Quake 4
Big, loud, and beautiful.
Certainly first-person shooters have come a long way since id unleashed the first Quake on the world back in 1996. At the time, running and gunning was all we needed, especially when delivered in a 3D environment as astounding as the original game's. Quake was the cutting edge at the time--nothing came close--and for years "Quake killer" was the moniker applied to any game that even dared to compete.
Now, of course, in the post-Half-Life world, with shooters taking the genre into all sorts of innovative directions, you could argue that the world doesn't really need Quake anymore. We have the deep multiplayer brilliance of Battlefield 2, the brutally wicked A.I. of F.E.A.R. (see review, page 96), and the squad-based sophistication of Brothers in Arms. So, seriously, do we really need to pick up our shotguns and trundle down dark corridors after the strogg--again?
We Could Be Heroes
My answer is a qualified yes. For Quake 4, id Software hired longtime companion Raven Software (Heretic, Hexen, Elite Force) to design a single-player campaign, and this move definitely paid off. Single player presents a back-to-basics thrill ride of a game that, in its simplicity, will appeal far beyond the hardcore shooter crowd, with well-paced levels, a good story, a few genuinely creepy moments, and--as usual--some of the best graphics in all of PC gaming. Tougher and more innovative games are out there, for sure. But Quake 4--big, loud, and beautiful--does exactly what it was meant to do.
Picking up the plotline from Quake II (1999's Quake III: Arena was multiplayer only), Quake 4 puts you back on the planet Stroggos in the 21st century, where Earth wages a desperate counterattack against the evil cybernetic strogg, who--like most evil space aliens--seek to conquer our humble planet. You play as generic Marine beefcake Matthew Kane, a square-jawed hero with the magical ability to carry multiple guns at once and switch instantaneously between them even while crawling through sewer pipes.
It's strictly old-school stuff. Level after level, you twist and turn through the labyrinthine strogg base--aided sometimes by NPC allies, but most oftentimes solo--gunning down hordes of monsters and encountering the occasional puzzle or two on the way to the next boss. Within this limited format, however, Raven gets it right, with frantic mayhem broken up by suspenseful moments of quiet and a uniformly satisfying collection of weapons--many of which get upgraded as the game proceeds--to help you get the job done.
Unlike F.E.A.R., however, the enemy A.I. here is slow (to be generous), and anyone with even rudimentary circle-strafing abilities can have most of the moronic strogg confused and helpless (and then dead) in seconds. Only when the game throws dozens of enemies at you at once does it really get challenging--and even then it doesn't come close to the challenges posed by F.E.A.R. And Raven's attempts to expand the basic gameplay with a few scenes of vehicular combat, while admirable, enjoy only mild success, coming off more like chapters in an arcade rail-shooter from eight years ago than anything a modern shooter should have.
Oh You Pretty Things
But what it may lack in challenge, Quake 4 gives back in atmosphere and looks, thanks to id's Doom 3 engine. No, eye candy is not a substitute for gameplay, by any means, but here, almost every single room is a wonder to behold, with stunning displays of light and shadow and painstaking structural detail--and it adds up. I'm no graphics whore, even remotely, yet the craft that went into creating this world is amazing and does keep you moving forward, just to see what's coming next (F.E.A.R. looks plain and sterile in comparison).
The graphics also add to the game's overall gruesomeness--Quake 4's creepier than Doom 3. The now-notorious "stroggification" cut-scene, in which you watch as your body falls under a gruesome butcher's knife, is one of the single most disturbing scenes I've ever seen in a game, and the mangled and tortured bodies attached to walls, hanging from hooks, and spewing out of machines as you make your way through the game give Quake 4 more of an emotional impact than anyone has a right to expect. You see this stuff and want those strogg dead.
Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am
It's easy enough to dis Quake 4 for what it doesn't have, especially with so many other more sophisticated shooters out there. But one doesn't need to apologize for it, either, because it's a fast, solid ride from beginning to end--kind of like going to the movies. Though we may get a more satisfying intellectual experience and feeling of self-worth watching the latest existential French romance, at times, we just want Con Air and a garbage can full of popcorn. That's what Quake 4 is. And I mean that in the nicest possible way./Jeff Green
Whither Multiplayer?
Oddly enough, the aspect of Quake 4 to get the shortest shrift is what used to be the hallmark of the series: multiplayer. While Quake III: Arena is multiplayer only, here it appears almost as an afterthought, or even a different game (where are the vehicles from the single-player game?). Some of the Quake III maps simply get rehashed in the Doom 3 engine. And while those maps are awesome--and admittedly still fun to play in their new incarnations--well, we've seen 'em already. Add to that the rather criminal lack of bots (not that any Quake game has ever had them, but come on, it's 2005) and the complete absence of any new gameplay modes, and you get the feeling that the designers either ran out of time or were just lazy. Straight-up deathmatching never gets old, and these Quake maps are as good as it gets--but still, given that this series used to live and die by its multiplayer strengths, it's hard not to feel disappointed.

Very nice
This story sounds lot like a fairy tale or myth, more mystery than facts. Shadows and sudden images suggests sins. Maybe there no general son involved, or demons. Just insanity of one sister pulling a knife on another. The monster reaching for the sister at the end may not symbolize revenge. The monster may only be angry. I hope this story continues, if not it remains a tale where darkness, or innocence, could have been anywhere.
Aside from my examinations, I will nick pick at one gross detail. Bones are actually beige, or a tan color. It's a process in labs that makes them white.
Are teeth suppose to be white....maybe I'll google that. :p
Absolutely original, the voice acting was impeccable, the quality of it reflected the mood very well, and the paper animation style was a very fitting compliment to the dark, yet mysterious story. The animation itself flowed very smoothly, and my favorite part was indeed the music which didn't draw away from the animation. I would say this is comparable, if not better than the work of Katy Towell. Fantastic, loved every minute of it.
I love Yann Tiersen
But seriously, after watching this, I feel it deserves daily first, not second.
I love the style, it all looks very dark and evil, and the entire atmosphere is only enhanced by the voicing. In spite of the varying volume levels. It could definitely do with some refining and finetuning, but with a story like this, it's bound for greatness. Love it.
Although I didn't finish watching the flash, for reasons better left unspoken, I can tell that a lot of effort was put into creating this flash. The plot seems weighted and original, and the music fit closely with the events at hand. However, if I MUST be critical about your work, I was dissatisfied by the level of quality of the animation you showed. The flashes of hell visions and artwork were clean and detailed, but the most actual animation I saw was the crowd or groups of people quivering in place. Nevertheless, I am pleased with your work and await with baited breath for the chance to finish this and view your work in the future. Keep up the good work!

Calif. police defend video of violent arrest
Porfirio Santos-Lopez was admittedly drunk and high on methamphetamine while resisting arrest
By Joseph Serna
Los Angeles Times
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Long Beach police are defending the actions of officers shown on a video in a violent encounter with a suspect.
Sgt. Aaron Eaton told KTLA-TV that in the incident recorded in the video 46-year-old Porfirio Santos-Lopez was uncooperative when police tried to arrest him near Locust Avenue and South Street in Long Beach on Monday.
"That individual seemed to be irrational. He was combative," Eaton told KTLA. "In the video that is on YouTube, he can be seen kicking at the officers."
In the nearly five-minute video (note: vulgar language) Santos-Lopez can be seen lying on his back in the middle of the street surrounded by Long Beach police officers.
Officers then use a Taser on Santos-Lopez and strike him repeatedly in the legs and other parts of his body with batons. At times, Santos-Lopez shouts back, but it's unclear what he's saying.
Eaton told reporters Tuesday that officers were trying to get Santos-Lopez onto his stomach but he initially did not cooperate.
Police were sent to the area in response to two 911 calls about Santos-Lopez, Eaton told KNBC-TV.
Another video, taken before police arrived, showed Santos-Lopez arguing with two men and punching one of them, KNBC reported.
Santos-Lopez was eventually arrested. NBC reported that Santos-Lopez admitted to police that he was drunk and high on methamphetamine. He was treated at a hospital for a broken arm and received stitches, KNBC reported.

It is only proposed legislation and is not law yet. It may be changed

You are a little ahead of your horses! This is just a proposed bill, the final form that it will take before it becomes law no one knows at this time, not even the gang of 8. Ask this question again in about 3 or 4 months.
Immigration Attorney
Yes, this is the purpose of the Immigration Reform, i.e. to provide a path for legalization of the undocumented aliens that are present in the US and that will meet certain proscribed eligibility criteria. However, you must wait until this bill becomes a law, and if and when it does, I highly recommend that you seek experienced immigration lawyer for assistance.

Taiwan Stocks: China Airlines, EVA Air, Quanta Computer, Tatung
Shares of the following companies had unusual moves in Taiwan trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of the 1:30 p.m. close in Taipei.
The Taiex Index gained 43.03 points, or 0.6 percent, to 7,535.88.
Airlines: EVA Airways Corp. (2618 TT) surged 6.8 percent to NT$17.35, the biggest increase since April 7. China Airlines Ltd. (2610 TT) jumped 6.8 percent to NT$14.20. The International Air Transport Association yesterday raised its 2011 forecast for global airline profits by 73 percent.
Quanta Computer Inc. (2382 TT) dropped 2.6 percent to NT$55.50. The laptop maker will retire more than 1,000 workers at its Linkou, Taiwan plant, after poor sales of Research In Motion Ltd.'s Playbook tablet computers, the Taipei-based Commercial Times reported without saying where it got the information. The Linkou plant had over 3,000 workers making Playbook in the beginning of the year, according to the report. Carol Hsu, a spokeswoman for the company, didn't immediately answer calls to her office.
Tatung Co. (2371 TT) gained 3.3 percent to NT$12.40. The company's land development project in Taipei may be worth more than NT$10 billion ($335 million), the China Times cited analysts as saying. The estimate for the value of the project is speculation by the media, the company said in a statement to the stock exchange.

Cost Still Vexes Savannah Air Travelers

A new report from the US Transportation Department doesn't come as a surprise to Savannah-area travelers who drive to Jacksonville or Charleston to fly cheaply. The dilemma is partly due to the city's "not-too-small, not-too-big" market size.

Target Responds to Jason Wu Vultures at Midtown Miami, Says More Pieces Will Be In Stock
If you lined up to get some pieces from high-end designer Jason Wu's limited edition budget-priced line at the Midtown Miami Target store on Saturday morning, you were stymied by a couple who quickly swooped in and bought the entire stock. Riptide has reached out to Target, and while they didn't address the incident directly, the chain promises that more items from the collection will continue to "trickle" into stores. Target also claims it is reevaluating the policies that let the couple buy most of the collection in the first place.
Here's the statement we received from Target:
Response to the launch of Jason Wu for Target has been incredibly strong. Many of our stores are sold out of the collection or running low. The collection will not be restocked; however, product will continue to trickle in through the chain and online at Target.com in the coming days and weeks. We'd encourage guests to check their local Target store and Target.com regularly if they'd like to purchase a piece of Jason Wu for Target.
Regarding product limitations, we tested product limitations online at Target.com and are encouraged by the positive feedback we've received from our guests. We did not enforce product limitations in our stores. The retail landscape is constantly evolving and we realize that consumer appetite for our limited-edition design collections has changed, most notably with last fall's launch of Missoni for Target. We will continue to look at all aspects of our limited-edition programming to ensure we're offering guests the best possible experience, both in our stores and online at Target.com
The practice of people swiping up large quantities of special budget-priced designer collections has become quite widespread. Often those clothes wind up on eBay for marked up prices. Despite only launching on Saturday, there are just under 12,000 Jason Wu for Target items currently listed on eBay.
H&M, another store noted for its designer collaborations, has installed strict rules for customers shopping the collection. For its Versace collection H&M only allowed customers to buy two pieces of any particular item.

Our test with Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 is performed with a raw two hour AVI file. It is then compressed into DivX format using the latest version codec. We measure the time it takes to encode and then record CPU usage.
Premiere Elements 3 puts both memory sets at equal terms in overclocked and stock speeds; there are no advantages over each. If you're planning to overclock further, the Geil can go higher than the OCZ which will reduce overall times.

Cee Lo Green at the Orange Drive Music Festival Dec. 30-Jan. 1
These days, ex-Goodie Mob member Cee Lo Green is the Liberace of hip-pop. He wears sequined jumpsuits with effortless flair. He can't be without his baby grand for more than 24 hours. And he totally loves South Beach.
But while the King of Bling (as Wladziu Valentino Liberace was nicknamed) preferred to hang out at swanky spots like the Fontainebleau, Loberace (as Cee Lo has dubbed himself) is a man of the streets and the beach. Hence, his headlining gig at this weekend's Orange Drive Miami Beach Music Festival.
It ain't just Cee Lo leading the Orange Bowl Committee's three-day street fest and beach party, though. From Friday through Sunday, football fans and sun junkies will also get wet and sweaty with former Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz, smooth crooner Ne-Yo, supershort superproducer Jermaine Dupri, DJ (and girlfriend) to the stars Samantha Ronson, and official Miami Heat music man DJ Irie.
We anticipate a couple of last-minute additions to this A-list artist lineup. But c'mon. Who could be glitzier than Loberace and his sequin-studded, lime-green, fur-fringed cape?

Like the MIR space station that orbited the earth for 15 years, miRs (microRNAs or miRNAs) orbit the circulatory system of mammals. miRNAs are small (20-23-nucleotide) RNA molecules, with primary regulatory functions in controlling expression levels of cellular messenger RNAs (mRNAs). The details of miRNA generation and targeting to cellular mRNAs are described in a recent comprehensive review.[1] In brief, miRNAs act in conjunction with the RNA-induced silencing complex to target the 3′ untranslated region of cellular mRNAs, resulting in mRNA degradation. Alternatively, miRNAs can bind to mRNAs and inhibit translation. miRNAs also appear to have other functions in the context of infectious disease. For example, herpes viruses encode miRNAs that regulate pathogenesis and latent viral reservoirs.[2] For hepatitis C virus (HCV), the cellular miRNA-122 has been shown to bind to HCV RNA to enhance RNA abundance,[3, 4] although miR-122-independent replication of HCV has been reported on.[5] Thus, miRNAs may also serve as host cell factors to modulate virus replication. Interestingly, despite its ability to enhance HCV replication, miR-122 levels decrease with progression of HCV-induced liver disease.[6, 7]
Recent studies demonstrate that miRNAs are also associated with various diseases, including cancer. Because a single miRNA can regulate the expression of many cellular mRNAs,[8] deregulated expression of only a few miRNAs has the capacity to significantly perturb cellular processes that lead to disease. As such, miRNAs have become attractive targets for novel approaches to control various disease processes. Additionally, because circulating miRNAs are also found in human serum and plasma, they are touted as candidate biomarkers for many diseases.
In this issue of Hepatology, Shrivastava et al.[9] screened the plasma and serum of HCV-infected patients to identify miRNAs that correlated with different stages of histologically assessed liver disease severity and during the establishment of chronic HCV infection. miRNAs were characterized using a commercially available assay that measures expression of 84 miRNAs, which were subsequently validated by real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
In the first phase of the study, the team compared serum miRNA profiles among HCV-infected patients with fibrosis versus healthy volunteers. A total of 44 subjects with chronic HCV infection were studied, including 33 with early-stage fibrosis (F0-F2) and 11 with late-stage fibrosis (F3-F4). Twenty subjects with non-HCV fibrosis and 22 healthy subjects served as controls. In the second phase, plasma miRNA profiles of 10 healthy volunteers were compared to 29 patients with acute HCV infection, 18 who progressed to chronic HCV infection and 11 who spontaneously resolved the infection. Subjects were recruited from St. Louis University and Massachusetts General Hospital.
The investigators reported that serum miR-20a and miR-92a levels were significantly higher in HCV+ subjects with fibrosis, compared to healthy volunteers or non-HCV-associated liver disease. Moreover, the abundance of these two miRNAs was increased in patients with both acute and chronic infection, as compared to healthy volunteers. However, degree of enhancement of miR-20a and miR-92a in HCV infection was independent of viral load. In longitudinal samples, both miR-92a and miR-20a remained elevated and relatively stable during transition from acute to chronic infection, whereas miR-92a decreased as patients spontaneously resolved their acute infection. Receiver operating characteristic analyses suggested that these miRNAs discriminated infected from noninfected patients, HCV+ patients with or without fibrosis, acute versus noninfected, and chronic versus noninfected subjects. Finally, miR-20a and miR-92a were induced in cultured hepatoma cells after in vitro HCV infection.
Although miR-92a and many other miRNAs are implicated in liver disease in animal models and in humans,[1, 10] the article from Shrivastava et al. is the first report describing an association of miR-20a with HCV-associated fibrosis (Fig. 1). Other recent studies have shown that miRNAs associated with inflammation, such as miR-155, a positive regulator of tumor necrosis factor alpha production, is up-regulated in serum and circulating monocytes from patients with HCV infection,[11] that miR-199 and miR-200 families in liver are associated with progression of fibrosis,[12] that hepatic miR-21 correlates with viral load, fibrosis, and levels of serum liver transaminases, possibly through induction of transforming growth factor beta signaling,[6] and that HCV infection is associated with decreased hepatic miR-29, which is associated with induction of extracellular matrix proteins by hepatic stellate cells.[13]
Additional studies from different and larger patient cohorts are required to validate results on miR-20a and miR-92a. Future work should evaluate more broad-spectrum miRNA profiling on larger sample sizes. Clinical questions for future study include how well miR-20a and miR-92a discriminate HCV liver disease from liver disease by other factors, including hepatitis B virus, alcohol, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Questions for basic researchers will be to determine how acute HCV infection leads to changes in serum miRNA levels. What are the cellular pathways that generate circulating miRNAs? Are cellular pathogen recognition receptors, such as retinoic acid inducible gene I and Toll-like receptor (TLR)3, known sensors of HCV infection in hepatocytes,[14, 15] or TLRs 2, 7, and 8, which appear to sense HCV RNA or proteins in immune cells,[16] or C1q complement receptor, a sensor of HCV core protein,[17] involved in miRNA induction? Furthermore, what cellular mRNAs are being regulated by these HCV-induced miRNAs? Which host cell types are being targeted, and importantly, how do host miRNA responses influence HCV infection and contribute to pathogenesis of HCV liver disease? Studies of this nature will undoubtedly keep miRs in scientific and clinical orbit for years to come as scientists continue to define the mechanisms for miRNA-associated liver disease as well as prognostic values of circulating miRNAs.

Reporter: Maxine McKew
MAXINE McKEW: Officially in the job for only two days, there's been no honeymoon for new Health Minister Tony Abbott.Faced with a deepening medical indemnity crisis, Mr Abbott met again with representatives from the AMA in Canberra today in an effort to get specialists on the east coast to continue to stay at their posts in public hospitals.Unsatisfied with last Friday's offer of an 18-month moratorium on the contentious IBNR levy, the AMA is now calling for taxpayers to pay for all medical costs awarded by the courts and for a no-fault scheme for the catastrophically injured.Without a commitment to comprehensive change, say the doctors, public hospitals will face a crippling strain as operations are cancelled or delayed further.Tony Abbott, after extensive talks with the AMA today, has joined me now from Canberra.Minister, welcome to you tonight.In your talks today have you been able to take any of those spikes out of the olive branch that the AMA's Bill Glasson has been requesting all week since last Friday?TONY ABBOTT, HEALTH MINISTER: Max, I had some constructive dialogue with the AMA today and I want that dialogue to continue.What happened today was that I indicated to the AMA that the Government was pushing ahead with the changes we announced last Friday with the 18-month moratorium on IBNR levies over $1,000 and with the policy review process to try to put in place an affordable, sustainable medical indemnity insurance system.MAXINE McKEW: But the moratorium has satisfied no-one.I mean, Bill Glasson was saying today he wants that withdrawn.TONY ABBOTT: What we were talking about today was what could be done to ensure that these threatened resignations don't go ahead and I'm very happy to talk to the doctors about what can be done.But the point I made today was that there will be no blank cheque.There will be no blank cheque, even for as credible and worthwhile an organisation as the AMA.MAXINE McKEW: But can you confirm that what you are considering right now is withdrawing all of the levies that are out there at the moment?TONY ABBOTT: Certainly, no new levy notices, no new levy notices will be distributed until after the policy review process has been completed.MAXINE McKEW: OK.That's no new levies.What of the levies out there already?Will they be withdrawn?TONY ABBOTT: All the levies over $1,000 will be withdrawn and no new levy notices will go out to anyone until after this policy review process has been completed.MAXINE McKEW: And those under $1,000?No change there?Because the AMA was suggesting otherwise.TONY ABBOTT: Well, we've never promised that people won't have to pay any levies.We've just said that no-one will have to pay a levy of more than $1,000.MAXINE McKEW: What about staff specialists?Is there an exception for them as well?TONY ABBOTT: Well, that's a good point, and certainly the only reason why most staff specialists were in UMP was in case they needed legal advice in, for argument's sake, disciplinary hearings.So I think that's a fair point that the doctors are making ... that there is no need for staff specialists who don't earn private practice income to be covered by the IBNR levy system.MAXINE McKEW: Nonetheless you've given ground today, but in the Parliament today you were saying no ultimatums.TONY ABBOTT: That's right.We aren't responding to ultimatums.We won't respond to ultimatums from anyone.MAXINE McKEW: No, but the ground has shifted, hasn't it, since last Friday?TONY ABBOTT: The thing is, if people can make a reasonable case, a reasonable government will listen.But, in the end, the decisions that we make will be based on the national interest, not the medical interest.Now, if a little bit of finetuning here and a little bit of finetuning there, if addressing some cases which on reflection don't seem to be appropriately within the system, if that's going to help, sure, we're ready to help.MAXINE McKEW: Why didn't that reflection dawn last Friday?TONY ABBOTT: Well, last Friday, I wasn't even sworn in.With each day that goes by, Maxine, my knowledge of the system and my appreciation of this whole medical indemnity issue deepens.MAXINE McKEW: I would have to say some would also say tonight that you're lending a far kinder ear to professionals than you ever did to unionists.TONY ABBOTT: Well, it's a different context and the thing about this current issue with public hospital specialists, particularly in NSW, is that, while it is not a crisis in our hospitals today, it certainly will be a crisis in some hospitals if these resignations go ahead.Now, I think it's important that the Federal Government does what it can to try to ensure that those resignations don't go ahead.But, believe me, Maxine, it will be what we can do in the national interest, not just in the medical interest.MAXINE McKEW: Well, are you confident that the dialogue you've had today will stop the stampede to the door?You know what's happened very near to your own electorate ... at Mona Vale hospital in Sydney this week ... 80 per cent of the visiting medical officers there have talked about resigning this week.TONY ABBOTT: Yeah, I understand that.And, Maxine, I can understand why the medical profession feels angry and alienated because the medical profession feels that the way things were going it may be almost unaffordable to continue in medical practice, and that's the last thing anyone wants, certainly not dedicated, sincere, conscientious and idealistic professionals.They don't want that.So the Government, for its part, is trying to do what it can as quickly as it can to put in place a sustainable and affordable system.MAXINE McKEW: Is that why the PM I gather made an appearance in your office today while the talks were under way?I mean, what did he say?Sort this out, whatever it takes?TONY ABBOTT: The PM, as you can imagine, is very interested in ensuring that we do have an affordable, sustainable system, that doctors do stay at their posts, that they do continue to treat their patients in the best and finest traditions of the medical profession.But obviously decisions of this magnitude and this urgency do need to involve the PM.So you can take it from me, Maxine, that I've been talking to the PM several times today.MAXINE McKEW: He's very involved then?TONY ABBOTT: Of course he is.I mean, he's the PM.He's got to be involved.MAXINE McKEW: Alright, for that, Minister, thanks very much for joining us tonight.TONY ABBOTT: Thanks, Maxine.

Skip to comments.I was Trayvon Martin the day I came to America
Posted on 07/12/2013 3:07:02 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Kingwood, Texas-My first stop in America was a little town called Brenham, TX in 1979.
It is home of the Texas famous Blue Bell Ice Cream and Blinn Junior College. My ticket to study engineering in America was based on a music scholarship, but thats another subject.
I was a wet behind-the-ears black kid that spoke with an accent in a country town. The black American kids were suspicious of me, the white American kids were curious, and the Hispanic American kids giggled when I spoke to them in Spanish. I hung out with Peruvian, Argentinian, Guatemalan, and Venezuelan friends most of that year. We were all strangers in a new land away from our parents for the first time who shared one thing in common we could all communicate in Spanish and when strange things happened we could enter our cocoon. It is amazing how quickly and quietly human beings adapt.
We were walking down one of the few commercial streets in Brenham when some guys in a pickup truck just started shouting "n****r" and, if I remember correctly, something about being in the wrong part of town. It was directed solely at me because, while we were all Latinos walking down that street, I was the only black one....
(Excerpt) Read more at ireport.cnn.com ...
How many neighborhood watchmen has the author "grounded and pounded"?
when some guys in a pickup truck just started shouting "n****r" ...
OK, you've got the standard meme down pat. Texas. The pick-up truck. The racial slur. All standard, boiler-plate.
And that's why I don't buy any of this narrative.
Funny, I knew a white Venezuelan kid back high school who didn't "fit in" either.
I would describe him the way the author describes himself -- as a "wet behind-the-ears
black kid that spoke with an accent in a country town." In fact, he not only had an accent, but he could barely speak English at all, and didn't seem eager to learn.
I felt sorry for the kid because he seemed lonely and isolated, but a lot of the problem was language. Not skin color.
Most Americans are happy to associate with immigrants who learn to speak English well, no matter what color they are.
It's very Hollywood, isn't it?
Sorry, CNN, ain't buy in' it.
Shove it.
I wonder if he ever sucker punched anyone.
I was Trayvon Martin the day I came to America
***The hell he was. He came from a different company, a different culture. I doubt he took photos of himself as a gangsta, nor texted about fightin' nor any of the other trouble Trayvon found himself in. Trayvon started this fight, and it did not end well for him.
The author mentioned that he had 5 jobs in 5 years because "he didn't take any crap." It might have been because he was an arrogant a**hole.
Yeah, I wouldn't think he'd want to associate himself with a thug.
You know, maybe in Texas in 1979, things were different. But in MY part of town, which is a very diverse metro area, NO ONE yells that kind of stuff out their window ...to anyone ...anymore.
It really just doesn't happen anymore. Maybe it used to. But things REALLY, REALLY have changed. We've elected a black president, for God's sake.
These people WANT to remain stuck in the past. They could just big big boys and girls and laugh at it, but they choose to hang onto it, like a prized childhood momento.
Let GO of it, already!! No one calls anyone N*gger anymore except blacks speaking to other blacks. We white folks know our place.
Another victim of racist Amerikkka, boo hoo hoo...
I don't believe a word of this. Brenham is a fairly typical east Texas town, though its more in East Central Texas. By typical, I mean there is a huge minority population there and in surrounding areas. He's acting like people there had never been around Blacks, which is totally untrue.
In 1972, a fight at a predominately black high school was broken up, and the crowd went to the bus stop. The bus stop where I, and 3 others were. Even though I am part Cherokee, they assumed I was white.
Long story short, the 4 of us were attacked by a mob of 30-50 black males.
According to CNN, I can now hate all blacks forever.
CNN's version of the bouncy story?
I graduated HS in 1979 from a small town in TX (pop. 15K at the time) and I NEVER heard anyone use the word "N****r" there. Not once. Not ever. I don't think it was common. If someone did drive down the street yelling that in 1979, he was probably drunk and also regarded as the village idiot.
Should have titled the story; I was Jayson Blair the day I came to America. Egbert went to the Stephen Glass school of journalism.
And now you are a world class loser
Sounds like he's a black Hispanic like George Zimmerman.
With a little luck Egberto Willies will meet a 'Trayvon Martin' face to face soon.
Yeah, I think he and Trayvon had something in common, namely knee jerk reactions to race issues.
In this case, this guy is making all kinds of unfounded assumptions that TM was a little angel and acted as one, and the big bad racist attacked him.
Note he is not too subtly being racist about Hispanics, saying lighter skinned Hispanics got better treatment than he did.
Hmm, how plausible is that, racist whites got all nasty with him while welcoming his other South American brethren into their hearts?
The facts of the TM case are that the racism has been coming from the black community, and of course all leftists.
IF reporters cared about real racism, they would have watched this trial and honestly told the American people that the evidence is Z got jumped and acted in self defense.
I did watch the trial and it was an incredibly non existent case by the prosecution. 80% of the prosecution case was exonerating Zimmerman. That is a fact not based on race.
Did he call "white" Hispanics creepy ass crackers, smoke weed, and wear a hoodie too? What a load of BS.
Yea, its a total BS story.
Come about Tuesday, many of us may be George Zimmerman.
He was free to leave....Still is.
If it's so tough for Egberto here in America, why doesn't he just go home. Problem solved. I'm sure the rest of America would be okay with that.
Even if the story is true, so what?
A couple of years ago an idiot in a pickup truck called me a "damn faggot" because I was riding a bicycle. The event did not transform my view of America. It didn't even make me angry. I took it for what it was: a stupid statement by a stupid man who knew nothing about me, and who was perhaps unsure of his own sexuality.
Had Egberto Willies been on my bike, the event would have so traumatized him that he would have spent the next week crying in his bedroom, wailing about Homophobic America.
Screw him. Like most of the left's supposed victims, he's really just spoiled rotten. If you can't learn to ignore the idiots, you are one.
Very very Hollywood - so freakin' pat that one must wonder how much is fact and how much fiction. Experience says the guy had an urge to jump on the travesty of the trial and make up his own story in hopes of getting TV interviews.
Egberto, if you was Saint Skittles, you'd be a dead thug.
Stop writing stupid crap.
Love, the Fieldmarshal.
I remember the day I learned about racism in America.
There I was just a white country boy, moving to a red brick neighborhood known as the Western Heights projects. While I tried to fit in, I was soon known as I weird white guy, that didn't speak ghetto, or buy crack. Soon the nasty prostitutes on the hill knew me as the guy that had no money and would ostracize me. Some of the folks considered me an oddity, the guy that would answer the door with pistol in hand and a funny little smile.
I was happy to learn that racism grew in such places, and yet I didn't have to learn hatred of anyone for their skin color but their individual characteristics. Nasty, lazy, hostile, pernicious, no account, worthless individuals, whose ways and deeds, resembled animals, with the lust and hungers of a beast.
I am glad that the dreadful time there ended, without me having to shoot anyone or getting shot. My first hand account revealed a deep seated animosity toward anything strong and good, but not within myself, but within a segment of the population bent on self destruction. Woe to the postman that brings the checks without a police escort. Ross Perots giant sucking sound doesn't only come from Mexico, but also from the heart of darkness in every large city across America.

Been that way since 3dc v3. When using png its hard to edit in pshop with that gray color everywhere, especially overlaying it on top of other graphics. The rgb should support transparency in png.
Attention Png doesn't have alpha channel when opened in photoshop. So we need it to be transparent in the rgb channel. Just please add it Andrew. The png files always had a gray color in the transparent areas in the rgb channel which is wrong.
geo_n replied to AbnRanger's topic in Off Topic and General CG RelatedJust watched your vid. If this is the way you want to work then its up to you. Using a background constraint in 3dcoat looks ok. We just prefer to make changes to a base mesh in zbrush like this video. In 3dcoat the tweak room can edit the mesh to an extent and then you can paint displacements back in paintroom but imho zbrush way is just easier. Is it because zbrush uses a poly based sculpting toolset and not an image based sculpting toolset? Maybe. Maybe the 3dc applink can make it easier but I haven't tried it for years if mesh edits are linked not just textures. But then again if zbrush works already in this case, no need to change unless there's something vastly superior. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I just know its very simple and direct to do things in zbrush in this case, in this part of the pipeline. I don't need to go through different rooms.
Andrew can you check attachment? Why is there always a gray bg color where it should be transparent? Very easy to see if you export out png. Its never been fixed. Also that black boxes Javis mentioned has always been there since 3dcoat 3. Don't think it has been fixed.
geo_n replied to AbnRanger's topic in Off Topic and General CG RelatedThe way we work is still use a base mesh in 3dmax, maya, etc, like rigged character, and then bring that to zbrush and sculpt on it and then export out all the maps. The quality of the displacements and normalmaps is great using zbrush multires quad sculpting. Base mesh is intact. For 3dcoat we can't get the same detail using image based sculpting and the experience is not so smooth sculpting detailed displacments. We hardly use the sculpt room and its surface tools unless its concepts and doodles. There's no way to work with sculpt room that gives us flexibility like zbrush to seamlessly work with a base mesh. One way workflow with 3dcoat sculpting. Once you import in sculpt room your base mesh is useless. For painting 3dcoat is a must have though.
Texture export with transparency has always been a problem for me, too. This is since 3dcoat 3. There's always a light gray color in the background. Turning off layer 0 has always produced black boxes for me, too, so I never used it. Using 3dcoat 4.5.19 for export 3dc4.zip
geo_n replied to AbnRanger's topic in Off Topic and General CG RelatedNot without quad based multi res poly sculpting. People who use 3dcoat, zbrush still use zbrush for sculpting because its just more powerful than 3dcoats image based sculpting. Modo offers both sculpting methods. Its trying to catch up. Maybe modo 12 it would be as fast as 3dcoat painting and powerful enough to do multires sculpting like zbrush.
geo_n replied to AbnRanger's topic in Off Topic and General CG RelatedThat would have been vulcan. Works on all os platforms. But Apple is not going there anymore. I think Andrew should wait a bit before doing big changes like this that could backfire later. Maybe its better to work on multires sculpting in the tweak room.
Substance painter has this problem last time I tried it. I hope they change it. I couldn't paint on anything unless I choose the specific uv set. Makes the workflow really slow.
geo_n replied to AbnRanger's topic in Off Topic and General CG RelatedHere's some posts about apis for dcc appz. http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=34&t=109784&page=0 Modo seems to be going to the direction of metal slowly.
geo_n replied to AbnRanger's topic in Off Topic and General CG RelatedVulcan is based off of amd mantle api donated to khronos. I think a lot of things will break with opengl once they move from opengl to vulcan. Then opengl would just be legacy. Why would Andrew drop dx? Windows is the biggest os platform. And as you said, appz developed for dx usually perform better than opengl. I'm sure the opposite is true if they code opengl version first. Problem is its dx that gets created first for appz. Its not an easy task supporting all these standards. Autodesk as gigantic as it is haven't developed a 3dmax linux version. Modo linux I think is also not well supported.
geo_n replied to AbnRanger's topic in Off Topic and General CG RelatedThey're API's so they can be deprecated and discontinue support. Khronos develops opengl but moving to vulkan. But Apple doesn't seem to be interested in vulkan anymore and moving towards metal. For Apple, games support was always a problem because MS owns dx. And dx just performs better because appz develop dx first then converted to opengl. There would be four api's soon , opengl, dx, vulcan, metal. Along with os platforms, these standards are not cheap for a small developer to support all this stuff. And then theres cuda and opencl. I'm curious if Andrew would reveal how much market there is for linux for 3dcoat. Is it worth the effort? Is it atleast 30% of the whole 3dcoat sales? I'm surprised he hasn't dropped linux for 3dcoat.
geo_n replied to AbnRanger's topic in Off Topic and General CG RelatedIsn't apple abandoning opengl soon for metal? Windows 10 also has some issues with opengl. MS might totally abandon it for dx.
geo_n replied to AbnRanger's topic in Off Topic and General CG RelatedDoes it support different OS's, Viewport modes and different gpu harware? The RnD and support for all these standards take a lot of time and money.
geo_n replied to Andrew Shpagin's topic in New Releases and BetasThis looks very interesting.

Championed by tastemakers like BBC DJ Gilles Peterson and respected producer Diplo, Baltimore rapper Rye Rye arrived in 2008 with an effervescent style and some support from M.I.A. She was only 17 when a rap left on DJ Blaqstarr's answering machine turned into a partnership. Blaqstarr introduced her to the Mad Decent label/studio/family and soon she would land on a remix of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" plus the Diplo track "Wassup Wassup." Next, she signed with M.I.A.'s imprint N.E.E.T. and released her first solo track, "Shake It to the Ground." By the end of 2008, she appeared on a remix of electro producer Adrian Lux's track "Strawberry" plus the Count & Sinden single "Hardcore Girls." She kicked off 2009 by appearing on the Fast & Furious soundtrack with the song "Bang." Tours with M.I.A. and Die Antwoord followed in 2010, along with a video for a new single, titled "Sunshine." Aided by producers Blaqstarr, Diplo, Count & Sinden, and M.I.A., Rye Rye's long-awaited debut, Go! Pop! Bang!, was finished by the end of the year and scheduled to be released in early 2011.

Standard ML
Standard ML (SML) is a general-purpose, modular, functional programming language with compile-time type checking and type inference. It is popular among compiler writers and programming language researchers, as well as in the development of theorem provers. SML is a modern descendant of the ML programming language used in the Logic for Computable Functions (LCF) theorem-proving project.

Haskell (programming language)
Haskell is a standardized, general-purpose purely functional programming language, with non-strict semantics and strong static typing. It is named after logician Haskell Curry. In Haskell, "a function is a first-class citizen" of the programming language. As a functional programming language, the primary control construct is the function.
more from Wikipedia
Prolog is a general purpose logic programming language associated with artificial intelligence and computational linguistics. Prolog has its roots in first-order logic, a formal logic, and unlike many other programming languages, Prolog is declarative: the program logic is expressed in terms of relations, represented as facts and rules. A computation is initiated by running a query over these relations.
more from Wikipedia
In computer science, a subroutine, also termed procedure, function, routine, method, or subprogram, is a part of source code within a larger computer program that performs a specific task and is relatively independent of the remaining code. As the name subprogram suggests, a subroutine behaves in much the same way as a computer program that is used as one step in a larger program or another subprogram.

Data type
In certain technical fields, a data type is a classification identifying one of various types of data, such as real-valued, integer or Boolean, that determines the possible values for that type; the operations that can be done on values of that type; the meaning of the data; and the way values of that type can be stored.
more from Wikipedia
Computer program
A computer program (also software, or just a program) is a sequence of instructions written to perform a specified task with a computer. A computer requires programs to function, typically executing the program's instructions in a central processor. The program has an executable form that the computer can use directly to execute the instructions.

LOHAS Forum, an annual forum of the best and the brightest (not to mention greenest) is upon us again. Hundreds of entrepreneurs, leaders and movers and shakers will fly in (carbon offsetting, we're sure) for the forum next week. But first, elephant is honored and I'm psyched to team up with Ted Ning (Mr. LOHAS) himself and some great companies and persons to host the pre-party. Come on by, and maybe win a free pass to LOHAS! ~ Waylon Lewis

The book Behind the Sofa collects celebrities' memories of the Doctor Who moments that scared them most. And it's raising money for Alzheimers Research UK. The 100 celebrities who've contributed include: Comedians Al Murray, Stephen Merchant, and Bill Oddie; actors Lynda Bellingham, Nicholas Parsons, and Rhys Thomas; writers Neil Gaiman, Jenny Colgan, Jonathan Ross and Charlie Brooker and politicians Louise Mensch and Tom Harris. In addition, there is input from a number of the writers, actors and production staff who were involved in creating Doctor Who stories new and old.
