text: shaw 534 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Full album TextureReplacer Kerbal personalisation, IVA suits on Kerbin and texture replacement and improvements. The old thread was closed since I wasn't able to edit OP any more due to some forum bug. TextureReplacer is a plugin for Kerbal Space Program that allows you to replace stock textures and customise your Kerbals. Originally, it was created as an alternative to Universe Replacer, which significantly lowered frame rate and caused lags on vehicle switching. TextureReplacer has no such issues plus it has many other cool features. More specifically, it can: replace stock textures with custom ones, assign personalised skin and suit textures for each Kerbal, assign suits based on class and experience level, toggle between EVA suit and IVA suit without helmet in breathable atmosphere, add reflections to parts and helmet visors and change bilinear texture filter to trilinear to improve mipmap quality. Special thanks to: RangeMachine for contributing reflection shaders and maintaining the mod in my absence. rbray89 who contributed a reflective visor shader and for [thread=59005]Active Texture Management[/thread] and [thread=55905]Visual Enhancements[/thread] where some code has been borrowed from, Tingle for [thread=44135]Universe Replacer[/thread]; studying his code helped me a lot while developing this plugin, taniwha for [thread=99018]KerbalStats[/thread] that was optionally used by this plugin for gender determination and role-based suit assignment, Razchek and Starwaster for [thread=70089]Reflection Plugin[/thread] where I learnt how to implement reflections, sarbian for fixing an issue with non-multiple-of-4 texture dimensions, therealcrow999 for testing and benchmarking this plugin, Ippo343 for contributing KSP-AVC configuration, JPLRepo for contributing DeepFreeze compatibility fixes, Proot, Scart91, Green Skull and many others for creating texture packs and Sylith and Scart91 for giving others permissions to make derivatives of their texture packs.

Instructions There are also "idiot-proof" instructions from Green Skull's packs if you find the official TextureReplacer instructions too complicated. General Textures General replacement textures are of the form GameData/**/TextureReplacer/Default/<internalName> where `<internalName>` is the texture's internal name in KSP or path of a texture inside `GameData/` (plus `.dds`/`.png`/`.jpg`/`.tga` extension, of course). Examples: GameData/**/TextureReplacer/ Default/kerbalHead // teeth and male head Default/kerbalGirl_06_BaseColor // female head Default/kerbalMain // IVA suit (veteran/orange) Default/kerbalMainGrey // IVA suit (standard/grey blue) Default/kerbalMainNRM // IVA suit normal map Default/kerbalVisor // IVA helmet visor Default/EVAtexture // EVA suit Default/EVAtextureNRM // EVA suit normal map Default/EVAvisor // EVA helmet visor Default/EVAjetpack // EVA jetpack Default/EVAjetpackNRM // EVA jetpack normal map Default/NavBall // HUD & IVA NavBall Default/GalaxyTex_PositiveX // skybox right face Default/GalaxyTex_NegativeX // skybox left face Default/GalaxyTex_PositiveY // skybox bottom face rotated for 180° Default/GalaxyTex_NegativeY // skybox top face Default/GalaxyTex_PositiveZ // skybox front face Default/GalaxyTex_NegativeZ // skybox back face Default/moho00 // Moho Default/moho01 // Moho normal map Default/Eve2_00 // Eve Default/Eve2_01 // Eve normal map Default/evemoon100 // Gilly Default/evemoon101 // Gilly normal map Default/KerbinScaledSpace300 // Kerbin Default/KerbinScaledSpace401 // Kerbin normal map Default/NewMunSurfaceMapDiffuse // Mün Default/NewMunSurfaceMapNormals // Mün normal map Default/NewMunSurfaceMap00 // Minmus Default/NewMunSurfaceMap01 // Minmus normal map Default/Duna5_00 // Duna Default/Duna5_01 // Duna normal map Default/desertplanetmoon00 // Ike Default/desertplanetmoon01 // Ike normal map Default/dwarfplanet100 // Dres Default/dwarfplanet101 // Dres normal map Default/gas1_clouds // Jool Default/cloud_normal // Jool normal map Default/newoceanmoon00 // Laythe Default/newoceanmoon01 // Laythe normal map Default/gp1icemoon00 // Vall Default/gp1icemoon01 // Vall normal map Default/rockyMoon00 // Tylo Default/rockyMoon01 // Tylo normal map Default/gp1minormoon100 // Bop Default/gp1minormoon101 // Bop normal map Default/gp1minormoon200 // Pol Default/gp1minormoon201 // Pol normal map Default/snowydwarfplanet00 // Eeloo Default/snowydwarfplanet01 // Eeloo normal map It's also possible to replace textures from `GameData/` if one specifies the full directory hierarchy: GameData/**/TextureReplacer/ Default/Squad/Parts/Command/Mk1-2Pod/model000 // Mk1-2 pod texture Default/Squad/Parts/Command/Mk1-2Pod/model001 // Mk1-2 pod normal map Note that all texture and directory names are case-sensitive! Reflections Reflections are shown on visors of Kerbals' helmets and on parts that include `TRReflection` module that can be used like in the following example adding reflections onto the windows of Mk1-2 pod: MODULE { name = TRReflection shader = Reflective/Bumped Diffuse colour = 1.0 1.0 1.0 interval = 1 meshes = FrontWindow SideWindow } There are several parameters, all optional: `shader`: Most shaders should be automatically mapped to their reflective counterparts. In some cases, however, there are no reflective version of a shader, so you will have to manually specify appropriate shader. `colour`: Reflection is pre-multiplied by this RGB value before added to the material. `1.0 1.0 1.0` by default. `interval`: Once in how many steps the reflection is updated. `1` by default. `meshes`: Space- and/or comma-separated list of mesh names where to apply reflections. Reflection is applied to whole part if this parameter is empty or non-existent. You may find `logReflectiveMeshes` configuration option very helpful as it prints names of all meshes for each part with `TRReflection` module into your log. One face of one reflection cube texture is updated every `reflectionInterval` frames (`4` by default, it can be changed in a configuration file), so each reflective part has to be updated six times to update all six texture faces. More reflective parts there are on the scene less frequently they are updated. `interval` field on TRReflection module can lessen the update rate for a part; e.g. `interval = 2` makes the part update half less frequently. Personalised Kerbal Textures Skins and suits are assigned either manually or automatically (configured in the GUI while configuration files can provide initial settings). "Random" assignment of skins and suits is based on Kerbals' names, which ensures the same skin/suit is always assigned to a given Kerbal. Additionally, special per-class suit can be set for each class. Skin textures reside inside `Skins/` directory, each in its own subdirectory: GameData/**/TextureReplacer/ Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/kerbalHead // Head texture Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/eyeballLeft // Left eyeball Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/eyeballRight // Right eyeball Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/pupilLeft // Left pupil Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/pupilRight // Right pupil for males and GameData/TextureReplacer/ Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/kerbalGirl_06_BaseColor // Head texture Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/eyeballLeft // Left eyeball Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/eyeballRight // Right eyeball Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/pupilLeft // Left pupil Skins/[<subDir>/]<skin>/pupilRight // Right pupil for females. Suit textures' names are identical as for the default texture replacement except that class level variants of suit texture are possible. If `kerbalMain` is not present `kerbalMainGrey` is used for veterans. Each suit must reside inside its own directory: GameData/TextureReplacer/ Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/kerbalMain // IVA suit (veteran) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/kerbalMainGrey // IVA suit (level 0) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/kerbalMainGrey1 // IVA suit (level 1) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/kerbalMainGrey2 // IVA suit (level 2) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/kerbalMainGrey3 // IVA suit (level 3) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/kerbalMainGrey4 // IVA suit (level 4) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/kerbalMainGrey5 // IVA suit (level 5) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/kerbalMainNRM // IVA suit normal map Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/kerbalVisor // IVA helmet visor Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAtexture // EVA suit (level 0) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAtexture1 // EVA suit (level 1) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAtexture2 // EVA suit (level 2) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAtexture3 // EVA suit (level 3) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAtexture4 // EVA suit (level 4) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAtexture5 // EVA suit (level 5) Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAtextureNRM // EVA suit normal map Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAvisor // EVA helmet visor Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAjetpack // EVA jetpack Suits/[<subDir>/]<suit>/EVAjetpackNRM // EVA jetpack normal map The level textures are optional. If a level texture is missing the one from the previous level is inherited. If the veteran texture is present it is used for all levels on veterans.Configuration File NOTE: All options that can be configured in the GUI are saved per-game and not in the configuration files. Configuration files only provide initial settings for those options. Main/default configuration file: firstname.lastname@example.com One can also use additional configuration files; configuration is merged from all `*.cfg` files containing `TextureReplacer { ... }` as the root node. This should prove useful to developers of texture packs so they can distribute pack-specific skin/suit assignment rules in a separate file. All `*.cfg` files (including `@Default.cfg`) are processed in alphabetical order (the leading `@` in `@Default.cfg` ensures it is processed first and overridden by subsequent custom configuration files). Normal Maps Unity uses grey normal maps (RGBA = YYYX) to minimise artefacts when applying DXT5 texture compression on them. When a normal map has a `NRM` suffix Unity converts it from RGB = XYZ (blue) to RGBA = YYYX (grey) normal map unless it is in DDS format. In short: you should supply blue normal maps when a texture has `NRM` suffix and is in PNG format (JPEGs and TGAs are not recommended for normal maps) and grey normal map for textures in DDS format or without `NRM` suffix. Grey normal maps can be created by saving the standard blue normal map as a DDS with DXT5nm compression or by manually shuffling its channels RGBA -> GGGR. Kerbal Model Hierarchy Full hierarchy of Kerbal models, together with all default shaders and textures, useful for modders: http://pastebin.com/6QgES3Ae Notes Use DDS format for optimal RAM usage and loading times since DDS textures are not shadowed in RAM and can be pre-compressed and can have pre-built mipmaps. TGA and JPEG images are not suitable for normal maps. Try to keep dimensions of all textures powers of two. KSP can only load TGAs with RGB or RGBA colours. Paletteised 256-colour TGAs cause corruptions in the game database! By default, texture compression and mipmap generation are handled by [thread=59005]ATM[/thread] when it is present rather than by TextureReplacer. KSP never generates mipmaps for PNGs and JPEGs. TextureReplacer fixes this by generating mipmaps under paths specified in the configuration file. Other images are omitted to avoid making UI icons of various plugins blurry when not using the full texture quality. The planet textures being replaced are the high-altitude textures, which are also used in the map mode and in the tracking station. When getting closer to the surface those textures are slowly interpolated into the high-resolution ones that cannot be replaced by this plugin. Known Issues When using stock vintage suits, EVA suit is used for IVA. Reflections disable part highlighting along reflective surfaces. Only the top face of the atmospheric skybox is reflected. Issues with other plugins: EVE clouds are not reflected at certain altitudes. Ship Manifest crew transfers reset Kerbals to default textures (restored on vessel switch or scene reload).

Hello and welcome to The Military Wives network of websites. My name is BJ Chadduck. I am a retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant and here is the story behind this network...
You might be wondering why anyone would spend the time creating a network like this one. The answer is simple and perhaps a little mushy. I LOVE MY WIFE! and yes, I love the Marine Corps. Both have been very good to me.
I first met my future bride in the 6th grade in a little elementary school in Franklin County, Missouri. I had no idea what would happen throughout my junior high school and senior high school years. Cindy was an on, off, back on again girlfriend. Why she put up with my nonsense I'll never know. How she tolerated me is even more a mystery. We graduated from Meramec Valley R-III high school in 1973.
After graduation, she went to work in Brown Shoe factory in Union, Missouri while I went off to East Central Junior College. I lasted one semester. In January 1974, amongst many tears and much anxiety Cindy saw me off into the United States Marine Corps. Little did either of us realize...
I graduated from Platoon 3015 at MCRD San Diego on 25 April 1974. I flew into St. Louis that afternoon, was sitting in a hospital having blood drawn for a marriage test that evening. Cynthia Maria Helm, became Mrs. BJ Chadduck at 1300 on 28 April 1974, at Cedar Grove United Methodist Church in Villa Ridge Missouri.
We were young and although we didn't have dollar riches we had each other and that is all that mattered.
Over the next 20 years Cindy not only stood by me but also the Marine Corps. In fact - truth be told - like so many wives, she WAS more of a Marine than I was. She knew the basics and more. When I needed a swift kick in the butt she gave it! When I needed tender care she gave that too.
Yes, I LOVE HER and this website is but a small token of that thanks.
Enjoy the pages, and if you have additions or suggestions feel free to email us with them.

Technology in Motion
It is the complex technology and engineered structure of Cambrelle® linings that set them apart from the rest in terms of comfort and performance.
What is Cambrelle®?
It offers
- Comfort
- Abrasion resistance
- Moisture management
- Bi-component fibres
- Reliable
- Effective
- Long-lasting
- Lining that goes the distance
- Extra mile
Protecting the foot climate
The bi-component fibres in Cambrelle® allow the lining to constantly adapt to the motion of the foot and the footwear, whilst providing the highest level of abrasion resistance. This in turn produces countless microscopic air pockets that not only allow air to circulate but add to the cushioning effect to create a constant, comfortable micro-climate around the foot.
Staying cool
The lining constantly transports moisture away from the foot, storing it away and releasing it back into the environment when the footwear is removed. Cambrelle® is so efficient at moisture management that it is fully capable of absorbing three-and-a-half times its own weight in moisture keeping the foot cooler, drier, and more comfortable.
Appearance is everything
Cambrelle® not only keeps the feet dry, cool, and comfortable, it also protects the footwear itself. As it is so effective at dispersing moisture, the lining also helps to prevent staining of the upper caused by excess moisture and prevents the build up of bacteria that can cause mildew, rot and odour.

Educators, businesses must partner to create innovation in schools, expert says
Hundreds of business people and educators on Wednesday heard one of the world's top managment gurus talk about what it takes to build a partnership between the two groups to create an environment that will sustain innovation in education.
"Innovation is a process by which we create new sources of value," said Peter Senge, the founding chair of the Society of Organizational Learning, a senior lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the author of the critically acclaimed book, "The Fifth Discipline:The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization."
Senge noted that innovation and schools are two words that are not often put together — at least in the eyes of business people.
Privately, business people express profound frustration with public education in the United States, he said. But he said in many cases business people don't understand the complexity of the education system in their demands for measurement, accountability and reform.
"How many of you would like to be reformed?" he asked of the private sector attendees, saying there is a language connotation issue at work in the dynamic. "Schools reform. Businesses innovate."

Eduardo Sáenz Hermúa, or Mecáchis, was one of the most versatile illustrators in early Spanish comics. While studying medicine, his first drawings were published in the satirical La Broma magazine. Along with Demócrito and Ramón Cilla, Mecáchis was one of the main artists of this democratic and republican magazine. In the double pages of this magazine, Mecáchis shaped and defined his own style with his political caricatures.
La Broma's publication was cancelled in August 1885, but Mecáchis had already launched his own La Caricatura magazine a year earlier. From the first issue, he was the inspirator, main artist and director of this new magazine. Because of his work for La Caricatura he is often credited as the authentic creator of the Spanish comic strip.

Jurgen Golemi, 20, of Troy, and Devid Kamel Sahyoon-Wahba, 18, of Madison Heights, were both arraigned Thursday before 52-3 District Court Judge Nancy Carniak. Bond was set at $250,000 cash for each suspect.
Sahyoon-Wahba is an Egyptian citizen in the United States illegally. If he makes bail, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a deportation order on him.
Golemi is a suspect in four additional bank robberies -- three in Oakland County and one in Ohio. Charges will be forthcoming in those cases, which are all being investigated, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
Golemi is accused of entering the PNC Bank at Walton and Old Perch in Rochester Hills around 1:50 p.m. Tuesday. His head and face were covered with a shirt. Police said he threatened employees and customers with what appeared to be a semi-automatic handgun, gave a bank teller a bag and told all the tellers to fill it with money.
The man fled the bank with a bag full of cash. He ran down nearby Nesbit Lane before jumping into the back seat of a waiting vehicle, which was driven by Sahyoon-Wahba.
A 36-year-old Roseville resident saw Golemi get into the vehicle and followed it for a brief while before providing the license plate number to police.
An investigation led police to the Hampton Inn on Van Dyke in Sterling Heights, where officers found the suspects' vehicle later Tuesday. Police saw the suspects leave the motel and enter the car with two women, and officers from the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, Troy Police Department and the FBI stopped the four as they attempted to drive away.
During a search, officers found cash that had been stolen from the bank in the pockets of both men and one of the women. An Airsoft gun, which was used in the robbery, was found in the car, and Golemi was in possession of a small amount of marijuana.
Additional cash was found in the suspects' motel room.
Both women -- an 18-year-old Madison Heights woman and a 25-year-old Royal Oak resident -- were released from custody. Police said they were not at the bank or in the car at the time of the robbery.
Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard praised the Roseville resident who provided the license plate number.
"This citizen is to be commended for his quick thinking and bravery," Bouchard stated in a press release. "Without his actions, these suspects most likely would not be in jail today and free to commit more crimes."

May 1996 - Newsletter 52
I found myself explaining what the Music Night was all about the other day and afterwards it occured to me that we take it very much for granted because we have run it for so many years and that a piece in the Newsletter might not come amiss
It is held at The West End Hall, Sherborne, Dorset on the 1st Wednesday of every month (except Janurary). The hall is not that easy to find so if you are interested we can send you a map.
Sometimes we book professional guests to entertain but mostly it is for those performers who don't get a chance to show off their talents elsewhere. It never ceases to amaze me how many artists there are in the area with wonderful skills both musical and vocal. Folk, jazz, classical all get a very warm reception from a very broad minded audience. If you have a yearning to air your particular talent in a very friendly atmosphere then the club is the place for you.
The great thing is if you perform you don't pay !!!
I know a lot of you need no introductior toYetminster Fair. Many of you have been there, done that and come back for more. For those of you who haven't been down for the big day give yourselves a treat and take the weekend off. Yetminster is an extremely attractive village and the natives are friendly. The concert in the evening is 'Yetties at Home' and tickets for this and information about camping etc, can be gleaned from Ron and June Page, 3 Bucklers Mead, Yetminster, Sherborne, Dorset DT9 6LA Tel: 01935 872940.
On the Friday night (12th July) we will have our usual gathering at The Weavers Club, Westbury, Sherborne. We'll provide a bit of nosebag and there will undoubtedly be music and song.
Our summer season in Weymouth starts on Tuesday, 2nd of July and runs through until the 8th of October, The only Tuesday we miss is the 3rd of September when we will be in Newfoundland. We are also in The Ocean Room, with other artists, on British Music Day (30th June) and on Friday, 19th of July where we shall, apparently, be invaded by sailing types.
Back in 1983 we toured Newfoundland as part of the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the official founding of the province. At the end of August we are paying another visit to help raise funds to rebuild The Lester-Garland House in Trinity. When finished it is hoped to use the house as a museum and educational centre to promote the historical links between Newfoundland and the West of England and in particular those between Trinity and Dorset. This is the dream of Alan Perry, who is the driving force behind our Wimborne concerts each March, and I'm sure he will get there. Last year for instance he rode a penny farthing across Newfoundland collecting money on the way. He fell off after 40 miles and cycled the remaining 120 with a broken arm.
Incidentally we are performing our 'Banks of Newfoundland' concert at Coldharbour Mill, Uffculme, Devon on Friday, 28th of June. Tel: 01884 840960.
Yes, we will be having some T Shirts printed this year I got nagged a bit last year because we didn't have any so we're putting that right. These days they can do awfully clever things with the printing so they will have the full colour replica of our poster on the front. (The one with us looking through a farm-house window). They will cost £11.95 plus £1.00 P&P (within UK). I thought they worked out a bit expensive in full colour but then I discovered that Manchester United charge £60 for one of their shirts. I also understand that one set of Strip they were selling was a dull grey colour and couldn't be identified across the pitch by the players.
BARN DANCE FOR ST JOHN AMBULANCE, 8th JUNE
The St. John Ambulance in Dorset are trying to raise loads of money to renovate buildings and increase the scope of the excellent work they do. We are helping them with a Barn Dance at Lower Barton Farm (just about a mile south of Cern Abbas), Nether Cerne. Tickets are available from Mrs S. Gallia, Nether Cerne, Dorchester, Dorset. DT2 7AJ. Telephone: 01300 341207.
For those of you who are interested in steam locomotives I have been involved recently in some filming and voiceover work for an hour long video about this lovely old lady. It has taken the renovation team 12 years of meticulous labour to get her back on the rails and she is now the oldest locomotive with a main line certificate. The video tells the history of the class, how the renovation was done, shows the checks carried out by the BR staff and her journeys since. The cost of the video is £15.95 inc. P&P within UK. Cheques payable to The Yetties' please.

Brotogeris jugularis (orange-chinned parakeet)
This is a flock of Orange-chinned Parakeets (Brotogeris jugularis) in flight. This is certainly one of the most common parrots in Costa Rica - Usually they travel in large flocks, and they always, always chatter. (Costa Rica)

She's been dropping the hints and you've been picking them up, so by this point you have a pretty firm idea of what she likes in an engagement ring. Chances are it's a diamond set in platinum or gold, but even it's a ruby ring she's got her eye on, we've got you covered.
Simple Engagement Rings
Classic, time-tested, and iconic: a simple engagement ring consists of a gorgeous diamond and a fine metal setting. It's no wonder this is our most popular style.
Gold Engagement Rings
Whether you go for the warm glow of yellow, the icy sheen of white, or the warm blush tones of rose, a gold engagement ring is always in style.
Platinum Engagement Rings
Coveted and extremely durable, platinum is the pinnacle of precious metals. While it develops a lovely, warm patina over the years, a platinum ring can be shined and re-shined for a lifetime.
Ruby Engagement Rings
Second in hardness next to diamond, ruby (and its sibling, sapphire) is one of the few colored gemstones that we recommend setting in bridal jewelry. Everyday jewelry, especially rings, is subjected to a ton of wear and tear, so a softer stone has a higher chance of being damaged.

D10: Pixar's Upcoming 'Brave' Embraces Next-Gen Software
Ed Catmull, president of Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, talked at the All Things D conference about the history of animation and where it is going. Much of the discussion revolved around the history of computer animated movies from early efforts with Toy Story to the upcoming Brave. (Conference host Kara Swisher seemed particularly excited about the latter because it is the first time a girl is the lead in a Pixar film.)
Above: Ed Catmull
Catmull talked about the process that led to Pixar and Toy Story, the first full-length animated movie. Walt Disney and Albert Einstein were his heroes growing up, and since he didn't know how to make a living in animation, he studied physics. He ended up in a class with people such as computer pioneers Alan Kay, Jim Clark, and John Warnock.
Upon graduation, Catmull knew he wanted to make an animated movie so he went to New York Tech. After five years, he was hired by George Lucas and focused on more specific computer animation tasks.
In 1986, Steve Jobs bought this division out of Lucasfilm and it became Pixar. At that point, making an animated movie was an unrealistic goal, so the group was instead making high-end graphics hardware. "Initially, we were just trying to survive as a company and we failed in many ways," he said.
Eventually, in 1991, Disney gave the company the opportunity to make a fully animated movie. That year, Terminator 2 and Beauty and the Beast both came out, using Pixar's technology and proving it could work. In 1995, Toy Story was released, culminating twenty years of work.
In 23 years, Catmull progressed from animating a short film of his left hand to finishing Toy Story, and it took that long to create the technology and the infrastructure. Toy Story was chosen as the first movie in part because toys could look like plastic.
"The technology is not the goal," Catmull said. "It really is to make a great movie." That mindset is what set the company apart from its competitors at the time. He compared that to the way Walt Disney used technology to help make his films in the early days on animation.
Realism is most important in live action movies, he said, but most animated movies strive for a different look. Up, for instance, was designed to have a very caricature style, while Brave is being designed to seem lusher and warmer. Still, neither was designed to look real, he said; the closest Pixar came to that was in Wall-E.
"We just rolled out our next generation of software," he said, which has been a massive effort. Brave was built on this, even though it wasn't strictly necessary. "You ought to have something that you can't quite justify," he said, because it pushes the filmmakers to take more risks. If you have fixed and comfortable tools, it subverts the process.
The business model for filmmaking is undergoing changes, although animation has done well because it appeals to such a broad audience. There is a technical emphasis on getting the cost down. The first Toy Story was the cheapest film the company ever made by a wide margin; then, costs went up and have come down again for the latest releases. With Brave, however, costs are going up again because of the new software.
Catmull believes the company has had three big failures internally: First, Toy Story 2 had a complete re-do nine months before the film was due out because "the story sucked," he said. This took so much work that one third of the people working on the film were injured because of repetitive stress injury. That film, the company's third, helped define the company as one that was willing to throw out work. Ratatouille also famously went through a significant restart, bringing in a new director. Finally, there was another film that was completely abandoned. Someone was willing to restart it, but he said he had another idea. Since "we always bet on people rather than ideas," Catmull said they chose to do that instead.
Pixar benefited from being close enough to LA to fly there, but far enough to resist its culture. When Disney acquired Pixar, he was adamant to continue the separation between it and Walt Disney Animation Studios. Even though he oversees both now, it was important that neither studio could bail out the other.
Going forward, Catmull said he'd like to see animated films become more feasible to create, perhaps requiring only about 100 people, instead of the 200-300 people now needed. You need a good size crew for the give and take of ideas, but smaller crews could make different kinds of films.
When asked about sequels, Catmull said that when the company started, animated sequels had not been successful. Toy Story 2 changed that, but making a sequel is no easier than making a new film. Pixar has a rule that it will only make one if the director has the passion to do so.

Interior Designer in Ghaziabad 9891050117
A kitchen could have one of several different cabinet plans, depending on how you will use it. You can design a kitchen for cooking only, or a multi-functional kitchen where you will cook, serve food and entertain guests. Issues such as the appliances you will use and their location, the design of a center island and the counter layout will determine where your cabinets go. Decide which counter layout you prefer: an open plan galley layout a U-shaped or an L-shaped layout.
When designing a kitchen for commercial use, consider a few important factors. Size is key in a restaurant or other food service facility, and the ability to install proper ventilation is important. Factor in enough storage space. Think about aspects of kitchen design beyond the obvious to get the most out of your space and make it a good place to work.
Modern kitchens contain all the latest appliances and gadgets and are structured for maximum efficiency. Most modern kitchens include an eating area that often is situated on a counter with stools arranged around it. Modern kitchens allow the cook to interact with guests while preparing the meal and cleaning up. In a modern kitchen, openness and ease of use are the keys. Previously unattractive items such as trash disposals and dishwashers are given new fronts so they blend in with the rest of the décor. While no two kitchens are exactly alike, modern kitchens share many of the same features
In the L-kitchen, the cabinets occupy two adjacent walls. Again, the work triangle is preserved, and there may even be space for an additional table at a third wall, provided it does not intersect the triangle.
A U-kitchen has cabinets along three walls, typically with the sink at the base of the "U". This is a typical work kitchen, too, unless the two other cabinet rows are short enough to place a table at the fourth wall
Architects specialize in designing an area. One good reason to use an architect is that their insight and overall approach leaves the door open for expansion. A commercial kitchen designer may give you a working plan based on your operating experience. An architect can look at your current operation and design your kitchen to function efficiently and effectively. He can allow you the options of growing at the pace you set in your existing space. Later, you can change what you have into another location or multiple locations as the case may require.
Kitchen cabinet colors
Picking kitchen cabinet colors can be a big decision. You may have paint chips & swatches taped up all over your kitchen. Since you will probably have to paint several coats, you want to make sure you get the color right the first time. There is nothing worse than finishing a project that took several weeks only to discover that you hate the finished result. Here is how to pick kitchen cabinet colors that you will love for years to come
Base your kitchen cabinet colors around a subtle theme. This doesn't mean that your kitchen has to end up looking like a tacky restaurant. Instead follow the lead of Trading Spaces designers & look at food or flowers for your inspiration. It might seem like a kitchen based around a lemon would be too bright. However, if you cut open a lemon you will notice that there are many tones of yellow & even white. Stop thinking of an asparagus as being just green & really look to the things surrounding you for inspiration.
Keep it neutral. After you finish painting your cupboards, you will probably never want to do it again. So, choose kitchen cabinet colors that will work with a lot of different styles. This way you won't have to repaint when your decorating sensibilities change in a few years. This also ensures that if you need to sell your house you probably won't need to go through all of that work again.
Think of the kitchen cabinet colors en mass. Bright turquoise might be your favorite color so it seems like a fantastic idea to slap it on the cupboards. However, you probably have more cabinet space than you do wall space in your kitchen. This means that bright color will be the dominate one in the room & it will probably seem overwhelming. Instead, use a funky color on the window treatments, light fixture or get a new set of fun dishes.
- White is a classic color for kitchen walls and cabinets since it can be paired with bold hues or softer, pastel shades. Bright white looks good with other eye-catching colors like Kelly green or sunshine yellow; these shades can be used to paint the cabinet handles or the kitchen backsplash. The same colors in pastel form, such as pistachio green and light yellow, complement a white kitchen as well; a yellow gingham tablecloth for the breakfast nook or white cabinets lined in pastel green will make the kitchen inviting with modest splashes of color.
Taupe or Tan
- A neutral color scheme in the kitchen, particularly when a color like tan or taupe is the shade of the cabinets and walls, means you can decorate with metallic shades for an elegant and slightly monochromatic look. Or you can opt for a couple of striking shades that look good with brown, like navy blue or eggplant. For instance, taupe cabinets look particularly attractive with bronze handles or a bronze paint border. Dark purple area rugs and decorative china in dark blue against tan walls are particularly noticeable but not too overwhelming. Additional brown accents like tablecloths and vases can also be accented with a chocolate brown table runner or bronze synthetic flowers for a more sophisticated kitchen.
- Red is an energizing color that increases the appetite, so it's the ideal color for the walls in your kitchen. Painting the cabinets red is also a bold yet smart decorative idea, especially if you have black or silver accents in the space. A striking cherry red for the larger kitchen cabinets is best if you want to "wake up" the kitchen area and have appliances that are a neutral shade. A darker shade of red, like cranberry or burgundy, is a sophisticated color addition to the kitchen; a burgundy accent wall is complementary to dark brown kitchen furniture.
- Using yellow as the main color in the kitchen makes the area bright, cheery and welcoming. Off white or cream decorations, like plates or a mosaic backsplash, look good against a lemon yellow wall; black trim or handles are ideal in a kitchen where pastel yellow is the feature color. Add yellow kitchen accents, like a mixer or blender, against a black or gray counter to spread the color throughout the space. A bouquet of yellow roses on the kitchen table to match the accent wall or cabinets are a demure addition and a symbol of friendship that will make your loved ones feel especially comfortable.
Light Blue
- Light blue is a pretty pairing with cabinets that are an intense chocolate color. Blue and brown provide a combination of calm and coziness to the kitchen, and this subdued shade of blue on the counters and wall is attractively noticeable, but makes the cabinets the feature. Dark toffee-colored cabinetry looks even more striking with grayish blue shades such as slate blue. Adding light blue decorative dishes to the tops of dark cabinet sets adds a sense of sophistication and comfort, and still draws attention to the wooden cabinets.
- Cream or off-white counters and walls will make dark brown or gray-black wooden cabinetry the main attraction in the kitchen. Black and white are always a classic color pairing, and making a shade of near white the main neutral color in a kitchen with dark cabinets means you can add small splashes of bright color without overwhelming the space. For instance, electric blue or turquoise dish towels are striking against dark gray cabinets and make the lightly colored walls appear less drab. Warm colors such as neon orange will add even more warmth to the deep brown tones of the cabinets, and give the room an enthusiastic feel.
- Bright yellow and dark chocolate-colored wood give the kitchen an air of cheeriness and inviting warmth. Vibrant yellow hues also balance the intense shade of the cabinetry, and can bring out the yellow undertones in the dark brown wood, e.g. lemon yellow counters or accent wall. Mocha-colored cabinetry with tan or light yellow tinges will pair nicely with butter yellow bordering or handles. Orange-ish yellow tones complement red wood cabinets in Merlot or Bordeaux, and provide the perfect color combination to stimulate the appetite and make family members feel welcomed in the space.
- Keep accessories to a minimum in modern design. This is perfect for a small kitchen where space is at a premium. Keep your countertops free of clutter so you can use every square inch of countertop as a work surface. Store appliances in cupboards for a cleaner look. If you have a brightly colored mixer display it on a sturdy floating shelf for added color in the room. Use magnet strips on the wall to store knives and metal spice jars while giving your space modern style.
- Appliances may dwarf a small kitchen. Consider slightly smaller appliances to free up space. Space-saving appliances often appear in condos or rentals and are fully functional. Stainless steel is popular in modern kitchens but black or white appliances will also blend into a modern color palette if you're working on a budget.
Make a 1/2-inch-scale drawing of your kitchen room. Draw the 24-inch-deep counter areas according to the counter layout you have chosen. If you plan to have one, add the outline of a center island. Select the stove, refrigerator and sink you will use. Make scale cutouts of each and position them on the design. The counter areas without sink, stove and refrigerator cutouts will become your base cabinets.
Choose a Cabinet Type
- Frameless cabinets, sometimes called "Euro cabinets," have faces (the drawer fronts and cabinet doors) with a minimum of detail, producing a contemporary look. Face-frame cabinets, as the name suggests, have face frames separate from cabinet carcasses. Within the outer face frame, individual drawers and doors have their own frames. This results in a more traditional look. Make this decision early, because the two cabinet types have entirely different construction methods.
Upper Cabinets
- The design of your upper cabinets will match the basic look of the base cabinets, but you have some choices. You can pair a laminate frameless base cabinet with upper cabinets in the same laminate color. Alternatively, select frameless glass doors for the upper cabinets, in either clear or milk white. Traditional face-frame base cabinets can also have matching upper cabinet faces. Alternatively, you can select glass center panels that fit into the upper cabinet door frames. The glass panels could be etched or sand-blasted.
- Flooring is an important aspect of commercial kitchen design. Floors should be durable and easy to clean. Employees should find them safe and comfortable. Ceramic tile and painted concrete are durable choices that you can personalize for commercial kitchen floors. Both ceramic tile and concrete are easily cleaned with a mop each day, and the materials hold up to the high traffic and abuse in a busy kitchen. Slip-resistant paint additives may be applied to paint on concrete to minimize the risk of slips and falls. Some styles of ceramic tile also have a slightly grainy finish to help prevent accidents.
Implement Proper Lighting
- Lighting can have a large effect on how your kitchen looks and feels and should not be underestimated. Incorporating the correct lighting can be difficult, however, especially for those who are not familiar with the many different effects that can be achieved with various types of lighting. Strive to incorporate as much overhead lighting as possible, which is best done in the form of either recessed or track lighting. Additionally, you can add more light to a room by placing lamps in various areas. Try adding a lamp to each corner, which can have a dramatic effect on the room's appearance.

Strawberry Hill Butterfly Habitat Restoration Project
May 11 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
An event every month that begins at 10:00 am on day Second of the month, repeating until June 30, 2019
Event Navigation
If you love your parks, and are looking for a meaningful and substantive way to make a positive difference, come on out and volunteer with the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department!
On the second Saturday of every month, we enhance habitat on Strawberry Hill in Golden Gate Park. We remove invasive weeds, and put in plant species that Swallowtails and other butterflies need to thrive. It's an inspiring and fun day in a gorgeous setting.
Each month, we build on the progress begun at our first work day in September 2010, maintaining and adding more and more butterfly habitat on the slopes and top of Strawberry Hill. This is an ongoing program – we're looking for both occasional volunteers, and those who would like to be involved on a regular basis.
To sign-up for this volunteer opportunity, please click on the link below:
or email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 415-831-6884 by the Wednesday prior to the workday.
All instruction and needed tools are provided. Please wear closed toe shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and dress in layers as the weather may change quickly. You may want to bring a bottle of water to keep with you while you work. If you're sensitive to sun, don't forget your sun block lotion and hat.

I used to disregard the American trance/progressive scene as derivative and boring, but damn, Markus Schulz' exciting first album, Progression, has showed me how erred that thinking was. While he is a naturalised American from Germany, he is bringing the beats to the USA with a vigour that sends me into shivers. I purchased Progression on a blessed whim about a year ago when the album was no more than a great, few weeks old listen – now it is among my staple listens. And because of Markus' technical mixing, Progression houses a few benchmark songs for headphone testing! Well, now the American trance man himself has become a Global DJ Top 15 member and has an app. Markus Schulz by phizuu is all things Schulz, but in your pocket, and unlike myriad other web-leaching apps, free. Did I download it? What do you think?

A dying colonialism
Grove Press, 1967 - History - 181 pages
An incisive and illuminating account of how, during the Algerian Revolution, the people of Algeria changed centuries-old cultural patterns and embraced certain ancient cultural practices long derided by their colonialist oppressors as primitive, in order to destroy those same oppressors. Fanon uses the fifth year of the Algerian Revolution as a point of departure for an explication of the inevitable dynamics of colonial oppression.

1982: Villa victorious in Europe
Article summary
Article top media content
Article body
FC Barcelona 1-0 Aston Villa FC
Aston Villa FC 3-0 FC Barcelona (aet)
(Villa win 3-1 on aggregate)
The 1981 UEFA Super Cup final was to be a no-show, as European Champion Clubs' Cup winners Liverpool FC could not decide a convenient date to meet 1981 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup winners FC Dinamo Tbilisi – then of the Soviet Union, now of the independent republic of Georgia.
Another English side, Aston Villa FC, were to steal Liverpool's European crown in 1982, with Peter Withe's goal overcoming FC Bayern München in the final. A 2-1 win against R. Standard de Liège in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup saw FC Barcelona join the Birmingham-based side in the Super Cup final.
Once more, what should have been the 1982 final spilled over into the following year, with the game not kicking off until 19 January 1983. Udo Lattek's side got off to a decent start at the Camp Nou in the first leg with Marcos Alonso scoring the only goal of the game after 52 minutes.
However, the Catalan side were to lose out in the second leg, when a Gary Shaw goal ten minutes from time at Villa Park sent the game into added time on 26 January. Gordon Cowans then gave Villa the lead from the penalty spot after 100 minutes before Kenneth McNaught completed the scoring four minutes later.
A 3-1 aggregate win saw Villa pick up their second European trophy as coach Tony Barton – who had replaced Ron Saunders midway through the season with Villa failing to maintain the form that had won them the 1980/81 English title – reached their pinnacle in European football. That victory was also to mark the end of a long period of English dominance in Europe.

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) — An autopsy on a 19-year-old black woman killed on a suburban Detroit porch where she'd reportedly gone to seek help after a car crash confirms that she died of a gunshot wound to her face.
Renisha McBride, of Detroit, was fatally shot Nov. 2 in predominantly white Dearborn Heights.
Civil rights groups have called for a vigorous prosecution in the case, saying McBride was targeted because of her race.
The unnamed homeowner has told investigators he thought someone was trying to break into his home and that he accidentally discharged his shotgun.
The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office report released Monday ruled McBride's death was a homicide.
Prosecutors say they're reviewing whether to charge the homeowner, a 54-year-old man.
Messages seeking comment were left with police and the homeowner's attorney.

It appears that even Spencer Pratt can have regrets.
"The Hills" villain expressed remorse over his failed marriage in a long apology released to the public this week, reports People.
"Divorce can be a trying, draining and emotionally devastating experience for all involved," Pratt said in an interview with the magazine. "Despite these hardships, most individuals manage to conduct themselves with dignity and maturity. I did not - I failed spectacularly."
Pratt also said he had "horribly embarrassed the one person that meant the world to me" with his actions. Since their relationship first hit the rocks, Pratt has threatened to release a sex tape involving Montag, attacked her on Twitter, and has been following her around in Costa Rica.
"Over the years, her love, support, and friendship were always given, but never properly cherished. I let her down," he said. "Even though our relationship has changed, I will always count her among my best friends."

We went for Thanksgiving Day dinner. Although the website said they were serving a turkey dinner, the menu we were given had no mention of it. We had to ask the server who was lackadaisical at best. Tiny little corn muffins were served with honey butter- they were cold and reminded me of the children's food in those play kitchens. They had an extremely limited spirits menu, all of them local. We tried two of them. We ended up sending one back because it tasted terrible. The rice based whisky one I ended up pouring not my coffee and even that didn't help. We weren't offered a choice of appetizers- Caesar salads showed up and I deferred mine since I don't eat salad. Nothing was offered to replace it. The sliced turkey breast was served on top of the crouton stuffing and gravy was already poured over it. It tasted like chicken gravy. Everything was cold, tasteless and dull. A teaspoon ( if that) of cranberry sauce appeared as a bright spot of color on the plate and did that well. No other vegetables were offered either hot or cold. Desserts were the usual from their everyday menu- no pumpkin anything was in evidence. My companions chose the ice cream in a waffle bowl. The ice cream was good. The waffle bowl was soggy and then the consistency of raw batter which they said tasted like bis-quik on the bottom. They ate the ice cream for the most part. I had ordered coffee. It was barely warm and tasted stale.
This was the worst, most insipid and uninspired Thanksgiving Meal I have ever had the misfortune to endure in memory. I have been inspired to go back to cooking my own holiday meals from now on.
Great food, great service great atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and visit!
Disappointed with the seating. My guest had cataract surgery recently and could not receive direct light. We asked for a different table and was told others were for 4 and reserved. Monitored the situation and they were not reserved.
Came here for brunch today..this has been a go to favorite for months. Today there were issues with slow drinks service at 10 am and the food took a long time to come out of the kitchen. I especially wanted to share the steak and eggs taste was off this time..could not pin point the reason but the overall experience was just ok.
The service was ok but my family was underwhelmed with the food. For example - I ordered the lamb and it wasn't warm enough or fall off the bone cooked. So overall a so-so experience.
The food was good, the service was great, and it's a nice place but not worth the price. We got the chicken which was way overpriced at $24 with no sides, and the spaghetti squash (a vegetarian dish). 2 entrees, 1 side, 1 beer and water came to over $80 with tax and tip - a little too pricey for what we got, IMO.
Copperwood was fabulous! the One Loudoun location is rustic and cozy. We went for brunch and ordered the fried green tomatoes, scotched egg, lobster benedict, and steak & brussels salad. Everything was really good - especially the benedict, which had a bunch of lobster on it. Delish!
The staff treated us very well! We'd love to go back. Everything was delicious—especially the devilled eggs, oysters, and several versions of eggs Benedict.
Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, our meals were all excellent, cooked to perfection and we all felt the quality and portions to be equal to and or better than Eddie Merlots at 1/3 of the cost. No shade on EM. Our waiter was outstanding, extremely attentive but not to the point of overkill. The cocktails and beer were also outstanding. The atmosphere is truly spectacular and the fire pits and fireplace add a beautiful touch during this time of year. This has been my favorite dining experience in recent memory. Thank you, we WILL be back😁👍
Great food and knowledgeable, attentive service! The waiter's recommendations were terrific!
Atmosphere was great, food was prepared well and came out in a timely manner. Staff was pleasant
It was very disappointing to see the table they were going sit my wife and I at. The worst table in the restaurant, a tiny table on a island by itself in the front of the restaurant, almost by the host stand. The host offered us the 2nd worst table right next to the bathroom. We sat there and it was ok but really disappointing when we had reservations. The food was great and we had a lovely meal but the start was rocky and made me wonder why we even bothered with a reservation. Not sure if we will go back anytime soon.
Very friendly staff and unique decorations.
Food was not great for the price. I had some sort of steak salad and the meat was mediocre and tough. The menu was very pricey and did not fit the casual decor and ambiance. I probably will not go back.
Great food and great service. Loved sitting on the patio with my doggie.
Copperwood Tavern proved to be a refreshingly different dining experience. The food and service were excellent. The decor is modern rustic, albeit a bit stark. The hard floors made for a slightly noisy atmosphere with too much echoing. I gave the lowest rating to value, as the food portions are relatively small for the price charged. I will consider coming back for special occasions.
We were delighted to find that we were early enough for the one-dollar oysters. My wife and I both ordered six on the halfshell, and six grilled. Served beautifully with several sauces. Because we were so early (had to go to an event in the area) and didn't have huge appetites, for our entrees we both chose a grilled Brussels sprouts salad with steak. Excellent. The server was brand new, but handled our order with enthusiasm and got everything right. If we lived closer we'd make the Copperwood Tavern one of our regular dinner places.
Great food! We will come back
Like atmosphere and the way staff interact with patrons .
Let me start by saying our server was very nice and some things were probably out of his control...it was both my husband's and my first time and sadly we were not very impressed or even really satisfied.
We had reservations for 7pm on a Saturday to celebrate our 11 year anniversary. We sat outside but it didn't look terribly busy inside. Our server took our drink orders and then came back almost 30 minutes later to ask what we ordered again (side note, they were out of the moonshine to make the drink I really wanted so I ended up with a drink I didn't enjoy very much). So we didn't get our drinks until about 40 minutes after we were seated. After that the food all came out quickly. I'm not much of a meat eater but my husband is and said the steak he ordered was just ok. I ordered a steak salad (I didn't really like the steak so I have it to my husband but the salad part was very good). Half way through I found a hair wrapped in some blue cheese in so I couldn't even finish it. Sadly we probably won't be visiting again and thankfully we had received a gift card as a gift so wasn't a waste of our own money.
Over priced and terrible service....no attention to details....coffee had grounds in it and was cold....eggs werent cooked as ordered. Milk in 8 ounce glass with no refills for kids. Over 125.00 bill for eggs and bacon, a waffle, 2 hamburgers and a salad with water. Sunday from 12 to 2 and they were 6 other people in entire restaurant. Tells you something...place was dead
The appeal of this restaurant is the "farm to table" all local ingredients. Excellent food, mixed drinks were good, beer was well, beer. A bit pricier than I expected, dinner for two (with two mixed drinks and two beers) with tip was roughly $175. We went late (8pm on a Friday). Not crowded, server was very friendly but there were points where the service was a little slow considering how empty it was. Ambiance is nice. Updated and clean. Patio seating looked good (we were inside but bay doors were up to allow for fresh air on a nice evening). Because it's right on the street the only noise issues involved the occasional muscle car enthusiast or motorcyclist who felt compelled to rev the engine as they drove by.
As always never disappointed here. Food and service are always great. Love the atmosphere. We come back often.
Soup was cold, "shareable" sides were small, and delivery of apps/soups/salads was poorly timed. My steak was good, but that was all I got for my money: a piece of cooked meat on a plate - period. Even at McDonald's you get a pickle with your burger. If I wanted any sides, even a potato, it was extra. Very disappointing.
Great brunch
Great place for brunch. Opens at 9 am which is really nice. Everyone is very friendly. Our eggs Benedict and western omelet came out hot and both were delicious. Definitely will be back.
After several really good meals, this last one was just sort of average. Pork chop was tough, Brussels Sprouts were ok, but the Mac and cheese......yum. Service was good but not great.
Great place - great food.
Most important to me and my doggie friends is the patio that allows dogs and gives them a nice homemade peanut butter treat
For claims of farm to table, local source, and for the prices listed you would expect high quality and flavorful taste. I tasted all the local IPAs on tap and did not find any of them to be very good (there are good Virginia IPAs, but none that they had), the wild mushrooms appetizer seemed rather plain and over sauced (maybe to compensate for lack of flavor in main ingredients), the salmon was just okay (the stuff under it seemed to have some grit in it), and the center point of the chocolate cake was good and moist, but the outer edge was rather dry. I ordered the cake to go and they put it in a big bag but didn't include a fork. It was not bad food, just not good enough for the price. That is probably why the restaurant was so empty at 7:00.
Came with 5 adults, great breakfast and presentation. The service was spot on
We had a great experience through and through. Our server was fantastic, the food was top notch, and the ambiance was friendly an inviting. We'll definitely return.
The food and the service was great!!
I don't normally write reviews... but this was a lot of money and quite disappointing — having had a great experience once before. Our food was cold in the middle... the English muffins were soggy as the hollandaise had been left on too long. We had to ask for the popcorn delivered to most tables. The waiter was nice... The whole experience was not good though — and it was a special occasion which made things worse. Spent over $80 for four people for sub-par food — which all sounded delicious. Will not be going back.
Amazing overall experience! Four stars only because the desserts left a little to be desired.
Excellent food. Sides were great. Outdoor seating very pleasant.
Try the lobster wraps, amazing ! Great food and a great place for a celebration.
Sat on balcony. Bartender led our service team. She did a great job! The $1 oyster special did not hurt
My daughter was craving the French toast sticks so we headed over for brunch. The food was very good, we had a variety of breakfast items. The service was very attentive too. We might go back next week for my birthday.
Always great service and great food at Copperwood Tavern! We were able to sit at a table right inside the opened doors, so it was perfect to enjoy the beautiful weather, but not be in the sun. Our waitress was wonderful, the food we ordered was delicious, and we will definitely be back!

So now, with his approval rating tumbling, President Obama suddenly wants to "engage with the Republicans," or at least with selected Republican Senators, with the goal of striking a deal on budgetary/debt issues. How should Republicans react?
Anticipating this scenario, I have expressed my view. Most recently, in early February, I wrote:
[I]n the unlikely event that Obama shows a willingness to discuss entitlement reform in a serious way, Republicans should entertain a "grand bargain." Otherwise, they should take the spending cuts that Obama graciously handed them, and save entitlement reform for the next time they can exert pressure on the White House.
I love cutting spending, whether through the sequester or otherwise. But we must recognize that the debt crisis cannot be solved without entitlement reform.
That's why Republicans should be open to a grand bargain that modifies the sequester but deals seriously with entitlements. Such a bargain would also involve changes to the tax code that reduce the ability of those with high incomes to take advantage of certain deductions. Mitt Romney proposed such changes during the campaign and Speaker Boehner put them on the table during the "fiscal cliff" negotiations.
The catch, of course, resides in the reality that Obama almost certainly is not willing to discuss entitlement reform in a serious way. He never has been and, in all likelihood, he never will be. Cutting entitlements in a meaningful way is not the change this tranformative president has in mind.
But I see no harm in sounding him out on the subject. If nothing else, selected Republicans can watch Obama squirm a little bit.

Now, There Is A Camera That Can Capture 'Smells'
What if you could recapture the aroma of that freshly baked birthday cake, or the whiff of your lover's shampoo? It may be possible with this new camera!
Researchers have developed a camera that can capture the scent of your memories, recording smells instead of images.
The gadget called Madeleine is the invention of designer Amy Radcliffe at Central Saint Martins, who set out to bring a more meaningful sensory dimension to storing our favourite memories, the 'Guardian' reported.
"Sense of smell has a direct link to emotional memory. It is the sense we react to most instinctively, and the furthest away from being stored or replicated digitally," Radcliffe said.
In order to use the camera a person needs to place the funnel over the object or environment they wish to capture, then a pump sucks the air across an odour trap made of Tenax - a porous polymer resin which adsorbs the volatile particles that make up the smell.
The working prototype can take anything from a few minutes to capture the scent of fresh strawberries, to around 24 hours to store the more subtle aroma of an atmosphere.
"It's like a huge electric nose. It processes the particles and produces a graph-like formula that makes up the smell. From this formula you can artificially recreate the precise odour," she said.
Users can take their exposed odour traps to the local lab in the same way they would take a 35mm film to be processed - the product being not photos, but delicate vials of the scent, along with a bronze disk of the specific formula, bringing a precious, ritualistic quality to the process.
