Star Trails over Little Presque Isle...
Howard Eisenberg 7/28/2012 3:51:47 AMAwesome star trail with great clarity in the photo. I love the reflection in the sand. With all you great night shots, I wonder if you ever sleep? #1477343
Arthur Bohlmann 7/28/2012 5:50:54 AMNice work Paul What time did you thake this? I see light on the horizon but not sure if it is just as the sun has set or beginning to rise. This might answers Howards question too. LOL! #10247594
Paul R. Nelson 7/28/2012 8:01:38 AMThank you, Howard, and the answer to your question is probably not often enough. In fact I was out photographing star trails at my house at 3:30 this morning and came as close as I ever have to capturing a nice meteor right overhead; the camera was aimed right and the shutter was open, but I was in the middle of a 30-minute exposure, and I don't think it was bright enough to show up. :( Someday I will get one; the Perseids meteor shower is coming up 2 weeks from tonight.
Thank you, Art. It was sometime between 3:00 and 3:30; the time data was 3:15, I believe, and I assume that was the beginning of the exposure. The orange is the sun lighting up the Northern horizon. Because of how far North we are and the tilt of the Earth, the light from the sun is seen in the North before it comes up in the East. #10247677
Arthur Bohlmann 7/28/2012 8:05:58 AMThanks for the meteor shower info. I might drive up to Joshau Tree to photograph it if the position in the sky is right for the spot I have in mind. #10247686
Paul R. Nelson 7/28/2012 8:17:57 AMYou are welcome, Art; I knew you were interested from past meteor showers. More info from Skyscrapers.com:
Perseus is well up in the northeast sky after midnight. If you can see a pattern of stars that looks like a sideways M or W (thats Cassiopeia), Perseus is below it so youre looking in the correct direction."
I hope it works out for you. I will be bringing my wife home for a week that day and we plan on spending the night outside watching/photographing them. Make sure to post any you get. #10247699
Arthur Bohlmann 7/28/2012 9:24:04 AMThanks for the info Paul. If I go I will definately post a few images #10247767

What else can be said
Just exceptional work

Paul R. Nelson 7/28/2012 3:46:16 PMThank you, David. This was a beautiful night, and I really enjoyed sitting in a chair by the shore of Lake Superior, listening to the quiet waves and watching the stars, while the camera did its work. #10248122
Randy D. Dinkins 8/29/2012 1:53:18 AMGreat wide angle long exposure capture, beautiful. Been meaning to get out to try this, just haven't done it, so thanks for the details on the shot (BTW - any specific meaning to 1962, besides the fact that it is roughly a 30 min exp?). Also - Congrats on the BP kudos. #10294877
Howard Eisenberg 8/29/2012 3:29:37 AMCongratulations on this spectacular finalist Paul! Hope all is well, haven't seen new posting/heard from you in a while. #10295028

Arthur Bohlmann 8/29/2012 8:10:13 AMWay To Go My Friend! #10295999
Paul R. Nelson 8/29/2012 8:29:45 AMThank you, Randy. I'm glad the info helped, and hope you get the chance to try it. I find it enjoyable to sit in the dark and enjoy the stars while the camera does it's work. I have the long-exposure noise reduction turned on and let the camera process it while I drive home.
I was aiming for 30 minutes and gave it a couple extra minutes to make sure and just happened to end up at that shutter duration.
Thank you, Howard, and I appreciate your concern. I've had to step away from my camera and the club for a little bit due to other considerations (for one, my wife came home for a week for the first time in 5 1/2 months), but hope my schedule will clear up soon.
Thank you, Susan; I appreciate the compliment.
Thank you, Arthur, my friend. It is good to hear from you. #10296118

No basic white for this unique bride.
When it came time for Amber Tamblyn to tie the knot with love David Cross, the House, M.D. actress instead picked a bright-hued, yellow gown that perfectly complemented her fair complexion and red hair.
"It was marigold, and it had a train in the back that was cream," Tamblyn, 29, clarified to Us Weekly at the WIRED Store Opening Night party in NYC Nov. 29. "Like a center-piece that was cut out in the middle." (Tamblyn didn't mention the frock's designer.)
Boring old white wouldn't have fit her personality anyway, Tamblyn explained: "There's nothing really traditional about me."
The flowy choice for her whimsical, early October wedding — Tamblyn was barefoot, and arrived via canoe for the woodland ceremony — allowed the actress to dance the night away with her guests, including Amy Poehler and her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars Blake Lively, America Ferrera and Alexis Bledel. (Lively brought hubby Ryan Reynolds as her date.)
This is the first marriage for both Tamblyn and Arrested Development star Cross, who confirmed their engagement in August 2011.

0 Members and 1 Lonely Barbarian are spying on this topic.
He really, really likes red?
Honestly, I thought this was a love poem the guy wrote for some lady (though I was a little puzzled as to why the guy started off saying he was outraged at the way the girl dresses but you said this was a badly written poem so *shrugs*).
You missed an "e" on tomato. How old is sherbert?
I suppose you spell potatoe without an "e" too.
Sherbert, Sherbet, Sorbet? It's your ancient noble's poem. Sherbet is a more recent term and stuck out to me. Almost as much as the Non-Quayle spellings of fruits.
I would reread it for consistency though to avoid confusion. I would argue that the poem is not misspelling or bad grammar but a different style of misspelling that is entirely on purpose. If it is an educated misspelling/style, they would repeat the same misspellings/differences all the time...as you mostly did. A couple "on" got through and if most o's are replaced by y's maybe or should yr as well? If it is consistent style then there are quite a few other changes that need to be made to unify it better. Unless those differences are on purpose. When you get used to reading it the way it is written, the ones that don't fit the pattern stand out a bit more and I am not sure that is the full intention.
I like it a lot better without the ridiculous capitol letters. It's easier to read, and I can actually focus on the words.Also, this is fantastic. This is like, the best thing I've read all day.

Importance of Bees
Honey bees are part of the Hymenoptera order which includes bumblebees, solitary bees, wasps, sawflies and ants.
What we can learn from bees
Studying bees adds significantly to the wider education of pupils. For example:
- Bees are pollinators vital to our food chain. One third of the food we eat would not be available but for bees.
- Bees, like other insects, are part of a food chain.
- The social life of the honey bee colony provides a controversial start to thinking about the structure of societies.
- The tools that have evolved on the limbs and mouthparts of bees are neat examples of adaptation and engineering.
- The harvest from honey bees of honey, pollen, wax and propolis has nutritional, craft, manufacturing, and medical applications.
- Pollination by bees is important for genetic sustainability. Genes that have evolved in other animals are important to our future too.
In the UK about 70 crops are dependent on, or benefit from, visits from bees. In addition, bees pollinate the flowers of many plants which become part of feed for farm animals. The economic value of honey bees and bumblebees as pollinators of commercially grown insect-pollinated crops in the UK has been estimated at over £200 million per year.
Bees are in danger of disappearing from our environment. Farming practices continue to disturb natural habitats and forage of solitary and bumblebees at a rate which gives them little chance for re-establishment. The honey bee is under attack from the varroa mite and it is only the treatment and care provided by beekeepers that is keeping colonies alive. Most wild honey bee colonies have died out as a result of this disease.
These factors, coupled with a decline in the number of beekeepers in the UK, have prompted the initiative by the BBKA of the 'Bees in the Curriculum' Schools pack. Attitudes to bees must change and a new generation needs to be educated about the value of bees and the threats to their existence.

Missiles that brought down the Falcon 50 aircraft carrying former Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana days before he was to implement a peace accord – thus triggering a genocide of more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus – were fired from a base operated by Mr. Habyarimana's own presidential guard, according to the most comprehensive report on the events of April 6, 1994, released Monday by Rwandan President Paul Kagame's Tutsi-dominated government.
The inquiry - ordered by Mr. Kagame's regime in the wake of a disputed 2006 French judicial finding that Kagame's Tutsi rebels actually fired the missiles that sparked the genocide - adds a large weight to scales of justice implicating Hutu supremacists in a conspiracy to foment genocide.
"All the evidence points to the idea that missiles were fired inside or near the Kanombe base … which effectively implicates [Hutu extremist Col. Theoneste] Bagosora," says Andrew Wallis, British expert and author of "Silent Accomplice," a book on the genocide. "Allegedly, Habyarimana's wife herself [a known Hutu extremist] knew the attack was coming."
The exhaustive Mutszini report collects new Belgian military testimony, ballistics investigations by British experts, previous UN reports, Western authors and researchers, and some 557 witness testimonies in an effort to take a definitive position on the April 6 assassination that started the genocide.
Hutu political groups based outside Rwanda, where they are free to criticize Kagame's tightly controlled regime, call the report propaganda. In France, the report is sensitive. French relations with Kagame's government are in the process of recovery after French judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere's conflicting 2006 report took bilateral ties to an all-time low. That report was based on the testimony of four individuals, two of whom have now recanted.
Yet with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner in Rwanda last week – and with French president Nicolas Sarkozy traveling there this month – French leaders appear to be tacitly accepting the new findings. That's a significant change, given Kagame government claims of extensive French involvement in the training and support of Hutu extremists, including Col. Bagosora, a charge the French have denied. Bagasora has been convicted of genocide in the Tanzania-based UN tribunal on Rwandan war crimes.
A shrouded issue
For years Habyarimana's assassination has been the most vexing and shrouded issue in assigning responsibility and clarifying history on the onset of Rwanda's 1994 genocide: If Hutu extremists were culpable, it suggests a coup d'état and conspiracy to commit genocide. But if, as the French have long claimed, Kagame is to blame – Judge Bruguiere's view – then the genocide was a result of mob anger caused by Kagame.
The crux of the issue has been where the missiles were fired. The Bruguiere report, which removed the finding of Tutsi complicity, says the missiles came from a zone controlled by Kagame's forces. A United Nations report shortly after the crash found it was at or near Kanombe, held by Hutus.
The "Report of the Investigation into the Causes and Circumstances of and Responsibility for the Attack of 06/04/1994 Against The Falcon 50 Rwandan Presidental Aeroplane Registration Number 9XR-NN," known as the Mutsinzi report, after the lead investigator Jean Mutsinzi, describes the plane as taken down "by three whites with the help of the presidential guard … from the Kanombe military camp." But it does not offer further information on the "whites."
The report's strength, according to early reads by experts, are in setting a context and motive for claims by the current Rwandan government that Hutu extremists were responsible for the downing of the plane. The Arusha peace accords Habyarimana had nearly implemented would have split the Rwandan military, and placed nearly half the Army under the control of Tutsis at a time when the Hutu extremist movements were gaining terrific strength. High-level Hutu extremists surrounding the moderate Habyarimana were loath to let that happen.
Report lays out narrative and a motive
Rue 89, the French daily news website, says the inquiry "provides new elements to understand the narrative of facts and to correct a misunderstanding." Philip Gourevitch of The New Yorker, author of "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda," argue similarly of a "convincing narrative."
In the weeks leading up to the plane crash, three key Habyarimana associates openly threatenedt to kill him, Hutu newspapers and radio stations hinted at removing him between April 2 and 8, Belgian military and UN forces were aware of a plot, and even the crew of the Falcon 50 aircraft were frightened, the report relates.
In one finding, Bagosora had arranged for Habyarimana's Army chief of staff, General Nsabimana, a moderate, to be on the plane. When Nsabimana discovered he would be riding with Habyarimana, he got off the plane in fear and did not reboard until Habyarimana got off and ordered him back.
"The decision to have the Army Chief of Staff traveling to Dar es Salaam with the head of state is absolutely abnormal and amounts to a consipiracy of some sort," the report states.
"[T]he assassination was a coup d'état," Gourevitch wrote last week. "At the time of his death, Habyarimana was on the brink of implementing the Arusha Accords, a power-sharing peace agreement with the Rwandan Patriotic Front, a rebel army led by Paul Kagame .... But the Hutu Power genocidaires wanted to consolidate their power through their campaign of extermination."
Mr. Wallis says, "only hours after the plane went down the presidential guards were in the street killing Hutu and Tutsi moderates. They were ready."
Taking it easy on the French?
The Mutsinzi report does not reach the levels of French complicity assumed by Kagame's government.
Analysts say the questions it raises about French military advisers, such as the shadowy Paul Barril and commando leader Gregoire de Saint-Quentin, are largely unanswered. Most of the alleged involvement of French advisers were under the governments of former Presidents François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac and are part of a significant Franco-African axis of business and dealings in postcolonial Africa – the darker side of which Mr. Sarkozy's government is trying to eclipse.
In 2008, Kagame's chief of protocol, Rose Kabuye, was arrested at an airport in Germany under one of nine warrants Bruguiere issued against Kagame aides for the downing of Habyarimana's plane.
Noting that Mr. Kouchner, France's foreign minister, was greeted at the airport in Rwanda's capital, Kigali, in November by Ms. Kabuye, the newspaper Marianne opined that: "French diplomacy must be ready take a lot upon itself to accept without protest such a diplomatic offense – a Republic minister shaking the hand of a person who is under judicial investigation for a terrorist act," going on to say it borders on "repentence."
Kouchner did not go that far in Kigali, despite Rwandan efforts to gain an apology. Kouchner did say, "We acted badly, but not only France, the world did not react well. The time for asking for forgiveness has not come yet."
Still, the rapprochement signals a desire on both sides to move beyond the bitter past.
"It's a good political move for both sides, because they are doing it on a new basis of pragmatism," says Guillaume Lacaille, an expert on the Great Lakes region for the International Crisis Group in Nairobi, Kenya, says of further Franco-Rwandan bonhomie. "The timing is important. The report was issued two days after Kouchner visited Kagame, and that is not by accident. Both have made the concrete move to put their differences aside and to move forward."
A retired Western diplomat living in Kigali mused that, "In an ideal world, France would apologize to Rwanda, put some 20 former senior French officials in the dock, quickly extradite or try some 15-20 Rwandan genocidaires residing in France, and maybe even pay reparations." However, he adds, "This report is not the end of the story. Like Watergate, if you can't any longer find evidence of the crime, there is evidence of cover up, and the France has been muddying the waters for 15 years."
Mr. Lacaille agrees that this new report will not close the door on the mystery of who shot down the plane. Because it was issued by the Kagame government, he says, the report can never have the same level of independent credibility that would have come with an international UN-run investigation, so it should be seen more as a reflection of politics than of justice. "I don't know who shot that plane," Lacaille says. "We are still in doubt on the deed, and to the families of the victims, it's a little bit frustrating."

Welcome to the website of the Permanent Mission of Finland to the United Nations!
The Permanent Mission of Finland in New York is one of our largest diplomatic missions in the world.
Finland joined the United Nations (UN) in 1955. Established in 1945, the UN is the only intergovernmental organization whose membership comprises nearly all states in the world.
The United Nations is a unique forum for Finland's foreign policy. Finland has a solid profile in the UN. During our ower 60-year membership we have been more influential in the UN than our actual size would lead to believe. Finland and the Finns, from Helvi Sipilä to Martti Ahtisaari, have promoted themes from international peace and security to equality and development. More than 50 000 Finns have been involved in UN peacekeeping operations. A stable international environment, based on cooperation and well-being, has best secured our national interests.
The UN system is global and operates in practically all time zones. The staff of the Permanent Mission of Finland promotes our national interests and the goals of our foreign policy. This task that demands expertise, hard-work and social skills is performed equally in conference rooms and backroom talks. I have the privilege to be a supervisor to a group of Finns who are skilled, motivated and who work well as a team.
It has been in Finland's interest to strengthen international cooperation. An active role in the United Nations is a central part of this policy.
Kai Sauer
Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Finland in the United Nations

A good vet is well worth driving a few extra miles. While the cost of veterinary care is most certainly a factor in the decision pocess, I don't believe that it should be the determining one. While normal stress and wariness are normal in animals out of their normal element, it's important for pets and vets to be able to get along enough to perform a basic exam. Does the vet perform a check-up on your pet during the first visit? Finally, you should locate a capable Vet within ten or fifteen minutes of your home.
A small practice may not have the same level of facilities compared to their larger counterparts and this can affect the range of services that they can offer. Choose a veterinarian who is calm, compassionate and willing to explain all the procedures your pet undergoes. Sometimes an extra few minutes just to pet your dog or give him a special treat can make all the difference in both your pet's experience at the vet, and yours! Moreover, make sure that they have the hours that fit your daily schedule. Recommendations can be a really useful way of finding a vet.
When do I need to bring my pet to a Jacksonville, Florida veterinarian?
When you bring a dog into your life, you are responsible from that day forward for his dog nutrition, dog safety, dog health and dog care. You need to be sure that the clinic is open hours that are convenient for you. Veterinary medicine today is a vast, complex field – to vast for any individual to keep everything they will need in their mind. It is not uncommon for a husband to bring in their pet to tell me it is limping but their wife didn't tell them which leg it was. Independent veterinarians often have greater leeway in setting prices than chains of corporate practices.
Veterinarians close to me in Duval County, Florida that you are looking for is out there. Sure, it would be nice if it were my pet's regular veterinarian, but in an emergency, I want treatment immediately. But take reviews of a cat hospital with a grain of salt, according to Dr. Patty Khuly, as they often reflect subjective cases of financial coverage, rather than the care they provide. Instead, they routinely dealt with his associate. If you are choosing a vet for the first time, word of mouth is probably the best way to get started.
How much does it cost to visit a Jacksonville, Florida veterinarian?
You"re going to be entrusting your cat"s life to these people so it"s important that you feel comfortable with them. Judge whether or not they are giving you all the required information and that there are no unanswered questions on your end. For example, people need to find a vet who is able to take care of pets if they eat something poisonous, suffer a traumatic accident, or contract a serious infection. There are no standard fees for veterinary services or medications, so enquire prior to treatment about costs for routine check-ups or specific treatments that you are advised that your pet will need.
For a listing of feline veterinarians, use the Find a Feline Practitioner search on the American Association of Feline Practioners' website. Search out what information you can from the site, such as location, rates, specializations, and number of employees. Although they are important, what's even more important is the opportunity for you and the veterinarian in Jacksonville, Florida 32202 to get to know each other. Family members, friends and neighbors can always refer you their Vet of choice. Your new Vet should be someone who seems knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely interested in the health of your cat.

How to choose the perfect Jacksonville, Florida veterinarian for my pet?
Because even the most cooperative pet may not readily go-along with a tooth and gum brushing, feel free to start a discussion with your vet about when to start a deep-cleaning dental schedule. A caring veterinarian in Jacksonville, Florida will reach out to the community as an advocate for proper animal care, serving as an example of how to treat our constant companions with respect and kindness. We can't plan for them and unfortunately they also can happen at all hours of the night. If you work long hours you might want to check if the practice is open on weekday evenings or at the weekend.
And also inquire about any areas of health care that are specific to your pet. Condition of the office is also a good clue to your veterinarian's priorities. Nothing makes for more miscommunication and veterinary frustration than one member of the family noticing a problem and a different, uninformed member of the family presenting the pet to the vet.

Shortly after the "Disney buys Lucasfilm" announcement, Disney execs hashed out the details on an investor conference call, and explained just what this massive acquisition means for you and me. Here's the run down of what we learned:
- In 2015, Disney hopes to release Star Wars: Episode VII with plans to release Episode VIII and EpisodeIX in the following years. Expect a new Star Wars film every to to three years.
- Along with Lucasfilm, Disney has purchased an extensive treatment for the brand NEW Star Wars trilogy. Episode VII is in "early development" but we're guessing the groundwork is already being planned.
- George Lucas is a consultant on Episode VII but his intent is to retire.
- Disney plans on utilizing Star Wars in parks, resorts, television and film. But we're not expecting a live action TV show just yet. We're betting another Star Wars cartoon could be appearing on DisneyXD.
- What about Indiana Jones? Well, Dr. Jones is still a part of the overall purchase package - but Paramount still owns the distribution rights to the films. So don't hold your breath for a Disney Indy movie just yet.
Overall, the bulk of this call was about Star Wars - in a nutshell, Disney execs wanted Luke, Han and the whole Universe so they could branch it out as they saw fit. And with Lucas eyeing retirement, there's no limit as to what this franchise could become.

Tarol Hunt first tried to place his comics on the internet as a child in the 80's. Discovering that this would be an almost impossible task until the internet was invented, he tried again in 2005 with much greater success. As a child, Tarol drew scores of comics, mostly involving Dungeons & Dragons. He was inspired by other comics like Elfquest, Heavy Metal Magazine and Dragon Magazine (well you know, the back of Dragon Magazine… where the comics were).
Without Danielle Stephens, there would be no Goblins. Danielle colours and edits most of the comic and is Tarol's best friend, soul mate and wife. She provides crucial emotional support during the stressful times and is the source of much of the happiness felt by all those around her.

Since we launched The Gnomon Workshop in May of 2000, we have received a great response from the scores of people and studios who have bought our training tutorials.
Customers range from studios and individuals, to schools and training centers including: Sony Pictures Imageworks, Pixar Animation Studios, Industrial Light and Magic, Weta, DreamWorks Feature Animation, Rhythm & Hues, Blur Studio, Midway Games, Blizzard Entertainment, Microsoft, Bad Robot, Epic Games, Electronic Arts, Blue Sky Studios, 2K Games, Bioware, JPL, NASA, Walt Disney Animation Studios, NBC, ESPN, Square Enix, Vancouver Film School, The Academy of Art, The Art Institutes, Savannah College of Art and The Art Center College of Design.
Special Effects guy
"I only wish that Gnomon had existed when I was a kid. It's that brilliant nexus of imagination and practical reality; a place where dreamers learn to realize, share and bring to life the visions in their heads. The latest and greatest technology is meaningless without inspired instruction.
This is what Gnomon has in spades. Their professors - and founders - are people who truly inspire. They don't just teach the 'how to' - they give you context, understanding and expectations of 'how to on the job'. Theirs is a practical approach to actually working in film, video and gaming. It's that amazing ideal, where art and making a living peacefully co-exist. You can certainly become a successful working artist without Gnomon, but with their pedigree, placement stats, culture and track record, why take that chance?"
CEO Bad Robot Productions
Director Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Trek, Super 8
"Gnomon tutorials are a staple in our libraries at Disney Feature Animation. Artist training is very important at Disney, and has been since the days of Walt. We rely on the tutorials to supplement our classes and to provide a more personalized schedule for the production artist seeking to broaden their skill sets."
Patricia Beckmann
Manager of Artistic & Professional Dev
Disney Feature Animation, Circle Seven
"Gnomon has created a series of tutorials that will appeal to anyone interested in a career path in visual arts. The availability of these lessons represents a significant opportunity for artists everywhere to elevate their skillsets to the next level."
Jim McCampbell
Department Head, Computer Animation
Ringling School of Art & Design
The Gnomon Workshop tutorials are a valuable source of information for the amateur or novice artist. They cover practically every aspect of art for the entertainment and Illustration industries touching upon both the basics and more advanced production techniques. The techniques and information provided by the instructors is both easy to follow and understand as well as eye opening and inspirational. I'd recommend picking up titles of your favorite artists, series that cover areas of interest, or areas you feel you lack knowledge in.
Mike Corriero
Concept Artist & Illustrator
"I'd like thank you guys for all the hard work you've done over the years. I didn't have money for college so I spent what money I could come up with on your video series. Because of your excellent training dvds, I was able to create a reel that got me a job where I am today and I am eternally thankful."
Matt Skonicki
Cinematics Character Artist
Midway Games
"Extensive learning courses in the Gnomon Workshop library are hands down the most crucial training solution to our studio. Also we have seen Gnomon's reputation being even greater overseas. At our recent Philippines studio, our employees are constantly learning from Gnomon's online programs. As an art service company, we always need to have a wide range of expertise and Gnomon has built a colossal library of creative knowledge which we can have access to 24/7. I truly appreciate Gnomon's vision to help anyone have access to better themselves and chase their dreams. "
Chief Creative Officer - Section Studios
"Over the past few years the Gnomon Workshop website, and their tutorials, have really helped me to grow as an artist; not only artisticaly but also in terms of speeding up and streamlining my workflow. Thanx guys!"
Lead Concept Artist
"The Gnomon Workshop has shown me the way to work on teams, has shown me good techniques and has opened my eyes into a new world, a world of imagination and magic. Now I have to open a door to go inside that world."
"I owe all of my success to Gnomon and to the irreplaceable and unbeatable education they gave me. Before Gnomon I was in a boring corporate job. Because of Gnomon, over the past 7 years I have landed me a dream job with an awesome Illustration studio and have been able to support my family with the income I make professionally. That for me is when the rubber hit the road, I was able to transform the Gnomon tutorials into real world usable knowledge that helped me provide for my family. That to me is why I owe so much to Gnomon."
"The Gnomon Workshops training materials provide cutting edge technical information that artists need, but they go beyond this by showing how top professionals apply these techniques to industry level projects. I highly recommend any Gnomon tutorial, for whatever project you want to create."
Lead Animator
The Banff Arts Centre
"We have been very pleased with the step by step method of training used in the Gnomon training tutorials. The explanations for each of the tool options is especially helpful. We have been able to save many weeks of in-house training, as the DVDs provide valuable help not available from Alias/Wavefront in such a helpful hands-on method of instruction."
Viewpoint Corp.
"For whatever it is worth I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the instruction, your attention to detail and the thoroughness of presentation. Your demonstration of the tools and topics offers the student a concise and intelligible coverage of the matter. I really want to thank you for the help they have been so far and I only look forward to future training materials."
"Like so many other artist, I've always considered myself as self taught. But what I should have said is Gnomon taught. Your tutorials are a big part of my education, because they enable you to learn in a very structured and intelligent way. It's like having a university with all the leading professionals working as instructors."
"The learning that the Gnomon Workshop has provided is like the fountain of life. Everytime I pick up a new video, I feel rejuvenated, excited at the prospect of learning something new from a master artist."

Middletown, Nj — A part-time administrative employee at the Community YMCA's Red Bank Family Health and Fitness Center in Red Bank, NJ, tested positive for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to a statement from the Y.
In response, the Y is following the recommendations for preventing the spread of MRSA from the local health department, the Centers for Disease Control and the YMCA of the USA Medical Advisory Committee. The Y will remain open, but the infected employee is not working there.
In the statement, the Community YMCA says, "Although environment (facilities, equipment, etc.) has not played a significant role in the transmission of MRSA in the outbreaks documented to date, our management staff is alert to the MRSA cases that have been reported across the country, and we are taking appropriate action in response at our facility."
The Y provides hand sanitizers throughout its facility, towels to wipe down equipment and instructions on how to prevent the transmission of MRSA. Y staff training curriculum includes simple ways to minimize and control the risk factors associated with transmission, including skin-to-skin contact, openings in the skin such as cuts or abrasions, and contaminated items and surfaces, according to the statement.
MRSA outbreaks are becoming more common. Recently, student recreation centers began taking precautions to help stop the spread of MRSA. Fairleigh Dickinson University (NJ) installed hand sanitizer dispensers throughout campus after a student there was diagnosed with MRSA in September. After a staph infection case was reported at Centenary College in Hackettstown, NJ, the college disinfected its student recreation center and weight room, and towels were discarded.

(UK) Opera Today Review: "Les Arts Florissants: Airs sérieux et à boire" by Claire Seymour (24 Dec 2013)
From a recent Opera Today review article:
William Christie, director; Emmanuelle de Negri, soprano; Anna Reinhold, mezzo-soprano; Cyril Auvity, high tenor; Marc Mauillon, baritone; Lisandro Abadie, bass. Wigmore Hall, London, Thursday 19th December 2013.
"In this unusual programme of late-seventeenth-century airs de cour, Les Arts Florissants presented a flowing sequence of songs for solo and ensemble voices with chamber accompaniment, the intimacy of the Wigmore Hall neatly mimicking the privacy of the royal chambers of Louis XIV in which the courtly compositions were originally performed. ...

(UK) Rare restoration: Handel's Esther 1720 (Review: Claire Seymour, 3 May 2013)
Location: Wigmore Hall, London UK
"Composed between 1718 and 1720, Handel's Esther is sometimes described as the 'first English Oratorio', but is in fact a hybrid form, mixing elements of oratorio, masque, pastoral and opera. ...

Bellis wins with her 3:55 a.m. Tuesday guess "The first traffic signal in Pasadena? I'm guessing the year could be 1910 or thereabouts, and the location Fair Oaks and Colorado."
The photo above was one of many taken to document the installation of new traffic signals in downtown Pasadena. Unfortunately the year and specific intersection are not identified.
Here's the best guess as to the date, according to Pasadena Public Library research staff:
This photo was taken for the Pasadena Water and Power Department (then called the Power Department), most likely to record the installation of new traffic signals. Although we can be certain that it was taken in Old Town Pasadena, the background is too blurry to suggest a definite location and date. However, one can reasonably use photo 5002 to establish a date for this photo. The two photos were clearly taken at the same time for the same purpose. Interestingly, photo 5002 also displays the same police officer so prominent in this photo.
And here's photo 5002, at Colorado Street and Fair Oaks Avenue:
The most recent traffic signal at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Orange Grove Boulevard was installed in May 2011 as part of an ongoing citywide effort to enhance pedestrian safety.
There was a big celebration in the street that day, followed by practice in safe street-crossing for the students at Madison School, which is just around the corner.
Here are children learning about the inner workings of traffic signals that day. That's Fred Dock, director of the Transportation Department, behind City Councilman Victor Gordo.
Learn more about pedestrian safety here.
Many thanks to Pasadena Public Library and Vannia De La Cuba.

In this post we want to share how our resources manager implementation helped us when we had to localize Clash of the Olympians.
Our resources manager
Some time ago we started a small java project named jresourcesmanager (yeah, the most creative name in the world) which provides a simple abstraction of what a resource is and how it is loaded. It consists in some basic concepts named Resource, DataLoader and ResourceManager.
Is the concept of an application resource/asset, and provides an API to know if the resource is loaded or not and to load and unload it. Here is the code:
public class Resource<T> { T data = null; DataLoader<T> dataLoader; protected Resource(DataLoader<T> dataLoader) { this(dataLoader, true); } protected Resource(DataLoader<T> dataLoader, boolean deferred) { this.dataLoader = dataLoader; if (!deferred) reload(); } /** * Returns the data stored by the Resource. */ public T get() { if (!isLoaded()) load(); return data; } public void set(T data) { this.data = data; } public DataLoader<T> getDataLoader() { return dataLoader; } public void setDataLoader(DataLoader<T> dataLoader) { unload(); this.dataLoader = dataLoader; } /** * Reloads the internal data by calling unload and load(). */ public void reload() { unload(); load(); } /** * Loads the data if it wasn't loaded yet, it does nothing otherwise. */ public void load() { if (!isLoaded()) data = dataLoader.load(); } /** * Unloads the data by calling the DataLoader.unload(t) method. */ public void unload() { if (isLoaded()) { dataLoader.unload(data); data = null; } } /** * Returns true if the data is loaded, false otherwise. */ public boolean isLoaded() { return data != null; } public Resource<T> clone() { return new Resource<T>(dataLoader); } }
Provides an API to define a way to load and unload a Resource, here is the code:
public abstract class DataLoader<T> { /** * Implements how to load the data. */ public abstract T load(); /** * Implements how to unload the data, if it is nod automatic and you need to unload stuff by hand. */ public void unload(T t) { } /** * Provides a way to return custom information about the data loader. * * @return An object with the custom information. */ public Object getMetaData() { return null; } }
It is just a map with all the resources identified by a key, which can be a String for example, and an API to store and get resources to and from, respectively.
That is our resources management code, it is really simple and fulfilled our needs in assets loading/unloading for Vampire Runner and Clash of the Olympians.
The interesting part of this library is that it allows you to store whatever you want to consider as a resource/asset, and that feature is what we used in order to solve the localization issue.
Declaring resources
Another important pillar is how we declare resources in an easy way through the code, and that is by using some builders that simplified the resource declaration. As we were using LibGDX library, we created a resource builder for LibGDX assets and more. This resource builder allowed us to do stuff like this:
splitLoadingTextureAtlas("MainTextureAtlas", "data/images/screens/mainmenu/pack"); resource("MainBackgroundTop", sprite2().textureAtlas("MainTextureAtlas", "mainmenu-bg", 1).center(0.5f, 0.5f).trySpriteAtlas());
That declares a texture atlas with the name of MainTextureAtlas and then a resource which is a sprite with the name of MainBackgroundTop from a texture atlas resource identified by the previous name. Also, allow us to do stuff like declare that the sprite is centered in the middle (the anchor point) and more.
This code is not important, just an example of some of our builders.
Declaring localized resources
As we have the power to create complex resource builders and we needed a simple way to switch between assets given the language selected, we created a resource builder which allowed us to declare different resources, depending the current locale, using the same identifier. So, for example, we can do something like this:
resource("CreditsButton", new MultilanguageResourceBuilder<Sprite>() // .defaultLocale(new Locale("en")) // .resource(new Locale("en"), sprite2().textureAtlas(TextureAtlases.MeinMenu, "mainmenu-but-credits-en", 1).trySpriteAtlas()) // .resource(new Locale("es"), sprite2().textureAtlas(TextureAtlases.MeinMenu, "mainmenu-but-credits-es", 1).trySpriteAtlas()) // );
That declares a resource named CreditsButton which returns a sprite with index 1 and name "mainmenu-but-credits-en" from a texture atlas in case the locale is English and a sprite with index 1 and name "mainmenu-but-credits-es" in case the locale is Spanish. It also declares that the default locale (in case a resource for the current locale wasn't found) is English.
This resource builder was very handy because it allowed us to declare any type of resource for different locales, and from the application side it was transparent, we just ask for the resource CreditsButton.
In case you are interested, the code of the MultilanguageResoruceBuilder is:
public class MultilanguageResourceBuilder<T> implements ResourceBuilder<T> { private Map<Locale, ResourceBuilder<T>> resourceBuilders = new HashMap<Locale, ResourceBuilder<T>>(); private Locale defaultLocale; @Override public boolean isVolatile() { if (defaultLocale == null) throw new IllegalStateException("Multilanguage resource builder needs a default locale"); ResourceBuilder<T> resourceBuilder = resourceBuilders.get(defaultLocale); if (resourceBuilder == null) throw new IllegalStateException("Multilanguage resource builder needs a default resource builder"); return resourceBuilder.isVolatile(); } public MultilanguageResourceBuilder<T> defaultLocale(Locale locale) { this.defaultLocale = locale; return this; } public MultilanguageResourceBuilder<T> resource(Locale locale, ResourceBuilder<T> resourceBuilder) { resourceBuilders.put(locale, resourceBuilder); return this; } @Override public T build() { Locale locale = Locale.getDefault(); if (defaultLocale == null) throw new IllegalStateException("Multilanguage resource builder needs a default locale"); if (!resourceBuilders.containsKey(locale)) locale = defaultLocale; ResourceBuilder<T> resourceBuilder = resourceBuilders.get(locale); if (resourceBuilder == null) throw new IllegalStateException("Multilanguage resource builder needs a default resource builder"); return resourceBuilder.build(); } }
That was the way we used to support multiple languages in a transparent way for the application, we just need to change the current locale and reload the assets.
Hope this blog post idea helps you in case you are about to support multiple languages in your game, and see you next time.

HIV, Neuropathy and More: Avoiding Becoming a Nervous Wreck
HIV and Sexual Assault in Times of War: Conscious Acts of Terror
November 17, 2014
I wonder where you're reading this. On your tablet on your way to work? Sitting with a glass of wine in the warmth of your home? In a café on the corner? Wherever it is, I would imagine most of you will be glancing at it in a position of comfort, with all mod cons around you, warm and well-fed, just as I am while writing it.
The Condom Conundrum: What Good Are They Anyway?
September 26, 2014
Before you get the wrong idea, this is not a call for the abandonment of rubbers in favour of uninhibited sex. It's an attempt to place condoms in the context of a world where sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are out to get us at every turn.
Houston, We Have an HIV PR Problem
September 17, 2014
It's no secret that I'm a supporter of better education regarding the safety of people with an undetectable viral load. I've had many reactions to that stance and almost all were supportive. I'm not alone in this; many serious voices have been lobbying for a better understanding of the word "undetectable." However, a significant minority both misunderstand and take offense at the message, claiming selfish motives to justify abandoning condoms for bareback sex. We're being accused of being in some HIV-positive clique, intent on converting others to our perversities.
I'm Positive, I'm on Treatment, I'm Undetectable, So Get Off My Case!
September 2, 2014
Okay, look out folks, senior citizen out of control and about to rant!
When Push Comes to Shove ... How Far Would You Go to Eradicate HIV?
June 23, 2014
It always seems pretty weak to begin an article with a disclaimer; as if you don't really believe in what you're writing. Well in this case, I genuinely don't know what to believe. My instinct says that governments who force people to do things are always a bad thing but I can't find a reasonable argument to defeat the premise of this post. Maybe readers can give me something more than a moral objection to the question posed here; maybe a moral objection is enough but the point is, I think we should at least talk about it.
The Painful Reality of Neuropathy
May 14, 2014
Occasionally, everybody tingles, or has numb fingers or toes, or feels the nerve at the back of their leg twitch to give them shooting pain. They may be woken by restless legs that shudder without reason, or recoil if they touch something too hot or too cold, or conclude they've got a trapped nerve somewhere on their bodies. These are all perfectly normal but nothing prepares you for the effects of your nervous system going into major short-circuit mode!
The Bug Chaser's Tale: An Interview
March 3, 2014
I've been exchanging emails with Jamie for about 9 months now; at first not for any other reason than he has neuropathy and has got it bad. He has followed the same frustrating path that many people do when faced with burning feet and loss of sensation in toes. Each treatment is equally as ineffective as the last and like many of us he has ended up on opiates which have finally given him some relief.
Please Don't Leave Me Because I Need You: An HIV Take on Separation Anxiety
January 22, 2014
My last article was about people who find it very difficult to commit to others; no matter how much they care about them, they just can't get over that feeling that they're going to become someone's property and lose their sense of self. Those people rarely open up to the possibilities of a relationship.
Please Don't Ask Me to Say I Love You: An HIV Take on Commitment Phobia
January 14, 2014
If you're living with HIV, you've already been through stuff; that's a given. You may have seen friends or lovers dying, or being seriously ill and recovering by the skin of their teeth to live on bearing the scars. You may also have had your own brushes with disaster, leading to a well-justified and experience-based fear of the unknown and the future. If you're lucky, you've found a partner along the way to share shit with; someone to lift you up when you're down, just as you do to them. If you're not so lucky, you may be living alone, hoping that a new relationship may turn up; or just getting along, grabbing moments when you can and getting through, happy enough but not looking for wedding bells on the horizon.
Nelson Mandela: Great Is Too Small a Word
December 6, 2013
While most modern leaders base their careers on the Machiavellian quote that "It is better to be feared than loved," a handful of people throughout history prove by their lives and work that that doesn't necessarily have to be true. Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa are names that spring to mind but history may judge Nelson Mandela to be possibly the greatest of them all. His ability to unite a land on the edge of chaos and riddled with partisan hatred and division, after 27 years of imprisonment and personal humiliation, is nothing short of miraculous.
HIV, Neuropathy and More: Avoiding Becoming a Nervous Wreck
Dave R.
English but living since 1986 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. HIV+ since 2004 and a neuropathy patient since 2007. I've seen quite a bit, done quite a bit and bought quite a few t-shirts if you know what I mean; but all that baggage makes me what I am today: a better person I believe, despite it all.
Arriving on TheBody.com, originally, was the end result of getting neuropathy as a side effect of the medication, or the virus, or both. I found it such a vague disease and discovered very little information that wasn't commercially tinged, or scientifically impenetrable, so I decided to create a daily Blog and a website where practical information, hints, tips and experiences for patients could be gathered together in one place.
However, I was also given the chance to write about other aspects of living with HIV and have now contributed more articles about those than about neuropathy. That said, neuropathy remains my 'core subject' although one which unfortunately dominates both my life and that of many other HIV-positive people.
I'm not a doctor or qualified medical expert, just someone with neuropathy and HIV who has spent the last few years researching the illness and trying to create information sources for people who want to know more.
I also have my own personal website and write for PositiveLite.com.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- That's right, Wall Street, the president of the United States ignored you. President Barack Obama delivered lines Tuesday night in his State of the Union address about how the country has emerged from the rubble of economic crisis, his hope to allow families to more easily refinance their homes and the need for deficit reduction, among other economic issues. And yet Obama didn't once mention Wall Street, banks or finance. "He made climate change the biggest possible job creator for the nation, never mentioned the boys of Wall Street and took out his election score card -- women, gays, immigrants -- and had a program or a promise that government could deliver to ensure a level playing field," said Arnie Arnesen, former New Hampshire Democratic gubernatorial nominee. Obama intertwined climate change with his pitch for a reformed energy policy in the United States. The president didn't ignore the reality that grand change must acknowledge market-based solutions. It was a critical recognition by Obama, who suffered a thumping from Republicans in the 2012 election for his first-term backing of failed government-funded "green" initiatives such as Solyndra. Obama mentioned the stock market once during the beginning of his speech, noting that major U.S. equity markets are rebounding. Tuesday's speech coincided with the Dow's highest close since Oct. 12, 2007, according to data compiled by S&P Dow Jones Indices. Though the president's fresh energy pitch didn't lift many Republicans to their feet, there were a range of other issues that suggested a less divided Congress than during the past couple of years. Topics about immigration, the need for entitlement reform and the continued success of counter-terrorism efforts offered American audiences the image of united lawmakers. "I think that it is safe to say that the mood was much less worse than you've seen in a lot of his previous ones," said Robert Tipp, chief investment strategist at Prudential Fixed Income. "There was a less acrimonious environment, and probably more times when you saw people on both sides of the aisle clapping at the same time. I'd like to think that suggests a slightly more productive tone."
As the president has exhibited in his previous State of the Union addresses, he spent considerable time talking about the need for continued support of business growth and a strong labor market. Obama told one example of a warehouse in Youngstown, Ohio -- a manufacturing town that helped his re-election bid -- that had once been shuttered but has since been converted into a "state-of-the-art" 3D printing lab. But with the impending struggle over the sequester and tension among Democrats and Republicans on gun reform, there were enough moments in Obama's State of the Union address that his opponents see him as a president bent on a liberal policy agenda. "Economies don't grow on intentions," said Patrick Arnold, a Republican consultant at Arnold Group Communications. "America needed an address that called out Congress with feet to the fire. Instead, they learned about 3D printing." Maybe the president figured it was an uplifting alternative to the typical Wall Street rhetoric. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email.

Design Your Future At the Right School
So you're passionate about web design and perhaps you're contemplating enrolling in a web design program or institution. Now what? Well it doesn't have to be as hard as you think. When you're searching for the perfect design school it's easy to become overwhelmed with the variety of options out there. Which is why you should prepare yourself by becoming aware of any preliminary factors to applying to a web design college or university before you decide which application to submit.
Know your Focus First and foremost, while you know that you want to be a web designer, it's important to know your focus within the program. Since not every design school has the same curriculum, it's good to know what courses you're walking into before hand and whether or not they would be beneficial to your focus. There are plenty of roles you can take on as a designer and it's good to know exactly what it is you want to do with your web design education and what kind of role you want to play in the web design world.
Know the Requirements You should know the requirements for a web design program. Whether you're fresh out of high school or may be interested in continuing your education after attaining your college degree somewhere else, each college or university has their own preliminary requirements for entering their web design program. Although a lot of the criteria consist of general and common courses, pre-requisite classes and exams may be required before you can qualify to submit an application.
It's also wise to know which schools are accredited and which are not so if you ever want to transfer or attain an additional degree at another institution, you want to make sure your credits transfer without a problem. If the school is not accredited you can become at risk for non transferable credits and ultimately may have to retake some courses. Not only that but if you graduate from an accredited school, your degree holds a much higher value.
Know the Curriculum It doesn't hurt to visit the college or university's website so you can catch a glimpse at the courses and course descriptions. This helps you prepare both mentally and financially when it comes to the course work-load, the information you will learn from your web design courses, any additional supplies you may need as well as textbooks.
Whether you're considering attending a college campus or an online university, you can't go wrong figuring out the basics of your search. Your dream web design school isn't too far from your reach! As long as you do your research early, figure out what it is you really want to do within the field of web design and prepare yourself from there, you can't go wrong. Remember to find what fits YOU best and the rest will fall into place. Good luck with your search!

Corrosive Subsidies in MENA
Half the world's energy subsidies are in the Middle East and North Africa Region. These subsidies have been criticized on grounds that they crowd out public spending on valuable items such as health, education and capital investment. Egypt for instance spends seven times more on fuel subsidies than on health. Furthermore, the allocation of these subsidies is heavily skewed towards the rich, who consume more fuel and energy than the poor. In Yemen, the portion of fuel subsidies going to the richest quintile was 40 percent; the comparable figure in Jordan was 45 percent and in Egypt, 60 percent.

I am posting this from the Squash House. Mr. Squash stayed home and I came over just for the night to deliver my 3 Bernina's and our precious fly rods. While we have a fantastic moving company, we wanted to bring these prized possessions over ourselves! Here is what the back of my car looked like at 7:30 this morning! You can see two of my sewing machines on the left (one in the blue carrier) and the other is under the Ricoh box!
My Pilot was packed to the hilt with the rest of my studio contents (mostly boxes of fabric), but there was room behind the front seats for the fly rods!
I'm so sorry I haven't been able to visit many blogs this past week. If all goes well next week, I'll have some time in the afternoons to catch up, but I have a feeling from now until December 1st my life is going to be crazy! I am keeping up with email right now, but that's about all I've been able to handle!
Check back again in 2-3 days - I'm going to have a giveaway! It's going to be a fun one, so come back soon!

- To create packages not normally provided by the FreeBSD Project in the installation DVD, such as the XFCE desktop environment
- To create updated packages and installation media that could be used long after the initial official release and still be up to date.
This project was using the somewhat aged packaging system (commands like pkg_add, pkg_info etc) and the release process would integrate the custom packages to the sysinstall system of the installation DVD. You could then install them like the official packages, during the main installation.
From the beginning this project was plagued with several problems: the release process was lengthy and error prone. Sometimes the packages would fail to integrate properly with sysinstall (the system installer at that time). Testing was tedious and time consuming and package errors meant the whole build would have to be repeated, usually from scratch. Combine this with a rather modest build system, this whole thing was taking huge amounts of time while its output was rather low.
Fast forward to today: 9.2-RELEASE has pkgng, a whole new packaging system (although the older system is still the default). The new installer, bsdinstall only installs the base system and does not interfere with packages in any way (a good thing IMHO). Building packages for pkgng is a lot easier, using the ports-mgmt/poudriere tool. And I do have a little monster now: an i5 with 32GB of RAM that allows me to run ZFS on memory disk and complete both 32 and 64 bit build in a single day, with time to spare. Since the packages do not have to be integrated to the installer, as long as there are no build errors in poudriere, they will work without problems. Testing is a lot faster and easier.
Custom releases are back! Starting today with a DVD containing 9.2-RELEASE and a selection of packages for XFCE, desktop productivity, browsers, Xorg and much more:
- FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE pkgng XFCE 64bit (amd64)
- FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE pkgng XFCE 32bit (i386)
- MD5 Checksums
The complete list of top level ports used in this compilation is available in the README-PKGNG file of the DVD, along with more detailed installation instructions. A preconfigured VirtualBox image is also available.
Happy (desktop) FreeBSDing!

Editor's Note: The following video is provided courtesy of Steven Kwasnik, producer of On Canvas, which airs on WHYY-TV in Philadelphia. It's the story of Vermont rocker Grace Potter and the band The Nocturnals, and their rise to fame. Along the way she reflects on Vermont and her family upbringing. Addison Independent and Vermont Ski & Ride Magazine editor and publisher Angelo Lynn wrote extensive stories on the Potter family a couple of years ago (focusing on Grace's dad, Sparky and her mom, Peggy, as two of the original ski bums that made successful careers along the way) which, along a few photos of the family, were used in the video. We're happy to share and to be a part of this great Vermont story, and cheers to On Canvas for a well-done profile with ample footage of Grace rocking out.

And did you disable all the advanced options in opengl settings? Also what windows do you have, vista64? My cs4 doesn't work in xp32 and didn't work with older video card(7600gs) but now runs perfectly with ati 4870 on vista64. It's also good that now i can throw 6gigs of ram at photoshop. There's also a dockable color picker in the works (link). There are serious compatibility issues with the program but if you get past them, it's pretty cool. The panning is annoying but I got used to it. The only thing that really really annoys me is that the new brush resize shortcut can't resize dual-brushes properly.

Back to top Tanjjunior memberMember #Joined: 08 Mar 2009Posts: 1 Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2009 2:06 pm I've got mixed feelings about CS4. I think they did a nice job of streamlining the interface across all their apps. It's a big improvement for those of us that have to use Photoshop with Illustrator, Flash, or other programs. But, aside from canvas rotation, there aren't any real improvements for digital painting. It's easy to turn off flick panning, tabs, and other annoying features in preferences. As for speed, it was decent on my work PC until I updated my NIVIDIA drivers and then it crapped out. I was able to improve it by turning off most of the GPU options and setting my NVIDIA controls to performance over quality. On a happier note, I haven't noticed any difference in speed on my MacBook Pro at home and it's running just fine with GPU settings turned on. Back to top ianuccijunior memberMember #Joined: 01 Jul 2008Posts: 12 Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 9:49 am I was really looking forward to CS4 because of the GPU features but its not compatible with XP 64. One of the developers said this was due to bugs with that version of windows which MS has no intention of fixing. I frankly don't buy that, but anyway I'm not sure i fancy switching to Vista just yet. Back to top Max OstapmemberMember #Joined: 25 Apr 2007Posts: 70Location: LA Posted: Tue May 26, 2009 3:40 am Hey, just small update. CS4 - two thumbs up. I am now happy with CS4. I don't know if its the latest update or what, but I've been using it at school and have installed it at home. There are no more slowdowns. Maybe the reason for sluggish brush performance was the unoptimized brush engine. Which for some reason is not sluggish anymore after update. I guess cs4 uses similar stroke management as painter and alias... its really good. Also... canvas rotation works fine even on large documents. And aliased unlike last version of painter i tried. This below was a test, done at 3500px wide. Back to top SynnicalmemberMember #Joined: 28 May 2005Posts: 177Location: Toronto, Canada Posted: Tue May 26, 2009 6:44 am I am not upgrading until they've added the Craig Mullins 'make art' filter. btw, sweet sketch, max. Back to top xbrianxmemberMember #Joined: 30 Jun 2006Posts: 134Location: Savannah, GA Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2009 5:25 pm I'm using the CS4 demo on my laptop now. I was reading through the thread and I was a bit curious as to why some people thought about the program the way they did, because it works perfectly fine for me with duel core 2.66ghz processor, 512MB video card, and 5GB DDR3 RAM. Then again, I haven't done any huge paintings, but I haven't had any sluggish brush strokes with the brushes I use either- which aren't the simplest of kinds. I guess I must be using an updated version of the demo. Unfortunately, the demo runs out in 1 day, so I'll have to get CS4... another way... By the way, if they add a Craig Mullins filter, I hope they add a Whit Brachna and Dylan Cole filter to give the painting a more traditional look or to make the colors look better. A Sparth filter would be pretty sweet too, who would need crazy brushes then? _________________DeviantART Facebook Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Sijun Forums Forum Index -> Random Musings All times are GMT - 8 HoursGoto page Previous 1, 2 Page 2 of 2 Jump to: Select a forum Digital Art----------------Digital Art DiscussionWork in ProgressGallery/Finished Work Miscellaneous----------------Random MusingsArchive : Sep99 - Dec00 You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2005 phpBB Group
