The Air Force secretive X-37B space plane stanley shop gets more mysterious by the day. Designed to spend up to nine months on unspecified errands in Earth orbit, the second copy of the Boeing-made craft, known as Orbital Test Vehicle 2, has now been in space for a year and two days vaso stanley and is still going strong. The endurance milestone is unqualified good news for America space force at a time when its funding and future missions are in doubt. There just one thing. We still don ;t know exactly what the 30-foot-long X-37B is doing up there. Since the launch of Orbital Test Vehicle 1 in April 2010, the Air Force has insisted that the X-37 program is a purely scientific endeavor. But analysts say the spacefaring craft, which launches into orbit atop a rocket but glides back to Earth like an airplane, is capable of much more than that. It could be an orbital spy in essence, a more maneuverable satellite. Or it could be used to tamper with enemy satellites. With its pickup-truck-size payload bay, the estimated billion-dollar cra stanley tazas ft could even haul small batches of supplies to the International Space Station. In October, Boeing program manager Art Grantz proposed to build an enlarged X-37C model that could also carry astronauts to the station, filling a gap left by the retired NASA Space Shuttle. Though unlikely, the X-37B could even function as an orbital bomber. You could stick munitions in there, said Eric Sterner, an analyst

With Disney stanley cup graphics and an easy-to-use photo editing app, the Sakar AppClix camera is squarely targeted at kids. But instead of a USB port it includes a 30-pin Apple connector, making me w stanley quencher onder if other camera stanley cup manufacturers will follow suit. With a seven megapixel sensor, 4X zoom, a 1.5 inch LCD display, and a microSD card slot, the $60 AppClix serves as a perfectly suitable standalone digital camera for young aspiring photographers. But instead of connecting to a PC to edit and share photos, it attaches directly to the iPad dock connector. An accompanying app lets kids do basic edits and add Disney themed graphics and backgrounds to their shots, or just upload them to the iPad camera roll and share them over email, Facebook, etc. The same thing can be accomplished by using Apple Camera Connection Kit, but with an Apple dock connector built in it removes the need for external accessories. And while connecting a giant DSLR to the bottom of your iPad is impractical, it could be really convenient for smaller cameras when you just quickly want to share a couple of photos without booting up your laptop.

The Soundworks Collection has released a mini-documentary about how the epic sound of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journ stanley quencher ey was created. From begininning to end, Peter Jackson team used more advanced tech than on the original Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Despite having three films worth of Middle Earth sound to draw on, basically everything for the new films was re-recorded on location in New Zealand. That means all of those cave sounds you hear throughout the film were actually painstakingly stanley thermos mug recorded in caves. The problem is that existing library from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was all recorded at 16-bit/44.1 kHz, and the sound designers wanted to capture everything in high-definition, 24-bit/48 kHz. Beyond entirely new source material, The Hobbit mixers had access to Dolby Atmos this time around. The new theatrical sound system allows designers to plot sound elements to individual speakers around and above the theater. Compared to a simpler 5.1 surround sound design, Atmos allows designers to create more immersive soun stanley cup ds. So when Peter Jackson wants a battle to sound like a nightmare鈥攊t does.

Perhaps implicitly responding to the heavy criticism of Cars 2 generally considered the studio first outright flop Lasseter and the various creative teams were quick to stress that Brave and the two previously unannounced projects are all entirely original films, and that Monsters University is being made because they found a story worth telling that was as good or better than that of Monsters, Inc.

Still, for the first time in its 15 years of making movies, Pixar is arguably not playing from a position of strength.

And, generally speaking, what I saw looked like the Pixar of Wall-E and Toy Story 3 rather than that of Cars 2. Let start with Brave. Lasseter reeled off all the firsts

You love spaceship fights and zooming through futuristic cities like Coruscant. But you also love gladiator fights and seeing 1920s Atlantic City recreated for Boardwalk Empire. Why is that Though historical fiction is supposedly based in facts about the past, the genre has a surprising amount in common with the speculative tales of science fiction. Here are ten major themes and ideas shared by HF and SF. Art by Keith Thompson. Please note that this list isn ;t intended to be totalizing. Not all SF and all HF have these themes in common, obviously. Think of this story as creating a Venn Diagram of SF and HF, then describing what in that lozenge-shaped overlapping area. 1. Building a world One of the most important parts of effective SF and HF is the creators ; ability to build a world. There a reason why SF filmmaker and special effects wizard James Cameron put as much FX work into Titanic as he did into Aliens, stanley cup The Abyss and Terminator 2. Bringing a historical period to life, with all its crazy details and lost customs, can actually be more difficult than creating an alternate reality out of whole cloth. Some of today great literary writers, like Thomas Pyncheon and Margaret Atwood, have jumped easily from HF to SF in their novels precisely because both have a keen sense of detail. 2.
