After Effects: Principles of Motion Graphics with Ian Robinson covers some of the core principles used to create motion graphics, breaking them down into smaller groups of applied techniques in After Effects. The course explores everything from gathering inspiration to integrating traditional typography, transitional elements, animated textures, color, and more into motion graphics. Instructions for building a toolkit with templates and a style guide for future projects are also included. Exercise files accompany the course.
If you're joining me from the last video, this scene probably looks pretty familiar. But if it's new to you, check it out. We've got a ground plane, our ALL Winter text in three-dimensional space, and then we have a point light which is just kind of tinting the scene a little bit yellow, and then we have a parallel light which is helping illuminate the scene overall just a little bit from the back, and then the spotlight, which is our primary light. There are some features that a lot of people tend to gloss over or miss when they first get started, and I want to just sort of bring those to light here in this video about lighting techniques, because you need to know these little, fine details if you want to take your designs to the next level.
So the first thing I want to explain is the shadow depth. Right now, if we grab our Orbit Around tool, and orbit around to the back side of the type, as you can see here--here let me zoom in to 100%--the shadows look pretty good. Our type layer is sitting right on the ground. It's just right there on the ground. But if we go to Composition > Comp Settings, under the Advanced tab, under the Rendering Plug-in for Advanced 3D, you want to click on the Options button.
Now by default the Shadow Map Resolution is set to the comp size of your project. Let's first change that to 250. Now since our project is 1280 x 720, this is going to bring the Shadow Map Resolution down. When we look at the scene, all I have do is press OK, and you can see I've got kind of a light leak underneath the layer here, and that's because the shadow map doesn't have very much detail. You might be thinking yourself, why in the heck would I want to give myself less detail? Well if you've got a really complicated scene with a whole bunch of shadows and you know it looks perfectly fine for your one frame of high-res render that you did for reference, then if you're just trying to preview an animation, go ahead and change your shadow maps way, way down to 250. Then do your renders.
That way you'll see whether shadows are supposed to be falling, but you're not wasting extra time waiting for a full-res render when the animation hasn't been approved yet. So back under our Comp Settings, let's go to Options and change this. Just so you can see it, we'll change it up to 4000. Now, obviously that would increase render time significantly, but once we go ahead and do that, now look at how sharp and crisp that shadow is. It's almost too crisp. See how I'm getting some of the jaggies there just because of the jaggedness of the type.
We'll go ahead and just change our Options right back to the comp size, but I wanted you to see that feature because it is kind of important when you're trying to just get that little extra bit of detail. The next thing I want to show you is quite a lot of fun, and it has to do with the fact that a lot of times when you create lights, you may want a light to illuminate some things in the scene but not other things. So if I zoom back out here, you can see our scene, and right now we have our spotlight that's illuminating the entire scene and then our point light is just kind of giving this slight yellow cast. Okay.
Well, let's say I want my point light to only affect the type, but I don't want it to affect the ground. Things are going to look really strange here, but what I want you do in the point layer is go over to the adjustment check box, and what this does is it changes this point light into an adjustment layer. Let's go ahead and click on that. Since it's an adjustment layer and everything in the scene is below the point light, it's still affecting everything in the scene.
But what I want it to do is affect just the type, not the ground. So this is going to look weird, but I'm going to grab the type layer and drag it below the ground. Traditionally, when you render things in After Effects and that sort of thing, I'm sure you're probably used to the traditional Photoshop workflow where--you know, whatever is on the layer above is always shown visibly above the previous layer. But since we're in three- dimensional space, this really doesn't matter. Now when we drag our point light down underneath the ground layer but above the type layer, look at what happens.
Boom, as I toggle the visibility of the point layer on and off, you can see we've just added a nice highlight to the text, but haven't affected the ground layer at all. So to further illustrate my point, let's go ahead and change the spotlight into an adjustment layer as well. Go ahead and drag the spotlight down below the ground plane and check it out. It's still illuminating the type. If we open up the options for the light by pressing AA, we can adjust the Cone Angle. As you can see, I still have my spot- light illuminating the type, but it's not illuminating the ground.
Now obviously, I can just turn that right back off, and we're back to where we started. But again, I just wanted you to know how you can isolate each individual light in the scene. Let's move the spotlight back up. And so as you can see, we've added a lot more detail to the scene just by looking at some of the finer points of using lights with adjustment layers, as well as adjusting our shadow maps under the Advanced Comp settings.

Choosing A Wife - Poem by Godfrey Rust
Choosing a wife is not exactly like choosing
a dog. Look out, naturally,
for bright eyes and well-groomed hair,
but avoid yapping and a wet
nose. Treasure, though,
absolute loyalty and the fetching of slippers
after another day's difficulties; and
choosing a wife is not exactly like choosing
a car. A sporty model, nought to sixty
in a few seconds and responsive
to skilful handling is of course rewarding,
but understand what you may have to pay
in running costs, quite apart from
the constant risk of theft—don't miss
the point, that what matters is
getting from here to there, and the journey
may be long and unpredictable; and then remark
that choosing a wife is not exactly like choosing
a house. Comfort is desirable, and room
for growth and improvement
but do not be fooled by the agent's
carefully-angled photographs;
decide instead how it will look
on a wet November evening
with the kitchen demanding a coat of paint
and the kids avoiding their homework,
and consider the work on your part
needed to make it into
the home you always hope for;
only then will you realise
choosing a wife was much more like
being chosen, and when you weigh up
what's on offer from that perspective
you will be glad that sometimes she lets love
get in the way of her otherwise
unerringly good judgment.

I had written a long letter to you discussing your interesting poem, but now it's vanished before my eyes...I have no idea why! It took me over half an hour to type it with its thoughts in response to what I found a witty poem. But remember, it can easily be reversed to a woman choosing a man. Complicated subject.

As I walked through the valley
The valley of life or the other
Dark and winded is the other alley
I couldn't foretell if I even bother
The journey is such a pang
I doubt there is enjoyment
The process is far too long
If it will only bring torment
For some it is to endure
For others it is to fulfill
For me I am rather aware
That I would rather enthrall
In either alley let us will
In either valley let us triumph (Report) Reply

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. Honesty in not so many words...
Most single people are hesitant to look online for that certain someone, but I don't think it needs to be that way. I want to make a concerted effort to find that someone. I have a positive outlook on life and I hope to find someone who's enjoying life day by day as much as I am. Currently a full time student looking to graduate by December of 2012. I have aspirations to take my Finance degree and put it to good use in the corporate world. This stems from an innate desire to be successful in life, and no money isn't everything. Living a successful life has a lot more to it for me than that. Exercise is usually a normal part of my daily routine. Whether it be going to the gym, or (my true passion) running I'm able to clear my mind a bit. Surfing and skiing have always brought me joy. For as long as I can remember my immediate family has taken annual skiing trips as well as a vacation to Hawaii. I value any time spent with my family and friends very much. Umm, I could say more...but I would rather someone find out in person and I could learn more about them!

Gear Review
Rachael Burks
great bag
- Gender: Female
I'm not someone that's perhaps as qualified as a lot of these other reviews in reviewing and testing a -20 bag. However I did just get done camping in the Andes in winter and the bag was amazing. I get super cold at night too. Mind you, temperatures never reached anything close enough to completely test the -20 claim on the bag. It was comforting to know and feel confident that I could however. I slept in the bag every night for 6 weeks--even in warm houses. it's a great size , super comfortable (I'm 5'7- bought the regular), and could be my new prized possession.
Rachael Burks
Small follow up on this review. I slept ON SNOW several times this this winter with no shelter and minimal ground mat advantage and was as warm as can be. I'm sticking with my review a year later. IT IS my most prized possession.

Iowans Show Up At Rep. King's District Office To Protest Vote To End Medicare
After a mix-up over the date of a Rep. Steve King (R-IA) town hall, a dozen protesters showed up at his Sioux City district office to voice their message anyway. ThinkProgress spoke with one of the Iowans, Ken Mertes, who said he was there to speak out against King's vote to end Medicare. "The Ryan budget picks on older Americans and poor people," Mertes argued.
Attendees also complained that there is no picture of President Obama hanging in the district office, despite it being federal space. ThinkProgress asked a staff member inside about the matter and they claimed to have never received a picture of Obama (though they had received presidential pictures in each of former President Bush's terms).
ThinkProgress originally wrote that the town hall was cancelled, when in fact it appears to have been a mix-up over dates. King's website lists the August 30 Sioux City town hall on its website without noting the year. We have corrected the error.

Where do you guys possibly see these 3 starting the season at?????
Chapman at either AAA or in Cincinnati (depending on his dominance in Spring Training), Leake in AA (then soon up to Louisville, if he dominates, someone struggles, or Chapman is sent up to Cincinnati), and Boxberger in Dayton (with a mid-season promotion to Lynchburg if he does well).
Boxberger - Lynchburg
Leake - Carolina
Chapman - somewhere between Carolina and Cincinnati. Depends on his performance this spring.
You don't think they'll throw Dayton a bone with Boxberger, especially considering how poor that team looks to be? They have in the past.
Was Boxberger invited to spring training?
Chapman - AA or AAA depending on what he needs to work on.
Leake - high A with a easy justification for AA
Boxberger - high A
It seems to me that there is no penalty in starting a pitcher too low, but there could be one in starting him too high.
From what I have read, Leake has the command to start at AA. It seems wise to me to start Chapman at Lynchburg. There will be less pressure, he can work on the art of pitching, and he can still end up in Louisville by August. Knowing nothing about Boxberger beyond his good fastball, I would lean toward starting him at Dayton.
I have read, granted it was a while back, that the organization already had Leake starting here at AA Carolina. I think that makes sense.
I could see Chapman getting a few starts here as well and then being in Louisville mid May or so. I do not want to see Chapman's timetable dictated by successes or failures by the current starters slated for the major league level now.
I'll go with Boxberger being in Lynchburg to start and in Carolina around mid season.
Who are players I am damn excited to see play in Cincy?
I know it has been mentioned that Chapman has a clean arm - almost no wear and tear that we've seen other Cuban defector pitchers have - but do we know how many innings he's thrown the past couple of years? For example, we don't want him going from say 90ip to 180ip if he starts from day 1 in Cincy.
So if that is the case, he really shouldn't be starting the season in Cincy unless they plan to shut him down in August or pitch him out of the bullpen at some point.Quote:
Yes. He pitched something in the range of 120 in his last season in Cuba. Which means he shouldn't be pushed past about 150 this year.

Locust Grove Mayor Lorene Lindsey has been honored by her peers.Officials in the City of Stockbridge hosted members of the Georgia Municipal Association, the Atlanta Regional Commission, state lawmakers and other state, and federal dignitaries at the Eagles Landing Country Club, Tuesday night, in Stockbridge. Ostensibly, they came to get updates on governmental matters, such as the issue of transportation in the Southern Crescent area and the upcoming regional sales tax vote, but they also came to say good-bye, and pay tribute to one of the more respected mayors in the area, who announced, this summer, she would not seek re-election. She was honored with accolades and a cake. "She has been a force to be reckoned with," said Elizabeth "BJ" Mathis, Henry County Commission Chairman, who presented Lindsey with a proclamation. Lindsey also got one from McDonough Mayor Billy Copeland. "She gives me spoonfuls of knowledge," said Stockbridge Councilman Mark Alarcon. "There comes a time of the changing of the guards," said Henry County Commissioner Warren Holder. "Jake [Lindsey's deceased husband] and Lorene had no children ... they carried a group of boys to play baseball in Ola," said Holder. "Those are times we won't ever forget. Now, she talks to me like she thinks I'm still a little boy. She would tell me to sit down, and shut up. We're going to miss you." Henry County Commissioner Fred Auletta told the group, "She did not tell me to sit down and shut, she told me to grow up." Back in 2008, Lindsey, now 89, said she had heart bypass surgery. The doctor, she said, told her she had the heart of a 16-year-old. "I said I wish my other parts were just as young," she recalled. "For the last 30 years, I've never said, 'no,' except to one group, and that was the United Way," said Lindsey, who is known for her volunteerism. "But, when I became mayor, I joined them, and I've been with them for 12 years." Lindsey reiterated her desire to continue to work with the United Way, Connecting Henry, and Meals on Wheels. Discussion of her benevolence led to a joke by Locust Grove Mayor Pro Tempore Otis Hammock. "She's always been helping folks," he said. "Back in 1956, I messed up the soles of my shoes, and ... they were going flip-flop. I stopped in her store, and she was asking me what's wrong with my shoes. She pulled out a wad of money that could choke a horse. I saw her reach over, and peel off three rubber bands around her money," he said, "and she wrapped those rubber bands around my shoes." The audience roared with laughter. "I still have that wad of money, too," joked the mayor. Lindsey announced months ago that she was retiring from politics this summer. Afterward, she recommend a successor –– Locust Grove Councilman Robert Price, who is running unopposed in the Nov. 8 municipal elections. Tuesday's recognition was just one of a long list of honors for Lindsey during her public-service career. She has been in office since she won her first mayoral race in 1999. At that time, she was married. Her husband, Jake, died Feb. 10, 2002. The couple owned and operated Lindsey's Supermarket for 39 years. She also worked for the federal government for 36 years, at Fort Gillem, in Forest Park. It was not until she won that first mayoral election, Lindsey said, that she learned she was the first female mayor of Locust Grove.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by fpj9 Cute I got this in white. Because of the tie in back you can adjust it to hang high or low in front. It is a shorter tank, falling to my natural waist (long torso). I'm 34B and ordered the small. The med may have given me more length,(5'8) but the small works just fine. I said tts because the small fits me just right in the chest, and although adjustable, I think if you are bigger chested than me (depending on your height and build) you may want to go up to a med. It's very cute and I wore it w/the crochet racer back bra - the tie's in back fall below the bra line, so whatever you wear underneath is going to show. 6.13.2014

Ramin Bahrani's first documentary short, including an interview with the director.
"Crossroads" borrows so freely and is a reminder of so many other movies that it's a little startling, at the end, to realize how effective the movie is and how original it manages to feel despite all the plunderings. The movie stars Ralph Macchio as a bright teenager who studied classical guitar at Julliard and worships as his heroes the great old blues musicians of the 1930s and 1940s. One day he tracks down a survivor of that era, a harmonica player named Willie Brown (Joe Seneca), in a nursing home. Macchio helps him escape, and they hit the road, hoboing their way down South to a crossroads where Seneca once made a deal with the devil.
With the devil? You bet. "Crossroads" is a cheerful cross between a slice of life and a supernatural fable. And at the end, it's up to the kid to pick up his guitar and outplay the devil's man, to save Seneca's soul. This story is a combination of no less than two reliable genres.
It borrows, obviously, from Macchio's movie, "The Karate Kid" (1984), which also was the story of a young man's apprenticeship with an older master. It also borrows from the countless movies in which everything depends on who wins the big fight, match, game or duel in the last scene. The notion of the showdown with the devil may have been suggested by the country song "Devil Went Down to Georgia." And yet the remarkable thing is how fresh all this material seems, and how entertaining it is. Just when I'm ready to despair of a movie coming up with a fresh plot, a movie like "Crossroads" comes along to remind me that acting, writing and direction can redeem any plot and make any story new. The foundation for "Crossroads" is the relationship between the boy and the old man, and here we have two performances that are well-suited to one another.
Macchio, again as in "The Karate Kid," has an unstudied, natural charm. A lot of young actors seem to take themselves seriously, but not many have Macchio's gift of seeming to take other things seriously. We really believe, in this movie, that he is a fanatic about the blues, and has read all the books and listened to all the records.
Seneca does a terrific job as a rock-solid, conniving, no-nonsense old man who doesn't take this kid seriously at first, and uses him as a way to get out of the nursing home and back down South to the crossroads, where he has a long-standing rendezvous. The kid knows that Willie was a partner of the legendary blues musician Robert Johnson and he makes a deal with the old man. He'll help him return to that crossroads if the old man will teach him a lost Johnson song.
Along the way, the two men pick up a third partner, a tough young runaway named Frances (Jami Gertz), and there is a brief, sweet romance between the two young people before she leaves one morning, perhaps because it is better for the old man and the young one to move on to their mutual destiny. Gertz is a newcomer; this is her second major movie this year, after a somewhat thankless role in "Quicksilver," in which she worked for a bicycle messenger service. She's just right for this movie, with the toughness required by the character, and yet with the tenderness and the romantic notes that remind us that this is really a myth. Another good performance in the movie is by Joe Morton, who played "The Brother from Another Planet," and this time is the devil's assistant, sinister and ingratiating.
The film was directed by Walter Hill, who specializes in myths, in movie characters who seem to represent something greater than themselves. Detailed character studies are not his strong point; he makes movies such as "The Warriors," "48 HRS." and "Streets of Fire," in which the characters seem made out of the stuff of legend. In "48 HRS.," though, he also found the human qualities in the Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy characters, and he does that again this time, making Seneca and Macchio so individual, so particular, that we aren't always thinking that this movie is really about an old man and a boy and the devil.
A word about the music. Ry Cooder did most of the soundtrack, drawing from many blues sources, and the movie is wonderful to listen to: confident and sly and not all tricked up for Hollywood. The closing scene, the dueling guitars, presents a challenge that perhaps no film composer could quite solve (what's the right approach to music as a weapon?), but somehow Cooder actually does pull off the final showdown.

In moments of indiscretion, some people have referred to me as a number cruncher. I understand. For non-finance folks, it's easy to have the perception that those of us who work in nonprofit finance spend our days poring over formulas and spreadsheets (which, let's be honest, is partially true). But the reality is, our passion for this work is driven by the missions of the nonprofits we serve and the broader causes they're supporting.
When nonprofit organizations complete the IRS 990, the standard federal reporting requirement for nonprofit organizations, most probably aren't thinking about how they will use the form. The 990 is essentially a compliance document, explaining to the IRS the mission, governance, program activities and financial situation of an organization for the prior year. The IRS uses the form to not only make sure the organization still exists, but also to check to see that the organization is meeting the rules for charities, and basically doing the things that it said it would do.
Imagine this budget planning conversation at a human services nonprofit:
"The county wants to expand our contract! Isn't that great?"
"The county wants to expand our contract! Isn't that great?"
The easy answer is: Yes! We can provide more services in our community! But the smart answer is: It depends. In this example, we'd need to ask ourselves a couple financial questions:
Déjà Vu All Over Again: Nonprofit Survey Results
"It's been a rugged three years for Minnesota's nonprofits, years characterized by economic instability, management uncertainties, and fundamental shifts in a once-familiar external landscape. Still reeling from significant financial downturns, many nonprofits have used the last few years to take a long, hard look at their internal capacities and financial requirements."
The Nonprofits Assistance Fund AmeriCorps VISTA project will help culturally-based nonprofits build and strengthen financial health and stability with training, one to one guidance and counsel (technical assistance), and financing for working capital and facilities.

If you guessed the GTS 250, you'd be wrong. The HD 4870 is the faster card, regardless of the fact that it has 1/2 the memory.
Memory means nothing. The only time that video memory does anything is when the architecture supports it and is able to use it. In this case, both systems have different architectures.
Xbox360: Unified memory, less powerful CPU.
PS3: split memory, more powerful CPU.
The way I see it, the systems are that way because each company had a vision. Those visions were slightly different, and therefore, their systems were different too. I honestly can't answer those questions because I've never programmed a game for PS3 or Xbox360. What I can tell you is that both systems are a ***** to program for, and they require a lot of practice. PC is actually easier.
Hi Madpistol!
Thanks for the reply, but I think you are wrong in some parts, like when you say programming games for PC is easier. AFAIK, many or most game developers now use the same tools from the 360 to create a PC title, which in case doesn't apply for the PS3, unfortunately. So it is easier to program for the 360/PC, but extremely complex for multi-threaded PS3, which might also explain why most multiplatform games look so much worse on PS3 than on 360 (which is, not so much a hardware per hardware brute power problem, but a programming one instead). Plus, I am not sure I can agree with you when you say graphics memory doesn't mean much nowadays, since current games are demanding more and more high-def textures at such high resolutions and other dx-based effects, etc. I've heard game devs have been suffering a heck pain in the ass to fit everything in such narrow graphics memory space on this generation consoles, which has only 256/512MB for this. Take a look on the video comparison below, between PC Vs. Xbox 360 for Call Of Duty - Black Ops game: the difference is tremendous when it comes to usage of aniso, which the 360 appears to have any. Take a look also on the superior number of objects on-screen for the PC version. I believe all this is due to an increased RAM and a more modern dx-based version of course. But the biggest difference on this video is definitely the poor AF on Xbox 360 (look on the grounds), which I hate having to deal with, LOL.

An Indiana woman who died in November requested in her last will and testament that her dog Bela be buried with her. One problem: Bela is still alive.
3 prostitution arrests in Fort Pierce after message, 'I don't want beer but you can sleep with me'
FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- A call from a woman tired of her roommate bringing ladies home begat three prostitution arrests and the seizure of phones, one with a message stating, "Donkey I want to have sex with you come and I'll give you 30."
The apparent carnal caper involving condoms, cash and lingerie went down June 25 after Fort Pierce police traveled to an address in the 1100 block of Soltman Avenue, a recently released report states. A caller had said she'd grown tired of her roommate bringing women to their abode.
An arriving officer spotted George Leroy Marshall, 71, sitting in a blue Lincoln Town Car. Marshall said he didn't live there. He said he brought his niece and was waiting while she chatted with her ex-husband inside.
Police knocked on the door for about three minutes before Ignacio Diaz, 49, and 27-year-old Crystal Lynn Morine answered. Diaz's fly was down, and Morine was trying to fix her clothes.
Diaz, whose listed address is the Soltman Avenue home, said the woman was a friend who stopped by occasionally.
"I asked Diaz if they were having sex while I knocked on the door and he just smiled nervously," a report states. "He said that they had agreed on the money but that they did not have sex yet because Morine did not feel good and she had some type of bump on her back."
Morine, of the 2000 block of Southwest Morelia Lane in Port St. Lucie, said Marshall brought her to the home so she could speak with Diaz. She said she'd been there for almost three hours talking to Diaz, with whom she denied having sex.
Morine and Diaz both said a condom found in the trash would have their DNA on it.
In Morine's phone, police found messages in Spanish from "Stalker," one of which read, "Donkey I want to have sex with you come and I'll give you 30."
"Donkey" is not a common term of endearment.
A message in Spanish from "Gato," read, "I don't want beer but you can sleep with me."
Messages from others made references to pill sales and availability.
Police noticed condoms, make-up and lingerie as Morine emptied her purse. She said she had cash in her brassiere.
In a later conversation, Marshall, of the 3300 block of Metzger Road in Fort Pierce, said he thought Morine was talking to her ex-husband. Marshall said he hadn't seen Morine in 10 to 12 years.
"I, however, arrested Morine in December 2011 and Marshall was her driver at the time as well," a report states.
No further mention of the apparent bump on Morine's back was made.
The phones of Morine, Marshall and Diaz were taken into evidence. Morine and Marshall each were arrested on two prostitution-related charges, while Diaz was jailed on a single prostitution-related charge.
According to a St. Lucie County Sheriff's official, when Diaz was taken to jail, officials researched his fingerprints and determined his name is Mariano Bichardo. Bichardo is 35.
Morine initially told police she knew Diaz as "Mariano."

Lower 48+ on an XR650L
All right, the time has finally come. Im going to be taking my '02 XR650L to all the lower 48 states, and possibly more. I live in Orange County, California, and will be heading in a counter clockwise rotation. My '02 XR650L has 1,700 miles on it currently, and I'm looking to put around 20,000 miles on it by the time I'm done. I've planned on being on this trip for around 4 - 6 months. I've been wanting to do this for over a year now, and have had a great time planning it.
I have many goals for this trip including; hitting the 4 extreme corners, seeing a shuttle launch, and seeing my friend's wedding. I also want to stop and take a picture at a Honda dealer in every state. I know that some states don't have "only" Honda dealerships. So as long as there is a Honda sign then I'm good. Other than that I don't really have any other times or places to be. I do have places I want to go and people I want to see, but those are all flexible. So if anyone wants to get together and do some riding, let me know.
I've created an email for this trip for anyone who wants to contact me. People can either contact me here or PM me on this site, if you're a fellow inmate. :wink:
I'd also like to thank all my friends and family who helped make this trip possible. You all know who you are.
Good Luck!

Wayne Rooney not for sale, will remain at Manchester United
Jul 5, 2013, 11:33 AM EDT
Manchester United's new manager David Moyes addressed the media for the first-time since taking over at Old Trafford.
And it wasn't your average press conference.
Hundreds of reporters, photographers and film crews packed into the event, as Moyes' eagerly awaited first few words as United boss declared the clubs intent to keep hold of want-away striker Wayne Rooney.
"Wayne is not for sale. He is a Manchester United player and will remain a Manchester United player."
Then when asked if Rooney has asked to leave, Moyes repeatedly mentioned how well Rooney is training and dodged the question. Never stating if the England international had asked to leave the club.
Moyes added that he has had several meetings with Wayne Rooney and his representatives and hopes he will become Manchester United's record goalscorer one day.
"I see a glint in his eye. He looks happy, he looks like he will knuckle down and get himself right," Moyes said. The new United boss also commented on Rooney's form on the practice pitch. "He is training brilliantly well… I'm looking forward to working with him."
(MORE: Tuesday's Transfer Rumor Roundup: Rooney to Barca, Cavani to Chelsea)
And of course this won't be the first time Moyes has managed Rooney, with the former Everton boss nurturing England's top talent as a teenager.
"I have known Wayne since he was 16, when he was at Everton. It is a little bit of deja vu. He is training really well, he is coming back in good shape."
So will Rooney really stay at United? Or is this just a ploy by Moyes and the club to up his price in the transfer market?
Both are likely, United are certainly not going to give up one of their biggest assets easily. But Moyes did not confirm that Rooney has either asked to leave the club or stated his intent that he wants to stay at Old Trafford.
That is the big factor here, what is the point of keeping an unhappy player at the club? United may not get the anywhere near the best out of him. So should they cash in?
(MORE: Rooney may "want a fresh challenge" away from United)
But the news wasn't all about Rooney, as Moyes discussed how he plans to manager United to more success in the coming years.
"All I can do is do what David Moyes has done before. I'll continue the traditions of the club. I am very fortunate that I am taking over the champions of England and I do hope that I can do a great job here in time."
However despite all the other updates from United's new manager, the main news reverberating around the soccer world this afternoon will be that Wayne Rooney is not for sale and that Manchester United want to keep their prolific striker.
What Wayne Rooney thinks about that, well, that's another matter entirely that I'm sure will come out in the coming days and weeks.

Ted Cruz on Immigration
CRUZ: All across this country, Republicans campaigned, saying: if you elect a Republican Senate, we will stop President Obama's illegal amnesty. We need to honor what we said. We should use the constitutional checks and balances that we have to rein in the abuse of power of the executive. Step #1 is if the president implements this lawless amnesty, that the Senate will not confirm any executive or judicial nominees.
CRUZ: We should use the constitutional checks and balances that we have to rein in the abuse of power of the executive. Step #1 that I have called for is the incoming majority leader should announce if the president implements this lawless amnesty, that the Senate will not confirm any executive or judicial nominees, other than vital national security positions, for the next two years, unless and until the president ends this lawless amnesty. That is an explicit authority given to the Senate.
Q: Are you saying the Senate should refuse to confirm the president's new nominee for attorney general?
CRUZ: We have to rein in the executive. In the Federalist Papers, our Framers talked about a president who would behave like a monarch. And step #2, we've got is the power of the purse, and we should fund one at a time the critical priorities of the federal government, but also use the power of the purse to attach riders.
Both agreed that the US has failed to secure its border with Mexico, and said they oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants and the Obama administration's new directive allowing many young illegal immigrants brought to the US as children to be exempted from deportation.
Dewhurst: I have always been against an amnesty program. "If they want to be a citizen, they ought to go home and reapply."
Dewhurst says he was against tuition for children of illegal immigrants.
Ted authored a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief on behalf of 10 states in Lopez v. Gonzales, urging the strictest enforcement of laws punishing those with prior felony convictions who entered the country illegally.

Turns out in Cranbrook, tires are ridiculously expensive. $565 installed for one Dunlop D209HD!!! I almost died. When I questioned it he said "that's an expensive tire.
After looking at the invoice, they charged me $120 in labour(standard tire change, according to the service guy), charged for wheel weights that they didn't use because they couldn't balance my wheel and $365 for the tire. Add a pile in taxes and my ass is still sore.
Moral of the story, stay away from the Harley dealer in Cranbrook and don't leave for a road trip without fresh tires. Even though they appeared to have a fair bit of life left, I'm assuming the high temperatures, rough roads and some spirited riding shortened the last bit of life.
Sad to see they got you like that. I've purchased many truck tires over the years and haven't paid that much for one of them. I understand profit centers in a typical business but that seems to me to be ripping off the unexpected out of town customer. I guess they figured that you wouldn't be back so they better make what they could while you were there. I can't say you did wrong by paying, they had you bent over and they knew it. I would make sure it was known far and wide about the costs involved with that purchase. Send a letter to HD with documents too. Might not get a nickel back but the dealer will wish they had been a bit more ethical while you were there in their shop.
Hard way to go but as they said, life goes on. Like any other brand, got some good HD dealers and some, not so much.
Stay safe man..

This might take some mental power to explain BUT ... we were really excited about the Emotiv headset for monitoring brain activity so we thought "Maybe, we can train it to work as a controller with our software?" A couple of months later, we now have the ability to use our minds to guide ourselves in digital environments based on simple railed functions - forward, back, stop etc. Think about it (pardon the pun), we can let people control their movements in VR and AR without any other controllers other than their minds. We can "see" hands digitally and project them into the Virtual Space whilst listening to 3D sound around them and even interact with other "players". To put it another way, we don't need the real World any more - we've just created the real MATRIX :) Mine's a blue pill.Read more
This is a bit of an old one but we use Leap sensors to allow us to do fingertip control of 3D objects, gesture control and screen animations. In AR, we use it to allow people to control objects at events and experiential installations as well as create cool effects in the software. We also use Intel Realsense and Kinect 2 to do the same thing depending on the environment and client requirements.Read more
So... everyone knows we are an AR studio but we also love immersing ourselves in a little Virtual Reality every now and then. The problem is that vanilla VR isn't enough for us - we want experiences that you can see, feel and hear like real life - in 7D as it were. Using an Oculus Rift, we rigged up our motion board and 3D sound to one of our VR scenes take web surfing to a whole new level - riding the waves. Something still seems to be missing - has anyone got a bucket of water? This has to be seen (and felt) to be believed - the effect is stunning. This isn't just VR, this is Harmony VR.Read more
We've often been asked to show how we do avatar style AR – think Princess Leia in Star Wars being projected by R2D2. Well here is quick example of how we capture a persons movement, create a 3D model and textures and then make it all come to life – in less than 30 seconds (the video, not the work involved!)Read more

The Real Grover Norquist
Did the antitax activist tell a Spanish newspaper that the Greatest Generation was "anti-American"? Sort of.
6:18 PM, Sep 28, 2004 • By MATTHEW CONTINETTI
So, where did the AFP quote come from? It is an accurate translation into English of what appeared in El Mundo in Spanish. And it should be said that if you take something uttered in English, then translate it into Spanish, and then have a third party translate the result back into English, you are probably not going to end up with what you started with. Still, it does look like Pardo paraphrased the locquacious Norquist, and then put his paraphrases in quotes. For instance, nowhere in the interview does Norquist say members of the Greatest Generation "are the base of the Democratic Party. And they are dying." When I asked Pardo about this on Tuesday, he said simply, "that's mine."
Pardo also points out that you cannot translate "un-American" directly into Spanish. He uses the Collins English/Spanish dictionary, 1980 edition, in which "un-American"--Norquist's phrase--is translated as "antiamericano"--the word Pardo used in his El Mundo piece. Of course, all this may be a distinction without a difference: the American Heritage Dictionary defines "un-American" as "considered contrary to the institutions or principles of the United States," which sounds a lot like . . . well, "anti-American."
Correction appended. The original version of this transcript read "one side spits off" instead of "one-size-fits-all".

Opportunity and Criminal Records
We must ensure that people aren't denied a job based on a criminal history which bears no consequence on their potential as workers.
Jason Riley's "Jobless Blacks Should Cheer Background Checks" (op-ed, Aug. 23) suggests that "Ban the Box" initiatives to limit usage of criminal background checks in hiring practices are misguided in that they are a disservice to jobless blacks whom they seek to serve.
What this piece is missing is the concurrent issue of ensuring that people aren't denied a job based on a criminal history which bears no consequence on their potential as workers. In the same report cited by the editorial, "Perceived Criminality, Criminal Background Checks, and the Racial Hiring Practices of Employers" from the Journal of Law and Economics, about half (42.1%) of surveyed firms stated that they would "probably not" hire an applicant with any criminal record. Even worse, 19.5% of firms stated that they would "definitely not" hire an applicant with any criminal record.
The "National Longitudinal Survey of Youth" states that 30.2% of youth are arrested for a crime by age 23. In a criminal justice system that incarcerates more people than the Russian gulag did, forced criminal background checks present a serious threat to the productivity of millions of Americans, who, but for minor and mostly drug-related arrests, are perfectly capable workers. Given the current mindset of employers, which irrationally puts these applications in the "probably not" and "definitely not" bin, the legitimacy and need for criminal background checks needs to be seriously examined.
What we need to do is take a closer look at how we use the word "criminal" and what it really means. Otherwise millions of qualified Americans will be disqualified before they even apply.

Why is Drag Me to Hell rated PG-13?
Official MPAA Rating: Drag Me to Hell is rated PG-13 for for sequences of horror violence, terror, disturbing images and language.
Stocked with all the ingredients of a horror film, this film contains darting shadows, flapping curtains, clanging pots and the sound of heavy footsteps scraping along an upstairs floor. The soundtrack also includes screeching violins and enough sound effects to keep a whole department of employees busy. Characters are attacked, thrown over a balcony, nearly drowned, stapled in the forehead, thrown around a room and choked. An anvil falls on a woman. Characters take part in a séance. A girl is involved in a car crash. A character kills an animal with a kitchen knife. A dead body of an animal is seen. A fly crawls into a character's nose and mouth. A character spits out maggots. Blood shoots out of a character's nose. Characters drink in their home. A couple kisses. Infrequent profanities and vulgarities are used in the script.
