![]() ![]() Possession by the denizens of hell, Event Horizon teaches us, has its victims reciting Latin, snacking on human flesh, and indulging in harsh bouts of scarification. The story also carries more than a trace of British horror writer Clive Barker, with its diabolical themes and Hellraiser-esque S&M kinkiness. Pickier viewers might wonder why a space ship would have quite so many spikes, coffin-shaped corridors and other sharp edges that would count as a health and safety hazard, but they’d surely concede that the Event Horizon’s interior looks quite unlike any other sci-fi film of its era. ![]() Yet much of the film’s macabre atmosphere and engagingly spiky imagery still shines through and, even in the face of critical and financial calamity, Event Horizon eventually found a cult following.Įvent Horizon’s production design, meanwhile, is pure Gothic – built in the mid-21st century, the ship of the film’s title is distinctly medieval revival in style, all flying buttresses, vaulted ceilings and ornate pillars. The result is a movie that bears the scars of its hurried making, not least in its final reel, which was re-shot and reworked more than once in Event Horizon’s chaotic post-production. Much – though by no means all – of the gore was excised, but gone too were a string of tension- and story-building scenes. ![]() Within a week, he and editor Martin Hunter had hacked Event Horizon right down to the bone – the duration of the final cut ran to a lean 95 minutes. Suddenly anxious about a film they’d previously championed, Paramount demanded that the film be cut down by about half an hour, and Anderson, running out of time and left dazed by the toxic reaction at the screening, acquiesced. The screening was, Anderson admitted, “Disastrous. Cannibalism, evisceration, dismemberment… if Paramount was expecting a spooky, darkly fun rollercoaster ride for the summer multiplex crowd, Event Horizon clearly wasn’t it. It wasn’t the lack of polish that left audiences reeling, however, but rather the sheer level of the gore and violence. That edit ran to around 130 minutes, and it was still rough around the edges – digital wire removal hadn’t yet taken place on some of the zero-gravity sequences, several effects shots were missing, and the sound still had to be mixed. Then came the moment of reckoning: an initial screening where both Paramount executives and test audiences would see the assembly cut of Event Horizon for the first time. Anderson found himself working seven day weeks to get the film in the can and, just to add to the stress, he still had more shooting to complete during the first two weeks of editing. The initial cut of Event Horizon was therefore assembled over the course of four stressful weeks – an absurdly compressed schedule, especially for a film with so many complicated visual effects. The studio wanted Event Horizon ready for August 1997, giving Anderson just six weeks to edit the movie. But the deal came with a catch: with Titanic delayed, Paramount had a gap in its summer schedule. Paramount was willing to foot a generous budget, too – something in the region of $60 million. Anderson was given plenty of creative latitude to forge his own idea of what Event Horizon should look like, and the director quickly jetisoned the alien infestation of Philip Eisner’s original script and began imagining something far more gothic and diabolical. ![]() The vehicles don't come off too badly either - crank up the visual settings and they become shinier than Kojak's bonce, and when you eventually come to an abrupt halt against the scenery (which you will) the entire thing crumples into a ball in a delightfully convincing fashion. While you'll usually be whistling past most of this stuff at a bowel-loosening rate of knots, it all combines to ensure that DiRT2s circuits are drenched with atmosphere. When I revisited the location at night later in the tour, with the place lit up like Donald Trump's Christmas tree during a power surge, I genuinely drove straight into a wall like a crash test dummy because I was busy marvelling with child-like awe at all the pretty twinkly bits. Your first stop is the Battersea Power Station in London, and it's packed with baying tans, bathed in sunlight and full of incidental details. This jolly band of happy campers follows you to a series of beautifully realised international destinations.ĭiRT2 is a stunningly attractive racing game and every environment, from the baking Moroccan desert to a hazy downtown Tokyo, is rammed with visual texture. Most importantly they create a sense of personality in the racers you're competing against, and allow you to fabricate rivalries with the guys who consistently beat you. They're so charming and affable that even when you're on the track and deliberately T-boning them off the side of a cliff they'll use their final moments on this mortal coil to reassure you over the radio that there are no hard feelings. If you're easily irritated by Californian kids with more money than sense, you're going to find it all a bit wearing, but I'm actually fond of them - not least because they refer to me by name (just like in GRID), and their constant compliments satisfy my desperate need for validation as a good driver. Guiding you around the place are the disembodied voices of various endlessly chipper extreme sports stars. ![]() You can practically smell the sizzling hot dogs covered with that cheese that inexplicably remains liquid at room temperature. DiRT2 is the logical conclusion - the fantasy world tour that off-road racing should be, with a festival atmosphere, far more exotic locations and very little regard for safety.įrom the moment you launch the game, you're plunged into a grubby RV that's parked up in a bustling paddock area with fans hanging over the barriers with muffled indie music coming from the tannoy. There was still the token inclusion of Welsh forests with unpronounceable names, but thundering V8 trucks had rolled on to the scene and direct, door handle bashing competition was introduced. The original DiRT was already inching towards the door when it came to traditional rally. After years literally lost in the wilderness, rallying is sort-of fashionable again. Sadly Colin's gone to the great special stage in the sky, but there's a new breed of extreme sports nutcases carrying the torch, and it's their combined spirit that lives on in Colin McRae: DiRT2. If You're Of the opinion that great rally drivers are born rather than made, then it's not difficult to imagine that Colin McRae flew out of the womb sideways at 80mph, and flew out of the delivery room in a graceful arc.Īs a driver, he was a traditional flavour of bonkers behind the wheel -driving as fast as he possibly could, often crashing spectacularly and, if the hand of fate plonked him back on his wheels after his airborne barrel roll, carrying on again with his commitment undiminished. ![]() Be sure to arrive early to get your seat, the show starts at dusk, or around 9pm.

They want to redo the space, starting with the floor. While Jenna and Chris are happy to get an updated kitchen, their main bathroom needs some help as well. Custom terrazzo can be sleeker and safer Before: This dated bathroom needed new flooring. It has just a little bit of glitz and glam with the sheen,” Jenna says. Chris and Jenna are impressed right away. The clean white color brightens up the green cabinets, while the texture makes the space feel updated. “We took a traditional 4-by-4-square tile, and we just went with an elevated version of it,” Sabatella says of the textured tile.

The kitchen now has more room to move around while the inconspicuous island adds flexibility. After: This island can be kept in the empty spot by the door. “I want it significant enough where it feels like it’s actually a fixed piece of furniture, but if you need to move it around, you have that opportunity,” he explains. Sabatella also wants this island to blend in with the cabinets, so it looks like it belongs in this space, whether it’s on the side or in the middle of the space. Sabatella comes up with a great idea to replace the peninsula with an island on wheels it can be pushed to the side when not in use. “And it’s so bulky, you’re trapped once you get in there, you can’t even get out.” ![]() “This peninsula is a huge bummer for me,” she says.

Add synchronization between cores forthat memory access, and the problemquickly becomes untenable. Itstates that the memory bottleneck is afundamental problem that no one hassolved and that Patterson’s Power Wall,which describes the trade-offs betweenmemory-bus bandwidth, power, andparallelism, still applies, at least withrespect to current multicore-processingarchitectures ( Reference 2). In that e-mail,Fish referred to a paper he co-authored,on behalf of Venray ( Reference 1). Thesubject line was, “ARM X-Gene missedthe Sandia Labs multicore report”-an irresistible headline. In response to my blog about theApplied Micro X-Gene announcement,I received an e-mail from Russell Fish,co-inventor of the Sh-Boom processorand now with Venray Technology. Still,the tools and scalability are lacking.Ī more fundamental problem exists,though. Past a certain point, the benefits ofmulticore do not necessarily scale linearlyaccording to the number of cores.That we know, and many programmersand developers have spent many daysand nights working on the tools andalgorithms to make maximum use ofthe parallelism potential that multicorearchitectures theoretically provide. Those promises sound good, butthe hardware part bears more scrutiny,especially in the context of unstructureddata. Applied Micro is toutingit as the first “server on a chip” andpromises it will reduce the total cost ofownership of a server farm by as muchas 30% through energy savings alone. Operating at frequencies as high as 3GHz and touting as many as 128 quad-issue,out-of-order cores, the X-Geneconnects through a coherent terabitfabric and a memory throughput of 80Gbytes/sec. I’m justpicking on X-Gene because it’s one ofthe most recent. ![]() So why am I bringing this up now?Last month, at ARM TechCon, ARMannounced the ARM Version 8 ISA(instruction-set architecture) hourslater, Applied Micro unveiled X-Gene,the first processor employing the architecture.Oddly, parallels may existbetween those 14-bit Korean radiosand X-Gene-and all other multicoreprocessors, for that matter. The original four-transistor designgoes back to the pioneer Regency TR-1, which Texas Instruments andIndustrial Development Engineering Associates designed. This is a test do not adjust your age: Do you recall thetransistor-radio wars of the 1960s? Japan then dominatedthe maturing transistor-radio market, and, in an effort to differentiatethemselves, Korean manufacturers started addingfunctionless transistors to their radios just so that they couldsay they had eight, 10, 14, and, eventually, 16 transistorsinstead of the necessary four to eight.

What it looks like: Although the front of the Niro doesn’t look dramatically different from the outgoing model, beyond the lower, grille-height headlamps, toward the rear things look considerably different. What it competes with: Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV, Honda Insight, Hyundai Ioniq, Hyundai Kona Electric, Nissan Leaf, Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, Toyota Prius and Prius Prime And the Niro EV has an estimated driving range of 253 miles, up from the previous 239 miles. The plug-in hybrid (also known as a PHEV, for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) has a 7-mile-longer electric-only range, now up to an estimated 33 miles. For example, Kia estimates that the new Niro hybrid will achieve 53 mpg combined according to the EPA’s ratings-a 3 mpg improvement. It also has a new infotainment system, as well as a plethora of standard active safety and driver assistance features.Īlthough the Niro’s three powertrains are largely a carryover from the previous model, all have made gains in efficiency. Yet the automaker says the vehicle has actually lost weight in the process, thanks to the new, lighter platform the Niro is built on. The 2023 Niro is ever-so-slightly larger than the outgoing model, and with this size increase it gains passenger and cargo volume, according to Kia. So the best way to balance the track is by using mixing consoles. Due to this phenomenon, it’s hard to balance perfectly through your computer mouse.
