Johannes.bruder needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 372 designs submitted by 72 freelance designers.
- GetUpp is a new web 2.0 application (website/app) that allows its users to publicly commit to various activities (eg exercising or studying). It's remotely similar to imoveyou.com… but much more fun ;)
- GetUpp is challenging, fun and supportive, but it's not silly or goofy: we are serious and really want to help people who find it hard to turn good intentions into action.
- Importantly, GetUpp is all about your friends and mutual support/challenges/motivation.
- Our attitude: challenging, fun, simple, friendly and (most importantly) absolutely incorruptible.
- GetUpp will serve a global consumer audience, but please think especially on folks in the US and Western Europe.
- We love: ambitious, active and playful people with lots of friends; people who do not take themselves too serious; Facebook users (very important) that are hard to separate from their iPhones (very important)
- We are looking for a simple, elegant and iconic web 2.0 logo.
- We are big fans of isometric perspectives.
- We like logos that focus on the brand name (e.g. logos of Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Google, Gowalla, Sykpe).
- Nevertheless, a small memorable graphic/icon next to the brand name "getupp" is very much welcome (think of the whrrl.com logo). Such a graphic should cover a square/circular area (App/Facebook ready), summarize the service (motivate and push people) and work on different scales (App icon 57x57, Facebook index 75x75, and Facebook mini icons 16x16).
- You might want to think about symbols that summarize motivation and action: for example, a hand with a needle that stings you, an old-school ball-like comic bomb with a burning fuse, a warning sign with a crossed out couch... but not feel restricted.
- Feel free to experiment with uppercase and lowercase letters (getupp, Getupp, GetUpp, getUpp, GETUPP asf). You might want to experiment with exclamation marks, small caps etc.
- The typeface should be clear, modern and simple. Nothing too techy please.
- When you're in doubt whether to pursue a more playful solution or a simpler, more elegant solution, choose the latter.
- The name "getupp" must be clearly readable, i.e. one should be able to easily gather the correct spelling of "getupp" just from the logo.
- Overall, a horizontal format is preferred (top menu bars, banner spaces).
- Please feel free to experiment with colors, but make sure your entry works on a bright background.
- We require a print file format (.ai) and a web file format (layered .psd).
- Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

As was stated, if you want to know the current 4 banger, pull the prop and look on the hub.
My 1990 190 with powerslot trans has a ACME 4blade 14x20. Top Speed right at 50mph. I'm not sure what would have been installed from the factory.
I do have an additional 3 blade that came with the boat but I'm not sure of the size. The dealer that I boat the boat from said that they installed the new 4 blade because the boat was turning 5600rpms with the 3 blade. I have yet to run the prop to confirm rpms and speed.

The former mayor of Racine has been released from prison after serving time for sexual assault of a child and child enticement.
Gary Becker is back in Racine, living about two blocks from an elementary school. State Department of Corrections officials have confirmed his release and his new address.
Becker was mayor from April 2003 until January 2009. He is now a registered sex offender. Neighbors aren't happy Becker is living on their block.
Alex Marquez, father of two, tells The Journal Times the state should have let neighbors know Becker was moving in.
The former mayor will be on extended supervision for five years. He cannot have contact with minors.

GASTONIA � Gaston County is getting plenty of criticism from those upset by the county's decision to euthanize 144 Canada geese at a park.
Officials say the flock had become such a nuisance at the park in Dallas that they had no choice but to remove them.
Parks and Recreation Director Cathy Hart said the U.S. Department of Agriculture helped retrieve the geese Tuesday and humanely euthanized them.
Hart said the birds left droppings on and around the park's ponds, athletic fields, picnic areas, walkways, restrooms and parking lots.
Hart said some residents have reported the birds were hostile.
"We've had reports of bites here," she said.
County officials are getting in-person comments, telephone calls and emails.
"We've heard a lot of opinions about it, some pro and some con," said Hart, who acknowledged the vast majority of responses have been negative.
Carolina Waterfowl Rescue of Indian Trail had worked with Gaston County officials on the problem for the past month and said it was willing to relocate and save the geese. Officials with the nonprofit organization said they were never told that all 144 birds would be euthanized.
"I think we were all trying to put the public's health first," she said.
Many Facebook postings were highly negative.
"Killing without looking for alternative options is not OK," wrote Kim Braman. "You should all be fired."

I'm ba-aaack :] and another free wristwarmer / mitten pattern
I haven't been completely idle despite the absolutely stinking hot weather, so here's the latest of the current lot of totally-out-of-season wristwarmers. Nice, simple garter stitch but with a little bit of lace for interest. They are actually a much deeper jade than the photo shows... and just in case you are interested in how such things spring into being: the pattern is my take on one that has been used since time immemorial to make umpteen gazillion covered coathangers for every fete, fair and street stall that ever was. I see possibilities for wristwarmers in all sorts of places at the moment it seems, and when Maz sent me the pattern for the coathangers, after I'd cranked out a few, it just seemed logical to work out how to put that lace bit on both ends of a wider strip of garter stitching. The other thought that occurs is ... this pattern is basically reversible so it SHOULD make a neat scarf pattern. I'd probably cast on around half as many stitches and go up a couple of sizes on the needles to make the garter stitch a little lacier. If you try it, drop me a line and a photo, ok?
Wristwarmers / fingerless mittens
[1]50gram ball of Heirloom 5-ply pure wool [ any sockweight should work ]
1 pair 4mm / US size 5 /UK size 8 needles
gauge: 23 - 24 stitches to 4" over garter stitch
Cast on 48 stitches [ or about 38 for a shorter pair ]
Row1: k to last 4 stitches, YO, k2tog,YO,k2
Rows 2-7 * repeat row 1 a further 6 times
Row 8: cast off [ bind off] 4 stitches, k to last 4 stitches, YO, k2tog, YO, k2
Row 9: repeat row 8*
Repeat rows 2-9 until you have 9 points on each side of the garter stitch strip or number necessary to fit around wrist, ending with row 8.
Cast off remaining stitches.
Sew side seam from base of the point for about 1 3/8", leave 2" or a little less unseamed for the thumb hole, and sew remainder of seam to the base of the [other end] point. Of course you can make the short seam even shorter if you don't want the lacy bit to come so far up the fingers.
and of course:
this pattern is copyright 2007 S.Iacuone for personal and charity use only.
For any other use please contact me.
Knew you'd do the right thing :]

thank you for posting the pattern...

I've been looking for a fairly simple design that has pointy-bits around the fingers - your design is perfect! I think this is the only design I've seen that doesn't use more yarn than I have. Would it be OK to provide a copy to a friend with some yarn to knit? Obviously I would include copyright information clearly.

I love the gauntlets!!! They're cute and look warm. I live in wisconsin, so this would be a perfect thing for me. The lace on them looked soooooooooo difficult. I've started to make a pair of socks with the same type of lace.

Lovely mitts. Thanks.

Should there be an extra k2tog in row 9? You start with 32 stitches, add one stitch per row from row 1 to 7 (total 39), then reduce 3 in rows 8 and 9 (bind off 4, k2tog once and yo twice). This results in 33 stitches, one more than what you started with. So the piece ends up a trapezoid. I've been knitting this in a worsted with size 9 needles, to complement a scarf, and it looks pretty but the shape seems wrong.

May I use the pattern as a gift for someone. Gwen

Pets, Pets, Pets . . .
Twenty five years ago this week our first "Pets" column appeared in the Beacon. In 1983 three new members of the League for Animal Protection South Shore (LAP) were asked to collaborate to promote shelter animals. Although I just met the other two, I said I'd help for a while. Little did I know we'd become the best of friends and that I'd want this column to go on forever.
Leslie Hill approached the late Mr. Wolfe with the shelter idea because she had covered school board meetings for the Beacon. Barbara Von Bartheld, pet columnist, had recently left. Leslie dragged her pal Michael Bursztin along because he was incredibly talented and funny. Dear Michael, who died in 2002 at age 40, wrote a few "Pets." He loved to embarrass us. We silenced him at the get-go because we were afraid of what he would submit. Michael was also partly responsible for the "Dolly Parton Debacle" (below), our rescue trial by fire.
Leslie and I visited Babylon Shelter each Saturday to take Polaroids of the dogs. Two shots would go in "Pets"; the rest would hang on posters in store windows. Our goal was to make the invisible visible, to lead people to the buried treasure at their neighborhood pound. Few residents realized we had a town shelter, then next to the dump on Edison Avenue. Extremely naive, we thought we could "save" every shelter dog/cat just by advertising. We were up against huge obstacles. The municipal mindset was different. Most animals, including the real Lassie*, were put down in a week, sooner if owner surrendered. No matter how creative our copy, no matter how boldly I marked shelter paperwork, we couldn't find a home for a dead dog.
My dad had major surgery the same '93 day of the Colin Ferguson LIRR shooting. I spent the morning before going to the hospital frantically making arrangements with Collie Rescues to take a sweet, young male who was only given 'til noon.
Disease was also rampant. Kennel cough more potent, parvo new, distemper always lurking. By the time we had a place, the dog could be too ill.
"The Dolly Parton Debacle": Most of our early rescue lessons stem from this fiasco. Michael named a small Shepherd mix after the country singer because of the dog's "flowing wigged hair". His mother said she'd foster a shelter pooch for us, but it had to be a female. We signed Dolly out when her time was up. I left Leslie while I went to the doctor. She learned "Ms. Parton" was a "he" the hard way. The insulted dog nipped her as she accidentally grabbed him by his manhood while loading him in her car. We wound up boarding him at a nearby clinic for many months- huge mistake, but a crash course in reality. Here's "Dolly's Wisdom":
Lesson #1: Always sex the pet yourself. Don't assume that a cat collar or canine cage card is correct.
Corollary Lesson #1a: Owners need to go in person many times to look for their lost pet. Only you can ID your missing pet, not some poor kennel attendant who's seen a million Pit mixes or a harried receptionist who rarely enters the dog runs. (Islip Shelter insists you come down on their phone message.) Back in the "Dolly" days the shelter told a lady they didn't have her lost Great Dane puppy. She came down and found him, lounging in the female section, although the pup's plumbing was larger than Rhode Island. This time no one could blame the error on big hair.
Lesson #2: Foster homes are precious and few. Our problem was that Dolly was a female impersonator. Meanwhile, foster families, those who can nurture needy animals in their home (without becoming collectors) and then give them up when the pets are ready, are a special breed, similar to the kind folks who continually raise guide dog pups. Many times humane groups lose the precious slot when caretakers decide to keep the foster.
Lesson #3: Boarding is the most expensive way to do adoptions. Dolly, who turned out to be mature and testy, cost us close to $2000 in boarding before we placed him. Fees mount quickly. Dogs at vets are less accessible and harder to show. You must tread lightly around the animal hospital schedules to make appointments so prospective owners can see your pooch.
Lesson #4: Once the pet is in your care, do not rely on anyone else to place him. We just assumed the veterans who were mentoring us would find Dolly a home. We were too idealistic to notice the many animals in their care that were going no where. Also when placing privately, screen references; then bring the animal to the possible home. You can still change your mind. I've walked out with the dog or cat. I've repossessed.
Corollary #4a: Check out your rescue contacts; determine
how trustworthy they are. Especially with the internet, groups and individuals can make themselves appear more reputable than they really are. Some "saviors"
are actually hoarders. Other outspoken critics have
no hands-on pound experience. Eager volunteers
pull shelter animals to bring to
other rescues
based on
flimsy promises
that fizzle.
On the other
hand, zealots
who think even
Old Yeller in end
stage rabies, is
adoptable, are delivering
or death's door animals
to unsuspecting,
compassionate people. My head spins when I hear: "If someone will put a muzzle on the feral dog, I will drive him to blah blah rescue in Connecticut." Are you mad? If you can't touch him, what makes you think people 100 miles away can?
Lesson #5: Don't empty an organization's treasury with just 1 dog or cat. LAP assisted us with Dolly's bill after warning we were on our own next time. Dolly was a mega-mistake in judgment, neither a surprise nor known medical emergency, as many later LAP pets were.
Corollary #5a: If you want to rescue, be prepared to dig deep into your own pockets. Like many others, I'd have a time share in Tahiti if I had the moola I spent on shelter animals. Besides, I kept Polaroid solvent for many years. Rescue is a costly avocation but each contribution helps. Animal groups are badgered constantly. and are more apt to assist those who will share expenses.
Lesson #6: Temperament tests are merely snap shots and guidelines, not guarantees. We were too quick to choose Dolly based on aesthetics. A shelter is an artificial environment. The behavior of dogs and cats can change based on many factors, including cage confinement. They will react differently with various people or animals. Some get better in homes, while others relax and reveal hidden issues. Too many adopters expect instant perfection. It takes time for a dog or cat to settle into a new home.When problems arise, before relinquishing the pet, new owners should seek the help of behaviorists and experts.
Lesson #7: You can't save them all…but you sure can, within reason, keep trying. After a quarter century and 1,300 pet columns (I have them all in folders), I can't say how many dogs, cats or owners my "Pets" or shelter presence has touched. Just part of a network, I know some lives have been altered; some matches have been heaven sent. I'm heartened with LI's animal welfare progress and the vision of Chris Elton, our wonderful, new shelter director. I've never earned a dime as a columnist, but the rewards are priceless.
Oddly, "Dolly Parton's" photo was never featured, nor could I find him in my Polaroid collection, but shown is the first Beacon poster dog, a 1983 Lab mix rejected by North Shore Animal League because he had sores on his feet, yet adopted as soon as his picture appeared here.
This week the adoptables at Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677-5784) Miller pl. Syosset include "Wallace" # 113, a cute, middle-aged Pug with her breed's typical eye problems and "Orange Crush" #35-a jumbo male cat.
Also available: "Princess" #147- a 2 yr. Min Pin; a friendly male Shepherd mix #117; "Gustaf" #59 the Swiss Mt. Dog mix; "Nica" #128- an 8 mon. Lab/Shepherd puppy.

Nearly 5,000 people gathered at the Rhode Island Convention Center for the New England Institute of Technology's commencement on Sunday. Like most college and university graduation ceremonies, there was a headline speaker. At NEIT, it was Martin Sheen, known for his appearances in movies like "Wall Street," "Apocalypse Now" and his portrayal of the president of the United States on the television series, "The West Wing."
"It was a really powerful speech," said NEIT spokeswoman Susan Groh. "He had the audience in the palm of his hands."
Sheen began his speech with some humor, talking about his "identity crisis" – Sheen has played several United States presidents, both real and fictional, and has often been misidentified as an actual former U.S. leader.
Robert Shapiro, former Warwick school superintendent and a trustee of NEIT, said Sheen recounted a time he was mistakenly identified on a plane.
"He was sitting on a plane when someone said, 'Mr. President, you're not on Air Force 1. Is it in the shop?'" said Shapiro.
Although he briefly spoke about his career on the big screen, Sheen mainly talked about his activism.
"While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive," said Sheen.
Shapiro said one of the most powerful topics Sheen covered was that of immigration.
"All of us were immigrants at one time," said Shapiro. "He pointed out that so much of the spirit of America today seems harbored against immigrants."
Sheen said he has always been proud of being a first generation American. Born Ramon Antonio Gerardo Estevez, Sheen was the son of a Spanish father and an Irish mother.
"I often wonder how my parents would relate to the current wave of immigrant bashing that seems so vogue in certain quarters across the land these days," said Sheen. "A growing chorus of conservative voices, some even coming from official circles, blame innocent immigrants for every conceivable form of wrongdoing and lawlessness without just cause, and they target them for deportation, dividing families and destroying communities. These arrogant voices need to be reminded that arrogance is ignorance matured and that we continue to be a nation of immigrants."
In addition to speaking out against discrimination against immigrants, Shapiro said Sheen talked to the graduates about pursuing whatever interests them.
"He said we should go after something that is our passion," said Shapiro.
For Sheen, pursuing a passion was about serving others.
"I came through the '60s clinging to the absolute certainty that lost causes are the only causes worth fighting for, and that non-violence is the only weapon to fight with," he said.
Shapiro said Sheen talked a lot about social issues, a topic that struck a chord with Shapiro.
"When he spoke, he spoke very passionately," said Shapiro. "He discussed what he really believed. It was inspirational."
Sheen said the three most important needs of "every human being on Earth are not food, clothing and shelter, as much as the need for justice, healing and love."
"Without the latter, the former are useless," continued Sheen. "It is the gross inequality of food, clothing and shelter that divides us, but it is the absolute necessity of justice, healing and love that can unite us. Clearly we need a far more realistic understanding of who we are and why we are here."
Sheen, a high school dropout who did not attend college, has been active on the political scene, advocating for equality and peace. NEIT presented him with an honorary doctor of humane letters on Sunday.
Sheen said everyone has within them the urge to help someone else in need.
"This yearning, I believe, is a manifestation of our true selves and leads us to the very first small conscious acts of personal heroism, which often brings rejection from the crowd and satisfaction from the heart," said Sheen. "But this yearning can be very costly. If it were not so, we would be left to question its value … And no one has ever made a contribution of any real worth without self-sacrifice, personal suffering and sometimes even death."
Shapiro said the speech was very well received.
"Students gave him a rousing applause," said Shapiro. "They did relate very well to him."
Shapiro, who is no stranger to big name commencement speakers, said Sheen was very personable and humble, and was not just great on stage in front of the crowd, but behind the scenes as well.
"I had the opportunity to meet with him afterwards," said Shapiro. "He was very gracious and very relaxed."
Puleeeese! Another hollywood liberal not bothering to state the facts. Conservatives do not engage in immigrant bashing. Sheen conveniently leaves out ILLEGAL immigrant bashing. We acknowledge immigration, when controlled, is a good thing. ILLEGAL immigration is a very bad thing. Leaving out the word illegal changes the entire substance of the conversation. Of course, that was his intention. Hopefully, there were enough 'scholars' in the audience to know the difference.

Dying Maryland Teen Adjusting Well to Classmate's Heart
(PASADENA, MD.) -- When the doctor showed up at his hospital bed and told Kyle Wilkerson that she had good news -- that she had a heart for the Maryland teenager -- Kyle had a suspicion. Mom Denise Wilkerson says her 15-year-old son looked up at the cardiologist and asked, "Is it Skylar's heart?"
Skylar Marion, a fellow ninth-grader and acquaintance of Kyle's had died from injuries suffered days earlier in a hit-and-run accident. After the accident, Skylar, 15, was rushed to the shock-trauma center at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, where he was placed on life support.
It was the same hospital where Kyle had spent two months being treated for heart failure. His heart was so badly damaged from a rare genetic condition that he had suffered a stroke from a blood clot, and doctors had to install a heart pump to keep him alive until they could find a donor.
As Skylar's father, Mike Marion, was making the wrenching decision to remove his son from life support, he learned about Kyle, a teen from their town of Pasadena, Md., who needed a heart. Marion didn't know Kyle directly, although it turned out his son did.
Marion said he went into Skylar's hospital room and faced his unresponsive son. "I asked him if it was OK to give that boy his heart, and I just felt a lift come off my shoulders, and I just felt, OK. It seemed like it was fine."
An emotional Wilkerson said, "In my heart, part of it broke. I had already been sad that Skylar didn't make it. It just overwhelmed me thinking this is such a miracle."
Authorities are still looking for the hit-and-run driver.
There are more than 2,000 heart transplants in the United States every year, and so-called directed donations of hearts are extremely rare, only two or three a year, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing.
Baltimore cardiologist Dr. Erika Feller, who treated Kyle, called this "a crazy story." There was no guarantee the heart would work for Kyle. Feller had already rejected a few other hearts that weren't a good match.
"It has to be the right blood type, and it has to be the right size, generally, and it just so happened both were prefect," said Feller, the medical director of heart transplants at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
So, on April 16, Dr. Sunjay Kaushal, the director of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery at the Baltimore hospital, carefully took out Kyle's damaged heart, and replaced it with the heart of a boy who lived just down the street, went to the same high school and shared a love of trick bike-riding with Kyle.
"His prognosis is excellent," Kaushal said. "We are really optimistic."
Denise Wilkerson met Mike Marion this week, the man who donated his son's heart. "He didn't cry," she said. "He hugged me. He thanked me. He thanked me like I did something for him."
Marion said, "It's a gift that her son gets to live. That makes Skylar a part of him, still living."
For the Wilkerson family, this is their second miracle heart. Eight years ago, Kyle's dad, Randy Wilkerson, suffered atrial fibrillation, a sudden irregular heartbeat. That is when doctors discovered that the then 44-year-old man was stricken with familial dilated cardiomyopathy, an inherited disease that causes heart failure.
The family knew then that Kyle would, one day, also likely need a heart transplant, just like his dad. But they never expected his heart to fail at such a young age.
"What is surprising is how quickly he needed the heart," Dr. Kaushal said. "The father needed it in his 40s, and he needed it in teenage years."
Kyle's dad had his own heart pump installed in 2005 and went on the transplant list. His doctor was Erika Feller, the same cardiologist who later treated his son. Months after getting his heart pump, Wilkerson got his own news from Feller: There was a heart waiting for him.
"It is pretty rare that the cardiomyopathy is so bad in both father and son to require something as significant as a heart transplant," Dr. Feller said. "It is pretty unusual."
Her husband's surgery and successful recovery gave Denise Wilkerson great comfort. She thought Kyle was in good hands at the University of Maryland Medical Center, although he would be the first pediatric heart transplant patient there under a new program established by Dr. Kaushal.
She praised the doctors and their care. "I have my two guys because of them," she said.

Microsoft UK bosses have suggested that whatever Sony announces next week won't damage Xbox 360.
Maybe, but PS4 announcement will damage to PS3 sales and upcoming exclusives like the last of us .
Exactly, unless they announce another pricecut
It depends on the release date and of curse ps3 pricing. Lets not forget that ps2 still sold after ps4 launch. I guess a drop to $199 or $149 price point is going to explode ps3 sales even after the ps4 announcement. If Sony does announce a price drop, Microsoft are going to respond as well. They will not let Sony walk all over them and I hope they do. It'll be great for the gaming industry.
or it come with BC, cause if not they would be screwing themselves over.
better yet it come with BC, cause if not they would be screwing themselves over.
"better yet it come with BC, cause if not they would be screwing themselves over."
How will they be screwing themselves over. Benefits of no BC:
Can Sell remakes (hell they can be selling remakes of remakes God of war collection for PS4, Console gamers be prepared to get milked again).
Buyers of new console dont have old games so need to run out buy new games.
I see a win win situation for console makers not to release BC, and a lose lose situation for the console gamer.
Infact they would be in a better situation to discontinue online support for the PS3 few years after the PS4, forcing more people to buy the new console, not like console gamers can do anything about online getting shut down. Most fanboys will infact cheer the fact that they are getting screwed.. saying stuff like "oh they need to discontinue online support to better support PS4" lol.
Well i think its kinda bad PR to not have BC and i imagine with many people it might be one of the deciding factors early on. Then making them pay again for a game they already own via a streaming service isn't going to sit well for some people.
Of course there are also many people who won't care about ps3 games when there's better ps4 titles to play. That's my view and if gaikai is cheap enough i would t have a problem buying the one or two games i may want to revisit in the coming years.
you're wrong, the Last Of Us will go beyond Uncharted sales, easily.
And yes it will hurt the Xbox, it has been hurting for 3 years already software and sale wise, i dont care what Microsoft says.
I'm curious about that.
Uncharted clearly has a broader appeal than Last of Us. I actually expect it to go the other way and not out-perform it. That may be a biased perspective because I'm not particularly interested in it myself, despite it obviously being amazingly high-quality.
I'm very interested to see how it plays out. In any event, I'm definitely not rooting for it to fail.
I think we'd need to look at Uncharted 1 sales vs Last of Us, and then adjust for the larger install base now to really compare the two.
I think the game will be a success, but not sure it will outsell Uncharted 2 or 3 as it is a new IP. Although it also depends on how hard Sony market it. Uncharted 3 got a lot of TV adverts in the UK.
I think a comparison with Drake's Fortune, adjusted for a massive increase in userbase is probably a fair metric.
Your right, The Last of Us will probably sell better than Uncharted. One reason, zombies. People will eat anything up if it's got zombies in it
So you are saying Microsoft is lying about sales? 2012 wasn't as good for Microsoft as 2011, but 2011 saw the Xbox 360's best selling year on the market. When you sell 1 million consoles on Black Friday alone, you are doing something right and you don't have much to complain about.
I think there is some minor damage to sales, due to some people telling "regular customers" that a new one will be out, but the vast majority won't know.
If you know and follow the announcement, you likely already own both a PS3 and Xbox 360 by now.
It certainly wouldn't affect game sales, as people still want to consume the content now, not in 10 months.
"it has been hurting for 3 years already software and sale wise, i dont care what Microsoft says."
You sure are trying to fan the smoke, but in this case there is no fire. So how about you show us instead of making up claims?
Only on n4g can you get disagrees for stating a completely valid point, sometimes I think hardcore gamers who come on sites like this forget they are just one section of the gaming consumer. I know many console buyers, who if it wasn't for me telling them, would no nothing of next gen until it was in the shops
HAPPY VALENTINE DAY LADIES haaaaaa
something new besides complainting.
Its that simple guys as allways with big companys
If a huge company gives out a statement saying they dont care means they DO care
If a huge company doesnt care they just dont care and them dont comment it at all
Whatdo you do when somene tells you to not care and just relax
Exactly you SHOULD start caring since hes trying to hold you down.
There are more people playing ps3 now than ever before, The last of us will be a hit only if it is marketed properly and the PS4 announcement will not do anything to its launch at all.
That doesnt make any sense, a game as good as The last of us will make me still buy it even if the PS4 is announced. What you think when they say "Here is the PS4!" That I will say "Well I dont want the last of us game anymore"? That doesnt make sense
Walker announcing the PS4 will most likely hurt PS3 sales. So what. This generation is over. But it will do nothing to hurt sales of games. There are 75 million PS3s out there. Several million of those owners will still buy a good game.
excactly this. ill be still buying ps3 games when ps4 is finally released (whenever that is) and thats because i never buy new hardware on day 1. not because i dont want too but because its best to weather the storm before any shortcomings of any console.
traditionally all consoles i have ever bought have usually been around their first drop in price except for ps2 which i got as a present
"Maybe, but PS4 announcement will damage to PS3 sales and upcoming exclusives like the last of us ."
They just stop selling ps2 1 month ago.. sooo..
Lol I laughed when the UK xbox heads say that: especially since PS3 is already beating Xbox 360 in the UK. If they think PS4's added presence won't have an effect, then they are dellusional. No wonder M$ has lost touch with it's [former] user-base. With clueless men like that running the company, it's amazing Xbox even sells anymore. Wow, those 2 men must be high off of those Xbox Live fees. Money sure has a way of clouding one's vision.
Realistically a PS4 announcement won't hurt the sales of the Xbox because its an ANNOUNCEMENT. Its not getting released the next day.
The interview confirms MS is no. no. 1 in the market. Not sure if that's in the UK or WW.
But Xbox has nothing to do with PlayStation
Who buys Xbox wont buy Playstation 4 thats for sure.
So it wont affect but once Next Gen Xbox is announced 360 is done.
Well I'm an Xbox gamer and am with out a shadow of a doubt buying the PS4 as I did the PS3. Some of us are gamers not fanboys you no
... I'll buy whichever consoles look good to me.
This generation those have been the 360 and the PS4, and next-gen it will just depend on what the new consoles will be capable of, and if there will be any irritating limitations or whatever. ('always online' demands, game-activation to restrict 2nd hand games sales, etc etc)
If the next-gen consoles aren't backwards compatible forinstance, there's a very big chance I'll wait for the 'Steambox'.
I started this generation as an Xbox fan, never having owned a Playstation system before. And the 360 has been great as well.
However, the last few years Microsoft has been messing up IMHO (Personally not interested in motion-sensitive gaming, nor dashboard apps), and I feel Sony has improved after a slow start and has looked after my needs as a gamer more than MS, so at the moment I'm a bit more interested in the new PS4 than I am about the Xbox8.
I agree, I think most of us cant afford 2 consoles, I only have PS3, but I think it was a mistake. I will wait and see what happened next gen, I almost gt the wiiu, im glad I did not.
^Exactly... Wtf is that about?? A lot of people who rode with Sony with PS1 and PS2 still shifted to the 360 only because it was the first HD console released, and they were disappointed (rightfully) with the PS3 when it had first launched.
M$ scared lol!!!
Why would they be scared they are about to past the Wii and become No 1 in the UK (as said in the MCV article where this comes from) and the US.
MS are ready to dominate next gen.
PS3: 75.1ml
360: 76.9ml
Check OFFCIAL finacial reports and try again ;)
Ok fine then the 360 is No 1 in the US and UK the too biggest regions. You just made the PS3 look even worse lol
Wii isn't even in the battle dude, its a kids toy which you Breakbox 3Fixme fools only use as a weapon against the superior Playstation 3.
Why dont you talk about the lack of exclusives?
What is it 12 against 1?
Its "hillarios"!!!! Kinect fan!
PS2 - 155 million
PS3 - 77 million
I'm sure once the PS3 has been on the market for as long as the PS2 was, that figure won't be quite so embarrassing then. It's interesting that you want to quote lifetimes sales for the PS2. Why didn't you find the sales for the PS2 at the point the PS3 released? The PS3 will never sell as many as the PS2 but it won't be at 77 million for another six years. My guess would be 115 million lifetime sales.
I must say, was that the best you could come up with? Pitting PS2 numbers to PS3? And calling it embarrassing?
PS2 - 155 million
XBOX+Xbox360 - 110 million
What's embarrassing.
PS2 is 12 years old
PS3 is only 6 years old.
You wait until PS3 is 12 years old, then thats when you can compare the sales between the two, Sure PS3 wont sell as well as PS2, but It wont be the HUGE gap you Xbots make it out to be, PS3 is well on track to selling over at least 110-120 million.
And Sony will be the only company to have their console sell over 100 million 3 generations in a row, While Microsoft can barely do that with their 2 consoles sales put together.
They won't be manufacturing PS3's for the next 6 years. You cannot use the PS2 as a level of expectations. The PS2 was hugely popular. Do you guys really think Nintendo is going to be making Wii's after 10 years of being on the market?
Both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 will continue to see year over year drops in sales. The market has become too competitive and is looking to ramp up in switching over to the next generation. The level of software support the PS2 got after the PS3 came out will not be the same once the PS4 comes out.
Actually, its sony thats scared. Werent they the ones that said that they would let Ms make the first move??? Then they came out saying that they would have a special event with an announcement on the 21st of Feb. If that doesnt scream fear i dont know what does.
And you took PR talk as the gospel truth? What was Sony going to say - we're going in first? They're not going to let Microsoft know what they're planning...
Common sense, use it.
'The console that you bought when we launch versus the one today is totally different.'
Without question.
correct. the ps3 launch had bc, current version does not
My PS3 also used to have OtherOS, before Sony legally stole that feature away from me.
Doesn't even matter, I have so many ps3 games, I dont even have time to go back and play my ps2 games. BC is really only needed for the 1st year or two.
Don't forget:
Phat had more USB ports
touch sensitive on/off and eject buttons
auto loader
overall better material used for the design
Look how insecure this guy is. You can read it between the lines.
This really does show that MS is worried. Trying the whole "we don't see it as a threat" can be seen through so easily.
Now that the Xbox is in last place MS are starting to feel the pressure!
You fanboys really think you can find a bluff on a multibillion dollar company? Get reaaal.
Sounds like to me you Sony sheep are all over this post in swat armor dear lord.
This is whole interview is coming from MS themselves. And yet your trying to downplay it by saying MS is Scared, weak and denial?
You Sony sheep aren't bigger than them. Apple, Sony and Nintendo are giants like MS they're competing with them not you, its not your job. N4G is made up of 100's of people so what Sony fanboys make 00.1% of Sony's sales?
So glad I'm not blind like you people. It's not like it matters, because Sony sheep have been playing their parts well this whoole gen by saying crazy made up crap to comfort themselves in other like minded sheep around them.
Go ahead and stay in Alice in Wonderland, you fanboys never left since this gen started anyway.
Your funny.
http://www.google.com/imgre... http://indiehasmybones.word... http://indiehasmybones.file...
this suits you and all the Sony sheep boys of N4G
Mmmmm denial tastes so good in the morning :)
I hope it cripples 360 sales. Microsoft is a greedy sad company who will milk there old ass hardware to idiot consumers. If anything Microsoft should of been the ones revealing there successor on feb 20th, but Sony will be the better company and give the people what they want. Even though there's life left in the ps3. Bravo to Sony. They deserve to be the king console of gaming next gen.
is obv that MS give some answer when they will announce the ps4....im pretty sure that on day 21 (after the ps4 announce) we will see the true Durango specs...."leaked" in some sites....to move out the audience
then the war will be officially open
One thing that i dont really understand (marketing talking) is....
ok Sony is showing the console FIRST...but they r not going to release the console now...why doing this?.why ruin hype for ps3 game that will look "games for old-gen hw"?..r this games moved on gen foward? r we sure the the last of us is a ps3 game? (they delayed already in june no?)..i dont think theyll release the console in summer (would be crazy stupid)...so why give to MS this advandage?
they will lose just the hype that a "secret and not official announced" hardware can build up...while MS keeping HYPER SECRETLY the durango building and building hype behinde weird "special sauce"....kinect 2..and other "unknow" piece of hw ...that u can read all the day long around every videogames/hw related website..let it explode at the e3 or 1 week before it
Sony ceo said some weeks ago..."why we shoud do the first move when the other can see our specs and do it better"....i dont know what happen to this thing......but they doing just the opposite
I remember u that we r just in Feb and the new console seem will go out in oct or maybe dec...i mean there r still 10 months....and also if not the "entire hw design" can change......they for sure have time to implement stuffs
with this i would just say.....i think is a bad move from sony to show the console this early...i suppose they wanna use this show to have an E3 full of games...but now imagine this...
at e3 MS will show the x720 and sony only games (or they wanna anonunce the ps4 two times? lol)....obv the hype will go just for MS....
boh is higly stupid...
IT would be G R E A T ...if they announce day 20 Feb and in Jan is already out in the shops......but i think this is barely impossible.....
so r two the answer that i can give to myself.....1) im not undertanding the whole sony picture 2) is another marketing flop from our beloved japanese company ( that would not be as unusual)
Or maybe...the entire ps4 is what website like vgleaks already showed ...and theres nothing to add-up....and ppl waiting months before e3 will lose the "wow" factor..seeing the same piece of HW showed already in every website at the e3..having an answer from the audience lke "oh...we already know everything about this console man"...
Well the PS3 was announced at E3 2006 and released a year later in Europe and North America in 2007 so announcing a year early is pretty customary for Sony.
Also Don't forget all the over promises of Sony made about the PS3's spec's and showing game footage that never saw the light of day. Sony Always changes their system specs between announcement and launch. Whatever Sony shows on Feb 20th, expect a different console come release in 2014.
I don't think Sony will do anything to the PS4 to increase it's specs to match MS's specs. If anything, Sony will once again downgrade their system at launch simply because Sony can't contend with MS's deep pockets. MS can take a larger hit on each console sold whereas Sony can't. Sony going with 4GB DDR5 RAM which is really less then 3.5 GB DDR5 because 512MB goes towards OS, because they can't afford the 8GB. MS will release with 8GB DDR3 RAM where really it will be 6GB since 2GB will go towards OS.
Lets face it:
6GB DDR3 RAM for games >>> 3.5 DDR5 RAM for games
Sony off the shelf parts for the PS4 will not be as powerful or efficient as MS's custom GPU/CPU specs.
No matter what Sony does with the PS4, it won't be as powerful as the 720. They can't match specs due to financial constraints and they will once again over promise and under deliver on the final specs released to the consumers.
All this announcement is doing is to try and generate HYPE to deter sales from MS's 720 which will release this year. Sony doesn't have to worry about the PS3. The hard core's already own a PS3, it's only the casual's that are buying them now and they wouldn't be the ones buying the PS4 at launch. Announcing now for the PS3 is just good business to generate HYPE.
LOL so easy to make up numbers without any confirmation from sony or microsoft.. I like when people pretend to know everything and make up some numbers, anyways ill bookmark this comment to see what u have to say once the official numbers from both company are released...
You should remember that GoW II was released after the PS3 release and it has sold pretty well, so i don't think that the PS4 announcement will hurt the sales of PS3's games simply for 2 facts:
1) They will just reveal the new console and not release it that day(for sure not before the holidays)
2) Even with a release at the end of the year not everybody will buy it on day one and by then the PS3 will have an even more appealing price point.
See Mr. Kayle, you don't need to come so defensive in every MS releated article or so offensive in every Sony one. ;)
Microsoft is doing a fine job by themselves on that part.
"Whatever gets announced on February 20, the majority of consumers in the UK won't know."
"We think our customers are stupid and ignorant"
I'm sure our 24 hour news and our access to the internet will result in almost every gamer in the UK knowing by Feb 21st
I agree, but you have to look at it like it is. Out of the 70 million PS3's and 360's sold, I would bet nowhere near half of those people read from gaming sites.
Us gamers that go on N4G (or whatever other gaming site) make up a very small percentage of the actual amount of people who 'game'. How do I know? Well, when articles start to have tens if not hundreds of thousands of comments, maybe even millions, then I'd say it is a safe bet we are NOT the minority.
Of course, as you said, the 'gamers' (not casuals who own consoles-customers) will know about this already through word of mouth, and if not, the day of the reveal or the next day they are sure to know.
Announcement won't hurt anything, but release hurts EVERYTHING.
LOL typical MS, face it if you dont have a next gen console that releases at the same time as the PS4 arrives you lose my money... So ergo it will hurt your sales
Whenever Sony have big announcements MS always do a price cut. Just watch, right after Sony announce PS4 there will be a 360 price cut. I believe Nintendo will do a price cut for WiiU too.

Thats not a terribly hard thing to do, but I'm worried I'd forget to do it then be stuck without a phone. Is this actually the case? Is the drain THAT bad, or is it just standard battery life?

Cleveland, Ohio, November 3, 2012 — The Washington University in St. Louis football team limited Case Western University to 184 yards of total offense in a 10-7 victory on Saturday afternoon at Case Field in Cleveland, Ohio.
With the win Washington University secured a share of its ninth University Athletic Association (UAA) championship in school history and its first since 2004.
Washington U. wraps up 2012 regular-season play with a road game at the University of Chicago on Saturday, Nov. 10. Game time is set for Noon in the Windy City. A win at Chicago would clinch the outright UAA title for the Bears.
The Bears offense struggled in the opening half gaining just 91 yards of total offense. Junior quarterback Eric Daginella was 8-of-21 for 65 yards in the first half, as Washington U. punted on six of seven possessions. On the final drive of the half, freshman Alex Hallwachs' 41-yard field goal was wide right.
Hallwachs redeemed himself with a 25-yard field goal with 5:23 left in the third quarter to trim the advantage to 7-3. After the Washington U. defense forced a three-and-out, it took the Bears just four plays to take the lead for good.
The big play of the drive was a 64-yard pass from Daginella to sophomore wide receiver Tim Bartholomew that got the Bears' down to the Spartan one-yard line. Bartholomew finished the day four catches for a career-high 98 yards.
A botched snap by the Spartan punt team gave the Bears' first down on the five with 10:41 left in the fourth quarter. Case Western's defense came up clutch and held Washington U. to a 23-yard field goal try by Hallwachs that was blocked to keep it at 10-7.
Sophomore Zach Lonneman led the rushing attack with 42 yards on nine carries, as Washington U. was limited to 74 yards on the ground. Daginella was 16-of-40 for 196 yards and was sacked just once.
WUSTL's defense forced 10 punts and had an interception in the win, and limited Case to 86 yards on the ground and 98 yards passing. The 184 yards allowed are the lowest since Sept. 4, 2010, when the Bears allowed 134 yards in a 34-3 win at home against Knox College.
Junior linebacker Peter Lowery (11 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack) and sophomore linebacker Fade Oluokun (10 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss) led the defensive effort for Washington U., who had 12 tackles for loss and four sacks in the win. Senior defensive lineman William Small added six tackles, three quarterback hurries, 1.5 sacks, 1.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble.
Bear Notebook: Washington U. leads the all-time series with Case 18-9 … The Bears are 55-27 (.670) all-time in UAA play … Washington U. and Case Western Reserve were chosen as the co-favorites in the UAA Preseason Coaches Poll … The teams combined for 20 punts in the game (10 each) … The interception by junior defensive back Tate Byers in the second quarter was the third of his career.

This Week In Island History
Week of January 26 Week of January 26
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago

Jamestown's property owners can relax — they will see no more increase in taxes this year. (The school's $5.3 million operating budget and debt service would normally raise the tax rate by 10 cents, but the $50,000 increase in school spending could be covered from the town's budget surplus.)
The Town Council has approved a $370,000 capital improvements fund, about $20,000 less than last year's, as part of the town's general government budget for the 1987-88 fiscal year that begins March 1.
[The town administrator] urged the council last week to pay a consultant $15,000 to find out if all of the town's offices and records storage could be centrally located on the two lots where Town Hall and the planning and recreation office are now located.

To-Fu 2 Review
It's hard not to love the character To-Fu. As a cube of sticky soy product he's an unlikely little hero, but he's got gumption. He has faced off against thousands of deadly saw blades, spikes, and lasers, in an endless pursuit of pink fortune cookies. The first To-Fu, which rang in at a hefty 140 levels, was a blast to play. So how does the sequel compare?
Favorably… but that's because it's mostly more of the same.
Ninja suction.
In both games, instead of controlling To-Fu using a full range of movement, you stretch and fling him where you want him to go. He sticks to whatever surface he touches, whether it's a floor, wall, or ceiling. To beat each level, you have to maneuver him from his starting point to a pink fortune cookie somewhere in the level, without impaling him or slicing him up on any of the obstacles.
As in the original game, each level has three achievements for you to snag if you're feeling bold. You get one just for finishing the level, another for collecting all of the blue lights strewn about, and another for completing the level in a limited number of jumps. Most levels require more than one play-through to do everything, especially the tougher later ones.
Don't forget to stretch.
So the core of To-Fu 2 is identical to the original, but what's changed? For one, now you can charge To-Fu by stretching him for a few seconds before letting go. His head will start to glow blue, and when you release him he shoots through the air like a bullet, plowing through any breakable wooden barriers in his way. This is a fun mechanic to use, but it doesn't have a very big effect on the gameplay. They've also added a couple of minor new level elements, like reflective blocks that disappear after you touch them, but these aren't novel or exciting, either.
The game comes with 100 levels, and while they're well designed, after a while they start to blend together. Each leap between saw blades starts to feel like countless leaps you've made before, especially if you've played the original game. By calling To-Fu 2 a sequel, the developers raised our expectations. Unfortunately, they didn't quite deliver.
Don't get us wrong: To-Fu 2 is a polished and entertaining product, and you'll have fun with it. But almost everything there is to love about the game, we've already loved about the original. Here's hoping for something fresher in To-Fu 3.

New Apache sprayer has more capacity, horsepower
The new 2007 model Apache sprayer 710 boasts a number of improvements over the popular 2006 model that accounted for 30% of Equipment Technologies' total sales for the year. Cab enhancements include a sound barrier mat in the lower windshield, a new location for the muffler, and double-pane, laminated glass windshields, all designed to make the cab quieter and more comfortable. "In our view, we have taken a machine with a remarkable first-year launch and made it even better — especially the creature comforts," says Chad Ringer, Equipment Technologies lead engineer.
The new AS 710 is equipped with a 750-gal. tank for more capacity and JCB four-speed power shift, torque-converted transmission. It is powered by a 6-cyl., 155-hp diesel engine. "The 155-hp diesel engine, the efficiency of our mechanical drive train, and the lightweight design make for a great combination: low fuel consumption and an impressive power-to-weight ratio," Ringer states.
Equipment Technologies first introduced the sprayer in 2006 as a vehicle for customer applicators who need capacity and power from a smaller machine. "A lot of guys have either upgraded from a 400-gal. sprayer or made this their first new self-propelled unit," reports Jim Bates, vice president of sales and marketing.
The company reports that the Apache mechanical drive system is more economical than a hydrostatic drive because it is rugged and less expensive to maintain and owners often are able to repair the vehicle themselves.
The suggested retail price of the new Apache 710 sprayer is $120,000. Contact Equipment Technologies, 2201 Hancel Pkwy., Mooresville, IN 46158, 800/861-2142, or visit www.apachesprayer.com.

Pharr section 150 line 7
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2003 2:05 am
I don't understand the form [face=SPIonic]h)ge/ronto[/face]. I am quite certain it is from [face=SPIonic]a)gei/rw[/face] and that it is 3rd person plural middle or passive but I don't know if it is aorist or imperfect. The aorist form is given as having and Epsilon and an Iota, and the imperfect is (usually ?) build on the present tense stem, so that means again with an Epsilon and a Iota. Is this a unusual form or am I going stir-crazy?

I finished Sara's Georgia Tech bag and I think it's looks fabulous! I love how simple the pleats are and I couldn't be happier with the fabric choice! Sophisticated on the outside, totally Ga Tech on the inside! (kind of like the mullet of handbags? Buisness on the outside, party on the inside?)
I added a couple of fun features to the bag too. The strap can be shortened to shoulder bag length (shown) or it can be let out all the way and be a cross-body bag-- perfect for wandering around a stadium hands-free! This bag is a nice, big size-- big enough to carry everything you need an a jacket or sweatshirt, so keys can get lost easily! I added a ribbon with a clasp on the end so Sara can clip her keys to it-- they'll always be handy! No more digging through your purse!
I had some scrap fabric left over, so I made a matching clutch, key fob, and "Buzz" pin. Sara can clip the pin to her purse or jacket for game day to show a little extra team spirit!
I've also been a busy make a suprise fall bag for my mom! I made her a bag for mother's day last spring. She had told me she wanted something to carry her ipad and two travel mugs to church with (my parents are hip like that-- no bibles or notebooks- use the ipad! And they drink coffee in style!). I made her a tote for it, and she's used it as her everyday purse ever since! With fall here, she needed a purse with fall colors (she loves jewel tones) so I picked up some home dec fabric and got started.
Because my mom carries her ipad with her all the time, I wanted to make her a purse that had an ipad sleeve in it. I used this free pattern to make the bag and I think it turned out great! I adapted it by adding an ipad sleeve...
(inside: ipad sleeve)
And including an interior zipper pocket and key clip thingy (I need a name for this-- key tether? key line? gonna work on that...). Clearly I'm big on not loosing your keys in your purse.
I got the fabric for a steal at Warehouse Fabrics too! The fabric I used for the lining and accent I got at JoAnn's.
