DC got off to a rocky start and then Patty Jenkins went and made a very good "Wonder Woman."And yet somehow it is no surprise that "Justice League " tips the balances back in the wrong direction. Although marginally better than "Batman v Superman" and "Suicide Squad," director Zack Snyder's latest is still a profound mess of maudlin muscles, incoherent action and jaw-droppingly awful CGI. It is big, loud, awful to look at and oh-so-dumb.With Superman (Henry Cavill) dead, and the world facing yet another devastating threat (yawn) this time at the hands of some ancient creature named Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds) and his army of giant alien mosquitoes, which look like Saturday morning Power Rangers villains, Batman/Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman/Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) go in search of some new recruits: Barry Allen/The Flash (Ezra Miller), a quippy "kid" who's excited to join the team; Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Jason Momoa) who talks like a surfer bro and looks like a Nordic bodybuilder with ombre locks and fishermen's knits; And Victor Stone/Cyborg (Ray Fisher), who is still in the sulky "why me" phase of his superhero career.There are some good moments, thanks in large part to the addition of Miller, whose quick, self-deprecating humor (likely the result of Joss Whedon's script and reshoot work) and general liveliness steals scenes away from his brawnier and moodier counterparts.But everything else about "Justice League" feels labored, from a preposterous underwater battle that comes out of nowhere and the camaraderie between the superheroes that never clicks into place, to Batman's lumbering gait (does the batsuit weigh 300 pounds?) and Superman's mouth which looks a little...off. It's likely because the production had to digitally remove Cavill's "Mission: Impossible 6" mustache for re-shoots. After experiencing this unnaturally altered face on the big screen, it seems like the worst possible compromise.And never has it been so obvious that the character of Wonder Woman is now being presented through a man's eyes. Snyder chooses on multiple occasions to let the shot linger on Gadot's figure, whether panning up her legs unnecessarily to get to a normal scene of dialogue or making sure that the camera is there to capture the moment when her skirt flies up in an action sequence. It is, quite frankly, gross and a wildly disappointing departure from what Patty Jenkins was able to accomplish with the character earlier this year.There's even an attempt to humanize the potential destruction with a random impoverished Eastern European family struggling to defend their homestead. The story focuses in on the family's young daughter, who, in braided pigtails picks up a can of bug spray as a defense. You'd think that this might come back and provide an opportunity for her to a) see and be inspired by Wonder Woman in action or b) at least get saved by her. It would be so obvious. But they don't even meet.It's just a tiny example of how "Justice League" feels like a bunch of disconnected moments with no governing theory behind it other than the fact that this movie has to come at this time to introduce audiences to characters whose stand-alone movies have already been promised to shareholders.It's not too late to re-think this whole thing and start over. Just keep Gadot around, please."Justice League," a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sequences of sci-fi violence and action." Running time: 121 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.___MPAA Definition of PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned.

The Thor films were never as popular as Iron Man, and didn't gain steam like Captain America. They were perhaps a little too serious and a little too dull — none of which was the fault of star Chris Hemsworth, whose performances in the role have been so seamless and charming that he almost doesn't get enough credit.But "Thor: Ragnarok" has been touted as a different take on the God of Thunder. Marvel Studios and The Walt Disney Co. signed up a voice-y director in New Zealand's Taika Waititi, whose riotous vampire mockumentary "What We Do In The Shadows" displayed a unique comedic sensibility. They took away Thor's hammer, gave him a haircut, added some Led Zeppelin and told the set designer the more neon rainbows the better.The results are pretty decent, though perhaps not the total departure that had been hyped.The bones of the story are preposterous as ever. It turns out Thor has a long lost older sister, Hela (Cate Blanchett), who his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins, who appears to have shot for about two hours) locked away because she was so dangerous. An event happens that releases Hela to the world. She's really strong, like stronger than Thor strong, and really angry and basically punches Thor into another dimension and she heads off to Asgard to take the throne.The movie literally splits in two at this point. Poor Blanchett, who has gone full vamp as Hela, is good as always but how lame it must be to be in the "fun" Thor movie and have to play one of the most blandly written villains ever. While she's off waging her deathly serious takeover, Thor gets to join an irreverent comedy sideshow on the planet Sakaar — a sort of wasteland at the end of the universe run by a Grade-A weirdo who calls himself Grandmaster, played, fittingly, by Jeff Goldblum.It's this section that is pretty amusing and where Waititi's irreverence really gets to shine with pratfalls and witty writing. It's no surprise that this is right up Goldblum's alley, but the real delight is Hemsworth who knows just how to subvert the Thor character without turning him into a total mockery. He's a real comedic talent, which audiences got a taste of in "Ghostbusters." And Tessa Thompson is fantastic as Valkyrie, a hard drinkin' fighter with a secret past she'd rather forget.I imagine "Thor: Ragnarok" is one that might improve on subsequent viewings, when you have a chance to relax with the jokes divorced from the pressure of juggling the silly/serious plot. But it's a fairly flawed movie on the whole with egregious tonal shifts. Some of the gags go on too long with the Hulk with too little payoff and sometimes it seems as though there's a mandate that every 25 minutes there will be a big fight no matter what. One particular army of the dead sequence seemed like it could have been lifted from a "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie — which is not the most flattering comparison.While Waititi's energy and wit is apparent in the film, it still feels as though he had to operate from the same Marvel "base flavor" and was allowed on occasion to sprinkle a few of his own original toppings on."Thor: Ragnarok" is the most fun of the Thor movies by a long shot, but it is still very much a Thor movie for better or worse."Thor," a Walt Disney Studios release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and brief suggestive material." Running time: 130 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.___MPAA Definition of PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned.

You cringe along with his parents as he disappears into a sea of fifth graders as they say a quiet prayer: "Dear God, please let them be nice to him."His parents, Nate (Owen Wilson) and Isabel (Julia Roberts), who have sheltered Auggie, know they have to let him wade into those treacherous middle school waters. It might be rough, scared, hard and hurtful, but without the risk, there would be no reward.If this were just the tale of Auggie's trials in the fifth grade as a new kid who's visibly different, the film would be a heartwarming, possibly syrupy-sweet trifle of a tale. But what you come to discover about "Wonder" is it's much more than just a story of one person overcoming adversity or physical setbacks. Adapted from R.J. Palacio's book, co-written and directed by Stephen Chbosky, "Wonder" is a story that's enormously generous of perspective.This isn't just Auggie's story and Auggie's experience, it's the story of so many people around him: his sister Via (Izabela Vidovic), his friend Jack Will (Noah Jupe), even his sister's estranged best friend Miranda (Danielle Rose Russell). Frequently, we cut away from Auggie's narration and are shown the experiences of those around him, titled with chapter headings, with their own voices explaining their interpretations of events. It does get a bit messy at times, jumping into and out of perspectives, and the stories are spread a bit thin, rather than delving deeply.However, sharing the point of view is a smart way to illustrate the ways in which friendships are complicated by our own projections, assumptions, miscommunications and slights. While Auggie certainly has a more outwardly obvious struggle, everyone around him is struggling in their own way. And Auggie isn't perfect, either. He's a young boy dealing with an immensely difficult situation, but the world doesn't always revolve around him, and he needs to be gently reminded of that sometimes.The film also smartly undercuts its own sentimentality, never dwelling too long in the pathos or poignancy, cutting the tension with a typically 10-year-old burp or fart joke. It's likely you will cry, but you won't feel manipulated into doing so — those tears are rightfully earned.The glue that holds the film together is the wonderfully warm Roberts, who even unleashes her signature laugh for a moment. She does most of the emotive heavy lifting, but, Vidovic, as Auggie's sister Via, is a wonder herself, expressing wordlessly the burden of a sibling who doesn't need as much attention as her brother, but hopes for some anyway. Jupe is a young star on the rise, and he's extremely sensitive as the friend who learns that standing up for others means standing up for himself.The messages of "Wonder," woven throughout by the actions of the characters, and as "precepts" outlined by teacher Mr. Browne (Daveed Diggs) are ones we should all take to heart: to choose kindness, and to define ourselves through our deeds. These ideas are earnest, yes, and heartfelt. We could all stand to grant a little kindness to ourselves and others right about now.———'WONDER'3 starsCast: Jacob Tremblay, Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Noah Jupe, Izabela Vidovic.Directed by Stephen Chbosky.Running time: 1 hour, 53 minutes.Rated PG for thematic elements including bullying, and some mild language.———©2017 Tribune Content Agency, LLCDistributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC. 4 Movie review: Daddy's Home 2 delightful at times, but some beats miss their mark Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service Nov 15, 2017 This surreal and silly sequel to the hit 2015 comedy skates on the well-known but still-appealing comic personas of stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg and their zany chemistry.Co-writer and director Sean Anders returns to helm the family comedy and doubles down on the dads. While milquetoast sweetie stepdad Brad (Ferrell) managed to exert his sensitive, progressive influence on tough guy Dusty (Wahlberg), it's a whole new ballgame when their fathers come to town. Jon Lithgow is brilliantly cast as Brad's dad, Don, aka Pop Pop, a chatty retired mailman with cookies in his pocket. Then there's Dusty's father, Kurt (Mel Gibson), who goes by "El Padre" with the kids and is a womanizing, virulently macho astronaut who keeps trying to give his grandchildren guns for Christmas.The secret sauce that makes the "Daddy's Home" films work is the strange brew of chemistry between Wahlberg and Ferrell. Wahlberg is his breathy, exasperated self, while Ferrell executes his naive oaf routine he does so well, lending his clumsy physicality to all manner of bodily injury, accidents and mishaps. Christmas, of course, lends itself well to the repeated power tool gags that Brad gets into, with snow blowers and lights and chainsaws and cellphone towers.With the added dads around, those antics become frantic. The mania produced by four warring dads, two moms and several precocious kids means the film almost never stops to breathe or let a bit run its full course. There's a genius thermostat dad joke that would have been that much funnier with more time, but the film zips through jokes and plot points to fit them all in.Lithgow's character is so delightfully conceived and performed with many tiny perfect details that Don practically deserves a spinoff sitcom. The soft underbelly of the "Daddy's Home" movies is celebrating softer male emotion and sensitivity, and Don is the perfect representation of how that makes people around him feel warm and happy. That progressive idea needs a foil, something to bump up against, which is represented by the toxic, macho swagger of Kurt. The casting of Gibson is pretty perfect for that, but you have to wonder if he's totally in on the joke.Kurt is the villain of the film, encouraging violence between the dads and aggressive sexuality on little Dylan (Owen Vaccaro), who has his first crush. He gives obviously egregiously bad advice, urging his grandson to kiss the girl he likes and "smack her on the caboose." But the film wants to have it both ways, playing it for laughs. The casual sexual harassment incites groans instead (Gibson's background doesn't help). While Brad lectures on the "friend zone," he manages to skip actually talking about consent."Daddy's Home 2" has its highs and lows. There are moments when it's deliriously silly and delightful, and others where it misses the mark, lacking the consistency of the first film. And while at times it feels like too many dads, they eventually all learn to "co-dad," in some kind of harmony. 5 Movie trailer: The Star Nov 15, 2017 A tenacious little donkey and his newfound friends follow a bright light in the sky and become part of the first Christmas in this animated fable.

Directed by Timothy Reckart. (1:26) NR. 6 Movie review: In 'Murder on the Orient Express,' Branagh's Poirot takes us on a fun ride (until things get bumpy) Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service (TNS) Nov 15, 2017 Agatha Christie's 1934 mystery novel "Murder on the Orient Express" was memorably adapted to film in 1974, with Albert Finney playing the fastidious Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Now, Sir Kenneth Branagh slips into Poirot's signature splendid mustache in a star-studded, big-budget remake, which he has also directed.The way he tears into the performance, with an elegant vigor, it seems as though Branagh has been waiting his whole life to age into the role of Poirot, clearly relishing the blend of quirky meticulousness — one could call it obsessive-compulsiveness — and cheeky humor. He runs away with the picture, both as star and director, with lavish production design and an intoxicating and dazzling display of cinematic style.The murder mystery set aboard a train from Istanbul to Calais is the kind of old-fashioned romp we don't often see anymore, executed with a thoroughly modern sense of verve and rhythm. An opening prologue set in Jerusalem concerning a missing religious relic shows us Poirot's unique methods, as well as lays out the spritely, agile pace and warm humor that pervades Poirot's presence. Despite his dealings with dastardly doings, Poirot maintains a sense of dignity and cheer. He's truly funny — this is a man who wears an elaborate sleeping mask on his mustache and giggles incessantly at Dickens — but he does take crime very seriously.Poirot's hoping for a vacation, but alas, that's not to be. When he runs into an old pal in Istanbul (while marveling over an array of breads — this man loves his baked goods), he secures passage aboard a luxury sleeper train, soon to become a crime scene. Through a series of dizzyingly complicated long shots, we're introduced to all our main characters in the train station as they board, the characteristics and clues flying fast and furiously.As for the stars in "star-studded," we've got well-regarded favorites — Michelle Pfeiffer as a cougarish husband hunter, Judi Dench as a Russian princess, Penelope Cruz as a severe missionary, Willem Dafoe as an Austrian professor and Johnny Depp appropriately cast as a dirt bag gangster and obvious villain. Joining them are up-and-comers Daisy Ridley as an international governess, Leslie Odom, Jr., as a noble doctor, Sergei Polunin and Lucy Boynton as a reclusive Count and Contessa, and Josh Gad as the gangster's secretary. When the murder is discovered, Poirot is pressed into duty, and all passengers become suspects.Those who have read the book or know the original film will know the twists and turns of the mystery, but it's not worth spoiling for those who are new to the story. The pop and fizz of the opening, and the lush production are utterly transporting and will make you crave a croissant, a coupe of champagne and a long trip on a luxury train through a wintry landscape.But as the mystery deepens, reveals itself and grows darker, it becomes sad, delving into the aftermath of trauma and how it reveals itself. No longer a romp, all of the energy that Branagh starts out with drains like blood out of a corpse, leaving the film ultimately cold to the touch. The beginning is a rollicking ride that will likely leave audiences craving more Christie, and here's hoping we do see Branagh return as Poirot — his rendition is too fun to be cut short.———'MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS'3 starsCast: Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp, Judi Dench, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penelope Cruz, Daisy Ridley, Josh Gad, Leslie Odom, Jr., Willem DafoeDirected by Kenneth BranaghRunning time: 1 hour, 54 minutesRated PG-13 for violence and thematic elements.———©2017 Tribune Content Agency, LLCDistributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC. 7 Movie guide: What's opening in Hollywood this week and Critics' Choices Nov 15, 2017 Ratings by the Motion Picture Association of America are: (G) for general audiences; (PG) parental guidance urged because of material possibly unsuitable for children; (PG-13) parents are strongly cautioned to give guidance for attendance of children younger than 13; (R) restricted, younger than 17 admitted only with parent or adult guardian; (NC-17) no one 17 and younger admitted.———(Critics' Choices capsule reviews are by Kenneth Turan (K.Tu.), Justin Chang (J.C.) and other reviewers.

Who cares? Not to be crude, but Inside Llewyn Davis is a low-budget character study from the Coen Brothers, with almost no real star power outside of small roles for "not-box office" names like Carey Mulligan and John Goodman (Justin Timberlake has a glorified cameo). The star, Oscar Isaac, is an unknown outside of Hollywood circles. This is far more along the lines of A Serious Man than True Grit. This isn't going to be another Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
CBS Films paid $4 million for distribution rights and anything over $10 million would be glorified gravy. This is clearly a "one for me" Coen Brothers film coming off the sky-high ($252m worldwide) success of True Grit back in 2010. As such, this is more about the art, and possibly the awards consideration, than the commerce. CBS Films is relatively new to the film distribution business, so I'd argue this acquisition was as much about prestige as anything else.
Still, Inside Lewyn Davis is an investment, and investment returned means investment offered again the next time out. As is often the case with films like this at the end of the year, the fact that we get to see them is the victory, with any potential profits merely being icing on the cake.
The Review:
Inside Llewyn Davis is a sad and somber comedy, or an occasionally hilarious drama, depending on how you choose to classify it. It may be the Coen Brothers playing well inside their comfort zone, but what a fine and thoughtful comfort zone it is. Like a number of their iconic pictures, it concerns a man who can't stop from being his own worst enemy, along with the constant drive to keep trying so as to not have to admit failure.
It is telling that the film is set in the world of 1960's folk music, as the Coen Brothers have slowly built up a reputation as perhaps the preeminent tellers of genuine folktales in Hollywood. It's an uncompromising look at a man on the verge of self-destruction, both financially and spiritually, yet it remains oddly light and warm throughout. The picture concerns the exploits of Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac), once part of a somewhat successful singing duo but now adrift as a solo act and burning bridges everywhere he goes.
He is already broke and homeless, drifting from one couch to another, and at the precipice of having to decide whether to keep trying or pack it in and opt for "plan B". It's a point that every person in a given artistic or athletic profession finds themselves in at some point unless the iron strikes early. This is of course all-the-more painful for those who have the talent but lack only the luck of that "big break" even as those around them seem to find their artistic niche.
The constant irony of the story is that Davis has genuine talent, yet constantly sabotages himself in implicit and explicit ways. The scenes where Isaac just plays his guitar and sings on a stage are magnetic (I imagine the soundtrack will be a hot seller among film buffs), and that he so obviously commands his craft makes it all the harder to just pack it up.
There is an old concept that deals with continuing down a failing path so that we don't have to admit that the time and money spent on said failing path was in-fact a failure (like betting another $1,000 at the poker table so you don't have to write off the $500 you already lost). Inside Llewyn Davis is an ode of sorts to that completely understandable yet often self-destructive impulse. It's also a thoughtful and empathetic human drama and character study of the highest order. It is filled with great performances (Mulligan is terrific) and fine music to accompany it.
It is indeed a fine American folktale set to fine American folk music. Bruno Delbonnel's cinematography is splendid, capturing the captivating yet uninviting bustle of 1960's New York. It has moments of powerful honesty, such as a somewhat jolting monologue delivered by F. Murray Abraham somewhat late in the game, and just a few moments of unexpected warmth.
It is yet another fine achievement by Ethan and Joel Coen, two once quirky filmmakers who have remained true to themselves while slowly becoming genuinely iconic American storytellers.

Stamford/Westhill/Staples closing in on state playoff berth
Published 7:20 pm, Wednesday, February 12, 2014
STAMFORD-- The fact that the Stamford/Westhill/Staples girls ice hockey team has even an outside shot to make the state tournament this late in the season is a testament to how far the co-op has come in its short existence.
Stamford's postseason hopes were kept alive with three games left in the regular season behind an all-around team effort.
Meg Fay scored twice and Rachel Stanford added an empty-net goal with 42 seconds left as Stamford/Westhill/Staples held off Notre Dame-Fairfield 4-2 Wednesday on Senior Night at Terry Conners Rink. The win was the second over the Lancers this season and improved Stamford's record to 6-9.
"It feels good," Stamford coach Eli Williams said. "The girls have come a long way; it's a credit to those that came here previously, and the coaching staff has been phenomenal. With those two things and girls that work hard good things can happen."
As a result of injuries to its defensive core, Stamford moved Staples' Fay to defense roughly halfway during the season and the talented goal scorer hasn't missed a beat.
"We had a bunch of injuries to our defense that depleted us," Williams said. "(Fay) sees the ice very well, she's smart, and when you take those two things and can skate like the wind good things are going to happen."
After the teams traded goals in the first period, Stamford took control of the game in the second. Fay scored two goals five minutes apart in virtually the same manner; carrying the puck past the entire Lancers defense before crashing the net on her own shot to poke home the rebound.
As a result of switching to defense, Fay can stay on the ice longer and have an even greater impact on the team.
"It's definitely less skating, sometimes I bring the puck up for us, but it's been good, I like every position," Fay said.
The Lancers dominated most of the third period in an attempt to get back into the game. Notre Dame outshot the hosts 13-5, attacking Stamford goalie Casey Bang (23 saves) at every angle.
"A lot of things weren't going our way," Notre Dame assistant Jennifer Schell said. "We weren't getting shots off, we didn't have our heads in the game to start, we were worried about their senior night and we weren't focused on what we needed to get done. We stepped up big in the third period like we wanted to."
Lancers forward Jasmine Gaudreau scored with 2:42 left to cut the deficit to 3-2, but Stamford held firm and didn't allow another quality chance on goal. The visitors pulled the goalie with a minute left and moments later Stanford netted the game-clincher.
"We didn't give up," Williams said. "We stayed confident during the whole thing, we had a little lull and the girls just kept going."
Notre Dame (5-10-2) has two games left on its schedule, both against West Haven.
"We definitely wanted to get this one because they had beat us (3-2 Dec. 30)," Schell said. "We have two games against West Haven on their senior night (Feb. 14) and on ours (Feb. 19), so hopefully they are two wins."

Advertising a standardized product in local and global marketplace lead companies to talk with consumers of various languages and cultures, which plays a crucial role within the terms of globalisation of economies and trade intensification of a company. Within the framework of international marketing strategies, advertising plays a key role that will require an advertisement of your product to be translated from one language into main international languages which helps a company to create a product globally. In present decade Advertising Translation is recognized as Advertising Localization. The translation of Advertisement can be done by consulting a translation specialist having a large expertise in advertising adaptation. By this a company can publish its products within the surrounding towns, countries or all over the world.
An Advertising Translation campaigns includes adapting the company's communication by using socio-cultural component and politico-legal component into an account. The relevance and influence of those components are incredibly varied according to regions and nations. The problem, that is at the heart of multilingual communication in this globalized era, is all about managing cultural differences between the different hosting countries of a single Advertising Translation campaign. Within this context, the translator plays an integral role in the adaptation of the communication campaign. Beside his role as a translator from the speech, he must ensure that the socio-cultural restrictions that's mainly concerning about culture issues and society. Localization of international Advertising Translation campaign consists of adapting the company's communication to the specificities of the local environment with the hosting countries targeted with the campaign. Localization shows what sort of interaction between the translation itself and the cultural factors from the targeted market takes place inside the commercial communication.
An Advertising translation raises the sales and peoples attention where people can recognize an item in the market around the world. For Example: Arabic Advertising company may have Arabic translators, these translators can translate an Arabic Advertisement into main international languages develops interest of the prospective customers within the product globally. The controversy between the upholders of global standardization and people of local adaptation will likely stay that way as long as the Earth is teeming with different languages and cultures. Nevertheless, the elements of this debate ought to be defined and elucidated briefly. International advertising consists of utilizing the same strategy of communication in all of the targeted countries. The advantage of this approach lies mainly within the economies of scale generated because of the standardization with the campaign.

I didnt play in Vanilla, but when I was running stratholme and ZG for mounts, I noticed that most of the loot was blue ... and I've already heard from people that played in Vanilla that epic really meant EPIC! I really wanted to feel that, I guess it will happen
Epic loot is like nothing at the moment, because you can do HCs all day and get T9 ... how epic is that? No, its not epic at all.
To be epic now means to have HC loot/legendary but still they made the legendaries quest rewards so you dont have to clear the raid everytime to beg it to drop when the drop chance is 1% or so...
I really like this post and I really hope it will become reality!

At some point, the "USB Video Class" got standardised and since then things like webcams have got easier. Maybe that also helps here. Certainly these things seem to only have a single chip in them, so there is more limited scope for OEMs to get it wrong. Actually a quick look along the shelves in Currys at lunchtime suggests that the more difficult aspect is getting one with a conventional aerial socket, rather than a microscopic connector for the supplied bent-paperclip antenna.

The major advantage of a geared motor conversion kit is that you are reducing the weight compared to direct drive motor and increasing the torque at the same time.The gear reduction of high efficiency high speed motor is capable to produce a torque equivalent to more than twice the same power of direct drive motor.Driven by a 12 Fet, 15A controller, the motor is capable of exerting 45Nm (33.2 foot pounds) of torque at a stall, more than a 500W direct drive motor.
The front wheel conversion will further reduce the total weight and although it is rated at 350W nominal power the amount of torque that produce makes it capable to climb much steeper hills and carry much heavier loads. The robust planetary gear reduction provides also a better acceleration than many 500W direct drive motors.
The lack of regen braking is cited by some direct-drive vendors as a disadvantage of gear-reduced motors. While the freewheel bearing does make regenerative braking impossible, the wasted braking wattage is more than offset by the more efficient acceleration.
The quality of the gear material the overall motor quality and the extensive tests we have performed give us confidence to back it up with two years warranty.

While the overall results for new vehicle sales last month weren't particularly surprising or impressive, there was a noteworthy result: Ford Motor Co. sold more vehicles in May than General Motors.
Not Ford outsold Chevy, but all of GM.
Ford said May sales rose 2.2% from a year ago to 241,126 units while GM sales dropped 1.3% to 237,364. Mark LaNeve, Ford sales chief, noted the shift earlier today, adding when Ford tops GM, which is not often, The reason is very simple: fleet sales. (more…)

RUTHERFORDTON, N.C. (AP) -- In a custody dispute, former members of The Word of Faith Fellowship accuse church leaders of restraining children and screaming prayers at them to drive out demons.
''I have seen children with bruises on their bodies, scratches made on their arms, fingernail marks on their arms,'' said former church member Sheri Nolan.
A hearing, expected to conclude Tuesday, will determine temporary custody of three children belonging to Ben and Pamela McGee. Ben McGee left the church and his wife in April; she remains a member. Their children range in age from 4 to 9.
The fellowship, with an estimated 300 to 400 members, was established in Rutherford County in 1978. Over the past decade, former members and neighbors have made allegations that church elders mistreated children and brainwashed congregants.
The State Bureau of Investigation examined the church five years ago after more than 40 former members told their stories to news organizations. The probe concluded without any charges.
Church elders acknowledged that children were paddled, but denied they were abused.

Famous Female Warriors...besides XenaBy: Neva Alexander
OK I love Xena and everything but she isn't the best female warrior (princess or otherwise) out there. Sorry I enjoy watching her kick ass as much as the other person but she is only fictional so here are a list of some great female warriors who where kicking butt before Xena even existed as an idea, and would give her a run for her money.
Nanny of the Maroons is Jamaica's first national hero. She is also the island's only female hero. Her story is one of resistance and leadership of the greatest kind She was a member of the Maroons, who were slaves bought from West Africa to the island by the Spanish. They escaped into the mountains and formed resistance movements first against the Spaniards, and later the English who became the new slave lords of the island, after beating the Spaniards.
When not beating the British; Nanny lead the Maroons as both spiritual leader and chief, making sure that they did not lose touch with the African Heritage and the freedom they were fighting hard to preserve. Legend had it that she had super natural powers as, she was a Obeah woman (Obeah is a native form of magic in Jamaica akin to Voodoo.) One of these powers was the ability to bounce bullets off her butt! Now that is what you call buns of steel!!. Nanny serves as an inspiration to Jamaican women and should serve as an inspiration to all women everywhere.
If Braveheart was around when she was she would have been his crazy Irish drinking buddy and a companion in battle instead of the other Irish person in the movie. Since she knew how to fight with a "Bobbitizer"/sword she definitely instilled fear in any man who even thought about committing d infidelity while in a relationship with her. She was very respected as both a warrior and a general and led many a successful raids and war parties against the English.
Calamity Jane was a woman that is as much a part of history as she is a part of folklore and legend. Her full name was Marthy Jane Cannary Burk. Her story is part Little House on the Prairie, part Tombstone. She was born in 1848 in Princeton Missouri and after her mother died the family moved to Nevada. At a very young age Calamity Jane earned a reputation for being not only a excellent marksman, but also possessing good horseback riding ability.
Calamity Jane got her nickname through a incident where she saved the life of a Army captain. At this time she was working for the military as a scout. The Army Captain she was under was engaged in a battle with the Native Americans who lived in the area. He and his troops were engaged in battle with warriors from this tribe and were getting decimated. Calamity Jane (Then know as plain ole Marthy Cannary) rode in on horse back scoped the captain up and rode away with the captain saving him from being annihilated along with the rest of his soldiers. After this incident the Captain christened her Calamity Jane. People forgot her real name and she became more famously known by her nickname. Another famous nickname that Calamity Jane became affiliated with was Wild Bill Hickock.
To this day nobody is quite sure as to the nature of their relationship. Whether they were a one night stand, a long term couple or even married is still debated. What is known is that when Wild Bill Hickock was murdered while playing poker (holding a dead man's hand none the less) she went after the killer with a butcher knife and held him captive until the sheriff came to arrest him. In addition to being a Scout for the US Army Calamity Jane was also a member of the Buffalo Express. She was also a entrepreneur running her own ranch and Hotel at one point. She was also a nurse in Deadwood North Dakota where they had a smallpox outbreak. After her death in 1902 she was buried beside her love Wild Bill Hickock.
Daughters of Vietnamese royalty who led a rebellion against China's Han Dynasty, had personal as well as political reasons for the rebellion. Vietnam had long been under the domination of China. This had began to affect the rights of Vietnamese women who lost many of their former rights under the Chinese system of government. When the Vietnamese began to rebel against these injustices, the Han Dynasty decided to make an example of the Trung sisters. The sister they chose to make an example of was Trung Trac's and she watched as her husband was killed. She was then brutally raped by the same Chinese General who had done the murder. After this incident the fight against the Chinese by the Trung sisters was not only political or for country but personal as well.
Getting together, the sisters organized an army. This army contained many female generals (one of whom was their mother!) and together with about 80,000 fellow Vietnamese they defeated the Chinese making Vietnam an independent country for the first time in 1000 years, gaining a measure of vengeance and justice for the mistreatment of Vietnamese women.
A sixteen year old teenager who inspired a country to give the English a much needed ass-whupping. Inspired by visions of saints Joan of Arc decided to save France which was in a familiar position, getting their butts kicked in a war. After being validated by the French King and the Clergy Joan was given a army and sent off to war. Although to be honest she was probably not the best military strategist Joan gave her troops something better than a victory plan, Hope, Confidence, and Vitality. The English who were laughing at the French for being led by a girl soon found themselves on the receiving end of a couple of ass-whuppings and military victories delivered by Joan of Arc. Unfortunately her story did not end well. She was captured and burned at the stake by the English for heresy and being a witch. However she was later rewarded by the French people by being canonized as their Patron saint.
As much mother and daughter as student and mentor, Wing Chun and Wing Mui changed the face of a male dominated Martial Arts world. Wing Mui was a Shaolin Priestess who like all other members would compete in tournaments between monasteries. As a result she would have to compete against very strong and very skilled men who had no gripes about hitting her. Now If you have missed the last two or 3 decades of Kung Fu movies then you might not know that the Shaolin priest were some of the most dangerous men that ever lived.
Elite Marines whose toughness and meanness are unquestioned, Navy Seals who can kill a man in a hundred different ways, 300 pound Body Builders who can bend iron bars, and your average football player sized/ basketball player tall bouncer wouldn't stand a chance!. Any of these men would be lucky if they made the fight last 5 seconds before they fell to the floor only to awaken a couple of weeks later from the coma they were beaten into. And the person who would be facing these dangerous man capable of this task, without even breaking a sweat, was a frail woman named Wing Mui.
Faced with this problem she went into the woods to think and meditate. She happened to witness (depending upon the account of the story) a Crane battling either a Fox or an Ape. Seeing this she got inspired and decided to combine the Crane and Snake styles of Kung fu along with her own ideas. And then when it came time to face some of the most dangerous men on the planet in no holds barred combat, she beat them like redheaded stepchildren! Wing Mui wasn't selfish with her ideas or gifts however. She became mentor to a woman who would also change the face of Martial Arts, Wing Chun.
Wing Chun
Wing Chun was a pretty teenager who was admired by all the men of her Province. One particular gentleman was an incredible Kung Fu fighter. From his actions it was obvious he had never having heard of flowers, candy , or any other romantic notion. His idea of a "romantic chase" was harassing and bullying her family into forcing her to marry him. Wing Chun avoided him, until finally having to leave for a year he made her an ultimatum. He said if Wing Chun could beat him when he came back in a year she wouldn't have to marry him .
Wing Chun was also a student of Kung Fu though not as good as he, Her fighting him would be like Sarah Michelle Gellar Vs. Jet Li no question who the winner would be. So seeking a way to take advantage of the time she had to practice for this fight she sought out the priestess Wing Mui who everyone had heard about at this point. Wing Mui accepted Wing Chun as her student but faced a problem in teaching her Kung Fu. Since she only had a year to teach her, she could not teach her everything so instead she taught her a bantam version of her style which while missing a few things still retained the power and grace that Wing Mui had perfected.
After the year ended Wing Chun returned to town to face her rude, overly aggressive, and unwanted, suitor. Needless to say he lost not only the fight but a lot of pride, cause she beat him, very very easily. Today both styles of Martial Arts originated by these women exist today, with Wing Chun being the mother style of Martial Arts legend Bruce Lee. He incorporated Wing Chun when he made his own system Jeet Kune Do.
"Born rebellious and died free" would sum up Harriet Tubman in a few words. However Harriet Tubman cannot be summed up in a few words. She was born in Maryland on a Plantation and was hired out at the age as 5 as slave labor From a early age she was rebellious and in her early teens suffered a major injury because of this. While attempting to aid a runaway slave Harriet was put in the hospital by a overseer who hit her in the head with a lead weight. She spent months in the hospital and for the rest of her life had to deal with blacking out.
Finally deciding to run away from the awful life of slavery Harriet escaped up north to Philadelphia. During the following years she rescued all her family members from slavery including her elderly parents who she settled in NY. In addition to her parents Harriet also rescued 300 slaves from captivity. During her trips she carried a six-shooter just in case she came across slave trackers or in case one of the escapees got nervous and wanted to go back. She once pulled her pistol on a nervous escapee and said "Be free or die!!."
In addition to being a member of the Underground railroad, Harriet Tubman was also a spy and scout for the Union Army. Being a master of disguise and having knowledge of the South's local terrain she was an incredible value to their war effort. She also participated in battle leading raids on various plantations.

Gavilan College Instructor Sue Dodd named SCOPE Educator of the Year
GILROY, CA - Susan Dodd began her teaching and coaching career at Gavilan College in September of 1976. Over 30 years career she made a lasting impression on not only her students, but faculty and staff as well. Today accolades came from her peers throughout the state. Susan Dodd has been recognized by the State Community College Organization of Physical Educators (SCOPE) as the 2007 SCOPE Educator of the Year. Dodd and four other instructors from around the state will be honored at an awards ceremony to take place in April.
Ron Hannon, Director of Athletics called the award "an incredible honor." His letter of nomination for Dodd's award stated "Her passion for teaching and connecting with her students is evident every day in the classroom. It doesn't seem to matter what it is she's teaching just give her someone that wants to learn, and she'll take care of the rest."

Over the next 16 years, she coached at least one sport every year including women's volleyball, basketball and softball. During the 80's she worked as the men's tennis coach for two years and in 1979, even filled in briefly as the head football coach. She has served the Physical Education & Athletics Department as the athletics director on three different occasions. In 1979, during her first stint as director, she was only one of two women overseeing an athletics department in the California Community College system. She has served as the department chair for the Physical Education Department for the past 13 years.
Dodd is also active in the community. She has been a member of the Gilroy Tennis Club ever since she moved to town 30 years ago. As a member of the club, she has volunteered as president, vice president and treasure, and has volunteered with the club at the Garlic Festival each year. She has also been the chair of the Garlic Tennis Tournament on four different occasions. In 1986, she was recognized by the Women's Fund of Santa Clara County, receiving a Woman of Achievement award. She also received a Courageous Leader award from Gavilan College's Board of Trustees in 1997. In 1997-98, she was honored by her peers as Full-Time Teacher of the Year at Gavilan College.

Jerry Jones entered this season hoping his new $1.2 billion palace would bring the best out of his players.
While they lost the opener to the Giants, the Cowboys have rebounded to win their last three at Cowboys Stadium.
The Redskins, meanwhile, are 0-4 on the road. Still, Washington should be plenty fired up to become the second division foe to dance out of Arlington with a win.
"That's the first thing I thought about when going to Dallas, 'Man, I get a chance to play in the new stadium,' " Redskins receiver Santana Moss said. "Just to see it–I'm looking forward to seeing what's it all about. It looks nice on TV. You get mesmerized.
"I remember seeing the first game (on TV), you had cheerleaders dancing on platforms. I was like, 'Wow.' You look forward to it. You look forward to it mostly knowing that it's a rivalry game."

Pension reform effort in Southern California ends abruptly
Los Angeles City Hall (Photo Credit: Steve Lyon/Flickr)
Voters in the cities of San Jose and San Diego made history this year. In June, they became the first cities to pass ballot initiatives designed to balance local budgets by cutting retirement benefits for city workers.
A former Los Angeles mayor was trying to make the City of Angels the next to follow, but it appears he has thrown up the white flag and surrendered, at least for now.
Richard Riordan was hoping to gather 300,000 signatures by December 28 to qualify the ballot measure in the spring. The campaign was called "Save Los Angeles."
According to a statement from campaign spokesman John Schwada, "Riordan recently concluded that the December 28 deadline cannot be met."
Riordan had said he created the proposal because he is concerned Los Angeles' out-of-control pension costs will lead the city to bankruptcy.
Save Los Angeles would require current workers to immediately begin paying more toward pensions and switching new workers to a 401(k) style plan. He was pushing for a May ballot measure.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said,"I have long appreciated Mayor Richard Riordan's love for the City of Los Angeles and his efforts to keep it strong. Most people concluded, however, that his pension reform proposal went too far and would have cost the City more money than the current system."
That's exactly why many unions strongly opposed the proposal, which was introduced in October.
"When we pointed out that this flawed plan wasn't based on real numbers, would be more costly and force dedicated city workers to retire into poverty after 30 years of service, Angelinos responded," said President of AFSCME Local 3090 and Coalition of L.A. City Unions member Alice Goff.
It appears labor unions are celebrating this latest win.
"It's a very significant victory for organized labor. After the passage of initiatives in San Jose and San Diego, earlier this year, it's clear that organized labor in Los Angeles was ready for this challenge and they mobilized to stop it in a way labor wasn't able to do it in those other two cities," said Dan Schnur, director Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at USC. "That said, the issue isn't going away and the next mayor is going to have to deal with it."
"This is a huge win for unions in Los Angeles," said Dr. Fernando Guerra, director of the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Center for the Study of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University. "It just shows that unions are the best organized political actors in L.A. and that they are a power to contend with and that they have a variety of different options that are available to them that are not available to most interest groups. Almost no other group could have tried the strategy that they tried—and that is to go and meet where the signature gatherers for the pension reform were and thwart that. Nobody else could have done that."
While the campaign has been suspended, Riordan said he is not done.
Riordan's call-to-action to city leaders and union members is this: Meet over the next several months to save the city from bankruptcy and drastic cuts to city services.
"In retrospect, waiting until after the mayoral election for a ballot initiative may end up being a more effective strategy," said Schnur. "If the initiative is on the ballot with mayoral candidates who oppose it, then the discussion could get marginalized. But a newly elected mayor who's forced to deal with a pension's crisis might be more immutable to a discussion over pension reform than a candidate who's trying to get elected."
"These conversations will dominate the first year of the new mayor's term in office," said Dr. Guerra. "It's going to be a priority to deal with it, but not in the way Mayor Riordan was proposing. There is no way that the new mayor can avoid dealing with the number one issue impacting the budget of LA because city government will be so limited in terms of what they can do, because it will impact the continuing hiring of individuals, police employment, as well as city services so this cannot be avoided."
Addressing the complex pension issue will only benefit from the additional time afforded by Riordon's setback, some would argue.
"What cities are going through generally, the city of Los Angeles one of them, is trying to figure out how to finance pensions over time both in respect to employers and employees," said Fred Silva, California Forward's Senior Fiscal Policy Advisor. "It's left to collective bargaining what path people should take. Usually when cities are converting to a different system, there are a whole lot of transition issues that need to be thought out. The initiative process is a very blunt instrument, people need to sit down, take a deep breath and see how they want to move forward. The city of Los Angles is on the right path in figuring out how to get people together to solve this issue."

I look forward to reading your mapping history.
Once you know your way around the editor, mapping becomes a pleasure ... even more so than playing.
Trying to write a blog about personal mapping history, only to realise that my Far Cry year (2016) lacks so much data.
Well, at least I have some pictures, albeit without precise dates.
Pretty funny that that the 1.43 patch is the most popular download on the main screen, but yet the file is not even there. Guess members just keep clicking on it in hopes it will be there some day. Hope some day Tnlgg will be able to clean up the entire Crymods site of "file not found" stuff.
@9dan28 - Your best bet is probably to private message Tnlgg directly for instructions.
Hello, guys! How to add my map to the list of singleplayer levels?
Thanks Vet. It is probably my computer or connection. I tried it again and it stopped at 200 Megs this time and said the download load was completed. I ran the unzipper and the same fatal error message popped up.
I played GC again after months of rest and it is still a very fun mod to play. Never seem to get bored of it.
I got the GunCollection mod downloaded here OK, must have been a temporary issue with the internets.
El is busy with El Camino sp_map atm. When the other two levels of AbandonedTown are ready, it will all be made into a mod.
I haven't heard about EL for a while.
I was actively mapping few weeks ago and I got a little sick of it. Now I'm working on other project but I'll come back as soon as I get a mood to map.
The main map is in EL's command. I'm making the pool map and a third one I won't talk about. The pool is almost finished. The third one is still missing the last part and few VisAreas.
Btw, I'm going to Chernobyl in two weeks. I will place some of my photos into the mod.
Vikom and El, just wondering how the AbadonedTown mod is coming along?
I was able to download and unzip both GC and SF fine from ModDb. So looks like some is not right here. Maybe some can try and download them from here and see what happens to them.
Having problems downloading the just posted GC and Syphon filter mods. Download starts Ok on both, then around 80 Megs, it says file download completed. I unzip the file and run the install and it gives me an error message. Small files seem to download and run find. Anyone else having this problem or is it just me ??
VET's Gun Collection Mod (GC) is now available here for download. It is in the Single Player Mod section.
It has been out for a few months now at ModDB, so if anyone has comments about it, please feel free to make them here.
Happy International Women Day.
Today I brought flowers to school for every girl in my class, and the teachers we had today. I earned the nickname "Sweetheart". Lol.
Hi all, been creeping around here lately. Just so cool that you guys are still around and still supporting a true classic. Props to all modders who have come such a long way!

Noire Miami's New Years Eve party guide to ring in 2014
New Years Eve celebrations in Miami can be as simple as catching free fireworks along Ocean Drive and watching The Big Orange drop from Bayfront Park to dishing out upwards of at least $800 just to get in the door for the Robin Thicke party at Hyde Beach to $150,000 for the deluxe VIP table to party with Lil Wayne and friends at Cameo Nightclub.

These are just great - oversized, thick but crisp out edges with densely chewy centers. Best of all, they feature wonderful, slightly crackly tops and look like they were plucked out of a general store cookie jar. You can also make them smaller but these large versions - about 3 inches diameter, are dynamite. All butter is better of course but part shortening, in these cookies, makes them commercial - sad but true.....

Back in March Intel dismissed rumours that it had swooped for Aepona, which specialises in cloud-based telecom network solutions. But today it seems that Intel really was involved in one of the largest technology deals ever seen in Ireland.
Co-founded by Dublin entrepreneur Gilbert Little, Aepona recently leased the second floor of the new £15m tower block The Soloist at Lanyon Place on Belfast's waterfront. It hires employing around 70 people but has raised tens of millions of dollars in financial backing over the past ten years from funders including Canada's Blackberry telecoms group and German software giant which no one is sure what it does SAP.
Aepona generated revenue of $39.2m (£25.7m) in 2011 and made a $1.2m (£790,000) operating profit.

Heeeeeeeeeeere's Bankruptcy! Broke Ed McMahon Keeps a Positive Outlook While Creditors Loom
Screw the oil market — look no further than the flagging fortunes of American icon Ed McMahon for an uncanny barometer of our nation's volatile economy. The man whose face in your mailbox once reflected decades of surging domestic wealth has reportedly suffered a financial decline mirroring our war-addled vortex of national debt: $1.5 million, to be exact, half of which is owed to American Express, with another $644,000 owing on a palatial house he can't seem to unload:
Some potential buyers have been scared off by the area, which boasts such celebrity neighbors as George Clooney and Britney Spears, who ironically gained fame on McMahon's Star Search. Alex Davis, McMahon's real estate agent, told the Associated Press, "When we were trying to sell the house one time, there were about 100 paparazzi there."
Nevertheless, despite his current cash calamities, McMahon's rep said his client has "always been optimistic, and he remains optimistic that something good will happen."
McMahon's generosity hasn't helped, either, with the gregarious 85-year-old WWII vet's hotel-gratuity and wife-investment pastimes having finally caught up with him. Nevertheless, expect a volunteer crew of Hollywood philanthropists led by Eli Broad and David Geffen to parking their own Prize Van at McMahon's doorstep, borrowing one of the neighboring paparazzi and presenting a balloon bouquet and an oversized check to the TV legend. Let the healing begin, America!

COLOMBIANA. Capital Region movie buffs know Zoe Saldana for her role as Cassie in Tennyson Bardwell's horror film "The Skeptic," which was filmed in Saratoga Springs and released in 2009, the same year the rest of the world saw her in "Star Trek" and "Avatar." In this action flick, she plays a killer out for revenge against the drug lord who killed her parents. It isn't being screened for critics, which is sometimes a bad sign. (Rated PG-13 for violence, disturbing images, intense sequences of action, sexuality and brief strong language.) http://www.colombiana-movie.com
DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth") wrote and produced this big-screen remake of a 1973 British TV movie, about a little girl (Bailee Madison) whose parents (Guy Pearce and Katie Holmes) don't believe her when she tells them there all sorts of nasty creatures hiding in the basement of their new home. (R for violence and terror.) http://www.dontbeafraidofthedark.com
OUR IDIOT BROTHER. Paul Rudd stars as a guy who does everything he can to make life hell for his three sisters (Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer). (R for sexual content including nudity, and for language throughout.) http://www.ouridiotbrother.com
SARAH'S KEY. Kristin Scott Thomas stars as a modern-day American journalist working in France, when she learns that her husband's family's apartment was previously inhabited by a French-Jewish family evicted and deported during the notorious 1942 Vel' d'Hiv Roundup. (PG-13 for thematic material including disturbing situations involving the Holocaust.) http://www.sarahskey.com.au
THE DEBT. A secret Mossad mission in the 1960s to capture a Nazi war criminal leads to shocking revelations in the 1990s. The thriller jumps across the two time periods with Sam Worthington, and Jessica Chastain in the '60s, and Helen Mirren and Tom Wilkinson in the '90s. Directed by John Madden. (R for some violence and language.) http://www.focusfeatures.com/the_debt
