Photoman: At least Nikon ain't as stagnant as Canon...or are they? Fuji and Sony are the leaders of the future and that scares Nikon and Canon. Remember Kodak, Polaroid, Agfa. Once big but now very, very small.
I also have a F5, D3 and D700 (D3x as well)! I'm pretty sure if someone gave me a F5, my images would look exactly the same : )
Kind of makes the Inspire look silly lol. At least this new quad doesn't have retractable arms that only function are to look cool. Cool product even if I can't stand the company.
Mark Banas: Only a matter of time before the self-navigating control systems (used for following GPS waypoints, emergency landings, beacon tracking) in the bigger consumer units, are *required* to have a limiter built in for the country they are operating in. (Like getting FCC frequency approval for radio devices.) Basically, some kind of external override that makes the drone stop mid-flight if the pilot tries to fly over an airport, military base, or the government buildings. Naturally, big sports franchises will also want these beacons, and some enterprising geek will make a "drone killer" remote.
A number of flight planning software won't allow you to upload a flight plan to the drone if it fall within restricted airspace.
When the FAA talks about regulating multi rotor remote piloted vehicles, there needs to be better clarification as to what commercial is. Making money should not be the determining factor, if safety is really paramount. RC planes fall into the hobby category and are self regulated by organizations like the AMA. To a point though, at a certain weight the plane is no longer considered appropriate for hobby use. The weight never seems to be much of a issue though. Those flying large traditional aircraft require good piloting skills and most beginners would never consider flying a 50lbs turbine jet lol! But "drones" seem different. Everyone's buying into the koolaid they all fly themselves. Well they do, until they don't. They alway fails for one reason or another. With proper procedures and piloting skills, this really isn't an issue. But that's the case for a professional operator. I would say any multi rotor over 500g be considered commercial. Start from there.
Seriously there's no way this will go 25min. Given the motor type, props and battery I'm guessing around half that.
Martin Datzinger: That looks sooo bad-ass! :D
Really bad-ass is being built in my basement : ) 1300mm X8, 28" propellers and Tmotor U8pro motors. It's like flying 8 lawnmowers lol!
PhotoKhan: I thought this was THE one but, hélas, it is not:
"Maximum Flight Time: Up to 18 minutes."
(...up to...)
Until this can be solved (...and it can't, with current weight-to-performance batteries technology...) this will only have limited appeal.
I use multirotors that can fly for over an hour with either an EO payload or ever lidar. There's a catch though. Big motors, really big propellers (28") and massive battery capacity. It's not really so much a technology issue as it is an aerodynamic efficiency problem with smaller propellers turning at high rpm's.
Shaun Bell: My only comment... Fly away lol! Seems DJI autopilots don't like to stay on lease : )
That's funny. This guy said the exact same thing...
Well, it was actually a week after we had talked. Been flying DJI since the first WooKong's hit the market. Own 6 of them along with a S800/Zen. There's all kinds of issues of failures that aren't pilot error. But it's the pilot's responsibility to know these issues and deal with them. Never had a crash, but that's from dealing with problems early. DJI never admits fault, ever. And along with zero service they make me a bit crazy. They do come out with some awesome stuff though. The Zen we the first real gimbal that actually worked and the Light Bridge is a crazy bargain! It's like camera brochures, only believe about half and you're good.
My only comment... Fly away lol! Seems DJI autopilots don't like to stay on lease : )
christiangrunercom: Overall a good article, but I have some stuff where I think the reviewer have missed the mark by miles.
1: battery life: 17-20 mins is quite good with current motor/battery technology. High end aerial platforms capable of lifting Red cams will not go much above 10-13 mins tops, on average around 6-8 minutes with counting in safe margins for descends, landing and general emergencies.
2: Raw and video desaturated: That's raw files do, they give you a choice. The same goes with the video. Would rather have flat footage, with latitude I can play with, than crushed shadows/highlights.
3: The DJI phantoms are not a platform one would use for b-roll. It's simple not good enough, video-quality wise. The lens is distorting heavily, IQ will be destroyed by software lens correction.
4: You have almost completely omitted the laws on UAV/UAS operation. Just because it can go to 13xx feet, doesn't mean it's legal. Respect the law and peoples privacy.
//Christian, facebook.com/filmcopters
Actually, most of the serious filming rigs with Reds of MIII's are lucky to get 15min. But that's the norm for filming.
Skydronetech: The Phantom is a decent MR, but there are much better options if you are truly serious about AP. My 680mm hex flies for nearly 30 minutes with a gopro and 20 minutes with a Sony NEX. I would also suggest you check out the new Scout from Walkera if you are considering the Phantom.
What are you flying??? That's amazing flight time! What's the payload? Nex? and a gimbal? A lot of questions, but that's really impressive flight times.
What's with the huge box on top of the gimbal? Are they kidding? A three axis gimbal controller in tiny, what's all the space for? They should stay out of the gimbal business and stick to cameras lol!
If Wacom is reading this, how about a Lipo battery and wireless? Now that would be sweet!
Francis Carver: Wow, one thousand dollars for THIS 8-bit color fidelity little display? Wacom seems to be in denial, not wanting to recognize products from Apple and the host of tablets and touchscreen maker offerings. Predatory pricing in this product segment is over once and for all, I believe.
I think for people like myself that use large Cintiq's on a regular basis, this is a pretty cool device. Of all my equipment, the Cintiq's give me the best return on investment except for our large format printers. To be able to use the same editing system out of the studio is awesome. Not all's rosy with wacom though, I own a 12" Cintiq which is a POS. Too many cables and adapters to make it useful for on site editing. It sits in my storage area collecting dust. As for 8bit, I would never use any of my Cintiq's for color correction, that's what the main traditional monitors are for. But 8bit ins't an issue for editing. IPad? That's for the Camranger and that's it lol!
Sdaniella: Anyone seasoned/mastered direct 'digital image' sensor exposure determination in the last 12-13 years (PowerShots since 2000, or EOS LV dSLRs since 2005) with Full M/M ISO will be very familiar with 6D's 'digital era' ExpSim LV (or 'digital era' ES-LV of PowerShots) with its EOS-1 Dual controls... and non-interrupting menuless exposure determination creative adjustment controls... 'live preview'... aka (2012/2013)... Canon's "Final Image Simulation" (new name for Exposure Simulation 'ExpSim' LV (Metering Mode/Range: Real-time Evaluative metering with the image sensor); but a longstanding feature since 2005-EOS-LV-dSLRs and 2000-PowerShot dcams)
repeat, reiterate, improve... continue...
PowerShot users who are Full M/M ISO-Savvy will be comfortable with any EOS LV dSLR, including the ExpSimLV 6D... ExpSimLV XXXD/XXD/M, ExpSimLV 7D, ExpSimLV 5D, ExpSimLV 1D...
none of the Nikons even have EOS-1 Dual controls, never mind the 'odd few' that have Full-Time ExpSim LV... (D3/D4)
Talk about working backwards lol. I like to see how that ESLV works with manual strobes? Talk about wasting time! How about use the proper exposure and stop messing about.
Sdaniella: D4 = ExpSim LV (maybe; most likely for stills and video); more MP than past 12Mp but only a bit; allows for fast fps still; but not fastest; video now 1080p, but DR poor, too contrasty, blowouts hard to control, not good for cinematography.
D3s = ExpSim LV (stills; video, but only 720p); resolved less than 5D2, a given; but had better hi-ISO IQ; good AF
D3x = ExpSim LV (stills); hi-MP (but IQ iffy; resolves less than 5D2 at higher ISOs); AF iffy.
D3 = ExpSim LV (stills); lo-MP (but IQ superb at higher ISOs; but resolves less; a given; offers higher fps (for lo-MP; this is a given)); AF good.
D800 = NO ExpSim LV (for neither stills or videos; like D700, but D700 only lacked video); but now has very hi-Mp; IQ will only be good at lower ISOs; lesson learned from D3x, and best left for studio. video only as good as D4 or less; also too contrasty and hard to control DR unremarkable for cinematography. AF be similar to what D3x faced for hi-MP. Much cheaper than non-ExpSim LV 645D or any MF
Really? Iffy IQ and AF for the D3x and out resolved by a 5DII? I can tell by your pictures you must be an expert.
Conrad567: My problem is I don't like the style of photography that an NEX requires. Holding a camera at arms length and pushing buttons to change the aperture or shutter. The endless menus etc. It is crazy. I like to set up a camera and then shoot on the fly old school like. Sony simply fails at basic understanding of how a camera should function. Fuji has returned to photographies roots, independent shutter dial and an aperture ring on the lens. These mechanics take design and components that simply adding another electronic motor and button don't require...so Sony cheaps out and makes an unusable camera in my OPINION. That is why this camera costs more and that is why people like me have been waiting for years for someone like FUJI to make. I can hardly wait for mine to come. I could never afford the LEICA offerings but I could afford the Contax G2 if it were around today...I only hope and pray that this camera lives up to expectation, if it does then it is a BARGAIN!!!
From a owner of a Sony NEX 5n, I have to agree. I hate using it. Bad ergonomics, menu's (too many), access to functions... It is a great aerial platform body though, which is why I purchased it. Pretty hard to find something as light with good IQ. So it's going to stay on the multicopter. I'll definitely be looking at the Fuji, looks very promising as a general purpose body so I can leave my work cameras at home.
One more to make you feel better lol! This one almost placed last. Now it's not fine are, but look at some of the other entries. Just remember when you enter these challenges you can't take it personal. My partner would give me hell ever time I would enter.
I know how you feel!
Placed 113th. Can't believe how many people gave it .5 rating. Didn't think it was that bad!

International news agencies suspended coverage of the Test series between India and England, which began in Ahmedabad on Thursday, after Indian cricket authorities refused to lift restrictions on photo agencies.
News outlets including Agence France-Presse (AFP) said they would not be filing any text or pictures from the four-match series after the Board of Cricket Control for India (BCCI) barred photo agencies such as Getty Images and Action Images.
English media organisations like the Daily Telegraph and the Press Association said they would support the protest.
"AFP deeply regrets the suspension of coverage of this important Test series as cricket fans will be deprived of stories and photos of the game they love," the agency's global news director Philippe Massonnet said in a statement.
"Unfortunately, the BCCI has chosen to substitute objective editorial coverage with in-house photography, a dangerous principle that AFP, like other international news agencies, simply cannot accept."
While the BCCI has only withheld accreditation from photo agencies, other news organisations fear the move sets a dangerous precedent.
The BCCI is to make a limited number of its own images available during the series.
The News Media Coalition, which represents a group of media organisations, has been leading the discussions with the BCCI.
It said other agencies including Reuters and the Associated Press had decided to halt their text and photo coverage before the British press added its voice to the protests.
"Editors will be angered by this decision of the BCCI and confused by the motives," said Bob Satchwell, executive director of Britain's Society of Editors.
There was no immediate comment from the BCCI on Thursday.
However, BCCI media manager Devendra Prabhudesai said on Tuesday that the board was not seeking to bar news agencies.
The build-up to the series has been dogged by disputes between the BCCI and media organisations.
Satellite broadcaster Sky, which holds the British rights to the series, is set to commentate from its London headquarters off a live picture feed rather than pay a reported additional £500,000 ($A770,000) to the BCCI.
The BBC, however, has reached an agreement with the BCCI to broadcast live from the venues after the Indian board reportedly demanded an extra £50,000 ($A77,000) in addition to the already-agreed fee for the rights to cover broadcast costs.

Watford's latest acquisition has divided opinion.
Lucas Neill's age and the fact the 35-year-old has played in the Japanese, UAE and Australian leagues for the last three years has been highlighted as a potential criticism. But the player insists the standard in Japan and UAE is high and he had previously spent six weeks training with Blackburn Rovers so his fitness should be close to the level needed.
Watford's squad has lacked leaders and characters this season, with Fitz Hall only re-signing recently and Daniel Tozser not joining until a few weeks ago.
In Neill, they have a player who was once a target for Liverpool, played in the Europa League with Galatasaray and has 96 caps for Australia, who he captains.
He is vastly experienced and a natural leader. Traits which have been missing at London Colney and Vicarage Road.
The coaching staff have been impressed with not only Neill's performances in training but also the way he conducts himself around their London Colney base.
Hall and Joel Ekstrand's injuries, and a desire not to rush Tommie Hoban's recovery, were contributing factors to Neill's arrival as an option at centre half.
He qualifies as a home-grown player and we understand he is on a very modest wage with performance incentives based around reaching the play-offs.
Neill is highly motivated as his Australia manager has told him he must play if he wants to feature in his third World Cup this summer.
So if he shows the quality of yesteryear then the Hornets have a very good acquisition on their hands. If he doesn't then hopefully he will still be a positive impact around the dressing room. It was a gamble worth taking.
The signing also indicates the Hornets have not given up on reaching the play-offs.
- There will be an interview with Neill uploaded tonight and a comment piece on the club's current recruitment policy and their technical director Gian Luca Nani this afternoon.

Fergie and Quentin Tarantino celebrated their birthdays with a joint bash last night in Las Vegas. "We wanted to do something that was crazy and a lot of fun," she told Usmagazine.com. The pair, who filmed a hot and heavy love scene in Tarantino's 2007 flick Grindhouse spent the afternoon with friends at the Mirage Hotel's Bare Pool Lounge. Fergie (who turned 33) and Tarantino (who turned 45) caught the 7 p.m. performance of Cirque du Soleil's Beatle-themed show "LOVE." (They devoured cupcakes backstage, says a source.) They then partied into the early morning hours at club Jet with Fergie's fiance Josh Duhamel, Daryl Hannah, and rapper Nelly. (Guest Kid Rock bought The Dutchess a hot dog toaster called the Hot Diggity Dog. "You put the bun on one side, and you put the hot dog in the little hot dog holes, and it pops out of the toaster in about a minute, and your hot dogs are ready to go," Fergie told Us.) Further putting those pregnancy rumors to rest, Fergie sipped on wine throughout the night. At 2:30 a.m. at Jet, Fergie and Tarantino were presented with a birthday cake. Tarantino "grabbed a handful" and threw it at Fergie, an eyewitness told Usmagazine.com. She then tossed a piece right back at him before "laughing and hugging him and heading back for the Mirage Villas, where they were staying," the onlooker adds. As the group walked out the door, the DJ played Fergie's hit "London Bridge."

Sharman software prompts song and dance
Nathan Cochrane
Groups representing Australian music publishers and the US software industry are preparing to weigh in against Sydney software file-sharing maker Sharman Networks. Sharman was joined last week in a California court case brought by the Recording Industry Association of America over its software, the KaZaA Media Desktop. "The Business Software Association is watching those cases closely and supports the underlying objective of stopping the misuse of P2P systems," a BSA spokesman said. The Australian Recording Industry Association may also consider action. "The file-sharing networks operated by KaZaA and others present a global problem for the music industry and a globally coordinated response is being undertaken," an ARIA spokeswoman said. Separately, a gaggle of geek activists jeered Motion Picture Association of America chief Jack Valenti as he spoke on digital rights management before a US Commerce Department meeting, news.com reported.

If you like a girl do you make an honest effort to approach her or to make something more of the relationship? This question is especially geared towards shy guys. Also, how long before you give up on a girl you have a crush on, assuming very little effort has been made to take things further?
Am I right to assume that if a guy likes me, he will make some sort of effort (at least to be my friend)?
Most Helpful Guy
I guess a shy guy wouldn't make a move unless they were 100% sure the girl was into them and would say yes, otherwise they'll just be over thinking things in their mind (arguing with themselves mentally) and end up doing nothing, just like what I did a while ago :\.
To answer your question, it depends if the guy actually liked you or not, I still think about this cute girl that had a crush on me back in september (haven't seen her since november). I hesitated and waited too long, therefore she disappeared like a ghost to me, leaving me sad and confused, but I still think about her even now.
To be honest I still think about this amazing girl that had a crush on me 5 years ago, I was really shy back then and I never hooked up with her, if I ever saw her now I guess I would be comfortable enough to talk to her and maybe be friends with her, but I don't really know how I would feel if I ever saw her.11|00|0
Ugh that sucks :| It has almost happened to me in the past. What would've helped you make a move on either girl back then? Is there anything she could've done that would've given you that extra push?
I guess time, but I knew they were interested in me already. Patience in a girl would have helped me to get more comfortable with approaching her and if you ignore the guy, he's not going to magically turn up somewhere and talk to you like some miracle.
You have to be there for him to approach you, especially if he is shy, also eye contact and just being within close proximity of the guy will help him to become more comfortable with being around you and eventually talking to you.

Blossomon is a Vegetation Digimon whose name is derived from the flower blossom, and whose design is derived from the fictional Biollante. It has the appearance of a giant flower, with countless vines as its roots growing from its body. Despite its strange appearance it is very docile, and due to its personality it rarely appears before others. For a plant it has an unusually long life span, and although the petals around its body (or face, really) fall out whenever the seasons change, it has the special ability to grow back new petals. It hates arid regions, and always inhabits areas near the water.[4]
Digimon Adventure
Blossomon was one of Puppetmon's playmates. She was seen briefly when T.K. was fleeing from Puppetmon, and hid in the room where Mushroomon and Blossomon were. He asked them not to say anything, but Blossomon ratted him out. When Puppetmon did not find T.K. where he was hiding, Puppetmon thought the two lied and killed them (the killing was edited out in the dub).

PBS's Charlie Rose opened last night's Bloomberg/Washington Post GOP presidential economic policy debate by noting the round table format was like a "kind of kitchen table where families for generations have come together to talk and solve their problems."
But through much of the debate it sounded more like Thanksgiving dinner with your liberal aunt and uncle as panelist Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post hammered the candidates from the left and moderator Charlie Rose used a 27-year-old Reagan sound bite to push candidates to come out in favor of tax increases.
For her first question, posed to Rep. Michelle Bachmann (Minn.), Tumulty channeled the Occupy Wall Street crowd, asking, "Do you think it's right that no Wall Street executives have gone to jail for the damage they did to the economy?"
Bachmann responded by focusing on federal government policies that encouraged risky mortgages to credit unworthy recipients, which Tumulty interrupted with her insistence that "the federal government had also deregulated them [the banks]."
For her second question, Tumulty attempted to twist former Speaker Newt Gingrich's reaction to the Occupy Wall Street protests:
You've said that the current protests on Wall Street are, in your words, the natural product of Obama's class warfare. Does this mean that these people who are out there protesting on Wall Street and across the country have no grievance?
Early in the first hour, moderator Charlie Rose invoked the Gipper when he asked Gov. Perry:
Are you prepared, even though you said you've said that you want to make Washington inconsequential, to go to Washington, and, as Ronald Reagan did, compromise on spending cuts and taxes in order to produce results?
Later in the debate, Rose played a clip of President Reagan from August 1984 calling for "raising revenue from those who are not now paying their fair share." Rose then began with Perry, asking if he "agree[s] with the former president."
Perry responded that Reagan agreed to tax rises that were to have been accompanied by spending cuts which the Democratic Congress never approved. Perry added that it was a continual problem in Washington, D.C., as spending is never cut while taxes are often increased as a response to deficits.
A few minutes later, Tumulty pressed former Gov. Romney (R-Mass.) whether he would choose "some mix of revenues and cuts or these draconian, automatic spending cuts that would include defense."
By "mix of revenues," Tumulty clearly meant tax hikes, although her use of euphemism contrasted starkly with the specter of "draconian" cuts in the federal budget that include defense.

Project Runway 9: "Go Big or Go Home"
This week, the designers had one day to create a look for models walking the runway on stilts. For the first time Project Runway designers had an audience, including press, at an outdoor show. The teams in the bottom three all made the mistake of making their looks to costumey, while those at the top had a cleaner ready-to-wear look.
The Teams:

It was a waste of time for anyone who watched it and if I had not watched it the following night on lifetime so I didn't have to see so many commericals, I would not have been able to sit through the entire charade.
Those pants and that jeweled blouse were right out of the sixties and were ugly and dated and awful, even in chiffon.
Becky and Kimberly were the clear winners....period. The rest of this ridiculous episode is not even worth mentioning.
Posted: 5:43 pm on August 13th
and Bryce dodges a bullet yet again even though he should have gone home - in past episodes, the judges have always held the team leader responsible for failing designs, and he clearly claimed responsibility for the entire bad look here, with Fallene at least making the only good part of it, the cute headpiece.
Still hoping Bert redeems himself this week. . .As of now, though, it looks like Anthony Ryan is going to be the standout this year.
Posted: 11:57 am on August 13th
This year the designers have been much better than the last few seasons.
How can anyone think that a person on stilts could look Paris chic? People on stilts are either installing dry wall or in the circus.
And Burt where are you !!! They willl remember you did not try? I want to see you get to the final 3 at least. also burt try to be nicer to the kids. You are the experienced one and stop designing Halston clothes!
Posted: 11:17 am on August 13th
Liked the Becky/Kimberly green outfit better than the red one that won. The red outfit may have had fabric that flowed nicely in the wind outside, but it wasn't exactly slimming. The bodice was pretty bulky. The green one had a collar that was a bit theatrical, but far more elegant and slimming than the red outfit.
The outdoor show was cool. Not sure about the stilts.
Posted: 11:20 pm on August 12th
However, I did like the outdoor presentation. I thought that looked like a lot of fun.
Posted: 9:53 pm on August 12th
Posted: 9:26 pm on August 12th
Bryce should be ashamed of himself, he acted like a baby and he made an ugly skirt. Last weeks attempt was awful as well.

BROOKSVILLE — They stopped short of supporting a moratorium on collecting impact fees, but School Board members did say Tuesday they are willing to go with a little less revenue.
The board voted 4 to 1 at its workshop to send that message to the County Commission. The commission, which sets impacts fees, is scheduled on Tuesday to discuss a temporary suspension of the one-time fees on new single-family home construction.
That result changes the board's position from just six months ago, when the members sent a letter to the county opposing a moratorium on the fees. Builders have insisted that a suspension would help give a much-needed boost to their industry.
The School Board agreed in theory to support a partial reduction in fees, though they didn't set any amount.
"I'd be willing to work with the builders until we can get the economy in better shape here in Hernando County," board member Pat Fagan said. "We've got to do something to help the community."
Bob Eaton, a past president of the Hernando Builders Association, pleaded with the board to help put builders and others in development back to work.
"The builders association is proposing this radical idea because we are in crisis and in radical times," Eaton said. "This is a tragedy for people's incomes and livelihoods."
The school district gets $4,200 for every single-family home, the largest share of impact fees. That is more than is allotted for roads, libraries and emergency services.
District staffers expressed reservations about forfeiting any money from the fees, which help fund land purchases, new school construction and renovations, and additions to existing schools.
The district brought in $6.9 million in impact fees last year. That's projected to drop to $1.4 million this year, chief financial officer Desiree Henegar told the board.
That is money that helps bolster the budget in a time of shrinking tax revenue, Henegar said, adding that impact fee revenue is also used to pay the district's debt service.
"If those funds go away that means millage funds would be used for that," Henegar said. "It would add a definite burden."
While the student enrollment boom seems to be over, the district is still growing slightly, adding 100 students this year, said Amber Wheeler, the district's manager of planning and growth management.
State projections call for that trend to continue, especially at the elementary level where the district is already struggling to provide capacity, Wheeler said.
"Taking away impact fees doesn't help us to pay for capacity for those students," she said.
With that in mind, Board member Dianne Bonfield dissented.
"I have to look out for our finances and our finances are definitely in crisis," Bonfield said. "My first obligation is to the Hernando County school system."
The growth has slowed to the point where the school district can consider lower fees, board member Sandra Nicholson said.
"I don't think it's the magic answer but I think it could help a little bit," Nicholson said. "I know it's difficult but I think we can share our part of the burden."
• • •
In other action, the board agreed to sell 52 portable classrooms at various school sites throughout the district. The portables are still used to some degree but are no longer needed to meet capacity, facilities director Bo Bavota told the board.
Bavota warned the board that getting rid of the portables might not be wise if growth does return. With that in mind, he offered a proposal to set up a campus of 40 portables on a piece of land behind the district's facilities building on Mobley Road in Brooksville. The remaining 12 portables — the oldest or in worst shape — would be sold.
Bavota estimated it would cost the district about $4.6 million to set up the campus, which would include the purchase of concrete buildings for administration and a cafeteria.
The campus could be used for whatever purpose the board chooses and some of the portables could be moved back to school sites if necessary.
The idea didn't sit well with a majority of board members.
"I appreciate the creativity, but I haven't met a portable that ages well," board member John Sweeney said. "To set us up with a campus with a limited life span, in my opinion, is short-sighted."
The board agreed that if a given school does need more capacity, it would come in the form of modular concrete structures known as concretables.
Also on Tuesday, the board selected the hornet as the mascot for the new, yet to be named high school north of Weeki Wachee set to open next fall.
Presented with examples from other schools, most board members liked the muscular, scowling hornet over various depictions of mustangs, cougars and lions.

Publisher: BiP Media
Developer: BiP Media
Medium: Digital
Players: 1-2
Online: Yes
As iOS games go, Tiny Token Empires is pretty amazing. It's an interesting combination of Risk-style turn-based strategy and match-3 that's perfect for gaming on the go. Of course, it also indulges in the unfortunate tendency of iOS games to nickel-and-dime you for every little bit of content, but that's beside the point: if you're looking for something fun on your iDevice, I couldn't recommend it any more highly.
As a PSN download, though? Let's just say that as PS3 games go, Tiny Token Empires is a very good iPod game. Which is to say that it faces the same problem that also faced iOS-to-PS3 games like Angry Birds and Jetpack Joyride. While all three are great for filling up that 20 minute space you have to kill while you're commuting in to work or waiting around between classes, they're not nearly substantial enough to sustain the kind of experience you're looking for if you've settled down on your couch in front of your PS3.
Admittedly, as iOS games on the PS3 go, Tiny Token Empires probably comes closest to having the ingredients for sustaining a longer gaming session. While some of the early campaigns can be finished off relatively quickly, all it takes is one ill-advised attack or some bad matching luck, and all of a sudden you're stuck grinding out small victory after small victory. Not only that, the game lends itself to a multiplayer experience in ways that other iOS games do not. Of course, I say that more on a theoretical level than anything else — I tried connecting to the game's multiplayer servers a couple of times, but I never had any luck finding anyone to play with.
That lack of an online community isn't the game's only drawback, either. On a related note, the AI is fairly unforgiving, punishing even the smallest mistakes. While that's obviously a plus for some, if you're going into it hoping for some casual single-player fun — as you might expect from an iOS game — you'll quickly find yourself overmatched.
Also not fun: navigating around the map. It's clearly an interface that was designed for fingers, not thumbsticks on controllers, and trying to look around the world to see what's happening elsewhere is awkward, to say the least.
In fact, it's enough to make you wonder why BiP Media ported their game to this particular Sony gaming device. Maybe it's just me, but I would've figured that a game designed for handhelds would've been tailor-made for the PS Vita, what with its touchscreen and all. That they instead aimed a little higher and put their game on the PS3 seems like a missed opportunity.
In any case, what's done is done, and we can only talk about the game that BiP Media did make, not the one they should have. And what did they do with Tiny Token Empires? A decent enough job, particularly for strategy and match-3 fans, but not something essential by any stretch of the imagination.

VCMI 0.72 released!
After another two months of development we are proud to present a new release of VCMI.
It brings a lot of fixes and several important features:
- VCMI finally has support for sounds and music (thanks to Ubuntux). It's not complete yet (eg. no sounds from objects near to hero) but most of effects is implemented.
- Autosave. It should make testing much easier, since VCMI is still unstable. Game is cyclically saved at the beginning of each to turn to one of the 5 save files. So you have saves from tha last 5 turns, not only the last one.
- Artifacts. Most of artifacts are supported. Too many to list them all here, the list is available
(there are also lists of implemented objects, spells, secondary skill and town structures)
- New spells and objects (list is present in the changelog).
Download link:
(2.6MB, ZIP Archive)
Extract the package into your main Heroes folder.
WoG 3.58f is required. We strongly recommend using English version.
If you have older version of VCMI, you have to overwrite it.
Remember that it's possible to save the game by typing "save <filename>" in the console or by pressing "Save" button in the system options window. Game can be loaded using the main menu. Old saves from 0.7x are not supported, format has been changed. They should be omitted by VCMI automatically but we recommend deleting them manually anyway.
VCMI supports 1024x600 and 1024x768 screen resolutions. To use it resolution, type (before starting the actual game!) in the console "resolution" and pick appropriate one. Alternatively, you can change default resolution by the editing config/settings.txt file.
We are still planning further releases from 0.7x series. Considered features are exploring seas and town sieges. Stay tuned
Thanks for Aidis, Boulie, dikamilo, H3_Fan, Ivan, krystian1995, majaczek, pHOMM, ral_il_an, Steven Aus, Zamolxis and everyone else who helped us with testing and improving VCMI.

A THOUSAND families are needed to help Stroud Valleys Project survive through to the next financial year.
The charity has had its grant cut by Stroud District Council each year since 2009 and despite trying many other ways of raising funds, including opening an eco-shop in Threadneedle Street, has been unable to make up the shortfall.
SVP chief executive Clare Mahdiyone said that if the charity did not reach its target by the end of January then it would have to radically rethink the SVP's future in Stroud.
"We are having a trustees meeting in January where we will discuss reducing costs, mainly the handing in of the lease on our shop," she said.
"This will be a big thing for us as we spent six years trying to get into a shop and after seven years we will have to move into a smaller premises where we won't be visible."
SVP is now urgently appealing for donations.
"If we could get 1,000 families to pledge just £25 a year that would help us to plan for the future," said Clare.
It is especially poignant that the charity is appealing for funds now as it is due to celebrate its 25th anniversary in February 2013.
"For 24 years SVP has been improving the environment and looking after green spaces in and around the Stroud district. Last year for example, we planted 958 trees and 3,120 hedge plants, involved 1,500 children in our environmental activities and utilised more than 1,612 days of volunteer time."
According to recent research from the Charities Aid Foundation one in six charities believe they could face closure in the coming year amid public spending cuts and falling donations.
To donate go to www.stroudvalleysproject.org, or send in a cheque or call into the eco-shop in Threadneedle Street.

Adrenal Fatigue vs Hypothyroidism
Not everyone experiencing fatigue, weight gain and general sluggishness is suffering from hypothyroidism. Although these symptoms are common among those dealing with an imbalance of thyroid hormones, they are also often found in individuals whose adrenal glands have reached the exhaustion stage. And then there is the group of people who are simultaneously suffering from both.
In regards to which affliction is more common, we have no real statistics. Dr Michael Lam, a US-based physician familiar with adrenal fatigue, haws stated that 80% of the population will suffer with adrenal fatigue at some point in their life. Dr David Brownstein, the author of "Iodine: Why You Need It", estimates that 40% of the Western world is currently experiencing some sort of thyroid imbalance. In any case, it can be safely concluded that there are many individuals are needlessly suffering, searching for answers after being knocked back by their GP.
Although adrenal fatigue resembles hypothyroidism in some aspects, there are also significant differences between the two. Hypothyroidism normally presents with a number of key symptoms, although each individual often experiences a thyroid dysfunction in slightly different ways. In adrenal fatigue, the individual experience is even more varied, consistent with the wide array of metabolic activity that depends on the adrenal glands. The diurnal nature of adrenal function often means that particular times of the day/night will be more troublesome than others; this circadian pattern is not seen in thyroid problems. More common symptoms are listed below.
Adrenal Fatigue
Energy crashes at different points of the day
Sugar/salt cravings
Poor appetite in the mornings
Sensitivity to loud noises
Disturbed sleep
Hypoglycaemic episodes
Frequent colds/infections
Palpitations/chest pains
Thin, brittle nails
Hair loss
Dry skin
Eyebrow hair thinning
Persistant fatigue
Under-reactive to stimuli
Intolerant of heat
Low energy
Cold hands
Low body temperature
Weight gain
Sluggish digestion
Patients currently navigating through their treatment and astute practitioners may notice that many symptoms listed for hypothyroidism were present in cases of confirmed adrenal fatigue, and vice versa. And herein lies the intrinsic link between the thyroid and adrenal glands, often referred to as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-thyroid axis. Both these glands are concerned with energy production and have evolved to balance each other out.
When the adrenals increase hormonal secretion, thyroid function is inhibited. This affect appears to be dominated by adrenaline, which increases the levels of reverse T3 in the bloodstream. Reverse T3 is inactive cousin of the primary thyroid hormone T3; because both competitively inhibit one another at binding sides, a high count of reverse T3 can cause the onset of thyroid symptoms. However, this will often be masked by excessive adrenal output of both adrenaline and cortisol but will be brutally unveiled if and when the adrenal function crashes, as is known to occur in adrenal fatigue. This is an example of how stress can induce hypothyroid symptoms. Not only does it demonstrate the need to always check for reverse T3 in all thyroid tests, it also shows why a shift from high adrenal output to low – typical in adrenal fatigue – can cause such a severe crash; the low thyroid function, which was previously masked, now becomes fully evident at the same time as the individual is gripped by adrenal fatigue.
Most of the individuals I see with adrenal fatigue have some sort of impaired thyroid function. In these situations, I focus the source of the problem (the adrenal function) whilst providing adequate levels of nutrition to the thyroid; this includes tyrosine and selenium, but especially iodine, for which 96% of the population test deficient for. Attempts to compensate for these organic imbalances by imposing synthetic thyroid hormones are clumsy and perpetuate the cycle. Removing the cause of thyroid dysfunction and nourishing it with essential nutrients represents a much wiser approach.
While adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism have specific signatures, the symptoms seen will often overlap. An efficient return to optimum wellness requires knowledge of why the problems occurred in thyroid/adrenal glands in the first instance, but also how these energy glands interact and what knee-jerk interventions to avoid.

Carolina Style Mustard BBQ Sauce
Recipe by grantg
Every BBQ novice (experts, too) should buy Mike Mills' book "Peace, Love, & BBQ" for recipes and BBQ lore... what a fun read and window into many regional favorites. Mike is certainly confident (and its justified): he declares that HIS Carolina Style Mustard BBQ Sauce would be used by the legendary Maurice Bessinger (SC BBQ restauranteur) if only he had it! I told this to my neighbor who likes mustard sauces & has been known to frequent Maurice's establishments when I gave him a sample made according to Mike's recipe. Later on he informed me that Mike could be right... he liked Mike's Sauce better than Maurice's. Moreover, he wanted the recipe! I have tweeked the recipe a bit and love this sauce better than all other mustard-based sauces I have tried. It is also delicious on HAM sandwiches & sausage biscuits!
Top Review by mhusman
My daughter loves this recipe and said I had to try it. I live in Columbia SC the home of Bessinger's Piggy Park and this BBQ sauce is pretty close to Maurice's sauce. I was short on time and didn't have any tomato paste so I had to make it with ketchup instead of the tomato paste - so the recipe may be even better than what I made - I will definitely make it with paste the next time to taste the difference.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 cups prepared yellow mustard (French's)
- 1⁄2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄2 cup tomato paste
- 5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (can adjust to desired heat level)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan & whisk over medium heat.
- Once the sauce is simmering, whisk until the sugar dissolves completely. This should take 5 minutes or less.
- Do not overcook (sauce requires less time simmering if sugar substitue is used).
- Remove from heat and cool before using.
- Store sauce in a sterilized GLASS jar in the refrigerator between uses.
- (I sterilize a suitable empty BBQ sauce bottle by capping with 1/2 cup of cider vinegar inside it, swirling it by shaking several times over a few days, & then draining well when ready to fill with BBQ sauce.).
- Optional: in place of the light brown sugar, use 1/2 cup of sugar substitute + 1T molasses. The sugar substitute version (which I now keep on hand) is diabetic friendly & easier to adapt to sugar substitute than most tomato based sauces I have attempted to modify & encountered consistency problems.

Man those Hornets jerseys are hideous
I like the Mardi Gras jerseys. I like when teams have alternates that reflect the character of their city. Charlotte uses a checkered flag design on the side of their jerseys when there is a Nascar race in town. Miami uses all-white to honor the douchebags that go to South Beach clubs in all-white suits.
OK I watched about 30 seconds and it is clear to me even in that length of time that Roy was running, jumping, moving much better last year than this. I think it is rather a large difference. He almost doesn't look like the same player. That IMO is why he is struggling to score this year.
The question I have is why? has he gained weight, has he been injured. To me he looks a little thinner too last year.
Just watched more of it, I think is is a remarkable difference.
Anyone disagree with me

He did try to put on some extra muscle in the offseason in an attempt to make it harder for him to be pushed off the block.
Not at all. It looks like he's lost a lot of his flexibility that he had last year. He used to have problems with this, maybe he relaxed and has been spending less time working on his flexibility .
I think it's the wrist. I haven't seen him palm the ball and one hand jam this season. It's at 19 seconds.
It would be interesting to see how many centers have had their career high in points against Kaman. He's a defensive sieve, and really wasn't playing for anyone but himself and his next contract last year.
Second, a lot of those 30 points were on putbacks and dunks. Putbacks are a result of your defender not boxing out, and has very little to do with your ability on the offensive end. Dunks depend on where you caught the ball. I see Roy catching the ball much deeper in the post than he does this year. Part of that is Kaman letting him get down there without a fight. The longer, more drawn out post plays were later in the game, and by that point Roy had his confidence at a high level.
He did see to be more "active" in that game from last year, so there could be a small injury, but I think it's got more to do with who Roy was playing than how Roy was playing.
he looks a lot more active and less luggy
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
Great idea! This strategy has worked great for Jermaine O'Neal in the past. Oh, wait...
so his wrist is impacting his running, jumping, quickness, overall athletic ability?
Let's not talk about this. Too painful.
I think that he has definitely added some upper body muscle / weight. I don't think he has added lower body muscle / weight to go with it, though.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Biggest thing I noticed, his shoulder fake to hook shot move is a lot quicker and more fluid in this video than it has been at any point this season. Really his shoulder fakes in general are just much better last season than they are now. He used that to create space for hooks and to get over someone for dunks. Now his shoulder fakes look a tad slow, too easy to defend.
I remember when they tried to have Smits put on extra weight, it was not pretty, probably the worst time of Rik's career.
Larry Brown came in an immediately had him lose weight and he was much better after that. I think technique and balance are more important than bulk for posting up and holding position.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
Lift also doesn't look good compared to last year. Maybe too much upper body weight with not enough leg work put in to counter it.
I have never been in favor of any player ever "bulking up" on purpose. As a player ages, they will naturally get a little thicker. especially as they go from a 21 year old to a 25 year old.
I would hope the Pacers have shown a breakdown of tapes to Roy so he can see the difference.
I suspected this, but having now seen this video I am shocked at how striking the difference is
I thought his hook shot had started to come around, and in fact he hit a nice one against the Knicks. Just too bad the big fella was in that foul trouble, it really felt like he was about to go off for 20-30 points.
He does look much heavier, I noticed it right away at the start of the season. This video is proof. he is much quicker player in that clip.
I'm pretty sure the weight gain was intentional, but it was obviously a bad idea. I hope he rethinks that strategy and slims down to at least last years weight and works on fitness over bulk muscle mass in the off-season.
Seems like a lifetime ago.
I've been thinking all year that Roy looked out-of-shape. He has talked about conditioning problems early in his career and I thought that's what we were seeing again. Hopefully it was intentional weight gain, if it was it should be all that much easier to get rid of.
Well yeah, you're watching a video where Hibby is scoring and eager to get the ball and go to the basket.
You don't think confidence impacts running, jumping, quickness and athleticism on offense?
Not nearly as much as gaining 20 lbs

European contenders emerge for Melbourne springMichael Lynch
Published: August 26 2013 - 3:00AM
Another big race weekend in Europe, and another slew of potential Cups candidates emerge as contenders for the Melbourne spring.
Some familiar faces — such as Luca Cumani's Mount Athos, an unlucky fifth in last year's Melbourne Cup — pressed their claims with good performances, while some newer names established their credentials as serious threats for Australia's greatest race.
Others, however, disappointed, leaving question marks over their chances of joining the foreign invasion at Caulfield and Flemington.
Perhaps the most impressive of the potential offshore raiders was the Johnny Murtagh trained and ridden Royal Diamond, who scored narrowly in the Irish St Leger Trial over 2800 metres at The Curragh.
The front running seven-year-old, who won last year's Irish Leger, showed plenty of guts and tenacity to score a narrow half length victory over Dermot Weld's progressive mare Voleuse De Coeurs, with the highly touted Coolmore candidate Ernest Hemingway five and a half lengths away in third.
Royal Diamond and Voleuse De Coeurs ran first and second throughout and the older gelding was able to grind out the win. Interestingly the pair produced their running from two months ago at the same track in the Curragh Cup over the same distance almost to the millimetre.
On that occasion the duo had run second and third to runaway winner Ernest Hemingway, Royal Diamond finishing half a length in front of Weld's mare conceding her six pounds (roughly 2.5 kilos). On Saturday the margin was the same, and the weight difference was five pounds, fractionally less. Ernest Hemingway had been receiving three pounds (1.5 kilos) when he beat Royal Diamond easily that day, but was meeting the latter at level weights on Saturday when he was comfortably put in his place, suggesting that the older horse has improved in the intervening period.
Should he make the journey to Melbourne, as has been touted as a long range plan, Royal Diamond, along with Voleuse De Coeurs (whom Weld has long seen as the sort of horse who could give him a third Melbourne Cup) would surely be strong chances. Both will get the trip and have shown form in the lead up races that have provided a good guide in the past.
Murtagh opted to run Royal Diamond at his home track rather than take him to England's York festival, to run in the high stakemoney Ebor Handicap. He will now seek to gain back to back wins in the Irish Leger.
''We had a big decision to make, whether to go to York or come here. I felt this was the right race for him and as it was just up the road. He has really come on since the last day. He is a specialist over a mile and six, all his wins have come at the trip. He comes good at this time of the year and hopefully in three weeks' time he'll come back here and defend his title,'' the trainer/jockey said.
Royal Diamond's win was a boost for last year's Irish Leger form as the horse he beat in the race by only a head last year, Massiyn, made his debut for Lloyd Williams stable at Moonee Valley in an unsuitably short 1500 metre handicap on Saturday, but trailed in a distant last.
In England Mount Athos put up a good effort when he ran a head second to another freewheeling front runner in Harris Tweed in the 2800 metre March Stakes. The son of Montjeu had disappointed when only eighth in the Goodwood Cup behind another Melbourne bound galloper in Brown Panther last time, but Cumani's charge ran a much better race this time when he just failed to get up against a horse that is a good yardstick in these types of listed and Group 3 European staying races, especially when he gets his way in front.
The Ebor, Europe's richest staying handicap race, went to the well backed Tiger Cliffs, who is now earmarked for a jumping campaign.
Opinion, the Sir Michael Stoute-trained galloper who was touted as a Cups candidate after he scored in a handicap at Royal Ascot in June, could finish only a disappointing 10th of the 14 starters in the 2800 metre race.
The four-year-old colt was slowly away and lost many lengths at the start: although he made up ground and made headway 800 metres from home he quickly faded and was never a winning chance.
Twenty four hours earlier, also at York, Godolphin unveiled another Cups candidate when Ahzeemah narrowly defeated Irish Melbourne hopeful Simenon in the 3200 metre Lonsdale Cup, a Group 2 contest. Six days earlier Sheik Mohammed's stable produced another contender in Royal Empire, who was identified as Melbourne-bound following his win in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury.
''He's not overly big, but I've never known a horse try as hard as this horse does. We might look at the Melbourne Cup or there is the Qipco stayers' race on Champions Day at Ascot (19 October),'' said Simon Crisford, Godolphin's racing manater.
Saeed Bin Suroor, Ahzeemah's trainer, added: "We'll keep our options about Melbourne and we'll see how he is. He seems to go on any ground.''
Irish trainer Willie Mullins has Simenon entered in the Caulfield Cup, and he said afterwards: "Given he had to make his own running, which was not ideal, it was an excellent run. The desire has been to go to the Melbourne Cup since Ascot last year and he has options in Australia before the big one.
"I just hope he gets in. His chance of doing so would have been better if he had won.''

The remains of Dylan Redwine, 13, were discovered in a Colorado forest after an extensive five-day search of a forest service road. The teen went missing last November.
Sheriff's Department spokesman Dan Bender announced the positive identification of bones discovered on USFS Middle Mountain Road this past week, saying they are of the missing teen.
The bones were found along with a variety of other items, though the department did not say if the items pertain to the case or not. Redwine's remains were found eight to 10 miles away from the home of his father, Mark Redwine. Bender added:
"Our hearts and prayers go out to the family at this difficult time. We are pursuing this as a criminal investigation and not as an accident. All the family has been very cooperative, and continues to be."
No suspects have been named in the case, which has now turned from a missing person's case to a suspicious death. Dylan Redwine was last seen on November 18, when his father picked him up at the Durango-La Plata County Airport for a court-ordered Thanksgiving visit.
The boy's mother, Elaine, stated that she last heard from her son when he texted her to say he had arrived. She reported him missing the next day. The parents of Dylan Redwine appeared on Dr. Phil in February, where they each accused the other of being responsible for their son's disappearance.
The pair went through a long and very contentious divorce, which included a custody battle over Dylan. But Mark Redwine stated on Thursday that his focus is now on contacting his ex-wife to discuss arrangements for the burial of their son. But that could be difficult. After Thursday's announcement, Mark stated that his ex-wife was driving down the street. When she saw him, she rolled down her window and shouted, "Murderer!"
Before Thursday's announcement that Dylan Redwine's remains were found, the community of Durango, Colorado held out hope for his return. Images of the teen were posted on fliers and posters taped up all around town. Mark Redwine disclosed that they only found four to five of Dylan's bones. Because of this, they will continue searching. Authorities believe the young boy's body was ravaged by wildlife in the area.

Popular genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? returns to SBS next week for its ninth season.
It begins with Eurythmics singer and political activist Annie Lennox, and also includes Sir Patrick Stewart, actress Samantha Womack, and actress Celia Imrie.
As previously reported an episode with Coronation Street's William Roache, recorded in 2012, will not air.
Episode One – Annie Lennox
Eurythmics singer and political activist Annie Lennox, whose grandmother's father died when she was only three, knows little about this branch of the family. Annie's episode uncovers an extraordinarily dark tale of tangled family relationships blighted by illegitimacy and poverty. On her journey, Annie also discovers the humiliation her unmarried great, great grandmother suffered before the Scottish church.
