Duke Begins unearthed by Take-Two lawsuit
A previously unknown Duke Nukem title, Duke Begins, has been unearthed in a lawsuit response from 3DRealms to Take-Two.
The game was apparently in the works at a "well-known videogame developer" and was supposed to release by mid-2010.
Development began within two months of an October 2007 funding agreement between 3DRealms and Take-Two, with the developer retaining rights to to approve "any changes to that [development] schedule."
There's plenty more on Shacknews. Poor old Duke. All he wants to do is spend his golden years sitting on the porch.
Thu, May 07, 2009 | 06:40 BST
3DRealms closes, Take-Two keeps hold of Nukem
3DRealms has closed, according to numerous reports, thanks to a lack of funding.
"It's not a marketing thing," said company webmaster webmaster Joe Siegler.
"It's true. I have nothing further to say at this time."
Take-Two issued a statement overnight, saying it's retained the rights to Duke Nukem Forever.
"We can confirm that our relationship with 3D Realms for Duke Nukem Forever was a publishing arrangement, which did not include ongoing funds for development of the title," said comms VP Alan Lewis.
"In addition, Take-Two continues to retain the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever."
Apogee Software and Deep Silver have confirmed that the closure has not affected Frontline Games' upcoming handheld Duke Nukem Trilogy.
"Deep Silver and Apogee Software are not affected by the situation at 3D Realms," said a rep.
"Development on the Duke Nukem Trilogy is continuing as planned."
No senior 3DRealms staffers have yet to make a statement.
It really was "forever," then. Shacknews has the fullest report on this.

3DRealms "polishing" DNF
This almost isn't worth the internet it's written on, but 3DRealms reckons it's "polishing" Duke Nukem Forever at the moment, which means you man see the shooter sometime before you're dead.
"We're doing a lot of polishing of set pieces, environments, and characters," said art director Tramell Isaac.
Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for since 1997. It's just depressing. It's not like we even care. Just release it, let the internet tear it apart and move on, Tramell. It's like pulling off a Band Aid.

Lynkeos processes astronomical webcam images. By stacking the best images, the signal to noise ratio is increased, and details lost in the noise of individual images become visible in the resulting image. This software accepts, as input, QuickTime, AVI, and MPEG sequences, or still images, in any image format supported by its active plugins (TIFF, FITS) and Cocoa. It generates a 16-bit RGB TIFF or a monochrome FITS image as output, to be further processed with some all-purpose image processing application.
INDI is an instrument-neutral distributed interface control protocol that aims to provide backend driver support and automation for a wide range of astronomical devices (telescopes, focusers, CCDs, etc.). Current supported devices include many telescopes, CCDs, filter wheels, focusers, and video cams. INDI is used in popular astronomy suites like Xephem, KStars, DCD, and Cartes Du Ciel.
SaVi is satellite visualization software that lets you create, run, examine, and modify satellite orbits in two and three dimensions. Simulations of Iridium, Globalstar, Galileo, GPS, and other satellite constellations are included. SaVi requires Tcl and Tk on a system with Unix libraries. SaVi works well with the 3D renderer Geomview. Geomview is optional, though recommended for its 3D rendering capabilities.
CFITSIO is a library of C and Fortran subroutines for reading and writing data files in the FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) data format. It simplifies the task of writing software that deals with FITS files by providing an easy to use set of high-level routines that insulate the programmer from the internal complexities of the FITS file format.
Xplanet was inspired by Xearth, which renders an image of the earth into the X root window. All of the major planets and most satellites can be drawn, similar to JPL's Solar System Simulator. A number of different map projections are also supported, including azimuthal, Mercator, Mollweide, orthographic, and rectangular.
TRIP is a general computer algebra system dedicated to celestial mechanics. It includes a numerical kernel and has interfaces to gnuplot and xmgrace. Computations can be performed with double, quadruple, or multi-precision. Users can dynamically load external libraries written in C, C++, or Fortran. Parallel computations on multivariate polynomials can be performed.
Gpredict is a real time satellite tracking and orbit prediction program. Besides the general orbital data for satellites, gpredict can also calculate the footprint, visibility, doppler shift, signal loss, and signal delay for each satellite relative to one or more ground stations. The calculated data can be viewed in tables, on maps, or on polar graphs.

Thanks for checking in. Must be a dream come true working on the pit crew. I just wanted to say if you're ever back in Virginia Beach, stop in or give me a call. SEVMC still going strong.
Before I go crazy and post a bunch of new threads to catch you guys up to what we have been doing, I thought I would introduce myself.
As you can tell by my screen name my name is Steve and I am the Forum Administrator for CJ Pony Parts, what that means is I'm the go to guy for all things forum related here at CJ Pony Parts. I am on over 30+ websites and I pretty much play the middle man for the customer and CJ's. If you have an issue or questions but might now have time to call or can't get in because the lines are busy, I'm your go to guy. I do my best to make sure what ever issue you have be it a question, product issues or whatever it might be, is taken care of in a timely painless fashion.
What I also do is make sure you know when every sale or promotion is going on so that you may take advantage of it while its running. On top of that I post every video we publish on our YouTube channel so that you can see that new part or figure out how to install the part you just bought.
In the Spring/Summer/Fall season I am the pit crew for Bill Tumas, the gentleman you will see in our videos, who is the driver of our 2013 Gotta Have it Green Race car. We did most of the NMRA circuit last year finishing in the top 15 for our first year. I will post a video or two for those that have not seen this car.
Well now that you know what I do here let me give you a little about me in general. I am an 8 year Navy vet, saw the military thread so I'll post my info there, father of 2 girls 18 the other soon to be 11. I own a 2001 Black Bullitt that just flipped 94k yesterday, yes I drive my car all year round. Some of you may actually know me if you are or where members of the Southeastern Virginia Mustang Club back between 2006-2008 while I was still stationed down there.
That about sums it up. I look forward to working with you guys this year and may even see you here and there this year possibly depending on what we do with the cars. Thank you for having us.
Thanks for checking in. Must be a dream come true working on the pit crew. I just wanted to say if you're ever back in Virginia Beach, stop in or give me a call. SEVMC still going strong.

Thanks, yes it's a great time going to all these event racing with some of the best Mustang drivers out there. I plan on coming back to VA Beach eventually, I still have plenty of friends that live down there and that are still stationed there. VA is pretty much my second home as "home" will always be Detroit but I went to High School in Newport News at Denbigh and I was stationed there for my entire 8 years in the Navy, so if I ever move out of PA I would love to come back to VA.
You guys still having the monthly meeting at Beach Ford?

@charcut desserts: chess pie, chocolate parfait, and espresso w/ @hotway. #yyc #food #yycfood
My last european stop after my Toulouse conference, and week in Paris was Rome. I spent 4-5 days there, it was awesome, but not as awesome as Paris I have to admit. I loved Rome for all it's rich history and oldness (which there is loads upon loads of) but I felt that that's all there was.
A recurring theme I felt of Rome was that you hear that things there are huge, epic and beautiful. It's one thing to hear and read these things, and it's a whole other very impressive thing to see it in person.
The Vatican for example, you hear that Michelangelo is a genius and blah blah blah. But the moment I walked into the Sistine Chapel, I thought to myself "holy sh*t, this place is covered in paint. This mofo painted this whole thing and it is absolutely gorgeous!" Then you walk into St Peter's Basillica, that is one gigantic church, like mind-blowingly huge.
Another example, The Colosseum and the Roman Forum. They're huge!! It was interesting how I stumbled upon these sites too. I was just wandering around what I thought was a side street of restaurants and boutiques, but I rounded a corner and BOOM there it was in all its glory. I found that that was the case for most of the Roman centre: you can walk most of it.
Rome's awesome, I'd go back, but really I'd spend 2-3 days there and spend the rest of my time back in Paris.
In my last post I wrote about a conference I was lucky enough to go to in Toulouse, France. After the conference was over I spent a week in Paris. Oh my goodness how I love Paris! The city of light and romance did not disappoint. I've been to Paris once before, but I was a little younger and the experience this time was quite different as a young adult.
A few of the highlights of the week were some very little things. One of the mornings I met a couple of people at the hostel breakfast. We decided to go to the flee market, it was huge! At the market we ran into some other hostel tenants, we all decided to get some baguettes, cheese, olives, tomatoes, ham, pastries and wine. We sat in a park and just chilled. We were all leaving the hostel that day: some of us were moving on to other hostels, some were leaving Paris to go on to their next destination. I don't even remember any of their names but it was really special to share that one afternoon with them and I'll always fondly look on that memory, as cheesey as that may sound.
One of my favourite evenings I spent by myself. It started with this haute couture exhibition at l'Hôtel de Ville, it felt pretty classy. I had an awesome duck supper chased with a crème brûlée dessert and espresso (I had so much espresso on this trip). I then went to Notre Dame cathedral. It was closed, so I just hung out outside with the other tourists and watched this hilarious street performer. From there, I walked along the Seine, watched people wining and picnicing: it was so lovely! I kept walking until I reached la tour Eiffel, it was dusk by this point. The lights were all on, what a beautiful sight. I didn't go up the tower, instead I sat in the lawn area around the tower and just layed there among all the couples in love.
I did love all the grandiose Parisienne things: the Louvre, l'Arc de Triomphe, La Basilique du Sacré Coeur. But the things that really stand out to me were the people I met and the little adventures around the city that I took with them and by myself.
About a month ago now I was given the opportunity to take a trip to Toulouse, France for a conference. The conference was on the Density Functional Theory software: deMon.
At the conference I met some interesting academic folks, gave my first conference talk, and learned a lot about what you can do with simulations for physics and chemistry.
I gave my talk on the last day of the conference. Afterwards, I was feeling pretty darn good so I went and partied at La Dynamo, a discotheque that reminds me a lot of HiFi here in Calgary. There was a show that night for Les Siestes Electroniques, an electronic music festival in Toulouse and Paris. Dabub headlined and they were bad ass!
I didn't have too much time to explore the city of Toulouse 'cause most of my time was spent at the Université Paul Sabatier for the conference. That being said, the city still left a mark of its charm on me.

I always have loved painting on my pages, now i can have an aged paint look also. this paint is so easy to use. i was thrilled to find it has a brush attached to the lid . now i don't have to get out a paint tray and brushes to paint on my projects. i will definately be ordering the other colors.
I've been using this on frames and a few pieces of chipboard. It dries a little darker than pictured and you have to put it on pretty thick to get a good crackle effect. I also had to seal with matte mod podge, it started flaking off but the mod podge stopped the flaking.
I'm still a big fan of the old fashion 3 step method of crackle.
Used in this layout: Walter D and Nancy A Newman
I used it one, but didnt see the crackles, no matter i followed the instructions.
When inking isn't enough to make a page look old... there's crackle paint! I love using paint and inking my pages. The paint goes on smooth and cracks as it dries. Works beautifully! 2 complaints. 1 - takes a lot of paint to get big cracks. 2 - not much paint for the price. I almost used one bottle painting the edges of 2 8 1/2 x 11 canvases. Using on small projects (like layouts), I imagine it wouldn't be too bad.

A few weeks ago I saw a story about a master app designer showing how he worked with good old pen and paper to do effective prototyping before writing code. I'm unable to dig up that story (and I think it was a video) but if you could recommend any other useful resources I'd appreciate them. I know roughly what I want to build, but want a useful framework for thinking about how the screens should flow together. The app I want to build is for the iOS platform, but I think the video might have been about creating a web app. Thanks!

Well that is a pretty broad question. But I think that you looking for storyboarding ( wire framing for the web). Using xcode's storyboard is a great way to lay out your application. There are a number of resources. I recommend you looking up Stanford's cs193p ios programming course. | |||
This is a free lib for iOS apps prototyping: http://www.alterplay.com/ios-dev-tips/2012/04/prototyping-ios-applications.html It's based on Axure framework. | |||
I believe the video you are looking for is http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Fast-Easy-Usability-Tricks-for-Big-Product-Improvements. He argues to not use coded prototypes because the testers can't change them. And that changes the whole thing, if people can't change things they behave differently. | |||

Once a girl decides to paint a pair of these on her amazing ass cheeks, you should ever right to do this without asking first.
If learning by example is the strongest way of teaching, consider this future board waxer educated to the fullest.
And she's already doing porn. That's dedication.
If there were fellatio events in the Olympics, this soulless beauty would at least get the bronze.
And who can blame him once those calcium cannons burst out of their protective holsters?
And we're talking just this single night here, not the entire semester or anything. Carpet cleaners had to be called in man.
It's mid-terms time. So when the going gets tough...
Because nobody can resist such a strong temptation even if they tried.
When Kennedy is doing her thing between your legs, you stop and take notice
Ninja-like BJ skills are on display when this throat goblin gets down in the apt. stairwell and sucks like the wind. Not giving 1 fuck about her protein mask.
Bring a friend along they said. What could go wrong they said...
No judging this one by initial impression. If this sex tape is any indication, she's the filthiest girl you could ever hope of getting between your sheets.
Just strolling around the mall minding his own business, and BOOM -- titties in his face.
Chances of him obeying her request? Fucking ZERO. It's time to shine for this hot little brunette.

Wake and fuck. That's the only reason you let a girl move in with you.
She won't be walking straight for a week but it looks like she thinks it's worth it. She loves it.
17:50 is the time on the video you're looking for. Mother fucker looks like his dick grew a beard.
Girl's got everything a man's penis could ask for!
If you've taken your penis window shopping around the Internet for more than a day, chances are you've run into Gina. And are very fortunate.
Hot little body on her for sure, but if she doesn't raise her enthusiasm past graveyard levels there isn't going to be much of a future for her here.
And luckily she has a price for just such an occasion.
It takes a special breed of slut to try this. All it takes is one wrong move and they're little blowjob escapade will be caught on the spot.

NCAA Preview '09: Women's No. 2 Duke Blue Devils
As part of our 2009 Preseason Preview, Inside Lacrosse is counting down the top teams from DI, DII and DIII lacrosse as well as the DI women leading up to the first men's face-off on February 7th. Today we take a look at the women's No. 2 squad, the Duke Blue Devils. Your writer is Dave Vatz.
Five Things To Know
1. Caroline and Carolyn are back at full strength
Caroline Cryer, a Tewaaraton finalist in '07, had to redshirt '08 after a foot injury. Carolyn Davis, a two-time All-American midfielder, played all of last season with a brace on her left knee after a torn ACL the previous year, which limited her play and forced her to spend most of her time at attack. Now both are back at 100% for '09 for their senior seasons and should be a major force together.
2. Most of the offense is back
Duke's depth showed its strength last year with numerous newcomers stepping up to play, and seven of the top eight scorers return for this season. The group includes Freshman of the Year Emma Hamm and World Cup Training Team member Sarah Bullard. Together with Davis and Jess Adam, the Blue Devil midfield is very dangerous.

Recipe by DancingCupcake11
"My spin on the classic crepe. The apple filling gives them a nice flavor and my family loves them!"
Watch video tips and tricks
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
8 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
I thought this recipe was excellent. It would be a very good item to prepare for a brunch or a hearty breakfast. Besides tasting great, it was easy to prepare. I followed the crepe batter recipe exactly as written. When I made the apple filling, I noticed that it got dry very quickly. Maybe I had the flame setting too high on my burner. Since I was worried about scorching the cinnamon and sugar, I decided to add some apple juice. I added 2/3 cup of apple juice. It thickened up nicely with the sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. At the end I decided to add 2 Tablespoons of butter. I highly recommend that you try this recipe. I love that it uses very common pantry ingredients. If you don't happen to have any apples at home, you could just spread some preserves or jam on these crepes. This apple recipe reminded me of apple pie. Thanks Dancing Cupcake for a very nice recipe that will impress anyone you serve it to. Enjoy!
dont like the batter but the topping is awesome
9 Ratings
Very nice recipe. I did have to add more milk than the 1 1/2 T called for after the batter rested. It was pretty thick and I wanted the batter to be able to spread easily in that pan. These could be made ahead of time and assembled just prior to serving. A very pretty dish. Thanks.
I used the recipe for the filling with the "Dessert Crepes" recipe for the actual crepe, so I can't say whether that "crepe" part of this recipe is good, but the filling was yummy. I made it with half red apples & half granny smith so it came out pretty sweet, but my group liked that. It was easy to make & hard to mess up given that I was only half paying attention while I was making it. I filled the crepes once with just the apples, which everyone liked, & then I made another batch where I put a little creamy peanut butter & some melted chocolate sauce on the crepe first, and then filled with the apple filling. That sounded gross to me at first, but it was actually really yummy if you like chocolate peanut buttery desserts.
Delicious. I even added some cream cheese to the apples for extra fatty yummyness.
I am 15 and I made these for my mom for Mother's Day. This was my first time making crepes and they turned out amazing! This is a noce and easy to follow recepie!
The apples were very yummy! they took a very long time to cook though.
Substituted Raspberries for apples and left cinnamon out of sauce. Also reduced oil by 75%

I am a proud new member of the Mustang Club of America. I am also a member of the Limestone County Mustang Club in Athens, AL. http://www.limestonecountymustangclub.org/
I bought my 2012 grabber blue gt in July. This is my first ever mustang. My dad bought a 1965 mustang new in 65 and sold in in 1972 due to a growing family. He is 75 now and has regretted that decision ever since. When I bought mine 40 years after he sold his, I took it straight to him and handed him the keys and said lets take it for a spin. His eyes lit up when he punched the big 5.0 and and he said to me, "You know its been 40 years since I was behind the wheel of a mustang and it feels great." " But this one has a little more power than my 289."
I have done the procal tune and k&n filter replacement and put on some GT500 axlebacks and it runs and sounds great.
Here are some pics of the new ride.

And sometimes less is more. "Giving it new paint, a new toilet, a new shower faucet, and a new [shower]head is probably the best bang for your buck. But that's assuming the flooring is nice and the walls around the tub and shower are in good standing condition," says contractor Dennis Gehman of Gehman Design Remodeling in Harleysville, Penn.
As you aim for the best ROI, don't squander money with these renovations:
Home offices. A number of people work from home, but most don't need a full-blown office. If you do convert a spare room to an office, opt for removable furniture rather than built-in cabinets. Built-in furniture gives the buyer fewer options with what they can do with the room, says Gehman. A home-office remodel recoups only 43 percent, on average.
Sunroom additions. You may recoup a fair amount if you live in a region where the sunroom can be used all four seasons, but in most cases, adding a sunroom will get you nowhere near a dollar-for-dollar return. Sunroom additions were among the lowest on Remodeling's list in terms of recouping costs—a paltry 46 percent. "We always try to get [buyers] their top three 'must haves' and a sunroom is rarely one of them," says agent Dossman.
"I see almost no sunrooms going in right now," says Daniel Steinkoler, president of Superior Home Services, Inc. in Washington, D.C. "More people these days are working within their existing footprint to improve their home."
Remember: What's popular now changes about every five years—contractors call this "stylistic depreciation"—so consider how much longer you plan to stay in the home before you do any major renovations.

ESPN STAR Sports, a sports broadcaster based in Singapore, has selected manufacturer and systems integrator Television Systems (TSL) to rebuild and upgrade the Asian sports network's transmission area.
The project is being done in three phases. The first took place two years ago when ESPN STAR Sports replaced its previous automation system with an Encoda system to handle complex live events. A SeaChange BMC 1653 server was also installed at that point, which is now being upgraded to a 65005 five-node system with 146GB disks.
The second phase, which is in progress, consists of a complete rebuild and upgrade of the sports network's transmission area. ESPN STAR has had six large manual transmission suites. That area is being converted to provide nine suites with space for an additional four. There will also be a multichannel position where all channels running under the automation system can be monitored.
Phase three, which is on the drawing board, will see the transition from tape in the rest of the facility to an entirely server-based production system.

With his victory over Sergio Moraes at this past Saturday's UFC 147 event in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Vitor Belfort protege Cezar "Mutante" Ferreira (5-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) earned his way into the UFC as the first-ever middleweight winner of "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil."
Now he's setting his sights much higher.
"I'm going to grow step by step and be amongst the biggest names of this event," Ferreira said through an interpreter. "That is my dream. That's what I'm going to do, and I'm going to do it well."
When the "TUF: Brazil" cast was unveiled, Ferreira was immediately considered among the show's strongest fighters. He made good on those expectations with submission wins over Gustavo Sampaio and Leonarda Mafra and a "Knockout of the Season" victory over Thiago Perpetuo to earn his way into the finals against Sergio Moraes, who replaced an injured Daniel Sarafian.
In a classic striker vs. grappler affair, Ferreira refused to engage his opponent on the ground, choosing instead to avoid his opponent's strengths and forcing Moraes to engage him on the feet.
While it paid off with a few highlight-reel moments, Moraes did prove a capable striker with a few well-timed power shots.
"He really surprised me," Ferreira admitted. "He's improved his striking. He's ready to become one of the big names of the UFC. I hope God blesses his career, and I wish he also does very well in the UFC. In my opinion, he gave a great fight, and I just have to congratulate him."
While Ferreira earned a clean sweep on all three judges' cards, the fight was much closer and more entertaining than that score might suggest. UFC president Dana White even tweeted during the contest that it was the "Fight of the Night," though he later rescinded that thought for the official award in favor of Rich Franklin and Wanderlei Silva's headlining clash.
While Ferreira didn't engage Moraes on the floor during the 15-minute contests, he insists that's not necessarily something to expect of him moving forward.
"I wouldn't have been at any disadvantage on the ground," Ferreira said. "I'm also a jiu-jitsu black belt. As my trainer told me, the only chance Sergio had was with jiu-jitsu, be it on top or underneath. So let's take him away from where he feels comfortable. I obeyed my camp.
"A fighter goes into a corner, and he has to use his corner as his navigation, and that is what I did. My corner told me to stand, so I did that. They wanted me to go up to him, so I did. When they wanted me to step back, I stepped back."
Ferreira, who's now expected to meet Sarafian later this year, has long trained under Belfort, who was also his coach on "TUF: Brazil." So connected are the two, Ferreira actually used Belfort's walkout music on his way to the octagon. It's a bond Ferreira doesn't foresee changing anytime soon.
"We've always been training together, and it won't be different," Ferreira said. "We will continue to work together. It's been successful so far, and in my career, I will be together Vitor to learn with him as I've always done."
What Ferreira does expect to see change, however, is his position in the middleweight world rankings. With his ticket to the octagon punched, "Mutante" is now ready to make an impression on the world stage.
"The first step in my dream has been reached, and I now I just need to work out a lot," Ferreira said. "I have to grow a lot in the UFC."

Electric, acoustic and synth sound all in one.
The Godin xtSA Flame Electric Guitar's sound power begins with three distinct voices: electric guitar, acoustic guitar and synth controller. The xtSA delivers big time electric sounds via the Godin humbucker-single-humbucker pickup configuration. Thanks to a special 5-way switch setup, extra meaty humbucker tones co-exist with glassy split-coil sounds in the second and fourth positions.
Turn down the electric output and raise the volume on the RMC transducer saddles and the xtSA sounds like an authentic acoustic guitar. The acoustic voice of the xtSA is enhanced by an onboard preamp with a three-way graphic EQ. The two outputs are set up so that the electric and acoustic voices can be blended in the guitar using a single patch cord or at the amp/mixer using both outputs.
The icing on the xtSA cake comes in the form of its synth tracking. As with all Godin synth-ready instruments, a built-in 13-pin connector provides direct access to all Roland GR-Series synths as well as most other 13-pin devices.
All of this sound power would be a lot less interesting if the guitar didn't feel great. Thanks to the same 25" scale mahogany neck used on the Godin flagship LGX-SA guitar, this is a very comfortable guitar to play. The ebony fingerboard is shaped with Godin's ergocut technique and equipped with medium jumbo frets. The body is made from a silverleaf maple center with poplar wings and decorated with a figured maple veneer on top.
Includes a gig bag.

Streaming video Questiong
Hey all
Okay, had the PB for a while, and I have to say, this has never worked well. It doesn't stream from a site I use to watch TV shows (projectfree.tv). My internet works excellently, the site works fine as it works from my laptop, but when the PB tries to run a show, it loads maybe 3-5 minutes, and "hangs". If I pause it and wait, it'll load another 3-5 minutes.
I have loaded, paused, and waited in excess of an hour, still no luck. Also, it often will get about 7-9 minutes into a show, and a reload symbol will appear, suggesting the show is over. NONE of these issues happen on any other device.
Mark - 10-01-2012, 03:55 PM #2
Lies. I watched the full run of Family Guy on my PlayBook on that very same site.
Ok, maybe not lies, but the PlayBook can do it. What OS do you have? I'm on beta. 840 and I hardly ever have issues. One other thing worth mentioning, the service's you pick to stream from are a major factor. Putlocker and Gorillavid used to take turns on giving me a hard time/working flawlessly.
Clear your cache, reboot the device (hold power, vol +, vol -) and maybe update the OS. Hope it gets better.
And of course, we will no longer stream from there when the PlayBook gets proper streaming services.

Yeah. I think the resolution of the videos can vary greatly. I just captured Season 1, Episode 1 of Family Guy on my PC and the total 22 minute vid was 68 MB, suggesting pretty low res. I played 20 minutes of America's Next Top Model on my PB without issue, and I'm now streaming an episode of Criminal minds, and while it is streaming OK, it does pause to buffer frequently. It seems like the vids come from different sources, so how well things stream can vary dependent on source and resolution.

I tried watching an ep of "How I met Your Mother" and I had to give up after trying repeatedly in 4 different browsers, and just go watch on my laptop.
According to the PB my OS is V22.214.171.1248. - 10-01-2012, 06:53 PM #5
I'm watching Doctor Who (past the 5 minute mark). Here is my advice:
1. The site you are watching is plagued with flash. Ensure you close the ads if you can. The PB does fairly well with flash, but multiple containers is too much for this great device. Close all tabs that accidentally open when scrolling, tapping, etc.
2. If that doesn't work, clean cache and storage in PB Browser.
3. Check your wifi dB levels in the PB. A good level is -45 to -35dB. That will ensure the streaming is continuous and with no much buffering.
4. If that fails, give SimpleBrowser a try.
ps. thanks for the link. I always wanted to watch Dr. Who =P - 10-01-2012, 07:04 PM #6Need Help?

Amazon ALWAYS works, other sites not so much
I was wondering when someone else was going to mention this. In my experience, Amazon videos and YouTube videos perform pretty much flawlessly. Though every once in awhile YouTube videos just won't load at all. The little spinny thing in the center of the viewing pane just spins indefinitely. This occasionally happens right on the YouTube Site, and quite a bit more often when the video is embedded in another site. And some sites are worse than others.. YT videos embedded at the Huffington Post never ever play for me.
This is also my experience on some of the US tv network websites. There, almost 100% of the time, videos will either not load at all or play for 3-4 minutes at a time and then pause to buffer or the video stalls while the audio keeps going. There is one network site that works great all the time though... I can't remember which one at the moment though. (Sadly it is not one that I watch a lot of shows on.)
This is why, for me, that Tablet TV app doesn't help at all.. For the most part, browser based streaming is too frustrating to bother with.
For awhile there I was watching eps of The Killing by actually downloading the entire video from Filebox using Web inspector. But that is just too much effort for me now.. And a dubious practice to me, morally.
My big question to those of you interested know is: Why is that? Why does Amazon ALWAYS work while the other places almost never work well on PB?
And what if anything can one do (if anything) to get acceptable performance? Mine is a 64G model.

Hello, I have exactly the same issue as the original poster. It would have been nice had this worked since it would have been a great solution to watch project free tv on my LED TV via HDMI (using torch 9860 as remote control, can't help myself...that's pretty cool)...anyway, like other users i have noticed that some streaming sites like project free tv will stall and despite several attempts, will never load the entire video and always seems to hang early on. ON the other hand youtube seems to work very well, and in fact better than my pc. Often the spinning icon will appear on the PC and i'll grab my PB to watch the video...I have not tried any amazon videos or any other browsers. In the process of installing 1032 upgrade of OS 2, although there doesn't seem to be any comments about any of this in the fixes so i am not hoping for this to fix it...
I'll keep checking to see if there is a solution.
Thanks for your comments. - 10-28-2012, 11:10 PM Thread Author #10
Re: Streaming video Questiong
So, nobody ever figured out the why of this then?
Mark - 10-29-2012, 01:28 AM #11
Re: Streaming video Questiong
I don't really have an answer to the issue but just for fun, after reading this I went to my usual site for TV that I use on my computer and tried it on my PB. (I'm new to PB. Only had it a week so this is the first time I've tried this) I searched the episode of The Walking Dead that aired tonight and it picked up pretty much right away. Just paused it for 2 mins to allow for the stream to get ahead and all was well. I've found that even with some youtube vids I've watched on my computer have had that slow lag at times. I would have to agree with a previous post and state that it is usually the source, whether it be putlocker, sockshare, or others, that is hit and miss. If one takes too long, close it and find another. Most good sites will offer multiple streams.

Aside from project free tv - which has never worked on the PB but always on my laptop - what sites do you all suggest that are PB friendly? - 10-29-2012, 03:15 PM #13

I'd say try tv-links.eu for tv and solarmovie.eu or movie2k.to for movies.

Public transit ad depicting a brain: note pointing to one side says "Can you solve one of our puzzles" and the note pointing to the other side reads "can you explain it to your mom?". Text below reads "We're hiring hackers with people skills". Someone has added a post-it note to the advertisement which reads "My mom has a PhD in math"
2 thoughts on "My mom has a phd in math: hacked bus advert"
This ad isn't only sexist, it also implies that older women, and specifically older women who have conceived are lacking in brain power. Thankfully some of us have spunky kids who know how to use a post-it!

Hi there,
we're planning a very special anniversary trip to Australia.
It's our first time, and of course want to go to Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef (we love the water, animals, and nature, and feel like we would be foolish if we didn't see Sydney, since there is so much to do - definitely want to climb the bride and see Taronga Zoo).
However, after reading some articles, we really want to go to Western Australia (Perth and Monkey Mia specifically, would like to see Margaret River wine area, Cape Naturaliste, and Rottnest Island as well!)
Can you tell me if this is a realistic itinerary, and how much time we should spend in each area to see the highlights without feeling incredibly rushed. We have two weeks, maybe two and half weeks maximum.
Lastly, is something like this going to be very expensive, or do those muti-stop air passes this affordable?
Thanks so much, and I look forward to your replies. Please reply here, as my e-mail has been down. Thanks again!!
Too Expensive & Time consuming to go to Western Australia?

Lois, congratulations on your special anniversary!
Same ol' question - What time of the year will you be here? Remember our summer is normally wet in Qld (Dec - Mar).
With only 2 - 2 1/2 weeks I'd do EITHER the east coast OR the west coast, but NOT both. There really isn't enough time.
Check out web sites for:
ansett and
virgin airlines
They all give great internet flight prices.
Have a great trip! Any questions I'd be happy to try and find answers for you.

Hi Rhonda!
Thanks so much for your help and kind words!
My husband just found out that if we go in late June/early July, he will be able to take three weeks.
However, we can only take two weeks if we go in September.
What would you suggest?
I have read that September is the ideal time to go weather wise, so we are thinking that maybe we will go then, and concentrate on the East Coast.
Oh how I wish I could get to the West Coast though, with all the wonderful nature and wildlife activities, but I just cannot imagine coming all the way there, and not seeing Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef!
Any other help and advice is so appreciated!
What would you suggest? Thanks so much! -
Report Abuse
If you only have two or three weeks, go to one or the other - you really don't have enough time to do both.
Western Australia in September (springtime) is spectacular - the wildflowers are unique and absolutely magnificent. If you want to go to Monkey Mia, bear in mind that it is about 830 km north of Perth - a long drive. If you do drive there, check out the Pinnacles National Park en route.
My recommendation would be to hire a car in Perth, drive north to Kalbarri National Park (about 600 km north of Perth), then return to Perth via New Norcia and York. Keep going south to Margaret River and Cape Naturaliste. Incidentally I understand you can see dolphins at Bunbury (south of Perth).
Spend a few days in Perth so that you can do Rottnest Island, go to Fremantle, visit Kings Park and generally have a look around the city.
On the other hand, June/July is an ideal time to visit Queensland and the reef. Big decision! -
Report Abuse
If you take 3 weeks in June/July could you spend 2 weeks in W.A. and fly home via Sydney for a few days? You would definately be doing something different as most US tourists would probably only see the east coast. Remember that's our coldest time of the year; you'd need a coat. If you do decide to fly Perth to Sydney, there is a time difference of 3 hours (I think) and a flight time of about 4 hours - there goes a day just travelling! You will, however, appreciate the vastness of this country and, if travelling in daylight, see how different the middle of our country is compared to yours.
Decisions, decisions. Good luck. -

Is it Australia cheap or expensive ? what kind of food they have ? eating in restaurant is expensive ?
Report Abuse
To save costs you could also check out the wineries in the Hunter Valley from your base in Sydney. Google and you will be able to get information on tours etc from Sydney. If you travel in June/July weather will be pleasant in northern queensland but winter in Sydney so you will need a combination of clothes. If you stay on the east coast you could call into Brisbane and visit Tangalooma resort. They have bottle nosed dolphins who come to the resort each evening to be fed. September is the start of whale watching season too. There are lots of day tours on vessels to watch the humpbacks migrating to the Antarctic. I am trying to think of ways to save you travel time and money but to be able to do some of things that appealed about Western Australia.
Good luck but dont forget to keep asking questions. I did before our recent trip to the States. Google and fodors were my best friend. -

As an American who has seen a little of areas you are considering plus some you didn't mention...Do Sydney and the West Coast then if time allows go for some time around the GBR.
Western Australia is the best and should not be missed! What we saw of that area was wonderful, some of the best times of the trip.
For a description of what we did and pictures go to:
go to the index on the right hand side and click on Jan, We arrived in Sydney on Jan 21 and left Sydney on a cruise ship to GBR Feb 18. The blog is day by day. We spent 6 of our days riding the India Pacific and Ghan instead of flying. Also went to Darwin instead of the Northern part of the West coast.
By flying and renting a car you will be amazed at what you can really do in 2 1/2 to 3 weeks. Also plan on staying 2,3 or 4 days in cottage type places at each stop and branching out from there. Self cateringplaces were cheaper and we saved $$ fixing our own food, lots of places to pick up carry out items made meals simple and very good. With three weeks and a couple of well planned flights you should be able to have a very worthwhile rewarding visit to Sydney, the West coast (at least parts) and the Cairns area.
People tended to discouraged us from all our moving around, but we had a ball and would do it again in a heart beat...in fact I am beginning the plans for another trip down under for 2014. The prices were and seem to still be on par whithwhat we spend in the US. -

Oh, you are lucky to be planning for July or Sept. We were there in Jan-Feb...not ideal, but still not as bad as we thought. The WET in the North was something!

Hi, not sure where ou are at and sorry if i repeat what is already said. As I live in WA can I just say that it is a VERY big area and you can easily spend 2 weeks here and then a few days in Sydney.
I am yet to go the the GBR - but our beaches are amazing over here no matter where you go and the diving and snorkling even at the local Rotto ...aka Rottnest is sensational!
I love Sydney and fly over pretty much every year but I am yet to go further out then the city . . but I have been to Bondie and Manly and our beaches are much more quiet and just stunning.
If you can come to WA you won't regret it! Happy to help with suggestions . .. a lot of us locals use www.stays.com.au to book our trips away. Good luck! -

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. It's one thing for shoplifters to hide plunder in their pants. But a live ferret? Police said a homeless man in north Florida did just that. And he made it out the door before being challenged. Rodney Bolton, 38, was charged with theft over the $129 animal that police say he took from a pet store in Jacksonville Beach.
A 17-year-old witness confronted Bolton in the parking lot and was bitten by the animal after the man allegedly shoved it in the teen's face.
That confrontation makes the ferret a "special weapon" under Florida law. So Bolton also faces battery charges for dangerously wielding the animal.
Calls to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Department to see if Bolton has a lawyer were not answered early Thursday.

The poultry's here to roost ..."Freckles" made noise from inside a small kennel, hoping her owners would realize she wanted attention.
She wanted out, desperate for her favorite person - her "dad," Austin Johnson - to scratch her on the neck. The young Rhode Island Red hen is as much of a family pet as she is an egg provider. When Johnson and his wife, Amy, open the door at their Hutchinson home, Freckles and her 10 companions do a waddle run to see what kind of treat they're going to get. "Ours are spoiled rotten," Amy said. The couple brought Freckles and two of their Blue Swedish ducks to the Hutchinson Public Library this week for a "Lunch and Learn" session on urban chicken farming. Winterizing the coop It might look like Christmas in the Johnson family chicken coop during the fall and winter, but lights strung up in the coop are a way to provide light so the chickens will keep producing as many eggs when there isn't as much sunlight. Since it has started to get dark earlier, the chickens in the coop have laid a couple of eggs a day. But when Austin puts the lights on a timer from about 6 p.m. to 7 a.m., they plan to be rewarded with seven or eight eggs per day. They caution, however, that in the winter, the No. 1 thing people need to do for their chickens is make sure the water isn't iced over, Austin said. "They still drink gallons and gallons of water," he said. Chickens also can suffer from an iron deficiency in the winter. The best thing to do is feed them leafy greens full of iron. It helps the chickens' nutrition as well as gives the eggs a whiter pigment. The Johnsons also plan to put out alfalfa hay since the non-grassed yard does not have weeds in the winter. Bringing them home Amy lovingly calls her husband "the Chicken Whisperer." Austin doesn't mind. "It's a gift I didn't know I had until two years ago," he said. But he's not a newcomer to the animals. Austin has been around chickens for as long as he can remember. He remembers going to his grandparents' farm since he was a year old to help out with the coop. "The passion of being around chickens and the farm is really what got me involved," he said. He read books at the library about having chickens in his backyard. He looked up a Hutchinson city ordinance and found that it was legal to have chickens. Then he asked Amy if they could start a coop. "I didn't necessarily do it in the right order, but I wanted to have all of my information," he said. "It was just a passion. I love it and I can't get enough of them." The couple has owned chickens for about three years. When they first got Freckles, Amy called her "Vampire." The hen would chase Amy around and peck at her heels when she came out to feed or collect eggs - until Amy's sister's dog had something to say about it. When the dog latched ahold of Freckles, Amy came to the rescue - and the hen has shown her gratitude. "For some reason, she hasn't pecked me since then," Amy said. The couple sells chicken eggs for $3 a dozen, most going to Austin's barber and family members. Hutch chicken ordinance Chickens are legal in the city of Hutchinson.
