Famous Replay: Virot2's Impossible Tinker Victory
1.20e, 6.27b, -AP
Uploaded for all to enjoy and to preserve some history. Virot2 was the guy that inspired me to start playing Tinker way back in the day. When I watched this replay, I knew that Tinker was special. Although Virot2 has stopped playing Tinker and DotA altogether, I hope that this replay continues to be watched. If Virot2 could see the buffs that Tinker has gotten over the years, he would be so proud.
Virot2's old/outdated Tinker Guide: http://trinigamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4269

Original replay description from Virot2:
The Big One- if you hear someone talking about a Tinker replay on the forums, they probably mean this. This replay has a long thread in the Replays forum, found here. Here is my description from there:
(Virot2 @ Feb 20 2006, 06:39 PM)
Picture this:
-It's 80 min into the game, 4v4
-The game score is 21-50, and every hero on the Sentinel team has a negative record
-The Scourge have lost 5 towers, the Sentinel 8 (including two base towers)
-The entire Scourge team has godly items:
--- Drow has Burize, Butterfly, and Stygian
--- Stealth Assassin has MKB, Sange & Yasha, and Heart
--- Axe has Heart, Aegis, and a Reaver
--- Zeus has BoT, Refresher, and Aghanim's
-The best hero the Sentinel has is a Tinker with 2-6.
See if you can guess who wins the game, then watch the replay and be amazed.
1. Tinker goes Eul's as first major item (old Eul's before remake)
2. Tinker gets a 36 minute Boots of Travel
3. (fill in later)

Re: Famous Replay: Virot2's Impossible Tinker Vict
it is one of the best replay i ever seen . when we got killed like ATM, and when the enemy pushing the base sooo hard . and when the allies are ATM too . it can still possible to win . thats very impresive replay .
i can one lesson from this replay . that, bad frag of K/D/A is not very important . the very important think is that you can make your team win and have fun with them, and also, everything have chance to win . nothing impossibel in DotA . it is the most important think i got from here .

Re: Famous Replay: Virot2's Impossible Tinker Vict
What Winkie has not quite conveyed in his otherwise excellent description of this replay, is that no one had ever seen anyone play Tinker like this. It was a hero that had a strong early game, but no one had figured out how to unleash his late game potential, until Virot2 showed us in the most dramatic way possible.
Everybody was blown away, as much for the impossible return from an apparently lost cause as by the way it was done. That was a very exciting time for this forum, when new strats would be found, showcased, and discussed with passion.

WAILUKU - Some of Maui's few remaining World War II nisei veterans gathered in Wailuku on Sunday afternoon with family and friends for an annual memorial to remember Maui's fallen soldiers of the 100th Infantry Battalion and 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
The service is held on the Sunday closest to Sept. 29 - the day in 1943 when Sgt. Shigeo "Joe" Takata died in Italy as the first 100th Battalion soldier to be killed in action.
The nonprofit Maui's Sons and Daughters of the Nisei Veterans hosted the service at the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center in Wailuku, where large displays held photos of the dozens of fallen nisei, or second-generation Japanese-American soldiers, from Maui. About 75 people attended.
Article Photos
The service included a floral tribute, in which single carnation, protea and other blossoms were placed in vases as each of the names of the fallen Maui nisei soldiers were read.
"We're very proud of you and your fallen comrades . . . We owe much to you and the fallen," Janna Hoehn, the event's guest speaker, told the audience. "But how do you begin to repay one for sacrifices of war? By remembering and paying respect to all the brave men of the 100th and 442nd who made the supreme sacrifice."
Hoehn is a volunteer with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, the nonprofit that built the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., known as The Wall. The memorial contains more than 58,000 names, including 276 from Hawaii, who were killed in action.
Hoehn has been raising funds to help establish the Education Center at The Wall, which will include photographs and stories of all the fallen troops.
She said that she spent six months collecting photos of all 42 service members from Maui County who died in Vietnam. She created a display of the 42 photos and shared it over the weekend at a booth at the Maui Fair.
Hoehn said work will start next month on building the education center at the National Mall in Washington and is expected to be completed in two years.
"While it's a different war, the more I listened to Janna, her message to people is that we cannot forget," Leonard Oka, vice president of Maui's Sons and Daughters, said of the decision to invite Hoehn as the event's guest speaker. "We always got to remember that we cannot forget the fallen."

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Tracy McGrady scored 23 points and seldom-used Cory Alexander keyed a decisive second-half run as the Orlando Magic defeated the Dallas Mavericks 95-81 Monday night.
Darrell Armstrong had 21 points and Charles Outlaw added 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Magic, who gained a measure of revenge after blowing an 11-point fourth-quarter lead to the Mavericks and losing 115-106 in overtime Jan. 18.
Orlando trailed by six points with 1:56 remaining in the third quarter but outscored Dallas 21-2 over the next seven minutes. Alexander keyed the run with seven of his season-high nine points, including back-to-back baskets in the closing seconds of the third quarter.
The Mavericks missed eight of nine shots and four consecutive free throws during Orlando's run.
Dallas shot just 2-of-16 in the final period and scored a season-low 12 points.

Enjoy Relaxation Treatment at Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center
Grant from Boca Raton Community Hospital Addresses Needs of Those Caring for Individuals with Memory Loss
BOCA RATON , FL (January 11, 2008) – Florida Atlantic University's Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center hosted SPA Day, a result of a grant from the Boca Raton Community Hospital. SPA Day recently provided 30 men and women who take care of loved ones with memory loss the opportunity to enjoy a day of relaxation treatment at the Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center.
Called the SPA Day, which is short for Self Preservation Activities, participants received an overview of the importance of caring for the caregiver before participating in a variety of relaxation techniques. Experts were on hand to give hands-on instruction for yoga, massage and Reiki. They also watched videos on the benefits of acupressure, sleep, and deep breathing.
"Caregivers often risk emotional, physical, and financial burdens. It is hard enough to watch a spouse slowly lose memory. On top of this, the caregivers may be dealing with driving issues or taking over the responsibilities of household management that had been shared with their spouses before the illness ," said Denise Sparks, PhD, who is the interim administrator for the Memory and Wellness Center. "Relaxation techniques and support tactics that are specifically designed for the caregiver ultimately benefit everyone involved."
The Memory and Wellness Center of the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing , located on Florida Atlantic University's Boca Raton campus, offers year-round Sustaining the Caregiver activities, which are a complimentary series of programs and services tailored to the needs of those caring for individuals with memory loss. Made possible through a grant from Boca Raton Community Hospital , the Center offers counseling, care consultations, support groups, educational presentations, relaxation and yoga classes, a caregiver research library, and internet access for research.
For more information, call 561-297-0502 or visit www.fau.edu/memorywellnesscenter.com.
Florida Atlantic University's Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing is committed to nurturing the wholeness of persons and environment through Caring.
The Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center, located on FAU's Boca Raton campus, offers a wide range of services and programs to individuals with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.
Florida Atlantic University opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida.

It snowed yesterday but still some good fishin

Posts: 0
Welcome to NW PA were the weather can change quickly and it did. But we did have a few days of some good fishing, before this snow moved in. according to the weather man, it should be back up in the high 50s by the beginning of next week. The driving may not be the best but the reports I am hearing are the fishing is still pretty good. There are reportedly a good number of fish in all the creeks, and the anglers seem to be using just about everything for bait depending on the time of day. The average size on ElK Creek are about 8 pounders with a report of a 15 pounder being caught. Steve Bruger from Lake Erie Ultimate Angler says the numbers have never been better. The lake has been way to rough to get on but there are fish being taken out of the bay area. Most of the steelhead are further inland and the perch fishing is good at the North, East and West piers. Until the lines start freezing keep the bait flying and the steelhead jumpin.

by Richard Lockridge
The first victim in this murder mystery set on Broadway is a 60ish star who has just opened in a play. Later, the old actor's manservant gets his head bashed in. Author Lockridge and his late wife, Frances, wrote 26 Mr. and Mrs. North mysteries, and he has more than 60 other books to his credit. This time, however, his New York cop hero, Lt. Nathan Shapiro, is uninspired and vague, and the solution to the murders is positively perfunctory. Lockridge does, however, provide a lovingly detailed description of his favorite Manhattan backdrops, especially the uniquely civilized ambience of the Algonquin Hotel lobby.

Security is a key aspect of software engineering. Authentication, authorization, privacy, integrity, and non-reputation are the major security components of software or a software-based solution working over the network. Out of these, authentication is one of the most important components. As defined, authentication is proving who you are. There are various authentication methods in UNIX systems, like password-based authentication, authentication using smart cards, authentication based on biometric technology, and more being practiced. These authentications over the network are exercised using various security mechanisms. SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer / Transport Layer Security Version 1.0, RFC 2246) and Kerberos (The Kerberos Network Authentication Service (V5), RFC 1510) are a few of the many security mechanisms used for authentication over the network. AIX® has an integrated login support for Kerberos. Solutions and softwares targeted for industries like finance, banking, and insurance have very stringent security requirements. To meet these stronger security needs, either multi-layer authentication or multifactor authentication or combinations of both are used. Most of the solutions exercising multifactor as well as multi-layer authentication make use of the same underlying network security mechanism. This is a risk, especially when addressing stronger security requirements.
This article discusses the risks associated with systems using the same network security mechanism for multifactor or multi-layer authentication. It states the need to have solutions built using multi-security mechanisms with multifactor authentication. This article also introduces the Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSS-API), available on AIX and other UNIX operating systems, and proposes it as a suitable option for achieving the multi-security mechanism clubbed with multifactor authentication.
Industry requirements for stronger authentication over wire
Communicating electronically has become essential for all industrial sectors, including healthcare, telecom, pharmacy, retail, finance, and more. Throughout the world, almost all of these industries have their own tailor-made software-based systems and solutions that network their clients and business partners together. Security plays a vital role for all these systems and is especially important to the finance sector.
Fancial institutions are exposed to a higher risk from security breaches than companies in other sectors, as the transactions carried out by financial organizations are mostly based on money and hence of greater value and interest. Thus, generally they are the target for prolonged and determined attacks. Therefore, financial institutions working in the domain of banking, insurance, asset management, and stock markets have to meet external stringent requirements to safeguard all the electronic data being processed by their applications. They have to design and implement software solutions and applications that meet these tight security requirements. In other words, the systems need to ensure a high level of security compliance. As stated by the FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council) in its financial institution letter (FIL-103-2005, October 12, 2005) titled Authentication in an Internet Banking Environment, "The risks of doing business with unauthorized or incorrectly identified persons in an Internet banking environment can result in financial loss and reputation damage through fraud, disclosure of consumer information, corruption of data, or unenforceable agreements." The letter clarifies the importance of authentication over the wire by highlighting that the "risk assessments should provide the basis for determining an effective authentication strategy according to the risks associated with the various products and services available to on-line customers" (for details see the Resources section). Thus, establishing robust identity management processes to achieve authentication and authorization is one of the key aspects to successfully compile a secure software solution.
Security needs for distributed solutions are not only confined to the finance sector, but are equally vital to other industrial domains like telecom, healthcare, pharmacy, and more, which also require highly secure solutions. Hence, to meet the ever-growing need for secure systems over UNIX, most of the offerings have opted for multifactor and multi-layered (step-up) authentication over single-factor authentication methodology, which may not provide sufficient protection.
In the proposed design for a two-factor authentication system , you can make use of Kerberos for the first-factor authentication and then make use of the Kerberos infrastructure (using the GSS-API interface) to securely achieve the second-factor authentication using the One-Time Password (OTP) token. In this way, you achieve a secure two-factor authentication wherein the Kerberos protocol plays a dual role.
Multifactor and multi-layer authentication
In multifactor authentication, the authenticity of an identity is verified and validated using more than one validation mechanism. Two-factor authentication (T-FA) is one of the well-known forms of multifactor authentication. Typically, a two-factor authentication implementation uses "something you know" (a password) as one of the two factors, and uses either "something you have" (a physical device) or "something you are" (a biometric such as a fingerprint) as the other factor. A common example of T-FA is a bank card (credit card, debit card); the card itself is the physical "something you have" item, and the personal identification number (PIN) is the "something you know" (password) that is associated with it.
Multifactor authentication is generally used by systems to create a higher degree of security in order to mitigate the risk from criminals. Hence, it is generally preferred for solutions targeted for financial and related industries. Often people tend to consider multi-layer authentication as a synonym to multifactor authentication. However, there is a clear line of differentiation between multifactor authentication and multi-layer authentication.
Multifactor authentication itself can be layered. In multi-layer authentication, the authentication levels denote whether additional authentication is necessary to access a protected object. This means that an additional authentication step is required in order to access resources that require more restrictive-access policies.
Multi-layer authentication can be considered similar to step-up authentication defined by IBM® Tivoli® Access Manager for e-business. In traditional multi-layered authentication, the system is layered into sub-components where access to certain sub-components require valid authentication to the base component plus additional authentication information confined to that particular sub-component, generally using the same validation mechanism. For example, in a banking system that implements multi-layer authentication, its users are required to enter a user name and password (something the user knows) to log into the system, which is the basic authentication for this system. The base authentication allows users to carry out basic tasks like viewing previous transactions. But, if the users wants to carry out certain transactions (like transferring money), then in addition to the basic authentication, the user is also required to enter a "transaction password" (which is again "something the user knows," unlike in multifactor authentication) to be eligible to carry out the transaction.
Multifactor authentication together with multi-layer authentication provides a more secure solution than traditional single password authentication.
The need for multi-security mechanisms with multifactor authentication
Despite its advantages, most of the solutions exercising multifactor as well as multi-layer authentication make use of the same underlying network security mechanisms. This is a problem, especially when addressing stronger security requirements. For example, most of the Web-based systems for banking domains implementing a basic two-factor authentication scheme either use SSL/TLS or HTTPS protocol (Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol, RFC 2660) as the underlying network security mechanism.
To successfully log into such systems, the end user is typically required to:
- Submit the correct password (where the authentication information required is something that one should know). This forms the first factor of the authentication.
- Submit the last four digits of the user's ATM card number (where the authentication information required is something that one has). This forms the second factor of the two-factor authentication, where it is assumed that only the user will have access to his ATM card.
In these cases, the two-factor authentication makes the system more secure as, in order to hack the system, the malicious user not only has to guess the user's password, but also needs to have access to the user's ATM card to know its numbers. This sounds secure. But the point to note is that in both the factors (of the two-factor authentication), the system makes use of the same underlying security mechanism (SSL/TLS/HTTPS) for network authentication. This brings up a few questions: What if a malicious user hacks the underlying security mechanism itself? What if a hacker discovers a vulnerability in the security mechanism that allows him to break through the authentication without the need to know the required user's authentication information? What if someone exploits some unknown limitations of the security mechanism to break through? And, since both the factors in the two-factor authentication make use of the same underlying security mechanisms for network authentication, the advantages of having dual authentication is totally negated. This is a risk and an area of concern for systems where there is a need for highly secure solutions.
To tackle this problem, here is one proposed approach. The systems implementing multifactor authentication should make sure that they use different underlying security mechanisms for different factors. This will drastically reduce the stated risk. So, for example, if a two-factor authentication with the first factor making use of Kerberos as its underlying network security mechanism while the second factor makes use of LIPKEY (A Low Infrastructure Public Key Mechanism using SPKM, RFC 2847) or NTLM (NT LAN Manager, a Microsoft® authentication protocol) as the underlying network security mechanism, then the stated risk is reduced as the chances for a malicious user to break two totally different security mechanism are reduced. This contributes towards strengthening the overall system security by declining the stated risk. The same holds true for systems implementing multi-layer authentication instead of multifactor authentication.
The option of Generic Security Service Application Program Interface
The Generic Security Service Application Program Interface, referred to as GSS-API, as defined in [RFC-2743] (see the Resources section), provides security services to callers in a generic fashion, supportable with a range of underlying mechanisms and technologies and hence allowing source-level portability of applications to different environments. It is a set of programming interfaces that abstracts identity authentication, message origin authentication and integrity, and message confidentiality. Thus, a secure application developed using GSS-API can work over different security mechanisms without changes to the application. Typically in GSS-API, a secure connection between two communicating applications is represented by a data structure called a security context. The application that establishes the secure connection is called the context initiator. The application that accepts the secure connection is the context acceptor. The context establishment between the initiator and the acceptor is actually a handshake process, which involves authenticating both the parties. On successful establishment of GSS-API context, it can be concluded that the user identification of the communicating parties have been successfully verified.
The UNIX distributed filesystem, Network File System Version 4 (NFS v4), makes use of GSS-API for its on-wire security (see the Resources section). Almost all UNIX operating systems, including AIX, support and provide GSS-API. IBM Network Authentication Service for AIX Version 1.4 exports GSS-API, which can be used for secure solutions over AIX. GSS-API has been on the market for quite some time with most of its offerings supporting only the secret-key security mechanism, namely Kerberos. Because of this limitation, GSS-API has not been potentially used. But, NFS v4 mandates the use of newer mechanisms like SPKM (Simple Public Key Mechanism) and LIPKEY (Low Infrastructure Public Key Mechanism), and is expected to be available on UNIX systems using GSS-API. Hence, application programmers should become aware of the benefits of GSS-API and consider using it for the security aspects of their applications. Some implementations of GSS-API, like the Microsoft's SSPI (Security Support Provider Interface), already have support for multiple security mechanisms like NTLM, Kerberos, and SSL. Architects, who see the requirement to make their applications operate in multiple security infrastructure environments, would benefit by exploring the GSS-API framework as opposed to directly using the mechanism-specific APIs in their applications.
You can use the GSS-API framework with multifactor authentication to achieve a multi-security mechanism with multifactor authentication. This combination helps reduce the risks associated with systems exercising multifactor authentication solutions using the same underlying security mechanism. With GSS-API, these systems can be designed to make use of different underlying security mechanisms for different factors of the multifactor authentication. Using GSS-API, you can explicitly state the underlying security mechanism that the application wants to exercise for authentication by simply specifying the correct mechanism-specific object identifier (OID) during the GSS-API handshake process. So, for example, in a system implementing two-factor authentication, the developer can pass a specific security mechanism OID (for example, Kerberos) to GSS-API for the first-factor authentication and on success can then reinitiate the GSS-API authentication handshake with a different security mechanism OID (for example, LIPKEY) for the second factor authentication. Since the Kerberos mechanism (which is based on pure symmetric key technology) is distinctly different from the LIPKEY mechanism (which is based on both symmetric as well as asymmetric key technology), it will be that much harder for the malicious user to break through both the mechanisms to hack the system. Hence, such a system will mitigate the risk associated with the use of single-security mechanisms in both the factors in a two-factor authentication.
Figure 1 shows that IT architects designing highly secure systems over UNIX using two-factor authentication can make use of the GSS-API framework to explicitly have two different security mechanisms for dual-factor authentication. In order to break through such a system, the malicious user needs to explicitly hack two distinctly different security mechanisms, as opposed to a single security mechanism, thus ensuring a higher degree of security.

IBM Network Authentication Service Version 1.4 for AIX is available with the AIX Expansion Pack CD or can be downloaded from IBM AIX Web Download Pack Programs (see Resources).
This article discussed the importance of security in general and authentication in particular. It also highlighted the fact that despite being more secure, multifactor authentication is exposed to security risks if implemented with a single underlying security mechanism. It states the need to have a multi-security mechanism combined with multifactor authentication for enhanced security. Finally, it recommends the use of GSS-API (available with most UNIX operating systems like AIX) to help achieve readiness to incorporate newer security mechanisms.

Five Interesting Things to Do with Filters
Note: Tutorial created using Adobe Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS X.
Did you know that you have a virtual playground in Photoshop within the Filters Gallery and the Filters Menu? There are so many fun and interesting effects that can take your photos from drab to fab! Filters not only work great on photos, but alphas, embellishments, and papers as well.
You will find this playground at the very top of your Photoshop window, just click on Filter and a drop-down menu will appear. You can jump into the Filters Gallery which allows you to play with the settings and see a preview of the filter on your photo.
You can add artistic effects with Sponge, Watercolor, Colored Pencil, Palette Knife, Cut-Out Filters, and so much more!
You can add a blurred effect with one of several filters including Gaussian, Lens, Radial, Motion, and more.
But here's a very important point to remember: Always work on a copy of your original photo. Never make changes to your original photo.
Let's take some of the filters for a test drive!
First, make a duplicate copy of your photo in your Layers Palette by hitting Ctrl+J (or Cmd+J on Mac).
Let's add contrast to our photo with a little softness around the edges by adding a Gaussian Blur of about 11.5.
Next, in your Layers Palette with the blurred photo layer selected, go to the Layer Modes and select Overlay. Your photo will now have more contrast and a soft blur around the edges. So easy!
Now let's play with the Halftone filter! Make a duplicate copy of your photo in the Layers Palette like you did for the photo above.
Notice that we are inside the Filters Gallery, and the sliders to the right allow you to choose the type of halftone pattern, the size, and the contrast. The preview of your photo will appear to the left.
Once you are happy with the amount and size of the halftone effect, click OK.
Now, in your Layers Palette with the halftone photo layer selected, go to the Layer Modes and select Overlay. Viola! It's a great way to add a bit of pizazz to your photo or embellishment!
Did you know that you can sharpen your photos by using the High Pass filter?
Make a duplicate copy of your photo in the Layers Palette. Click on Filter and select Other in the drop-down menu. Next, select High Pass.
I used a radius of 5.1 pixels for this demonstration.
It looks a little odd, but just hang-on for the next step!
Now, in your Layers Palette with the High Pass photo layer selected, go to the Layer Modes and select Overlay.
See the difference between the original and the photo with the filter applied? The new photo is sharper, and the colors seem more vibrant! I love this filter!
You can add some interesting lighting effects with the Lens Flare or Lighting Effects Filters. Just go to your Filters menu, scroll down to Render, and then select Lighting Effects.
I have applied a Flashlight Filter to my photo. Notice all the settings you can play around with. You can also just grab the handles of the flashlight lighting circle right on the photo and move it around and enlarge it until you are happy with the results. Click OK when you are done.
Isn't this fun?!
Now, one of my favorite filters to play with is the Radial Blur! Once again, make a duplicate copy of your photo in your Layers Palette by hitting Ctrl+J (or Cmd+J on Mac).
Select the Blur filter in the Filters drop-down menu, then select Radial Blur. Slide the Amount slider around until you are happy with the effect. I used Zoom under Blur Method and selected Best under Quality. You can also adjust the Blur center. Then hit OK.
Now, with black as your foreground and white as your background color, select a big Soft Round eraser brush and begin erasing on the Radial Blur photo layer. Erase anything that you want to be clear.
I could continue to play forever, but I hope this has given you some fun ways to bump up your photos a notch!
Until next time!

The other day as I was flipping through a magazine, an ad caught my attention. The main graphic image of the ad was a silhouette filled with descriptive words. Be still, my heart! Imagine the possibilities! A layout using the same technique? Yes!
So with that, I am going to walk you through a digital scrapbooking layout using this very fun typographic technique.
To create a silhouette, you need to find that perfect image: A photo which will be recognizable even when blacked out. Side-shots of faces or full-body action shots (ideally with the legs and arms separate from the body) are great for this technique.
Next, you will need to carefully erase around your image, thus defining the edges of your silhouette. There are several ways to do it, but I love using the Magnetic Lasso Tool or the Polygonal Lasso Tool to select edges. Make sure that the "Add to Selection" box is selected, then select the Inverse (Ctrl+I), and delete the stuff around your silhouette image.
For more detailed instructions on how to make silhouettes, I recommend you check out Brandy Murry's Scrap Girls 2009 Digital Scrap Link Class: Using Silhouettes in Scrapbooking eBookin the Scrap Girls Boutique.
It's going to take some time to select around the border of your whole silhouette, but zoom in close and be patient. You don't have to be extremely accurate because you will be turning your image to black - but you want to be fairly close to the original.
After you cut your image out of the photo, make sure that your image is on a separate layer from the background. You will be filling your photo with a color (in my case, black), and you want this effect to only be applied to your photo. To fill your image only, make sure your image layer is selected, then press Ctrl and click on your image thumbnail. Finally go to Edit> Fill and select the color black and choose OK. Save your silhouette image as a PSD or a JPG file.
This is where it gets fun! Luckily for me, I found a free online generator called Tagxedo (http://www.tagxedo.com/). Tagxedo is designed to create groupings of words of your choice in an image of your choice - which definitely simplifies things. (It is also possible to simply type in your words and adjust them in your image, but I'm lazy.)
To use Tagxedo, click on Create from the home page. You will then be sent to the Tagxedo creator, where you then can upload your image (click on Shape> Upload Image). Select your file. After the image is uploaded, you can make any number of adjustments to your text, words, font, orientation, etc. When your new masterpiece is to your liking (be patient and have the courage to play with all the options - you may be surprised what you can create with a little tweaking), save the image as a PNG file with the highest resolution, and open it in Photoshop.
My image saved without a background, which is exactly what I wanted it to do. After opening it in Photoshop, I positioned it above my silhouette layer and created a clipping mask (Ctrl+G for PSCS, and Ctrl+Shift+G for PSE). You may want to merge your layers together at this point.
For such a visually interesting technique, there really wasn't a whole lot to it, but what an impact it makes! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

That touch of Minx
Contrary to what the New York Times wants you to think, John McCain is suspending his campaign so he and Sarah Palin can catch up on all the blog analysis of the failure of Minx Comics. Here's your briefing book; follow the links for… even more links.
David Welsh at Precocious Curmudgeon:
My strongest impression of the Minx books I've read (all of the books in the first wave and some of the subsequent ones) is that they felt incomplete, that they were at least two rigorous edits away from being a finished piece of entertainment. Whether DC was assuming lower standards among the books' target demographic or not, I have no idea, but all of the marketing in the world really shouldn't excuse generally mediocre product
Anna at Tangognat:
It didn't seem like there was much in the way of marketing for the line, and I'm not surprised that it is folding. In some ways it seemed like a halfhearted attempt to capture the YA book market, without actually investing in the types of stories that teen girls would want to read.
Dirk Deppey at Journalista:
No, I think the bigger problem is that building a line — indeed, an entire category — of books for the bookstore markets requires a great deal of patience and endurance, and there's very little evidence that DC Comics has ever demonstrated these qualities in their publishing efforts.
Christopher Butcher at Comics212:
Most importantly, I don't think the rise or fall of this line says anything at all about the validity of "comics for girls" or any variation thereof… There are still plenty of excellent graphic novels for the YA market, and for girls in particular, out on the stands. I also think that there's a market for more, and that every publisher looking to enter the market can learn from the successes and failures of MINX to create something that will ultimately succeed.
KadyMae in her LJ:
Hot tip: Teenaged girls with crappy lives don't want to read books about other teenaged girls with crappy lives who go to school where everybody else shits on them too and there's nothing they can do about it. They want to escape from their crappy lives for a few hours into a world where they are important and have power and do meaningful things and have adventures. (Oh, and a little m/m ho-yay never hurts.)
She also notes, "We sold the Minx books to *some* of the Manga readers, but mostly we sold them to people in their 20s who liked slice of life alt/indy comics anyway."
Kevin Church at Beaucoup Kevin:
I honestly think it was marketing. I saw no posters or copies of the Minx books outside of the direct market – something I was looking for at local and chain bookstores following the announcement that Cecil Castellucci was involved and googling her name because it sounded sort of familiar. The initial New York Times Article mentioned that there was a "significant" marketing budget in place with Alloy Marketing + Media handing the campaign, but I never saw where it was being spent.
Hope Larson at I was fakin':
Minx could have been good, and important. I really believe that, and I'm sorry to see them go, but most of the books they published are not very good. They have suspect artwork and dull, predictable plots, and would probably seem pandering to anyone over the age of 12. They're safe. To quote some ad copy from the back of Marjorie Dean, College Junior, a girls' series published in the '20s: "These are clean, wholesome stories that will be of great interest to all girls of high school age." I don't think kids in the '20s believed that, and neither would kids today. (Although, haha, their parents might.)
Lea Hernandez at Dangerous Beauty:
Shelley Bond said she saw girls reading manga in a bookstore and wanted that audience.
That would've been the time to do something like I pitched to Paul Levitz (which piqued his interest enough for him to have me contact Dan DiDio and Shelley Bond at different times): manga-influenced superheroine books. A Batgirl book where she is searching for her long-lost brother Tony. (Yes, Barbara Gordon has a Secret Agent Man brother.) Wonder Woman. Black Canary. Zatanna. Supergirl. Amethyst. Harley and Ivy. Importantly, make these books that didn't just take the names of the characters and run with them, but do books that were grounded in what the existing fans of those books like, with an appeal to draw in new female readers.
(Click for interesting history lesson about failed lines and DC and girls.)
Johanna Draper Carlson at Comics Worth Reading (1):
I've previously speculated that the books were selling better in the established comic direct market than bookstores, which wasn't the goal for the line, although it plays to DC's strengths and comfort levels.
But then, the line was formed out of jealousy. Shelly Bond, the editor behind the imprint, said she "pitched this line as an alternative to manga, but also as an alternative to traditional fiction" — in other words, why aren't these kids buying OUR comics? Which is typical DC thinking.
Too much of the promotion revolved around what the books weren't, instead of what they were.

[...] seen a lot of railing on the quality of the books here, particularly from teachers and librarians who are normally advocates for graphic novels, and that [...]
For those curious, I've gone and added a fuller range of thoughts to the end of the Minx line:

In a decision that could alter how clients take action against brokerage firms, a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority panel has ruled that Charles Schwab Corp. had the right to bar customers from engaging in class action lawsuits against it.
In September 2011, Schwab amended its customer account agreement to include a class-action waiver provision, requiring that all disputes be arbitrated. FINRA's Enforcement Department challenged the move because its rules prohibit the use of class action waivers by brokerage and investment banking firms. On Thursday, a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority disciplinary panel upheld Schwab's decision to do so anyway.
Schwab, over the course of the year, has argued that legal precedent established by the Supreme Court in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion and Compucredit Corp. v. Greenwood held that that federal regulations must also comply with the Federal Arbitration Act, which requires that parties agreeing to arbitration must do so instead of going to court. It also precludes state and federal courts from invalidating arbitration clauses.
FINRA had countered that its rules are not governed by the FAA. The disciplinary panel, however, found that because its rules are subject to approval by the Securities Exchange Commission it must comply with federal statutes, including the FAA.
Schwab's post-decision statement reiterates its claim that "customers are better served through the existing FINRA arbitration process" and "class action lawsuits are a cumbersome and less effective means of resolving disputes for both parties."
It wasn't all good new for Schwab, however. The panel found that it did violate FINRA rules by attempting to prevent the consolidation of arbitration claims and concluded the FAA does not invalidate rules regarding the powers granted to its arbitrators, nor does it prohibit the consolidation of individual claims or dictate how an arbitration forum should be governed and operated. Schwab was ordered to remove that specific language and was assessed a fine of $500,000.
Unless it is appealed to FINRA's National Adjudicatory Council, the hearing panel's decision will become final in 45 days.
