HOPE YOU LIKE MY "SIG"

I am pretty creative in writing poetry, and I also use several different mediums to draw landscapes, abstracts, and the like. I saw my youngest daughter, making a "render", a "sig", and thought, I would like to give this try (placing an image on a background I made) as well!

After several tries over the months, I have finally gotten down the gist (the understanding) of how to do this. The word, "sig" means signature. And using Adobe Photoshop is how I did the background as well as placing the images exactly where I wanted them.

I took the image from one of the anime shows I watch, called "Claymore" and also took a "goth-type" image as well and placed them together on the background I made. Hope you like!

There are several sources that you can use to learn how to do this as well or just trying different things yourself. I asked my daughter a few questions and took it from there and I used one source [which is listed below].

I will be trying my hand at moving animated characters as well, and am working on this little by little, daily [in between everything else I am doing]!

DID YOU HERE ABOUT...

You never think it will happen so far up the East Coast, but it did...a tornado! The tornado was an F0-F1 [on the Fujita Scale] (depending on the news networks), hit outside of Islip Terrace, NY on Long Island dated, July 18th, 2007 due to severe thunderstorms in the area. Bet that surprised everybody!

Power was out for over 50,000 customers in the Nassau and Suffolk areas. I was checking this out on the CBS-early morning news, while I was up earlier than usual.

I decided to check if this was "news worthy" to many in the area and was pleasantly surprised that this did make some of the major papers last week along with several online news networks including USA Today, and The NY Times. From what I heard and read, there was damage and no injuries, which is always a good thing!

Like the forecasters from The Weather Channel have said, "tornado's can show up anywhere"!

FALSE ADVERTISING...HAVE YOU BEEN "DUPED"

Just letting you know about an e-mailed I received today regarding "HDTVs". I am passing this on, so that anywho purchased an HDTV models from 2005 and 2006, may need to file a false advertising claim.

Here is the information:

"Beginning in 2005
Display manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony, JVC, Toshiba and Mitsubishi began selling -- and touting -- new "1080p" High-Definition TVs. According to their manufacturers, these new LCD, DLP and plasma sets -- with a horizontal resolution of 1920 dots across by 1080 vertical lines (i.e. 1920x1080 pixels) -- produced the smoothest, clearest picture possible."

THE PROBLEM:

"The HDTV manufacturers never bothered to explain -- is that, if you try to plug a 1080p output to the 1080i input of a 1080p display, you will get no image. These "1080p" HDTVs are unable to accept the 1080p signals from any device, including Sony's PS3, Blu-Ray players and HD-DVDs.

Common 1080p Television Manufacturers:

*Samsung*

*Sony*

*JVC*

*Mitsubishi*

*Toshiba*

March 9, 2007

"All 1080p displays can only display images progressively (each resolution line has to be displayed at the same time) and because of this they all have to deinterlace interlaced transmissions before displaying. The deinterlacing can be done correctly (by weaving the 1080 lines together) or incorrectly by taking 540 of the lines and just doubling them. The technology for the latter method (called bobing) is cheaper but you are also throwing away half of the resolution. The use of bobing for interlacing on those 1080p displays which only have 1080i inputs may amount to false advertising."

HDTVs Not What They Seem

"High Definition Televisions (HDTVs) have become a popular new purchase; however, some people do not realize that some of the 1080p HDTVs have a defect because they are not compatible with all 1080p devices.

If you purchased a "1080p" HDTV in 2005 or 2006, and would like to speak to an attorney about your experience please take a moment to fill out this form to send your complaint."
