... It's a photograph.
Thanks so much for this! :)
Could at least be paintings on the wall... And perhaps some other minor details. Right now that room looks pretty lacking.
Open-source remake of the construction kit for Morrowind I'm assuming.
These are in-development shots taken on my laptop with the game running in windowed mode so that I can monitor any debugging information on my other monitor (I have a dual monitor set up).
When the map and game is closer to being complete then you can certainly expect to see higher-resolution screenshots but for now I've opted to share new shots with you guys whenever something new pops up just so that we're throwing media out at a more regular basis, rather than throwing out one new screenshot every few months.
Can't really see any visual difference between your CPU lighting and CPU+GPU lighting.
They're not finished yet.
Not sure how this is relevant to QuakeC...
Personally I didn't take it but I thought it was worthy to upload since I felt that it being a photograph made it a little more... Mysterious?
If it's a big issue then I'll upload a better image later if I can but I can't promise anything since it's still being worked on.
**** da police.
Well the way you pointed out the gravity gun in the description made it seem like it was the final thing. If it's not then I recommend you change it so it's less misleading ;)
I hope most of the content in this video is temporary because I've noticed there are quite a lot of textures from Half-Life and the gravity gun looks like it was taken directly from Half-Life 2...
Great work! Will be sure to check this out ;)
Some actual in-game shots would be nice...
I love you just for simply spending your time making a map for Prey. Thanks!
I agree about changing the skybox to something a little higher quality. Compared to the level itself which looks incredible it just seems to stick out like a horrid smudge.
Oh wow fantastic lighting! Great job :)
Yes... I have to say really it does actually make a considerable difference and means that we don't have to done some weird tricks to make screenshots look nice and smooth, and another plus was that it was incredibly easy to implement. Right now the implementation is a bit more solid than it was when I originally took this image (it was pretty much just wedged in) but after some testing I'm somewhat concerned that there may be some issues on certain platforms (MSAA appears to fail on my laptop), though there are fallbacks in place now if this fails but if it does then there isn't much I can do other than suggest to try it on a more up-to-date platform. Perhaps when I have more time on my hands I'll look into a better way to implement support for MSAA but honestly I'm not an expert. It'd be helpful when I'm done setting up the new renderer I'm working on but until then...
Kids these days...
Looks great, this really deserves more attention!
Mind is blown...
Well I was just making a suggestion.
You assume? Perhaps if you have a blog post related to this image it might be useful to link to it in the description ;)
Perhaps try making the ground raise up against the ship a little more so it looks more like the sand has piled up around it overtime. Also I'm not sure if the player would see from this angle or not but the ground texture on the right is really repetitive. Other than that great work!
Brilliant :D
All seems a little too focused on that empty platform. I assume you'll put something there?
Just incredible. Fantastic work!
The flare gun is such a satisfying weapon :D
Could use a little more detail but other than that it looks promising.
Could use more work but great start :)
It's more like a docking area for cargo. Here's what the scene looks like normally...
Wrong again, our engine is based on the FitzQuake engine.
The thumb looks a little weird to me, but it's probably just the angle.
We're not using the Source engine.
Nothing wrong with creating content for such an old engine as surprisingly the limitations you'll find yourself working around will end up teaching you a lot. Working around such limitations can often teach you some great methods in regards to optimisations and various tricks.
Great use of lighting :)
Well I fourth this... So there.
North Koreeeaa~ ... Oh wait that's China, oopsy.
Tracking ;)
This is more of a mod than an engine to be quite honest.
He didn't make them.
Nice thanks for uploading! :)
Really amazing work! Keep it up ;D
Nah since I've sort of lost interest in such a project and I'm working on other stuff now anyway.
Looks pretty bad... But good start :)
So cute ^3^
He's gonna eat u.
Also ignore the textures and lighting... Ugh **** makes me want to vomit.
Amazing :O
Perhaps you should have made your comment somewhat clearer then :)
Rage harder bro, I'm sure that'll earn you lots of friends :)
Nice observation captain obvious, I'm sure nobody else would have noticed any of those.
The **** did you expect?
Why does this remind me of Dead Space?
Because the story is seriously flawed, the overall design has no consistency, the dialog is plain horrible and at times just horribly cheesy, the animations are horrific, the level design is plain and just honestly ******* horrible with no clear paths and no unique "points" which a player can recognise as reference, the AI is almost non-existant with enemies just shooting and chasing after you with no consideration for anything else and lastly the multi-player is terribly unoriginal... This is perhaps one of the worst piles of **** I've ever had the misfourtune to pay & play.
This is an alpha build of Gears of War from 2004 :)
He looked fitter back then...
Hopefully if the final components arrive today I'll upload a video of its first run ;D
I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.
Horrific game.
What's this got to do with TF2?
Why are you using the 1700's version of the British flag!?
Lol indeed.
Jolly good show ol' chaps!
If this takes place during WWII then why are you using the older British flag?
I wish.
I'm somewhat curious as to why it was allowed to go onto the main page...
Looks alright but I think it could be better.
I was referring to the fact that they're adding the Air Exchange (AirEx).
How original (sarcasm)
He wishes...
So this is what happened after episode two... now everything makes sense!
When did you visit Iraq?
*takes off sunglasses* **** just got real.
Looking good! :D
OpenKatana is a remake of Daikatana when it was using the Quake engine back in '97.
Anyone willing to make some textures for the decoration models? Romero didn't release the textures for any of the decoration models (although I'm pretty sure they exist on his computer somewhere).
Looks almost like Quake 2 LOL
Thanks! Still got quite a bit to do still though.
Looking good.
Obviously neither of you understood I was joking.
Sweet! Can't wait to see more of the Dreamcast port :3
The ground looks too sharp.
I'm pretty sure this article is from 1997.
The textures in this are pink too :)
It's just how the lighting is that makes them appear red.
Well up until you send him into a battle, I'm sure we'll be seeing him running in the opposite direction before it's even started.
Hey guy in the white outfit!! LOOK OUT!!!! HE'S BEHIND YOU!!!!!!! oh well...
Yes! In fact they say that when you hit them with the crowbar. It's their only defence.
Nothing like a wall of Gabe's faces.
Lighting seems a bit off on the models doesn't it? I'll have to check that out.
He'll rape you in your sleep.
LOL! To be honest though it's like watching a disaster when seeing the map in motion.
Looking great! I have to say I really like the style.
Good to hear! I enjoyed the closed beta and look forward to what you have to release in the future.
Thanks for uploading.
I'm sure the adventure core would agree with you!
This song is most likely not going to used when the mod is finished, it's mainly created so I can get an idea of what sort of "style" of music would be best for the mod. There are actually a huge number of songs like it that I have made (the mods been in development for almost two years now) which I'm probably going to release together when the mod is just about finished or if it really does dies.
I recently also uploaded a few songs that were made for the mod back in 2009 so I recommend you check those out.
I'd love to hear someone else's opinion for a change though :(
They don't look like the Germans I know...
Yeah the piano doesn't fit too well so I might change it if I can do something better.
No, it's ported from the Half-Life 2 leak from 2003.
They all die of nosebleeds...
Why bash the combine with a crowbar... WHEN YOU CAN WATCH THEM WITH BINOCULARS!! *lifts them up and they sparkle*
Well it's more like a suspended road.
I see.
To view it with a white background either look at the thumbnail or use this link: Media.moddb.com
Got this game recently, quite an interesting story and the cinematic sequences are brilliant!
Righto, I'll leave the code and everything to you then.
This was made by Dhel btw!
Yeah sounds worse. Sorry :'C
Lol and those are only tiny bits x'D
Well that's his fault for running into my room while I was naked!
Looks like a model to me...
Everyone "working".
It's a Valve in Valve! x'D
LuLz at John Romero :P
No it's for Source.
Sums up my life yeah.
I really doubt that you're 19.
The computer has been completely redone to fit with new ideas for the mod.
As for the texture on the sheet we'll be replacing that soon with our own.
"The original barney mesh" If you bothered to read the description.
Aren't they incredible!
^-^ Ain't it just.
If you could read it then it would spoil the story.
IMO sounds too much like the last three songs... but I want something like this for the first level when the player wakes up.
Perhaps it could have a lighter mood.
I will.
I can't show finished stuff when non of it is finished!
HPL1 is now open-source.
URU: Ages Beyond Myst - (Unknown) Song #1 - Youtube.com
It's a remake of an early Daikatana map.
Nice detail on the ceiling. Might be a good idea to use some more models though.
Why have you got 125 health?
Song #2 isn't finished yet ;)
Yeah also I forgot to mention. ignore the buildings at the back, I'm planning on redoing those ;)
Could use a little more... stuff...
There is no OICW in the picture.
Anyway this is a possible background for ProjectTerminal's main menu.
Yeah the underside of the arms don't have much depth.
I blew my head off in response...
Mother of god... AMAZING
Yup. I should have all the props and detail added to the room before the next few screens ;)
Hah I didn't do much. I just fixed it, so credits should go to Valve ;)
Lol maybe I will leave it in as an easter egg somewhere just for you ;D
Yup, nothing beats the original.
Today 23/6/2010 I am happy to say this map is now finished.
Wow looks amazing! Quite a huge difference.
Hah not done yet ;D
"Who's that Pokemon?"
Indeed. Quite a foolish move by Valve really as the beta is nothing like the final game.
******* hell!
Fixed it now! Thanks :)
Barney exploding in a cloud of smoke because he farted...
Once I can get someone to fill the gaps I would say from 10 to 90.
Indeed. I will show full images once the map is at a sexier state.
1. I'm not a furry you dumb ****. Does my ******* avatar look like a furry to you!?
2. I didn't have a nervous breakdown. Your the one who began messaging me that you were crying after you decided to block me.
3. At least I have left school, got a job and have the GCSE's I wanted and on the plus side I can have sex.
You seem to live in your own little world.
I was screwing with you. Internet relationships are only what stupid 14 year old fur **** like you do.
You are a seriously ****** up person! When you got ****** off because you decided to end your mod you sent the most retarded message I have ever seen to Digitalysane, I mean wtf!
So tell me why you ended your mod... BECAUSE YOU HAD NO ******* REASON YOU DUMB **** XD
You just cried and ran because your mum didn't like you playing with older people.
I never said you had any feelings for me. But if you insist.
I mean I am devishly handsome and all...
Josh is overreacting and your giving me a headache.
If you can't make a map like this from scratch then you need to learn how.
Yeah, I would think Gordon would be ******* tired by the time he reached the place.
But then how did Valve know what to have Francis say... oh wait unless... Valve is spying on us D:
*crosses his fingers*
Looks very detailed.
This comment has been posted in a private group.
Chinese? lol :P
Interesting, is it possible for you to upload the software you used to decompile this map originally or was it made from scratch... although I doubt that.
Interesting, how did you get your hands on this glorious model?
lol made me laugh XD
I can understand what you are saying, but there are (to my knowledge) only two Leak mods that have ever been released.
******* sweet
There's nothing better...
Nothing at all... just nothing at all...
I wouldn't really say this is a big mod.
It's just something I'm doing in my free time.
Glad to know you're not blind then.
Guess you don't understand what the ******* point of this mod is.
"it was cancelled thanks to haruhi/hogsy/leo what ever he's name is.." - JoshZemlinsky
That would make a fine cup... :O
10 20 30 40 etc
Doing 11 12 13 etc would take too long.
Your wrong. It's a 'restored' version of e3_street.
Everything is still there in the final Episode 2, it just "grew up" as they worked on it.
Ah this seems like a superb place for a spot of tea!
Y'know I'm going to be finishing my exams over the next two weeks. When I'm done then I would happily help you again.
You should worry about getting the project finished first before worrying about what platforms you're porting it to.
It would be a good idea to organise everything as if you were about to release it. For OpenKatana we have the source-code, mapping tools and documentation all organised into an SDK folder (the SDK folder reflects the game folder in its structure but of course contains the raw junk) which is submitted to our SVN repository within the games folder so that if anyone wants anything from there we don't need to clean it up and so it can be easily released with the project without modification.
This is assuming you guys are using a SVN repository for Left4Quake anyway...
Yup! The gun (or "head") is seperate from the base and rotates relative to its target position :)
I'd appreciate it if you'd upload the source-code, though considering it's based on the Wolfenstein 3D engine I'd have thought it had to be readily available anyway considering the code was released under GPL license.
I'd hardly call it the Quake engine anymore ;)
That model looks great, nice work :P
What the hell is going on with the sky though?
Nice work! Really deserves more attention :D
This does not use the ******* Quake engine.
Bring back the empire I say!
Really brings the environment to life, great work!
When we're ready to show something we will.
So I'm not allowed to have an opinion?
I dislike beer :c
Like said above I believe there's still a lot of room for improvement and some key issues still haven't really been addressed.
I said it needs more work which I'd have thought would suggest _everything_.
You should totally contact Bethesda/id Software about this ;D
It doesn't matter if it's work in progress or not, it's still being shown and imo it still needs more work. Why is that such a ******* issue?
I'm making a suggestion. If I did it myself then what would be the point in giving criticism?
That doesn't mean more effort could be put into it. Honestly this looks appalling.
Needs way more work I think.
The colours used here make little sense... They may as well run around holding a flag with the text "shoot me!"
It's a good start but using colours such as blue (or pink) do not work well with the environment the game takes place in.
Really deserves more attention then it gets.
Then it eats you.
Pillars could look a little better but other than that looks great ;)
Looks fantastic, nice work :)
I think his focus should be on making sure everything works how it should first before starting to add improvements.
Yeah her butt is a bit too prominent I think.
Wo- ur... That's a fairly ancient monitor by the looks of it :)
Then simply bring it down a little. Honestly sharpening up textures isn't going to make them look any better and will simply make the texture look like a horrible mess which is demonstrated quite well by this shot, especially as there are detail textures already being used for those surfaces... As RayGean put it, it's an eye sore to look at.
Well they are now.
Not as embarrassing as this photo I have of you in the nude.
If someone has a problem with a bottom then they shouldn't even be here.
Stereo :(
I actually don't mind it too much, the new start menu will apparently be optional in the final release and I've found quite a few applications that had problems with Windows 7 (mostly 64bit release) seem to work fine in Windows 8. The start button does look pretty damn ugly though but this is really early on in development so I'm sure a lot will change before the final release.
Cute girls are cute! :3
Shame really.
Looks great!
I've seen plenty of girls like that in the UK :3
Unless it's a big sequel then I suggest most people should stick to the same engine as then they can easily continue working with what they had before thus saving themselves a lot of time.
If they're stand-alone then they could very easily be installed and run using Desura (like any other game that's avaliable on Desura). In fact I don't see any reason why not to be quite honest.
I thought most of these 'mods' were now standalone games.
This really deserves more attention.
Really nice.
Are you sure he's not the one about to make the small payback? *ziiip*
Really unique idea!
Amazing work, can't wait to see more!
Probably Gabe's idea.
"A very small audio pack I made" you should say where the music is from and who made the songs, else it sounds like you made it from reading that.
I decided to try this game for myself and I don't think it's as bad as everyone seems to make it out to be. If you can get it cheap then it's worth playing in my opinion.
LOL just watched the actual e3 video and I've realised I've still got a few more things to sort out.
It's obvious they put a lot of effort into the tools for CryEngine 3.
Look out! he's coming up there to assassinate you!!
Great to see people still making mods for Quake!
This looks like ****.
Looks huge...
I voted you up, cause you voted him up.
He's working on Half-Life 4. (It's mindblowing)
I remember playing it when it first was released back in the day :)
The changes they made totally ruin it.
One of my most favourite games :D
Ew... What the hell is that!?
Wow nice concept! I really like it :D
In-game cinema! :P
She probably secretely plays Doom all day when she isn't busy :P
Yes I can!
Looks like a big *** gravity gun to me lol.
Yeah... we still have loads to add T_T
These are only the details on the very start.
And I've said that I can't.
Because it's my desktop. Most of the current textures we have are placeholders.
Unreal 2 - (2000) Song #1 - Youtube.com
Why did you have to take the music from the video when the song is already in the game?
I agree with T-braze. So far Missing Information seems to be the only mod that actually has some major effort being put in as they are not only fixing the maps but also completely rethinking them. I hope as development continues on this mod they too follow what Missing Information is doing but in their own way.
Are people not allowed to be original?
I didn't use photoshop ;)
The consul should be turned around so he's facing away from the Citadel... that would just look amazing :D
*grabs your head* wham...
Oh look a screenshot! wow...
Simply stunning.
Nice use of lighting.
That's what ShamWoW REALLY is...
Yeah I agree. I haven't touched the hole that much (only added another layer on the other side and added some broken bits of wood poking about), but when I get the time I will redo it. The main reason I want to show these is just to get an idea about what people like and dislike about what Valve had left them like at the time and making the right adjustments according to peoples responses.
correction 5 words... if you include your last few :P
Not really...

PHILADELPHIA –- An international team of environmental scientists led by the University of Pennsylvania has shown that sea-level rise along the Atlantic Coast of the United States was 2 millimeters faster in the 20th century than at any time in the past 4,000 years.
PHILADELPHIA –- Environmental scientists at the University of Pennsylvania and Durham University have employed a novel combination of geological and model reconstructions of wetland environments during a 10,000-year period to address spatial variations in sea-level history and provide quantitative estimates of subsidence along the east coast of England.
PHILADELPHIA -- Joshua Plotkin, a biologist in the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, has been awarded an $875,000 Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering.
Plotkin was one of 16 researchers chosen from 99 nominees from 50 universities. His research involves mapping genetic information in nature through the use of mathematical formulas.
PHILADELPHIA –- Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a theoretical model that informs the understanding of evolution and determines how quickly an organism will evolve using a catalogue of "evolutionary speed limits." The model provides quantitative predictions for the speed of evolution on various "fitness landscapes," the dynamic and varied conditions under which bacteria, viruses and even humans adapt.
PHILADELPHIA –- An international team of environmental scientists led by the University of Pennsylvania has shown that sea-level rise, at least in North Carolina, is accelerating. Researchers found 20th-century sea-level rise to be three times higher than the rate of sea-level rise during the last 500 years. In addition, this jump appears to occur between 1879 and 1915, a time of industrial change that may provide a direct link to human-induced climate change.
The results appear in the current issue of the journal Geology.
PHILADELPHIA –- A research collaboration led by biologists and neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania has found a molecular pathway in the brain that is the cause of cognitive impairment due to sleep deprivation. Just as important, the team believes that the cognitive deficits caused by sleep deprivation, such as an inability to focus, learn or memorize, may be reversible by reducing the concentration of a specific enzyme that builds up in the hippocampus of the brain.

If staying at a Ritz Carlton-like property is what you have in mind, look no further. Our family of five just returned from a fabulous week at La Libelula. The house is absolutely gorgeous and the outdoor living space is UNBEATABLE. We spent hours swimming, watching birds (loved the toucans!), lounging and listening to the wildlife around us. The noise the howler monkeys make is unmistakable - we heard them daily at dawn and dusk. On four separate occasions we saw monkeys swinging through the trees on the property. What a treat!
The caretakers, Licho and Darlene, live in a separate home adjacent to the property and are top-notch. They kept the property tidy and politely ensure you have everything you need while at the same time respecting your privacy. It was a comfort knowing they were there.
Our favorite activity was white water rafting - ask for Andy! We also highly recommend Darlene's cooking and the restaurant Por Que No - both offer delicious food with a view!
Bottom line: not a negative thing to say about this property. We have rented several homes on VRBO and have stayed in many fantastic resorts around the globe, and La Libelula tops our list of favorites.
We just finished our family vacation at La Libelula (Spanish for dragonfly) and we had an amazing time! There were 8 of us and the house has so much space and so many areas to relax that we did not feel like we were tight by any means. We had 3 different groups arrive at different times because of flight delays, and the on site "security" (Licho) was great! The last group arrived at 2:30am and he got up to let them in.
The home is at the top of a steep dirt road down to town, and the owner recommends rental vehicle but we went without for the 8 days and it worked out great. Licho can call you a taxi if you need to get around, or some of the local tours will send someone to pick you up at no charge. I would definitely not recommend driving there from the airport at night, definitely get a ride! We used Solid Rental Cars which is a great company and were on the ball and very accommodating with the changes in pick up times because of our flight delays. Transfer cost was $250/bus load. Unfortunately for us, we had to do 3 different pick ups because of the flight changes, so our cost jumped to $750 (3 different transfers), but all in all, they knew where they were going which was a bonus, they do transfers to this location all the time so arriving at night was not a problem.
We also had Darlene cook us dinner 2 of the nights...all I can say is amazing!! The food was spectacular and much better than anything you can get in a restaurant. All of the other nights we cooked for ourselves and the kitchen has everything you need. We also used the BBQ outside and all went well.
We were there during Cicada season and the noise they make is incredible! They make a ton of noise during the day, starting at about 7:15am and are constant until 6:30pm when the sun goes down. The first day hanging out at the pool we could hardly hear each other talk, but by the last day we were used to the noise. They are huge bugs but are more annoying than dangerous as they don't bite.
We saw Tucans, Macaw birds, lots of local smaller birds. We heard the howler monkeys at night all around the home but didn't see any during our stay at the house (we did see some during a tour).
Each of the rooms is very well appointed with ensuites, comfortable beds, great lanais for morning coffee. With about 10 various sitting areas, there are many spots to relax both in and out of the sun.
I would definitely recommend this place for a family looking for a getaway
My family and I spent one exceptional week at Libelula. Our group ranged from age 76 to 3 years-old (5 adults and 2 young children), everyone enjoyed it! The house is spacious, the bedrooms comfortably large, and the pool perfect. There are 3 sitting areas nicely arranged outside so the rain did not ruin our stay at all (we had a few showers). The view is nice and we saw more birds at the house than at the reserve. Falcons, hummingbirds, parrots, toucans, pecho amarillo would come to visit every day. Licho and Darlene are most generous, dedicated and made our stay truly wonderful. Darlene is such a good chef, we never cooked!
I strongly recommend La Libelula for anyone wanting to experience la Pura Vida in Uvita!
There are not enough words to describe our amazing family vacation to beautiful Costa Rica and our stay at the incredibly luxurious La Libelula house. Neil was very helpful in his recommendations from car rental to excursions and directions. Our family of 8 are the adventurous type and Steve helped set up excursions for us which included horse back rides to waterfalls, white water rafting and ATV tours through the jungle. The on-sight staff of Lliche and Darlene took very good care of the grounds and pool plus cooked authentic CR meals for our family which were delicious. I highly recommended this vacation home to others.
I searched quite extensively online for the perfect house to celebrate our daughter's 30th birthday. It turned out to be the trip of a lifetime. Our family consisted of 6 adults and 2 children. The house provided everything we needed and had hoped for in a vacation home. The house was amazing inside and out. The decor was tasteful and the views were breathtaking. We were able to see monkeys, toucans and hummingbirds right from the pool deck. The kids loved the pool and would have stayed there the entire time if given the choice. The local beaches were great. The location is perfectly centrally located to experience the best the area has to offer. Steve was very helpful throughout the process. He booked our tours, which were incredible, answered all our questions and gave us great advise on the area. Liche and Darlene were so sweet. Darlene kept the house fresh and tidy, cooked us a delicious traditional Costa Rican meal and always had a smile. Liche took us to see the waterfall on the property, kept the outside spick and span, and cut open coconuts for us to try. They are a great addition to the house. There is so much to do in this region for the adventurous and the property is the perfect compliment as the relaxing, beautiful place to stay. I highly recommend La Libelula and would love to return some day.
Our group consisted of three couples in the 55+ age group. We had a wonderful vacation in a beautiful setting and a fantastic home including the outside pool, kitchen/bbq, landscaping and social areas. Darlene and Licho were great and kept the property spotless during our stay. Neil is a terrific manager and was on top of everything. This place is everything you could want and more. We want to return!
September & October are the best months to see the huge humpback whales off the coast of Uvita. These whales migrate from thousands of miles away and come each year to the beautiful coastline of Costa Rica to mate and to give birth to their off spring. These huge gentle giants of the Ocean can be seen normally in groups or a mother with her off spring and they are apparently unconcerned being accompanied by the whale watchers boat. They can give spectacular shows of swimming agility by breaching, fin and tail slapping, lop tailing or simply blowing great plumes of air and water when then exhale up to 40 meter of height.

Need suggestions for non spreading full sun border
Need suggestions for tropical type plants that can withstand full sun to place around our lanai. Zone 9, Florida. Prefer plants that won't spread wide, and not too tall as we don't want to entirely block out the view.
I had placed heather, but it reached maturity and is now mostly bare & looks ugly. Low maintaince would be a plus since we are p/t residents. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Tee hee. Nearly everything I plant self seeds and spreads itself like mad! You don't say if you want annual or perennial plants. In my experience perennials are much less likely to self seed than annuals. Here are one or two that I have that are relatively well-behaved.
1. Madagascar periwinkle - Catharanthus roseus. Comes in a variety of colors apart from roseus.
2. Zinnia - Zinnia elegans ( not Z.haageanus as this self seeds). Wide range of colors. This is an annual.
3. Venus slipper - Calceolaria hybrids.
4. Antirrhinum - Antirrhinum majus and hybrids. Will self seed but easily controlable. Biennial.
5.Four o'clock flower - Mirabilis jalapa. This goes under a variety of names, but as the one I have given suggests it doesn't open till late , so needs a W facing position. Perennial.
6. Salvia ( Sage) - many different species, incl. the culinary one, though this is not so showy.
7. Lavender - Lavandula - many diff. species,flowers not so showy, but good for toning down the more violent colors and of course the scent.
8. Dahlia. It's a good idea to lift the tubers occasionally and enrich the soil.
9. Bulbine fruticosa. S African bulb. Forms neat clumps, not invasive. Orange and lemon.
- Coneflower (Echinacea purpurata) and Rudbeckia, both USA natives. Taller plants good for the back of the border.
Hope you have fun growing some of these.

The Ethics of Publishing "I Am Adam Lanza's Mother"
By Kim Pearson on December 17, 2012
BlogHer Original Post
If you have access to US social media, you've probably seen the blog post, "Thinking the Unthinkable," at least once since last Friday's horrific massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Its author, Anarchist Soccer Mom (hereinafter referred to as "ASM"), shares harrowing episodes of life with her gifted but mentally ill 13-year-old son, and her frustrations with a failing mental health system. She writes that her son has threatened to kill himself and her. She says he pulled a knife on her because she told him to change his pants. Doctors, police, school officials -- no one has a good explanation for why it's happening, or how to fix it:
"When I asked my son's social worker about my options, he said that the only thing I could do was to get Michael charged with a crime. 'If he's back in the system, they'll create a paper trail,' he said. 'That's the only way you're ever going to get anything done. No one will pay attention to you unless you've got charges.'"
Sound familiar? No? Perhaps you know it better by its viral headline, "I am Adam Lanza's Mother." That's the way it got picked up first by the Blue Review, and then Gawker, Huffington Post, the Washington Post, and others. The headline is a direct quote from the essay.
And that's where my questions began.
Because while ASM has raised important issues facing her family and many others, she also identified her child as a potential future mass murderer. She changed his name, but it's not hard for people who know her to figure out who she's talking about. Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg is among those who've called her out on this:
"I can understand the exhaustion and the helplessness that his mother feels; I can even understand harboring fear for the future in her own heart. Fear is fear; it can't be argued with. But if you're going to write about something so personal, so wrenching, so frightening, so painful that involves your minor child, common sense dictates that you use pseudonyms -- not just for the child, but for yourself and for everyone else concerned. And for the love of God, you do not use a photo."
ASM didn't realize that her cri de coeur would be so widely disseminated. She said as much in a joint statement released today with Sarah Kendzior, one of the bloggers who had criticized her over the weekend:
"We would like to release a public statement on the need for a respectful national conversation on mental health. Whatever disagreements we have had, we both believe that the stigma attached to mental illness needs to end. We need to provide affordable, quality mental health care for families. We need to provide support for families who have a relative who is struggling.
"We both agree that privacy for family members, especially children, is important. Neither of us anticipated the viral response to our posts. We love our children and hope you will respect their privacy."
Wanting to understand the decision-making process behind publishing the essay under the author's name and with a photo and the more sensational headline, I contacted Nathaniel Hoffman, editor of The Blue Review, a three-month-old journal of "popular scholarship in the public interest."
In a telephone interview, Hoffman told me that he plucked the title from the essay because, "I just thought it was a really powerful line." When I asked whether he was worried that the title, and the paragraph it came from, seemed to label ASM's son as a potential mass murderer, he responded, "That's what the headline says, but if you read the article, she's raising a lot of questions, too."
Hoffman went on to say that he felt that they had taken adequate steps to protect the privacy of ASM's son, noting, "We didn't identify the child. The picture doesn't look like him any more." All of the editorial decisions were made in collaboration with the author, he added.
At the same time, he said, the essay opens up an important but long-ignored aspect of the national conversation about these kinds of violent incidents:
"I think [the essay is] a valuable contribution. It's first-person, not an anonymous source talking to a newspaper." It helps us, he added, "To have empathy for even the killer and even the murderers' family."
Indeed, Time magazine's Susanna Schrobsdorf agrees:
"Parents of mentally ill children and young adults can't say they are afraid of their own children or admit that they know what it's like to have bright children whose rages could, under circumstances they can't predict, lead them to kill innocent people the way Adam Lanza is alleged to have done at Sandy Hook Elementary."
Hoffman said he knows ASM and her family and has been aware of their struggles for some time. "I worry abour her son a lot," he said. ASM has been contending openly with these issues for a long time, often writing about them on her blog. "It's not like this came out of the blue," he added. He used the author's name because, as a former newspaperman, "I'm a big advocate of transparency and putting your name on stuff. I understand privacy, but I believe in social and public commentary."
ASM appeared, unnamed, on the TODAY show this morning, reading parts of her essay. A discussion followed about the difficulties parents face in getting help for mentally ill children. Hoffman says that's exactly what he and ASM hoped. "I'd like to see this continue to be discussed. I think it should be something that our country takes seriously, a discussion on mental health and whatever public policy elements we need."
I second their hopes. I just wonder whether, with a bit of editing, the point could have been made and this child's privacy could have been more protected.

Looking for a perfect cream color for cabinets and trim
I already asked the decorating forum but it seems that this time of the year most people there are decorating for the holidays and not painting so I am trying here also.
We are using very light colors on the walls, BM Gentle Cream and half of the F&B cooking apple, but I want the kitchen to be cream with a glaze, furniture-like. The kitchen is in the middle of the house and will have a big impact on the overall look so I want it to blend in rather than stand out.
Any favorite BM or SW colors that definitely read as "cream" but still coordinate with light walls?
I have some pictures of the wall colors we have in this post:
I recently was on a house tour and saw a wonderful color they used on all the cabinetry and trim. It was called "Cream in My Coffee" [satin] from Lowes. They used the same color on the walls in flat. It looked very classy with the darker stained concrete floors, dark accent colors and brushed chrome fixtures. Actually there were two houses done by the same builder. The first house had a brushed chrome backsplash. The second had a natural stone backsplash. Both had stainless appliances.
Are you hoping to go lighter or darker than your walls with the trim? I'm using BM "Marscapone" as my trim--on the whiter side of cream, but definitely cream. It's a really yummy color, creamy enough to look rich, but still light enough to give contrast against my very pale yellow/white halls and silver gray dining room. F&B's "Pointing" is a great rich trim color on the darker side of cream. Good luck, it sounds beautiful--love the idea of going half strenght on the F&B Baking Apple color!
I am currently considering SW "Alabaster" for our kitchen cabinet re-do. I have been looking for a warm white, since the rest of my interior trim is bright white, and i do not want to have to re-paint all the trim.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions so far. But let me try to explain my real issue. We'll have painted kitchen cabinets (going into the "green" room) and also two painted corner cabinets in the dining room with the "gentle cream" walls (you can see the marks from the old corner cabinets on the picture, the new cabinets are going into the same place).
The two rooms are connecting and there are only a few feet from the right dining cabinet to the kitchen cabinets.
The trim runs non-stop throughout the house.
I know it would look beautiful if we used the same color for all cabinets and for the trim. In that case it would be a very light color.
But we are a busy family with a teen and a pre-teen in the house and some of us don't always clean things up right away in the kitchen :) So for practical reasons, I want creamy cabinets with a light glaze.
But what do I do about the dining room cabinets and the trim? Should the the dining cabinets be the same color and with the same glazing as the kitchen? Or should they match the trim since they are hugging the window so tightly?
and, should the trim color be close to the kitchen base color or close to what it will look like with the glaze on?
If the trim is lighter, will it make glazed cabinets look dirty?

Child's Birthday
Each year, your child's birthday gives you a headache and every year your child has amazing children's party. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ensure a successful and original celebration. The child is older and every year it must also be age appropriate. This article gives tips on how to successfully organize the party and what kind of factors to consider.
Young children
Young children are easily satisfied. By young children, we talk about youth up to six years old. Therefore, you can keep it simple. For example, consider a self quest marked with cake bites afterwards. A home environment is often just as well as a visit to some wild play area. You could eat pancakes for dinner and afterwards provides all children with a treat. Drinking may simply be limited to lemonade or lemonade.
Most parents take into account the age of the child out how many people they invite. If your child is six years, then invites example six children. You can be a little flexible with that. If the child wants to invite seven children it would be ok, because there is not a large difference between the sixth and seventh child, then allow it. It can be very annoying if a child should not invite someone he or she thinks that this person must be. Even if the child is less than the permitted number of invites you can discuss whether it is so good, or that he necessarily wants more. As for the invitation, you can choose the child to hand out the invitations themselves, or they themselves give it to parents. In the latter case you can be sure that the invitation might as well arrive and make contact with the parents of another child, so that you have seen. They therefore will see where they send their children to.
There are many popular trips possible and conceivable. Depending on the age, a swim party – naturally and chips afterwards – very nice. It is important to make sure that everyone can swim. With older children, you can go play paintball or laser games. Also visiting an amusement park is always good. But these are already the more expensive activities. Also a nice – but expensive – option is an external agency in your home to organize a theme party. There are special agencies that specialize in children's parties.
At the end – if you are planing special party and you want it to be unforgettable it would probably be a good idea to hire a professional photographer, like baby photography Melbourne, so you do not have to worry that some moments and memories will be lost!
