The complex computer shuts down the base to prevent infection. The parent corporation sends in an elite military unit, where they meet Alice, who is suffering from amnesia due to exposure to nerve gas. The military team must shut down the computer and get out, fighting their way past zombies, mutants, and the computer itself, before the virus escapes and infects the rest of the world. Alice must also come to terms with her slowly-returning memories.Resident evil: apocalypse: General Cain orders The Hive reopened, and in doing so contaminates all of Raccoon City, a city of the dead, with Alice stuck right in the middle. Now, along with other surviors, Jill, Carlos and Captain Nicholai, they must fight to survive and escape the nightmare that has plaqed Raccoon City. Matt Addison has been a new threat as he has fully mutated into a seemingly unstoppable creature, code named Nemesis. Nemesis will stop at nothing until everything around him is dead.MPAA rating: R; for strong sci-fi/horror violence, language and brief sexuality/nudity (Resident evil) ; MPAA rating: R; for non-stop violence, language and some nudity (Resident evil: apocalypse).Resident evil: apocalypse: DVD, region 1, anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, remastered in High Definition.Resident evil: DVD, region 1, anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, remastered in High Definition.

The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to Electronics 101 teaches readers the fundamentals of electronics in an engaging, hands-on way. Appropriate for students and aspiring hobbyists alike, this book is loaded with more than a dozen projects that start simple and progressively get more involved as the reader moves through the book. Topics include: fundamentals of electronics: electrons, voltage, current, power, conductors, insulators, semiconductors, etc.; designing, building, and modifying circuit boards; sensors and controllers; and transmitters and receivers. Community college enrollment-where basic courses in electronics are most often taught-is at an all time high, up 8% from 2008 enrollment to 3.4 million new students per year. Specifically designed to appeal to both students and hobbyists with lost of fun, hands-on projects to aid in the learning process.

Cameraman, Allan Palmer ; editor, Joe Frost ; composer, Paul Foss.Reporter: Robert MacNeil.Examines sociolinguistic questions and the dynamic state of American English, a language rich in regional variety, strong in global impact, and steeped in cultural controversy. Episode one discusses linguistic dialect zones, the tension between prescriptivism and descriptivism, the impact of dialect on grapholect, the northern cities vowel shift, the roots of African-American English, minority linguistic profiling, biases against nonstandard speech, and the general perception of the U.S. Midland dialect as "normal American." Looks at hip-hop street talk, IM slang, Pittsburghese, and Gullah and Geechee. Episode two reviews Southern dialects and accents and the influences of French and Spanish on American English. Examines regional differences in vernacular, the steady displacement of Southern coastal dialect by inland dialect, the accents of JFK and LBJ, and the Texas border town of El Cenizo, where Spanish is the official language. Episode three looks at Spanglish, Chicano, Ebonics, and "Surfer Dude."
