  1. I realize this is a long-shot, but I'm stuck. My question regards the GeoRender scenery of Chelan Muni. There was an issue with a file that when renamed and inserted in the EFFECTS folder, one could properly view the water sprinkler effects in the surrounding tree groves. It was available through a link in the GeoRender forums, now sadly gone...was wondering if anyone had any information regarding the availablity this file? Many thanks...

  2. According to the dictionary,

    First, the online free dictionary

    tav·ern (tvrn)

    n.

    1. An establishment licensed to sell alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises.

    2. An inn for travelers.

    Webster's Online Dictionary

    Main Entry: tav·ern

    Pronunciation: 'ta-v&rn

    Function: noun

    Etymology: Middle English taverne, from Anglo-French, from Latin taberna hut, shop

    1 : an establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold to be drunk on the premises

    2 : INN

    Maybe it's an Americanism

    Nope, here's the Cambridge Dictionary

    Definition

    tavern Show phonetics

    noun [C] OLD USE

    a place where alcohol is sold and drunk

    Newbury-House Dictionary

    tavern /tvrn/ n. a pub, barroom that also serves meals See: bar, USAGE NOTE.

    Now that last one says pub first, but a pub can be many things, but is short for public house. A public house, usually known as a pub, is an establishment which serves alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises, usually in a homely setting. Pubs are found in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and also, to a lesser extent, in the United States.

    A pub which offers lodging may be called an inn or hostelry in the UK. In Australia, pubs often bear the name of "hotel", even though many no longer offer lodging (hotels which offer only lodging, without a bar, are generally called "Private Hotels"). Bar service is the norm.

    It says you should think of a place that sells alcohol first. I would say, maybe it's just me, but frankly the English language usage of Tavern implies alcohol.

    Inn is secondary, not primary, which dictionary are you using that lists it as an INN first? Curious no one else seems to.

    Not trying to make a point are you? Not that you're wrong; just a little too much...much...then you're foisting lifestyles...

  3. I've been ready to purchase Tongass since it's release. But I've found something that I'd like clarification on. Entering simMarket through the simFlight page, I'm ready to checkout and am presented with a purchase price of US$50.55. When I arrive at the simMarket site through another portal and am ready to checkout, I'm presented with a purchase price of US$43.57. Am I naive about something or?... :roll:
