Aquatics image caption
Swimming is one of the most popular sports in world. Unlike other sports, swimming is a life skill that is taught, first, to ensure safety and, secondly, for sports and competition purposes. Aquatics covers a great variety of swimming skills, from short sprints to longer events and relays. And the Aquatics coaching guide, see below, gives coaches advice and approaches to successfully coach swimmers of all abilities, from strong, fast competitors to swimmers who find it hard to swim at all.

ND women rout Rutgers behind Diggins 15 points
Click here to view in a gallery.
Notre Dame forward Natalie Achonwa, right, shoots over Rutgers guard Erica Wheeler during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game on Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013, in South Bend, Ind. (AP Photo/Joe Raymond)
While Coach Muffet McGraw surely will miss her All-American senior point guard next year, she can take solace in the promise shown Sunday by freshman guard Jewell Lloyd in a 71-46 win over Rutgers.
Diggins scored 15 points to lead No. 2 Notre Dame, despite playing limited minutes. McGraw benched her with 8:55 left in the first half after Diggins was whistled with a technical foul after jumping up and down in protest of a foul called against her.
�With Skylar on the bench, we were able to maintain and build on our lead, and that�s really important for us. I thought Jewell stepped up during that time,� McGraw said.
Lloyd, playing in only her third Big East game, finished with 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field, and she was 2-of-2 from 3-point range.
�I knew we had to stay composed,� Lloyd said. �We couldn�t freak out. I think we just stayed within the offense. We knew we had to get it going somehow but we weren�t scared of anything, really.�
Rutgers managed only one basket during Diggins� rest.
�I thought (Notre Dame�s defense) did a great job, but we�re just poor, we really are,� Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer said. �Diggins, for her to go out like that and we couldn�t score. We didn�t do very well. We didn�t make good decisions.�
The Irish (14-1, 3-0) won their sixth conference home opener in the past seven seasons, and picked up their ninth consecutive win, coming off a 75-71 overtime victory at South Florida Tuesday night.
Erica Wheeler scored 17 points to lead Rutgers (9-7, 0-3), which is off to its worst start ever in the Big East since joining the conference in 1995.
The Irish built much of their lead with three big spurts, two of them in the first half. First came a 13-4 run over a roughly four-minute span midway through the half, in which they stretched their lead to 21-10. The spurt included 3�s by Diggins and Jewell Lloyd, and a 3-point play by Diggins after she was fouled on a fastbreak layup.
Notre Dame closed the final 3:34 of the first half on a 9-1 run, thanks to two jumpers and a layup by Lloyd. That run stretched their lead to 20, giving them a 37-17 lead at the break. Notre Dame then opened the second half with an 11-3 run over the first 4:14.
The Irish dominated inside, outscoring Rutgers 40-10 in the paint. Irish forwards Natalie Achonwa and Ariel Braker scored 11 and 10 points, respectively, and each pulled down six rebounds.
Rutgers was unable to take advantage of Diggins� down time in the first half, hitting only one field goal over that time. The Irish, on the other hand, did capitalize on frequent fouls committed by Rutgers.
Monique Oliver, Copper and Chelsey Lee each picked up two fouls within the first six minutes of the game for Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights committed 11 fouls in the first half, and the Irish hit all nine free throws in the half.

An excellent resource for this is "Digital Prepress for Comic Books" by Kevin Tinsley. Page 84 of my edition lists many suitable selections for people of color such as C20M50Y100, where "C" is cyan, "M" is magenta, and "Y" is yellow. Other selections are C10M40Y70, and C10M35Y40.
The problem is that if, and it's a large if, you intend to print your work you should consider the paper stock, the inks, and the printing press, lithography, roto-gravure, or some other process. All of these factors WILL affect the finished product!
Good Luck

I thought that Karl Rove and W had assured us that Mexicans are culturally conservative and therefore we should import them by the millions. On the bright side, the ruling should help suppress the Mexican birth rate.
Homosexual marriages coming to a world in which you live, except in Iran.
Next thing you know it will catch on in the ME.
Indeed, #1: "Family values don´t stop at the Rio Grande River."
I have to admit this is a surprise. Mostly Catholic Mexico going for same sex marriage?What´s next? Abortion on demand?Looks like Mexico is the next country to get Californicated.
I want to see billboards in Mexico advertising Mexican gay honeymoons erected next to churches.
$6, it wasn´t necesarily "Catholic" Mexico that made this ruling, but the Mexican Supreme Court, which legalized gay pseudomarriage, like abortion, in the face of huge disapproval by the people of Mexico.It´s the legacy of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the party that held power in Mexico--—under a succession of names—--for 71 years. The PRI is a member of the Socialist International, as is the rival Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), making Mexico a a nation whose two major parties belong to the same international socialist movement.

Glasses with the 720 might be interesting, also intersting that onlive is listed as possible acquisition.
They also think the ps4 will double as a google tv, so tighter integration with google and sony, maybe a better browser? ^_^ or maybe another tax scam by sony to sell it as a tv box, then remove the tv box so they are left with a console in 2 years.

Not sure how much real info in this leak if its come from a report thats nearly 2 years old. A lot could have changed. It does give an indication of what direction they want it to take though and if they pull it off it sounds quite decent.
Especially that pricing, I'd be amazed if they manage to stick to that, bargain of the decade.

Awesome ProcessorPros: -Very Fast Cons: -No cooler included (but most people are using water cooling these days anyways) Other Thoughts: Upgraded my system from my 4 core Intel Extreme Core and am very please with the performance boost. I don't game that much these days but everything is running smooth with no issue. I decided to go with the extra cores and an X79 MOBO because I am currently running a 2 card SLI system and may jump onto the 3 way SLI sometime in the future. I will be overclocking it in the near future when my CPU water cooler comes in. Currently using the Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 CPU cooler and its is ridiculously too big and covers too much on my mobo.

Awesome ProcessorPros: FAST! 6 cores, very overclock-able. Stable on air at 4.2GHz. Cons: Cost...as usual but not enough to take an "egg" from the rating. Did you find this review helpful? |
18 months and still flyingPros: Have had this processor since it's release. Running OC at 4Ghz with no issues. Most software now utilizes the 12 threads. With an SSD I get from post to desktop in 12 seconds. This processor screams... Cons: Never fast enough... but that's a technology issue... This processor has NO cons... Other Thoughts: Intel i7 3930K @ 4Ghz 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Update on review (original owner since release date)Pros: I have had this processor since release running OC 24/7 at 4.5-4.8 GHz. Once I got it dialed in I had no blue screens or freezes or issues at all. My computer has literally worked perfectly since it was set up. I have been overclocking for over 10 years now and this is the easiest to OC and best performing processor I have ever dealt with. Cons: Never could get it to run stable with a high memory OC. It runs rock solid at 1600, but once I get up around 1800ish it starts to act strange and I have to throw more voltage at it than I am comfortable with. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

Good BuyPros: Powerful Processor for the cost. No issues with any games yet. Windows 7 Idle at .2% usage. Cons: Not many games utilize hyperthreading technology Other Thoughts: ASRock X79 Extreme6 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Definition of phoneme in English
Syllabification: (pho·neme)
Pronunciation: /ˈfōnēm/
Translate phoneme | into Italian
Phonetics- any of the perceptually distinct units of sound in a specified language that distinguish one word from another, for example p, b, d, and t in the English words pad, pat, bad, and bat. Compare with allophone1.
late 19th century: from French phonème, from Greek phōnēma 'sound, speech', from phōnein 'speak'
A speech sound. In speech, as in writing, we express ourselves using words. In writing, each word is made up of letters, and in speech, a word is made up of a series of phonemes. There are 44 phonemes in standard modern English, evenly divided between vowels and consonants. The phonemes in a word do not correspond to the letters with which we write it. For example, the word catch contains five letters: c – a – t – c – h, but only three sounds: c – a – tch.

Qantas grounded its Airbus A380s because of problems with its Rolls Royce engines, the engine pictured above, which is featured at the AVEX International Air Show and is manufactured by a joint venture between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, is the other option available to airlines when they place their orders for the jumbo jet. It is common practice for airplane manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing to enlist several different companies to design an engine for a new airplane, as the manufacturers want to ensure that engine development will not hold up delivery of the aircraft, as advancements in engine technologies can hit speed bumps, just like any other industry that engages in pioneering thinking. In the end, airlines have several different engines from which to choose, and that decision is generally based on performance, efficiency and how well the engine interfaces with the aircraft. Read more on the details of the A380 engines in this piece from the Wall Street Journal.

The jumbo jet is fitted with engines from Engine Alliance, a joint venture between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney. The four day event, staged every two years, focuses on the African and Middle East region's aviation sector.

My two love nothing more than doing craft work. The promise of glue and doing some sticking is a great bribe incentive when out shopping etc! With Buster being allergic to chocolate we try to make Easter about more than just eggs although we aren't particularly religious (although if you listened to my two you might think differently!).
We were very lucky to be sent some products from Asda that helped make easter special. First up we got a kit for decorating eggs, bunnies and flowers this was a great hit and kept my two quiet and happy for a long time, the glitter glue was a great touch as glitter is something that is seldom allowed in this house. We also received an easter hunt kit and this used numbers and not eggs which suited us. I hid the numbers 1-6 around the house and used the arrows to point Buster and K around the house . They carried their little bags and ran around finding the numbers and adding each one to the bag before running to the next one. Once all 6 numbers were found the arrows pointed to underneath the puppet theatre where their bags (also supplied by Asda) were hiding with sweets inside.
Mr R has also bought a craft kit from Asda so Easter Sunday was spent playing and making paper bag puppets and eating sweets and chocolate in k's case before going to my mum and dads for dinner x
We were sent a craft kit, treasure hunt set and two easter egg bags for the purpose of this review all opinions expressed are my own.

I'm quite content with it. Other than having to learn a couple of things, it's been great all together. My games run nicely, drivers installed without issue, and joined WCG today and running BOINC on my Win8.
I am one of those 4 million except the only thing I don't like about it is my wireless adapter's drivers do not work properly on windows 8 other than that it is refreshing and a fresh experience.
Actually it was known before the OP http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/10/4-million-windows-8-upgrades-in-less-than-a-week/
Let's see, I get Hyper-V support, HEASLR memory protection as well as storage pooling and thin provisioning capabilities. Yeah, nah. I'll stick with my Windows 8 upgrade Companies do not purchase upgrade licenses. They purchase Enterprise licenses in bulk. All 4 million upgrade licenses were purchased by individuals. I don't know how many times it's been clarified in this thread. These. Are. Upgrade. Licenses.
Well the drivers install but when I connect to my wifi I get a BOSD everytime so it never connects to my wifi
Well it works well. Still needs to be polished, had some glitches. But there is no WOW like I had with W7. It's just little under the hood and Metro, but its cheap and that is GOOD...
If it's upgrades its a great number. I'm sure Ford or trickson will come and tell us how the number is wrong. EDIT: And people speaking about not seeing people liking it.. That is stupid. Even if you found thousands of people who do not like it they are still a drop in the ocean.
Sorry, I can't spend all my time surfing news sites because I have to spend half my time moderating the posts from you jackwagons. Since I use the desktop in 8 there is no WOW at all. It's just like 7 (with a few differences both nice and not so nice). The last time I had a WOW moment was when I had to load an original CD of XP (pre-service packs) on a computer and after 4 million updates and reboots to get to SP3 I thought, "WOW this sucks!" lol
Looks like you posted your comment in the wrong thread, since it belongs on an Apple-related one (even the term you used refers to Apple's sheep). Nobody buys an OS to "show it off" like they do their new shiny phones, which is what your post is implying. Also nobody in their right mind would even want to think about re-installing everything on a new OS, let alone do it. What a muppet...
Yeah just what i was thinking.. I bet Win 7 would of sold as many or even more if people could of got it for $14.. I see no reason to opt for Win8 i have no use for it so even for $14 is a waste of money to me. Cheap trick to make it a great seller.. All because they can afford to do so don't make it worth buying.
I have bought Windows 8 (well Dreamspark premium) a few weeks before it's released but I've never used it
Giving a product away, or dirt cheap, is a great way to get "word of mouth" promotion going. This is not a MS thing. Look at what Notch did with Minecraft when it was still in beta form. As with all software, there are issues to be ironed out and tweaks to be made by the devs, but Win 8 is by no means bad. Is it worth $15 bucks to get it? For me yes. For others maybe not. We will, however, see updates and changes to it in the near future that may win over more folks ... just like all the other OS releases by all the OS companies. There will always be stalwarts that refuse to change, and to them I say, "good for you". If what you have is all that you need or want, then stay with what you have. It's served you well in the past and will most likely hold you over for a long time to come. For those that like to play with new stuff, even if it means some growing pains, then go for it. This is TPU. If you're running a rig with a 10 year old GPU we'll still try to help you. Sure, you'll get some crap, but don't take it personally. Just part of playing on the internet ....
That's a good point. I remember Windows 7 costing a bit when it came out. It still does. Maybe MS knew they had something with Windows 7. Are they not so sure about Windows 8? I fail to understand why MS would have a touchscreen gui enabled by default on a desktop OS. I could see 8 being accepted a lot quicker had the metro/startmenu just been an application or feature that could be enabled. I'd never use it and it sounds like most people hate it.
I wonder how many of these are SOLD AND INSTALLED TODAY AND USED TODAY - or how many are OEM sales just sitting as part of corporate contracts... to be installed "whenever" or with "downgrade rights".
Oh my god... Read the thread, man. These are Upgrade licenses only. There are no OEM licenses in this. None just sitting on store shelves. Sigh.
I don't think that most people hate it, they just don't have any real use for the Metro UI at the desktop level. There is, however, a lot of new All-In-One (AIO) desktops that are coming out with touch screens. This would not interest any tech enthusiast, but how are these looking to the average home user who does little else than Facebook or getting weather/news/etc.? Watch for touch screen controls on a small tablet that comes with you big LCD TV soon.
it would of been easier if MS gave an option to select Aero GUI and a very detailed explaination of the Metro GUI, how to enable and disable it even. I see this fine for touch but non touch machines which are majority who own a PC its not really needed infact interferes with Business and Power Users.
I have a few customers with all-in-ones (I repair A LOT of them) and I've asked how they like it. They think it was neat when they first got it but within a few weeks they were back to a mouse and keyboard and never used the touchscreen anymore. They say their arms got tired. I agree 100% after using one for a few minutes. I've also serviced POS systems with touch screens and always connect a mouse and keyboard for servicing. Touchscreens have very limited use in a home or office environment.
thats where mobile market comes into play but honestly a PC still can have way more muscle than any laptop can because space restriction isnt as limited same with thermal loads. in a laptop those thermals have to be at a certain point because then they overheat. Other drawback is the battery, yes Li-ion batteries are the newest consumer tech (Military have been using Li-ion batteries for sometime) as in the 90s it was Ni-Cad, difference is the weight of the battery itself. Touch interfaces are nice for laptops and cell phones. where the tablet/ipad fits in, id be afraid to drop one compared to a phone or laptop.
Lets see i have a start button, no stupid Metro bullshit and i don't have to have a touchscreen monitor to use this OS properly, yeah, nah ill stick with windows 7. 8 has its good points, but over all it has to many bad points >Windows 8: It's Almost Not Terrible - YouTube CNET Top 5 - Reasons not to upgrade to Windows 8 -...

Leave The Badge, Take The Ticket
Aug. 27: A suspended part-time cop tried to pass himself off as a boy in blue when a working Tinley Park officer stopped him last month.
The 49-year-old Tinley Park man was stopped at about 10:50 a.m. after a cop noticed he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, police. During a conversation with police, the driver said he was a Phoenix, IL, police officer. The man was unable to show proof that he was officer so Tinley Park police decided to check out his story.
A call with the Phoenix police chief confirmed that the driver, who had been a part-time officer, was suspended more than a year ago and never returned to work, police said. The driver consented to a search of his vehicle, which turned up a Phoenix police badge and an expired police ID in a bag in the passenger seat, police said. He told police he wasn't thinking straight and didn't know why he lied.
Tinley Park police cited the driver for not wearing a seatbelt and took the badge and identification before releasing the driver. Phoenix's police chief said he wouldn't press charges and just wanted the badge returned.

Aug. 26: A grocery store manager had a run of bad luck when an alleged thief decided to turn her car into a weapon.
Michelle D. Matthews, 40, of the 9700 block of South Charles Avenue, Chicago, is accused of striking a manager at Pete's Market, 3720 W. 95th Street, with her car, Evergreen Park policesaid. She was charged with felony aggravated battery and misdemeanor retail theft.
Matthews left the store with $50.01 worth of groceries she hadn't paid for when the manager followed her out to her car, police said. The driver then fled the scene after striking the man. A customer noticed that Matthews had placed a dozen items into her cart and walked out of the store at about 4 p.m., police said. When the customer told store staff, the manager chased down Matthews in time to see her put the groceries in the trunk of her car.
The manager didn't appear to be seriously hurt, police said. He had to push himself off the car's hood at one point during the incident. Cops tracked Matthews down near the intersection of 87th and Rockwell streets a short time later, police said. Officers found the groceries in the car she was driving.
Bail was set at $50,000 for the Chicago woman. She is due on Sept. 17 in Bridgeview court.

And Then One of Them Was Busted For Weed ...
Aug. 17: Two 19-year-old Oak Forest men who wanted to have some fun with a new cap gun ended up in trouble with the law.
The two men told Orland Park police they didn't intend to scare anyone and thought it was "harmless fun" when one of them got out of their Lincoln and pointed a fake gun at grandparents in the car behind them.
Both pranksters were ticketed for causing a disturbance, police said. Orland Park cops received a complaint about the fake gun incident about at about 8:24 p.m. at the intersection of Humphrey Drive and 143rd Street, police said. An older couple from Oak Lawn, who had their three grandchildren in the backseat, said the cap gun make a loud popping sound when the man pulled the trigger. The "gunman" then ran back to the Lincoln, which drove away.
The grandchildren became frightened and feared that the men were out to get them, the Oak Lawn couple told police. An officer found the Lincoln in the 7900 block of Teton Road and tracked down the registered owner, who said it was currently in her son's possession. Another officer came across the two men as they were walking down Teton Drive. One man admitted to firing off the cap gun while the other said he drove the Lincoln. At the same time, police searched the car and found a small amount of a substance that tested positive for marijuana.
The men were issued municipal violations for disorderly conduct. One also received a violation for possessing marijuana.

This is a group for anyone who is interested in strategy gaming in its many face to face forms. This would include Miniatures, either Historical or Sci-Fi/Fantasy, strategy oriented boardgames from euro games to historical boardgames, or euro style card games. I started this group so I could meet other gamers in a social atmosphere and local, or close to Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood. Looking forward to gaming with everyone.
Hi There! This is a smaller group of board gamers. We mostly meet in homes and the occasional park. Please feel free to post a meetup if you would like to host, but if you do post, please be sure to include a location in the initial post. I try to host every two months or so, but we're limited to two games at my house, so about 10 players or so. Looking forward to meeting you!
I am a member of a bunch of fun MeetUp groups, but many are far away. This one is to try and round up more local people for my favorite interests. This group is for all of us who live in Concord and beyond and still want to have fun but with a little less driving. The hope is for us to be able to find some local people who like to do whatever it is we like to do or, at the least, meet some cool people in the area. We've got some great local resources out here, and we're well situated for esc …

Game developers today live in a challenging climate: gaming has never been a more crowded space than it is now. In this environment, how do you attract users, differentiate your game from competitors, and still make enough money to keep the lights on? Existing methods of game monetization are starting to get stale. Virtual goods have become a commodity, in-game advertising intrudes on the user experience, and level packs require continuous time investment to create new content. Game developers …
What are the problems that every game developer has? At this point they've almost become a cliche: Acquisition, Retention and Monetization. Every game developer from the solo indie to the mammoth public company needs more players, to keep those players, and to monetize those players. There are literally hundreds of companies that are founded to help developers address these challenges in one way or another. So why is it still so hard? I believe it's an education problem, and I've founded this gr …
Get together for anyone interested in making games or learning how to make games. It's like a game jam, but without the time pressure. Bring a game or and idea for a game and work on it in the company of other people doing the same thing. Everyone works on their own project, and all levels of experience are welcome. We'll have some experienced engineers around to help you if you're new to development, or just want a fresh set of eyes on a thorny problem. Game on!

With rising acquisition costs, the struggle to create innovative gameplay, and a marketplace that couldn't possibly get more crowded, how can mobile game developers differentiate from their competitors? How can you get players to connect with your brand and remain loyal in the face of unprecedented options? The answer may surprising you: doing good. Doing good can mean many things: selling in-game items that support charitable causes, giving consumers a way to donate instead of buying in-game cu …

Kent State Students Celebrate
at FlashFest 2013
FlashFest 2013, an annual Kent State University event for Kent State students featuring performers, food and prizes, was held on Thursday, April 18, at noon on the Student Green.
Four artists performed at this year's FlashFest: Kendrick Lamar, Steve Aoki, Bad Rabbits and 5 & A Dime. The performances began at 6 p.m. in the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center (MAC Center).
"FlashFest serves as an end-of-the-year bash for all students," said Kent State student Kayli Gatts, who is in charge of social media and publicity for the Undergraduate Student Government. "It's a sign that the end of the spring semester is near and summer is coming."
FlashFest also serves as the biggest event for FLASHperks giveaways of the year. FLASHperks awarded four grand prizes at this year's FlashFest, including free tuition for one year, six-months of free rent to Campus Pointe Apartments, a Surly Pugsley bike from Portage Cyclery and free pizza from Domino's for one year. FLASHperks is an incentive program through Kent State that offers students prizes for attending university-sponsored events.
"The FLASHperks team works throughout the year to make sure students are rewarded for their involvement on campus," said Amy Kittle, a Kent State graduate assistant at the Center for Student Involvement. "FlashFest is the biggest event of the year for FLASHperks because we get to award our grand prizes to students who have participated in the many events and activities Kent State has to offer."
Karmaloop's Verge Campus 2013 Spring Tour presented FlashFest 2013 at Kent State. Sponsors of the tour included Karmaloop, Neff Headwear and e Muze.

Republicans need to broaden their coalition in order to have a fighting chance.
Women don't trust anyone in Washington.
Young voters' support for marriage equality doesn't translate into support for abortion.
Conservative women are running nations around the world – so why not here?
As technology moves forward, so too must the way people gather information about public opinion.
The Republican Party needs an 'all of the above' approach to its problems.
The question for most isn't whether or not there should be a line demarcating when abortion should and shouldn't be legal, but where it should be drawn.
Expect the friction between educational attainment, debt, and social mobility to take center stage in the policy conversation this coming year.
The Republican Party can be the party of the future, but it has to figure out how to tell its story.
Don't dismiss Occupiers as unimportant.

Menendez, Robert
The latest news on Menendez, Robert
Do top Democrats have anything to say about Bob Menendez?
Largest New Jersey newspaper says senator should lose coveted chairmanship.
The New Jersey senator allegedly aided the business interests of, and visited prostitutes with, a donor .
It's disturbingly convenient for a lot of people to decide what "facts" really are.
Woman claims she lied about the New Jersey senator, but she may be lying about ever making the allegation.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Robert Menendez's office says he traveled on a plane owned by a Florida physician who is a friend and political donor, but denied that the senator had engaged with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic.
A group of eight senators have proposed a bipartisan bill to address America's immigration challenges.
Consultants say Menendez story has no staying power.
The ones who will be injured most by Senator Menendez's proposals are the consumers and the workers involved in delivering the energy they want.
Over-taxing the oil and gas companies will not help America create more jobs.

Anish Kapoor: Memory is a landmark exhibition by internationally celebrated artist Anish Kapoor and the first in the Deutsche Bank Series at the Guggenheim. Conceived for both the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, Memory "takes up the challenge of working within the very tight restrictions of the Guggenheim spaces," says Assistant Curator of Asian Art, Sandhini Poddar. Speaking of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum, Kapoor states, "This building is one of the great buildings of the 20th century. It's about the process of passage . . . and I wanted to take it on at some level."

The spot, which Centro also produced, focuses on Disneyland's special offerings timed around Halloween--a day that has grown to be extremely popular in Hong Kong. The creepy but colorful fantasy-style advertisement, combining real actors and extensive VFX, brings the spirit of the attraction to life with strange animals and characters inhabiting a beautiful, evocative night. Centro shot the original material, created all the VFX elements and oversaw the editorial.
"The session was a tremendous success," declares Sonnenfeld, who collaborated in real time with the Centro creative team and their Hong Kong Disneyland clients, while they watched the grading take shape in real time. "It's a great example of the way our technology can overcome former barriers such as the great distance between these two facilities."
"It is a significant advantage we have to be able to offer our clients internationally renowned color grading talent such as Stefan Sonnenfeld," says John Chu, General Manager of Centro. "This technology allows Centro to offer the Hong Kong production community access to a worldwide talent pool."
"Hong Kong has an extremely robust film industry and is the center of a great deal of high-end commercial production," Sonnenfeld explains. "Our relationship with Centro puts us in the middle of all that."

Limited Edition Contents:
The Deadly Assassin Outfit - John marston's "deadly assassin" outfit causes your dead eye meter to regenerate at twice the speed. With more dead eye, you have more time to place each shot with total accuracy, making you the deadliest gunslinger in any fight.
The War Horse - There are countless horses to be found in the massive world of red dead redemption, but none is stronger, faster or tougher than the exclusive war horse. Whether storming gang hideouts, exploring the wilderness for hidden treasure, or outrunning the law, the war horse gives gunslingers an advantage in nearly every situation.
The Golden Guns Weapon Pack - The player who wields the exclusive golden guns receives more fame for each kill. The more fame you get, the more in-game side missions become available. So there will be more opportunities to duel, more kidnapped townsfolk to rescue and you can bribe lawmen for less.
The Soundtrack - More details will be revealed about the red dead redemption soundtrack very soon.

Rockstar will be heavily eating into my paycheck these next too months, Episodes this month and Red Dead Redemption next month, I'm hoping to lasso some other players and drag them around the map but I hope you can also play poker with your friends too.
The biggest mistake Rockstar made in GTA IV was disabling minigames like pool and bowling in multiplayer.

I think its highly unlikely RDR will be sub 720p, I think you need to prove this as the case and not the other way around.
I can't prove this to be the case or not, that's the point of my post i am trying to find out. Rockstar make that very difficult when nobody has seen any footage of the ps3 version yet. Only 4 weeks till release. Doesn't that strike anyone else as strange?
I can however prove that the ps3 version of gtaiv was rendered at sub720p.
As read the ps3 is natively rendered sub720p and then upscaled. for me this was noticeable between the 2 versions (i dont own an x360 but have friends that do so yes i have seen and played both). the other thing that bothered me was the poor framerate on the ps3. Hell, even my 5year old pc could run gtaiv better and at higher res!
So, i am trying to find info, one way or the other on whether RDR will get the same poor treatment. If so, preorder cancelled.

Simone, the manager, was amazing. He helped us find our way around to the touristy places, then told us about several amazing restaurants that went above and beyond our hopes for authentic Italian cuisine. He emailed us halfway through our stay to check in and ask if he could help with anything. The room itself was sparse, but it was so cheap and the location was so central we did not care at all. One complaint: a sketchy hot water heater, but we can bathe in the cold so whatever!

City launches all-electric taxi cabs
Yellow cabs just got a whole lot greener.
Six all-electric Nissan LEAF taxi cabs hit the streets Monday, with each car saving drivers $17,500 a year in gas costs, according to TLC Commissioner David Yassky.
The new cars were introduced as part of a pilot program as a way to gauge the possibility of an all electric fleet. More will be on the way in October.
The cabs "will help us determine the best way to seamlessly integrate electric vehicles into the taxi industry's 24/7 business and operational models," Yassky said in a statement.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants a third of the yellow cabs in the city to be electric by 2020 and said the yearlong study is the first step to a cleaner fleet.
"Even though the Taxi of Tomorrow won't be on the road for another six months, we're already looking ahead to the taxi of the day after tomorrow," he said in a statement.

We dedicate this tournament to all the die-hard fans who have supported us through thick and thin," said Sammy.
In turmoilOn the eve of the semifinal, the player who could do with extra motivation is none other than Bolt's good mate, Chris Gayle. The opener is the main man for West Indies but is a bit down following the controversy over the arrest of three British women found partying in his, as well as his team mates', hotel rooms early on Wednesday. It remains to be seen how Gayle responds to the situation. Sammy didn't take the question on the effect the controversy could have on his men. The normally gregarious players looked subdued in their practice session at the P Sara Oval. Gayle himself was restrained. He stuck to his chair and didn't take part in the warm-up football game. After mild stretching, he headed to the nets where he was his natural big-hitting self.
Impact playersOverall, the match will be a battle of the big players. Both Australia and West Indies have relied heavily on their top three batsmen to get them this far. If West Indies is all about Gayle, Australia is all about Shane Watson.Rarely has a player made so much impact on a team's fortunes as Watson. He's been man-of-the-match in four of their five matches. In the one match he failed, against Pakistan, Australia lost heavily. In the league game, West Indies tested Australia to the full. The semifinal is anybody's game.
