Feline Fest connects cats with homes
Cats' most insidious disease of all, their Toxoplasma gondii parasite they spread through their feces into all other animals. This is how humans get it in their dinner-meats, cats roaming around stockyards and farms. This is why cats are routinely destroyed around gestating livestock or important wildlife by shooting or drowning them. So those animals won't suffer from the same things that can happen to the unborn fetus of any pregnant woman. (Miscarriages, still-births, hydrocephaly, and microcephaly.) It can kill you at any time during your life once you've been infected. It becomes a permanent lifetime parasite in your mind, killing you when your immune system becomes compromised. It can last over a year in any soils or waters and not even washing your hands or garden vegetables in bleach will destroy the oocysts. Contrary to cat-lovers' self-deceptive myths, a cat can become reinfected many times during its life and spread millions of oocysts each time. It's now linked to the cause of autism, schizophrenia, and brain cancers. This parasite is also killing off rare and endangered marine-mammals along all coastlines from cats' T. gondii oocysts in run-off from the land, the oocysts surviving even in saltwater.
Its strange life cycle is meant to infect rodents. Any rodents infected with it lose their fear of cats and are attracted to cat urine.
Cats attract rodents to your home with their whole slew of diseases. If you want rodents in your home keep cats outside of it to attract diseased rodents to your area. I experienced this phenomenon (as have many others), and all rodent problems disappeared after I shot and buried every last cat on my land.
The time has come to destroy them all whenever spotted away from supervised confinement. There's no other solution. We have nobody but cat-lovers to thank for this health and ecological disaster. Stray-cats, the very source of all feral-cats, need to be euthanized too or you'll never be rid of the feral-cat problem.

Be cautious about using any cats taken from outdoors for adoption or you could be held criminally responsible. There's no way to know a wild-harvested cats' vaccination history, if any, nor their exposure to all the deadly diseases cats carry. If a cat has contracted rabies then a vaccination later will do no good. It's already too late. There's no reliable known test for rabies while keeping the animal alive. They need to be destroyed after they are trapped. It's the only sane and sensible solution. This is why all wild-harvested animals of any type intended for the pet-industry must undergo an extended quarantine up to 6 months before transfer or sale of those animals to prevent just these things. Cats are no different than any other animal when wild-harvested. You're risking this following story happening in every shelter across the land.
Adopting any cat that's been taken from outdoors is just playing Russian Roulette.
Even vaccinating your cat against rabies won't prevent it from finding the nearest rabid bat dying on the ground from rabies, to rip it to shreds for its daily cat's play-toy. Then bringing back a mouthful or claws full of fresh rabies virus to you, your family, neighbors, other pets, or other animals.
These are just the diseases they've been spreading to humans, not counting the ones they spread to all wildlife. THERE ARE NO VACCINES against many of these, and are in-fact listed as bio-terrorism agents. They include: Campylobacter Infection, Cat Scratch Disease, Coxiella burnetti Infection (Q fever), Cryptosporidium Infection, Dipylidium Infection (tapeworm), Hookworm Infection, Leptospira Infection, Giardia, Plague, Rabies, Ringworm, Salmonella Infection, Toxocara Infection, Toxoplasma. [Centers for Disease Control, July 2010] Sarcosporidiosis, Flea-borne Typhus, and Tularemia can now also be added to that list.
A FEW examples.

County SPCA won't arrest for TNR
Look up the term TNR advocates just LOVE to use on how they reduce their feral-cat numbers, their candy-coating feel-good term of "Death by Attrition". This means that their cats will die from disease, cat-attacks, animal-attacks, exposure, road-kill, starvation, and any other means that drastically shortens cats' lives. They don't die from old-age, you know! ALL their cats suffering for how many months it takes to die that way. Just because they don't see how that cat lies there, gasping for air, dying for days, after it's been hit by a car or survived an animal attack means that it didn't die inhumanely? Is that how it works with TNR advocates? They didn't see it suffer to death so it didn't suffer? Are they THIS self-deluded? A cat dying from poisoning is even more humane than a cat dying from TNR's "attrition" (of which poisoning by any means; plant, snake, insect, or chemical; is one of the many methods that falls under the definition of "attrition"). In most parts of this country and the world TNR practices clearly falls under the guidelines for cruelty to animals, animal-abuse, animal-neglect, animal-endangerment, and animal-abandonment laws. Including being in direct violation of every invasive-species law in existence.
Let's not forget how TNR advocates don't hesitate to carve up cats with scalpels as well as cutting off parts of their ears, from which they have to heal-up for weeks before they try to survive again. As if letting them die of "attrition" wasn't bad enough, TNR-advocates start them off by terrorizing them with traps, cages, and sticking knives into them first. (Which is also precisely why they can't trap them a 2nd time to keep them vaccinated.)
Not only are they cruelly torturing cats, but also all wildlife they inflict their cats upon. Their cats literally ripping the skin off of and clawing the guts out of any wildlife to use it as an agonizingly and slowly dying twitching play-toy for their cats. And as soon as all the "fun" has drained out of their play-toy, they go on and find another one to torture. This is no different than if cat-owners went to a pet-store and bought canaries and hamsters then threw them at their cats to watch their cats tear them apart for their amusement. What about all the native predators that depend on all those animals for their ONLY food? Their cats cause all those animals to STARVE TO DEATH. TNR-advocates' cruelty knows no bounds.
If you want to raise revenue for your towns and cities in order to deal with this invasive-species ecological-disaster properly and effectively, start charging all these TNR advocates with severe fines and imprisonment for CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AND VIOLATION OF INVASIVE-SPECIES LAWS.
They're not doing this out of any goodness of their hearts. THEY DON'T HAVE HEARTS, nor minds. Proved, 100%.

If you advocate for cats as rodent-control on farms and ranches, you've already doomed them to being destroyed by drowning or shooting when it becomes a financial liability more than any asset. Ranchers and farmers worldwide are fully aware that cats' Toxoplasma gondii parasite will cause the very same birth defects (microcephaly and hydrocephaly), still-births, and miscarriages in their livestock and important wildlife as it can in pregnant women. This is why any cats are routinely destroyed around gestating livestock and wildlife management areas. Common rural practice everywhere. The risk of financial loss and loss of important native wildlife is far too great to do otherwise.
The next time you bite into that whole-grain veggie-muffin or McBurger, you need to just envision biting down on a shot-dead or drowned kitten or cat. For that's precisely how that food supply got to your mouth -- whether you want to face up to it or not. It's not going to change reality no matter how much you twist your mind away from the truth of your world.
If you want to blame someone for the drowning and shooting of cats, you need to prosecute yourself every time you eat.

The general rule-of-thumb in the USA is that if your land is in an area zoned for agricultural or livestock use then it is perfectly legal to destroy any animal, someone's pet or not, that is threatening the health, well-being, and safety of your own animals or family. The only animals exempt from you taking immediate action, legally, are those listed on endangered or threatened species lists, and any bird species under protection of MBTA (the Migratory Bird Treaty Act). Even then variances can be given should there be sufficient problem but this requires further study by authorities. Since cats are listed in the top 100 WORST invasive-species of the world in the "Global Invasive Species Database", this means they have no protection whatsoever from being shot on sight. And in fact, if your area enforces and obeys invasive-species laws -- as they should -- then it is against the law to NOT destroy any cat on sight, someone's pet or not. It is your civic and moral responsibility to destroy any invasive-species that is found away from safe confinement and roaming freely in a non-native habitat.
A cat-owner that releases their cat in an area zoned for any form of livestock or agricultural use has no legal grounds to sue anyone if their cat is shot. Even if the shooter walks up to the door of the ex-cat-owner and hands their dead cat back to them, saying, "I shot your cat, here it is! Better luck next time!" Though local law-enforcement frowns on this because the criminally-irresponsible ex-cat-owner will just raise a stink with law-enforcement, wasting their time when they have more important things to do than explain to and coddle an idiot. Hence the popular "SSS Cat Management Program" (Shoot, Shovel, & Shut-Up) method to save your gendarmes the further hassle by the ex-cat-owning trouble-makers.
In fact, here's a publication from a study done by the University of Nebraska on the best ways to HUMANELY deal with a feral-cat problem wherever you live. This documentation INCLUDES the best firearms, ammo, and air-rifles required to HUMANELY destroy cats. http://deenawinter.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/ec1781.pdf
Besides, what difference does it make if the cat gets shot or ran over by a car, attacked by another cat or animal, drowned, or poisoned by plants animals or chemicals? The result is the same. The cause is the same -- the fault of the criminally irresponsible pet-owner that let that invasive-species pet roam free. It only means they really didn't care about that cat at all so nobody else should either.
When flying over the USA on a clear day, look down. Then you'll see that vast coast-to-coast patchwork-quilt of farms and ranches where it's perfectly legal to destroy every last cat.

If you do the research, as I did using data from the most "successful" TNR programs, you'll easily find that not even ONE TNR program has EVER trapped more than 0.4% of existing cats in any one area for over a decade now. They simply cannot trap them faster than they breed out of control, no matter what they do. And those cats that learn to evade traps go on to produce offspring that now also know how to evade any trapping method used. On advice of the local sheriff where I live I used a .22 equipped with a good illuminated-scope and a laser-sight for use when they are most active, dusk to dawn; as well as to afford precision aim for a humane kill. I shot every last one of them on my property to restore all the native wildlife to proper balance. 100% total success! This is even a more humane method than terrorizing trapping and animal-shelter methods. And contrary to TNR LIES, not ONE cat replaced them, NATIVE WILDLIFE THAT BELONGS HERE RETURNED.

McHenry, MD (PRWEB) September 25, 2013
Tulikivi announced that it has been selected as a sustainable heat source for Blue Moon Rising (BMR), Garrett County, Maryland's own green ecotourism community. This 14-acre site overlooks Deep Creek Lake, Maryland's largest inland body of water. BMR currently consists of eight rental cabins, called "waldens," a learning center and a community building, all serving the community and as a vacation retreat.
In 2008, BMR founder Lisa M. Jan had a vision to integrate vacation rental properties with sustainable educational services. Jan was interested in a new way of thinking about development that fostered an understanding for the natural environment—a built environment that preserves the existing natural elements, she explained.
Jan's mission is to "create a community that harnesses the incredible power of Mother Nature while leaving as little impact on the landscape as possible." Her vision is "to demonstrate that humans can live lightly on the earth, without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics."
According to Jan, most ecotourism destinations are either luxurious spas or really roughing it. "What BMR offers really makes it unique, such as the environmental education center, with features the larger of the two Tulikivi units selected and is the central area where programs in nature, art and design, wellness and sustainable practices are offered to BMR's guests as well as local residents and schools. The second Tulikivi is located in the community center, a gathering space for visitors, families and catered events. Our community continues to grow and we have more "waldens" planned for the future, she said.
One of the main decisions for the resort was to choose a sustainable and ecofriendly heating option for the resort's main gathering areas. "Two Tulikivi soapstone fireplaces from Finland add greatly to the unique character," said Jan. "We investigated masonry heat

Spot-Breasted Orioles, a medium-sized oriole, were primarily residents of Mexico until 1949, when the species was accidentally introduced to southern Florida, most likely occurring when a couple of Spot-Breasted Orioles escaped from a shipment.
Male and female adult Spot-Breasted Orioles have black spots on the sides of their breasts, earning the species its descriptive name.
The Spot-Breasted Oriole nest, a long, hanging pouch made of roots and plant fibers, is usually found in the fork of a tree branch. The Spot-Breasted Oriole nest usually contains 2-7 eggs that are white with purple scrawling.
The length of the incubation period of the Spot-Breasted Oriole eggs, and therefore the fledgling period of the Spot-Breasted young is unknown as such studies have not been performed on the Spot-Breasted Oriole.
Birdfeeders.com is your leading online source for oriole feeders, oriole nectar, and bird baths. We offer the broadest and deepest selection of quality bird products to make your oriole watching experience

Smells fantastic
The aroma this saddle gives off is wonderful. A bit knotty with a touch of sweetness, and a hint of cow. After a long day of grundel grinding, nothing is more satisfying then running my nose across the ol' Heritage and taking a big whiff.

Sony Vegas Pro 13 is a professional video editing software that supports nearly any video resolution up to 4096 x 4096, and features native timeline support for a wide range of popular SD, HD, 60p, and even several 4K codecs. This is an Upgrade to Sony Vegas Pro 13 from any previous Sony Vegas version (Vegas Pro, Vegas Audio, Vegas Video, Vegas, or Vegas+DVD). It is also an Academic License that requires enrollment with Sony as a verified educational institution, student, teacher, or faculty member. For details and enrollment instructions please visit the Sony Creative website.
Vegas runs exclusively on 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1, and can take advantage of OpenCL-enabled graphics cards (GPUs) for accelerated workflow, reduced render times, and the ability to playback high-resolution formats at full quality, in real-time. In addition, integrated proxy support means you can scale down video quality to accommodate the limitations of less powerful systems, such as laptops, for the sake of editing, while still finalizing in full quality. Interoperability with other NLEs means you can import project files (or XML versions) into Sony Vegas Pro 13 and retain most, if not all, of the edit decisions made in the third-party NLE. You can also export Vegas projects so they can be continued or completed in other editing or finishing software.
Vegas Pro 13 features extensive integrated audio editing tools, and includes DVD Architect, a standalone application for DVD and Blu-ray Disc creation. These tools, as well as color correction and effects compositors, and wide plug-in support, back up Vegas Pro 13's claim to be a complete post production solution, not just a video editing application. Vegas Pro 13 also incorporates timeline tools for editing and troubleshooting stereoscopic 3D footage, and allows you to preview 3D projects in high quality using 3D SDI or HDMI I/O hardware and monitors.
New Features for Vegas Pro 13
To meet the collaboration challenge on video productions, Vegas Pro Connect provides an alternative to written spreadsheets and notes, offering online and offline review workflows. The app features a comprehensive review system within a gesture-driven control surface
Proxy-First Workflow
Shoot XDCAM footage on compatible Sony camcorders and use the Sony Wireless Adapter to send proxies to versions of the high-quality original to the cloud. Editors back at the shop can download and edit with the proxies while the high-resolution files are in transit from the field. When the high-resolution files arrive, automatically relink the edited project to them for rendering
Project Archiving
Archive all media associated with a project, or just the media used on the timeline, including nested Vegas Pro 13 projects
Seven New Effects Plug-Ins
Seven dynamic video effects from FXHOME are integrated directly into the Vegas Pro 13 application. They are:
- Bleach Bypass: Simulates the harsh, high contrast look of bleach bypass film processing
- Witness Protection: Can be used to disguise specific elements within the frame, such as faces, license plates and personal information, by positioning a simple shape
- Three Strip: Creates a color-enriched appearance which approximates the three-strip process used with old film stock
- TV Damage: Creates distortion and interference similar to what is seen on a CRT television receiving a bad analogue transmission
- Light Flares
- Scan Lines
- Vibrance
XAVC Intra MXF Smart Render
Helps dramatically reduce render times by providing XAVC Intra MXF render templates
NewBlueFX Video Essentials VI
Features 100 presets in ten sophisticated plug-ins. Enhance effects you can apply to your project include Chroma Key Pro, Color Replace, Cut Away, Garbage Matte, Picture Gird, Picture-in-shape, Saturation EQ, Saturation Modifier, Selective Touch UP, and Title. All of these plug-ins utilize the OpenFX architecture
iZotope Nectar Elements
The Nectar Elements plug-in by iZotope performs one-click voice/narration signal and effects processing. Load task-specific Style presets like Voice Over or Dialogue, and adjust dedicated controls such as Presence, Drive, and Grit to customize your sound. Nectar Elements makes vocal treatment a snap
Loudness Meters
Open the new Loudness Meters and tweak your mixes to maximize audio dynamic range while you maintain consistent -23 LUFS Integrated levels and create EBU R-128/CALM Act compliant renders that will pass unattenuated through every stage of the signal path
Multi-Tool Paradigm
Frequently used tools are organized in a convenient pop-up menu located directly below the timeline to provide fast access for a more efficient editing workflow
Editing and Workflow
Double-click at the edit point to see the timeline in a detailed A-B Roll view. The adjacent frames of the events at the edit point appear clearly above the tracks for reference, and unused media in the events appears in the timeline. With the edit point/event edge highlighted in red, you can trim it with the mouse or numeric keypad. Set a Loop Region around the edit point to dynamically add or remove frames from either side of the edit point while the media plays to create a highly precise, interactive editing experience
Project Interchange
Import and export a wide range of project files to and from Vegas Pro. Convert between the native .veg file and AAF for Avid ProTools 10, XML for Apple Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X, DaVinci Resolve 10, and .prproj for Adobe Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC
- 4K Support
Vegas Pro natively supports frame sizes up to 4096 x 4096; the 4K image standard for digital cinema projection (DCI) is 4096 x 2160 pixels. This level of resolution provides more detail and flexibility to pan and crop when delivering in HD. Plus it's ideal for compositing and video effects work as it provides a high-quality final output. Vegas Pro natively supports Sony XAVC and XAVC S files as well as RED ONE and RED EPIC files
GPU Acceleration
Better playback and faster renders are possible by taking advantage of the processing power locked up in the GPU. Vegas Pro 13 leverages the GPU for video effects, transitions, compositing, pan/crop, track motion, and encoding. An optimized hardware configuration that uses a compatible GPU device dramatically improves timeline performance. Enjoy higher resolution previews with multiple effects, and crank encoding speeds up by as much as six times over previous versions to popular formats like AVC. Vegas Pro 13 uses OpenCL-supported devices from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel to unleash this power
Multi-Format Native Editing
Vegas Pro takes a no transcode, no rewrap approach with Panasonic P2 AVC-Intra and DVCPRO source material. Vegas Pro eliminates the transcode and rewrap process that other applications require, so editors can save valuable production time, minimize storage requirements, and preserve the pristine quality of the original source material. Other natively supported codecs and formats include XAVC, XAVC S, XDCAM, XDCAM EX, NXCAM, HDCAM-SR, AVCCAM, RED R3D, AVCHD, and AVC-based MOV files from popular DSLR cameras. For 3D content creation, Vegas Pro also supports stereoscopic 3D MVC and MPO files from Sony camcorders
Sync Link
Establish a hierarchical relationship between timeline events during editing. Move Child events independently of their Parent event, or move the Parent event and move all of its Child events simultaneously to keep the family in perfect synchronization
Smart Proxy Workflow
Create high-performance, edit-friendly Smart Proxy clips in the Project Media window and enjoy faster playback on a wider variety of hardware. Media automatically and dynamically switches from the original to the proxy based on the Preview playback settings. Original media files are always available for the final render. You can also set a preference to automatically create proxy files when you add Ultra HD 4K media to your project
Multicamera Editing
Specify shots as you play back your project and switch between as many as 32 video sources with a keyboard command or a click of your mouse. Vegas Pro keeps all unused shots. Easily expand a multicamera track into component events to get a complete picture of your project so you can refine the edits
Comprehensive S-Log Workflow
S-log technology enables cameras such as the Sony PMW-F3 to capture images with extended dynamic range and tonal reproduction. Through OpenColorIO technology, Vegas Pro 13 supports S-log via the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) color space standard. Based on the creative goals and display devices available, Vegas Pro 13 applies the appropriate LUT (Look-up Table) during the editing process. You can then edit the encoded project to a wide range of formats with ACES-defined color space standards as well as other popular non-ACES standards
Video Effects and Compositing
Use Bezier drawing tools to quickly and easily create rectangular and oval-shaped masks which isolate or mask out portions of your media and create interesting video composites. Or, use powerful mask customization tools to create complex and precise masks of any shape imaginable
FX Masking
Mask an effect rather than the image itself. This is particularly useful for quickly blurring or pixelating an area of a video clip, to hide a logo, license plate, or a person's face
Color Match
Match colors between clips in the highly versatile and powerful L*a*b* color space. Choose a preset from the Preset drop-down list or use the controls to choose the image you want to match. Capture both the source and target images independently from the Trimmer window, the clipboard, a file on your computer, any area of your computer screen, or the Video Preview window
OpenFX Architecture
Vegas Pro supports OpenFX plug-ins including many from third-party developers so you can access your ever-expanding collection of filters and effects. The extension for GPU rendering with OpenGL textures allows third-party OpenFX plug-ins that use OpenGL to leverage the power of the GPU more effectively within Vegas Pro. You can also utilize position controls and effects handles right in the Video Preview window with plug-ins that feature OpenFX on-screen interoperability
Compositing Modes
Vegas Pro 13 uses a multi-layer, top-down paradigm for compositing and masking, with the ability to assign tracks as Parent or Child tracks. Apply Compositor Effects including Bump Map, Height Map, and Displacement Map to create stylized lighting and textured looks. Vegas Pro 13 supports an impressive variety of compositing modes including Add, Subtract, Dodge, Burn, Source Alpha, Multiply (Mask), Lighten, Darken, Cut, Screen, Overlay, Hard Light, Difference, and Difference Squared. The 3D Compositing mode enables tracks to be moved and rotated anywhere in 3D space, and the results can be used in a stereoscopic 3D project
LAB Adjust and L*a*b* Color Space Histogram
Manipulate colors in the powerful L*a*b* color space. The LAB Adjust tool uses the same technology as the Color Match plug-in and takes advantage of the perceptually uniform L*a*b* color standard to provide dramatic and precise control over the color characteristics of your content. In addition, the Video Scopes: L*a*b* Histogram view can display the L, a and b channel distributions of the images in the L*a*b* color space, a tool that can also be used very effectively with the Color Match plug-in
Robust Video Plug-In Architecture
The Video Effects Plug-in SDK, based on the Open Effects Association platform, provides an optimized programming environment for third-party plug-in developers. This helps promote a steady stream of new plug-ins for Vegas Pro
Stereoscopic 3D Editing
The Video Preview window provides an extensive selection of 3D viewing options, including channel specific, top/bottom, side-by-side, a blend of both, or anaglyphic display. Professional editors can use an SDI or HDMI connection with a line-alternate 3D display to deliver a high-end preview experience
Stereoscopic 3D Adjustments
Use the powerful Stereoscopic 3D Adjust filter to correct for camera misalignments and adjust the screen depth of the target object to place it exactly where you want it in the 3D field. Utilize the stereoscopic editing tools to correct stereoscopic 3D screen edge violations. You can also shift the horizontal offset in some 2D effects and transitions in order to adjust the perceived depth of the effect
Auto Correct Footage
Automatically correct 3D video to ensure proper alignment of footage that would otherwise be ruined by minor camera setup discrepancies
Integrated 3D Adjustments
Utilize the integrated tools for basic 3D adjustments to improve your 3D project. Typical corrections include horizontal and vertical offsets, zoom discrepancies, keystone, and rotation. Tools to flip video horizontally and vertically and to automatically crop images help to ensure professional 3D results
True Stereoscopic 3D Camera for 3D Track Motion Compositing
Create 3D motion effects with precise control over Z depth, plane intersection, compositing, and more. The Parent Motion feature allows you to move and rotate multiple tracks in 3D space as a unit. Create 3D motion changes in real time and preview them instantly
Add Depth to 2D Elements
Use the traditional Vegas Pro track compositing methods to intermix 2D elements, such as backgrounds, titles, graphical elements, or keyed video, with 3D content using the traditional Vegas Pro track compositing methods. Give these elements depth in the 3D output using the same horizontal offset adjustment tools used for 3D media
Extensive Multitrack Audio Editing Tools
Vegas Pro 13 features a suite of 5.1 surround sound mixing tools. Automate the surround panning on tracks and buses to mix DVD and Blu-ray Disc soundtracks, directly within the Vegas Pro environment. Apply 5.1-channel audio effects to the master bus for enhanced control over surround mixes. Export projects as discrete tracks for post-encoding, or encode directly to Dolby Digital surround with the Sony Creative Software Dolby Digital-certified AC-3 Pro encoder. In addition, the DVD Architect Pro software imports AC-3 files for multichannel 5.1 DVD and Blu-ray Disc creation
Extensive Audio Effects

Multithreaded Audio Engine
Vegas Pro 13 software takes advantage of multicore and hyper-threading computer systems to maximize available hardware resources. By leveraging the full capabilities of the hardware and reducing direct CPU load render times will be faster and latency reduced
High-Resolution Audio Support
Vegas Pro 13 software supports high-resolution 24-bit/192 kHz audio files. In addition, the ability to edit at the sample level enables you to execute ultra-precise adjustments to the audio between the video frames, to remove random pops and clicks or to re-establish sync
Input Buses

Automation parameter control is available for both stereo and 5.1 tracks and buses, as well as for video track envelopes
Import, Export, and Media Management
Categorize your media with customizable tags. Apply a Media Tag to the entire clip or to a region of a clip. Vegas Pro automatically organizes each tagged clip into appropriately named Media Bins. Quick Search enables instant filtering of media based on a single text field. The Search Media dialog facilitates more complex searches with multiple conditions, and makes the bins it creates smart. Smart Bins update automatically when you change media tags or add new media that matches the search criteria
Native XAVC and XAVC 4K Support
Features built-in support for XAVC and XAVC S files with the same drag-and-drop, no transcode simplicity that Vegas Pro users have experienced with other popular formats.

Capture to MXF from SD/HD-SDI Devices
Capture legacy standard definition formats like Digital Betacam and high-definition formats including HDCAM and DVCPRO 100 video tapes and convert them to MPEG-2 50 Mbps 4:2:2 files which conform to the Sony XDCAM standard. Capture live feeds as XDCAM MXF files and edit them in Vegas Pro, or archive them for future use. The Sony MXF file format is roughly one-fourth the bit rate of other HD compression technologies such as Avid DNxHD or Apple ProRes, so it's more efficient in terms of hard drive storage. Despite its small file size, a MXF file still produces a 4:2:2 image at a full 1920 x 1080 raster

I'd like to continue that conversation (hence this new thread). I'd
say, yes, they are helpful. There probably are others, and I suspect
people on this list could suggest some. They probably could be
formalized more. Should they be? Not sure, but it can't hurt to think
about it some more and discuss it further, right?

@xxxddd: He's a terrible artist and a b*tchy little baby when people don't think he's as awesome as he thinks he is.
@JonSmith said:
Because he's an awful artist who nevertheless has made a career of being an awful artist.
Which admittedly, is kind of admirable.
But given it permeates an entire age of comics, it's far more annoying than anything else.
Plus, this:
That's the second worst piece of artwork I have ever seen.

I could care less about his art since it's never affected any book I've read but his attitude in general is horrible
First of all "everyone" doesn't hate Rob Liefeld. There are people who still buy his stuff. From what I see the majority of people who post on messageboards about how much they hate him are people who just jump on the bandwagon because he's an easy target. It's just fun for them to say the same things and make the same tired jokes. The sad part is many of the people putting him down used to be fans of his work or at least bought his books. Rob bashing is a bit out of style these days and Greg Land is the new guy to bash.
40 Worse Liefeld drawings
Him ranting on Twitter after leaving DC
Him being a jealous baby by arguing with Scott Snyder (another writer whom I like a lot)
And finally!!!
Title explains itself.
When all is said and done though I really like Liefeld. His art is generally outdated and lazy and his writing has been the death of many books, but I feel like he has done way more good than bad. He's also a complete badass which is also admirable.
Rob gets a lot of flack these days but back the 90s Rob was a big deal. Rob isn't a good artist but back in the day his art was seen as fresh, exciting and dynamic. Yes, his anatomy is bad but he made up for it by bringing a flashy style to his comicbook pages that made a lot of the other stuff by other artists look dull at the time... and fans ate it up. Unfortunately for Rob, other (better) artists started incorporating elements of that Rob/IMAGE style into their work and were able to do it better than Rob. Rob refused to or couldn't evolve or really improve his art enough to keep up and with the works of other artists who started doing the same type of art (but better) and made Rob's work look pale in comparison. So when the excitement/dynamics of Rob's comic pages wasn't as big a deal anymore fans the Subpar art skill/technique started to become more obvious and the bashing kicked into overdrive. After that happened anything Rob did or said was critized.
I'm pretty sure most people dislike him for the same reason that most people dislike most things, which is because most other people do.

But there are plenty of terrible and even worse artists than Rob in comics that don't get the same kind of hate.

He's the most prominent bad artist. He's been all over the place so his bad art is really spread around.
Also his writing could use quite a bit of work.
Personally don't hate the guy, but I'm certainly not a fan.

Because he sucks. Man... all these other posts have such great reasons, and I just put "because he sucks"...
There are different reasons people hate Greg Land. Some people don't like that traces/uses reference. Many people feel that an artist should draw totally from imagination and an artist is cheating and/or stealing or can't really draw if they use pictures to create or help create their art. But the truth is many other artists/illustrators do the same thing. Even other comicbook artists. The problem with Land is he seems to rely on it much much more than others and doesn't seem to alter it enough to make it less noticable and/or work well with the story he's telling. Character's expressions and poses usually seem a bit off. That's another thing people don't like. Another thing some people don't like is He doesn't seem to work harder keeping the characters from all looking alike and keeping characters looks consistant throughout the story. Some people are totally convinced he uses pics from porn as reference and they really don't like that.
I have to say however, that both Rob and Greg Land despite the fact that so many people are vocal about how much they don't like them both have a big fanbase that do like their stuff and can boost a book's sales. In many ways for the company putting out their books having sales power is more important than being a great artist because when all is said and done they're in the business of selling comics. There are plenty of good, solid artists out there that no one cares about and people don't follow their work. That type of artist isn't much of an asset to a company looking to move product.

I'm not arguing he isn't. I'm just saying there are other terrible artists in the industry that don't get the hate Leifield does, and that's because hating him is a fad.

I despise him for his terrible art style that looks the same as it did when he helping create Wildstorm, usually artists improve or change their style over time but his has been SHIT since day 1. He talked bad about my beloved Gail Simone and other talented people and I've heard he's always been a jerk.
Those are my reasons, I feel that is a mature way of putting it.
I have no real opinion on Rob I know he can be difficult to deal with but so are a lot of comic creators that were big deals at one time or another. Things I have noticed is people that go on and on about how much they hate Liefield are the ones that bought all his stuff in the 90's because they were trendy and I think that is the answer his art was a big trend and like NU metal or Glam Rock and so many other trends once they fall in popularity many people act as if it was the worst thing in the world.
Besides the fact that:
1. His art is horrendous. It's the equivalent to staring at the sun. I get confused whenever I see his art,and I can't even comprehend many of the generic poses and expressions. The anatomy is worse. Most of the poses that he makes the characters do are just anatomically impossible and/or ridiculous and comical.
. And most of his (unoriginal) designs are just characters that barely wear anything other than pouches and have huge guns. The females barely wear anything.
It's just.....awful.
2. His writing is just as bad. It's just as generic and it's tired,lazy writing. Most times it's just out-of-character writing and dialogue that seems unfitting. It's more unfitting than reading a Wolverine or Batman comic with Nicki Minaj music playing.
3. His personality and attitude is just......
And then he wants to claim superiority over other people (whether other writers and artists),or he's just the type of person to tell people who don't tell his work to f*ck off. And then some people swear to god that he is a freaking saint.
The only good thing he has done is Deadpool and others. Other than that.....

Bolt Not Flashing On Glago's Guest
October 29, 2008
AWN Headline NewsAWN has learned that GLAGO'S GUEST, the latest short from Walt Disney Animation Studios and helmed by BOLT co-director Chris Williams, will not play with BOLT when it opens.
The short, experimenting in smoke and hair animation and the studio's first stereoscopic 3-D CG short, had long been scheduled to play in front of BOLT, coming November 21, but Disney said Wednesday it was pulling GLAGO'S GUEST.
No certain wide release plans have been made for the short. GLAGO'S GUEST and PRESTO, the short from Disney/Pixar that premiered in front of WALL-E, both showed at Annecy this summer.
GLAGO'S GUEST did have a limited theatrical release and is qualified for the 2008 Best Animated Short Oscar.
'Glago's Guest' Disney's next animated short - 7/18/08

Police consider $30k drone to take over helicopter work
The unit fits inside a suitcase and is expected to aid crash analysts
By PoliceOne Staff
BRITISH COLUMBIA — Police say a remote-controlled unmanned drone is expected to help crash analysts get better, faster images.
The $30,000 aerial vehicle being tested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) hovers over crash sites to take photos or video, according to BC Local News. It sends images to officers on the ground, who use them to reconstruct accidents.
The Draganflyer X6 will allow police to reopen roads faster after crashes than they can when using a helicopter, RCMP Insp. Norm Gaumont said. Because it flies at lower altitude than a chopper would – up to 175 feet – it can also capture more detailed images.
Officers are permitted to fly the unit, which fits inside a suitcase, at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour.
The RCMP will test the unit for one year before deciding whether to buy one, Gaumont said.

lm_sensors and LINUX
I got my lm_sensors, working ... for my AMD computer but my problem is that the reading for the voltage is off :D (for some Vcore is oky for rest is 2x the value it suppose to be :D ) any ideas how i could fix this?
Re: lm_sensors and LINUX
take a look @ /etc/sensors.conf (or Suse's name for it) read the _header_ of the file and look for your hw sensor and change the "compute" directives... (maybe you've to delete one, or remove a * 2 or / .5 ...)
you can adopt your changes when run (as root) sensors -s /etc/sensors.conf... (now check the values again!)
(since you did neither say which hw sensor you have nor what the exact output
look like, you've to do all by yourself! :D)
example / fresh sensors.conf (Backup!)
Re: lm_sensors and LINUX
Also if using gkrellm to do the monitoring then there is no need to modify the sensors.conf file it has adjustments you can make in the configuration.
Re: lm_sensors and LINUX
thank you!

The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/444,044 filed Nov. 19, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,697,421 entitled "OPERATOR INDEPENDENT, TRANSPARENT WIRELESS MODEM MANAGEMENT".
This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/444,020, now abandoned, entitled "EVENT DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION MODEM", filed on the same day herewith, which is incorporated herein by reference in it entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to wireless modems, and more particularly to remote management of a wireless modem.
2. Background
Existing Global System for Mobile communications (hereinafter "GSM") modems operate, for setup and control purposes, similarly to known landline modems, such as compatible HAYES brand modems. Such modems generally act primarily as a transport mechanism for moving data between two devices, such as a client computer and a head-end server. In particular, the modem is configured to passively modulate data or control signals from the client computer or to passively push modulated signals through the modem to the client computer.
When a modem is initialized, it will generally run either from a default modem configuration, which is stored in the modem, or the modem will receive a special initialization configuration parameters from the client computer. The initialization configuration is performed, in either mode, to ensure that the modem is able to communicate with the client computer and, preferably, operate (as a transport) at its maximum efficiency.
As data flow 150 illustrates, when a client computer 104 tries to connect to the head-end server 116, it will first try to initialize the GSM modem 108 by passing configuration parameters directly to the GSM modem 108. For example, configuration parameters 120 are passed to the GSM modem 108 over the serial cable 106 from the client computer 104. A response 124, indicating whether the parameters were accepted, is then sent by the GSM modem 108 back to the client computer 104. Once the GSM modem 108 is initialized, it essentially becomes a slave to the client computer 104 and functions as a passive transport carrying data 128 from the client computer 104 to the head-end server 116, in addition to data 132 from the head-end server 116 to the client computer 104.
An operator independent, transparent wireless modem management system is disclosed. According to an embodiment of the invention, the modem management system comprises the steps of receiving a short message service message at the wireless modem and examining the short message service message for modem management information. If the short message service message comprises modem management information, then the wireless modem processes the short message service message.
A wireless modem is also disclosed, the wireless modem comprises electronic hardware and software for implementing a wireless protocol. A processor in the wireless modem is preferably configured to handle signals from an external device over an interface, and is also configured to handle one or more short message service messages delivered over a RF transceiver, the short message service messages comprising modem management information.
The figures of the accompanying drawings are depicted by way of example and not by way of limitation, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements.
The present invention comprises methods and techniques for operator independent, transparent wireless modem management using short message services. The invention is preferably embodied in methods and techniques in a wireless modem, although aspects of the invention can also be implemented in a remote (or "head-end") server. The invention preferably allows for the wireless modem to function not only as a slave device to a client computer, as in the past, but as an intelligent processing device. Furthermore, the wireless modem is configured to allow remote initialization of configuration parameters via short message service messages. The short message service messages can contain data that not only initializes the wireless modem's operating parameters, but data that calls other commands or applications executing internally or externally to the wireless modem. For example, the methods and techniques allow remote initialization of event detection and notification algorithms internal to the wireless modem. In another example, the methods and techniques allow remote initialization or control of a device external to the wireless modem, for example a utility meter, a vending machine, or other user equipment.
The wireless modem 204 is coupled to a wireless network 112, for example a GSM or GPRS network, via an over-the-air interface 110. The wireless network 112 is in turn coupled through a short message service center interface 114 to a head-end server 216. The head-end server 216 differs from head-end server 116 in that it is configured to send the SMS messages to the wireless modem 204, the SMS messages including the wireless modem management information. No special programming is required, however, on the head-end server 216, only the ASCII strings that comprise a standard SMS message need to be modified (as will be apparent in the description below, in particular with reference to Table 1).
A data flow diagram 250, also in
If, as a result of testing in step 312, a modem management command is recognized, then the SMS message is processed by a particular routine in the wireless modem in step 316. However, if testing in step 312 indicates that the SMS message should be passed through the wireless modem 204, then in step 320 the SMS message is passed through to the user equipment 220.
After either step 316 or step 320, the initial processing terminates. It is noted, however, that processing likely involves further steps or specific functions that don't involve the actual handoff or identification of inbound SMS messages. Since such specific processing steps are generally beyond the scope of the invention, they are not further detailed hereinafter, rather, in step 316 it is simply noted that the wireless modem processes the SMS message appropriately. In most cases, the same routines that handle data or commands from the user equipment 220 (for example the notification algorithms or other routines, as are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/44,020, which has been incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and, entitled "DATA TERMINAL APPARATUS", filed Sep. 20, 1999, which is now incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) are used to handle data and commands passed from the head-end server 216 by way of SMS messaging.
For example, additional commands can include directing a processor in the wireless modem 204 to check the quality of an RF signal detected at an RF transceiver, or to select a particular RF channel over the over-the-air interface will communicate certain information with the wireless modem. Further still, the commands can include directing a processor to retrieve a call history file or log that describes the calls sent from or received by the wireless modem 204.
For example, the AT command interface 404 can be adapted to handle specific functions or commands. Table 1 illustrates exemplary commands that a presently preferred AT command interface includes.
As for the mobile network layer 412, the parser software code (step 308 in
A general description of the remainder of the wireless protocol is now appropriate. The mobile network man-machine interface (MN) 412 (in addition to the functionality described above) receives data (for example from the AT command interface 404) and passes the data to the appropriate messaging service—e.g., a short message service (SMS) 416, a call control service (CC) 420, or a supplementary service (SS) 424. A registration element 408 will provide the mobility management layer 428 with necessary information about the data and the GSM network. From each of layers 408, 416, 420 and 424 data flow is then directed to and from the mobility management layer (MM) 428.
The mobility management layer 428 establishes, maintains, and releases connections with the GSM network. From the mobility management layer 428, data and control is passed to the radio resource management layer (RR) 432. The radio resource management layer 432 establishes physical connections over the radio interface (for example RF transceiver 120) for call-related signaling and traffic channels with a base station in the GSM network.
Connected to the radio resource management layer 432 is the physical layer (L1) 440. The physical layer 440 processes call-related signaling and traffic channels directly from the radio resource layer 432, and also processes the data sent from the data link layer (L2) 436.
An application program interface (API) 544 is added to GPRS Class C protocol stack 500 to allow an application to control the subnetwork dependent convergence protocol (SNDCP) 548, which is responsible for segmentation and re-assembly of data packets, encryption and decryption, and transmission control protocol (TCP) header and data compression.
Layers interfacing the AT command interface 404 include the registration layer 408 and mobile network man-machine interface layer 412, which in turn interface the SM layer 552 and GSMS (GPRS short message service) 556. The SM layer 552 and GSMS layer 556 interface the GPRS mobility management (GMM) layer 560, and both the GMM layer 560 and SNDCP layer 548 interface the link layer control (LLC) 564, which handles the link layer information of the packet data. It is noted that the SM layer 552 is the short message service layer—that is, like SMS layer 416, short messages are passed over a GSM control channel. This is in contrast to GSMS layer 556, where short messages are passed over a packet channel (thus, greater packet size and increased speed as compared to using the GSM control channel).
Link layer control 564 interfaces the GPRS resource management layer (GRR) 568. GPRS resource management layer 568 in turn interfaces medium access control/radio link control (RLC/MAC) layer 572, which handles the physical link processing, as well as physical layer 440.
A non-volatile memory 712, for example an electrically alterable but persistent memory such as flash memory or EEPROM, is communicatively coupled to the processor 708. The non-volatile memory 712 preferably holds software that is executed by the processor 708 including, but not limited to global system for mobile communications (hereinafter "GSM") protocol stack software and wireless modem management software (described above). A volatile memory 716, such as a random access memory, is also coupled to the processor 708. The volatile memory 716 preferably holds temporary program variables and other information used in a run-time environment, that is, when processor 708 is executing the GSM protocol stack software, the wireless modem management software, or other functions in the wireless modem 700.
A RF radio, or RF transceiver 720 is also coupled to the processor 708. The RF transceiver 720 handles physical modification of data and control signals for transmission to or reception from the over-the-air interface 110. Over-the-air interface 110 communicates with a base station (not shown) which is part of a GSM or GPRS network (not shown). General wireless communication standards such as GSM and GPRS are known in the art and thus it is not necessary that they be described in further detail here.
According to one embodiment, the processor 708 includes one or more I/O ports 724, for example interrupt inputs and/or serial data ports. The I/O ports 724 can be part of the processor 708, or they can be part of communications chip (e.g., a MAXIM Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, Calif., part no. MAX202E) that is coupled to the processor 708. A receptacle 728, for receiving a line 206 from the user equipment 220, is communicatively coupled to the processor 708 through the I/O port 724.
The various methods and techniques described herein are preferably implemented by way of one or more sequences of instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, such as a non-volatile memory communicatively coupled to one or more processors in the wireless modem. The sequences of instructions can be precompiled (as in the case of object code), or they can be interpreted instructions passed though the SMS messages. Furthermore, the methods can be implemented in a variety of programming languages, such as C, C++, assembly, Perl, or BASIC. As for the data and configuration parameters that are passed through the SMS messages, they can be implemented in text script that resembles a modified AT command set, or other programming languages such as the languages mentioned above.
As a result of the methods and techniques described herein, the wireless modem can be transformed from merely a transport device, to an intelligent processing device. The invention is a significant improvement over conventional modems, as it can integrate legacy equipment that has little or no processing ability, with a GSM or other wireless network and allow remote management and control from a head-end server. The invention thus allows for operator independent and transparent (vis-a-vis the user equipment) modem management capabilities—capabilities that allow the remote extension of the functionality of the wireless modem, since the SMS message can include program code that can execute on the wireless modem.

The Kurdish town of Kobanê has recently become the centre of a geopolitical conflagration that may well change the course of Middle Eastern politics. After months of silence over the threat faced by Kurds from ISIS, the world is now finally watching, even if the 'international community' remains conspicuously quiet. However, many Western responses, be it from scholars, journos or activists, have somewhat predictably retracted into recycled critiques of US and UK imperialism, often at the expense of missing what is truly exceptional and noteworthy in recent developments. So, in the style of contemporary leftist listicles, here are four things we can and should learn from events in and around Kobanê.
1. It's Time to Question the West's Fixation on ISIS
If Barack Obama, David Cameron and Recep Tayyip Erdogan are to be believed, the 'savagery' of 'fundamentalism' is the primary focus of NATO involvement in Syria. Notably, many left critics have reproduced this very same fixation on ISIS when discussing Western interests. However, for an almighty imperialist organisation supposedly hell bent on stopping 'Islamic extremism', NATO have been curiously ineffective. In fact, the US has been indirectly responsible for arming ISIS and altogether incompetent and/or reluctant in arming the decidedly secular Kurdish resistance. US and UK air strikes have been fleeting, and at best symbolic, making little impact on the advance of ISIS. Moreover, Turkey has repeatedly turned a blind eye to ISIS's use of its territories and borders for training activities and supply lines, respectively. More recently, as Kobanê teetered on the edge of conquest, Turkey insisted any military assistance was dependent on the Kurdish PYD abandoning self-determination and self-governing cantons, and agreeing to Turkish buffer zone in Kurdish controlled areas in Northern Syria (which amounts to little more than a colonial land grab). Now, considering the US and UK were keen to intervene long before ISIS was seen as a threat, and considering Turkey long-standing hostility to the PKK/PYD, we should be more demanding of any analysis of intervention that begins and ends with ISIS. In short, it is becoming increasingly clear that ISIS is little more than a pretext for NATO to pursue other geopolitical aims – namely removing Assad and destroying Kurdish autonomy.

diorama stuff needed
Posted 06 July 2009 - 01:24 PM
Posted 07 July 2009 - 02:19 PM
hi...im building a larger beach diorama and im looking for anything that might be of use....coolers...boogie boards etc....i know i have seen the cooler some where but havent been able to find them again.....any help thanks....neal
For the cooler, check out Scale Equipment Limited and other sites dealing with aftermarket diorama details. I had the link below bookmarked for reference purposes, but the google search below that will turn up a few places to look at.
Cooler Link
Google search for Resin Diorama Accessories
I have also found them on eBay from time to time. Just go to the model section and do a search for Resin. You'll have to dig through all the adds to find what you're looking for though.
As for the Boogie Boards, that's going to be something you're going to have to make for yourself more than likely. Check out my Oasis thread in the Diorama section. There is a short section on building items using plastic signs from WalMart and Lowes. That might help some as an idea for building the boards even though I built games in my thread. With something as basic as a boogie board, it shouldn't be too hard to duplicate.
Hope this helps,
-Scott H.

Back in high school while taking art classes, "the only class I got A's and B's in", I built a table top car-show scene for one of my plastic models that I had way back then. It was actually one of Fujimi's 89 Honda CRX SI models.
I wanted a trash can with trash in/out of it like what you'd see at a large out door car-show type event. So, I used the little black containers that roll's of film are stored for when you drop the roll's off to be developed. The container was the perfect size and look for a large trash can usually found at such events. Even the lid's looked right and worked well. I took pieces of paper, tinfoil, and other scraps of material and made my own 1/24 scale "trash".
I had the trash can opened and filled with trash and the lid propped on the side of the can. For the scale of the model I was working with, it looked quit good!
It was free, easy, and fun to do.
If you can even find this type of film container, it might be just perfect for your beach scene.

In an end of day Commons debate, the last of this session, the Cumbernauld MP, who is his party's pensions spokesman, will argue that Scots get a better deal as part of the UK with a higher proportion of HMRC jobs based in Scotland than in the rest of the UK.
He will say there are 9,090 HMRC jobs in Scotland compared to a UK-wide figure of 69,985. This is 13 per cent of the jobs for just 8.4 per cent of the population; this, he will say, produces a "3,211 jobs dividend for Scotland being part of the UK".
Ahead of his debate, Mr McClymont said: "The figures are clear. Scotland gets a good deal when it comes to UK public sector jobs.
"When you are administering a tax system for five million people rather than 63m, you will need far fewer staff. I know what an important part of the local economy the tax office can be.
"As part of the UK we can have the best of both worlds; a strong Scottish Parliament with the guarantee of more powers without losing the strength, stability and security of being part of the UK."

Quarterback Kordell Stewart was in Pittsburgh today and officially announced his retirement from football. Stewart took his last snap under center for the Baltimore Ravens back in 2005 and his retirement today, seven years after his last snap in the NFL, seems to have been an effort by him to get some kind of closure. The man that was affectionately nicknamed Slash, because of his ability to pass, run and receive, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2nd round (60th overall) of the 1995 NFL Draft out of the University of Colorado.

LEHMAN v. CITY OF SHAKER HEIGHTS
- 1970-1979
Harry Lehman was running for the Ohio House of Representatives in the 56th District, which included the city of Shaker Heights. Lehman wanted to have his campaign advertisements placed on the side of Shaker Heights' streetcars. Metromedia, Inc. was designated by the city to manage that advertising space. Metromedia's contract with the city prohibited it from placing political advertisements on the streetcars. It was allowed, however, to place advertisements from businesses and public service groups. Lehman's request was denied, and he sued in the Ohio Court of Appeals for Cuyahoga County alleging that Shaker Heights' policy violated his free speech rights. The Ohio Court of Appeals ruled for the city. The Supreme Court of Ohio affirmed the decision.
Did Shaker Heights' policy against political advertising on its streetcars violate the free speech clause of the First Amendment?
Legal provision: Amendment 1: Speech, Press, and Assembly
No. In a 5-4 decision, the Court affirmed the Supreme Court of Ohio and found no violation of the First or Fourteenth Amendments. Writing for a plurality of four justices, Justice Harry A. Blackmun asserted that "no First Amendment forum is here to be found," as the streetcars did not qualify as a "public thoroughfare." Accordingly, the city "need not accept every proffer of advertising." The city could reject certain types of advertising as long as the policies were not "arbitrary, capricious, or invidious." Given the "reasonable legislative objectives" of minimizing "chances of abuse, the appearance of favoritism, and the risk of imposing upon a captive audience," Shaker Heights' policy was not unconstitutional.
