Jul 19, 2011I thought this movie was amazing, the best I've seen in a while. The plotline was cool and the special effects were amazing. Nicolas cage and Rose Byrne were awesome in it. I can't believe how some people didn't like this movie.
Sep 25, 2010The film starts out as a sort of silly cliché idea about the ability to see the future. It expands into so much more, though. Everything throughout is intense and well-designed. The dialogue is nothing to write home about, but the actual characters are very human. You never know what is going to happen next, despite the inevitable being made pretty obvious with the whole "code-that-forsees-disasters" thing. The best thing about the film is its philosophical parts. Much of its story is very symbolic of Biblical tales. By no means is it preachy, but it certainly provides ideologically sensitive material. Overall, this film is not perfect, but its unique journey through humanity and their reaction to the impending end of the world is brilliant.… Expand
Aug 18, 2010Analisado com o devido escrutinio e bom-senso, o enredo focado no debate sobre a regencia do Universo pelo determinismo ou pela aleatoriedade carece de sentido. Isso pouco importa ante a precisao com a qual o responsavel pelo visionario "Cidade das Sombras" manipula nossas expectativas, sujeitando-nos a visoes aterrorizantes de catastrofes misteriosamente profetizadas, que eclodem na tela de maneira inesperada. Entre cada sequencia de destruicao, e mantida uma atmosfera de inevitabilidade, misterio e ameaça, fazendo com que nenhum segmento da narrativa esmoreca em folego. Cliches flagrantes como o relacionamento complicado entre o pai viuvo (Cage) e seu filhinho precoce adquirem verossimilhanca gracas ao texto bem lapidado. "Pressagio" alcanca estados sublimes de imageria sci-fi em seu derradeiro ato, consolidando Proyas como o midas do genero desde que se lancou em meados dos anos 90.… Expand
Sep 19, 2010This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie starts up as an interesting story, how the professor, Cage, discovers the true story about the letter. It gets kind-a creepy when the "men in black" enter the scene. It uses the normal cliches to create unneeded tension, AKA "mysterious men who disappear when you look back" and so on.
The story keeps going down slowly through the film, but it isn't a bad film to watch.
Just remember that this is not the "ultimate" film you will remember after years have past.
Or you might remember the end. It just plain sucked. Yea.… Expand
Nov 26, 2010Awesome film!! They did a great job of mixing Religion and science together. It is very rare for anyone to tell a story of these two coexisting but yet, this movie did! Just awesome! Ending was very satisfying and it did not let you down like most films do.
Jan 12, 2013Made by the Mayas to warn us of the impeding doom, or was it by Summit entertainment to empty our pockets? All joking aside, this exellent doomsday film looks gorgeous in nice desaturated sephia-like tones with razor sharp imagery captured on the RED One camera. The film does take some time to get going but it's well acted (by Mr.Cage), has a brooding atmosphere and a satisfying ending. One of the better Alex Proyas films!… Expand
Sep 7, 2014" The numbers are the key to everything." - John Koestler
This movie is one of the best movies i ever seen. Special effects are ok but the story I liked the most.
Science fiction fans will feel gypped, disaster movie fans will appreciate about 10 minutes of screen time and be bored by the rest, and no one else will care.
Knowing is among the best science-fiction films I've seen -- frightening, suspenseful, intelligent and, when it needs to be, rather awesome.
What would a Christian Apocalypse movie look like with a big budget, a talented director, and star power of higher wattage than a discount Baldwin brother? Here comes the answer: like a glum hybrid of the "Final Destination" movies, an Irwin Allen disaster bash, and the kitschiest parts of Darren Aronofsky's "The Fountain."

Anyway, apologies for the repetition of these, but they are some of my favourite videos so worth posting again. In most of these it is just unbelievable how drunk these women are. And because these girls are so drunk, some of these videos are very funny too. Thanks to those that filmed and posted them.
1. An incredibly drunk girl 'walking' hilariously at a 90 degree angle as she attempts to head off somewhere on St Patricks Day, before she runs out of trees. She is completely shitfaced:
2. In the early hours of the morning, a totally wasted young woman basically falls out of an elevator and has to be helped to her hotel room by her male companion. The guys filming it can't believe what they have just seen. This video introduced me to the word 'gibbled' which I had never heard before. What does it mean? As you will see when you click on the link below- it means utterly inebriated. And this young lady is absolutely gibbled:
The Drunkest Broad in the World (Absolutely Gibbled)
3. Two British girls who are basically too drunk to walk prop themselves up against a car's bonnet. Despite this, they are still too drunk to even be capable of standing upright, and so- inevitably- they fall over:
4. Two very drunk girls outside a nightclub. They totter around on their heels, bump into cars and eventually fall over:
5. Wasted girl stumbles out of a pool party, vomits spectacularly, and then staggers back while bouncing off several cars along the way
6. Someone's girlfriend got wasted in Las Vegas:
Drunk Girl in Las Vegas, bare ass and too drunk to walk
7. An extremely drunk girl has to be carried out of a nightclub after sliding off her seat. She can hardly stand up and so is hoisted over a male friend's shoulder:
8. This girl is an a state of utter inebriation. She cannot even stand up, never mind walk. Eventually she rolls into the field. The wheelchair bit is funny. The police eventually arrive:
9. A wasted girl can't stand up even with the help of two friends:
10. It's the morning after the night before, and a girl is still so drunk she can't walk. Her tipsy boyfriend struggles to keep her upright:
11. This girl is wasted on her birthday. Wearing fancy dress, she staggers and falls into a stranger's lap:
12. These two young women are drunk but doing their best to somehow make it home. The girl in the white pants though is so drunk she's practically legless:
13. It's probably not the best idea to try and bend over and show your ass when you're rather shitfaced like this woman:
14. The world is spinning for this young lady, who is definitely on Planet Zig-Zag:
15. Similar to this young lady, who props herself up against a parking meter:
Drunk Girl Loving On the Parking Meter
16. This girl has gone beyond Planet Zig-Zag and is on another planet entirely!
17. Boozed up at the races
18. Drunk Asian girl is helped out of a nightclub on New Years Eve:
19. Another young Asian woman who is drunk, swaying and stumbling as she waits in a queue:
Drunk Asian girl on 4th July
20. Two completely sozzled young women waiting at a bus stop on a night out. One of them is so drunk that she takes a pee in front of the cameraman.
21. After a very boozy night out, a wasted girl is helped from a cab into her hotel:
22. A drunk girl staggers out of a beer tent on St Patricks Day and stumbles home with the help of her friend, banging her head on the way:
23. Two very drunk young Russian women leave a Christmas party and attempt to stagger home, battling the slippery streets that are treacherous with ice, and their own wobbly legs:
Drunk Girls -20C
24. An extremely drunk couple can barely walk after a boozy evening
25. Two very drunk girls stagger home from a night out, zig-zagging their way along the pavement:

The Playground in the Park "Re-Imagined" project was the result of a partnership between the Rotary Club of East Lansing and the City of East Lansing. The new, 1.2-acre playground features a modern, eco-friendly design that is fully accessible and supports youth fitness. The playgrounds includes a wide variety of colorful play equipment, a poured-in-place playground surface, a rain garden, a brick entry plaza, walkways and much more. It officially opened on Aug. 4, 2014.
The community was involved in the design phase of the playground project and more than 300 volunteers were involved in assembling the playground as part of the Community Build over a three-day period in June 2014.
Check out photos from the Community Build on the City's Facebook page: PHOTO ALBUM 1 and PHOTO ALBUM 2.
It's Not Too Late to Purchase a Brick Paver
It's not too late to support this project. Community members can still purchase a customized "brick paver" and help raise the remaining funds. The bricks will be placed in the proposed welcome plaza that is being designed as part of the project. Proceeds from the sale of the bricks – which are available in two sizes – will be used to pay for the new playground facility. The bricks will be installed in the entry plaza of the playground, with upcoming installation days planned for fall 2014 and spring 2015. How to order a brick paver.
According to MSU Women's Basketball Coach Suzy Merchant, the project is "an investment in our children and the future."

Heavy Rain Preview
I'm sat on my sofa, brushing my teeth. Or rather I'm shaking the Sixaxis up and down as my on screen character, architect Ethan Mars, brushes his teeth. After the teeth are done, I take a leak, wash my hands and have a shower. Sound a bit too much like real life? Well, it really isn't.Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain is, I suspect, going to divide gamers. There will be some who see the multi-character adventure (you play as four different protagonists) as nothing more than a console version of a point and click, with pretty visuals and an over-emphasis on QTEs. Equally, there will be others who herald the game for its innovative take on story-telling and its atmosphere. From our time with the preview build of Heavy Rain, we're leaning towards the latter.The game begins with a family scene, as you take control of architect and family man Ethan Hunt who is home alone while the wife and kids are out. This opening section is designed to both introduce you to the controls and to establish a contented a family unit. And we all know, the only reason to establish a contented family unit is to smash it to bits later on. Throughout the prologue scene you'll find yourself getting to grips with the game's unique control scheme which, again, may be divisive.Like in Quantic Dream's earlier release, Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy for you American types), the controls in Heavy Rain are largely focused on the analog sticks. The left stick will move your character's head, while the right stick is your interaction button which you'll need to move in a variety of different ways. Holding the R2 button makes your character walk (in the direction the head is facing) while holding the L2 button displays a selection of your most prominent thoughts, each corresponding to a face button.The gameplay in Heavy Rain is essentially a mixture of contextual right stick movements and quick time events, although far more varied than we saw in Fahrenheit. Some actions will require a simple movement on the right stick, like a brief quarter circle to open a door. Others, however, will be considerably more complex requiring timing and dexterity to achieve. For example, in a later scene in the preview build, in which FBI man Norman Jayden is searching a crime scene for clues, he'll need to climb a steep bank up to the freeway which means pressing and holding a series of face buttons and triggers. There is also an impressive fight scene between another player character, PI Scott Shelby, and a thug which plays out entirely in QTEs. The player will need to time their button presses appropriately to prevent Shelby from taking a pasting and it all unfolds in a scene more frenetic and tense than you would ever expect from a QTE affair. The game also makes use of the Sixaxis' tilt sensors, requiring you to shake the controller in certain sections and it's clear the developer has tried to add variety to the button-matching gameplay.Nevertheless, the controls won't please everyone and we can see the game's camera becoming a bone of contention for some. As the game utilises the right stick for interaction, there is no free-camera option at the player's disposal. Quantic Dream has tried to compensate for this by adding a camera change function to the L1 button, offering a different angle with each press but it's by no means perfect and can become confusing when the camera changes and you find yourself walking in the wrong direction. It also feels a little archaic not to be able to examine the environments at will, which can be frustrating especially in one scene in which we were tasked with gathering evidence dotted around a dark environment. However, there was a point in the preview build where the controls just clicked – I stopped holding the left stick in the appropriate direction when walking (having to suppress all my natural third-person instincts) and simply used taps of the left stick to adjust direction when needed. Things became considerably easier although I suspect some will still find the control system to be a stumbling block.But, to concentrate too much on the controls would do a disservice to the two most impressive aspects of Heavy Rain: story and atmosphere. Even from the few early scenes we played, it's obvious that Quantic Dream has put a lot of effort into crafting the narrative in the game. The pay off for the lack of free look is a game which is very cinematic, using a combination of interesting angles, split-screen techniques and cutscenes to present the action (or the lack of action) in a unique visual style. The story itself seems equally compelling, with a wonderfully dark, foreboding atmosphere surrounding the events and the ever-present threat of the Origami killer. What we found most impressive, however, is the way in which the story branches, changing according to decisions made by the player. We can't give too much away without spoiling the experience, but we'll give you an example from an early scene. Ethan's son Shaun is staying at his father's house and Ethan has been given a strict schedule to follow by the boy's mother. How you follow that schedule has a profound effect on Shaun's mood. You can choose whether to make him do his homework before dinner, when to feed him and when to send him to bed. Do it one way and he'll go to bed a happy boy, whereas if you choose the wrong options (or the right options, depending on your point of view) he'll storm off in a right old mood. This is just one simple, seemingly inconsequential moment of choice and there are much more thought-provoking moments in the preview build. It's clear Heavy Rain is going to be a game that requires multiple playthroughs to get the most out of it and we're very much looking forward to getting our hands on the full game*.*For those about to ask about the visuals, "stunning" is the answer. And those loading screens…

Recently, a beloved relative of mine, a spirited healthcare-aversive octogenarian, met with a doctor who suggested that, at his advanced age, he ought to consider having a bone density scan performed on his body."Why would I need that?" he demanded."It will tell us whether or not you have brittle bones," his physician answered. "Then we'll know if you're at risk of breaking something if you fall."He hesitated for at least three seconds before delivering his tart response: "I'm 89 years old. Of course I have brittle bones. I don't need a bone density scan to tell me that."My mind kept returning to this little scenario while I reviewed the latest news from the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation and its Choosing Wisely campaign. Launched in 2011 and partnering with organizations like Consumer Reports and AARP, the campaign claims that common screening tests are performed on too many people and often produce false positive results, which may lead to "unneeded invasive procedures, medications and even surgeries." Among the tests identified by Choosing Wisely as overused are annual Pap smears, routine EKGs and stress tests, colonoscopies past age 75, regular PSA tests for detecting prostate cancer and the PET scan for diagnosing Alzheimer's."It's still a profound problem," said Karen Batory, vice president of public health and medical education for the Texas Medical Association, which has firmly jumped on the Choosing Wisely bandwagon and accepted a $50,000 grant from the ABIM Foundation "to spread the message and get conversations started." Batory calls Choosing Wisely "an innovative program that's physician-led and evidence-based," and says the Tarrant County Medical Board and Dallas County Medical Board are among those participating in North Texas.Just to be clear: This isn't a case of watchdog groups accusing doctors of overtesting unwilling patients or mindlessly pursuing inappropriate interventions. The message is that sometimes patients request tests and treatments that aren't medically necessary and may not be in their best interests, and that physicians, trying to cover all possible bases, may struggle with decisions about which tests and procedures to prescribe. In addition, sometimes people consult multiple doctors about different health concerns, and Batory says "coordination of care" can be an issue when different doctors prescribe drugs for different conditions that might counteract one another.With the help of groups like the TMA, the Choosing Wisely campaign is continuing efforts on a national level to educate physicians and the general public about the more-harm-than-good aspects of commonly overused interventions. "It started with about nine specialty medical groups being involved, and now there are about 50," Batory noted. "These doctors had to get together and discuss what tests were necessary, and which weren't, and come to a consensus. That's an extremely important dialogue."Some specifics:• Nuclear stress tests and imaging tests following heart proceduresHeart patients often seek reassurances following bypass surgeries and other procedures, but the Choosing Wisely campaign notes that running these tests annually or every couple of years without new symptoms rarely results in treatment changes, and officials with the American College of Cardiology say more testing frequently leads to invasive procedures and excess radiation without improving an individual's health. • Annual electrocardiograms and exercise stress testsA recent survey of 1,200 people between the ages of 40 and 60 who had never had any symptoms of heart disease found that almost 40 percent had nonetheless had EKGs in the past five years and 12 percent had a stress test. According to Consumer Reports, however, someone who has a low risk of heart disease is 10 times more likely to get a false-positive result from an exercise stress test than have a true problem, and this can lead to heart catheterizations and stents.• X-rays, CT scans and MRIs for lower back painBack pain is so common that an estimated 80 percent of people will experience it during their lives, and we're talking about the excruciating variety rather than the occasional muscle tweak. While most back pain diminishes within a month, MRI imaging tests often lead to other expensive procedures that may not improve the condition or speed recovery, and the AARP reports that people who had an MRI during the first month of back pain were eight times more likely to proceed to a surgical remedy than those who didn't, but there wasn't a correlating speed in relief rates. • The PSA test for prostate cancerThe main issue with this routine screening appears to be its overuse. Estimating that 75 percent of tests showing high PSA levels in men — a marker for prostate cancer — turn out to be false positives, the American Academy of Family Physicians has come out with a recommendation against routine PSA screenings. The American Urological Association still supports the test but says it should be focused on men between the ages of 55 and 69. • Bone density scans for women younger than 65 (and men under 70)For people over age 50 who have mild bone loss, called osteopenia, the expense for repeated bone density testing adds up, and Consumer Reports notes that evidence of benefits from the commonly prescribed drugs is scant. In fact, side effects from the major ones — Fosamax (alendronate) and Boniva (ibandronate) — include heartburn and muscle pain, throat and chest pain, bone loss in the jaw and thigh bone fractures.For more information about Choosing Wisely, visit Consumerhealthchoices.org, or check out the Texas Medical Association's Choosing Wisely page at www.texmed.org/choosingwisely/.
Do you need that test?
According to the ABIM Foundation's Choosing Wisely campaign and about 50 affiliated medical groups that have partnered with or aligned their efforts with it, medical tests such as MRIs and CT scans (often called CAT scans) for conditions ranging from headaches to back pain are routinely and unnecessarily prescribed — doing more harm than good and wasting billions of healthcare dollars.
A 2011 study estimated that 12 commonly overused tests cost consumers $6.8 billion in a year's time, and according to a report in Scientific American, researchers at the National Cancer Institute estimated that 29,000 future cancer cases could be attributed to the 72 million CT scans performed nationwide in 2007. Experts say there are a lot of conversations that prospective patients and their doctors should be having before testing and treatment are pursued.
Antibiotics, C-sections and more
In support of the ABIM Foundation's Choosing Wisely initiative to reduce unnecessary or harmful treatments and tests, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is one of close to 50 physicians groups making cautionary recommendations regarding doing-more-harm-than-good tests and procedures. Some items included on the AAFP's list of 15 Choosing Wisely recommendations are:
• Not routinely prescribing antibiotics for mild-to-moderate sinusitis or for children ages 2-12 without severe symptoms.
• Not requiring a pelvic or physical exam for women seeking oral contraceptive medications.
• Not screening adolescents for scoliosis; not conducting routine EKGs and other cardiac screenings for low-risk patients.
• Not conducting DEXA bone density scans for osteoporosis on women under age 65.
• Not doing MRIs or CT scans for lower back pain within the first six weeks unless red flags are present.
• Not scheduling elective induction of labor or C-section deliveries before 39 weeks, and avoiding it between 39 and 41 weeks unless the cervix is deemed favorable.

Health Tip: Keep Teeth Healthy During Pregnancy
(HealthDay News) -- Regular dental checkups and proper daily hygiene are important during pregnancy.
The American Dental Association (ADA) offers these suggestions for pregnant women:
Use an ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth at least twice daily. Floss teeth at least once daily, as well.
Eat healthy, nutritious foods and keep snacking on sugary or fatty foods to a minimum.
Get regular dental checkups.
Talk to your dentist about using an antimicrobial mouth rinse.
Discuss any problems with your dentist, such as gums that bleed, swell or become red.
If you have morning sickness, rinse your mouth with a mixture of one teaspoon of baking soda and water. Avoid brushing just after vomiting to prevent contact of more stomach acids with the teeth.

Drifter 2 in action
Had it out twice now and no complaints thus far (I'll update if anything comes up). Camped out right on a bluff, got pretty windy, rained, and sounded like I was in a monsoon- I initially had my doubts, but to my surprise, the tent stayed dry, fly didn't budge, and I slept like a baby. Props to Mountain Hardware- I'll update as I get more experience in it.
Katie Bradbury
Absolutely Amazing for the price
I use this tent for work for most of the year (minus late November to mid February) and it is absolutely amazing. It has been though many of major thunderstorms, wind storms, extreme heat, cold weather, persistent rain storms, and abuse from wild horses - and is still as good as new. It's a great tent for one person with gear, and is a tight squeeze to fit two in with all of their gear. It's super easy to set up and take down but I would recommend getting some better stakes and the footprint - it is worth the extra $$$$. This tent does take a bit of room out of or off of your pack, so if you want a small tent you should go for something else. The BD 4-season series are really nice but death in any degree of heat.
Nathaniel Satcher

This tent comes with a stuff sack, but it doesn't compress it down too much. What would be a good compression/stuff sack to use with this tent?
Phil Maher
Hey Nathaniel,
Yeah it would be this or the Granite Gear Rock Solid if you don't need the eVent. Since they're already treated, tents don't really require anything "waterproof", but that's a personal call. Save this one for clothing and your bag. Both are my long-term favorites though, for whatever that's worth to you.
Almost everything I was looking for
I was in search of a two person tent and had my choice narrowed down to this one or the REI Passage 2. I had certain criteria and while neither tent hit at 100%, this one edged out the competition and I am very happy with it.
That being said, this tent is heavier than listed. I weighed everything on a digital kitchen scale, it comes in over 5 pounds before the footprint. I guess if you don't count the bags and maybe leave off half the stakes you can get to the 4lb 11 oz weight listed.
I am able to roll the tent and fly to a size of
12" x 6", so it packs down very nicely. In the stuff sack, the weight was 3lb 15oz.
The poles are 19.5" long max, and that is only 2 sections, the rest of the pole sections are just under 19", so they easily find room inside my pack. I actually called Mountain Hardware before I bought this to get the dimensions for the poles because all sites say it has a packed size of 7" x 26". With stakes in the bag, they weigh 1lb 5oz. Footprint is 10oz.
Now, more about the tent itself. It says the floor is 50" wide, but I guess with the rolled bathtub style floor you lose some, because I could not get mine and my wife's sleeping pad in there without overlap. They have a combined width of 46", so thy should fit on a 50" floor.
I love the second door and vestibule, and as I will be using this primarily for myself, I like having space to keep my pack and being able to access it while still having another door to get in and out of. So far I have only had it out in winter, but the top half should provide ample ventilation once warmer weather gets here. I look forward to using it without the rain fly. There is good ventilation with the fly, but after a cold night, there will be condensation inside the fly. The tent stays dry though. The loft has plenty of space for sunglasses, flashlight, cell phone, whatever you don't want broken or in the way. The side pockets are good for keeping the tent bags and other small things off the floor and organized. The zippers are easy to use even with gloves on, and the drawbacks for the door and fly are great.
The only problem with the tent is that it would be quite cramped for two people. I will probably end up getting this same tent in a 3 person version for when my wife goes with me, because I do like everything about it. I wish it was a bit lighter, but at the end of the day on the trail, there isn't much difference from a 45 pound pack to a 44 pound pack.
Plus, with the lifetime warranty from Mountain Hardware, and the lowest price guarantee from backcountry.com, how could you possibly go wrong?
Home Sweet Home
This tent just ROCKS!Extremely easy to set up and take down. Spent 2 weeks on the rivers in upper lower Michigan....it rained. then it poured a while, then just cloudy and cold. But "Hey!" we were on the RIVER and having a blast!! This tent kept me dry and warm. Now for you bigger guys like me....this is a one person tent....I know it says 2....don't believe it unless you are from the land of Oz. Vestibules are great and keep your gear dry. Fantastic tent!
Jody Conant
Good purchase
Light weight, compactable, easy to set up good quality (especially for the price).
Great value
I had quite a few requirements when looking for a 2-person backpacking tent, but the most important were that it was roomy, light, and waterproof.
The first time I used my tent it started to rain early in the evening and it poured buckets all night long. The tent was bone-dry, and all my gear in the vestibule was dry too.
I am very pleased with this tent.

Does this tent come with a stuff sack?

Sony exec confirms PS3 will get Blu-ray Profile 1.1 this month
Sony's PlayStation 3 will this month be updated to allow it to support Blu-ray Disc Profile 1.1 - the version of the optical disc spec that enables picture-in-picture. The claim was made this week by senior Sony executive Don Eklund, who oversees Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's technology policy, including Blu-ray Disc …
Glad it's only 256Mb of ram and not anything more. I think this could become an issue for the PS3 owners if BR2.0 needs more.. We'll have to see, and I for one am kind of happy with the current BR setup (as I am with the HD-DVD setup).
So, more features for free? Bring it on :o)
...I wonder if Paris would get a version upgrade? Maybe a MOD for extra sleazyness?? he he!
Picture in Picture!!
This was on DVD's so why has it taken so long to come to Blu-Ray?
I remember watching a video commentary on Mallrats Special Edition.. (im pretty sure I did anyhow) and that was about 4+ years ago.
Re: Picture in Picture!!
PiP on DVD worked by having a second copy of the film with the picture in. Lots of extra space taken up. It was also pretty rare.
PiP on Blu-Ray and HD DVD works by having a second video decoder in the player that can decode two streams at once, overlaying the "in picture" stream on the main film. Along with a load of other interactive features.
However the real point here is HD DVD has had this since day 1. Why on earth people are backing an incomplete format like Blu-Ray is beyond me. Many people may not even be able to upgrade their players, or if they can have updated firmware the player may not have the hardware to support it! Crazy.
What we have now is quite a lot of HD DVD's already have PiP commentaries and interactive features (which are quite enjoyable), and yet at present only 1 (yes '1') Blu-Ray title has this feature... and that's only available in Germany, and can only be played on pretty much zero players at present, and probably just the PS3 when the firmware is updated. Even then the PS3 still isn't Profile 2.0 which has Internet features and yet again HD DVD has had this all along!
Yeah, go pick the format that's incomplete, has more DRM restrictions, costs more, and is region coded... all because it's Sony and has a "cool" name. Dumb.
This 'war' isn't about who wins, it's just about the consumer losing ultimately, thanks to a stubborn company that didn't want to play with the rest of the kids.
Re: Picture in Picture!!
"I remember watching a video commentary on Mallrats Special Edition.. (im pretty sure I did anyhow) and that was about 4+ years ago."
I'm hoping that was a video of Kevin Smith holding his head his hands, mumbling, muttering "what have I done?" and apologising through much of the movie.
@tim - PiP big deal
I own players for both formats and to be honest I really can't get that excited about PiP. I'd hardly call Blu-Ray an incomplete format just because Profile 1.0 doesn't support it. As far as I'm concerned I just want to watch the feature and that probably applies to 90% of folk.
As far as DRM restrictions are concerned, the sponsors for both formats will try to get away with as much DRM as is humanly possible so I'd hardly go choosing a format based on how much DRM is implemented.
Having now owned both a PS3 and now a Tosh EP30, for a while and watched films on both formats, in reality there isn't really any perceivable difference between the two formats for the majority of folks.
Um....well actually PiP capability is/was part of both standards. PiP has been part of the BluRay standard since day 1 as well, but it was an *optional* part of the standard, players didn't *have* to support it, though they could if the manufacturer wanted to. The reason for BD Profile 1.1 is that PiP is no longer an optional component, and so all new BD players from November onwards must support it.
HD-DVD players manage the PiP trick using two audio/video decoder units in the player. BD Players that are PiP capable will in general use two decoders as well, though the PS3 has the processer power in the Cell to handle it in software instead. BD profile 1.1 simply mandates that manufacturers include this capability
Both BluRay and HD-DVD formats have supported PiP since day one, both standards included the capability. Few if any actual movies have offered PiP capability, so it was pretty much an irrelevant tick mark on the feature list.
BTW one interesting aspect of this is the fact that two data streams are decoded simultaneously. Two streams, each demanding some data bandwidth. BD players offer significantly more data bandwidth than HD-DVD players do. So truly BD players are in a better position to handle the playback of Pip and maintain picture quality. HD-DVD media that supports PiP will have to ensure that the encoding of the main feature and PiP elements are at low enough bit rates to stay within the bandwidth available to HD-DVD players. Otherwise consumers will experience frame drops, skips or freezing. Ick.
The 256MB local memory requirement is in the form of HDD or flash storage and is there to handle storage of media updates. PS3 will be fine, BD profile 2 requires 1GB of this kind of local storage, and PS3 will have no issues there either. The only other difference with Profile 2.0 compared to 1.1 is the requirement for an Internet connection. Again PS3 should have no issues. That said, I am still not convinced that having Internet connectivity on your HD-DVD or BluRay player is of any use to anyone except the manufacturer being able to sent firmware updates.
And this is why..
....i can't yet fully support BR as there are many other "standards" not yet standard that existing players may not be firmware upgradeable to handle.
This is the ace card that HD DVD holds, standard from the outset, the only possible flaw being HD51 discs, though there is no confirmation that they will or will not work on existing players....
I guess this was one way to artificially lower the price of early Blu-Ray players compared to HD-DVD.

The A-List Go 'Alkaline' — The Diet Everyone Is Raving About
All about the diet Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Aniston, and Gwyneth Paltrow's swear by.
Move aside Atkins and South Beach.There's a new diet fad taking over Tinseltown: The Alkaline Diet.
Sure, the name sounds more like something for batteries than weight loss, but it's actually way more normal than some of the other diet trends made popular by Tinsletown's tiniest (Beyonce's cayenne cleanse comes to mind).
Marjorie Nolan, RD, an American Dietetic Association spokeswoman agrees: "It's a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, plenty of water, avoiding processed foods, coffee, and alcohol, which are all recommendations for a generally healthy diet anyway," Nolan told WebMD.
While there aren't any gimmicks, this diet does take some discipline. Not surprisingly, stars known for their healthy diets, including Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston are among the A-listers who swear by the Alkaline Diet.
The plan is based on the idea that maintaining an ideal pH level is necessary for optimum overall health, and your pH level -- which determines how acidic of alkaline you are -- is determined by what you eat. Based on that premise, the goal of the diet is to maintain an ideal pH level of 7.35 to 7.45 by limiting acidic foods to just 30 percent of your diet and loading up on high-alkaline food -- aka mostly fresh fruit and veggies. Alkaline-promoting foods, including soy products, certain nuts, grains, and legumes, are also okay.
The bad news? Acid-promoting foods such as meat, fish, poultry, and dairy products are prohibited. In other words, prepare to go quasi-vegetarian. Also not allowed are sugary and processed foods, as well as caffeine, all of which are considered highly acidic.
Still, the science behind the diet's claims isn't clear. A 2012 report, published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health gave the diet mixed reviews for its effectiveness. While Nolan concedes the plan is pretty healthy overall, she isn't convinced of the pH-balancing premise behind the diet.
"Our body regulates our pH between 7.35 and 7.45 no matter how we eat," Nolan told WebMD. "Clinical studies have proved without a doubt that people who eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and hydrate properly do have lower rates of cancer and other diseases, but it probably has nothing to do with blood pH."
While the diet may not have science supporting its claims, it continues to have Hollywood's backing. Beckham even makes her family healthy meals from the Alkaline cookbook, Honestly Healthy.
"Love this healthy eating cookbook!! X," the wife of soccer star David Beckham tweeted on Jan. 11, along with a picture of Honestly Healthy.

Revell B-1B Lancer
The B-1B Lancer is the largest free world aircraft yet built to use a variable-geometry, or movable wing, which is designed to provide maximum aircraft performance.

With the retirement of the EF-111 Raven in 1998 and the F-14 Tomcat in 2006, the B-1B is the last variable wing aircraft remaining in U.S. military inventory. New technology has given the B-1B a radar profile only one hundredth that of the larger B-52, allowing it to sneak under enemy radar beams, hugging the ground under the control of an automatic terrain avoidance guidance system. The B-1B is well designed for survivability and operational efficiency. It can withstand the effects of a nearby nuclear blast and take-off quickly, even if under attack. Detailed cockpit, main landing gear and nose radar plus movable swing wings and tail planes. Optional open or closed bomb bay doors with 16 AGM-69A SRAM missiles on rotary launchers.

The US Air Forceãs only serving variable-sweep wing aircraft is the B-1 Lancer bomber. The futuristic design was originally conceived in order to create a long-range, low-level, supersonic penetrator bomber that could deliver nuclear weapons. Built by Rockwell, the B-1B Lancer appeared in 1986, and it has now been converted to conventional bomber missions. The ãBoneã (the name is taken from its designation B-One) is a long-time supporter of missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since 2003, the B-1B has helped deliver conventional bombs against targets in Iraq. A typical bomb load includes the GBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), a weapon that was heavily used in Iraq. Indeed, the B-1B was used on April 7, 2003 in an attempt to bomb Saddam Hussein and his two sons into oblivion. At the height of Operation Iraqi Freedom, a B-1 was permanently on station to provide a rapid precision bombardment capability. Today a total of 67 Lancers remain in service. Dragon Warbirds has produced a 1/400 scale model of this advanced bomber. This model is a brand new tooling, with the fuselage made of die-cast metal. The fuselage has then been mated to the plastic injection-molded wings and landing gear. Of interest, the variable-sweep wings are set in their rearmost ãsweptã position for high-speed flight. In keeping with is high-speed configuration, the bomb bay is depicted as closed to preserve the sleek aerodynamics of this bomber. The lines and details of the B-1B Lancer are accurately replicated. As the Dragon Warbirds range experiences a resurgence, this new offering is a dynamic and impressive model well worth adding to collections.

Revell 1:48 B-58 Hustler
The Convair B-58 Hustler is one of the most unique aircraft in military service. Not only is it strikingly different in appearance, but it is the fastest bomber in the Strategic Air Command history. It set several international speed records, some still standing today. "Ginger", was one of the operational test vehicles, based at Edwards Air Force Base, California. On October 15, 1959, it became the first plane to sustain Mach 2 flight, flying between Seattle, Washington and Carswell AFB, Texas, in 70 minutes, averaging nearly 1,320 mph. In October 1963, "Greased Lightning", flew from Tokyo to London in 8 hours, 35 minutes, averaging 938 mph. However, on the last leg, one of the afterburners failed, reducing its overall speed. It is one of the few surviving Hustlers, and is now on display at the SAC Museum in Ashland, Nebraska. Skill Level 2 Scale: 1/48 Length: 26-1/16" Wingspan: 14" Parts: 125

Revell Boeing C-17 Globemaster III
The Globemaster III is a truly gargantuan transport craft, capable of carrying a combat-ready Abrams, multiple Strykers or Humvees, or up to 102 fully-equipped paratroopers. It can carry those troopers up to nearly 6,500 miles (10,390 km). That's literally a quarter of the way around the earth; a flight that, at the C-17A's cruise speed, would take roughly 12-1/2 hours. It's a plane that is well-deserving of its own model and Revell delivers! This kit features a fully-detailed C-17A with decals.

Dragon Models 1/400 C-5C Galaxy 22nd Airlift Squadron 60th Air Mobility Wing Travis AFS (Military)
As well as the famous C-130 Hercules, Lockheed Martin also built the much larger C-5 Galaxy. As one of the largest military aircraft in the world, this American strategic transport aircraft is capable of intercontinental flight. Its design features high wings and a T-tail. The US Air Force (USAF) has operated the C-5A Galaxy since 1969, with the modernized C-5B appearing in 1986. A total of 131 aircraft were built, of which around 33 remain in active service. The Galaxyãs cavernous interior is accessed via a large nose hatch or from a rear ramp, with the body able to contain 880mô° of cargo. However, to better transport large-sized cargo, two aircraft were especially modified by removing the rear passenger compartment floor and splitting the rear cargo door in the middle. These so-called C-5C versions are able to accommodate odd-sized loads such as satellites for NASA. These two USAF C-5C Galaxy aircraft are based at Travis Air Force Base in California at the disposal of NASA. Dragon Warbirds newest item shows one of these C-5C aircraft. It is finished in the colors and markings of the 22nd Airlift Wing. The die-cast model is beautifully finished with sharp panel lines and well-defined markings. For the ultimate transport aircraft, this C-5C model is hard to beat. Fully assembled Quality construction Highly detailed Display ready Accurate markings and insignia

Husker fans are likely familiar with the Twitter work of @FauxPelini. The man behind the tweets is stepping it up a notch.
You've seen the infamous image of Coach Bo Pelini walking out of the tunnel of the spring game carrying a cat. It was the coach's way of playfully responding to the fake Twitter account of him.
The picture shows a Photoshopped image of the coach in a sweater holding the cat.
We interviewed the man behind the fake Pelini account, keeping a lid on his anonymity. He's signed a football along with Coach Pelini to auction for Legal Aid of Nebraska.
We asked Faux Pelini if he's going to sign the football with a paw print.
He said, "Willing to paw print, crazy comment, inappropriate something or another. If someone wants to pay to win the thing, we'll figure that out.
"I'm really just a passenger on this but happy to help out. And help publicize it through the Tweets."
The idea came from the organizer of the auction. You can bid on the football through the end of the month on eBay. Click here.

Germany Wins World Cup In O.T.
In case you are truly living under a rock, the World Cup has been going on for the last month. Germany pulled out a dramatic victory over Argentina on Sunday afternoon on the strength of a Mario Götze strike in the 113th minute. It is the nation's fourth World Cup title and now America can go back to ignoring soccer for the next four years.

President Obama dropped by a BBQ joint on Thursday. When a cashier demanded equal rights for gay people, perhaps the greatest comedic exchange ever recorded between a sitting U.S. president and a gay man occurred.
The Voodoo Of Lobster Economics
We are in the midst of an epic lobster season. In fact, so much lobster had been landed in Nova Scotia that by the second week of June, prices on the docks dropped to $3.50 a pound. But no matter what, you're not going to see cheaper lobster. It's still going to cost you $60 to impress your date with that plate of crustacean. Why? Because the logistics of preparing, storing, shipping and cooking that lobster add up quickly. Follow Larry the Lobster on his journey from pot to plate and see how it all adds up. Fun fact: Larry has two penises.

I was wondering if anyone has input on Sagra, which opened in the space previously housing Mars?
I started a link when it first opened but mistakenly mispelled the name as "Sangra." A few mixed reviews so far:
I ate there a few weeks back and was pretty unimpressed, The highlight was the beet salad, which was a special and quite good. I ordered the Cappellini alla Marinara. How hard can it be to make pasta with tomatoes, basil, and parmesan? The pasta was incredibly overcooked and whatever the glob of tomato stuff was on top of it was not good. I didn't eat it and don't think I'll be making a return visit. Husband had a pizza and said it was "fine".
We just tried it today for a company b-day lunch. Mixed reviews. I had the eggplant parmesan which was highly recommended by the waiter but disappointing. It was three rather thin slices of breaded eggplant with cheese "toasted" on top and served on a "bed" of cold chunky tomato sauce. They need to warm the plates and the sauce. Nothing else served with it - no pasta, which seemed to surprise everyone - and it was $13. The flavor actually wasn't bad but the cold sauce and small serving size left even me, a smallish person, feeling unsatisfied. The Arugula salad was overpowered by salt in both the gorgonzola and pancetta - so much so that it took away from the flavor completely. A companion had the Penne Arrabiata and it was better but still more salty than flavorful - except for the very strong garlic (and I like garlic). A co-worker had the Pannini of the Day (meatball) which she said was very good. Another co-worker had the Lasagnetta which he said was good. Coffee and desserts also mixed. Cappucino was forgetable, the french press coffee good and desserts rated well - one chocolate cake with blood orange sauce and one cookie plate with mixed cookies.
Their menu says they strive to use local/organic produce when possible which is a great plus to me.
I'll give it a second chance as many items on the menu did sound interesting.
I went with a group of four last night abd could not be more disappointed. The service started out nice but when a large table came in it became terrible. Our waitress promised desserts would be comped but they never made it. The whole experience took 2hours which would not have been bad had the food been anywhere close to good. We had three different entrees and two appetizers and not one was anywhere close to good.
To say we were disappointed was an understatement. I hope this helps someone refrain from a very unpleasant situation.
re: north austin foodie
What did you order?
re: rudeboy
Pizza Margherita... How do you mess that up.?..Shrimp in a mariana type sauce... Carbonara.. Calamari and mussels.. Not one dish would we have again. I am completely in awe how the statesman could give it the review it did this week...
in a word: no.
i've only been twice, but with the sudden explosion of trattoria style places in town, i can't see a reason to return. the carbonara i had the first time around was quite simply the worst excuse for restaurant fare ever.
i love that building and they've done a good job with the space since Mars was so established. i also like the fact that they went to the trouble of installing a wood-fired pizza oven, but meh.
Mandola's (such that it is) is what Sagra might aspire to be, but based on my first two experiences i don't think they'll even make it to that level.
skip Sagra and try Primizie on E. 11th. simply awesome.
I am suprised to see these reviews. We had dinner at Sagra last Wed nite and thought it was wonderful. Nice bottle of prosecco, bruschetta with salmon and marscapone, carbonara was excellent! Been looking forward to going back. And to say Sagra would aspire to be Mandola's (which was awful imo) made me laugh out loud.
re: RoxieB
Mandola's is awful and that was the point. i actually found it better than Sagra. no big deal, but considering the sudden wealth of trattorias around town, i just don't see the point in Sagra.
i actually went for another visit recently. i did two things just to try it out. first i ordered the carbonara again. and, again, it was the worst i've ever had. then i tried the pizza. the crust was just not good. it was wood-fired, but that's about the only positive thing i could say about it.
simply having good ideas on a menu doesn't cut it. you've got to execute and it was about what i would expect to have a novice foodie's house. just not worth a restaurant. i hope it improves. i'm not out to slam a worthy spot.
We went the second week after it opened. The place was less than half full and they tried to seat us in the covered patio. We asked to be seated inside instead. After they sat us inside we waited for 10 minutes; nobody ever came to take our drink or appetizer order. We got up and walked out. There are to many new italian restaurants to go back to bad service in Sagra.
re: amykragan
Yeah, I saw that too. Interesting thing, though. Super positive, but when you read between the lines, it sound like the only really good thing was the pizza. At least that was my impression of it.
Well, I gave it a try because I was curious. And I have to agree with those who have weighed in on the negative side. It's a cute place, but the food was truly bad. I had the mussels (zuppa di cozze), which were nauseating, and the pizza tartufo, highly recommended by the waitress. It's a kind of stuffed pizza/calzone type thing, and it really tasted bad. I can be kind of picky about Italian food but even with bad Italian food it usually tastes okay. (i.e., my objections are usually that it was inauthentic, too greasy, too many ingredients, etc. etc.) This just tasted bad. No, no, no.
This is kind of an old thread, but we had such a truly awful meal at Sagra last night, I wanted to post somewhere. The service was good, the people were nice. There were seven of us and we were a little cramped up, but it's a cute place.
And then the food came. If it hadn't been xmas eve and we hadn't wanted to make our hostess happy, I think everybody would have sent back their dinners. If this sounds familiar, then you've read my post on citysearch: macceroni al forno that was elbows swimming in tepid cream covered with dry bread crumbs; butternut-squash lasagna that tasted like bad pumpkin pie (might have been ok as a small carby side dish); calamari that was like fish gum; linguini with clam sauce that was actually nauseating. I had the seven-seas special that was ok until we dug into the salmon at the center. It was so overdone it was chewy. The desserts were fine. The wine was nice. I wouldn't go back.

Want to try something fun? Raise your very own created VARIATUS PLATIES!
After you set up your 20 gal. tank, and it is well established, buy 1 male swordtail and 3 female platies. After they breed and have babies the babies will be what is known as VARIATUS PLATIES!
I like to experment by buying each fish a different color so each baby batch is different colored. Then you can male/female pairs of the raised fish off and breed to each other for even more interesting colors and shapes. You'll always have fish, and you'll get some beautiful ones at that! Have Fun!

What if your boyfriend likes it when you're barefoot?
lets say you have a boyfriend, and said boyfriend has a thing for seeing you barefoot. he's not weird about it or anything, he just gets a little turned on after your shoes come off. then one day you guys are getting ready to go down to the mini mart to get some stuff and he hints that he thinks it would be really cool if you left your shoes and went in your bare feet? personally I didn't mind so I went along with it because the weather was nice. but how often would you do this for him? I think its kind of a cute thing that he likes my feet, but I don't want the novelty to wear off or for him to get "too" used to be doing this.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
it's no weirder than someone wanting you to wear high heels and be physically vulnerable that way. it's essentially the same thing (and probably more comfortable, even though strangely less socially acceptable). my guess is that if you do it occasionally *without* him asking (which can be when you feel up to it), he will be satisfied, more turned on that you chose to do it knowing he likes it, and probably not ask you to do it very often. it will probably also make him more turned on later in bed, plus he will feel closer emotionally since you decided to indulge him in what he likes after sharing this with you, just fyi.
What Guys Said 6
If he really has a fetish, it will never get old.You can always tease him by dangling your shoes off of your feet, by curling your toes in front him, or sliding your toes across his lips... You'll know by his reaction how very much your feet turn him on, and that he never gets "used to it"!
its a foot fetish. a lot of guys have a foot fetish, its the most common one I think. I don't have one, but going barefeet is definitely sexier than socks. I mean I think you should do it for him as long as its not outrageous and if the grocery store isn't that far its not outrageous. If you fulfill his needs he will fulfill yours.
Nothing wrong with it. I like bare feet too, but a "fetish" is only actually called a fetish if it interferes with a person having a normal sex life, otherwise it's just a turn-on, or preference. If he stops wanting to have sex and just wants to unload on your feet, that would be a problem. Other than that, just enjoy the bare foot freedom.

"The photo quality on the cards was excellent, and the design just beautiful. It's a shame to have to post them! The cards were delivered very quickly, too."
"Loved these announcements that I bought to send out for the birth of my little girl. I really liked the flower frame. I also really like that the announcement was 'completed' by having a matching back. Would definitely recommend. Shipping, however, was very slow and arrived two days later than the expected delivery date, even though I paid extra for fast shipping."
"The photo we picked has very vibrant colors and I was not disappointed in the print quality at all. Everything was as bright and cheery as promised (: My only regret is that I didn't have more made. Going for round two so I can send a few more of these out."
"This is the most unique card with beautiful colors! We used the card for our second son's birth announcement and received so many compliments! This is my second time ordering from tiny prints and I will continue to do so. The cards are such great quality!"

Degree Certificate Fake
Degree Certificate Fake
Fake degree certificates are of no value at all as they are identified with no trouble at all and if that happened your career will be ruined. Over the years they have developed a true expertise in developing the highest quality custom replicated documents. If you are considering buying a fake diploma, there are many sites available that offer a fake degree but what I found out while trying to get my hands on a fake college degree myself is that most of these sites will not offer the product that you require, so read this fake diploma review carefully before making your purchase.

Going to start a flame war on that question..
In my opinion, while learning the fight, its better for you to be able to take 2 hits from Vezax and live...imo that likely means EH.
Yes, alternating shield-wall and last stand (with harder heals/hand of sac) makes it doable every minute. Last stand coupled with GS (will be off CD in time) is plenty as well...larger HP and stronger heals is great.
Not kiting the surge amplifies your DPS and steadies the fight, makes it much easiar in my opinion. I have not yet tanked 10man, but I'm going to try and not kite tonight.
