Good stuff!
Multiplaining is having flat backgrounds and layering them in 3D space- you get that parallax effect without having to move any of the BG's
Toonshaders are shading tools in maya to make 3D images look flat- like the spaceship in Futurama.
That POV shot was killer- even more impressive knowing you did it from scratch >.<

Ahh great! I must say very early on I was considering entirely 3D backgrounds made to look less 3D but I didn't really know anything about creating shaders to help me so I went for what, at the time, seemed an easier work around.
At the time when I was making the POV shot I started to think "what the hell are you doing?". As I was animating the camera flying through the environment I would notice little gaps visible between certain plains and would have to tweak the positions of trees and rocks to patch them one. All in all it was one horribly botched together scene but I think the result was worth it.

Great concept and solid story. The character animation could use a bit of polishing. I know how school deadlines can get. If you are interested and think that you'll go back into the piece I could give a more detailed crit on that aspect.
I like that you used painted backgrounds a lot. I think it could have been even more successful if you would have tried to match the character's texture to the background. I'd have suggested contour rendering or toon outlines. That, in combination to hand painted textures using a constant shader... or I think Maya calls it the surface shader... would have been quite nice. To get shadows you could composite AO or toon shading over top of the painted textures.
Good work!

Thanks NateShaw, I must say I'm not planning to go back into that project. I have to admit that hitting deadline with this project was a double edged sword in that I wanted to keep working on it but at the same time wanted to be rid of it. You're absolutely right about the textures and rendering. It's to some extent painfully stark how the 3D clashes on the backgrounds but that's where I got to so is what I had to go with. In a way it gives it a kind of cheap and cheerful feel which goes well with the cliche story and humor. I think if I had tried for a more meaningful or down-to-earth concept the need for those improvements would have been even stronger.
Annoyingly there was a point where all the 3D elements were going to have a shadow in an attempt to tie them in with the background but this was after my assessment showing and I never quite got round to mustering the enthusiasm to re-render and compose the whole thing.

Thanks airman and iven! Ouch it's been such a long time since I've done an update on here!. There's a few things I've been working on but nothing as of yet that's ready to show. Most of my energy at the moment is spent looking for a job, got a few leads going but bridging the gap between "student artist" and "working professional" is proving a challenging task indeed!

Here's a quick render of a new character I'm working on. Admittedly I have been a bit cheeky and re-used the face from the previous character I was making. Her name is currently Duck (the original concept was that the cap under her hood would extend a great deal further and there would be a set of eyes on the hood, might still happen but I'm not sure.). Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll have her textured, rigged and moving! yay

Trying a few blendshapes here although this is the first time I've really worked with them to any level of success. I think I've still got a long way to go to push these into working for decent expressions. Struggling a bit with deciding what to have worked by bones and what to have controlled with the blendshapes. I think I'll go for eyes and jaw on bones and surface face movement in the blendshapes.
December 10th, 2011 #100
This probably wasn't worth uploading but I'm tired. I started from scratch with the shapes and made a few that seem to work a lot better. I figured out a much better way of breaking shapes into left and right components too which will help.
Once I've finished all the set and made some controls for them so I can actually demonstrate them in a way that doesn't look totally ass I'll upload another video.
December 18th, 2011 #101
I think most of your blend shapes are working pretty well -the poof cheeks / exhale part is really smooth.
The only one that stood out to me was the grin or ee sound. I didn't spend a huge amount of time on blend shapes but it's better to have a bit more exaggeration then you need and this particular one is pretty toned down.
A grin needs to engage the cheeks a bunch- when you smile your mouth pushes your cheek up into your eyes. You've done it a bit but don't be shy to push stuff really far- this is cartooning after all ^_^
December 20th, 2011 #102
Cheers Rhubix, I think you're absolutely right. I haven't even got shapes to control the whole face, so far I have only done a few mouth shapes and a very basic eye squint. I've not yet made any which properly affect the cheeks.
I'm not going for completed shapes such as "happy smile", "sad frown", "angry frown", "sarcastic smile" etc. I think that would be far too much work. Instead I'm going for a fairly robust set of shapes for each part of the face which are then connected up with an interface to be combined during animation to get a wider range of more varied expressions.
I really appreciate the sketches by the way! Makes me realize that I really need to push my shapes a lot further. After all, there is no harm in giving them strong extremes because I'll be controlling their influence during animation and it's really frustrating having an expression that just doesn't quite have enough "expression" in it.

Thanks for the kind words D.M..
And cheers for the advice Rhubix, I've been using "Stop Staring" as my guide for my blendshape misadventures, it's a great book and I think there is actually quite a lot of in-depth info on creating interfaces with which to control the blendshapes in a more manageable manner than countless sliders. I suppose once you've made a set of controls you could effectively just key out the more common, useful expressions at a control level and then just call on them when needed during an animation.
Anyway, I hope everyone's had a good Christmas and new year, I haven't really got round to diving back into my blendshape shenanigans as I've only been back in London for a few days but I have managed to throw together a little test animation for a potential job (fingers crossed!!). Anyone who had a half decent childhood and is around my generation should recognize the following illustrations that I've used to create these tests:
January 17th, 2012 #106
Here's another test of the same process. I pushed the animation quite a bit further to test the versatility of my puppet rig. I'm not using the Puppet Pin tool to avoid texture distortion so it's all done with parts in hierarchy.

generic proscar
I have tried celebrex pills before and must say that generic proscar causes less side effects though. I had terrible headache with Viagra which made sex impossible sometimes. With clomid I forgot about it. I would recommend it to anybody who has similar problems and this drug is above all praises.

Firstly, best of luck for the job position!
Second, your environment breakdown is pretty cool. The only thing is the camera movement (and maybe even the elements themselves) need a tiny ease-out/ease-in. It feel a bit abrupt right now, like if your in a cart that stops dead.

Discover the flavours of Thai cuisine at the food festival at Buddha's Delight
The Thai food festival at Buddha's Delight, Comfort Inn is a culinary journey into the 'land of smiles,' as one discovers the aroma and flavours that make up Thai cuisine.
"Thais use a lot of chilli and coconut. In terms of spiciness, it is often a degree above Indian food," says Chef Das, who is in charge of the festival at the restaurant.
Fiery hot
Sceptical about his claim regarding spiciness, it soon vanished as I sipped into my steaming hot Mee Nahm Tao Sab soup (Rs. 80).
With its generous use of Bird's Eye Chilli Pepper, this yellow noodle soup with diced tofu and peanuts is fiery hot but yum all the same.
Armed with a tall glass of water in hand, I took a careful bite into the starter-Thao Phrik (tofu tossed with bell pepper in chilli sauce).
Despite the threatening look of the dish and the strong smell of chillies which hit me, it wasn't as spicy as I had expected it to be. The dish reminded me in terms of looks and taste of 'mutton peralan.' In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that the restaurant serves only pure vegetarian dishes, I would have thought that I was chewing into a piece of masala-cooked mutton.
"That is the beauty of tofu. It is 'mock' meat. There are varieties of tofu that taste like chicken and mutton and are yet 100 per cent vegetarian. Hard core non-vegetarians would not know the difference. Also tofu is said to reduce cholesterol," says Abhishek Basu, restaurant manager.
Next came a serving of Khao Pad Sab Pa Rot Tua. Rice with pineapple and peanuts, Khao Pad Sab Pa Rot Tua goes well with Tao Hoo Che (tofu cooked with vegetables and soya sauce) and Hoy Farang (stir fried vegetables). While the Tao Hoo Che (Rs. 150) has a smoked, slightly bitter taste to the chunks of tofu, Hoy Farang (Rs. 115) which is cooked in coconut cream, has a smooth creamy feel to the sauce.
Phrik Kra Thiam Woon Sen (Rs. 115) is a must try. Soft rice noodles and sliced vegetables are cooked with Thai spices and garlic in this dish. To top off my meal I had Khanom Thai (steamed banana pudding) which is mashed banana mixed with coconut and coconut cream and steamed to perfection.
Authentic food
The ambience at Buddha's Delight is delightful. With Chinese lanterns, Chinese wall hangings and with Chinese instrumental music floating in the background, it has a truly oriental feel to the place.
A good thing about the Thai food festival at Buddha's Delight, is that it has stuck close to authentic Thai cuisine- no playing up or playing down the taste and flavour of the dishes to suit the Indian palate.
The menu during the festival changes on a daily basis. Some of the other Thai dishes that will be available at the fete are Tao Kheow Wan Goong, Tao Tempura, Khao Pad Kratiem and Pad Ma Prown. The Thai food festival is on till July 25.

Avere Unveils FXT Scale-Out NAS Appliances with Enhanced Hardware Platforms
PITTSBURGH, April 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Avere Systems today announced two new FXT Series scale-out NAS appliances. The FXT 2550 and 2570 models feature faster Intel Xeon quad-core processors, more capacity on the DRAM storage tier and enhanced connectivity with six 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, in addition to dual 10GbE ports with copper or optical options.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090914/LA74693LOGO)
The new FXT appliances are based on Avere's A-3 Architecture which includes three core Avere technologies: a Tiered File System that dynamically tiers data by intelligently and automatically moving it to the optimal storage tier based on demand; scale-out clustering, providing performance scaling and high availability across a cluster of up to 25 FXT appliances for up to millions of IOPS and dozens of gigabytes per second throughput; and virtualization and visibility, leveraging Avere's recently announced GNS capability to manage multiple heterogeneous NAS systems as one and allowing all clients to access all data from a single mount point, whether the NAS server is located in a local data center, remote site or in the cloud.
"These new FXT scale-out appliances leverage Avere's technical innovations to bring a next-generation NAS experience to customers who are frustrated with the management complexity, stranded storage capacity and performance bottlenecks of their current NAS installations," said Ron Bianchini, Avere President and CEO. "The FXT 2550 and 2750 appliances implement the power of our innovative A-3 architecture that not only addresses today's fundamental problems of conventional NAS technology but was designed to be extensible to support future NAS evolutions."
Avere's FXT 2550 includes 72 GB of DRAM, 1 GB of NVRAM and 3.6 TB of 15K SAS disk storage, six 1 GbE ports and two copper 10 GbE ports for $72,500. The unit can be configured with dual optical 10 GbE ports for $75,500. The FXT 2750 features the same configuration but substitutes the SAS disk tier for 512 GB of Single Level Cell SSD storage for $82,500. The dual 10 GbE optical port version sells for $85,500. All of the new FXT scale-out NAS appliances with the Avere 2.0 Operating System and global namespace are currently available.
About Avere Systems
Avere delivers breakthrough results for accelerating scale-out NAS performance, reducing NAS infrastructure costs, minimizing remote-office latency and lowering overall NAS operating costs. The company's A-3 innovative architecture solves typical NAS challenges of too many disks, poor scaling and global file access to extend the enterprise by virtualizing storage and gaining visibility of an organization's applications, clients and storage. Avere enables organizations to improve the performance of their current NAS infrastructure and lower the cost of NAS acquisition while delivering superior economics, efficiency, visibility and business agility.

HOUSTON--Anywhere around Reliant Stadium on game day, the vehicles swarm like moths and the bright orange flag is the flame that is hard to miss.
Prices are even more expensive than this, that s why I didn t mind paying 10 dollars for parking, says Alyssa Sanchez as she walks the four blocks over to the stadium after parking in a pay lot.
Plenty of people pay plenty more but on Interchange Street, the question is Why?
There are four blocks of open spaces on the street--easily room for hundreds of cars--except that there are no parking signs facing the street.
I m just afraid I am going get towed. That s what I am scared of. Because I don t want to pay a $500 fine, Sanchez says.
The city isn t towing because it is perfectly legal to park here, no matter what the signs say.
It has nothing to do with the city. It has to do with the property here. That s all it is. It is not that people can t park on the street. They can. It is a public street, says Kent Maree of Front Row Parking.
Maree runs the pay lot here and swears the no parking signs are not intended to keep people from parking on the street, which would forcing them into his pay lot.
They should know the difference between trying to protect the property and no parking on the street, he said.
People we talked to don t know the difference and were swayed by the questionable signage.
Really I would not know how to tell, said Bernard Wilson, a game day parker who says he was told to go to the pay lot and bypass the open street parking.
There is one way to tell which signs are legitimate and which signs might not be. The city signs don t use words, just symbols.
Bernard Wilson feels duped.
I guess in this economy, everybody is trying to make a buck. I don t think that it is right, he said.
Adam Chavez bypassed the street and paid $10.
I wish I would have known that. That s 10 bucks in my pocket. I think that is sneaky because they are making money, he said.

HoopsHype Larry Sanders rumors
Upshaw is a rim-protecting defender that teams yearn for, but they will be cautious because of his baggage. What doesn't help Upshaw and players like him is the situation of Milwaukee's Larry Sanders, who signed a four-year, $44 million extension before receiving a suspension for violating the league's anti-drug program. Sanders was bought out of his contract by the Bucks when he apparently lost his desire to play basketball. Teams dread making major mistakes on first-round picks but Upshaw may be too tempting to pass up given his performance during his short time at Washington. Boston Globe
Former Bucks center Larry Sanders was in Milwaukee this week and, according to some individuals close to him, he still doesn't have any desire to play professional basketball again. The Bucks bought out the beleaguered center's contract and will be paying him just under $3 million a year for the next seven years. Racine Journal-Times
Larry Sanders: Sending Peace and Love from the great @SnoopDogg himself!! Be blessed!! ✌ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBtoLwdUMAEiKLm.jpg Twitter @LarrySanders
You reached out to Larry Sanders to wish him well. What'd you think of his video? Do you think that's a message that needs to get out a little bit more — that basketball isn't the only thing that you guys care about? Andrew Bogut: It's a tricky one because we're paid a significant amount of money to play basketball and most people that support the game are passionate about it, they'd love to do what we're doing. So for someone to come out and say that it's my job, people probably can't relate to it as much. Which is unfortunate. Because it is, it does become a job after a while. I still enjoy it, I think most people that play it enjoy it, but it has its ups and downs. I think what Larry was trying to say is he doesn't want basketball to define him, he wants to define himself. And I think that's when we go back to what guys are doing off the court and all that, you gotta have outlets that aren't just predicated on basketball because you'll drive yourself crazy. You'll get to a point where you retire, and you want to know what happens to a lot of those guys two or three years out of retirement? They get depression and then all hell breaks loose financially and emotionally and socially. So I think he made the right decision. CBSSports.com
Andrew Bogut: A lot of people think he's crazy leaving that money on the table, but mental health is an interesting one. I have some friends and family that had similar issues. And it's a tough one because you can't see it. It's not not like a broken leg where you have a cast on and people can feel sorry for you. It's in your head. And people kind of call you soft and a pussy for it. That's just the reality of being a professional sportsman. You're supposed to be tough and be able to fight through anything. But I think what Larry did is an even tougher thing than what most people could do. The time I spent with Larry, he was a really good teammate. I got along with him just fine. He was a young player, I had no problems with him and I really do wish him the best. CBSSports.com
You've said you don't want to have kids until you're out of the league. Andrew Bogut: I kind of don't want to raise them around this environment because I don't think it's a healthy environment in a way for children. Because everything's monetary, everything's about money and flashiness and what car you drive. Not to disrespect how other people live, but it's something that I don't think is appropriate for children. I don't think a child should have a Luis Vuitton bag at four years old or have a cell phone at six. That's something I don't think is right, and it's not the way I'll raise my kids the day I have 'em. Yeah, it's an interesting one. I'll just try to keep my kids level-headed and make sure that they work just as hard as I did to get to where they are. There are going to be no free handouts and I'll want them to have a normal childhood. CBSSports.com
Officials from numerous NBA teams have told me they don't have any intention of trying to sign Sanders, whom the Bucks selected with the 15th overall selection in the 2010 draft. What's more, some NBA officials and Sanders' acquaintances are convinced he'll never play again in the NBA. Racine Journal-Times
Since then, there have been various reports about the terms and conditions of the agreement, especially in regard to how the Bucks will pay the 26-year-old Sanders. In recent days, league sources claim the Bucks will use every year they are allotted under the NBA's "stretch provision.'' And that means the Bucks will pay Sanders in annual increments of approximately $1.9 million over a seven-year period. That amount will be applied to the Bucks' salary cap each season through the 2021-2022 season. Racine Journal-Times
Royce White: I respect Larry Sanders decision. Admirable! But if you think I'm done playing, you're wrong. I NEVER said I didn't want to play. #BeWell Twitter @Highway_30
If he had remained under contract with the Bucks, Sanders still would have been able to draw a paycheck despite not playing as long as he complied with a mental health treatment plan, according to sources. Now that he's off contract, there's no structure in place for him. "He could've gotten paid, gotten full treatment, support," another source close to the negotiations said. "But that would've meant going to practice, getting coached, being part of the team, stop smoking weed, doing the treatment." ESPN.com
Sources who have been active in arranging care for Sanders worry that the financial security that comes with the buyout of his contract with Milwaukee for "about 40 cents on the dollar" presents a real risk that he won't seek the treatment he, by his own admission, desperately needs and will fall into a routine of bad habits. One of these sources agrees with the characterization that surfaced in December reports that Sanders no longer wanted to play basketball. "This is an important issue, but Larry is not the person to be the public face of it," the source said. "He says all the right things, now he has no credibility. You have to ask, 'Does he sincerely want treatment, or just to be left to do whatever he wants?'" ESPN.com
"People don't take into account that we're all very young men," Sanders said. "Scientifically, the brain doesn't stop developing. ... A guy comes into the league and it's nine or 10 years before his brain stops developing, for them to be settled with their true emotions, their cognitive reasoning, their rationality. This is the last thing to develop. But we're put into these positions where we're put on a pedestal. But chemically, we're not even fully developed yet." ESPN.com
Sanders said he'd started seeing a psychologist after his first positive test result for marijuana, which requires a player receive treatment, during the 2013-14 season. He had torn a ligament in his right thumb and had his left eye socket fractured. He was prescribed Vicodin for the pain, he said, but hated it. In lieu of traditional painkillers, he said, he turned to marijuana. "I'd had a good run of not violating, but after the eye injury, because I didn't want to use the Vicodin," Sanders said. "The effects it has on the body -- there's a lot of medication out there that will really [screw] you up. For me, my health, my safety. That's important." ESPN.com
Sacramento Kings All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins knows Sanders well. The two share an agent and have played together in the past as part of Team USA. Cousins, like Sanders, wears his heart on his sleeve and has a unique perspective on some of the issues "Support is exactly what he needs," Cousins said following the Kings win over Memphis on Wednesday. "I don't think a lot of people understand the mental abuse of this whole sport. It's not diamonds and gold everyday." Cowbell Kingdom
Larry Sanders: Thanks everyone for your love and support! I'm glad you can see a little of my struggles on your path. Peace to you all ✌ Twitter @LarrySanders
Andrew Bogut: @Larry Sanders all the best Larry. Enjoyed having you as a team mate! I hope you find peace Twitter
DeMarcus Cousins: SALUTE G @Larry Sanders Twitter @boogiecousins
Sacramento Kings All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins knows Sanders well. The two share an agent and have played together in the past as part of Team USA. Cousins, like Sanders, wears his heart on his sleeve and has a unique perspective on some of the issues.

As for Sanders, Cousins hopes that his fellow big man can find his way back to the game. "That's his personal issue," Cousins said. "I respect him for being a man about it and admitting to to whatever his issue is. He has my full support. I hope he overcomes it and gets back to playing basketball." Cowbell Kingdom

This was one of the best finishers medals they have yet given out. It was retro and cool looking. It is something you would want to hang on your medal rack. The different color shirts for guys and gals was a great idea too, so that men didn't have to wear pink. I look forward to seeing what else they do this year.

Sean Carton | February 1, 2010 | Comments
Online marketers will have to adjust their approaches because of this game-changing device. Here's why.
When the iPad was announced, I was more than a little disappointed. I had expected this thing could replace my laptop but instead it seemed like it was nothing more than an oversized iPod Touch (not an iPhone like some are saying...there's no camera. But more on that in a minute).
As a longtime Mac user, I was pissed off. And then I thought about it for a little while and I realized something:
The iPad isn't a computer. That's what makes it a game-changing device for both consumers and marketers. It's a device for consuming media...paid media.
Computers are designed as all-purpose machines for creating content. They have keyboards for entering text, mice for manipulating objects on the screen, and ports so you can get information in and out of them.
As content consumption devices, however, computers kind of suck. Sure, surfing the Web is consuming content, but there aren't very many of us (based on TV sales numbers) who'd rather watch videos and listen to music on them by choice. If you're going to kick back with a flick, you're probably going to want to do it on the TV. If you're going to listen to music, you're probably going to do so from your iPod or other MP3 device. If you're going to read an e-book, curling up with your laptop isn't exactly the method of choice.
The genius of the iPad's design and features is that it's an all-purpose device for consuming media that has a form factor that lends itself to that purpose. What's more, it's a device for purchasing media as well. In terms of getting people to pay for content, this is where it's really going to start.
Paid content's been a hot topic lately with Rupert Murdoch's pronouncements on the subject and newspapers starting to pull their content behind paid walls. So far, the results don't look too good: Newsday's experiment in paid content has yielded all of 35 subscribers in the past three months, generating around $9,000 in revenue. Surely paid content's dead, right?
Wrong. While newspapers and other Web sites that have tried to move to paid content have done poorly, the Kindle, the iPhone App Store, and iTunes (and other digital music sellers) still continue to grab great gobs of market share. People are paying for content...just not on newspapers.
Why? It's somewhat of a complex issue, but the main reason is that people aren't going to pay for stuff they can get for free somewhere else. In the case of news, unless all newspapers go behind the pay wall, nobody's going to be able to make a go of it unless they have content people can't get anywhere else: see The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. E-books (especially bestsellers and textbooks), videos, and music are all examples of similar content. Even with piracy issues, most folks are demonstrating they'd rather pay for convenience, quality, and to stay within the law.
There's another reason, too: for e-books bought through the Kindle, music purchased through iTunes and Amazon, and video purchased through similar venues (including downloaded via the Zune store or other on-demand services in cable boxes and gaming consoles), the push-button ease of buying content coupled with the fact that these services automatically bill you "later" (at least, that's what it feels like) makes spending money a lot less stressful. Ditto for the App Store and other content purchased via mobile devices: it just doesn't feel the same as whipping out your credit card every time you want something. In many ways, it's like getting chips in a casino: it's one thing to plunk down a $20 bill on a bet, it's another thing to just toss in another green chip. The chip doesn't feel like money and is a lot easier to spend.
While the iPad may have a ways to go in terms of consumer acceptance (it's not even on sale yet), it's hard to believe that other content providers and hardware manufacturers aren't going to understand this paid content equation. While many have been searching for "the answer" to paid content on the Web, the real answer may be that the future of paid content isn't on the Web at all: it's on media devices like the iPad that have been optimized for personal media consumption and to wirelessly connect to stores where you can buy new content with the push of a button.
It's for these reasons that the iPad's a game-changer. Maybe not immediately, but it points to a tectonic shift in the way that we consume media. The trend vectors have been pointing towards digital distribution of media for a long time, but in many ways we've been hampered by our computers. Many kludges have been developed (various "media center" computers, for example, and e-book readers on small-screen smartphones), but the iPad (and its imitators sure to follow) are a real recognition that people will pay for content, provided that it's delivered in a way that's convenient and comfortable to use...especially if it reminds us of how we used to enjoy curling up with reading material when it came on paper.
Is the iPad perfect? Not by a long shot. Apple missed out big-time by not including a camera to tap into the social experience that connected media can provide.* Imagine a book club (or a study group) all reading on iPads and all able to video-chat with each other as they read or have group discussions alongside the book (or film or whatever). Especially with younger consumers (potentially a huge market, especially if they can start getting their textbooks through the device) who don't use e-mail and communicate almost exclusively through social networks, the lack of more social features is going to hold iPad adoption back. The "kids" don't want "insanely cool e-mail applications": they want to be connected to each other all the time. E-mail's for old people, dude.
What does this all mean for marketers? Primarily it means that immersive experiences are more important. As people move away from their laptops to media devices such as the iPad, marketers are going to have to realize that they're not marketing through the "Web" anymore (where models like search and banners dominate). Instead, they're going to be marketing through media. In many ways, the future might look more like the past of TV advertising than what we've seen.
What types of marketing vehicles will lend themselves to this kind of future? Advergames and branded experiences will be huge. Don't believe me? Go watch a 12 year old entertain herself on a computer today. They're not reading content: they're watching videos, playing games, downloading music, and sharing things with friends. And I don't suspect they're going to be changing as they get older.
Sponsored content may also be a bigger opportunity. Sites like Hulu have shown that inserting commercials into online video content (when done respectfully) can work. But that's just video: an all-in-one media device like the iPad means that we might be seeing sponsored e-books available for free or at a reduced cost to those willing to view a few ads.
Other types of paid content - such as The New York Times' apps - when used in the context of a device optimized for reading "publications" also lend themselves to more traditional "display" advertising. It's one thing to dodge banners and pop-ups on your laptop, but it's another to perhaps stop and watch a video after reading an article in what appears to be a "publication" you hold in your hand.
So far, media consumption on computers has been about multitasking, browsing, surfing, and snarfing up quick bites of information. Computers, because of their construction and their operating systems, lend themselves well to that. Advertising has evolved on computers to take into account these consumer behaviors, bringing us to where search marketing (designed to perfectly intersect with the behavior of those who are quickly moving around a crowded World Wide Web) has dominated.
But the iPad's not a computer. And it may just be showing us a glimpse of how consumers get their media (and how we market to them) in the future.*This column has been updated; an earlier version incorrectly said the iPad did not have a microphone.

Police empty Venezuela riot prison after 61 killed
Published on Jan 28, 2013 5:53 AM
BARQUISIMETO, Venezuela (AFP) - Security forces regained full control over a prison in north-western Venezuela on Sunday and evacuated inmates after a riot left 61 dead and twice as many wounded.
"The evacuation of prisoners from the Uribana jail has concluded. Now for reconstruction," Prisons Minister Iris Varela announced on Twitter, adding that the last prisoners left quietly "without any resistance."
It took authorities two days to regain control of the entire Uribana penitentiary in Lara state after clashes between prison gangs and guards. Ms Varela said rioters and other inmates were being moved to other jails around the country.
Some inmates shouted from moving buses the names of the jails they were being moved to as worried-looking relatives waved goodbye.

Tebow rents pad in Manning's 'hood
First he was stalking Mark Sanchez. Now, Tim Tebow is little more than a football's throw away from Eli Manning.
After previously checking out a posh pad in the same exclusive New Jersey golf-course community where new teammate Sanchez lives, the Jets' backup quarterback opted for more modest living arrangements in Hoboken, N.J.
The property is just two blocks away from Manning, of the rival Giants.
Tebow inked a lease deal to rent a two-bedroom pad at 2 Constitution Court, a 13-story luxury condo building overlooking the New York skyline, sources said.
The units can run about $10,000 a month.
Manning, the two-time Super Bowl MVP, and his wife, Abby, live nearby in a condo that he bought for $2.2 million in the luxurious Hudson Tea Building on the waterfront.

A regional YMCA has come forward to say that for seven years it has employed a man, mostly out of the Ron Edwards Family Y in Burlington, who earlier this week was charged with a host of sex-related offences.
The YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford, through its vice-president, issued a press release this morning stating Sean Hewson has worked with the organization teaching the full range of lifeguard certification classes.
Hewson, 31, of Ancaster, was charged by Halton Regional Police on Thursday with a total of 16 counts related to sexual assault, sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching and sexual exploitation.
None of the charges are connected to the YMCA.
Hewson appeared briefly in Milton court this morning and according to Halton police he remains in custody following a scheduled bail hearing as the case was remanded to Tuesday (May 27).
His charges are in connection with a series of alleged sexual assaults against four former members of the Burlington Sailing and Boating Club.
The male victims, who came forward Wednesday, all detailed to Halton Regional Police a series of alleged sexual assaults that took place when they were between the ages of 13-16 in the Oakville, Burlington, Nepean and Kingston areas.
Police said the accused volunteered with the Burlington boating club for more than a decade. The alleged incidents date back as early as 2003.
For the past two years, the accused has volunteered at the Bronte Harbour Yacht Club (BHYC) in Oakville as head of a sailing school, which includes a racing team.
YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford Vice-President Kyla Kumar said via a news release that Hewson has a clean criminal record check in its files.
"Ensuring the safety and protection of children and vulnerable persons is of utmost importance to the YMCA," Kumar said.
"Since 2007, Mr. Hewson has been teaching life-saving programs at the YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford to youth and adults. The YMCA has reached out this morning to Det.-Sgt. (John) Mans at Halton Regional Police to ensure law enforcement is aware of Mr. Hewson's current and past work history at the YMCA and to confirm our commitment to support any requirements of this police investigation."
Kumar told the Post in a telephone interview she had never met or even heard of Hewson prior to the charges being laid against him.
She said he mainly worked out of the Burlington Y on Drury Lane and also out of its Flamborough location, two of its five sites. He instructed males and females from youths to adults.
Hewson has worked with the Y on contract and, most recently, part-time.
The YMCA V-P said she knows of no complaints, past or present, made against Hewson based on his work with the Y.
"As per our child protection protocols, based on these allegations, Mr. Hewson has been placed on a leave of absence from the YMCA."
She said anyone who participated in YMCA programs instructed by Hewson will receive a letter "to ensure they are aware of this investigation and to encourage them to contact Halton Regional Police should they have any concerns."
The YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford's V-P of facility development and membership operations said he had some professional contact with Hewson over the years but that he is only one of 500 full- and part-time Y workers he oversees, 1,000 if you count volunteers.
"He's really a highly qualified life-saving instructor — very competent on the deck and in the pool," said Brian Posavad, who oversees the four Y branches that have aquatic centres.
"It comes as a shock obviously," he said of the criminal charges.
Posavad said he only knows Hewson through the Y, not socially.

Lil Miss Sunshine™ Bluebeard Caryopteris x clandonensis
- Exposure
- Sun
- Season
- Fall
- Mature Size
- 24 - 30 Inches
Sunny yellow leaves contrast with the deep amethyst blue flowers in late summer. Season long color. Compact. Deer resistant.
Plant Needs
This compact plant is good for smaller landscapes and beds. Excellent as part of the mixed border or in the perennial bed, it adds a shot of bold color to the late summer garden.
This plant requires very little care. Prune to shape in spring, pruning down to where the new growth is sprouting. In Northern areas it may die completely to the ground. Tip die back is common after cold winters. The plant blooms on the current season's growth so will flower even if cut to the ground in spring. It does require well drained soil. Fertilize with a controlled release fertilizer in spring.
This cross between Petit Bleu and Sunshine Blue delivers shiny yellow foliage all summer long, and has a neat, compact habit. Abundant blue flowers appear in late summer.

Monsanto's Carcinogenic Roundup Herbicide Contaminating Water Supply
New research has confirmed what myself and other health conscious individuals have been saying about Monsanto's best-selling herbicide Roundup — the carcinogenic chemical it contains known as glyphosate has been found to be contaminating the groundwater in areas it is being applied in. What does this mean? It means that toxic glyphosate is now polluting the world's drinking water through the widespread contamination of aquifers, wells and springs.
The explosive study that confirmed the contamination effect of Monsanto's Roundup was published in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry last month, in which researchers discovered that 41% of the 140 groundwater samples taken from Catalonia Spain were actually above the limit of quantification. This means that glyphosate was actually not breaking down rapidly, despite Monsanto's claims that the chemical would do so. Without the key ability to readily break down, it is apparent that glyphosate is polluting groundwater in alarming quantities, enough to pose a significant threat to the purity of drinking water wherever it is used.
It is also important to note that due to its resistance to biodegradability, glyphosate may be lurking in nature for a very long time. But is there really cause for concern?
Glyphosate is Carcinogenic and Neurotoxic
Glyphosate is classified by the the EPA as a Class III toxic substance, and can kill an adult in as little as 30 grams. Even more concerning is the fact that glyphosate, and Monsanto's Roundup as a whole, have been linked to conditions such as:
- Hormonal disorders
- Lymphoma
- DNA damage
- Endocrine disease
- Skin cancer
- Kidney damage
- Liver damage

60 arrested in El Cajon Chaldean organized crime case
"We didn't expect this level of success," Sprecco said. "We were happily surprised with the inroads of this investigation."
Eight defendants, including one of the alleged leaders, Nofel Noel Suleyman, 22, were arraigned in federal court in San Diego Thursday afternoon, and a ninth has also been indicted.
At least 21 defendants are being prosecuted by the District Attorney's Office, mostly on methamphetamine-related charges.
Other agencies that participated included Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Border Patrol, Internal Revenue Service, sheriff's and FBI bomb squads, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
"This is one case that has the ability to have a real impact on life and on the enjoyment of the quality of life," said San Diego U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy.
The investigation has culminated in the seizure of more than 13 pounds of methamphetamine; more than 5 pounds of ecstasy, pharmaceuticals, crack cocaine, heroin and cocaine; and more than 3,500 pounds of marijuana, most of which was likely smuggled through maritime routes controlled by the Sinaloa Federation.
The cartel, headed by one of the world's most wanted men, Joaquin "El Chapo," Guzman Loera, has recently been allowed access to areas the Tijuana cartel once controlled.
Investigators also seized more than $630,000 in cash, three luxury cars, 34 firearms and four improvised explosive devices. The club has been shut down by the city and will undergo an abatement process.
Several club patrons said Thursday that for the most part the club hosted good Chaldeans who were just there to socialize. But they said the club also drew a bad element, with illegally stashed liquor and people doing drugs in the back alley late at night.
Saud Khairo, who has run the Kevin's Hair Salon barbershop at the front of the strip mall for 12 years, said he hopes the raid will help his business by bringing back customers who may have been scared away by the club's activities.
Mark Arabo, a local Chaldean and president of the Neighborhood Market Association, applauded police for making the city safer.
"This in no way, not even a half of one percent, is representational of the Chaldean community at large," Arabo said. "Chaldeans are hardworking, great family people, Christians and give back to the community. There are so many great things Chaldeans do for the community, so this just comes as a shock."
