Not so long ago Discreet, the company dealing with the development of software packages for video production and 3D content creation released the fifth version of its most popular 3D modeling software - 3ds max. This version is completely different from all the previous ones, as it boasts extended animation options, functionally richer final rendering, new shadowing algorithms, and many other key innovations, which will take a lot of time to list even. Also they introduced a lot of changes to the viewports renderer, so that the image built by the graphics cards in viewports now looks much more realistic, in other words is much closer to what we actually get after the final rendering is complete. The best example here will be the famous "cottage":
3ds max 4.xx viewports renderer
3ds max 5 viewports renderer
Final Renderer
However, in this article I am not going to focus on the functionality or usability of the new version, and not about its abilities in terms of viewports displaying. All these issues will be discussed in greater detail in a separate review, which is to come out quite soon. The today's article will be devoted to the performance of contemporary gaming graphics cards in 3ds max 5. Among the testing participants you will find: the respectful NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4600, the powerful (in games) ATI RADEON 9700 Pro and the so long-awaited Matrox Parhelia-512. To make our comparison more illustrative, we will also include the results for the "professional" NVIDIA Quadro4 900XGL, which differs from the gaming GeForce4 Ti4600 by slightly higher working frequencies and the drivers optimized for professional 3D modeling applications (read more about professional graphics cards in the article called: ATI FireGL 8800 against NVIDIA Quadro 4 in 3ds max).
Testbed and Methods
Our test system was configured as follows:
- Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz CPU;
- ABIT TH7II mainboard;
- NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4600, ATI RADEON 9700 Pro, Matrox Parhelia, NVIDIA Quadro 4 900XGL graphics cards;
- 20GB IBM DTLA 7200rpm HDD.
We used the following software:
- Windows XP SP1
- 3ds max 5 (OpenGL rendering), 1280x1024 32bit
The graphics cards listed above were tested with the following drivers:
- NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4600: Detonator XP version 30.82;
- ATI RADEON 9700 Pro: Catalyst version 6166;
- NVIDIA Quadro 4 900XGL: Detonator XP version 30.82 and NVIDIA Maxtreme version 4.00.25;
- Matrox Parhelia: 101.00.
The driver settings for NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4600, ATI RADEON 9700 Pro and Matrox Parhelia looked as follows:
The Maxtreme driver settings for NVIDIA Quadro4 900XGL were as follows:
During the tests we disabled V-Sync for all graphics cards involved.
Benchmark 1
This benchmark checks if the graphics card is capable of refreshing more than one viewport in 3ds max simultaneously. There is some animation played in all viewports, and to load the graphics accelerator even more each viewport is displayed in a different mode: from Wireframe to Smooth + Highlights.
- Polygons: 40088;
- Light source: 2;
- Mode: Wireframe, Smooth + Highlights, Smooth + Highlights + Edged Faces.
The tested graphics accelerators get into conditions pretty far from real gaming. Unlike games, all the four viewports are refreshed simultaneously instead of one, three viewports are working in Wireframe mode, while most games use shadowed rendering.
The results of this test once again prove that the driver support of wireframe modes, which are quite specific for gaming accelerators, is very important in professional applications. It is much more important than the common raw power.
Benchmark 2
Here the graphics cards have to work with animation in a single viewport. During the test the camera is flying above the rocks and hills of the moon surface landscape, which is built by 400 thousand polygons displayed in Smooth + Highlights mode.
- Polygons: 400008;
- Light source: 1;
- Mode: Smooth + Highlights.
The testing conditions in this benchmark are more common for the gaming solutions, however, they would be unable to quickly display massive geometry like that without the properly written driver units responsible for geometry processing.
As you can see, the driver quality, namely their "professionalism" play a much more important part in this test, than in the previous one. RADEON 9700 Pro appears twice as slow as GeForce4 Ti4600, and Matrox Parhelia completely failed this benchmark.
Benchmark 3
This test is none other but the same moon surface picture from the previous benchmark. However, besides the landscape itself, we now have some flying objects, like pace crafts or planes.
- Polygons: 742128;
- Light source: 1;
- Mode: Smooth + Highlights.
The result here is similar to what we have already seen: NVIDIA's gaming solution takes the lead due to better implemented geometry processing in its drivers. While the professional graphics card from the same manufacturer demonstrates twice as high performance only due to proper driver optimization.
Benchmark 4
This benchmark deal with the processing of multiple light sources. Since most graphics cards do not support more than 8 light sources, this test as well as the next two work with 8 lights of different types. Here we will have 8 SpotLight light sources, which move and light some geometrical object.
We should point out that imitating the effect made by SpotLights is a much more resource-hungry process than the imitation of Omni or Directional lighting.
- Polygons: 60500;
- Light sources: 8;
- Mode: Smooth + Highlights.
All gaming graphics cards show almost identical results, and the professional Quadro4 gets 15-20% ahead.
Benchmark 5
Here we have the same object, but this time it is lit by 8 Directional lights. Directional lights in 3ds max 5 are the fastest unlike the previous package version.
- Polygons: 60500;
- Light source: 8;
- Mode: Smooth + Highlights.
As for Directional lights processing, ATI RADEON 9700 Pro shows better results than GeForce4 Ti4600, and gets really close to Quadro4 900XGL.
Benchmark 6
Again we've got the same object and 8 light sources. But this time these are all Omni lights, which involve average resources between SpotLight and Directional lights described above.
- Polygons: 60500;
- Light source: 8;
- Mode: Smooth + Highlights.
Summing up the results of the lighting tests we can say that the contemporary gaming graphics cards prove nearly equally fast.

Okay so w/my daughter I had an epidural, I also had stadol and pitocin. Between those three things and the 2.5 hours of pushing including a vaccuum and forceps w/a 4" episotomy and a 1/2" tear, I was completely exhausted and almost "out of it" afterwards. My DD's head was twisted which is what caused her to take soooo long to come out. I wish I knew it if w/b/c of the meds or b/c of the epidural, or just b/c it was a lot of pushing that caused me to be so "out of it" afterwards. !?!? I don't want that feeling again.
Any tips or suggestions anyone has about an Epidural/Stadol/Pitocin let me know!

Las Peras Group
She's had an avocado orchard for more than 15 years and she says that between her and her husband they've moved the orchard ahead in order to have better quality of life. She relates that when it's harvest time she heads out to the wholesale foodstuffs market very early to sell and sometimes she sells them in the market in a town nearby; she sells them by the little bagful.
She's asking for a loan now to buy organic manure, fertilizer, Calidra [brand of hydrated lime powder] and insecticide because due to the strong wind that's buffeted her community an infestation of little spiders has attached that don't let the fruit develop well and this is why the loan is urgently needed to eliminate this type of infestation. She says that thanks to the loan she'll be able to keep her orchard in good condition and with profits obtained she says she'll save up so that in October and November she will buy poinsettias to resell in the state of México.
The other three group members are called María Verónica, María Angélica and Graciela. They will invest in ingredients to make Mexican fast food snacks, in seasonal fruit and vegetables and in plastic dinnerware to sell.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I don't live in fear, but to me, it makes absolutely no sense to purchase a handgun, go to the trouble and expense of getting a carry permit for it....and then leave the danged thing at home.
In the last few years, in the little city that I live in, we've had a gunman open fire in a church during a children's play, a principal and assistant principal shot by a disgruntled teacher, people shot at a hospital by a guy with mental problems, a clerk shot in a store at the mall by an angry customer, not to mention armed robberies, home invasions and all the other usual stuff. It's just crazy anymore.

Its to the point i dont think i want to ever marry him!
Why do guys continue to do stuff that hurts you (me)?
If something as trivial as him watching porn, even though he knows you don't like it, would make you think you don't want to marry him, THEN FOR GODS SAKES DON'T!! You'll come across alot more things that will be WAAAAYYYYYYYY worse than that, and that may build up WAY to much for you to handle.
He watches porn not to spite you, but to get off. If you feel this strongly about it, ask him to hide it, and then don't snoop to see if he is, because you will find out that yes, he in fact is.
Marriage is about love and trust and blah blah blah blah... But a lot of times people forget its also about compromise. One thinks the other should be one way and no other, the other thinks the same, they fake it for a while because they're "in love", get married, find out that things aren't the way they thought and that the other person still acts like themselves, resentment grows, and so on and so on.
If the 2 of you can't come to a compromise on this one thing, then I suggest taking a better look at your relationship...
And BTW, its not a "guy" thing to do stuff that hurts, its a human thing.
So, what you're saying effinhimer, is that if your DH says he does not look at porn, he is lying...for sure...100%? I love your honesty...give it to me.
- Nichole; wife to Russ, mommy to Lexie���
I think the arguement that he isn't doing it to "spite" her is crap. You don't need porn in your life, you choose to view it. (so he is "Spite"ing her) If she has a problem with it then, if he loves her, he should stop doing it. now THAT is compromise.
@mammaviv, What I was saying was if SHE is catching him now, and HE knows how she feels, its going to keep happening.
@ilovemyfamily2, if he was letting her walk in on him watching, and not stop masterbating, yes, thats out of spite.
I don't know ANY back story, and everyone makes their own choices. If you chose to give in and get rid of friends because he said to, thats your choice. If you can't stand porn, thats also your choice. But the way it comes across in your post, it sounds like he made the choice to not give in and watch porn. Did he tell you he won't watch? Is he trying to hide it, or does he not care if you know? I wasn't making a general assumption. I was posting on her post at the top of this page.
But let me reiterate, if you are doubting getting married, then wait until you don't. I am one of those people who believes that extreme jealousy is a reason to rethink entire relationships. If he made you get rid of people in your life for any other reason than you cheating, or the possibility of it, then you should have started questioning him a long time ago.
I agree with Effinhimer and usually do. my question is why do you have a problem with porn? Its sex performances made for people to have a visual to reach orgasm, i am not sure why its seen as a negative thing, its just sex on tv! sex is a wonderful thing, usually. like he said if that alone is a reason to not marry him I would highly recommend not getting married, because if you think that is bad a hard thing to overcome, just wait, more will come, it is normal and that is marriage :)
I've had this conversation over and over with countless women. I will never understand it, just as some women will never get over it. I just keep hearing that it makes them insecure and makes them feel as if they aren't enough etc. etc. Then I challenge them to consider if men asked women to give up vibrators because it made them insecure, and as if they were not good enough and they stare at me as if I just grew third eye
First time mother, beloved friend.
I've had the same battle with my husband before and after we got married and I very much dislike porn also. In my opinion, its not that it makes me feel insecure or bad about myself, its the fact that, for one, as the OP stated, we have sex regularly and he never complains about it and claims he's satisfied with our sex life. If this is the case, why does he need anything extra to get him his off when I give it to him whenever he wants it? For two, he very much dislikes me using my vibrator without him, and he gets just as insecure about me looking at annother man, especially in that way, so why would he do the same thing? Thats just hypocritical which is wrong in a relationship. There can't be an, I can do it but you can't. Thats not how it works. Thats just downright disrespectful. And its downright disrespectful, in any situation, whether its porn or anything else, for a man to do that to the woman he claims to love when he knows she doesn't like it. If its something that isn't going to kill him to do without, then he can do without it and get over it. Porn isn't a neccessity in a relationship or in any persons life therefore it can easily be done away with if someone is bothered by it, no ifs ands or buts about it.
Due date is 11/11/11! Hoping it happens!
I think I can see where you're coming from, however....
If he's having sex with you regularly, and you're both satisfied with the sex you're having, what's the harm in rubbing a few more out on his own? Does he have to have every orgasm with you? Should he just use his imagination? Would you be content if he were more discreet and you didn't have to see it everytime you turned on the computer?
I'm all about fairness, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Would you be more accepting of his pornography watching if he allowed you to use your vibrator and look at other men?
First time mother, beloved friend.
I agree with PP, I just don't get it! Boys will be boys n girls will be girls, I see no difference in masturbation if ya use a visual aid or not, if it's not porn its their imagination!

AP Exclusive: State workers get $516M in bonus pay
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Many California state employees received a boost this year after complaining of furloughs and salary cuts during the recession, with some of the largest bargaining units agreeing to raises of 2 to 3 percent annually over the next few years.
But even as their unions were criticizing the unpaid days off, thousands of state workers continued to collect hundreds of millions of dollars a year in contractually negotiated bonuses and other types of extra payments, on top of overtime and regular pay raises, according to a review by The Associated Press.
The add-ons have been part of the state's compensation system for decades, and the costs have been rising steadily in the last five years.
The total cost reached $516 million in 2012, up from $373 million in 2008. The money was distributed among 95,705 employees who took on special duties or skills affiliated with their jobs, according to five years of California pay records for 250,000 state employees requested by the AP. The costs have gone up in part because of dozens of new categories the state was required to add by federal court receivers overseeing the state's troubled prison system.
The average payout in 2012 was $5,382 per employee for those who received extra pay, a 17 percent increase over the previous year and a 39 percent increase from five years earlier. The most extra pay received by one worker was nearly $531,000 for a senior psychiatrist at a state mental hospital, nearly double his annual salary.
The payouts have been part of collective bargaining for many years, but some categories seem to reward work or skills that are part of the job the employee was hired to do.
California has more than 325 types of special pay for a range of skills, certifications or benchmarks. The category includes bonuses, incentive pay, retention pay and pay differentials. The money is awarded for such things as knowing multiple languages, holding a college degree, riding a motorcycle on the job or, in some cases, just for sticking around.
State workers also can receive special pay for obtaining a credential, driving the office carpool, taking dictation or working on deadline. Some examples include:
— A $1,000 bonus for parking attendants at the state Department of Food and Agriculture, a perk negotiated by the Teamsters Union.
— $1,600 a year in "fitness incentive pay" for prison guards and psychiatric facility workers for submitting to a physical exam.
— An extra $10 an hour for Air Resources Board employees who are forced to climb to take air quality samples. Climbing "does not include such things as taking an elevator," according to the memorandum of understanding.
A number of the categories deal with law enforcement functions, including several for California Highway Patrol officers. That includes an extra $240 a month for certain CHP officers who have a bachelor's degree, extra pay for officers who ride a motorcycle or work in a canine unit and a stipend of 3.5 percent of base pay for time spent putting on protective gear and inspecting weapons and vehicles.
Several telephone messages left with the California Highway Patrol Association were not returned.
Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association, said some of the bonus pay categories seem legitimate, such as having an additional language skill. But he questioned why they need to be separate from the employees' regular salaries.
"Why aren't the jobs described with particularity and the skill set described, and you hire people with that skill set, and that's it?" he said. "If speaking another language is another bona fide qualification for having that job, then it should be part of the job."

Sri Lanka's president urged his peers Friday not to pass judgment over his country's past as he hosted a Commonwealth summit that threatens to be upstaged by a visit to the war-torn north by Britain's David Cameron.
The summit was meant to be a chance for President Mahinda Rajapakse, a Sinhalese nationalist leader who oversaw the crushing of Tamil Tiger rebels in 2009, to showcase the development of his country.
But after refusing to bow to demands for an independent investigation into the end of the conflict, Rajapakse has been confronted by a public relations disaster.
The leaders of Canada, India and Mauritius have all snubbed the meeting and British prime minister Cameron's visit to the Jaffna region is designed to shine a spotlight on the plight of war victims.
But in an opening speech, Rajapakse said the Commonwealth must not be a "judgmental body" and warned his fellow leaders of trying to impose their own "bilateral agendas".
"If the Commonwealth is to remain relevant to its member countries, the association must respond to the needs of its people and not turn into a punitive or judgmental body," he said in a speech ahead of the formal opening of the summit by Britain's Prince Charles.
Since the war, the economy has enjoyed growth rates of up to 8.2 percent and more than one million tourists visited Sri Lanka last year -- a new record.
But what was meant to be a chance to champion a new-look Sri Lanka has been overshadowed by the legacy of the war.
The prime minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, was the first to announce a boycott after his government said the summit was akin to "accommodating evil" while his Mauritian counterpart Navin Chandra Ramgoolam -- due to host the next one -- is also refusing to attend.
Even India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is staying away, preferring to antagonise a neighbour rather than offend Tamil voters ahead of next year's elections.
The agenda for the three-day summit includes sessions on debt restructuring and climate change.
But Rajapakse spent the build-up fending off allegations that his troops were responsible for the death of some 40,000 Tamil civilians in the final weeks of the war.
During an impassioned speech, the 67-year-old leader said his regime deserved credit for ending the conflict.
"We asserted the greatest human right -- the right to life," he said.
"In the last four years there has not been one single terrorism-related incident in Sri Lanka."
At least 100,000 people lost their lives in the conflict which began in 1972.
The northern Jaffna peninsula, home to around 800,000 Tamils, was the main battlefield.
Before the war, Jaffna had a flourishing economy -- second only in terms of wealth to Colombo.
But its towns and villages are now littered with shelled-out buildings, interspersed with abandoned farmland. Some 30,000 people still live in refugee camps.
Cameron has taken some flak for not joining the boycott but he promised Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi this month that he would witness Jaffna's fate first hand.
He will thus become the first foreign leader to visit Jaffna since the former British colony gained independence in 1948.
"Everyone is pretending that everything is okay, that Tamils have equal rights but it's not true," said the editor of a Jaffna-based newspaper who is to meet Cameron.
"This needs to be told to the international world," said M.V Kaanamylnathan, editor of the Uthayan ("The Sun") daily whose printing presses were recently torched and which lost several reporters during the war.
Cameron, who left the summit only hours after it opened, can expect a frosty reception when he meets Rajapakse back in Colombo in the evening.
Cameron has said he would have "tough conversations" with Rajapakse but the Sri Lankan leader says he has questions of his own.
At the last summit in 2011 in Perth, Commonwealth leaders drew up a charter of common values which committed members to respecting human rights.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who is handing over the chairmanship of the Commonwealth to Rajapakse, acknowledged Sri Lanka was emerging from a troubled past and that its people could take heart from how South Africa and Ireland had come through darker times.
"Sri Lanka's willingness to host this Commonwealth shows its commitment to democratic pluralism and freedom based on law," he said.
"With peace has come more freedom, and more prosperity. So we are here to praise as much as to judge ... and also to reassure all its citizens that justice today is better than yesterday. And tomorrow it will be better than today."
In his opening speech, Prince Charles said he felt "privileged" to be representing his mother Queen Elizabeth II, the titular head of the organisation.
"The Sri Lankan people have confronted great adversity," said the prince, who also recalled the devastating impact on the island of the 2004 tsunami.

This adventure was outstanding! The guides were personable and entertaining. The drive was exhilarating and we had just enough rain to knock down the dust, create a few mud puddles but not soak us to the skin. I highly recommend the tour company and their ATV Excursion!
June 2014
Very nice, but put on long pants, because the hot air coming out from the machine WILL burn your legs.
May 2014
Great tour! Enjoyed it a lot! Chukka cove was a great way to end off taking a swim in a beautiful bay! The guides were very helpful and informative!
July 2013
This was great! Everything about it was worth it. The scenery, the riding, the guides. Loved it.
June 2013
I had a great time on this tour. It rained right before we got to the site so the trail was nice and muddy, giving us a real ATV experience. The tour guides were very nice and took pictures of us going through the mud puddles. At the end we were able to rinse off by jumping off a safe cliff into the ocean, which i didn't do but others had fun doing. I would definitely recommend this tour.
January 2012
This was a fun day, and the staff was very patient and informative. I would definitely recommend this excursion. Although, I have to warn everyone to wear closed toe shoes, and older clothes, it was muddy!!

Rebels head honcho Dave Filoni posted two teases for the upcoming third season for May the 4th. The first is a mystery, though "You can see it, if you are willing…" The second, Rex in more traditional clone trooper helmet. I've seen a lot of guesses for the first, but I'll leave it to you.

Type FO Negative: Best #StarWars, #TheForceAwakens and #StarWarsRebels tweets for March 29-April 6
Now that we know the Rogue One trailer is coming tomorrow, I can't put off the tweets any longer. This week, we got a Blu-ray, a Rebels season finale, and a lot of mixed feelings about Kylo Ren. What else is new?
Rumor: Rebels to end in season 3?
Jordan Maison at Cinelinx says he's heard that the next season of Star Wars Rebels will be the show's last., and that it will be succeeded by a new cartoon. This does make a certain amount of sense, and cartoons do tend to have short lifespans.
There have been similar rumors in the past, saying the next cartoon may be set in the sequel era. Personally I find that unlikely until (at least) after Episode VIII, but it's certainly not impossible.
This is just me speculating, but there's also the possibility of a new series that takes some of the Rebels characters forward in a sort of rebranding, thus a 'new' show. Maybe Rebels becomes Rebellion?
In any case, stay tuned. We already know (officially) that Rogue One is going to come into play, and that certainly could play a role in the series endgame. I also expect, if this turns out to be true, we'll heard sooner rather than later.
For the record, here's what Pablo has to say. (He also apparently flat-out called it BS at one point.)
Ahsoka novel to explore how she ended up on the path to the Rebellion
Announced this morning via an exclusive with Nerdist is a new novel, Ahsoka, from Disney Lucasfilm Press. Written by E.K. Johnston, the novel will follow Ahsoka Tano after the events of Order 66. Here's how they describe it:
Ahsoka Tano, fan favorite character from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, will be the star of her own young adult novel from Disney Lucasfilm Press this October 11, 2016! Fans have long wondered what happened to Ahsoka after she left the Jedi Order near the end of the Clone Wars, and before she re-appeared as the mysterious Rebel operative Fulcrum in Rebels. Finally, her story will begin to be told. Following her experiences with the Jedi and the devastation of Order 66, Ahsoka is unsure she can be part of a larger whole ever again. But her desire to fight the evils of the Empire and protect those who need it will lead her right to Bail Organa, and the Rebel Alliance….
Ahsoka will be out on October 11, 2016.
Post-'Twilight of the Apprentice:' Rebels Recon and other follow-up
The usual suspects discuss the season-ending 'Twilight of the Apprentice' in a super-sized Rebels Recon.
There's more questions answered with Dave Filoni over at io9, IGN and /Film. Plus, don't miss the Q&A that James taped!
Her Universe has a new Ahsoka tee, featuring art by Dave Filoni.
io9 also learned that S3 will feature a lot more Sabine.
Rebels S2 Finale: Q&A with Dave Filoni, Ashley Eckstein, and more
Now that you've seen 'Twilight of the Apprentice', the final episode of season two of Star Wars Rebels, dive into a question and answers session with the cast and crew. Held after the finale screening at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank on Monday, March 28, the Q&A features executive producer & supervising director Dave Filoni, producer Simon Kinberg, and voice actors Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka Tano) and Taylor Gray (Ezra Bridger). Moderated by Amy Ratcliffe, the cast and crew discuss the hour-long final episode and how it came to be. Plus references to Donkey Kong, Gandalf, and more! Yes, it contains spoilers, so be sure you've seen the season finale before viewing!
There's also a few audience questions, including one about the Grand Inquisitor's role as a Temple Guard: he was one of the guards in The Clone Wars that arrested Ahsoka and later escorted Barriss Offee into the courtroom. And of course, someone had to ask about bringing Thrawn into the show.
Rebels S2 ends tonight with 'Twilight of the Apprentice'
Rebels wraps up their second season tonight – and deals with some old Clone Wars business – with tonight's one-hour 'Twilight of the Apprentice'. IGN has an interview with Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg and Ashley Eckstein where they address the return (again) of Darth Maul, Darth Vader and Ahsoka. Eckstein also chats on StarWars.com.
Fans who don't want to be spoiled on Twitter should probably mute the hashtag #StarWarsRebels.
Rebels begins at 9:00 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on Disney XD. And yes, there will be a season three, probably beginning in the fall.
Unboxing Star Wars: Tales from a GFFA: Aliens Vol 1 & Rebels: 'The Forgotten Droid' & 'The Mystery of Chopper Base'
We've got a new episode of Unboxing Star Wars! Yowie, Baby Jawa and I review the Star Wars Rebels episodes 'The Forgotten Droid' and 'The Mystery of Chopper Base' and then I give my take on: The Force Awakens: Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far Away: Aliens Volume I by Landry Q. Walker, from Disney-Lucasfilm Press. Meanwhile, Baby Jawa does baby things and we also look at some R2-D2 socks, a Millennium Falcon pocket watch from Japan, and the really nifty Vote Leia posters promoting the upcoming Claudia Gray novel, Bloodline.
Quick reviews
→ The Force Awakens: Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far Away: Aliens Volume I (release date: April 5, 2016) – Thumbs up! Six short stories about some minor TFA characters give us a variety of genres, all from one author, and all very enjoyable! Fun stuff!
→ 'The Forgotten Droid' – Loved it! Chopper has his own adventure and does the impossible: makes a friend. Great work by Stephen Stanton as AP-5!
→ 'The Mystery of Chopper Base' – Decent. We get some bug hunting action with the spiders, and some tension as the Ghost crew prepares to bid farewell to Kanan and Ezra.

I made this as an alternative to regular spaghetti and wanted to try something that didn't have a ton of ratings but had good ones. Followed the recipe exactly. We ate all of it so it is not bad but I always ask my husband when I make something if he would eat it again and he said no. I think he is unsure about the BOCA crumbles. I would say it is good to try and see if you like it. Definitely double the recipe if you are feeding more than 2. Really it could be tight for feeding 2 if you are big eaters.
I actually followed the recipe, and it turned out well...for those that are altering it, you really shouldn't rate it since you aren't much help to the people that actually want a review of the recipe. Make sense? Sorry, it is just annoying!

I was checking my stats earlier and saw visitors arriving from Wikipedia. One of my posts is listed on the Wikipedia page for logo (in the external links section). A nice surprise for the day!
The post on Wikipedia is The world's best logo designers? and given the fact that there are only five other external links from Wikipedia's logo page I'd like to thank whoever added me.
It would've been an even better surprise if Wikipedia were to remove rel="nofollow" from links. It's for that reason, that whenever I link to a Wikipedia page I add rel="nofollow" in the codes. That probably sounds petty, but it's worth a few minutes reading what others have to say on the matter.
Andy Beard has discussed how Wikipedia added nofollow to external links, saying:
"I would guess that a good half of the inbound links Wikipedia has are from bloggers, and yet that link juice love is not returned. Why link to Wikipedia with a followable link? They don't share the link equity back out."
Andy Beal is another talking about Wikipedia nofollow.
In fact, there's even a Wikipedia nofollow plugin available that changes all of your external links to Wikipedia to nofollow links. Personally I think this is somewhat over the top however.
What do you think?
Now that I've written about the listing, Sod's Law says it'll be removed before you read this.
Regardless, thanks again to whoever placed me on there in the first place.

The hair-raising suspense of The General's Daughter... the wry wit of The Gold Coast...this is vintage Nelson DeMille at the peak of his originality and the height of his powers...Wounded in the line of duty, NYPD homicide cop John Corey is convalescing in rural eastern Long Island when an attractive young couple he knows is found shot to death on the family patio. The victims were biologists at Plum Island, a research site rumored to be an incubator for germ warfare.Suddenly, a local double murder takes on shattering global implications and thrusts Corey and two extraordinary women into a dangerous search for the secret of PLUM ISLAND....
Editorial Reviews
This time, DeMille limns not the Fitzgeraldian wealth of Oyster Bay but rather the North Fork's comfortably well-offbut less-fancy citizens. An NYPD homicide detective, John Corey, has moved into his uncle's fine digs overlooking Great Peconic Bay. Restlessly recuperating from wounds received in the line of duty, he's happy to answer the summons of the Chief of the Southold Town PD, an old friend, who hires him to consult on the double murder of Tom and Judy Gordon, biologists who worked on (nonfictional) Plum Island, the site of animal disease research for the Department of Agriculture. Were the Gordons murdered because they'd stolen some valuable new vaccine, or even a dreaded virus? They'd obviously far outspent their income, living high on the hog and buying a very expensive and speedy powerboat as well as an acre of bluff overlooking the bay. Had they been running drugs? Corey doesn't think so, although an ice chest missing from their boat points to something forbidden being hauled from Plum Island. He teams up with Beth Penrose, a Southold detective working her first homicide. Their visit to the Plum Island research facility and the Gordons' labs reveals only that the FBI and CIA have sanitized the place and have run up false information for public consumption. Corey also falls in with the star-crossed Emma Whitestone, a researcher of historic artifacts and an expert on Captain Kidd's lost treasure, which is thought to be buried somewhere nearby. Among the murder suspects is nasty viniculturalist Fredric Tobin, a smoothie who lures the ladies with champagne and Concorde jets.
Heavy wisecracking keeps the fun flowing as DeMille cranks up a thrilling, entertaining plot.

Plum Island
By Nelson DeMille
Warner BooksCopyright © 1997 Nelson DeMille
All right reserved.
Chapter OneThrough my binoculars, I could see this nice forty-something-foot cabin cruiser anchored a few hundred yards offshore. There were two thirtyish couples aboard, having a merry old time, sunbathing, banging down brews and whatever. The women had on teensey-weensey little bottoms and no tops, and one of the guys was standing on the bow, and he slipped off his trunks and stood there a minute hanging hog, then jumped in the bay and swam around the boat. What a great country. I put down my binoculars and popped a Budweiser.
It was late summer, not meaning late August, but meaning September, before the autumnal equinox. Labor Day weekend had gone, and Indian summer was coming, whatever that is.
I, John Corey by name, convalescing cop by profession, was sitting on my uncle's back porch, deep in a wicker chair with shallow thoughts running through my mind. It occurred to me that the problem with doing nothing is not knowing when you're finished.
The porch is an old-fashioned wraparound, circling three sides of an 1890s Victorian farmhouse, all shingle and gingerbread, turrets, gables, the whole nine yards. From where I sat, I could see south across a sloping green lawn to the Great Peconic Bay. The sun was low on the western horizon, which was where it belonged at 6:45 p.m. I'm a city boy, but I was really getting into the country stuff, the sky and all that, and I finally found the Big Dipper a few weeks ago.
I was wearing a plain white T-shirt and cutoff jeans that used to fit before I lost too much weight. My bare feet were propped on the rail, and between my left and right big toes was framed the aforementioned cabin cruiser.
About this time of day you can start to hear crickets, locusts, and who knows what, but I'm not a big fan of nature noises so I had a portable tape player beside me on the end table with The Big Chill cranking, and the Bud in my left hand, the binocs in my lap, and lying on the floor near my right hand was my off-duty piece, a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver with a two-inch barrel which fit nicely in my purse. Just kidding.
Somewhere in the two seconds of silence between "When a Man Loves a Woman" and "Dancing in the Street," I could hear or feel on the creaky old floorboards that someone was walking around the porch. Since I live alone and was expecting no one, I took the .38 in my right hand and rested it on my lap. So you don't think I'm a paranoid citizen, I should mention that I was convalescing, not from the mumps, but from three bullet wounds, two 9mm and one .44 caliber Magnum, not that the size of the holes matters. As with real estate, what matters with bullet holes is location, location, location. Obviously these holes were in the right locations because I was convalescing, not decomposing. I looked to my right where the porch turned around the west side of the house. A man appeared around the corner, then stopped about fifteen feet from me, searching the long shadows cast by the setting sun. In fact, the man cast a long shadow himself which passed over me, so he didn't seem to see me. But with the sun at his back, it was also difficult for me to see his face or to guess his intentions. I said, "Help you?"
He turned his head toward me. "Oh ... hey, John. Didn't see you there."
"Have a seat, Chief." I slipped my revolver into my waistband under my T-shirt, then lowered the volume on "Dancing in the Street."
Sylvester Maxwell, aka Max, who is the law in these here parts, sauntered toward me and plopped his butt on the rail, facing me. He was wearing a blue blazer, white button-down shirt, tan cotton slacks, boating shoes, and no socks. I couldn't tell if he was on or off duty. I said, "There're some soft drinks in that cooler."
"Thanks." He reached down and rescued a Budweiser from the ice. Max likes to call beer a soft drink.
He sipped awhile, contemplating a point in space about two feet from his nose. I directed my attention back toward the bay and listened to "Too Many Fish in the Sea"-The Marvelettes. It was Monday, so the weekenders were gone, thank God, and it was as I said after Labor Day when most of the summer rentals terminate, and you could feel the solitude returning again. Max is a local boy and he doesn't get right down to business, so you just wait it out. He finally asked me, "You own this place?"
"My uncle does. He wants me to buy it."
"Don't buy anything. My philosophy is, if it flies, floats, or fucks, rent it."
"Thank you."
"You going to be staying here awhile?"
"Until the wind stops whistling through my chest."
He smiled, but then got contemplative again. Max is a big man, about my age, which is to say mid-forties, wavy blond hair, ruddy skin, and blue eyes. Women seem to find him good-looking, which works for Chief Maxwell, who is single and hetero.
He said, "So, how're you feeling?"
"Not bad."
"Do you feel like some mental exercise?"
I didn't reply. I've known Max about ten years, but since I don't live around here, I only see him now and then. I should say at this point that I'm a New York City homicide detective, formerly working out of Manhattan North until I went down. That was on April twelfth. A homicide detective hadn't gone down in New York in about two decades so it made big news. The NYPD Public Information Office kept it going because it's contract time again, and with me being so personable, good-looking, and so forth, they milked it a little and the media cooperated, and round and round we go. Meanwhile, the two perps who plugged me are still out there. So, I spent a month in Columbia Presbyterian, then a few weeks in my Manhattan condo, then Uncle Harry suggested that his summer house was a fitting place for a hero. Why not? I arrived here in late May, right after Memorial Day.
Max said, "I think you knew Tom and Judy Gordon."
I looked at him. Our eyes met. I understood. I asked, "Both of them?"
He nodded. "Both." After a moment of respectful silence, he said, "I'd like you to take a look at the scene."
"Why not? As a favor to me. Before everyone else gets a piece of it. I'm short on homicide detectives."
In fact, the Southold Town Police Department has no homicide detectives, which usually works out okay because very few people get iced out here. When someone does, the Suffolk County police respond with a homicide detail to take over, and Max steps aside. Max does not like this.
A bit of locale here-this is the North Fork of Long Island, State of New York, the Township of Southold, founded, according to a plaque out on the highway, in sixteen-forty-something by some people from New Haven, Connecticut, who, for all anybody knows, were on the lam from the king. The South Fork of Long Island, which is on the other side of Peconic Bay, is the trendy Hamptons: writers, artists, actors, publishing types, and other assorted anals. Here, on the North Fork, the folks are farmers, fishermen, and such. And perhaps one murderer.
Anyway, Uncle Harry's house is specifically located in the hamlet of Mattituck, which is about a hundred road miles from West 102nd Street where two Hispanic-looking gentlemen had pumped fourteen or fifteen shots at yours truly, accomplishing three hits on a moving target at twenty to thirty feet. Not an impressive showing, but I'm not criticizing or complaining.
Anyway, the Township of Southold comprises most of the North Fork, and contains eight hamlets and one village, named Greenport, and one police force of maybe forty sworn officers, and Sylvester Maxwell is the chief, so there it is.
Max said, "It doesn't hurt to look."
"Sure it does. What if I get subpoenaed to testify out here at some inconvenient time? I'm not getting paid for this."
"Actually, I called the town supervisor and got an okay to hire you, officially, as a consultant. A hundred bucks a day."
"Wow. Sounds like the kind of job I have to save up for."
Max allowed himself a smile. "Hey, it covers your gas and phone. You're not doing anything anyway."
"I'm trying to get the hole in my right lung to close."
"This won't be strenuous."
"How do you know?"
"It's your chance to be a good Southold citizen."
"I'm a New Yorker. I'm not supposed to be a good citizen."
"Hey, did you know the Gordons well? Were they friends?"
"Sort of."
"So? There's your motivation. Come on, John. Get up. Let's go. I'll owe you a favor. Fix a ticket."
In truth, I was bored, and the Gordons were good people.... I stood and put down my beer. "I'll take the job at a buck a week to make me official."
"Good. You won't regret it."
"Of course I will." I turned off "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog" and asked Max, "Is there a lot of blood?"
"A little. Head wounds."
"You think I need my flip-flops?"
"Well ... some brains and skull blew out the back...."
"Okay." I slipped into my flip-flops, and Max and I walked around the porch to the circular driveway in the front of the house. I got into his unmarked PD, a white Jeep Cherokee with a squawky police radio.
We drove down the long driveway, which was covered with about a hundred years' worth of raw oyster and clam shells because Uncle Harry and everyone before him threw shells on the driveway along with the ash and cinders from the coal furnace to keep the mud and dust down. Anyway, this used to be what's called a bay farm estate, and it's still bayfront, but most of the farm acreage has been sold. The landscape is a little overgrown, and the flora is mostly the kind of stuff they don't use much anymore, such as forsythia, pussy willow, and privet hedges. The house itself is painted cream with green trim and a green roof. It's all pretty charming, really, and maybe I will buy it if the cop docs say I'm through. I should practice coughing up blood.
On the subject of my disability, I have a good shot at a three-quarter, tax-free pension for life. This is the NYPD equivalent of going to Atlantic City, tripping over a tear in the rug at Trump's Castle, and hitting your head on a slot machine in full view of a liability lawyer. Jackpot!
"Did you hear me?"
"I said, they were found at 5:45 p.m. by a neighbor-"
"Am I on retainer now?"
"Sure. They were both shot once in the head, and the neighbor found them lying on their patio deck-"
"Max, I'm going to see all this. Tell me about the neighbor."
"Right. His name is Edgar Murphy, an old gent. He heard the Gordons' boat come in about 5:30, and about fifteen minutes later he walks over and finds them murdered. Never heard a shot."
"Hearing aid?"
"No. I asked him. His wife's got okay hearing, too, according to Edgar. So maybe it was a silencer. Maybe they're deafer than they think."
"But they heard the boat. Edgar is sure about the time?"
"Pretty sure. He called us at 5:51 p.m., so that's close."
"Right." I looked at my watch. It was now 7:10 p.m. Max must have had the bright idea to come collect me very soon after he got on the scene. I assumed the Suffolk County homicide guys were there by now. They would have come in from a little town called Yaphank where the county police are headquartered and which is about an hour drive to where the Gordons lived.
Max was going on about this and that, and I tried to get my mind into gear, but it had been about five months since I had to think about things like this. I was tempted to snap, "Just the facts, Max!" but I let him drone on. Also, "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog" kept playing in my head, and it's really annoying, as you know, when you can't get a tune out of your head. Especially that one. I looked out the open side window. We were driving along the main east-west road, which is conveniently called Main Road, toward a place called Nassau Point where the Gordons live-or lived. The North Fork is sort of like Cape Cod, a windswept jut of land surrounded on three sides by water and covered with history.
The full-time population is a little thin, about twenty thousand folks, but there are a lot of summer and weekend types, and the new wineries have attracted day-trippers. Put up a winery and you get ten thousand wine-sipping yuppie slime from the nearest urban center. Never fails.
Anyway, we turned south onto Nassau Point, which is a two-mile-long, cleaver-shaped point of land that cuts into the Great Peconic Bay. From my dock to the Gordons' dock is about four miles.
Nassau Point has been a summer place since about the 1920s, and the homes range from simple bungalows to substantial establishments. Albert Einstein summered here, and it was from here in nineteen-thirty-whatever that he wrote his famous "Nassau Point Letter" to Roosevelt urging the president to get moving on the atomic bomb. The rest, as they say, is history.
Interestingly, Nassau Point is still home to a number of scientists; some work at Brookhaven National Laboratory, a secret nuclear something or other about thirty-five miles west of here, and some scientists work on Plum Island, a very top secret biological research site which is so scary it has to be housed on an island. Plum Island is about two miles off the tip of Orient Point, which is the last piece of land on the North Fork-next stop Europe.
Not incidental to all this, Tom and Judy Gordon were biologists who worked on Plum Island, and you can bet that both Sylvester Maxwell and John Corey were thinking about that. I asked Max, "Did you call the Feds?"
He shook his head.
"Why not?"
"Murder is not a federal offense."
"You know what I'm talking about, Max."
Chief Maxwell didn't respond.

The Art of Compromise
There is incessant talk of the need for conservatives to compromise on their principles, even though Democrats have never showed a willingness to compromise on any of their sacred tenets. However, there is little thought offered by the wizards of smart in the Republicans Party as to the meaning of compromise and how to effectively pursue one. Let's excogitate over the definition of compromise. Compromise | Read More »

"Nijbroek" Nijbroek by Pijlmans
Nijbroek Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 18 photos
Nijbroek is a village in the province Gelderland, it is located close to the city Apeldoorn.
There is a marked walk through the pasture around Nijbroek, called the Niebroekerpad. The hike is 14 km, or 9 km if you skip the last part.
The beginning and finish of the walks are close to the church of Nijbroek. Here you will also find a foot and mouth disease monument, erected for the cattle that was killed to prevent spreading of the virus.
The hike takes you along a brook and through farmland, so big parts of the hike are unpaved.
There are some old farms along the way as well as the beautiful houses in Nijbroek, such as this one next to the church.

F1: Racist Controversy Overblown, Barcelona Track Boss SaysWith the FIA awaiting a report from the Spanish motorsports authorities about what they plan to do to prevent a repeat of the scenes of abuse aimed at Lewis Hamilton during this past weekdn's Formula 1 test at Barcelona, Circuit de Catalunya boss Ramon Padreras has moved to play down the mounting controversy, claiming it has been blown out of proportion.
In an interview with Spanish newspaper AS, he said, "Last Friday, 10 people with a megaphone behaved in a unacceptable way against the British driver. Right away, we kicked two of them out, we cleared the stands right in front of McLaren's garage and we decided to take measures for Saturday, closing up the terrace right above them. The problem was solved then.
"In no way can the behavior of 10 fans represent the 55,000 who enjoyed the three days and knew how to behave. I think that in some cases the behavior of some 10 or 15 people has been taken out of context, and we are in complete disagreement with that information."
On the other hand, Paderas said, he will do everything he can to ensure there is no repeat of the events in the future.
"We are against any racist or xenophobic demonstration, even if it's from a few, and we are not going to allow a repeat of this in the future."
Despite Padreras' comments, the scenes of abuse still remain a big news story in the UK, with the British government now stepping in to increase the pressure. Britain's Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe said Tuesday he plans to write to the FIA to ask what action the governing body is going to take.
"I was shocked by those sickening images," said Sutcliffe. "How on Earth were fans dressed like this allowed into the circuit? Racism should not be tolerated and this isn't the first time British sportsmen have been racially abused in Spain.
"This brings into question whether the Grand Prix should be held at this track. I am going to write to the FIA to ask what action they are going to take in response to this. I am also going to write to the Spanish sports minister to express our ongoing concern about racism suffered by our sportsmen."

The Montana Supreme Court has reinstated a criminal case against a 23-year-old German woman who prosecutors say came to Montana as an exchange student in 2009 and repeatedly made false claims that she was raped and assaulted by three different men over the next several years.
In December 2012, the attorney general's office charged Christina Nadine Nelson, also known as Christina Nadine Mark, with felony tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. Prosecutors allege she misled investigators by going through a sexual assault nurse examination at a Billings hospital after falsely claiming to have been raped by an ex-boyfriend Aug. 10, 2012.
In response to a motion by Nelson's attorney, District Judge G. Todd Baugh issued an order dismissing the charge in July 2013. He stated that it was obvious Nelson lied about being raped, but that because no crime had been committed against her, there was no evidence of a rape for her to tamper with or fabricate.
The state appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which issued an order last week overturning Baugh's ruling and sending the case back to Yellowstone County District Court for prosecution.
"Although Nelson's body and the samples taken therefrom (in the sexual assault examination) were not 'false' in the sense of being forged or fabricated, they were certainly false in what she presented them to be — evidence of a physical assault," the supreme court's order states.
Nelson's whereabouts are unclear, but her Facebook profile lists Billings as her current city. After Baugh dismissed the case and it was on appeal, he granted Nelson permission to travel to Germany and Switzerland, over objection from prosecutors.
Nelson's attorney, Penelope Strong, did not respond to a request for comment.
There is a $15,000 arrest warrant for Nelson out of Flathead County, where the attorney general's office also charged her in a similar case with making false claims that she was both physically and sexually assaulted by her Columbia Falls High School prom date in 2009. She has also been charged with making a false claim of $8,100 in medical bills to the Crime Victim's Compensation Program.
In that case, Nelson falsely claimed to have been raped and assaulted with a knife while on the way to prom with her date, according to prosecutors.
Nelson went through a sexual assault examination at a hospital in Kalispell and had lacerations to her neck area, but a photo taken the night of the prom at a time after she claimed the rape happened doesn't show any injuries to her neck, according to charging documents records.
Her alleged attacker was expelled from school for the rest of his senior year, even though Nelson ultimately didn't pursue criminal charges against him after investigators confronted her about inconsistencies in her rape claim.
Later in 2009, after Nelson moved to Billings, she claimed her boyfriend raped and assaulted her, after he tried to end their relationship while they were attending college together, prosecutors said.
Nelson again went through a sexual assault examination, but then refused to cooperate with investigators. That boyfriend maintained he never assaulted Nelson and he transferred to another school after receiving threats and being branded a rapist, court records state.
In 2011, Nelson went to a Billings hospital, claiming she had been stabbed by another boyfriend, but then refused to cooperate with investigators, prosecutors said. Over the next year and a half, she made more rape and assault claims against the same man, including two claims of rape made in April 2012 after he broke up with her. In each of those instances, she went through a sexual assault examination, but then became uncooperative with law enforcement. In one instance, phone records showed the man was out of state at the time Nelson claimed to have been raped.
On Aug. 10, 2012, she went to a Billings hospital and again claimed that she had been raped by the same man in the parking lot of her workplace in the Heights, according to charging documents. She again went through a sexual assault examination, which turned up evidence of sexual intercourse. However, she didn't tell the nurse who did the examination that she had intercourse earlier in the night with her husband, something investigators later determined.
Police reviewed surveillance footage of the parking lot where Nelson claimed to have been raped and found no signs of her being there at the time she claimed to have been attacked, court records say. They also reviewed gas station footage and financial records that showed her alleged attacker was actually out of state at the time the rape supposedly occurred.
"The three men who have been wrongly accused of rape and assault by the defendant deserve to have this case prosecuted," Assistant Attorney General Mary E. Cochenour wrote in her objection to Nelson being allowed to travel to Europe. "Allowing the defendant to travel to Germany while this case is pending presents the risk that these men may never have their names cleared of these horrific false claims of rape and assault."

Patrick Stewart played the role of Charles Xavier (or Professor X, as he is more commonly known) for the better part of a decade, through three X-Men movies along with a digitally de-aged cameo in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In director Matthew Vaughn's upcoming prequel X-Men: First Class, the role will be played by James McAvoy, who previously joked that his performance would "bury Stewart's.
In a conversation with The LA Times, Stewart did some of his own joking — pretending not be aware that McAvoy was cast in the role — before praising the Scottish actor, and offered his approval of the casting.
I must say that it is nice to see a role that you created go forward with someone you admire.
While talking about the X-Men movies, Stewart also admitted that his favorite scene never made it into the original trilogy.
I did three and the best thing I ever did got cut out of one of them. I had to get Xavier's wheelchair into this elevator and it was just an inch wider than the chair. I worked on it and worked on it; I got to the point that I could zoom right — whoosh — and spin on that wheel and be facing the camera. It was brilliant. It was probably the best scene of my career. It didn't make it in.
Fans of both Stewart and McAvoy can hear them perform together in next month's Gnomeo and Juliet, as both actors have lent their voices to the 3-D, CG-animated tale.
