NAB 2016 is almost here, and we'll be exhibiting in the Central Hall in booth #C9515. We're excited to be doing something brand new at the show this year: our focus will be on curating all the best and most relevant technology from the show in the form of presentations, tours, and more. In this way, we aim to help our clients get the most out of their NAB show experience. Don't forget to stop by our booth and pick up one of our custom show guides!
Below, our technical specialists have rounded up some of the most exciting new product and technology trends to look forward to at NAB 2016.
HDR: On Set and In Post
One of the big trends of 2016 is, no doubt, HDR. We've had High Dynamic Range cameras for a while, but now the time has come for HDR displays to really visualize what our cameras can capture. Sony has lead the way with their BVM-X300 4K OLED HDR display, which is found in many post houses. This year at NAB, Sony will announce a new larger 4K OLED HDR display that is a perfect companion to the X300. If you haven't seen an HDR monitor in person yet, make a point to stop by the Sony booth to see what we're talking about.
Up to this point HDR monitors have really been built for post suites. But now we're seeing the first monitors built for the field as well. The first is Canon's DP-V2410, a 4K HDR reference display. It can output an edge-to-edge brightness of 400 nits, has a color gamut near REC2020, and is ruggedly built for field use. Add to this its ability to work natively with Canon raw, ACES modes, and 3D LUT support, and this monitor is uniquely built for all modern digital cinema workflows.
Beyond this, we are starting to see the first smaller HDR displays. With Atomos' recent announcement of the Shogun Flame and Ninja Flame, seeing HDR on set in an economical and practical form factor is finally a possibility. AtomHDR delivers the ability to see and record 10-bit to match 10-bit camera LOG footage from cameras that shoot in Log such as Canon, Sony, Panasonic, JVC, ARRI, and RED. Now we can finally see detail in highlights and shadows usually clipped on traditional (REC709) monitors, while still maintaining vibrant colors. Both Flames can record 4K/UHD to ProRes or DNxHR. The Shogun Flame accepts SDI, HDMI and RAW and the Ninja Flame accepts HDMI. These 7" 1920 x 1200 monitors / recorders also feature a durable form factor, as well as a High Bright 1500 nit display when viewing in Standard Dynamic Range modes for those bright exterior scenes. We're very excited to see these paired with our favorite Log and RAW camera systems.
Last but not least, SmallHD is surprising us all by introducing several not-so-small monitors, and yes they are HDR too. At NAB SmallHD they will release three new monitors, at 17", 24", and 32". These are all 10-bit HD LCD displays, which utilize the same amazing interface as found in the 502 and 702 monitors. The 17" and 24" both have 1000 nit max output, giving you proper HDR rendering and great high bright performance; the 32" pushes that up to 1500 nit output. What we really love about these monitors is just how well designed they are for on-set use. SmallHD has made them extremely rugged with many mounting points and even a rail shoe mount system for mounting power and wireless accessories. These monitors are definitely bringing HDR to the set in a big way.
Camera Evolution
NAB always brings camera updates, and this year is no different — but the theme may be more evolution than revolution. Rather than seeing whole new camera systems, we are expecting to see more evolutionary updates to our favorite cameras. The first is the VariCam LT, which takes the amazing image quality of the VariCam 35 and brings it into a smaller, run-and-gun style package. The LT has many of our favorite features of the 35, including dual native ISOs, remote color management, and simultaneous proxy recording. It's built tough and balanced well, really perfect for doc, news, and non-scripted work.
ARRI is also evolving their cameras with the release of the ALEXA SXT, and new updates to their ALEXA Mini. The SXT, with Super Xtended Technology features ProRes 4K recording, full 3D LUT and ASC CDL support, and open gate 4:3 and 16:9 sensor modes which record in ARRIRAW or ProRes up to 120 frames. These cameras have the ability to capture that ARRI look we love in 4K Cine (4096 x 2636 pixels), 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels), 3.2K, and 3.4K, allowing you to pick the right resolution for your project and post workflow. By incorporating the electronics of the ALEXA 65, the image has enhanced features such as advanced pixel correction and optional noise reduction.
The ALEXA Mini has also got a big update recently with the SUP 4.0 firmware release. This update gives ARRIRAW internal recording as well as 4:3 mode recording license options. With an ARRIRAW license, you get 16x9 Raw recording to the internal CFast 2.0 cards. With the 4:3 license, you can take advantage of the full sensor height in the camera, allowing you to work with anamorphic lenses. Combine both of these licenses and you can record the full "Open Gate" sensor area of the sensor in raw. Pretty big updates for sure. Check out the ALEXA Mini built up in different configurations in the ARRI booth, and make sure to look for their new Camera Control Panel (CCP-1), which can be daisy chained with the EVF on the Mini or AMIRA for camera control on the dummy side of the camera.
Canon has consistently been updating their camera lineup, with the C300 Mark II being their latest big evolution. This year at NAB we should see some firmware updates to the C300 Mark II that add to its already impressive functionality. Look for more details to emerge in the coming weeks.
RED has been expanding their camera platform over the last several months. The WEAPON is now joined by the SCARLET-W and RAVEN cameras, giving you options at all price points. The WEAPON is the full-featured camera with resolutions up to 6K and a huge range of frames rates and compression options. The SCARLET-W drops this to a max of 5K, but with many of the same options, and finally the RAVEN comes in at 4.5K with a feature set perfect for anyone just getting into the cinema world. All cameras feature both REDCODE RAW and ProRes recording, making them fit into a wide variety of workflows. And they all can utilize the variety of DSMC2 monitors, EVFs, and expansion options. And of course, the big thing that we all want to see in the RED booth this year is the 8K WEAPON, featuring a full-frame 8K sensor. Certainly worth the price of admission alone.
Sony has been committed to updating and evolving their F5/F55 platform for years now, adding feature after feature to this camera line. This year they will be showing their new AXS-R7 Raw recorder for the F5 and F55, which enables full 4K RAW at 60 fps in the F5, and up to 120 fps with the F55 camera. For shooting at higher frame rates, the recorder captures 2K RAW at up to 240 fps from the F55 and F5 for playback at 10x slow motion. While we are talking about Sony and Raw, they will also be showing Raw output from the PXW-FS5 camera, which will work well with external recorders from Convergent Design and Atomos. Make sure to stop by the Sony booth to see the R7 and updated FS5.
OZO & 360º Video Acquisition
Another a big focus of NAB this year will be Virtual Reality and 360º video. With new viewing devices and content distribution channels on the horizon, everyone is looking for new tools and technology in this space. Nokia recently announced their OZO camera, one of the first professional VR/360 video cameras. This unique camera features eight 2K x 2K cameras and full 360 audio, all fully synced together on a single recording. It also has the unique ability to live preview an output over a single cable. Nokia will be showcasing some updates to their system along with some live streaming solutions, so make sure to check out their booth in the North hall.
Most 360º video today is produced with GoPro cameras, so this will be a big focus for them. They will be showcasing end-to-end 360º solutions with their cameras and software tools, so make sure to visit GoPro as well.
There will be a full VR pavilion in the North Hall at NAB this year where you'll find all kinds of new hardware and software.
Servo, Zoom & Prime Updates
Over the last couple of years we've started to see proper ENG style lenses coming out for Super 35 or larger sensor cameras. This trend really started with the Fujinon Cabrio and was continued by the Canon Cine-Servo. This year we're going to see that trend continue with updated optic options from manufacturers like Fujinon and Canon. The Fujinon Cabrio XK6x20 20-120 PL lens was just announced, which gives you an impressive 20-120mm focal range at a consistent T3.5 aperture. This lens performs very well optically, yet comes in at an impressive new price point, which means many more of us can afford a lens of this caliber and function. Be sure to stay tuned for an exciting lens announcement from Canon as well.
We've also seen several anamorphic lenses announced over the last few years, and this year Angenieux will add to their collection of anamorphic zooms with their new long-range Optimo 44-440 A2S. This lens builds on 50 years of tradition at Angenieux, who's first anamorphic zoom was introduced in the 1960s with the Panavision 50-500 APZA. The new lens features traditional 2x horizontal squeeze, minimum breathing and distortion, and a fast aperture of T:4.5 across the zoom range. It has a great close focus of 4' 1" (1.24m) and is one of the lightest lens in its class at 16.6 lbs (7.55kg).
Zeiss will be showcasing their latest line of SLR/CSC lenses for E-mount cameras. Starting with the top of the line, the newest lens in the Zeiss Otus line is the 1.4/28mm. With their medium format image quality, even at their fast open aperture of f1.4, the three lenses in the Otus line also feature incredible color resolving power and an easy to grip ring for smooth focus pulls. Next is the latest from the Milvus line. The features of the Milvus line pairs beautifully with cinema use, with precise manual focus, high contrast, and low light stray, allowing these lenses to pair with the latest technology of the newest cameras due to their ability to display HDR and resolve on 6K cameras. Next up are the Batis lenses, the Sony E-mount auto-focus line with two focal lengths of 21mm and 85mm. Both are extremely lightweight (.75lbs and 1lbs), incorporate easy to read OLED displays for depth of field references, and versatility for auto and manual focus.
Other big updates in optics to look for include several new additions to the ARRI Master Anamorphic set, updates to the Leica line of Summicron-C lenses, and something really interesting from Angenieux that you'll have to wait and see.
Camera Mobility & Smart Drones
Last NAB was the year of the drone. This year things will have calmed down a bit, but we'll see some impressive updates regardless. Freefly recently had some big announcements in this area, including a new ALTA 8 multi-rotor with payload capacity of up to 20 lbs. The ALTA 8 expands on the original ALTA line with increased payload and improved performance. They have also updated their MoVI firmware with modes for time-lapse and GPS or target tracking. These modes all greatly expand the functionality of the MoVI both on the ground and in the air.
DJI is constantly updating and improving their aerial platforms, both their cameras and the intelligence of their systems. The Xenmuse X5R, 4K Raw capable camera for their Inpsire 1 drone is now shipping. The X5R has a micro 4/3 mount, enabling it to work with a variety of DJI, Panasonic, and Olympus lenses. It is a fully functional camera, and can be controlled completely from the DJI app for iOS & Android. This little camera, perfectly made for their UAVs, could make a real impact. And you can also put it on their Osmo handheld gimbal system. They have also just released the Phantom 4, which has all the features of the 3, but with forward facing sensors to detect objects that it might impact. This gives the system the ability to avoid collisions and track subjects. DJI will have a big presence at NAB this year, make sure to stop by their booth.
Cameo Accessories
Another must see at the show this year will be right in our own booth. We have recently introduced several new pieces in our line of Cameo accessories, including our V-Lock kit, VESA mount system, LANC control cables, and camera risers. They're all designed to fill in the gaps and make connections between traditional camera gear. We like t0 think of these products as the "glue" that brings your camera system together. This year we'll be introducing more camera accessories such as our new Cameo Grip, which has LANC functions built in and adds comfort and stability to handheld operation of lightweight cameras.
We're also excited to see what's new on the lighting front. We know there's a definite move towards more output and less power draw from smaller, shapeable sources. This trend enables the use of LED lights with the quality and shape you want for your shot and the mood you are creating. Fixtures are becoming lighter-weight and more practical for your shoot — whether run-and-gun or traditional cinema. Litepanels announced their new 1x1 Astra Bi-Color LED panel, a new light in their LED 1x1 line that has the softest wrap of all of them. Another new trend with lighting that the Astra follows is controllability. It is controllable by 512DMX standard protocol or wirelessly through the Litepanels SmartLite app. The app also lets users control multiple lights at once, with distinct controls for intensity, color temperature, fan, and more. A lot of our favorite lighting manufacturers like ARRI, Fiilex, and Hive are expanding their lineups, so we're anticipating those announcements as well. We also heard Nila will be offering a discount on their Nila Boxer Deluxe Kit. Stay tuned as we find out more from the showroom floor.
IP Video
Another important trend at the show that we should all be looking at is the big transition to IP-based video. Traditionally, video is sent around a studio or other facility over SDI and coaxial cable. With the transition to 4K, this is quickly proving to be limiting and not future-proof. So companies like Sony, Evertz, NewTek, and others are developing systems to transmit video over traditional IP networks. This can greatly reduce the costs of upgrading or building new facilities, and adds greater flexibility. Sony has been leading the pack by introducing their XVS-8000 flagship switcher, which can switch 4K or HD and uses the Sony Networked Media Interface (NMI), which transmits audio and video over a standard network cable.
NewTek is also getting into the IP video game with their Network Device Interface (NDI), a new open standard for live production IP workflows over traditional Ethernet networks. NDI allows multiple video systems to identify and communicate with one another over IP, and to receive many frame-accurate video and audio streams in real time. This new protocol can benefit any network-connected video device, including video mixers, graphics systems, capture cards, and many other production devices. The free SDK for NDI will be available in Q4.
Shared Storage & Asset Management
With so much content being produced these days, the challenges of storing, managing, and archiving media comes to the forefront. To learn more about shared storage solutions, stop by the SNS booth to see the latest version of their EVO system. Version 5.8 introduces a way to share Final Cut Pro X libraries, which has been a real challenge in the past. They've also updated their ShareBrowser asset management software, which is a tool that's included with every EVO.
For more shared storage solutions, make sure to stop by ProMax and check out the new updates to their Platform series of workflow appliances. GBLabs will be showing off their HyperSpace SSD Accelerator, which uses a solid state system for speeding up read and write access. Finally, EditShare is debuting their XStream EFS Systems specifically for 4K/UHD systems, as well as new remote collaboration features for AirFlow.
For your asset management, be sure to visit CatDV and Axle Video. CatDV announced a whole new suite of updates including CatDV 12, Worker 7 and Pegasus Server. All are aimed at providing more power with simpler interfaces and new tools for web-based users. Axle will be showing off their new panel for Adobe Premiere CC, as well as overall improvements to the search and administration capabilities.
In terms of archiving, you should stop by the StorageDNA and XenData booths. Both provide unique archiving solutions that are worth checking out. Storage DNA is debuting DNAFusion, a new storage solution built on Sony's Optical Disc Archive media and StorageDNA's media intelligent software. The solution presents a new storage media that is removable and capable of a 50-year archive. However, it is random access with plug-and-play ability for tasks such as browsing, playing, sub-clipping, transcoding and more. XenData is showing off their newly announced DX-240, a near-line disk archive system with continuous backup to LTO-7.c
We are looking forward to meeting you at booth #C9515 and answering all your technology questions! For regular updates from the show floor, don't forget to visit our AbelCine NAB portal: nab.abelcine.com/nab-2016

The Shard
|Also known as:
|Shard Tower
|Also known as:
|The Shard of Glass
|Shard London Bridge
|London Bridge Tower
Few large projects in London are built without controversy, and The Shard is no exception. Having Europe's tallest skyscraper in London wasn't the problem. It was just that many people didn't want to see it. Though Europe was a leader in creative architecture and skyline transformation in the late 20th century, by 2000 China had taken over that title, and the Europeans wanted skylines they felt were more classic, human, and traditionally European.

people are forgetting this building wasn't built for Londoners or the British it was built for foreign investors on foreign money. They don't want it to look like a traditional London building that tourists flock to see because of its history. they want it to look like every other skyscraper in the world to attract the wealthy.
nikki j - Friday, April 3rd, 2015 @ 1:25pm
I have fallen in love - with a building. I cannot get it out of my mind, it is so magnificent, so elegant, so clever. And it suits London perfectly. Thank you.
Charlotte - Tuesday, August 5th, 2014 @ 12:23pm
What a wondrous structure this is with much internal work to be completed. I look forward to seeing the opening of the restaurant(s) to be opened on the floors 31-33.
Mike Higham - Friday, March 8th, 2013 @ 4:37pm
The Shard is so perfect for London. The historical side of London is enhanced by contrast with this stunning, modern beauty. Can't wait to visit!
Liz - Sunday, February 3rd, 2013 @ 8:38pm
It looks very impressive but you would not get me up there and I would not be too keen to get within falling distance should some nutter decide that he wanted to impress Allah!
Gordon Eden - Sunday, February 3rd, 2013 @ 9:01am
Looks good to me. The one critiscm I'd make, and it applies to all such buildings, Swiss-Re et al. They're all: look at me, each uping the ante on novelty, none really complement the environment in which they site, none do anything to complete or add to surrounding buildings. The area they're in starts to look like a junk yard, just a collection of unrelated shapes that look like some kid has randomly strewn an assortment of mis-shapes across the landscape.
Roger M - Wednesday, April 18th, 2012 @ 9:56am
Dull, dull, dull... I survey buildings old and new for problems, many via roped access, so have an unusual view of how these things work (or not). I was surveying a building next door to the Shard last week, and from close up it's uninspiring, where is the thought or invention? Mr Piano has hit a bum note this time. If they'd built it upside down, now that would have been something...
Stonetapper Baz - Sunday, February 12th, 2012 @ 3:23pm
The project is cool, the location is cool. I was pleasantly amazed when I saw it, for the first time, in July 2010. Without tall towers and/or skyscrapers a metropolis is just a huge, flat, decrepit, sad, village. London is, definitely, my preferred metropolis of whole Europe.
Moreno - Saturday, December 3rd, 2011 @ 12:56pm
All the one-star ratings must be the typical mind-numbingly conservative Brits. London needs to change and become more modern; the gherkin was a world of good and a modern icon, the Shard is the next step. An analogy is Jaguar cars: until recently they hadn't changed stylistically for decades and were losing money, now they are the epitome of modern and making massive profits. People need to let London adapt to the reality that it is the 21st, not 19th, century.However, it's position on the lower-rise South bank is slightly odd at the moment, but hopefully it may spark future development around it, because being a lone skyscraper it seems even bigger and more looming than it actually is, not helping to lighten the controversy about it's size!
James - Monday, September 19th, 2011 @ 9:01pm
I don't understand why people are so opposed to this building. As skyscrapers go, it really isn't a monstrosity as so many seem to think it is. It's quite a modest building when comparing it to the likes of others that are being constructed at this time across the world. It clearly isn't a building that's 'trying to be futuristic', it's a building of its time.It's much less intrusive than a building with a common square/rectangular shape (Canada One for instance). I think it looks incredible and is a much needed addition to London's skyline.
J Bacon - Friday, May 27th, 2011 @ 2:33pm
Just another architect, showing how clever he is, or how clever he thinks he is, more like, displaying his fallic symbol.It is really an insult to the skyline of London, and should be only in place in somewhere like the USA.
Paul Spinks - Saturday, April 16th, 2011 @ 7:30pm
In my opinion, It is very ugly and unsophisticated, and an insult to the skyline of London
Martin Roche - Friday, December 25th, 2009 @ 4:33am
Great looking tower for the world's greatest city!
andrew - Thursday, December 17th, 2009 @ 1:59pm
I think this building is going to be the best thing that has happened in London - "A true beacon of Light" I pass this site every morning and am amazed at it's progress. I have been taking pictures � I�m sure these will be priceless � I am proud to be a Londoner..
Abel.De Souza - Saturday, December 12th, 2009 @ 4:15pm
People who are saying that this does not look right for London clearly don't know London very well. This is located in the financial district - where I work - and is appropriate for that area. All London high-rises are located in these business areas such as The City and Canary Wharf where they are in context of their environment. London is not a city like many of its smaller European neighbours that one smallish centralised 'city centre' - it is sprawling with many different areas. The West End for example - the more touristy traditional part of London (Knightsbridge, Buckingham Palace etc) - practically has no tall buildings and none in the City or Canary Wharf can be seen from there. This building is in keeping with the requirements and architecture of this primarily business area and I for one think it�s great that we can have a city that has amazing historical architecture in the most part but buildings such as this where appropriate in the business districts which, for people who clearly do not know London, are separate. There is no reason we cannot do both.
Matt - Friday, December 4th, 2009 @ 3:17pm
This is a fantastic building,and will start to rise above ground in the next couple of months.Those who oppose this oppose the future,evolution etc....and/or are jealous!
Jon - Sunday, October 11th, 2009 @ 11:08am
I think thi design is an extrodinary asset to the london skyline it will certainly bring london up to date with other major cities for once londons becoming modern BRILLIANT!
Tom - Monday, October 5th, 2009 @ 3:50pm
This will be a new symbol for London's Skyline. A Dynamic skyscraper for a futuristic city.
Brent Kampert - Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 @ 5:29pm
As someone who visits London only occasionally, I think it currently has one of the most amazing skylines. The mix of old and new is stunning and I think the Shard of Glass will be a spectacular addition.
Lynda Bullock - Sunday, August 9th, 2009 @ 10:10am
As someone who has worked on Borough High Road, next to such great attractions as London Bridge, Borough Market and the Theatre land alongside the river, one has to say that this is a complete nightmare and god knows how they got planning permission for it. The shadow that it casts across these historic places is horrendous and personally I would like to see this building axed.
Daniel - Tuesday, May 5th, 2009 @ 9:37am
This building boggles the mind. I love it. We need something similar in Tokyo.
Seiichi Mano - Wednesday, April 8th, 2009 @ 1:29pm
The tower looks amazaing and it is a shame more stunning towers have not sprung up in other parts of london - it is ridiculous to limit the height on skyscrapers - we should be leading the way = buildings like this provide a positive message to the world
Imraan - Thursday, March 19th, 2009 @ 7:49pm
Go for it London. I think it's fab! Just what we need and a few more as well to bring us in line with the other world class cities like New York. I love my Country but not it's politics and Government but they have got it right if they build this tower...definitely give my thumbs up to this sleek baby.
Suzanne Tomlinson - Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 @ 6:20pm
the structyure is ok, but why is it on the southbank, it looks abit odd just randomly placed, i think it should have some smaller, varied, skyscrapers around it otherwise it just looks ridiculous.
tom - Monday, November 10th, 2008 @ 11:49am
It is a mindblowing architect it just look wonder full i must say as we say in punjabi "chak te fatte"
himanshu - Sunday, September 14th, 2008 @ 9:58am
it'a lovely and a beauty full arcitect and it has alovely look
navi - Saturday, September 13th, 2008 @ 3:18am
Amazing! More skyscrapers like these are needed to evolve London's skyline and prove that we can do classic architecture as well as these modern wonders!Keep them coming! And keep making them taller! We're the financial capital of the world after all, LET'S SHOW IT!
Beth - Saturday, July 26th, 2008 @ 2:12pm
It is time to move on London needs such a building so the world will know that London has a modern side to it!
E.Erhuero - Friday, July 4th, 2008 @ 10:41am
London requires more 12/14 level groundscrapers. not a building such as the shard. this is London remember not a fancy foriegn city.
martin - Sunday, June 1st, 2008 @ 11:22am
I love this building. A 21st Century icon, which will be a wonderful landmark for London and even the UK. With 40 towers proposed, Approved or Under Construction in Canary Wharf, and about a dozen around the City of London underway or approved, London will be absolutely fantastic come 2012 and beyond!
David - Saturday, May 31st, 2008 @ 10:47am
London needs more high rise near transport hubs including lots of residential space. There are several other landmark buildings all being stalled for one reason or another. I must admit, this and the other buildings planned for City make Canary WHarf look a bit bland and unimaginative,all the best...
sivaraman.c - Monday, May 26th, 2008 @ 2:10am
London has great architecture from every era. I think it should have one for this era, for future generations to admire. There need more improvement.
Biswa Raj - Saturday, March 22nd, 2008 @ 4:42am
London is a famous international city.Its the 21 century london needs a proper skyline like american cities do filled with skyscrapers to make it much more exciting like New York
jamie rigby - Friday, March 14th, 2008 @ 9:18am
I do actually quite like this tower.. but it's not suited for London. We need to preserve and create traditional architecture, instead of further scarring London with 'futuristic' 'innovative'buildings. Haven't we learn from the 60s and 70s that basically all modern buildings are a mistake? Either build it in Canary Wharf, or not at all- CLASSICAL/TRADTIONAL architecture is the way!
Chris Walker - Thursday, March 13th, 2008 @ 4:40am
I love the design, and the idea of building a London Skyline. But a building should be an extension of its environment. So this building should be in Canary wharf. It would look fitting next to other tall skyscrapers, but it looks out of place on its own. But I do like the design, and I appreciate what they are trying to do. Perhaps we could get more buildings like this outside of London, in cities such as Leeds, Birmingham, and Manchester.
Joseph - Thursday, February 28th, 2008 @ 3:58pm
A really nice building. but look at the energy crisis in all of this. london is a great city with lots of history. we dont need another fantastic city turned into another new york or shanghai using tons of energy just to waste it. overall i like the building but i hope that we dont have to have lots of building like this in london because afterall london is extremely historic and deserves its rights to keep its most precious memories!
Jake - Thursday, January 17th, 2008 @ 5:27am
Oh my dear! The Gurkin is ugly already! London is a poor looking town and doesn't need more child like architecture. To bad England and London don't have more confidence in them self than these projects show.
Jesper Björnstedt-Qvarsell - Monday, December 31st, 2007 @ 9:18am
England doesn't need to look futuristic to attract the appreciation of others around the world. It is a nice building... but its just like every other skyscraper out there. The competition will never end and pretty soon cities will lose its unique attributes. This is not what England should strive for.
Luzia Santos - Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 @ 10:49am
an amazing idea defiantly going to attract more people to come to london
connor weller banks - Friday, December 7th, 2007 @ 7:27am
It an amazing peice of artwork and it is so beautiful at night when the lights hit it
tashia - Tuesday, December 4th, 2007 @ 10:38am
Think, it's not bad - much better then some dull 1950-70 blocks in the City and Southwark. If you really want to unblock the St Paul's, just clear the space between the cathedral and the river. Nothing to do with the powerful spire on the other side.

Really great building! But it would look better at City of London, not Southwark!
oksana - Sunday, October 28th, 2007 @ 3:58pm
from era to era london always will make great architects
Jake - Monday, August 27th, 2007 @ 10:35pm
I quite like this, at the moment London is lacking in tall structures/ skyscrapers and we have let the rest of the world surpass us! Its ashame it wasn't any taller!
JasonA - Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 @ 5:09pm
It looks ok if you were standing in an American city. Cities with tall buildings of glass and steel are just boring to me. Everyone just gets used to them and never, after a while stare at them in awe like the beautiful masterpieces London already has. London desrves better. This building in 50 years will look just like the nightmares the Architects of the 60's and 70's produced. Just awful.
Stephen Fletcher - Monday, July 23rd, 2007 @ 6:14am
it reminds me of what everyone in 1954 thought the future might look like... its an absolute outdated vision of the future.
Travis - Monday, June 25th, 2007 @ 8:09am
I think the design is brilliant and that there should be more buildings like this in London and other major cities
Wytze Wolthuizen - Friday, June 22nd, 2007 @ 6:04am
Good job London! This is the 21st century. London has always been one of world's greatest cities. It is important to keep up with the fast changing world. Great design. You should have kept the 87 floors.
kaisari - Thursday, May 24th, 2007 @ 10:22pm
whaoh!!!this is a great piece of architectural edifice from a genius.watch out! this is amidst the best in 100years to come.thanks for thinking the unusual out for this generation and generations to come, to cherish and admire.
opeyemi ojo - Thursday, May 10th, 2007 @ 11:54am
This is an atrocious, hideous subversion of the London skyline. Building new things simply to look futuristic is a perverse way to impose ugliness in the name of progress. London does not need this montrosity.
Allen - Wednesday, May 9th, 2007 @ 2:30am
It's a shame it can't be a bit taller but everything else is spot on. People keep banging on about our heritage but isn't our future also our future heritage. Just hurry up and build it and more of the same please.
Michael Chambers - Monday, May 7th, 2007 @ 9:07am
Its about time London started building supertall structures like this. I think its much better looking than the gherkin.i love the angular lines but i think they could of done a much better job.
jake - Saturday, April 21st, 2007 @ 9:09am
the london bridge tower is a showcase for for progress in architecture and humanity. we all like progress in our lives and those who are against do not understand the need for improvements in the present way we live. The planning of the tower is ingenious and breathtaking and gives me confidence that humans can do the right thing to improve their quality of lives if do put on their thinking caps. I hope this tower is completed sooner than latter.
TEMITOPE - Sunday, April 8th, 2007 @ 11:39pm
The iconic images of new york, tokyo, sydney, chicago and now chinese cities and london looked dull - yes great vibe in the streets but as a statement it was low rise and dull. this is our generation and we need to mark our time on the planet with statements. Like many others - come-on lets create inspiring, soaring monuments to a great world city. It will be for future generations to demolish or keep as historic monumnets. i think it will be the latter and our city needs room - up is the only place
russell - Saturday, March 10th, 2007 @ 9:43am
I am very interested in skyscrapers and i often research the plans they have for London (the greatest city in the world) and thety have about 20 planned this one being the tallest of them. I think this is exctly what London needs, an amazing skyline. It's Brilliant!!
Adam Crawley - Saturday, February 17th, 2007 @ 3:15pm
This is an ugly monstrosity that decades that will undoubtedly become a scar on the face of London, and an eyesore to the British public along with Bishopsgate
jakob - Monday, February 12th, 2007 @ 1:37am
It looks futuristic, and beautiful. It;s more like the next generation tower, rather than today's structure.
Jamaica Miller - Monday, February 5th, 2007 @ 11:20pm
Love it. A great addition to a great city.
NickW - Monday, January 29th, 2007 @ 4:50pm
This is a perfect addition to the great city that is London! It will be an extra special icon for the 2012 olympic games. St Pauls cathedral? Pah.
James - Wednesday, December 20th, 2006 @ 11:58am
5 Stars. We need more building of the future but which work with people because they are after all meant for people.
Delvinos - Wednesday, December 20th, 2006 @ 9:40am
This will be a great asset to London. About time London created a building to capture everyone's eyes.Londoners and tourist. I can't wait when it's been built.So that i can go to the top and see the London beautiful skyline especially from such a height. I am sure it will be amazing.London it's time to reach to the HEAVENS.Huntley Scott
huntley scott - Sunday, December 17th, 2006 @ 12:10pm
A beautiful shard of glass for a gem of a city. Well done London!
LDN - Tuesday, November 28th, 2006 @ 10:22pm
Disheartened to see such a ugly, antipathetic shape. The style indictates an obsession with international capital, de-humanising and self congratulatory.Sad really.
Mich - Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006 @ 3:15pm
Its a monster,a greedy piece of speculative development that will damage Londons skyline for ever, completely out of scale and at odds with this cities unique character and its mixed low/mid rise street and square focused urban development.
J Attwood - Wednesday, November 1st, 2006 @ 5:54pm
Finally, a bit more modern design has been presented to Britain, this building along with the other great works of architecture among London will be one of the finest.
STROBE - Friday, September 22nd, 2006 @ 4:54am
like everyone else ABOUT TIME ok so our heritage is important but so is our future.if we dont build now london will have no future
andrew - Wednesday, September 20th, 2006 @ 2:28pm
At long last. If there are any people who want pointless little 10 story-or-less rectangles, go live in a shanty town or anywhere other than the Megalopolis of London. This city was the greatest of them all, but (in my opinion) it is now an international embarrassment that puts Great Britain to shame. Thankfully this and other buildings, including Canary Wharf and others on their way, may put London, and the country, back on the map that we ourselves drew up. But this is not enough, its just a beginning. These buildings belong in clusters and all tall buildings should be built together in The City or Canary Wharf. This is not Uganda, this is a G4 country and the second financial centre of the World. Well done Ken Livingstone.
An Enlightened Prince Charles - Tuesday, September 19th, 2006 @ 3:56pm
about bloody time:)i think most of london is still stuck between the victorian to 80s era.the future is now, and these new buildings that are going up just give you a uplifting feeling when you see them.remember,when st pauls was built (hi tec in its time)they said it was too large and blocked out a lot of things.BUT IT IS STILL HERE??
vince. - Monday, August 14th, 2006 @ 10:29pm
I cant believe how long it is taking to even start construction on this building, build it now! London needs density, to increase walking and decrease journey times. London needs more high rise near transport hubs including lots of residential space. There are several other landmark buildings all being stalled for one reason or another. I must admit, this and the other buildings planned for City make Canary WHarf look a bit bland and unimaginative.
mark - Tuesday, August 8th, 2006 @ 5:12am
love it! just love it! london needs more like it!
colin hopper - Wednesday, May 17th, 2006 @ 3:58pm
I think this building is fantastic. It would be better if it were a little taller but everything else about it is perfect.It is sleek and graceful and gives london the greatest city in the world (in my opinion)a new facelift.London has so much to offer but never had a good skyline,although canary wharf and all the new projects are fab.Now london can compete in the skyline competition.GO GO LONDON.
shannon frankling (male) - Saturday, May 13th, 2006 @ 3:04pm
A city is living breathing thing thats needs to grow or it will stagnate. This will be a sign to all that london is alive and vibrant. the design is fantastic and will be a wonderful addition to the london skyline
patrick guthrie - Tuesday, May 9th, 2006 @ 12:45pm
Britain must shed their international conservative image and move forward. London is one of the worlds foremost financial centres and it is time we began to show it. This building is the perfect vehicle to display London's wealth and international importance. BUILD IT NOW!
Geoff ashden - Saturday, April 8th, 2006 @ 5:49am
A modern icon for a beautiful historic city.
Brett Haase - Wednesday, March 29th, 2006 @ 7:12pm
Beautiful! I would love to see it in the future. The design is simple, clean, modern, yet complementary to the overall scheme of the city. Its time London took its place along with Shanghai and New York. It needs a distinct modern tower, a new look into the future.
Erratic Market Banger - Saturday, January 14th, 2006 @ 10:49pm
Wonderful building and unique addition to the London that need to move forward without listening to those old thinkers who they want our city to stay behind all others.
S Plicio - Saturday, January 7th, 2006 @ 6:51am
Rui Salgueiro Sousa - Wednesday, January 4th, 2006 @ 6:39pm
We dont need heritage, we need to move onto the future. How could a country try to lead the 21 century whilst keeping their old memories, and britain too much memories, that no needs anymore. Look at china they dont go on about history, all there stuff hitech gadgetry and all that sort of stuff. alright be proud and all that, i think all that needs to be kept in text books not in our faces any more.
Lee - Sunday, December 25th, 2005 @ 2:24pm
THIS IS RUBBISH. Why can�t we give it a negative rate? When will they stop destroying London and its skyline? This is an anti-ecological, non-sustainable building. When the energy crisis will come, and it will come for sure, I hope someone oblige Ken Livingstone and Renzo Piano to climb by foot all the building stairs steps.
Antonio Maria Braga - Sunday, December 4th, 2005 @ 10:37am
A great idea..the design is one of great quality and architectural elements..and i admire renzo piano!!
Rita - Saturday, November 12th, 2005 @ 8:03am
at last,we have a modern wonderful building coming to the old smoke
william - Monday, October 31st, 2005 @ 6:26pm
finally a building to take us into the 21st century and out of the 20th.
forget the past and invest in the future of london.
when st pauls cathedral was built there was an outcry.
they said it was to big and would dwarf all around it.
but they lived with it, so why cant we live with what we are building today?.
vince - Sunday, October 16th, 2005 @ 9:52pm
What a brilliant tower!!!!!!!! Finally london can compete with the big boys. Its just typicall that nieve people are complaining about it.
sathesh alagappan - Friday, October 7th, 2005 @ 11:13am
georgeous,fascinating,sexy and superb piece of architecture
wilson - Monday, July 25th, 2005 @ 11:57pm
What a fantastic tower! Can't wait to hear more about the designs and see it when it is actually completed... HOPEFULLY! London is changing a great deal. I was in London about 7years ago... i mean canary wharf was nothing but one tower, and the city of London was quite unappealing! I visited London just 2 months ago and i was utterly amazed! Projects underway everywhere! New buildings completed and canary wharf looking fantastic, new, international and soo beautiful! I mean the Labour party cant be that bad, how London is looking the way it is today... astonishing! I hope to visit London more regularly! A spectacular city! Greatest in the world! I think skyscrapers are a symbol of wealth, prosperity, class and power! REACH FOR THE SKIES LONDON!
S. P - Thursday, May 26th, 2005 @ 8:32am
This is an excellent design. I think it will be a great asset to London. But, if it never gets built, we would be very happy to take this design and exchange it with the design for the "Freedom Tower" at the World Trade Center site!
Jason King - Friday, May 13th, 2005 @ 7:33am
I have no doubt whatsoever that this will be a fantastic addition to London's skyline.
Will Fox - Wednesday, May 4th, 2005 @ 10:29am
It brings us Architects so much pleasure when ground is gained in advancing our built environment...what catches me on this one is the buildings camouflage that embraces the skies..becoming a part of the mysterious.Lets gain towards the irregular and put new ides in the sky...
Wankumbu Sikombe - Friday, April 8th, 2005 @ 7:46am
London has great architecture from every era. I think it should have one for this era, for future generations to admire.
Graham - Saturday, March 26th, 2005 @ 7:44pm
it's so fantastic.so beautiful,this is modern building and a great architecture.
retno - Saturday, March 26th, 2005 @ 9:22am
What a fantastic idea! It will revive the centre of London - we are yet to have such a modern & iconic structure, which can be globally showcased, recognised and adored! This is our Sydney Opera House, our Empire State Building, our Sears Tower ... bring it on! London is already one of, if not THE most admired cities in the world and the 'Shard of Glass' can only add yet another 'weapon' to our armoury of beauty, status, pride and style - would our Great British Capital deserve any less? SO GET BUILDING!!
Tom Kinsley - Tuesday, March 1st, 2005 @ 12:29pm
This add a new dimension of excitement to London's architectural landscape. The design is graceful and tapers respectfully to dominate London's skyline. It's really beautiful. I think when completed, it will not only be tolerated but embraced.
kwabena Oppong-Peprah - Monday, February 21st, 2005 @ 1:41pm
Just what London needs. I love the new gherkin (Swiss Re tower). London as a whole is changing in it's opinion to modernity in all types of architecture. From galleries, museums and office towers. I think it's time to give Prince Charles the finger and tell him to shut up about his bloody hate for modern architecture. No one cares anymore! This tower should be built, if not for London, then to aggravate Charles and English Heritage.
Jamie - Thursday, February 3rd, 2005 @ 10:45am
I'm in the middle on the design of this building. I feel there is nothing wrong with the overall idea of building big, London is after all, a very special unique city. Cities like New York and Toronto are relatively new in the scheme of urban planning and building, therefor the opportunity for building tall (and often) is increased. Because London 's street grid derives from a varied historic past, a tall building may be a hinderance to pedestrian and vehicular travel. One thing I have always appreciated about European design is the opportunity to showcase modern edgy architecture surrounded by ancient lived buildings. This design is beautiful - too bad such a design couldnt be found for NYC.
Kevin - Sunday, December 26th, 2004 @ 11:37pm
Excellent!! It's about time London had something like this. It is well overdue. I love tall buildings and have been to both the USA & Canada. The skyscrapers over there are awe inspiring & when you come back to London (which is where I live), after seeing the huge skylines I think "hugh!".
I know of 3 other tall buildings due to be built in the city & another at Canary Wharf but I feel we still need more of these types of buildings in London. If London is , as I am lead to believe, the financial capital of the world then why don't we have the skyscrapers to reflect that?
All this hogwash about oh!, you won't be able to see St Pauls Catherdal etc. is complete and utter rubbish. This is now the 21st century, it's time to move on. Magnificent though St Pauls Cathedral is it will remain there forever and if pepople want to see it then they can as it will outlive all of us. St Pauls does not have to dominate the skyline forever. Wake up and smell the coffee.......London, oh how old and graceful you be - it's time to move on!!

Irish prominent on UK Rich List despite downturn
More than 30 Irish people have made it into the latest UK property Rich List despite the downturn in Irish property values.
Horse breeder John Magnier is the top ranking Irishman at 27 on the list. As his wealth is estimated to have dropped by £20m to £540m his ranking has dropped from 18 last year. Insurance mogul Sean Quinn, who was third last year, is not included in this year's top 250 rich UK property people which is compiled by Estates Gazette, the UK property magazine.
Former bookie JP McManus is one of seven Irish people to have recorded an increase in their wealth. His is estimated to have increased £60m to £490m and his ranking is up five places to 34.
Six new Irish entries are recorded. Coming in at 72 are Bert and Maurice Allen, owners of Slaney Meats. They netted around £190m from the sale of the Bewley hotel chain in 2007.
Another new entry at 160, is Patrick Kelly, best known for his Kelland Homes, development company and not to be confused with Paddy Kelly of Red Quartz Boundary fame.
EG says that Kelland's Patrick Kelly is worth £90m.
In at 172 are hoteliers and developers Noel & Miriam O'Callaghan who own a number of Dublin hotels including St Stephen's Green, Mont Clare, Alexander and the Davenport and are worth £80m.
At 183 are John Byrne and family, owners of Carlisle Trust. He also owns the office building which houses the Q pub overlooking O'Connell Bridge in Dublin and the Brandon Hotel complex in Tralee.
Eamonn O'Rourke, of Cash & Carry Kitchens comes in at 198. Newcomer at 228 is Tony Leonard, who owns half of Clarendon Properties.
Remaining on the list are: Sir Michael Smurfit and family ranked 59, Charles Kenny and family of Clancourt 75, Joe Brennan and family of Brennan's Bakery 76, Ken Rohan 106, Jim McGettigan 138, Martin Birrane 142, Pat Doherty of Harcourt Developments 159, Mark and Kathleen Kavanagh 195, Sean Mulryan 198 and Gerry Conlan 214.

Review of "CGP Revision Guides"
" Revision made simple - CGP"
The CGP Revision Guide range offers supportive guides for students of all ages, ranging from aged 4 nursery children, to students of 18 studying A level. The subjects vary depending on the age of study, but most books for each age band contain the relevant, vital subjects such as Maths, English and Science.The books I have come in to contact with in the past were supplied by the school for KS3 SATS and GCSE. I found both books to be of a similar consistency, using the same sort of layout and the same methods of writing. One thing that stands prominent about this book series is the humour- often slipped in to the text is a joke, a play on words, or a jokey cartoon to break up the text and retain the interest of the young reader. Although this is obviously a good method of encouraging children to revise, I have found some of the jokes in the GCSE books to be too juvenile and somewhat patronising, and more suited to the books lower down in the school.
Another problem I have with this book series are the aesthetics. The pages all contain lots of colour, probably too much, which can be very distracting to the eye. The colour scheme (usually some dodgy browns and dank, dark and clashing colours) isn't fantastically encouraging either. The content is also often cramped together and boxed within boxes and becomes complicated to read without going slightly dizzy! I also found the frequently bolded, underlined, italicised and coloured text a little over-bearing. Emphasis on key points is a good thing, however I found too much of this on the pages, making it look cluttered and hard to tell what exactly was important to remember and what was not.Content wise the books are perfect. Everything contained within the books is simplified to be easily understood, and is up-to-date with relevant diagrams and information directly relating to the syllabus. The revision guides also come with a few questions at the end of topics and chapters relating to what has just been read. These are nice exercises to assure you're on the right track and boost confidence. However, on some of the books I could not find answers to the questions, which is a bit odd.
There were lots of things I wasn't too sure about being taught in lesson, then when it came to revision, I consulted these books and soon things I'd found impossible to understand became clearer. This series of books are well worth picking up as the all-important exams approach.

nikki14 published 26/05/2005I had these at GCSE and although they helped, I also found them very confusing to read. The BBC bitesize are much better. Don't use these books for A level because I didn't like the busy layout. Great review xx
thespurs published 05/05/2005Nice review. I remember these at GCSE. They really did make revision more fun. I loved the comments inside the front and back covers - some real corkers

I love this card - I got one for my son who will be 27 and the other for my brother who will be 55. Love the masculine look but it is also very pretty with the candles coming out from the bejeweled birthday cake! :)

The conclusion is based on a report commissioned by security firm McAfee and conducted by Dr Jonathan Liebenau, senior lecturer in information systems at the London School of Economics Department of Management.
The research suggests that a company's reputation could be damaged by disclosure laws now in force in the US that look set to become more widespread.
Many businesses are reliant on a very limited number of specialists who can manage information risks and understand compliance.
Companies that lose these internal capabilities often struggle to find replacements either on the labour market or through outsourcing.
The study suggests that the best example of the direct link between IT security and the strategic business function is the requirement to give public notice of a security breach.
This has been the law since 2004, but poses serious risks for business reputation and business continuity.
Dr Liebenau found that by mid-2006, reports of security breaches in the US were numbering between eight and 10 per week. To date, almost 94 million records containing sensitive personal information have been involved in security breaches.
"The mandatory reporting of security breaches will have far-reaching implications on a company's reputation management," he said.
"The practice of reporting breaches, now commonplace in the US and quickly spreading to several regions in the world, will impact the way individuals and organisations think about information handling in general and reputation protection in particular."
Surprisingly, Dr Liebenau's research found that compliance requirements may be increasing security risks because guidelines, standards and compliance concerns overshadow business security needs.
The report also pointed out that the costs involved in monitoring and meeting compliance requirements can take resources away from dealing with live security threats.
Researchers found that chief information officers, security officers and IT directors believe that compliance is playing an ever-increasing role in IT security, but many businesses are struggling to cope with its requirements.
According to one banking security expert in the UK: "We understand Sarbanes-Oxley and what it's good for, but in practice you do what you can."
Global firms reach compliance breaking point

During AC install...
Welcome to our beautiful home, horseshoe and all!!!I know...I know...Its about time we posted pics. We moved in September and life has been crazy...but wonderful crazy! Thanks to the amazing Farr Family, we have had a great place to stay while we fix up our fixer upper! With high hopes of moving in in a month, we are now at 6 weeks, with a kitchen torn out and no bathroom floors or toilets. So, we like to tell ourselves that it will be, "Just 2 weeks more." We are definitely making headway though. My husband has been amazing, working full time during the day and working at the house every night and weekend. He has torn out the dog run on the side, torn out a kitchen, rebuilt cabinets, installed a dishwasher, sink, and stove top, and the list goes on. We have been so grateful to friends and family for all of their help (I'm starting to wonder if Mike and Shanna are glad we moved in so close). We honestly feel so blessed to have gotten this home and we can't wait to move in and build our family there! :) Hopefully "After" pics will be coming soon.

Create amazing paintings from photos
Psykopaint is an amazing photo painting app where you pick one of the 6 brushes provided and start painting while the colors are selected automatically for you.
Psykopaint offers some unique and rather unusual results. Unlike photo-editing softwares based on filters, it works by sampling colors of the original photo to create a new image.
Psykopaint offers an alternative to image manipulation techniques and could be considered as the missing link between photo-editing softwares (such as Photoshop) and painting softwares ( such as Corel Painter)
Psykopaint offers a facebook integration allowing you to post your paintings on your wall in one click and share with the online community.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) announced a complete link test solution for Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) interconnects, supporting Reference Point 3, RP3-01, Reference Point 1, and Ethernet Interfaces used between the BaseBand subsystem and Radiohead subsystems within a base station architecture. This is the most reliable link test solution for OBSAI interconnects. It accelerates hardware and software debug, and reduces interoperability testing time, enabling earlier availability of OBSAI-based systems in the market.
The emergence of standard high-speed electrical and optical, protocol-based interconnects between subsystems in base stations is driving changes in the debug and test methodologies; interoperability and robust testing are becoming increasingly important. In addition, as all subsystems may not be present during the test time, it becomes crucial to emulate missing devices to ensure proper operation of the device under test.
Agilent's test platform provides multichannel stimulus and real-time analysis capabilities with frame decoding for extensive link layer test. These capabilities accelerate development by providing bit-level to frame-level functionality, hierarchical protocol display and automated tools for test-vector generation that allow users to efficiently emulate, troubleshoot and verify designs.
Because reliability is essential for base stations, it is critical to validate the performance of each subsystem with test equipment that has a high level of reliability. To maximize the accuracy and dependability of the measurement results, Agilent has performed intensive subsystem validation in addition to working closely with the key equipment manufacturers in the marketplace. The Agilent base station link test module provides deterministic error injection capabilities on multiple channels combined with error-triggering and error-occurrence counting reports.
Since OBSAI architectures are modular and scalable, one of the key requirements for the test environment is to offer the same degree of scalability. Thanks to the modular architecture of the Agilent platform, the test environment can be extended to fit exactly with the subsystem's test needs. Moreover, the logic analyzer-based software environment helps each user customize the views according to his or her own test needs.
"The introduction of this solution illustrates Agilent's commitment to use its expertise in logic, serial protocol and network test to help our customers transform mobile device architectures to digital technologies with a new set of tools that are well integrated into the wireless use model," said Sigi Gross, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Digital Test Division.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
The Agilent N5341A base station link test module and N5340A base station test module extension are available now. Pricing for the N5341A starts at $80,000 The N5340A starts at $30,000.
About Agilent Technologies
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) is the world's premier measurement company and a technology leader in communications, electronics, life sciences and chemical analysis. The company's 19,000 employees serve customers in more than 110 countries. Agilent had net revenues of $5.4 billion in fiscal 2007.

Other than the fact that it is green it is a pretty good card I would say bit I'm open to suggestions

Raging_Squiggle says... #5
There's no description either, what's the plan for the deck? Do you flicker your enchantments to permanently exile things?
Glimmerpoint Stag should be in here too. Or bump up to 4 Flickerwisps.
Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker or Displace should be here too for instant speed flickering.
A couple Angel of Serenity's wouldn't hurt either.
September 4, 2016 1:47 p.m.
Raging_Squiggle says... #6
There's no reason for Terastodon to be in the deck. That one card nukes your consistency for mana. By taking him out, you drop to just islands and plains which will help with consistency.

I was thinking of buying this and selling splits for $1000 each.
But then I figured, why not just buy 100 1ml of this fragrance and save $3500 to begin with.
This is too precious to be true, I think.
From PRWeb.com:
Halo by Vecny is a fragrance for her that lends a unique, spicy air to floral undertones with a touch of tartness, encases the wearer in a light, luxuriously fresh aroma with just a hint of sweetness and induces a warming vanilla wisp. The most notable notes in Halo are the kaffir lime and acacia top notes, jasmine and barley heart notes followed by resonating benzoin and palisander base notes.
Halo is available in 100 ml bottles, limited to 10 bottles available annually, and 1 milliliter travel size bottles. Clients that receive the 100 ml bottle also receive the classic handcrafted crystal perfume bottle with crystal dipper. A stunning and functional accent for any dresser or vanity, the Halo bottle is designed with a crystal dipper that screws open and closed with minimal evaporation of the fragrance. Halo arrives with specialized but simple instructions on preservation and storage.
The fragrance inside the bottle is guaranteed against spoilage, turning or fading for a period of 100 years, making both the bottle and the fragrance an heirloom to be passed down through generations.
And it better now spoil or fade, because a full bottle costs $7986. The 1 ml. travel bottle, a mere $45.54 I love how they priced it exactly at 54 cents. It just couldn't cost any less than that.
As I said, I suspect this is a joke. The bottle looks cheap, the "guarantee" is ridiculous and the commercial for it an amateurish Youtube video.
I was thinking of buying this and selling splits for $1000 each.
But then I figured, why not just buy 100 1ml of this fragrance and save $3500 to begin with.
Fools and money are soon parted and I bet thats what the creators are counting on.
I am glad they could keep the retail under $8000 and were kind enough to not price it at an "oh so common" $7999.99. Vecny's owner must be Clive Christian.

At best, this smells like "fake it 'til you make it". It's too earnest to be a put-on, but was clearly done on an indie budget.
Under the best possible circumstances, it reminds me of Viktor & Rolf - who have been rolling in money from Flowerbomb and Spicebomb. In one interview, they described how, in their earliest, hand-to-mouth days, they tried to do a fragrance, and although they gave it their best shot, the idea proved to be way premature. (And seriously, I would LOVE to own one of those suckers.)
But in other ways, this thing seems like little more than a polished version of the Michael Jackson fragrance.
And if it's a joke - kind of a fail. GREED was so much better.
What's fascinating to me is how the people behind this thing managed to blitzkrieg the fashion media. The only thing in the fashion world about VECNY/Vecny/VEC NY is this fragrance, but it's bouncing around the perfume echo chamber like a gunshot.
Best to avoid IMO.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
summoner spells
i know a lot of people dont like clarity, but as a support with long range...the ability to continue casting spells, and refresh that allows for a more lengthy aggresive push. It allows you to attempt to gain the edge in a lane, and continue pushing when she is so relient on mana. late in the game, it doesnt make a dramatic different, but in a tough team fight, giving you and your allies a lot of mana can turn a drastic fight. ghost also allows you to catch up with a running enemy so you can trap them, or run if you need to. baing able to run quick to a lane to support is also very helpful.
because lux is such a heavy mana dependant champion, getting the athena's unholy grail is incredibly crucial to mana regeneration. Buying the two faery charms at the beginning of the match will allow you to pester your enemies even more as you regen mana much faster. from there you get the boots to allow for speed and better damage, then its straight AP from there. Rabadons is essential. I get the Rylais scepter because it gives you that extra survivability with health, but allows your already long range spells to also slow the enemy. Void staff and Liandrys torment just add lots of spell penetration and Ap...which at late game will mean your spells will do devestating damage. He ult will do nearly 1000+ damage with this build and the spell penetration
so far
this has almost always worked for me. having a beast lux makes sure you always have a support on your team when everyone wants to be APC or ADC. i feel she is super underplayed and rated. if you have any advice though, please feel free to tell me:) thanks, tell me what you like

VIDEO: A pair of paragliders had a very lucky escape after a botched take off
A thrill-seeking pair of paragliders were nearly victims to a horrible fate after a parachute got tangled before a jump.
One of the paragliders waiting for take off started with a mistimed launch that left him being dragged across the grassy floor by a high wind.
He became entangled with another parachute which he dragged with him almost ensnaring his sky-loving buddy, who had begun the process of attaching himself to the 'chute in preparation for his own jump.
A nearby onlooker filmed the whole thing and can be heard shouting: "Whoa whoa whoa!"
Fortunately, the rope is dodged and the extreme sports fan does not get dragged off the cliff, much to everyone on the scene's relief.
The person who captured the near miss wrote: "Pay attention when you're about to take off.
"Serious accidents can happen but this time he was lucky."
"In this case it was a lot of luck, the other pilot wasn't connected to harness and wing."
"Prudence and a little more attention doesn't hurt anyone."
This adrenaline-junkie war hero is going to jump out of a plane WITHOUT a parachute to fund a cure for his son's disease.

Television script-writer.
Coulter began working as a script-writer for the Grundy Organisation in the mid-1980s; he was both script-writer and storyliner for Prisoner between 1985 and 1986, and contributed scripts to Richmond Hill in 1988. He followed this in 1990 with work on Col'n Carpenter, where he worked alongside such script-writers as Chris Anastassiades, Kate Langbroek, Doug MacLeod (who also produced the program), and Rob Menzies. In the same year, Coulter wrote scripts for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Embassy (set in the fictional South-East Asian country of Ragaan), Crawford Productions' The Flying Doctors, and the Seven Network's Home and Away, for which he wrote at least eleven episodes in 1990 and 1991.
In 1992, Coulter wrote additional material for the British television documentary Unsolved Mysteries of WWII, written by Andrew Aitken and Dave Flitton.
Other programs for which Coulter wrote in the 1990s include Law of the Land (1993), The Adventures of the Bush Patrol (1996), G.P. (for which he wrote at least nine episodes between 1993 and 1996), The Gift (1997), Driven Crazy (1998), State Coroner (1997-1998), Medivac (1998), and Chuck Finn (1999).
Since 2000, he has written for children's fantasy television programs Horace & Tina (2001) and Wormwood (2007).
Crawford Productions' staff page lists Coulter as an assistant director from 1981, but does not note when he stopped working for the company or which programs he worked on.
A character-based television drama series about the lives of police officers in the fictitious Australian country town of Mt Thomas, this series began with the arrival of Constable Maggie Doyle (Lisa McCune) to the Mt Thomas station in the episode 'A Woman's Place'. Doyle and avuncular station boss Senior Sergeant Tom Croydon (John Wood) were the core characters of the series until the departure of Lisa McCune.
Immensely popular for a decade, Blue Heelers was cancelled in 2006 after thirteen seasons. The announcement was front-page news in Australia's major newspapers including The Sydney Morning Herald, Sydney's Daily Telegraph, The Herald Sun and The Age in Melbourne, and Brisbane's Courier Mail.
On June 8, 2006 Ross Warneke wrote in The Age:
'It's over and, to be perfectly blunt, there's no use lamenting the demise of Blue Heelers any more. When the final movie-length episode aired on Channel Seven on Sunday night, 1.5 million Australians tuned in, a figure that was big enough to give the show a win in its timeslot but nowhere near big enough to pay the sort of tribute that this writer believes Heelers deserved after more than 500 episodes.It is unlikely there will be anything like it again. At almost $500,000 an hour, shows such as Blue Heelers are quickly becoming the dinosaurs of Australian TV.'
Home and Away is a television serial created by Alan Bateman and produced by the Seven Network. The idea for the series came to Bateman (then head of drama at Seven) after he stopped to buy ice-creams in a small country town in southern NSW. While chatting to some locals, he learned that the town was unhappy about plans to build a home for foster kids from the city. At that time, Channel Seven was still smarting from its decision to let Neighbours go to the Ten Network, where it had become hugely popular, and was looking to create another series to rival its success. Bateman saw in the idea that became Home and Away the potential for plenty of storylines and conflict by having streetwise city kids being relocated to a small regional environment,
In the beginning, the series focused on Pippa and Tom Fletcher, who, being unable to have children of their own, decide to become foster parents. When Tom is retrenched from his city job, the couple buy the rundown Summer Bay Caravan Park and move there with their five foster children. Soon after arriving, they also take in troublesome Bobby Simpson.
The series debuted in January 1988 with an hour-long telemovie. Although this rated well, the series itself took some while to develop an audience. Having learned their lesson from the Neighbours debacle, Network Seven gave its new show time, and its ratings gradually increased. As with Neighbours, the Home and Away series and performers became very popular in the United Kingdom.

Portland Crane Hire Firm Fined
8:52am 23rd November 2012
A Portland Crane Hire firm's been fined after an 80 tonne mobile crane toppled over and narrowly missed workmen on a busy road.
The incident involving South Coast Crane Hire Limited happened on a building site in Gillingham in August 2009.
Weymouth Magistrates Court heard that confusion over whether the crane was just for hire or was to be operated by the company as well.
This meant that the crane hire firm and the principal contractor, JR Pickstock Limited, failed to assign vital roles.
HSE's investigation found the lift itself was carried out unsafely as the crane was overloaded and being operated on poor ground. As a result the 80-tonne crane overturned and its extended 50 metre jib fell across the site, narrowly missing the workers and a nearby road.
HSE said a larger crane should have been used and ground mats were needed to spread the load of the crane's outriggers due to the poor ground conditions.
The court was told the lift hire contract should have met industry guidance, which says a competent person should be appointed to plan the lift. This person should be provided by the crane hire company if it is a contract hire arrangement or by the hirer if it is a hire-only agreement. The crane hire company should have ensured this happened when they set-up the contract.
A lift plan should have been drawn-up by the competent person and communicated to those involved in the work. The principal contractor should also have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the construction phase plan identified risks to health and safety and included measures to address risks.
South Coast Crane Hire Ltd, of Tradecroft Industrial Estate, Portland pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 8(1)c of the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 and was fined £10,000 and ordered to pay £14,917 in costs. JR Pickstock Ltd, of Maesbury Road, Oswestry, pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 23(1)a of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 and was fined £16,000 and also ordered to pay £14,917 in costs.
HSE inspector Kathy Gostick, speaking after the hearing, said:
"This incident could have led to death and serious injury and was a direct result of a catalogue of failures by two construction companies
"Good communications between all those involved in crane operations and all other construction activities is vital to ensure lifting operations are properly planned, particularly those involving the use of heavy mobile cranes working in a busy area such as a construction site.
"Had it been clearly established by both South Coast Crane Hire and JR Pickstock who was responsible for planning the lift when the lift hire contract was set up is highly unlikely that the crane would have overturned putting a number of workers and people on the road at unnecessary risk."
