JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) -- City officials in Jackson seek to padlock three businesses following an undercover investigation into counterfeit and stolen merchandise being sold.
According to The Jackson Sun, the city is trying to close International Fashions, the College Market and the Royal Quick Stop under the public nuisance statute.
Mayor Jerry Gist said two owners of businesses might have left the country. He did not identify them.
The Jackson Police Department raided the businesses on April 30, investigating organized theft and sale of stolen goods.
Police records show officers have been sent to the markets numerous times on a variety of crimes.

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1
Windows Media Player 12 - Problems
I'm new to Windows 7 and I'd appreciate some help with Windows Media Player 12.
Problem 1:
I was experimenting with adding tracks to burn without actually completing the process of burning.
Now, whenever I logon, a balloon notification pops up saying I've two tracks to burn.
When I open WMP12, under 'Unknown' the two tracks are there.
These were certainly on the CD I was experimenting with.
However, when I right-click>Delete, they simply won't delete
Advice please?
Problem 2: maximising the WMP12 window? I've right-clicked the icon>Run as maximised etc
But it is simply not holding this command and always opens up in a small window, meaning I always have to maximise it
I'm clearly missing some tricks here, so could anyone advise?
Many thanks

Hello everyone! I just wanted your thoughts on something. Here's a little background on my story. :)
I've been with someone for about a year now. I'm 26 and he's 29. About 2 months into our relationship, he said he saw me as just a friend (even though we were like a couple), and he said he didn't want to lead me on, and he broke up with me. We got back together because I told him I wanted him to give it some more time because I know we had potential (at that point I knew he was scared of commitment). Five months after that, when I brought "us" up, he had a mini freak out and broke up with me and said I was just a really good friend to him and he said by then he would've known for sure whether he wanted to be with me or not. I was heartbroken and I told him we had to cut off all ties. After staying away from each other for a couple of weeks, he came back and said that he was sure about me and wanted to be with me and for the first time told me he was in love with me. Things have been great since then. We talk about the future. Sometimes we talk about hypothetical babies. We don't really talk about solid plans though.
As we're nearing the one year mark, out of the blue I started getting really depressed last week. I realized my mind's been wandering lately and I was noticing a serious lack of "romance" in the relationship (romance might be a fufu term - I just mean - I don't feel appreciated in the relationship). He never tells me I'm beautiful, he doesn't do anything special for me (even though he's there for me in all the little ways). I didn't really care about any of that stuff before, but somehow right now that's bothering me to the point where I'm thinking of my exs and thinking back to how lovely it was to have someone tell me that I was beautiful (pathetic as that sounds). I feel like I need some validation. That's where my worries started - and then it escalated. I realized we weren't really going anywhere with this relationship - I've never wanted to date someone for 5 years and then be engaged for another 3 years before getting married. While that works for someone people, I don't think it works for me. I want to either move in with the person and have solid plans for a future together. When I brought "us" up a couple of days ago, he said he knows he doesn't give me the attention I deserve - he said right now he's bogged down with work. And then he started bringing up problems that weren't problems right now - for example, he said he wants a dog in the future and I don't like dogs - and he said we're very different. And he asked me "do you think we're different?". It almost sounded like he was making up excuses why we wouldn't work long term. So I told him the reason I brought "us" up right now was not to discuss future problems, but to acknowledge our current problem - which was that I was feeling neglected in the relationship.
Right now we see each other 3-4 times a week. He always comes over when we hang out and stays at my place. He's helping his mom pay for her house, so right now he can't afford a place of his own (and it doesn't look it it's going to happen any time soon). He owns a business, so that's his top priority right now. I don't see him making any kind of solid commitment towards me, even if it is just to live together. I know he cares for me and loves me and won't ever cheat on me. He spends all his free time with me (which isn't much because he's always working). But I want something more. I'm his only best friend. Am I asking for too much if I tell him what I want? Would it be a terrible thing if I wanted to move on if he's not ready to be "my man" and come home to me every night? And most of all, am I dwelling on the romance aspect too much??
I know every person is different. Just wanted to see what other women thought about this.

I stopped breastfeeding my DS back in December. I have not had the symptom of tender boobs, I think my nipples are becoming more sensitive though. Is this normal for the second time around? Burning tingling nipples was my first symptom with DS. I also have less cramping...I still have some, but far less than my first pg. Is this normal for the second time around?
|Sat, 04-02-2011 - 9:51pm
My first 2 are 14 months apart. With my son I was sick ALL day and night. I was throwing up ALL the time. My boobs hurt like crazy and I was soooo tired. When I got pregnant with my daughter I didn't even realize it. I knew because I missed my period and got a BFP. I threw up maybe twice the entire pregnancy. Didn't really feel sick and my boobs didn't bother me nearly as bad. I also didn't have as many cramps. So I would say you are fine. My 3rd baby came 5 years after my dd. I had the same symptoms as I had with my first ds. I'm not sure if it's because he was a boy or because of the length of time in between.
|Sun, 04-03-2011 - 9:38am
I have to agree all pregnancy are different this is number 4 for me and I have no signs at all other than missed period and my boobs sometimes burn like let down and cramps but that's all... Normally I have already had a ultrasound by now so the wait is killing me!!!! I just wish I could feel preggo so I know it's true but sometimes I wonder lol even though the test says I am I don't feel like I am yet!
|Sun, 04-03-2011 - 3:34pm
With my oldest, dd, I had all of the pregnancy symptoms starting a week before af was due. My boobs went from a small C to a DD in two months and I was throwing up several times a day. When I got pregnant with ds, there was a little bit of breast tenderness, although not much, and I threw up maybe once or twice the entire pregnancy, but the cramping was absolutely horrible! With this pregnancy the cramping has been really bad, too. I always feel as if af is about to start.

Shay Bunch Photography

Wedding: 10/16/2010
My wedding photography was the most important part of my day. I wanted everything to be recorded so I could look back and remember even the smallest moments. Shay was amazing!! She was with me almost every minute from my hair and makeup to the last dance. I loved every picture that she took, the positioned pictures were wonderful but I think the candid pictures were the best. She captured the day beautifully. She always seemed to be in the right place at the right time and the best part was that she was not an intrusion she was a guest. She made the day great. She didnt force herself into situations she was simply there to guide us to where we needed to be. When she brought the pictures to me, she gave me pictures that I didn't know that I wanted or thought that I needed to capture the day; but there they were right in front of me. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I will absolutely be using her in the future for any sort of professional photography I need. I would give my highest recommendation for her and her company!! I can not only call her my photographer but I can also call her my friend. She has a gift to see what the average person doesn't and she sees it through a lens. I thank her everyday for making my wedding day a beautiful memory that will never be forgotten.

Wedding: 11/11/2011
Shay was AMAZING!! On my wedding day she was with me from the time I woke up until me and my bridal party went to sleep! She captured EVERYTHING. My bridal party and my father in law still talk about how she was "everywhere"! She didn't miss anything in the ceremony, the first kiss, the lighting of the unity candle, my parents coming down the isle, me reading to my husband in the foyer, the snapshot from the balcony of the guest, everything! My memories of my wedding are not only kept forever because of her quick thinking, but also I remember how relaxed I was because she had everything under control. She was so involved in the wedding planning process before the wedding too. We emailed back and forth so that she would have a list of shots that I wanted, and she would suggest things. Everything she did was EXACTLY what I wanted, and she wasn't pushy, or rude or in the way. Not one person at my wedding (bridal party, guest or family member) had anything bad to say. Everyone asked who she was and commented how wonderful of a job that she did! Our pictures are fabulous and it's all because of Shay and her hard work!!!

What international royalty are currently living in the USA?
Royalty at 18 October 2012 10:10:49
QTrying to find info on what princes, princesses, dukes, ladies, viscounts, shahs etc are living in the USA now.
APrincess Anna Christina RadziwillPrince Alexander von Furstenberg and his children,Princess Talita Natasha von FürstenbergPrince Tassilo Egon Maximilian von FürstenbergPrincess Tatiana von Furstenberg is his sister.Non-royal peerageChristopher Haden-Guest, 5th Baron Haden-Guest There are others, but they are private people who don't have to say where they are living.Royals and peers are two different things. A royal can hold a royal peerage title, but not all peers are royal. "Lady" and "Lord" are not titles, but honorifics used by titled peers, their wives and some of their children. Peers are duke/duchess, marquess/marchioness, earl/count/countess, viscount/viscountess, and baron/baroness.

Did real princess or Royal people exist in America?
Royalty at 03 September 2013 06:09:07
QOkay like almost over the world at one point or another there existed princesses ,kings, queens, you know.Any way I just wanted to know if any princesses or royal bloodlines ever existed in America.If not then where are the locations of the non specified Disney Princess movies like Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Cinderella, so on?
AForeign royals have lived in the US.Some Americans who have dual citizenship even have peerage titles.Many Americans have royal blood, but are not royal in themselves. Having royal ancestry is quite common; many of our presidents have been linked to the British royals.The niece of the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is a Polish princess. Anna Christina Radziwill's father was Prince Stanislaus Radziwill.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Albrecht_Radziwi%C5%82%C5%82Lee Radziwill had two children by Stash: Tina and the late Prince Antony/Antony/Anthony http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Stanislas_RadziwillCrown Prince Pavlos of Greece lived in New York for a time. He married into American-born Robert Warren Miller's family. Marie-Chantal is his wife.Another Miller sister who married royalty is Alexandra; she divorced but her children are titled;Princess Talita Natasha's and Prince Tassilo Egon Maximilian's father is Prince Alexander von Furstenberg, a native Californian, born in Malibu but raised in New York! The prince is the son of fashion designers Diane von Fürstenberg (née Halfin) and Egon von Fürstenberg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_von_FurstenbergChristopher Haden-Guest, 5th Baron Haden-Guest (born February 5, 1948), better known as Christopher Guest, is an English-American screenwriter, composer, musician, director, actor, and comedian who holds dual British and American citizenship. He is married to actress Jamie Lee Curtis.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_GuestThere are many other Americans who have married royals, or have current titles and are bi-national, but these are private people, their titles carrying no powers to reign, many titles just being courtesy recognition, a link to another country's monarchical past. Not much is known about them because they are private.Royalty originating in American is from Hawaii. Before Hawaii was taken over for financial reasons, it was a monarchy. http://www.iolanipalace.org/I am Native American, tribal affiliation, Abenaki. We have no royalty. The daughter of a chief is simply that, the daughter of a chief. It is Europeans who called the daughters royalty in order to make the European men who married these girls look more important and influential.

who are the queens and kings of the united states of america?

Qwho are the queens and kings of the united states of america?
AThere is an elected democratic republic in the US. In 1776, the US declared independence from the British monarchy; the king at that time was George III. George Washington chose to become president and not king in 1776.Today, very wealthy, old money families and celebrities are given the sobriquet of royalty, but none are really royal. The only real royals in the US are visiting royals and bi-national peers and royal like Princess Madeleine of Sweden, who works in New York, Princess Anna Christina Radziwill, daughter of society maven Lee Radziwill,(Jacqueline Kennedy Onnasis' sister), Prince Alexander von Furstenberg, and Princess Tatiana von Furstenberg, and Lord Haden-Guest, the actor-director Christopher Guest."Hollywood" royals include Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Barbra Streisand and Steven Spielberg, but this is not the same as really being royal.

Who is the modern Polish Royal Family?
Royalty at 16 January 2012 01:01:53
QI would just like to clear some things up here. The actual Polish Royal family went into exile in 1910 before the Russians invaded. The government and the family have kept their names secret, because they want to live a quiet and normal life. They would only act as a figure head in Poland anyways, much as the Queen of EnglandThink about the people that claim to be the Princes of Poland...is it not very odd that the Polish government is not recognizing them as the Royal family?There has been several research papers quoting sources within the Polish Monarch Protocol office that even state that the Royal family wishes to remain in exile and live a quiet normal life, as the family has done, in America for the past 102 years, as common American citizens. And yes, they are well aware of who they are...but can you really blame them for not wanting to be suddenly thrust into the public eye? Having your every move watched? Everything you do critiqued?That would be Absolutely horrendous! There is no way that I would submit myself to that life unless I Absolutely had to!Hopefully that should clear up some of the confusion as to why there is such a cloud of mystery around the family.Wow! Did anyone actually read what I wrote? I never said Russia invaded in 1910, I said the family left in 1910, as in went into hiding. And did anyone catch the part about papers being written with information coming from the Polish government, again not giving away their names so they may lead a normal life? Do you not think the Polish government is capable of making records and information disappear just as the American government, or the British government?I would also like to point out that I said before, the Royal family would only be a figure head just like the Queen of England. I did not expand on that statement to explain that there is no monarchy, I figured the phrase "figure head" would be sufficient.As for all of people saying the Royal family is this person and that person, there can only be one direct line of Royal families to be the Crowned Prince or Princess, everyone else would have a courtesy title, if they were of the blood line. And for the person that
AThere are many royal families in Poland, but they are not official, have no power. The Radziwills are one. The daughter of Prince Stanislaw Radziwill's daughter Anna Christina, lives in New York.Another family: Czartoryski

How the results of Sunday night's ceremony affect the biggest awards show of the year
AP Images
After Sunday's Golden Globes, Hollywood can breathe a collective sigh of relief (Ricky Gervais wasn't that mean!) and set its sights on the real big show: the Oscars. Now that George Clooney, The Artist, and Meryl Streep are all 2011 Globe winners, the conversation naturally segues to the likelihood that they'll repeat in February.
There are plenty of critics who will quickly silence that talk with the argument that the Globes have no bearing on the Academy Awards. The body of voters has literally no overlap, they'll say, gladly serving up the fact that the neither of the eventual Best Picture Oscar-winners from the past two years (The King's Speech and The Hurt Locker) was victorious in the same category at the Golden Globes. It's a flawed dismissal. Simply look at the acting categories: Over the past five awards seasons, every Best Actor and Best Actress winner took home both Golden Globe and Academy Award trophies. Sure, the Globes has two categories—Comedy and Drama—making the odds of the overlap more likely. But especially in an awards season like the current one, when "frontrunners," "sure things," and "dark horses" have changed repeatedly, the Globes narrow the field considerably.
And for many stars, the Golden Globes serve as a sort of Oscars audition. It's an opportunity to endear one's self to Academy voters with a charming or emotional speech—after all, the public is more likely to remember a standout speech (Sally Field's "You like me;" Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s aerobic thank yous) than a staid past-winner (Who remembers that Chris Cooper won an Oscar in 2003, or that Rachel Weisz won in 2005?). In fact, a poor showing at the Globes has been rumored to doom several presumed Oscar victors—among the numerous theories given for Eddie Murphy's shocking Best Supporting Actor loss for Dreamgirls in 2007 is the stuffy, pompous, and all-in-all boring acceptance speech he gave at the Golden Globes.
So where do the races stand after Sunday night? Here's a look at the major categories:
Best Picture: It's little surprise that Alexander Payne's heartbreaking The Descendants and Michel Hazanavicius's charming The Artist took home Best Drama and Best Comedy, respectively. The race between the two films is similar to the one between The Social Network and The King's Speech last year, when both movies could've conceivably won the Oscar, and both would've been deserving. (Though a delightful acceptance speech from The Artist featuring dog tricks and a heartwarming story about the producer's father certainly trumps the bland listing of names The Descendants delivered.)
The more interesting discussion is about which other films will join them as nominees. In the latest of the Academy's ever-confusing rule changes about how nominees are chosen, this year there will be anywhere between five and 10 contenders. In order to make the shortlist, a film must be ranked first by at least five percent of voters on the nomination ballots. Who does that help? Hugo, The Help, and Midnight in Paris. It's presumed that Steven Spielberg's epic War Horse and the unexpectedly fascinating and exciting Moneyball will also earn nominations—but those two films are actually most at risk because of these rules. Near-universally, critics and awards groups have liked these fine movies. But there's no indication that they're anyone's favorite—a necessary condition to being nominated. Either film could have used a high-profile Globe win Sunday (a Brad Pitt acceptance speech would have been invaluable Oscar campaigning for Moneyball's Best Picture chances.)
On the other hand, a polarizing film like Terrence Malick's Tree of Life—which a love-it-or-loathe-it awards season so far has left alternately winning Best Picture prizes and being snubbed completely by organizations (like the Globes)—still stands a solid shot at being ranked first by at least five percent of Oscar nominators. Likewise for Bridesmaids, a seemingly unlikely Best Picture nominee that may boast more good will towards it than any other horse in the race. A Best Comedy win at the Globes would have certainly helped its chances, but the film's Producers Guild, Writers Guild, and Best Ensemble Screen Actors Guild nominations hint that it stands a real shot at the big Oscar nod, considering the voting memberships between the Academy and those guilds have a massive overlap.

Starfruit is a plant unlocked after completing Level 4-6 in Plants vs. Zombies and a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. It attacks by projecting stars in five different directions: one to the left, one going up, one going down, one going to the upper right (gradient of 1/2), and the last going lower right (gradient of -1/2). Each star deals one damage. The Starfruit begins to fire anytime a zombie enters a lane within its range, so planting multiple Starfruits a distance from the intended target and overlapping their lanes of fire is a good strategy. If a zombie is exactly in front of the plant, with or without eating it, it will be damaged by two of the five sides of the Starfruit.
Suburban Almanac entry
Plants vs. Zombies
Starfruits shoot stars in five directions.
Damage: normal
Range: five directions
"Aw, man," says Starfruit. "I went to the dentist the other day and he said that I have four cavities. I've got --count it-- ONE tooth! Four cavities in one tooth? How does this happen?"
Cost: 125
Recharge: fast
Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time
DAMAGE: Normal
RANGE: 5 Way
RECHARGE: Fast
Starfruits shoot stars in 5 directions.
Range Details: fires in five directions
Just a small town fruit that travelled to the big city and found his way to the future. His favorite modes of transportation: conveyor belts, hoverboards, and rockets. WEEEE!
- Note: This is only for Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time.
Plant Food
Shoots ten giant stars in five directions when fed Plant Food. Each giant star deals four damage.
Level upgrade (Chinese version only)
Level 2: Starfruit gets a 40% of chance to shoot a piercing dart that can penetrate two zombies. Its attack power and health will increase by 50%.
Level 3: Starfruit's dart can now penetrate three zombies plus its attack and health will gain another 50% boost (total + 100% = 2x).
Costumed (Chinese version only)
Plant Food ability increases its spinning duration. Starfruit can also last longer.
Standard Levels
Starfruits tend to do their best when zombies are slowed down in other lanes. With their five-way projectiles, 125 sun cost is very cheap compared to the Threepeater (325 sun cost for 3-way projectiles). The real power of the Starfuit is when they are arranged vertically (fill a column) or horizontally (fill a lane or two). It's better to use them horizontally while Garlic is planted in front of them because their straight-up and straight-down projectiles are not useless. But if there are Gargantuars, Zombonis, or Catapult Zombies, you should use the vertical formation because the Garlic is useless, as they will smash or crush them. The Starfruit can also be an alternative plant for Digger Zombies, but you are probably better off using Split Peas or Magnet-shrooms if you are only dealing with them. If you don't need range, two or three Gloom-shrooms combined with Garlic should do, instead. It is also worth noting that when there is a zombie next to a Starfruit, both forward-pointing stars hit it. When a player plants lots of Starfruits in a level, it will be easy for them to win.
A lawn full of Starfruits is good against Octo Zombies as Starfruit's rapid, multi-directional attack can quickly destroy octopi.
Seeing Stars mini-gameYou do not have any choice here, you have to plant Starfruit wherever there is a Starfruit outline - no other plants can be planted there (except the Pumpkin, Imitater Pumpkin and Imitater Starfruit). In order to win the game, you have to plant one Starfruit in each outline. Just build up a regular defense with a column of Sunflowers in back, with a column or two of Peashooters and Snow Peas, to protect the house as you set up the Starfruit. For the third lane, plant a Garlic on the right-most row.
You do not have to choose Starfruit in that level, but it is required to win the game. But you do have to choose the Starfruit on iPhone and Android versions, since the seed packet is chosen and locked; even if you managed to get the 50,000 coins needed to unlock this mini-game after unlocking More Ways to Play in level 2-1. The Starfruit will not appear in the seed selection, but will still be chosen and locked. On the iPad version, the seed packet will still be chosen and locked, even though Adventure mode must be completed in order to unlock the mini-game.
|See Starfruit/Gallery.
- Starfruit, Marigold, Bonk Choy, Tile Turnip, the Potato Mine in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time and Cattail are the only plants with one tooth.
- Starfruit, the Winter Melon, the Melon-pult, the Cherry Bomb, the Coconut Cannon, the Citron, the E.M.Peach, the Heavenly Peach, the Guacodile and the Banana Launcher are the only plants that are fruits.
- Although Winter Melon's name is a reference to a vegetable, its appearance resembles a fruit.
- When it shoots, it should go in the shape of a star, but it is misaligned at the top so it would shoot directly above it.
- The stars it shoots are actually its seeds.
- There is a blue variant of the Starfruit in Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition that shoots blue stars.
Specific to Plants vs. Zombies
- If a zombie gets close enough in a Starfruit's lane to it, the Starfruit will shoot at it even though it does not normally shoot there. In fact, if an Imp is in the lane of the said Starfruit, it will be killed without the Starfruit needing assistance from other plants (but only in Puzzle Mode).
- Starfruit does not try to harm a Bungee Zombie that is stealing it. But if a zombie is in the Starfruit's range and a Bungee Zombie is trying to steal another plant, all five stars will shoot at the Bungee Zombie until the zombie is out of the Starfruit's range.
- Starfruit can be hit by the Peashooter Zombie and Gatling Pea Zombie's peas, despite it being flat.
- Starfruit is the only plant that can shoot five projectiles simultaneously. This means that the plant can shoot the second most projectiles simultaneously (five), with the Gloom-shroom coming first (eight).
- Starfruit, Gloom-shroom, Cattail, Cob Cannon, and Threepeater are the only plants that can fire outside the lane they're planted in.
- In some instances, a zombie which is not in the Starfruit's range will still be hit by the plant if another zombie on another lane is on its range.
- Starfruit, Wall-nut, and Cob Cannon are the only plants with mini-games featuring themselves.
- Stars shot by the Starfruit actually come from its middle.
- Starfruit and Threepeater are the only plants that have a different cost and, at the same time, a slower recharge time in Versus Mode.
- In DS and DSi versions, sometimes a zombie is within its range, but the star projectile will just bypass the zombie instead of hitting it. This most likely occurs if the zombie is in a lane above the Starfruit, regardless of position.
- Stars from the Starfruit spin around slowly.
- Starfruit and the left-facing Repeater in Vasebreaker are the only attacking plants that cannot shoot straight ahead.
Specific to Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time
- Starfruit now has leaves underneath it. Also, it does not have scleras now and its mouth is open.
- Its Almanac Entry states that one of its favorite modes of transportation is a conveyor-belt, This alludes the Starfruit was the most common plant the player would get on the conveyor belt in Level 4-10 from the original game.
- It is the second plant the player has to protect in the second Far Future Save Our Seeds level, Day 20.
- So far, it is one of the four premium plants to be available in normal gameplay (other than Piñata Party); the other three are Hypno-shroom, Pea-nut, and Chomper.
- Its sun cost was increased by 25.
- It can hit Prospector Zombies in mid-air, despite not shooting into the air.
- When shooting, it now glows brightly.
- The spinning animation it uses when fed Plant Food looks similar to the one Imitater uses while transforming.
- In some ads and the store, it is called Star Fruit.
- For some reason, in the Chinese version advertisment of its Plant Food upgrade the first picture shows the Starfruit with both its International costume (afro and mustache) and its Chinese costume (antennae) on the same Starfruit. It does not have the afro and mustache costume in the Chinese version.
- Like Grave Buster, Spikeweed and Tangle Kelp, Starfruit went under a major design change.

Hey folks!
I'm not sure wether this post belongs here or in the contributers forum, but as I do not identify myself as a contributer yet (not one in italic anyway) I decided to go with the user code forum.
I have been interested in the general idea of shaders for a while now but never dared to try writing them myself. Through some other post on the forum here I stumbled upon this and truly, I love the idea of games that look like they were drawn while actually being 3D. As there was an example attached I decided to give this thing a shot and now, 5 hours later, I finished my first shader, and I still can't believe how easy that went
Anyhow, to show the results I got (yes, I implemented it in jME3 right away, how cool is that?), here are some pics:
Anime image on a box with black lines
Same anime image with colors leaking through
My avatar with different color settings for both lines and background
An image of a test game I was making with an early version of the filter applied
I think that when applied correctly with a nice cartoonedge filter and some anime style models we could very well create an anime style drawn effect, as shown in the first 2 pictures.As I doubt I will use this shader much myself, I sincerely hope this shader will be included in the jME packages as part of the standard library so it is of use to someone ;)
Please test this shader on any system you have and report whether it works, I had 0,0 experience writing these things until this afternoon and it all seems so logical, I can't believe it's that simple… I'm sure I must have made ahuge mistake, just need to find it yet :P

Hey, great work The advertising talk about "so easy to use shaders in jme3 that you can learn them in the time you save applying them to your models" seems to be true eh? ;)March 14, 2011 at 23:22 #128509
Well, I believe I got that advertisement somehow although I have no clue where But yeah, it appears it was true.
Anyhow, a friend of mine just suggested I should allow for thicker lines, already found a way to do that easily, I'll update the code tomorrow
I frigging love this,March 15, 2011 at 00:42 #128510

Wow this is brilliant, thanks for sharing! This is the perfect way to get away with fairly simple art assets without affecting overall presentation. Actually, this reminds me a great deal of a game design doc I once typed up. Maybe I'll dig it up and put it out here.
Alright, I found an old draft of the game, "Black Matters"
I dare say I'm a much more accomplished design doc writer today ^^ Yet I always liked this idea. If anyone could be interested in prototyping the concept, using techniques like the ones demonstrated above, I'd be happy to flesh out the design.March 15, 2011 at 07:11 #128511
ooooh Nice!!
I like Filter contribution.
If you have some feedback on the Filter implementation (was it easy to implement your own?, easy to understand?, etc…) , i'm eager to hear it.
A remark though.
In your Filter you set the parameters to the material in the initFilter, which is good practice. But you need to set them in the setters too or changing the filter's parameters in the main loop of the game won't have any effect.
Nice job, let me know when you consider it finished, i'll add it to the core.
ThanksMarch 15, 2011 at 07:49 #128512
Getting rid of the necessity of good art assets was exactly one of the reasons I liked this filter, so many people get stuck there :P I think it would be fun making games without textures, just colors and mostly simple open gl lighting would do using this kind of techniques, perhaps combined with some extra shadow shaders. I just read through that game design doc, not sure what to expect of that game but it seems like an original idea :P Might be fun to see some sort of demo of it, and I'd love to see this filter put to work. ;)
Thanks for the remark, I'll fix that right away. As I had no clue on implementing a shader I just followed the fog shader included in jME, lot's of copy/paste and edit stuff done and some trail and error to find out how to work with it. Was already wondering about that ;)
For the feedback on filter implementation on my own, well… There was a bit of guessing, good guessing tho. Everything was quite easy to understand once I looked a little closer and tried changing things. jME nicely told me what was wrong whenever I made an error (yeah, I programmed it in jMP too =]). I looked at the advanced shader tutorials on the wiki pages but it seemed these were not on post processing (at least, that's what I understood).
One thing to mention that I found pretty much magic was the passing around of values: from the java class to the .jm3d material was done by setFloat etc (no magic), then when I got into my .frag file I had to dig them back up as m_SameName. It's definately not hard to see, it just was a bit of a suprise to me, but then again, I had no experience doing this whatsoever tho I did recognize the m_ in front right away. Plus I think I know why these things are done this way, as I understand you have to glue java and opengl together somehow and this is a pretty neat way to do so.
In short:
Easy to implement on your own? Definately, just take an example, copy all parts and play with it until it does what you want. After a few hours, everything becomes crystal clear and you can do anything you imagine.
Easy to understand? Hell yes. See the result and consider the fact I only started this as a first try.March 15, 2011 at 08:10 #128513
OH I didn't notice you even made a glsl 1.5 with multisampling
Very nice work!!
yeah the m_ part needs to be documented a bit more.
Thanks for the feed back ;)March 15, 2011 at 08:26 #128514
Updated! See the end of my topic start for changes Should be final this way unless someone has some great idea or sees a miserable mistake.
@nehon I suppose that's a good thing? Like I said, just followed the fog shader wherever it went to, actually started with the glsl1.5 and ported it back to 1.0 ;)March 15, 2011 at 08:34 #128515
yep that's great, this way I just have to copy your files in the core, and Done! :p
I updated the shader doc to explain the "m_" thing, see the "User's uniform" section.
I'll integrate your Filter in the core tonight.March 15, 2011 at 08:44 #128516
That definately clears things up
I'm gonna go ahead and try some other shaders now, is there a list of certain shaders that need to be done? Some kind of request list, preferentially with an article that describes how it works? Just need to practise a bit, could start off with the easier ones and progress to more difficult sorts of shading as I go. Programming these things seems an art on its own: Simple, but very, very powerful…
I'm thinking about posterization and dream-vision filters at the moment, any suggestions? ;)
Edit: Guess I should make a kind of list…

´Looks awesomeMarch 15, 2011 at 09:03 #128518
@baalgarnaal go ahead with posterization and dream-vision it can be nice.
The filters remaining on my todo are motion blur and under water (which will probably be an enhancement of the current Water filter), but those are pretty advanced.
Other "simple" ideas could be night vision, or heat vision, infra red etc…..March 15, 2011 at 09:19 #128519
Also a heat distortion filter could be nice like this
This would be some kind of distance blur with some distortionMarch 16, 2011 at 17:13 #128520
Ok the CrossHatchFilter is in
Thanks ;)March 16, 2011 at 23:18 #128521
Great :D Just browsed google source a bit, can't wait to see your test for it hehe :P
I did notice tho that the links I put in seem to have taken some extra load with them (tags and crap around them), it's not very important but I suppose that may be removed some day :P
Edit: Not really sure where to put this, don't want to start a new topic for this, but I just found this lovely presentation that gives an introduction to GLSL stuff. I think it's quite useful as a quick reference card to find out what is possible (although I figured out most of it myself already anyway). Oh, and I'm working on a funny shader that draws some heat-above-ground defraction using only the frag file. I think it's a bit heavy on sampling but it is quite well able to determine where the effect should be drawn, plus I haven't found anyone doing this yet. I still need to find a good defraction function tho, horizontal sampling using a sine is good for underwater effects but sucks for warmth, although it is a good place holder. Any suggestions? (Oh, I can make the sine-underwater thing too if anyone wants it, just need to extract it, shouldn't take much more than an hour to make. I think @pspeed would love to see that.)

Us Weekly
If those walls could talk!
Reese Witherspoon is selling her Ojai, Calif. ranch estate for $10 million, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on Monday.
Featured in the September issue of Elle Decor, the Spanish Colonial spread was the site of Witherspoon's March 2011 wedding to CAA agent Jim Toth. More recently, the remote, rustic chic property served as a place of refuge for Witherspoon's "Water for Elephants" co-star Robert Pattinson, who escaped to the premises in the aftermath of girlfriend Kristen Stewart's mid-July fling (exposed in Us Weekly) with married director Rupert Sanders. Pattinson was spotted drowning his sorrows at local watering holes in the Ojai area in late July.
Now expecting the birth of her third child (and her first with Toth), Witherspoon purchased the property -- once owned by actor-director Harold Ramis -- in 2008. Sitting on 7 acres, the site features a four-bedroom main house, plus horse stables, three guest cottages, a carriage house and a swimming pool.
PHOTOS: Kristen's shocking affair
"It's meditative and restorative," Witherspoon told Elle Decor of her vacation home, which also hosts a menagerie of animals, including donkeys, horses, pigs and four dogs. "As soon as I drive through the gate, I relax. The air is fresh, the phone isn't ringing, you can't access email. Time slows down. Within an hour, I'm lying on that couch taking a big fat nap. It's like having a little bit of Tennessee in California."
PHOTOS: Reese's body evolution
As it happens, Pattinson, 26, is also selling some real estate. A source recently told Us Weekly that he is selling the home he once shared with Stewart, 22, in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. Once owned by "ER" star Noah Wyle, the abode is "on an acre and a half of land and has a 150-person screening room and amazing gardens," according to a source.

The Diversity Awareness Office (DAO) provides information and support to the university community in the areas of multicultural awareness and community building, prejudice education, and practical resources relating to diversity issues. The DAO sponsors, produces and promotes events that encourage and foster diversity awareness around issues of gender, class, race, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Awareness of diversity is examined through lectures, movies, discussion groups and social events. The DAO provides a safe, supportive environment in which students can begin to understand the diversity they experience on campus as well as within the larger global community.
Part of the vision of the DAO is to also foster and support the growth of understanding and tolerance of difference throughout the university and in the surrounding community. We see the existing diversity as a valuable resource towards this goal, and seek to involve students in all steps of the process. From this, we hope to add to the leadership skills of those students interested in the processes of raising visibility and understanding of difference and multiple perspectives.

The taking down without explanation from Facebook of a photo of a Syrian man who was killed demonstrates the danger of creating activist networks in digital places that are owned and operated by corporations that have an interest in cooperating with power, a contributor to Techdirt writes.
People use Facebook because it's easy to connect with others and build communities, and that has value, but you're risking having that speech disappeared.
This is why it's often important for people to have platforms that they themselves control—though even then there are points of weakness and attack. You can host your own site, but people will go after upstream providers, including hosting companies and registrars. And service providers who have more open policies get hounded into creating "abuse" policies that appear to make sense at first… even though those abuse policies themselves are open to abuse.
… When we see people use these platforms in such abusive ways, it's quite natural to want to see policies in place that let those abusive actions be stopped and taken down. But with such a process in place, you're almost guaranteeing that it will be abused as well, and legitimate speech—such as that of these Syrian activists—gets removed and deleted (including important historical documentation and discussions that are now gone forever).

Full of creepy videos and ominous photography, a semi-professional blog called nohopeleft.com has been makings its rounds. The site smells like viral marketing, generating hype for a possible Resident Evil 6 announcement, we'd guess, given all the Biohazard logos and spoken Chinese.
While a connection to the People's Republic was recently revealed when a voice actress put "Resident Evil 6" and "Chinese Villager/Zombie" on her resume, the multinational graffiti appearing on the site hints that RE 6 could be a world-wide affair. There's also several videos of a distressed Chinese woman crying, one of which ends with a date and time: 14.00 PST and 1.19.2012. Perhaps the official announcement will come tomorrow?
Capcom has a penchant these kind of campaigns. You may recall the ones it launched for Dead Rising 2and Resident Evil 5. Still, there's a chance that this shell-shocked woman is just a Capcom employee who saw the lukewarm reviews for Resident Evil: Mercenaries. Don't worry lady, we believe that RE 6 will be great.
GamesRadar reached out to Capcom for comment and will update the story if we hear back from them.

Hammerback present Chávez in his own terms. Through this collection and through his own words and analysis of his major speeches and writings, Jensen and Hammerback reveal the rhetorical qualities and underlying rhetorical dynamics of a master communicator and also offer a rich source of the history of the farm workers' movement Chávez led from the early 1960s to his death in 1993.Each chapter features a clear introductory section that helps the reader focus on the highlights that won Chávez a reputation as an effective communicator. The editors explain the sources of Chávez's motivation to campaign for farm workers, his selection of characteristic and signature rhetorical elements, and the success of specific campaigns and his overall career.The Words of César Chávez offers an important new resource for scholars of public discourse, Chicano studies, and César Chávez himself. It complements the editors' earlier study, The Rhetorical Career of César Chávez, by providing the primary materials for that rhetorical profile of Chávez. Through his own words, Jensen and Hammerback present Chávez doing what he did best: teaching and influencing audiences who would enact his agenda to create a new and better world.

of an Orthodox priest in Iraq, who was kidnapped and found beheaded
three days later, said Thursday that his death was linked with the
recent violence spurred on by those who misinterpreted Pope Benedict's
recent comments about Islam.
Family members said his captors had demanded that his church condemn the Pope's comments last month about Islam and pay a US$350,000 ransom, reported The Associated Press.
More than 500 people attended a memorial service Thursday for Fr. Amer Iskender in the northern city of Mosul. His decapitated body had been found the previous day in an industrial area of the city.
Fr. Iskender was a priest at the St. Ephrem Orthodox church and he was remembered as a kind and peaceful man.
Before Iskender was kidnapped, the church already had put up signs condemning the statement and calling for good relations between Christians and Muslims, said his relatives, who asked not to be named. The message was posted again after the priest's kidnappers made their demand, reported the AP.
Relatives said the priest's oldest son had been in contact with the kidnappers on mobile telephones. He negotiated the ransom payment down to US$40,000 and had agreed to pay, but contact abruptly ceased Tuesday night.
