The fruitless search ended about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday without the discovery of any human remains.
The search location was in Oakland County's Oakland Township, a rural community about a 32-mile driver north of Detroit near the intersection of Adams and Orion roads.
Kit Wojcik of Rochester Hills was among the straggling spectators to visit the site after digging concluded Wednesday.
"It would be silly and it would be fun if it wasn't such a terrible waste of money," she said with a . "I mean, they can't plow the snow on the road in front of my house and they have money to dig up for Jimmy Hoffa.
"I mean, it's ridiculous."
The search involved a mix of about 40 Oakland County deputies and FBI agents working two separate shifts, said FBI spokesman Simon Shaykhet.
The search was led by the FBI and involved the use of heavy machinery to dig up the target area.
Officials did not provide an exact estimate for the cost of the resources employed in the investigation or search.
Wojcik's children, 42, 39 and 24, attended Baldwin Elementary School on Orion about a mile from the dig site, "and they all want a picture," she said. "Nothing ever happens around here."
Wojcik said she never expected the search to turn up positive results.
"I don't think they're ever going to find him," she said. "And what difference does it make if they do or don't; how can they waste all this money."
The information that led to the most recent dig is contained in a secret search warrant that "probably" won't be disclosed to the public, according to Shaykhet.
Tony Zerelli, 85, a former high-ranking Mafia member is presumed to be at the heart of the investigation. What other information federal investigators gathered remains unknown.
He told WDIV, Channel 4 News in Detroit during an interview in February that Hoffa had been buried beneath the concrete floor of a no longer standing bard in the rural field formerly owned be Mafia affiliate Jack Tocco.
- Search warrant remains sealed
- Hoffa dig comes up empty
- Bouchard says dig halfway done; so far no remains

All's well that ends well! I hope that they don't scold Shannon. I'm sure it was not her intent to cause anyone angst!
Being first and 5 bucks will get you a coffee at Stardrek!
OK now I expect about 100 "I told you so's".
@DaJellyBelly – I hope not too as it was the adults who spazzed out and failed to search for her. She did nothing wrong.,
Ok TJ time to use some of that money that you said you have all the time and put the house back together.
Did Brad's eyes just turn green, or are they just reflecting Brads shirt?!!?
Take it easy Brad! There will be plenty of kisses for you as well.
That was just a little parody of someone we all know and love.
Toni's relief is understandable, but as a guy, I keep thinking of all that destruction. Hello…isn't it time for Tiffany's movie to come out?
I know
I'd estimate that it will only cost them $100-$200 to repair the damage. They only need to hang a couple pieces of drywall and replace a section of what appeared to be Parquet flooring.
Look at the smile on TJ's face! Joyful Happiness!!
I like TJ's smile in the last panel. Normally, TJ kind of has a sly, car-salesman grin. It looks more genuine than it normally does- I think it's the way Greg drew the eyebrows.
They are probably lucky that Shannon was asleep al the time that they were searching for her. Imagine what type of complications it would have caused if Shannon had come back to the living room, found everyone gone, and called the police to come help her search for Brad and Toni.
That would have been interesting, so it didn't happen.

In this segment, we will take a look at each of the themed funds currently listed on HSX. I hope by discussing the good and/or bad factors of each fund that you will gain an understanding of what to look at in a fund when deciding whether or not to invest.
- 'A' - Great Fund To Invest In
- 'B' - Good Fund To Invest In
- 'C' - Poor Fund To Invest In
- 'D' - Bad Fund To Invest In
Graphs can be deceiving. If you see the right hand scale for AMATN's graph it is only increments of $5mill. Basically, from March '09 to Thanksgiving '09 this fund only made $5mill? We can see that things spiked when ALVN2 and AVATR got released, but what happens now that those two hits have delisted?
When investing in funds you should look at two things:
- 1) History (of fund and/or manager)
- 2) Stocks held (vs stocks it can hold)
Grade: B This fund will eventually delist at $100 but it is taking its time getting there. If you have some extra cash lying around this is a good place to put it, but if you are a smaller port this fund will just tie up your money for a period of time.
Again we see that the graph deceives! This graph is in increments of 2mill. In the last year, this fund has gone from $48 to the current price of $56. In the last year this fund has made only 8mill.
I am puzzled when looking at the stocks that this fund is invested in. All of its money is tied up in stocks that are still in development (MONOP, DALAS) and has only radar shares in movies that are currently in release (FPWLV, EDRKN) or upcoming releases (TGHST, GREZN, RBNHD). Adjusts and delists should be your bread and butter. Passing them up, in favor of far off projects or projects that are still in development, with no news, will make you poor.
Grade: C I will go out on a limb and say that this fund is on autopilot and that the manager is not taking care of it. At this fund's current rate of growth, it would take another 5.5 years for it reach the target price of $100. This fund is a poor investment. If you have so much money that you have bought every stock in HSX (that you expect will turn a profit) and still have some free money left over ...then this fund would finally start looking like a good investment. (It did make $8mill this last year).
This time last year CHICK was at $34 and today is at $67. This fund has doubled over the course of the year. Congrats!
Looking at the fund's investments, we can see that they are taking full advantage of movies that are in release (wide and limited) and they have also invested in upcoming movies that will make them some money. When you are running your own port, you can invest some money into projects that are a way off and/or are still in development (and there is nothing wrong with that). The lesson we take from this fund (which doubled its money) is that if you really want to grow, and grow fast, you should be about the here and now looking for the openers that will be adjusting soon and the limiteds that might be over priced.
Grade: A This fund is a great buy for all sized ports. The fund is steadily and consistently growing and has invested in a manner that if they take a hit on one bad investment it won't damage its profits.
Wow. This time last year INDIE was $93.55 and today it is $93.10. This fund has made no profit this year.
This is the third version of this fund so we know it has been successful in the past. There are two likely possibilities for this fund doing so poorly. Either the manager has gone inactive or the fund is over invested. When you buy too many stocks it is easy for "losers" to eat up all the profits that your "winners" make. When you have as many stocks as INDIE, it is hard to keep track of which ones are moving and in what direction. Many times you will find your port "bleeding" where you are losing money but can not figure out from where (which stocks).
Grade: D Either the manager has left the building or the manager is just over investing causing the fund not to grow. This is a bad investment for any port. There is no reason a fund investing in independent movies and the starbonds that are attached to them should make no profit for a whole year.
LAFSF was IPOed 10/7/09 and in the last five months this fund has made $630,000. What a waste of an original concept.
What went wrong? The theme of this fund is that starbonds who went to the renowned film schools in LA make a big contribution to the entertainment industry and this fund will invest in them and their projects. I do not know who went to these LA film schools. There is no list on the stock page and there is no link to any list anywhere on in the internet. The fund description names some people that are eligible for the fund like RHOWA, JSING, WFERR, BBIRD, TBURT, and JMANG but the fund has chosen not even to radar these starbonds. I wonder why Alice In Wonderland, The Other Guys, Labor Day and Fast & Furious Five are not invested in by this fund.
Grade: D This is a bad investment for any sized portfolio. It is making no profit. The theme is interesting but investors have no idea which stocks and bonds are eligible to be invested in. The theme of the fund is too complicated without a list of eligible starbonds or using a tool like radaring all eligible starbonds. The best opportunites for this fund to invest in and make a profit are slipping past because the manager is unorganized (probally making him just as confused about which bonds and projects qualify for the fund).
The XOVER fund was taken over by HSX trader Catzan in Oct '09 after the former fund manager either quit or was fired from the fund. Since that time, the fund has doubled. It started at $28.63 in October and is now at $59.28.
This fund has a simple theme that allows it to invest in lots of starbonds and their projects. Nowadays it seems every movie star wants to be a music star and every music star wants a shot at being a movie star. Just off the top of my head I could name alot of starbonds that qualify: Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, LL Cool J, Jennifer Lopez, Rob Zombie, Will Smith, Jonas Brothers, Mark Walhberg, Miley Cyrus ...
Grade: A This is a great investment for any size port. The theme allows it to invest in a wide selection of starbonds and stocks. The fund is managed by a successful trader who has experience running several other funds in the past.
This fund has made $68mill since June of last year. Graphs at HSX just do not get more sexy than the one on the ADJUST page.
This fund invests in the wide movies opening each weekend so the responsibility lies 100% on the manager's shoulders. Luckily this fund is managed by a trader who picks them right way more often than he gets them wrong.
Grade: A This fund is a great buy for ports of all sizes.
This time last year SCIFI was priced at $36.27 and today it is $71.03. In the last year this fund has doubled its price.
SCIFI movies are expensive to make, so we do not usually have one opening every weekend. But to their credit, many of them do good box office and the quality of profit makes up for the (lack of) quantity. This fund has an easy, but slightly limited, theme that allows for it to invest in enough current and upcoming projects to easily make a profit.
Grade: B This fund is managed by a trader who is doing everything right. The grade has no negative reflection of the manager. This genre has a limited numbers of releases, which in turn, limits this fund from making as big of a profit as other funds can make. This fund is a good buy for most ports. If you are a smaller port you might want to pass on investing here only because of its higher price. This fund will cost you a little more money than some other available funds and the profit potential is a little limited (although the manager's skill seems to be making up for that)
BONDS has a history of delisting every six months. So far, this incarnation of the fund is on track to again delist in six months (or sooner).
BONDS is one of the simpler theme funds. Starbonds adjust almost every week of the year allowing a weekly constant gain for the fund. Most of the starbond adjusts can be calculated or be reliably estimated beforehand which almost guarantees that each stock held will make a profit.
Grade: A This fund is a great buy for all sized ports. You are almost guaranteed to make some profit from this fund every week. This is the 14th incarnation of the fund in the last 8 years. The manager has left you an email to contact him about the fund (if you cannot find him on the starbond board).
The third incarnation of this fund IPOed in December '09 at $20 and is now priced at $43.13. It has doubled in two months!
SEETV has the simple theme of investing in any starbond who has had or currently has a TV show that they are a regular cast member. This covers such a wide variety of stars like Will Smith, Tim Allen, Tom Hanks, John Travolta, Robin Williams, George Clooney, ...
Grade: A This fund is fast like a bullet! A simple theme plus a hungry fund manager = more money for you. Recommended for ports of all sizes (especially since the price is still so low and will not tie up too much of your money to invest).
This fund IPOed in Aug '09 at $20 and is currently $70.60.
This fund has a simple theme. They can invest in any project that will be shown in 3D. The only drawback to this fund is that there are a limited amount of 3D theaters in the country which currently limits the volume of 3D movies released. On the plus side, 3D movies are the hot thing in the business right now and the higher ticket prices equal more movie profits.
Grade: A 3D is very popular now so the amount of theaters converting will allow for more volume of releases and this means this fund is a sure shot to pull in the profits. The fund manager has invested responsibly and the added bonus that the fund can invest in starbonds attached to 3D movies all but ensures that you will receive a profit investing here. This is a good investment for all ports.
AWARD just IPOed last week where they were given a good review. The first weekend out and they held the mega hit the wrong way. Their graph is no longer sexy (it now has a big dip in the middle).
Everything said in IPO Thoughts: The Academy Awards Fund III (AWARDS) still applies. This is an easy fund which invests in the best directors, actors and actresses and the projects that they are attached to.
Grade: B This should be an easy fund to run and should be very profitable. The first weekend out did not turn out very good. The manager is a long time player and should be able to turn things around very easily.

'Belle of Amherst' best when profiling Dickinson's poetry
Walt Whitman may have rightly claimed that his poetry contains multitudes, but Emily Dickinson can stake an equally valid claim to being America's greatest poet.

Great Dress! 07-05-2016
Love this so much I actually bought a second one to keep in reserve for when the first one gets old. The fit is super-flattering--a little cut in in the shoulders and a slight empire waist gives it shape so it doesn't look like a tent. The fabric is light and airy and there's a lining so it's not at all sheer. Great length for a petite person (I'm 4'11, size XS) and not too flared.

Round and round we go… Why don't I feel the least bit sorry for them?
I have to ask myself that same question!
Good thing the cabbie explained that Times Square is really an octagon….
He even took the time to drive around all eight sides, just to show them!
Now they won't sound like idiot tourists when they tell everybody back home about their trip.
And the twelve mile Broadway tour! Who knew the theater district was so big?
Oh the wonders of the big city….
and no matter WHAT you've heard, everyone is so helpful!
Besides the cab driver, there was that nice fellow who was following them because he'd picked Joy's…
um… wallet up….
from …. the …er… sidewalk…
They never even realised that her purse was open or that she dropped it,
not till they turned around and saw him with it.
Of course all the cash and credit cards were missing by the time he… found it, but she got back her library card and her punch card from the day-old bakery.
Burl gave him a $3 reward from his wallet…. he deserved it.
Like lambs to the slaughter…. Of course, having that "Kick Me" sign on their backs didn't help.
39.95 tour and Burl gave the cabie 40.00 Yea a lot of change there
They HAVE TO BE there on "Corporate's" dime. No way these fools go to NYC on their own.
I'm inclined to agree with you. A $3 tip is far too generous for Burl.
But at least they both can tell time with the $3 Rolex watches they were able to procure from the nice man on the street.
The cabbie looks like he's related to Jerry.

LOL! True!
When we lived in Vegas we ould tell our visitors to tell the cabbies NOT to drive down the strip, the back streets on either side are faster. Needless to say the drivers didn't like that! Talk about "babes in the woods" I fear for those two, they would get taken in their own front yards.
The Circle Cab Company has been round for a long time… ! ! .
Really, or just cabs that like to drive in circles? I've never been to NY.
They took the train to Penn station and took a cab to the Empire State. Only $40. It's by Macy*s. (and maybe a quarter mile)

The Supreme Court was not created to determine whether a law was constitutional or not. That was a power they gave themselves in 1803 with Marbury v. Madison. "Judicial Review" is nowhere in the constitution. Since you want a strict interpretation of the constitution, you should probably do some reading on that.

You are assuming a lot. First, you have no idea if he tried to buy a gun. And if a background check really stopped him, then that proves the point that the gun control crowd has been trying to make, that background checks work and should be expanded. Secondly, you are right, murderous intent can't be controlled, but we can control the tools used. Remember, nobody died. It would not have been the same story if he had a gun. Thirdly, the "good guy" you are talking about was the police. Nobody is trying to take the guns away from the police. They are properly trained. the problem comes when you have untrained people using guns in public places, ie: the lady at that Walmart that used her gun to stop a shoplifter.
I find it odd you called me illogical. "You keep on using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means."

The issue is not that the Pope met with Kim Davis, it's that he was tricked into meeting with Kim Davis. The homosexual couple you reference is a long time friend of the Pope and was invited to the embassy by the Pope himself.
If the Pope knowingly met Kim Davis, they wouldn't be calling for him to resign.

The SCOTUS said slavery was legal one time and it was widely agreed upon as the worst SC decision of all time. On the flip side, several different courts, numerous times, over the course of 200yrs have all agreed on what the Establishment Clause means. You are simply wrong to think otherwise.

How can you think this is well thought out. His "rebuttal" flies in the face of 200yrs of case law. The courts have repeatedly stated that when the Government acts based on religious intent is it unconstitutional. The whole "freedom of religion, not freedom from religion" is complete BS.

Lena Dunham never claimed to be a moral compass. She is not outspoken in judging anyone's life choices. She didn't take part in robo calls that stated that homosexuals would "molest your children". It is not just the crime, It is the hypocrisy.

That's what is needed right now.
Last night, John Surma, backed by the Penn State Board of Trustees, announced that both President Graham Spanier and Joe Paterno will not be retaining their positions with the university. (Video after the break)
Shortly afterwards, Penn State students began to take to the streets in support of Paterno. The scene was both powerful and sad. Powerful because a man that has brought so much to the university of Penn State has so much support, but more sad because it seems that these students do not understand why Paterno was let go. They do not understand the magnitude of this story and what it has done to their university in the public eye. They are thinking with football minds and not considering the fact that young kids lives were destroyed by the actions that men DID NOT TAKE. I am appalled at the actions of the Penn State student body, and while I understand that the majority may not be represented, there sure seemed to be a lot of them out there tonight and hopefully they'll regret their actions one day. I feel for the Penn State alumni that have had to watch this unfold.
The one student who was in support of the firing of Joe Pa, was blasted by fellow students and said he felt unsafe.
This is the right thing for Penn State to do. Joe Paterno has dictated EVERY thing he has ever done at Penn State. Even in his statement, "the board does not need to focus on me", he showed that it is all about him, and that he considers himself to be "Penn State". For a man that I respect so much, it shows that we, as fans, know very little about these men. We throw our full support behind them through thick and thin, and that is to be questioned of each of us. Joe Paterno was not fired because of what he did, he was fired because of what he didn't do. Now Penn State can feel that Paterno isn't going to be the main attraction at the rest of their season's football games. Now they can start to build their image back. The football program is not in a bad place at all (they are 8-1), but the image of the university, which Joe Pa is the face of, is in shambles.
In my opinion, the best coaching replacement for Paterno is someone from OUTSIDE of the Paterno era. Like the Urban Meyer rumor. Anyone that has a clean image and is not related to Joe.
Overall, today was a sad day. Grown men did nothing to protect the future harm of children, and a legends career ended in a horrible memory. The more that comes out with this story, the more discouraged I get.

SPRINGFIELD - Springfield police arrested five area men Saturday afternoon during an anti-prostitution sweep in the city's South End, police said.
Sgt. John Delaney, aide to Commissioner William Fitchet, said the men were arrested after they approached an undercover female police officer and offered to pay money in exchange for sex.
Arrested were Nelson Morales, 51, of 274 Locust Street, Springfield, Daniel Orlik, 43, of 37 Ducharme Street, Chicopee, Jeffery Comeau, 40, of 51 Van Deene Ave., West Springfield, George Alvarez, 45, of 511 Hancock Street, Springfield, and Mark Bauman, 25, of 129 Shaker Road, Enfield.
Each was charged with engaging in sexual conduct for a fee.
They are due to be arraigned Monday in Springfield District Court.
The arrests were made in less than two hours on Saturday afternoon. Detectives with the police Vice Unit under the command of Sgt. Steven Kent deployed to the area of Locust Street and Palmer Avenue as part of the operation.
The detail was part of an ongoing crackdown by Springfield police on prostitution in city neighborhoods.

INDIANAPOLIS -- We focused quite a bit Thursday on the Bears after news of coach Lovie Smith's extension broke, with general manager Jerry Angelo holding court in his hotel room just a couple of hours later.
So today, let's focus a bit more on some of the local prospects working out here at the NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.
We spoke with former Illinois linebacker Mikel Leshoure, a second-team all-American selection who rushed for a single-season school record 1,697 yards and 17 touchdowns, and was named Texas Bowl MVP after pounding Texas Tech for 187 yards and three TDs.
Here's what Leshoure, a potential first-day pick, said during his time with the media at the combine.
Did you come in weighing less than your playing weight from the season?
Mikel Leshoure:I actually did. I had about six weeks of training down in McKinney, Texas, with Michael Johnson Performance. I came in about 230 and I weighed in today about 227 (Leshoure's playing weight was 230 pounds).
Can less weight help with your time in the 40-yard dash?
ML: I think it just makes my agility a lot better. My quickness a lot better and my stamina. My best time running at MJP was 4.57 and that was the third week of training. I definitely think those numbers could be better Sunday.
Former Illinois running backs Pierre Thomas and Rashard Mendenhall have gone on to become successful in the NFL. Does their success give you hope about your potential NFL career?
ML: Definitely. I don't think it's any added pressure or anything like that to me. I feel like if I continue to do what I'm doing, and what I have done at the collegiate level, I'll be just fine. But for those guys to have the success that they did at the NFL is a plus to Illinois football, and the running backs that came out of there.
Do you think the scouts will take those guys into account when evaluating you?
ML: I think it will help; the running backs that have come out of Illinois and what they've done so far.
You rushed for a school-record 330 yards and two touchdowns against Northwestern at Wrigley Field. Was that the game that helped solidify your decision to declare for the draft early?
ML: I would say just that game, but overall I felt like I exceeded my expectations for the season as far as my stats and, also my team goals. One of my goals was to make it to a bowl game and win. I feel like I did that and I was blessed to get MVP of the game. And as a running back, the time's running. You've got to go when the iron's hot, and I felt like this was the best time for me.
Have the Bears or Packers shown interest in you?
ML: I haven't gotten any special attention from those two teams or any one-on-one visits with those guys, just the meetings that we had with the 32 teams yesterday. That was about it.
Would you say you're a complete running back?
ML: I definitely feel like I'm a complete back. I feel like I can run, I can pass-block and I'm very confident with my hands, not only the short 5- and 10-yard routes, but I feel like I can beat some of the safeties and linebackers downfield. So me personally, I feel like I'm a complete back.
Do you think you can be the first back taken in April?
ML: Yes, I definitely think I can be the No. 1 back taken. That's my goal. Everyone has their own opinion. You hear a lot of different stuff and see a lot of different things on T.V. But with my versatility and the things I can bring to the table, it will show a lot of scouts and GMs that I can be their guy.
Would you rather juke a guy or run him over?
ML: It depends on how that guy's looking. You can look in his eyes and that will tell you a lot. I feel like I can do either one of those, and that's what makes me a different back. One of those guys might just have the quickness and can move, and another guy might have the power that can run him over. But I feel like I have a little bit of both.
Are you a smack talker?
ML: I've never been a smack talker. I do like to celebrate a little in the end zone and with my teammates, but I'm not the type of guy that goes out on the field and talks a lot of smack.
With character being such an issue with teams these days, how will you address questions about your character with these teams in interviews?
ML: I feel like I've grown as man from my first year to my junior year. I made some mistakes earlier in my collegiate career, but if you were to go act and talk to any of the coaches, from the strength and conditioning coach to the head coach about me, they'll tell you that I'm mature for my age and I've learned a lot from my mistakes. I'm a guy that they can count on and I'll be there for my team or my coaches.
Can you tell us a little more about the game against Northwestern?
ML: It was a good game. That game we had something to prove. Our coach [Ron Zook] came in that Monday of practice and told us a little quote that was said by the head coach [Pat Fitzgerald] of Northwestern. He called some of our guys a bunch of thugs and all of us would've gone to their school, but weren't academically eligible to do so. That fired us up. You could look in my guys' eyes, my teammates before that game started and you could tell that we all wanted it. We proved it that game.
You had some adversity growing up. Could you tell us about that?
ML: Growing up, I grew up without my father for about 16, 17 years of my life. It was just me and my mother [Jacqueline Jones]. I'm an only child, so it was just me and her. I learned a lot from that. I learned from an early age that I have to be the man of the house and take care of my mother and myself, and it taught me a lot of responsibility. It made me the man I am today.
So this has to be an exciting time for you and your mother, right?
ML: Definitely. It's been a dream of mine since I was a little boy. If you talk to my mom, she'll tell you that when I was little, I used to walk around with a Nerf football. So to finally get an opportunity at the biggest stage in football, it's a blessing and I just want to take advantage of it and work hard.
Why did you choose Illinois out of high school?
ML: I definitely had other options as far as which schools I wanted to go to. Unfortunately, I didn't take any other official visits, which I wish I would've done. It may have changed my decision. But I was happy with the decision I made. I was happy with my teammates, with the coaching staff. If I could go back and do it again, I would do everything the same.
Are there any running backs in the NFL you like right now in terms of rushing style?
ML: [Rams running back] Steven Jackson. I love the way he plays. He reminds me of myself. He's a big guy, but he's very versatile. He shows good hands and he shows toughness. He plays through injuries, and I feel like I can do all of those things.

Specular highlights on water

Is there a way to make specular highlights on water look better and natural?

I take it you already tried doing it the "right" way, so if you're interested in other approaches...
Super Mario Sunshine's Water Effect
Super Mario Sunshine uses strongly-colored ocean floors and a waving water mesh with a special noise texture. This texture is used in combination with a shader calculation to define where the shines on this water mesh will happen. An analytical view of this texture:
Notice it is mip-mapped, which means that under distance it will look different based on which pair of stages are being interpolated. The second stage is the brightest, so areas at a medium distance will be stronger than closer or really far away ones. Also note that the texture itself is completely blank, so there's no way the water will shine near the camera; only where the mip levels are used.
Anyway, SMS uses a single instance of that texture tiled over the entire water mesh (just one texture unit), but this texture is sampled twice, with two different UV values; these UV values should be scrolled in different directions and at different speeds in your game code, so that when they sample the same texture they can be added together and give an entirely unique, composited value. The water mesh also performs a waving animation with its vertices.
The shader then compares this unique color value (you can use any of the RGB channels, since the texture is grayscale) against a constant threshold\cutoff value - if the composited value is whiter\stronger than the cutoff value, it's discarded or rendered as transparent. Optionally, you can also set a lower cutoff value as the code below exemplifies:
float4 PS( float4 Diff : COLOR0, float4 Spec : COLOR1, float4 Vert : TEXCOORD0, float2 Tex1 : TEXCOORD1, float2 Tex2 : TEXCOORD2 ) : COLOR { float4 waterTex0 = tex2D(baseSampler,Tex1); // The same texture, sampled twice to simulate... float4 waterTex1 = tex2D(baseSampler,Tex2); // ...two scrolling textures without using 2 texture units. float water = ((waterTex0.r + waterTex1.r) * Vert.r); // Composited value from the two samples. if((water >= cutoff_bottom && water <= cutoff_top)) discard; return float4(water,water,water,1.0f); }
The resulting fragment will be blended with the ocean floor, thus acquiring that water-like color while giving the impression of a shine. If it fails the cutoff values, you just get the ocean floor's color. You can see this in that screenshot at the top of the post. The water mesh doesn't cover all of the visible ocean, just an area around the player - most likely to increase the performance of this effect on the GameCube. You can shape this technique to achieve whatever result you want: adding different parameters, using a 1D texture instead of that "IF" shader instruction (might be faster) etc.
I wouldn't know all this if it weren't for the ingeniousness of Arthur Carvalho (nicked "Yoasakura") of the Dolphin-Emulator forums, so big thanks to him.

Forgot to say; you can use the Photoshop NVIDIA DDS plugin to draw custom data on the mip-levels: http://www.modwiki.n...diting_MIP_Maps
Alternatively you can use the GIMP plugin: http://code.google.c...p-dds/

That depends on what is not good-looking about it... Can you post a picture?

If the problem is specular aliasing, then mipmapping your normal maps with a toksvig factor, or using LEAN mapping, will help.

There is a quick and easy way to implement something in this style. I'd like you to do the following:
• Define the sun's vector. This is a constant Float3 value, with a negative Y axis since it's pointing down. Prefer a vector that points in the same direction as the sun in your environment.
• Choose a deep-water color. This is a constant Float4 value. I suggest something in the lines of RGBA (0.0, 0.23, 0.31, 1.0).
• Compute the Dot product of the sun's vector with the current fragment's normal (taken from the animated normal-map), but transfer the result to the '1.0 ~ 0.0' range:
float lighting = (dot(sunVector, normalSample.rgb) + 1.0) * 0.5 // Transfer the dot result from '1.0 ~ -1.0' to the '1.0 ~ 0.0' range.• Add a small offset to the lighting factor so the water doesn't perfectly reflect the environment - so it doesn't look like a flawless mirror:
lighting = max(lighting - 0.1, 0.0)• Use that computed lighting factor to Lerp between 'deep-water color' and 'reflection map':
return lerp(deepWaterColor, reflectionSample, lighting)• Consider that Lerp as your final fragment color.
This doesn't represent what goes on in reality, but it's a good substitute. If this doesn't look good I'll suggest you another method.
If you can, please post a picture of above in action so we can see if it's working.

What exactly do you mean by deepwater color? I am using height based fog for underwater and I am using refraction map too.
You can not see this in the picture maybe
See this
for the lerp blending I am using fresnel term.
I think I am just going to experiment with different normal maps, should I use fresnel for this additional specular highlights too?

You should also make it greener:
- Look at the first screenshot you posted.
- Then look at this one from real life: http://i39.tinypic.com/348hjs7.jpg. Your ocean floor should look as dark as the part that's shadowed by that boat. Notice how the back of every wavelet is colored by that.

But yes I could indeed try to use better colors.

Hundreds participate in annual River Sweep
STEUBENVILLE – Volunteers across seven states took to their local waterways Saturday morning for the 25th anniversary of River Sweep, a program to battle pollution organized by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission.
Locally, about 250 to 300 people cleaned up more than a mile-long stretch of shoreline at the Steubenville marina between 8 a.m. and noon, according to Anita Petrella, program director.
"We have such dedicated volunteers here. Even in the rain, they're out here picking up litter," she said. "I'm very pleased with the huge crowd we've seen today. Fifty people were waiting for us when we got here. Now that is dedication."
Patti West, an Urban Mission volunteer, has been participating for 15 years.
"It's just a fantastic turnout considering the weather," West noted. "People brings their kids, their families. We have people of all ages, from 5 years old to 80, out here helping this morning."
E. Louise Holliday, Jefferson County Education Coordinator for J.B. Green Team, said that more than 100 bags of garbage and recyclables had been collected so far.
Sponsors and groups who took part included J.B. Green Team, Wal-Mart, ArcelorMittal and numerous local 4-H groups including the Wildwood Critters. Wal-Mart provided flowers, mulch, potting soil, beverages and snacks, and employee-volunteers painted the flower pots, something Holliday said they do every year.
Rich McCullough of ArcelorMittal said they had about15 employees at the marina helping out and more at other River Sweep sites such as in Costonia and on county Road 60.
"We're a corporate sponsor, and we enjoy taking part in this every year. My three kids are here with me this year," McCullough said.
Matt Caprarese of ArcelorMittal said they've been taking part for about 10 years now.
"It's one part of what we do through community outreach as a part of our Council for Stronger Communities. Our goal is to help protect and improve our environment," he said.
Ginny Chandler, Wayne Township trustee, said the event contributes to environmental education for those who join in. She has also adopted four roads around Bloomingdale and cleans them "religiously."
"What a great project! I think it's wonderful," she said. "If everybody just did their own property frontage like this then the world would be a better place. And you never know what you might find."
Chandler said she's come across a few $1 bills in the past. Holliday mentioned there was a surprising lack of tires found this year, but many golf balls, roofing shingles and a hot tub cover were recovered amongst the trash.
Steubenville police watched over the event, which Petrella said was appreciated.
Volunteers left with 25th anniversary River Sweep T-shirts and the knowledge that they helped make the river bank a cleaner place for local residents to enjoy.

Why Watch Dogs Will Be Game of the Year: Look At All the E3 Awards and Tell Me It Won't Win
Watch Dogs is a game that literally can not be bad. It has to be game of the year. Every single person who gave this game an E3 award must have had a reason for it. Forget the Nexus 7 thing, forget the downgrade thing, all that really matters is that the game is good according to the amount of awards it received.Games that receive a lot of attention are destined to be great. It's simple logic. Any game that does not receive a lot of attention is clearly a bad game. This game has everything gamers could possibly want. Hype, great press, Aisha Tyler, sales, what is wrong with this game? Seriously, name one bad thing about this game. You can't.
Hacking is a unique concept that has never been done before. It brings so much to the game. You press a button and boom you hack! It's great. And it feels like you're playing Grand Theft Auto sometimes. Not all games can say that it feels like Grand Theft Auto. Just another way this game is different compared to the rest.
Really, this game deserves all of the awards it received. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Do not let them try to reason with you by saying that these E3 awards are based solely on a limited experience of the game. That's rubbish. Movie trailers are completely representative of the full movie. Why can't we say the same about video games?
Ubisoft really knocked it out of the park with this game. It's definitely game of the year worthy according to the press material with quotes from various people saying that this game is definitely game of the year worthy.

At this time, the new series is called THE EMBRACED. (But that could change.) Pitched as Game of Thrones meets The Princess Bride, this new paranormal/fantasy series will have romance, humor, action, adventure, more romance, suspense, swordfights, a medieval-type world, heroes who can parkour, lots of laughs, and even more romance.
The series is set on a different world—a world with humans, dragons, elves, shifters, and the Embraced. Who are the Embraced? This world happens to have two moons, and twice a year, the two moons eclipse (or as the people there say, embrace). Any child born on those nights will have some kind of paranormal power. They are called the Embraced.
The kings of this world consider them a threat. After all, the Embraced have powers that the kings can never have. So the kings dispatch assassins to kill them. Obviously, if you're Embraced, you want to keep it secret! But what happens if you need to use your supernatural power?
The first book in The Embraced series will release in winter of 2017.
Winter is coming!!!

The 2014 NFL preseason lays the groundwork for what happens when the real games begin. Although it's tricky to evaluate players during this time period based on the fluctuating personnel and schematic chess occurring between teams, there is no shortage of juicy storylines throughout.
Entering Week 2 of this year's exhibition phase in pro football, there are a number of developments worth monitoring as the regular season inches closer.
One quarterback battle is stealing a lot of headlines. That may be a topic of discussion that won't soon be tabled. One of the deepest draft classes in recent memory is creating plenty of buzz among the first-year players, even beyond the all-important QB position.
Let's take a closer look at what to watch most closely as we approach the preseason's halfway mark.
Will We See Johnny 'Monday Night' Football?
Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel is in an intense competition with veteran backup Brian Hoyer for the starting gig. Manziel is in an offense coached by play-caller Kyle Shanahan, who coached Robert Griffin III to great success as a rookie in Washington during the 2012 season.
The ugly circumstances that led to a coaching change in the nation's capital and the undercurrent of animosity between Griffin and Shanahan makes this matchup all the more intriguing. Oh, and it's in prime time on the Monday Night Football stage.
Browns head coach Mike Pettine hasn't decided on a starter between Manziel and Hoyer just yet. NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala has more, wherein Pettine suggests Manziel hasn't quite merited the starting nod:
Pettine says he's not yet sure which QB will start Monday night in WAS. Said Manziel won't start just to start. "That needs to be earned."— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) August 11, 2014
Not letting Johnny Football take center stage at FedEx Field would make for quite a sad letdown. This week of practice will largely determine if Manziel will earn his shot to win the starting job.
MMQB.com's Peter King senses the momentum is shifting Manziel's way:
DETROIT-Manziel's NFL debut tonight. Hear he's gaining on Hoyer, but needs 2 good performances. Pettine wants to name starter pre-3d ex game— Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) August 9, 2014
Considering Manziel went 7-of-11 passing for 63 yards in his NFL debut in Detroit and ran for 27 yards on six carries, a strong showing on the practice field should put him No. 1 on the depth chart, at least for the Washington game.
Many of Manziel's carries occurred when the pocket broke down, and he was playing with a misfit cast of receivers.
With multiple Pro Bowlers blocking for him in Joe Thomas and Alex Mack, a better receiving corps and a superior rushing attack to support him, Manziel has a shot to do even better in his second preseason appearance.
Whether it comes as a starter over Hoyer or in relief duty with the Browns first-string still on the field remains to be seen. Whenever Pettine does name a starter, it will give valuable insight into how this compelling competition in Cleveland is heading into the final stretch.
Cam Newton Returns for Carolina
The Carolina Panthers first-team offense executed rather well in their maiden preseason game against the Buffalo Bills with Derek Anderson at the controls. Anderson may be a past Pro Bowler, but Carolina fans ought to be ecstatic that Cam Newton is returning to the gridiron.
Newton was medically cleared to play in Sunday's showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs, another team that turned things around in 2013 to make the playoffs, per ESPN.com's David Newton. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said a quick turnaround in the schedule may cause him to play his starters more:
I'd hate to play half a game [against Kansas City] and then, bam, on a short week we're traveling on Thursday, playing on Friday and expect the guys to play [well]. So we may play them a little bit longer than you normally would in the second game and not quite as long in the third game.
That Carolina was able to execute well versus Buffalo in the passing game was especially encouraging. First-round rookie Kelvin Benjamin also looked the part, hauling in a magnificent 29-yard touchdown reception.
CBS Sports' Pete Prisco is among the experts who have had second thoughts as to how Benjamin fell to the No. 28 overall pick:
By the talk coming out of Carolina, maybe I was way wrong on Kelvin Benjamin. I thought it would take time. Didn't love the pick.— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 2, 2014
It may have been the best thing to happen for Newton, whose receiving corps is largely unproven and inexperienced. Based on how well Benjamin has been performing to ascend up the depth chart, perhaps Carolina isn't in for a letdown after winning the NFC South last year.
Newton has been impressed with Benjamin to say the least, per the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs:
When it clicks for him, it's going to click for us. As soon as he gets that chip on his shoulder that says there is not a cornerback or safety who can cover me in this game, that is going to be the changing moment for us. That will be the point when it won't matter if he's double covered, man coverage or zone, just give him an opportunity and everybody else will be better off of it.
This could quickly become one of the most dynamic combinations in all of football—and both Newton and Benjamin are so young to boot. As their chemistry continues to improve, the sky is the limit for the rocket-armed Newton and the 6'5", 240-pound Benjamin.
Perhaps most important, though, is how Newton's ankle responds after he underwent offseason surgery. The scary thing is, he might become even faster and more agile when he takes off to run, which could add to the unique X-factor he brings to Carolina's offense with his athleticism.
The Chiefs snagged two pick-sixes off Cincinnati QB Jason Campbell in their wild first preseason contest. It will be interesting to see if they can become ball hawks again when facing Newton, who may be knocking off a bit of rust in his return to live-game action.
The EJ Manuel-Sammy Watkins Connection
Playing in the opening Hall of Fame Game gave the Bills a little less time for their young tandem to get in sync. However, the 2013 first-round pick EJ Manuel must show signs of progress in developing a rapport with the explosive rookie Sammy Watkins.
ESPN Stats & Info highlighted how Manuel and Watkins weren't initially on the same page in the preseason opener:
Buffalo's Sammy Watkins was targeted 3 times in the Bills preseason loss to the Giants, but did not make a reception.— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) August 4, 2014
Some signs of life happened last week, when Watkins caught three passes on four targets, but it only amounted to 21 yards. Everyone is still waiting to see the man the Bills traded a 2015 first-rounder for to produce a "Wow!" play.
Not to knock Watkins at all—his best has been reserved for the practice field thus far:
Sammy Watkins continues to make incredible one-handed catches (via @JonahJavad) http://t.co/UChRx9Rf6C— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) August 11, 2014
That's not completely his fault, though. Someone has to deliver him the football, and that someone is Manuel, who was 9-of-13 passing for 96 yards at Carolina. Bleacher Report's Matt Miller nevertheless still noticed a notable flaw:
EJ Manuel still staring down folks, the Panthers' DBs just aren't good enough to capitalize on it.— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) August 8, 2014
Which rookie are you most excited to see in Week 2 of the NFL preseason?
None of them are as explosive as Watkins is, though. The impact Watkins has and the development Manuel undergoes in his second year will set the tone as to how Buffalo will perform in the years to come.
On Saturday, the Bills will face the Pittsburgh Steelers' traditionally vaunted defense, coordinated by Dick LeBeau. Young QBs tend to struggle to figure out his disguised coverages, but with this being the preseason, Manuel may be cut a bit of a break. The worst the Steelers have in store for opponents may be yet to come in the regular season.
Nevertheless, this is a big test for both Manuel and Watkins, who will likely see at least some complicated looks from Pittsburgh and be playing in a hostile environment at Heinz Field. Both would do well to live up to the hype against one of the league's most storied franchises.
