standard horror fare that i guess gets points for self-awareness. still, no amount of dodging criticism via crying satire can erase that this is just a series of tension building and release exercises dotted with some very problematic elements, chief of which is the wholly unnecessary rape scene early on that soured my entire experience. aesthetics were decent enough to avoid complete derision on my part, i guess
Funny , Gore , A true horror hommage , And MAN , that camera work , Chapeau !
saw this on the big screen last night. While seeing it on the big screen did enhance my appreciation of some of the formal inventiveness on display, it also magnified a lot of the movie's flaws. Army of Darkness is just a great comedy, but Evil Dead II is an absolute masterpiece. The Evil Dead is inventive, influential, and fun, but little else. Frankly, I think the remake/sequel/revision of 2013 was superior.
so that's how they make bath salts.
Bruce Campbell is the master.
crazy cameras and eerie eyes
Adoro The Evil Dead, ma ammetto che non è un film particolarmente virtuoso, al contrario, è brutto, sporco e sbavato, ed è probabilmente per questo che mi piace! Merita un voto basso, ma in questo caso, una stella assume stranamente un senso positivo. C'erano le idee, c'era la passione, c'era il coraggio, un talento non ancora maturo: questo non basta a fare un bel film, ma è più che sufficiente per fare un cult.
Double viewings eliciting revelations; the unlikely and unplanned pairing of The Gauntlet and The Evil Dead ushered riches. Essentially an epic purge, Bruce Campbell run through every apparatus of film school gimmicks, fake blood, and cheap gore. Everything that could be a flaw is instead a virtue; endless showy camera tricks congeal into something deeply elemental. Fun and exhausting in the best of ways. Fake blood wouldn't be this evocative again until Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning.
Un horror a bassissimo costo che risulta un capolavoro di originalità, diventato giustamente un cult. Raimi mostra tutto il suo talento, esaltando con una regia grandiosa una trama semplicissima,quasi nulla.Le inquadrature,il montaggio, gli stacchi e le zoommate vertiginose,i carrelli tra le porte:tutto crea una incredibile messa in scena che genera una suspence che dura fino alla fine.Carnale ed emozionante.4*
immer noch einer der effektivsten horrorfilme - mal schauen, wie sich das remake machen wird
Low budget done right. Excellent camera work. Not much of a horror fan myself, but this is certainly more interesting than most of the lot if only for the indie flair.
Like many I found this film on video circa '85 and realized that this was something special. It was a breath of fresh air to the video nasties and slasher pics predominant at the time. The sometimes cheesy effects took away from the horror but was more than made up for by cinematic flourish and the filmmaker's earnesty. Plus it gave birth to the two great films to follow. Watching now still stands up as great horror.

palsy robbed Kara Johansen not only of her ability to walk
but also of her ability to speakconventionally, that
is. When FRONTIERS first met her in 1993, twelve-year-old
Kara still managed to make her passion to communicate unmistakably
clear. Using an alphabet board held up by her mother, Kara
focused her gaze at the board to spell out words one letter
at a time. Her family became skilled at translating her eye
movements, and even Alan found he was able to communicate
with Kara after a bit of practice.
when Kara's older sister left for boarding school, Kara needed
a way to extend her skills to the telephone. During another
visit with Alan two years later, she demonstrated her latest
tool. An infrared eye-tracking system designed by Boston's
Children's Hospital was able to translate her eye movements
into letters and words. With the help of a voice synthesizer,
Kara was finally free to use the telephone in private.
"Finding Her Voice," FRONTIERS meets up with Kara again. As
independent as ever, she's trying out yet another speaking
devicea laptop mounted with a camera. Rather than tracking
her gaze, the camera follows her head movements by homing
in on a small dot Kara wears on her forehead. Using her head
to move the cursor, she "types" on the onscreen keyboard.
Then as before, a voice synthesizer reads her message aloud.
Sadly, Kara lost her mother to cancer in 1994. But as she
tells Alan, her mother's words of encouragement help her push
forward no matter what the odds in her quest to do whatever
and be whomever she wants.

Despite losing out in the Race to the Top competition a week ago, New Jersey will be seeing some education funding after all.
Federal education officials announced that seven states that did not win education improvement funding last year will share almost $200 million because they had all been finalists in earlier rounds of Race to the Top.
According to an Associated Press report in the Press of Atlantic City, New Jersey received $37.9 million. States in the competition proposed to improve principal and teacher evaluation programs, and showed plans for improving their science, technology, and math instruction.
New Jersey's funding was to be used to improve teachers' professional development, fund districts participating in the programs, and to design new academic standards.
"Over the past month, we have heard support from districts across the state for this type of model curriculum to ensure that the Common Core State Standards move from a concept in Trenton to a tool for every classroom," Chris Cerf, New Jersey's acting education commissioner, said in a statement, according to the Huffington Post.
But New Jersey Education Association spokesman Steve Wollmer called the funding "less than a drop in the bucket." According to NJ.com, he said, "It eludes me how this will have a lasting impact."
The New York Times reported that Florida and New York were each awarded $700 million in last year's competition. Hawaii received a $75 million grant, but recently got a letter from the federal Education Department warning that it may lose its Race to the Top grant if it does not show educational improvement.
Race to the Top is set to continue in 2012. It will have $500 million more in funds, and school districts will also be invited into the competition.

Kim Dotcom unveils new music service called Baboom
As a heavy Spotify user, it's going to be very hard to make me, and millions of other Spotify, Pandora, or other music streaming service users change, but Kim Dotcom hopes we will with his new music service, Baboom.
Baboom is still months away from a public release, but it's yet another service in the constantly growing line of services from Mega founder, Kim Dotcom. Baboom is currently being prepared for a public launch, which will launch at Baboom.com. Dotcom has said that he's secured several million dollars in funding for Baboom, and has 22 developers working on it.
Dotcom believes that Baboom will revolutionize the music industry, handing over the power to artists once again. Dotcom told TorrentFreak: "I am really excited about Baboom. I can't wait for artists to see what i have created for them. Their entire career can be managed on Baboom. Artists never had more freedom, transparency and control."

Skype is developing 3-D video calls, says launch is years away
It appears that Skype wants to make your video chats a little more realistic. In a recent interview with the BBC, a senior executive at Skype confirmed that the company has been developing 3-D video call technology. Mark Gillett, Microsoft's corporate vice President for Skype, said that the company had been working on the R&D side of things in its laboratories.
He said that the company has been studying the capability of 3-D screens as well as 3-D capture devices, but said that "the capture devices are not there yet" in terms of consumer viability. He said that they've already managed to get 3-D video calls working in the lab, but for the moment, the lack of a 3-D video standard for devices is the major obstacle.
"As we work with that kind of technology, you have to add multiple cameras to your computer, precisely calibrate them, and point them at the right angle," he explains. He went on to say that Skype will likely offer 1080p HD video calls to more devices than just the upcoming Xbox One.
Score one for innovation: New Zealand bans software patents
In what can only be described as a win for humanity, the New Zealand government today passed a new Patents Bill that effectively makes patenting software illegal. In what many are calling a major victory for innovation, the bill was passed earlier this week after more than five years of debate and intensive lobbying for multinational software vendors.
New Zealand's Minister of commerce Craig Foss openly welcomed the updated Patents Bill and said that it marked a "significant step towards driving innovation in New Zealand." He went on to say: "By clarifying the definition of what can be patented, we are giving New Zealand businesses more flexibility to adapt and improve existing inventions, while continuing to protect genuine innovations,"
The bill passed by a unanimous vote and was praised by the Institute of IT Professionals. Its chief executive, Paul Matthews, had the following to say: "The patents system doesn't work for software because it is almost impossible for genuine technology companies to create new software without breaching some of the hundreds of thousands of software patents that exist, often for very obvious work... Today's historic legislation will support our innovative technology industry, and sends a clear message to the rest of the world that New Zealand won't tolerate the vexatious practice of 'patent trolls'"
Flash Memory Summit 2013 - OCZ's Allon Cohen on enterprise SSDs
Flash Memory Summit 2013 - Earlier this week, we had the chance to talk with OCZ's Allon Cohen about the company's software and hardware for the enterprise SSD market.
Cohen said that since being acquired by OCZ, SANRAD has had the opportunity to take a look at the entire data path from the time it is requested by the application until it gets stored in the flash.
He said that their software has added on top of this, another element that will make policy based decisions on what data should be stored into the flash, which helps provide their end users a much more efficient and better performing solution.

AMD: NVIDIA's CUDA and PhysX are 'doomed'
According to AMD's Vice President of Channel Sales, Roy Taylor, NVIDIA's CUDA and PhysX platforms are an utter failure. How does he get to that conclusion? Because the industry doesn't like proprietary standards.
Taylor continued: "NVIDIA should be congratulated for its invention. As a trend, GPGPU is absolutely fantastic and fabulous. But that was then, this is now. Now, collectively our industry doesn't want a proprietary standard. That's why people are migrating to OpenCL." The AMD VP says that Intel will continue adding more GPU to their die.
Taylor said that with Intel's Sandy Bridge platform, 17% of the die was GPU. Ivy Bridge notched that up to 27%, and Haswell sees 32% of its die reserved for GPU silicon. He thinks that Intel will eventually use the term APU, but not for a little while yet. He adds: "We think the reason they're doing that is because of GPGPU. It's not because of games. I think they see that HSA is an absolutely unstoppable force. I just don't know why they don't call [Haswell] an APU... it seems just like pride. If you remember [ATI] tried to join the coin term VPU... 'No, no, no, it's a VPU not a GPU,' they would say. GPU just became widely adopted they just quietly adopted it, and I believe Intel will do the same. Look [Intel] it's an APU, why are you protesting?"

AMD release Catalyst 13.8 Beta drivers, fixes frame latency issues
AMD have been promising a huge driver update for a little while now, and before we receive this new wonder driver, AMD have released the Catalyst 13.8 Beta drivers.
The new AMD Catalyst 13.8 Beta drivers fix the frame latency issues that are apparent on Graphics CoreNext (GCN) GPUs, meaning micro-stuttering issues with CrossFire configurations should see some big improvements. The driver also includes a fix that ensures frames generated by member GPUs of a CrossFire configuration are displayed in an even and regular pace.
AMD have also provided full support for the OpenGL 4.3 API in the latest Catalyst 13.8 Beta drivers. Once you've downloaded them, you can create application profiles within Catalyst Control Center for OpenGL applications, with CAP updates now pushed out for such apps.
Spotify joins forces with Official Comedy for the good of comedy
Spotify are now working with YouTube channel Official Comedy, where they've launched an app that collects content into a large comedy audio library for your pleasure.
The new app features stand-up specials from comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, Aziz Ansari, Louis C.K., Mike Birbiglia, George Carlin, Margaret Cho and Kevin. I didn't know who or what Official Comedy was until today, but they're a division of new media and entertainment company Bedrocket Media Ventures. Spotify's Chief Content Officer, Ken Parks, said in a statement: "The Official Comedy app on Spotify gives our users access to a customized comedy experience that is just as extensive as our music experience."
Spotify's new comedy-themed app is curated and edited by Official Comedy, who provide playlists that are based on specific themes. The app will also be updated regularly and will feature new comedians and playlists. Upon launch of the new Spotify app, there are a bunch of other comedians included: Hannibal Buress, Bill Cosby, Ellen DeGeneres, Jim Gaffigan, Artie Lange, Steve Martin, Patton Oswalt, Monty Python, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman and Daniel Tosh.
Apple updates Final Cut Pro X to 10.0.9
Today, Apple began pushing out an update that will bring its Final Cut Pro X software up to version 10.0.9. The new update addresses several issues that result in green artifacts when using Sony XAVC media and issues related to interlaced media and retimed segments that have been causing exports to fail.
Also included in the update are several unnamed stability fixes which we can assume fix issues with other file formats. The update is significant at 1.64GB and can be downloaded via the software's built in update tool. This is the first update since 10.0.8 which was released back in March and included several feature enhancements in a move to hopefully lure back many of the pros that jumped ship to Adobe's Premiere Pro when Final Cut Pro 10 was released.

ASUS ROG unveils RAIDR Express PCIe-based SSD
Today, ASUS ROG launched the first PCIe-based SSD in the world that works with either Legacy or Modern UEFI BIOS. The RAIDR Express is geared towards hardcore gamers and PC enthusiasts who demand nothing but the best performance possible for their PC. ASUS says that the new PCIe-based SSD combines the best compatibility with incredible performance and durability.
We have seen many other PCIe-based SSDs, but what makes the RAIDR Express so unique is a hardware switch that allows users to switch to either Legacy BIOS or use the more modern UEFI BIOS that is found on more modern high-end motherboards. The switching is made possible because ASUS has included dual BIOS chips on the board, something that has never been done in the SSD world until now.
The RAIDR Express features the latest-generation dual LSI SandForce controller, Toshiba-made 19nm 16K-page size multi-level cell (MLC) sync-NAND flash, 100,000 4K read/write input/output operations per second (IOPS), and 830/810 MB/s sequential read/write speeds, meaning RAIDR Express truly lives up to its name.

I agree with Ian and would not personally try to extend the useful capacity of a fixing bath by any other means than a two bath system. Fixer is not that expensive and your images should be the primary concern.
At one time Kodak recommended the use of a hypo eliminator solution which consisted of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia water. The ideo was to oxidize any thiosulfate ion still in the emulsion to sulfate. Paradoxically such treated film had less archival permanance than untreated film. It appears that some of the residual thiosulfate decomposes and coats the silver grains with silver sulfide. Sodium sulfide is used to increase the permanence of microfilm. Agfa Sisain did the same thing by using a thiocyanate.

Moses Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) library for Node.js
The installation process is a little tricky, because this module depends on Moses, and Moses has a few dependencies. The instructions below originally come from Moses' Moses Installation and Training Run-Through page.
$WORK (which may be set to
$HOME/translation) is the directory to hold source and build files, and
$TRANSLATION (which may be set to
/opt/translation) is the directory where executables, libraries and header files are to be stored.
Before proceeding, Xcode must be installed. After installing Xcode, launch it, and install
Command Line Tools in
Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Components tab. This will provide the standard build tool for command line usage (with some modifications).
MacPorts is provides additional necessary build tools. After installing MacPorts, install autoconf and automake.
$ sudo /opt/local/bin/port install autoconf automake
Download latest version of Boost library from boost.org. Suppose the package is
$ cd $WORK$ tar -zxvf boost_1_54_0.tar.gz$ cd boost_1_54_0$ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$TRANSLATION/boost$ sudo ./b2 install
Download the latest version of GIZA++. Suppose the package is
$ cd $WORK$ tar -zxvf giza-pp-v1.0.7.tar.gz$ cd giza-pp$ make$ sudo mkdir -p $TRANSLATION/giza-pp/bin$ sudo cp GIZA++-v2/{GIZA++,snt2cooc.out} mkcls-v2/mkcls $TRANSLATION/giza-pp/bin
Download the latest version of SRILM. Suppose the package is
$ cd $WORK$ mkdir srilm$ tar -zxvf srilm.tgz -C srilm$ env SRILM=`pwd` make$ sudo mkdir $TRANSLATION/srilm$ sudo cp -r {bin,include,lib} $TRANSLATION/srilm$ cd $TRANSLATION/srilm$ sudo ln -s lib/macosx lib64
Download the latest version of IRSTLM. Suppose the package is
$ cd $WORK$ tar -zxvf irstlm-5.80.03.tgz$ ./regenerate-makefiles.sh$ ./configure --prefix=$TRANSLATION/irstlm$ make$ sudo make install
Download Moses release 1.0 (with the Download ZIP button). Suppose the package is
$ cd $WORK$ unzip mosesdecoder-RELEASE-1.0.zip$ cd mosesdecoder-RELEASE-1.0$ ./bjam --with-srilm=$TRANSLATION/srilm --with-irstlm=$TRANSLATION/irstlm --with-giza=$TRANSLATION/giza-pp --with-boost=$TRANSLATION/boost --prefix=$TRANSLATION/moses -j2 -sLDFLAGS="-liconv -lboost_program_options"$ sudo ./bjam --with-srilm=$TRANSLATION/srilm --with-irstlm=$TRANSLATION/irstlm --with-giza=$TRANSLATION/giza-pp --with-boost=$TRANSLATION/boost --prefix=$TRANSLATION/moses -j2 -sLDFLAGS="-liconv -lboost_program_options" install
The following script sets up the environment for running the command-line tools.
#!/bin/sh where=$TRANSLATION DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH export BOOST=$where/boostexport MOSES=$where/mosesexport SRILM=$where/srilm
Put this file in
$TRANSLATION/setenv.sh. With this, each time a new command-line console is open, execute the following command to set up.
$ . $TRANSLATION/setenv.sh
Download Moses' sample models package. Suppose the package is
$ cd $WORK$ tar -zxvf sample-models.tgz$ cd sample-models$ . $TRANSLATION/setenv.sh$ moses -f phrase-model/moses.ini < phrase-model/in
If all is set up correctly, near the end of the output, there should be a line containing text
BEST TRANSLATION: this is a small house.
As of release 1.0, Moses supports only one translation system per OS process. After the system is initialized, all subsequent translation must be performed in the same system. Though advanced features such as Using Multiple Translation Systems in the Same Server and Alternate Weight Settings allow users to have multiple translation tables, all those tables must be loaded at the same time, and once loaded, they cannot be changed in the entire life of the process.
A patch shipped with moses.js provides an enhancement that allows users to create and destroy translation systems on demand. This is especially useful for a Node.js server that runs for an extended period of time, and is expected to update its translation system dynamically (e.g., as result of a user request or service update). The patch also enables loading multiple translation systems at the same time, and selecting one of them for use with any given translation task.
To apply the patch, download the latest version from moses.js' github server. Suppose the patch file is saved at
$ cd $WORK/mosesdecoder-RELEASE-1.0$ patch -p1 < ../moses-1.0.patch$ sudo ./bjam --with-srilm=$TRANSLATION/srilm --with-irstlm=$TRANSLATION/irstlm --with-giza=$TRANSLATION/giza-pp --with-boost=$TRANSLATION/boost --prefix=$TRANSLATION/moses -j2 -sLDFLAGS="-liconv -lboost_program_options" install
This will rebuild Moses and reinstall it in
$TRANSLATION/moses. After this, it is recommended to return to Testing Moses to test moses again. The patch also modifies the main
moses program so that it runs in the legacy single-translation-system mode, instead of the enhanced multi-translation-system mode.
Install latest release of moses.js from npm.
$ cd $WORK$ mkdir test-moses-js$ . $TRANSLATION/setenv.sh$ npm install moses$ node node_modules/moses/sample/test-phrase-model.js

I have worked with Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) in a development environment on Windows XP for a while now using Visual Studio.Net 2003. Once the Active Application Mode was installed it was really just a matter of configuring SSL connection between the Web Application being hosted on the local IIS.
In Beta 1, ASP.Net 2.0 included a SqlMembershipProvider, however in Beta2 we seem to have quietly added an additional Membership Provider known as the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider that will work with both Active Directory and ADAM.
However, now that I have been using Visual Studio.Net 2005 with the Visual Web Developer, I can create Web Application from the local file system and not require IIS, which begs the question how to I setup ADAM without using SSL, and take advantage of the new Membership API Services in a Development Environment.
After creating an instance of ADAM called O=ADAuth and adding an Organization Object called OU=Users it was just a matter of adding configuration parameters to the WebConfig such as:
<membership defaultProvider="AspNetActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider"> <providers> <add name="AspNetActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=1.0.3600, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="ADService" connectionUserName="CN=ADAdmin,OU=Users,O=ADAuth" connectionPassword="PasswordForUser" connectionProtection="None" /> </providers> </membership>
If you are not connecting to ADAM over an SSL connection then the connectionProtection attribute must be set to "None" instead of the default setting of "Secure". When the connectionProtection is set to "None", you can not connect to the ADAM Directory with a Windows' Account; therefore, you must create a User Object in the ADAM instance and add it as a member of the Administrator role.
The connectionStringName refers to an valid connection string under the ConnectionString in the WebConfig. In my case the connection string should look similar to the following:
<add name="ADService" connectionString="LDAP://localhost:389/OU=Users,O=ADAuth"/>
However, you will still have problems connecting to ADAM with ASP.Net Membership API for two reasons. First, you need to configure ADAM to support unsecured bind operation since by default ADAM only support a secure connection such as SSL, and second ADAM does allow passwords to be send over an unsecured connection.
In the ADAM ADSI Edit, go to the Configuration naming context and choose the properties for CN=Directory Services, CN=Windows NT, CN=Services. Double click the attributes "msDS-Other-Settings" and click edit and remove the entry "RequireSecureProxyBind=1" and replace it with "RequireSecureProxyBind=0", then choose "OK". The next step is to go to the ADAM command prompt.
· At the server connections: prompt, type:
connect to server localhost:389
allow passwd op on unsecured connection
In Part 2, I will discuss how to configure the different password options that are available with the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider.

On the eve of the first presidential election of the post-Mubarak era, Egyptians remain hopeful about the future of their country, and they strongly desire both an improved economy and democratic freedoms .
Public Yawns at European Economic Woes
The European debt crisis has attracted minimal interest or concern among the U.S. public, despite warnings from economists that Europe's problems may threaten this country's fragile recovery.
Confidence in Democracy and Capitalism Wanes in Former Soviet Union
Two decades after the Soviet Union's collapse, Russians, Ukrainians, and Lithuanians are unhappy with the direction of their countries and disillusioned with the state of their politics.

U.S. Status as World's Superpower Challenged by Rise of China
The U.S. image abroad is more favorable than it was in the Bush years, but it now faces a new challenge: doubts about America's superpower status and the belief that China either will replace or already has replaced the United States as the world's leading superpower.
Japanese Resilient, but See Economic Challenges Ahead
A majority in Japan believe their country will emerge stronger in the aftermath of the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The Japanese are broadly unhappy with their own government's handling of the catastrophe, but there is considerable praise for the U.S. Most Japanese, however, also foresee a rocky economic road ahead.

The president gets an enthusiastic thumbs up from the world (with the notable exception of the U.S.) for the way he has handled the world economic crisis. Obama's personal popularity remains high, as do favorable views of the U.S. In a striking difference from the Bush years, while many around the world disagree with Obama's foreign policies, the U.S. image has not been significantly dented as a result. Muslim countries, however, continue to hold a negative view of America and most also give Obama unfavorable ratings.

Constance McMillen
We all deserve to love whomever we choose. That right should equally apply to choice of prom dates. In March, the Itawamba County School District in Mississippi canceled its school prom rather than allow high school senior Constance McMillen to attend with her girlfriend. A federal judge ruled that McMillen's first amendment rights were violated. She was later excluded from a private prom but attended another event with a handful of equality-minded students, including two with learning disabilities. "They had the time of their lives," McMillen said. "That's the one good thing that came out of this, [these kids] didn't have to worry about people making fun of them [at their prom]."

Posted 22 December 2012 - 04:08 AM
I have the unique (and fun!) responsibility of keeping you up to date (or not...<cough>) with the various goings-on in our development cycles as products move from inception to release...
Most of the time, this role is fun because I get to bring you good news- or show you things that we are working with that will excite the simmer in you.
I try to mention now and then that I speak on behalf of the entire PMDG team- not as a prelate of some sort- but as a member of a very solid, very skilled and very cohesive team of developers. Sometimes it is hard to believe that PMDG's first product release was 15 years ago next week- or that some members of the team (Vin and Dr. EV(il)) have been with us for more than a decade. Time just seems to scream by with only a few moments dedicated to looking back at all we have accomplished.
At any rate- around the table at PMDG, we are extremely excited about 2013 because it will encompass a number of firsts for PMDG, and we will be bringing you a range of new products during the coming year that are sure to add hundreds of hours of enjoyment to your simming experience!
None of us are in this line of work for the personal glory, or attention beyond the excitement that you all communicate about our products. We very much enjoy hearing that you like what we produce, but the reality is that we are producing airliner simulations that match our own expectations for what an airliner simulation should be all about... To a person, all of us on the PMDG team wound up on the PMDG team because we had a moment someplace along the way in which we decided, "this can be done better..."
In the corner of my office, I have a shelf that has been slowly collecting various awards and trophies presented to the PMDG team over the years.
A few weeks ago, a new one arrived... The good folks at simFlight thought enough of our PMDG 737NGX to recognize it in their annual awards- and this made me stop and reflect on just how much we have enjoyed delivering the NGX product line to you- and just how much fun it will be to see your reaction to the 777, and also the 747-400 v2.0... (A 744 in the detail level of the NGX? Almost seems too good to be true, doesn't it?!)
Here is an image of the award resting on the conference room table with the NGX:
So- I guess the point of what I am saying is: THANK YOU.
Thank you to each and every participant in this forum, to those who purchase and use our products, those who talk so kindly about our products and our work in this and other forums... Thank you to those who help us improve our products by providing feedback and ideas...
Thanks to the folks at SimFlight- and thank you to all of you. 2011 and 2012 have been very good to all of us - and we are looking forward to a rousing 2013!

Seriously - thank you all for the hard work! You make a lot of peoples dreams somewhat true, lots are unfortunate and will never take the left, or right seat of an airliner - you guys bring that experience to them, in probably the best way that is possible with the resources available through technology these days.
The future is only looking brighter ...

Thank you for your top of the line FS products, and for making my mouth water by reminding me of the 744(see my username).

[...] A 744 in the detail level of the NGX? Almost seems too good to be true, doesn't it?![...]
Oh yes! Even thinking of the fact that a 747-8i/f will come after that seems surreal! Haha! THANK YOU PMDG!
With kind regards, Bogdan Misko.

AboutDELVE is an exhibition that interrogates and rethinks the nature of artistic research. Approaching the exhibition as a process and focusing on the research-based practice of the artist and in turn the practice-based research of the curator, students from the RCA's Curating Contemporary Art MA programme seek to address the discourse around this field. Considering it as an integral part of the making process, both Duffy and Stevens will present new works, partially based on revisiting strands of research from previous projects. Duffy shows elements of her on-going project Come On In, bringing together research as diverse as ventriloquism, cave diving and Marilyn Monroe. Stevens will present a new work, Almost Touching, drawn out of research undertaken in and about the city of Odessa, the basis for her previous solo show at the Acme Project Space, Black Sea. As part of the display at Acme Project Space the team of curators consider what material and immaterial objects are observed by the artists to constitute their research. Generated through exchange between curators and artists, DELVE presents the resulting references and sources as an installation within the gallery. To address how research is often shaped through the social process of speaking to peers and friends, the artists and curators conducted site visits together prior to the exhibition, and the documentation of this forms part of the display. By formalising the exchange that takes place between artists and curators, DELVE aims to interrogate how artists and curators conduct research and its relationship to practice which will be explored further in a closing event with performances and discussions from 3pm on Sunday 25 May. What is unique about artistic research? Working intimately with two Acme residency artists, Sarah Duffy and Maaike Anne Stevens, the team of five curators have adopted a methodological approach to this proposition. Developed through a series of conversations with the artists, the exhibition concept looks at three core principles of what research is and how it is conducted: through making, through social interaction and through observation. The project is a collaboration between the Curating Contemporary Art Programme at the Royal College of Art and the Acme Studios Residency Programme. http://cca.rca.ac.uk http://www.acme.org.uk

National League Game Summary - San Diego at Colorado
(Sunday, May 18th)
Final Score: Colorado 8, San Diego 6 (10 innings)
Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Justin Morneau crushed a two-run homer in the 10th inning that lifted the Colorado Rockies to an 8-6 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday in the rubber match of a three-game set.
Carlos Gonzalez singled with one out in the home half and Morneau smoked a 3-2 fastball from Dale Thayer (2-2) over the wall two batters later to end it.
"Justin came up big in the end there," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of Morneau. "I'm really happy for him. He's having a phenomenal season."
The Rockies had a 6-4 lead in the ninth before LaTroy Hawkins blew his first save of the season, serving up a two-run shot by Everth Cabrera.
Nick Masset (1-0) pitched a perfect top half of the 10th for Colorado to earn the win.
Seth Smith opened the scoring with a solo homer to right center in the first to give the Padres an early lead.
Colorado put up a four-spot in the third, with Charlie Blackmon's two-run single coming just before Corey Dickerson's two-run homer to left.
With two outs in the fourth, Cameron Maybin singled and scored on Rene Rivera's double. Will Venable plated Rivera a batter later with a single to center to cut the San Diego deficit to 4-3.
"You know we're going to battle. We're going to (give) 100 percent until the last out," Rivera said. "It was a tough game."
Troy Tulowitzki increased the Colorado cushion with a solo shot to start the fifth, but San Diego got the run back in the next inning with a solo blast from Rivera.
In the home seventh, Blackmon and pinch-hitter Drew Stubbs singled to set up a frantic play. Following a 6-4-2-5 double play off the bat of Tulowitzki -- one in which Blackmon was erased at home and Stubbs at second and left the batter on second base -- Gonzalez brought him home with a looping single into center that pushed the spread to 6-4.
Game Notes
San Diego had won two of three entering the game ... Colorado had lost four of its last five ... Colorado starter Juan Nicasio went six innings and allowed four runs on nine hits ... Donn Roach was let off the hook for the Padres in his start after allowing four runs on four hits over three innings ... Colorado activated catcher Wilin Rosario (stomach virus) off the 15-day disabled list prior to the game and optioned catcher Mike McKenry to Triple-A Colorado Springs to make room for Rosario.

PRLog - Sep. 30, 2009 - WILMINGTON, N.C. -- WILMINGTON, NC- Caenus and The Quiver of Artemis, an historical novel written by Christopher S. Ledbetter of Wilmington, North Carolina is now on sale at McNally Robinson Booksellers, a Toronto, Canada – based brick-and-mortar book store.
Following a successful global online release launch in March of 2009, copies of Caenus and The Quiver of Artemis were shipped to readers in Washington, Minnesota, Alabama, Virginia, and South Carolina, as well as Canada and Greece. Ledbetter's debut novel was also a huge hit at the Galax Book Festival in Galax, Virginia, capturing the coveted top selling single title distinction.
The international community took notice and soon Ledbetter worked out an arrangement with McNally Robinson of Toronto, Canada to carry his title.
"With everyone so focused on online sales," Ledbetter said. "It's nice to have the book in a physical store where consumers can put their hands on it and feel its energy."
The international sensation is available on Amazon sites around the world. "Caenus" is offered for sale at six international Amazon sites: USA- www.amazon.com, Canada- www.amazon.ca, United Kingdom- www.amazon.co.uk, Germany- www.amazon.de, France- www.amazon.fr, and Japan- www.amazon.co.jp.
In addition to the international Amazon websites, "Caenus" is offered for sale at www.barnesandnoble.com and www.powells.com in the United States, www.alibris.co.uk and www.bookshop.blackwell.co.uk in the United Kingdom, www.buch.de and www.vorwaerts-
About Caenus And The Quiver Of Artemis, the novel
The novel is a cross between historical fantasy and alternate history, as fictional characters inhabit real historical settings of Ancient Greece. The fantasy aspect is woven masterfully as the Gods of the Pantheon interact with mortals in real and imagined mythological locales, much as they did in The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Aeneid.
Being set in Ancient Greece, the novel has an intrinsically international appeal, and has upon its release garnered interest from fans in Greece as well as Canada, South Wales, Australia, Bulgaria and Turkey in addition to the United States. "Through extensive research, I endeavored to bring to life the real places that are featured in the novel. Someone who lives there now could definitely appreciate the work that went into it. Of course, I have thrown a bit of fantasy in there as well," Ledbetter offered.
"After having taught middle school and high school for six years, I have a feel for what would hold the attention of the young adult audience; intense action and a good old fashioned love triangle," Ledbetter said. "Its broad appeal, however, transcends a single demographic. Any lover of Ancient Greece and mythology will surely find the story enjoyable. It is an edge-of-your-
Along the lines of intense action and a love triangle, "Caenus and the Quiver of Artemis" delivers both. Prince Caenus (KEE-nuhs) of Iolkos, the title character and protagonist, sets out to prove his worth at Apollo's Tournament in Corinth, a five-stage, grueling test of strength and endurance. There he meets two people who alter his life profoundly; Adriande, an elusive local peasant girl, and Makedon a ruthless prince from Neapolis. The hands of the gods guide Caenus and Makedon (ma-KĀ-don)
Ledbetter moved to Wilmington, North Carolina in August 2006 from Charlottesville, Virginia after a six-year teaching career in Culpeper, Virginia. With a new career as a car salesman at Bob King Volkswagen in Wilmington, Ledbetter relished his nights free of lesson planning and grading that so commonly came with teaching, and so set about indulging in a long dormant dream of writing. "Caenus" began as an idea for a short story, and blossomed into a trilogy, "Of Kings And Gods."

The words you say never seem to live up to the ones inside your head.
I enjoy finding humor in the little things. Sarcasm is very much a friend of mine. I've been on active duty for the past 10 years and have been able to see a lot of the world. There is a lot more to me than that, though. My family has supported me through it all and I've always been appreciative of them. I'm just as comfortable being a loner as I am in a group. Over the past couple of years I have really grown tired of the bar/club scene and while I'll still go on occasion, there is a lot more to life than wasting nights in watering holes. Relationships, to me, are give and take. A little cliche, perhaps, but those are truly words to live by. I'll never be one to gain my self worth through the approval of my significant other. I've got hobbies and do appreciate my space but obviously something is missing and that's why I am here. At the end of the day I'm a friendly, laid back guy that still believes in giving people the benefit of the doubt.

The Met Office has been producing and verifying short-period (up to five to seven days ahead) forecasts for every tropical cyclone since 1988. Verification of the performance of the global model in predicting tropical cyclone tracks has been routinely published on a monthly and seasonal basis during that time.
The links below show the forecast verification for all tropical cyclones during the last few seasons. The 'Observed and forecast tracks' links show forecast tracks for individual tropical cyclones accompanied by comments on the Met Office global model performance. The 'Seasonal verification reports' links show the global model's performance over the season as a whole. The 'Forecast error graphs' links show the long-term trend in track forecast errors since 1988 for various ocean basins as well as comparisons between the Met Office model and other forecasts.
For verification statistics from seasons earlier than those presented here please email firstname.lastname@example.com. For information on current tropical cyclones go to the tropical cyclones warnings and guidance page.
