Two of the recent covers I've done.
The first one is for the CBLDF's Liberty Annual 2013. The editor for this anthology changes every year and this one's Scott Allie. I did this cover and Fábio also has a little story in there. It will be out in October by Image Comics.
And also my variant cover for THE TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS #5, crazy mini series by Gerard Way, Shaun Simon and Becky Cloonan. Edited by Sierra Hahn and published by Dark Horse, this will also be out in October.
There's a lesson to be learned here. Make friends with editors. Get to know their names, what books they edit, who they work with. If they like your work and they trust you, they'll get you cool gigs.

Basic Renters Information:
To live in your own apartment is a rite of passage that occurs during college. Living on your own is fun, but there are responsibilities connected with being a tenant that need to be taken seriously. There are many vacancies in the apartments and houses in Scranton and the surrounding areas, and it is very difficult to "break" a lease once it is signed or to find someone to sublease.
APPLICATIONS Some rental application forms are legally binding and if you are accepted, you could be required to sign a lease. Know what you are applying for by asking to see a copy of the lease before signing your application.
READ YOUR LEASE Respect the lease for the legal contract that it is and to which you are obligated once you sign.
MENTION any special conditions, such as medical considerations (i.e. allergies) at the time of the application.
HAVE A WRITTEN AGREEMENT with your roommates. Regardless of how close your friendship with a potential roommate may or may not be, it's always a good idea to put contracts in writing.
NEVER HAVE ORAL AGREEMENTS with the landlord. Always require that any additional agreements be written and signed on the lease no matter how minor an item. If it is part of your agreement, the landlord should be willing to write it down.
ALWAYS give your landlord a written notice of any problems, this includes repairs, safety issues or changes in your rental status.

Aqib Talib questionable to return after leaving with thigh injury
|01.20.13 at 7:28 pm ET
FOXBORO — Patriots starting right cornerback Aqib Talib left late in the first quarter with a right thigh injury and is questionable to return, according to the Patriots.
Talib injured himself on a pass breakup of a Joe Flacco pass intended for Anquan Boldin on third-and-12 from the Ravens 25 with just over five minutes left in the opening quarter. Immediately after the breakup, he came up favoring the right leg and headed to the sideline on his own power.
Talib was seen by team doctor Tom Gill before heading down to the Patriots locker room for further examination. Talib was replaced by Kyle Arrington on the next series at cornerback.
The other notable injury was defensive lineman Kyle Love, who left with a knee injury on the Ravens' first drive and was also ruled questionable to return.

The Illinois Department of Transportation will be in attendance to address the Springfield portion of the High-Speed Rail. The meeting will mostly center around the Springfield 3rd Street corridor, which officials say construction will begin there soon.
IDOT's Joe Schacter says it's a three-part strategy, where part one is the 3rd Street corridor. Safety concerns will be the focus of this project.
"We need to have faster travel on 3rd Street for the amount of time 3rd Street is there."
Schacter says 20 grade crossings and three bridges will help make the area safer. The second part of the strategy involves a flyover bridge between the Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern Railway south of town. The third part involves the entire reconstruction of the 10th Street corridor.
The Tuesday meeting is from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Springfield Hilton with a brief presentation at 5:30 p.m. to address concerns and questions on the project.

Wood-Chip Trench Can Staunch Nitrate Flow
• In-depth Product Reviews
Registration is FREE and EASY.
May 2003 Issue of Wine Business Monthly
Underground tile drains are used on about 30 percent of Midwest farms to speed the draining of excess water from cropland and release it into waterways. But rapid draining allows some nitrate to bypass the soil root zone, where plant roots and other natural processes can remove it.Concerns about seepage of nitrate from fertilized cropland has prompted researchers to seek low-cost ways to curb such nutrient loss. They've found that deep trenches filled with wood chips can halt nitrate seepage fro...

The Overall Perspective: Reductionist or Non-reductionist?
The central question addressed in this work is how far the psycholinguistic approach takes us in explaining language. The overall conclusion is that it takes us quite a long way. Of course, this does not mean that the psycholinguistic approach is omnipotent: language cannot be reduced to psychology, in much the same way as phonology cannot be reduced to phonetics. This is because language is more than a psychological phenomenon. All the other facets discussed in Chapter 2 also have a role in this game. Unfortunately, it is not known how far these non-psychological approaches take us, because their impact upon the structure of language has not yet been investigated systematically and comprehensively. We are even more in the dark as to the multifarious interactions that may exist among the various dimensions of language. There are two reasons why relatively little explanatory work has been forthcoming. For one thing, the relevant disciplines have not progressed to the point where a direct and systematic link with language can be established. The paradigm case exemplifying this state of affairs is the neurosciences. For another, researchers in the disciplines in question have been intent on setting themselves off against the philosophy of autonomous linguistics; their attempts to establish their relative independence from formal linguistics have distracted their attention from issues of language structure. Therefore, the results of their research are often not directly transferable to the issues that are of major concern in the present study.
To put this work in a wider perspective, a vision of language and linguistics will be outlined which may serve as a research programme as well as a metatheory. Let us embark upon the following Gedankenexperiment. Suppose all disciplines have advanced to such a stage that it is possible to carry through a large-scale investigation of the impact that all external approaches make upon language structure. The next step would be an examination of the effects that the approaches produce, not in isolation but in combination. After this work has been completed, one would be in a position to reliably assess the contributions of each discipline individually and all disciplines collectively to the explanation of language structure. What might be the outcome of this assessment? Either all these external approaches provide a comprehensive account of language structure or there remains a significant portion of linguistic patterns that cannot be so explained. It goes without saying that there is currently no rational basis for anticipating which alternative will eventually turn out to be the correct one.

South Callaway softball coach David Odneal wants senior pitcher Abby Bartley to remember three definitive words when she's on the mound.
I'm. In. Charge.
She was, indeed, against the Fulton Lady Hornets.
Bartley pitched a complete-game shutout, giving up two hits, striking out eight and walking three in the Lady Bulldogs' 4-0 win over the Lady Hornets on Tuesday night at Fulton's athletic complex.
Still, when asked about her own performance, Bartley preferred to differentiate between the overall effort and the final three outs.
"I thought I did OK today," Bartley said. "… Seventh inning, I don't know, I just got nervous. End of the game, that little 3-4-5 spot (in the Lady Hornets' lineup) made me nervous."

I had been waiting and waiting to check out Watchmen because I love comic book movies even though I was never particularly a fan of comic books growing up. I have almost always enjoyed comic book movies, with the exception of Catwoman and perhaps Daredevil…however, we can now add Watchmen to the list. I didn't even make it more than thirty minutes in to this movie, the characters were dull, lacking that certain something that you expect from comic book heroes brought to life. The story line was lacking and exceedingly slow to pick up…in fact I am not certain that much of a storyline was established even thirty minutes in.
I went in to the movie with the hopes of seeing sexy men in costumes saving the day but what I was unfortunately met with was a group of failing "super heroes" and one complete psychopath who tried ever so hard to make a comic book come to life and instead pushed me out of the door after the first thirty minutes.

I feel I'm in the recovering stage. My mood still goes crazy during hormonal shifts, but since I've been on Seasonique, that's occurring 4 times per year rather than 12-14!In some ways I am doing better than even before I was diagnosed because 1) started a new job where I'm receiving much more respect and support than at my previous job and 2) therapy has really helped me work past a low self image of myself and has improved my assertiveness. I plain like myself more than I have in a decade or more.Still not fully recovered though: I had a bad tailspin last week because of financial worries, but my husband and a few ativan helped me through. (I had gone 19 days without ativan before that which was a tremendous victory. taking it again was difficult but I felt better for it). My major issue right now is severe fatigue issues.....and fatigue leads to being easily overwhelmed. So essentially I need to get the fatigue issues tackled. Actually higher dose prozac had me more energized but I could only tolerate 20 mg due to side effects. So I hope to have a sleep study this fall and go from there.But yes, I am doing much better than I was over this last difficult year. It's been a good summer :)

April 28, 2016
Gov. Beverly Perdue is sending a team of technical experts to North Carolina's jobless benefits agency to find out what led to a mistake that overpaid unemployed workers by $28 million and sent them letters asking for the money back.
Perdue said Monday it was absurd that Employment Security Commission leaders asked tens of thousands of jobless people to return money when it was the agency's error. The commission, Perdue and the federal government worked out a plan late last week so the workers can keep the money.
ESC Chairwoman Lynn Holmes has apologized for the problems and said the agency should have communicated better with the public.
Speaking at a flu season news conference, Perdue wouldn't rule out making leadership changes within the commission.

Accompanying her father on a business trip to Hollywood, the young sleuth (Emma Roberts) investigates the long-unsolved death of a movie star.
Movie Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes®
" "
" A well-written and in many ways pleasing update of a character who has endured in print for 78 years. "
" Crisply put together but just passably amusing, the movie is innocuous, light, and -- obviously -- very, very slight. "
" Feels more like pop Twin Peaks than anything else; call it the new Hollywood sincerity. "
" Fleming's movie doesn't fuss much with originality or storytelling logic but it does play nice from beginning to end, its positive messages bundled up with self-aware humor and empowered feminine pep. "
" In many ways, it's steadfastly adult, a picture that admits, with every frame, a desire to hang on to everything we value about traditional modes of movie storytelling, instead of just trying to figure out what will win big at the box office. "
" It's got a lot of fun energy, and it's got a certain kind of inspired loopiness that I found entertaining. "
" It's one of the few tween movies that isn't in your face; its limpness becomes appealing. "
" The film's and Nancy's nonjudgmental tone gives it a distinctly modern feel. "
" This Nancy Drew, not too sappy and not at all snappy, looks fully prepared for the next instalment. "
" This Nancy is a throwback, but a charming one, and Roberts (Julia Roberts' niece) plays her with an irresistible sweetness. "
" 'Nancy Drew' still has a televisual feel - more 'Murder, She Wrote' than junior 'Marple'. "
" Director Andrew Fleming loses his footing trying to shoehorn Nancy into contemporary times. It's a bad fit, reminiscent of Woody Allen's short story about a professor who whisks Madame Bovary into modern-day Manhattan. "
" Has all the suspense and intrigue of a less-than-groovy episode of Scooby-Doo. "
" I doubt if any female over the age of twelve would get much pleasure from the film. "
" None of the dialogue is particularly pointed, and the supposed Hollywood mean teens seem rather tame. (One of their big pranks involves stealing Nancy's cupcake.) "
" Tedious interpretation of the famous girl detective's adventures. Nancy Drew falls somewhere between The Haunted Mansion and the live-action Scooby Doo movies in terms of quality but is more irritating than either. "
See all Nancy Drew Reviews
Billy Bob Thornton is one of my favorite actors, particularly when he's playing an unrepentant a**hole. Even when he's at his worst -- like in Bad Santa and the recent Bad News Bears remake -- there's something inherently likeable about the guy, an indefinable quality that makes his characters' most revolting flaws seem somehow forgivable. But, as we learned with School for Scoundrels, one evil Billy Bob does not a good comedy make. They still require things like, oh, I don't know, a decent script, perhaps.
Such is the case with the dreadfully unfunny Mr. Woodcock, in which Thornton plays a particularly abrasive gym teacher by the name of -- you guessed it -- Mr. Woodcock. Not such a bad concept. After all, few places embody the painful awkwardness of adolescence than middle school gym class, that brutal realm where a pubescent boy's every physical flaw is held up to the spotlight. It's the perfect stage for acerbic antics of evil Billy Bob, right?
Wrong. I knew Mr. Woodcock was doomed the minute I saw the poster (upper right). You see, good comedies don't need posters with bad visual puns to sell themselves, and Mr. Woodcock's poster eerily resembles that of License to Wed (middle right), another dreadful comedy that came and went in a flash earlier this summer amidst a barrage of negative reviews. Both posters feature their movies' three main characters arranged in a not-so-subtle reference to the human reproductive system -- female for License to Wed, male for Mr. Woodcock.
In the case of Mr. Woodcock, the metaphor is clear: Mr. Woodcock is a d*ck. To his left is Seann William Scott, who plays John Farley, a former student of Woodcock's who managed to survive the daily browbeating to become a world-renowned self-help author. To the right is Susan Sarandon, who plays John's mother Beverly. She happens to be engaged to Woodcock, which is why Seann William Scott is scowling at Thornton.
Mr. Woodcock's first ten minutes, in which evil Billy Bob viciously berates his meek pupils, are intermittently hilarious, but it's all downhill from there. I kept waiting for the moment when the movie would turn the corner, when some of the wickedly funny dark humor of Bad Santa would emerge, but it never did (probably because it's PG-13 -- darn it, why didn't I check beforehand?). The battle between Farley and Woodcock, obviously intended to be the source of most of the comedy, quickly grows stale when it becomes apparent that Scott's character is woefully uninteresting and unrelentingly bland. Gaylord Focker he ain't.

Activities & Attractions
Sunset Point
Sunset Point is located on the western-most tip of Belle Isle. In 2006 the Belle Isle Women's Committee held a groundbreaking to celebrate Phase 1 of the renovation. The project was completed in 2009 and incorporated a new comfort station, additional sidewalks, lighting, landscaping and off-street parking at the site.
James Scott Memorial Fountain
The James Scott Memorial Fountain is located on the western end of the island. Herbert Adams was the sculptor and Cass Gilbert the architect. It was completed in 1923 and dedicated on May 31, 1925. The fountain's circumference is 510 ft., and a series of impressive Vermont White Marble bowls are topped with a receptacle from which water is projected 40 feet into the air. At dusk, the fountain puts on a water and light show from Memorial Day until Labor Day.
James Scott Statue
The James Scott Statue is a large bronze statue on a marble pedestal. His image is seated in a chair looking over the Scott Fountain and towards the downtown Detroit skyline. James Scott was a Detroit real estate speculator and developer. He was said to have been lazy, eccentric, a prankster with few friends or colleagues. Scott's last Will and Testament devoted his fortune to the erection of a fountain on Belle Isle, but demanded that a life-size statue of himself be included.
Belle Isle Casino
The Belle Isle Casino is a two-story Beaux-Arts building designed by architects Van Leyen and Schilling designed to provide views of the Detroit River and Canada. The building opened to the public in 1908. This was not a gambling establishment but rather a key meeting point for individuals and groups on the island and a location for refreshments. The Casino is often erroneously attributed to Albert Kahn's design possibly because construction methods developed by Kahn's brother were used to build it. Today, the Casino is available for rentals for meetings, parties, weddings and special events.
Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory
The Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory was opened in 1904 and was designed by Albert Kahn, modeled after Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. The Conservatory is divided into 5 distinct sections: The Palm House, Tropical House, Showroom, Cactus House and the Fernery. Mrs. Anna Scripps Whitcomb bequeathed her 600-plant orchid collection to the City of Detroit and the Conservatory. In 1955 the Conservatory was dedicated to her. The Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory is open Wednesday through Sunday 10am to 5 pm.
The Aquarium was designed by architect Albert Kahn and was opened on August 18, 1904. Its Beaux Art style entrance decorated with stone facade incorporated two spitting fish and the emblem of Detroit. The aquarium interior had framed cypress tank-lined walls that were filled with fresh and salt-water fish. The water contained in many of these tanks was brought directly from the ocean for the aquarium. The Aquarium closed in 2005, it was the oldest continually-operating aquarium in North America. The Aquarium reopened September 15, 2012 and as of June 5, 2015, it is open Friday - Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Free admission and parking.
The Greenhouses are used by the City of Detroit and the Belle Isle Botanical Society. The Greenhouses are also home to the DPS Golightly AgriScience Program where 10th-12th graders are trained for post-graduation jobs as green's keepers, florists, arborists, nursery owners and related fields.
White House
The White House is the oldest building in the park, built in 1863 by the son-in-law of Barnabas Campau. It is now used as an administration office.
Perry's Victory Cannons
Perry's Victory Cannons are located in front of the Dossin Great Lakes Museum. These were cannons captured by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry from the British at the Battle of Lake Erie, which sealed American victory in the War of 1812. The cannons were originally at the old city hall until it was raised.
Dossin Great Lakes Museum
In 1949, the Detroit Historical Commission opened the City's Maritime Museum aboard the landed wood schooner J.T. Wing, which was the last commercial sailing ship on the Great Lakes. By 1956, the Maritime Museum was closed due to the deteriorating condition of the J.T. Wing. The Dossin family donated a check for $125,000 for a Maritime Marine Museum to be built on Belle Isle. On July 24, 1960, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum opened on the J.T. Wing's former site. Visitor hours are Saturday & Sunday 11am to 4pm.
Athletic Field & Field House
The Field House was built in 1898, designed by Detroit architect Edward A. Schilling. It was originally built as a bicycle pavilion. It is located behind the 36-acre Athletic Field, which has facilities for softball, baseball, football, soccer, rugby and track. Across the street are handball/racquetball courts.
U. S. Coast Guard Station Belle Isle
The U.S. Coast Guard Station was completed in 1942 and formerly known at St. Clair Lifeboat Station. The U.S. Coast Guard operates this facility and rescue station located at the southeastern tip of the island. They patrol the Detroit River from the western edge of lake St. Clair to Point Mouilee in Lake Erie.
Belle Isle Practice Center - Driving Range & Putting Greens
The Belle Isle Practice Center is an outdoor golf facility with a 30 bay full-length driving range, which has a grass tee open. There are also three putting greens, two large chipping greens with four sand traps. The season runs from March through October and is open from 9am till dusk. Spring and fall season opening times are dependent on weather. For more information visit www.belleislepracticecenter.com or call 313-821-5218.
Nature Zoo (Former Nature Center)
The Belle Isle Nature Zoo opened in April, 2005 and was formerly the Nature Center which was built in 1977. A variety of programs are offered including educational programs and the Deer Encounter. Fifteen fallow deer that once roamed the island now enjoy a one-acre enclosure at the Nature Zoo. The Zoo is open daily 10am-5pm 362 days a year – closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. For more information or to check deer feeding times call 313-852-4056.

Beach & Waterslide
The Belle Isle Beach is a half-mile long swimming area and is the only public beach in Detroit!
Giant Slide
The first slide was installed in the 1960's and was replaced with a larger one in 2004 at the cost of $450,000. There is a charge of $1 per ride to the slide.
Kids Kingdom Playscape
This one-half acre playground has swings, tunnels, slides and other play equipment. It is the starting location of a Fitness Jogging Trail for all age groups. The Playscape was built with the aid of the Junior League of Detroit.
Borreal Wetlands Forest
The Borreal Wetlands Forest is a remaining remnant of the old forests that covered the entire area prior to settlement of the Michigan territory. It is Belle Isle's wet-mestic flatwoods and is considered endangered. Some of the species contained in these woods are: Pumpkin Ash, Swamp White Oak, Shumard Oak, Drummond's Dogwood, Shellbark Hickory, Spice Bush, Wahoo, Pin Oak, Chinkapin Oak, Bur Oak, Silver Maple, Shagbark Hickory, Musclewood, Ironwood and Hawthorn. In the spring, you can find White Trout Lilies in bloom.

Contemporary Seattle Residence Uses Bright Green Fiber Cement
Posted By Olivia Chen On June 19, 2009 @ 11:00 am In Architecture,Green Building | 3 Comments
This brightly-colored home [2] designed by Seattle-based Case Architects opened just a week ago, and was featured earlier on Jetson Green [3] this week. The home's most notable characteristic is its use of vibrant green CertainTeed [4] Fiber Cement for exterior siding, however, the home is a host to a slew of other eco-friendly techniques such as a green roof balcony, rainwater collection, and radiant heat flooring. With rather un-conventional looks, the home still contains some cozy-looking interiors that we think just about anyone could feel right at home in this sustainably planned and built residence.
The home includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a large, flexible living space all for $699,000 [5]. The home is located in Columbia City in Washington, just a short distance away from Seattle. At its opening on June 13, the home's interior was beautifully furnished with contemporary furniture to complement its up-beat exterior. We love how airy the home feels without feeling over-exposed — making it seem homey and private. Additionally, a safe living environment was ensured through the home's finishes, including low-toxic paints, bamboo flooring, plyboo [6]stair treads, and paperstone [7] countertops.
Saving the best for last, we think this home is extremely cool because not only can you watch its progress on youtube [8], but it has its own Facebook page [9]!

The Wrong Auto Shows
They tell us more than the big Detroit exhibition.
Once again "Gearbox" has fallen behind. Excuse: There was that presidential election to cover. I know, I should have stuck to cars.
In a previous installment, I promised to write about "auto show winners and losers." That was--yikes!--almost a year ago. We're now in the middle of another auto show season, with big events in Los Angeles and, currently, Detroit. But, hey, why limit ourselves to whatever the manufacturers are hyping this year? Do you care about the Ford Explorer Sport-Trac Concept? Neither do I. The New York Times recently profiled Peter Horbury, who until recently was busy designing Aalto-esque Volvos. Now his "priority," is "to revive Lincoln, Ford's lagging luxury brand." But wait a minute--only five years ago a long-haired Brit named Gerry McGovern was chosen to revive Ford's lagging luxury brand. McGovern's auto show designs were elegant. What was so wrong with them that they now must be trashcanned? Were they too elegant for Lincoln, which now plans to become an "almost luxury" brand? Sometimes you learn more by ignoring today's news.
So come with us now to the thrilling auto shows of yesteryear, handily cataloged by Automobile magazine on this page. By far the best was the wacky Tokyo show of 2003. But they almost all have something to offer--and the rare exotic prototypes from two years ago seem even rarer and more exotic because they're now forgotten. Then we can turn to the current non-excitement in Detroit:
Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione: So what if it's less attractive than Giorgio Giugiaro's 1964 Alfa Canguro. It's sexy, it's red, and it has rear-drive. You can't have too many variations of the '60s coke bottle for me. (Frankfurt show, 2003) ... Better yet, why don't they just put the Canguro into production?
Honda Kiwami: Longer, lower, wider! Haven't heard that in a while. This is the handsomest fuel cell zoomer so far, beating out the Toyota Fine-N and the insane theme-park-ride-like Suzuki Mobile Terrace. (Tokyo, 2003)
Peugeot 407 Elixir--a new design that probably seemed old in about an hour. But very pretty. (Frankfurt, 2003)
Mitsubishi SeRo Concept: You have to love this weird-but-inspired dirigiblish thing. It looks like the Brain-bug from Starship Troopers! (Tokyo, 2003)
Nissan Fuga: I haven't figured out why the production version of the attractive Fuga concept car--the new Infiniti M45--looks so drearily like a Maxima. I think it's that they shortened the nose (or enlarged the cabin). (Tokyo, 2003)
Mitsuoka Orochi: Kids draw cars like this. And I mean that as a compliment. (Tokyo, 2003)
Toyota FJ Cruiser: If only for its beautiful retro-blue color, it's far preferable to the current, pompous, Lexusized Land Cruiser. (Detroit, 2003)
Mercury Messenger: This was a good-looking car! Not only did it not get built, its design themes ("design DNA") never turned up on any other Mercurys. What happened to it? (Detroit, 2003)
Hyundai OLV: Some cars are so ugly that they're not (sort of like Harvey Weinstein!).
BMW 1-Series: Anyone want a four-door that sags? (Paris, 2004)
Renault BeBop: Trying way too hard to be happy. (Frankfurt, 2003)
Audi LeMans Quattro: All the unfortunate disposable-razor styling themes that are now destroying Audi's global design reputation were previewed in this vehicle. (Frankfurt, 2003)
Toyota PM Concept: When you watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers, were you rooting for the pods? Then this is your car. (Tokyo, 2003)
Ford Visos: "It was cold and lacked sex appeal," says Automobile. They're right. Click if you want to know what an electric shaver with wheels looks like. (Frankfurt 2003)
Hyundai HC8 concept: Possibly even more of a hack styling exercise than Toyota's critically derided Scion TC. (Detroit, 2004)
Nissan Jikoo Concept: It's a Japanese heritage thing. I wouldn't understand. (Tokyo, 2003)
Mitsubishi Eclipse Concept E: Why is Mitsubishi currently in a sales death spiral? In part because of hideous creations like this. There's overcapacity in the auto industry, remember. Somebody has to go broke. It might as well be the company building the ugly cars. (Detroit, 2004) ... Update: The production version, unveiled this week, is more palatable. Also duller.

The Saturn Story--Alternate Take: Here are the plot points of the Saturn story thus far, as told by General Motors and swallowed hook, line, and sinker by much of the mainstream press:
1. Roger Smith has the idea for a stand-alone GM division to compete with the imports.
2. The Saturn line "never live[s] up to its glossy promotion"--but its popular no-hassle sales policy enables it to survive. "Somehow we believed that if you got a reputation for wonderful dealer service, then the product didn't matter," as GM vice chairman (and blogger) Bob Lutz puts it.
3. GM is now trying to save the brand by having it market Opel-designed cars.
4. The proposed Sky roadster and Aura sedan are very appealing.

Posted 10 December 2005 - 05:02 AM
My pooter is high ended.Is there a patch or update for this scenery to correct the blurry ground textures.I do not use mega scenery.
For a payware i am not satisfied with it,because i go for quality scenery the best i can get.
I do have most all GeoRender products before the company broke up,and others.
if there is no updates i will probably delete it and absorb the loss,since i bought it at simmarket.com.

Posted 10 December 2005 - 01:32 PM
There could be a (very small) stutter when you approach the area, becasue it needs to read in the photo texture and paint the objects, but after that little hiccup everything should be smooth. It is on my machine.
I think Bob will drop in here to try and help you....
Meanwhile, could you remind me again of your system specs?
Kindest regards,

I am using a Thermaltake Armor Full Tower Case with a PC Power and Cooling 510W Deluxe PS.
I'm running an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum MB with the NForce 3 Ultra Chipset, an AMD Athlon 64, FX-53 CPU at 2.41 GHz, 2 Gig of Corsair XMS memory, 4 Western Digital 160 Gig SATA 7200 rpm drives in a RAID 0 configuration, and a BFG GeForce 6800 GT/OC with 256 Meg of GDDR3. Not that it's important, but I am running Lite-On DVDROM and CDROM and a Plextor CDRW.
The entire system is liquid-cooled by the Thermaltake "Big Cooler" system. I am really concerned about temps, so there are 3 120 MM fans, two in front and one cooling the radiator as well as 2 80 MM in key locations. With all of this, my CPU temp never hits above 40 C under a full load, which for AMD is pretty darn cool! The OC video card hovers around 55 C under a full load. I have no problems with that.
I run a cheap logisys keyboard because the keys illuminate nicely for nightime flying. I run a fairly standard logitech optical scroll mouse. My speakers are Logitech Z5500's which absolutely ROCK the house. (Believe it or not, I am using the onboard sound on the MSI. I'm having better luck with it than I did with the Sound Blaster Audigy that I once had.)
I'm using the CH yoke while I wait for the Go-Flight version to come out. I do have a complete center console built up with an entire compliment of Go-flight modules.
I'm stopping here for specs. Am going to make another post discussing my concerns for the scenery.

Included some screen shots of the Harvey Field area. All but two shots were taken at 3300 ft. The others were taken at 1600 ft.
As you can see, the airport is beautiful, clean and nice. The surrounding area is blurry and awful at any altitude though. Can't get more than about 15 fps while at the airport with lots of stuttering. I have the computer locked at 40 and can normally get 30-35 anywhere else. I don't understand why I'm taking such a hit at Harvey-Monroe and why the immediate surrounding scenery is so blurry and awful.

My system is quite modest compared to all of you, I have an athlon xp 2400, nforce2 chipset mobo, 1gb of ram, ati radeon 9800pro vid.
Performance is smooth.
You'll note my settings are modest. I can certainly cause my system to have performance problems, but that's true independant of Harvey field.
I'm open to suggestion.
How can I help? Should we gather the beta testers and poll them? I addressed all bugs reported during that time, as far as I know.
Bob Bernstein
PS..you posted just as I was. I get bad performance with 100% 3d clouds settings. The max lights brings down my system too. Seems you've made some choices that slow down the system and you're concernced that the system slows down. How I can help?

Thanks for the prompt response!
I'm really not THAT concerned about the stuttering and low fps right now. I sometimes sacrifice performance (not too much mind you, ha!) for lots of effects, nice scenery, etc.
Normally in other areas, (I have more payware sceneries than you can imagine!!) I have beautiful scenery and good performance. I'm honestly not very happy with the quality of Harvey-Monroe when consideration is given to the associated performance hit.
My REAL concern is the blurry areas that I outlined. Can you take a screen shot on your machine of the smae areas that I took screen shots of? I'd like to see how they compare! Thanks!
See example below of great spayware scenery that has good performance also.

Sorry you are unhappy with my work. Its hard to compare my work to others, as there are many ways to design. Its not obvious in the flytampa screeny whether they used photoreal lod13 textures or perhaps just decorated around the default using vtp lines (I'm of course talking about the area away from the detailed airport polygon.) Without appearing to nit-pik the screeny you show, but the transition from airport to ground polygons does look quite rough compared to mine, which I would associate to the design approach being vtp lines and polygons and landclass update vs photo imagry.
I prefer using photoimagry, but some designers prefer against it to improve performance. Its a tradeoff.
My structures all have multiple model LODs to optimize performance. My photoreal was created per the SDK guidelines.
Do you have other photoreal that works better? Do you have any megascenery? Can you reduce your settings and find a compromise that works far better without sacrificing noticeably?
I would like very much to find a way for you to enjoy Harvey-Monroe. I'll keep thinking about it.
- 0
Posted 18 December 2005 - 05:22 AM
George, this topic above (in the emma field folder) is all about a different user upset with blurring in megascenery. Megascenery used the same design techique I used, (and even used the same imagry as I did, thou I like my photoediting and autogen better!). Perhaps that thread will shed light on the subject.
I'll review it myself.

- lock frames to 20 - 22, no need for more,
- try different drivers (for graphics), newest are not always the best,
- un-check, on the aircraft tab, "Aircraft casts shadows" - I found the largest performance boost with this one.
Good luck

I am flying in from New Orleans just for the NE game (don't tell my relatives in Northwest Iowa, they think I am going to see them!). I need 4 tix to the game. I know the tix don't go on sale until 6 SEP but want to get this on the board. Also, I did look at stubhub and am considering buying from them if I get left out on 6SEP. But the price is about the same as buying hillside season tix. I guess I would rather support ISU by buying season tix even if I will only go to one game this season (if the price is about the same). Any thoughts?

Also use a black liquid leather dye on the rims,spokes and engine to give it a real metal look. Just apply and wipe off then buff a little with a toothbrush or something similar.

My daughter is almost 10. When should I start talking to her about drugs (by name)?
My daughter?s elementary school sent home a permission slip asking if she could take part in a survey about drugs. At first I was fine with it, but then I started reading through the sample questions. It listed very specific drugs. She knows to "say no to drugs" and she knows what alcohol is, but the specifics?...no. So, I decided not to let her take part in the survey because I wanted to sit down with her and go over all of this myself, but since they needed the permission slip back the next day, it wasn't going to happen. She knows about sex and she knows about talking to strangers (we've discussed both at length). This is the only subject we haven't tackled in detail. She is my oldest where most of her friends are the youngest in their family. I don't want them schooling her, but how much detail should I go into? Thanks!

I would perhaps use the survey too and explain. She might be curious to know if some of her friends in class take it. Better it comes from you than her peers.posted 07/27/2011 by rsrinima1
I don't know how much detail you should go into, but I would definitely talk to her about it. You could use the survery as a guideline, maybe let her go over it and see if she understands any of it or is curious. And the more real you are with her the better. You will probably be surprised about what all she knows already. I applaude you for talking with her about sex so talking about drugs shouldn't be any different. Kids are doing that younger and younger.posted 10/28/2010 by MrsKimmy
In my opinion, there is not right or wrong way to talk to your kid about drugs, the only wrong way is not talking to them at all. As long as you are open an honest, and allow her to ask questions in a safe enviroment where she wont be afraid I think you'll do fine. My advice would be to let her curiosity guide the discussion. Explain a few basic points to her, let her ask you questions and answer them honestly, don't bull sh@# her because she's ten. You don't need to go in to specifics if she doesn't ask about them. Just let her know if she ever has questions that you will never judge her and she can always come to you if she is curious.posted 04/11/2012 by MommyMartinez1018
Thank you!posted 04/06/2011 by Heather297
Those surveys are intended to determine how much kids really know about drugs (they have 'fake' info in them to distinguish between pple telling the truth & lying/exaggerating), how many are using, & what the perception is about how many are using. (I know , I have to adminster the survery every couple years to my classes) At her age I wouldnt go into specifics initially. I would talk in general about drugs. How some are pills, some poswers, some smoked, inhaled, etc and the different kinds (downers vs uppers) and why they are dangerous (stop breathing/ heart probs/ addiction) Keep it relly vague and general. And bring it up every so often after that--maybe when somethign hits the news or on a TV show. This will keep communication open between you. As to when to get more specific-most kids will start asking questions when things get brought up-their questions grow more specific & that's when you know she needs & is ready for more speciific information. hope ths helps!posted 10/28/2010 by JenniferAnne1976

With the election looming, George W is back to claiming that he's a "compassionate conservative" and as evidence he cites his centerpiece education law, the No Child Left Behind Act.
This is supposed to be a "tough love" reform, compelling all public school kids to pass standardized tests. If the kids fail the federal government's strict tests, they'll be held back, and their schools can lose federal funding and be replaced by corporate-run chain schools.
But instead of tough love, Bush's law actually is a "tough luck" scam, for he has callously refused to fund the reform part. To get congress to approve the law he had agreed to put up tax dollars for smaller classes, special teachers, tutors, educational equipment, and other resources needed for schools to improve the ability of our kids to learn and pass Bush's tests.
He reneged. In this year's presidential budget proposal, George shorts his own No Child Left Behind reform by nine billion bucks! That's on top of $17 billion he withheld in his previous two budgets. In fact, this spring, Bush offered more of our tax dollars in the form a bribe to try to get the government of Turkey to send some troops to Iraq than he has offered to America's school districts to implement his federally-mandated education laws.
By so severely shortchanging our public schools, the Bushites can advance their ideological agenda of school privatization. As more and more schools lack the resources to achieve the passing rates required on the mandated tests, a little-known provision in George's law will kick in one that encourages states to privatize schools that fail his testing system.
This is Jim Hightower saying... Lest you assume that private schools will be better thus more compassionate recent data from Bush's own education department now reveals that children in such schools are doing worse academically than are those in our public system. George's "reform" is not about compassion, it's about profits.
