How Pedestrian
|Complete the level "Halo" on any difficulty without entering a vehicle.
This is going to be a long mission, but with no enemy vehicles to worry about vehicle firepower isn't necessary anyway. Get ready for a long walk though. The only issue you're come up against is a large gap in the first part of the tunnel after getting the warthog drop. The only way across is to grenade jump across. Be sure to have a frag or plasma grenade handy to do this because you aren't going anywhere otherwise.

Wouldn't this be impossible because you need the Warthog to jump the gap when you first enter the cave "that is not a natural formation".
|Comment #2 by Boasnok
Friday, October 14, 2011 @ 09:20:47 PM
It is possible in co-op if another player drives the Warthog and you get warped.
Or, they have redesigned the cave!?

@11, and how would you get said warthog into the tunnel without driving it?
|Comment #13 by Infection Ftw
Saturday, October 15, 2011 @ 01:33:54 PM
As I said co-op. Let someone else drive and lift on top. If you played a lot of Halo 2 online in the past then you might have seen/done yourself to place a bunch of people on the Hog without entering. Or Halo: CE on the PC online. I played both to death.

Well, here's the level walk through on the original game.

|Comment #16 by Spartanwarninja
Saturday, October 15, 2011 @ 07:04:21 PM
Just grenade jump it. This can be played on any diffculty.[I'm guessing not easy though, as easy mode never allows achievementss]
Once you're done to save time just snipe your allies on the mountains and then
betray the rest inside the infastructure. This is a piece of cake, just long.
I'm more worried about some of the other achievements on solo.
|Comment #17 by Spartanwarninja

I can confirm, I have done this level without Warthogs back in the day and you can grenade jump it. I did it in the first place to avoid saving the Marines, it can be preferable on higher difficulties.
|Comment #20 by DisturbedPsic0
Monday, October 17, 2011 @ 01:59:47 PM
I thought that jump was just a shortcut. If you don't make it can't you keep going along that path and still make it without a jump?

To the people suggesting coop. The reason everyone else is ignoring the suggestion is probably because they played Reach and there was a similar achievement for the first level. If anyone got in a vehicle it cancelled it for the entire group. It would be wise to assume the same rule applies to the very next game, even if it is developed by a different studio altogether.
|Comment #23 by MoneyFCMike92
Saturday, October 22, 2011 @ 02:55:56 PM
@Tarvu, that's what I thought. I remember when I tried that level on heroic, I just said screw it and tried to advance forward. Well, all the marines died, and I didn't feel like spending what felt like hours battling the enemy just for a warthog. At that time (it was years ago), I never knew about grenade jumping, and I didn't have internet back then to figure that out.
But, these achievements seem to be fun, and I know that a couple of these will be kinda challenging for me (looking at you, legendary difficulty; I've only beaten 2 levels on legendary on my own, the first and last levels), but I'm up to it.

you can gernade jump the cave but it also means it gonna take like an hour to finish the map
|Comment #25 by Tyhon
Sunday, October 30, 2011 @ 08:36:20 AM
@16 Actually ODST allowed achievements on easy....
We'll see what the main menu will tell us.
Furthermore they probably made the level so that you don't have to do that jump. I mean they put skulls and terminals in as well so they probably altered the levels to achievement ready :).
I'm also more worried about the time but since this can be done co-op and every halo can teleport the other players you might even get this done pretty fast with atleast 3 people (2 for the warthog, saves time :) )
|Comment #26 by guy298
Friday, November 04, 2011 @ 07:16:34 AM
when I was playing the original game, on halo, I some how skipped the encounter
that drops the warthog, so I went through the whole level with out it.
|Comment #27 by Johiden
Monday, November 07, 2011 @ 03:25:59 PM
Did anyone forget that they might have done something this the part so you can get across in the HD version. So you might not have to grenade jump.
|Comment #28 by Johiden
Saturday, November 12, 2011 @ 02:02:26 AM
Well after viewing the video from the play through on this level, via gamespot, there is nothing added to the area. So ummm looks like you have to grenade jump over.
|Comment #29 by Dropped

It is plausible that 343 could have hidden a ghost in the level, right?
|Comment #30 by FREELANCER
Monday, November 14, 2011 @ 07:43:27 PM
i can confirm that you can just use a grenade (plasma grenade) jump to get through
|Comment #31 by Vincentnvl
Tuesday, November 15, 2011 @ 02:49:31 AM
I just did this in Halo cea, i used a grenade jump from on top of the ramp. Also the level did take as long as i thought it would by foot.
|Comment #32 by Spug
Tuesday, November 15, 2011 @ 02:46:57 PM
I just made the grenade jump (with a frag grenade) and it wasn't exactly hard to do.
Just remembered that I did enter the Warthog when Foehammer dropped it though, but I reloaded the checkpoint. I hope the game doesn't "remember" that I entered the Warthog? If someone has done the same thing and knows that I'm fucked, please let me know - I'd rather not run through the whole level and not have the Achievement pop...
Also it would be nice if someone could confirm whether or not we can get Achievements on Easy in this game :) (Playing on Normal on this one, but there are a couple that would be way easier on Easy, obviously!)

where to throw the grenade.
|Comment #34 by Clidebytor
Tuesday, November 15, 2011 @ 05:05:31 PM
I can CONFIRM you can get this while playing on easy. You DO have to grenade jump but it's not too bad with a little practice.
|Comment #35 by Vintage91
Wednesday, November 16, 2011 @ 07:03:02 AM
@34 That video helped out a lot. I'm still not used to the old plasma grenade and how long it takes to explode, so the frag worked a lot better. It was very annoying to have to walk the entire level, but it's worth it.
|Comment #36 by Otoooo
Wednesday, November 16, 2011 @ 07:26:55 AM
Just with a little bit of timing plasma granade works equally as well as frags. The level itself was pretty easy on legendary as soon as you acquire sniper, from the second crash site.
|Comment #37 by Sicho
Wednesday, November 16, 2011 @ 10:02:34 AM
I can confirm that if you play on co-op and have one person jump the gap in the warthog, the other person can still gain the achievement.
|Comment #38 by Shadow XBL
Wednesday, November 16, 2011 @ 12:20:38 PM
Grenade jump it. No problem. Even if only one person has a plasma, they can go ahead and then just warp you up.

#15s video doesnt work for this achievement. They used a warthog, so its pointless. #34, however, has a good link for this achievement that actually shows how to get across with a grenade.

Sunday, November 20, 2011 @ 01:19:26 AM
Nothing like spending an hour of running on foot. And many priory are correct grenade jump is only way. I suggest frags as if your doing heroic setting. The stickies cause more dmg on mistimed jump.
|Comment #46 by Rafter88
Sunday, November 20, 2011 @ 02:46:20 AM
Just did this on solo guys. granade jump does the trick over that gap. Plus there is a terminal just below it :)
|Comment #47 by Spug
Sunday, November 20, 2011 @ 08:34:20 AM
#33: To answer myself, I guess entering the Warthog and reloading the checkpoint voided the attempt. The cheevy didn't pop. Oh well...
|Comment #48 by Apokalyps Pwny
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 @ 12:46:20 PM
I can confirm that entering the Warthog and reloading voids the attempt. Which sucked when I did that on Heroic. It took half an hour of trying to time a grenade jump with a plasma grenade. If you accidentally get into the Warthog, you have to restart the level from the beginning.
|Comment #49 by kms_md
Saturday, November 26, 2011 @ 01:16:07 PM
Do not forget to crouch jump across the chasm with your grenade jump. I kept coming up short and realized my controller was not recognizing my crouch click. I switched controllers and got it no problem.

Gotta admit this one made the level pretty damn long, and i didn't read comments for this "thread" but if you all r complaining about the gap in the cave IGN explained it that you just have to grenade jump.... if you cant grenade jump ur retarded...... if ur complaining about how long it is suck it up..... i did this on legendary..... the things that you have too f**king watch out 4 are the goddamn jackals..... i swear to got those things are way too overpowered

by the way I just got the game 2 days ago and its a bitch..... anybody want to achievement boost we could get a huge group together and fly throught the campaign on legendary...... well start from the beginning cuz i have to get a few skulls and terminals..... my gamertag is pelviselvis19..... im only free on thursday.... send me a friend request and we'll work something out..... need at least 3 people...... heads up though...... im only 13 so don't expect some frkn fatass loser who has extreme practice at gaming and whos gotten the monument to all of your sins achievement....... im only free at night though until Tuesday and in the afternoons maybe after that........ if you try to stalk me from where i sent this from you wont be able to cuz i will have caught you and have put a can of whu

Tuesday, December 27, 2011 @ 02:11:34 PM
Sodding easy achievement or what? lol. I just set the game to normal:
1. Saved the first group to get the hog,
2. Left the hog sat there and just walked.
3. Nade jump over the gap, using sticky nades, with revert to checkpoint to get the timing down,
4. Locate the marine groups, and kill them all.
5. Clear out the last of the enemies from the final section, I recommend doing the cliff side structure last, as they don't get re-enforcements.
6. Foehammer arrives, and bing, achievement pops.
Must have taken me just over 30 minutes to do.
|Comment #58 by BurningBlade77
Monday, January 09, 2012 @ 06:58:31 PM
Took me a while. I couldn't do it with the frag grenade (probably still possible) but did it with the sticky. If you place it and then jump as it explodes, it'll propel you across. It's just getting the distance without blowing yourself up or falling down. Didn't try crouch-jumping with a grenade, but that probably makes things easier too.
|Comment #59 by Braven10

Saturday, November 03, 2012 @ 12:48:01 PM
easy , plug in 2p controller and log 2p in as a guest or some account ,when you get to the jump BY WALKING ALL THE WAY ,2p drives the ramp and jumps over getting the checkpoint spawning you over to 2p . just make sure you don't spawn in the warthog as you will not get the achievement , never has happened to me but you never know. ALSO if you want a terminal, below the jump the yellow flashing light ...GOOD LUCK

Anyone else still not had their first appointment? How are you dealing with the wait?
This is my second pregnancy, and last time everything seemed to be going good until my first appointment when we found out there was no heartbeat at 9 weeks.
Now all I want to do is go in and make sure this little one is alright, and has a strong heartbeat!!
mine appt isn't til the 2nd week of August lol I'll be 11 weeks by then and I am so anxious to make sure everything is ok but I'm trying to be patient and it's not going so well :/ hopefully with everything else we have going on, the next month and a half will fly by ;)

I know, I am going nuts too, mine is July 11th, I will be 8 weeks. I have terrible nausea and all day sickness, I started medications to be able to go through the day at work and I am reading now all these posts about blighted ovum and I am SCARED....what if all this waiting and suffering is for an empty egg????
going through that same thing. last pregnancy, having to wait a month between hearing the heartbeat killed me, up until I started to feel movement. early pregnancy is so nerve racking, lol
Mommy to Natalie Blair Aug 2007 - m/c 7/26/11 @ 9w1d
i had my first appointment today im 6 weeks and 4 days, all they did was take blood ask a bunch of questions now they wont do a ultrasound until 9 weeks. i asked why and she said as long as you havent had any spotting and are not high risk there is no need to, to just sit back relax and let nature do its job. so im still waiting for a heartbeat/ultrasound for 3 more weeks!!!

I cant belive im having child with my soul mate, bestfriend, and lover!
My first appointment is July 11th. I was going insane! But today I called because I became concerned (I've had cramp-like pain since a week before my BFP - so for about 2 weeks now and it has been getting worse) so I called and they sent me to the ER. I got a bunch of test and an ultrasound. But its so early (less than 6 weeks - probably about 5) there isn't much they can tell me other than its NOT eptopic. I have to go back on Wednesday to do another blood test to test my hCG levels. They want it to double from today's 4,184.

Why Nearshoring is the New OffshoringThe concept of outsourcing has been around for decades, but in recent years it has become an integral aspect of many IT implementations, particularly as the pressures associated with economically streamlining business lines remains ever prominent. Historically, IT outsourcing has been centralised around software engineering and business processing, but it had yet to make an impact into the capital markets arena, in particular the vendor package space, as this was a space predominantly occupied with on-site, subject matter expert led engagements.Posted in the Blog on

Kenya Targets Capturing of Kismayo by August, Odinga Says
Kenya wants its forces to seize one of al-Shabaab's last major strongholds, the port of Kismayo, by August, as it seeks to stabilize Somalia and encourage refugees to go home in safety, said Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Kenya's military entered southern Somalia last year to drive out al-Shabaab, the al-Qaeda-linked militant group that has waged a five-year insurgency trying to topple the country's United Nations-backed transitional government. Kenya is part of an African Union force supporting government troops, while Ethiopian soldiers are battling the rebels in central Somalia.
"Kismayo is the real major source of supply by al-Shabaab," Odinga said. Without controlling the southern port "it's very difficult to completely neutralize al-Shabaab." Kenya is seeking U.S. and European support in the "final onslaught" by land, air and sea, he said.
Income from Somali ports, also including Merka and Baraawe, earns al-Shabaab as much as $50 million a year from trade in sugar, charcoal and contraband, the UN Monitoring Group on Somalia said in a July report.
Somalia has had no effective central government since rebels deposed former leader Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed's government is supposed to hold elections and finish its transitional rule by Aug. 20.
Troop Deployment
Kenya in October said it was deploying troops to secure its borders after a wave of attacks on foreigners, including the murder of a British tourist and at least four kidnappings, it blamed on al-Shabaab. The group denied responsibility and vowed to strike back at Kenya with bomb attacks.
After initially making slow progress to capture al-Shabaab targets in part because of heavy rains late last year, Kenyan soldiers in May captured Afmadow, 110 kilometers (68 miles), northwest of Kismayo, army spokesman Emmanuel Chirchir said.
The construction of "supply centers" that have housing, schools and health clinics in areas freed from al-Shabaab's control would enable Somali refugees to voluntarily return home and stem new arrivals, Odinga said. Kenya hosts about 1 million Somalis and many are "economic refugees," he said.
"We should keep Somalis in Somalia as we address the issue of permanent solutions within the country," said Odinga, calling on international donors for help with the repatriation. "I think it's easier to deal with them once they are inside Somalia."
Somalis fleeing war and famine last year poured across the border into Kenya. The number of UN-registered refugees soared to more than 600,000, with almost three-quarters of them living in the Dadaab complex in northeastern Kenya, the world's largest refugee facility.

The JW Q&A
First Person
In contemporary Germany, where some 200,000 Jews live amid 82 million Germans, there is little chance for most Germans to meet a Jew.
Unless they go to the Jewish Museum in Berlin these days.
There, as part of a current — and controversial — exhibition titled "The Whole Truth … Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Jews …" a Jew sits in a glass enclosure two hours a day answering visitors' questions.
It's commonly known as "Jew in a Box," and it's become a popular part of the exhibition, albeit a contested part.
Visitors ask all sorts of questions about Jewish life and Jewish customs.
"A lot of our visitors don't know any Jews and have questions they want to ask," museum spokeswoman Tina Luedecke told Fox News. "With this exhibition we offer an opportunity to know more about Jews and Jewish life."
Many Jews living in Germany report that they feel like curiosity pieces, called upon to answer the questions of new, non-Jewish acquaintances.
Bill Glucroft, below, an American Jew who has lived in Germany 2½ years, takes his regular turn in the box. One visitor asked him, "Can you stop being a Jew?"
"It's not like we have a central authority figure like a pope to answer to," he answered. Then he added, "But we do have to answer to our mothers."
The German words at the base of the box asks, "Are there still Jews in Germany?"

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
The idea of providing German citizens current information about its Jewish population is right, the way of doing it is wrong, so wrong. What Germans know about Jews is what they learned from the Nazi treatment of Jews. They were less than human, and like vermin, should be exterminated. Putting a Jew on display in a box promotes the Nazi view that Jews are a curiousity, to be stared at like monkeys in a cage. The observers may hear the answers, but the visual image of a "Jew in a Box" is detrimental to any efforts to show that Jews are proud, valuable members of German society. Although Germans may not be aware of the Jewish population in their midst, they receive a lot of information about how corrupt, viscous and evil they are from anti-Semitic world wide. Placing Jews on display is further confirmation that Jews are not equal members of society.
What was the Jewish community of Germany thinking?

It takes a beating all year-round, but the summer sun can really take a toll. In today's Angie's List report, how seal coating can help.
"Moisture will soak through the surface," said Tyler Stephens, Driveway Contractor. "It will begin to deteriorate. Also, whenever it freezes and thaws that also makes it expand and contract and that's where you get the stretch and cracks that occur."
"This time of year, demand for driveway sealing and repair goes up and we do hear complaints about it at Angie's List," said Angie Hicks, Angie's List. "The important thing to remember is you want to develop a relationship with the driveway company because you'll likely be using them year after year."
"With the oxidation process the summer starts to break down the sealer with the sun beating on it," said Stephens. "Just imagine if it's a 90-degree July day, that asphalt and also the concrete surfaces gets up to 100-degrees with the sun just beating on it all day so it starts the deterioration process also."
"Driveway repair is no different than any other service," said Hicks. "Be cautious of someone is coming door-to-door and offering you a great deal because they have leftover materials from someone else. Do your research and pick your company. A deal today should be a deal tomorrow."
Angie's List said how often you seal your driveway depends on where you live. Those in milder climates can often go as little as every four years.

The Chamber has some site issues - what do you do?
Which song will inspire you to tell a story?
Hey everyone, thanks for your patience this last week, I know it hasn't been easy. We are functioning again, and hopefully will stay that way. This is a trial run to see if we have nailed all the issues, and so if it goes down again... will have to look deeper.
The Chamber is being split in half, as we simply cannot handle the traffic we are getting now without raising a significant amount of money each month. The Chamber and The Chamber Vault. Any stories predating 2012 will be stored in the Vault and can be accessed at The Chamber Vault, reviews can be left as usual and logons are the same. These stories will not be able to be edited or updated, and if you wish to resurrect one, then you will need to contact the admins.
We are still in the process of moving some stories, which will take a little time, but it is better than being offline for weeks more. I know this is not a perfect solution, and it is going to annoy many people, but it is our only real option if we want to stay online.
We hope that this time the fix holds, as last week was a series of things working and then going belly up again. It would be very helpful if people could report on Facebook if they are having any issues or things are working well.
Happy reading!

well i think team sonic should really focus on not just the blue blur aka sonic but other main characters like miles 'tails' plowler, knukcles, silver, shadow etc. what always bugged me alot when i was a kid was i never truley understood what are these characters motivation, thoughts and dreams so i read sonic the hedgehog comic to understand these people in the game. but what i realized that comic has an entirely differnt story line and characters so i got unstanily hooked on the comic more than the actual game. so the point is i'd be way past cool if they tired to make an entire game following the really awesome sonic the hedgehog. it's just an unqie blend of story telling and action. so this is my sonic fan boy blog.

Whether Chelsea were right nor not to sack Jose Mourinho is a moot point, because The Special One, for the second time in his career has been given the boot by the club. With Chelsea sitting 16th in the Premier League and having lost more games this season than the previous two combined, the axe fell on the head of the manager.
So with Chelsea on the hunt for new manager a bigger question may well be where will Jose Mourinho head to next? If he is still out of work next summer then there could be some major reshuffling of the world's best bosses around the top European clubs.
With Louis van Gaal failing to have made a positive impact so far at Old Trafford with Manchester United, the Red Devils are 11/10 favourites with online betting site Betfair to be Mourinho's next club. That is just the type of challenge that he would love and it would give him the chance to stay in England and renew his rivalries with the likes of Arsene Wenger and perhaps prove a point that the Blues were hasty in their decision to fire him.
Pep Guardiola is out of contract with Bayern Munich in the summer, so would there be a trade of jobs? Would Guardiola go to Stamford Bridge while Mourinho moves to the Allianz Arena. That is a fascinating prospect because frankly, it is a swap of two of the best managers in the game at the moment and a huge contrast in style between the way they approach the game as well. Bayern Munich are 4/1 to be Mourinho's next club.
That is the same price as PSG whose ambitions probably fit well with Mourinho's own and he would have spending power there. But the Parisians are growing nicely with Didier Deschamps and it seems unlikely that the apple cart will be upset there. Rafa Benitez is struggling with Real Madrid at the moment, would they take Mourinho back as Chelsea did? Madrid are 12/1 at Betfair to be Mourinho's next club.
He is 16/1 to go back to Inter and 20/1 to replace Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City. But why settle at a league club, why not a move to the international scene for Mourinho? There will probably be some international managerial casualties next season after Euro 2016 and Portugal is a 12/1 punt to be Mourinho's next managerial position. England are 25/1 to be his next position.
Register an account with online betting site you can take advantage of a risk free £50 bet as a welcome bonus. Just register, deposit and then make your first bet. If that first wager at Betfair loses then you will get your cashback (up to the £50 limit) as a free bet!

Treating advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET) using Novartis' Afinitor® more than doubles progression-free survival (PFS) in comparison with placebo, according to new Phase III trial data. Novartis has previously confirmed it plans worldwide Afinitor regulatory filings for this indication later this year.
The Radiant-3 study involving 410 pancreatic NET patients showed that treatment using Afinitor in addition to best supportive care (BSC) boosted median progression-free survival from 4.6 months to 11 months when compared with treatment using placebo plus BSC. The data also showed that Afinitor reduced the risk of cancer progression by 65%.
Novartis says that additional data from the pivotal study are due for presentation at the "35th European Society for Medical Oncology Congress" in Italy later this year.
Afinitor is already available in the EU and U.S. as a treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma in paitents who have previously received other approved therapeutics. Afinitor's active ingredient everolimus is separately available in the EU as Certican® and in the U.S. as Zortress® for the prevention of organ rejection in heart and/or kidney transplant patients.

What a lot of Bull. Do you know what an OS is? Of course there's an OS - it's just not Windows ;-) But your premise is wrong - it doesn't take an "OS" to receive viruses, it takes malignant code. And you do admit that games running on the WII is computer code? As well as the console itself?Originally Posted by D S
So the answer is, of course, yes - however the likelihood is fairly small since the updates you can put on the system is fairly controlled by Nintendo. However, imagine that a game company's internal systems gets compromised and they ship out viruses on the official CDs ... now THAT could happen - and has happen in the PC world. But again the likelihood compared to a Windows user who changes everything he likes is smaller.
Flash has little to do with viruses; however it's more complicated to make a flash player on a "weird" OS like that on the WII - and I guess that's why you don't find a flash-player there yet.
lol - sorry, I couldn't help myself. Do you really think that Viruses are Windows only? WII executes computer code. A computer virus is malignant computer code. Of course it can contract computer viruses. Anything connected to a computer network or allows you to install external software can. The question is how likely it is.Originally Posted by D S

I won't even ask if you've been naughty or nice. Santa may require niceness for a present (the big guy and I have already had this discussion again this year!)
but not me!
So……………..don't ya just love a contest?! Here's how it works. Tell me your worst Christmas present. The person who got the worst Christmas present wins the BEST Christmas present! A DaVinci Gourmet Sugar Free Gift Pack!
How awesome is that?!
Angel Austin won the last DaVinci gift pack. Who wants to be next?
Now I am a HUGE DaVinci sugar free syrup fan! I add it to protein drinks, sugar free pudding and Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is great for us but the flavors are much more limited with it than most light yogurts. It's also very popular in coffee and tea. I don't know how many times I have recommended it to newbies struggling with their new post-op diet.
So let's hear all the horror stories of all the dumb ass presents you have gotten over the years!
Maybe it's a Chia Pet?
Maybe it's the Weener Kleener Soap
A creepy people present perhaps?
The dreaded fruitcake?

We've talked a lot about different ways of using Content-Aware technology in Photoshop, but the original Content-Aware technology is called Content-Aware Scale. And what it allows you to do is change the proportions of your image while preserving the Content. This could be used for cropping without losing Image Content on the edges or it could be used to change the Layout of your photo. Maybe you want to take a regular photo and turn it into a Web Banner, but you want to preserve the content in it. And I think there aren't a lot of people who use Content-Aware Scale, mainly, because they don't know about it.
But the other problem with Content-Aware Scale is you need to know a little bit about how it works and some steps to assure success. So in this video I want to show you just how it works. Here I have an image and what I want to do with it is I want to change the proportions and the first thing we want to do is give ourselves a larger Canvas Size. Now I could just change this to the proportions that I want, but for the sake of demonstration I am going to make the whole canvas a lot larger. So now I've plenty of space to work with and what I want to do is select the Image itself.
Now I can draw a rectangle around it, but in this case because there's such a clearly defined white area, I am just going to select that and get the inverse of it. And now we're going to come into Content-Aware Scale and we can see that we can dramatically change the proportions of the image, and in this case we're adding to the sides of the image. We could also pull the top up and add sky to this, or we could pull the bottom down and that pavement and it's just doing that automatically.
Now you might notice as we start to stretch it, the car starts to look a little bit funny. It's a lot easier to synthesize repeating patterns like the sky and the ground and the grass, than it is something very complex like the car. So what you want to do if you've subject matter like that that needs to be preserved? Before for you come in here make a selection and save it, and then once you're in here, you can choose to protect that, and I've named my selection Car, so that now if I rescale this, everything moves, except for the car If I make this taller, I'm going to add Pixels to the bottom and the top, the sky and the ground, but the car stays frozen.
So that gives you a sense of just how powerful this can be, you can really change your image, but protect your content. If you've people in the image, you can click on this little button right here and that's going to protect skin tones. I recommend saving a selection, it gives you a lot more fidelity and a lot more control. And one other surprise area that works really well, let's say I've got a blogpost where I'm writing about software or maybe I'm putting something that has a screen capture on the book, but I don't have room to use the orientation of the screen capture.
So, you see a screen capture of exactly what we have here, and I want to make it narrower, or maybe I want to make it a little taller. I want to change the proportions of it. I hit Cmd+A to select the whole thing, I come into Edit, go down to Content-Aware Scale, and I can just pull that image in, or I can pull the image up. And the way that it works is it's just looking for areas that are the same, and so when I'm making it smaller, it's able to just get rid of them. But if I were to stretch it and make it larger, it's going to look at the neighboring pixels and just add them there.
So whether you're altering your photograph or you just want to change the size of some content, Content-Aware Scale can be very powerful for changing your composition.
The course begins with an exploration of Photoshop features that make changes to an entire image: the Crop tool, the Auto button that's present in many adjustment dialog boxes, and the Curves panel options. Next, Bryan explores sharpness and blur. Each has its place in a photograph, and Bryan details how the sharpening and blur features work and how to get the most out of them.
The course also looks at adjusting specific areas of an image with the Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools, and at the growing array of content-aware features in Photoshop, showing how they work and what to do when they don't work. The course concludes with a tour of the powerful Liquify filter, features for correcting lens distortion, and the world of presets that allow you to apply settings with a single click.
- Reinventing the Crop tool
- Rediscovering the Auto button
- Getting the most out of curves
- Understanding Smart Sharpen
- Building blur and softness
- Working with a graphics tablet
- Using Content-Aware Fill, Scale, and Move effectively
- Correcting distortion automatically based on lens profiles
- Using presets

Help Me Set Up a Newish Cellphone
My phone has had a series of mishaps over the last few weeks, and now I must get a new (to me) one. I have Sprint. If I were to get a used/refurbished Sprint iPhone from Gazelle or similar, how would I set it up to work with my Sprint number? Is this even possible? I do not want to have to go to a Sprint store, and I would prefer doing everything online. I need very basic step-by-step instructions. [more inside]
New monthly Plan for old iPhone 3GS
I am on an AT&T family plan. I have had an iPhone 3GS since about 2011, and just upgraded to an iPhone 5c. I still have the 3GS. What is the best way for me to use this phone with a monthly plan completely separate from the family plan, with any carrier? Our daughter is on the Virgin 35/month plan. That seems pretty good. Am I hosed because this phone was locked into AT&T, or whatzers?
How bitterly should I cling to my unlimited data plan?
How strongly should I feel about hanging on to my grandfathered AT&T unlimited data plan? [more inside]

Help me beat AT&T
I currently have the iPhone 4 with the $20/month unlimited texting and the old-school "unlimited" data plan. I no longer want the unlimited texting, yet I don't want to lose the old "grandfathered" data plan? Can this be done? [more inside]

Best carrier for traveler with unlocked iPhone in Vietnam?
I am going on a trip to Vietnam for three weeks this month and am wondering: what my best bet is in terms of carrier and coverage for a prepaid SIM for my unlocked iPhone 3G? [more inside]
1G or 3G?
iPhone...first generation used or 3G new, or wait for a while? A friend might sell me an iPhone 1G for $50. Should I buy that or upgrade? I am eligible to renew my AT&T contract. It doesn't give me the iPhone option, so I would have to go to a store, but that is not an issue here. As I understand, the 1G iPhone's data plan is ten dollars cheaper than the 3G data plan. Over a year that would be $120 in savings, plus the phone being $50 cheaper than the cheapest 3G, adds up to $170 savings over a year. I am a bit cash strapped, but is it worth buying an older used phone for saving that much?
Prepaid iPhone data plan in Mumbai?
Hi, I will be living in Mumbai for 11 weeks next summer. I have an unlocked iPhone 3G. What is my best bet in terms of carrier and plan for the cheapest and most reliable data access? I plan to do local calls over the cell phone voice network and international calls via Skype on the iPhone. Thanks in advance!

Eastern North Pacific Tropical Weather Discussion
000 AXPZ20 KNHC 300243 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Fri Sep 30 2016 Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0215 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Tropical Storm Ulika is just west of the discussion area near 17.5N 140.7W 1006 mb, or about 810 nm east of Hilo Hawaii, at 0300 UTC moving NW or 305 DEG at 9 kt. The maximum sustained wind speed is 35 kt with gusts to 45 kt. Ulika remains under significant vertical westerly shear attributed to an upper trough that is just to its west. Abundant dry air aloft west of the trough is being entrained into the cyclone as observed in water vapor imagery. Latest satellite imagery shows diminishing scattered moderate convection well removed from the cyclone between 90 nm to 150 nm to its northeast. Minimal tropical storm winds are within 30 nm in the northeast quadrant, and 20 nm in the southeast quadrant of the cyclone. Ulika is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression on Friday as it continues to pull away from the area. Refer to the latest CPHC forecast/advisory under AWIPS/WMO headers WTPA22 PHFO/TCMCP2, or visit the CPHC website at http:www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/ for additional details. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough axis extends from northwest Colombia to 10N85W to 11N96W to 13N106W. It resumes at 13N112W to 09N122W to weak low pressure at 13N134W 1011 mb. Scattered moderate convection is within 60 nm north of the axis between 95W and 97W, and within 120 nm south of the axis between 115W and 117W. ...DISCUSSION... OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Post-tropical remnant low of Roslyn is centered near 24.1N 115.6W 1014 mb moving N NW at 6 kt. Visible satellite imagery depicts the low as a cloud swirl consisting of mainly low clouds about 120 nm in diameter. Associated winds continue to diminish with only 20 to 25 kt with seas of 6 to 8 ft remaining within 30 nm of the low in the northeast quadrant of the low. The low is forecast to gradually dissipate through Friday afternoon. Otherwise, a sub-tropical northwest to southeast oriented ridge axis extends into the area from 32N136W to near 24N131W. High pressure covers the area north of 22N west of 123W. Light to gentle northerly winds are present west of the Baja California Peninsula with seas of 4 to 5 ft in mixed northwest and southwest swell. The ridge will strengthen and build southeastward through the next 48 hours. The associated gradient is expected to result in a moderate to fresh northwest flow. Seas will build to 6 to 8 ft over the far northern waters west of Baja California Norte on Saturday evening, and continue into Sunday. Light and variable winds are expected through the weekend across the northern Gulf of California, and light to gentle nw-n flow is expected elsewhere. Winds will increase through mid week as the ridge builds into the region. A high amplitude surface trough analyzed along 110W from 10N to 20N is forecast to drift westward over the next couple of days. Deep convection continues to be very active in an inverted-v shape pattern. The convection is of the scattered strong type intensity from 17N to 20N between the trough and 112W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is noted from 17N to 20N east of the trough to 109W. Fresh to strong drainage flow will again occur through the Gulf of Tehuantepec in the overnight hours will again pulse up and down through the weekend, peaking to the range of 25 to 30 kt with seas of 8 TO 10 ft late at night and through daybreak. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Light to gentle southerly winds are expected n of the monsoon trough, while gentle to locally moderate s to SW flow is expected s of the monsoon trough through the upcoming weekend. Combined seas of 4 to 7 ft, primarily in long-period SW swell is expected across the offshore waters through the upcoming weekend. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... The pressure gradient will tighten around the subtropical ridge over the next couple of days, with moderate to fresh anticyclonic winds expected between the monsoon trough/ITCZ and the ridge through Sunday, with combined seas around the range of 5 to 7 ft. $$ AGUIRRE

Warriors' Curry Joins Under Armour
One of the biggest free agents in the basketball shoe game has a new team.
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, who played in Nike shoes for the first four years of his NBA career, has signed with Under Armour. The story was first reported by Yahoo last week, but the shoe and apparel brand didn't confirm the move until Tuesday.
"Our key attributes for players we want to have on our team are young, underdog and next -- and Steph checked all those boxes," Matt Mirchin, Under Armour's senior vice president of global marketing, told ESPN.com. "We couldn't talk to him until August given his contract, but when we did, both sides realized it was a great opportunity and the deal came together quickly."

Rowling plans film trilogy
When J.K. Rowling revealed plans for a "Harry Potter" spinoff film adapted from her "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," fans rejoiced.
They loved the idea of returning to the wizarding world that the author rendered in such detail in her worldwide best-sellers about the Boy Who Lived.
Turns out, there will be more than just one movie. Warner Bros. has announced its intention to release a planned trilogy of films based on "Fantastic Beasts," with all three screenplays written by Rowling herself.
Originally published in 2001, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" arrived as a 42-page textbook of sorts, chronicling the adventures of its fictional author and Hufflepuff hero Newt Scamander -- Newt is a magizoologist (one who studies magical creatures, of course).
In a release issued in 2013 when the first film project was originally announced, Rowling specified that the new movies are neither prequels nor sequels to the "Harry Potter" series, but rather "an extension of the wizarding world."
Newt's adventures, she said, begin in New York 70 years before the events in the first "Harry Potter" novel.
Of her decision to script the film herself, she said, "The idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of 'Fantastic Beasts,' realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt.
"As hard-core Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favorite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood."
No casting has been announced for the film series, nor has a start date for the first production been revealed.

Because $500 is a higher number then $400 so Xbox One is obviously better.

Your suggesting they sell 1st party games to other systems... No, I think they want to keep their software with their hardware.. Otherwise they'd turn into SEGA.
Yes it does... you pay a developer to develop a game exclusively for your platform. Otherwise, they could be out in the wild making games for anyone. Just like Insomniac is now doing.

i agree with the other guy who was saying who cares? no one really cares except butt hurt fanboys so they don't make allot of 1st party games AND??? AND??? they get exclusives buy paying the devs to make it for them should you be mad at the devs for accepting it?. Sony does the same thing Nintendo does the same thing Microsoft does it more fine i don't really care i don't have some kind of girl friend relationship with Microsoft like you guys do. They offer a good console with good games that you cant play on Sony console that's it that's all i care about no one is perfect and i like how people are saying they will not support the xbox one in the future with no exclusives yet the console is not out yet and haven't even started getting into its life span. I assume you people will just not buy one that's all you have to do not buy it enjoy your ps4/pc/wii u. but by all means keep demonizing microsoft/xbox one and finding any hate you can about it you have free speech and opinions your allowed to do so,
Every one has there own opinions unless theirs is stupid.

To be fair this is Microsoft's best bet and one that I agree with. If you can afford it do it.
It's not easy building an amazing first part studio like Sony or Nintendo has. Heck Journey beat out Halo 4 for GOTY awards last year. This stuff takes time.

Microsoft Studios head honcho Phil Spencer recently mentioned to OXM that a console manufacturer doesn't need its own studios to create excellent games.
Buying != Creating
They need to quit locking down things that could've and should've been multi-platform.
I refuse to buy XB1 until it's sold without Kinect. No, I'm not a Sony fanboy. See? http://viper.shadowflareindustries.com/images/myroom/DSCN0220.JPG

They need to lock down and buy more exclusives, this is business.
From a gamer stand point, Microsoft and Sony should make all their games available on all formats so I can play them at high res on my PC.

Why? It's a smart strategy from a business perspective. Why let the competition get a game if you have the money to block them?
You can't complain about how one company gets exclusives over another. It's like gamers want it to be communist where everyone gets the same games.
If only you people were this passionate about stuff that really matters.

As seen this gen, buying exclusives only works for so long. The Xbox has had such a bad drought of exclusive titles because the only way they really could was to buy them and not create them. It's weird looking at the beginning of the gen and seeing quality exclusives that pumped you up... only to realise most of them are now on all platforms. Fable really hasn't made noise in years, Halo is questionable after the dud that was 4 (acceptance wise not sale wise), Forza has never been a go to title, and Gears is in the same boat as Halo... except that it might not even be exclusive with a next title.
MS should spend more time building in house studioes to put out quality titles and less money buying up 3rd party exclusives that might not remain exclusive. It would be amazing to actually have two consoles putting out quality first party exclusives that haven't been stale rehashes for 15 years. Yes Nintendo, I'm still pissed at you for resting on your damn laurels.... what the hell happened to you...
We are not merely the sum of our parts

I use these on the go and also to scribble, but because the quality is so nice I also put them in my leather PDA /Jotlet for later review, for these I would like to see another leather folio , which you can use separately with you're iPads or phones, also it don't have to have the subject box, I think it would be better without it, but that' s my opinion,.Short but not least , great quality notepads..

Tishreen (October) War Panorama
Tishreen (October) War Panorama information
Created with the help of the North Koreans, Tishreen (October) War Panorama a memorial to the 1973 war with Israel is quite extraordinary. The tour takes in paintings of various historical battles, a film, the moving panoramic painting, a 3D mural and diorama depicting the Israeli devastation of the town, and a room filled with portraits of former president Hafez al-Assad.
You'll gain a great insight into the battle over the Golan Heights and the fighting in and around the town of Quneitra, which isn't otherwise possible; it's definitely worth seeing if you're planning a visit to Quneitra.
The panorama is located about 2km northeast of the centre, on the road to the Harasta bus terminal; take a Harasta microbus and ask to be let out when you spot the plaza on the opposite side of the highway filled with captured Israeli jeeps, tanks and fighter planes.

Filed under: NYC Gifted and Talented Program, OLSAT Test | Tags: nyc universal pre-k, OLSAT test
Well, it looks like one of the unforeseen consequences of the NYC universal pre-K program is that it causes more talented tots to qualify for a seat in the ultra competitive NYC gifted and talented program. According to a study in Educational Researcher 4-year-olds who attend a preschool are 4.8 times more likely to get a qualified score for the competitive NYC G&T program. The findings shouldn't be very surprising since early education initiatives would have a direct impact on not only overall performance but also how the child takes direction from a teacher. Since the OLSAT test requires listening from the child, any child who is in pre-K would have an advantage by more likely having to develop listening skills since they are in a classroom setting. Hopefully by all children attending universal pre-K in lower income areas these children will now be able to perform better on the G&T test. Plus parents in these areas will be more likely to know about the NYC gifted and talented program since the pre-K teachers will hopefully tell parents about the program.

Due to Super Snow Storm Jonas the NYC Gifted and Talented Testing has been cancelled this weekend. I suppose it's a good thing for parents who haven't done any preparation and allows them more time to start practicing with their little ones with questions from TestingMom.com. Tons of practice questions for both the OLSAT and NNAT-2 tests.
Here's what the DOE said on their web site regarding the test being canceled this weekend:
G&T News
The Office of Student Enrollment welcomes you to Gifted & Talented Admissions!
Testing is cancelled for January 23 and 24, 2016 due to the weather. If you were scheduled to test on January 23 or 24, you will be contacted this coming week about rescheduling your test. Please email questions about your student's test to the email address listed on your appointment letter. You can email firstname.lastname@example.com with general questions about G&T testing.
Filed under: nnat test, OLSAT Test | Tags: gifted and talented test, nyc gifted talented admissions, ps 144 queens
Well, a district wide gifted and talented school in Queens screws up big time! It all started with parents at the PS 144 in Forest Hills who received a letter from the school that their child will be taking the test that week for the gifted and talented program. The letter informed the parents their child will take the OLSAT tests and BSRA (Bracken School Readiness Assessment). One problem, the DOE phased our the BSRA test 4 years ago and replaced it with the much more difficult NNAT-2 test. Below is a photo of the actual letter parents received from the school that really screwed up on this one.
To add insult to injury, according to parents, who contacted the school about the test, the parent coordinator who answered the phone abruptly said in a curt manner "Whatever is on the letter are the tests that are going to be given!". I suppose the school was bombarded with phone calls from frantic parents who were confused and even more confused after the school verified their worst nightmares coming true! So much for the person who answered the phone to do a 5 second Google search to find out which test is currently being given to students. Maybe they were too busy watching reruns of Dance Moms online?
After months (and some times years!) of test prep will their talented tot now be required to take another test that they haven't prepared for? Imagine these poor moms and dads who are stressed out to the max and then finding this out the same week the test was to be administered. It's like a high school student preparing for the SAT test for months and then 48 hours prior to test day being told "Sorry, it's actually the ACT test."
After a few days of confusion in Forest Hills the principal, Reva Gluck-Schneider, finally broke down and reluctantly admitted to the error of their ways. This, of course, is after scores of parents kept calling and asking questions. Wow…a DOE employee admitting they were wrong? Is that in the union contract? You can read the entire drama in this DNA Info article.

Well, the countdown has started for NYC parents who are anxiously awaiting testing day for the gifted and talented entrance exam starting in a few short weeks. The talented tots start making their annual pilgrimage starting Jan. 9, 2016 to line up one-by-one to take the OLSAT test and NNAT2 test at designated schools across all five boroughs. Last year alone over 30,000 pre-K to 2nd grade students took the test and almost half were the 4-year-olds vying for a coveted seated in one the top kindergarten gifted and talented programs sparingly sprinkled throughout the city. During the holiday-winter- Christmas break from school parents will begin the final push to make sure their child gets enough sleep and drinks plenty of jumpy juice on test day to make it into the 99th percentile. Although, even at the highest percentile ranking of 99 does not guarantee a seat in the program (why that would make it too darn easy!). At 99th percentile the child is then placed in a pool with over 1,500 kids who are attempting to get a citywide seat that has approximately 250-300 available each year. The children are radmonly selected from the pool of 99s so hope your child gets in top 100. Welcome to the city of hard knocks if your kid doesn't make the cut!

It's that time of year again for children to make the annual pilgrimage to the take the OLSAT and NNAT2 tests for vie for a coveted spot in the NYC gifted and talented program for next school year. Here are a couple of tips for NYC parents to remember after their talented tot takes the test in January.
Top tips for NYC gifted and talented schools:
- Make sure you visit every G&T school your child is eligible to attend after scores are released in April 2016. Some schools have very good reputations but keep in mind there are quite a few hidden gems in the city. Make sure you discover for yourself if a school would be a good fit for your child or not after visiting the school in person. Don't rely on second hand information to base your final decision on what's the best fit for YOUR child.
- There is a misconception that citywide G&T programs like NEST and Anderson are better than their district wide counterparts. This isn't necessarily true since all G&T programs and curriculum vary dramatically so make sure you do your homework to find out the ins-and-outs of the schools your child is eligible for either district wide or citywide. The major plus about citywide programs is those schools go through 8th grade or all the way through 12th grade, depending on the school. That means no middle school or high school admissions process (believe me, that's a big plus!). Once your child is in a program they are there to stay unless you decide to remove your child for whatever reason like moving or you're tired of trying to keep up with the mountains of homework your child brings home every day.

It seems like the NYC G&T department made some serious errors in the 115,000 G&T handbooks given out that were translated into nine languages according to the article in AM New York. You're lucky if you received the handbook in English since there were no errors in the questions and answers for the guides that were handed out. It seems the DOE didn't bother to have someone take a few minutes of their time to proofread the copies that were in the non-English written materials. It seems that the DOE officials were scrambling to fix the error of their ways by scrambling around to try to correct the screw-up. This caused them to extend the deadline to register for the OLSAT test and NNAT-2 test (free practice questions on Testing Mom) that are the entrance exams required for a 4-year-old to get a seat in a top-notch kindergarten for free. It seems these types of errors are completely preventable but I suppose no one at the DOE was thoughtful enough to think of the ramifications of not having these important materials proofread by a professional before printing. I will give the DOE credit for the cover of the NYC G&T handbook this year. I think the artwork is very well done. Too bad they didn't put the same time and energy in making sure the practice questions they provided were up to par.
