We now know why Willa Powell made such a big deal out of having her kids skip the test. She had an inkling that the results would be a disaster Maybe it's time that Willa Powell "opted out" of the Board of Education. Clearly, she doesn't have any answers for the community.
A simple, straight-forward endorsement of Warren by City Newspaper would be more professional and honest than this less-than-subtle attempt to slime Richards by portraying the RTA endorsement as nothing more than a desperate attempt at "self-preservation". Similarly, such "innocent" questions as, "If people believe that Warren's pro-charter stand jeopardizes their livelihood, could that swing them to Richards?" is slanted "journalism" of the lowest kind.
These lakes provide drinking water for several hundred thousand people... WHY ON EARTH would any one even PROPOSE drilling or hydrofracking around such an area? I hope this is stopped in its tracks.
"Warren has made a point of saying that the system is broken and that it has resisted reform. She is a strong supporter of charter schools. "
I hope she read the article about how charters have higher suspension rates. If she allows RCSD schools to behave similarly, then maybe we can have a discussion of equivalency. Until then, maybe she should support those of us who are trying to work within the system to help those less fortunate and less supported become better scholars and citizens.
The system is only as broken as those who use it (by which I of course mean students and parents). It's not like the teachers in RCSD are any less educated or dedicated; quite the opposite. The difference is the students, parents and community we work in. If she - or any politician or citizen - wish to advocate reform, how about advocating reforms where they will do the most good.
It would seem to me that this is such a simple thing. Those currently developing the area's management plan know how the people feel. It would be so simple to just write very specific and very clear language in the plan to rule out all possibilities of drilling on or under the 7000 acres.
I have to wonder what strings are being pulled that could keep the language out of the plan. This is supposed to be about the environment...not hidden corporate interests.
The city had its opportunity to remain the owner of this land and remain in control of it. That time has passed.
I applaud every effort to keep these lakes free from development and especially gas and oil drilling.
Eff these people. I don't care what your stance is on abortion or whatever. There's NO excuse for making my 3 year old see a giant picture with a dead baby on it. They should all be ashamed of themselves. By all means, protest and stand up for your beliefs, but be civil about it and stop tying to traumatize people not involved in your little war.
Hey there, Jeremy. You wrote, "In Monroe County, the active stations are concentrated in the east-side communities and the City of Rochester."
Used to be the west side had one of the most robust community access channels operated and programmed entirely by a team of volunteers: talk shows, news, school and sports events, even live election night coverage. Now, the west-side station (Greece, Gates, Chili) lays virtually dormant after the town governments and school districts colluded to "take over" the stations a few years ago, with promises of giving high school students the opportunity to run the station and create programming, Quite a loss to west-side residents and a waste of what used to be a "public access" channel.
We are losing a gem! Tim's advocacy, by simply being himself, is profound. His work with educators and students is tireless. Tim hit the nail on the head with so many of his insights about the RCSD but I was especially appreciative of his frank commets to business leaders who complain about the broken system. "If the district is that bad, and you know all of these schools around it are so much better, why not just disband the school district? Then all the kids who live in the city would have to be absorbed by the surrounding suburbs." Why not indeed?
Love you Tim. Best wishes in your new role. Hugs !
Please support these guys: http://greenlightnets.com/ There is already fiber in the Rochester area, but they're small, and moving slowly. It would be gratifying to see Time Warner at least take a hit, since the chance of them collapsing is slim.
It's not Time Warner that's blocking FIOS. That one is a legacy of an old deal between Frontier and Verizon.
Time Warner can do whatever they want because they got this City by the short hairs! How about writing an article about their monopoly and how they block Verizon FIOS from coming in? Or how they are going to have to change their business model to allowing the subscriber to choose what channels to pay for, in order to compete against the internet. DOWN WITH TIME WARNER!!!
I had the pleasure and honor of working with City Councilman Tim Mains, and later with Principal Mains (at School 50). While we probably didn't agree on every issue, I found him to be one of the most honorable and hard-working public servants in our community. Jamestown's gain is most certainly our loss.
Tim scrutinized every budget line - a tradition now followed by Carolee Conklin. He listened to speakers, engaged with the community, and supported public policy decisions that benefited city residents. And he did all of his work with compassion, understanding and a dry sense of humor.
I wish him well, but he will be missed.
With the single stream recycling, how much of the material, especially paper, will be contaminated? People don't always properly clean containers now but mixing dirty containers with the paper will just cause more problems.
My only hope with new bicycle boulevards are that they are clearly marked AND clearly lit at night. Some of the inhospitable streets are in some neighborhoods where after-dark/before-dawn riding can have more than one danger, or at least the appearance of it. Fernwood may be a nice street, but some of the other streets that run parallel to Clifford are less so.
Another option might be to re-design sidewalks so that they are easier to ride (make them wider, pave the bike parts to do away with the seams).
The article fails to mention the gross conflict of interest we now have with Waste Management now managing both recycling and waste disposal (until this year, WM did not manage county recycling). What's the incentive to promote recycling if you make money either way?
First we get: "county officials ... [have] applied to the Department of Environmental Conservation for permission to add .. ", and then: "County officials say they expect the approval process to take about three years". Is it an application or an approval process? Sounds like it's just a matter of going through the motions. How nice for the landfill proponents.
"Mill Seat currently captures about 70 percent of the landfill gas and burns it in generators to produce electricity, which cuts down on the landfill's methane emissions" -- burning the methane emits CO2, thereby contributing to climate change. It is better to burn it for energy than not, but far better to not be creating the methane in the first place. There are far better destinations for our organic waste than a landfill. Sadly, the county sees it as a "win" since the big picture as usual eludes them.
While I applaud Monroe County's efforts at recycling, I do not believe that a landfill, any landfill, is an "environmentally sound" way to dispose of waste. The Zero Waste committee of the Rochester Sierra Club has hosted a park cleanup in the county's yearly 'PickUpTheParks' program for four years. Our group and many other groups and residents cheered the long-awaited decision by Monroe County to recycle #3-#7 plastics.
Monroe County's eco-park, a residential drop-off point for recyclables and hazardous waste, is an incredible service that all residents should use. Everyone can dispose of paints and old gasoline and other environmentally hazardous stuff. However, according to an eco-park representative, only 1% of the public is availing themselves of this critical service. That is unacceptable, and one has to wonder where the other 99% are dumping their hazardous waste.
Landfills as a waste option are becoming suspect. Yes, they've come a long way from the toxic garbage dumps of the past. And of course Monroe County does need to provide the public with a waste removal system. They do not have the luxury of eliminating landfilling as a waste option at present, so landfills may well be a necessary evil at this point.
But landfills are never 'environmentally sound' and we should be moving away from them as quickly as possible. When we try to solve our energy and waste problems by capturing and then burning the methane gases that naturally accompany landfills, the public gets the false impression that this solves either problem. What it does is perpetuate landfills as a basic component of waste management thus sweeping our waste, energy, and resource problems under the rug.
It is a better idea to get rid of the idea of landfills and instead find ways to recycle those things we toss into them. Recycling our waste—organic, furniture, plastics, aluminum, etc.—would provide a wealth of resources for businesses, instead of having to further deplete our natural resources.
"Landfills are the largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions in the U.S., and the impact of landfill emissions in the short term is grossly underestimated — methane is 72 times more potent than CO2 over a 20-year time frame." (Page 7, Stop Trashing the Climate)
Also, this is interesting "…according to an audit, 69 percent of county households participate in recycling, while 53 percent of Rochester residents participate." It's interesting because in Buffalo, where the press follows recycling rates very closely, they have a recycling rate of only 13.6 percent. The national average is 34 percent. Hard to believe we are wildly above the national average.
Anyway, I am in total agreement with Mr. Garland's statement about updating plans on landfills, which includes "…develop public education programs about proper disposal, recycling, or reuse of different wastes." Not only should there be widespread education about proper waste disposal, I believe our local media should step up to the plate and provide this educational component free of charge, as it is in the public interest.

Richele Callender '04CPS is the Executive Team Leader of Assets Protection for Target Corporation in New York City and feels that her education at St. John's prepared her for her entry into the criminal justice field, "Thanks to my experiences at St. John's, I was able to begin my career shortly after I obtained both my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Master of Professional Studies in Criminal Justice Leadership at St. John's University."
In 2004, Richele was the winner of the University Certificate of Excellence Award and had the honor of serving as Diploma Representative for the College of Professional Studies in May of that year: "I was a member of Alpha Phi Sigma National Criminal Justice Honor Society, Caribbean Students Association and the Big Brother/Big Sister's Mentor Program. I was also one of the first students to graduate with a 4.0 from the Criminal Justice Leadership Program."
Enrolling in this program afforded her the opportunity to acquire leadership skills from one of the most highly regarded graduate criminal justice programs in the country, "I found my experiences in the program to be both challenging as well as rewarding." Upon completion of her master's in May of 2004, Richele attended a career fair sponsored by the University's Career Center, and it was at that fair that she was introduced to Target and the assets protection industry.
After being recruited by the Target College Campus Recruiting Team, she started with the company in June of 2005: "I chose a career at Target Corporation because I was intrigued by the idea of working for such a well-recognized and respected organization. I also believed that my experiences there would provide me with the opportunity to showcase my leadership skills. Slowly but surely, I was able to turn my classroom experience into real-life experience."
As an Executive of Assets Protection, Richele has been presented with the opportunity to not only oversee a large team of store detectives and door guards, but also mentor, as well as teach and coach future Team Members and Executives. She credits much of her success to the preparation she received at St. John's, "St. John's University has played an important role in my growth as not only an individual, but as well as a leader!"

It's a difficult time to navigate the employment market

Critical Essays
Critical Evaluation
Sir Thomas Malory's prose achieves the impression of simplicity, while comprising words beautifully arranged. His narrative has the quality of realism, even in his most fanciful scenes. He is also a master of naturalistic dialogue. For these reasons, he serves as the model for later writers of English prose, his work behind only, perhaps, the King James version of the Bible.
Malory presents himself as a translator of the French Arthurian romances. A chief source for his own writing might have been the twelfth century romances of Chrétien de Troyes, who introduced the separate legend of the Holy Grail into the Arthurian tales. The French romancers also contributed the concept of courtly love. In short, the Arthurian legend had been growing and evolving for centuries before Malory sat down to write Le Morte d'Arthur.
The historical Arthur, if he had existed, is said to have been a Celtic chieftain named Artorius who resisted the Anglo-Saxon invasion in the early sixth century. One contemporary historian describes a great British victory at the Battle of Mons Badonicus (Mount Badon) around 500, but he makes no mention of Artorius. In the ninth century, Nennius places the battle somewhat later (516) and states that a person named Arthur had commanded against the invaders. By the next century, Arthur's legend had grown considerably. In the twelfth century, Welshman Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote Historia regum Britanniae (c....

Who are you and what makes you think you will be missed?
seeing i said i was going to delete my account and alot of people said not too. so sir, go fuck yourself
He is Safepooter and he will be missed.
He said he was going to delete his account and a lot of people did not like that idea.
Who are you and what makes you think you can ask if people will be missed?
you obviously dont read the comments a lot.
I do and it's obviously that he does not make an impression. And you my friend have posted A LOT MORE than me and poot combined and yet I do not recognize you at all.
... im a college student, leave me alone.
That's all you have to say? Please. I'm a college student too except I don't post one to three word comments like some people.
yea, who actually goes on to humorous websites to leave retarded comments... i mean, my most popular comment was probably "wow, actual boobies." now thats a well thought out comment, ammiiiriiite?
Your top comment is a common thought that, as Youtube would put it, you posted FIRST. There are some people that can post stupid comments that may be short but make you laugh because you never realized that there was a relationship between the pic/gif and something else from memory. Me, I'm neither and I have no problems with that.
I picture you as a typical overweight or lanky twig with a wrist brace on his right hand because of the amount of internet surfing you do on websites like this. For a college student I imagine you don't do well in your classes that involve critical thinking and plethoras of words to write down.
ooo, someone used the word "plethora." Thank god it was a word of the day in my 7th grade home class.
Thank god I used a word with more than two syllables on here.
This could go on for days, but the truth is, a large number of us who often DO use this website, and check every pic that goes up, and comment and socialize via these comments, care about safepooter. We know who he is, and we enjoy his comments. I am also familiar with pitythestupid, Nixie, and many others. I do not, however, recognize you. You have not earned the right to insult others on her, for you do not have your own place in this community yet. And, even if you did have your own spot, we would not tolerate you being an ignorant prick. Just because you do not know someone in person, doesn't mean you have to ignore their needs or forget who they are, because WE, the LOLbrarians, do care, and do not enjoy people hurting our friends.
Even if I don't have the right to insult people on here I already have so deal with it. You make Lolbrary sound bigger than it is.
Oh my God, you must be twelve to think that was about the site. The point is, we care about each other. That is a human quality that your family's long line of inbreeding has clearly left you without. I'm sorry to have wasted your time.
I'm thankful that I struck a chord with you and the rest of you people overreacting over someone leaving Lolbrary.
You're still SO FUCKING DUMB to think that it's as simple as that.
What warms my heart is the support given to pitythestupid in this argument via ratings :) I know who everyone is and I wish safepooter well.
Do those syllables come with two dicks in your mouth as well?
ps: im not sure you recognize sarcasm, and i imagine youre some ugly guy. the end.
No I do, I'm not sure you recognize trolling. And I imagine you can't think of more creative comebacks than "you're ugly." Not the end.
You really don't seem like a college student from your responses. Also, this is more entertainment for viewers than me being in any possible way annoyed or bothered by your responses.
I'd upvote this and wish you luck if you were like Deathdark or someone else that was actually recognized on here. But sadly my bag of fucks to give is empty. And who am I? My good sir, I am a humble bystander who is just pointing out what I'm sure many viewers on here are wondering also.
I'll miss you, SafePooter! I hope everything improves for you ^___^
because of bill im not going to delete it but ill come on here maybe once a week
Yeah, he sent out shout out about it. I was gonna talk to you 'bout leaving anyway, but still great of him to do that. Just take things slow, m'kay?
Bill, site admin, called in the frequent posters to help. He's the kind of admin every site needs.
ya i figured that and i really appreciate it
The system is set to remember your login for 30 days so just drop on by every once in a while and check top 7 days so you will get cheered up by only the best stuff! I'm about to send you a private message btw.
I don't know you, but I hope everything works out for you.
A safepooter is a rare thing these days... I'm sorry to hear the lolbary will be losing their only one, and as i sit here fucking myself i'd like to say that if you dont know the truth, you'll believe anything so read your Bible!!!
May I ask what in the hell is going on that spurred this post?
Just in case this is relevant: I was only kidding around with you when I corrected your grammar mistake dude. Don't leave this website -- it's probably the greatest thing on the Internet since and not including free porn. But seriously, stick around.
well here's the sum of it, my mom commited suicide, my fiancee left me and my brother in the hospital for trying to kill himself
seems like you may need a community of idiots to help distract you from time to time.. i know nothing will really help, i cant imagine the slew of emotions that comes with that.
For those not knowing what the fuck is going on here: http://www.lolbrary.com/post/18383/anyone-else-not-understand-this/?highlight=60109#comment60109
I've missed a lot on the site, so I'm not entirely familiar with your status, or even what has happened, but I send my best wishes and look forward to seeing your understated, amusing comments again sometime soon. You will always be a LOLbrarian among the best.

Salaam :)
so i've been tinkering with my RAM. i took out 2 sticks and it seems to be doing just fine.
i7 930 - triple channel memory
5870 ati radeon
DDR3 1333mhz 12 GB RAM (after BSoD, my computer detects 8GB - then goes to 12GB after i reboot)
the memory is 2 tripple channel kits in 2GB pairs. so... 2 x (2GB x 3) see picture since its kinda confusing
the 2 that i took out
now i have 4 sticks left (2GBx4 = 8GB)
so my triple channel is broken...
1. is it worth getting another triple channel kit?
2. please explain what the colours mean in the RAM slots.. is it related to triple channel slots?
3. explain RAM compatibility with other RAM please (i.e. timing, voltage, etc.)
4. would you recommend this? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6820104206
thanks for telling me about lifetime deal!

Summary (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
The protagonist of this tale, Aylmer, is a scientist "proficient in every branch of natural philosophy." The plot is set in motion when he marries a beautiful young woman, Georgiana, who bears a curious birthmark on her cheek in the shape of a tiny crimson hand. Envious women sometimes say it spoils her beauty, but most men find it enchanting. Aylmer, however, becomes obsessed with the birthmark as the one flaw in an otherwise perfect beauty. When Aylmer involuntarily shudders at the appearance of the birthmark, which waxes and wanes with the flushing or paling of the lady's cheek, Georgiana also develops a horror of her supposed blemish. Aylmer has a prophetic dream in which he seeks surgically to remove the mark, but it recedes as he probes till it clutches at her heart. In despair, Georgiana encourages Aylmer to try to remove the mark, even if it endangers her life to do so.
He secludes her in a lovely boudoir and entertains her with enchanting illusions and captivating fragrances. He and his gross, shaggy-haired assistant, Aminadab, labor mightily in Aylmer's laboratory to produce an elixir that will irradicate the imperfection of his nearly perfect bride. The laboratory's fiery furnace, its soot-blackened walls, its gaseous odors, and its test tubes and crucibles contrast grimly against the ethereal boudoir where his wife waits.
Meanwhile, Georgiana finds and reads Aylmer's journal, which records his scientific experiments....

Published in Nathaniel Hawthorne's collection Mosses From an Old Manse, "The Birthmark," using the third-person-omniscient point of view, tells the story of a beautiful woman, Georgiana, whose face is imprinted with a pale red birthmark in the shape of a small hand, and her husband, Aylmer, a scientist, who possesses a high degree "of faith in man's ultimate control over Nature." Georgiana had thought her mark to be a sort of "charm," and men in the past had found it enchanting, suggesting a sexual symbolism. Aylmer, however, considers it an imperfection and, confident in his power over nature, wants to remove it from her face. He persuades her to allow him to remove it, even after he reveals his frightening dream that he must carve down to her heart to do so, because she feels they cannot be happy together unless the birthmark is gone. While they both admire perfection, she understands it in spiritual terms while Aylmer reduces it to the physical, not comprehending the utter goodness of his wife and taking full advantage of his ability to dominate her. Guiding her to his laboratory, which includes beautiful rooms designed to relax and perhaps mesmerize her, Aylmer ultimately succeeds in removing the birthmark, but Georgiana, as the dream foretold, dies. "The Birthmark" ultimately valorizes "natural" beauty, which might contain imperfections, over the "ideal" beauty created by art or science; explores the hubris of art and science in attempting to perfect what nature provides; and also reveals a fascination and discomfort with the power of women's sexuality, which might cause a man do anything, including jeopardizing a woman's life, to diminish it.
Extended Summary
Aylmer, a man who has devoted his life to science, leaves "the laboratory [and] wash[es] the stain of acids from his fingers" to marry the beautiful Georgiana. His love of science is so strong, however, he cannot completely wean himself from it: his love for his wife "intertwine[s] itself with his love of science." Soon after their marriage, Aylmer asks Georgiana whether she has ever considered removing from her cheek a birthmark, very tiny but bearing in shape a likeness to the human hand. Pale red, it would fade when she blushed but become more distinct when she paled. "Seeing her otherwise so perfect, he found this one defect grow more and more intolerable with every moment of their married lives," until finally Georgiana begins to shudder under his critical gaze. He recounts to her a disturbing dream that when he, with his servant Aminadab, operated on her cheek, the deeper he went with his knife to remove the mark, the deeper the mark sank into her skin so that eventually the tiny hand of the birthmark "caught hold of Georgiana's heart." Even then, however, Aylmer was resolved to remove it. In spite of the dream, he is convinced that he can perform the operation successfully, and she admires her husband's devotion to an ideal that motivates him to perfect her in this way.
Aylmer then takes Georgiana into his laboratory, where his assistant Aminadab, a man of little intellect and "grimed with the vapors of the furnace," is ready to assist him in removing his wife's birthmark. After she faints in fear, Aminadab comments, "If she were my wife, I'd never part with that birthmark." When Georgiana awakes she finds herself in beautiful apartments where Aylmer shows her some of his magic to ease her spirits. She is delighted by the play of light he performs for her but is dismayed when a magical plant dies upon her touch. He tries to make a daguerreotype of her, but this fails. However, he continues to tell his wife of his accomplishments, and when she expresses fear that a mere human should possess such powers, he assures her that he would never use them, and to remove the "little hand" on her face would be but a "trifling" matter. As time goes by in the beautiful room, Georgiana begins to suspect that Aylmer has already begun his experiments on her because she feels peculiar sensations, and this awareness is accompanied by her increased loathing of the mark on her face, which she now feels exceeds...

new character I've been working on..Getting close to finished so figured I would share it. Crits welcome
Those are some pretty sweet sculpts you got there. The last one reminds me of Rolento from the Street Fighter Alpha series. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot trubluu, trying my best! Hope to have some updates relatively soon.
New Poly painting for his skin..Played around with zphere rigging! More updates soon. And hopefully more dynamic pose.
Final Update on this guy..Let me know what you think..
Kind of reminds me of that knife-fighting dude from Resident Evil 4. What nationality did you have in mind? Has a European flair to it, I think.
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction." -E.F. Schumacher
Quick sketch I'm working on..about 3 hours dynamesh. I'm trying to work this into an older piece I did. Also playing around with BPR.

Richard "Dick" Stephen Plasch Sr.
Richard "Dick" Stephen Plasch Sr., our dear dad, passed away Tuesday, April 10, 2012, with family by his side, in his home on the Minong Flowage that he shared with his daughter and son-in-law.
Richard "Dick" Stephen Plasch Sr., our dear dad, passed away Tuesday, April 10, 2012, with family by his side, in his home on the Minong Flowage that he shared with his daughter and son-in-law. He lost his fight to cancer after a courageous yearlong battle at age 81.
Dick was born in St. Paul, Minn., on June 14, 1930, to Emma and Stephen. He was one of six boys. His father passed away when he was only nine, leaving his mother a single parent.
His family moved to Superior when he was very young. He graduated from Central High School and married his sweetheart, Gloria Teenquist. They had two children and remained living in Superior, while spending summers at their cabin, on Dowling Lake.
Dick worked 41 years in the beer business as a driver and salesman for Northern Brewery, Matthew's Distributing, and ended his career working for Northwest Beverage. He enjoyed his job and the many business owners he met over the years. He was a member of Zion Lutheran Church and the Eagles, for more than 25 years.
After retirement Dick started spending half the year in Apache Junction, Ariz., and the other half living in Wascott.
Family was most important to Dick and he was active in his children's and grandchildren's lives. He was so proud of their accomplishments.
Dick enjoyed bowling, golfing, swimming, playing gin and working in his large vegetable garden. Listening to old time music, especially polkas was a must.
June 14 was a celebration each year as he and his son Richard "Rick" shared the same birthday.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Gloria (1983) and brothers Robert and Stephen.
Dick is survived by his daughter, Carol (Robert) Callery; son, Richard (Maria) Plasch Jr.; brothers, Clifford (Jan) of Chippewa Falls, Donald (Jean) of Kirkland Wash., and Kenneth of Astoria, Ore.; grandchildren, Heather Callery, Christy (Kyle) Severin, Cara, Troy, Chad (Kryssi) and Eric Plasch, and Rico and Jeanna Mace; great-grandchildren, Kendall Callery, Brayden and Bower Severin, Keegan and Hattie, Tayva and Tieryn, and Sydney Plasch, Colton Simonson, and Dominik Mace; along with many cousins, nieces, and nephews and special friend Lorraine Karling, with whom he shared many wonderful memories.
His visitation will be 5-7 p.m. Monday, April 16, in the Downs Funeral Home, 1617 N. 19th St. Visitation will continue at noon until the 1 p.m. funeral service Tuesday, April 17 at Zion Lutheran Church. Rev. Patrick Ziems will officiate. Interment will be in Greenwood Cemetery.
Pallbearers for the service are his grandchildren. Honorary pallbearers are George Anderson, Bruce Brown, Floyd Keup, Roger Godleske, Norm Kunes and Joseph Gondik.
Family wants to express their heartfelt thanks to Shannon White, his hospice nurse, and all those involved with in this wonderful program, and to our family and friends for their visits, meals, love, and support. Also to our friend Barb who aided Dick and our family during the last difficult weeks.

Inspired by the "I'm sick of supporting Liverpool" blog elsewhere.*BUMP*Help make a difference - 5,000 members is merely a dot in the ocean of Liverpool fans. Show you care, join SOS now.
If I live to be a hundred and Liverpool bring in genius managers who win Quadruples and Quintuples for the club, I'll always point to Rafa as the one who meant the most to me.
Just joined from the states
Nice one Tentacles, was it the thought of not having a Donner kebab tonight that swung it..! Was over in New York last month for a holiday with the Mrs.. never eaten so much in my life lolQuality post above by Boardman by the way...
quote and trust me on this....lucas is the future of liverpool fc. i think he will be more important to us in 6-7 years time than nando, mash etc
Brilliant thread. In the week it's been running, there have been over 2,000 new members by my reckoning!
Jaysus, i wonder how commission Garstonite will make out of that?
ITS FRIDAY...!!!!!Don't have that final bevvie and dirty donner tonight, wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed and spend the tenner saved on something else...Join the Union.
I joined a few weeks ago, just waiting for my welcome pack *hint hint*
After quite a while, I've just joined. I have reservations. But They are doing good things for the wider community of the LFC fanbase and hopefully joining is a positive thing.[/quotewell done andy http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2010/05/15/premier-league-chief-backs-liverpool-s-spirit-fo-shankly-campaign-100252-26450115/

I know I shouldn't bite, just can't help it
Get sent out in monthly batches. So will be with you asap.
Joined. But for me it was £15, is it because I'm a prick?
Overseas? That's what I had to pay, well worth it.
Yeah, same here. Happy to pay whatever is asked But just out of curiosity, why is the fee more for overseas fans?
Higher postage costs?
It really is good to see people signing up for the union, we can do so much more if we do it together.
I assume this is why.

RE: Drucilla Embry
Hi Karen, Thanks so much for all the updates.
Drusilla and Lawson had one daughter, Faye Embry-Long born about 1902, she married James T Long, I have not been able to find her death record.
Her husband died in Grayson County in 1976 and they had no children so I don't imagine she left the area, I just cant find her.
Again, Thank you for all your help.

Mimi's Info...
Breed: | Domestic Longhair | Color: | Black (All) | Age: | Adult |
Sex: | Female | ID#: | 4480953-57925 | Hair: | Unknown |
I am already spayed, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Sweet cuddle bug of a girl who loves brushing and attention, purrs a lot and will let you hold her...carry her around...turn her upside down like a baby...you get the picture! Mimi's special needs are chronic sniffles, to which she may be more prone because she is FIV+. And in a home of her own, she may even sniffle less!

Heaven on Earth Society for Animals was founded in 2000 to address the tragic plight of homeless animals—strays and ferals who spend their lives fighting starvation, predators, disease and harsh weather while they continue to reproduce in exorbitant numbers. Our long-term goal is to implement community-wide spay/neuter programs, sustain an adoption program for rescued strays and provide long-term care for animals with low adoption potential due to medical conditions, disability, temperament or age. We presently operate a cage-free, no-kill sanctuary in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County that serves as a haven for homeless special needs cats.
We are now showing our adoptable angels at the Petco in Van Nuys, CA from 12:00pm to 3:00pm on Saturdays!

Of course you can always make an appointment to come to our shelter & meet our adoptable angels during the week.
Heaven on Earth works hard at matching adopters with the right pet. Potential adopters are thoroughly screened and all known information about the pet is disclosed to ensure an ideal match.

I read it again and see they built it in 2001 so they did not realize someday the satellite view would show it was built sideways. Still nice though.
when you look on Google Maps,they built Ireland sideways :) Donegal is West, Cork is East, Galway is South, Dublin is North.
Great work, and fun to read. Thanks!

Roni the Raccoon stood out for two reasons. Firstly, this mascot replaced a raccoon that had actually existed. Indeed, Lake Placid had an animal of this type called Rocky, who was to have served as the OG mascot. Unfortunately, Rocky died just before the start of the event and had to be replaced by Roni. His second particularity was that this was the first time in the history of the Olympic Games that a mascot had been disseminated on a large scale and in various forms.

The concept is explained by the designer - "I designed this watch to reflect the minimal mind based on the traditional aesthetic sense of Japan."

Michigan woman still collecting food stamps after winning $1 million lottery
People love stories about someone winning the lottery and then giving the money away. They're less likely to feel fondly about Amanda Clayton, who won $1 million in the Michigan State Lottery but is still collecting food stamps.
"I thought that they would cut me off, but since they didn't, I thought maybe it was OK because I'm not working," Clayton, 24, told Local 4 news in Detroit.
Back in December, a woman in Washington State fell under scrutiny when it was revealed she was receiving state economic benefits even though she lives in a $1 million waterfront home on Lake Washington.
Clayton, who says she owns two homes and a new car, receives $200 a month in food assistance from the state-issued Michigan Bridge Card, which is meant to benefit lower-income residents in the nation's eigth most economically depressed state.
Twenty-five percent of Michigan's residents receive some form of food assistance from the state. The state's unemployment rate is 9.3 percent, more than a full point above the national average, but has dropped from a 10.4 percent peak in August.
And Clayton isn't embarrassed about living off the state even though she now finds herself in the nation's top tax bracket. "I mean I kinda do," Clayton told Local 4 when asked if she had a "right" to the government welfare.
She certainly doesn't the fit the mold of other lottery winners we have told you about here at the Sideshow, including the number of repeat winners of the Georgia State Lottery, many of whom chose to donate their initial winnings to charity or family members in need.
Clayton downplayed her wealth, saying she took the $1 million in a lump sump, which meant about half immediately went to taxes. "I feel that it's OK because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay," she said. "I have two houses."
Her story has already caught attention locally, where state Republican Rep. Dale Zorn has sponsored a bill preventing individuals like Clayton from taking state financial assistance.
"Public assistance should be given to those who are in need of public assistance, not those who have found riches," Zorn told Local 4. The bill, which has already passed the state House and has a sister bill in the Senate, would require the state to cross check the names of lottery winners over $1,000 to see if they are also receiving state financial benefits.

Ok I know I am going to offend some people here but I am sorry, she deserves it! So I apologize in advance.
Are you ******* serious? This White Trash Whore, thinks that she can win a cool mil, and still take the taxpayers money? Are you serious! Don't try and downplay the money, "oh it was a little over half, because of the lump sum and the taxes". Lady you walked away with a little over a half mil, bought two houses, and a car. Not sure how much you have left, but it still should be enough. Oh you have bills to pay, well then maybe you should not have bought that second house, dumbass! Hope the car you bought was not that old Cavalier you had in the video, because if it was, you still should have more then plenty left.
They should make this dumbass *****, pay every cent back that she was given after she collected her money. Yeah now there is a loop hole, and now the government wants to do something about it. Um Hello, should something not have already been in place? Hope she does not keep getting anything, if she does. They need to fire everyone in office in the State, and start over.
Ok I am good now, carry on.....
Oops just noticed I spelled assistance wrong in the title, DOH!

Cubs agree to terms with RHP Jackson
CHICAGO (AP) — A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that the Chicago Cubs have agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract with right-hander Edwin Jackson.
The person spoke Thursday on the condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Several outlets had previously reported the agreement.
The Cubs will be the eighth team in 11 years for the 29-year-old Jackson, who also pitched for the White Sox. He is 70-71 lifetime with a 4.40 ERA. He was 10-11 with a 4.03 ERA for Washington last season.

BLOG: More Apples in the enterprise space?
In May 2011, research firm IDC decided that iPads and other portable devices with ARM-based mobile chips would be categorised alongside Intel PC processors. This puts Apple in serious contention to become the leading portable computer vendor in 2012.
According to Taiwan's DigiTimes, market research firms are predicting that sales will increase in 2012 to 80 million tablets (from 60 million in 2011), with Apple devices accounting for 60 million of them. Apple is also expected to ship 15 million MacBooks in 2012, giving it a combined 75 million units or between 25 to 30 percent share of the global notebook market.
So is Apple an enterprise-class vendor? In his November 2009 blog, John Pescatore, vice president and research fellow at Gartner, notes that Apple can never become an enterprise-class vendor until it addresses the security requirements of enterprises.
However, two events in 2011 may change this perception. The first is the unrelenting consumerisation of IT, which sees consumers forcing IT to finally allow personal devices to become part of the enterprise infrastructure. The second is Apple's declaration that it does understand the importance of security and has worked on securing its platform.
According to Netmarketshare, Apple is making headway as the preferred mobile platform, with the iOS operating system steadily gaining market share in the past year. Apple's positioning of iOS as a "cool" client computing operating system has attracted a group of loyal customers on its devices and platforms coupled with its continued innovation process.
What can business organisations do to roll out new technologies effectively and efficiently? Most organisations have long-entrenched deployment processes for operating systems, applications and software updates that are network-based, thus making it easier to deploy only one type of device across the entire enterprise, leaving no room for a variety of technologies. Nearly all business applications today are written for and developed specifically for the Windows operating environment, making it difficult traditionally for IT departments to provide Apple support in the enterprise.
However, according to Forrester Research's senior analyst David K Johnson, one of the main reasons why employees are increasingly inclined to choose Macs over PCs is speed. Johnson says: "Many of today's corporate PCs are saddled with management, backup, and security agents that can bog down a PC. Employees want their PCs to boot in 10 seconds, not 10 minutes, and they don't want to have to get a cup of coffee while opening a 20 MB spreadsheet in Excel. They're drawn to uncluttered Macs -- especially those with solid-state drives, which are more responsive and boot in seconds."
At the same time, with the consumerisation of IT, enterprises today are slowly accepting Apple machines in the enterprise with the caveat that these Mac OS-based computers must comply with existing enterprise policies around security, manageability and software licensing policies.
Apple, itself, provides a way to run Windows on a Mac through Apple Boot Camp. However the process requires rebooting the computer every time the user wants to switch between Mac applications and Windows programs – a highly inefficient process. The rapid growth of work from home culture, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to work, smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices and the adoption of cloud-based technologies is increasingly pressuring employers to introduce more flexible measures within corporations.
To keep up with the BYOD trend, IT departments need to either explicitly include Apple devices in their standard operating environments or implement desktop virtualisation to make core applications device agnostic.
Ovum principal analyst Roy Illsley says desktop virtualisation can go a long way towards alleviating the pressure of PC maintenance costs, end-user flexibility and the proliferation of mobile devices for CIOs.
With desktop virtualization, business users can experience as much or as little Windows as they want. Multiple view modes make it possible for users to customise the level of integration between Mac and Windows without compromising performance.
Apple itself is still a long way away from meeting the stringent enterprise policies around software licensing and management. With no certainty as to when this becomes a reality, companies like Parallels recognise the users' need to define what tools, including computers, they want to use at work, and are building solutions to bridge the computing divide that exists between what users want and what IT, as caretaker of enterprise IT, must enforce.

Wanted to get opinions from experts if this is possble ? Or because of the way they were constructed do you lose tone and sound quality. I understand you can switch the nut and bridge but wondered about bracing, construction, etc.

Glenn F Made by Allen Jones
The old Gibson 'A' mandolins had only one transverse brace, the carving is symmetrical, and, other than the pick guard, they don't really care if they're strung lefty or righty.
John Hamlett
Except... since the slots were grooved upside down (left to right) deeper shallower, or whatever, you will have to reverse the bridge (if removable) and to install a new nut and groove it appropriately.Originally Posted by (sunburst @ Sep. 30 2007, 22:29)
Assuming you have no pick guard to address (if it has one, upside down is difficult to use) then that is not an issue.
Being a lefty, I wanted to start with a lefty mando but I started on a rightly without knowing what a lefty was...the fingers work correctly if you start in one way or the other.
I'm a bit confused by your comments about being "grooved upside down", but at any rate, it's not as simple as "reversing" the bridge.Originally Posted by (jk245 @ Sep. 30 2007, 21:52)
If you expect the intonation to be anywhere near correct, it must be replaced by a bridge that the intonation has been cut from the left hand aspect. Just reversing it will, at best, be a crapshoot.
Also, unless the string slots were totally redone, rather than just "good enough" and if that original saddle had been cut correctly, every string will likely buzz because of the remaining built in back angle of the original slots.
My wife says I don't pay enough attention to what she says....
(Or something like that...)
To clarify, I took that statement as meaning that the OP understands that the nut and bridge would have to be replaced (switched), so I didn't see the need to go into all that. The question was about the structure and how it would be affected by opposite stringing.Originally Posted by (kwelty @ Sep. 30 2007, 22:13)
John Hamlett
Thanks a bunch for all the replys. Unfortunatley I play true lefty, been playing for 2 years, intermediate player level.
It sounds like I will be OK as long as I get someone to replace the nut & bridge with a "real" lefty version of these and then set it up real good. I will look for one without a guard. This seemed like a potential alternative to me to obtain a great "A" for a price I could afford (1000-1500 range).
Did I translate correctly ?

The nut would need to be replaced, but couldn't you just flip the saddle around (or is this a one piece bridge?)
If you had an old bowlback that didn't have a compensated saddle you could. It the bridge has a compensated saddle just flipping it would result in the intonation being wrong.Originally Posted by (buddyellis @ Oct. 01 2007, 11:23)
"bargain instruments are no bargains if you can't play them"
--Jim Garber
Take a close look here and you should see what the problem will be.
Yes, it will "kinda" sound OK...
As long as you don't stray far from the nut end during your playing. If you play high up on the board, it wil become very apparent.
My wife says I don't pay enough attention to what she says....
(Or something like that...)
Some saddles are symmetrical. That won't fix the left hand right hand issue though the more I think about it. The bass side would be all the way forward, and the treble all the way back (opposite of what it should be)
weird that I was looking at an old Gibson A oval (what sweet sound it had,I think I finally understand the whole mandolin spoke to me thing)today and thinking the same thing. I did notice that the one piece bridge was taller on the G string side but seemed to be straight across so I was wondering if this bridge could be reversed or would it need to be replaced along with the nut? This one was missing the pickguard but there were holes in the side of the fretboard where the pins had been. Mr. Hamlett, you up to the task of cleaning up and converting one of these if I should MAS-out?
On the other hand, I had a Gibson A that came to me with the bridge "reversed" and I noticed no difference in sound either way. It intonated correctly and everything. Your mileage may vary, as they say.
"And what is good, Phaedrus, and what is not good--Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?"
Yea, but a right- to -left conversion is quite a different reversal. Just flipping the bridge on a right hand instrument doesn't change things that much. Flipping the instrument end to end and restringing it makes a good 3/8" difference in scale length (shorter on the bass side, longer on the treble side instead of the other way around) You'd have to cut a new saddle from ebony or find someone who sells them. Cumberland Acoustics might make one, I think you can buy just the saddle portion of the bridge.
They are available from different sources. I'm pretty sure Roger Siminoff is one who offers them.
My wife says I don't pay enough attention to what she says....
(Or something like that...)
Normally, when a bridge is higher on one side than the other, it is because the surface of the fretboard is not quite perfectly plumb with the top of the arch of the soundboard. Either the dovetail was off of plumb a touch or the soundboard is graduated not quite symetrically, neither of which is an earthshaking situation in and of itself as long as the setup is correctly compensated for.Originally Posted by (DryBones @ Oct. 01 2007, 17:53)
In fact, sometimes a fretboard might be intentionally canted a bit for surmised ease of playing.
It's unlikely, however that bridge can be reversed without doubling what small bit of difference there was to start with.
A new bridge, compensated for that difference will likely be necessary.
My wife says I don't pay enough attention to what she says....
(Or something like that...)
This was a one piece bridge with no compensations in it the top was actually sloped. there was also a small hole through the brdgie on 1 side. I saw this on at least 2 of the old A's that were in this store. 2 were tagged 1916 and 1919. I have to go back later this week so I will try and get pics unless somebody else recognizes what I am talking about.
The hole is for mounting the pickguard.
Bottom liner, sounds like the idea will work....... Now just have to find a great sounding old Gibson A. Hmmmmmmmm The have it converted, that will probably cost at least one old engagement ring I have laying around.
Glenn F Made by Allen Jones
The one I saw isn't much more than that 615 probably cost you.
so you know of what I speak? Sound like original bridge? could this style of bridge be flipped around for a lefty or would a new one have to be built?Originally Posted by (markishandsome @ Oct. 01 2007, 21:29)
several diff opinions on bridge, my guess is a new one will be required to make it right.
Glenn F Made by Allen Jones
If I may be so bold as to offer a visual aid do help understand what Ron is speaking of.
The top picture shows a bridge higher on the g string side but it matches the pitch of the fingerboard (shown as the smaller rectangle).
The bottom picture shows the same mandolin with the bridge reversed. It will not work if the bridge is higher on one side to match a fingerboard that is not in the same plane from side to side as the top of the mandolin.
Bill Snyder
point well made, real lefty bridge required vs. rightly flipped. i am sure that is what is required and prepared for that. my real question was about flipping the whole mandolin around and if that would mess up the tone due to internal bracing and all that builder stuff. sounds like that will make do differance at all. so i am good to go, now off to find a great sound old Gibson "A" for a price that my wife understands.

Empty My Hands
Sometimes, we just need to let go. Let go of everything. Let go of our pride, our pain, our suffering, our dreams, our successes, our failures. Why? We don't need these things in our life. They don't lift us up. They only tear us apart and bring us further from our Father. It's weird. Why do we hold on to all these worldly desires when they're so hard to hold onto in the first place. How do we let go of them?
For me, I struggle with letting go of my reputation and pride. I built up so much of myself so that people can see me as such a happy person who can do this and that and loves this and that. But, that's not really who I am. I make mistakes when others don't see me. I cry. I fail. I hurt. I don't know how to be me. I mean how can I even do that when I don't know who "me" is? You know.. it took me so long but I realized all I have to do it let go. Let go and trust God. Not only trust God, but WANT Him. I need to hunger and thirst for Him. Matthew 5:6 says: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Lord, empty my hands, fill up my heart, capture my mind with you. I want to want you. Help me let go of my pride and my pain so that I can focus on you and what you've done for me. Rid me of all these barriers.
I could easily go off on many tangents on this topic but I'll save that for later heeh :) Remember our God is awesome. He will be there to catch you when you fall. He is the only one who can completely complete us.
"Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you." - Psalm 9:10

No. 6 Cougars Use Second Half Run To Take Out No. 11 Allan Hancock In Round Two Of Regional Playoffs
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. –The sixth-ranked College of the Canyons men's basketball team outscored No. 11 Allan Hancock College 38-28 in the second half to beat the visiting Bulldogs 71-68 in the second round of the California Community College Athletic Association Southern California Second Round Regional game on Friday evening. Canyons will now await the winner of the No. 3 Mt. San Antonio versus No. 14 Antelope Valley, to be played on Saturday night, and will face the winner on Wednesday, March 6.
Sophomore forward Ron Harris led COC (21-8) with 19 points and eight rebounds, while going 8-of-11 from the field and a perfect 3-for-3 from the free-throw line. Sophomore guard Jaylen Bland contributed 16 points and two steals, while freshman forward Temjae Singleton pulled down eight rebounds. The Bulldogs opened the game shooting 58.6 percent (17-of-29) from the field and leading by as many as 13 points, as the Cougars struggled from the field and shot 38.2 percent (13-of-34) from the floor. The second half turned out to be all COC. Canyons used a 12-5 run in the span of six minutes to tie up the game at 52-52 with 12:09 left in the game.
Canyons held the lead for the rest of the game, but gave the Bulldogs a chance to come back with six seconds left in the game, as they fouled a player beyond the three-point line. Allan Hancock's Demetrius Thomas only made one-of-three free throws. The playoff victory marks the first time the Cougars have won a second-round game under 13-year head coach Howard Fisher.

Dragon Nest Overview What Does This Upcoming MMO Offer?
The new Dragon Nest MMO is looking promising so far. The game offers features for solo players and PVP players alike. Up to sixteen players can fight it out in the arena. Solo players can enter dungeons alone. The dungeons are rated as Master, Hard, Normal, and Easy.
If youre looking for a new fantasy MMO, then you will definitely want to give Dragon Nest a go when it comes out. This Eyedentity game delivers battle action in realtime. There is no monotonous click and wait during combat. As you level up you will acquire new skills, which can be chained together to complete combo moves. There are four classes: Warrior, Archer, Sorceress, and Cleric. The Warrior uses melee combo attacks to crush enemies with heavy weapons such as hammers, broadswords, and axes. This melee class can pound the ground to stun mobs. The Archer is all about crowd control. Archers can wield crossbows, longbows, and even special bolts to strike at multiple enemies. The Sorceress is the magic user. As a Sorceress, you can unleash elemental magic to strike down enemies from a distance. Off-hand objects such as crystal orbs and dolls can be used to perform special attacks. The Cleric is the healing class of Dragon Nest. Clerics can protect and heal themselves and other players. They can also use heavy weapons and lightning bolts to destroy enemies. The world in which you will take part is Lemuria. The game offers a unique blend of realistic 3D graphics and cute anime graphics. One of the best features is great combat mechanics. The combat is set up so that each fight is exciting and unique. If youre tired of the same ole grinding in other MMOs, then Dragon Nest might be the perfect game for you! The combat system doesnt use automatic targeting. This ensures that the player has complete control over their characters movements. You can advance through the levels by fighting and questing in dungeons. The Dragon Nest town system is set up so that you can collect or purchase items for crafting. Visit the appropriate NPC to learn how to craft your own weapons and armor. |

Ghislaine wrote in this thread here
Then Mardar have put a screenshot of ALL the many preset settings that are needed for making this, but this is by far a easy way to share a preset and that the other interested person could copy and reproduce the same preset. I think that would be a good idea to find a way to be able to share presets between users of the filters (only if this preset does not include any image or source that depends on a image or photo stored in the user computer) and so can share your own findings for a determined filter results. Please, would be possible to SHARE the presets in a easy way ? Perhaps one way to do it would be to add a "Share preset" option in the preset settings as shown below and then be able to send it or save it to a choosen folder, so you could then after attach this to an email. Because now there is NO possible way to share those presets you have made yourself unless you send the WHOLE filter to that person with the included preset. |
Posted: March 4, 2012 10:44 pm | ||||||
ALSO would be good if possible to share a group of presets, I mean, as before instead of selecting just one preset to share, it would be good to sel ect 4 or 5 and click also on "share preset" and all the 4 or 5 presets would be copied to the folder that you want.
This would be useful if you make interesting presets that could be useful to others using the same filter. For example: There are lots of filters made by Ghislaine and Mardar that generate things and is not enough with the 20 preset limit, so if you have made some interesting with this filters that they have made, you could be able to share those with the other users. Of course there are MANY (thousands) more filters that could benefit from this ability to share presets, as this is just an example. BE ABLE TO UPLOAD PRESETS TO THE FILTER FORGE WEBSITE Another possible idea is to have a new part in the Online filter library that could have inside each filter also some presets uploaded by other user, and they would be attached to the filter with a download link for those presets and so you could choose which one you want and like to download. |

This would be awesome!! "From the moment we are born, we start being filtered..." |
Posted: March 5, 2012 7:14 am | ||||||
A very good idea, that should be fairly easy to implement. After all, a preset is just an XML file that includes all the setings of all the controls for that preset. If there was a way to export a preset as a file, just like you can share a filter, it would be cool. Let's call it an FFPXML file (Filter Forge Preset XML). Then you could double click the FFPXML file and it would import the preset into the filter, just as double clicking FFXML files adds them to Filter Forge.
While probably possible, I imagine this would be tougher to implement as it would be necessary to change the library structure and\or create a new library, and have FF be able to comunicate with it, as with the filter submition wizard. Also, it would mean a huge load on the FF servers, as all the presets would need to be rendered and saved as images, and while not everybody can make filters, anybody can create hundreds of presets. Imagine having 8700+ presets to each of the 8700+ filters. That would be a mess. |
Posted: March 5, 2012 2:50 pm | ||||||
Please, Please, Filter Forge Inc. Could we have a easy way to be able to export/import filter inside Filter Forge so we could share the presets we have created ?
Perhaps the best way and easier for FF Inc. is to only add the export and import of presets and ONLY share them on the forums, as perhaps would be a problem to have them published in the filters own page, but if it would be possible it would be great. |

After reading this again, I think that perhaps it may be probably a little confusing and could be thought more complex or different than what I though
When I have put "share presets" it means that you will be able to SAVE all the presets of that filter and have all of them in one filter so then after you would be able to LOAD them back So if you can save the presets of the filter and then load them back, you can share them with another person or use it as a backup for yourself SO, the real thing would just and simply to have an option to ALLOW TO SAVE THE PRESETS of the filter that you are using in that moment and of course also be able to LOAD THE PRESETS back. Although it would be good to share presets in the online library it surely would be much more complex to implement and more work to do for FF Inc. and do not think that would be good, and the best way would be to just share them through the forum uploading the presets file that you have saved. |
