Apparently, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are going through a rough patch in their friendship.
According to a March 12, 2014 Us Weekly report, Swift is disgusted about the fact that Gomez and her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber have reconnected.
On January 2, the off-again/on-again couple was spotted hanging again after a long break. This month, the "Boyfriend" singer sent her $10,000 in flowers, and flew to Texas to see her. Two days later, the "Slow Down" singer accompanied him to the SXSW music festival.
It's not surprising that Swift would disapprove of a reunion between the "Spring Breakers" star and her ex-boyfriend. The "22" singer has never been never been a supporter of their relationship. Back in May 2013 at the Billboard Music Awards, Swift conspicuously refused to answer any questions about Bieber. She was also caught on camera grimacing when Gomez and Bieber kissed backstage.
Gomez' ex-boyfriend may not be the only issue that is driving a wedge between them. According to Us Weekly, Swift began distancing herself after Gomez reportedly "used" a brief romance between her and Ed Sheeran to make the country singer jealous. Still, given that the Us Weekly source is unnamed, there is no evidence that this story is true.
Another factor that might contribute to a possible fallout is Swift's new friendship with Lorde. "Selenators" are none too pleased about the fact that Gomez' close pal is getting closer to someone who made such disparaging remarks about her in the past.
Back in September 2013, Lorde suggested that Gomez' single, "Come and Get It" promoted an anti-feminist message and that she was "sick of women being portrayed this way."
Still, Gomez seems to be taking the high road with Lorde. In a Seventeen interview, she commented, "I'm going to support her whether she likes me or not because I think she's doing great things. I've never met her, but she's extremely talented, and she has a voice that she likes to use, and I think that's great. Some day I will see her and we'll be cool."
Is Taylor Swift right about Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber? Or does Swift need to mind her own business? Do you think their friendship is on the rocks? Or can they work things out?

America is the land of second chances. Four years after the worst oil spill in American history, the Environmental Protection Agency is giving BP (NYSE:BP) its proverbial second chance by allowing the company to bid on new oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico again. The super-major was originally banned from doing so in 2012.
For BP, the past four years have not been easy. The British company has had to sell significant assets to pay for the estimated $42 billion in potential litigation costs associated with the Macondo oil spill. The super-major's reputation has taken a major beating as it has been the subject of scathing criticism from government and media alike. The company's shareholders have missed out on one of history's greatest bull markets as many other oil stocks have rallied.
But times are changing; the EPA's recent approval sutures another wound for the oil giant and brings back a sense of normalcy to BP.
Return to normalcy
For BP, being allowed to bid on new Gulf of Mexico leases is very positive news.
Despite the large costs of the Macondo oil spill, BP firmly believes a big piece of its future lies in the Gulf. With 10 operating drill rigs in deepwater Gulf of Mexico at the end of 2013, the company is the second largest oil producer in the basin. In addition to being a large oil producer, BP is also the largest oil lease owner in the Gulf and plans to invest a miniumum average of $4 billion each year for the next decade to develop its leases.
While $4 billion a year may not sound like much, it is a significant amount relative to BP's annual capital expenditure budget of $24 billion.
By being allowed to bid on new leases, BP should be able to grow further in the Gulf and develop more acreage. It should be able to increase its revenues and oil reserves.
The EPA's recent decision is also good news for offshore drilling companies such as Transocean (NYSE:RIG) and Seadrill (NYSE:SDRL). The offshore drillers may realize more revenue as total deepwater capital expenditures increase.
The bottom line
With most of the world's easy oil gone, the world needs offshore oil more than ever. Many of the world's recent oil field discoveries are deepwater or ultra-deepwater fields.
In addition to offshore Brazil and West Africa, deepwater Gulf of Mexico is a big piece of that puzzle. The Department of the Interior estimates the Gulf of Mexico has 48 billion barrels of undiscovered oil.
Research firm Wood Mackenzie expects that deepwater Gulf production will increase from 1.5 million barrels of oil a day today to 1.9 million barrels a day by 2020.
For BP, the EPA's approval provides the opportunity for BP to grow again in one of the world's most promising areas. It allows BP to sharpen its focus on increasing its operating cash flow, raising its dividend, and buying back shares. In short, it allows BP to return to a safer business-as-usual environment.
The safest way to play offshore drilling?

BlackBerry Kickstart Experience in detail
Ah, yes. Because we all need the same people who sell us our phones to tell us how to use them, there is this certain "BlackBerry Kickstart Experience" that's detailed in a series of realistic-looking slides for you to ponder upon. That's if you're interested in learning more about how to use the still unannounced phone, of course.
The BlackBerry Kickstart Experience is a short collection of images of the BlackBerry clamshell phone in its, uh, operational glory. Here the phone's primary functions get detailed in a way never seen before… or something like that.
Through this we see that there has been a lot of effort from RIM to make using the Kickstart as easy and simple as possible, and that most of its functions can be performed without even opening the phone. If you're feeling a little curious about this thing, head on over to the source for more details.

Trial rescheduled for man accused of killing Dunlap tattoo artist
GOSHEN — The trial date for a man accused of killing tattoo shop owner Mark Miller has been rescheduled for January.
Todd Stewart, 35, of Bristol, is charged with murder and faces a sentence of up to 65 years in prison. His trial, originally scheduled Sept. 9, is slated for Jan. 6, 2014, as a top case on the schedule. His trial status conference will be held Dec. 19.
Clifford Williams, Stewart's attorney, requested the trial date be rescheduled because he needed more time to prepare for the trial, he told the court. The prosecuting attorney did not object to the request.
Miller's body was found stuffed in a barrel floating down the St. Joseph River near C.R. 17 on Sept. 20, 2012. Stewart was arrested following an eight-month investigation by the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department.
Miller, the owner of a tattoo shop on U.S. 33 in Dunlap, was last seen in his shop Sept. 7, 2012.
A witness told police Stewart shot Miller that night. That same witness said he helped Stewart load the barrel containing Miller body onto Stewart's truck.
During the police investigation, Stewart gave information about his whereabouts the night of Sept. 7, when Miller went missing. Stewart told police he last saw Miller at about 11 p.m. when he left the tattoo shop.
But investigators found several inconsistencies between Stewart's statements and the evidence.
Stewart had been previously convicted in a couple of battery offenses. In 2001 he pleaded guilty to battery. In 2007, Stewart pleaded guilty to battery as a lesser offense after he was charged with battery in the physical presence of a child less than 16 years of age, a Class D felony.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- High blood pressure affects 75 million Americans every year and
One in three adults has it. If left untreated, it can become a ticking time bomb; leading to heart disease, stroke or kidney failure. It's high blood pressure, something Caroline Lee wants to avoid. "I'd like to think that I'm really active," Caroline Lee told Ivanhoe.
Caroline gets her blood pressure checked regularly, but now she can get an even better reading by testing what's happening in the large arteries close to her heart, known as central blood pressure. Normally, blood pressure is measured with a cuff in the upper arm for convenience, but recent studies show brachial blood pressure is not as accurate as central blood pressure for measuring your risk for disease.
"Based on the change of your central pressure, you can find out what your risk for heart diseases are," Dr. Nicole Weinberg, Cardiologist, Saint John's Health Center, told Ivanhoe.
Being able to measure blood pressure in the aorta, which is closer to the heart and brain, is important because this is where high blood pressure can cause significant damage. Until now it could only be measured directly by surgically placing a catheter or pressure sensor into the aorta, but a new FDA approved machine, The Sphygmocor, is changing that, a sensor the size of a pen is pressed at the wrist.
"We put a probe on the radial artery and through the pressure from your heart in the radial artery we are able to measure what the central pressures are," Dr. Weinberg explained.
In minutes, doctors can recommend either life style changes or drug therapy.
Now she can get back to her active lifestyle, without worrying about her blood pressure.
If you're unable to try the new test the next time you get your blood pressure checked, make sure to get it checked in both arms. A new study published in the journal Lancet shows if the readings for the left and right arm have markedly different top numbers, it could be a sign of vascular disease and an increased risk of death.For additional research on this article, click here.Sign up for a free weekly e-mail on Medical Breakthroughs called First to Know by clicking here.

If you like reality TV, you are going to love Sociology!!
Are you interested in people? Are you fascinated by such topics as criminology, race relations, the family, or social justice? These subjects and others that deal with social relationships and the nature of society comprise the discipline of sociology.
Sociology is the study of social groups. It is concerned with the way groups are organized, how they function, how they change and the way in which they influence human behavior. Groups may vary in size and complexity from two people to entire societies. Sociology is a broad and eclectic field, and sociologists use many different approaches, ranging from quantitative methods to humanistic analysis.
What can you do with a degree in sociology? Opportunities exist in both the private and public sectors in the fields of criminal justice, demography, human service, business, education, social science research and community relations. For more detailed information about career opportunities visit the American Sociological Association.
The curriculum for the sociology major is designed to give students maximum exposure to the breadth of the field. If desired, five specially designed concentrations – General Sociology, Social and Health Advocacy, Crime and Society, Sociology of Globalization and Sociology of Education – allow students to focus on a particular area of interest.
The department offers a minor in Sociology, and interested students may also pursue a double major in Sociology/Physical Therapy or Sociology/Occupational Therapy.
Students majoring in Sociology must complete 34 credit hours of sociology coursework, including a minimum 150-hour field placement. Courses should be taken sequentially, beginning with SOC101 Introduction to Sociology. Sociology majors also participate in departmental conferences where they learn to present their research. Upon completion of specific program and College requirements, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology is awarded.

Ernie Johnson
Ernie Johnson has come a great distance since his job as a cotton hauler. One day, one of Ernie's relatives, Ivory Joe Hunter came to Ernie with a suitcase full of money that he had made while playing the piano. "That right there was my clue to start pursuing a singing career and give up my job as a cotton hauler", Ernie recalls. He packed up and moved to Texas, in 1957, determined to make it as a singer. His first performance was at Club 84 in Mexia, Texas, in the late '50s, where he opened for Lavelle White and Guitar James Walley. By the end of the show, Johnson had upstaged his headliners. He became flattered about his newfound success so he set out to gather up a band to solidify his place in the blues and R & B circuit. He soon started his band by the name of the Soul Blenders. They quickly found themselves playing everywhere from beer joints to VFW halls, anyplace they could find that would hold a band. Johnson's fee for playing, fifty cents to a dollar. Johnson says of his fee, "We're talking about the early '70s, everything was cheap."

So the news has been out for some time and I've been getting emails about my thoughts on the new version so i figured now would be a good time to chime in. Now, I will point out that I do not get paid or asked to say anything but as always, I accept free TVs and Lakers playoff tickets.
Cool New Features:
AE CS5 is jet-packed with new features and workflow improvements that may seem a bit techy and possibly boring when compared to my feature request which was a 3D jet-pack generator but it seems to have been overlooked. What IS great about many of the new features is that they simplify some of the dirty work in after effects, like rotoscoping so that you CAN be more creative.
The Mocha integration is one of my favorite new features that allows Mocha-tracked masked to be imported to AE with refinement control. Mocha is a great planar tracking tool (included) for tracking moving elements for compositing. This feature may sound "boring" but you can do things like facial de-aging for blemish removals with perfectly tracked masks, and maybe even create an obscuration masks for adding jet-packs to0!
The new Roto Brush tool also looks promising. From someone that just finished 2 weeks of serious FX work, I look forward to trying out the new tool, and if it works half as good as it looks, it should be a real time saver. Many of the shots I worked on involved enhancing explosions or adding elements but before the fun stuff, I had to do wire-removal or remove or mask-out foreground elements, which generally took the majority of the time.
Getting FreeForm for … free, is also a pretty sweet. This plug-in allows you to warp layers in 3D with some intuitive controls. It's a bit on the slow side for more complex warps but having the ability to warp layers is very useful.
I can also tell you that the interface seems quite snappy compared to previous versions as well, gotta like that.
The 64-Bit Dilemma
Now, to the most powerful and possibly most controversial new feature in AE CS5 is that the software is 64-bit ONLY. What this means is that AE CS5 will only run on a 64-bit machine with a 64-bit Operating system.
The benefits of 64-bit software include the ability to access more that 3 GBs of RAM for rendering and previews as well as allow faster processing of larger images, larger comps and higher color-spaces (32bpc).
When I think about this situation, I wonder, could Adobe have made a 32 bit version as well, so that users with non-64 bit machines wouldn't have to upgrade there systems? Maybe. But would we have got all the new features found in CS5? Another more IMPORTANT question is this, why didn't Adobe just NOT make a 64-bit version and just continue the success of AE without interrupting functionality for any users by keeping it 32-bit? When you think about this question, it makes more sense.
If you look at the current state of Visual Effects and multimedia, it's progressing rather INSANELY, with HD, 2K and 4K and even 3D films becoming more common our software is being asked to do quite a bit. By NOT taking that NEXT step towards the inevitable future and the increasing demands of new media Adobe and the users, risk losing their edge.
64-bit computers have been around for quite a while and 3D software makers were one of the first adopters. When using huge texture maps and fancy 3D renderings the results were affected by limited memory access due to 32-bit software so 64-bit support was essential to taking renderings to the next level. 3D max 9 came out with a 64-bit version in 2006, and since then compositing tools, like After Effects have been pushed to new limits with 3D comping and 32-bit color projects.
I wouldn't want software makers like Adobe to be making big changes like this all-the-time (not that they would, unlike Apple :)) but I also don't want serious innovation and development to wait for every last person to be on board before implementing it for people who could really benefit right now. If you ever had a failed render or struggled with large images just days before a deadline, you'll be pleased with the innovation and for those who aren't yet pushing the limits of HD, you will be soon and you'll be happy the technology is there.
And yes QuickTime videos will continue to work in AE CS5 as expected.
How do you get to 64-bits?
Before people start running for the hills… or people that live in the hills start running down the river… Here are some considerations:
- Mac users running OS X v10.5.7 or v10.6 with 2nd Gen. Intel processor, are good-to-go. Your hardware and OS ready now.
- PC users should know that most hardware purchased in the last 3-4 years is 64-bit ready and most likely there are 64-bit supported drivers available if you wanted to change from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS
- If you are buying a new computer, just request a native 64-bit OS, I've been using Windows 7 x64 with great success for a while.
- If your current AE version is good enough and you don't think you will benefit from the new features… just wait until you do need it.
Another consideration when upgrading is to make sure your other favorite programs are supported under a new 64-bit OS. In most cases 32-bit software will run without problems under a 64-bit OS. One thing to keep in mind is that not all software will benefit from 64-bits, so it is quite alright to run a 32 bit version.
3rd Party Plug-in Concerns:
A major part of the After Effects popularity is the sweet plug-ins that give us magical new features like Particular and perhaps Optical Flares
Bottom line: 32-bit plug-ins will NOT work in AE CS5 without an update but, most developers have already promised support for 64-bit with free or low cost upgrade. For the record, Video Copilot is offering free upgrades for our plug-ins: Twitch and Optical Flares as well as our free plug-ins Sure Target 2 and VC Reflect.
Don't forget, 64 bit processing is a feature and having plug-ins that work natively is a real benefit.
Check out the developers that have announced Upgrades
Some older plug-ins and even some Free plug-ins (not ours) may not get upgraded but I can tell you that the 64-bit conversion was not very difficult for our plug-ins and only took a couple days to convert all our tools and less than a week for Optical Flares which features a full use-interface.
So if the need is strong, any developer can offer a 64-bit version and I bet Adobe wouldn't mind helping out with the conversion as well, Adobe has really reached out to developers including us to make sure we had everything we needed to be ready.� It's easy to think about that 1 tool that may not work with AE CS5 but just don't forget about all the benefits!
very good .
very good site
thanks alot for ur page

but i like to work on adobe after effects cs5 ....
can you can tell me ...
i don't have 64 bit machine.
First, many extreme thank yooz to Andrew for all of his hard work, time and wonderful generosity.
It's people like you who make this industry a joy.
Ok, now to the 64 bit thing: (I'll try not to turn this into an OS diatribe)
and maybe a little more specifically to Larry S. Evans II. I have been using Windows 64 bit since the earliest betas of Vista. And the only way I was able to use it was to turn off all of the eyecandy and unnecessary background processes. (I've been doing this since Windows 98 and it's free and relatively easy) This made a huge difference in both stability and speed. Vista still had it issues. But it was the only 64 bit OS that let you install and run most 32 bit programs. Windows 7 is what Vista was supposed to be and it is truly great OS. But you still have to shut off all of the same stuff. So Windows 7 x64 is simply a smarter OS and it knows what to do with multicore (including the new 6 core, and the 8, 12 & 16 core that are in the works) processors, fancy instruction sets and huge mountains of system memory which all translates into a really good user experience. Wait til Win 8/9 and 128 bit. Yikes! Anyway, you can install and run both CS4 and CS5 on the same machine so this lets you transition and upgrade with less pain. Thanks again Andrew for everything. Cheers.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 added a fundamental amount of "sparkly chrome" features aimed at end users who will largely only use their computer for surfing the web or playing video games, and/or who likely need the machines to protect themselves from the user.
I truly wish that there was some way to easily and economically strip away all this extra stuff in Windows that just eats up my clock cycles.
This is a personal gripe, I know, but the computer for me is a tool for creativity. As someone who began working in the traditional media (and still dabbles) I cannot conceive of buying a paint-brush based on the ability to change the color of the handle, or having a pencil that also could order pizza. So having all the bells and whistles like see-thru buttons, and raised menus, etc. in Windows has no intrinsic value to my use of it as an electrified paintbrush.
I won't comment on the Mac OS and it's probable overload of similar eyecandy features, as I parted ways with Cupertino way back when Mr. Jobs shut down the clone program, and yes, my phone has only one app. . . it's a phone.
I guess the question is whether or not CS5 will offer a Linux/Unix 64-bit variant (had not heard that with any clarity). I have to be honest in that I've not considered working with Linux for some time, but if that ends up being the only way to keep someone else from "pimping my OS" just because the home consumer expects that, I'll have to reconsider.
Because I really don't want to buy that new CS5 s***, because it REALLY COSTS... x_X AND... I have to upgrade to Vista x64 -.-
But if you'll use CS5 from now on, I suppose I'm going to get one of those CS5's too... I love your tutorials... they're simple, very creative and understandable (:
Keep it up, AE master ;)
I know what you mean about the rediculous price in australia, i'll never buy Creative Suite for the AUD RRP.
So, i did a lot of research, I managed to get CS5 for 1,100 including postage (production premium). I had to buy CS4 first, it is dirt cheap at www.buyitultracheap.com at the moment because CS5 is coming, and then adobe gave me the post announce free upgrade to CS5, because I bought CS4 within 30 days of CS5's announcement.
I dont know how much longer the CS5 grace period will last for though
Sorry AK for the downer on your blog ;-)
IMHO, this is a foolish decision that will hurt their profits. If I was a stock holder I'd be fuming. There has to be some other motive here. I can't believe they'd make such a poor decision without some very very compelling/self interested reason(s).
but sadly my OS run on 32-bit
Anyway, thanks for a great site.
That's not After Effects, that is another not-published program. They only named it After Effects to get hits.
Btw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCr96ldClz4 pretty darn cool : )
It wouldn't be the same without VCP and Adobe : ))
but damn!
where is andrew kramer?
Yes, you are - on various accounts.
a) Caching in AE happens all the time - in RAM and not just disk. 64bit only skews this in favor of more RAM caching, which in turn may be faster.
b) You are wrong about the other caching, that is processor caching. Utterly irrelevant other than for the actual processing and out of the control of the user. Of course there is a difference between a Core7i, a Nehalem Xeon and older processors it's just not that these low-level caches are used for any application data caching. An optimizations there will have to come from the compiler or the processor itself.
d) The disk cache is a so-so situation. For simple scenarios, AE won't use it to begin with, if frames can be recalculated fast enough. Whether it is used for final rendering, is another matter, but unless you have RAM previewed the whole timeline at full res before and the structure of your project is beneficial to using cached frames, it will not do much for final rendering.
e) On the most elementary processing level, 64bit systems are actually slower. There's more overhead due to the longer memory addresses which need more complex calculations and likewise, many simple operations that never use full 64bit operands will need to be converted or executed in an emulation layer. This can be compensated for by concatenating operations to some degree or the processor providing special registers just for lower bit width commands, that's why you usually don't notice it - you simply run 64bit programs on a different computer and OS than you would a 32bit app.
@ Matthew Sabia
There is NO 32 bit version of CS5, is you have a 32-bit OS, it will install CS4 instead, so you have CS5 and CS4 on the same DVD.
I was at the NAB show in Vegas and saw it first hand, I was presenting their demos at NAB for HP. The new improvements are incredible.
There is a feature that has been announced that Andrew forgot to mention, the Mercury Playback Engine. I can honestly say that Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere are fast.
Take for instance a AVC Intra HD file, I demoed that it actually pre-RAM rendered faster than realtime, shocking I know.
As for the types of video cards, you must have a FX 3800 or higher to utilize it, either than or you are relying on your CPU and Memory to do the rendering.
Photoshop has some amazing features and upgrades, makes editing pictures extremely easy.
I have a copy of CS5 and I have to say, I will enjoy every minute of editing. I think it is publicly available in May, OEM is in April.
I look forward to many great tutorials Andrew, dont forget to show RotoBrush's true power.
Best Regards,
32bit apps will work on 64bit OS, but I think what Adobe is saying is that they are not going to MAKE a 32-bit version of Premiere/After Effects.
We upgraded to the Master Collection at work, and I'm going to upgrade my OS to 64-bit and then max out the RAM the rig will take (8GB).
Please stop spreading myths. What has memory allocation to do with processing speed? It won't magically load frames faster from disk or write them faster nor will it accelerate effects in any way that haven't been optimized to take advantage. ... ... What may be faster is specific scenarios that resort to cached data but that, just like in the past, is hugely dependent on the structure of your project.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm not entirely sure what you're on about...
Regardless of whether or not an application is well coded or not, one of the most prominent benefits of being able to use more memory under native 64bit, is a fairly big one; data processing is much more efficient when it doesn't need to be cached as often. Direct access to data in memory is a big boost for processing. Not to forget the efficiency with larger data-chunks.
No matter the quality of an application's coding (which would have just as much influence on a 32-bit os), no caching is gonna be any more effecting under 64bit then it is under 32bit, other then amount of data. The Main speed factor here is the access/read/write speed of your cache-folder's device. Bad project structure being a bottleneck under 64bit, would just as much indicate that the user would have the same kind of 'bad structure'.
Having said that, once more; Running 64-bit and having more memory available for data processing that doesn't need to be cached as often, is the probably most important thing here, aside from being able to deal with larger file-sizes easier and more effective.
Other then that, 64bit is more reliable and stable (generally speaking), and when required and coded for, more secure.
Let's put it this way:
There's a reason why 32bit processors haven't been manufactured in quite some time now, even while software and OS's are still often 32-bit.
64bit processors run even 32bit applications more reliable and in a lot of cases more efficiently.
Perhaps the differences seem insignificantly small right now, but unless we start using native 64bit, we're not gonna see developments that truly start to benefit and be as efficient as it could be.
But ok... I just think people should embrace advancements, including the small steps that are needed to make a leap!
BTW.....where the hell is the true 3D environment and Node-based workflow in AE CS5? It's about time they finally make the jump to a better workflow.
Might want to make a post ;)
Well, doesn't it just prove how many uncreative, talent-free people are out there? *meh*
No, it won't. Please stop spreading myths. What has memory allocation to do with processing speed? It won't magically load frames faster from disk or write them faster nor will it accelerate effects in any way that haven't been optimized to take advantage. Just because they >>>could<<>>need to<<< nor will they for simple matters of computational math. What may be faster is specific scenarios that resort to cached data but that, just like in the past, is hugely dependent on the structure of your project. Any other speed and performance gains happen because someone optimizes specific code in the application, not because the application is compiled using a different byteword size. Period. Everything else is nonsense. And yes, of course the code has been optimized as in every iteration, but that cannot be attributed to just 64bit-ness.
I know, you guys are insiders and all pro at this stuff, but the little I do, I do at 1080p and would surely appreciate the extra computing-power, memory access and reliability of 64-bit.
Have been running x64 OS's for years now and think it's about time a company starts pushing forward, forcing people to move on too.
I mean, no offense... but this has to happen, so we might finally get rid of those out there that still demand support for 8 & 16-bit applications.
Anyways, lost track of topic... any hints, tips on where to go to start of on CS5 rather sooner then later?!
Thanks guys!
Photoshop CS4 has already got one, I've done all of my rotowork through photoshop's video capabilities.
I'm actually really excited because with Gridiron Pro, which uses all your processors (I have 8) and all 16 GBs of RAM I have rendering should be UBER fast! Of course, that's dependent on Gridiron Pro having a 64-bit version. We'll see....
grasias desde ya por su ayuda
But the question is ....
It would be possible to translate the tutorials into Spanish?
I say that with the google language tool, it is quite understandable.
Huzzah for shorter render time!
Looking forward to your next tutorial! Keep it up Andrew!
Well eventually I would have had to upgraded from my 32-bit PC systems (Laptop and Computer) but that's not going to be easy espcially with the laptop as I can see that would mean buying a completely new laptop.
The PC could be upgraded but then I forced into the dilemma what's the benfits of upgrading to a 64-bit PC when there are 64-bit Macs already available apart from the fact that means finding EVEN MORE MONEY for new software! - sorry for the caps but some of us aren't self-financing businesses and we like playing with AfterEffects for fun and recreation rather than big business.
I simply can't justify the jump to 64-bit so Adobe have in effect cut off thousands of potential CS5 buyers - good luck with that Adobe!
The user interface for adobe after effects pretty much the same with few new bottons and realy cool tools that goes for premier pro too. This time i did'nt win anything,the CS5 Premiume addition went to GIRL,I ASKED THE GUY FROM ADOBE IF I CAN WASH HIS CAR AND GET A COPY HE SAID NO so i left home drove 52 miles thinking why why why not me THE END.
Is it not possible to use/generate 3D-movies in CS5 or is there a plug-in?
I´m asking cause i got a fuji real 3d, but the software i used is not very good. So i want to use Adobe, like i do for normal films.
i think the cutting edge effects is not only with the built-in plugins,but with the help of 3d party plugins installed,and if we are already working on good at CS4 with our plugins installed and placed really good,what should be the real reason to move on,and change it to Cs5,and pay for it...for the very serious effectors like Mr. Andrew and so on,yes it can be an option to get more adventage like he is mentioning over there and if he wishes to change his valuable intalled CS4(i don't think he will :),but however...using a better hardware a system upgrade is better always for most of us against to pay for the new cs5,and better for 3ds max x64bit as well...so the thing is money for cs5 or system upgrade?!!!
i would use my already installed platform and go for a system upgrade if the is no innovation like cuda rendering support for after effects+real good 3d object importing and editing(not just only the the z-depth or else similar for the God's sake,it is a great feature but not enough...)
with my best wishes for all of you fellows,and tnx for the news Mr. Andrew,and btw,say hello to Sam ;)
About VC's Plug ins... That's so sweet... ;)
Btw I am on a 64 Bit system.
64bit does not mean magic accelerations at the snap of a finger. A toaster doesn't turn into a rocket just because it runs another software, if you get my meaning... If you run CS4 and CS5 on the same machine, you will see comparable performance. Any improvements will have to be attributed to general optimizations that would also be in a 32bit AE CS5, if there were such a thing.
"- What about the texture for the 3d model, is there any good news regarding that?"
And exactly what do you mean? There is no new 3D environment. All features are the same as in CS4, including import of Photoshop 3D layers.
"- Regarding Mocha, will it be inside the app itself or does it open as outer 3rd party app with its interface?"
It's still standalone.
There is no 32bit After Effects CS5. Read the article again!
I'm gonna grab the whole master collection asap! :D
At least not for a couple of years. Heck I'm just getting used to CS4, which is FINE for all of what I need to do.
And the new cs5 features seem like so-what to me.. nothing groundbreaking... just another way for adobe to make money from a minor feature set release.
No WAY. Not going to upgrade for at least 1-2 years. Who wants to have to do a complete upgrade from winxp to win7 (which is still new), and reinstall all your software? no freaking way. NO. Just saying no. CS4 is FINE the way it is.
- Obrigado
Hello good people good morning I really enjoy this program but I do not know much is untouched I would like to view the question to you all here on Replies to where I find for download AFTER EFFECTS CS5 '
- Thanks
Msn : email@example.com
I've Been waiting for this
These are minimums, and to handle HD or Red footage I suggest at least 16GB. Also note that if you're using Premiere Pro CS5, an NVIDIA card with CUDA is pretty much essential as it allows the new GPU-accelerated filters and rendering engine to join the party.
Those users who wish to remain on a 32-bit system can continue to use Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4 alongside other CS5 components as only those two require an x64 OS; however the workflow integration within CS5 will of course not be available to those two CS4 packages. Copies of AE and PP CS4 are included in the Windows installer for CS5 Production Premium and Master Collection, and will be selected by the installer if it detects a 32-bit platform.
As you mentioned, the least they could have done was made 32bit and 64bit available, with the option to switch from 32 to 64 later for no additional fee. Adobe is great, and I love their products, but these quick changes remind me of Microsoft's changes every time I turn around. My bank account can't keep up.
You're right Andrew, the rate of technological change is insane.
hope the Premiere C5 is better then the old crashy versions!
A question: when do you think you'll do your tutorials using the CS5 version?
Thank's for the info :)
And that Roto-Brush looks SWEET!!!
Creative Minds Lab
Im still gonna keep another computer running cs4 so i can access older plugins, but as long as optical flares is 64bit im gonna happy.
So if you're planning on going the upgrade route, then also check the other software's on your PC (Eg. Games) that they support 64 bit.
I've checked and, yes, Sims 3 does ;) Yay for me.
I've tried to work with Mocha, but never really go the hang of it. Perhaps a quick tutorial, Andrew? The ones available on the web aren't explaining it in terms of jet packs.
begone 32bit, you are yesterday and I am tomorrow
That being said, I think it will be awhile before I upgrade to CS5. I have Production Premium CS4 and it does everything I need....so far.
I wonder if this will cause a problem for some of the forum members as they see VCP start making tutorials for more advanced 64 bit users. After all I don't see Andrew stopping at 32 bit CS4 and not wanting to explore more advanced features of CS5.
And as a business if VCP did stop CS4 style tutorials it may start to lose followers.
And as a business if VCP wants to advance it's business further it has no choice but to support and supply CS5 and 64 bit systems.
Kind of a double edge sword but which way will you swing it Andrew
- Does the rendering speed as final output will be faster than before, am not asking about the preview, no am talking about the output render itself?
- What about the texture for the 3d model, is there any good news regarding that?
- Regarding Mocha, will it be inside the app itself or does it open as outer 3rd party app with its interface?
sorry for the long Q's I still have more :) but I dont wanna disturb you...
Thanks Supporter
they are benefits, yes...but it seems i cant take that time to re-adjust myself for now.:(
small projects always comes in and we suppose to deliver on time.
maybe i update myself when i get to make a movie..about dynasours that comes from the sea...
Source: http://www.yenaphe.inf o/tag/windows-xp/
Why anyone would still want to run XP when Win7 is perfect is beyond me.. but just in-case there's a few diehards out there... you'll need to upgrade your OS to run CS5:)
Hope that helps:)
I love Anderw Kramer!
I am Edris Mohammadi from Iran,Sanandaj.
10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) is only available for Intel based Macs, which started as being 32bit. All Intel Core 2 Duo chipsets and the new Core i5 and i7 are 64bit.
So just make sure you're running both an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i5 or Core i7 and Mac OS X Snow leopard.
That is all... :)
Or maybe not??
Either way it seems to be a move
that correlates with the technology
that is emerging today.
Weather or not is works with future
Software & technology??
Only Time will tell..
But I'm betting on the 64bit future :)
Personal quote:
Run with the speed of light, and you are sure to get noticed!
that correlates with the technology
that is emerging today.
I thought it was cool, too, that Video Copilot got a mention on one of Adobe's flyers showing plugins that would be available in 64-bit. You're big enough that NAB knows about you, AK!
I'm looking forward to my upgrade at the end of the summer; this will be an epic upgrade indeed.

- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
The docs published under /en/1.2/ aren't rendered from a frozen copy of the tree (e.g. the last release from the bug fix-only releases/1.2.X SVN branch) but from an always current checkout of its tip.
That branch was created in r13361. All the commits between r13285 (the moment 1.2 got tagged) and r13361 are present both in trunk and in the 1.2.X branch.
So the new assertQuerysetEqual() method will be available in the 1.2 series starting with 1.2.2.

Fair enough. The attached patch add a "New in Django 1.2" to the assertQuerysetEqual documentation

comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by russellm
- milestone set to 1.3
If we follow the backwards compatibility policy strictly, we can't introduce a new feature into 1.2; also, the feature doesn't (and can't) exist in Django 1.2.0 or 1.2.1. It will appear in 1.2.2, by virtue of a backported test case.
Strictly by the book, we should revert the changesets that need to use assertQuerysetEqual. However, the overhead of maintaining two different test suites (plus the speed boost associated with moving to unit tests) is too much to ignore.
In the interests of practicality, I'm going to mark this as a "new in 1.3" feature; it will exist as a feature in 1.2, but it will be a stealth feature, and won't be documented.

What To See
Explore Around
the church was built in the year 1550 AD by the descendants of the Syrian Knanaya Christians who migrated to India in 345 A.D. from Jerusalem and near-by places under the leadership of Kana Thoma. The migrants consisted of Bishop Joseph of Urhoy (Edessa), two priests and two deacons, besides a group of four hundred persons, representing seventy-two families from seven clans. They landed at Kodungallor and were cordially welcomed by Cheraman Perumal, the then ruler of Malabar, Northern region of modern Kerala.
Ettumanoor Mahadeva temple is an ancient Shiva temple in Kottayam, Kerala, India. It has brought glory and fame to the place. Myths have it that the Pandavas and the sage Vyasa had worshipped at this temple. The name of the place has its origin from the word 'manoor', which means the land of deer. The present temple building, with its gopuram and the fortress around it, was reconstructed in 717 ME (1542 AD). There are Dravidian mural paintings on the walls inside and outside of the main entrance. The fresco of Pradosha Nritham (Dance of Shiva) is one of the finest Wall painting in India. There is a golden flag staff inside the temple. On the top of it is the idol of a bull surrounded by small bells and metal leaves of the banyan tree and in terms of architecture this temples stands out to be an ultimate testimant for the vishwakarma Sthapathis,
Thazhathangady Juma Masjid is a mosque situated in Thazhathangady, one of the Heritage Zones of Kerala, India, near the town of Kottayam. It is one of the oldest mosques in India and is more than 1000 years old. It is famous for its richness of architecture, wood carvings and the beauty. Southern half of it is demolished and extended with iron pillars, aluminium sheets and minars in 2012. This mosque is situated on the banks of the Meenachil river.
St. Mary's Orthodox Syrian Church commonly known as Kottayam Cheriyapally ("small church") is one of the oldest churches in Kerala, India. Built in 1579, the church is well preserved. The architectural style of the church is European, with galleries, pillars, cornices and pediments. The walls are adorned with beautiful murals made in Oriental and Western styles on biblical and non biblical themes.
The Thirunakkara Sree Mahadevar Temple situated in the heart of Kottayam city is one of the most revered Siva temples in central Kerala. The elevated area where the temple is situated was once called 'Nakkara Kunnu' which in due course, because of the presence of the sacred shrine, came to known as 'Thirunakkara' means 'sacred Nakkara.'
The Temple was constructed five centuries ago by one of the native kings called the 'Thekkumkoor Raja' who ruled from Thalikkotta, west of the present city.

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense is a little bruised, but the defense is working just fine.
The Steelers limited Tennessee Titans running back and Orlando-native Chris Johnson to just 34 yards on 16 carries and ended his chances to snap Barry Sanders' 14-game consecutive streak of 100-yard rushing game performances.
Chris Johnson entered the game with 12-straight 100-yard plus rushing games. Johnson said before the season he wants to finish the 2010-11 season with 2,500 season yards.
According to Bob Matthews of the Democrat and Chronicle, he estimated Chris Johnson will have to average 166 yards in each of the remaining 14 games. Luckily, those games don't include the smothering defenses of the New York Jets or Baltimore Ravens.
So do you think Chris Johnson will still finish with at least 2,500 this season?

My technical blog covering WordPress, jQuery, iPhone and any other technology and business tools I employ.Find out more...
DO NOT think about using InfiniteWP. I do not normally write product reviews but this one I feel needs to be written to save others the hassle that I have been through.
A lot of us on shared hosing may have used the following to override the default available memory for WordPress in our wp-config, …usually as a result of the 'Fatal error: Allowed memory size of…' error.
It has been a long time coming, but i was most pleased to day to check the appStore and noticed that there had been a new release from 02 (the exclusive iPhone carrier here in the UK) allowing you to monitor your minutes, bills and account from your phone.
Although a little overdue in my opinion it is still nice to see they have made the effort, …or so i thought.
Sometimes there are just so many tips, suggestions and plugins out there it can get a little overwhelming which ones work and which do more harm than good…
Many times i am asked by ex students and friends starting out on the freelance route what software or system i use for my accounting and although my answer with a smile is always the same, Kashflow, i thought i'd better take advantage of my recommendations by finally offering an affiliate link.
I make websites for companies of all shapes and sizes and of course a fundamental part of the development process is cross platform and cross browser testing. To achieve this i have always employed a selection of tools and techniques, and as there is a new one i am currently championing i thought it best to put some of this in writing.
It has come to my attention recently that there is a rather convincing email phishing scam going around. I saw it when with a client last week and it made me chuckle, but then today i have been alerted to it from one of my clients to whom i provide a mail service, so suddenly i chuckled less and thought i would make you all aware of it.
What follows is a roundup of what i consider to be the 3 most important apps/utilities that i am currently using that i just thought i would share with you.
2 FREE Qantm workshops in April.
Those funny not so evil ones at it again.
Although Gravity Forms provides nice options and CSS control to make your form labels show top/left/right, there is no option to have the label display INSIDE the form field.
A step by step guide on how to setup your Coda and Coda 2 preferences and sites to backup automatically to your Dropbox account.
You can now no longer sell without auto payments on your account in the UK at least. I am pretty annoyed about this, however i still need to use eBay, so back it has to go.
I have an iPhone 4 and i am well aware that smart phones do not have as good battery life as the old Nokia bricks we were all used to, however having had iPhone Edge, 3G and now a 4, i am well aware of the battery life of my iPhone and actually found the […]
If your is_child() WordPress function has stopped working since 3.1, here is the fix.
I have a constant need to see what my clients can see on their screens because as we all know clients are not the best at always being able to explain what is wrong in technical terms, however i have never favoured tools such as LogMeIn due to the need to install and sign up to the service putting a stumbling block in the path of solving the problem quickly.
jQuery Tools is a collection of the most important user interface components for the web. These are tabs, accordions, tooltips, overlays and scrollables.
They can dramatically improve the usability and responsiveness of your site. They mainly focus on presenting information and visual appeal.
The problem is using the jQuery Tools library, specifically the 'overlay' functionality to load in Vimeo players onto an overlay. When the user closes the overlay the video keeps playing.
The following article is taken from the September 2006 Edition of Mac User Magazine and is in relation to my work as Technical Director of Shoot Experience.
Yes. it's official, I have actually been cited as an 'expert' which those who know me may testify, i not a necessary addition to my burgeoning ego (self-confidence as i like to call it).
ow this one really had me stumped, I do a lot of video conversion and since upgrading to Snow Leopard every time i went to encode an FLV file my screen would go black, ..and i would have to reboot.
If like me you have many things open at once, a bit of a disaster and not very mac-behavior if you ask me. …now i have the solution
This may serve as a cause of amusement for you, it may serve as a stark warning as to the level of fraud still prevalent in eBay culture, or it may just provide a good laugh, ..either way i could not let this one go under the public radar.
Shopp, the fantastic commerce plugin for WordPress has one (ok a few, but one we are dealing with here) drawbacks, namely, if you client is using Google Adwords (or even if they aren't and merely want to track conversions) there is no way to accurately track successful transactions as there is no guaranteed return page and the receipt page of a transaction can be viewed any time by the customer at a later stage, thus rendering its usage in this process defunct.
How to add a custom shipping carrier to Shopp. A tutorial on how to add a shipping carrier to Shopp WordPress commerce plugin.
Yesterday I took the leap (small jump actually) to Snow Leopard, Apples latest major OS release.
A problem i have been encountering a lot recently especially through my extensive use of jQuery Tools is being able to stop WordPress loading jQuery in in wp_head().
I can tell you now, before you think this is nothing but a long rant leading nowhere, I am in fact writing this post from my garden, on my laptop, with wireless switched OFF.
MPlayer was ported from its origins as a Linux media player, it did everything VLC did, it rarely complained, it just did it. …however development for MPlayer stopped in 2005, and although i stuck with it for a while, by 2007 it lay dormant on my HD, a testament to times gone by.
So often I am adding core missing functionality the to WordPress functions file that I finally made a template and it seems only nice to put it online and explain it.
Just a quick post to let you know of a solution to a problem i have encountered twice now when developing on clients servers over which i have no real control.
This is actually quite a surprisingly popular problem, how to modify the Wordpress search to search by multiple categories defined by the user.
WordPress templates stopped working since 3.4, or for some reason you cannot see your templates in admin. Possible quick solution here …
XAMPP, MAMP, what are they and more importantly, which is best for me.

Planning Minister urges National Park communities to have their say
4 February 2013
If you live in Aberfoyle, Arrochar & Tarbet, Drymen & Balmaha or Tyndrum, the National Park would like your help in debating the real issues and ideas affecting your community. A new pilot scheme will bring residents together with design consultants to talk about the future of your village, everything from employment to housing, attracting tourism businesses and public transport. Known as a charrette, workshops will be held throughout March and with the help of designers, ideas and issues will come to life with drawings and illustrations. Building on work already carried out by communities, the aim is to create a masterplan that will help guide local development in that area.
Derek Mackay, Minister for Local Government and Planning visited National Park headquarters to launch the events and to show his support.
"These charrettes present a tremendously exciting opportunity for everyone who cares about Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park to join in creating a vision for the future of the Park. By funding these charrettes, the Scottish Government wants to give a chance to everyone in areas to work together to talk about their priorities and the challenges facing the National Park and how they can be addressed, and engage in the development of Local Development Plans. "
Linda McKay, National Park Convener spoke about the need to support rural economies and plan for thriving communities:
"The Callander charrette held in 2011 demonstrated that we have passionate communities who care very much about the area where they live and are naturally concerned about future opportunities for employment, education and housing. These workshops are a great way to work with designers to map out a sustainable future and to identify suitable development that will help enhance communities. They will build on work already undertaken and will link in with wider community action planning. I would encourage anyone who cares about the future of their village and opportunities for young people to come along on the day and share your views. We want to make sure that communities continue to thrive and it's vital we have your input on sensitive design to secure future growth. "
The charrettes are funded by the Scottish Government Scottish Sustainable Communities Initiative: Charrette Mainstreaming Programme and the National Park Authority. They form part of a wider programme of consultation for all National Park communities during 2013.

Alternate history war games, amirite?
They've been lurking in the corners of our game retailers and video stores pretty much since the early days of interactive entertainment. Some involve legitimately possible branches in the timeline, such as different countries winning different wars. Others take a more fantastical approach and involve fighting off demon Nazis and the like. Then sometimes they go all sci-fi on you and throw waves of technologically advanced aliens your way. A good many of them aren't all that great. Thankfully, we now have Trenched to look forward to, and Double Fine's take on alternate history may very well be one the best in the bunch.
Two veteran soldiers, Frank Woodrof and Vladimir Farmsworth, are at the crux of it all. After finding themselves unfit for active duty, the pair end up monitoring radio communications before accidentally intercepting a possibly alien transmission, referred to as "The Broadcast." It drives Vlad insane, causing him to invent television and eventually use the technology to create an army of robotic creatures in order to (what else?) take over the world. In other words, Vlad loses it and makes TV monsters. Frank, on the other hand, uses his knowledge to create "mobile trenches," highly mobile armored weapons capable of standing up to the threat posed by the "Tubes."
You play the part of a soldier in the Mobile Trench Brigade, defending your bases from the Tube threat, finding or purchasing the "phat lewts," and using them to customize your walking death-mobile, along with the look of your soldier. It's essentially a combination of a third-person shooter and tower defense game with mechs. Each mission is comprised of multiple waves of color-coded beasties (reds focus attacks on mobile trenches, blues on your base, and so on) that you'll have to eliminate before they tear your base apart, and each final wave will have you going toe-to-toe with a rather large mini-boss of sorts.
Now before you freak out about the tower defense elements (like I did, because I friggin' hate most tower defense games), know that they take a back seat to good old-fashioned shooting. In fact, I was told that in most cases it was possible to beat a mission without setting more than a few towers, although utilizing them will probably make the missions easier, of course. Plus, they're easy to use, effective, and also function as another bit of swag you can show off to your friends as you can purchase better towers between missions or even find special ones in loot drops. With nine different types of turrets, multiple variations of each, and special variants from drops, finding four that suit your play style to bring on a mission should be a breeze.
The mechs can also be tailored to your preferences, with different legs, chassis, and guns. The legs come in three varieties: two, three, and four-legged configurations, with each type offering a different special ability. Two-leggers can sprint, getting out of harm's way or closing the distance to a target much faster than the average mobile trench. Mechs with three legs can hunker down into a semi-permanent firing position, effectively sacrificing mobility for increased offensive capabilities. Quadrupeds forgo all that fancy crap and just smash stuff with a melee stomp. The chassis, on the other hand, will determine how many and what types of weapons you can attach to it. Based on the demo, the weapons themselves seem to be mostly standard WWI fare; various machine guns, mortars, and so on. It's worth mentioning, however, that some torsos will let you equip multiple weapons to the left and/or right side, and that each weapon on a given side will fire at the same time when you attack. Also, the machine guns are just a pleasure to listen to.
It's also important to note that Trenched is gorgeous. Not "for a downloadable title," but for a game, period. It may not hold a technical candle to Nathan Drake's third impending adventure, but the designs are all top-notch and there are a ton of small details to take in. The environments look war-torn without being cliche, managing to look drab and vibrant at the same time. It's colorful, but still oppressive, which isn't an easy combination to achieve. I'm also a huge fan of the way the mobile trenches seem to vibrate and sputter as they move, giving them the feeling of being held together with duct tape and spit. Not many mech games manage to make the tail-end of their mechs interesting to look at, so I think a big pat on the back is in order here.
The game itself plays out similarly to a team-based survival mode you can find in many multiplayer games these days. One major difference is, of course, the turrets. which can be placed and upgraded by you or your teammates using scrap you collect from fallen Tubes. If you think about all the different turret loadouts, the ability to upgrade your teammates turrets if need-be, and the multitude of ordinance combinations, the potential for an incredibly awesome cooperative multiplayer game is obvious. Of course, you don't have to play with other people, but that's kind of the whole point. How else can you show off your soldier's sweet new hat or that insanely awesome rare turret?
If you like team-oriented multiplayer games, mech customization, or even tower defense games (blech), then start saving those virtual dollars. There's no exact price yet, although I think it's safe to assume it won't be under $10, and there's no specific release date on Xbox Live Arcade, aside from "this year," so you've still got time. Just make sure your ready to join in once the battle begins.
