Shadowman #13
- Story by
- Peter Milligan
- Art by
- Roberto de la Torre
- Colors by

- Letters by
- Dave Lanphear
- Cover by
- Ben Templesmith, Brian Reber, David Baron, Miguel Sepúlveda, Roberto De La Torre, and Shane Davis
- Publisher
- Valiant Entertainment
While the cover of "Shadowman" #13 boasts an "All-New Creative Team! All-New Beginning!" I find Peter Milligan's story to be more impenetrable than a standard-issue new beginning for a comic book. Granted, this is the thirteenth issue of this volume, but to this point, Valiant has done an admirable job of making the soft reboots for their comic book approachable and cooperative.
Peter Milligan climbs into the writer's chair and pours mystery and darkness into "Shadowman" #13. That is certainly appropriate for the title but it doesn't make the story very easy for newer readers. Luckily the cast is limited to a handful of characters that remain rather distinct throughout this tale. The summary in the "Story So Far…" segment from the inside front cover provides clues for the reader to piece together the components of the actual story in this comic book. Milligan gives readers slivers of the characters, just enough to help define the settings and scenario without truly making any of the characters overly engaging. Furthermore, Milligan doesn't provide the hook of why Shadowman should be worthy of a comic book appearance, let alone his own title.
The art from Roberto de la Torre with colors from David Baron is sharp and invigorating. De la Torre uses a fair amount of photo reference, not unlike that of Alex Maleev's art. Baron's colors, however, are more emotional shading than realistic tones. The color work is similar to the application of gels on a black and white film. The grayscales enhance the primary color, but the color itself sets the true mood for the story. The visuals are even more effective for the flashback sequences, which are washed-out grayscale images largely devoid of absolute boundary. De la Torre's art is refreshing and enjoyable, completely well suited for the story of a Loa haunting the living.
I expected a more welcoming story from "Shadowman" #13 than what I found, but that doesn't mean this isn't an enjoyable tale. As with all Valiant titles, this is a fine detour from the same-old same-old, but it doesn't quite have the hook other recent releases from Valiant have had. There's plenty of mystery and intrigue, but "Shadowman" #13 could have used more of each to lure and lock in newer readers. I'll be back for more, I'm sure, but I'm not yet counting down the days until my next encounter with Shadowman. Hopefully in the next issue, Milligan and de la Torre will give readers more to grow with.

Look for an accommodation close to this path!
It's a beautiful grotto of lavic origin, that dates back to the 1971 eruption on the eastern side of Etna. The beginning of the path is nearby the Citelli Refuge. Starting from the clearing in front of the Refuge, walk along the asphalted road you came from for a few metres, until you see the entrance to the path,also signalled by a red painted sign on the opposite guard-rail. The first part of the path isin a wood with birch, pine and beech trees, following the red painted signs until the end of the wood, where you find a fork in the path: on the right, you go towards Frumento delle Concazze Mount and the 1928 lava flow, whose track is described on the "concazze" link. If you go straight on (you can notice the pole in the photo), you go towards the Serracozzo Grotto.
We keep on going towards the grotto. Along the walk we find sections of wood, then sections of sand and a few pipelines of lava rocks where the water, that originated in spring by the melted snow, flows. During the years, some sections of these pipelines have been polished by the water, turning into strange shapes and colours. You can also notice a particular stone, whose dialect is "cicirara stone", because of the white little impurities on the inside that look like chickpeas.
After a few kilometres you get to the crater, on the inside of which you find the grotto. The entrance is very low: be VERY careful of the ceiling of the grotto, since it has VERY DANGEROUS sharp edges. Ideally you should bring with you SAFETY HELMETS and torches. Once you get in, the grotto appears to you in all its splendour: the openings on the ceiling allow the light to get in, underlying on the sides of the grotto, the stripes left by the lava during its flow. After a few metres the height of the grotto reduces significantly, so you have to crawl to move onwards. We suggest you going beyond the lightened areas ONLY if you are equipped with torches and helmets. You can download the pictures of the grotto in the section dedicated to the registered users.

Seaside Scoop on The Genoa Bay Café
Seaside dining accessible by land and water, the Genoa Bay Café has been a favourite destination for recreational boaters and Vancouver Islanders in-the-know. Proud new owners Stacey Johnson, Gord Rumley and Dan Caird, along with Café chef Dave Cartner are enthusiastic to share their passion for great food and fine wine this season at the Café.
Eat Magazine Review:
Genoa Bay Café
If you are driving hill & dale exploring the Cowichan Valley, and you want to "discover" the most picture-perfect spot, at the end of the world, for killer mussels and frites, I know the place. Genoa Bay Café [5000 Genoa Bay Road, Unit #9, Duncan Tel: 250-746-7621] is located at Mile Zero. You cannot go any further along the road or you will end up in the drink surrounded by bobbing sail boats. This charming little bistro is on the pier in a romantic-looking weathered clapboard cottage, and hiddey-ho, the food rocks! The chef has a pedigree. Chef Dave Cartner hails from Vancouver. He was the chef at popular Bin 941 and did a longtime run at Chateau Whistler. Owners Gord Rumley and Stacey Johnston work the floor; the service is crisp, fun and informative. The menu is simple but huge on fresh local flavours and the execution is deft, the presentation pleasing to the eye. The place is always packed. The locals have kept this spot to themselves far too long. Not anymore.
Article on Genoa Bay in Pacific Yachting Magazine:
When in Genoa Bay
Tucked under the steep treed slope of Mt. Tzuhalem, Genoa Bay is one of our favourite places to hang out on the West Coast. For us, returning here is like coming home. Owner-operators and brothers, Ben and Will Kiedaisch, maintain a friendly laid-back atmosphere at Genoa Bay Marina that is hard to find anywhere. This is the place where we relax, chat with fellow boaters or, best yet, share a meal with friends at The Genoa Bay Café.
Our first shore duty upon arriving at Genoa Bay is to make reservations for the evening meal at the rustic café hanging on the rocks above the marina. The Genoa Bay Café has changed hands since our last visit. Chef Dave Cartner's menu features northwest fare and local organic produce. Call 250-746-7621 for reservations.
Comment on Affinity Guesthouse Blog:
We had a fantastic paddle to Genoa Bay Café for dinner last night. The food is as good as ever at the cafe, we enjoyed the seasonal risotto, duck and the most amazing halibut dish! Yum yum!
Mother's Day? Try their brunch at the Genoa Bay Café. A great chef, here, and worth the few minutes drive from Maple Bay to Genoa Bay, on Southern Vancouver Island. Right at seaside, with the docks and boats to entice you, this gem is open for lunch and dinner — reservations recommended. It's now a "discovered secret". Enjoy!
Super, Natural British Columbia Canada Article:
Genoa Bay
This delightful piece of paradise tucked into a natural harbour on the northeastern shore of Cowichan Bay is the "kind of place sailors, wooden boaters, romantics and intelligent sentimentalists hold close to their hearts," wrote noted European travel writer and sailor Ferenc Máté.
Genoa Bay Marina has a full range of facilities for sailors including a marina store and "office on the go" business and internet services. Bonus: The Genoa Bay Café, frequently cited as one of the better (and certainly most charming) restaurants in the Cowichan Valley. Known for its clam chowder, fish and chips, seafood dishes, and dessert menu.
Review on FoodPages.ca
Fantastic food, fantastic service and views that can't be beat! We have dined at the Genoa Bay Café on numerous occasions and each time everything has been just perfect. From the welcoming, friendly staff, to the superb food presentation and the delicious meals, to a spectacular oceanfront location, we highly recommend it.
Under new ownership, with Gord and Stacey to greet and serve, it couldn't be run by more dedicated, fun and upbeat people.
The chef is amazing, with lots of experience in the best restaurants in BC.
Well done Genoa Bay Café … can't wait to go back!

ROFL....why do we bother with toys??ReplyDelete
Ha ha, that's cute! BTW, are you still having issues with Caroline biting? Just wondering, because Eden is also a biter. And I have no idea what to do about it. She doesnt bite out of anger or anything like that...she just randomly comes over, smiles, and bites either Kris or I. Not her finest trick. Ah, toddlers!ReplyDelete

Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez & More Stars Betrayed By Cheating Guys
Heartbreak is the worst. Even the biggest celebs in the world have been betrayed by the men in their life. HollywoodLife.com has rounded up all the heartbroken hotties!
Hollywood can be the place of broken hearts. Stars like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and more have been hurt by their boyfriends in the past. Tears and breakups have accompanied these betrayals, but these ladies have stayed strong through it all!
Miley Cyrus Betrayed By Patrick Schwarzenegger
Miley and Patrick were madly in love, until it all came crashing down. Basically, spring break happened. Photos were released on March 16 of Patrick getting handsy with a little brunette in Cabo. The pictures featured the girl with her arms wrapped around Patrick, and Patrick taking body shots off of her stomach!
HollywoodLife.com has learned that Miley didn't want to sever ties with Patrick completely, but he's going to have to do "something major to get her to forgive him." However, once more spring break pics hit the web of Patrick with his ex-girlfriend Taylor Burns, Miley was D-O-N-E.
As a revenge tactic, Miley twerked on former flame Mike Will Made It at SXSW on March 19. At this point in the game, Patrick doesn't know where he stands with Miley, and he's worried.
"She's letting him stew a little until she decides what to do with their relationship," a source told us. "He wants clear the air talks, but she's not responsive to that just yet. In truth, she doesn't know what to do next."
Selena Gomez, Khloe Kardashian & More Who've Been Scorned
Selena and Justin Bieber's on-again, off-again relationship was tumultuous and plagued by constant drama. Justin's always been a ladies man, and Selena learned that the hard way.
Justin posted a photo with sexy model Chantel Jeffries on June 30 to his Shots page, and he had serious ulterior motives. "Justin posted those pictures with Chantel to hurt Selena," a source told us. "He knows how to push her buttons." Justin and Selena have since gone their separate ways, with Justin continuing to be the ultimate single guy in Hollywood.
Khloe Kardashian has always been open about how her relationship with Lamar Odom fell apart. In a July 2014 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe revealed that Lamar cheated on her during their marriage.
HollywoodLifers, do you think these celebs should forgive their exes? Let us know!

Last week Sensei was impressive with his Hobbit prognostication, a $74 million prediction with the film opening to $73.6 million. This week, it's pure chaos with so many holiday openers. Sounds like fun.
Sensei's weekend predictions and revenue results are as follows:
1. "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" ($34 million) – Film faces a formidable challenge from Anchorman 2, but Sensei sees this film pulling a slight edge. The first Anchorman had its moments but wasn't exactly a word of mouth bonanza. Meanwhile, word of mouth has been positive on this franchise installment. But hey, you stay in the hunt San Diego.
2. "Anchorman 2" ($32 million)– Good start for this one, but the film may have actually "over-marketed" a bit, scaring away much of that coveted male 24-35 demographic. A demo that Hobbit will gladly take instead. College crowds will fuel this one, but past Will Ferrell films haven't held well over weekends in recent years. Still, look for a close race at the top.
3. "American Hustle" ($17 million) – So begins this film's major Oscar push. Reviews are stellar (which doesn't really help here really), but audiences so far have been supportive of the cast (especially Jennifer Lawrence). Lawrence is also very good in Oscar appeal (Silver Linings Playbook) and will help the film considerably. Oh, and on the plus side, she faces no homicidal monkeys (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire).
4. "Frozen" ($16 million) – Walt Disney's latest animated fare only posted a 28 percent drop last week–that's fantastic for this time of year. Family audiences continue to not to be disappointed with this one.
5. "Saving Mr. Banks" ($11 million) – Film has Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson hoping for Oscar attention. The true story of adapting Mary Poppins to the big screen is great for spectacle, but Sensei feels Oscar nominations will be tough in the Academy's current heated climate. Still, can anyone remember the last time a "live action" Disney labeled film hit the marketplace? If you said The Lone Ranger, you'd be right. That seems like forever.
In other calls:
Walking With Dinosaurs is being released in mostly 3-D based theaters, look for around a $9 million start. Hunger Games: Catching Fire will hit the $370 million domestic mark (passing Despicable Me 2 for the year's #2 spot), look for Thor: The Dark World to also break the $200 million domestic mark.
Those are Sensei's calls. Have a great weekend.

KENNEWICK - A Kennewick housekeeper was arrested Friday after trying to pawn a valuable ring from her 96-year-old employer, police said.
Kimberly Christine Summers, 18, was booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion of first-degree theft and first-degree trafficking of stolen property, said Kennewick police Detective Ryan Kelly.
Officers began investigating the case Monday after a Kennewick pawn shop owner reported Summers was trying to pawn a ring for $400 that he felt was worth about $10,000, police said.
Summers went to both Ace Jewelry and Loan and Ed and Moe's Pawn shop trying to sell the expensive ring, Kelly said.
Police were called after Summers gave conflicting stories about how she obtained the ring. The owner of the first pawn shop also alerted the owner of the second pawn shop after he watched Summers go inside the nearby store.
Summers reportedly told officers she found the ring in some old costume jewelry that she had as a child, police said.
Detectives took over the case and during the weeklong investigation they were able to identify Hazel Hamm, 96, as the owner of the ring, Kelly said.
Summers has been working as Hamm's housekeeper.
Hamm and her family did not know the ring Summers tried to pawn and a second ring were missing, Kelly said.

Summit notes and summary of actions
These notes are my personal 'out-takes' from the summit. They are not intended to be an accurate record of what was said, but are more key points that resonated and that feed into the next steps that were established. Theory versus practice Tim Coombs stated that when the discussion about academics and PR people is framed as 'theory versus practice' it is unhelpful. Indeed PR people often do very good research and sometimes it is better than academic research. 'Theory' must take more account of business reality. If it is metaphysical (or purely philosophical) where does that get us? Tim… Read more »

Orbital 2008 round-up #2
I never did get round to a second from-Eastercon piece, which is a shame, though with my laptop's comedy battery perhaps not such a surprise. Still, here I am back at home with a sort of follow-up piece. This is less of a summary of my own experiences – which were many and diverse and thus incompatible with my perfectionist, completive approach to anecdote and account – and more a few random notes and links elsewhere.
- People at science fiction conventions have diverse tastes. Much of this is wonderful, and some of it is scary: I heard one attendee admit to liking John Ringo. In public, no less! This terrifies me.
- Anecdotes are wonderful: whilst buying one of the few novels I picked up from the dealer's room (tight budget plus unread book stacks large enough to construct forts with), Frank Herbert's The Dosadi Experiment, the bookseller (whose name now escapes me) told me about how she had gone into her first Eastercon in search of the book. She found it, and also her husband, which is just wonderful.
- On the subject of buying books, I was very restrained. I picked up Paul Kincaid's What it is we do when we read Science Fiction – not the snappiest title but looks fascinating – alongside a volume titled The Undead and Philosophy. I later returned to pick up the BSFA Celebration anthology and the aforementioned Herbert novel, and on the Monday was given a review copy of Kim Lakin-Smith's Tourniquet. I also got a few copies of some anthology or another.
- Justin Pickard seems to have enjoyed his first encounter with fandom and conventions, and has excellent summaries of a few of Saturday's panels.
- I've now sold five copies of Illuminations. Admittedly the first was to fellow BSFA Orbiter scribe James Bloomer, and the next four were to family, but it's still pretty awesome.
- Lots of photos are popping up on Flickr. Sadly every single shot I took is of atrocious quality. Did anyone notice my hands shaking over the weekend? Perhaps I was suffering severe withdrawal symptoms, or early-onset Parkinson's Disease. Either that or I've just forgotten how to use that newfangled digital camera again. (Worst. Futurist. Ever.)
- The already-legendary Sex and the Singularity panel was easily a comic highlight of the weekend, with Charlie Stross' hippo / leech anecdote no doubt soon to emerge as one of those horrendous "gotcha" intarwub memes. Oh god, the thought of some sort of goatse photoshop just emerged. Going to scrub brain now.
- Justin and I have agreed that some sort of story must be written involving Mary Poppins and Sherlock Holmes uniting to do battle with the dreaded Hijabzilla! This is an injoke which may be funny if you were at Mieville's keynote speech and stayed for the Q&A. If not… well… just you wait.
- A few panels even got me to stick my hand up once or twice. I've found that at events involving fandom I revert to my old mode of a very shy individual who prefers to listen to others than pipe up himself (a side-effect of being surrounded by intelligent, often erudite, hard-working people who obviously care a lot about these subjects), but perhaps I'm becoming more comfortable in these settings. I suppose there's nothing like people being wrongheaded to bring you out of your shell (oh, but I'd just got cable in).
- Dear David and Laura: I'm sorry I was incompetent at actually having a copy of our book with me, and that I missed you from Sunday onward. It was a pleasure to meet you both and I hope to do so again.
- Dear Third Row: thank you for having me along for Friday Curry. Apologies for my failures at Being Social. You are intimidating people (see above), and also wonderful people, and I admire you quite a bit. I really don't mean to be rude.
- Please, someone scan in a copy of Lawrence Hale's Space Train. The polarities must be reversed.
- The panel on Lovecraft resulted in my, upon returning home, reading a baker's dozen of his shorter stories, and beginning to read Nick Mamatas' Move Under Ground, which I can confirm is really very good (so far).
- On the train home I read a punk zine (Next Stop Nowhere #1) to cleanse my mind a little. Half of it was taken up with a Black Cougar Shock Unit tour diary, and I am now very surprised that apparently slightly angry frontman Alex Ulloa didn't pull my arms off when JoN and I sang jokes about no one coming to see his band. Admittedly we were both drunk, and letting BCSU and Grabass Charlestons stay at our house, but he doesn't sound the forgiving type. BCSU split up right after that 2006 UK tour, and I feel rather sad that our poor job as hosts may have contributed to that in some small way.
- That reminds me: my efforts to locate the confluence between SF and punk continue finding incremental success. Turns out that Neil Beynon's other half, Gemma, has a brother who plays bass in No Choice. She was very surprised that I knew the band, which either says good things about my knowledge of The Scene or rather sad things about punk rock. Still, that was pretty awesome.
And now I must prepare to record a song with my still-unnamed band's lead guitarist, who hopefully will succeed in not deleting seven hours of hard, drunken work when rearranging partitions. Wink wink, it's fine really, these things happen.
Oh, and if we met at Eastercon, please leave a comment so I can investigate your blog/LJ/whatever if I haven't already, and if we didn't meet/speak and should have done, give me a good telling off and we can resolve to not do that again.

Plod and the Holiday Quest for a Silly but Utterly Cool Bag
I want you to now, I got distracted 73,110.5 times writing this post. I don't know what to tell you about that, but I wouldn't read anything into it, like maybe this post is, shall we say, not as interesting as it could be. Don't think that. Not until after you read it anyway.
So, here is the BIG PRIZE I TOTALLY WON after spending the better part of very late last night poking around at Plod.
It is an utterly silly shoulder bag, one of the truly most useless items one can own in SL. But the silliness and the detail and the style of it – I had to have.
Now I don't normally do hunts. Why? They are a pain in the ass. They take effort that normally I'd put into, oh, I don't know, changing socks or turning onto my other side while in lying in bed. In other words, I am lazy (and have a doctor's note to justify it) and would usually rather plunk down $L for something I want and NOT have to spend a bunch precious time and patience looking around for it. Especially the patience, because I have very little of that to spare. Plus I can't even find my damn car keys in my own purse. Finding stuff hidden around a sim? Not my idea of a good time.
So with that disclosure, you may be wondering how indeed I did get sucked into the holiday hunt at Plod. It started out innocently. I got a notice from the Boing Frommage group about Elka's new location at the Plod sim. Now, I own pretty much everything that Boing Frommage has put out, but I was curious to see the new spot so I went for a visit.
I just loved the look of this place. As I get back into content creation, I am in the middle of pondering different design styles in SL, because I am drawn to many different types. But in the end I am the biggest sucker for a good imaginary/storybook or comic book feel. Such as the one captured here:
This is the inside of a store called – uh oh – I hope I remembered it right – Kurotusubaki. Hoo. Those Japanese stores do NOT make things easy on us poor monolinguals. You can buy a few cute things here, like an animal hat with ears, a few poses, an animated rug. NONE of the cool stuff in this photo, mind you. But I'm blogging it for the build, not the merchandise. (Apologies Kurotsubaki, your merchandise is totally cute, but your build in Plod is what really got me.)
Plod has all the elements of an immersive storybook SL experience. And you know what? That stupid holiday hunt gave me the right "mission" to go exploring. Their products are really whimsical feeling, like the dirty bag I won with a lit miniature Xmas tree and a tiny animated squirrel hanging off of it. The builds are also well worth exploring, and some things you can buy and take with you like this treehouse:
So if you are into this kind of style, go take a look. And if you want the bag, be prepared to work for it. You will have to find yourself in some fairly weird places, such as the land of bigass squirrels:
I will say one thing. The people behind Plod are waaaaay into squirrels. I don't know what that says about them, but don't be alarmed if you find yourself here staring at a hungry looking bushy-tailed rat that's 12 times the size of your avatar.
As for hints? I won't give away too much, but I will tell you that you can find two of the elusive snowmen that you must collect (ten in all) in the last two photos. They are small and only count once. You won't find any in any stores that are not Plod (another hint!)
So while I normally hate holiday hunts (though I appreciate the creators who work so hard to put the stuff together and make the event happen – kudos to all of you, and it is great marketing, as I did manage to spend a decent amount of $L whilst hunting last night), I have to tell you I had fun. It got me talking to strangers again, something I haven't done in SL in a long time and seriously one of the more entertaining things to do there.
And the bag! It's like so cute!No comments
New to me – Heart Garden Center
See, I'd bought this very very cute (sorry, Kyoot) hat/hair combo and was wearing my Artilleri coat from last winter, totally edited to fit my big ass belly, and really wanted a spot to do winter pics.
Wandering around, I stumbled to the Heart Garden Center. That link takes you directly to the winter area, where they have adorable lit up trees and things, including Christmas trees, all at totally reasonable prices. If you're looking to do any outdoor winter scenes, they've got snow mounds and stuff like that too. I always went straight to Botanic for any tree/outdoorsy related items, and I still love that place, but this place is definitely worth a romp.
And romp I did. I was thinking this would be a perfect spot to create a holiday greeting of sorts. If you'd like my pinkified take on this scene, just go there and use a midday setting with a sailor's delight sky in windlight settings.
That is all.No comments
The ass problem
Hey everybody. As I've been bitching and moaning about all week, I am indeed sick again, this time with my old friend influenza. It's been awhile. I haven't missed her. At all.
But that's not what I'm here to talk about today. I wanted to ask you all if you're having this problem with some of your favorite prim skirts. I am, of course, talking about the ass problem.
Some things are not a matter of adjustment. See, I was all excited as I bought this cute red dress from Artilleri for Valentine's day. Butt what you see is that the texture on my ass is actually a bit darker than the texture on the prim. I thought it was a windlight problem, as I noticed when I use windlight this happens all the time in skirts. Butt even when I adjust the prim skirt for better coverage (in this photo the skirt is rezzed right from the folder, no adjusting), there's still a hideous difference in the colors. It's like majorly disappointing. Especially since it seems like all my Artilleri skirts look like this now in windlight. Is it me? Is there some setting I should check out that's ass friendly in windlight.
Today I was briefly in Dazzle, and I encountered this ass:
I mean that's a really bad looking ass in skirt. The style of this ensemble is babydoll, meaning the waist of the skirt is supposed to be high as it is. But man, this chick has waaaaayyy too much ass for this dress. Sadly the texture on the ass isn't rezzed, but trust me when I say even fully rezzed it looked horrible. I am not sure how she went out looking like that, unless she didn't look at her ass. But who could not look at a wreck like that?
I am seriously no fashion expert. Can anyone help me out here?
I do not want to have to adjust my shape for every skirt, but maybe that's what it takes. What do you do, you fashion mavens out there? How do you manage to wear these cute little numbers without showing your ass?
This is likely the last post from me until next week, because if we can manage it we're going out of town to that place that has satellite internet (and isn't at all SL friendly).
Don't forget to hit -=CLOCKWORK= tomorrow night for Esteban's funk set, Sunday night for Xax's IDM electronica goodness, and then Monday night again for Esteban's anti-Monday punk and stuff.
And – don't get sick!

Free skin again!
Okay, plenty of bad news about skin theft this week. You were all over it, I know. So, how'd you like some good news about a free skin gift instead?
Remember our tour of free skins from January? Well there's more on tour! This here is the latest freebie from Tuli, and wow. I just love it! She's releasing her S5 series and gave the skin in several tones with nude make-up to the update group. This here is the pale version.
To get it, join Tuli's group (search Tuli) and look under notices. And don't be a dope – go to Tuli's shop in Le Zoo and do some damned patronizing! Girl's gotta buy software and stuff if we want her to keep making us pretty things, right?No comments
He was happy to see me.
Did I tell you I like to make shapes? This is the back of one I made called "Heart of Hearts" which I think I'm gonna give away in the new store I opened with Rain Laval in the Mainline Shopping district, (which is located across from Clockwork (SLURL).)
Here's the face:
And here's the front:
The shape isn't set out yet. I'll give a holler when it is. And by the way, that's the free Chai Skin I'm wearing, in Cinnamon skin tone. The skin is even better looking in-world.
Hair is from ETD, lingerie is from Nymphetamine.
I'm having an off damn day! Bleeeehhhhck!

Tour of Free Skins (and how to get them)
 I'm not complaining, but can someone please tell me what the hell is going on with all the free skin? God, if only this stuff had been around when I was new!
I have always been a one-skin kind of girl. For the longest time all I wore was a Celestial Studios Vogue skin – still my favorite skin to date, honestly. Then I branched out and bought a Jessica skin by Cake, which I also still love dearly and wear a lot. I was so satisfied with my meager skin collection, I really wasn't much of a skin shopper. Until now.
See, I started looking for freebies for Myg Morrisey, and holy crap! There was an avalanche before the holidays of really good free skin! So I started trying on a whole ton of different skins and then lo and behold, I had to have more. Score one for the SL designers, particularly Tuli, Chai and Dutch Touch who all got a nice chunkachange from me after I wore their freebies around and had to have more makeups.
Now I'll tell you, dear M is for Myg fans, how to get my favorites of the free bunch for yourself.
The first skin here is a Re skin by the soon-to-be-SL-sainted Eloh Eliot. This woman went and released an entire line of skins, (Another Skin) (including a black skin) and it looks like a male skin will be released for free too. But get this – they were released with full perms and access to the photoshop files! Basically, she made a fully open source skin, and as far as I know, that's a fashion first. Get the skin below by teleporting to Another Shop in Lippert: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lippert/75/183/179
Next up is a Chai skin. I am still salivating, and smartness, I'm not a huge bright red lips fan so I couldn't stop myself from buying more Chai. This is my fave fave of teh freebies. You get this one by going to Le Zoo and picking up the latest issue of Second Style. This skin is Ginger, Vedette Freckle (you know I love freckles, right?) The eyes kill me on this skin. I just loves them.
Get thee to CHAI Skins -treat yourself! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Freelon/127/85/30 (single skins $1200L, threepack for 3000.)
Next up is a Tuli. Below I'm wearing the Tuli S4F Cream with Brown Brows (and of course, with freckles!) Join the Tuli group before 1/22/08 to get the free holiday gift, which includes the entire skin tone range with this make-up.
 Tuli makes great freckles, for all you freckle fans. Hers are my favorite, so much so I ended up buying a fat pack. Grab the freebie, and check out Tuli's shop at Le Zoo: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Le%20Zoo/130/143/22
How psyched was I when one of my favorite designers of clothes got into the skin game? Well, totally of course! The next skin here is by Dutch Touch. If you join the group before 1/13/08, you can check the group notices to get it.
 I had to have more of this skin line, and you probably will too – so here's the SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Willow%20Beach/31/224/33
Last on the list is the Minnu Model Skin (MMSkins). Below is MMSPale 2008. To get it, join the MM Skins group before 1/22/08 and check the notices tab.
My god did they include a sweet guy skin! You can see Burgess wearing it here. (But please be warned, that photo was seriously touched up so the color is not accurate at all…) Stop by MMSkins to see their other stuff too.
So, I do not know the reason so many designers are releasing free high quality skin, but I do want to say I'm all for it. Help them keep doing it buy sending some of your support (aka your Lindens) their way!17 comments
Beauty is not skin deep
Some say the learning curve may just be too steep for Second Life to become a truly widespread platform like some of those other virtual worlds. It takes newcomers too long to learn how to move, where to go for fun, how to get laid. In a time when people fantasize about violent acts when waiting for red lights on the highway (well, at least I do) is it little wonder that we lose a lot of potential avies before the hook firmly sets?
There is one thing, however, that Linden Lab could do that would help newcomers retain interest in our world here. They could stop making us look like this upon arrival:
I mean, Jesus. Who in god's name thought that brown diarrhea hair with fangs would be an acceptable representation of human hair?
The truth is, a lot of people get sold on the Second Life experience purely for social reasons at first. In this case our avatars become this opportunity to express our aesthetics, our style, and the things we like, through graphics.
In 2008, is there really any god damned reason that Linden can't provide better looking basic avatars for folks?
Maybe there are a lot of folks who don't enjoy dressing their pixel doll nearly as much as I do. But take one look at the fashion industry in Second Life – the biggest industry there is in the platform – and then tell me that people don't enjoy making their electronic representation of themselves look hawt.
So you'd think that if the fine folk over at teh Linden Lab wanted to make things easier on newcomers, they might let us start out looking a little more like this:
That's Myg Morrisey, aka me, wearing all free stuff.
I now hereby make a plea to Linden Lab to solicit (and PAY) some of SL's top designers to create skin and hair for the basic birth avatars so that new comers may be a little more excited about the possibility of logging in repeatedly.
But, until Linden can figure out that they should give the basic avatars skin that doesn't make you retch and hair that isn't less attractive than a rorshach blot, we here at M is for Myg want to help the new folk out.
So if you're new and broke, you can pick these things up for free (or maybe 1L I think for the hair)
I'm wearing one of the great free skins from another shop (Le, brow1, freckles, wrath). Head over to
Another Shop: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lippert/75/183/179 for yours (Sorry guys, I'm not sure if there's a male skin there or not…)
I am sporting a free hair from Candy House: Uemechi, Uemechi: http://slurl.com/secondlife/uemachi/62/175/30
and free eyes from MM Skins. MM Skins is also giving away kick ass skin for males and females if you join the group. Search MM SKIN and join. Then look under the notices tab for notices with boxes next to them on 12/19 and 12/23. Unpack and enjoy.
Oh there's loads more free stuff where this came from. More on that next time!12 comments

Glass of Liquid in Vray
I've been battling this for a while now and seems i cant get it right..
How do you render a glass of colored liquid in Vray?! (actually a parfume bottle in this case)
the liquid material?: Refraction Fog color? or Volumetric Fog in the Shading Group's Volume tab?
What render settings do you use? secondary Brute Force or Light Cache?
I KEEEEP getting black edges / spots nomatter how high my refraction depth is.. and one time i got it to look "okay" but then when i rendered my sequence I got a ton of artifact pops on multiple frames..
Lighting - im using a Studio HDR map that doesnt actually have any solid blacks in it, so the black spots shouldnt be caused from Refraction catching black scene space?
Lastly - do you make the liquid part as a separate object or just add a separate shader to the inside of the container geometry?
would LOVE some advice on this subject ... maybe even a tutorial cos learly - im missing something lol.
Seems i only have this issue when im trying to Layer refractive objects..

Ritz Carlton
Ritz Carlton
Address: 455 Grand Bay Dr.
Phone: 305-365-4500
Web Address: http://www.ritzcarlton.com/Key-Biscayne
Minutes from Miami by car, but light years away in temperament, Key Biscayne is a delightful low key island tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. The island is probably best known as the Southern White House during the Nixon administration, but today it is home to the stunning Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami a luxury hotel ideally suited to vacation escapes for both couples and families. When the weather has beaten you down, this virtually self-contained resort will revive your spirits.
Guest rooms are a generous 420 sq. ft and offer full or partial balconies. Island and ocean view rooms are options. The furniture is custom designed and the rooms decorated with a tropical theme. The beds are draped in luxury, butter soft Frette linens and marble baths feature mother of pearl wall coverings, Asprey toiletries and a separate shower and tub.
Before or after dinner, don't miss a stop at the Havana themed, Dining options include an oceanfront and open air Mexican restaurant, Cantina Beach and Cioppino, featuring authentic Tuscan cuisine. I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Cioppino with an Arancini con Mozzarella, Sicilian rice croquettes with Buffalo mozzarella and Arrabiata sauce and Pesce Spada, fresh grilled swordfish, Sicilian caponata, pine nuts and raisins. Paired with a delicious Brunello, available by the glass, it was an exceptional meal.
Dune Oceanfront Burger Lounge is an open air, oceanfront bar with great cocktails and a casual menu. Had one of the best turkey burgers ever with excellent crispy fries. The recently opened key Pantry; Eat Drink and Shop is part coffee shop and part kitchen shop. Ideal for a quick, casual breakfast or coffee in the morning.
There is 1,200 square feet of sandy beach, two pools (including an adults only), a Forbes Four Star 20,000 square foot spa with 21 treatment rooms and over 60 treatments, the largest tennis center of any Ritz Carlton with 10 soft clay and one hard court and a complete fitness center. Water sports are offered on property and what they do not have (boats and jet skis) can be arranged on the island by the concierge. The Ritz Kids program will keep the little ones busy all day.
Ritz Carlton service is legendary and Key Biscayne is no exception. Staff members are particularly attentive without hovering. How they remember your name after meeting only briefly is amazing to me.

Mitsubishi announced last week that the 2015 Outlander Sport, one of its most popular crossovers, will have a new engine option: that of a 2.4-liter in-line four-cylinder engine that produces up to 168 horsepower.
This engine is the same model that's currently available in Mitsubishi's Lancer sedan, so although the automaker hasn't released the official specs on the engine for the Outlander, we can assume that it will likely work the same way.
The new engine will be available for two 2015 Outlander Spot models, the ES and GT, which are being priced at $22,145 and $24,445 respectively. Not a bad price at all for these top-of-the-line crossovers, a staple in Mitsubishi's catalog.
Plus, various luxury packages are available for the new models, including the GT Premium Package and the GT Touring Package, in addition to the new Outlander engine option.
Looking forward to the latest and greatest Mitsubishi Outlander models? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Okay, it's another money grab.
Major league teams will wear nicknames, rather than surnames, on the backs of their uniforms the last weekend of this month.
Even the Yankees and Giants, two of those who disdain player names on home jerseys, will be participating.
Players had to submit nicknames for approval but not all of them got past the censors.
Surprise, surprise.
With salaries rising beyond the stratosphere, Major League Baseball, the Players Association, and their equipment suppliers have been searching for ways to bolster revenues.
Teams wore green for St. Patrick's Day, pink for Mother's Day, baby blue for Father's Day, camouflage for Memorial Day, and variations of red, white, and blue for July 4.
It's a good thing baseball doesn't play on Groundhog Day.
Just as teams sell printed "media" guides to the general public, so they will sell these zany, one-of-a-kind uniforms.
At least it's better than placing advertising on shirt-sleeves, as teams and leagues allow in other countries.
Weekend notebook:
The fate of the American League East title chase could be decided over the next 23 days, when the front-running Boston Red Sox play their arch-rival New York Yankees 10 times . . .
Hall of Fame pitcher-turned-broadcaster John Smoltz said on BRAVES BANTER Thursday night that he believes former teammate Andruw Jones is a viable Cooperstown candidate . . .
Kudos to Ryan Zimmerman, now the career home run leader for the Washington Nationals franchise that began as the Montreal Expos in 1969 . . .
Home Run Derby participants Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez, previously anchors of the Yankee lineup, have been pitiful at the plate since that event . . .
Although the Mets marvel at the offense and defense of rookie first baseman Dominic Smith, they are privately worried about his weight . . .
Another rookie, Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers, has not only filled a black hole in the Boston infield but played the position as well as anyone in Fenway since Frank Malzone . . .
With aces Dallas Keuchel and Lance McCullers Jr. struggling, the Houston Astros can still coast to the AL West finish line but won't survive the playoffs without more pitching . . .
Say what? Two good games in a row for rotund Bartolo Colon now that he's with Minnesota . . .
Now that he's 14-1 with the Dodgers, do you think the Braves regret trading young lefty Alex Wood? . . .
Vaunted Atlanta rookies Dansby Swanson and Ozzie Albies, projected as the team's DP tandem of the future, are both struggling mightily in the present . . .
Who knew Drew Pomerantz would mean so much to the Red Sox pitching staff? . . .
Batting Jose Bautista first suggests that Toronto followed the example of Minnesota in putting a former cleanup man (Brian Dozier) in the leadoff spot . . .
The Mets have gone the other way, shunting slugging leadoff man Michael Conforto into the fourth spot . . .
How could Atlanta be 2-13 against the pathetic Phillies but over .500 against the rest of the National League? . . .
The Yankees tried to pry Jay Bruce and Neil Walker from the Mets but didn't offer the right package of prospects . . .
With the Cards and Brewers both breathing down their necks, the Cubs could ill afford to lose catcher Willson Contreras to the hamstring injury that will keep him out for four weeks . . .
Boston's airtight bullpen was a big reason the team took an eight-game winning streak into Friday's game against the Yankees.

Khloe Kardashian may have been inspired by Kim Kardashian's all-white wedding style while traveling from Europe to New York City after the whirlwind nuptials.
Kardashian was photographed wearing white jeans, a white tank top, a white jacket and white pumps as she made her way through JFK International Airport on Monday, May 26. The 29-year-old touched down in NYC after the lavish Kimye wedding in Florence, Italy.
The rest of the reality family -- including Kris, Bruce, Kendall, Kylie and baby Nori -- flew non-stop from Paris to Los Angeles, according to TMZ.

After consulting local bookstores such as Kinokuniya and Borders, and being told that the book is out of stock, I have decided to just go ahead and buy the Kindle edition from Amazon.com. I've also explored the possibility of buying used from my usual online booksellers, but no such luck because it's either too expensive or they don't carry the title. I could certainly borrow from the College library or read it there, but I'm a person who likes to doodle stuff and jot down thoughts, so that would not be so nice and kind to the book, which is a property of the library.
(I only "deface" my non-fiction or reference books; it's interesting to see, a few years down the road, the stuff and thoughts you've had back then... You know, the way your thinking has progressed or regressed...)
I've been researching this book for a more than two weeks now, and convinced that the Scholarvox e-Library may not be functioning at all, I decided that I've waited long enough. I've looked at the contents of this book (Amazon's "Look Inside" function is my favorite online browsing weapon) and having reviewed its list of contents, introduction, and part of the first chapter, I felt Making Sense of Change Management is a book worth keeping in my personal (digital) library. I'm also a book collector (or hoarder), so this is a perfect exercise for me. One more book for the collection!

World-renowned business coach Tony Robbins came to the rescue of the two French nuns who faced eviction after their landlord reportedly doubled the rent of the little San Francisco soup kitchen they were renting with proceeds from the sale of their handmade pastries.
"No more crying for us no more?" Sister Mary Valerie of the Nuns Fraternite Notre Dame Mary of Nazareth Soup Kitchen said in her thick French accent, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "No more crying no more," Robbins assured them during a secret Friday meeting that ended with him handing them a check for $25,000 to cover the costs of their rent for the year.
Their rent in the Tenderloin district had been upped in January by nearly 60 percent, from $3,465 to $5,500 a month–a testament to the Bay Area's rising real estate prices, resulting from high demand coupled with low availability.
In addition to the $25,000 Robbins gave the sisters this week, he is giving them another $25,000 within the next year, which he urged them to use to move to another location. He is reportedly also helping them with a business model so they can maximize profits from the sales of their handmade pastries, including enlisting the help of several of his high-powered San Francisco friends.
For Robbins, the nuns' story touched on a personal note. He was poor as a child and homeless as a teenager.
Thousands have reportedly sent donations to the soup kitchen. The Chronicle notes that one woman, Marilyn Richardson, president of the San Ramon-based Mason-McDuffie Mortgage Corp. set up a GoFundMe page on Wednesday. It has so far raised more than $12,000 of the $25,000 goal.
Robbins is also involved in Feeding America and has reportedly vowed to give the proceeds of his new book to the organization, known for its "100 Million Meals Challenge."

I have been using the PSTK4.1.0, the title of the error came out.
The error did not come out when I was using the PSTK4.0.0.
(During the execution of the New-NcVserver.)
Why get an error in the new Version?
After POST an error, there is only waiting for a correction?
Solved! SEE THE SOLUTION
PSTK 4.1 has no changes with respect to Data ONTAP. It is same as PSTK 4.0. So ideally it should not give any error.
I tried using the New-NcVserver cmdlet, and it created the vServer successfully.
The problem here probably might be a timeout issue.
If you could give more description on the entire cmd what you ran, it would be helpful.

Thank you for confirmation.
Because that happened in the customer's environment, I'll try to see if Nowak the log at the time of reproduction.

A Missouri appeals court ruled Friday that the Archdiocese of St. Louis did not have to release the names of priests accused of sexual abuse in the past 20 years as part of a lawsuit against the archdiocese.
A St. Louis judge had given the archdiocese a Friday deadline to turn over the names to a woman who sued, saying she was molested by a priest as a child, and to the woman's attorney. Otherwise, the names were to be kept under seal.
The Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals ruling did not say if release of the names eventually would be required.
The archdiocese's appeal included a list of 115 complaints made against archdiocese employees since 1986. The accusers and employees are not identified by name, and it wasn't known how many of the accused were priests.
The woman, who was 19 when the lawsuit was filed in 2011, claimed abuse by a priest began when she was 5 years old and attended St. Cronan's parish in the city. The priest, who was later defrocked, had been convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old boy at a parish in University City decades earlier. He received treatment and was reassigned to St. Cronan's.
The lawsuit alleges a pattern of covering up abuse claims.
"We're disappointed that the archdiocese chose to continue to fight to keep all this information secret," said the woman's attorney, Kenneth M. Chackes.
Messages to the archdiocese were not returned.

Speaker: Dr. Sanjeev P. Maradur. Materials Science Division, PPISR
Abstract: Dendrimers are a class of highly branched, multivalent and monodisperse polymers, which have received continuous interest in recent years because of the global demand for new nanomolecules that are useful in advanced technology and medicine. While dendrimers are advantageous for many highly specialized applications, but the high polyvalency of higher-generation dendrimers requires, well-controlled, tailored regioselective chemical engineering. The structural evolution of dendrimers - from simple, monofunctional molecules to the more complex, multifunctional compounds - is inextricably associated with a continuous improvement in traditional synthetic strategies, as well as the development of new synthetic tools. In this seminar, a general introduction to the subject, synthetic stratergies and few applications will be discussed.

How Low Can You Go?
Café Menu for Monday, November 3, 2014
Today's Special is: The Humility Limbo
Carefully prepared just for you by your friend, Jill Beran
Main Ingredient:
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross.
Philippians 2:8 NIV
Growing up, roller skating was our Friday night activity and the limbo was my favorite game. I always enjoyed the challenge of staying up on my skates while going under the lowering bamboo stick. Back then the limbo was something I was good at and the phrase, "How low can you go?" was one I enjoyed.
Awhile ago our pastor preached through Philippians and I found myself thinking about the old familiar phrase once again. Only this time thoughts didn't revolve around a game and the prize is so much more than a candy bar. Friends, I'm talking about the Humility Limbo!
This isn't something we should attempt to succeed at once a week, but like Jesus, it must become a way of life. He is the epitome of humility… one who gave up everything - His wants, plans and desires to do God's will. He came from the highest place to die the lowest death. And because He went low, God raised Him up. (Philippians 2:9)
Humility is an amazing part of Christ's character and it's something we as Christians are often commanded, and encouraged, to display. For instance -
Finally, all of you live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
1 Peter 3:8 ISV
Do not act out of selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility think of others as being better than yourselves.
Philippians 2:3 ISV
For by the grace given me I say to everyone of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
Romans 12:3 NIV
Friends, Jesus won the Humility Limbo, but He would love for us to join Him on the medal stand. So let me ask you, "How low can you go?"
Take Out:
In your words define humility. As you think about the definition, look at your life and evaluate how well you display it. And then pray about how you can make yourself go lower.
Remember Christ humbled Himself to the point of death; may you be encouraged to humble yourself to the place that brings God glory.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the example Jesus sets for all of us. His humility not only saves me, but paints a picture of what I need to do. Help me lower myself, let go of my plans and live in humility. You know humble living is hard, but You've equipped me to do the work You've called me to. Help me understand humility more and live it better. In Jesus' Name, Amen
For more encouragement, visit Jill at Titus24U, where you will be encouraged to connect with God and other women.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Wins 2014 Daytona 500
Published By: Tara ClemFebruary 24, 2014
Major drama ensued during the 2014 Daytona 500, and weather was a major forced to be reckoned with. A six hour rain delays brought the 500 to a rocky start, and the event was restarted under the caution flag. Even treacherous tornado warnings forced the grandstands to evacuate. A late multi-car wreck set up a shootout finish for the Daytona 500 on Sunday night. In a thrilling finish, Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins the 2014 Daytona 500 in a shootout, holding off Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski.
This was a much needed victory for Earnhardt Jr, a decade after his other Daytona 500 victory and after a losing streak that dates to Michigan in the summer of 2012.
"I'll never take this for granted man," Earnhardt Jr. said. "We're in the Chase. We don't have to worry about that!"
In an unfortunate turn of events, Danica Patrick was taken away in an ambulance and sustained minor injuries after a brutal 13-car crash involving Michael Waltrip and several other drivers occurred on lap 146.
The crash began in turn four when the cars of Kevin Harvick and Brian Scott, who were dead in the middle of a pack, made contact. Their contact pushed Scott into Aric Almirola's Ford, which sliced across the middle of the track and hit Danica Patrick's Chevrolet. Patrick lost control and slammed hard into the outside wall as sliding cars spun down the frontstretch and onto the wet grass adjacent to the racing surface.
The crash resulted in the race's third caution, the first since the event resumed after a six-hour rain delay.
Others involved in the wreck were Parker Kligerman, Paul Menard, Austin Dillon, David Gilliland, Kasey Kahne, Marcos Ambrose, Justin Allgaier, Josh Wise, Michael Waltrip.
The cleanup from the wreck left only a few laps left to decide the winner.
And then in classic Daytona thrilling history and shootout style, Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins 2014 Daytona 500
