SURAT: After Union government's decision to allow even private airlines to fly to international destinations from different parts of the country without insisting on Air India's first use right, talks of bonded cargo operations from Surat to places like Antwerp in Europe via Mumbai have started to pick up pace.
After Air India, it was SpiceJet that began its domestic operations connecting Surat with Mumbai and Delhi directly. This improved the diamond city's connectivity with a number of other places. Thus, South Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industries (SGmade a strong pitch for starting cargo operations, too, from Surat.
"We have made a representation for cargo operations from Surat," SGCCI president Rohit Mehta said. Cargo in charge, SpiceJet, Raghu Raman, who is based in Delhi, will be visiting Surat for discussions with industries. He told TOI, "There are some points that need to be discussed like insurance factor. Our load will be little and only up to Mumbai. The cargo from there will be in the possession of an international airline. If it is commercially viable, we will go for it."
Mehta said, "Bonded cargo from the city is possible. Surat hira bourse is capable of tackling the load issue. Diamond industries' goods can be directly delivered to and from Surat itself."
Sevanti Shah of Venus Jewels said, "It is a possibility. Our hira bourse can handle the load. Direct cargo flights from Surat would be very beneficial for the industry."
Govind Dholakiya of Ramkrishna Exports said, "Surat hira bourse, Gujarat hira bourse and Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council can all help."
The cargo operation should begin at the earliest. Once bonded cargo starts, we can think of international cargo connectivity."

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced late Saturday that his cancer has returned and that he will go to Cuba to undergo surgery.
Speaking during a televised address from the presidential palace, he said that if his health were to worsen, Vice President Nicolas Maduro should replace him.
It was the first time Chavez spoke publicly about the possibility of a successor -- a shocking admission from a man who looms larger than life in Venezuela and in Latin American politics.
"It's absolutely necessary, absolutely vital that I undergo a new operation," said Chavez.
As he spoke, he repeatedly kissed a cross and at one point broke out into song.
"An operation like this, an illness like this, always carries risk," he said. "If something were to happen that would incapacitate me, Nicholas Maduro should not only finish my term as the constitution requires ... You should also elect Nicholas Maduro to be president."
Just this week, Chavez returned from Cuba after receiving medical treatment. He said doctors detected malignant cells and that he expects to undergo surgery in the coming days.
The president has repeatedly spoken publicly about his cancer battle, but has never specified what type he has.
Chavez, who had surgery in 2011 to remove a cancerous tumor, has undergone further operations and radiation therapy in Cuba since then. He declared himself cancer-free in July.
The government has released few specifics, fueling widespread speculation about his health and political future.
Health rumors dogged Chavez on the campaign trail this year, but didn't stop him from winning reelection in October.
Details of his health, however, have been a closely held secret, and some people who claim to have insider knowledge say the president is in much worse condition than he publicly lets on.

This is fabulous! The better the salmon the better the end result. Home made smoked salmon, onions & chives from the garden. Served with a couple slices of garden tomatoes it made a great dinner last nite. Only problem was I ate the leftovers (that my wife was saving for today's lunch) before going to bed and caught a little grief for that this AM.
I've made this for breakfast on Christmas morning the last 2 years and will do it again this year. It's really a great combination of flavors--the onions and chives are in balance with the salmon and extra salt is not needed.
Loved this. I added a spoonful of sour cream on top and a tiny bit of dil at the end. Served with slices of tomatoes. Great!
The worst breakfast recipe I've ever made. I was worried that there were too many onions but the onions were a great and slightly sweet addition. There was too much salmon and the salmon addition to the eggs was awful. I added it at the end for less than 1 minute and the result was so fishy. The salmon did not smell fishy out of the package. I don't know why this got such good reviews but it must be the type of salmon that people lucked out on. I'm glad this was not for guests.
A waste of good salmon. At $20+ per pound, the salmon should be up front in this dish and its not because the onion overpowers it. I would make this again, but without the onion, the chive is pleanty enough subtle onion-ness and I'd also add a few tablespoons of cream cheese.
Wow! Fantastic and easy! Doubled recipe for a brunch main entree. Clear crowd favorite. Definitely is on my all-star recipe list.

San Francisco, Calif. – September 27, 2010 - TRUSTe, provider of the leading online privacy trustmark, today announced a new privacy program for businesses to now certify their mobile applications and mobile websites with the highly-recognized TRUSTe Privacy Seal. Building on its mission to extend trust to any online platform, TRUSTe's new certification program defines privacy for mobile Internet usage, giving businesses the ability to quickly reassure mobile customers that they can trust the applications with their personal information. The program is already being adopted in early deployments by Apartments.com, Breastcancer.org, GoDaddy.com, The Weather Channel, WebMD and Yelp, among others.
"In less than three years, mobile phones are predicted to exceed PCs as the most common Web access device," said Chris Babel, CEO of TRUSTe. "The exploding mobile market has irrevocably altered the privacy landscape for both device manufacturers and consumers. With our leadership background in online privacy, TRUSTe is uniquely poised to address consumer concerns on this new frontier, while helping application providers build trust – which drives conversion – and stay ahead of regulatory demands."
Key new features of the TRUSTed Mobile Apps program include a layered privacy notice easily accessible through the mobile device, a new micro seal that is clearly visible and more easily read from even the smallest mobile device screens, and cross-platform monitoring to ensure extra-sensitive location data is handled properly – particularly as it relates to children and safety. Companies can now expand their reach to harness the power of the mobile platform – by delivering applications, services, marketing incentives and tangible goods – all while maintaining the integrity of their brand through the use of TRUSTe's respected trustmark.
"The expanding mobile market – and the enormous opportunity it presents – mandates a new dedicated approach to privacy," continued Babel. "Because the confidence that is taken for granted today on PCs does not automatically extend to mobile devices, companies must differentiate themselves and reassure consumers about privacy. The new, mobile-optimized TRUSTe seal and privacy notice and its accompanying privacy choices substantially increase users' trust, which in turn raises customer engagement and interactions levels."
Because of the small form factor, mobile makes privacy – an already complex concept to demonstrate for consumers – even more challenging. TRUSTe demonstrates design leadership and innovation by delivering a short-notice, layered privacy policy specifically for the mobile platform, providing enhanced transparency and accessibility. TRUSTe's privacy seal is clearly visible, providing mobile customers with one-click access to get the information they need in an easy-to-use drill-down format, which enables them to quickly return to interactions on the main site or application. A customized demo of TRUSTe's new short-notice, layered privacy policy – specific to your phone type – can be found by going to /mobile/demo from your mobile device.
With its TRUSTed Mobile Apps program, TRUSTe addresses significant privacy differences between the mobile ecosystem (where the consumer experience is controlled by the platform, the device and the applications) and the PC world (which is comprised of standard browsers and large websites). TRUSTe's dedicated mobile privacy approach opens up opportunities for existing businesses branching into the mobile sector by having a smooth migration path and trusted partner to handle privacy issues; while also offering mobile-centric companies a dedicated offering with unparalleled privacy services and already proven conversion benefits.
"Privacy is an important issue and we're pleased to see these types of initiatives taken by our members," said Michael Becker, North American Managing Director for the MMA. "As the mobile web continues to be an access point for consumers, we encourage TRUSTe and all of our members to focus on privacy concerns and provide solutions that are in the consumers' best interest."
In addition to the program features mentioned above, TRUSTe's new mobile application certification for privacy involves a thorough review of each mobile application or mobile website to ensure adherence to privacy standards, as well as looks at regulations, best practices and emerging standards. TRUSTe added privacy requirements specific to mobile, which have been reviewed by both the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) and the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), and addressed special mobile features that create new privacy implications – such as location-based technologies and mobile analytics. The enhanced program allows businesses to guarantee the same privacy standards to consumers for new mobile usages – leading to more conversions on that platform.
"Familiar online platforms – advertising, gaming, social networks and ecommerce – are migrating en masse to the mobile platform," said Ian Glazer, Privacy and Security Research Director at Gartner, Inc. "The businesses that succeed will need to overcome the perception that mobile devices are less private or secure and give consumers the confidence to share their personal information on mobile websites or applications."
Mobile Market Explosion Fueling Need for Increased Privacy Guarantees
According to Gartner, worldwide mobile application stores' download revenue will grow to $29.5 billion by the end of 2013. Fueling the growth are emerging mobile applications for bargain shopping, mobile ticketing, online banking and sales of tangible goods.
Yet despite the momentum, consumers are still hesitant to use their mobile devices for m-commerce due to a lack of confidence. According to a survey of more than four thousand mobile device users conducted by KPMG, more than 87 percent have concerns about both privacy and security. Online marketers promoting new behavioral advertising and location-based services (such as GPS) that substantially increase data collection possibilities, also add to these privacy concerns.
"As the world's second largest mobile application store with over 1 billion downloads, we believe our developers will be able to leverage TRUSTe's privacy seal to maximize installs – especially for applications where location-based services are central," said Patrick Mork, CMO of GetJar. "Consumer recognition and trust of the TRUSTe brand is clearly well-established in the Internet space. We believe this brand recognition can provide a valuable point of difference for developers in mobile by communicating to consumers that the content they wish to download is safe and adheres to established privacy guidelines. Establishing this level of trust for consumers on the mobile platform is important to help advance the growth of the mobile industry as a whole."
TRUSTe's TRUSTed Mobile Apps program – supporting all platforms including Apple, Blackberry, Android, Palm, Symbian and Windows Mobile – is designed to meet the burgeoning privacy concerns of consumers in the mobile platform market through TRUSTe's extensive knowledge and proven experience in the trust services market.
Businesses Choose TRUSTe to Engender Trust Among Their Mobile Customers
Leading Internet companies are already turning to TRUSTe to help them build trust in the mobile market. Apartments.com, a national online rentals resource, is a TRUSTed Mobile Apps beta user. In addition to simplifying the apartment search process by providing renters with millions of apartment options from around the country, users can check the availability of an apartment and contact the leasing office directly from an Apartments.com listing – all which require personal and private data from the user. "Renters want easy access to apartment listings on the go," said Chris Brown, Vice President of Product Management at Apartments.com. "We have experienced record growth within our mobile sector. Compared to the first half of 2009, visits to Apartments.com via mobile devices increased 117 percent in 2010, and the number of consumers accessing apartment community information through text messages has increased by 250 percent. Given this demand for a portable apartment shopping experience, we want to reassure our mobile visitors that their personal information will remain secure by prominently showcasing the mobile-optimized TRUSTe seal on our site."
"For the Breastcancer.org audience, being able to ensure privacy is especially critical to the people we serve, many of whom are going through a medical crisis, seeking support and sharing very personal information," said Hope Wohl, CEO at Breastcancer.org. "Being able to reassure them that they're in a safe, trusted environment is essential. Having the TRUSTe certification is a key element in reassuring them that we take our privacy policy very seriously."
GoDaddy.com, the world's largest Web hosting provider and top domain name registrar on the Internet, believes building online trust with its customers is a strategic advantage. "As the mobile application space grows at a VERY rapid speed, GoDaddy.com is working to expand our leadership role," said Kimberly Cilke, GoDaddy.com Assistant General Counsel. "Having a TRUSTe privacy seal on our application, signaling our commitment to user-privacy, is a clear competitive differentiator and a benefit for our customers." TigerText, recent MOBI Award winner of the Best Mobile Application for Social Media, is an up-and-comer on the mobile application scene that holds privacy in the highest regard. "TigerText is a mobile communications platform built on the principles that our users' data is private," said Jeffrey Evans, CEO of TigerText. "We're proud to display the TRUSTe seal on our site and on our mobile applications and feel confident that it will help us stay true to those principles."
As a MobileBeat startup competition finalist, Thumbspeak is well-poised to be the world's leading mobile opinion network, which requires a keen focus on the growing issue of privacy. "Building trust with new mobile users is critical," said Dean Wiltse, Founder and CEO of Thumbspeak. "TRUSTe's leadership, experience and reputation in the traditional online privacy space gave us confidence in their ability to help us grow our business on the mobile platform through trust."
Jean Tripier, CEO at WorldMate, another TRUSTe early adopter whose Trip Catch travel application allows users to manage their itinerary, search for flights and receive automated flight status updates from their Blackberry devices, said: "We take privacy seriously. When using our travel application, customers frequently provide private and personal data that they may not want others to have access to – such as flight, destination and hotel information. Having the trustmark of the industry's eminent Internet privacy leader immediately visible assures our customers that we are taking the utmost care to protect their privacy when using our application."
Other early adopters not previously mentioned include Callvine, Lookout and Whereoscope.

I say stick with your red star logo. You've been using it forever, anything else would probably feel strange at this point.
Working on a Hiei icon, will be a whilst on this. Needs some unsharp mask filter, Woodster! Could make a world of difference. What're a few of your favourite series or movies? I'm sure theres enough decent artwork floating about here or there. And yeah, without your red star it might be hard to keep track of you.
Honestly, I can't even wrap my head around Rhyssa using anything but that logo. And Damn, URA-MESHI! Guess I have to wait for a week or two for that Kuwabara icon... Hmm, I like the way this one turned out. Gotta try making another with the same setup.
That's because I'm always trying minor differences here and there to see what works. Don't judge me. Wellllll....
See, now I'm tempted to just find something else to mess with folks' heads. FEEL MY PAIN, YOU ICON HOPPERS!!!
My CPU can't handle it if I adjust the radius too much What happens when I reduce the radius (seems to have sharpened it up a little) //didn't want to put the amount up as that made it look bad, also did a bit of manual enhancing
Mucho better now. And @ChiBKey - yep, your icons are recognizable. I've just gotten into the habit of reading folks names here instead of focusing on the icons only like I do in other places. Some of the people here have icon!ADHD though, I'm tellin' ya!
i'll just admit to icon ADHD right now.... which is also why i recognize everyone via their username and not their icon....
continuing the discussion from CT, @Crazy888 what do you think? (Source Pic) it's a WIP. changed the hell out of the colors to reduce the blues and make it warmer. i could change the border to the color of your liking.
Just something I made. Shame it wasn't zoomed in more, I was a little bored so just went ahead and did it though. Also anyone got guides for backgrounds? I'd like to try some out.
you make awesome icons danny. i don't have a knack yet for backgrounds but i'd love to be inspired. there weren't much icons that i slapped some backgrounds. some of those: and earliest attempt (lol)
I've just made my first icon ever using GIMP. However, I've recently learned that cutoffs are bad. In relation to this, I've decided to make a new icon without those very annoying cutoffs. I, however, think that my first icon turned out decently. What do you think? Her name is Ruko Yokune.
How long time do you usually use when making icons? After removing most of the background I erase pixel by pixel before stroking the icon. That takes a lot of time.
You like to go frame by frame adding the stroke border meticulously don't you? Thing is my laptop can't distinguish between what my Photoshop considers a large or small animated gif file and often overheats with a mind of it's own.
Oh I meant my IGN style icons. With my gifs I use virtual dub to cut the video(generally mkvs) to whatever I need then open it up in vdub and crop/resize and then export it as a gif, then I open it in photoshop create a layer and pop it at the top of my layers list then on that layer I simply stroke the border and it has it in every frame and also mess with adjustments masks to change saturation, vibrance, colour balance etc etc. Martin: That's dedication, considering I just use the pen tool to cut it out it doesn't take me as long to cut out the background and I don 't have to use the eraser at all. Either way, I always find something that bugs me about my icons. Like the Kirito/Asuna one, it's kind of dark and can't figure how to get it lighter since highering brightness/contrast don't exactly work and the saturation leads it to being way too reddish. Oh lot better than what it was. - tweaked a few settings
Timmy have been helping me a lot with this over MSN though, I need to find a more efficient way to create icons. My current technique leads to decent results in my opinion. however, the amount of time I use is too much in contrary to most icon makers here. 1. I crop the image 2. I use the automatic fuzzy tool to remove the background where possible. 3. I then zoom inn 800% and use erase tool to remove leftovers, pixel by pixel. 4. I then use paths tool and mark all the jagged edges. 5. Then I stroke. 6. And scale the image to 140x140 There must be a more efficient way in GIMP.
I generally just crop then resize to 300x300, grab the pen tool, go round the outline, create a new layer, stroke on that layer, then right click and make selection then switch to the image layer and click layer via cut. Then I just stroke the details and mess with colour. I'm not sure if you can do that with GIMP (the pen tooling), tried making an icon with it and I wasn't having any luck probably my lack of familiarity with it.
fate, you do icons on GIMP, so tell him how you do it. I use photoshop so i can't just tell him the exact tools he should use, which is a problem.
idk if it's just me but GIMP sucks compared to CS5. The selection tools are horrible and don't always do what you want to do, I'll rather use paint. But it's free so I shouldn't complain.
Okay, how I get of the background in GIMP...For starters, under preferences I set transparency to show up as black. Makes it easier for me to see...

Formerly the whipping boys of international cricket, Bangladesh have made great strides and harbour high hopes of reaching the latter stages of the World Cup for the first time. The Tigers have risen to eighth in the International Cricket Council one-day rankings and go into the tournament on the back of series victories over New Zealand, who they thrashed 4-0, and Zimbabwe. Each of those successes came on home soil and, as co-hosts, Bangladesh will undoubtedly benefit from their familiarity with sub-continental conditions. A quarter-final berth appears well within their reach, particularly if the mercurial Tamim Iqbal enjoys success at the top of the order.
Squad: Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Abdur Razzak, Imrul Kayes, Junaid Siddique, Mahmudullah, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim (wicketkeeper), Naeem Islam, Nazmul Hossain, Raqibul Hasan, Rubel Hossain, Shafiul Islam, Shahriar Nafees, Suhrawadi Shuvo.
Captain: Shakib Al Hasan
Coach: Jamie Siddons
Key Man: Tamim Iqbal
Tamim is one of the most exciting young talents in the game and will relish the opportunity to shine on the biggest stage. A joy to watch when in full flow, the left-handed opener can alter the complexion of a game with his destructive hitting. England fans certainly need no reminder of his ability after his sterling performances against Andy Flower's side in 2010.

how tight can I expect my custom cabinet maker to get the gaps between the drawers (top to bottom and side to side)? I have a meeting tomorrow and when I ask about their specs I'd like to have a frame of reference. thanks! |

Mine are pretty tight. I don't really have stacks next to each other, but between cabinets (one door back to the next door back) looks like about 1/4 in, maybe less? The drawers are all very tight top to bottom, definitely less than 1/4 in, more like 1/8 or less in most places. They gaps look wider in pictures from the front because of the edge profile, but looking from the side not much space at all. |
Thickness of a nickel should be just about perfect...have been using that trick for years, much easier then trying to measure 2MM (or a light 3/32") via tape measure! There is no real standard that I know of, the higher end European brands are pretty much right at 2MM...American brands tend to be closer to 1/8"...of course that is based on my personal experience I would suggest keeping a slightly larger gap between the bottom of the counter and the top of any doors/drawer fronts |
I have 1/8" in each direction. It looks like 1/4" from the front because of the bevel at the face of the drawers, but pull the drawers out and measure and it's 1/8" on the nose. |
I'm used to 1/16" per edge making 1/8 between doors, drawers both side to side and top to bottom. Bottom edges flush, top edges 1/4. Nickel sounds good if making em. |
- Posted by andreak100 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 3, 14 at 20:52
We're in the process of getting "adjusted" now that cabinets are installed...we are about 1/8". Truth be told, that narrow of a gap is making me a little nervous...I keep thinking that they are going to hit one another. |

More important than a particular thickness of a space is consistency. |

Big field (5500 announced at the start, though only 4300 finished!), generally flat, fast and usually well supported, though today most of the crowd seemed to be the people I knew!The medal is FANTASTIC, big brass bling, shaped showing the cathedral, castle and red arrows, and with a 1 1/2 inch thick full coloured ribbon! Goody bag otherwise a bit empty, though the cotton t-shirt was free this year. Could have done with some choc, crisps and juice?The route is good, but as I run part of it most days I couldn't argue really. Would be nice to have 400m and 200m to go signs for the clock chasers!Date of review: March 25, 2012

Suffolk Bancorp (Nasdaq – SUBK, "Suffolk"), today announced that on November 29, 2011 the Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted Suffolk's request for a stay of the delisting of Suffolk's common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market, pending Suffolk's hearing scheduled for January 19, 2012.
As previously announced, on November 8, 2011 and November 14, 2011, Nasdaq Staff notified Suffolk it was subject to delisting for failure to timely file its Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2011. On November 15, 2011, Suffolk appealed the delisting determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel and requested that the Panel stay any delisting action pending the scheduled hearing.
Suffolk continues to work to complete these Quarterly Reports, as well as amended filings with respect to the periods ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, and expects to file prior to the expiration of the stay.

Hatred, A Game About a Serial Mass Murderer, Has Been Banned From Steam Greenlight
Hatred's trailer made waves earlier this back in October for being... well, pretty disturbing. Basically, it's about a serial mass murderer who goes on a 'genocidal crusade' against innocent civilians because he hates the world—you know, every goth middle schooler's dream! But now the game's getting attention not for its hyper violence, but for getting banned off of Steam Greenlight.

Hutchinson considers firefighter sick leave change
HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) The Hutchinson City Council is considering a change to a sick leave policy thats been part of the city firefighters contract for 40 years.
The council is scheduled to consider the proposed change Tuesday.
Firefighters can currently accumulate 360 hours of unused sick leave, plus an additional 36 hours for each year of perfect attendance. The city will buy those hours back when a firefighter takes full retirement, disability, retirement or dies.
The city wants to go to a system that would pay the employees at most 33 percent of the hours theyve accumulated and then only if they had a low to moderate utilization rate for sick leave.
The change is similar to one the council approved earlier for the Service Employees International Union.

My study focuses on exceptional fossil deposits for the preservation (mostly non-biomineralized organisms), abundance and diversity of organisms: these include principally the Burgess Shale (Middle Cambrian, Canada ), and the Chengjiang biota (Lower Cambrian, China ).
The Royal Ontario Museum possesses the largest collection of Burgess Shale material in the world with over 150,000 specimens. This collection forms an important basis for my research.

Gerhard Steinle was president at Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design of North America until 1997, when he started Prisma Design International, Inc. (Tustin, CA). One of his projects was to design a roadster on top of an existing 4-seat coupe for a Korean client. The detailed interior rendering, based on the digital data, was created in the Rhino 3D modeling program
Car bodies, wheels, stick shifts, and so many other things are not simply assorted radii and straight lines. Instead, these objects are free-form shapes, which are particularly difficult to create/design in the world of parametrics. It is these shapes that Rhino excels at creating. Rhino, from Robert McNeel & Associates (Seattle, WA), is an extremely inexpensive, Windows-based, free-form 3D modeling program that handles non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curves, surfaces, and solids. It also supports non-manifold geometry and polygon meshes. Designers can even edit surfaces based on how they reflect light, not just on some number. Company officials like to say that Rhino can go beyond high-school geometry, beyond straight lines and radiuses.
With conventional solids modelers, you pretty much start with some profile, add 2D or 3D curves, and eventually get to a solid. In Rhino, you can join a bunch of surfaces together to make a solid. Or, you can take a solid, extract parts of it, and then edit those parts as if they were a surface model. Or, just start a design from scratch. In all cases, you wind up with a valid solid model that you can manufacture. Because it doesn't use parametrics, you can create shapes and solids that you otherwise couldn't create in conventional solids modelers.
Well, Rhino also tends to be a bit different in the "price point." It costs $895 per seat. At this price, people who need a free-form design package just go out and buy it. Small design studios find it well suited to their needs, especially because Rhino supports a slew of CAD file formats, including IGES and STEP. This lets designers successfully transfer their solids information from the low-priced-per-seat Rhino to the more-expensive CAD, engineering, renderer, and visualization tools used further up the product collaboration chain. This is why you'll often find Rhino co-existing with other solids modelers.
A lot of designers in the automotive industry use Rhino early in the design process for generating, exploring, and refining shapes, not for engineering them. In fact, Rhino doesn't have all the engineering functions one has to wade through when using other solid modelers. Designers are also buying Rhino because they need something portable and inexpensive that can handle 3D information.
Rhino is available with plug-ins for CAM and for specific industrial design applications. Two plug-ins worth noting for automotive are Flamingo and Penguin, both rendering tools. Flamingo provides high-end, photorealistic ray-tracing/radiosity rendering. (The Rhino/Flamingo bundle costs $1,195.) Penguin ($195) is more for cartoon-like, watercolor, or freehand sketch-type renderings. A third plug-in, Bongo ($295 until October 31, 2004), gives designers the means to create simple animations using keyframe tools common in high-end animation packages.
Rhino started in 1992 as an AutoCAD plug-in. The latest version, Rhino 3.0, is a complete rewrite. Mathematicians on-site can change the kernel—a full surface and solid kernel—as needed. The software runs on ordinary Windows desktops and laptops (256 MB RAM or more is recommended), and it takes advantage of OpenGL graphics cards.
Rhino does not currently support line weights, line types, plotting, sheet size, and things like that typically found in 2D CAD packages. However, there's a third-party plug-in that provides those functions.
Rhino was the exclusive design software for the 2054 model-year Lexus...in the movie Minority Report.

frustrated mom
We own a motel, and we have a house that we rent out nightly. We just bought another house for nightly rental that we are fixing up. I love color, so, so far this is what we have done with the kitchen. Gutted it, we have ordered dark cherry cupboards that are coming in tomorrow, we are excited to see what they will look like, we have a tile floor that has the dark cherry swirls with just a little light brown in it. We painted the walls a sage green. The problem is we need to decide if we want a black or white oven and micro range, and they had the window sills painted white. I don't think that white will look right with all of the darks. We also got a light granite countertop that has some lighter brown, and some flecks of black in it. If we go black on the appliances, what color should we paint the window sills? That is a big question. Should we blend them into the walls and paint them the sage green also? Should we sand them down and just stain them? What stain would go with dark cherry? We also have a door entrance in the kitchen that goes into a room where the fridge and washer/dryer are, and that entrance is a honey wood stain. Should we try to match that? I just want it to look nice, since we are going through all the trouble of fixing it up. I would appreciate any advice.

Hey folks,
So I put a spacer on the front of my truck and the AAL (ProComp) on the back when I went to 285/70/17s. Well, my tires rub so bad and, my sliders periodically knock on my body, so I was considering adding a 2" body lift to get more clearance and wanted to get your thoughts.
I know body lifts are cheesy and I plan on upgrading to UCAs and Kings when I get my next gold brick, but I need to get the clearance.
I know most body lifts are cheap nylon, but I understand someone makes a better aluminum with one bigger diameter spacers. I assume you still leave the factory rubber spacers in place when adding a lift.
Is this acceptable? Does anyone have any examples, advice or horror stories?
RZ Rob
