Editors' Review
+Ace Video Converter offers plenty of format support for both video and audio, lets you rip audio from video files, and download YouTube videos with ease. Even though the program offers some cool features and a long list of supported formats, the overall conversion process could be faster.
The download comes with a few junk programs tacked on, so make sure you opt out of them. The layout, even though not as intuitive as it should be, is still fairly easy to use, but no one would make the mistake of calling it beautiful. The icons are big and the main menu is easy to navigate. You can add files by using options in the main menu or by simply dragging and dropping files into the interface. On the right side pane you will find a drop-down list of all available formats for conversion. Here you can also choose the quality of the output and check for more advanced settings. It took a few tries to get things sorted out properly. Using the recommended settings Ace Video Converter gave, the program turned a 42-minute video file into a different format in around 12 minutes. With medium quality selected, the final result was choppy. When we performed the same conversion but with high quality selected, the result was satisfactory. Additionally, the program offers some cool extras such as a built-in YouTube downloader, which doubles as a multiformat video player. Downloading a three-minute long YouTube video clip went smooth and completed within a couple of minutes.
Perhaps Ace Video Converter won't be your go-to video converter if you want to change formats quickly and simply but it's worth trying out. It's free, doesn't add any watermarks, and if you take the time to set it up properly it can provide decent results.

This major new series reproduces an authoritative selection of the most significant articles in different areas of psychology. It focuses in particular on influential articles which are not found in other similar colelctions.
Many of these articles are only available in specialized journals and therfore are not accessible in every library. This landmark series will make a contribution to scholarship and teaching in psychology. It will imorove access to important areas of literature which are difficult to locate, even in the archives of many libraries throughout the world.
Important features in each book make the series an essential research and reference tool, including introductions written by the individual editors providing a lucid survey of difference branches of psychology. The pagination of the original articles has been deliberately retained to facilitate ease of reference. A comprehensive author and subject index guides the reader instantly to major and minor topics within the literature.
When we began writing this book, our overriding goal was to capture the excitement of social .,, psychology. We have been pleased to hear, in many kind letters and e-mail messages from professors and students, that we succeeded. One of our favorites was from a student who said that the book was so interesting that she always saved it for last, to reward herself for finishing her other work. With that one student, at least, we succeeded in making our book an enjoyable, fascinating story, not a dry report of facts and figures.
There is always room for improvement, however, and our goal in this, the fourth edition, is to make the field of social psychology an even better read. When we teach the course, there is nothing more gratifying than seeing the sleepy students in the back row sit up with interest and say, "Wow, I didn't know that! Now that's interesting." We hope that students who read our book will have that very same reaction.
Social psychology comes alive for students when they understand the whole context of the field: how theories inspire research, why research is performed as it is, how further research triggers yet new avenues of study. We have tried to convey our own fascination with the research process in a down-to-earth, meaningful way and have presented the results of the scientific process in terms of the everyday experience of the reader. However, we did not want to "water down" our presentation of the field. In a world where human behavior can be endlessly surprising and where research results can be quite counterintuitive, it is important to prepare students by providing a firm foundation on which to build their understanding ofthis challenging discipline. Here, in more detail, is how we present a rigorous, scientific approach to social psychology in a way that, we hope, engages and fascinates most students.
Social psychology is full of good stories, such as how the Kitty Genovese murder prompted research on bystander intervention, how the Holocaust inspired investigations into obedience to authority, and how reactions to the marriage of the crown prince of Japan to Masako Owada, a career diplomat, illustrates cultural differences in the self-concept. By placing research in a real-world context, we make the material more familiar, understandable, and memorable.
Each chapter begins with a real-life vignette that epitomizes the concepts to come. We refer to this event at several points in the chapter to illustrate to students the relevance of the material they are learning. Examples of the opening vignettes include the tragic death of Amadou Diallo in New York, who was shot forty-one times by four white police officers as he reached for his wallet in the vestibule of his apartment building (Chapter 3, "Social Cognition: How We Think about the Social World"); the possible use of subliminal messages in one of George W Bush's campaign ads, in which the word rats was flashed on the screen for a thirtieth of a second while an announcer discussed Al Gore's prescription drug plan (Chapter 7, "Attitudes and Attitude Change: Influencing Thoughts and Feelings"); the crash of Air Florida Flight 90 in Washington, D.C., in which survivors were rescued by complete strangers (Chapter 11, "Prosocial Behavior: Why Do People Help?"); and a murder trial in which an innocent man was sentenced to death because of faulty eyewitness testimony (Social Psychology in Action 3, "Social Psychology and the Law"). To illustrate more specifically the way in which the opening vignettes are tied to social psychological principles, here are a couple of examples in more detail:
Our storytelling approach is not limited to these opening vignettes. There are several "mini-stories" woven into each chapter that illustrate specific concepts and make the material come alive. They each follow a similar format: First, we describe an example of a real-life phenomenon that is designed to pique students' interest. These stories are taken from current events, literature, and our own lives. Second, we describe an experiment that attempts to explain the phenomenon. This experiment is typically described in some detail, because we believe that students. should not only learn the major theories in social psychology but also understand and appreciate the methods used to test those theories. We often invite the students to pretend that they were participants in the experiment, to give them a better feel for what it was like and what was found. Here are a few examples of our "mini-stories" (if you thumb through the book, you will come across many others):
It might seem that a storytelling approach would obscure the scientific basis of social psychology. On the contrary, we believe that part of what makes the story so interesting is explaining to students how to test hypotheses scientifically. In recent years, the trend has been for textbooks to include only short sections on research methodology and to provide only brief descriptions of the findings of individual studies. In this book, we integrate the science and methodology of the field into our story, in a variety of ways.
Unlike virtually all other texts, we devote an entire chapter to methodology (Chapter 2). "But wait," you might say, "how can you maintain students' interest and attention with an entire chapter on such dry material?" The answer is by integrating this material into our storytelling approach. Even the "dry" topic of methodology can come alive by telling it like a story. We begin by presenting two pressing real-world problems related to violence and aggression: Does pornography promote violence against women? Why don't bystanders intervene more to help victims of violence? We then use actual research studies on these questions to illustrate the three major scientific methods (observational research, correlational research, and experimental research). Rather than a dry recitation of methodological principles, the scientific method unfolds like a story with a "hook" (What are the causes of real-world aggression and apathy toward violence?) and a moral (Such interesting, real-world questions can be addressed scientifically). We have been pleased by the reactions7to this chapter in the previous editions.
We describe prototypical studies in more detail than most texts. We discuss how a study was set up, what the research participants perceived and did, how the research design derives from theoretical issues, and the ways in which the findings support the initial hypotheses. We often ask readers to pretend that they were participants in order to understand the study from the participants' point of view. Whenever pertinent, we've also included anecdotal information about how a study was done or came to be; these brief stories allow readers insights into the heretofore hidden world of creating research. See, for example, the description of how Nisbett and Wilson (1977) designed one of their experiments on the accuracy of people's causal inferences on page 150 and the description of the origins of Aronson's jigsaw puzzle technique on pages 498-499.
As you will see from flipping through the book, we include a large number of charts and graphs detailing the results of individual experiments. The field of social psychology is expanding rapidly, and exciting new work is being done in all areas of the discipline. In this fourth edition, we have added a great deal of new material, describing dozens of major studies done within the past few years. We have added hundreds of new references, more from the past few years. Thus the book provides thorough coverage of up-to-date, cutting-edge research.
In emphasizing what is new, many texts have a tendency to ignore what is old. We have striven to strike a balance between the latest research findings and classic research in social psychology. Some older studies (e.g., early work in dissonance, conformity, and attribution) deserve their status as classics and are important cornerstones of the discipline. For example, unlike several other current texts, we present detailed descriptions of the Schachter and Singer (1962) study on misattribution of emotion (Chapter 5), the Festinger and Carlsmith (1959) dissonance study (Chapter 6), and the Asch (1956) conformity studies (Chapter 8). We then bring the older theories up to date, following our discussions of the classics with modern approaches to the same topics, including culture, gender, self, and emotion (e.g., Cross, Bacon, & Morris, 2000; Fiske, Kitayama, Markus, & Nisbett, 1998) in Chapter 5; self-esteem maintenance (e.g., Steele's self-affirmation theory and Higgins's self-discrepancy theory) in Chapter 6; the process of dissonance reduction in different cultures (e.g., Sakai, 1998; Stone, Wiegand, Cooper, & Aronson, 1997; Viswesvaran & Deshpande, 1996) in Chapter 6; and minority influence (e.g., Wood, Lundgren, Ouellette, Busceme, & Blackstone, 1994) in Chapter 8. This allows students to experience the continuity and depth of the field, rather than regarding it as a collection of studies published in the past few years.
To illustrate more concretely how the fourth edition has been updated, here is a sampling of new research that is covered:
To understand behavior in a social context, we must consider such influences as culture and gender. Rather than adding a chapter on these important topics, we discuss them in every chapter, as they apply to the topic at hand. In many places, we discuss the wonderful diversity of humankind by presenting research on the differences between people of different cultures, races, or genders. We also discuss the commonalties people share by illustrating the applicability of many phenomena across culture, race, and gender. Here are examples:
In recent years, social psychologists have become increasingly interested in an evolutionary perspective on many aspects of social behavior. Once again, our approach is to integrate this perspective into the parts of chapters where it is relevant, rather than devoting a separate chapter to this topic. We present what we believe is a balanced approach, discussing evolutionary psychology as well as alternatives to it. Here are examples of places in which we discuss the evolutionary approach:
One of the best ways to capture students' interest is to point out the real-world significance of the material they are studying. From the vignette that opens each chapter and runs throughout it to the discussions of historical events, current affairs, and our own lives that are embedded in the story line, the narrative is highlighted by real, familiar examples. Applications are an integral part of social psychology, however, and deserve their own treatment. In addition to an integrated coverage of applied topics in the body of the text, we include additional coverage in two ways.
Interspersed throughout the fourth edition are Try It! exercises in which students are invited to apply the concepts they are learning to their everyday life. There are three such exercises in each chapter. They include detailed instructions about how to attempt to replicate actual social psychological experiments, such as Milgram's (1963) lost letter technique in Chapter 11 and Reno and colleagues' (1993) study on norms and littering in the second Social Psychology in Action module, "Social Psychology and the Environment." Other Try It! exercises reproduce self-report scales and invite the students to fill them out to see where they stand on these measures. Examples include Singelis's (1994) measure of people's interdependent and independent views of themselves in Chapter 5 and the Need for Cognition Scale in Chapter 7. Still others are quizzes that illustrate social psychological concepts, such as a Reasoning Quiz in Chapter 3 that illustrates judgmental heuristics, or demonstrations that explain how to use a particular concept in a student's everyday life, such as an exercise in Chapter 9 that instructs students to violate a sex-role norm and observe the consequences. Each exercise varies in format and time required. Additional Try It! exercises can be found on our companion Web site www.prenhall.com/aronson. The Try It! exercises are certain to generate a lot of student interest and make social psychological concepts more memorable and engaging.
Following Chapter 13 are three "modules" devoted to applied topics in social psychology—one on health, one on the environment, and one on the law—under the umbrella of "Social Psychology in Action." You might wonder why these modules use a different naming and numbering system than the other chapters. The reason is that they are designed to be free-floating units that can be assigned at virtually any point in the text. Although we do occasionally refer to numbered chapters in these modules, they are constructed as much as possible to stand as independent units that could be relevant at many different points in a social psychology course.
In talking with many professors who teach social psychology, we have been struck by how differently they present applied material. Some prefer to assign this material at the end of the course, after they have covered the major concepts, theories, and research findings. Others prefer to integrate it with the more theoretical material when relevant. Our applied modules are designed to be used in either way. In fact, there are several ways in which the chapters in our book could be assigned. The box above presents two sample outlines that instructors have used successfully with our book. Surely there are others; we present these to illustrate the flexibility of the order in which the chapters and applied modules can be assigned.
A really good textbook should become part of the classroom experience, supporting and augmenting the professor's vision for the class. Social Psychology offers a number of supplements that will enrich both the professor's presentation of social psychology and the students' understanding of it.
Elliot Aronson is delighted to acknowledge the general contributions of his best friend (who also happens to be his wife), Vera Aronson. Vera, as usual, provided a great deal of inspiration for his ideas and acted as the sounding board for and supportive critic of many of his semi-formed notions, helping to mold them into more sensible analyses. He would also like to thank his son, Joshua Aronson, a brilliant young social psychologist in his own right, for the many stimulating conversations that contributed mightily to the final version of this book. For this, the fourth edition, Linda Tropp provided valuable specific research assistance.
Tim Wilson would like to thank his graduate mentor, Richard E. Nisbett, who nurtured his interest in the field and showed him the continuity between social psychological research and everyday life. He thanks his graduate students, Sara Algoe, David Centerbar, Elizabeth Dunn, Debby Kermer, Jaime Kurtz, Jay Meyers, and Thalia Wheatley, who helped keep him a well-balanced professor—a researcher as well as a teacher and author. He thanks his parents, Elizabeth and Geoffrey Wilson, for their overall support. Most of all, he thanks his wife, Deirdre Smith, and his children, Christopher and Leigh, for their love, patience, and understanding, even when the hour was late and the computer was still on.
Robin Akert would like to thank her students and colleagues at Wellesley College for their support and encouragement. In particular, she is beholden to Patricia Berman, Jonathan Cheek, Regan Bernhard, and Alison Bibbins. Their advice, feedback, and senses of humor were vastly appreciated. She is deeply grateful to her family, Michaela and Wayne Akert, and Linda and Jerry Wuichet; their inexhaustible enthusiasm and boundless support have sustained her on this project as on all the ones before it. Once again she thanks C. Issak for authorial inspiration. Finally, no words can express her gratitude and indebtedness to Dane Archer, mentor, colleague, and friend, who opened the world of social psychology to her and who has been her guide ever since.
No book can be written and published without the help of a great many people working with the authors behind the scenes, and our book is no exception. We would like to thank the many colleagues who read one or more chapters of this edition and of previous editions of the book.

Check Out This Awesome Fan Trailer For The WARRIORS Remake
By Merrill Barr on February 8, 2014
When it comes to '70s classics, few films can compete with the spectacle that is Walter Hill's The Warriors, an ugly, yet beautiful film about a group of friends who try to survive the night on the ruthless streets of New York City after being falsely accused of killing Cyrus, the leader of the most powerful gang in the city. In recent years, names including the late Tony Scott have been thrown around in an attempt to remake the film with a plot set in mid-'90s Los Angeles.
While the film's still stuck in the midst of production hell, a few talented amateurs took to Vimeo last week to post a rather amazing fan trailer for the announced remake:
There's a lot to love here, mainly in the design of the gangs and the color pallet separating all the various groups. Some dark blues, deep reds, and bright oranges, along with the amazing character design and striking score, really work to capture an amazingly unique look at urban life. When it comes to fan homage, it doesn't get much better than this.
With any luck, The Warriors remake will begin production sooner rather than later. But if Hollywood's plans continue to falter, perhaps the powers that be should just give these guys a call.
Warriors…come out and plaaaayay!
i can dig it..
[…] By Merrill Barr […]
[…] [rambhat] [nerdist] […]
That's Michael Angarano tied to the batting cage isn't it? I would so see this!
While I understand that films must be brought up to date , this looks awful. At least keep the characters looking similar to the original. Let's hope this goes straight to DVD as I think it will flop at the cinema. Really bad idea doing a remake.
LOST IN CONEY ISLAND is the official warriors backed fun remake. Cause it didnt try to remake it. They even went to Coney SIland FIlm Festival to support it. # of the Warriors actors went on to start in Rivas other film VAMP BIKERS
Warriors are from Brooklyn Not LA -
Ok, how did fans get a hold of footage that hasn't been released yet?
It's a fan made trailer meaning an unofficial trailer made by a fan sort of as a tribute. It's actually going to be like this. Nice color scheme and vibes though.
*it's not
god, that looks fucking incredible
I loved this trailer! The people who made it are incredibly talented! "Warriors come out and playas!"
If there is goin to be a remake, it's gotta be better than original, and that ll take some doin, or dont bother

So I bought 6.6 lbs of wheat malt and 2 ounces of Mt. Hood to make the blood orange heifeweizen from the DFH Extreme Brewing book for a summer beer. I foolishly assumed they would be in season and already bought the supplies. So does anyone have any ideas on what else I could add to make the beer not so boring, Ive never made a heifeweizen so I'm not really sure what would go well with it. Thanks
Blood oranges have a different flavor, but mainly I think they are more tart than 'regular' oranges. If I were trying to mimic the flavor, I might go with orange juice, a little pomegranate juice, and maybe a dash of granadine(? maybe). I'd say experiment until you get a similar flavor, then mix it up and make the recipe. I think most will advise to brew a plain hefe first though, where's the fun in that though?
it doesnt necessarily have to match the taste. Its more that i finally convinced a friend of mine to try homebrewing with me, and while I'm not a huge fan of weisses at all, she is and wanted to do something different, so really any fun ingredient to add to a heifiweizen would be fine
adding oranges to a hefeweizen will NOT make a good flavor. if you want an orange flavor, add a slice when you drink it. sorry, but as landhoney predicted, i wouldn't condone anyone doing this, especially on their first hefeweizen and even more so if you're doing it to try and get a friend into brewing. if you absolutely have to do it, tho, be sure to use the peel only...don't use any whole fruit.
I think the recipe calls for heating the juice of the blood orange with some of the peel??? Correct??? I don't have that book, but have read reference to the recipe in other places. And yes, I can see the future. BTW DeathBrewer, Sam Calagione(sp?) thinks oranges have a place in a hefe fermentation. Or did you just mean the actual whole fruit?
i personally don't think fruit belongs in beer at all. orange peel and coriander in a wit maybe...that's still pushing it for me but really...it's just that in order to make a good fruit weizen you first have to make a great weizen. how can you do that when this is your first wheat? i'm just concerned you might be disappointed with the end product. and i actually missed that this was from a book, thought you were just winging it. my position still stands but sorry anyway
i planned to make the same recipe for a mother's day bbq. i'm generally a no-fruit-in-beer guy, but i figured this would be a nice brew for the variety of family members we were having over. no blood oranges available, so i used (as you can see in my sig) tangelos. i used the meat of two and the zest of four. fermentation took forever, and was not even near complete enough to bottle in time for last weekend's holiday. i just bottled this past monday night, and the sample tasted, well, interesting. my wife loved it. i'll pop a bottle this coming weekend and let you know.

Best of The Nest
Is it ok to use our wedding shower gifts before the wedding? My mom says that I should wait until after the wedding, but my fiancé and I already live together and could use the new stuff since we are in the process of purchasing a second home. Is my mom just overreacting, or is it really bad luck?
It is perfectly acceptable to use shower gifts before your actual wedding day. You will have already opened them (obviously) at your shower and, once open, there's no reason not to use them as soon as you choose. Sounds like your mom might be focusing too much on an old superstition, something along the lines of "Don't count your chickens before they hatch," meaning that if for some reason your wedding doesn't happen, etiquette dictates that all gifts should be returned. Depending on how superstitious you are, you can decide for yourself.

Evanston Things to Do
Many tourists would not consider the Uinta County Courthouse as a "Thing To Do." However, since my goal is to visit every one of the 3,242 counties in the United States, I often take the time to look up the local courthouse in county seat towns I visit and take a photo. Some other county collectors take a picture of themselves in front of the courthouse to prove they were there. Personally, I don't want 3,141 pictures of my smiling mug, and I have nothing to prove to anyone but myself. I still always find the courthouse interesting - wheather it be a simple structure, a magnificant work of architecture, or something in between, like the courthouse here in Uinta County Courthouse here in Evanston.
On the day I visited the Uinta County Courthouse I passed the 87% mark in my county quest.Related to:- Architecture

Evanston Restaurants
During my recent overnight stay in Evanston, Wyoming, I was in the mood for Chinese food and found the Dragon Wall Restaurant in a strip mall. This was a typical all-you-can-eat chinese buffet with average offerings.
My meal was tasty and satisfying, however, my table had a sticky residue from a previous diner and the entire place could have used some cleaning. From the looks of other folks eating there it seemed to be a popular spot with some of the locals.
The price was right at $8.45 for dinner. Lunch is a couple of dollars less. Fountain drinks are included in that price.Related to:- Road Trip

- Food and Dining
This is a great restaurant with the worst service in history. ask any customer who comes in and i do mean ANY CUSTOMER. I live in this town and frequent this eatery often as the food is very good.
the problem is that the owner runs the entire restaurant by herself and refuses to let anyone help her do anything. when dining in, be prepared to wait 25 minutes after ordering for something as simple as soup and eggroll. the main course often takes an hour or even longer and thats when the restaurant is not full. if you order take out, be prepared to wait 45 minutes for it to be available for pick up and when you get there, there is always a long line of people waiting because your order is not ready. the locals in this town love the food here but we all are disgusted with the long wait times. -

Five questions for Ben Bernanke
The Senate is likely to confirm him, but not without asking things like 'How soon will you raise interest rates?'
Stephan Savoia/ AP
It's likely that Ben Bernanke will win Senate approval for a second term as chairman of the US Federal Reserve. Even his critics admit that. Financial markets might swoon if they thought their mild-mannered hero – who arguably helped stave off a depression last fall – was about to get the boot.
But that doesn't mean he won't get asked some hard questions at his confirmation hearing. The Fed's semi-autonomous role in American economic life is always a matter of deep interest on Capitol Hill. Plus, Senators are sure to want to question him about the legality, depth, and wisdom of everything from the federal government's bank bailout to its investments in GM and Chrysler.
So, yes, the Fed chief passed one test by winning President Obama's nod for renomination. The second test awaits.
"Bernanke still faces potentially tough confirmation hearings in the Senate," said Brian Bethune, chief US economist of IHS Global Insight, on Tuesday.
Here are five topics that Senators are likely to touch upon:
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE AWAY THE PUNCHBOWL? Since financial markets turned shaky last year, the Fed has pumped massive amounts of liquidity -- i.e., cash -- into the economy, via such efforts as the bank bailouts (otherwise known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program), backing of securitized consumer loans, and continued aggressive reduction of interest rates. It's been an unprecedented infusion that helped keep world commerce going. But at some point, it has to end.

Al Fayed confirms plans
04 Oct 2007 - 07:13:02
Fulham have announced plans to increase the capacity of their Craven Cottage home by 4,000 to almost 30,000.
The re-development also includes the re-opening of the riverside walk, and financial support to assist the council's continuing improvement of neighbouring Bishops Park.
If the plans are approved, the Riverside Stand will be extensively refurbished and work will begin at the end of this season.
Cottagers chairman Mohamed Al Fayed told the club's official website: "Craven Cottage is synonymous with Fulham FC and it is vital that the club is given every opportunity to develop the facilities available, to enable it to remain at its home.
"I am confident that an increased capacity and further improvements to the facilities can help us reach and maintain our business objectives."
The club moved to Craven Cottage in 1896 although they spent two seasons between 2002 and 2004 at QPR's Loftus Road while their ground was redeveloped.

A new face:
Spyro remembered what Cynder said back where they have defeated the dark master.
I love you the three words flew through his head.
`Do she really like me? do I like her?´ he thought.
Cynder noticed that Spyro was thinking about something.
is there something wrong? she asked, she looking worried at Spyro. He looked dreamily into her green emerald eyes and said:
its nothing he hesitated and said:
it's just
But then they hear an explosion
what in the world was that asked Cynder.
I dont know Spyro replied.
they both looked in the same direction; they saw a large black cloud rising from the ground.
Lets check it out Spyro said and they fly towards the black cloud.
When they arrived they saw a tired young dragoness about their age.
They landed and that noticed the young dragoness, when she saw who it was, she was almost glad, maybe even happy.
The two dragons wondered, but not for long, for all of a sudden the young dragoness hugged Cynder.
What the? said Cynder.
Sorry said the young dragoness
"you dont know who I am?" the two dragons looked so peculiar at the young dragoness.
`Who is she dos she know Cynder?´ Spyro thought.
I am Hope your sister said the young dragoness.
`What!´ thought Spyro and properly Cynder too. They were in choke, within a short time Spyro came to himself.
`Cynders sister! Now I look after they actually look alike´ Spyro thought.
Hope looks just like Cynder, but in all the spots where Cynder is purple/pink Hope is dark blue and the marks on her body are also dark blue and she don't have the horns on the back of her neck.
Cynder are you okay? asked Hope.
Cynder came to herself.
Uh ... yes, I was just not aware that I have a sister answered Cynder.
And who is the cute guy you have with you? asked Hope,
Spyros blushed and Cynder smiled at him.
this is Spyro the
but Cynder get interrupted by Hope
Spyro the purple dragon! she shouted, Hope looked straight on him, and there was quiet for a long time.
he looks very cute when she said that, it got Spyro but also Cynder to blush.
Should we go to the village? asked Hope.
what village? asked Spyro.
It is a little further down the valley answered Hope.
Well should we not just go to the village said Cynder and went quickly forward.
Wait for me said Spyro, and Hope followed them, and then they all three went down to the village.

Anyone see it? Wife and I saw it at the 12:01 showing, iMax, 3D... 3D helped with the experience imho. Thought it was a great movie, minus character development. It seemed a little rushed to me, missing out on many elements and leaving a huge cliffhanger at the end, but I would definitely go see it again. Any thoughts?
Saw it tonight. I thought it was spectacular -- probably the most visually stunning science fiction movie ever made. You're right about the character development being a bit short, but the acting was very, very good. I wonder if Ridley Scott will continue the storyline.
I saw it on opening night (1st June for us UK members) and I thought it was brilliant! I went with my brother, who is a MASSIVE Alien fan, and is very critical when it comes to films, and he loved it! Thought it was well done, and some of the little hints of Alien were good! Also, I thought the ended was brilliant!
I got to agree with everyone else,l Incredible and Ripley Scott is a guinness. Glad it was not a straight Alien prequel,. Reminded me alot of the great movie 2001, easier to understand (not to take way from that masterpiece) then that movie but same themes and questions. Can't wait to see it again.
I saw it yesterday. Hate to say but I was pretty underwhelmed. I was so looking forward to it, but it left too many questions, and seemed to thin a plot. On top of that I found some segments to be unreasonable. For example, when the 2 guys are stuck in the temple/mountain/cargo hold/weapons lab/alienwhateveruwanttocallit due to the storm, and that creature thing pops up from the black liquid on the ground. What type of moron would look to play with it like it were a little kitten or puppy? It's an alien planet, you're stuck in a scary looking temple type deal, there are dead "engineer" bodies all over the place, and you are pretty much aware of the fact that they were running from something, and you decide to go pet a serpant like creature that rises up from some black liquid, that was oosing out of a vase? Stuff like that annoys me. Even more so than the idea that some private individual would spend a trillion dollars, and travel 2+ years through space, on such a thin basis as was presented. Obviously, since it's science fiction a lot of salt has to be expected, but I was expecting more. Still worth watching though.
I watched this movie a second time last night, cuz it's on HBO now, and I figured why not give it another look. I hate to say but it was worse the second time. Everything from believing that in roughly 80 years from now, space travel like that, on a private scale, will even be possible, to the idea that a person would invest in such an endeavor, with the information given. Plus I still can't get over that ridiculous kitty cat scene in that tomb. Very underwhelming.
I'm glad someone else was underwhelmed by this. I'm a fan of Ridley Scott's work in general, but this wasn't one of his best efforts.
I think it has a bit to do with expectations maybe? I had fairly low expectations going into it, and I was pleased with the film. I'm pretty picky these days, and while I agree completely with the absurdity of the "kitty scene", I thought it was a decent enough story. Visually, it's stunning, and I like some of the premise of the film. It has its rough edges, but I'd give it a solid 6.5/10.

Various Artists, 'Dirty Water: The Birth of Punk Attitude' (Year Zero)
- SPIN Rating:9 of 10
Label: Year Zero
Compiled by Kris Needs, former editor of U.K. magazine ZigZag, this two-CD roots-of-punk anthology places Sun Ra, the Last Poets, Silver Apples, and Can alongside usual suspects the Seeds, the Stooges, and New York Dolls. It also integrates more arty, progressive influences that undergirded 1976-77 punk -- after all, Johnny Rotten cited krautrock and dub in late '70s interviews and guest DJ sets. Annotated with a 76-page booklet, Dirty Water is as scholarly as it is entertaining.

Analysis: When the system fails
Jail not the answer for young man with learning disability
Put yourself, even for just a moment, in Christopher Ferland's shoes.
The random lottery that is birth has you come into the world with a learning disability. You live on a remote, impoverished Manitoba reserve, are apprehended by the child-welfare system as a kid, bounced in and out of foster care, then transported to a large, strange city.
At 16, a relative punts you out of her home because social assistance cuts off the benefits they're willing to spend on you. You're cast onto the streets. You find temporary shelter at the Salvation Army hostel and, at times, with a another relative, but essentially, you're now a periodically homeless street kid.
Perhaps remarkably, you don't fall in with a gang or take up a criminal lifestyle to get by. Instead, you find help from a school offering a special class and a counsellor willing to work with you so you can try to overcome some cognitive challenges you live with.
But then everything changes. You find yourself arrested for a domestic assault that allegedly occurred many months before, one you deny happened. For the first time, at 19, you're thrust into an unfamiliar justice system, initially without a lawyer to guide you. Because you have no prior record, police release you to appear in court at a later date.
You turn up for that first court date, but are confused and can't navigate the bureaucracy of the courts building.
You wind up with a warrant out for your arrest for non-attendance. Over the coming months, you're rearrested several times -- a couple of them because you're not living where you told the court you would be. One rearrest comes after police see you shaking hands with someone at a downtown mall and they suspect you are dealing drugs. You're not.
Police and prosecutors give you chances to get out of custody without opposing your release, but after your fourth rearrest, the Crown now wants to see you held in custody until you deal with your charges.
A judge grudgingly gives you a fifth shot at freedom, saying he can't believe he is, but is doing so largely because he doesn't believe you're a risk to the public.
But you soon get collared as a break-and-enter suspect after being found with others in a vacant home. Police concede it's a case of "victim unknown." No damage other than to the rear door has occurred. It's not clear who broke the door.
After sitting in custody for a couple weeks, this time a different judge refuses to let you out again.
Notably, her concerns are "not so much for the safety of the community as it is a concern you won't follow court orders."
You're out of chances. Now you sit in locked custody until you resolve your charges, despite the fact you have no prior criminal record. You won't finish school this year, and you've lost the placement at where you were living.
How long resolution of your charges will take, who knows? You're contesting the initial assault allegations that put you in this predicament in the first place. Trials take time to arrange.
It's safe, however, to say you'll spend longer behind bars on remand than you would for any sentence that may get noted on your new criminal record at the end of the day.
Let's summarize the key points: You're poor, cognitively challenged, essentially homeless and without much support in life through no fault of your own.
And now, to a great degree, those factors, which are beyond your control, are preventing you from being able to follow court orders and let you stay out of jail, where you're being exposed to violence and the influence of concentrated criminality.
This is Christopher Ferland's story, by and large. It's similar to many seen in Manitoba's justice system.
I'm not going to pretend I don't agree with Judge Catherine Carlson in her decision to keep Ferland in custody this time.
It's pretty apparent giving Ferland a sixth shot at bail would make, as she felt it would, a mockery of the bail system as it exists today.
Neither can I fault newly minted Court of Queen's Bench Justice Sheldon Lanchbery for refusing to overturn Carlson's ruling this week.
Judges have a job to do, and front and centre is their responsibility to uphold the rule of law and the administration of justice.
We can, however, ask ourselves if maybe the bail system they work within -- as set out by the Criminal Code -- is broken in cases like Ferland's.
The argument can easily be made -- as it was this week by defence lawyer William Marks -- that we're criminalizing and incarcerating aboriginal people at the bail stage because of background factors they have zero control over. Remember, it was just a few weeks ago that one judge agreed to release Ferland because he didn't pose a safety risk.
If there's no risk to public safety, why are we locking him up?
It's well-established by now that aboriginal people comprise a staggering percentage of the inmate population in provincial jails. In Manitoba, it's more than 70 per cent.
Anyone with half a conscience would say this shows something is fundamentally wrong and has to change.
I believe a major issue in Manitoba is our lack of a so-called "Gladue court" where cases like Ferland's could be diverted and reassessed at all stages -- from bail to pretrial to sentencing.
If we had one, the background factors influencing why Ferland keeps getting rearrested could be examined in depth.
Detailed plans could then be put forward to secure his freedom. Those plans would try to address his unique background factors while keeping him in compliance with the law.
And our laws are clear, at least when it comes time to dish out a sentence, that "all available sanctions other than imprisonment that are reasonable in the circumstances" should be on the table, especially for aboriginal offenders.
Yes, setting up a Gladue court would mean we'd have to pony up the dough for an adequate community-resource and supervision regime.
But consider this: If we keep Ferland locked up for a total of six months, we'll have spent more than $31,000 (at the provincial estimate of $174 a day) just to keep him in jail.
And what for? Judges have already indicated he's not a risk to public safety.
That's precious taxpayer money that could have gone to providing Ferland resources to help address his homelessness and learning disability. No doubt that would be less expensive.
It's odd. In Manitoba, we're not strangers to trying innovative, problem-solving justice methods. For years, we've had drug-treatment court and recently saw the addition of a mental-health court.
These are really, at root, collaborative responses to serious social problems.
What could be a more serious social problem than people rotting in jail -- not because of serious, violent criminality, but because we refuse to innovate?
It was more than 20 years ago the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry made several recommendations regarding fair treatment of aboriginal suspects at the bail stage.
One was that provincial judges should guard against placing inappropriate release conditions, such as financial guarantees and cash deposits, on people who are destitute.
Ferland's case shows we still have a long way to go.

SANTA FE – Los Alamos National Laboratory is looking for a full-time visitor with a sharp eye for hot technology.
LANL officials held a bidder briefing for a new entrepreneurial initiative that they hope to begin with the new fiscal year in October.
The program, called the Los Alamos Venture Accumulation Initiative (LAVA), is worth up to $1 million over three years to the right company and maybe more. The funds are intended to defray a portion of the company's costs, which would include one or more "on-site" company representatives and direct expenses for each deal.
In return, the company is expected to find backing for at least three new companies.
The meeting described the initiative, the solicitation procedure and answered a number of questions about what was expected to respond to the proposal.
John Mott, who heads the Tech Transfer Division, said the laboratory is looking for a partner who could help overcome one basic problem.
"It's very difficult for us to spin out our technology," he said. "In part, that's because few venture firms invest in early-stage technology."
Typically, venture capitalists are looking for more of a package and business plan combination when they entertain investment prospects.

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Carrie Halperin, Jayce Henderson, Amanda VanAllen and J.P. Lawrence
ABC News' Sunlen Miller: "'Nothing New': Senators Dismiss Verizon Phone Record Dragnet" Obama administration officials and lawmakers in charge of overseeing American intelligence efforts reacted defensively to reports of a secret federal court order that granted the U.S. government a warrant to compile information about every phone call conducted on Verizon's network. The top Republican on the House intelligence committee said the records had "thwarted" a domestic terror plot in recent years. White House spokesman Josh Earnest called the program, which could extend beyond Verizon to just about every phone call made in the United States, a "critical tool" for protecting the country. LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Ken Dilanian and David Lauter: "Government is tracking all U.S. phone calls" he federal government has amassed a database for at least seven years containing details on virtually every telephone call made within the United States or between this country and telephones abroad, officials said Thursday, providing the first glimpse of a vast secret domestic surveillance operation. LINK
The Hill's Jeremy Herb: "Report: NSA, FBI mining data from 9 US Internet companies" The National Security Agency and FBI are mining data from the servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies under a classified program, The Washington Post reports. The classified program allows the government agencies to extract audio, video, photographs, emails and documents to track individuals, according to the Post report. LINK
The Boston Globe's Matt Viser and Noah Bierman: "Debate rages over monitoring of phone records" The disclosure of a top-secret order allowing the Obama administration to obtain phone records of millions of Americans reignited a national debate on Thursday about whether the White House is violating civil liberties, with Massachusetts lawmakers among the most vocal critics. But the administration and several top US lawmakers defended the program as a vital and necessary tool in continuing to combat potential terrorists. LINK
Bloomberg's Margaret Talev, Chris Strohm and Mike Dorning: "Lawmakers Defend U.S. Collecting Verizon Phone Records" The Obama administration and Senate Intelligence Committee leaders of both parties defended the secret collection of telephone records of millions of U.S. residents as critical to combating terrorism, with one lawmaker saying such surveillance thwarted a "significant" plot. As some members of Congress condemned the program as an intrusion in the lives of innocent Americans, the White House said Congress was regularly updated and all rules were followed. LINK
The Washington Times' Dave Boyer: "Obama administration defends NSA's secret seizure of U.S. phone records" The Obama administration on Thursday defended its secret seizure of the phone records of millions of U.S. citizens as part of counterterrorism efforts, while privacy advocates blasted the move as illegal and a debate erupted in Congress over the intended scope of a key surveillance law. The revelation that the National Security Agency has been collecting phone records from Verizon Communications of all calls within the U.S. and to sources overseas raised accusations that President Obama is running a police state, in spite of his 2008 campaign promise to expand civil liberties while prosecuting the war on terror differently from his Republican predecessor. LINK
The New York Times' Charlie Savage, Edward Wyatt and Peter Baker: "U.S. Says It Gathers Online Data Abroad" The federal government has been secretly collecting information on foreigners overseas for nearly six years from the nation's largest Internet companies like Google, Facebook and, most recently, Apple, in search of national security threats, the director of national intelligence confirmed Thursday night. The confirmation of the classified program came just hours after government officials acknowledged a separate seven-year effort to sweep up records of telephone calls inside the United States. LINK
Politico's Dave Clarke: "Report: NSA targets credit card transactions" Credit card transactions are among the activities that have been monitored by the National Security Agency as part of its effort to target possible terrorists, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night. The report does not identify the credit card companies involved and says it is unclear if the monitoring of transactions is ongoing. The news about the credit card transactions follows reports from earlier in the day that the NSA has had access to the internet servers of large technology companies, giving the agency the ability, through a program nicknamed PRISM, to track e-mails and web searches. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Siobhan Gorman, Evan Perez and Janet Hook: "U.S. Collects Vast Data Trove" The National Security Agency's monitoring of Americans includes customer records from the three major phone networks as well as emails and Web searches, and the agency also has cataloged credit-card transactions, said people familiar with the agency's activities. The disclosure this week of an order by a secret U.S. court for Verizon Communications Inc.'s phone records set off the latest public discussion of the program. But people familiar with the NSA's operations said the initiative also encompasses phone-call data from AT&T Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corp., records from Internet-service providers and purchase information from credit-card providers. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Peter Nicholas and Jess Bravin: "Obama's Civil-Liberties Record Questioned" The disclosure of a broad government effort to collect phone records of millions of U.S. consumers has rekindled a debate about President Barack Obama's commitment to civil liberties, with some lawmakers and advocacy groups saying he has broken a campaign pledge to combat terrorism in ways that protect basic freedoms. Mr. Obama's record on civil liberties was already drawing renewed scrutiny over reports that his administration has investigated journalists as part of criminal leak cases, his increased use of drones and other matters. LINK
ABC News' Alisa Wiersema: "Donald Trump to Rent a White House View for $250K a Month" Donald Trump has been coveting famous real estate on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington for a while, but now that the General Services Administration has told him "you're hired," his dreams have finally come true. GSA officials Wednesday said they had completed negotiations with the Trump Organization to remodel the Old Post Office building, which is located mere blocks away from the White House, into the newest addition of the Trump Hotel line. Under a 60-year lease agreement, the Trump Organization will invest an estimated $200 million to redevelop the 114-year-old building into the luxurious "Trump International Hotel." LINK
ABC News' Chris Good: "President Obama Announces Broadband-for-Schools Project at NC Middle School" President Obama on Thursday called for wider access to high-speed Internet in schools, prodding the Federal Communications Commission to work toward an aggressive goal that he first proposed in 2008. "In a country where we expect free WiFi with our coffee, why shouldn't we have it in our schools?" Obama asked during a visit to Mooresville Middle School outside of Charlotte, N.C. Obama said he would ask the FCC to "begin a process that will connect 99 percent of America's students to high-speed broadband Internet within five years." LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Neil Shah: "Wealth Lost in Slump Returns" Americans have rebuilt much of the wealth they lost during the recession. The net worth of U.S. households and nonprofit organizations—the value of homes, stocks and other assets minus debts and other liabilities—jumped 4.5%, or about $3 trillion, in the first three months of 2013 to $70.349 trillion. That is the highest in nominal terms since records began in 1945, according to a Federal Reserve report released Thursday. LINK
The Washington Post's Jason Horowitz: "Romney mixes business and politics at exclusive Utah conference" John Schoenfeld came to an exclusive resort here to do business with Mitt Romney. But he stayed for the politics. Schoenfeld spent most of Wednesday in a downstairs conference room of the Stein Eriksen Lodge assessing the investments of Solamere Capital, the firm co-founded by Romney's son Tagg and increasingly managed by Romney himself. Then he learned that several potential GOP presidential candidates would be attending a separate Romney conference at the same exclusive lodge. LINK
