One of my favorites songs of muse. Lyrics: I've exposed your lies, baby The underneath's no big surprise And now it's time For changing And cleansing everything To forget your love My plug in baby Crucifies my enemies When I'm tired of giving Woah, my plug in baby In unbroken virgin realities Is tired of living Oooh... Don't confuse Baby you're gonna lose Your own game Change me Replace the envying To forget your love My plug in baby Crucifies my enemies When I'm tired of giving Woah, my plug in baby In unbroken virgin realities Is tired of living Oooh... And I've seen your loving And mine is gone And I've been in trouble Woaaah...

A video by Plug-in Partners promoting the many benefits of Plugin Hybrids Electric Vehicles. If the current US vehicle fleet were replaced overnight with PHEVs, oil consumption would decrease by 70 to 90 percent, eliminating the need for oil imports and leaving the US self-sufficient in oil for many years to come. Even if the electrical power for those vehicles were drawn from coal-fired power plants, CO2 emissions would drop by more than half. If the power were produced by renewable energy sources, and the fuel in the tank were biodiesel or ethanol, the proposition gets exponentially better. And you can get 100+ MPG!
To help support Climate Denial Crock of the Week Go to climatecrocks.com This video inaugurates a new series, that will augment, but not replace, "Climate Denial Crock of the Week". Many people seem to think dealing with climate change will bring poverty and limit human development. The truth may be exactly the opposite. Moving to a world of where we aren't fighting each other over the last few drops of oil, where energy is free, will mean a better life, with greater opportunities even for an expanding population. If we make the right decisions, we could be on the verge of the most prosperous period in human history. Climate Denial Crocks will be back soon to tweak trolls and ding deniers. www.ferc.gov www.environmentamerica.org www.udel.edu www.udel.edu newenergynews.blogspot.com climateprogress.org
From www.inatux.com Lately, people have been speaking highly of Adobe Photoshop over this video showing what Bryan O'Neil Hughes calls "Content-Aware Fill" which is a technique for synthesizing texture. www.youtube.com Here's a little old favorite GIMP plugin called Resynthesizer. Resynthesizer works just as well as Photoshop's "Content-Aware Fill", only Resynthesizer appears to have more options. In the video below -- working with the same images (captured from YouTube) -- InaTux demonstrates Resynthesizer in GIMP 2.7's "Single Window" mode. THIS VIDEO FALLS UNDER FAIR USE!
