Games Master UKDoesn't quite do enough to steal "Round 3's" crown, but takes it right down to the wire. [Aug 2008, p.78]
I've enjoyed Prize Fighter, because for the most part I found the story mode presentation to be a welcome addition to the game.
Don King Presents Prizefighter is a competent boxing game that is fun to play and which offers an entertaining career mode. That's all it is, however, and isn't really going to blow anyone away.
Prizefighter definitely has its frustrating moments, but there was enough fight in it – in and out of the ring – to keep me from needing the smelling salts.
Xbox World 360 Magazine UKEschews the pugilism of "Fight Night" for top arcadey street fighting. [Sept 2008, p.84]
Prizefighter is definitely a contender in the guilty-pleasure category: its story mode trumps the competition's, and though its fighting mechanics won't dethrone the current champ, they still pack a simple, straightforward wallop.
It represents the sport in a grittier light than the super-polished Fight Night series.
X-ONE Magazine UKDefinitely worth your time if your'e a boxing fan, but not quite the game to wrestle away "Fight Night's" crown. [Issue#35, p.96]
In my opinion, the only reason to buy this game is if you have played all the way through Fight Night and you're just itching for a new boxing title.
It's not a mind-blowing first go, but a new boxing franchise could find its way for fans; Venom will just have to refine the basics to make it a true challenger.
Prizefighter's production values are pretty high, but unfortunately the gameplay took a back seat and fails to capture the essence of boxing.
To some extent it suffers from selective authenticity. Ten two-minute rounds against a tough opponent can be tight, tense and technical, but the skills you're applying are arbitrary.
A solid game, but its career mode is flawed and the gameplay is a strange mix of complex controls and arcade-like knockdowns.
Don King's Prizefighter goes the same route as some of the promoter's bigger fights – it's too over-hyped for its own good.
The fact that Prizfighter doesn't break any new ground is forgivable, but botching the essential issue of hit detection is obviously a huge problem. Pugilistic devotees seeking the next fix will undoubtedly fight through the flaws, but frustration will likely be the knockout punch for the average gamer.
A flawed boxing game with excellent presentation and some features that should make the next Fight Night team stand up and take notice. I stop short of calling it a solid effort because of the actual boxing gameplay, but 2K definitely has something to build on in the future.
AceGamezAs the fight draws to a close, Prizefighter's poor early rounds have taken the wind out of its sails and the end result is inevitable.
Certainly, Prizefighter has some great points, but unless you are a major boxing fan, it's probably best to stick with - and still Heavyweight Champion of the World - Fight Night.
But in terms of filling more then just a void in the market, Prizefighter doesn't manage to live up to expectations.
Prizefighter's biggest mistake was trying to be a serious boxing sim. It's not. It couldn't be anything further from it unless its name was Facebreaker (zing!). Maybe if the game makers tried to make it a more splendiferous experience, then we'd think it lived up to Don King's moniker. Instead, it's a bad boxing game with some really nice extras added on.
I can see where 2K Sports was trying to go with Prizefighter, but in the end it just falls flat.
Unfortunately, if you are looking for a realistic boxing game, you aren't going to find it here.
The game is chock full of high production values, great graphics, and immersive audio. But a boxing game needs first rate controls to be successful, and it's here where the game gets knocked out like Mike Tyson in Tokyo.
Not even Don King's legendary hair and hype combo can cover-up Prizefighter's mediocrity. It's a case of all glitter and no glam thanks to awkward gameplay and controls.
If you have been waiting for the next level in boxing, Prizefighter isn't going to meet your expectations.
Complicated and unresponsive controls combined with uninteresting gameplay and a disjointed story keeps Prizefighter down for the count.
In the end, the positives surrounding the career mode of Prizefighter just aren't enough to make up for the numerous negatives in control, collision detection, and overall gameplay.
It's quite an enjoyable career for The Kid, but once that's done, that's practically the end of the game. Sure, you have the Exhibition mode, Training and Online, but there's nothing more to it.
Maxi Consolas (Portugal)It doesn't even measures to something called "Fight Night Round 3". It only makes us crave more action on the EA virtual square ring. The character editor is quite complete but, besides that, Prizefighter is quite disappointing. [Aug 2008]
It may be worth a one night rental, but if you buy it (as I did) you will be left needing a cutman after you bang your head up against the wall so many times.
The poorly constructed gameplay handcuffs the game from the word "go" and it never recovers. It's neither strategic or arcadey in nature and the animations are just plain ugly to watch.
Ultimately, though, its charms are outweighed by gameplay that lacks the tactics of the sweet science in real life. With better examples of video boxing on the market, Don King Presents: Prizefighter is a very tough sell.
The execution of the core gameplay is stopped before it can lift off with controls that are needlessly ill suited for the type of game this is.
Prizefighter lacks the necessary skill set to become the next great champ or even contender for that matter. If I had to compare it to a fighter it would be the 'Hurricane' Peter McNeely of video game boxing. It does everything right to sell the fight, it just can't execute anything resembling skillful boxing once it steps into the ring.
The so-so story mode is the game's highlight, and even that does little to shine up the lackluster boxing, poor graphics, and lack of any real replay value.
Prizefighter is a decent boxing game, packing a good number of fighters, nice production values and some interesting features on the campaign mode. On the other hand, it lacks quality on the fights, an important feature that would have been better with some work. In the end, Prizefighter is a game for enthusiasts, but it would have been better with some effort.
Unless you're a serious fan of boxing games seeking a fix while you wait for the next Fight Night game you may want to pass on this one.
But it could have been more interesting, had some more personality and been a little less of a headache to play.
The games not terrible, but it's not great. The most important element in a boxing sim, the tactics, combos, and impact, are watered down to a button mashing spit bucket.
Edge MagazineNevermind the sluggish movement, repetitive phrases from trainers, or ability to trap AI in combination patterns: at the most basic level, Prizefighter has suspicious collision detection and a great many gloves that clip through arms and heads. [Aug 2008, p.101]
The unfinished, unpolished story mode, the average graphics and worst of all the frustrating, annoying gameplay make me think the Quality Assurance team on the game must be either punch drunk or non-existent.
It's a shame that the actual boxing is so bad; with a little more time in development, Prizefighter could've been far more enjoyable. As it is, you'll need to take quite a few blows to the head to have much fun with this one.
All the money spent on royalties to have Don's name attached to it could have been put to better use.
Prizefighter turns out to be a big step in the wrong direction. Going back to button-presses to throw leather is like going back to coach after flying first class.

We meet much fighting games: Dead or Alive, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter; And all are better than this game. And we meet the principal box saga, Fight Night Round, a better box game.

Apr 8, 2014Prizefighter is a game that never stood a chance, you can't go against a juggernaut like Fight Night and then put little effort into yourPrizefighter is a game that never stood a chance, you can't go against a juggernaut like Fight Night and then put little effort into your fighter.
The boxing this time takes it back to the old school, where face buttons control your uppercuts, jabs and hay-makers, which I have always prefer-ed. But there is nothing behind those punches. Mash the buttons and your boxer will stick out his arms and it's touch and go whether or not the game recognizes them as a landed punch. They all look unconvincing due to poor animation but it's up to the A.I whether they make it to not.
Presentation has some potential, licensed music and fan fare makes you almost want to get pumped up for the fight if you didn't already know how things are going to turn out when the game-play kicks in.
The game's main focus seemed to be a well fleshed out fictional documentary piece about your created fighter, but when it gets down to it, it doesn't matter how man C-list celebrities they got to record footage, if there is no solid game-play there is no point.… Full Review »

Live long and prosper? Maybe not
Richard Weindruch is a professor of gerontology and geriatrics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who can tell you off the top of his head that a French woman by the name of Jeanne Calment lived the longest life of any known human, 122 years.
But, smart as he is, he can't tell you why she didn't live any longer. Or why other humans don't, either. Even people who completely sidestep disease eventually just check out - and why is a little bit of a mystery.
I called Weindruch because it seems like everybody in America is suddenly interested in how much we spend on health care. If we're not arguing about Obamacare, we're trying to figure out the intricacies of Medicare. I was all prepared to write that we'd better get a handle on it quickly because as people are living longer and longer and longer, they will demand more and more and more of the medicine and treatment that makes it all possible.
Except that Weindruch threw me a couple curves.
Turns out we might not be capable of ever living much longer than Calment. And people shouldn't assume that average life expectancy - which has skyrocketed from under 50 years in 1900 to almost 80 years today - will continue rising.
Weindruch says he once worked on a research project in which calorically restricted diets were used to help mice live as long as five years, twice what they normally do. They didn't die of illness or disease.
"We would autopsy the animals, and they would look great," he said. "The only problem was they died. We really didn't know what killed them." Whatever killed them, he said, was "way more subtle than we could pick up." In other words, they died of "old age, which is not a very acceptable label for people trying to really figure out what kills an organism."
There is, from his perspective, a similar mystery about what causes death among really old humans and how long they could theoretically live in the future.
Among experts, he says, there is a "wide spectrum of opinion" on that. "I would say the majority of people would say that large increases in the maximum life span of humans in the foreseeable century would be very unlikely, but there are those who have a very different opinion and think that sharp increases in life span will be attainable with new technology that is emerging."
Surely, though, I assumed, the life span of the average person - not the Calments of the world but you and me - will continue to increase.
Not necessarily.
"Five years ago I would have said I am very confident that would occur," he said. Now he worries about death in younger people due to the obesity epidemic and consequences of diabetes.
The dramatic increase in average life span, he says, "reflects improvements in disease prevention and health care that have occurred, at least to up this point." But, he adds, "God knows what is going to happen next."
Everyone is arguing right now over whether President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney will be more apt to put Granny in an early grave. But we should step back (if we can even get out of our Barcaloungers) and consider a bigger issue. We're the luckiest humans in history. Advances in medicine and nutrition give us decades longer than our ancestors. But that's not the only factor behind rising costs.
We're not just lucky. We're self-destructive. Almost 30% of us Cheeseheads are obese, and obesity in America shaves years off the average life span and costs untold billions of dollars every year. It could, Weindruch says, already be reversing the trend toward longer, average life spans.
Everybody wants to talk about how we're going to pay for the medical costs of older folks. It's not folks who want to live longer lives who are our biggest problem. It's those who seem to want to live shorter ones.

An out-of-network provider is one which has not contracted with your insurance company for reimbursement at a negotiated rate. Some health plans, like HMOs, do not reimburse out-of-network providers at all, which means that as the patient, you would be responsible for the full amount charged by your doctor. Other health plans offer coverage for out-of-network providers, but your patient responsibility would be higher than it would be if you were seeing an in-network provider.

Reasons for Choosing Out-of-Network Health Care

Although it may initially cost you more money, there may be times when you might find it necessary, or even advisable, to use an out-of-network provider.

Sometimes you have no choice, or it just makes sense to choose a non-network healthcare provider. Below is a list of the scenarios in which you may be automatically eligible for or you can appeal for in-network coverage:

Emergencies: In an urgent situation, you must seek the closest available help. Many plans make exceptions for out-of-network coverage during an emergency, according to the Health Rights Hotline. It's imperative that you or someone else contact your primary-care physician or your insurance company within 48 hours of your emergency treatment to improve your chances of getting coverage. If it's not truly an emergency, your visit will not be processed as in-network treatment; you should go to a covered provider instead.

 Specialized care: If you have a rare ailment for which no specialist is included in your plan, out-of-network care may be crucial.

 Changing providers would jeopardize your health: If you're in the middle of treatment for serious or end-of-life issues, and your provider leaves the network, it may be in your best interest to continue that care by going out of network. You can appeal for continued in-network coverage, if only for a period of time or a set number of visits.

 Out-of-town care: If you need medical care while away from home, you may have to go out of network, but some insurers will handle your visit to a non-participating provider as if it were in network. However, in-network providers may be available. If it's not an emergency, it's best to contact your insurer first to find out.

 Proximity issues: If you live in a rural area and there is no primary-care provider within a short drive or if you require a specialist and none is nearby, your continued health may depend upon using a non-participating doctor. In these cases, many companies will cover the cost at an in-network rate.

 Natural disasters: Floods, widespread fires, hurricanes, and tornadoes can destroy medical facilities and force people to evacuate to other areas in which they must seek health care. Sometimes, these patients may be eligible for in-network rates as part of a declaration of emergency by the state or federal government.

Manchester United have offered €12m to Roma for Italian international Daniele De Rossi, claims Sky Sport Italia.
De Rossi was thought to have been made available for transfer by the Giallorossi this summer, but that may no longer be the case.
After a summer in which the Italians have sold Marquinhos, Pablo Daniel Osvaldo and Erik Lamela, they are unlikely to let go of their Roman warrior with the transfer deadline now just days away.
De Rossi too, according to Sky, doesn't seem tempted by the idea of a move to Old Trafford.

I've switched from virgin mobile to straight talk and gotten a new phone.

Shelby Charger broken wastegate actuator
Figured out that my wastegate actuator on my Dodge Shelby Charger was broken which was why I was only stuck at 4psi, no matter what I set my Manual Boost Controller to.
This is a promotional/compilation video I shot and edited for the Shelby Dodge Auto Club covering the annual convention that took place in June.

Shoppers expect m-commerce, a Travelocity executive says at Internet Retailer's Mobile Commerce Forum.
Mobile shoppers are expected to spend $119 billion globally on goods and services in 2015, up from $12 billion in 2009, Will Pinnell, director of mobile commerce for Sabre Holdings, parent of online travel company Travelocity, told attendees today at Internet Retailer's Mobile Commerce Forum 2010. Consumers want to be able to shop via their phones, and that means companies need to develop a mobile strategy now, he said.
"Shopping is shifting," Pinnell said. "Direct mail programs and events aren't working as well as they used to and shoppers are becoming increasingly comfortable purchasing anything on their mobile phone. The next and current generation of shoppers will expect it."
And it's not just shopping via a mobile site or an app, Pinnell said. More than half of consumers in a survey spanning 11 countries used their phones for in-store activities such as comparison shopping and getting peer feedback, product information and coupons, Pinnell said. And, he said, text messaging is growing as well. U.S. mobile phones users now send more than 5 billion text messages per day, he said.
As mobile grows, new technologies such as Google Inc.' Android operating system and devices such as Apple Inc.'s iPad and other tablet computers, are creating both new opportunities and complexities for companies developing mobile programs.
"It used to be all about the iPhone, but Google is now shipping 160,000 Android devices daily," Pinnell told attendees. "And the iPad is changing the way we think about mobility, with 10 million devices expected to ship this year."
These developments enable retailers and other companies to leverage new mobile technologies—including identifying where a shopper is in order to provide location-based services, and caching data in a mobile browser, providing mobile web sites with more of the power of apps that can store web site data and present it quickly. That's good news because many consumers can't download apps—many employers and by government agencies prohibit employees from downloading anything to their phones. He also said companies should look to capitalize on other emerging mobile technologies, such as augmented reality—in which the capabilities of a mobile phone are used to enhance a presentation, such as using the camera to identify a consumer's location and then sending her a coupon to a nearby store—and mobile couponing in general.
Pinnell said leaders in mobile commerce will need to understand the complexity of the mobile marketplace, including the browsers consumers use and the technical environments for developing applications. He also suggested they should examine if and how customers are buying via a mobile phone and study the demographics of their mobile customers.
"Recognize different customers and the phones they carry to tailor products specifically to them," he said.
When it comes to research, don't rely on data from third parties. "Actually watch customers use your mobile applications," he said. He also suggested companies work to understand what kind of mobile communications customers want from a particular retailer or other business.
And lastly, he said, be ready to make the necessary investments to establish a footprint in mobile.

Theatre at the Crossroads of CultureBy: Patrice Pavis (author)eBook
£25.55 RRP £29.99 You save £4.44 (15%)Buy eBook
DescriptionWestern culture has a long and fraught history of cultural appropriation, a history that has particular resonance within performance practice. Patrice Pavis asks what is at stake politically and aesthetically when cultures meet at the crossroads of theatre.?
A series of major recent productions are analysed, including Peter Brook's Mahabharata, Cixous/Mnouchkine's Indiande, and Barba's Faust. These focus discussions on translation, appropriation, adaptation, cultural misunderstanding, and theatrical exploration. Never losing sight of the theatrical experience, Pavis confronts problems of colonialism, anthropology, and ethnography. This signals a radical movement away from the director and the word, towards the complex relationship between performance, performer, and spectator.
Despite the problematic politics of cultural exchange in the theatre, interculturalism is not a one-sided process. Using the metaphor of the hourglass to discuss the transfer between source and target culture, Pavis asks what happens when the hourglass is turned upside down, when the `foreign' culture speaks for itself.

I recently met really nice man. He is nearly perfect. He volunteers as a youth mentor in a program similar to Big Brothers/Big Sisters. He's always looking for ways to help people. He is involved in his career, but isn't a workaholic. He's one of the funniest people that I've ever met. It's like he's a saint who still likes a good dick joke. And then there is his dog.
He rescued his dog a couple of years ago, and the dog definitely came from an abusive situation. He's scrappy and adorable. But he's a biter. I've been warned not to let my hands get too close to him, and if I see teeth to move away. My guy has lost a fingernail to this dog's bite. This animal bites everyone. I can handle being in the same vicinity as the dog, and I know to keep my distance, but my boyfriend sleeps with him. Which means I'm expected to sleep with him too. The dog has been known to bite a sleeping person who nudges him wrong or gets too far into his space. Last night I couldn't sleep at all because I'm laying there terrified that I'm going to be hurt if I move wrong.
Is there a way to bring this up without hurting anyone's feelings. I am fully aware that I'm the guest in this situation. I don't want to displace the dog, but I don't want to sleep there if he's going to be sharing the bed.

There are three types of people that will view this movie;
1) Someone who is a die-hard fan of Gintama
2) The occasional viewer of Gintama
3) Someone who has never seen Gintama before
Because of these three categories, it makes reviewing very difficult, so I'll say this right now; if you are in either catergories 1 or 3, watch this! If you are in category 2, watch at your own accord.
The reason for this is simple, Gintama: The Movie is, in all honesty, a movie adaptation of the popular Benizakura Arc in the normal show. This movie is, in essence, a couple of episodes put together in a movie format...no ending songs in between, no recaps, no advert breaks...it is a movie after all. And that's the first thing I will praise!
The Benizakura Arc is my second favourite arc, not just in Gintama, but in my entire anime history! The fact that we get to watch this without having the annoying recaps at the beginning of a brand new episode, makes it all worthwhile. (Also, my favourite ever anime arc is another Gintama arc, the Shinsengumi Rebellion Arc, which is the defentition of brilliance and perfection).
As you can probably tell by now, I fall under the 1st category, but even so, there is some new content for people who watch the movie, as there are a couple of brand new scenes...scenes which were never in the anime! This alone made me buy this movie. Thankfully, in these new scenes, my favourite characters, (the Shinsengumi) who weren't present in the anime arc, get their own little scenes, which are awesome! And anyone that has seen this movie will tell you that, the scene after the first batch of ending credits, is one of the best scenes in Gintama history!
The story (yes, I'll finally explain it) is about Odd Jobs Gin, a mini company-for-hire consisting of members; Gintoki SAKATA, Kagura and Shinpachi SHIMURA. Gintoki is asked in a job to find a legendary sword, the Benizakura, whilst Kagura and Shinpachi are asked by Elizabeth (a weird alien-duck-man-directoroftheshow thing) to find their mutual friend Kotarou KATSURA, as he seems to have mysteriously dissappeared.
As you can expect, both their jobs end up leading back to the same place/person. An assassin from their past (a character that appeared a little while before the anime arc aired). This assassin is part of a group, lead by Gintoki and Katsura's old friend Shinsuke TAKASUGI (who is one of the best characters EVER!).
Another great thing about this movie, is it shows off everything that Gintama is known for; good story, emotional scenes, great fights and above all, the faboulous sense of humour! Let me tell you, the humour in Gintama is phenomenal, as anyone that is a fan of the show will say. Their ability to have an emotional scene and throw in some little reference to an anime, or make a joke about the way the movie is been directed, is very much the highlight of Gintama!
Overall, Gintama: The Movie is a movie I highly recommend watching if you fall into the first and third categories I mentioned at the beginning. If you are a die-hard fan, you will enjoy the new scenes and the joy of watching a great arc without any interruptions. If you are new to Gintama, this movie shows everything that Gintama is known for. If you don't enjoy this (not only do you have no soul, but) you won't enjoy the rest of Gintama as well.
If, however, you have seen this arc in the anime, but aren't a really big Gintama fan, then there isn't enough new content for me to recommend this. But, as I'll say again, you will have the pleasure of owning one of the best anime arcs for your viewing pleasure, at any time!
I, Mystotakun, take you, Gintama: The Movie, to be my favourite movie of all time! From this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, I will watch you, until death do us part!
I originally didn't want to watch it because it was basically the Benizakura Arc in the anime, but in movie form. I also, basically know what happens, so I figured that there wasn't really much of a point (guess I'm not that diehard of a Gintama fan...). But when I found out there was a dub, which I originally found as a clip on YouTube and thought was a Fandubbing, I was willing to give it a try just to see how the rest of the movie was dubbed and if it was real. I have to say, I am impressed that they got away with half of what they were saying and it was not that bad. Given that I usually lean towards Subs rather than Dubs.
Como bien se nota en el título, la primera película de Gintama no sería nada original, simplemente tomarían un arco ya animado (Uno de los mejores por cierto) y agregarían una mejor animación, escenas nuevas y redibujarían algunas escenas. ¿Cumplieron con ello? Pues ya lo veremos.
Esta película la puede ver cualquier persona, sea o no seguidor de la serie, claramente la película está enfocada para los aficionados de Gintama más que para el público en general, vamos al plot.
La historia empieza cuando unos hermanos herreros contactan al Yorozuya para que estos encuentren y traigan de vuelta una espada conocida como la benizakura, la cual según los creadores es una espada maldita, mientras tanto, Shinsuke Takasugi (Personaje introducido en el anime) estaría preparando un ataque terrorista con la idea de destruir completamente Edo. En todo este arroz con mango se verá mezclado también Katsura por lo que mientras Gintama investiga sobre la espada robada, Kagura y Shipachi se verán en una cruzada con la ayuda de Elizabeth para ajusticiar a Katsura.
Entremos en lo que los muchachos de Sunrise han hecho en esta adaptación. Primero hablar de la animación la cual es bastante atractiva propia de una película animada, esto si nos enfocamos en las escenas de acción y algunas otras pocas, los detalles aumentan considerablemente comparados con los del anime pero siguen siendo demasiado simplistas para una película, otro punto negativo es el oscurecimiento excesivo en múltiples escenas al inicio de la película, el cual destruye en muchos momentos completamente el cuadro y dificulta el enterarse claramente que está pasando en dicho momento. Las escenas extras que ha utilizado Sunrise son poquísimas, sin embargo las escenas que han redibujado son geniales, por ejemplo la última batalla de Katsura y Gintoki es simplemente ¡estupenda! Por mencionar una de las más destacadas. Sobre su soundtrack, este se mantiene normal sin mejoras ni regresiones, personajes e historia con mucha calidad, como ya lo habían hecho en el arco de la serie. Si sos muy fan de Gintama la película te va a gustar, si no lo sos y quieres ver de qué va esta estupenda serie también, no obstante siendo la película una reanimación casi exacta; cualquier persona que anteriormente haya visto el arco benizakura puede pasar completamente de ella.
Rather than focus on the original Japanese version of this movie, which is pretty much the same as this arc during the series, only worse, I decided to focus on the dubbed version. Keep that in mind, please.
If you have ever watched the anime of Gintama, you would probably think of it as something that really wouldn't work in a different language. While American reference comedies work in countries other than America, since most references are universally known for one reason or another, Gintama focuses mostly on referencing different anime/manga franchises, TV personalities, or voice talents that would go right over the heads of Westerners that aren't "In the know". Because of this, hearing that Gintama's movie was going to recieve an official dubbed release was, odd, to say the least. (My cries of WHAT?! Seemed to warrant a visit from the neighbours...)
And while, yes, the arc of the story that this movie covers is very light when it comes to references, but it still seems stange to me. Even without all of the reference comedy, Gintama in English will still be too esoteric to appeal to people who aren't already well invested in the series.
Story: 7
If you've seen Gintama, you already know the story in this arc. Sakata Gintoki, former rebel samurai, gone freelance for hire and his two young friends Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura were hired by sibling swordsmiths to try to find the extremly dangerous "Cherry Blossom" made by their late father. At the same time, numerous wandering samurai, or, "Ronin" have been reported dead on the news. This arc introduces new antagonists to the series, with Takagi Shinsuke and the rest of the Kiheitai. I enjoyed this arc immensely when I first saw it, and while the movie rushes through most of the details, it still serves as a good way to refresh one foggy-headed viewer's memory.
(Also, this one had some scenes that the original one didn't, though they're more... related to the fact that's it a movie, not related to the plot.)
Animation: 6
I really enjoy Sunrise's work on Gintama, and while this is simply a retelling film, you would expect more new than you really get animation-wise. The characters have always looked great, but the detail in backgrounds rarely goes beyond what you've already seen, and the very few redrawn scenes there are don't push push beyond, say, 2011 TV Gintama. Colours are nice and clear, and the action scenes are fluid, but nothing from this film really show that it had better production values than the TV series.
Sound: 6
Here's one area I feel conflicted with. I should hate the voices in this film. Some characters sound as though the voice actor behind them had no interest, some characters sound as though the dub company just kidnapped random people off of the street to voice certain roles, and some were just given the wrong voice. Even so, I can't say that I disliked the voices in this. It wasn't like Bible Black's "So bad it's amazing" voice talent, but the voices felt, to me, so right, yet so wrong. I don't think characters were miscast (In most cases), really, I just think any English voice would come across as being "Wrong" in this case. Chris Patton's Gintoki is strange, but not in a bad way, and most of the other characters are voiced in an unusual, but charming, way. A fair few swear words were poorly stuck in the script for good measure, which I found off-putting and I do recall a slight cringe here and there, but that's more due to the script, not the reading of it. (Though I didn't like the use of honorifics. I always hate that in English dubbed things.)
Characters: 7
I think the characters in Gintama are great, but none of them go through any real development throughout the course of this arc. A little bit of backstory is touched upon for Gintoki and some of the other samurai in the series, but most of the important details after the time this movie was set. The English script takes a few liberties when it comes to some of the dialogue, making some characters, more or less friendly or agressive. Still, most of the humour comes through unaffected.
Overall: 7
Overall, the movie is a mere re-telling film with little new, but a whole lot of same. But when I watched it in English, it felt very different. It felt... new. And that made it much better than watching the Japanese one. I have doubts that this would interest too many people to give the series a try based solely on this film, but I don't think that's the point. This feels like a "for the fans" sort of thing, and while I know for a fact that many fans of Gintama would pass this up simply because it's a re-telling of an arc, I would say anyone that likes Gintama should give this a try, especially if you're already planning on watching this movie anyway, but are putting it off (Much like I was), simply because it's a re-teling, then watch the dub. It's pretty hip, I daresay.

Sale of goods via the Internet is now widespread: it is convenient for both buyers and sellers, and also allows you to save money on renting commercial space.
But that business prospered, it is important to choose the right products for sale.
Common goods for sale via the Internet
In stores that sell online, convenientsell products that a person does not have to see before buying, in reality, rather than on the screen. For example, you can offer so plastic windows, parts for cars and even flowers. Shoppers already know well, it looks like a particular product, so it is easier to decide on the registration of the order.
In the same way, you can sell popular products: such as electronic gadgets.
Nevertheless, the online store can sellEven items such as shoes, clothes, accessories, jewelry. This is a very profitable business, because often people just do not have the time or desire to go to dozens of shops in search of the best things. However, if you prefer this option, make sure the correct registration of photos, detailed description of goods, convenient dimensional grid. It is also recommended to take into account the risk associated with not returning the approaching things. In this case, it is much higher than that of the sale, such as auto parts.
A good option could be to tradeelectronics and home appliances through the Internet. Such goods are always in high demand, and people feel free to order them online, because online shops offer products well-known manufacturers at competitive prices.
Difficult, but current options
In most cases, online shoppingIt specializes in selling things no expiration date. However, you can also try to sell products. Trade in products with convenient delivery will be a wonderful option for people who find it difficult to go for a meal, including young mothers sitting with the baby. Save time and money there. Please note only that the goods must always be fresh and, therefore, need to decide in advance the question of storage and delivery.
Consider also the option of selling pet food: as a rule, their shelf life is greater than that of most products for people.
Through the Internet, you can sell and furniture. As a rule, we are talking about massive objects, so it is important to consider the options and shipping costs, especially if you plan to sell not only in the city. Sale of furniture via the Internet is relevant, but also complex. The problem is finding suppliers, ready at any moment to ship the goods, or to rent a warehouse large area where to put the entire vast range of products, including upholstered furniture with dozens of upholstery options.
Finally, a lucrative but more complexoption is to sell high-priced items such as hot tubs, trendy fireplaces, antiques. They can be a lot of money on the condition that you will find his audience.

MHD Sport 2.0 Wi-Fi® Action Camera + Live View RF Wrist Remote
One day you're at 5000 feet, skiing down a black diamond trail, and the next you're 100 feet below the waves, surrounded by sea life. When you live an active life it is easy for everything to blur together. Keep your memories sharply in focus by recording your activities with this MHD Sport 2.0 Wi-Fi® Action Camera from Monoprice!
This compact camera is designed for the active sports enthusiast. When properly enclosed in the included waterproof case, it is waterproof to depths up to 196 feet (60 meters) for up to 60 minutes duration. It features a Wi-Fi connection, which allows you to view and record videos and photos on your Android™ or iOS® smartphone.
This camera allows you to capture full HD 1080p video at 60 fps, 720p video at 120 fps, and WVGA (848x480) video at 240 fps. It can also be used to take still images up to 16 megapixels in size. In addition to video recording it is a 16 megapixel digital camera with the ability to take individual still shots, take a burst of 7 shots in rapid succession, or continuously taking single shots at intervals from 1 ~ 60 seconds for classic time-lapse videos.
Included with this model is an RF Wrist Remote, which allows you to control and view the live video feeds for up to six cameras. An individual camera without the Wrist Remote is available as PID 12571, so you don't have to pay for redundant remotes for your multi-camera operation. So, for example, you could have multiple cameras mounted in different locations on a race car and control them all with the single remote. The Wrist Remote also serves as a multi-function time piece, giving it additional utility value beyond use with the camera.
The camera comes with a variety of mounting accessories, which allow you to mount it to a flat surface, a curved surface, or strapped to a fixed point. Additional accessories, including chest and head mounting straps, are sold separately.

This package (12570) includes "standard tripod adapter". As long as the monopod you find uses the standard tripod screw size it will be compatible. Most of the tripods and monopods on Monoprice should be compatible with this adapter. Look for 1/4" thread on the mount (1/4" is the standard size for consumer cameras.) part 10264 is an example of a compatible monopod.

The place where my buddy's GoPro killed the Action Cam was the red filter. As you go deeper under water, red disappears from the color spectrum faster than green and blue. Your eyes naturally adjust but cameras don't. My videos are very green - little color and the things I was seeing all blend together as a result. My buddy had a snap on red filter that fit over his camera case. His videos have close to natural color at depth and as a result, are much more interesting than mine. Monoprice, please introduce a red filter!
PROS: Good image quality
Range of mounts available
Dive case works well - no leaks
CONS: RF live preview remote doesn't work under water
No red filter available for making color look natural under water - this omission is a huge issue for divers
Maxes out at 32 GB microSD card - large cards are cheap today I had to specifically buy a smaller card to work with it

***Hint:*** I have not seen this in the Manual, perhaps they can add it.
you can record videos using your computer. Just connect to the cameras WiFi like you would on a smartphone. Then you have to get the IP address, I believe mine was 192.168.42.1. Put that into your browser while connected wirelessly to the camera. It'll bring up an Ambarella webpage which gives you the ability to look at pictures and live stream from the camera.
DCIM - lists all the pictures
Html - unknown at the moment
live - live stream from the camera. Choose "mjpg over http" , unless your browser supports RTSP
mjpg - to access the live stream once connected (no controls on this page)
pref - just shows the config file, I wouldn't mess with it.
shutter - view pictures that have been captured through the webpage interface.
I came across this when messing with the WiFi address. Hope this information is helpful to you.
PROS: Low price, decent quality video, great pictures.
LiveRF watch that I haven't seen the competitors release.
Replacement batteries are pretty cheap. With a few mods you can use GoPro equipment with this.
It's Monoprice branded, haven't had a problem with them to date.
CONS: Battery life sucks, only 30 minutes @ 1080p 30fps with original battery. ( I leave it plugged when recording at home)
The pain in the arse proprietary cable for the LiveRF watch.
The external Mic port hasn't worked.(not sure if it's my mic or the cable itself)
Doesn't have the best picture in low lighting.

Just got home from my 3 weeks vacation, I bought this to record all my adventures but this product failed & went defective. Tested it & was working before I left but did not work properly & died after few recordings when I was hiking. Tried to charge it but after few seconds of recording it died again. Tried charging again but wont work, tried everything to make it work but this product is defective. Sometimes I need to remove the battery for few minutes so it will recharge but after few minutes the blinking red light will stop. I was not able to capture all the amazing things we did in this trip out of the country. Overall this product is a disaster to my 3 weeks vacation to japan, taiwan, palawan philippines and many more places. If I rate this product I give it 0/10. Very disappointed!!! I should have bought the famous brand which every one is using mostly on all the adventures we did like snorkling. I need to return this product.

This little sport camera is great for capturing all those moments where a regular camera won't cut it. Perfect for your personal sporting and outdoor leisure activities, vacations, theme parks, rides, swimming, etc. You could even mount it in your car or on your bike.
The video and picture quality is quite good, well suited for it's intended use. Monoprice has done a good job offering up a great little affordable action camera, especailly considering what's all induced. The protective housing, plenty of mounting hardware, and the included RF wrist remote. This easily put's the MHD 2.0 well within reach of the cost conscious consumer in the market for an action camera.
I can go on and on about the camera, but since this is a video camera, what better way to show it off than to share one of our videos we recorded with it? My wife had the great idea to test the camera out on a roller coaster, so that's what we did. This is my daughter and I riding in the front seat of that coaster. The operators were kind enough to let me take the camera on with me and record the ride. What you're going to see is me holding the camera, with it strapped in my hand, in it's waterproof case. The video was recorded at 8:00PM on a cloudy day.
Being an old coaster, it's bumpy, so be prepared for some camera shake.
The raw video quality is very good. I recorded this one on the camera's default 1080P 60FPS setting. You may see compression or rendering artifacts on YouTube, but rest assured they are not present on the raw video.
For it's price point, it offers great quality video and pictures, and is a great inexpensive alternative to a GoPro for novice or entry level action camera users. For those of us who may not be into extreme sports, but would still love to have one to capture those special moments when we're having fun!
A huge thanks to Monoprice for supplying us with this great camera for review. It's going to get a lot of use and I highly recommend it!
PROS: Small, lightweight, quality construction.
Waterproof housing works wonderfully. The housing back can be switched out with a vented version for use outside of the water, but still keeping the camera safe.
RF Wrist Remote works well, easy to use. You can use it to line up shots, and remotely control the camera's picture and video taking.
Plenty of mounting hardware to fit most needs out of the box. Can be comfortably worn on the head with the included strap.
External mic port is a nice addition, as is using the mini HDMI to connect the camera to your TV.
Can be charged using the included wall charger, a PC, or even a portable power bank.
A decent number of features and settings for it's price point.
Wi-Fi ActionCam! Android app works well and is very simple and easy to use. The app was tested and working on Android versions 4.1.1 and 4.4.2, Jelly Bean and Key Lime Pie, on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and Tab 3. You can use it to line up shots and remotely control the photo and video taking, just like the RF Wrist Remote. However, you can also use it to view and delete media on the camera.
Easy to learn, even for a "action camera" novice.
CONS: If you're unfamiliar with this style of camera, they are not really intended to be used like a traditional point and shoot camera. They are quite a bit smaller, designed to be more rugged, and for getting shots in environments or situations where normal cameras fear to tread. While you can use them for traditional photos and everyday video, that's not really what they are made for. They are designed for outdoor activity.
The screen on the RF wrist watch can be difficult to see in bright direct sunlight, but you can still see it. The OLED screen on the camera itself however can be seen pretty easily in any light condition.
When wearing the camera, if you wear glasses, be sure to not let it touch your glasses. Movement can cause the camera case and your glasses to bump off each other, making a "tapping" sound that is very loud on video. Easy solution, don't let them touch.
The built in mic works well, but can be "muffled" when the camera is inside it's protective case. When you're not expecting to use the camera in a wet environment, you can help alleviate the muffling by using the included vented backplate on the protective housing.
Lastly, make sure you download the correct ActionCam! app from the app store. There are other apps with similar names, look for the one with the exclamation point at the end.

PROS: Great clear video on sunny days, pictures taken of sunset are gorgeous! I have it mounted on my kayak and it's recorded many videos. Whether it's fishing, riding my motorcycle or road bike it is a great little camera. Small enough to put in your pocket.

Monoprice sent me this unit free of charge to provide honest, consumer feedback review. I was excited to receive it, since I was in the market for a 1080P 60FPS small camera. I do a lot of product review and personal shooting, so this would be great for that. While I'm not "outdoor action" type of person (long gave up my race cars) I saw a lot of other potential uses for this camera, especially based on It's compact size.
Packaging -
Straight forward in design, the unit came out of the box easily enough, once you figure out the release mechanism. Its labeled with many of the features of the unit around the box itself. It also includes all kinds of various adapters, depending on your intended application. It also has a tiny but very usable manual, so do take the time to read it thoroughly.
The Wristband.
I have very large wrists. Most bands on watches don't fit me. Especially the new "wearables" in today's market. Thankfully the watch fit on my wrist on the very last hole, and has lots of adjustment for smaller wrists. After reading the manual and figuring out how to use it, I put it through it's paces.
Controls - Activating the camera shutter and video recording worked flawlessly. Simply press the appropriate button and the camera will respond. An absolute necessity is to increase the default time out of the screen. It shuts down fast and makes it difficult to really do anything. Doubling the default close out time would be a good touch from the factory but is easily adjustable to alter to desired stay on time.
Charging - The wrist unit did required about the rated 2 HR recharge time when necessary to do so. The flap for charging was a little different than what I had expected, but once figured out, worked as intended. I did have to do a double take to make sure the charger was connected properly though. On live view, I really only saw about an hour worth of battery time, the specs claim 1.5. Not really any sort of deal breaker but something to keep in mind as this time will vary based on your settings
Live View - On a tiny 1.3" OLED it can be hard to see if you have eyesight issues or trying to look at it in direct sunlight. The quality is not very crisp, but you can see enough of the image to make out where the camera is positioned at least. This is a neat feature, but in my common applications a rear view screen, or if the Action Cam APP for Android had worked on my Note 3.0 with Android 5.01, i would have preffered it better. ( They are apparently working on it to be compatible with Android 5.0+)
Functions - The wristband functions as a watch, stopwatch, timer, alarm clock & shutter timer. As a watch, you'll be looking to charge it nightly if using infrequently or more often if used a lot.
The Action Camera.
This camera is definitely tiny. If you have big hands like I do, be prepared to fumble with it some. I can't remember how many times I almost ( or did ) drop it. I can tell you from those experiences, it is a very sturdy little piece of tech. I've never owned a camera like this, so it's actually pretty impressive what this tiny package can do.
Function - Spend some time reading the manual to understand how it works. It is pretty much intuitive if just hit buttons, but you'll miss some cool features. I only tested in 140 degree angle mode and 1080P @ 60Hz and 16MP camera shots. It's my primary choice of shoot , so I didn't feel the need to test any other settings. Right off the bat I can honestly say I'm not sure I'm a fan of the "fish eye" effect from the cam. After some research though, I see that this is the norm for "sports" type cams. I prefer a more linear image personally. The interesting fact though is, how much you can get in your shot with this type of angle.
Cases/Accessories - The included waterproof/shock case keeps the camera well protected. I have yet to test the underwater aspect, but I will be soon and will update this review at that time. One thing that is for certain, the case is sealed pretty tight and the unlock mechanism is a little tricky to get used to at first. It requires sliding a lock clip and lifting a lock arm. Hard to do one handed if you have big hands. It comes with a lot of different adapters, depending on your use. My most important one was the base that allowed you to screw a tripod clip to it. Your use will vary.
Mic - The mic is just ok if you're up close to someone speaking and if the camera is NOT in the waterproof case. If it is enclosed, the sound almost inaudible as the waterproof case does a good job of sealing it tight. If using outside the case, I'd still recommend an external mic if good audio is imperative in your filming.
Video - The unit's battery will roughly shoot it's advertised time at 1080/60FPS. I saw about 100 minutes if I turned off the LED lights off in the settings. That translates in over 8GB of footage per charge. I recorded an approximate 2.5 hours to recharge on a 2.0 Amp source ( Pid 13085 8000mAh Power Bank to be exact). More than enough time for the "action" enthusiast I would think, but not for someone who is after all day recording. Be sure to have spare & extended batteries on hand, if this is the case.
The quality of the video really depends on your lighting ( as is almost always the case) Bright outside light provided rich tones, though red heavy and a clear recording to my eye ( I'm in no way a professional videographer or photographer) Lower light cause the picture to develop some grain to it and a yellow tinge. Night recording was actually artificially brighter than what was actually happening at the time of shoot. What action I did catch, did appear to be smooth and stutter free.
Photo - All the modes offered worked as indicated and the camera offers a 16MP camera built in and the quality of the shots were good and very similar in characteristics as to what was described in the video section. The 7 burst shot mode was a neat feature to play with.
Just a note, the camera is recommended to be used with a Class 6 MCSD card or better up to 32 GB. I actually shot all my stuff on a Class 2 16GB card. I will be getting a class 10 card and if the quality is better I will revise and edit this review to highlight that fact.
The only thing that concerned me about this unit was how hot it got during recording and recharge. I'm sure if this is normal or not, but it did feel very warm to the touch after a 90 minute non stop recording session. The heat was centric to the Micro SD card area of the camera. The charging wasn't as hot, but still was warmer than I thought it should be.
Overall the camera itself would get a top score, but I have to knock it one for the extras. The slowish refresh and poor screen quality of the wristband knock it a half a point, the lack of a working APP for my smartphone ticked it another half off. If those two things aren't important to you, then this is you go to camera for all your action capture. It's extremely durable and provides great quality footage for it's price. Highly recommended and look forward to using it for POV footage on my PC builds via head strap.
Just want to note, though this unit was provided free in exchange for review, I felt it worth of purchasing a bunch of extras for it from Monoprice as i will be now using this camera on a daily basis.
Hope this review was helpful to you, and thanks for taking the time to read it. Remember...I'm review this outside of it's intended purpose, and it does a good job in my eyes.

A lot of days I go racing and actually don't bother even setting up my action cameras because it is a pain to run around and turn their recording on and off constantly throughout the day. This system with the watch made everything easy, especially with it being able to sync and record with six cameras at once.
More detail:
I compete in motorsports and action cameras are a standard for filming inside and outside of the car while on track. I have been using action cameras for a number of years and have seen the good and the bad from different systems. What drew me in to try this action camera was the watch control that would allow you to start and stop recording with the press of a button on the watch. Often times I don't have time to run around my car and make sure my cameras are positioned correctly and recording before going out on track.
With this system I was able to check the views of four cameras and turn them on in sync directly from the watch. Is the view on the watch amazing? No, but for making sure your camera is pointed exactly where you want it, it does the job great. Being able to control the cameras recording and check the views from the watch allowed me to go out and race without having to worry whether or not I was going to have decent video footage from the event. The fact that I can control up to six cameras would let me have views from multiple angles to make sure I am rotating the car through each corner as best as possible.
My current video setup includes two cameras from another action camera company, but after having the chance to test this system I will be switching. I would highly recommend this system for anyone looking for an action camera. The quality is on par with other action cameras and the watch system gives you a level of flexibility not available elsewhere.
PROS: -Great Price.
-Lots of mounting and case accessories included.
-Did not have heat issues being in sunlight all day.
-Durable product.
-Clear picture with great quality Lots of Frames per Second and aspect ratio options to work with.
-Camera and watch charge quickly.
CONS: -It would be nice to be able to turn the camera's power completely on/off with the watch.
-It would be nice to have a case accessory that would allow for charging the camera while using it.
-It would be nice to have microphone upgrade accessories.

PROS: Easy to use. Well built, solid. Great value, particularly with the live view watch. Video quality excellent. Manual is well written
CONS: Non-standard (read: not GoPro) mounting, forcing you to buy an adapter, and also forcing you to keep both Monoprice and GoPro mounts with you for various situations. How about just redesign your mount to be compatible out of the box??? If the mounts are to remain proprietary, then more "flavors" (options) are necessary. It's the reason for one point off the rating. The other point off is due to the smartphone app for Android 5, or lack thereof.

Please make a selection.
I enjoy people, and especially people who live in Allen! Allen has great citizens who want to live in a city that values a true quality of life. The excellent quality growth in Allen was not an accident. When I was first elected, our tax rate was high due to our small commercial property base. My focus then and now has been to bring quality commercial projects that will lower the tax rates for homeowners. We have grown from a bedroom community to a city with over $8 Billion in property values! And, the property tax rate has been lowered eighteen consecutive years! I also enjoy seeing government run like a good business. Government should provide quality services at a reasonable tax rate, and it's always gratifying when the City Council, city staff and most important, our citizens, work together to make that happen. Our city has been recognized recently throughout the U.S. as a Best Neighborhood in the Metroplex; we ranked 16th in Money Magazine's Best Places to Live; we ranked 9th in Forbe's Best Places to Move; and we are listed as the 9th Safest City in the U.S. for the second consecutive year. These recognitions are a direct result of the efforts of Allen citizens to make Allen a great place to live and work.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Fair Use and Intellectual Property: Defending the Balance
On Saturday October 1st, eight countries (the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea) signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) in Tokyo, Japan. Three of the participating countries (the European Union, Mexico, and Switzerland) have not yet signed the treaty, but have issued a joint statement affirming their intentions to sign it "as soon as practicable." ACTA will remain open for signature until May 2013. While the treaty's title might suggest that it deals only with counterfeit physical goods such as medicines, it is in fact far broader in scope.
Safeconnect, Universities, P2P, Network Security and Risk: The Tangled World of "Policy Enforcement" on Other People's Computers
After months of work, and spurred by an initial report by Professor Ted Byfield of New School University's Parsons New School for Design, we're happy to report a security vulnerability fix in a product called Safe•Connect.
In a disappointing ruling, the First Circuit Court of Appeals today overturned a decision by a federal district court that had downsized damages in Sony v. Tenenbaum, a file-sharing case in which a jury originally ordered a college student to pay $675,000 for infringing copyrights in 30 songs. District court Judge Nancy Gertner had found the award so "oppressive" as to be unconstitutional, and reduced it to $67,500. The appellate court did not expressly disagree on the constitutional question but found the court should not have considered the issue.

Copyright troll Righthaven's flawed business model—suing hundreds of bloggers and small websites for dubious cases of alleged copyright infringement of newspaper articles—appears to be grinding to an inexorable finish.
