The 46-year-old actor - who suffered drug and alcohol problems in 2011 before being axed from 'Two and a Half Men' after launching a number of rants at creator Chuck Lorre - has apologized to the American public for his actions last year, and he has compared his wild behavior to having an out-of-body experience.
He said: "It was a team effort that was ultimately led by myself. There were not a lot of people close by saying, 'Dude, let's just take a step back.'"
Charlie admits he did feel a "a little bit" bitter about Ashton Kutcher replacing him on 'Two and a Half Men', but he has got over it by creating new sitcom 'Anger Management', in which he will play a therapist, because he didn't want his TV legacy to be remembered for the wrong reasons.
When asked if he had bad feelings towards 'Two and a Half Men' and Ashton, he added to the 'Today' show: "A little bit. I gotta work through that. I could probably do it in group on my show. Just not out loud.
"I couldn't have the 'Two and a Half Men' thing be my television legacy. I couldn't have that end on that note. If this is going to be a swansong, then it's got to be a beautiful experience, and, so far, eight days there was more fun than eight years."

The encounter between a deer and a minivan last week on an Indiana highway was an all-too common occurrence with uncommonly deadly results.
An extended family of 10 was traveling from Chicago to New Jersey when their minivan hit a deer on the Indiana Toll Road and then stopped or slowed, authorities said. The van was then hit by a semitrailer going about 65 mph. Seven members of the family — three adults and four children — died in the crash. Three others were hospitalized.
The crash underscored an ongoing problem: The most dangerous animal in North America isn’t the bear or the shark, but may well be the deer, and the deadliest time of year is fall. On average, more collisions between cars and deer occur in November than in any other month, according to State Farm Insurance.
This is because late October through early December is mating season for North American deer, reports Rob Found, a biologist from the University of Alberta, in Edmonton.
The Blake family of New Ulm, Minn., learned the hard way that fall is a season of high risk for colliding with a deer.
Chris, Sue, and their 17-year-old daughter Olivia were headed out for pizza last November when an oncoming car struck a deer directly in front of them. The deer flew into the Blakes’ Pontiac Vibe with such force that “it came right through the windshield and actually T-boned me in the face,” Chris Blake says.
The deer then went through the back window and out of the car.
By comparison, sharks have killed 10 people in the USA in the past 10 years, according to the International Shark Attack File. As for bears, a list of known attacks maintained by Bearplanet.org says about 28 people have been killed by bears the past decade.
For the fifth year in a row, West Virginia tops the list of states where a driver is most likely to run into a deer, State Farm reports. The other states in the top 10 are Iowa, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Montana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wyoming.
State Farm reports that the number of deer/car collisions has actually decreased the past three years, likely because of the economy and people driving fewer miles.
However, over the five-year period 2005-09, 1,017 people died in vehicle-animal collisions, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. In a 2004 study, IIHS found that 60% of people who died in such crashes in automobiles were not wearing seat belts.
None of the family killed last week in the Indiana collision was wearing a seat belt, according to the Associated Press.
In the USA, the average collision with a deer produces more than $3,000 damage, Found says.
Found and his team of scientists from the University of Alberta have some potentially good news: A new study led by Found and published in September reported that when warning signs are placed specifically in a targeted location where deer are known to cross, they can reduce collisions by 34%.
The researchers focused their study on Edmonton, which borders dense forests. Using collision statistics from 2002 to 2007, the scientists identified 28 specific hotspots within the city limits before placing warning signs in 14 of these locations.
Collisions dropped from 139 cases the previous year to 78 citywide once the signs were in place.
“Our study showed that warning signs really do reduce deer-vehicle collisions,” Found says.

A major achievement for design engineers is building precise control mechanisms for active processes. Lives depend on the precision in which certain processes are maintained, such as the manufacture of drugs.
Even more vital to survival is the human body's complex, integrated system that maintains precise control over the body's temperature even when it generates tremendous quantities of internal heat through strenuous activity or is exposed to wide-ranging external temperatures.
The organs in the skull, chest, and abdomen are the most temperature-sensitive organs in the human body. Biochemical processes, particularly enzyme activities, within these organs are essential for life and function best in a narrow temperature range of 96 to 101°F, which is called the "core" body temperature range. For most people, average temperature is 98.6°F, which is the "set point" established by the master temperature regulator within the brain--the hypothalamus.
If core body temperature varies by about 10°F above or below this range, it poses a high risk of being lethal. Why? For every 1.8°F increase in the core, crucial chemical reaction rates in organs are deranged and increase by 10 percent. Also, as temperatures rise outside the normal range, proteins--particularly enzymes--start losing both their shape and function, while nerve tissue activity is increasingly depressed. Small children risk going into seizures at about 106°F and most people will be dead if the core reaches 109°F. Conversely, if the core is chilled to below 87°F, electrochemical activity in the heart starts becoming so disrupted that most people will die of cardiac arrest.
It is critical to balance the body temperature within the core range. However, the difficulty of that task cannot be fully appreciated without considering the quantity of heat energy the body needs to manage. How much heat does a person generate? Even while sleeping, with skeletal muscles totally relaxed, heat is still produced as a byproduct of basic metabolism. In fact, about 60 percent of daily energy needs--enough heat to raise the temperature of 20 pounds of water about 2°F every hour--is expended just staying alive.
Now add on activities. For every one hour of hard work or exercise, the heat generated could raise the temperature of the same water almost 20°F--and well-trained athletes can produce almost twice as much heat. An increased level of heat production lasts several hours even after activity ceases. Some engineers assert that offices built to optimal energy efficiency could be heated through the winter using only the body heat of the occupants themselves. Depending on the external environment surrounding a person, this generated heat can be a friend or foe--but it must be precisely regulated.
The whole brain helps regulate body temperature, but the main thermoregulatory center is the hypothalamus (located midline in the brain behind the eyes), which possesses two specialized sections: a heat-losing center and a heat-promoting center. Just like in man-made systems designed to modulate temperature, a means of sensing the actual temperatures must be in place. The body has two distinct specialized cells--heat sensors and cold sensors called "thermoreceptors"--that are capable of detecting a temperature change as low as 0.4°F. To keep surveillance on the outside world, hundreds of thermoreceptors are optimally located in the skin, mucous membranes of the nose and mouth, the eyes, and in some muscles.
Sensors send impulses to the brain depending on both how fast and how much the temperature changes--as many as 240 impulses per second for each receptor. Data from these sensors is kept organized by being segregated from other input sent to the brain via exclusive pathways in the nervous system.
The data is continuously analyzed by the hypothalamus and converted to information that is compared to a preset bank of information that was present from birth. This allows the hypothalamus to anticipate external temperature changes that may affect core temperature and begin processes to adjust body temperature accordingly. The actual core temperature is monitored by the hypothalamus itself using thermoreceptors that measure the temperature of blood within this core organ.
The heat-losing center and heat-promoting center each have body systems under its control that can be regulated to keep heat production equal to heat loss. When one center is stimulated, a concurrent inhibitory signal is sent to the other. So when it is hot outside or increased physical exertion raises the body temperature above the set point, the activated heat-losing center first inhibits the signal to tiny muscle fibers lining blood vessels in the skin. This decreases muscle tone, allowing the vessels to dilate and become flush with warm blood shunted away from the core. The skin acts as a giant radiator that offloads body heat to air currents that carry it away, directly transfers it to cooler objects, or radiates it away as electromagnetic energy.
Using body heat to convert liquid water to a vapor is used continuously to maintain the core. The lungs and the skin each exchange almost a half a quart of water per day to cool the body just for basic needs. When a large heat transfer is needed, sweat glands on the skin can be massively recruited to cover the skin in very tiny droplets that can be easily evaporated. This method works best, because evaporating water removes up to ten times more heat than water that simply runs off in large drops from the skin. When heat-stressed, a person could potentially evaporate off up to two quarts of sweat per hour from the skin.
When cold conditions threaten to lower the core temperature, the heat-promoting center initiates actions to conserve the heat that is made and produce more heat if it is needed. First, a signal is sent to the muscle fibers around the blood vessels in the skin to constrict and decrease flow. This reduces a large amount of heat loss and warm blood is kept in the deep body areas. Skin temperature begins to approach that of the external environment.
If more heat is needed, internal metabolic rates are increased. A rapid increase in cellular metabolism is begun when the hypothalamus sends a nerve signal to the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. A quick infusion of hormones from these glands, commonly called "adrenaline," increases cellular "burning" of sugars to make heat. A slower process is started when the thyroid gland is stimulated with a subsequent release of thyroid hormone to increase overall metabolism.
Heat can be produced rapidly through an increase in muscle tone. By sending the right neurological signals, the muscle fibers rapidly pull against each another in an involuntary repetitive cycle known as shivering. In just a few minutes this process can raise the heat production rate to over four times the normal rate.
Incredibly, all of these processes working together keep a person's core temperature within 2°F of the set point over a 24-hour period. People groups also have some innate genetic capability to adapt over several generations to different climates through selection of variable traits such as basic metabolism, skin color, subcutaneous fat thickness, and behavior modification.
The information for these traits and all of the thermoregulatory process could never have been built up gradually through some long evolutionary route of trial and error. For survival's sake, thermoregulation has to be 100 percent in place and functioning. This process incorporates nearly every system in the body--which themselves have to be fully functional. The Lord Jesus' understanding of the human body He created and the magnificent complexities of His design are truly beyond description!

REECE Hutchinson says that he is thankful to the Academy for helping him in his development, after the left back made his maiden first team start against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.
The Academy graduate signed his first professional deal in the summer, and made his league debut against Gillingham earlier this season.
The youngster’s full debut came in the second-round of the Carabao Cup, where he put in an impressive performance as the Brewers overcame Villa through a Liam Boyce goal.
Hutchinson says that the playing time given to him, along with fellow Young Brewers such as Marcus Harness, Ben Fox and Joe Sbarra, shows that there is a pathway from the Academy to the first team.
The youngster has also thanked coaches such as Academy Manager Dan Robinson and Professional Development Phase Lead Coach Sam Rose for their help in his road to first team football.
He said: “As you can see, they have all played crucial minutes recently. It just shows that there is always a pathway from the Academy.
“He (Dan) came into the dressing room afterwards. He gave me a big hug and said ‘well done’. He was sat next to my dad and said that my dad was super proud of me, and that the whole Academy were proud of me.
“I have got to thank them (The Academy) for this opportunity. Coming through the Academy is not easy but, thankfully, they helped me through it.

Season 7 launched with Season Opener Party 2015 at Franklin Park Conservatory. In addition to a lavish party inside, there was an incredible display of cars outside, including the $1,300,000 McLaren P1.
Our first meets of the year were held in the front lot at Byers Imports. We quickly outgrew the space and eventually moved to the a new lot behind their campus.
Our meet at Diamond Cellar was incredibly popular this year. There's just something about the combination of watches and cars!
Before some of the meets this year, we went on pre-meet cruises. Thanks to Mike Warvel for suggesting the idea and leading some of these drives.
The lot behind Byers Imports was perfect for some larger meets this season. The additional space allows for more flexibility, and we included new features like photo backdrops for car photos, coffee, donut, and ice cream vendors, "Porsche Row," "Exotics Row," and more.
As we look back on Season 7, we want to thank the sponsors, friends, supporters, followers, and fans who made it possible. Columbus Cars and Coffee is a community and it is made great by the many amazing people contributing to it.
Special thanks to Kevin King and Lindsey Tinsley from Byers Imports, Andy Johnson and Jen Walker from Diamond Cellar, Craig Reed and Trina Allison from Studio 47, and Bill Bishop from Associated Insurance Agencies for their support this year. They helped make these events possible and their companies are all fantastic partners for our community. Be sure to visit their websites and support our sponsors!
Additional thanks to our CC&C Crew for their help with running the meets this year! Also, thanks to Niraj Shekhar from Matchbook Photography, Ed Hofmann, Tak Ip, Van Shuff, and the countless other photographers who helped to document Season 7. Despite owning Best Light Video, I'm always busy running the meets, and I rarely have time to properly capture them. I have used photos from them in this post and online throughout the season. To see more of their photos from the season,click here!
Season 8 will launch in early 2016 with Season Opener Party 2016. All of the details for the party and next season are being kept secret for now, but we'll post some teasers as we get closer to the new year. Stay tuned to this blog and our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts for information as we release it. Also, be sure to sign up for our mailing list by clicking Join Us. We're sending 1-2 e-mails per month with event info, etc.

Has The Idea of Democracy Failed?
I was having an interesting conversation here the other day. It started with the recent discussions about Ukraine and Russia's incursion into Crimea. Most of us have seen stories on the news referencing all sorts of Cold War topics and it got me thinking about the discussions that were ongoing at that time about the failure of Communism. I actually studied quite a bit on these sorts of topics in college since my major was political science with a focus on political theory.
My topic of conversation then shifted to the problems we seem to be having so often over the past decade or so of mistrust. Mistrust of people with their government, with their teachers, with corporations. It just seems like everyone is angry or upset with everyone else, and to some extent there is some legitimacy to that idea. It all sort of came to an exclamation point in my head this evening when I saw this video from this afternoon from 60-Minutes about problems with our the stock market currently operates. It got me thinking that we have gotten to a point now in society that perhaps we can say that "democracy" (really republicanism, but we will say democracy since that is what the media likes to say) and perhaps our notion of capitalism has failed, much the same way communism has. Look at the story for example from the Washington Post where a kindergarten teacher quit their job because it is no longer about teaching.
Now this is not to say that capitalism has failed when you look at it from a GDP or market perspective. We consistently see data that shows that the US GDP and stock markets are continually rising. At the same time however we see consistent data that wealth in the US is not being distributed evenly and that the problem is worsening. It makes me feel that we sort of should be questioning what exactly should be the measurement of success for our national concepts. It feels like from a policy perspective, when truly trying to look at policies that benefit the nation, we have seen increased evidence that the core ideas of the democracy decision making process. Is the final measurement of success really just the wealth of our nation as a whole? What exactly should be the measurement of that wealth? GDP? Culture? Test Scores? Art?

TAnother one I found on Netflix. This one I found entertaining but there is so many simiar out there that was done so much better. I can definitely see myself watching it again but not one I would have in my yearly must sees. While I liked most the characters... some did get on my nerves a bit. Luckily most of them only had small parts.
This is one i found on Netflix. On one hand I liked all the characters tjhey used for this animated short or episode of a series... not sure which it is. I especially liked seeing Captain Marvel. It is the first thing I have seen her in. Giving me a look into what kind of character she is. Now I am looking even more forward to the movie coming out. But on the other hand I really didn't care much for the story line. It just didn't feel good enough. Though I do realize I am not the target demographic and that is most likely the reason there. I just expect more from Marvel with all the films.
Miracle on 34th Street is an irresistible fable that has, for many years, become synonymous with celebrating Christmas. And now this three-time Oscar®-Winning* role is as resplendent as the holiday itself in an all-new Blu-ray version that's sure to delight fans old and new!
The holiday season is in full swing when a cultured gentleman with twinkling eyes, an ample belly, and a snowy beard (Edmund Gwenn) is hired as Macy's department store Santa. He claims his name is Kris Kringle, and soon fills everyone with Christmas spirit....except for his boss, Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), who's raising her daughter (Natalie Wood) to not believe in Santa. But when Kringle is declared insane, and put on trail, everyone's faith is put to the test as young and old alike face the age-old question. Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Several years ago a good friend of mine gave me this movie. At the time I never seen it before. Now I make sure to see it every year around this time... and I am enjoying it more with every viewing. This is a true holiday classic! This is one of the very few movies that I don't see a way that it could be any better. If you never seen this classic '40s Christmas movie... You should be sure to watch it as soon as possible... I don't believe you will be sorry. I highly recommend it!
Keeping the tradition alive... I always watch the movie when I first start to wrap Christmas presents. This has always been one of my favorites. I have watched it every year since it came out. It just does not feel like the Christmas season until I watch this film. In my opinion... everyone should watch this one at least once. I think it is a fun film for everyone in the family. Highly recommended!
I really can't watch the first one with out watching part 2. This is a fun sequel. I enjoyed it quite a bit... though it isn't as good as the first part. I liked the whole story line of making him get a wife and all. I just didn't care much for the idea of having a toy Santa taking over the North Pole. But over all well worth the time put in to watch it.
It's a week before Christmas, and Paula (Nicole Eggert) is struggling with bills, life with her blue-collar husband Gary and her two daughters. So when Nick, her high school boyfriend, returns to town a wealthy art gallery owner, Paula begins to wonder where she would be if she stayed with him, and not Gary. When Paula makes a holiday wish to see what life would have been like had she made another choice, she is magically transported through her washer/dryer to a parallel life where she is Nick's wife. At first, this other life seems the answer to her dreams, as she shops and dines out with her new found wealth. But she soon realizes that the grass is NOT always greener on the other side. Her relationship with Nicks is in shambles, and she misses her real husband Gary and her two girls. When she sees Gary and her kids living a happy life with another woman, she wishes for just one more Christmas gift - to have back the life she didn't appreciate.
This is one I never seen before Gen bringing it home to me from work the other day. A decent enough flick... but no more then average. The characters really wasn't that likable and the story line needed work. I mean come on... a magical dryer causes her to live the life she would have had if she stayed with an old boyfriend. Definitely not one to be put in my yearly line-up.

Ok so despite being happy with AmiKit 8 I've spent the additional money on AmiKit 10 & happy-ish but there 's a really annoying issue during boot-up I want to resolve.
I run my AmiKit system in Windowed mode at 1600x900 resolution & have WinUAE setting sorted accordingly but when i boot AmiKit 10 it insists in sticking with a lower resolution boot screen (with the bar at the top going left to right) so it is out off centre to the left appears & then the 1600x900 windows as WinUAE instructs eveentually overides (so the windows expands to the right is correct). It's like AmiKit has a specific lower resolution splash screen it defaults to regardless of how WinUAE is setup. If there a way i can sort this out to tell AmiKit to stop being stupid & use my 1600x900 WinUAE window screen resolution for its left to right bootup bar-ry-thing starup sequence?
the default boot images are fixed size depending on your AmiKit MorpheuZ settings (HD 1366x768 or FullHD 1920x1080).
If you use different resolution for your AmiKit desktop, the default boot image is always shown in HD or FullHD and then, when AmiKit is ready, the screen mode is switched to your actual AmiKit desktop resolution, which is in your case 1600x900.
To avoid screen mode switching, you can either disable the boot image (MorpheuZ > Startup Control > Startup Picture) or you can create your own 1600x900 boot image. To do so, run AmiKit:Prefs/ShowAmiga96_Prefs program and select "Images". Disable the "Alice" one and press Add button to add your own. Later you can experiment with the progressbar - click the "Effects" tab and edit "Progressbar" entry. You might want to check Alice's progressbar settings for inspiration.

Anadol Fan Club is established , to keep alive the 53 years-old Anadol brand and cars and to get Anadol owners and fans together under this Club. Our aim is to explain the importance of Anadol brand in Turkish automotive sector, to inform the young generation about the different Anadol models, to share all information on maintenance, to make aware of restoration and to carry Anadol brand at its deserved level.
By surfing within the pages, we hope you will find all necessary information and documents related to Anadol.
Mr. Vehbi Koc, Turkish businessman and industrialist, had a dream to manufacture a domectic car in Turkey. In 1928, he was a Ford dealer in Ankara. After the World War II, he was dealing with Italian Fiat to produce tractor in Turkey. In 1959, he was manufacturing Ford trucks in Otosan. In 1960, Otosan started to manufacture Ford Thames trucks and Ford Consul cars in its assembly line. In 1961, Ford Thames Trader minibus assembly line has been added to the production; and 240 Ford Taunus 17M estate cars have been produced within 1963-1965. And it was the right time for a national car.
Volvo had the first safety belts in 1849. The first U.S. patent for automobile seat beats was issued to Edward J. Claghorn of New York, New York on February 10, 1885. Claghorn was granted United States Patent #312,085 for a Safety-Belt for tourists, described in the patent as "designed to be applied to the person, and provided with hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object."
According to 2008 data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 2,983 individuals were killed in car accident related crashes. Of these traffic deaths, 1,795 individuals were either drivers or passengers in safety belt equipped vehicles. Sixty percent (1,085) of these people killed were not wearing a safety belt.
Robin Sharma, the world's most famous life coach and author of "The Monk who sold his Ferrari" has been in Istanbul Turkey, for the presentation of his new book. During his interview, he drove an Anadol and found the car very "cool" and said "Forget Ferrari, be happy with Anadol. Capture the moment with plenty of dishes with chat, eat more respect for your work" he says.
The Peking to Paris rally ended on Saturday with a parade through the streets of Paris celebrating the end of this remarkable 10,000 mile event. A large crowd including many friends and family greeted the cars when they entered Place Vendome after roller skating marshals cleared their progress round the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysees.
It is 37 days since a total of 98 cars set out from the Chinese capital, coming from 26 different countries, thought to be a motorsport record.
With ages ranging from the oldest, a 103 year old six litre Itala to a 1970 Vauxhall, the competition was divided into three leaderboards.
Within last decade, we see some producers are reproducing some of their vintage models with a new design and consept. We witness that these models are still preferred.
New VW Scirocco is a good exemple of such a reproduced cars, like GM's Camaro, Mustang, Corvette and some more could be listed.
And now, Anadol STC has ben redesigned as a consept car by a Turkish Designer, Mr. Hayri Istay. We appreciate his work which offers the soul of Anadol STC of 70's and carry to 2010.

If your manufacturing plant, factory, warehouse, or commercial/industrial building needs a major interior or exterior overhaul, you need to contact a specialized painting contractor company. Induspray offers exceptional industrial painting services throughout the Akron, Ohio region. Professional at what we do, we are skilled painting contractors. We have a team of painters who work safely and take on larger tasks head on. Regardless of whether the facility needs painting or coating on the outside or inside, Induspray can take easily handle it. We focus on preparing buildings prior to painting, and any old, dirty and contaminated facility is met as a welcomed challenge. We specialize in large jobs, and spray painting galvanized metal deck ceilings.
For a successful painting project, a solid, clean surface underneath an area that is to be painted is always required, and hence it must be properly prepared. Suitable surface prep must be utilized in order for paints and coatings to stick to the surface correctly. If this is not done, the job will fail over time and require being corrected and redone, thus increasing the overall project costs. Induspray strongly believes the job should be done right the first time, and takes the necessary steps in order to make sure the surface is ready for painting or coating. A number of techniques are utilized, depending upon the situation, to prepare the surface for the coating stage. Some of these methods include: hot water power washing, aggregate blasting, solvent cleaning, mechanically shot blasting surfaces, CO2 cleaning, abrasion, high-pressure water washing, steam cleaning and others.
Induspray’s team of highly-trained, skilled painters all have the experience needed to apply coatings properly. One of the methods that they are especially knowledgeable in, and use often, is airless spray painting. Depending on each project scenario, painting techniques are carefully planned in order to provide optimum results. As industrial painting professionals, we work in Akron, Ohio in many industrial sites that may include interiors that have areas that are difficult to reach, or exteriors which are high. Induspray’s painting crews utilize appropriate access equipment in order to safely and effectively complete any painting project at our job sites.
High-performance coatings and paint are all that we use at Induspray, and we have a large selection to choose from. We determine which is best for each job based upon its length of wear and tear, the environmental conditions of area where it will be applied, and the customer’s budget. Upon analysis of the project, we choose which type to use including: urethanes, enamels, latex coatings, alkyd coatings, epoxies, polyurethanes, rust-inhibiting coatings, high-adhesion coatings, quick-dry paints, slip-resistant coatings, and LEEDS-certified coatings. We choose the paint system for the job that will have the best performance, while also being equally cost effective. We carefully analyze the situation further for exterior projects which must stand up to the sometimes harsh climate experienced in Akron, Ohio and across the state.
As a reliable choice for commercial and industrial painting projects in Akron, OH, Induspray has been in business and serving the area since 1975. During that time, we have accumulated extensive experience in various industrial painting scenarios through numerous projects, giving our painting crews the knowledge of what to do and how to do it correctly. Through the use of effective project managers, skilled painters, and a valuable network of suppliers and industry partners, we ensure that each project is successfully completed and on timely.
With the large volume of work that we do while refinishing millions of square feet with paint and coatings annually, our costs end up being noticeably lower than those of our competition. That’s because we buy very large volumes of supplies, allowing us to secure the lowest possible wholesale pricing with suppliers. This is good news for our customers, since we pass on much of these savings to them, resulting in lower total project costs.

Sony’s mid-entry console move is surprising to say the least. Every 3rd year of its console cycle, the company has slimmed down its console, but this year it both slimmed down the console, and is releasing a more powerful model, the PS4 Pro.
It is important to know just what the PS4 Pro is all about. The PS4 Pro is a more powerful PlayStation 4 with double the processing power of the current PS4. This allows the PS4 Pro to render higher resolutions such as 4K, as well as produce greater visual fidelity with HDR. The PS4 Pro will have both enhancements to 4K, and 1o80p games, so the console is not limited to the TV in use.
The PS4 Pro has been mainly built for 4K TVs. It has double the processing power of the PS4 Slim, which gives the PS4 Pro the ability to output native 4K, or even upscaled 4K. This would all be useless without a 4K TV, but there is one major feature that will be useful to you if you don’t own a 4K TV, and that is the enhanced 1080p modes.
Many of the games coming out, and current titles, will have separate graphics options for those who are using their PS4 Pro on the 1080p display. These graphics modes will see games run at 60fps, with visual enhancements such as ambient occlusions, water reflections, sharper images with the use of super sampling, and other HDR tweaks. This means that it will sacrifice the ability to output the 4K, to power up the game’s other features. Those of you with a 4K display, will be able to choose from playing the game in 4K, or using this 1080p enhanced mode.
Do You Want Better 1080p Visuals?
This is something that every PS4 owner should ask themselves. The PS4 Pro will be able to run every game slightly better than the PS4 Slim, and when new games come out next year, they would have been specifically tweaked to make use of the power the PS4 Pro packs. Sony has assured us that the older PS4 consoles will not suffer from the inability to perform certain tasks in these games, and the limitations to the enhancements between the PS4 Pro and Slim, can only be graphical. This means that you should not expect PS4 Pro games to be completely different from the normal games; the core game will still be the same.
How Old Is Your PS4?
For those of you who just bought your PS4, this is now an issue. You just got your console and there is another one on the market. But consider this: by the time March 2017 rolls around, we will have so many games that have been developed with the PS4 Pro in mind, that the graphical differences will be astonishing. That is when the upgrade might seem like an attractive buy for you.
If you have owned a PS4 for a while, and you feel that a new console purchase can happen, then the PS4 Pro will be the model to go with. Granted that the console will be more expensive than the PS4 Slim that comes in at R5199. Expect to pay R6999 for the PS4 Pro.
PlayStation VR is a massive hit, and the PS4 Pro will take advantage of it by bypassing the processor unit on the PSVR, and outputting enhanced visuals to the headset directly from the console itself. This means that if you have a PS4 Pro, and a PSVR, your gaming sessions will have the upper hand to playing a standard PS4.
Keep in mind, the PSVR headset display is capped at 1080p, so you will not play 4K games on the headset.
The PS4 Pro will work on 1080p screens.
The PS4 Pro will be able to enhance visuals in either 4K or 1080p enhanced modes.
All PS4 models will support HDR.
PSVR will benefit from the power of PS4 Pro.
PS4 Pro will require a 4K TV to display 4K enabled games, but an HD or 4K TV to display 1080p enhancements.
PS4 Pro will cost R6999 in South Africa.
Are you picking up a PS4 Pro up when it releases in SA next month? Let us know in the comments below.

The gender, of course, should be irrelevant, and there really ought to be a period after “favor.” Also, I do rather wish there were a comma after “for me” and agreement in number between “some person” and “their.” But the idea is brilliant; let us hope the above heralds a new age of more literary one-night stands.

If you post this on fb Ms. Feirtag, I am sure you will get a hundred shares!
Lovely to hear from you! And how very kind of you to say so! I have no presence on Facebook, though. I find I have more than enough to do with the places where I already lurk. But I do know (and am related to) many people who find Fb indispensable : ).
Perfect! I worked in a book store for many years, and met quite a few men this way!
Your story cracked me up. What a brilliant fellow to realize that the last one left was not necessarily the least desirable! And good for you for appreciating and rewarding his candour.

"Through our obedience to Him to pray together, we can exponentially give birth to new believers. Isn't it exciting that we can come together to seek His heart, with no other accessories needed, gain a glimpse of His heart and pray then with results? As we watch reality correspond with what we felt in prayer, the Truth Himself gets outs and the power is released to change hearts! His Holy Spirit is that real. His Love is that real."
You just know people, how we are and how we are not; By cross referencing Scriptures, we get a picture of the Event at Calvary. At one point, both thieves, to Jesus right and left were hurling insults. (Matthew 27:44) But something changed, when one began to defend Jesus.
We don't know for certain, but my deepest gut believes that one man glanced into Jesus' eyes. He saw Something strange, foreign, but powerfully sincere. The same Heart which caused a Roman soldier to declare that "This man had to have been a son of the gods" as he heard Jesus plead his enemies' case to a grieving Father, was the same thing that caused this dying thief to have compassion on the One dying for him - though the thief did not know it at the time.
In other words, "You are good. I can see this. I'm not. And I deeply know this. Only someone like you could ever have any redeeming affect on this selfish heart and sorry life I have lived. It would be more than I deserve if you just remembered my face." The truth of our condition became so clear in this moment and this man, looking at his life, filled with regret and shame, yet feeling for Another, was timidly, but not expectedly, asking for just a memory in the heart of this Good Man. He wasn't even thinking or hoping for eternal life, for he knew he didn't deserve it. The theological debate in those days was whether or not eternal life was real or not anyway. A memory would be more than he ever deserved.
And all that is the Heart of Heaven with compassion so eternally deep looked back into this man's heart and in effect said: "Not only will I remember your face, heart and name...but even better...today you're going to be with Me. You're not alone. I'm here with you now and together we will always be."
God submits to us through history the very same thing this thief saw in Jesus eyes. That thing is literally and tangibly, not metaphorically, the same substance that zapped a man like a bug which negligently touched the Ark of the Covenant. This thing is pure Love; A love so white-hot that nothing selfish can get within an eternity of Him. Yet He wrapped this Love in human flesh and that Love walked among us, bowed down to us to wash our feet and died of a broken heart to heal ours, while pleading our case in real time. By faith he counted his murderers to be his future friends and anticipated us as the wonderful reward of His suffering.
He didn't see cowards and murderers; He sees friends.
His heart is insane. In short, He's absolutely crazy.
Praise be to the living God for His wonderful, foolish, insane, unbelievable Love!
There is Nobody with a Heart like His.
We know the discipline of studying the Word, but we must learn the discipline of prayer, especially corporate prayer. Both disciplines are given life in worship, for Bible study without a prayer life is nothing more than a powerless performance and act. It is rife with pride and suffocating legalism. When the Church returns this Heart to the Center of Church life via the continual, seeking corporate prayer meeting, this Heart will once again begin to pour through us via inspired prayers and invade the hearts of others with no need of any other assistance. For no apparent reason people will come into contact with Him, God will call their name through our prayers and they will suddenly encounter Love Himself; Just as this now ex-thief had an encounter, so are those whose names are called out by praying believers, are also destined to hear Love's voice.
Through our obedience to Him to pray together, we can exponentially give birth to new believers. Isn't it exciting that we can come together to seek His heart, with no other accessories needed, gain a glimpse of His heart and pray then with results? As we watch reality correspond with what we felt in prayer, the Truth Himself gets out and the power is released to change hearts! His Holy Spirit is that real. His Love is that real. This insane Heart is very real. Now it is time for us to get real about how little we know Him. Let's get real.
The time to seek Him together has come.
Our hearts should desire to please Him after what He did for us.

Set in 1905, The Royale is a play loosely based on the story of the first African-American heavyweight boxing champion, John Jackson. It illustrates Jackson's journey in battling his way to the top of his profession, against the intense racial discrimination that not only surrounded the sport, but also society as a whole at that time. Jackson, played by the powerful Nicholas Pinnock, comes to realise that whether he wins or loses, it will undoubtedly provoke further tension, anger and violence.
The audience is seated, rather fittingly, on four sides of the wooden platform-stage, to form a replica boxing ring. The play opens with a fight between Jackson and his soon-to-be training partner, with his charismatic promotor, played by Ewan Stewart, instantly drawing the audience in and enthusing us to cheer on the boxers.
I was wondering if this play would comprise of endless stage fighting, however I was pleasantly surprised to find that each of the fight scenes were uniquely choreographed with an air of elegance and stylistic movement.
Nina, played by Frances Ashman, gives a performance of integrity and passion, ensuring that her brother, Jackson, never forgets his past. Pinnock's performance is one of depth and reveals a man who was physically capable and mentally determined but finds that the ghosts from his past cause moments of doubt and deep sadness. The entire cast should be congratulated on their slick and unified performance.
The lighting truly brought the piece together, with clever colours and quick changes that correlated with certain elements of the piece. Similarly, the music throughout created tension and carried the play along.
Don't miss this opportunity: book a ticket and head along to see this gripping show - you can even relax in the Bush's vibrant café-bar to complete your evening!
