Quite true, and that's my point. The implication was so, perhaps owing to poor copy editing. But if the truth of the matter was that it took four days and four nights over a three-week period (for example), I could accept that statement without challenging its veracity.

Well they didn't say that the 4 days and nights were consecutive did they?

Sorry folks, but the math doesn't work out on this one. The Telegraph "making-of" piece states that it took four days and nights to film 606 takes. OK, that means about 150 takes per day. There are 1440 minutes in a day. That comes out to a little less than 10 minutes per take, average, over four days and nights.
Now, some of the bungled takes maybe could be reset within that timeframe, but not after more than two or three segments of the contraption were involved.
Besides, the article also said an inadvertent trigger would undo "hours" of work.
So, what is it, boys? Did the filming take more than four days, or were there fewer than 600 takes involved, or was the final piece integrated in post-production from multiple takes? Check the math.

If they did it once, they can do it again. Something like this is repeatable once you figure out all the gotchas, sort of like those trick pool shots, you can do it over and over but the failure rate is going to be fairly high. It isn't anything to get obsessed over or watch over and over again but when you see it the first time you have to say, "Hey, cool."
I will admit, though, that turning turkey processing waste into light crude is much more cooler to me, still I'm only going to be impressed by the operation once.

This whole thing has been bothering me. I do not understand why its of interest. To me its simply a coincidence - like any other coincidence - a random event. (If it was real) It worked once out of 606 times - is that so wonderful?
Better that they had shown mastery of the science, and made it repeatable, and had gotten the whole process under control, like melting metal or refining oil, or somethin'. That would have impressed me. This impresses me: http://www.discover.com/may_03/gthere.html?article=featoil.html
But a random, not really repeatable event - I don't understand.

Diane.. You could run naked through the streets of Chattanooga instead. :)
As for those of you who say it's not real, and contend that the parts do not move realisticaly, lets take a couple of Honda's apart and see what we can make happen.
#Comment made: 2003-04-20 10:53:09.955395-07 by: ziffle
The articles are clear - but -- it still seems to me to be not real - kind of a 'ray tracing' thingy - and have marketing departments ever enhanced a story? - lets look back in a couple of years and see if an alternate truth about this emerges - at least Diane will have already fullfilled her bet if it runs out to be cgi. <g>

Go read the articles. They had to do some funky weighting of the tires that roll up the ramp, and there were a few other places where things were done to give objects non-obvious behavior.

I'm not ready to say that it was stop-gap or computerized, but I have to agree with ziffle a little bit. I didn't look to me like all the parts moved as I would expect them to under normal circumstances. (But then no modern video runs smoothly on my 500Mhz K6-2 any more...)
#Comment made: 2003-04-19 14:35:44.938605-07 by: Diane Reese
Have it your way, Ziffle, but you're wrong. (We already mentioned that the seam in the two parts is in the middle of the muffler-rolling sequence. Did you read the two news stories from the UK press?) Beauty and precision, that's what it is: and it's fantastic. It makes me want to proclaim joy throughout the land.
If I'm wrong and it turns out to be computer-generated, I'll walk naked through San Francisco next month. (Oh. Wait. That's Bare to Breakers, oops, sorry, I'm already going to be doing that... we'll have to think up something else.)

Well - I watched it several times - its not real - the change in momentum of the parts, the rolling of the muffler, and more, -- its a stop-motion or computer generated is more likely...

One of the first comments from a member of the high school robotics team when I showed this to them at yesterday's meeting was, "Wow, think of the hours of math they had to do ahead of time!" Indeed.

Oh my god, this is beautiful.
Ziffle, Claymation is stop-motion; you put the figure in one position, take a picture, change its pose a little, take another picture, etc. This is a working Rube Goldberg machine using gravity etc, and precise placement of objects. Just the planning involved in this (and the patience!) makes me go wow.

I think that 606 (or however many it was) takes and not having a homicide involved is as amazing as the actual short.

Ziffle. You are JADED.. If that's real. It's amazing that they got it to work. But getting stoned or tripping is not a bad idea. :)

Well I watched it and really don't see what all the fuss is about. Should I get stoned first?
#Comment made: 2003-04-17 15:28:24.365098-07 by: Diane Reese
Right. There's a seam in the middle where the muffler is rolling along the floor. They didn't have a room big enough for the whole thing. (But each of the two sides of that seam are unedited.)

Digital mapping in Sana'a
An estimated YR20 billion, or $93 million, has been dedicated to developing municipal infrastructure in Sana'a, including building bridges, sanitation facilities and paving streets.
Half of that YR20 billion will be used building something less concrete, but perhaps just as important for future development—a digital map of the city.
Waleed Rase, the projects coordinator in the capital secretariat, imagines that mapping the city will lead to full scale improvements in Sana'a. It will provide a much-needed comprehensive database, including names and locations of streets, traffic circles, administrative buildings and schools.
The digital map will aid later developments, hopefully meeting the needs of residents, said Rase.
These projects represent two years worth of the YR10 billion earned by the secretariet from taxation and revenues, Najeeb Al-Hadad, the general manager of the financial resources in Sana'a, told the Yemen Times.
Much of the development implemented by the capital secretariat is implemented by the state. However, the city's digital mapping will be carried out by the municipality.
Abdulraqeeb Ata, the manager of the public works office, was optimistic about the project.
This project will make Yemenis proud of their capital city, he said.

Will scandal unplug Letterman's career?
Talk-show host David Letterman got out ahead of a sex scandal by breaking the news himself, telling viewers Thursday that he had sexual relations with some women he worked with.
The Washington Post
Other scandals
Other entertainment figures have survived their brush with scandal. Hugh Grant, after being busted with a prostitute, famously had to answer Jay Leno's question: "What the hell were you thinking?" Marv Albert was fired as an NBC sportscaster after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges of biting and assaulting a longtime girlfriend, but he was hired back less than two years later.
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — Talk-show host David Letterman got out ahead of a sex scandal by breaking the news himself, telling viewers Thursday that he had sexual relations with some women who, by the way, happened to work for him. And while the CBS host seems to have been the victim of an extortion plot, he also instantly has become a 62-year-old married man with an image problem.
For a man who makes his living mocking such ripe targets as philandering politicians, "Every time he cracks one of those jokes, you'll look at him in a different way, won't you?" former CBS and NBC producer Steve Friedman said.
Letterman, who has been doing late-night comedy since 1982, has never marketed himself as a choirboy, but admitting he had sex with subordinates leaves a whole lot of unanswered questions. He was awkward on Thursday's show, veering between angst and subdued humor, as he described the "scary" ordeal of trying to protect himself, his family, the women — and his job.
Ken Sunshine, a public-relations specialist, downplayed the professional fallout for Letterman: "He didn't murder anybody. He was extorted. It's consenting adults. Nobody's accusing him of rape. This is shoplifting, maybe. ... Unless someone accuses him of using his position to forcibly come on to some of the women, to me, it's none of my damn business."
Michael Sitrick, a Los Angeles publicist, said the public "is more forgiving of someone in the entertainment business" than elected officials. "He had sex with women in the office, and there will be some people upset about this, but I'm not sure his audience really is. If a woman had said, 'Look, I worked for him, I kept resisting but I was afraid I'd lose my job,' it would be different."
In an era when political sex scandals have become a front-page staple — John Edwards, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, to name a few — Letterman's dalliances might be brushed off as commonplace. And by framing the story with himself as the victim — CBS News producer Robert "Joe" Halderman was charged in a $2 million extortion plot Friday — he avoided the drip-drip-drip of incremental disclosures.
But the puzzle has missing pieces. Did Stephanie Birkitt, 34, a Letterman assistant who later moved in with Halderman, get a prominent on-air role because of a relationship with the comedian? Who are the other women? Did any feel pressured by Letterman?
"He's being treated differently because he's a favorite of the press," said Tobe Berkovitz, an associate professor of communication at Boston University. The liberal-leaning media, Berkowitz said, "are cutting him slack they wouldn't if it was a CEO or a senator. It's still abusing your role as a boss." While there may be some sympathy for Letterman because of the extortion scheme, he added, "he's being blackmailed for something he really did do."
Radio host Don Imus struck a harsher note, telling Fox News that Letterman is "an angry, mean-spirited jerk."
Friedman sees a bumpy ride ahead. With journalists pouncing on numerous affairs by politicians, he said, "it will be pretty hard to persuade the press that we should respect his zone of privacy."
Letterman's nightly platform requires viewers to see him as a fair-minded jokester. He recently poked fun at South Carolina's governor, saying: "Mark Sanford didn't really enjoy this year's Fourth of July. He left his favorite firecracker in Argentina." In 1997, even before the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Letterman joked about a near-collision involving Air Force One: "Thank God no one was injured, though a flight attendant was thrown from President Clinton's lap."
Sometimes, Letterman goes too far. In June, he apologized to Sarah Palin for a joke about her daughter getting "knocked up" by Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. After hesitating for several days, Letterman said: "I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception."
He has been more openly political, and tilted more to the left, in the past year. He savaged John McCain during the campaign for canceling an interview with him and said Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly "doesn't really care much about telling the truth." Last month, by contrast, he conducted a remarkably friendly interview with President Obama.
What happens next depends on the investigation, Letterman's handling of new revelations and whether other comics lay off their comrade. CBS clearly has a great deal invested in its late-night star. But it's not hard to come up with a Top Ten List of reasons why Letterman needs to tread carefully.

The Push for Ideological Conformity Continues
Purdue public-health professor George Avery, writing in the school paper The Exponent, discusses another of the many disturbing features of the Senate health "reform" bill, namely language that threatens scientific objectivity. In essence, the feds can pull the plug on funding for health research if they don't like the conclusions.
Professor Avery points to the obvious similarity with the Climategate revelations that the global-warming zealots want to suppress any dissenting views. He also questions the constitutionality of this provision under the First Amendment, but in the famous words of Nancy Pelosi, "Are you serious!?" We can't let some words on old parchment get in the way of guaranteeing that everyone has high-quality, affordable health care, can we?

The OM2P 802.11n (802.11g compatible) wireless access point is ideally suited for providing robust internet coverage just about anywhere you need to share a connection. Examples include hotels, apartments, neighborhoods, coffee shops, shopping malls, campgrounds, and marinas.
The OM2P now features 23dBm power (200 mW) at even the highest speeds (5-8 dBi higher than most business class access points). With an external antenna with standard RP-SMA connector, it provides the the flexibility to work with 3rd-party external antennas.
Note that since the antenna is external, it does not work with the ceiling or Ethernet wall jack enclosures. For indoor installations, we recommend the OM2P-LC or OM2P-HS models. The LC is virtually identical but with an internal antenna and 20 dBm power.
Open-Mesh OM Series access points are compatible with passive 12-24v PoE. (Note this is not 802.3af PoE compatible, so the OM2P cannot be powered with standard PoE switches.) Passive POE keeps costs low, reduces heat dissipation and allows for the most compact size possible. We sell a line of PoE injectors and power supplies to power these access points.

A review of "James White" from Sundance 2015.
"The Laughing Policeman" is an awfully good police movie: taut, off-key, filled with laconic performances. It provides the special delight we get from gradually unraveling a complicated case. It's almost the kind of movie, indeed, to blast loose a detective-novel fan from Ross Macdonald.
Instead of depending on sex and violence for its appeal (although it does contain them), it fascinates us with the way a criminal is finally tracked down. The movie opens with a virtuoso cat-and-mouse scene in which an off-duty policeman trails a criminal, who apparently, for some reason, wants to be tailed. They get on the same bus together and then a stranger in the back of the bus opens fire with a machine gun and kills everybody aboard. He escapes.
The story begins when Walter Matthau, as a detective, arrives at the scene and identifies the dead cop as his partner. But . . . the partner was supposedly home on sick leave. What was he doing on the bus?
The challenge is to check out the backgrounds of everybody else on the bus in order to track down the killer. And here the movie gets interesting; the police work has the feeling of authenticity. We get the false leads, the dead ends, the plea-coppers, the impossible coincidences, and the nuts who are ready to confess to the crime. And all the time, as Matthau explains, there's the feeling that the case will never be cracked unless somebody just comes in and squeals.
This is Matthau's second crime movie in a row, after "Charley Varrick," and it adds an interesting new dimension to his character. He'd just about gotten locked into Neil Simon comedies and other vehicles requiring him to shuffle around like an appealing shaggy dog. He'd gotten so lovable, indeed, that it was almost monotonous. Now he plays hard-bitten criminals and cops, and he's still a phenomenon: he can't help but be likable. He's every man, doggedly determined to solve a crisis, resolve a dilemma and maybe even get some sleep.
His new partner in the movie is played by Bruce Dern, who distinguished himself in all sorts of character roles, usually as a psychotic, before finally graduating to leads. He was the combination space ranger and forest ranger in the splendid, underrated "Silent Running," and the basketball coach in "Drive, He Said," and now here he is at his best role: a little mean, a little lazy, sadistic on occasion, cynical, tough and the perfect counterfoil for Matthau.
The direction is by Stuart Rosenberg, and marks a comeback of sorts. Rosenberg directed "Cool Hand Luke" and then had a string of failures like the interesting "WUSA" and the totally confused "Pocket Money." With "The Laughing Policeman," he takes a labyrinthine plot and leads us through it at a gallop; he respects our intelligence and doesn't bother to throw in a lot of scenes where everything is explained. All the pieces in the puzzle do fit together, you realize after the movie is over, and part of the fun is assembling them yourself. And there are a couple of scenes that are really stunning, like the bus shooting, and an emergency room operation, and scenes where the partners try to shake up street people to get a lead out of them. Police movies so often depend on sheer escapist action that it's fun to find a good one.

General Comments
Now it's been a while since I have been here approximately 8 years but I know this is still the best student venue in Glasgow primarily for the cheap Vodka. It is also a great live venue and I have had the pleasure of seeing quite a lot of great acts over the years including some bad ones. The music is very open to the student population playing a wide range of indie and current pop tunes which coupled with the cheap vodka puts the dance floor full. This is a great venue for cheap great night out for music that you can just about stand.

Managing photos on Flickr.com with KFlickr
The Flickr service is an easy way to publish your photos, and Kflickr is a handy Flickr interface. We'll show you how to use Kflickr to manage an Internet photo site from your KDE desktop.
Kflickr [1] is a tool that helps you upload photos to Yahoo's Flickr [2] online service (see the "Flickr" box). You can describe and edit your images on your local machine, rather than using the typically lethargic Flickr web interface. The software is cur rently at version 0.5, with the critical functions for uploading files already in place. To use Kflickr to upload photos onto the World Wide Web, you first need to register with the Flickr service. Installation A source code archive, DEB and RPM packages, and a Klik installer [4] for Kflickr are available from the Kflickr homepage. We had no trouble installing the Debian package on Kubuntu 5.10, and the RPM package installed on Mand riva Linux 2006 without any complaints.

There are not many common dog health problems for the Bichon Frise. In general, dog health care is easy for this breed.
Unlike other dog breeds, the Bichon does not have many dog health concerns.
You should consider puppy health, of course, when choosing a new dog.
However, aside from canine allergies, which are are one of the main Bichon Frise health issues, your new puppy or dog will probably be quite happy and healthy.
So what are the dog health issues that you should be aware of? Dog skin allergies and dog allergies of all sorts are the most common health Bichon Frise health issue.
While this breed is relatively healthy otherwise, you can have some dog health concerns arise.
Some of these common dog health problems in the Bichon are preventable and some are inherited.
Canine urinary incontinence
Dental cavities - Yes, dogs can get cavities, too. The best way to prevent this from happening is to give your pet a high quality, dry dog food. And you can also brush your dog's teeth.
Periodontal disease - This is what happens when your dog's mouth is neglected.
Dislocated knees - While Bichons usually don't have as dog joint health issue (like many large dogs), they can have dislocated knees.
When choosing a new Bichon, puppy health is important. And you certainly want to know that the breeder has taken care to consider any congenital issues.
However, in general, Bichon Frises are quite healthy, and you probably won't have any major dog health issues to deal with. This breed has been spared most of the common dog health issues that plague many other dog breeds.
Good dog health care should result in many happy (and healthy) years with your special little Bichon Frise dog!You might also like:

Imbruglia Hails 'Great' Long-distance Marriage
Australian pop beauty Natalie Imbruglia has hailed her long-distance marriage to Silverchair rocker Daniel Johns as "great", declaring living in different countries keeps their relationship exciting.
Imbruglia, 32, wed Johns, 28, in 2003 after dating for three years. While Imbruglia spends most of the year in England, Johns remains in their native Australia.
And despite the couple often going for months without seeing each other, Imbruglia insists they have a good marriage because the unusual set-up works.
She says, "Because he is contracted to an Australian label and I've got a British one, we live in different countries.
"That might seem strange, but it's actually great. The heart knows no geography after all."

How valuable was Nate Ebner when he was a collegian at Ohio State? Paul Haynes is going to bottom-line it for you, Patriots fans.
"The guys we protected during the week were the quarterback and Nate Ebner," said Haynes, who was the defensive coordinator and coached the defensive backs when the former rugby star was at Ohio State. "We knew that we couldn't get Nate hurt during the week, because if we did, we'd be in trouble in Saturday.
"It sounds crazy, but when it came to practice, he didn't need to do a lot. We needed him on Saturday."
Add another chapter to the burgeoning legend of Nate Ebner, sixth-round pick of the Patriots last weekend and YouTube star. Ebner made his bones as an indispensable special teamer with the Buckeyes the last two years, so much so that Haynes compared him to another overachiever who made an NFL career out of special teams.
"I see him as a Bill Bates-type of player," Haynes said of Ebner. "A undersized guy who made a name for himself as a pure special teamer. That's what Nate is.
"He's an unbelievable worker. His work ethic is out of this world. He has a passion to be great, and once he gets his mind stuck on doing something, he'll do it."
Bates, an undrafted free agent, played 15 seasons for the Cowboys and was a part of three Super Bowl teams and an All-Pro. It goes without saying that if Ebner can reach those same lofty heights, Bill Belichick and the Patriots would be happy.
"Nate is a guy that is a big, fast safety that has been very productive in the kicking game," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said shortly after the pick was made. "[He's a] relatively inexperienced player that we think has a lot of good football in front of him.
"Of course, we have some good connections at Ohio State, people that have worked with him that obviously that played a part in it, too, just in terms of his overall development and where we think he can be."
Ebner began his athletic career as one of the best teenage rugby players in the country. When he enrolled at Ohio State, he joined the rugby team. Along the way, Haynes kept hearing about Ebner and how he might fit in with the football team.
"I coached with his high school coach, and he told me about him, and how he always tried to get him to play," Haynes said. "Then, [former track and field star] Butch Reynolds started working with him, and Butch came to me and said, 'This guy's work ethic is just through the roof, and he wants to play.' I knew about him already and was ready to coach him, but when he started it just exceeded everything I knew. He was great."
Ebner walked on at Ohio State and eventually earned a scholarship. His gonzo style and devil-may-care approach -- Pro Football Weekly described him as a player who "races down the field like a bat out of hell and hunts returners like a heat-seeking missile" -- earned him the respect and admiration of his teammates.
"He was the most valuable guy we had on the team, besides the quarterback, because he made so many plays for us on special teams that we just came to bank on the fact that he was going to make the play every single time," Haynes said of the 6-foot, 205-pounder. "We knew that if he was out there on the coverage team, he would make the play. He would make the block to get the guy free. Whatever it took.
"The only reason Nate didn't play more safety was a little lack of overall football knowledge. But when it comes to playing the game, I'd trust him out there with my life because I know he makes my team better," Haynes added. "No one was more dedicated. Trust was never an issue -- he was going to get the job done."
Ebner had 11 tackles as a senior, but he really popped up on radar screens throughout the league with an impressive pro day, when he ran a 4.55 40-yard dash, finished with 23 reps on the bench press, showed off a 39-inch vertical and impressed everyone with a 6.59 three-cone time.
Haynes, who left Ohio State at the end of last season and now is the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Arkansas, isn't sure how the Patriots connected with Ebner, but he wouldn't be shocked if it was through former Pats linebacker Mike Vrabel, currently a coach on the Buckeyes staff.
"You guys know how all about business Mike Vrabel is -- he spent so much time in the league," Haynes said. "I don't know if the Patriots called Mike to check on Ebner, but I know that he put his stamp of approval on Nate. Mike loves him."
And as far as how he'll fit in in New England, Haynes has no doubt that the Patriots have a unique player on their hands.
"He'll fit in like crazy in New England, because I know they're all about work and hard work and walking the straight and narrow -- the type of stuff where you don't put up with any of the B.S.," Haynes said. "You don't need to worry about that with him. He'll be the first guy in the facility and the last guy out. He will put his all into it."
The guys discuss their gut feelings as the game rapidly approaches and what they expect to happen today in Arizona.

I just got a new Sig P220 and the 8 round mags are very hard to load. I get about 5 rounds in them and can barely get another round in. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sig mags are usually pretty tight with very strong springs. That said, only getting 5 in seems a little on the extreme side. You could try a mag loader. If you buy extra mags, maybe look into Mec-Gar mags for your Sig. They'll cost about 30% less than factory mags, often hold a couple more rounds, have a nice tight fit, and are much easier to load.
Any suggestions on where to get those mags & mag loader from ?
Cheaper than dirt should have the mag loader and the mags cabeleas

Yes, I know that Cabela's has them.
One word, Uplula
Your mags will break in. My 220 mags were the same - thumb biters the first 4 times out. Never used the loaders cane posted but they look good good. That last round can be a buggar to get in but it does go. Next to the 1911 my 220 is my favorite to shoot. Solid, great ergos. <mine is just the standard with rail but there is a police trade in that I am eyeing this weekend...>
Appreciate all the info. I reloaded them a few times and I was able to force the 8th round in. I'm just going to let them sit with all in, to see if that loosens up the spring a little. I saw the video on the uplula speed loader. I can see that I'll be getting one of those. Thanks
Another vote for the UPLULA

Judy and I take our golden retriever with us to the coast and enjoy beach walks as well as hiking on the Gualala Bluff Trail. Living in Berkeley we enjoy the active life of a great metropolitan area like San Francisco provides. However, our time at SeaWatch in Gualala gives us time to re-energize and refresh in a quiet place close to nature. We both have had busy lives in educational administration and value the balance in our lives that time at SeaWatch provides for us.
Gary & Judy Amado-owner purchased this townhome in 2003
After 'studying' the North Coast from Stimson Beach to Fort Bragg we found Gualala to be just the right combination of village atmosphere, artistic culture, good restaurants and most sunny days. We wanted an ocean (blue & white water)view and less than a 3 hour drive from the Bay Area. Our SeaWatch vacation home in Gualala has been the perfect match.
We enjoy the opportunity to just 'kick back' and refresh in the solitude and sounds of the surf.
The Perfect North Coast Getaway March 13, 2013 The home is absolutely charming, comfortable, and peaceful in this tranquil coast side setting convenient to any past-time...be it beachcoming, kayaking, hiking, shopping, reading, eating, or just relaxing and retreating. The only downside is that we didn't stay longer. The home is well maintained and loved, and the owner was very attentive prior to our visit to make sure all of our expectations were met." -
Gualala lies within the "Banana Belt", a nearly fogless micro-climate involving about five miles of coastline from Gualala thru Anchor Bay. While the wind blows onshore for the rest of the coast it is practically offshore here, keeping the fog from drifting in. When the marine layer of fog blankets the coastline, to the north and south, Gualala often basks under clear blue skies watching the huge bank of fog offshore.
The village of Gualala lies at the southernmost edge of Mendocino County along Shoreline Highway One and perches on the bluffs overlooking the Gualala River and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Just ¼ mile east of Highway One is the magnificent Gualala Arts Center, which hosts ongoing art openings and exhibits, concerts and live theatrical productions, lectures, classes and both arts-related & community events.
The beautiful Gualala River runs to the sea right in front of the village, and is home to river otter, osprey, egret, heron and many varieties of flora.
Other Activities: kayaking, wildlife viewing, art gallerying
Golf: The famous Sea Ranch Golf Course, a Scottish style course, is just a mile or so away. A great, scenic round of 18 holes in a grand north coast of California setting !

Disney has canned Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned - the RPG previously set for release in 2011.
And if that's not enough bad news for your evening, Disney's also "restructured" Vancouver-based Propaganda Games - which is basically a nicer way of saying it's binned off a ton of staff.
Angela Emery, Disney Interactive Studios' vice president of communication confirmed: "Disney Interactive Studios confirms the cancellation of the Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned video game which was scheduled to be released in 2011," in a statement to Kotaku.
"As a result of this decision, Disney Interactive Studios completed a restructuring of Propaganda Games, its Vancouver, BC internal studio, affecting one of the studio's two development teams. The studio is still in active production of TRON: Evolution, the video game, which will be released on December 7, 2010 with additional DLC (downloadable content) support following the game's release."
While Emery wouldn't comment on numbers, Kotaku reports that as many as 100 people have been shown the exit door, while a few remaining members of the Pirates team were moved over to help with the finalisation of TRON: Evolution.

Description This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. � 119(e) of U.S. Patent Application No. 60/648,841 filed Jan. 31, 2005 for �INTEGRATION OF POWER HEMT'S�, and claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. � 119(a) of European Patent Application No. EP 05447156 filed on Jun. 30, 2005, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference. 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is related to semiconductor devices comprising multiple source-gate-drain combinations, in particular devices that are designed to work at high frequency and high power levels, such as multiple gate-finger High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTS), i.e. having at least two gate contacts on the same substrate. 2. Description of the Related Art High frequency and power devices are generally confronted by a problem of thermal management. In HEMT-devices, heat is generated in a very small area, especially in the channel, close to the gate area. This heat needs to be removed in an effective way. An established way to produce multiple gate-finger HEMTs is to grow a semiconductor stack (e.g. a GaN/AlGaN stack) on a first substrate, for instance a sapphire substrate, provide ohmic contacts, gate metal and contact metal and a passivation layer, and apply a structure on top of the device, called an �airbridge�, to connect the neighbouring contacts, with similar function. Flip chip bumps are then applied around the HEMT or on a second substrate. The first substrate is then diced to form individual devices which are subsequently attached to the second substrate by flip-chip technology. The air bridges collect the heat generated in the HEMT and remove it laterally. The heat is further removed in vertical direction by the flip-chip bumps. This however results in a device with a considerable height. In US2003/0040145A1, a method is described for transferring and stacking semiconductor devices. The method allows to produce a single-gate HEMT device by forming it on a first substrate, singulating the first substrate into separate devices, and attaching the individual devices to a second substrate, via a bonding layer. It is not a self-evident step to apply a similar method to multiple gate-finger HEMTs, given that the interconnect between neighbouring contacts would need to be provided in a different way, compared to the air-bridge structures. US2001/0005043 is related to a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein a plurality of bipolar transistors are produced on a substrate. The substrate is flipped onto a secondary substrate, and the active areas of the devices are connected through a metal layer applied to the backside of the device, after creation of via holes. The transistors are subsequently diced, to form individual single-gate devices, eg. HEMTs. Given that there is no need in this disclosure for interconnecting corresponding area's (e.g. bases) of the different transistors, to produce a single (e.g. multiple base) device, the problem of avoiding airbridges is not addressed in this document. Document U.S. Pat. No. 6,214,639 describes a multi-finger HEMT, wherein the source, gate and drain areas are contacted from the backside of the device, by producing through holes to lateral areas which are connected to the multiples sources, drains and gates of the device. However, this technique requires at least one air-bridge to be made. This is shown in FIG. 1a of U.S. Pat. No. 6,214,639, by the dotted lines on the area 14, representing the gate contact area. At these dotted lines, the gate area is crossed by the area's 12. On these locations, air bridges are necessary to separate the contact areas 12 and 14. Document US2005/0127397 describes a GaN device with heat spreading layer and a thermal via. However, the problem of avoiding airbridges is not addressed here. The heat sinks are moreover not used to interconnect different regions of the device. One embodiment provides a method for producing semiconductor devices, in particular high frequency and high power devices such as multiple gate-finger HEMTs, which are more compact than the air-bridge structures known in the art, and which are still within the required specifications in terms of heat dissipation. The invention is related to a method as described in the appended claims, and to devices produced by applying this method. As expressed in claim 1, the invention is related to a method for producing a semiconductor device comprising a plurality (i.e. at least two) groups of gate/drain/source contacts, or equivalently, base/collector/emitter contacts, wherein the respective types of contact of said groups are interconnected to a common gate, drain and source (or base, collector, emitter) output contact. The preferred embodiments are a multiple gate-finger HEMT, and a multiple base bipolar transistor. In all of the following description, and for the sake of conciceness of the text, the words �gate,source,drain� contacts will be used. It is however to be noted that these words can be replaced everywhere by �base,emitter,collector� respectively. The basic characteristic of the invention is expressed in appended claim 1. A first substrate is provided, comprising on its front side a semiconductor stack, i.e. a semiconductor layer, and on top of that layer a plurality of gate contacts, each gate contact lying in between source and drain ohmic contacts, for producing a plurality of source-gate-drain structures. Possibly but not necessarily after flipping the first substrate onto a second substrate, the device is then contacted from the backside (the side opposite the one carrying the gate/source/drains), by etching via's through the semiconductor layer and through the first substrate itself, in case the first substrate is not removed or in case it is partly removed by a thinning step. According to another embodiment, the first substrate is completely removed after flipping the device onto a second substrate, and vias are etched in the semiconductor layer. In all embodiments, the vias are etched in a particular way with respect to the above mentioned ohmic contacts. The term �ohmic contacts� refers to the contact regions which form a direct ohmic contact with the active area's defined as source and drain on the semiconductor layer. According to the invention, vias are produced directly on top of each ohmic contact of at least one type, e.g. on top of all the source contacts, to thereby expose said ohmic contact, so that it may be contacted by a subsequently applied interconnect layer. At least one type of ohmic contact (e.g. all the source ohmic contacts) is contacted directly in this way. The other type of ohmic contacts may be contacted in another way, e.g. by providing vias to lateral contact areas (i.e. via's which are not directly on top of the actual ohmic contacts). Alternatively, two types of ohmic contact (preferably sources and drains), may all be contacted directly through via holes produced directly on top of these types of contact. By providing via's directly on top of at least one type of contact, and by thus contacting directly the ohmic contacts of that type, it is not necessary to apply an airbridge in order to accomplish the necessary interconnections. This will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. According to a first embodiment, the method of the invention comprises the following basic steps:
The method of the invention is applicable to a multiple gate-finger (in short: multi-finger) HEMT device, which is the preferred embodiment described in detail hereafter. However, the invention is applicable to any plurality of source-gate-drain structures, whether they are adjacent in one area of the substrate, or located in different areas of the substrate. The first substrate may be a sapphire, silicon or a glass substrate. It may also be a GaAs, Ge, InP, SiC or AlN substrate. The second substrate is preferably a low cost substrate. It may be a glass, silicon or polymer based substrate. According to a further embodiment, the second substrate may be a multi-chip-module dielectric stack (MCM-D). The MCM-D stack may comprise passive components such as resistors or capacitors. The removal of the first substrate can be performed by wet etching, dry etching, laser ablation or laser lift-off (or a combination of these techniques). The semiconductor layer may be made of a Group III nitride material. A group III nitride material is a material comprising a nitride of an element of Group III of the periodic table of elements. Group III nitride materials are known to a person skilled in the art as wide band gap materials. A group III nitride material can be GaN, whereby GaN is to be understood as a material comprising at least GaN, such as, but not limited hereto, AlGaN, InGaN, AlInGaN, GaAsPN and the like. The semiconductor layer can also comprise a stack of layers, wherein at least one of the layer comprising a group III nitride material. The device as recited in this invention can also comprise a diamond layer instead of a Group-III nitride material. In another preferred embodiment, the source contact and drain contact are made of an alloy comprising Ti, Al, Ni, Mo, Ta, Pt, Pd, Si, V, Nb, Zr and/or Au. The contact being preferably formed by Ti/Al/Ti/Au sequence, Ti/Al/Ni/Au, Ti/Al/Mo/Au or Ti/Al/Pt/Au. The adhesive layer is preferably produced from a thermally conductive adhesive, for the purpose of obtaining sufficient heat dissipation in the final device. The adhesive can be selected from the group consisting of organic polymers, SU-8, poly-imide, BCB, silicones, flowable oxides, thermally conductive epoxy, e.g. epoxies with fillers (suspended particles to enhance thermal conductivity). The thickness of the thermally conductive adhesive layer is preferably between 500 nm and 10 μm, even more preferably between 500 nm and 1 μm. According to a preferred embodiment, a layer with the combined function of passivation and heat spreading, may be deposited on the gate/source/drain contacts on the first substrate, prior to attaching the first substrate to the second. This passivation and heat spreading layer has two functions:
This passivation and heat spreading layer is a layer with a high thermal conductivity (higher than 150 W/mK). During the attaching step, it is then the heat spreading layer which is attached to the thermally conductive adhesive layer. In this case, the thermally conductive adhesive layer can be the same as in the previous embodiment. However, since the thermal conductivity of the heat spreading layer is preferably better than typical adhesive layers (<10 W/mK), the application of a heat spreading layer further improves the thermal performance. The passivation and heat spreading layer may be formed of AlN, AlSiC, highly resistive Si, SiC or Si-nitride or diamond. Advantageously, a combination of two subsequent layers, a first layer as a passivation layer and a second as a heat spreading layer, can be used to have an optimal performance. After via-etching and before backside contacting, a second passivation layer may be applied onto the semiconductor layer. An advantage of the present invention is that the active side of the semiconductor device is protected and remains essentially unaffected. A further advantage is that the resulting structure is more compact, compared to devices produced by applying air bridge structures. The device produced according to the present invention is highly integrated, has short interconnects and a planar character, allowing further 3D integration. In a second embodiment, the method comprises a number of further steps, following the steps of the first embodiment. After the connection between the source/gate/drain structures has been established, the second substrate, which is now carrying the finished interconnected device, may be reversed and attached to a third substrate, by attaching the side of the second substrate, carrying the interconnect layer, to the third substrate, preferably an MCM substrate. The second substrate and the original adhesive layer are then removed, and vias can be etched and heat sinks applied which allow for a better heat dissipation. This will be described in more detail for a multi-finger HEMT device. According to a third embodiment, the first substrate is not attached to a second substrate. The via's are produced through the backside of the first substrate, to expose e.g. the source areas. Possibly, the substrate may be subjected to a thinning operation prior to the via etching. After formation of the via's (in the way described in claim 1), and application of the contacting layer, the first substrate may then be attached to a second substrate (equivalent to the third substrate from the previous embodiment). To summarize, the advantages of the present invention are:
Moreover, the advantages associated with MCM remain valid:
The preferred embodiment of the present invention concerns the production of a multi-finger HEMT device according to the method as characterised above. In In the drawing in The section of These steps result in a multi-finger HEMT device, produced according to the first embodiment. As stated above, the invention is characterized by the fact that vias 11 are produced to directly contact at least one of the types of ohmic contact of the device. In the embodiment in In the embodiments shown in According to the second embodiment, a number of additional steps are performed, as illustrated in Preferably according to the second embodiment, the first substrate 1 is not diced before reversing and attaching it to the second substrate. Instead, the first substrate is reversed and attached as a whole, possibly attaching several HEMT-devices to the second substrate. The dicing is preferably done after reversing and attaching the first substrate to the second. As shown in The second embodiment of the method of the invention provides some additional advantages over the prior art. Heat removal can be obtained both on the front and the backside of the device. At the back side, the heat can be removed to the third substrate 22 through the adhesive layer 23 and interconnect layer 13, while at the front side, heat sinks can be produced, for further improving the efficiency of the heat removal. With the device produced according to the second embodiment, it is also possible to test the complete device (with source contacts) before the integration of the HEMT in a circuit on the third substrate. In the second embodiment, it is possible to produce the vias to the ohmic regions in the way shown in According to a third embodiment, the first substrate is not flipped onto a second substrate, but the vias are etched through the backside of the first substrate itself, see In this embodiment, the vias 11 are produced through the Si-substrate 1 and the semiconductor layer 2,3 (see The interconnect layer 13 is applied onto the backside of the substrate, leading to a finished device, see As mentioned above, the interconnect layer 13 is to be patterned in a proper way, to allow the ohmic contacts to be interconnected correctly.

The Good
Five years after the events of Night of the Living Dead, the world is a very different place. Zombies aren't quite the menace they used to be, but the world is still trying to heal itself from the invasion of the undead. The issue focuses on Penny Jones, a doctor studying how zombies have been tamed and Paul Barnum, a guy who searches out zombies that show signs of remembering their past lives. Barnum grabs these special zombies and takes them to the arena, where they fight for the entertainment of mainly the rich.
If you're familiar with George Romero's work, this will feel like home to you. There's a good deal of time spent on setting up the world and the characters, so new readers will have no trouble jumping onto this book and feeling right at home.
This book primarily deals with the idea that there are different types of zombies, which was explored in Romero's Land of the Dead. It's not an idea I'm particularly fond of, but the way Romero explores it here works exceptionally well. The reader learns that aside from regular old zombies, and zombies who have remembered behavior, there also exists a type of undead with limited thought and full control over their extremities. One of these in-betweeners is the focal point for a good chunk of the book. We really get into the character's head, which is a mish-mash of broken sentences and phrases. This idea didn't work in the film very well, but it does here and it gives the zombie genre a bit of fresh air, especially because these types of zombies don't seem to be everywhere. The reader is led to believe there is only one or two running around, that they know of.
The best part of this issue is the art of Alex Maleev and the colors of Matt Hollingsworth. Hollingsworth's colors are a bit muted and dull, which gives the reader this sense of hopelessness and a very dark tone. Maleev does some great things here with his art, and his facial work is brilliant, especially with Penny. His pages are set up creatively, without losing focus on what's happening in the panels. Overall, this is a very pleasing piece. There's a nice scene that connects back to the movie Night of the Living dead where we see a woman get dragged out of the house by a zombie. I loved this scene because it gives the readers and fans of Romero's work a real connection to it.
The Bad
While the idea of different types of zombies work well, at the end of the issue, it falls apart a bit as we see what seems to be a vampire feasting on a woman. The reader is lead to believe that it's not a vampire, but just a different type of living dead. It may be too soon to flip out over a vampire in this book because it could just be a dude who likes the idea of being a vampire, but this scene really took me out of the moment.
The Verdict
It's hard to read any book about zombies without comparing it to WALKING DEAD; however, EMPIRE OF THE DEAD is a great start to a new series that follows the earlier works of George Romero, but still keeping the book new reader friendly. It explores some areas of Romero's work that I'm not the biggest fan of, but it does so in a way that gets me on board. The final page was a bit weird, but overall, Romero and Maleev have the start of something extreme fun here. It's also nice to see Marvel do something a bit more out of the box as well.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
John Hill added this to Must-Know Modern Homes: The Gamble House
The Greene brothers' mature works, of which the Gamble is a part, clearly exhibit the brothers' love of wood, steeped in an appreciation of Japanese and Swiss architecture. But equally important is how the brothers treated outdoor space. Their floor plans are shaped to embrace the landscape, for one, and on the second floor they incorporated large sleeping porches; in the case of the Gamble House, the latter are positioned over the former, so the terraces receive shade. The combination of sleeping porches and large overhangs gives the house its exterior character, a mix of wood surfaces and deep shadows.
