Full Length CODXP Multiplayer Briefing video
Call of Duty XP is over now, but content from the event doesn't seem to stop. Everyone wants to find out more about the Multiplayer aspect of Modern Warfare 3.
I posted Separate Multiplayer Briefing videos and recapped what was revealed during CODXP. But for some reason, Activision thought it would be nice to release a full-length recap of the whole briefing. For those of you who want to see the video in it's entirety…
We still have more Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 information to come.

In the opening sequence of Gravity, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play two astronauts conducting repairs on the Hubble telescope orbiting Earth when disaster strikes, sending her hurtling through space, untethered, floating farther and farther away until she's just another tiny white light in the cosmos.
The scene neatly sets up all the elements of the remarkable film that follows. There is no sound in space, so when the telescope explodes silently, it takes a few seconds for your eyes to catch up and process what's happening, because your ears provide no clues. The camera floats weightlessly the way the astronauts do, like magic, occasionally pulling in for a close-up of Bullock's face, somehow going through the glass of her helmet to show us her eyes, then back out again. And much of the startling sequence unfolds in one single, uninterrupted shot that lasts, what, 10 minutes? Fifteen? Twenty?
Director Alfonso Cuarón isn't telling.
"I honestly don't know the exact length," Cuarón says via telephone from Los Angeles. "We weren't trying to compete in the Olympics of long shots. We didn't want the shot to call attention to itself. Otherwise it becomes the goal of the scene — it becomes what I call a 'Look, Ma, no hands!' kind of shot. We're just doing stuff that makes sense for our narrative. Your shots are part of your movie's language. And the language of this movie is to make you feel like you're floating up in space with the characters."
Gravity, which opens Friday, is the culmination of a process that began nearly five years ago when Cuarón's son Jonás asked him to read a script he had written called Desierto ( Desert), about two illegal immigrants battling the elements while trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
Cuarón, who hadn't directed a movie since 2006's dystopian sci-fi adventure Children of Men, was invigorated by the focus and intensity of the screenplay (which Jonás is soon to direct himself, starring Gael Garcia Bernal).
"I really didn't have that many notes to give him about his script," Cuarón, 52, says. "Instead, I asked him if he would write something else like it with me. He kind of took me out of a chest, dusted me off and reawakened my desire to make films. We wanted to do something along the lines of Desierto — something that was tense and suspenseful from the start of the film to the end, sprinkled with thematic elements that are conveyed through visual metaphors instead of dialogue. And then we started talking about the metaphorical possibilities of space."
Although the finished screenplay for Gravity was 90 pages, the movie is refreshingly light on dialogue, most of it consisting of playful banter between Clooney, Bullock and the NASA command center — at least until their situation becomes dire, and then the joking stops.
But in order to make the ambitious movie he envisioned in his head, Cuarón first needed to find out if it was even possible.
"Every film is like a free-fall," he says. "You just have to jump and hope that your parachute will open. We spent a lot of time developing the technology to shoot this movie, and we didn't know if it was going to work until deep in the process. It was a big unknown, and we didn't have a safety net."

Settle traffic arguments by challenging an opposing driver to a duel on Boomers!'s speedy go-carts. Or just cruise solo, banking curves and outdriving total strangers in a wild day of rubber-burning and dust-eating. For crashtastic thrills, climb aboard a bumper boat and drift on the waterscape, floating amok and gleefully broadsiding fellow captains. A bit of the briny seeps into Boomers!'s mini-golf range, where it creates a sparkling blue hazard to complement the verdant greens. Finish the day with a feeling of accomplishment that comes only from climbing Boomers!'s big, giant rock wall. The 32-foot climbing surface has a variety of handholds and different climbing options, so explore them all with the three climbs. Be sure to check Boomers! Medford's hours before heading out.
Pump It Up is a blissfully big space designed to help kids meet their needs for friendship, midair dance moves, and gravity defiance. Parents can watch as their bounce-prone descendants slide, scale, and moonwalk around Pump It Up's inflatable arena. The party zone draws kids with its promise of afternoon hang time and offers a brief history lesson in its resemblance to King Louis XVI's famous "jumpy castle." Kids can bond with one another through the subtle physical fitness that comes with recreational jumping, and they'll be glad to have a spot to discuss pressing kid-only issues, such as the superiority of the color blue to the color green.
High-school social-studies teacher Anthony Pennino Sr. played his first round of paintball in 1985. By the following year Tony had gathered 20–30 friends and kin for paintball bouts on his family's private land. As demand for paintball guns and safety gear grew among his brigade of marksmen, he converted his basement into a makeshift store, supplying paintball accoutrement from home until moving into a storefront in 1990. Within two decades Tony and his clan formed the lauded paintball team the New York Dogs, opened their own indoor arena, and eventually combined that arena with their largest store yet.
That facility forms the backbone of Island Paintball, where a sports turf field hosts Model 98–brandishing players. In between games, players can watch other contests from behind the staging area's Plexiglas viewing windows or browse Island Paintball Supplies' gun wall and 12 massive showcases of paintball gear. An in-house gunsmith repairs any malfunctioning guns, which patrons can wield at open-play sessions and private parties.
The Long Island Aquarium & Exhibition Center throws its visitors into the shark tank. And the tropical lagoon. And the salt marsh. As executive director Bryan DeLuca noted in the New York Times, the center (formerly Atlantis Marine World) is one of the most interactive aquariums in the area, which snagged it a place on Parents magazine's list of the 10 Best Aquariums for Kids. The Atlantis-themed aquarium's educational exhibits combine myth with science as they bring guests face to gills with creatures such as eels, jellyfish, seals, and clownfish. In addition to its indoor and outdoor exhibits right on the banks of the Peconic River, the aquarium delights guests with aquatic adventures such as snorkeling or receiving a photo op and kiss from loveable sea lion Java, who still dreams of one day being turned into a beautiful princess.
Slides, climbing structures, and three inflatable jumpers and obstacle courses outfit Wood Kingdom's 5,000-square-foot indoor playground, while a separate snack area and private birthday room quarantine feasting children from frolicking ones. Elsewhere, knowledgeable staffers in the family-operated business' indoor and outdoor showrooms walk patrons through an extensive stock of home-playground equipment and outdoor furnishings, including trampolines with safety enclosures, basketball hoops, and gazebos. Wood Kingdom personnel subsequently delivers, installs, and maintains each piece of equipment, ensuring that sheds continue to reject move-in offers from portals to the underworld and swing sets are properly assembled.
Bayville Adventure Park provides thrills and chills for visitors of all ages. Attractions such as a tree-top adventure zone and rock climbing wall encourage healthy competition, while a pirate-themed miniature golf course invites guests to practice their short game and best parrot impression. The park also has an arcade and an ice cream parlor. And while the environs at Bayville are generally swashbuckling, the arrival of fall heralds a change and decks every available hall to transform into a winter wonderland in November with attractions like Captain Bay's Yo Ho Holiday Lights Show (which opens at 4:00 p.m), Santa's Toy Factory Fun House, a holiday shop, a holiday express train, ice skating, and a chance to meet Santa Claus himself and other holiday characters.
Fun Station USA fills its indoor space with the scaled-down amenities of an amusement park, such as mechanical rides, a multileveled maze, and a large concession stand stocked with carnival cuisine. At all hours of operation, the air buzzes with excitement—a byproduct of jingle-jangling machines, flashing lights, and splashes of color at every corner. After acquiring tickets from myriad arcade games that include skee-ball and air-cannon shooting galleries, revelers head to the redemption counter to exchange their winnings for prizes and foreign currency.

Originally designed for surfing, boardies are now the essential fashion, beach and watersports wear. There is nothing like surfing in them... if the water is warm enough. We have loads of brands to choose from and detailed information below to help you choose a pair that suit.
A Quick History
The first pairs of modern boardshorts can be attributed to Australian surfers Alan Green and John Law (founders of Quiksilver), who made the first pairs in the late 1960's.
Boardies in Detail
Modern board shorts have a choice of two types of fly. A velcro fly (as pictured above) is the most common. Neoprene is also sometimes used as an alternative. This material can be stretched when required. Metal flys are not used due to the problem with rust!
Lining & Material
Boardshorts are made from a polyester or nylon and as such are quick drying and light. Boardshorts often do not have a lining like swimshorts and it is often preferred this way. This is not always the case so check for your preference before buying.
Tie Cord
Some come with an elasticated waistband but we think you should ignore there. The best option is the tie cord for two reasons.
- You can secure your shorts to protect against a Janet Jackson style wardrobe malfunction
- Rashguards often have a cord loop so you can attach your rashie to your boardies to prevent it from pulling up over you head
Seams are often blindstiched or glued for added comfort. This minimises chafing when paddling around.
Pocket Holes
Pocket holes for the obvious reason of water drainage. No point in carrying around pockets filled with water is there?

I have a web-based tool that I'd like to market to small private practice doctors. I'm looking for traditional journals and other forms of advertising that would target these medical professionals.
There's always the route of cold calling and doing business the traditional way but as my background is in social advertising, am looking for more "efficient" methods of reaching out to doctors.
The product is a SaaS planning tool for doctors. Thanks in advance!

Karen Mills loves food trucks on a number of levels – of course, for the variety of cuisine they bring to the curbs of cities like Washington, but also for the start-up and expansion opportunities they present to food-minded entrepreneurs.
"These food truck owners are an important customer base for us," Mills, head of the Small Business Administration, said while enjoying some gazpacho from The Big Cheese truck earlier this week outside the agency's headquarters in the District. "Many of them are looking for money for the next truck or a loan to move into a brick-and-mortar restaurant, and we have programs in place to help them find that capital."

About Bear Drive
BearDrive is UNC's new secure, web-based file sharing, information storage and work collaboration solution for students and faculty. It replaces temp drive, the unsecured file storage system used by many students. With BearDrive, files can be securely accessed from on campus and off campus, eliminating the need for carrying CDs or portable storage drives, or sending them through e-mail.
BearDrive is the first major initiative funded by the technology fee that UNC students pay.
BearDrive features include:
- File Sharing - Share a file or folder with UNC and non-UNC groups or individuals
- Permissions - if other people can view, edit, delete or manage files or folders you share with them and for how long (from minutes to years)
- File Storage – Save files on a server that can be easily accessed from anywhere online
- Intuitive Interface - Familiar visual cues for easy navigation
- Wizards - Provide assistance with procedures, such as setting permissions on files and folders
- Drag & Drop - Drag-and-drop file uploads within the browser interface
- Web Publishing - Supports basic web publishing via a Web content folder
- Web Interface - Allows easy access (uploads, downloads, etc.) to a user file from any computer on the Internet that has a browser
- Versatility - For Windows 2000 and XP Professional and Vista; Macintosh OS 9 and X; Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher on Windows, IE 5.2 and higher on Macintosh; Mozilla 1.4 and higher, including Firefox; and Safari 1.0 and higher on Macintosh OS X.
- RSS – Keeps users informed by notifying and retrieving the latest content from shared files and folders
- Labeling – User functions such as sharing, moving, and bookmarking are clearly labeled
BearDrive benefits include:
- When you e-mail a file to yourself or burn it to a CD, you are creating a duplicate copy. By using BearDrive instead, you're always accessing the same file from any Internet connection.
- You can also set up BearDrive to keep older versions of your files in case you need them.
- Using BearDrive instead of e-mail eliminates the use of e-mail as a file storage system.
- You can share with UNC people and UNC groups such as course, programs or any other campus group (e-mail distribution groups).
- You can also share with non-UNC people by making files "public" or creating "tickets."
- You decide who can access your files by person, course, program or group. You can also grant access to the public or to all UNC people.
- You decide the level of access other people have to your files by granting read, write, delete, or administer permissions.
- Your files are secure. Search engines and random people cannot search for your protected files.
- BearDrive has content management tools that make it easier to share files with others, such as "check in/check out," "activity tracker," "comments," "versioning," and "tickets."
- When you delete a file or folder in BearDrive, it gets moved to the Trash folder. In case you delete a file or folder by accident, you can move or copy it out of your trash to restore it.

Drivers in Ithaca face a sudden challenge as construction crews appear on what seems like every street. The mayor held a press conference Friday explaining why there's a sudden frenzy of roadwork. And as our Tamara Lindstrom tells us, it's likely to get worse before it gets better.
ITHACA, N.Y. -- With more than sixty construction projects scheduled for 2012, the city that's known for being green is suddenly seeing orange.
"People are annoyed that it's taking them longer to get to work and it's taking them longer to get to the grocery store. On the other hand, we're hearing a lot of relief that the streets are finally getting paved. That we're getting to those potholes, that we're replacing the bridges that are falling apart," said Ithaca Mayor, Svante Myrick.
The dozens of projects have led to torn up streets, closed roads and detours zigzagging through the city. It's a situation that has drivers frustrated, and the mayor calling 'Carmageddon.'
"It's going to feel like the end of the world if you're stuck in your car in July for twenty minutes, trying to get up the hill," Myrick said.
And it's going to get worse. The East Clinton Street Bridge, a major thruway to South Hill, is about to close for the rest of the year, after getting poor marks on a state inspection.
"The evaluation did not come out really good, as a 3.4 out of 9," said assistant city engineer Tom West. "It's been scheduled for reconstruction using state and federal funding, and now is its time."
Besides the roadwork, scores of building projects, both public and private will soon be underway. Officials say a thawing of the frozen economy has led to the boom.
"There's a sort of break in the economic log jam," West said. "And so we're seeing some of these projects that have been on the books come to fruition."
"We're also seeing private sector developments that were put on hold for years and are now just coming online and everybody is racing to get their projects completed," Myrick said.
As for the drivers who are sick of being stuck, the mayor recommends taking to the sidewalks instead. Drivers can stay updated on road closures and construction on the city's website at www.ci.ithaca.ny.us.

Our priests, our future
These are exciting times for vocations in our Archdiocese.
Last month I had the blessing of attending the graduation of St. John Seminary. Last Saturday, June 1, I was honored to ordain two fine men to the priesthood.We are looking ahead at the new school year and I am really encouraged. It looks like we may have 20 to 25 new seminarians this year.
Our future looks bright. Recently I hosted an "Andrew Dinner." This is a dinner inspired by the Gospel story of St. Andrew bringing St. Peter to meet Jesus. In this case, pastors from around the Archdiocese bring young men from their parishes to have dinner with me and to talk about the exciting adventure of the priesthood. We had a great dinner and about 40 men came who were discerning their vocation to the priesthood.
These men have realized the beautiful truth — that the priesthood is a great adventure, a journey that a man walks in friendship with Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is calling men today to follow him. To be close to him. To be so close that they can be his living image. Jesus is calling men to be him in a special way. To be his face and his hands and his voice in the world.
On this journey of the priesthood, men are called to continue the work of Jesus. As we see in the Gospels, Jesus moved from town to town — teaching and preaching the Kingdom of God and healing every illness.
The priest's mission is Christ's mission. By ordination, the priest is granted the privilege of sharing in our Lord's own priesthood, of ministering in persona Christi. Jesus told his apostles and he tells his priests, Whoever hears you hears him. Whoever sees you will know the Father.
Only his ordained priests have the awesome power to speak in Jesus' name — to grant his forgiveness, to feed his people with his Body and Blood.
Jesus calls his priests to be the guardians of the flock of God. To be the protectors, the leaders, the spiritual guides for the family of God.
And he sends his priests into the world to grow the family of God — to evangelize and to share the good news of salvation and reconciliation with God.
This is a message that the world is looking for. The people of our world want to know God. The priest has the beautiful mission of bringing God to others. To show men and women that God is real, that God is alive.
People are hungry for love, for community, for communion. They are hungry for God. That is why Jesus left us the Eucharist. He left us himself. As the food of God, the bread of the angels, the bread of life.
Jesus promised to abide with us until the end of the age. He loves us so much that he wanted to be our food, our daily bread. The Eucharist is his daily presence among us, the beautiful reminder every day at every altar of his love and his sacrifice for us. And he left the Eucharist in the hands of his priests.
More than anything, the adventure of the priesthood is an adventure of friendship with Christ.
Jesus calls the priest to follow him in everything he does. By his words — by his preaching and teaching of the Word of God. By his works of healing and forgiveness. But most importantly, by his life — by his witness to purity, and faith, and love.
The priest must live close to Jesus. He must seek to be more like him every day — through his contact with Jesus in the Scriptures and in the sacraments, especially the Eucharist and confession. The priest is called to stay true to Christ's commandments and to the duties he is entrusted with.
The Gospel tells us that Jesus' heart was moved with pity for people. And this month of June is the month that the Church dedicates to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Priests should always remember that. Priests have to love with the heart of Jesus! They must be men of compassion. Men in whom others see the heart of God! The priest should be the voice of God's compassion in all that he does.
This week let's keep praying for more vocations. We can never have enough holy priests! Let's thank God for our new priests, and let's pray for all our priests and seminarians, our future! And if you know a young man you think might have a calling, give him our website — www.lavocations.org.
Let us go to Our Blessed Mother, Our Lady of the Angels, the patroness of this great Archdiocese. Let us ask her to watch over our new priests. And let us ask her intercession that we might love God more deeply and serve our brothers and sisters in love.

Back with us now for a more conversation about Egypt Robin Wright and Judith Miller and the conversation -- well and here in the winning big questions that comes out.
Is whether or not what we're seeing any -- is Dave -- Pete.
What we sought in Iran in 1979 opposed democratic election power grab -- and the person elected that led to wit some cost theocracy others called dictatorship.
Understanding Robin that they're very different countries and different people.
Knew what what do you think about this comparisons in the likelihood that's what we're seeing here in Egypt.
They're more differences than similarities between the two countries but the reality is this the core problem is the same and that's to finding a new order.
And the issue is not just president more seize power grab it is how do you create a different system to replace a dictatorship or autocratic regime.
And what are the roles of Islam and politics what are the rights for women and minorities and what are the rules about issues like -- -- criticism.
Of Islam and these are issues that still have to be dealt with by Egypt and the different forces that are currently -- conflict with each other.
So -- in that sense we are seeing some similarities with -- the kind of democratic chaos that followed Iran's revolution.
-- using -- your thoughts and that's I think there -- too many similarities for comfort I do worry about Egypt going in that direction even though.
Yes there are many many differences but the problem with a country like Egypt which is used to central government.
Is that temporary power grabs like the -- the president -- has tried to do now have a tendency to become permanent power grabs.
You know emergency laws went to into effect in Egypt.
Right after -- was fascinated and neighbor in effect until the day that Hosni Mubarak was overthrown.
More than thirty years later so.
That's what we want to prevent.
In Egypt we don't want Egypt to go their way of -- -- -- to have you both back because the next question of course is.
The way we deal you know what do we do to not repeat history and if if there is the role for us there.
I've Robin -- great discussion thank you so much for the time today.

Cross by Red Harbinger - Monitormountmod Here I am with a new project As some of you might know, ever since I finished the L3p D3sk project all 6 of us have been busy with the company named Red Harbinger. This team exists out of these great persons. First project ... to improve, re-design and compatibilize the L3p D3sk. This will be completely different compared to my other buildlogs.. It's the build of the first prototype available for the market soon. I thought, if I have to test it anyway.... why not make a buildlog and use this opportunity to get as much as possible input from you readers. Please keep in mind this is a prototype. Few things we already changed months ago in the design but aren't in this prototype yet. - Leg height 2 1/2" lower - Illuminating the legs - Lots of small things - Got a dual system version, should've been single So here we go! Can you imagine how excited I was after 12 months having this in front of my door? Right after unpacking it, just had to see how it would look like 'Few' hours later. Updates: 1. Unpacking the desk 2. Renders 3. Cross buildroom 4. The hardware part 1 5. The hardware part 2 6. Inspecting the prototype 7. Installing the prototype 8. Modding the prototype 9. The hardware part 3 10. Tubing and filling 11. Before the event 12. Firstlook 2012 13. Back to Cross 14. Modding continues 15. Monitormountmod 16. Final adjustments 17. Final pics Sponsors & Partners Red Harbinger / Cross FAQ
I ve seen your L3P D3SK build.. and I did nt expect any improved revision as it was great in its own right!.. but with the Cross prototype u guys seem to have done another great desk & possibly better than it.. red theme looks serious gaming type looking forward to more updates!.. also, a general question.. removable/washable filters on fan intakes is a norm with cases these days.. i wonder if u have incorporated it in ur prototype?..
I am subbed on this one!!!!!!!! Wow, I want one of them desks L3p!!!!!!!!! Yea, as NHKS stated, I followed your L3P desk build along. Geez, what geek didn't? LOLOL This should be crazy awesome.
Tell me you are based on Europe so we can have nice shipping Also which standard have you adopted with fans? 120mm or 140mm? Thanks l3p. Awesome work.
Off topic here, but does that cars headlights have eye lashes? Looking forward to seeing the revisions!
Thanks! And ... yes soon Thanks radrok! The desk is compatible with 120mm fans else it would get too high. However ... it does allow 14 of them Yes indeed ... my wife's car
Just another question, if you don't mind of course, if someone doesn't want the dual tray desk will be possible to install let's say a MO-RA3 horizontally on the other side? I am very looking forward to this product. Thanks.
No problem man This desk will also be available in a single pc version. If you would remove the HDD/second pc tray and don't use the 5.25" slots (right) or the HDD brackets (left) there's a space of 500x440x180mm
First of all, again want to remind you this is a prototype. Unpacking. So .... there it was. No idea what the actual weight was incl all glass panels and some other stuff I needed. I think around 90-100Kg. I was 'home alone' and tried pulling/pushing it, but didn't move an inch. 5 minutes later it even started to rain Since there wasn't a neighbour available either I came up with a thousands of years old idea. It worked pretty well My heart still bouncing. Package was just as big as my couch. First top package contained these panels for the legs (old design) and the glass for the shelf. (Other top package contained some hardware you'll see later) Glass for the shelf connected to the legs. It has a frosted bottom and rounded edges. And a lasered logo on top. The big package exists out of 3 smaller boxes. Top one contains the desk itself and all smaller stuff needed for the desk. As you can see the desk will come partly assembled. Second level contains the big top glass panel With a frosted bottom edge, also a small logo and off course rounded edges. The third and last box contains the assembled legs, backside cover (where PSU and all cables go), and the panel between the legs for more stability. (This panel got a great improvement in the next prototype on looks and stability, you'll see it later) Unpacking the small stuff. Leg and backside cover on the background. Unboxing the desk. Back side. Front. It's incredibly huge ... I knew the size but still the only word that came up in me was WOW! Well.. I was still on my own, so had to find a way to lift it on the legs just for a few photos Really love this color and way of powdercoating. Off course it will be available in many colors/finishes. The grommets! Well I got a few spares I guess. The switches. What color do you guys prefer? My choice is black/red led Glass panel on top of the desk. (Still without rubber seal) As you guys can see it's pretty high, we lowered the next prototype about 2 1/2". I found a good purpose for that quite unhandleable box Tomorrow I'll post some (concept) renders we're busy with incl. the monitor stand.
and folowing another of your threads.. goddammit I want one like that =) my single core laptop is getting a bit old right now =(
Renders! Well I got some questions about the possible colors and the monitor stand. Maybe this post will make some things clear. There's also a render coming up with all the in and outside measurements in mm and inch to answer some of your questions. These were made by perfect cooperation between Shawn and Scott First of all an exploded view of the prototype I have here. And the HDD bracket I personally won't be using for this build but will be in the standard desk. Our plans are to have the desk in a few standard colors. However there is an option to order the desk completely color-customized. So this render is just to show what parts could be in your own custom color. The monitor stand. This is still just a concept, but we're working on it Reservoirs. Also a concept we're busy with. Don't ask for details And some renders of a white desk with concept reservoirs.
PURE QUALITY!!.. keep the info coming.. - for the power button, would like it black w/ red led as u said but i guess a brushed-metal switch(anodized black) would give a better look & feel.. - the attention to detail with logos(frosted & lased) is pure-class!.. maybe u should give the option to customize a 'part' of the glass space for the customer to have his artwork/system specs/graffiti lased on to the glass?.. i know i wouldnt do it but some customers might like the option - the back-panel between the legs i feel could be wee bit further up so that ppl would not feel claustrophobic about stretching their legs! just a thought.. i do strech sometimes and if some panel hinders then i feel uncomfortable
These are just sick... The usually refer to this as a privacy or "modesty" panel. These are common on desks to protect nice ladies in short skirts.
Man this is awesome, I've been following your l3p d3sk since the very beginning, I am so going to make an order on day one
+++++11111 on that. Being in the UK, I have to wonder when it will be available in the United States? This is just pure awesomeness in every sense of the word!!!!! I could put both my i7 systems in one unit and free up a TON of space.
Thanks guys! Been a while since we're all very busy. First of all I want to thank Youri Vandevelde! From the very start he has been a Red Harbinger 'fan' and he made a FAQ by gathering all questions and answers from all forums and facebook. Red Harbinger FAQ Also added this link to the topic start and will be updated constantly. If you have any other questions ... shoot We had a lot of changes in the desk. Example of only 10 of the 40 changes of the last 5 weeks. - Less screws on the vanity plate/leg plating. - Have a stand-off PEM under the top and middle portion of the right side tray to prevent sagging. - PEM's on inside of legs to attach the bottom leg rest, top to chassis, and rear to backplate. - Added faster bottom access panel removal/install option. - Tube holes near cpu just as high as the holes in the middle/bridge. - Center bridge monitor cabling section has a screw in the way. - 5.25" slots too narrow cause of powdercoat. - HDD tray hole covers - Fan connector space on left and right. - Grommet holes beneath 5.25" trays. Lots of things you find out once you have a prototype to test. For this specific build I also have a small problem The prototype intended for me to test appeared to be a dual pc desk. Wouldn't have been a problem except there were no single pc desk 'firewall' and 'HDD-tray'. Manufacturing a single set in the US with the same powdercoat and sending it to Holland would be too expensive. So decided to build a dual pc desk .. Need to be tested anyway. Still need to arrange the hardware but that will hopefully work out. Off course I also needed a place to build and test this desk.... When I just took the picture from this corner my wife ... never mind .... no option Attic? Nah, need to tidy it up then. Now I know exactly where everything is (It is a bit cleaned up as we speak though) Last option ... the spare room. Check! After moving the desk upstairs it did get a bit crowded. Went shopping for some cabinets. Assembled the legs to make it more firm. (This design has already been changed, improved and lowered) Firm enough for now. Approved! First thing to test ... mainboard layout And off course sitting behind it after a long day. This weekend more about the to be used hardware and watercooling.
Here a first look on the hardware and watercooling to be used. Sorry for the amount of photos, because the prototype got here later then expected I had some time to do all this in front First the package from Highflow.nl In love... And 2 pumps from a previous project. Fillports for the 'Firewall' and a tube test sample. And more tube. A flowmeter I can't live without anymore Thanks Freddy! The package from Cooler Master. 1500W dual rail! And the fans with red lighting. Thanks Marco en Ruud! Quite some extension cables going into a pc this size. BitFenix wanted to help me out on this. And did a small order from Highflow, had a small idea I'm satisfied. Thanks Lester!! Also an incredible package from Corsair. Back when I had all time in the world Ordered 3 extra, not for performance, for the looks. Thanks Gareth! And some extra products I ordered. The first prototype RF RGB ready-to-go LED-kit for the desk And off course a socket. Which I made smaller to fit inside the desk. Raid card with external ports. Works perfectly in a 'desk' build, no cables in sight. And some extra accessories cause of cable length/management. Example.
Which ram sets did you get from Corsair? EDIT: Nevermind. I just realized the pics are clickable & linked to larger images.
We've been really busy with the final design the last 4 weeks again. The last week I've been busy with this particular build too. Bit of a weird buildlog for me too cause some photos are already here for months Also because I decided to do the dual-pc-build a few weeks ago. I completely understand some people want to see some desk photos but first have to show the hardware cause they will be in the next photos with the desk too. This week there will be multiple updates, already got 100+ pics waiting of the desk So first a last hardware post, then some first 'fails' in the desk and some build/block mounting pics. Asus package. Love the size. Somehow those aircoolers got something... Thanks a lot Asus Benelux and specially Rogier! Lamptron package. Also for next 're-builds' Comes out handy with the Bitfenix extension cables. Was going to use 2 controllers but because I'm using 2 pc's it will now be one. Thanks Lamptron! And the ultra package EKWB. Still like acrylic most. But have to say these look awesome! Huge! Pump tops. All unpacked. Mounting the pumps. Changing for stainless steel bolts. Test cause I was (back then) bored Package that arrived later. This build will have 4 EKWB reservoirs since our own reservoir isn't ready yet. And extra fittings for the reservoirs and 2nd pc. All together. Gregor ... again ... your awesome! And from Cooler Master for the 2nd pc. Love these PSU's! Also thanks again a lot Marco and Ruud! Corsair also insisted on doing something extra. I can work with this For the 2nd pc. Already have a cool plan for the speakers. Don't have much to compare, used a Cambridge 4.1 set for over 10 years and have a Bose 2.0 set now. I can say the sound is WAY better, and twice more volume Corsair also thanks enormously!! On to the pics of the desk and block mounting!

Get Your Creep On
Resident Evil: Afterlife could be fun, while Leaves of Grass is all over the place
Creepy Crawlies. Claire (Ali Larter) and Alice (Milla Jovovich) do their best to fight off hoards of quasi-humans infected with the T-virus in Resident Evil: Afterlife. |
You're slowly stalking down the darkened hallway of a baroque mansion, only the shuffle of your footsteps breaking the thick silence, until that odd creak of indeterminate origin causes you to stop and focus on what you can't see beyond the drab, dingy walls. Your senses are attuned as the survival instinct winds every nerve in your body tighter than the cables of a suspension bridge.
But it's not until you furtively turn the corner into a moonlit, dusty, reading room that you hear the dry moans and see your friend and team member lying on the floor, chest torn open, a frozen look of abject terror locked in his unseeing eyes as you stare into the rictus maw that still spews his last drops of blood. Then you hear the wet sounds of chewing.
Someone (or something) is bent over him, rending hunks of flesh and glistening organs with its mottled, decaying hands. Pausing as it senses your presence, you raise your S.T.A.R.S. issued .45 automatic as the thing slowly turns to you revealing its blood-soaked, desiccated visage and sunken dead eyes that widen reflexively at the recognition of fresh meat. As it rises to attack, you take aim and feel the gun reassuringly kick as you unload two rounds into its face, watching with relief as the bullets blow the undead hell-spawns skull into a blossom of bloody chunks that paints the walls in sticky grue.
In the silence after the explosion of gunfire, you feel the tendrils of dread tickling the back of your neck as you begin to hear more moans in the distance -- and then the one right behind you.
Resident Evil was a goddamn scary game. Pop it in late at night, turn off the lights, turn up the surround sound and let the tension of sneaking around the abandoned mansion that once housed the Umbrella Corporation's secret, and terrible, human tests of the T-virus take hold. It was a masterpiece of creepy atmosphere, bizarre dystopia-tinged storylines, opaque puzzles and was loaded with ever more mutated and threatening abominations that lusted to kill you in increasingly gruesome ways.
The movies have never been like this. The best of them, the original Paul W.S. Anderson written and directed, Resident Evil, was still little more than a loose assemblage of the first two games' storylines and settings (the mansion, Umbrella's underground facility, Raccoon City) combined with some of the creatures and visual nods to the games look.
But Anderson added a new protagonist, Alice (Milla Jovovich), and changed the tone from eerie atmosphere to slickly derivative action. As the series progressed (under different directors), it went its own way from the games, getting dumber and more nonsensical with each entry -- a feat, considering how convoluted the games' mythology is.
With the fourth installment, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Anderson has returned to the director's chair and the result is the best Resident Evil film since the highly mediocre first. Is that praise? I don't even know, anymore.
It opens well as the T-virus powered Alice (Jovovich) -- utilizing clones of herself introduced in the third film -- assaults the Tokyo base of Umbrella Corporation in order to kill Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), the evil head of the multinational, biotech firm. Wesker escapes but Alice is right on his tail. Unfortunately Wesker injects Alice with an antidote to the T-virus -- a virus which normally turns its victims into zombies or worse, but which in Alice has augmented her general lethalness with some superhuman powers, like laying everything to waste with nothing but a steely stare -- though the antidote seems to have no effect on her knack for near invincibility. The chopper goes down in a fireball, which she, of course, survives.
Jump forward a few months and Alice is flying to Alaska to find "Arcadia," a last bastion of the uninfected (again introduced at the end of the third film). When she arrives she finds only a field of aircraft, and abandoned helicopter on the beach and the amnesiac Claire Redfield (Ali Larter), Alice's friend from ... just see the third movie.
Reunited, they fly back down the coast and discover a small group of survivors holed up inside a Los Angeles prison that's surrounded by hordes of undead. Alice, newly in touch with her humanity plans to break them out and lead them to Arcadia, and salvation.
Anderson hasn't really changed and all his strengths and weaknesses are on display here; mostly the weaknesses.
Hopping from Japan to Alaska to L.A., you get the sense that he thinks keeping the story moving means literally traveling from one place to the next to gloss over the linear, mechanized narrative (which could be charitably described as a nod to the linearity of video game levels themselves, I suppose).
While he has an eye for slick-shot composition, Anderson relies (as always) too heavily on heads up-style graphical flourishes to describe locations, situations or evil eyes in the sky that seem to dog Alice's every move from some Umbrella-owned satellite. Speaking of Alice, she starts the film documenting her search for Arcadia with a video camera in a confessional style, an annoying device for lazy exposition that consistently brought the narrative to a halt (and which gets dropped as soon as its usefulness is outlived).
While Anderson stages the action fairly well, and manages a sense of scope (particularly in the opening assault sequence which was the film's best set piece) he drowns his visual aesthetic in highly derivative tropes, a liberal mixture of The Matrix -- no Paul, we've never seen "bullet time" before -- Silent Hill games and nods to its own source iconography (the crows and undead dogs, among others).
And of course, since it's in 3D, he throws everything from bullets to skull fragments to sunglasses directly at the camera, while plot holes you can drive a freight train through culminate in a non-ending ending that makes it clear the filmmakers will milk this franchise of every last drop of viability before it shuffles off like a zombie into straight-to-DVD oblivion.
Performances are variable in quality. Jovovich is fine in every sense of the word, and I like the character of Alice -- one of the few bankable and convincing female asskickers in mainstream films. She lets a little bit of her personality seep through (the most noticeable effect of the T-virus antidote), and was not as disappointingly stoic and one dimensional as in much of the last two films.
Ali Larter seemed to be sleep walking through this, while the usually decent Kim Coates (of Silent Hill, no less) chews scenery as the cartoonishly detestable Bennett, a joke character aimed at Hollywood producers.
Wentworth Miller was solid as Chris, an incarcerated soldier who holds the key to escape from the prison, while Shawn Roberts as Wesker pulls off the amazing feat of being a real human who looks like he was rendered with state of the art CG. His quasi-Agent Smith delivery (another seeming nod to The Matrix) is actually just Roberts doing a dead on impersonation of the Wesker from the video games. Unfortunately, it's funny, since the voice acting in the games is notoriously bad.
This might sound like a long list of dissatisfaction (and the fact is this isn't a particularly good film), but Resident Evil: Afterlife is relatively fun if you don't think about it too deeply, and Anderson does generate some moments of tension and visual glory (both of which occur during the fairly effective prison shower attack). The cast seems to be having fun, which goes a long way after the film's disjointed, near tepid first act. Overall this outing is an improvement, particularly over the dull and vapid third film, but your level of enjoyment here probably rides on the heights of your expectations.
The game is always better. We used to say that about books.
Smoking Grass
Writer/director and Tulsa native Tim Blake Nelson has crafted a small, odd, jumbled film with his philosophically tinged, THC fueled, Leaves of Grass.
Edward Norton plays dual roles as identical twins Bill and Brady Kincaid. Bill is an Ivy League star at Brown University who is lured back to his rural roots in the Oklahoma backwoods by his brother Brady, a large scale pot grower who needs to enlist Bill as an alibi in a crime he's planned. Bill's been gone for years, being estranged from the eccentric side of the family, so Brady fakes his own death to get Bill to come home for the funeral.
Of course, Bill is none too happy to have been tricked, but he gets sucked in by Brady's desperation -- he's in debt to a ruthless drug kingpin (Richard Dreyfuss) -- and also the lyrical charms of his old childhood friend, Janet (Keri Russell), and Bill winds up taking part in Brady's scheme, despite his better judgment. That's when things get ugly.
The centerpiece of Leaves of Grass is Norton's performance and he does a wonderful job of delineating the personalities of Bill and Brady, while meticulously choreographing his delivery to seamlessly interact with himself. That said, those personalities are written stereotypically, particularly in how Brady embodies all the most obvious traits of a redneck pot grower (i.e. dumb as dirt until it comes to the science of hydroponics).
Keri Russell is waifish and whip-smart as Janet, and her arc in the film with Bill was the most enjoyable, while Susan Sarandon is predictably world-weary as the brothers flinty and distant mother. Tim Blake Nelson even shows up as Brady's best friend, Rick.
Nelson has crafted a narrative that has a lackadaisical charm, embodied in the twin performances by the empathetic and compulsively watchable Norton; a mélange of philosophical navel-gazing concerning God and free will, family drama, romance, stoner-comedy and crime film. Taken in parts they can be clever, sweet, fitfully funny, dramatic or shocking.
But taken as a whole, the film is tonally jarring and feels unformed, like a conglomeration of ideas that never fully find their through line.
Leaves of Grass owes an obvious debt to the sensibilities of the Coen Brothers, particularly with its mix of sometimes disparate genres, oddball characters, surprising violence and regional eccentricities. While that has its charms the film never assembles them into something as polished or believable as the Coen's best work.
As a stony, affectionately antagonistic treatise on the place of his birth, though, Nelson has crafted an ode to its place in his heart and it's hard not to respect that.

Well you around the shower I've booked Ralph Peters for you for the after the show show of course he won't be involved but he was yeah.
-- was I had.
Sure but I don't.
He hasn't -- damp.
-- -- it was a baby shower.
No matter what is Ralph Peters really there he's -- on here and I -- what are you doing.
I'm sitting in the studio while awaiting the talk -- -- -- personal.
I was not actually in the shower.
Thank you very much I'm okay I'm just saying that flat out that has a great relief actually thank you think.
Hey Ralph what do you make you can we talk to you about some things that are in the news right now what do you make sure -- yesterday we discover.
That apparently the Iran eons provoked us with an act of war by shoot it one of our drones away from.
It happened five days before the election we find out two days after the election -- -- is just a coincidence that's not political as -- -- sure it's a coincidence just a way to terrorist attack him in Gaza just happened to be on ninth the anniversary of 9/11 coincidence I mean this this is.
Hope President Obama at the beginning his first term said it would be the most open administration history.
And with -- mainstream media is collusion this guy was reelected largely.
-- cover -- are certainly his electoral chances were enhanced by.
Be incredibly.
Embarrassing conspiracy.
Or media to cover up the truth about Ben Ghazi.
And now we know the administration itself.
He had.
This act of war against an American aircraft on November 1 and I -- some of the troubles me about this.
It's like our military is rightfully can lawfully subservient to its political masters that's way it works and but you don't want to politicize.
The military.
And I'm very concerned by the fact that.
We heard nothing from our military about this.
And the idea you know that there was all because -- mission was classified.
Drone the -- details made in class why we've goes up the air and -- all the time.
When somebody opens fire on -- US military or intelligence asset.
That is news the American people need to know and as I've said Brian -- this administration would have tried to cover up Pearl Harbor could just lot of secrecy.
And it's really -- -- really hurts our republic apart from all the partisan partisan politics.
When it's an administration of cover -- from fast and furious to this drone known since.
Get -- drone.
It's something to be genuinely concerned about my and I don't go in -- for hysterics.
Yeah but beyond concerned -- some curious is happening there are these acts of war are things that are clearly aggressive.
Maneuvers by other countries did the killing of our ambassador and three other Americans of the shooting down our attempts to shoot at our.
Our -- and what is our response is almost as though since Afghanistan and Iran.
We don't think bit -- having a military response what what do we do about this how only answering these thing.
It's well certainly in the case of the drones.
Attack specifically the correct response would be to set up an aerial ambush wait.
For the arranged to do this again.
And -- their planes out of the sky if they -- -- -- international airspace.
Maybe it will happen I doubt it because this administration.
Desperately wants to renew negotiations.
With Iran over Iranian nuclear.
And that the pursuit thereof.
And then I don't think they're gonna do anything.
To alienate Iran and Iran knows -- think they have a pretty good sense of us pretty good -- feel for how we react and especially the Obama administration reacts.
So they want to negotiate right now obviously want to draw things out sanctions are biting.
But the way I think when the negotiations.
Is agreed has bullies -- a tough stance make us begged and negotiate.
Then they'll draw the negotiations for a -- -- for four more years -- -- get four more years closer to nukes so -- You -- -- clumsy a lot of things there's always a danger of while miscalculation on both sides.
But they are very very good at playing on our political needs -- -- just casket exit question we had a Geraldo on about an hour ago during our live telecast and he said that he felt that the Iran -- You know they see the drone they're flying up in the airplanes date on purpose.
Missed -- they took some shots at it but they missed it do you -- -- that you know just to send us a warning.
Well woman I love corolla.
Two I wish I agree that good a mustache -- Three now he got this wrong.
It once the highest levels in Iran it would've been the highest levels.
Decided to fire on -- US drone an international airspace.
They would want to knock it down ten minutes if they would have figured this is no pilot -- to drone they can get away -- it send a strong message.
They sent up an old Russian built aircraft and knock off of -- can.
That the Russians still -- to maintain things the Russians do maintenance with sledgehammers.
-- pilots don't get good air to air training.
I mean they're not remotely capable compared our -- true and it looks to me like they didn't properly calibrate the nose -- -- that's inside baseball stuff.
We put it all together old airplane.
No training in air -- air combat poor pilots and on calibrated -- They made two passes they shot up their basic -- of ammunition.
And they couldn't hit the drove our pilots wouldn't have missed they missed and I'm sure a lot a lot of -- and a chain of command.
Got their butts chewed out because for the Iranians it's an embarrassment that he they couldn't hit a slow moving -- That's such a good point -- that's why would call -- up and that's what you show up Ralph Peters thank you very much for joining us loves you as well have a great weekend.
Tennis not.
What he does is he sure is the most heat -- house -- that wow that's like his discrete cute and we should probably.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- since world.
Good yeah.

One of the best ways to build technology that truly fits into people's lives is to observe people using your technology. At my job, I frequently set up usability tests, so that we can observe people using the interfaces we have designed. It has become easier and easier to run these studies, thanks to tools like GoToMeeting, or Morae, however, one of the most challenging tests to set up are tests on mobile devices. You start out with many of the normal tasks to conduct web site usability tests: email campaigning, scheduling participants, coordinating conference rooms, technical set up… but then you have the additional challenges of setting up multiple webcam feeds, trying to stream live video into the next room, hosting a remote observation room, and keeping your eye on stakeholder questions while moderating the test with the participant.
We know how powerful and inspiring it is for stakeholders and developers to watch sessions live, while you are conducting the tests with participants. But watching mobile testing live? While in the field? My sister-in-law inspired me to believe this is possible because she once live streamed herself running the Okinawah Marathon in Japan. It was almost like being there with her…the kind of experience you want your development teams to have, so they can understand the context your users are in…
So how do you run a mobile usability test in front of a live studio audience? Here are a few tips I picked up from watching a lot of 30 Rock (NBC's Comedy Series, created by Tina Fey, about putting on a late night talk show). The following are a few thoughts you can use to emulate "Liz Lemon" traits:
1. Speak your mind.
When things are getting tough, go to your boss and be vocal about it. They are never going to know what you are struggling with unless you TELL THEM. Just tell them the whole story, and they will help you find a solution… or at least tell you not to worry about it.
2. Keep track of the details.
Keep lists of to dos. Make checklists for repeat tasks. Double check your work. Test. test. test. Rehearse like crazy. Nail your opening script. Be on time. Do everything in your power to cover the details. You might start to feel hopeless, if you are covering all your bases, but not scoring any runs… if you know what I mean. But try not to worry about that. Just try not to drop any balls.
3. Stay focused on your work.
Many people will try to tell you how to run your test. This can be distracting if you are not staying focused on the test you crafted. They are great at offering their opinion on the participants you've brought in, the scenarios you wrote, and giving their suggestions of what you should have done differently. Everyone has an opinion, and while it shows that they care about the research, they are almost always wrong. For example, people who complain about the people you recruited wouldn't know the first step in finding the right people… most of them wouldn't even know how to describe who the "right" people are! Just stay focused on you… you need all the self confidence you can muster up for this "show" to go off well.
4. Shake off the mistakes.
You can't get held up with the mistakes you make. You might forget to record the audio properly, or ask that extra question your stakeholders asked you to put into the script last minute. Your computer might go to sleep, leaving your observers with nothing but a blank screen. Just shake it off… take a deep breath, and ground yourself. Focus on what the participant is saying, and follow their lead.
5. Don't sweat the stress induced forehead acne.
Your adrenaline will kick in once you get doing during your tests. Then, all of a sudden you will lightly brush your hand across your forehead to discover a sore little bump, freshly arisen, out of nowhere. Even if you swear to be calm, and not sweat the small stuff the week you are testing, your adrenaline will kick in, producing stress hormones that create break outs on your face. Don't pick at it, just let it run its course. Your body needs to heal.
Just remember, running a usability test in front of a live stakeholder audience may be stressful, but it is rewarding. Watch 30 Rock, and pick up some tips.
