This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme which is catalyzes the rate-limiting step in heme (iron-protoporphyrin) biosynthesis. The enzyme encoded by this gene is the housekeeping enzyme\; a separate gene encodes a form of the enzyme that is specific for erythroid tissue. The level of the mature encoded protein is regulated by heme: high levels of heme down-regulate the mature enzyme in mitochondria while low heme levels up-regulate. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 12. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.

Chapter 13.9Mature
Caelan's voice softened a little. "Zeke, you can tell me anything, you know that."
"I know," he whispered in response, averting his eyes to anywhere but his boyfriend.
"Come on, we'll go out for a walk. We can talk out there."
Caelan held his hand out to Zeke, who took it after a moment. Beth smiled encouragingly at Zeke when he looked to her.
"Oh, Zeke, can I talk to you for a second before you go?" she asked him.
He glanced to Caelan briefly, who smiled. "Yeah, sure."
He released Caelan's hand and walked out into the hallway with her.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Do you have the ring?" she whispered as quietly as she could.
"I always have it with me so he can't find it. Why?"
"You said that you'd give it to him after you told him. If you're telling him now, you should give it to him. Sooner's better than later, don't you think?"
He sighed quietly and ran a hand through his hair, making it stick up. "Yeah, I suppose so."
"Good. Now, promise me you won't come home until you're engaged and happy."
Zeke smiled, almost nervously. "Okay, I promise."
"Good," Beth said, hugging him tightly.
Caelan came out into the hallway a moment later and Zeke took his hand again, smiling at him. Caelan smiled back and glanced at Beth briefly before leading Zeke out of the house by his hand, looking back at Beth over his shoulder. She smiled at him reassuringly. She knew. She knew whatever it was Zeke was going to tell him, and that hurt. Caelan had known Zeke since he was born, had always looked up to him, had given him his heart when he was only eleven and Zeke had told Beth whatever it was.
Zeke seemed to notice. "I had to tell her. I knew she wouldn't flip on me."
Caelan looked up at him as he shut the door behind them.
"Is it really that bad? What do you think I'm going to do?"
"I don't know," Zeke whispered. "I've always been too scared to tell you."
"It can't be that bad..."
Zeke shrugged and looked down at the concrete, his grip on Caelan's hand loosening.
"Hey," Caelan murmured. He stopped walking and made Zeke turn to face him. He took his face in his hands and strokes his cheeks gently. "How bad can it be?"
"I just don't want you to freak out, that's all," Zeke muttered, his beautiful blue eyes filling with tears, one spilling over. Caelan wiped it away.
"Are you secretly straight and you've been stringing me along for the past eleven years?" Caelan asked, smiling, trying to make a joke out of it.
Zeke laughed a little. "No, not that. Never that..."
Caelan looked up into his eyes for a few moments before pulling him into a tight hug, resting his head on Zeke's chest.
"I love you. You know that. If I love you enough to think about looking after Lilac as our own, do you think this is enough to scare me off?"
"Just promise me you'll listen to the whole thing."
"Of course!" Caelan looked up at him. "Of course I'll listen to all of it. What else am I going to do?"

The present invention relates to image projecting devices and, more particularly, to a relatively simple and inexpensive device for creating and projecting light images having particularly appealing visual effects.
The formation and projection of light images is an art form which recently has obtained widespread popularity. Often employed in connection with a live or recorded musical performance, the projected light images add an additional dimension to the performance by stimulating the visual senses of the audience. To enhance the effect, the image generating device may be synchronized, either electronically or manually, with the music being performed.
Known equipment for creating visual effects by lighting variation and/or image generation has taken a variety of different forms. One common type employs a plurality of light sources, often of different colors, the energization of which may be electronically synchronized to either the magnitude or frequency of the music. Another common type comprises a translucent screen to diffuse light from different colored light sources energized in patterns which are either random, or related to the parameters of the music being performed. In another type, light images are projected by a device which utilizes a liquid medium through which light is passed to create the visual effects. By moving the liquid in various ways, the projected images are varied. Other types of devices employ strobe lights, the flashing of which may be random or synchronized. A recent development in this art has employed lasers to create complex projected light images which may be random or synchronized to the music.
The types of light creating or projecting devices referred to above are suitable for different applications and produce visual effects with varied characteristics and different degrees of esthetic merit. However, the manually actuated or controlled types, particularly those employing laser beams and the like, require an operator having substantial artistic skill in order to provide visually pleasing images. The types which create random images or are automatically synchronized with one or more parameters of the music being performed require relatively sophisticated electronics. Moreover, many of the devices require highly sophisticated and expensive light sources, such as laser beams or the like. The devices which do not require artistic skill, sophisticated electronics or expensive light sources are normally incapable of creating visual effects which are sufficiently variable in form, color, intensity and/or timing, to be esthetically interesting and pleasing enough for mass appeal.
It is, therefore, a prime object of the present invention to provide an image projecting device capable of creating and projecting controllable, but randomly changeable, light images which are sufficiently variable in form, color, intensity and/or timing, to be visually stimulating and interesting.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an image projecting device which is formed of relatively inexpensive, reliably performing components.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an image projecting device wherein randomly changeable light patterns can be controlled in a simple manner by a relatively unskilled operator to form esthetically pleasing images.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an image projecting device wherein the projected light images may be easily manually varied in accordance with the music being performed.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an image projecting device which does not require sophisticated or expensive electronics to create esthetically pleasing images.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an image projecting device which does not require expensive light sources to create esthetically pleasing images.
In accordance with the present invention, an image projecting device is provided comprising a base and a tubular member mounted on the base. A lens is mounted on one end of the member. A plurality of light sources are situated within the member. Means are provided for energizing the light sources. Means are provided for adjustably mounting the light sources on the member for independent movement relative to the lens to vary the projected image. The light source mounting means comprises: individual means for supporting each of said light sources and means, located within the member at a given distance from the lens, for mounting the individual support means to the member. The support means mounting means comprises means for permitting each of said individual support means to be independently positioned relative thereto.
The light source mounting means further comprises means for movably mounting said support means mounting means for collective movement of said light sources relative to the lens to further vary the projected image.
The support means comprises a plurality of control rods. Each of the light sources is mounted to the forward end of a different one of the control rods. The rear ends of each of the control rods is externally accessible through the open rear end of the member.
The support means mounting means comprises a plate or disc mounted within the member at a given distance from the lens. The disc has a plurality of openings therein into which the control rods are adapted to be received. By manually manipulating the control rods, the distance between each light source and the lens may be adjusted to alter the projected image.
The disc is mounted to the member in a movable manner, such as a tongue and groove connection, such that the distance between same and the lens may be altered to further vary the image. This moving connection comprises the means for movably mounting the support means mounting means for collective movement of the light sources relative to the lens.
The energizing means comprises means for intermittently energizing the light sources. The intermittent energizing means comprises a power source and a flasher circuit which may comprise a heat sensitive switch, a delay circuit or the like. Means are also provided for controlling the frequency of the intermittent energizations. The control means, in the simplest case, comprises a dimmer switch or the like which serves to vary the power to the flasher circuit thereby adjusting the frequency of blinking of the light sources.
The base preferably has a tripod configuration and may support a plurality of tubular members of the type described herein. When a number of tubular members are employed, it is preferable that same be oriented in the same general direction to create contiguous or overlapping images. When multiple tubular members are employed, separate frequency control means may be utilized for the light sources in each member. In this case, the light sources in each member can be intermittently energized at selected rates. In addition, it is preferable to have a single control means connected to control all of the energizing means simultaneously, such that the flashing of the light sources in all of the members may be varied in unison, if desired.
To the accomplishment of the above and to such other objects as may hereinafter appear, the present invention relates to an image projecting device as set forth in the following specification and recited in the annexed claims, taken together with the accompanying drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like parts, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the image projecting device of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a tubular member comprising a part of the image projecting device of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a typical circuit configuration for the image projecting device of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the image projecting device of the present invention comprises a base, generally designated A, preferably comprising a vertical telescoping member 10 from which extends a plurality of preferably collapsible legs 12. As depicted in FIG. 1, base A is a tripod of conventional design, such as is commonly utilized in the photographic industry. However it should be understood that the particular configuration of base A, in itself, constitutes no part of the present invention and that bases, supports, or tracks of many different configurations could be utilized to support the tubular members of the present invention. The tripod configuration of base A, shown in FIG. 1, is disclosed for purposes of illustration only, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the present invention.
Mounted on vertical member 10, in a position adjustable manner, are a plurality of tubular members B, the precise structure of which are disclosed in detail below. Each of the tubular members B serves to create and project a light image which may be projected on different types of surfaces, for example, a screen or the like, but is preferably created for projection on a wall or ceiling. It is preferable, although not necessary, to align all of the tubular members B in a manner which permits the images projected to be, in whole or in part, overlapping or contiguous.
The images projected by each of the tubular members B are manually variable by altering the relative positions of the light sources therein. In addition, the images projected by each of the tubular members B are electrically variable, to some extent, by control circuitry which may be wholly contained within a control circuit C, or which may be partially contained within control circuit C and partially contained within the individual tubular members B. Control circuit C is adapted to be connected to a power source, such as a conventional electrical outlet, but may also be adapted to receive power from other sources, such as battery packs or the like. Control circuit C can also be a remote control device.
The structure of one of the tubular members B is illustrated in FIG. 2. Member B comprises a hollow cylindrical or tubular structure 14 having an open front end 16 and an open rear end 18. Mounted within open front end 16 is a lens 20, preferably of the single or double planoconvex type or fresnel type, made of plastic or glass.
Located approximately midway between the ends of tubular member 14 is a disc or plate 22 having a plurality of substantially parallel bores or openings 24 therethrough. Openings 24 may be distributed across the surface of disc 22 in any desired manner.
The position of disc 22 along the length of tubular member 14 and, thus, the distance between disc 22 and lens 20 may be varied by movably mounting disc 22 relative to tubular member 14. This can be conveniently accomplished by providing an elongated longitudinally-directed slot 26 in the upper surface of tubular member 14. An externally threaded shaft 28 is adapted to extend from the upper portion of disc 22 through slot 26 and above the surface of tubular member 14. An internally threaded wingnut 30 or the like is received on shaft 28. Loosening wingnut 30 permits manual displacement of disc 22 within tubular member 14 within the range defined by slot 26. However, other types of clamps, such as a friction clasp or the like may also be used to accomplish this result. Variation of the position of disc 22 within tubular member 14 permits the plurality of light sources supported by disc 22 to be collectively moved with respect to lens 20.
A plurality of control rods 32 are provided, each of which is adapted to be received within a different one of the openings 24 in disc 22. At the forward end of each of the control rods 32 is mounted light source 34. The rear ends 36 of the control rods 32 extend out the open rear end of tubular member 14 so as to permit access thereto. This configuration permits individual manual adjustment of the position of each of the control rods 32 with respect to disc 22 and, thus, each of the light sources 34 with respect to lens 20.
Access to light sources 34 is provided by forming tubular member 14 with a pivotable front section 38, or removable clamp-on lens. Front section 38 of tubular member 14 is connected to the remaining portion of tubular member 14 by means of a hinge 40 which permits pivoting thereof. The parts of tubular member 14 are locked together by means of a latch 42 of any conventional configuration. Opening the front section of tubular member 14 permits easy replacement of light sources 34 and, in addition, permits the insertion of a mask 44 or light filters, reflectors or the like between the light sources 34 and the lens 20, if desired, or in front of lens 20, as shown on the figure as 44'. Masks 44 may be used to provide a particular visual effect such as defining the periphery of the projected image in a particular shape, or can be masks of various color patterns or images. Light reflector 47 or anti-reflectors can also be used as illustrated on one of the bulbs.
Light sources 34 may be any conventional light generating device. One such device which has been found to be particularly suitable for this application is what is commonly known as a "Christmas tree bulb", which has an intermittent energizing means in the form of a flasher circuit built into the base thereof. Such bulbs are quite inexpensive and are readily commercially available from a number of manufacturers in a variety of different colors or clear. Bulbs may also be painted with glass dyes or made to project certain images. The intermittent energizing circuit situated within the base of the bulb may be a heat sensitive switch or the like which will intermittently energize the bulb at a rate which is determined by the amount of power applied thereto. Thus, the frequency of flashing or blinking of the light can easily be controlled by regulating the amount of power applied to the bulb. By increasing the power applied to the bulb, the flashing frequency increases. Similarly, decreasing the power applied to the bulb decreases the frequency of flashing.
The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 shows the use of a plurality of "Christmas tree bulbs", all of which are connected to a single parallel circuit and all of which will flash independently at a rate determined by the amount of power applied to the circuit. Bulbs 34 may be a variety of different colors or clear. Preferably, the rear end 36 of each of the control rods 32 is provided with a colored cap, coded in accordance with the color of the bulb mounted to the front end thereof. This permits the operator of the device to distinguish particular control rods and, thus, the bulbs which are attached thereto, in order to give the operator greater facility in changing the projected image.
Different types of light sources may be utilized with equal success. However, if light sources are utilized without integral flashing circuits, it is preferable to include, in the control circuitry, a separate flashing circuit such as are commercially available from a variety of different companies, including Leviton. FIG. 3 schematically illustrates the manner in which the control circuitry could be implemented.
As seen in FIG. 3, four tubular members, designated B1, B2, B3 and B4, are connected to control circuit C. Tubular members B1, B2, B3 contain the "Christmas tree bulbs", discussed above, which have individual flashing circuits integrally mounted in the bases thereof. Thus, no additional flasher circuit is required for same. However, for illustrative purposes, a tubular member B4 is included which has light sources of the non-flashing type. For this reason, a conventional flasher circuit 46 is included in control circuit C in order to provide for the blinking of the light sources in tubular member B4. The lights can also be non-blinking, if desired.
Each of the tubular members B1, B2, B3, B4 is connected to a separate dimmer switch S1, S2, S3, S4, respectively, such as those which are commercially available from Lutron as Model No. LC 300CB lamp cord dimmer, or the like. Each of the dimmer switches is basically a potentiameter which can be adjusted to vary the magnitude of the power applied to the tubular member connected thereto. Variation of the power applied to the tubular member varies the flashing frequency and light intensity output of the bulbs therein. Thus, the flashing frequency and light output intensity of each of the tubular members B can be individually varied by control of one of the various dimmer switches S1 through S4.
Each of the dimmer switches S1 through S4, in turn, is connected to a master dimmer switch Sm which controls the flashing frequency and light output intensity of each of the tubular members B1 -B4 simultaneously. Thus, the operator of the device can control each of the tubular members individually, and all of the tubular members collectively, through this simple circuit configuration. Remote control devices can also be used to dim or brighten lights.
It will now be appreciated that the present invention relates to a device for projecting variable light images. The light images which are projected may be varied in several different ways. First, the manner in which each of the individual light sources affects the image projected by the tubular member within which same is mounted can be adjusted by simply adjusting the position of the control rod to which same is mounted and, thus, the distance between the bulb and the lens. In addition, the entire image may be changed by changing the position of disc 22 such that the distance between all of the bulbs and the lens is varied in unison, or by rotating disc 22 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The projected image may be varied by changing the mask which is interposed between the bulbs and the lens, or the mask in front of the lens, or by changing the lens itself, or adding light reflectors.
In addition, changes in the light image may be achieved by changing the flashing frequency of the light sources. This may be done conveniently by dimmer switches connected to each of tubular members, respectively, which control the rate or frequency of flashing of the bulbs in the tubular member connected thereto. In addition, a master dimmer switch may be utilized to vary the flashing frequency and intensity of light output of all of the tubular members in unison.
It should also be appreciated that the present invention is composed of relatively inexpensive and reliably acting parts which operate in a manner which permits wide variations in the projected images without requiring a high degree of artistic skill, or sophisticated electronics. Thus, the device of the present invention is equally suitable for residential use as it is for mass appeal in art galleries and theatrical situations.
While only a single preferred embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed herein for purposes of illustration, it is obvious that many modifications or variations could be made thereto. It is intended to cover all of these variations and modifications which fall within the scope of the following claims:

A Saab Story?
Saab Automobile was founded in Sweden in 1947. Originally, it was the auto manufacturing division of Swedish Aeroplane Limited, now an aerospace and defense company. The auto division was sold in 1990 to General Motors who, in turn, sold it to Spyker Cars N.V. in 2010 as part of their brand shedding. Spyker, now renamed Swedish Automobile, is a Dutch company that was founded in 1999 to design and manufacture supercars but itself is in bankruptcy with an uncertain future. Its collapse took the Saab brand down with it.
Saab's future is tied to disentanglement from Spyker and recapitalization by another owner. In 2011 Chinese companies Pang Da Automobile Trade and Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile attempted to buy Saab but the purchase was blocked by former owner GM. They opposed the transfer of GM technology to any Chinese company. GM has retained the licensing rights to the technology and has preference shares in Saab and thus has a say over the next steps.
The question is who wants Saab now, and why? The quirky automobile had a loyal cult-like following over the decades. Images of the 1948 92001, 1958 92B, the 93B, the 1960's 96, the Sonetts, and the 1968 Saab 99 continue to resonate in car lovers' minds. The 900 was introduced first in 1978 and sold nearly one million vehicles. The 9000 was introduced in 1985 and became Saab's first true luxury car. Aficionados loved the funny, egg-shaped vehicle with its unique characteristics. But following GM's purchase, the car was homogenized onto shared platforms and the brand lost its distinctiveness. Other than the nameplate, it became tough to recognize any attributes unique to Saab vehicles in the final years of GM's ownership. Brand value has declined since 2001 and is about equal to Oldsmobile. That's not encouraging.
So a new owner would need to work from a pipeline of new designs or go back to the drawing board to design a new generation using heritage cues. Then they would need to find modern technology including, presumably, hybrid-electric technology to reach future mileage requirements. They also would need to move beyond the GM technology licenses to have complete control over the vehicle. And finally they would need either to modernize production facilities in Sweden or find a source of manufacture that is cheaper but with high quality. So a buyer would need to redesign an entire line, re-engineer all platforms, re-launch a damaged brand, commit what is likely to take $1 billion of effort or more, and hope the market responds.

text: VX-135 (ALS-2200) is a uridine nucleotide analogue pro-drug that appears to have a high barrier to drug resistance based on in vitro studies. It is designed to inhibit the replication of the hepatitis C virus by acting on the NS5B polymerase. In vitro studies of the compound showed antiviral activity across all genotypes, or forms, of the hepatitis C virus, including genotypes more prevalent outside of the United States.Earlier this year, Vertex announced the first 7-day viral kinetic data for VX-135. Based on these data, the company plans to initiate multiple all-oral, phase II proof-of-concept studies, including a study of VX-135 and ribavirin and a study of VX-135 and telaprevir, the company's approved protease inhibitor marketed as INCIVEK for people with chronic genotype 1 hepatitis C. Vertex is on track to initiate the study of VX-135 in combination with ribavirin by the end of 2012, followed by the study with telaprevir in early 2013. The studies will evaluate safety, tolerability and viral cure rates of 12-week combination regimens in people with chronic non-cirrhotic genotype 1 hepatitis C who have not previously been treated (treatment-naïve). About Hepatitis C Hepatitis C is a blood-borne infectious disease of the liver and is a leading cause of chronic liver disease and liver transplants. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 170 million people worldwide, approximately 3% of the world's population, are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has reported that more than three million people in the United States are chronically infected with HCV. About Medivir Medivir is an emerging research-based pharmaceutical company focused on infectious diseases. Medivir has world class expertise in polymerase and protease drug targets and drug development which has resulted in a strong infectious disease R&D portfolio. The Company's key pipeline asset is simeprevir (TMC435), a novel protease inhibitor in phase III clinical development for hepatitis C that is being developed in collaboration with Janssen R&D Ireland.

Guardians:Fight For Freedom Chapter Two
Book by: Rachel1712
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
Chapter1 (v.1) - Guardians:Fight For Freedom Chapter Two
Chapter Two
Barerin sat upon what was once his father's throne, the glistening golden sunbeams reflecting off its magnificent polished surface. It made him look like a god. He was a tall muscular man with neatly platted black hair, his eyes were crimson red, his face slightly wrinkled by his age and yet he had a youthful manner about him, he wore a glorious golden plated armour which gleamed in the sun, his sapphire blue cloak hang delicately across his broad shoulders. He peered around the huge hall and watched as guards approached, behind them they dragged a thin, tall man dressed in stained rags, his straggly knotted hair was drenched in blood and sweat, his feet dragging along the cold stone tiles, his knees scraping across the floor, his blood gushing out of his open wounds turned the tiles red.
The guards dropped the man in front of Barerin, Barerin stared at the man, and the man clambered to his knees, barely conscious. He lifted his head slightly to see the emperor rising from his throne; the emperor paced over to the man and knelt in front of him. Barerin raised his hand, and lifted the man chin, then the man spat at the emperor, Barerin then grabbed the man's thinning hair and slammed his head into the floor. The man's head now cracked wide-open, blood running down his face and into his eyes, as Barerin turned and walked back to the throne as he reached it. The man spoke with a bitter tone and gasping for air "you think you are emperor because you wear that crown, HA, you are pathetic you are not worthy of that throne". The man laughed through the pain as the guards pounded at his ribcage and chest. Barerin looked round and saw the man grinning with his mouth full of blood, his teeth broken, he spat out some of the blood onto the floor, and the guards kept pounding the sound of bones breaking could be heard. The man looked at the floor and the blood dribbled from his mouth. Barerin paced back up to the man, took out his silver plated sword and put it to the man's neck, "Any last words before I run you through" Barerin replied in a distasteful tone. The man turned and spoke "yer, the rebels will rise up and bring you and your tyrannical empire down, those who will never submit to your oppression will fight you at every turn, Emperor of chaos". The man grinned one last time before the tip of Barerin's sword was wedged in his heart, the man fell upon the cold brittle stone, his blood oozing out of him and surrounding the corpse in a pool of ruby-red liquid.
"Get the servants to clean this mess up, before the nobles arrive" he turned and spoke to the guards, Barerin examined his blade before wiping the blood off, he then returned to his throne, he sat quietly down as servants swarmed the hall, bringing mops, buckets and sponges and had already began cleaning the pool of blood. Two large servants lifted the body, and carried it out the back door, the servants scrubbed. The smell of the corpse had already begun filling the air, it was a sickening smell, and made most of the servants gag. Barerin did not mind the smell; he was used to it by now. Once the body was cleaned up, the servants scurried off in all directions like rats.
The large metal doors opened and a breeze blew the autumn leaves in, the sun lit up the golden hall like some heavenly portal being opened, as nervous nobles tread slowly into the grand hall. Some nobles gulping in fear of what the emperor had planned for them. Their foreheads covered in sweat, the guards closed on them, surrounding there every exit and making the nobles gather into a small circle. The emperor stepped sharply down the throne steps and moved gracefully across to the nobles. His large frame frightened many of the nobles, who all gulped in unison, one of the nobles step forward, his sweat beads rolled down his cheek and into his mouth. It's taste, that bitter salty taste made his eyes water. He stuttered "my-lord , I – er we have come as you asked", Barerin paced forward to were the noble stood , Barerin shot a cold glace at the noble, the noble looked away and then took a step back. Barerin drew his sword the noble flinched in fear.Barerin pointed the blade at the noble's throat. A little cut was made from where the tip of blade made contact with the skin, the blood slowly trickled down his throat, the other nobles watched in horror.
"Tell me, who is emperor?" Barerin asked questionably, the noble squirmed "y-you are, milord" Barerin turned and lowered his blade he paced around.
"Yes I am, and that means whatever I say goes" then Barerin raised his voice "I called you here today, to my home, to my domain, so we can set a few things straight, any of you or any members of your land give shelter to the rebels, will be executed in the most public and most horrendous manner". His voice returned to a calmer tone "Is that understood?"
All nobles nodded their heads with agreement, then Barerin spoke in a more serious tone "as prove of what I say is true, this worm here will die" Barerin pointed at the noble who was still bleeding. The noble dropped to his knees and begged Barerin not to do it, but Barerin saw no reason. He called his guards to hold the man up, the man writhed and tried to break free of the guards, he kicked one of the guards in the back of the shin. Barerin watched with delight as the man tried to fight the huge men who were holding him. The guard who was now on the floor holding his knee, grabbed the noble's leg and with his large dagger dug it deep into the noble's leg, the noble shrieked in pain. More guards came pouring in they were holding the other nobles so they could not help, even though they did not want to get involved.
The noble's yellow satin trousers were soaked in blood, the noble was now losing consciousness, he was pale and cold, he looked up at Barerin and struggled to speak, when he did, his last words haunted Barerin and made him lose his grin " The light is rising" the noble collapsed Dead.
Everyone except Barerin was puzzled by what the man said, "get out all of you" Barerin yelled, all guards dragged the nobles out of the palace, Barerin pounded his fist onto the arm of his throne and looked down, thinking about what the man said the light is rising. About five years ago, Barerin travelled to the tower of seers, the tower itself was a tall grey tower split into three equally tall towers that stretched up to the heavens, and it was the home of the seers. The seers were three ageless women who each wielded a physic ability, to see into the past, the present and the future; he travelled everywhere to find the lost forest. The tower was hidden and protected by powerful charms; the lost forest was home to barbarians who are nothing but savage beasts that care only for destruction.
When Barerin reached the tower after killing several barbarians, he got one of the mages who had accompanied him on his mission; the mage studied the runes that surrounded the tower. The mage glowed with amazing light, mana swirling around him, and then his hands glowed with a bright blue beam. He then shot the beam at the tower. The force field that surrounded the tower exploded with such a force, Barerin and all his companions were thrown backwards, some of the companions hit trees, others were launched into the air and smacked down, and the impact shattered their bones. Barerin's armour protected him from the worst of the impact, when he got into the tower, he paced up the third tower were the seer of the future was. She was named Luna, daughter of the moon. The room was bright and candles were lit all around the room, there a woman sat, she had long pale lilac hair that reached the floor, her eyes were pale blue. Luna spoke in a gentle tone "What brings you here Emperor Barerin", Barerin was shocked "How do you know me", she replied "I see the future, I see you… Ask your question"
"Fine, many people say I will die, but who will kill me", the seer's eyes turned black and the room darkened, gusts of wind blew in and around the room. The candle light was extinguished. Barerin was cold as if he was standing on a block of ice he shivered.
Luna's voice changed a deep, dark masculine voice spoke from Luna's mouth "The light will rise, the light will rise, you death will come at the hands of the light, the keeper, the protector, the guardian, the ancient prophecy will be fulfilled, she is coming"
The room was bright once again; Luna's mind was returned to her. Barerin was confused, "What is the light?" Barerin asked, Luna looked at Barerin, her eyes were blue again, and she spoke softly "the light is an ancestral being, the very essence of pure good and light, why? What did I say?"
"Hmm- you spoke about an ancient prophecy and about a woman I think, the light will rise"
"Oh, I see, you should take your leave now, please go"
"What aren't you telling me?"
"Trust me young prince, you do not want to know more, nor will it change that will come to pass"
"So…you're saying my fate is sealed, no matter what I do"
"The future cannot be change, it is destiny"
"I don't believe you; I will hunt this guardian down and slay her"
"You're not listening, destiny has chosen your path, now leave"
"Fine, we will see about that"
Barerin remembered that day well, the day he found out who was going to kill him. Barerin continued looking at the throne, and then he heard footsteps drawing near. Barerin turned and faced one of large broad doors that led away from the throne room; a young short blonde haired man marched forward through. He was tall, youthful and yet he had a cruel demeanour about him, he wore a similar plated armour to the Emperor, though it had not seen as many battles and was more lustrous. He wore a fiery red hooded cloak over his armour; it bore a large embroidered insignia. The young man knelt before the emperor and spoke with a tone of admiration "Father, is there anything you would like me to do"
"Yes, since you ask"
"Anything, father"
"Yes, I would like you to hire Marcus Davos mercenaries, and tell them to attack the monks of the Darklands"
"As you wish father, But Davo's minions control the west border of Argon"
"Thank you Dorian, and your concern is misplaced, they are there on my orders" Dorian smiled and hurried out the hall, he continued until he reached the outdoors. He looked around before walking down the steps; the steps were large and now made of granite. Dorian paced over to the giant metal gate that separates the palace and the town from each other, a barrier that separates the poor from the rich. He struggled to lift the large rusted latch. When he did, he grabbed hold of the gate and pulled it towards him, it took a great amount of strength. He raced up to the horse stable, his stride equal to three steps and mounted a brown horse with a brilliant white mane. The horse neighed and trotted gracefully across the mountainous terrain. The rocky ground gliding past the horse's hooves, he rode quickly to the narrow alleys in the centre of Argon; he pulled his blood red hood over his head and crept swiftly further into the alleys. The alleys were long and filled with rubbish, the smell was nearly unbearable. Dorian pulled his cloak over to cover his mouth and nose, the smell of rotting flesh and garbage filled the air, and the smell got worse further in.
When he reached the centre of the alleys where all alleys joined, and where a band of mercenaries kept their base, two mercenaries stood guard. Both wearing brown leather armour, which covered their torso and thighs, it was studded with blunt metal spikes and bore the mark of Marcus Davo. They both carried large wooden spears, which had large iron barbs. The men stood blocking the way forward, Dorian strolled towards them, as soon as he reached them, and they drew their spears across the centre of the path.
Dorian thought for second something tells me they don't want me getting past them, Dorian spoke harshly " move aside, I have business with your leader" one of the men , a tall broad man spoke " I highly doubt that"
He sighed " look , I need to hire some , help as it were, on my father's behalf" the men turned and the man continued " and that depends on who your father is" Dorian grinned and removed his hood, the men gasped " of course young prince , follow us".
Dorian smiled and followed them; the other man glanced back at Dorian, and then continued down the path.
When they reached the centre of the alleys, one of the guards bent down and opened a small drain that led deep into the sewers, the same man jumped down, Dorian did the same and the other guard followed. They marched through the foul smelling sewer. Dorian tried not to pay any attention to it. He looked around, the walls were damp and black, they travelled deeper into the sewers. Until they reached a wall that was not like the others, it was clean and made of brick and in the wall was a large iron door. The guards took him through it and into a huge cavern, and there sat upon a silver throne was Marcus Davo. A red headed dwarf dressed in fine chainmail armour, his beard plaited and long, he sat there with guards either side of him, and he glanced in Dorian's direction and smiled.
Marcus leaped out of his throne and walked towards him, speaking admirably "Well if it isn't prince Dorian, son of the mighty king Barerin", Dorian raised his eyebrow in response then Marcus continued, "What brings you here, I mean surely you should be making friends with the nobles and not hanging out with the likes of me". Dorian sighed and said "listen Marcus, my father has asked me to hire some help to deal with the monks of the darklands"
"Oh I see, well we aren't cheap"
"Of course" Dorian reached into his pocket and brought out a large leather bag and threw it at Marcus' feet " in that bag, is two thousand Argas" Marcus reached down and picked up the bag, and peered inside.
"Great let's talk business, shall we"
"All my father wants, is the monks eradicated"
"It will be done young prince" Dorian left the cavern and run back up the sewers and up the drain, Dorian had terrific memory and had remembered the way back through the alleys. He ran to the beginning of the alleys, his cloak swaying either side of him, he paused for a second and peered around to see if people were about, he found none. He continued back to the centre of Argon's town, he searched for his horse, when he found it, he mounted it, the horse whinnied and began trotting, then suddenly he hit the horse's thighs and with that the horse burst into life, galloping as fast as its legs could carry it. Dorian leaned in the direction he wanted the horse to go and the horse obeyed.
Finally, he reached his father's palace, the beautiful golden palace; he demounted and led the horse back up to the stables. The horse trotted happily alongside Dorian, now and then, it would stop and graze on nearby grass, he watched and waited for it to stop when it did, Dorian and the horse continued.
When they reached the stable gate, he lifted the wooden latch and led the horse inside; he tied its reins to the wooden hook on the shelf, he turned a petted the horse, it neighed happily and nudged Dorian's arm. He patted its back and brushed its mane, then paced out and hiked back to the palace.
He rushed into the palace throne room, but Barerin wasn't there, he raced up the stairs and knocked on his father's study, there was no answer, he knocked again, and again there was no answer, he was getting worried.
Dorian ran as fast as he could, searching every room but he found no trace of his father, then he heard a faint mumble outside, he looked outside the bay window, and saw his father talking to one of the nobles, a local lord who had favour with Barerin. He smiled and ran back down the stairs and headed outside, into the garden.
"Father, wait" he shouted, Barerin and the noble turned, Barerin sighed and muttered "I apologize for my idiotic son"
"Of course I have two of my own"
"I'd better find out what he wants"
"Of course milord, I will leave you to deal with your son", the lord bowed and walked towards the palace. Barerin paced over to Dorian "What is it son"
"Father I've been looking for you everywhere"
"Well, you have found me, what is so important to interrupt my meeting with one of the local lords"
"Father, I wished to inform you that Marcus Davo has sent his mercenaries to the Darklands"
"Good, the monks will finally be destroyed once and for all"

Just as he finished the sentence a medium sized girl with shoulder length brown hair ran in, stumbling over her feet she dropped her books. The class let out a low giggle. Well all except one. After quickly picking them up and pulling a piece of hair behind her ear she gave a shy wave and said
"Hey. I'm Khara." The teacher smiled.
"Ok, please sit down next to Brad" He said, gesturing to the black haired boy sitting on the left side of the first row.
Khara nodded and took her seat. The boy turned to face her.
"Hey, I'm Brad. So what brings you to America?" He asked shyly.
"Well, my parents wanted a fresh start and they always wanted to go here, so I guess here I am" Khara replied smiling at him.
"Well it's great to meet you" Brad replied smiling back. Do you want me to show you're around?" He added.
"Yeah sure" She replied, her smile turning into a grin.
Whoa, she/he's cute. The pair thought about each other.
The truth was Khara had moved to America after being bullied for the past five years of her life because of being a 'geek'. Her dad was offered a job in America. In England he was un-employed so it was a great opportunity for him to make more money and for the whole family to have a better life. She lived at home with her bossy younger sister Marta and her older brother Ricky who was too involved in video games to talk to anyone. Also her mother Susan and father David. She could see that Brad seemed to be trust worthy. But he was so cute; she couldn't let someone that cute know she was bullied. Well that's what she thought anyway. Truth is Brad was a total geek himself.
"Aww well isn't this cute. Does Brad think a certain British newbie is just so adorable" A voice said from behind, in a girly mocking tone.
Brad sighed and turned around.
"What are you talking about Raymond" Brad said, slightly frustrated. His face had gone a pale colour of pink.
"Oh. You know what I mean. Isn't Khara pretty? What about you Max? What do you think?" Said Raymond, smirking.
"Oh yeah. She's so pretty! He said in a sarcastic way. Just Brad's type right, Bradly?" Said Max smirking himself.
This time it was Khara's turn to go a light shade of pink. She kept her head down and starred at her paper. Brad's face was now as red as a strawberry.
"Gonna answer any time soon, geek?" Said Raymond his patience running out.
"My opinion has nothing to do with you Raymond. And she's a girl not an object. Do you even have manners?" Brad asked, rolling his eyes and returning to his work.
"Brad fancies Khara, Brad fancies Khara" The two boys whispered directing it to the pair a desk in front of them.
Now Khara had had enough. She turned round, frustration shown all over her face.
"Would you shut your mouth please? Don't you have work to do instead of making up stupid songs?" She said an angry tone filled her voice.
Raymond and Max sat silently, their mouths agape.
This was Khara's time to smirk.
"Finally. Some peace." She said giving them a sarcastic smile as she turned back to face her desk.
"That was really brave of you. Almost no one stands up to them." Brad said astonished.
"Well I guess I just did" Khara replied laughing.
Shortly after the bell went to signal the start of lunch.
"Okay class make sure you finish the homework due tomorrow, except you Khara your excused" Mr Jones said even though no one was really listening.
The class packed out the door at full speed, that made it seem like they hadn't ate in months.
All except Khara and Brad, Khara was still trying to adjust while Brad…well she didn't know why Brad was taking so long.
"So erm, would it be alright if I sat with you at lunch? I totally understand if there's not enough space, I mean I'm sure you have tons of friends. And why would you even want to be seen with me unless, well no why would you…" She kept babbling on.
"Whoa." Brad said putting his hands on her shoulders. Bust as fast as he did he took them off realizing what he had done. Both of them went a bright shade of pink, again.
He laughed it off and finished his sentence.
"Sure you can sit with me, I promised to show you around didn't I?" He said smiling.
"Thanks" She smiled back. As they walked to the cafeteria together.
"So where are your friends then?" Said Khara placing her tray down next to Brad's.
"Oh, well you see…" He trailed on.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I understand…" Khara said looking down.
Brad suddenly seemed to be highly interested in his lunch tray.
This turn Khara put her hand on his shoulder.
"Well, I'll be your friend" She said grinning at him.
He grinned back.
"Thanks" He replied.
"So, Khara. Your names so pretty, does it have a meaning?" Brad asked, casually making conversation. Though her name wasn't the only thing he though was pretty. He thought everything about her was pretty from her looks, her name and her personality. But he'd never let her know that. He was really bad with girls.
"Um yeah. It means I love you in Arabic" Khara replied. "I really like your name to" She finished.
"That's lovely" He said smiling. "So what are you interested in?" He asked, carrying on the conversation.
"I love English, the subject I mean. I'm also really into psychology and I love to play the guitar. How about you?" She replied
"I love English to, I also play the piano" Brad said.
"Ooo, could you teach me sometime, I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano." Khara asked.
"Yeah sure, in return would you teach me the guitar" He asked laughing.
"Of course" She replied a slight giggle in her voice.
"I'm glad you moved here, Khara. I'm sure it will be more fun with you here" Said Brad smiling at her for the hundredth time today. And blushing as well for that matter.
Khara blushed as well.
"Same here, I'm sure we're going to great friends." She replied.
And from that lunch, they both knew they would have a long lasting friendship. However no one could predict what a crazy time they were going to have together. But that's for another time.

A Brand New Day
"Wake up!" James awoke with a start, rolling groggily towards his bed-side table he looked at his alarm clock. 07:15. Damn! He'd over-slept, he was due in school in 45 minuets he thrust back the covers and stumbled out of bed.
A few moments later and he was sat at the breakfast table with a few of the other occupants of the house, all sipping coffee and rubbing tired eyes as the smell of bacon wafted from the open kitchen where Sarah was cooking with one hand and adjusting the tie of one of the younger lads with the other.
"Hurry up!" she called up the stairs as she manoeuvred herself, the Frying pan and the Bacon through the heaving mass of sluggish school boys with practiced ease and deposited a couple of slices upon each plate. "Now eat up lads, we're running late as it is" The boys happily obliged and soon they were streaming out the door to head for their respective schools. James leading the usual group of Highcroft students picked up Along the way their usual friends and Hannah's red hair engulfed James' face as she crushed him with a hug. "finally awake then?! Lazy! I was texting you at half six and you never replied!"
"half six? Hannah? Who gets up at half six?"
"people who care about their appearance, unlike some certain others…"
"so not you then?"
"oi!" she laughed and used her tried and tested tactic of swinging her heavy school bag at his head. It connected and James stumbled back, still laughing as he crashed into a small lad, obviously a first-year and together they both careened into the road.
James; Still laughing, Turned to apologise to the boy, but. He was gone. he felt the air move alongside the three-tonne metal monster as it tore past him. He heard the screech of Brakes. The Thump of impact, gasps of horror at what, momentarily ago, had been a young, happy school boy. Time seemed to almost stop as James realised what had happened and tied to make sense of what his mind was telling him. The laugh still haunting his face he sprinted round to the front of the bus reaching the bloody mass which held the entire street transfixed with its sheer, horrifying presence. He grabbed an arm and gently tried to roll the boy over onto his back. There was a single, abhorrent, snap. A Girl screamed. Sirens were blaring in the distance, people whispering to each other. The sounds, which moments ago were completely unnoticeable came flooding back into James' head as he felt the pulpy flesh searching for massive bleeds as he desperately tried to remember his short first aid lesson a few weeks earlier. He carried on rolling his hands over the shredded blazer, Suddenly it felt sodden. He ripped it open and was rewarded with a torrent of blood which spurted over his face. Half-blinded and now in absolute trauma, hands desperately searching for the bleed, he found it. He tore more strips off the blazer and held them tight to the Gaping wound as around him people began to react. Hannah appeared at his side, her pretty, Heart-shaped face contorted with nausea as she took over holding the rag. While James checked for anymore broken bones.
"James… James! JAMES! I think… I think… I think he's gone. James, he's stopped bleeding. It's far too fast. Look!" He looked and indeed, the flow of blood had indeed slowed to a mere trickle. It was no longer gushing out. "I think his hearts stopped"
"I've got a strong pulse!" One of the passengers with her fingers at his throat declared "you two keep working!" James looked down at the boys face, It looked less…. damaged somehow. Peaceful. He looked almost asleep when he opened his eyes and blinked up at James' blood smeared, traumatised and absolutely astounded face.
"where am I? What happened? Why am I on the floor?" He got no answer other than a sea of staggered faces. And a cry; "it's a miracle!"
"I'm fine! He announced, rising to his feet and brushing off his shredded clothes ( a rather superfluous gesture). A woman in the crowd fainted. And the thoroughly confused paramedics dealt with her before huddling the boy- who'd since declared himself perfectly healthy and having the name of Colin - into the ambulance to be taken to the Hospital for tests and observation.
It took a long time for everyone else to come out of their transfixed state. But gradually they drifted away, slapping the occasional pat on the back to James and Hannah. And expressing opinions on what they had just Witnessed. Neither spoke as arrangements were made to take them both home they just stood. Confounded.

Reviews for Pork Chops with Apples and Stuffing
"Could this work in a slow cooker to make really tender chops?"
"This is a GREAT recipe. Best of all , it is so easy! You can't go wrong with this one."
"Mouth watering fall off the bone deliciousness and actually is my husband's most requested favorite dinner!"
"Excellent dish, very tasty and super easy to prepare. It seems much fancier than the ingredients and effort needed to make it. Honestly, we make a lot of gourmet dishes at our house, recipes which have many more ingredients and require advanced skills and those can be a lot of fun when you like to cook but for an easy meal this is hard to beat."
"I didn't have apple pie filling, so I sliced up apples and added some cinnamon and sugar. It was great! The whole family loved it."
"Delish!!!! Made this just as stated!!!"

Good. They chose to attempt robbery,he chose to stop them and save his life.
This is a discussion on Good: Armed robbery victim turns the tables on three armed assailants within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; RANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Authorities are searching for an attempted robber in Winter Garden. A man at a bank ATM found himself ...
Looks like pretty good shooting on the part of the would-be victim - the video seems to shot three marked locations of brass, which may mean he went three hits for three shots.RANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Authorities are searching for an attempted robber in Winter Garden.
A man at a bank ATM found himself staring down the barrel of a gune arly Friday morning. He told police he spotted a suspicious SUV parked across the street from the back when all of a sudden the SUV was parked next to him and a gunman got out. Police said the gunman opened fire on the bank customer but he was also armed. The victim drew his weapon and returned fire hitting the gunman three times.
Lt. Keith Ralston of the Winter Garden Police Department said the injured gunman got back into the getaway vehicle with his two partners and they all took off. Some police officers nearby heard the gunfire and immediately began searching the area. Lt. Ralston said officers saw the getaway vehicle speeding and driving recklessly. They followed the driver until he turned onto Roper Road. The vehicle stopped and three people got out. One of the people in the silver SUV told police he had been shot. Police said two others fled into the woods but not for long.
Winter Garden robbery and shooting
Now, the bad. The victim was at an ATM at 0300, and noticed the "suspicious" vehicle containing the failed robbers before he pulled up to the ATM. Seems to me that that would have been an excellent opportunity to drive away and save himself a lot of aggravation (as well as risk to his own life).
They're still looking for the third suspect. The one he shot is in critical condition in the hospital, and one of the remaining two was caught after a brief chase.

Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.
Learning to shoot again : Starting Over
Good. They chose to attempt robbery,he chose to stop them and save his life.
Terrible spelling in that report.
Unless the victims admit to the robbery it could have been anything.
Definitely pass up the quick cash in that circumstance.

Avoidance and timeliness would prevent a lot of problems like this.
It did get three BG's off the street for a while.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Bravo Zulu on ourATM customer for fighting back. Now, I hope he learned to do his banking at a more reasonable hour with suspisious SUV's lurking about.
Why would anyone go to an ATM at 3:00 am? That just sounds like the makings of a bad situation. Glad he's OK...hope he changes his banking habits.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
IMO The victim has done a good amount of shooting before this event.
Training really helps!!!!!!
I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness,
nor the arrow for its swiftness,
nor the warrior for his glory.
I love only that which they defend.

YANGON (Reuters) – A Myanmar court sentenced a man to death on Thursday after finding him guilty of a 2013 bomb attack on a hotel that killed two people and wounded one, a police officer said.
Saw Tun Tun was convicted of bombing a guesthouse in the town of Taungoo, 55 km (35 miles) from the capital, Naypyitaw, in the first in a string of mysterious blasts in different parts of the country that has never been fully explained.
Saw Saw Tun had confessed to planting the bomb after being paid 20,000 kyat (about $20) by a man called Saw Htowah, said a police officer in Taungoo.
"As far as I know, Saw Htowah, the mastermind behind this blast, is still at large and I have no idea what their motive was," said the officer, who declined to be identified as he is not authorised to speak to media.
The Democratic Voice of Burma, a television station and website, also reported the sentencing.
The series of explosions and attempted bombings that in late 2013 included one at a hotel in Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, which injured an American tourist. Authorities blamed some of the blasts on hardliners within the Karen National Union (KNU), an ethnic minority rebel group that signed a ceasefire agreement with the government after almost six decades of fighting.
Representatives of the KNU pledged at the time to cooperate with investigators.
The police officer told Reuters that the KNU had helped with the investigation that led to the arrest of Saw Tun Tun, an ethnic Karen, two months after the blast.

Scenario on airport works
Session 5
Presentation 1
Futureland International Airport
Work site
When will construction begin?
What is the daily schedule for work?
Will construction vehicles have access to movement areas?
Which ones?
Who is the point of contact?
Radio frequency
How are runways typically assigned?
Is either a primary arrival or departure runway?
Are both runways typically active and used?
Multiple or single runway?
Can a single runway support the expected traffic volume?
How is RWY 6/24 typically used?
How is RWY 13/31 typically used?
If restrictions to arrivals are anticipated, what is the plan to ensure restrictions are in place in a timely manner?
Does the facility have the means to enact departure delays if required?
What are they?
Who will be responsible for carrying them out.
Normal ground operations will have to be adapted to accommodate a single runway with a single point of access/exit.
Can aircraft be held in the RWY 24 turning circle?
This could be advantageous for staging RWY 13 departures, or
Holding a RWY 31 arrival while another aircraft lands or departs.
The taxiway connecting RWY 13/31 and the Main Apron will have to be protected to avoid gridlock.
Ensure a sensible plan is in place for movement between the Grass Parking area and the Main Apron with extra emphasis on awareness of activity in and around the work site.
What plan is in place to communicate all changes to normal operations to airport users?
Will additional staffing be required to:
Manage flow control;
Coordinate a more complicated ground movement plan;
Accommodate more airborne holding;
Manage potential ground hold procedures; or
Control movement of construction vehicles to/from the work site?
High level briefing covering:
Changes to current procedures;
Duration and schedule of planned closure;
Any changes made in the previous steps;
Weekly and/or daily briefings:
Construction status;
Weather forecast and its possible impact;
Problems encountered/lessons learned.
If arrivals and departures are typically sequenced to different runways then it can be anticipated that greater than normal spacing will be required to allow for each departure to have time to back taxi to the takeoff position.
Return to previous slide.
If the airport typically only uses one runway at a time then the procedures for a runway 13/31 operation will have to be followed for the duration of the construction project.
Return to previous slide.

Discussion in 'FUN and Sharing Forum for Non-Creator stuff' started by gcuneo2, Apr 19, 2015.
I think it's time for the 3D characters to put some clothes on.....
. You have taken to graphics like a duck to water.
What program are you using now? That's not from Poser is it??
I went nutz and bought "Iclone 6.0"- It's focus is on animation, for $99--- The "Mr pose"- that the generic character guys name, that was $49, the accessory pak was $39---- I've been trying to hide the purchases from my wife via paypal--
There is a lot of the program I don't understand yet--- in particular a lot of the related to lighting... it's render speeds is phenomenal-- virtually instant for each image...
Unlike poser, I can have the program do all the positioning: I set up a figure with what I want: colors, accessories, etc. I them set up a series of animations using preprogrammed motions: Walk, sit, stand, jump--- each one is about 5-7 seconds long. I tell the program to "Play" and I capture key frames that I think will look good.
Just like poser, there are tons of pre-programmed positions. One thing I don't particularly care for: Rotating a head to "look at something" is a pain, for now. It's all a just a few mouse clicks away.
Right now, I honestly don't know what half the stuff is in the program: Apparently I can make my own clothes for the Mr pose quite easily--- I wont gt there for a while- but image a 3d character wearing your company logo on a shirt......
Here's a link to a quik video the character kneels, then stands and waves-- total time for me to slap this together: about 1 minute!
Pretty awesome Glenn!
Just watching the youtube on this product makes my head spin
To say that I am awe struck at your knowledge is a gross understatement.
I've only had the program for 3 days! I realize it has tons to offer-- but I have to focus on a just getting good at a few things at a time: right now I'm focusing on getting the best renders, positioning, and basic lighting Iclone 6 has a trial version--- but some features are blocked, and there is a watermark across anything you export. Got a class about to come in.... 6th grade math!
At least you have something to have watermark on..... it will take me 3 days more just to learn that step.
