Social connections between visitors and savvy local residents are the heart of a newly revamped promotional website touting the sprawling Los Angeles area.
Move over Hollywood celebrities. Social connections between visitors and savvy local residents are the heart of a newly revamped promotional website touting the sprawling Los Angeles area.
On Oct. 26 the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board unveiled its next-gen digital hub, DiscoverLosAngeles.com, designed by 15-year-old marketing agency Digitaria.
Like all city tourism sites, the new LA hub is competing with a growing list of travel search engines, destination ratings sites, and hotel booking platforms. Consequently, it has to be more than just a comprehensive directory, events calendar, and cheerleader for the city.
"Travel is becoming a truly social activity," said Don Skeoch, CMO for the LA tourism board. "Today's traveler increasingly wants helpful, general destination information along with insider information. So, we combined the best aspects of a travel guide with the best aspects of talking to a local."
The site is built around an exploratory process, "so that both visitors and residents can easily find what the area offers, beyond what they might already know," said Michael Brown, VP of media, entertainment, and travel at Digitaria.
To make the information manageable, the site's first focus is on the different regions of the LA basin, which are sometimes lengthy drives from each other. "We don't want people to feel overwhelmed by LA's sprawling size and diversity," Brown said.
Once a region is selected, the site offers an experience builder - similar to a mobile app - that allows users to add any activity to "My LA Bucket List." Maps show where selected activities are located in relation to each other.
Facebook and Twitter are incorporated into the site to foster real-time sharing and feedback. The Discover LA Facebook page boasts close to one million fans. Entries in the page's popular "photo of the day" have attracted up to 9,000 likes and hundreds of comments in several languages. The program's Twitter feed @DiscoverLA has almost 20,000 followers.
Content on the site is also carefully edited to give the digital hub a voice and personality, unlike straightforward, information-based directories. "People are more likely to share information they've discovered when it feels like the information comes from a person talking to them," said Brown.
For instance, David Oh, the NASA flight director of the Mars Curiosity Rover, who lives on Mars time, offers suggestions for other night owls, such as where to get sushi in Pasadena at 2 a.m. On the celebrity front, Magic Johnson recommends his favorite Beverly Hills Italian restaurant.
Going forward, the digital program will include additional insider tips and advice from local residents who are "neighborhood advocates," said Brown. The tourism group is just "scratching the surface" of using social sharing and personalization, he said.
For more traditional users, information is also filtered into typical lifestyle categories: culture, sports, attractions, nightlife, and dining.
The website relaunch is the latest installment in a new global branding campaign by LA Tourism, which began in Spring 2012. Next up: an integrated marketing campaign in Q1 2013, with digital, television, print, PR, and promotions, per a tourism rep.

After successfully battling lung cancer in 2009, Valerie Harper thought she had the disease beat.
But as the television icon, 73, reveals in this week's PEOPLE, she is now fighting cancer again – and this time it is an even more formidable foe.
On Jan. 15 she received a diagnosis of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare condition that occurs when cancer cells spread into the fluid-filled membrane – known as the meninges – surrounding the brain.
The incurable disease, which accounts for less than 2% of all cancers, "comes on quickly and progresses quickly," says Harper's oncologist, Dr. Ronald Natale, director of the Lung Cancer Research Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. It can prove fatal in as few as three months.
"This is a really complicated condition," says Dr. Jeremy Rudnick, Harper's neuro-oncologist. "The spinal fluid is a collection of fluid that's being circulated [through the brain] kind of like a sink. The fluid itself is growing cancer cells so they are multiplying in there. Those cells start to coat the brain."
Because of the difficulty of getting chemotherapy drugs into the meninges, there are "limitations" in treating the condition, says Dr. Rudnick.

I will most likely be using a lot of his textures as well but with some height maps added in. At least in the earlier releases. Credit will of course be given.
I am into console gaming pc gaming. I am a fan of the battlefield series, cs, half-life,unreal the list goes on. I weld, solder, play the violin, learning guitar. I also mountain board(yes this is a real sport) and bike. Feel free to check out my youtube channel listed as the homepage.

trying bud, thanks for the support.
progress will be slow on this as I am lone wolfing it for the moment. I will post pictures as I carve out more time to work on more ingame meshes.
the engine STALKER should have used.
my editor is down at the moment for some reason, will try it again tonight.
no problem man, i will mess around with it later today :) Will get back to you.
hmm I will have to get back to you, don't have access to 3DS max or the editor as i am at work, will get back to you in about 2 days. Weekend trip planned :C
Do you already have you textures and the material setup? Because it should be as easy as applying the material to the object. Appreciate the feedback.
So is this a remake using Unreal Engine 3 or have you made modifications to the Thief version of UE2 to make it look like this?
Hmmm, I will take a look again today once at home. What exactly is messed up with it? Unreadable file like corrupted? or too confusing?
hmm I think it should be in the mod instructions
i never thought this engine was capable of producing such gorgeous daylight scenes! Fantastic art direction to boot!
if you die the game crashes currently. And I do not really have the time to dig around to find the cause :(
thank you so much for contributing! Need more people to keep this alive :)
crysis status
fantastic work as per usual
and also if you access the console and type in help
then you can see more commands to mess with lens flares and the like, if you want a permanent solution edit the environment.cfg file and edit those values or get the Syndicate advanced cfg tool
fantastic thanks for the update dibe91!
you need to extract the files using the GRAW bundle reader, which I should have included in the mod file folder, I should aslo have instruction on that
somebody should mod that in and make a lotr inspired level at least
I have to agree. As much as I dig GoW's drab and bleak post apocalyptic look this needs to be better lit, not necessarily brightness wise, it just needs more separate lights of different kinds :) Looks great otherwise
amazing! thanks for the input friend! Let me know how it goes :) and keep the community updated.
unfortunately the campaign levels are locked from modification, because the level are cooked. However, it is possible to use all these models and weapons in any custom map/mod which is not cooked, as it stands I am still trying to iron out bugs with custom weapons. I have the weapon switching down now and the shells ejection/muzzleflash are working too but the original lancer model shows up underneath the custom gun, once that is cleared up I will have a tutorial up here on how to get them into your own map or someone else's
how exactly did you add widescreen support was it a hex edit of the .exe? I am just curious because I have been trying to add that feature to sonic riders on pc
nice use of hammerburst, just be sure to give me credit for the weapon replacement stuff if you do the re-release :)
amazing model :)
yep you guys can thank dibe91 for all the work here lately :)
I remember when the download for the first crysis was available, but my rig just could not run it at even 30 fps. I had dated components 3.2Ghz Q6600, 8 gigs 10066 DDR2 ram, amd 5870 and a standard 7200rpm hdd. Will the new version running on CryEngine 3 be even more resource intensive? I just wish for better optimization because my rig ran Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 just fine.
well it is working more or less fine at the moment I just need to figure out how to add custom animations to the new weapons and also to make sure they eject brass/ have a muzzle flash, and then it will be done and I will be ready for a tutorial to be released

Lorde Opens Up About Her Second Album + Robyn as an Influence
Lorde has shared an update on "making the next body of work" and named Robyn as an influence.
Lorde has shared an update on "making the next body of work" and named Robyn as an influence.
I've always loved 'We Are The World' type music collaborations. 'Do They Know It's Christmas', 'What's Goin' On', etc. A re-recording of the Beach Boys' 'God Only Knows' has brought together everyone from Pharrell Williams, to One Direction, to Coldplay. See who else you can spot in this video, which benefits the charity Children in Need.
New Zealand singer/songwriter Lorde contributed a song to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack, a cover of Tears for Fears' 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'. Now producers of the the next HG installment have turned to the 17-year old to curate songs for Mockingjay: Part 1.
Happy weekend, PopCrushers! Start your Friday night off right with the latest installment of the PopCrush Mini-Mix, featuring remixed pop tracks from some of our favorite artists like Ed Sheeran, Lorde, Pharrell and more. Turn it up!
And life just keeps getting better for Lorde. The 17-year old singer experienced another career milestone last night, performing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony with the surviving members of Nirvana, who were being inducted...
I've never been a big fan of an artist covering other artists music. Nine times out of ten, it never sounds good. But, every now and then...
Despite Lorde criticizing Taylor Swift last year, calling her kind of branding 'unattainable' for real girls, the two singers have become fast friends. Now their burgeoning relationship could lead to the recording studio.
It's been an extraordinary year for New Zealand singer/songwriter Lorde. The 17-year old (whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor) burst onto the music scene with the song 'Royals' which quickly went to the top of the charts, as did her debut album Pure Heroine. On 'Royals', Lorde sang about being the Queen Bee, and that's exactly what she is in the new video for her latest single, 'Team'.
I don't know how Selena Gomez is going to feel about her BFF lunching with the girl who called her music 'pathetic'. Maybe Taylor Swift was just trying to smooth things over with Lorde on Selena's behalf.
Lately, you've been hearing the song 'Royals' from Lorde (pronounced 'Lord') on SoJO. Here are a few interesting, and controversial things to know about the singer-songwriter from New Zealand.

Opinion: Obama's Gay Marriage Stance Melted Away my Cynicism, if Only for a Day
President Obama's announcement Wednesday of his evolving views on marriage equality can be met with an array of scoffing skepticism. Why did it take him so long? Didn't he already believe this and pretend not to for political reasons? If his stance had evolved, why was he waiting to say so? Will he actually act upon this in public policy or is was he carefully choosing words about this being a personal conviction? Did he do this just to appease donors? Why did he wait for polls, his party and Joe Biden to lead rather than leading himself?
Yet, despite all the cynicism and uncertainty about his motives and timing, and despite the fact that these are words and not action, I was genuinely excited.
I was happy in the way that melts away the cynicism, at least for an afternoon. I saw and heard the euphoria of friends - LGBT and allies - and how could I not be affected? I called my parents - not because this was a moment we'd been waiting for or because it was going to impact any of us directly, but because it felt like a notable moment in a historic arc that I wanted to share.
The president of the United State just came out for marriage equality. The last Democratic president signed the Defense of Marriage Act. John Kerry had to obfuscate and prevaricate as the subject was used to divide America. And yet now, in a relatively rapid march (that doesn't feel quick to those who are targeted by discriminatory laws), society has shifted, the debate has changed, and the leader of our country isn't taking a terrible risk to voice his support.
President Obama is not the leader on this issue. But he is our leader and one of the world's leaders, and therefore his stance is important. While we political junkies forget this, there are still many Americans who respect elected leaders and who will be moved by this announcement to evolve as well. There are people around the country for whom the "about time" quality of this shift will be a source of relief, affirmation and hope.
I don't have a strong sense of exactly the political calculus that made it happen know. I don't think a Biden gaffe changes presidential policy, or we'd be seeing such sudden moves far more often. Polls and donors played some roll; as did, in all likelihood, the president's own daughters growing up in a world with friends whose same-sex parents are as normal as everyone else's.
One poll that may have had special meaning: the dual realization that young American voters are identifying less as Democrats than they had four years ago, and more strongly for marriage equality than ever before. Even if this announcement isn't a sure thing for 2012, it is an investment in the future of the president's party.
The effect on November will be mixed (it's not a good way to keep North Carolina blue) - yet it does put Mitt Romney in a box. By appealing to his religious base he will chase moderates and young voters into Obama's camp while rallying the progressive base on the president's behalf. The more Romney is pushed to talk about marriage, the less he'll be talking about jobs, and the more distracted his campaign will become.
But if we can put politics aside for a minute - hard to do in the face of a political announcement on a political issue - it's just a mark that our country is moving the right direction. That's not true on every issue, so let's note when we make, for whatever reason, real progress.

You're better at this than you think
Submitted by Moiz Rizvi on
I'll come out and say it: programming is cool right now. And as much fun as it is to be a tech hipster, I have to admit that before I got to college I couldn't've cared less about coding and was actually slightly afraid of computers. (My $300 Toshiba would take so long to boot up I ended up writing a comical number of my college application essays on my phone.) I was lucky enough to transfer into computer science in the Fall of 2013 right before things got weird (refer to the remnant steam in the UTCS Facebook group for more details). So I wasn't here before it blew up.

The tour was very well run. Nick was a great tour leader. I was a bit disappointed that we only had 5 stops, one of which was an oil and vinegar store (not a great food experience) and another was a chocolate shop (very small samples). The tour was advertised as 2.5 hours but ran just over 2 hours. Still, I would recommend this to someone new to food tours, but those who tour often might feel shortchanged.

Best foodie tour in Santa Fe!!

The perfect tour for combining basic Santa Fe history with delectable New Mexico cuisine. Our guides Nick and Erica we're both passionate about Santa Fe restaurants and food, and full of helpful ideas for things to do/see around the Santa Fe area. I felt like this to her what it's worth easily twice its price and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to understand more about Santa Fe history, culture, and cuisine.

I enjoyed the walking tasting tour very much. The green chile stew was excellent and a new taste for me. I also greatly enjoyed the enchilada and Chili Rellenos. Our guide Nick was very informative and was able to give us insight as to the cuisine of New Mexico. The chocolate and olive oil and vinegar tastings were also a lot of fun. I think this is a great way to expose yourself to Santa Fe.

We had friends from out of town visiting so we thought a restaurant tour would be a great way to see the city. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the food and history of Santa Fe. He had a great personality. My friends are still talking about the tour. The restaurants on the Sample Santa Fe tour were wonderful. The food was delicious and portions were great. We would definitely take another tour.

LANGSTON — Narrow the focus to expand the vision.
That's the perspective of Langston University President Kent J. Smith.
Smith leads a university that spans campuses in Langston, Oklahoma City and Tulsa with more than 2,500 students.
Langston University President Kent J. Smith says students must be prepared for opportunities when they arise.
LANGSTON — Narrow the focus to expand the vision.
That's the perspective of Langston University President Kent J. Smith.
Smith leads a university that spans campuses in Langston, Oklahoma City and Tulsa with more than 2,500 students.
When asked to look 20 years into the future of Langston, the community and the state, Smith narrowed the focus. He provided an example of how a nurtured vision can expand and bring great possibilities.
"It comes down to one opportunity," said Smith, 42. "You have to be prepared and have a skill set, a certain outlook to accept that opportunity."
Before coming to Langston in 2012, he served in academic positions at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio; Auburn University in Alabama; Case Western Reserve University in Ohio; and Cleveland State University.
Smith also served as assistant director of black student services and adjunct professor of education at Colorado State University.
What it doesn't show is the one opportunity — or, rather, one couple — who held a greater vision for Smith than he had for himself. But the Baton Rouge, La., native believed in their vision and has followed it all the way to the president's position at Langston.
Langston University is recognized for several programs, including biology, biotechnology, chemistry, entrepreneur studies, goat research, international education, physical therapy, rehabilitation counseling and urban education, Smith said.
Founded on March 12, 1897, under the second Morrill Act of 1890, Langston University was officially designated as the Colored Agricultural and Normal University by Oklahoma Territorial House Bill 151.
On Sept. 3, 1898, with an initial budget of $5,000, the school opened in a Presbyterian church in Langston, northeast of Guthrie, then the capital of Oklahoma Territory.
Eighty years later, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education assigned an urban mission to the university that resulted in the establishment of campuses in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
"We're more diverse than people realize," Smith said.
He said clearly his predecessors have done a good job in establishing great programs. Now, he will strive to move the university forward.
That, in turn, will be important for Oklahoma, Smith said.
"The reality is we are a public institution and we can't afford to be on an island as a university," he said. "The truth is universities are economic engines. Some people don't understand how we affect the economies of the state. When you think of the graduates, even if you bring in a large proportion of your students from out of state, believe it or not, many will wind up staying in the state, contributing tax dollars and contributing to the greater good of the state."
Smith, who praised the instructors, staff and students of Langston, said he would like to see the university grow to about 4,000 to 5,000 students.
What will it take? Maybe one opportunity, he said.
Norman St. Amant was the dean of the junior division at Southern University in Baton Rouge during Smith's undergraduate studies. But they'd known each other since Smith was a child. They didn't talk that often.

Why Can't I Download or Print the Journal?
In the recent re-design of the Society's website, there was much discussion around the issue of the availability of the journal at the site, and how best to provide our members with the information they would like to use and browse in the most accessible way, without creating unnecessary risks for the Society, its authors and contributors.
Not to engage in a lengthy recounting of every part of the debate, but part of the issues were copyright related. In some cases, the Society has very limited authority with respect to publishing the submissions of our authors, and in other cases, particularly the submissions to early issues, the work is not yet in the public domain. Interestingly, in other cases we had several authors who were extremely sensitive to the inclusion of images of objects they own, and concern over those images being replicated without permission.
The solution reached, after much thoughtful discussion, was that we would make all the issues of Paper Money available "behind the firewall" to our members only. Since membership has its privileges, we felt that the ability to access any article online, at any time, much as a library would work, made the most sense, protecting our authors' and members' interests.

iPhone is and is not. Noted analyst and Engadget pal Michael Gartenberg stated that the iPhone is first party software ONLY -- i.e. not a smartphone by conventional terms, being that a smartphone is a platform device that allows software to be installed. That means hungry power-users -- you know, those people ready and willing to plunk down $600 for an 8GB musicphone -- won't be able to extend the functionality of their phone any more than Apple (but thankfully not Cingular) dictates. Other unfortunate realities about the device:
- No 3G. We know you know, but still, it hurts man.
- No over the air iTunes Store downloads or WiFi syncing to your host machine.
- No expandable memory.
- No removable battery.
- No Exchange or Office support.

Great Shampoo!
Posted by Reviewer1484071 on Jun 22, 2009
This is the first time I've used this shampoo and I have no complaints. I was bothered by itchy flaky scalp and since I'm a big fan of Avalon Organics, I decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. My itchy flaky scalp disappeared after just two shampoos and it hasn't returned. This WILL be my regular shampoo from now on.
Great shampoo!

I'm so glad that I got this shampoo! This winter, my scalp was so itchy, and dry...after just one use of this product, I could tell the difference! I haven't had any flakes or itchiness since I have started using this shampoo! I feel like my scalp is actually healthy. What a great deal!

Owner's relief as plumber helps rescue cat trapped for 24 hours under floorboards
Claire Maxwell, Reporter / / News
The freeing of a cat that had been stuck under the floorboards of its home for more than 24 hours was described as "like giving birth to a baby" by its owner.
Nala, a black and white cat belonging to Flora Couidhou from Abbots Langley, was trapped for 24 hours after it found a hole by the kitchen sink, squeezed its way through and then couldn't get back out again.
Ms Couidhou said: "Nala managed to find a little hole in the corner of under the sink, managed to squeeze himself through it and the outside of the hole was covered in his fur. We've just moved home and he's not taken it well which is why he's trying to hide in places.
"I didn't hear anything from him for 24 hours and it was really worrying. I rang the builder and he said Nala could literally be anywhere under the floorboards in the downstairs of the house. So it's like, where do you start? It's a big area.
"I would have expected to hear a cry but there was absolutely nothing. My main concern was that he'd hurt himself getting through the hole and was bleeding or maybe even dying, god forbid."
The 44-year-old called the fire brigade who told her the best thing to do would be to find a plumbing company who would come to their house with an under-floor camera.
Promoted stories
She said: "That's what I did. I got onto Dyno-rod, who were really nice and concerned. Managed to speak to a guy, Tony, who said he'd come round. He actually said I've got a job on but this sounds more important."
The plumber managed to locate Nala and the builder was called, who cut a hole in the floor and freed the cat.
Ms Couidhou said: "It was like giving birth to a baby. He was completely trapped and stuck and we had to wedge him out. He was alright after that. I think he got off lightly."
Tony Bodell, an engineer at Dyno-rod who helped free Nala, said: "I was on call and a lady was put through to me who said her cat was stuck under the floorboards and she needed to find someone with a camera. I said yes of course I'll come and take a look.
"We found the cat but I actually thought it was dead because it wasn't moving. Luckily though it was just because it was wedged in and when it got out it was very placid and seemed fine."
Once Nala was out of the floorboards she had something to eat and went straight to sleep.
Ms Couidhou added: "The builder and the plumber were absolutely amazing. The amount of care they showed was incredible, they went beyond the call of duty for us and we're so grateful."

I'm glad for the owner, and more to the point cat that it has been rescued. But is this really news?
Anyone found that petrol cap yet?

It is nice to hear some good news now and again as opposed to negative headlines all the time. Glad to hear it all worked out well for Ms Couidhou (what a great name!) and the cat in end.
