Jade ripped some shreds off Rita Ora's c*m stained weave. She isn't really in a position to go trashing Eurovision. At least Jade didn't give up on her audition, she went all the way and got the UK one of its highest placings in years....
Rita has had constant "whore" rumours surrounding her, and honestly I think there's no smoke without fire. She's incredibly arrogant, slamming other artists despite her own album tanking spectacularly in the US despite promotion. She's just a product of marketing and a Rihanna wannabe, I find her extremely unlikeable.
Jade can sing way better than her, and to be honest Rita Ora has zero star quality, she isn't really in a position to be running her mouth off like that.

Made as fertility figures, they were dedicated to goddesses by women or couples hoping to bear children. Some are adorned with strings of mud pellets, apparently imitating hair.

CE Presents:
RedsZone Guide to Game Threads
SECTION 3: Running Gags in the Game Thread
As you familiarize yourself with the Game Thread process, you'll begin to note several things that do not make sense. For example, you might happen to see a post like the following:
You might then think to yourself: "Self, I don't at all see what was so 'Full of fighting spirit' (thank you http://www.dictionary.com) about that flyout. It seemed pretty routine to me." Ahh yes, my friend, you've fallen victim to yet another RedsZone Running Gag. In order to help you not waste valuable time googling in the future, the Game Thread Guide presents an incomplete list of the RedsZone Running Gags:That Ryan Freel sure is scrappy. What a scrappy flyout that was.
- Ryan Freel is scrappy (he just is – deal with it)
- Ryan Freel doesn't play enough (even 162 starts would be too few for this scrappster)
- Ryan Freel is too valuable to do anything (in fact, to protect his value, he should just sit at home and watch reruns of MASH)
- Chris Denorfia would've caught any fly ball hit to the outfield (he's just that damn good – or "just that good" for all George Grande fans)
- Adam Dunn needs to make more contact (a 500 post thread saying so can't possibly be wrong. Everything that goes wrong in the Reds lineup is due to Adam Dunn not making enough contact. Again, just deal with it)
- All free agent signings are to be "Loathed" (the money could've been better spent, the oldster is holding down a kid, and he kills babies on the weekends)
- Tony Womack hates On Base Percentage, even when he gets a base hit or walks (he tacks a copy of Baseball Prospectus to his dartboard before the season starts)
- Player's don't ground into double plays, players ground into Casey plays (because even the best mayor still can't resist a 2 for 1 special)
- Player's don't hit home runs, they hit a Milton (and when they hit, they hit him hard)
- No batting order is ever correct.
- Any problem on the RedsZone website is caused by a group of 10 mysterious individuals who would prefer to be only known as "The 10" (because apparently, they're all big Johnny Rivers fans)
- The offense is the cause for all of the Reds problems – if they lose 10-7, it's because Austin Kearns didn't drive in his 6th RBI of the night in a timely fashion
- There is a vast conspiracy to send every good player on the Reds 25 man roster to Louisville (by Greyhound, usually)
- Reds.com is the anti RedsZone – anything that makes RedsZoners happy makes Reds.com fans bang their heads into spikes (think Superman "Bizarro World" with a lot less Kryptonite)
And, finally:
- At no point in the game thread is there ever anything resembling rational coverage of the game. It's all a big trick to boost Krono's post count.
Thank you for your attention, and look forward to future "Guides to the Game Thread" in future Game Threads!

A 17-year-old student was shot in the back in a drive-by shooting outside an Anaheim continuation school Monday, police said.
The student was standing outside South West Anaheim school at Katella Avenue and Nutwood Street about 11:30 a.m. when the passengers of a black Ford Taurus shouted gang slang and fired three to six shots, said Anaheim police spokesman Sgt. Rick Martinez.
A car matching that description was recovered less than two miles from the school, Martinez said. The teenager, who was not identified because he is a minor, was taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange, he said.
The school, which is run by the Orange County Department of Education, occupies a white building at the end of a strip mall. It has about 90 students referred from other schools because they were at risk of not graduating or were habitually truant, said Rick Martin, director of educational programs for the department.

South Carolina center T.J. Johnson says the Gamecocks are ready to wipe away the problems of the last two weeks. Johnson has a good handle on the team's attitude. He will start his 48th game, more than anyone in school history, when No. 17 South Carolina (6-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) takes on Tennessee (3-4, 0-4) this Saturday. Johnson has watched the team go from a middle-of-the-pack SEC team to challenger for the league title since he arrived before the 2008 season. Still, he's as upset as anyone about the Gamecocks' two-game slide that dropped them from national championship contender to trying to restore momentum after a 6-0 start. ''We've had a lot of missed assignments and I take that as kind of my fault,'' he said. ''I've got to do more in helping people get ready and that's what we're working toward this week.'' Johnson was not the most highly sought offensive lineman coming out of Aynor who picked the Gamecocks over schools like Vanderbilt, Duke and North Carolina...

According to the new research in the May issue of Arthritis Care and Research, exercise and weight control could keep fibromyalgia at bay. Especially among inactive women, the news study finds a link between excess weight and the pain disorder.
The researchers concluded that "Being overweight or obese was associated with an increased risk of fibromyalgia, especially among women who also reported low levels of leisure time physical exercise".
Eric Matteson, MD, chair of the department of rheumatology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn, said, "The results of this study underline the connection between exercise, obesity, and well-being. And a person who exercises and is conscious about their weight will have better health and that may include a lower risk of developing fibromyalgia".
He also added," This study shows that exercise is helpful even if you are obese. We know that people who already have fibromyalgia and exercise do far better than those people who have the disorder and don't exercise, and this study reinforces the relationship between exercise and fibromyalgia".
Kyriakos A. Kirou , MD, A rheumatologist at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City , " People who are obese or overweight develop fibromyalgia more frequently, and those people who are overweight or obese and exercise are a little better off than those who don't exercise at all. The new study reinforces the value of a healthy lifestyle which includes regular exercise, keeping your weight down, and eating healthy".

"Finalists will present their concepts to the community in a public event on March 21, 2013 at Indian River State College in Vero Beach.," said Barry.
The event will feature a "Shark Tank" analysis of the plans and ideas by a panel of experts. The winner will receive a cash award and a package of free legal, accounting and mentoring advice. The deadline to enter is Jan. 7, 2013. Participants in the competition include Indian River State College, Workforce Solutions and members of the local legal, financial and accounting community. The competition is open to companies in Indian River, Martin, St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties. Applications and information are online at www.rcbiznovation.com.
According to the latest county-by-county figures, Indian River County's unemployment rate has decreased. Whereas a decrease in the national rate has been attributed at least partly to people leaving the workforce, that is not the case here, says Indian River County Chamber of Commerce director of economic development, Helene Caseltine.
"The unemployment rate is down yet the workforce has increased in size, which means there are more jobs even with an increase in the number of people looking for them. Manufacturing companies are starting to hire again, although the pace is slow. Many of our largest employers are adding some staff. We are confident that employment in Indian River County is heading in a positive direction."
Piper Aircraft of Vero Beach has appointed BAYMAP Aviation, Ankara, Turkey, as its dealer for new aircraft sales, which will increase its presence in Southeastern Europe and Southwestern Asia. BAYMAP is a subsidiary of Korfez Aerial Survey and Engineering Ltd. Co, which is active in Turkey, Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia. BATMAP CEO, Oben Ogultarhan, is an aviation leader in his country. The company is also involved in pilot training and aircraft maintenance.

"We have been closely involved with Gifford youth for some time now and thought it would be a great way to expand on our mission to give back," said Timothy Girard, president of Girard Equipment.
Each month various organizations that enrich, educate, and entertain Indian River County youth are encouraged to fill out an application for Girard Equipment to sponsor their organization's event or cause.

Illustrator Tomi Ungerer signs at Little Island Comics on Saturday, September 8, 2012 at 2:00pm.
Press Release:
Tomi Ungerer is perhaps the most famous children's book author you have never heard of. Just over 50 years ago, Ungerer landed in New York City with only $60 in his pocket and a suitcase full of drawings. A brilliant illustrator, he became an overnight sensation. Ungerer went on to publish an astonishing 80 books in ten years, including beloved classics Moon Man, Otto, and The Three Robbers.
The Beguiling and Little Island Comics are honoured to host Tomi Ungerer for a special signing event at Little Island Comics on Saturday, September 8th, at 2pm in Little Island Comics' event space. Ungerer will be signing copies of all of his work, including his work for adults, and a wide selection of books will be available for sale at the event.
The Three Robbers in particular remains one of our favourite children's books carried at the store, and its darkly humourous message and brilliant and evocative illustrations have made it a classic for generations of parents and children since its original publication in 1962.
Tomi Ungerer is in Toronto as part of the promotional tour for the new film Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story, a documentary about his life and work screening as part of TIFF. While this film is definitely intended for an adult audience, Ungerer's work has a broad appeal and this signing is intended for readers of all ages.
Tomi Ungerer (b.1931) was born in Strasbourg, in the Alsace region of France. He moved to New York City in 1956 and instantly found success as a caricaturist, illustrator, and children's book author. As graphic artist he created advertising campaigns for Willy Brandt and The New York Times. In 1998 he was awarded the Hans Christian Anderson Award for Illustration, which is the Nobel Prize of the world of children's literature. He now divides his time between Strasbourg and Ireland.
"Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story" is a brilliant, original and highly engrossing feature-length documentary depicting the life and times of the best-selling children's author and illustrator Tomi Ungerer. This French artist's wild, lifelong adventure of testing societal boundaries through his use of subversive art and biting social satire is fully explored in this entertaining, 98-minute film which will have its North American premiere at TIFF 2012. While you may not be familiar with Ungerer or his work, you will quickly be entranced by the force of nature that is Tomi Ungerer.

Water crafts include canoes and kayaks. Choose the one that's right for you so you and your family can get the most out of your water adventures.

Canoes - Features
Types of Canoes
Round-bottom canoes are more 'tippy' but are more resistant to capsizing. Flat-bottom canoes are generally more stable, until you pass a 'tilt threshold', in which case they capsize fairly easily.
Recreational canoes are designed for everyday use on lakes and smaller bodies of water. They are made to be sturdy and will not tip over easily. They are shorter in length and often wider, which makes them easier to control. They can usually fit 2 or 3 paddlers, and won't hold a lot of gear.
Tripping or wilderness canoes are longer and made to carry a lot of gear. They are built to handle larger loads and can handle rougher water conditions. Ideal for fishing or for overnight trips, these canoes can accommodate several paddlers comfortably.
Whitewater canoes will feel unstable to a beginner but they are designed that way so that the paddler can lean over further to cut through rough waters and rapids. They often have leg or knee straps so the paddler has ultimate control. They are smaller and made for one or two individuals to navigate in wilder water.
Choose your canoe based on how many people will be using it. 14 to 16 feet is a good size for one or two paddlers. If you are planning on more than 2, or have a lot of gear, you should consider a canoe that is 16 to 18 feet in length.
You should also consider the weight of the canoe. If you are smaller or have back problems think about a lighter model. Heavier canoes may be more durable, but they are harder to portage over long distances.
Canoe Materials
Wooden canoes are the traditional choice of material, but they are pricier. They are also very delicate and can be damaged easily. You can get wood models that have some canvas imbedded in them, but they can be more easily damaged. Both of these options have the advantage of staying cooler in the hot weather.
Aluminum is also a popular material for canoes. They are inexpensive and can handle a lot of abuse. Ideal for family outings and frequent trips, they do heat up in the summer and can be chilly in the spring and autumn. They can be heavy and more difficult to portage. It should be noted that they are noisy, and when paddles are banging repeatedly against them it could take away from the serenity you were seeking.
Fibreglass canoes are affordable and moderately heavy. This is the most common material for canoes being made today. Canoes that are made with "chopped fibre" fibreglass are not as hardy as ones made with fibreglass cloth. You may end up paying more than you planned on for repairs, since they tend to develop tears.

Brad Pitt for Mayor of New Orleans? 'I Don't Have a Chance'
Brad Pitt has a giant spot reserved in his heart for the Big Easy, where he's been working tirelessly for the past few years to rebuild the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Ninth Ward. His Make It Right charity has so far funded the construction of 15 houses in the area, with 135 more planned by next year.
Pitt's heartfelt efforts, plus the fact he owns a home in the city, have made him a bona fide hero in New Orleans ... and now there's a grassroots movement to draft him for a mayoral run. "Brad Pitt for Mayor" t-shirts have sprung up all around NOLA, with the logo bearing a flattering shot of the actor and bold type.
In a 'Today' interview aired on Thursday, Pitt was asked if he'd serve. "Yeah, yeah," he told Ann Curry, but snarkily detailed some of the items on his platform that would more than likely sink his bid.
"I'm running on the gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana platform. I don't have a chance." Watch:
Curry pressed on whether he'd seriously run for office, and Pitt conceded "it's not what I do best."
The "Brad Pitt for Mayor" movement is the brainchild of Dr. Thomas M. Bayer of nearby Tulane University and the site Storyville sells the t-shirts, with all proceeds going to Make It Right. Bayer lists 13 reasons Pitt should be Mayor of the city, including his draw for the tourism industry and the simple fact that Angelina Jolie would be the First Lady of New Orleans.

Why do we focus on the the things that doesn't matter, after all at least this man is making good on his promises and seeing them through. Name someone else living down there who is doing the same. Almost all the ones who stay there whose supposedly helping are crooks anyway. So maybe it's better he does live somewhere else.

The first thing out of his mouth was he is for gay marriage. Angelina was a lesbian.....so???

- Thursday 13 AugustBy Honey84720
Brad Pitt would be a much better mayor than Nagin that is certain. But I agree with Majorie, I hope Harry Connick Jr. would run instead. Nagin should have NEVER been re-elected, he's a joke. New Orleans definitely needs a change for the better.

- Thursday 13 AugustBy Dorkchic
Not being religious does not automatically mean you are a communist, facist, or any other ist for that matter. Way to leap to conclusions and make yourself look like an alarmist idiot. Maybe he is just a firm believer in the separation of church and state... you know, like it says in our (non-communist) Constitution.

R U KIDDING? Surely Angie Baby would tell him what to do. He can't think for himself....

Brad, wise move on knowing you could not get elected. I disagree with all of your platform. However, keep doing good work and I appreciate and respect your honesty. Although we disagree on everything I will say you are too hororable to be a politician.
- Sunday 16 AugustBy Del
I agree with you Spike. I don't agree with any of the items on his platform, especially the gay marriage portion, but he does do good work and doesn't deserve to be badmouthed here in this forum.
He's a good guy, and a good actor. He does great work to help New Orleans out and I hope he keeps it up.

I have a Gainward 660GT VIVO card, and I am having some tv-out problems.
VIVO WDM driver 4.13, forceware 81.98. All seems to work.
When I connect my s-video out to the tv svideo in, I have no problem with colour rendition.
However, when I connect my composite-out connector to the tv composite-in, I get no colour rendition. In the drivers, when I choose the type of output to give to the tv (in right-click the tv in "Nview Display Settings", select tv format, advanced) from auto-detect to composite, I get a half-second of color after clicking Apply - Okay before the tv screen blanks and stays blank. Upon returning to autodetect, the tv display comes back and is colourless. The monitor is unaffected.
My tv signal type (secam/pal/ntsc etc) is matched on the tv to the output from the card.
I can check using the vivo functions that I have colour on the s-video, and no colour on composite. I can give you screenshots if you like.
On bootup, the composite out gives full colour from bios through to the XP logo, through to the point where the drivers initialise and the desktop is rendered. From that point it is colourless.
I have my doubts that it is a user issue, as I have triple checked my cabling, and it has worked for other computers (I have a laptop with a GF2Go in).
Is there a known bug in which there is no output over the composite-out when composite is chosen exclusively? Is there a seperate bug where there is no colour information given out over the composite-out under auto-detect or s-video out?
What more information is required to troubleshoot or check?
The card bios is 5.43.02.36.00, GeForce 6600GT (AGP), 128Mb, VIVO.
I am using XP service pack 2 (32bit) on an Athlon64 3000+ on an NForce3 motherboard.
I can use the VIVO functions for test and I also have a small tv that autodetects the colour type (pal/ntsc etc) with composite in.
Re: 6600gt vivo, colour and tv out issues.
bump - has anyone else with these drivers come across this issue of no signal on composite when composite is chosen in the advanced tv-format menu, and no colour on composite when auto is chosen?
Re: 6600gt vivo, colour and tv out issues.
Have you tried the 77.77 drivers? The 80.XX drivers have some issues with a blue tint
Re: 6600gt vivo, colour and tv out issues.
i'll try them this evening.
Re: 6600gt vivo, colour and tv out issues.
77.77 drivers have the same problems.
No colour on any tv protocol on composite with autoselection of output type, and no viewable signal on composite with output type set at composite.
I got the same momentary full-colour view as the output switched upon applicaion of settings.
Note: all the time, on boot, I get proper colour output until the drivers activate. Odd!
Over the next few days I'll try various flavours of driver to see where it stops working.
I think it has to be a driver bug. Where would I report this?

School: Notre Dame | Position: TE | Height: 6040 | Weight: 260 | Forty: 4.59 | Class: 2015
Hometown: Oil City, PA | Year: Senior | Projection: 3rd Round | Pro Comparisons: Owen Daniels/John Carlson/Anthony Fasano/Jake Ballard
- Well-rounded tight end who is a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Has been asked to line up at end, split out wide, h-back, fullback, often runs in motion prior to the snap—has done everything the coaching staff has asked him to do and has done it well.
- Excellent finishing blocker who knows how to seal holes and gives max effort every play. Equally impressive in pass block, run block and blocking in space.
- Great hands. Makes the big play catch. Can run the seam, come down with jump balls in the end zone and shows an upside to evolving as a pass catcher. Above average athleticism.
- Strong fundamentals. Good hand placement, pad level, footwork mechanics. Solid route-runner. Understands his job assignments and responsibilities.
- Leadership. Has made it a personal priority to spend extra time with his underclassmen teammates to help groom them along.
- Unfortunately, despite possessing all the necessary tools to be a top-level tight end, he has never been able to put it all together. Was beaten out for the starting tight end job three years in a row (Tyler Eifert/Troy Niklas).
- Needs to turn his flashes into steady, consistent performance. Has been underwhelming since being tabbed a blue chip prospect/number one tight end in the nation coming out of high school.
"I think that just the way he's coming every day, prepared, ready to go, watching the film before we watch the film as a unit, talking to the guys, talking to [sophomore tight end] Mike Heuerman, going out and eating with those guys, and just showing them how to be Notre Dame football players, and specifically Notre Dame tight ends, and the expectations that are put on us on a day-in, day-out basis, so in all those facets, he's been doing a better job, and he'll continue to grow." --Notre Dame Tight End Coach Scott Booker

Serge Ibaka tied his career-best with 25 points and grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-93 Monday night to maintain sole possession of the best record in the NBA. The Thunder took control with a string of 11 straight points during the third quarter, punctuated by Nick Collison's putback that made it 71-56 with 4:27 remaining in the period. On the next possession, Ibaka ripped away his third straight offensive rebound before heading toward midcourt and flexing his muscles. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich kept his starters parked on the bench throughout the fourth quarter, even as San Antonio cut an 18-point lead in half with about 5 1/2 minutes left. Tony Parker and Nando De Colo had 14 points apiece to lead the Spurs, who could have created a virtual tie for the best record with a win.

text: Maryland sophomore big man Alex Len arrived at the NBA draft combine on crutches, unable to participate in any drills and limited to being a spectator after having surgery to stabilize a partial stress fracture in his left ankle. The injury might have affected Len's stock in the draft, since he won't be able to walk freely until around the time some team selects him on June 27 at Barclays Center. Len took off his cast and got stitches removed from his foot three days ago. He won't be fully recovered until the regular season begins but remains confident about what he will be able to accomplish on the next level.

Countless number of patients pass through the emergency room doors every year and fall under the care of its nurses, doctors and staff.
"I enjoy participating with my local hospital because it's a way of giving back to the community," said Heather Swartz, a registered nurse in Little Falls Hospital's emergency room.
Today starts Emergency Room Nurses Week, so The Times spoke with Rebecca Akers at Little Falls Hospital on Tuesday. Akers, who has her bachelor's degree in nursing from SUNY Plattsburgh, recently took over as the nursing manager in the hospital's ER unit, coming from Albany Medical Center where she worked as an assistant manager in the ER unit.
"It's a nice small community," she said of working in Little Falls. "It's the kind of group of people here in the hospital. It feels like a good fit."
Why does she like being an ER nurse?
It's the dynamics that take place every single day. It's the unknown possibility of what's going to come through that door next ... I kind of like living on the edge.
What are the challenges to being an ER nurse?
Meeting the needs of the acutely ill, but also taking care of the lesser injuries ... balancing that and making sure everyone is being cared for in a timely manner, it's like a dance of sorts.
What is your staff size?
There are over 20 nurses who work in the Little Falls ER, with up to five nurses present during a shift. This does not include doctors, patient care technicians, clerical workers and other staff.
What sort of education does an ER nurse need to have?
On top of attaining either an associate's, bachelor's or master's degree in nursing, an ER nurse needs to have certification in trauma nurse corp curriculum. There are also other specialty curriculums ER nurses can be certified for.
How many patients do you see?
About 50 a day, about 350 a week.
Common injuries seen in the ER?
Head and limb injuries from children not wearing bike helmets or protective gear.
When are you busiest?
Evenings, weekends and holidays.
"Keep calm and carry on."
A poster on Akers desk reads that and she said it has become her motto as a ER nurse.
"Nothing gets better when you get stressed out about it," she said.
How will you celebrate ER nurses week?
Akers said she will make sure her staff has plenty to eat.
Page 2 of 2 - "We'll celebrate with food," she said.

I second that.-HuangLee
- Agreed! Copy the info to a new page (say Vehicle Duplication Tactic?), reword it so it doesn't just apply to the Infernus or just to GTA IV and then make the links. I would do it myself, but just when I thought I had alot more spare time, I'm pretty busy again. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 03:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Newtown, Conn. Students Are Granted A Waiver On Exams
By editor
Originally published on Thu March 7, 2013 2:08 pm
The student victims of the Connecticut school shooting rampage that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead in December have been granted an unprecedented one-time waiver on taking standardized tests.
"The state Board of Education and state lawmakers voted Wednesday to approve measures allowing Newtown children in grades 3 through 8 to skip the Connecticut Mastery Tests that are being administered statewide this month."
Officials with the U.S. Department of Education OKd the waiver earlier this week.
The Connecticut Mirror reports that the tests are required by federal "No Child Left Behind" laws.

Kristen Stewart has dropped out of dark romance Cali, and somehow we have mixed feelings about her exiting a film where she would have played the runaway victim of a fictional snuff film. "She is so distraught over Rob that she can't focus on anything but getting him back," a source claimed to Celebuzz, explaining, "She's lost all interest in work and the projects that she was so passionate about just two weeks ago." While we're dubious of claims that KStew is letting her professional life collapse due to problems in her personal one, the timing does suggest the cheating scandal played a part. Amber Heard and Carey Mulligan are already rumored as potential replacements in the movie, but we're still wrestling over Kristen's decision to leave. We tried to break down all the mixed emotions that come with her bailing on the film:
- Stewart has taken a string of moody roles: vampire teen bride, princess pursued by a homicidal queen, beatnik teen bride, teen prostitute…you've seen her IMDB page. Maybe Cali wouldn't have been the best next step in her career. Maybe it's time for Kristen to mix it up a little and play a goofy girl detective or a young Hillary Rodham Clinton.
- Alex Pettyfer doesn't exactly have a reputation as a cooperative co-star, so…bullet dodged?
- Kristen might need a break from the limelight, y'all!
On the other hand…
- Girl's gotta get paid! Can't be dropping out of roles that pay good money, babies!
- Amber Heard and Carey Mulligan are great actresses, but they are no Kristen Stewart.
What do you think? Was Kristen wise to give herself some time, or does her bailing out of a movie portend doom (for her career, that is)?

2560x1600 from HDMI. Redirect DFP-0 ?
I have an HP HDX9494 laptop with a Geforce 8800 GTS in it.
I want to drive a 2560x1600 display via the HDMI port.
It appears that the internal display is driven by DFP-0, which is a dual link interface, which has a maximum pixel rate of 330 MHz.
The HDMI port is driven by DFP-1, which is a single link interface. It has a maximum pixel rate of 165 MHz, which is insufficient to drive a 2560x1600 display.
Is there any way to connect the output of DFP-0 to the HDMI port or otherwise drive a 2560x1600 monitor ?
Re: 2560x1600 from HDMI. Redirect DFP-0 ?
Re: 2560x1600 from HDMI. Redirect DFP-0 ?
You might want to check out the specs on HDMI 1.3.
"HDMI 1.3 was released June 22, 2006 and increased the single-link bandwidth to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbit/s).[42][2][103] It optionally supports Deep Color, with 30-bit, 36-bit and 48-bit xvYCC, sRGB, or YCbCr, compared to 24-bit sRGB or YCbCr in previous HDMI versions."
"Maximum resolution over single link at 24-bit/px[b] <snip> 2560×1600p75"
Re: 2560x1600 from HDMI. Redirect DFP-0 ?
I am double posted this here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...59#post2416459
Re: 2560x1600 from HDMI. Redirect DFP-0 ?
Re: 2560x1600 from HDMI. Redirect DFP-0 ?
Apparently I replied to the double post. If you really want to try to make this work, you can try creating a modeline that underclocks the refresh rate so that you can drive the resolution you want and stay under the 165 MHz pixel clock limit. Make sure to set option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" so that the driver won't try to match your mode against existing modes from the EDID. There's no guarantee that your display would actually be able to display this mode, and obviously your refresh rate would suffer, but it might be worth a shot.
The following modelines for 2560x1600 @ 30 Hz both come in at under 165 MHz:
bash-3.2$ gtf 2560 1600 30

Peppered Chicken With Demi Glace Sauce
|Whole peppercorns
|1 1⁄2 Teaspoon (Tri- Color / Black)
|Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
|1 Pound (4 In Number, 1/4 Pound Each)
|3⁄8 Teaspoon (1/4 Plus 1/8 Teaspoon)

|Dijon mustard
|1 Tablespoon
1 Place the peppercorns in a zip-close plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet, crack the peppercorns.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 1/12/13
Updated by Joe D. on 1/12 at 10:00 AM A team source tells the NY Post: "Those were some big names," one source said of the deal Upton nixed because Seattle is part of his no-trade clause. "There were some quality arms. I don't see us moving in that direction if that's what they're asking for and almost got." Like I was saying last night… Updated by Joe D. on 1/11 at 3:00 PM So all of a sudden the Mets could be looking to do something significant at the major league level. If true, it would be a first for Alderson since he got here. After Justin Upton gave the thumbs down on the potential Seattle deal, rumors abound that the Mets are reengaging Arizona on the 25 year old star. The Mets had previously attempted to make a play for Upton earlier in the offseason, but poor Sandy passed out cold when he heard the asking price and had to be revived. Apparently after some time to contemplate, Sandy's had some second thoughts and could make a play for him… and then again he could not. It all...

Welp, The Bristol County District Attorney's office has announced that Aaron Hernandez's girlfriend Shayanna Jenkins has been charged with perjury. Shayanna is accused of lying to the grand jury that eventually indicted Hernandez for first-degree murder. The DA has cited documents and text messages as evidence. Investigators believe Jenkins knows the whereabouts of the gun used to kill Odin Lloyd. During Hernandez's indictment, prosecutors mentioned that at one point Jenkins was cooperating with police but suddenly stopped. A grand jury has indicted Aaron Hernandez's girlfriend, Shayana Jenkins, on a single charge of perjury in the murder case. — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) September 27, 2013 And Aaron Hernandez's cousin, Tanya Singleton, has been indicted on Conspiracy to Commit Accessory After the Fact charges. — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) September 27, 2013 Also indicted, Hernandez's cousin Tanya Singelton was charged with conspiracy to accessory after the fact, for her role in helping Ernest Wallace flee the state after Lloyd's murder. She's accused of driving him to Georgia, then buying him a bus ticket to Florida. In related news, one of Hernandez's alleged accomplices, Carlos Ortiz, was indicted on a count of accessory to murder after the fact. The other accused accomplice, Ernest Wallace pleaded not guilty on Thursday to a similar charge. Ladies, keep thinking that ride or die lifestyle is the way to go. You have a child and are now facing jail time. That doesn't sound like "the life" to me.

Thanks for showing us your process, always enjoyed your colorings and such. Man, you make it look so easy.. if only it was.
March 16th, 2004 #4
Cool! Thanks for showing this! It's very helpful to see the process you use.
One question though, I can see that you're building values with brush strokes, but do you simply blur them when you're happy or go over with a very low opacity brush to make the colouring seem more smooth?
March 16th, 2004 #5
What can I say that hasn't already been said about your work? Fantastic coloring.:chug:
March 16th, 2004 #6
Very helpful stuff, thanks. I had the same question as Dave though. I am curious as to what method you are using for smoothing the values. I can think of maybe a large blurring tool or even using the smudge tool with short strokes to merely have the colors blend...but do tell if there is a more efficient or better way to do it.
