OH, DEER: Becky, a live hand-reared deer, has a starring role in the Mulberry Christmas ad campaign — and she got the full diva treatment. "She had her hair and makeup done, and her spots were crushed so they looked more beautiful," said a company spokeswoman, adding that a live swan was also used in the campaign. The campaign's enchanted forest set was designed by Shona Heath and shot by her husband Tim Gutt. Heath also created the Mulberry Christmas windows at Harrods, which were unveiled earlier this week at an in-store event during which Allen Leech — or Tom Branson from "Downton Abbey" — read an excerpt from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol."
For the campaign — which broke earlier this month in The Times of London and The Telegraph — and for the windows, Heath said her idea was to create a world ruled by snow queen whose touch turns bits of nature — squirrel whiskers, arrows, and bulrushes — into gold. "The scene starts at the edges of a country house, and then gets wilder and wilder," said Heath. As for Becky the deer, Heath said she was "calm and had a nice nature, although she was a little bit nervous."

Kate Middleton and Prince William have nothing on black folks when it comes to baby names. Our own royal family, the Obama's boast such exotic names as Sasha and Malia. Of course they have to respect some boundaries that the celebrities below don't, and the British royals have to work within the confines of family names. But when those restraints are lifted you should see what you get when music industry royalty decides to get in on the trend of odd and 'unique' baby names, (which are getting to be commonplace) and attempt to one-up their mainstream peers. What you getis exponentially weirder and more outlandish names, especially when you consider the fact that black people are already given to being ultra-creative with names. As a matter of fact I think I know an "Ultra."

So Thursday morning, I woke early and headed off to a Gardens for Health Meeting. All of the people who had contacted me and told me to speak to certain people had led to this moment. I was nervous, excited and hoped the influential and wise minds at the network meeting for Gardens for Health would not laugh my idea of a urban farm concept all the way out of the community garden in Tuakau where said meeting was to be held.
A beautiful, sunny morning, I nervously walked in the front…

Earlier in the week from a Facebook CG page the wonderful Tara gave me a much needed starting point a contact at the Auckland Council. My heart sank, who ever heard of council workers being helpful, but Tara was insistent that this was the person I needed to start with.

Man Builds Car For Pet Parrot
January 17, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
GAINESVILLE, Fla., (UPI) – A Florida computer engineering student said he built a small, robotic car for his parrot so the pet bird could get around the house easily.
Andrew Gray, 29, a graduate student at the University of Florida in Gainesville, said he tried several methods of keeping his African grey parrot, Pepper, from squawking all the time and eventually realized the bird, which he has had for 10 to 11 years, just wanted to be around people, ABC News reported Wednesday.
"I realized the bird needed to be around people constantly. He just needed to be in the same room," Gray said. "So I built the Bird Buggy."
Gray said Pepper steers the robotic car with his beak.
"He knows how to drive, forwards, backwards, left and right," Gray said. "He loves his new toy."
He said the car had sensors to make sure Pepper doesn't crash.
Gray said the Bird Buggy has been effective in keeping Pepper's squawking spells under control and may have other benefits in the future.
"It was just an experiment that will maybe get me a job down the road," Gray said.

Partner Profile Founded in 1984, Cisco Systems, Inc. is a worldwide leader in networking with a mission to transform how people connect, communicate and collaborate. The company seeks to build environmental sustainability into each of its business functions and processes. The use of green power plays an important role in doing so and in reducing Cisco's environmental footprint. Electricity represents more than 85 percent of Cisco's Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and as a result, green power is instrumental to the company's GHG management strategy. In 2013, Cisco used more than 425 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of green power for its U.S. operations, amounting to over 40 percent of the company's U.S. electricity consumption. Cisco also recently announced a new set of environmental sustainability targets, one of which is to reduce its average electricity emission factor to 50 percent of the latest International Energy Agency (IEA) world average emission factor by end of 2017. Another target is to use electricity from renewable sources for at least 25% of global electricity consumed every year through FY2017. Cisco's global presence enables it to play an important role in promoting green power and environmental sustainability within the IT industry. Through its environmental sustainability strategy, the company is able to lead by example by reducing GHG emissions throughout its own operations, and by encouraging its vendors, business partners, and supply chain to do the same. Cisco reports to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and has succeeded in getting between 80 and 100 percent of its primary suppliers (depending on type) to report to the CDP. Cisco now also asks suppliers to report how much green power they use in its Supplier Business Scorecard. Going forward, Cisco will continue to communicate the meaningful role that green power plays in its sustainability strategy as well as within the IT industry at large. The company is also building employee enthusiasm and momentum for green power by leveraging its "Cisco Green" online community to disseminate information and identify sustainability champions within the organization. Cisco also plans to highlight its green power use to industry peers and stakeholders through its Corporate Sustainability Reports and by setting and publicizing meaningful green power commitments. Cisco Systems, Inc. received the EPA Green Power Partner of the Year Award in 2008 and 2013. |

Red vs Blue
Talk0this wiki
Redirected from Red vs. Blue
Red vs. Blue, often abbreviated as RvB, is a machinima series created by Rooster Teeth Productions. The story centers around two opposing teams of soldiers fighting a perpetual civil war. The series is primarily produced using the machinima technique of synchronizing video footage from a game to pre-recorded dialogue and other audio. Footage is mostly from the multiplayer modes of Halo: Combat Evolved, and its sequels, Halo 2, Halo 3, and its prequel, Halo: Reach, with this season including Halo 4.
The series is published by Rooster Teeth Productions, originally available for download per episode at their site and later released on DVD. Praised for its originality, the series has won a total of four awards from the Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences. Although mainly a satirical and absurdist comedy, the show often touches on deeper philosophy about the meaning of war when it comes down to individual soldiers; as well as other more serious themes such as human morals in the face of extinction and the humanity of artificial intelligence. The characters occasionally question the validity of their mission and whether or not it accomplishes anything, a common theme in commentary about the ethics of war.
- Main article: List of characters in Red vs. Blue
The show's cast divides into four segments: the Red Army, the Blue Army, the Freelancer program, and unaffiliated parties that interact with the core cast. Despite the enmity the Red and Blue Team members are supposed to harbor for one another, this usually does not apply personally to the enemy soldiers, who often engage in one-on-one conversation.
Plot SummaryEdit
The Blood Gulch ChroniclesEdit
Season 1Edit
- Main article: Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles (Season 1)
The Blood Gulch Chronicles begins with the introduction of two rookies on the Red and Blue teams, also getting a jeep and a tank respectively. The Red recruit, Donut, is sent on a fool's errand by his fellow soldiers, only to accidentally steal the enemy flag when he believed it to be the store (and the Blue rookie Caboose believing Donut to be the General foretold in the fool's errand of his own). The weeks of reconnaissance and intelligence gathering breaks down into chaos and (poorly constructed) offenses.
Season 2Edit
- Main article: Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles (Season 2)
Several months after the first season, a medical officer arrives to check on the wounded soldier Blue team reported. He had come months afterward, so by the time he got there, the wounded soldier (Tex) had already died. Almost immediately after his arrival the Red team attacks. Red team salvages their failed attack by getting Doc as an exchange for Blue team's surrender (although he was ordered to go to Red team anyway). Doc's added involvement in the canyon, combined with a rampant AI infecting Caboose will force the two opposing teams to do the unthinkable.
Season 3Edit
- Main article: Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles (Season 3)
The Reds and Blues believe to have found themselves in the future. They have stumbled upon a prophecy which says a blue being will destroy a large 'temple'. They are trying to defend from an attack from O'Malley when this 'Great Destroyer' arrives.
Season 4Edit
- Main article: Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles (Season 4)
Following a distress signal back to Blood Gulch, the Red team experiences a falling out with one of their soldiers. Tucker, Tex, Caboose, and the alien go on quest to save the alien's race. Tex does not return to Blood Gulch with the rest of Blue team, and Tucker becomes seriously ill.
Out of MindEdit
- Main article: Red vs Blue: Out of Mind
Out of Mind is a mini-series that took place in-between Season 4 and Season 5. It is a narrative from Tex's point of view, told in a much more serious tone. Its events precede both Season 5 and Recovery One.
Season 5Edit
- Main article: Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles (Season 5)
A ship from Earth has crash-landed in the middle of the canyon, bringing a new soldier. Red team experiences a major crisis in their chain of command and Blue team welcomes a new addition to the family. Church tries to stop O'Malley once and for all.
The series finale was distributed with three alternate endings; the ending which was shown to a viewer depended on which link in Burnie's post they followed to watch the episode. An additional three endings were included in the special features of the Season 5 DVD.
Recollections TrilogyEdit
Recovery OneEdit
- Main article: Red vs Blue: Recovery One
Recovery One was a Red vs Blue miniseries distributed via Xbox Live and the internet that takes place after Out of Mind as well as before and during Season 5. Its plot revolves around Agent Washington, also known as Recovery One, who is a Freelancer like Tex, Wyoming, and York. Washington's job is to recover all Freelancer AI constructs of freelancers killed in action.
- Main article: Red vs Blue: Reconstruction
Reconstruction is the direct sequel to the Blood Gulch Chronicles, exploring the causality of events from both The Blood Gulch Chronicles and Recovery One. It continues to follow Recovery Agent Washington's journey tracking down a mysterious enemy called the Meta, who is killing Freelancers and taking their armor enhancements and AIs. First, Wash has to find the people with the knowledge and experience to help him; the former occupants of Blood Gulch. With Project Freelancer under government investigation, Washington soon begins to realize what Church really is, and the nature of his role in the project.
- Main article: Red vs. Blue: Relocated
Relocated is a 4-part mini-series following the Red Team, now on Valhalla, struggling to do the usual nothing, and Caboose's strange action's at Blue Base drawing further attention to himself.
- Main article: Red vs. Blue: Recreation
Recreation is a direct sequel to Reconstruction. As the Reds continue to try and figure out what Caboose is up to and wake up a comatose Donut, Caboose continues trying to make a new best friend. He finds the Reds holo-room, with help from Donut, and Epsilon tells him about Tucker and a mysterious energy reading in the desert. Grif and Sarge agree to come, and they meet a strange man at the desert. The stranger claims to be a member of a team working with aliens to uncover a relic for the military. Tucker returns and informs Caboose, Grif, and Sarge that his team was killed and the rest of the group were impostors planning to sell the relic to the highest bidder. Tucker was sent along with Junior (apparently alive and well yet still unseen in the new series) where they acted as ambassadors along with the official military teams searching for the relic because "They were sorta in between..." It appears Wash lived through the events of Reconstructions as well. Now imprisoned by the military, Wash decides to bargain the location of Epsilon for his freedom. Knowing Wash, he probably has much deeper plans, and the Meta pays an unexpected visit to the remaining members of red team in Valhalla...
- Main article: Red vs. Blue: Revelation
Revelation is a direct sequel to Red vs. Blue Recreation. The first episode made its debut April 1, 2010. Agent Washington and the Meta have teamed up to find the missing Epsilon AI, Caboose and Epsilon explore an old Freelancer base in search of a familiar frenemy, and the Reds work to get the Blues back into Command's database so they can "defeat them" legitimately. In a cruel twist, it is revealed both Red and Blue teams have been culled from the worst of the UNSC to act as training fodder for project Freelancer (retconning several outlandish situations the team has dealt with over the years as mere simulation stimuli). With Wash and the Meta closing in, Tex sets an ambush to discover the purpose of her creation.
After a vicious battle, Tex is "captured" by the Meta in an AI storage unit, betraying his partner Wash and leaving him badly wounded. Answering the question of, "why are we here?" Sarge, Tucker, Griff and Simmons fight the re-powered Meta head on. Taking advantage of each of their strengths, the teams are able to send Meta plummeting to his death. During the fight, the memory storage unit containing Tex was damaged. Church enters the device to try to save Tex... and fails to emerge before the machine shuts down. The UNSC later secured the battle site, congratulating the "simulation" troopers on their improbable victory. The teams are granted the use of their old bases as a reward. Wash, grateful to the teams for saving his life and giving him a second chance, joins the Blues as their new leader. Inside the storage unit, Church searches for Tex in a virtual reality recreation of Blood Gulch, content to continue living within a good memory.
Project FreelancerEdit
Season 9Edit
- Main article: Season 9
The ninth season of Red VS Blue has two independent plots. One is in machinima style following Epsilon Church after the finale of Revelation and the other is entirely CGI-rendered and chronologically preceding the Blood Gulch Chronicles following the events of Project Freelancer, several years in the past. Throughout the season, the Freelancers compete to prove their worth to the project's Director by engaging in high risk training and combat missions against UNSC Insurrectionists. In the season's conclusion, Church is rescued from Epsilon by the previously thought deceased Agent Carolina. Leading the Red and Blue teams, she declares her intention to hunt down the mysterious "Director" of Project Freelancer and kill him.
Season 10Edit
- Main article: Season 10
Following the format of season 9, season 10 has two separate plots. The machinima version following Agent Carolina with the reds and the blues searching for "the Director". And the CGI version following the Freelancers battling the insurgents,with Agent Connecticut (CT) having betrayed the team.
Untitled SagaEdit
Season 11Edit
- Main article: Season 11
After being pardoned by the UNSC, the Reds and Blues are to be transported back home to Blood Gulch on a large ship; however, an accident (or multiple) causes the ship to crash on an unknown planet, where they set up the new bases seen in the Season 10 finale and return to fighting each other. Tensions arise between the Red and Blue teams as Caboose is accidently promoted team leader and Donut, with Doc, are the supposed rescue team. Atop a nearby cliff, an unknown soldier is seen watching the group through the scope of a Sniper Rifle. He remarks the situation as unfortunate before cloaking.
Public Service AnnouncementsEdit
- RvB has made several PSAs over the years, several on holidays, others being based on Halo celebration days like Bungie Day or an anniversary. Some are based as advice like arguments and counter-arguments and few on safety like their fire safety PSA or even the movie based PSA on how to act in a movie theater, one even based on Zombies. RvB has also done a PSA, based off the Halo: Global Championship.
Game PreviewsEdit
- Rooster Teeth has done miniseries with the characters previewing Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach
- The episode for Halo 3: ODST was to show the limited edition addon for ODST Firefight, Sgt. Johnson, playable character.
- Halo Reach episodes were for pre-order and contests when Halo Reach was available for pre-order.
- Two special episodes of Red vs. Blue showed the characters in the Halo 4 engine. This was to promote the reveal of the release date for Halo 4. One video was made for US audiences and the other was made for international audiences.
Development HistoryEdit
Production Edit
The writing process for the series has changed over time. Early in season 1, Burns wrote the episode scripts from week to week, with what appeared to be minimal planning in advance; major plot events seemed to have been conceived shortly before they were filmed.[1] For the second season, Matt Hullum became a main writer.[2] A rough plot outline is now written before a season begins, although the actual content of an individual episode is still decided on a more short-term basis.[3] However, contradictory to this, Burnie claims that the major plot ideas were decided by episode 6, the episodes just didn't contain much information - they originally went for comedy rather than depth. Because Red vs. Blue is loosely based on the Halo universe, Rooster Teeth encountered some difficulties when trying to synchronize events in the series with the release of Halo 2.
Aside from a few scenes created using Marathon Infinity, Marathon 2, and the PC version of Halo, Red vs. Blue is mostly filmed with interconnected Xbox consoles. As the series title suggests, the videos are largely set in the Halo map Blood Gulch and its Halo 2 counterpart, Coagulation. However, some episodes have been filmed on other maps, including Sidewinder from Halo and Zanzibar from Halo 2. Within a multiplayer game session, the people controlling the avatars "puppet" their characters, moving them around, firing weapons, and performing other actions as dictated by the script, and in synchronization with the episode's dialogue, which is recorded ahead of time.
The "camera" is simply another player, whose first-person perspective is recorded raw to a computer. As the recording occurs within the game, a few different bugs and post-production techniques have been exploited in order to achieve desired visual effects. In particular, Adobe Premiere Pro is used to edit the audio and video together, impose letterboxing to hide the camera player's head-up display, add the titles and fade-to-black screens, and create some visual effects that cannot be accomplished in-game.[4]
Impact on Machinima Edit
Red vs. Blue is widely credited with attracting public attention to machinima. Although examples had existed since the 1990s, Clive Thompson credits Red vs. Blue as "the first to break out of the underground".[5] Tavares, Gil, and Roque call it machinima's "first big success".[6] Thompson notes that "Microsoft has been so strangely solicitous that when it was developing the sequel to Halo last year, the designers actually inserted a special command — a joystick button that makes a soldier lower his weapon — designed solely to make it easier for Rooster Teeth to do dialogue." The series has inspired other machinima productions, including The Codex, Fire Team Charlie, and This Spartan Life.[7]
Trivia Edit
- Red vs. Blue, was originally intended to last only six installments, but its popularity led to the production of 100 episodes of The Blood Gulch Chronicles, several stand-alone special videos, three miniseries, another three full-length series and another full length series like Blood Gulch, which will be situated in Forge World; mainly Hemorrhage.
- Some of the voice actors from Red vs Blue were featured in the level Crow's Nest in Halo 3, as two Marines arguing over a password. The voices vary depending on difficulty. This indicates the overwhelming popularity of the series, even among Bungie and Microsoft. For more information, see Password-Lacking Marine.
- Red vs. Blue was featured on Discovery Channel's documentary, Rise of the Video Game, which included an interview with Red vs. Blue's creator and original cast.
- The popular Double EXP Weekend game type "Grifball" is based on Red vs Blue, specifically episode 59.
- Rooster Teeth made two Red vs Blue PSA (Public service announcements) videos for Xbox Live's partnership with Rock the Vote in late-summer 2008, for the United States Presidential election.
- On Halo 2's multiplayer map Turf, two easter eggs can be found. They are both found on vending machines - one in the warehouse, and another near the makeshift camp. One has the silhouette of a rooster, and the other of teeth. This is homage to Rooster Teeth.
- The Halo 3 Mythic map Sandbox features a full sized Grifball court.
- In Halo: Reach it is possible to have a Militia/Marine NPC whose name is "PVT G. Ramsey", with a service tag that reads: "GEOF". This is a reference to Geoff Ramsey, the voice actor of Grif in the popular web series, Red vs Blue. Other cast members appear as well, such as PVT M. Hullum (Sarge, Doc, O'Malley, Wyoming), PVT B. Burns (Church, Lopez, Vic (Jr.), Red Zealot) and PVT J. Heyman (Caboose).
- Ironically, Grif in the Red vs Blue PSA "Deja View" is colored a shade of yellow, despite him constantly claiming that his is orange.
- In a PSA for Season 9, Caboose visits the campaign of Halo: Reach, after being mistaken for Noble Six.
- Nightmare Armor was mentioned in the audio commentary of Season 2.
- In Halo 3, if a player were to recreate each of the Red and Blue Teams' members, they would need various shades of red and blue as colors and different helmets.
- For Sarge, one would need everything default and red as their two color choices.
- For Grif, everything default and orange as their two color choices.
- For Donut, everything default and pink as their two color choices.
- For Simmons, everything default and maroon as their two color choices.
- For Church, everything default and cobalt as their two color choices (White as their two color choices if they want to recreate Church as a ghost).
- For Caboose, Mark V helmet, everything else default and blue as their two color choices (Default helmet if they want to recreate Caboose in the Halo 2 engine).
- For Tucker, everything default and teal or aqua as their two color choices, he was worn both (Steel as their two color choices if they want to recreate Tucker after he exits the teleporter).
- For Washington, everything default and cobalt as their primary color and yellow as their secondary (Steel as their primary color if they want to recreate Wash when he was in the Freelancer Program).
- In Halo: Reach, the options are basically the same, but there are some changes.
- For Sarge, one would need Mark VI helmet, default or FJ/PARA shoulders, Gold visor color and red as their two color choices.
- For Grif, everything the same as Sarge, except their two color choices would be orange.
- For Donut, everything the same as Sarge, except their two color choices would be pink.
- For Simmons, everything the same as Sarge, except their two color choices would be maroon.
- For Church, everything the same as Sarge, except their two color choices would be cobalt.
- For Caboose, everything the same as Sarge, except their helmet would be Mark V and their two color choices would be blue.
- For Tucker, everything the same as Sarge, except their two color choices would be teal or aqua, he has worn both.
- In Halo 4, there are some changes to the character.
- For all the characters, the armor colors are the same except they use the Mark VI armor variant, with a stalker chestplate.
- In Halo: Reach, the options are basically the same, but there are some changes.
- On Bungie.net, look at a service record with the Flag Kill medal, scroll over the flag symbol and it will say "It's right next to the headlight fluid". This is a reference to episodes 3 and 4 of Blood Gulch Chronicles where the new recruit, Donut is sent on a fool's errand to fetch "headlight fluid" and "elbow grease". Instead, he mistakenly goes to Blue Base and takes their flag.
- There is a rare line on the level Outskirts, in Halo 2, where when under attack, a marine will yell "I'll pull your skull right out of your head and beat you to death with it!" This is a reference to a line in season 1 episode 10, where Church tells Tucker and Caboose a story that involved Tex beating a marine, Jimmy, to death with his own skull. This was followed by a "That doesn't seem physically possible" by Tucker.
- In episode 100 of The Blood Gulch Chronicles, when Tex takes off in the Pelican, the word "Marathon" is partially obscured on the underside. This is an obvious reference to Bungie's previous game series, Marathon, in appreciation from Rooster Teeth.
- There is a reference to Red vs Blue in Gears of War. Within the game there is an achievement called "Is It a Spider?". To obtain it, you are required to kill 100 enemies in ranked matches with a grenade tag, referencing episodes 11 and 57.
- In the Red vs Blue: ODST episodes Church says that he heard a rumor that Sgt. Maj. Johnson can't be killed. This is an obvious reference to how in the games he is a plot critical character and is invincible. Church also heard Johnson could shoot lasers from his eyes, though did not believe the rumor. This ended badly for him.
- If one were to look closely at the tires of a Warthog, the word "Puma" can be seen at the top/bottom. This is a reference to episode 2 when Grif thinks the Warthog looks more like a Puma.
- In the Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare DLC, a Chupacabra can be found and killed for an achievement called 'Chupathingy'. This is another reference to Season 1 Episode 2.
Running GagsEdit
- As a running gag in The Blood Gulch Chronicles, whenever a character dies, the last words they say are "Hurk! Blah...". A couple of exceptions are the Grunts from episodes 39 and 40, and an alternate ending to episode 100, in which the phrase "Son of a bitch!" is substituted.
- When either Grif or Simmons yells "Shotgun!", the other will yell "Shotgun!" right after, only to say "fuck!" when they realize they're too late. If you have the IWHBYD Skull on and you're playing Tsavo Highway, two Marines will mimic this, substituting "fuck!" with "damn".
- Caboose team-killed Church, though Caboose would sometimes randomly blame Tucker. In an episode of Reconstruction, Agent Washington even says that command has a shortcut on the keyboard for Caboose's team killing, as Caboose said it, Ctrl F U.
- When red team tricks someone and steals something by surprise, they would say "Yoink!" This was even made into a medal in Halo: Reach. When ever someone is performing an assassination and their target dies, whoever killed him gets the medal "Yoink!"
- Most of the character names can be found in Halo: Combat Evolved's Temporary Profile feature. Out of the randomly generated names, Caboose, Church, Donut, Simmons, and Doc are commonly found. It is possible Rooster Teeth named their characters using this feature. This feature is continued in Halo 3, with names like Caboose and Donut showing up as temporary profiles.
- Church always carries around a Sniper Rifle, and yet he is utterly incapable of hitting anything with it, even when the target is standing still. This is also shown in Reconstruction when he fails to hit an enemy at point blank range with an entire magazine of pistol ammo. However, he is shown in one episode to be a crack shot when shooting allies, hitting Caboose in the foot from several yards away with the pistol. For some reason, he can't kill at close range. The Rocket Launcher is an exception to this, as shown in Reconstruction.
- Whenever a character is blown up or launched by an explosion, any characters nearby often exclaim "Son of a bitch!" in response. Lopez has even participated in this gag, his variant being "Madre de dios!" or "Mother of God!", which was still subtitled as meaning "son of a bitch."
- Characters will sometimes state that something "doesn't seem physically possible". Examples include when Private Jimmy is bashed to death with his own skull, when Grif discovers the makeshift surgery that has been performed on him, when Tex manages to flip Sheila, and when Church got his old body back and Tex beats him with the Monitor, his old "body".
- Tucker never gets to use a Sniper Rifle except in episodes 94, 98 and 99.
- A big running gag and catch-phrase in Red vs Blue is "Why are we here?" this saying is used in the first episode of season one and the last episode of that season, as well as the last episode of Season Five and Episode 18 of Revelation. usually when someone says it, the person they say it to will say something big and meaningful and the other will say that they just meant something much less important. At the end of season one Simmons says it to Grif and he cuts him off saying he doesn't, and in Revelation 18, Sarge asks if they ever wonder why they're here, meaning why they're still in the army unit. Another time 2 soldiers were talking in Season 10 and asked "Why are we here?" before behind scared to death from the freelancers.
- Whenever Tucker hears anything perverted, he will say "Bow Chicka Bow Wow."
- Sarge puts down Grif on many occasions, there are only a few episodes that he doesn't. One in particular is an episode in season five when he asks Simmons, Donut, and Grif what is that when he's looking at a computer screen. He congratulates Simmons and Donut but then when Grif gets in Sarge says "another incredible observation from the stating the obvious department, thanks for nothing numb nuts."
- When Caboose angers Church, mostly through friendly fire, he quickly yells "Tucker did it!"
- Caboose is an extremely dangerous character to be around when it comes to his teammates. For instance, in an early episode of Reconstruction, he ends killing one of his new team's members, Jones, when Jones was attempting to bring Caboose out of the prison cell to see Agent Washington. Another episode of Reconstruction featured another Freelancer, Agent South (Dakota). When Washington orders Church to not allow her to get away, Church simply turns to Caboose and says "Hey Caboose, that lady is on our side. You should help her." Immediately, Caboose yells out "Okay!" and shoots her right away. He turns back to Church and says "Um, she kind of got in the way when I was helping her."
- In Season 6, Caboose attempts to throw a Spike Grenade but is extremely unsuccessful; Wash responds by saying, "That was the worst throw...ever. Of all time." The "Of All Time" gag has since been used in several ways: in the Season 8 finale when Wash almost fell of a cliff and was narrowly saved by Doc ("That was the second worst throw...ever. Of all time."), by Tucker and Caboose in Season 10 ("Man, you're like the worst wingman ever!" "Of all time."), and in the tagline for Season 10 ("The Biggest Season Ever. Of All Time."), among others.

text: "The "love" necklace displays an entire year of tweets by a person. The lengths of the beads indicate the number of tweets in a month. The shorter lengths indicate how often she used the word "love" that month. I can do the same for any word. Along the sides of every other bead you'll see a single laser-etched tweet for that period. They're visible if you hold up the beads to the light, and are partially public, partially private. I like to think of them as little reminders, memories, almost like a 21st Century locket."

David Herron is a blogger, software engineer, electric vehicle enthusiast, and energy healer.
Pondering the "get rich quick by blogging" type book I just reviewed, I came up with this thought - Those of us who make a living "online" are earning our living by filling the Internet with more content.
I'm always interested in improving my understanding of how to make a living from writing.
Chromebooks are now being joined by Chromebox's, and we should start to wonder whether Chrome devices will represent a whole new wave of computing platforms. That is, will Chrome devices take a place alongside Windows PC's, Mac's and Android/iOS mobile devices as a major computing platform? I'm typing this on a Chromebook and have to say the experience is pretty good, enough that I haven't used my Macbook Pro for several days where previously I'd used it daily.
My last blog post concerned how to install Skype and other applications on a Chromebook. The task is straight-forward and I believe the blog post is informative - but it generated some controversy. The controversy wasn't over the methodology, but why would I want to do that in the first place? Aren't Hangout's sufficient to replace Skype?
Chromebooks offer respite from antivirus software hassles, system maintenance hassles, and more. The idea is that with the Chrome web browser as the only user interface, people can compute in safety. But what about the whole slew of existing software that runs outside web browsers - Skype being just one example. What about video or audio editing? What about traditional word processors or spreadsheet applications? None of those run inside a web browser. Yet.
According to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a primary mastermind behind the Sept 11, 2001 attacks, the US War on Terror is based on lies. Back in 2001, Pres. George W. Bush told us that al Qaeda had attacked us because they hate our freedoms. Instead, they attacked the US because the US is occupying the Middle East, because the US needs to be there to ensure the flow of fossil oil that drives our machines, because the US dedicated itself to a fossil-fuel-driven lifestyle back in the 1940's and 1950's.
This week a federal appeals court overturned the FCC's ability to ensure open access to all websites. The details of what this means may get lost in the translation, but the image on the right encapsulates the problem very well. Now, with this ruling, Internet Service Providers will be able to block websites on a case-by-case basis for purely business reasons, and will be able to create a menu of addon "services" that we now enjoy for free.
We love our iPhone or iPad, they're beautiful machines, but try to do something Apple thinks you shouldn't do and you run into a brick wall. We live in a walled garden designed by Apple. It's a very pretty walled garden, but it can be frustrating at times. The example today is the desire to transfer those videos you own outright from your computer to your iOS device. Apple's preferred method to transfer stuff to an iOS device (iPhone, iPad) is through iTunes. The iOS devices are not, technically speaking, cloud computing devices, because Apple designed them to tether to iTunes.
We're moving towards Web3.0 which is supposedly about rich markup in web pages. The idea is to help sites like Google or Facebook to know more about your content, so the content can be presented better in search engine results or items shared on social networks. Are you as frustrated by trying to get good quality share's into Facebook or Twitter as I am? Then you need to learn about implementing these features in your website software.
Fortunately it's pretty straightforward to accomplish. The basic idea is to apply straight-forward web markup in specific, defined, ways.
Mobile internet devices like smart cellphones or tablets are taking the computing world by storm.

Association ou organisation à but non lucratif
Dernière mise à jour : 26 oct. 2011 20:25:58
Founded in 1991 as a not-for-profit cultural organization with the belief that art is essential to human development, education and culture, Urban Arts Partnership (formerly known as Working Playground) provides arts education and integration programs to underserved schools and communities throughout New York City. Our mission is to strengthen public schools by providing arts-based solutions to urban educational issues.
For over 16 years, Working Playground's community-based in-school and after-school programs have taught New York City's youth to develop the creative and analytic impulses that serve them as academic achievers, budding professionals, and healthy, empowered citizens through a range of quality arts-based projects designed to empower participating youth and their communities. The organization has honed its original methodology for K-12 arts instruction and academic integration through model programs connected to today's issues and concerns, utilizing a dynamic range of art forms, including theater, playwriting, animated video production, film, fashion, music, instrument-building, product design, dance, poetry and visual arts. From poetry slams to film festivals, from "world-changing photographs" to original recordings of compositions created on electric guitars they build themselves, Working Playground students have the opportunity to tap their creative and intellectual potential and imagine a higher standard of success for themselves.
The organization has specialized in developing citizen artists among particularly disadvantaged communities, including ELL (English Language Learners) youth, the fastest-growing group of students in NYC public schools, as well as SWD (Students With Disabilities) youth, all in keeping with the current and growing needs of our city's educational and social landscape. Independent evaluations by agencies including Human Services Evaluation and Development Associates and the Center for Arts Education have revealed programs to have a significant impact on student learning, social attitudes, connection with their Working Playground mentor, and overall improved capacity for positively engaging in their community's life.
Dedicated to innovating education and catalyzing youth learning, Working Playground's programs and community-bolstering events have garnered the attention of The New York Times, Time Magazine, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, The Village Voice, Metro, ABC News, NBC News, and various online websites.
In 16 years of dedicated service to New York City, we have reached more than 50,000 students, their teachers and their parents in over 250 New York City public schools.
This 2007-08 school year, the organization is serving 45 schools in Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan and Queens, reaching more than 10,000 students.
Our most recently audited financial statements indicate that Working Playground spends an impressive 81% of its operating budget directly on programs.

I accidentally removed smart sound for elements 10. Can I just reinstall this portion of the program or do I have to uninstall elements 10 and then reinstall the entire program?
Welcome to the forum.
I would first try a Repair Install, to see if that repairs SmartSound.
Just a thought here, but as the SmartSound module in PrE 10 is the Sonicfire Pro Express-Tracks program, which is free from SmartSound, I wonder if you could download that, and install it into the same folder?
Back before SmartSound moved to Sonicfire Pro (was a separate, stand-alone program for many versions), and the module used in Premiere (both Pro and Elements) was the SmartSound QuickTracks plug-in, one could just install that, and it would find and link to Premiere. Not sure if it's that simple nowadays.
I've used SmartSound T/S for years, and they have always been very good and quick to respond. I would contact them too, as they might be able to help you get SmartSound going again.
Good luck, and wish that I had some pat answers for you.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice announces the intention of the FHWA to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to renew its clearance of the currently approved information collection identified below under Supplementary Information. This information collection allows registered motor carriers, property brokers, and freight forwarders a means of meeting process agent requirements. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 3, 1998. ADDRESSES: All signed, written comments should refer to the docket number that appears in the heading of this document and must be submitted to the Docket Clerk, U.S. DOT Dockets, Room PL-401, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001. All comments received will be available for examination at the above address between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. Those desiring notification of receipt of comments must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope or postcard. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Marian Lee, Office of Motor Carrier Information Analysis, (202) 358-7051, Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. Office hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Designation of Agents, Motor Carriers, and Brokers. OMB Number: 2125-0567. Background The Secretary of Transportation is authorized to register for-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface freight forwarders under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13903, and property brokers under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13904. These persons may conduct transportation services only if they are registered pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 13901. The Secretary has delegated authority pertaining to these registrations to the FHWA. Registered motor carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders must designate (1) an agent on whom service of notices in proceedings before the Secretary may be made (49 U.S.C. 13303); and (2) for every state in which they operate, agents on whom process issued by a court may be served in actions brought against the registered transportation entity (49 U.S.C. 13304).
