Adventure is only limited by imagination in this exciting animated fantasy from The Goonies writer Chris Columbus. Warmly welcomed to the Kingdom of Slumberland by the king himself, young Nemo is christened heir to the throne and given a magical key that will open any door in the kingdom. Though Nemo is warned not to open the one door with the power to destroy Slumberland, temptation proves too strong and the king is kidnapped as a black cloud of nightmares washes over the formerly idyllic dreamscape. Now, if Nemo is to reverse his error and bring the king back alive, he must rally his friends and journey deep into Nightmare Land to face his ultimate fear. Will dreams ever return to Slumberland, or has Nemo's folly set into motion an irreversible, eternal echo of nightmares and chaos? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man finds himself living among the animals and enchanted spirits of the rainforest, and learns of the true consequences of human destruction in this animated adventure. Crysta (voice of Samantha Mathis) is a young fairy who is being tutored in the powers of magic by the older and wiser Magi (voice of Grace Zabriskie) in an Amazon rain forest. While their home was once on the verge of destruction thanks to the evil spirit Hexxus (voice of Tim Curry), the demon has been trapped inside a tree, and Crysta is free to play with her friends Batty Koda (voice of Robin Williams), a bat who escaped from an animal testing facility, and Pips (voice of Christian Slater), who has obvious romantic intentions toward the attractive young sprite. However, a clear-cutting crew destroys the tranquil peace of the rainforest, and when Crysta sees a runaway logging machine about to run over lumberjack Zak (voice of Jonathan Ward), she saves his life by shrinking him to her own size. However, Crysta isn't able to bring Zak back to his normal size, so he's forced to live among the forest creatures and learn first-hand the devastation the humans have brought to this world -- especially when the loggers accidentally free Hexxus from captivity. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The voices of Carol Channing, John Hurt, Jodi Benson and Gilbert Gottfried help bring this wonderful Hans Christian Andersen story to life. Barry Manilow contributed heavily to the film's music. Children still seem to enjoy this story about a young girl who was the size of a human thumb. She was kidnapped by a toad, just when she hoped to continue her life with Cornelius the Fairy Prince. This is a good "family film" with few, if any, parts that might be considered questionable for children. Kids are likely to enjoy how Gilbert Gottfried does the voice of a strange beetle and how Carol Channing breathes life into Ms. Fieldmouse. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi

History gets the Disney kiddie treatment and a politically correct interpretation in the studio's 33rd feature-length animated movie, the first to be based on actual events and people. Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) is the daughter of Algonquin chief Powhatan (Russell Means), who promises her in marriage to Kocoum, a brave whom she doesn't love. Pocahontas would rather be paddling in her canoe or wandering in the forest, communing with nature and her animal pals, Meeko, a raccoon, and the hummingbird Flit. When European settlers arrive, she becomes enamored of handsome John Smith (Mel Gibson). Their attraction is encouraged by Grandmother Willow (Linda Hunt), a talking tree. The situation between their peoples is tense, however, as the settlers, led by Governor Ratcliffe (David Ogden Stiers) desperately want the gold that they're sure the natives are concealing. When a dutiful sentry, Thomas (Christian Bale) follows Smith into the woods on one of his secret meetings with Pocahontas, a tragic mistake leads both groups to the brink of war. Only the love of Pocahontas and Smith can prevent bloodshed. Pocahontas (1995) was awarded two Oscars, for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score and Best Original Song for "Colors of the Wind." ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

A young pig fights convention to become a sheep dog -- or, rather, sheep pig -- in this charming Australian family film, which became an unexpected international success due to superior special effects and an intelligent script. The title refers to the name bestowed on a piglet soon after his separation from his family, when he finds himself on a strange farm. Confused and sad, Babe is adopted by a friendly dog and slowly adjusts to his new home. Discovering that the fate of most pigs is the dinner table, Babe devotes himself to becoming a useful member of the farm by trying to learn how to herd sheep, despite the skepticism of the other animals and the kindly but conventional Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell). Because technically impeccable animatronics and computer graphics allow the farm animals to converse easily among themselves, first-time director Chris Noonan can treat the film's menagerie as actual characters, playing scene not for cuteness but for real emotions. The result is often surprisingly touching, with Noonan and George Miller's script, based on Dick King-Smith's children's book and, indirectly, a true story, seamlessly combining gentle whimsy and sincere feeling. These same qualities are embodied by in Cromwell's beautifully understated performance as Farmer Hoggett, which anchors the film. Despite its unlikely premise and low profile, Babe's inspirational story was embraced by audiences and critics, and the movie became an international sleeper that won an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. It was followed in 1999 by the less successful Babe: Pig in the City. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Balto is an animated trifle, based loosely on a true story from the 1920s, that may offer some amusement for young children. A live-action intro and outro set the stage for the story of Balto (voiced by Kevin Bacon), a stray who's half dog and half wolf, who is shunned as a half-breed outcast by both humans and his own kind. Balto does have some friends, like the goose Boris (Bob Hoskins) and two polar bears named Muk and Luk (Phil Collins), but he is particularly resented by canine pack leader Steele (Jim Cummings), with whom he is competing for the affections of Jenna (Bridget Fonda). He eventually becomes a hero when he guides a medication-carrying sled to a townful of sick kids in the wilds of Alaska. The film features a number of positive messages (subtlety is not its strong point), but it may not feature enough humor or excitement to keep anyone but the very smallest viewers engrossed. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Babe: Pig in the City

Add Babe: Pig in the City to top of Queue
The 1995 Academy award-winning film Babe was Australian-made and featured the latest in talking animal anima-tronics. It told the heart-warming story of a sheepherding pig named Babe and his rise to community fame. The film was a tremendous hit, both financially and critically. Babe: Pig in the City is the higher budgeted American-made sequel that picks up where the original left off. It was directed by George Miller (Mad Max trilogy) who produced the original Babe film, and received a lot of criticism for being much darker than the original. The story owes more to George Orwell's Animal Farm or Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist than the original film. Having triumphed at the National Sheepdog trials, Babe returns home a hero. But after farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell) suffers from a farming accident, Mrs. Hoggett, a naive portly woman, is left to work the ranch alone. It's not long before the bank comes knocking. Desperate to save her farm from foreclosure, she accepts an offer for Babe to perform his sheepherding abilities at an overseas state fair. Babe, Mrs. Hoggett, Ferdinand the duck, and the singing mice travel across the ocean to a surreal metropolis, where they suddenly become stranded and separated. Soon Babe is performing with circus apes, being chased by wild strays (sounding a lot like Marlon Brando in The Godfather), and making a new wheelchair-bound canine friend (voiced by Adam Goldberg). He also is anointed leader of the animal community. What Babe lacks in street smarts he makes up for in honest goodness as he teaches audiences yet again that "an unprejudiced heart can mend a broken world." ~ Arthur Borman, Rovi

This talking-animal action comedy from Lawrence Guterman, the co-director of Antz (1998), follows on the heels of the Babe and Dr. Dolittle films. Unknown to humans, a secret war has been raging between cats and dogs for eons, but a fragile truce has long held the order of the animal kingdom in place. Now the balance of power has tipped, as a researcher, Professor Brody (Jeff Goldblum), is about to invent a vaccine that will erase all human allergies to dogs. This is too much for the autocratic Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes), a white Persian kitty bent on world domination. The Brody home becomes ground zero for the renewed conflict between feline and canine, with a young Beagle puppy named Lou (Tobey Maguire) caught in the middle as the new point man for his species' cause. Cats and Dogs co-stars Elizabeth Perkins and Alexander Pollock, as well as the vocal talents of Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Jon Lovitz, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Joe Pantoliano. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, the impish impresarios of gross-out comedy, take their body function-inspired humor to new extremes in this mixture of live action and animation. Bill Murray stars as Frank, a zoo worker suffering from the effects of an unknown malady he contracted after eating an egg contaminated with simian saliva. Unknown to Frank, the inside of his body is actually a city (the City of Frank) teeming with cellular life, where the mysterious illness he's fighting is an invading enemy that must be defeated at all costs. It's up to Osmosis Jones (voice of Chris Rock), a white blood cell cop, and Drix (voice of David Hyde Pierce), a rookie over-the-counter medication, to hunt down and stop a lethal virus (Laurence Fishburne) who's got an inferiority complex. Along the way, the partners visit Frank's runny nostrils (Booger Dam) and a bar called, appropriately enough, the Zit. Osmosis Jones costars Molly Shannon and Chris Elliott, and features the vocal talents of William Shatner, producer Joel Silver, and singer Brandy Norwood. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

In a land where cartoon characters and flesh-and-blood people work side by side, one little black duck lands in a big pot of trouble in this comedy, which brings the beloved Looney Tunes characters into the real world. Daffy Duck (voice of Joe Alaskey) has grown tired of his status as Warner Bros.' leading avian second fiddle and demands that if he can't be given equal billing with his rival Bugs Bunny (also voiced by Alaskey), he wants to be released from his contract. Kate Houghton (Jenna Elfman), Warners' vice president in charge of comedy, is way ahead of Daffy and orders studio stuntman D.J. Drake (Brendan Fraser) to kick the duck off the studio lot. D.J. soon discovers getting rid of Daffy is no easy task, and the duck is in tow when Drake makes a startling discovery -- his father Damien Drake (Timothy Dalton), a movie star best know for playing ultra-suave secret agents, really
a secret agent, and he's been kidnapped by Mr. Chairman (Steve Martin), the evil leader of the monolithic Acme Corporation. Damien knows the secret hiding place of the priceless Blue Monkey Diamond and Mr. Chairman will stop at nothing to get it, so D.J. and Daffy set out to rescue Damien and save the diamond, one step behind Acme's musclemen and one step ahead of Kate and Bugs, who now realize how important Daffy is to the Looney Tunes franchise. Looney Tunes: Back in Action also stars Heather Locklear as a lounge singer working for Yosemite Sam (voice of Steve Babiar), Joan Cusack, John Cleese, Stan Freberg, and Roger Corman. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The cranky beast with a heart of gold returns to the big screen in this sequel to the computer-animated smash hit Shrek. After massive green ogre Shrek (voice of Mike Myers) and his new bride, Princess Fiona (voice of Cameron Diaz), return from their honeymoon, they receive an invitation to visit Fiona's parents, King Harold (voice of John Cleese) and Queen Lillian (voice of Julie Andrews), who are the monarchs of The Land Far, Far Away. However, the king and queen are more than a bit alarmed to discover their new son-in-law is a monster the color of algae, and that their daughter's little problem with a magical spell gone wrong has turned into a full-time skin condition. Certain this isn't the sort of "happily ever after" they dreamed of for their daughter, King Harold decides to take Shrek out of the picture and return Fiona to her former beauty with the help of Prince Charming (voice of Rupert Everett), the Fairy Godmother (voice of Jennifer Saunders), and ogre-slaying feline Puss in Boots (voice of Antonio Banderas). Shrek 2 also features the voice of Eddie Murphy returning as Donkey, as well as Larry King as an Ugly Stepsister. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A handful of zoo animals leave behind their well-protected environment for the streets of the big city in this computer-animated comedy. Sampson (voice of Kiefer Sutherland) is the king of a make-believe jungle far from the African plains -- he's a lion on display at a zoo in New York City's Central Park, and he lords it over the other animals, including Nigel (voice of Eddie Izzard), a testy koala bear; Larry, a dumb but well-meaning snake; ; Bridget (voice of Janeane Garofalo), a bright but cynical giraffe; and Benny (voice of Jim Belushi), a very New York-ish squirrel who is good friends with Sampson and is trying to romance Bridget without much success. The pride and joy of Sampson's life is his son, Ryan (voice of Greg Cipes), and he's devastated when one day Ryan is crated up and shipped back to Africa. Sampson is desperate to find his boy, and with the help of his pals he escapes the zoo and sets out on a daring mission to rescue Ryan, battling the unfamiliar terrain and Kazar, a wildebeest with a will to power and a passion for choreography (voice of William Shatner) along the way. The Wild was the first directorial credit for animator and special-effects artist Steve "Spaz" Williams. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Along the way, the young adventurer crosses paths with the Lorax (voice of Danny DeVIto), a diminutive, mustached defender of nature who doesn't take kindly to human intruders. The better Ted gets to know the Lorax, however, the more he learns that his newfound friend has good reason for being a bit surly.

Indeed, with most consumer operating systems (e.g. Windows), disk and network errors are silently retried, and with the relatively low disk and network rates for most desktop applications, you'd never notice a, say, 1% error rate, since the few milliseconds added for the retry probably isn't significant in the several second response time expected by the user. I doubt most users would notice the difference between it taking 1 second to paint a web page and 1.01 seconds. It has to get really, really bad before there is a user noticeable degradation, probably on the order of 20-30% loss. In the server case, and particularly in the computationally intensive cluster computing area, where you are loading up the machines to the limit (or, at least, you're trying to), and you've got users (i.e. system admins) who are sensitive to small variations in performance, that 1% error rate would be quite noticeable, particularly if it causes cascading problems which amplify it. (Nobody would notice if I worked 1% slower at my desk, due to slightly slower network or disk speed, since the uncertainty in my work output (per unit time) is much much greater than that.) This just goes to show that good performance monitoring tools that let you see the raw error rates are important.

If you thought that Scream & Shout was infectious, just wait until you watch this leaked video of the remix. Britney and will.i.am kill it in the original and this time around Scream & Shout features Lil' Wayne, Diddy, Waka Flocka, and Hit-Boy. The video takes visual cues from the first video and makes it a little more simpler (and less product placement-y) which makes it all around a better track and video.
Watch the video and be prepared to… you know the rest.

Is it possible to experience life changing weight loss? IrvingiAppress emphatically answers, "YES"! The team of experts behind IrvingiAppress has created a unique fat burning formula featuring the amazingly innovative weight loss properties of African Mango Extract (also known as Irvingia Gabonensis).
After numerous clinical studies, the scientists behind IrvingiAppress have come up with a powerful weight loss formula. In order to accomplish this tremendous feat, they have utilized the hottest discovery in the diet pill industry -- Irvingia Gabonensis.
But What is the Secret?
Irvingia Gabonensis is considered the "best natural fat-loss remedy in 25 years"! This new ingredient is your secret weapon to losing weight and burning fat safely and effectively. The extract derived from the seed of the African Mango has been shown in numerous studies to help users shed pounds and burn inches of belly fat through appetite suppression and increased metabolic rate. African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) even contains cholesterol lowering properties and has the ability to regulate blood sugar levels.
Known in the scientific community as Irvingia Gabonensis, the fruit is commonly eaten by the natives in West Africa. Recent lab reports have shown that the extracts from the plant's seed can slow body fat production by producing favorable changes in Glycerol-3 Phosphate, Leptin, PPAR Gamma, and Adiponectin.
Because IrvingiAppress attacks weight loss from so many different angles, it's impossible to go wrong. IrvingiAppress boosts the metabolism so you can increase your overall calorie burn, it attacks stubborn fat cells so you can notice a decrease in "real" weight, not just water retention, it also inhibits fat storage and importantly suppresses the appetite so you can lower your calorie consumption without feeling hungry and irritable throughout the day. IrvingiAppess is the first African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) Diet Pill to take such a straight-forward, natural approach to weight loss.
The Scientifically Tested & Clinically Proven Ingredients
IrvingiAppress contains two of the most potent natural weight loss ingredients on the market, African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) Extract and Green Tea. Although still relatively new to the diet industry, Irvingia Gabonensis has undergone extensive testing and has been through several clinical trials that have proven the effectiveness of this powerful ingredient. Likewise, Green Tea has gone through countless scientific studies that have all proven what practitioners of ancient Chinese medicine have known for thousands of years, that Green Tea is a potent fat burner, appetite suppressant, and antioxidant and that its health benefits extend far beyond the realm of weight loss. Both of these ingredients work synergistically to increase fat burn, lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and help you reach your weight loss goals safely and effectively.
Both African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) and Green Tea, when used in excess, can lead to minor side effects which include flatulence, headaches and restlessness. When used as directed, IrvingiAppress is 100% safe and side-effect free.
African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis)
This one of a kind weight loss ingredient has proven to help you lose upwards of 25 Pounds! Irvingia Gabonensis is a West and Central African tree that yields fruit known as the wild mango or bush mango. Recently discovered to have amazing weight loss properties, more and more studies are backing the claims that African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) extract aids with weight loss. African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) extract works by supporting Leptin sensitivity. in order to control the appetite and lowers caloric intake. The high concentration of soluble fiber in African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) works as a bulk-forming laxative to dramatically suppress the appetite.
African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) extract is an all-natural ingredient and 100% safe for healthy adults to aid in weight loss, fat burning, and in the reduction of high cholesterol and high blood sugar. In a 10-week study, individuals using African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) lost an average of 28.1 lbs compared to a placebo group that averaged just 1.5 lbs. of weight loss. Waist size, cholesterol levels and body fat percentage were all significantly lower in the African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis) group as well. Click here for clinical research on Irvingia Gabonensis.
Green Tea
Clinical trials have been shown to significantly reduce weight, waist line, body fat and visceral fat area. Green Tea has been used in Asia for more than 5,000 years as an overall health enhancement supplement. Green Tea is proven to improve the digestive system, circulatory health and more in addition to aiding with weight loss.
A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Am J Clin Nutr; 81:122-129), showed that the ingestion of Green Tea, which is rich in catechins, also lowers body fat and cholesterol levels. Green Tea is proven to increase energy expenditure and reduce respiratory quotient. A 12-week study conducted on the possible benefits of Green Tea in males showed a significant reduction in both body weight and body fat. lick here for clinical research on Green Tea.
Results in the Testimonials may not be typical and your results may vary. Not all people will obtain the same results and these supplements are intended to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
IrvingiAppress definitely helped me to lose weight. I've failed to lose weight in the past because I've had a hard time sticking to a diet and exercise plan, but with IrvingiAppress, I had more focus and motivation to eat healthy and stay active because I was seeing results. Originally, I thought my weight gain was due to hormones so I consulted a dietician who encouraged me to make changes in my diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle in order to battle my genetics. And those small changes were a big part of it. But IrvingiAppress made losing weight significantly easier, and I was able to lose about 17 extra pounds in my first month using it. Since then, I feel like there is not as much weighing me down and I definitely have more energy. And all in all, it's definitely clear that I'm seeing the weight loss that I want.
- Brandy Lee
When using IrvingiAppress, I definitely noticed a more direct and natural approach to weight loss. But this supplement is much more than that. While using IrvingiAppress I've also seen my cholesterol levels take a drop and my blood sugar has been less likely to spike and drop after meals. My energy levels are up and I haven't been craving junk food late at night like I usually do. With IrvingiApperss I have been able to consistently lose weight over the months that I've been taking it. I have found that my body has definitely changed in more ways than one, and even at this weight, my cholesterol levels have never been this good.
- Jace
IrvingiAppress has made a definite difference in my life because I keep seeing results. I've struggled with my weight for a long time now, and not being able to shed the extra pounds was extremely frustrating and discouraging. The other weight loss products I tried in the past caused side effects that I hated, and there hasn't been a specific diet that has worked for me yet. But after I found IrvingiAppress, I've found that things have changed. It's been easier to stick to my diet, and it seems like some of the same diets I've used before are much more effective than they used to be. I don't have so many struggles with cravings, and I have found that this product definitely delivers more than I ever thought.

Q. Do I need to exercise and eat healthy to see results?
Like all diet and weight loss supplements, IrvingiAppress works best when it is used in addition to a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

For the past year through his new role at the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Matt Haggman has been a man on a mission — to help put Miami's startup community on the map.
As the Knight Foundation's Miami program director, Haggman has been the face of the foundation's new efforts to accelerate a technology hub and startup community in South Florida. Haggman and Ben Wirz, Knight's director of business consulting, set out to make foundation investments in key areas so that entrepreneurs would have places to meet, collaborate and learn and programs and networks offering access to mentorship, training and investor funding. The ultimate goal is a robust, sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The office's biggest investment so far: $2 million over five years, to bring Endeavor, the global nonprofit, to Miami to mentor, promote and accelerate high-impact entrepreneurs. Endeavor, which launched in Latin America in the late '90s and now has operations in 14 countries around the world, chose Miami for its first U.S. office. Haggman said it all started with a get-to-know-one-another meeting with Peter Kellner, the co-founder of Endeavor, who now lives in South Florida, in the lobby of a Miami Beach hotel last spring. With more study, which included a trip to Mexico City to interview entrepreneurs, leaders and mentors involved with the program, "I became convinced this is the perfect thing for Miami," said Haggman, a former Miami Herald reporter.
The foundation has also invested in a co-working campus, The LAB Miami in Wynwood, and has been sponsoring dozens of events, contests and organizations around town. For nearly a year, Haggman and Richard Florida, the urban affairs expert and author, had been discussing and planning the recent Startup City: Miami, a day-long event that drew more than 1,000 people. And there's more to come: "We're just getting started," Haggman says.
Haggman answered some questions recently about the Knight Foundation's current projects in entrepreneurship and offered some thoughts about the entrepreneurial community.
Q. Let's go back a little bit. Why did the Knight Foundation's Miami office choose entrepreneurship as a focus?
A. Our mission at Knight Foundation is helping create more informed and engaged communities. With that in mind, in each city we work, we try to develop a locally-focused initiative that builds on trends in that particular city and in an area where we can have an impact.
For the past five years, we've helped develop the local arts scene in Miami. As we looked around a year ago, we saw a great opportunity in widening our lens on the creative community to focus on helping build the startup and entrepreneurial community — from social entrepreneurs to for-profit efforts.
Q. The Knight Foundation seems to be a sponsor of entrepreneurship events all over town, from the AT&T Hackathon, the NewME Pop-up Accelerator, TekFight, HackDay and the Americas Venture Capital Conference to the recent Startup City: Miami, last week's SuperConf and many others. Is that by design?
A. Yes, it is by design. One of the pillars of our strategy is to make it easier for entrepreneurs to connect, exchange ideas and learn from each other. A fundamental challenge is that we as a community are siloed and quite fragmented, yet the elements are all here. To remedy that, we're looking to increase the frequency, quality and variety of convenings in the startup community.

I really find it strange that in a 2012/2013 car there is no hill-hold feature standart. Does anybody know how the braking system of the Model S works? Is the braking pedal mechanical connected to device (magnetic or hydraulic) that activates and releases the brakes or is the pedal just connected to a sensor that sends an electrical signal to the braking device? In the latter case it should not be difficult to program a delay of 2-3 seconds between the release of the brake pedal and the release of the brake and should not take long to develop and implement.
My wife's Toyota Highlander has this feature, and while not always needed it is very intuitive and useful when it is needed. When stopped waiting for a light, your right foot is on the brake where it should be. Just as your light turns green you increase pressure on the brake till you hear a beep. The car automatically holds the brake for just a second, just enough time for you to get to the gas. It's probably needed much more in the hybrids because of the time delay of the engine starting up and developing torque. At first you might think why push on the brake as the light turns green? But the whole thing happens so fast no one honking at you to move. This should a simple implementation.
Personally I wouldn't need it as I drove a standard for years.
I find many of the comments here to be more derogatory than I expected. To state that hill assist us only needed for owners that don't know how to drive is not helpful to the dialog. I've driven manual autos most of my life. As with others, my "promotion" of hill assist is based on my positive experience with it. Hill assist is a safety feature that will undoubtably reduce stress and anxiety when parked in inclines. It will reduce or eliminate a certain number of accidents. It is very helpful when parallel parking on an incline. As with creep, heated seats, Xenon lights, air bags, power steering, GPS and other such "extravagances", there will be many drivers that will want it and some that don't.
I agree with djm12. Just because you've never needed hill-hold doesn't mean those that are used to it are bad drivers. It's a very nice feature and would be useful, especially for the occasional driver of your S that had that feature in their daily driver.
Can't we just wrap this thread up agreeing that it is not a "deficiency" but would be a "very useful feature" if it could be added via a software update, and like creep, could be enabled selectively by the driver?
Uh, Brian: The wire is one hundred and one feet long.
markapeterman wins
+1 for hill hold/hill assist.
If Tesla modified creep torque based on the angle of the vehicle, it would be appreciated.
Mark & tork;
You cheated! You made the expression plural. >;p :D
I think teddyg's idea is elegent: if you are in drive, apply torque so the car does not roll backward, and if in reverse, apply torque so that the car does not roll forward. There is a down-side: if a Tesla driver borrows their friend's automatic ICE car, they may get a surprise when it rolls back! They may just roll two feet, long enough to scare them. Oops! Brian, I did it again!
Two is fine. Rolling one feet is forbidden. So is one feet on the goose pedal.
If my foot is not on the go pedal, or the brake, then I want the car to freewheel in whatever direction gravity is pulling. If I want the car to stop, I will press the brake, if I want the drive motor to move me in one direction or the other, I will push the go pedal.
To my way of thinking, hill hold is unneeded, and unwelcome, as it involves the car doing something that I am not in control of.
@ Vawlkus
Agree 100% Bravo !!!
Brian - that was a typo - the qualifier was intended to be "when you aren't in reverse".
That way, hill assist doesn't interfere with intended reverse maneuvers.
RE Creep on hills, does anyone know if it applies throttle or brakes while on a hill? Throttle is what's used on level ground, and I'd guess that's what you are feeling on a hill with it. If so, that's not as good as brakes since it consumes a lot more power.
I have lots of personal experience with manual transmissions in places like San Francisco. I know quite well how to perform the transitions smoothly, but I don't think it's any less manly to appreciate convenience. I delegate a lot of stuff I can do myself for the liberty to focus on other things.
In any case, it's easy enough to reconcile different preferences with config options, and make everyone happy.
TM and the EV will drive fundamental innovations in the user interface for piloting a vehicle. As long as a new paradigm actually works better, (like regen), change is a good thing.

Throttle is what's used on level ground, and I'd guess that's what you are feeling on a hill with it. If so, that's not as good as brakes since it consumes a lot more power.
If by "a lot" you mean barely enough to possibly measure after a few hours, ya.
Here is the answer from Tesla:
Hi Peter,
Douglas forwarded your question to me, I'd be happy to assist. I went ahead and contacted our development team, but they unfortunately do not have an update with a ETA on when that feature will be implemented. It is a request we have heard from many customers and one that we are pursuing, but for right now we don't have a set time frame for its release. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I'm a-ok with Tesla's response. If we design a car by committee, we get one really terrible car. Our feedback on what we like/dislike is valuable and I have 100% confidence that Tesla can sort it out.
Left foot brake, right foot accelerator. Hill assist is a handicap of a convenience. Be more self aware of your driving habits...
@LK - Left foot brake, right foot accelerator: Model S complains and threatens to shut down if you don't stop doing it...
@pahlemann@seque... - Thanks for posing your response from Tesla. It is excellent news to hear they are pursuing hill hold functionality. We were told this several months ago which is why it's a Punch List item. The response you received confirms they will eventually get it done. We just need to be patient.
Peter - Thanks for the post from TM - sounds good. A validation that they too recognize its value.
Brian - the power needed to hold with motor torque is nontrivial.
If you're on a 15% grade and calculate the steady state force needed to resist the hill-aligned-vector portion of the total 4600 lbs gravity force, it's significant.
Roughly equivalent to the force needed to sustain several miles per hour on level ground. Braking to hold the hill is far more efficient.
That is why TM will do it.
Sounds like hill assist will be a future feature. Disable it if you don't WANT to use it.
Freedom of choice; it's a beautiful thing!
@nickjhowe. I read that as we'll. But, your options are limited. As long as your not mashing the gas, you don't have to worry about the firing off of a light and your car turning off...
You have hill hold. It's called the accelerator. Works fine in Colorado mountains. Should work in SF, too.
+1 JaneW
I see two problems here, many new owners come from green cars like Prius and Volt, other buyers like me are changing similar value cars like Mercedes, BMW, Jags, Audi and so on. This simple features like hill assistant are standard from years and asking for this technological awesome car to have it is not big deal. Is software that is it. That is the difference between a luxury car and standard automobile.Whit the same argument I can say Why internet access I have my Ipad!! why parking sensors I have mirrors!! Why electronic seats I have hands!! why electronic trunk I have hands too!! Today luxury car means way higher safety than a regular automobiles.
Saying that this is the reply I got from Tesla.
Thank you for reaching out to us at Tesla Motors, my name is Peter, I work on the Ownership Experience team, and I am happy to answer your question. At this time Model S does not have a "hill hold assist" feature. However, this is a much requested enhancement of our vehicle and I have added your expressed interest to our feedback database for our software management team.

Some really dumb comments on here about creep fixing hill assist, it's okay if you roll back a little bit, don't know how to drive if you roll back. No, no, no.
We need hill start. Creep assist doesn't fix it. It's dangerous and the driver shouldn't be doing clever stuff to compensate.
Creep assist it does not compensate for steep hill or steep parking exits as far as I know. I still waiting for my MS, perhaps some owners can clarify.

Frame Tent
Frame Tents are a cost-effective and reliable tenting solution. They use a solid frame, and have no internal poles - this makes them a great alternative to pole tents. They can be fitted with custom fabric, doors and even window walls.
For more information, please visit our Frame Tent Page or Contact Us.
Clear Span Structure
Clear Span Structures are engineered modular structures with no internal poles or external ropes. Wall and roof fabric fit within the frame's track for a very professional and clean look. They can also be retrofitted with glass walls, hard walls, doors and other elements that give the structure a permanent look.
For more information, please visit our Clear Span Structure Page or Contact Us.
Double Decker Structure
Double Decker Structures take tenting to a whole new level. Imagine being able to create an exclusive level for VIPs, a raised vantage point for the media or an unobstructed view of the lower floor for guests!
For more information, please visit our Double Decker Structure Page or Contact Us.
Arabesque Tent
Arabesque Tents provide total drama. The fabric is ideal for theatrical lighting projections and the shape is so visually distinct and breathtaking you're guaranteed to get "WOW"s.
For more information, please visit our Arabesque Tent Page or Contact Us.
Flat Top Facade
Flat Top Facades mask the gabled end of a clear span structure and create a rectangular-looking structure, so you get a tent that doesn't look like a tent.
For more information, please visit our Flat Top Facade Page or Contact Us.
Sky Suite
Sky Suites are commonly used for spectator sports like auto racing and golf. They can be installed on top of scaffolding, on multiple leg heights, to allow for tiered seating solutions so your spectators can see the whole event, without getting rained on!
For more information, please visit our Sky Suites Page or Contact Us.

NEW DELHI (AFP) - Indian police on Sunday banned protests in central New Delhi following a wave of violent demonstrations over the savage gang-rape of a medical student a week ago, an official statement said.
Areas close to the President's residence and the Parliament have been declared off-limits to protesters, it said, a day after police tear-gassed, baton-charged and fired water cannon at demonstrators.
Thousands of protesters, most of them college students, rallied at the India Gate monument in the heart of the Indian capital on Saturday, demanding the death penalty for the accused and better safety for women.
Early on Sunday morning, police cordoned off all the routes leading to landmark government buildings and said they had detained a group of protesters citing the prohibitory orders.

Transportation improvements coming to U.S. Highway 41
Cobb County, Cumberland Community Improvement District, state officials and a representative from the Atlanta Braves celebrated the start of the $35 million widening of U.S. Highway 41 last week. U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson was the keynote speaker for the event. The project, scheduled for completion in 2017, will widen the area from Paces Mill to Akers Mill Roads to six lanes and add a multi-use trail. It is part of $52 million in enhancements to the U.S. Highway 41 corridor. These planned improvements will create long-term benefits for the northwest corridor, including safer traffic flow

Second is using the very command in the very script. My question was if it really works. I did some tests myself and (at least with those skills I tried it - aimingAccuracy, aimingShake, aimingSpeed) I wasn't able to determine if it works at all.Originally Posted by (Doolittle @ Jan. 28 2008,21:24)
I think I'll do some more tests.
Blessed are those who have nothing to say but yet remain silent.
Yep, the suppression scripts do use a lot of CPU... I had almost +50% in FPS without it
As of now, I can't really tell the difference with sqf, as I'm still trying to make it run without bugs ! Some things seem to be easier in sqs
I was using the setSkill array command. During the release of TrueRangeAi I was using during the filming of Mod Retalliation with and without TrueRangeAi. The one noticeable difference is the spotDistance. Run ArmA without TrueRangeAi, then try using the spotDistance at 1 - engaging ranges, if I remember correctly, were much higher.Originally Posted by (Doolittle @ Jan. 28 2008,12:24)
Malick that's great to know someone is working on the suppression pack, I have used it but once or twice - due to lack of time but it seems like a great pack. Would be great to have Ai on your team affected by the suppression fire.
Okay, I am forum lurking lol.
Great Work *** but big battles not possible
need ***to much performance ***
Hi all. I just rememberred this topic and see that there has been discussions.
I've been testing it in SP (it's designed purely for SP), i've created big battles where there are aprox 400-500 guys for Blu and Red side battling together in Rahmadi (everyone shooting like mad men). No notable defference laq with and with out scripts, infact forexample FDF sound pack v 1.1 seemed to cause much more laq Well i can't tell more than about my computer and laq in that, but i was supprised how low amount it put strain to my CPU (my computer: 2.8 Ghz (AMD Sempron), 1,5 GB, ATI x800).
Infact ArmA handles scripts better than OFP (i wrote it to OFP too), in it laq became quite notable with 200 men.
However, like Dwarden said there is this error:

Code Sample

Error in expression <_skill_bank = (sup_skillarray select _man)>
Error position: <select _man)>
Error Zero divisor[/QUOTE]
Seems to cause severe laq. I don't know from where it comes from, my guess is respawn and/or creating units and that it gives several scripts for one group somehow overwrites arrays or something (i really can't tell).
I haven't been able to produce that error in testing condition.
Lecholas: Those arrays with setskills haven't shown any effect in my tests, i've left them there for that miracle that BIS finally makes them working.
\"on se saatanaa, että kansa on pieni\"
Hi Second, nice to see you here !
Regarding the error you are talking about, it's due to a group spawning/appearing when the game has already started, with a slight delay between each unit. The script tries to reach the skill of the unit number _select_man, which has been created after the script launch. This happens particularly with DAC or any dynamic mission.
I'm currently translating these scripts in sqf, with some addition to them. I'm still struggling with the main script (suppression_m.sqs) as it has a lot of interlaced loops ! But I believe an updated release is close, if you see no problem
Hi MalickOriginally Posted by (Malick @ Feb. 13 2008,09:47)
I don't see anykind problem, so keep on working and publishing what you can make. You and anybody else really shouldn't even be asking my permission
As someone might have quessed i'm not scripting for ArmA anymore, so it's good to see that there are others who keeps on working with ArmA.
Ah! So that is the source of error, never did that come to my mind and it's soooo logical and easy explanation
Ps. About these "copyrights": i'm not demanding anyone to ask permission form me with tweaking and publishing scripts and i'm not demanding to keep the name as second's suppression pack. If, forexample, Malick wishess to make 'Malick's suppression pack' he has every right to do so. I don't actually know community's rules on this one, but they can't forbit this, can they? This just in case that person can't get contact with me.
Yeah Malick mate, please do share your updated works because in a wee bit im going to change from design phase into development phase

Hehe, nice, Sickboy.
I'll try to hurry a bit more tonight so that I can finish the main script in sqf. I'm slowly learning the sqf syntax and coding habits...
As you said, I believe many data are already collected somewhere by other scripts. Instead of each and avery addon collecting the same data, it's way better to have it all regrouped, then dispatched to the "effects" section.
I'm sure the impact on the CPU will be much lower if such "collection" and "effect" are regrouped into an addon combo, very much like 6th sense. Eventually, your mod turns into ArmA's ECP
I'll keep you informed with what I manage to code tonight and release whatever is ready by this week end. By the way, thank you Second for your 'permanent agreement'. I don't think anything is against it, by forum rules or EULA, or whatever !

Jakes never disappoints, but the last few times I went with my kids so not as relaxing for me :) but this time was grown-ups only & I loved it!
Had dinner Sunday night in November. The place was crowded and had a good feeling. The service was nice and "homey" in a good way. The seafood was good and our 9 yo son loved the whole lobster ... which by the way was about $20 which is a great deal. Overall a good dinner and would recommend to friends.
We had a very nice lunch here with windows overlooking the harbor. They provided both lunch and dinner menus and I ordered the Lobster salad sandwich from the dinner menu which was more complex than the lobster roll and was delicious. My husband found his chowder and crabcakes outstandingl. Service was friendly and good.
Fish, fish and again Fish !!! If like Seafood this is the place to be We had dinner at Jake's 2 times, good service, very fresh, great taste.
Dinner at Jake's was fine. I had the lobster roll which was good but modest in portion and my wife had the grilled salmon, which she remarked was good. The wait staff was attentive and unobtrusive. The dining room was comfy and not overly crowded for a mid week meal. I'd definitely return when in the area.
My husband and I ate at Jake's tonight. Not sure why we haven't been back sooner. We've been quite a few times, but most recently before tonight was probably over a year ago. I had the cajun shrimp pasta. It was delicious! They give you 12 good size shrimp over linguine with a spicy tomato sauce. It also comes with... More
We stopped after a visit to Hull and were very impressed. The food was very good, the view was terrific (on the water!) and the staff was very friendly and efficient. We'll be sure to stop back after our next trip to Hull. One tip is to go a little off the main lunch or dinner hours (as we did)... More
Stopped in for a nice meal after spending the day in Hull. SO glad we did! Great choices on the menu, very nice atmosphere, excellent drinks and outstanding waitstaff! Sure, any place can boil a lobster or broil some fish, but few places season it right and cook it without OVER cooking it! Our party had the cedar plank salmon... More
A great place in Hull where you can get fresh seafood and lobster. The lobster dinner was tender and sweet and priced reasonable. Service was good and the place was busy. Had to wait for table but it was longer than what they told us ? Great Lobster !
