Are you ordering a new iPad mini, iPad 4, iMac, 13-inch Macbook Pro, or Mac mini?
So Apple has announced the iPad mini, along with a next-generation iPad 4, a new Mac mini, and a new iMac. Are you getting any of them? All of them?
Tell us which ones you're going get in the poll up top, and tell us why (or why not) in the comments below. (I have to review them, so my excuses are ready...!)
There are 26 comments. Add yours.
And all of them
iPad mini looks good for the kiddo over the ipod touch. We'll still have her old 3rd gen ipod touch but can't see ever buying another one.
As usual they sucked big time in terms of pricing. Buying a damn iPAD mini for that price? Hmm not sure how somebody can quote this as a competition to Nexus!
I can happily skip this event!
I will probably get the 16GB WiFi only iPad mini. If it had used the faster processor and had an anti-glare screen, I would order the 64GB LTE...
Option for NONE should be available. Very biased survey.
I am getting the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for $299. Nice 5.5 screen and a phone too. Everything I need all in one device. Maybe Apple I phone 6 next year will have about 6 inch screen , then maybe I go back to Apple.
New Nexus 7 here I come! It boils down to price for me.
I'm a little angry with both myself and Apple, i just bought the iPad 3 last thursday thinking it would be fine from upgrades till next year. So now my options are to just keep what i have or activate my 14 day returns and wait till mid november and get the iPad 4.
You'd want to return regardless. Refurbs are a 100-150 cheaper on apple.com right now.
None from that list. I need a new laptop so I'm getting a refurb MBP 13" 2.9 i7 with the 750 HDD.
Mini iPad looks cool, not buying new though. Maybe in 7mo. I'll pick up a refurb.
ipad mini.i was going to get an ipod touch 5g to replace my 1st gen ipod touch,but the price was too close, so i chose the ipad mini 8-].
I have never had an iPad. I was really excited about the mini annoucement thinking that it might be a better idea for my uses than the larger one, but comparing it to my iPhone 5 it doesn't seem that much bigger or better. So I am going to get the iPad 4. But what size IDK. Or do I wait 6 more months and see what the next gen has in store?
I have a better idea. Buy my iPad 3.
I had my iPad 3 for 43 days and returned it Friday night. I figured they were going to go with the Lightning connectors and am very pleasantly surprised when I heard about the iPad 4. I was dancing around like Snoopy! I'll be getting a black 32GB iPad 4 as soon as it's available. Might even though in a Mac Mini or 27" iMac when it's released. Haven't decided on that yet.
I just bought an iPhone 5 as soon as it was released in Norway, so I can't really afford (affort?) somthing new right now (plus i already have an iPad 2). +it takes four weeks after i can order them until they arrive, and i'll get too excited to wait a month for them anyway
I'll get the Ipad Mini. I've had both the Kindle Fire and Galaxy 7 and while they are cheaper they just don't offer what Apple does, at least for me. I get why people love Android products, but I prefer Apple as they satisfy all my needs. I know the Mini is more expensive, but it's worth it to me.
No. None.
2012 is not the year for me in terms of luck in mobile devices...
May 2012 - Nokia Lumia 900 released in UK
September 2012 - Nokia Lumia 920 revealed and proposed release date of November
Practically made obsolete here in the space of 6 months!
April 2012 - iPad 3 Cellular 64GB purchased through work
June 2012 - received iPad 3
October 2012 - already made obsolete as superseded by better iPad 4th gen
Again made obsolete within the space of 6 months!
I fully understand that my iPad 3 will work fine however it just feels like a big, giant f*** you to all the early adopters of the iPad 3rd gen... It was generally accepted that apple have an annual product life cycle but 6 months?!?!? That's just piss poor if you ask me
Couple this with the current state of iTunes Match, it's not painting a very rosy picture for me...
Just my personal opinion of course!
We were wondering why Apple didn't call the iPad (3rd gen) the "2012 iPad."
Now we know why.
I will not buy anything from apple any more. I bought the new ipad just in Sept 2012, and now they talk that it being replaced eith ipad 4...
Following imore forum everyday from past 6 months. Always apple prices are high for me.
Don't know when can i buy apple product:)
my mac book pro is still good got an ipad 3 recently ( dang it ) so if i was going to buy anything it would be an ipad mini its the only new product every thing else works great still
Disappointed with apple!

Songstress Teairra Mari shows us how to work one style four ways.
Nowadays, professionals say it's common to maximize your style by transforming one look to three or four more. "I come from an era where girls were getting their hair done on a weekly basis with no problem," says celebrity stylist Antonio Wright Thigpen. "Now that the economy has changed so much, you kind of want to give clients something that they can deal with a little bit longer."
Here, Thigpen takes R&B songstress Teairra Mari, who released Sincerely Yours, a digital EP via iTunes this summer, from glam to funky to playful to classic, each style starting with a ponytail he created with extensions.
D-Wade talks about his off-court style stats.
Dwyane Wade is quite the anomaly—not just for his skillful feats on the court, but also for his trendsetting style choices off of it. The 28-year-old NBA standout, who recently costarred in Just Wright with Queen Latifah and Common, says he's quite comfortable in the distinguished gentleman role—even if it means getting routine facials.

I'm guessing that anyone that goes to see a movie named "Lone Survivor" will assume from the title of the film that only one man comes out alive, right? And that when the producer of the film, Mark Wahlberg, is also the star, that he'll be the said survivor, yes? Wahlberg plays Houston-born Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, who with three fellow SEALs was ambushed by Taliban forces during a special operation on a remote Afghani mountain in 2005.
That a Grammy-winning singer is coming to the Carver Cultural Center is a big deal, but that she's been nominated seven times makes it far bigger still. She's Brazilian jazz singer Luciana Souza, who will perform Saturday, January 19, at the Carver's Jo Long Theater, and to call her music smooth is an understatement.
I spoke withe Ms. Souza recently about her upcoming performance.
President Barack Obama has selected five areas in the country to be "promise zones" designed to revitalize economically and educationally distressed areas. The East Side of San Antonio has been selected as one.
During a news conference, the president named the East Side specifically, pointing out that 40 percent of adults do not have a high school diploma and crime is 50 percent higher in that part of town.
A tentative buyer has declined to purchase the property -- known as Crescent Hills -- adjacent to the Bracken Bat Cave and now a coalition of potential buyers is hoping to acquire the land to preserve it.
The coalition is a loosely-knit group of people and organizations who want to see the land surrounding the bat cave permanently preserved instead of being open for development of houses and commercial activity.
One of the interested parties is San Antonio District 8 Councilman Ron Nirenberg.
There are only two entrances open to the Bexar County Jail after officials discovered several incidents of security violations involving cell phone use in secure areas of the jail.
Sheriff Susan Pamerleau announced Thursday that one contractor had been arrested after jail officials learned he had brought cell phones into the jail.
"The individual was granted access to the jail to perform his job, but he abused that access by bringing in a cell phone and providing it to an inmate," Pamerleau said.
As is so often the case, discoveries are made by the back way. I was browsing today the upcoming 2014 programming of the Orquesta Filarmonica de Buenos Aires, conducted by my old acquaintance Enrique Arturo Diemecke. I saw many familiar composers, but a sprinkling of unknown, mostly Latin American composers as well. Esteban Benzecry, an Argentine musician, was among them. It was a new name to me, and new music--they're playing his Violin Concerto in Buenos Aires.
How have your New Year's resolutions held up? Here is a place where some of you might actually be able to keep them. If one of your resolutions was to re-connect with the artsy you, or to try and tap into that "right brain" of yours, there's the Southwest School of Art.
"It's never too late to be creative," said Southwest's Drawing and Painting Department Chair Vincent Valdez.
Valdez is encouraging San Antonians to come down and maybe find the rest of who they are.
Floating the Comal River could cost non-New Braunfels residents a $5 fee if its city council votes in favor of a new proposal.
When tubing the Comal River you can either rent a tube from an outfitter and use their entry point, or use your own tube and enter from one of the city's parks.
"We spend pretty close to $1 million per year in all of the river maintenance, clean-up, and police and fire," said New Braunfels Mayor Gale Pospisil. "So we were looking at a way to try to bring in some revenue to help us to keep the river and keep the services provided for our visitors."
The city's Dvořák Festival begins tomorrow and Camerata San Antonio is getting ready for their performance on Sunday, January 19.
"We are truly excited to be partnering with the San Antonio Symphony in their yearly festival," said cellist and co-founder Ken Freudigman.
Camerata is a four-piece chamber ensemble that grows just a bit during these festivals.
"This year Camerata will be partnering with the soloist pianist Michel Dalberto in the magnificent 'Piano Quintet in A Major,'" Freudigman said.
But Dalberto isn't Camerata's only guest.
Texas Department of Transportation Chief Financial Officer James Bass has been named as the interim director of the state agency as the Texas Transportation Commission, the group that oversee's TxDOT, works to find a replacement.
TxDOT executive director Phil Wilson is stepping down and will take a position at the Lower Colorado River Authority.
Wilson was the first TxDOT director to not have an engineering background and Jeff Mosely, chairman of the Transportation Commission, said the new director will likely follow that trend.

Can't believe Suguri hasn't retired.
Suguri for gold in Sochi!
Last year there were two ice dance teams at Nationals. http://img.pixs.ru/storage/1/6/5/_8721646_1425165.jpg
And yes, one pair, Narumi and Mervin.
The Junior national champion team of Misato KOMATSUBARA / Kokoro MIZUTANI (14th in the preliminary round at Junior Worlds -- link to their ISU bio: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00012476.htm ) have also split -- she's listed on icepartnersearch.
ETA what I posted in this thread early June:
In June, the JSF had tryout sessions for new pair and dance teams. There's no hint about what happened though, in pair and ice dance, new teams outside of the team categories could be sent to international competitions. There's a rumor that Allison Reed was at the dance tryout.
FWIW, I remember that Allison Reed changed the citizenship line of her icepartnersearch bio from Japan to USA before she eventually took the bio down.
Reposting the following from the Programs thread:
Japan's JGP singles skater pool (listed as entries and/or alternates for the 1st JGP) includes:
Ladies: Riona KATO and Miyabi OBA (Latvia), Yukiko FUJISAWA, Yuki NISHINO, Rin NITAYA, Roanna Sari OSHIKAWA, Kako TOMOTAKI, Saya UENO
Men: Ryuju HINO and Sei KAWAHARA (Latvia), Shoya ICHIHASHI, Shu NAKAMURA, Jun SUZUKI

This is an article in the website "Sportsnavi" in Japan
Translated from Japanese.
Aiming at the new season, the training camp is being held.
August 3rd, 2011 JST
The training camp for the players who participate to the Grand Prix (GP) series of this season opened to public in the ice arena of Chukyo University in Toyota city in Aichi prefecture in August 3rd. The training camp is being held for 4 days from August 1st. Each player was polishing the skating skill carefully.
Kanako Murakami (Chukyo University Chukyo High School) who attained to her second year in senior checked the step etc, while playing a part of Mendelssohn's "Violin Concerto" which she adopted as the music of the free skating. She said, "I think that it has a characteristic of the music which differs from the music which I have skated so far". And she said, "I think that I would like to skate so that the audience says that I became to adult-like".
Mao Asada did not participate for being in poor health. Daisuke Takahashi did not participate for being in an other training camp in Hokkaido. Takahiko Kozuka left the training camp in August 2nd for going to US. Worlds Champion, Miki Ando does not participate to GP series in this season.
The article:
Aiming at the new season, the training camp is being held.
Translater's note:
The players who participated to the training camp seem to have been Takahiko Kozuka, Nobunari Oda, Yuzuru Hanyu, Kanako Murakami, Akiko Suzuki and Haruka Imai.

I really liked Murakami's perkiness and I wish that it was developed, instead of trying to transform her into a "more adult skater," ie. a typical zzz... Lady. ;P
What's wrong with Mao?
Also Daisuke does not joint this camp, but he has another camp with his coach Takeshi Honda in Sapporo, Hakkaido now.
News said just Daisuke is not ready to join the camp yet.
(He had the surgery in May, and maybe not totally recovered?)
Kanako's fresh-faced, perky, "Jumpin' Jack" routine was my favorite routine of any of the ladies last season. It was a welcome break from the monotony of cookie-cutter programs we usually get from senior ladies. BUT, at the same time, she's gotta expand and grow up a bit if she wants to stay competitive and get the kind of scores she deserves. I keep saying the main thing that this current crop of ladies will hold over the newbies entering this season is their experience and maturity. Kanako has grown over the summer and she'll need to show that. I like the mature look and I can get used to it. What I don't want to see is her lose that spark and energy she has when she skates. She can maintain both of those great qualities without the bouncy-bouncy music and costumes...she's very versatile when it comes to music, so it'll be interesting to see what she brings to the table.
I really like her and I hope she has a great season this year...
ETA: Does anyone have more info on why Mao isn't attending training camp? Is she injured? Sick? Any news?
I really hope Mao's okay
This is an article in "Sankei Sports" in Japan.

Kanako showed the program of this season.
August 5th, 2011 JST
By Noboru Ito
In August 3rd, the training camp for the players who participated to Grand Prix (GP) series of this season was opened to public in the ice arena of Chukyo University in Toyota city in Aichi prefecture and Kanako Murakami (16, Chukyo University Chukyo High School) etc showed the program of this season.
For Murakami who attains to her second year in senior, it is the training camp which becomes to real start. She revealed that she made the program, with requesting to a foreign choreographer for the first time, saying "I was confused because I could not understand English, but I think that it was good to have been to abroad" with smiling face.
Particularly, as for the short program, she requested to Tatiana Tarasova whom Mao Asada (20, Chukyo University) studied under once. She is going to decide whether she adopt it formally after spending a time.
The nova who won the 3rd place in Grand prix final in last season is scheduled to participate to the 3rd event, "China Cup" (at Shanghai in November 4th-6th) and to the 5th event, "Tropee Eric Bompard" (at Paris in November 18th-20th).
By the way, Mao Asada did not participate to this training camp for being poor health.

Features on preamps that tend to vary the most include the number of EQ controls and the existence of notch filters, compression, XLR outputs, 2-channel mixing capabilities, and phantom power.

Apple still claiming biggest share of profits among smartphone manufacturers
Asymco has compiled the profits, revenues, and unit shipments among all of the major manufacturers, and as you can see in this graph, Apple is still kicking everyone's behind when it comes to smartphone profit share. Though the revenue share gap with Samsung is a bit smaller than the one for profits, Apple is still decidedly in the lead. After all is said and done, Apple is claiming 75% of the profit share, 40% of the revenue share, and 9% of the unit share of the mobile market (though that last number might be closer to 8%).
After Apple's monstrously successful first quarter it's no surprise that Apple is profitable. Heck, it's no surprise they're the undisputed God-King of the mobile industry, and they probably have a giant pool of money where employees can get all Scrooge McDuck on lunch breaks. However the fact that Apple is pulling in so much money out of the entire industry really illustrates just how successful the iPhone has become. Of course, if you ask any Android fan, financial success doesn't necessarily equate to product quality (and I'm inclined to agree with them), but you can't argue with the results. There's another great graph here that shows just how much the iPhone's market share has increased on multiple fronts since launch in 2007.
With this much of a lead, how much does Apple really have to worry about? Will it suffer death by a thousand cuts from a bajillionty Android devices? Or will Windows Phone eventually come into its own and give iPhone a run for its money? Looking at this graphs, it's hard to imagine either of these things happening. The best the competition can reasonably hope for now is to get comfortable in second place. Let's put it this way -- what would the competition have to do to win you over?
Source: Asymco
There are 13 comments. Add yours.
Only Apple gets away with selling overpriced phones everyone. That's the conclusion drawn.
and yet the 4s is pretty much the same price as the galaxy nexus s
Yeah but with old tech.
Dual core processor, best camera on a phone and the smoothest OS. I guess old tech is amazing.
What I mean is they are using old tech for top prices. Dual Core chip been used in iPad 2. Retina screen used in iPhone 4. 64 GB memory used in iPad 2. Cost to produce these have gone down, yet the price for iPhone 4S price didnt change. Siri and better camara, in my opinon, not worth an upgrade for the same price as iPhonr 4
Enough already... Apple is doing well, so is android... move along ;-)
i dont get it, i may dont know much but, how come the profit are higher than revenues?
It is shown in percentage
and you are getting how much from this?0 so stop harping on about this crap,the only people that should care is shareholders. lol whats happened to proper non biased writers,seems like the majority are just fanboys pretending not to be.
As an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac owner, it means that my favorite tech company can continue to innovate and bring me great products. From a consumer perspective, that's what's important! I don't have to be a shareholder to benefit from their great financial performance. As I see it, the entire industry is being driven by Apple's innovation and that benefits everyone. So don't be so dismissive of the rest of us. As for the competition, it means less profit and only the best will survive.
This is not good from a consumer perspective! If Apple makes loads of money selling iphone 4s and iPad 2, what reason does Apple have to innovate?
Look what happened last year. Apple put out iphone 4s without changing much and people bought it in droves. Unless the competition starts to make more money, you will not see Apple reduce its' prices or inovate in a big way.

Captain's Report by Capt. SteveWith the chines carrying fully forward to form spray rails, and nice wide flared bows, the 3600 VX has all the makings of an outstanding sea boat. Open Fishing Space…There is plenty of room on the aft deck for fishing, the 3600VX's primary mission. Three massive 350-hp Yamaha outboards hang off the stern, which limits you to hauling in the big catch over the sides. Not a big concern as on the starboard side, you can opt for a tuna door and either haul in a monster, or exit the boat with scuba tanks and gear. This also makes dockside boarding much easier than swinging a leg over the wide caprail. The usual fishing amenities are present… a 40-gallon (151.4 L) transom livewell, two 80 qt (75.7 L) fish boxes in the deck, toe rails for that extra hang-on factor, the bait prep centers with running water and, as expected, the now common rumble seat at the stern. Honestly, after seeing how other boats engineer their rumble seats, I'm much more impressed with Hydra-Sports' version. It's easy to deploy by one person and stows away flush to the transom and out of the way when it's time to go to work. The aft facing seat is a nice touch and there's an option for turning it into a Frigid Rigid fish box. Notice the steps to the foredeck just to port, and behind the open hatch (that is back-gelled) you can see rod storage and the toe-rails. I like how the aft rumble seat remains flush when stowed. Seven rod holders allow for plenty of storage, but these continue all around the boat. Notice the walk-step just ahead of the engines. You won't believe how convenient this small feature is when you do engine checks or regular maintenance. With the rumble seat deployed, you have a comfortable spot for riding out to the grounds. The seat back rises as the seat lowers. The tuna door is optional and it's been completely redesigned, and for the better. This also makes for a great dive door and facilitates easy boarding from the dock. Notice the livewell is painted blue to reduce the shock to your fish, and the rounded corners keep them protected when the going gets rough. Helm AreaAs usual, Hydra-Sports didn't skimp on the helm. It's humongous, with enough real estate for dual 12" (30.5 cm) displays and then some, and Hydra-Sports offers options for factory installed C or E class 12" (30.5cm) Raymarine or Garmin widescreens. Full instrumentation is present including digital readouts for engine tachs and speeds, plus trim condition. Dual independent helm seats keep both the driver and observer comfortable, and visibility is great thanks to the curved hardtop supports that also keep from intruding on the side walkway. Inside the console, where I was expecting a head, is a generator/storage room. It's walk in, with plenty of standup headroom. Vertical rod storage is forward, and the electrical panels are aft. It's also here that I got to see the underside of the drink holders that surround the console. Guess what? They all had hoses connected to them that allowed any condensate to drain into the bilge. It's that level of attention to the little details that keeps setting the standard at Hydra-Sports. Two 12" (30.5 cm) displays, and twin seats with flip-up bolsters are the highlights of the helm. Notice the dual footrests. I'd like to see the compass moved in front of the captain. And check out the aft facing seat. There's an option to make that a Frigid Rigid fish box. Bow AccessYou can get to the bow two ways: One, the center walkthrough - big steps and easy grab rails make the transition from main deck to bow a snap. A low profile windshield is easily stepped over. Secondly, right at the side of the center console is a pair of steps built into the side bulwarks. Once forward you have bow rails that seem to be an afterthought as they're relatively low. A standard windlass will haul in your stainless anchor and 400' (121.9 m) of chain. A hatch to starboard allows you easy access to reach in and deal with any tangles that may occur. Forward Console SeatingJust ahead of the center console is L-shaped seating. It looks more comfortable than it is, at least if there are more than two people using it. If kept at two, then it is more functional, even allowing one to face aft, down the side of the console. With more than two it gets cramped and knees start knocking. But it is a cool feature and one that I suspect will get a lot of use in the family arena. It's a great place for the kids to hang and stay sheltered, while still getting fresh air. The CabinIt's hard to believe that this cabin comes from a company run by such die hard anglers, but here it is. A teak and holly sole, Corian countertops, top notch appliances, air conditioning… it's all here. The usual forward seating and a table convert to a V-berth, and at the aft end of the cabin is a double berth under the deck, just as you would see in an express cruiser. I did a quick count of "sleeps four" and then I caught the small hooks over the forward seats. Ah ha…. Lifting up the seat backs reveal Pullman berths that connect to those overhead hooks. So it's a "sleeps six". Very nice. Now to be sure, this V-berth is a narrow sleeping area, at least in the lower berths, and the wives may have a hard time with it. But there is a "good news" trade-off. First, just move mom and dad to the aft berth and leave the four V-sleepers to the kids. Secondly, step off the boat and check out the bow from the showroom floor. That narrow entry reveals a bow that will tame the heavy seas that this boat will typically encounter, and the bow flares wide as it moves up, so by all appearances, this will be a boat that will be nearly impossible to "stuff" while cutting through just about anything. This is just one more item to add to my "test" list, but that, added to the 23-degree deadrise sure takes the edge out of any shortcomings in width from a V-berth perspective. The forward settee converts to a V-berth easily enough. And if that isn't enough, notice the overhead hook-eyes. They're for lifting the seatbacks up to make Pullman berths. Add the aft cabin and you have a fish-boat that sleeps 6 quite nicely. You won't be cooking a 4-course meal in this galley but you will be able to handle the casual meals, and would you have it any other way? To starboard is the "wet" head and I found it roomy enough for taking a mock shower and… you know. I didn't care for the mirror on the back of the door when closed, but when open a full length mirror fills a definite need when the family is aboard. ConclusionFor a boat that was made by a fish savvy company the likes of Hydra-Sports, this 3600 VX has the makings of a very family friendly cruising boat that will appeal to a lot of people. And with the Hydra-Sports heritage, it will be around for the long haul too.

The Magic of Flight DVD in IMAX takes you to the skies as you soar into the world of aviation. Using HD cameras, filmmakers fly higher and faster than ever before and capture the magic as the amazing pilots defy gravity. In the Blue Angels DVD The Magic of Flight, you go from the Wright Brothers' first flight to the Blue Angels' flips and spins.
The Magic of Flight DVD has you fly with the U.S. Navy's elite Blue Angels demonstration squadron in the breathtaking video The Magic of Flight, which explains the basic principles of what enables airplanes (and birds) to fly, what creates lift, how planes maneuver, how planes land again. Going back to the Wright Brothers' experiments at Kitty Hawk, the documentary explores how the intrepid bicycle makers ruminated on the elements of flight for many an hour before even attempting to assemble their first aircraft. In the Blue Angels DVD, The Blue Angels put into action the discoveries made by the Wright Brothers, as they make their selections, train, and perform.
Pilots push their high-performance fighter planes through difficult but graceful maneuvers for amazed air-show audiences, demonstrating where the state of the art really lies for 21st-century flying. The modern aircraft DVD shows that for all the skills of the pilots, the most astonishing part of the video would have to be the camera work, with cameras mounted on the planes' bellies, noses, and cockpits to give an up-close view of what the machines are really capable of. Planes fly arm's length apart during maneuvers where the slightest misstep would mean certain catastrophe. The Magic of Flight Discovery DVD does indeed go a long way toward capturing the wonder of flying, with spectacular camera work, editing, and production.
Shop for The Magic of Flight DVD, and fly high as the experience of aviators is pushed to the test and shown to you in high definition.

text: I was at a local store today where a salesman invited me to demo their new Sony 65inch 4K Ultra HD TV - Black - XBR65X900A. He started by running a copy of Jurassic Park 3D, upscaling from a Samsung 4k capable player. The picture wasn't any better than I had seen this movie before, all it really did was confirm my dislike for 3D. I asked if he had any actual 4k material to play on this thing, and he stuck in a Sony-provided USB with 4k promo clips on it (non 3D). Got to admit, I was very impressed. Supposedly, we're going from 1080p of 2 million pixels to 8 million here. My old eyes couldn't really tell if it was 4 times as good, I am guessing not, but it sure was better. Colors (reds, greens) were absolutely incredible, though of course Sony has done the clips up to look good. Such smoothness too, with the objects on the screen, almost a "live" appearance. And so begins the next phase in video evolution I guess, with a price that will scare off most without deep pockets. And of course, there's nothing much to play on it yet. Chicken or the egg, we've all seen this before, but I think it will come in time. Oh yeah, price was $7600 CDN, and they only had one. I asked if I could get it for half price, since it was a demo model. He scoffed at me. SCOFFED I tell ya. Oh well, my Panny will have to do a few more years. Great TV though, if anyone gets the chance to view it with some 4k material, I highly recommend having a look.

"Please don't ruin other people's experience by revealing secrets in unmarked threads, and if you want to enjoy the game to its fullest, stay away from any threads that might ruin the fun for you," wrote Levine. "With a game like BioShock, it will really make a difference.

Hanna Boys Center director John Crews retires from ministry
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 8:47 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 1:24 p.m.
The Rev. John Crews, the director of Hanna Boys Center in Sonoma Valley who resigned last week in the wake of an allegation of sexual misconduct more than 40 years ago, has retired from the Catholic Church ministry and now is out of the area, at least temporarily.
Bishop Robert Vasa of the Santa Rosa Diocese disclosed Thursday that Crews, 67, no longer is an active priest and that he is away caring for his ailing mother. Vasa declined to provide additional information on Crews' whereabouts.
During Crews' 29 years at the helm of the Hanna Boys Center, the campus burnished its reputation in the Bay Area as a respected residential complex providing education and guidance for thousands of at-risk teen-age boys. It also is in the midst of a major funding campaign and campus expansion.
His supporters are expressing dismay and disbelief at his sudden fall, an event seemingly triggered from beyond the grave.
Crews resigned less than a week after a caller told Sebastopol police and then diocese officials that a man now dead had recounted that he was a youth in 1971 when Crews had engaged him in sexual misconduct at a Sebastopol church. Crews, ordained in 1971, served at St. Sebastians Church in Sebastopol and St. Josephs Church in Cotati prior to taking over at the Hanna Center in 1984.
Neither the diocese nor Sebastopol police have shed light on the alleged victim, the person who reported the allegation or any details about the case.
Crews has been unavailable for comment.
Meanwhile, an inquiry of sorts has been launched by authorities, although Sebastopol Police Chief Jeff Weaver said Thursday there are limited options for pursuing a 42-year-old incident.
Weaver said he could not disclose the name of the alleged perpetrator or victim, since no arrest has been made and the victim is "not available" to police. But his case appears nearly identical to the reports involving Crews.
Weaver said his department first heard of the sex assault case Feb. 1 from a caller the chief would not identify. He described the caller's account as "second-hand" information because the caller said the victim had "confided in me" regarding the alleged assault. Vasa said Wednesday the alleged victim was deceased.
The caller stated that the alleged perpetrator was "still working in a capacity" that concerned the caller, who felt that "others might be vulnerable," Weaver said.
Police subsequently received a call from a church official who wanted to make sure police knew of the allegation, Weaver said.
The chief said he erred Wednesday when he told a reporter that one of his officers had discussed the case with the District Attorney's Office.
Weaver said he subsequently learned that a sergeant had advised investigating officer Dennis Colt-hurst to contact Sonoma County Sheriff's Office sex crimes investigators to determine if they were handling a related investigation or had advice on how to proceed.
Colthurst and a sheriff's detective talked Wednesday, and on Thursday police were sending their information to the detective, Weaver said.
Sheriff's Sgt. Ruben Martinez of the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault unit did not return a phone call Thursday.
The case remains open, Weaver said, but police are not seeking witnesses "because there aren't any," and officers cannot talk to the victim because he is "no longer available to us."
He also said the statute of limitations has expired, preventing any potential prosecution.
"Our ability to follow up is very limited," Weaver said.
His officers could interview the alleged perpetrator, he said, after they are assured that no other agency is pursuing the case.

In the Man vs. Wild Season 3 DVD set, you'll learn that Bear Grylls has served with the British Special Forces, climbed Everest and explored the Arctic. In this exciting series, he shows us how to survive the toughest and most remote environments on the planet by putting himself in the position of a stranded tourist. In the Man vs. Wild DVDs from season three, Bear parachutes into rainforests and abseils into deserts, lakes and the highest, most inhospitable peaks in America. Using his specialist survival techniques to find his way out of these wildernesses, he climbs sheer cliffs, navigates white water and icy crevasses, encounters predators, and forages for maggots, raw fish, alligator meat and live snakes as food.
Shop for the Man vs. Wild Season 3 DVD set, and thrill as super-survival expert Bear Grylls takes on some of the most treacherous landscapes, rivers, and creatures in America.
THE DEEP SOUTH: In the swamps of the Deep South, Bear dodges alligator attacks, tangles with snakes and uses his ingenuity to hook a catfish with his bare hands.
IRELAND: On the rugged West Coast of Ireland, Bear gets stuck in a peat bog retrieving a dead sheep and risks hypothermia when he's washed out of his shelter overnight.
SOUTH DAKOTA: Bear's latest adventure takes him to South Dakota, home to three incredible wilderness areas: the Black Hills, the Great Plains and the Badlands.
YUKON: Like the pioneers in search of gold, Bear fights his way across the frozen wastelands of North America's Yukon, battling to stay afloat in treacherous white water.
ROMANIA: Bear enters Dracula country-the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania-where he encounters steep ravines and comes face to face with a brown bear.
TURKEY: Bear heads for the Anatolian plateau in Turkey. From freezing mountain tops to the lifeless steppes, he battles white-water rapids, poisonous snakes and scorpions.
BELIZE: In the jungles of Belize, Bear plays Tarzan, comes face to face with a nine-foot boa constrictor and is left hanging by his fingertips over a raging white-water river.
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Jumping from a hovering helicopter into open water, Bear swims to a deserted island with no water and nothing for breakfast except a tarantula.
OREGON: Deep in the Oregon wilderness, Bear takes on Hell's Canyon. Huge snowdrifts, 150-foot cliffs and the frigid waters of the Snake River stand between him and town.

Which of these skaters can beat a clean Yu Na Kim at the Olympics if they also skate clean. If you feel nobody then vote for that option, the bottom one.
Which of these skaters can beat a clean Yu Na Kim at the Olympics if they also skate clean. If you feel nobody then vote for that option, the bottom one.
Hmm TBH I think a CLEAN YNK is unbeatable. Even if she makes 3 errors, i doubt anyone will sneak up and take the medal home.
Notice I said can, not neccessarily will. I think if everyone skated cleanly Yu Na would probably still win. However there are many variables to clean, a clean performance could more inspired on a day than another one, the content and exact standard of execution and performance on a given day might change, a judge might appreciate certain skaters more or less than other panels. So that with that being said I think the skaters who could beat a clean Yu Na Kim if they also skate cleanly are Kostner, Asada, and Sotnikova. A clean Kim would still likely be scored over all others skating cleanly though, and she is by far the most likely to skate or closer to clean, so yeah she is pretty much certain to win, but I do think it is hypothetically possible for a clena Sotnikova or Kostner especialy to be marked above a clean Kim.
MAYBE Mao if she did 8 triples in the long and four in the short (3F-3Lo, 3 something and 3 Axel)
Sotnikova have all the goods to challenge Kim. Great jumps, better spins than Kim, great artistry, she just is inconsistent and had a bad choroegraphed long program this year. However if she skates clean, and getting a home ice boost in the scores probably due to being in Russia, I think she could be close, and depending on the day maybe even beat a clean Kim. I know Sotnikova wont do a clean competition though so it is a moot point, but fun to speculate.
At this point, i think only Kostner is capable of doing so, but I don't think Kim has yet peaked. I think either oe woud make a worthy Olympic champ next year
Oh yes, that long program was just
Maybe in a few years, she will become like Kim. But it will take time, will and smart decisions.
Just a few years ago, I thought that a clean Asada could beat a clean Kim. Once I realized it would never happen, I worried less about the results and just enjoyed good skating from both.
Cheesy I know right
Mao Asada with a solo 3A in her SP and a 8-triple LP means she can potentially outscore anyone, but also it is highly unlikely because she is not a very solid technician anymore.
The other girls no.
I had a feeling the judges were ready to give the title to Carolina this WC if she skated clean, even over clean Yuna. Unfortunately she couldn't.
As for even this year the protocals for Kostner to win even without her 3 mistakes (1 in the short, 2 in the long) dont quite add up unless you factor in some massive GOE and PCS boost.
A clean Asada would still not get the kind of GOE's that Kim and Kostner do.
However, a clean Kostner means well-choreographed programs with excellent jumps and footwork that can match or exceed Kim's, with 7 triples to boot (assuming she nails her 3F-3T.) If both Kostner and Kim go clean, Kostner should come out on top.
To my chagrin, that's a big If.
Michelle Kwan. Did this really need asking?
Patrick Chan?
No one. But a clean Kostner is easily in 2nd over a clean Mao
I guess its theoretically possible for a clean Caro or Mao to equal a clean Yuna, but neither Caro nor Mao came close to being clean in London, nor did Yuna come close to making a mistake.
A clean Kostner comes close, but not enough, unless it's really inspired. A perfectly clean (no UR) Mao with 8 triples in the LP and 4 triples in the SP, certainly. Both are extremely unlikely, though. Carolina and Mao would have to be perfect under the overwhelming pressure of the Olympics. Carolina bombed both times in Torino and Vancouver. It's likely those demons could return once she steps on Olympic ice again. Mao's layout is so ambitious she has almost no chance of skating it 100% clean.

However, why would anyone then take 'awareness' (or was it alertness?) for +2/+2 when they could take skill focus perception for +3? (Hint hint for you tweakers XD)
Also, Concentraion (constitution) and spellcraft (intelligence) together? Which stat do I use, intelligence since it's now just called spellcraft?
correct. the idea with that one is that a Wizards ability to mantain a spell has more to do with his ability in casting (hence int based and spellcraft) than it does with his ability to take a blow (especially since he is already taking a penalty because of that in the first place)

I do have a question about skill combination though. Jagg was given his skills naturally for being a level one wolf companion. I was wondering how his skills would combine to make Perception and Stealth.
for Jagg combine the skills acordingly:
Dex 15 =+2 to hide/move silently so his 3 in hide is 1 rank and his 4 in move silently is 2 ranks. his new Stealth would be 5 (3 total ranks +2 from dex)
I believe his Perception would be 7 (2ranks in spot 2ranks in listen +1 from wis and +2 natural wolf ability for listen)
