Neighborhood Highlights
Must-See Coney Island
by nycgo.com staff, 05/13/2014 [Updated 05/20/2015]
Coney Island—New York City's legendary amusement district—is not a theme park. Six Flags Great Adventure and Disneyland are nice places to spend some time, but they are gated, hermetically sealed worlds that cut visitors off from reality. This is something different: a seaside playground that's also a real-life NYC neighborhood. Its appeal comes not from a single source but from the combined force of its many individual attractions. On a bright summer day, no place feels more electric.
It starts with the awesome wooden Cyclone roller coaster (complete with what may be the most terrifying first drop in the universe), which remains the area's centerpiece after more than 85 years. In recent years, the folks behind the revived Luna Park have taken over management of the Cyclone and added such thrill rides as a human slingshot (we're not first in line for that one…but it's there!) and, as a rival to the Cyclone, the reinvented Thunderbolt, a 2014 addition that pays homage to another coaster built in the 1920s. The carnival atmosphere wouldn't be complete without Sideshows by the Seashore, an outrageous cavalcade of curiosities headlined by stars with colorful names like the Black Scorpion. For those with simpler tastes in summer fun, a dip in the ocean might suffice; the beach is right off the boardwalk. Other essential Coney Island attractions include Cyclones baseball at MCU Park, the New York Aquarium and the original Nathan's Famous, home of the world's most renowned eating competition: the Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. Russian enclave Brighton Beach is just a few wooden planks away, and you can fuel your foot-powered journey there with some clams, funnel cake or other seaside specialties from vendors along the boardwalk.
It's an understatement to say that Coney Island has faced its share of challenges over the years. But the longtime business owners there, many of whom have had a stake in the area for decades, plan on sticking around for a long while. "Coney Island's been around since the late 1800s," says Michael Sarrel, an owner of Ruby's Bar & Grill, "and we want to make sure it stays around until the late 2100s."
Read on for details about our favorite things to see and do.

Glendale, AZ (Sports Network) - Ryan Court hit a tie-breaking two-run single

Rôtisserie Georgette
14 E. 60th St., 212-390-8060, Upper East Side, Manhattan
At the base of a handsome Beaux-Arts building and just around the corner from Barneys New York is Rôtisserie Georgette, which feels exactly right for the neighborhood. The people here are not Yelpers—they're more inclined to conversation than staring at cell phones, exhibiting the sort of fashion sense that perks up the antennae of photographer Bill Cunningham. Proprietor Georgette Farkas is elegant herself, gliding through the dining room with the grace of a ballet dancer, conversant in French and fine cuisine from her many years as Daniel Boulud's director of communications. The venue features French cuisine, with most main plates cooked on the accoutrement that gives the place its name. The silver has heft and the checks are presented on pewter trays, yet the restaurant feels more informal than fancy. Tables are not shrouded in linen, and a semi-open kitchen displays the rotisserie where poultry and meat are spun to perfection. Terracotta-hued wallpaper and blue Portuguese tiles warm up the high-ceilinged space, a classic built to last rather than to follow any trend.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Are Real Housewives' Lisa Vanderpump and Adrienne Maloof Still Feuding After Season 3?
Because of the time that passes between the filming and the airing of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the ladies' friendships have a tendency to repair themselves or disintegrate off camera. One relationship that hasn't gotten back on track is the one between Lisa Vanderpump and Adrienne Maloof.
The strain started last season. During the Season 2 reunion, Adrienne accused Lisa of leaking stories to various publications. Lisa denied this and thought her former friend overreacted to the "Maloof Hoof" nickname she'd given to Adrienne's shoes.
The pair kept their interactions cordial after having a sit down in Season 3, but Brandi Glanville's accusations about Adrienne's family seem to be dividing the group once again. Lisa tells In Touch that any friendliness that we may have seen between herself and Adrienne is no longer there.
"I haven't talked to Adrienne," says Lisa. "She's not a part of my life or my reality right now. When someone tries to humiliate you publicly, you deserve a public apology, and I haven't gotten that."
Translation: Expect more fireworks at the Season 3 reunion.

Missouri DUI or DWI
In Missouri, driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) are serious criminal charges. Drunk driving puts people in harm's way and risks loss of property, limb, and even life. Lasting adverse impacts on jobs, insurance, education, and personal freedoms can likely result. Jail, convictions, fines, suspensions, and revocations of driving privileges may likewise happen. So, whether you are a first-time or multiple offender, the potential for a drunk driving conviction in Missouri should not be taken lightly. Instead, it is prudent to act swiftly and build a strong defense with the help and skills of a locally based DUI lawyer.
What Are Field Sobriety Tests?
Police assess and evaluate your speech, smell your breath, watch your eye movements, and evaluate your coordination, balance, and dexterity to determine if you have consumed any alcohol. The point of police questioning and testing in roadside field sobriety tests is to establish the requisite probable cause to arrest you. The tests you are asked to perform are usually one or more of the following:
- Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test
- Walk and Turn test
- One Leg Stand test
In conducting these field sobriety tests, the officer is trying to learn if alcohol has impacted your faculties and ability to drive.
Why Hire a General Practitioner Instead of a DUI Attorney?
Missouri DUI law is a special area of criminal defense practice. The practice entails complicated legal issues; scientific principles relating to field sobriety tests conducted by police; comprehension of police breathalyzer equipment and devices; flaws associated with the technology and equipment; alcohol's impacts on the body; its effect on a driver's ability to operate a car; and the science and medicine behind absorption, digestion, and elimination of alcohol in the body. A DWI defendant gambles his or her future and case by hiring a general practitioner who may only dabble in the field, rather than routinely practice deeply in its sophisticated nuances.
Contact a Local Missouri DWI Lawyer Today
Local Missouri DUI attorneys know how to build persuasive defenses for clients charged with serious drunk driving offenses. When it counts, seasoned attorneys can expose and highlight flaws and weaknesses in police testing equipment, conditions, and methods to defend your privileges to drive, your personal records, and liberties, such as when a DWI conviction may loom. Call now to speak with a local Missouri DUI attorney at 877-913-7222.

In my research for a light weight pack I've narrowed it down to two...of those two I'd value any feedback on these choices.
1) Wilderness Pack Specialties, Bighorn Frame Combo with the additional Pelican Pack.
2) Blacks Creek G11 Series.
Both weigh in about the same...but I'm liking the detachable fanny pack feature on the Blacks Creek.
My thanks in advance.

My buddy and I had 3 sets of Nikon binos with us, and a Leupold compact spotting scope. The binos all sucked. We could make out the antelope and which ones were bucks and does. But we just couldn't get a crisp clear picture of the animals. I have been researching binos and I'm still lost on what to get. What power binos do I need out west and whats some good mid range models? I can't spend $2K on binos yet but could do $400 or $500. So I am asking you experts what I need to look at. Thank you for any help

Insider's Guide to the Gorge
Adventure in the Gorge
From kiteboarding to climbing, these classes introduce you to adventure.
kitethegorge.com; intro lesson $85, follow-up session $285
The gusty Gorge's status as a kiteboarding capital provides many inspiring/terrifying scenes of 'boarders sailing above the Columbia. An intensive, but approachable, introduction to this lofty sport comes from Kite the Gorge: two companion classes take rookies from gravity-bound to airborne in mere hours. A 90-minute session covers basic equipment and safety. According to owner Carlos Cornieles, most students follow up with three hours in the water. "They go straight into applying what they learned," he says. Excelsior!
bigwinds.com; from $180
The windsurfing sail vies with the dam and the wind turbine as a symbol of the modern Gorge. Get in on the blustery Zeitgeist with introductory classes from longtime Hood River shop Big Winds. Three two-hour classes (each followed by a one-hour practice) transforms landlubbers into wave-dominators.
gorgekayaker.com; from $48?
Kayaking can go Jekyll or Hyde: a serene meditation or a world-rocking extreme plunge. Columbia Gorge Kayak School plays it both ways. The outfit's recreational flatwater tours on the Columbia suit families with kids, mellow sightseers, or first-time paddlers. "Pretty much anyone can do one," says owner Todd Anderson. For the more adventurous, a two-day "weekender" course starts with a pool tutorial but advances to white water on Washington's raucous Klickitat River.
teenoutdooradventure.com; from $1,750?
Brand new this year, Columbia Gorge Teen Adventure Camps introduce young adrenaline junkies to the Gorge's endless fixes with one- to two-week camps in everything from climbing to stand-up paddling. Open to kids between 14 and 17, the camps feature instruction from some of the best in the business (climbing campers, for example, will learn from legendary Lynn Hill and Beth Rodden), while serving up an all-you-can-eat buffet of adventure.
epicmtbtours.com; prices vary
The typical riverside view only hints at the Gorge's hinterland splendors. Delve deeper with Epic MTB Tours, which offers two-wheeled explorations of the landscape's trails and mountaintops. From "quick and dirty" half-day outings to customized multiday adventures (and alluring-sounding specialty trips with "Bike/Yoga" and, even better, "Bike/Beer" themes), Epic can handle a wide range of experience and ambition levels.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Gasoline prices in Virginia remained flat over the last week.
AAA Mid-Atlantic reports that the average price of a gallon of unleaded gas in Virginia last week was $3.36. That's well below the national average of $3.54 but the same as the state average for the previous week.
A year ago, Virginians were paying on average 24 cents per gallon more.
Last week's regional averages were $3.23 in Roanoke, $3.24 in Charlottesville, $3.33 in Richmond and $3.41 in Norfolk.

|Bowling lanes to be replaced by parking spaces
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Construction crews spent much of the morning Monday, April 22 tearing down what used to be a bowling alley located in the 200 block of South Campbell Avenue. The site will soon be transformed into a new parking facility that will house vehicles for the sheriff's office and maintenance equipment for Phillips County. A portion of the property will also be leveled and used for overflow parking needed on court days.

Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)
Exorcist: The Beginning SynopsisGene Wilder has been dug up and is doing an opening monologue in the trailer for The Exorcist (why have I never noticed this resemblance when watching the Exorcist?). Even the devil isnt as scary as the disembodied voice of Gene Wilder. What if he comes back in his Willy Wonka outfit and starts singing that creepy ass Wonka song? Holy hell! Thatll make one terrifying devil movie.
Sadly, its unlikely theyll be able to fully resurrect Wilder. No doubt well have to settle for another Exorcist filled with that guy they call Satan. Hes that devilish fellow from the other Exorcist movies who has a fetish for power vomiting. Well hes back, and this time theyre telling the story from the beginning.
The trailer is slick and slightly scary. The production values look EXCELLENT which usually isnt a good sign for horror movies. The more expensive the blood, the less scary the flick.
Still, this is a movie about the devil and hes a pretty scary guy. Im holding out for the new Versus movie whichll pit him against Jim Caviezel, but till then perhaps Exorcist: The Beginning will suffice.

Looks interesting, looking forward to see how it progress Though I'm not keen of the realistic photo border.
Hey there guys, so starting a new style of map, moments of the War between 2 kingdoms. They are still unnamed, but my mission here is to develop a strong background for the conflict, heralds, historic figures and the army composition. Much thing can still change, but Im already liking this new style for me!
Any feedbacks are more than welcome!
Looks interesting, looking forward to see how it progress Though I'm not keen of the realistic photo border.
Looks pretty great so far! Got to agree with Max r.e. the border though. What about running it through a posterize filter or something to take away the photo-look?
yeah the borders are my weakness...it was actually a test, but the posterize filter didnt work too well :/
Did you look for a specific style of border for this map?
I agree with Max and Diamond, and would also point out that the neat-line borders don't quite fit either. Perhaps you could play around with the layer modes so that the white and black areas blend in a bit better. Otherwise this looks very nice.
Just get rid of this one and let it rest until you find the proper idea/ressource/drawing inspiration to make the right one
I like the look of this map! I concur with the border thing as well although, the design itself is pretty nice. The dirt on the map is a nice touch. It will definitely makes it feel more like a real map!
Indeed, the Borders looking crap on your map. You should try to paint your own pattern and create a Border from it.

The Economics program supports research designed to improve the understanding of the processes and institutions of the U.S. economy and of the world system of which it is a part. This program also strengthens both empirical and theoretical economic analysis as well as the methods for rigorous research on economic behavior. It supports research in almost every area of economics, including econometrics, economic history, environmental economics, finance, industrial organization, international economics, labor economics, macroeconomics, mathematical economics, and public finance.
The Economics program welcomes proposals for individual or multi-investigator research projects, doctoral dissertation improvement awards, conferences, workshops, symposia, experimental research, data collection and dissemination, computer equipment and other instrumentation, and research experience for undergraduates. The program places a high priority on interdisciplinary research. Investigators are encouraged to submit proposals of joint interest to the Economics Program and other NSF programs and NSF initiative areas. The program places a high priority on broadening participation and encourages proposals from junior faculty, women, other underrepresented minorities, Research Undergraduate Institutions, and EPSCoR states.
The program also funds conferences and interdisciplinary research that strengthens links among economics and the other social and behavioral sciences as well as mathematics and statistics.
The Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants funding opportunity is designed to improve the quality of dissertation research. DDRIG awards provide funds for items not normally available through the student's university such as enabling doctoral students to undertake significant data-gathering projects and to conduct field research in settings away from their campus. DDRIGs do not provide cost-of-living or other stipends or tuition. Outstanding DDRIG proposals specify how the knowledge to be created advances economics science.
Proposals for Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (DDRIGS) in Economics should follow the directions for submissions in the Grant Proposal Guide (GPG). The following bulleted items provide addititional guidance concerning DDRIGs in Economics:

May 30, 2016
Christians around the world observed Ash Wednesday.
Worshippers gathered at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Meridian.
The symbol of the cross placed in ash on the forehead is a reminder of one's need for God.
Lent is a season of prayer and penance. Church leaders say the ceremony is a way of remembering their need for forgiveness from their sins.
"Because all of us are called to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ," said Father Frank Cosgrove, leader of Meridian's Catholic community. "And we do that in two ways. By turning away from sin and turning toward God as we put it (the cross) on your forehead. And that's part of the prayer with the ashes, as we put it on your forehead today. The form is 'turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel'."
During Lent, believers are encouraged to give up something important to them or to add a positive activity to deepen their spiritual life.

A petition to amend the Nevada constitution to require the teaching of the "strengths and weaknesses" of evolution was filed with the secretary of state's office on February 24, 2006. The "Truth in Science" initiative calls for students to be informed that "although most scientists agree that Darwin's theory of evolution is well supported, a small minority of scientists do not agree," listing five specific "areas of disagreement" to be discussed.

Secretary of State Jason Kander has issued an Investor Alert advising Missourians to be wary of investment schemes promising unusual or excessive returns.
"If an investment offers guaranteed above-market returns with no risk, or if you cannot tell how the investment makes money, you should avoid investing," Kander said. "Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
High-yield investments are typically offered through websites, social media platforms or in person. Those attempting to sell these investments offer high, unsustainable rates of return—more than one percent per day and as high as 100 percent per day—through vague or murky trading strategies that often include the promise of safety.
"It remains true today that there is no free lunch," Kander said. "If an investment offers a very high profit and claims no risk, there is a good chance it is a fraudulent scheme, a riskier investment, or an investment that will be difficult to sell if it doesn't work out."
Additionally, Kander provided the following signs for detecting an investment as fraud:
1) High, Unsustainable Yields: Many High-Yield Investment scams purport to offer excessively high rates of return, often in a short time frame. Corporate bonds with an A rating offer an average yield of 2.89% and 4.17% over 10- and 20-year time frames.
2) Off-shore accounts: Avoid any investment offering that requires you to deposit or wire money to a foreign-based account.
3) Recruiting Incentives: Avoid investment schemes with promises of higher returns or the prospect of a "referral bonus".
4) Unclear Methods: Avoid making any investment that cannot provide concrete information about the company, dealer, product, service or how the investment will be used. Further, you should always ask for a prospectus.
5) Typos and Grammatical Mistakes: When researching an investment opportunity, be wary of documents, website and e-mail copy with excessive typos or poor grammar.
"Before you invest, be sure to call the Investor Protection Hotline to ensure the person making the offer is registered in Missouri," Kander said. "Don't hesitate to contact us when something sounds too good to be true or if you feel you've become the victim of an investment scheme."
Call the Investor Protection Hotline at 1-800-721-7996 or visit www.MissouriSafeSavings.com for more information.

I've known folks who made a million a yr and are too broke to hunt and I've known folks who make <$100k who can spend $20k on hunts every year b/c they live like they don't have a dime to their name. Last yr with no Western tag purchased our expenses were 4.5% of our net household income....and that would be spent whether we actually hunted or not.

I have a user who just purchased a Motorola Droid Bionic. He was able to go through the procedure for configuring a MS Exchange (Activesync) account and the sync went fine for his email, calendar, and contacts. The only issue is that he can't send outgoing email from the device.
Anyone run into the same issue and if so, has anyone found a solution other than installing Touchdown or some other third party app?

Hello again,
After many weeks of research, Ive come down to these two.
I tried minoxidil but the side effects did not seem normal for me and didnt get better, so I went off it. Im too afraid to use finasteride because the side effects and my doctor advised against it. I just started with nizoral 1%.
I have mild alopecia, didnt even notice it till a few months ago. Anyway ive been to a few hair loss clinics and they give me the usual speil about how their products have no side effects and competitors dont work, I just think theyre all peddling the same things, for ridiculous prices.
Anyway, I dont want to pay some middle-man $2000 for what looks exactly like revivogen and leimo, off the shelf.
The cost does not concern me, I just want to know if these actually work. You cant trust the testimonials on their websites, Im just looking for *some* real, positive honest reviews of these products.
the leimo is about 2x the cost of revivogen for one year, but it comes with the laser comb. I'm aware that I'm probably being sold a $10 laser for $800, but ill pay it if it actually does work to an extent, I dont want to just do nothing anymore, but i wont pay the ridiculous sums that these hair clinics want, for shampoos and laser treatment.
So um, any reviews of these products would help me greatly... I think these are the only option I will go with as I narrow down the list.
Oh also, rather important to me. Im concerned about the actual action of these supposed DHT inhibitor shampoos. From what I understand, its the dht total destruction by finasteride, which makes it potentially damaging. so isnt using shampoos which claim to have the same action, albeit far less potent, a risk of similar side effects over time? How can one method reduce dht with side effects, while another can somehow do so, with no side effects?

May 29, 2016
DENVER (AP) -- A storm that has dumped more than a foot of snow in the Rocky Mountains is heading east and is forecast to bring the first major winter storm of the season to the central Plains and Midwest.
The snow arrived in Denver before dawn on Wednesday and moved out across the Colorado plains, where wind gusts of up to 40 mph will blow the snow around, creating zero visibility at times.
From there the storm is expected to move across Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa and then Wisconsin and Michigan. Blizzard conditions are also expected in some of those states.
Meanwhile, a new storm system that has moved into the Pacific Northwest is expected to bring up to 2 feet of snow in the Cascade Mountains.

1955 Chevy Bel Air Wagon
Paul Pack Sr., Ceresco, NE
Paul Pack Jr. has a great story to share about his father and his '55 Chevy Bel Air wagon, so we thought we'd let him tell it: "My dad was in a hunting accident at a young age. He has had three total hip replacements, the first back in the 1960s when they replaced bone with a steel ball and spike. Today, he is rocking a carbon-fiber hip ball. I tell you this because I watched him powershift his '55 Bel Air wagon at age 70." Paul's dad has had his share of cool cars over the years, including a Shelby Cobra, almost every year of Corvette in the 1960s, and a beloved '56 Thunderbird dubbed "Vegas." Those were mostly what Paul dubs "fast cruisers." They were fun, but not the adrenaline rush his father craved. Then, about a month before he sent us this letter, Paul's dad told him about a buddy who had something special for sale. It was a '55 Bel-Air Handyman wagon that had been restored just right with a 383 stroker small-block Chevy in the engine bay, and mated to a four-speed Hurst shifter with the pool cue shifter knob. Just right for scratching power shifts up and down the road! Paul says the Cragar SS wheels make the newly dubbed "Las Vegas" wagon a timeless thing to drive and look at.
1973 Pontiac Grand Prix
Sue Moore, Yardley, PA
Between the years of 1975 and 1999, Sue Moore drove her '73 Pontiac Grand Prix daily. She literally drove it into the ground. So thoroughly used up was her beloved J-body that by 2005 her only recourse was to sell it for scrap metal and have it crushed. She even took photos of the automotive euthanasia to remind her of the great times spent in her personal luxury coupe. A premonition, however, did tell her to save all the good parts, like the engine and trans. A few years later, that decision would prove a prescient one, as she found another '73 Grand Prix on eBay just like her old one, with the same color and options—and it was located in the same town her cousin lived in. Sue checked it out, and discovered that it showed no signs of terminal rust. She and her husband, Mike, brought the car home, and began restoring it with a level of enthusiasm that only a prior owner could lavish. Fortunately, they had a basement full of transplant parts from Sue's previous '73 Grand Prix, all of which go a long way to making it a clone of the original. Now, of course, Sue keeps it indoors and uses it only on beautiful days—no way is she subjecting her new GP to the same bad weather and road salt of her last one!

I need to totally rewrite this to handle the change to how shadows are handled. I've edited some of the lines but there may be references still in there.
Tutorial One - Creating Brushes
1.) Open a new document in your favourite raster paint program.
Doesn't really matter what size - the program will shrink your brushes to a usable size - but obviously be aware that the larger you make your brushes the greater the filesize and also the more detail will be lost when they are shrunk right down.
2.) On a new layer, draw the outline of a tree in a dark colour. You don't have to use the pencil tool but don't make the edges too soft at this point. Make this the largest brush you intend to have.
The program will work better if all brushes are roughly the same width and height, but a small amount of variation won't kill it - the program works from the largest brush so any that are smaller mmay have more space around it when placed.
If you are pressed for time or just a rebel and don't intend to make a mask to go with the tree, make sure you colour in the foliage of the tree so the program knows where to clip. It doesn't have to be opaque but needs to be above a cerain opacity (which is quite low... maybe 10% or something) so the program doesn't just ignore it.
Any other tree brush that you make for the same set, position the base of the trunk in the same position.
3.) With the largest tree being displayed, crop down your image so that any excess space is removed from the brushes.
My image size for the Vaniyan shaded brushes after cropping is 100 x 119 px.
4.) Copy the tree outline to a new layer and colour in the foliage to make your mask. Use a sharpen filter to remove some of any softness around the edge.
I colour my masks white but it isn't essential - the colour is unimportant. The sharper edge on the mask makes for more precise clipping when one tree is overlaid over another. The mask layer of a forest is also useful if you want to layer a colour beneath the forest on your map or put a stroke around the edges for a bold statement.
5.) If you took my "don't make the edges too soft" instruction when drawing the tree outline too literally, then feel free to soften it a little now with a small blur.
6.) On a new layer, shade the same side of the tree as your shadow will fall.
7.) On another new layer, shade the other side of the tree.
8.) Open a new document and draw a shadow for your tree. Crop it so that there is no unneeded space around the shadow. You don't need a shadow brush if you don't want but if you do you can draw as many different ones as you like.
9.) Save all your layers individually to .png files:
- Shadow brush filenames need to begin with "shadow". E.g. "Shadow1.png" (you can ignore capitalisation on all the filename instructions)
- Tree brush filenames need to begin with "tree". E.g. "Tree1.png"
- Mask brushes need to begin with "mask". E.g. "Mask.png" Make sure you name any mask files correctly though if your forest has more than one tree. An incorrectly named mask could assign it to the wrong tree and create odd clipping in the forest.
- Shade brushes are the most awkward to name:
- First shade brush - same side as your shadow) If your forest only has only one tree brush (like the TreeThing defult brush set) or your shade brush can be used for all trees you can simply make sure your shade brush file begins with "shade" E.g. "Shade1.png"
- If your forest has multiple trees of varying shapes then each shade needs to be assigned to the right tree brush. Do this by including the name of the tree in the filename and following it with an underscore character "_" E.g. "Shade1Tree1_.png" (The underscore is a bit of a speed method to save me having to put more filename parsing in. You can safely miss this off if you have less than 10 tree brushes. Any more and placement errors will occur without it.)
- Second brush - opposite side to shadow) The second shade brush needs to be named in the same way as the first but have either "_r", "rev", "reverse", "reversed" at the end of the filename. Note the underscore if you simply use the letter "r" (in case someone uses some odd file naming system and the program mistakes the end of a word and thinks it is reversed) E.g. "shade1_r.png" or "shade1_tree1_rev.png" or even "shade10Tree10_thisnamestillcountsalthoughitisoddre verse.png"
And that's it. You can add as many shade brushes as you like to a single tree. Same with shadows. You don't have to shade both sides of the tree if you don't want (although that will stop you shifting the light source effectively) You don't need to actually have anything other than a single tree brush to use the program. No shading needed. No shadow. No mask. But the forests generated will be much more effective with them.

Thompkins, Cunningham, Cole, Fortson, Winn, Grissom, Ballard, Rivera & Stankevich would all make it before Tebow, IMO.

Recently we teamed up with Leanna Decker, one of the internet's rapidly rising stars, for an NBA themed shoot featured in the second issue of RSVLTS Magazine.

John Carter Cost Even More Money To Make Than We Thought
John Carter actually cost Disney even more money to make than was originally thought. The box-office bomb, which only took in $284 million when it was released back in 2012, was thought to have cost the studio $250 million to make. But the final sum has now been revealed to be a ridiculous amount.

Wait, John Carter 2 Might Actually Happen?
Nowadays, the name "John Carter" is synonymous with "flop" in Hollywood. Behind-the-scenes problems led to a ballooned budget of $250 million, and when it was released in March 2012 it only managed to make $73 million at the domestic box office. But that failure doesn't mean that the titular hero's time on the big screen is finished.

6 Reasons Disney Needs To Resurrect The John Carter Franchise

The 10 Most Disappointing Movies Of 2012
Looking back a year full of movies you have to remember the bad with the good. We can celebrate the best of the best and express our love and appreciation for them, but for the sake of balance its important to look back at the ones that we expected more from the ones that didnt deliver on expectations or hopes. These are the titles we see in theaters and leave saying, Man, I wish that was better.

Director Andrew Stanton Opens Up About John Carter's Failure
The failure of John Carter understandably killed any chance for the sequel Stanton had planned, but he still believes in the movie he made and hopes this won't be the last we hear of the ambitious feature. In fact, he has hope the film will find its following eventually, like Blade Runner and The Wizard of Oz did.

The Avengers Actually Gave A Boost To John Carter At The Box Office
There is some kind of harmony between The Avengers and John Carter. For example, it's kind of funny that the opening weekend domestic box office numbers for The Avengers, $200 million+, was exactly the total thatJohn Carter ended up losing Disney due to production costs and marketing materials. But now another connection has been made between the two movies as ticket sales of one are raising the profile of the other.

John Carter Conquers The Red Planet On Blu-Ray This June

Disney Will Lose $200 Million On John Carter

John Carter Sequel Campaign Launches On Facebook
I didn't get the chance to see John Carter until the midnight last Thursday, but walking out of the theater I found myself immensely perplexed. Everything that I read about the movie painted it as an overblown, convoluted mess, but I had a blast watching it and couldn't help but marvel at its scope. I would personally love to see Disney make a sequel to the movie, but the truth is that the first simply cost way too much money...

John Carter In Context: How Does It Compare To Other So-Called Flops?
To me, John Carter is a creative failure, and there is plenty of blame to be tossed around about why it wasn't a triumph on the level of Andrew Stanton's previous two films Wall-E and Finding Nemo. But obsessing over its box office and trying to turn it into a historic failure is just wrong

Weekend Box Office: Lorax Cuts A Limp John Carter Down To Size
John Carter has been hyped and re-hyped for months, including recent promotionals touting it as the first major blockbuster of the year. Turns out it isn't even in the top four biggest openings of the year so far.

John Carter Beats The Lorax At Friday Box Office, But It Won't Hold
The audience for John Carter is skewing a good bit older, with nearly 70% of the audience over the age of 25-- the reverse of what usually happens when you've got a big tentpole 3D film that crams in the teenage male audiences. We're still trying to sort out exactly what happened with John Carter to make audiences so uninterested-- you can join the conversation about that

Operation Kino #53: The Messy And Maybe Great John Carter, And Mourning Real Action Movies
This week on Operation Kino, we're hopping on an airship with our pet alien Woola and taking a trip to Barsoom, otherwise known as Mars. Yes, it's finally time for us to review John Carter, the new outer-space epic from Disney that has been making more headlines for its giant budget than anything else

Interview: Taylor Kitsch On Why He Put Himself Through Hell For John Carter
It's kind of obvious to say it's fun to talk to Kitsch in person-- he's easy on the eyes, after all-- but in both our longer sit-down interview and the short video conversation, it was surprisingly fun and easy to strike up a conversation. He had just flown in from the South Pacific, where he was doing advance press for Battleship and shooting one last scene for the Oliver Stone drama Savages

John Carter Opens Weak At Midnight: Why Aren't You Going To See It?

To 3D Or Not To 3D: Buy The Right John Carter Ticket
John Carter is an expensive, hugely advertised and CGI-heavy adventure film, and these days that pretty much guarantees it will be shown in 3D. Though the movie wasn't shot in 3D, everything else in the movie is so cutting-edge that Disney is promising the best post-conversion 3D experience you can get on this one too

Interview: Willem Dafoe On Becoming A Giant Green Alien In John Carter
Dafoe's work on John Carter was much more involved than the last time he worked with director Andrew Stanton, voicing a fish for Finding Nemo. Dafoe traveled to the Utah desert and filmed his scenes in giant stilts to play Tars Tarkas-- he describes one of the most difficult physical challenges of the film as a simple scene where Tars Tarkas goes from lying down to standing

This Rotten Week: Predicting John Carter, A Thousand Words and Silent House Reviews
My post-Oscar hangover is just starting to wear off. Granted I didnt drink at all during the show, but the whole thing was just so weird and disjointed that I ended up feeling wasted. Billy Crystals lypo-suction and Adam Sandler talking about making movies can have that effect on people. But what better way to dust off the cobwebs than Tim Riggins heading to Mars, Eddie Murphy shutting up and houses going quiet?

John Carter Does Battle With The White Apes In New Extended Clip
Those who read my coverage from last year's D23 Convention may remember me describing a scene from John Carter that involved the titular hero, played by Taylor Kitsch, entering a gladiator arena with his alien friend (Willem Dafoe) and being forced to do battle with a giant creature called a White Ape. While I did my best to describe the sequence, the truth is that the only way to really experience it is to watch it yourself.

Teaser For The John Carter Super Bowl Trailer Arrives Online
There are three elements that I love about the Super Bowl. First there's the football (lets go Giants!), second there's the commercials, and last, but not least, there's the movie trailers. Every year, knowing that millions of people are glued to their television sets, studios release new looks - and sometimes first looks - at their major releases for the year. So far it seems like Disney is going all out.

John Carter Japanese Trailer Shows More Of Our Hero's Civil War Days
International trailers often tease with additional footage, which absolutely is the case for this Japanese clip advertising Andrew Stantons upcoming John Carter. I cant recall a character of a nephew learning of his uncles disappearance in previous Carter clips, so we get a bit more of the backstory before shuttling on to the Red Planet, where Taylor Kitsch finds himself in a world of trouble and adventure.

International Trailer Shows Off John Carter's Origins
In a way, John Carter is kind of a superhero. Unlike the native people of Mars, who have spent their entire lives experiencing the red planet's low gravity, Carter has the ability to leap huge distances without breaking a sweat. But if the protagonist is a superhero, that means that Andrew Stanton's John Carter will be serving as an origin story. So how exactly did he end up on Mars? That question is answered in the new international trailer...kind of.

Michael Giacchino Premieres 10 Minutes Of His John Carter Score
Though Giacchino worked on Up, Ratatouille and The Incredibles for the animation giants, he oddly did not collaborate with Stanton in any official capacity on Finding Nemo or WALL-E.

79 Images From The Brand New John Carter Trailer
As I noted in my post for the brand new John Carter trailer, I'm still a bit nervous about the story side of things in the film (as well as Taylor Kitsch carrying a movie) but the visuals look stunning. From the wide, sweeping terrains of Mars, to the giant battles, to the cool-looking creatures, from an aesthetics point of view the movie look solid. Sadly the fast pacing of the trailer made it somewhat hard to appreciate what the film actually looks like...

Full John Carter Trailer Soars Online
Earlier today we posted a preview of the first theatrical trailer for the Andrew Stanton-directed John Carter. Sadly, however, the video wasn't that great quality-wise and was surrounded by inane chatter from the hosts of Good Morning America (at the very least I am glad that they didn't talk over the footage like Entertainment Tonight does). Fortunately you no longer have to deal with that version because now, courtesy of Disney, we have the full trailer.

John Carter Squares Off Against A Giant White Ape In New Image
Despite some looks at the concept art and that gorgeous teaser trailer, we still only seen the smallest glimpses of what director Andrew Stanton's John Carter has in store for us.

Now we've got a look at one of the most iconic creatures of writer Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter books -- the ferocious White Apes.

Teaser Trailer For John Carter, Andrew Stanton's First Live Action Film
The first trailer for John Carter, formerly known as John Carter of Mars, has come online, and it's probably not what you're expecting. It's far moodier and a little slower than you might expect from your usual giant CGI movie set in outer space. But that also makes it a lot more interesting

The movie is a departure for Stanton on many levels, his first foray into live-action and his first attempt at starting a trilogy-- "Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.

John Carter Of Mars Now Just John Carter; Andrew Niccol's Now Retitled In Time
It's typically not wise to question the decisions made by Pixar. Since releasing the first Toy Story in 1995 no other studio, on a percentage basis, has been more successful critically. Cars, seen by many as the weakest Pixar production, still has a 74% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That said, their most recent move - changing the title of John Carter of Mars - is quite confounding.

Lee & Associates continues its expansion in Charleston with the acquisition of The Barkley Co.
The four-member team of real estate professionals with Barkley joined Lee & Associates and will expand brokerage offerings for the company. J. Miles Barkley, founder, will join Lee & Associates as a principal.
"Miles' reputation in Charleston's real estate community is stellar, and his involvement in the community speaks volumes of who he is," said Robert H. Nuttall Jr., principal of Lee & Associates Charleston. "His addition, and the members of his team, will have an immediate and long-term impact on this office and our clients."
In February, Lee & Associates Charleston opened after Nuttall other principals switched affiliations from Anchor Commercial.
At the time, Nuttall said there were no immediate plans for local growth in the company and the switch was to give the company access to tools, listings and information on a national scale. Barkley's prior work with Nuttall and the company's wider recognition led him to accept the acquisition.
"The Lee model offers a bigger footprint nationally and regionally and was a big reason why I made this move," Barkley said. "This name recognition and company structure, coupled with an improving economy and the momentum Charleston is experiencing, makes this the right time to join forces with Lee & Associates Charleston and the best opportunity for me and my team to grow."
Henry B. Fishburne, William H. Fishburne and Wendy Mulqueen also will be joining Lee & Associates.
Lee & Associates also has another South Carolina location in Greenville at 105 E. North St., Suite 200, Greenville.

National Gateway kicks off operations for Northeast Ohio Terminal
February 24, 2011
Earlier this week, the National Gateway launched operations of its new Northeast Ohio Terminal.
The National Gateway is an $842 million public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure initiative designed to provide a highly efficient freight transportation link between the Mid-Atlantic ports and the Midwest. It was first unveiled by Class I railroad carrier CSX Corporation in May 2008. CSX and its affiliates have contributed $395 million in funding contributions to this effort, with states—including Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia—expected to contribute $189 million and another $258 million requested from the federal government.
National Gateway officials said that the Northeast Ohio Terminal is the cornerstone of a new double-stack freight rail corridor between East Coast sea ports such as the Port of Baltimore and the Midwest, adding that it employs more than 200 full-time employees, and will serve as the transfer point for hundreds of thousands of freight containers annually.
They also explained that CSX will gradually transition customer shipments through the new terminal over the next few months. Once all of the transitions are complete, the Northwest Ohio facility is expected to handle a throughput capacity, including block swaps and lifts, of nearly 2 million containers per year. Blocks are multiple rail cars with a common destination, and lifts refer to container handling between rail cars and trucks.
When the entire National Gateway project is completed, CSX officials said it will provide greater capacity for product shipments in and out of the Midwest, reduce truck traffic on congested highways, as well as create thousands of jobs that will directly or indirectly support the National Gateway. The company explained that the National Gateway will be comprised of the following: the building or expansion of several high-capacity, job-producing intermodal terminals where product shipments are exchanged between trucks and trains; and CSX collaborating with state and federal government agencies to create double-stack clearances beneath public overpasses along the railroad, which allow each train to carry roughly twice as many cargo boxes.
The National Gateway will focus on three existing rail corridors that run through Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia: the I-70/I-76 Corridor between Washington, D.C. and northwest Ohio via Pittsburgh; the I-95 Corridor between North Carolina and Baltimore via Washington, D.C.; and the Carolina Corridor between Wilmington and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Officials at The National Gateway Council said that this project will "improve American competitiveness in global markets, create jobs, reduce transportation related emissions and alleviate congestion on roads and highways." They added that every dollar spent on the National Gateway returns $6 of public benefits by increasing freight capacity and reducing transit times between East and West Coast ports and major population centers by 24-48 hours.
CSX executives have stated that this effort will highlight the effectiveness of intermodal transportation, in terms of economic and efficiency gain, noting that "intermodal transportation combines the efficiency of rail with the flexibility of trucks …and as our nation faces combined pressures from an increasingly globalized economy and deteriorating transportation infrastructure, it is critical that we work together to bolster this pillar of our national economy."
And industry analysts have told LM that the National Gateway, continues the model to bring in a wide variety of constituents to support efforts to add infrastructure capacity, as well as highlight how intermodal cooperation is critical both now and in the future to boost freight movement in the National Gateway's corridors.

Clayton, MO (KSDK) - An 84 year old man already registered as a sexual offender will spend ninety days in the county jail after the judge suspended the eight year prison term for sodomy.
84 year old Andrew Ford of Affton admitted in St. Louis County Court last week how he violated the then 5 year old victim who was being babysat by Ford's wife at the time.
St. Louis County Circuit Judge Colleen Dolan suspended the prison term and ordered Ford to serve what is known as 'shock treatment' in the county detention facility, followed by electronic home confinement, and to have no contact with anyone under the age of 15.
Originally, Ford was charged five counts of sodomy for the September incidents in 1987. But in a plea agreement, Ford pleaded guilty to two of those charges and will go before Judge Colleen Dolan this morning to learn his punishment.
Authorities say Ford was a registered sex offender at the time of the time of his arrest, having been convicted of sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, and displaying a deadly weapon between 1991 and 2003.

Feel free to click the image to get a bigger version that you can read.
I got an e-mail with a link to this article (Michelle Malkin covered it too) about a high school teacher whose school didn't show Obama's speech to students, but who just couldn't live without indoctrinating those students' fertile little minds, so he (she?) played a video of Obama's speech to Congress with his health care proposal, and made them take a quiz on it afterward.
Note: this was not for a civics or government class- it was an anatomy class. There's really no reason to play the video and give a graded quiz like this that has nothing to do with anatomy. It's unprofessional, partisan, and petty (and just not fair to the students).
Anyways, the author of the post, Teri- put up a screen shot of the quiz the students were made to take, and I decided I'd have a little fun with it. I was always a bit of a "smart alec" in school (which some teachers found charming and others tried very hard to correct), so this was a fun, nostalgic little exercise in principled self-destruction for the sake of Truth (and laughs).

Letter to the Editor
Suspect is caught, work is not done
To the Editor:
I and many Valley Streamers drew a sigh of relief upon hearing of the capture of a suspect wanted in connection with three violent attacks in and near our community. I certainly feel better now that he has been arrested, but I feel there is more work to be done: work that can improve our lines of communication with our police enforcement and safety patrols; work that can restore our love and sense of safety in our parks and public spaces that was so unfairly taken away by one man's actions; work that can develop community-driven strategies and have a meaningful impact in our community.
I hope you will be a part of that work, starting this Thursday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m. at American Legion Post 854, at 51 Roosevelt Ave. in Valley Stream, where I and other community leaders are hosting a crime forum.
