KTM PowerParts Street Catalogue 2014 | KTM UNIVERSAL REAR BAG | JEANS LONGSLEEVE SHIRT | GIRLS TIGER SWEAT | SR SPORT HELMET 14 | KTM CUCKOO CLOCK
KTM PowerParts Street Catalogue 2014 soon available
We're almost there! The much sought-after new KTM PowerParts Street Catalogue will soon be available at the KTM dealers. This year, there is again plenty to offer in terms of Street PowerParts, especially about the bike that everyone is talking about: The "Beast" – the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R. Naturally this includes an entire new chapter in the PowerParts Street Catalogue for the SUPER DUKE with everything the heart desires – all the necessary racing gear for hot action on the world's racing circuits, and well thought out touring equipment for short or long weekend breaks right up to PowerParts that guarantee the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R individual styling through optical tuning.
Already known from the KTM PowerParts Offroad program, the KTM universal rear bag equipped with tie-down straps is not only designed for mounting on the rear of an offroad bike. It can also be used on a street bike, either as a single bag or as an addition to/on top of other luggage. Easily mounted without the need for any extra fittings, the bag is made of sturdy, waterproof material guaranteed to protect it from wind and weather. The volume of the bag is approximately five liters, enough space to store all the necessary gear.
The high quality KTM SPORT HELMET from the current KTM PowerWear collection is not only the perfect visual match to the 1290 SUPER DUKE R outfit; its discreet matte black design also works stylishly with any outfit and on every bike. Its carbon-fiberglass mix makes it very light at 1.250 g, and the comfort liner made of antibacterial fabric ensures best fit and offers the wearer optimal comfort.
Made exclusively for KTM by Suomi
Available in sizes from XS/54-XXL/64
The KTM denim shirt in classic dark blue denim and fashionably styled with embossed racing and helmet motif is super trendy but not too brash and suitable for almost any occasion.
100% Cotton
Available in sizes from S to XXL
The KTM's GIRLS TIGER SWEAT with kangaroo pouch is available in light grey with white graphics and is rather discrete in color. The original KTM fuel tank graphic, the absolute classic logo from 1953, still speaks for itself and the washed cotton quality is very comfortable to wear.
70% Cotton / 30% Polyester
Available in sizes from XS to XL
Long awaited, now available: the original, the cool KTM Cuckoo Clock with antlered helmet and piston pendulum. And at each full hour how could it be otherwise? Instead of a cuckoo, a KTM appears from behind the small doors and reminds you with engine roars that what you really want to be doing is to be on your bike and revving up ready to ride. Unless the cuckoo function is completely turned off, the cuckoo only sleeps between the hours of 10 pm and 5 am.
Size: approximately 20 x 30 x 10 cm

subset: commoncrawl

I don't think that dhewm3 is well tested for RoE, it works for the main game - I completely finished it with some crashes but RoE crashes much more often - especially when you use the grabber and catch a fireball. I did not try Dante that long because it has some rendering errors with the replacement shaders - basically the approach is much better when you want to base a new game on it - then you could not reuse the "official" doom 3 shaders as they are not open source.
Maybe somebody should talk to the the Quake 4 and Prey developers to release the source as well.
Doom 3 BFG would be nice to have on Linux - as Steam game it would be great. The game is simpler than the original as you find LOTS of ammo and you have got a flashlight which can be used together with any weapon. From the engine options it is more like Rage. Rage would be cool to have on Linux as well. I'm not really happy that idsoftware does not see any positive things that would come with an official client - now when Steam gets popular i guess many would invest in native Linux games.
Ok, wine is able to run Rage and Doom 3 BFG basically since release at good speed but native games would definitely be nice.
I really would like to know how many ppl really played Doom 3 on Linux with a self compiled build...

Who wrote the letter to Jon? Theon, Ramsey, Roose, Mance, Jon writing to Mance who is acting as Jon, the 1989 Denver Broncos? Hodor!!! Too many baby swaps for mortals to comprehend Pgs 50-84 Jaime gets his sword hand revived by Thoros; becomes a bad-ass duel wielder Robb will be revived with Grey Wind's head...

The Maesters will side with the Others Alleras isn't after a dragon egg but knowledge on how to train dragons which would be more useful to Dany... Tarly will side with Aegon Ser Barriston will die fighting the embodiment of Winter as no normal person left could defeat him A lot of talk about a re-read thread...but it appears that thread died long ago This thread is a lazy river that eventually runs into an 180ft waterfall on occasion ASOIAF is a lazy river that eventually runs into a 180ft waterfall on occasion Samwell's death will potentially be the most gut-wrenching in the series-can a man still be brave if he's afraid? Something isn't IN Littlefinger's tapestries, but ON them Bran will turn bad, but will redeem himself somehow The Others=Creatures of the forest (...evolution? laying with giants?) Brandon Stark received a letter from Lyana describing her and Rhaegars love but he either dismissed it as Rhaegar's writing or as a slap in the face to the Starks Arya is the Volonqar-androgynous term (I so want Arya or Jamie to kill Cersei) Varys lied to Aerys about Rhaegar's plotting to cause disruption in the seven kingdoms Jon is a descendent of Bael the Bard Jon is Arya's Nissa Nissa-Stick him with the pointy end A dragon is sleeping beneath winterfell-source of warm water wells There is a dragon egg near the wall that is white with red specks-referring to Jon's dragon?

Posted by BluegrassBelle on 8/14 at 6:11 pm to CottonWasKing I was going to start this if you didn't cause I'm itching to talk about it. RE: Theon and the Hooded Man I think it's possible that it could be Theon seeing himself. But the one thing that doesn't past the smell test with that is the Hooded Man calls him a Kinslayer. We know that Theon didn't slay his "kin" Bran or Rickon. So that leads me to believe the Hooded Man is either a Stark or Stark supporter. I'd throw my guess in that it could be Benjen Stark (I read somewhere that Martin debunked that he was Coldhands) since "A Stark Must Always be in Winterfell" and I think someone has entered through the crypts.

Posted by CottonWasKing on 8/14 at 6:22 pm to BluegrassBelle quote: Theon doesn't know what has happened to Bran and Rickon though. He has to assume that they are roaming around the North in the dead of winter. Its a pretty logical conclusion to think they are dead. Therefore he has to think in the back of his mind that he drove them from the safety of Winterfell and ultimately killed them. quote: My problem with Benjen is I believe he would've went to Castle Black first. He is far too loyal to break his oaths to the nights watch and that is exactly what he did if he is in fact in Winterfell. This post was edited on 8/14 at 6:25 pm Reply Back to Top |

Posted by BluegrassBelle on 8/14 at 6:26 pm to CottonWasKing Some of the other theories I've seen that's crazy and/or intriguing: - The Weirwood paste that Bran eats to awaken his latent Weirwood seeing late in ADwD is actually made up of some of Jojen Reed. If you recall, Jojen is currently unable to be found and was pretty sick when they arrived at the caves. There's a lot of descriptions of the paste tasting like blood, looking veiny, and etc. I figure it either has parts of someone in it or is a representation that the Weirwoods are "alive". Here's a pretty big thread on it: LINK - That Jon's parents are Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen (pretty much gospel in most parts these days) - That Jon will be Azor Ahai reborn. - That Dany could potentially be Jon's Nissa Nissa when it's all said and done. For those who are wondering WTF Azor Ahai and Nissa Nissa are you can read here: LINK Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Boudin on 8/14 at 6:29 pm to CottonWasKing Im curious man, love the story and I like to read but frick its hard to read a book after knowing whats going to happen. Maybe I should pick up the third book but then that leads to issues itself. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by CottonWasKing on 8/14 at 6:30 pm to BluegrassBelle quote: I believe in all of these. quote: I haven't really read this one before but I believe that Bran has already eaten human flesh before.

Yea those were the rangers that deserted and Cold hands killed. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by BluegrassBelle on 8/14 at 6:31 pm to CottonWasKing quote: True, but I don't think that necessarily would make him a kinslayer. Piece of shite human being? Yes. quote: It depends on how he was sent there. There's some speculation that it could've been by the way of the Children of the Forest. Remember, when he disappeared I don't think even Ned had died yet. A lot has happened since then, so there's no telling what he would do. The Theon theory is cool too though. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by CottonWasKing on 8/14 at 6:34 pm to Boudin quote: Azor Ahai is a legendary figure from hundreds of years before the story starts. He originally fought and defeated The Others with a sword made of Fire called Lightbringer. When he forged Lightbringer he was forced to temper the blade by stabbing it through the heart of his wife and only love. His wife's name was Nissa Nissa. There is a prophecy saying that AA will return and be reborn admist smoke and fire. We believe that Jon is AA and Dany is Nissa Nissa. This post was edited on 8/14 at 6:36 pm Reply Back to Top |

Posted by ATLienTiger on 8/14 at 6:38 pm to CottonWasKing I enjoy threads like these, since I no longer frequent Westeros and such forums I am not up to date with ADWD theories and such. Nor am I up to date with tWoW readings. That Jojen one in particular I found very interesting, but I'd tend to think it's the latter, that Weirwoods are alive. All the other stuff I tend to ignore, you can only read so many opinions on hints on the same theory/idea till it just starts to annoy you Reply Back to Top |

They are not human beings, but they are persons (individuals) under the law. They have rights and responsibilities just like other persons. Have I just made it more confusing?
Just for fun I looked up the pay scale for chair umpires and line judges in tennis and found this.
The pay for officiating at the U.S. Open is $115 to $250 per day. The umpires are suing the United States Tennis Federation, charging unfair labor practices for not paying overtime for officiating at delayed matches. The USTF's position is that these umpires and judges are not "employees" but rather "independent contractors," so they are not protected under federal labor laws.
I think it it next to impossible to overcome more than a century of tradition that figure skating is at heart an amateur enterprise run largely by unpaid volunteers.Originally Posted by gkelly
Would that same thinking apply to changing a scoring system with a close to a hundred year tradition? The grand audacity of such a comment is breathtaking in it's (lack of ) scope.
Is one tradition sacred and the other meaningless? What in the world do you really mean here
Tennis anyone
Tennis has changed with the times and adopted state of the art technology. The umpires are close to being ceremonial now and don't decide the close calls anymore.
The players are making so much money there are few arguments. Everybody is happy because the sport is booming.
ETA: Your use of the term "amateur" got me thinking.
Tennis used to be an amateur sport - and the Opens were closed to professionals who had there own circuit.
When the TV money came in Tennis - like Skating - and most other sports changed and experienced real growth.
Why have so many sports been able to adapt with the times and sustain their growth and success?
What happened to skating?
It's seems hard to deny the management of skating - ISU - has failed not just the fans but the skaters too.
When a sport or team has a failure like the SLC scandal, a terrible losing season, or loss of major TV revenues what happens?
Does a team fire all the players or is it typically managment that pays the price by being changed?

Because they're not seeing them as individuals, but as representatives of a power structure.
I think to some extent this happens even with people who are within the system themselves to some extent. Members of skating clubs might look at club policies as coming from club leaders imposing rules on the rank-and-file members, rather than getting involved in club decision making themselves.
Even club presidents might resent policies coming down from federation headquarters. And federation officials might feel the same way about ISU decisions.
But for those who see only the elite skating on TV and read about the top-down decisions in print/internet coverage of the sport, the whole volunteer structure is invisible.
Ask your fellow Americans! Why aren't they loving classical music and opera, but are crazy about whatever modern pop singers like Gaga and Bieber? Why aren't they loving ice skating, but prefer so much more on snow boarding and skate boarding? Why aren't they wearing semi-formal dresses to go shoppings like most people in Asian and European countries, but love to wear shorts and slippers everywhere?
I am soooooooooo glad I don't have to get all dressed up to run in and get a couple of things at the store... jeans and a tshirt work just fine for me.
It's interesting to hear some philosophical thinking, but it raises a few simple questions.
How much do you know about other sports?
Just about everyone knows the term "soccer mom." For every skater and skating club with it volunteers there are hundreds of thousands more who particpate in other sports.
Community organizations and clubs for sports played by kids like soccer, little league baseball and football depend on volunteers for everything from the coaching to the refs. They organize fundraisers and depend on sponsors to help pay for uniforms and equipment.
To think you have some special and unique knowledge of the volunteering spirit in American sports culture or that it only exists in skating is mind-boggling.
You mention TV fans of elite skating frequently and with a dismissive tone at times.
How much interest do members here have about the latest news from your local skating club compared with elite events?
If you see that as a problem care to tell us why?
And why do you suppose US Skating tries to make sure Natls is televised? Why is it they show the elite skaters rather than covering novice, juniors or adult skating?
Should that be changed? If so, how would it help?

I agree that slippers and pajamas at the mall are a little too much.
But...United States culture hss a strong current of egalitarianism. For better or for worse, we tend to celebrate what is most common in the common man.
Figure skating runs the risk of being regarded as a hoity-toity sport for rich kids. Our big heros in the sport are people like Peggy Fleming and Dorothy Hamill. They were not born princesses, but rather girls-next-door who won their tiaras by old-fashioned values like hard work, dedication, talent, etc., etc., while never losing their down-to-earth charm.
I never said anything about volunteering spirit in American sports culture.
My point is that elite-level skating events such as senior nationals and international competitions are run primarily by volunteers and are part of the same structures that sustain purely amateur participation, even at the highest levels. Any changes proposed need to take that into account and not assume that skating could easily model itself on the way professional for-profit sports are run. There's a much bigger disconnect between professional football leagues (in either the American or worldwide meaning of "football") and amateur teams than there is between elite skating and amateur skating.
A handful of the very elite earn more money from skating than they spend on training some years, but those skaters are competing in the very same competitions (e.g., national championships, ISU championships, senior Bs) against skaters who will never earn a dime from competition, or from skating at all unless they coach or join an ice show.
Since skating championships are large amateur events relying on expert volunteer labor, professionalizing those experts would add to the costs long before it would add to the income stream.
Amateur sports can sell broadcast rights and bring in money to offset the costs of running events. For skating events, the largest costs are ice time and travel/accommodations for the officials (and the competitors and coaches for some international events). Paying salaries would require a whole other level of income.
If you want to propose an actual change to how skating is run, try giving some specifics of what you propose based on how things actually work now. If you want to separate off an elite level that's entirely professional, explain where and how you would make the cutoff point.
There are a few members of my local skating club who are international judges. We feel honored when they find time in their schedules to judge at local competitions and test sessions. If they were "professional" judges, would they still be able to volunteer that time?
Oh really?
Who wrote this:
"the whole volunteer structure is invisible". (gkelly - post #52)
Again the use of the term "amateur" which mathman also used is disturbing.
It is hard to discuss something when the premise is based on a falsehood.
Some think skaters like Alissa and even Plushenko are "amateurs."
I can't buy that. They are receiving money from their federations, they skate in professional shows and also can earn money from appearing in commercials.
I mentioned that Tennis before the TV era was primarily an amateur sport. Through very good management Tennis changed and adapted with the times.
Serena made 2 million dollars for winning the US Open.
What did Ashley make winning the US Figure skating championship? Or what will she make if she wins Skate America this season?
By simply asking the last two questions basically proves skaters at the elite level are not amateurs
To deny - or worse ignore - the difference in the quality of the management between Tennis and skating is simply incredible.

I said nothing about the volunteer spirit in skating or any other sport. You're reading things into my posts that aren't there.
Maybe I'm doing the same to you and we're talking at cross-purposes.
As I said, the top skaters at US Nationals get enough funding from the federation, and in some cases prize money at international competitions, to make a profit over the cost of their training expenses.
But they have to compete at Nationals to earn the right to receive that money and get those international assignments.
MOST of the senior ladies at Nationals earn no prize money, will be lucky if they get any senior B or JGP assignment the next year, and will receive only token amounts of funding, if any. They are amateurs.
And sometimes some of them can beat Alissa Czisny. Look at 2010.
To put it another way, since you're a janetfan, Janet Lynn was a strict amateur during the time she was competing, according to the rules of the time.
USFSA sold broadcast rights to show Nationals on TV even then.

No doubt we are at "cross-purposes."
You seem to defend ISU like your life depends on it - and I see a series of major blunders made by this organization that has truly hurt skating in USA.
It doesn't take a genius to interpret the key demographic that 70% of skating fans in USA are women.
The destruction of Pro skating in USA was not accidental. It was a choice and engineered by ISU.
Isn't it nice to hear how many fans like the Japan Open? As if a Pro Am event it was actually a Japanese idea.
Are you aware of the fact that the most successful sports can't make major changes without the approval of the participating athletes?
Tennis players are the most powerful group when it comes to determining the future of Tennis. It's similar in baseball, football and basketball.
In skating it is a bunch of old men with outdated ideas and no real vison for the future of the sport who are calling the shots.
Recently they changed the established governing rules of the sport to REMAIN IN POWER.
Why do you suppose they did that? For the love of volunteering their time?

What?! Obama's from Timbuktu?! I thought he was from Moneygall, Co. Offaly!!!
I've often though myself that Anna doesn't really look like a typical Russian. And yes, her skin colour does suggest something more Middle Eastern.
However, I just did a search for the surname Pogorilaya on both Google (an advanced search for results without the word "Anna" in them), and on vKontakte. And most of the results coming up are of people from the Ukraine, or at least living in Russia, but near the Ukrainian border.
I think Olympia is referring to the fact that Misha Ge was born in Russia rather than mistakingly saying that he skates for Russia. (She wouldn't make that sort of silly mistake! )
But, of the options available to him, I think Misha has definitely gone down the right route with skating for Uzbekistan!
I have to say, I loved the way Olympia described Misha as " a walking, talking United Nations"!
When I read the phrase, I instantly thought of Nicole Scherzinger. Imagine if she was a figure skater rather than a singer. Who would she represent?
- the USA (via her Mum being half-Hawaiian);
- Russia (via her Mum being half-Russian);
- the Philippines (via her Dad being of Filipino descent);
- Germany (via her step-Dad being of German descent)
The difference with Ashley is that she was born on an American military base in Germany.
Now, I admit that I know nothing about this sort of thing, but I have a feeling that US military bases are classed as American territory, and as such are run under American law rather than local law. Therefore, any babies born on the base are still classed as being American.
On the other hand, with a surname like Wagner, she is bound to have German blood in her anyway! But, I am not sure if it is recent enough in itself to entitle her to German nationality.
Now I would love to see that switch! Cesario should have been competing as a senior for years now, but there just aren't enough slots in the American team for her. But, Italy would definitely be a good option! After seeing her at Junior Worlds, Cesario is definitely good enough to get into that team!
But, as Carolina was my first skating crush, I don't want to see her retire any time soon!!!

QUOTE (dkw @ Aug 1 2010, 10:35 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Can you remember which teams it was we nilled at DP? I remember one being Bradford.
We only nilled one team at DP - beat Salford 34-0 - but we kept other teams to low scores such as Fev 2, Hull 4 etc
Also, that was the season we got the club record victory when we beat Leigh 94-4.

ASCS Northwest Media, COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (May 14, 2011) – With races being washed out all across the country on Saturday, fans at Cottage Grove Speedway felt fortunate to have Brian Crockett and his amazing crew on hand to wait out a passing rain shower in order to prepare a track suitable for three wide racing and tons of passing.
Leading all thirty laps of the feature race during the Saturday night portion of the ASCS Northwest Mike Burdett Memorial Grove Classic, Roger Crockett and his Omlid & Swinney Fire Protection & Security-SKS Racing-Rocket Designs-Brian Crockett Motorsports-Ostrich Engine-KPC Chassis-#11 team went on to grab their second win of the ASCS Northwest's double feature season opener.
Henry Van Dam finished second due to a patient advancement through the field climbing from sixteenth to the runner up position earning him the night's Travis Rutz Hard Charger Award. Although Crockett commanded all thirty laps, Van Dam made a valiant charge near the end of the race tapping Crockett's tail tank and nearly getting past him.
Snohomish, WA's Seth Bergman maintained his third place starting position with Friday night's hard charger Chadd Noland racing his way to fourth. Eugene, OR's Nate Morelock rounds out the top five.
ASCS Northwest's 2010 Champion Jason Solwold was storming toward the front until he and pole starter Josh DeWitt made contact on lap fifteen sending both racers to the back. Solwold's efforts for a comeback earned him an eighth place finish with Princeton, CA's Mason Moore in sixth and Tacoma, WA's Mitch Olson right behind him in seventh. Oregon's Chad Groves and Kyle Miller complete the top ten.

Slang for sex, especially if it occurs prior to mealtime, and if mealtime involves poultry, so much the better. Also can be referred to as "deboning the chicken bag", to clarify the actual act.
"Frances, Hope and I are hungry. Are you and Jeffrey done deboning the chicken? If not, hurry up and finish deboning the chicken bag, so that you can get back to cooking."

An interface designed especially for editors. Smart templates for making changes on the fly during editing. And easy-to-use motion graphics tools for creating eye-catching titles, transitions and effects. Motion is the perfect companion to Final Cut Pro.
Designed with editors in mind, Motion features a familiar interface that lets you easily create titles, transitions and effects for Final Cut Pro.
Familiar interface
The Motion interface has been designed to make it easy for Final Cut Pro editors to use — complete with a single-window layout, enhancements for the Retina display on MacBook Pro, dual-monitor support, redesigned icons and a darker look that clarifies colour perception. Many filters now include onscreen controls for direct manipulation of effects, and keyframe editing is much more accessible thanks to a new view that displays the Keyframe Editor underneath the timeline.
Parameter Rigs
Rigs let you adjust related parameters with a single control — a slider, pop-up menu or tickbox. For example, change the colours of all the objects in your project in a single step, or apply a complicated logo to a scene with a click. Set up rigs with drag-and-drop ease and change them at any time. Because rigs let you switch quickly between options in real time, they are ideal for Smart Motion Templates used by Final Cut Pro editors.
Smart Motion Templates
Motion includes intelligent templates that let you work with high-quality effects, titles, transitions and generators as you edit in Final Cut Pro. Create Smart Motion Templates with any combination of parameters. Or use rigs, which let you control a group of parameters with a simple slider, pop-up menu or tickbox. For titles, define fixed durations for intro and outro sections, and Final Cut Pro adjusts the title body to fit the timing in the middle. You can even set up templates with multiple aspect ratios and let Final Cut Pro automatically use the correct layout based on the frame size of your footage. Publish templates to Final Cut Pro simply by saving them.
Template editor for Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro includes a rich content library featuring titles, transitions, effects and generators. Open any of these templates in Motion for further customisation, then publish your modified template to Final Cut Pro by saving it. The new template is available for use immediately.
Work faster than ever at the highest quality — even with complex projects, large image files and sophisticated effects. And design with confidence, knowing that colours look identical in Final Cut Pro.
Optimised for multiple GPUs
Motion uses the high-speed GPU on the graphics card to speed up tasks across the app. And Motion is optimised to use both GPUs in the new Mac Pro so you can render and export faster and create deeper, more complex effects that play in real time as you work.
64-bit architecture
Like Final Cut Pro, Motion is now a full 64-bit application. This means that Motion can support deeper, more interesting multilayered effects for use in Final Cut Pro.
Shared Render Engine
Motion shares a render engine with Final Cut Pro and Compressor for consistent speed and quality across applications. The engine allows Motion projects to play back in Final Cut Pro without rendering, so you can get to work immediately.
Resolution independence
Motion has no size limit for still images or clips. You can import and export images of any size without scaling or cropping.
ColorSync-managed colour pipeline
Motion relies on Apple's ColorSync colour management for display and processing, producing accurate and consistent colour from import to render and export. Colours look the same whether you're playing back media in Motion, Final Cut Pro or QuickTime Player.
High-quality rendering
The high-quality rendering in Motion makes it possible to compute realistic effects with extraordinary precision using floating-point, linear-light colour space calculations. You get the same exceptional results for blurs, scales and lighting effects as you would from high-end compositing software.
Cocoa foundation
Motion is an OS X–native application built with the Apple Cocoa framework. It uses modern interface technologies like Core Animation and is enhanced for the Retina display on MacBook Pro.
Motion features a real-time design engine that lets you see your work immediately, along with a deep set of tools and content for creating and animating complex motion graphics.
Real-time design engine
The interactivity built into every aspect of Motion lets you make adjustments during live playback and instantly see results. Create animations without a second thought by recording your actions in real time as you move objects around on the Canvas.
Behaviours — such as Gravity, Repel, Throw and Vortex — let you create natural-looking motion without programming. Just apply a behaviour to any object, then adjust the duration and position in 2D or 3D space. You can combine behaviours for more complex motion effects. Choose special-purpose Text behaviours or the Audio behaviour, which triggers parameter changes based on the audio frequency of a track.
Professional content libraries
Build stunning 2D and 3D compositions by choosing from more than 1,900 Apple-designed, royalty-free elements — including vector artwork, high-resolution images and animated design elements.
Full keyframe curve editing
For precise control of the timing and position of all the elements in your animation, open the intuitive keyframe tools in Motion. Use flexible curve interpolation — with options such as Linear, Bezier and Continuous — to quickly establish smooth parameter changes. You can also draw curves using a freehand tool, or move, stretch and squish groups of keyframes using the Transform box.
Instantly see words fly, swoop or slide through the frame, using drag-and-drop behaviours and intuitive text animation tools. Dynamic, real-time feedback makes it easy to experiment freely.
Text creation tools
Flexibly adjust a wide variety of text parameters, including position, opacity, rotation, format, style and layout — with new support for right-to-left and vertical text for languages such as Japanese, Chinese and Arabic. Vector-based characters scale, skew and rotate with pristine sharpness. New search-and-replace functionality makes it easy to find and modify words and phrases across your entire project.
Credit rolls
Motion lets you set up a scroll in just a few steps — even for long lists of production credits. Just import a text file, or type the credits if you prefer. The Scroll behaviour optimises the speed based on whether you need progressive or interlaced outputs. To check the details of your text, jump to any location in the scroll by clicking the preview.
Text animations
Quickly animate text on or off the screen by choosing from more than 100 behaviours, including Type On and Blur Out. You can easily modify parameters to get the look you want. Or use text-on-a-path to set your text in motion on a trajectory that angles, bends or twists. You can also create unique animations simply by moving letters where you want them.
Adjust Glyph tool
The Adjust Glyph tool offers an intuitive way to animate a text character in 3D. Just select the character and make adjustments directly in the Canvas. Choose Move, Scale, Rotate or Adjust Four Corner, which lets you skew or corner-pin the face, outline, glow or shadow style of the character.
Text generators
Text generators automate common tasks that otherwise would take hours to complete by hand. One generator lets you create numbers that count up or down in sequence or change randomly. You can also generate time-and-date sequences that play forwards or backwards, and set up timecode sequences for any standard frame rate. Or take any text file and use a generator to display lines of text in sequence.
Sequence Text behaviour
Automatically ripple a text sequence one character, word or line at a time. Manipulate a single glyph and adjust its parameters, then apply the behaviour to animate those changes through the entire text sequence. You can also apply any of the more than 200 Text Sequence behaviour presets for instant effects.
Just drag and drop to assemble impressive animations, with a choice of more than 200 filters and effects built into Motion. Then fine-tune your work with precise controls.
Behaviours library
Quickly build eye-catching animations with any combination of more than 230 behaviours included in Motion. Choose a behaviour to instantly create animations such as camera moves, grows, shrinks, throws and spins. You can even use behaviours for lifelike simulations of wind, gravity and other natural movements.
Match moving and point tracking
Motion lets you quickly create a motion path that tracks a moving object in a video clip. Motion analyses the path of the object and suggests the best potential tracking points, eliminating hours of trial and error. Attach images, particles, filters, paint strokes or the control points of a mask to any tracking path.
Linking behaviour
The Linking behaviour uses the animation parameters of one object to drive other objects. For example, the rotation of one wheel on a car could drive the rotation of the other wheels. Apply the behaviour, then define the range and scale of each associated animation.
Customisable paint effects
Create a unique look for your project by setting up your own paintbrushes and 3D strokes. Use any of the more than 140 brush presets. Or you can design your own brushes using colour gradients or QuickTime files, and create pressure-sensitive brushstrokes that paint gradient colours or particle dabs. Easily make vector-based strokes weave through 3D space.
Optical flow retiming
Slow down or speed up your footage with stunning quality, thanks to the optical flow processing in Motion. Dynamic retiming behaviours let you adjust the speed while your clip is playing. You can slide retiming effects anywhere on the clip as you work, and apply ease-in/ease-out parameters to smoothly ramp in and out of retiming effects.
Broad image format support
Work seamlessly with a wide range of common graphics file formats, including BMP, JPEG, PICT, PNG, TIFF and Targa. Motion also supports PDF and layered Photoshop (PSD) files, and it's easy to combine multiple formats in a single project.
FxPlug 3
FxPlug 3 is Apple's standard for filters and effects. Choose from more than 130 built-in FxPlug filters and generators, or bring in third-party effects. If they are built on FxPlug 3, third-party effects can support 64-bit processing and GPU acceleration — including dual-GPU playback and rendering on the new Mac Pro. They can also include custom interfaces with unique controls that appear in Motion and can be published to Final Cut Pro X.
SmoothCam and image stabilisation
SmoothCam eliminates camera jitters and bumps while retaining standard camera moves such as pans, tilts and zooms. Image stabilisation lets you smooth a bumpy camera move or lock down a shaky shot, without time-consuming setup. Both features use optical flow analysis for superior quality.
Easy chroma keying
Create an accurate chroma key in a single step. Just drag and drop the new Keying filter for an instant chroma key that is accurate for most projects. If the green- or blue-screen background in your footage is unevenly lit, you can use advanced controls, including an intuitive colour wheel, to fine-tune the results.
Advanced particle systems and replicators
Particles are used to create real-world effects such as smoke and sparkles, but they can also add dazzling details to any animation. Start with the built-in library of more than 200 particle emitter presets or design your own. Replicators let you set up mesmerising, repeating patterns in 2D or 3D space, following a geometric shape.
Sophisticated masking tools
Masking lets you control when and how objects appear in your project. You can quickly create a mask by using the alpha, luminance or RGB values of an image, then fine-tune the edges using Bezier or B-spline controls. For complex masking tasks, just combine and blend shapes. Animate any mask and even change the mask over time by tracking individual vertices.
Video editors can use Motion to create beautiful 3D animations without programming. The 3D environment offers familiar, intuitive tools, with real-time results as you work.
3D environment
Instantly transition from 2D to 3D space by adding a camera or cameras to any 2D project while preserving your 2D groups. Then animate cameras to create breathtaking movement in 3D space and give 3D objects a realistic look with controls for depth of field, shadows and reflections. Bring in 3D particles and replicator patterns for more elaborate projects.
Depth of field
Selectively define focus as an object moves in 3D space. Quickly define a range of focus that lets you highlight or de-emphasise various objects, and see the results as you experiment. To create a rack-focus effect, just add Focus behaviours.
Camera Framing behaviour
Track objects or groups of objects with drag-and-drop ease by applying the Camera Framing behaviour. Onscreen controls let you adjust how each object is framed by the camera. Apply the Camera Framing behaviour repeatedly over time to animate the camera passing from one object to another.
Creating realistic 3D shadows has never been easier. Set up point lights and spot lights to cast a shadow, then select the objects that will receive the shadow. You can fine-tune the appearance of any shadow by specifying colours and edge types. When you set your elements in motion, the shadows animate dynamically with the movement of objects and lights.
Reflections add excitement or realism to objects moving in 3D space. Turn any shape, video plane or paint stroke into a reflective surface, add blur to soften reflections, and use the Falloff feature to fade reflections as the object moves away from the light.
Save time without compromising quality by using preconfigured output settings and the efficient ProRes codec.
Single-step export settings
Use the Share menu for output options that are preconfigured for popular devices and destinations. Export projects in formats for iPad, iPhone, iPod, Apple TV, DVD or Blu-ray discs,* or publish directly to destinations such as YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook. You can also export to formats such as ProRes 422, ProRes 4444 and H.264. Export a QuickTime file of your project to import your motion graphics into other applications like iMovie.

The Century theater in Aurora, Colo., was closed for six months after the shooting where 12 people were killed and 70 injured. / Ed Andrieski, AP
AURORA, Colo. (AP) - Some recited the names of the dead. Some are doing good deeds for their neighbors. And some will practice yoga, take a nature walk or simply talk.
Coloradans looked for ways to heal as they marked the anniversary of the Aurora movie theater massacre with a city-sponsored "Day of Remembrance."
It was one year ago Saturday that a gunman opened fire early into a packed midnight screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises." The rampage lasted less than two minutes but left deep wounds that still ache today in Aurora, Colorado's third-largest city which spreads out across the rolling plains on Denver's eastern side.
Twelve people died, including a 6-year-old girl. Seventy were hurt, some of them paralyzed. Countless others inside the theater and out bear the invisible wounds of emotional trauma.
"There's no script for something like this," said Nancy Sheffield, who helped plan the Day of Remembrance. What the city wants, she said, is "the ultimate way to remember the victims, the families, the survivors, in a healing way and going forward for our community."
Parents, siblings and survivors of those slain gathered early Saturday on the lawn outside Aurora's City Hall for a ceremony of prayer, song and remarks from Mayor Steve Hogan and Gov. John Hickenlooper. A U.S. flag atop the building fluttered in the breeze, backlit by the rising sun.
For the rest of the day, residents were encouraged to volunteer for community projects ranging from painting at a church to tending a community garden, from sorting food bank donations to donating blood.
Spiritual and mental health counselors were available, along with art therapy projects and poetry readings.
Democratic state Rep. Rhonda Fields, whose district includes the renamed Cinemark theater, said she is still numb and in mourning.
"It hasn't fully mended after a year," she said.
Fields said she isn't surprised by that. Her son, Javad Marshall-Fields, and his fiancee were shot to death in 2005 to keep Marshall-Fields from testifying in a murder trial.
"I'm all too familiar to losing someone to gun violence," Fields said. "I know someone's missing that used to be part of the unit."
At about noon on Friday, Fields and other volunteers began reading the names of the more than 2,500 people who have been died in gun-related violence in the U.S. since the Newtown, Conn., massacre in December. The last volunteer to read names was Stephen Barton, who was wounded last year in the theater shooting.
Immediately after Barton was finished, the group of about 40 volunteers held a moment of silence at 12:38 a.m. Saturday, the time the shooting began one year earlier. The silence lasted for 82 seconds to represent the 12 people killed and the 70 who were wounded in the theater.
The ceremony under temporary flood lights at Cherry Creek State Park in Aurora was sponsored by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, not the city of Aurora. A gun rights group, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, contended the ceremony wrongly politicized a tragedy to promote gun control, so it staged a counter-rally nearby.
Anniversary observances of tragedies can help victims heal, said Charles Figley, a professor at Tulane University in New Orleans and director of the university's Traumatology Institute.
"They bring people together and they recognize that they're not alone, that they are part of something bigger than they are, and that's protection. It's a sense of safety," he said.
People who endure a trauma commonly face five questions, Figley said: What happened; why did it happen; why did I act the way I did at the time, and since; what if it happens again?
"So when you have a gathering, they're able to more completely answer those questions for themselves, and communities can answer those questions for themselves," Figley said.
Saturday's events were well chosen, Fields said.
"Basically the focus is on the victims and their loss and the way to get the community together around a common purpose," she said.

The 2012 event, held in and around Germany's Saxony was dominated by the French national team buoyed by the inclusion of three top class riders from the KTM Enduro Factory Team: Christophe Nambotin, Antoine Meo and Johnny Aubert.

Australia fielded a strong lineup and was second in the coveted World Trophy and Italy, the 2013 ISDE host, was third.

The ISDE offers riders from all over the world six days of top class Enduro racing and organizers of the 2013 edition, considered to be the 'Olympics' of offroad racing, report record numbers of pre-entries. They expect 600 riders from 40 nations from all five continents.

"Smaller than it looks"
For the price, this is a decent dog bed. But it is smaller than I anticipated. I read the previous review about golden retrievers using it and expected it to be larger. So if you order it, just pay attention to the dimensions.
"Great Dog Pillow Shams"
I bought two of these fleece pillow sham dog beds for my two golden retrievers, Rose and Blanche. They arrived and I stuffed them with two old goose feather/down pillows I had in my linen closet. They looked great! I considered using them on my bed as decoration, but, since I bought them for The Golden Girls I put them in the corner of my bedroom in a space created by the bedside table and dresser. I overlapped the non filled flaps so there was a pillow at each end of the space. The entire floor area was covered. At the same time I spent $75 on a large biscuit dog bed. The girls are seven year old sisters and sleep together. They won't touch the large bed and got on the fleece pillow beds and won't get off. I got up at 4:00 am this morning to go to work and asked them if they wanted to join me for breakfast. They looked at me like I was crazy. I left for work an hour later and they were still in bed (there is a dog door in the room so they don't need me to open doors). Anyway, buy this $9.99 dog bed if you want your dogs to know they are loved. Anyone want my large unused biscuit bed?

Actually, the preferred way would not be including this in Mesa as ONLY version, but to continue to have support for the s3tc-enabled libtxc_dxtn.
This can be realized for example by Linux distributions setting this to "Provide:" libtxc_dxtn, and shipping this one by default. Then the user can replace it by the "full" libtxc_dxtn with S3TC support by an apt-get command (on Debian/Ubuntu). Alternatively, an alternatives mechanism can be used (update-alternatives) to even allow both packages to be installed at the same time.
Also, Mesa COULD include this code, or reimplement S2TC on their own (in a probably more optimized and faster fashion). In any case, I would prefer support for full S3TC libtxc_dxtn to remain.


text: Cameron could become a real leader, offer to lead the UK into the Euro for the price of meaningful reforms to the CAP, the Fishery Policy, the monitoring of the structural funds, like common Britons apply for pay day loans and many other aspects of the EU. Still I am happy that this process of defining Britain's relationship with the EU is finally starting now. Good can come of it. The UK and her people will better understand their position and options. Also if more countries follow the UK's lead in starting renegotiations it could still trigger reform in the EU.

Baseball Cards Fact Sheet
The popular All-American pastime of collecting baseball cards has been around almost as long as the actual sport of baseball. The thrill of seeing a collection grow with the addition of each card can be addictive. Throughout the years, just as the game of baseball has experienced change, the art of collecting baseball cards has also undergone significant changes.

Revenues, But Not Profits, Soar For Hollywood In 2013
Originally published on Sat January 4, 2014 12:38 pm
2013 was an up and down year at the movies. There was a crop of box office flops. "The Lone Ranger" and "After Earth" fell into that trap. Steven Spielberg went so far as to predict an implosion of the film industry. Despite all that, 2013 looks to be the most lucrative year ever at the box office, but don't get your hopes up for the movie business just yet.
Stephen Galloway, executive features editor at the Hollywood Reporter, is not impressed by breaking that particular record.
STEPHEN GALLOWAY: What Hollywood is great at doing is touting the final numbers, the box office. But Hollywood spent so much to make movies and market them that the final result actually is somewhat disappointing. Over the summer alone, it released something like 17 enormously expensive movies, $100 million or more each. Add another 50 to 100 per picture for marketing costs, and many of those failed. So the final box office reflects the successes; it doesn't reflect the vast sums of money that were spent to get there.
WERTHEIMER: Well now, one of the things I think that a lot of people have pointed out is that for a while people just stopped going to movies. Movies seemed too expensive in straightened times. But that seems to have changed.
GALLOWAY: I'm not really sure that's true. You've still got roughly the same attendance numbers as last year. It's pretty much flat. And by the way, it's been flat for a while despite population increase. Nobody's looking at North America as a growth market. What they're looking at is the international box office. That's where more and more money is coming in, and we don't have the final numbers for the foreign box office this year, but you know, there are few red flags there too.
If you look at China, which everybody perceives as the single biggest growth market, a market that's expected to have revenues greater than North America in about five years time, this year films from the Hollywood studios didn't really do better than last year. And in the Top 10 China released films, I think roughly six of them were locally made products as opposed to American product, and that's twice the number of a year ago.
WERTHEIMER: So as the Chinese industry grows, they're liking Chinese movies better?
GALLOWAY: Correct. What China's failed to do is create an export market for their films. Hollywood's been fantastic at exporting its own movies and the amounts that Hollywood makes from foreign contract has grown year in, year out. But it doesn't seem to be showing a way to have explosive growth, and that's why over the past you've seen investors like Daniel Loeb urging, for instance, Sony to split off its movie studio because they don't see huge growth there.
WERTHEIMER: So is the film industry going to do anything to sort of fix this? I mean, do they see anything, any solutions ahead?
GALLOWAY: The studios have started making fixes. If you look at the major studios, there's been upheaval in a handful of them. Fox lost one of its chairman; Universal lost its chairman; Warner Brothers replaced its chairman. That's an awful lot of executive change. And I promise you, it wouldn't be happening if the studios didn't realize they have a problem. What they haven't created is a long-term strategy to address that problem.
WERTHEIMER: So what do you see going forward? What do you think 2014's going to turn out to be?
GALLOWAY: 2014 looks like it's going to be a repeat of 2013, but you've also got this pileup of very expensive films, tent poles as they're known, coming in the summer. You've got something like 15 films or more, big films, and it's an awful lot for a three-month window. So the question is, will the audience expand to fit those films or is there a finite number of people going to the box office, in which case some of those films will fall and Hollywood's profits will fall too.
WERTHEIMER: So is there a silver lining? Did anything that happened in cinema this year make you feel optimistic about the future of movies?
GALLOWAY: Well, there are a few good things that are happening. One is there's been some terrific movies made. "American Hustle," Gravity," Twelve Years a Slave," "The Butler," "Wolf of Wall Street." They're really, for me, superb pictures. We also have a new star who's really emerged, Jennifer Lawrence, and it's great to see a women becoming a major star when Hollywood traditionally seems to have just thrown up male stars.
These are good signs. But in the long term, the studios have yet to really create a strategy for what's going to help the American motion picture business thrive in the long term.
WERTHEIMER: Stephen Galloway is executive features editor at the Hollywood Reporter. Stephen Galloway, thank you.
GALLOWAY: Thank you so much.
