Photographic Multishot Techniques
High Dynamic Range, Super-Resolution, Extended Depth of Field, Stitching
Photographers are just beginning to realize the potential of high dynamic range imaging (HDRI). Now, the newest techniques based on a bracketed series of exposures make it possible to go beyond HDRI: photographers can increase resolution for ultra-sharp, detailed images, and they can extend the depth of field in a way that was never before possible.
Photographic Multishot Techniques provides a thorough introduction and is a hands-on guide to these various techniques. Using a series of example images, the authors explain and illustrate the use of each technique. Included are lessons on HDRI, super-resolution, focus stacking, and stitching images. Moreover, the reader will learn how to effectively combine these various techniques to create amazing images.
Throughout the book, the authors use tools such as Photoshop, PhotoAcute, Photomatix Pro, FDRTools, CombineZM, DOP Detail Extractor, and Helicon Focus to illustrate the workflow with detailed, step-by-step instructions. Most of these tools offer free trial versions that are available for download at the Rocky Nook Website at the book description of "Photographic Multishot Techniques".
Learning to use these cutting-edge techniques is sure to expand the repertoire and improve the photographic skills of the professional, as well as the advanced amateur, photographer.

A long time ago, an MMO had to save itself by transitioning from a subscription-based format to free-to-play. Other MMOs have made the transition over the years, although not with as much need to retain players as Star Wars: the Old Republic. Since that time, the game experienced a resurgence in population for a while, but things seem to have settled down. It's a good time to revisit how the free-to-play experience stacks up against being preferred or a subscriber.

As a Premium account holder and long time subscriber to SWTOR, I'd like to weigh in here.
Yes, the restrictions look really bad on paper, but realistically, if you're looking to play the game for the long haul and actually do endgame content, the restrictions aren't so bad.
The cash shop in SWTOR, anytime you buy something off of it, it's delivered to you as an item in your character's inventory, even account unlocks like more inventory slots, race unlocks and the like. This also means that players looking to make easy credits can buy several things and put them on the auction house.
Case in point. I had max inventory slots, all the races unlocked and a month's saved up Operations access (Ops are SWTOR-speak for Raids) and, outside of the $10 I spent for the cartel expansion when I was a subber, and the sub, I never paid a thin dime for the game. all of my unlocks, I got via the auction house, and I was, as a free player, still actively raiding and doing(and benefitting from) endgame content.
There's enough daily quests in SWTOR at level cap to get you to credit cap twice over. Ultimately, the only thing I missed being a free to play player was the fact that I didnt' have access to all the emotes (I was on an RP server)
This has more to do with f2p in general, but juggling expenses is for real life. I don't just buy whatever in real life. I do a lot of homework, ask questions, read consumer reports, and make purchases I can get out of if need be.
Making choices like that in video games takes all the fun out of it.
Now with respect to Swtor, I logged in when it first went f2p and logged in last week. It does feel a lot better.

I think it's fair to talk about whether a preferred tier in a game is too restricted, but there is no such thing as too restricted when it comes to a completely free player. At least not in terms of what the player deserves or should expect, because if you spend nothing, you deserve nothing. The only sense in which free players can be too restricted is if the restrictions are so onerous that people who otherwise might have eventually spent money don't stick around long enough to make that decision.

You claim the game was desperate despite having 2 million pre-orders. Most of the subs dropped off quickly, but those pre-orders amassed at least $120 million in revenue. So it wasn't like the game was hurting immediately.
EA said the game needs about 500k subscribers to be profitable from subscribers alone, and it has that number today. And a recent report said SWTOR made another $130+ million on the cartel market last year alone. The game isn't hurting. There is tons of new content and it is doing quite well.
As for the restrictions on F2P, if you give the game money once ever, you go from F2P to preferred for life. I recommend to most people to subscribe at least for one month. You get the expansion for free, can level from 50 to 55, and have no restrictions during that month. Then you make tons of credits and purchase all the unlocks you'd need as a preferred player. You can let your subscription drop then and have most things unlocked.
I sub every month however because I love the game and want it to continue to be a success so I keep getting new content.
You can get some bonus items and 7 days of free subscription time by clicking a refer a friend link.

I think the biggest difference is what was touched on in the article, and that is that they beat you over the head with restrictions. I am at preferred status, and get so turned off by the constant bombardment that I lose the desire to play at any level.
Wish you could unify chest color? or hide head slot? Pay $$!
Hey you just turned in a quest! Well you would get more rewards if you pay $$!
Oh and by the way, rest XP = $$
Hey want to remove mods? Well if you subscribe it costs less! (not a lot less, but just an example)
Hey wish you could send someone credits? Well only subscribers can! Oh and enjoy the credit cap. But you can unlock money you earn with $$
For a Star Wars game... it feels like it is being run by Ferengi. I can almost hear the Rules of Acquisition being quoted at me.
I understand that they want to make money, but they put too much emphasis and pressure on sales techniques, because you can't just enjoy the game, free or preferred, without being smacked in the face with a sales pitch, or reminder at how your experience sucks compared to a subscriber. And that is what I don't care for.

I have to call BS on the "living hell" claim. Do you technically run out of slots, if you insist on putting everything you possibly can into a hotbar slot? Sure. But the game isn't hard enough for you to actually need to use all of your abilities in a fight just because you have them. Just one hotbar can easily get you through any fight you will face outside of an Operation, and if someone makes it far enough to be doing Ops, he/she can probably suck it up and spend five bucks.
I agree though, that if you don't want to sub, preferred is the way to go. If five bucks (ever) is a hardship, there are probably more important things to be doing with your time than playing a MMO anyway.

Its sad that so many people are still drinking the cool-aid that EA gives them. I sub the game, but at least I am fully aware of how greedy EA has been and how much the screw over all the tiers.
SWTOR even makes a subbers pay for emotes. They gives you 400-500 CC a month but when you compared that to the price of things in their shop. Its pennies.
Also notes that the games SWTOR was put next two were old games. The Secret World, Tera both of which came out around the same times have much different ftp systems.
EA did and has done everything in their power to ruin SWTOR. If it was ANY other mmo. The game would have died long long ago. Its only because its Star Wars that its still here today.

And I agree with Ryowulf's notion of "Also notes that the games SWTOR was put next two were old games." True, STO's one is a much better model, but to the truth, it gets either cash-shop heavy or grind-heavy in the end, and it's full with lockboxes, sadly. LotRO is also much better, especially for a former vip, but in there you need to buy (or grind the TP for) the expansions.
My favourite part of the column was the ending (Everyone knows the adage about honey getting better results than vinegar), I keep saying the same since TOR switched to f2p. It was, however, only a theory without an actual example, until Rift switched. Rift's model is awesome. Jean should've paired Rift next to TOR as well, comparing the totally opposite approach of the same thing, the f2p switch. Now that would've been an interesting column :)
(ps. and it's coming from someone who doesn't really like Rift, and more or less like and occasionally play TOR. TOR's f2p is a bad joke. And it's still better by lightyears compared to the initial state.)

Yes as a former sub free to play is crap and utterly useless. They just want your cash so if u want to play this game sub 1 month beat the story lines, do a raid, pvp and ship battles....you've completed everything worth trying. Bioware did a super crappy job making a mmorpg, but a great job making a rpg.

The problem with this reasoning is that TOR's F2P is the second most successful of any game offering a subscription. Only WoW's cash shop makes more money than TOR's (in the market of games which include subs)
So you can think it's a bad joke all you want, but EA is laughing all the way to the bank.

no other game I can think of restricts players to gaining 25% less experience if you do not pay 15 bucks a month. No other game I can think of gives you less action bars and UI if you do not pay 15 bucks a month. You people rationalizing this restrictive garbage shows you cannot be objective nor are even trying to be rational. Its garbage period for anyone that does not pay a sub for the game. People on this forum never seem to amaze me at the amount of stupidity in rational thinking or excuses they make in a bias way because they either hate or love their game so much they play or do not play.
As for game play its not terrible nor is it great and why they lost all the subs as its a on rails star wars experience that was hyped beyond belief and is why they lost so many subs. If they would of just stuck to the truth showed more of the game before release and listened more to their beta testers it would still have probably a couple million subs. Im not in the sandbox SWG bandwagon either , I thought SWG was utter crap also so I judge the game on what it offered when I subbed to it. I still enjoy going back to it once in a while to play it but the fact you have to pay 15 bucks a month for two more action bars and normal experience gains makes me sick to my stomach and why I havent been back in a very long time. It reminds me of a shady used car dealer trying to milk every cent out of a person. They might even get a sub out of myself and others if they didnt seem like they want to nickle and dime you by restricting everything. Some of us are not impulsive and can stand up for our principles though we still enjoy a games story etc.

If both the subscription and F2P models of SWTOR is a disappointment, there is another option to get your mmo Star Wars "fix". Purchase a copy of Star Wars Galaxies from Ebay or Amazon and install the emulator from SWGEMU. The emulator has been a work in progress for around nine years by a small group of enthusiasts who want to relive the glory days that was SWG. If you missed out on the experience back in the mid 2000's, now is your chance to see what all the hype is about.

And there aren't "tons" - there are exactly seven games, including WoW, which make more on their cash shops than TOR. There are several threads here about the data already.

There's no disagreement between us. It's obviously good for EA, that's why they're sticking to it. And it's good for a decent chunk of the remaining subs as well (I wouldn't be surprised if the major part of that cash-shop income / year happened to arrive from the subscribers). Until they're spending the monthly sub + shop purchases on top of that, EA is fine with the current state.
McD's also make a truckload of money, still, I can call their products junk :) As a customer, (unless being a devoted fanboi) noone should really care about the profit margins of a company. Personaly, all I care about is the quality of the product, and the pricing of it.
As the owner of 2 TOR boxes I cancelled after the second month. I like the game (somewhat), but it doesn't worth 15/month. For me, I mean. Of course there are folks who are on a different opinion and stayed subbed, which I respect. (on a sidenote, there were about 1.5million others with my views, based on the number of cancelled subs)
Since the switch I looked back maybe 3-4 times, and always left after a week. With this model (even after the revisions), I still don't feel to give them any money - let alone subbing. Again, there are other opinions, of course (and on a sidenote again, I don't really see those 1.5 million were rushing back to the game either...).
To put in a contrast, I'm not a huge Rift fan, but after it switched to f2p I checked back, and dropped in the $15 sub. Simply because of the afforementioned honey vs. vinegar aspect. Rift's model is fully free for anyone, with minor advantages to former players, and with huge bonuses for subscribers. So much better than TOR's model, I can't even compare them, except saying TOR's f2p is a bad joke :) (regardles of EA's income)

Saadi is one of the Gadhafi sons, along with Saif al-Arab and Hannibal, described as "ne'er-do-wells" in a 2009 U.S. State Department cable released by the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks.
"Hannibal and Saadi both have checkered histories of unseemly behavior and public scuffles with authorities in Europe and elsewhere," one cable said.
Saadi played professional soccer in Libya but was never able to make his mark in the far-more competitive Italian football leagues, cycling through three teams between 2004 and 2007 and only appearing in games twice. He reportedly failed a drug test at Perugia and played all of ten minutes for Udinese.
In February, as a popular uprising gained strength and international pressure on Libya increased, Saadi joked in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Christiane Amanpour that he was worried about not being able to go on safari, but called the rising Arab Spring an unstoppable "earthquake."
WATCH: Exclusive Interview With Gadhafi's Sons
Saadi was reportedly captured by rebels in August, but later the rebel Libyan ambassador to Washington, Ali Suleiman Aujali, told ABC News that the rebels never claimed they had Al-Saadi in custody.

Though two of Saadi's siblings were reportedly killed in the fighting in Libya, his sister Aisha and brothers Hannibal and Muhammad managed to escape to Algeria in August. Saif al-Islam, one of the most high-profile Gadhafi children and the one U.S. officials saw as a possible heir to the dictatorship, was captured by rebel forces in southern Libya last month.

Hello from Ft Myers
Hello from Ft. Myers
It is 5:30am. I'm up early just to write a few quick words about our trip so far.
We left Thursday morning as scheduled. Up at 3:30am to pick up the guys in our van and go to the airport. We were at the airport by 5am. Angele was kind enough to get up and drop us off and then drive the van home.
We departed on time, arrived in Newark NJ, changed flights, flew to Miami, took a taxi to Gables Motorsports to pick up our bikes. Hualbikes had delivered them on May 9th. Excellent service on their part.
We picked up the bikes, Gables had done the work we requested and even washed the bikes. Very nice of them.
We still had some work to do to get ready. Marc had received his new Panniers at home in Shediac the day after we shipped the bikes south so he had to install them in Gables parking lot in 90 degree heat.
Mike R and I headed for Key West ahead of Marc and Mike M and arrive at 7:20 PM after a very slow ride on the Overseas Highway, thanks to heavy traffic, in high heat and humidity. The others caught up with us in Key West after the Pannier installation was complete.
We spent the night in Key West. I had a chance to have a short visit with many of my friends there.
We got going late on Friday morning and headed north. It took us a while to get going thanks to the incredibly long day on Thursday. The ride up through the Keys was very slow. Heavy Traffic! high humidity, 93 degrees. Wow! What a shock to the system after coming from Canada. We made it up through the Keys and then rode the Tamiami trail over to Ft Myers and stopped short of our goal of Sarasota at about 7pm when faced with thundershowers.
Today the plan is to head for Tallahassee. It is supposed to be very hot again today. 93 with high humidity. We paln to be on the road at 7am. The others will be up in 15 minutes for breakfast.
I will write more later and provide more detail but it was fun seeing alligators at the side of the road and signs warning of Panther crossings yesterday, we'll see what today holds.
Here is a look at Seven Mile Bridge and Pigeon Key

Hello from Tallahasse
It's early Sunday Morning and we are in Tallahassee. Light rain and about 78 degrees. The rain is kind of nice after blistering heat the last few days but it is ironic that when were are here to ride the "drought is ending" is all you hear on the TV Weather.
Yesterday was frustrating to say the least.
We had planned for an early start. 7am. It was 8am by the time everyone was ready.
I had an oil filler cap issue. I have one of those Eagle Manufacturing Caps (it was on the bike when I bought it) and it stripped where you put the hex key in because the cap was on so tight. I had had the oil changed at my Kawasaki shop and I'm not sure if they over tightened it, but I really doubt it. It may have been the extreme heat had made it so tight. In any case I had a problem. I was getting close to the bottom oil mark and i could not get the cap off.
I told the guys I needed to get this issue addressed before we went too far. I agreed that we should make some time in the relatively cool morning but said if we saw a Walmart I wanted to get some channel locks and remove the cap. We went up the I-75 to get through Tampa. Not my preference. I do not like riding the loaded KLR on a busy Interstate. There was a strong crosswind just to complicate things.
We rode for about an hour, stopped for gas and there was a Walmart across the street. I could have solved the oil cap issue in five minutes. This is where problems started. One of the guys was determined to make time in the cooler morning air and wanted to address my issue later in the day when we took a break from the heat. My idea is if you have oil filler cap issues in 100 degree heat and you are riding as a group you all have a problem that needs to be addressed asap. In any case I was a way from the bottom oil mark and I agreed to push on.
We rode up to the I-275 at Tampa and almost immediately after that exit there's another exit with a small sign, "last exit before tolls". I took the exit. I was in the lead and I took it when I saw the small sign because fighting the crosswind was treacherous for me around those trucks on the Interstate. (I had told the guys that I was struggling on the Interstate in the wind at the last gas stop) When I saw the sign, "last exit before tolls" it occurred to me that the toll was for the skyway bridge in Tampa which I had seen from the air a few months earlier on a flight to Key West with a stop in Tampa. There was no way I wanted to go over that bridge in the wind.
One of the guys, the last guy in line, missed the exit. We were now separated. He had no phone. One of us waited at the intersection for him to return. I went with another to the nearest gas station. My oil was at the bottom mark, the weather was getting hot. Now I had a real problem.
The missing rider came back and looked for us but somehow he and the guy and the intersection did not see each other when he came back, looked for us and got on the highway again and headed north again.
We waited and waited. Finally I said I have to find a fix to my oil cap issue and I headed north on Route 41 in search of help. I found a small automotive garage that after some trying with a socket set that looked like an easy out that would not budge the cap, he got the cap off with large channel locks. ( I didn't like that Eagle Cap when I bought the bike used. You always have to have a hex key with you to add oil. Who would have though about it stripping)?
The rest of the day was spent trying to regroup in 100 degree heat. Phone calls, directions, re-directions, missed mettings by 5 minutes after two hour waits, more long waits in brutal heat. It turns out the missing rider was at a rest area on the I 75 north of Tampa and borrowed a phone to call me. I called but couldn't reach the guys we sent looking for him. I couldn't call the guy waiting in the sun at the intersection, because he too, didn't have a phone.
I should say I have only recently met these guys. Although we all live in the same small town I am relatively new to the area. I moved back East from Vancouver. I had never traveled with them before. They are all good riders and good guys and I don't know how you ride in a group and avoid issues like starting early or late, how to address priorities related to mechanical issues, route planning, timing etc successfully. I do know that this is the second major trip in a year where it has been an issue with new riding partners.
We talked and planned at length for this trip. I expressed the concern that I was riding a KLR, a bike not well suited to Interstate travel at speed, fully loaded. The other guys are on much larger displacement bikes with huge street tires. Quite a different animal than my KLR and I had suggested in the beginning that I would truck my bike with them and then do my own trip.
In the end that Is what I've decided to do. They are currently on the way to the Barber Motorsports motorcycle museum in Birmingham. I am headed to Talladega to see the Nascar track which is one of the things I most wanted to see and discussed at length in the pre ride meetings. Yesterday morning I was told we wouldn't have time to see it. There is a disjoint here in riding plans. I feel like I've driven the length of Florida without really seeing much and that's why I don't have many photos so far. I did take some video in the Keys with my GoPro but I haven't edited it yet. I'll post it here when I do get the chance to sit down and edit it.
I just got a call from one of the two riders headed south from Shediac with the plan to meet us in Deal's Gap. One of then is having issues with his wrists and is going to nurse that back home. The other rider who is on an extended trip has decided he will likely skip the Deal's Gap idea and head West to get out of the rain. His eventual destination is Edmonton, AB
I am on my way to Talladega later this morning. I see from the weather that the drought is ending from here to Maine on the East coast. I may head north on a more westerly track.

Talla to Talla
I had a wonderful ride today from Tallahassee to Talladega. A little rain in a couple spots made me don the rain gear twice but it was dry for the most part and the temperature was a near perfect 73. What a relief after three very hot days.
I rode route 27 up the western edge of Georgia. It varies from two lane blacktop in spots to divided highway. The pavement is smooth as glass. For the most part there is no traffic. It is like having the road all to yourself, like an Interstate without any traffic. Canada needs more roads like this.
I saw things you never see in the Maritimes like possum and armadillo road kill, vultures, rattlesnakes. Cool!
I saw cows that look like Oreo cookies, Dark brown at each end with a white stripe in the middle. I saw peanut processing plants. I saw boiled peanuts for sale. I tried them once before. I guess they are an acquired taste.
I made it to Talladega. I have wanted to see the track in person for many years. It is huge! It is hard to describe the acres and acres of fields for parking. The grandstands that look like a small mountain range, as you approach, the wide boulevard to accommodate the traffic. The place takes up thousands of acres of land. It is all really out in the boonies.
It is amazing that Nascar attracts such a huge number of fans to this place twice a year. I wish I had been thinking about Talladega when we planned this ride. It was last week!
Maybe I'll get to see the race one year, in person

I haven't had much time to post, here is some un edited video I took while riding in North Carolina.
I rode 243 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway today and shot more video. I'll edit it and post more when I get home.

Report will continue
I don't want to spoil the suspense but I'm at home now. I made it safe and sound. I found posting from the road to be very time consuming. I was using my new Go Pro movie camera to make film clips along the way and downloading them takes a little while every night but editing them and uploading them to Youtube so you can share them takes forever (sometimes a couple hours to upload a 5 minute clip) Impossible after a long day on the road. Now that I'm home I plan to go through some of the film I shot and try and do a ride report that does the ride justice..That bit of film (above) was posted mostly as a test and is out of sequence.
When i left Talladega I rode back into Georgia and had a bite to eat and a coffee in Tallapoosa GA at this little coffee shop.
On Tallapoosa's Main Street
Before setting out on back roads to meet up with the other riders for a night at Deals's Gap.
I had a GPS with me but it's an older Garmin hand held, an ETrex Legend. It will show you roads but it cannot be prograqmmed to show you a route like today's models. Here it is.
So what I was doing for navigation was looking at Google Maps on my netbook in the hotel at night and deciding on a route and just marking the route numbers down. It worked alright for the most part, but why I didn't bring my more modern automotive GPS and keep it in a baggy to keep it dry and just to check when I needed it is beyond me. I won't make that mistake again.

Solo Riding
For the most part my navigation strategy worked out alright. I did manage to get lost and confused a couple times. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. My handheld GPS helped once or twice at intersections. Writing down route numbers in the morning was alright but sometimes at intersecting highways I wasn't sure if I wanted East or West, usually I could rule out South since I was riding Key West to Canada.
I was beginning to enjoy the benefits of riding solo. So many people talk to you when you stop by yourself. I can't tell you how many people asked me about the GoPro Camera.
I'm a cat lover and at a place in Georgia, called Motorcycle Bob's, which is appears to be a privately owned riding park, I made a new friend, at least for a while.
Try hanging around with a cat for 20 minutes while others riders wait for you, I'm betting it won't work.

Greetings from the south shore!
Glad you decided to set out on your own - that's often the hardest but most rewarding decision I've made a few times. And I do know where you're coming from - I've often got the smallest bike in the group.

I bactracked to see this "Welcome Center" which was nothing more than a roof you could park your bike under. No map and no explanation of what you were being welcomed to although I'm sure it is the Blue Ridge Parkway, nearby.
I saw areas where the effect of the drought they have been suffering in the South was very apparent. Look at this boat ramp near the Georgia/North Carolina border. The lake level must be down 20 feet.

Having done both solo and group rides, one of the best suggestions I know of for riding with a group is to do a shorter ride (weekend/long weekend) to work out how well you manage together as a group of riders before doing longer rides.

This will please my daughter. Steven Moffat takes over the running of DOCTOR WHO from Russell Davies for the 2010 season. Moffat has written most of the best episodes of the revived series so far.
27 thoughts on "Steven Moffat Takes Over DOCTOR WHO"
His episodes Blink and the Girl In the Fire Place were stunning. Warren You should write a couple of episodes.
That is good news. The last two episodes have been atrociously stupid and I don't believe this season will pick up before it's over.
Moffatin' the TARDIS. Why not? He has done some very good work on the show, with a good blend of eerie and emotionally-accessible that's hard to manage without it becoming campy. And I second Lee Gordon; I'd love to see a Warren Ellis ep.
While this means that the episodes will be very well written, it also means that I will apparently be spending every Friday night under my bed come 2010. Stephen Moffat's episodes (except "Girl in the Fireplace") tend to wig me out something fierce.
I'm not sure I want to see a Warren/Doctor Who episode, if only because I can't see a love of modified genitals translating well to Doctor Who.
"That's not quite how it works."
New guv'nor = new rules. I reckon the Moff would be well up for it!
"You should write a couple of episodes."
"That's not quite how it works."
Yeah, I know it doesn't work that way, but one can dream and I'm sure you would write some great stuff for WHO.
It does mean Moffat has less time to write scripts and RTD has more. Davis' scripts are often the less well recieved (although still very good).
Hopefully this will mean fewer awesome story arcs that end with a dance number and everybody on Earth praying for The Doctor. I know it's a kids show, but Davies has done some really awful stuff.
Hey, Warren, I understand "That's not how it works" as far as writing episodes for Doctor Who…but surely you could send a little proposal for a small Arc to IDW publishing, or even Doctor Who Magazine.
Personally, I'd like to see the Doctor visit colonial America, or Revolution ary War America. The Doctor at the Boston Tea Party? could be interesting? The Doctor meets Ben Franklin. Team up to battle some Aliens, by weaponizing the Glass Armonica? They could battle the mad doctor Franz Mesmer,who could be attempting to use Franklin's Armonica, and some sort of Magnetics to hypnotize the the people of earth? Could be very interesting.
Maybe helping Franklin prove Lightning is Electricity by using the famous key tied to the kite string being he key to the TARDIS, and attatched to the Tardis itself, which is in need of a recharge. It could be a temporal plasma storm, or something, or even involving some alien composed of electricity.
Lastly, I think it would be great if the Doctor could visit the Ancient Maya or Inca Peoples. Pre colonial Yucatan Peninsula, and Andes Mountains. Possibly the Nazca Plains, your imagination could come up with a great story behind the Nazca lines, yes? We know you're capable, Doom 2099 proved that to me, sir.

No kidding? I had no Idea you were Marvel exclusive as far as Work for Hire is concerned.
Are story posting story Idea Taboo? Pretentious to suggest? Or is it for reasons concerning idea theft? I'm still in the process of learning these things, so forgive me, as I am in constant need of enlightenment.
Thanks for the tolerance…

Seven Muffins? I couldn't possibly eat seven muffins. Although I find it hard to picture the seven of them working together effectively, I think season 5 will be the best yet.
Just out of curiosity Warren, what would you do with the Doctor if you were given the chance to write a Doctor Who story (whether it be a comic or a tv script). I know it's highly unlikely to happen but I ask from a speculative point of view.
Didn't they ask J.K. Rowling to write an episode for the third season of Who? Jesus Christ…
Moffat is a good step up, but until Tennant either leaves or learns to act I think I'm going to continue to slowly lose interest.
fuck ellis writing for who, i want him to stage a coup in the states and take over as show runner for heroes…that cocksucker kring has no fucking clue
DO you really think that would be the case. While Moffat was the head writer he wrote more episodes than anyone else. I pray he will be relegated to two-3 episodes per seires max.
Who wrote the "family of blood" and "Human Nature?" There was a damn good writer. I love those over the top villains. I also agree that Tennant should take his leave, but I also wish this series would last for at least ten years, and with only three regenerations left, that sorta limits things….
I actually enjoy Tennant as an actor, I don't know, maybe it's because I'm an unenlightened American.
Someone mentioned their distain for the last two episodes….are you refering to the Sontaran dust off, or the Doctor's daughter and "The Unicorn and the Wasp." I actually enjoyed every one of them, although, that "Doctor's Daughter " Episode made me nauseous once or twice, espicially when they didn't give her her a proper regeneration. I suppose they have that actress under contract for a return appearance. On top of that there's always the "oh, look a buxom blond, who can do back flips through laser beams"! They really know how to cater to us so called "fanboys", don't they? Hot girl, with ample breasts a a big gun…sigh.
I'm an American, and I can't stand Tennant. His whole shtick is to be the big goofy wacky timey-wimey nerdcruft guy that suddenly turns around and YELLS HOW ANGRY HE IS! LOOK HOW ANGRY I AM I AM YELLING AND SCOWLING! Oh look now I am hoppity hoppiting on one foot! Now let me cry over Rose, a companion who left two seasons ago. Give me a break.
He was chosen because he is a pretty face to draw in girls (and for Russell T. Davies to sigh over). I remember reading that he was their initial choice for the Doctor when the show returned, but in the end Eccleston beat him out. Which is good because if we had had Tennant instead of Eccleston's genius to relaunch the show I don't think it would have gone as well.
Hasn't that sort of thing been the staple of Doctor Who since nearly the beginning? Every doctor has a personality unto himself. The only Doctor who I truly disliked was Colin Baker's Doctor. Small wonder he only lasted a little over a year. I rather enjoy Tennants take on the character, although I do see where you are coming from. I am growing rather bored with having at least one tragic monologue each episode with that sad backround music playing. But I like the bipolar nature of the thenth doctor. These guys must be doing something right, otherwise we wouldn't be talking about the show at all, would we. I really think this show is one of the best relauches ever. That new Captain Scarlett show is a close second, if it doesn't beat Doctor Who out all together. Anyway, I'm sticking with this show as long as it runs, and I hope it runs another forty years
Maybe the Doctor can go back in time and fix our time's most unjust travesty, the George W. Bush presidency?
Funny-Interesting, that suggestion. Begs many a provocative question: Would 9-11 have occurred? Would we have gone to war anyway? Would David Icke have been left with nothing to talk about? Would The Doctor have teemed up with Ralph Nader? Would Nader force the Doctor to equip the TARDIS with seatbelts? Maybe David Icke should play the next Doctor? Maybe Ralph Nader should Play the new Doctor?
I'd love to see a Warren Ellis (and/or Neil Gaiman or Jonathan Lethem — his "Omega the Unknown" is a trip — or Connie Willis) Doctor Who episode. "The Empty Child" was an exceptionally good story; it evoked real emotion. I think Moffat will do a good job in whatever capacity he's involved with the Doctor.
The Horse Witch is in The girl In The Fire Place episode .
Well That white Horse Is Mine . His Name Is Calleddd Tonto.

MACON -- Attorneys for a man accused of killing Mercer University law school graduate Lauren Giddings said prosecutors have yet to hand over some pieces of evidence.
The lawyers for Stephen McDaniel are asking for more time to prepare pretrial motions, partly because they're still awaiting the evidence. Among the items are test results from strands of hair found on Giddings' torso.
McDaniel is charged with the June 2011 slaying and dismemberment of 27-year-old Giddings, who was from Laurel, Md. McDaniel has pleaded not guilty.
Franklin Hogue, one of McDaniel's attorneys, said that evidence prosecutors handed over did not include lab reports of testing done on strands of hair. The hairs were found during Giddings' autopsy and, later, in a refrigerator that detectives seized from the apartment beneath hers.

Popular 1793 Chain Cent, S-3, XF Sharpness1793 Chain 1C AMERICA--Corroded--NCS. XF Details. S-3, B-4, Low R.3. This variety is distinguished by a high R in LIBERTY, which is closely spaced to the T. On the reverse, AMERICA is spelled out. Although corroded on both sides, there are areas where the surfaces are remarkably smooth or only minutely porous. The sharpness is impressive, and corrosion does not obscure any of the design elements. The chain and denomination are boldly impressed, and Liberty is fully defined. At first glance the chocolate-brown surfaces appear quite pleasing, and only under a loupe does the corrosion appear significant. Scattered marks are typical for the grade, and none merit individual mention. Chain cents, the nation's first regular issue coins, were struck for just a few months in 1793 until they were replaced by the Wreath design. While contemporaries complained that the chain was emblematic of slavery, modern day collectors treasure these important pieces of numismatic history.

39 year old man | Tucker, GA, USA | Seeking women 25-40 within 50 miles
Life is like a box of...
Life is like a box of... (Not Chocolates as they would have already melted while looking for that special person.) I am looking for friendship first. I want to meet a woman who is smart, funny, honorable and loyal. I recently have started looking again after getting out of a long relationship. We ended as friends and made the decision to move on. I am looking for a woman who wants to be loved and knows what she wants. I am done with playing games and want to seriously look for a friendship that could be more. I enjoy the outdoors. Long walk on the beach, a hike or walking trail is fine with me. When its colder I enjoy reading a book by the fire, snuggling on the couch and talking with that special woman or watching a movie. I do not mind going out to dinner or drink and a movie or comedy club show. I enjoy volunteering when I can with local clubs or groups. I work as a Network Administrator for the last 13 year and enjoy the job I have. I don't pass up looking at other opportunities to further my career or skills. I have worked as a High School Football Official for the last 10 years. I also work adult league and youth league football throughout the year. I enjoy watching NFL and College Football (Go DAWGS!). The Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Hawks are also my teams, I hope they both have better seasons this year. I enjoy all types of music. (Was a member of the band in high school.) I don't have any favorites as I listen to everything. I work hard everyday and would like to find someone who I can share my free time with. I enjoy being around and working with children. I do not mind dating a single mother who has a child or children at home. My idea of an evening out is to have dinner and coffee afterwards so we can talk and get to know each other. If you are looking for a hardworking man who treats women with respect, then please drop me a message. If you have any questions, please just write me and ask...

Paul Ryan on Running for President: I Can Make a Difference Where I Am
After attacks on his health care plan from people inside his own party, Rep. Paul Ryan says that many Dems are using scare tactics to misrepresent the plan. Ryan seems to take it all in stride saying, "We have a year-and-a-half. In a year-and-a-half the truth will be known."
Plus, with what some are calling an underwhelming GOP presidential contender line-up thus far, Ryan responds to questions of whether or not he'll throw his own hat in the ring. As of now, the congressman says he has "no plans" to do that; rather, he wants to make a difference in our nation's budget from his seat in Congress.

Just to throw in a different angle: I have never noticed that much difference between sintered and organic pads or pads in general. I use organic pads because they are the easiest on my rotors. I have worn out a lot of rotors. I have literally worn out almost as many rotors as I have pads if you count pulsing rotors as worn out! Sintered pads seem to eat my rotors. If I include all the half worn pads I have replaced after replacing a pulsing rotor I have for sure worn out more rotors than pads!
I do notice a big difference with different rotor alloys. IMO, rotor material is a big part of the equation. Personally, I run stock rotors but I also run Brembo calipers.
Good braking with swinging calipers is an uphill battle. They are a bad design from the get go. An over inch tall pad that swings on a super short radius to meet a flat rotor? Good rotor/pad contact is impossible.
IMO too much lever travel via larger caliper/MC ratio decreases braking control. Not enough 'feedback' IMO. I prefer a firm lever. Not too firm but firm.
Personally, I wouldn't own and ride a bike regularly that has ATE swinging calipers but if I did I would start improving the setup with a handlebar mounted MC and steel braided lines. That stock MC setup is somehow the worst of two worlds combined.

White snoop would you be able to make a tutorial to show how to change what units spawn?
WhiteSnoop can you give us a relative time frame of when the the new cheat mod for MoW:AS will be released?
That depends...
I dont want to give the feeling I am not doing anything lately. But lately, I have been busy with private life, school, training period. Besides that, I have also other projects running (other games).
So I'd say, maybe within two weeks!
But if you have the Men of war games on steam, I am making a trainer that can do some neat stuff.
--TRAINER what I got so far--
Change hovered player (make 'hovered over' enemy yours)
Change hovered player MASK (make YOUR unit 'ally' with enemy)
Current ammo in clip
ItemCount: Hover over inventory items, and change their counts.
Itemfill: Hover over inventory items and change their fillings (like ammo)
Make impossible-enterable-parked vehicles enterable!
If you dont have the steam version, then you're out of luck :(
Yo WhiteSnoop! It's been a long time. How's your cheat mod for MoW-AS doing? Is it gonna be done any time soon?
I have reworked some things in the script, and I hope to make the cheats mod very easy for users to edit.
I am not sure when I'll be releasing it, as like I said before:
I only want to release updates when there are some big changes.
At the moment I've done:
Reworked spawn script -> should be easier for users to add more spawns (still, this is not for total newbies.)
Some different icons (I dont know if I am gonna update the icons, I think the current version suits well)
Infinite ammo = I think this is not possible due to game engine.
I am also making a trainer right now for AS (newest STEAM update)
for now I got: Change unit to your side when you hover over them
I also got: change player mask to enemy (which means, enemy think you is a good guy :)
Interesting, that trainer is gonna be fun.
Making your mod easy to edit for the rest of us is a nice idea, so instead of requesting for new spawns all the time, we can edit it for ourselves.
I just hope it won't be too complicated. Make sure you provide detailed instructions. ;)
Idk about the infinite ammo thing, sometimes if i gave my Tank Crew SAS soldier guns and 1 slot of ammo, the Crew started shooting and when they Reloaded the guns, the ammo was still the same, it was like no bullet was gone wasted
Yes, this is not a bug.
In the gem engine, you can decide that a unit is either AI controlled or User controlled.
AI controlled explains it already, you'll have infinite ammo (like the enemy does)
Downsides from AI controlled is that you will not see lifebars when you shoot the enemy, nor do you see your own lifebar on the map. Another small thing that some people complained about earlier Cheatsmod, is that you dont have left sidebar pictures (since the AI controlled will not use sidebar images)
The reason the tank crew has infinite ammo, is that I did NOT set them to USER controlled.
That is how it all works
Can you tell me how can I increase the damage and the blast radius of your "spawn explosion" option myself?
In War Realism mod it's pretty powerful, destroys tanks with ease, but in GSM it's very weak, so I'd like to modify it myself.
well what I did was simple:
spawn 'explosion' arround waypoint *** (depends on what men of war)
So it will be a matter of adding more explosions + making the waypoint radius bigger OR edit some files of the explosion (In which I dont have any experience.) I've made the radius of the waypoint really low as it's more accurate to drop bombs or tanks :D

Seabees visit school
The Naval Construction Training Center (NCTC) at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme, brought six giant vehicles to Parkview Elementary School just a few blocks away from NBVC's Bard Gate as part of a Veterans Day presentation Friday, Nov. 8.
The 742 students — kindergartners through sixth graders — got to climb into a five-ton dump truck, a grader and other vehicles under the watchful eye of Seabees.
"When I was a kid I would have loved this," said Utilitiesman 1st Class Juan Gonzalez as he hoisted a first-grader onto a vehicle. "Actually, I still like it."
Principal Cara Comstock said she appreciated her students having this opportunity.
"I think it's so wonderful to have such an important part of our community brought to our students," she said. "A lot of them don't have any idea of what's just a few blocks away. They don't know about our heroes who take care of them."
Amanda Glover, a special education teacher at Parkview, has arranged for several projects with the Seabees. Her husband, Lt. Grant Glover, worked with the NCTC for this presentation. Both the commanding officer, Cmdr. Dan Cook, and the executive officer, Lt. Cmdr. Jesse Santiago, attended.
Before climbing on the equipment, each student attended a slide show that talked about the history of the Seabees and the humanitarian work they do across the globe.
"We do a lot more than fight wars," Glover told the students. "Not everyone is an engineer. We teach people the skills they need to better their lives and the lives of their families."
As the lines formed around the equipment, some of the teachers used the downtime to create a teachable moment.
"Does anyone remember what this piece does?" first-grade teacher Robyn Birkimer asked her students.
"It spins around so it can dig a hole," one replied.
The student was right. It was an auger truck.
"This has been very educational," said first-grade teacher Rosaicela Magaña. "I think it's a wonderful idea to expose the student to this for Veterans Day so they can appreciate service to their country."

Vintage: 2008
2008 saw very high yields across wineries in much of the southern hemisphere, as a result of highly favorable climatic conditions. Although in many areas, these high yields brought with them something of a drop in overall quality, this could not be said for South Australia's wines, which were reportedly excellent. Indeed, the 2008 Shiraz harvest in South Australia is said to be one of the most successful in recent decades, and western Australia's Chardonnays are set to be ones to watch out for. New Zealand's Pinot Noir harvest was also very good, with wineries in Martinborough reportedly very excited about this particular grape and the characteristics it revealed this year. Pinot Noir also grew very well in the United States, and was probably the most successful grape varietal to come out of California in 2008, with Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley delivering fantastic results from this grape. Elsewhere in United States, Washington State and Oregon had highly successful harvests in 2008 despite some early worries about frost. However, it was France who had the best of the weather and growing conditions in 2008, and this year was one of the great vintages for Champagne, the Médoc in Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes leading the way. Italy, too, shared many of these ideal conditions, with the wineries in Tuscany claiming that their Chianti Classicos of 2008 will be ones to collect, and Piedmont's Barberesco and Barolo wines will be recognized as amongst the finest of the past decade.
Varietal: Malbec
Malbec grapes have been grown for centuries in the Old World, and whilst many wineries had and continue to have great success with these dark and rather demanding grapes, they are famously susceptible to rot and quickly lose their best features should the weather not be as good as they need it to be. As such, it is the New World Malbec wines which have really made this old and respected varietal a household name, and the many single variety bottles we see in our supermarkets and wine stores bearing this grape have been some of the biggest and most pleasing success stories of recent years. However, Malbec is often and was traditionally used as a blending grape, offering its strong tannins and heavy, plummy fruit flavors to milder, mellower wines to boost their character, and many of these blended wines rank amongst the finest in the world. As such, Malbec is a highly versatile grape which has spread across the globe to produce some very different results, each one pleasing, and each one packed with flavor and character.
Region: Cuyo
Situated in and around the Andean mountains, the Cuyo region of Argentina has long been associated with the best of the country's wine industry. Including now world famous provinces such as Mendoza and La Rioja, Argentina's Cuyo region has something of an ideal environment for the cultivation of high quality grapes – including Argentina's flagship varietal, the Malbec – which includes the beautiful Desaguadero River and its tributaries. Although the region itself is quite dry and arid, the soils have a remarkably high mineral content, and plenty of iron which gives it the distinctive red color associated with Cuyo. For several decades now, wineries in Cuyo have been booming, as more and more of the global wine audience begin to recognize the region's remarkable potential for rich and flavorful wines.
Country: Argentina
As the world's fifth largest producer of wine, after France, Italy, Spain and the United States, Argentina has plenty to offer the international wine market in regards to both quantity and quality. Despite this being the case for several decades now, it has only been since the end of the twentieth century that the Argentinian wine industry has really begun to up their game when it comes to the methods and techniques required to produce world class wines, which are both representative of their country and region of origin, and which stand alone as complex, interesting and delicious wines to drink. As Argentina became a serious contender in the international wine market, wineries previously concerned primarily with high volumes began to change their priorities, and formerly struggling small bodegas and independent wineries began to find success. Nowadays, well crafted wines from smaller vineyards in Argentina are being lauded as some of the finest in the world, and the country is starting to reap the benefits of its heritage, which include some very old vines, and up to four centuries of experience in wine production.

Today is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad's 30th birthday! According to Disney Parks (DisneyParks) on Twitter, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opened September 2, 1979!
Today is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad's 30th birthday! According to Disney Parks (DisneyParks) on Twitter, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opened September 2, 1979!
Omg happy bday btmrr
So after 2 full days in a row of walking around disneyland and a four hour practice, I finally understand why my doctor told me to take it easy on my knee I still cant wait to do it again
If anyone's not doing anything today, come to the park, to the Golden Horseshoe at 1 PM for a Hoedown! Then ride BTMRR as much as you can from 1 - 2 PM.
Happy Birthday to BTMRR!!! I'd love to join up and ride as many times as possible between 1 & 2, but if even if I left now, I wouldn't make it in time...oh well, have fun for me too!
I think that its sad to see that BTMR doesnt get a huge aniversery like HM did. I know that the rides are totally differnt but i think BTMR is equally as good.

A happy birthday to my favorite ride. We share a birth month
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. mycroft16 on Twitter
its so hard to choose which one i like better. lol
Then again, I don't think they did anything for Splash Mountain's 20th. Of course, 20<30<40 - maybe that's all there is to it.
Happy Birthday Big Thunder!!
My absolute favorite DL ride, even though I was afraid to ride it until I was 11 or so, therefore I missed out on a few years of good rides!!
I will never forget the first time I rode, with my Dad. I was terrified because I hate big drops in roller coaster rides. Well, as we were heading into the biggest "drop" of the ride, into the cave, my Dad saw it coming and yelled "Oh s@#&!!" It wasn't appropiate, of course, but I cannot help but think of that everytime I ride. Since then, when I ride with my kiddies, we shout "Oh Snap!!" instead...
Sadly, my Dad passed away unexpectedly in April, so every time we go on Big Thunder it is a little bittersweet now, but it is nice to have so many years of memories.
Splash Mountain: 20
Big Thunder Mountain: 30
Matterhorn: 50
There's space mountain, but it turned 31, so it would've been a random party for it But I think Matterhorn really deserved a party. It, like Haunted Mansion, was an original attraction Walt helped work on, and Walt actually saw the Matterhorn. Plus, instead of 40, it turned 50. After the 50th anniversary, I'd think 50 would be a pretty big number, especially for such a unique ride like Matterhorn, which has never been cloned.
Why no party? They didn't order the merchandise in time. Can't have a celebration unless we can sell you something.
BTMRR is a Disney classic and the gold standard for all runaway mine coasters. Tony Baxter did really good with this one. It has a great history behind it and has held up rather well over the years. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to my namesake! Many happy returns to Mr. Baxter's finest work.
Happy Birthday!

Intel crush Julian Schnabel has been making the promotional rounds for the Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and after reading through a few of his interviews, we can report that whether he's "picking at a crab cake" in Philadelphia, "stretched on the floor in his blue silk pajamas," or "propped up by cushions like some flannel-shirted artist's model" in a Toronto hotel, he's just as Schnabulous as ever. A few of our favorite bits:
• On his preferred interviewing style: "Lie down, like I said. Please, just try it, just try it. OK. I will do the same. Put your head down. Now you can just relax and ask me anything you want, and we will be on the same plane."
• On artists David Salle and Robert Longo, who made films that didn't do as well as Diving Bell and the Butterfly: "Well, they're not very good painters (either)."
• On not winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes: "Actually, they were giving me the Palme d'Or until about 2 o'clock that day … The reason I know that is because they asked all the actresses to come and they wouldn't have done that just for the Best Director award. I guess there was a little bargaining going on
It gets very political and polemical. [They say,] 'Okay, we'll give Schnabel the Best Director and that'll settle that and we'll give the Romanian guy the Palme d'Or.'"(Or maybe it was because Michel Piccoli, the French actor who was among the jurors at this year's Cannes Film Festival, was a no-fun "communist.") "He probably didn't vote for me because he thought I was too successful, or having too much fun."
• On life: "Nobody knows better than you what you need to do, even if you don't know what you're doing."

Across the aisle, France's majority Socialist Party has restrained its schadenfreude.
After having the issue taken away from them in 2012, their schadenfreude has been epic.
Maybe if you stare long enough at the catastrophe, you might work through your schadenfreude to its opposite: empathy.
"malicious joy in the misfortunes of others," 1922, German Schadenfreude, literally "damage-joy," from schaden "damage, harm, injury" (see scathe) + freude, from Old High German frewida "joy," from fro "happy," literally "hopping for joy," from Proto-Germanic *frawa- (see frolic).
What a fearful thing is it that any language should have a word expressive of the pleasure which men feel at the calamities of others; for the existence of the word bears testimony to the existence of the thing. And yet in more than one such a word is found. ... In the Greek epikhairekakia, in the German, 'Schadenfreude.' [Richard C. Trench, "On the Study of Words," 1852]

Nightclub mogul remaking Jack's La Jolla
One of San Diego's longtime nightlife moguls is investing up to $3 million to reinvent the cavernous Jack's La Jolla space into a mammoth entertainment venue that will include seven bars, three restaurants, a nightclub — and 300 new jobs.
The latest venture by Mike Viscuso, known for several nightclubs he has opened in downtown San Diego and Hollywood, comes nearly a year after the Jack's dining complex closed abruptly, leaving behind disgruntled, unpaid employees and hundreds of thousands of dollars in delinquent sales taxes.
What Viscuso envisions for the building is remarkably similar to Jack's, regarded as a groundbreaking, albeit daring, project when it opened nearly five years ago.
Like Jack's, the new multi-level complex Viscuso is calling Mike's La Jolla, will have a variety of dining options, from casual to elegant, multiple bars with different vibes and a late-night club catering to a primarily younger crowd.
Viscuso, who will relocate his corporate offices from downtown to the Girard Avenue building, said Mike's will include a street-level coffee shop that will remain open until 3 a.m. on weekends and serve breakfast, as well as hot dogs, pizzas by the slice and homemade pretzels and churros.
A casual oceanview lunch spot will feature menu items priced at $15 and below, while an 80-seat, fine-dining steakhouse will include a piano bar and possibly a jazz trio.
"The actual nightclub on the third floor will have cabanas indoors, and the flooring will look like little stones like you're at the beach," explained Viscuso. "These big doors will stay open, and the flooring will flow out to the enclosed patio, with kind of a beachy feel to it. but not like a Pacific Beach bar. The whole third floor will be high energy, with themed nights for music."
Viscuso admits he is taking a financial risk given the still fragile economy, but says he's confident his project will succeed because of his decades of experience in the night life industry. His 10-year lease, which he finalized this week, also has generous lease terms that include free rent, which Viscuso said will give him some extra time to ride out the downturn while he builds the business.
He noted that Jack's had a fairly high-volume business for much of the nearly four years it was open.
"I agree the economy right now is off, it's unpredictable, but there was an opportunity to acquire a property someone spent millions of dollars on where I can come in and at a fraction of that cost create a new business," said Viscuso, who is adding new kitchen and bar equipment, flooring, wall coverings and lighting to the 18,500 square-foot space.
Although he has yet to acquire his liquor license, Viscuso says he met months ago with the San Diego City Attorney's office and Police Department to satisfy any concerns they might have about his planned mega operation.
