When you walk into a darkened room, your first instinct is to feel around for a light switch. You slide your hand along the wall, feeling the transition from the doorframe to the painted drywall, and then up and down until you find the metal or plastic plate of the switch. During the process you use your sense of touch to develop an image in your mind of the wall's surface and make a better guess for where the switch is.
Sliman Bensmaia, PhD, assistant professor of organismal biology and anatomy at the University of Chicago, studies the neural basis of tactile perception, or how our hands convey this information to the brain. In a new study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, he and his colleagues found that the timing and frequency of vibrations produced in the skin when you run your hands along a surface, like searching a wall for a light switch, plays an important role in how we use our sense of touch to gather information about the objects and surfaces around us.
The sense of touch has traditionally been thought of in spatial terms, i.e. receptors in the skin are spread out across a grid of sorts, and when you touch something this grid of receptors transmits information about the surface to your brain. In their new study, Bensmaia, two former undergraduates, and a postdoctoral scholar in his lab—Matthew Best, Emily Mackevicius and Hannes Saal—found that the skin is also highly sensitive to vibrations, and that these vibrations produce corresponding oscillations in the afferents, or nerves, that carry information from the receptors to the brain. The precise timing and frequency of these neural responses convey specific messages about texture to the brain, much like the frequency of vibrations on the eardrum conveys information about sound.
Neurons communicate through electrical bits, similar to the digital ones and zeros used by computers. But, Bensmaia said, "One of the big questions in neuroscience is whether it's just the number of bits that matters, or if the specific sequence of bits in time also plays a role. What we show in this paper is that the sequence of bits in time does matter, and in fact for some of the skin receptors, the timing matters with millisecond precision."
Researchers have known for years that these afferents respond to skin vibrations, but they studied their responses using so-called sinusoidal waves, which are smooth, repetitive patterns. These perfectly uniform vibrations can be produced in a lab, but the kinds of vibrations produced in the skin by touching surfaces in the real world are messy and erratic.
For this study, Bensmaia and his team used a vibratory motor that can produce any complex vibration they want. In the first experiment, they recorded afferent responses to a variety of frequencies in rhesus macaques, whose tactile nervous system closely resembles humans. In the second part, a group of human subjects reported how similar or different two particular frequencies felt when a probe attached to the motor touched their skin.
When the team analyzed the data recorded from the rhesus macaques, they found that not only did the nerve oscillate at the frequency of the vibrations, but they could also predict how the human subjects would perceive vibrations based on the neuronal responses to the same frequencies in the macaques.
"In this paper, we showed that the timing of spikes evoked by naturalistic vibrations matters, not just for artificial stimuli in the lab," Bensmaia said. "It's actually true for the kinds of stimuli that you would experience in everyday life."
What this means is that given a certain texture, we know the frequency of vibrations it will produce in the skin, and subsequently in the nerve.
In other words, if you knew the frequency of silk as your finger passes over it, you could reproduce the feeling by stimulating the nerves with that same frequency without ever touching the fabric.
But this study is just part of ongoing research for Bensmaia's team on how humans incorporate our sense of touch into more sophisticated concepts like texture, shape, and motion.
Researchers could someday use this model of timing and frequency of afferent responses to simulate the sensation of texture for an amputee by "replaying" the vibrations produced in an artificial limb as it explores a textured surface by electrically stimulating the nerve at the corresponding frequencies. It could also be used for haptic rendering, or producing the tactile feel of a virtual object on a touchscreen (think turning your iPad into a device for reading Braille, or controlling robotic surgery).
"We're trying to build a theory of what makes things feel the way they feel," Bensmaia said. "This is the beginning of a story that's really going to change the way people think about the somatosensory system."

I finally jumped on the bandwagon and bought a Wet & Wild eyeshadow pallet. And I couldn't believe the quality when I swatched the "Comfort Zone" pallet. The eyeshadows are super soft and buttery, and really pigmented!!! You cannot beat the price and the quality is excellent. My only complaint is the packaging, its just ghetto and cheap, but hey! I'd rather pay for an eyeshadow pallet that has great shadows and crap packaging than vice versa.

The story of the fascinating Frontières market from the 2015 Fantasia Festival.
"For Love or Money" stars Michael J. Fox, one of the most likable stars in the movies, in a romantic comedy so lightweight that his charm has to carry the whole enterprise. Take away the basic human appeal of Fox and his love interest, Gabrielle Anwar, and what you have left wouldn't fuel 22 minutes of a sitcom.
The set-up makes it perfectly clear exactly what must happen in "For Love and Money," but the movie struggles manfully ahead, pretending it doesn't know. The story involves Fox as a New York hotel concierge, who falls in love with a millionaire's sweet and innocent mistress. Can you guess who gets the girl? Some effort is made to flesh out this idea, which must have been ancient in Chaplin's time, by adding backstage details about the operation of the hotel. But even here no effort is made to be original or observant. We see some corridors, we meet the snotty manager and the ancient bellman, and we learn that conciergi trade theater tickets with each other in Central Park. But the movie isn't about hotel, it's about ancient plot devices. Fox plays Doug Ireland, concierge at a hotel where every customer needs special handling. One of them is Christian Hanover (Anthony Higgins), a supercilious rich man who is shamelessly taking advantage of the naive but beautiful Andy Hart (Gabrielle Anwar). Doug's heart goes pitty-pat the moment he sees Andy, but he cannot act on his impulses because Hanover is a big tipper.
Plus, of course, Doug has a dream. He wants to build a hotel on an island off Manhattan, and he's purchased an option to the rights. Now he needs a backer, and Hanover plays him along. Doug knows Andy likes him, and he knows how shamelessly the married millionaire is deceiving her. But if Doug wins his love, he loses his hotel.
And that's about it. The movie is a throwback to a kinder, gentler time; this could have been a Sandra Dee comedy in the 1950s.
Nothing in it is very witty, or very new, or very smart. Gabrielle Anwar makes an appealing presence (you may remember her from "Scent Of A Woman"), and there is a half-hearted attempt to work up some slapstick in a scene at the millionaire's summer home.
But "For Love or Money" is essentially the kind of movie where you walk in, sit down, and start thinking this is where you came in.

Recent reviews:
July 3, 2015 - Attractive and sturdy and I like the inside pockets too! Big enough for my laptop and papers. I got the blue and it is a really unique look that has drawn lots of compliments.
June 19, 2015 - Good sturdy bag. My only complain is mine has less contrast between it's stripes and has one spot where something rough pressed against the plastic. Luck of the draw with something of this nature. At $16 it is a bargain that can not be beat, and will be perfect for carrying my drawings in, and would also be perfect for a small to medium sized laptop or other handheld device.
October 17, 2014 - I'm most impressed with how sturdy/durable this bag is (the most important trait for me, since I wear out purses and totes fast). It is very well constructed and smart-looking. I got it in the blue, and it's very artsy and professional. There is not a lot of 'give' depth wise (maybe up to 4-5 inches), but it still can hold a lot.

Product description
DreamWorks Animation and Insight Editions presents The Art of Kung Fu Panda 2; the book that takes readers behind-the-scenes of the animated martial arts mega-sequel. As the recently anointed Dragon Warrior, Po the Panda (Jack Black) is living his dream as the champion of the Valley of Peace. But Po's serenity is disrupted when the malevolent Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), an epically evil warlord, threatens to destroy all of China by creating an unstoppable weapon that promises to supplant kung fu. With every conquest, Shen's ambition, cruelty, and lust for power grow, forcing Po and The Furious Five to confront their most powerful enemy ever, or else witness the destruction of their homeland and the tradition of kung fu. Included in this tome of production artwork are designs for Baby Po, Po's parents, the sharp-taloned peacock Shen, the warlord's fearsome wolf mercenaries, as well as Po's new allies—Master Croc (Jean-Claude Van Dam), Master Skunkman (James Woods), and Master Thundering Rhino (Victor Garber). Also included are the epic environments Po, Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey, must venture through on their epic quest to confront the evil Lord Shen and save kung fu. With new friends, Po's strength has never been greater. But how can he stop a weapon that can stop kung fu? Po must look deep into his past and uncover the secrets of his mysterious origins; only then will he be able to unlock the strength he needs to succeed.

So their plan is to go region-free and then charge every market the same prices as the most expensive one, because following the prevailing standards might cut into their profits. Well, that's just heart-warming. And it also has no bearing on their charging $20 per episode now. This boils down to "we're milking you so you'll be used to it and won't complain as much when we want to milk you more later on."). Bite me, BV. I'm getting gladder by the day that I decided to stick with my Gunbuster VHSes.

but if the Bandai Visual was doing same treatment with US release as well as Japanese, why is there no 5.1 audio track for Gunbuster?
I bought Japanese release of Gunbuster/Gunbuster 2 collection for 5.1 Japanese audio...
but when I got US version of Gunbuster, I was dissapointed at lack of 5.1 audio...
if BV wants to treat US market as same as Japanese, let them know to keep the audio track same as well...

I completely agree, it's as if BV want to give us a very similar release as the Japanese yet they changed something....I guess it's to prevent reverse importing.
Not really my concern that your taking advantage of the Japanese market, but when no one buys your discs don't say that no one wanted Wing of Rean, Gunbuster, Freedom, etc etc. The economics of America and Japan are quite wide, and how Anime fans spent their money differs from Japanese....

Gunbuster never had a 5.1 track in Japan either. The compilation movie had a re-recorded track but since the movie is a heavily cut version it would obviously not work to port that audio track back to the full OAV episodes. A better question is to ask why the music was changed for the R1 DVD but not the R2 or any other edition.

People always put too much emphasis on price and not enough on the quality of the product. All the volumes will be coming with extensive extras and beautiful collector's books.
Also lets not get riduclous no one actually pays full price for a dvd so $40 is the equivalent to $20 online especially when you take account of DDD's 20% off sale.
I want QUALITY not QUANTITY like all those people who only jump on cheap thinpacks of C and D grade shows. You know it wasn't that long ago when people were paying over a $100 for Tenchi Muyo Ultimate Collection or $80 dollars for Heroic of Arslan boxset. Go even further back and VHS would cost around $39.95 each. This was before online discounts were even an option.
Today's fans are just spoilt rotten and whiney for the sake of it. It's always the same issues that get brought up. Why is anime fandom so leaned to the negative rather than the positive these days? It never used to be like this.

But . . . not everyone WANTS all that stuff. I want discs with episodes, and that's it. I was so excited about the Gunbuster release--I was all set to preorder it and everything. Then they announced the big fancy schmancy box and how it was jacking the price up to $65 for six episodes, and all of a sudden my excitement was crushed. The same thing happened with the Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu releases - I want a BOX, but I don't need a box with drawers and half the Haruhi merchandise ever made. Now I'm going to buy the regular releases and forego the box just to save myself the extra expense. If all the extras are worth it to consumers, then yes, the price will be fair to them. I don't see any reason to pay more money for products I don't even want, however.
As for the price of VHS, yes, they WERE expensive. And yes, now we have DVDs with more content, so it does seem like a "deal" to pay the same $40 price as on an old VHS tape if you look at it that way. However, Bandai is (as far as I know--Geneon may come close) the ONLY distributor trying to charge the R2 price in the R1 market. If other companies aren't having trouble with that, why would Bandai? Part of the difference is that Bandai actually does operate in both countries whereas many American companies simply import, but American companies ARE getting more involved in production, so that point is becoming moot. Further, look at Viz, which is rather closely related to Shueisha--Viz's prices are more than reasonable regardless. Why would I pay $65 to buy six episodes from Bandai when I can pay $40 to buy thirteen from Viz? You could give the "differences in licensing costs" line, which might have SOME credibility because Viz likely gets a substantial discount on licensing Shueisha properties, but I'm fairly sure (correct me if I'm wrong) that Naruto or Prince of Tennis likely cost more than Gunbuster.

We are absolutely not living in the same market today that we were living in 10 years ago. Anime has found a much more economical balance in the North American market since then, and it never would have been able to grow otherwise.
I don't care what extra crap they throw in, 2 episodes of any series, subtitled only, and likely crippled in some subtle way to prevent reverse importation is absolutely not worth $40 US, or whatever minimal discount the discs would be given by retailers. (And something like Gunbuster 2 would be a bit closer to $30 US in stores like Best Buy, not $20.) Keep in mind that releases from companies like Geneon are of comparable quality (and FUNimation, more so as time goes by), with a dub to boot.
I seriously don't believe for a second that the prices given to many releases, especially for TV series', are in any way adequate in Japan. They've essentially brainwashed that market into believing that $70+ is the "correct" cost for Lame, Fan-Pandering Moe Series B with no extras, even if you are just a collector. Honestly, I have to commend people in Japan who are smart enough to do reverse-importation, since anyone actually falling into this faulty pricing is clearly delusional.
I don't suppose anyone actually bothered to mention fansubs at this panel? I'd love to see how these guys would react to that particular topic.

Are you an HD-DVD completist or something? I'm shocked that anyone would consider paying $80 for a single movie.
EDIT: I also don't think that complaining about the first Gunbuster OVA's price point is fair. Indeed, I was one of the first to defend it in the past. Had it been after BV changed their pricing structure, I'm sure we would've seen a Galaxy Angel Rune-like release: three volumes, $40-50 each. *THAT* would've been unfair.

Agree as long as there up to the quality that came with the Patlabor DVDs, which I doubt each release will have. BV should have strip down version of these series available, even if there staggered releases where the LE comes out a month or two before the bare bones just episode or movie version.

But this means I could play it on a regular player, right? I haven't taken sides on the format war.
Looks like those companies shoving their, "But fans buy dubs more" bs pr down my throat all these years can eat some crow. The only reason people were buying dubs more often than subs in the vhs days was because the dubs were cheaper. Screw, you, too, Kahn.
Isn't that what they said about Working Designs before it folded?
Those were still better deals than what BV's giving us.
I think that has to do with Bandai Entertainment demanding the Japanese side give in on as many of their extras as possible, as to help alleviate the butt-raping they were getting from paying an exorbitant fee for a show which might end up being another Azumanga Daioh, rather than an Onegai Whatever.
They're not reasonable for out-of-order Ranma episodes with no music lyrics. Or Prince of Tennis with no original music cues. (Not that Gunbuster's better, in that regard, but at least you only pay for that one once...)
Anime's become cheaper, because there have been more people who wanted to buy it since the early 90s. I can actually justify some of the price-jacking going on with BV, since I know Honneamise is going to be niche. I will agree that the higher prices should be more reasonable, though. If BV is gonna go that route, they probably should try to get some shelf space near Criterion. I also don't see who's gonna pay that much for shows no one's heard of, like Rean or Enma. If they'd done the research, they'd realize no one's buying Go Nagai or Dunbine. If you're going to charge that much, do it for more high-profile titles.
Who the hell would sit through a fansub of Honneamise, outside of a couple of
nostalgic otaku? Hell, I couldn't even bother with the legal version of the film.

Urban Brawl is the prequel to Scuba Steve's: Action Doom, telling your character's history before those events. Urban Brawl embodies a comic book look and feel with cell shaded graphics and story sequences. All of this is fused with a gameplay that is reminiscent of an old beat-em up game.
Ten years before the events of the Uac Site 4 disaster, you are a former law enforcement officer, laid off, drunk, miserable, and raising your daughter alone. When contract killers kidnap your daughter, it's time for action.Take on gangs of punks, thugs, gangbangers, rapists, drugdealers and the worst of them all... suicidal emo's.

This was a really cool Doom mod, the gameplay reminded me of Condemned 1 & 2.
I just finished my Co-op mod for action2 , it simply allows Co-op mode by fixing few bugs and removing few blockers that break the Multiplayer mode
I'll upload it here next week .
I am currently working on a Deathmatch styled addon for this so you folks know.
The game is made by a gent named Scuba Steve btw.
wow awesome!!! when it will be done?
Action doom 2 seems to work with zandronum while the dead of winter addon does not, any idea on how to fix it? or is it only meant for GZdoom and Zdoom?
It works fine with GZdoom 1.8.2
Sweet to see this made it to ModDB finally!
Shouldn't this be on the mod's section?
you can run the game without any doom files so it is something like a standalone mod
It has it's own IWAD.

2007 Aston Martin DB9 Volante Review

Awesome Motor. Excellent accelaration, superb handling. Looks beautiful, SOunds superb. Absolutely loved driving it and can't wait to drive another one. Guzzles petrol due to the 6 litre, V8, 48 Valve, 535Bhp engine that can top 189 mph, but if you can afford one of these, you can definately afford to run it.

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Video, The Colbert Report, GMOs, washington state, Food Business, Sustainability News, Entertainment News, Politics News
With 54 percent of the slowly rolling in votes, Washington state's expensive and divisive GMO battle appears to have ended in defeat for Initiative 522, which would have required labels for most foods produced using genetic engineering. While Yes on 522 maintains that votes are too close to call, most major news outlets are calling it for the pro-GMO camp — and for the agricultural and food companies that contributed $22 million to the effort.
Stephen Colbert, as always, has the perfect lesson for us to take away from all this: "America's food manufacturers can't take the time and expense to find out if there's genetically modified ingredients in their food. They don't even know if there's food in their food." His proposal? Forget labeling GMOs — let's just stop labeling food, period. Watch him explain why informing people about what they're eating ends up ruining the surprise:

Seven Databases in Seven Weeks (A Guide to Modern Databases and the NoSQL Movement) is a book written Eric Redmond (@coderoshi) and Jim Wilson (@hexlib), part of The Pragmatic Programmers (@pragprog) series that takes a look at several non SQL based database systems.
Coverage includes PostgreSQL, Riak, Apache HBase, MongoDB, Apache CouchDB, Neo4J and Redis with plenty of code and architecture examples. Also covered include relational vs. key value, columnar and document based systems among others.
The details: Seven Databases in Seven Weeks
Paperback: 352 pages
Publisher: Pragmatic Bookshelf (May 18, 2012)
Language: English
Product Dimensions: 7.5 x 0.8 x 9 inches
Buzzwords (or keywords) include availability, consistency, performance and related themes.

While this book is not a how to tutorial or installation guide, it does give a deep dive into the different databases covered. The benefit is gaining an understanding of what the different databases are good for, strengths, weakness, where and when to use or choose them for various needs.
A look inside my copy of Seven Databases in Seven Days
Who should this book includes applications developers, programmers, Cloud, big data and IT/ICT architects, planners and designers along with database, server, virtualization and storage professionals. What I like about the book is that it is a great intro and overview along with sufficient depth to understand what these different solutions can and cannot do, when, where and why to use these tools for different situations in a quick read format and plenty of detail.
Would I recommend buying it: Yes, I bought a copy myself on Amazon.com, get your copy by clicking here.
Ok, nuff said (for now).

The Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), which enables organizations to seamlessly run in a hybrid cloud model (public + private cloud), is here to stay. IDC estimates that the software-defined networking market will be valued at $3.7 billion by 2016. Security is a key component and benefit of the SDDC, and offers an opportunity to build security 'from the ground up' and weave it into the environment from day one.

Container technology is sending shock waves through the world of cloud computing. Heralded as the 'next big thing,' containers provide software owners a consistent way to package their software and dependencies while infrastructure operators benefit from a standard way to deploy and run them. Containers present new challenges for tracking usage due to their dynamic nature. They can also be deployed to bare metal, virtual machines and various cloud platforms. How do software owners track the usag...

One of the ways to increase scalability of services – and applications – is to go "stateless." The reasons for this are many, but in general by eliminating the mapping between a single client and a single app or service instance you eliminate the need for resources to manage state in the app (overhead) and improve the distributability (I can make up words if I want) of requests across a pool of instances. The latter occurs because sessions don't need to hang out and consume resources that could ...

Microservices has the potential of significantly impacting the way in which developers create applications. It's possible to create applications using microservices faster and more efficiently than other technologies that are currently available. The problem is that many people are suspicious of microservices because of all the technology claims to do. In addition, anytime you start moving things around in an organization, it means changing the status quo and people dislike change. Even so, micr...

Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve.

Approved this February by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), HTTP/2 is the first major update to HTTP since 1999, when HTTP/1.1 was standardized. Designed with performance in mind, one of the biggest goals of HTTP/2 implementation is to decrease latency while maintaining a high-level compatibility with HTTP/1.1. Though not all testing activities will be impacted by the new protocol, it's important for testers to be aware of any changes moving forward.

Auto-scaling environments, micro-service architectures and globally-distributed teams are just three common examples of why organizations today need automation and interoperability more than ever.

SLI Systems prices $27m share sale
Relevant offers
Christchurch IT firm SLI Systems is offering $27 million of shares for sale to the general public at $1.50 a share.
The company announced the price of the shares today.
The 12-year-old company offers specialised search software service to international and local clients and is growing rapidly.
Most of its business is overseas. It counts Harrods department store in London as one of its international clients. Its "software as a service" makes it easier for consumers to find products on retailers' and other companies' websites.
SLI Systems is offering $15m of new shares and existing shareholders are selling $12m of their shares.
The share price has been set at $1.50 per share following a book build to institutional investors and NZX firms. This final price gives SLI Systems an implied market capitalisation following the IPO of approximately $87 million.
The company said its share off had received strong support from brokers and widespread institutional investor support. Investor demand had exceeded the $27m offer by 147 per cent which is approximately 2.5 times the money sought, at the book build clearing price.
Applications had been scaled. There will be no public pool.
Trade Me founder and technology entrepreneur Sam Morgan will invest an additional $1m at $1.50.
Morgan's family trust made an investment of $1m in SLI Systems in late 2012.
SLI Systems Chairman Greg Cross said: "We are delighted with the extremely positive response from New Zealand brokers and institutions, with nine new institutions joining our register. It shows New Zealand investors are willing to support innovative New Zealand companies on the world stage."

I'm a plunderphonics artist which means I make music out of samples. Most of my stuff is pogo-inspired. I've also made vaporwave and 8-bit. On the rest of the internet I also do things so follow me on the social networks.
