Photographer's Note
Taken late afternoon, from behind the Mirage Ger Camp, in Gorkhi Terelj National Park, about 60 km north east of Ulan Bator. The Khan Ger Camp is across the valley. I preferred Mirage because it had hot showers, (The blue roofed building at right). Apparently, 2007 was the driest Spring in decades, & the grass is normally much greener this time of year. Polarized for saturation.

Hello Chris,
Interesting and beautiful landscape. I imagine with greener grass the view is even more breathtaking. The blue building is a nice little focal point in this vast panorama. Nice colours and sharpness. Thanks Chris.

Olá Chris, in that case I would prefer the Mirage as well :D Another great view over the surrounding landscape. I like the interplay bettween this rocky FG and the mountains in the distance creating a good depth. I see pleasant walks that can be done, while staying in the camps.

Hi Chris,
A beautiful view of this landscape, very pleasant with this afternoon light that also creates nice long shadows, especially with those stones. Good composition as well. Thanks for sharing!
pboehringer (770) 2008-06-12 10:03
what a fantastic place to be an have the opportunity to get to know. It sounds exotic, extremely far away of any routes in my life. The image with its composition having the boulders in the foreground followed by the plain in the middle and finally the mountains in the background is excellent.
mumek (20202) 2008-06-16 0:58
Good morning Chris!
Very nicely composed scenery from Mongolia. Beautiful view at the valley and the mountains from rocky hill. Good natural colours, lovely different tones of the green colour.Thanks for the note
best regards

Fuzzy Was He? Once upon a time, before psychedelic Sesame Street of the Seventies turned into Elmo Street (the fifteen-second-skit show of the Nineties), there were Bert and Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, and Big Bird. Perhaps red furball Elmo was nice at first, but he pushed old favorites into the Dumpster. (Whatever happened to Harry and Prairie Dawn?) He also exhibited an unforgivable lack of depth and funk. So Miami artist Arlene Berrie takes Elmo and makes him edgy. Enjoyable are the buttery quality of Berrie's canvases and her impish contemporary approach in Elmo, I Don't Want to Be a Duck and Elmo, I Don't Want to Be a Chicken. She deconstructs Elmo and makes him cool and fit for smart and imaginative children. -- Alfredo Triff Through August 13. Liquid Blue Gallery, 3438 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-571-9123, www.liquidbluegallery.com.
Laws of Nature: Are we searching for the fountain of youth? Why is everyone photographing young people, whether they're rich, middle class, poor, hanging out having fun, spacing out, or just posing? We see them everywhere. Is this a fad? If Kristine Potter's show feels slightly different, it's because her adolescent subjects are imbued with a certain halo of inscrutability. Her children of nature look sophisticatedly expressive, as though the camera has captured them in the midst of a portentous self-defining moment. By the way, all of these kids are white (though there's nothing wrong with that). Of course, the natural world plays a big part in Potter's photos -- depicting the subject's external environment as well as reflecting his or her internal elements. -- Alfredo Triff Through August 13.

Monstrously Tranquil: Christian Curiel's work is influenced by Surrealism, B movies, lowbrow art, and prepubescent deformity in the style of Japanese master Tohl Narita. Now, in the capacity of curator, the Yale graduate and CINTAS fellow assembles some of his friends for "Monstrously Tranquil," an exhibit that seems to subdue the grotesque to accentuate the ominous, but an overall theme is not apparent. There are some interesting pieces though, such as Kristine Potter's enigmatic photograph of a young woman in the woods -- standing on her tiptoes and wearing a stringent expression -- and Adrian Wong's arcane sculpture of two green rabbits facing each other inside a boat, spewing tons of whitish slime, surrounded by plastic shark fins on the floor. -- Alfredo Triff Through August 13.

Mahoning Township Police Chief Kenneth Barnes has released information on several recent incidents that occurred at the Wal-Mart Supercenter.
Trespassing: On Dec. 15 at about 5:45 p.m., police were called to the store. Loss prevention agents told police that Brian S.

The juvenile has been charged with retail theft via citation.
Theft of Purse: On Dec. 20 at 9:34 a.m., a 40-year old female resident of Taft Avenue, Allentown, reported to police that she was shopping in the store. She was in the vacuum aisle and had left her purse unattended for a few moments and it was stolen. About $40 in cash, credit cards and other miscellaneous property was in the purse.
Retail Theft: On Dec. 20 at about 1:45 p.m., police were dispatched to the store for a report that loss prevention agents had a female in custody for retail theft and for violating a previously issued no trespass order/notice. Katrina Marie Vandling, 21, of the 400 block of Maxine Drive Lehighton, (Franklin Township), was arrested for allegedly attempting to leave the store with $46.83 worth of merchandise without paying for it. She is being charged via criminal complaint summons with retail theft and defiant trespass.

New York - Does The New Hotel Law Mean No More Craigslist Vacation Rentals?
New York - Now that New York has outlawed short-term apartment and room rentals, a practice that has given budget travelers an alternative to the city's pricey hotels, we've got to wonder: How will the new law be enforced?
The new law, signed by Gov. David Paterson on Friday, makes it illegal to rent space in most multifamily residential buildings for less than 30 days at a stretch. It reverses a 2009 court decision that sanctioned short-term rentals so long as fewer than half of all units in a residential building were used for non-permanent residents.
The legislation points to Web's role in making it "easier than ever to advertise illegal hotel rooms for rent to tourists." Websites like Craigslist.org, AirBnb.com, and Homeaway.com have become popular clearinghouses for short-term rentals, with many listing accommodations — albeit of varying quality — for under $100. The average rate for a night in a New York City hotel last month was $231.
So will this new law, which goes into effect next May, create a new law-enforcement team tasked with trolling Craigslist for illegal rentals?
Fun as that might be to imagine, enforcement will be far more mundane.
According to Jason Post, a spokesman for the mayor, responsibility for investigating illegal rentals will fall to the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement, a force that deals with quality of life issues. Post said enforcement will be "complaint based" and fueled largely by calls to 311, but he did not rule out the notion that investigators would monitor rental-listing websites. "There are a lot ways to receive complaints," he said.
Penalties will be set by an administrative law judge and can run as high as $2,000 for a violation. Those dwelling in an illegal short-term residence will not be tossed out onto the street unless a safety hazard was also found, Post said.

This is all part of the overall system in play in New York where the government puts the role of caring for the homeless on the landlords. Once the tenant is there for 30 days or more it can take 3 to 6 months to get him out even if he doesn't pay one cent of rent.
Jul 28, 2010 at 01:36 AM
What is the problem that this law was designed to solve?
Jul 28, 2010 at 02:58 AM
There was an article today in one of the major papers that this pending law is basically without merits and is already heading to the courts for a long battle, it was mastermind & pushed through by the big hotel chains who want to control the market so they figured out a way 'with the help of some corrupted politicians' to introduce this new law, but this law will likely get squashed in the end by the courts the same as a lot of new laws who ended up geting squashed by the courts.
With this new law renting out an apartment for the Yomim tovim or for choson kalah for short term will be illegal!
Jul 28, 2010 at 05:49 AM
$2,000 per violation, it sounds like another Bloomberg tactic to cover the budget!
Jul 28, 2010 at 07:40 AM
Does anyone know the law or where to find it?
Which kind of properties does this apply to?
Can I rent out my basement guest-apartment to a family for yomtov?

#5..yes, but they may never move out.
Jul 28, 2010 at 09:58 AM
This is a troubling law to me. There are a lot of great rental sites out there, like MetroFlats.com. We need choices, not restrictions.
Jul 28, 2010 at 10:13 AM
The way I read it, it is only for apartment buildings. I guess this is what "Multi-Family" means here.
I don't think it is meant for basement or guest-apartment to a family for yomtov, a simche, or such.
Who knows?
Jul 28, 2010 at 10:21 AM
What is the qualification for a building to be considered a "multifamily residential building"?
Jul 28, 2010 at 10:22 AM
Next they'll outlaw having guests even for free, and rename the city S'dom.
#2, I suspect the "problem" they were trying to solve is the wealthy hotel owners now had to compete with regular folks for housing visitors to the city. It comes down to $$$, and keeping it in the hands of those who already have plenty.
Jul 28, 2010 at 10:31 AM
you can rent minimmum for 30 days
then you can return money if they stay only 2 days, 5 days ,1 week,etc
Jul 28, 2010 at 10:49 AM
My condominium building has a small guest apartment that condo owners can reserve and rent for people who come to visit. This way the guests will have their own space and we don't have to put air mattresses on the floor to accomodate everyone. The general public can't come and rent, just the condo owners. We're certainly not in competition with the hotels, but this new law will outlaw our guest apartment. How stupid is that?
Jul 28, 2010 at 05:01 PM
I wouldn't worry about it too much. People like us would only rent to "unzere" and they can be called guests, not renters.
Jul 28, 2010 at 05:21 PM
the law was made to collect on the taxes that the state (and the city as well - 1 of the reasons why the city supports this bill) collects from the hotel industry as they are higher then just property and/or income tax
as well as to regulate the condition of the rooms being rented
the hotel industry got behind this bill not only because of the competition but also because they pay high taxes and these landlords dont pay hotel taxes

The signs are everywhere, from the BMWs parked on campus, to the students' designer cell phones, to the number of families paying full price even as tuition and fees climb past $40,000. The most prestigious colleges are overwhelmingly attended by the wealthy.
It's a problem colleges are speaking about more frankly and have tried to address with more financial aid, but with only mixed success. At the most selective schools, a 2003 study found, just 3 percent of students came from the poorest socio-economic quarter of families, while 74 percent came from the richest.
Now, a small group of selective colleges is turning its attention to what may be an untapped reservoir of able, low-income students: the 6.5 million people who attend community colleges. Historically, those students have been ignored by elite colleges, which recruit mostly at high schools and often accept few or no transfers because they want to offer a distinctive four-year experience.
Five well-known private colleges and three highly selective public schools - the flagship campuses of the Universities of Michigan, California and North Carolina - were to announce plans today to accommodate a total of about 1,100 more community college transfer students from low- to moderate-income families over the next four years. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation will contribute about $7 million for support programs, while the colleges will spend more than $20 million of their own money on support programs and financial aid.
The private colleges participating are Amherst, Mount Holyoke, Bucknell, Cornell and the University of Southern California.
Though the numbers amount to a relative handful - with Cal taking by far the most transfers - the hope is that the variety and prestige of the schools involved will persuade others to take a chance on students who have started at two-year schools for financial or family reasons.
"There's a lot of focus at Harvard and lots of other places on the fact that there are no low-income students at those schools, or very few," said Joshua Wyner, the Cooke Foundation's vice president for programs.
"The place where a lot of them are that nobody seems to be looking is community colleges."
A 2005 Department of Education study found more than one-third of 12th graders in 1992 who went first to community college and earned more than 10 credits eventually transferred to a four-year college. But few go to the most selective schools. On those campuses, typically only about one in 1,000 students transferred from a two-year school, Wyner said.
Some of the participating colleges, like Cal and Mount Holyoke, already have close ties with "feeder" community colleges and will expand existing programs. Mount Holyoke, a women's college in Massachusetts, will provide a full-time academic counselor inside nearby Holyoke Community College to identify transfer candidates and help them prepare. It hopes to add about 10 slots per year.
Cal, which already has a wide pipeline from the state's community colleges, will add about 480 slots, and aims to provide preparatory services to 1,400 candidates.

Is Broadway ready for Judd Apatow?
As the preeminent chronicler of male arrested development in films like "Knocked Up" and "Funny People," the comedy powerhouse is now setting his sights on the stage.
"I am excited to try a new medium and to interact with the audience more than I get to when I make a movie," Apatow told TheWrap.
Getting the project finished may take a while, however.
"It could take me a decade to write or the summer," he said, noting that "I really can't say more than that."
Apatow first confessed his ambitions in an interview with GQ magazine this month while promoting "This Is 40," his latest look at marital discord.
"I have a great idea. Maybe like the best idea I've ever had," Apatow told the magazine. "It requires me to create characters and situations that have absolutely nothing to do with my experience."
If the prospect of Apatow hitting the Great White Way raises eyebrows among the matinee-set, it's worth remembering that provocateurs like "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were able to spin their envelope-pushing jokes into the Tony-winning smash, "The Book of Mormon."
Although tight-lipped about what the play will concern, Apatow did reveal to GQ that "it's about victims of the criminal-justice system and the challenges they face."
So much for hoping it would be a musical version of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."

It's not often something makes us excited for summer to be over before it even begins. But Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is doing just that.
The famed gallery will bring rare masterpieces by Monet, van Gogh, Gauguin, and more to Toronto; breaking new art historical ground in the process by exploring the mystical experience in nature.
Organized in partnership with the renowned Musée d'Orsay in Paris, Mystical Landscapes: Masterpieces from Monet, van Gogh and more features some of the greatest artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. This includes names like Emily Carr, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Vassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, Georgia O'Keeffe, and James McNeill Whistler.
In total, 36 artists from 15 countries will be featured. The exhibition will include close to 90 extraordinary paintings and 20 works on paper, representing artwork that conveys the artists' mystical experiences of something greater than themselves.
Of course, the late 1800s and early 1900s were marked by widespread materialism, rapid urbanization, and an increased disillusion with traditional religious institutions. Subsequently, many artists across Europe and North America searched for an alternative, unmediated spiritual path through mystical experiences. They'd convey their spiritual thoughts on nature and the cosmos in what have become some of the world's most famous landscape creations.
Five years in the making, Mystical Landscapes was conceived and developed by Dr.Katharine Lochnan, the AGO's senior curator of international exhibitions, together with guest curators Dr. Roald Nasgaard and Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov, in addition to Guy Cogeval and Isabelle Morin Loutrel of the Musée d'Orsay. Over the past five years, a multi-disciplinary advisory group that was drawn largely from senior faculty at the University of Toronto assisted the AGO. Leading experts in the fields of theology, history, astrophysics, medicine, and psychology have looked at nature mysticism and art through different lenses.
"These masterpieces convey experiences that cannot be put into words," says Lochnan. "The feeling of connecting with a deeper reality—a power much greater than ourselves—is a mystical experience. These experiences may reach any of us all through the contemplation of nature and the cosmos."
Various cultural institutions worldwide have offered support of the project, lending pieces that are very rarely lent.
Mystical Landscapes debuts on October 22 and runs to January 29, 2017, before opening at the Musée d'Orsay in the spring of 2017.
So, if you're looking for an indoor activity and want to tap into your own spiritual side, you should start getting excited.

Juande Ramos, the Sevilla coach is claiming that he turned down a very lucrative deal to coach at White Hart Lane. The Spurs are denying any contact with Ramos or any other coach. I think they protesteth too much.
This is fast developing into a farce and the losers are the Spurs administration who have got their knickers in a twist after losing to Sunderland and Everton. They have egg on their face.
Basically, even if they get Ramos for Jol, the new coach will face the same problem of inflated expectations after Spurs doled out huge amounts of money in the transfer market. It is now written as an edict that the Spurs will finish no less than fourth and book a CL spot. There appears to be little possibility from deviating from that script. But just three games into the Premiership the Spurs want to throw Jol under the bus.
A really classy move. I think Jol dereves better than that. I can see managers lining up to take the Spurs job knowing full well that this board will boot them out at the slightest hint of trouble. But this board is still looking to making a splashy transfer.
So now we have the rumours that Spurs are looking to Juan Roman Riquelme to steady their midfield. This is ridiculous. How much money are the Spurs willing to throw away? At 17m pounds Bent was easily overvalued by about 5m. Look, the Spurs have horrendous injury problems. They don't have Berbatov and Lennon who are their catalysts. Look at Man Utd, three games into the season and they can't buy a goal. Who would have thought that was possible? You do the best with the players you have, not who you want to have. (heh!)
The problem is possibly one of image too. Jol is not a cuddly bear. He is a dour and unsmiling man whose emotional register is one of perpetual glumness. He rarely reacts as if the world is on fire. In an environment of such charged expectations, Daniel Levy might feel like Jol does not have the fire in his belly. This is entirely untrue. Jol is as competitive as the next coach. In fact, as a coach he has done more for the Spurs to bring them to the level where they can even think of cracking the big four. The honourable thing to do would be to give him this season to prove himself without getting into an unseemly row which would bring morale down.
But the people who count are the players. It is upto Robbie Keane to assume a leadership role and come out with an unambiguous statement that supports the manager. This will force the hand of the board because fans come to see the players and not suited poofs who sit in their box with their mineral water and latest squeeze.
Who is lying: Juande Ramos or Spurs?

It should have worked. Make sure the system isn't paging to this vloume.

Thanks again for the response, you are a gentleman.
But the page file is not on this volume. I am really confused by this: it is a Dynamic NTFS data volume, set as a GPT volume and I still can't get it to expand with disk manager. I can even see the unallocated space.
I would try this with diskpart but I don't know how to use this tool good enough.
This is very critical for me and any other suggestions are greatly appreciated
Sometimes it is caused by disk fragment as a piece of fragment is in the end of the volume, so system cannot expand the volume as there is "data" in the end of it.
You can test to run a defragmenter to see if issue can be solved. If still not, you may consider using a third party disk management tool to do the job.
TechNet Subscriber Support in forum |If you have any feedback on our support, please contact email@example.com.
I ran diskeeper and defragged the disk, but I am still getting the same error.
Do you know exactly what this error means?
What is it referring to when it means "there is not enough space on the disk" what disk?
How does it determine the free space?
Is there some way I can understand how it thinks there is no space on the disk?
Because the disk I am trying to expand has 250 GB free. and I can even see in diskmanager 900 GB of contiguous allocated space availabe.
Perhaps some of the advanced commands diskpart can give a clue?
Any suggestions on why it thinks the disk has not free space?
Satish, Thanks for your reply and here is the output:

Whether all the volumes are Primary partitions? Please have a look on this article:
TechNet Subscriber Support in forum |If you have any feedback on our support, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Couple of things
1) Basic volumes are basically partitions. They can only be extended only if they have consecutive free space.
2) Dynamic volumes can be extended to other dynamic disks.
So if you try to extend basic volume make sure you have consecutive free space available.
If it is a dynamic volume convert disk 2 to dynamic and now extend the volume. This should resolve your issue.
Do let me know if there is still an issue. You can also send the snapshot of diskmgmt and volume name,

Thanks for the response, this is a dynamic volume.
I am trying to Expand the dynamic disk to unallocated space on the same disk. This is a raid array attached to the server that I have just expanded.
I tried to upload a screen print but it won't let me, the file is to big. Do you have an email address i can send it to you?
I think I have identified the problem:
The way "dynamic disks" (aka "LDM partitions") work is to treat a set of partitions (in my case, partition #1 from this disk and presumably other partitions from other disks) as if it were a disk. You can then add, delete, and modify partitions within that partition.
The trouble is that the main LDM partition on this disk is too small.
What's more, there are two partitions between it and the underlying 931 GiB of free space on the disk.
Disk \\.\physicaldrive1: 7809794048 sectors, 3.6 TiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): CF86DA58-C7D3-4BE9-B5B7-796560D56528
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 7809794014 Partitions will be aligned on 8-sector boundaries Total free space is 1952448512 sectors (931.0 GiB)
> Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
> 1 34 5857083358 2.7 TiB 4200 LDM data partition
> 2 5857083359 5857085406 1024.0 KiB 4201 LDM metadata partition
> 3 5857085407 5857345502 127.0 MiB 0C01 Microsoft reserved part
Ultimately, the solution is likely to lie in the Windows tools -- there may be a way to resize that LDM partition (moving the other partitions in the process), or to add another LDM partition to the disk.
Do you know of a tool to resize the LDM partition?
Dynamic disks are based on a single partition LDM Data partition. It internally contains details for various volumes. Basically here partition 2 is the metadata partition which says how volumes are organized. Actual data resides in partition 1 that is LDM Data partition. In windows if there are 2 dynamic disks it will contain same LDM Metadata and they contain records for various volume entities and where they reside like on disk1, disk2 or, etc.

Edwin, thanks for the reply, what is the difference between extend and extend filesystem?
- Marked as answer by allan.lonz Wednesday, October 26, 2011 11:13 PM
First of all, did it solve your problem ?
Second; the "extend filesystem" is the replacement of an old Microsoft support tool called fsextend.exe. There are some cases where the partition itself is extended, but the filesystem allocations were not. The reasons for this are unknown to me. the "DISKPART> extend filesystem" will then extend the filesystem on the already extended partition.

Thanks but I had to convert back to basic disk, then i was able to expand.
So the case is solved, - some what - , I don't have dynamic disk anymore but i have the free space.

did the trick for me to. Thanks jquest21.
Win 2008 R2 SP1, tried to extend a F drive (dynamic) drive (not system, boot or anything just Healthy drive ;-)
right click on Disk Management and rescan disk did the trick. Thanks a lot.
I had the same issue. After upgrading all of the drives in the array, I used the RAID controller's OCE (Online Capacity Expansion) to expand the array. Disk Management in Windows Server 2012 saw the unallocated space, but would not extend the Dynamic volume giving the error "There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation."
After initiating "Rescan Disks" in Disk Manager, the Extend Volume function worked.
Thanks for the tip!

I know this is old but for anyone searching for this through Google. this can also happen if you have UAC enabled and you open Computer Management without opening it via Run As Administrator. Some programs will automatically prompt to elevate when opened, Computer Management is not one of those.
If you are using a pre configured laptop or desktop that is set up by the manufacturer, then this problem arises, as there are certain limits on windows 7 and 8. Also the drives they create are of different system, So if you have a problem partitioning such kind of systems then copy any data stored in back up or recovery partition. Then delete the partition from windows disk manager, once this is done shrink main primary partition and with the allocated space shown create a new disk. then the error no disk space will not show up. and partitions can be created.
I have two identical servers and both were displaying the error mentioned in the original post when I tried to extend the existing volume. Both servers had three LUNs (2TB, 2TB, and 1TB) joined together as Dynamic Disks in a single Spanned Volume. (Our old SANs limit LUN size to a maximum of 2TB.) Both servers then had 512GB added to the final, 1TB LUN. Per this thread, I used DISKPART's EXTEND FILESYSTEM on the first server and then I was able to extend the Spanned Volume from 5TB to 5.5TB. The last LUN in Disk Manager displayed nicely as 1.5TB.
On the second server, I did not use DISKPART, but instead just did a Rescan Disks in Disk Manager, also recommended in this thread. I was then able to extend the Spanned Volume from 5TB to 5.5TB there as well. However, the last LUN in Disk Manager displayed as the original 1TB and an additional partition of 512GB.
Based on this, I'd recommend the EXTEND FILESYSTEM approach, which looks cleaner. I don't know if there is a performance benefit to either approach.
I know this is an old post, but this helped saved an important VM for me.
Windows Update went into an infinite loop after downloading too many files and filling the VHD, after which it would reboot to install the updates, fail, then restart. After restarting, it would clean up, then reboot - of course after cleaning up, the subsequent reboot would attempt an install and configuration again. Hence, the infinite loop.
I was able to allocate more space for the VHD in Hyper-V, but I had to get into the VM in order to expand the volume. I knew the VM would be gone for me if I couldn't fix this, so I interrupted the machine's booting and Windows Update processing when I wasn't supposed to, but all I got was the automatic repair, which couldn't fix the Window Update issues, and I would get into the infinite loop again.
I used F8 during boot to get the advanced options, and the only option that could work was the safe mode with command prompt (all other still resulted in the infinite loop).
Diskpart commands didn't work for expanding the volume, even though the volume had available space immediately after it using the expansion from the Hyper-V tools. Using the command "extend filesystem" then "extend" fixed the issue. At the next reboot, the Windows Update tasks completed, and the VM is working again.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson, D-Ill., is casting an absentee ballot and has no plans to appear in public on election night, a consultant says.
Jackson, 47, has been on a medical leave from the Congress since June. But he is considered almost certain to win another term in his Chicago-area district, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Kevin Lampe, a political consultant in the Windy City, told the newspaper that Jackson has not scheduled anything for election night. Jackson, who spent several months at Sierra Tucson in Arizona and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., returned to Mayo Oct. 23 for what officials described as a followup evaluation.
He has been disagnosed as suffering from bipolar disease and from stomach trouble.

Sony's large AAA teams shifting from PS3 to PS4 development
Although Sony envisions the PlayStation 3 lasting at least "the next couple of years," the company has acknowledged that its larger development teams -- the ones responsible for the AAA blockbusters -- are shifting from its current-gen machine to the next-gen PlayStation 4.
"Our large teams are shifting, transitioning from PS3 to PS4, and continuing on Vita as well," Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida told Games Industry. Yoshida did acknowledge, though, that the PS3 will still receive support from the company's digital releases.
"Many games like Hohokum or Doki Doki Universe we have announced for PS3 and PS4 at the same time. We'll continue to support PS3 in a way that makes sense, especially the digital games that we work on - but our large teams, our AAA release teams, are transitioning from PS3 to PS4," he reiterated.
That's not to say the PlayStation 3 won't see any big releases. If Journey taught us anything, it's that digital-only games can sometimes have a larger impact than AAA blockbuster releases. That all being said, there's still plenty to be excited about with the PS3. Just next week, we'll see the exclusive PS3 release of Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls and in December we'll be treated to Polyphony Digital's racing sim Gran Turismo 6. So you can see there's still a lot to look forward to with the PlayStation 3.
As someone who has the PS4 already on pre-order, I'm particularly glad to hear this as I'm not too impressed with the current list of PS4 first-party blockbusters. The two most intriguing games for me are Infamous: Second Son and The Order: 1886, neither of which will be available at the launch of Sony's next-gen system.

GOLDEN GATE: The rockfish action slowed on Sunday, June 29 with a huge swell, perhaps pushing the fish off the bite. "It didn't matter who you were or where you were, the rockfishing was tough," said Captain Jim Smith of the Happy Hooker, adding, "The fish were off of the rocks from outside of the gate all the way to Duxbury with every reef or highspot showing very few meter marks." Most fishermen ended up with four to five rockfish in their sacks. Roger Thomas of the Salty Lady went rockfishing on Saturday, and he said, "One lady on her first rockfish trip landed a 10-pound ling cod on her first drop, and she was able to score three of the six legal lings on the boat." They ended up with three-fourths limits of rockfish at 84 for 12 anglers. Thomas added that only a single salmon was landed by one party boat that trolled all day on Sunday, and the only strip of brown water observed has been near the Farallon Islands where blue whales are working the krill.
HALF MOON BAY: Coastal rockfishing is the only game in town as the month of June rolled to its conclusion, and limits to near-limits of rockfish will a fair sprinkling of ling cod are the rule for party and private boaters. Salmon remain a distant memory with one party boat reporting one fish. With few salmon holding south look for boats to be targeting salmon off the Marin coast in July, August and September. The majority of the salmon are currently holding from Point Arena and north but these fish will be pushing into the Marin coastal/Middle Grounds by late July. The minimum size dropped to 20 inches on July 1 and this will help the counts. The rockfish action was slowed by a big groundswell on Sunday, but Captain Tom Mattusch on the Huli Cat was able to put his clients onto 13 limits of rockfish, a ling cod, and 55 Dungeness crab. Recreational fishing for Dungeness crab ended on June 30. On Saturday, Mattusch put in limits of rockfish and six ling cod, releasing six shaker ling cod, working from Martin's Beach, San Gregorio, Tunitas Creek, and Pomponio Beach. They pulled the pots for 34 legal crabs, releasing 239 female Dungeness.
SAN FRANCISCO BAY: The striper bite has been limited to the right tides when the bait is pushed up on the rocks. The tides were still large at — 0.3 on Monday, but they are on their way down. Keith Fraser of Loch Lomond Bait and Tackle said, "Optimism abounds with no minus tides until the middle of the month, and the next series of minus tides is not as large with the second set of minus tides being huge at minus 1.4 feet." Fishing has been fairly slow due to the larger tides but the action will improve daily this week.

- Chirp,
While driving along Marion Drain this morning, I passed a raptor perched above the north rim of the drain. Slowed a bit thinking it was a male Northern Harrier. It flushed, flying to my rear and my casual look didn't detect the anticipated white rump patch. Hey! Slammed on the brakes and jumped out as a mentor (I shall not mention names here) used to do...engine running, door open. Got my bins on him, then grabbed the scope from the pickup bed when it found another perch on the drain's rim. Great views of the adult bird's back and tail plus the wide, white supercilium as it looked over its shoulder. One of the best open door, engine running studies I've had. Fortunately there was zero traffic.
A bit confusing, were two white "spots" on the back of the dark head. The Wheeler "Raptors of North America" states that the white supercilium has a minimal of dark streaking and often extends as a mottled white area on the nape. I turned around and followed for two more short hops to perches along the north side of the drain. Last observed it while it was perched in some sparse trees along Marion Drain approximately one-half mile west of Old Goldendale Road. The bird followed the drain bank with each move as if it was the preferred hunting habitat. Wheeler states that they will hunt open spaces for ground squirrels, hares, rodents.

After Robert and Cortney Novogratz bought a rundown 1917 farmhouse in rural western Massachusetts seven years ago, they couldn't wait to knock down the walls between the dark, cramped first-floor rooms. "People just don't live with separate living and dining areas anymore," says Cortney. "We wanted our family to be together in one space and to give the house a light, loft-like feel." Once the walls were history, they splashed the areas, including the floors, with white paint. "The goal was to create a blank canvas for colorful art and furniture," Cortney says. "And kids are going to scuff up floors either way, so it's easy to add more paint."
The scheme was all in keeping with the philosophy behind Six Design, the couple's Manhattan-based firm, which specializes in buying and updating neglected properties. (The company was named in honor of their six children—they now have seven but no plans to rename the business.)
From the exterior, with its rain slicker-yellow shutters, to the five upstairs bedrooms, each painted a different punchy shade, the house takes a bow toward tradition but exudes an edgy playfulness. Robert and Cortney are fearless about furniture and art, assembling a hodgepodge from all over—flea markets and thrift shops as well as discount chains and the closeout section at high-end stores. "If you budget right you can mix high and low," Cortney says, "which gives you the freedom to splurge on one item as a focal point."
Guided by passion, not fashion, the two buy what they love regardless of condition or cachet. "Imperfections give furniture character," Cortney says. And a little chipped paint or a scratch often makes a piece more likely to be affordable. Plus, with seven children running around, Cortney and her husband want the look to have an element of fun. "Home should be a sanctuary," she says, "but it should also have a sense of humor."

Gartner Introduces: New Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud IaaS
I'm happy to announce that the new Gartner Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service has been published. (Client-only link. Sorry; I'll link a public reprint when one is available.) This is a brand-new Magic Quadrant; our previous Magic Quadrant has essentially been split into two MQs, this new Public Cloud IaaS MQ that focuses on self-service, and an updated and more focused iteration of the previous MQ, focused on managed services, called the Managed Hosting and Cloud IaaS MQ.
It's been a long and interesting and sometimes controversial journey. Threaded throughout this whole Magic Quadrant are the fundamental dichotomies of the market, like IT Operations vs. developer buyers, new applications vs. existing workloads, "virtualization plus" vs. the fundamental move towards programmatic infrastructure, and so forth. We've tried hard to focus on a pragmatic view of the immediate wants and needs of Gartner clients, which also reflect these dichotomies.
This is a Magic Quadrant unlike the ones we have historically done in our services research; it is focused upon capabilities and features, in a manner that is much more comparable to the way that we compare software companies, than it is to things like network services or managed hosting or data center outsourcing. This reflects that public cloud IaaS goes far beyond just self-service VMs, creating significant disparities in provider capabilities. Continue Reading…

This isn't a game question, but it is directx related, so think this is the best place to ask.
I'm just wondering, how difficult would it be to display an animation that was made by 3D studio Max.
When you make an animation in 3DSMAX, I believe you can save it as a .x file. How difficult would it be to display this animation in a window (not fullscreen) by using DirectX, and if possible, just put some text in front of it.
What I'm trying to make is something like the about box from winamp. But at first not as fancy. Just the menu on top and the animation below. No reaction to the music as winamp does and stuff like that.
I don't know anithing about 3D programming in directx. I know some DirectDraw and DirectShow.
But I don't need it finished tomorrow, I have time.

Samara, Russia - July 24, 2014 - Studio MONO are today would like to thank all the press for their support and of course their backers who really came through to help them exceed their initial funding goal for InSomnia, which has finished its Kickstarter at $92,268, which represents $20,000 over the funding target.
'Words cannot express how grateful we are to each and every backer, journalist, streamer and all of the websites all over the world, who helped us fund by sharing their love for InSomnia. A huge thank you from everyone at Studio MONO!' said Anatoliy Guyduk, Studio MONO's lead developer.
'We've now opened the webstore and accepting payments via PayPal to carry on helping InSomnia fund and to achieve further stretch goals. Thanks to all of the support, we're able to now go into full development of InSomnia; but the journey to the evacuation point hast just begun.'
The Game
InSomnia pitches the player in a dark and damp, deliciously retro-futuristic space station ("The Ark") on its 400-year journey in search of a new home. Several centuries earlier, war-torn Noman survivors boarded the Ark to flee their planet and escape the conflict between the Republic of Noma and the SORG Regime. Most of InSomnia takes place inside the gargantuan, half-deserted vessel—which is slowly making its way toward the elusive Evacuation Point. If the Ark fails to reach the Evacuation Point, billions of Nomans will have died in vain.
InSomnia aims to immerse the player in rich storylines that are updated regularly. The game will ship with 15-20 hours of main storyline plus 20-30 hours of side quests (first season/year). More than 20 free chapters are planned after release, with 3-6 hours of gameplay each.
About Studio MONO
Studio MONO was founded in Samara, Russia in 2011 by a group of artists, technologists, and enthusiasts united by their dream project - InSomnia. With a development team comprised of individuals from all over the world - including Malaysia, the U.S., Russia, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Ukraine - Studio MONO is a talented group of professionals who have been active in the world of game design for many years.

Acute exercise has been shown to attenuate postprandial plasma triglyceride elevation (PPTG); however the direct contribution of exercise intensity is less well understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise intensity on PPTG and postprandial fat oxidation. Healthy, young men (n=6) performed one of three experimental treatments: non-exercise control (CON), moderate-intensity (MIE; 50% VO2 peak for 60 min), or isoenergetic high-intensity exercise (HIE; alternating 2 min at 25% and 2 min at 90% VO2 peak). The morning after the exercise, a standardized meal was provided (16 kcal/kg BM; 1.02 g fat/kg, 1.36 g CHO/kg, 0.31 g PRO/kg) and measurements of plasma concentrations of triglyceride (TG), glucose, insulin and β-hydroxybutyrate were made in the fasted condition and hourly for 6 h postprandial. Indirect calorimetry was used to determine fat oxidation in the fasted condition and 2, 4 and 6 h postprandial. Compared to CON, both MIE and HIE significantly attenuated PPTG (Incremental AUC) [75.2 (15.5) %, p = 0.033 and 54.9 (13.5) %, p = 0.001], with HIE also significantly lower than MIE (p = 0.03). Postprandial fat oxidation was significantly higher in MIE [83.3 (10.6) % of total energy expenditure) and HIE (89.1 (9.8) % of total] compared to CON [69.0 (16.1) % of total; p = 0.039 and; p = 0.018, respectively], with HIE significantly greater than MIE (p = 0.012). We conclude that, despite similar energy expenditure, HIE was more effective than MIE for lowering PPTG and increasing postprandial fat oxidation.

Developed in World Superbike and released last year, Pirelli's Diablo Supercorsa is the round, tacky successor to their original Dragon Supercorsa Pro racing tire.
When you're carving through a 120 mph corner, knee glued to the blur of asphalt below, tires are the only thing keeping you from imminent disaster. That's why when you're blasting around the racetrack on that shiny new sportbike, you're going to need all the grip you can get in the form of some sticky race tires.
Being the lone tire supplier and having your own private proving grounds for not one, not two, but four independent roadracing series (MotoST in the U.S., Canada Superbike Championship, British Superbike Championship and World Superbike) gives you an advantage in tire development. That's why we chose to conduct the first part of our Supersport Shootout VI on Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tires.
Released last year, the Diablo Supercorsa (DSC) is the round, tacky successor to Pirelli's original Dragon Supercorsa Pro racing tire. You can thank our World Superbike heroes, who since 2004 have developed the current level of trickle-down tire technology, for giving consumers access to the same levels of performance as the racing elite.
Key improvements engineers focused on when creating the Diablo Supercorsa were cornering performance from entry thru exit, stability in holding a line, feel and durability. All, of course, without compromising Pirelli's signature attribute – ease of bike-to-tire setup.
To do this, engineers significantly modified the tire's shape. The shoulder areas on either side were curved, thereby making the tires external profile more triangular. This gives the tire a progressively larger contact patch as it is leaned over in a corner. When compared side-by-side to the previous generation, the DSC is significantly more triangulated which facilitates its superb maximum lean angle.
Higher lean angles afforded by the tire's new shape means that it's going to need an elevated level of grip. Pirelli solved this by using new chemicals and polymers with an increased level of thermal stability. This equates to quicker warm-up times and improved, longer lasting outright grip.
Although multi-compound race tires seem to be the latest rage, Pirelli choose to utilize one uniform compound throughout the tire's construction. Still, Pirelli's worldwide racing experience has allowed them to develop the widest range of individual tire compounds. A total of four options are available from both front and rear. The versatile range gives the Pirelli rider 16 unique tire combinations suitable for almost any track.
Stability has always been a strong point of Pirelli tires thanks to its zero-degree steel-belt design in which steel threads run parallel to the tire's rotation, helping to prevent tire growth. Engineers further improved stability by utilizing crossing carcass plies within the front tire. This not only enhances the tires overall footprint but also makes it less susceptible to moving around, especially under hard braking.
In a perfect racing world, tread sipes are an engineer's worst enemy. That's why engineers used as few tread sipes as possible while maintaining DOT legality for use on public roads. The end result is a cool-looking tread pattern that works in conjunction with the revised profile and rubber compounds reducing tread squirm and improving the tire's ability to hold a steady line.
Being that all the bikes were on tire warmers, we didn't get a chance to test the tires ability to warm-up from ambient temperature. However, after pulling the warmers off, we were able to start pushing the tires almost immediately.
We were also impressed with the feel of the tires, especially the front. With so much feedback available through the handlebars, it felt really comfortable trail-braking into corners. Although the front tire isn't the firmest feeling, it was ultra-stable and had fantastic grip allowing us to achieve some pretty crazy footpeg-dragging lean angles.
The rear tire didn't give us the same copious amount of feedback as the front, but it always stayed glued to the pavement below like gum on the bottom of your shoe.
Stability and easy-of-use was another strong point of the Pirelli design. The DSC tires increased the apex strafing prowess of the bikes in the test, all without making the chassis anymore nervous. This was especially noticeable on the Ducati 848 due to its lack of a steering damper.
"What I really like about the Pirelli's is that they're really neutral feeling and complement each bike really well," commented our Editorial Director Ken Hutchison. "The bikes are all super flickable yet they aren't at all twitchy."
Apart from an hour lunch break, each bike was flogged virtually nonstop from 9:00 a.m. until the checkered flag came out at 4:00 p.m. At the end of the day we observed that all the front tires held together well. Despite rubber ball accumulation on either side, the fronts appeared to be in good shape as traction levels were consistent and never fell off.
Similar to the front tire, some of the rears looked smooth and ready for more action while others showed unusual wear. This confirms the forgiving nature of the tire, as it actually can work as a band-aid masking less-than-optimum rear shock settings. We consider it to be a valuable feature – especially if you miss the mark on ideal suspension settings.
At the end of the day we were pleased with the added performance afforded by the Diablo Supercorsa tires. Not only did they work well on each bike, they did so with minimal suspension fiddling. They gave us the feedback, stability and grip needed to dissect the subtle nuances of each machine. The only downside we can find in the Diablo Supercorsas is the price. That's why Pirelli makes a more affordable option for the track riding enthusiast that doesn't necessarily have the cash to spend on the premium race tire (see below).

Pirelli Diablo Corsa III
The Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's are another versatile option in the Diablo tire family for the rider who doesn't necessarily need the outright performance of a racing tire. We used the Corsa III during our second day of testing and during last year's Supersport Shootout.
After riding the second part of our test on the Corsa III's we were amazed at the amount of performance available from the mid-priced tire. We purposely did not use tire warmers and were surprised at just how fast the tires heat up. Despite their slightly more mellow profile, the Corsa IIIs still retained the bike's flickability yet remain very neutral feeling. Although they don't have the same levels of outright grip, they are definitely close and for the less aggressive, smoother rider it can be difficult to notice much of a difference.
We would recommend the Diablo Corsa III to any riding enthusiast who intends on using their bike both on the street and the track and doesn't wish to swap out different sets of tires for each application.

The Liberal War on Transparency: The Left Turns a Signature Achievement on its Head
Transparency in government was a hallmark achievement of American progressives. Renowned liberal jurist Louis Brandeis wrote, "Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants." The man who appointed Brandeis to the Supreme Court, Woodrow Wilson, waxed poetically about the ideal. However, the bloom is plainly off that rose, despite liberals continued invoking of transparency as a campaign theme.
Now, public servants require heightened privacy as to the details of their work. But woe be to the private citizen or corporation who chooses to participate in the political debate.
Providing financial support to pro-free market public policy groups -- those whom the Wall Street Journals Kim Strassel calls Obamas Enemies List— apparently risks having ones personal affairs laid bare for scrutiny. This, liberals assure us, is not for purposes of intimidating those who participate and chilling others from making a similar error in judgment. It is about the public's right to know.
Does the public have a right to know that those who participate more meaningfully, say, by actually voting, are you who they say they are? This seems to be an entry-level transparency requirement for political participation. Alas no, requiring identification is an invasion of privacy of the highest order clearly meant to discourage voters from exercising a right so fundamental that we can't dare do anything to protect the integrity of its practice.
Meanwhile, a liberal administration leaks sensitive information, while conducting the most aggressive prosecution campaign against whistle-blowers in our nations history. And that's according to other liberals, shocked that Team Obama weren't quite who they said they were.
The Obama administration's standoffs with Congress have led to historic litigation, but its deliberate, organized efforts to deny access to records go much deeper. Today, the self-congratulation in 2009 (anticipatory a la Obama's Nobel Peace Prize that same year) as the most transparent administration ever has the odor of misdirection about it, hinting in retrospection at a clampdown on releasing actual public information to those who seek it.

Canadas baseball hotbed is still Langley, B.C.
At the corner of 214 A Street and 58th Ave., sits McLeod Athletic Park, home of the Langley Blaze.
Brett Lawrie and Scott Mathieson learned the game at McLeod under Scotts father, Doug Mathieson, coach of the B.C. Premier League team.
Second baseman Lawrie, 20, of the Milwaukee Brewers was selected Canadian minor-league offensive player of the year by our voters, while reliever Mathieson, 26, of the Philadelphia Phillies is the Canadian minor-league pitcher of the year.
Theyre the best of the 104 Canadians who appeared in the minors this season in our second annual awards.
In last years inaugural awards, outfielder Tyson Gillies, now in the Phillies organization and also from Langley, was selected the top offensive player while Brewers co-closer John Axford and Calgarys James Henderson, shared top-pitcher honours.
Lawrie was a No. 1 pick in 2008, receiving a $1.7-million US bonus after being scouted by Brewers scout Marty Lehn. Playing at double-A Huntsville, he led all Canadians in runs scored (90) and hits (158) while batting .285 with eight homers and 63 RBIs in his second full season as a pro. He edged Cambridges Scott Thorman, who shared the home run lead among Canadians with Shawn Bowman of Coquitlam, B.C. Thorman was at triple-A Omaha (Royals) and Bowman was at double-A New Hampshire (Jays).
The right-hander, a 17th-round draft pick in 2002, was 3-6 with a 2.80 ERA and 26 saves at triple-A Lehigh Valley. He walked 24 and struck out 83 in 641/3 innings in 54 appearances.
Mathieson made eight starts for the 2006 Phillies and has made two relief appearances this season. Hes currently on the disabled list with a strained back muscle.
He travelled to Philadelphia last weekend to be presented with the Paul Owens Award, as the organizations top minor-league pitcher and hopes to make the Phillies bullpen next season.
This season, the Phillies hired Hall of Fame closer Bruce Sutter to work with Mathieson on a splitter.
Finishing behind Mathieson in voting were Guelphs Scott Diamond, triple-A, Gwinnett (Braves), Georgetowns Shawn Hill, who progressed through the Jays system all the way to the Rogers Centre, and Kitcheners Ryan Braun at triple-A Charlotte (White Sox).
The top offensive player of the 53 Canucks playing independent ball and 11 Canadians in foreign lands was Medicine Hats Drew Miller of the Calgary Vipers and the Golden League. Miller beat out Ivan Naccarata of Longeuil, Que., and Ottawas Sebastien Boucher, both from the Can-Am League champion Quebec Capitales. Naccarata was a college teammate of Jose Bautista at Chipola College.
The top indy league pitcher was closer Andrew Albers of North Battleford, Sask., and the Quebec Capitales. He finished ahead of teammate Michel Simard from Charlesbourg, Que., and closer Aaron Cotter of Kitimat, B.C., and Sioux Falls of the American Association.
Sarnias Justin Randall has been invited to the free-agent camp that Rays scout Rob Ducey runs for independent league players. The Sarnia infielder hit .373 with 16 RBIs for Southern Illinois in the Frontier League.

Philanthropist Bunny Mellon Dies
Rachel "Bunny" Mellon, patron of the arts, socialite, and friend of Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, passed away on Monday at age 103. Mellon and her philanthropist husband, Paul, donated more than 1,000 works by historically renowned artists to the National Gallery of Art. They also funded the addition of the gallery's East Building in 1970. Mellon was also known for her keen eye for architecture and interior design: she redesigned the White House Rose Garden, designed her own 4,000-acre estate, Oak Springs, and Jackie O.'s home. Mellon is survived by a son, two stepchildren, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
