (if you allow it to do so)
A few things to consider with this experimental(!), dense forest replacement:
- It will probably make your FPS worse! (depending on your 3D card, this effect might be more or less strong)
- At each update, X-Plane will ask you, if it shall overwrite the contents in the /1000 forests/ folder (restore it to the original, X-Plane "default)! You can always deny, or accept it (this way, you can get bet the default, even if you didn't do a backup). And from time to time, you SHOULD go to the X-Plane default, as it will be improved too (over time), so you might miss out on improvements there!
- PLEASE DON'T REDISTRIBUTE this forest replacement pack! Its experimental, and should remain as such. Over time, I think we will tune X-Plane 10 default forests to a point, that you won't even consider this pack anymore.
Have fun with it!

Semtech Announces Second Quarter Of Fiscal Year 2013 Results
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today reported unaudited financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2013, which ended July 29, 2012.
Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $150.7 million, up 15.7 percent from the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 and up 29.2 percent from the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Second quarter revenue included a full quarter of revenue from the Gennum acquisition, which closed on March 20, 2012. Revenue attributable to the Gennum product group was $35.3 million.
Gross profit margin, computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was 49.5 percent compared to 60.4 percent in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 and 47.4 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. GAAP gross profit margin for the quarter was negatively impacted by a $17.7 million purchase accounting adjustment related to inventory acquired from Gennum, which lowered GAAP gross margin by 11.7 percentage points.
GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $10.0 million, or approximately 15 cents per diluted share. This compares to GAAP net income of $27.1 million or 40 cents per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 and GAAP net income of $2.2 million or 3 cents per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.In the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, Semtech recognized a GAAP tax benefit of $11.3 million primarily as a result of the regional tax impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to the Gennum acquisition. This tax benefit positively impacted GAAP diluted earnings per share by approximately 12 cents. To facilitate the complete understanding of comparable financial performance between periods, Semtech also presents performance results net of certain non-cash and one-time items. Semtech's non-GAAP results exclude the following items:
- Stock-based compensation expense
- Acquisition related fair value adjustments
- Option and restatement related expenses
- Transaction and other acquisition related items
- Intangible amortization and impairments
- Restructuring and integration related expenses
- Release of prior accrued taxes on foreign earnings

Arizona. These seven letters make up more than just one of our 50 states. They make up the home I've known since 2007, and the place I never want to leave. To me, Arizona is more than just a blistering desert; it's the place where I want to finish out my education, start my career, and someday raise my children. Arizona is the perfect place to live; from the Grand Canyon to the infamous Lake Havasu, we have everything your heart could ever desire.
Arizona is the superb combination of urban city life and small town country living. If you want to reside in a fast-paced, industrialized city, we've got plenty of them (most notably Phoenix). Yet, if you're looking for that perfect small town away from all those city lights, settle down in some place like Florence. Also, compared to other states we have no natural disasters. No oceans for tsunamis, no tornadoes, hurricanes, and barely any earthquakes. It's a perfect place to live!
Now let's get to the most amazing part... THE WEATHER! Arizona has got the best weather in the entire country. With our 50-degree, two-month winters, it's the most ideal place to be during that time of the year. But don't worry, if you want snow we've got plenty of it in northern cities like Flagstaff. Then summer rolls around and even though it's very hot, we've got plenty of lakes and pools to cool you off. Also, we're mere hours away from some of the greatest places in the world. Beaches in California and Mexico, Disneyland, and Las Vegas are all awesome places that are easy driving distance from Arizona. What else could you ask for?
I am so proud to be living in Arizona. I am so blessed to wake up every morning and know that I will be spending another marvelous day in the Grand Canyon State. This is the only place I can see myself living in the future and I can't wait to see what amazing opportunities are thrown my way as I reside under the great Arizona sun.

Water leak in helmet stops spacewalk
|In this image from video made available by NASA, astronauts discuss the aborted spacewalk aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday, July 16, 2013. A dangerous water leak in the helmet of Luca Parmitano, bottom center facing camera in white suit, drenched his eyes, nose and mouth, preventing him from hearing or speaking as what should have been a routine spacewalk came to an abrupt end. (AP Photo/NASA)
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — An astronaut had to rush back into the International Space Station on Tuesday after a mysterious water leak inside his helmet robbed him of the ability to speak or hear and could have caused him to choke.
Italian Luca Parmitano seemed fine after the dangerous episode, which might have been caused by a leaky drinking bag. His spacewalking partner, American Christopher Cassidy, had to help him inside after NASA quickly aborted the spacewalk.

"excellent recipe! i had golden raisins & oatmeal to use up and this was the perfect recipe. Easy to make, not to sweet or salty and just flavorful all over. my bf, who's isnt a cookie person, loved this as well. i brought it to work and everyone raved about and wanted me to take more!"
"great recipe! we've been mixing soy and balsamic as a dip for a while now, but we never thought to boil it and make it into a sauce. great idea. we didn't have chili peppers and did w.o it, the chicken still came out tender and flavorful. We used skinless thighs and cooked about 45 minutes. If you want to thicken the sauce fast you need to leave..."
"i was very excited to try this recipe, but i was so disappointed at the outcome. it didn't taste as good as all the reviews made it out to be. i used a boned thigh and didn't think of marinating the meat because the recipe didn't call for it. the meat was very bland, the coating wasn't as flavorful as i thought it would be. it smells nice when c..."
"Wohooo...no need to throw that foam bottle away and pay those outrageous prices anymore!! Thanks, the recipe worked out great!"
"Excellent dish. I used 1 head of garlic...cut into little pieces. Garlic came out toasty and delicious with the cauliflower."
