Martin Lawrence
started the 21st century off with a bang, starring and executive producing
Big Momma's House
, the story of an FBI agent posing as a corpulent Southern matriarch, which went on to gross more than 100 million dollars, despite universally negative reviews. The success of this film pushed

claims he got his start as a comedian by cheering up his mother, who was forced to support her six children by cashiering in various department stores. He attended Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Landover, MD, dabbling in sports and sticking with comedy, even agreeing to stop acting up in an art class in return for performing his stand-up routine in front of the other students.
Soon after graduating, the bug-eyed performer earned a chance to perform on Star Search, which led to a role in 1985's What's Happening Now!

, eventually landing his own series on Fox in 1992, appropriately named Martin. The show became a huge success, its risqué humor making it a ratings stalwart for more than five years and winning two NAACP Image Awards in the process, although some detractors criticized
for promoting the image of an oversexed, insensitive black man.
Two years after Martin's successful launch,
You So Crazy!
, a raunchy, vulgarity-laced comedy that originally received the NC-17 rating and was later released unrated. Its crudeness, however, didn't matter much to audiences, as
You So Crazy!
went on to become one of the highest-grossing concert films of its time.
appeared to have it all, professionally and privately; in 1995 he married former beauty queen Patricia Southall in a lavish ceremony and the pair had a daughter, Jasmine. Around this time, however,
's success story began to slip away, his off-camera behavior setting up what should someday be a fascinating E! True Hollywood Story.
On the set of his directorial debut,
A Thin Line Between Love and Hate
erupted in a violent outburst and began taking psychotropic drugs. A few months later, he was arrested for another disturbance, where he reportedly brandished a pistol and screamed at tourists and others on Ventura Boulevard. Over the next two years, his behavior became even more erratic as he racked up a series of gun-related arrests. He landed in drug rehab and filed for divorce from Southall after she got a temporary restraining order against him for yet another vicious eruption.
But the most bizarre and unsettling charges were yet to come.

sexually harassed her to the point that she feared for her safety. The studio brokered a settlement that allowed
to finish the show's final season, although she and
would never be on the soundstage together again.
Despite all the trauma,
seemed as popular as ever. He starred in four hugely commercial successes between 1995 and 1999, including
Bad Boys
Will Smith
Nothing to Lose
Tim Robbins
Eddie Murphy
, and on his own in
Blue Streak
. These films made
extremely bankable -- his salary broke the ten-million-dollar mark for
Big Momma's House
and it seemed as if his previous troubles were behind him.
Then in 1999, while jogging to lose an extra few pounds before filming began on
Big Momma's House
collapsed into a severe coma due to heat exhaustion, delaying the production's start and firing up the old rumors of drug use and unpredictable behavior. But after recuperating,
said the coma scare put him back on the straight and narrow.
His career trajectory certainly supported this -- after the success of
Big Momma's House
, he reportedly earned 13 million dollars for
What's the Worst That Could Happen?
Danny DeVito
. He earned upwards of 16.5 million dollars for
Black Knight
, which featured
as a down-on-his-luck employee of a theme restaurant who finds himself transported back to medieval times.
's next film appearance,
Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat
, once again found the popular but controversial funnyman taking to the stage, though this time in a far more personal bid to humorize the sometimes startling headlines that had left many fans fearing for both his health and sanity. Seemingly purged of his current demns and eager to settle back into a lucrative film career,
took to the screen opposite Steve Zahn for the high-speed action comedy National Secuity (2003) before gearing up for the sequel to
Bad Boys
. After a relatively quiet 2004,
attempted to broaden his appeal by playing a basketball coach in the family-oriented comedy Rebound. In 2006
performed in his first animated film, Open Season, opposite Ashton Kutcher, and released the sequel to one of his biggest comedy hits Big Momma's House 2. That same year he filmed the biker road comedy Wild Hogs alongside Tim Allen and John Travolta. ~ Stephanie M. Kuenn, Rovi

But despite the fact that this trip is strictly "girls only," Melanie's father isn't comfortable with the prospect of his little princess hitting the road without an adult chaperone -- and what better guardian to have while you're out on the open road than the chief of police himself? Of course, while Melanie's father only has the best of intentions, his presence on a trip that was designed to mark his little girl's emergence as a young adult leads to an endless series of comic complications. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A single father who has just found success as the host of an outrageous television talk show begins to question his path in life when he returns home to attend his parents' 50th wedding anniversary party in the company of his famous fiancée -- a reality television star -- in this crisis-of-conscience comedy starring Martin Lawrence. RJ Stevens (Lawrence) is a television talk-show sensation who has transcended his modest Southern beginnings to become the most popular self-help guru ever to grace the small screen. His show, "Team of Me," is a ratings juggernaut, his fiancée is a beautiful reality television star, and his pockets are always lined with large bills. There are few Tinseltown dreams that RJ hasn't already achieved, so when his parents announce their 50th wedding anniversary, the family-oriented television star immediately drops everything and sets his sights on Georgia. As a boy, RJ was always the target of ridicule within his family, but these days things are different; not only does RJ have a ten-year-old son, but his bride-to-be is admired by countless viewers all across the globe on a weekly basis. But RJ's egotistical West Coast attitude simply doesn't fly in the South, and when his lovable but relentless family refuses to cut him any slack due to his current superstar status, he must finally pause and take stock of the man he has become.

A domesticated grizzly bear finds that there's more to life than being the star attraction of a mountain town nature show when a fast-talking mule deer offers him a crash course in woodland living in Sony Pictures Animation's first full-length animated feature. Raised by kindly park ranger Beth (Debra Messing) since he was a just a cub, 900-pound grizzly Boog (Martin Lawrence) is content to spend his days entertaining Timberline tourists and his nights nestled safely in Beth's luxurious garage. Boog's life is about to get much more complicated, however, when paranoid hunter Shaw (Gary Sinese) returns from a recent foray in the woods with a frightened, one-horn mule deer named Elliot strapped trophy-like to the hood of his truck. Though at first reluctant to answer Elliot's desperate cries for help, gentle giant Boog eventually frees the thankful creature, who in turn decides to teach his hulking friend what it truly means to be free. Subsequently tranquilized and relocated into the wilderness after momentarily reverting to his true animalistic nature, Boog is forced to team with seasoned forest-dweller Elliot in order to find their way out of the woods before hunting season starts and Shaw comes gunning for all creatures great and small. Things are different in the woods than they were back in the safe confines of park ranger Beth's garage, though, and in order to find their way back to Timberline, Boog and Elliot are going to have to rely on the kindness of their fellow creatures, a rowdy and unruly bunch that includes an army of Scottish squirrels led by rogue critter McSquizzy (Billy Connolly), and a productive beaver construction team whose foreman, Reilly (Jon Faverau), is more than willing to lend a helping tail. With hunting season now upon them and time running out as the hunters close in, the unlikely duo of bear and mule deer put their new life lessons to good use by turning the tables on the gun-toting gamesmen, and once again making the woods safe for the furry critters who call the forest home. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Adversaries become wary allies in this free-wheeling action comedy. Hank Rafferty (Steve Zahn) is a Los Angeles Police Department officer who finds himself out of a job after he becomes involved in a violent altercation with police academy flunk-out Earl Montgomery (Martin Lawrence), escalating into a media event which brings the LAPD a wealth of bad publicity. Unable to find work, Hank finally takes a job as a "rent-a-cop" with a private security firm -- and discovers to his annoyance that his new partner is Earl. While neither of them are thrilled to be working together on the lowest strata of the law enforcement community, the two find themselves dealing with bigger crime than they expected when they stumble across evidence of a elite smuggling network operated by criminal mastermind Nash (Eric Roberts). Hank and Earl want to put Nash out of business, and they try without success to persuade the police of the importance of the case. But before long they discover it's not just Nash's men who are after them, but two high-ranking LAPD officials, Lt. Washington (Bill Duke) and Detective McDuff (Colm Feore). National Security was directed by Dennis Dugan, who'd previously helmed antic comedies starring Adam Sandler and Chris Farley; this film also marked Martin Lawrence's entry into the elite of Hollywood's comedy stars, with Lawrence taking home a 20-million-dollar paycheck for his work on the picture. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After a string of box-office failures, actor-comedian Martin Lawrence bares his soul -- and tells the stories behind some of his more troubling run-ins with the police, the media, and the movie industry -- in this feature-length stand-up performance film. Interspersing some behind-the-scenes documentary footage with a live recording of his packed-to-the-rafters concert at Washington, D.C.'s Constitution Hall in January, 2002, Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat returns Lawrence to his roots: broad, bawdy, expletive-laden, slang-influenced monologues. But this time, the comedian's work takes on a personal slant, as he addresses the incident where he brandished a gun in a busy Los Angeles street during the filming of A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996), as well as the severe health problems he suffered just before cameras were ready to roll on what would be one of his biggest successes, Big Momma's House (2000). Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat was produced by MTV Films, the company responsible for bringing 2000's four-man stand-up documentary Original Kings of Comedy to the screen; unlike Lawrence's previous performance film, the unrated You So Crazy, Runteldat was granted a "R" rating by the MPAA. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Screenwriter Darryl Quarles follows up his smash hit Big Momma's House (2000) with another raucous Martin Lawrence collaboration. Lawrence stars as Jamal Walker, an employee at a medieval-themed mini-golf course who wakes up in 14th century England after a blow to the head. Jamal has soon allied himself with a peasant girl and a broken-down ex-knight to defeat the evil King Leo (Kevin Conway) and his bullying minion, Sir Knolte (Tom Wilkinson). In the meantime, Jamal busts some modern dance moves on the medieval dance floor and encounters such intriguing residents of the period as knaves, peasants, archers, jousting knights, maidens, a princess, and even a giant. Black Knight (2001) is the sophomore directing vehicle of longtime television producer Gil Junger, who joins Lawrence in replacing the team originally attached to this comic vehicle, director F.

In this comedy, a cop assumes a new identity in his valiant battle against crime: an elderly grandmother! Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) is an FBI agent who is a master of disguise and will stop at nothing to get his man. When a bank robber escapes from prison and goes on a violent crime spree, Malcolm is assigned to bring him in. The thief's girlfriend Sherry (Nia Long), who is also the mother of his child, lives in a small Southern town, and Malcolm plans to set up a stake-out in the house across the street from Sherry's. However, the house is owned by Big Momma (Ella Mitchell), an older woman with a sharp tongue and no patience for back talk, and when Big Momma has to leave town, it leaves her house suspiciously empty. Determined to maintain his cover, Malcolm disguises himself as Big Momma, and now has to convince Sherry (and everyone else in the neighborhood) that Big Momma's still in town. Big Momma's House gained considerable pre-production publicity when Lawrence fell into a coma while jogging in a heat wave before the film's start date; Lawrence claimed that he was trying to lose weight to fit more comfortably into his character's "fat suit." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

National project with a Stradivarius
Who would think that a banal song contest like Eurovision can trigger new round of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. When Kyiv won the right to host the finals of the 50th Eurovision contest, Moscow was sick with envy and spent millions to catch up with the Western neighbor. It cost Russia several expensive but futile attempts. And finally with his second attempt at Eurovision 2008 Russian pop singer Dima Bilan won the contest.
Bilan was safe to win this year. Otherwise, would the national TV channels have launched the campaign long before the contest? The "Russia! Bilan!" slogan was being televised over all national channels during several months as something really important, far more important than the national elections!
So when the promised and planned victory was sealed, Moscow was triumphant; both the President and the Cabinet sent their compliments to the winner. Meanwhile, Kyiv was questioning the results, pleading falsifications and promising a comeback. Premier Yuliya Tymoshenko honored Ani Lorak, Ukrainian singer who took the second prize, as if she won the contest. President Viktor Yushchenko awarded Lorak and her producer Philip Kirkorov with titles of People's Artist of Ukraine. All in all, there was no less patriotic hysteria in Ukraine than in Moscow.
One Russian music reviewer commented that the victory at the 2008 Eurovision contest became in Russia a national idea and thus anyone who would doubt or censure Bilan's songs was a public enemy and a Russophobe. I've run through this comment several times and have found no irony in it. The guy really meant it! So did the bureaucrats who made Eurovision the national project. Any investment into the affair has paid off well or is about to do so in the near future.
When we have nothing else but hockey and the Eurovision contest to nourish our patriotic feelings, what is it if not a national catastrophe? On the other hand, there is much more behind such a trend. The more the citizens all over the world are alienated from the social life, the less there are levers for them to influence the decision-making process and the more they are motivated by purely private interests, the higher becomes the role of all sort of public entertainment that substitute public discussions, debates over ideology and social activism. Public entertainments cultivate passivism by being a substitute for participation; it helps to make slaves out of citizens. It is telling that the Roman slogan "Bread and circuses!" (Panem et circenses!) appeared in the imperial period of the Roman history.
The fuss around a song contest uncovers the inferiority complex that both Russia and Ukraine suffer from. Eurovision is a second-rate event never visited by the European music superstars. Otherwise all the laurels would go from year to year to Italy, France and sometimes to Spain, Britain and Germany.
For Eastern Europe Eurovision is much more a challenge. They spend money on it and make of it an issue of national pride. The contest permits the "fringe Europe" to remind about itself the whole continent that has less than few occasions to do so.
Even against the background of the Eastern Europeans, Russian authorities manage to stand out. For Kyiv Ani Lorak is as important as Dima Bilan for Russia, but the young lady at least technically corresponds to the rules of the contest - she is not yet a superstar. The same was true about the Russian girl band "Serebro" ("Silver") that was specially created to take part in the 2007 Eurovision contest where it won bronze. As for Bilan, his status of a superstar simply doesn't correspond to the contest's criteria. All the more that it was his second try at the Eurovision contest.
To tell the truth, Bilan was the best… for no other reason than that the singers of his level don't participate in Eurovision. To be proud of this victory is next to being proud of a heavyweight knocking out a boy at a school boxing tournament.
I can understand the wish of the Moscow mayor to play it safe. What a shame! For several years we've been spending money to no effect. It is all the more lamentable that Ukraine has got there without great financial resources. But did the trick with the Russian triumphant trio work? I strongly doubt it. Despite all the propaganda the general public cannot full-heartedly sympathize with the Bilan-Plushenko-Marton triumvirate. To play a winning game, they backed Bilan with the Olympic figure-skater Evgeny Plushenko and a Hungarian (!) composer and violinist Edwin Marton. The latter was playing a Stradivarius. I wonder who is more Russian - Marton or a Stradivarius?!
That was too much! It was evident that Russia was represented at Eurovision by money, not by a singer. And the lack of trust from the part of producers to Dima Bilan must have been humiliating.
Should the Russian authorities invest one third of the money spent on promoting Bilan in hospitals and schools, that would perceptibly improve the situation in several Russia's regions. But public health care workers and pupils don't form the public opinion - Russian propaganda gurus must think so.

Small body, bright tone, and stunning good looks.
The G406S New Yorker Acoustic Guitar offers the smallest body profile Takamine makes. The New Yorker has a traditional old-time guitar shape that produces an immediate, clear, full-bodied tone evoking old 78-rpm records of the '40s.
The Takamine New Yorker guitar's strumming voice is sharp and airy. When played finger-style it sings with sweetness and character that make you want to dig a little deeper into the roots of American music.
The Takamine G406S combines the craftsmanship and materials that have made traditionally styled guitars so desirable: a solid spruce top and a gorgeous 3-piece rosewood and quilted maple back, mahogany neck, and rosewood fretboard. New Yorker guitar appointments include wood body binding and heelcap, an abalone rosette, and gold tuning keys.

Correct. Of the 25 Blitz songs, 12 are currently standalone DLC for all 3 consoles. "Death on Two Legs" and "One Week" are on Wii, but not the other two (so expect one, but not both, in the next release).
Is it me, or is drums not charted for the start of Sweet Emotion? I'm sure I'm hearing them.
Dream On sounds, well, different. It's something that would probably sound good if I was drunk.

What a great pack! I wasnt expecting this announcement last week. These are really fun on legacy guitar. The solo on sweet emotion is a blast!

I had replied to a few questions about this on Twitter yesterday, and basically the answer is "it's not up to us". We'll credit whatever source labels specify, and it's usually tied to licensing. Licensing can affect anything from what album a track is listed under, what album cover appears (or if that's even an option), and how featured artists are credited. It can get pretty complicated sometimes.
All winners should be contacted today. We have codes in hand, but prizing is coming from the label, so there's a bit of coordinating going on. Everyone should hopefully know by the end of the day.
The above is an update that was just made in the Aerosmith announcement. Unfortunately, a date issue wasn't caught during the review process and we initially announced the wrong release date for this pack on the Wii. The Aerosmith pack is actually delayed until March 12th on the Wii, both in the US and EU.
The reason behind this is tied a bit to the submission process. Content isn't submitted to all 3 consoles at the same time and the submission process is different for all 3 consoles as well. We were able to turnaround quick submissions for 360 and PS3 (during the hectic holiday schedule), but we weren't able to work with Nintendo to get the pack slotted in for the planned 1/29 release date. Due to the way Nintendo processes their submissions and the timeline we were working on, 3/12 was the soonest we were able to schedule that content.
The incorrect date should have been caught in the announcement before it was published and we apologize for any confusion that's caused. We've synced up with the DLC team to make sure that future announcements are reviewed more closely and delays are communicated more effectively so we don't see mix ups like this again in the future. Sorry again for the conflicting date info.

If the Facebook winners have all been notified then yep. Big shocker. I didn't win, again.
For more (!) background info on the vocals for "Dream On" (specifically, why does Steven Tyler sing this way?!), there is this quote from Aerosmith's autobiography, in reference to Aerosmith's first album:
Yes, I changed my voice when we did the final vocals. I didn't like my voice, the way it sounded. I was insecure, but nobody told me not to do it. I thought I didn't sound right on tape. To me, it sounded like a neutered or castrato voice and I wanted to sound a little bit black because I was from Yonkers and back then James Brown and Sly Stone were the only ones saying anything in music, so I put that **** on.
I got a lot of **** for it, too.
I used this voice for "One Way Street" and all of that stuff except "Dream On." "Dream On" is the real me.
...and actually, it doesn't explain why he does it on "Dream On", but he still does do it live from time to time - and it happens that Rock Band has a version that does. Tyler does do his "little bit black" voice all over that first album though.

This editorial is so typical of the Memphis "good ole boy" mentality and of a weak newspaper like the Commercial Appeal who predictably will always support the mediocrity that thrives in this city.
The billboard campaign does no harm and is needed to call further attention to the numerous problems at Memphis International Airport.
Perhaps it will exert further pressure on the MSCAA, and long-time CEO Larry Cox, who have miserably failed in their jobs.
The MSCAA has done nothing but support Northwest/Delta at a tremendous cost to local travelers. Their failures have badly hurt economic development in Memphis which continues to fall behind other peer cities.
Board Chair Arnold Perl has needs to resign and the entire board, which includes the wife of Mayor Wharton, need to be replaced. There is absolutely no governance for the MSCAA Board whose members serve for decades virtually unchecked.
Larry Cox needs to move up his announced retirement and resign immediately. He's been in the same job for way too long and needs to be replaced by a competent airport professional from the outside.
The MSCAA is a disaster and needs new blood. Now, not later....it's time for them to go.
So much for the "Aerotropolis" -- Memphis International and the MSCAA continue to fail the citizens of Memphis and the mid-south.
Excellent points...MOMemphis!!! Thank you.

Web designing is not just a commercial, technical undertaking, but an aesthetic skill. One has to concentrate on content as well as visuals. One of the most important factors that determine the visual quotient of your website is the moderation, mixture and application of different colour schemes. Choosing the right colour, using a good balance, sharpening the contrast when necessary—all of these help enhance the aesthetic appeal of your website. Different colours have personal meanings for different viewers, but more importantly, they have certain general associations, which you could use to your advantage. Different websites have different colour demands, and it is a good idea to in some deep thought before choosing the colours that represent your site.
Different colours give out different messages. So depending on what kind of website you are designing, you should be careful about varying, combining colours. For instance, Green is one of those colours that has an extremely soothing effect, especially if you're using a spring shade. This is because green is immediately associated with the natural world, which is always associated with tranquillity and equanimity. So green is a good colour for a website that deals with spirituality, environment, meditation, peace.
Blue is a corporate colour. It is a good choice for entrepreneurial site, as it is a colour that is associated with assurance, efficiency, accuracy, strength. It is also a peaceful colour. It is associated with the watery world, which is often a source of peace, stamina. It is also associated with the sky, which again, is associated with ambition and reaching upwards. It is one of the most commonly used colours for business and technology websites.
Black can be used to create a variety of effects. Black can evoke very strong reactions, so be careful how you use it. It can be used to create an aura of mystery and secrecy. It is extremely useful as a background in websites that display photographs video thumbnails. It sets off other colours by contrast. It is a good choice for art websites, or even online comic strips.
Grey is quite a dull colour, so it can be used to create an effect of urbane decadence. Purple is a colour that is associated with richness, luxury, royalty. It is a good colour for websites that are selling drapes or fashion clothes. It gives a certain degree of class and sophistication to the content. It can also create a mood of indolence and opulence. It is quite a grand colour, and can be used to give an impression of flair and flamboyancy.
Colours like orange and yellow are associated with youth and energy, They add oodles of zing to your website, but they are daring colours and may not be to everyone's liking, so you have to use them with discretion. Use them in requisite amounts, and don't use them in large quantities, as they can be quite a turn off for some.
These could be perfect colours for websites dealing with youth initiatives and enterprises.

This is absolutely amazing! Great price, as fast or faster than a GTX460, low power usage, quiet enough, just wow! Could totally be the midrange card to beat!!
Awesome review and awesome card! LOVING the perf/power graphs! But, what's up with: Even with higher voltage you barely went over the CCC limit for GPU clock and memory limit was not reached
The overvolted overclocking on this card looks great, although the throttling makes me think a better stock cooler or an aftermarket cooler is called for. saying that though i have to wonder if the 6850's blower syle cooler would help keep the temps down better than the direct cu cooler. Will TPU be getting a 6850 with the blower style cooler?
that's because this single card clearly sucked for overclocking. check the other reviews to see how far the other cards went sorry i thought this was the HIS 6850 review
From what I can see, this card had the best overclocking out of all tested cards. Am I blind? Asus HD 6850 Direct CU 1 GB (the card we're commenting here) OCed like a beast, yet still barely touched the CCC limits (and that was with additional voltage) HIS HD 6850 didn't even get to 950 MHz (with additional voltage) So, I really fail to see your argument (in context of HD 6850) Edit: that is, if the CCC limits are as you say in the review - 1000 MHz core and 1250 MHz memory So, I'd say that either there's a typo/wrong copy-paste in the review or the conclusion page lists a copy/pasted "negative" Edit2: beat me to it with your edit
sorry, i had 4 hours of sleep i think we all agree that the overdrive limits are a POS and there shouldnt be any limits for overclocking. so the only good limits are ones that are high enough that you will never encounter them. and with better asics, better cooling, more voltage, higher fan speed you will run into the 1 ghz limit and ask yourself "how much more?". check the other reviews on the web they hit 1 ghz and i'm sure they weren't happy about it
Then get some sleep now (if you're not at work ) You did a fantastic job with your reviews, as always. And yes, I'd very much like to see CCC limits gone too
But is the CCC limit really anything to judge by as it changes it's limits depending on card/bios. My 4870's CCC limit was 790mhz so i had to flash the bios to get past there and my htpc's CCC max is 500mhz (ati 4350), i just don't think it is a good idea to compare the oc to the CCC limit thats all. *edit* so many edits, im struggling to keep up with them but i have been beaten to my point..... i think
I kind of feel as if AMD should have been a bit more aggressive with the 6850 and make the default core clock to 800MHz. That way you'd have a more balanced showing compared to the gtx460 768mb
WiZ, you've done a great job getting all of these reviews out so quickly, BUT can I refer you to the news post: http://techpowerup.com/132963/NVIDIA-Releases-GeForce-260.89-WHQL-Driver-Suite.html Given the vast performance improvement with the 260 drivers, it would have been a good idea to update your GTX performance comparatives, because today, the GTX460 and the 6850 are probably neck-and-neck in performance rather than the review which is shwoing GTX460 5-10% slower but on old drivers.
Great card and review! Very tempted to abandon my GTX 260 for this Only bad thing about this card is the name. Pity the guys thinkin' they are upgrading overall performance from a 5850...
No idea what those comments were. So long ago, not sure I was even born yet. But I'm guessing: the shoe was on the other foot and Wiz was using old ATI drivers? Yes, significant driver changes are a PITA for reviewers. But if another site does use current drivers for all cards, then arguably, they will have a better review and their results are a better basis for making a purchase decision. What! Heresy! Another site... we don't want that
Yeah that's about right, it lead to the epic early april fools about w1zzard leaving TPU. This is true but i think the major problem is when they new drivers come out a few days before the review NDA ends and i would assume by that point a lot of the benchmarking has already been done.
LOL, 6 months later and it is probably time for the drama-w1z to resign again! LOL! My-o-my, 6 months have passed quickly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGnfKnfY6EM
Not for me i was waiting for the 480 back then hoping it could be the perfect card to stop me buying a 5870 but by the time i found out fermi could not suit my needs i though i may as well wait for the ATI refresh.... 6 months later and i'm still waiting for the 6970 to come out I just hope the 6970 can do what i want as no matter what the day the NDA ends on it i'm buying a graphics card or even 2 from whoever can give me what i need at that time.
I believe W1z is referring to the "factory" overclock. In this case they stuck with AMDs reference clocks.
same, it would be nice to see maybe 3 titles tested at OC'd settings, COD4 is/was a great indicator of GPU horsepower, but it is getting outdated given the horsepower availiable. I'd like to see COD4, BC2 and Unigine Heaven at OC'd settings.

BIOACCUMULATION AND CLAMS: Clams are filter-feeders, meaning they draw water into their shells, remove the food they find, and then draw in more food-rich water to continue feeding. This means that lots of water works its way through their shells. The muscle of the clam gathers not only food, but other material suspended in water during this process, which can lead to the accumulation of toxins and pollutants. Bioaccumulation is the term for toxins and pollutants that collect in the tissue of an organism. Biomagnification is a related term, referring to the transfer of such substances from prey to predator. If a prey animal bioaccumulates toxins in its body, then its predator, after consuming many of the smaller animals will accumulate many, many times the amount of the toxin in any one of their prey.
SECONDARY STANDARDS: Even if your tap water meets the EPA's basic requirement for safe drinking water, some people still object to the taste, smell or appearance of their water. These are aesthetic concerns, however, and therefore fall under the EPA's voluntary secondary standards. Some tap water is drinkable, but may be temporarily clouded because of air bubbles, or have a chlorine taste. A bleach-like taste can be improved by letting the water stand exposed to the air for a while.

After its publication in 1952 in her short story collection The Apple Tree, ''The Birds'' became one of Daphne du Maurier's most celebrated works. The story presents an unrelenting portrait of terror and a compelling analogy of the atmosphere of fear generated in America and Europe during the Cold War years.
Covering only a few days in the life of a family living on the Cornish coast of England, ''The Birds'' examines what would happen if animals traditionally regarded as symbols of peace and freedom began to ruthlessly attack humans. The story opens in the middle of the night when farm worker Nat Hocken wakes to an insistent tapping at his window. Du Maurier quickly increases the tension and horror as Nat's family suffers several vicious attacks by hordes of swarming birds, seemingly bent on destruction.
Richard Kelly, in his article on du Maurier for Twayne 's English Authors Series Online notes, ''by limiting the focus of her story upon Nat Hocken and his family, du Maurier manages to convey the effect of a believable claustrophobic nightmare.'' This sense of claustrophobia is heightened by the story's references to the bombing raids England endured during World War II and the paranoid atmosphere created by the threat of nuclear holocaust during the middle of the twentieth century. Eleven years after it was written, the story was turned into a popular film version by Alfred Hitchcock.

The only hotelier in Las Vegas who can claim that each and every one of his establishments has earned the Royal Review Board's Five Diamond Award, Willy Bank (Pacino) has made more than his share of enemies during his impressive ascent. While most of Bank's adversaries amount to little more than the occasional nuisance, however, this powerful player is about to find out that picking your enemies in Las Vegas can be a true gamble. In betraying Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), Bank has finally crossed the one man who could bring his entire empire crumbling to the ground -- Danny Ocean (Clooney). Now Reuben is in critical condition, and Ocean is determined to strike back at the man who nearly murdered his mentor. Bank may have taken down one of the original Ocean's Eleven, but his efforts only managed to unite the remaining ten closer than ever before. As the opening of Bank's newest casino draws near, Danny and the crew set into motion a bold plan to humiliate the cocksure casino owner and forever tarnish his spotless reputation. It won't be easy, but if Ocean and his team can get their elaborate plan together in time for the opening of The Bank, they just might be able to deliver some serious Las Vegas justice. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
When a movie keeps you this entertained without insulting your intelligence, it's hard to complain.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
It's a great looking movie.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Flat, abstruse, predictable and unable to raise your pulse rate higher than a blip on an EKG.
David Fear, Time Out New York
You get what you came for, namely the usual suspects breezily hamming it up and a lot of forgettable banter going down incredibly easily.
Tom Charity, CNN.com
An entertaining night out at the movies. Have some popcorn.

- Coca-Cola Fairy3D Modeling
- These are films by Vetor Zero/Lobo.
I was responsible for the modeling of some characters and props.
In the first movie, "Fada Futeboleira", I modeled the "Fairy", the two characters behind the curtain and some props. I also did some tweeks on the roof of the mains house and some minor details on the scenario.In the second movie, called "Coca-Cola Residency", I modeled the the old lady, the mustache grandpa and the fairy. I also modeled the hair from all the other characters. The Nurse was modeled by me and my friend Daniel Ho.For the third and last movie, "the Comentators", I modeled some props like the shelf on the background, some books, tables and one of the hosts.
I also modeled blendshapes for all characters for their facial rigging.
All the modeling was done in Maya using polygons and the UVs were done in Headus UV Layout. The hair from all the characters was done with polygons and Shave and Haircut.


text: With Hollywood Ending, Woody Allen good-naturedly bites the hand that feeds him. The modern studio system is a ripe target for Allen's rapier wit, but the veteran writer-director goes a delicious step further by playing a has-been filmmaker who suffers from psychosomatic blindness--during the production of his big-budget comeback! Rather than sabotage his career, he proceeds to direct the film with guidance from his Chinese cinematographer's translator, telling his agent (played by another veteran director, Mark Rydell) while hiding the truth from his ex-wife and producer (Téa Leoni), her studio honcho husband (Treat Williams), and his ditzy actress girlfriend (Debra Messing), who has a small role in the film. Chaos ensues--and so does Allen's predilection for casting much-younger female costars--but Hollywood Ending favors a more contemplative blend of comedy and drama, peppered with memorable punch lines and blessed with, yes, a Hollywood ending that's as entertaining as the mayhem that precedes it. --Jeff Shannon

Next month, Tommy Bahama is opening a restaurant at its new flagship store in Manhattan. Shoppers will be able to buy one of the chain's signature tropical print shirts, then order the macadamia-nut encrusted snapper.
More and more retailers are following the Tommy Bahama model these days, using food and drink to lure customers into stores as sales increasingly migrate online. Urban Outfitters, known for selling hipster threads in college towns, has served lamb merquez and striped bass at its Terrain home-and- garden store in Westport, Conn. J.C. Penney plans to add juice bars and coffee shops. Gap's Banana Republic has served cocktails to debut new clothing collections, while Ann's Loft brand held Friday happy hours.
Tommy Bahama has become a model for other retailers because its restaurant-stores generate 2 1/2 times the sales per square foot of the apparel chain's regular locations, Chief Executive Officer Terry Pillow said in an interview. Fellow CEOs often ask about the food-and-beverage business.
"They're fascinated first of all that we have it, and the second thing they're fascinated about is we run it ourselves and we've chosen not to license it," Pillow said.
Putting restaurants inside stores has a long history. In the 1900s, many department stores ran restaurants and tea rooms. Some even achieved iconic status and continue to serve customers today, including Chicago's Walnut Room at Macy's and the Zodiac restaurant at a Neiman Marcus store in Dallas. More recently, Nordstrom has tested a contemporary diner concept called Sixth Pine and added espresso bars.
Retailers are looking for ways to attract customers to their brick-and-mortar locations as the National Retail Federation forecasts online sales may rise to 16 percent of $586 billion in holiday revenue this season. Food is an opportunity as consumers show more interest in farmer's markets and amid the popularity of such cooking shows as cable network Bravo's "Top Chef."
Eating is a memorable experience "and a lot of lifestyle retailers have been exploring it," said Aaron Spiess, co- founder and co-head of Big Red Rooster, a brand consulting firm based in Columbus, Ohio. Spiess says he has spoken with three specialty brands about incorporating food into stores.
Tommy Bahama, owned by Atlanta-based Oxford Industries, is renewing the bet on its retail-restaurant "Island" locations with the 13,000-square-foot Manhattan flagship. While the retail part of the store debuted this month, superstorm Sandy pushed back the restaurant opening until December.
The bar will have a sugarcane press for cocktails and the menu will feature such vacation-style New York dishes as pineapple cheesecake and grouper Reubens.
The first Island store, which opened in Naples, Fla., in 1996, generates about $2,000 per square foot, CEO Pillow said. That's similar to the productivity of a Coach or Lululemon Athletica store, which are industry leaders, according to RetailSails, a consulting firm.
Tommy Bahama says the restaurants generate about 12 percent of its $452 million in annual revenue.
With $18 grilled steak salads, $12.50 seared scallop sliders and $12 cocktails, Tommy Bahama's restaurants aren't cheap, at least compared with the fast-food at Wal-Mart Stores and Target, and neither are the brand's $98 polos and $118 shorts. The food and service are in line with the brand's messaging, and Tommy Bahama executives have made a point to oversee it themselves, Pillow said.
The two Urban Outfitters Terrain stores, in Glen Mills, Penn., and Westport, offer a trendy farm-to-table spread. In Westport, the dinner menu in July included $36 striped bass, $39 ribeye and a $19 vegetable plate.
Customers typically spend 1 1/2 hours browsing Terrain, and that can double to three hours if they're visiting the café and shopping between glasses of wine or lunch, Wendy McDevitt, president of Terrain, said in a telephone interview.
Decades ago, the first Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie stores originally had a restaurant and a cafe, respectively, McDevitt said.
"The one thing you can't get in the cyberworld is the tactile experience, and that won't go away," she said. "Food is becoming bigger and bigger in terms of entertainment value."
J.C. Penney, based in Plano, Texas, plans to replace cash registers with coffee and juice bars and add tables and chairs, so "no one has to leave the store if they want to refresh," Chief Executive Officer Ron Johnson said in an Aug. 10 earnings call. A Caribou coffee café and a gelato shop were shown to analysts in a September tour of the company's prototype store.
Some retailers are holding shopping events featuring food and cocktails to draw shoppers in, adding the dining component without a dedicated cafe or restaurant.
Banana Republic has served hors d'oeuvres and cocktails at loyalty shopping events and to introduce new collections, such as its Anna Karenina line this month. Loft held Friday happy hours this summer at its New York Rockefeller Center store.
Tommy Bahama plans to open another Island in Tokyo next year and is assessing locations elsewhere.
"You have the opportunity to lose a guest with every single meal and they'll look at that meal as an extension of every product you sell, so to fail is to fail big," said Doug Wood, the chain's president. "It's the difference between 'I just bought this Tommy Bahama shirt and I don't like it as well as the other ones I have,' versus 'I just had a meal and I got sick and I'm never going to go back again and I'm not going to buy their clothes.'
"It's challenging to operate, but if you execute it right, it's magic."

text: Last year I was not aboard the Tim Tebow band wagon, especially after he beat my Jets. His play was terrible as a QB, but his stats were so unique that I had to wonder about him. He is definitely a winner that much I'll give him. Losers don't take over a pathetic looking 1-4 team, take them into the playoffs, and beat the Steelers and their #1 defense. In the end, he seemed to have more yards rushing then passing (that's totally untrue, he passed for 1,729 yards and ran for 660 but it really did feel that way after many of his games). Furthermore, I am not a religious person and quite frankly, I think religion should be left out of politics and football. So this guy here doesn't care for Tebowmania. That being said, I am glad the Jets had the gumption to make this trade. Continue reading
