Five Four Original Straight Jean 1 1
Kinda small The pants are nice, and I can't imagine anything blacker than these so that's a plus. However, I tend to wear a 29 inch waste and I can barely button these guys up. That said, I do recommend buying them but go one size bigger than you'd think. October 9, 2013

It is not fully operational, and although there aren't any "glitches", there are somethings that will greatly inhibit your ability to create levels with the software, such as a non-adjustable screen resolution and not being able to modify more than 30 polygons...I will upload a hotfix soon...

Model Creator for Game Maker (v5.0)
This program allows you to create 3D models for Game Maker. This is not the first version, it's just the first time I created a topic for it on this forum. Older versions can be found on the Dutch GMC: link.
Video toturial on YouTube: Modeling a chair
If you have no idea how to start, it is a good idea to watch this video first.
This is a screenshot of the main program. It shows the entire menu and two views.
Online documentation
The program is a lot easier to use than most professional modeling programs. It is meant for creating low-poly models (<1000 triangles) as Game Maker would slow down anyway if you tried to use models that are too complicated. However, it is perfectly possible to create high-poly models with it as well.
Download Model Creator v5.0 (1.75MB)
- Supports the GM model file format
- Supports File Association to open the models more quickly
- Supports triangles and all basic shapes
- Supports color, alpha and texture (with UV mapping)
- Supports lots of transformations to edit your models
- Supports undo/redo (up to 20 times!)
- Uses my calculator DLL for all user input (you can use expressions)
- Uses Max WinAPI for all popup menus
Posted 02 March 2009 - 07:56 PM
Its really simple to use with online tutorials. It has good texture builders and UV mapping. The modelingtools are also very powerful. Unfortunately it cant export as anything but obj. pov. and VRML but if you really want to you can build plugins for it because it runs on Java.

3d Animator latest version 1.66 for 7,8 and GameMaker: Studio, see release notes.
Morphing models feature has been improved and new feature 3d text is added.
Get 3d Animator, a tool that brings 3d animations to your 3d GameMaker game. It generates authentic GM 7, 8 and Studio code. No extension is required . Just make an animated model and paste the generated code into your 3d object or let 3d Animator create a GM: Studio object. You can import and convert models, and repair uv maps. Fully documented manual.
Tutorials on youtube examples put into Doom Revisited,importing a running zDoom man, making a ball fall from a table, getting your animation into your game
3d Animator has, amongst others, the following features:
- Create static or animated models using the key frame or model sequence mode.
- Play animation forward, backwards, back and forth or looped at different speeds (in 3d Animator as in your game).
- Build an animated model out of several types of shapes (blocks, ellipsoid, etc.) or imported models stored in the shape list.
- Wavefront .obj models, 3d Studio Max models, Animated Quake 2 models can be imported (and exported as GameMaker models).
- Imported models can be corrected (enlarged, rotated, etc.) and their texture uv maps can be fixed/drawn.
- By using key frame motion shapes/imported models can be moved, rotated, bounced, enlarged, etc. in time, so parts can fall down, bounce, circle, fly, etc.
- Imported models can be morphed and merged.
- Each shape can have a texture and texture maps of imported models can be fixed/drawn by using the uv mapper.
- Keyframes (which hold the properties like position, angle, rotation of a shape) can be added, moved and deleted.
- All the changes you made can be undone and redone if necessary and
- if 3d Animator or your PC crashes you can go back to your very last made change.
- GameMaker code can be generated for your static model for draw & create event and
- code for your animated model for create, step and draw event.

Older release notes on website
I mentioned earlier I made this tool to make animations of breaking furniture and other
stuff for my game Doom Revisited. I wanted the player to be able to
smash up things. I find a 3d game without animations so static. Try out
this new tool and use your imagination to come up with some good
animations which enrichen your 3d game. 3d Animator has an extensive manual including a walkthrough tutorial for making your first animation.
Good luck and let my know what you think of it

2nd Skin is a program that automatically celshades your models. Written in Game Maker.
Posted 06 February 2011 - 01:49 PM
If you ever imagined becoming a 3D artist professional then chances are a program like blender is what you are going to use. This program is a 3D animation studio and most definitely is downloaded more then any other program of the type, though it may not be the most popular among artist. This programs ability is limited only by its user so I recommend spending a few weeks time researching what there is to learn about it. I can offer advice on its use but only if you have exhausted other possibilities as I am not exactly selfless.
Also check out the Blender website for tutorials and links to other resources. Currently in development is the blender 2.5x (soon to be 2.6) series and it worth the download. The 2.5x series is currently in beta (02/11) but I have had very little issue with it in my own trial, and it may serve as a better version to use as a beginner for many reasons. You can visit the main Blender website here for more info.
Lastly if any of these links are broken please pm me and I will restore (this should not happen).

LITITZ, Pa. (AP) - Before and during the American Revolution, conscientious objectors were often greeted with scorn and their patriotism was questioned.
Leaders in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County sought to ease tensions by urging the growing number of German immigrants with religious objections to war to demonstrate their patriotism by giving as much money as they could afford to the revolutionary cause.
The proposition is spelled out in a July 11, 1775, public notice known as a "broadside" that experts recently confirmed as the only known English-language copy. It's on display at the Lititz Moravian Archives & Museum here.
Scott Gordon, the Lehigh University English professor who confirmed its uniqueness, says the notice breaks no new ground historically, but illuminates how leaders of a new democracy tried to manage its diverse communities.

Sea-level rise and beach renourishment? There is a lot more involved in coastal issues than just those two issues. Listening to Pantano's perspective of issues right after hearing Rouzer simply tote his affiliation with Jesse Helms again as though it is a qualified for US Congress is and should be eye opening to some people. »

This is what she gets:
She's a lady, whoa whoa whoa, she's a lady..... monster.
I've stuck to it though. We are on week 3 and I've only missed once, because of an eye infection. No, I can't run with an eye infection...on a Monday....at 5:15 in.the.morning.
It's mostly cleared up now, I just can't wear contacts. I'm basically blind without contacts or glasses, so you can imagine my fear while trying to decide what that thing was coming after me on the football field today. It was a tackling dummy. And it wasn't moving; I was. Uh....I promise I'm smart.
Worst part is my Nike running app keeps screwing up. Anyone else have this problem? I am still too cheap to buy a Garmin, so I have to live this way, counting laps around the field. It's a real drag to have to keep mental track of your distance when you are trying to not think about your distance.

Top 10 reasons to engage employees through social media
Give your business a competitive advantage
Paula BergNearly half of all U.S. companies still ban workers from using social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn while on the job. However, the 100 Best Companies to Work For embrace social media, going so far as to allow their employees to represent their brand online, resolve customers issues, and create online content.
Even highly regulated organizations like Mayo Clinic, Deloitte and USAA are able to reap the benefits of social media while many of their peers are still fretting over IT challenges, security concerns and productivity loss. If your organization isn't using social media for employee communication, here are 10 reasons to reconsider:
Unlock Institutional Knowledge and Expertise – Internal blogs, forums and social networks allow organizations to unlock institutional knowledge by allowing employees to share questions, answers, and valuable information in open forums rather than the confines of email, where only a few people benefit from shared information. Employees can stay abreast of the most up-to-date information and employers can identify staff needs.
Unleash Creativity, Diverse Thinking and Innovation- Constant idea sharing in a cutting-edge environment creates a culture of innovation and collaboration. Social media allows organizations to easily conduct virtual brainstorms and focus groups by tapping into a broad base of diverse thinking and creativity.
Generate Leads and Revenue– Sharing marketing messages and offers with employees in easy-to-pass-along formats can help employees accurately advocate for your products and services, generate leads, and boost the bottom line.
Improve Speed, Agility and Efficiency – The ability to communicate with employees in real time can help organizations educate employees, distribute facts, quash misinformation, and respond to urgent employee needs. This speed is especially critical for crisis communications – both inside and outside your organization.
Strengthen Culture and Employee Camaraderie – Frequent and timely communication helps employees stay plugged into what's going on in the organization. The ability to connect employees with similar talents and interests can also build stronger working relationships.
Reduce Costs and Increase Productivity– Effective use of social media can eliminate unnecessary paper, printing and postage, while helping employees interact more efficiently.
Eliminate Regional and Global Communication Barriers – Social media helps employees communicate beyond borders and time zones, eliminating silos among departments and geographically dispersed teams.
Make Information Mobile – Mobile-friendly communication allows organizations to communicate with employees anytime, anywhere, which can be particularly useful for a workforce that is frequently on the move or without computer access.
Retain and Recruit Top Talent – Social media allows you to communicate more effectively with the next generation of employees – namely Millennials – for whom social media is standard practice.
Lead With Clear Communication – All organizations must continually reinforce their missions, values and strategies to rally employees around a common cause. Social media provides endless opportunities to motivate employees in fresh and creative ways.
Engaged employees are a competitive advantage in any industry, going above and beyond to make a measurable difference in their organizations. Whether your organization if undergoing changes, launching new products or services, or rethinking how you do business, make sure you are maximizing your internal communication efforts to support your business goals.

"Great fully featured IM client."
My favorite feature is probably the option to encrypt Trillian to Trillian chat sessions over ICQ and AIM. The one thing I didn't like about Trillian 3 was the default layout was a bit cluttered, a helpful soul on the Trillian boards pointed me to preferences > skins > advanced > minimal that seemed to solve my needs. In general, if you use multiple chat protocols or just don't like the idea of installing anything from AOL on your PC, Trillian is the way to go.

Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels
OnClick now provides a pressed and released variable you can check for.
if pressed then -- do mouse down actions elseif released then -- do mouse up actions end
This means your script will get called twice when someone clicks the panel.
Here is a youtube link to a video Tutorial
Ive created an Example Texture Pack.
This example pack is just a template. If you want to use it as a storage spot for your art, look at the read me file for directions on usage.
I recently stopped using Discord Art due to it causing major lag, everyone recommended KG panels as the art mod to use, but I ran into a problem.
My image is 512x512 and previews of it show up in kg panels, but I cannot get it to show up in an actual panel (unless I click tile background ><).
here is the image if it helps: http://rapidshare.com/files/235373238/texture1.rar.html
Whenever i save a file using Photoshop as a .tga it gives it a solid fill white background (despite i save it as a checkered "empty" background), i cant see any help on the site after a mind numbing search, any help will be appreciated. thanks in advance
Is there a global lock/unlock option?
What I want to do is have a panel that shows when I am in a party or raid, but hide it when I am solo.
Seems like that first script in your sample scripts would do that, but I must be missing something.
Under "Sample Scripts" the first one looks like it shows or hides a frame based on party status, is that correct?
I tried the sample script for party or raid, but when I join a party, the panel doesn't show. What did I do wrong?
Awesome thanks heaps,resized them and they're working perfectly :D

Reflection Component Separation Using Statistical Analysis and Polarisation AbstractWe show how to cast the problem of specularity subtraction as blind source separation from polarisation images. We commence by summarizing the relationships between the specular and diffuse reflection components for polarised images. We show how to use singular value decomposition for component separation. In particular, we show how reliable results can be obtained using three images acquired with different polariser angles under diffuse reflection. The proposed method can be used as the preprocessing step in shape from shading, segmentation, reflectance estimation and many other computer vision applications.

Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy plans to open the doors for its 23rd drug store in early November.
Retail News Breaks Archives
BOULDER, Colo. – Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy plans to open the doors for its 23rd drug store in early November.
The pharmacy chain said Wednesday that the new 4,700-square-foot location will be located on Santa Cruz Avenue in downtown Menlo Park, Calif., the ninth Pharmaca store in the San Francisco Bay Area, and will employ eight licensed practitioners.
Overall, the Boulder, Colo.-based pharmacy operator, which offers traditional prescription filling services along with natural and complementary health solutions, has drug stores in California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington.
Besides expanding its brick-and-mortar stores, Pharmaca also announced a bigger online presence with the addition of 500 new products to its pharmaca.com web site.
Pharmaca said rising interest in natural and alternative remedies led it to expand its e-commerce site to provide consumers nationwide with increased access to such products, as well as a growing educational forum on which consumers can learn about a variety of health conditions and common natural treatments.
Expanded features of the pharmaca.com site include diverse traditional and alternative product offerings, with about 4,500 products ranging from vitamins, supplements and herbs to personal care items, eco-home products and beauty essentials. Pharmaca noted that it's one of the only sites featuring hard-to-find brands such as Pure Encapsulations, Vitanica and Sanitas Skincare, along with a variety of private-label Pharmaca products.
The enhanced site also offers simpler navigation via an improved search function plus a variety of resources for those seeking informative, educational health and wellness information. Pharmaca said visitors can get real answers to health questions through the Ask A Practitioner and Ask A Pharmacist features. And in the coming months, plans call for the site to include an expanded Integrative Health Center, featuring video, podcasts and articles about a range of conditions and treatments.
"We are thrilled to extend the values of Pharmaca to more residents in the Bay Area with our new store and to consumers across the U.S. through the expansion of our e-commerce site," Pharmaca president and chief executive officer Mark Panzer said in a statement. "Through our distinctive concept, we provide our customers with all of their preventative and treatment care needs, along with health-focused educational resources, aligning nicely with the shifting trend in health care to self-care."

Jason Gould to leave Gravitas over dispute with Scott Tycer

As someone who once worked for Tycer at Aries (and is still working the line, hence Anon), I'm glad to see that others are taking notice of his 'antics'. Gould is a class act indeed. Scott, not so much. It may take some time, but when Karma comes around to the Tycer world, it won't be pleasant to watch.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 17, 2009 at 10:58 PM
jason broke the news himself on twitter, with a tweet that said he resigned that night and his last day would be the 27th.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 18, 2009 at 1:04 PM
How refreshing to see someone finally come out and call it as it is! One correction I feel I must point out, Tycer has not been in a kitchen for well over 6 years. Gould stepped in at Aries and was the force behind the food there (just as he is at Gravitas - Tycer's never even touched a pan in that restaurant) and it is understood that Dax Mcanear runs the kitchen at Textile. Tycer is only at Textile long enough to drink his requisite 2 bottles of wine a night (another common known fact).
I concur with the first comment in regards to karma. I'd hate to be in their world when it hits. - AnonymousAugust 18, 2009 at 5:03 PM
If Jason broke the news on Twitter, a lot of people did not know about it.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 19, 2009 at 11:50 AM
As a long time supporter of Jason, all of the above info and comments are absolutely TRUE! Aries survived far beyond it's natural life ONLY thru the efforts of it's then Sous Chef, Jason. And from it's inception Jason has been the heart and soul of Gravitas, on every level... every amazing dish he created, the respect and integrity with which he treated his staff (not to mention their loyalty to him), his wonderful "Aussie" personality and ease with his guests, his willingness to give back to the Houston community for countless charity events... BUT - the one incident that distills this sordid situation in one sentence is this: I was in Gravitas for brunch about a year after it opened, and happened to be introduced to Scott's father, who raved about Gravitas, and began singing JASON'S praises. I was surprised, and then Scott's father said to our entire table, " You shouldn't be surprised, Jason is the talent and brains in this restaurant, and Scott will NEVER be the Chef that Jason is." All true, every word. Karma does exsist, and when it happens here, the word "tsunami" come to mind.

I was at Gravitas with a group one night when Scott rampaged through the dinning room screaming at the staff all the way to the kitchen. He is obviously a troubled person and
should lay off the drinking. - AnonymousAugust 19, 2009 at 12:56 PM
I guess we will not be going back to Gravitas.
There is no Gravitas without Jason. - AnonymousAugust 20, 2009 at 10:33 AM
Whoever brought Scott's family into this equation has absolutely no class. Furthermore, Scott Tycer is one of the most innovative Chefs in this city, and is one of the first to bring fine dining to the Houston scene. For someone who has worked with both men for several years, I have learned so much from both of them. This is a personal matter between two men. I wish them both the best and hope they continue to give Houston upscale dining at its best.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 20, 2009 at 11:02 AM
Regardless of Tycer's faults and drinking habits you should all educate yourselves on the subject before making an opinion. You have no idea what really happened. - VVeritasAugust 20, 2009 at 7:42 PM
Tycer is a liar, a cheat, lazy and a drunk. Those in the know say he screwed Chef Gould. Gravitas will be lucky to make it to next year. Staff are bailing on the place as I type this.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 20, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Thats funny that "Weritas" claims that those in the know say that Tycer screwed Gould. There are like 5 people who actually know what really happened and the rest is speculation.

Sounds to me that Weritas was probably a substandard employee that got canned and is now angry at Scott for not wanting scrubs in his restaurants.

Isnt it funny how Gordan Ramsey (or any European Chef) can scream and rampage and belittle people, but when it happens it Texas its the end of the world. Isnt it funny how Tycers restaurants are awesome even though he "Doesnt do anything". I guess Thomas Kellar is working the line every night and has a beer with the whole kitchen staff at the end of the shift.... right? Oh wait, lets get back to reality. Wake up !! The president doesnt mow the White House lawn.

i will never forget the story of a dear friend who drove in from Austin to have dinner at Aries bout 6 years ago. this friend is a quadriplegic and asked the waiter to have the kitchen cut his food for him before it is brought to the table. the waiter told him that he would have to first check with the chef, who was scott at that time. waiter came back and told the my friend that the chef wouldn't cut it cause it would mess up the plate presentation. my friend then asked if he could see the plate and after seeing the presentation of the plate would they they please take it to the kitchen and cut it for him to easily eat. the waiter said he would have to check with the chef first.....the response was no! so other members of his dining party did the honors of cutting his meal for him.....this person is a very well respected individual, unpretentious, very high profile, & very well traveled....he handled himself as a true gentleman in this setting but swore he would never go back to eat at Aires!!!!
sounds as if scott is at least consistant.... - AnonymousAugust 21, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Those of you to believe Gould is a class act, don't know him well. Those employees that praise him are on the line with him and have nothing he can manipulate or use to benefit him. He's a lying, cheating jerk that will step on anyone in his path to fulfill his dream of being a restaurant owner. He uses and abuses and even seduces anyone that can get him closer to that dream and thinks nothing of it because he blatanly tells them this is his dream and nothing or no one else matters, all with a charming smile and an Australian accent. For years of doing this to people, even on your own staff, this is exactly what Gould deserves. This is his Karma.
As for Tycer, as any chef or anyone in the restaurant industry, he does drink, he does yell, but he also has a very kind heart. He is rough on his staff, but so are many other bosses out there that aren't publicly critiqued. Gould tried to be Tycer and failed short. Tycer has the knowledge to do and teach and does fulfill his dreams with and without Gould and will continue doing so. - AnonymousAugust 21, 2009 at 10:26 PM
um wouldn't it make more sense to ask your friends and party to cut your food rather then teh waiter or chef anyway. its not like if you were to go to Denny's they would do it either.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 21, 2009 at 10:28 PM
I've never known a Chef that didn't drink alcohol and yell at his staff. Its a high stress atmosphere and people and employees shouldn't take it persoanlly. Its called the restaurant industry. If you can't handle it then get out.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 22, 2009 at 12:52 AM
I'm amused at those who feel Gould swooped in and saved Aries as if Tycer hadn't created and successfully ran Aries for many years. As any chef with multiple businesses would do, he hired a chef to continue his efforts as he would. Tycer taught Gould, not the other way around people. Without Tycer, Gravitas would have never existed and no one would know Gould's name.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 22, 2009 at 1:36 PM
Finally some smart comments are coming in, rather than a bunch of idiots who think Gould is so awesome and nice and caring. I laugh at those who wont go to Gravitas without him. I'm sure someone else will be able to make steak frites, beef bourguignon, salad nicoise and croque madaam's. It turns out that these "oh so creative" dishes have only been done since man discovered fire.

HOUSTON IS A COWBOY TOWN FOR SURE Oh, the righteous anger of the anonymous Tycer defenders. C'mon folks, don't any of you have the courage to stand behind your opinions?
(And to our friend who accused us of plagiarizing a Houston Press review of Textile - that's kinda strange, because we've never posted a review of Textile, much less a plagarized one. Your comment was cheerfully deleted.)- AnonymousAugust 24, 2009 at 9:37 AM
I think both are great chefs, but with opposing personalities. Gravitas will be fine without Gould. And I wish Guold the best of luck in his mission to be the chef/owner of his own restaurant.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 25, 2009 at 10:02 AM
Hey "smart" person, every comment on here is anonymous, except Weritas, but if I had to guess, I would bet thats not a real name either. Also is there something wrong with defending the truth? Or is it your goal to crucify someone who made mistakes when they were first started out years & years ago, regardless of the facts in this particular case.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 28, 2009 at 1:50 AM
as someone who worked at aires and opened gravitas. i think both are in the wrong and both hopefully will be better off apart. both men are hard to work for and both talented. i have learned many things from both. and had the honor to build gravitas with both. to say either man would be nothing without the other is a mistake. but the whole of the union, is better. gravitas wasnt built to change the face of dining. it was created as a bistro with great food, great price point,to hang and enjoy friends and food. and we suceed in that. winning awards and praises and a few disses. my heart is sadden more at seeing an end to a partnership of over 8 yrs end and a end of a restaurant i cherish, one that is in my heart and soul, one where my sweat still lays---Sexy
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 28, 2009 at 9:18 AM
they are both talented men, and it is a shame they have not been able to get along for a few years. I think Jason has a better business sense where Scott tends not to listen and that is why he is always in financial trouble. the restaurant community knows that scott is a great chef but a terriable business man who reacts before he thinks and lets his ego get in the way of making smart business decisions. everyone knows that is why aries failed financially. It is sad that he brings such great businesses such as gravitas and kraftsmen to financial woes with poor business decisions. he needs to stick to what he knows best and do what other great chefs do who have a sucessfull business, leave the running of it to those more qualified. maybe then we as investors and vendors can get the money that is owed to us.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 28, 2009 at 4:36 PM
Sounds like both are going to be doing some deep thinking. Jason is young - he can dust himself off, learn from his ignorance, and get busy with a new place. It sounds like Tycer has not learned yet from past mistakes - which is really sad because restaurants are such a difficult business and he does have the talent. Looking forward to seeing what Jason does next.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 28, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Aries had a very good run and made a name for Scott Tycer. It gave him the base to create other ventures such as Kraftsmen, Gravitas and now Textile. Scott is all about creativity and the art of cooking and not about the all mighty dollar. He enjoys what he does and we enjoy his food and I'm pretty sure each and every one of you enjoy his bread, his Kraftsmen artisan bread, at any restaurant you sit down at in this city.
Scott created a good chef in Jason Gould, but the menu at Gravitas was nothing spectacular. Scott will do a great job at recreating the menu. Scott's new sous chef at Textile, Dax McAnear, will blow Jason Gould right out of the water. He's definitely a better chef and a better person as a whole.
Keep it up Scott! - AnonymousDecember 3, 2009 at 6:04 PM
Have not eaten at either place, nor at Aries because Tycer's drunken reputation preceeded him and his food.
What a bunch of alcoholics. - AnonymousDecember 20, 2009 at 12:35 PM
Whoever is justifying his yelling at his employees IS AN A-HOLE, TOO! Employers should NEVER yell at employees - it is an abuse of their position, rude and ABUSIVE in and of itself! The employees are forced to put up with it b/c if they say anything against him, they know they will be fired and "there will be 10 more people lined up to take their job." I am so tired of restaurant owners/managers excusing that kind of behavior, aside from the fact that they always run their restaurants on a skeleton staff, forcing them to work without proper breaks and squeezing all the can out of them just to take home a bigger profit margin. IT IS NOT OK TO ABUSE YOUR EMPLOYEES, DAMMIT! And give me a break with the "it you can't hack it, don't do it" - even a dog knows when it is being kicked. Restaurant employees need to organize and put these abusive restaurant owners out of business.

Two things that stand out:
1.) after half a year, gravitas hasnt shut its doors, and doesnt appear to be doing so in the next six months. So i dont know where this "tsunami" of bad karma is going to come from but your predictions on that as well as other posters predictions of such were just wrong.
2.) After saying you would never write about scott tycer restaurants because it left a bad taste in your mouth, you awarded plinio chef of the year and he still works for scott tycer.
did the passage of time soften your stance on things, change your perspective. did you learn something that you didnt know before? because the reports that you allowed to be posted on your blog of scott's rampant drinking would be classified as slanderous and a responsible news organization wouldnt allow them to stay up as long as you have. But I guess that what seperates bad bloggers who get less than 100 unique hits in a night from productive people in society. Thanks for the comments, Anon. My responses:
1. Yes, Gravatas has survived for six months. I expected no less; the Tycers have been doing this long enough to be able to weather a slow spell.
2. Plinio is not Tycer. I think he's one of the most talented chefs in Houston, and I wouldn't dream of penalizing him because of where he works.
I don't edit comments from readers, they get posted as is. And I've not been contacted by anyone in Tycer's organization with a takedown request, so I see no meaningful objection; thus they stay up.

I decided in the winter to try to grow some hops and my father-in-law's this year. He has a 3+acre garden behind his house. Since he has Alzheimers, my wife and I are up about every other week anyway, so I knew I'd be able to keep a decent eye on the plants. I put my rhizomes in the ground three weeks ago or so. I have 4 Centennials, 2 Cascades, 2 Goldings, and 4 Nuggets. A couple of the Nuggets are growing like crazy already, so my wife's cousin and I started putting up our structure today. We used 26' utility poles for the uprights - they're buried 4' deep. We have 1/4" cable strung between them. We've attached a pulley to the cable for each pair of vines. We have some baling twine that we've cut to 50' lengths. This is what the vines will climb - 25' per side. We'll string up the twine tomorrow, and start training the Nuggets. Here's a picture of the structure so far:
That is awesome man. I'd put up a similar type trellis, but I don't have the room right now. Wow, just Wow.
How do you BBQ an elephant....first you get your elephant....
I would do the exact same thing, but I live in the burbs. GRArrrh! That's cool. Who climbed that pole to take that pic?
No climbing necessary. Wife's cousin has a massive motorized boom lift. It helped a lot!
Here's the boom we used:
Got the twine hung today, and put out a crapload of mulch. I got the long Nugget wrapped around the twine, and it hung like it knew what it was doing. Hopefully, everything will be up by next Saturday, when I go back up there!
epic! well done. keep us updated with pictures please.

Netflix Can't Hold HBO's Jockstrap
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As a nation, we could use some meaningless levity right now. I know I require a laugh. So that's what I aim to provide -- a media- and stock market-related chuckle -- amidst what we're all feeling now . . . unified sadness as we attempt to make sense of the senseless.
For a giggle, just read this headline: Netflix Catching Up to HBO Quality. For an outburst of laughter, see the article where TheStreet's Andrea Tse summarizes BTIG Media analyst Richard Greenfield's bull case for Netflix (NFLX - Get Report).
While I can't necessarily argue with his $250 price target on the stock, I just wish he would acknowledge the irrationality -- some of which he espouses -- that historically takes NFLX higher.
Here's the crux of Greenfield's argument as relayed by Tse with clarifying interjections:
(Netflix) is moving closer . . . toward possessing the "intangible quality of the brand" that Time Warner's (TWX - Get Report) HBO has, and perhaps may even have a competitive edge in this regard, by offering a far more attractive price to subscribers and a wide array of kids programming that HBO does not have.. . . intangible quality of the brand . . . That's lofty, Rich. Has HBO ever hallmarked itself around "attractive price" and "a wide array of kids programming?" Fraggle Rock was pretty good, but never a cornerstone of the franchise. HBO doesn't compete with Netflix in this regard so, out of the gate, Greenfield presents a flawed comparison. Reed Hastings floats this absurd notion that Netflix and HBO are somehow similar or on equal playing fields in terms of "quality" and uncritical Wall Street analysts such as Greenfield concoct errant adaptations.
Greenfield also lauds Netflix's critically acclaimed, but underwatched serial dramas such as "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" and its launch of original programming.
So, all of a sudden, we're assigning ownership of AMC Networks (AMCX - Get Report) content to Netflix?
"They are trying to reach a point where consumers know that there will always be something new and interesting coming that requires a Netflix subscription, in addition to top-tier syndicated programming and a sufficient movie selection."Another stretch. Something's gotta give -- the expectation that Netflix will always have something new and interesting or its $8/month all-you-can-eat pricing scheme.
"Netflix just works, wherever you are, with an interface that does not require the ability to read, which is critical for children, increasing the Netflix's overall 'stickiness,'" Greenfield added.I presume Wall Street firms consider literacy a prerequisite for an analyst gig. There's this book I was excited to read -- These Guys Have All The Fun: Inside The World Of ESPN -- but it just never did much for me. However, it's convenient to pull it off the shelf, turn to page 5 and cite a few lines that outline the history of pay-TV alongside the introduction of ESPN as the world's first all-sports television network:
... in 1978, there were just over 14 million homes receiving cable -- less than 20 percent of TV households. HBO had gone on the air in 1975 but offered limited programming and signed off at midnight . . . and in 1978, despite the fact that HBO reached only 1.5 million homes, Viacom fired up its slow-blooming imitation, Showtime.In terms of growth trajectory, we're dealing with a much different population -- in terms of size and savvy -- than we were in the late 1970s. So, of course, you can't compare HBO (or Showtime's) growth side-by-side with Netflix's.

I would like to add a lemon finish to my Belgian Whit and I have read a lemon tincture is a good way to do this. I have no idea what this is or how to do it. I just brewed yesterday and am fermenting now. How do I make a lemon tincture and when do I add it? I have read a bit that vodka is somehow used and I add it when I transfer to the secondary? Please help. Thanks!
get some lemons (I would recommend organic since the skin is where most of the pesticides are and we need the skin) zest them (that is take off the yellow part of the skin but leave the white pith) pour some alcohol in a bottle or some sort of container you can keep sealed for a couple weeks put zest in alcohol (ideally high proof stuff like everclear or 151) after a couple weeks you will have a lemon tincture Im not sure how much you will need or how much would be good amount of lemon flavor in a beer, sorry
Read about the pseudoscience of homeopathy to find out about tinctures and how to make them. I'm on my phone out I'd give you a link.
Time to have some fun
Does anyone know how much to use and when to add it?
The great thing about a tincture is that you can add it at bottling time, and add to taste. Start low, and keep adding until the you get the desired flavor.
For homebrew supplies and equipment in Fredericksburg, VA go to thebrewshop.biz.
From what I have read 1/2 cup of everclear or vodka is a good amount. Should I remove the lemon peel before I pitch?
Yes, as long as it has been sitting in the vodka for a week or two, the vodka should now be infused with the lemon. You no longer need the peel.
What you are describing is basically a precursor to lemoncello. Do not use whole lemon peel, only the zest. Use a potato peeler. You only want the yellow surface part and none of the white. Lemon tincture: I'd put in the 10-12 lemon's worth of peels (make sure they are chopped up into roughly half in pieces) and put them in the mason jar. Put in just enough everclear to cover. Let sit for two weeks. Separate peel from everclear. You should get a very intensely concentrated flavor. Let sit for half an hour and then spoon off any lemon oil. This way you are not pouring a fifth of booze into your batch of beer but still getting the lemon peel flavor (which is different than a lemon juice flavor). Lemoncello: 10-12 lemon peels and a 750 ml bottle of everclear into a mason jar for 10-14 days. Separate lemon peels from everclear. Then add in 2 cups of sugar that has been made into simple syrup and an additional 750ml of water (total volume should be about 2 liters). Stick in freezer. Consume regularly but in moderation as it is delicious but potent. Variation - add a vanilla bean that has been split and scraped to the lemon peel extraction stage.

[Guide] THE Ezreal AP Guide
Ezreal, a Guide for AP support * Disclaimer * This is just a GUIDE to Ezreal, NOT the end-all be-all way to play him. Each game can vary greatly and you need to adjust your game to fit that niche to win. If you team needs something, Ezreal is flexible enough to fit that role (besides tank). Also, this guide will be constantly update depending on the meta, or if someone gives an awesome suggestion that I didn't think about. So, check back regularly to see if there is something new that may have changed for this hero. Introduction Ezreal, the latest addition to LoL's champion list, is one of those champions that takes some time to get used to. All his abilities are skill shots and require much practice to fully utilize all of his capabilities. He has a long range spammable nuke that does physical damage, a line AoE nuke that also acts as a team heal, a blink that does single target damage and a global AoE nuke. This guide will go over the AP build for this hero and give some arguments why AP is as or more beneficial over an AD build. Why AP and not AD? Although AD is a pretty good build for Ezreal and can dominate games, it focuses on only one of his abilities, his Q ability. AD does NOT scale with his 3 other abilities, thus not taking full advantage of the champion as a whole. His other 3 abilities have really good AP scaling (.6, .75, 1) and have relatively low cooldowns especially in conjunction with his Q ability. Also, with Lichbane, your Q ability also scales with AP (will discuss later in this guide). HOWEVER, if your team DOES NOT HAVE a decent phys dps carry, YOU NEED TO GO AD; NOT because it's better, but because you team NEEDS it. This guide will not cover the AD build and play style of AD Ezreal since Phreak pretty much made a decent guide for his AD build. Section 1: Champion Description -- Stats -- Health: 350 (+80 / per level) Mana: 235(+45 / per level) Move Speed: 300 Range: 550 Attack Damage: 44(+3 / per level) Magic Damage: 0 Armor: 9 (+3.5 / per level) Spell Block: 30 (+0 / per level) Crit Strike: 3 (+0.5 / per level) HP Regen: 1.1 (+0.11 / per level) MP Regen: 0.8 (+0.07 / per level) His stats are pretty decent, and at level 18, he gets about 100 (98 to be exact) base damage. Note that this is important since Tri-Force only adds BASE damage to your attack. So if you have 1 million attack damage stacked up, tri-force will only add 130 damage on you next attack. -- Abilities -- Passive: Rising Spell Force - Hitting a target with any of Ezreal's abilities increases his attack speed by 15% for 5 seconds (Max Stacks: 5). This passive is only decent if you plan to go AD build, but this is an AP build, so this passive is pretty much mute. "Q" Ability: Mystic Shot - Ezreal fires a bolt of energy dealing 40/60/80/100/120 plus 100% of his attack damage as physical damage (applies on-hit effects). Ezreal's cooldowns are reduced by 1 second if Mystic Shot hits a target. Stats: Cooldown: 6/5.5/5/4.5/4 seconds Cost: 30/35/40/45/50 Mana Range: Very Far Comments: For AP Ezreal, this is his early game harass and last-hitting tool. Mid-game, this is his "make my abilities have shorter cooldowns" ability, which does do decent damage with sheen. Late-game, this is his sustained dps with Lichbane. The "Sheen" Effect with Mystic Shot The way the "sheen" effect works with this ability is that it applies the bonus damage from the "sheen" effect to the hit. For example, if you have Lichbane, you apply an extra 100% of you AP in damage as well as the normal damage done from the spell. So in essence, you have a 1 to 1 to 1 AD and AP ratio for this spell. Note that if you miss with your Q ability, your next attack will still have the sheen effect on, even though it does not show up on the buff bar. "W" Ability: Essence Flux - Ezreal fires a wave of energy that heals all allied champions and damages all enemy champions it passes through for 75/125/175/225/275 (+0.6). Affected ally and enemy champions have their attack speed respectively hasted or slowed by 20/25/30/35/40% for 5 seconds. Also note that champions healed by this ability are only healed for 70% of the listed value. Stats: Cooldown: 10 seconds Cost: 80/90/100/110/120 Range: Very Far Comments: This is his bread an butter ability for the AP build. This spell can single-handedly win team fights by itself. Without any AP, at level 5, you heal for 192.5 and do 275 to your enemies. This is a 467.5 HP swing and a 80% dps swing. If you were to count the actual net AP ratio for this, it has a 1:1.02 AP ratio scaling for the HP gain and damage combined. Note that this ONLY HITS CHAMPIONS. This does NOTHING to creeps. Also, it does NOT heal yourself (tested if you could hit yourself if you flash in front of it after cast. It doesn't work). "E" Ability: Arcane Shift - Ezreal teleports to a target nearby location and fires a homing arrow at the nearest enemy unit dealing 80/130/180/230/280 (+0.75) magic damage. Stats: Cooldown: 17/15/13/11/9 seconds Cost: 100 Range: Flash range Comments: This ability is essentially a Flash, with a nuke that has a 17-9 second cooldown. You can't dodge spells with it though. This is great for additional positioning and burst, chasing, escaping and cleaning up team battles. "R"/Ult Ability: Trueshot Barrage - Ezreal channels for 1 second to fire a barrage of missiles dealing 350/500/650 (+1.0) magic damage to each unit it passes through. However, it deals 8% less damage for each unit it hits (Minimum 30%). Stats: Cooldown: 100 seconds Cost: 150/150/150 Range: Global Comments: This ult is a line, AoE nuke that gets weaker for each unit it hits. Thus you need to line up the shot for this very well and minimize hitting creeps. This is not like Ashe's ult that only hit champions. This ult also hits creeps and neutrals as well. Since this is global, you can help your team-mates from across the map and last hit some neutrals from your opponents i.e. dragon and nash. Section 2: Pre-game Prep This section will cover what you need to do before you actually start a game to play Ezreal such as what runes and masteries you need. -- Runes -- 3x HP quints 9x Magic Pen Marks 9x Dodge/MP regen Seals 9x AP per lvl/CD Redux Glyphs -- Summoner Abilities -- 1st Ability: Flash Always get this no matter what. This is such a great summoner spell that almost every champion can use this. Also, this makes it much easier to get into position to get your skill shots off as well as escape from death. An entire guide can be written on the uses of flash, but I will not cover all of its intricacies in this guide. 2nd Ability: Ignite/Clairvoyance/Clarity Here you have some options. Ignite is a great summoner ability especially with the nerf to executioner's calling and can give you 10 extra AP if you spec into it. Clairvoyance is pretty much legal map hacks and clarity is good if you really want to spam all your abilities and not be so mana drained after 1 team battle. Pick which ever one you feel suites your play style more. -- Masteries -- The 2 main builds for AP Ezreal are 9/0/21 or 10/0/20. Only use the 2nd one if you are using ignite. Section 3: Playing Ezreal This section will cover his skill builds, item builds and some tips and tricks to playing this champion. -- Skill Build -- Lvl 1: Q Lvl 2: E if you are soloing, W if you are sidelane From here on, you can branch out in multiple directions, but follow these guidelines when building your champion:
-- Item Build -- Starting Items: Solo-Mid: 1x Doran's BLADE, 1x HP/MP Pot Side-lane: 1x Meki/Doran's Ring, 1x HP Pot W8, why are you getting a D.Blade when we are building an AP Ezreal? The main reason is that D.Blade gives you HP, makes your Q hit harder and makes your Q lifesteal. However, in a sidelane, you are going to need some mana regen since you'll probably be spamming W on your ally. So, you should get a meki pendant or a Doran's Ring for a sidelane. Mid-Game Items: Core: Sheen, Boots, Cat Stone Conditional: Mejai's, Guinsoo's Rageblade The importance of the items for the core are in order from left to right. Sheen is your true bread and butter, regular boots give you some speed and Cat Stone gives you survivability and staying power. Also, all these items can be upgraded to your late-game items. Also, you need to determine if Mejai's are worth getting. If it's not worth getting, then just start working on your end game items; you'll probably be getting banshee's veil since if you are not getting mejai's, you are probably being focused on. However, you should get the rageblade definately if you are playing twisted treeline. I would actually forsake the cat stone to get the rageblade since it's that good on TT. The reason why rageblade is so good on him now is that his Q ability adds 2 stacks versus just the 1 IF it hits. This is because when you cast a spell, it triggers and when it hits, it counts as an auto-attack. So, you'll have 8 stacks on it pretty much all the time, making that item essentially giving you 90 AP for 2.2k gold. It's decent on SR, but i think Lichbane, RoA, Rylai's take precedence over this item. Late/End-Game Items: Core Build: Upgraded Boots, Lichbane, Banshee's/RoA Conditional Items: Deathfire Grasp, Mejai's, Void Staff, Sword of the Occult, Quicksilver Sash Cherry Items: Rylai's, Zhonya's You should have an upgraded boots (Mercs/Swiftness/Sorc) and at least 1 Core end-game item fairly quickly. Since you are building of a Cat Stone, you need to decide whether you need to get a Banshee's, or a RoA. I would say 70% of the time you're gonna get RoA, but there are times when you need that banshee's to not get screwed by spells. The conditional items are pretty straight forward. If they have tanky tanks, get Deathfire and Void. If you are pwning, get the snowball items. If they have a billion stuns, get quicksilver sash. The cherry items are just items for people that are filthy rich. However, an early rylai's can win games. Your 6 slots should be filled with your Core build, and 3 other items in either the Cherry or conditional items list. -- Playstyle -- There are 3 main parts to any game of LoL: The laning phase, Mid-game and Late-game. The Laning stage starts at the beginning and ends when either a lane tower goes down or people get high enough level to start roaming and fighting as a team. The Mid-game lasts until people start getting their end-game items. And the late-game stage starts after people get 1-2 late-game items and ends when the game ends. The Lane Phase The way you play in this mode varies greatly on whether you are solo-mid, partnered side-lane, or solo side-lane. Solo-mid As the solo-mid, you are essentially going to be the "leader" of the team. The reason is that the solo-mid will hit lvl 6 before anyone else and will have a distinct advantage over 4 of your enemies. In mid, you have several goals and responsibilities. You need to farm, mess up your opponents' solo, and gank the side-lanes. To do this, you are going to be harassing and last-hitting with your Q ability. Once you feel confident you can insta-gib someone, use your E to do a fat nuke in their face and spam Q on them. Thus, your 2 most important skills for solo-mid will be Q and E. Remember, you have an insane zone of control, so abuse it. If mid is doing fine (after probably first blood), run to a lane that looks like they may need help and is very gankable. If you can kill the enemies side-lanes just 1 or 2 times, that means that side tower will go down very soon. Partnered Side-lane Here, you are going to act more of a support character, like a soraka that can burst face. Your main goal is to NOT DIE. This is probably the most important part since dying in a side-lane can royally screw over that lane and cost you the game. Most likely, your partner will need lots of heals, so getting a high level in W will be very beneficial. However, don't spam it all the time due to the high mana cost, just use it when you have to. Solo side-lane is very similar to this, but you don't have that much of an emphasis on your W ability. Mid-game Mid-game is probably the most interesting part of the game. There are so many different strategies just on this subject that I will not cover the meta-game, but just your job as Ezreal. Here, your job is to sit in the back, heal with your W and take pot-shots with your Q ability. Remember, you should always be in the back lines and not up-close and personal to your opponents. If your team seems to be winning, then blink in with your E to do some nice burst, but only do that if the enemy team pretty much wasted all their scary spells. You pretty much play like pre-patch TF in team-battles, except you do way more AoE damage with your ult and can heal your team. Late-game Ezreal's late-game is very similar to how you play his mid-game, just with better items. Extra Game Play Tips and Comments -Probably the most important parts about Ezreal are positioning, positioning, and positioning. With perfect positioning, you never die, you have almost always guaranteed hits with your skill shots and can hold-off 5v1 situations at your tower. Positioning is so important since all his skills are skill-shots and he is very squishy. -He does have a built-in escape mechanic which can blink over walls. However, you need to be practically humping the wall go through it. Otherwise, you'll just blink just in front of the wall and probably die. Practice this so you can get used to it. -Remember to always cast your Q ability even when running away since it gives you a 1 second CD reduction on all your other spells, even your ult. -Your E ability only hits an enemy that is the closest to you after the blink. So, if you want to nuke a champion, try to blink right on top of them, or make sure that the champion is the closest thing to you when you blink in. -Golem is your friend. Just like Anivia, you want to have this buff more than half the time during your game. So, use wards and always control these jungle spawns. -Consumables are good. If you can afford it, brilliance elixir is amazing and fort isn't too bad (makes your Q hit harder and gives you more HP). Also, wards are very good and can win you games; trust me on this. It's pretty much legal map hacks. Hopefully you found this guide useful and have fun playing Ezreal!!! V1.01: Added in Character stats and ability descriptions V1.02: Added in comments to the abilities section V1.03: Modified and Clarified the Item builds V2.00: Finished up the guide with the addition of the Playstyle section. V2.01: Removed the Locket from Untested Build. It was tested, and it sucks. V2.02: Fixed some spelling/grammar errors and clarified some of the runes. Also did some formatting. V2.03: Added in Guinsoo's Rageblade to the build since Q adds 2 stacks instead of 1 IF it hits. V2.04: Modified ability and skill build sections and clarified the item build section. Also added a few more tips. |
I would still advise an offensive mastery tree build. I like the red post build I was playing around with the last few points trying to figure out what I like best but, even as support I think the Offensive mastery tree is the best.
I support AP Ez! I just wish he was better in team fights (AD Ez is far better in 5v5 premade as he isn't nearly as expensive)
Yeah, I'm not sure why you would go AD on Ezreal.
He has lots of short cooldown, decently-high AP ratio abilities. Sounds like an AP champ me. AD and his Q does good damage. At the expense of his 3 other skills. I'd rather have 3 good damage abilities than one, plus a Lichbane quickly rectifies that problem. Plus, it isn't like he is going to be standing around auto-attacking a lot. He is pretty darn squishy. Staying back and making use of his ridiculously long ranged skills makes him much more useful. I dunno, I'm sure AD is good, but who wants another right-click auto-attack champ? There are enough of those already. |
I thinkap is thw way to go because of lichbane, your burst will be great.
Also i think the majority goes ad because they saw the video of prehak (sry if its bad writen) and they think that he has the best notion of the game. I dont say goin ad is a bad idea but i think is much better going ap cause your entire skills (with lichbanes) scales with ap at really good ratios. And i think for ad is better to go with ashe (how many times i just autoatacked while enemy tryied to ran but ahahah slow ^^), but the thing is that she hasnt got that spamable flash, that says like "pick me pick me i can save you in nearly every single situation) sry for me english SAludos |
Oh wait, no, the other thing. Utility gives you Cooldown Reduction, mana regeneration, more frequent flashes/clarities, faster movespeed. Offense gives you ****. As for the main build, I'd still suggest taking more early Q. It's cheap, it reduces your cooldowns, and it still procs and uses sheen (which should be one of your earliest buys). |
ezrael is not high AP dependand
you will want to max out 40% CDR and spellpen (his ultimate already hits like a truck without ANY ap, spell penetration is the way to go) general item build: mana crystal sheen boots nashors tooth sorc boots lich bane next item depend completely on setup, this build goes with exhaust / flash - 9/0/21 mana regen is completely overrated on this champ - 9 * mana reg per level runes are quite enough + nashors |
Nashor's is only decent if you are going AD Ezreal and already have your core items (Tri-Force, Boots, Sword of the Occult). Also, Brutilizer is much better on him anyway than nashor's tooth (for AD build anyway). |
Hmm...I like the guide however I have just a couple points of criticism:
1) Your build is 2 high cost AP items that come to about 6k, not including boots or Mejai's, which brings that up to about 8k. Outside of the 160(?) AP on the both of those items combined you're relying heavily on that Mejai's to snowball, which as we all know doesn't happen all the time. I'd recommend throwing another decent chunk of AP in there in the form of a Void Staff or other slightly lower priced AP item so that you're not floundering mid game with close to nothing if the game goes sour. 2) The majority of your damage being done in a team fight comes in bursts before your Lich Bane, which unless you're fed won't come right away. Until then your Q's damage is **** and you have no semblance of sustained DPS; you Flux, Shift, Barrage, and you're done until you get them back up with Q. Not only that but even then your Arcane Shift isn't guaranteed to hit the focused target and could end up putting you in even more danger, leaving you with just Flux and Barrage. 3) You're squishy until Rylai's, which even then requires a hefty investment of a Giant's Belt. 4) No mana regen whatsoever. Unless your team and the opponent are giving you golem all the time there's no way you can sustain spamming spells with this build; I'd recommend an early Chalice and that generally fixes most problems AND gives you a nice bit of magic resist. Other than that it's a decent guide; I'd simply stay away from recommending 2 or 3 top-tier AP items and focus more on a build that works well when you're not so fed. I haven't played AP Ezreal but off the top of my head I'd recommend something like this: Meki Pendant -> Chalice of Harmony Boots -> Merc Treads or Sorc Boots (depending on Team Comp) Sheen Mejai's (if you're being fed and not dying) Void Staff or Guinsoo's Rageblade (depending on whether you want to stay pure AP or go a Hybrid build) Finish Lich Bane, work on any defensive items you may need (Banshee's, RoA, etc.) Again, I have not played AP Ezreal so my build could be absolute garbage. However it still should get the point across that rushing high ticket items particularly on a mage with lower AP ratios and skillshots generally won't end so well. |

State democrats have released what they hope will be the basis of a long-term strategic plan to foster jobs growth in Connecticut. The report is the outcome of a series of roundtables held by the democratic leadership over several months. WNPR's Harriet Jones reports.
Most long-term trend reports show Connecticut failing to create new jobs faster than its losing employment in older industries. Many economists fear that this points to a bleak future for the state unless some basic structural weaknesses are addressed. Now this democratic working group is recommending that the state focus on innovation and entrepreneurship by providing key tax credits and reinvesting in the idea of industry cluster. It also wants to see more investment in infrastructure and a clearer focus on science, engineering and math education. The jobs roundtables were the brainchild of House Majority leader Denise Merrill.
"Our effort was really to take people who know about these areas – to talk to some small manufacturers, to talk to some academics and other folks about what actually should be the priorities, because the harder part is to come down to brass tacks, and really come up with a set of priorities. What do we do now, what do five years from now, what do we do ten years from now. We tried to set parameters."
Democrats now say they'll aim to fold their ideas into a series of bills to be introduced in the upcoming session.
