Super Meat Boy is nothing short of a getting-hopped-up-on-drugs-and-having-your-teeth-kicked-in-by-a-horse experience. Sure it's painful, but that doesn't stop you from laughing, or really even enjoying it. This charming little 2D platformer is all about a good challenge, and just in general being hilarious. During the few hours it took me to complete Super Meat Boy, I would go from angry at the world to giddy with excitement in about 10 seconds, and back again. The levels are so fast paced and short (and the deaths so frequent) that you really just keep going at 100 miles an hour until you decide to take a break, and that works all in Super Meat Boy's favor.
What really makes this game good as a video game is the extremely tight control you have over your character Meat Boy, the crazy level designs and traps that never relent, and just the simple nature of: get from A to B without getting demolished. Unfortunately, there are probably hundreds of games that can say the same thing, or at least something similar. What ends up setting Super Meat Boy apart from the pack is that all of those things are piled on top of a hilarious and charming product in general. You play as a walking pile of meat with a ridiculous toothy grin who is trying to save his girlfriend Bandage Girl (???) from the evil Dr. Fetus. Yes, the enemy of this game is an unborn child with a penchant for doing evil things.
When you combine the characters and gameplay with the midi-style music, hidden levels, cast of unlockable characters from other random indie games, and that daunting challenge of attaining 100% completion, Super Meat Boy really transforms from a game that people will play for free straight off the internet to a really complete package worth a solid purchase. While it may not really be doing anything that hasn't been done before, and it's difficulty may be prohibitive to some people, Super Meat Boy is still a solid package and something people should consider if they want a brutal challenge cleverly inserted into a simple game.

Thanks Sander, I think we are on same track!
Good you added the problemes with air bubbles, forgot that!
And yes, I also think I normally use somewhat more solution than just above the film, I think I end up at 550, perhaps even 600 ml,
Your formulation: "2. make sure the tank is big enough to allow all developer to clear the film when the tank is fully inverted," points to why filling up the tank with rolls of film will give you problems, the "up going" airbubbles that manufactures talk about when inverting the tank is just not enough!
You also confirm my hesitaion about two rolls in 1 liter Paterson tank, even though it has a big mouth, but probably will not fulfill your point 2 which is most important.
I can also add that the rotating drum Jobo system (like my CPE-2) gives overdeveloped edges on 120-film. I try to avoid that by regularly inverting the drum during the development process, and it seems to work well for my C-41 developing process.
Best regards

The art team discusses the creation of the NPC rat...
Posted by realmsource on Jan 18th, 2013
Welcome back to our art blog!
As you may know we are currently working on the BIOME update which will introduce new terrain generation, trees and grass into your realms. From the art production side of things we are already working on the next NPC update to get all the art delivered by the time Matt, Charlie and Kyle will be ready to start another hard programming sprint.
All of the characters in our game are interchangeable and can be enemies you need to kill, quest givers, friendly NPCs or players. For example if you are hosting your own server you are able to set all players to be rats and cats fighting humans or even have sheep crafting swords at the blacksmith. We plan to provide the ability to completely customize your realms!
Such ideas force us to make a default animation set for each character. In other games a basic quest giver NPC has about 3-4 animations: standing still, talking and maybe an alternative standing or gesturing animation. This animation set covers all the regular game needs. This is not enough for our purpose! Our default animation set includes all basic moves (walks, runs, attacks and many more). From 7 to 10 animations total. Yes, we do more work, but the realms freedom grows exponentially with each new character.
Recently we finished a very small Rat character. It's main idea is to be easy to kill, fast and cute enough to give quests if required
During the rat production we had a "fur concern". Usually to make fur look more natural devs make a number of small planes with a transparent fur texture. The other way is to make fur via bumping material. We decided to proceed with the bumping material fur due to the character size in game. Transparent fur planes are great and we will use them on bigger animals, like deer or cat. Oops, looks like I've revealed more plans than I was allowed to...
The bind pose used for the rat was not a regular standing four leg animal, but standing on two feet with front legs in the air. It was also done intentionally to avoid bad deformations on straight legs poses. Skinning character in such a pose gives us the ability to make bent leg poses as well as any other natural pose possible.
This shot shows how the bumping material works in game.
With the model finished and textured we move to the skin and animation phases. Here the life is added into the character. Here is our final version of the rat animation set.
The animation process usually begins with only animation names. Then we discuss how each animation will look in general. Base moves, directions and speeds go to the animator. Our animators are able to change the animation if they have a better idea. Every team member has the ability to affect and improve the final game asset. It gives just wonderful results while simultaneously increasing the team happiness.
Making animations was very exciting. Basic runs and walks could be easily created with a ton of video references but the fun begins with attacks. As we basically play a human character in Realm Explorer and the rat is 8-10 times smaller, all the standard front leg hooks and hits wouldn't be seen by the player. In-place bites also didn't have the dangerous feeling we wanted. Our goal was to create a small cute looking rat but with fast and furious attacks. That is why we decided it to make quick and very long jumps during attacks, so the player won't have much time to react. He would probably will want to kill the rat before it attacks.
The current video covers the base walk and run animations. You will be able to see all of them in the upcoming Realm Explorer NPC patch which is planned for February.
A lot more details and new stuff is on the way. Next time I would like to show off some really cool humanoid NPC setups for Realm Explorer. We have a lot of ideas, including cutting off parts from mobs and adjusting their behavior accordingly. Our undead will do all they can and even more trying to kill your character...

Looks like great.
Very nice, can't wait to see the next npc. Although shouldn't you finish the player character first? Last I looked you couldn't see them while creating them, and customization doesn't actually do anything yet. I'm not telling you what to do of course, just saying that finishing what you currently have should be priority over adding new things shouldn't it?
We've completely revamped the player body including new customization options. The new player body will be in the next patch. We are finishing up the new hair styles as well. The customization UI will be revamped in the near future (along with all of the other UI).
This rat was actually completed over a month ago. We have a team working on the game so we can do more than one thing at a time :)
Ah alright, I forget that indie games have teams sometimes :P I seen the new pictures showing the new hairstyle customization and I am just as impressed as I was with the mouse, can't wait.
Oh god, this will be the next big hit for furries XD
Shhhh! Don't say things like that!
Nicely done
Nicely done
So we can switch between first and third person, right?
Also, can the player character be customized as a woman?
Thank for your answers! This game looks very promising.
You can switch between first and third person using the TAB key.
We have female characters but the aren't fully integrated into the game yet. We are working on revamping the male character right now and setting up the character customization UI and will add the female characters in after we've had a chance to upgrade them to our current standards.
Great! At least, a third person sandbox game welcoming female gamers! :)
The graphics are very good, the building customization possibilities seems huge, and it's a good change to have friendly, or at least non-threatening NPCs.
My first incentive for buying this game is to build and visualize the feudal fantasy cities I have to create for my books (hopefully with male and female, green skinned NPCs standing behind their counters, saying a few lines, included).
Which brings me to this question: may I be able to build something like that with Realm Explorer by the time it's in gold stage?
There will be major improvements to creating buildings (as opposed to terraforming the terrain) in future releases.

Smith is just fighting for the money at this point. He obviously doesn't want to do this and he was never *that* great at it, unfortunately.

I dont mean to sound disrespectful to smith. He went through some wars for strikeforce when they were still growing and I hope they take care of him for all the wear and tear they put on him but god damn does Smith need to find better gameplans.

Toggle Switch Wrench for tightening the round nut on toggle switches. Metric and Standard ends. Black.
Both ends that actually torque the toothed nut for toggle switches is made of plastic and I can imagine with time will strip. The advantage is of this is it will not mar or scratch the finish of the nickel, black, chrome, or gold plating. It is still a worth while product but I was disappointed with how each side was labeled. One side has a sticker (with poor adhesive) that indicates whether it fits Metric or Inch. They were falling off straight from the package. I scratched "M" on the according side for Metric and "I" for inch on the opposing side. It's a negligible annoyance and doesn't really affect the tool. All in all it works well and that is what's most important. Good tool.
doesn't work on any of my Gibsons, wrong sizes. I'll have to keep looking for the right tool I guess.
Seems like a perfectly good tool for what it's supposed to do. However, I only have one guitar that I might use it on and unfortunately, neither end fits it. I'll keep it around in my toolbox as I'll probably have use for it another day. All in all it's inexpensive and probably worth having around.

Railway special events approaching
Gonyo reported that the special rail trips featuring the historic Leviathan steam-engine locomotive were now being planned for one weekend — Saturday Sept. 14 and Sunday Sept. 15 — rather than two.
The similar Leviathan trips once scheduled for the prior weekend were cancelled due to problems in getting the locomotive to upstate New York, he said. The Leviathan excursions feature an 82-mile round trip from Corinth to North Creek, complimentary beverages and snacks on train, a barbecue lunch in North Creek, and admission to the North Creek Depot Museum.
The weekend of Sept. 14-15 is being celebrated in North Creek as the Teddy Roosevelt Weekend, including Joe Wiegand impersonating the 26th U.S. president, arts and trades demonstrations, tours, period musical entertainment, and "Rough Rider" pony rides. The two-day event also includes re-enactments of Roosevelt's famous boarding of the train at North Creek hours before he assumed the presidency.
Gonyo also announced that the railway's Saratoga Dinner Train excursions set for the three last Tuesday evenings in August were attracting dozens of reservations soon after being announced. For details, see: www.SNCRR.com or call: 877-726-7245.

Letter to the Editor: Legal ways to immigrate
CORPUS CHRISTI - It's Sunday morning and I just read Tono's walk from the front page of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. It was a well0written article concerning a tragedy that occurred as a Mexican citizen tried to illegally enter the United States. I am the proud offspring of an American citizen of Spanish decent and an English mother. My father 's family came to the new world from Spain and received Spanish land grants in both Rio Grande City and Roma. Later my father married my mother when he was stationed in England while serving our great country in the Air Force. My father returned to the United States with a wife and son.

2011 Triple Crown Preview – Archarcharch
- Updated: May 4, 2011
Up and down and all around. That's been the story with Archarcharch for his entire career. He has run a ton of races by three year old standards nowadays, but he has had some awfully mixed results, including a few ugly ones. He's a hot horse right now and just came off of a big time upset at the Arkansas Derby, so Archarcharch could be one to watchwatchwatch.
3-1-1, 6 Races
Arkansas Derby
Rebel Stakes
Smarty Jones
Sugar Bowl
1 1/8
1 1/16
|End Result
The combination of training William Fires and Jon Court are incredibly unknown around these parts at Churchill Downs, as neither one has ever even run a horse here. The two are relatives, as Court is the son in law of Fires. These are Arkansas born and bred horse racing fans, and it should come as no surprise that Archarcharch ran through the Arkansas circuit at Oaklawn Park.
In an ideal world, Court likely keeps Archarcharch just off the pace and will try to make a move with him at the wire. He really hasn't shown excellent speed at any particular junction of the race, but we did see him make a major move at the end of the Arkansas Derby to take down a field that included Triple Crown contender, Nehro. He didn't look particularly sharp in a third place finish at the Rebel Stakes either back in March, but Archarcharch was going against a field of colts that was pretty darn special that day, especially if The Factor ends up turning into anything down the line.
The one thing that we do notice right away with Archarcharch is that most recent test on the Churchill Downs track that he had. He just did a half mile in 0:52 flat on the slop on Tuesday, and if he can keep that type of a pace up in these conditions, which aren't supposed to be ideal to say the least for the Run for the Roses, maybe this underdog has a chance.
Archarcharch was purchased for just $60,000 at one year old, and he has really been considered an underdog basically everywhere that he has gone. This horse might be the complete unknown, but with a favorable draw and a clean start, Court could be taking Archarcharch from a no name to the biggest name that the sport has to offer in just over two minutes.

It has been a rough year for the hedge-fund business. The investing public seems to increasingly view the industry with a mixture of suspicion and derision, questioning the ability of the average hedge-fund manager to outperform the market and justify big fees. A recent Bloomberg Businessweek cover captured the growing disconnect between the industry's mythic investment prowess and its actual performance. Nevertheless, some legendary investors, such as Leon Cooperman and Carl Icahn, can still move markets. And several of them will be gathered Wednesday at the Delivering Alpha conference in New York, one of the most high-profile annual gatherings of hedge-fund titans. Last year's conference produced some big winners and a few duds. Here's a look back at the highlights.
A look back at the 2012 conference shows the hedge fund titans offered some winning bets. But if there was a star of the show, it was Leon Cooperman, the founder of Omega Advisors. The hedge fund veteran staked out the bullish case for 10 stocks (see table). All are in the black over the past 12 months, with nine posting double-digit percentage gains. The biggest gainer is newspaper chain and television-station operator Gannett Co. Inc. GCI, -6.91% which has soared 85% in the last 12 months, while Actavis Inc. US:ACT has rallied more than 63%. Everybody knows that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, but no doubt Cooperman will have investors' attention when he takes the stage again this year. But Cooperman isn't infallible. He also told the conference last summer that a Mitt Romney victory in the November presidential election would push the S&P 500 SPX, -0.03% up 150 points, while an Obama re-election would leave the market to "drift lower." Since the Nov. 6 election, the S&P 500 has risen about 254 points.
If last year's picks left Cooperman looking good overall, Jim Chanos, the founder and president of Kynikos Associates, is licking his wounds. Chanos told the crowd last July that Hewlett-Packard HPQ, +0.56% represented "the ultimate value trap," charging that the computer maker was hiding research and development spending through acquisitions that were destroying the value of the company. Since then, Hewlett-Packard has gained around 39%.
At last year's Delivering Alpha, there was plenty of enthusiasm about housing. Blackstone Group Inc.'s Jonathan Gray, global head of real estate at Blackstone, noted at the time that the firm was snapping up houses--2,000 for $300 million, according to Institutional Investor. And to hear him tell it, Blackstone Real Estate isn't done. Gray told CNBC last week that it still has $10 billion available for investment on top of a portfolio made up of 31,000 homes valued at $5 billion. The latest data from CoreLogic showed home prices in May posted the fastest year-over-year growth since 2006.
No question, it has been a tough year for Bill Ackman, brash chief executive of Pershing Square Capital Management. J.C. Penney Co. Inc. JCP, -1.16% in which Pershing Square holds an 18% stake, is down 14% year-to-date. Herbalife Ltd. HLF, +0.20% which he famously shorted, is up more than 7% year-to-date. And there was that nasty, televised spat with Carl Icahn. But Ackman's appearance at last year's Delivering Alpha saw him talking up the prospects of Procter & Gamble Co. PG, +0.26% which has enjoyed a tidy 25% rise over the last 12 months. Pershing Square accumulated around 28 million shares of the consumer products company. Ackman's not listed as a participant in this year's Delivering Alpha, but he's likely to be on the minds of attendees as he reportedly raises funds for a special purpose vehicle that will aim to buy a stake in a large U.S. company.
It's a safe bet Abenomics--the headlong effort by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe--to reflate Japan's long-stagnant economy--will be in focus Wednesday. Last summer, the overseas emphasis remained squarely on the euro zone. If there was a consensus, it was that euro-zone policy makers would continue to "muddle through" and that the euro EURUSD, +0.2616% would survive. Jane Mendillo, CEO of Harvard Management Company, which manages Harvard University's endowment fund, last July noted that many investors were "lined up for distressed credit in Europe," according to a summary of the conference. A couple of weeks later, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi pledged to do "whatever it takes" within the ECB's mandate to save the euro, setting the stage for the crafting of the OMT program, which helped fuel a big rally in government debt across the most highly stressed portions of the euro zone.

Bitmap files (extension ".bmp") are quite space consuming. I suggest you convert them into ".jpg" files with "Paint" (programs - accessories) or "Corel Photo Paint".
The resulting files will be smaller, which means they will use less memory and disk, and load quicker.
In any of the above mentioned tools:
- Open the .bmp file
- Select the file
- Save As: choose the .jpg file extension explicitly
Your file is now considerably smaller in size and can be read/edited by other appropriate software, for instance Microsoft Photo Editor.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. HistoryThe cult of the Harvesters of Eyes was led by Vera Gemini, who was half human and half demon. She led them to bring about Xenogenesis, in which a race of demons would come back and conquer Earth. She managed to gain possession of Doctor Strange's Eye of Agamotto in order to do so.They succeeded, temporarily, and the demons were brought to our plane. They killed all the cult members as they arrived. Gemini manipulated the demons and took control of them herself. They were eventually defeated by the Defenders and returned to their dimension.Description of the CultThe demons' plane is almost all matter, and no empty space. One of their leaders is Belathauzer.The cult is very hierarchical, and everyone has a rank. One such rank is Agent of Fortune. Another rank is Reaper of Souls, or assassin. They trained Devil-Slayer to be their Reaper, but he rebelled and later fought against the group.

Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that 2014 NHL Draft prospect Robby Fabbri of the Guelph Storm is the OHL Player of the Week for the playoff week ending April 13 after recording seven points in three games including four goals and three assists with a plus-minus rating of plus-5.
Fabbri helped lead the Storm to a five-game series win over the London Knights in the OHL's Western Conference Semi-Finals with three multi-point performances last week. He scored two goals including the game-winner as first star of the Storm's 4-2 victory on the road in Game 3 of the series last Tuesday night, then picked up a goal and two assists on Thursday as third star of the 6-3 victory in Game 4. Leading the series 3-1 and playing on home ice in Game 5 on Friday, Fabbri scored the game-tying goal and assisted on Scott Kosmachuk's game-winner to lift the Storm to a 5-4 victory. The Storm will now play in the Rogers Western Conference Championship Series where they will look to capture the Wayne Gretzky Trophy for the first time since 2004 up against the Erie Otters beginning on Thursday night in Guelph.
Fabbri, an 18-year-old from Mississauga, ON, is playing in his second OHL season with the Storm. Selected sixth overall in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection, Fabbri is now a top NHL Draft prospect eligible in 2014 and listed 21st overall by NHL Central Scouting in their Final Draft Rankings released last week. Fabbri has nine points in six playoff games after finishing tied for 14th in league scoring during the regular season with 45 goals and 42 assists for 87 points in 58 games played.
Watch highlights of Fabbri and the Storm against the Knights in Game 3, Game 4, and Game 5.
Also considered for the award this week was New Jersey Devils prospect Ben Thomson of the North Bay Battalion who scored four goals and one assist for five points in the final four games of the OHL's Eastern Conference Semi-Finals victory over the Barrie Colts. Also in the East, Vancouver Canucks prospect Cole Cassels scored three goals in two games for the Oshawa Generals who defeated the Peterborough Petes in four straight games. In goal, 2014 NHL Draft prospect Devin Williams backstopped the Erie Otters to a four-game series win over the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds with two victories last week including one shutout with a goals-against-average of 0.94 and save percentage of .968.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Thanks to Arian Foster, the Houston Texans are still undefeated -- but very nearly let this one slip away.Foster ran for 152 yards and a touchdown, and the Texans stayed unbeaten by defeating the New York Jets for the first time in team history, hanging on for a 23-17 victory Monday night.With a chance to lead the Jets on a winning drive, Mark Sanchez was intercepted by Kareem Jackson on a pass that tipped off the hands of Jeff Cumberland with 1:51 remaining."You got to give yourself a chance to win and we did that tonight," Sanchez said.The Texans (5-0) joined the Atlanta Falcons as the NFL's only teams without a loss."Arian stepped up and played huge," quarterback Matt Schaub said.

La traviata, opera in three acts by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi (libretto in Italian by Francesco Maria Piave) that premiered in Venice at La Fenice opera house on March 6, 1853. Based upon the 1852 play by Alexandre Dumas fils (La Dame aux camélias), the opera marked a large step forward for Verdi in his quest to express dramatic ideas in music. La traviata means "the fallen woman" or "the one who goes astray" and refers to the main character, Violetta Valéry, a courtesan. The opera features some of the most challenging and revered music in the entire soprano repertoire; the aria "
Sempre libera" at the end of Act I is especially well known.
Background and context
Dumas, in his novel of 1848 and the play based on it, recalls an actual "lady of pleasure" (the scandalous Marie Duplessis) whom he had known and adored. Like Violetta in the opera, Duplessis had conquered Parisian society with her wit, charm, and beauty, but her reign was a brief one—she died of tuberculosis in 1847 at age 23. Verdi attended the play in 1852 in Paris, where he was spending the winter. The composer had already read the novel and had begun to conceive of an opera based on the story. La Fenice had been clamouring for a new work; although the theatre would supply funding and performers, Verdi was afraid its singers would not do the opera justice. He was right. Of the primary cast members, only the soprano who played Violetta (Fanny Salvini-Donatelli) was adequate as a singer. Unfortunately, she was 38 years old and overweight. When La traviata premiered, audience members openly mocked the idea that she could possibly be a desirable courtesan, let alone one wasting away from tuberculosis. Verdi called the night a fiasco, yet he did not allow himself to be overly distressed, writing to a conductor friend, "I do not think that the last word on La traviata was uttered last night." Within two months he was vindicated: the revival that opened May 6, 1853, at the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice, with more suitable singers and a few small revisions in the score, was an unqualified success.
La traviata's subject and setting were novel for opera in the middle of the 19th century. The scale is intimate and bourgeois, not heroic or noble. The heroine is a fallen woman who earns redemption through sacrifice—a notion that was somewhat risqué at the time—although not forbidden by censors. Verdi was adamant that the opera be set in the present day (that is, the 1850s), with modern costumes. Opera companies would not comply, insisting on setting the story in the early 18th century. (The first performance set in the period Verdi specified took place in 1906, after Verdi's death and well after the setting could be called contemporary.)
More than other Italian opera composers of the time, Verdi unified the music and underscored the drama through the use of techniques such as repeated phrases (Violetta's "
Ah, fors'è lui" echoes Alfredo's declaration of love and continues as a love theme), instrumentation (high violins underscore Violetta's character from the overture onward), coloratura ornamentation that reflects Violetta's agitation (thus justifying what otherwise can seem empty virtuosity), and musical continuity (through blurring the line between recitative and aria).
During Verdi's lifetime La traviata was one of the most frequently performed of all operas, and it has continued to be through to the present. The story feels immediate, and the melodies are beautiful. Practically speaking, the demands on orchestra and singers do not overburden the resources of even modest opera companies.
Cast and vocal parts
- Violetta Valéry, a courtesan (soprano)
- Alfredo Germont, her young lover (tenor)

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 10:00AM
There's an old rule in broadcast marketing: content builds brand. Exposure drives expectation; expec-tation drives exposure. And so it goes. It's this faith in content that makes most channel marketers wary when it comes to playing out a brand story.
Established wisdom yells that the 'sell' should never get in the way of the 'tell'. Yet, what happens when the old model falters, when you build great schedules and programmes, but still no one comes?
No one comes because they didn't know or didn't want to know you were on, for myriad reasons. In this context, and with reduced budget, marketing remains charged with capturing young, upmarket eyeballs, and, no matter what the boardroom says, volume of profile reigns over profile alone.
The role of marketing changes. Now, it has to work harder; play differently, in a fashion that disregards the classic textbook response: talent first; story second; logo third. But, different how?
Well, let's have a look at this latest Sky Arts spot. To what extent does it shake up the old maxim? And, more importantly, feed the brand?
It features Derek Watkins, a trumpet professor. He's solid, a session musician of note, who gently sells you the latest instalment of Sky's Style & Culture Pack. All's well, although his sell creaks a little when it comes to 'diversity' and 'cost'.
None-theless, I don't mind it, and I suspect it will contribute well to a business in its rapacious final quarter; one that's churn-reticent and keen to deliver messages that chime more firmly with an endurance-seeking brand.
Historically, elements of Sky tell their story with simple brilliance - their vanguard role told through and by craft. And why not? HD, for instance, is a genuine revolution for viewers' eyes. Meanwhile, Sky's Network should - in theory - evidence and frame this craft.
In this instance, the creative plugs relatively well. Endorsements are a classic bedrock for communication; indeed, Sky is rather fond of them - remember Kelly Brook?
Given Sky Arts' audience and aperture, this testimonial could have been pushed further still, to really exploit 'Believe in better'. But, Christmas - or, rather, end of year - is coming, so it's import-ant to not rock the boat. The sound-track and setting, at the Abbey Road studios, illustrate the 'stroke, don't bite' approach.
Remember that channel marketing faces restrictive context, given explicit controller and commercial diktat. Outside of creative services, many are disinterested in the craft or nuance of 'sell'. 'Where's my poster/trail?' goes the rallying cry. 'Brand' remains a murky, misunderstood word.
In such narrow margins, then, this film isn't bad at all. Not gold, but not lead either.

Bend to Tahoe: The smoky route 395
Armed with possible route from Harold, we depart bright and early from Bend, and headed south on Hwy 97 and take some forestry road headed towards the Paulina Lake region to ride around the crater.
The area is pretty rutted up, but beautiful scenery. With our bikes fully loaded it makes for a long morning.
Ok maybe we were the ones rutting it up
It was a little dusty
We realize time is slipping away, so we head back to the pavement and zoom passed Fort Rock and dry lake beds to try to make some distance in the day.
The skies turn from blue to a murky shade of grey as our southern route is polluted by smoke, forest fires are a reality in these parts, and with the extremely dry weather and wind its not a easy task to extinguish the flames.
The weather is hot and exacerbated by the smokey air. We stop at the town of Lakeview, on the border of Oregon and California, we had enough of the char filled air and desperately searched our maps for a camp that would give us some reprise from the tainted air. Fires were to the south west and south east. The valley floor was filled with dense smoke, just as we cross the California border we spot a camp, and headed up into the hills, hoping the trees would filter out some smoke.
Six miles up we finally found a camp, Cave Lake, where a plethora of wood had been chopped but left unused due to the fire bans. Finding a suitable camp spot for the night, we popped our drinks into the cold river to enjoy later. Night fall came quickly, and so did the neighbors, who marked their territory prolifically.
Ice Box: Check
Body Guards: Check
Camp spot with a whole lot of wood we cant use?: Check
We awoke with the sun, the buzzing of insects and the call of birds from tree to tree. Descending through the mountains, we head southwards. The smoke begins to fill the valley as we make down to the lake. We are now on Hwy 395 which eventually take us to Tahoe.
With the hot weather, and smoke we are keen to get back into the mountains.
The guy here will make you sandwiches
We find a little stop for lunch, outside Susanville, and then continue along 395, meandering between hills before we find our way across the Nevada border and into an increasing thickness of traffic. Reno is in the distance, casinos, big trucks and a thick layer of desert heat. We suck in a breath and ride through, waiting to be spit out the other side into the mountains. With highway construction it slows slightly, then, traffic thinning out we make ascend into the mountains along the Rose mountain parkway, a slivery slab of asphalt that finds its way into the Sierra Nevada Mountains and descend into the Tahoe lake basin at Incline Village.
We reach the lake, a pool of deep blue. The temperature has gone from hot to pleasant as we ride the shores of the east side of the lake, soaking up the scenery.
Bonsai Rock
Another one of Bonsai Rock because it took so long to hike down to it :)
We finally reach Stateline, a small community on South Lake Tahoe and look for the Mont Blue, the host hotel of the event. We pull into the parking lot and immediately know were in the right place. J Brandon from the Tahoe ADV Summit is there to greet us and get us our press passes and usher us into the parking area. It looks like its going to be a good turnout for their first year

Introduction to Bow Making
Twin Cities Maker
Weekly Event - Every Sunday: 12:00 AM to 6:00 PM (CDT)
Minneapolis, MN
Introduction to Bow Making
Learn to make a fully functional american flat bow!
Of the class fee, $60 is for the class, and $20 for materials and the tools. Both of which the student will keep at the end of the class. (the tools and materials, not the money.)
The class will cover:
In this one day intro course I will teach basic design and construction of a red oak american flat bow, and help the students make a fully functional wood bow. Future classes with more advanced skills will be taught later in the summer.
The class will include a brief description of what archery "tackle", or gear, is needed to actually use a bow, including bow strings, arrows, forearm protection (vambraces), finger protection (archery tabs or shooting gloves), quivers, and bow cases.
Ideally each student will complete this class with a fully functional bow. However, due to the fact that the students will be making the bow, and that wood under tension can break, I can make no guarantee of success. If the bow does break while under construction, there will be options for scheduling additional time to complete a bow.The design used in this class should yield a bow of between 30 and 45 pounds draw weight, depending on the students preference.
This class will cover making this bow both with and without the use of power tools. The use of power tools will be optional for each student, with the caveat that while it's very easy to make a bow fast with power tools, it's also very easy to wreck one fast.
Once the bow itself is completed, you will need at least a bow string and arrows to use it, at the barest minimum. Arrows can be purchased locally, and the class will cover the information you need to select the right arrows. Strings can be bought locally, but I will offer finished bowstrings as an option, seperate from the class, at a cost of $10, made by the instructor.

Mount Pinatubo was the most powerful volcanic eruption in nearly one hundred years. Within two hours of the main blast, sulfuric ash had reached twenty- two miles into the sky. By the time it was done, Pinatubo had discharged more than 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. What effect did that have on the environment?
As it turned out, the stratospheric haze of sulfur dioxide acted like a layer of sunscreen, reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth. For the next two years, as the haze was settling out, the earth cooled off by an average of nearly 1 degree Fahrenheit, or .5 degrees Celsius. A single volcanic eruption practically reversed, albeit temporarily, the cumulative global warming of the previous hundred years.
Pinatubo created some other positive externalities too. Forests around the world grew more vigorously because trees prefer their sunlight a bit diffused. And all that sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere created some of the prettiest sunsets that people had ever seen.
Of course it was the global cooling that got scientists' attention. A paper in Science concluded that a Pinatubo- size eruption every few years would "offset much of the anthropogenic warming expected over the next century."
Even James Lovelock conceded the point: "[W]e might be saved," he wrote, "by an unexpected event such as a series of volcanic eruptions severe enough to block out sunlight and so cool the Earth. But only losers would bet their lives on such poor odds."
True, it probably would take a loser, or at least a fool, to believe a volcano could be persuaded to spew its protective effluvia into the sky at the proper intervals. But what if some foolish people thought Pinatubo could perhaps serve as a blueprint to stop global warming? The same sort of fools who, for instance, once believed that diseases like polio could actually be conquered, that worldwide famine was not foreordained?
While they're at it, could they also make their solution cheap and simple?
And if so, where might such fools be found?

Of course I would need to run a timedemo to get the exact fps but the ti4200 hardly feels faster and my fps counter went up by 10% I get nearly 9k marks on my oced ti200 against 11k on a oced ti4200. 3dmark has shown the biggest difference so far but in games its like 10% faster :confused: also I would be far better off with more cpu power. I dont regret getting the ti4200 cause its bragging rights for a high 3dmark score, something I take great pride in LOL :D

Brady plays the game
Patriots fans have seen quarterback Tom Brady make some great plays on the gridiron, but it turns out hes quite adept at playing the real estate market as well.
Reporter Kimberly Blanton writes in todays Globe about a rather savvy deal Brady recently completed in Boston. Seems he purchased a Beacon Street town house in 2006 for $6.24 million, then converted it into four condos and sold three of them, keeping the top two floors for himself. The buyer paid $7.95 million for three units - $1.71 million more than Brady paid for the whole building.
A local real estate agent told Blanton that the biggest selling point probably wasnt Bradys status as the areas reigning hero quarterback. More likely the draw was the location, the parking spots, and the building upgrades.
Other experts said Brady likely didnt turn a huge profit on the deal, because he spent so much money converting the building; but he did cut himself a pretty smart deal.
Sports marketer Marc Ganis said this shows Brady is taking charge of his financial future. Football players careers are limited, so players need to make wise financial decisions while theyre still playing. Actually, the NFL Players Association now requires rookies to attend financial planning classes to help them learn to manage their finances, instead of running off and blowing their first years salary on fancy cars and homes, etc.
However, Im not too worried about Brady, he seems to have a grip on things.

Jim Boeheim became the third Division I men's coach to reach 900 wins as No. 3 Syracuse beat Detroit 72-68 on Monday night in the Gotham Classic. Boeheim, 68 and in his 37th year at his alma mater, is 900-304 and joined an elite fraternity. Mike Krzyzewski (936) and Bob Knight (902) are the only other men's Division I coaches to win that many games. Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, Boeheim's college roommate, teammate and fellow Hall of Famer, and Roosevelt Bouie, a star on Boeheim's first team in 1976-77, were in the Carrier Dome crowd of 17,902. Midway through the second half, fans were given placards featuring cardboard cutouts of Boeheim's face with 900 wins printed on the back to celebrate. Boeheim was presented a jersey encased in glass with 900 emblazoned on it. ''I'm happy. I've stayed around long enough,'' Boeheim said at center court. ''I was a little nervous.'' James Southerland had 22 points for Syracuse (10-0), which increased its home winning streak to 30 games, longest i...
