Pixar Releases Trailer for 'The Good Dinosaur' (VIDEO)
By Dondi Tiples, Christian Post Contributor
Pixar and Walt Disney just released the trailer for its latest computer animated film "The Good Dinosaur."
The first full-length trailer for Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures made its debut Tuesday, featuring an alternate timeline for the dinosaurs.
The new 3D comedy adventure film, directed by Peter Sohn, who also helmed 2013's "Monsters University" for Pixar, re-imagines an Earth which an asteroid passes by and where dinosaurs were never wiped out.
The story follows a young Apatosaurus, Arlo, whose father is killed in an accident. Arlo is knocked into a river one day, and is carried off far away from his home. Trying to find his way back, he meets a human cave-boy he calls Spot and forges a friendship with him.
Along the way, they encounter scary-looking dinosaurs, have an adventure in a field of fireflies at night, and another field of butterflies in the daytime.
The computer animated film, which is due out in U.S. cinemas by Thanksgiving, portrays humans in a feral state and depicts a scene with Spot howling at a full moon, and growling at a prehensile serpent to defend Arlo. Meanwhile the dinosaur appears to have adopted him as a pet.
The trailer, despite lacking in dialogue, features an epic adventure between two friends, and has been on Pixar's schedule since 2011. Initially starring John Lithgow and Neil Patrick Harris' voices, the script ended up completely rewritten, and a new cast hired for the story, pushing back its original release date from 2014 to 2015.
"Drake and Josh" actor Raymond Ochoa plays Arlo, with a supporting cast of Jeffrey Wright, Steve Zahn, Sam Elliott, and Oscar winners, Anna Paquin and Frances McDormand.
"The Good Dinosaur" is scheduled to be released in U.S. theaters on Nov. 25.

So my gifter for this exchange was actually my giftee from previous exchange from last month :) Small reddit world! We got delicious little peanut butter doggie treats - Lucky loves them! We also got a kind of doggie cupcake, but that one was eaten before I took a picture. Thank you MeShellG, everything was perfect!
Oh my god I must have killed thousands of unicorns.
Anyway, your dog is incredibly cute!


Welcome home and congrats on the new born.
Thanks to a wonderful mod team we have now progressed Dark Omen further than ever before. Download the latest Mod pack that contains fixes to play 3d mode on Windows 7/8 &10.
Currently the Dark Omen 2 Mod contains 22 new maps, new races such as Dark Elves, Skaven and armies of Dwarfs, Wood Elves and High Elves. All available for Single and Multiplayer.
A loyal few of us still play new members on Game Ranger and yes the Dark Omen Reborn Unreal Engine remake project is amazing.
DMJC is the resident Dark Omen on Linux expert who kindly helped me and him test Wine but sadly it still doesn't work but thankfully DOR the Dark Omen Reborn remake project should be able to.
For DOR we got most of the mechanics implemented. Last large areas left untouched yet are magic (will be delayed after the demo launch) and AI (is the next thing we'll implement after finishing with current hot tasks, that should happen in couple of weeks).
Unfortunately, I didn't plan to implement multiplayer since it simply wouldn't fit into my time budget. I'm the only programmer in the project and Dark Omen turned out to be _far_ more complicated that I anticipated at first.
p.s. Also answered you in another thread.

Former Miami Beach Cop Charged by FBI with Kidnapping, Extortion: IT'S THE SAME COP THAT KIDNAPPED A FEDERALJACK.COM REPORTER!
Richard Anastasi, who served as a Miami Beach Police officer until last December, kidnapped a Russian national last week, tortured him with threats of violence and tried to extort $100,000 from his family, federal prosecutors say.
Richard Anastasi, a former Miami Beach cop, is charged in a bizarre kidnapping.
Anastasi, who is 47, and an accomplice, 42-year old Francisco Arias, were charged this afternoon with taking a hostage with the purpose of obtaining a ransom.
Both men have admitted to tormenting the victim, prosecutors say. Anastasi claimed he was trying to use "police techniques" to recoup money he'd lost to the man in an identity theft scheme.
The twisted case began just after midnight last Thursday, prosecutors say.
The victim, an unnamed Russian man, went to an apartment building on West Ave. where he believed a package was waiting for him.
Instead, Anastasi and Arias were outside. Anastasi had retired from the MBPD on Dec. 6, according to police records, after almost 14 years on the force.
They forced the victim into a Jeep and sped off — and thus began a nightmare of threatened castration, forced dentistry and gunshots, prosecutors say.
Anastasi and Arias drove the victim to a house on SW 198th St. Along the way, prosecutors allege, Anastasi passed a knife to his accomplice and told him to cut off the victim's testicles. Arias ripped into his pants with the knife.
At the house, the pair allegedly pointed a semiautomatic rifle with a laser sight at his head, and "advised the victim he was going to kill the victim and use him as fertilizer," the complaint says.
The victim "begged for his life," according to the complaint, and promised the men money. They then forced him to call his mom in Russia and wire $1,000. Arias allegedly called the money "bond" and said they'd let the man go only to get $100,000 for the men.
Around 8:30 a.m. — eight hours after his abduction — Anastasi and Arias dropped the victim off back in Miami Beach.
The victim didn't hear from the pair again until this Monday. Anastasi and Arias showed up at his house, the complaint says, and posed as cops to get entrance from his roommate. When the roommate asked for ID, Anastasi "lifted his shirt to reveal his firearm and asked if (the roommate) had any other questions."
Twenty minutes later, the victim returned home. Both men beat him, the complaint says, and Arias twice choked him into unconsciousness.
They then kidnapped him again. Inside the car, Arias allegedly pulled out pliers. He put the tool to the man's tooth, the feds say, and said "that for every tooth he extracted, he would reduce the amuont of money owed by $50."
Feds started tapping the victims phone the next day, after he complained.
Yesterday, with the feds listening in, the victim told the men he had money and asked to meet at 14th and Collins Ave. around 4 p.m. When the pair rolled up in a black SUV, the FBI swooped in.
Inside the SUV, they found quite the kidnapper's handbag: a shotgun, rifle, handgun, portable radios, duct tape, flex handcuffs, binoculars and Anastasi's police ID badges.
Anastasi told federal agents that he'd had his identity stolen and "that he used his skills as a former police officer" to go after the men who'd stolen it. He admitted to posing as a cop and trying to scare the victim, though he denied trying to extort money from him.
Both men face potential life sentences if they're convicted of the charges.

A: In your entry function you overwrite self.entry, which is the name of the function, with a reference to a Label. When the button then calls self.entry it isn't function.
Simply call the Label something else.

At a time when we should be pulling together, we're pulling apart, consumed with partisanship, pessimism, anger and excuses.
Somewhere in the world, as you're reading these words, a group is meeting to discuss how to win their economic competition with America and take your job. They might be government officials collaborating with businesses. Or workers offering suggestions about how to be more efficient. Someone is hurrying into the office with a new idea or invention. Others are loading goods for shipment to your local Wal-mart or boutique store.
These competitors are hungry and determined to win the 21st century economic competition for middle-class jobs. They may be behind us now, but they've been gaining steadily. As hard as we work, most of them work harder and get paid less for it. And their kids spend a lot more time at school learning mathematics and science than ours do.
They represent the most serious challenge to America since World War II. But look at how different our response is to today's challenge than it was in 1941. During WWII, the country united in a way that had never happened before and hasn't since. Most every American was connected and organized as one team with one cause. That brief period of unity had an astonishing effect on the country that reverberated for decades.
Now we face a new kind of threat that is equally dangerous to our way of life — the threat of economic decline. How are we responding? At exactly the moment when we most need to pull together — to create a kind of Team America or Team Maine — we're pulling apart, consumed with partisanship, pessimism, anger and excuses.
Instead of focusing on the big changes we need to make — in education and training, public-private partnerships, rebuilding infrastructure and opportunity and rewarding success — we argue about small things such as welfare reform and immigration, which are on the margins of the urgent work that needs to be done.
Politics only makes matters worse. Saying dumb things now produces loud applause. Facts matter less than playing to voter's fears and prejudices. A recent analysis of statements by this year's presidential candidates showed that most are now speaking at a sixth- to eighth-grade level. Donald Trump, who is the winner-for-the-moment in this new game, is speaking at a fourth-grade level. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy, it should be noted, all spoke to Americans as adults.
Do we really think that fourth-grade ideas are the solution to our problems? Or that further dividing us by region, race or party affiliation are a winning formula against economic competition? It seems clear now that pettiness and the pessimism are making it impossible for us to confront today's greatest challenges. The only answer: more adults and less division.
Here's an illustration from our history on how to win. During the Great Depression, in the 1930s, President Roosevelt experimented with any idea that might pull us from the brink of financial and political disintegration. He also made hundreds of speeches to get the economy going again.
Of all the things that Roosevelt did or said, none was more powerful than a few simple words that focused on America's drift toward despair and resignation. He didn't speak about policies or programs, or who was to blame. Instead, he talked about confidence and hope, which were then under a withering strain.
In his first inaugural address to Congress, in 1933, Roosevelt said; "The only thing we have to fear … is fear itself." FDR knew, at a deeply personal level, the dangers of defeatism and pessimism and how they can block recovery and renewal. Struck down by polio when he was 39, at what was then the peak of his physical and political power, Roosevelt was never again able to walk unaided.
Over a two-year period, he fought the degeneration of his muscles, exercising constantly. Within a year, he was able to walk again, with help. Ten years later, he was the president of the United States. Throughout that two-year struggle, Roosevelt insisted that only optimistic and hopeful people could be around him.
Roosevelt literally lifted himself up with the strength of his personal determination, willing himself back into public life and into our history books. And then he helped a nation lift itself up.
What Roosevelt understood, for himself and for the country, was that without a positive attitude and effective teamwork, no great victories can be achieved. Today, we could use more Roosevelts and a lot fewer Trumps.


THE demand for handicraft items made from coconut trees on Taveuni have prompted a plea for women in rural areas to make use of their coconut plantations for income-generating purposes.
The products which are made by students at the Department of Agriculture's Wholenut Processing Centre is becoming popular among expatriates, hoteliers and residents.
Head of training at the centre Susana Yalikanacea said women in villages could earn money from making use of the coconut trees that grow abundantly in villages.
"After seeing the demand for our handicraft items, I have encouraged our mostly women students from rural areas to go back and ensure they teach other women what they've learnt. It will benefit women and their families as well," Mrs Yalikanacea said.

Missouri River Floodplain Owners Seeking a "Double-Take" from the Taxpayers
Christine Klein | April 21, 2014
Landowners flooded by the Missouri River in 2011 have sued the Corps of Engineers for a Fifth Amendment "taking" under the U.S. Constitution. Their attorneys hope to rake in over $250 million in claims for their clients and at least $1 million in expenses and fees for themselves. They're likely to be disappointed.
Lawsuits seeking recovery of flood damages from the federal government almost always fail. First, the United States is immune from suit for negligent construction or handling of flood control structures under the sovereign immunity shield of the 1928 Flood Control Act, as plaintiffs whose lives were destroyed when levees failed during Hurricane Katrina quickly discovered. My co-author Christine Klein and I have called for a repeal of this provision in our article and book on Unnatural Disasters, but it hasn't happened.
In hopes of avoiding the immunity problem, the Missouri River plaintiffs have brought a claim under the Fifth Amendment, which is not barred by the Flood Control Act. However, this claim is just as unlikely to stick, for good reason. As we document in our previous work, courts find that floodplain management constitutes a regulatory taking in only the rarest of cases, whether the impact to private property occurs through land use restrictions on construction or through flood control structures like dams and levees. This is because the impact is neither a "permanent physical occupation" of the property by the government, nor is it an excessive regulation that deprives property of "all economically beneficial use" or has otherwise gone "too far" in adversely affecting reasonable investment-backed expectations of the floodplain owners (in the words of the U.S. Supreme Court). It is simply not reasonable to settle in the floodplain and expect that the property will never flood.
These plaintiffs are attempting to bring their claims within the purview of a 2012 Supreme Court case, Arkansas FGC v. U.S, where a landowner (the State Fish & Game Commission) prevailed on its claim that the Corps had physically taken a flowage easement over its land. The case raised a unique set of facts and the decision is a remarkably narrow one, and it is completely inapposite to what happened on the Missouri River. Here's why.
In Arkansas, the Corps opted to depart from its Water Control Plan for the dam in question by releasing water over longer periods each year during a seven-year period, not because of any physical imperative (e.g., unusual amounts of rain or snow) but because farmers urged it to do so to keep their croplands dry for longer periods during harvests. The deviation caused a dramatic increase in flooding in a wildlife management area owned by the State, causing widespread and permanent damage to its trees. The flooding was significant enough, for long enough periods, to change the character of the area and to substantially interfere with the State's ability to use its land. The Corps had effectively taken title to the land without going through the appropriate processes for exercising the government's power of eminent domain.
In stark contrast to the 2011 Missouri River flood, the Corps' intentional flooding of Arkansas's land was the direct and proximate cause of the foreseeable destruction of the State's property. The Corps deviated from its Arkansas Plan in order to benefit the farmers, when it knew (or should have known) that the deviation would inevitably destroy the State's land. The Corps created winners and losers, and the Supreme Court forced it to pay the loser.
On the Missouri, the 2011 flood made losers out of just about everyone. The Corps' flood control structures were taxed to their limits by unprecedented amounts of snowmelt and rain over a long period of time in the spring and summer of 2011. In April, Rocky Mountain snowpack was 140% of normal; later in the summer, rainfall was three to six times normal in the upper Missouri River Basin. At Sioux City, Iowa (the demarcation between the upper and lower river), runoff measured 13.8 million acre feet (MAF), smashing the old 1952 record of 13.2 MAF. The third wettest month ever documented on the Missouri River happened to be May 2011 (10.5 MAF) and the fifth wettest was July 2011 (10 MAF). See National Weather Service, The Historic Missouri River Flood of 2011; Senate Report 112-075 – Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill, 2012. That water had to go somewhere, and once the dams were filled to capacity, it went downstream and into the floodplain, as rivers naturally do (especially the Missouri, which is widely known for its flood-prone tendencies).
The plaintiffs argue that the Corps has abandoned its flood control mission in favor of other priorities on the Missouri River. Specifically, they claim that the Corps kept the reservoirs full in the spring to benefit recreation and endangered species, and that fuller reservoirs means less storage for flood waters. The factual record doesn't back them up, and the law is more nuanced than they allege. In truth, Congress directed the Corps to build the dams and manage the system for seven purposes in addition to flood control: navigation; hydropower; water quality; water supply; irrigation; recreation; and fish and wildlife. Flood control and navigation may be toward the top of the list, but they are far from the only concerns that drive river management. More to the point, none of the other purposes were prioritized at the expense of flood control in 2011. The Missouri River system was operated in accordance with the Master River Manual in response to abnormal snowmelt and rainfall that just kept coming for months on end. The operations were dictated by conditions, not by other priorities. Sometimes, the river simply reclaims its floodplain, despite human efforts to hold it back.
The tired refrain that the government elevated the concerns of fish over people is a red herring. The real problem is that people wanted to settle in the floodplain, so the federal government undertook flood control, which prompted more people to move into harm's way. It's ironic that the landowners who cry "foul" today have received a bounty of flood control-related benefits from the government through the years. No doubt the flood damage to their properties in 2011 would have been worse if the federal government hadn't built dams and other structures on the Missouri River. Consider the 1993 flood, which set the record for the highest water level in Kansas City, but resulted in much lower discharges (flooding) than pre-dam floods in the 1800s and early to mid-1900s.
Meanwhile, individuals and communities who chose to reside in the floodplain demanded additional protection through the construction of levees, dikes, and revetments on the river and its tributaries, along with subsidized flood and crop insurance. Once they put themselves in harm's way (aided and abetted by government), it's only natural for sympathetic officials to provide federally funded disaster relief when the inevitable happens. These are policy choices that the government and floodplain communities have made throughout the many years of floodplain occupation, and we can argue the pros and cons of these choices until we're out of breath without ever reaching a consensus. Don't get us wrong—no one wants to see human suffering in the wake of a flood. But adding a constitutional takings claim to the list of government payouts demanded by property owners is a wholly unwarranted sort of "double take" from the government (and the taxpayers) (see Unnatural Disasters Chapter 10). Instead, we should be talking about how to make people safer, how to make buildings more flood resilient, and about cases where it is more prudent to retreat from the floodplain and out of harm's way.

A gaming computer, also known as a gaming PC or gaming rig, is a personal computer designed for playing video games that require a high amount of computing power. A modern gaming computer is comparable to a mainstream computer with the addition of performance-oriented components, such as high-performance video cards and high core-count central processing units. Gaming computers are often associated with enthusiast computing due to an overlap in interests; however, while a gaming computer is built to achieve performance for actual gameplay, enthusiast PCs are built to maximize performance, using games as a real application benchmark. Whereas enthusiast PCs are high-end by definition, gaming PCs can be subdivided into low-end, mid-range, and high-end markets. Video card manufacturers earn the bulk of their revenue from their low-end and mid-range offerings.[1]
Because of the large variety of parts that can go into a computer built to play video games, gaming computers are frequently custom-assembled, rather than pre-assembled, either by gaming and hardware enthusiasts or by companies that specialize in producing custom gaming machines. In order to generate interest, gaming computer manufacturers that sell complete systems often produce boutique models, allowing them to compete on aesthetic design in addition to the hardware inside.

Historically gaming computers had several distinct hardware components that set them apart from a typical PC. The push for better graphics began with color fidelity, from display systems such as CGA eventually graduating to VGA, which was adopted for the mass market. Gaming also led the push for the adoption of sound cards, a component that is now commonly integrated onto motherboards.
In the 1980s, several non-IBM PC compatible platforms gained a measure of popularity due to advanced graphics and sound capabilities, starting with the Atari 400/800 and the TI 99/4, and then continuing with others such as the Commodore 64 and eventually the Amiga. Video game developers of the time targeted these platforms for their games, though typically they would later port their games to the more common PC and Apple platforms as well. The MSX was also popular in Japan, where it preceded the video game console revolution.[2] Japan also had several other popular gaming computers during the 1980s to early 1990s, including the very popular PC-88 and PC-98 as well as the powerful X68000 and FM Towns.[3]
By 1993, PC-compatibles were the standard for gaming in the US. Computer Gaming World stated in January:[4]
We think it would be a mistake to get anything less than a 386 clone with, at least a clock speed of 33 mhz. If possible, get a 486 clone with a faster speed. Get four megabytes of RAM and at least 100 MB on your hard disk. If you've never dealt with a C> prompt before, do yourself a favor and put Windows on the machine as your primary interface. If you're comfortable with the same DOS that you see on your friends' machines, go with DOS 5.0. Get a mouse, if you can afford it, and a sound card that is either AdLib or Soundblaster compatible. If you do win the lottery, throw in a CD-ROM, too. That's the basic game machine for today's games.
In September, the magazine replied to a reader asking for "the current '486' desktop dream machine for playing computer games":[5]

250 megabyte and up, SCSI 2 Hard Drive.
SCSI 2 host adapter with cache memory.
MPC Level 2 CD-ROM.
SoundBlaster 16 ASP w/ Roland Sound Canvas SC-7 module.

Falcon Northwest began advertising in Computer Gaming World in 1993, claiming that the "Falcon MACH series are the first personal computers designed especially for the serious gamer in mind".[6] Computer Gaming World reiterated in 1994, "we have to advise readers who want a machine that will play most of the games to purchase high-end MS-DOS machines".[7] The magazine reported in August that the 80486DX at 33 MHz was the "minimum machine for the rest of 1994".[8]
LAN parties helped to promote the use of network cards and routers among consumers. This equipment is now commonly used by non-gamers with broadband Internet access to share the connection with multiple computers in the home. Like sound cards, network adapters are now commonly integrated onto motherboards.
In modern times, the primary difference between a gaming computer and a comparable mainstream PC is the inclusion of a performance-oriented video card, which hosts a graphics processor and dedicated memory. These are generally a requirement to play modern games on the market.
Forays into physics processing have also been made, though with Nvidia's buyout of PhysX[9] and Intel's buyout of Havok,[10] plans are that this functionality will be combined with existing CPU or GPU technologies.
Custom-built gaming computers[edit]
By 2012, it had become increasingly popular for gamers to custom-build their own PC, allowing for more budget control and easier upgradability.[11] More often than not, it is possible to maximize performance for the best value when building a gaming computer. There are several components that must be considered when building a gaming computer, which include CPUs, memory, a motherboard, video cards, solid-state drives, power supplies, and cases.[12]
When building a custom built gaming PC, builders usually turn to independent benchmarks to help make their hardware selection. Organizations such as AnandTech and Tom's Hardware Guide provide such benchmarks and hardware reviews. The benchmarks include ratings for PC components that are necessary to build a gaming computer. It is also crucial to consider computer cooling, as this is required to remove the waste heat produced by a computer's components.
Video cards[edit]
An example of an NVIDIA GPU (GeForce 10 series).
A video card is essential to any gaming computer, and connects to a motherboard using the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI Express or PCI-E). There are two major manufacturers of GPUs for a gaming computer, AMD and NVIDIA.[13] These companies provide GPUs which other companies, such as MSI and ASUS, then design circuit boards and cooling shrouds for.[13] Most graphics cards cost from $200 to $2,000. Modern consumer-grade CPUs often have on-die integrated GPUs; however, these GPUs typically do not provide the adequate performance for playing graphics-intensive games, and are instead aimed primarily for less demanding workloads such as graphical user interface rendering for "everyday" tasks, video playback, and light gaming.
Processors[edit]
A major component of a gaming computer is the processor, or CPU (central processing unit). There are two major brands that manufacture CPUs, AMD and Intel.[14] As of 2019, most gaming computers are built with Intel's Ice Lake or AMD's Ryzen 2 CPUs.[14] While a powerful CPU is important to avoid bottlenecks, after a certain level of CPU power, diminishing returns become evident if the PC is not being used for other, more CPU-intensive purposes.[14]
Motherboards[edit]
Motherboards that are designed for gaming computers are differentiated from their normal counterparts by being created with case windows in mind; having more visually appealing designs, sturdier materials, and, in some models, built-in LED lighting.[15] They also have the capability to overclock certain models of CPUs, and an increased number of various connection ports.[15]
Memory[edit]
Random-access memory (RAM) is one of the most important components for a gaming computer. Computers designed for playing games often are supplied with a high amount of RAM.
DDR memory[edit]
DDR (double data rate) memory is essential for any computer system. Adding more memory allows the CPU to address more data for it to quickly access instead of reading off a comparatively slow disk drive or solid-state storage device. DDR SDRAM also has much lower latency than its GDDR counterpart and much lower bandwidth as the CPU relies on being able to change small amounts of data quickly. The latest standard of DDR memory is DDR4L.
GDDR memory[edit]
GDDR (graphical double data rate) memory is a type of memory required for the operation of any PCIe graphics card and is built directly onto the card itself. The amount of RAM built onto a graphics card allows the GPU to quickly access data such as textures instead of reading from a much slower storage device. Having more GDDR memory allows the system to handle higher levels of spatial anti-aliasing and more complex textures. GDDR memory has a much higher latency when compared to DDR memory but also has a much larger bandwidth, thus allowing the GPU to deal with larger amounts of data at a slower rate when compared to a CPU. The latest revision of GDDR memory is GDDR6.
High bandwidth memory (HBM)[edit]
HBM is a type of memory required for the operation of any PCIe graphics card, and is placed directly beside the GPU itself on the graphics card. This is different to standard GDDR as standard GDDR memory sits on the PCB of the graphics card. The main advantages of having the memory mounted so close to the GPU itself are as follows; reduced latency due to signals travelling a shorter distance, more bandwidth due to more space for data lanes, and decreased power consumption due to inherent differences to GDDR on the microscopic level. The latest revision of HBM is HBM2.
Solid-state drives[edit]
Solid-state drives (SSD) are a newer form of data storage which is gaining in popularity. The more common and traditional hard disk drive (HDD) is still the more widely used, but many gaming enthusiasts are turning to SSDs in favor of the advantages they offer over HDDs. Unlike HDDs, SSDs have no moving mechanical parts, meaning they are less susceptible to shock and also run silently. SSDs also offer faster access time, as HDDs require time in order for the moving parts to speed up to operating specifications. An SSD can be 4 or 5 times faster than a traditional HDD. For an SSD, files open almost instantly.[16] This means with an SSD, booting up a system and launching programs take less time.[17] SSDs will increase the performance of a system by how often the game accesses the drive in order to load items from the game such as level files and texture images.[18] However, SSDs cost much more than HDDs do per gigabyte, meaning in terms of pure capacity, they are not as cost effective. They also currently offer a lower common maximum capacity than HDDs.
Power supply units[edit]
Although occasionally overlooked, the power supply unit (PSU) is still an important component to consider. The wattage needed to run a system is dependent on the hardware, so often a PSU calculator is used to determine the wattage needed.[19] In addition, future upgrades to a gaming rig will possibly require more power, and PSUs lose power as they age, so it is often a good idea to buy a PSU that has the capability of lasting through several years and upgrades. The PSU must also be compatible with the other hardware pieces.
There are two types of PSUs, modular PSUs (MPSU) and non-modular PSUs. Non-modular PSUs come with fixed cables, meaning unused ones will be left unconnected. Modular power supplies have cables that are detachable so unused cables do not create excess clutter but are often more expensive than their non-modular counterparts.[20] Both fulfill the same purpose, but often Modular PSUs are preferred because they allow for better cable management, as they remove the issue of unused cable clutter that non-modular PSUs often have.[21] Semi modular power supplies come with only the necessary cables fixed, while cables that are not necessarily needed are able to be detached.[20]
Cooling systems[edit]
Many gamers and computer enthusiasts choose to overclock their CPU(s) and GPU(s) in order to gain extra performance. The added power draw needed to overclock either processing unit often requires additional cooling to what the original equipment manufacturer shipped their product with, most notably in the case of CPUs. Two types of mainstream cooling exist, air cooling and water cooling. Air cooling,[22] the more common of the two, uses a heat sink often in conjunction with heat pipes or vapor chambers to move heat away from the component and dissipate it into the air. Water cooling is somewhat more complex, it makes use of water blocks, radiators, pumps, tubing and optionally a reservoir. Water removes heat by running water through a block affixed to the component and then allowing the water time in the radiator in order to cool off. Fans are often used to increase a radiator's rate of heat dissipation.[23]
Case[edit]
Choosing a computer case involves several considerations. For one, there is a large range of sizes. A larger gaming tower will allow for future upgrades and more movement. The case must also be compatible with the motherboard's form factor. Because games are oftentimes demanding on a system, one of the most important factors of choosing a case is cooling. In order to avoid the risk of overheating hardware, a computer case with good airflow and a quality fan will go a long way in ensuring proper cooling.[24] Other additional features such as fan speed controllers, filters for dust management, and clear side panels are all useful as well. Custom-building allows a builder to personalize their case if they so desire for aesthetic purposes. There are many designs for computer cases so the builder can choose to their liking.
Pre-built computers[edit]
An example of a pre-built gaming computer showing the case lighting used for the rig.
While many "advanced" gamers build their gaming PCs themselves, some choose to go with pre-built or custom-built gaming PCs. These PCs can often be more expensive than building one's own, with higher premiums attached to high-end brands with varying levels of customer service.
Different companies offer varying degrees of customization. While established gaming computers such as Alienware offer unique case designs and little customization from the user prior to purchase, other smaller firms allow a greater degree of customization and better value-for-money, often to the same extent as if the user were to build the computer themselves.
There are however, drawbacks to building one's own computer. Assembling a computer means being personally responsible for any problems that may arise, both during the assembly phase, and after it is in regular use. Instead of using a single technical support hotline to cover the entire system, often one will have to deal with individual component manufacturers.
Due to the wide inconsistencies in after-purchase support from component manufacturers, trying to get support can be a daunting task. Customer support is a major reason why even extreme gaming enthusiasts may look to a system integrator for their custom PC builds. There are many positive aspects in choosing to build one's own system, such as no longer being tied to specific configurations. Pricing on individual components is often better, and thus can save quite a lot of money on a comparable pre-built system. Warranties are often included with the price of each individual piece of hardware when building a PC, whereas a prebuilt PC's warranty may cost an additional fee or may be as little as 1 or 2 years for the entire system. Those who choose to build their own PC often seek help from an online community or forum in the absence of a consumer helpline.[25]
One major drawback of buying a prebuilt gaming PC aside from the extra cost is that they are often built with a very powerful CPU, but with a relatively weak graphics card. This results in a "gaming" PC that performs poorly in gaming for the price paid. Most games today do not benefit much from having a very powerful CPU with more than 4 CPU cores and hyper-threading,[26] but benefits greatly with a more powerful graphics card.
Gaming laptop computers[edit]
Gaming laptops such as MSI, Acer, Asus are the mobile equivalent of gaming desktops and are usually more expensive than their desktop counterparts. Currently, most gaming laptops like MSI, Acer, Asus feature more power efficient versions of high end desktop graphics cards, which nevertheless still significantly drain the battery, and necessitate more advanced systems. One recent development by Nvidia is SLI for laptops. Generally, gaming laptops are not considered "rigs" as the term can also refer to the physical size of the system. Modern gaming laptops can achieve respectable game performance, but never quite match desktops in a class to class comparison, and most do not feature upgradeable graphics cards.
Due to the relatively small size that the hardware has to fit in, cooling the heat intensive components is a major problem affecting the performance of such laptops, usually causing degraded value for money performance wise. Attempts at using the same performance hardware as desktops usually end in a decreased clock frequency of graphics chips to reduce heat, causing the poor value for money.
One can find many value recommendations across the World Wide Web on websites like TechRadar or Tom's Hardware.
The introduction of the Nvidia GTX 900M series of mobile GPUs in late 2014 represented a significant advancement from the previous 800M series, lessening the gap with desktop systems and making gaming laptops a more viable alternative to desktop PCs.
A newer approach in the gaming PC industry is to create small form factor desktops that are more compact and easier to transport than a normal full sized system.

Posted September 2016
A unique part of the MPTT programme is our navigators, who mentor students every step of the way and help ensure they're ready for work. After a year of working with our trainees, navigator Awhina Kanohi shares her insights and explains more about the role.
Awhina Kanohi is on a mission to help young people build satisfying careers in the trades.
While working for Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei she has honed a passion for helping Māori find sustainable work with supportive employers. In her role as an MPTT navigator, she helps link trainees with solid career opportunities in their chosen trade.
"Unfortunately some of our whānau have been collateral damage. They get brought on as casual workers and are not really given opportunities to become a permanent staff member with additional perks. They go into that cycle of casual work, and that's not a nice environment for anyone – it's not stable at all."
That's why Awhina wants to see more trainees join the MPTT programme, to help them gain a qualification and develop the right skills for work – from communicating with employers to getting their CV in order.
A major goal of MPTT is to nurture more Māori and Pasifika into leadership positions, such as supervisors or business owners.
"It's about increasing their quality of life, because we know when that happens the whole family is advantaged."
Awhina sees the navigator role as a link between different groups in the programme – the trainees, polytechnics, employers, and MPTT.
In particular, she's focused on making changes within training organisations to make it easier for students to later find work.
"If the students aren't coming out of the programme ready for work, that tells me there's something wrong internally. So I look at what the existing systems are, and what we might be missing.
Navigators also act as mentors, working closely with trainees as they journey towards becoming qualified.
Awhina meets students one-on-one and holds 'work-ready workshops' at polytechnics, where she identifies anything that might prevent trainees from gaining employment, and helps them make plans to address these obstacles.
At these workshops, trainees who meet the criteria are given MPTT's 'Work Readiness Passport' – a stamp of approval from the navigator that a trainee not only knows their trade, but also has the personal and worksite skills required to make it on the job.
"I look at their work readiness from the get-go and identify barriers to employment straight away. And then when I talk with them one-on-one, I'll highlight those things and ask questions like, 'When were you thinking of getting your drivers licence? Do you have whānau support to help with childcare?' I get into their world a little bit and identify how I can help."
She also talks to other people who interact with the trainees throughout the year, such as polytechnic tutors.
"I find out about the trainee's attitude and their attendance, and get a feel for how motivated they are. I also look at the basics such as whether they have a CV. If they're not ready, we look at what they need to work on before we get them in front of an employer."
As well as evaluating students, Awhina considers whether employers will be a good fit for the trainee.
"I look at what support they're going to offer and what they're like as an employer. How willing are they to help the student? Will the student just become another cog in the machine?
"For me, it's a personal responsibility to ensure that who they end up with is an employer that's going to support them."
Note: Awhina's contract as an MPTT Navigator came to an end in June 2016. To find one of our current Navigators, visit http://www.maoripasifikatrades.co.nz/navigators/

You are not lucky to find a good top — a good top Download Stumble Guys APK for Android is lucky to find you. When I first came out of the closet, I announced myself as a top. I did this so that the straight men around me would see me closer to being an equal. I was afraid of femininity and afraid of what I perceived as gay stereotypes and "flamboyance," and I did everything I could to appear differently — including calling guys "bro" and topping only .

Having an offline-only mode that can't interact with the online game is certainly an option they could have pursued, but don't think that it's a simple thing to do. Its pretty bad for an online only game, to not remember what parts of the map you have previously explored, when you log back in. Enough people do enjoy it to make it financially viable. There are plenty of other DRM free games that the purists can play. The online and offline can be separate as they are in almost all other games though. I really dislike the fact that you cant enjoy the game, offline.

Frank Espejo pulled up quickly to the curb, hopped out of the car and dropped two DVDs into the big red box in front of the Winn-Dixie on University Boulevard.
"It's just convenient," he said. After all, he was on his way to work and didn't have a lot of time.
He had been there just the night before, putting his credit card in and taking out "Drag Me to Hell" and "Pandemic" for $1 each per night. Now, he was done and back they went.
In the age of on-demand video, movies on your iPod and digital everything, the success of a technology as old as the Coke machine is creating quite a tizzy. In just five years, Redbox has grown from a dozen locations to 20,000 by the end of the year.
There are more than 350 Redboxes in the Jacksonville area, a company spokesman said. Most sit outside Winn-Dixies and Walgreens, inside Walmarts and both inside and outside of McDonalds.
Not long after Espejo dropped his two movies off, Tim Dyal stepped up to the refrigerator-sized machine, squinted at the screen in the afternoon sun, slipped in his credit card and made his choice: "The Haunted Airman" and "The Maiden Heist."
Dyal is a schoolteacher who's taking time off to take care of an aging and ill father. He rents movies only a couple of times a month, but always from Redbox. He used to use Blockbuster, but not anymore.
"This is cheaper, it's easier," he said. "Blockbuster seemed to change its policies all the time. Every few months, they were changing the late fees or something else."
Redbox, based in Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., also is causing a stir in Hollywood, where movie industry executives are furious over the company's rent-'em-cheap-when-they're-new business model.
The two sides have exchanged harsh words, and Redbox has sued three studios in a fight over the company's effort to circumvent a long-standing distribution hierarchy.
Movies traditionally get released first in theaters, then the DVD version becomes available for sale or rental at full price, typically about $4. Finally, about 30 days later, the videos can be rented or seen online or on pay-per-view starting at about $2.
Redbox has been able to go its own way because its business model, without brick-and-mortar stores, is inexpensive. Everything comes out of its machines for $1, and the company, a unit of Washington state-based Coinstar Inc., says another Redbox machine goes up every hour. Each box contains about 700 DVDs.
For Hollywood, the march of the Redboxes is like a horror flick.
"If movies are devalued in this way, those who work in the movie industry will be directly harmed," the CEO of Hastings Entertainment argued in an opinion article published by trade news organization TheWrap. "Reduced industry revenues mean that fewer movies are producedcdirectly reducing the number of jobs available to people who work both in front of and behind the cameras."
Mitch Lowe, 56, president of Redbox Automated Retail LLC, said the company stepped in when video stores were closing and "the market was trying to push people to buy retail. We figured out an alternative, and we figured out how to develop it at the cheapest cost."
Blockbuster, which closed another 107 stores in the last fiscal year and says it plans to close 810 to 960 more stores through 2010, is copying Redbox by rolling out 2,500 kiosks by the end of this year and another 7,000 by the end of 2010, said spokesman Randy Hargrove. But Blockbuster says it will play by Hollywood's rules. Blockbuster kiosks rent videos for $1, but the company waits a month or more to stock new releases if studios request it.
In Jacksonville, Blockbuster has $1 movie rental machines at most of the local Publix supermarkets locations. Jeff Dudash, spokesperson for National Cash Register, which owns the Blockbuster Express kiosks, said the company has not launched a major push in Northeast Florida, but the Blockbuster kiosks will not be limited to Publix.
The Redbox model works, Lowe said, because the boxes are convenient and a visible reminder at the perfect time (on the way home from the grocery store, for instance), while the movies are reasonably priced.
Even with Blockbuster getting into kiosks, Bob Evans, senior research analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, said, "I think it's going to be difficult for Blockbuster to catch them, particularly because they have their own financial issues."
Still, Blockbuster remains the largest player in the rental market.
According to research firm NPD Group Inc., 19 percent of videos are rented at kiosks such as Redbox. That's a huge jump from 2 percent in the first quarter of 2007.
Netflix and other similar businesses account for 36 percent of rentals, while Blockbuster and other traditional brick-and-mortar stores still have 45 percent of the market.
Blockbuster thinks it can remain competitive.
"Even if we might not be the first in market, we think we can be a part of it because of our brand," said Hargrove of Blockbuster.
Meanwhile, Redbox is exploring options that include downloadable videos and video game rentals, Lowe said.
"(Our customers) are telling us that they have really fallen in love with Redbox. But they're also telling us that they really want films in lots of different ways," he said.
But Lowe also said Redbox won't be jumping into anything that its consumer datacculled from biweekly surveys of 20,000 to 40,000 Redbox userscdoesn't show that the consumers want.
"We're going to let the customer decide," he said.
So far, customers are not complaining.
Redbox, with sales of $388.4 million last year, is on track, analysts say, to hit $1 billion in sales in 2010.

Come visit the St. George Art Museum to see its latest gallery exhibit, "The Art of Recycling (Metal & Plastic)." Featuring the work of artists Dana Russell and Sayaka Ganz, this exhibition resounds with the use of recycled materials by turning them into works of genuine art.
Sayaka Ganz grew up with Shinto animist beliefs that all things in the world have spirits. Thus, discarded items on the street or thrift store shelves create a feeling of deep sadness for them, and the artist is moved to make these abandoned objects happy.
"The Art of Recycling (Metal & Plastic)" is now on display at the St. George Art Museum (47 E. 200 North) through April 28, 2018. Admission is $3 for adults, $1 for children age 3-11, with free admission on Thursday nights from 5 to 8 p.m.


Its so comical going to the elementary school to listen to the different bands. In the years that it takes to learn an instrument there's a lot of steps of success and some of failure just like anything else in life. Obviously the young girl trying to play the oboe needed a lot of extra help. After thinking about putting myself in her place I gave her a big round of applause. I probably would have run off the stage with embarrassment. The two boys playing the ukulele's its would have been nice when they were done if they had a uke stand to set their instruments on that were just as big as them.
