HP Pavilion dv6-1230us
Average of 1 scores (from 1 reviews)
Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv6-1230us
Source: PC Mag
The HP Pavilion dv6 1230us ($799.99 list) is a tale of two laptops. On the one hand it has all the flashy exterior of the other models in HP's venerable Pavilion line of laptop computers. On the other, it is, at best, a modest laptop with just enough processing power to perform the baseline tasks required of an "entertainment" laptop. Unfortunately when compared to other multimedia laptops the 1230 comes up short. With its elegant design, the HP Pavilion dv6-1230us is a budget notebook, masquerading as one of its more powerful siblings.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
Entry level Penryn based dual-core CPU with a small 2MB level 2 cache and FSB800. Similar to the T6570 but without VT-x.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Leaving their orbiting outpost unmanned, the international space station's two astronauts floated outside on a spacewalk Friday and plugged in new antennas and replaced a worn-out piece of cooling equipment.
Gennady Padalka and Mike Fincke popped open the hatch on the Russian side of the spacecraft and quickly stepped through the fourth and final spacewalk of their six-month mission.
Their job: install three antennas for a new type of cargo carrier to be launched by the European Space Agency to the space station late next year and replace a 2-foot-square Russian pump panel, part of a critical system for cooling station equipment.
"Be careful," Mission Control repeatedly warned the spacewalkers, telling them something like snow might float out when the 6-year-old pump panel comes out. "Go slowly."
The new pump assembly went in neatly. Then the spacewalkers installed a few hooks on exterior handrails, for use during spacewalks. The antenna job followed; the men tossed antenna covers overboard as they connected the three devices, one by one.
Because no one was left inside the 225-mile-high complex, flight controllers in Moscow and Houston kept close watch over the two men and all systems.
NASA prefers having a crew member inside during spacewalks but has had to settle for one less person on board for more than a year because of the grounding of the shuttle fleet. This was the fifth spacewalk with an empty outpost.
The space station has been relying on Russia's much smaller spacecraft for deliveries ever since Columbia broke apart over Texas during re-entry on Feb. 1, 2003.
Padalka and Fincke have 112 months remaining aboard the space station before they return to Earth. They will be replaced by another Russian and American.
During Friday's outing, flight controllers hoped to better understand the mysterious force that tilted the space station 80 degrees off-center during the men's last spacewalk, one month ago.
Engineers suspect the extra force could have come from air gushing out when the hatch was opened or from the spacesuits themselves.

Good quality and delivered in good time.
Bought these for the mrs who always complaining about cold hands and feet. 2 mins in the microwave and shes a snug as a bug in a rug! :) Only issue now is she wants me to buy three more pairs as gifts!!
Sent to a friend as a last minute birthday gift. Delivery info great. Delivery very quick. Recipient says boots are " Fab".
Sent to a friend as a last minute birthday gift. Delivery info great. Delivery very quick. Recipient says boots are " Fab".
these shoes were a best buy they were cheap and very good quality if your looking for some cosy shoes these are the best to choose
This item arrived in perfect condition and was exactly as described on the site. The delivery time was spot on too. Well recommended :)
fab warm fluffy and nice smelling. amazing
Haven't opened em yet as I'm rubbish at wrapping but they arrived promptly & I'm sure the wife'll love em.
These boots were delivered promptly and were exactly what I was looking for, for my pregnant wife, warm and well made!
I've bought these for my sister who loves to curl up with a good book - I think these should be an excellent addition to her leisure! I could do with a pair myself :)
Heavier than expected but certainly cosy
Very pleased! I wasn't sure when I looked at these online, but I have a daughter who suffers from chillblains in the winter, so I thought "Lets have a look see". They arrived quickly and are totally scrummy. They feel soooo nice that you want to cuddle up with them. The beads in the sole do feel a little different but I think she will soon get used to them. All in all a great buy and a great pressie, I am even considering getting myself a pair - as a Christmas pressie - you understand.
Bought these for a Xmas present, they look lovely.
great product, does exactly what it says on the tin. others have noted that there not great to walk in but they're not really slippers in that sense, just a cleaver way to keep you feet warm on a cold day. great for students who refuse to put the heating on. My girlfriend loved them
These really do keep wife's feet warm.
Although the Hot Boots - Beige were very warm, they felt uncomfortable under foot as the beads moved.
Have been looking for these for a while, they are excellent for pedicures footcream, clingwrap, hot boots, soft comfy feet.
Excellent gift for the person who just likes to snuggle up on the sofa and keep warm on those cold winter nights... or any time you just want to keep warm. Bought for the mother in law who is always complaining of being cold so A star for the daughter-in-law.
I bought these Hot Boots for my wife. She likes them and there is no doubt they are warm once microwaved. However the beads that contain the heat are on the top and the bottom. The sole is made of beads. This means you are walking on what is effectively beanbags. It is not easy or particularly comfortable. So they are good for lounging in but not for wearing if you are pottering around. That's a bit of a design flaw in my book!
My mother was most impressed with the Hot Boots - Beige with the added bonus that the lavender smell permeated every other gift I gave this year. Delicious smelling slippers for the win!
I purchased 2 pairs of these boots in brown for Xmas presents, they heat quickly and retain the heat well. Really pleased.
Bought them for my daughter. She loves them.
Great article! I highly recommend it.
Boots are very cozy and much more sturdy than I was expecting. Quite heavy with the beans inside but very warm and toasty.
I love, love, love these Hot Boots - Beige. I have problems with the cold weather and all I can say is if I could wear them on my hands I would. Brilliant.
Bought these Hot Boots as a gift, they come very nicely packaged and feel very nice too.
The Hot Boots - Beige have a very sumptuous feel and the quality is excellent. I can't wait for the person whose Christmas present it is to start using them and feel the warmth.
I bought two pairs of the Hot Boots as gifts and they were softer than anything I've ever held that was man made. The boots themselves are a generous size and warm even without the heating process. The boots work well and I would suggest them as gifts or for your own use.
Heatable, cosy Hot Boots are lovely. just don't heat them for too long; give them a few minutes before putting them on as they can get really hot!
These Hot Boots slippers are lovely stuff. The kept my feet warm and snug and they've been a great buy.
The Hot Boots are a great idea however, they are huge! My girlfriend has size 6 feet, but she couldn't walk in these clown feet!
I bought the Hot Boots as a gift for my stepmum who lives on a boat, to keep her feet warm and the boat smelling nice.
These Hot Boots are great for winter or those cold days. Made from comfortable meterial they are really warm and stay warm for a long time. My mum was really glad that I got her these, and I even wore them for a short time.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Does your child love to play online video games? If so, here's a sobering thought, so do sexual predators. That's according to a speaker at a national symposium on child abuse held in Huntsville this week.
"Online gaming is one of the most popular places (for predators)," said Richard Love, a retired detective with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department and former consultant with the FBI Miami Crimes Against Children Unit.
Love spoke during the workshop, "Sexual Exploitation of Children via Technology" at the National Symposium on Child Abuse held at the Von Braun Center. The conference ended Thursday.
"Parents don't realize the offenders are there," he said. "A lot of children like to play adults online because they're more of a challenge. Then, the offenders let the child win and the next thing you know they're IM-ing."
Love said sexual predators can use modern-day technology to lead children into instant messaging, as well as communication through chatrooms, websites and social media. He flashed a slide of a Newsweek cover that proclaimed, "Special Report: The Darkest Corner of the Internet. How the Web has Fed a Shocking Increase in the Sexual Exploitation of Children."
"As great as the Internet is, it has its darkside," Love said.
Because the wide domain the Internet encompasses, and many of the pedophile sites come from other parts of the world, Love said "we'll never be able to stop them."
But that's not to say Love and other child abuse crusaders have thrown in the towel.
"We can help to contain them through educating the parents and the children," Love said.
Love said there's good software out there parents can use on computers and cellphones -- without the kids even knowing it -- that keep track of who the kids are talking to, what they're saying and the photos downloaded.

FRANKLIN - Derrick Oliver and Eli Altizer combined to throw a shutout as Bath County, Va., defeated Pendleton County, 3-0, in non-conference action on Friday.
Logan Cooper took the loss for the Wildcats. He pitched three innings, giving up four hits and striking out five. Luke Yokum started the game, but was pulled after two innings. He also struck out five batters.
At the plate, Luke Yokum went 1 for 2 with a double. Jacob Lambert went 1 for 3 with a double.
Owen Fry paced the Rams, going 3 for 4 with a home run, a triple and two RBIs. Tanner Plecker went 2 for 4 with an RBI.
"We did a good job defensively," Pendleton County coach Sam Yokum said. "We had runners in scoring position a number of times and we struck out. We had four strikeouts with runners in scoring position. That really hurt us. We just didn't do the little things offensively to score runs."
Pendleton County (1-1) will host Union at 4:30 p.m. Monday for a PVC game.

BUCKHANNON - First-year head coach Levi Bender collected his first victory in grand fashion Thursday as his Lady Bucs defeated Philip Barbour, 17-0, in three innings.

Allie Hays earned the win for the Bucs, tossing a two-hitter. Haelli Killen took the loss for the Colts.
Julie Tenney paced the offense for B-U, going 3 for 3 with a triple and two RBIs. Sara Ling went 2 for 2 with a double, a triple and three RBI.

Bristol Palin Goes Clubbing
Former first lady Barbara Bush raised eyebrows recently when she told Larry King that she hopes Sarah Palin stays in Alaska. But considering what Sarah and her daughter Bristol do in Alaska, we're not sure that's such a great idea either.
This gruesome scene of Bristol and Sarah clubbing a halibut to death took place during the second episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska, in which they visited the city of Homer for a mother-daughter day of commercial halibut fishing. "It felt awesome gettin' some aggression out," Bristol said about clubbing the fish.
Gee, is this how most mothers and daughters bond? My mom and I just made cookies …

I dont understand how Jessica's comment could be seen as "disguisting" She was meerly asking about the most humane way to kill a fish. decapitation or penetrating the brain are the most humane ways. decapitation would probably be better but i dont fish so im not sure.
Be nice. Jessica is asking an honest question. There is no need for such hostility. Jessica I don't know a lot about fish but I would say decapitating them would leave them with the least suffering. But then again they're cold blooded so I'm not so sure. I don't fish or hunt.
The whole Palin family is disgusting. I can't believe people actually watch this show. My mother and I went shopping when we bonded. Beating a poor little fishy to death? That's new.
Is this Jessica person actually serious? What a disgusting creature.
This is terrible but whats worse is Jessica Taylor disgusting comment what the hell is wrong with you grow some compassion for animals
This is horrible!! I watched the video. Fish are social and they DO feel pain! Where does she get off thinking that this is acceptable??
I don't go fishing, but I am curious is this normal? Is this how everyone does it? I mean isn't there a better way to kill a fish? Are they seriously "clubbing" the fish for entertainment? What would be the PETA way to kill a fish?

BUNKER HILL - Maverick Keller waited back as the second half kickoff was about to be sent into the air.
Just three minutes before halftime, he had gashed Jefferson for a long touchdown.
He was about to do it again.
Article Video
high school football
Keller wasn't back deep to receive the kick, but a line drive off the foot of Avery Mendzela found Keller in his upback position. The junior ran straight through arm tackles and outran the Jefferson coverage 73 yards for a touchdown.
His timely running and a stifling Musselman pass rush helped lead the Applemen to an impressive 45-14 victory over Jefferson at Waldeck?Field Friday night.
"It was a huge momentum swing. It got the team all pumped up," Keller said of his return. "I was ready for it, and I was thinking 'Just don't get caught.'"
Article Photos
Journal photo by Chris Jackson
Jefferson's Darrod Doleman, left, makes a catch after the ball bounced off his helmet as Musselman's Alan Janda attempts to break up the pass during their football game at Waldeck Field on Friday.
Jefferson's plan was to use squib kicks to keep the ball away from Josh Ferguson, who has had several explosive returns this season. The plan backfired, as poor execution, and Keller's speed doomed the Cougars on the play.
"What we meant to do was keep the ball on the ground," Jefferson coach Richard Mills said.
"There was a little miscommunication. (Mendzela) popped it up and got a line drive, and it was all down hill from there. We were in the game 'til then."
The Cougars trailed 17-7 at the break, but played what Mills called possibly their best half of football of the season. Right after Jefferson tied the score at 7 apiece with 3:39 left in the first half, Keller, who led Musselman with 81 yards on six carries, took a counter play 64 yards up the left sideline, leaving Cougar defenders in his wake.
"They were really trying to get after Josh (Ferguson) tonight," Musselman coach Denny Price said. "That opened up a lot of windows up on the backside. Maverick took a little trap play, did a great job and bounced it and made a great play."
The Cougars had just gutted the Applemen defense on an 11-play, 53-yard drive capped by a 13-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Justin Carter to Garrett Grantham.
On the Applemen's opening drive, quarterback Caleb Dembeck put Musselman on the board with a six-yard touchdown run on a broken pass play. In between scores, though, the Applemen were flat. Musselman added a Jordan Butler 39-yard field goal right before half to draw further away.
"We gave them some things in the first half that kept us down," Mills said. "We thought that we had a good chance, and that the momentum had turned our way."
On Jefferson's possession after the Keller runback, Carter was sandwiched by J.D. Stanley and Danny Arndt for a sack on third down. The Applemen harassed Carter throughout the game, sacking him 10 times, causing a fumble and interception along the way.
"That was the game plan right there, to put all kinds of pressure on (Carter)," Price said. "That's the kind of defense we have to play. We have to get pressure. We put him in positions to throw the ball where they don't quite know where they're throwing it. Our pass rush did fantastic."
After Jefferson punted, the Applemen drove 39 yards behind the hard running of Ferguson and newly-appointed fullback Malcolm Lee down to the Jefferson 4 yard line before Arndt punched it in, giving Musselman a 31-7 lead.
Teams exchanged punts, and after an unsportsmanlike conduct and a false start backed Jefferson to their own four, Kris Stickman, who was playing with a broken thumb, stuck Carter, jarring the ball loose. Musselman's Daniel Taylor, who was in on four of the Applemen sacks, recoverd at the 6.
"We were in a whole different mindset," said Taylor in relation to Musselman's disappointing performance last week at Washington. "Our heads were into it. We were more focused. It was a big."
Carter found Grantham again for a 15-yard touchdown late in the game, the Arndt scored on a 26-yard run in garbage time.
Carter finished 9 of 18 for 99 yards, 55 of those to Grantham.
On homecoming night, Price was just happy to bring home a complete game victory.
"For the first time in a while," Price said, "we put somebody away."

Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort Benefits Maryland
Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort in Cumberland, Md., continues to spur local, state and regional economies and has boosted the states tourism portfolio. Nestled in the 3,200-acre Rocky Gap State Park, the resort has launched dozens of careers and the money generated by the facility has been returned to the economy many times over.
"Economic development has boomed in Western Maryland since Rocky Gap opened," said Cumberland Mayor Lee Fiedler. "Cumberland has seen revitalization in its downtown and surrounding areas as more businesses relocate to the region. We use the resort to attract more investment to the region and for special business development events throughout the year."
Allegany County Commissioner Jim Stakem estimates Rocky Gap's impact can be felt well beyond the borders of the state. "The Rocky Gap Lodge and Golf Resort is a jewel of Western Maryland," Stakem says. "The vision for Rocky Gap was for the resort to spur economic development in the region, provide jobs to the community and serve guests from the Mid-Atlantic States. It has certainly done a great job in all three areas."
Here is a list of some of the resorts economic benefits to the region:
Rocky Gap employs 310 employees in high season and has launched the careers of many county and regional residents since opening in 1999. The impact of these employees has put more than $630,000 a year back into local banks, grocery stores and other businesses.
Guests at Rocky Gap who visit Cumberland and surrounding areas spent more than $15.1 million in 2005 and will spend more than $16 million in the local economy in 2006.
In 2005, 161,345 guests enjoyed the resort, golf course, activities and spa.
Rocky Gap paid local vendors more than $1.49 million for goods and services in 2005 and will spend more than $1.6 million in 2006.
Rocky Gap hosted nearly 700 events in 2005.
In 2006, 20,000 rounds of golf will be played at Rocky Gap - home to Maryland's only Jack Nicklaus Signature-designed course.
In 2006, 8,125 spa treatments will be given at the Garden Spa.
Rocky Gap supports local organizations and charities and has hosted events such as the March of Dimes Celebrity Chefs fundraiser, the Lighthouse Academy event and the American Red Cross Mountain Reflections benefit.
Since the resort was built, the occupancy of Rocky Gap State Park and campground areas has seen more than a 60-percent jump in day-use visitors and campers making the park one of the busiest in the region.
"We have had a tremendous impact on the local economy, says Rocky Gap general manager Steele Edwards. "Rocky Gap creates jobs, purchases local goods and services, and hosts more than 160,000 guests each year. I look forward to continued growth and being a good corporate citizen for the entire Western Maryland Region."

Freshman Orientation, 2012
Today is a day! It might even be the day. The greatest day in all of hip hop, even. The one in which XXL Magazine and Diet Mountain Dew announce their esteemed annual Freshman cover, highlighting some of the best and brightest rising rap talents. Their selection is as diverse as its ever been this year, too, featuring wide variety of rappers from the ones who are presently signed to Interscope to those who are about to announce their signing to Interscope.
Make no mistake, the XXL Freshmen isn't about forecasting, or even recommendations. It's about creating an argument and using that argument to remind us that XXL does still exist. Yes, this post only helps to perpetuate that cycle but whatever, it's also a good excuse to analyze the careers of a few buzzed about rappers. And several "buzzed about" rappers. Hit the jump for the report cards.
Bio: A walking can of Axe Body Spray.
Hometown:Atlanta, GA
Label: Epic
Past Year's Parallel: Gorilla Zoe
# of Twitter followers: 117,735
Highest Charting Single: "Tony Montana" (#22 R&B/Hip Hop)
Skills: 6/10 Having trained under the esteemed Dungeon Family crest, Future can actually rap pretty well when he wants to, but that's besides the point because he's on some other other shit and is rarely interested in rapping well. Or at all – he's said that rapping will comprise just 25% of his forthcoming Pluto. The rest will be autotuned spit gurgles. (This whole "skills" category is seeming a irrelevant at this point. Half of the artists on this list are basically mutant R&B singers who rap on the side and the rest are hyper technical showboats who "can rap" but do so in the most hollow sense.)
Creativity: 8/10 Autouned spit gurgles are fucking awesome!
Marketability: 8/10 Autotuned spit gurgles are fucking catchy!
Sustainability: 4/10 Autotuned spit gurgles get boring quickly!
Kid Ink
Bio: All of the worst traits of Tyga and Roscoe Dash combined, and then folded into Chris Brown's body.
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Label: None? Though I'm going to assume he's just secretly signed – in LA they pass record contracts to parents while their children are still in the womb.
Past Year's Parallel: Donnis
# of Twitter followers: 139,228
Highest Charting Single: N/A
Skills: 5/10 When not singing aimlessly, he's a half decent rapper in that sort of limbless post-Drake style.
Creativity: 1/10 Dude is a creative flatline. There isn't a single original idea present in his catalog. He probably needs someone else to pick menu items for him at Denny's.
Marketability: 6/10 Being completely unremarkable can be an asset in today's complex music marketplace. He's a blank canvas for the right cosigns and the kewlest sneakers.
Sustainability: 2/10 Best case scenario: he will sell 80k first week out and then everyone on earth will immediately forget he exists.
Danny Brown
Bio: A haircut that you may have read about on a blog.
Hometown: Detroit, MI
Label: Fool's Gold
Past Year's Parallel: Lil B
# of Twitter followers: 23,422
Highest Charting Single: N/A
Skills: 7/10 Danny knows how to rap.
Creativity: 9/10 First rapper to make a song about stealing copper.
Marketability: 3/10 Dude is far too sonically abrasive to crossover and probably smart enough to not try. Hipsters like him, but that audience tends to maintain a pretty low investment level when it comes to rappers. (It's pretty telling that the bald guy's video album review of XXX has twice as many Youtube hits as any actual Danny Brown music video.)
Sustainability: 7/10 Danny makes smart and emotive album oriented projects. While this is not necessarily the best method for gaining fans it's a pretty surefire way to make sure the ones you already have are going to stick around.
Machine Gun Kelly
Bio: Like Yelawolf, but with none of the nuance or taste.
Hometown: Cleveland, OH
Label: Bad Boy(lol)/Interscope
Past Year's Parallel: Yelawolf
# of Twitter followers: 274,968
Highest Charting Single: "Wild Boy" f/ Waka Flocka Flame (#98 Hot 100; #54 R&B/Hip Hop)
Skills: 4/10 I mean, I guess he can rap…
Creativity: 2/10 He seems like the type of guy who could swiftly create a meth lab, though he hasn't yet figured out how to translate those talents to music.
Marketability: 8/10 He is white.
Sustainability: 7/10 He will still be white tomorrow.
French Montana
Bio: Max B's Second Life avatar.
Hometown: New York, NY
Label: Bad Boy/Interscope
Past Year's Parallel: Wiz Khalifa? Idk.
# of Twitter followers: 241,981
Highest Charting Single: "Shot Caller" (#124 Hot 100; #39 R&B/Hip Hop)
Skills: 3/10 French is a pretty sloppy rapper, if self consciously so.
Creativity: 7/10 He possesses a natural hook writing ability and an impeccable ear for beats.
Marketability: 7/10 His inherent goofiness will probably prevent him from breaking out as a national solo star but he could easily become the dominant hook singer of the moment ala T-Pain or Nate Dogg if he keeps knocking out cameos like "Stay Schemin" and "Everything That Glitters."
Sustainability: 6/10 If that doesn't work out he can forever live out his days on Koch, earning charity spins off The Funk Flex Red Cafe Mixhour.
Don Trip
Bio: The only traditional street rapper on this list. Or maybe the planet.
Hometown: Memphis, TN
Label: Interscope/Epidemic
Past Year's Parallel: Meek Mill
# of Twitter followers: 51,047
Highest Charting Single: "Letter To My Son" (#98 R&B/Hip Hop)
Skills: 7/10 Neck and neck with Danny Brown as the best pure rapper on this list.
Creativity: 7/10 Don doesn't flaunt it, but he's an incredibly creative rapper with a knack for smart, subtle storytelling.
Marketability: 4/10 For all his talents, there doesn't seem to be much of a lane in popular music for a rapper like Don Trip at the moment. He's an old guard anomaly and he sticks out like the good kind of sore thumb in this list full of half retards and white retards. It seems unlikely he that would've even made the cut if it weren't for the Interscope connection.
Sustainability: 7/10 Whatever happens nationally, dude should be golden forever in Memphis.
Iggy Azalea
Bio: A tall jar of Vegemite.
Hometown: A kangaroo's pouch, Australia
Label: Interscope
Past Year's Parallel: Prior to Iggy, XXL had never featured a female or an internationally born rapper on a Freshmen list. She is Jackie Robinson.
# of Twitter followers: 44,567
Highest Charting Single: N/A
Skills: 4/10 I mean, I guess she can rap but her delivery is forced and rehearsed to the point of being grating. It's like skinny elbows flailing. It's a solid rhythmic performance, she's obviously studied better rappers and mimicked them to some success but she does it so mechanically that it's hard to listen to. She's like one of those kids who spends months learning specific Twista verses on Youtube. In fact I bet you could trace many of her flows directly to other existing rap verses, the weird Kendrick tribute above being the most obvious example. In short, she lacks soul. Because she is white.
Creativity: 1/10 At best she's a biter, at worst she's a puppet.
Marketability: 7/10 She is white. And pretty. But there's a certain runway model coldness to her persona that might be off-putting to a mainstream audience. Her posture frightens me.
Sustainability: 5/10 White girls don't usually age well.
Bio: A young white male.
Hometown: Seattle, WA
Label: Macklemore (!?)
Past Year's Parallel: Mac Miller
# of Twitter followers: 44,178
Highest Charting Single: N/A
Skills: 6/10 There's not a lot of heavy lifting going on in his raps but he's less likely to pull a muscle that way.
Creativity: 6/10 He's an idea driven rapper, that's for sure. Think Slug from Atmosphere (the second most influential white rapper of all time), if he rapped about societal issues instead of sad girls. But with the exact same intensity. Every Youtube of his I watched was cloying serious, tracks about the dangers of syrup abuse, the plight of sneaker capitalism, Irish pride, his hometown rap scene. It's nice that he has ideas and messages but it'd be nicer if he wasn't quite so blunt with them. Ultimately though this sort of muted, statement oriented blue collar rap is obviously preferable to MGK's energy drink music but it's not for me, you or either of XXL's regular readers. (I don't know what the fuck this is but I'm just going to pretend I didn't click on it.)
Marketability: 6/10 He is white but he is also very serious. That could work to his advantage if he goes full Kid Rock and starts making soundtracks for commercials that prominently feature billowing American flags. Or it could just turn party minded young people off completely.
Sustainability: 9/10 He is white and he is very serious. Whatever YTs he does manage to win over will follow him to his grave.
Bio: Like Tyler, The Creator, but with none of the nuance or taste. And with an added try-hard Tech N9ne edge on his flow.
Hometown: Los Angeles, LA
Label: Funk Volume
Past Year's Parallel: Cory Gunz
# of Twitter followers: 74,133
Highest Charting Single: N/A
Skills: 6/10 I mean, I guess he can rap…
Creativity: 4/10 Much of Hopsin's recent success is tied to him positioning himself as a rival and formal alternative to Odd Future. (In fact, I almost feel like his inclusion here is at least partially a response to Tyler turning down last year's cover.) This is how twisted the rap underground has become – there is now a market for alternatives to the alternative rappers. Anyway, both acts are heavily indebted to Eminem's style, in terms of both cadence and humor, but they diverge pretty drastically from there. Where OF loosened the flows up and added a layer of absurdism to his referential humor to reflect the Lil B/Adult Swim generation. Hopsin just tightens everything Em did and turns the jokes (which, let's be real, were never that funny to begin with) self serious. His shit is really grating and over-perfomative in a drama club sense too. If you're gonna borrow at least do it with a smile and some swag.
Marketability: 3/10 I don't see his audience extending much further than Juggalos and that handful of kids who think they're too cool to sit at the Odd Future table but are still interested in cutting themselves.
Sustainability: 8/10 The Juggalos are a loyal people.
Roscoe Dash
Bio: A singing mohawk with a chain wallet.
Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Label: Interscope (hmm…)
Past Year's Parallel: YG
# of Twitter followers: 206,931
Highest Charting Single: "No Hands" w/ Waka Flocka & Wale (#13 Hot 100 / #2 R&B/Hip Hop)
Skills: 7/10 I've written about this before but Roscoe absolutely does not get enough credit for his rapping ability. He can effortlessly snap out of his whiney sing song into a very tight double time flow. And, most importantly, he does it in a fluid and engaging manner that a lot of these Hospins and Iggys have almost zero grasp on. He rounds the edges off fast rap. That's why he's on the radio and they are inside of the Youtube.
Creativity: 4/10 Ehh… he's got a nice style but his songs tend not to be about anything at all.
Marketability: 9/10 The go-to XXL safety choice. Between "All The Way Turnt Up" and the dominant "No Hands," Roscoe is going on his third year as an established hit maker.
Sustainability: 7/10 He's lasted this long, right?

What: It was curtains for shares of Stage Stores (NYSE: SSI ) today, as they fell as much of 12%, after missing same-store sales estimates for December.
So what: Overall revenue in the all-important holiday-shopping month increased by 5%, but comparable sales only improved by 2.7%, below the analyst consensus of 5%. Management cited some "early softness" in the shopping season, but said that the final week of sales were strong. CEO Michael Glazer explained:
As has been the pattern over the last several years, our customers clearly waited until the last minute to complete their holiday shopping.
Comps for the combined November and December period gained 5.9%.
Now what: December is a crucial month for retailers like Stage, which operates brand name and off-price stores such as Bealls, Goody's, and Palais Royal, but same-store sales for the month were disappointing across the industry. Several reports asserted that concerns about the fiscal cliff kept some shoppers home or spending less. Even without the macroeconomic slowdown, a 2.7% bump is far from alarming. I wouldn't change my investing thesis based on today's news.

#1 Arrested 396 times, woman knows how to work the system04-22-2013, 04:18 PM
By STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com April 20, 2013 10:14AM
n a sweltering day last summer, traffic came to a standstill on a bustling stretch of Bryn Mawr Avenue in Edgewater, emergency crew sirens wailed and Chicago Police Officer Tom Rolon hurried to the scene.
The crackling voice in Rolons radio reported a woman foaming at the mouth and lying in the middle of the street; Rolon approached and instantly recognized her.
She looked up at me and says, Officer Rolon, I love you, recalled the now retired cop, who spent 17 years on foot patrol in Edgewater. She got up, and all of a sudden shes OK.
Rolon recognized Shermain Miles because hes seen her more times than he can count drunk, half-naked, cursing and, on one occasion, lunging at another woman with a dinner fork.

Loved it.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
The hotel looked after us very well with all the standards you'd expect from a Marriott - everything was done well.
However, the best thing is probably the location - you're right in the middle of the downtown area, plus you're right behind the main cafe & shopping strip so everything is within walking distance.

Historical Traveler Reviews Calgary Marriott Downtown Hotel
Excellent service
I really would rate this a 4* hotel. Location that cannot be better, well-appointed room with all facilites you expected from a 4* business hotel. The pool is fairly large - fine for lapping rather than just dipping.
I receive excellent service from this hotel, starting with the valet people who gladly move my car while I check-in, even though I made it clear from the start I'd be using self-park. Fast and excellent room service, with prices about the same as the main restaurant and no mandatory tip or extra charges. Front desk is efficient and courteous.
Good hotel, great location
Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2005. Welcoming lobby. Spacious room. Huge picture window.
The 24hr 3rd floor fitness room is packed with equipment. The pool/whirlpool/sauna next to it closes at 11pm.
This Marriott hotel is across from the Calgary tower, and a block from the Hyatt and The Fairmont Palliser ... 2 other popular hotel choices. A Starbucks is on the far side of the lobby. There is a Milestones restaurant directly behind.
Great centrally located hotel
We recently spent 5 nights at the Marriott and had a great stay. The only reason that I didn't rate this 5 stars was that in the room we were in on the 9th floor although very quiet you could hear water running intermitantly through the pipes in the wall. Whether this came from the rooms above us or next door is anyones guess.
On the positives the room was lovely, quiet and climate controlled which was great. The lobby staff are helpful accept for one fellow who finds it difficult to smile!
The starbucks is very handy in the hotel especially if you have early morning starts for trips into Banff etc.They open at 6am and serve slices and the usual from Starbucks which is great when you don't have time for breakfast!
Brewsters tours and others stop out the front of the hotel and sometimes at the side which was very handy.
Opposite this hotel is the main Calgary attraction the Calgary Tower located across the road. Shopping is just down the street with the strip full of shops. I would reccomend a restaurant called SALTLIK. We arrived in Calgary at 10.50pm and went into SALTLIK and although the kitchen closed at 11pm they still cooked us up a hot meal after a long journey! This place is very busy and the prices reasonable for a restaurant and they will do you a take away if you ask.
There on the shopping strip is McDonaldsand a Chinese restaurant that is down a set of stairs so keep an eye out for this as you are waling down the main street as it is easy to miss but has great food at a great price.
There is a large shopping mall just off the main shopping strip if you haven't had enough shopping there which has another set of food shops and clothing outlets etc.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone and I would also recommend the Brewsters Mountain Lakes and Waterfalls tour from Calgary. Its an early start but a very scenic tour.
Family Weekend
Our family stayed here on the weekend and had a ball! Excellent location downtown within walking distance of the Glenbow Museum, Stephens Ave., and the Calgary tower. Skip the breakfast in the hotel though- too many $$$.
Would not honour expedia reservation
We booked two nights at the Calgary Marriott through expedia more than a month before our departure. It required a pre-payment for both nights--$500 including taxes. When we arrived at the hotel to check in we were told that they never received our reservation from expedia and they were fully booked for the second night but willing to allow us to stay for one night. The manager disavowed all responsibility and claimed that expedia caused them frequent problems with reservations. Expedia, in turn, said that they had a record of a fax sent to the hotel with the reservation. We did not stay and checked into another hotel--but the Marriott reported to expedia that we had stayed and expedia refused to refund our money! Multiple phone calls to the hotel and to expedia were needed to clear this up and the hotel staff were inconsistent in their claims about whether or not the reservation had been properly booked. Hotel staff were unhelpful and unwilling to take any responsibility. Be warned!
Good for the price I paid.
I enjoyed my stay at the Marriott for the price I payed; I got a good deal with my CAA/AMA card. I loved the location and the Starbucks. My problem's were where my room was. I was on the 8th floor facing downtown....Friday night was alright, but Saturday night/Sunday morning all I could hear was music from a club nearby. I could actually hear the songs in my room, I knew what songs they were playing. I know most clubs close around 2am, but it seemed this one was open longer. So needless to say I didnt get much sleep. Then in the morning, I could hear housekeeping around 8:30am. Which didnt help much. I told the lady at the desk about the music, and she said they knew about it. But for a young person, on a budget, this was a nice treat to stay in.
Nice Hotel
Nice hotel. although placing us near the gym area was not a great idea, noisy or what!!! If you get put near the gym demand another room. It would be nice if they enforced the gym hours as well so people could sleep!!!
Nothing but praise for this hotel
Rooms clean & spacious, comfortable beds, staff are friendly, courteous and helpful and location is a plus. Will definatley consider this for our stay when visiting Calgary again.
Fantastic Hotel

The adventure Continues
... end of June we headed back to Ontario (again!) for cousin Jim's wedding and we loved catching up (again!) with all our family and friends. We went to a Beck concert with Erin and Alon; partook of all the fun and festivities of International Pride Week in Toronto; went on a ghost walk; did a winery tour in Niagara on Canada Day; met up with Jeanne, Scott, Leo, Natasha, Scarlett, and Natasha's stepson, Nicholas, at ...

There is no support provided so each team must be self sufficient. It is about 16,000 km. There are few rules except that the vehicle must be a tiny econobox and completely unsuitable for the journey. There were hundreds of participants leaving Goodwood in high spirits. There was even a Canadian team of ...

Days after Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush announced their split, a video has emerged that shows the couple in happier times. Earlier this month, Kardashian and Bush flew to Botswana and South Africa on behalf of Russell Simmons's Diamond Empowerment Fund. (Also accompanying the couple: Bush's mother and Kardashian's sister, Khloe.) While in Africa, Kardashian and Bush visited schools, social programs and diamond sites.
Bush and Kardashian don't interact on film, but they both seem overwhelmed by the sights of Africa. They are seen playing with children in a village, handing out food and supplies, and even visiting a diamond mine.
"Russell's advice was just take it all in," says Kardashian after seeing school children singing, "to experience what these children have to offer you. They're going to be so open and welcoming and loving, and all of that has proven to be so true."
The Diamond Empowerment Fund was started in 2007 by Russell Simmons to raise money and awareness for Africa's poor.

Conference: American Comparative Literature Association annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada. March 31st- April 3rd, 2011.
Deadline for submission: November 12, 2010
Description: In To Jerusalem and Back, Saul bellow writes that "nation-states have seldom if ever been created without violence and injustice." He is, of course, referring to the price that was paid for the creation of the Jewish state, and paid, mainly, by the Palestinian population. Several decades later, and from a very different political vantage point, Edward Said asks in "Reflections on Exile": "What is there worth saving and holding on to between the extremes of exile on the one hand, and the often bloody-minded affirmations of nationalisms on the other?" The question, for Said, is how to emerge out of historical loss without slipping into the dangerous rigidity of an exclusive nationalism. This is not to take for granted that all facets of nationalism are necessarily egregious. What both authors seem to be pointing out—albeit for different reasons—is the very easy slippage between national survival and the exclusion, and often sacrifice, of a nation's others and outsiders.
In this seminar, we will be considering the different ways that literary, cultural and political narratives imagine a kind of "life after death": imagine different models of social, racial, communal and national emergences from their most central catastrophic losses. And because the most powerful narratives often offer us a new kind of life, this seminar will also explore the tensions between, and codependence of, concepts of historical death and rebirth, exile and national renewal, and consider alternative models of communal survival.
Papers on the U.S., Zionism and Palestine are encouraged.

Not only is the NHL a "Win Now" business, it is also a "Win in the Playoffs" business.
If a coach fails at either one of these aspects, the chances are not good that he will find a way to retain his job.
With the season still in its first month, several coaches could be in quite a bit of trouble before the puck drops on the 2014-15 season. Several of these coaches could seal their fate with poor regular seasons, but others may not see disaster coming until they fail in the playoffs.
Here's a look at the coaches who could be fired before the start of the 2014-15 season.

The only books I've bought are Kumar and Clarke's Clinical Medicine, Anatomy Coloring (it's american..) book, and a neuro book that you don't need to think about buying for a long while yet.

The only books I've bought are Kumar and Clarke's Clinical Medicine, Anatomy Coloring (it's american..) book, and a neuro book that you don't need to think about buying for a long while yet.
Kumar and Clark is a waste of money. So is anatomy colouring book and neuro.
Having bought many, many books over the years the only ones I would recommend are:
1.) A decent anatomy textbook, such as Grants
2.) A decent physiology textbook, such as Pocock and Richards
3.) Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine
4.) Medicine at a Glance
5.) A decent clinical examination/OSCE book
The latter three are required for year 3 onwards.
If you need any more, they can all be loaned from the library.

shark the pre-fresherssee what you lot are talking about
I'm trying to choose accomodation, but i didn't go on the open day and so haven't seen the rooms. Does anyone have any suggestions about the good and bad points about accomodation at mile end vs. whitechapel?
(If i chose mile end, i'd definately go ensuite )
Here's a post I made about a year back wrt everything I know about accommodation. I've quoted myself below:
(Original post by RollerBall)
I'll try do a quick little review. Whenever I mention postgrads by the way, I DON'T MEAN MEDICS. I mean postgrads. I know there was a little bit of a dispute on this thread but postgrads are freshers. They are medics. We are one the same. Postgrads are postgrads doing MScs or PhDs.
Mile end
Small but very modern. Mixed with non-medics. I've got mixed opinions of living with medics. Sometimes I think it's a good idea, other's not so much. Overall I'm glad I'm living with just medics/dentists. They understand the time commitment of the course and we tend to go to the same events.
The campus is really nice, but Mile End is a shed. I generally dislike going to the Mile End campus when we have Anatomy. There's always raging lefties handing out leaflets or people trying to re/convert you. What is it with lefties being like Jehovahs witnesses anyway? At freshers I had this debate with a radical socialist who ended up telling to **** off when I destroyed her with words. Anyway, bit off topic. About 20 minute walk to Perrin or you can bus the 25 in about 10 minutes. Closest station is Stepney which is about a 6 minute walk.
Stuff near by
Loads of fried chicken shops all down ****echapel/mile end/Stepney. There's a spoons just down the road. Drapers is in Mile End but we barely ever go there. There's a 24h pool/snooker house close by too. The campus food is a bit naff, the cheaper area is worse than school dinners (seriously). The other restaurant (muchi's or something vaguely Italian sounding) is alright but overpriced. There's a campus food shop as well but from what I gather people don't really go there.
Other notes
It's the only accommodation with en-suites. Now, this might sound like a big deal (it was to me) but it's really not. Our bathrooms are huge and I've never had to wait for a shower, toilet, sink or anything. There's separated out as well so you can use the sink/toilet while everyone's using showers etc.
Well, I didn't pick it because I wanted to live with medics. I think I made the right choice. Sometimes I miss not being able to hang out with non-medics but not very often. I visit my girlfriend in another university every three weeks or so so don't have much of an issue with that.
Slightly bigger than mile end not as big as Dawson. Rooms are a bit dank and manky. The building is really old. The other big issue with Floyer is the severe lack of freshers. There's so few it's unreal. There are so many more Postgrads(not medics)/finalists 'cause it's close to the hospital.
It's in ****echapel. Slightly worse area than Mile End. So close to the union/library/Perrin/Garrod/Hospital though. Literally 2 minutes. You can get out of bed 10 minutes before the lecture and get there. Really shed of an area though. I'm sure you're familiar with ****echapel by now.
Stuff near by
Floyer has the common room which I hear is pretty cool and often a good place to hang out. There union is near by but it's been a bit of a waste of space this year. Events failed and unless you go to tables this isn't really an advantage. The new sainsburies is about a 5 minute walk away and there are loads of fried chicken places. McDonalds is about a 5 minute walk too. Closest tube station is whitechapel about 5 minutes walk away.
Other Notes
The rooms are quite dank and not particularly nice but the location is really convenient. Lack of freshers is a bit of a pain. One of the girls downstairs was placed in Dawson while her room was fixed in Floyer but then actually requested to come back after a week. Another was placed in Floyer but again transferred to Dawson.
Convenient but bad location and bad rooms. Lack of freshers really sealed the deal for me.
Nicest rooms BY FAR. They're absolutely massive. However, I'm not sure you'll get them. This year we got the postgraduate rooms because they started earlier than us but the rooms were being remodelled. However, no postgrad rooms have sinks. You may get the slightly smaller rooms but have the option of sinks. If you get these though, they are by far the best rooms you can get here. It's only medics/dentists/postgrads. They group you by corridors 'cause it's split into like three corridors per floor. You'll be grouped with medics/dentists. Usually school leavers/gappers on the same floor. Always exception to the room though.
Nicest location by far. Barbican is a really nice area of London. So much so you'll probably never be living here in the future due to house prices. There are some £1million rentals in an apartment block right opposite Dawson. The green outside in the summer is great for BBQs and chilling out. Closest tube is Barbican, 2 minutes away. The 25 bus goes from St Pauls to the union and mile end. Hand bus that connects all of the campuses and accomodation.
Stuff near by
Tesco is right around the corner, no big shops around though which is a pain. Loads of nice pubs around. They tend to shut by about 11 though on weekends which is a pain. The place is primarily a business district so it sort of shuts down a bit on weekends. The sainsburies in whitechapel is right next to the tube station though. Barbican tube station is 2 minutes away. Hence, 10 minute tube journey and 2 minuet walk = big store. There's a waitrose near by and if you go out the back entrance there's a waitrose/decent tesco 5 minute walk away. There's a gym downstairs but it's a bit crappy. We also have the shield. It's a bit like a cafe but it's only really open in the day so it's a bit useless to us. Barts library is just down the corner with a 24h room and because nobody ever uses it it's always got books. St. Pauls is a 10 minute walk which is a big shopping centre. Mostly clothes though. Some restaurants and other shops there too though. Also found a 24h costcutter 3 minute walk away which was immense. Fabric is near obviously.
Other notes
Lack of medics can sometimes be a bit dreary but the thought only passes my mind every once in a while. Usually at exams. The common room downstairs is never used either. Gets a bit annoying to have to stay in the kitchen all the time to just hang out and chill, especially if it's a bit messy.
Well, I have a bias. I chose this accommodation so I clearly think it's the best. Location and rooms are really nice, great retreat from ****echapel. I don't know about the other accommodation but the walls are SO THICK. In the remodel they made them fireproof and you literally cannot hear anything through them. I've only ever had issues once and it was due to massive levels of drunken shouting. Oh, the ceilings aren't so thick though and overly loud sex girl has earned herself a rather apt name.
Anything else you need to know or query, ask. Hope this was helpful. Mile end and Dawson both have their advantages and disadvantages. Mile End is a bit more "studenty" but we're not normal students doing normal degrees. I like that everyone in Dawson gets that. Do you need an en-suite? Mile end. Do you want to live with non-medics? Mile end. Everything else, got to be Dawson <3

LEWISTON — It never gets old for St. Joe's hockey.
For the eighth time in 11 years, St. Joe's is the New York State Catholic High School boys hockey champions, defeating St. Anthony's of Long Island, 3-0, at Niagara University's Dwyer Arena.
"This is a real special group," said St. Joe's coach Richard Crozier. "This is our 25th win of the season, 18th win in a row. We lost two games all year [to teams] not even in our state."
St. Joe's Dennis Gilbert was named MVP, scoring the third goal of the game in the second period, while Dimirtios Gogos recorded a goal and an assist and Nicholas George preserved the shutout with 14 saves.
The game took a dramatic turn during the final 13.9 seconds of the first period. After back-and-forth play from both teams through most of the period, which saw St. Anthony's goalie Dan Peterson stand on his head and teammate Zach Andersen hit a post, Gogos opened the scoring for the Marauders on a wrist shot over the glove of Peterson.
Then, just trying to not let St. Anthony's get a shot off the rest of the first period, St. Joe's scored again right at the buzzer as Michael Hubert jammed one home after a scramble in the crease.
As the buzzer was going, the referee was emphatically pointing to the net, signaling the goal.
"Our goal was basically just get it down there so they don't get a shot," Hubert said. "I tried to get the wraparound and [Peterson] stuffed me, then kept going and going until I saw it cross the goal line and went nuts."
Those final 13.9 seconds proved to be the straws that broke St. Anthony's back as St. Joe's dominated the rest of the championship game. The Marauders outshot St. Anthony's, 31-5, during the second and third periods. Peterson finished with 47 saves and was the lone bright spot for the Friars.
"Our coach always said last-minute goals are inexcusable because how killer they are, and the fact that we got two in the final 15 seconds is phenomenal," said Gilbert, who has verbally commited to play at Niagara. "Since then, we just had the confidence and just rolled with it."
Gilbert scored a power-play goal in the second period where he walked in the slot and rifled one in the top of the net.
Gogos and Michael Iannello were credited with the assist.
The Marauders finished the year 25-2-1 and will graduate 10 seniors.
"I can't tell you how proud I am of these boys and how hard they worked," Crozier said. "It's a special group, a very special group."

Virginia Tech's six-game home conference winning streak came to an end with a 76-61 loss to boston college. To call this loss disappointing would be a gross understatement.
Coming off an emotional win over the top team in the country three days ago, the Hokies returned to the court for their final home game of the regular season… and promptly laid a big egg. On senior night no less.
The Hokies were badly out-rebounded 38-24. Tech was bad in just about every category. They shot just 42.9 percent from the field (24/56) and a woeful 17 percent (3/17) from three-point range.
Sophomore Erick Green led the Hokies with 21 points. Seniors Malcolm Delaney and Jeff Allen has 17 and 14 points respectively. Allen had just nine offensive touches the entire game, yet still managed 14 points.
The Hokies got off to a promising 4-0 start, but the eagles used a 19-2 run to blow by the Hokies and never looked back. Tech managed just 10 points in the first 11:45 of the game.
boston college, like uva, was money from behind the arc, hitting a dizzying 7/13 three pointers in the first half to help the eagles to an 18-point lead. Tech responded with a short 15-5 run to cut the lead to eight at the half, 27-35.
The Hokies came out in the second half with a pair of three pointers to cut the lead to five, but that's as close as they would get. Ice cold shooting and inability to play effective defense led to a 20-point deficit – the Hokies' largest of the season. And when we say "ice cold" shooting, we're talking multiple air balls. It was bad folks, really bad.
We could talk about the refs and the questionable calls, but give bc credit – they shot the lights out and frustrated the Hokies defensively. They did what they had to do to win.
Green summed it up in the post-game presser. Here's the quote from the HokieSports.com recap:
"It's simple," Green said. "We didn't come to play. We got embarrassed. I feel bad for the seniors because that's not how you want to go out. But hands down, we got outplayed. They got ahead too quick, and we tried to ramp it up. But they just beat us."
Unless Tech can pull off a road win against clemson and win 1-2 games in the ACC tourney, it looks like it'll be another NIT appearance. Here's hoping the Hokies can pull off an upset on the road to salvage any hope of an NCAA tourney bid.

My Story
A long time ago, I started making movies. This was back in the day when 1) one had to put the VHS tape directly into the camera, 2) the only way to edit was to rewind two VCRs, and 3) the actors' time on set was limited by when Mom made them go to bed.
I didn't go to film school, but I've watched a lot of bad movies, made a bunch of my own, and that's a pretty good education right there. But the real world said "get a job," so I did (occupational therapist), and thus abandoned my filmmaking dreams and focused instead on writing and photography.
One day I went to my first NAB convention in Las Vegas with a bunch of radio people. First surprise: They have TV and film stuff here?! I abandoned my job at the radio booth and, being a DSLR photographer, wandered over to Canon. When I arrived at their booth, Vincent LaForet was at the podium, playing some mind-blowingly gorgeous footage from his reel. And this, he said, was created using a Canon DSLR camera. Wait. Really??
I think you all know that this moment had an impact on a lot of people, myself included - for the following syllogism began to take shape in my brain as I stood there:
- Laurie is a photographer with a DSLR camera who really wants to be a legitimate filmmaker but can't afford the equipment to make a legitimate looking film
- A DSLR camera can be used to make legitimate looking films
Hence, my film career was reborn.
Now, I'm the founder of 4DHD Films, where I wear every hat, including actress, director, writer, editor, visual effects and motion graphics artist, and frequent builder of kluges.
We are using a Canon 5DMkii, generic Cavision rigs, things we made at Home Depot, and Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 (including Premiere Pro and After Effects). I'm a die hard Adobe fan and would shave my head and follow them around the world if they were a cult. Andrew Kramer taught me almost everything I know about AE (videocopilot.net). Currently, I'm stepping up my visual effects and am now in the process of learning Autodesk Maya and The Foundry's Nuke (thanks to the awesome people at fxphd).
