Using Adobe SpeedGrade CC, powerful professional color correction and color grading is available to anyone with a Creative Cloud membership. In this course, professional colorist Patrick Inhofer offers a project-based learning experience to get you familiar with the SpeedGrade tools. You'll work three different types of projects through the color correction and grading process, which includes getting projects and footage into SpeedGrade, color correcting and grading shots, and then rendering and outputting shots. Each step of the process is rich with lessons and anecdotes that are applicable to real-world color grading scenarios that editors, producers, and other creatives will face.
This course was created by Patrick Inhofer and produced by Robbie Carman. We are honored to host this content in our library.
In this movie, we're going to take a look at how we pull individual shots here into SpeedGrade so that we can color grade them. Now you might be asking me, hey Patrick, why do I want to pull an individual shot? Don't I just want to pull an entire sequence, an entire EDL? And the answer is yeah, that's probably the most common workflow here in SpeedGrade CC. But there are a lot of other work flows out there, and here are a couple examples. One might the onset workflows. Right? So you're working with the director and the DP. They might want you to take a shot which are going to pull off the camera, pull it into SpeedGrade, grade it and then the DP and the director can take a look and decide how's the lighting.
And if they like what it is that they're looking at, you can save all of that grade to be used later on after editorial while you're doing the color correct. Another scenario that's very common and closely related to this is the daily's work flow, where you're taking entire cards of footage. Pre-processing that, adding a grade onto it, to then deliver to editorial. And this is especially common if your shooting raw formats like red. These are all different workflows, where the footage comes out of the camera looking extremely flat.
And by doing an initial pass on it, what we often call a one light you're expanding out the contrast, you're adding some saturation and you're giving editorial a nice looking starting point, that allows them to see what the footage actually looks like. So to get started here and show you how we go about this. If you have access to the exercise files, I've selected this folder here exercise files on my desk top. And then in the media browser, I've selected in the pull-down window Sequences from folder plus subtree. And now allowing SpeedGrade to see everything, not only in the exercise folder but in all the sub-folders as well.
And what I'm going to start with is exercise file 03_01_import direct, and I'm going to press the Plus button. And that loads up what is essentially an empty sequence. And that's fine because we're now going to add footage. Now, I've got in this media browser, I'm seeing all sorts of stuff. I'm seeing SpeedGrade project files, I'm seeing EDLs. I'm seeing all sorts of stuff in here. What I want to do is filter this just to my movie formats. Now, all I'm looking at are the movie files contained in these subfolders.
And we're going to be working with the death scenes footage. Which is all this interior stuff at the desk. And I'm going to come to the first shot I find, which is this CollinsMCU1.mov, and let's make this thumbnail a little larger. So right here. And there are two ways I can add shots into a sequence. The first is just the simple double-click. And there it is. It's down here in my sequence highlighted. The second way is, I'll go to the second shot here and use the Plus key.
And notice the tool tip that comes up. Insert after selected clip. I'll click on the Plus. And it's now inserted the second shot after whatever clip was highlighted. Now I could go through here and add all the rest of these. But I don't want to do that. These are all in one folder. I just want to go to that folder and boom, add every shot in that folder to this timeline. How do I do that? Well, the first thing I'm going to do is get rid of these two shots, so they don't double up on me. And I'll come to the second shot here, and notice this little con with the little backwards arrow.
Well, if I click on that and drag up and out, really anywhere else into the interface. Wherever I see the x show up, I'm going to release and it's now just deleted it off the timeline. And SpeedGrade re-frames the timeline showing me just what's in it. I'm going to go ahead and do the same thing. Grab this point here, drag down, release, it's gone. Empty timeline. Now, I'll come down here into the media folder, I'll scroll that down. And now I'm going to come down to the death scenes folder. And there we go.
SpeedGrade has found a total of 12 files. And I'm going to come down here to add all, click on that boom, done. All my clips are now added into this timeline. To see the actual clips themselves, I'll press the D key and that'll move us out of this Media tab into the Color tab, and that gives us our viewer. Now the thing is, you may want to rearrange the order of these clips, and very quickly, let me show you how to do that. All you have to do is grab that little icon, click and drag.
And as I drag, you can see it gives me a little icon, this red bar, showing me where precisely it'll drop that clip in. I'm going to drop it right here as the third clip, release. It's just moved that in and pushed everything else back. Alright. So there it is, pulling individual clips into SpeedGrade CC, and how to manipulate those clips within the timeline so you can get the shot ordering in the way that you desire.

After several years I'm headed back to school this fall to finish a journalism degree. I would love to travel. Have tentative plans for Taiwan next year.

It was a migraine headache that kept Erik Murphy out of practice on Monday and put his status for Wednesday in doubt. The rest of the No. 10 Florida team might need to suffer from the same. The senior forward played his best game at Florida, tying a career high with 24 points on 10-of-10 shooting from the field while adding eight rebounds as the Gators cruised to a 74-56 win over No. 22 Wisconsin.

Messi, Ronaldo go on goal sprees before Copa clash
The penalty was Messi's 200th career Spanish league goal, making him the eighth player to reach that mark and the youngest ever by four years at 25 years old.
After Messi had hit the post with a header, Pedro Rodriguez finished off a pass from Dani Alves to make it 3-1 in the 40th from another move started by Xavi.
David Villa then participated in Messi's goals in the 56th and 58th, first working a one-two combination with the four-time world player of the year for him to score from an angle. Villa then made a back pass that Adriano sent on to Messi, who tapped in his fourth goal of the night.
Earlier, Sergio Ramos scored Madrid's first goal in the 53rd minute after fellow defender Ricardo Carvalho forced goalkeeper Miguel Moya to fumble the ball by hitting his arms in an apparent foul that went unpunished.
"It was clearly a foul," Getafe coach Luis Garcia said. "It's a pity. When you are losing you have to push forward, and that's what let them get out on the break. Madrid is the best team in the world on the counterattack."
Ahead 1-0, Madrid didn't look back.
Ronaldo finished off a counterattack from its own area in the 62nd, running onto Mesut Oezil's pass and firing the ball beyond Moya.
Three minutes later, Ronaldo made it 3-0 as he charged in unmarked behind Gonzalo Higuain to head home Di Maria's floated cross at the far post. He then dispatched a penalty kick into the lower left corner in the 72nd after Alberto Lopo fouled Luka Modric in the box.
"I'm satisfied with (my hat trick), but my task is to keep it up and give my all for this club," said Ronaldo. "I want to surpass my own personal record from last season."
The Portugal forward, rarely substituted, was taken off seconds later to the applause of the Santiago Bernabeu crowd.

I have a tale that just may be related to a previous Super Moon. One of the threads on here had a post saying the last one was about 20 years ago. Right after I saw The Seventh Sign when it first came out on DVD--that night or the next--I'm pretty sure what I saw was a super moon.
I happened to be out one night after seeing that movie, walking around outside my house. And after just having seen that apocolyptic film (e.g., the moon turning red as blood), that moon freaked me out! It was HUGE, and closer than I'd ever seen the moon to be. It also looked really red. Not orange like a harvest moon, a brilliant, glowing red like the setting sun. But I knew it had to be the moon because as glowing brightly red as it was, it was in the east, at nightime.
Odd, though. Last night, I noticed the moon didn't seem to be any larger or closer than usual, yet we're now due for the super moon tomorrow.edit on 18-3-2011 by Ariel because: (no reason given)edit on 18-3-2011 by Ariel because: (no reason given)

i would say Pitt because like the hulk Pitt can keep getting stronger, he uses pain as a Stimulant that increases his strength. aside from that he was part of an alien army that would take over other worlds, so he has (alien) military training.

Methos says:
"I'd be interested to see this fight in the comics... Pitt does have the strength advantage, but there isn't a way to put Solomon Grundy down for good... M"
Oh yesh their is :p
But it only happens ever 1000 years and it takes a very powerful magic user to do it, So in no way useful to this topic, IM glad I could help:p

I don't like Grundy at all. So, I'll take Pitt even though I don't know too much about him. LOL.

If we are talking about Grundy at his most powerful then he is close to Superman strength and has taken blows from the Man of Steel without significant damage. This and the fact that he is virtually tireless in my mind provides him with a win.
If it is the version of grundy used in JLA recently, then I vote Pitt.
Oh and I don't think that Pitt really gets stronger, not in the strickest sense like the Hulk. Pitt, when he takes damage, has endorphins released in his bloodstrem that make him like the pain and wanrt more - like an adrenal boost. But i do think that he has limits and his strength increase is unlikely to be so dramatic and as quick as the Hulks.

" Extremely effective and versatile - can't believe how cheap it is! "
" It's gives u good results on a low price,i am really happy with the product "
" Very good creatine i have used a lot of diffrent creatines and this is by far the most effective "
" "
" Been using this stuff for about a month now. After the initial loading period i started to notice the results straight away. Up'd what i was lifting by about 30% and fatigue is a thing of the passed. Work mates have commented on my increase in size. "
" The first creatine ive used as i prefer glutamine. After the loading phase i noticed my body feeling harder and getting good gains when using along side Reflex's Protein also very good value Would Recomend "
" I have been using this with optimum nutrition whey for 6 weeks and i have gained 11 lbs and my muscles are lot tighter. Cant believe the price of this!!! "
" Awesome product - I've tried a few different manufacturer's Creatine, this is the best by far with a awesome price to match!! "
" Does what it says on the back, really seems to hype me up more in the gym. And make my triceps like balloons. "
" Great creatine! - Used a few brands now and this is by far the best yet... unlike others I get no headaches or cramps! - Tastes like crap but so does all creatine! "
" Ive been using on and off for about 3 months now it does what it says on the side of tub... definatly noticed increases in strenght,less flatigue and better recovery times when takin. Also a good noticable size increase in muscle growth cheers "
" This has been really good for me, I've seen some pretty big gains and the tub's lasted absolutely ages. However when mixing the stuff doesn't mix completely so ended up having to take it with smaller quantities of water. Good product I'd recomend it. "

" For the price this is the best creatine i have used! felt strength gains and muscles tighter straight after loading. works well for me with 5g before and after training mixed in with whey. "
" I've been using it 4 a while now, it is good 4 the price u pay. if ur startin out buy it. "
" Gained no benefit from using this product,tried a few creatine products and this comes no where near any of them i will be sticking with maximuscle in the future worth the extra cost.. "
" Good endurance and strength gains after 3 weeks, tub will last ages. A little haard to dissolve in water though. Great value for money. "

" It may be cheap but i found it did not work ,plus side is it mixes easy enough. i shall be sticking with maximuscle in future.but don't be put off after all some do rate it if you read the reviews just was not for me.. "
" Is is a good product felt gains in strength and endurance after a week and a bit of use. Muscles feel harder for longer after workouts. This product isnt very good at disolving and takes constant stiring. This is a good basic creatine tho. "
" Great product... looked much fuller and increase in strength ad size. however you will notice the difference size wise when you come off it. Still worth it for the money! "
" Noticed a difference after about 10 days, lifting heavier weights, more energy and focus, and does,nt upset your stomach like others do. I reccomend it to everyone. a 5 star product. "
" Have used quite a few different creatine products and never found the results to be as good as this, and this is a 1/4 of the price of most others..the original and the BEST! "
" Half way though the pot amazing! ive increased my bench by 15k! i found best results were when i mixd it with PHD nutrition synergy iso7! def recommend it! "
" I have used a few different creatiens and by far this is the most effective. i loaded up for a week taking it 4 times aday and it has increased my bench by 15kg quality product "
" Good cheap stuff, mixes well and allows you to train forever. "

" Great creatine,lasts for months. "
" Very very good product tried quite a few leading brands in creatine. this is definatley worth a go! and its really cheap other products could cost you more and give you less results. after the first week of the loading phase i noticed size gains "
" Great product saw gains instantly and my strength has really improved went up twenty pounds in bench with in a week really great buy "
" Iv tried it for 1 day,i took it three times through out and i was buzzing 4 the gym.I know it takes longer than that to feel some real effect and it might have been just a subconscious feeling but it worked.Cheap, mixs well, have it with fruit juice "
" Great basic creatine for the money - very fine and mixes better than other brands I've used, I mix with 125ml red grape juice and 125ml grapefruit juice. "
" Rather than spend loads on a fancy tub of creatine with all the extras, i just bought this and added it to my morning and pre workout protein shake. works wonders, serious pump and muscle fullness, great value and easy to use, top product! "
" Great for the price, near enough immediate effect, unreal! "
" Ive used creatine based products previously (cyclone from maximuscle) and they had awful flavour / mix. This is great - effects were immediate even through the loading phase. Only downside is the mixing isnt fantastic and the lid broke after 3 days. "
" Just got this product delivered today so cant comment on the effectiveness. value not very good on this website as i got it for 13 quid. ease of use couldnt be easier. and its so simple to use "
" First Creatine i've used so cant compare but i've definatly noticed a difference in size and I feel good. I mix with grape juice and tastes great! Using with Reflex Instant Whey and going to stick with it. "
" Really good product from reflex, i was squating only 70kg and after a week on being on this, my qsquat has gone up to 85kg, thats a mental 15kg in 1 week! dead chuft, great creatine "
" It's excellent value for money! I don't see the point of spending over £25 for creatine as there mostly the same. Drink lots of water and eat the right food to see big results from Reflex Creapure Creatine! "
" Great product. cant go wrong for the price. "
" Was using 35kg weights,started using these instead of similar products and immediately went to 49kg weights with quicker recovery.felt better in the gym too.recommended. "
" Great value for money, does the job, doesn't taste that bad at all even with just water, what more do you need? "
" Since using this I have better training sessions, lifting heavier weights, less fatigue and muscle seems more pumped, upto now no side effects. "
" Again great value for money,but will say became temper-mental with it,to which close family/friends noticed,i would go by your own reaction to the stuff and not the dosage it recommends as everybody reacts differently, cant say this stuff is not effective its pretty potent if you ask me,i question how regular these random drug tests occur to be honest as it has strong similarity to steroids of which i used to do 5 years back.overall advice is gently gently cheeky monkey,that is if your not to hard to care about your health ;) Paul "
" The first thing you should know is that this is Creapure creatine monohydrate, which is the best sort. There is no problem with the quality, and it's an excellent price for what it is. You need to know how to use creatine to get the best out of it - most people just mix it into their post-workout shake or some other drink, not realizing most of the powder sinks to the bottom. If the creatine isn't dissolved, it won't taken up into your blood. If it enters your body in suspension, i.e. floating around in the drink, very little will be absorbed and you will experience the "bloating" said to accompany creatine use. Powders dissolve more easily in hot water, so dissolve this in your tea/coffee. You could even mix it into hot water, then leave the water in the fridge to drink later - this creatine is good enough quality that it stays in solution for a long time. Unlike some supplements, Reflex's blurb on the effects of creatine is accurate and supported by research. It will make you gain 6-9 lbs of water weight, which is stored in your muscles and makes them look bigger and fuller. It will also improve your performance in some ways (though not necessarily maximum strength). Some people will tell you to load, maintain and cycle off creatine. Studies generally show this is unnecessary, and simply taking a flat maintenance dose permanently is just as good (if not better). Bear in mind creatine takes about 28 days to reach tissue saturation, and 28 days to wash out, so you waste a lot of time on creatine if you cycle it. In the same vein, don't be quick to judge its effects. I've used Reflex's brand of creatine for a long time, and, in accordance with actually using it properly (in solution), have never experienced any side effects. It does everything it says on the tub, and I urge you to buy it. £16 (as of 23/12/11) for 500 g, which for most people is 100 days' worth, is fantastic value for the best creatine money can buy. "
" Super product, if you're organized enough to use it, don't take it with water or oj. works good for pct as well "
" Very cheap and great product! "
" Good product... Best Creatine I ever had !! Go for It.. You will find effect !! "
" Works great. cheap. been using this for ages. cant complain. "
" 500g tub lasts around 80 days after loading phase great value, increased in strength and bench went up. I mix with warm fruit squash as doesnt dissolve easily, must take with some sort of fruit juice or carbohydrate to absorb. I recommend and get great gains along with protein. Will buy again! "
" MUST BUY PRODUCT - Recently started gym and after a 5 week cycle i felt very good gains, no aches, no side effects - good all round creatine. I used a one scoop before training and 1 after, as aposed to just the one scoop.. but it definately benefited me. Dont waste money on other products when you can buy this for such great value. "
" This was my first time trying a creatine product and I've seen some great results so far! Larger, albeit softer, muscles, being able to push out those last 2 reps of a heavy set and some decent strength gains are the main benefits. I did a loading and maintenance phase as the tub instructs and I intend to cycle the 500g tub with a 4 week cutting phase. Price-wise this was very competitive. I only saw one or two products slightly cheaper and they were from brands that I knew very little about. I've used many Reflex products before and they have always been top quality. "
" Super creatine, mixes even better now for some reason almost like micronised one, but be organized if you taking it, have a strict time table to max the results 5g before 10g after workouts works best in my opinion "
" Doesn't seem to dissolve very well. I literally stir it for ages and still have powder sitting at the bottom of the glass... Can't really rate effectiveness much - not seen much difference in my training. "
" Best creatine I've tried so far. Mixes well and by far the least grainy texture I've tried too. Great results too after only a couple weeks. Will buy again! And super quick delivery too. Free delivery and was here the next day unlike most other sites. Perfect "
" "Excellent" Great value for money compared to others on the market, the stuff actually works, amount of weight I'm lifting hasn't increased much but I seem to be able to get through workouts a lot easier, muscles are pumped and sore but still have bags of energy, running the risk of over training! Would recommend to anyone! Mix mine in with my post workout shake so that I don't have to drink it by itself. "
" Been making alllllllllll kindssssssssssss of gains! Recovery time descreased aswell. Mixes easily into protein shake. "
" I've always trusted Reflex for their quality and this is no exception. First time using Creatine and I can't believe the results...I'm lifting heavier than before, not getting as fatigued, the list goes on. I have supassed my PB lifts, this stuff is great!! No side effects either...Couldn't approve of this more :) "
" Really great creating which helps you achieve best results. After just few days of taking it i was able to do one more set on all stations. No taste at all which is good thing as well! "
" Extremely good product at very good price. Have seen a good increase in strength since finishing loading phase "
" This has to be the best creatine I have ever used, once the loading phase is done, you get increased concentration, more energy & recovery. you can also lift alot heavier. Reflex creapure is the safest & the best. and because you only need 5g it lasts along time. I highly recommend this. "
" Best creatine I've taken. It really does help performance. Lets put it this way, I injured my shoulder a while back and at the time, my biggest bench was about 80kg (not overly exciting I know) however, I hadn't benched in over 4 months because of my injury and I just beat my PB by benching 95kg yesterday. No need to even look elsewhere and the fact that it is Creapure as well makes the deal a whole lot sweeter! "
" An awesome product by reflex, the effect of this supplement is awesome it works great & works instantly. I mean if your looking for something on a low budget but want to gain lean muscle, look abit bigger then this is your supplement. Try the supplement out, i give it a 10/10 "
" Have been using creatine roughly around 2 months and I can see a difference already with my muscle size and strength. This is the first time that I have used creatine over Whey powders and I think I will using it in the forseen future too. It is very cheap for value and I still have more than half a tub remaining after 2 months, on the recommendation of using one scoop per day (5 grams recommended daily. Very easy to use, it is tasteless which isn't a problem for me. Overall I will recommend this product if you are seeking to try something new for a change. "

Final verdict and going back to Tera Online
Reviews & Impressions « Guild Wars 2
Scammers are a part of the game in EVE. They're another type of enemy you have to watch out for. They don't have players like that in Darkfall?
And honestly, Tera? If you like games like Darkfall and UO, I can understand you not liking GW2, but Tera? Pffff, okay.
And you're seriously butthurt because ArenaNet are making money off of the gem store? If this puts you off, you're going to have a very hard time playing anything at all very soon. Microtransactions are the replacement for subscriptions. Subscriptions are dead. Pathfinder Online is using microtransactions instead of subs, too, you know, and it's the "next big" sandbox game. Gonna skip it?
Calling something the "fast food equivalent" of anything would be considered bashing it.
I only played EVE very briefly, and I could name a few surface problems with it, but one of those problems would definitely not be how well it aged. In fact, it probably aged better than nearly any other game of its time.
Typical. Sandbox. Elitist.
Can I just PVE?

World vs World is where three servers have territorial siege battle over a two week period. If you want to avoid all PvP, you won't be interested, but you may find it's worth checking out anyway.
The dungeons are instances. They all have level requirements, but if you enter above the requirement you will be scaled down. The best rewards for any dungeon are actually for players at max level. All of the dungeons are designed for 5 players.
Is it hard to block certain words from being used for naming a character?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Everything about their moderation is uneven and arbitrary. They might have fixed it, but someone couldn't use "Arbiter of Light" because apparently "bite" is offensive in French.
Then you have people who were denied their headstart because they named a character "Lappdance". I could see changing that one, but a three day ban?
I screencapped a bunch of Reddit posts by ANet demonstrating how terrible their moderation is.
This is an EKSA game
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Competitive PvP is not something that killers do. GW2 is a very anti-killer game, with an extreme focus on cooperative gameplay outside of rigid PvP systems. Even WvW presents a weak avenue for killers.
Today, killers are often considered griefers, especially in a PvE-focused environment.
In modern games, systems are in place to prevent players from harming each other without consent, quests guide you across the entire world and directly to the best loot, and you can socialize over Vent with your guild while you play.
The four types still apply in certain ways, but the test is completely irrelevant. It wasn't even written by Richard Bartle.

sPvP team colors
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
I kind of like this idea.
Something I had in mind was to allow you to change all but the primary color on any armor to any color other than red or blue. The primary color of each piece of armor will always be your team color.
In TF2 you can paint hats many different colors, but special paints (which will change with your team color) are required to paint anything red or blue.

As far as I know, the game has a persistent world about as much as Unreal Tournament does.

News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
I got the chance to try it out. It's still in very early stages in spite of what the Kickstarter led people to believe.
The easiest way to put it is that they don't know what kind of game they want to make. Use of the Unreal Engine is obvious; characters move, jump, and even wall-jump exactly like Unreal Tournament characters. However, it also has a few MMO elements. Unfortunately, not one of these aspects is a good one. Many skills (at least on Pyro) cannot be used without a target. Skills use a global cooldown in addition to individual cooldowns even though they use mana and animation-dependent hit detection. You have 9 skills on your bar at all times, which, frankly, is far too many for such an action-oriented game. There are tank and healer classes. There is a roguish class that can stunlock directly out if stealth. Countless features are included for no reason other than "That's how WoW does it."
They don't seem to realize that, outside of WoW, WoW PvP is not considered good. The result is a mismatch of features that don't really compliment each other very well.
What's the chance...
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Think of how many MMO accounts have been compromised over the years. Now consider how many people use the exact same login and password for other MMOs and GW2.
The "hackers" already had all of your information before you even made your GW2 account. That's why it was such an easy job.
Down Leveling
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Just think about how much easier it would be to grief in GW2 compared to other games.
In WoW, how do you grief by going to a lower level friendly zone? You'd have to follow that one guy around, stealing all of his kills. In GW2, you'd simply go to any nearby event and AoE everything before anyone in the area has a chance to attack. Even if you don't get anything back, you've inconvenienced dozens of people with minimal effort. It's just way too easy to grief without downscaling.
Don't forget that quests wait for you, but events do not. A high level player can't ruin your quests. He can only delay them. In GW2, events can be ruined without downscaling because if you're denied the event when it comes up, you'll just have to find another one.
And even without the intention of griefing, players would be powerleveling their friends through low level content, ruining the events (mostly by utterly removing any challenge and therefore fun) of anyone who happens to be nearby.
Cash shop explanation?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Um. I have about 3.8 gold right now, and it's enough to buy over a thousand gems. You're reading the graph completely wrong. The average, high, and low values are per 100 gems, not per 1.
Cash shop explanation?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
There were times I was a bit concerned. I plan to trade most of the money I earn for gems, but looking through the gem store, I honestly don't know what I would buy.
I level so quickly that boosters seem worthless. I think it'll be a long time before I feel like actually playing through a sixth character. With five characters I have loads of storage, and with the way salvaging, depositing, and selling works from anywhere, I don't see inventory space ever becoming a problem.
I guess I could spend gems on... mini pets? Dyes? Maybe I'll buy a pair of glasses or a hat for each of my characters. I'll probably end up getting some fine transmutation stones, although I currently have buckets of the standard ones and not much to use them on. There really just isn't that much to buy right now.
I think most people who are buying gems are doing so just to sell them for gold to give them an early edge in the game, which is keeping gem prices pretty low. Once everyone has loadsamoney, I don't know if anyone will care about gems until they add new costumes.

Arena Net failed with the launch of GW2
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
I haven't had any downscaling problems myself, but so much could have been avoided.
ArenaNet refused to have an open beta. Their "stress tests" were conducted at awkward hours, open only to pre-purchasers, and announced very shortly before they happened. This ensured that a tiny percentage of launch players would actually participate in them. As such, services like the Trading Post were completely untested by a high number of players and failed at launch.
There was also little to no account security. Their verification system was disabled for launch because (as we see now) it doesn't work very well. This resulted in countless accounts being compromised at launch. Players who lost their accounts were not contacted but only told that they were permanently banned the next time they tried to log in. If they contacted support (which they were not instructed to do) they'd recover their account when their message was processed.
This unfortunately would take days because of ban-happy moderators. Any and every offense from a questionable name (even if it's borderline sexual or merely has the word "poop" somewhere in it) to profanity in chat (even without any offensive context) to botting received a 3-day ban. Botting? Okay. Exploits? Okay. Naming violation? Not okay. There is no reason to deny a person his headstart because his name was "Lappdance" or "Pimp Juice" or "Batman". People who used names they'd been using for years were receiving 3-day bans. Change their names if you must, but a 3-ban for the first offense on a borderline name? The confusion resulted in their support system getting jammed, and people with very serious problems couldn't get through.
Finally, a lack of official communication has made everything very sloppy. Instead if using their official site, they've been using Reddit as a support forum. Updates were posted to Reddit and Facebook instead of the game launcher. People who were banned received no emails. They were instructed (on Reddit) to post their character name in the thread to find out why they were banned. This is nothing short of unacceptable for a multitude of reasons.
"When it's ready." I'd say that yes, GW2 was ready. Unfortunately, ArenaNet was completely unprepared.

"But alas, I immediately run into one problem. While the opening excites, and the first area is lush with colour and brilliant animation, it immediately doesn't feel like a revolution of the genre, but a refined update."
So you failed your mission to overhype the game in spite of avoiding all information on the game. You managed to avoid even finding out who the developer is, but still expected a revolution.
Maybe one day you'll learn how to form realistic expectations for things. It's really easy, actually. Assume everything the developers say is best case. In other words, don't make things up yourself.

Democrats work to boost Rivera challenger
In an apparent effort to boost the visibility of a low-profile contender going after a potentially vulnerable incumbent, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Tuesday added Gloria Romero Roses to its list of "emerging races" that could help the party regain control of the U.S. House.
Roses is a relatively unknown candidate running against Republican Congressman David Rivera in a Miami-area district that the incumbent captured in the GOP tsunami of 2010.
Roses is managing partner of Nexus Homes, LLC, and touts her work with the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and on education issues.
Despite state and federal investigations into Rivera's finances, Democrats have missed out on drawing a higher profile candidate into the contest, especially since state Rep. Luis Garcia quit the race after a falling-out with the DCCC. Florida investigators confirmed last week that Rivera will not face state charges in their probe.
But Robby Mook, executive director of the DCCC, said candidates like Roses were "secret weapons" in their bid to take control of the lower chamber. Indeed, he cast Roses' lack of elected experience as a benefit in the race — giving her the mantle of a problem-solver compared to Rivera's ethical baggage.
"She is not a partisan divider," Mook said. "She is not an insider politician."
Roses said she was someone "living the American dream with my family," but worried that the policies that made that dream possible for some were in danger. She slammed Rivera for supporting Republican efforts to overhaul Medicare while opposing an extension of the payroll tax cut and also took a swipe at the Republican's ethical issues.
"Unfortunately, we've had a leader in Washington that's been a little bit busy ... defending himself in a corruption scandal," she said.
Attempts to reach Rivera's campaign for a response were unsuccessful.
Before Tuesday's announcement, some observers were surprised that Democrats had not been able to lure a more popular name into the contest.
"Because of some of the problems that he's had ... you would think he would be a lot more vulnerable," said Aubrey Jewett, a political science professor at the University of Central Florida.
But Steve Schale, a Democratic campaign consultant, said Roses was worth being placed on the emerging races list. He said that if she does well in fundraising and puts together a solid organization, she could build up the name recognition necessary to topple Rivera.
"Candidate quality is not measured by how well people in Tallahassee know who you are," he said.
And he said the demographics of the district and Rivera's well-publicized problems were still enough to make it likely that the race will be competitive in November.
"At this point, there's really no reason to think it won't be," Schale said.

C10k problem
The C10k problem is the problem of optimising network sockets to handle a large number of clients at the same time.[1] The name C10k is a numeronym for concurrently handling ten thousand connections.[2] The problem of socket server optimisation has been studied because a number of factors must be considered to allow a web server to support many clients. This can involve a combination of operating system constraints and web server software limitations. According to the scope of services to be made available and the capabilities of the operating system as well as hardware considerations such as multi-processing capabilities, a multi-threading model or a single threading model can be preferred. Concurrently with this aspect, which involves considerations regarding memory management (usually operating system related), strategies implied relate to the very diverse aspects of the I/O management.[2]

We've been gradually moving homewards — both geographically, in terms of time zones, and culturally. So, now, we're in England, where they speak English (after a fashion) and where the signs and the books are all in English. Weird. I've had to resist the temptation several times today to speak to car rental people and hotel clerks in either Arabic or German. It seems quite homelike here, except, of course, for their extraordinarily bizarre habit of driving on the wrong side of the road, which — I can personally testify — nearly cost several of them their lives today, and would have done had I not brilliantly saved them by, at the last minute, adapting my own perfectly reasonable driving practices to match their unaccountably weird ones.
John of Gaunt, speaking in Shakespeare's Richard II, praises the place where I now type as
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise;
This fortress, built by nature for herself,
Against infection, and the hand of war;
This happy breed of men, this little world;
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands;
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
Fear'd by their breed, and famous by their birth,
Renowned for their deeds as far from home
(For Christian service and true chivalry)
As is the sepulcher, in stubborn Jewry.
Thus, he links it with the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, where we stood just a couple of weeks ago, and binds together the two extremes of our recent travels.
I couldn't help but think, too, as we flew into London from Munich, how, just a few decades ago, within the memory of quite a few people still living, that route would have been a very nice German bombing run, or, a year or two later, a good return from an Allied raid. As I've been saying a lot lately, things pass away. But I should add that some things should pass away, and that that's one of them.
Coming up this way from London via the M1 expressway, we hit a terrible traffic jam. I still don't know what caused it. (We hit a similar one between Bernau am Chiemsee and Munich in the morning that, we began to fear, might cost us our flight; it's been a day for traffic.) Anyway, we were finally altogether diverted off of the expressway for an enormous detour running through Dunstable and all the way to Milton Keynes. In Dunstable, I was amused, as we drove by a cemetery on our left, to see a traffic sign bearing an arrow pointing leftwards and announcing "Long Stay Parking." Indeed.
Now, we rest on the southern outskirts of Leicester. Centuries ago, the Battle of Bosworth Field was fought not far from here, where Richard III, as Shakespeare depicts him, cried out — unseated and, as it proved, in vain — "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" Historically, it was here that his body was brought after the soon-to-be-crowned Henry VII killed him; the townspeople threw it into the river. Which reminds me of what still remains in my mind one of the great dramatic performances that I've ever seen: Gary Armagnac as Richard III at the Utah Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City.

Think the average compensation of a CEO is a lot? How about some perspective? Michael del Castillo
The average CEO earns $10.1 million a year in total compensation, according to a report published yesterday by management consulting firm Hay Group and The Wall Street Journal. The survey of over 300 U.S. companies found that the total median rate rose 3.6 percent including salary annual bonuses, restricted stock, and stock options at the time they were granted.
If you think that sounds like a lot, check this out:
Looking for a different perspective?
In spite of the huge number results indicate that decades of CEO pay compensation increases may be winding down, according to the report. The past three years that $10 million number has been mostly the same, with average salary of $1.1 million, annual bonus of roughly $2 million, and equity grants valued at approximately $7 million.

When I taught that I thought it was new and called it a SPIRAL ride with a twist ..like the Peterson-a move will disappear and then return because once you've been caught in a Peterson you never forget that sensation of helplessness. I mentioned a ''chicken wing '' one day and no one knrw what I was talking about .Take care .
The butcher I described is usually done from neutral. If our guy is in control, he will probably have the near leg hooked as in your post. I'm old, too - I still teach the Navy ride to the Navy stack-up.
Spider ,
I think we posted our versions of the butcher at the same time -didn't you find your kids were prone to jumping out to the side too soon and giving up an easy escape w/out hooking the near leg ? My guys used to try to drive a guy over too soon and the botom guy would just roll through -I had't heard the term butcher as it refers to wrestling in about 20 years .I am old .

They had theme park rights for Star Wars for TWENTY FIVE YEARS. What makes you think they will do ANYTHING with them NOW?? Get real.
Why are we pretending that Avatar and Cars even begin to rival the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings properties? I don't think that these new property developments by Universal are by any means the "death" of Disney (as that is just a silly idea/way of thinking about this)... but Star Wars is more on par with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, and Disney has yet to do anything groundbreakingly impressive with it.
IF Universal is able to put together a Lord of the Rings offering on par with Harry Potter, Disney should do something with Star Wars, as Avatar and Cars aren't nearly as exciting and simply will stop cutting it.
Disneyland Wooooh!
"You see- Everybody's got a laughin' place, trouble is most folks won't take the time to go look for it."
On the west coast side, I can do DL/DCA in 2-3 days at most. So the ideal vacation is hitting Universal in Orlando for an extended weekend and then hitting up DL/DCA for an extended weekend. Combined, I think, that's a better alternative than hitting WDW and Universal in Orlando.
I hope this happens. Disney World really needs something to bring them to their feet. Disney World has many areas and attractions that haven't been updated in years. You have other parks that haven't had a major addition in years as well. Disney needs to get it together!
Jeff Wayne
This might look bad for Disney, but It's actually the best thing that can happen because it forces them to compete. Competition is good.
Since May 2003
Universal's numbers are way up, and those numbers represent dollars that customers are willing to spend on themed entertainment in Orlando. For Disney to not even try to compete (as you appear to suggest) when actively loosing market share just flat out doesn't make sense as a business strategy.
There is not a fictional fan-made competition between these parks, it is very real. Disney tried to negotiate Potter, they didn't, and now customers that would have belonged to Disney belong to Universal.
Disneyland Wooooh!
"You see- Everybody's got a laughin' place, trouble is most folks won't take the time to go look for it."
Absolutely right Cruise.
Disney judges what they are doing based on attendance. More attendance = more money. If people end up going to Universal instead of Disney, Disney will definitely learn this quickly and it's up to them to determine how to get people going to their parks rather than Universal.
I do know for a fact that the close proximity of the competition is slightly good because guests of one park usually chose to go to competing parks for a few days. Either way, if this happens, Disney is going to feel it. They do need a big kick in the pants.
Since May 2003
I can't think of a single possible ride that would fit the LotR setting. The droptower of Barad-dûr? Walking: The Ride? Middle Earth is one of my favorite things, maybe second only to Star Wars, but I can't picture it at all in a theme park setting.
Having just seen "The Hobbit", I think a roller-coaster or Transformers-type ride through the Mines of Moria, fighting Orcs would be interesting. A flume ride down a river could be fun. I think LoTR could work really well if they put the same investment into it as they did w/ WWoHP...
I'm all for it. The theme park potential is huge.
And no, there's no way this will kill WDW. It might mean that people add an extra day or two to the Universal portion of their Orlando vacation.

As if anyone needed more evidence, he provided it tonight.
Firstly, he PH's for EE in the 8th, ostensibly for defensive reasons.
Jerry Narron could have a 7 foot King Cobra's fangs 3 inches deep in his right butt cheek and he would call animal control in lieu of an ambulance.
I don't know when he's going to figure it out but, his late-inning liability is his bullpen - NOT EDWIN ENCARNACION. The chances of EE making a game-changing error in the late innings pale in comparison to the chances of our "newly improved!" bullpen blowing a lead. Thus, with the move, we lose EE's bat (2 HR's tonight, btw) and inherit Castro's. Predictably, the bully blew the lead, and we had 5 innings of extra baseball w/o EE's bat.
Secondly, why the hell did Narron get Harang warmed up to throw only one inning? It was questionable in the first place to involve him but, if you choose to do so, why pull him as soon as he appears to have it working in favor of EZ who, aside from being VERY undependable as of late, is TOMORROW'S STARTER???? Hell, use Cormier! Keep Harang in for a second inning! What the hell is the justification for that move??
Lastly...you all knew it was coming.....walking Ryan Howard with runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs. Pitcher up next.
Howard is hitting .293, so we'll round that up to .300. To those of you in Tallahassee, FL, that means he'll get a base hit 3 out of every 10 times he hits. Of course, he is one of the best power hitters in the game, so the chances that he'll hit a HR or double are greater than, say, Ryan Freel, another player who has a similar batting average. The difference in this situation is that a single hurts you just as badly as a HR, as a single would almost assuredly score the runner at 2nd and end the game the same way a 3 run HR would.
So...to recap, we have runners at 1st and 2nd with no outs as visitors in extras, with Howard at the plate, in a situation in which a single basically creates the same effect as a HR. With the pitcher on deck, seems reasonable to believe that you have a 70% chance of retiring Howard (ok, maybe a 55=60% chance with Lizard pitching) and then getting the pitcher. Instead, Narron throws the odds out the window and IBB Howard, loading the bases with no outs, putting the winning run at third with no outs. That's right - no outs. The chances of a hitter getting a runner home from third with no outs is exponentially higher than the chances of Ryan Howard scoring a base hit.
I just don't see how anyone cannot reasonably ascertain that we are in the WC Lead today because of a poor NL, some overachieving players, and a couple of fortuitous trades (2 and 3 overlap; see: Arroyo, Bronson) instead of Narron's managing. I daresay he is one of the worst managers in baseball.

Rating: 1/5Forget using the timer function
This review is from: USB Wireless PowerPoint PPT Presenter Remote Control Laser Pointer - up to 20m
Pros: Works fine as a remote. Small size is appealing. Vibrating/buzzing alarm is perfect for giving verbose speakers the electronic hook.
Cons: Manual is poorly written. After several hours, I made sense of it, but they left out the most important part: how to start the timer once you have the alarm time programmed. I tried every possible button combination, to no avail. You are stuck with selecting from the built-in presets of 3,5,10,20 & 30 minutes, which start counting down immediately as soon as they are set, which is not the greatest way to implement this.
Other Thoughts: The timer function was the only reason I bought this. This is a great concept, but needs to be implemented.

Aviva Premiership: Sale Sharks entertain Saracens in Friday night clash
Last Updated: 14/02/14 10:22pm
Saracens travel to Sale Sharks aiming to climb back to the top of the Aviva Premiership after being knocked off top spot by Northampton last weekend.
The hosts will be looking to follow up their 24-19 victory over Gloucester and inflict successive defeats on Saracens at the AJ Bell Stadium.
The long-time league leaders head into the clash following a surprise home defeat at the hands of London Irish last time out.
Saints took advantage of that slip-up by edging past Exeter to claim pole position, although it will be a short-lived stay if Saracens topple Sale on Friday night.
"It is always important to respond, and we always say that it's a sign of a good team when they respond from defeat."
Saracens' David Strettle
"We are looking to respond," Saracens' England international wing David Strettle said.
"It is always important to respond, and we always say that it's a sign of a good team when they respond from defeat."
Saracens are buoyed by the return of several England players from Six Nations duty.
The list includes full-back Alex Goode, centre Brad Barritt and prop Mako Vunipola, while half-backs Charlie Hodgson and Richard Wigglesworth will start against their former club.
Dream start
Meanwhile, Sale boss Steve Diamond feels his side are capable of beating their opponents on home soil; a victory would take them into a play-off position.
They have won three of their last four Premiership fixtures and are unbeaten for six games in all competitions at home - a run that stretches back to November.
"As a squad, we are in a different position now, compared to last year, and the team has got a real belief about it," Diamond told the club's official website.
"We didn't play as well as we could on Friday (against Gloucester), but we got the result, and the icing on the cake was getting the bonus point.
"Friday's game is a huge game for us.
Sale boss Steve Diamond has made three changes - all up front - from the side that accounted for Gloucester last time out.
Prop Eifion Lewis-Roberts replaces Ross Harrison, while hooker Marc Jones starts instead of Tommy Taylor and lock Andrei Ostrikov takes over from Jonathan Mills.
Harrison, Taylor and Mills are all on bench duty, along with England prop Henry Thomas.
Sale: 15 Miller, 14 Brady, 13 Leota, 12 uitupou, 11 Cueto, 10 Cipriani, 9 Peel; 1 Lewis-Roberts, 2 Jones, 3 Cobilas, 4 Ostrikov, 5 Paterson, 6 Braid, 7 Seymour, 8 Gaskell.
Replacements: 16 Taylor, 17 Harrison, 18 Thomas, 19 Mills, 20 Easter, 21 Cliff, 22 Macleod, 23 Arscott.
Saracens: 15 Goode, 14 Ashton, 13 Taylor, 12 Barritt, 11 Strettle, 10 Hodgson, 9 Wigglesworth; 1 Vunipola, 2 George, 3 Stevens, 4 Borthwick, 5 Kruis, 6 Brown, 7 Burger, 8 Wray.
Replacements: 16 Brits, 17 Barrington, 18 Johnston, 19 Botha, 20 Joubert, 21 De Kock, 22 Tomkins, 23 Wyles.

Burnett (0-0, 0.00) (Sports Network) - Veteran right-hander Jake Westbrook can continue a career resurgence in start No. 3 of 2012 tonight when the St. Louis Cardinals return to PNC Park for the second game of a three-game weekend series with the Pittsburgh Pirates, who will send A.J. Burnett to the mound for the first time this season. Westbrook, a 34-year-old Georgian who made his major-league debut 12 years ago with the New York Yankees, was 12-9 in 33 starts last season - his first full year with the St. Louis Cardinals. He split 2010 with the Cleveland Indians and Cardinals and went 10-11. Previously, he had not reached double-digit wins since claiming 15 victories with Cleveland back in 2006. In two starts thus far in April he's allowed just one earned run in two outings, tossing 14 innings while allowing just seven hits and holding opposition batters to a stingy .146 average. St. Louis has won both his starts, defeating Cincinnati and Chicago while outscoring their foes, 17-4. Westbrook is 0-3 in eight career meetings with Pittsburgh. For the Pirates, Burnett will take the place of Kevin Correia, who was scratched because of discomfort in his left side. Burnett will make his Pirates debut after being activated off the 15-day disabled list. He had been sidelined since early in spring training with a fractured right orbital bone, an injury that occurred when he fouled a ball off during a bunting drill. After undergoing surgery on March 2, Burnett began a rehab program a week later and eventually made a total of three rehab starts -- the last one coming with Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday night. Burnett was acquired by the Pirates this past winter from the New York Yankees and was expected to be Pittsburgh's Opening Day starter. He spent three seasons in New York and helped the Yankees to a World Series title in 2009. In 33 games, including 32 starts, last season, Burnett went 11-11 with a 5.15 earned run average. In Friday's opener, Lance Lynn tossed seven strong innings and scored the go- ahead run for St. Louis as the Cardinals took a 4-1 victory. Lynn (3-0) allowed two hits and a run, on an inside-the-park homer from Alex Presley in the first inning, but stifled the Pirates over the next six, yielding just two hits the rest of the way while fanning four. "He just looked in control," said St. Louis manager Mike Matheny about Lynn. "He settled down (after the first) and found his groove and didn't really look back." Jason Motte worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth to record his third save of the year. Carlos Beltran tallied two hits and knocked in a run and Daniel Descalso added a solo shot for St. Louis, which has won five of six. Pittsburgh's Charlie Morton (0-1) surrendered two runs - one earned - on four hits and three walks in a five-inning start. St. Louis was 9-7 versus the Pirates last season. 04/21 16:49:36 ET

Wes Moore Receives Five-Year Contract
Eighth winningest coach in Division I was named head coach on April 5, 2013.
NC State vs. Clemson
NC State defeated Clemson by a final score of 76-50 on 1/10/15. Photos by Greg Mintel and Kristy Shaefer.
A veteran with 13 seasons of experience as an assistant coach, Nikki West will enter her third season with the Wolfpack with the start of the 2015-16 season.
During her first season at NC State (2013-14), West helped lead the Wolfpack to the following accomplishments:
A 25-8 record
Her second season (2014-15) on the Wolfpack staff was also impressive, as the team struggled through the significant adversity of having five student-athletes miss a combined 81 games throughout the season as a result of multiple injuries and an NCAA ruling on freshman Bosnian center Sara Boric to still finish with an 18-15 record which ended in the Sweet 16 of the 2015 WNIT.
NC State head coach Wes Moore announced on April 17, 2013 that Nikki West had been named Associate Head Coach for the Wolfpack Women's basketball program.

Teaching computers to understand the visual world
The goal of computer vision is to make computers efficiently perceive, process, and understand visual data such as images and videos. The ultimate goal is for computers to emulate the striking perceptual capability of human eyes and brains-or even to surpass and assist the human in certain ways.
Within Microsoft Research, our computer-vision research include investigations into:
- Imaging and Photogrammetry, including high-resolution cameras, radiometric calibration, photometric stereo, 3-D imaging and video, 3-D scene reconstruction from images and video, and image and video enhancement.
- Pattern Recognition and Statistical Learning, including data clustering and classification, manifold learning, and high-dimensional geometry and statistics.
- Object Detection and Recognition, including face detection, alignment, and tagging; video-based face recognition; and sparsity-based robust face recognition. We also investigate general object-class recognition and advanced medical-image analysis.
- Image and Video Editing and Enhancement, including denoising and deblurring, novel representations for images and video, techniques for content-aware edits such as in-painting, and object removal.

|AR8200MK3 Handheld receiver's option socket format change. The type of the option socket located on the side of the AR8200MK3 receiver will have to be changed to another type starting with the receiver serial number 152831 in the GOVERNMENT VERSION and 554251 in the US CONSUMER VERSION. We regret this inconvenience due to sudden unavailability of this socket part.
This is only a socket "shape" difference, there is no change in features and performance, nevertheless this means that the following optional cables won't be compatible anymore with the new socket:
CR8200 recording cable
8200USB (USB) interface cable
8200PC (serial) interface cable
In the near future we are going to produce the three above cables compatible with the receiver's new socket. Stay tuned for release information...
|Due to delivery delays affecting components for the new AR8200D and digital upgrade kit for the AR8200 Mark III, availability of this products and service will be delayed for approximately one month. Detailed information will be posted on this site when the upgrade is available. Thank you for your patience.
