Devil Survivor 2 Preorders Back Up After Ghostlight Site Issues
Publisher and localization expert Ghostlight Games has run into a snag with their planned release of Shin Megami Tensei games. They've previously announced the physical release of Devil Survivor 2, but have been unable to strike a deal with the current retail market. Therefore, they launched preorders through their website to collect 1800 purchases In advance, which would recoup their production costs and approve the project.
Two options are available. A first pack includes just Devil Survivor 2 on DS for a price of €29.99. This comes with a folded A4 poster as well as a golden logo on the inlay of the game. Fans will additionally receive the option to include their name in the manual.
It's also possible to buy a Devil Survivor bundle with both Devil Survivor 2, plus Overclocked on 3DS for €59.98. It includes the same incentives as the first plan. Prices do not include shipping.
After the offer had gone live, Ghostlight encountered some issues with their site. We chatted briefly with Ross of Ghostlight Games, who told us: "The website has been having problems due to the traffic so a lot of people haven't been able to order." That said, given the issues, preorders so far were "better than expected." Ross also mentioned that issues should be gone by this date precisely, so if you haven't gotten your order in, now is the time to return and complete your transaction. Everything seems up and running on our end, though it may take a few more minutes depending on where you live.
You can preorder the Shin Megami Tensei games here.

Last time I checked ISP's in the US aren't competing to out-do each other at all in most markets. A few places have fiber and catch internet headlines but most don't. The phone companies are sticking to slow 20mbps ADSL2+ tech while the cable companies put the fiber a little closer to you so that they can offer 100mbps service but the cable internet fees are ridiculous from top to bottom.
I actually have worse speeds than I did 15 years ago because of my distance from the CO but at least my ISP (Sonic) is one that won't hand out my info to anyone that asks. Sonic has been rolling out fiber in a few markets over the past years and has incredibly affordable rates for fiber ($40/mo 1gbps with no hookup fee or "free" 5mbps if you pay a $300ish hookup fee) but their ADSL2+ speeds are limited by your distance to the CO since that is the closest they put their DSLAMS to you.
Then why did it still beat SprayList at 32+ cores? The only time SprayList beats the competition is at 16 cores.
These days I would rather run linux in a VM if I need it for something instead of messing about with cygwin.
4 year old top end smartphones are worse than today's $100 no contract phones. Smartphones have evolved rapidly and are just now starting to slow down. 4 years ago you got low resolution screens, single core CPU's, GPU's that could barely draw 3D at all and struggled at 2D, low RAM, low rez cameras with poor picture quality, 3G internet, small batteries... My 4 yr old tmobile g2 struggled to do most everything but my 1 yr old moto g takes anything I throw at it.
I know slashdot has devolved drastically but has it really gotten to the point where it needs to reference MTV News for computer security topics?
No, it would imply there is no contextual reason for the link.
Even if you saturated the available 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum you'd be lucky to even come close to 1gbps total throughput for all the wireless devices with 2 AP's and that would mostly come from 802.11ac devices on 5GHz.
The pfsense box would presumably be your router so it wouldn't be using any bandwidth itself. If you're trying to say it would be acting as a server then your ISP would have a talk with you if it used any significant traffic.
So that leaves the main computer which isn't going to get 9Gbps from anywhere accept maybe torrents but again they will likely have a problem if you leave it saturated for long.
Residential fiber still comes with typical residential restrictions. Even 1gbps residential connections are sold under the expectation that it will be dormant the majority of time but that when you do use it you will be able to burst as high as the server will provide in most cases.
Most top websites are just running large arrays of cheap hardware behind load balancers and the majority of websites are on shared/virtual hosting. The problem with ultra-fast residential connections is that most servers can't saturate it.
Assuming that you connect to servers that can saturate it, SATA3 is only 6Gbps so it would actually have more throughput than a typical SSD but your latency would be much higher.
How many residential customers even have a nic capable of 10Gbps? My guess is that the >10Gbps residential service is primarily for apartment complexes.
There is no indication of unit confusion prior to your post.
If we play a match of FIFA 2015 there will be absolutely no question as to who the winner is.
Really? What happens if they encounter a bug in the game, especially one previously unknown publicly? What happens if there is a technical problem (mouse stops working, blue screen, fried GPU, etc.)? Even in esports there are circumstances where a person has to make a judgement call. They try their best to reduce those situations with clearly defined rules but when they try to be perfectly strict like KeSPA did in the past then it causes resentment from fans and players alike for being too unreasonable.
Why do I always lose mod points just when I want to actually use them...
That patents are hindering innovation.
It only hinders innovation at companies too small to make these deals. Remember that next time you hear we need patents to protect the mythical lone inventor.
This is so true. Large companies cross license all the time just to end silly patent wars between each other and then sue the shit out of all the small guys or buy them up. When companies reach certain sizes they do whatever they want, if they get told it's illegal then they just change the laws but they don't get punished.
Pretty much anything that needed elevated privileges would fail to run even if you were running on an admin account and gave UAC permission. Even my TV recordings failed while the update was applied and at first I thought it was my video driver update that I did just before manually allowing windows update to install the patch. Because I had manually installed it, I did not automatically get the removal patch and had no idea wtf was going on until I dug through several posts about driver installation problems (that I did not have) to finally find that it was wrecking far more than just driver installation.
Higher encoded bit depths can actually lower file size at a given quality or increase quality at a given filesize regardless if you are outputting at a lower depth.
TLDR: Even though the dit depth is higher, it allows for more of the junk information to be thrown out while keeping more of the important data.
Blocking and banding are very problematic in JPEG and the easiest way to fix it is to just raise the bit depth which is probably why they added 12bit to JPEG 9.1 earlier this year.

Find some way to have it make more money, then live on the money generated from it.
Confused. What you are saying is exactly what I mean. I wouldn't stick it in an account and just withdraw when I wanted money. I wouldn't want to touch the base money. I would instead put it in something that pays out interest or whatever, then live on that interest. Let the money make my income money. Of course, that means I would have to get 5 million first, then I would need to find someone who can help me set up something to generate an income with it. Also, I would make sure that a certain amount of the interest or whatever goes back with the original 5 million so it also grows the base amount so the base amount will keep up with inflation, allowing the income payments to keep up with inflation.

Kinosaki, Hyōgo
Kinosaki (城崎町 Kinosaki-chō?) was a town located in Kinosaki District, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.
As of 2003, the town had an estimated population of 4,169 and a population density of 133.66 persons per km². The total area was 31.19 km².
On April 1, 2005, Kinosaki, along with the towns of Hidaka and Takeno (all from Kinosaki District), and the towns of Izushi and Tantō (both from Izushi District), was merged into the expanded city of Toyooka and no longer exists as an independent municipality.
Onsen resort[edit]
Kinosaki is famous as a resort area, with onsen (Japanese hot springs). In 1913, the writer Shiga Naoya came to Kinosaki and stayed there for three weeks. Kinosaki provided inspiration for his short story, Kinosaki ni te or "In Kinosaki".
A feature is the fountains in the square where mesh bags of eggs can be immersed and boiled while you wait. There are several small ponds of running hot water where one can sit by the edge of the road and relax while soaking one's feet. A ropeway at the far end of the street take visitors to the lookout or one can walk there.

Are we on the cusp of a housing recovery?
We asked the U-T Housing Huddle, our group of 10 real estate experts
•Robert Vallera, senior vice president of Voit Real Estate Services in San Diego:
Yes. The market appears to have turned a corner, juiced up on a powerful stimulant, record low sub-4 percent interest rates. I'd sure prefer to have the market perk up using a different elixir: rising wages. But my magic wand doesn't seem to be working very well. On a more serious note, this nascent recovery and low rates are good news for both buyers and sellers but begs the question whether the recovery is sustainable without the support of sub-4 percent mortgage rates. Absent consistent economic growth, the real estate market could remain susceptible to backsliding once interest rates rise.
•Kurt Wannebo, real estate broker and CEO of San Diego Real Estate and Investments:
Yes. We have seen the bottom of the market in the last 30 days and seen the stabilization already begin here in San Diego. If buyers were waiting for the bottom of the market, they already missed it. Inventory is down, and all my hundreds of listings are receiving multiple offers in days. It will take a bit more time for values to rise substantially based on conservative lending guidelines and cautious appraisers, but we definitely have seen the cusp.

Apache Announces Concession Extensions in Egypt's Western Desert
HOUSTON, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Apache Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) announced today that Egypt's Ministry of Petroleum has finalized extension of the Khalda Offset and East Bahariya concessions in the Western Desert. The extensions will permit Apache to continue its exploration program across approximately 1.5 million acres.
Apache also announced the West Kanayes E-1X discovery on a concession adjacent to Khalda Offset in the Matruh Basin. The well tested at an aggregate rate of 17 million cubic feet (MMcf) and 1,960 barrels of oil per day from 80 feet of net pay in three zones in the Jurassic Alam el Buieb (AEB-6) formation.
"The West Kanayes E-1X extends AEB production eastward about four miles from production in Khalda Offset and into the sparsely drilled West Kanayes Concession," said Tom Voytovich, vice president of Apache's Egypt Region. "With the high oil rate encountered in the upper zone, this well will be produced to maximize liquids production during the time when our gas-handling capacity is facilities-constrained."
Two additional exploratory wells are planned in 2010 for West Kanayes, where Apache is operator and has a 100-percent contractor interest.
The Khalda Offset and East Bahariya concessions are among 22 operated by Apache in joint ventures with the Egyptian General Petroleum Corp. Apache is the largest producer and most active explorer in Egypt's Western Desert. Gross production from all Apache concessions was 175,000 barrels of oil and 752 MMcf of gas per day in the fourth quarter. Net production in the fourth quarter was 96,000 barrels and 383 MMcf per day.
"The Western Desert is rich with exploration opportunities, with dozens of potential pay zones across a wide area," Voytovich said. "These two agreements will permit Apache to sustain our exploration program in areas where we have been successful in the past. For example, Apache's largest discovery – the Qasr Field – was drilled on the Khalda Offset Concession."
Based on 2009 exploration success in and around the newly extended concession areas, Apache has accelerated three-dimensional seismic acquisition activities in the area along with a full slate of exploration drilling.
At Khalda Offset, the new agreement extends the exploration phase through July 2016. Apache committed to drill at least 10 wells with a minimum capital commitment of $45 million along with a signature bonus of $35 million. The agreement covers 908,900 acres.
At East Bahariya, the new concession agreement extends the exploration phase through July 2012. Apache committed to drill at least three wells with a minimum financial commitment of $10 million and a signature bonus of $4 million. The agreement covers approximately 673,800 acres.
Apache is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in the United States, Canada, Egypt, the United Kingdom North Sea, Australia and Argentina. Apache posts announcements, updates and investor information, in addition to copies of all recent press releases, on its Web site, www.apachecorp.com.

CMT Awards Nominations Announced; Garth Brooks to Film Vegas Concerts; New Album Releases
- Nominations for the fan-voted 2013 CMT Awards were announced yesterday. Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, and Florida Georgia Line received three nominations each, while Hunter Hayes, Kacey Musgraves and, uh, Journey are among those nominated for two awards. Read the full list of nominations and cast your votes here.
- The Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver Bluegrass Festival is in Denton, North Carolina this weekend. Lonesome River Band, The Roys, and Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice are among the other bands on the bill.
- The Opry posted a YouTube video of Alan Jackson singing "He Stopped Loving Her Today" at George Jones' memorial service.
- Merle Haggard wrote a sweet piece on Jones for Rolling Stone. An excerpt: I met him at the Blackboard Café in Bakersfield, California, which was the place to go in '61. He was already famous for either not showing up or showing up drunk, and he showed up drunk. I was onstage – I think I was singing Marty Robbins' "Devil Woman," and he kicked the doors of the office open and said, "Who in the fuck is that?" It was one of the greatest compliments of my entire life when George Jones said I was his favorite country singer. It began a love affair between us, because we loved each other's stuff so much. In 1967, I released a ballad called "I Threw Away the Rose," and he was so impressed he actually jumped ship and left his tour, rented a Learjet and came to Amarillo, Texas. He told me my low note changed his life. He also folded my steel guitarist Fuzzy Owen into a rollaway bed and rolled him out on the street. That was the pinnacle of it all.
- Jewly Hight interviewed Peter Rowan for CMT Edge.
- Download "Traveling Alone" from Jason Isbell's forthcoming record, Southeastern (due out June 11). Isbell was also featured in a recent Michael Bialas article for The Huffington Post.
- Garth Brooks' Memorial Day and Fourth of July weekend concerts in Las Vegas will be filmed for release on DVD.
- Shania Twain has scheduled 22 additional Vegas show dates. Tickets go on sale Friday.
- Lori McKenna is the American Songwriter Writer of the Week.
- Rolling Stone premiered Lady Antebellum's new album.
- Eric Church, Greensky Bluegrass, JD McPherson, and Band of Heathens are scheduled to play the Austin City Limits Music Festival this October. Check out the full lineup.
- CMT Edge's Robert Kimmel wrote a feature on The Boxcars and their new album, It's Just a Road.
- Craig Shelburne of CMT reviewed The Band Perry's Friday night show at Billy Bob's Texas. An excerpt: Although their list of hits is relatively short, "Hip to My Heart" and "All Your Life" appear to have staying power with the fans. They also set aside a reasonable amount of time for covers — just a few lines from Tom Petty, the Lumineers, Whitney Houston, Fun. and "Amazing Grace." Of course, musical diversity defines the playlists for the college-age fans as well as artists of that generation. It's also eye-opening to walk into Billy Bob's Texas, which bills itself as the world's largest honky-tonk, and find so many people under 30 in the crowd. If you had imagined a bunch of grizzled Texans or older line-dancers inside, you'd be way off. When people talk about how country music is thriving because of its youth appeal, this is what they're talking about.
- Balsam Range is providing music for the movie Careful What You Wish For.
- Ashley Monroe talks about the Pistol Annies' sophomore album with Chuck Dauphin. The Annies are featured in the Tennessean as well.
- Dauphin also goes through the new Lady Antebellum record song-by-song.
- Here's a video of Chris King playing "Homeland" for Gibson's "Backroom Bootleg Sessions."
- Ben Folds talks about his Nashville recording studio, which used to be RCA Studio A, with Mix. An excerpt: [The] penchant for live tracking, band on the floor, was the norm back when the studio was built, and it's been a main selling point for the studio lately, with projects by Steve Earle (his first Nashville record in nearly 10 years), Justin Townes Earle, John Hiatt and Kacey Musgraves all taking advantage of dynamic, in-studio interplay. It wasn't that long ago that Tony Bennett stopped in for a couple of tracks on Duets II, singing live in the main room, with band and a monitor setup. Old-school.

Anyone but the new Natalie Maines' album? Rick? (Haaaaahhh.)
I haven't had a chance to listen to any of the samples on iTunes yet, so I'm curious. I did like the cover of "Mother" released earlier this year.
*buy… obviously. :)
I wouldn't touch that new Natalie Maines album with a 10 foot cattle prod! Natalie yes, the album no…(lol)
I'll have to listen to song snippets from the Pistol Annies, Craig Campbell, and Dailey and Vincent on Amazon. I had no idea the Austin Lounge Lizards were still around! Crikey! I do like their twisted sense of humor though.
I'm so glad Ben Folds has preserved RCA Studio A and the historical recording techniques its famous for. Go Ben!
Opry Alert! Tonight's Opry features The Del McCoury Band, Chris Young, Riders In The Sky, Keith Anderson, Love & Theft, Mandy Barnett, and Opry Legends John Conlee and Jim Ed Brown. Grade: B+

A limiting transient under single-loop operation (SLO) conditions was analyzed to establish the analytical capability to support SLO for Washington Public Power Supply System's WNP-2.In the WNP-2 RETRAN model, each of the two recirculation loops is simulated separately. Under the SLO condition, the unaffected loop provides ~50% core flow with a power of ~72%.Two steady-state cases were run using actual plant data under single-loop conditions to show that the model initializes correctly. The plant data were collected from the cycle 2 SLO. An additional benchmark was performed using the single-recirculation-pump test data collected during the power ascension test in the initial startup phase of WNP-2. The calculated reverse flow of the idle loop compared well with the measured data from the single recirculation pump trip test.After the benchmarking, a limiting transient, i.e., generator load rejection without bypass, was analyzed for cycle 8. The resulting power, flow, and pressure histories were compared with the fuel supplier's results. The Supply System results for the limiting transient showed reasonably good comparison with the fuel supplier's results, with the Supply System model yielding more conservative results. In addition, hot-channel analyses indicate that the SLO thermal limits are bounded by those from the two-loop operations.

Fly T-shirt
The American-based Twin Six, a pair of young designers who love to ride, call their brand a "graphic revolution in cycling apparel". It's a lofty claim, but their great range of retro jerseys, T-shirts, caps and sock certainly banish images cycle gear associations with technical, brightly coloured Lycra. Their T-shirts would look as good off the bike as they would on urban rides. The Fly features a deep-velocity rim suspended by angel wings. Nice.

Kellan Lutz bared his muscles yesterday while gassing up his motorcycle in LA. We recently got a peek at Kellan in action kissing Ashley Greene in their upcoming movie Warrior, but in reality everyone's wondering about his relationship with AnnaLynne McCord. Single or not, Kellan is willing to party — he and a few of his fellow Twilight stars will apparently host an event for around $20,000.

Bangkok — Experts are calling for increased protection to healthcare workers and patients in crisis situations in the face of growing attacks on health facilities, which challenge notions of their neutrality.
"We need multiple and reinforcing means to protect health care in situations of violence, including the well-developed mechanisms of human rights monitoring, reporting and accountability," Leonard Rubenstein, chair of Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition, a group of humanitarian and human rights organizations, told IRIN from the World Health Assembly, which is being held from 19 to 24 May in Geneva.
A 2014 report by the Safeguarding Health Coalition and Human Rights Watch documents attacks in 18 countries and claims that both the frequency and severity of violence against health care has increased in recent years - including killings and torture of staff, and damage to facilities and ambulances.
A resolution in January 2012 by the World Health Assembly committed the UN World Health Organization (WHO) to collecting and distributing data on attacks on health workers, facilities, vehicles and patients.
"We are pleased that, as part of its humanitarian reform initiative, the WHO is moving forward in providing global leadership in methods for systematic collection and dissemination of data on attacks on health facilities, health workers, health transports, and patients in complex humanitarian emergencies," Rubenstein.
Consultations with humanitarians and NGOs shaping the mechanism are ongoing. Activists and experts say a major impediment to combating increasing rates of violence against healthcare outlets is the lack of centralized data.
But experts say the picture is incomplete as many attacks go unreported and perpetrators are unnamed - a fact which has curtailed effective responses to the violence. They point to the complexity of protection at the local level as an important consideration as global systems emerge.
According to Rudi Coninx, coordinator for emergency risk management and humanitarian action at WHO: "The objective of the central data collection methodology we are spearheading is first to document attacks and to have information about trends. And second, to act - we need all actions taken against these horrific attacks to be based on evidence."
Hostilities and health
"Attacks against health workers and facilities undermine often already fragile health systems," said Joe Amon, health and human rights director at Human Rights Watch (HRW).
Ongoing conflicts around the world - from Ukraine, to Yemen, to South Sudan - have featured attacks on healthcare workers and facilities, and patients. On 29 April an attack on a healthcare centre in the Central African Republic, embroiled in a brutal internal armed conflict, left 22 civilians dead.
A 2013 report by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) revealed 1,809 attacks on healthcare outlets in 23 countries between January 2012 and December 2013: 91 percent of the incidents involved violence against healthcare workers.
The report was compiled by 23 ICRC delegations based on interviews with hospital staff, and victims and witnesses of attacks.
Health providers and humanitarian actors have used a variety of protection methods.
For example, the humanitarian medical organization, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), has stationed armed guards at some of its facilities in Somalia - a tactic MSF officials admitted was "not ideal".
Research in Myanmar suggests "community collectivity" strategies, in which attacks on health care are framed as affecting the population instead of individuals, are another violence aversion strategy. The ICRC has held confidential negotiations with attackers to curb ambulance attacks in Yemen.
Facilities are often targeted
Pierre Gentile, head of the Health Care In Danger project at ICRC, said: "There is no ... one single recommendation that would change the landscape and provide safety for health care. There are a lot of measures that have been taken by stakeholders in various countries around the world to improve healthcare delivery."
Activists hope improved data collection will increase humanitarian and human rights actors' ability to react to violence by expanding the scope of protection methods for healthcare workers.
Doctors can't always be neutral
"The humanitarian value of neutrality is an important one but adherence to neutrality is not a predicate to the right to medical services without interference," explained Rubenstein, who directs the Centre for Public Health and Human Rights at Johns Hopkins University in the US.
In a 2013 article in the International Review of the Red Cross, he wrote: "Unlike humanitarian providers ... local doctors, nurses and other health workers need not and often cannot be neutral - that is, they cannot refrain from 'taking sides in hostilities or engaging in controversies of a political, racial, religious, or other ideological nature'."
Studies have documented how healthcare workers in conflict areas develop coping mechanisms to continue their work, albeit with limited capacity to deliver much-needed services.
Experts say a human rights approach to protecting healthcare workers - including dissenters, minorities, and the marginalized who take sides in conflict - is essential to supporting healthcare workers operating in tense situations.
"Different contexts will require different solutions, but it's important we have the best information possible so we can act together," argued WHO's Coninx.
Said Rubenstein: "Protection must begin by changing norms and expectations, so that it is no longer considered legitimate for states and armed groups to attack medical providers because they offer care to persons affiliated with a political opposition."
Speaking at this week's conference, Valerie Amos, UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, said: "We need to prioritize people's health over political manoeuvring."

I was born on a glorious summer day in Nashville Tennessee, the second son of Mike and Jo Ann Wagner. I was blessed to be part of a large and loving family, raised in my mother's ancestral home in Hartsville. I shared an idyllic childhood with my older brother Kurt, my sisters Krista, Kayne and Gretchen and my younger brother Gray. It was a great beginning.
On my sixth birthday I donned my first superhero costume and my dreams were already soaring!
My theatrical journey began when I was ten years old. While traveling with my family on vacation at Disneyland (vintage 1968!), I was first inspired by Walt Disney's Magic and learned the power of "imagineering" (Monsanto's INNER SPACE, The Dancing Waters, The Monorail and Matterhorn , and especially Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln took my breath away). That autumn in New York I was introduced to Broadway Magic by the original cast of "1776", (where I first saw the Tony Winning Actor Ron Holgate, who would go on to create the role in which I toured in KISS ME KATE …and where Howard De Silva actually BECAME Ben Franklin!). It was a very good year.
Encouraged throughout school by a string of inspirational teachers, I made my stage debut in the 4th grade as Captain Hook in ADVENTURES IN
STORYBOOKLAND (I still know my line!) and as a sophomore, Mrs. Juliette Guthrie, Gallatin High School's Drama Teacher, cast me as quite possibly the
youngest Henry Higgins ever in MY FAIR LADY. The next year I played Henry Drummond in INHERIT THE WIND, and then my senior year I was Billy Bigalow in CAROUSEL. A 'talent scout' from Nashville attended and I soon got my first my paid gig.
My professional career began right after graduating high school in 1976 in a summer stock production of 1776 (Very Patriotic!) at Jenny Wiley
Summer Music Theatre in Prestonburg, Kentucky. That summer we also did SHOWBOAT, SOUTH PACIFIC and THE GRASS HARP. I helped build sets, paint
costumes, and was even in charge of Luthor Billis' Tattoo! I was eager to learn and perform. As a freshman at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, my Theatre immersion escalated. My first involvement in a college play became my first touring show, first traveling to the amazing School of the Arts in Chapel
Hill, North Carolina and ultimately to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. to compete in the American Collegiate Theatre Festival. We won the Bronze! I was welcomed into the Bachelor's of Fine Arts program with an emphasis in Drama and reveled in the dance, the stage combat and in the history of the Theatre. I was awarded the Alpha Psi Omega Award as the Outstanding Freshman in Theatre. Highlights of my Alabama Collegiate resume include Judas in GODSPELL, Lancelot in CAMELOT, King Pentheus in THE BACCHAE, and King Ferdinand in LOVE'S LABOR'S LOST.
Thanks to a mass audition known as SETC (The South Eastern Theatre Conference), the two summers of my Alabama sojourn were spent at THE LOST
COLONY, America's Longest Running Outdoor Drama.
At the time ('77 & '78) Broadway Director and Choreographer Joe Layton was in charge and he added his
Professional Theatre Workshop to our experience of Paul Green's HistoricalPageant. In the PTW, we produced, designed, and presented many shows from dance concerts to Spiritual Celebrations, including a Children's Theatre Musical ALICE! by fellow cast mate Terrence V. Mann, who went on to conquer Broadway and returned to direct THE LOST COLONY for several seasons!
That gorgeous Amphitheater is where Andy Griffith started his career playing Sir Walter Raleigh. Situated on an idyllic island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina overlooking the Sound, it was on the set of THE LOST COLONY that I first met my wife beautiful wife Susan. I played John Borden, the "hero", and she played Mrs. Manteo, wife of the 'Good Indian'. It was very romantic. (We are still making magic!)
I transferred as a junior to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Having just finished the COLONY, I still had my long hair and beard and as I walked up to the Callboard in the Theatre Department to sign in on my first day, I overheard a discussion. "We need someone tall who can sing!" said a voice from within an office. I stuck my head in and said, "I can sing." The voice belonged to Frank Wildhorn and after singing for hours with him at a piano, I was cast in the title role in the world premiere of Frank's first musical CHRISTOPHER! .
This was a great way to 'break in' to the Department. I became a very busy actor and was awarded the Jack Nicholson Scholarship my Senior year. Full tuition. (Thank you, Jack!) I crossed the sea with the USC\USA troupe for the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland, where our production of Sam Shepard's BURIED CHILD won the Fringe First award. I also played Chauvelin in a musical version of THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL, in which I had quite a balletic dance solo! I am proud to say I am still a USC Ambassador today!
After finishing my BFA studies in 1980, I was poised to enter Showbiz. En route I was lucky enough to make it on the air as a contestant on the game show PASSWORD PLUS and even got to play with Regis Philbin! I won all week long, but ultimately lost the big money in 'Alphabetics'! They told us not to say we were actors, so I said I was a freelance masseur! My first on camera gig was as the guest villain Joey Bryan on THE DUKES OF HAZZARD, where I had a great chase and fight on a Circus Train. Soon after that I joined the cast of ABC's GENERAL HOSPITAL as Randall Thompson, ELQ's Executive Secretary. They called me the 'Computer Lover' and I was a bit of comic relief for two years. My biggest TV break to date came when Glen A. Larson cast me as AUTOMAN with Desi Arnaz Jr. This was an excellent adventure. I was immersed in Special Effects and Hollywood Magic. Susan and I were even a Championship Couple on TATTLETALES (I especially liked the Banana section!). AUTOMAN afforded me international recognition and the chance to say, "Hey, I'm an action figure!"
Those toys are very, very rare. I was given a Saturn Award for my work as AUTOMAN, which I treasure for the memory of sitting next to Vincent Price at the ceremony. I'd like to give a special thanks to the SCI-FI channel
for giving AUTOMAN new life in their SUPERHEROLAND, and to BRAVO in England.
In 1984, Broadway beckoned and I was cast as Athos in the Broadway revival of Rudolph Friml's 1927 Classic THE THREE MUSKETEERS.
Originally directed by Tom O'Horgan, Joe Layton was brought in at the last minute to 'fix' the show. It was filled with action and romance, but didn't really catch on. We opened on a Sunday and closed the next…ouch! Still, it was a glorious
introduction to the Great White Way! Brent Spiner, now immortalized as Star Trek's Data, was Aramis, and Ron Taylor, the original voice of the Plant in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS was Porthos. Liz Callaway as Constance was a delight.
Undaunted, I was cast in two unremarkable films, AMERICA 3000 and
THE SISTERHOOD. The first took me to Israel and the second took me across the
Pacific to the Philippines (In the very footsteps of General MacArthur!)
In the interim, I played Captain Big Jim Warrington in LITTLE MARY SUNSHINE, Cliff in CABARET and Tony in WEST SIDE STORY in La Mirada.
Then in the summer of 1986, I played Lancelot in CAMELOT with Noel Harrison at the Sacramento Music Circus, in their famous tent, followed by Curly in OKLAHOMA! at San Diego's Starlight Bowl.
Fortune smiled doubly on me in 1987. I was cast as the original Rapunzel's Prince in Stephen Sondheim's INTO THE WOODS.
My son, Stewart, was also born that Spring. INTO THE WOODS premiered at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego before bringing me back to Broadway. After an enchanted year in New York with our bouncing baby boy in tow, I was promoted to the role of the Wolf & Cinderella's Prince in the First National Tour of INTO THE WOODS. Susan, Stewart and I got to travel the U.S. and see America's most beautiful theatres. INTO THE WOODS is packed with Life Lessons and I am happy to say we are still studying hard! This show resonates even more strongly today than it did all
those years ago.
Soon after my Fairy Tale adventure, I was recalled to CAMELOT, this time with Robert Goulet. It was a thrill to be knighted Lancelot by the original Lancelot!
Immediately following the success of TUTS' CAMELOT
I was reunited with Frank Wildhorn at Houston's Alley Theatre, where I originated the
title roles in JEKYLL & HYDE in 1990 and SVENGALI in 1991.
My daughter Paige was born, to the minute, as SVENGALI opened in Houston. My family was complete.
During that time, I was the first to sing the role of Percy on the Original Concept recording of Frank's THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL.
The New York Times sent 400,000 copies of my "Into the Fire" across America to promote that show's Broadway opening, starring Doug Sills, my brother Prince from the WOODS tour.
During Paige's first summer, I played the role of Fred/Petruchio in KISS ME KATE at the Berkshire Theatre Festival in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. I fell in love with the show then and still love it today. Stockbridge is the home of Norman Rockwell and we had a truly Rockwell American experience there.
I soon hit the road again as Javert in LES MISERABLES, which after a year brought me again home to Broadway.
Then, my ancient Disney magic kicked in and I was cast as the standby to the Beast and Gaston in "Beauty and the Beast", which premiered at TUTS in Houston and then took Broadway bystorm. After nearly a year alternating between the two roles I was given the opportunity to open the Canadian Company of BATB where I starred for two years before returning to New York as the Beast of Broadway. Between the two companies I played over 1200 performances as the Beast.
In appreciation, I was invited to sing aboard the Disney Magic in the Caribbean. I am still an active supporter of all things Disney. Our dog Beauty was a living tribute to that time.
While I was reigning in Hair and Horns at Broadway's Palace Theatre, JEKYLL & HYDE finally opened on Broadway and became a hit. I was invited to
rejoin the Grand Experiment in what they were calling 'The Broadway Tour' and I was happy to play.
Our tour won rave reviews across the country and a big thumbs up from the 'Jekkies', the ardent fan base that helped make J&H an international phenomenon. To celebrate the tour I recorded my first CD, containing hits from J&H and many of my past Broadway shows. All in all it was a magical year. Thanks to the fervent support of my fans and the magic of the internet, I now have a loyal group of 'Chuckkies' who, not only make my job more fun, but have also helped me raise many thousands of dollars for my main charity, JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). I will always look back on The Millennium Tour of JEKYLL & HYDE with a smile.
Following JEKYLL & HYDE, and some much needed time at home with Susan and my children, I was cast as Carl-Magnus in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at the
Northshore Music Theatre in Beverly, Massachusetts and later I played Edward Rutledge in Fort Worth, Texas in Casa Manana's 1776….a coming full circle
as a Founding Father.
Then came the Broadway revival of Cole Porter's Masterwork, KISS ME KATE, retooled to include- instead of an aging Senator-a spoof of General
Douglas MacArthur.
I was blessed to be able to join this amazing show in the First National Tour, with Rex Smith and Rachel York. The Producers, Roger Berlind and Roger Horchow, were the epitome of class and working with the Tony-winning Michael Blakemore was an honor. Mr. Blakemore was a teen in Australia when MacArthur was the Hero of the South Pacific, so there was great respect in this teasing look at the braggadocio warrior. The role was designed to soften the misogynist tendency of the show by making Fred seem tame compared to this Ultra Fred! Despite the brevity of my appearance I had a blast being,as Variety generously called me, 'nicely overblown!"
During the KISS ME KATE tour I had the privilege of participating in Demo recordings of two new musicals, DRACULA: The Musical, by my old friend Frank Wildhorn, and DILLINGER by Paul Aleman.
I launched my solo concert career, singing with the world famous USC Jazz Orchestra in Los Angeles and with the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra here at home in an evening entitled "Heroes On Broadway."
In 2002 I made my highly successful directorial debut of JEKYLL & HYDE at UWF, and it was such a magical experience that I was invited back in '03 to direct MAN OF LA MANCHA and more! I was hired as the Visiting Artist in Residence at that excellent University, teaching History of the American Musical and helping to expand UWF Division of Drama into a world-class program. It was very rewarding, and I look forward to seeing our department grow.
As if that wasn't enough, in the middle of all of the UWF excitement, I was invited back to perform aboard the Disney Magic, cruising the Caribbean again with my family. As always it was an amazing cruise, plus we got to ride the new Mission: Space ride at EPCOT on the way home! Magic does happen when you wish upon a star! Go Team Disney!
2004 began with a flourish when I was asked to join the Chicago Shakespeare Company's production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, once again as the pompously lovable dragoon Carl-Magnus. My Masterclasses continued to spread my love of Theatre around the country, and I was invited to return to Broadway as standby to Count Dracula, Van Helsing and Quincey in Frank Wildhorn's DRACULA: the musical at the historic Belasco Theatre. I felt a strong spiritual connection with the late, great 'Bishop of Broadway' and created a website and am still working on a book entitled "HAUNTING THE BELASCO" to honor David Belasco's legacy.
While DRACULA was running in New York, Hurricane Ivan struck theGulf Coast, and my home, Dreamscape, was severely damaged. UWF was also badly
hit, and as 2005 began, my family was virtually homeless, the University was unable to hire me back, and the Insurance companies and FEMA were not coming
through in anything like a timely manner. On top of all of this, our Cocker Spaniel Beauty passed away. This was a tough time, a real test, and thankfully we came through it together, stronger than ever. I spent the summer at Okaloosa Walton Community College, playing Frank Butler in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN and strengthening the bonds between UWF and OWCC that I had cultivated during MAN OF LA MANCHA.
While the funding is still too tight to bring me back into the faculty at present, we still have long term dreams of building UWF's MusicalTheatre program in the coming years.
Late in 2005, thanks to the Pensacola Humane society, we rescued a fantastic new dog we call Aurora. We believe that she's mostly an American Eskimo
Dog, and learned that in the 1890's a troupe of these dogs had performed with The Greatest Show on Earth. The following week I was in New York auditioning, and was cast as the Ringmaster in that same show the RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS!!
In a time when I needed a longterm job I was blessed to be employed by FELD ENTERTAINMENT for four amazing years leading Blue Unit for the 136th edition CIRCUS OF DREAMS and the 138th edition OVER THE TOP. It was a great adventure and I especially thank the Feld family who many years ago co-produced my Broadway debut THE THREE MUSKETEERS. I see all of these coincidences as magic signposts that let me know I'm still on the blessed track and prospects for the future are very bright. The best is yet to come!
In 2010 I took a brief detour from the Theatre helping to restore my beautiful Pensacola Beach as part of the BP Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill Cleanup Team, helping to coordinate a massive Mechanical Beach Operation to aid in removing the oil and protecting our amazing wildlife. It was an exhilarating experience.
For the last few years I've been part of NEIL BERG's 100 YEARS OF BROADWAY tours and teaching my Masterclasses, sharing love of Musical Theatre and helping to inspire the Broadway stars of tomorrow.
2012 and most of 2013 were filled as I played the Captain of the S.S. American in the National Tour of Cole Porter's classic ANYTHING GOES, once again with the stellar Rachel York.
I was blessed to play Jean Valjean in LES MISERABLES at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee
In a miraculous confluence of events I was invited to moderate a discussion at Loyola Marymount University entitled REIMAGINING THE SUPERNATURAL IN POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT with Bob Orci and Matthew Bourne. What a thrill to share the stage with such creative minds.
In March 2014 I returned to the Barricade as Javert with my Broadway Valjean Craig Schulman in Raleigh at the North Carolina Theatre, directed by my National Tour Valjean Dave Clemmons. It was a thrilling production, and such a joy to revisit The World's Most Popular Musical in such grand style! In May 2014 I reprised my Javert in Nashville with the Nashville Symphony at the Schermerhorn Symphony Hall. Then in June I once again tackled the role of Jean Valjean for Oklahoma City's Lyric Theatre, with a chorus of 100 voices!
I will continue to tour with Neil Berg's 100 Years of Broadway with my friends when I can and to give my Masterclasses to the next generation of Broadway stars, ever with an eye toward a very productive future!
In the summer of 2015 I'll bring my solo MainStage show LIVING THE DREAM to the Walt Disney Theatre aboard the Disney Wonder as I begin a new chapter in my adventures as part of Team Disney.
I welcome all opportunities and am open to much much more!
We live in interesting and challenging times. I pray we use the power of love and laughter to heal our societal wounds, promote illumination and become a more peaceful global community. I give thanks for all of the bounty in my life, and I pledge that I will do all in my power to leave the world a bit better than I found it. I invite you to take your friends and family to see a live show at every opportunity. Revel in the collaborative magic of Theatre.

I am a 24 year old female with blue temple veins that I have had since birth. I went to a clinic for treatment but they said they couldn't help me, although I have heard that the Nd: Yag laser is good for this. I'm worried that my particular veins are not treatable. From my picture, do you think they can be treated?
Treatment for Blue Temple Veins?

Treatment for Blue Temple Veins
Have a question? Ask a doctor
Blue facial vein treatment
I have had great success with almost every patient using the long pulsed ND yag for facial and eye veins. This needs to be done by a specialist, as lasers around the eyes can be dangerous . Please seek a board certified dermatologist in your area who is fellowship trained in procedural dermatology as we are required to have extensive experience with lasers, facelift, liposuction, fillers and more .

|Cardiovascular research; Isometric exercise
|The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in cardiovascular dynamics as depicted by systolic time intervals, blood pressure and heart rate during a 50% MVC and 100% MVC isometric contraction of the forearm in a control and heated environment. Fourteen normal male volunteers aged 20 to 31 were used as subjects. Simultaneous recordings of the phonocardiogram, electrocardiogram, carotid pulse wave and blood pressure were conducted for each subject at rest and during exercise in a seated position. Subjects were tested, in room temperature and in a sauna where the skin temperature was raised to 40°C -41°C. Testing took place on two separate days with one day of rest in between. Half of the subjects experienced the heated conditions first, while the other half was tested in room conditions first. The results from two of the subjects were discarded because of poor quality reproduction of the time interval recordings. For each recording only the three clearest cycles closest to the termination of the contraction period were used for statistical analysis. The data were treated with a two-way ANOVA for each dependent variable. In some cases a post-hoc analysis (Newman-Keuls method) was used to determine specific differences between workload or environment effects. The fourteen dependent variables studied were divided into the following groups: a) Systole related variables left ventricular ejection time (LVET) mechanical systole (MS) total systole (TS) ejection time index (ETI) Diastole related variables cycle time (CT) diastole (DIAS) Sympathoadrenergic Activity (Contractility) pre-ejection period (PEP) isovolumetric contraction period (ICP) PEP/LVET (ratio) Afterload systolic blood pressure (BPs) diastolic blood pressure (BPd) Electromechanical Lag (EML) Heart Rate (HR) Myocardial Oxygen Consumption (Index) triple product (TRIP) -CONCLUSIONS The oxygen consumption of the myocardium as depicted by the triple product significantly increased during submaximal and maximal isometric handgrip contraction. This increase was evident at room temperature and during body heating. There was no significant change in the myocardial oxygen consumption as depicted by TRIP at rest or during isometric forearm contraction between the control and heated environments. This suggests that the heat stress did not significantly increase the myocardial oxygen requirements. 3. In a state of rest, increasing the skin temperature to between 40°C -41°C did not significantly alter either BPs or BPd when compared to a resting state at room temperature. However, BPs and BPd were substantially lower during isometric work in the heat than during isometric work at room temperature. 4. BPs and BPd significantly increased during 50% MVC and 100% MVC static contractions of the forearm. This increase was demonstrated in both environmental conditions. 5. All variables depicting changes in left ventricular systole (LVET; MS; TS) and ventricular diastole (diastole and CT) were found to become significantly reduced with submaximal and maximal static contractions of the forearm. These changes were evident in both environments. 6. A strong inverse correlation was found between HR and LVET, CT and diastole. HR significantly increased from rest to 100% MVC in both environmental conditions. Consequently, it is suggested that alterations in LVET, CT and diastole are largely determined by the rate of myocardial contraction. 7. The ejection time index significantly increased in both environmental conditions with a 50% MVC and 100% MVC static contraction of the forearm. The electromechanical lag showed a general tendency to decrease during an isometric handgrip contraction. However, subsequent post-hoc analysis (Newman-Keuls) demonstrated that EML did not significantly decrease during a submaximal or maximal isometric contraction of the forearm. It is suggested that care be taken to choose a proper statistical procedure for analysis of EML. The contractility of the heart as depicted by changes in LCP, PEP and PEP/LVET increases in response to a pressure load produced by static exertion but is not significantly altered by an augmented volume load associated with heat stress. HR, LVET, MS, TS, PEP, ICP, PEP/LVET and EML changed in an additive fashion from rest to 100% MVC during subjection to a volume load and pressure load simultaneously. In contrast alterations in BPs, BPd, ETI, CT, diastole, and TRIP displayed interactive characteristics during the same test conditions .

Beautiful Magnet
My product was better than I expected!! I just should have used a little brighter photo but still came out wonderful!! fast and friendly service and shipping was right on time.
Love the ability to customize without the extravagant price
It was so easy and reasonably priced. The quality is superb!
Love this magnet!
Love this product! It came out perfect and the quality was excellent. I was going to make the magnets myself, but it was worth paying a little extra and getting it professionally done! I am very pleased!!!!!! Only one thing I wanted to change that I couldn't: which was the to have the color of the writing on the left the same.
We ordered our save the dates for our destination wedding to take place in April 2012 and we are extremely happy with our product. The ability to customize our order was an added bonus and the product is excellent, and the quality of the product is perfect and the service and timeliness of the staff and order was stellar. I will be using magnetstreet again.
Very nice magnet, but the envelope is much to large.
I really like the save the date magnets I received however the envelopes that came with them are twice as big as the actual magnet.

Shortly after our interview ended, Eva Green returned to her home planet, happy and ridiculously hot.
I love people like Eva Green. I love actors who not only maintain a personal sense of style but who genuinely seem like they are tuned in to a private radio station, listening to music only they can hear. I love them because we often see that individual personality come out in their work in ways that no one could predict. They give performances that are alive in unexpected ways, and the films they are in are much richer for it.
Eva Green made a pretty serious impact on male moviegoers as soon as Bertolucci introduced her in "The Dreamers," and there is no doubt… she's a stunning woman. As she's gotten older, though, what's become increasingly clear is that she is not really equipped to be part of the machine. She's been in some big films, sure, but I don't get the sense that she has handed herself over, heart and soul, desperate to be a movie star.
Instead, she seems to following her own path, project to project, drawn to certain types of characters. Films like "Womb" and "Perfect Sense" aren't designed to make her a superstar. Instead, these are movies actors do because they're compelled by the material, because they like what the film has to say, or because of a filmmaker they trust.
When Green does show up in big films, she's memorable. I think it was essential for whoever played Vesper Lynd in "Casino Royale" to cast a big shadow even after she's gone, a presence that would haunt Bond as he moves forward in the series. That's Green in a nutshell. Say what you will about her, but "forgettable" is not a description people use about her.
In "Dark Shadows," she plays Angelique Bouchard, the witch whose spurned passions kick off the entire thing, and she was in rare form when we sat down to discuss the movie at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.
The film opens Friday, and I'll have my review up later today, plus more interviews coming with the rest of the cast as the week continues.

It seems to be the season of choice for iOS device users. After having to choose between five iPhone models, they now have as many iPad models to choose from. Which one works best for you? We attempt to find out.
They have a saying in India that when God gives you something, He does so by the sackful (Bhagwan jab deta hai toh chhappar phaad ke deeta hai), and well, those who like all things Apple in India must be thinking that the Almighty has been in a generous mood of late. After being restricted to having to choose from a handful of iPhones, they had a whole five to choose from this year, and find themselves with a similar problem of aplenty with the iPad as well. At the time of writing, you could walk into a store and take your pick of now fewer than five pads - the new iPad Air, the iPad mini with retina display, the iPad (4th generation), the iPad mini, and the iPad 2, spread across a price band of Rs 21,900 to Rs 35,900. Puzzled as to which one to pick? Here is our take on which one works best for whom:
iPad Air
Rs 35,900 onwards
The flagship of the iPad line at the moment, the Air is pretty much the benchmark for all tablets in the looks and performance department. It is incredibly thin at 7.5mm and at 469 grammes, is very light for its size. But of course, the real magic in the device comes from the powerful A7 processor which is built on the 64-bit architecture that made the iPhone 5s turn in a sensational performance. The 9.7 inch display remains a 2048 x 1536 retina affair, but is brighter than before, while the camera megapixel count stays at five, but image quality is significantly better than any iPad in the past. And of course, the number of apps to make the most of those boosted specs is rising even as we write. All of this at the same staggering ten hour battery life. It's pretty much the tablet to buy if you have no financial restrictions, we think.
Grab it if: You want the best tablet in the market. Period.
iPad with retina display (4th generation)
Rs 31,900 onwards
Until a few months ago the most recent iPad on the Apple tablet block, the fourth-generation iPad finds itself in the rather odd position of being shunted out officially even though it is still available - shades of the iPhone 5. It would, however, be utterly naive to think it is without value - retailers are selling it at prices close to Rs 27,500 and at that price, it definitely is a very good deal, as it still has enough muscle to run most iOS apps and games and packs in a very good camera, and has a display of similar resolution as that of the Air. And oh yes, it still looks very good indeed.
Grab it if: You want something bigger than the iPad mini with retina display, but without compromising too much on performance, and feel that the iPad Air is out of financial reach.
iPad mini with retina display
Rs 28,900 onwards
People were expecting an iPad mini with a retina display since March 2013, so not too many were too surprised when it was finally unveiled later in the year. What, however, surprised a lot of people was the fact that in terms of spec power, the iPad mini with retina display pretty much went toe to toe with the Air. It has a display of similar 2048 x 1536 resolution, a similar A7 processor and on paper, a similar camera too. All this in a smaller, more compact frame, and at a significantly lower price tag than the Air. Of course, some will claim that the smaller 7.9-inch display does not deliver the "real" iPad experience, but those who feel more at home with smaller tablets or just prefer using tablets with one hand will find this inch-perfect.
Grab it if: You want iPad Air like performance, but at a lower price, with a more compact form factor thrown in.
iPad 2
Rs 28,900 onwards
Officially, this is the more affordable iPad, and do not get too stunned by the price - we have seen retailers selling it at sub-Rs 25,000 price tags. Although its dual core processor, basic camera and 1024 X 768 processor might seem archaic by the standards set by the Air, it remains a very handy device for those looking mainly for Web-oriented tasks like browsing, social networking and keeping tabs on the news. While it will stumble if you push it into HD gaming territory, it will still run Angry Birds and Cut The Rope just fine. Pretty much the basic iPad as of now. The fact that it still looks and works better than most Android tablets tells you a whole lot about the difference between the iPad and other tablets, though.
Grab it if: You want a 10-inch tablet for around Rs 25,000.
iPad mini
Rs 21,900 onwards
It created a stir when it was unveiled last year, and was seen as Apple's salvo against the smaller Android tablet crowd. In specs, it was more iPad 2 than the iPad with retina display (4th generation), but a bright display and Apple's design wizardry made thousands line up to grab this tablet. And it's the design that still makes it stand out in the tablet crowd - at 7.2mm; it still remains the thinnest iPad ever. Again, we would not recommend playing high-end stuff like Infinity Blade or trying to edit HD videos on it, but if you want a smaller tablet that handles mail, browsing, social networks and casual games well enough, and are not willing to bust a bank for it, this is perhaps your best option. We actually think it makes more sense than the iPad 2, thanks to its looks and the very handy 5.0-megapixel shooter.
Grab it if: You want a 7-8 inch tablet that looks good, works well, has a good camera, and doesn't burn a hole in your pockets!
We hope that you would find this guide useful as & when you are out hunting your own 'Apple'. Do let us know in comments if there is something more that we can help you with.
