From Gamepro "Ask the pros":
"Valcore: A while ago you posted a response to the question about needing Blu-ray for gaming. After seeing games like MotorStorm which took up 16GB of space and loose talk about Metal Gear Solid 4 filling up 50GB, has your opinion changed or do you still feel that its not necessary?
Mr. Marbles: Hey Valcore. While this was no doubt a long time ago, I don't remember saying we don't need Blu-ray, but I probably said that we're not ready for it yet.
I still feel that Blu-ray is not an absolute necessity for gaming at this current stage, though it will be within the next few years. There's no denying that Xbox 360 DVD-9 games like Gears of War can produce huge, beautiful gaming experiences, but as technology becomes more advanced, the amount of data on discs will definitely increase. Hence, Blu-ray is a big plus for Sony developers..."
I also think it will be a plus but BR will not come in handy for some time.
we don't need bluray or hd-dvd... but we absolutely hungger of space for sure... so question is... how much space do we need???
well.. bluray offer more space than hd-dvd...
remember when we our first CD-ROM platform? then DVD-ROM platform?
now we have another new platform.. either HD-DVD or BLURAY...
just enjoy the new technology guys... don't denied anything that you can't afford rite now.. you will can... the price will drop. and it will be affortable.
space are needed because of the new technology needs it... we used to have a 4Gb of harddrive... remember? and it's still expanding until now... now we can get a 750Gb or 1Tb (if you have extra money)
our digital camera also keep expanding... from 1Megapixel ... to 16 or eve 39 Megapixel (for proffesional)
which actually you can use 6Mpx is good enough to print A3 Size of paper.
HD video will take more space than normal SD format. do you guys don't expect to see ingame movies?? well I do... I love that part. who want to put and SD format ingame movie, while we have an HDTV???
HD movie will be still looks great on SD TV
but SD movie will looks crap on HDTV
just enjoy the tech~ we r living in the future now... our technology are expanding faster than before~
While not needed now, it definitely will be next gen of consoles and certainly will be a bonus for Sony at the later stage of this current "next" gen.
MS made a gut call on the format. They were launching early, and thus were trying to do two things...keep the console cheaper while having high performance and staying neutral because of uncertainty of the winning format. MS made the right move for them given their situation and timing, and Sony certainly assuming bluray wins is in a good spot 3yrs from now.
i think microsoft made the right call by sticking with DVD-9 (maybe they can even do a firmware update to support DVD-20 and it will be a mute point)
this keeps the price down and allows the format war to take place outside of microsofts format. The next generation will definitely need to support a HD media but right now it will simply require some fancier footwork from developers to fit everything, but it won't matter as long as games are selling and are still fun.
A larger disk capacity doesn't make the game any better... so to say it is "needed" for gaming is silly (unless we're talking floppy disk or even CDs) DVD-9 is fine for now, and even if a few rpgs are multidisk, it won't be the end of the world...
I agree w/ equis that larger capacity discs aren't a necessity and that having multi-disc games is no big deal. I personally was never bothered by multi-game discs but w/ HD games it will eventually become an issue.
@ Dlacy13g - I don't think Sony included BluRay support in the PS3 because they assumed that it would be the winning format. They included BluRay in the PS3 to MAKE IT the winning format.
But remember as the guy says, it's not about having different levels on different discs...it's about bigger textures, animation, environments...that has to be on one disc, that is unless you install one disc on the HD first.
GOW of ps3...PAL version couldnt include the HD mode because of the languages they needed to support...ran out of space.
GOW not fitting the HD mode was one part to do with disk space (although they probably could have found the room) the other part (which was recently admitted http://www.pro-g.co.uk/news... ) has more to do with formating of the screen.
Textures only need to be on the disk that are associated with that level. If i'm on an ice world i don't need the lava world textures...
It was for 576p...next-gen games are 720p or more...how would they make GOW3 amazing without extra space?
3 years... try next year. shoot even this year, with some unnamed game(s) on other console(s) being on multiple DVD discs. Some people are just gonna have to eat their words, like this guy. Maybe they'll taste better with ketchup.
This year? Nah...there may be one or two games that could really "need" it but on a whole its not needed this year..and I would say most of 2008 will be the same...but the later part of 08 I think we will see the shift happening...and then 2009 will come with the need more or less being very, very apparent. So call it 2 years..maybe a smidge more.
1.Can we use Blu-ray for storage purposes and gaming? YES. I'll admit more space is always better, but doesn't always mean games won't be padded with extra junk.
2.Do we need a new movie format? NO, DVD was needed at the end of the VHS era and the Quality was amazing when compared. DVD vs blue-ray, the average user couldn't give a funk. Especially after collecting a huge library, only after 6 years or so, and many people don't yet own HDTV's.
3.Was upgrading your TV for DVD movies when it first came out a requirment? NO
4.Does the little difference in pixels worth $3000 + a HD player, to Grandpa and Soccer moms, and hard working middle-class? NO
needed yes drvs need all the tools at ther disposel,why the hell you think these systems are packing hard drive. come on think ppl
do we need blu-ray or hddvd
how can we ask do we need blu-ray when first of all their is no clear format still.
do we need blu-ray or hddvd? for movies in hi-def <-- yes BUT not yet ppl are not ready for it still.
for gaming do we need blu-ray or hddvd -> NOT yet, but PS3 was smart for including it because I think we will in a year or two anyway.
one thing ps3 users dont really about is $$$$$$
how much $$$ does it take to make a video game????
do u guys really believe one day sony will have a game that will fill a whole blue ray disc???
that will not happen it will cost too much $$$ for just one game
one thing you guys dont think about is that the best advantage of blue FOR GAMING is just that they do not need to compress and compress and compress some more
that is the main advantage for blu-ray, for dvd-9 it will be a pain in the butt to compress because they will have to do alot of it for evetything when it comes to dvd-9 when they make a long game.
you might see games that fill up or use alot of space on blue ray but not because the game will be long or huge or have soo much, but because they do not have to worry about compressing as much
a good example
R:FOM how much GB did that game use on Blu-ray??? was that game really long??? was their soo many more things u can do in that game then other pc games and xbox360 games?? the answer is NO
but that game used alot of space because they did not have to worry about compressing
Common give this crap up already! How many devs have said the will be using the space soon.
Lair - each level is coming in around 4GB (not including the 7.1 HD audio) (game is 8-10levels)
Heavenly Sword will come in around 15-20 GB total
MGS4 - already stated that they will using a huge chunk of a 50 GB blu-ray disk
Killzone2 - will definatley be above 30 GB maybe more than 35GB
Motorstorm - came in at about 15 GB I think!
And thats what we know about now, what are other devs in development planning, now that they have space to use without restrictions!
So give up, with the "its not needed, or its not needed now" crap devs are using it, and thats all that matters!
first generation titles are already using the space. We are 5 months into the so called next gen, and the games are already getting bigger. You guys remember the jump from DVD to DVD9? Well the growth is exponential. If you guys are happy investing in another console in the next 2 years, that fine. I'm not. I bought this thing for the long haul, 6+ years. I feel good knowing that the format being used with not be changing.
They would have launched with HD-DVD if it was ready. If they did, the BluRay vs HD-DVD battle would have gone the other way (no ways Sony would be able to battle a 10m HD-DVD market. But as it played out, HD-DVD was not ready, and MS wanted to launch early - as they did not want to launch head to head with the PS3. The gamble gave them a large lead, but without the key functionality of a high capacity drive.
In the third and fourth year this is going to show - but we will have to wait and see how much. And for those who waffle about the compression techniques - I guess you are running all your stuff super compressed on 20MB hard disks. At some point - you need bigger space.
Sorry but Gears was a very short game, with very few weapons, and very few online features...
There is no doubt in my mind that it will be used.
No one HAS to use that space, heck you could still make a game fit on a CD if you wanted to. Whats the point? Rather devs do whatever they want rather then pick and choose what to include.
didn't we have this argument already? or am i experiencing deja-vu?
Firewire.. The dev's who do they work for .. well for right now??? Sony.. So ya I think thats called pushing the Product.. It would be dumb for the Lairs dev's to say .."No we dont need BR it wasa waste of time since we got everything on a Dvd0".. So yaa your argument is mute ... I agree more storage on a disc is needed .. But when games start to become closer to teh 9Gig point... Oblivion was on a Dvd9.. How much space is it on Ps3??? When we start to see games at 8..8.5. that sort of thing then we will need a new Format.. But until then .> Bdisk's are a lot of hassle.. Hard to configure for them and a lot of problems.. THats why a lot of Hddvd's are not even out on BR yet.. So ya . It's not needed yet for the MAJORITY ..
Nobodys pushing anything. Dev's make there own call on this stuff. I'm sorry but F5's Lair is coming out in July, its a 32X32 km world, the dev stated 4GB per level not including audio. To suggest there bloating levels to make them big is assinine, to say the least! What dev doesn't want more space, space is the thing that limits them the most!
Don't try and bash Sony for giving dev's more options, MS could have gone this route, but choose not to, therefore limiting the options that devs have! and insuring that you will have to again buy another xbox console in 2 years!
If you can't make a decent argument about the topic, don't reply with crap!
cough, cough.....Oblivion...cough, cough.....
thats all I will say about Lair and its massive world. Bottom line there are plenty of ways to create games and compress the down using todays tech....and make them fantastic and fit on DVD9.
Down the road...larger space will be needed as the hardware itself is better and can do MORE at one time than either console can now. That is going to be the real key. When we have consoles that have almost zero bottle-necks for processing info...we will see the need to push massive amounts of data at one time, and then the games will truly be bigger and better because they truly will be doing more at one time than ever before and doing it well.
Umm first off let me say this is really weird seing my question getting taken off like it was some kind of interview and generating this much response. But there was a couple of things i wanted to add.
1. as for not many people having hdtvs, check your stats again this year had a huge jump in purchase of hdtv. Unfortunately i am stuck working retail atm and i happen to sell tvs and other electronics. and the majority of people i see buying the hdtvs are the soccer moms and the average joe. They arent always buying the top top of the line tvs but they are always getting the hdtvs and not the sdtvs. Every single one of them want to see the diffrence and justify the purchase and when i show them the diffrence they are alwasy happy.
2. To me the Blu ray vs HDdvd issue is solved regardless of the fact its in a ps3. Just the number of studios that support blu ray and those that support blu ray exclusive compared to HDdvd proved it. And that is the main reason why they are winning the war more movies.
3. Gnothe1 you also asked why only sony games are needing the space? Because they were made exclusive to the ps3 the devs are using that space because they know its there, if a developer is doing multi or 360 exclusive they dont have that space unless they go multi disc which increases costs for them to produce so they will try and compress it down till it fits.
Also curious even if you cut out all the extras (which i kinda like having) if you have it in 720p would it all fit on a dvd9?
I think Its wierd that the biggest and Best looking games are on PC and they still fit them on a dvd...i look at it this way Crysis wont come out on a Blu-Ray Disc and it'll be just fine.
Take a look at how huge they get after being installed. With some consoles you get the ability to install some of the game data to the internal hard disk, but for the most part you are 100% reliant on the optical disc for all of your game storage.
Now, DVD9 WITH the ability to install on the hard drive (as it is on the PC), and you can essentially work around the size limitations of your optical media. DVD9 by itself? You better have some amazing compression techniques.
And speaking of compression, it takes CPU and RAM resources to decompress the data before loading it into system memory. Ideally, you wouldn't want to have to work with compression unless you HAD to.
Do we really need to question the same over and over?
Im Waiting for Sony to screw us and put out Gran Turismo with a certain amount of cars and make you pay for the rest and say that they could'nt fit them in is why
Ofcourse we do i dont even need to read it to no that! i mean come on Jebissaveme posted it.
Will devs spend 3 or 4 extra years and spend 10s of millions more to develope games with such small fanbases? maybe if one of the fanbases were as big as the PS2 fanbase full Xbox/360 game attach-rates.
32x32 KM levels without sound. 4 gigs each. Took years to develope. Amazingly detailed 32x32 KM worlds at that.
good to see at least people are "consistent"
I didn't know Jebissaveme was a sony fanatic. Maybe i've been living under a rock?
if we want advanced games we need blu ray, period. of course zelda was a good game, and it takes only near 2 megabytes on the snes, but please you know you cant stop the progress. of course gevs will make fit on a dvd9 on the xbox360 if they must do it, but it limits their imagination of the game, limits are always not good, thats the reason we see better and better computers.
PC get away with using upto DVD9 cos every PC has a standard hard drive, which the game can install too. X360 does'nt have the hard drive as standard in all SKU's(both the hard drive & HD DVD should have been standard on all 360 SKU's from the off)huge mistake by microsoft. Another plus is both PS3 SKU's having Blu-ray & Hard drives as standard.
I think the more creative and (not the lazy ones)will be able to put more of their creativity to the test using this format.
started filling up 9GB DVDs, people started waking up about games needing a larger format. I would argue that as a game format we need Blu-ray right now, but as a movie format we don't need it for at least two or three years. However, it's better to be early that late. The sensitive individuals who contend that DVD is perfectly fine, despite an exponential increase in space requirements, often claim that Pre-rendered CG cinemas are the main culprit of space requirements. But there's actually nothing wrong with those cinemas. Criticizing developers for trying to give us the highest quality entertainment experience is bizarre to say the least. Of course, then they bring 'compression techniques' into the picture, claiming the more compression is better. Guess they forgot that heavier compression requires greater CPU and RAM resources to pull off. In fact, a lot of 360 titles are dedicating an entire core to constant decompression of assets.
I agree with everything you said..
Now there is no need for me to make a real post.
For the very same reasons he mentioned, graphics, physics and scales of enviroments Sony's inhouse studios are already making the most of it and this will become more apparent by the end of the year...
Larger capacity is a good thing. Anyone saying different is an idiot. To think DVD9 is "good enough" and developers will have to get creative it pretty naive. Example? Gears of War. Sure it fit on DVD9. All 5 hours of gameplay.
GEARS was only on ONE SIDE OF THE DVD
Please quit believing the shorter campaign was because of that.
So - you could double the size of GeOW - but you would have to swap disks. And you could make it the same size as Lair... But then you needed to have awhole load of DVD's, and had to search for what is it now - disk 12 .. erm side 2 of disk 6, now where did I put it again...
Hell - you could put it on double sided CD's - and have a hundred CD's yo shuffle through every time you go to different locations... but hey - you would most prob like to have it compressed to the point where it is 320p and with low sample sound - hey - midi sound with no sampling, in mono - that should save space. Hey - maybe you should just get a Gameboy - that will really work with small format sizes....
3rd party dev's don't want to tell the consumer Blu-Ray is needed because 360 is a profitable format at the moment, they are limited to what they can do tho and will milk people with downloadable content...
Sony were later to the game but doubled there inhouse studios since the previous generation, so basically all inhouse dev's are making the most of blu-ray and the cell processor as we speak to push the Playstaion 3 format forward, exclusive games LAIR, Heavenly Sword, Killzone, Getaway, 8 days, MGS4 etc... once these games show what PS3 is capable of without the fud of 3rd party dev's everyone will be crying out for 3rd party dev's to make the most of the power or people won't buy there games for PS3...
Inhouse is good for Sony remember guys they own all the publishing rights and profit then, it's good business sense so worry less about 3rd party and more about how the exclusives are going to turn out because there the ones making the most out of the system...
now everyone on this site is a programmer. I certainly don't profess to be. What I do know that's indefinite is that more space is better. Every programmer is in agreement with this. Sony has always planned for the future. This is what I like about Sonys strategy. 360 fans say it isn't needed now. Well I ask the question, how long before we need Blu Ray? Most have said 3 years time. Wouldn't you expect a systems life cycle to last more than 3 years?
exactly. If blu-ray isnt needed by this winter.. it will be by 2008.. maybe even 2009. So is MS going to come out with a new system within that time? It kinda looks like they will have to.
When MGS comes out, people are gonna cry for more space...
Its funny how many of you talk about Bluray not being needed and that it doesn't make any sense to buy your whole DVD library over again for HD. For your information the PS3 plays both Bluray and DVD's so its sort of a mute point.
A lot of you have no vision, and are missing the point completely. Sony, I believe, planned for the future, almost like car insurance, you never get into an accident but when you do your glad you planned ahead for the unexpected. I would much rather have Bluray now than have to struggle with memory issues later, it just makes sense.
Blue Dragon is just the beginning of things to come, but it would probably be good exercise for a lot of you to get off your butts and change your disks. Haha. Kidding.
Nice, POG, you disagree with me knowing I am right. Most of the arguments against Bluray are bogus. Once developers get out of the mindset of the limitations that come with regular DVD, there will be more and more need for space. CGI movies or not, more space will become more important. There is ways of getting around things but in the end when DVD9 is all filled up Bluray will just be getting started. It's all a matter of approach, and if you don't mind changing the disk mid-game then there is no need to discuss this further.
Blu-rays needed because Sony says it is no one would be talking about it if Sony had never boasted about it, hell it might be needed in the future For Sony type of games with tons of CGI movies cut scenes etc. Sections of games are already being stored on HDDs anyways. And huge epic cutscene filled games like Blue Dragon can be done the same ways other games have done it in the past with no complaints i might add. Oblivion was so long/big i got rid of it.
Does the hole industry need Blu-ray probably not, what happens when somebody comes up with a DVD9-like Disc that holds more content then what?, what will Sony fanboys use as their last efforts to justify the PS3?.
"640K ought to be enough for anybody"
"no one could ever need more than 1.4MB for a removable storage device"
"no one will ever need the full 640MB a CD-ROM offers for storage for a game"
"Double Layer DVD's are not needed for console Games"
"BluRay is not needed by game developers"
are you able see a red line going in the quotes ?
Whoever said something as stupid as developers not being happy to have more space at hand to store stuff is going to get laughed at like the people who claimed the same BS every time a new bigger storage format came along. In a world according to PoG we would still sit in front of our little screens with our Z80 cpu and 640kb of ram and 1.44MB floppy disks
welcome to the real world PoG, more space is better then less space ..
bottom line, a larger storage medium is needed for the now and the future. PS3 was built to last a long time, not just for a few years like some other consoles. Both strategies have their pros and cons as well.
I would always opt to plan for the future, especially when it comes to technology. The problem is people have no patience or vision, they can never see past the next day.
The gentleman states " I still feel that Blu-ray is not an absolute necessity for gaming at this current stage, though it will be within the next few years." He never uses definitive language about Bluray, some of you might do well to hold off on your Bluray bashing. You will have to eat your words soon enough. Oblivion did fit, but would Nights of the Nine have fit on the disk as well? Why is Blue Dragon on multiple DVDs? It all points to the FACT that more space is and will be needed, maybe not now as much, but the evidence is all pointing to the fact that Sony made a good choice with Bluray. Get over it.
Just like they were the first one's to push the DVD format into consoles for extra space to developers, they were creating 3d games while Nintendo and Sega were still doing 2d ones.
Made a lot of sense. Who cares if Xbox 360 didn't put an HD-Rom in there. Maybe Ms's plan,(since they are in this for like 5 years or so) is to come out with the next Box with what-ever format wins, where it will make a majority of the difference.(plus DDC is still up in the air for the future), either way Ms is being cautious, while Sony expect the PS3 to last 10 years(good luck with that plan).
We will see what strategy works to the gamers advantage.
On another Note, Sony got lucky with the PSone, if it wasn't for Nintendo's arrogance, and greed. Nevertheless great timing.
i'd much rather get Blu Ray now, then have to buy a pricey add-on later (which would probably have cost $200 anyway, as Sony would have had to open up manufacturing plants to produce the separate BD drives for the PS3 anyway), or a completely new SKU that uses the BD drive for games and movies.
the fact of the matter is that games like Resistance and Motorstorm are over 15gigs, and these titles are coming from developers that aren't prone to sloppy coding.
the fact of the matter is that Blue Dragon, a second generation RPG is has shipped on 3 DVDs. Mass Effect is barely fitting on a dual layer DVD9, and they are doing all they can to make it fit. it's only a matter of time before they have to cut corners/features, to get it to fit. "but they'll just offer it as downloadable content! problem solved!" not when you look at Microsoft's business model. do you not think they will force developers to charge for that content that could have been included from the get go if the disc capacity was there? instead of paying the already ridiculous $60 for a game, you'll then be throwing an addition $5-$10 for content that could have been there.
all i know is that Resistance is a nearly 20 hour game, while Gears of War clocks in at 10 or so, and Microsoft was trying to force Epic to charge for the additional maps and content.
back to the Blu Ray issue, i think, for the long term, this was a good thing.
if they had left Blu Ray out (which, face it people, IS being used for gaming, not just to push their movie format, though that is definitely another motivating factor), their install base would have been segmented, and they would find themselves in a similar to position to Microsoft when games inevitably break that 9gig barrier (we know this is coming, it's not a matter of if, it is when).
since a lot of you don't want to accept that games get bigger with each successive generation, requiring not only horsepower, but storage capacity, lets work in hypotheticals:
IF games get larger than 9 gigs (they already are, but whatever), then Microsoft has made a very grievous long term error, unless they utilize their HD DVD drive for games. which they've already said they weren't going to do.
since 360 games are locked at 9 gigs, developers who have learned the advantages of more disc space (like Team Ninja and Hideo Kojima, who have had nothing but positive things to say about Blu Ray, and larger disc capacity in general), will find it hard pressed to want to work within the confines of 9 gigs. meaning any 360 take on their next gen game will probably have to lose quite a bit of something, whether it be content (affecting replay value and features), or graphics and other technical whooha(which would be a shame, as the 360 is a very capable machine)to make it fit on a 9gig disc.
i don't want this for gaming.
i don't want cheap game publishers using storage capacity as an excuse to give us lesser game experiences.
i don't want there to be a one-sided game industry either, with one console dominating the market with an iron fist.
i already feel sorry for the 360 owners and fans that actually *WANTED HDMI, and a larger hard drive (and there ARE 360 fans that do want those things, even if it's not every single last one, or any of you guys), but couldn't wait to get a 360, so they got the Premium, thinking it was the best deal, only to have MS sh*t in their cereal and release the Elite, meaning they'll have to either trade in their current 360 for chump change to get an Elite, or just buy the machine again.
i don't mean to make this post out into a MS negative rant, but as far as forward thinking goes (which any smart consumer considers the value he's getting for his dollar, and how long his investment will give him returns), i think Sony has ultimately done the right thing in including Blu Ray.
people questioned why they included DVD in the PS2, saying that "it drives up cost!", and "we don't NEED DVD!", because most games released on the PS2 during it's first year were still on CD, or barely used the 4 gigs available on a DVD.
we all saw what happened here. eventually, 4gigs wasn't enough, and games went on to dual layer, 9 gig discs, but the games that needed it were still on CDs (like Lego Star Wars).
it's not that i trust Sony's word and assertion that Blu Ray is the way of the future, i just trust my own intuition and observations of the gaming industry for the past 20 years.
i've seen games go from 2D sprites and blips, to high polygon and textured 3D models with near life-like graphics and physics and AI.
i've seen games change exponentially due to not only horsepower, but storage capacity.
Final Fantasy VII would not have been possible on an NES or SNES, and not just because of power issues. you needed a CD (three, apparently), and some horsepower, of course.
GTA3 would not have been possible on a PS1. you NEEDED a DVD and processing power.
and now we're still early into this new generation, and we've yet to see a game that really pushes home why we need Blu Ray, but to think that it isn't coming, and that more like it won't come after because of it, is rather close-minded.
something tells me that if Sony had included Blu Ray, but was able to charge $400 for it (and who knows, if they were able to release the console in 2007 like they originally planned, they may have done just that. thanks Microsoft), no one would have a problem, and would be singing Sony's praises.
the truth of the matter is that the PS3 is what it is, and it costs what it costs, and you don't HAVE to buy it, or own it within it's first few months or even year, on the market, if it's not to your liking. no one is forcing you to do anything, just like no one is forcing these people to go out there and buy Blu Ray or HD DVD movies. they are CHOOSING to support either format, they are choosing to support either game console, and there's nothing right or wrong about any of those choices.
i still think this question is irrelevant, though i understand the sentiment behind it, but it's based in short-sighted and close-minded thinking.
it's like thinking that the reason why any of us bought our 360's and PS3's because of it's LAUNCH titles, what's available NOW, NOW, NOW. of COURSE we didn't. we bought it for Halo 3, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, etc.
we can look ahead and justify our current purchase because of a game or two or three a year off, but we can't hold off our judgement for that same ammount of time to see if Blu Ray, or even HD DVD can prove their own worth?
sounds rather hypocritical to me.
quoted "i think microsoft made the right call by sticking with DVD-9 (maybe they can even do a firmware update to support DVD-20 and it will be a mute point)
ur the biggest fangirl i know..honestly...MS did it rite..so what u can have games like blue dragon on 3 disc HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA oh man sorry that makes me laugh soo much...in gaming its all alot space...the more space the better for dev...they dont need to compress anything...games like gear of war only look that good because of the unreal engine which streams data quick & easy to use...DVD9 is last years technology..and they didnt include blu or hd dvd because they wanted to rush the system b4 PS3 launched..notice how they are trying to fix that problem with elite < another sign of how PS3 is better..u fangirls just need to open ur eyes and do ur research and get the hard true FACTS rather then all gathering on ur xbox fangirl forms & lie to eachother sys xbox is all amazing....MS also stated oh we are a gaming machine then comes out with a pointless HDDVD add on..yaaa MS...rite lol y dont u guys go pay for ur online service which will mostly be OWNED by home
we do need blu ray - its teh future rite now...if u own a HDTV then 2 experience true hidef then yes u need it..with reg dvd there are upscaling but ahh its not true hidef...
so simple answer to simple question
Yes we need bluray now
I'm not going to argue that more space is always a plus, but I will say as I've said before that Blu-ray is NOT needed for games anytime soon. I say let the evidence speak for itself and until we see "huge" 30 level, surpassing Gears type graphic quality, with amazingly new "audio" on Blu-ray, that can't be done on 1, 2 DVD9's....everything else is just ALL talk, hmmm...where have I heard all these claims before? oh thats right for a whole yr prior to PS3 launch, Sony and Sony dev's promised alot, and I'm not bashing them, every company including M$ hypes their products but you have to admit, Sony has a special talent for it. Well seeing is believing, and when and if I see the results....I promise I will be the first one to apologize for doubting Blu-ray and all its glory....but as for now M$'s compression techniques have produce results that definitely are showing now and looks as if it will be good for years in the future...and they are always getting better.
Procedural synthesis is has a great deal of potential to effect the Xbox 360's filesizes. In short, procedural synthesis is a way of producing graphics that Microsoft has pushed heavily with the introduction of the Xbox 360, including specific hardware functions designed to do handle procedural synthesis. It uses algorithms to produce high quality graphics out of extremely small files. Well I'm trying to keep this short(I failed) but also there are alot of misconceptions about how much the size of games actually grow because of the HD format.
[Edit]vvvv Well I'll just post the link and you can check it out.
Nowhere does it say that this will only benefit the 360, PS3 will most likely get this and with better results I believe. But this is also just speculation just like the unproven technique you submitted, nice...
If you want a truly next gen. experience then freak yeah!
ahh ya FeralPhoenix
whoa its amazing how people are educated and then run their mouth

u talk about gears of wars quality lol HELLO! did u read my post - there using unreal engine 3 (which can be used by Ps3 no problem)...all these PS3 games that are out are using 20% of the bludisc and havent even tapped into the cell's power...now u fan girls for xbox are gonna say well some theres a multi game on both xbox version looks better..NO REALLY! of course they do because the dev build it 4 the xbox360 then PORT it the PS3 - the games that are gonna make u go sell ur xbox are games that are built from ground up heavenly sword/lair/killzone/ratchet&am p;clank/GT5/FF13/MGS etc etc..these are games built for the PS3 only so they dont have to worry about porting...and the funny thing is that it took MS a full year and abit to finally make a game that has nice graphics - PS3 will be blowing that away less then a year and trust me when i say itll only get better
that ONLY SONY GAMES require more space!!motorstorm resistance crap of man,lair, all of sony studio games make this claim.why can oblivion, an every other game fit on to a dvd 9 but not sony games. everybody knows that Kojima is a Ps fan, the Ps is what got him where he is today, so of course he gonna take sonys side an say he NEEDS 50 gb!! but do you really think that MGS4 will use almost 50 gb. you would never finish that game. so the way I see it,blu ray is needed depending on who you work for!!
knob of the day gnothe1
clear ur dumb..
more space doesnt only mean u can make a game longer like add 45 levels - it means that u can add more data to animations on enviroments/charectars etc...
and y would u want a game that would take 4ever to clear? oh sorry ur use to xbox360 games like gears of war where in 9hrs game is finish thanx for the 59.99 u just spent hahahahaha
and oblivion fit on a dvd9 and was ported to the PS3 and do ur search on IGN or the net and ull find that the PS3 vision is the winning in graphics load times etc..\\
so shut up if u dont know...when u have facts u come and post and ill be more tehn happy to talk 2 u...till then go back to the xboxfan girls forms and touch eachother & tell eachother xbox360 is the best
I never insulted you, I'm just pointing out contradictory info, we don't have to agree....but why does it bother you so much that there might be other alternatives to Blu-ray that will produce next gen games just as good. Also I don't understand your point when you say that saying if they need to put a game on 1 or 2 disc's then that means they needed more space....yes you are right, but my point is whats the real difference in the end result to the user, which is what is the difference between two otherwise equally great next gen games if one is on 1 Blu-ray disc and the other is on 2 DVD9's....does the 2 disc DVD9 game of the same quality automatically become NOT next gen?, -NO the end user is still going to enjoy the game just as much as the Blu-ray user.
BTW, compression is alot better than Blu-ray supporters would have you believe and its getting better, who's to say that M$ techniques won't allow HD games twice as big as Oblivion on 1 disc in a few years....if anybody can make the tools to improve compression, I would think M$ has the money to do so. Check out this link?....and tell me what you think.
figboy comes up with an awsome comment and ilbleedblu follows up with a rebuttle to feral phoenix.leaving me with not much to say........................... .........well,i'll try anyway.
we already see bluray creating amazing hd content in movies.hi-def looks great for films.
we already see sound has improved and more of it can be put on a disc.while dvd-9 gamers will hear mostly the same sound samples.bluray gamers could potentially hear unrepeated sound for the duration of the games.sports games could really benefit from this.
how can gamers not assume that games will not benefit from more storage.most 360 fans point to oblivion.i won't use crysis for pc because we all know that installing the game takes up way more space than what was on the disc.and second,you need a powerful card to run it.oblivion is a good looking game.but the textures are repeated throughout the game.not a bad thing.but what if all games did that?say for example: god of war.having the same textures through all the levels.that would make the game great to play,but not so great to look at the same things over and over.
now take that sameness over 6-10 years.would gamers want to see the same repeating of graphics over and over.not this gamer.what if an artist had to repeat the same picture over and over for 6-10 years?that artist would shoot themselves.
the reason we are still talking about this is because 360 gamers don't have the luxury.they want to downplay because microsoft is not a forward thinking hardware designer.microsoft is no different than nintendo.nintendo played it safe with a system that barely beats the gamecube.the controller is the only difference nintendo made.360 gamers downplay because ps3 threatens their purchase decision.following microsoft's lead.
microsoft downplayed:
larger hard drive space
and now they are eating their words.backtracking on every thing they have said.but the monkeys continue to hold up their bananas in tribute to the head monkey: bill gates.
bluray and cell are the only things left that microsoft can't duplicate.and when ps3 starts to fire on all cylinders,watch out fanboys.360 gamers will be lining up to get ps3.leaving those 5 different 360s on the market.cores,premiums,used cores,used premiums,elites.then eventually used elites(6).
talk about a glut of systems.no ones going to buy the used ones because they keep breaking.
if those fools (HD-DVD FORUM) could be kind enough to pass along the savings in NOT HAVING TO UPGRADE THEIR PRODUCTION FACILITIES TO SUPPORT bLU-rAy I'sd say "no fuk Blu-Ray"... but since HD-DVDs cost ABOUT the same as BRD titles, I say let them fight it out. Wasn't one of the big advantages of HD-DVD supposed to be that HD-DVD disks could be manufactured on current DVD fab equipment?.... Whereas Blu-Ray required the purchase of new fab tools?!.... Somewhere the savings could be passed along to the connsumer if they REALLY wanted HD-DVD to trounce Blu-Ray.
Untill we get thrown a fuking bone I say let them fight it out. Money talks.
In other words, I see no reason HD-DVD titles should cost much more than current DVD prices. Oh, yeah I forgot... all that extra content (that they filmed anyways) is worth it. Listen, if it ain't new maps, gamertag pic, or an exclusive weapon or something (for games) or like 3 or 4 new hours of movie content, then they can suck it. Blu-Ray camp can at least justify the higher price, (read fab costs)...
That being said I own a 360 and will never own a PS3 unless they drop the price 200bux USD or have PHENOMENAL exclusives.
being able to watch a DVD on one side and HD-DVD on the other is worth the price? I mean you are future proof....when you are ready and have purchased a HD player you can watch it. i guess it deoends on the price...
I have NO PROB with flipping a disk, as I'm not a fat fuking retard. But I'd LOVE to be able to purchase a disk containing no "extra content" at "no/minimal additional price". Give me a regular edition DVD at 720p with uncompressed audio and video. Give me that for like 5bux more than the regular edition DVD and I'm in.
if dvd-9 is cheaper to make then you would think that dvd-9 games would cost less.like $49-$54.but that's not the case.
bluray games even with more content cost the same as dvd-9 games.wow!
so instead of having the savings past on to you for 360,you get gouged by microsoft again.oblivion,i love using this game.ps3 gamers get the game and the expansion for $59.360 gamers got the game for $59 and had to pay more for the expansion.wow!
i wonder why they couldn't have included that expansion on the disc?maybe because.....there wasn't enough room?
ps3 gamers will get more in the time alotted.360 gamers will have to download the rest.wow!bluray was a great decision.wow!just wow!
i'm in a joking mood.

Because where better to strike up a conversation with someone than on a bench? We need to learn to put down the phones and have more conversations
Chattanooga, TN (PRWEB) April 28, 2016
The "Get to know m.e.- The Metro-East. I live here. I love it." campaign is an initiative that began in June of last year to bring the Metro-East community together. The Metro-East includes the eastern suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri. This area has grown substantially due to greater job opportunities, so the mission of the campaign is to provide a platform for this ever growing community to get to know their neighbors.
The campaign staple is a uniquely designed, bright blue, steel bench that is imprinted with the campaign slogan, "Get to know m.e.- The Metro-East. I live here. I love it.", these benches were manufactured by, UltraSite a PlayCore company, which is actually located within the Metro-East in Red Bud, IL. This was a great partnership, not only did it cut out shipping expenses, but it further demonstrated the theme of getting to know your neighbors.
"Because where better to strike up a conversation with someone than on a bench? We need to learn to put down the phones and have more conversations" – Carol Bartle, Get to know m.e., Project Manager
This campaign was a huge success in 2015 raising $16,000 dollars in scholarships given to local students and donating a total of 40 benches throughout the community. The team is kicking this year off strong with 10 benches in the works and hopes of gaining more bench sponsorships as the year progresses. The campaign also has very high expectations in beating their scholarship funds given last year!
The Get to know m. e. campaign just announced they will be hosting a contest at the Art on the Square Festival in May where they will be giving away one of these benches. The bench will then be donated in the winner's name to the location of their choice. Make sure to visit the campaign booth at the art festival for your chance to win!

I consider myself very fortunate to be approaching midway into my sixth decade on this planet with all my vitals in remarkably good condition. My doctor recently said I have the blood pressure of a teenager, my mother lauds me for having the body of a twenty-something, and my wife has latched on to my rigorous gym regimen and is looking absolutely marvelous.
Many aspects of my life contribute to this well-being: a loving marriage with a beautiful woman and mother of our son who's brimming with health, intelligence, a heart of gold and promising future; diet, healthy lifestyle, positive mindset…yea, I could check off a lot of the factors typically associated with promoting longevity. Of course, I wouldn't want to leave out a robust sex life with nearly 40 years of edging orgasms and semen retention.
I am a rogue sex gourmand vilified in some circles for violating natural sexual etiquette and questioning the status quo's vehement stance on the benefits of consummating all our sex acts with full body orgasms-ejaculation. I am also praised by some who have undergone profound changes in their physical, mental, and spiritual health as a result of incorporating edging and sexual continence in their lives.
I wrote the book, The Rejuvenating Power of Masturbation, in 2011 to highlight parallels between Eastern mysticism and modern medicine concerning our innate sexual generative potentials. However, while ancient Taoist and Hindu sexual doctrines purport that sex can be a pathway to longevity, even immortality, today's doctors and researchers have been reticent to support this claim. Nevertheless, I think I may have uncovered something that may cause more than our eyebrows to raise…
There's a new kid in town proclaiming to have the key to our longevity, maybe even our immortality. She's racked up a lot of support from the medical, scientific, and Big Pharma communities and soon may appear at your local CVS. She is being heralded as a CEO of all life enterprises on Earth and entrusted with guaranteeing our survival. She joyfully inhabits the sex glands where she meticulously cares for sperm and egg, but, irk her with poor lifestyle antics, and she might conjure a most horrid demise. Sounds like a demigoddess. Her name you ask? Telomerase, also known as the dominatrix celeb servicing telomeres(oh how she loves to tie them up, whip them into shape, and…).
Telomeres are tips on the ends of chromosomes like the plastic tips on shoelaces that keep the ends from fraying and sticking to each other. The problem is that each time a cell divides the telomere tips get shorter. When they get too short, the cell can no longer divide; it becomes inactive- "senescent" or it dies. This shortening process is associated with aging, cancer, and a higher risk of death. Enter our genetic dominatrix- Telomerase.
Telomerase (an enzyme) adeptly assesses damage, repairs, and maintains the tattered ends of telomeres, and by doing so, she oversees our survival and wields the power to confer immortality to cells. Telomerase is most expressed and active in fetal tissue, sperm and egg cells, and tumors. In most of the rest of our body cells, Telomerase doesn't do much, so over time the telomeres grow shorter, cells age and eventually die.
I've been looking over natural ways to activate Telomerase including dosing up vitamin A, B, D, and K intake, more probiotics, anti-oxidants, and omega-3's. Big Pharma is looking to cash in on Astralagus, an ancient Chinese herb. Intermittent fasting and high-intensity exercise also seem to suit Telomerase's appetite. What about sex? Now things get interesting.
Sex glands are the center of operations for Telomerase and they also fabricate vital hormones for our overall health. Telomerase seems to have a sweet tooth for sex hormones which activate her even in other parts of the body such as bone marrow and certain immune system agents. This seems to indicate further evidence that sex can have generative potentials contributing to our longevity. By stimulating sex hormone production through solo and paired sex, might we be coaxing Telomerase to canvass more areas of our body with her miraculous powers?
I can almost hear ancient Taoist and Hindu sexologists happily chanting, 'Use it and you will never wear out!'
Congratulations and best wishes for your continued good health! An 80 year old friend once told me "Growing old is not for wimps, but beats the alternative - dying young"
Most of us seem to be chasing quality of life rather than simple longevity. I'd certainly like to live well, in good physical and mental health for as long as possible and then to die quickly and simply.
And we certainly seem to be pushing "old age" further and further back at least at the wealthier end of the spectrum. Obviously all bets are off for people without adequate healthcare and nutrition.
Whilst there are fads and fashions in health as much as anything else in life, the recurring theme seems always to be moderation. Eat well, but not to excess. Exercise weekly but don't stress your joints too much. Enjoy sex but try to avoid risky behaviour.
In terms of "activating" telemorase in your body it's important to make sure that people stay within recommended guidelines for the substances you mention. An excess of vitamin A can damage bone density, excess vitamin B can result in nerve damage, too much vitamin D can cause problems in calcium uptake etc
For most people a reasonable balanced diet will provide all of the nutrients their bodies will ever need. Add in a little bit of exercise and a lot of enjoyable sex with someone we care for and life is bound to feel good.
You beautifully describe the many elements involved in focusing on the body's sensations to fully experience mindful self-loving. This deliberate, slow approach to self-pleasuring unfolds into an attitude of blissful gratitude. I can see how communion with nature and the spiritual energy of the universe happens with grateful self-loving. I will reread this article over and over again and take a deep breath and thank your for sharing your experience with us. Combining self-love with gratitude extinguishes fear, expands our capacity to love others exponentially, and gives us reason for hope for all of mankind.

Comic book fans rejoiced when Joss Whedon revealed he was in talks to write and direct a standalone "Batgirl" film. Few details were given about the project, but that hasn't stopped fans from speculating wildly about the Gotham heroine's first-ever solo feature. And which iteration of the heroine will he use? Police Commissioner's daughter Barbara Gordon is the original and most obvious choice. But the social misfit Cassandra Cain or morally dubious Helena Mertinelli might also appeal to the geek auteur. Regardless of which identity is chosen, its time to start dream casting the role! Take a look at the five actresses below, and cast your vote for who should don Batgirl's cowl in our poll.
Sign up to get Gold Derby's free newsletter
with experts' latest predictions and breaking news
Summer Glau – Summer Glau worked with Whedon on the short lived "Firefly" and its film sequel "Serenity," as well as "Dollhouse." As an actress, she can project a sense of wonderment and naivete, but also has a powerful presence on camera. Cassandra Cain's version of Batgirl grew up as a mute, deprived of human contact, with martial arts as her only outlet. That's plenty similar to Glau's character River Tam on "Firefly." Glau's mastery of Whedon's signature wordplay also gives her the sense of wit required to portray Barbara Gordon's Batgirl.
Amy Acker – Another Whedon-verse favorite from "Angel" and "Dollhouse." Acker might be the best choice to portray a seasoned Barbara Gordon, years into her career. She would also nail the tragic transition of Batgirl to wheelchair bound Oracle, after the Joker paralyses Gordon via gunshot. Anyone who witnessed her portrayal of the bookish Winifred on "Angel," whose body was taken over by the super-powered God Illyria, can vouch for this actress's versatility. It's easy to see Acker both kicking ass as Batgirl, and aiding Batman and The Birds of Prey from her clock tower as tech-savvy Oracle.
GuGu Mbatha-Raw – GuGu Mbatha-Raw became a critical sensation after heartbreaking performances in "Belle" and "Beyond the Lights," and had her first box office smash with "Beauty and the Beast." As one of the most promising newcomers in the last few years, this actress deserves a major money-making franchise. The mixture of vulnerability and strength she imbues most of her characters with is a perfect match for Barbara Gordon. Her complexity as an actress also makes her a great candidate to play a morally ambiguous Batgirl in the vein of Helena Bertinelli, who frequently finds herself at odds with Batman.
Dish Joss Whedon with Hollywood insiders in our notorious forums
Jane Levy – For the classic Batgirl origin story with Barbara Gordon, look no further than Jane Levy. She even has the iconic red hair. Levy has had a varied career, spanning horror ("Don't Breathe", "Evil Dead"), comedy ("Suburgatory", "Shameless") and a role on David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" relaunch. Levy has the acting chops, and even looks startlingly similar to the New 52 comics version of Barbara Gordon. It's not hard to see her spouting Whedon's one-liners while cracking bat guys with a right hook.
Shailene Woodley – After critically acclaimed performances in films like "The Descendants" and "Fault in Our Stars," Shailene Woodley tried her hand at a popcorn franchise with the "Divergent" series. While that series drew diminishing returns at the box office, Woodley has returned to form with a juicy role in HBO's hit "Big Little Lies." Woodley has repeatedly shown she can hold her own against veteran actors like George Clooney and Reese Witherspoon, and her natural performance style would be a fantastic way to ground a superhero film.

Wine Regions
The internationally-renowned Coonawarra wine region is just a 90-minute drive away and offers some of Australia's most exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons thanks to its unique climate and ancient terra rossa soil. For a more boutique, yet equally outstanding wine experience, the cooler climate wineries of Mt Benson are virtually on the doorstep to Kingston, about 20 minutes south just off the Southern Ports Highway.
Historic Towns
Brimming with history, the Limestone Coast's regional towns each have their own character and appeal. Step back in time as you wander through Robe's 19th century streets, lined with quaint limestone cottages and heritage listed buildings – many of which are now home to galleries, cafes, museums and specialty stores.
Quiet, tranquil Beachport attracts land-based anglers thanks to its impressive jetty stretching 772 meters out into the plentiful waters of Rivoli Bay. Nearby Pool of Shalom is a local curiosity and favourite swimming and floating spot, thanks to a salinity level around seven times greater than the sea. Millicent's timber industry
It's hard to beat Kingston's beaches, but for something different, a host of secluded bays, hidden lakes, whale-watching sites and coastal reserves deserted but for the myriad of waterbirds and local wildlife, are all waiting to be explored and are an easy drive from your base at Kingston Foreshore Caravan Park.

* A floodlight is built so that the light spreads overa wide area.
* With a spotlight you will see things further away infront of you however it will leave everything beside you in the dark with afloodlight the reverse is the case.
* Because the light is more concentrated, a spotlight willappear brighter than a floodlight but only within its narrower beam. Aspotlight is more suited to illuminating objects and a floodlight is moresuited to illuminating areas.

I honestly did wake up today expecting to hear SOMETHING from Growing Generations. I just had a feeling I would. Honestly.
But I did not expect to hear THIS:
"You should receive an IP profile between now and 2 weeks after you have screened. J I think we might have a potential match, J But they should have finished it (their profile) by now. I will ask."
I am a bit worried that they think they have a match before my screening where I tell them what matters to me and what I am interested in finding in my IPS. BUT- I have been pretty transparent and up front with what we're after. So who knows, maybe they're just that good. Either way, I am excited.

The R-115SW is a 75-pound, 15-inch, 400-watt (800 peak) vented subwoofer that offers a frequency response from 18 to 125 Hz +/-3 dB. It's a sizeable sub, measuring 19.5″ (W) by 21.5″ (H) and 22.3″ deep. Klipsch offers it in one finish, a brushed black-polymer veneer.
Each sub includes a detachable cloth grill, which removes to reveal the 15″ Cerametallic aluminum cone with its signature copper-colored finish. The design employs a slot-shaped, forward-venting tuned port.
The sub's rear panel sports a rather minimalist set of inputs and controls. There is no speaker-level input, and the R-115SW does not offer audio pass-through with its stereo RCA line-level inputs. One knob adjusts the crossover point, and a second adjusts gain. There is a LFE setting that disables the crossover. It's clear this sub is for use with a modern AVR offering built-in bass management.
On the back, you'll also find one toggle switch for phase and another for power. A DIP switch lets you chose between 120V and 240V. Last but not least, the sub includes a WA port that works with the Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit to provide a wireless connection
The R-115SW is a big sub that belts out prodigious quantities of bass. I'm confident many people would find the output of a single R-115SW more than adequate for music and movie watching. The sub is especially generous when it comes to doling out bass in the 20-30 Hz region. Whether it's rattling the rafters reproducing the upright bass on Dawn of Midi's Dysnomia or disturbing the neighbors by telegraphing the infrasonic percussive soundscapes of Meat Beat Manifesto's Answers Come in Dreams, the R-115SW delivers a bone-rattling performance in terms of sheer output.
I ran sine-wave sweeps and was able to energize the entire room with one sub. I achieved room lock (that physical sensation you get from the bass) from 18 Hz on up, and with plenty of headroom to spare. However, pipe-organ fans should take note that the ported design means that the response drops off a cliff below 18 Hz.
Sine waves at 20 Hz coming from dual R-115SWs measured 110 dB at my main listening position—enough to make my vision blurry and trigger nausea. Seriously, that's more bass than I need. However, when I tried to reproduce 16 Hz, the port started chuffing, and there was very little energy. Klipsch's 18 Hz low-frequency rating appears to be 100% accurate.
I wasn't able to sense the micro-dynamic nuance I've heard from some other subs, such as the GoldenEar ForceField 5 or the JL Audio e112 (review coming soon), but that's unsurprising, since both those subs have more powerful amplifiers attached to smaller drivers—and cost more. I don't have measurements, but I'd guess damping factor—the amp's ability to maintain control of the cone's movement—comes into play. Nevertheless, neither of those subs offer as much output per dollar as the Klipsch R-115SW.

A decade ago Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki shut down his country's independent press, and arrested 21 journalists and politicians. He's detained many more of his citizens without trial since then. With no free media left to report on their fate, news of the prisoners has been hard to come by, but the ten-year anniversary of their disappearance has brought renewed calls by international NGOs for their release. By THERESA MALLINSON.
Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki may have been in power for a mere 18 years, but he could teach some of the longer-standing leaders around the continent a thing or two about running a dictatorship. Today, Eritrea is the only country in Africa not to have any free media: all the outlets belong to the government. And that's no exaggeration, as the Committee to Protect Journalists elaborates: "No independent press is now functioning in Eritrea. There are three newspapers, three radio stations, and two television stations in the country. All of them are owned, operated, and controlled by the government, functioning under the tight umbrella of the Ministry of Information".
Watch: Isaias Afewerki's address to the UN general assembly:
Back in the 18th century Thomas Jefferson said: "If I had to choose between government without newspapers, and newspapers without government, I wouldn't hesitate to choose the latter". But Afewerki has clearly chosen the former route for Eritrea.
It wasn't always this way. In 1997, Aaron Berhane and Dawit Isaak founded the country's first independent newspaper, Setit. Berhane told the CPJ last year: "At that time, the Eritrean government supported the private press by all means. We never criticised the government during that war (the Ethiopian-Eritrean border war of 1998 to 2000) because the Eritrean press law did not allow us to speak on internal affairs during wartime," Berhane said. "The government was happy with that because we were focused on countering the Ethiopian propaganda and mobilise people to defend the country." But these friendly relations changed with the end of the war. "Once the border conflict was over, we said we now have to look at what's going on in the country and when we started asking tough questions, then the government became very upset," Berhane explained.
By 2001 the country boasted eight independent newspapers. But when Setit, along with several other newspapers, published an open letter to the government, authored by 15 progressive Cabinet members calling for democratic reforms, a crackdown followed. In the weeks after the 9/11 attacks, Afewerki shut down the private media, and ten journalists and 11 of the government officials who'd signed the letter were arrested. One can't even tack on the standard phrase "on trumped-up charges" in this case, as no charges were laid, trumped-up or not.
No-one outside Eritrea has seen or heard from the imprisoned politicians and journalists since, with the only news of them coming from security guards who've defected from the regime. According to reports from these former prison guards, up to ten of the 21 people arrested may have subsequently died.
Last week Human Rights Watch issued a briefing calling on the government to "release the detainees or reveal their fate". Daniel Bekele, the Africa director at HRW said: "Eritrea is effectively a giant prison, and international pressure should continue on Eritrea until President Isaias frees political prisoners and restores the rule of law. To start with, President Isaias should end the inhumanity of prolonged secret, silent detention and allow family members and international monitors to see the prisoners."
The report came out the same week that Afewerki appeared before the UN General Assembly to speechify. "We also believe that all nations, whatever their size, can and should play an increasingly bigger and effective role in the endeavour to build a fair, just, equitable and sustainable world," he stated. Afewerki should perhaps take a look at how he runs his own country first – including those arrested in 2001, there are currently more than 30 journalists imprisoned in Eritrea who have not even been on trial. Hardly fair, just, equitable or sustainable is it?
And it's not only journalists suffering. As the HRW report states: "Hundreds of thousands of others in the country of five million have been victimised during the past decade. The briefing paper recounts that thousands of Eritreans are incarcerated because they are suspected of not fully supporting the regime or have attempted to flee Eritrea's compulsory and indefinite national service."
Writing for CPJ, Berhane (who, unlike many of his colleagues, managed to evade capture and now runs an Eritrean newspaper in Canada), implored: "My dream – one shared by thousands of journalists and political activists all over the world – is this: Free the imprisoned journalists. Reunite them with their families so they are able to hug their wives and lovely children. Let's take action to encourage the UN to follow the leadership of the EU and other advocacy organisations in calling for the release of the prisoners. Let's take action to support the journalists and their families. Let's lift the shroud of misery and make this year the last anniversary of despair and the first anniversary of joy."
But Afewerki has been deaf to such pleas before. In 2009, when questioned specifically about the imprisonment of Isaak, who holds dual Eritrean-Swedish nationality, he stated: "We will not have any trial and we will not free him. We know how to handle his kind". There's a reason that Eritrea has been dubbed "Africa's North Korea" and, sadly, it looks like Eritrea isn't going to give up its place at the bottom of the Reporters Without Borders international press freedom index any time soon.

Maintaining a healthy mouth is just as important for our pets as it is for us. Unfortunately, most pets do not brush their own teeth! A proper at-home dental hygiene plan along with timely dental cleanings is essential to keeping your pet's teeth, gums and breath as clean as they can be.
At Kildaire Animal Medical Center we have the capability to perform dental cleanings and advanced dental procedures using the latest dental and anesthetic technology. Because anesthesia is an area of concern for most pet owners, we examine your pet and its medical history to develop a specific anesthetic protocol. We use state-of-the-art equipment to monitor your pet under anesthesia, including its heart rate, breathing rate, ECG, oxygen saturation of the blood, carbon dioxide levels, blood pressure and temperature. We also have a warm air-filled blanket and warm intravenous fluid line to maintain body temperature and keep your pet comfortable.
We use a human-grade, ultrasonic, piezo-electric dental scaler to clean teeth thoroughly and efficiently. The various ultrasonic tools allow for removal of large amounts of tartar as well as more delicate cleaning below the gum margin.
We utilize cutting-edge digital dental radiography to better visualize both the crown and the root(s) of the tooth. This allows us to better assess overall oral health and more accurately identify diseased teeth.
We try and keep as many teeth in your pet's mouth as possible. However, we do occasionally find teeth that are beyond repair. Our doctors possess the skills necessary to perform surgical extractions that result in less trauma and faster healing. We then close the tooth socket with absorbable sutures. We also use local anesthetic blocks to reduce pain and allow us to keep our general anesthesia level as low as possible during extractions.
Working together, we can insure that your pet has the cleanest, healthiest mouth possible.

Kendall Jenner & Gigi Hadid Are BFF Goals In Stunning New FENDI Campaign — Pics
Supermodel BFFs, Kendall Jenner & Gigi Hadid star in the new Fall 2017 FENDI campaign & it's gorgeous. Both girls look stunning in the new collection & you have to see all of the pics, here!
Kendall Jenner, 21, and Gigi Hadid, 22, have both starred in FENDI campaigns on their own in the past, and have also strutted down FENDI runways together, but now these two BFFs have joined together to star in the new Fall/Winter 2017-18 campaign, F en Folie, and the photos are incredible. Not only do both girls look stunning in the photos, the new collection is amazing! What do you guys think of their new campaign — do you love it as much as we do?
Both girls look stunning in the Old-Hollywood campaign which was shot by creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, himself. Karl described the new collection, "For the FENDI Fall/Winter 2017-18 advertising campaign, I took inspiration from the new logo of the Maison, that for me is like an 'F en Folie,' because of its crazy and unexpected upside-down position. I chose to play with exaggerated-scale versions of this logo and with the main colours of the collection, a mix of certain blues, camel and obviously red."
Kendall and Gigi are seriously BFF goals and the supermodels look gorgeous in matching red maxi dresses. Aside from posing together, they both looked flawless in a slew of other outfits from revealing cutout lace dresses to more covered up looks like Gigi's long peacoats and Kendall's long flowy dresses. We love seeing these BFFs back together again, especially since Kendall and Gigi's younger sis, Bella, 20, have been spending a lot of time together.
What do you guys think of Kendall and Gigi's new FENDI campaign — do you love it as much as we do?

The shadow chancellor Ed Balls paid a visit to Bedford to meet business leaders and students.
The Labour MP was joined by Bedford and Kempston candidate Patrick Hall at the University of Bedfordshire, where Mr Balls addressed more than 100 business people, students and staff from the university, Bedford College and local schools, before taking part in a Q&A session.
The visit included an interview with journalism student Jack Beeston for the university's community radio station, Radio Lab, who quizzed Mr Balls on how, if elected, Labour will deal with course fees.
He also asked Mr Balls what his views are on unpaid work experience, apprenticeships and the cost of living while a student.
Mr Hall said: "I am delighted that so many people came to the university's superb new Gateway Building to listen to, and question, Ed Balls.
"The feeling was positive with lots of challenging questions and full answers."
Last week's visit also included a stop at Atlas Converting Equipment Ltd, Bedford, where Mr Balls met the firm's managers and made an announcement about Labour's plans to reform the banking sector.
These include measures to control bonuses, address competition in the industry and create a British Investment Band to fund small and medium-sized businesses.
Mr Balls said: "Too often in recent years our banks have fallen far short of the standards expected of them. After so many scandals we need major reforms and long-term cultural change to restore trust and ensure our banks start working for consumers and businesses again.
"Banks are essential to our economy, but we need them to work better for the businesses and working people who rely on them. That's why we visited Atlas Converting. It is exactly the kind of business that would benefit from Labour's plans to increase competition in the business banking sector."

But many of them don't know much about it, and have no idea about how to delete it from infected computers. So, we publish this passage to tell you more information about Driver Maximizer, and give tutorials on Driver Maximizer removal.
What should you know about Driver Maximizer
Driver Maximizer is regarded as rogue software that gets into your computer via intrusive methods without your permission.

Poke Hack: Tracka2
A macrocosmic view of your bowel movements.
Published on Jan 26, 2010
Editor's Pick
At the end of 2009, Poke London held its first version of a hack day, Poke Hack. To encourage a bit of high speed R&D last December, the agency closed its doors for a day and divided its troops into six different teams. Each was give a budget of �100 and 24 hours to come up with an innovative online effort centered on the theme of "food."
This particular effort, tracka2, aims to give eaters a macrocosmic view of their bowel movements. The proposed high fiber cereal bar is outfitted with a tiny GPS device that helps you track how quickly food travels through your own system, and ultimately that of London's sewers.
A group of guest judges decided on the best team, which conceived The Holy Sandwich, a never-ending stack of user generated 'wiches. In March, the agency will give a second prize to the team that generates the most unique views.
To give all the ideas a fair shot, check out the rest of the hacks on the Poke blog. .
