I'm really pleased that I can play this game on my GTX 280 rig with no issues. If the game would provide better visuals, we wouldn't be able to play it with our old systems...
Like I said in the other thread, Crysis 1 was a visual revolution, Crysis 2 is a performance/optimization revolution. This can be a really, really good thing for upcoming PC version of CryEngine 3 games
GTX285 is not old hardware, a PS3 and X360 is, you should be clear about the lifespan of GPU's as atm there isnt many games that are DX9 or 10 that i dont run full whack with at least 8xAA. The fact that im able to do that pisses me off as i want games that can be played in higher settings when i do decide to upgrade. DX11 is atm not worth the upgrade.
Redeemed you need to stop tarnishing all PC gamers with the same brush...because everyone has different opinions, i was happy with the performance and visual quality of Crysis 1 on its release and i as a PC gamer knew at the time that in 12 months i would get a new GPU and be able to play Crysis at higher settings...some didn't like that and some did. Unfortunately this is not possible with Crysis 2.
Eventually PC games will be just the same as console versions on every release. Good news for the console owners bad news for PC owners and the PC platform.

Chandler was both more willing than most publishers to reinvest the paper's rising profits in editorial improvements and more visionary in his approach to newspapering. He foresaw the sprawling megalopolis that Los Angeles and its neighboring counties would become, and he wanted The Times to be the dominant paper "from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border."
He started the Orange County edition to serve the burgeoning population there -- the first such satellite plant for any metropolitan daily in the country.
Concerned by the growing competition from television, Chandler urged his editors to transform the paper into a regional daily newsmagazine that placed a high premium on analysis, interpretation and good writing -- not just covering the day's events but putting them in context and doing so in a lively and compelling fashion.
Ever concerned with the paper's image and visibility nationally, he teamed with Philip Graham, then publisher of the Washington Post, to create the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service to distribute the paper's stories to client papers.
Unencumbered by union contracts, Chandler made major technological improvements at The Times, shifting from traditional "hot type" letterpress production to more flexible photo-composition and offset printing and making The Times the first major newspaper in the United States to computerize typesetting.
At the same time, he shifted the paper's editorial page philosophy from the extreme right to slightly left of center. His goal, he once quipped, was to make it a "militant middle-of-the-road paper."
He moved gradually at first, then much more quickly, especially after hiring Day, who joined the paper as chief editorial writer in 1969 and later became editor of the editorial pages.
"Otis said he wanted a more assertive, more liberal editorial page," Day said. "He wanted the paper to take what he called more 'balls out' positions, and he wanted us to change our position and editorialize against the war in Vietnam."
Although Chandler had been opposed to Sen. Barry Goldwater in the 1964 presidential race, he had deferred to his father and reluctantly agreed to run an editorial before the Republican convention pledging The Times' traditional support to whomever the party chose as its nominee -- and that turned out to be Goldwater.
But in 1968, the paper endorsed Democrat Alan Cranston for U.S. Senate over Republican Max Rafferty, whom it called "an outspoken, militant conservative."
Although The Times had, on rare occasion, endorsed conservative Democrats for state legislative and U.S. House seats, the backing of a Democrat for such a high office "was a momentous decision," Chandler said in the 2005 interview.
The increasingly liberal stand on most major issues angered many in the Chandler family. Until shortly before his death in 1973, Chandler's father had helped insulate him from those protests. But Otis had certainly been aware of the family pressure.
"They didn't like the L.A. Times," he said in the 2005 interview. "They resented my position at the L.A. Times and felt there were a lot of things I could have done differently."
The shift on the editorial page came as the region itself, once dependably Republican, was becoming less conservative.
"The region was changing, the demographic was changing, the type of paper was changing," he said. "There were so many changes going on, and I think if we hadn't kept up with the flow, The Times wouldn't have continued to do well financially.... I'm glad we did what we did."
Chandler's primary role was to provide the impetus, framework and financial support for change, rather than dictating specifics. But he did send memos to Williams, the editor, periodically in his early years as publisher -- criticizing the business and sports sections, for example, and complaining about the content and design of the Sunday magazine, then as now called West.
Williams was 21 years older than Chandler and often pulled in his reins. Chandler later praised his editor for frequently "reminding a young publisher that you can't change a whole paper overnight."
By the time Thomas became editor in 1971, many of the major changes had been made, resistance had greatly diminished and Chandler was stepping back to take a broader view.
"My style was to do the job and push the boundaries, and once Otis realized I knew what I was doing, he let me do it," Thomas said. That was Chandler's style as a boss, he said: Pick the right people and stay out of their way.
Thomas was largely responsible for the great length and literary style of many Times stories -- qualities for which the paper became both celebrated and criticized. Even Chandler said some of those long stories made the paper seem "gray, somewhat dull" at times.


text: In this post series we look at less known wrestlers from the past that most people may not remember as a way to let those wrestlers have a moment in the sun one more time and maybe even get remembered. Well this time on Superstar Recall we will be looking back at a very special gimmick wrestler from the late 80's and early 90's in WWE/F named Battle Kat. Now most people may not know who Battle Kat is or was. However, he was one of the more unique gimmick jobber during this period in WWF because he actually wore a cat mask during his matches. His real name is Brady Boone who had some to a very small amount of success as Brady Boone in a couple of territories but most his notoriety likely comes from being a referee after his active wrestling career ended. Brady worked as a ref for the WCW for a few years until is untimely passing in 1999 as a result of a horrific car accident on his way back from a WCW TV Taping. The way I remember Brady is that he had one of if not the most unique gimmick in wrestling history because he dressed up like a cat, which is something not many others can say they've done in their career. Below is some footage of the Battle Kat in action:

I like the last one. I'm not sure what it is but it looks cool

The last one are fountains made to imitate dandelions.
I don't have much time, so: nice shots.

the las shot is very nice...and i have the same fountaine in my city.
My guarding angel is a double agent !!

#1 truely is magical. I like that out of focus/soft bloom effect on the highest branches and leaves. Burned sky would normally be a no no but in this case it works for the better Well spotted and executed.
#2: Photo of a building. The angle doesn't quite give right to the building and shot with the sun behind it leaves the building bland and less contrasty. If you want more from this building you'd have to wait for another time of the day, shoot it from the sun's side, pinpoint some fine details or try something abstract with the lines... I don't know
#3: Photo of a fountain. Sorry for the lack of criticism but can't think of any
--> #1 is definately the strongest of the lot. Good job!
Maybe someone else can give more thorough ciritcs than my ramblings
February 20th, 2007 #6
T.Luu, there's a church near where I live, I wasn't sure quite what to do with it when it comes to photographing it, but now you've given me an angle to approach it from at least. So I can at least say your crits aren't all bad.
I originally opened this thread to make a post about something I didn't have time to earlier, and that's that the building photo is a little large, meaning that not all of it fits on the screen at the same time. This has a negative effect as all that sky at the top makes the building look tall and majestic and with the viewer not being able to see all the building at the sky at the same time the effect is ruined, which isn't nice. The viewing pleasure of the photo is ruined slightly, it's a shame. The building does look tall without the sky, but the sky does add something a little extra - like adding a triangle to the orchestra, that little extra 'ping' (yes, I can think of better comparisons, just I like this one too much not to use it).
Though another reason I now see for opening this thread [other than to read T.Luu's building crit] is that now I can comment on your first picture in more detail after seeing it again in more detail (due to more time)... it's so purdy! A little fuzzy (it appears I'm on a crusade against fuzzy today, but not Fuzzybär, we all love him) though I love how the light comes through the leaves like that... nice.
February 20th, 2007 #7
#1: the effect is very well conveyed
#2: a bit on the side of the banal
#3: well composed
February 22nd, 2007 #8
Haha, it fits fine on my screen, thats a problem i will have to adress in future.
yeah 1 is my favorate, shooting on a Canon 5d with a 16-35 mm lens so you get that beautifull effect of everything bending away from the center of the lens. i just liked 3 for its DOF, 2 i only really like for its perspective, i would agree that the building itself is bland and low contrast but i still like the shot.

I love the first one, it has a CG quality to it.

Anyhooooo, very good work on number one.

But it's a photo, and it reminds me of the CG bloom graphics that are common in games these days, particularly The Elder Scrolls Oblivion.

i would agree with John.D I think that a photo can have the same properties of a artificially created image eg. a photo that one would assume that was not possible to create without artifical help

Eastern redcedar juniper are drought-tolerant plants well suited for Texas climate
Dear Neil: What tall shrubs can we plant to conceal a hideous view just beyond our 90-acre rural hillside? It must be drought-tolerant. If the plants block sounds of the ugly, noisy industrial complex that has been built next door, so much the better.
A: For almost all of Texas, my answer will be eastern redcedar juniper (Juniperus virginianus). It's suited to a wide variety of soil types, and if you'll give it enough water to get it jump-started the first couple of years, it can do very well from that point forward. Zig-zag the plants randomly, rather than a long, straight row. That will give you a quicker visual blockade, plus it will look more natural. Plant them 18 to 24 feet apart to allow them room to grow together. Your nursery can order them in for you, or they do grow natively in much of the state. Knee-high plants actually are a lot less expensive, they transplant more easily and they establish more quickly. Winter is the time to plant them if you're having to dig them. Talk to your local independent retail nurseryman. Yes, redcedars do occasionally have bagworms in late spring, but in those few years when the insects are a problem, they are easily controlled with almost any general-purpose insecticide if caught early. Arizona cypress might be my second choice, although certainly not my preference. Plants I would not suggest for big parts of Texas due to diseases include Leyland cypress and Eldarica pines.
Dear Neil: I am trying to save money by starting some rose-of-Sharon and coral bells plants from seed in a makeshift little greenhouse in my kitchen. It's covered with greenhouse plastic. I have a heat mat and double ballast plant light inside that, but my plants are struggling. What might the problem be?
A: I've been an avid gardener all of my life, and it breaks my heart to see people struggling when they're trying to enjoy the hobby. I have bad news: both althaeas and coral bells are hybrid plants. That means that they do not reproduce genetically "true" from seed. That in turn means that, while you will get althaeas and coral bells, there is no predicting their quality or color. Althaeas are grown from cuttings or air layers, and coral bells plants are divided. And artificial lighting indoors amounts to probably only 5 or 10 percent of the intensity of full winter sunlight in an actual greenhouse, so these tabletop indoor greenhouse set-ups are more about marketing than they are about great results. At least that's my opinion. My suggestion to save money by growing some of your other plants would be to invest in a cold frame outdoors. Look into them online, and see if that might not allow you to extend your growing season and save a few bucks. Or one of the small 6- or 8-foot greenhouses for the yard. They tend to overheat quickly, so that becomes the challenge with them, but even that is easier to live with than interior lighting. Good luck!
Dear Neil: Are persimmons adapted to Texas? Where can I buy them? I remember them from North Carolina.
A: The type you had in North Carolina will also do well in Texas. You're probably talking about eastern persimmon (Dispyros virginiana). It's native clear across the southern United States, including the eastern half of Texas. Its fruit is ripening right now. Or the Asian persimmons such as Fuyu, Hachiya and Eureka will also do well in our gardens. Your local nursery will probably offer them over the winter. If they do not, you can order them from several Texas mail order sources. Womack Nursery in DeLeon has a large selection, as does Bob Wells Nursery in Lindale.
Dear Neil: Should Texas rockrose be cut back? When should it be done?
A: Yes. In fact, most of the winter-hardy mallows and hibiscus species die completely back to their roots with the first freeze of the fall. Trim the tops off at that point, and put a 1- to 2-inch layer of mulch over them to keep things tidy. Shredded tree leaves you've collected off the lawn in your mower bag would be great.
Dear Neil: I have a number of nice hostas I'd like to dig and divide, but I don't want to disfigure them. Should I divide them into two or four pieces, and must I wait until after the freeze kills their tops?
Dear Neil: Great questions. Since hostas are just a bit south of their most preferred cooler climate when we grow them in Texas, I prefer not to challenge them too much. I would opt for two plants per clump, and I would wait until just about the last thing before frost. My hostas typically have faded almost back to their roots before the first freeze, so you'll have ample time to do it before it turns really cold.
If you'd like Neil's help with your plant question, drop him a note to Gardener's Mailbag, P.O. Box 864, McKinney, TX 75070 or email your questions to email@example.com. Watch here for his reply.

Before we get to the upcoming playoff series with the Knicks, let's address the roster situation for the final two regular season games – Tuesday vs Indiana and Wednesday at Toronto.

He's still expected to play during Tuesday's visit from the Pacers. Rivers might joke that he's got a touch of the veteran's flu (it typically passes quickly after practice days). * TERRY OUT VS. PACERS: Rivers said veteran guard Jason Terry will sit out his second consecutive game on Tuesday and noted the 35-year-old might do the same on Wednesday unless he lobbies for floor time. Is something ailing him? "No, just his legs have been bothering him and so we want to make sure he has no issues going into the playoffs," said Rivers. Terry's attitude about these final two games seems to suggest he'll take the extended rest before the p

By editor
Police say a man in Boise, Idaho, went running naked through a park. Police gave chase. When they caught up to him, the naked man had become entangled in the barbed wire on top of a fence.

Well I prefer something quiet that we agree upon to be a place of our choosing for conversation and see if there's chemistry.
I'd like to just do what ever you want to do
If we were to go on a date I would pick you up and take you wherever you want or maybe we can stay home and cool a meal together
Dinner is always a good idea. I am up for anything though
I don't care if the place is not fancy enough. All we would need is a place where we could talk and get to know each other better
It really does not matter, just as long as it's not chilling in the house on the 1st date. I do not club hop anymore so that's out of the question.
Walk talk and hang out get to know each other
Going for a walk are long drive to get to know each other after a nice dinner.
We go to a restaurant where we sit and talk. Building curiosity and energy together.
Go out to eat, and then take a walk to get to know one another.
Simplicity is key
Ideally the first date would be us, home with a couple drinks a good movie and a cover cuddled on a couch.
My first the idea is a nice romantic dinner at a really nice restaurant or a nice dinner when I will cook for the girl:)
There is no better way to start to get to know eachother than a nice dinner, and the drinks will definitely make things more comfortable with less pressure.

Current Research
During the past years Professor Rogers has been conducting research in three principal areas: immigration and the regional geography of the foreign-born population in the United States, elderly migration and settlement patterns, and the indirect estimation of migration. Imagine the geography of the foreign-born population in the United States at the middle of this century, and imagine its changes since then. How did the demographic processes of immigration, emigration, internal migration, and mortality act to shape the changing geography? How did the fertility patterns of foreign-borns and native-borns combine with the migration and mortality patterns of the latter to shape the geography of the native-born population and the consequent foreign-born shares of regional populations? How have the internal migration patterns of the foreign-borns differed from those of the native-born population? How have the internal migration patterns of the elderly differed from those of the non-elderly populations? Assisted by several graduate and undergraduate students, Professor Rogers has been seeking answers to such questions by modeling the spatial population dynamics of sub-populations in the United States during the past half-century.
Although the principal focus of the multi-year studies of the foreign-born and elderly populations have been their interregional migration and spatial redistribution in the United States, the absence of adequate data on territorial mobility--for example, on emigration--necessitated some of the estimates of some migration streams to be made indirectly. In the process new methodological approaches had to be explored and tested for the first time, drawing on the emerging literature on the statistical analysis of data with missing values. Some of the results were presented at a workshop on the indirect estimation of migration that was convened in Estes Park in early 1999, leading to the publication of a special issue of Mathematical Population Studies edited by Professor Rogers and devoted to this topic. This was followed by a short course on indirect estimation offered by Professor Frans Willekens of the University of Groningen in The Netherlands in July (PowerPoint presentations to accompany the course on "Loglinear Modeling and Missing Data" are available for download), and the receipt of two grants from the National Science Foundation to support current collaborative work on this topic. Several articles published in 2001-2007 describe some of the findings of this research. A National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded conference on this topic was convened in September of 2004; the papers are available for downloading from website: www.colorado.edu/ibs/POP/ccemconf. A research grant from NIH provided the funding for continuing this work. A book, "The Indirect Estimation of Migration", was published in 2010 (see below).
