Good mods for a Bethesda game? Surely thou jest.

Good mods for a Bethesda game? Surely thou jest.
If you like living dangerously the same modder made this insanely hardcore-sounding dragon combat overhaul.
There are some cool lighting mods as well, which make nighttime and caves super-dark. Another that makes spells/flames etc actually illuminate the environment. Both are nice for the extra immersion, but extra harsh lighting can be a bit much, down to personal preference really. Extra gore mods are always fun. Improved snow textures are also very nice. Haven't played Skyrim for ages tho, so prob best to just search for specific versions yourself.
edit: yeah, should probably just search for an existing thread actually >.<
All of them
Been playing some Don't Starve, and I'm genuinely impressed by the unexpected depth of the game. It's fun, it's creepy, and it generates a great "survival game" feel. I've been deliberately avoiding just about all information about the game, and playing it completely blind, but I do find there's one thing I can't figure out: how the heck do I get wooden boards? I have logs, I have sticks, I presume I have to make boards somehow but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help?
Boards are in the materials tab, but you have to research them before you can build them using the research machine thing.
On other hand i started Dead Space 1,sure its not true horror game but fuck it,suprisingly its quite fun game. It reminds me of RE4,space edition :P
Without going into spoiler territory, how much do the other characters change the game? That is, should I restart with the scientist or would it be better to try someone else. Are the construction trees different for different people?
Dead Island: Riptide
It feels like it's held together by duct tape and prayers. It never starts at the first attempt. It's also one of the most immersive games I've ever played.
This is strange because it's full of non-sensical gameplay systems and quirks. Something always pops up on the screen, the containers respawn, you pay workbenches to fix and upgrade your weapons, the weather changes in about one second...
I don't mind any of it.
It does the whole loot-and-quirky-weapons thing a lot better than Borderlands. The exploration is on par with Stalker or The Elder Scrolls. It's very well balanced. There's always something new to discover or a new quest to take on. The challenge system and the continuous events are fucking amazing, as I'm always working towards something and the rewards are extremely generous. It feels like I reach Nirvana when after a couple of hours in the wild I return to the base with gifts and get a gigantic XP boost.
On top of that I love the slow pace and the combat. I suspect the sluggish movement is a dealbreaker for many, many people.
I'm going to preorder Dying Light and Hellraid.
Came back to Borderlands 2 just to get stuck in an area (Something "Cauldron") without being able to find the exit, until I remembered that I can just quit, save and continue and start at the entrance to the level. So basically I was saved from a bad level design by a bad save system.
Borderlands 2 with some work comrades. Its fun and I do find myself loving the gun designs and humour of the game here and there but my sessions seem to be getting shorter and short as I find myself getting bored between story quests.
Also started Warframe after hearing some good reviews. Just past the tutorial and it reminds me a lot of MassEffect multi player,
I can't be sure, but saw no hint that the trees would be different.
Started playing Dishonored, stealthy and non-lethal of course. The first proper mission is gloriously long! Loving the world and the complexity of the levels.
At one point I got spotted and thought what the hell, murdered four guards at the same time before reloading. The sword fighting seems quite beautifully fluid. Might have to do a murderous speed-playthrough once I finish this one.
Oh, and they should totally have used British voice actors.
I just tried a ridiculous strategy and it worked:
Don't build any base buildings as Soviets in a CoH2 skirmish. Just spam conscripts and, if necessary, call-in units.
At one point I had three groups of three conscript squads each - Oorah! Molotov! - and while they don't last long under pressure, they're cheap as fuck, there's a million of 'em and they can outcap and therefore bleed the Germans for resources.
It was a 2v2, and I took the top half and my teammate did the traditional thing and took the bottom. At no point did I not have more or less all of the top, whereas my teammate was having troubles keeping 50% of the bottom, so I saw vehicles earlier than I wanted, but far, far later than the Germans wanted - we're talking 15 minutes without a vehicle, and 22 before a tank. By the time the tank came, I'd already been able to call in four T-34/85s because I had not spent any fuel on anything except conscript upgrades.
The MG42s could handle one or two conscripts, but not when you have so many and can just outflank 'em and Molotov from all directions. The scout cars and halftracks lasted about two seconds because the enemy would run them into my conscripts and then three AT grenades would go off at once. At the end of the match I had 105 deaths (to 207 kills) but didn't lose a single Conscript squad, so they were all vet 2 or 3 and thus that much harder to kill.
Mortars? Oorah and steal the mortar. Because I had the initiative the whole match it was hilariously easy to deal with the enemies as they came. Germans work best when they can dig in somewhere - but the sheer amount of flanking you can do with 7+ conscripts makes it nigh-impossible for them to cover all the bases. And of you lose 'em, who cares? They are cheeeep
Well strats that work in 2v2 rarely work in 1v1, but good job breaking the game nonetheless.
Intrusion II
Ok, it feels like a well-made flash shoot-em-up but there is a problem - it's rather boring and repetitive in my opinion, almost all stages should have been at least two times shorter. There is no real fun in the gameplay itself and in the scripted sequences, the only fun is from ridiculous boss-battles and firing ray-gun. All in all, a quality game for nostalgia-platformer crowd. Played for an hour and I doubt I'll touch it again.
I'm staring blankly on the screen not knowing what the hell should I play in this fine Sunday evening. I played a bit of Fallout 2, earlier. I'm curious of how much 'experience' does it take for me to get that powerfist off that guy after I win the arm-wrestling contest.

6 a.m. and we are on the road to the Guy Webster Museum ride. Apolo and Hugo strapped their Gileras onto the truck to drive over to Moorpark for the beginning of the 36mile canyon road ride to Guy Webster's place in Ojai, CA.
Stopped in Long Beach on the way up to meet up with Ernesto and Lester and fill up on gas and make sure that everything was still tied down.
Upon arriving in Moorpark everyone unloaded their motorcycles and got ready for the ride. Here is Ernesto's Ducati 175 Super Sport and Lester's Benelli 250 Sport Special.
The Benelli 250 Sport Special. A beautiful bike that I have always really enjoyed looking at.
Hugo's Gilera was just hanging out anxious for it's 36 mile ride over to Webster's museum.
Apolo's Gilera. A particularly loud bike, especially when he is blasting by you on a narrow canyon road with the throttle wide open.
Apolo and Lester letting their bikes warm up….
And Hugo too.
The bikes were lined up as people waited for the 10 a.m. ride start. This was a nice time to go around and check out everyone else's motorbike and let onlookers gawk at yours.
Another angle…. (Why not?)
A Rickman Triumph, an absolutely wonderful bike, was being ridden by Yoshi Kosaka of Garage Company.
And they're off! An amazing ride from Moorpark to the Guy Webster Museum in Ojai, CA through some winding back roads. Unfortunately I was following behind in the pickup truck.
Here's just a little taste of what there is inside of Guy Webster's place. One of the most amazing private collections of vintage motorcycles that there is.
Vintage Italian race bikes…..
Excuse me for the quick break from motorcycles, but I saw this in the parking area and had to snap away at it. The 66' Dodge Charger has always been one of my favorite muscle cars and this was a prime example of one.
I stood there and daydreamed about what it would be like to drive….
The design elements… (speechless)
Before we get back to the motorcycles I wanted to show you this guy! Webster's collection includes all sorts of automotive memorabilia. This vintage Michelin Man statue was too awesome.
How about this 1962 Honda CR77 to get you back onto the level of what Guy Webster has in his museum. This motorbike is just stunning.
… More of the collection.
The 1957 Mondial 125cc Grand Prix race bike with a full dustbin. This bike would have competed with the 1955 Ducati Grand Prix bike that Hugo helped restore.
For more on the Ducati check the link: (http://www.flickr.com/photos/southcount/sets/72157626446129003/) T
The bikes in the parking lot were also great. I just love Hondas. This CB750 looked amazing; that was the original paint. Check out that helmet too, so rad.
This Harley Davidson XR750 was awesome. Check out the Schwinn head tube badge; a funny little touch that I really enjoyed.
Time really flies when you're admiring amazing machines and we all could have let a lot more time go by, but we had to get back on the road to make it back to Moorpark before dark. Everyone got together for a quick late lunch and were off.
Ernesto, Lester, Apolo, Hugo and a couple of friends got together for a quick photo before we retraced our steps 36 miles back to the starting point.
A quick refill while we were still in Ojai.
The ride back went well. All the guys were able to have fun with some spirited riding and friendly competition. Here is Hugo just cruising down Route 150.
Ernesto, Hugo and Apolo regrouped one last time after Ernesto and Apollo drag raced right past a turn that they were supposed to take. All in all it was a great day, ride, and experience and I look forward to doing it again next year; next year I'll be on two wheels.
- Jose
For more pictures of the bikes check out my Flickr and website or go like the Speedmilk Facebook and the Jose Gallina Facebook.

For Consumers
Tentative approval of generic formulation of efavirenz
On December 20, 2007, FDA granted tentative approval for a generic formulation of efavirenz tablets, 600 mg, manufactured by Emcure Pharmaceuticals of Pune, India The application was reviewed under the expedited review provisions of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
As with all generic applications, FDA conducts an on-site inspection of each manufacturing facility and of the facilities performing the bioequivalence studies prior to granting approval or tentative approval to these applications to evaluate the ability of the manufacturer to produce a quality product and to assess the quality of the bioequivalence data supporting the application.
However, although tentatively approved generic products meet required standards, they cannot yet be fully approved and sold in the U.S. because of existing patents and/or exclusivity rights. But the tentative approval does make the product eligible for consideration for purchase under the PEPFAR program for use in nations where PEPFAR is active.
This product is a generic formulation of Sustiva tablets, 600 mg, made by Bristol Myers Squibb Co. which is subject to existing patents, as listed in the agency's publication titled Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, also known as the "Orange Book"
Efavirenz is a Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTI) indicated for treatment of HIV infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents.

Epcot's Candlelight Processional
Sponsor ads WDW Magazine --> Book your trip --> Save Money at WDW
The Candlelight Processional in Epcot is one of our families favorite holiday traditions. Every time we go we schedule our vacation around seeing this show. In fact, for us Christmas doesn't start until we hear these guys blow their horns ...
Candlelight Processional
Each year this wonderful Christmas tradition starts the day after Thanksgiving and runs through Dad's birthday (it always ends on Dad's birthday). Three shows every day and every one is packed. Overflowing. It's amazing.
Sponsor ad
What is it?
The American Gardens Theater is home to the show. During each show a celebrity narrator reads the story of the birth of Jesus from scripture. The readings are accompanied by music that talks about the section just read. This is the 39th year for Disney to host the show.
The Music
The music is provided by a 50 piece orchestra, a 500 member choir, and the Voices of Liberty. It's quite a show. Disney cast members try out to be part of the Christmas Tree (in the middle of the choir) and high school and college choirs from around the country are invited to join.
Here is a list of some of the music you will hear (the music changes a bit from year to year, but for the most part the classics are always there).
- O Holy Night
- Shout for Joy
- What Child is This?
- O Come All Ye Faithful
- Hallelujah Chorus
- Rejoice with Execeeding Great Joy
- Away in a Manger
- Angels We Have Heard on High
- Silent Night
We love listening to the CD we got when we went to the show. We listen to it regularly. If you'd like a copy you can download a copy from Amazon.com.

Dad's Christmas at Disney World page
The Dinner Package
To get a guaranteed seat for the show you need to sign up for the dinner package. Most of the theater is reserved for guests that have reserved a dinner package.
Dad's Candlelight Processional Dinner Package
There are limited seats available for general admission. They are toward the back of the theater. You must get in line early to get a seat. You will be allowed into the theater about 15 minutes prior to the show and after the Dinner Package guests are inside. (Guests have been known to line up as much as 45 minutes before the show.)
You will be able to hear the show all around the American Pavilion.
Dad's Bottom Line
This is one of the those extra things that Disney does that sets them apart from other theme parks. In Dad's opinion this is one of the best Christmas celebrations around.
Don't miss it.

As the trade deadline approaches the New York Yankees phone has started ringing as teams have begun to call about pitcher Phil Hughes according to Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY.
The #Yankees getting offers now for Phil Hughes.
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) July 31, 2013
Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes is in the final year of his contract and will be a free agent this winter. As of right now Hughes is 4-9 with a 4.58 ERA.
The Yankees aren't looking to resign the pitcher, he struggles at home and fares much better on the road. On the road Hughes has a 3.02 ERA but at home it nearly doubles to a 6.02 ERA. Not to mention his 1-7 record in the Bronx this season. Out of the 20 home runs he's allowed this season, 14 of which have been at home.
There aren't anymore details offered on what the two offers the Yankees received were or where they came from for that matter.
Philadelphia Phillies infielder Michael Young said he'd go to the New York Yankees, is that a trade in the works?
Michael Young says he will go to #Yankees

John Singleton Copley, Samuel Adams, c. 1772
From the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston:
In this celebrated portrait, Adams is shown at what he himself would always consider his greatest moment: his confrontation with Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson the day after the Boston Massacre of March 5, 1770, during which Adams demanded the expulsion of British troops from the town. He points to the charter and seal granted Massachusetts by King William and Queen Mary; in his right hand is the clearly legible petition "Instructions of … Town Boston," prepared by his aggrieved fellow citizens.Although Copley was careful not to advertise his political views, the commission to paint Adams gave him the opportunity to experiment with a kind of portraiture that was as radical as his subject. Most of his earlier paintings adhered to the convention of including attributes that alluded in only a general way to the career of the sitter—a merchant might be shown with a ledger, a landowner against a grand architectural backdrop, and so on. A portrait occasioned by a significant event in the sitter's life—such as marriage or coming into an inheritance—would refer to the event obliquely, if at all. In an era when portraits were meant to present an ideal conception of the subject, more direct allusions would have been considered too particularizing. But in Samuel Adams there are no distancing, moderating decorative accessories; the sitter is commandingly real, almost terrifyingly present. Copley linked the portrait to a specific historic moment that was urgently familiar to all who saw it. Yet at the same time he created an image with a larger-than-life message. Adams's defiant gesture and gaze arrest the viewer, who is cast in the role of Governor Hutchinson himself. The charge to Hutchinson, who unlike other royal representatives was not imposed upon Massachusetts from abroad but was himself a Bostonian, was also a challenge to the viewer's loyalty, a challenge at once stirring and discomforting. Adams's declamatory gesture, worthy of a Roman senator, connotes power and authority; his figure is unusually sculptural. Although his zeal is undeniable, there is little of the fanatic, the incendiary here. The documents he points to insist upon the rule of law, not emotion, and the classical columns behind him underscore an association with republican virtue and rationality. Adams is presented as a man of reason, and the image is all the more potent for it.

"The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy."
This is how we talk about learning, growth and the human future?
Things are getting worse in the American classroom, not better. The experts and the special interests purporting to fix the educational system are continuing, instead, to asphyxiate it.
The grandiose quote, above, in which "our young people" show up as abstractions needing to be prepped for some simplistic, highly competitive imaginary future (fully understood by the experts), is part of the mission statement of the Common Core State Standards Initiative, the Obama administration's showcase education reform initiative.
Just like the disastrous No Child Left Behind Act of the Bush era, in whose wake it follows, it's all about testing and uniform standards and the "rigorous" evaluation of schools and teachers; and it's clueless about the nature of childhood development, not to mention reality. Its primary mission, as with NCLB, is to pull education out of the hands and hearts of teachers and turn its administration over to politicians and their corporate sponsors. It both defunds and belittles the learning process.
And the primary metaphor for school remains "the pipeline" — either the cradle-to-prison pipeline, which is what education amounts to for so many young people in poverty-stricken neighborhoods, or the cradle-to-career pipeline, as Education Secretary Arne Duncan would have it.
It's not that the pipeline is broken. Rather, as educator AdamBessie put it in a brilliant piece of graphic commentary published at Truthout, "the metaphor is broken" — the metaphor of the public schools as an industrial sluiceway, washing our children anywhere at all.
An educational system that fails to revere children and honor their potential — that turns schools into 3R boot camps, demanding the regurgitation of specified data on command, but shrugs off the importance of holistic thinking or simply learning to think for oneself — is insane at its core. Welcome to the 21st century!
While the educational process has always been hierarchical and right-answer-oriented, things have only gotten worse over the last several decades. Now, with the Common Core State Standards Initiative, which defines and scripts the lessons to be taught, the micromanagement of teaching — and learning — has reached a new extreme.
"Teachers are not allowed to use their own methods to introduce the material, manage the classroom, or share their own wisdom," Nicholas Tampio wrote last month at Huffington Post, describing this process. "Students are not encouraged to connect the material to their own lives, events in the world, or things that may interest them. The script tells the teachers and students, at all times, what to say and do."
Such scripts, Tampio wrote, "suck the oxygen out of a classroom."
And longtime teacher Marion Brady wrote last week in the Washington Post: "Pushback against a system now abusing the young and wasting their potential is decades overdue. Teachers need autonomy, freedom to experiment, and opportunities for meaningful dialogue with each other and the communities they serve that they don't now have."
Uniform, scripted educational standards — especially combined with the ongoing defunding of our schools — are not going to implant "the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers," let alone allow them to manifest their extraordinary potential in ways we can't begin to imagine. They're more likely to shut down the future altogether.
Stan Karp, writing for the Rethinking Schools website in January, noted that No Child Left Behind "was a failure in raising academic performance and narrowing gaps in opportunity and outcomes. But by very publicly measuring the test results against arbitrary benchmarks that no real schools have ever met, NCLB succeeded in creating a narrative of failure that shaped a decade of attempts to 'fix' schools while blaming those who work in them. The disaggregated scores put the spotlight on gaps among student groups, but the law used these gaps to label schools as failures without providing the resources or supports needed to eliminate them."
And, he added, speaking of the Obama initiative, "The problem is that this game, like the last one, is rigged."
Karp's concept of "a narrative of failure" reminded me of my own years as a parent ushering a child through the educational system, twenty-some years ago. By then, testing mania had already taken serious hold of the process, throwing it absurdly out of whack. When my daughter was in the third grade, she started taking standardized tests, which meant that her teacher, otherwise a wonderfully creative woman, was forced to teach to the test, which purported to measure writing skills, among other things.
Writing, which should summon forth a universe of wonder from kids, was reduced to five-paragraph slabs of dead prose, which could be "measured": opening paragraph, conclusion, etc. My daughter started to hate writing. And one day the teacher lamented to me that she was having trouble getting the students to . . . indent their paragraphs, which was necessary in order to succeed on the standardized test.
I listened dumbfounded, unable to imagine anything less relevant or more extraneous to the writing process. The only thing happening here was the creation of a new form of failure — a new way to be stupid. At the time, I didn't know what to say. Maybe I should have rushed into the room and opened a window. Those trapped inside clearly needed oxygen.

Automatic bot registration
Hi guys,
I'm getting automatic bot registration in http://onegative.org/register/ where the required profile fields are not filled out by the robots (by default missing required profile field gives an error)
I even have captcha on the registration page, containing a question placed in an image, which is quite difficult for robots to read and answer.
My guess is that the spammers found a back door for automatic registration on BuddyPress.
Shall I report this as a bug, or the issue is already known?

One in three people in England & Wales are not confident that if they complain to the police their complaint will be handled fairly, according to a survey for the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) published today.
The finding is consistent with the IPCC's own recently published reviews of police handling of complaints, part of our on-going work and the IPCC's three-year plan for improving public confidence in the complaints system, also published today.
The survey of more than 4,000 people also found:
a growing proportion of people – three out of four – say they would complain if really unhappy about how a police officer behaved towards them or handled a matter they were involved in; but two out of five of those questioned were not confident they would know how to do so
people from ethnic minority communities were less likely to say they would complain, and more likely to fear harassment if they did so
people aged 15-24 are less likely to be happy with the way police treated them but less willing to complain or to have confidence in the police dealing fairly with complaints.
IPCC Chair, Dame Anne Owers, said: "The majority of the 30,000 complaints made annually about the police are handled by the police service itself. This survey shows that too many people are still either unsure of how to make a complaint about the police or don't believe their complaint will be dealt with fairly. It is particularly worrying that young people and those from ethnic minorities have lower confidence in the complaints system.
"The survey underlines the importance of the plan we are launching today, and there is clearly more work to be done by both the police and IPCC to improve access, awareness and trust in the complaints system and those who work in it."
The 2014 Public Confidence Survey is the sixth in a series over the last ten years. It looks at public perceptions of the police, the complaints system, and the IPCC.
This year's survey shows the majority of people are aware of the IPCC (64%) and 77% of those people are confident that the IPCC deals with its work in an impartial way. However, awareness among ethnic minorities is less than half (32%) that of the white population (74%).
Other key findings from the survey include:
23% of people had had contact with police over the previous 12 months, a lower proportion than most earlier surveys but an increase on 2011 (20%);
the proportion of people (66%) stating they were happy with their contact with police has fallen back to 2004 levels after a high of 76% in 2011; and people from ethnic minority groups continue to be less happy (56%) than white people (68%).
Dame Anne said: "Later this year the IPCC will begin to take on more independent investigations into serious and sensitive allegations made against the police. That is an important part of our statutory responsibility to ensure public confidence in the police complaints system. But it is not enough, by itself, to achieve that aim.
"The survey findings underline the need for more work to address public confidence concerns, and how important it is we take forward our work to improve complaints handling, in partnership with forces, PCCs, and other policing bodies."
Steps set out under the IPCC's plans for oversight & confidence and engagement plans, which are published today, are:
developing additional guidance for police forces to handle complaints better, and formalising its work with Police and Crime Commissioners;
providing better information for the public on how their local force handles complaints, and continuing to make the case for a simplified complaints system that is easier for the public to use;
introducing a more robust system for holding forces to account and following up learning recommendations – new powers will compel forces to respond formally and publicly to IPCC recommendations;
continuing to argue for reform of the police disciplinary system to make it more timely and transparent;
undertaking a programme of engagement activity with BME communities and young people to increase awareness of the complaints system as well as understanding and tackling the barriers they face;
working towards a complete picture of case outcomes for individual officers and staff members across the complaints system including criminal and disciplinary proceedings and dealing with unsatisfactory performance.
The plan also builds on learning from the recent review of how the IPCC investigates deaths following police contact which benefited from feedback from bereaved families and other stakeholders.
In January this year, the IPCC issued a draft oversight and confidence plan for public consultation, and received more than 100 responses from a range of stakeholders, including members of the public, police forces, Police and Crime Commissioners and voluntary sector organisations. Respondents provided useful feedback and raised a variety of views including that the IPCC should do more to speed up its handling of cases and to improve the quality of its work.
The Oversight and Confidence plan launched today outlines the steps the IPCC will take, in cooperation with stakeholders including the College of Policing, HMIC and Police and Crime Commissioners, to improve complaints handling and embed good practice in policing.
The IPCC conducted a series of pilot oversight projects in 2013/14 that examined in detail how forces are handing aspects of the complaints system, most recently an investigation into how forces handle allegations of discrimination. The reports identified significant failings in how forces handle complaints and can be found here.

Live updates from day one of the third and final Test between South Africa and Pakistan at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on Friday.
South Africa innings:
End of over 15: 53 for 2: Pakistan have bowled with purpose here, and after losing their openers, Hashim Amla (23*) and Faf du Plessis (6*) have been very cautious with their selection of shots.
End of over 10: 38 for 2. Wicket on debut for Ehsan Adil. Graeme Smith (5) tried to close the face of the bat too early, which results in an edge easily pouched by Younis Khan in the slips. So two quick wickets; exactly the start Pakistan would have hoped for. Hashim Amla (18*) is now joined by Faf du Plessis.

Manufacturer's Description
Front and Back LCD Screens
Turn every scene into a photo op - starring you! The 1.5" Front LCD Screen lets you get out from behind the camera and get in the shot. You can perfectly frame yourself in the picture, quick and easy. Never miss another once-in-a-lifetime moment. With Child Mode, you can keep small children's attention through built-in animations that captures those special expressions only kids can make. The Countdown Timer lets you coordinate any shot perfectly.
Rear LCD Touch Screen
The TL225 offers simple navigation, at the tip of your finger. The rear LCD screen allows you to scroll quickly through all menus, and easily access your photo library. The Haptic vibration response registers your choices. Quickly access and use the camera's key features with either a simple finger tap or hand gesture, using the revolutionary new Gesture UI.
Smart Auto
Take professional-looking photos with Samsung's Smart Auto feature. Smart Auto analyzes key elements of your composition such as color, brightness, motion and subject; then automatically adjusts to take the perfect shot. So you never have to worry about your photos being washed out, too dark or out of focus. Smart Auto has 14 different preset modes, for a variety of settings. These modes can be bypassed for manual control.
12.2 Megapixel Resolution
Samsung's TL225 comes fully equipped with a true color-filtered 12.2 megapixel CCD and boasts a powerful 4.6x optical zoom, guaranteeing some of the sharpest images available. This camera also produces incredibly detailed images which can be used for printing poster-sized photos.
27mm WIDE Angle lens
The TL225's 27mm wide angle lens plus 4.6x optical zoom gives you a wider shooting range from a shorter distance with more flexibility than 35mm cameras. Capture images of beautiful landscapes, entire wedding parties and skyscrapers without having to back up to get the shot. The precisely cut 27mm optical lens from Schneider-KREUZNACH delivers clear, clean images with even resolution from center to edges. Each lens surface is multi-coated to minimize ghosting or flaring for a great shot every time.
Image Stabilization
The Advanced Dual Image Stabilization (IS) feature allows you to capture crystal-clear, blur-free shots without using a flash or tripod. The TL225's Advanced Dual IS combines both Optical and Digital Image Stabilizers to produce sharp images without the noise commonly found in other cameras. The optical IS compensates for hand trembling by shifting the lens in the opposite direction. When using Optical IS isn't quite enough, the Digital IS automatically takes over to ensure blur-free images.
HD Movies & HDMI Connection
Record movies in the palm of your hand. The TL225 is like having a compact HD video camera that also takes professional-grade photos. You can record HD video in 1280x720p resolution at 30 frames per second. The H.264 format also allows you to record twice as much as an MP4 and four times more than an MJPG - the format used in many other digital cameras - and delivers a much higher video and sound quality. With the TL225's mini-HDMI connector, you can watch your HD videos with any HDTV or HD monitor. (Adaptor not included)
Recycle bin
Accidents happen. But now that shot you didn't really mean to delete is saved in the TL225's Recycle Bin. You can rest easy, because every shot is automatically stored in a temporary folder just in case you have second thoughts.
Smart Album
Samsung's Smart Album feature lets you quickly scroll through your entire image library and organize images a multitude of ways, including; Favorite, Face, Color, Content
Frame Guide
Not everyone takes pictures as well as you. Until now. The TL225's Frame Guide let's you set up the shot you want. Then just hand it off to a friend and your frame guide is there to follow. All you have to do is smile.

10:49AM "This is a big update, it fixes lots of bugs. Fewer dropped calls, big battery life improvements. No crashes with Apps. Backing up is faster." Nice.
Couple more days to find out just how much they fixed (or broke) the firmware.
EDIT: ^^ Beat me to it.
@Mod: Delete this post
It looks like they just got stuff we already have.
I am getting antsy in the pantsy where is my 2.1? I am even willing to live with a non-jailbroken iphone just to hear if there are actually any new features, or even if they make the thing JUST WORK that would be nice
Background push will be godly though. If they can really increase my battery life on my 3g to the point where i can actually turn on 3g ever and not have a dead phone in 6 hours...that would be nice.
also, people with sericcsons and nokias have no need for e-mail, because the carrier offers MMS etc. how much simpler and better would it be if everyone uses e-mail?
also, i am not 100% sure on this, but dont you need some sort of GPRS/EDGE or 3G connection to send an MMS? so the charge you are paying to send MMS is based on the data usage to send the message + carrier charge for sending it in their format? whereas, if (like with my countries iphone tariff) you have unlimited internet, you can send/recieve multimedia messages all day long for a grand total of £0.00, and they can be any size you wish, and they get synced to your online e-mail account so getting them on your mac/pc if you wish is seamless, and no quality is lost?
this is what apple wants, and its what apple wants to change. before the iphone, look at the phones we had. look at the phones that are coming out now, xperia x1, htc android phone etc. iphone has revolutionized the mobile phone, im sure they can revolutionize the way we send multimedia mesages.
i understand its dependant on the carrier, but i cant see google pushing MMS as far with android as they would do e-mail? so the 2 brightest prospects for the future: iphone os x and android, both pushing e-mail.
best advice is to embrace e-mail and next time someone says, "you can't recieve MMS? lol" (we have all had it), just say "OMG you haven't set e-mail up with your phone yet? lol"
as for the firmware, it is worthless to me until the dev-team pwn itunes 8 and firmware 2.1 half of me hopes it sucks, half hopes its amazing.
the update is a live
ive just finished downloading mine, so everyone can cripple the servers now kthx
downloading right now i hope i dont need itunes 8 to install it....also im without internet right now can i install it without conected on the net i have att..? im using the my iphone to connect to the net so yeah thats how im downloading it..

Upgrade Your Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 To Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean Via build UVDLI3 (OTA)
After the recent launch of the official Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 via the UVALH2 firmware update, it looks like even more treats are available for the device as another official OS upgrade bearing the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean mark has been leaked.
An interesting thing is the fact that you don't have to install different recovery tools (like ClokworkMod Recovery) in order to install the UVDLI3 firmware, because the Android developers finally managed to release a software compatible with our device's stock recovery .
The software is also reported to include a new feature, called Blocking Mode, which allows you to disable some of your device's features as you fancy. Take notifications, timer, alarm, incoming calls or even a LED indicator for example.
You must be warned, though, that it could still have certain issues or bugs as this is not the final version of the custom ROM. Despite this, though, a small number of users have reported negligible trouble with the update.
In the next tutorial, I'm going to show you how to upgrade your Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 to the latest Android official version, aka Jelly Bean (UVDLI3- build).
Requirements and warnings
- You could end up with undesired results from using the guide instructions on any other devices than the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3, product number SGH-T999.
- You have no guarantee that these instructions will be functional under your unique and specific circumstances as the information available in this tutorial is provided with an instructional and educational character only.
- There will be held no responsibility or liability for whatever happens to your device as a result of using the following tutorial, which means you will be doing everything at your very own risk.
- Make sure you do not perform any instruction until you have read and understood the whole guide first.
- As you probably do not wish for your phone to shut down in the middle of the procedure, please ensure that its battery is at least 70%, if not fully charged.
- Have all your personal data (E.g. contacts, SMS, Wi-Fi passwords, Internet settings) backed up just in case the procedure erases such data. I recommend you to use this simple tutorial, if you don't know how to do that.
- Make sure that the Windows PC recognize your Samsung Galaxy S3 when you connect it via a compatible USB cable. If it happens to encounter troubles on this step, just install Samsung Kies and all USB drivers will be automatically installed (if you choose to install this software, don't forget to turn it off after the installation process, because it may interfere with the updating procedure).
- Your Samsung Galaxy S3's current firmware version should be the official Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (UVALH2- build). In case you have another version, I strongly advise you to follow the next guide on how to upgrade your T-Mobile S3 version to the UVALH2 firmware.
- Download the leaked UVDLI3 update for your T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 by pressing this link.
- Copy the file you've just downloaded directly on your S3's internal SD card.
- Turn off you device.
- Now you have to enter your S3 into stock recovery. You can do that by holding down the "Volume Up", "Home", and "Power" keys together until the screen turns on. Once you are in recovery mode you can use the "Volume" buttons to scroll up / down and the "Home" or "Power" button to select an option.
- Select the "Apply update from internal storage / SD card" option, scroll down and select the "UVDLI3" zip file you've saved earlier on the internal SD card.
- Wait a few moments for the process to complete and if your S3 doesn't reboot itself afterwards, return to the main menu and select the "Reboot system now" option.
Awesome!!! From now one you should experience the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean sensation directly on your T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3.

Source: Variety
Cameron Crowe was a big name in the 1990's. With hit films like Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous, he created a name for himself that became synonymous with quality. Then along came Elizabethtown, a rather uninspired drama that has kept him out of the game for five years. Today, Variety reports that he'll finally make his return to the big screen with 20th Century Fox's long-delayed dramedy called We Bought A Zoo.
The true story centers on a widowed father who buys a dilapidated zoo in hopes of making a fresh start. Facing enormous odds, he and his children, along with a small but loyal staff, work to get the zoo re-opened. The trade states that the multi-hyphenate Crowe just had his deal finalized by the studio, which will pay him to re-write Aline Brosh McKenna's adaptation of Benjamin Mee's memoir. As soon as he finishes his draft, Fox will go out to talent and is looking to land a top-tier male lead.
All I have to say is: it's about time! I've been waiting for Mr. Crowe to get back to what he does best since Vanilla Sky left me speechless. As Rod Tidwell once said: "Show me the moneeeeey"!

This is my Featherweight. I won it at a local auction about three years ago. I walked in and saw it sitting on the floor. I was bidding against one other person and she gave up at $200.00. Can you believe that? It was made in 1934! All it took to get up and running was a good cleaning, some oil and a new foot pedal. It really runs good for an old machine. Yesterday I got it out to see if it was working well enough to take on an upcoming retreat. Sure is!
I ordered a new handle for the case and four new rubber feet. I was sewing four patches together yesterday. I'm going to need over 400 of them! Had to stop because I have to get to the cutting table.
Today I'm working on a pattern I picked up at a quilt show a couple of years ago. It's called Settler's Trail. The designer is Kathy Borgardt.
All those little squares are cut at 1". And, yes,there are thousands of them. I think I've lost my mind. I have a drawer full of muslin I'm using for the background. All those other squares are just pieces leftover from quilts I've made.
This is a long term project!

Freshfields "takes on Wall Street" and wants to discard magic circle tag in US

Like marriage, a law firm partnership was traditionally a relationship entered into for life. But times have changed.
Pastures new: The Freshfields Exodus
In the wake of its controversial 2006 pension reforms and subsequent restructuring, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has haemorrhaged partners on a global scale, and the departures continue.
London has seen the bulk of the partner losses with Jo Rickard, Ian Harvey-Samuel and Lois Moore heading for US firm Shearman & Sterling, while John Bowman, Graham Prentice and Paul Watchman all joined LeBoeuf Lamb Greene & MacRae (now Dewey & LeBoeuf). David Ereira has joined Linklaters, Peter Bloxham now carries out a non-legal role at life insurer Prudential and Sandy Shandro is dean of University College London's law faculty, as well as a door tenant at 3 Verulam Buildings. Peter Green and Jeremy Jennings-Mares have joined the London office of Morrison & Foerster, Gerwin Janke left to set up his own firm, Rex Rosales joined Reed Smith Richards Butler, Roger Enock has moved across to Covington & Burling while his colleague Martin Wright, who was due to join him, is currently considering his options. Anthony McWhirter has joined Debevoise & Plimpton while, more recently, Hugh Crisp has announced his departure for a place on the Said Business School's advisory board.
In Europe, Freshfields' German offices also saw a number of high-level departures, with Eckhard Martin moving to Nörr Stiefenhofer Lutz, Berlin partner Alfried Heidbrink heading to Lindenpartners, Stefan Krueger joining the Frankfurt office of SJ Berwin and Lutz Krämer defecting to White & Case. André Kowalski left the firm's Düsseldorf office to join German boutique Franz Rechtsanwälte, Gunhild Schäfer was appointed as a lawyer at the highest German civil law court, the Bundesgerichtshof, and Frankfurt-based Nikolaus Reinhuber joined Baker & McKenzie.
The Paris office has seen a number of departures, with Philippe Hameau, Yves Huyghe de Mahenge and Eric Schwartz all heading to Dewey & LeBoeuf, Glenn Matheson joining Norton Rose and Xavier Buffet Delmas joining Hogan & Hartson.
In Brussels, managing partner Michael Schutte left for Howrey, while corporate partner Klaus Heinemann left for Marx Van Ranst Vermeersch & Partners.
In Italy, Bird & Bird poached Amedeo Rampolla, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe attracted Franco Campomori and Allen & Overy (A&O) hired Stefano Sennhauser.
Further departures were suffered in Japan, with A&O hiring Nobuo Nakata and Clifford Chance poaching Masayuki Okamoto.
No firm knows this better than Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. Its restructuring, documented in detail by The Lawyer, saw the firm cull scores from its equity from mid-2006 onwards, with many - some Freshfields lifers among them - leaving the firm voluntarily to take advantage of expiring pension scheme benefits.
A rough patch for the firm, certainly, and one brought about largely because partners felt they had been presented with something of a Hobson's choice. But Freshfields has bounced back; its resilience appears to be immense.
Perhaps more importantly, the departees have also found that while breaking up has not been easy, life goes on even when partnership at the magic circle has ended.
Insolvency partner Peter Bloxham, who joined Freshfields after qualifying in 1977, effectively spent his entire qualified career at the firm - nearly three decades. His age discrimination law suit against the firm ensured that Freshfields' internal politics dominated the headlines for more than a year. Although his planned retirement from the partnership was brought forward by six months due to Freshfields' infamous pension reforms, Bloxham says the choices open to him post-Freshfields softened the blow of the parting.
"I had been planning to retire and was going to take some time off to start thinking about what to do next," he says. "Because I left a bit earlier I didn't really do any thinking and before I could an opportunity at the Pru came along that interested me, so I accepted it."
Although he remains self-employed and essentially independent from Prudential, Bloxham has taken on the role of a with-profits policyholder advocate at the life insurance giant - one of many positions he was offered on leaving Freshfields.
"I've been really lucky in that on leaving a magic circle firm there are lots of opportunities out there," he says. "At a time when morale was pretty low, it was very flattering that a lot of people made approaches to me.
"I didn't go to another firm because I was in retirement mode already and I knew what a slog it would be to recreate the atmosphere and working environment I'd had at Freshfields. I wanted to move on and I felt there were plenty other opportunities out there. I still feel that."
Admitting that he found the offer of the job at the Pru - which is a non-legal role - surprising, Bloxham adds that there are still many areas he is keen to apply his talents to.
"With the skills I have and the markets where they are, there would be plenty opportunities for consulting roles or non-executive director positions," he explains. "The pensions sector also interests me a lot. There's a lot happening there and there's a crossover between pensions and insolvency."
That said, Bloxham admits that it was a wrench to leave his partners - and friends - at Freshfields.
"Initially I felt quite lonely," he says. "Now I have a small team working with me and it's pleasant. It reminds me of the early days working for Freshfields."
For finance partner Ian Harvey-Samuel, whose career at Freshfields was considerably shorter than Bloxham's, the move out of the magic circle has also been a positive one. Having joined the firm's Singapore office from the local operation of fellow magic circler Allen & Overy, Harvey-Samuel spent a total of 13 years at Freshfields, nine of those as a partner.
However, for him the transition from Freshfields Singapore to Freshfields London was not entirely smooth running.
"When I became a partner in 1997 it was in a much smaller office where it was easier to get to know people," he says. "Coming back to the UK is challenging for any partner who's spent a significant amount of time in another office and, for me, was even more difficult as I wasn't a homegrown Freshfields partner.
"If you look around, there's a strong correlation between those magic circle partners who've worked outside the UK before returning to London and those partners who've moved to work in US firms' overseas offices in the UK."
He adds: "It was less difficult moving from Freshfields in London to Shearman & Sterling in London than from Freshfields in Singapore to Freshfields in London."
That said, his Shearman colleague corporate partner Lois Moore - speaking on behalf of herself and litigation partner Jo Rickard - says: "The cultural change between the magic circle and a US firm isn't as different as everyone makes it out to be."
For banking star David Ereira, who spent 17 years at Freshfields before joining Linklaters just over a year ago, life after Freshfields continues in the magic circle. This, he says, was a natural choice.
"I think it's unusual to move from one magic circle firm to another, but it's not unheard of," says Ereira. "There was a huge range of opportunities open to me out of law and in law and I had to give very careful consideration to what I wanted to do. I chose another magic circle firm because I felt it would be an interesting and satisfying challenge. So far, I've been right."
While having friends within Linklaters was an obvious attraction for Ereira, being able to reasonably gauge the firm's expectations all but sealed the deal for him.
"A lot of the time people move to firms and after they get there find out what the place they thought they were moving to may or may not be," he says. "I was able to estimate fairly early on what Linklaters was looking for."
Having begun his legal career at Wilde Sapte (now Denton Wilde Sapte) in the 1980s, Ereira has now been a partner in three different firms. He believes this level of mobility is a good thing both for partners and partnerships.
"It's good that people no longer spend their entire working life in one firm," he says. "I think it's unnatural, in a way, that people assume they have such a particularly narrow career path - particularly in the law.
"People that qualify as lawyers have tended to stay with one firm or move once. I think that's incredibly narrow - lawyers should be doing lots of different things in lots of different ways."
Arguably, it is possible to gain a wide variety of experiences within one firm, particularly as firms continue to expand geographically and hone their skills in a number of niche areas.
For Bloxham it was precisely this factor that kept his role at Freshfields interesting for 30 years. Having joined at a time when the firm was a generalist, a five-year stint in Paris saw Bloxham focus on banking then, when the economy stalled in the early 1990s, he turned his attentions to insolvency.
"The great privilege I had was that, while I was doing my job for a long time, it was always changing - either because I was doing something different or because each assignment was in a different sector or had its own unique problems to grapple with," he says.
However, from Harvey-Samuel's point of view, the sheer scale of the work carried out by the magic circle almost precludes its lawyers from experiencing much variety.
"The magic circle is so siloed that there are things you could do, but they're done by a different team so you don't get to do them," he explains. "People come here [Shearman] to work across a wider spectrum. There are less restrictions about the kind of work you can do without treading on people's toes."
As hackneyed as the expression may be, variety is, to a large extent, the spice of life. Breaking up a partnership relationship will never be an easy thing to do, but for the sake of individual professional development it could be essential.
As Ereira points out: "The moral of the story is that at any stage of your career, you are able to, if you want to, move on and do new things and take on new challenges. It's easy to fall into the trap of being comfortable and secure without challenging that. Actually, that's a recipe for disaster."
but can there be happiness after the magic circle? Ex-Freshfields partners believe there can

Our favorite #ShaycagoFire tweets from "Not like this"
It was the midseason finale and there sure was a lot going on at firehouse 51. There was the big problem of Viola Swamp trying to shut the place down and scatter our heroes to the four corners of Chicago. Throw in the possibility that Clarke is a murderer, that Dawson might want to be a firefighter and mix in a badass Isabella, and a cliffhanger about whether Casey is going to die, and it was a full night on Chicago Fire. Here are a few of our favorite tweets from last night.

Shay: "Your shirt's untucked." Not that I was looking at your ass or anything… #ChicagoFire #ShaycagoFire — Holly Parker (@pshayholly) December 11, 2013
@LaurenGerman Shay didn't even pretend she wasn't looking at Dawson's butt. Just pointed it right out. #ShaycagoFire — Jenny Rackham (@jenny_rackham) December 11, 2013
Yeah Dawson gonna look fine in those suspenders #shaycagofire — Meagan H (@NayaCutYoNails) December 11, 2013
McCloud's even wearing Slytherin green. #ShaycagoFire — Morena (@Morenadeca) December 11, 2013
Pretty sure I just heard @mena13suvari say she was going to "nail you so hard" to McLeod. #ShaycagoFire — Jenny Rackham (@jenny_rackham) December 11, 2013
*whispers* what happened to Dawson wanting to go to pre-med school #ShaycagoFire #ChicagoFire — Even (@2Even) December 11, 2013

Casey didn't like Hallie as a busy doc and now isn't happy w/ Dawson. I'm sensing a pattern. Time for Shay to make a move! #ShaycagoFire — Patty McDermott (@pmcdee1) December 11, 2013
Shay you were so looking at her ass! Er, I mean, at her untucked shirt… #Shaycagofire — Laura Guevara (@SilverTotem94) December 11, 2013
I love the dumbfounded look Boden has. He's like "I spent 10 weeks fighting this bitch and Mena Suvari does it in 5 minutes" #ShaycagoFire

House of Pisces. The piscean native knows how to muddy the waters and use subterfuge when under threat. The ability to blur the lines makes them hard to pin down in a fight and generally.
