Skip to comments.Evolution's new wrinkle: Proteins with cruise control provide new perspective (DIRECTED MUTATION!)

Their figure 4 still shows that humans and chimps diverged more recently than gorillas and humans or gorillas and chimps.
Your "logical impossibility" is the reality that Biologists must deal with. Humans and chimps are more closely related in DNA than either is to a gorilla.
You have yet to find a source that doesn't end up concluding the exact same thing, as Figure 4 from your latest source shows.
That's the current evolutionary dogma. However, more and more Evo scientists are using the data to draw alternative evolutionary scenarios which show humans diverging from gorillas, and still others that have humans diverging further up with the common ancestor of both chimps and gorillas, with chimps not even being included in the same branch with humans. In other words, human evolution is a subjective mess that is getting worse by the day. And the reason is obvious...life resists evolutionary explanations because God created all life approx. 6,000 years ago, with each creature reproducing after its own kind, just as it is described in the Bible.
Please provide a source for your contention. So far every source you have cited in an attempt to muddy the water has concluded that humans and chimps diverged more recently than any other two primate species; as Figure 4 does.
Can you not see that it, like the earlier paper you sourced, has "T1" (time one) as the branching of chimp and human, and has "T2" (time two) as a greater amount of time showing the branching off of the gorilla group.
You want to find one that branches off humans BEFORE the branching off of chimps and gorillas. One EXACTLY like the one shown, but with "human" and "gorilla" interposed.
Are you smart enough to understand that or should I explain it to you again?
The figure clearly shows that humans and chimps are closer and diverged more recently than either did from gorilla. This is both what the figure shows and what the authors conclude.
You need one that goes like this.....
\** \ ***/
\** \**/
\*** \/

Showing Gorillas and Chimps as more recently diverged from the other than either is from a human. So far you have yet to find a source for such a graph, because the data does not support it.
\** \ ***/
\** \**/
\*** \/
\* /
Are you blind? Take a look at the dashed Tree in A and Tree C. Just admit it, your supposedly water-tight case is leaking like a sieve (just like the rest of the HMS Beagle):
Are you blind? Tree C has humans and gorillas together and the chimps as the odd man out. Only the dotted green line has humans as the odd man out.
If you look at their Figure 5 you will see the proportion of red, green and blue for the sequences they tested. Red is the color that you see, with a bit of green and blue.
Red = (H*C)G, Green = H(C*G), Blue = (H*G)C
If you look at their Table 2 you will find that 76.58% of the sequence supported humans and chimps being closest (red), only 11.46% supported chimps and gorillas being closest (green), and 11.39% supported humans and gorillas being closest (blue).
Also this places 98% of the DNA they tested supporting tree's that put chimps humans and gorillas all closer to each other than any is to an orangutan or a monkey.
Clearly your 'similar body plan = similar DNA" is what is not just sinking but sunk. It never did hold water.
Do you really not see what is obvious to anyone who is not blinded by blind evolution?!?!
In the case of the dotted genetic tree in A, chimps and apes diverged from each other, whereas humans diverged from the common ancestor of all three. In Tree C, apes and humans should be closer to each other. Thus, the Evos cannot make up their mind who came from who, which means your open-and-shut case supposedly establishing a clear lineage from the great apes to humans is about as supportable as the cheerios man with no cheerios.
This was a specific study of genes for elucidation of genetic lineages. Genes are more similar between species, that is why they are not generally used to construct phylogenetic trees and ERV's or pseudogenes are.
The phylogenetic tree they drew was the RED one, the one that agrees with both the genetic and ERV data, the one supported by over 75% of the sequences they tested. The one that appears SEVERAL TIMES IN THIS THREAD, posted by both myself AND you.
That grouping again, for the painfully obtuse, is ((H*C)G)O; human and chimps, gorillas, then orangutans. A human and a gorilla are much more similar to each other than either is to an orangutan and that is supported by 98% of the genetic data. So much for your 'similar body = similar DNA' explanation.
==You keep saying look at that 11%! and ignore the 75%.
I'm saying your fellow Temple of Darwin fanatics can't make up their minds what comes from what, a classic example of Evo confusion. Otherwise, why all the alternative genetic trees?
==Genes are more similar between species, that is why they are not generally used to construct phylogenetic trees and ERVs or pseudogenes are.
First you say ERVs and pseudogenes are open-and-shut cases demonstrating common descent. I went down both those roads with you not knowing anything about either, but proceeding on faith, only to find out that not only did your best evidence not demonstrate common descent, but, praise God almighty, both point to God as the common designer. The same holds true with what you call ultraconserved sequences, hot-shock proeteins, etc, etc...you name it, everything you have pointed to testifies to God's special creation!
Your revisionist history lacks credibility and truth.
Your "logical impossibility" of chimps being closer to humans than to a gorilla (or to an orangutan) is the reality that biologists must deal with.
Your ignorance and selective quotations are the only ragged battle-worn shield you can attempt to use to defend yourself against the truth.
The truth is that EVERY tree you or I have posted has shown chimps and humans as more similar. Every study you or I have posted has concluded that humans and chimps are more similar to each other than either is to a gorilla or orangutan.
==It testifies to God's creation through natural selection of genetic variation.
It testifies to man's vain attempt to explain creation without the Creator. The Bible is quite clear, God created all life forms fully formed and fully functional on days five and six of creation week.
As for the rest, I'm tired of beating a dead horse. If you can't see that your claim that humans and chimps diverged from each other is now in doubt, I must once again conclude that you have been blinded by your incessant need to give mindless materialism the credit for God's wondrous creation.
Do you also maintain, based upon your 'similar body plan = similar DNA' explanation that it is similarly a "logical impossibility" for humans and gorillas to be more similar to each other than either is to an orangutan?
Is it a "logical impossibility" for a husky to be more similar in DNA to a dachshund than it is to a wolf?
Is it a "logical impossibility" for New world and Old world vultures to be less similar in DNA than to cranes or eagles?

In a 4yr range the Classic Tall went from $140 to $209..Are you telling us that the price of raw materials went up $70 for the same shoe?
Has anyone ever shopped for a pair of shoes and that same model went up so much? Bull..
They got greedy and saw the demand and they got away with it. Now they are paying the price for their mistakes.
They thought by raising prices they could make up for short falls every year as the demand went down.
They did this fall all their styles with price increases.
Shame on Martinez and management.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Agree with you man. This is a mismanagement of very few equals in retail sector. How could these bozos don't or didn't see the astronomical built up of inventory. If the raw material prices were rising they should have controlled the inventory even more carefully.
Drunken greedy, inept people running business. Don;t have better words to describe this astronomical failure of the management of DECK. Nasty!
There may be some truth to your accusation that Martinez priced the Ugg brand unreasonably too high.
Now the plan is to discount the Uggs so that the brand sells through at retail, which will hopefully prevent Uggs warehouse, and Uggs retail store account cutsomers, from getting stuck with inventory.
$89 a pair retail would probably motivate consumers to buy enough Uggs to clear out the pipeline.
That kind of discounting would mean Deckers loses significant money . And the Uggs brand name would lose pricing power.

interesting japanese look in the letters
wow, i dont thnk i've ever seen a fanart of Jade. she's cool though, i luv her 'cause she's so spunky. ^^
This was made a while back when I was a bigger Jade fan. I still love her but not nearly as much since JCA kind of took some lame turn plotwise, and it became the "Jade show & friends" //^_^\\
Holy crap, It's Jade... Eh... I don't know what else to say. I just thought I should say something... Nevermind.
Awesome! I'm a big Jade fan. I especially liked adult Jade when she travelled back in time to protect her younger self.
Awww you made he rlook so cute.
Yeah, maybe she's not so annoying, she's too spunky and cute to not love. Thanks guys!
do you take request?
That meddling little martial artist wannabe, she got too much spunk... I love spunk! Awesome pic Green Wiggly!
Jade has been my second favorite Jackie Chan Adventures character, number one was Jackie. Awesome pic.

The 3 year warranty gives me piece of mind from a relatively unknown brand in the memory space.
Cons: Coming on month #4 and no problems!

Great Drive!
This review is from: ADATA XPG SX910 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASX910S3-256GM-C
Pros: Bought this to upgrade a current pc, had a local shop ghost and install, works great!
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: I've bought ADATA drives before and have had a great experience with them; a dual install is still going strong after almost two years of use!

Gov. Cuomo: Our gun law permitted something that doesn't exist, so we're going to kind of pretend it does anyway
**Written by Doug Powers
In late January New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a new, hastily constructed gun control bill. Naturally, oversights have been discovered, and those who passed the law also apparently didn't want to bias themselves by actually learning about the subject they were legislating before voting on it:
In January Gov. Andrew Cuomo managed to pass one of the strictest gun control laws in the country, but now he's making it somewhat less restrictive. While law, which goes into effect on April 15, would have banned the sale of magazines that hold more than seven rounds of ammunition, the governor announced on Wednesday that he's working with legislators to make purchasing 10-round magazines legal in New York. "There is no such thing as a seven-bullet magazine," Cuomo explained. "That doesn't exist. So you really have no practical option."
That one paragraph demonstrates why Cuomo should now be the last person to continue recommending "practical options," but of course he didn't see it that way. So what's the fix? "New York gun owners, please pretend your ten bullet magazine only holds seven bullets":
Cuomo downplayed the revision, saying it merely addresses a few "ambiguities" and "grammatical errors." The law passed in January includes an exemption for the use of 10-round magazines at firing ranges and in competitions, but buying the magazines is banned. The new language will allow 10-round magazines to continue to be sold in New York, but it will be illegal to load more than seven rounds into those magazines.
And if this doesn't work out, Cuomo may add a "Fife provision" to the law. Gun owners would still be required to load no more than seven bullets into their ten bullet magazines but they could apply for a separate permit to carry the other three bullets in their shirt pockets.
Somewhere a lightbulb just went off over Michael Bloomberg's head to make his proposal "less restrictive": You can have your 24 ounce cup — you just can't put more than 16 ounces of soda in it.
Note: Jacob Sullum at Reason.com points out that seven round magazines do in fact exist, but they're not standard.

I am using carrierwave to upload images to amazon s3. This works great on development, but not when I push it to my server (engineyard cloud trial).
The process works fine, no errors are thrown, and a link is given back. However, the actual image is corrupted, somehow.
Here's one, for example: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ZenBucket/uploads/goal/photo/30/guinness-toucan.jpg
Can anyone tell me how it's being corrupted, or what could be doing it?
Edit: The first image upload attempt after deploying always seems to fail 500, but the error doesn't show in the log. Not sure if that's relevent.
Edit2: Also seems to be occurring with dragonfly gem instead of carrierwave.

Hot answers tagged interpretation
As is the case with many classical pieces of absolute music, the subtitle of this piano sonata was not attributed by the composer. (See also the Chopin preludes and etudes -- he saw his music expressly as non-programmatic, but many of these pieces have gained "nicknames" such as "Revolutionary", "Winter Wind" from performers and listeners over the years.) ...
This is very much a matter of taste. You emphasize different things and get different interpretations. Others may love it, others may hate it. The most important thing is that it "works", but it can work in so many different ways. Just as an example, there's a temporary change of key in the section with the repeated bass notes. Say you want to emphasize the ...
Even if I would not take the late Karajan as a reference for this, you are right, the first time of each bars of a Wiener Waltzer is almost always played short, usually the leading voice is even slighter in advance than the bass when the melody is written on 3 quarter notes. This can be approximated as removing 1/6th of the first time and adding it in ...
The written notes actually miss a lot of information. If you would write down every little tempo change, every little accent, small and large scale rubato, microdynamics, articulations, etc. etc., the score would be impossible to read, and it would probably still miss something. What the composer writes down is just a skeleton of the piece and the most ...
Since I have been studying and living in Austria as a South African music student I have had several opportunities to play waltzes in orchestras. Especially New Years concerts consist of a couple of famous Viennese Waltzes and since the first time I had to play one of these, I have also been fascinated by this interesting rhythmical appearance. Being both ...
This depends on the piece of music (genre, style), not to mention what the composer may have wanted. Some pizzicatos are meant to be plucked simultaneously while others are basically strummed -- and in the latter case sometimes from top to bottom! There are notations such as vertical arrows which can indicate the strum direction.
My music history professor stated flat out that Handel's English text setting was just plain bad because of his poor understanding of the language, and this was his Exhibit A. There is also the Golf Song: "FORE! Unto us a child is born!" I think he could have done better: "All WE, like SHEEP, like SHEEP have gone astray" but that's just my opinion. ...
The general way to emphasize a single note in a chord is to shift the weight of your hand over the finger playing the note you want to emphasize. This can be achieved by a slight rotation of your wrist. I don't see why it wouldn't work in your situation.
About Chopin's fourth Ballade: Most of the piece is on a quaver unit and fast (con moto) but ritenuto are frequent. Listening to several great pianists (such as Christian Zimmerman, Piotr Anderszewski, Luganski ...) they play the piece at approximately 130 semiquavers by minute. This series of chords at bar 203 is preceded by a vigorous series of chords ...
This will always be subjective, but I'd say subtle tempo changes are probably best (and yes, I'm aware that's a subjectively interpreted answer in itself!) You want to demonstrate an awareness of the tempo changes, you want to give the listener the sense of that tempo change, but without taking it to extremes. Practice until you have control over the tempo ...
Is Beethoven's title "Sonata quasi una Fantasia" an oxymoron, and does the title instruct how to perform it?
The other one in the same opus is also a "Sonata quasi una Fantasia" and is more obviously one. It doesn't break down cleanly into movements but appears to start a movement, suddenly go into another one, and then come back to the first one again. A "Fantasia", for instance one of Mozart's, has a kind of "anything goes" improvisatory feel, where a ...
One useful way of looking at it is that the orchestra is a single musical instrument, and the conductor is the player, playing the orchestra. While the notes and durations are written on the sheets, the conductor indicates to the musicians the exact timing and articulations of important melodies. Sections that have long rests may receive a cue when they ...
Place your fingers on the chord but raise your finger over the B flat flat. As you bring your hands down to play the other notes, play the high note simultaneously. Because of the extra finger motion, you will play that note a little louder.
You just play all the notes at the right time and do what pianists call "legato pedalling". Ask one to show you. Much easier to demonstrate than describe. Any recording of Gymnopedie will show you what the result sounds like.
I cannot say whether there are documents that address whether Handel thought of a double meaning in his setting of this text. The accent on the word "we" does seem a bit strange. Like you, I've heard the story that Handel's grasp of the finer points of English pronunciation may have been slightly lacking (after all he was raised in Germany, and studied in ...
Your score should ideally contain all of the information necessary for a professional musician to sightread the piece properly on the first try. By "properly," we just mean that they understand the basic techniques they need to execute to convey the idea of what you want. If you don't care what they do, then don't include markings! And to the contrary, there ...
I think this depends purely on you. If you want to write a song that you want to be played the way you hear it in your head, you have to add markings; otherwise, you can let the musicians play it the way they feel. The latter would be really difficult in an orchestra; this is why the orchestra scores usually have a lot of markings, whilst the small ones can ...
You're right, it is accented and shorter. The notes should be extremely separated and distinct.
Speaking as a recovering percussionist and as a conductor, it is important to note that the methods used to talk descriptively about beat placement have two contradictory qualities: They come from a very modern and commercial worldview. I use the term commercial to refer specifically to the advent of electronic recording techniques and more specifically to ...
This is specific to a city, Vienna. I have heard it called "Wiener Blut", i.e. "Viennese Blood". "Put more Wiener Blut into it," a teacher once said to me.
Any piece can actually be performed in an incredibly wide variety of ways, and the controller of style, flow, feeling, pace etc is the conductor. Generally the conductor is considered the most important person in an orchestra once the skill level of the individual musicians is high enough.
Conscious voice training and feedback will help you immensely. Try video recording yourself trying to sing with different accents. Really accentuate the movement of your lips,tongue and cheeks so you can see the effect. Memorise these different movements- visually at first, then the feeling. Now try the song again, and when you feel yourself skipping ...
Is Beethoven's title "Sonata quasi una Fantasia" an oxymoron, and does the title instruct how to perform it?
When you listen to it, does it feel like a sonata? Or does it feel a little bit looser, with a wee bit of unstructured-ness about it. That's what I always read into it, anyway: a hint of the fantasy, as well as a hint of the fantastic.
In the Viennese Waltz, the second beat is slightly anticipated. This is a particular characteristic of the Viennese Waltz. When conducting such waltzes, conductors generally only indicate each bar rather than each beat. The timing is roughly as if the beats are triplets with the second beat syncopated.

Tallahassee signed a deal to turn your everyday garbage into electricity. It's expected to cost less to produce and eventually roll over to your electricity bill.
In the next few years your home may be powered by your trash. Tallahassee signed a 30-year contract with Green Power Systems. The group will fire up garbage, which turns into a fuel source, emission-free.
"We're always looking for opportunities to do something innovative and this opportunity came to us right at the time we've been pursuing renewable energy resources," said David Byrne, director for the city's Energy Services Department.
The group will need garbage from the entire Big Bend to make it work. They're working out a deal with Leon County to get it going.
It's good news for residents and businesses that go through a lot of junk.
"We filled that one there yesterday and dumped it last night and it'll be full by the time we get done again today," said Roy Wilson, a roofer for a local contractor.
"I think it would be smart, instead of making these landfills," said Justin Maynard, an FSU Student. "If you go to south Florida, you see them everywhere."
Unlike other biomass plants, this one can take e-garbage, that's things such as old computers and TV sets. The city says the best part about the project is it's entirely risk-free. The only thing they have to pay for is the energy the plant produces, which is twenty percent cheaper than the city's current price. It's expected to provide up to 10 percent of Tallahassee's electricity.
A location in Leon County hasn't been chosen yet for the plant. It's expected to be operating by fall 2010.

Paris, 18th of November 2011 – Nicolas Sarkozy is attempting a sleight of hand at today's G8/G20 Forum d'Avignon on culture, economy and the media: posing as the defender of digital culture and the Internet. La Quadrature du Net reminds of his disastrous record, and calls on citizens to judge by themselves with the upcoming votes in the Council of the EU and the European Parliament, in particular on the anti-counterfeiting ACTA agreement.
Paris, November 17th, 2011 – The European Parliament today massively adopted its resolution on Net neutrality, calling on the EU Commission to protect the open Internet, which is put at risk by an increasing number of restrictions imposed by telecoms operators. This overall positive resolution urges EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes to depart from her failed wait-and-see approach by rapidly assessing the need for further regulation to keep the Internet open and free. This votes represent a political commitment by the European Parliament to protecting the Internet from any form of restriction or censorship.
Paris, November 16th, 2011 - In a letter sent to the United States House of Representatives, La Quadrature du Net joins leading civil society organisations from across the world to denounce the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill. SOPA aims to create global censorship of the Internet in the name of an obsolete copyright regime. If this dangerous piece of legislation were to pass in the US, it would become the global norm in the war on culture sharing, with the Anti-counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) as a vehicle. As the European Union starts debating the ratification of ACTA, citizens must mobilize to defend their freedoms by calling for the rejection of such ruthless online repression.
Paris, November 9th, 2011 — In discussions on the future of wireless communications policies, the EU Parliament is giving in to Member States by accepting a watered-down version1 of the Radio Spectrum Policy Programme. Last Spring, the Parliament had made very constructive proposals in favour of open spectrum policies, calling2 for citizen-controlled wireless communications. Sadly, the first major effort to harmonise spectrum policy in Europe is being held back by EU governments' conservatism and the Parliament's surrender.
Paris, 04 November 2011 — "NO to ACTA!", the video published by La Quadrature du Net last week, has been viewed more than one million times. It has become the top rated and most viewed this week in Youtube's "News & Politics" section. Such an impressive welcome illustrates how crucial of a responsibility lies between the hands of the Members of the European Parliament with their upcoming vote on ACTA.
Paris, 2nd of November 2011 — La Quadrature du Net publishes today its response1 to the BEREC consultation2 on "transparency and Net Neutrality".
On the occasion of the Free Culture Forum in Barcelona, La Quadrature du Net releases three films to inform citizens and urge them to take action against ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
Paris, October 20th, 2011 — The "Industry" Committee of the EU Parliament unanimously adopted a resolution on Net neutrality. Through this vote asking the European Commission to promptly assess the need for further legislative action, the Parliament is taking a strong stance in favour of Net neutrality. Pressure now increases on EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes, who may soon be forced to break away with her failed "wait and see" approach and take action.
Brussels, October 19th, 2011 — Negotiations on a weak Net neutrality resolution are coming to an end at the EU Parliament, with the vote taking place tomorrow. After much reluctance, the conservative (EPP) group has finally agreed to endorse a call for a timely assessment of further regulation on Net neutrality. However, the text still includes a major loophole allowing operators to implement Internet access restrictions on the pretext of managing congestion.
Paris, October 17th, 2011 – The European Parliament is finalizing the negotiation of "compromise amendments" to its resolution on Net neutrality. At this point, the weak text binds the Parliament to the failed "wait-and-see" approach of EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes, which amounts to letting operators restrict Internet access to pursue short terms economic goals. The resolution could however bring a proper definition of Net neutrality and increase the pressure on the Commission to investigate telecoms operators' behaviour and take action.
Paris, October 14th, 2011 - The Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris has ordered the blocking of Copwatch Nord-Paris IDF, a website charged by the French government with defaming and putting at risk the safety of police officers.
The European body of telecommunications regulators has launched a consultation on its draft guidelines on "Net neutrality and transparency". Quite shockingly, these guidelines have actually nothing to do with Net neutrality, and instead readily accept that telecom operators can restrict access to the Internet as long as users are informed. They only prove that mere transparency and competition will not prevent operators from violating Net neutrality.
Brussels, October 12th, 2011 - In a ground-breaking opinion on Net neutrality, the European Data Protection Supervisor stresses that restrictions to Internet access inevitably harm privacy. As the European Parliament enters in the final stage of the negotiations on its resolution on Net neutrality, this opinion underlines that the EU Commission's "wait and see" approach is bound to fail and is unjustifiable. Members of the EU Parliament - who will soon hold a crucial vote on the matter - must preserve citizens' privacy by requiring strong regulatory measures to ban discrimination of online communications.
Paris, October 11th, 2011 - As the European Union engages in important discussions on the future of the radio spectrum policy - i.e the future of open wireless communications -, it's becoming clear that national governments are aligned on the position of dominant telecom operators. To protect open wireless communications operated and controlled by citizens, the EU Parliament must resist the pressure and defend its position.
La Quadrature du Net has written to two key committees of the European Parliament regarding the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). As the EU Parliament engages in preparatory works in view of its upcoming consent vote on ACTA, La Quadrature stresses that the Parliament must fully assess the dangers of this agreement for innovation, competition and competitiveness of EU businesses, but also for human rights.
September 30th, 2011 — Several of the "like-minded" States that negotiated the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) will attend the signing ceremony this Saturday in Tokyo1. The European Parliament, which will have the final word, will now face its key responsibility towards European citizens: will it accept a text that forces new broadly applicable criminal sanctions, deeply impacting fundamental freedoms, innovation and competition? Will it seize the opportunity to reject once and for all a text that was negotiated outside democratic arenas?
Paris, 29 September, 2011 — The European Parliament's proposed resolution on Net Neutrality is very weak and reflects the strong influence of telecom operators. Sadly, even though several tabled amendments aim for real protection of Net neutrality, leading MEPs so far fail to propose enforceable principles to prevent telcos from discriminating online communications. Will the power of lobbyists such as of AT&T override the European Union's objective to protect its citizens' online fredoms?
Paris, September 22nd, 2011 — Civil society groups launched today an online platform to help citizens track Internet access restrictions imposed by telecom companies. This platform, RespectMyNet.eu, will present EU lawmakers with the evidence they keep denying: there is an urgent need to legislate against Net Neutrality violations, which harm fundamental freedoms as well as innovation and competition.
The EU Parliament just started discussing a resolution and oral question to the Commission on Net Neutrality. Make your voice heard to ensure that your EU representatives make a strong commitment for a free and open Internet against pressure from the telecoms industry.
La Quadrature has sent its response to the consultation1 on online gambling organised by the European Commission. Citizens and NGOs should join our effort in urging the EU public authorities to ban any form of website blocking.

This would make a terrific set for one of my book covers. May I use it and credit it to you--and if so, is there a larger sized image (I Like to work big) Thanks for your consideration!
thanks how big are we talking?
1600 by 1600 would be good. It will be a book cover obviously, and books are generally rectangular but the extra width gives me room to place the characters and crop to fit. I am really psyched you got back to me--hope we can collaborate!
pretty work! congratulations for the talent!
I like it.
remind me quakeIII Arena ...wow great time
I see you liked that tutorial too
Very nice, congrats. I'm following this tutorial too, I'll post my render as soon as I'll finish it
This looks very cool. One thing that annoys me is that the grill floor seems to be very large. or maybe the aliens have very big feet
i thought that to but i used a used a human model too measure the scale and it seems alright so might just be perspective
Did you build the floor as a real mesh, or did you use a simple plane with an alpha-texture?
nice render!
Nice work, looks near photo realistic.
Great job!

"Turbo" Achievement Guide
I thought I would offer some help on a level by level basis.
I recommend using a fully upgraded Nite Owl as well as a stop watch to track your progress. Stop the stopwatch when the cut-scenes are on, but leave it on during in-level cut-scenes, just make sure you skip them.
I also recommend a HUGE 15:00 minutes to defeat Underboss, I cannot stress enough how important it is to have plenty of time to defeat this guy in order to avoid risk-taking, and potentially ruining 80 mins of hard work. Whilst it is not impossible to beat him in less than 10 mins, it would certainly not be a favourable time-frame.
In General
If you die, start all over again, that is the only way to unlock this achievement.
In order to beat each level in short time you will need to take on big numbers of enemies at once. You should therefore be very prepared to use counter attack (RB+X) as a means of inflicting minor damage on enemies, when surrounded try and get one heavy attack in (Y) before using the counter attack again.
Repeating the above steps will not inflict a significant amount of damage on the enemies. However, the above is also a means of filling your "Charge" meter. I recommend that you use the special electric attack whenever possible, but in the instance of it turning red in the midst of a one or two enemy fight, it may be more practical to save it until you're faced with a larger number of enemies.
Once Charge is initiated, use the YYY combo to defeat what enemies you can. Grounded enemies should be your first targets.
Finishing moves are slow and costly; ONLY use them when an enemy is grounded.
Level 1 - Sing Sing Prison
Throughout this level, where an instant throwing death is not possible, use the YYXXY combo.
In the first area, the yard where you first land, you must defeat every enemy before the door will open. When the door opens you will enter a prison block. Before fighting any enemies turn right and run down the corridor and then turn left into a small area with flames and a gate you need to lift for Rorschach. Defeat all the enemies in this area. If you're lucky Rorschach would have caught up to you by now. If not, quickly help him clean up remaining enemies and then open the gate for him.
Run quickly through the second yard, bearing left up the stairs. Quickly turn on the generator, skip the cut-scene and run onto the balcony (overlooking the yard you were just in). You have the ability to run right through the balconies and stairs, right to the first guard/lever room at the end of the cell block, however it is very probable that Rorschach would be smothered by enemies, requiring costly back-tracking. I recommend you throw 4-5 enemies over the balcony very quickly to water down his opposition, and then rush to the guard-house and defeat the enemies there. There should only be a minimal bit of backtracking to get Rorschach by your side and the gate opened.
Once opened you will be able to enter a fiery cell block, Rorschach is usually pretty good at handling these enemies, so run to the end of the cell block and defeat all the nearby enemies to open the door in the next room. Then again, run as far as you can until you reach another closed door then defeat all enemies to open it.
Run down into the middle of the next cell block (the one with the 2nd guard/lever room) and defeat all the enemies, back track if necessary to fetch Rorschach and open the gate.
Run through to what appears to be a toilet block and initiate the blast down the corridor. Defeat all the enemies in the toilet block and run to where the explosion came from. Walk over to the large hole and when the cut-scene starts, stop your stopwatch.
Recommended time: 9:30
Level 2 - Path to Rumrunner
This level contains a lot of doors that require opening either by you, or by defeating surrounding thugs. It's best to run straight to these gates and defeat all the enemies, however try and lure the enemies to follow you, otherwise you will run right past them, leaving enemies to swarm Rorschach, requiring costly backtrack. It is much more effective to defeat the enemies yourself.
In the first sections of alleyways, bear left to avoid any gates that you cannot open without Rorschach's lockpick.
When climbing over rooftops you will be required to defeat all enemies in an area before progressing, do this as quickly as possible or throw them off the edges.
The next time you are separated from Rorschach, it will only be for a few seconds. Follow the rooftop path and look for the drop-down to the rum-runner back alley at the end of the barbed wire. Drop down and defeat the enemies here as quickly as possible, run through the open glowing red doorway and stop your timer.
Cumulative time: 20:30
Level 3 - Dockyards
Defeat the first few enemies in the first part where you land and when the gate opens IMMEDIATELY run through it. Do NOT use your Electric Special attack here, save it for later.
Run down the stairs into the dry-dock. Run up the stairs on the other end of the dry-dock and straight towards the shipping containers that block your path. This will initiate a cut-scene which spawns Rorschach next to you and erases all the enemies you just passed.
Run to beneath the crane and unleash your electricity, beating up every enemy and then grappling up to the crane. Try to climb the ladders and quickly as possible and then return to the new path that you have cleared.
Defeat enemies on the wharf and lower the bridge. This will lead you to a very long shipyard. At the end of the shipyard is an area where Rorschach must climb a pipe and open the door for you. You should try your hardest to bait all the enemies into following you as they will swamp Rorschach. It will take a bit of time, but work as hard as you can to defeat all enemies so that Rorschach jumps over.
Soon you will reach an area where Nite Owl must grapple to a ledge in a small building. You will drop down to a small, long yard where you must defeat a small number of enemies in order to be allowed to open the gate for Rorschach. Save your Charge because you will both be swamped once the gate is open. Defeat these enemies in order to open the gate to the next area.
After a large area with lots of enemies you will come to a ship next to a dock you are supposed to walk down. Now is a perfect time to RUN as fast as possible (don't try and lure any enemies). First turn right into the warehouse. Keep going until you enter a large dome with a locked door at the end. Defeat all the enemies and open the gate.
The rest of the level is a simple case of running as far as you can and beating enemies as quickly as you can when you get there. Stop your timer when you reach the dirt path to the Fairground.
Cumulative time: 40:00

Level 4 - The Sewer
Run as fast as you can to the closed gate where the mercenaries will appear for the first time. Defeat them and allow Rorschach through the gate where he will open the adjacent gate for you.
Run as quickly as you can through the level until you reach large open area with pillars with you alone on a balcony, follow the balcony to the right and turn the wheel to open the gate flor Rorsachach. DO NOT go through this gate, as that is the area Rorschach just came from. Make sure you run to the gate at the opposite end of this large, flooded, pillared area. You will be swamped by lots of mercs, use your Charge attacks to defeat them as quickly as possible. Once victorious, Rorschach will open the gate for you after climbing a pole.
Continue through the level until you reach a large area with four gates, two on both sides, and catwalks at the far end of the room. A large wave of mercs will leap from the catwalk, defeat them as quickly as possible and prepare for a second wave. Once defeated, open the gate on the left for Rorschach, and he will in turn open the gate on the right for you.
Run through to the next area and defeat the mercs in order to climb up the ledges, run through the next area as quickly as possible, which involves lots of stairs and bridges over waterways, take care in making sure you are following the correct path. When you reach a gate, defeat all the enemies that have followed you and rush up the stairs and open the gate. Defeat the enemies that arrive to allow you to activate the next lever, opening the second gate.
You will enter a flooded area. Turn right to turn the wheel. It might take Rorschach a while to keep up with you, so when you turn the wheel keep holding (A) until the cut-scene appears. When three wheels have been turned, run down to the bottom, up the central stairs and once at the top, pull the dual levers to open the gate. Pass through this gate and stop your timer.
Cumulative time: 55:00
Level 5 - Police Ambush
Defeat all the cops in the first area so that you can allow Rorschach through the door and then grapple to the roofs, following the path and defeating any enemies.
You will meet up with Rorschach later on the roofs and will be ambushed by many cops at various stages. You will reach a part where a ladder will be inaccessible until you defeat a large wave of cops. Once up this ladder just keep running until you can grapple away from Rorschach again.
Follow the next rooftop pathway until you find yourself back on the street without Rorschach. Keep running until you reach a junction leading to two dead ends. GO STRAIGHT and NOT LEFT, grapple up to the ledge. Be careful no to grapple down once you get there. Now follow the rooftop paths until you reach a street with Rorschach in it. Follow the path past the cops until you reach a narrow dead-end with a closed roller-door, defeat all the enemies and open the door for Rorschach, he will open it for you in return. Run a little further down the path and stop your timer when the level ends.
Cumulative time: 65:00
Level 6 - Underboss
DO NOT PANIC - You will have lots of time and the henchmen are weak, like the prisoners in level 1. USE BLOCK.
DO NOT bother fighting his henchmen at the beginning of the level, just run after Underboss as he criss-crosses up the building. Climb any ladders he climbs and jump any gaps that he jumps.
You will eventually reach a ladder that cannot be climbed until a wave of weak henchmen is defeated. SAVE UP YOUR CHARGE for the last few enemies or until you have climbed the ladder. You will then have your first melee encounter. One or two attacks with the electrified YYXXY combo will send him running to the next section. Here he will unleash another wave of henchmen whilst attacking you.
I strongly advise you use counter attacks on henchmen to build up your Charge and to avoid attacks by Underboss. Make sure you block whenever he swings at you. When you have enough charge, attack him again with an electrified YYXXY combo to send him up another ladder, where he will pick up a pole as a weapon.
You will probably not have charge now, so be careful to block when he swings the pole at you. He won't have any henchmen so it will be easy to get in a couple of YYXXY combos and send him onto the suspended pipes where he will activate the flamethrower.
It is important that you now take your time and think clearly. There is no rush, you should by now have 8 minutes (or more) to take your time and avoid being killed. You do not need to go anywhere near his flames.
First, note that henchmen will be dropping down from ether end of the catwalk, confine yourself to one end and keep using counter attacks or YY attacks on the henchmen as a means of boosting your Charge and replenishing health.
When you have some Charge (flashing red), throw (B) a henchman directly at the pipes that Underboss is standing on. He will lose his balance and jump down to join the action. DO NOT be near where he lands, activate your charge and lay into him with a couple of electrified YYXXY attacks until he leaps back onto the pipes.
Simply repeat the last couple of paragraphs until the pipes break. Underboss now has no other option but to face you head on. By now you should have some charge and his health should be very low. Activate charge, YYXXY and he will be finished in a flash, and you will have the achievement.
It took me 75 mins to complete the game
In some instances Rorschach will stand idle, it will only take a very quick and dedicated effort to push him into the next area in order for him to activate and resume normal play. This is not necessarily a death sentence, so do not panic, this happened to me on my successful Turbo attempt in level 3. It depends on how lucky you are and on how fast you are to act.
DO NOT expect to get this achievement first time through. If you fail, take a deep breath. You will simply fly through the next attempt because you will remember your mistakes, leaving more time to fight Underboss. It took me 3.5 attempts to unlock Turbo.
Please post any times you achieve for each level, particularly if they improve on my recommendations.

Great guide. It helped me a lot to get this achievement which I think is the hardest out of both Watchmen games. Here's some things I'd like everyone to know.
Pausing is allowed. I can 100% say this as I paused and took about a 30 minute break and came back to finish the game to unlock the achievment.
I don't know if doing finishing moves really hurt your time that much, I say this because for the first 3 levels I was using a bunch of finishing moves and then I read this post and from the op suggestion, I stopped using the finishers. When I beat the game, I was overtime by 2:30, but to my surprise, the achievement popped. I don't know why, but I can assume that maybe when you do the finishing moves, it slows down the clock as your fighting becomes slowmo when you pull off a finisher. Thoughts??
As far as the bathroom scene on the first level, Here's what happened to me. I ran in, beat up a few guys, then the explosion happened. I then thought to myself, "Run to the end of the level." I ran to the end, but it did not end the level, I thought "crap! I gotta backtrack now." But when I turned around there was one enemy right behind me, I beat him up and the level ended.
I did not think I was going to be getting this achievement on the 1st try, but I did. I was running way way behind schedule and I lost a lot of time on the sewers. By the time I was at the final boss, I only had 6 or 7 minutes to do it in, I thought I was screwed, but I went through it anyways.
Tips I'd like to add:
*Just keep going even if you think you are running long on time, you might be surprised and unlock the achievment anyway.
*don't have to use finisher combos. I never figured out how to use them properly, I just used YYY most of the time.
*If you are only down to 1 or 2 guys from a group, but they just keep countering your attacks (very annoying) and you are loosing a lot of health, use your charge to save you even if it means using it with only 2 guys around. You don't want to risk dying. Stay alive at all costs.
*When fighting Underboss at the top of the tower with the pipes he jumps to, after he uses the flame thower once and enemies start appearing, you throw an enemy to knock Underboss off the pipes, beat up Underboss, but keep some enemies around if possible. Once he jumps back to the pipes, immediately grab an enemy and throw him at the pipes. Do this before Underboss can even use his flame thrower. Keep repeating this till he's dead. You'll save a lot of time and he'll never get a chance to use his flame thrower on you again, he will only use it the first time.
I hope my extra tips help anyone reading this. This is probably the most annoying achievement I've done in a while, but it is definately doable. Just know where you need to be going and run, run, run to the next group of baddies to beat up. Thanks to the Op of this thread. You helped me to get this achievment and for that I am grateful.

Thank you so much...got 78 minutes with your guide.
This was extremely helpful and should definitely be a sticky.
(Had to do it 3 times but it was just because my xbox froze on the first 2 attempts due to too many enemies on the screen at once)
