Hi everyone.
Sorry that I haven't been around recently. My scanner isn't playing nice, so here are some old sketches and studies that are already on the computer. I'll be posting new things soon;...
Sketchin' troopers.
A touch more.
A bit more on that wrestler.
Xiphyc: Thanks man. I need to do a rendered up version of that one.
I'm working on a wrestler character for another forum's contest. These are my initial sketches.
I was experimenting with some new brushes today.
Some doodles and scribblings
Another "SciFi Mad Hatter" sketch for CHOW.
Hello again, everybody.
I started another sketch. I need to get some fresh eyes on it tomorrow, though, because I don't even know what I'm doing with it anymore. This is a tough one.
Creature of the Week quickie; "Deep Sea Crawler".
Cool topic and very interesting work all around already.
My first sketch:
Daily sketch group crab mage.
First idea sketch, I tried to stay away from steampunk aesthetics.
dragning Thanks!
elinoree Thank you; still so much more confidence to gain, though.
I smudged some imagination faces together to try and get back into the groove. Time for some references.
LostTemple Thank you, I liked the energy in the last one as well.
This was from the Daily Sketch Group; when an artist's fruit bowl attacks!
Your sketchbook pages are looking great; very energetic stuff. That orc is coming along nicely as well, I think lowering the saturation in one or two areas will really make it pop as you continue on...
Hey Misty. Sorry to hear about your computer, but don't let a setback like that slow you down your progress. Sometimes a bit of a break can work wonders, so keep on keepin' on.
Another sketch from today.
Time to try this again. Away we go!
A few days late. I did an up close shot and a quick action sketch.
Looking great, scorge. I like your color choices.

Wireless power transfer systems are finding increasing applications which can enhance the living standard of the general public. Typical examples are wireless charging of mobile phone batteries and car batteries. Thanks to the advent of power electronics in the past few decades, some wireless charging systems are now emerging in the commercial sector. However, the transfer efficiency and transfer distance of these chargers are limiting the technology to a few specific applications only. In order to increase the transfer distance, some researchers have successfully proposed to use relay coils to improve their wireless power transfer efficiency. In this paper, the role of relay resonator is examined critically. The reported findings indicate that it is not always desirable to have relay coils in wireless charger as the relay resonator may increase, or sometimes reduce, the overall power transfer efficiency. The findings also reveal that there is an optimal position for the designer to locate the relay resonator to maximize the power transfer efficiency.

Switch to previous Render Engine complete!
We know that it has been a big wish from all of you for us to optimize the game and make it run faster and better and with the recently released update to the game's render engine we aimed to do just that. This update brought ao. support for DirectX 12 / Temporal Anti-Aliasing / Render Resolution separate from screen resolution and a number of other updates, optimizations and improvements to how the game engine runs.
Our extensive internal testing showed performance increases on all CPU/GPU combinations able to run the game, however the real world results did not live up to this.
For those players where it works as expected it runs really well and boosts performance, but for a large number of you it did not perform as well as we wanted. And we have identified a number of more complex bugs that would require multiple hotfixes over a long period of time to get stable and fast for everybody. We don't think this is fair for those of you, for whom the game runs poorly at the moment, so we've decided to switch the render engine back to the previous version and postpone the render engine update.
As the render engine is an isolated component in our game engine, we're fortunate that we DO have the option to switch to an earlier version. We want to deliver a better playing experience for all so when we have an updated version of the render engine ready we might ask you to help us test it on a separate server.
So tomorrow (21JUN16) morning we're switching the Render Engine version.
UPDATE: The render engine has now been switched.
Render Update
UPDATE Friday June 17 1300 CEST
We have just rolled out a set of hotfixes to improve the game performance. These are a fix for a memory leak in render engine (that lead to out of memory crashes). We have optmized the the DirectX 11 render to use a bit less memory in total. We have added an updated fix for render threading to reduce micro-stuttering and freezes AND a fix for the action game not closing properly if mission ends during loading.
Yesterday we rolled out a brand new update to the render engine, a core component of the game, with the purpose of making the game run faster and smoother. Before releasing it we did an extensive internal test and following release we asked you for feedback and started closely monitoring how it performed out in the "real world".
It is clear that there are still a number of different issues with the DirectX 12 render causing problems for you out there. Instead of hotfixing these a handful at a time, we have decided to disable DirectX 12 support, for now, in the new render engine.
Alongside this we are also adding a fix for micro-stuttering that has affected players regardless of DirectX version.
We are extremely thankful for all the good and detailed feedback you, have given us and this information is solid ammunition for continued optimization!
We're sorry that the render update caused issues for you and we would like to give you all a voucher for 24hr FREE VETERAN MEMBERSHIP that can be activated until Thursday June 23rd 2016, Noon CEST (click to see when this is in your timezone). So make sure you use the voucher BEFORE this time to activate your Free Veteran Membership.
The voucher code is
- Go to http://game.heroesandgenerals.com/ or launch the game on Steam.
- Log in
- Click the Menu button (cog wheel) in the top right corner
- Click on the "Redeem Voucher" button
- Paste or type in the voucher code "RENDERJUNE16" and click "OK"
Perfomance Optimizations and introducing Microsoft DirectX 12
Thanks to the precise feedback from the players we have been able to quickly identify a number of bugs and we are working as fast as we can on a fix. If you have more feedback please use this forum thread: DirectX 12 Feedback Thread.
In today's update to the game we are adding a number of optimizations to help you run the game faster and smoother while at the same time making it look better!
Better Performance Across The Board
We've updated the game's render and with these optimizations we are seeing an average of 5-15 percent framerate increase across all machines. And even bigger increase on machines running DirectX 12 (10-15 percent increase), and we have even tested a few setups with up to 40 percent increase in framerate!
Resolution and Render resolution
If you still want more after these optimizations we have introduced a new feature in the render where resolution and render resolution are split into two! This means that you can lower the render resolution while still keeping the user interface and overlays in your monitor's native resolution. This is a way to get a better framerate without hurting the graphics card too much. The game then scales the 3D render to fit the screen resolution. You find this in the settings in the action game, and you can always press F7 (default key) to see the current FPS and Ping in the action game. But wont lowering the render resolution make the game look horrible and jagged? Read on for more info on how this is handled!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everybody!
Late at night, when everybody is sleeping – Reto.Hal9k climbs into his programming hideout and with only a single candle lit, he writes new render features that hopefully makes their way into the game one day. This time he has been working on weather effects – and in this case: SNOW! – Reto.Robotron3000
Intelligence Bulletin Vol 3 * No 30
Indian Summer? The calendar says late September, but the sky is blue, the sun is shining and we released a new videolog. Please note the impressive flying in the beginning; we saw the video fightingfalconf16 posted online and went in; ID'ed the session and grabbed the replay from the server. If you see awesome things like this in the game, please make a note of when it happened (and your timezone), the name of the battle, and the names of the players involved. Then you might be featured in our next video or we might make a compilation video of awesome heroics :-)
We have published another batch of answers from the Q&A thread and I am still sneaking up on devs and finding answers for your questions.
The other main things happening here at HQ, is the continued tracking of how the servers run and putting out hotfixes as well as locking down the feature set for the next build. We will then spend the next while making sure the new features work and play well together with the existing features and of course eliminate all bugs we find on the way.
That is all from me, have a great week everybody! :-)
Clear sky to overcast from a rendering perspective
To penetrate and dissipate these (ingame) clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education. – Thomas Jefferson
This time I'll write a bit about our upcoming real-time volumetric cloud system. Unless something goes horribly wrong and the sky is falling down the new clouds should make an appearance in the Jefferson build.
About a year ago I wrote the code and shaders for the current cloud system, that uses sprites to render the clouds seen in the action game. At that point I was already pursuing various options for rendering clouds in a different way, that I wasn't satisfied with the quality and performance I could achieve using sprites, but due to lack of time I had to let go of the research and use the sprite system.

David Burke's New American Classics
David Burke's New American Classics
Alfred A. Knopf, Hardcover, 9780375412318, 300pp.
Publication Date: April 4, 2006
One of America's most innovative and accomplished chefs gives us a book full of deliciously original recipes both for everyday meals and for memorable entertaining.
Over the course of a brilliant career, David Burke has created imaginative and irresistible updates of classic American cuisine. Now he makes it easy for the home cook to master a classic dish and then add innovative touches to make it even more tempting, in what he calls contemporary classics. In addition, he includes "Second Day Dishes," a new and magical approach to leftovers.
Here is how it works: classic Eggs Benedict with Hash Brown Potatoes and Oven-Dried Tomatoes leads to Canadian Bacon and Onion Potato Cake with Poached Eggs and Spicy Tomato Salsa, which in turn leads to Bacon, Potato, and Eggs Strudel on the second day. Traditional Broiled Shrimp with Scampi Butter and Tomato-Rice Pilaf is transformed into SautEed Shrimp with Spinach-Lasagna Roll and Crisp Spinach, and then into Shrimp Fried Rice and Sausage the next day.
A Classic Chef's Salad Bowl can be turned into Carpaccio of Chef's Salad, and then Chef's Salad Bruschetta. Roast Chicken "Farmhouse Style" with Potatoes, Mushrooms, Bacon, Onions, and Apple Cider Gravy is reconceived as Seawater-Soaked Chicken with Thyme and Poppy Seed Gnocchi, and a day later can become Chicken-Potato Pancakes with Apple-Sour Cream Sauce. New York Cheesecake becomes Grand Marnier SoufflEs, changed on the next day into Coconut Cheesecake Beignets with Red Fruit Sorbet and Berries. From appetizers to desserts, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner--117 delectable recipes (including Titanic French Toast with Three Jams; Oh, My Cod ; Chocolate Chip UFOs; and many more of Burke's signature whimsical creations)--a fabulous cookbook.
Kellogg Company is the world's leading producer of cereal and a leading producer of convenience foods, including cookies, crackers, toaster pastries, cereal bars, frozen waffles, meat alternatives, pie crusts, and ice cream cones. The company's brands include Kellogg's, Keebler, Pop-Tarts, Eggo, Cheez-It, Nutri-Grain, Rice Krispies, Murray, Austin, Morningstar Farms, Famous Amos, Carr's, Plantation, Ready Crust, and Kashi. Kellogg products are manufactured in 17 countries and marketed in more than 180 countries around the world.

Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Between Rizzo and LaHair, we seem to have one of those good kind of problems on our hands.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
In that the only two legit power hitters in the organization play first base?
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
both should be good for 150Ks...woo.
i like rizzo...i like lahair...both get it done ugly, though. rizzo at least has room to improve and settle...and it seems he's making a bit of improvement this year while still playing over his talent level compared to age. lahair hopefully will cut down on the misses with regular ABs...hopefully.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
I don't care about 150 strikeouts if he continues to have an OPS over 1000 (or even 900).
Though, of course, his ridiculous BABIP is completely unsustainable.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Rizzo's got too many errors, but he's a pretty good fielding first baseman overall with good instincts. He'll be fine given more experience. Where to put LaHair is a bigger issue. He seemed to do okay in left last year when put out there, so I guess that's it. It all depends on how and when the team cuts Soriano off I guess.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
"Rays shortstop prospect Tim Beckham has been suspended 50 games for a positive drug test."
weed strikes again. it's time to get rid of this stupid rule.
oh, you got oxys, percs, and flexiril in you on prescription along with a developing alcohol problem...no problem til you get arrested, go play kid.
i'd be fine with a suspension...a week...whatever...but 50 days? hell, 20 days is too much.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Muskat tweets...
Tarp is partially off field at Great American Ball Park and radar shows more rain coming.
Rain washed out batting practice for Cubs in Cincy. Radar is very colorful, which isn't a good sign.
Cubs lineup vs #Reds: DeJesus rf, Campana cf, Castro ss, LaHair 1b, Soriano lf, Stewart 3b, DeWitt 2b, Soto c, Samardzija p
Levine or Padilla tweets...
Tentative start time is 7pm CST (8pm Eastern)
(translation, a 1 hr delay expected)
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
this rain delay is quickly becoming the most inconvenient thing to ever happen to me in my entire life.
i'm so bored...and tired...must...have...passive...entertainment...
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Any updates on whether they will play or not?
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
looking at twitter it seems the rain has stopped, but no word about the tarp moving yet.
supposedly another weather cell might be close, too. *shrug*

Sorry if this sage advice is late, but have you considered turning "safe search" off on Google?

windows open, windows close, we doze...
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
David Kaplan on the rain delay theater mentioned that Hak Ju Lee is struggling this year so far
He's playing for the Montgomery Biscuits and in 111 PA:
.248 .315 .327 .642
probably not worth checking back until the all-star break but I'm thinking this isn't a big enough sample to say much about struggling.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
he's also very young for the league and has been doing somewhat better recently after a very slow start.
chris archer is running out of excuses to keep himself in the rotation, though...early in the season or not.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
I'll be honest, I don't think Hak-Ju will ever hit enough to be a major league regular. His defense and speed will get him to the majors, but a sub-700 OPS is hard to stomach in the modern game. Now, if Hak-Ju can just a find a time machine, he would be a primo SS in the 60s and 70s. All that was expected of shortstops then was exactly what Lee has, speed and defense.
Is Adrian Cardenas' apparently decent numbers at Iowa simply a result of the usual PCL inflation, or is he maybe a potential Barney replacement?
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Cardenas is interesting to me. High School player of the year, 1st round draft pick, and has adapted at each level, in most cases at a young age.
As an 18-year old hit .318 .384 .442 in Rookie Ball.
As a 19-year old hit .295 .354 .417 in a full season of A-ball
As a 20-year old he was hitting .307 .371 .441 in High A before being traded mid-season to the A's in the Joe Blanton deal. He hit .278 .297 .333 in High-A for the A's before finishing the season with 26 games in AA at .279 .392 .326
He then started his 21-year old year in AA and hit .326 .392 .446; but struggled a bit in AAA to finish the year: .251 .317 .372
He had a very similar year the next year with success at AA (.345 .436 .469) but struggling a bit in AAA (.267 .320 .329).
But he played all of last year in AAA as a 23-year old and seemed to figure it out, with a line of: .314 .374 .418
So he mastered AA, had two half-seasons at AAA where he struggled, but then had a solid AAA season last year, and now is following that up with a great start to AAA in 2012.
He is very much like Barney in that he has very little power or speed. His defense is also not great, and Barney certainly has better range at SS and 2B, but Cardenas has more experience playing 3rd. Cardenas is 2 years younger, would be slightly cheaper, and is the better pure hitter with a better walk rate.
I could see in a couple of months a contender perhaps trading for Barney to fill a utility infielder role, and then Cardenas would get a shot.

The I-Cubs are pummelling Memphis tonight in Memphis, 11-3 in the bottom of the 6th.
A 6 run first: BJax double, Sappelt double, Cardenas Sac Fly, Rizzo rbi single, Wright single, Vitters Single, Tolbert rbi single, Apodaca single, JJax Sac Fly, BJax rbi double
BJax 4-4, 3 runs, 2 rbi
Cardenas 2-3, 3 rbi
Rizzo 1-3, rbi, walk
JJax 1-3, run and an rbi (and 5 innings pitched, 6 hits, 3 ER, 3BB, 6 K)
Vitters 2-4
Garza Trade
In taking a very quick look at one year later of trading for Matt Garza, I still have no problem with it.
Archer still walks 7+/9 innings and its anyone's guess if he will pan out.
Lee is still a solid prospect with the glove. I will take Baez over him and Castro with his myriad warts will be at the position for the foreseeable future.
Sammy is not playing this year. And, Campy is turning into the same guy anyway.
Guyer is not on the big club currently, and no great shakes.
Garza is a stud and now the team's best pitcher. I hope he is signed to a long-term deal.
So far, at least, Hendry did not blow this one.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
garza is also an extreme "day person"
he's not a party guy. he's not staying out til 3am getting loaded.
hell, he's been tied down with kids since he was a kid, himself.
a legit SP who's young who has no issue with day games because he wakes up at dawn anyway...yeah, that's a good fit for this team.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Garza is a great fit and a superb pitcher. I think most people agree on that. The rub doesn't come from Garza's abilities, it had more to do with timing... giving up a lot to get a superb pitcher for a team that is going nowhere fast- seemed odd to me. Still seems odd.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
you're going to be hard pressed to find anyone not in Oakland (or SD, arguably) who's going to gut a team and just cruise for a few years until you get a slew of cheap/productive kids.
he was very cheap on the wallet and though some like that package of kids given up or would rather have kids in return....i think garza was bought cheap and he's young enough to be the type of guy you give a 5 year contract to without sweating it too hard.
i'd be shocked if they weren't spending next year. i pretty much expect either garza or a.sanchez or c.hammels on the cubs next year (unless hams/sanch gets locked up before he hits FA).
as much as some people are down with a 2014/2015 resurgance, i doubt the fan base on whole are ready to put with another year that looks like this one...especially with the loot coming off the payroll.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Ugh - DeWitt: The C Boozer of the Cubs.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Sure...except that Boozer is decent/good and DeWitt isn't.
I honestly don't get the comparison to Boozer (and I'm no fan of Boozer).
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Just how I am feeling about the matter: Boozer sucks. DeWitt sucks.
OF course Booz is making only $13.5MM for this year, while DeWitt was DFA'd so he goes pretty cheap.
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
sick of all the "wow, they paid THAT much for the dodgers" talk.

E-Man: There are so many different ways he (DeWitt) can score: on a sac fly, on a wild pitch, on a 2 run HR, on a Soto GIDP...
Thibodeau expects more from Boozer.
"[Boozer] just has to play his game, do his job," Thibodeau said. "There's so many different ways he can score.

How do you not get fined or demoted for messing up a call that badly? Or why does another ump not get the opportunity to overrule that terrible, terrible call?
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Will be at the game tonight. Freebie tix, so I got that going for me. Christian Moerlein, a local brewery, finally opened up their restaurant near the park. One of the Cincy tv stations was bitching about them running a promotion welcoming Cubs fans. Pretty funny how hyper sensitive the Reds fans can sometimes be. We live nearby and witness it every year. More to the point, CM is a great beer and the place is a little pricey, but definitely worth it.
Two hippies on the mound tonight. We have the advantage only in that category because we also have a hippie catching. Go (rebuilding) CUBS!!!
Re: Cubs Best and Worst of April
Don't really get the hippie label if you mean Arroyo? He's more like a Country Singer/Songwriter wannabe to me.
Have to try the CM beer. We have been picking up Graeters Ice Cream at our local Whole-in-the-Pocket Foods. It is quite incredible and great for my diet of course.
Other than that, they can have the city.

also, he's got a (legit) crappy band that does crappy pop/acoustic covers (matchbox 20, etc) and a few originals.

Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.
Oh yeah! It just felt like one for some reason.
Agreed. I was not including Fowler or Heyward.
I'm just not a fan of 2016 Coghlan.....
@Dusty Contreras if it's a Lester or Arrieta start. TLS is good PH too. You also forgot about Heyward, assume Fowler is CF.

No-Win Deal for WVSSAC
WHEELING – By issuing an order Tuesday that disqualifies South Charleston from the West Virginia Class AAA playoffs and allows Brooke to forge forward into the finals at 7 p.m. Saturday against Martinsburg, the W.Va. Supreme Court has made a winner out of the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission in terms of being an unchallenged governing body.
There are many out there who have a picture in their minds of WVSSAC Executive Director Gary Ray and members of the organization's hierarchy sitting around the office in Parkersburg in fur coats, smoking expensive cigars, sipping fine wines and warming themselves by a fire that's stoked with $100 bills. But not one of those people would have traded places with SSAC leaders Tuesday, because no matter the decision that was made somebody's innocent kids were going to suffer.
Once the Supreme Court made its thoughts known, there was only three possible outcomes:
- Allow South Charleston to play, but without the four originally suspended players.
- Force South Charleston to forfeit and allow Brooke to play for the championship.
- Disqualify South Charleston and eliminate Brooke, which was beaten on the field by the Black Eagles, thus awarding Martinsburg the title without playing the game.
The problem, though, is somebody who had nothing to do with any of the mess is going to be unjustly punished.
Brooke followed the rules, and although it lost has the right to play in the game because of the letter of the law. Martinsburg's kids have already suffered, and to a player would not want to essentially occupy a vacant throne.
But the real problem continues to be at South Charleston.
Precedent in such cases had been set a few years ago with Huntington High basketball standout O.J. Mayo, who these days is playing with the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies. The Supreme Court ruled then, that the SSAC has all final say in regard to suspensions/ejections.
If the parents of the four suspended Black Eagles players had taken a minute to catch their collective breath before sending this to court, they would have realized from the beginning this would be the outcome. What those adults effectively did, was cheat the other 46 members of the team out of the chance to compete for a state title, something they've worked since August to accomplish.
And let's place some blame at the feet of the South Charleston administrators, who likewise have cheated those kids, and in the process set a terrible example. I continue to use the 'c' word, because anything less isn't doing justice.
If the coach, principal or school board would have stood up immediately for what's right, we wouldn't be in this situation. And yes, South Charleston would have lost to Brooke without four of its best players. But those other kids earned, and deserved that chance. They earned the right to compete by complying with the rules set forth, yet still had that opportunity taken away because of the selfish acts of a few.
I'm also wondering exactly why Beckley-based attorney Ben Salango would take a case he couldn't win. Again, the precedent, right there in black and white, had been set. I would hope Salango had enough scruples to inform the families of said precedent before pocketing their retaining fees.
Along those same lines, Kanawha County Circuit Judge Carrie Webster should be thoroughly taken to task for circumventing the system in the name of a victory for her constituents. There are those who have suggested it was a political move in order to gain votes in the next election. While I don't agree with that line of thinking, if it was the case I'd be willing to bet there are 46 sets of votes she just lost.
But the real loser in all of this is Martinsburg. No matter the outcome Saturday, the Bulldogs can't win.
If they should lose on the field, the argument could be made they were put at a disadvantage from the beginning of all this. Should it win, detractors will say Martinsburg didn't have to face a true test.
However you chose to look at it, three sets of kids have been cheated because of the immature and misguided actions of a small group of adults.

Obama's Daughter in Hannah Montana
Obama's Daughters Invited To Star In Hannah Montana
Hey, dad, can we go meet Hannah Montana?
It pays when your father is about to become the president of America.
Malia, 10 and Sasha, 7, daughters of president-elect Barack Obama, have been invited to star in an episode of Hannah Montana - their favourite TV show. The invite came from Miley Cyrus's dad, Billy Ray.
Shortly after Billy Ray's invite, Disney Channel issued a statement, "We're pleased that Malia and Sasha are fans and, as long as their parents say it's OK, they are invited to the set of Hannah Montana and all Disney Channel shows, for a guest role or a visit, anytime."
No word on whether the girls will take up the offer. Obama's reps only have this to say, "It's a very generous invitation."
Recently, Obama's wife, Michelle, revealed that the highlight of their daughters' summer was getting the chance to meet their favourite band, Jonas Brothers.

While shale natural gas development has both positive and negative effects on bio-based chemical development, the good outweighs the bad, according to chemical industry analysts Katja Salmenkivi and Henna Jaaskelainen. Even though "both aim to reduce the impact of oil price fluctuations and seek lower cost production concepts, bio-based commodity chemicals face a market pull driven by global brand owners and leading retailers, which is non-existent in the conventional chemical value chain," they write. "Which chemicals succeed on a large scale will depend more on technology advancements, availability of funding and market pull rather than developments in shale gas," they add.

Southwest, which dominates domestic air travel, is expanding internationally. A new reservations system and international terminal are part of the carrier's emerging, global presence.

I'm SURE hoping this is a new bird for me. He's larger than a house finch. I'll post 3 photos. Thanks for your help.
CLOSED: Need Bird ID Please
Looks like a Dark Eyed Junco to me, although I don't get them here we only have Slate Colored Juncos.
I'd guess a cowbird.
I thought it looked like a darker version of your Juncos also.
Much bigger than a Junco, I thought cowbird too but was hoping not.
is female Brown-headed Cowbird. The males are black
See, I just keep hoping for something new (lol), I have seen a cowbird before but it was molting and looked very different.
Thanks Everyone!
"Larger than a house finch" ROFL I took that to mean *slightly larger*, not between house finch and emu.
Ok, ok, maybe not emu. Grackle?
Glad you got your ID, sorry it was a cowbird. Could have been worse I suppose.
still chuckling

Dominique Fombrun Carvonis Receives NABHOOD Award
Thursday July 24th, 2014 - 4:03PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
MIAMI—Haitian hotelier Dominique Fombrun Carvonis has received the NABHOOD Emerging Hotel Owner of the Year Award for 2014.
The 18th annual International African-American Hotel Ownership and Investment Summit and Trade Show, organized by NABHOOD, took place here.
Each year the award is presented to a hotelier who attracts investment interest in the hotel industry, and who has vested interest in the industry. Carvonis received the award for her efforts to launch the Hilton Garden Inn Port-au-Prince Louverture Airport in Haiti, according to NABHOOD President and CEO Andrew Ingraham.
The Hilton Garden Inn is scheduled to open in September 2016 and will mark the brand's introduction to the Caribbean, as well as the company's first hotel in Haiti. The upscale, full-service property is being built next to Visa Lodge Hotel, near Port-au-Prince's international airport. It will be the first internationally branded hotel by the airport, according to the company.
The hotel will feature 152 guestrooms, including eight suites, with LCD HD flat-screen TVs, an alarm clock with MP3 connectivity, a work desk and "hospitality center" with a mini-refrigerator and coffee maker.
Dining options will include a full-service restaurant and lobby lounge with full, cooked-to-order breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel will also feature the 24-hour Pavilion Pantry shop with ready-made meals, beverages and snacks. Recreational facilities include an outdoor swimming pool and a complimentary fitness center, featuring cardio and strength training equipment by Precor.
The Hilton Garden Inn Port-au-Prince Louverture Airport will also have access to meeting space with a pre-function area, three flexible meeting rooms and one boardroom. Signature Hilton Garden Inn brand attributes such as complimentary Wi-Fi and a 24-hour business center are also offered.
"Our joint efforts with Hilton Worldwide will help boost the environment of this industrial area, creating nearly 100 direct and 300 indirect jobs," stated Carvonis. "With Hilton Worldwide's comprehensive hotel training programs, we will develop skilled human resources and increase the standards and quality of service to our guests. This will ultimately enhance the prestige of our beloved Haiti."

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Excellent. I even screwed the recipe up by adding a whole 14 oz can of creamed corn. The flavor was perfect. Just the right blend of sweetness. It didn't set as well as it should have due to my mistake but we so enjoyed it. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for Spring 2012 PAC.

- Commodity prices as measured by the Total Return Bloomberg Commodities Index reaches new five-year lows, hit by a strengthening dollar, the prospect of a record grain harvest in the U.S. and concerns over weakening economic growth in China.
- The index has dropped more than 12% since the end of June amid falling prices for commodities such as crude oil, soybeans and gold.
- Even industrial metals, one of this year's best performers in commodities, have started to come under pressure; nickel has dropped 10% since the end of June, copper prices are at three-month lows, and iron ore trades below $80/ton for the first time since 2009.

- U.S. government forecasters predict a more than 65% chance for an El Niño weather phenomenon by the end of the year, a development that threatens to drive up prices for food and other staples.
- El Niño has a reputation for triggering sharp run-ups for prices in markets as diverse as nickel, coffee and soybeans, and commodities investors, traders and analysts are bracing for impact at a time when global supplies of many raw materials already are stretched.
- Global food prices - which at the start of 2014 were expected to be largely flat this year - could easily climb 15% to record highs in as a little as three months after an El Niño occurs, says World Bank economist James Baffes.
- But Société Générale analysts say it is miners, not farmers, who have the most to worry about; since 1991, nickel prices rose the most (13.9%) during El Niño years among commodities the bank tracks.

- China's rejection of genetically modified corn is becoming a big problem for exporters: In the first full tally of the impact, a U.S. grain industry group says the rejected shipments have totaled ~1.45M metric tons, far more than the 545K tons China has reported and the 900K tons that has circulated in news media.
- The rejected shipments have cost grain companies $427M from lost sales and reduced prices for China-bound shipments that must be resold elsewhere, and has affected the price of corn and soybeans, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for farmers.
- Big seed companies such as Syngenta (SYT), Monsanto (MON) and DuPont (DD) generally are aligned with traders such as Cargill and ADM in the desire to grow and sell as much grain as possible, but now the two groups are debating who should bear the costs for the rejected shipments.

- The U.S. Department of Agriculture is expected to lift its estimate today for the 2013 corn harvest (CORN) to 14.05B bushels from a prediction in December of 13.99B bushels.
- That would make last year's output the largest in U.S. history, surpassing the crop of 13.1B bushels in 2009.
- If confirmed, the estimates are likely to add pressure to corn prices, which hit a 3 1/2 year low of $4.08 a bushel yesterday before closing at $4.12. That was still down 1.2%, with the decline also due to falling exports. Corn has dropped 2.4% this year after plummeting 40% in 2013.
- Wheat prices suffered as well yesterday from poor overseas sales, hitting a two-year low of $5.785 a bushel before recovering a bit to close -0.8% at $5.8425.

- The U.S. government shutdown and the resulting lack of official statistics are prompting traders to shun agricultural commodities due to concerns about the vacuum of information and fears of a data dump that will hit markets hard when the shutdown ends.
- Likely to fall victim to the shutdown is the USDA's monthly Wasde crop production report, set for Oct. 11, which affects prices of grains and other agricultural commodities around the world.
- Analysts say concerns over a delay could lead to additional short-covering as speculative shorts look to take risk off the table; once the USDA resumes operations, a torrent of backlogged data could trigger a highly volatile reaction.

Sep. 30, 2013, 3:49 PM
- Corn (CORN -2.4%) and Soybeans (SOYB -3.2%) tumble - with corn hitting a 3-year low - after the USDA reports estimated corn stocks of 824M bushels, off 17% from a year ago, but far higher than trade estimates for 687M. Bean stocks are estimated at 141M bushels, also off 17% from a year ago, but 13% above estimates. Stocks still remain low, but these are old crop numbers, and forecasters are looking forward to a big crop this fall.
- Wheat (WEAT -2.7%) stocks of 1.85B bushels were slightly below expectations.
- Lower-than-expected feed usage and export demand were behind the big corn number - high prices had pig farmers substituting corn for wheat.
- Relevant grain ETFs: JJA, RJA, AGF, DBA, FUD, UAG, DAG, AGA, ADZ, JJS, TAGS, USAG, RGRA, JJG, GRU.
Aug. 12, 2013, 12:26 PM
- The grain pits party after the USDA lowers its corn production estimate to 13.76B bushels - still a whopper of a number, but off from 13.95B in July. Ending stocks are cut to 1.837B bushels.
- Bean production is cut to 3.255B bushels from 3.42B as acres planted are cut 500K and yield is lowered to 1.9 bushels/acre.
- No change is made to the wheat production estimate, but 25M bushels of extra exports cuts ending stocks by the same amount.
- December corn erases a sizable early loss, now up $0.15 to $4.69/bushel. CORN +1.5%.
- Grain ETFs: JJG +1.8%, GRU +2.5%.

Agricultural commodity prices (DBA) could fall a big 13% over the next year, says Goldman, predicting bumper crops across the globe. With weak demand and a record South American harvest (CORN, SOYB, WEAT) already in the books, it would require a major weather shock in the U.S. to keep prices near current levels.

The flow of key farm products (DBA) to the world from North and South America, highlighted by congestion at Brazilian ports and limited selling of crops by U.S. farmers, will keep global grain supplies tight despite expectations for big harvests later this year, Bunge (BG +6.5%) says after its Q1 report showed a 16% jump in agribusiness sales to $10.77B.| Apr. 25, 2013, 3:19 PM
Apr. 8, 2013, 10:22 AMSpeculators exited long commodity positions last week at the fastest pace since 2008, according to the CFTC. Of particular note is the quickest decline in agricultural holdings (DBA) ever, led by an exiting of corn (CORN) positions as the price dropped about $1/bushel. | Apr. 8, 2013, 10:22 AM

Agricultural commodities continue an underreported slide, with J.C. Parets noting corn is down for the 10th consecutive session. Earlier this week, the USDA estimated farm income in 2013 will be the highest in 40 years thanks to high prices. A weak harvest has little impact thanks to the use of crop-insurance programs.

The inaugural midday release of the USDA's January crop report doesn't disappoint, with corn reversing early losses and now sharply green as Dec. 1 stocks come in at 8.03B bushels vs. expectations of 8.21B. Ending stocks are estimated at a slim 602M bushels vs. expectations of 667M. Beans are down after production came in higher than expected. Wheat jumps on lower-than-anticipated planted acres.| Jan. 11, 2013, 12:13 PM

The grains continue a tough post-U.S. harvest run with news today of China cancelling another order - this one 11.6M bushels of American beans. In the meantime, better weather is improving prospects for South America's crops. Beans -1.1%, Corn -0.7%, Wheat -0.2%.| Jan. 3, 2013, 9:19 AM

Brazil's government go-ahead for Petrobras (PBR -3.6%) to raise its gasoline prices in early 2013 likely will raise demand for domestically produced sugar-based ethanol, but effects also could reach U.S. shores. Ethanol output in the U.S. is expected fall ~10% next year, and a robust export market could give Brazilian mills even more incentive to produce ethanol instead of sugar.| Dec. 21, 2012, 11:59 AM | 4 Comments

The nation's 15,000 skilled nursing facilities (SNF) play an essential role in our health care system, providing Medicare-covered skilled nursing and rehabilitative care each year for 1.4 million Medicare patients who have recently been discharged from acute care hospitals. In recent years, many analysts and other observers, including members of Congress, have expressed concern about the level of nursing staff in SNFs and the impact of inadequate staffing on the quality of care. GAO's analysis of available data shows that, in the aggregate, SNFs' nurse staffing ratios changed little after the increase in the nursing component of the Medicare payment took effect. Overall, SNFs' average nursing time increased by 1.9 minutes per patient day, relative to their average in 2000 of about 3 and one-half hours of nursing time per patient day. For most SNFs, increases in staffing ratios were small. Further, GAO found that the share of SNF patients covered by Medicare was not a factor in whether facilities increased their nursing time. Similarly, SNFs that had a total revenues considerably in excess of costs before the added payments took effect did not increase their staffing substantially more than others.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In 2000, the Congress increased the nursing component of Medicare's daily rate for skilled nursing facilities by l6.66 percent for the period April 1, 2001, through October 2, 2002. The Congress considered whether to reinstate it when it expired. Our analysis of available data showed that, in the aggregate, SNFs' nursing staff ratios changed little after the increase took effect. We recommended that the Congress consider our finding that this increase was not effective in raising nurse staffing when determining whether to reinstate the nursing component increase. We briefed the staffs of the committees of jurisdiction prior to the report's issuance. At each committee briefing, the staff expressed strong interest in our finding and recommendation, and indicated that our work would help them as their committee and the Congress considered Medicare payment legislation. A key health staff member for the House Ways and Means Committee stated that our work influenced the Ways and Means Committee and Chairman Thomas to decide against reinstating the increase in the nursing component. To date, the nursing component increase has not been reinstated.
Matter: GAO's analysis of available data on SNF nursing staff indicates that, in the aggregate, SNFs did not have significantly higher nursing staff time after the increase to the nursing component of Medicare's payment. Congress may wish to consider GAO's finding that increasing the Medicare payment rate was not effective in raising nurse staffing as it determines whether to reinstate the increase to the nursing component of the Medicare SNF rate.

Product Description
The Hanna Instruments HI 99161 is a portable pH and temperature meter for measuring semi-solids such as meats and cheeses with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), automatic one- or two-point calibration, a multilevel LCD screen with tutorial messages, a pH electrode with internal temperature sensor, and a battery error prevention system. A pH meter is commonly used to measure the pH of substance such as water, food, beer, or wine in laboratory, industrial, and food applications. The multilevel LCD screen displays the current measurement, the current temperature, and tutorial messages for calibration and setup. This meter has ATC for accurate readings in fluctuating temperatures. The meter also has one- or two-point automatic calibration with two sets of memorized buffers: standard (4.01, 7.01, and 10.01) or National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (4.01, 6.86, and 9.18). The meter comes with the FC 202D polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) body, pre-amplified pH electrode with internal temperature sensor, single open-junction to prevent clogging, viscolene electrolyte for fast response, conical tip for piercing semi-solids and food, Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) connector for a tight cable connection, and 1 m (3.3') cable.
The meter uses three 1.5V AAA batteries (included) for up to 1200 hours of continuous operation and can be set to turn off automatically after eight minutes of non-use to extend battery life. The battery error prevention system alerts when battery power is low and displays battery percentage on startup. The HI 99161 portable meter also comes with a buffer solution sachets, electrode cleaning sachets, a hard carrying case, and instructions.

A pH meter, also called a sensor or tester, is a device used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. A pH meter has either a portable or a benchtop body. Many portable meters are handheld devices. Some testers have an internal sensor, and may have a tip and body that fit inside of a container for measurement. A meter is commonly used in many different environments from laboratories to field research and manufacturing facilities. Researchers, manufacturers, and hobbyists use a pH meter in aquaculture, agricultural, wine-making, and water-testing, and for scientific applications. Some pH meters may measure additional parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity (also called electro-conductivity or EC), temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, resistivity, or oxygen reduction potential (ORP)/mV.
Hanna Instruments manufactures analytical instrumentation and supplies, including pH meters, electrodes, chemical reagents, and buffer solutions. The company, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Woonsocket, RI, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

text: 6. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Year released: 2011 Overall U.S. box office gross: $381 million Like Star-Wars, the Harry Potter film series was a beloved piece of childhood fiction that likely stretched on longer than it had to. Also like Star Wars, by the time the last installment came around, it was clearly time to go. How much had all the students of Hogwarts grown since the first film was released in 2001? A year after playing the namesake wizardry school student in 2011, Daniel Radcliffe was cast as a troubled father in 2012's The Woman In Black. Part 2 was a fond farewell, but it was a tougher, scruffier last look at childhood for some than for others. Prev 5 of 11 Next
