Fun to drive! Great power. Great value for the dollar.
Eventually rode rough on the road- Too 'go-carty' where you would feel every little bump in the road.
Fun, Great Value Care For Any Commuter Without A Need For Much Space — Awesome car that is a great value for the dollar. Fun to drive, and fun to burn past other comparable-sized sedans. Very go-cart like ride. The fuel economy is good on a manual transmission and you can definitely get 22 mpg city even when driving fairly aggressive.

2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V Review
I love it's acceleration, the sound of the Nismo Cold Air Intake, the exhaust tone through the stainless muffler, and the exterior/interior styling.
Bought this particular Spec V knowing it was branded a lemon, and found out why 1-2 months after buying. One of the two crankshaft thrust washers had fallen out not long after vehicle was assembled and I had to replace the engine due to the damage that was done to the block. This is 1 out of 2 big problems I've had with the car. The 2nd problem was the clear coat decided to come off almost the whole car resulting in a new paint job.
My First Exciting Daily Driver — I looked at purchasing a Spec V for quite a while before finding this one. I hadn't even driven one before checking out this car. I was mostly wanting it for it's exterior/interior styling. After driving I found I had to have it, for the right price. After owning it for several years this is what I think. I love how well it handles, the power considering it's a 4 cylinder, and shifting it's 6 speed transmission. Not sure how fast it actually is, but it feels fast. I always get 27-29 MPG, which is very good. The suspension is tight, you do feel every bump in the road. The back seat is rough riding, but luckily I am usually driving. It has cost me a chunk of cash in repairs, but it wasn't perfect when I purchased it in 2008.

Its still a sentra
Nissan Sentra Se-r Specification Victory — Enough get up and go to be fun, handling is awesome even with stock spec-v suspension, braking is average. Build quality is decent with above average interior compared to most domestics. Has some rattles and squeaks but its a sentra for god sakes. The spec-v body kit type thing in the front makes the car look 100 times better than the regular sentra. The red seats for the 02 spec-v model is a nice racy touch to the interior. Maintenance is above average and so is gas mileage. Car is very fun to drive especially in the corners.

Pretty much everything!
Nothing, really...
Cool Car! — This car has excellent power and (mainly) torque for a naturally aspirated 4cyl engine, handles pretty well (despite some torque steer) and the braking is good. And it's roomy for a compact. Compared to its competitors is a fun car that will make you smile when you drive it...

The looks, and the torque.
if you don't lower the spec v and install a lower tie bar in the rear, car power slide a lot at high speed, but if you install those two, car is good to go.
Torquee Car — i love the car! here in colorado is kind of hard seeing one around, so i like the fact that is unique car to see in the streets. Planning on doing more mods to it in the future, im just saving a little more money to buy an xterra and start the project on my spec v.

The five speed transmission
The appearance, performance, quality
First And Only Time Having This Car — Primarily it is a fuel efficient car that has too much torque with the manual transmission, the only reason my five speed is quick is that is has so much torque. I do not enjoy driving in the rain the wheels spin constantly. it is a quick fun car but really just a cheaply priced second hand prius.

Its geared a little low.
Great Commuter Car — The car handles good and is really good on gas but its geared a little low but i guess thats because its a little car. The car is fun to drive and the car looks a little sporty. A good thing about this car is that they make a lot of aftermarket parts for it.

Basically it will be a secret door entrance on the base level of Proudspire manor, a similar set up to the blades hide out at river wood. The closet/secret door will a have stair case that will lead down to the crypt were there will be a coffin for your vampire character to rest. The coffin will set on a tiered floor kind of like it does in Alva's cellar.

I'm not advanced enough to make this happen, I can help with testing if a talented modder wants to take up this project. I have played through the DG dlc and the castles are not really that good imo, I still think the player houses are better I just want to make Proudspire a little more fitting for my vampire lord once Dawnguard comes out.
I'll donate a game of the modders choice via steam as a gift.

National Futures Association Politely Requests That Jon Corzine Apply For Membership So That It Can Ban Him For Life
Earlier this week, the NFA met to discuss the possibility of a lifetime ban of Jon Corzine from the futures industry. Two directors in particular– John Roe and James Koutoulas– wanted him out and wanted him out bad. Guy thought he could take down a once proud brokerage firm for yuks and then get off scot free? He had another thing coming, Roe and Koutoulas probably said to each other while putting the finishing touches on a press release they planned to send out announcing the news, in addition to skywriting plane they put a deposit on to spell out "Hit the bricks, pal," over Corzine's house. Unfortunately, the duo will most likely lose their $150 and most definitely have to save the party hats they sent others to pick up for another time. It seems in their excitement to tell JSC that he was "finished here," Roe and Koutalas failed to make sure he was actually a member of their organization.
Exchange Follies: Consolidated Tape Edition
Just weeks after telling Congress that doing their jobs has become too damned hard, the stock exchanges are providing more evidence.

Seems it went out for about an hour at the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, making it tough to see in anyone had traded in 165 unimportant securities like State Street Corp. stock. And NYSE's snafu follows a consolidated tape screw-up at Nasdaq last week; while NYSE's server error only messed with some of its stocks, Nasdaq's consolidated tape feed went totally blank on Thursday.
Hiring Watch '12: UBS Was Just Joking When It Fired Scores Of Employees In The Harshest Ways Imaginable
Remember last week when UBS called New York based employees the day after Hurricane Sandy to tell them they no longer had a job, and communicated the same news to London-based staff by deactivating their ID cards and cutting off their email access? The bank is hoping everyone is at the point where they can laugh about all that, as apparently management got a bit overzealous with its firings– these things happen in the heat of the moment– and actually let go of a few too many people, who are now being offered their jobs back.
UBS has brought back several employees who were put on leave when it unveiled a drastic pullback from fixed income last week, and more could follow, sources familiar with the situation said. The Swiss bank stopped dozens of traders from reaching their desks in London last Tuesday, when it unveiled an exit from most of its rates and bond trading businesses in a strategic overhaul that will lead to 10,000 global layoffs. The bankers were placed on special leave until further notice, while in the United States UBS fired several fixed-income employees by phone. UBS has already brought back a small handful of employees who were on leave, two people familiar with the matter said. It could also ask more to return or rehire some where needed, said three other sources, including UBS insiders, adding that some desks were now too thinly staffed to operate properly, if they were desks the bank ultimately wanted to keep going.
No hard feelings?

Battle competing, wants Vols offer
Brandon Battle knows where he wants to go and the stage he wants to play on.
Now all the 6-foot-2, 175-pound pro-style quarterback from Waldorf, Md., needs is an offer.
"I really would like to get offered from here," Battle, a class of 2015 QB, told VolQuest.com after Saturday's quarterback camp wrapped up inside Neyland Stadium in referencing the University of Tennessee.
Battle, from North Point High School, has offers from Hampton, James Madison, North Carolina Central and Toledo. Maryland, Temple and UCF are also on his recruitment's radar.
A visit from Tennessee offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian at his school "a couple weeks ago" prompted Battle's trip to Knoxville for the quarterback camp, where ESPN NFL analyst and former Super Bowl-winning head coach Jon Gruden was the headline instructor for the roughly 150 campers.
"It was a really good camp for me," Battle said. "I enjoyed myself and the coaching staff. It was great work."
Battle said he's stayed in contact with Bajakian and Tennessee offensive graduate assistant Nick Sheridan, including this weekend's camp where he worked with the Vols' staff.
It was his first trip to Knoxville and visit to Neyland Stadium. And it didn't take him long to make up his mind once he got into town.
"Beautiful," Battle said. "It's definitely the platform I want to play on."
Now if he can only get an offer. That and a few more minutes with Gruden.
"Not as much as I wanted to, but I got some time," Battle said with a laugh. "It was definitely impressive. He's a great coach."

Display caption
Although Turner had produced paintings of Italian subjects earlier in his career, it wasn't until 1819, when he was forty-four, that he finally toured the country himself. Having prepared thoroughly for this important journey beforehand, he spent
a rigorous few months sketching and painting in Turin, Milan, Venice and Ancona, before arriving in Rome.
Here, Turner has used a very free,
wet-on-wet watercolour technique
in broad bands of pure colour. The foreground effect may have been achieved with the addition of gum arabic, to slow down the drying of the paint and allow him to drive it around on the paper.

Awakening of the Heart
Turiya Hanover
A respected teacher of Osho meditation, relationship counseling, and couples therapy, German-born Turiya Hanover promises to help listeners transform "hate and anger to love, bitterness and resentment into compassion" in her superb CD, Awakening of the Heart. The disc is broken up into two tracks; the first finds Hanover guiding a meditation of awakening. She has a pleasantly maternal German-accented voice, raspy and centered, that fuses strength and focus with a playful sense of mildness and calm. Unobtrusive and almost dreamlike in her cadence, it's clear Hanover knows how to reach your innermost ear.

Chuck Liddell must retire from UFC if Rashad Evans defeats him
Chuck Liddell should retire if he loses to Rashad Evans. Simple as.
Tough call: UFC may have to call time on a legend if he loses
With all due respect to Rashad, he is not destined for the heights of the UFC light heavyweight division. He is a great competitor, great athlete, clearly a wrestler of note, but not a great fighter in the tradition of great mixed martial arts exponents. Flashes of it here and there, but he does not have a fighter's instinct.
Of course, he won the heavyweight tournament in TUF Series, yet from every conceivable angle, a Liddell loss to Evans should spell the end. Forget the legend fighting on.
In fact, Dana White, the UFC President should be throwing the towel into the Octagon to close down the big man's career.
It is not because Liddell is going to get hurt in there, yet if he is going to lose to Evans, there are a raft of middle-ranking light-heavys out there who would and could beat him. The mighty should not be allowed to fall so far.
I asked White and Liddell about this very subject when they were in the UK two months ago – although we were talking about Matt Hughes at the time – and White, in real honesty, admitted that he had never had to ask one of the legends of the sport to hang up their mitts.
He added it had not got to that stage for him yet with the UFC, because it is a young sport, still developing since Zuffa's takeover in 2001, and he admitted then that calling time on the people he and the sport have grown up with would be one of the toughest calls he would have faced so far. We are a couple of weeks away from that outcome if Liddell loses.
The analogy between Matt Hughes retiring if he lost to Thiago Alves – he did lose, and he didn't retire afterwards – applies just as candidly to Liddell's career, although the big man himself defended, in that discussion, the fact that age in mixed martial arts is not necessarily an issue if you have not been in war after war in the Octagon. Yet there is the distinct scent before this contest that the humiliation of defeat against Evans would be almost unbearable for a man who has become a UFC flagship name in the last five years.
Liddell beat Tito Ortiz twice, Randy Couture twice, both great wrestlers, yet Evans is hardly in their league. In his prime, a fight, let alone a loss to Evans would have been unthinkable. Evans' style of fighting has not proved successful against Liddell over the years.
Evans is fast, can be hurtful with his hands, can strike, but can be discouraged, and has a tendency to let others make mistakes and get tired.
Liddell himself has questioned Evans's ability to take his opponents down, and when you consider that one of Liddell's greatest defensive assets is his amazing sprawl, one of the best in the sport – Ortiz could not take him down once and is/was an amazing wrestler, nor indeed could Couture in the last two fights he had with Liddell – it is difficult to see where Evans will exploit weaknesses to melt 'The Iceman'.
That remains the bottom line. Hard to see how Evans defeats Liddell. If he does, curtains on his career.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — United States teams claimed six of the nine championship Cups at the 30th ITF Super-Seniors World Team Championships hosted by Club Ali Bey Manavgat in Antalya, Turkey. The event is the senior tennis equivalent of the Davis Cup and Fed Cup team competitions, with the top American tennis players representing their country in the 60, 65, 70 and 75 age groups. In addition there also was a men's 80-plus age group.
The United States had chances to claim all nine championship Cups as each of the U.S. teams reached the final in their respective age divisions. In the end, the Americans won three Cups in the men's divisions, including the Von Cramm Cup (60 and over), the Britannia Cup (65 and over) and the Bitsy Grant Cup (75 and over); and three in the women's division, including the Alice Marble Cup (60 and over), the Althea Gibson Cup (70 and over) and the Queens' Cup (75 and over). The other three teams finished runners-up in the men's Jack Crawford Cup and Gardner Mulloy Cup, and in the women's Kitty Godfree Cup.
Former Millennium SportsClub Director of Tennis Martha Downing of Shingle Springs was one of the winners, joining teammates Brenda Carter, Carol Clay, and Kerry Young to bring home the Alice Marble Cup. It was Downing's second trip to Turkey to play at Club Ali Bey Manavgat and the second time her team came away with the trophy.
Although still actively teaching and holding clinics here, Downing, who played tennis at Stanford University, stepped down from her position at Millennium to return to competitive tennis playing in the 50-59 Seniors division. In the spring of 2009 she began playing in the 60 and older division.
The strong showing improves upon the stellar results the American teams had last year, as they came into the 2010 tournament as the defending champions in two of the nine divisions (Britannia Cup and Bitsy Grant Cup) and finished in the top three in all nine divisions in 2009.
The ITF Super-Seniors World Team Championships is the most prestigious team event on the ITF Seniors circuit. Since its inception in 1981, the number of competitors taking part in this event has increased each year. In 1993, the ITF made the decision to divide the Seniors World Championships into two groups — Seniors (35-55) and Super-Seniors (60-80 for men and 60-75 for women).
* Alice Marble Cup – Women's 60 and over
1. Brenda Carter, Charleston, S.C.
2. Carol Clay, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Captain
3. Martha Downing, Shingle Springs, Calif.
4. Kerry Young, Maitland, Fla.

Video Perspective: Topre Type Heaven Keyboard
Subject: General Tech | December 18, 2013 - 06:20 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, Type Heaven, topre, keyboard
I don't consider myself a keyboard guru, but I sure do go through a lot of them in my line of work. At any of five different workstations in our office I'll be using a different keyboard. And we tend to interchange them often enough that I would guess I have typed on as many as 15 different keyboards this year. Some for longer periods of time than others of course, but the ones that make it to my main desk get quite a workout.
When our friends at Seasonic told us they wanted to send along a Topre Type Heaven keyboard for us to try out, I told them to feel free; but in my head I was thinking "oh geez another keyboard." Turns out I didn't give this brand and this keyboard enough credit out the gate.
(Note: Seasonic is the official distributor of the Topre keyboard brand in the US now and offers a 2 year warranty on the units!)
With a price tag of $150 on Amazon.com, there are going to quite of few of you that just instantly turn off. Understandable. Others though will appreciate the need for a high quality input device if you do any appreciable amount of typing for work or pleasure. Using a technology called electrostatic capacitive key switches, Topre combines benefits of Cherry and standard membrane keyboards in one package.
Check out my video above for some sound comparison as well as my thoughts on using the keyboard long term. Not to spoil it: but I'm keeping this keyboard on my desk despite me missing the multimedia controls of my previous keyboard.
Check below for more photos of the Topre Type Heaven keyboard!!
The First Custom R9 290X
It has been a crazy launch for the AMD Radeon R9 series of graphics cards. When we first reviewed both the R9 290X and the R9 290, we came away very impressed with the GPU and the performance it provided. Our reviews of both products resulted in awards of the Gold class. The 290X was a new class of single GPU performance while the R9 290 nearly matched performance at a crazy $399 price tag.
But there were issues. Big, glaring issues. Clock speeds had a huge amount of variance depending on the game and we saw a GPU that was rated as "up to 1000 MHz" running at 899 MHz in Skyrim and 821 MHz in Bioshock Infinite. Those are not insignificant deltas in clock rate that nearly perfectly match deltas in performance. These speeds also changed based on the "hot" or "cold" status of the graphics card - had it warmed up and been active for 10 minutes prior to testing? If so, the performance was measurably lower than with a "cold" GPU that was just started.
That issue was not necessarily a deal killer; rather, it just made us rethink how we test GPUs. The fact that many people were seeing lower performance on retail purchased cards than with the reference cards sent to press for reviews was a much bigger deal. In our testing in November the retail card we purchased, that was using the exact same cooler as the reference model, was running 6.5% slower than we expected.
The obvious hope was the retail cards with custom PCBs and coolers would be released from AMD partners and somehow fix this whole dilemma. Today we see if that was correct.

A slightly smaller MARS
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 was released in June of 2013. Based on the same GK104 GPU as the GTX 680, GTX 670 and GTX 770, the GTX 760 disabled a couple more of the clusters of processor cores to offer up impressive performance levels for a lower cost than we had seen previously. My review of the GTX 760 was very positive as NVIDIA had priced it aggressively against the competing products from AMD.
As for ASUS, they have a storied history with the MARS brand. Typically an over-built custom PCB with two of the highest end NVIDIA GPUs stapled together, the ASUS MARS cards have been limited edition products with a lot of cache around them. The first MARS card was a dual GTX 285 product that was the first card to offer 4GB of memory (though 2GB per GPU of course). The MARS II took a pair of GTX 580 GPUs and pasted them on a HUGE card and sold just 1000 of them worldwide. It was heavy, expensive and fast; blazing fast. But at a price of $1200+ it wasn't on the radar of most PC gamers.
Interestingly, the MARS iteration for the GTX 680 never occurred and why that is the case is still a matter of debate. Some point the finger at poor sales and ASUS while others think that NVIDIA restricted ASUS' engineers from being as creative as they needed to be.
Today's release of the ASUS ROG MARS 760 is a bit different - this is still a high end graphics card but it doesn't utilize the fastest single-GPU option on the market. Instead ASUS has gone with a more reasonable design that combines a pair of GTX 760 GK104 GPUs on a single PCB with a PCI Express bridge chip between them. The MARS 760 is significantly smaller and less power hungry than previous MARS cards but it is still able to pack a punch in the performance department as you'll soon see.

NVIDIA G-Sync Monitors Limited Availability Starting Today
Subject: Displays | December 16, 2013 - 09:11 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, vg248qe, nvidia, gsync, g-sync, asus
It looks like some G-Sync ready monitors are going to be on sale starting today, though perhaps not from the outlets you would have expected. NVIDIA let me know last night that they are working with partners, including ASUS obviously, to make a small amount of pre-modified ASUS VG248QE G-Sync monitors available for purchase. These are the same monitors we used in our recent G-Sync preview story so you should check that article out if you want our opinions on the display and the technology.
Those people selling the displays? Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, Maingear, and Overlord Computer. This creates some unfortunate requirements on potential buyers. For example, Falcon Northwest is only selling the panels to users that either are buying a new Falcon PC or already own a Falcon custom system. Digital Storm on the other hand WILL sell the monitor on its own or allow you to send in your VG248QE monitor to have the upgrade service done for you. The monitor alone will sell for $499 while the upgrade price (with module included) is $299.
This distribution model for G-Sync technology likely isn't what users wanted or expected. After all, we were promised upgrade kits for users of that specific ASUS VG248QE display and we still do not have data on how NVIDIA plans to sell them or distribute them. Being able to purchase the display from these resellers above is at least SOMETHING before the holiday, but it really isn't the way we would like to see G-Sync showcased. NVIDIA needs to get these products in the hands of gamers sooner rather than later.
NVIDIA also prepared a new video to showcase G-Sync. Unlike other marketing videos this one wasn't placed on YouTube as the ability for it to run at a fixed 60 FPS is a strict requirement, something that YouTube can't do or can't do reliably. For this video's demonstration to work correctly you need set your display to a 60 Hz refresh rate and you should use a video player capable of maintaining the static 60 FPS content decoding.
To grab a copy of this video, you can use the link right here that will download the file directly from Mega.co.nz. It should help demonstrate the effects us using a G-Sync enabled display for users that don't have access to see one in person.
Oh, and I know that LOTS of you have been clamoring for information on how you can get your hands on one of those DIY G-Sync upgrade kits for yourself and I have some good news. Though I can't tell you where to buy one or how much it will cost, I can offer you one of 5 FREE G-Sync ASUS VG248QE upgrade kits through a giveaway we are hosting at PC Perspective! Check out this page for the details!!
A not-so-simple set of instructions
Valve released to the world the first beta of SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system built specifically for PC gaming, on Friday evening. We have spent quite a lot of time discussing and debating the merits of SteamOS, but this weekend we wanted to do an installation of the new OS on a system and see how it all worked.
Our full video tutorial of installing and configuring SteamOS
First up was selecting the hardware for the build. As is usually the case, we had a nearly-complete system sitting around that needed some tweaks. Here is a quick list of the hardware we used, with a discussion about WHY just below.
|Gaming Build
|Intel Core i5-4670K - $222
|EVGA Z87 Stinger Mini ITX Motherboard - $257
|Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1866 MHz (2 x 4GB) - $109
|Graphics Card
|NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB - $999
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB SuperClocked - $349
|Samsung 840 EVO Series 250GB SSD - $168
|EVGA Hadron Mini ITX Case - $189
|Power Supply
|Included with Case
|Optical Drive
|Slot loading DVD Burnder - $36
|Peak Compute
|Total Price
We definitely weren't targeting a low cost build with this system, but I think we did create a very powerful system to test SteamOS on. First up was the case, the new EVGA Hadron Mini ITX chassis. It's small, which is great for integration into your living room, yet can still hold a full power, full-size graphics card.
The motherboard we used was the EVGA Z87 Stinger Mini ITX - an offering that Morry just recently reviewed and recommended. Supporting the latest Intel Haswell processors, the Stinger includes great overclocking options and a great feature set that won't leave enthusiasts longing for a larger motherboard.

Video Perspective: GPU Shortages and Litecoin Mining Discussion
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 12, 2013 - 05:20 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, amd, radeon, hawaii, r9 290, R9 290X, bitcoin, litecoin, mining
If you already listened to this weeks PC Perspective Podcast, then feel free to disregard this post. For the rest of you - subscribe to our damned weekly podcast would you already?!?
In any event, I thought it might be interesting to extract this 6 minute discussion we had during last nights live streamed podcast about how the emergence of Litecoin mining operations is driving up prices of GPUs, particularly the compute-capable R9 290 and R9 290X Hawaii-based cards from AMD.
Check out these prices currently on Amazon!
- Radeon R9 290X - $725+
- Radeon R9 290 - $499+
- Radeon R9 280X - $429+
- GeForce GTX 770 - $409+
- GeForce GTX 780 - $509+
- GeForce GTX 780 Ti - $699+
The price of the GTX 770 is a bit higher than it should be while the GTX 780 and GTX 780 Ti are priced in the same range they have been for the last month or so. The same cannot be said for the AMD cards listed here - the R9 280X is selling for $130 more than its expected MSRP at a minimum but you'll see quite a few going for much higher on Amazon, Ebay (thanks TR) and others. The Radeon R9 290 has an MSRP of $399 from AMD but the lowest price we found on Amazon was $499 and anything on Newegg.com is showing at the same price, but sold out. The R9 290X is even more obnoxiously priced when you can find them.
Do you have any thoughts on this? Do you think Litecoin mining is really causing these price inflations and what does that mean for AMD, NVIDIA and the gamer?
Quality time with G-Sync
Readers of PC Perspective will already know quite alot about NVIDIA's G-Sync technology. When it was first unveiled in October we were at the event and were able to listen to NVIDIA executives, product designers and engineers discuss and elaborate on what it is, how it works and why it benefits gamers. This revolutionary new take on how displays and graphics cards talk to each other enables a new class of variable refresh rate monitors that will offer up the smoothness advantages of having V-Sync off, while offering the tear-free images normally reserved for gamers enabling V-Sync.
NVIDIA's Prototype G-Sync Monitor
We were lucky enough to be at NVIDIA's Montreal tech day while John Carmack, Tim Sweeney and Johan Andersson were on stage discussing NVIDIA G-Sync among other topics. All three developers were incredibly excited about G-Sync and what it meant for gaming going forward.
Also on that day, I published a somewhat detailed editorial that dug into the background of V-sync technology, why the 60 Hz refresh rate existed and why the system in place today is flawed. This basically led up to an explanation of how G-Sync works, including integration via extending Vblank signals and detailed how NVIDIA was enabling the graphics card to retake control over the entire display pipeline.
In reality, if you want the best explanation of G-Sync, how it works and why it is a stand-out technology for PC gaming, you should take the time to watch and listen to our interview with NVIDIA's Tom Petersen, one of the primary inventors of G-Sync. In this video we go through quite a bit of technical explanation of how displays work today, and how the G-Sync technology changes gaming for the better. It is a 1+ hour long video, but I selfishly believe that it is the most concise and well put together collection of information about G-Sync for our readers.
The story today is more about extensive hands-on testing with the G-Sync prototype monitors. The displays that we received this week were modified versions of the 144Hz ASUS VG248QE gaming panels, the same ones that will in theory be upgradeable by end users as well sometime in the future. These monitors are TN panels, 1920x1080 and though they have incredibly high refresh rates, aren't usually regarded as the highest image quality displays on the market. However, the story about what you get with G-Sync is really more about stutter (or lack thereof), tearing (or lack thereof), and a better overall gaming experience for the user.

An aurora is a dramatic display of colored light seen in the night sky above the polar regions. In the Southern Hemisphere this phenomenon is known as the Aurora Australis, or Southern lights. An aurora occurs when charged particles emitted from the sun interact with Earth's magnetosphere. The solar particles stream toward the poles, colliding with atoms of nitrogen and oxygen in the upper atmosphere. Akin to the process that operates in a neon light, the collisions create glowing gases seen as dancing ribbons and arcs of mesmerising light comprising thousands of colors.

Peter Dobrin, Inquirer Classical Music Critic
Even if you remember nothing else of Elgar's Symphony No. 1, you leave the hall with the great, noble theme of the first movement taking up permanent residence in your consciousness.
The theme is an emotional anthem, but a ghostly one — almost a remembrance of better days. It's also a red herring. This is a symphony with a main theme anyone can hum, and yet a work of such cunning sophistication that no one has been able to firmly establish keys for long stretches of the symphony. Elgar — toying with the idea of the dissolution of tonality, but on his own terms — speaks on many levels.
So does Andrew Davis, 66, the sporadic caretaker of this orchestra since 1975, who led the piece Thursday night at the Kimmel Center. The English-born Chicago maestro gets a pleasantly plump sound from the Philadelphia Orchestra, but is careful about balancing important voices. He's not a big taker of chances, but, as an opera conductor (who shares a conducting teacher with Riccardo Muti), he is often there with some wonderful emotional highs. When that great theme reasserts itself at the end of the piece it's no longer pensive and merely stately, but set off against fireworks. Davis paced its arrival point beautifully.
This orchestra accesses Elgar by way of Wagner and Strauss, and was comfortable enough under Davis in the middle two movements to achieve some remarkably emotional moments. Solos were short but trenchant, filled with individuality but deftly emerging from the ensemble: hornist Jeffrey Lang, oboist Peter Smith, English hornist Elizabeth Starr Masoudnia, and a hushed-as-"Nimrod" string section.
Davis pared down the orchestra for two works of Mozart, and yet the orchestra sounded no less assured for the exposure of individual instruments. The Overture to La clemenza di Tito, K. 621, was a crisp burst of energy.
Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 4 in D Major, K. 218 doesn't offer the composer's greatest obvious potential for interpretive depth, but with Boston-born Stefan Jackiw, 24, the piece seemed to grow. Passages lurking with etude-like tedium were brought to life when the violinist endowed a single note in the series with his unusually deep tone. His first-movement cadenza was the kind of triumph of personality you wanted to cheer, not so much for its heroism as a sound so saturated and vibrant it sounded like a living thing. For the close doublings between Jackiw and oboist Smith you could thank the small size of the ensemble, but also Davis, who consistently laid down an orchestral part transparent enough for the soloist to thrive.

Ray Chen, a 21-year-old violinist student at the Curtis Institute of Music, has been picked up by Sony Classical.
His first release, planned for the end of this year, will show him in works of Bach, Sarasate and others. Another, in 2011, is to feature virtuoso 19th-century pieces with orchestra.
Sony Classical president Bogdan Roscic didn't spare the next-big-thing-by-association accolades in a prepared statement:

From Friday's Inquirer:
If Gerald Finley hadn't been a bass-baritone, he might have ended up a particularly charismatic storyteller. Of course, as a singer he's both, but not all vocalists subscribe to his philosophy of primary fidelity to the word.
The Montreal-born Finley, 50, who made his Philadelphia Chamber Music Society debut Wednesday night at the Perelman Theater, has everything a singer's toolbox needs — a gorgeous instrument, an ear for color, spot-on intonation. But the greater part of his charm, especially in songs of Ravel, Ives, and Barber, comes by way of his large gift for conveying a tale.
Not that the Schumann/Heine songs making up the first half of his recital with pianist Julius Drake were wanting. He shaded his sound specifically to each song, sometimes even within a single piece. In "Belsazar," he toggled between Wagnerian heroics and more subtle Schubertian text painting. He often modulated his vibrato, and if his sound perhaps grew too bald and cold at one end of the spectrum, he was quick to warm it up again. Sometimes Finley so closely blended with Drake's left hand in pitch, duration of notes, and even timbre that it constituted a form of mind reading.
Finley's emotional involvement with Ravel's Histoires Naturelles was on a different, higher level. Drake set down highly developed mood markers — the lumbering feeling of a peacock's day, the nervous protestations of a cricket, the sense of time being suspended and breath held as a kingfisher touches down on your fishing pole. Has a musical bestiary ever been rendered more sensually anthropomorphic? Finley slipped into a conversational intimacy, though it worked only because he had the technical command to underline certain words with a whisper of vague pitch or an expansive and exquisitely detailed full-throttle phrase.
In "Charlie Rutledge," one of five (including an encore) Ives songs, Finley applied a Western accent to sung and spoken words — let's call it Texas Sprechstimme. The accent worked — and here, and in "The Green-Eyed Dragon" (music Charles Wolseley, words Greatrex Newman), it suddenly seemed that Finley had become a cabaret artist.
In introducing the encore (with its genially suspenseful series of ascending notes beautifully paced by Drake's left hand), Finley said he does what he does because of John Charles Thomas. The early-20th-century baritone moved among opera, operetta, and Broadway in a career that resisted clear genre classification. Finley, in recital, echoed that great singing needs neat categories no more now than then.

In 1970, at the 113th Academy of Music Anniversary Concert, Philadelphia Orchestra music director Eugene Ormandy was presented with a gift to honor his 70th - the Happy Birthday Variations.
Eighteen composers each contributed a variation - Bernstein, Copland, Orff, Persichetti, Virgil Thomson, Miklós Rózsa among them.
Today, in honor of the 100th anniversary of Samuel Barber's birth in West Chester, Pa., we remember Barber, who died in 1981, with a snippet of his contribution to Ormandy's musical birthday card. It's scored for brass choir and timpani, and if you take a look at the closing bars, you'll see the composer's reference to his own Adagio for Strings.

Tenor Philip Langridge has died, the BBC reports. The singer maintained a wide variety of role on opera stages, in Mozart, Schoenberg and Wagner, and Britten, Tippett and Birtwistle. U.S. audiences will remember him, however, as the flour-doused, campy yet caustic Witch in the Metropolitan Opera's Hansel and Gretel.

The Art of the Steal gets a lot of attention today in The Inquirer: a piece by me, one by art critic Ed Sozanski, and responses by the Barnes and foes of the move to Center City.
The Washington Post reveals that the film's executive producer offered to pay people to speak in the film. This, as many know, is an ethical no-no.

NEW YORK Verizon Communications Inc is offering a broadband video subscription service from Starz Entertainment to expand its video offering on the Internet, the companies said on Tuesday.
The new Starz Play service, offered at $5.99 per month, or $4 less than what Starz charges for its similar Vongo service, is available to Verizon's 8.5 million high speed Internet service customers as well as potential customers outside of its regions.
Internet movie services such as those offered by Vongo, Netflix and Amazon.com have yet to be big hits with consumers as most continue to rely on watching long-form movies in front of televisions.
Starz has aimed to court younger consumers and travelers, who spend more time in front of laptops and digital entertainment devices like Apple's iPod. Starz Play movies downloaded from the service will not be viewable on the iPod.
The Verizon service is Starz's first wholesale agreement, which the company sees as the future of its Internet subscription movies business.
Starz does not disclose how many customers it currently serves. The company will continue to offer Vongo, which also lets consumers pay to rent newer releases as well as an archive of more than 1,000 movies, on an unlimited basis for $9.99 per month.
Starz is a division of Liberty Media's Liberty Entertainment Group.

Article Summary
Twenty to thirty percent of the world's population suffers from some sort of chronic pain, which is far more difficult to control than, say, the pain of a cut or bruise. A great deal of effort has gone into the search for medically acceptable ways to control such pain, with few good answers emerging. Now medical researchers at the University of Michigan have directly demonstrated that transcranial electrical stimulation of a patient's brain causes the release of a natural opiate that dulls or eliminates the perception of pain.

a4 witchblade copics sketch by nebezialWatch
©2013-2016 nebezial
also.. i hate scanning copics, we can never scan them right , values get all out of whack...
but well figure it out... one day!!!!!
but well figure it out... one day!!!!!
I always add a levels layer then just pick a black spot and white spot last select your neutral grey. the last one you may have to click around a couple of times but it usually comes out looking right
I love how even your traditional witchblade drawings are more tasteful than what we find in comics. Keep up the good work!
I agree and holy shit this is so nice !!
She looks great!
well at least you know how to color metal to make it look like metal
Awww, I was thinking I really ought to get me some Copics, but that makes them sound like they'd be a frustrating waste of money and time. >:[
I know the feeling. I always have to mess around with the hue/saturation and color balance in photoshop to get as close to the original colors as I can. Its a bit frustrating >_<
Very nice
Very nice..
Wicked pretty!
Looks great without the correct values. Awesome
cool great work
Epic, epic, epic!
that's a gorgeous pic.
I love how you use your copics, I just recently got into them and its hard for me to use them, but it'll come to me eventually! This looks great by the way!
Awesome, as always
Scan in, try posting at 75% opacity. That's my best fix. Good luck.
Very pretty anyway!
YOU AGAIN??? Sweet Jesus!
Wish you lived near me, so I could let you use one hi fidelity scan i have in my house. The resolution of that thing is ludicrous... My sister got it for her product desing so she could hand draw then pass to 3D...
Witchblade ftw.
Witchblade ftw.
Very nice Witchblade
prismacolor markers don't scan right either so don't feel too bad
even with the out of whack values, I immediately knew who the artist is.
this is too much fuckin' amazing!
What? You don't use a photo editor?
too much work too little time
its still nice though
Yay! I love your style with Witchblade! <3
Wonderful job on Witchblade.
Generally I don't like Witchblade, but this is a extremely good picture. Awesome work.
use levels to correct it after scanning
witchblade! fakies~
witchblade! fakies~
Have you thought about using a camera instead? Hell, even an iphone 4 or 5 has a decent enough camera to use. Just give it lighting and use a tripod.
may be it would be better if you took a picture of your drawings
Eeeeh... Sara Pezzini... Tanta roba, ma proprio tanta!
I totally agree with you. Scanning spoils the effect :/
the detail is so amazing!
As always, a nice rendition of Ms. Pezzini.
all out of whack but still looks good.
In a sketch there's not the 100% correct value that counts but the spontaneity and there's plenty of it ^^
I like it.
In a sketch there's not the 100% correct value that counts but the spontaneity and there's plenty of it ^^
I like it.
Whenever I scan anything, I always give it a quick Levels treatment, since values always come up lighter in the scan. I keep the Dark slider where it is, and just adjust the Highlight and Midtone sliders until it looks closer to what it's supposed to look like.
Your work always stands out. Definitely a signature style that never lets us down. True talent.
Excellent rendition+great female character= epic badassery.
that looks perfect for an epic cosplay

About Spider-Man[edit]
- One of my favorite recent exceptions is the series of four Spider-man flicks (Spider-Man: The Trilogy (Spider-Man / Spider-Man 2 / Spider-Man 3) and The Amazing Spider-Man). None of them are highbrow or classy. But despite their clichéd fluffiness, there appears to be a little-noticed tradition. In all of the first three films, Spiderman repeatedly saves New Yorkers from harm. But there is always a moment of brief role-reversal... when normal people, regular New Yorkers, step up and save Spiderman. Indeed, when I watched the recent fourth one — the reboot — I had to start by quashing sadness over Hollywood's craven inability to ever try anything new. Still, there came a moment, near the end, when — once again and with style — citizens stood up again for their hero. And I felt a thrill.
- David Brin [1]
- I created Spider-Man. We decided to give it to Steve Ditko. I drew the first Spider-Man cover. I created the character. I created the costume. I created all those books, but I couldn't do them all. We decided to give the book to Steve Ditko who was the right man for the job. He did a wonderful job on that.
- It was Steve Ditko that made Spider-Man the well-known character that he is.
- What I like about the costume is that anybody reading Spider-Man in any part of the world can imagine that they themselves are under the costume. And that's a good thing.
- Stan Lee [3]
- I explained to Danny that I liked my villains a little more layered-some moral ambiguity, some shades of grey-and that, frankly, I'd had my fill of the psycho's and mass murderers running through the pages of half the comic books on the stands. (And those-heaven help us-were the heroes!) Peter Parker, on the other hand, was, is and always will be a kind , decent, compassionate, caring human being-something of a rarity in the comic book climate of the 90's.

- Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies.
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman.
- Is he strong? Listen bud—
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey there! There goes the Spiderman.
- Wealth and fame, he's ignored—
Action is his reward.
To him,
Life is a great big bang-up—
Wherever there's a hang-up,
You'll find the Spiderman!

"You would think on a university campus there would be some kind of concern for the Darfur issue, but really you don't see a lot of that," said Freidman, who has assisted Rowen in organizing the race. "I was really surprised because I didn't think a high schooler would be capable of putting all this together."
The race will step off in Schenectady's Vale Park at 10 a.m. Already 68 people have signed up to run, but Rowen hopes that number will increase with participants able to register the day of the event beginning at 8:30 a.m.
All of the proceeds from the race will go directly to the International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian relief group providing assistance to the people of Darfur since 2004.
"I was impressed because 91 percent of their profits go directly to the people's needs," said Rowen of the committee.
"The organization buys tents for shelter, food, clothing and they employ therapists to work with the women and children who've been raped," said Rowen. The committee is also calling on all parties to commit to a ceasefire.
There is a $25 entrance fee to participate in the race. The race has a U.S.A. Track and Field Sanction with sponsors such as Hannaford Supermarkets, Freihofer's, the Spectrum 8, the Guilderland High School Chapter of Amnesty International, Perreca's Bakery, Pinhead Susan's, Chez Daisie Creperie and Gade Farm.
