An alleged rape gets examined and reexamined in this low-budget thriller from Midwestern-based filmmaker Zack Parker. Margo Martindale (Justified) stars as Janice, the heavyset, middle-aged mother of Jakob (Adam Scarimbolo). He's a neurologically damaged mute who requires constant attention. When Janice makes the mistake of hiring an attractive college student named Paige (Hanna Hall) to look after Jakob, conflict erupts between the co-ed and her charge; a traumatized Paige claims that the enigmatic young man assaulted her, which leads to Jakob's incarceration and drives Janice to seek vengeance against Paige. Parker tells the same story three times, Rashomon-style; he begins by filtering events through Janice's perspective, then retells it from Jakob's and finally Paige's. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A housewife with little knowledge of horse-racing fosters one of the greatest race horses of all time as the story of the 1973 Triple Crown winner comes to the screen in this inspirational underdog drama based on the novel Secretariat: The Making of a Champion by William Nack and starring Diane Lane and John Malkovich. Penny Chenery (Lane) is a devoted mother and housewife whose ailing father is the proprietor of Meadow Stables in Virginia. When her father becomes too ill to tend to his horses, Penny agrees to take over the stables despite her inexperience. Desperate, she turns to veteran horse trainer Lucien Laurin (Malkovich) to help show her the ropes. Up to this point, horse racing has been a decidedly male-dominated sport. But with Lucien's help, Penny prepares to prove that gender has no bearing on one's ability to breed a fast race horse. As Secretariat blasts out of the gates to leave his competition in the dust, the whole world watches in amazement, and a legend is born. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hannah Montana: The Movie opens with Hannah's ($Miley Cyrus) hectic lifestyle wrecking the important relationships in her life. Because she gets into a catfight over shoes with Tyra Banks, she forgets to say goodbye when her brother leaves for college, and she's late for her best friend's sweet sixteen because she's being chased by the paparazzi. Anxious to get Miley back to her roots, her manager/father (Billy Ray Cyrus), whisks her away to their hometown in Tennessee, where he hopes grandma and the locals will help the selfish star reconnect to some simple family values. Since Miley wants to be Hannah most of the time, she hates being stuck in the backwoods town, but a cute young ranch hand -- and her grandmother's love -- eventually melts her heart. And, when the town needs to raise cash to stop a developer from soiling their perfect little community with a big, evil mall, what celebrity performer do you think might just show up to save the day? ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

A disgraced Dominican cop fights to clear his name and avenge his father's death in this gritty revenge thriller from director Joshua Crook (Salvage, Rockaway). Luisito's father was an honest butcher who valued hard work. He was a positive role model for a kid from the slums, and Luisito's life was forever changed when notorious drug dealer Rafa (Paul Calderon) shot him down in cold blood. Flash-forward two decades, and Luisito is doing his part to keep the Dominican Republic safe from the criminal element. He's been carefully molded into the perfect crime fighter thanks to the charismatic General Colon (Juan Fernández), who exploited Luisito's childhood trauma before inducting him into the secret police. As a young boy, Luisito fell deeply in love with Jenny. But when Jenny's family moved to New York shortly after Luisito's father was killed, they lost touch. Now, Jenny (Denise Quiñones) is back in the Dominican Republic, and her feelings for Luisito are stronger than ever. If only Luisito could find a way to tell her about his work, perhaps they could find a way to make love work. Unfortunately for Luisito and Jenny, an investigation into General Colon's recent activities reveals an epic betrayal, and sets the stage for a tragic confrontation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An outwardly angelic little girl displays an unforeseen devilish streak upon moving into the home of her new adoptive parents in this shocker starring Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga. In the aftermath of a miscarriage, prospective parents Kate (Farmiga) and John (Sarsgaard) find their lives turned upside down; their marriage is falling apart, and the demons of Kate's past begin manifesting themselves in a series of horrifying nightmares. Deciding that the best means of achieving some semblance of normalcy is to simply adopt, the dejected couple visits a local orphanage. There, they are both drawn to a nine-year-old girl named Esther. But Esther isn't as sweet as first impressions suggest, and almost immediately after welcoming the young child into their home, Kate and John suspect that something is terribly wrong with their adoptive daughter. Kate can see right through Esther's seraphic charm, though her attempts to convince everyone else of the truth go unheeded by her skeptical family and friends. By the time anyone bothers to take Kate seriously, it may be too late to prevent a devastating tragedy from unfolding. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award recipient James C. Strouse follows up his 2007 Sundance Film Festival favorite Grace Is Gone with this comedy drama about an alcoholic ex-basketball star who gets a second chance at success on the court when recruited by a local high school principal to coach the girl's varsity team. Bill (Sam Rockwell) used to sink hoops in the NBA, but that was before the bottle got the best of him. These days, Bill's more likely to be spotted bussing tables at the local diner than hustling up and down the court. Handed the reins on his daughter's basketball team by the school's principal, Bill seizes the opportunity to get back in the game and set things right. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A pair of siblings are forced to set aside their discomfort with one another for the sake of their father in this low-key comedy drama from writer/director Tamara Jenkins. Wendy Savage (Laura Linney) is a struggling playwright living in New York City who works a day job to support herself and can't shake the feeling that she's failed as an artist. Wendy isn't especially happy about her love life either, gaining little self-esteem from her on-and-off affair with oversexed, married neighbor Larry (Peter Friedman). Wendy's anxieties about her writing career are intensified by the success of her brother, Jon (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who teaches theater history at a college in Buffalo, NY, and has published a number of books. While Jon's life seems fine on the surface, a case of writer's block has stalled work on his latest project, and he's deeply upset that his girlfriend is soon to leave the United States to return to her native Poland. Wendy and Jon don't get along and prefer not to see one another, but an unfortunate circumstance brings them together -- their father, Lenny Savage (Philip Bosco). Elderly Lenny has began showing signs of dementia, and shortly after he takes to smearing his feces on the walls of his Arizona home, his ailing long-term girlfriend suddenly dies. Wendy and Jon have little choice but to fly to Arizona and see what can be done for Lenny, but their long-simmering animosity makes it hard for them to deal with the realities of Lenny's condition. The Savages received its world premiere at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Jeffrey Blitz's seriocomedy Rocket Science proves that many a handicap can be overcome, no matter how daunting the obstacle at hand may initially seem. Newcomer Reece Thompson plays Hal Hefner, a 15-year-old high-school student with a minor yet socially alienating (and painful) disability: he stutters uncontrollably. Determined to work through the problem, Hal opts for an extreme route -- he joins the school debating team, which sends him on a headfirst plunge into breakneck speech competitions -- and offers a much-needed boost toward correcting the problem. Blitz, like his onscreen alter ego, struggled with a stammer as a young man -- a disability he eventually surmounted -- which imparted him with a lifelong interest in speech and storytelling. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Kevin Bacon, Marcia Gay Harden, and Miles Heizer star in director Alison Eastwood's tale of two families locked into an emotional -- and physical -- collision course. There once was a time when Tom and Megan Stark had all the time in the world to take their dream vacation and start a family, but these days the couple's marriage is suffering and their time appears to be running short. Megan has been diagnosed with a potentially terminal illness, and when the prospect of losing his wife becomes too much to bear, railroad engineer Tom seeks escape in his work. On the tracks Tom is in control; all the routes are predetermined and he knows he'll eventually arrive at his destination. But sometimes even the most predictable events can go suddenly awry, and when Tom's train hits a car that was parked on the tracks by a suicidal mother, his life is plunged into ruin. While there was no way that Tom could have possibly stopped the train on time, the grieving conductor's woes are suddenly compounded upon realizing that he may lose his job because of the accident. Not only that, but the deceased woman's son, Davey, is consumed by the guilt that he could do nothing to prevent the accident, and he now places the blame for his mother's death squarely on Tom. But not all sad stories have to end in tragedy, and perhaps in the aftermath of this fateful accident Megan could receive a second chance at fulfilling her dreams, Tom could learn to open his heart before he is consumed by bitterness, and Davey could finally learn the true meaning of family. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan team up to take the swagger out of the traditional music biopic with this look at the troubled life of fictional music legend Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly). Apatow and Kasdan both write and produce, while Freaks and Geeks and Orange County director Kasdan steps into the director's chair. Dewey Cox is a rock & roll legend whose songs have the power to shake a nation. Despite the fact that Cox's career has been something of a roller coaster ride, the fact remains that he never went out of style in the eyes of his many adoring fans. He's rubbed elbows with everyone from Elvis Presley to the Beatles, ingested every drug known to man (often in doses large enough to kill a healthy horse), starred in his own television show, and slept with hundreds of women, yet somehow he still finds the time to write some of the best-known songs ever to hit the airwaves. Now, after being married multiple times and fathering enough offspring to populate a small island nation, this musical icon continues to turn out the hits while attempting to win the heart of his beautiful backup singer Darlene (Jenna Fischer). While no one doubts that Dewey Cox will continue to dominate the airwaves, does this larger-than-life superstar really have what it takes to avoid the temptations of the rock & roll lifestyle and finally settle down with one woman? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This typically iconoclastic FX network comedy-drama series was dedicated to the proposition of "Stealing the American Dream." The Malloys were a family of "travellers," roving con artists who lived perpetually on the fringes of society and just outside the reach of the law. After years of running scams and fleecing the unsuspecting, Wayne Malloy (Eddie Izzard) began to wonder if it was all worth the effort. At the same time, Wayne's drug-addict wife Dahlia (Minnie Driver) had been released from prison after a two-year stretch, and was raring to go back on the road with her husband and her equally disreputable children Sam (Aidan Mitchell), Cael (Noel Fisher) and Dehliah (Shannon Marie Woodward). While barreling through the Southland in their RV, the Malloys were involved in a traffic accident (not their fault, for a change!) in which the other drivers, a married couple, were killed. Rifling through the dead motorists' belongings, Wayne and Dahlia discovered that the victims were Doug and Cherein Rich, an upper-middle-class couple who'd just purchase a mansion in a gated community somewhere in Louisiana. Thus handed an opportunity to start life anew, the Malloys "became" the Riches and moved into that selfsame mansion, using their conning-and-hustling skills to convince their new neighbors that they were whom they claimed to be. Carrying the charade to the ultimate, Wayne, alias Mr. Rich, sweettalked his way into a job with family lawyer Hugh Panetta (Gregg Henry), while Dahlia found work as a dental hygienist and the kids tried to fit in at the local high school. Of course, there was always the possibility (or rather the likelihood) that the Malloys would revert to their old dishonest ways, especially whenever the former crooked associates would breeze into town. Forever playing fast and loose with manners, morals and audience expectations, the weekly, 60-minute The Riches made its cable-TV bow on March 12, 2007. Hal Erickson

Twenty acclaimed filmmakers from around the world look at love in the City of Lights in this omnibus feature. Paris, Je T'Aime features 18 short stories, each set in a different part of Paris and each featuring a different cast and director (two segments were produced by two filmmakers in collaboration). In "Faubourg Saint-Denis," Tom Tykwer directs Natalie Portman as an American actress who is the object of affection for a blind student (Melchior Belson). Christopher Doyle's "Porte de Choisy" follows a salesman (Barbet Schroeder) as he tries to pitch beauty aids in Chinatown. Nick Nolte and Ludivine Sagnier are father and daughter in "Parc Monceau" from Alfonso Cuarón. Animator Sylvain Chomet turns his eye to a pair of living, breathing mimes in "Tour Eiffel." An interracial romance in France is offered by Gurinder Chadha in "Quais de Seine." In "Le Marais" from Gus Van Sant, a man (Gaspard Ulliel) finds himself falling for a handsome gent (Elias McConnell) who works in a print shop. Isabel Coixet tells the tale of a man (Sergio Castellitto) who is making his final choice between his wife (Miranda Richardson) and his lover (Leonor Watling) in "Bastille." Juliette Binoche plays a grieving mother in Nobuhiro Suwa's "Place des Victoires," in which she's greeted by a spectral cowboy (Willem Dafoe). Richard LaGravanese's "Pigalle" finds a long-married man (Bob Hoskins) turning to a prostitute for advice on pleasing his wife (Fanny Ardant). Gérard Depardieu and Frédéric Auburtin direct Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara as longtime marrieds meeting for one final pre-divorce encounter in "Quartier Latin." Steve Buscemi learns a lesson about local etiquette in the Paris Metro in "Tuileries" from Joel and Ethan Coen. In "Loin du 16ème" by Walter Salles, a housekeeper (Catalina Sandino Moreno) longs for her own child as she tends to the infant of her wealthy employer. Elijah Wood stars in "Quartier de la Madeleine," a vampire tale from Vincenzo Natali. Wes Craven presents another fantasy in "Père-Lachaise," in which an engaged young man (Rufus Sewell) receives romantic advice from the spirit of Oscar Wilde (Alex Payne). A postal worker from Colorado (Margo Martindale) shares her thoughts on her visit to Paris in mangled French in Alexander Payne's witty "14th Arrondissement." Other segments include "Place des Fêtes" from Oliver Schmitz, Bruno Podalydès' "Montmartre," and "Quartier des Enfants Rouges" by Olivier Assayas, which stars Maggie Gyllenhaal. Paris, Je T'Aime received its world premiere at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

German filmmaker Katja von Garnier directs the HBO original movie Iron Jawed Angels, inspired by a pivotal chapter in American history. Hilary Swank plays Alice Paul, an American feminist who risked her life to fight for women's citizenship and the right to vote. She founded the separatist National Woman's Party and wrote the first equal rights amendment to be presented before Congress. Together with social reformer Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor), Paul struggled against conservative forces in order to pass the 19th amendment to the Constitution of the United States. One of their first actions was a parade on President Woodrow Wilson's (Bob Gunton) inauguration day. The suffragettes also encountered opposition from the old guard of the National American Women's Suffrage Association, Carrie Chapman Catt (Anjelica Huston). The activists get arrested and go on a well-publicized hunger strike, where their refusal to eat earns them the title of "the iron-jawed angels." Iron Jawed Angels was screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004 before its television premiere on HBO. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood) is a veteran boxing trainer who has devoted his life to the ring and has precious little to show for it; his daughter never answers his letters, and a fighter he's groomed into contender status has paid him back by signing with another manager, leaving Frankie high and dry. His best friend and faithful employee Eddie Dupris is a former fighter who Frankie trained. In his last fight, Eddie suffered a severe injury, a fact that brings Frankie great guilt. One day, Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) enters Frankie's life, as well as his gym, and announces she needs a trainer. Frankie regards her as a dubious prospect, and isn't afraid to tell her why: he doesn't think much of women boxing, she's too old at 31, she lacks experience, and has no technique. However, Maggie sees boxing as the one part of her life that gives her meaning and won't give up easily. Finally won over by her determination, Frankie takes on Maggie, and as she slowly grows into a viable fighter, an emotional bond develops between them. When a tragedy befalls one of the three characters, each comes to a decision that shows how the relationships in the film have changed them. Adapted from a short story by F.X. Toole, a former corner man with years of experience in the fight game, Million Dollar Baby also stars Morgan Freeman, Anthony Mackie, and Mike Colter. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An estranged couple are brought back together as they run for their lives in a future world where science as well as emotions have gone haywire in this sci-fi drama from director Thomas Vinterberg. In the year 2021, the world seems to have become a very strange place; an unexplained ailment is causing children to drop dead on the streets of New York, ice storms and floods strike major cities without notice, summer is marked by periodic snowfalls, and a strange hole has appeared in the Ugandan sky that causes people to loose the grip of gravity and drift off into space. In the midst of all this, internationally known figure skater Elena (Claire Danes) is getting divorced from her husband John (Joaquin Phoenix) after an 18-month separation. John has arrived in New York City to have Elena sign the divorce papers, but after finally making his way through her entourage, he discovers her to be unhappy and out of sorts, and she asks him to stay. John soon learns that Elena and her staff have a secret -- David (Alun Armstrong), her manager, has had Elena cloned, and now there are three duplicates of her to stand in if she should be killed or injured. John's discovery puts both him and Elena in grave danger, and they are soon on the run from David and his underlings. Meanwhile, Marciello (Sean Penn) ponders the unstable state of the world as he flies from one place to another after a heroic dose of pills designed to combat the fear of flying.

For his first film since 1998's Twilight, acclaimed director Robert Benton helmed this tense drama written by Fatal Attraction co-scribe Nicholas Meyer and based on the novel of the same name by Philip Roth. Set in the late '90s at the height of the Clinton sex-scandal, The Human Stain stars Anthony Hopkins as Coleman Silk, a respected professor at a New England college who suddenly finds his life unraveling after a comment he makes about some African-American students is misinterpreted as a racial slur. As the scandal heats up, Nathan Zuckerman (Gary Sinise), a writer researching a biography of Silk, begins to dig deeper and deeper into Silk's life. Eventually, matters are made worse when an affair with a young married janitor named Faunia Farley (Nicole Kidman) is exposed. But amid the controversy, Silk must struggle to keep his greatest secret, a secret he's held for the majority of his life, from becoming public. Ed Harris, who previously worked with Benton in 1984's Places in the Heart, also stars. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Three women, separated by a span of nearly 80 years, find themselves weathering similar crises, all linked by a single work of literature in this film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Cunningham. In 1923, Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman) is attempting to start work on her novel Mrs. Dalloway, in which she chronicles one day in the life of a troubled woman. But Virginia has demons of her own, and she struggles to overcome the depression and suicidal impulses that have followed her throughout her life, as her husband Leonard (Stephen Dillane) ineffectually tries to help. In 1951, Laura Brown (Julianne Moore) is a housewife living in suburban Los Angeles, where she looks after her son Richie (Jack Rovello) and husband Dan (John C. Reilly). Laura is also an avid reader who is currently making her way through Mrs. Dalloway. The farther she gets into the novel, the more Laura discovers that it reflects a dissatisfaction she feels in her own life, and she finds herself pondering the notion of leaving her life behind. Finally, in 2000, Clarissa Vaughn (Meryl Streep) is a literary editor who is caring for Richard Brown (Ed Harris), a former boyfriend and noted author, who is slowly losing his fight with AIDS. Clarissa is trying to arrange a party to celebrate the fact that Richard has won a prestigious literary award, but is getting little help from Richard's ex-lover, Louis (Jeff Daniels). As she labors to help Richard through another day, he wonders if his life is worth the unending struggle. The Hours also features Toni Collette, Miranda Richardson, Allison Janney, and Claire Danes. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Using pre-released drivers?? Post will be updated once more reviews are available. Note: Earlier drivers don't seem to allow for any control of PowerTune from CCC. It appears that driver support for that seem to start with Catalyst 188.8.131.52 RC2 Edit 2: 2 Observations so far. 1. EQAA seems to be AMD's version of CSAA. So IMO would be worth using over MSAA for a performance boost. 2. Powertuner doesn't seem to help at stock clocks. I'm guessing there maybe something there if the card is over clocked but I've not come across any reviews showing this yet.
nice collection of reviews... thanks for the effort... @eastcoasthandle-are you going to drop a few quid on a 6970, i couldnt help myself and ordered one at stupid o clock this morning... if not i've got a 5870 on ebay atm if you fancy another...
I'm still going over everything right now. Below are a list of features that are available with the card. This switch allows for a second nonprogrammable bios. What's interesting is the use of 2xEQAA for gaming should give you AA quality close to 4xMSAA but with a performance benefit. (taken from one of the reviews) The use of EQAA is compared to MSAA. (taken from one of the reviews) Power Tune is a new functioned added with CCC (not the switch on the card). This feature (as written in the slide) seems to be more apt when overclocking (when using the + aspect of Power Tune). Not for stock clocks. But the reviews I've read so far haven't explored using this feature when overclocking the card. source Edit: Check out Sapphire's Website for amd_radeon_hd_6900_series_win7_vista_dec8 drivers. Edit 2: source
very interesting info... i've been reading about voltage adustment... looks like powertune is going to need modding and the real excitement is seeing the improvement above and beyond tdp.... interesting... hopefully my card will arrive in the am tommorow, although thats an unlikely prospect... as soon as it arrives i'll start benching.... cant wait... first bit of new tech in ages...
Look forward to your findings. I'm interested to know if at +10 (according to w1z's review that's all you need) if overclocking actually improves or not in games. Versus keeping power tune at 0. ------ It's disappointing that AMD has not released a hotfix driver allowing for EQAA and MLAA for 5000 series. I thought perhaps today another drivers would be release. However, apparently they had no such thing planned.
Odd, all the sites that were doing wow benches stopped. Even tpu did the wow DX11 bench as recently as the 580 review.
i like the fact that even though there are less shaders than the 5870, the 6970 has more complex stream shaders quote from wizards review... Compared to the older VLIW5 design in which an SIMD core consisted of four simple and one complex stream processors with some common resources, the new design, dubbed VLIW4, combines four equally-capable complex stream processors, with two of the four getting special functions.
Missing a few of the more technical reviews imo. PCPer Tech Report especially David Kanter over on Real World Tech Fwiw Wizz is the only one saying 2 of 4. All other reviews I've read state 3 of 4 and this seems obvious to me in the slides.
I didn't include tech report after reading this: source That comment was so far removed from the review itself that I draw pause and decided to just omit it for the time being. The other's I've not come across yet.
i think we will be looking at a new release of graphics cards in around 6 months or whenever TMSC gets the act together and works out the 28nm or 32nm. Hopefully AMD can get out some really good drivers early that will make use of the changes they have made. Only time will tell.
I don't see how. He makes a very good point that unless sites (or anyone who posts reviews) state what they are setting it to, it just becomes another way to skew bench results does it not? Let me put it another way: I can see problems when people start overvolting their cards and even with it set to 20% max, run in to clock gating when playing a game. This will be especially interesting to see when the 6990 comes as the 300w PCIe limit is going to be obliterated with 900Mhz cores. Will 20% be enough? Will there be a higher limit then 20%? Is there any kind of work around?
Please also add the Bit-tech reviews: HD6950 HD6970 Benchmarks are lacking (something I have been quite vocal about) but the architecture analysis is there.
Sorry, but if you believe that is what he was implying then it should have been stated that way. However, that's not the case. So for now I'm not including it. Hmm, bit-tech's reviews don't offer any information as to which drivers they are using. As you can see from the OP many are using various drivers
Well I just took the plunge, I couldn't resist and ordered a 6950 with express shipping so here is to hoping I get it tomorrow and not Monday
Maybe he was imply this by that statement (Though I agree that if it was, he should have been more clear. Maybe some more time and another article will allow him to expand on that comment. This is Scott Wasson (not THG if you'll excuse the analogy) and I'd be surprised if it was just an off hand comment. Idk, maybe he just had a bad week..............but anyway.)
Now this is interesting. Not sure if there's any truth to this but still worth the look http://www.semiaccurate.com/2010/12/13/secret-amd-6900s-second-switch/
Here is a good way to get an idea of what the slider actually does: source This is a very sharp difference between his comment and someone getting down into showing data of what the slider actually does.
dude its a complete joke/troll, please stop reposting it. Is the gigantic foam switch held on with duct tape, not clue enough? let alone this bit at the end
I think he may of realised that mussles and may of found it amusing himself and perhaps not of realised everyone else ever has seen it. Way to be really patronising dude
hotfix 10.12 was updated. It is called amd_win7_vista_radeon_hd6900_188.8.131.52rc3_dec16.exe making it 2 days old. So click on the link in the news section and download them (d/l it again if you got the previous RC2 version dated Dec 9th). This is for the 6900 series.
thx for the info, gonna grab them since my 6950 will be here Monday. Damn why don't couriers work weekends

Bungie may work on other consoles, leaving Microsoft gives company "new energy"
In an interview with GI at Develop last week, Bungie lead AI programmer, Damian Isla said the company won't rule out working on other consoles in the future.
"For now we are working on Xbox 360 with Microsoft but I don't know beyond that," said Isla.
Bungie seems to be enjoying its re-discovered independence, with Isla saying the split from the Redmond giant is "like there's definitely a new energy in the company and I think that's exactly what the intention was [in going independent again]," he said.
"There's a real optimism about where we're going."

Bungie: We've got a lot to learn from CoD4
Speaking to GI at Develop last week, Bungie's lead AI programmer, Damian Isla, said that the developer has plenty to take away from Infinity Ward shooter-smash, Call of Duty 4.
"We have a lot to learn from their success," he said. "They did some very innovative things to keep people going and their experience-rewards system was something that we paid a lot of attention to.
"I think it's a great game and single player obviously is fantastic… they did a hell of a job with their set pieces, of scripting certain moments that they were really sure the player was going to actually see and experience first hand. The way that they use those moments to craft the player experience…Halo has a lot to learn from."

It was a sure hit, the game was about to be tied.
That's what everyone at Kaiser Stadium though Sunday night, even what Iona Prep pitcher Joe Finnegan conceded when Fordham Prep speedy pinch-hitter Paul Pache hit a ball deep in the hole at short with runners at the corners and two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning.
"I already put it through [to the outfield]," Finnegan said. "It was through in my head. And then I blacked out."
Vinny DeMaria had other plans. Backhanding the ball nearly at the lip of the outfield grass, the senior shortstop turned and fired towards first.
"Once I caught it, I said I'm throwing it, whether I get him or not," DeMaria said. "It was worth a shot."
Pache slid into the bag and Iona Prep first baseman Pat Decea stretched out to catch DeMaria's throw. It was a bang-bang play that couldn't have been closer.
Pache was ruled out, Iona Prep had just booked its spot in the CHSAA Class AA title game with a 1-0 win over rival Fordham Prep and DeMaria was about to realize his worst fear.
"I can't get stuck at the bottom of that pile," DeMaria thought as a kid. "I'm going to die."
And yet, that's just where he was after his spectacular play inched the Gaels one step closer to their first CHSAA title since 2003.
"I would give up anything to get that feeling again," the Iona College-bound senior said. "It was awesome."
So was DeMaria's seemingly impossible play that longtime Iona Prep coach Fred Gallo called a "game saver."
"Vinny showed up at the end with a big league play," he said. "It can't be any better."
The same could be said about Finnegan's performance on the mound. The senior right-hander stymied arguably the CHSAA's best lineup, scattering five hits in a complete-game shutout.
While he struggled with his changeup, Finnegan said his curveball was on and he was also able to throw a sinker and a fastball that got stronger as the game went on for strikes.
And to think, Gallo was set to pull Finnegan after the third inning.
"This was my game," Finnegan said. "No shot he was taking me out. I could tell you that right now."
Indeed, Finnegan and Billy Martin led the vociferous objections.
"The seniors almost attacked me," Gallo said.
Gallo's rationale, he said, was that Fordham Prep was driving the ball, albeit it at his players for outs. Still, he caved and told Finnegan to prove him wrong.
Finnegan did just that in the greatest performance of his high school career.
"He's a very gutty boy," Gallo said of Finnegan.
Sixth-seeded Iona Prep (17-6) scored the game's lone run in the third. Matt Henry, who led off with a single to right – one of only three hits given up by Rams starter A.J. Pinto – scored when Dan Fischer reached on a throwing error by Fordham Prep third baseman Ryan Mahoney.
Mahoney's throw pulled first baseman Jack Sexton off the bag for what would have been the third out. It was a call vigorously argued, but not nearly as much as the game's final play.
Still, No. 4 Fordham Prep (15-8) had a golden opportunity to tie the game when Andrew Velazquez led off the sixth by beating out a bunt on another close call at first and stealing second. The Virginia Tech-bound star shortstop reached third on an error by Finnegan, who spun and tried to pick off Velazquez at second.
But the Rams squandered two chances to drive Velazquez in from third. Finnegan got No. 3-hitter Zach Leone to ground back to the mound and cleanup hitter Sexton ended the inning with a flyout.
When Robbie Lynch hit a two-out triple to dead center in the seventh, Fordham Prep had yet another opportunity. But after Kevin Flynn was hit by a pitch, DeMaria robbed Pache to end the game.
Iona Prep reaches Friday night's title game and will meet the winner of Tuesday's elimination game between Fordham Prep and St. Joseph by the Sea. An Iona Prep loss Friday would force a decisive game Saturday.
"It's huge for us," DeMaria said of reaching the final. "I couldn't be happier, I couldn't be more excited. Since I came in here as a freshman, I played in the JV championship game as a freshman and we came up short. It's nice to get two cracks at it. Hopefully we're able to wrap one of them up."
It would also be a final shot at the title for Gallo, who is stepping down after 31 years as head coach. That's added motivation for the Gaels.
"We all want one thing and we have one more game left," Finnegan said. "We can't wait."

I liked how this product gave my cheekbones a "lift." It's a very shimmery bronzer so I don't like it for an all-over effect, but good for highlighting areas. Great in the summer over an already good glow or at the holidays when I like to layer it with a cheek stain.
This is the best highlighter I've ever used! I love the golden color and the smooth application! Brightens up my skin and leaves me glowing!
I really love the sheen this product gives cheekbones - however, I wish it was a little more prominent. Sometimes I feel like I have to put too much on to make a difference.
I am fair skinned but love having a bronzed glow! This bronzer is just the perfect touch to highlight the face with a subtle glow! Absolutely radiant! This is an all year round must have!
Sunbeam does what it claims. Gives you just simple glow. Love this!!!
I have been using benefit sun beam since college...for over 10 years. I love this stuff! I like the brush for exact application placement and then I like to blend it in with my foundation brush. It gives you a pretty tone without a face covered in glitter.
Easy to apply to the skin, goes on smooth, blends in nicely with my skin tone and gives it a light glow. I like using this with some similar products I received from BirchBox to make my face look nice and more awake.
I'm seriously obsessed with this product!! it is the perfect golden sun kissed touch that goes perfectly on the tops of the cheeks. it looks great on all skin tones and u can't wait to buy it in the full size! L ove love love!
I got a sample of the sunbeam and fell in love right away. It highlights so well and gives a great sun kissed look. Had to buy a full size and I also heard from a friend that the bottle lasts a really long time! It also helps draw attention away from my dark circles when I dab it on my cheek bones. All around great product. Thanks benefit!
I love this product. It adds just enough bronze to add some glow and you don't run the risk of looking like an Oompa Loompa.

on May 28, 2012 :
This series of books is our family's FAVORITE!!! We have 8 children ranging from 1-16 years old and ALL our kids ages 5 and up LOVE these books. We have read them out loud a number of times and the BEST part is that I have had so many opportunities of using analogies in one of the books to explain spiritual truths in the children's lives that makes SO MUCH sense to them after having read the books! This price is way too cheap for how much you will gain from it. I promise!

Michael Mann Has Trouble With Reading Comprehension
It seems that fake Nobel Prize Laureate Michael Mann has his Hockey Stick in a twist over a story at Media Trackers — Florida about the $10,000 he charges for certain speaking engagements. But let's get a couple of things straight:
1. Alyssa Carducci, the woman who wrote the story for Media Trackers — Florida, had her facts straight from the start. She explains it all here. It's the truth.
2. It somehow generates a tingle in the hockey sticks of the enviro-left (Mann, especially) to hook anything about the public debunking of climate alarmism to The Heartland Institute, and it's starting to get ridiculous.
Alyssa interned at Heartland in 2010, but now she's now a free-lance writer who contributes regularly to Heartland's publications. Like most free-lancers, Alyssa also writes for other outlets, including Media Trackers. What does it matter? Alyssa is as "affiliated" with Heartland much as Mann's favorite Associated Press reporter Seth Borenstein is "affiliated" with any paper that ran his stories on any given day.
We're proud of Alyssa's reporting. I dare say we're more comfortable with her than many of the AP's affiliates that took a pass on Seth's embarassing "Can Obama Keep Warmer Inauguration Weather Pledge?" story that ran over the wires on Friday.
One more thing: It's quite rich for Mann and his social media acolytes to compare this imaginary "controversy" to how Peter Gleick committed the crimes of fraud and theft against Heartland in the Fakegate scandal. It's even worse when Peter Gleick — an admitted fraud and thief — joins in via his Facebook account.
Shameless, this guy, considering what he's done — and what others think of him now.

"Ideal for workmen or truckers"

Clean and good hotel. Conveniently located on the way to Crater Lake. 24 hours Subway and Pilot gas station near by.Genuine Expedia guest review
It was acceptable except for one thing; we did not like their continental breakfast and wish they will upgrade and improve in the area of selection of foods. We travel alot and been to other hotels that offer a variety of foods during continental breakfast that we enjoyed.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"New and clean"
Good location , very near klamath falls. But off road , makes the hotel pretty quite.Genuine Expedia guest review

break fast was ok, other wise a good placeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"good for stopping by"
room is small but decent clean with very helpful staffsGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good for a brief stopover"
We chose this well-located motel because it was a halfway point in a long drive. It has a free breakfast, free internet, free local newspaper, and one of the best prices among the motels in the KFalls area. Amenity-wise, it was sparse, but that's not why we were here. The bathroom had one small bar of soap and no other amenities. But it was clean, we […] slept well, and the staff was very friendly. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Enjoyed our stay in Klammoth Falls. Small town with a close gas station. Room was clean and comfortable. Had a few issues with the wifi. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
When we booked the room we were assigned a room on the 3rd floor with the motel far from being full. There wasn't an elevator which would have been helpful as my wife has a hard time manipulating stairs.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Not awful, but a step down from what I expect from a Super 8...more like a Motel 6. Staff was friendly but I wouldn't stay here again, especially for the price!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Easy In, Easy Out"
Everything was wonderful, from the time I checfked in tillo I checked out(3days) it was a pleasure. Will sue this Hotel again and again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Easy to get to from the highway"
Everything was agreeable except the sleeping arrangements. The bed was extremely hard, the pillows were paper thin, and the bed was angled toward the head.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not a wise choice"
I stayed here for one night when I was interviewing for a program at OIT. This is my review in list form... -Carpet was nasty -bed said it was a queen but it was a standard -it said non smoking but smelled really bad -bathrooms were large (this was okay) -Cost affective ($$55) -Staff was great! Cheery -overall stay was not good -We didnt sleep well […] at all it made me not so sharp for my interview. Good luck... Not much for cheap hotels in Kfalls. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Well appointed rooms"
We were very happy with the quality of the rooms decor, even though on the small side. It was tastefully decorated and comfortable. Met our needs. Breakfast was good. Breakfast area was small. Check-in clerk very friendly and helpful. Restaurant at end of parking lot was very good .Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to OIT and a convenience store."
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned every day and when asked, extra pillows were easily accommodated. The breakfast was decent. Would have liked to see a little more variety to add other types of breads, bagels and cream cheese. I think the smoking rooms should be separate on another floor. We could still smell smoke through […] the hallways that would also enter your room if you were right next door to a smoking room. Rates were reasonable. Would like to have more shampoo given and cups. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

decent reasonably priced hotel, nice staff very helpful.Genuine Expedia guest review
Very hard beds and pillows; no elevators for 3 floors. Staff was polite and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good stop-over."
One of the better Super8 motels we've used in the recent past. Service was good, as well as the breakfast offerings. Convenience is the best thing going for this motel, though. You don't have to fight city traffic to get in and out, as it's the first place on the outskirts of town. I'd go there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The employees were very friendly. The room a bit dated, but I think they were remodeling while we were there.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Super 8"
Bathroom was not clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Low price but you get what you pay for."
The room smelled like old tobacco smoke and industrial cleaner.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel 8"
The price was right and the staff very nice, but beyond that, the halls were extremely smokey, the bed was dreadful and the heater was very noisy. It came on often all night as it was cold, but it sounded like a space shuttle every time it came on!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stay somewhere else!"
This hotel is in mediocre shape at best. Our tub drained slowly to the point of us having to stand in several inches of water unless we were willing to wait 2 plus hours for the water to drain after the other person had showered. The ice machines don't work but you can inconvenience yourself by stopping by the front desk and they'll bring you the equivalent […] of about half of what your ice container will hold - pre-bagged. During our stay the front desk clerk seemed miffed by our three night stay resulting in our having to walk to the front desk to have the room key re-programmed each evening we returned to the property. Oh and there was no iron or ironing board in the room. This is the second Super 8 stay where I've experienced this. I was able to "borrow" an iron from the front desk that had something melted on it and no ironing board was available so I made do using the bed. I won't be choosing Super 8 again and neither should you! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Helpful information"
I checked in at 4 pm and my room wasn't ready. They seemed to have one very overworkedmperson trying to keep up with the demand. The jacuzzi was out of order and seemed to have been for quite some tome. There are 3 floors at this hotel and NO ELEVATORS so if you have heavy luggage or have physical difficulties, take note. The hotel is not very clean […] and poorly staffed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not at all what we expected"
The hotel room which we were assured when we reserved it would comfortably sleep 5 was more of a closet than a room. There was barely room for the cot provided and the clincher for the evening was finding a dirty towel from a previous guest on the back of the bathroom door. Ugh! We were very thankful this was not a hotel where we had to spend any more […] time than was required to sleep and continue our drive the next day. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Interesting Place"
Hotel was nice and staff was friendly but it sits right next to a truck stop so there is noise from big trucks during most of the night. Cost is reasonable for this inconvience and area was scenic if you like to walk or jog during your stay. During a week long stay we experienced one night where there was a fight in the hotel but the local police was […] called quickly and they were able to restore the peace. Not sure on this one, depending on the night this could be a great deal or a night from hell! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convienant & pleasant"
Super 8 in Klamath Falls is a semi-small hotel, but was pleaseantly cozy. The staff was exceptionally kind and accomidating. We checked in late and they told us since we arrived late we were more than welcome to go in the hot tub as long as we were quiet. Room is cozy and would recommend anyone to stay here!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Super 8 Klamath Falls OR"
Hotel was ez off the highway but FAR out of town with no where decent to eat near the hotel (not even a fast food chain). Grounds were in very poor condition. Room was basic and cleam but mattress was very soft and uncomfortabled. Breakfast was high on carbs with apples as the only fruit and no protein (no cheese, hard boiled eggs, etc). Very poor value […] for the price, in comparison with the several other hotels where we had stayed over the last 10 weeks. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

My friend and I visited for the Grape Ride - an annual bike ride around the area starting and finishing at nearby Renwick.

Noble Rot is a form of the botrytis cinerea fungus that can form some of the greatest sweet dessert wines in the world. For this to happen, the exact right conditions must develop, and there are only a few places in the world where this happens, most notably in Bourdeaux (Sauternes) and Germany. It requires damp mornings and dry afternoons. When this happens, the rot attacks the ripe grapes, and eats the water inside the grapes without breaking the skin. By sucking out the water, the sugar in the grape becomes concentrated, allowing a wine to be produced that is both high in alcohol and sugar. In addition, the fungus flavors the wine in it's own special way, adding notes of honey and marmalade. This process is tricky, and requires a great deal of hand-picking. Pickers must go through the vineyard several times, each time picking only those grapes that are affected by the rot in just the right way. Some years the fungus just isn't created, and entire crops are lost. Because of the unpredictability, and extreme level of care required to produce these wines, they are always very expensive. And they are amazing!
