Passage to the Future: Art from a New Generation in Japan
The UNLV College of Fine Arts and the Marjorie Barrick Museum are proud to join The Japan Foundation, the Japan America Society of Nevada and the Office of the Honorary Consulate of Japan in the Southwestern debut of this
internationally touring exhibition.
Featuring forty-two works from eleven Japanese artists, some internationally known, some relatively obscure, "Passage to the Future" is a concise yet broad-ranging display of contemporary Japanese art -- a showcase of
sculpture, photography, filmmaking, painting, ceramic ware, and installation work. Yoshihiro Suda carves a single tiny petal out of wood. Miyuki Yokomizo constructs a room of soap bars big enough to walk in. Tetsuya Nakamura's
lacquerwork is sleekly perfect. Tomoyasu Murata's animation is handmade and nostalgic. "Passage to the Future" offers visitors an up-to-date glimpse into the variety of current Japanese artistic practice.
Artists: Atsushi Fukui, Satoshi Hirose, Maywa Denki, Tomoyasu Murata, Tetsuya Nakamura, Masafumi Sanai, Katsuhiro Saiki, Yoshihiro Suda, Tabaimo, Nobuyuki Takahashi, Miyuki Yokomizo

Tony Blair is at Yale today, beginning his "faith and globalisation" course, the latest part of his campaign to (as Private Eye has it) Draw All Faiths Together (DAFT). He seems, if nothing else, to have caught the zeitgeist. Even in secular Britain, the profile of religion is higher than it has been for decades. Who'd have thought that the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species would see a row about creationism?
In preparation for the advent of the Great Tony, Yale students were treated last week to a talk by Walter Russell Mead, who hold the exalted position of Henry Kissinger fellow in US foreign policy and international studies. Mead spoke of the current global situation as embodying the "triumph of Abraham". He argued,
The Abrahamic world is more ideological, universal, and has given rise to more quarrels over religion than any other faith. And as ideas about ideology become more influential, we see an increase in ideological and religious conflicts.
Mead also predicts that US-style religous entrepreneurialism will spread and that the "world will soon be soon be filled with television preachers". Yikes.
Among Mead's explanations for the modern resurgence in "faith" is the increase in literacy in the third world. In countries emerging from poverty and ignorance, he said, the Koran or the Bible was the first, and sometimes only, text taught. I find that quite convincing: after all, it was the invention of printing that made possible the Reformation in Europe, and the Reformation, in turn, led to almost two centuries of brutal religious wars. It's not a happy thought. Blair, however, still seems convinced that religion is uniquely capable of overcoming ancient hatreds and getting everyone to sit around together singing Kum Bah Yah.
Tony's Yale gig comes at the same time as a fascinating report on global religious attitudes is published by the fortuitously-named Pew Research Foundation, an American body specialising in wide-ranging cross-cultural surveys. Among its findings was confirmation of the widely-held ideas that women are more religious than men, older people more religious than younger, and people in poorer countries much more religious than those in richer, more developed ones. With one predictable exception, the USA.
In terms of religiosity, indeed, the US was closest to its Latin American neighbours and to India, with over 80% declaring themselves religious. But even American godfearing paled by comparison with the almost universal observance reported in Muslim countries. In Indonesia and Pakistan, 95% of those questioned said that they were "very religious". Only 55% of Americans were equally devout.
At the other end of the scale came Western Europe (especially France and Britain), Australia, and East Asia. The Japanese, indeed, are almost as irreligious as the French. They are also, it occurs to me, the two countries in the survey with the fastest and best-developed train and broadband networks. Coincidence?
The report also covered - and foregrounded - the prevalence of religiously-based hatred. With typically parochial self-laceration, the Guardian chose to lead its coverage - indeed, virtually confine its coverage - to the news that prejudice against both Muslims and Jews (but especially against Jews) was growing in continental Europe. That was not, in fact, the case in either Britain or the US (something the commentary seemed oddly unwilling to celebrate). To be fair, the same findings were stressed in the preamble to the report itself. The discovery also gave an opening for a typical piece of special pleading by Inayat Bunglawala, who chose to blame "regular and quite deliberate attempts on the part of some of our national newspapers to incite anti-Muslim prejudice." The hand-wringing Rabbi Jonathan Romain, meanwhile, took the opportunity to demand "zero tolerance and cracking down on even mild prejudice, be it in the classroom, office or on the street."
Reading through the report, however, what I found most striking had little to do with Islamophobia in continental Europe. What it actually laid bare was an extraordinary, worldwide, and apparently growing hostility towards the Jews.
In Turkey, for example, 76% of those questioned were willing to admit anti-Jewish sentiment: up more than 50% since the last time. In other Muslim countries, already strong antisemitism persisted. It was 95% in Egypt, 96% in Jordan, 76% in Pakistan, 66% in Indonesia. In Lebanon, which is religiously mixed, Jew-hatred reached 97%: presumably that means that Christian and Muslim Lebanese are equally bigoted. In general, levels of anti-Jewish sentiment were lowest in the English-speaking countries and, after that, in Western Europe (except, for some reason, Spain, where anti-Jewish sentiment has rocketed in the past year to an extraordinary 46%).
Interestingly, in Muslim countries the level of hostility towards Jews was strongly correlated with two other factors: religiosity, and enthusiasm for Saudi Arabia. Egypt, Jordan and Pakistan all scored unusually highly for all three.
Negative feelings about Jews also existed at a fairly high level in non-Islamic countries in Asia, South America and Africa, averaging around 40%. It was particularly marked in China, with about 55% anti-Jewish (though, to be fair, the Chinese were equally unimpressed with Muslims and Christians). In China, Japan and Korea, a few expatriate bankers aside, there are no Jews, so it's unclear why they should inspire such hostility. Poland and Russia were next: around a third expressing such sentiments. In France, a figure of 20% hostile to Jews might seem alarming; yet almost 80% of French expressed the opposite feeling, the highest level of philo-semitism in the world. Only in the three English-speaking countries of the USA, Britain and Australia were anti-Jewish sentiments below 10%; in all three countries, pro-Jewish feelings were above 70%.
The report claims that there is a strong correlation, in continental Europe, between anti-semitism and hostility towards Muslims, which tends to be even higher but is exhibited by similar sorts of people (the old, the ill-educated). Yet there were other correlations, too. In secular Asian countries (China, Japan and Korea) negative feelings about Jews existed alongside similar feelings about both Christians and Muslims. The latter reached 61% in Japan. Perhaps the Japanese just despise foreigners. In Pakistan and Turkey, anti-Jewish sentiment went together with anti-Christian sentiment. In other parts of the Muslim world, however, there was much less hostility towards Christians. In Egypt 46% were anti-Christian, but 52% were positive. In Jordan the anti-Christian figure was just 23%.
The following, then, might be taken as approximately (very approximately) the current state of inter-religious loathing:
Americans, Australians, British and French: like Christians and Jews, don't have much problem with Muslims.
Germans, Russians and Poles: Not so keen on Jews and Muslims; quite like Christians.
Spanish and Mexicans: Don't like Muslims or Jews; growing numbers also dislike Christians
South Americans: don't like Muslims or Jews
Africans: love Christians and Muslims; don't like Jews
Muslims: hate or don't mind Christians; really hate Jews.
Indians and Pakistanis: dislike Christians and Jews. Many Indians don't like Muslims much, either; Pakistani views of Hindus not canvassed, but unlikely to be positive.
East Asians: don't like Christians; hate Muslims; also hate Jews.
Or, as Tom Lehrer put it more than 40 years ago:
Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.
The Protestant/Catholic enmity seems a bit old-fashioned nowadays, but otherwise little has changed.
Something for Tony Blair to consider as he embarks on the next stage in his attempt to persuade the world that faith is a force for tolerance and harmony in the world.

BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados women's basketball (7-18, 6-15 SAC) team split their season series with Mars Hill (8-17, 7-14 SAC) after falling 78-75 on Wednesday night in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Chelsea Turner tied the Brevard College single-season record for three-point field goals with five threes on the evening, hitting her 49th of the season with 1:30 left in the game to tie the record set by Holli Flippo (2008-2009 and 2009-2010). The freshman finished with 15 points, and is currently ranked second in the SAC with 45 three-pointers in league play.
Brevard was led in scoring by Shelby Wolfe's 20 points while teammate Madison Lenox added 15 points.
Mars Hill went on a five-point run to begin the second half to take an 11-point lead over the Tornados. The Lions Autumn Ward put up a three-point shot at the 8:23 mark that Tornados Hadara Bannister rebounded and passed up to Shelby Wolfe for the jumper. BC came within one point after the play only to have Mars Hill's Paige Chavis answer with three points.
The Lions led Brevard by six points with 25 seconds remaining in the game after Ansley Ricker made both baskets while visiting the free throw line. Brevard was unable to cut their deficit for the win.
Brevard will celebrate their seniors during their last regular season and conference home game against Wingate on Saturday, March 1. Tip-off will take place at 2:00 p.m. at Boshamer Gymnasium.

With great new features like two video cameras, a faster processor and a Retina display, the new iPad is the world's best tablet device.
It's also fully capable of running the latest version of Apple's iOS operating system and great apps like iMovie and GarageBand.
Here we present 50 really useful iPad tips. We cover everything from customising your Home screen through to getting more from built-in apps like Mail and Safari.
The vast majority of these tips will also work on the original iPad and iPad 2, so owners of any generation of iPad shouldn't feel neglected.
For 50 more iPad tips, check out a new iPad app called 100 Tricks & Tips for iPad 2, brought to you by our colleagues on MacFormat.
1. Create folders
iOS now supports folders. To create a folder all you need to do is tap and hold on an app until they all start to jiggle, then drag the app over another icon and release.
Your iPad will create a folder with both the apps in. The folder will be named according to the category of the apps it contains, but you can rename it as you like.
2. Access all running apps
Double-clicking the Home button shows you all the apps that are running on your iPad in a bar along the bottom of the screen. To switch to a running app just tap on it here in this bar. Just swipe the screen downwards to remove this bar.
3. Orientation Lock or Mute?
The internet got mightily upset when Orientation Lock was replaced with Mute on the iPad during the last iOS update. Apple listened, and now you can head to Settings > General to choose between Lock Rotation and Mute.
4. Passcode Denied… DELETE ALL!
If you're carrying around sensitive data, you can now enable a feature that'll erase all the data on the device if someone inputs the incorrect passcode 10 times. Navigate to Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data.
5. Home Sharing
First, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes (Advanced menu) and on your iPad (Settings > Music/Video and enter your Apple ID). Next, launch the Music or Video app on your iPad. In the Music app, tap the "More" button at the bottom, find the little house with "Shared" next to it. Tap on that and then on one of the Shared Libraries. It might take a few seconds to update, but then you can listen to all of that Library's media on your iPad. For video, tap the Shared tab at the top of the screen.
6. Control iPad notifications
By going to Settings > Notifications, you can decide which apps can pop up alerts, which have notifications at the top of the screen, and which appear in Notification Center. This means you can make sure that noisy apps don't clog things up for you, and you notice the important things.
7. Go VPN
The iPad supports a VPN connection. To configure it, go to Settings, then General > Network. Select the VPN and move the slider to On, then add a VPN configuration with your server and account details.
8. Stop asking to join Wi-Fi networks
If you're fed up of getting bugged by messages asking if you'd like to join this or that Wi- Fi network all the time then head to Settings, Wi-Fi and turn off Ask to Join Networks. You can still join any network that will have you from this same screen, it just won't bug you constantly when the opportunity arises.
9. Turn battery percentage off
Do you find the battery charge percentage distracting? The good news is you can turn it off very easily. Go to Settings, General, Usage and you can turn it off here.
10. Quick volume mute
When the iPad first launched, there was no dedicated mute button anywhere on the device. However, with iOS 4.3 Apple has given you the choice of using the lock switch to mute the sound or lock the iPad's orientation. Either way, a good tip for quickly muting your iPad is to press and hold the Volume-down button.
11. Use an Apple keyboard
Missing a real keyboard? Any Apple Wireless Keyboard will work with the iPad. In fact, your iPad will work with any Bluetooth keyboard. Some iPad cases have a keyboard built in, which can be handy.
12. Connect to an HD TV
You can connect the iPad 2 and new iPad to your HD television using Apple's Digital AV Adapter (which connects from your 30-pin Dock adaptor to a HDMI port) or a plain old Apple VGA Adaptor. Both are available from the Apple Store. The iPad 2 and new iPad support video mirroring, so your entire Home screen will appear on the TV, not just the videos you play.
13. AirPlay: Stream movies, photos and music
Whenever you see the AirPlay icon on your iPad it means you can stream whatever media you're viewing to your Apple TV, which is usually connected to your living room TV. All you need to do is tap the AirPlay icon (which looks like a rectangle with a triangle in it) and it starts playing automatically – it's so simple!
14. Take an iPad screenshot
You can take a screenshot on your iPad by pressing Home and then the Sleep/Wake button. The screen will flash and you'll hear a click, indicating that a photo has been taken. Your screen shots are saved automatically in your Photos gallery. Here, you can view or email them as you see fit.
15. Avoid underpowered USB docks
The iPad does not charge when you connect it to some USB docks or even certain ports on some notebooks. Instead, plug in to a high power USB port (check you computer's specs, or use a powered USB dock). On some PCs, USB ports on the front of the computer are lower power, so you will need to plug into one on the back.
16. Use Multitasking Gestures
Multitasking Gestures, which utilise four and five finger gestures to let you switch between apps, to bring up the multitasking bar, and to close an app and go back to the Home screen. You can turn them on in Settings > General, but be warned that they clash with some apps.
17. Restrict your Spotlight searches
Swipe left on the Home screen to reveal the Spotlight search. By default it searches everything including songs in your iPod, podcasts, apps and events. To restrict the areas it searches, since you may not want all these categories included, look in Settings > General > Spotlight Search.
18. Add a Google Calendar
Want to add your Google Calendar to the iPad's Calendar app? No problem. In Settings open Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Add an account and tap on Other. Tap on Add CalDAV Account and enter your Google Account credentials (the Server is www.google.com). Exit the Settings app and tap on the Calendar app and all your events should appear. By default all calendars are displayed, but you can tap on the Calendars button to choose which ones are shown.
19. Find My iPhone (or iPad)
Apple's Find My iPad works for all iCloud users. In Settings > iCloud, enter your Apple ID and then turn Find My iPad on near the bottom of the screen. Now if you lose your iPad, you can go to icloud.com or use Find My iPhone on another device to locate the iPad. If you have a Wi-Fi-only model, it will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for this to work.
20. Use AirPrint
Thanks to AirPrint you can print right from your iPad, provided you've got a compatible printer, of course. If you've got an AirPrint ready printer then you just choose Print from the Share menu for virtually any open document. AirPrint works with the new range of printers from HP, and you can use a Mac app called Printopia (www.ecamm.com) to print to any printer connected to a Mac.
21. Use a Smart Cover
Apple's iPad Smart Cover (from £35/$39) is a must have iPad accessory – it's not just a dumb cover. When you draw it over the iPad's screen it puts it to sleep for you, and wakes it up when you open it. Also, it latches onto special magnets built into the side of the iPad 2 and new iPad, so it's a perfect fit. It doesn't work with the original iPad.
22. Share from Pages
Transferring Pages documents from your iPad by syncing with iTunes on your Mac or PC is a real hassle. It's much quicker to use the Share menu to email the finished document to wherever you need it to be. Also, you can email it as a Word or PDF document if you like.
23. Turn iPad caps lock on
To type a capital letter on the onscreen keyboard you first tap the left or right shift key, then the letter. If you need to type a whole word in caps this can be painful. Save time typing in caps by turning the caps lock on. To do this double tap on either shift key.
24. Copy and paste
You can quickly copy and paste text by tapping and holding down, and then choosing Select to select the exact portion of text you'd like the copy. Next tap Copy, then go to a different app, and tap and hold down again, then tap Paste from the menu that appears. Top tip: To select an entire paragraph of text you need to tap four times.
25. Replace a word
When you hold down on a word to copy it, choose Select, then you will see a new option: Replace. Tap this and, you can see suggestions for alternative words that have similar spellings. It's a good way of quickly correcting typos.

How Dealers Are Protecting Their Home Turf
Defined battle lines are being drawn in a reshaped residential market as traditional security dealers maneuver to stake their claim vs. new entrants with deep pockets. The latest research reveals key market disruptions, revenue projections, preferred connected services and much more.
SECURITY SALES & INTEGRATION and Parks Associates now survey installing security dealers on a regular basis to uncover emerging trends in residential security systems and services. Our mission is to provide the actual perspective from those on the frontlines looking to market, sell, install and service new offerings like interactive lifestyle-based conveniences, energy management, keyless entry and much more.
In May and June, SSI and Parks Associates surveyed 162 security dealers about their business conditions, the importance (or lack thereof) of IP-based add-ons, their take on where the market is headed and how they expect to adapt to increasingly competitive conditions.
Results and conclusions from this latest survey will help all dealers understand how their firm is addressing changes and the impact of connected peripherals to the basic security system, as well as bring the tremendous opportunities into clearer focus.
New Players Keep Rolling In
This year the industry's residential marketplace stakeholders have witnessed the continued expansion into professionally monitored security by telcos and cablecos, along with more announcements of self-installed smarthome systems.
As of the end of June, AT&T Digital Life systems became available in 27 AT&T markets; the systems are on display in more than 700 company-owned retail stores. By year end, AT&T expects to have its Digital Life system and services available in up to 50 markets. Professionally monitored security is the anchor service at this time; add-ons follow a pattern now established for nearly all IP home management upselling. AT&T can provide lighting control, cameras and energy control. Each AT&T Digital Life market is served by at least two installation companies.
Comcast, the largest cable provider in the United States, reports that its Xfinity Home portfolio is available in all of its markets. Add-ons to its professionally monitored security offerings are device access, status and control for network security cameras and lighting. In addition, Comcast announced in June the availability of its smart thermostat, EcoSaver.
AT&T and Comcast, although noted as the biggest player entrants, are joined by Time Warner, Cox Communications and others that have introduced similar portfolios and are currently marketing to new and existing clients. And now arrives satellite TV provider DirecTV, which in June acquired LifeShield, a self-installed, professionally monitored, wireless digital security system. Meanwhile ADT, the indisputable market leader in monitored security, has amped up its advertising on radio and TV for its Pulse offering. Protection 1 is marketing its Life digital home security system packages, and many other smaller providers are jumping onboard as well.
Using "traditional" professionally monitored security as an anchor is not the only new play. Verizon's Home Monitoring & Control (HMC) service arrives without professional monitoring and without accompanied higher fees. The offering includes cameras, thermostat and lighting control, along with a $10 per month hosting fee. Iris, Lowe's recent entry is rolling out to nearly all of the company's more than 1,500 big box stores and it too charges a $10 monthly fee. In June, Comcast announced its own DIY home automation system, also at $10 per month, with no option for professional monitoring. Thus, those three players are in direct competition at least on function and price.
For now, and even with all the changing market landscape, the two most highly regarded hardware systems are from Honeywell and GE Interlogix. Honeywell takes first or second choice as hardware provider among more than 25% of all surveyed dealers. Joining these long-established manufacturing stalwarts comes 2GIG with 12% of all dealers reporting it as their No. 1 or No. 2 preferred hardware.
Market Drivers Propelling Service Providers, Vendors
Why are telco, cableco and other providers entering the security and home automation market? For certain it is not a short-term business play. Simply cannibalizing today's served market may be a nice start to revenues, but that alone does not merit all the attention and investment now being received by smarthome systems and services.
About 20% of all homes in the United States have some functioning electronic security system, and that percentage rises to 25% for broadband households. However, only 16% are professionally monitored. In sum, 15 million to 16 million broadband households have monitored security (see pie chart at left). The percentage increases, unsurprisingly, when only considering single-family detached homes, and increases even further when considering the top third of the single-family housing market. Because housing prices vary dramatically across the nation, thinking of the top third in terms of value instead of an absolute dollar value makes more sense.
To start, established players such as ADT and Protection 1 seek to reduce attrition. ADT's most recent annual report places its attrition rate at ~14%. Other providers report anywhere from 10% to 15% attrition, and some leeway exists due to slightly different definitions for "attrition." However defined, attrition makes growth an uphill battle. Consider: If a security provider has one million customers, then 14% attrition equals the loss of 140,000 in customers within a year. To achieve even 3% growth, that company needs to sell and install 170,000 systems (140,000 to make up for attrition and 30,000 in new growth) in the same year!
If smarthome system and device benefits can reduce attrition by even just half, the benefit to provider profitability and growth is enormous. In that scenario, the provider only lost 70,000 customers; the company only has to sell 70,000 to make up for attrition and then 30,000 for growth. If the company sold the same 140,000 systems as imagined above, its rate of growth doubles from 3% to more than 6%.
Security Is Our Business, Too
For professionals who recommend, buy and install all types of electronic security equipment, a free subscription to Security Sales & Integration is like having a consultant on call. You'll find an ideal balance of technology and business coverage, with installation tips and techniques for products and updates on how to add sales to your bottom line.

Tornados downed by Bulldogs, 24-4 and 11-0April 15, 2011
Wingate, N.C. - The Tornados dropped both games on Saturday evening against Wingate University to close out the 2011 South Atlantic Conference regular season. Brevard fell in the first game 24-4, while dropping the nightcap of the doubleheader 11-0.
Brevard falls to 13-28, 5-21 SAC, while Wingate improves to 30-20, 17-10 in conference play.
Game One: Wingate 24, Brevard 4
Box Score
Kameron Armacost had a two RBI single in the top of the eighth to lead the Tornados offense in the first game, but Wingate used a 14-run third inning to capture the second game of the weekend, 24-4.
Wingate scored runs in the first, fourth, sixth and eighth innings, but batted around twice in the third inning to capture the game early.
The Tornados offense started clicking late in the game as Steele Myers reached to lead off the eighth inning on a fielding error by the Wingate right fielder. Zack Merriken drew a walk, putting runners on first and third and Kramer Clark reached on a fielder's choice, scoring Myers to put Brevard on the board. Clark came around to score on a fielding error by the WU shortstop, and Armacost added a two-run single up the middle, playing Alex Bedenbaugh and Ethan Pressley for the BC offense in the game.
Game Two: Wingate 11, Brevard 0
Box Score
Clark and Merriken had the lone hits for the Tornados in the nightcap, and Dodson McPherson drove in six runs for the Bulldogs in the second game as Wingate completed the conference sweep with their 11-0 victory.
Brevard returns home for Senior Day as they host Virginia Intermont College at Gil Coan Field on Tuesday, April 19th. First pitch of the doubleheader between the Tornados and the Cobras is set for 1 p.m.

Gary Clark Jr. to Appear on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE, 2/6; Tour with Clapton in UK, May 2013 and More
Warner Bros. Records' ascending artist Gary Clark Jr., who had a phenomenal 2012, has even more amazing things on the horizon for 2013.
Since releasing his debut EP The Bright Lights at The End of 2010, Clark has enjoyed a steady drumbeat of critical acclaim and been embraced by music fans for his fiery blend of rock & soul and blues & hip-hop with a self-styled, innate cool that Rolling Stone said (in its lead review) owes "as much to Kurt Cobain and the Ramones as Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker," going on to add that Clark's "shape-shifting calling card EP is grounded in tradition while standing on the brink of change."
The 28-year-old Austin native has become a legitimate break-out phenomenon across the globe, and the best part is that it has all occurred in the most organic way imaginable: through hard touring and a commitment to giving his all night after night with enthralling, sweat-soaked live performances and powerful music that presents Clark's unique interpretation of styles both old and new delivered in his own inimitable way.
Throughout the year, Clark was heavily in-demand as a live performer, the only one who made the rounds of nearly every major American music festival, including Bonnaroo, Coachella, Sasquatch, NOLA Jazz & Heritage Festival, Jay-Z's Made in America, Metallica's Orion Festival, Dave Matthews Band Caravan, Osheaga, and the Austin City Limits Festival, where Clark and his band set a new day-time attendance record. He was also invited to perform on Good Morning America, The Late Show With David Letterman (twice), The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon (twice), Conan, and Austin City Limits (an episode that will air Feb 16th).
In October, Clark released his album Blak And Blu, which debuted on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart at No. 6 and received raves from many major music outlets, including Rolling Stone (in yet another lead review), The New York Times, which called Clark "a guitarist of deep magnetism and tremendous feel," and Spin, which declared: "There truly is nobody else like him around." The accolades have kept coming. Since the release of Blak And Blu, Clark has appeared in the pages of Rolling Stone (numerous times), Spin, Guitar World, Vanity Fair, Vibe, People, Entertainment Weekly, Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Esquire, Guitar Player (Clark was the first emerging artist to grace their cover in over 15 years), and countless others. High profile and influential media and news outlets also praised the artist and his album including, CNN, MSN, NPR, Huffington Post, AOL, MTV, Grantland, Life+Times, ESPN, Reuters, WireImage, Dial Global, and many others covering music and culture. As 2012 drew to a close, Blak And Blu found its way onto Year End "Best Of" critics lists around the world.
A myriad of song placements in TV and film throughout the year have played an integral part in introducing the music of Gary Clark Jr. to diverse audiences. Blak and Blu tracks "Don't Owe You A Thang," "Bright Lights," "Ain't Messin' Round," and "Glitter Ain't Gold" have been featured in such TV shows as The CW's Vampire Diaries, USA's Suits, ABC's Nashville, and A&E's Longmire, as well as such films as Think Like A Man, Trouble With The Curve, and the upcoming Stand Up Guys. Clark was also ESPN's Artist of the Month in October. Having discovered Clark through word-of-mouth, music supervisors featured his music consistently throughout 2012, which left an impression on TV viewers and film-goers who may not have been aware of him otherwise.
After wrapping up tours of the U.K. and Australia, Clark made a triumphant return to the U.S. in November to perform a string of instantly sold-out tour dates on both coasts including three nights at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC and three nights at the Troubadour in L.A., each of which sold out within an hour. Clark also performed as part of the 35th Annual Kennedy Center Honors - a star-studded event attended by President and Mrs. Obama, and honoring Buddy Guy, Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman, Natalia Makarova, and Led Zeppelin.

"I have felt perpetual gratitude to heaven for having given me, in you, a source of so much pure and unmixed happiness."
Thomas Jefferson
Introduction from Harpsie Himself
Hello. That handsome guy in the top left corner is me, Harpsie (and although you probably can't tell, I am in a washbasin. Why not?) As you can see, I'm a Persian cat, a cream shaded cameo to be exact. Welcome to my website, and I hope you enjoy looking around.
The first question I am normally asked is why am I called Harpsie. Well, it's short for Harpsichord. And if you think that's bad, my brother was called Hannibal. There's more about how we got our names on the How I Met My Family and Got My Name page.
The second question I'm normally asked is why do I have my own website. That's simple. I have managed to have a vast array of feline ailments, to the extent that my cardiologist (I have met a lot of "ologists" in my time) referred to me as "the walking veterinary encyclopaedia." More recently I was labelled a "feline medical enigma" by a major animal hospital. So basically, my human is collating all my medical information here, in the hope that it might help others. My human, by the way, is a busy woman - she also looks after Tanya's Feline Chronic Renal Failure Information Centre. She does answer all my mail, but I'm sorry to say she takes ages over it, so please do check to see if any of your questions can be answered here on the site or in the links provided.
Anyway, it's time for me to have another nap, so I'm handing you over to my human now, who will write the rest of this site.
Aims of Harpsie's Site
My name is Helen, and I am Harpsie's "Mum". Little did we know how taking this delicate little cream kitten would change our lives. Over the years Harpsie has made us howl with laughter, and sob our hearts out, but we have never for one second regretted being his family. We don't have any real aims with this site, other than to give others with sick cats hope, and to try to capture Harpsie's amazing personality, which has played a major role in his ability to overcome his many medical challenges. Harpsie is incredibly placid and laidback, yet he has the most amazing fighting spirit when the chips are down.
I would like to emphasise that most of the time Harpsie enjoys a great quality of life. I'm not in the business of keeping miserable, terminally-ill cats alive. Harpsie has used up all his nine lives and then some, yet he's still with us, aged 14 now (born March 1992), and is happy and largely healthy apart from his arthritis (which is managed with acupuncture) and some neurological issues. He's a real inspiration to us, and we adore him.
Update: On 8th May 2006 Harpsie was diagnosed with carcinomatosis, diffuse and widespread cancer in the abdomen, which had already spread to the lungs. Neither of these conditions had been detectable only ten weeks earlier when Harpsie underwent extensive testing, so it was obviously a particularly aggressive form of cancer. In addition, it was both untreatable and terminal, as told to us by our vet and confirmed by a visit to an oncologist. We therefore focused on keeping Harpsie comfortable until the time came when he had to leave us. Whilst he continued to eat and to wash his paws afterwards until his very last day, he was finding it increasingly hard to breathe because of the secondary lung cancer. We therefore made the agonising decision to have Harpsie put to sleep on 23 May 2006, 15 days after his diagnosis. We miss him desperately.
Please click on the links in the sidebar on the left to learn more about Harpsie and his many ailments.
As mentioned above, my human (who is my secretary) is very busy. She does answer all mail, but sometimes it takes her ages, I'm afraid.
I have tried very hard to ensure that the information provided in this website is accurate, but I am NOT a vet, just an ordinary person who has lived with a complicated cat. This website is for educational purposes only, and is not intended to be used to diagnose or treat any cat. Before trying any of the treatments described in this website, you MUST consult a qualified veterinarian and obtain professional advice on the correct regimen for your cat and his or her particular requirements; and you should only use any treatments described here with the full knowledge and approval of your vet. If your cat appears to be in pain or distress, do not waste time on the internet, contact your vet immediately.

LONG BEACH — A candidate for the board of Long Beach Unified School District who failed to withdraw from the race by the January deadline has filed a court order to have her named removed from the ballot.
Naomi Rainey, head of the Long Beach branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, filed the necessary paperwork to run for the April 10 school board election, but then announced her withdrawal from the race three days later just hours before the filing deadline.
However, Rainey didn't officially withdraw her paperwork from the Los Angeles County Registrar's Office in time for the 5 p.m. deadline on Jan. 13. The move will now cost the school district $200,000 to hold an election because Rainey is still technically a candidate under state election law.
In a statement released Monday, Rainey said she has hired a law firm that specializes in election law to help find a legal loophole that will allow her to remove her name from the ballot and save the school district money.
"The firm will do everything legally possible to have my name removed from the ballot after I was unsuccessful in my attempts to resolve the issue with both the City of Long Beach and the Los Angeles County Voter Registrar's Office," Rainey said in a statement.
Rainey said a writ of mandate has been filed to remove her name. The outcome, however, is still uncertain.
Under California Election Code 10603, "No candidate whose declaration of candidacy has been filed for any school district or community college district governing board election or county board of education election may withdraw as a candidate after the 88 th day prior to the election."
Rainey was the only challenger against incumbent board member Jon Meyer for District 4, which includes Belmont Shore, Naples and portions of East Long Beach and Signal Hill. Had Rainey withdrawn in time, the school district wouldn't have been required to hold an election since Meyer would have been unchallenged.
Under the law, the school district is required to pay about $200,000 for ballots, stamps and other election fees.
LBUSD spokesman Chris Eftychiou said the school district's legal counsel is also exploring possible options that will allow the school to avoid holding a costly election.
Rainey, who has served as president of the NAACP for the past decade, said she will continue to focus on community service.
"I believe in Democracy and urge constituents to press on with those issues that are important and to demand responsive governance," she said in the statement. "I believe you must not let your leaders take you for granted. You must make sure that your elected leaders work hard for you everyday and are held accountable."

Religion and psychology have much in common, but this is where they part: Religion seeks to convince you how to live. Psychology seeks to help you live more autonomously. I do not see how this gap can be bridged, although in my couples therapy I use an almost religious model in that the more one understands and honors one's partners needs, it frees the partner from anxiety and he or she can therefore more easily meet the other's needs.

Christian counseling can address issues of faith, the challenges of staying on the religious path, and questions about the meaning and purpose of one's life. This form of counseling also helps clients address problems at the intersection of Christian doctrine and the client's individual goals and life challenges. For Christian people struggling with mental health or relationship issues, Christian counseling helps to find solutions to the problems in the context of Christianity. At Lepage Associates, our Christian counselors help individuals, families, and couples solve their problems, whatever those may be, with a combination empirically-validated therapy targeted toward their presenting problem,....

I got Kismet up and running on my laptop. I took my laptop to work and scanned our public wireless network. My co-worker had his laptop running and I tried to find it. I knew what wireless node he was on and I knew what his MAC address was. I scanned node 5 (his node) and brought up the client list. I then sorted it by MAC address. His MAC address did not show up! What did I do wrong? Is there a way to look for a specific MAC address if you know what it is?
I brought my laptop Home and scanned my home network also. One of my wired computers MAC addresses did not show either! Although I think I might have the answer for that. The "No Show" was the docking station on my network. But I had done a "getmac" command to bring up the addresses for that device and that one was not on the list. Hmmm. I am missing something. Your help would be appreciated.

Securing the Internet: Jennifer Rexford -- Shrewd strategy
Patrolling the edges, rethinking the core, Princeton researchers envision a more secure Internet
If we think of Felten as being at one end of the spectrum in his vision of how to best make the Internet secure in the future, and we think of Peterson and Lee as being at the other end, then Jennifer Rexford stands in the middle. Or, perhaps more accurately, Rexford stands simultaneously at both ends of the spectrum—a shrewd strategist who sees the advantages of simultaneously pursuing orthogonal research agendas.
On the one hand, Rexford, a professor of computer science and 1991 graduate of Princeton, is a key player in GENI.
"GENI would really open up the intellectual space in thinking about the Internet," Rexford said. "Often people kill off interesting lines of inquiry because they aren't compatible with the Internet as it exists today. So we end up shutting off the part of our brains that is thinking outside the box."
On the other hand, Rexford has been working for several years on improving routing protocols—the rules by which information is shunted from one path to another across the Internet. In this, Rexford is aiming to increase security incrementally over time—taking in many ways the opposite of the "clean-slate" approach that GENI promises.
The Internet is essentially an aggregation of 25,000 or so separately operated networks of computers. They are stitched together by the "border gateway protocol," which is notoriously insecure.
The system works fine when all the players are honest. But some players are not, and thus the unfortunate phenomena of identity theft, spam and denial-of-service attacks. "If you lie about who you are you can easily reroute Internet traffic," said Rexford. "Which is why it is so crucial that we address this vulnerability in the system."

drop dat knowledge rofl, but srsly, just deny everything or stfu. Also, how expensive is benzos?
everyone is a little.dont worrie about it if your doing throwies you could so one in like 45 seconds and it takes cops to respond to a call like 15 minutes
I tend to not write in certain places because my mind makes me think there are cameras or something. I might just be a fucking pussy.
yOURE SCARED OF CAMERAS
Hahah good one
If the cops come just run you can't stop you idiot .
Some cops are cool and just have you wipe it off and some are dicks and will take you .
And if you get caught and go infront of a judge admit that you did it and they might give you a break .
Happened alot to tagger's i hear.
to get your name you'll have to get your name out there so the only answer is pretty much smoke a fatty and have a good time with it relax and have fun you'll have to take risks just always wear a mask alllllllllways
without paranoia i feel like it wouldnt be as fun, thats what gets the adrenaline pumping for me is the chance of getting caught. just dont stay in on spot for to long, even if someone calls the cops it takes ATLEAST 5 minutes for them to show up so if you can get in get out within like 3 your fine, and then if you ever do get caught just remember if they ask you questions that means they dont know forsure which means they cant take you in so they are just trying to trick you into admitting you did it. if they KNOW you did it they would tell you to put your hands on the wall and arrest you right there. as long as your smart and fast you shouldnt have a problem!
Hit the cops with donuts and keep working on you're shit
Fucking deal with it, you're paranoid for a good reason, you're doing something illegal in a place that people necessarily WILL see. It's part of the lifestyle. If you're that much of a pussy/badass, however you wanna look at it, do some drugs. Coke, benzos, alcohol, speed, and probably a bunch of other ones too, will all help with that feeling of paranoia, but, in my experience at least, will serious impede the quality of your work.
Personally I'm only really paranoid before I start hitting a spot, the second that first dot of paint hit's the wall that's all I can think about though, and the leftover paranoia just gets drowned out. THAT's probably a really bad thing though haha.
I sever heads, just to sharpen my skills
i get hella paranoid ill tag not really thinking about it. its after i do i start thinking ima get caught and fines. i sometimes think i should go clean it off but i never do and havent been caught yet i just sketch out alot
"it's not the question if you are paranoid, but if you are paranoid enough". Always take precautions and stay cool.
being that graffs against the law !and ure on one of the biggest graffiti sites talking like grow a set of balls! and delte this thread know the rules of the game before u play !! "wshoner ykm"
wut? English, do you speak it?!
i think its good to be a little paranoid. when i first started writing i was pretty scared of getting caught and everything but as i started more and more it kinda died away and you feel like youre unstoppable. which isnt really good because its easier to get caught and everything so i think its good to still be a little paranoid about everything

Original Message
From book: "I have lived before" by Sture Lonnerstrand
Quotations from the Bible
Several Bible quotations indicate the the belief in reincarnation, at the time when Jesus appeared on earth, was generally accepted among the Jews. Here are several quotations:
Jesus asked his disciples: "Who do men say that I, the son of Man, am?" (Matthew 16:13)
The disciples answered: "Some say that you are John the Baptist: some Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets."
If it was not for the fact that reincarnation was generally accepted in the Jewish culture, Jesus would hardly have asked the question in that manner.
Observe that Jesus asked who the people believed he was, not if he had lived before. He took for granted that everyone knew about prior lifetimes.
Another famous remark (John 15:17) which is ascribed to Jesus is as follows:
"You shall bear witness for you have been with me from the beginning."
The beginning must have been alluded to the first words in the Bible, "In the beginning..." It was a question of a rather long period of time.
In another passage (John 9:2), the disciples asked Jesus:
"Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
This question implies, that for the disciples it was quite natural that the man had been inflicted with a handicap due to the fact that he had sinned in an earlier life. It could not have happened in the present incarnation, as he had been blind since birth.
St. Clement of Alexandria stated that the teachings of reincarnation had been authorized by the apostle Paul himself. In a letter to the Galatians (Galatians 6:7) Paul says:
"Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
Paul knew that everything a person sows during an earthly life cannot possibly be reaped during the same lifetime. Sometimes God mills grind slowly
Paul's successors have not, as far as is known, ever questioned the Law regarding sowing and reaping, or the Law of consequences, as it is called.
However, to this day, one has apparently overlooked the fact that Karma and Reincarnation are two sides of the same coin. Reincarnation is not possible without karma and karma cannot function without reincarnation.
There are other places in the New Testament as well as in the Old Testament that suggest reincarnation but they are less known
Elijah and John the Baptist
The Bible's prime example regarding the truth of reincarnation is clearly shown by Jesus himself. The Old Testament and the New Testament come together in an extremely interesting manner when the prophet Elijah, who according the account in the Old Testament (II Kings 2:11) "... went up to heaven in a chariot of fire." (Malachi 4:5)
The New Testament attaches great importance to the question regarding the rebirth of Elijah and has consequently, taken up the subject in several places:
In (Luke 1:17) "Elijah's spirit and power" is talked about, which in the body of John the Baptist would come before the Lord.
In the gospel according to Mark (Mark 9:11) the disciples ask: "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" Jesus answers them that Elijah would indeed come first to restore all things (Mark 9:12)
In Matthew (17:12) Jesus is quoted as saying: "But I tell you that Elijah has already come..." "Then disciples understood that it was John the Baptist he was speaking to them about. (Matthew 17:13)"
In Matthew (11:14-15) Jesus is clear as crystal about the baptist's earlier identity. "And if you are willing to accept it,
he is ELIJAH
, the one who has come." He then adds so that there can be no doubt about it:"Whoever has ears ought to hear."
Can it be said more clearly?
Jesus has with all these words, once and for all established the truth of reincarnation.
"Whoever has ears out to hear!"
The teachings of reincarnation, although still rejected, are nonetheless an important part of Christian heritage, a cornerstone of original Christianity, and a basis of original picture of Christianity throughout the world- in a similar manner that the belief in reincarnation has always been in the oriental religions.
It's important to ascertain that the belief is repeated earthly lives is in no way in conflict with central Christian motives. Its more likely that the teaching of reincarnation strengthens the Christian message, making it more complete, more genuine and more credible.
Many people have wondered how it is possible that Jesus, Christianity's central figure, can still be denied and be so fragrantly misunderstood by his own followers, by his own churches regarding such an important and fundamental question concerning what happens to us when we die.
Its an enigma which remains unsolved."

Tax Facts Index
East Baton Rouge Parish
Department of Finance
Volume 18, No. 4
October 2007
Under the authority of the Uniform Local Sales
Tax Code, R.S. 47:337.1 et seq., and in accordance with the Uniform Local Sales
Tax Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 47:337.91 et seq., the Louisiana
Association of Tax Administrators has adopted regulations relating to the tax on
the storage of property. In an effort to keep taxpayers up to date regarding
taxing issues, the following regulations have been adopted by the City-Parish
Revenue Division:
Title 72
Part I. General Provisions
Chapter 5. Tax on the Storage of Property
501. Purpose
A. For the purpose of use tax levied by local
political subdivisions, storage means the keeping or retention of
tangible personal property for use or consumption within the local taxing
jurisdiction. An analysis of whether or not a taxable storage event has occurred
within a local taxing jurisdiction requires an evaluation of the original sales
transaction as well as the subsequent possession and use of the tangible
personal property by the purchaser.
503. Transactions
A. Transactions involving specific pieces of
property imported by the purchaser into the local taxing jurisdiction, which
have written documentation, i.e., invoices, purchase orders, etc., clearly
labeled (earmarked for exclusive use outside the taxing jurisdiction) for
transshipment outside the taxing jurisdiction at the time of importation into
the taxing jurisdiction, are excluded from use tax. Property may be stored in
the taxing jurisdiction for an indefinite period of time, however any
disposition of the property for a purpose contrary to that originally labeled
(earmarked) would immediately subject the transaction to the use tax in the
jurisdiction where stored.
505. Property that Comes to Rest in the
Taxing Jurisdiction
A. Property that comes to rest in the taxing
jurisdiction which has been documented for exclusive use outside the taxing
jurisdiction may also be excluded from use tax if the purchaser obtains a
Temporary Storage Tax Exemption Certificate from the collector prior to or at
the time the tangible personal property is imported into the taxing
jurisdiction. This certificate would allow the taxpayer/purchaser to store the
tangible personal property without the payment of the use tax, however, the
purchaser must identify where the tangible personal property will be used on the
certificate. If the parish of use is the same as the parish of storage, the tax
must be paid at the time of delivery.
507. Transaction in which Title and
Possessions are Transferred
A. Transactions in which title and possession of
tangible personal property are transferred within a local taxing jurisdiction
are clearly sales at retail and these transactions are not eligible for the
temporary storage exclusion. Sales tax is due regardless of whether a Temporary
Storage Tax Exemption Certificate has been issued or the property is labeled
(earmarked) for use in another jurisdiction. The key factor in the transaction
is the delivery in purchaser's taxing jurisdiction via the seller's vehicle or
by the seller's agent. In such event, the seller is physically giving possession
to the purchaser in the purchaser's taxing jurisdiction and a sales tax would be
due. Likewise, when the purchaser picks up the property in its own vehicle at
the seller's place of business, title and possession have been transferred and a
sales tax would be due in the seller's taxing jurisdiction.

Hi guys,
I've slackware 64 bit installed in partition sda1.
The BT4's installation is in sda3.
Now, if I install GRUB from BT4, I can boot BT4 without problem... but I can't boot Slackware (I can see it, but if I start nothing happens).
Same with Slackware, after installing LILO and added BT4 I can boot slackware but not backtrack (this time, I start BT and it hangs on USB devices, I have nothing attacched and it seems like it stops at the card reader).
I've acer aspire 5735z
I used BT for a long time without problem, this is the first time that I dual - boot.
Hope you can help!

Although not an issue in specifically backtrack but for the Linux kernel 2.6.x has anyone had any issues with their batteries draining extremely fast in the new BTR3? Ive been researching and found that it's a problem with the sandy/ivy bridge processors and the kernel. But also read it would be fixed in ver 3.x. Never found anything else on the linux and battery drainage issue. Everyones said powertop etc etc and I've even been told to place parameters in grub cfg ex:
Googling "The Leading Cause Of The Recent Linux Kernel Power Problems" can find more information on this. The main site that has the best information about battery draining using linux is phoronix which ive found a lot of info. To get back to my question has anyone had luck with the new version of BT on their mobile systems as far as battery consumption goes. Thanks for any input.

Sofia Vergara: Cracking Up on "Modern Family" Set
Gearing up for another day on the job, Sofia Vergara showed up to film "Modern Family"in Long Beach, California yesterday afternoon (November 15).
As she strolled out to the set, Ms. Vergara donned a fake pregnant belly and laughed at a crew member's joke while shutterbugs peeped from a nearby perch.
Earlier this month, Sofia gushed about the St. Jude's Children's Hospital Thanks and Giving Campaign, of which she is a part this year.
"There is no place like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and to be a part of this year's St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign is humbling and inspiring. As a mother and a cancer survivor, I am touched that St. Jude's research and treatment strives to save every child battling cancer and other deadly childhood diseases across America and around the world."
Enjoy the pictures of Sofia Vergara on the set of 'Modern Family' (November 15).

NowGamer: An industry analyst says the reaction to Sony's PS4 reveal has been 'mixed' and that it did not show enough exclusives to give itself a 'leg up' over Microsoft.
killzone shadow fall... infamous second son... knack....exclusive content for Destiny... what else this analyst want?....
Forgot to mention Drive Club.
the witness,exclusive ACIV content,deep down,exclusive methods to play watchdogs,diablo 3,exclusive Final Fantasy game...they have an AAA title for every genre.Don't forget multiplatform games murdered,new limbo,respawn's game,bf4,mm's new game,ssm's and gg's new ips,witcher 3,spoorts games.....
and Media Molecule new IP.
Did he even watch the presentation?
What??!? @_@
I'm a little confused by these words??? and who took the cookies from the cookie jar??
with E3 yet to come... if analysts owned crystal balls they wouldn't be earning a living talking out of their rear ends. My analysis of his is that its weak....Lacked exclusives and sony are like chalk and cheese and theres way to many events to know what will or wont be available at launch.
The analyst is just trying get attention by going against the tide. PS4 got a universal positive reception including media, developers, publishers, critics and gamers. Everyone is happy about the redesigned controller, the specs, the games and are looking forward to E3 to have a look the console and AAA games.
This guy calls himself an analyst, another that doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. PS3 had more exclusives than any other console. And is in second place in console sales wordwide. Even at its high price it sill sold more consoles than Xbox 360 at launch.
The announcement came out the blue during a period when gaming news was stale as hell. What more could he ask for is correct...
If this was Sony's E3 showing I would agree a little but this was a random day in February lol. Imagine what's gonna go down in June.
If this was a MS event I would give some credence to lack of exclusives. But who in their right mind doesn't think Sony (or Nintendo for that matter) will not have a lot of exclusives? That is pretending that the Sony conference didn't announce several exclusives.
honestly? I'd love to see a JRPG. Hopefully will get on come TGS.
And is it horrible that by "new JRPG" I don't mean anything done by Square?
I think this pain in the rear end is probably referring (In the most gentle way possible) to rather only 'MAINSTREAM' Exclusives, which in fact was kind off a good thing that they gave their other IP's a chance. There's no pleasing everyone especially analysts who don't quite know their own arm from their leg; but we as gamers can enjoy the spoils off the PlayStation 4's already powerful line-up :)
Sony is purposely not showing them all until E3. Some people are just special. We have to live with them because there are laws. So don't get to angry with them.
Have patience my friends.
8.1 million mixed
26 million views is mixed
Hahwhat? Sony showed off mostly exclusives, and since when did exclusives matter? I thought only multiplats and timed-exclusive DLC mattered, right? That's what the pro-Microsoft camp has been saying for the last two and a half years.
For me the big fundamental difference between sony and microsoft is this. Sony pays to makes tons of exclusive games that would have otherwise not existed and microsoft pays giant sums of money to developers to stop them for releasing something on the PS3.
it doesn't matter when when they don't have exclusives but if it's the other way around
it would be a different story
Well here we go again.
I know right "Somebody always wanna bring up Rocky Marciano!"
This "analyst" must have seen a completely different reveal than I did. I mean what was shown exceeded the ps3 launch titles. We still have GDC, E3 and TGS where most likely Sony will show more exclusives. Oh we'll, guess one mans trash is another mans treasure.
I loved this little nugget from the "analyst".
"Last cycle Sony really hurt itself with its $599 US launch price."
Really? And yet PS3 sales were pretty much on par with PS2 sales until the market crash and the recession hit, and it's gone on to outsell it's closest competition despite hitting the market a year later. When you look at how quickly the PS3 sold since launch, despite it's price point, and compare it to the 360, the PS3 comes out on top, hands down. Yep. The PS3 really suffered. He must think the 360 was a completely disaster, if that's the case.
And Sony's two console strategy had them selling the most home consoles between the two after the PS3 launched, something most media completely ignore when they label the Wii the victor these past 7 years in terms of console volume. But of course, an analyst would know all this, wouldn't he? I mean, the sales figures aren't exactly secret.
It amazes me that still, even in the face of all the facts you still here people bemoaning the PS3's allegedly poor launch. I'd love to hear how they justify that claim with some actual comparisons.
Mixed? No. Reaction was overwhelmingly positive. The only people whining are the ones who think the most important thing is how the console looks on the outside, which is ridiculous. Who believes the games shown so far will be the only ones available during the launch window? There are several chances before launch to reveal more.
That's what I was thinking. Where is this "mixed" reaction he's talking about. For weeks now since the reveal we've heard nothing but developers praising the design of the PS4 and almost everything shown at the Sony event was an exclusive. The analyst sounds like one of those "but there was no console" whiners.
Hardcore gamers were pleased, but the general public seemed to shrug it off a bit. In the main media, the big news seemed to be that a console wasn't shown. Many will argue that you can't judge success by sales figures, but realistically you knid of have to. Sales are what spur development, like it or not. The opinion is abit too cut-and-dried for my taste, but potential elements of truth remain. We'll see, though. The next few months will be a crazy ride.
Well for one the general public wouldn't generally be the ones to see the event to begin with as they aren't typically given to browsing for that kind of thing. You couldn't watch the event on television so they wouldn't see it. Second, if by main media you mean big media then they are irrelevant as they are always creating sensationalism for the sake of ratings/hits. And finally, if by sales you mean the PS3, it's comfortably sitting at about 80 million units sold and this generation has been the most successful in terms of total sales of all time.
Basically, those that matter were pleased, those that weren't were drumming up excuses that don't matter or trying to go against the grain for "hits."
I agree, however, if the author maintains that the public's interest was not quite as positive and rabid as gamers, which we know to be true, then there is some truth to it. I would prefer to see more data as to whether or not that's the case, though. Of the 80 million sold, how many are hardcore gamers? 20 million? Public perception absolutely matters, as the vast majority of purchasers don't follow video game blogs daily, as we do. It all becomes a balancing act, where you have to please the hardcore and the casual. Right now, Sony is leaning toward the core, and MS to the casual. Hopefully MS swings back more to the core.
Cross platform gameing community stood still that day, it was awesome.
What the hell is this writing idiot trying to twist this into.
only twisting it into hits for their site haha.
Not enough exclusives over MS? MS haven't shown a single thing about their next gen entry, so how on earth can he state as such?
What? I mean what? Im pretty sure reactions has been positive from most PS fans and developers. Most are happy bout the PS4, hell one particular developer is horny for the ps4.
Also lacking exclusives to one up MS?
Knack, a platformer by a legendary developer and father of the PS4 and by one awesome studio, Japan Studio.
Killzone Shadowfall, a very very impressive looking FPS by Guerrilla Games.
InFamous: Second Son, a super hero open world game which as indicated by Sucker Punch, will be as beautifully rendered as the trailer.
The Witness, timed exclusive of course, open world puzzle game.
And who knows what else Sony has planned for GDC, E3 and during the time till PS4 is released.
The presentation was okay, but nothing special.
Specs are fine, but the games were boring.
Killzone and inFamous are boring and already massively slowing down saleswise. Knack looked decent, Drive Club will struggle next to Forza 5 and GT6.
PSN games not working on PS4 and no backward capability were 2 HUGE letdowns.
Yeah because I'm going to buy a ps4 to play my ps3 games. It sucks that my Blu ray player can't play VHS tapes what a HUGE letdown
I'd love that job, getting payed for talking out of my rectum!
Um, wasn't most of it exclusive other than Watch Dogs?
even a new cheese burger will get mix reactions both bad and good. less cheese? too much bacon salt bla bla bla and so on. just about anything from this world will get mix reactions. for me sony sealed the deal already when they announced what ps4's features will be capable off not some next generation cable wanna be box rofl.
First I've heard of it. Seemed pretty positive overall to me, but, whatever Mr. dime a dozen analyst. See you at E3.
Erm, right fine, 4 exclusive games, exclusive DLC and amazing pre-order quantities in the UK!
6 of the 9 games shown were exclusive. That is all.
How many exclusives are they supposed to show months before the system even launches?
even though I feel they showed plenty of both exclusive & Multiplat content we all know Sony never is lacking in the exclusive department. There may be a lull while they try to expand their market in other areas but they always come back to the core exclusives.
Drive Club- racing fans
killzone - shooter
knack- platforming adventure
infamous- sandbox superhero
The Witness (timed) puzzle
watchdogs -sandbox
ac black flags- sandbox
cod mw4 -shooter
madden -sports
nba 2k- sports
fifa- sports
bf 4- shooter
i mean what else do they honestly need for the 1st 3 months
march 2014 mlb the show 14- sports
Does this analyst own a lot of Microsoft stock? I think Sony showed plenty. They didn't have to show everything the first show. Save stuff for E3. They just had to announce the PS4 and show a few games. We still have to see Microsoft's reveal. There's months to go until we can probably buy either console.
Killzone and Infamous are two great exclusives..:)
Yeah, because we all wanted to see all the exclusives for at least the next 7 years
Jesus are we still doing this? Critiquing an initial reveal? A preview? Are we still acting like E3 doesn't exist? And it doesn't have a leg up over Microsoft? Microsoft has yet to even announce their console! Lol yet Sony is already not up to par with the '720'. I'm so tired of this site.
I feel the same way. I keep telling myself to come here only to get an aggregate of headlines, but I always find myself ending up down here in the slums.
Didn't Sony's stock jump right after the show?
And Sony showed off 4 exclusives at a non GDC/E3/TGS event. Can MS or Nintendo do that? Probably not.
Lastly, the biggest issue people nit picked was not showing the console. I could understand if they did it at E3 like Nintendo....
It seems like many people expected this to be like E3. It wasn't supposed to be about seeing everything the PS4 can do and all the games. It was exactly as intended...an event formally announcing the PS4 and the future of the PS brand. You'll get plenty of games at E3.
Some people just HAVE to complain about something, don't they?
Why the hell would Sony reveal their entire hand when E3 is coming up? The announcement was meant to give us a taste of what the PS4 will be bringing to the table, not the full experience. Dumbasses...
that analyst is talking complete bollocks.
are 4 exclusive IPs ,on a hardware focused conference shown not enough?
No exclusives?
Exclusives were the star of the show.
He must have confused the PS4 reveal with the Galaxy SIV reveal.
Samsung: "We are pleased to announce the new Galaxy SIV!"
Analyst: "WHERE THE HELL ARE THE EXCLUSIVES SONNYYY??!!"
TBH Sony have more unannounced games for PS4 this E3
I can see it now, in june this genius will write another article, "Sony presentation mixed feelings, showed too many exclusives at e3"

Superlatives with Rixton
Listen to Rixton Radio on iHeartRadio
If you haven't yet heard of up and coming pop rock band Rixton, allow us to introduce you. The band hails from Manchester, UK and is made up of (from left above) Charley Bagnall (lead guitar/backing vocals), Lewi Morgan (drums), Jake Roche (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), and Danny Wilkin (bass/keys/backing vocals).
Rixton is not the name of one of the band members, nor is it the name of anyone they know. "We made it up," Jake says, so when Danny discovered after the band's formation that the street parallel to the one his home is on is called "Rixton Grove," they knew it was meant to be. Danny calls the experience "literally crazy."
The British four piece is climbing the charts with their catchy debut single, "Me and My Broken Heart," drawing early comparisons to Maroon 5, which the band calls an "honor." "To even be put in that same category is crazy for us," Jake says, "but if there was a band out there that we could sound like, I think it would be Maroon 5, One Republic."
[Buy Me and My Broken Heart on iTunes]
Rixton stopped by iHeartRadio Headquarters in NYC recently, where they let us in on who's who in the band by divulging their collective picks in categories like Biggest Flirt, Biggest Ego, Biggest Mama's Boy and more. Check out Superlatives with Rixton below!
BIGGEST FLIRT: LEWI (unanimous)
"If any female, ANY, walks into the room -- even if it's on the other side of the airport terminal -- he'll spot [her]," Jake says of his coquettish counterpart."There's like a radar... He'll be the first one to say hello and the last one to say goodbye."
"Jake is the most placid person," Danny says. "Anytime that there's an argument, he just sits right in the middle... I can just imagine one day something happening and SNAP! Out a guy goes through a 40th floor window or something. I can just see it."
"I go up to [girls] and make a complete idiot out of myself," Jake says of his out-on-the-town tactics. "Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't."
To illustrate his wingman prowess, Lewi tells a story: "One time we were out in Manchestern and there's this group of girls -- eight or nine of them -- all dancing in a circle. He literally just went straight into the middle of them, started busting out some dance moves and walked straight back out. He didn't say a word. And then 10 minutes later, they all just flocked straight over."
"I like to get involved with the trend," Charley tells iHeartRadio. "I just like fashion because you can be a different person everyday. I don't like just sticking to one."
"He was gonna be in the Olympics. He's a gymnast," Danny tells iHeartRadio. At one point, Lewi was actually training for the 2012 Olympics, but he decided to pursue another path.
"But then I discovered women and music," Lewi says, adding, "That leotard did me no favors."
"WHAT?! Who put that!?" Jake exclaimed upon discovering he was NOT the group's pick for 'Biggest Ego.'
"I literally don't have an ego by the way," Danny added.
Lewi chimed in to defend his answer, "My reason for putting you is when we're playing basketball, you literally dominate us... You're competitive... It's not that you know you're great, but you know you're great at music."
"I literally have the least ego in this band," Danny retorted.
Enter Charley: "It's confidence not an ego. Confidence in his abilities."
Danny still wasn't convinced, adding, "That's crazy. That's the craziest answer so far for me."
LIFE OF THE PARTY: JAKE (unanimous)
"Yeah... I will be standing on tables and stuff – pretty crazy," Jake says. "Yeah, yeah I'll take that."
"His timing is great," Danny tells iHeartRadio. "He's always on time, and you can trust him with anything, really."
"I'm very very close with my mom," Jake says, unsurprised at being deemed the mama's boy of the group. "And I talk to her a lot; I talk to her about everything."
"Why? I'm a Mama's Boy throwing a chair...what's happening?" Jake says, although he actually voted for himself in this category. "Yeah, I'd actually agree with me as well. But I wouldn't do it in an angry way, I'd do it like 'Mate, catch!'"
OVERACHIEVER: DANNY (unanimous)
"He's a perfectionist," Jake says.
Danny adds, "I even voted for me."
"That probably is both of you," Charley says to Jake and Lewi. "Not in a bad way."
Jake adds, "Little TMZ scoop!"
Rixton's debut album drops next year. In the meantime, pick up their EP Me and My Broken Heart.
Watch the lyric video for "Me and My Broken Heart" below.
