Mar 22, 2011Stunning!! Just played it and still looks great even though it is now more than 6 years old. Immersive and innovative gameplay, why don't they make more of these types of games anymore?
Oct 25, 2011I really love this game, Great strategy behind it, Compelling story. Really decent graphics for a game of its time. Wish it had a skirmish build, but I understand it is a story Driven game with goals other then just pass space conquest. You can get a ton of mods for it off of Mod DB which helps bring more return playability after the campaign is over. Rumor they are making a Nexus 2 as well so Look out for that title I hope they keep up to the name of the first Nexus an do not ruin it by trying to make it a Sandbox style Space game, Keep to the core of what made this game compelling an fun, please. I like the interface a lot the weapon use,repair tree, selecting to give more or less power to certain systems. The capability of single shot control of your weapons systems, or being able to switch the mode from Defensive or offensive like different Alert statuses depending on battle or recon scenarios. Only thing I find lacking is the non support for a higher Resolution for wide screen monitors with a 16:9 ratio you can not run 1600x1200 so you have to run under a lower resolution an lose a giant part of your screens viewing capability. An they have not patched this issue nor does it seem they ever will. Wish a Mod programer would address this an make a 1.2 Game Patch for enhanced graphics/resolutions. Maybe some day... cause of that I give this game a 8, cause of mechanics on options. Other then that the game is a joy to play, being able to customize the build out lay of ships is fun an brings a curve to the strategy of how to play each mission to the fullest capability your ship can have in different scenarios.… Expand
Jun 19, 2012The best space-tactic game I've ever played. Believable physics and AI, graphics are very nice for a game from 2005. Ships try to run away if they're getting pounded and if they're about to blow up they evacuate which, afaik, has no in-game purpose, but it adds a very nice touch. Reminds us there are living beings on board and that war isn't nice, even if it's a very pretty war in space. Gameplay reminds me of a star-trek episode. There's usually so much more to do than just "shoot stuff and go home". You get to scan things, solve puzzles, make decisions... and the actual combat is very good! You get to target subsystems, prioritize them, assign repair crews, try out different weapon combinations and board ships with commandos! Overall, very good game, heartily recommended for anyone who likes scifi.

Dec 27, 2012I played this again recently and it's still looks good even 8 years on (after some tweaks to get 1920x1080) and is still one of the best RTSs I've played. Shame it had such a bad release and no one knew about it, otherwise they would have been able to finish the sequel. Currently £1.49 on steam, if you like sci-fi and RTSs it's one you need to play.
The down sides are... it has quite a steep learning curve and it's not aimed at people who cannot figure things out for themselves (like most games do these days), there is no hand-holding and the AI is ruthless. Which makes it very hard.… Expand
Apr 7, 2013Some people complained that this game was all too classic, without new rivaling ideas I couldn't object more! Yes, the plot is classic, and that's a way I love. The rest is really well laid out, an epic story, many different aspects, sometimes not explained well enough, I agree there. It is too bad that the creators apparently did not have the time to release more patches because some things are unbalanced and a little random. If you can forgive that, you'll have much fun with this game. AND there are some game guides out there that can help you get over the first difficulties. Also, the graphics are still something to catch your eye, even today (I discovered the game only recently). In any case, Nexus sure captured me, despite the (for me forgivable) flaws it unfortunately has. BUT they are "merely" technical in my point of view.… Expand
Apr 14, 2013A great looking game, with a good story. However, shoddy music and an incredibly steep learning curve, coupled with frustratingly hard missions and no offline play other than the campaign, make this game one that I would happily cheat on to complete it.
Oct 3, 2013This game will drive you mad, why? Because it's such a challenge. It is nice to see a game that is a little more than a click fest. The only complaint I have is moving units and controlling them is a bit difficult because of the way the 3D map works. Definitely worth the money
Jan 16, 2014Everything about this game is top-notch.
The only reason it gets a 9 instead of a 10 for me is because at the highest difficulty it can be far too difficult.
Other than that, it is a crying shame this game is not more well-known, and that the sequel is having such trouble getting a release.
This game is fun, playable, AND makes you think. It is truly a problem-solver's game.
Overall however, we're rather taken with Nexus. Its mixture of tactics, mouse-control and combat-orientated gameplay is suitably different from both "Homeworld" and traditional space-combat games like Freespace, delivering something unique and yet familiar enough to appeal to fans of either game. [PC Zone]
It's delicious to watch. Nexus' whirling space charts and system-spanning ships slip past spiraling asteroids, fend of the shadows of "Homeworld" and make your head spin. [Christmas 2004, p.114]
The first couple of hours of the game are fantastic, as you're introduced to the universe, the ships, the stunning battles and the interesting gameplay, but for the average strategy fan, the realisation that the game is all about increasingly complex micro-management of your ships and crew is something of a let-down.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sunhead of 1617 Amsterdam
Awesome time!
Excellent stay. We were a party of four and stayed at one of the apartments they offer (Gaashuismolensten). Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The one bedroom apartment was spotless, funky (the shower opened to the kitchen), overlooked a lovely canal, and couldn't be more centrally located - 3 minutes from Dam Square, a block and a canal away from a supermarket, and 10 minutes walking distance from the train station.
The owners were extremely helpful, friendly and gave great advice on places to go, and eat.
Highly recommended, would stay again in an instant.
Mu husband and I just stayed in the red room September 26th & 27th 2004. The room overlooks the Herengracht canal and, in our opinion, gives you a much more authentic Amsterdam experience than a hotel (this is the first B&B we've ever stayed in). We got an amazing tour of Amsterdam's canals from the owner, who has a boat moored out in front of the canal house. We can't say enough good things about our stay at Sunhead and highly recommend it.
Amsterdam as it should be
We stayed in the Red room with windows overlooking the canal and bridge. Very atmospheric in the loft of this 16C canal house. Carlos very friendly and breakfast superb in the basement dining area, shared with other guests, visitors and Carlos. Great location between Dam square and the quiet Jordaan, around the corner from Anne Frank house. We would recommend Sunhead to those looking for a taste of old Amsterdam and a special atmosphere.
Good place to stay
We stayed for two nights in the Heerengracht 154, and we would go again here any time. The hosts are very friendly. The room is nicely decorated and clean, the shower is luxurious.
Only minor disadvantages: It is a chellar apartement. Though electrical lightment is well, there is only little light from some small milky glas windows, thus you have no view to the very nice Herengracht. The apartement is not equipped for cooking, we recommend to have breakfast, lunch or dinner somewhere outside.
Great apartment...Very nice hosts...
We just returned from a short but fantastic 3 night stay in an apartment offered by Sunhead. We had a great 1 bedroom place on a bright and sunny corner! We were greeted very warmly by the owners of Sunhead and shown immense hospitality. We will DEFINITELY contact them next time we are in Amsterdam. Our advice...GET in touch EARLY as they book well in advance!!!
A Fantastic B&B
We have just returned from a weekend break at Sunhead 1617, and it was fantastic. Why anyone would want to stay in a dull, identikit chain hotel when you can stay in a beautiful (nearly 400 year old) canal house located on one of Amsterdam's most prestigious canals is a mystery to me. The owners Carlos and Roelf are very hospitable and provide a fantastic breakfast (our breakfast on day one consisted of freshly squeezed juice, fruit salad, smoked salmon, ham, cheese, freshly baked bread, tea, coffee, boiled eggs AND croissants!)We stayed in the salmon room on the first floor which looks over the canal at the front of the house. You're on a quiet street so any noise is minimal. The room itself is large and beautifully decorated, and comes with a big comfortable double bed, antique furniture and an ensuite bathroom with a great shower.When you arrive, you're greeted by fresh flowers in the entrance hall and the friendly resident cat, and are free to come and go as you please. Our favourite night in Amsterdam was spent walking down the Herengracht canal (from the B&B) to a restaurant we had heard about (at the B&B). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sunhead, and would happily return there next time I'm in Amsterdam.
Very nice experience
A friend and I stayed in the "red room" in January 2004 and I would definitely recommend the place -- to the right people. It is a fabulous, historic canal house with appropriately rustic furnishings.
We were comfortable, although we sure needed that extra blanket at night. I would imagine it's quite comfortable in warmer weather.
Wonderful, huge bathtub with abundant hot water. Delicious breakfast with great homemade juice served by friendly owners (gay men) in an lovingly decorated kitchen. The big drawback is that this room is reached by climbing a LOT of narrow stairs. We're not in fabulous shape and we made it OK, but this is not a good choice for anyone with a bad heart! There's another room that's lower down. Excellent location, near the corner of Herengracht and Leliegracht. Very good value for the 109 Euro we paid (winter prices).
Christmas in the Red Room
We stayed three nights in the red-room over Christmas. The owners are great and were willing to help us in any way on getting around in Amsterdam. It was one of our favorite places to on our travels in Europe. If you are looking at a well nights rest I recomment this place. I do know that the Red room was quite comfortable and the view was awesome. We will Visit again!
~brad & neil
Unique and hospitable
The place is a little pricey but worth it. We stayed in the red room on the top floor and it was lovely. It's really an attic space converted with lovely antique furniture and a unique colorful design. The view of the canal is very pleasant. The breakfast served by the hosts was great as well. There is no set menu, they just ask you if you want a omelette or something. The guys also serve homemade fruit juice that was very tasty. It's very close to the Anne Frank house which makes it convenient.
The place to stay in Amsterdam
The Sunhead of 1617 is a beautiful, listed, canal house on the Herengracht. It is easy walking distance from the city center and, in fact, from just about every major attraction in the city. The folks that run the place are friendly and helpful. The room that we stayed in, the first floor bedroom overlooking the canal, was absolutely gorgeous, with antique furniture and a large, comfortable bed and a private bathroom.
Book early as there are only two rooms and an apartment on offer and it is a well known and popular place to stay. It is certainly where we will be the next time we are in Amsterdam.

Pam went back to LA after a few days and I stayed on for another week before making my way down to Roosendaal to catch up with my best friend from Nursery and Primary School (Cara), with a crazy night of partying in Ghent, Belgium. Then I went back to Amsterdam for 2 nights before heading to Lapland. My last night in Amsterdam was incredible :)
I have a feeling I'll be seeing Amsterdam again very soon :)

The canals are one of the features that make the city so very special, and the majority of the homes along the canals were built in the 1600s, and still retain their original facades, complete with ...

Had chocolate sprinkles for breakfast at the buffet. Left the botel for a walking tour around Amsterdam. We got shown dam square, the royal house and the main shopping district.

Go to the Van Gogh
Last full day in Amsterdam and on the trip.
We decided to do one museum today. The Rijksmuseum is huge and holds countless different artists so we decided on the Van Gogh Museum since we at least knew who he was and the museum is not quite so large. For information purposes, the Gogh is not pronounced "Go", nor is it pronounced "Goff". It is pronounced something akin to trying to dislodge a shrimp stuck in your throat. You sort of take the "ch" as the Scottish pronounce in "loch" ...

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Senator sending wrong messages to the masses
OTTAWA -- Sen. Pamela Wallin is still waiting for results of an independent audit examining the validity of her expense claims while in the Senate.
She is one of four senators whose spending claims are under scrutiny in a Senate scandal that has many Canadians questioning the purpose of the Senate in Canadian democracy, but the only one audit firm Deloitte has yet to finish investigating.
Wallin has already paid back $38,000 in travel expenses she says she accidentally submitted to the Senate, even though it was for travel for the various corporate boards she sits on. She called it an honest paperwork mistake and apologized for not paying closer attention to the details.
But last week it was made public Wallin's commitment to detail on her expense claims is as lax as her commitment to democracy and civic duty.
The Globe and Mail obtained a copy of a letter Wallin wrote to the Senate committee looking into her expense claims, answering questions about where she lives, pays taxes and votes.
They were trying to determine if Wallin and other senators met certain residency requirements in the province they are supposed to represent.
Most stunning in the letter is Wallin told the committee she couldn't say where she had voted because she hadn't done so.
"I have not been able to vote in the last federal, provincial or municipal elections due to the travel and work schedule," the letter reads.
A high-profile senator, well-known in this country after decades as a national television journalist and then a diplomat, and this is the example she sets? She was just too busy. Not once, not twice, but three times.
It might almost be ironic if it weren't so disappointing Wallin had time to fly around and campaign for the Conservatives during the federal election campaign but didn't have time to vote.
Voter turnout in Canada is dismal. In 2011, 61 per cent of registered voters cast a ballot.
In Saskatchewan, the province Wallin represents in the Senate, turnout in the last provincial election on Nov. 7, 2011, was 66 per cent. That's better than most other provinces but still unacceptably low.
Municipally, Wallin should have voted in Wadena, a town of 1,300 east of Saskatoon where she was born and raised and now claims as her home. She left Saskatchewan in the late 1970s, living in Ottawa, Toronto and New York City. In 2009, she was appointed to the Senate to represent Saskatchewan despite the fact she hadn't actually lived there in more than three decades.
It's worth noting whatever Wallin was busy with during both the last Saskatchewan and federal elections, it wasn't Senate business. The Senate does not sit during a federal election, and on Nov. 7, 2011, the date of the Saskatchewan election, the Senate was on a break week.
The Senate was sitting on Oct. 24, 2012 when residents of Wadena voted in their current mayor and council, so she might possibly get a pass on that one. But Saskatchewan law requires every municipality to provide at least one advance polling day.
Provincially and federally, both advance voting and mail-in ballots are allowed.
Apparently, Wallin was so busy campaigning, or maybe it was with her various business commitments to corporate boards and public-speaking engagements, she couldn't be bothered to find out how and where she could vote if she couldn't be there in person on election day.
If a high-profile senator can't be bothered to vote, it's no wonder voter turnout continues to plunge.
Ilona Dougherty, executive director of Apathy is Boring, a group trying to improve civic engagement in Canada, said it was certainly strange somebody who is part of our democratic system apparently didn't know about an absentee ballot.
"It's either a lack of education or a lack of interest," said Dougherty. She also said it suggests a lack of respect for the position Wallin is in and doesn't send the right message to Canadians about the importance of voting.
Canada's Senate is already laden with accusations it is undemocratic, since it is unelected and seemingly unaccountable to the people it represents. Having a well-known senator play right into that idea by not bothering to vote simply adds fuel to the fire.

Inno3D doing a Graphics Plus package bundle
by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/08/2008 01:01 PM | Source | 0 comment(s) ]
Inno3D is releasing a new software bundle with some of their products. It's a relatively small company and as such is harder for them to do these deals. They offer really nice products as you know, you probably read many of our Inno3D iChill reviews.
Inno3D will bundle Warmonger (free download anyway ?), Far Cry 2 and then top it off with a trial copy of Badaboom transcoding software as well. So this is the deal:
- All GeForce 9 series products and newer will receive the Badaboom & Warmonger bundle, which unless I'm mistaken I believe you can download straight from the web for free anyway.
- Interesting though, all GeForce GTX 260 and 280 buyers will get that bundle and a full copy of Far Cry 2 as well.
Granted the Warmonger titles sucks badly as you can download it for free and it surely would have been nice to see a full copy of Badaboom. But the inclusion FC2 with the GTXes is not bad.

The Boot Camp Click (Black Moon, Heltah Skeltah, Cocoa Brovaz, O.G.C., etc) in their prime were a dynasty in the making, and consorted with the elite of NY s underground hip-hop scene. But since their auspicious arrival this talented core of emcees has been a shell of their former selves, suffering from a variety of growth-stunting ailments that has depleted their once ample arsenal (legal woes, label changes and dissension with in house production team the Beatminerz).
This family reunion surely rubbed open some old wounds for the Clik, as it was their first highly-anticipated caucus For The People that triggered there downward spiral, and eventual fall from grace. Much like that first gathering, this project suffers from many of the same deficiencies– lack of direction and unregimented Beatminerz less production.
Intermittently conceptualized, this assemblage is a continual contrast in agendas, as BCC's ranking officers are calculated, clinging to their standard subterranean existence with mixed results. While the camps covert kinsmen (who previously offered very little hope for BCC s future) are more advantageous in utilizing a temperately revitalized sound. Exemplified by the B.T.J.'s "Playin' For Keeps" & Illa Noyz's "Sleepers".
However, the camp has always been regulated by its more established heavyweights, and more specific it s Napoleonic general Buckshot. The only member of the Camp still loyal to the Beatminerz sound, Buckshot continues his offensive with them in tow, revitalizing his original crook style on the spunky "Jump Up", while adding a few new verses to the barely tweaked "Worldwind" remix from Baby Paul. The BDI emcee also appears on the brutish mix-tape leaked "Eye Of The Scorpio" f/ Rock Of Heltah Skeltah, whose bone-jarring vocals steal the spotlight. Heltah Skeltah's lone group effort, the multi-purpose "Ultimate Rush" which has appeared on numerous other projects makes the rounds yet again, and features Canada's finest lyrical import Saukrates.
However, like most compilations, or soundtracks there is seemingly no way around the requisite amount of filler-material, or trivial collaborations, and this LP is by no means different. Bootcamp fans its time to sound the alarm, because this once fledgling dynasty is now officially in a state of emergency, but at least their is hope on the horizon in Buck's solo debut.

USPTO and agency IG at odds over extent of telework abuses
Patent and Trademark officials were at odds with the agency's inspector general findings about the level of telework attendance abuse at a Nov. 18 joint congressional hearing. While the agency contended that it has the problem under control, Commerce Department Inspector General Todd Zinser said the agency's internal investigation understated the problem, at a joint House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and House Judiciary Committee hearing.
FDA not testing fruits and vegetables for most commonly used pesticides, GAO says
The Food and Drug Administration doesn't test for some of the most commonly used pesticides when it looks into the amount of residue left on fruits and vegetables, says a Government Accountability Office report released Oct. 7. And the agency isn't releasing that information in their annual monitoring reports, according to congressional investigators.

Senate bill to address veteran suicides gains steam
Support for bill that would overhaul the Veterans Affairs Department's suicide prevention strategy gained steam on both sides of the aisle in the Senate after the mother of a combat vet who committed suicide testified to the troubles with the current system. "Clay's story details the urgency needed in addressing this issue," Susan Selke, said at a Nov. 19 Senate Veterans Affairs Committee hearing. "Despite his proactive and open approach to seeking care to address his injuries, the VA system did not adequately address his needs. Even today, we continue to hear about both individual and systemic failures by the VA to provide adequate care and address the needs of veterans."

VA issues second round of cards that allow vets to seek outside medical care
Veterans waiting more than 30 days for an appointment at a Veterans Affair medical center will be able to seek outside health care, the department announced in a Nov. 18 statement.
OPM reaching out to managers to educate on Pathways program recruitment
The Office of Personnel Management convened a 100-person session to help identify problems with the Pathways program, said OPM Chief of Staff Ann Marie Habershaw at a Nov. 19 event sponsored by FedInsider and George Washington University. OPM has been hearing complaints about Pathways, which is an internship program that could lead to a full-time government position, since it started in 2012, with federal managers saying hiring interns out of the program is too cumbersome.

The Federal Aviation Administration could have a tough time meeting its deadline for the Next Generation Air Transportation program, or NextGen – a 20-year, $40 billion initiative designed to modernize a decades-old U.S. aviation system by using satellite-based, digital technologies to make air travel safe, reliable, convenient and more predictable – according to the Transportation Department's inspector general.
NATO launched its largest ever multinational cyber-defense exercise Nov. 18 – a three-day training event that includes 670 technical, government and cyber experts operating from dozens of locations from across partner nations, NATO said in a statement. The training will test NATO's ability to defend its networks in the event of a cyber attack, NATO says in the statement.

Robert Griffin III benched; Colt McCoy to start against Colts
Jay Gruden was losing games and the locker room, so he benched the quarterback, marking a swift fall for the 2012 rookie of the year.
Jay Gruden was losing games and the locker room, so he benched the quarterback, marking a swift fall for the 2012 rookie of the year.
The Redskins have waived linebacker Akeem Jordan, whom they placed on injured reserve last month with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
In 2012, the Redskins relied on a particular run fake and route combination to create big plays for Robert Griffin III. They used it against the 49ers, but many teams have adjusted to it.
The rest of the Redskins's season seems to be about Robert Griffin III. Mike Jones answers a rack of reader questions about his future, what's gone wrong and more.
Coach Jay Gruden said on Monday that he understands the frustrations that his wide receivers are dealing with.
In place of the special-teams standout linebacker is another linebacker who has spent most of the season on the practice squad.
The Redskins' coach gave a loose commitment to keeping the starting quarterback in place.
Jay Gruden said his intent is to stick with the quarterback. Here's a poll -- what would you do?
Jay Gruden has a tough call to make on whether to stick with Robert Griffin III, and four more observations from Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
Washington's quarterback voices resolute faith in Jay Gruden's system and his own ability to improve.

Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) recently lambasted legislation that may prevent the White House from transferring the lethal drone program from the CIA to the Defense Department. The provision is in a classified part of the bill, so the public may never know what it says.
The Great Debate
Can Obama ever close Guantanamo?
Twelve years ago this month, President George W. Bush issued an order authorizing the U.S. military to detain non-U.S. citizen "international terrorists" indefinitely, and try some of them in military commissions. Within two months, those seized in the "war on terror" following the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan were being sent to Guantanamo Bay.
The militarization of U.S. police forces
This month, more Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicles (MRAPs) have found their way from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to the Main Streets of America. These are just the latest acquisitions in a growing practice by Pentagon that's militarizing America's municipal police forces.
Saving Defense dollars: From BRAC to ORAC
While the government shutdown continues because of the Democrats' and Republicans' profound disagreement, the real issue facing the nation is something that both parties agree on, in principle: the need to reduce the size of the federal deficit.
The danger in shutting down national security
The nation awoke Tuesday to find much of the federal government closed for business. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives had refused to fund essential government functions until the rest of Congress and President Barack Obama agreed to reverse a healthcare law passed three years ago and deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court. By doing so, they put reversing healthcare reform ahead of protecting the nation.
The case for sea-based drones

Drone coalition: Key to U.S. security
The Pentagon's biggest, most high-tech spy drone aircraft — one of the hottest items on the international arms market — is the key to a burgeoning robotic alliance among the United States, Japan, South Korea and Australia.
A sequestration solution for the Pentagon
The sequestration drama in Washington is less severe and intractable than you have heard. A partial solution: Block the across-the-board cut of $42.5 billion in military funds this year — the Pentagon's portion of $85 billion due March 1 — and spread the savings over several years by tweaking military spending caps already on the books.
from David Rohde:
Make allies, not kill lists
Viewers of Thursday's confirmation hearing of Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel can be forgiven for thinking they were watching a years-old C-SPAN rerun. The importance of America's intercontinental ballistic missiles dominated initial questioning. Then the war in Iraq was debated. In the end, the issue that most concerned senators from both parties was Hagel's loyalty to Israel.
Obama's power grab at the Pentagon
President Barack Obama's decision last week to cut the defense budget by $487 billion over the next 10 years was met with cries of derision from his critics ("inexcusable," said GOP front-runner Mitt Romney) and shrugs of acceptance from his supporters. The reduction's two headlines: 1. One hundred thousand troops are being chopped from the Marine Corps and Army; 2. The entire U.S. foreign policy focus will begin to shift from the Near East to the Far East (anxieties about China having replaced—or at least settled alongside—our permanently ingrained fears of Middle Eastern terror). The cuts themselves, though, are less significant as fiscal policy than as a statement about President Obama's relationship with the Pentagon: Barack is taking it over.

Bergeron appreciates the Selke win - 0 Comments
LAS VEGAS—The 2011-12 season certainly didn't end the way Patrice Bergerno would have liked, but tonight the Bruin centerman took home nice consolation prize.
At the NHL Awards last night at the Wynn Resort, Bergeron won the Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward, and it wasn't close. He received 106 first-place votes out of 148 votes cast and had nearly double the votes of second-place finisher, St. Louis Blues center David Backes, who got 698 total votes to Bergeron's 1,312. Third place finisher Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings received 553 votes.

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) — At least two suspects entered the home of a Paradise Valley man the night before he was found murdered seven months ago, police said Tuesday.
Paradise Valley police also announced that the reward for helpful information in the case has been raised to $10,000 as authorities try to solve the April 28 death of Michael Gilman, 68, who was stabbed about 50 times inside his home in a gated community.
Gilman's personal assistant found his body and reported the crime to police.
Two suspects who entered his home stole Gilman's vehicle after killing him, and the vehicle later was set on fire, police said.
Detectives discovered footage from speed-enforcement cameras that shows Gilman's vehicle traveling north on Scottsdale Road before heading east on Shea Boulevard, police spokesman Kevin Albert said.
Gilman's vehicle was closely followed by another vehicle that police believe belongs to the second person involved in the crime, Albert said.
Neighbors living in Gilman's gated community said the former businessman largely kept to himself and reportedly split his time between Los Angeles and Phoenix.
State records show Gilman was president and CEO of two firms in the 1990s: United Capital Planners Inc. in Scottsdale and United Arizona Holdings Corp. Both are no longer in practice.

David Lynch meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers. David Cronenberg does District 9. Stanley Kubrick remakes Tarantula. The new film, Enemy, by Canadian director Denis Villeneuve is very hard to describe (especially without giving too much away), and the studio's ambiguous summary of the picture – which basically says it's about a man who sees his identical twin in a movie and then seeks to find him – doesn't even begin to describe what this film is about or how strange it is.
A cinematic sparring match unlike any other in recent memory, "Some Velvet Morning" offers an unflinching glimpse into the lives of an alluring prostitute, Velvet (Alice Eve), and her domineering lover, Fred (Stanley Tucci). Over the course of 83 minutes, we eavesdrop on this toxic pair as they engage in an impassioned war of words – chatting, groping, yelling and sobbing, all within the confines of her upscale townhouse. Written and directed by Tony-nominated playwright Neil LaBute, this low-budget chamber piece has been flying under the radar since its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, but will surely blindside audiences this winter with nuanced performances and a certain shocking plot twist. Ahead of its Valley release at Harkins Shea 14 in Scottsdale this weekend, GetOut spoke with LaBute about the film, his French influences, and experience collaborating with Tucci and Eve.
It was late July, and perched in the football office, Chaparral coach Dave Huffine recalled seeing Desert Mountain's two best players, quarterback Kyle Allen and wide receiver Mark Andrews, on the Firebirds field throwing passes to one another.

Shea Homes recently began pre-sales for homes at its newest community within the Bridges at Gilbert.
With its size and expeditious growth so far, Mesa's Eastmark has understandably stolen much of the attention paid to real estate in the East Valley this summer. But at 480 acres, with 1,600 lots planned, The Bridges at Gilbert has quickly become the next big addition to the local housing market.

Larger-than-life and a true embodiment of New York's audacious spirit, former NYC mayor Ed Koch lived his life in the public eye. With the bulk of his three-term career encompassing the turbulent 1980s, Koch went head-to-head with issues such as race relations, the AIDS crisis and the crack epidemic – drumming up controversy along the way while still maintaining his likable if outspoken persona.

A second-year law student at Arizona State University, Adam Brown arrived at the new Krispy Kreme Doughnuts shop in Mesa about 8 a.m. on Monday to be first in line for the grand opening of the shop, nearly 24 hours before its doors opened for business.
Shea Homes, in partnership with Sunrun, will offer solar options on several of its homes in the East Valley.
In this column space, I often get a break from writing about the bad news, the crime and the dark side of a community. I get to write about human interests — people, their jobs, a unique project in a community or one's hobby. You know, the lighter side of life.
