Like other Epson projectors I've reviewed recently, the 750HD performs differently in the Dynamic and Cinema modes. If you've already read my review, you'll know it also has some quirks to go along with its ridiculously intense light output.
It's worth noting, we like things that are ridiculous.
Let's cut right to it: this projector is staggeringly, amazingly, blindingly bright. It's brighter than any projector I can remember measuring. It's brighter than any plasma. It's brighter than most LCD TVs I've reviewed. Uncalibrated, on a 102-inch, 1.0-gain screen, I got 87 footlamberts. That means, with a slightly smaller screen, or a screen with even a little gain, you could have an over 100-footlambert image from a projector.
Oh, and it's $800...
Let's go over some of the numbers here: 1080p, 3D, $1,000. Pretty solid specs and pricing for flat-panel TV, except ... this is no flat-panel. BenQ's W1070 is, as you have probably deduced, a projector. I've reviewed a few projectors in this price range as exclusives for soundandvisionmag.com, and all came up rather lacking.
I occasionally peruse Internet A/V forums to see what the techier web denizens have to say about the latest news and reviews.
One thing I've noticed a lot of lately, especially after our big projector 3fer, is a fixation on black level, with no mention or thought about contrast ratio.
This is a big deal, as black level without contrast ratio can result in some pretty terrible picture quality.
I am a vocal and unrepentant projector fanatic. I think projectors represent the best value in home entertainment, and wish more people would embrace the awesome as I have (for over 10 years now).
However, projectors aren't without drawbacks, and the UHP lamps in nearly all of them are a big one. Hot, expensive, and not particularly long lasting, UHP lamp replacement is often cited as one of the biggest annoyances of projector ownership. The alternative, LED lighting, has mostly just been found in uber-high-end projectors, and inexpensive wee little projectors.
But not anymore.
Need a good reason to buy a projector? How about this: Of all the video-display types, projectors provide the biggest image for your buck. Rear-projection TVs, which were once available in screen sizes up to 92 inches, used to be an even more affordable big-screen option, but the last manufacturer with a stake in rear-projector manufacturing, Mitsubishi, recently closed up on that biz.
Winter is my favorite season, when all the past year's new flat-panel TVs have been reviewed and I can switch my attention to projectors. This season was particularly bountiful, as I was able to score three of the best projectors on the market for review. Sony's VPL-HW50ES, plus an Epson and a JVC, all arrived on my doorstep within a few days of one another. Not too shabby, that. Time for a roundup.
In one of the weird niche products LG showed at CES, the HECTO is a laser-based projector with a fixed throw distance. That distance? 22-inches from the lens.
As you can see in the photo, the HECTO is designed to nestle up nearly to the wall, and project a distortion-free 100-inch, 16x9 image.
A few more details after the jump.
Can I like the idea of a thing, better than the thing? This is the question I'm pondering as I write up this admittedly cool LED/laser hybrid projector from ViewSonic. Instead of UHP lamps or even "regular" LEDs, the Pro9000 adds a laser to the mix, because ... well because it's cool, right?
While it gets an "A" on the technology front, its performance grade is notably lower.
This is a fascinating hybrid of a product: a portable projector with built-in, Roku-powered, media streaming.
There are web streamers, and there are projectors, but this is the first time I've seen them combined into one, easy-to-use product.
Fascinating is one thing. Worthwhile? That's a different question. . .
Runco unveiled several new projectors at CEDIA, all of them sporting some big brightness figures.
How big? Well in one case they're claiming 94 foot-Lamberts. That's LED LCD territory.
Get your wallet home equity line of credit ready.
With their usual Italian flair, Sim2 showed off their latest projectors.
The two big announcements: A dual-lamp, high-brightness projector for "media rooms" and a 4K DLP projector (sort of).
All the info after the jump.

How many ponies can we haz? I usually have two I like to play as.
Ok so this is mainly for the CS. First off we need two people to be on the train and three people already in town. I only really want 6 people in the whole RP. I will be one of the ponies on the train. Sorry haha But anyways if you have any ideas or questions or concerns pm me!
Here is the CS
Pegasus or Earth Pony or Unicorn:
(Everyone will be around the same age so that doesn't really matter.)
Appearance: (I would prefer a picture but it is alright if you don't want to)
Cutie Mark: (If it is not in the picture((if you post a picture lol))) Tell us why and it's purpose.
Reason for coming to/or already living in Ponyville:
-That's it. I know it seems short but I don't really know what else to put haha If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas pm me!
Here is my CS
Name: Rain Twister
Gender: Male
Appearance: The appearance is my profile picture. (I know it seems small but that is just the image size. Image he is the same size as says the other ponies. Like Twilight Sparkle or Pinkie Pie
Cutie Mark: A tornado made of clouds. He got his cutie mark when he was younger. He got it because when he was testing out his wings he flew into a storm and rested on one of the rain clouds. His wings pushed some of the rain into a cycle and formed a small tornado. Luckily the storm was far away from where he lived so no damage was caused. From then on he was sent into the sky every time a storm came around.
Reason for coming to Ponyville: He heard about the growing town called Ponyville and he realized that he was old enough to live by himself. He decided that since he helps calm storms then maybe Ponyville will need help with storms as well. He had heard that a pony named Rainbow Dash controlled the weather in that town but he hoped she would let him help. Also he had been wanting to make some new friends and have a change of scenery. While he was born in Canterlot he never really liked it there. He hoped the train would help him change his life.
That is my CS!
I hope to see all the other CSs in a bit remember. I need two on the train and three in the town. If there is a problem with that..we can resolve it somehow lol
How many ponies can we haz? I usually have two I like to play as.
Name: Redstorm
Gender: female
Pegasus or Earth Pony or Unicorn: Pegasus
Appearance: Attachment
Cutie Mark: a red dragon in a circle. Got it after doing lots of stunts while flying in a circle around a storm cloud. The last trick ended with lightning hitting a tree.
Reason for coming to/or already living in Ponyville: was born here to her parents who left a while ago...
Name: Peanut Hooves
Gender: Stallion
Pegasus or Earth Pony or Unicorn: Earth
Appearance: Green fun with a brown mane and a velvet red sweater.
Cutie Mark: A video camera because he is a professional film maker.
Reason for coming to/or already living in Ponyville: To get away from life in Manehatten

- The Weinstein Company is near a deal to acquire U.S. rights to an untitled period drama that James Gray wrote and directed, with Joaquin Phoenix, Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Renner starring, Deadline reported.
Gray has completed the film, and The Weinstein Company will release it next year. The project was one of the juicier packages shopped at the recent Cannes Film Festival by CAA and Wild Bunch. Greg Shapiro, Anthony Katagas, Gray and Worldview CEO Christopher Woodrow are producers. CAA and Worldview made the deal with TWC execs David Glasser, Dan Guando and Negeen Yazdi.
Gray wrote the script with Richard Menello. Early on it was called Low Life and American Dream, but Gray's camp says it is currently untitled. The film takes place in 1920, as two sisters immigrate to New York from Poland, and when one falls deathly ill, things turn nightmarish for the other sister, played by Cotillard. She is forced to trade sexual favors for medicine and food to keep her sister alive. Once they land, she is warned to keep quiet about what happened. Though she does, she walks away with immigration papers that deem her a woman with bad morals.
With no place to go, she falls prey to a charming sleazebag (Phoenix), who persuades her to turn tricks in New York. Renner plays the parasite's cousin, a magician who sweeps the young woman off her feet and is her best chance to escape the nightmarish life she has fallen into. It's Gray's fourth film with Phoenix, who previously starred in The Yards, We Own The Night and most recently Two Lovers. It also marks Gray's second film with Harvey Weinstein, who also distributed The Yards. That one ended contentiously, but it was a long time ago and I'm told that TWC has big plans for this one.

But Boeing's most recent problems with the plane extended beyond battery technology, global safety regulators, canceled service and a steady stream of negative publicity. The company's shares on Wall Street are sharply lower as well.
Growing list of problems
Most problems have been considered fixable and described as growing pains for a new airliner. But these experts say any battery system design problem would raise larger issues for the manufacturer, carriers and travelers.
Dreamliners fly 150 flights daily worldwide, Boeing said.
Since July, the growing list of reported troubles aboard the planes include a fuel leak, an oil leak, two cracked engines, a damaged cockpit window and a battery problem.
The FAA announced a safety review of the aircraft last week before taking stricter action on Wednesday.
In the most serious incident so far, an All Nippon Airlines (ANA) 787 with 129 people aboard made an emergency landing after a battery alarm on Wednesday. Those aboard reported a burning smell in the cabin, and an alarm indicated smoke in a forward electrical compartment.
Hours later, ANA and Japan Airlines announced that they were grounding their Dreamliners -- a total of 24 planes -- pending an investigation. Japanese authorities followed suit, saying the planes should stay on the ground until battery safety could be assured.
The head of India's civil aviation regulator, Arun Mishra, also asked Air India to halt operation of its six Dreamliners for the time being. The European Aviation Safety Agency said it, too, had adopted the FAA directive, which applies to the two 787s flown by the Polish carrier LOT.
Ethiopian Airlines also announced it was temporarily grounding four Dreamliners, according to regional manager Yohannes Teklu.

SOURCE: Lighting Outlet Denver
Lighting Outlet Denver announced that their showroom is receiving a large shipment of brand name lamps and home lighting fixtures which will be available to the public at a discount of 50-80% off retail.
Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 28, 2013
Owner Rob Hailpern said, "We have ordered around 300 lighting fixtures and lamps that will arrive in multiple shipments between now and the beginning of February." These shipments include brand name floor lamps, wall sconces, pendants, flush mounts, chandeliers, outdoor lights, table lamps, and bathroom vanity lights. All of these discount lighting options are available online.
About Lighting Outlet Denver
Lighting Outlet Denver carries only the top quality brand name home lighting fixtures. In stock are manufacturers such as Quoizel, Access, Dolan, ET2, Kichler, PLC, Trans Globe, Elk, George Kovacs, Quorum, and Maxim.
What makes Lighting Outlet Denver so unique is that they operate as lighting liquidators. Lighting Outlet can offer the lowest prices because of their relationships with manufacturers and distributors. Lighting Outlet purchases unsold and discontinued home lighting products at a deep discount and passes those savings over to the public at prices of 50-80% off retail prices.
Colorado's Largest Lighting Showroom
Lighting Outlet Denver has the largest fully stocked discount lighting showroom in Colorado. Their 24,000 square foot Denver lighting showroom is one of the most complete lighting stores Denver has to offer.
One great aspect of Lighting Outlet Denver's model is that all discounted home light fixtures and lamps available on Lighting Outlet Denver's new website are in stock. This means that customers do not have to wait weeks after a purchase for delivery which is commonly the case with other discount lighting websites.
As people upgrade their indoor lighting in bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, hallways and bathrooms, they inevitably go to their local lighting showroom or research and shop online. The discounted prices on outdoor and indoor lights of 50-80% off mean that the new inventory at Lighting Outlet Denver will be sold fast to these consumers.
Home Lighting
Well placed lighting can improve the interior environment of your home. Lighting adds allure and charisma to a room. It can make a smaller room appear more open and less confining, and light can make a larger room appear cozy and enjoyable. It can create a appealing ambience for an evening of entertainment, or a relaxed feeling of comfort after a long, exhausting day.
Light fixtures are a great accessory to enhance a home's decor. There are so many styles of light fixtures that can bestow the finishing touch to a home's interior design. Lighting is an inexpensive choice for home remodeling or decorating that can improve a room considerably at a minor cost.

He founded modern South Africa.
The boy who grew up herding cattle in the hills of the rural Transkei area and attended a Methodist missionary school where he was given the name "Nelson" has dedicated his adult life to opposing the racist and segregationist policy of apartheid.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela at first advocated peaceful opposition to white rule in early work with the African National Congress, a liberation movement. But the stubbornness of the apartheid regime increasingly frustrated him, until he turned to armed struggle shortly after the Sharpeville Massacre in 1960 in which police killed some 69 black protesters, shooting many of them in the back. Shortly after the protest the regime banned the African National Congress and another liberation movement, the Pan Africanist Congress.
In 1964, Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment for carrying out acts of sabotage. In prison he became an international symbol of opposition to apartheid. Over the decades that followed, as the movement against white rule in South Africa began to grow and unrest inside the country became increasingly violent, it became clear to the white government that they could no longer continue to govern without consulting the African National Congress and, in particular, Nelson Mandela.
In the 1980s, Mandela worked from prison to facilitate talks between the apartheid government and the ANC. He was unconditionally released from prison in 1990, just days after the ban on the African National Congress and the Pan Africanist Congress was lifted.
After spending 27 years in prison, on his release Mandela pursued a policy of reconciliation between black and white in South Africa. Many of the apartheid laws were repealed in the early '90s, but a few of the apartheid era laws are controversially still on the books.
Mandela became president of South Africa in 1994, but he stood for only one term before stepping down and continuing to foster national reconciliation. Some have criticized Mandela for placing too much emphasis on reconciliation and not transforming the country enough, but the vast majority of South Africans revere his legacy and its meaning in the society they inhabit today.
Visitors to the stunning nation at the tip of the continent can retrace many of Mandela's most significant moments, among them his release from prison 23 years ago, on February 11, 1990.

Mini Travel Scrapbook Album scrapbooking on the go
Posted 10 September 2012 - 11:21 PM
I have a couple of questions. Has anyone here done this sort of album? Also I'm looking for suggestions on supplies to use. I've started a wish list just for this project. I've picked out some basic travel embellies, and some map papers. I did see some things for Paris and London but not for Rome per se. I'd love to hear what you might suggest. The albums I've seen have used some very generic papers. I may do that but I know everyone here usually has good ideas.

Humorous, scathing beer review
This beer review has nothing to do with Ohio. But I found Todd Haefer's description of Lazy Mutt Farmhouse Ale so scathing and entertaining at the same time that I thought I'd post a link here. Haefer reviewed the beer from Minhas Brewing Co. in Monroe, Wisc., for the Appleton Post-Crescent newspaper.
"I first noticed an unpleasant, heavy yeast aroma, almost sewerish, before I even took my first sip," he wrote. "Thoughtfully, however, it was accompanied by an equally sewerish yeast flavor. Then the first traces of a sharp popcorn-like taste kicked in, enhanced by a thin, watery body."

Five questions with ... Doug Muranyi
Doug Muranyi is the brewmaster at Kelleys Island Brewery. He and his wife Patti Johnson-Muranyi also own the brewpub, one of four brewpubs on the Lake Erie Islands and the only one on Kelleys Island. Because of its location, the brewpub is a seasonal operation and relies on island tourism for business. It's also one of the most difficult breweries to visit in Ohio since you have to take a ferry to get to it. Kelleys Island Brewery has one of the most beautiful brewery settings in the state. A stone patio overlooks the lake and mainland, giving visitors a gorgeous view while enjoying a beer. Kelleys Island Brewery is set to open for the season April 27.
Question: Why did you become a brewer?
Answer: I became a brewer with my brother in the late 80's and early 90's because we were looking for a better product. All the beers were watered down. It was so far from tasty. Back then Coors was the cat's meow. Now look at our beer shelves.
Q: Since Kelleys Island Brewery is on a Lake Erie island, it relies on tourism and is closed during the winter. Are there special challenges operating a seasonal brewery?

Vindictus Review
By Erhan Altay
Vindictus was first announced soon after the release of Mabinogi. During its long development cycle, the game took on the name Vindictus after ditching the original title, which was Mabinogi Heroes. The game maintains the Celtic theme, but is in most respects is completely different than its anime-styled predecessor. Vindictus is a realistic, action-packed brawler with high quality graphics and high production value all around. No MMORPG gamer should miss it.
Not What You Expect
Korean MMORPGs have a reputation for being repetitive and shallow, but Nexon went all out with Vindictus. The game runs on the Source engine which allows for gorgeous graphics and extensive interaction with the environment. More important than the visuals is the overall production value. Vindictus has great voice acting, dialogue that actually makes sense, and enough detail to make the world feel as in-depth as a Bioware RPG. The game offers extensive display options, and the options menu should look familiar to anyone with experience in other Source games like Counter Strike or Left 4 Dead. Like other Nexon games, Vindictus must be launched from the official website. Once the game starts up, players can chose from five playable characters which each represent a different class and playstyle. The characters are gender locked, so the dual wielding warrior Lann is always a male and the defensive Fiona is always a woman. While only three characters are currently available, the others will be patched in later.
Giant Spiders are Always Trouble
Players get a taste of everything Vindictus has to offer in an optional prologue mission that doubles as the game's tutorial. It can be skipped at any time, but players won't be able to go back to it unless they create a new character. Accounts have plenty of character slots, so players can experience the different playstyle each character offers. Some classes are easier than others, but the game does a great job of explaining this during character creation through the use of text and short videos. Character creation in Vindictus is actually broken up between two parts. Players choose their character before logging in, but name their character and customize their appearance after completing (or skipping) the prologue. The prologue itself starts with a cinematic where a group of mercenaries are getting ready to do battle with a giant spider which is ransacking a nearby village. A sultry oracle tries to prevent the mercenaries from killing the spider, as it was formerly her pet and the town's guardian. Unknown dark forces are at work driving the arachnid crazy and summoning a bunch of hostile gnolls in the process. Needless to say, things go awry and it falls on the player to defeat both the gnolls and the spider, while also saving the oracle lady from danger.
The Emerald Isle
After the prologue, players get a chance to customize the appearance of their character. There are plenty of options available including my favorite, the breast slider for the female characters. Hair color, hair styles, height, make up, eye brow, eye color, and more can be customized. Vindictus was developed by Devcat, the same studio behind Mabinogi and both games are based off Celtic mythology. While the animated style in Mabinogi was distinct, the more realistic feel of Vindictus does a much better job bringing the era to life. The town of Colhen where players begin their adventure is filled with wooden buildings, and small details like stray dogs that follow players around. Even the outfits players wear fit the medieval setting. The terrain is well rendered, and the interface is neat and organized. There's a chat box located on the bottom right, but chat bubbles also appear over the speaker's head. Like other brawlers, including Nexon's own Dungeon Fighter Online, only the towns in Vindictus are persistent. Only in certain regions can players interact with others, form parties, trade, or chat. Even the buildings in Vindictus are instanced in a sense. Players can't walk around inside them, instead they are greeted by a still image of the interior and can chat with the NPCs which appear as portraits. Its a bit odd at first, but gives the game an oldschool RPG feel. It is from these NPCs that players unlock new 'battles', which are the instanced stages in Vindictus.
Longboat Adventures
Like most MMORPGs, players will be going solo for the first few levels. It is possible to experience most of what Vindictus has to offer alone, but it is much more fun when played cooperatively with a group of friends or even strangers. Rather than simply show a list of available stages or portals, Vindictus does a pretty decent job of incorporating the instanced aspects into the game world. Players board longboats and head off towards certain destinations and return when they've completed what ever task they had to do. Yes, it's still instancing, but it feels more fluid than simply entering the same portal as everyone else yet ending up in different places. The deck of the longboat acts as the waiting room while a bulletin board near the docks serves as the lobby. Players can wait around on the ship and mess around by breaking crates, barrels, and throwing around fruit while waiting for others to join their 'room.' When ready to start the stage, the host can hit the appropriate button and the party can be on its way.
Hack and Slash to Victory
If the prologue wasn't enough, the first mission in Vindictus also serves as a sort of introduction to the game. The redundancy can be excused because of how different the game is from most other MMORPGs. Like Divine Souls, Vindictus has fast-paced, hack and slash combat. This means players will be manually controlling each swing of the sword of each spell cast. Two control schemes are available, including mouse and keyboard movement. In this case, serious gamers should stick with the mouse option since that's the one in which W,A,S,D control movement while the mouse controls the camera. In my humble opinion it gives players more precise controls. The left and right mouse buttons control the two main attack types, but other keyboard keys also play a role. The 'e' key grabs objects or opponents, and 'r' is used to deal finishing blows on enemies. There's no way to jump in Vindictus, hitting the space bar causes the character to roll forward like Link from a Legend of Zelda title. Players only have to worry about fighting wooden dummies during the first level, and on-screen prompts do a good job explaining the controls as the stage progresses. A boss awaits at the end of each stage, and stages can be set at three difficulty settings. There are many variables that determine the reward at the end of a mission including Oaths of Honor, which are additional challenges players can take on to increase the BP (battle points) they receive. These oaths come in many shapes and sizes, but some simple ones include finishing the battle within a time limit or with a certain number of players.
Making Progress
One of the most original aspects of Vindictus (something that sets it apart even from other brawler MMORPGs), is the ability to interact so thoroughly with the environment. This feature is due in large part the the Source engine on which Vindictus was built. The crazy physics capabilities that the Source engine is capable of pulling off were first displayed in Half Life 2. Players can pick up and throw various objects, ranging from barrels, to broken pillars, and even monsters. That's right, players can pick up one monster and chuck it towards another. Better still, its possible to grab one opponent and use it as a shield against arrows that another foe may be firing. Besides picking up and throwing stuff, Vindictus also has destructable environments. While this serves mainly a cosmetic purpose, it does allow players to take alternative paths or reach hidden items during some stages. Most monsters don't drop loot in Vindictus, so there's no 'vendor trash' that players have to unload at the end of each mission. Instead, loot is few and far between, but almost everything dropped is used in crafting. Empty bottles are used to make potions, while leather and other resources are used to fashion new equipment. The experience rate is pretty slow, but players earn AP by completing battles and can use them to upgrade their skills. Players cant max out every available skill and must choose how to specialize their character. The only fault I could find with the skill system is the need to purchase skill books. It's a feature common to MMORPGs, but what's the point?
A New Standard
There are other nitpicks to be made with Vindictus. It feels a bit odd when enemies seem to be equally hurt whether hit by a stone pillar and a wooden barrel lid – but these are small issues. Overall, Vindictus is a top notch game that can be enjoyed by fans of both traditional MMORPGs and action gamers who previously shied away from the genre due to the normally slow-paced gameplay. A common complaint with Asian MMORPGs in particular is the laughable English translations and lack of story, but that is not the case here. The dialogue flows smoothly, so much so that I actually found myself reading it! Text is kept to a minimum and only presented one line at a time to avoid wall-of-text syndrome. The story it self isn't anything special, but it gets the job done. As with any free-to-play title, Vindictus is a constant work in progress. So far, I am pleased to say the foundations are strong. Where Nexon takes the game from here will determine how well it holds up.
Final Verdict: Excellent
Vindictus offers a fresh gameplay style combined with great graphics and a well crafted world to explore. Like other brawlers, Vindictus makes heavy use of instancing, but makes the process feel more realistic. The gameplay is fluid, and the ability to interact with the environment adds another layer of depth to a game that already oozes with production value.

Technology used to advance a better life for and authentic service to humanity is good; anything used to erode our rights is not.
In more than 1,000 jurisdictions across the U.S., drones are being used by national, state and local law enforcement without warrants. I call upon both candidates for district attorney to stipulate that they will not endorse a drone action without probable cause.
I ask all sheriff candidates to submit to this constitutional provision to enforce and protect all Catoosa and Walker citizens' Fourth Amendment rights, and all other rights unless probable cause emerges for individuals organically.
Give us an answer before we vote, and join us (we the people) who are against drones spying, even if it is on U.S. public lands.
We still have a right to privacy of our papers and things. If you honor the U.S. Constitution, honor this and pledge "no drones without probable cause" in the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, even on public lands.
Let all the people have all our rights.
I want all of mine.
Do you?
