Looking up a colour value in a still image/jitter matrix
I'm writing a patch for visuals for a performance piece, where I want specific pixels in a still image to show depending on the audio.
For the moment, I have a patch working using analyzer~ and feeding of three different sinusoidal components of frequency to determine the RGB values to search for, and they are scaled accordingly.
Currently, using a jit.op with [pass == == ==] as the argument seems to be providing good results.
However, from re tracing my patch, what I believe it to be doing is searching for one value in the Red plane. When it finds a value that equals the number generated by analyzer~, it sends it to the jitter matrix, then off to the window, and it displays.
At the same time, its doing the same thing for the Green and Blue planes.
Consequently, the image pixels never looks like the original image pixels. Its quite interesting none the less! And will be used at a later date, the joys of experimenting!
However, if I wanted to search though a jitter matrix for one location that had a specific colour, for example R=255 G=255 B=255, and display only that colour pixel in the next matrix, what would I use?
I seem to be giving it headaches with a very convoluted jit.iter patch… :(
From what you say, It sounds like each plane is getting compared independently of any other plane – which makes sense. If you persist with this method you will need some logical comparison to check that *all* 3 planes are outputting their respective matched value before any output is allowed. (Value R & Value G & Value B)
A couple of alternate strategies: either combine the three planes into a single 24 or 32 bit value and then search for the specific RGB value in that format, or alternately it could be done using jit.expr – Where the value for every plane is matched to your criteria before the output is true. – if you can determine the correct expression.
There may a simpler way but it hasn't occurred to me while replying.
Thanks spectro.
I figured I was up to the stage on constructing logic, and was looking into various functions in zl to see if that would help. Perhaps its time I jump into the deep end and start understanding the logic required work jit.expr.
In regards to converting three planes into a 24 or 32 bit value, and then searching for that value, how does this process work? Recommendations of objects would be great, as I'm a little lost on this concept! I think I've seen this used in a type of coll storage situation, but it did baffle me a little as to how it worked.
And on the note of coll, am I right to assume that this is a little basic for my needs?
Sorry for all the question, I'm a little new to the idea of storing data as lists, and retrieving data from those lists :)
I ended up using a collection of jit.ops. – 3 to test for the specific R G and B values and another 3 to logically AND the results of each colour plane. The problem I see with this is that the result is very "binary" pixels are eeither active with the precise RGB value, or they aren't- you may be better placed looking for a range of values rather than just one specific value but this is more an aesthetic issue and it is what I understand you were looking to get.
There is a suckah object above the top window to select the colour – Interestingly this Suckah didn't work properly on my second monitor – giving different values to those expected – which had me looking for a logical problem for some time where there wasn't! – DOH! – I suspect this comes back to the colour profile set on the monitor. Traps for players (and people with dodgy color vision).
If this what you are after you won't need to convert to a 32 bit long) value – which means packing the ARGB values from each plane of a 4 plane matrix into a single 32 bit integer (search for "ARGB Java" to find out how) As far as using colls in this context – I can't see its any advantage over using jitter objects.

Hey spectro,
I see what you mean. I just wanted to see exactly what it would do I guess :)
How do I search for a range of values instead? As in within a particular threshhold?
My knowledge of language for jit.op is pretty limited, I guess with the 'logic' calculations. Also, would you be able to explain the difference between an argument and an '@' argument?
i guess you need to change the @op == for @op < or @op > and play with the paremeter..
btw theres another method to do similar task with jit.expr…
but be ready, jit.expr realms are somehow dark… still to me…
i did a small explantation in the patch…
isnt a perfect method because the color components, but you can develop the expression to be more precise using more operations and thersholds..
good luck!

Excellent work
a truly wonderful piece!
splendid! you're awesome!
Beautiful piece. Lighting is gorgeous, as always. My only critique would be to note that the piece lacks atmospheric perspective. The values at the furthest point away from the viewer are pretty much the same as those closest to the viewer.
Amazing, as always. And also; I talked to a friend YESTERDAY about going here some day ... this is a sign!
Your painting is beautiful

Veil Of Politics
Foreign instructors are training Syrian rebels in modern warfare in Jordan, suggest media reports from Europe. Sources claim the trainees will be the security force if Assad goes, while the combat skills they are being taught distort the picture.
In the past three months some 200 men have already received training in two camps in the east and the south of Jordan, Der Spiegel reports. The military training focuses on the use of anti-tank weaponry, the news magazine reported, citing what it said were participants and organizers. It adds that there are plans to provide training for a total of 1,200 fighters from the Free Syrian Army – the opposition force battling the regime of President Bashar Assad.
The report said that some of the Americans wore army uniforms, but it did not specify whether they worked for private firms or represented the US military.
Last October the Pentagon confirmed that a small group of US special forces and military advisers had spent the summer in Jordan training the country's military to act in case Syria used its chemical weapons. Reportedly, select groups of Syrian rebels were trained, too.
As Britain's The Guardian reported on Friday, the US is not alone in their efforts. UK and French instructors are also in Jordan training the Syria rebels.
Though the American, British and French Defense Ministries have not commented so far on the information about the FSA being trained in Jordan, this move does not contradict either the US plans for non-lethal directaid to Syrian opposition or British understanding of the EU arms embargo enforced on Syria.
"Such technical assistance can include assistance, advice and training on how to maintain security in areas no longer controlled by the regime, on co-ordination between civilian and military councils, on how to protect civilians and minimize the risks to them, and how to maintain security during a transition," the UK Foreign Minister William Hague told the British Parliament last Wednesday.
Der Spiegel's source in Brussels shared that the EU embargo on arms supplies to Syria adopted in early March is "deliberately hazy."
"When it comes to technical assistance, what it means in practice depends on who you ask. The Brits and the French, for example, are much more forward-leaning than others. The principle is that the assistance should be for the protection of civilians, but as we saw in Libya, that can be interpreted in different ways," the source said.
In Libya the Western interference in the country's affairs started with establishing a no-fly zone, ostensibly to protect the civilian population in a civil war, and ended with an allied military force helping the Libyan rebels storm the capital Tripoli to oust the country's strongman Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The leader finally was brutally murdered by militia without legitimate criminal investigations and court decisions.
Today Libya exists as a territory with nominal central authority and uncontrollable violence regularly sparking between groups of armed rebels and local Bedouins.
Jordanian intelligence is also taking part in training the Syrian rebels, busy filtering off radical Islamists (Salafists) from the candidates for advanced foreign training. The foreign instructors particularly prefer to choose former officers who have defected from the Syrian regular troops.
"The Americans now trust us more than the Turks, because with the Turks everything is about gaining leverage for action against the Kurds," a Jordanian insider in Amman explained to The Guardian.
Reportedly, the Americans are disappointed with the results of help being channeled to the Syrian opposition groups through Turkey, as Ankara has either failed or deliberately allowed the Islamist extremists to prevail the rebel activities in the northern Syrian front.
Other known sponsors of the rebels, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, are also channeling their help to the Syrian opposition via Jordan.
In late February Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the US will provide the Syrian opposition with US$60 million in aid, including armored vehicles, non-lethal military equipment, and technical aid.
The Guardian reported that a small number of British special forces have already been stationed in Jordan beforehand so that once the West takes the decision to intervene in Syria directly they could act immediately. While they await the deployment order, they are busy training the rebels the modern warfare tactics.
The newspaper's Jordanian source insists the training operation underway is of rather a moderate scale.
Yet Der Spiegel reports that the program is aimed at training up to 10,000 FSA fighters to form around a dozen combat-effective units. The Guardian earlier said that this force will be needed to restore order in Syria once President Bashar Assad is gone.
Though The Guardian insists the anti-Assad allies are likely to be training a police task force to maintain order in post-war Syria rather than to turn the war around, the training with anti-tank weaponry does not exactly fit into that picture.
At the same time an anonymous Jordanian official has expressed hope that this force might also give a hand to Jordan if the situation with the Syrian refugees deteriorates completely and hundreds of thousands of additional refugees flow into the country.
This can easily happen if the public services of the Syria's southern city of Daraa collapse. In that case a possible 1 million refugees might seek shelter in Jordan.
Reportedly, Jordan has already accommodated over 320,000 refugees from Syria.
Since the beginning of conflict in Syria over two years ago now up to 70,000 people have been killed on both sides, reported Syrian activists. Over 1 million people have become refugees, fleeing the country to neighboring states.
Nihad Mossa, director general of the Ministry of Oil's State Company for Oil Projects (SCOP), told The Jordan Times on Monday that Jordan and Iraq have signed an $18-billion agreement to build a 1,056 mile double pipeline that will supply Jordan with crude oil and natural gas.
Obama's 24-hour stop in Jordan marked his first visit to an Arab nation since the 2011 Mideast protests began. Jordan's monarchy has clung to power in part by enacting political reforms, including parliamentary elections and significant revisions to the country's 60-year-old constitution. Sound Familiar Folks? Huffington Post
Exactly 3 weeks later The 1,056 mile 'double pipeline' carrying oil to Jordan is negotiated.
He added that the Iraqi government is keen to proceed with the plan and will begin immediately. The 1,680-kilometre double pipeline will pump one-million barrels of oil a day from Basra on the Arabian Gulf to Jordan's Aqaba Port, and around 258 million cubic feet of gas.
From this, 150,000 barrels of oil will be used in Jordan, with the rest exported through Aqaba, generating an estimated $3 billion a year in revenues for Jordan, reports Al Bawaba. Approximately 100 million cubic feet of natural gas will fulfil Jordan's gas requirements, with "the excess gas [being] used in pumping stations along the double pipeline".
Thamer Ghadban, chief adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki and former oil minister, said that Jordan is the "nearest" country to Iraq, which is looking forward to enhance its relationship with neighbouring countries.
Ghadban added that Iraq has now a new vision to separate the political situation in the region from its economic plans, under which Baghdad is seeking to promote its oil, especially as Iraq is considered OPEC's second exporting member.
The Iraqi government will finance the building of the section from Basra to Haditha on a EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract, while the Haditha-to-Aqaba section will be built on a "build, operate, transfer" basis.
"This week we will invite selected companies to bid for the pipeline from Basra to Haditha and by the year-end we expect the designs to be ready for this part in order to proceed with the process," Mossa said.
In the first quarter of 2014, a tender will be floated to build the pipeline from Haditha to Aqaba, Mossa said.
The project, which includes extending a sub-line to Jordan's sole refinery in Zarqa, will be operational by the end of 2017, and will create about 10,000 jobs in Iraq and Jordan.

Multifocal myositis was diagnosed in a 7-year-old Quarter Horse gelding on the basis of history and findings on physical examination, serum biochemical analysis, electromyography, and microscopic examination of frozen sections of muscle biopsy specimens. Histologic examination of the muscle specimen revealed multifocal accumulations of histiocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells, with attendant myofiber degeneration and necrosis. Parasitic cysts with morphologic characteristics of Sarcocystis sp were found in regions of myocyte degeneration and necrosis, and in regions of normal muscle. Based on a tentative diagnosis of Sarcocystis sp-induced myositis, the horse was treated with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and pyrimethamine for 28 days, phenylbutazone for 5 days, and paddock rest for 30 days. At the end of treatment, the horse had gained 35 kg, its appetite had returned to normal, and muscle mass was returning to normal. Sarcocystis fayeri is the only Sarcocystis sp reported in equine muscle in the United States and is rarely associated with acute myositis or muscle atrophy. The development of clinical signs in this horse could have been the result of an underlying immunosuppression or infection with a particularly pathogenic strain or large infective dose of S fayeri.

BMO is a girl?
BMO is genderless, but is totally fine with whatever gender you assign to it.
I know Beemo is genderless I just thought drawing this would be cute.
Besides, due to my commissions/gallery, I definitely wouldn't be able to criticize you lol
So sorry. That was meant for Kaedyliz13 not for you. I didn't mean to be one of those "... b-b-but BMO is [insert gender]!!!1" commentators.
N.E.P.T.R. is such a ladies man. still not sure if beemo is male or female.
N.E.P.T.R. is a ladies man... until he throws the pie in beemo's face XD and Beemo is whatever Beemo wants to be ;D
well, in a episode when bmo is talking to "football" in the mirror, he said he was a real living boy.

The Best "Behind The Scenes" Show On TV!
Airing on TV One since 2008, Unsung is sort of a black Behind the Music, detailing the rise and fall of various R&B stars who haven't gotten their proper respect with time.
The show has covered some of my all-time faves (Tammi Terrell, Florence Ballard), as well as acts outside my palette (Alexander O'Neal, Angela Winbush), but even if I start out not caring at all about the people in question, I find myself riveted--wrapped up in their rise up the charts and glued to the sad derailing that often involves bad management, saggy label support, internal fighting, bad luck, or some kind of addictive behavior.
I have watched entire Unsungs about Klymaxx and Atlantic Starr without even knowing what they really did, or giving a crap. And by the end, I adore everyone involved and become desperate for them to make a huge, splashy comeback.
The show beautifully tells a story using interviews and archival footage, creating a tapestry of music dreams achieved and dashed, all related with realness and feeling.
The one about Angela Bofill--who had a string of hits, then petered out and had a stroke--is one of the best, a testament to life and love.
On that show, she's seen duetting with Phyllis Hyman, the talented beauty who was her friendly rival, and who tragically ended up killing herself.
Phyllis, naturally, has her own Unsung as well.
Long may these people be sung (along with Teena Marie, Minnie Riperton, Sly & the Family Stone, and on and on).
The new season includes shows on Mint Condition, Lou Rawls, and EPMD (pictured above).
Check with me in a few months and I will be one of their biggest fans.

Abortion Quotes and Sayings
There are two victims in every abortion: a dead baby and a dead conscience.
Abortion: The guilt hurts more than labor.
I hate that when women who had an abortion have a kid later. And the kid turns out to b a brat. Your original baby could have been an angel but he/she is one now.
If abortion isn't wrong, then nothing is wrong.
If we accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill each other? Any country that accepts abortions is not teaching people to love but to use any violence to get what they want.
– Mother Teresa
Abortion does not make you unpregnant, it makes you mother of a dead baby!
Don't like your rights taken away?
Don't stop abortion.
Abortion is an outdated thing, practiced in the present.
How come when it's us, it's an abortion, and when it's a chicken, it's an omelette?
– George Carlin

Sawyer glares at Ben, then hauls off and socks him. Ben's so-called bodyguards have the slowest reaction time of any bodyguards ever, and they eventually get a loose hold on Sawyer's arms, which could, I suppose, at least slow any further attempts to beat up their boss. "You son of a bitch," growls Sawyer, who would really benefit from a profanity thesaurus. Ben gingerly touches his mouth, then says the rabbit wasn't what he brought Sawyer here to see.
They keep walking, and Sawyer sees it: across the water, maybe a mile away, another island. Or, as Ben explains, it's actually Craphole Island. Ben says where they are now is an island roughly twice the size of Alcatraz. "That over there? That's your island. The one you've come to know and love." He just wanted Sawyer to know there's nowhere to run. Sawyer can't believe that they did all this just to keep him in a "damn cage." Neither can I, since it's apparently unnecessary. "We did all this because the only way to gain a con man's respect is to con him," says Ben. "You're pretty good, Sawyer. But we're a lot better." I agree with that, except for the part about Sawyer being pretty good. Sawyer seems fairly lousy, most of the time. Can't seem to finish the job, usually.
They look at the island for a moment. Ben says it's interesting that it wasn't when they put the pacemaker in Sawyer but when they threatened Kate that he fell in line.

It don't make no difference who the guy is, long as he's with ya. I tell ya... I tell ya, a guy gets too lonely and he gets sick.'" "What the hell are you talking about?" snaps Sawyer. "It's from Of Mice and Men," says Ben. "Don't you read?" Apparently, Sawyer doesn't read the whole book before he feels superior enough to throw quotations at people.
"C'mon. Let's get you back to your cage," says Ben, turning to go. Sawyer stands there a moment staring across the water before he follows. On the plus side, at least he doesn't have to worry about getting a boner anymore.

Apparently, the Eagles saw enough from their linebackers in the first two games to switch things up before their Week 3 matchup against the Giants.
The Inquirer's Jeff McLane reported this morning that Jamar Chaney had been moved to the middle, Casey Matthews to the WILL and Moise Fokou back to the SAM. Chaney later confirmed the switches to the beat guys at Novacare.
So, the Eagles are almost back to where they were last season, with Chaney and Fokou playing in the same spots they occupied at the end of 2010. And instead of Ernie Sims, it'll be Matthews on the weak side.
Here's my take, player-by-player, on the moves:

Gay Pride March route map
Find out where to watch the Gay Pride March this year, when it takes over Fifth Avenue and the West Village
Gay Pride in New York is a monthlong affair, packed with parties, Gay Pride events and general chaos (in a good way). The highlight is the NYC Pride March, which follows a lavender line painted from 36th Street at Fifth Avenue down to the West Village—the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement. For those looking to watch from the sidelines, the march's northern reaches (anything above Madison Square Park) tend to be less crowded, while a nonstop party throng dominates the Village. Stake your place accordingly!

|Deadpool #4 variant cover by Tradd Moore
By Alex Zalben
Can Deadpool stand up to his tallest order yet against undead President Abraham Lincoln? Well, ready or not, the 16th President of the United States will be gunning for the Merc With a Mouth in DEADPOOL #4 on January 16.
To handicap the fracas, we talked to amateur fight announcers—and the writing team behind the book—Brian "Hosin'*" Posehn and Gerry "Berry**" Duggan…
*…Down the ring because there's so much blood in it after a fight.
**Because berries are the color of blood. How many more issues do we have for making up these nicknames? Two more. Oh boy.
Brian Posehn: "Something that rhymes with emancipator."
Gerry Duggan: "Nothing rhymes with emancipator."
Brian Posehn: "Dammit."
Marvel.com: See you later?
Brian Posehn: "See you later, emancipator!"
Gerry Duggan: "Lincoln can really take a shot. And he's got reach too."
Brian Posehn: "He's the people's fighter. He's one of the most beloved Presidents. It's gonna be hard to beat someone who's so well liked."
|Deadpool #3 preview art by Tony Moore
Gerry Duggan: "Been in the ground a long time."
What baggage does Lincoln bring to this fight? What's his history, and what should we be looking for?
Gerry Duggan: "This is going to be the most accurate representation of Abraham Lincoln. No offense to Daniel Day Lewis' wonderful performance in the Spielberg movie. Lincoln can take a shot, he's got the reach, and he's the crowd favorite. Deadpool goes in as the underdog and really the spoiler. Lincoln is so beloved that Deadpool would go in as the bad guy in this one."
What's Deadpool got to do to win? What's his ideal strategy here, and what's going to hold him back?
Brian Posehn: "Get the crowd on his side. Go for the head."
Gerry Duggan: "Emancipate Lincoln's brain. He has to put in a signature performance."
Odds of Winning
Brian Posehn: ["Lincoln is] in issue #4 and there are six issues, so they're probably not very good odds that he'll win."

Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

(hidden for your protection)
Over at Fortune today you will find a story about Marty Chavez, a Goldman Sachs partner who rejoined the firm 2005 after leaving for several years to found a business, sell it, and retire to Fire Island. Chavez would've been content to live out his life on the beach but one day, this happened:
…he got a call from now-president Gary Cohn, then co-head of global securities. "I heard you sold your company — congratulations," Chavez recalls him saying. "I heard you retired. That's ridiculous. I was just calling to share with you that you're coming back." When Chavez told him he was burned out on commodities, Cohn suggested investment banking. Chavez didn't know the first thing about banking, but Cohn was insistent.
Generally, when Gary Cohn talks, you listen. He doesn't call to offer you a job, he calls to tell you you're taking it. He doesn't give you time to think things over, he sticks his grundle in your face and asks "What's there to think about?" In this case, however, he knew a more subtle touch was necessary.
So he put this wheels in motion for this to happen:
Chavez was reluctant. But after some soul-searching at a silent monastery in New Mexico, he says he had an epiphany. "It's the only time in my life that I would say there was a clear message from the universe," he says. It might have been that he wanted out of his task for the day — cleaning toilets — but Chavez says he realized that he wanted to effect transformation in a global way and that returning to Goldman was the way to do it.
Ah, yes, "the universe," wink-wink. Or was it Gary D. Cohn, who flew down to New Mexico and during Chavez's daily meditation hid behind some shrubbery and whispered "Goooo to Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs is the way, my son"? Only the universe can say.

OLD Star Trek TNG drawing by kgreeneWatch
©2012-2016 kgreene
Wow, I couldn't even tell you how old this unfinished piece is. I remember having fun drawing it but never got around to finishing it. Maybe I'll do a digital version of it....
Nice Lay Out
If you ever do finish those last 4 off I would be interested in buying it.
Wow. I'll get on that! Lol.... actually the board is in pretty rough shape. Watermarks, spots... it's over twenty years old I believe. But I'll see about finishing it. Thank you!
can't wait to see it finished, it looks great so far!
Thanks! But honestly, I don't think I'll ever finish it...
Do it!
YESSS! So awesome.

BEER + WINE ISSUE: Adult beverages come full circle with new "sparkling alcohol water"
AIR Know that for this article I just spent an ungodly amount of time popping the Youtube replay button on Biggie's 1995 30-second TV spot for St. Ides malt liquor, "Big Poppa" shoutouts from passing flygirls and all. Why besides the fashion tips, you ask? Turns out St. Ides is from good ol' San Francisco, created by the McKenzie River Corporation, a somewhat overlooked party beverage marketing powerhouse that also brought us Steele Reserve, Black Star, and the one, the only Sparks, truly the hipster runoff off the '00s.Read more »

iHeartRadio, the Internet radio streaming app, is out with a new version for iPhone today adding a couple of new features for listeners. First up is support for Apple's CarPlay feature for CarPlay-equipped vehicles. This presents an optimized version of the iPhone app on CarPlay equipped cars' built-in screens when connected to the iPhone making it easier to navigate and control the app when driving.
Apple has mentioned that iHeartRadio is a supported CarPlay app since the re-branded feature was introduced earlier this year, but support was not yet available when we reviewed CarPlay in an aftermarket Pioneer display last month. iHeartRadio brings a wide variety of content to CarPlay with stations ranging from talk radio to sports to various music genres, and traditional AM/FM stations with online streams can be accessed through CarPlay using the new iHeartRadio app for iPhone. expand full story

Apple is beginning a campaign today to win back the video-editing community that abandoned its flagship video-editing software after the release of its controversial Final Cut Pro X. The LA Times reported that following several updates to the software over the last two years to fix some of the criticisms, Apple is launching a number new ads on its website today that feature professionals using Final Cut Pro X. The campaign is apparently timed to lined up with upcoming National Association of Broadcasters convention and aims to win over professional video editors by featuring professionals such as editors at the Globe and Mail newspaper:
Now, after updating the software seven times since its release in 2011, Apple is launching a campaign Thursday aimed at winning back skeptical professional users.
Starting Thursday, the company plans to begin posting three stories on its website, including Liurette's, aimed at changing the minds of folks like Miller by demonstrating how sophisticated users have embraced Final Cut Pro X. The stories will also feature Tsui Hark, one of the biggest names in Hong Kong cinema, and TV Azteca, which produces thousands of telenovela episodes every year.
It's no secret that the professional video editing community was up in arms over Apple's decision to release what they viewed as a scaled-back, prosumer version of Final Cut Pro with the release of Final Cut Pro X almost two years ago. Despite the Mac App Store dropping the cost of FCP from almost $700 to $299, pro video editors complained Apple had stripped away some of the software's core features to create a simple experience for the average Mac user and not professionals. It earned FCPX the nickname "iMovie Pro" and criticism in the mainstream media followed by a response from Apple and eventually even refunds of the app to unsatisfied customers. expand full story

I think this is a pretty great product! I have oily skin & this product does not make my skin feel wet or cakey. It is very light and makes my skin feel like I'm hardly even wearing makeup. It gives decent coverage, although I'd say you would probably want to apply concealer to any big problem spots you had as this BB cream doesn't completely conceal them. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

Late innings a concern for Beckett
Josh Beckett topped out at 96 mph with his fastball tonight and hit 95 mph 11 times. So health is not an issue. Your shoulder and elbow have to be pretty sound to throw the ball that hard that many times.
But Beckett allowed four runs on 11 hits and lost to the White Sox. He ends his season 6-6 with an unsightly 5.78 ERA. This is not what the Red Sox expected after investing $68 million in Beckett back in April.
Let's discount the first eight starts of the season. Those were long ago and preceded a two-month stretch on the disabled list with a bad back.
Let's focus on how Beckett has pitched since returning to the roster on July 23. In 13 starts he was 5-5 with a 4.94 ERA. Over 82 innings he allowed 94 hits and walked 26 while striking out 76.
Beckett's strikeout numbers are in line with his career averages. The 2.9 walks per nine innings are right around what he usually averages, too.
His WHIP was 1.46 in those starts, higher than his 1.22 before this season but not outrageously so.
So what happened? Stamina seems to be the biggest issue. In Beckett's final 13 starts, he had a 13.17 ERA after the fifth inning. His ERA prior to the fifth inning was 3.42.
That's how it happened tonight. It was 1-1 then the White Sox scored three runs in the seventh inning on a flurry of hits.
It seems that hitters are getting more comfortable the third time they see Beckett, which can be the case with a lot of pitchers. But the good ones overcome that.
I asked Josh tonight if he knew any reason for this and he said he hadn't really thought about it. He said he feels fine physically but acknowledges he needs to be better later in games.
"I need to be the same guy on the 120th pitch I am on the first," he said. "I know that."
Becket (and John Lackey, for that matter) could get the same piece of advice from the Red Sox they gave David Ortiz last winter: Come back in better shape. Beckett is 10 seasons into his career and turns 31 next May. He can't take it for granted he's going to be the same guy he was before.
If 2010 proved anything, he isn't.

In 1998, leftist activists ganged up on Proposition 227, which mandated English immersion classes for most limited-English students. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund and California Teachers Association opposed the measure.
It didn't matter, as the Los Angeles Times had reported, that in the preceding year 1,150 state schools failed to promote any limited-English students to English fluency. President Clinton's Education Secretary Richard Riley told The San Francisco Chronicle the measure was a "disaster." Gray Davis, then a candidate for governor, opposed 227. So did his two Democratic rivals and state schools chief Delaine Eastin.
Activists accused then-Gov. Pete Wilson of race-baiting in supporting the "wedge" measure. Pundits warned that to the extent Republicans supported 227, the GOP would alienate Latino voters. GOP gubernatorial nominee Dan Lungren came out against 227.
California voters approved the measure by 61 percent of the vote.
The voters, you see, wanted results, not excuses. Proposition 227 mandated that public schools place English learners in immersion classes, unless their parents opted for bilingual education classes.
Last week, the state Department of Education released figures that showed that the number of limited-English students who meet minimum standards in English skills rose to 34 percent in 2002 -- that's up from 11 percent in 2001.
English proficiency for students in bilingual education rose as well, if not as well as immersion students, from a lousy 3 percent in 2001 to 16 percent in 2002. The good news is that 227's focus on English seems to have rubbed off on the bilingual lobby.
Ron Unz, the millionaire techno-geek author of 227, cites state STAR test reading scores that show that the number of limited-English second-graders (not in bilingual ed) scoring above the national average doubled, from 18 percent in 1998 to 36 percent in 2002. In the same time frame, the reading scores of bilingual-ed second graders crept from 13 percent to 14 percent.
Math STAR scores rose from 34 percent to 51 percent for limited-English non-bilingual second-graders.
As Unz boasted, "What we're talking about is the largest controlled experiment in the history of American education" in "the largest state in America, and their test scores have doubled." Here I have to disagree. The largest experiment was bilingual education. It was nationwide. It failed year after year, yet the establishment kept pouring money into it while manufacturing excuses for rampant failure.

While Congress further takes up the debate on offshore drilling and continues to speculate on the role of speculators, there are things we can do now to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our nation's energy infrastructure. "Boutique fuels" are so named because they are specialty blends which seek to mitigate poor air quality standards in certain areas. While the Clean Air Act specifically requires certain areas to utilize federal reformulated gasoline (RFG) in order to reduce emissions and improve air quality, in some cases states are able to create their own standards in order to meet air quality goals.
The numerous unique boutique fuel blends now sold in this country all share the same goal to improve air quality standards. However, the negative impact of these differing standards is incompatibility. Specialty blends often cannot be moved from one area of the country to the other in order to meet demand – which in turn can cause a significant impact on gas prices. This is especially true in times of disaster or pipeline service outages.
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita tragically demonstrated this point. In the days after Hurricane Rita, nearly one third of our nation's refining capacity was offline. Nearly seven months later, 8 percent of our refining capacity was still shut down. The nation watched as gas prices in certain areas skyrocketed overnight, and as a result, the President authorized EPA to issue many waivers in the ensuing months, relaxing boutique fuel regulations so that a sorely needed fuel supply could reach those who no longer had a roof over their head.
The average American filling up his or her tank may not be aware of the chemistry that goes into crafting that unique gallon of gas that is specially formulated to improve air quality in their region. However, he or she may wonder when the price of that gallon of gas increases overnight in times of emergency, especially if that price reaches far beyond our current average – which today is $4.11.
We must improve our nation's infrastructure and allow EPA the authority to waive these specialized fuel requirements when necessary. Since all of these fuels have the same aim, I also believe we must reduce the number of boutique fuels and increase the fungibility of gasoline throughout this nation.

Avengers Loki Art Card by kevinbolkWatch
©2012-2016 kevinbolk
Last card in the Avengers movie set I'm making for my summer conventions. This is the film's main antagonist, Loki (because I didn't want to see his fangirls cry.)
Thanks for checking these out. Here's the rest of the set:
plus Nick Fury and Agent Coulson
Thanks for checking these out. Here's the rest of the set:
plus Nick Fury and Agent Coulson
I just know, that someone out there in this big amazing world, has just been Loki'd. X3
You did a brilliant job on these!!
Favoriting because Loki
ESPECIALLY LOKI!!! (sorry for all the shouting)
Man I need to go watch the Avengers... Recently watched Thor and thought it was awesome.
they are so cool and the captain one is just soo cute
These are amazing!! Do you draw them by hand then scan and digitally color them, or is it all done digitally?
heh, loki's mah fave. But it was HILARIOUS when Loki was all like, "... I place myself above you and I will not be bullied by some--" And then hulk was all like, *SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH* And then Loki was all like "...Oww..."
Ahhh, a friend got me one of these at a convention! I enjoy it. :]
Saving the best for last, eh? Yaya!
UGH, KEVIN. I've been keeping these in my message center since you started posting them. THESE ARE ALL SO AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC. Like, mere words cannot fully express how much I absolutely ADORE these. You sir are perfect. Just absolutely perfect. Never stop drawing.
Awesome work in the Avenger series kevinolk! My daughter and I finally saw the movie on Memorial Day and loved it. I really like your cards. You do amazing work!

"If it's all the same to you, I think I'll have that drink."

That being said, he's an adorable little lunatic, ain't he?
Just commenting here, but this applies to all of them. I love the way you caricaturize these guys' faces - they're adorably cartoony and yet they still look recognizably like the actors who played them. It's something I've always enjoyed about your work, and a skill I really admire.
I'm in love with this guy. He's sooo sexy.

Excellent as usual, my good sir.

continued The board also rejected the college's argument that since it must allow this fence to be built because previous fence construction had been allowed. The board said those fences were not comparable to the currently proposed fence in size and scope, were internal to college property and not on the property edge, and therefore the comparison was not applicable.
In their petition to the state supreme court, college attorneys Kevin M. Bernstein and Kathleen M. Bennett, of the Syracuse law firm Bond, Schoeneck & King, requested the court to declare the ZBA decision "null and void," to direct the ZBA to find that the installation of a perimeter fence does not require site plan approval, to direct the ZEO to issue a building permit for the fence and for "such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper."
The college's 19-page petition to the court stated that:
—The ZBA acted outside of its jurisdiction by raising issues in its decision that were not part of the ZEO's interpretation of the village code or of the college's appeal of that interpretation.
—The ZBA improperly applied provisions of the village code to determine that the college's permit request for the fence required a full site plan review. The suit alleges that the fence is not a "structure," but is an "accessory structure" and therefore is exempt from site plan review. It also states that the ZBA's logic that the fence is an aspect of the previous turf field project "is a reach — at best," and "flawed logic" that would require any new accessory structure in the village to be tied to previous projects "no matter how tenuous the connection."
—The ZBA unlawfully extended the provisions of the zoning code against the college by concluding that other relevant sections of the zoning regulations must be considered in such a case where a fence would control access to a facility that had previously undergone an exhaustive site plan review — or that the village code "could not be read in a vacuum."

Once again this chapter will chart the history of a technology of culture—in this case, that of broadcasting—to see how a means of cultural production was developed and exploited as an intervention in the sphere of the social. The primary focus will be an exploration of the social, political and cultural implications of the realisation of broadcasting in terms of its internalisation of a 'mass' audience. On the one hand, it will put forward the argument that the regulation of this internalisation was fundamental to the development of the forms of asymmetry between cultural and social reproduction which came to characterise broadcasting. On the other hand, it will also suggest that the forms of autonomy which characterise broadcasting derive, in part at least, from the cultural realisation of the technical possibility of universality of reception. A second, related, focus will be the extent and nature of access to communication actually made possible by broadcasting as the primary means of cultural reproduction in the mid-twentieth century.
The last decades of the nineteenth century and the first two of the twentieth century saw the emergence of a series of related technologies of communication. The principal incentives to their development came from problems of information exchange and control in expanding commercial and military operations. So, for example, telegraphy and telephony and, in its early stages, radio, were developed within a communications network which was serving the needs of the established and growing military and commercial complex. These technologies were thus initially developed for, and organised around, the communication uses of specific person to specific person within established structures.

Eugene Morrison Stoner (November 22, 1922 - April 24, 1997) is the man most associated with the design of the AR-15, which was adopted by the US military as the M16. He is regarded by most historians, along with John Browning and John Garand, as one of the United States' most successful military firearms designers of the 20th century.

By taking part in the state's voting ritual, you affirm the legitimacy of the system, you tell the government how you want the state's machinery to run, you say how you want to force people to live. By not voting, you are voicing your displeasure with the system, you are showing it has no validity in your life, you're showing it's irrelevant and the system is an illegitimate fraud.

It is those that vote who help perpetuate the corruption of the system.

Those that abstain from such a system have every right to complain and those that vote, those that are partially responsible for the system continuing, are the ones that can't complain.

If you don't vote it will probably be construed as "too lazy to vote" or "I don't give a damm about anything.period"
"I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. The **** they shovel around every 4 years *pfff* doesn't mean a f****ing thing. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around – they say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain', but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with."

Normandy depicts the planning and execution of Operation Overlord in 96 full-color pages. The initial paratrooper assault is shown, as well as the storming of the five D-Day beaches: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. But the story does not end there. Once the Allies got ashore, they had to stay ashore. The Germans made every effort to push them back into the sea. This book depicts the such key events in the Allied liberation of Europe as: 1. Construction of the Mulberry Harbors, two giant artificial harbors built in England and floated across the English Channel so that troops, vehicles, and supplies could be offloaded across the invasion beaches.2. The Capture of Cherbourg, the nearest French port, against a labyrinth of Gennan pillboxes.3. The American fight through the heavy bocage (hedgerow country) to take the vital town of Saint-Lô.4. The British-Canadian struggle for the city of Caen against the "Hitler Youth Division," made up of 23,000 seventeen- and eighteen-year-old Nazi fanatics.5. The breakout of General Patton's Third Army and the desperate US 30th Division's defense of Mortaine.6. The Falaise Pocket, known as the "Killing Ground, " where the remnants of two German armies were trapped and bombed and shelled into submission. The slaughter was so great that 5,000 Germans were buried in one mass grave. 7. The Liberation of Paris, led by the 2nd Free French Armored Division, which had been fighting for four long years with this goal in mind.
