Online Catalogue | SOFTWARE | EDITING PROGRAMS | Sony Vegas
Sony Vegas was recently bought from Sony by Geman company Magix. Magix have their own editing program but have said they will continue to develope Vegas, and have promised that version 14 will be announced at the end of Sepctember 2016. Presumably it will be retitles Magix Vegas.
Sony Vegas is a very comprehensive program which has advanced effects, excellent audio editing, decent realtime support and comprehensive DVD and Blu-ray writing using Sony DVD Architect which is supplied with Vegas.
You can buy the program in several versions:
♦ Sony Vegas EDIT - just the editing program, Sony Vegas. This includes the ability to output to DVD and Blu-ray without menus. ♦ Sony Vegas Pro - Sony Vegas with Sony's excellent DVD writing program, DVD Architect. ♦ Sony Vegas Suite - the Vegas editing program with DVD Architect for authoring, Sony Sound Forge for manippating the sound, Sony Production Assistant (various extras for Vegas) and HitFilm 4 - a compositing program which "dynamic links" into Vegas rather like Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro.
Sony Vegas is slightly different to your average editing application. For example, clips are called "events" and can be dragged out well past their last frame; if you do this then they either loop or freeze depending on your preference. This may sound a odd but comes from Vegas' origins as a sound sequencing program, where you would lay a sample of a drum, for example, and them repeat it several times to produce music. There are other small things like this which are different from other programs; these are not necessarily bad things, just different to the norm, so you just need to learn the Vegas way of doing things. Vegas' origins as an audio program do mean its audio capabilities are brilliant and you can even lay out an music CD using the program!
Vegas was one of the first programs to edit STEREOSCOPIC (3D) footage and output 3D as well in a large number of different formats. Editing footage in 3D is called "stereoscopic" or "stereo" editing in an effort to try and distinguish it from 3D effects - such as a 3D picture in picture effect (something which Vegas also does very well too).
Obviously the first thing you have to do is to film in 3D using either two cameras or a dedicated Stereoscopic camera. These will generally produce two video clips for everything filmed - one for the left eye and one for the right eye. You take both clips, line them up on the timeline and then combine them into a single clip. You edit as normal but at the end produce a 3D master which you can burn to Blu-ray disc.
Vegas has a lot of nice 3D tools and can output it's 3D image in all sorts of ways. You can view the 3D on your computer screen using old fashioned red and blue-style glasses, or connect the computer up to a proper 3D screen. Vegas lets you watch a 2D picture on the edit screen but a 3D picture on the output. You can view a full quality STEREO picture using an nVidia graphic card- with the latest versions of Vegas you can use either a regular card or a Quadro card (earlier versions would only work using the more expensive Quadro cards). If you use a different device like a Blackmagic Intensity or Blackmagic Extreme HD you can also output a 3D image to a 3D TV, however this would not be a full quality 1920x1080 50i image and would have to be a SIDE-BY-SIDE or TOP-BOTTOM image. This is the same as other programs which support 3D editing like Grass Valley EDIUS or Avid Media Composer.
Vegas' 3D support does not stop there. If your left and right video clips do not quite match you can use Vegas' tools to align them. You can also apply Vegas' 3D stereo adjust filter to any clip on the timeline, like a title for example, and adjust its position in 3D space. You can even keyframe it so the title appears to move towards you.
Grass Valley EDIUS is actually better when it comes to playback of footage - it can generally handle full quality playback on a reasonable up-to-date computer where as Vegas will struggle slightly unless using a powerful machine, although there is one area which sets Vegas' 3D editing above the other programs - output. Vegas can output a full quality 3D Blu-ray in the standard formats (1280x720 50/60P or 1920x1080 24P) which EDIUS and Avid cannot do. The other programs can manage half quality SIDE-BY-SIDE or TOP-BOTTOM discs but not the FULL QUALITY discs. If get Sony DVD Architect with Vegas you can even do full quality STEREOSCOPIC discs with menus - something you normally need to spend a lot of extra money to achieve.
Like most programs Vegas can capture DV or HDV footage using the built-in capture application. You can add various cards which will also let you capture footage through other sources - component, composite, HDMI and HD SDI. These cards are either from Blackmagic or AJA. Blackmagic have an Intensity Pro 4K card with all these connections except SDI and the card is only about £150.
See our pages on the different hardware available with Vegas for more information.
Vegas editing is similar to other programs. As you can see from the above picture we have a source and destination window (called the trimmer and the preview window in Vegas) a project window and a timeline where the clips are laid out. The trimmer can even show you the sound wave form at the same time as showing you the picture which is helpful.
Once you get used to Vegas' methodology editing is pretty similar to other programs - although the tracks in Vegas go in no particular order -you can end up with your sound above your video, for example - this is not a major problem just different to other editing programs.
One very useful feature is the ability to add video as takes - you can have 4 different takes of the same clip occupying the same place on the timeline and switch through them at the press of a button.
Vegas is excellent at effects. It has great realtime playback - it was doing realtime effects out to FireWire long before any other program even thought of it. There are also a variety of quality settings and at the top setting the quality is very good. You get less realtime playback at the top settings, but the quality does rival and even beat some of the other programs.
There are various quality settings and you can preview effects at low, auto, good or best quality, meaning that you can always choose a setting where you see something. Everything is realtime and the list of effects is huge and includes excellent primary and secondary colour correction, good quality motion paths, a nice titler, and wacky effects like old movie, TV simulation, lens flaresand glows.
One area that Vegas is slightly different to other programs is 3D motion. Vegas actually has excellent 3D motion paths and can do more in 3D than most programs. You can move clips around in true 3D - so they can fly around each other, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, and create really stunning effects. The only downside is that 3D can only be applied on a track level - so that on a long project with various sections in 3D you would end up with lots of tracks!
Vegas can apply keyframable mattes to clips, with edge feathering. This kind of feature has slowly made its way into every editing program, so is now in Avid and EDIUS (although not in Premiere Pro) and used to be the kind of effect you would need to go to a program like After Effects or Boris to achieve.
You can use these masks for isolating an area of the screen, for example a person moving, and keying it onto another background.
This list of useful effects is huge and all are thoroughly keyframable. It even has media generators which can create moving background textures - very handy for the background of a DVD menu, for example.
Vegas also has keyframable slow motion, again previewable in realtime, and when rendered, due to Vegas subsampling, very smooth.
When it comes to effects Vegas sometimes feels a bit like After Effects with a bit of editing thrown in, rather than an editing program with effects. You can also nest effects by putting one project inside another and you can have several version of Vegas running with different timeline open when editing.
Another interesting feature is that you can use other machines on your network to render effects with Vegas, if you purchase additional licences.
You can write Blu-ray discs directly off the Vegas timeline - these would not have any menus, just video. However, DVD and Blu-ray writing is best handled by Vegas' companion program,DVD Architect. Architect can only bought either in a bundle with Vegas or on its own. It has a full set of features like Adobe Encore DVD, and you can have multiple menus, slide shows, video menus, subtitles, etc. as you would expect.
The MPEG files required can be created in Vegas, which has an excellent high quality two pass VBR encoder - using the same Main Concept engine as Encore. Alternatively you can create them in Architect, although strangely this only has a single pass encoder. One nice feature in Architect is the Optimise DVD menu where you can specify the encoding settings for each video or you can specify some and tell Architect to fill the disc with the rest.
Architect integrates very well with Vegas. In Vegas you can enter chapter points which are carried over to Architect and you can type subtitles in the Vegas timeline and these too can be carried over to Architect. This makes positioning subtitles much easier.
You can encode to H264, the most popular format for Blu-ray discs faster by using a graphic card with CUDA chips (found on most up-to-date nVidia cards). The more powerful the card the faster the rendering.

As you might expect from the makers of Sound Forge, the sound side of Vegas is excellent. The display of the sound waveform is accurate and once the "peak" file is written, takes no time at all to be updated as you zoom in or out. Vegas also supports proper surround sound mixing and, unlike Premiere Pro or Avid Media Composer, you can make full 5.1 Dolby digital DVDs straight out of the box (with Premiere you need to buy and extra plug-in to achieve this). Grass Valley EDIUS can make a 5.1 Surround sound file but not mix it in the first place. Vegas can do both.
There is a large range of useful audio effects - although all have to be rendered. Vegas does do this very quickly when asked and automatically replaces the original clip with the new render on the timeline without any intervention. Vegas supports DirectX effects and VST plug-ins.
Anther interesting sound fact is that Vegas, like Premiere Pro, edits down to the sample level as opposed to the frame level, so you can get much more accurate positioning of your sound effects.
We recently had a need for some ADR (automatic dialogue replacement - where you re-record dialogue and overlay it on the original video) and the sample level editing and time stretching abilities of Vegas proved to be the best choice. Adobe now have a brilliant way of matching ADR takes in their sound program Audition, which makes ADR recording quicker than Vegas, but if you don't have Audition, Vegas is the next best choice.
Vegas can capture from HDV cameras using its own utility. Editing the native files is also very good and has improved compared to previous versions of Vegas. Vegas can also record back to HDV as well.
Vegas supports all variations of AVCHD files on the timeline. It actually does a pretty good job of playing the files back -although Premiere Pro and Grass Valley EDIUS are a little bit better for full quality playback with a couple of layers of files. If your computer is not powerful enough then Vegas will drop the quality to maintain a proper speed playback - meaning that even on a lower spec computer the playback is still usable. Althought native playback is a bit better in other programs it is good enough in Vegas for it not to be a major reason to choose EDIUS over Vegas.
Vegas Device explorer shown here will show you the contents of any card or camera connected to the computer and you can select which clips are needed. Vegas will then copy the clips off the card and into the project folder, making importing AVCHD relatively easy.
Vegas supports native XDCam-HD and XDCAM-EX files. As you would expect for a Sony program it actually supports both Sony's formats very well and has its own built-in loading module to get the footage in quickly.
Vegas 12 finally supports Panasonic DVCPro out of the box. In previous versions you would have to buy an extra plug-in to load P2 clips.
The great RED camera, as used by film-makers for its huger than HD quality and excellent picture, is supported in Vegas. Vegas will edit the RAW footage, unlike a program like Apple Final Cut Pro which has to convert Red footage to QuickTime to edit. Vegas support is similar to the way Adobe Premiere Pro supports RED footage.
These days there are huge numbers of different formats available including MOV files, MP4 files and lots of variations of H264. Vegas will let you drop most of these onto the timeline and started editing without any extra hassle - a bit like Adobe Premiere Pro and Grass Valley EDIUS.
Price:£266.68 +VAT (£320.02 Inc. VAT at 20%)
Sony Vegas Pro 12 without DVD Architect. This version just contains the editing program. You can make very simple DVDs and Blu-ray discs from the Vegas timeline without menus but need DVD Architect to make proper discs.
Price:£430.03 +VAT (£516.04 Inc. VAT at 20%)
Includes Sony DVD Architect and Sony Vegas Pro 13 .
This version is a combination of Vegas and DVD Architect.
This is the boxed version of Vegas. It has exactly the same features as the download version and does not come with printed manuals, so the only real difference between downloaded version and boxed version is that the boxed version has installation discs and costs slightly more because of the postage.
Price:£617.90 +VAT (£741.48 Inc. VAT at 20%)
Includes Sony DVD Architect , Sound Forge and Sony Vegas Pro 13 .
Price:£109.00 +VAT (£130.80 Inc. VAT at 20%)
A selection of useful extras to auotmate tasks within Vegas.
Developed in partnership with VASST, the Vegas Pro Production Assistant plug-in enhances the functionality of Vegas Pro software with a set of batch processing and workflow automation tools. The Production Assistant plug-in automates many frequent tasks and processes to save hours of tedious editing work. And, with a complete set of video tutorials to help you get started, it's easy to use.
Sony's excellent DVD and Blu-ray authoring program which gives you complete control over practically every aspect of disc creation.
DVD Architect Pro is only currently available in a bundle with Sony Vegas Pro - previously it has been available on its own, at a cheaper price. The change is because Sony have sold Vegas, Architect and many of their other software programs, such as Sound Forge to Magix. Magix have not yet said whether Architect will continue as a stand alone program, however, for now we can only buy DVD Architect with Sony Vegas.
It can do all varieties of DVDs and Blu-ray discs including full quality Stereoscopic discs with menus. This program is available as a download version ONLY. This means when you order the software we supply a serial number and you download the software from Sony and install it. This is a permanent licence - even though the software is downloaded it acts in exactly the same was as a boxed version, and is not time-limited or cloud-based in anyway.
Sony DVD Architect is a very fully featured program which does everything you need when DVD authoring as well as Blu-ray authoring. It includes several features such as scripting and buttons over video that are not available in Adobe Encore. Everything is freely configurable, although Encore is arguably more intuitive.
Available only with Sony's high quality editing program, Vegas.

OMG WHAT?? YOU WENT ON DAT SITE?!? Yes people, if you search through the list of leaked names, you'll find mine on it. I won't link to it here out of respect for other's privacy (because the hack includes physical and IP addresses as well as e-mail accounts and I'm pretty sure it's a crime to share it), but yes, if you scroll far enough, you'll find my info. I know, you have questions. Really good questions, that I'm sure have nothing to do with simple curiosity and aren't judgmental in any way, right? So I'll attempt to answer them below…
- Q: What is Ashley Madison? I've never heard of it. A: Ashley Madison is a dating website marketed to people who "seek to have an affair." Don't worry, I'll address that phrase later. It's basically a poorly built OKCupid or Match.com that tried to woo married people or people in a relationship that want to have some sort of sexual liaisons with other people in relationships to give AM money in exchange for exactly that. (I'll address that, too).
- Q: Wait, I know you! You're not married or in a relationship! A: Correct! I am neither married nor am I currently in a relationship!
- Q: Were you in a relationship when you signed up?? A: No, I was not in a relationship when I signed up!
- Q: That's kind of sleazy… A: Totally. It is definitely sleazy, which is why I had to see it. Sleazy things are interesting and hilarious (as long as they're not illegal).
- Q: Well then, what the hell dude? Were you trying to pick up married women?? A: No! I've been single for a very long time (b/c it's great) and really don't need a dating website to get laid (sorry, Mom). And even if I were and did try, it's totally not possible on Ashley Madison, anyway (I'll explain that, also). I logged into the site last year, along with eHarmony, Match.com, and OKcupid. Basically, all the major ones that I could think of that aren't FarmersOnly.com (hilarious), ChristianMingle.com, or some small offshoot.
- Q: So why go to it then? A: In a nutshell, Craigslist! Bear with me here. One of my favorite things to do is read the Missed Connections section on Craigslist. Why? Because it is genuinely the funniest thing on the entire internet. A friend of mine told me about it (the same friend that told me about AM, actually) and I've gone to it at least once a week to get some big LOL's. If you've never experienced it for yourself, peep it here: http://lafayette.craigslist.org/i/personals?category=mis. In case you're wondering, AM is nowhere near as good. It's the opposite, actually. Nobody writes anything (I'll explain why in a bit).
- Q: So did you communicate with anyone on it? A: Nope! It costs money to communicate with people on it. The way it works (from what I can remember), is that you have to buy credits to view and send messages to people, which is different from something like Match or eHarmony, which are both monthly subscriptions which included unlimited communication (and are both very expensive, and in the case of eHarmony, require a 3 month commitment, which was a PAIN IN THE ASS to cancel). So, you have to buy a starting amount of credits for a set price to send or view any messages. Only after making the minimally required profile did I get to search it. You have to have a screen name, city, and a few "interests," which are hilariously all sex stuff, even though they use the scientific terms for things to keep it classy!
- Q: What was on your account? A: Only what was required to get in. No real name or address. Also no pictures, bio, or anything like that.
- Q: But on the leak docs, I can see that you paid money. A: Yes. It was about fifty dollars to buy credits. I've heard from a few people that were on the list that the money amounts in the leak were incorrect by up to $400, with some never even paying anything but showing on the leak docs as having paid. The leak said I paid $98 dollars, which is incorrect. I only spent $50 (I looked at my CC statement on 8/27 to confirm.) $50 is expensive (and the minimum you can buy), but not as expensive as an eHarmony subscription, which was the most costly, and again, a pain in the ass to cancel, so I kept getting charged). Right after joining, I received about two or three messages from different accounts. I thought that I needed money to open them, but actually you only need money to reply, so basically I wasted $50 because I didn't read the instructions, which I do often because I am a man and we don't like to read instructions. And the money to me is really not a big deal anyway, considering that I just spent $300 on an original Nintendo that can plug into an HDMI and go 1080p HD. As far as dumb purchases go, it's not even in the top 10. (UPDATE 8/27: I was talking to a guy who was on the site yesterday and he says that you DO need credits to open and read messages. He said that it's 5 credits to open and 5 credits to send. He also said that in order to get full access to the site, you have to pay. If not, you can only see very limited info and can't search. I'm glad that he cleared that up because I couldn't really remember. Also, I looked at my credit card statement and discovered that I in fact had only spent $50.)
- Q: So who were the messages from? A: Remember when I said that I'd explain why using AM successfully is nearly impossible? Here's why. The messages I received were from BOTS. A Bot is a fake profile that's artificially created to catfish people. Have you ever received a friend request on Facebook that you were pretty sure wasn't a real person? That's a Bot. That also answers the question of how I got messages without even having a picture or a name on the profile, in case you were wondering. It also means that the site is literally FULL of fake profiles. After scrolling through it for a few minutes, each page had about 1 or 2 real women (I think) and the rest were all either fakes or ones like mine, people who wanted to look and never filled anything out. (UPDATE 8/26: My theory has been proven to be correct. You can read about it HERE.)
- Q: You said that there were real women on it. Who were they? A: I'm not sure who they were (although you can find the list on your own and have a gander, but you might not like what you find), but I am 99% sure that the majority of real female profiles on AM were escorts (I didn't search for dudes. I mean come on, really?). If you went to the main profile page and looked at the very top, they had premium accounts of ridiculously (suspiciously?) hot women from other countries featured that would actually FLY TO YOUR CITY! So yeah, definitely escorts. I looked through the leaked list, and I was only able to find approximately less than 5 or 10 women in the immediate area (Lafayette Parish). To me, when you combine the bots and obvious escorts, it seems really, really hard to actually be able to use AM for its intended purpose of having "extramaritals." So ladies, if you find your significant other's name on there, my opinion is that you can be 100% sure that if he did manage to cheat on you with another woman, it was NOT because of AM (if it was, it's probably because he's gay, which is 1000x more possible as the post-leak stats say that the site is about 95% dudes). So, if you are a dude "seeking to have an affair," you'll have to go to a bar or something, cause it ain't happenin' on AM (again, unless you're gay, which is cool, but you should just tell somebody. Especially your spouse, because not only is it not fair to you, it's also not fair to them. It's 2015, so it's OK and way more dangerous in the long run to hide it).
- Q: That's it? A: Yep, that's it. Not only was it a waste of money, but also a waste of time. I mean, I could've read ALL of Baton Rouge's CL Missed Connections in that period of time and bought a new Apple product (OK… heavily used Apple product, like MAYBE an iPod Nano). To be fair, all the dating sites seem to be a waste of time, but I thought this one to be the worst, with eHarmony being a close second. For real, that old dude in their commercials is a damn snake oil salesman.
- Q: So why didn't you cancel it? A: Good question! If you read the hacker's reasoning behind publishing the list, they stated that they (allegedly) did it because AM were charging people to delete their accounts. That is true. They wanted either $20 or $25 to delete my profile. At that point, I was already in the hole fifty bucks, so I just said screw it and left it there. Since I hadn't put any pictures or real info up and wasn't being charged a monthly fee, I just left it and forgot about it. And let's be real, if I had paid for deletion, I'm not sure it would've kept me off the list anyway. I feel better saving the cash and writing this hilarious and self depreciating blog post.
- Q: Are you concerned that your personal info is out there? A: Not really. Everything that was leaked is pretty much public knowledge anyway, except for my IP address and credit card number (which expired before the hack and as of now is only available to see on the dark web via a .tor, so I'm not worried about that either).
- Q: Are you embarrassed that everyone knows you went there? A: Nope! As a matter of fact, I'm glad I checked it out because I learned a lot! I learned to read instructions before spending $50. I learned that there's no way their reported numbers are correct. I learned that in a town of about 250,000 people, potentially only a few people around here actually signed up, and even fewer managed to use the thing (That's just a guess, though. I'm really good at internet-ing and it was even confusing to me). So, in general, the whole "sanctity of marriage" thing is working out, er, at least when it comes to the internet. And to be quite honest, I know that over half of you are reading this with a browser history full of porn.
- Q: So who should be embarrassed then, smarty pants? A: The only ones who should be embarrassed are:
- Actual married people who's spouse/significant other didn't know they joined. Even if you joined for a goof or out of curiosity, you've gotta communicate that. I've been single most of my life and even I know that. Suggested embarrassment level: 75%
- People who used business e-mails to sign up. Come on man, that can totally get you fired. Suggested embarrassment level: 50% (75% if you work eHarmony or Match)
- People who used .gov e-mails to sign up. Haven't you guys seen enough stories on Gawker about government employees using their e-mails for personal stuff (looking at you, Hillary Clinton). Suggested embarrassment level: 85%
- People who hold public office, ESPECIALLY "family values" Republicans. They found out about David Vitter (currently running for Governor) soliciting prostitutes, did you really think that this wouldn't get out eventually? They are looking for you to mess up! If you hold public office and talk openly against this kind of stuff and they catch you, you deserve to be called a hypocrite. Suggested Embarrassment level: 95%, unless you are David Vitter, because after getting caught soliciting actual prostitutes, nothing can embarrass you besides your policies.
- Religious Authority figures. This one should be self explanatory. To be honest, I'm somewhat amazed/baffled/bumfoogled that Josh Duggar was able to use this website successfully and I wasn't. Suggested embarrassment level: 234%
- Lastly, THE HACKERS AND EVERYONE WHO THINKS THEY'RE THE GOOD GUYS AND SHARES THE LIST. I know that everybody likes to laugh (because it is kind of hilarious, in a way) and wants to know everybody else's business, (cajun culture, amirite?) but hacking into a website and mass doxing millions of people's personal info and credit card numbers is a major crime and an even more major invasion of privacy. Even though it seems silly, people do have a right to privacy, even if what they're doing doesn't meet your particular moral standards. What about people who openly use it and their spouse is OK with it? Even though those are few and far between, those people do exist (and from what I can tell are very secretive about it, for obvious reasons). The hackers are criminals who just happened to decide on AM as their target. How much do you think people would be freaking out if they decided to target Facebook DM's (which probably facilitate more infidelity than anything on the internet) or your bank accounts instead of AM? The only reason that they didn't is that their "ideology" just happened to be this instead. I can almost guarantee you that they'll do it again (because it's fun to get attention) and you might not like it next time (because everybody has some weird shit that they secretly enjoy, mine is Craigslist missed connections and U2). If you see anyone sharing the list, report it and encourage that they take it down. Let's not help anyone who's going to try to use it for nefarious purposes (identity fraud and extortion, specifically). I know that some people will say that I think that only because I don't want people to see me on the list, but I just wrote 2000 words on it and shared it to Facebook to everyone I know, so that logic can do what AM can't and go F itself. Suggested embarrassment level: way more than anyone on the actual list, because unlike them, you are an actual criminal.
So there you go. Did I answer all your questions? I find that most people who are fascinated with seeing the list haven't even investigated it at all and just saw somebody on FoxNews talking about it and just assumed that anyone who is on that site is just havin' a big ol' country fried orgy. Not the case at all. As a matter of fact, it's the total opposite. My experience level with it is as follows: Ashley Madison is boring and you should just go to Craigslist for your entertainment. Or Facebook. Or a bar. Or Tinder. Or a concert. Or literally anything else.
UPDATE 8/24: I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday (8/23) who signed up a few months ago with her husband to see what all the fuss was about after they heard about it from someone. They used his name and info to sign up, took a look, was unimpressed (like me) and never thought about it again. After the list got leaked, he got a phone call from an anonymous person demanding cash in exchange for not telling his wife that his name was on the list. Fortunately for him, she already knew, but this is exactly the kind of stuff that will happen as a result of this. And apparently, it's happening all over. She also said that the leaked docs show them as spending $300 and she knows for a fact that that didn't happen because she manages their bookkeeping. She's the second person that I talked to who've said that.

With the introduction and widespread use of sulfanilamide in the treatment of puerperal infections, much work has been done on the effect of the drug on the sick mother.1 The excretion of the drug in men and in nonlactating women has also been studied extensively,2 but I have been unable to find any work on the excretion of sulfanilamide in the lactating human mother. This work was undertaken to study the possibility of excretion of sulfanilamide in human milk and to determine, if possible, the amount of both sulfanilamide and the conjugated form of sulfanilamide which are known to be present in human blood3 and, therefore, could possibly be present in human milk.
The method described by Marshall2 in which alcohol is used as a protein precipitant cannot be applied to milk because of the high fat content of milk. An appreciable amount of fat

Top Ten Crash Bandicoot Characters
The Top TenXW
It's Crash Bandicoot. Of course he's number 1. I'd say N. Gin is definitely deserving of No.2 but Cortex should be No.3. Crash Bandicoot is one of the greatest series ever created! Especially the Naughty Dog games.
He's Crash Bandicoot. He's the whole reason the game was made. How could he not be first?
Crash Bandicoot - the best PlayStation character in history, 1996-2000 that is, naughty dog come back please!
Best in crash of the titans - smegmaV4 Comments
This guy is the beast! I'm surprised he isn't number one, I mean come on, flame-thrower wielding badass crocodile! Win.
Think about the first time you played Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Now remember the first time you fought in the boss battle with Dingodile. I think you see my point now.
Seriously, I'm happy that Naughty Dog made him one of the playable characters in CTR so it put him in the spotlight a little more! Best theme music+awesome personality=Awesomeness!
His boss fight was epic in twinsanity - ilovelifeV6 Comments
"Well, I've made a few... MODIFICATIONS to my mechanics since our last encounter." - xandermartin98V4 Comments
If you have played Crash Twinsanity you will 100% know why I vote for him
Awesome in Crash Twinsanity, very charismatic and fun character
He was one of my favourite villains and he's pretty funny too, not to mention that he's also my fave design as well as N. Gin
Tiny is by far my favorite and I refused to ever play Crash Bash with my friends unless I was Tiny tiger. This guy was definitely an awesome boss in Warped but not very hard to beat compared to his size
Tiny was probably the most consistently fun boss in the Crash Bandicoot series. Although he isn't completely the best character, every game he appeared in, he has been one of my favorite bosses due to the replayability and overall fun factor.
Baddest character on the game! All the other villians look like jokes except Dingodile.
He my go to guy in nitro kart, team cortexV4 Comments
Crunch was a pretty boss in Wrath of Cortex and he's preetier in Crash of The Titans. I knew he wouldn't be at the top and I respect others opinions so that's it.
Ripper Roo and Pasadena O'Possum, or Ripper Roo and Coco Bandioot! Coco also would make an even better couple as Koala Kong and Coco or Coco and Rilla Roo! Pasadena and Crash would be good too!
Ripper roo is sick, he is an insane kangaroo. Haven't seen anything like that have you?!?
Ripper Roo and Coco or Ripper Roo and Pasedana O'Possum would make a great couple!
Number 14? He needs to be way higher. Come on he's a classic! He's "The Joker" of the Crash world. Easily top 5.V3 Comments
Coco Looked Like a Cute Little early Teenager 13-year-old In Crash Of The Titans! Coco Bandicoot Looked Best In Crash Of The Titans! Coco and Rilla Roo, Coco and Koala Kong, or Coco and Ripper Roo would all make great couples!
Coco and Rilla Roo would make a great couple, and so would Coco and Koala Kong!
1. Coco and Rilla Roo(5 stars)
2. Coco and Koala Kong! (5 stars)
3. Coco and Ripper Roo(4 stars)!
Go Coco-
Coco Bandicoot sure can rival Luigi just like how Crash Bandicoot & Mario are rivals.
Great character in the racing games and he's so cute!
She looks pretty in Crash Of The Titans and Crash Mind Over Mutant, and ugly in Ripto's Rampage, Crash Twinsanity, and Crash Tag Team Racing! Nina Cortex and Koala Kong would be so cute together!
She looked good in crash of the titans and mind over mutant, but ugly in earlier games such as crash twinsanity, crash tag team, and ripto's rampage.
Nina Was Only Cool In Crash Of THe Titans and Crash Mind Over Mutant. She Was Terrible In Crash Twinsanity.
Looks great in crash of the titansV9 Comments
The Contenders
I love his ability in Crash 3 to be able to take over Cortex's body movements by sticking to his face, it was really cool how he could do so to be a full character, more than just a mask.
He Looked Good In Crash Of The Titans and Crash Mind Over Mutant!V1 Comment
He is lumping awesome a huge adorable koala bear I mean come onV1 Comment
Sounds like a gangster in crash of the titans
Brio was the only character in the Crash Bandicoot series that I think was better in Mind Over Mutant. Every single other character was absolutely awful in both character design and personality.
I'm talking about the Crash Bandicoot and Crash Bandicoot: Cortex strikes back Brio, not the new oneV3 Comments
The classic crash games on PS1 weree the best games ever, so many memories of me and my cousin playing those games. CTR was my fav, I remember the time I finally unlocked Oxide from the time trials, classic memories - dragon13304
I agree, he is simply a legendary character in CTR, but it took me forever to beat in the acarde mode :(V1 Comment
N. Tropy is a master of time and quantum warp technology, and an old friend of Uka Uka's. Tropy has the ability to control time, but he is easily frustrated and has a very short patience, which makes this his major weak point. This happens because every moment he wastes feels like an eternity to him.
He usually carries around a giant two-dented fork which he uses to create energy beams and other similar things. His career peak was the creation of the Time Twister, a station capable of warping anything through time itself.
One of the doctor's hobbies is disturbing the time flow by creating time paradoxes for laughs.N. tropy was initially partners with Cortex, but the two of them eventually became rivals instead.
You on my time ya little skunk - N Tropy, Crash 3 Warped, one funny characterV1 Comment
Why's he so low? A New York, Italian American, tommy gun wielding, mafia don. Was really disappointed he was only really in 2 games, was great fun and a great character
Pinstripe is awesome. I'm still questioning why there's a mob boss in a kids game.V1 Comment
It would be cool if we found out that The Bearminator was Polar's uncle, he turned good, and moves in with them on their house/hut on Wumpa Island!
It would be cool if we found out he was Polar's uncle, he turned good, and moved in with them at their hut/house on Wumpa Island

Olivet engineers are missioneers — engineers with a Christian purpose.
We challenge
our engineering students to innovate with a purpose and bring hope to those in
need through design, science and innovation.
Dean Shane Ritter: "There are many places in
this world where people lack hope and need the good news of Jesus Christ. "Among
gifts that bring hope to the hopeless are medical assistance and intuitive
engineering solutions for communities. These solutions include electrical
power, sanitation management, irrigation solutions, proper building
construction and water purification, to name just a few. As Christian
engineers, we have the great opportunity to identify and address these
engineering challenges in order to bring hope to the nations."
As an Olivet engineering student, you have opportunities for
life-changing Christian mission opportunities where you apply knowledge and
gain experience in high-need regions of the world. You are among men and women of faith and
service who are eager to use their gifts to bring hope to others.
Engineering Alumni Excellence Award
Missioneering is nothing new to Andy Kizzee '07, recipient of the 2015 Engineering Alumni Excellence Award. As an Olivet student, he led a senior project to design and install a water purification system for a Nazarene outreach in Argentina.
After graduate school at the University of Memphis, where he studied structural engineering and developed an interest in earthquake engineering, Kizzee and his wife, Susan (Fleming) '07, interned for a year with Engineering Ministries International (EMI) in India.
The couple then returned to Memphis, and Kizzee earned his professional engineering license while working as a consulting structural engineer.
In 2014, God called the Kizzees back to India to work full time with EMI. In addition to Andy's responsibilities as director of the office in New Delhi, India, he is leading EMI's efforts in providing disaster response services in Nepal after the devastating earthquakes of 2015.
Missioneering Around The World
For a glimpse of other missioneers in action, check
out the photo albums for Olivet Nazarene University Engineering on Facebook. In recent years, engineering
mission projects include:
• Haiti 2016: Plumbing, roofing, pipe and gutter work• Haiti 2015: Rainwater collection systems• Arizona 2015: Technology for Native American children; construction and irrigation• Swaziland, Africa 2013, 2-14: Irrigation system for AIDS outreach

Women's share of labor force to edge higher by 2008
February 14, 2000
Overall labor force participation rates will continue to rise among women and edge down among men between 1998 and 2008. As a result, women's labor force growth should be faster than men's—about half again as fast, in fact.
[Chart data—TXT]
As more women are added to the labor force, their share will approach that of men. In 2008, women will make up about 48 percent of the labor force and men 52 percent. In 1988, the respective shares were 45 and 55 percent.
These data are a product of the Employment Projections program. Find out more in "Labor Force," (PDF 105K) Occupational Outlook Quarterly Winter 1999/2000.

The triumphant event in the study of chronic infantile paralysis is the change in the minds of the profession toward a more favorable prognosis. Whereas only a decade ago the accepted verdict was that "muscles which do not recover in the first weeks or months usually remain paralyzed for a whole life time" (Strümpell), now the belief is that "treatment faithfully and persistently continued is frequently rewarded by the return of power and usefulness in the atrophied and helpless limb" (Young).
Coupled with this change is the growing confidence in the simpler forms of treatment for this disease. For instance, it has but recently dawned on orthopedists that in tendon transplantation the benefits derived were due to the persistency of the after-treatment rather than to the substitution of a healthy tendon for a degenerated one.

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
For me it's not a matter of choosing a mouse with a laser sensor over optical, it's that there aren't any mouses with a ****ton of buttons in addition to an optical sensor. All of the Razer Naga models and the G600 use lasers. I play RPGs and MMOs more often than I play shooters though so it's a concession I'm willing to make but I'd love to get the best of both worlds.

This is the mouse i've got. While the build quality is atrocious... the sensor hasn't done me wrong at all... No idea what the sensor is so I can't shed any light on that.

Yeah, I think that is a legitimate reason. I mean, there are other characteristics to consider, and how much you value them depends largely on the type of games you play.
In my first comment on the topic I said "granted, sometimes people get them for other characteristics like a specific shape or the number of available buttons", which is kind of what you are saying.

You mean the lift-off "Issue" where the cursor will move as though it was "bumped" slightly when you pickup the mouse?
Had a mouse that used the Twin-Eye sensor. Given that I run decently high sensitivity, I didn't lift the mouse off much so the issue wasn't noticeable. Genuinely the only time I noticed it was in Windows while browsing or whatever and I saw the cursor drop about an inch. Big deal.
Currently using a mouse that has the Avago ADNS-9800 sensor in it. And while I use about 1/4 of it's max DPI, it's still plenty accurate for me. And as for lift-off, again I only notice it in Windows when the cursor moves like, 1/4-1/2".
Having used a couple optical mice, and a 3-4 laser mice, I can't say I see any reason to be completely bias toward either. And to be perfectly honest, the Optical mice have bugged out on the "odd" (Non-Mousepad) surfaces I've tried using MORE than the Laser mice.

So I see all the flaws for laser sensors posted but are optical sensors flawless? Is there not one advantage to getting a mouse with a laser sensor over a optical sensor?
They are not flawless, but they avoid the most hated problems. For example, the Avago 3090 is perhaps one of the most popular alternatives to laser mice. Usually, the implementation of this sensor has no prediction, no acceleration, good tracking speeds, no lag or delay, no excessive smoothing, no jitter, and no pixel walk. The common problem is a high lift of distance. However, that does not mean that every implementation of the A3090 comes without problems. It has been used in mice where it performs terrible (Puretrak Valor), or where the tracking speeds were actually fairly low etc. Zowie manages to reduce the lift of distance of the sensor, but there seems to be a slight problem with interpolation to attain DPI settings not native to the sensor.
You still need to consider a mouse's individual characteristics. Just because it is optical does not mean it is good, or it does not have tracking characteristics that you might not like. It is just because all current laser sensor has issues that are viewed as quite serious, that people turn towards optical mice, where some of them perform well without problems that are quite as large.
This thread has more info on mice with optical sensors and their specific problems:

I went from a wireless laser (Logitech MX Anywhere) to a wired Optical (Logitech G400s) and don't notice anything different other than DPI.
So its either not there or I don't notice.

I'm no expert. But EPS 0.02 below expecations, but I'm guessing that was reflected in the last 2 weeks beating. So I'm assuming we've seen the bottom?
I agree he's somewhat of a prick. Clearly EXPD won't dump to the level he suggested. When you take away all of the obnoxiousness of his posts (about 90% of the post), his basic argument is as sound as any. If you disagree, what do you think is the appropriate value of EXPD and why.
Ok....so what to do now. In November, I'm leaving the company for an alternative position with another company in a different industry and obviously have told no one of this as I am an "at will employee" and could lose what I have if they knew. I have nearly 7,000 options fully vested, with an average cost basis of 17 and change. They were accumulated over 13 years. I believe I must exercise (sell) before I go.....or I will lose them. The recent drop has me concerned, as I am not connected in anyway to those that might know anything and I'm far removed from knowing anything about the company's internal growth, future prospects, etc..... Should I just sell what I have now and take the recent price hit.... or should I hold on and hope to see better stock prices later this year? I'm thinking 35 is better than 30, but 45 is also much better than 35! Point is I must sell before November!
First of all, beware of advice from clowns like 'forgetaboutit'. He has no better understanding of the future prospects for this stock than you do. He would have told you to sell all EXPD 6 years ago because of a high PE ratio and you would have missed out on 2 splits.You should consult immediately with a CPA who has a good understanding of the tax implications of incentive stock options. Your current 'tax return guy' probably won't be familiar, so do some research and interview CPA's. You will definitely have to 'exercise' the options before you leave and you may not really have many choices. Just look at it as gravy and the money you save by getting the taxes right will probably amount to more than the money you will gain or lose by minor fluctuations with the stock. You'll have a nice little chunk of change so interview financial planners as well for better advice on the future possibilities of this stock vs other investments you could make with the proceeds. Best of luck.
what were you thinking when this was 58 post split and you didn't dump any or did you?
you will not see 40 again this year and you run the risk of going under 30 soon. imop
First off let me say that I am looking to buy shares of the stock. But I have no interest in it just yet. I think it is a great company and when the economy turns around it will do extremely well. That said it also is still not what I would consider cheap here at these levels in this environment, even though it is getting closer to its lower range of its historical P/E range. Analysts here are way off base and are way behind on this one though and still have their estimates way to high for this and the next year. They still have their estimates for earnings growth in the upper teens for those years and there is no way they are going to be even close to that in this environment. Analysts being behind the power curve as they usually are will finally start to have to reign in those estimates and that will most likely be a constant pressure on this stock until they get it down to about what this company is actually going to earn in this period. I think it will take a couple of quarters to get there with them.
So what you're saying is that "forgetaboutit" will be right. Except his prediction will occur about 2 years after he said it would. Which really isn't an accurate prediction then.

With winter and cold temperatures not too far off, Hydrotex has tips for maintaining an operation's diesel fuel storage tanks and the fuel itself to avoid weather-related problems during the season.
The company, a manufacturer and distributor of high-performance lubricant and fuel improver solutions, recommends annual inspection of fuel tanks, which helps in diagnosing any potential problems, such as water contamination, biological growth and sediment that might be present in the tanks.
Officials said that with solid information about the tank's condition, treating the fuel inside with a winterizing additive will help minimize any fuel-related problems.
According to Hydrotex, winter fuel additives help by:
• Keeping the fuel flowing in cold temperatures by lowering the pour point and the cold filter plugging point
• Dispersing moisture to protect against fuel filter icing and corrosion
• Cleaning fuel injectors to improve combustion and fuel economy
• Enhancing lubricity to prevent fuel pump and injector wear
• Improving storage stability by reducing fuel oxidation
Anyone with fuel-related questions may contact Hydrotex for assistance at [email protected] or (800) 527-9439. The company can design a customized year-round fuel treatment program.

Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada is leading the country again
and his main goal is to rescue Bolivia from a debilitating
four-year recession.
Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada is once again president of
Bolivia. He took office in August at the head of a coalition
government, after winning a tight election race. Sánchez
de Lozada, known everywhere in Bolivia as 'Goni,' is a
millionaire businessman who is both a hard-nosed, pro-market
politician and a visionary leader whose policies have helped
reduce poverty significantly over the years. He earned a degree
in philosophy and English literature from the University of
Chicago, and still enjoys the delights of poetry as well as
fine living. A box of Montecristo cigars and a volume of poems
by WB Yeats sit on a table in his office. Sánchez de
Lozada won an international reputation for his forceful and
successful attack on hyperinflation in the 1980s, when he was
the economics czar of then-President Victor Paz Estenssoro. In
1993, Sánchez de Lozada was elected president and
unleashed a whirlwind of...

Crisply executed dialogue elevates 'Understudy'
"All I see are movie stars movie stars movie stars," laments Harry, the journeyman actor in Theresa Rebeck's rollicking "The Understudy," now on stage in a fun Renaissance Theaterworks production that opened Saturday night. "It's like a disease," Harry continues. Or "maybe more like 'pathology.' Or 'ongoing cultural disaster,'" he concludes.
All true enough, if one is keeping track of the numerous Hollywood stars making fools of themselves on Broadway. But as Rebeck's title suggests, Harry is now understudying one of them: an action-movie stud named Jake, himself improbably understudying an even more famous Hollywood co-star. »Read Full Article

We've been reviewing CRN's list of thirty essential studies that must be performed before we can have an adequate understanding of the potential societal impacts of nanotechnology. Studies 17 through 30 deal with "Policies and Policymaking." These studies assume the existence of a general-purpose molecular manufacturing system. We list problems and opportunities raised by molecular manufacturing, and point out the difficulties of making policy to deal with them.

When you buy laptops, tablets or other pricey electronics - salespeople often try to sell you special insurance to protect against loss, theft, or damage. That's a particular concern for college students - especially those who'll be living away from home. But don't be pressured into saying "yes" right away. Added insurance can come in handy if your iPad, laptop or other gadget has to be replaced, but you can protect both your gadgets and your budget by doing a little homework before classes start this fall.
Student apartments and dorm rooms are filled with TVs, computers and just about every other high-tech gadget you can think of. Insurance experts say in many instances, those devices are already insured when the student moves into their temporary campus home.
"As long as that college student is a resident of their parents' home, the parents' renters or homeowners insurance extends to that student," explained Karl Newman of the Northwest Insurance Council.
Newman says students are typically protected for up to 10 percent of the content coverage on their parents' homeowners insurance. If the homeowners policy covers $350,000 for the home's contents, $35,000 of that is applied to the student away from home. For a parent with renter's insurance, the maximum $25,000 coverage for contents would apply $2,500 to the student property.
But Newman says you may want to consider extra insurance protection if you're concerned about your electronics breaking down after they're out of warranty.
"Breakdown coverage is not part of a homeowners or an auto policy that you typically get from your insurance company," he says.
Special coverage for electronics is relatively inexpensive. For e-readers, for example, you can buy $200 worth of coverage for around $20 a year, or $400 of coverage for $40 a year - with a $25 deductible. You can get $500 worth of coverage for an iPad for around $40 with a deductible of $50. Premiums vary depending on the device and the company.
Best advice - whether you're buying new electronics or sticking with what you already have, call your own insurance company and find out what kind of protection you have for all your gadgets. Then ask about extra protection. Newman also suggests students consider buying their own renters policy if their living conditions qualify. And if you're home for the summer but left belongings back at school - a word of warning: don't stay away too long. Having insurance won't help if you break the terms of the policy.
"The coverage that does extend from your parents' homeowners or renters policy, sometimes is limited in terms of duration. So if you leave a bunch of stuff at your dorm room and come home for the summer, some companies limit it to 60 days, you've got to go back and check on it," says Newman.
If your insurance company doesn't provide special protection for electronics, ask your agent or broker for referrals to reliable companies that do. The Consumer Federation of America suggests you'll generally get a better deal by shopping around and buying electronics insurance on your own, instead of simply buying the insurance offered at the point of sale.
Just be sure to find out who actually handles the claims, and follow up to make sure the company is reputable. Check for any complaints with the Attorney General and BBB in your state and in the state where the insurance company is located. And never take anyone's verbal promise about what any insurance will cover. Take time to read the policy carefully before you sign.

Jason A. Schall of Charleston, S.C. becomes the first winner from the United States to receive the IGFA International Sportsmanship Award.
The International Game Fish Association Chester H. Wolfe Outstanding Sportsmanship Award is an annual award given to one angler from around the world who exemplifies fair play, graciousness, respect, and ethical behavior while fishing in a tournament. The recipient is considered for the award based on their love of fishing, respect towards tournament officials and rules, as well as their basic competitive nature and fellowship.
Mr. Schall, an avid fisherman and conservationist, was recognized for sharing his love and passion for the water with children, friends and those who are new to the sport. During the Ministries2Men Angler's Cup held in Charleston last June, Schall decided to make a young boy from his church, Conrad Seaman, his partner, forgoing a "professional" team in order to honor the child's wish to go fishing. While fishing for bait prior to the event, Schall accidentally skewered his foot with a heavy spear on the boat. The injury was severe, requiring anesthesia and surgery. However, instead of resting after his release from the hospital, Schall took a two-hour nap and awoke in time to honor his promise to the little boy. Not only did they compete that day, but they won first place in the catfish category.
In addition to mentoring both children and adults in the sport he loves, Schall is an avid conservationist. During another tournament, Schall and his team forfeited fishing the event in order to rescue hundreds of game fish they discovered were dying of oxygen deprivation. He serves on multiple tournament boards and encourages catch-and-release.
Mr. Schall was honored with his award during the 75th anniversary banquet at the IGFA Hall of Fame and Museum in Dania Beach, Fla. More than 350 guests from all over the world were in attendance for the presentation.
The International Game Fish Association is a not-for-profit organization committed to the conservation of game fish and the promotion of responsible, ethical angling practices through science, education, rule making and record keeping.

A bag of groceries was missing from our order (which happens, people make mistakes, no big deal), even though it was a Sunday I was still able to reach an associate who helped me very promptly. The person on the phone was polite, understanding and acted quickly to resolve my problem. Within 2 hours of my phone call the missing groceries were delivered to my hotel door. Despite a minor packaging issue with some of our items I've never had any problems with Garden Grocer and would recommend it to any traveler looking for such a service.
Wonderful service. We were missing a few things and had a great response to the problem. It was fixed within the hour.
The produce was nice. The order was accurate & on time. I would definitely use GG again in the future.
