![]() Rose then went into a small closet and continued walking through.Confused,I followed her to find it was stair case and was really tight in here.We entered into a puke green colored hallway accompanied by two windows on on each side.The left wall consisted of two doors and the right a large double door.I pointed towards the large double door giving her questioning face."What's in there?"I asked.Instead of answering my question she walked over and opened the door and beckons me to come take a look.Well she was very talkative today. Coming back to the real world I realized that Rose had been giving me a tour of the house.Recapping what I had heard her say in my trance like state I realized we were on the second floor.The first floor had consisted of the kitchen,the family room,and a bathroom.The floor we were currently on you get to by the spiral stair case and was mostly a couple of guest rooms and a private study.She also explained that she would be sleeping down here.I wonder where will I be sleeping. When Rose told me ihad a break down and winded up in rehab for a few months.I haven't smiled since because i know that they weren't when they crashed into those waters.They were my ray of sunshine and now their gone. My parents died six months ago in a car crash.It had been the night of their big charity ball.They had been raising money for orphans and families in need.They were on their way to the ball when a drunk driver collided into them sending them off the mountain into the relentless waters of the ocean. A lion and a wolf standing side by side on their hind legs staring off at something in distance as a long vine circled around them.It had been something my mom and dad often had placed on letters,businesses sheets,mom's diary.I just wanna say I did not look in her diary I just managed to see the cover.Mom and Dad. I could drive around town."Okay ,fine" she said feeling defeated."Thank you" I said feeling satisfied.Īs she opened the door I noticed a symbol I seen many time before. With me being taller than her by a foot I made it harder for her to get them."Hand over the car keys and I'll give them up without a fight"I said using a taunting tone.She had refused to let me drive my car lately because of my speeding and I really wanted them back so. I lightly treaded over to Rose who was having trouble finding the keys.She started furiously rummaging through her purse."Looking for these"I said holding them above her head.She then reached over the top of her head trying to get them. ![]() Diamonds are a girl's best friend, and Evangeline needs all the friends she can get.Grabbing my attention,Rose began walking up the stone path towards behemoth that was to be my new home,a Victorian behemoth to be exact.It stood three stories tall with a light jasmin as it's primary color and a white Italianate trimming.At the top coming out of the of the roof was a turret (little tower that projects vertically out of a building)with a large window that probably let you see the whole area of woods behind me.It also had a large wrap around porch that already had four rocking chairs posted along it.It had been my great grandma Anne's who claimed it could put Panama beach to shame and I agreed with her. I had to give it to her, after all, she is adrift in a storm. It is very well made, and will probably last longer than she does. You know, things a girl just does not leave home without.I do not keep boxes, but I kept her tag and little card.I, also, gave her a crystal - diamond - necklace, which belonged to a Princess Diana doll. ![]() That is why I bought her, and why purple is my favorite color - it is the perfect storm coupled with black and gray.In the purse or overnight bag, you will find money hidden in bloomers, comb, compact, scissors, eye shadow with brush, a key, and a crystal. 'Lost in the Storm' is the prettiest Evangeline I have seen. I can just imagine her showing up at your door with those wild eyes, carrying the bag I put together for her, and asking if she can come in and get warm. ![]() She has violet eyes, and the colors in her dress and in her face come together just like a storm. You will be able to see this from my pictures. Evangeline Ghastly 'Lost in the Storm' is a beautiful doll.

![]() Had This Is Nashville been on the air at the time, we might have brought Blake in live from the field (spotty cell phone coverage notwithstanding). Blake Farmer was in Mayfield covering the story for NPR. In the aftermath of the tornadoes, the station was doing what it does best, with reporters on the ground and in-house collecting and updating vital information. Many of us, including myself, have already contributed reporting to the daily newscasts you hear in the morning and afternoon. (Plus a few new ones you may not be familiar with yet.) Our show team already sits in on the morning news meetings, and we keep up with what the news desk is following via Slack. What does exist is the WPLN news desk - all the reporters, hosts and editors you already know. For those who might have missed the news breaks that morning, or just wanted the latest information, This Is Nashville would have been the place to get caught up on tornado coverage and remind listeners of available resources, while beginning to talk about next steps.īut of course, our show didn’t exist yet. ![]() As the weekend came to a close and Monday, December 13, rolled around, news was still developing. Probably the most obvious example of this would be the multi-tornado outbreak that hit in December. Here in the pre-production phase, there have already been many occasions on which one of us on the This Is Nashville team has exclaimed this, either in a meeting or text exchange. This is the fourth i n a series of blog posts introducing our team and letting you in on the process. So, we want to take you behind the scenes as we build this show from the ground up. For our upcoming daily show, This Is Nashville, transparency is important. ![]() This included a detailed look at the first asserted reason for the performance gap, the Windows 10 scheduler. Our team has done quite a bit of research and testing on this topic. In that story I detailed our coverage of the Ryzen processor and its gaming performance succinctly: You can combine memory latency with the thread-to-thread communication issue we discussed previously into one overall system level complication: the Zen memory system behaves differently than anything we have seen prior and it currently suffers in a couple of specific areas because of it. As it turns out, the memory latency differences are a significant part of the initial problem for AMD:īecause of this, I think it is fair to claim that some, if not most, of the 1080p gaming performance deficits we have seen with AMD Ryzen processors are a result of this particular memory system intricacy. Most recently I posted a look at the memory latency differences between Ryzen and Intel Core processors. Our team continues to watch the story to see how AMD and game developers work through the issue. An area that AMD has struggled in though has been 1080p gaming – performance in those instances on both Ryzen 7 and 5 processors fell behind comparable Intel parts by (sometimes) significant margins. Both the Ryzen 7 and the Ryzen 5 releases proved to be very competitive with Intel’s dominant CPUs in the market and took significant leads in areas of massive multi-threading and performance per dollar. Not only that, but it does confirm our information that there was slightly MORE to address in the Ryzen+GeForce combinations.ĭespite a couple of growing pains out of the gate, the Ryzen processor launch appears to have been a success for AMD. There you have it, a bit more detail on the software changes made to help adapt the game engine to AMD's Ryzen architecture. Overhead was reduced by packing texture descriptor uploads into larger chunks. ![]() An optimization was identified in texture management that improves the combination of AMD CPU and NVIDIA GPU.By tuning the size of those tasks – breaking some up, allowing multicore CPUs to contribute in more cases, and combining some others, to reduce overheads in the scheduler – the game can more efficiently exploit extra threads on the host CPU. Rise of the Tomb Raider splits rendering tasks to run on different threads.UPDATE (): Crystal Dynamics was able to get back to us with a couple of points on the changes that were made with this patch to affect the performance of AMD Ryzen processors. We are up to two… Rise of the Tomb Raider got a surprise performance update to improve Ryzen CPU frame rates! ![]() Please click here to view the Consumer Product Safety Commission press release regarding this voluntary recall.

Joey, Robert's robotic sidekick, also returns, and seeing these two characters reunited is one of the game's highlights. The nods to the first game start flowing in from the first moments-like the original game, the opening is made up of comic panels drawn by Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons, whose most famous work receives a few fun nods and Easter eggs throughout the game. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic Australia, but references to the country are unfortunately fleeting, despite the game's aesthetic invocation of the British colonization of the country-the gaplanders are largely people of colour, and Union City is predominantly white.Īt first, it's great to be back in the world of Steel Sky. However, he's soon forced to return to Union City after a young friend, Milo, is kidnapped by a huge robot and taken somewhere in the sprawling metropolis. Robert has returned to the "gaplands" surrounding the city, where he lives a happy, earnest life within a small society. Beyond A Steel Sky, the long-awaited sequel to the 1994 original, is an attempt to bridge the gap between those two styles-but unfortunately, it ends up feeling like some of the messier 3D adventure games from 20 years ago rather than another classic like its predecessor.īeyond A Steel Sky brings back Robert Foster, the protagonist of the first game, and picks up 10 years after his escape from Union City and LINC, the half-mechanical, half-organic being that runs it. ![]() ![]() After the genre struggled to adapt into 3D and was briefly declared dead by pundits, the genre's resurgence occurred on two main fronts-the simplified, story-driven 3D games of Telltale, which focused on choice and consequence over puzzles, and retro-styled 2D games released like Unavowed, Kathy Rain, and Broken Age, which included a lot of the esoteric puzzle-solving the genre used to be known for. In the 26 years since Revolution Software released Beneath A Steel Sky, the adventure game has come full circle. ![]() Solution 5: Click Cloud Icon to Resume Downloadįind the “Movie” or “TV series you want to download.Ĭlick the cloud icon.

What will be most interesting to see going forward is whether Kixeye will continue to push its "brogrammer" message despite this debacle.Īre you satisfied by Kixeye's response to the situation? What do you think of Kixeye's games? Sound off in the comments. Harbin also pointed out that the studio already has a VP of human resources that has implemented a sensitivity training program. The Kixeye head then went into describing immediate measures that the company has made to prevent such an incident again. As a result, I immediately terminated the manager of the team in question and then three other employees who violated company standards as well." "While it's clear that not everything in the blog post was accurate, I did discover examples of embarrassing behavior that I find inappropriate for KIXEYE, or any other work environment. "Immediately after I learned of these allegations, I personally interviewed members of the team to figure out what this was about," Harbin recently announced on Twitter. VentureBeat reports that four members of the Kixeye staff, including a manager, have been fired after CEO Will Harbin investigated further into allegations of racist conduct made by an African American contractor that is no longer with the company. We are not robots, we need explanations.The "hardcore" social game developer behind hits like War Commander has seemingly squashed its issues with allegations of racism within the office. They could give at least some decent answers if they have a real human respond to it. They should give us the opportunity to state the case, explain and be heard before the final decision to suspend is made.Īnd lastly, The computer generated auto answer emails with random names. In a constitution, "A person is Innocent until proven guity in the court of law or beyond reasonable doubts" They should not accused me just that.

They should have explained to us first and give us some time to defend and explained ourselves. Until now I do not have an Idea why they accused as Cheater. KIXEYE group should explain to me and tell me what was the rules that i violated, where in fact when I started the game there were no rules and regulations imposed.

I am a hobbyist and don't sell my images, don't make my living from photography. It definitely sounds as though it could be a definite asset in one's image editing toolbox!Īs far as using watermarks, I just don't, because I figure that whatever I share online might be appreciated and enjoyed by viewers but most would not decide to grab it and copy it for their own uses or claim it as their own. I've heard of Gigapixel AI and a while ago had intended to get it when I had a particular need but then never got around to it after all. The program does really make a difference when for whatever reason an image just doesn't seem to come out quite as sharp as had been anticipated. I've got both the older version of Sharpen AI and the current one have to admit that I'm still using the older one, as I need to run updates on the newer version which had some glitches when it was first released. It was just an experiment for me- but I thought others might learn from it. I do not think there is a way to put an image on line that is truly safe from copying.Īnd before you ask, yes the files I downloaded have been deleted and print has been destroyed. I use gigapixel to enlarge a little for my big 40圆0" prints, but never dreamed I could enlarge to this degree without significant obvious issues. I find they interfere with actually enjoying the image, but they do not protect anything. I am not sure why I tote around a 61mp camera and long glass when I can print from literally nothing. (Yes I said the picture was not mine.)Ĭan I tell the difference- a little if I really look-maybe. I showed this to 3 different people and even after asking them to look for issues in the picture- no one saw anything. I printed the image roughly 8x9" on an inexpensive glossy paper as an experiment. I now have a file of a size that 94% of the data was re created by the computer. I did nothing but open the picture and push a button. I was going to print it on an 8.5x11" piece of paper so I enlarged it to 2631x2400 pixels. Then I ran the image through topaz Gigapixel. Nothing new here, but watermarks do not protect anything. Content aware fill did most of the heavy lifting. It took me less than 90 seconds to remove it completely from the image- at least well enough that no normal viewer would notice. Unfortunately, watermarks are very easy to remove. I think we would all assume our image is safe and sound. ![]() The image was also posted quite small, 648x591 pixels. There was a very nice image posted here several days ago, but it had a large watermark across the entire image. ![]() I am fairly fluent in photoshop, but certainly not a guru. Something I think we can all learn from or at least be reminded of. |
