- Collection: Genesis
- Brand: United Weavers
- Material: 100% Olefin
- Weave: Machine Made

- Origin: Saudi Arabia
- Available in the following sizes: 1' 10" x 3'
I bought 2 (8x10), and 2 Palmetto runner rugs (natural/green) about 1.5 years ago, and was quite pleased with them. Then we moved, and I needed another one for my long living room. I was so happy that RugsUSA still had the same style and color in stock. The only negative that I have, is that the rug tends to get a little matted in high traffic areas. Perhaps a good steam clean would bring up the pile again.

I have seen that there are some awesome, great and very well done Q*Bert style cubes filters with different designs but I have seen that NONE of them have different colors or images inside the SAME cube and all the sides are the same hue or color with different shading or lighting.
I mean that you can put different colors based on an external image or make multicolor designs with a source image or photo but this are applied to ALL THE 3 SIDES of the cube in the same way, just chnaging the possible shadow or shading. So I would want to know if there could be a way to identify and select the 3 SIDES of the cubes and be able to apply 3 different colors or images, one to each side Here is one example to show what I mean |
Posted: July 16, 2012 2:08 am | ||||||
Also I have just a new idea that I suposse that perhaps could be possible to make and this is to be able to NOT to fill the whole screen with cubes and be able to cut them at some point and leave the rest white or background color. It could be interesting and useful for making frames, or for writing text inside the cubes design Here below is an example of what I mean |
Posted: July 16, 2012 2:11 am | ||||||
I also have seen that on others filters you can make that some parts of the image is made hidden or transparent, specially with tiled ones. Well I thought that maybe there could be a way to make missing cubes and have the choice to hide or make them not show in the middle of the design Here below is an example of what I mean |
Posted: July 16, 2012 2:15 am | ||||||
here Cuberism Simplified.ffxml |
Posted: July 16, 2012 2:19 am | ||||||
WOW !!! AWESOME how you have been able to make a very good 3 sides colored filter with missing cubes so well done.
Thanks very much for this Now I would suggest to have the option to have a color control setting for each of the 3 sides of each cube so you can control the coloring of each side. AND BE ABLE TO MASK THE CUBES DISPLAYING IN A DEFINED PLACES? CFandM made a awesome filter called Shape of Things Where you could load a black mask to define where you wanted the shapes to appear. Well my suggestion is to be able to load a mask to be able to arrange the cubes amount to show only through that mask So this way would be possible to make the suggestion of my second post above |
Posted: July 16, 2012 4:26 am | ||||||
If I do it for you how will you learn. | |||||
Posted: July 16, 2012 4:31 am | ||||||
YES, thanks, is true, if this is a easy thing to do, I can try to investigate, experiment and try to solve it myself. NEW UPDATED VERSION WITH COLOR CONTROLS FOR EACH SIDE OF THE CUBE Here I have been able to update this version with color controls for choosing the color you want to have in each of the sides of each cube. Cuberism Simplified Color Control.ffxml |
Posted: July 16, 2012 5:11 am | ||||||
Now I will find a way to be able to apply not only colors to each side but also IMAGES and photos to each side of the cube.
And also will see how CFandM have done the masking of the images in his filter and see if this can be copied or applied to the cubes here in some way |
Posted: July 16, 2012 5:22 am | ||||||
Well I have been already trying to make mask for the cubes but without any good sucess yet and I will have to make more experiments and search for a filter that could make a filling of a mask shape without cutting it.
I should have thought that by just using the get alpha and set alpha to apply the cubes would be a wrong idea as they will be totally cut out by the mask as this is like a Photoshop mask that cuts anything with the mask shape. |
Posted: July 16, 2012 7:41 pm | ||||||
And filling the mask with bomber cubes is also a bad idea as they are rotated and mixed and looses the cubes configuration, although they are not sharp cut as the above example
You are free to laugh at my silly experiment of beginner and novice FF |
Posted: July 16, 2012 7:44 pm | ||||||
Please, any hint or suggestion on how to do it ?
Thanks I have been searching for a way to fill a mask in the forum and in the filter library, but the problem is that this cubes design are NOT particles, and you can ´t break them or multiply as it happens with other filters that use alpha channels and masks. You can´t use the method of Shape of Things by CFandM or Gradient Shapes by Skybase or Stars Deluxe by Kochubey as all this is based on small particles shapes I have also tried to use a selection as it happens in Smoke clouds by Vikram K. Mulligan because a selection acts in the exactly same way as a simple alpha channel or mask, and this cuts all the cubes, AND the filling of this filters is very small noise particles so they can fit perfectly any shape without a sharp cut |
Posted: July 17, 2012 1:04 am | ||||||
I think I could have found a possible way by adding the alpha channel to the Cells component, although is still not the final solution as it still does not look right BUT much better than any of other samples above |
Posted: July 17, 2012 1:39 am | ||||||
And here is the result of adding the mask to the Cells component
I have tried to add also a mask to the below checker components or add a new blend BUT this cuts all the cubes as in the above samples How to fill the missing sides ? |
Posted: July 17, 2012 1:45 am | ||||||
Well by changing the blend mode to multiply in the above row I got this with less missing sides, although it is still a dirty result with a few added unwanted bits of cubes sides |
Posted: July 17, 2012 1:57 am | ||||||
here... Cuberism Simplified Mask.ffxml |
Posted: July 17, 2012 1:58 am | ||||||
WOW!! You have made it for me uberzev
Thanks very much!!!! I will try it and see how it works, surely and more professional than my own version I have just finally found a way to make a clean version of the cubes and with good results adding a scale component to the alpha channel and then after modifying some settings and deleting the blend mode and put it back to normal Here is the result I got |
Posted: July 17, 2012 2:44 am | ||||||
Here is my own version of the masking
Although I have not been able to make the fill slider work inside the mask and is turned off, I mean it has a zero value Cuberism Simplified Color Control Masking.ffxml |
Posted: July 17, 2012 2:48 am | ||||||
WOW!! I have tried your own version of the masking and it works perfect and wonderfully AND the fill slider works also inside the mask and works perfectly filling all the borders of the mask.
I have looked inside and is an interesting way that you have done it and how you have applied the masking, good to know and learn more. I will modify now your version with my color controls and also the scale of the mask Thanks really very much for your great help and for taking the time to make this for me. Here is your version of the same mask I have used in the above example and is perfect and well done |
Posted: July 17, 2012 3:01 am | ||||||
Well, here is your latest masking version with my own color controls for each side of the cube and the ability to resize and scale the mask to be able to adjust better the design if you wanted
NOW the next challenge , be able to change the colors with individual images, textures or photos in each side of the cube, and also more difficult is to make show full photos resized to fill a side of the cube. Thanks again Cuberism Simplified Mask Color Controls.ffxml |
Posted: July 17, 2012 3:29 am | ||||||
I have been changing the color controls to allow images and thought it would be very easy, but found a problem in the way uberzev has done the cubes, and is that I can´t change one of the solid fills of the checker components so it can allow the image pass through
As you can see in the example below, all the up sides of the cubes are plain colored |
Posted: July 17, 2012 11:15 pm | ||||||
I mean that when changing the solid fill setting in checker components to allow images, it destroys the cube if you change it on the one that belongs to the upper side as seen here below |
Posted: July 17, 2012 11:23 pm | ||||||
Although the upper part is plain colored, it follows very well the photo, because if you use the "size pixels" setting and reduce it to a very minimum, you get thousands of cubes making this curious image to blend 3 photos that looks good and would not be possible if the upper side was also changed and not plain.
The Lionfish is the one that is on the upper sides that is not shown as a photo on the cubes as it happens with the Kingfisher and Tree scene |
Posted: July 17, 2012 11:41 pm | ||||||
Even when I can´t change yet the upper side, I can get nice textured cubes |
Posted: July 18, 2012 12:10 am | ||||||
and one more |
Posted: July 18, 2012 12:17 am | ||||||
and also texturing only one of the sides of the cube you can get this nice stairs |
Posted: July 18, 2012 12:36 am | ||||||
Here is the textured version for the adding images to the left and right sides of the cubes (as said above I can´t now the upper side) so if any of you want to use it Cuberism Simplified Mask Color Controls Images.ffxml |
Posted: July 18, 2012 12:43 am | ||||||
I think that probably this will not be possible as FF does not have a way to covert image in 3D space, so I think that there is no possible way to make in FF what is shown in this example below here, and must be done in Photoshop as I have done. And to replace and change the photos easily you can use smart objects over the sides of the cubes |
Posted: July 18, 2012 2:15 am | ||||||
Actually SR, that's a pretty easy effect to do in FF.
But I want you to figure out how to do it... |
Posted: July 18, 2012 2:28 am | ||||||
Good to see you tinkering with the filter editor with new kinds of components that are unfamiliar. That's the best way to learn!
I like your examples above, and I think I like most this one with 3 images: You said you can't use the top side as an actual image as it has to be solid color, but if you ask me, you should have all sides solid color, as it looks very much like a crazy mozaic (well, three integrated mozaics), especialy in this small scale |
Posted: July 18, 2012 3:06 am | ||||||
hehehe its pretty fun once you get it. | |||||
Posted: July 18, 2012 3:09 am | ||||||
Ok I lied, it wasn't easy...
Has a few bugs and needs more user controls but the bones are there... Cuberism Mapped.ffxml |
Posted: July 18, 2012 4:02 am | ||||||
I can´t believe what you have done !! This is really very good and looks excellent. You did not know it BUT my next challenge I thought was having a BORDER control around the cubes and have it like chrome metalic, and in this you have already done the border yourself and is already included Very well done and like it much, although in this one you do not have anymore the FILL control so you can have as many or few cubes, and the masking, but as you said well this is the bones of it and then after can be upgraded. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR MAKING THIS BEAUTY OF FILTER
OK, the filter is complex and more that I could have ever imagined, BUT you have ONLY taken 1 Hour and a half to make it , it seems that you are a master of FF and have really great skills and experience to be able to solve this kind of things and do it very fast and easy for you. Thanks again and I admire the things you can do |
Posted: July 18, 2012 4:20 am | ||||||
Well, yes, I try to make and modify things, and see what happens trying components and settings but the main problem is I do not know really to solve problems or think what is needed to create something, but will keep learning.
Yes, is true and is addictive too but for you is MUCH MORE fun and interesting as you know really much and well how to use FF in a very good way. |
Posted: July 18, 2012 4:28 am | ||||||
hah thanks...
I also seem to have discovered a new type of weave by accident... |
Posted: July 18, 2012 4:33 am | ||||||
Posted: July 18, 2012 4:43 am | ||||||
Thanks to YOU !!
And now I have discovered that you have also added a way to rotate or flip the images inside the cube so you can decide how you can show the image, like it, so I will add some controls to be able to use this good idea from outside Also I am looking how you have done the things so I can modify it to also have missing cubes and a mask as it was in the previews versions of the filter. GOLD OR CHROME CUBE BORDERS Now that you have added the nice and good borders of the cubes, I will see if I can add also the great and beautiful gold or chrome cube borders in the same way as Inujima´s awesome cubes
Cool and nice one, like it, you see that after making some things sometimes you get some FF rewards by accident |

Is true that in the previews filter I could not use the top side of the cubes and was solid color AND it is true in the image shown here, as this is VERY small scale, is really very difficult to see, but this example of 3 integrated cubes mosaic have 2 sides with the photographic sides activated and the top on solid color, BUT when resizing the "size pixels" setting to a very minimum like this, all 3 look the same in the distance and only on very close up you would see the difference. |
Posted: July 18, 2012 7:15 pm | ||||||
I have updated the latest filter of Cuberism Mapped as I have found some problems when trying some large photos as they were shown too small, so I have added a zoom rescaling to each of the photos of the 3 sides, and also the ability to then after move the photo to be able to fit it inside the side of the cube in the best way
Also I have added 3 controls for chossing and customizing the colors of the Colourness, and also the option to make a texture overlay over the source photo in the left and right sides of the cube. And have changed some names to be more meaningful and useful Also now there is 11 presets. The preset 11 is the one using the Colorness as texturing, replace the left and right with your own textures MASKING AND MISSING CUBES I have included inside the filter the other 3 versions shown before of the previous versions of the filter, BUT until now I have not been able to make this filter work with masking or missing cubes as it happens in the previous versions, sorry. In all the ways when trying masking the cubes gets modified or broken the tiles or images, or the cubes get cut because of the alpha, or other weird results Although in the masking I got some bad results, but could make something, but in the missing tiles although have tried many ways and combinations did not get any possible result. I have tried at least 5 ways for each of masking and missing cubes, with different combinations and settings and I do not know why it does not work, and have changed some components but neither the masking or missing cubes works as this is done in a different way than previous The problem is that now is larger and have more related components and there are more possible combinations and possible ways to do it. Cuberism Mapped updated.ffxml |
Posted: July 19, 2012 11:51 am | ||||||
I have been a search in the forum and library to see if I could see how can this be done, but have not found it yet.
Could you you give some hint and suggestion, to where the alpha channel for the masking should be put? And if it would on one place or more than one, as the cubes are built with many components here in this version? And why the threshold does not work for making in any way for having the filling effect of prvious cuberism filters, I see that probably is because is done in a different way. Also have discovered your snippet for making this cube tilings --> Perfect Rhombic/Hexagonal Tiling by uberzev Thanks very much for your help |
Posted: July 19, 2012 5:53 pm | ||||||
Here is one example I have made using the Morgantao´s Busted Tiles Double Image for the base source images
Then after I loaded them into the cubes |
Posted: July 20, 2012 1:27 am | ||||||
And larger less closer |
Posted: July 20, 2012 1:32 am | ||||||
I have searched how the missing tiles or objects is made in others filters to know if there could be a different way to make the missing cubes in the new mapped version, and I have seen that there different ways, but have tried to make it and it does not work, as I really do not know the basic secret behind the missing tiles effect.

Songbird Project Drops Linux Support
Songbird considers itself an iTunes alternative and while the project has had some success in that regard, not so much under Linux.
The team behind the Songbird music management program has decided to drop Linux support. The reason for the rather abrupt turnaround for the open source project is that Songbird has primarily satisfied Windows users, which has pushed Linux version development onto the back burner. The new version also provides video support, again with mostly a Windows focus. According to the Songbird team's announcement, 78% are active Windows users, with Linux and Mac OS users only at about 10% each.
The project now wants to concentrate more on Windows and Mac OS development. Thanks to an agreement with Philips, the software will be preinstalled on GoGear MP3 players. Fortunately, Linux support has not been written off entirely. Nightly Linux builds will continue to occur along with releases for packaging. Although Songbird claims to "remain loyal to Linux and the ideology it represents," this move seems to be counter to uniform functionality.
Songbird Project drops Linux support
If Songbird was any good under Linux, guaranteed they'd get more than 10% user base support. Personally, I didn't think it was much chop.

Conner's Spring Gobbler by Shawn Meyer
$12.00About the author:
Shawn Meyer lives with his wife and children near his boyhood home in northeast Indiana Some of his fondest childhood memories were created while hunting and fishing with his dad. In the past few years, he has been making hunting memories with his own children.
"When I was growing up in 50's and 60's, I was fortunate to have my father and uncles tell me stories about their hunting exploits. Now with Conner's Spring Gobbler, everyone had the opportunity to share hunting and teach positive lessons for life with the hunters of tomorrow. I hope that every young person will have the opportunity to listen to his or her mom or dad read the story of Conner and learn about the wonderful world of hunting." -Will Primos, Founder of Primos Hunting Calls
"The future of hunting and conservation depends on recruiting new hunters. We must start 'em young in order to instill the passion of the hunt. Conner's Spring Gobbler captures the magic of a youngster's first turkey and illustrates the special bond between father and son as they enjoy our rich hunting traditions." - Rob Keck, CEO of National Wild Turkey Federation

This article is part of a series on the politics and government of Russia |
The Federal Assembly (Russian: Федеральное Собрание, transliteration: Federalnoye Sobraniye or Federalnoje Sobranije) is the legislature of the Russian Federation, according to the Constitution of Russian Federation, 1993. It was preceded by the Congress of People's Deputies of Russian Federation and its Supreme Soviet.
It consists of the State Duma, which is the lower house, and the Federation Council, which is the upper house. Both houses are located in Moscow.
The first post-Soviet Duma in 1993 is the Fifth Duma, following the first four of 1906–17.
The first step of the passing of a bill is the "right of legislative initiative".[1] This right is held by the President of the Russian Federation, the Federation Council, and the individual members of the Federation Council, a group of no less than one-fifth of the State Duma deputies, the Government and the legislative bodies of the subjects of the Russian Federation. Nonetheless, the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court of Arbitration of the Russian Federation may initiate passing bills within their respective jurisdictions.
The second step requires that a draft law will be introduced in the State Duma. The exceptions are bills that introduce taxes, abolish taxes, except tax paying, concerning state loans, change financial obligations of the state, provide for expenditure covered from the federal budget. The exceptions require the draft law to be accompanied with a resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation when introduced in the state Duma.
The third step concerns the passing of draft law by the Federal Assembly. The State Duma may only pass federal laws.[2] They are passed, unless the Constitution requires otherwise, by the a majority of votes of all deputies of the State Duma.[3] A State Duma passed bill must be handed to the Federal Council within five days for review.[4] The bill passes if either more than half of the deputies of the Federation Council vote for the bill, or the Federation Council does not consider the bill within fourteen days.[5] Upon rejection of a bill by the Federation Council, the chambers may set up a conciliatory commission to settle the differences.[5] If amended, a bill must be passed to the State Duma for consideration.[5] However, the State Duma can override the decision of the Federation Council if, in the second voting, at least two-thirds of the total number of deputies to the State Duma vote for it.[6]
The fourth step concerns presidential approval and publication. The Federation Council must send a passed bill within five days to the President of the Russian Federation for signing and publication.[7] The President signs and publish the bill within fourteen days.[8] Thus, a bill becomes federal law. The President may reject a bill within the fourteen days. The bill will then be passed through the State Duma and the Federation Council. However, if the bill is passed, during its second hearing, by a majority of no less than two-thirds of the total numbers of deputies of the Federation Council and the State Duma,[9] the bill must be signed and published by the President of the Russia within seven days. Hence, the Federal Assembly may override a presidential veto.
Foreign policy[edit]
The Constitution of Russia which was adopted in 1993 limits the parliament's foreign policy powers. The State Duma retained broad responsibility for adopting laws on foreign policy, but the constitution stipulated no specific foreign policy duties for the legislative branch. The constitution gave the Federation Council, the upper house of parliament, the responsibility for deciding on the use of troops abroad and reviewing State Duma ratification and denunciation of international treaties and Duma decisions on war and peace.
The State Duma and the Federation Council usually meet separately. Joint sessions are organized when the President of Russia delivers his annual address to the Federal Assembly and in some other very rare occasions.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Lots of plum and berry character, with hints of toasted oak and chocolate. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a long flavorful finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Paumanok 2007 Assemblage – Merlot with 22% Petit Verdot and 9% Cabernet Franc (although in most vintages, this cuvee contains Cabernet Sauvignon) – smells and tastes of ripe blueberry and blackberry tinged with pungent herbs and white pepper. Lean in texture but infectiously juicy and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Deep purple colored, it displays an expressive perfume of cedar, Asian spices, black cherry, and cassis. Supple and round on the palate, this savory offering has excellent volume, plenty of concentration, and enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Precocious, seductive red and black fruits intermixed with some subtle smoke and wood spice are followed by a velvety-textured, opulent, voluptuous wine that is surprisingly well-formed already...."

Two of the blasts in Karachi targeted the Awami National Party office, killing 11 and wounding 36, said Naeem Shah, a spokesman for Karachi police.
A third explosion was in the Karachi suburb of Landhi. It killed three people and wounded nine, according to the deputy commissioner of Malir district, Qazi Jan Mohammed. Voting continued afterward, he said.
A fourth explosion, which wounded four people, was in the Peerabad area of Karachi, Shah said.
Fakhruddin Ebrahim, the chief election commissioner for Pakistan, said he contacted the military over security concerns in Karachi and the harassment of polling station staff in the city. He said polling material was stolen in several areas.
Eleven people were killed in two separate bombings in Pakistan's volatile Balochistan province, district police officer Allauddin Kasi said. One of the attacks was on a vehicle carrying voters who had cast their ballots, he said.
Another targeted independent candidate Khadim Shah, the prime minister's office said in a statement condemning the bombing.
Elsewhere in Balochistan, at least four people were killed and eight injured in a clash between two groups at a polling station, police official Sardar Muhammad said.
In another incident, 12 Awami National Party supporters were hurt by hand grenade thrown at a party electoral office in Quetta, said Syed Mobeen Ahmed, a deputy inspector general of police.
Brig. Muhammad Abdur Raheem, the military spokesman for Balochistan, said polling still went well in the province apart from interruptions caused by a few incidents. There was a good turnout, including by women voters, he said.
In the northwestern city of Peshawar, 12 people, children among them, were wounded when a bomb exploded at a polling station in a school, said Habibullah Arif, a local deputy commissioner.
Record numbers
Of the 86 million voters registered to cast ballots, there were 36 million new voters, according to the Election Commission of Pakistan.
More than twice as many candidates are women than was the case five years ago, with 161 running compared with the 64 who contested the 2008 poll, according to the United Nations
As the nation makes the transition after years of mostly military rulers, the economic, political and security situation remains unstable.
As well as high inflation and poverty rates, Pakistan has seen outbreaks of violence, in some cases by Islamic extremists.
Since April, the Taliban in Pakistan have killed dozens in attacks on the three main political parties. Many urban voters and parties regard resurgent fundamentalism as one of country's biggest threats.
More than 600,000 security personnel were deployed nationwide leading up to the election, Information Minister Arif Nizami said Friday.
Pakistan's army, which helped deliver 650 tons of ballots to polling stations, deployed 91,000 troops around the country, a military spokesman said.
Fractured nation
The ruling Pakistan People's Party is led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the son of assassinated former prime minister and party leader Benazir Bhutto.
While his party became the first civilian government to complete a full five-year term -- the three governments after the death in 1988 of military strongman Zia ul-Haq were all brought down by the army -- its legacy is a deeply fractured country with a faltering economy.
The party's main opposition came from Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-N. One of the country's leading industrialists and richest men, Sharif has been prime minister twice before and was overthrown in a coup when Gen. Pervez Musharraf seized power in 1999.
Viewed as a religious conservative, his party -- Pakistan's second largest -- believes it would have won elections in 2008 had the assassination of Bhutto not given a massive boost to the ruling party.
Another contender was Imran Khan, the former cricket star and heartthrob who leads the Tehreek-e-Insaf (Movement for Justice) party.
Not in contention is Musharraf, who returned in March from four years of self-imposed exile to take part in the elections. A court banned him from taking part in politics and his party, the All Pakistan Muslim League, announced a boycott.

this is my second pair of Scree pants- they block the wind, repel water- unless it's a deluge- muddy paw prints just brush off. They changed the pocket fabric to a nice fuzzy feel. I can easily wear my thermals under these pants- really, quite a good product

Practice Test, Drivers Ed Practice Test,
If you are applying for your first Arkansas driving permit or a license, you must take a mandatory knowledge exam that will test your acquaintance with the state driving rules and regulations and Arkansas driver's ed practice tests can help you with preparing for this exam. Although most of the practice drivers education tests for Arkansas are not identical to the real DMV exam, they are based on the same information and should help you understand whether you are ready for the real thing. The key to getting the most out of the Arkansas drivers ed practice tests is using them in conjunction with other study materials, such as the DMV drivers handbook and drivers education classes.

Problems with -Z option (*solved*)
If I'm compiling without the -Z flag (which provides the extra Speccy stuff like ATTR) then it keeps complaining about "illegal preprocessor characters" in REM statements and doesn't compile. Specifically it seems to be punctuation which is throwing it out - ?, !, etc.
If I do use -Z (or strip those characters out of the REM statements) then it seems to be a coin-toss as to whether I get a workable program or not. Many of my files are compiling to very small TZXs which load and run but do nothing at all (in those cases the compilation seems suspiciously fast).
As a test, I make a simple program like this:
If I compile with:
zxb.py test.bas -T -B -a
... then I get a working TZX.
But if I compile with:
zxb.py test.bas -T -B -a -Z
... I get a TZX that loads but does nothing.
If I make the file:
... then without -Z compilation fails, with -Z compilation succeeds but the program does nothing.
Is anyone else having similar issues? I'm using the Python-based version of 2077 (from the zip) with Python 2.7.1.
