Wacom Cintiq 24HD touch review: the pen-enabled display tacks on multi-touch gestures

More Info

• Wacom outs the Cintiq 24HD touch, adds multi-touch controls and more to its largest pen display
• Wacom Cintiq 22HD hands-on
• Wacom Cintiq 24HD hands-on

A few weeks ago, Wacom started shipping a new version of its Cintiq 24HD pen display for creative pros that first broke from cover last September. The appropriately named Cintiq 24HD touch carries virtually the same outer styling as the OG model. An ergonomic base still cradles the massive 24-inch screen and can be configured to your particular seating preference. On the inside, though, there's a host of changes. As the name suggests, the major difference between the two is the addition of multi-touch controls to the more recent offering. However, the added functionality does come with a pretty hefty price tag, as the Cintiq 24HD touch costs $1,100 more than its elder sibling. Are the additions of touch gestures and an improved display panel enough to justify forking over the extra coin, or will the less expensive option work just fine in a studio setting? Read on to find out as we tackle that very question.

Marine Garrett Anderson Explains How Fallujah Made Him Fear ...

It was early, a good friend was calling and the phone was ringing.

I hate the phone; anyone who knows me, knows this. It is a strange irrationality of mine, but my level of discomfort turns to panic as each ring passes.

Sometimes I flip a switch inside and pick it up, other times step outside myself, watch it play through to the end ? then take a moment to recover.

I hate the phone because I was a platoon radio operator during the battle of Fallujah, when I was nineteen, and every time somebody called me out there it was a serious fucking emergency.

I had to monitor the net (field communication network) for unit reports on friendly movement so that my platoon did not walk into another?s gun fire.

One time I had told a tank that it would be clear to fire on a building, shortly after I watched a dozen Marines from another platoon take cover behind the same building, out of sight of the tank. The tank?s turret shifted and pointed toward the building.

When there are too many people talking on a radio channel, the net gets tied up and I have to wait for a person to stop talking before I can talk to them. I frantically held down the button to my handset repeating over and over, more panicked and more panicked, ?Cease fire, cease fire, cease fire!? When I let go of the button I could hear the tank power down with a sound like a vacuum cleaner and my handset answered back, ?Roger, cease fire.??

Other times I would need the radio to call for a medical evacuation of friends who had been shot or killed or hit by explosives.

Most days my ear was stuck to my handset for eighteen hours and nothing special but during the times that nothing happened a person could not help but to wonder what the next horrible phone call might be.

When I turn my knob to our battalion channel sometimes the breaking news of the day is a friend from another company has just been killed; or I am sleepy on hour seventeen but keep nodding to the sound of empty radio static that makes a noise like television snow while filled with a cold panic that if I go to sleep, my friends would die because of me.

Sometimes my friend Nate Douglass would call my apartment late at night and I would not pick up. I would want to cry for fear, but did not feel well enough to help someone who needed real help. I would take a moment to recover and carry on with the endless web surfing. He just wanted to talk, so did I, but war is a bitch and we both know it.?

One time I picked up the phone for a number I did not recognize and it was Luis Munoz, our old point man.

He had moved back to Mexico after the service and was calling to tell me about the violence he was witnessing, he said it was worse than Fallujah and he had a child to raise. He had been shot through the leg in Fallujah so bad that he was told he would never walk again.

When we reunited Luis was in physical therapy walking with a cane in his early twenties, by the time he was discharged from the Marines as a wounded warrior he was jogging.

Rich Casares had been hit by an enemy hand grenade in Fallujah, which had damaged one of his eyes. The doctors put an air bubble behind it; I had to write him because he was in a Texas Prison, when he wrote me he would ask for a picture of Fallujah that looked really good so he could have it tattooed across his back.

Paul Johnson has a kid and soon will Donald Blais, they live in Connecticut today and during the battle rushed into a burning house to ferry the bodies of their wounded friends, without being ordered to.

One early morning in my dark apartment I picked up the phone for Nate Douglass who had also been hit by an enemy hand grenade.

We had been best friends in Fallujah.

We talked about our struggles coming home and then we talked about the day he'd been hit by the hand grenade. He would reference the morning and I would retort with my perspective of the same thing.

When we got to the operation he would talk about what he saw inside a house while I would tell him what I saw outside of that house. I realized that the story flowed naturally and that if I had the other members of our platoon who were there that day I was sure that they could reconstruct the story with even more depth.

I told Douglass that night that I had an idea for a documentary that would tell a story of real life heroism and struggle that might answer questions for outsiders and those just returning from their story.

Tips For Making Bankruptcy A More Positive Experience | Siben ...

TIP! If you plan on filing for bankruptcy, never transfer your assets to another person within one year of filing. Why shouldn?t you transfer assets? It?s because this looks as if you?re attempting to hide your money so that you can wiggle out of debt.

You shouldn?t decide to file for bankruptcy on a whim; the choice can be life changing. Go over the advice in the following paragraphs to get an idea of what you?re in for, and to learn what you should know before you decide whether or not to file. Try to learn everything you can before making any decisions.

TIP! A good personal bankruptcy tip is to always be prepared in case your filing for bankruptcy will be denied. If you?re prepared beforehand, you can easily anticipate what may happen if you are denied, like having a car get repossessed or a home being foreclosed.

Take advantage of free consultations with lawyers and the ability to sift through and find the right one. Always ensure that the person you meet with is a real lawyer, not a legal assistant or paralegal. These people can?t give legal advice. Considering several different lawyers can help find someone to trust.

TIP! Before you file for bankruptcy, find out which of your assets will be exempt from seizure. Bankruptcy exemptions are properties may not be seized during bankruptcy.

When you consult a bankruptcy lawyer, bring a written list of questions with you to the consultation. It can be expensive to see a lawyer. To save yourself trouble and money, make a list of your questions and concerns before consulting your lawyer. If you do not understand any part of the process, ask your attorney to explain in more detail.

TIP! Be certain you understand all you can about bankruptcy by researching reputable sites that offer good information. The United States Check out the Bankruptcy Institute site and do some research about consumer?s rights.

Gain a clear understanding of the circumstances that put you in a position to file for personal bankruptcy. Getting waylaid by an unexpected loss of income or a huge expense like emergency medical treatment is unavoidable, but impulsive spending is a problem that has to be addressed. If your a bankruptcy was caused by the latter, it would be a good idea for you to seek assistance in areas of financial management and perhaps addiction control.

TIP! One way to avoid bankruptcy is to stay married. The economic stress of a divorce can be the final blow leading to bankruptcy and this situation may be avoided.

Daredevil skydiver to attempt 23-mile supersonic jump Sunday

Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner is once again ready to attempt the world's highest skydive today (Oct. 14), and plans to break the sound barrier while he's at it.

After two delays due to high winds, Baumgartner is expected to don a spacesuit-like custom pressure suit and ride a capsule 23 miles (37 kilometers) into the sky, only to jump into the void in pursuit of the skydiving record.

The high-altitude balloon carrying Baumgartner's capsule will liftoff from Roswell, N.M., a place more commonly associated with a rumored UFO crash. The record-chasing mission, called Red Bull Stratos, is sponsored by the energy drink of the same name.

If all goes according to plan, the 43-year-old Baumgartner will go supersonic during his 5.5 minutes of freefall back to Earth and reach speeds of up to 690 mph (1,110 kph). He would be the first person to break the sound barrier without an aircraft, and do it on the 65th anniversary of the?first supersonic flight by Chuck Yeager in the X-1 rocket plane in 1947.

"I want to break the speed of sound, no matter what it takes," Baumgartner said in a statement. "As long as we have a spare balloon and more launch days, I'm good." [Photos: Skydiver Attempts Record 23-Mile Supersonic Jump]

You can watch the skydive live?here on SPACE.com.

Red Bull Stratos meteorologist Don Day said in a statement that Baumgartner's balloon is expected to be ready to launch by sunrise (6:45 a.m. MT, 8:45 a.m. EDT/1245 GMT), if weather conditions allow. The launch window extends through 11:45 a.m. MT (1:45 p.m. EDT, 1745 GMT)

Baumgartner is chasing a skydiving record that has stood for 52 years. In 1960, U.S. Air Force Capt. Joe Kittinger rode a balloon-toted capsule to an altitude of 102,800 feet (31,333 meters), setting the bar for all skydivers to come. Kittinger serves as an advisor on Baumgartner's mission, which is also aimed at studying "how the human body copes with the extreme conditions at the edge of space," according to a description.

For Red Bull Stratos, which organizers have touted as a jump from the "edge of space," Baumgartner aims to leap from a height of 120,000 feet (36,576 m). While the jump will set the record as the world's highest skydive, it would still be short of the widely recognized boundary of space, which is an altitude of 62 miles (100 km).

Still, Baumgartner's Red Bull Stratos skydive would rack up a series of records. In addition to the highest skydive and the first supersonic freefall, the skydive would mark the longest-duration freefall and the world's highest balloon flight. He will fall through two of the four major layers of Earth's atmosphere during the dive.

The risks are high.

Baumgartner must be careful jumping from his capsule to avoid damaging his pressure suit or helmet. The air at his target altitude is too thin to breathe. The pressure difference could also cause bubbles to form in his bloodstream, commonly referred to as "boiling blood."

A loss of control during his descent could cause Baumgartner to lose consciousness. He has staged two successful practice jumps ? from heights of 71,581 feet (21,818 m) and 97,146 feet (29,610 m) ?respectively, earlier this year to rehearse for Sunday's attempt.

But conditions have to be right for Baumgartner to even try to attempt is record-breaking skydive.

The 55-story balloon that will be used to lift his capsule is extremely thin, about the thickness of a plastic sandwich bag. Strong winds could tear the balloon, Red Bull Stratos officials have said.

To avoid balloon damage, Baumgartner will only liftoff if winds at or near the liftoff site do not exceed 2 mph (3.2 kph).

High winds were the reason Baumgartner and his Red Bull Stratos team skipped a chance to try the skydive last Monday (Oct. 8), and then aborted an actual attempt on Tuesday.

Red Bull Stratos officials are optimistic for better weather on Sunday.

"I'm here with my family and friends who are all super supportive. I go to the gym and try to keep myself fit," Baumgartner said. "I've done all of my homework. Had all of my briefings with the team I trust. All we are waiting for now is the weather."
