Customer Reviews of Samson C01U Studio Condenser USB Microphone
Product = great, Focus Camera = awful7/6/2009
The product is great and does everything it should. Beware ordering from Focus Camera, however, because their listings are misleading. The listing was for a Samson podcast pack, and all I received was the mic. Multiple attempts to contact Focus Camera went unanswered despite their claims of great customer service. Focus Camera = awful.
WARNING! The Product is not what they Pictured and6/30/2009
This review is not about the product quality - but the fact that Buy.com and focuscamera.com are misleading the potential buyers by placing a picture of a Pack - also writing in FEATURE SECTION that the product is indeed the Podcast Pack. I bought from buy.com a lot of products (worth several thousands of dollars) and I thought they are professional and they will never do cheap tricks on advertising an item and sending a lower version of it. Be aware this is ONLY the MICROPHONE - nothing else. I am very disapointed by this tactic. Of course I needed the microphone and lost 12 days waiting for all this - focus camera told me will give me refund - this is an obvious sad and pathethic trick - since the image and description in feature did not change. However, the Microphone I am sure is of exceptional quality but you need definitely the Pop Filter and the Sockmount -
High Quality and User-Friendly!!3/31/2009
I'm so happy with this microphone!!! It records high quality sound and reduces the amount of noise. When I got it, I plugged it in right into my USB port and bam, you can already start recording. It's amazing. It's also quite affordable considering what all you get with this great microphone.

Indeed, more than 1,000 people have filed complaints with the government about this same group of debt collectors, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
Because so many people complained and because they described "intimidation," "deception," "abuse" and "harassment," the FTC took action late last month, raiding the companies and charging them with five counts of violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
The FTC lawsuit names at least 30 interconnected companies, including Global and RFA, the companies Mey sued. Investigators said the heart of the vast web was a company called Asset and Capital Management Group, but that the owners deliberately set up shell companies and changed those satellite names often to throw off consumers and investigators.
Owners and managers named in the FTC suit were Thai Han, Jim Tran Phelps, Keith Hua and James Novella.
ABC News tried to reach them, but calls to their last known numbers did not go through or were not returned and they had not yet retained lawyers in the FTC matter.
Court documents alleged these debt collection companies used deception to get people to pay, including:
Claiming lawsuits were being filed against consumers.
Impersonating process servers and lawyers.
Threatening consumers with arrest and imprisonment.
Claiming they were going to seize consumers' property or wages.
That last technique was what Mey said the first RFA debt collector tried on her.
The Federal Trade Commission estimated the companies took in $140 million in revenue between 2009 and 2013 using these tactics.
A court has now allowed the FTC to freeze the companies' and individual defendants' assets.

teacher approaching summer vacation!!! :)
You know that kid in school that was the last to finish the essay test and nobody could talk until they were through? All you wanted to do was talk about which of the girls you and your friends were going to ask to skate at Roller World (please replace with your own local middle school reference) but that one girl was still writing. That girl is me. I'm great at two sided conversation, but left to my own devices I will write for far too long. If I could read previous versions of this profile on the floor of the Senate, I would hands down be the best filibuster-er ever. So for the purposes of letting you move on with your busy life, I'll keep this brief and hope you ask me out for a drink to hear the rest, or if you prefer, a slow skate to Boyz II Men. I make the most of every day, and do it with passion. I'm Sicilian, so besides the all the passion I also cook, talk with my hands, live for sunshine, have a ridiculous family including the cutest 81 year old Nana. I'm also obligated to watch the Godfather if it's on TV. That's where the Italian stereotypes end, though. No gold-chain-wearing, foul-mouthed, Jersey shore types to be found at family functions. I am a middle school history and drama teacher, and I love my job because the kids make me laugh and I'm always learning something new. You have to have a sense of humor to teach teenagers about civic duty and homo erectus :) Ask me about the time I saved a 6th grader's life. When I'm not saving lives or educating the youth of America, I manage a non-profit theater company a friend started out of college. I do mostly behind the scenes/financial/boring paperwork stuff but l've met a lot of great people and the company is getting some recognition. If you aren't into the theatre scene, that's fine. If you think Honey Boo Boo is artistic genius and would rather DIE than see a musical (come on - Book of Mormon?), we probably won't work out. Don't be scared - I also like beer and sports. I'm always planning my next travel adventure. I studied in Florence and have been back to Italy twice since. Just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas. I'm kind of a closet nerd so I like vacations where I can have my nose in a guide book, visit a museum, and check out the local history, art, and people. I also think tequila shots at the local dockside Senor Frog's and waiters bringing me drinks with little umbrellas by the beach is perfect. I'm going to wrap this up by saying I'm well rounded as far as interests go, and I'm looking for the same. If I had to check a box choosing beer at a local bar, a walk through a national park, a day at the beach, or a fancy night out, or a night in watching a movie in sweats, I would have to pick all of them, as long as I had the right company. Congratulations! You've reach the end! Now write me and we can try a two-sided conversation :)

Thomas and I have discussed at some length how we each of us expects Duke's defense to perform over the remainder of the season. While both of us see defense as a major concern for this Duke squad, we have different expectations about how Coach K's defense will perform going forward. While Thomas was (and I assume still is) relatively pessimistic about Duke's chances of substantial improvement, I was somewhat more optimistic about Duke's ability to produce consistently, acceptable defensive performances. My optimism was supported by Duke's improved post defense against Arizona. It is with this optimism that I began delving through freely accessible play-by-play statistics. Unfortunately, what I found makes me somewhat less confident in Duke's ability to improve than I was previously.
It is no secret that opposing offenses have aggressively taken advantage of Duke's sub-par interior defense by attacking the paint possession after possession. Opposing coaches have said as much in post-game press conferences. However, if we were to take the opposition at its word, we might expect to find that opposing offenses were taking an outlandish number of shot attempts from inside the paint. Consider this: Excluding FTA, shot selection can be broken down very simply into 3PA, 2 point jumpers, and shots at the rim. Similarly, we could also break down shot attempts into 3's, 2's from outside the paint, and 2's from inside the paint. For now, we will stick with the former.
Although not all three shot types are equally likely to occur (which would have a distribution of 33.3% for each type), it would be surprising to see a defense give up 50% or more of its shot attempts at the rim. It is very likely that such a defense would be terrible (although not guaranteed). Fortunately, Duke's defense does not come close to approaching 50%.
Of the total shots it surrenders, Duke allows 38.0% of them to come at the rim. Above, I have provided the same information for teams commonly associated with Duke. As you can see, when compared to other elite programs, Duke does not permit an outlandish percentage of shots at the rim. Although 38.0% is on the high end, Duke is similar to Kentucky, Mich. St., and Ohio State and well below Kansas in terms of this particular measure. Clearly, Duke's porous defense cannot be simply blamed on the frequency with which the opposition gets to the rim. However, the bright red box highlights an obviously terrible fact: the opposition shoots 63.8% from the field at the rim. When measured in this way, Duke is far worse at protecting the rim than any other team I've listed. Although Duke doesn't give up an outrageous percentage of chances at the rim, when the team does get to the rim, the results are not pretty.
Interestingly, if we perform the same exercise for 3PA, we get completely different results. As highlighted by the bright green boxes, Duke surrenders the lowest percentage of 3PA (by a considerable margin) and the 2nd lowest 3P%. In terms of results, this could be considered a good thing. 3PA are possibly the most efficient shot in the game and limiting attempts is the best way to stop long distance shooting. I say that limiting attempts is the best way because Ken Pomeroy has shown pretty convincingly that defenses have little control over 3P% over time. Duke 27.0% 3P% against, while great, is likely unsustainable. This snapshot of Duke's defensive performance tells us that the opposition is taking an unusually low percentage of 3's and is making an unusually low percentage of its attempts.
So far we have 2 pieces to Duke's defensive puzzle. Teams shoot a very high percentage at the rim but do not get to the rim insanely frequently. Teams shoot a very low percentage from 3 and subsequently do not take many 3PA. Finally, we have 2PT Jumpers.
Duke gives up the 2nd highest percentage of 2PT jumpers and is in the middle of the pack in terms of FG%. Depending on the length of the jumper, you might want the opposition to take as many jumpers as possible (if you have to pick among the various shot types). Therefore, Duke's high percentage may not be such a bad thing. Similarly, Dukes FG% is pretty close to the mean. The caveat is here that it is possible that the opposition is taking very short jumpers. If that is the case, then these figures might be misleading.
Taking this all into account, we can say the following about Duke's defense: Opponents have devastated Duke at the rim, shooting nearly 64%, albeit at a somewhat reasonable frequency. On the other hand, Duke has not suffered at the 3 point line, giving up both a low percentage of attempts and a low percentage of makes. Finally, 2pt jumpers have not hurt Duke more so than they have hurt comparable teams. My instinct is to say that Duke is going to see a regression to the mean, particularly at the 3 point line. Duke simply cannot sustain a 3P% against of 27.0%. Feel free to disagree, but if so, you are going to be woefully disappointed with the 33ish% Duke sees the rest of the season. If this happens, Duke could be in a lot of trouble if the team cannot correct its various defensive flaws. This is why my skepticism concerning Duke's defense has grown. Duke's defense has been shredded while opponents have only shot 27.0% from 3. Is it really reasonable to expect this continue? I find it unlikely that Duke has some special skill that keeps long distance shots from settling at the bottom of the net.
However, Duke's over-achievement at the 3 point line might be indicative of a potential strategy that Coach K could use to correct his defense. By definition, there is a tradeoff between preventing 3PA and keeping the offense out of the paint and away from the rim. It is possible that it is worth it for Duke to back of the 3 point line, allowing a higher percentage of 3PA, while stuffing up leaks in the paint. As I said earlier, I expect that 27.0% to rise, so allowing more 3PA will come both more attempts and likely a higher percentage of makes. Normally, this result would be very, very bad. I say normally, because it is possible that Duke's interior defense is so bad (hence the 63.8% FG%) that the boost from clogging leaks to the rim will be greater in value than the loss from allowing more 3PA. Although this idea is simple and typically counterproductive, it might be the best Duke can do, apart from unilaterally knocking that 63.8% down to 50%.
In a more general sense, what I'm referring to is a type of game theory. We have two actors: the offense and the defense. The outcome of their interaction is dependent on the choices they make along the way. If Duke is actively trying to suppress 3PA, they'd be doing so at the expense of interior defense. If as a result of Duke's 3P strategy, opponents are attacking the rim and giving up decent or better 3P looks, then Duke's low 3P% against is more related to the offenses' choices than it is to Duke's defense prowess. Maybe teams have so little respect for Duke's interior that they have all but given up shooting 3's and only do so when Duke can manage to keep them out of the paint. If this is the case, that 27% tells us nothing good about Duke's offense. All of this impacts what we can expect from Duke going forward. Although I still optimistic about the team going forward, I am a little less so today.

I don't know if it is planned obsolescence, if I am buying the wrong kind of machine at the wrong stores, or if I'm just particularly hard on equipment, but it seems like I can't keep a vacuum cleaner alive for more than 3 years. I feel so terrible about it! It feels very wasteful and it makes me ashamed. I need a workhorse that can clean up massive sheds from my lab, plus everything my 4 kids track in. Do you have any ideas? Orr ideas on how to make a regular $150-$200 vacuum from Target to live longer?
We ended up buying a Dyson Animal in 2005 and it is holding up great. We love it, and we have a kid and 2 cats now, and it hasn't faltered. It is outside your price range, but I think that the more expensive vacuums just last better.

Another vote for Dyson. We got one of the animal versions way back when they first came out, years ago, and it is still going strong. I like it so much, I bought another for our cottage.

Love love love our Dyson Animal! It's the best - plus, we have a smaller home and it is sooo easy to maneuver around and under things (with the ball - you seriously just flick your wrist). It can tackle anything (usually in one pass!) and it switches between the hardwood floors and carpets super easily. It's lightweight, and has a telescopic hose and tons of attachments if you need them. I love it.
Bonus - DS loves it too, and it reclines low enough that he can push it around the house already - granted, he is a GIANT, very strong 14 mo. old, but still! I'm not discouraging this particular obsession of his, haha ;-)

Sears/kenmore vacuums have always lasted forever for me. Plus they do pretty affordable repairs
I got my second Dyson on the Woot site for less than $150 but you need to watch the site daily.
Some vaccuums are easy to get repaired, and some companies don't sell parts at all (definitely some planned obsolescense going on), but if you phone your local vacuum repair place before buying, they should be able to tell you which category the machine you're considering falls into. A lot of vacuum repair shops also sell machines if you're not too committed to buying at Target.
Get a dog... a beagle. They clean everything.
love my oreck --
Miele canister, but we have a locally owned Miele store nearby that does repairs, sells filters, etc.

I have an LG and it is great! Best vacuum I have ever owned!
Hope, check out my life at http://thethriftyqueenspeaks.com
Nothing will ever beat my kerby. I have 2. One is almost as old as me!!! My mom bought it when I was 4 (I'm 26) and its still running and works GREAT with 5 dogs worth of hair! So a grand may seem pricey, but if it lasts 20 years its totally worth it. Also, if the sales man is desprate you can really get them to come down. I got my new one 2 years ago for more than $200 off the regular price. Also they sell refurbished ones.

Another vote for Dyson. I bought mine in 2005 and it's still going strong despite daily use.
I have had a Miele for years and love it. Never any problems. Can't beat that German engineering.
We bought our Oreck nearly 12 years ago (Aug 2000) and it is still going strong! We have a business Costco nearby and they sell the bags for less than anywhere I have seen. I do not know the price of an Oreck nowadays to know if it is within your price range, but averaging it over 12 years thus far certainly needs to be taken into account, yes?
The upright came with the canister vac and a car vac at the time. They all three are still in excellent condition. In the past 12 years, we have replaced bags on the upright and canister, one power cord on the upright (although, DH may have just shortened the original cord), and two belts on the upright. We use the upright at least twice as often as the canister and probably twenty times as often as the car vac. The Oreck has handled two different cats (one puked a lot, but had short hair and was declawed -- the other is very healthy, but has long hair and sheds nails a lot, too) and one full-time child (for 11 years) and part-time other kids (babysitting co-op in the toddler stage; many play dates, parties, and sleepovers in the school age range thus far) AND, most impressively, a lot of home improvement clean-up over the years.
We got a mini shop vac about 4 years ago, but still use one of the Orecks usually. (They are more convenient.) We got a Roomba on Woot.com for $155 including shipping and absolutely loved it! For 4+ years, the Roomba did the frequent vacuuming (maybe 3 times a week) of the main areas downstairs (living room, hallway, and kitchen). We replaced the battery once via Amazon, but have refused to do so again...the batteries averaged just over two years; something to keep in mind. YMMV
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." - Mother Teresa
Another Dyson fan here. I bought mine about five years ago (I think?) and it works great. Love that it's bagless, and love that it's pretty intuitive to fix or unjam. I had to replace the extension hose recently, but it's otherwise going strong.

Michelle mom to DD , DS , & lil DD and spending my days
I absolutely LOVE our DYSON! We had cheaper ones for years and finally borrowed a friends after she raved about it. After trying it and seeing the difference, we had to save and buy it.
It's so worth every penny we spent. I believe we paid about $400 and that was about 3 years ago. It's still going strong.
Best wishes!!!
I got a Eureka at the Goodwill for $15 bucks and it's worked like a charm for many years now. Someone ditched it for some reason, despite it being in working order, so I got lucky, I guess. All it needed was a replacement filter, which I bought for $20 at the local service shop. I will second what an earlier PP said... service. If you service your vacuum cleaner regularly, and keep the filters and beaters clean, even a cheap one will last longer.

text: I was reading the "In the Parks" today and saw they mentioning of imited number of Passholder previews will be conducted prior to the June 14th media day. I started to think does that mean Disney will once again do the lottery system for lucky annual passholders to be able to preview the new land before opening. My only concern was that with Star Tours I never got notice when the site was up and running to enter my information to the lottery and my other concern is that I have a feeling a lot of annual passholders will be complaining about how they didn't get selected. I wanted to hear what everyone concerns or ideas of how this should be controlled.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Mary Bonauto discusses GLAD's view of same-sex marriage.
On April 4, 2012, oral arguments were presented before a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston in two cases challenging the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, which limits the definition of marriage for federal purposes to heterosexual couples. It is the first time the question of the constitutionality of DOMA has been considered in a federal appeals court.
The cases argued on April 4 are appeals of decisions handed down in July 2010 by U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro in Gill et al. v. Office of Personnel Management and Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. United States Department of Health and Human Services et al. Judge Tauro, a well-respected judge who has served since 1972, declared Section 3 of DOMA unconstitutional in exceptionally thorough and powerfully-written opinions.
Judge Tauro, relying heavily on such Supreme Court rulings as Romer v. Evans and Lawrence v. Texas, ruled that this section violates the Fifth Amendment's equal protection principles and the Tenth Amendment's reservation of unenumerated powers to the states.
In his opinion in the Commonwealth case, Judge Tauro pointed out that the federal government had never before not accepted a state's definition of marriage. He concluded, "This court has determined that it is clearly within the authority of the Commonwealth to recognize same-sex marriages among its residents, and to afford those individuals in same-sex marriages any benefits, rights, and privileges to which they are entitled by virtue of their marital status. The federal government, by enacting and enforcing DOMA, plainly encroaches upon the firmly entrenched province of the state, and, in doing so, offends the Tenth Amendment. For that reason, the statute is invalid."
In the Gill case, Judge Tauro found that DOMA was enacted with discriminatory intent. He concluded that even under a deferential "rational standard" review the act could not pass constitutional muster. There is, the judge wrote, "no fairly conceivable set of facts that could ground a rational relationship between DOMA" and a legitimate government interest.
He declared, "where, as here, 'there is no reason to believe that the disadvantaged class is different, in relevant respects' from a similarly situated class, this court may conclude that it is only irrational prejudice that motivates the challenged classification. As irrational prejudice plainly never constitutes a legitimate government interest, this court must hold that Section 3 of DOMA as applied to Plaintiffs violates the equal protection principles embodied in the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution."
In the two opinions, Judge Tauro addressed every argument in favor of DOMA advanced by Congress in 1996 and by the Department of Justice in 2009 and found them all implausible and irrational.
After Judge Tauro's decisions, the Department of Justice filed to appeal them in the First Circuit.
Subsequently, however, the DOJ itself reached the conclusion that DOMA is unconstitutional and declined to continue defending it in court.
On February 23, 2011, Attorney General Eric Holder informed Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner that President Obama and DOJ had determined that classifications based on sexual orientation like DOMA's Section 3 should be subject to a heightened scrutiny when examined by courts. Under this heightened scrutiny, Holder said, DOMA's federal definition of marriage should be found unconstitutional and, therefore, DOJ would no longer be defending it in court.
Following that decision, the House of Representatives Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG), on a 3-2 party-line vote, authorized the defense of DOMA in court challenges.
Consequently, on April 4, Paul Clement, representing BLAG, argued in defense of DOMA, while Stuart Delery, Acting Chief of the Department of Justice's Civil Division, argued that Section 3 of DOMA should be declared unconstitutional.
Mary Bonauto, GLAD's Civil Rights Project Director, argued for the Gill plaintiffs, while Maura Healey, of the Massachusetts' Attorney General's Office, argued on behalf of Massachusetts, that DOMA is unconstitutional.
The Appellate Court judges hearing the cases are Chief Judge Sandra Lynch, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton; Judge Michael Boudin, who was appointed by President George H. W. Bush; and Judge Juan Torruella, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.
At the hearing, the panelists listened attentively--with very few interruptions--to arguments from the attorneys.
In her presentation, Bonauto pointed out that the federal government defers to state marriage laws when distributing federal marriage protections and responsibilities. "But for DOMA," she said, "same-sex couples who began marrying here [in Massachusetts] eight years ago would have been included in those federal laws. DOMA's precise point was to prevent that inclusion and create an across the board exclusion in the U.S. Code. The promise of equal protection is that likes are to be treated alike--but DOMA treats married same-sex couples differently from all other married persons making gay people and our marriages unequal to all others."
The biggest news made at the hearing was the statement by Delery that the Obama administration would not defend DOMA on any basis, including under rational basis review.
Delery also maintained that DOMA was enacted out of animus against gay people. He said that the name "DOMA" itself indicates that the law was intended to discriminate against glbtq families.
"It was a defense against something, and that something was same-sex couples," he declared.
Clement mostly echoed the arguments previously put forward by the Department of Justice, supplemented by some National Organization for Marriage talking points about procreation as a basis for marriage.
Healey contended that DOMA violates Massachusetts's right under the Tenth Amendment to regulate marriage. She said an end to DOMA would return the federal government to "what it always has done" by recognizing state authority on which couples should be able to marry.
Healey also evoked "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" as a reason why the court should overturn DOMA.
"I'll take you to our state veterans cemeteries because here the operations of DOMA really revives the concept of separate but equal," Healy said. "In this day and age, when gay people can now go serve in the military, fight for our country and even die, unlike other married service members, they can't be buried with their spouse on state land in our veterans cemetery. Instead, Massachusetts is essentially required to build on the next hillside over a cemetery for those veterans. We think that's wrong."
As Chief Judge Sandra Lynch said at the close of the hearing--after praising the "superb arguments" delivered by both sides: "We've learned a lot."
For more background on the cases and the arguments presented on April 4, see Chris Geidner's useful guide to the issues in the cases in MetroWeekly. His account of the hearing itself may be found here. Chris Johnson also summarizes the arguments in the Washington Blade.
Other information may be found on GLAD's website.
An audio recording of the arguments presented on April 4 is available on the website of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, although, due to an equipment malfunction, the first 18 minutes or argument were not captured.

Originally written on AFC East Daily | Last updated 4/30/13
The Miami Dolphins didn't address offensive tackle in their free agency splurge and opted to veer from the position in the first couple rounds of the draft despite the significant void left by Jake Long's departure. Their search, however, hasn't ended.According to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, the Dolphins are hosting former Atlanta Falcons tackle Tyson Clabo Tuesday, a day after courting ex-Baltimore Raven Bryant McKinnie.Clabo is widely considered the best available free agent right tackle.Miami lost Long, a former All-Pro left tackle, to free agency, and it has yet to solidify his replacement. As of now, its best option is second-year tackle Jonathan Martin, who started last season on the right side but slid all the way left when Long went down to injury.The Dolphins would prefer Martin at right tackle, as they've tinkered with the idea of acquiring free agent Eric Winston and Kansas City Chiefs' Branden Albert. Miami also drafted Tennessee tackle Dallas Thomas in the third round...

I've talked about realism and the Uncanny Valley in the past plenty of times, and always as a skeptic. Today I may have to change my opinion.
Before we begin, a quick definition:
The Uncanny Valley is a concept used in both robotics/AI and computer graphics. The theory posits that the closer we get to realism in graphics—to a human face, for instance, that looks like it was filmed rather than programmed—and the closer we come to human-like intelligence in robots, the more perturbed these creations will make us.
We begin to feel repulsed by the small details that still aren't quite human, that jar us back and forth between the manufactured and the illusion of reality—by those haunting, inhuman eyes in the recent animated Beowulf film, for instance.
Today, Polish developer CD Projekt RED released a cinematic trailer for their upcoming RPG The Witcher 3 that, at first blush, I thought was live-action.
On closer examination, the fact that this is CGI becomes much more apparent, but for a moment there—when the woman's face (pictured above) first comes onscreen—I thought it was real.
Granted, this is not gameplay footage. It's an in-game cinematic. But it's brilliant and, despite its fantasy trappings, some of the most lifelike computer animation I've ever seen.
It's also extremely dark and powerful and violent and not at all appropriate for children:
"What are you doing?" the soldier asks Geralt of Rivia as the Witcher bends over him.
"Killing monsters," Geralt replies, with the briefest of pauses between the two words, driving home the meaning of each and the two together as fiercely as he drives the dagger down.
Now the twist here, of course, is that Geralt is a monster-hunter. That's what he does. He's a mercenary whose expertise and magic make him the perfect slayer of trolls and vampires and other horrors.
But the real monsters are often just people. Murderers, rapists, politicians out for blood and power, scheming sorceresses.
"Evil is evil," the Witcher says. "Lesser, greater, middling…makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary. The definition's blurred. If I'm to choose between one evil and another, I'd rather not choose at all."
I'm often not a fan of non-gameplay trailers, but this gave me chills, made me wince, made me hungry for The Witcher 3 which launches in 2014 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
"Actions speak louder than words. We wanted this short movie to communicate that Geralt, despite being seen as a sellsword by many, has his own code of conduct and operates outside of the dirty morality of the world he lives in," said Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED.
"Killing Monsters was a great opportunity to show the ambience of No Man's Land – one of the vast areas in the game that the players will visit during their adventure. The overwhelming feeling of despair can be quite shocking, especially when you consider who the real monster is," Badowski added.
And, like I said up above, it's perhaps the first time that I've really thought to myself that yes, we can cross the Uncanny Valley. We can create extraordinary computer graphics that plunge us into a world that looks so very like our own, but isn't, and not walk away unsettled—or not anymore unsettled than the subject matter demands.
The gameplay itself won't look this good anytime soon, but the next generation of consoles, and the graphics we may see on PC in just a few years, may very well look just like this in real-time.
Of course, it's no surprise that CD Projekt RED should lead the way. The Witcher 2 is still one of the most incredible looking games ever made, and The Witcher 3 will almost certainly push us even further.
For old time's sake, here's the opening cinematic for The Witcher 2—still one of the best video game cinematics I've ever seen:

it will be fun to follow Chip Kelly and his adventure
Yes the odds aren't in his favor But If what Ive heard is true chip always wanted to see what It might be like to coach in the NFL??? now ?? drum rolll??? hes in it!
and it will be fun to watch and stay in touch and see what this greatttt College coach can do in the what baseball folk call The BIg leagues!
Even when he gets all his coaches selected and his players???? IM not sure he can fly, as he did here in Eugene,Oregon.
Aww yes you better know the expectations are higher than any mountain, are you kddin me??? look at his record in college ????
but lets give him a chance...Yes I can see the fans pouncing on him like a helpless deer????
lets cross that bridge when we get there as my buddy always says...
this is why I dont gamble??? I sit down and be fore I put in the money?? my head is telling me im already a winner?? like it or not chip kelly unless he knows something we dont??? is going to lose football games as a coach .
ewwww that stung just typing it.
ask the college coaches who were in Kellys seat Now?? not all that long ago?? names like Spurrier, Brooks, Petrino?? yea they thought??? and so does Coach Kelly...
Im only saying it is going to be fun to watch and see....
You gotta start somewhere.
i've never said I hope he fails....Im from Eugene ,Oregon ive seen this coach , coach and mold amd make men out of these kids, now with the overpayed??? and what??? some are making more than the coach????? it will be very fun and interesting to watch~~
I would think Chip Kelly has about two seasons to show improvement. If he doesn't he will be on the hot seat. That's if he doesn't bail on the Eagles like all the other college guys seem to do, but with those sanctions coming down maybe he does with to make something out of the NFL. Unlike Spurrier , Chip Kelly actually believes in practice.
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
you said an interesting word "Bail" didnt he do that to the University Of Oregon ?? when he said he was back??? then it was off to the NFL????? I call that, when I lost my respect for him...No not because Im an Oregon football fan I say that because its true!
and I say it again you guys better hold on to HIM tight?? why?? he may change his mind again....My joke was when he arrived in philly someone should have had his contract and tossed it at him saying heres your contract sign it before you change your mind@!!!!! and that may not be a a joke!

Anti-Ache Herbal Pain Relief Creme
I bought Anti-Ache Herbal Pain Relief Creme by Derma E for my husband that works long and hard outside all day. When he comes home he begs for back/neck/leg massages because he is in so much pain but there is only so much my hands can do to relieve the pain. I bought Anti-Ache Herbal Pain Relief Creme in hopes that it could help and it did! I wasn't pleasantly surprised at how well the product worked and how fast!
I love the smell & how well it works!
I have no cons about Anti-Ache Herbal Pain Relief Creme.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Justh & Hunter 50.50 Ounce Gold IngotJusth & Hunter Gold Ingot. 50.50 Ounces. The California Gold Rush attracted individuals of many motivations and nationalities. A number of the Europeans who came to California at that time were refugees or exiles; in 1848, the same year gold was discovered in California, a series of revolts and revolutions struck European nations, with France, the German and Italian states (which had not yet unified), and parts of the Austrian Empire (most notably Hungary) affected. The case of the Hungarians is particularly relevant to the study of Territorial gold and assayers' ingots; without the turmoil and exile encountered by various Hungarian revolutionaries, there would be no Wass, no Molitor, no Justh (of Justh and Hunter).
Ex: S.S. Central America
Ex: S.S. Central America
Of course, numerous Americans also traveled to California. According to documents reprinted in California Coiners and Assayers by Dan Owens, Solomon Hillen Hunter traveled from Baltimore, Maryland to California in 1855, making the Atlantic leg of the trip on a ship named the S.S. George Law; in a touch of grotesque irony, that ship, renamed the S.S. Central America, sank in October 1857 with a number of assayers' ingots on board, including this one.
Like many assay offices' pairings, the firm Justh & Hunter made for a bit of an odd couple; Justh had been in California five years and had just left the employ of the U.S. Mint in San Francisco, while Hunter was fresh off the boat. Yet their partnership lasted a little more than three years, including the fateful year of 1857, when a shipwreck inadvertently preserved their legacy for future generations.
The firm of Justh & Hunter was little known before the salvage of the S.S. Central America. That changed radically once this fabulous treasure was brought to the surface. There were 86 ingots salvaged from this assayer. This is a medium-sized ingot, even though 50.5 ounces is still quite hefty. Justh ingots range from a low of 5.24 ounces to a whopping 866.19 ounces. This rectangular piece is imprinted on the top side: NO. 4335 / JUSTH & HUNTER / 50.50 OZS. / 883 FINE. / $921.78. The sides show no imprinting, and the back has the batch number 35 at the top left. Two assay chips are out of opposite corners, as usually seen. The surfaces are orange-gold and show the normal depressions and gas bubbles inherent in the casting process. The ingot measures 43x74x24 mm. (PCGS# 10361)

Salk News
Salk Institute scientist Geoff Wahl named President-elect of world's largest cancer research organization
La Jolla, CA – Geoffrey M. Wahl, Ph.D., professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, recently was elected the 2006-07 president of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the world's oldest and largest professional organization dedicated to accelerating scientific progress to prevent and cure cancer.read more >>
Deadly infectious entity of prions discovered
La Jolla, CA – The mysterious, highly infectious prions, which cause the severe destruction of the brain that characterizes 'mad cow disease' and several human brain degenerative disorders, can be rendered harmless in the laboratory by a slight alternation of the three-dimensional conformation or shape of the prion protein's structure.read more >>
Several minute intermediate stage in virus-cell fusion discovered; possible window of opportunity for drug development
La Jolla, CA – To ignite a life-threatening infection in the body, a virus such as HIV invades body cells by first merging, or fusing, with the cell's outer membrane. Once inside the cell, the invading microbe's genetic material takes over, turning the 'host' cell into a factory to produce more copies of the virus, which then spill out to invade other cells in the body.read more >>
Developing nervous system sculpted by opposing chemical messengers
La Jolla, CA – A newborn baby moves, breathes and cries in part because a network of nerves called motor neurons carry signals from the infant's brain and spinal cord to muscles throughout its body.read more >>
The ultimate spa: embryonic body wash controls left-right development
La Jolla, CA – Humans and other animals may appear to be symmetrical on the outside, but symmetry is only skin deep. Many body organs, such as the stomach, the heart and the liver, are tipped to the right or left side. So how does the developing embryo distinguish left from right? Salk scientists have now discovered that the foundations for the basic left-right body plan are laid by a microscopic 'pump' on the outer surface of the embryo's underside that wafts chemical messengers over to the left side of the body. This sets up a chemical concentration gradient that tells stem cells how and where to develop. The remarkable findings, including movie footage of the 'pump,' are published in the May 20th edition of the journal Cell.read more >>
Unrestrained retina too much of a good thing
La Jolla, CA – When primitive nerve cells begin forming an eye in the mouse embryo, they are programmed to build a retina. But the ability to see depends upon connecting the retina to the brain via the optic nerve. Unless these embryonic cells are given the right cue at the right time, they mistakenly form a huge eye that consists entirely of retina and lacks the optic nerve.read more >>
Vitamin A's paradoxical role in influencing symmetry during embryonic development revealed by Salk Institute scientists
La Jolla, CA – In this week's journal Nature, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies report that they have solved one of the 'holy grail' puzzles of developmental biology: the existence of a mechanism that insures that the exterior of our bodies is symmetrical while inner organs are arranged asymmetrically.read more >>
Salk scientist Rusty Gage elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences; Awardees also include sculptor, actor and Supreme Court Chief Justice
La Jolla, CA – Fred H. "Rusty" Gage, Ph.D., whose basic research at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies has advanced scientific understanding about the potential of the adult brain and nervous system to repair itself, has been elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a distinction awarded annually to top individuals in business, government, public affairs, the arts and popular culture as well as biomedical research.read more >>
In mice, walking (and running) depends on nerve cell chatter during development
La Jolla, CA – The ability of a pair of legs to walk in a stepwise fashion with each other appears to be set up during a brief period as an embryo's spine develops, when a single neurotransmitter takes its turn to "talk" to nerve cells.read more >>
Molecular 'zipcode' guides nerves to correct places in body
La Jolla, CA – During embryonic development, thousands of nerves must be connected to muscles as part of a communication network that allows the newborn to move, breathe and lead a normal life. The question is, how does this complicated 'telephone system' get wired up?read more >>
