Do or don't: Guys with beards
Today Alex wrote an article about what it feels like for a guy to have a beard. It was funny to hear a man's perspective! Read it here, if you'd like.
P.S. Before and after.
441 comments:
My old boyfriend (I hate to say ex) realized he could grow an amazing beard when we were in college and proceeded to do so. Something about it made me absolutely swoon! Kissing him with the beard was thrilling.
The other great part about beards is that when the guy shaves it off, suddenly you have a brand new face to fall for all over again - it's wonderful cycle, in my opinion!
Question though: have you realized how many guys have red beards when their hair is nowhere that color?
-KateMy husband has a beard and I think it's the sexiest frickin' thing. Fortunately, so does he. =) And yes, @In A Certain Fashion, he has a bunch of super-red hair in his beard but the hair on his head is almost black. So strange.
Alex looks great with his beard, Miss Jo. It looks like it belongs on him.i really encourage my hubster to grow a beard (which he's had for many years now...)
i mean, to each their own... but for my guy it works. it toughens up his baby face... and i like it. :)
and yes kate, its funny when a guy has a red beard. my sister's boyfriend has that... its fun!
thanks so much,
JessiLove this post! I definitely like guys with beards. Daniel, my husband, usually has one. I think he looks great with it. I like Alex with a beard, too!
ReplyDeleteMy husband has always had a goatee, but this fall he started to grow out a real, HUGE beard. I wasn't the biggest fan - I like the debonair trimmed beard a la Alex a little better. But he felt so manly, it was fun.
he's back to a trimmed beard, and I will never let him go facial hair-less again!I remember in the 1980s my father grew a beard for a little while and my mother didn't like it. I encouraged it and thought my dad looked very handsome.
Today, I feel the same way - I love a guy with a beard. Now my boyfriend rocks it (don't read too much into that Freud). Every now and again I wonder what it would be like for him to convert back and shave his face, but he looks very mature and sexy with the facial hair that I'd always want him to grow it back.When I met my husband he had a beard; it was really weird when he first shaved it off and suddenly I didn't know his face.
But my favorite is when he lets the scruff grow out enough to be soft, but not a full-on beard (which is pretty much every Sunday after a weekend of not shaving). so sexy.
My father always had a beard, (never seen him without it) and I'm curious whether anyone thinks this factors into the preference?
And yes, Kate, oddly his beard was mostly reddish and his hair is not.I love the beards! Hands down....love it! I guess its lately been a trend but its just another form of masculinity that really turns this girl on! I wish more men would embrace it and more workplaces would be more accepting of it.
Why is it women can have god awful horrible hair and no one can say anything but if a man has a beard its unacceptable? hmmm? lol just sayin'
But hope guys keep it goin!!!!A kiss is not a kiss without a mustache (and a beard).
I've been with my husband for nearly 5 years, and have only seen him shaven once, for his birthday last year he shaved himself a mustache. But quickly grew it back because he thought everyone was staring at him. haha! I have to say I prefer his soft facial hair :) it's very becoming on him.- Anonymous2:20 PM
I absolutely always prefer a guy with a beard (if you can pull it off). I've been trying to convince one of my friends to stop shaving so he can grow one. I don't really know what it is about a beard; maybe it is that rugged allure, but give me a guy with a Robin Pecknold beard anyday and I'll be happy.
ReplyDelete - Panda Bear2:21 PM
Beards = hot! My husband grew one shortly after we started dating and that was what hooked me! For a change, he shaved it into a goatee for New Years Eve and I almost cried.
I'm not sure if it's the ruggedness, the sex appeal, the furriness, the low maintenance attitude that goes with it, or the hint of red that resides in my husbands beard, but they are best male face accessory by far! My live-in boyfriend has had a beard since he graduated high school fifteen years ago. I've never seen him without one, and I don't want to! I don't know that I love a beard on every guy (not all beards are equal, some guys just can't grow facial hair like others can), but I love it on him. I've even jokingly threatened to ask him to move out if he shaves it, because I love it that much. He promises he won't. After fifteen years of having a wicked thick beard we're both sure he'd have a very obvious beard tan-line under there.
ReplyDeleteBeards are a big YES. Mustaches are a no. Except my dad, he can have a mustache. Mainly because he's had it my whole life and I wouldn't know him without it. And he looks exactly like Omar Sharif so he pulls it off.
My husband grew a beard out of necessity when he had eye surgery and it was pretty hot I must say. And I am a big fan of what I call "weekend scruff". Not shaving means by Sunday night he has that super hot Bradley Cooper-esque scruffy face happening. LOVE it.Funny, when my husband (then boyfriend) came back from studying in South Africa senior year of college, he had a beard, which he'd grown out of laziness. I thought he looked like Ernest Hemingway, tanned and rugged, and I wouldn't let him shave it. Ten years later, he's only shaved it off once, during law school for firm interviews. He looked like an alien. Much prefer the beard.
ReplyDeleteoh a definite DO! I have always prefered my guys to have a bit of scruff. i am such a sucker for a goatee! my husband had a goatee at first but it eventually grew into a full beard. i love it! esp when the lil soul patch part grows long enough to twirl into a small point, haha! what's funny though is that i've never seen my husband without facial hair! once he randomly told me he has a dimple in his chin and i never knew this! i might have to ask him to shave just so i can see it, haha. lucky me he can grow his beard back superfast ;)
ReplyDeleteyes for beards!
got my boyfriend (soon to be husband now) to grow one about 4 years ago now and i absolutely love it. he had to shave it off a little over a year ago for work (something about fitting a stupid respirator mask at the hospital) and it was so weird to see him without it! luckily he quickly grew it back and its here to stay ;)
ohjustjess.blogspot.comJoanna I completely agree with you - a beard is super-sexy! It took me turning 30 to realize it, but the scruffy, manly man is what turns my head these days.
Alex's article was fantastic. Please tell him that grey hairs in his beard will take him from looking like he is part of the 20's "tribe" into being "old sexy" like Clooney (i.e., it's a good thing). And he should not compare himself to Brad Pitt-greybeard, since that is a man that actually does NOT look good with a beard!I like beards. My husband looks really great with one- better than most, if I may say so myself. He is clean shaven right now because it is summer. Once fall hits, he will start growing a beard and keep it throughout the winter. I like having him one way for half the year and another way for the other half.
ReplyDelete- Anonymous2:49 PM
how come there are girls who dont love a beard? Men cant be real men without it! They would look just like little unprotected kids :P
My boyfriend was really relieved when I old you I loved his beard, he used to shave and it provoked a big allergy... Unfortunately now he is working in a firm where he is supposed to be always shaved... what a shame! My dad has had a mustache for my entire life, so I would be disconcerted by that-- BUT. My husband grew a beard last fall/winter, claiming that it "kept his face warm" during our California winter, and I LOVED it. Despite (or maybe even a little because of?) a general outcry from my mother-in-law, I'm hoping this becomes an annual tradition.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend grows his beard out every winter (a throwback to when he biked to work everyday - built-in balaclava!) and I love it. I think part of what's fun is the seasonal transition. He has a babyface once spring hits and the weather warms up, then this cozy beard all winter that makes him seem almost jolly (though not white-haired or round-faced like Santa). I also like him with several days' worth of scruff. I only don't like facial hair when it's at the slightly grown out and very rough/sharp phase - no one likes beard rash from kissing their honey!
ReplyDeleteI love a nice full beard that is trimmed to still show the cheekbones and jawline of a man. My husband (eight years older than I am) has a beard. In fact, I have never seen him fully shaved! He used to trim really close when we met instead of shaving because it irritated his skin. I don't mind a full beard so he grew it out and never looked back.
He looks Middle Eastern naturally, though he's not. He has dark curly hair, deep set eyes, and very olive skin. He has a striking resemblance to Jesus, and gets told this daily usually by young people. And older people tell him he looks like Moses. Its a funny thing to guess which bible character someone is going to say when they start with "you look just like...". He gets told that he looks like just about any person that ever had a beard. (he has gotten charles manson too!).
Most male's that we meet take a liking to him immediately.I think part of it is admiration for his beard because it is full and dark in color. I think it is a trademark of his. He is a very gentle-natured man, that works both in law and art, but is also very rugged and plays sports. He will love reading Alex's article.I just sent Alex's article to my husband, who has just grown a beard again— his first since he was 22, living in a rustic cabin with little but some books, lanterns, a woodburning stove and a hotplate in northern California. I think he's being reminded of that time now, suddenly seeing this scruff on his face for the first time in years.
For my part, I like it!I'm actually not a huge fan of beards. I don't mind a little scruff, but I prefer clean-shaven over a beard any day.
My boyfriend is Asian and I really don't think beards work on most Asian guys (my bf included). Now, Irishmen...they're more apt to actually pulling off a decent looking beard.- Allison3:15 PM
I appreciate a guy who is a beard man and knows it and acts accordingly. Jeff Bridges up there is a beard man. Jake Gyllenhall, I would say, is not. Beard men can look good beardless and non-beard men can look good with a beard, but there is always a way that they look best. Some few men look spectacular either way (Jon Hamm) but most men look better either with or without. My advice to men is to find out who you are and act accordingly.
You, my dear, are married to a beard man. He wears it very well. My boyfriend goes back and forth--he'll be clean-faced one day, have a beard the next week, and he even had just a mustache for about a week (which strangely grew on me after a couple days). I like it all! But my favorite is when he doesn't shave for about 4 days and has just a light scruff. It's so handsome :)
xoxo Charity | somedreamingtree.blogspot.comCongrats to Alex on the article. Quite a nice writing style. I never realized that he was so much older than you. My husband is 8 years older than I am. For an upcoming Motherhood Monday, perhaps you could explore how the age difference factors into parenting, your decision about when to have children, and worries about "when Toby is this old, you'll be this old." These are things I think about a lot. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend will more often than not sport a beard and it looks really great on him. We're in a long distance relationship so sometimes we go weeks without seeing each other. One particularly long stint he decided to grow it out and insisted on shaving it only after I got to see it. So, he flew to New York and this was the result (third picture down): http://currently-coveting.blogspot.com/2011/04/partners-in-crime.html
He shaved it and immediately after doing so he told me that his face looked too skinny without the very large beard. It had gotten to the point where the only people who complimented him were other dudes. I found that hilarious.My husband has been sporting a beard for years now, because I insist on it! He never really wore one before but I am just so much more attracted to him with one than without (although I do still love him without). He gets compliments on it all the time, too, because it's so thick and the hairs grow down instead of out. One time at a pumpkin patch, the guy working said his beard was "majestic", I kid you not :)
ReplyDeleteI have a theory that beard-loving skips a generation. For example, my maternal grandfather did not have a beard and my mom married a guy with a beard. My dad (ya know, the guy my mom married) had a beard while I was growing up, so I tend to be more attracted to guys sans beard.
Just a theory though...I LOVE beards! I asked my husband to grow one while we were still dating and his argument was that growing one out would make him look dirty. But I convinced him and he loved how low maintenance it is to have one that he's had one for over three years. People asked him if he was going to shave it for our wedding, but I wouldn't let him. :)
No mustaches, though...unless it's my dad.

Is software piracy a problem for you?
Posted 17 October 2012 - 02:52 AM
I work for a company called Quadisys, we're a startup. What we have basically is a new kind of copy protection technology.
I read a blog where an indie developer claims that 95% of copies of his game were stolen/pirated! I guess we can help you with that. We will be happy to help you and to spread our technology.
Now you probably ask how come we have something different, there's been tens of companies which claimed the same, right?
I'm not sure if it makes sense to post all technical details on how it works, so only briefly.
Basic features:
- Windows only, both 32-bit and 64-bit
- no java, .net, flash, web stuff
- one time internet activation (user enters a serial number, receives protected file(s) from our server)
- we don't need your source code, only the final build (exe, dll, ...)
- if somebody breaks the protection, all the other (present and future) products wont get automatically crackable! It's something as AES/RSA and similar stuff -- if you break one password with brute force, it doesn't mean you can read everyone's emails
- one dialog on your side, server running on our side (scalable, ready for thousands of activations per minute)
Would something like this be interesting for you? As we are looking for references (and real world usage), we'd do it completely for free, servers, customer support -- everything paid by us.

Typical protection is just kind of wrapper. You remove the wrapper, you've got a clean, spreadable copy which can be used by anyone. So what are current 'protectors' trying to achieve is to hide this check, this comparison, to obfuscate it as someone has mentioned. But as soon as you find it (it can take hours, weeks, even months, take a look at Starforce for example -- 424 days), the product is finished and in mercy of legal (voluntary) buyers. Apropo Starforce... there's then another element and that's the way how the protection abuses your system... you can read it on wikipedia, what exactly it does, don't know about you but for me it was really scary reading.
These were the starting points for us, the things we wanted to avoid. So... what we have come with?
0. Publisher uploads (clean, unprotected) files he wishes to protect (it might be one .dll, it might be two .exe's + 10 .dlls ...) to our server
- this is of course secure, agreement-based operation, nothing for public
1. Every publisher gets a loader which he executes as the last step in his installation process
- this loader does a hardware check of your computer (looking for unique elements -- serial numbers, IDs, names, ...)
- it sends this information, along with the entered serial key to our server
- as you can see, nothing confident is sent (you can mangle the hw info but then you'll receive a file for another computer registered on your serial key)
- our response will be a file (files) tight to your computer hardware, i.e. it will run on your computer but not on your friend's one
- again, as you see, nothing hackable in this process
2. Customer runs this executable(s), if hardware matches, ok, if not, an error appears
This is how it works from user point of view. Now typical Q&A:
Q: what if I change my HW?
A: you, as publisher, can choose what hardware you expect / allow your customers to change. Plus, how many reactivations do you allow. So in practice: I think my customers are gamers, so I allow them to change video card (video card wont be included in that hardware collect operation) plus since they are crazy upgraders so I allow them to change hdd/mother board/etc three times. That also implies, that you can give your serial number to your 3 friends (or family members or computers in your weekend house), if you are sure you'll never change your hardware, yes, it's ok, I as publisher agree with it. (it's up to me to change these numbers). Plus bear in mind the number of concurrent (already activated) users are always in full control of the publisher -- thanks to the serial key + activation + database on our server.
Q: For every (re)activation I need an internet connection?
A: Yes, you do. You can alternatively sign up in an internet cafe or at your friend's place and download the file there (we'll provide web activation, too -- you bring your hw info file on an usb stick and we'll give you the protected files for your computer)
Q: What about updates?
A: You can upload the update in the same way as in the step 0, i.e. the next time user runs the activation process, new files will be downloaded. No trouble at all.
Q: OK, so how come it's uncrackable?
A: First, we do not claim it's unbreakable. We are only saying we can hold your game long enough on the game market to make some money back. We can debate how effective it is but bear in mind -- if today only 1 player of 20 pays for the product, improvement to 2 of 20 means double revenue!
Q: Cool cool, so how does it work then?
A: As I said, it's similar to cryptography. We inject your executable(s) on random places with thousands of 'crypto points'. There's huge technological background (ring0 stuff, drivers, protected memory etc) but in the nutshell it just asks about your HDD s/n, combines it with some data in the executable and generate some new code on some random place. This 'crypto points' are indistinguishable from regular code so the only way how to recognize them is to debug the app, check the result in memory, store it, patch it and.. move to another one. In a way it's similar to a series of ciphered blocks -- you can eventually crack them with brute force and combine into one but it takes time.
Q: TL;DR. What's the point?
A: The point is that if there's 6000 of these 'crypto points', you have to remove one after each another, you can't automatize it and you can't apply knowledge of one cracked product to another (because each copy is unique, each product has different code, i.e. this 'instruction mixing' happens always differently). So eventually, every game gets cracked but it will happen only after huge dedication from cracker's side and after the main sales are done (typical AAA game makes money in the first 3 weeks)
Super TL;DR version: no permanent Internet access, invisible to user, broad field of options for publisher.
I'm sorry for such a long post I just want to be sure you'll get the idea. Feel free to ask, if you haven't understood something.
Posted 17 October 2012 - 04:29 AM
I'm a little leery of your software injecting random "crypto points" into my executable because games do need to run in real-time, and doing kernel mode switches and querying HW drivers and suchlike sounds like it could easily cause a perceptible performance issue if it landed in the wrong place. There would need to be some kind of control on this to ensure no ill performance effects.
And I don't know if I would be *that* confident that crackers won't be able to automate detecting and removing the crypto points.
Beyond that, the idea seems reasonably sound from a once-over. Although my personal opinion is that the best way to fight piracy is to make an excellent game that people will be happy to pay for, price it appropriately (or allow users to choose the price), make it as easy as possible to pay (even internationally), and generally don't be a dick to your customers.

I don't have concrete statistics to prove whether or not piracy / anti-piracy has any effect on sales. It seems mostly anecdotal. You'd have to release the game twice in two different realities to see the net effect. The big question of course, is the DRM transparent? For most gamers, they would turn a blind eye so long as the process doesn't interfere with their gaming experience. For some, any DRM is an automatic "do not purchase" flag. Things like sending personal information, online activation checks, and limited installs are usually widely contested amongst anti-drm activists. Most still put up with it as the cost of PC gaming, but it's negative attention that I would imagine no start-up company would want to have. Any failure during the initial release could spell instant doom for the company. DRM server crashes, high demand loads, or simply having an unlucky day. I've seen it happen, even amongst large companies.
The other thing I would bring up is, how do you expect to compete against a more tested, widely used, and successful DRM provider like Steam? Steam, which also provides you a market to sell your game, community features, and an SDK for integrating bonus features such as achievements and cloud support. I would say in this day and age, it would be very risky to use an unproven 3rd party DRM technology over a proven one. To many games, even from well respected companies, have fallen victim to untested DRM that backfired negatively on the company.
Posted 17 October 2012 - 02:12 PM
There's nothing I'd hate more than getting more sales from DRM, then pissing it away on higher support costs.
Seems like the weak point is your executable. What's to prevent me hacking your executable to always return a positive match? Or, impersonate your server?
BTW, what's unique about your solution? Seems like that's how some popular DRM systems work anyways....

Another posibility would be to hack into your servers, and just download all the clean executeables . They should be encrypted, but some of them might be decrypted in a cache somewhere...
Yet another posibility would be to register from a VM, and then have everybody just run the exe in the same VM.

You said that you inject your crypto-points (CP) into the original executeable at random positions. This would mean that two executeables is unlikely to have any CP located at the same position in the file, correct? If this is so, in one exe where there will be a CP, in another exe there will just be the original code.
I could use this knowledge (assuming it is corect) to simultaneously run through 3-or-more executeables, and as long as there is no difference between the files, I dump it to the new file. When a difference is encountered, I would dump the contents of either of the 2 files that are equal, and skip over the content that is modified. I would just repeat this until the end is reached, which should result in a exe stripped of CPs.
Oh, and if you are saying that all the executeable code is encrypted, that point is moot. The file still has to be decrypted before it can be executed, and that decryption code probably exist locally in the file, which makes it easy to crack.
quadisys, on 18 October 2012 - 03:59 AM, said:
If it was me that where to do the hacking, I would start by penetrating your email servers (@quadisys.com), and start looking for emails containing info on your servers containing the clean files. Maybe an IP address, or even some admin login info. People are sometimes careless with these things.

1. You don't know which code is original and which is ours, you only see differences
2. Differences are 100%. Whole binary is mixed, moved etc. Only parts which are instructed to remain as-is will remain at the same position. This is our know how, actually.
Posted 18 October 2012 - 08:52 AM
Normally we were just given a copy of the game straight off the shelf of some games shop.
It was my job to remove the copy protection, get the game to run from hard disk, inject our code into the message loop, and split the game into several downloadable modules (typically 10)
Removing the copy protection took anything from 5 minutes to 5 days. I never failed to remove the copy protection.
The problem with all copy protection schemes is that the games have to run. It is trivial to create a protection scheme that would take a monumental effort to break, but the game would be unplayable as the frame time used to handle the copy protection would leave nothing for the game.
This is the fundamental problem, it's like network security. To create a 100% protected machine is trivial. Just put your machine in a Faraday cage and never turn it on. 100% secure, and 100% useless as a computer.
I often had to handle encrypted executables, it was trivial as all I had to was wait till the game was loaded and take a snapshot of memory. I could then load this snapshot instead of the original encrypted exe.
The games that were difficult to break used the stack to build the protection code. The game would call a subroutine to say load a texture, the code left a couple of bytes of machine code on the stack, then you call a routine to do something else and it leaves a few more, until the protection code exists as a block of memory on the stack. Then you trick the machine into running this code.
Unfortunately that stage was easy to detect and remove. All that hard work and clever coding removed with a few key strokes.
The best copy protection?
Make the game SO good that everyone wants an original.

What is the point of that ?
Once the game has been hacked, it will be released. Re-encrypting the game serves no purpose.
Games can use all sort of techniques to boost sales. Having a UID in all copies that has to be registered with a server for example.
These techniques often end up annoying end users and retailers. No second hand games etc.
For me, protecting against the kid in his bedroom with a hex editor is not a priority, the people I really do worry about are the organised crime guys who can copy the CD/DVD and send the image to thousands of distributors.
Luckily they spend most of their time targeting films.

As Reed and Stainless said, build something good and keep a good relationship with your user base. The more corporate, the more isolated you become, the more people will want to rebel against you. Just look at Ubisoft. They have a lot of talented developers and studios, but their DRM policies have put a bounty on their heads. Be reasonable, be respectful, and most importantly, heh, don't label people as untrustworthy and evil.

With over thirty years in the gasket industry, Remflex is changing the way people think of exhaust gaskets. Remflex Exhaust Gaskets are made of 100% flexible graphite, a material that conforms to any shape. This flexibility coupled with Remflex 50% crush, allows the gasket to fill gaps in the sealing surface, i.e., pitting and/or warping on the cylinder head, and header or exhaust manifold up to 1/16". With Remflex 30% rebound, an optimum seal is created against both flanges eliminating the need to re-torque!
Extreme heat in the exhaust system is the main cause of gasket failure. Most of the top brands people have used over the years are made of composite materials. The binder used with these materials is rubber and at best , rubber binders begin to burn away at 250 - 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remflex 100% flexible graphite gaskets are good to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit, so they will never burn out!
Anyone who works on cars or trucks, whether a professional or enthusiast, has dealt with exhaust leaks and felt the frustration when they come back again and again.... So, whether you have a street rod in the garage and you're installing a set of quality headers, or you have a pick-up on the farm and need a gasket for that old manifold, Remflex Exhaust Gaskets will do the job right the first time.
Remflex Exhaust Gasket Remflex's unique flexible graphite material has been proven for more than 30 years in industrial applications, where temperatures routinely exceed 2,000 degreesday after day, week after week, year after year. Now, we're bringing this technology to enthusiasts of all kinds to eliminate exhaust leaks for good! Whether you have an old pick-up that needs a manifold gasket, or a race car with custom-built headers, you can be assured that Remflex exhaust gaskets will work properly the first time, every time.
The Science Remflex gaskets work because they solve the two main problems associated with sealing an exhaust flange: Warping, and gasket failure.
Warped Reality A common misconception is that, if you spend a lot of money for high-quality headers with thick flanges, leaks will not be an issue. In truth, a thicker flange does help, but it can't solve the problem of warping altogether. Constant thermal cycling, especially in high performance and/or high-load environments, causes warping of header flanges and cast iron exhaust manifolds--even the exhaust flange of the cylinder head itself.
Once the sealing surface is warped, leaks are imminentand once there is a leak, pitting of the exhaust port sealing surface usually follows. A new set of average gaskets won't fix the problembut Remflex gaskets, with a 50% crush built incan seal gaps as large as 1/16-inch. And unlike traditional gaskets, they won't shrink, so they never require re-torquing.
If you can't take the heat Curiously, the number one cause of exhaust gasket failure is heatthe very thing exhaust gaskets are supposed to withstand. That's because traditional exhaust gaskets are made of composite materialsblends of natural fibers and synthetic compounds that are bound together using rubber. Simply put, it's only a matter of time until the extreme temperature in the vehicle's exhaust system burns the gasket's composite materials away, resulting in an exhaust leak.
You've no doubt experienced the pungent odor that arises from the engine compartment after you install a new set of the top-brand exhaust gaskets. That's the smell of the rubber binders in the composite materials that begin to burn out almost immediately. And once the rubber overheats, it begins to shrink, as well has harden. That's why you are instructed to re-torque the gaskets regularly, and why an exhaust leak will develop if you don't. Remflex exhaust gaskets are made from 100% flexible graphite and can withstand up to 3,000 degrees Fso they are not affected by exhaust system, and won't burn out, shrink, or leak. Not now, not ever!

Elijah....this is looking so much better; what do you think, are you happy with this?
OK, the next step to be working towards (if there are no further objections to anything from the Foundry, assuming you will attend to or justify those issues) is the large map.
You are required to complete a large version (I wouldn't go anything wider than 800px) of this map. You may be able to simply use the re-size function to increase the size of elements on the map the large version.
The only thing you will have to re-work if you upsize this way is the size of the army shadows themsleves.
It is recommended that the army shadow circle be 24 px dia. this is unfortunately a tedious piece of the mapmaking process, however WidowMakers has completed a tutorial in Map Making Tools for the Army Circles, check there.
You need to show both maps together, with the army circle numbers on both versions.
See how you go!
Elijah S wrote:I'm pleased with the progress and think this map's about's ready for final forge.
Since the height's a pretty good size, I may not go quite to 800px wide for the large map, but I'll try a few sizes before posting it.
The army circles, while yes, tedious work, should pose no problem.
Thanks for all the assistance... let's get this thing into production! I'm anxious to start kicking ass playing it!
Coleman wrote:While you do that, some of the army circles are looking a little bit too bunched up with their territory names.
Wisconsin, Sioux Territory, and The Badlands to name a few, easy solution is to just move the army circles down a few pixels.
Speaking of Sioux territory... Sioux is an incorrect name white people gave to the Lakota. Regardless it still appears on a lot of maps and what not so if you don't care I won't bother to try and force you to change it to Lakota Territory.
Elijah S wrote:"And when it gets to Final Forge, are you ready to and or have you got someone doing the xml for you. All those coordinates don't just magically appear."
lol... I enjoyed this. Ah, the supportive, yet somewhat biting and condescending tone.
Having written a considerable amount of web-script, including java and html, I don't think the xml should pose any particular problem for me.

The basics
The 800m starts with a staggered start run two full circuits of the track; athletes start in lanes, but may break from their lanes when they reach the break line after the first bend.
The 1500m is raced over three and three-quarter laps of the track. Athletes start behind an arc that ensures that every athlete is the same distance from the finish. On starting, athletes may move towards the inside lane straight away.
Competition format
The number of heats and rounds depends on the number of athletes competing, but there will not be more than three rounds – heat, semi-final, final – in any event.
The draw to determine which heat an athlete will run in is decided by their initial seedings (based on previous performance) for the first round, and then both their performances after that as well as in the qualifying period are taken into account, ensuring that the highest seeded athletes are not allocated the same heat.
For more information, please go to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) website.

His friend, Captain Carl Fairbanks (Jeffrey Wright) asks Mayor Nicholas Hostetler (Russell Crowe) for help, and Hostetler eliminates the evidence against Taggart. Tavarez's death is ruled as self-defense, and Taggart is forced to leave the police. Seven years later, Taggart is a private detective on the verge of bankruptcy when he's hired by Hostetler to find out who his wife Cathleen Hostetler (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is having an affair with.

Publication: theday.com
New London — A man accused of assaulting his wife and then hitting one of her brothers with a tire iron last month appeared in court Wednesday on several charges related to that incident.
Gerson Ortiz, 34, of 19 Jay St. was ordered to stay away from his wife and had his case continued until Dec. 10. He is being held in lieu of a $50,000 bond.
According to witness reports, an intoxicated Ortiz shook, strangled and threw his wife to the floor during an argument Oct. 27. Three of the couple's children, ages 11, 9 and 8, looked on, according to court documents.
Following the assault, Ortiz's wife left her Buchanan Road home with the children and went to her brother's Third Street residence. Ortiz followed her there, but one of the woman's two brothers went outside the home to tell Ortiz to leave. Ortiz tried to start a fight, the report says, and took a tire iron out of his Honda Accord. He approached one brother and took a swing at his head, but the man blocked the wrench with his arm. That brother was taken to the hospital with a left arm injury.
After the attack, Ortiz tried to run down one brother with his car as he left the scene.
Following his arrest Tuesday, police charged Ortiz with second-degree assault, second-degree reckless endangerment, three counts of risk of injury to a minor, second-degree breach of peace and disorderly conduct.

"Aside from Angel Tree, this is probably our biggest event of the year," said Auxiliary member Judy Hosaflook. "The Auxiliary is made up of about 20 women and through the year they make between 1,500 and 1,600 bowls."
This year will mark Empty Bowls' 15th year, but unlike previous years, it will be on March 27, instead of its usual Ash Wednesday date because of scheduling conflicts at the Tupelo Furniture Market's Building Five. Auxiliary member Sarah Harris said the change might garner even more attendance.
"The weather will be warmer and hopefully more people will be around Tupelo for Easter," she said. "Last year over 2,300 people turned out for it, so hopefully we can top that this year."
Attendees will be given a styrofoam bowl and will choose a soup from options provided by more than 70 local restaurants. At their table, attendees will receive a piece of bread and a cup of water. When when they leave, they'll be given a bowl crafted by the Auxiliary as a memento.
Hosaflook said Empty bowls has become quite the social event.
"People spend a lot of time visiting and shopping around at booths vendors have set up to sell pottery or baked goods," she said. "I just hope they realize the point of Empty Bowls is to emphasize the fact that a bowl of soup, a piece of bread, a cup of water, that's it for some people."
The proceeds, which exceeded $70,000 last year, go toward funding the Army's meal program – which serves those in need three meals a day – and expanding the Army's lodge facility.
Tickets will go on sale Feb. 20, and may be purchased for $15 from the Salvation Army Headquarters at 527 Carnation St., or from any Auxiliary member or participating businesses.

Its a great post, i always wait for this kind of shows and concerts in which Eminem shows his rapping skills with booming tracks. The next performance will be going to be in Osheaga Music and Arts Festival Montreal, CAN.
There were actually very few people at Wiz Khalifa since he was on at the same time as Mumford and Sons. In fact, Mumford should have been on the big stage to loosen the crowd up instead of Wiz on the main stage.
Eminen was good but a little disappointing that he uses a backing track on many songs to double his vocals but did not always double them live, leaving you listening to the backing track. Plus, if you are as big as he is, hire a couple great back-up singers to do parts instead of the backing tracks. I just hate backing tracks. -

Hey, Wolves Fans. Not the start we were looking for in the first round of the playoffs. Both games in San Antonio were very close and could have gone either way.
We got back Sunday, had practice this morning and now are resting up for what will have to be a great effort tomorrow. As a team we are very positive and confident that we can do what it takes to win three in a row and take the series.
It's going to be a tough road ahead, but we are just focused on winning tomorrow and taking it one step at a time. I look forward to playing in front of our home crowd and winning Game 3. Hope to see lots of you there!!!

Share Your Thoughts: Do Gun Buyback Programs Work? If they don't, why not use them anyway as community outreach? We have several ways for you to be part of this story. ....Share your comments at the bottom of this page .....Take part in our webpoll at the right.
In recent days billboards have been put up around the city proclaiming the date, but no details of the exact buyback locations are public. The billboards refer to the city's website where a complete site search Wednesday morning revealed only information on past year's efforts.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown says formal details have not been finalized, and an official announcement will be forthcoming.
"We see it as crime prevention but we also see it as community outreach...It is just one tool, one strategy, that our police department uses to make the city safer."
- Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown.
"We hold the program because we are trying to get illegal guns out of the hands of criminals who might hurt someone." he says adding that since 2005 the city's gun buyback program has taken 8,800 guns off city streets.

Do Gun Buyback Programs Work?
Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Critics of gun buyback programs say they don't work when it comes to fighting violent crime. The mayor of Jersey City, NJ and the organizer of New Orleans' gun buyback program say anytime guns are off the streets, it helps.
"I'd be exaggerating if I said there was a direct link between gun buy back programs and the reduction in crime rates," concedes Jerremiah Healy, Jersey City Mayor. His city has had three successful gun buyback programs in the last 15 months, bringing nearly 500 guns off the streets of his city.
"The studies are ambiguous" as to whether gun buyback programs reduce crime, but Healy thinks it can't hurt. "They have to help make our streets safer. That's my opinion regardless what studies show."
New Orleans recently retrieved some 400 guns during a gun buyback in May. Sgt. LJ Smith says, "Any gun that's unneeded and unnecessary can potentially lead to a bad situation." Smith believes in some sense, "any guns being taken away and off the street and put in the right places do potentially stop crime."

Diebold head isn't afraid to shake things upWallace's history at Ford suggests big changes are ahead
By MARK DODOSH 4:30 am, February 4, 2013
On the day Diebold Inc. announced that he had been elected to lead the company's board of directors, Henry D.G. Wallace signaled that he would be no caretaker chairman.
As Automotive News would report, Mr. Wallace had radical ideas. He would promote executives by merit, not seniority. And he would promote women. Both ideas went against the norm in a company and a country where men always had held the important jobs, and in an orderly, age-bound way.
How adroitly Mr. Wallace manages the change that has been kicked off at Diebold with Mr. Swidarski's departure remains to be seen.
The last several months have seen little positive news come out of Diebold. PRINTED FROM: http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20130204/SUB1/302049983/1096/TOC&template=printart |

Donald Joseph Bray, 31, of 1457 Doyle Road, faces one count each of reckless driving and driving while his license was revoked and four counts of running a stop sign, Floyd County Jail records state. The charges stem from a Feb. 20 chase down Flannery Street in Rome that ended in Bray and a woman fleeing the scene, Rome police said.
According to reports, a Rome officer was contacted at 8:10 p.m. Feb. 20 by the Rome-Floyd Metro Task Force about a suspect who allegedly had drugs. The suspect, the officer learned, would be in a black Chevrolet S-10 with a missing headlight.
The officer was told to watch for the vehicle on Maple Street. Moments later, a vehicle matching the description drove past. The officer began following the Chevrolet, which soon turned into a nearby gas station and pulled toward the gas pumps.
The officer saw a male driver and female passenger in the vehicle. The driver, later identified in reports as Bray, then turned around to see what was behind him.
The officer began to radio in a traffic stop when the Chevrolet quickly pulled onto Willingham Street and drove off.
The Chevrolet fishtailed as it drove down Willingham, running a stop sign before turning left onto Flannery Street. The officer slowed down because of vehicle and pedestrian traffic and lost distance to the Chevrolet, reports state.
The officer was close to stopping his pursuit when he noticed the Chevrolet was wrecked at a utility pole at Flannery and East 14th streets.
Its doors were open and the two occupants were gone, records show.
Police say they then brought "Axle," a K9 dog, to the scene. Axle sniffed his way to a nearby home, where they found the woman who fled the suspect's car.
The woman, who is not named in reports, told police the Chevrolet's driver was Bray.
Police then took out warrants on Bray, records state.

I plan to return it tomorrow. Won't start. Started 1st time right out of the box, ran fine and mowed the lawn as it should. 2nd week, it started as before and then stopped never to start again. Afier 2 days of doing everything I could think of, I called and talked with a customer service rep at Briggs - Stratton who suggestion the problem might be a "stuck" thermocoupler (??). Talked with local B-S rep who told me to bring the mower in, wait to 2 weeks and deposit $35.00. That's it! Back to Sears tomorrow.
Fulton, MD

Bought this item Oct. 2012, used it 3 times, now it doesn't start. I've emptied the gas before winter, refilled it first with 89 octane (wouldn't start), emptied it and refilled with 94 octane, still wouldn't start. Put new spark plug in it, it still won't start. Called Briggs & Stratton since it's their engine (with warrenty), can't get anyone to help. I owned a Toro for 15 years and never had a problem with it. I bought this one assuming it would be worry free for at least 2 - 3 years. Boy did I make a BIG MISTAKE.

Austin, TX

Self-wash, just hook up a hose and turn it on. So easy to start a 2 year old could do it! Starts first time every time. Well made. Many options: rear bagger, side blowout, or mulch. 6 height settings, easy to set and only have to set on one side. Comes with oil, on and on I could go

Easy to assemble. Only got to use it once but it fires up with the first pull everytime I've started during the winter.

lawnmower worked the first time them began running erratic called sears. there solution was to bring it to them 150 miles round trip leave it and come back at a later time . they would rebuild the carb maybe at my cost. used 1 time I have to drive 300 plus mile and maybe pay for repairs. cheaper to buy another one somewhere else which I will do done with sears there washers are junk also.

Hiking the Baldface Loop Trail 10/18/12
Our last hike on our fall vacation was a chance to hike with good friends and new friends. We were invited to hike the Baldface Circle Loop with Mark and Natalie; Trish, Hugh, Alex and Sage; and Dan and Janelle. It was a long day beginning at 8:30 am and finishing in the dark at 6:30 pm. Everyone enjoyed the trail, tricky ledges and grand summits with 360 degree views along the 10+ mile hike. Even though we had hiked this loop back in the fall of 2001, it was a totally new experience for us. Thanks to all for a fantastic hike and we look forward to more hikes with the group.
