Disability Rights Oregon requests
input on priorities survey
Disability Rights Oregon (DRO) is the state's protection and advocacy system. DRO advocates for the civil rights of people with disabilities. Using outreach, education, information & referrals, indvidual case work, policy advocacy and litigation, it helps individuals who have a legal issue related to their disability.
Every issue facing individuals is important. However, due to limited resources, DRO cannot give equal attention to every issue. Each year, with input from Oregon's disability community, it sets goals and priorities to address the most urgent needs. DRO is asking now for opinions to help in in determining its goals and priorities through a survey.
Visit the link http://www.droregon.org/get-involved/2011-2012-dro-goals-priorities-survey to either complete the survey online or use a Word document to submit to DRO. The surveys are available in both English and Spanish versions. There is also contact information on the web page for those who may need assistance or an alternate format.
Harper's Playground broke ground
on June 8 in Arbor Lodge Park
A groundbreaking celebration for Harper's Playground was held on June 8 for the first playground in Portland Parks & Recreation's system to be specifically established for children with disabilities. The park is the vision of the parents of Harper Goldberg, who loves spending time at the North Portland park, but has limited mobility due to have a rare condition called Emanuel Syndrome.
Their personal mission became inclusion and they hope that their vision and efforts will lead to a more inclusive world. Together, they have dedicated close to 1,000 hours towards the playground in the 18 months since they began. Their efforts started small and grew once they developed partnerships with organizations like the Portland Timbers.
The groundbreaking was also eventful, for that Friday was Harper's seventh birthday. For more information about Harper's Playground and the efforts to create it, visit the website at http://harpersplayground.org/.
Volunteers called help with research
on Portland Streetcar bridgeplates
The Portland Bureau of Transportation and Portland Streetcar are performing some research on their vehicles and how they are serving the needs of the community that uses mobility devises. They are recruiting people of all ages who use crutches, walkers, wheel chairs (both manual and electric) and scooters for testing on June 26 and 27.
As a token of appreciation, volunteers who complete the evaluation of the bridgeplates will be provided with a $25 gift certificate at a local retailer. People interested should contact Shoshanah Oppenheim at 503-823-7677 or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Colored Pencils to feature
artists with disabilities on June 29
The Colored Pencils Art and Culture Council would like to integrate artists with disabilities into their family and is calling upon these artists and storytellers to participate at the June 29 art and culture night celebration. The Portland Commission on Disability, Disability Arts and Culture Project and Connecting Communities Coalition will be co-hosting the celebration with Colored Pencils.
The call at this celebration is for a spoken word artist (storytelling, poetry, singing, etc.) from the disabilities community to perform. Anyone interested in being part of the event or knows an interested person, please submit a brief biography, photo and YouTube, website or other collateral information to Lavaun Heaster at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A talent bank is also being developed for spoken word, cultural and visual artists with disabilities to be represented at future celebrations. Any artists who wish to join the talent pool may provide the same information as noted in the previous paragraph and forward it to Lavaun's email. To join in June or become part of the talent pool, you may also contact her by phoning 503-231-1052.
Colored Pencils Art & Culture Council is a sweaty, 6-week community-building process even more than it is a bi-monthly multicultural family room event celebrating Portland's culinary, performing, and fine artists. During this raucous 6-week process which produces a vigorous bi-monthly event, a construction crew of strangers representing a dozen ethnicities; 4 generations; all religious traditions, all love orientations, all physical and mental abilities, work then play, eat and dance together. More information about Colored Pencils is available at this website link.
PHAME sets Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka
production for June 23-24
The power of positive thinking will be in technicolor next month, as more than 40 of PHAME's inspiring student performers take the stage in Roald Dahl's "Willy Wonka." PHAME's major annual musical production will run June 23 through 24 at the Mt. Hood Community College mainstage theatre in Gresham.
Golden Circle tickets to PHAME's "Willy Wonka" production are on sale now. The complete "Willy Wonka" PHAME cast and artistic team was just announced, so click this link to find out what role your favorite PHAME performer has in the show and how to order tickets.
PHAME is also set to make its debut at the Waterfront Blues Festival. PHAME's student musicians will be featured on the Main and Back Porch stages, July 5 and 8, collaborating with their friends from United by Music, an international organization from the Netherlands. This will be an amazing opportunity to see PHAME students performing blues music with some of the region's top musicians.

Tutorial: Easy Stone Tiles for Genetica Beginners
Posted 16 September 2006 - 04:29 PM
This tutorial will manipulate an imported seamless stone photo to make floor tiles. If you plan to use your own material photo you should make it seamless in your photo editor of choice. There are several tutorials that can be found on the internet on how to do this. Here is one example: http://forums.cgsoci...ad.php?t=376830
If you prefer not to use a photo, you can also design your own texture in Genetica or if you are new to the program, choose from one of many preset stone materials to start. If youd like to use a preset, select one from the start menu and skip to Step #4
Here we go!
1) Select File > New
2) Right click the empty square to import a photo (i.e. stone material)
The properties can be found at the bottom of the interface. Click import image.
3) The photo in our example looks a little bland. We can change the Brightness, Contrast and Intensity by right clicking to insert a Change BCI node (optional)
Above we see how to insert a basic node that can be used to manipulate the texture. Play with the BCI node settings as desired in the properties panel at the bottom of the interface.
4) To transform our current texture into a floor tile pattern we insert Cut & Tile Lab node by right clicking the last node we inserted.
5) Open Cut & Tile Lab properties
The above image shows what your node tree should look like after inserting the Cut & Tile Lab node.
6) Highlight the Select Pattern section in the list by clicking. Now choose the Crisscross Pattern with the Select Type button.
7) Highlight the Mortar Width section and set the Mortar Width to a value of 5.
8) Move to the Bevel section by clicking and adjust the Bevel Properties as follows: Width 20; Depth 10; Curve 15.
9) Lastly, edit the Mortar Material section: Opacity 100; Depth 15; Speckle Density 80; Grit Density 70; Grit Depth 30. Choose colors that work well with your texture.
You are done editing your texture!
10) Render Texture
This is what the final result should look like:
Posted 16 September 2006 - 05:04 PM
I think that this will be the thread I link to from now on when we get questions about how to import an image.

Can I port this tutorial over to our website. Now that I've got my big move over with I can get back to having some fun. I wanted to start some tutorials but not in the middle of moving.

Great pic Rob. Lola is very cute! And she's like one of my old dogs who despite his size thought he was a lap dog
Posted 30 September 2006 - 02:56 PM
Webmist I just noticed your Sims 2 mod site in your signature. Made any nice mods with Genetica textures?

Posted 17 June 2009 - 11:47 AM
Oh haha, I made that quite a while ago! You're welcome. Glad it was useful for you. Maybe I'll get back into making tutorials again soon, but any of the complex stuff takes forever to write out as a written tutorial. Making a video would probably be quicker to explain stuff!
I agree, however, (for me) its more usefull to be able to read/print a document and use it offline as well.
i made a ok texturing tutorial a while ago (in dutch though) wich ill upload to scribd later on. its not genetica based though, but almost all of the stuff in it can be done with genetica (setting up a transparancy mask/alpha, getting a specular map and a bump map out of a image etc)
Available for work.

The Mighty is not a lesbian
There's a new interview with Barbara Walters. There's a double Barbara tonight – the Mighty and also the Most Fascinating People of the Year. While talking with Barbara, Opes addresses the lesbian rumours:
"I'm not a lesbian. I'm not even kind of a lesbian."
The Mighty Opesey goes on to say that it's annoying to have people think that because it suggests that she's dishonest:
"The reason why it irritates me is because it means that somebody must think I'm lying. That's number one. Number two ... why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life."
So ... why do you enable John Travolta?
No, no... we don't want to push people out the closet, of course not. But do we have to help them lie about it to support a public image in service of a movie career dependent on people like YOU buying movie tickets because you believe in the conventional family man? Just curious.
Anyway, back to the lesbian issue and Gayle – she started to cry when talking about Gayle. Something about being overwhelmed by what a good person Gayle is and that she's never told Gayle that before...
Really? She's a seasoned television professional and she talks about her BFF and then come the tears?
Maybe I'm just heartless. Where is my Christmas spirit?

Thanks for getting rid of the external link.
Please ignore the old-style language bar - it's only still there so that I can make sure things get moved into the new translation system. The new system makes maintenance so much easier! Above the old language bar you will see a link "Translate this page". That opens the dialogue where you will see individual messages for translation. After any future updates to the English page you can ask to see only the untranslate/changed messages, so it's much quicker and easier than trying to locate the change.
OK, thx for info.
We're still trying to think of the best way of warning people not to spend their valuable time in the old system. If you have any idea of what would have helped you, please tell us. Should we, for instance, put a warning box as part of that language-bar template?
I think a warning box would be a good idea and the better some kind of modal dialog just after start editing.

Ref: 5762
Drama (2002) 87 minutes ~ ColorMichael Abcarian is a young Armenian man living in Glendale, California with a growing sense of obligation to his father, Leon, who had sacrificed everything to get his family to America. Leon, in his late 50s, has just lost his wife and is forced to face his own survival issues--if he could only drive a car on an Los Angeles freeway, he might even be able to get a job, which would reduce his own guilt about being a burden to his son. With a tremendous desire to be responsible for himself and his family, Michael nonetheless must confront the conflicting moral codes represented by two epople who are close to him: Avo, the blow-hard who defends his honor with force; and Ana, Michael' s fiancee, who continually goads him into facing the fact that maturity doesn't always include getting one's own way. In Michael's struggle to fit in, he faces not only what it means to be on the outside, but also, what price it costs to gain entrance into respectability.Director: Vahe BabaianWriter: Vahe Babaian Stars: Mic Tomasi, Shaunt Benjamin and Sophie ChahinianFeature:

The Ramsey County Attorney's Office announced Oct. 10 that it is closing its latest review of the deputy who fatally shot a man in Vadnais Heights in 2017, again determining the shooting to be justified.
The Ramsey County Attorney's Office announced March 15 that no charges would be filed against the sheriff's deputy who shot and killed Darren Robert Jahnke in Vadnais Heights nearly a year ago.

Ramsey County needed municipal consent from three cities to get going on its planned $31.1 million replacement of the Rice Street bridge and interchange at Interstate 694, and now it has it.
courtesy of Ramsey County • With long-sought funding finally in place, Ramsey County is set to rebuild the Rice Street bridge and interchange at Interstate 694, with construction work starting as soon as the end of the year. However, three cities, Little Canada, Shoreview and Vadnais Heights converge on the site, and Vadnais Heights has yet to give its municipal consent for the project over concerns about its impact, putting the county's timeline into question.
Last summer, elected-officials celebrated after Gov. Mark Dayton signed a bonding bill that included $20.5 million for Ramsey County to rebuild the Rice Street bridge and interchange at Interstate 694.
