The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics™ system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.

Game Features:

During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.
Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers - Force push, grip, repulse and lightning - throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.
Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
- The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls - he'll Force push enemies through walls.
- The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside - he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.
Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
The Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.
LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.

Meet the Cast
The Star Wars Saga will continue in 2008 with LucasArts' biggest-ever video game event. Set during the "dark times" between Episodes III and IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed portrays the previously untold story of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice -- and now you can put a face to that mysterious character as well as the major supporting cast members as LucasArts unveils the actors set to star in The Force Unleashed.

The New Technology of The Force Unleashed
With The Force Unleashed, LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also two completely new and innovative technologies -- Digital Molecular Matter by Pixelux Entertainment and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. These groundbreaking technologies combine with Havoc physics to create true next-gen gameplay and the Force like it's never been seen or experienced before.

Electric Blankets

January 1, 2011 by

Have you ever had an electric blanket? Some people are scared of lying on something that is plugged into the national grid and I have to admit that when I think of electric blankets in that manner, they do sound pretty frightening.

However, there are two types of electric blankets: there are those that are meant to stay on all night and there are those that are intended to be switched off and unplugged before you get into bed.

The second type is naturally the one to be recommended for those of a nervous disposition. I have never owned an electric blanket, because my father said that they were for ‘sissys’, but I have slept in beds that made use of electric blankets.

Whilst I stayed over at my maternal grand-parents’ house or my Aunty Lil’s there was always an electric blanket in the bed. My aunty used a pre-warmer and my grand-parents used the ‘always-on’ kind. As a young boy, I have to say that the ‘always-on’ type of electric blanket was too warm for me.

However, in those days, in the Sixties, homes were not as draft-proof as they are now and I did not know anyone whose house was centrally heated or double glazed. In fact, everyone that I knew used to put an overcoat on the bed in winter if it got particularly cold. It did not cross my mind that that was unusual, everyone did it.

The fact is that some people feel the cold more than others and there are numerous reasons for this ranging from frailty to age and sickness. Another reason for using electric blankets is if it is too costly to heat the whole house or bedroom. It is always going to be cheaper to heat a bed that it is to heat a bedroom. The cost of pre-heating a double bed is still pennies compared with using an electric fire.

Some people, my wife included, likes to maintain the background temperature in the bedroom cold. OK, cold in Thailand is about 20c, but while we were in the UK, she insisted that we slept with the windows open in winter and it was truly cold. She is not alone in liking to sleep in a warm bed while her face is cold. She says that she gets a better night’s sleep in this way.

If you or a sick or old relative wants to try an electric blanket, be careful where you get it from. In saying this I mean be cautious of purchasing a cheap electric blanket from abroad off eBay in case it is not made to run off the electric supply that you have in your country.

You also have to make sure that the blanket conforms to the health and safety laws in your country. Electric blankets are safe if you follow basic health and safety rules, but be cautious of ‘always-on’ blankets if you eat in bed.

Owen Jones, the author of this article, writes on a variety of subjects, but is now involved with Personalized Throw Blankets. If you want to know more, please visit our web site at Woollen Blankets.

Three Terrific Reasons To Have Your Own Website

January 1, 2011 by

Lately it seems like everybody you run into has some kind of online presence. Either a Twitter account, or a Facebook page, it’s as though everybody and their cousin is sharing information online. A recent study concluded that most of it is just mundane activities. Over sixty percent of all tweets, those short messages people publish on Twitter, contained reports of eating a particularly delicious sandwich, or watching a funny movie on TV.

Is there anything else you can publish other than your dinner menu that are of any value? Does it make sense to set up and publish content to your own blog or website on a regular basis? Believe it or not, it does. I’ll give you three strong reasons why everybody, including you, should have their own website.

The primary reason is that it is the easiest way to stay in communication with family and friends. While your Aunt and Uncle may not be interested in what you had for lunch, posting updates and pictures about your work, life and family can make it much easier for everybody to stay up to date. It’s even a great way to communicate back and forth, as blog comments can be an efficient means of staying in touch.

Another powerful reason is that if you are looking for any job, be it your first job out of college, or a mid career change, having your own website is absolutely essential. Imagine a hiring manager considering two potential employees. There’s you, who has a professional website, on a domain in your own name, highlighting your strong points, your successes, and perhaps showcasing a few videos of you or others describing your accomplishments. Your competitor, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found online. Who do you think will get hired?

Another compelling reason is that it can give you a way to express yourself in a way that just didn’t exist a few years ago. If you’ve got any controversial views or ideas that you really want to express, but aren’t sure how people will respond, anonymous blogging is a great solution. There are plenty of anonymous bloggers out there with extremely controversial views that have huge followings and generate involved and heated discussions on their blogs. You may think that you are the only one that thinks the way you do, but when you start blogging, you’ll find there are plenty of like minded people out there.

While these are just the tip of the iceberg, they are three great reasons to get you started. When you establish your online presence, under your real name or a pseudonym, you can promote a professional image, maintain connections with friends or relatives, or simply express yourself the way you’ve always wanted to. Why not get started right now?

Is Twitter Cutting Into Family Time?

January 1, 2011 by

Our world is ever-changing swiftly, and the universe of social media is being changed even faster. Just five years ago no one could have predicted that social networking would be as important as it’s grown to be today.

Nobody thought that Facebook would soon be on a par with Google as the largest traffic website on the internet, and when twitter came to, no body predicted that 140 character messages would be of any use to anyone, but boy was that prediction amiss!

These days, twitter has grown to be a goliath, and considering all of the available applications and modules that you could add to your twitter user, or to a website to incorporate the twitter social network into the website, there is no sign of twitter slowing down any day soon.

Many people are realizing the capability for twitter to become like the subsequent facebook, an omnipotent behemoth that will command the web until someone bigger and improved comes along. Till then, twitter will reign as the number one micro-blogging social network matter of recent history.

With twitter becoming so wide-spread it’s fast coming to the point where a variety of people are wasting way too much of their work time attempting to cope with their twitter pages and discover new followers, and the time has arrived for it to end.

There is no reason that twitterers need to be spending their whole work day attempting to deal with their twitter profile. That’s the reason we’ve brought to public a up-to-date technology commonly known as Twitter Automation.

Twitter Automation enables you to put your Twitter profile on auto-pilot so that you can spend your time engaging in more important things, like getting your jobs done and feeding your hungry family. Countless individuals are now turning to twitter automation to manage their social networking so that they don’t have to squander their productive hours fooling around and trying to find like minded followers.

This new technology works like this. Step 1: you register for a twitter account if you haven’t previously signed up for one, secondly you get yourself a software license and set up your twitter software.

Once you have purchased and installed your package, you may start to set up your automation preferences, choose what types of users you are searching for, add a selection of users to your follow list, and load up several tweets for the twitter management program to post out in the days and weeks to come.

The process of setting up your twitter account automation could require as much as an hour or two, but after it’s all set up you could essentially set it and disregard it. That is what renders it all worth it. To convert an hour or two of your time to set up a program that can potentially save you thousands of hours in the future is not all that very much to sacrifice for most twitter users. Especially if your time blown messing around with twitter is carving into your production or family time.

Starting up your twitter account is simple and by the time it’s ready to go, you can lay back and allow technology take control of everything. Now you can unwind and observe as the twitter friends come to you without you having to contract a muscle.
