The Giant Beastcast - Episode 27
Become Premium to Watch
Slick production values, solid controls, and tons of fan service can't make up for mediocre progression and a lack of content.
Fallout 4 may feel overly familiar to some, but there are plenty of places to go, people to see, and mutants to shoot, and most of those things are still exciting to visit, look at, and murder (though not necessarily in that order).
The occasionally extreme performance issues found in the console versions of Fallout 4 make those versions more difficult to recommend than their PC counterpart.

text: You all should know that there will be a light source coming soon (the patent has been applied for) that will enable one to enlarge on Azo. The light will not be hot, exposure times will be relatively short, and the whole thing will be reasonably priced. So then your only question will be about which film to use and how to develop it. if I were enlarging, I would probably use D-76 to develop the film. Why make it difficult if it is not significantly better.

If you're looking for great email creative - copy and design that will motivate the reader to the action you want them to take - you need more than just a copywriter and a designer.
Recently, a colleague of mine shared a column I had written for ClickZ back in 2007 with our internal consulting team. It's about giving more effective creative feedback. The article is an oldie but a goodie, but reading it combined with some conversations I had with a potential client made me think that best practices for working with creative teams warranted another pass.
If you're looking for great email creative - copy and design that will motivate the reader to the action you want them to take - you need more than just a copywriter and a designer. You need to flesh out key aspects of the campaign in advance.
I often speak to marketers looking for creative help with email; many times what I find are marketers that need help with the strategy and tactics first. Some key questions that need to be answered include:
These aren't typically things that a copywriter figures out for you; they are things that the marketing team provides to the copywriter and designer in a creative brief.
It's okay if you, personally, can't answer all these questions. The key is to find someone, either a person in your department or an outside consultant, who can.
So where do you start?
The features/benefits/advantages exercise is a favorite of mine. Begin by listing all the features of your product or service. Then put yourself in the shoes of your target audience: what benefit does each feature provide you? Finally, list the advantages of getting this benefit from your product rather than a competitor. For more on features/benefits/advantages, check out this other oldie but goodie article on writing creative briefs.
For the offer, print, incentive and call-to-action, I recommend looking to what's worked in the past. Obviously, mining your past email campaigns for ideas should be your first step. After that, move onto campaigns done in other online and offline channels for ideas. If this is a new program and you have none of your own history to look to, look to the marketing done by companies with competitive or similar products.
Finally, we get to the questions on multi-effort campaigns. Many marketers seem to believe that there's a set blueprint for multi-effort campaigns - that the key to success is the exactly right number of efforts, sent with the perfect number of days or hours between them, over the ultimate period of time. Unfortunately, that's just not the case.
I let the message map drive how many efforts are needed. Once you've identified your unique selling propositions (from your features/benefits/advantages exercise) you can develop your message map. The number of efforts you need becomes very clear.
A few years back, we determined that the service a client was offering had four key selling propositions to highlight. So we decided on a six effort campaign:
The time in between efforts - that's something you need to take a stab at initially, then test to optimize. I've had campaigns where we send daily efforts for 5 or 10 days (the one that comes to mind was a new customer series, which was aimed at making use of an online service a habit). More usual are campaigns with weekly sends, although here I usually vary the day, so it ends up being a little more than a week between efforts.
Sometimes, the best frequency is every other week or even monthly, at least for a while. I've done campaigns where the time between sends varies; you might start out once a week and then go to once a month at the end. As with the number of efforts, a lot has to do with the unique selling propositions and the action you're looking for them to take.
The same is true of the duration of the campaign. Start with past experience or your gut, then test to see how long people respond.
One final note on multi-effort campaigns: the number of efforts, time between sends and interval are rarely as important as the content when it comes to performance.
Try it yourself and see how it goes!

Oh man you sound like a real brutus.

Please post back.
#8 Sep 28, 2011
You idiot, MC is motorcycle club. MCC is metropolitan community church=gay. Not saying that there is no such thing as a gay biker because I know better. I slept with one, Well not sleep it only lasted 2 hrs. then I went home.
#9 Sep 28, 2011
I had to leave, he turned into MR. ooooey goooey sticky guy. I know it sounds fun but he had cotton flannel sheets.
#10 Sep 28, 2011
The Brotherhood is not a 1% CLUB. But we will defend our patch and back each other up the same way as a 1% club. We are mostly veterans, So if thats a joke to anyone then you must think that the U.S, military is a joke also. Where were you when your country called on you? We stood the line. So to whoever thinks the Brotherhood is a joke, don't hide behind a computer come tell us to our face.
#11 Sep 28, 2011
HELLO I'm a veteran. I'm not 1% either, I go all the way. Where would I go to tell you to your face?
#12 Sep 28, 2011
WOW you guys are too hot, Vets too! I know how you all get along and I cant wait to become a Brother myself and join your monastery.
You sound a lot like, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San Francisco. Dressing up in all kinds of fun ways but also helping the gay community.
When and where can I join?
I also love flower arranging and men that wear leather and Levi's .
If y'all want to meet at our house for a pot luck let us know, it would be such fun.
I really would like to get to know you guys, please post back!
#13 Sep 28, 2011
Actually, no, was never a member and you should probably learn how to spell before posting.
#14 Sep 29, 2011
Re: Comments from Guest:
I'll learn to proof read and spell check IF you get your facts straight before posting.
#1. Never had only 3 members
#2. Never threatened by another club.
#3. Come talk to one of our members and get to know us, before you THINK we're all just a big joke.
Our club is doing well. We're just a MotorCycle Club. Nothing at all like you see on T.V. Family, friends and work come first then the club. Alot of members are veterans. Proud to have served our country. God Bless the U.S.A. We work in our community, pay taxes have children / grandchildren that go to school just like every other family. We mow the grass, take out the trash, do home repairs and when time permits we ride our motorcycles. We help our neighbors, stranded motorists attend fund raisers etc etc etc...... We also are proud to wear our patch.
#15 Sep 29, 2011
I do know my facts..... yes you all did have a run in with another group at a rally. I am almost certain it had something to do with something you all had on your patch.
I won't say that you all are a joke but there are a few that take this "club" to their heads. I mean really if ya'll are just good ol' everyday "veterans" that are there for each other and to help others does it really matter about things like in what order you ride? Members first then non members? Really??? I know more than you think I know.
#16 Sep 29, 2011
Okay boys.......( Guest and Buzzard )
GROW UP. Guest, you sound like a boy who was rejected by the club. Honey there's usually a reason for that. AND my dear out of respect ? some unwritten rule ? if you're a tag along you're supposed to ride behind those who have earned the patch. Now... Buzzard, maybe you would have more boys join your little club if you would embrace newcomers and make them feel welcome and part of the pack. It only takes a few to make the whole club look bad in the public eye. Defend your club members in public but in private give them the tounge lashing they deserve. You both need to shake hands and end this ridiculous name calling.
Everybody makes mistakes. Take a good long look at yourself before you start bad mouthing someone else.
#18 Sep 30, 2011
Earned a patch? Lol and for your information no I was not rejected. Buzzard you want to try and act like you are a good ol boy out doing good deeds around the community and what people don't know if how rude you can be to others. Oh and I'm sorry you don't have 3 its a whole 9 members :-) if y'all are such a great club then why did everyone pull out? There was about 30 of ya
#19 Oct 5, 2011
I too have inside info ...... got rid of some that were dragging down the club and what it stands for Buzzard IS rudejudgemental treates those of us with issues as if we're beneath him Sexy as hell tho for an OLD fart hes chummy with me when his o lady aint around makes me feel cheap the next day
#21 Oct 5, 2011
It sounds like you have had more inside you than info. How chummy have you been with Buzzard or is it the other way around?
Cheap is as cheap does, dearest.
#22 Oct 6, 2011
I was cleaning a driveway off as one of their members was doing some plumbing work as the same place. Parked his fag yellow bike right on the drive way. As I was blowing the grass clippings off this "biker" came around all pissed off Saying that's a good way to get your ass kicked! My response, "you couldn't whip yourself out of a wet paper sack". He was swelled up like a spring chicken, what a vagina. 3 hits, I hit him, he hits the ground and the ambulance hits 80 on the way in to the hospital.

I'm working through the above book and am stuck trying to find why the program doesn't run as I would expect. It compiles, it runs and it plays the midi track but there are no rectangles drawn in the panel. If I change
or remove the if statement entirely, then I get one rectangle drawn before any sound plays, so the paintComponent method is doing part of its job. I've tried running the program on both Linux F18 and OS X, with the same result. The full source (sorry, it's longish) is included below.

text: JOHN WESLEY COLEMAN is the definition of the wildman troubador in modern times, and has certainly earned a deserved reputation with his sensibility for original, creative and bizarre recordings with both THE GOLDEN BOYS and his namesake here. After incredible records released on such noteworthy labels as DAGGERMAN RECORDS and GONER, I couldn;t hold out bugging JWC for a "TTT" release any longer. The guy has a sens of weird, time-proof stoner genius bottled up "as" rock n roll that is undeniable, and gravity worked it's magnetic pull...assembling a wicked band of helpers into the final recording at Austin's famed SWEATBOX studios for the "well-funded" recording of TRANS-AM SUMMER BLUES. From the first phone conversation with JWC, it became apparent that this next one was going to be something "extra special". Huge in scope of emotion and sound, with a large studio band (pianos, horns, weird, unidentifiable happenings), all besides the most notable of influences, the fact it was all written during a period of personal loss....AND a period of <em>being John Wesley Coleman </em>simultaneously. The results are epic and dare I say incredibly "mature". A charismatic and strange collection of sentiments from a GOLDEN BOY's heart. JWC is a lifer with no need to justify his presence. He's the beat poet you can't be annoyed of. He's the joker and the toker, and the real heart of what we all love about life. A mix of the real and the absurd in one man, with an uncanny ability to combine wordly intelligence with humor that "accidentally" hints at the sublime. A half-realized poetic seriousness that meets you in the middle...disarming....unassuming. This is a perfectly blended record for the changing seasons, to be enjoyed with the ghosts of lost loves and BBQ. Mastered at Chicago Mastering for a loud 180 gram pressing. FAT wax. Includes a high quality digital download as well, and insert poster. We love you JWC.

One of Australia's most important outback pubs has been officially reopened after renovations.

The North Gregory Hotel in Winton is believed to be the place where Banjo Paterson first performed Waltzing Matilda back in the 1890s.
Bluey Heslin, who's been enjoying cold beers at the North Gregory since the 1950s, says he remembers when the bar staff wore bow ties and white shirts.
"And you couldn't go into the dining room without a tie on," he says.
North Gregory manager Aaron Tyack says the pub means a lot to the town and the area.
"It's the perfect pub to renovate and move forward with," he says.

US achieves first submarine launch of unmanned aircraft
An unmanned aerial system has been launched successfully from a submerged US Navy submarine.
When fully developed the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) expects the system to provide mission critical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to the US Navy's submarine force.
Operating under support of the Los Angeles class USS Providence (SSN 719) and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center-Newport Division (NUWC-NPT), the NRL-developed XFC UAS — eXperimental Fuel Cell Unmanned Aerial System— was fired from the submarine's torpedo tube using a Sea Robin launch vehicle.
According to NRL, the Sea Robin launch system was designed to fit inside an empty Tomahawk launch canister (TLC).
Once deployed from the TLC, the Sea Robin launch vehicle with integrated XFC rose to the sea's surface where it appeared as a spar buoy.
The XFC then vertically launched from Sea Robin and flew a successful mission demonstrating live video capabilities streamed back to Providence and surface support vessels before landing at the Naval Sea Systems Command Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC), Andros, Bahamas.
'The creativity and resourcefulness brought to this [six year] project by a unique team of scientists and engineers represents an unprecedented paradigm shift in UAV propulsion and launch systems,' said Dr Warren Schultz, program developer and manager, NRL.
The NRL Chemistry and Tactical Electronic Warfare Divisions team includes the design-builder of the Sea Robin, Oceaneering International Inc; fuel cell developer Protonex Technology Corp; and NUWC-NPT's Autonomous and Defensive Systems Department for Temporary Alteration (TEMPALT) and test demonstration support.
The XFC is a fully autonomous, all electric fuel cell powered folding-wing UAS with an endurance of greater than six hours.
The non-hybridised power plant supports the propulsion system and payload for a flight endurance that NRL said delivers relatively low cost, low altitude, ISR missions.
The XFC UAS uses an electrically assisted take off system which lifts the plane vertically out of its container and therefore, enables a very small footprint launch such as from a pickup truck or small surface vessel.
The project was funded by SwampWorks at the Office of Naval Research and the Department of Defense Rapid Reaction Technology Office.
Readers' comments (1)
This is a staggering development in advanced warfare techniques. Nuclear powered, stealth designed submarines with a drone targeting ability___! What a bargaining chip in troublesome peace times disputes and a huge step forward in effective and selective warfare.
I am of an age that allowed me to grow up and develop in the Cold War Age where a balance of weapons kept the peace in spite of the fear and envy of opposing sides. This development has virtually reopened the arms race of bygone days. I trust those in charge are being very, very careful especially with the Freedom of Information Acts in being.

|Battle of Olaschin
|Part of Great Turkish War and Ottoman-Habsburg wars
|Holy League:
|Ottoman Empire
|Commanders and leaders
|Augustus II the Strong
|Sultan Mustafa II
|Casualties and losses
|4000 [1]
The battle of Olaschin (also Olasch or Olas) or battle at Bega river was an indecisive engagement between between an army of the holy roman empire under the command of Augustus II the Strong and an Ottoman army lead by sultan Mustafa II.
In second half of the 1680s the Holy Roman Empire inflicted a series of severe defeats on the Ottoman armies and conquered almost all Hungary. Troops of the empire moved even South of the Danube capturing Belgrad and Niš. In 1688 the Holy Roman Empire got involved in the Nine Years' War and had to move some of its troop to the west. The Ottomans appointed more capable military leaders and managed to reconquer Belgrad and Niš in the following years. Petrovaradin and the Hungarian areas north of the Danube however remained under imperial control. The early 1690s saw some fighting along the border areas at the Danube and in Transylvania favouring the imperial troops for the most part, but the Ottomans managed to maintain their stronghold in Temesvar. In 1695 Augustus II took over the command of the imperial troops in Hungary, while the young Mustafa II ascended to the Ottoman throne. The energetic Mustafa decided to lead the armies himself. He marched his army into Transylvania and captured and plundered the cities of Lipova, Lugoj and Sebeş. Near Lugos he also defeated imperial under Veterani, which did not receive the expected reinforcements from the main army under the command of Augustus II.

I've tried de-clicking an AIS Nikkor. Removing the click-tab also removes any and all resistance on the aperture ring, so it's free to just turn on its own. In addition to feeling like garbage and occasionally making a fingernails-on-chalkboard noise, the aperture ring moves on its own when attached to the camera since the metering coupler on the camera is spring-loaded. I took some pictures of the lens parts below so you can see how de-clicking/re-clicking the aperture ring would work in theory. I don't know if all Nikkors are built like this, however.

Regarding the exposure discrepancies, I too would be interested to know which camera was used? The F5/F6 are supposed to have shutter monitoring systems that makes corrections as needed. My guess would be that the manufacturing tolerances in Nikkors are not up to your standards, Mr. Stone :P
There are lots of "T-stopped" cinema lenses for F-mount bodies, but they appear to be upwards of $3K each.

I have stuck a fixed cog on my old 70s hub off an Ernie Clements falcon.
I tried to stick the lock ring on but it doesn't seem to be able to get enough thread??
I tried the old pedal up a hill method to screw it on and actually snapped my right hand crank arm!
(was an old vintage alloy though)
Any ideas??
Also, the alignment is way off... the fixed cog and chain ring are on a bit of an angle...??
Any ideas??

I'm not suggesting Trump, Carson, Fiorina, or any other presidential candidate is directly to blame for hate crimes erupting across America. But by virtue of their standing as presidential candidates, their words carry particular weight. They have a responsibility to calm people with the truth rather than stir them up with lies.
Today, Republican front-runner Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with 100 leading Black pastors, some who said they may be endorsing him and others who said they just want to hear him out.
Secretary Clinton is telling Americans that we should do more of the same in the Middle East, and that is precisely the policy prescription that helped develop al-Qaeda and ISIS in the first place. The U.S. needs to forge pragmatic, functioning relations throughout the region to maximize its flexibility and reduce security threats as they evolve.
The more people learn about Clinton, like the fact her campaign was funded by prison lobbyists and used race as tool against Obama in 2008, the greater the likelihood of Sanders running away with the Democratic nomination.
"Americans will hopefully also speak out if they agree with me the words 'we are better than that' apply to the hateful words and policies Republican candidates for president and other current Republican office holders are spewing.
As Thomas Jefferson put it 200 years ago, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Right now is a good time to pay that price. Don't let the ultimate cynics in DC get their way: When leaders like Senator Warren ring the alarm, we all better answer.
I'm glad I didn't engage, even though I am saddened that I had to make that choice. Escalating the situation with this ignorant fool would not have made things better for anyone, and in some way would have perversely justified his attitude.
Ted Cruz is an outsider in insider's clothing, and voters uneasy with the weirdness of Trumson are starting to move in his direction. And there may not be enough other Republicans to beat a candidate who captures the bulk of the raging outsider vote.
As President Obama flies to Paris for the latest international negotiation on climate change, diplomats on both sides of the Atlantic appear confused about what his position will be. Will he champion legally binding commitments by all nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions? Or will he agree only to deal with no legal force?
Augustine, possessing the mind of a shrewd political strategist, among other attributes, understood that securing the power of the state to instruct and to coerce was crucial for the Christian Church's long-term success. Sound familiar?
It's interesting to watch the presidential candidates fighting over a 0.2 percentage point tax increase. It would be much more interesting to see them debate a Federal Reserve Board policy that can have an impact on after-tax pay that is 40 times larger.
Democratic and Republican presidential contenders have failed to clarify their own ideas about the future of nuclear power within our energy mix, and the time is ripe for a meaningful public conversation.
The TPP was a missed opportunity to develop a sensible balance for trade and investment agreements. The tobacco carveout solves nothing -- the chances of Philip Morris winning its claims are uncertain anyway -- and ignores the larger problem.
It is our belief that these prejudices and misperceptions damage the strength of our American democracy. Higher education has a role to play in beginning to address these challenges. But what can campus leaders do?
It's time for us to stop being polite and keeping the peace in our families, to stop hiding behind sympathetic posts on social media and instead have hard discussions about where we, as families, are at. To tell those close to us how afraid we are that, some day, we might see their mugshot on television after a horrific event.
The wartime incarceration looms large in my family's memory, but along with all the painful stories from that time, my great uncle's act of principled defiance remains one of the most important stories we tell ourselves about who we are and who we strive to be.
When the perpetrator of terrorism is mainly motivated by his or her own religious views -- say, about abortion -- then it is by definition Christian terrorism. All the killings of abortion clinic doctors and other employees are nothing short of Christian terrorism.
Imagine if a Muslim gunman had opened fire at an American shopping center on Black Friday, shot eleven people and killed three, including a police officer. Do you think CNN would have broken away from programming just hours after the shooter was apprehended in order to air a pop culture documentary?
To defeat ISIS, the world needs to hit the core of the group, and this means untying the shroud of knots surrounding it and cutting blood off from ISIS' heart. A counter model is needed to fight the ISIS model, a model that is powerful, modern and shows real respect and appreciation for Islam.

St. Petersburg, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - David Price struck out a season-high 12 batters en route to his ninth career complete game as the Tampa Bay Rays took a 7-3 win over the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a three-game set.
Price (3-1), who allowed three runs on a pair of fourth-inning homers, scattered six hits and walked just one to earn the win. He finished two strikeouts shy of tying his career-high of 14. The southpaw fanned 14 against Toronto Aug. 28, 2011.
"Velocity was good, strike throwing was good and it seemed like every thing was right," said Rays manager Joe Maddon. "He just made a couple of mistake. Otherwise, he was pretty much on top of his game."
David DeJesus went 3-for-4 with three RBI, Matt Joyce and James Loney both finished with two hits and two RBI and Ben Zobrist was 2-for-4 with two runs scored for the Rays, who have taken seven straight at home against the Twins.
Chris Colabello hit a two-run homer and Brian Dozier added a solo shot for the Twins, who have dropped three of their last four.
Kyle Gibson (3-1) suffered his first loss of the season after he was knocked around for seven runs on 10 hits over three-plus innings.
"(Gibson) was just missing as they say," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "You know some pretty close pitches that didn't go our way. He was just around the plate and just off the plate just enough that got him into trouble."
The Rays put up three runs in the first inning. With the bases loaded and one out, Loney singled to center to score Zobrist and Joyce. After Wil Myers walked, DeJesus cracked a single to right to push Longoria across.
Tampa Bay added a pair of runs in the third. With runners on second and third and one out, DeJesus laced a single to right to bring Evan Longoria and Loney around.
Minnesota finally got on the board thanks to a pair of fourth-inning home runs. Dozier smacked a leadoff shot to left for his sixth homer of the season. Joe Mauer singled and after Trevor Plouffe struck out, Colabello launched a two-run shot deep into the stands in left to pull the Twins within two runs.
The Rays answered with two runs in the home half. Zobrist and Desmond Jennings hit back-to-back singles to chase Gibson from the game. Joyce welcomed reliever Samuel Deduno with a double to center to clear the bases for a 7-3 lead.
Price has struck out at least 10 batter 16 times in his career ... Earlier on
Tuesday, the Rays reinstated reliever Juan Carlos Oviedo from the 15-day
disable list ... The Rays were 5-for-15 with runners in scoring position ...

I broke it! Thanks to this site and the new sketchbook I got, I've been able to shake my block. The sketchbook means I can sit anywhere now and draw easily. I also started picking objects around my house to draw, which really helps if I'm unsure of a topic. Thank everyone!
If anyone else is stuck in a block feel free to post and we'll try to help.

I've been wanting a digital version of Sim Golf for years. I can't believe GOG doesn't have it still to this day. I can only assume that there some legal hurdles that haven't been overcome.

Signed up to GOG just to add a +1 to this thread. I'm an arpg gamer mostly, but Sim Golf hopelessly hooked me! Would love to see an up-resed version, or windowed mode. tyvm for your consideration :)
How is this game NOT on mac, ipad, iphone, droid, etc? I'd pay $100 bucks for this easy. Get on it, Sid!
Please please.

 Myshuno!!!!
Best Golf Sim I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

 I had so much fun making AI sound so angry after missing one shot after another. 10/10
oh my godddd mac this game for mac already im actually pissed and contemplating hiring some nerd online to just do it for me for damn sakes
For MAC!
Just found my old laptop and re-installed Windows XP to play this game...
Would do anything to play this game again on a Mac. Watching the Master's is only making me crave it more. Considering buying a cheap PC just for this game.
I made an account on this site just so I could post this comment.. PLEASE! I am begging you, make this game for Mac... I played it last night at my buddies on his old PC and wow what a treat. I would also "throw my money" at whoever can do this.
I am dying to play this flipping game, someone needs to figure out how to get this on a mac
There is only one true golf course simulator.
 And, that is, it is Sid Meier's Sim Golf.
 Which, in all seriousness, should get a remake because I really really really want to play this game again in full resolution and in Windows 8 without masses of crashes due to incompatibility.

 Here's the deal, I'll throw money for this game. GOG? Huh? Huh?

 Please, really, I will throw money. <.>
Would purchase the instant it came out for Mac.
pretty please
A classic that clearly deserves the GOG treatment
had a dream about describing this great game to someone last night. must have.
Absolutely would buy. Love this game!
Would definitely buy it. Please release for MAC

yes please! this will be way cool. hope you can also make it for mac too :)
Please bring this back! And for Mac too!
Would love a OSX version of this game was such a great game
Classic little game. Lots of fun. Love to find this on GOG.
I used to love this game! Hoping to see it here myself. Great idea!
Really hope this will become available, as I remember having great times with it as a kid and it can't be found anywhereeeeee
If this gets on GOG I'll be the first to buy it! well as close as I can get. I really need this game!
Count me in as a guaranteed purchaser should this make GOG's library! :)
I love this game and I've been trying to get a copy for years, please try to bring it to GOG.
Very strange to still not see this game here.
 It's a freaking classic!
Can't believe a gem like isn't available digitally already. I'd love to be able to play this again. Make it happen pls GOG.
Lo quiero lo quiero lo quiero lo quiero!!!
PLEASE get this game up here! I've been trying to find it for a few years now to play on my Mac.
I'm a keen golfer and find it almost impossible to walk over a bridge without commenting on how scenic it is :-)
I have this game already, but I would buy it again if GOG would bring it back.
Holy crap. This game is so good, I would probably buy it twice.
I love this game, however be warned that it needs a "full screen" patch as it only runs in 1 resolution ( too small to see anything )
I could care less about golf but, I still love this game. Bring it!

Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
Then it pulls you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
First you're floating high
Then takes you takes you
Under under
Well it's cold
Cold under water
In the night time
But I dove
Dove to the bottom
To see what i'd find
That's when I saw a light
A glowing paradise
Thought i'd stay a while
It's been calling me underwater, child
Everything that I ever dreamed
Taking my breath away
Currents got hold of me
Sweeping me away
Wish that I could stay
Takes me to the top
It's the cycle that never stops.
Follow me, yeah let's go
To the sand, the purest sand
Into the sea, yeah let's go...
Horizont is intentional like that...

- Under pressure for much of last week, solar stocks are rallying (TAN +4.3%) after SunEdison (SUNE +23.5%) and its TerraForm Power (TERP +29.1%) YieldCo announced they're buying leading wind project developer First Wind for up to $2.4B, and JA Solar (JASO +4%) beat Q3 estimates and upped its full-year cell/module shipment guidance to 3.1GW-3.2GW from 2.9GW-3.1GW.
- Gainers: SCTY +3.9%. SOL +4.5%. TSL +3.7%. YGE +2.7%. JKS +3.4%. HSOL +2.8%. ASTI +6%. DQ +3.2%. RGSE +2.6%.
- SunEdison CEO Ahmad Chatila declares the First Wind deal will double his company's addressable market. Cowen thinks SunEdison "can leverage First Wind's platform to push into international markets for wind given the potential expiration of the production tax credit for U.S. wind projects."
- Along with its results/guidance, JA announced a $90M buyback; it's good for repurchasing 23% of shares at current levels, if fully used. JA's Q3 gross margin was 15%, -20 bps Q/Q but +370 bps Y/Y. Cell/module shipments rose 15.2% Q/Q and 57% Y/Y to 500.2MW.
Nov. 11, 2014, 12:15 PM
- Newly-public Vivint Solar (VSLR -21.6%) has nosedived after missing Q3 EPS estimates and guiding for Q4 revenue of $5.5M-$6.5M, below a $7.3M consensus. Installations are expected to fall to 45MW-47MW from Q3's 49MW.
- Rivals SolarCity (SCTY -3%) and SunPower (SPWR -3.2%) are following Vivint lower, as are several other solar names. RGSE -6.2%. ENPH -5.7%. CSIQ -2.5%. JKS -2.2%. DQ -4.1%. CSUN -2.7%.
- Solar ETFs: KWT, TAN
Aug. 1, 2014, 12:26 PM
- Solar stocks are underperforming (TAN -4%) amid a market selloff after SunPower (SPWR -8.5%) posted mixed Q2 results and provided Q3/2014 guidance ranges with midpoints below consensus.
- SunPower also announced it's building a new plant (Fab 5) that could go live in 2017 and eventually produce 700MW+/year of modules, boosting its capacity by over 50%. "Our share has been in single digits for a while and demand for the last 24 months suggests that we can expand share," says CEO Tom Werner.
- The announcement comes 6 weeks after SolarCity (SCTY -3.5%) unveiled plans to build a 1GW+ module plant with newly-acquired Silevo's help, and said it will later build "one or more significantly larger plants at an order of magnitude greater annual production capacity."
- Minimal capacity investments, together with rising U.S./Asian demand, have helped module prices stabilize following gut-wrenching declines in prior years.
- Also: SunPower stated on its CC (transcript) it hasn't decided whether to create a solar project YieldCo similar to SunEdison's (SUNE -4.3%) TerraForm Power (TERP -4.7%), which recently turned in a strong IPO. "It does not look like the company is likely to make a decision anytime soon," says Raymond James.
- Nonetheless, Brean has upgraded SunPower to Buy, citing optimism about strong demand and healthy pricing.
- Other notable decliners: FSLR -3.6%. TSL -8.4%. JKS -6%. CSIQ -5.6%. CSUN -5.7%. YGE -5%. SOL -4.5%. ENPH -5.8%. RGSE -4.5%. HSOL -3.9%. JASO -4.4%.
May 7, 2014, 11:45 AM
- A Q1 beat and full-year guidance hike aren't enough to keep First Solar (FSLR -4.2%) from selling off. Possibly contributing: In spite of the guidance hike, First Solar stated on its CC (transcript) Q2 EPS "will be significantly lower" than a $0.60 consensus due to project timings; that implies 2014 results will be very back-end loaded.
- Also: First Solar disclosed in its earnings slides (.pdf) its expected future systems/3rd-party module revenue is down $400M from the end of 2013 to $7.1B. However, expected module shipments are up by 100MW to 2.8GW, and potential booking opportunities have risen by 1.6GW to 12.2GW.
- Module production totaled 441MW, -1% Q/Q and +19% Y/Y. Conversion efficiency rose 10 bps Q/Q and 60 bps Y/Y to 13.5%, with lead-line efficiency rising 30 bps Q/Q and 120 bps Y/Y to 14.2%. The company is aiming for 18.1%-18.9% lead-line efficiency by 2017.
- Other solar stocks are also off (TAN -2.8%), as investors continue showing a take-no-prisoners attitude towards momentum stocks in general. Canadian Solar (CSIQ +0.3%) has given back the premarket gains it saw following a Q1 guidance hike.
- Notable decliners: SCTY -8.8%. SUNE -7%. TSL -5.5%. CSUN -5.1%. YGE -4.8%. SPWR -4.2%. DQ -5.7%.
Mar. 5, 2014, 8:29 AM
- Canadian Solar (CSIQ) -5.4% premarket after swinging to a Q4 profit but warning of weather-related effects on its top line in the current quarter.
- Q4 solar module shipments totaled 621 MW, up 30% Q/Q and 54% Y/Y.
- Issues downside guidance for Q1, seeing revenue of $415M-$430M vs. $545M analyst consensus estimates and solar module shipments of 470-490 MW, caused by severe winter in North America which delayed construction and recognition of ~$100M in revenue from some utility-scale projects in Canada.
- Expects FY 2014 shipments of 2.5-2.7 GW with revenue of $2.7B-$2.9B, in line with analysts' views, as project revenue recognition is back-end loaded.
- Sales have shifted strongly to Asia and the Americas: In Q4, the Asia region accounted for 62% of sales vs. 39% in the year-ago period, the Americas totaled 32% vs. 20%, and Europe accounted for 5.5% vs. 41% a year ago.
- ETFs: TAN, KWT.
Mar. 4, 2014, 1:34 PM
- With the help of positive earnings news from Trina and Yingli, volatile solar stocks are among the standouts (TAN +6%) on a very good day for equities.
- Trina posted mixed Q4 results, but also issued a strong 2014 module shipment forecast. Yingli has pre-announced its Q4 module shipments will be soundly above prior guidance.
- Notable gainers: SPWR +8.6%. JASO +8%. CSUN +6.6%. CSIQ +7.3%. STRI +10.1%. DQ +8.4%. SOL +6%.
- SunEdison (SUNE +10.5%) is taking off with the help of a Morgan Stanley upgrade. Analyst Timothy Radcliff thinks the commercial-scale solar market could grow to 129GW by 2018, with a rush of activity prior to a 2017 federal tax credit cut. He also thinks SunEdison's solar project yieldco spinoff could sport a $1.6B valuation within 12-18 months, and notes such instruments "trade at premium valuations given [their] predictable and growing cash flows."
- JinkoSolar (JKS +14.8%) is more than recouping yesterday's post-earnings losses with the help of positive commentary. Roth (Buy) notes Jinko's 2014 module guidance of 2.3GW-2.5GW beat the firm's 2.1GW estimate, and thinks Jinko is the first Chinese company to see its non-silicon processing costs drop below $0.40/watt.
Feb. 26, 2014, 12:14 PM
- With 17 of the 20 analysts covering First Solar (FSLR -11.5%) holding neutral or bearish stances going into the company's Q4 report, little sympathy is being shown in response to a big Q4 miss and soft Q1 guidance.
- Goldman (Sell, PT lowered to $42 from $45) continues to see a "lack of upside in First Solar's utility-scale model." The firm points to checks showing a "challenging U.S. growth outlook for large-scale utility projects," mixed performance in emerging markets, and the lack of a near-term yieldco spinoff/IPO for First Solar's solar projects (SunEdison recently filed for one).
- Goldman also thinks First Solar's ability to hit a 1:1 book-to-bill at the end of 2013 was accompanied by a mix shift towards lower-margin module orders.
- Morgan Stanley is pleased with First Solar's cost-cutting moves, but also thinks investors are counting on "a large degree of profitable international growth," which it considers "highly uncertain." Cowen expects gross margin to be down 450 bps Q/Q, but also notes Q1 guidance "may not be indicative of full-year results."
- In spite of First Solar, peers are turning in a strong day (TAN +4.1%). The Street's positive response to SunEdison's Capital Markets Day could be helping.
- Notable gainers: SCTY +6.6%. CSIQ +8.4%. DQ +6.9%. JKS +4.2%. JASO +3.5%. ENPH +4.1%.
Nov. 4, 2013, 12:56 PM
- Positive Q3 guidance revisions from Canadian Solar (previous) and Daqo (DQ +11.2%) are fueling another massive rally in solar stocks, some of which jumped last Friday thanks to blowout Q3 numbers from First Solar (FSLR +4.6%).
- Canadian hiked the midpoint of its Q3 module shipment guidance range by more than 10%, and the midpoint of its gross margin guidance range by 800 bps. Daqo has upped its polysilicon shipment range to 1,200-1,275 MT from a prior 1,000 MT, albeit while slightly lowering its wafer shipment guidance to 6.5-6.6 MT from prior 6.8 MT (shipping delays are blamed).
- The guidance hikes follow a string of positive Q2 reports from Chinese solar firms in August, as companies saw both their sales and margins benefit from growing local demand, diminishing overcapacity, and strong shipments to the high-margin Japanese market. Credit Suisse recently predicted improving demand could lead excess Chinese supply to evaporate by late 2014 or 2015.
- Also: Suntech (STP +13.6%) has officially reached a deal to sell its large and bankrupt Wuxi, China unit to solar cell maker Shunfeng (previous), SunPower (SPWR +10.9%) has announced it's buying module cleaning robot developer Greenbiotics, and SolarCity (SCTY +16.4%) has announced (as part of its seemingly non-stop financing binge) it's selling $54.4M in solar asset-backed notes maturing in Dec. 2026.
- Today's winners, aside from the aforementioned companies: JKS +9.8%. JASO +9.2%. RSOL +8.3%. LDK +6.5%. HSOL +5.2%. YGE +7.4%. CSUN +6%. SOL +6.9%. SUNE +3.5%. TSL +9.7%.
- Solar ETFs: KWT, TAN
Jun. 11, 2013, 10:40 AMVolatile solar stocks head south (TAN -4%) after LDK Solar (LDK -8.5%) beat Q1 revenue estimates by $7.1M, but missed EPS forecasts $0.25 thanks to a -57% gross margin (-42.7% exc. a $15.1M inventory write-down), and provided somewhat disappointing revenue guidance. JKS -5.5%. TSL -4.9%. JASO -6.2%. DQ -4.8%. SPWR -4.4%. FSLR -4.9%. YGE -5.2%. GTAT -3.6%. FSLR -4.9%. LDK ended Q1 with $174M in cash, $182M in pledged bank deposits, and a whopping $2.6B in debt. (SolarCity) | Jun. 11, 2013, 10:40 AM | Comment!
May 28, 2013, 10:33 AM2013's giant solar stock rally continues (TAN +3.9%) as the EU faces a backlash over Chinese tariff proposals, and Canadian Solar (CSIQ +15.2%) soundly beats Q1 estimates with the help of a 470 bps Q/Q increase in gross margin to 9.7%. Though CSIQ's opex would only have fallen 3% Y/Y if not for the reversal of a $30M arbitration award, it still fell 17% Q/Q (exc. one-time events) thanks to 25% Q/Q drop in selling expenses. Also: CSIQ is guiding for module shipments to rise to 380MW-410MW in Q2 from Q1's 340MW, and (like JA Solar) is seeing surging Japanese shipments - they rose 76% Q/Q in Q1, and made up 25% of total shipments. TSL +8.4%. JKS +4.6%. YGE +6.9%. LDK +4.8%. DQ +7%. SCTY +2.5%. | May 28, 2013, 10:33 AM | Comment!
May 20, 2013, 10:45 AMJA Solar (JASO +34.4%) is now skying higher following its Q1 beat and full-year shipment guidance reiteration, and is providing fresh fuel for the colossal solar stock rally that started last fall (TAN +4.4%). TSL +13.3%. DQ +20%. LDK +9.9%. JKS +10.3%. SCTY +11.6%. SOL +9.4%. CSUN +8.9%. SPWR +4.9%. ASTI +9.4%. YGE +8.4%. CSIQ +6.6%. The fact 38% of JA's Q1 module shipments went to Japan (a market with higher ASPs/margins than China) is likely going over well with investors. | May 20, 2013, 10:45 AM | 6 Comments
Apr. 9, 2013, 1:41 PMFirst Solar (FSLR +23.8%) guides on its analyst day for 2013 revenue of $3.8B-$4B and EPS of $4-$4.50, far above a consensus of $3.15B and $3.46. Shares have spiked higher on the news, and were shortly halted due to volatility. Other solar names are also surging: SPWR +9.8%. TSL +8.7%. DQ +12.3%. STP +36.1%. LDK +15%. JKS +15.4%. WFR +7.5%. JASO +6.6%. (previous) Update (1:56): First Solar shares are now up 48.2%, and have been halted again. CNNMoney's Paul R. La Monica notes over 1/3 of the float is shorted.

Apr. 1, 2013, 2:00 PMDisappointing Q4 results from Daqo (DQ -9.8%), together with a general decline in risk assets, fuels a rout in solar names. YGE -7.9%. SOL -7.3%. JKS -5.4%. GTAT -4.1%. CSIQ -4.9%. SPWR -2.8%. WFR -2.5%. Daqo's Q4 revenue of $6.2M represented a 77% Y/Y drop, and was well below the $14.5M forecast by the one analyst providing estimates. Gross margin was -178.5% (no typo), a little worse than Q3's -51.1%. Polysilicon output is expected to total 720 MT in Q1, up from Q4's 592 MT. | Apr. 1, 2013, 2:00 PM | Comment!
Nov. 16, 2012, 10:23 AMThe solar industry's bad earnings news won't let up. Yingli (YGE -8.3%) is the latest culprit, warning it expects to report a 17% Q/Q drop for Q3 module shipments on Nov. 28, something that doubtlessly means Yingli's prior guidance for a 31%-37% Y/Y increase in 2012 shipments won't hold. Gross margin is expected to total just 0%-1% if one doesn't include the reversal of a provision related to the ITC's anti-dumping duties, and -22% to -24% if one does. Solar stocks are selling off again (TAN -3%), capping off a brutal week. (Canadian Solar) | Nov. 16, 2012, 10:23 AM | Comment!
Nov. 15, 2012, 1:55 PMIt's still no fun to be a solar manufacturer. Canadian Solar (CSIQ -14%) is seeing huge losses following its big Q3 miss, which is contributing to yet another sector rout (TAN -3.6%). Canadian's gross margin fell to a mere 2.2%, and would likely have been negative if not for its efforts (similar to those of peers) to expand into plant construction. The company expects to ship 380MW-420MW of modules in Q4, compared with 384MW in Q3, and record a gross margin of 1%-3%. (yesterday) (transcript) | Nov. 15, 2012, 1:55 PM | 2 Comments
Aug. 8, 2012, 4:24 PMSunPower (SPWR) is now down 14.1% AH following its Q2 report. It looks as if the Street is skeptical about full-year guidance, and is focusing on the Q2 top-line miss and soft Q3 forecast. SunPower's gross margin rose 240 bps Q/Q to 15.1% thanks to a 10% drop in cost per watt, and played a big role in the EPS beat. However, it's expected to fall to the 10%-12% range in Q3. Other solar names could end up declining tomorrow in sympathy. (PR) | Aug. 8, 2012, 4:24 PM | Comment!

I planted one of these last year, assuming I would not get blooms the first year. Surprisingly, it was beautiful, with several 8 feet tall stems, covered with double pink blooms which resemble carnations. The original plant bloomed again this year, although not quite as vigorously. Last year, after the blooms faded, I harvested seeds to replant. Those plants are currently about 3 feet tall (May in Houston), not sure if I will get blooms this year. Both last year and this year, some of the leaves of my hollyhocks got covered with some sort of pest or disease -- small brown spots -- but it doesn't seem to harm the overall health of the plant. A great addtion to my garden.

It's hard to wait until the second year for the flowers, but they were well worth the wait.

Oh yeah, 2lbs of wings were about 9 pieces.....not big...
Not all that gr8. They charge for water! WTH? Wings were overcooked, fries were great, beer flat, service OK. Better places to go.
Walked through the door & had G8 svs. Sat @ table & it ceased. A bit over price (charged for h2o). Also, we never saw utensils.
They charge for dipping sauce.
