Apr 6, 2011UNBELIEVABLE INPUT LAG. Believe it or not, people, this is a driving game with broken driving. Don't buy this game, until EA fixes the incredible input lag. You can easily find videos of this on youtube. What were the game "journalists" doing? Which incompetent journalism school dropouts wrote these "professional" reviews and gave this turkey an 85?

Mar 30, 2011even with it's shallow presentation, where shift 2 truly excels is in its driving experience. albeit the steep learning curve will ward off casual racers from finding out what really makes shift 2 stand out, dont be fooled. Need for Speed is FINALLY back.

Apr 4, 2011This game really did give me the feeling that i'm really in the car
I don't know why did people say that the night is much worse than HP
Of course! What do you want on the track? Some fabulous neon light?
This is a brand new game for me
It's great
If you want fog or stuff like that
GO play GT5
I'm enjoying what I have now here -
Apr 18, 2011Surprisingly very nicely done racing game with realistic feelings. not simulation at all but its a fun to drive these expensive cars (elite mod with helmet camera+steering wheel) and sounds are just brilliant ! very similarly like a grid game. good job ! ! ! sry for my english.. :)
Apr 20, 2011
Mar 30, 2011Not up to standards set by previous games in the series. What is worse, we lose LAN support and instead get the same POS facebook clone that came with Hot Pursuit. Enough social BS, EA, we want good games.
Last EA game I buy, especially since offending moderators in their forums with bad words like d*v*l will now ban you from your own games. -

May 20, 2011This game has no captions/subtitles, therefore not suitable for deaf/hearing impaired players. I will NOT purchase any games that show disregard for disabled players. Anyway gameplay is similar to NFS:Shift 1. But if you can run NFS:Shift 1, then you can run this.

Apr 6, 2011This game fills a niche nicely. The wheel/controller support needs some work, but overall the game is still very playable. The AI leans a bit too far on the aggressive side and in a real race would get black flagged.
Graphics look great. Sound is spot on. The tracks are all there, especially for GT races. Oh yeah it has Mt Panorama, Bathurst, in there. :) -

Apr 25, 2011Pretty much what WillKIll said. Tried to sell itself as more sim than arcade but ends up being neither...good driving isn't rewarded but neither is arcade style. Also some serious issues with stuttering on this system that weren't present in Shift 1.
May 6, 2011
May 13, 2011I really tried to like Shift 2. I've been a Need for Speed fan since the beginning of the IP when I was learning to tie my shoes. I was optimistic when I picked up this game; however, my optimism soon turned into aggravation as I played Shift 2. The cut scenes canâ

Nov 14, 2011With G27 Shift 2 do somehow really feels like real thing, and totally enjoyable. The graphic setting is a total console port, but eventually you can tweak it on your own, and it looks way better than GT5. Besides that I have nothing to say about Shift 2, it's simply a great fun racer (or simulation) for people who want to have a taste of some real racing.

May 22, 2011Very good racing game. I'm really surprised that you can do anything more on the genre! Pluses: menu design, customization of racing style, head movement on corners, good game quality all around, good music
Minuses: hard to engage in this game for longer then an hour or two... not enough diversity and motivation I think -
Dec 26, 2011
Dec 9, 2011The only thing that kills this game is driving mechanics, they are just horrible, the cars are absolutely uncontrollable, it's almost impossible to beat this game even on easy difficulty! I dropped this game half way through cause I just couldn't struggle with this anymore!

Nov 22, 2012After getting used with driving in this game you get to like it. It isn't easy, but if you spend the time it gets rewarding.
I scored it 7 due to limited tuning options. There is a lot in there, but not as far as I would like to see. Any tuning you do is not that obvious unless you spend a lot of time for EVERY circuit and EVERY car.... A bit boring.
And the game should have more cars. -
Oct 16, 2011
Aug 27, 2011Poor controls,Poor graphics as compared to shift 1.I play all games high difficulty level but in this game i am playing with novice mode andeven cannot overtake a single car when i have spinned away by mistake.

Sep 3, 2012This game may be the best racing game I have ever played. It's realistic, and really fun. The best NFS to date. This game includes a great class of cars, and terrific, exciting races. SIngleplayer was great, but multiplayer was simply fantastic. The game may be hard sometimes, bu It's really challenging. 92 out of 100
Oct 27, 2012The graphics are sharp and the gameplay is awesome this is one of the best need for speed games ever. The music rocks and i also like the selection of cars.
Nov 1, 2011This game is very hard to rate.
As a simulator, a asume that it should be really good, but as a casual game it's terrible.
Aweful gameplay if compared with other NFS versions, but thats problaby something about the real simulator features.
Well, guess that thats not what I was spectating to see in a race game. -
Nov 13, 2011
Jul 9, 2013What the hell happened to this game. Control problems, wrong and stupid driving physic, kamikaze A.I., FPS drops AND STUPID HELMET CAM. Don't buy this crap.
Jul 14, 2013
Sep 1, 2012Being a racing game fan, I tried this game as soon as it was released. I was absolutely horrified by the bad steering and the lack luster graphics. Stay away if you want to have a good time.
Feb 18, 2014I've seen some user reviews, they complain of input lag, which I have not encountered. I played the game with Saitek R660 Force Feedback wheel and my overall experience was pleasant, the tilted view when approaching the corners feels like I'm actually there. This is not the best racing game out there, but it's a pretty damn solid one.
Jan 12, 2013
Feb 23, 2013This is best need for speed since high stakes. Awesome simulator, feels really realistic with wheel. If you can drive well, you will finish race without crashing in the wall 1000 times like it was in previous NFS games. Many different and fun cars. Perfect graphics.
May 7, 2013Although there are better racing games to get for your money, this game is still good. I bought it for 5 bucks on a Steam sale and I feel like i got a good deal. The biggest problem is its horrendous key board controls. Do not buy this game unless you won a racing wheel. I got lucky on this one as i was already planning on getting one. So if you have a console and want this game, buy it on that.
May 17, 2013
Oct 9, 2013Horrible game. Cars are basically uncontrollable. I am using a Thrustmaster Ferarri GT wheel, and in spite of minor tweaking, the game is more like an ice racing game than anything else. Just plain terrible, please do not buy this game.
Nov 25, 2013This is a "sexy" simulation, that's not a game for young gamers, better than old Race07, GTR and Rfactor, I use a g25 controller, it's really realistic, it's necessary to set some parameters (I set sensitivity to 100%), I invert some default settings.
This game is for passionated drivers, not for "trackmania" gamers -
Dec 27, 2013
Jun 9, 2011As PC's only alternative to GT5, Shift 2 is satisfactory at best. But true racing enthusiasts will need to go elsewhere to really satisfy their...need for speed. [July 2011, p.74]
May 22, 2011NFS series is back where we want it to be. Perfect graphics, enhanced driving model and the view from the cockpit are the features you will Shift 2 piously worship. [Issue#203]
May 11, 2011Overall, Shift 2 Unleashed is a fantastic driving game that should satisfy fans on either side of the arcade/simulation spectrum. The game may not be as sheer fun as Hot Pursuit was only six months ago, but could easily occupy a cherished spot on your shelf right next to it.

Pianist, organist and composer, Christopher Howell was born in London in 1953. He began to study the piano at the age of nine and gave his first solo recital in 1971, while still at school. His teachers during this time included Alexander Kelly and Else Cross, both professors at the Royal Academy of Music.
There followed a period at Edinburgh University where his piano teacher was Colin Kingsley. Other tutors included Kenneth Leighton and John Clapham. During this period he performed regularly as soloist and in chamber groups and also formed and conducted a small choir, with which he presented music by Stanford and Dufay.
In 1975 he obtained a scholarship to study in Milan with the celebrated Hungarian teacher Ilonka Deckers-Küszler. He is now settled in Italy.
As a composer he conducted a Psalm setting of his own at the age of 14 and has recently become active again after a long hiatus. He frequently writes pieces for the musicians with whom he collaborates. He works regularly in Italy with singers and instrumentalists.
While performing a wide range of standard repertoire, Christopher Howell has made a particular study of the British repertoire. He has recorded works by Sterndale Bennett, Bache, Stanford and Scott for Swiss-Italian Radio in Lugano, a CD of music by Cyril Scott (for Tremula) and another dedicated to Harold Craxton, which includes songs (sung by Caroline Goodwin, soprano, and James McOran Campbell, baritone) and cello pieces (with Alison Moncrieff Kelly) as well as solo works. This disc was commissioned by the Craxton family. He has also written the article on Craxton for the forthcoming new edition of the New Dictionary of National Biography. A CD containing the two cello sonatas and "Ballata" by Stanford, also with Alison Moncrieff Kelly, will be shortly released by Meridian.
An avid devourer of records, record reviews and the record scene generally since his early teens, Christopher Howell has been enjoying his new "hobby" of record reviewing since he began writing for the site a few years ago.

Chill Tech Visor
Never much of a visor guy....but then...
So I've never been much of a visor guy (I have several TB Caps) but then I saw this visor on the website, read the reviews and ordered one.
Feels great, fits perfectly and very stylish.
The coconut color is unique...not white....not tan....but coconut!
If you are a "visor guy" you will want one...if you're not.....you will be pleasantly surprised how much you like it and how good it looks.
I was.
February 18, 2014
great visor
Sporty visor and well put together. Great protection for outdoor activities.
February 1, 2014
Beautifully crafted but not enough head band for tall guy
The visor was beautifully crafted but I'm 6'4" tall (I don't have a particularly big head.) The headband is just being held together by about a half inch of Velcro in the back. I'm waiting for the Velcro to let loose and the visor to fall off. I don't normally have this problem unless I'm buying a real cheap visor. I must admit its a beautiful looking visor and of top quality.
December 31, 2013
Who would have thought?
Who would have thought that a visor could warrant a review...this is a great visor. Soft and perfect for summer activities. I go the red one and my only (small font) gripe is that the underside of the bill is white...right where you'd put your fingers to take the visor off, thus it having the possibility of getting dirty. Minor though.
July 11, 2013
Poor quality
First time this got wet while I was beach side in Mexico, it sorta fell apart. It also got dirty very quickly and I tried to wash it so now it's toast.
July 9, 2013
Unfortunately it was too small
My husband ordered this visor in the blue. It is a great looking visor, but was too small. He is 6'3" and does wear a large size cap. Even though it is adjustable, this visor just wasn't large enough to fit comfortably, so it had to be returned.
July 8, 2013
Great Visor
This was a gift for my son who loves these visors. He is very pleased.
June 2, 2013
Awesome Visor for any first time users.
This is a first for me as I'm a ball cap guy. But this visor works great and is true to size. Keeps the sun off of your face but allows plenty of sunshine on your scalp. I've worn it to the beach, golfing and on a few gorgeous drives through the island of Maui. Great product for anyone....

If you value a drivetrain that shifts consistently and a chain that won't rattle on rough terrain, look no further than the Shimano XTR M985 Shadow Plus rear derailleur. The revolutionary Shadow Plus switch adds tension to the derailleur pulley spring to nearly eliminate chain slap and ghost shifting. When the Shadow Plus switch is in the 'off' position, the derailleur reacts like any other derailleur with a spring loaded lower pulley cage. However, when the switch is in the 'on' position, the pulley cage spring tension is significantly increased, effectively tightening the drivetrain. The derailleur should be ridden with the switch in the 'on' position all the time. The 'off' setting allows the shifting to be initially adjusted and makes it easier to remove the rear wheel.

MS—Unique Education Minor for Certificate
The College of Nursing offers students in the master's program an option to minor in Education to prepare for a role as a nurse educator. Students who complete the minor receive a certificate at graduation. This ninecredit minor includes three courses:
- Nurse as Educator (required of all bachelor's and master's students)
- Curriculum and Program Development
- Educational Evaluation.
(In Educational Evaluation, students work with a preceptor to gain experience in the role of educator.)
All courses for the Education Minor may be completed in two semesters. A minimum of 6 credits must be taken at SUNY Upstate.
Fall Semester: February 15
Director of Master's Program
After becoming an RN with an associate's degree, Ibrahim Thabet said, "I felt that my journey was not complete. I decided to continue my education at Upstate Medical University because of the school's rich tradition of prestige.
I could not have imagined an easier transition." Ibrahim achieved his goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner by earning his bachelor's and master's degrees from the College of Nursing.

Panerai Relaunches Classic 1936 Sailing Yacht
Swiss-owned Italian luxury watch brand Panerai has restored a classic 1936 sailing yacht which will now serve as the company's flagship at exclusive yachting events. Panerai CEO and avid yachtsman Angelo Bonati just spent the last two-and-a-half years overseeing a complete restoration of the Eilean (above), a beautiful two-masted 72-ft. Bermudian ketch originally designed and built in 1936 by the legendary Fife boatyard in Scotland. When Bonati acquired the stylish yacht, whose design was inspired by the J-Class America's Cup racers of the 1930s, in 2006 it was a mastless, rusting wreck. He hired Italian naval restoration specialist Enrico Zacagni to undertake the extremely costly and painstaking 40,000-hour task. In addition to its Burmese teak skin and decking and perfectly recreated period details, the yacht now features a bespoke set of Panerai sailing instruments. The beautiful boat will represent the brand at the upcoming Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge.

Paul Frields Takes Over at Fedora
Max Spevack, the leader of the free Fedora distribution project stepped down at the FUDCon and announced Paul Frields as his successor.
At the "Fedora User and Developer Conference" (FUDCon) this weekend in Raleigh, Spevack held the traditional opening speech on the current status of the free distribution to just over 150 participants. In a blog entry posted just before the conference, Spevack said goodbye to "one of the coolest jobs you can have", reviewing his time as project leader.
Spevack took over as project leader in February 2006, shortly after the Fedora Core 5 release, and kept the free distribution moving through four releases. Spevack refers to merging the "Core" and "Extras" developer branches to form a single repository as the major technical achievement in this period, and points to new software tools that help users to develop customized versions of Fedora.
Spevack describes the role of the project leader as mainly organizational. The project leader's major responsibility is to ensure sustainable growth of the community, rather than contributing themselves. And this is also what Spevack sees as the main task for the new project leader: "Continuing to grow our community, lower barriers to entry, and develop new leaders will remain a top priority for Fedora."
Paul Frields will take over as project leader in February. Spevack describes him as an experienced community member: "He has been part of the Fedora community since 2003, not long after the Red Hat Linux Project officially merged with the original Fedora.us. Paul has worked with Fedora's
documentation, packaging, marketing, news, and artwork teams. He also served as one of the inaugural members of the Fedora Project Board." In the first few months, Spevack will be around to assist Frields, and he will be continuing to work on Fedora development. Fedora ambassador Jack Aboutboul will be more involved in marketing the free distribution in future: he was recently taken on by Red Hat's marketing division.
Spevack announced his departure as the Fedora project leader back in December but he will continue to work for Fedora's main sponsor, Red Hat. Just recently there was another change at the head of the Linux company, when Red Hat CEO Szulik surprisingly resigned in December to be succeeded by James Whitehurst January 1.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a 2011 American science fiction film directed by Rupert Wyatt and starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, and Andy Serkis. Written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, it is 20th Century Fox's reboot of the Planet of the Apes series, intended to act as an origin story for a new series of films.[3] Its premise is similar to the fourth film in the original series, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), but it is not a direct remake of that film.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was released on August 5, 2011, to critical and commercial success. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. It was also nominated for five Saturn Awards including Best Director for Wyatt and Best Writing for Jaffa and Silver, winning Best Science Fiction Film, Best Supporting Actor for Serkis and Best Special Effects. Serkis' performance as Caesar was widely acclaimed, earning him many nominations from many associations which do not usually recognize performance capture as traditional acting. A sequel to the film, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, is set for release in July 2014.
Will Rodman (James Franco), a scientist at biotechnology company Gen-Sys, is testing viral-based drug ALZ-112 on chimpanzees to find a cure for brain ailments such as Alzheimer's disease. The drug is given to a chimpanzee, Bright Eyes, greatly increasing her intelligence, but she is forced from her cage, goes on a rampage, and is killed. Will's boss Steven Jacobs (David Oyelowo) terminates the project and orders chimp handler Robert Franklin (Tyler Labine) to euthanize the chimps. After doing as ordered, Franklin discovers that Bright Eyes had recently given birth and convinces Will to save the baby chimp's life by taking him home temporarily. Will's father Charles (John Lithgow), who is suffering Alzheimer's disease, names the chimp "Caesar." Will learns that Caesar (Andy Serkis) has inherited his mother's high intelligence (the 112 virus passing to him in utero) and decides to raise him, working from home and observing his behavior in hopes that he can get the project restarted. Three years later, Will introduces Caesar to the redwood forest at Muir Woods National Monument. Meanwhile, with Charles' condition rapidly deteriorating, Will treats him with ALZ-112 and he is restored to better-than-original cognitive ability.
After five more years and upon seeing a dog on a leash like his own, Caesar (now an adolescent) openly questions his identity and Will tells him of his origins. Meanwhile, Charles's dementia returns as he has become resistant to the ALZ-112. Caesar witnesses a confrontation between confused Charles and neighbor Douglas Hunsiker (David Hewlett) and attacks Hunsiker. Caesar is then placed in a primate shelter where he is treated cruelly by the other chimps and the chief guard, Dodge (Tom Felton). Caesar learns how to unlock his cage, gaining free access to the common area. With the assistance of Buck, a gorilla, he confronts the sanctuary's alpha chimp and claims that position.
Will's boss Jacobs clears development of a more powerful, gaseous version of the viral drug (now called ALZ-113) when Will tells him it will not only heal brain disease but also improve intelligence in anyone. Will takes the drug home to try to save his father, but Charles declines, clutching Will's arm and shaking his head "no". Charles passes away overnight. Franklin is later exposed to the new drug and becomes ill. Attempting to warn Will at his home, he sneezes blood onto Hunsiker and is later discovered dead. Will attempts to reclaim Caesar (after bribing the head of the shelter to release him), but the chimp refuses to go home with him. Instead, he escapes from the facility and returns to Will's house, where he takes canisters of the ALZ-113.
Returning to the facility, Caesar releases the gas, enhancing the intelligence of the other apes overnight. When Dodge attempts to get him back into his cage, Caesar shocks him by speaking for the first time, yelling "No!" Caesar then electrocutes the cattle prod-wielding Dodge by spraying him with water, unintentionally killing him. The apes flee the facility, release the remaining apes from Gen-Sys, and free the other apes from the San Francisco Zoo.
A battle ensues as the ape army fight their way past a police blockade on the Golden Gate Bridge to escape into the Redwood forest at Muir Woods. Buck sacrifices himself to save Caesar by jumping into the helicopter in which Jacobs is riding. The helicopter crashes onto the bridge, trapping Jacobs in the wreckage. Jacobs is then killed by Koba, an elder ape who had been a test subject all his life. As the apes find their way into the forest, Will arrives and warns Caesar that the humans will hunt them down, and begs him to return home. To Will's surprise, Caesar hugs him, symbolizing that he still loves Will. Caesar then speaks and says "Caesar is home." Will, realizing that this is indeed their last farewell, respects Caesar's wishes. In the final scene, the apes climb to the tops of the Redwoods. San Francisco, the city from which they escaped, can be seen in the distance.
During the credits, it's revealed that Hunsiker is an airline pilot, and having been infected by Franklin, he leaves his house for work, arriving at San Francisco International Airport for his flight to Paris. His nose begins to drip blood onto the floor. The camera then zooms into the flight-status board and a graphic traces the spread of the humanity-killing virus to Europe and then around the globe via international airline flight routes.

Development and writing[edit]
In 2006, screenwriter-producer Rick Jaffa was searching for a script idea. As Jaffa searched a newspaper articles clipping, one about pet chimpanzees that become troublesome to their owners and heartbroken for not adapting well to the human environment intrigued him. As Jaffa eventually realized it fit the Planet of the Apes series, he called his wife and screenwriting partner Amanda Silver to express his ideas of such a chimpanzee eventually starting the ape revolution, and then the couple started developing the character of Caesar. Jaffa and Silver then wrote a script and sold it to Fox, producers of the Apes franchise. The script added other elements which the couple had researched, such as genetic engineering.[6] Several tributes to specific scenes, characters, and cast and crew from the previous Apes film series were added in the script. In particular, Caesar's treatment at the primate sanctuary parallels Taylor's treatment as a captive in the original film.[7][8]
In a segment of a video blog post, director Rupert Wyatt commented on the originality of the plot: "This is part of the mythology and it should be seen as that. It's not a continuation of the other films; it's an original story. It does satisfy the people who enjoy those films. The point of this film is to achieve that and to bring that fan base into this film exactly like Batman Begins."[3] In a 2009 interview, Wyatt said, "We've incorporated elements from Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, in terms of how the apes begin to revolt, but this is primarily a prequel to the 1968 film...Caesar is a revolutionary figure who will be talked about by his fellow apes for centuries...This is just the first step in the evolution of the apes, and there's a lot more stories to tell after this. I imagine the next film will be about the all-out war between the apes and humans."[9]
Filming began in July 2010 in Vancouver, British Columbia.[10] Filming also happened in San Francisco, California (the primary setting of the film),[10] and around Oahu, Hawaii, which doubled for the African jungle as the schedule and budget did not allow for location shooting in Africa.[11]
Visual effects[edit]
As the animals in Rise were meant to be actual apes instead of the anthropomorphic simians of the original Apes film franchise, the producers decided not to use actors in make-up or animal suits. After considering real apes, instead Weta Digital created the apes digitally in almost every case through performance capture.[12] Advances in the technology allowed the use of performance capture in an exterior environment, affording the film-makers the freedom to shoot much of the film on location with other actors, as opposed to the confines of a soundstage.[13][14] The main breakthrough was a camera that enabled viewing the motion capture dots in daylight, employed mostly for the Golden Gate Bridge battle. A maximum of six actors could have their movements captured, with larger ape crowds using fully digital animals animated using Weta's move library. The Golden Gate Bridge set used both a physical set which was extended digitally, and a fully computer-generated model of the bridge that also included the ocean and nearby hills.[15]
After shooting the actors playing humans interacting with others wearing the motion capture suits, a clean plate was shot with actors for extra reference. Actor-stuntman Terry Notary guided the actors on realistic ape movement, while Weta studied the chimps in the Wellington zoo for reference. The digital apes also received detailed models with skeletons, muscles and nerve tissue layers for accurate animation. Cast models of apes' heads and limbs helped the texture department replicate skin details such as wrinkles and pores. Given the difference between human and chimpanzee facial muscles, the animators tweaked the performance through a new facial muscle system adding dynamics, ballistics, and secondary motion. As the silent performance required expressive eyes, a new eye model was made to depict both greater accuracy in muscle movement in and around the eyes, and also tears, pupil dilation, and light refraction.[12][16] While Andy Serkis was the primary performer for Caesar, as the effects team considered that at times "Andy overcame the character," other motion capture team actors were also used, especially Devyn Dalton, whose height matched that a chimpanzee. Along with that, they used Notary to play Caesar in stunt-filled scenes such as the Golden Gate Bridge scene.[17]
The score for the film was written by Patrick Doyle and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony.[18] The main concern was to have the music help progress the plot in the scenes without dialogue, for instance, conveying the emotions of Caesar's relationships with Will and Charles. To turn the score into a "driving force that keeps audiences paying attention," Doyle employed an African-American chorus and focused on percussion and "low and deep" orchestra sounds. Doyle collaborated closely with the sound department to make the music complement the sound effects, including writing a recurring theme based on their recording of a chimpanzee.[19]
Critical response[edit]
Reviews for Rise of the Planet of the Apes have been positive, with review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reporting an 82% "Certified Fresh" rating, and an average rating of 7.1/10, based on 247 reviews. The site's critical consensus is: "Led by Rupert Wyatt's stylish direction, some impressive special effects, and a mesmerizing performance by Andy Serkis, Rise of the Planet of the Apes breathes unlikely new life into a long-running franchise."[20] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, reports a score of 68 based on 39 reviews.[21]
Giving the film 5 out of 5 stars, Joe Neumaier of Daily News labelled Rise of the Planet of the Apes as the summer's best popcorn flick.[22]
Nick Pinkerton of The Village Voice wrote, "Caesar's prison conversion to charismatic pan-ape revolutionist is near-silent filmmaking, with simple and precise images illustrating Caesar's General-like divining of personalities and his organization of a group from chaos to order."[23]
Roger Ebert gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and praised the role of Caesar and Andy Serkis by stating it was a "wonderfully executed character" and "one never knows exactly where the human ends and the effects begin, but Serkis and/or Caesar gives the best performance in the movie."[24]
Roger Moore of Orlando Sentinel wrote, "Audacious, violent and disquieting, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a summer sequel that's better than it has any right to be." He gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars.[25]
Manohla Dargis of The New York Times praised the film by saying, "Precisely the kind of summer diversion that the studios have such a hard time making now. It's good, canny-dumb fun." She also gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars.[26]
Box office[edit]
Rise of the Planet of the Apes made its debut in the United States and Canada on roughly 5,400 screens within 3,648 theaters.[27] It grossed $19,534,699 on opening day and $54,806,191 in its entire opening weekend, making it #1 for that weekend as well as the fourth highest-grossing August opening ever.[28] The film held on to the #1 spot in its second weekend, dropping 49.2%, and grossing $27,832,307.[29] Rise of the Planet of the Apes crossed the $150 million mark in the United States and Canada on its 26th day of release. Entertainment Weekly said that this was quite an accomplishment for the film since the month of August is a difficult time for films to make money.[30]
The film ended its run at the box office on December 15, 2011, with a gross of $176,760,185 in the U.S. and Canada as well as $305,040,688 internationally, for a total of $481,800,873 worldwide.[2]

Regarding the story setting up possible sequels, director Rupert Wyatt commented: "I think we're ending with certain questions, which is quite exciting. To me, I can think of all sorts of sequels to this film, but this is just the beginning."[44] Screenwriter and producer Rick Jaffa also stated that Rise of the Planet of the Apes would feature several clues as to future sequels: "I hope that we're building a platform for future films. We're trying to plant a lot of the seeds for a lot of the things you are talking about in terms of the different apes and so forth."[3]
Filming of "Dawn" started on North Vancouver Island in April 2013. The location of Vancouver Island was chosen for its similarity to the locations depicted in the film, the forests, and the variety of landscapes.[45]

Nike Air Max Light Comfort 1.0
December 2nd, 2013 by Aaron Hope | No comments
The Nike Air Max Light occupies a very specific niche within the Nike Sportswear classic footwear catalog. It's not quite on the level of the AM1/90/95/97 pantheon worldwide , but it might be in that conversation over in England, where Size? has cranked out quite a few impressive exclusives. A new version will continue the Euro lean (stick with Sneaker News to find out if they hit in the US as well), the Air Max Light C1.0 hitting European NSW stores to start the new year. You can see the first two pairs in more detail after the jump, then pre-order your selection ahead of the January shipment from Titolo.

Man steve jobs should start a religion with his cult following. People are selling their ipads for low 200's people are standing in line for almost all day. Just to get an ipad that is pretty much the same thing. Most of them already or did own the first ipad. I can understand wanting one but waiting in line for one never. Not even a 10 person line would i wait. I will live by this statement apple products are and always will be overpriced. If the ipad cost less money wouldn't more people buy them and buy more apps which in return would still be more money.
Apple is a great example of a successful business but I don't understand the need to control everything. To me it's like if I made the ipad first but I put my face as the background and nobody can ever change it. People would be like I love the ipad but can you remove your face as would like a different background and I say tough don't buy it if you have a problem. That's pretty much apples stance on alot of things.
Apple will eventually lose this battle to android, it might take sometime but unless apple has some kind of alien technology, it is guaranteed that android will overtake it in the next few years. But for the meantime a 200 ipad is a really good deal and apple make really quality products.
I will own an ipad2 when prices go under 400 in the next few months which it as the more people that buy the more people sell and sellers competing and get desperate leads to low prices.
To any potential new ipad owners here is my advice and you will never lose:
1. Craigslist is your best friend
2. Lowball everybody
3. Be patient, its just a toy you can wait
4. Sell before next announcement, and always sell more than you paid. (If you bought low you will be making a profit)
5. And you never need more than 16gb and 3G is a waste of money (get a smartphone tether for free, and unlimited data helps)

Former candidates issue double endorsement of Atwell, Dorfman
Date: March 26, 2013
by: Roger Drouin | City Editor
Two weeks after the March 12 election, community activist Linda Holland and Pastor Kelvin Lumpkin issued a dual endorsement today for Suzanne Atwell and Richard Dorfman, two of the three candidates in the City Commission at-large run-off.
Atwell, Dorfman, and Susan Chapman are vying for the May 14 run-off.
The duel endorsement shows an effort to fuel voter support for both Atwell and Dorfman, who are facing off against neighborhood leader and slow-growth advocate Chapman.
In a press release sent Tuesday, March 26, both Holland and Lumpkin said they believed a dual endorsement — combined with a get-out-the-vote effort — would make a difference in the election.
"One of the things I've learned in my 30 years of civic engagement is the value of teamwork," Holland said. "And Suzanne Atwell is an experienced and essential team player.
Holland added, "After debating our way through 12 public forums I've grown to admire Richard Dorfman's 'can do' attitude and robust perspective on the issues."
Lumpkin said he is ready to pitch in with the campaign effort of both Atwell and Dorfman.
"Their combined experience and positive outlook will serve our city well," Lumpkin said. "I'm rested and ready to throw my support behind the two candidates I feel are best suited to lead Sarasota: Suzanne Atwell and Richard Dorfman."
Atwell supporters pointed out that the double endorsement was an unusual display of bi-partisan unity for Holland, a Democrat, and Lumpkin, a Republican. "While city elections are non-partisan, party politics can play a role in the process at times," read the press release sent Tuesday.

- Dorfman team names pinch hitter. This is a bad move for Suzanne Atwell that may put her in danger of losing her seat to her new team leader. However, I still like the ladies best and will stick with them both. 5:20_3.31

- Dorfman Team names pinch hitter to replace Lumpkin – I'm afraid Atwell is in grave danger now and doesn't realize the mistake she has made. I'll stick with the two ladies, thank you.

- A "duel" endorsement? Wow, with pistols? I want to see that.
Oh, wait... maybe its just a dual endorsement.
- 4.
- I can't tell you how surprised I am over this! I mean, what are the chances - those two endorsing these two?
- 5.
- Wow -- all those backed by the black hats (to one degree or another) united against one little feisty lady! High Noon hits Sarasota... gotta know that not only must she have lots of guts, but she must really frighten those who think they can stomp her by closing ranks. This should be historic in proportions.

- Very wise endorsements. May those two win in the runoff.

As a child, Christmas meant good food, especially nuts and chocolate, lots of presents, and party games. We often played "hunt the thimble," and sometimes the thimble was hidden behind my father's pile of brown paper wrapped, unopened BMJs.
By 1975 I was married with three children. Our Christmases still involved fine food and presents but my wife had become a thimble collector and instead of hunting the thimble I was "gifting the thimble." Over the next years, as I travelled to meetings and conferences, I had the opportunity to seek thimbles out from all over the world, and over time I too became interested in them. I have devoted my retirement to the hobby of thimble collecting and thought that, as a surgeon, close to Christmas, it might be interesting to review the use of the humble thimble in surgical practice.
Searching for thimbles
I searched the BMJ archive for the word "thimble" and searched on Google for "surgical thimble." I excluded thimbles mentioned as foreign bodies in the oesophagus or trachea and non-surgical uses of thimbles. Of 113 articles identified in the BMJ archive, 11 detailed the use of surgical thimbles or thimble shaped instruments.
The many uses of thimbles
Although surgeons used thimbles for sewing in the past,1 with the advent of needle holders this is no longer the case. Thimbles or thimble derivatives, however, are used in other surgical situations.
Cardiac surgery
In the 1950s, a cardiac surgeon, William Glenn,2 described the use of a tailor's thimble to dilate or split the mitral valve during open heart surgery.
In patients with severe mitral valve stenosis needing surgery, the cusps of the valve are sometimes tightly stuck together. They can be separated by pushing a …
