Customer reviews
From the creators of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption…
It's almost exactly 10 years since Rockstar Games and Remedy worked together on the original Max Payne, and eight years since Max Payne 2. With Max Payne 3, Rockstar Studios' aim was to use every tool at their disposal – from advances in Euphoria physics, particle effects and AI, to a new creative approach to Max's classic comic-book panels, combined with Rockstar's notoriously obsessive attention to detail – to create a highly cinematic action shooter.
"…the multiplayer is enjoyable, the single-player campaign is a knockout." 9/10 – Gamespot "…Max Payne 3..has the conviction to reign in the action, imbue it with purpose – the spectacle still sparkles but it also makes sense." 9/10 – IGN
Max Payne 3 is set eight years after the events of the last instalment. No longer a cop, Max is close to washed-up, drunk and addicted to painkillers. Without a job on the force, Max has left the greater New York area, and he finds himself in Sao Paulo, Brazil, working in the burgeoning field of private security.The story of Max's descent from vengeful, leather-jacket wearing detective roaming the alleys of New York to the broken, shaven-headed man out for justice on unfamiliar streets far from home is at the center of Max Payne 3.
- The combination of Natural Motion's Euphoria character behavior system and Bullet Time adds a new level to Max's classic shoot-dodge moves. Shoot-dodge is not a canned animation, but a natural interaction with the environment, as Max will reach out to the floor as he dives, and naturally respond to objects in his way if you attempt to dive into a wall or obstacle
- This marriage of slow-motion gunplay and Euphoria physics amplifies the cinematic action of Max Payne 3 significantly, and enemies will also respond realistically to each bullet fired.
- Max Payne 3 extends the concept of Bullet-Time to now include game areas of the game that will trigger set pieces involving Bullet-Time. These provide epic moments of action that allow Max to take out enemies in a new interpretation of Max Payne's signature style.
- Bullet-Cams return: in keeping with the stylish gunplay for which Max is known, Bullet-Cams deliver players a reward for downing enemies with a satisfying final kill
- Max Payne 3 takes the graphic novel panels of the earlier games and evolves them by utilizing in-game assets to create a motion comic-style approach.
- James McCaffrey, the original voice of Max, is back. Not only as the voice of max, but Max's appearance, face and many of his movements in Max Payne 3 are all captured directly from James himself.
- Max Payne 3 features an integrated cover system. Cover adds an extra strategic element to the classic shoot-dodge/bullet-time/ run-and-gun mechanics of Max Payne, providing players with new options in any given situation
- Tremendous detail has been paid to every facet of Max Payne 3: Bullets destroy nearly everything in the environment, sweat will appear on Max's face and shirt as the heat of battle wears on, and blood soaks the clothing of his enemies. You'll also notice the minute details of the weapons themselves: hammers cock back, slides move, shells expel from the chamber and literally hundreds more.
- Partners and sidekicks will play a large role in Max Payne 3. Hundreds of hours of custom motion-capture were done for individual characters, making traditional in-game encounters completely unique, such as enemies sweeping a room or simply the way Max's partners will behave as they move through the game.

One reason why there's so few women in games. And another. And another…
by Alex Hern Published
A screenshot from the game Arkham Asylum.
The video games industry is not the friendliest of places for women. Tales of misogyny behind the scenes abound, while most mainstream games themselves treat women as though they are still being made for an audience of primarily teenage boys.But the voices of the women actually in that industry are rarely heard, particularly in aggregate. Which is why the hashtag #1reasonwhy is so important.

NYS Prison-to-College Pipeline (P2CP)
The goal of the Prison to College Pipeline (P2CP) is to increase the number of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people who go to college and succeed there. In a broader sense, the initiative tests a model for the vital role that public universities might play in using higher education to promote successful prisoner reentry and, by extension, generate safer and more robust communities.
The Prison to College Pipeline is an initiative of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, one of the senior colleges of the City University of New York (CUNY). P2CP represents a dynamic partnership between two major public institutions: CUNY and the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS). The initiative addresses a question posed by John Jay College's President, Jeremy Travis, "If over 700,000 people are leaving our prisons, how should the nation's educational institutions be organized to help them make a successful transition to free society?" The P2CP recognizes that part of the answer involves both work in the correctional system and work in the community. The initiative, thus, includes strategies to:
- Contribute in a variety of ways to the intellectual life of prisons;
- Identify and develop candidates for college while they are in prison;
- Assist people returning to the community in continuing their education in college; and
- Provide support to college students with criminal records to increase their retention, timely graduation, and subsequent employment.
In the fall of 2011, after a year of work to design the program model and establish the necessary relationships and protocols, P2CP started delivering classes at Otisville Correctional Facility, a medium security men's institution approximately two hours from New York City. The students were selected from a pool of applicants who had their high school diploma or GED, were eligible for release within five years, and who passed the CUNY reading and writing assessment tests. Candidates then submitted essays and were interviewed for the available slots in the inaugural class. Through a partnership between John Jay College, Hostos Community College and the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, P2CP has served a total of 56 students since August 2011:
- 26 students incarcerated at Otisville Correctional Facility and 30 students from John Jay's campus in New York City who attended monthly seminars with the students at Otisville.
- 12 Otisville students have been released to the community.�
- 4 are successfully enrolled in CUNY institutions, two at John Jay, one at Hostos Community College and another at Bronx Community College; 2 others have started the enrollment process.
- All are currently employed, enrolled in a training program or internship
- None have returned to prison
- Recruitment for the Fall 2014 semester has begun at three correctional facilities, Otisville, Greene and Wallkill.
- P2CP has completed its first developmental education course serving 11 students. Additional courses are planned for the spring/summer 2014
Elements of the pilot include:
- Academic Coursework—Students are enrolled through the CUNY Justice Academy, a partnership between Hostos Community College and John Jay College. They earn college credit taking foundational courses taught weekly in the prison by John Jay and Hostos faculty.
- Workshop Series—Bi-weekly sessions focus on the skills, attitudes, and behaviors associated with "Success in College and in Life."
- Learning Exchanges—John Jay students join DOCCS students in monthly seminars taught by CUNY professors that expose them to a diverse range of disciplines.
- Reentry Planning—A community partner, the Osborne Association, conducts social service needs assessments and develops case plans for men while they are still in prison. These plans address the range of individual reentry needs: residence, subsistence, treatment and health issues, family concerns and compliance with criminal justice conditions, and connect the person with a case manager in the community who sees him when he is released.
- College Placement—Another partner, the College Initiative (CI), meets with P2CP students to help them determine their desired course of study, choose the appropriate CUNY college(s) or community college(s), apply for admission and for financial aid. CI also matches students to mentors who work with them at least throughout the first year of college in the community
Four characteristics distinguish the P2CP:
- Based in the public system of higher education—This feature is vital because of the rich history CUNY has of providing quality education to typically under-served communities and, for financial and other reasons, our students are more likely to pursue their educational within the CUNY system than in private institutions. There is also a potentially important role for SUNY in this initiative.
- Educational timing—P2CP tests the hypothesis that college work in the three to five years prior to release can be pivotal in setting a positive course for reentry, making it more likely that someone will pursue educational opportunities when released and, ultimately, succeed in college and a career.
- Pipeline program model—This model leverages limited resources for in-prison programs and ultimately serves more people by starting college in prison with the intention of funneling students into college in the community to finish their degree. To that end, all students in the program that maintain passing grades are guaranteed a seat in a CUNY institution upon release.
- Learning exchanges—Seminars that bring John Jay students into the prison classroom have a dual purpose of exposing students in prison to a traditional college classroom experience and providing John Jay students with first-hand experience of prison and prisoners. The exchange is life altering for students from both groups.
The connection between higher education and reduced recidivism has been established through research. In one study, individuals who earned an Associate's degree were 62 percent less likely to return to prison than those who did not (Batiuk, Lahm, McKeever, Wilcox and Wilcox 2005). The College Bound program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in New York was the subject of the 2001 study Changing Minds, which included a quantitative analysis on the rate of recidivism of the 274 prisoners who participated and 2,031 female offenders released between 1985 and 1999. The study found that 36 months after release, the women in the Mercy College program had a 7.7 percent return-to-custody rate while the non-participants had a 29 percent return-to-custody rate (Fine et al. 2001). Moreover, participants in higher education programs had higher levels of employment and wages than those who completed other education programs (Jenkins, Steurer, and Pendry 1995).
A cost-benefit analysis conducted by the University of California at Los Angeles found that the cost to the state per crime prevented by offering education to inmates is about $1,600; the cost per crime prevented by extending prison sentences is $2,800. In other words, "[a] $1 million investment in incarceration will prevent about 350 crimes, while that same investment in education will prevent more than 600 crimes. Correctional education is almost twice as cost effective as incarceration." Given the strong evidence that education can serve as a powerful force for overcoming the negative effects of incarceration—including increasing labor market potential, as well as promoting societal advancement—focusing resources on this initiative promises to reap significant public benefits.
The John Jay College Prisoner Reentry Institute engaged Dr. Michelle Fine of the Graduate Center to study the shift in identity that occurs when someone with a criminal history becomes a college student, and the factors that support and inhibit their engagement and success in college. This work has been undertaken as Participatory Action Research (PAR) and will be published in the spring of 2013.
Currently, PRI is framing additional research into the life course of P2CP students with special attention to their experience of education and their criminal justice involvement before, during and after incarceration. The research is being conducted by Kevin Barnes-Ceeney, Ph.D.
On Wednesday, September 4, 2013, Bianca Van Heydoorn, the Director of Education Initiatives at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, along with Krystlelynn Caraballo, visited The Doe Fund's dispatch center to thank the organization for the important work that they do with the college's Prison-to-College Pipeline program. Full story here.
The John Jay Magazine highlights the Prison-to-College Pipeline in an article entitled Opening Up a Pipeline: Education Program Helps Pave the Way for Prisoner Reentry.
Criminal Justice Matters travels to Otisville Correctional Facility in upstate New York to examine a pioneering program that helps offenders attend CUNY colleges after their release. It's called the "Prison-to-College Pipeline" and was the brainchild of John Jay Professor, Baz Dreisinger. Also on the program is State Assemblyman Jeff Aubry from Queens, an ardent champion of education in prisons who helped get the Prison-to-College Pipeline off the ground. See the interview here.

Josh L.
Crissy had been waiting for me to propose for the past six months. One day in early December, she announced that she would be growing out her nails so that they would look nice when people looked at the ring on her finger. Since I was planning to propose in the next month anyway, I told her to go ahead and do it. Knowing Christmas was her favorite time of the year, I decided to have a custom ornament made that said, "Crissy, will you marry me? Josh." I wanted to discreetly hang it up on the Christmas tree while we were taking down the ornaments. I ordered the ornament in late December and expected it to arrive in about a week. Unfortunately, the place that I had ordered the ornament from was having some manufacturing delays in getting it to me. Each day, I expected it to come in, and with each week that passed, I would say to Crissy, "Let's enjoy the tree a little longer and take the Christmas tree down the next week." Of course, Crissy was delighted to hear that and quickly agreed.
In the meantime, Crissy's nails grew longer and longer, until one of them finally broke. One evening, she said to me, "My nail broke! I'm going to have to cut my nails and start over!" Obviously, she wasn't happy about the fact that I hadn't proposed yet. I couldn't say much other than look her in the eyes and assure her it was okay for her to grow them out again. The ornament finally arrived three weeks after I placed the order. It was beautiful: the text had come out perfectly, and it had a nice silver frame. On January 20, we finally decided it was time to take down our tree because it was getting quite brittle. Our plan was to take down all the ornaments with special meanings first so that they could go in a separate box. When the last special ornament was being put away, I said to her, "Why don't you make one more pass, just to make sure we haven't missed any special ornaments." As she made her way around the tree, I just stood there looking at her, knowing what was coming in just a few seconds. My heart was racing. When she found it, her facial expression slowly changed from one of confusion over what ornament was on the tree, to one of recognition, smiles and tears. I got on one knee and proposed.

Citrix Releases XenServer 6.1
Citrix announces version 6.1 of XenServer – a complete server virtualization platform built on the open source Xen hypervisor.
Citrix has released a new version of its XenServer virtualization platform. XenServer 6.1 enhancements include advanced virtual machine migration, increased vendor compatibility, and automated virtual machine conversion tools.
XenServer 6.1 offers enhanced integration with leading cloud platforms. According to the announcement, direct integration with Apache CloudStack and Citrix CloudPlatform makes it easy to partition firewalls, balance workloads, and prevent attacks on systems in both public and private cloud environments.
XenServer 6.1 also includes new Storage XenMotion technology that lets admins move running virtual machines without the need for shared storage. With Storage XenMotion, live migration occurs using a "shared nothing" architecture, whereby the storage used for the virtual disks can be moved freely within and across pools for optimized storage utilization.
Additionally, the latest version provides the XenServer Conversion Manager tool, which automates batch conversions of VMware virtual machines into XenServer virtual machines.
XenServer 6.1 is available now in four versions – free, Advanced, Enterprise, and Platinum. The free edition of XenServer starts with a 64-bit hypervisor, centralized management, live migration, and conversion tools. All versions of XenServer include XenCenter management and are available on a per server licensing structure with premium editions starting at US$ 1000 per server.

Talking about a $2 billion deficit in Washington can seem unreal -- it's a number almost too big for the average person to imagine, but one that might have very real consequences for thousands of Tri-Citians.
And it's the number that will be the focus of lawmakers' discussion and debate as the Legislature convenes in a 30-day special session Monday to tackle that deficit before it ordinarily would meet to write a supplemental budget starting in January.
The actual shortfall between projected revenue and the biennial budget as written is about $1.4 billion, but Gov. Chris Gregoire is asking lawmakers to cut enough to leave $600 million in reserves.
A budget proposal released last Monday by Gregoire suggested cutting more than $500 million from K-12 and higher education, including reducing the K-12 school year by four days; cutting more than $690 million from health and human services, including eliminating Basic Health Plan coverage for 35,000 people; and cutting off state-funded food stamps for low-income people, among myriad other cuts.

Judy Sierra, author of the award-winning bestseller "Wild About Books," and J. Otto Seibold of "Olive, the Other Reindeer" fame use the familiar storybook character B(ig) B(ad) Wolf, who is now retired and residing at Villian Villa Senior Center, to create a funny original story. Very young children will delight in seeing this all-star cast of storybook characters--the three pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, the Gingerbread Boy, and others--interacting with B.B. Wolf in an entirely new, funny, and helpful story about knowing when to say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me." As she did in her E. B. White Read-Aloud Award winner "Wild About Books," Judy Sierra has written a story that begs to be read aloud.

The release party for Avril Lavigne's new record Goodbye Lullabye was last night, and you know what that means…Kardashian photo ops! Avril is one degree of separation away from all things Kardashian since she's dating step-Dash Brody Jenner, so of course her sister-in-law-by-dating, Kim, was in attendance. And actually, if you look closely at the photos, Kim appears to barely move from her position all night long. Hers was one of many awkward poses during the party which looked like it took place in someone's weird, leathery rec room where everyone was standing on couches. Check out our gallery for proof.

A Japanese police sergeant was recently arrested for illegally recording an anime movie in a move that will likely send a message to residents in Japan that Tokyo is able and willing to crack down hard on piracy.
The 38-year-old Fukushima Prefecture police official, who was not named, was charged on Oct. 22 for violating copyright laws, which have recently been beefed up, reported the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper. The charges were announced Thursday.
The movie in question was "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha," which is about young girls with magical powers in typical anime fashion and heavily features Japanese pop, according to the Japan Daily Press. Apparently, this is the second time the sergeant tried to illegally copy an anime film.
This time, he attempted to record the movie with a video camera while it was playing in a theater, according to the Press. Police investigators said the sergeant tried to record the movie in three different theaters.
According to Mianichi, he recorded the film between July and August of this year in Sendai and Fukushima cities.
He was caught by staff at the Fukushima City theater while he was setting up his recording equipment. When he was questioned, he said that the recording was for his own personal use and that he had no desire to sell it.
He said he wanted to take the film "for myself," according to the Sponichi Annex publication.
The police force said it would reduce the sergeant's salary by 10 percent for one month.
Under the new Japanese copyright protection laws passed this year, it is forbidden to use hidden recording devices in theaters. The law also added heavy fines and prison time for people who illegally download copyrighted content.
According to a report from the BBC in September, those who download content illegally face a 2 million yen ($25,700) fine.
"This revision will reduce the spread of copyright infringement activities on the Internet," Recording Industry Association of Japan Chairman Naoki Kitagawa was quoted by the BBC as saying. Naoki is the chief executive of Sony Music Entertainment Japan.

Group renovates building to help addicts
CORPUS CHRISTI - Steve Paulus doesn't have much, but what he does have he's willing to share.
The nine-year recovered addict has dedicated the past two months working to renovate an old synagogue on Craig Street, former home to the Metropolitan Community Church and Loving Spoonful organization.
It's the future site of The Ark Substance Abuse Recovery Center, which will help recovering alcohol and drug addicts.
The building, which has been unoccupied for two months, needs a lot of work and Paulus, executive director and founder, who has been footing all the bills, said group volunteer George Woods. The organization also has run into obstacles, he said.
The group is awaiting approval from the Internal Revenue Service to become a nonprofit, and also lacks funds to purchase the building. The organization is leasing the building from the Loving Spoonful.
"Everything is coming out of Steve's pockets, and he has shallow pockets," Woods said. "What's holding us up is money. We've had one donation -- $200."
The monthly operational cost is about $2,300 and the building's cost is about $190,000, Woods said. The project's total cost is unknown, he said.
Still, the group hopes to open its doors by the end of the year or early next year.
Although a handful of volunteers has been working around the clock, there still is a long way to go, Paulus said.
"We need construction materials, household items, volunteers, a scaffold," Paulus said. "We have a lot of needs."
Paulus decided to open the center after working at local rehabilitation center Charlie's Place. Most of the city's recovery centers cater to men, he said, and don't offer many programs to women. The Ark will be a residential facility for women only, offering about 30 dorms, he said.
The center also will offer group and individual therapy and inpatient and outpatient treatment.
Along with the 12-step program which was created by Alcoholics Anonymous, the Ark program is faith-based. It's based on the 12 steps but incorporates Christianity.
Residents also will have recreational events such as field trips and access to a library, recreation room with a big screen TV and pool table, Paulus said.
"This is about learning to stay clean and learning a new lifestyle," he said. "It's about learning how to have fun without getting high and learning how to make friends who want to stay clean."
Residents will be asked to pay on a sliding scale once the center opens, Paulus said. The organization also will take insurance.

Fans complicated Big Ten growing painsWritten by Chris Schmidbauer | | email@example.com
As I opened my personal e-mail account the other day, one message in particular stood out as I was scrolling through my e-mail. The subject of the e-mail was "A Special Message from Gene Smith." The sender, of course, was The Ohio State University Athletics Department.
My mind wandered for a while about what this special message could be until I started reading.
The topic of Smith's email was reassuring fans that there had been no decision made of the date of the Ohio State-Michigan game. At the time, there were still a lot of unknowns that went along with conference expansion.
The catalyst for all of the ill will from fans was Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee's comments to the press, stating he would like to see Michigan and Ohio State in separate divisions so they could play in a Big Ten championship game.
The university president wasn't alone.
Michigan athletics director David Brandon stated a similar notion. He had been quoted by several different media sources saying he thinks nothing would be better than a chance to play Ohio State twice in a season. Once, of course, would be the regular season matchup, and then a possibility that the next contest would be for a Big Ten title and a trip to Pasadena.
The fan revolt didn't stop at Gene Smith's email inbox.
There was a Facebook group created called Don't Mess with the Ohio State/Michigan Game with more than 10,000 fans begging and pleading to leave the annual rivalry game alone.
When Nebraska was added as the Big Ten's 12th member this past summer, it was evident things were going to have to change.
The anger was quelled a bit Sept. 1 when the new divisional lineups were announced. One division will house Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan State, Northwestern and Minnesota, and the other will hold Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana and Illinois.
Big Ten officials also announced an annual divisional crossover game in football so that rivalries like Ohio State-Michigan will be played every year, and it looks like "The Game" will stay in its end of November spot — at least for the next two years anyway.
The fans kicking and screaming forced the Big Ten to waffle under the immense pressure. Many celebrated it as a victory for fans everywhere, but I do not see it that way.
Unfortunately, the fans never understood that there was never going to be a perfect solution to appease everyone, and no matter what the conference did, someone would be unhappy. The decisions that were made Sept. 1 took into account the whole conference because the Big Ten is more than just Ohio State and Michigan.
The fan reaction was like that of a child, throwing a tantrum when they did not get their way.
There has been a standing consensus nationally that Big Ten football is stuck in the stone age of college football. Other conferences are on the cutting edge while the Big Ten is not. The expansion helped change that perception and vaulted the conference into modern football.
But the fans' reaction these past few weeks proved then even as the Big Ten tries to evolve, the fans may never let it happen.
This situation was not about purposely breaking a tradition.
To me, it was always about moving forward.
It was about growing. It was and still is about moving towards the future of college football.
It was these angry fans, who are stuck in time and averse to change, that have held back the conference and its football programs from evolving.
It was time to embrace the future, Buckeye and Wolverine fans. It was time to stop being a collective wet blanket and accept the inevitable change.
With the conference expansion, here was that opportunity. I just can't help and wonder when will these fans shake their "3 yards and a cloud of dust" mentality?

The conformation of a polymer chain in solution is intrinsically coupled to the chain's local solvent environment. In much of the theoretical work on polymers in solution the effects of solvent are treated implicitly and explicit chain-solvent coupling is ignored. Although a formally exact treatment of chain-solvent coupling can be constructed, the required many-body solvation potential is not practical to compute. Following on our work with hard-sphere and square-well chain-in-solvent systems [1] here we show that for Lennard-Jones (LJ) systems this many-body solvation potential can be made tractable via an ``exact'' decomposition into a set of two-site potentials. We use these exact short chain results, combined with the pure solvent potential of mean force, to construct approximate two-site solvation potentials for long LJ-chains. Monte Carlo simulations for full chain-in-solvent systems verify the accuracy of our solvation potential mapping across the full LJ-solvent phase diagram.\\[4pt] [1] J. Chem.

While out scouting in southern Indiana, Alessa Duvalier comes across a Kurian Conference being attended by every major military sect the Kurians have in the Midwest. Taking advantage of the strategic opportunity to cripple their enemy, Alessa and her warriors strike and achieve victory—only to discover an even greater threat to humanity.
Most of the world's resistance leaders and the Lifeweavers are gathering for a peace conference in Helsinki, Finland, and according to the intelligence materials Alessa recovered during her raid, the Kurians have already inserted an agent among the delegates.
David Valentine is chosen to be head of security for the Army of Kentucky representatives—and Alessa ignores his order to stay behind. Now, thrust into a lethal intrigue that threatens the entire peace process, she learns that the Kurian agent may be the least of her concerns.
For the Lifeweavers themselves are about to reveal something that will devastate the Resistance…
"Knight's terrifying future world is an epic canvas on which he paints a tale of human courage, heroism, and yes, even love."—Jay Bonansinga, co-author of The Walking Dead: Rise of The Governor
"Knight's style made me think that if The Red Badge of Courage had been written by H.P. Lovecraft, the result would have been something like this."—Paul Witcover, Author of Tumbling After
"Knight is a master of deception and tension."—Black Gate
"Compelling pulp-adventure…The sympathetic hero, fast-paced action, and an intricately detailed milieu set in various well-imagined regions of twenty-first century North America make for an entertaining read."—Publishers Weekly
Readers who have followed the Vampire Earth series since the beginning have probably noticed that the series is partitioned into groups of three-book story arcs. The first set, beginning with Way of the Wolf, showed the background and training of the hero, Val. The second grouping covered his rise as hero of the resistance, disgrace and fall, and his later recommitment to the cause. The third set was about the establishment of a new, unique Freehold in Kentucky. In the current set, we're seeing Vampire Earth through Valentine's comrades-in-arms. Appalachian Overthrow was fan-favorite Ahn-Kha's time to shine.
In Baltic Gambit, it's Alessa Duvalier's chance to be in the spotlight. Something about the trip to Northern Europe seemed appropriate for the woman who trained Valentine to be an insurgent. She's a rather tragic hero, like one of the desperate and doomed women of Russian literature. If Valentine is the heart of my series and Ahn-Kha the muscle, Ali is the guts of the work (it's no accident that she's always suffering digestion problems, I sometimes like to echo a metaphor physically). She's the most careful of the major characters, and probably the most dedicated to her profession, with the possible exception of Colonel Lambert. In her way, she's done more for the Resistance than any of my other characters, yet she's a complete unknown outside her "band of brothers." She's the most cold-blooded killer of all of them. She destroys Reapers with the methodical nature of a careful hunter, but it's the Quislings that she really hates, having grown up under them and being at the mercy of powerful human collaborators serving the Kurian Order.
She selected and trained Val, and has seen her pupil grow to at least equal the master. They've been together, on and off, for ten books now. I enjoy a male/female partner dynamic, and wanted to do one where there was very little sexual tension, resolved early on and now mostly a matter of a few earthy jokes. Ali mostly casts a gimlet eye on David's womanizing, and after a couple of half-hearted attempts to seduce her and a good deal of bored cohabitation, they've settled down into a working relationship based on mutual esteem as professionals. Plus a quiet little friendship that's been rocky at times. They have all the sexual tension of a married couple of long years. Still, a part of her is curious about him.
Writing in my favorite redhead's point of view presented some challenges. Ahn-Kha, being an alien, had to sound as though someone helped him phrase his muddled diary notes, kept of scraps of this and that, into a first person narrative. With Duvalier, I'm back in the usual 3rd person limited point of view, only this time it's limited to a different set of eyes and personality. Like Val, she's a bit of a cold fish and doesn't get overwrought. She's more cautious than he is, and more suspicious on a micro level (Valentine tends to be paranoid on a planetary scale). I also had the opportunity to spend some time looking at Val through a different set of eyes, and a sensibility that understood him better than any other human alive. I don't believe Val's character changed when viewed through her eyes, but since we're no longer in his point of view, his heroism looks even more heroic and his selfishness made me dislike him here and there, which was a new experience for me.
I also felt it was time for a happier novel. While there are plenty of dangers on their trip to the Baltic for the all-resistance conference, plus an untimely death or two, this book has more a few pleasant interludes. We meet friendly Canadians and Northern Europeans, see how their world has changed, and get a few dollops of culture at their destination. After the past few years, I needed everyone to have a break for a while. Hopefully the lighter tone makes the shocks of the novel more startling for the readers. But don't be deceived into thinking nothing happens: after the midsummer events in the days of the far north, the Resistance is never going to be the same.

U.S. Senate candidate: Matthew Dodrill (R)
PARTY: Republican
EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com
WEBSITE: www.matthewdodrill.com
Matthew has resided in Parkersburg, WV for his entire life. He graduated from PHS in 1997 and from WVUP in 2002 with studies in business. He joined his family's real estate business in 2003. Given Matthew's knowledge of the business world, he would be an excellent candidate for bringing a thriving job market to WV.
1. What changes in federal laws would you favor that would better protect people and our water resources from chemical spills?
Ultimately, putting the power of regulations back into the hands of the state. The people living and working in WV know best how to regulate the industries. This should be a matter the state and local governments handle, not the federal. The federal can guide states, but the real power of decision should lie with the people.
2. What steps should the federal government take to reduce the number of Americans living in poverty?
Better structured programs that do not enable people to continue to live in poverty but rather are the hand up to a brighter future. Eased restrictions on businesses, allowing them to hire more people for longer hours. Push hands on education for careers that are capable of supporting families.
3. In view of recent Supreme Court decisions, what steps do you think congress should take to protect the rights of all American voters?
Congress should unite and impeach the justices that do not uphold the constitution. The power to write laws was never meant to be in the hands of Supreme Court; that is the job of Congress. This misuse of the checks and balances system our government is meant to have puts us on a path to tyranny.
Herald-Dispatch questions:
4. What is your position on the EPA and other regulation of the coal and natural gas industries?
The EPA in pure form, should protect people without suffocating industry. Unfortunately, we do not have the pure form EPA. We need regulations to keep from returning to the smog clouds of the Industrial Revolution, however it is overstretched. I believe the power for regulations should be in the hands of the people of the state, not some federal entity.
5. What is the most pressing foreign policy issue, and how would you address it?
The spreading thin of our military by being in interventions we have no business being in, disconcerts me. We send our loved ones to fight wars for other nations, many that do not even want us there. We need to stop sending soldiers to be injured and killed in places we do not have a formal declarations of war against.
6. How should the United States address future relations with Russia?
We need to look to the policies of the past, human nature rarely changes. We need to study how those that came before us diffused similar situations and attempt to follow suit.
7. What can the federal government do to improve educational achievement in West Virginia?
The best way the federal government can improve our education system is by getting out of it. Put the system back into the hands of our teachers and local politicians, and stop trying to force all our children into the government's one-size-fits-all box of education.
8. What do you think of the Affordable Care Act, and what changes -- if any -- would you support?
This legislation has been an absolute trainwreck. From hiding its true nature to get it passed and bold faced lying to our citizens, this was unquestionably not the way to go about reforming healthcare. I am for the repeal of the ACA, opening interstate commerce to health insurances, and alternatives such as Direct Primary Care for cost aware health coverage.
9. What can the federal government do to improve workforce development in West Virginia?
Better allocation of resources to programs providing job training to students and displaced workers. Ease of restrictions on coal and industries in the state. Funding for infrastructure improvements in the state, such as roads and utilities.
10. Do you favor any changes in gun control requirements?
No, the proper enforcement of laws already in place would cover what is needed without restricting our 2nd Amendment rights.
11. What more should Congress do to battle the prescription drug crisis?
The drug war has placed more criminals in our jails than any other crime. This leads to an inordinate burden on taxpayers to fund the jails. By putting more focus on getting drug abusing people help with their abuse rather than just locking them up, we could better allocate the long-term monetary cost to our citizens by incarcerating less people.
12. Are there more steps Congress should take to reduce obesity?
While a possibly unhealthy right, the right to eat what you like, is still your right. Many of the foods our government has told us were unhealthy in the past have been proven to in fact be healthier than the substitutes. If we start down the path to a nanny-state government, where will it end?

The Kentucky Beef Network (KBN) and the University of Kentucky have developed a new program, funded by the state Agricultural Development Board, to enhance the value of feeder calves in Kent-ucky.
This project lasts for three breeding seasons — Nov-ember 2011 to January 2012, March-June 2012, and November 2012 to January 2013 — and it is a great opportunity for beef cattle producers in Carroll County.
Nothing signifies the holidays like the hanging of festive colored stockings on the fireplace mantle.
As with many traditions, the exact origin is unknown.
However the most recognized origin is the one that honors St. Nicholas. Stockings are mentioned in the 1823 poem, "A Visit from St. Nich-olas," written by Clement C. Moore.
Histor-ically St. Nicholas was a charitable bishop from the third century in Myra which is the modern day Turkey.
The Carroll County Cooperative Extension Service hosted its first Legislative Appreciation Breakfast Tuesday, Dec. 6.
The event, held at the Extension office, was attended by a range of government officials including Joe Williams, central/northern Kentucky field representative for the governor; Sen.Ernie Harris, Carroll County Magi-strates Floyd Bowling and Mark Bates and Carrollton Mayor Gene McMurry. In addition, members of the Carroll County Extension Council attended.
The Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service has been receiving many questions about the articles and recipes for using raw eggs in making eggnog that has been printed in the media.
I am sharing the following item to inform my readers of the dangers of consuming raw eggs and to help you adjust your favorite eggnog recipes to be safe.
Happy, healthy holidays
During the holidays extra tiny tastes of food may not make a difference in the short run, but little bits from now through New Year's can result in unwelcome weight gains. During the holiday season I find it hard to resist sampling the food I am preparing or baking. Plus, there are more special social occasions with great food.
Here are a few strategies to help curb your tendency to take many tiny tastes:
• Chew gum when cooking or baking.
The Agriculture Water Quality Act was passed by the Kentucky legislature in 1994. It states that landowners with 10 or more acres in agricultural production must develop a water quality plan.
If you farm 10 or more acres or plan to harvest trees on 10 or more acres in Kentucky, then you are required by state law to implement an agriculture water quality plan.
This plan documents the best management practices you're using to protect water resources.
This is National Family Week. This year, the National Alliance for Children and Families has designated its annual National Family Week observance, Nov. 20-26, as a time to pay tribute to military families and the organizations that support and strengthen them. This coincides with November being Military Family Month.
National Family Week has been annually promoted by the Alliance, a national nonprofit membership organization for more than 40 years.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Kentucky farmers grow and raise a wide variety of food commodities and food products that are part of a nutritious diet. In this time of Thanksgiving, remember to thank at least one of Kentucky's more than 85,000 farm families for providing a healthy, abundant food supply.
Timely Tips from Dr. Roy Burris, UK Beef Specialist
Spring-Calving Herd.Culling decisions should be made prior to winter feeding for best use of feed resources. Consider open, poor-producing and aged cows as candidates for culling.
Did you know that Kentucky is the largest cattle producing state east of the Mississippi River?
As a Common- wealth, that is something to be proud of.
Kent-ucky is home to about 1.1 million beef cows, and ranks fifth nationally in total number of cattle farms.
Carroll County, even though small in land size, has about 8,000 cows and calves as reported in the 2010 cattle estimate conducted by the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
It's the holiday season. If you hear, "stay off the SoFAS" during this holiday season, it doesn't mean to stay off the sofa or get active. "SoFAS" are calories from solid fat and added sugars and is a new term used in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

This week on Mob Wives: New Blood, Renee continued to bail on her opportunities to squash the beef with her Philly co-stars. She had her reasons, but it was still annoying, especially to Drita who was trying to play peacemaker. In the cast's live tweets from this episode, Renee explains herself, while the rest of the women weigh in on the situation. (Well, Ang weighs in on several topics, ranging from lunch at Le Cirque to her cute headpiece she wore on the show, to Drita's boobs. Seriously, for a woman who claims to hate Twitter, Ang is the funniest tweeter of all time.)

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 30, 2007 Al Qaeda's use of chlorine gas against civilians and use of children as suicide bombers highlights the terror organization's barbarity, a Joint Staff spokesman said here today.
Al Qaeda extremists in Iraq are using chlorine canisters and chlorine-carrying trucks to attack civilian targets, said Army Maj. Gen. Michael D. Barbero, Joint Staff deputy director for operations.
On March 23, Barbero said, Iraqi police foiled an attack in Ramadi that could have caused catastrophic casualties. The police intercepted a truck carrying 5,000 gallons of chlorine and two tons of explosives.
On March 28, two chlorine-laden trucks exploded outside the Fallujah military operations center. The attack injured 14 U.S. troops and 57 Iraqis.
"I strongly believe that this use of chlorine should not be dismissed simply as a new tactic or an emerging trend," Barbero said. "Chlorine is a poison gas being used on the Iraqi people. Before these attacks, the last time poison gas was used on the Iraqi people was by Saddam Hussein."
Al Qaeda in Iraq and related Sunni extremists are using this weapon against the Sunni population of Anbar province. "We have Sunni extremists attacking innocent Sunnis with a poison gas," Barbero said.
Coalition officials see the escalation as a response to the Iraqi people's growing sentiment against the terror organization. Al Qaeda is trying to intimidate the people of the province, Barbero said.
Its actions show that al Qaeda in Iraq is not an "honorable resistance" aimed at "driving out the infidels," the general said.
The terrorists continue to use children to launch attacks. On March 28, Iraqi police went after a suspicious vehicle in Haditha. "As they drove past a 12-to14-year-old boy riding a bicycle, a bomb in the boy's backpack detonated, killing him instantly," Barbero said.
"These acts – the use of poison gas and the use of children as weapons – are unacceptable in any civilized society and demonstrate the truly dishonorable nature of this enemy," he said.

fisheyez, your analogy is not what happened here.
Your analogy doesn't work.
The person injured by a neighbor cutting grass isn't the result of a criminal act. That's an accident.
The driver who hit Timmy became a criminal when he left the scene. Charge the drive with hit and run. Timmy dies...add on a charge of manslaughter.
It doesn't really matter if they don't know who the driver is, but I find it really hard to believe that there were no witnesses on a major highway. There's still a good amount of traffic on Belle Chasse Hwy at 9:20 pm.
Yes, this is the ridiculous suggestion they're making. No, it's not correct.
"If he was not injured in a bicycle accident than he would not have been in the hospital and developed complications," Bone said.
By the way, he was from Terrytown, not Gretna. Two different places. I wish the T-P would understand that.
They should take that City Park maintenance building apart and bring it back to Treme and put the prison back up. Can't think of a more appropriate place for a prison.
I only clicked on this link because I thought it was an Onion article.
If you were a little closer to the river, they would've called Carolyn Park "Gretna".
Hornets and Saints games aren't held at bars, where the primary purpose of the establishment is for serving and drinking alcohol.
Maybe it's time to put those one-way "Severe Tire Damage" strips on all of the offramps to prevent people from entering the wrong side of the interstate. This is two wrong-way interstate highway incidents in two days.
I wish the T-P would stop using the term "accident" to mean "collision between two or more vehicles". "Accident" does not fit the description of any of the collisions mentioned in this article.
Maybe someone can clarify. The article says 86 graduates from the first class are still alive, but then says that only 73 graduated. What are the correct numbers?
If the tolls get extended, will they immediately begin building an elevated expressway through Westwego?
They'll never report the color of the dogs.
A gun this man would've had regardless of whether guns are legal or illegal.
I have a hard time believing these business groups exist. There's a handful of people from Algiers Point who are fighting for the ferries, and will lie, cheat and steal to convince people that we need these tolls.
Make note of the so-called representatives who supported this bill and vote accordingly.
Yeah, because we know all those mobsters are involved in the paper business...
Maybe they can kill coyotes.
What you all seem to be missing here is that it's standard operating procedure for the K-9 cops to keep the dogs in the cars. The cars are air-conditioned and otherwise specially equipped so they can lock the dog up and the dog won't die.
The system failed, or the officer didn't operate it properly (leave the car running?) and the dog died.
Everybody keeps attacking him for leaving the dog in the car, but ALL of the K-9 cops do this. I see those vehicles parked every day, engine running, dog in the car.
Sushi is not "our food" any more than a Whopper from the Burger King on Clearview is "our food".
Just like a pawn shop. As long as they got photo ID from the sellers and kept paperwork on the sale, they're in the clear. I'm sure that's how the police were able to identify the perpetrators.

Take the Sky Stunt™ out for a spin… and by spin we mean insane loops, stalls, corkscrews and crazy knife-edged turns. Designed and inspired by real aerobatic stunt planes the Sky Stunt has a 300 foot range and makes mind-blowing stunts as simple as pushing the red button. Now anyone can feel like a daredevil stunt pilot.
"There are a few stunts it'll do easily and almost automatically like loops, banking turns, and corkscrews, and you can come up with a lot of other really quick stunts on the fly just because of how nimble and light it is.
The range is great at about 300ft and the ability to steer without throttle is priceless when you fly high on a windy day and realize you need to get down."

Attention Teachers and Kids_Download a list of things that you and your students can do about basking sharks here.
Here are some links to Marine Conservation Society Activities to do with the sea.
Find Real Sea Monsters off Isle of Man Beaches!
If basking sharks didn't exist, story tellers would have to invent them! We are so lucky on the Isle of Man where these wonderful creatures visit us every year. Basking sharks are the second biggest fish in the world. Baby basking sharks are as long as a motorbike. Fully grown basking sharks are longer than a bus! Put your mouse over the picture to find out who took the photograph
Ask your mum or dad to take you on a real adventure.
Look for basking sharks off the Isle of Man! Look at these pictures
to see what you could see!
A real sea monster! LOOK at the size of that mouth. You could stand up inside the mouth of a big basking shark, not that you would want to! This basking shark is eating millions of tiny shrimp called plankton. It does not eat fish, jellyfish (or people)!
These are shrimp from the plankton. Each one is smaller than a rice grain, smaller than an 'o' on this page. Basking sharks have to eat MILLIONS of them every hour.
See. one basking shark eating plankton, not interested in people!
But your imagination could run a bit wild sometimes if you are silly enough to get close!
Sometimes you only see the basking shark's dorsal fin.
You might be lucky and see the nose, the dorsal fin AND the tail fin. This makes it easy to tell how big the basking shark is.
The big white mouth can be the first thing you see under the water. This basking shark has a floppy dorsal fin.
You can look for basking sharks from the shore. These sharks are close to Peel castle.
Some people are VERY lucky. They get to SWIM with basking sharks. This has to be done with GREAT CARE as you do not want to disturb their feeding. This is a very small, young basking shark.
Phew! That is a BIG fin! Sometimes you see people kayaking near to basking sharks off Niarbyl on the Isle of Man. They do not paddle when a basking shark is near because it might disturb it.
Basking sharks have little tiny eyes,
VERY BIG mouths,
and VERY BIG noses!.
They have beautiful skin.
But they have bad wrinkles around their mouths!
Don't mention the fish lice near their gills! Quick, call for the flea shampoo!
They 'fly' through the water using their big pectoral fins like aeroplane wings to steer.
They can look toothless and quite, quite, harmless ,
Their babies have cute little piggy noses-----------------but-------
Don't forget, they ARE sea monsters so keep looking and enjoy yourselves!
We hope that you will enjoy these revolting facts.
1: Basking sharks have long thin fish called lampreys stuck to their skin around their bottoms!
2: Basking sharks find their dinner by smelling and tasting the different fishy smells in the water. The huge basking shark eats millions and millions of tiny shrimp called plankton. Imagine being a basking shark and having shrimp soup for every meal of your life! This great cartoon is by Derek Pitman, why don't YOU draw a cartoon of a basking shark?
3: How would you like to have 10 big bristly brushes in your mouth! Basking shark gill slits have big brushes called gill rakers in them. These look just like a grandma's sweeping brush, only pink. They use these, covered in snotty mucous, to trap their food.
4: Basking sharks trap their shrimpy plankton dinner in GALLONS of slimy, snot-like mucous that they swallow with their food: GROSS!
5: Have YOU ever eaten too much? A big basking shark stomach is about the same size as a bath full of half-digested smelly pink shrimps.
6: If you were silly enough to touch a basking shark you would find that it is covered in slime a bit like the black oil on your bicycle chain! It smells fishy too!
7: When basking sharks rub against one another they leave a fishy smelling oily slick in the water!
8: Basking shark skin is very rough and scratchy because it is covered in MILLIONS of scales like tiny shark teeth! In the old days they used to make it into leather for non-slip boot soles. Those boots must have smelled very bad!
9: Basking sharks have fish lice around their gills! Fishy fleas but no flea shampoo or school nurse to stop their itches! They have to hope that birds or fish will pick the shrimpy fish lice off their skin.
If you are lucky enough to see a basking shark please report it to us at THE MANX BASKING SHARK WATCH. If you write a really good short story about the day you saw a basking shark we would like to put it on our website.
1: Basking sharks are the second biggest fish IN THE WORLD! The biggest is the tropical whale shark.
The biggest basking shark ever was 13.72m long. This is longer than a bus!
Cartoon by Derek Pitman
2: An average size basking shark is 8.7m long. This is the same length as a small removals van. 3:It weighs 7 tonnes, the same as 2 elephants!
4: A newborn basking shark is 1.5-2 m long, that's bigger than a grown-up seal!
5: Basking sharks are born in litters of about 6 pups. A pregnant female must have a very big bump before she has her babies!
6: Basking shark brains are very small for such big animals. The main part of the basking shark brain is about the same size and shape as a hotdog in a bun! The most important bit of a basking sharks brain is two long thin stalks that look a bit like two dandelions on stalks. These bits work out the smell and taste of what is in their mouth.
7: Basking shark have very big dorsal fins on their backs. They are up to 2 m high, that is taller than your dad!
8: Basking sharks eat shrimps for dinner every meal of their lives. they have to filter LOTS of water to get enough to eat. An average-size basking shark could filter enough seawater to fill a swimming pool in just one hour!
9: Basking sharks visit the Isle of Man in the summer, between mid May and mid-August when the water is full of plankton.

Police say the body found in Tryon Park on Wednesday is that of a 73-year-old woman. The park is located off of North Winton Road between Browncroft and Empire Boulevards.
RIT officials confirm the victim, Edline Chun of Rochester, was an adjunct professor in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences.
Right now, a person of interest is in custody and charges are expected soon.
Investigators say Chun was shot to death and her body was dumped at Tryon Park. We're told the motive may have been robbery. Her car was stolen and police don't believe there was a relationship between Chun and the person of interest. The investigation goes back at least a week.
Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard said, "I'll say we do believe she was targeted but at this point in time we're not going to divulge any info relative to our investigation that pertains to that. If there is someone who may be a relative of hers or possibly a friend and they can give us additional info - we appreciate them reaching out to us as well
Police are still trying to contact family.
Statement from RIT Provost Jeremy Haefner: "The entire Rochester Institute of Technology community is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the death of Edline Chun. She was a well-respected and beloved faculty member who taught in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences for almost two decades. Her colleagues in the School of Media Sciences describe her as someone who 'always went above and beyond to serve the students and the school with passion, integrity and the utmost class.' We extend our deepest sympathies to her family and friends. RIT faculty leaders from the college met with students earlier today to tell them of the news, and we are making counselors available to faculty, staff or students. "

Thanks for good program!

very good and useful project, I use Inkscape now instead of coreldraw
User Reviews
Excellent Project, but alway can better! Follow wait can use it, if more problems & bugs (Stable and Easy) Very Nice, with little bugs a fails on Windows x64 and Windows 32, but can work partially
I enjoy using Inkscape, but in converting jpeg and png files to svg have been disappointed woth the quality of the end result. Secondly how can I get the text to write and fill in at the same time ? thanks
Draw for Pros (advanced users). If you're not looking to create complex work you'll be just fine with the equivalent app in Open/LibreOffice. Conversely, if you'd want more then Documents app in OO/LO has to offer, you'd go for Scribus.
A very useful, intuitive and simple software. Many of it's tools work like other vector drawing programs, capable of high quality results. The down side is that sometimes takes time to start up or gets laggy with various actions.
Inkscape had a long learning-curve for me, and although I made huge progress, still has many more hidden treasures for me. As I can see the art which others are able to produce with it. Ofcourse, being new at an application with many features always takes a while to fully comprehend. But with Inkscape it is fun to try to discover all of them. The big user-base provides me with ample help when needed. I'm very much looking forward to the upcoming big update. Respect to the developers. Did I forget to mention, Inkscape is 100% free-of-charge !
Fantastic app! Runs seamlessly on my Linux Mint KDE.
Very good svg/vector graphics editor.
Great software! Would be nice if it supported higher retina screen resolutions on OSX.
As a long time user of vector graphics programs like AI and Macromedia's FreeHand... it is great to see an app which gives the expensive industry standards a real open source competitor! Inkscape is the real deal!
Very good open source program. I use it often in tweaking figures for journal articles.
Love it. It reminds me a lot of XaraX. Unfortunately, this release will not print with HP 4000 series printer and Win 7 X64.
An absolutely fantastic piece of software. Great alternative to a lot of paid ones, and has features some of the paid ones don't. However, it does miss some features & I hate the fact I can't save things like gradients into a separate file easily for loading/using with projects. Otherwise, this is one of my favorite projects ever. 2 thumbs up, either way, and I hope it never disappears or stops being developed. Thank you for all the hard work, to everyone involved in making Inkscape, testing it, running it & fixing it & supporting it! ^_^ Also, please fix problems for people who custom theme Windows. Inkscape doesn't/hasn't played well with it. I think it's always best to use the basic interface without anything special, the way that allows Windows to "skin" things instead. I hate the idea everyone has gotten, that they should be making their interfaces with special "features" (directX maybe? something like that...) and making it impossible to both play well with the OS, and also for people like me to be happy because we aren't forced to have blaring white screens in our face or things we find ugly. I hate NOTHING more than an interface I can't customize or at the very least, make dark & compatible with my system fonts/colors (which are NEVER "default" or anything even close) & more importantly, my eyes! :)
Decently painting program, very promising but still have many flaws and stability issues.
Just excellent, has got all the functionalities needed for a good design project (and more).
the interface is not very intuitive you need a step learning curve in my opinion. By the way, It's a great software
Excellent vector-based design tool!
XML editor doesn't work -- I use inkscape 0.48.4 under Windows 7. I cannot edit attributes in the xml editor. Some guys on Launchpad Bug Tracker say this is caused by GTK which doesn't work well with Windows 7. Hope developers can fix this bug which is an annoying spoiler to this near-perfect program.
Inkscape is very good software. Please give us export cmyk pdf ;)
First off and most importantly it's free. A free alternative is always preferred to doing something illegal or paying actual money for something that I use for a week long project every once in a while. I've been using this since about 2010 on and off maybe every 3 or 4 months I might open it up to tinker with something non professional and its certainly a very capable program and the only open source vector program that I know about. I don't know what the "ghaststeam" reviewer was talking about but if I had to really guess I'd say that he either downloaded it from a third party site and didn't get it from a link from Sourceforge. He charges that it is mostly bloated but I don't know with what. It is a small download even with the Windows installer coming in at around 33mb. His charge that "the downloads are fake for the most part" leads me to think that he did a search for it and picked some bad links because just typing in inkscape into google gave me this site as the top result... He says that he tried to get this working.... that he has MAJOR hardware problems as a result of trying to use Inkscape. Maybe he is using 1989 hardware or something I only installed it and it worked fine with no problems installing or using and definitely no hardware problems. He also charges that Inkscape: "sucks RAM like crazy" I have a 4.5mb .svg open right now and itis using 183.3 mb. I can't compare that with any other paid program but It doesn't hurt my 16GB of memory at all and as a matter of fact my Firefox is pulling over 300mb of memory "uses too much disk space" I was quite surprised to find that Inkscape uses 151mb on my Windows 8.1 computer but that is not consequential at all.... especially considering that some of my apps on my Android phone are that size and larger. "has small malware programs" I have used this program on and off since 2010 and have never encountered any type of malware (Again possible that he downloaded from a site that makes a habit out of taking free open source applications and attaching malware and viruses to them) He says "Don't believe everything you see(ratings, fancy pics, downloads, etc.)! This program made me go the extra mile to fix the hole it made on my system. The source code is also copied(checked with Copyscape) - do not bother with this hopeless scam." This paragraph makes me believe that for some reason he is just trying to bring down a good program. It is easy for me to use for the purposes that I need. It has the features that I need for the free price The UI could use a little better design imo and I have no idea about the Support since I have never had a problem with it. Download it and use it yourself.
Por favor, lo necesitamos en Mavericks OS X
please make it for OS X Mavericks, I would be so helpful!!
Just AMAZING. I have never seen any free open source vector editing tool more awesome!
Inkscape is a revolution in graphics design! - Very small footprint (i.e.: system resources, memory, and disk space) - Very small downloadable install file. - With huge library of effect filters, extensions, and panels.. - It's Free of charge. No license fee, no trial, no limited version. - It's opensource, no hard-to-fix hidden bugs, everyone can report bugs, and developers can read the 'open' source, discover the bug and fix. I love this opensource application, and use it all the time for all my professional design needs, with great results appreciated from all the work team.


text: Madame Batifole (860) is described as an "electric sparkling fuchsia." It's a slightly cool-toned fuchsia with violet shimmer. In the tube, it has more of a berry coloring, but on lips, it's pinker and against my skin tone, almost looks warm sometimes. The coverage is mostly even with very, very slight settling into (some) lip lines–completely unnoticeable from a normal viewing distance. It lasted three and a half hours on me. Revlon Sugar Violet is lighter. Revlon Berry Allure is similar. MAC Dress Kimono is cooler-toned. L'Oreal Dazzle Me is more fuchsia. Chanel Pink Pulsion is cooler-toned. See comparison swatches.
