Use a heating element, PID controller and air pump to make a sous vide machine for $50. No soldering required.
See the original article on our blog.
A sous vide device shouldn't be just a popular trend in restaurants and foodie kitchens. It can be a practical and essential addition to any home. In fact, it's not so unlike a convection oven; the only difference is that it uses water to conduct heat and it is more precisely controlled.
Oh, right, and that a sous vide could run you a few thousand dollars… and who can fit one in their apartment? Our design can be tucked away in a grocery bag after use.
Although sous vide is incredibly useful, many cooks are still unfamiliar with it because it is cost-prohibitive. But, why should such a simple machine be so expensive? The parts can be easily acquired and connected by anyone with an hour or so to spare.
We've put one together and are thrilled with the consistent, perfectly-cooked, and outer-worldly results (that are impossible to achieve by any other method)! Once you've "sous vided" a meal, we're pretty sure you'll be so inspired by the deliciousness of it all that you'll incorporate vidin' in your everyday cooking routine.
While the thermocouple (at the tip of the screw) is stainless steel, the screw attached to it is not and will rust in the sous vide bath. Therefore, we'll use electrical tape to wrap the screw and all parts of the wire that might come into contact with water.
Attach the thermocouple spade terminals to connectors 9 and 10 on the PID controller.
Attach the wires from the heating element to terminals 2 and 14 of the PID controller.
Take the 6-inch piece of wire and attach spade terminals to each end. Connect one end to terminal 1 and the other end to terminal 13 of the PID controller.
Finally, tape a popsicle stick or chopstick to the back of the heating element. Since the plastic nub attached to the back is short, this augmentation this will allow the heating coil to reach further into the water.

Polly Paulusma
|Polly Paulusma
|Background information
|Birth name
|Polly Paulusma
|Indie pop
|Singer-songwriter, musician
|Vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards
|Years active
|One Little Indian Records
Polly Paulusma /ˈpɔːlzmə/ is an English singer-songwriter.[1][2] Her first album, Scissors in my Pocket, was largely recorded and produced by herself at her home.[3] A second album, Cosmic Rosy Spine Kites (a virtual anagram of the title of the first album) features the same tracks, four of which were recorded with a string quartet (and without guitars or percussion); the rest at a gig in Manchester, England, where she supported Jamie Cullum. Apart from Jamie Cullum she has also supported other artists on tour including Marianne Faithfull and Coldplay and played at the Glastonbury Festival in 2005.
As well as using computer-based methods to self-produce her first album, Polly and her management have arguably made good use of the internet and contemporary methods of distribution to reach a larger potential audience: signed to One Little Indian Records, two of Polly's tracks ("Over the Hill" and the live version of "She Moves in Secret Ways") were issued as free downloads through Apple's iTunes Store. This has possibly led to greater exposure for a niche artist on a UK-based independent record label than might otherwise have been expected or previously possible. Polly has also used her profile at MySpace.com, her own website, blogs on both websites and a link to a forum on the latter to connect with her fans and keep them up-to-date on her touring and recording plans.
Polly announced on her web site that her daughter Valentine Constance Mae was born on 10 November 2006 (coincidentally Polly's own birthday). Paulusma's third album "Fingers and Thumbs" was released in the June 2007. The cover shoot was done when Polly was 38 weeks pregnant.
Polly and her husband, Mike, live in the thinnest home in London. Located in Battersea, the 7-foot-7-inch-wide (2.31 m) home is where Paulusma recorded her first album "Scissors in my Pocket," as well as the demos for "fingers & thumbs." [4]

A new collaboration launches to develop guidelines for measuring and managing corporate GHG emissions throughout the product life cycle and across the entire value chain.
The availability of relevant, accurate and objective data is essential for sound and transparent decision making and policy development.
Ironically, the most ambitious U.S. action in the fight against global warming is coming from big cities and their mayors.
p>Climate change, national security, and energy are inter-connected through our persistent and growing dependence on fossil fuels. We must address all three.
On Thursday, for the first time ever, the United States will see a price on carbon emerge from a mandatory emissions cap-and-trade program.

Zoo Animals
Pan troglodytes
At the Detroit Zoo
The Great Apes of Harambee – located in the African Forest – is home to 11 chimpanzees, including the newest addition, Zuhura (Swahili for "morning star"), born to first-time mother Chiana in August 2013. She joins youngsters Akira, an adorable female born in July 2011, and her high-energy brother Ajua, born in September 2008. Imara is the dominant male and father to all three young chimpanzees. Trixi is the dominant female in the habitat. She is mother to twins Tanya and Nyani. Tanya likes playing with the other young chimps while carrying Akira on her back. Nyani enjoys doing her own thing and prefers to be alone. Abby can often be seen sticking her tongue out. She is the mother of Chiana, who often instigates rough play. Bubbles is the most excitable of the females and vocalizes enthusiastically when pumpkins and piñatas are involved in enrichment. Bahati is a quiet adult male that loves to play chase with the other chimps. Visitors often ask why they can't see the chimpanzees at all times, and this is because of the large size of their habitat. The Great Apes of Harambee is a 4-acre habitat that also houses western lowland gorillas and drills. The primates spend their days foraging, grooming and playing, just as they would in their native African environment.
The chimpanzee has long black or brown hair covering its body, but has no hair on its face, ears, hands or feet. It has pink skin at birth but, as it grows, the skin turns black. The chimpanzee has fingernails, toenails and opposable thumbs, just like humans. Its small face has a defined brow, small nostrils and a small muzzle.
Fun Facts
The chimpanzee shares more than 98 percent of the same genetic material with humans, making it our closest living relative.
The chimpanzee is one of the few animal species that makes and uses tools. Examples include using sticks to catch insects and stones to crack open nuts.
Chimpanzees live in large groups called communities.

Stay Young With Yoga
Aug. 14, 2000 -- At 77, Jean Cotner is not the oldest person in her yoga class, but she's the most accomplished. Of course, you'd expect that of the teacher. A devout practitioner for over 30 years, her body is the best advertisement for her classes: She appears strong, flexible, and much younger than her years.
"Of all the aids to self-improvement," says Cotner, "mental as well as physical, yoga is surely the most reliable, the safest, and the best." Yoga, she says, works to improve the circulatory, glandular, nervous, and muscle systems. Known as the First Lady of Yoga in Orange County, Calif., where she has taught since 1969, Cotner practices daily and teaches five days a week. Most of her students are much younger than she is, but they are much less flexible as well.

12 Ways to Destress Amidst Holiday Madness
By Melody WarnickEmploy these easy reenergizing techniques when you need them most this season The most wonderful time of the year, huh? So why do the holidays sometimes feel like a month-long panic attack? "During the holidays, people have such high expectations for things to be perfect," says Jon Abramowitz, PhD, professor of psychology and director of the Anxiety and Stress Disorders Clinic at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In other words, we take on too much, then feel anxious...
Read the 12 Ways to Destress Amidst Holiday Madness article > >
"I wake up doing yoga," she says. "I stretch even before I get out of bed, always accompanied by deep breathing. Breath is life."
Countering the Effects of Aging
I first learned about Cotner's classes through my mother, Rhoda Rafkin, who at 79 is one of the few students actually older than her teacher. My family has always been athletic -- I practice martial arts as well as mountain climbing -- and my mother broke her right hip and several leg bones in a hiking accident 20 years ago. She had tried weight training to compensate for her injuries, but nevertheless, simple, everyday movements like bending in her garden had become more difficult.
Six months ago, my mother began taking Cotner's classes to deal with the stiffness, aches, and growing arthritic pain she was experiencing. "Already, I see a great improvement in my flexibility," she says. "After many years of not being able to sit on the floor and cross my legs, I'm now able to do so."
While my mother was conducting her own real-life experiment, a recent bevy of studies lend support to the beneficial aspects of yoga:
- Two small studies published in the February 2000 issue of the journal Rheumatic Diseases Clinics of North America found that yoga helps with pain associated with osteoarthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
- A study published in the April 2000 issue of Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology showed that yoga may be as effective as drug therapy in controlling hypertension. (However, until this is more firmly established by additional research, yoga is better regarded as an adjunct to drug treatment rather than a replacement. Needless to say, any changes to your drug regimen should be made in consultation with your doctor.)
- A second study in the same journal documented that a four-month yoga regimen significantly increased feelings of good health, as rated by a standardized "Subjective Well-Being Inventory."
- A Stanford University review of the research on complementary treatments found that mind-body techniques including yoga were efficacious primarily as complementary treatments for musculoskeletal disease and related disorders.
- Other studies, including one at the Roosevelt University Stress Institute in Chicago, have found that yoga stretches reduce physical stress while increasing physical relaxation.

The holiday season'?
Published: Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 11:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 11:33 a.m.
"Holiday" seems like it is a shallow statement of a defined period. Seems there is nothing there, hollow or holy.
Sure sounds much better to properly identify the period Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving. Wow, now those are not hollow. They have meaning, they have substance.
Agree? Sure you do. If so, why is it so difficult to say "Merry Christmas" to a member on the floor of the House or at a school? Good question.
Tell you what. Let's have a movement, a revival if you will let's all join together and wish one and all a very merry Christmas and not a happy holiday. We would be far better off.
Now the circuit court in California would have something to say, so would the ACLU, but who cares, right? Then why aren't we doing it? Just a thought.

All charges dropped against remaining Freddy Gray defendants
Prosecutors have dropped all remaining charges against the three remaining Baltimore police officers (William Porter, Garrett Miller, Alicia White) accused of crimes in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray. Three other original defendants (Edward Nero, Caesar Goodson, and Brian Rice) have been found not guilty. The Baltimore Sun describes the prosecution's move as "startling," and maybe it is. However, it was the only rational decision available to them. In »
Bill Clinton leaves us wondering how he could have been such a louse to Hillary
I caught Bill Clinton's speech on the radio driving back from a minor league baseball game in Woodbridge, Virginia. Woodbridge is far enough outside the beltway that nary a person sitting near me tonight mentioned politics. But despite its distance from my house, about 40 miles, Bill's oration lasted for nearly the entirety of my drive home. Clinton devoted almost his entire speech to trying to paint an attractive picture »
Guess who filled in for Wasserman Schultz yesterday
If you said Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, you understand the modern Democratic party very well. Rawlings-Blake formally opened the proceedings in place of the deposed Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Readers will recall that, as rioting commenced in Baltimore, Rawlings-Blake stated: It's a very delicate balancing act because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave »
In Normandy, ISIS "soldiers" slit priest's throat, take nuns hostage
The Democrats declined to mention ISIS (or even terrorism) one time during the 61 speeches delivered on opening day of their convention, but the "jayvee" remains active nonetheless. Armed men (believed to be two in number) shouting "Allah Akbar" stormed a church in France during morning mass today. ISIS promptly declared that its "soldiers" carried out the attack.

He (she) who gets booed
I doubt that anyone, Republican or Democrat, watched the entire session of the Democratic convention yesterday, except for those who are paid to. Dana Milbank of the Washington Post is paid to report, from a leftist perspective, on the human comedy. Thus, he apparently watched the whole thing. Here, from Milbank's column, is a list of folks who were booed yesterday when they mentioned Hillary Clinton's name. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen »
Bernie shouts the case for Clinton in dark speech
Bernie Sanders made the socialist case for Hillary Clinton tonight. It's a strong case that should persuade his rational supporters. Fortunately, for Donald Trump, it may well be that many Sanders supporters are irrational. Sanders' address was preceded by a speech by Elizabeth Warren and an introduction by Keith Ellison. Before that, Michelle Obama spoke. I didn't hear her speech, but assume she was good. She always is. Warren's speech »
Chappaquiddick movie heads towards production
Last December, John wrote about the plan to make a movie about the Chappaquiddick scandal. It was at Chappaquiddick where Ted Kennedy, who was drunk, drove a young campaign worker off a bridge to her death, failed to take reasonable steps that might have saved her, and tried to cover up his culpability. The notion of Hollywood going through with such a project struck me as implausible. It's easy enough »
The meaning of Kaine
Yesterday, I noted how much the far left Sanders faction of the Democratic party hates the selection of Tim Kaine as Hillary Clinton's running mate. Considering that this faction probably makes up at least 45 percent of the party, this is a concern. The outrage is justified. It isn't just that Clinton has poked the Sanders folks in the eye, as a prominent Sanders delegate put it, adding insult to »
Trump gets a bounce
The Republican convention may have been "dark" and "disunited," to use the MSM's favorite descriptions, but its nominee appears to have gotten a "bounce" from the event. Heading into the convention, Clinton had led in four of the five latest polls in the RCP list. In polls taken since the convention began, Clinton has led only once. In the four most recently completed surveys, Trump leads by 1, 2, 3, »
Donald Trump: "Extreme vetting" for French and Germans
Donald Trump says that people from France and Germany could face "extreme vetting" before entering the United States because their countries have been "compromised by terrorism." Trump also argued that France and Germany are to blame for the terrorism that is "compromising" them. "It's their own fault," he said. "They allowed people to come into their territory." Trump isn't wrong to blame immigration policy for the terrorism rocking France and »
Syrian refugee murders woman in Germany [Update: Suicide Bomber In Bavaria]
Today, a 21-year-old refugee from Syria killed a woman with a machete in southwestern Germany. Police apprehended the murderer after a motorist deliberately ran him over. The man previously had been charged with causing bodily harm in an incident the police declined to describe. The fatal attack on the woman does not appear to have been an act of terrorism. Police believe the act stemmed from "relationship difficulties" between the »
Disunited Dems set to dump Debbie
I want to add a few thoughts to John's post about the disunity the Democrats already are experiencing before their convention formally begins. Most reports center around Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the leaked emails that confirm how the DNC operated to undermine Bernie Sanders' campaign. I agree with John that Wasserman Schultz likely will be sent packing soon. Like many before her, she damaged her reputation serving the Clintons and, »

The NBA enters the bathroom wars [UPDATED][With Comment by John]
The 2017 NBA all-star game, which was scheduled to be played in Charlotte, will be played elsewhere. The league is moving the game to protest a North Carolina law.

At the Washington Post, it's unanimous: Trump's speech was dark
On Friday morning, the Washington Post (paper edition) sang in unison about Donald Trump's speech to the GOP convention. The lead headline read: "Trump portrays a nation in peril." Below that Philip Rucker and David Farenthold began their story: "Donald Trump painted a dire portrait of a lawless terrorized nation as he accepted the Republican presidential nomination. . . ." The front page also contained this headline by gussied up »
It's Kaine
As expected, Hillary Clinton has named Sen. Tim Kaine to be her running mate. I discussed what I think this means earlier today. The mainstream media likes to portray Kaine as a "centrist" and a "bridge builder." The reality is quite different. In the Senate, Kaine almost always votes the liberal line. The American Conservative Union consistently gives him a zero rating. Same with the Eagle Forum. With Americans for »
Up next, Clinton's VP selection
The political calendar gives us only three days between party conventions. Most of the buzz during this respite will concern Hillary Clinton's choice of a running mate. The word is that she will select Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia. The second choice is said to be Tom Vilsack, the Secretary of Agriculture. If this is true, what should we make of two white males from the Democratic party's former mainstream »

I would do my research before activating this plugin and I am sorry I did not. I have no idea why it has a 4 star rating.

The most fucking hardest emotion to deal with as a guy. Seriously, the desperation over women makes you want to kill yourself. All it takes is physical beauty, a sweet voice and seductive body language and facial expressions and a normal guy will be overpowered by such greed to want to fuck the beautiful goddess that he just met like 5 minutes ago. But once she decides to leave (in a teasing manner of course), it's like the feeling of having your money taking away, or someone who you really love and trust simply abandon you. Imagine a loved one or a friend promising to meet and spend time with you, only to abandon you and you'll realize the magnitude of the hell that single guys go through. Or try to imagine having to function without food or sleep.
Desperation can lead to anxiety depression and suicide. It's the Achilles heal of a man.

Dissapointing but still fun.
Call of Duty is back and it's 1944, at the height of the allies ever increasing dominance over Germany in World War II. This time around you will be taking on the roles of 4 characters each from their own country (, , & ) all of whom will be killing and fighting for their lives on the battlefield throughout your play. As a whole the story mode in Call of Duty 3 is somewhat disappointing. After the grand, epic and cinematic scope of last year's game made by Infinity Ward, Treyarch's vision seems a little handicapped by its very limited timeframe and such events occurring. It also doesn't help that the story's lifeline is nothing more than 8 hours long.
However, not all is stormy and dull in CoD3. Take for instance, that even though the source material isn't the best to work with, the developers have actually managed to create a great feeling of intensity and engagement with the war itself for the majority of the game's 14 missions. This is helped in some part due to the game's larger focus on making the story more personal, no wait, scratch that: more character based (at least in cut-scenes) than its predecessor. You see, as always you don't do much s the 4 soldiers but fall over, blank out and look around whilst those around you will joke, argue, fight and die dramatically and to be honest, it works for the most part. At certain times throughout gameplay on the other hand, such cut-scenes will just get in your way and interrupt any good experience that you may be having, in-game. So the bad-side to all this is that you as a character are terribly detatched and have no real involvement with what is going on around you, apart from a few Germans being shot.
Game modes this time around are just as sweet as last years effort with a little more icing but some missing sponge. As I have just went over, the story mode from this year's game is a little lacking in comparison to its predecessor, but to its advantage, Treyarch have brought along a couple of extra multiplayer treats for all to share. On the agenda are the usual Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Headquarters and Capture the Flag modes but thrown in as a bonus is the new 'War' and Single Capture the Flag modes. Now to be quite truthful, these additions aren't really that new on the grand scope of FPS games, but to CoD, they are a great new and unanticipated arrival. War mode is essentially a territory game, where your team battles against another to capture certain predefined areas of the map in a certain order. What's really great about this mode is the level of team co-operation is involved to get things right. Out of all the modes on display here in CoD3, this will certainly be the one of the best for your clan or friends to get together and battle it out professionally. As for Single Capture the Flag mode, instead of there being 2 flags (one for each team), there is only one, and that flag has to be taken from the flag area and returned to your opponent's base. It's a great idea and works pretty well too, adding a little bit more of originality to the franchise in instalment 3. One thing that avid players of last years game will probably miss is the equally fun Search and Destroy mode which sadly has been taken from the options available this time around. Not to worry though because as you can see, there's still plenty for you to get stuck into, especially with 9 extremely varied maps at your disposal.
In terms of single player adventures however, the game does have its brilliant moments where story and immersive gameplay come together to create some of most intense and realistic missions found in a CoD game. Unfortunately things do a bit dull from time to time, and there will be the odd mission that you probably won't play out of fun once you're done with single player. Furthermore, I found the tank orientated missions to be a whole lot more approachable and enjoyable in this year's game, with controls loosened up and missions offering a little more diversity through the great landscape (a welcome change from deserts).
Story (3) & Game Modes (5) Rating: 8/10
One of the main gripes I have had with Call of Duty 3 is it's consistent neglect for the user's enjoyment through basic control functions. In other words: the controls are more or less very annoying. Now let's not confuse button layout with in-game control because the button layout is essentially CoD2 all over again, which is perfect. What really lets the game down is the gameplay controls, of which do have their great positive sides but for the most part, will not help you at all, or in one case, help you too much.
First of all, this game has its fair share of bugs such as getting stuck in surroundings, team-mates getting stuck and scripted events not happening for any reason whatsoever. Now if that doesn't sound aggravating enough then there's also the fact that you can't climb onto anything in the game unless you jump onto it. So if you have a tank to your left and you have to get a house infront of you but there's a 3 foot wall in the way with a gap to the left, then you have to kamikaze style it, just to get past the wall a smurf could climb over. Now obviously someone at Treyarch's design department wanted this feature in to cut down more bugs occurring and forcing scripts in the game, but ultimately, it's not the best of decisions made by the team as it is an almost essential and trivial part of CoD's gameplay.
Before I go onto more of the positive sides of the game's control I will briefly mention the very limiting lack of control you have over your own games in multiplayer games: There's hardly any form of lobby; kicking players is virtually non-existent; deciding on weapons or vehicles would have been nice but is not here either; viewing who is on each team before selecting yours would also have been handy but again, there's no sign of it; and let's not forget that there's no spectator mode to familiarise yourself with the massive maps. What's also rather suspect is the addition of sticky aim in multiplayer. Sure, maps are generally twice to 4 times as large as any CoD2 maps and enemies can be quite far away but surely there's no need to include this insult to players who can actually aim a gun themselves (isn't that what makes you good at a FPS game?). Now I'm not a hater of the sticky aim, in-fact I love it in single player (especially veteran mode) and it works great there, but I'm sure you can see that offering a player the option to track an enemy without even looking at the screen in competitive play is rather pointless.
Okay, onto the good points to CoD's control system (other than the structure). So far I've managed to count 3 impressive additions to the game which are: the sprint feature (tucking away your weapons to run faster for a certain amount of time), even though it is nowhere to be seen in single-player; the ability to throw back enemy grenades; the ability to 'cook' grenades, that is, to hold the grenade for longer before throwing in time to create an explosion in a foe's face. They are all great little additions to an already decent game in terms of control, but sadly there's too much rubbish been added, too much core elements been taken away which overshadow the positives by a long shot.
Thankfully, Call of Duty 3 doesn't do much to hurt the core gameplay of the series and does quite a few things to improve it. First to mention is the array of weaponry available. As far as I can tell there isn't as much guns available in this version of the game but I could be wrong. Most of the weaponry is the same as CoD2's selection but there are the select substitutions here and there. For the majority of the single player mode you will probably be using Axis weapons, found on the battlefield, but when you start out it will either be an American or British rifle/automatic combination. I found the lack of Polish and Canadian specific guns slightly disappointing but to be honest, the weapons of the US/British are more than enough to satisfy any WWII weapons enthusiast. Add to this the much wider selection of heavy artillery such as mortars, and you can probably see that the selection at hand is pretty fun to play around with and does offer something new to the series' veterans.
Gunplay itself is seamless and very similar to CoD2, with only very slight differences which I wont pick at, because most casual CoD players won't care that much. As you can probably guess, picking up a rifle, aiming down the sight and pressing the trigger is just as fun as ever. As well as all those forms of taking down the Nazi-War-Machine, you have the revisited 'spotting' gameplay mechanic which works by you looking through your binoculars and selecting where to land an air strike or where your tank should fire. The difference in this game however is that it is undeniably easy to do and will almost never get you killed, which is quite a contrast to some of the same situations in the previous game. As a whole, it's still a relatively fun concept but seeing that even on veteran difficulty, it's still easy as pie, there's something wrong there.
One of the newest and most original features to be brought to the series by Treyarch this time around is the additional (often mundane) tasks that you must do by pressing buttons or revolving the thumb stick, which in turn plant explosives, operate cranes and operate valves. One specific element of this added mechanic is the probably now famous 'close quarters combat' moments where a German attacks you by surprise and you must tap buttons to escape him and kill him in a kind of interactive movie like way (see Fahrenheit). I say famous because Treyarch never stopped mentioning it in interviews as if it was better than shooting people in the game. Sadly it really isn't that great and once you've went through them all once, having to do it again will in turn prove that it's nothing of any real substance, just like all the other button matching tasks.
Further elements of the single player gameplay worth mentioning are the destructible environments, driving missions, and the game's scripting moments as a whole. First of all, the destruction of environments includes a whole new dimension of realism to the series which CoD2 so dearly lacked. It also opens up a whole new set of tactics that you can employ to get through the game, whilst also adding a greater deal of difficulty to the game, forcing you into considering specifically where you need to run to next to survive the gunfire. Driving missions as fun as they may be at first, suffer from the same disease as the event driven button mashing tasks in which they don't take long to get old and distracting. The scripting itself works really well when required and really does act as an enforcement of your senses to see, hear and experience war to a great extent of believability. However, when not required, the scripted acts as a complete handicap to the game through its willingness to stop what it's doing at times when you stop and look around. It all comes down to how successful the game manages to pull you in, because if it doesn't and you don't go along with the flow, you'll notice just how superficial this war really is, in reality.
Now onto multiplayer gameplay, and this is where I possibly get a little controversial. The first thing I want to mention is the removal of the ever-original and brilliant Kill-Cam from CoD2. I don't see what Treyarch could have had against this great feature, maybe it lowered frame rates or destroyed memory altogether when mixed with 24 player matches but to be honest, 4 on 4 matches with Kill-Cam were almost perfect. Now when you get killed on the battlefield your screen will fuzz and you'll be able to call for a medic or respawn after a certain amount of time, how original I say, oh no wait, didn't I see that in almost every other military FPS game that's been out in the past few years?
Herein lies my main complaint about the 'evolution' of Call of Duty. Instead of actually improving anything or doing anything remotely original, Treyarch went and made Battlefield 1944: America Vs. The Nazi's. Not only do they limit you to 2 teams but they try and make up for it by allowing you drive over-powered vehicles (you can drive and use a tank to destroy enemies at the same time) which do absolutely nothing to enhance gameplay experience other than to allow you to get from one end of the map to the other. This of course brings me onto yet another complaint: map sizes. Some of the maps in CoD3 are ridiculous and require a minimum of around 16 players to be any good, which doesn't happen that often. Sure, they can be a lot of mindless fun for a while but ultimately things are going to cool off and the personal ties that you could have with either team mates of enemies throughout one game of 4 on 4 in in CoD2 would take several matches to produce through a game of 10v10 Battlefield 1944.
Now before you hunt me down, be sure that I do appreciate and enjoy the multiplayer games to certain extend but firmly believe Treyarch went backwards rather than forwards with the CoD series this time around. Among the positive sides of the gameplay is the brilliant class system which allows you to choose from various assortments of soldiers from medics to scouts and riflemen to support troops. Each has their own special ability and their own assortment of weaponry, which I have to say, is pretty much balanced almost perfectly. There is also the ranking system through ranked games (there is some for on player games, but is reset after each match and doesn't carry much significance with it) which let you progress through all the class systems and gain higher privileges in those classes as a result. On face value alone, there's not much wrong with it and so far to my experience, works very well as a multiplayer mechanic. What is really great about the class system though is how it forces your team to work more closely together as a unit to win the match, far more effectively than was ever produced in last years game.
As a whole,
Control & Gameplay Rating: 7/10
Call of Duty 3 looks better than its predecessor but only on pure face-value judgement. Many reviewers have been claiming the game to be one of the sharpest looking games ever to be released on the 360 which is more or less true yes, but what they don't mention is all the crazy stuff that happens when the game moves. Sure you can look at screenshots and stop and stare at the gorgeous scenery all day, but fundamental aspects of the game are a little off, and sometimes make you curse all the processing power taken up by leaves in the wind and cockroaches on your boots. The bottom line is I had some really horrible frame rate troubles with Call of Duty 3, which ended up making me look at the entire game differently. You see when I first started the game I gave the usual, "wow, look at that church collapsing… and the grass is moving!", but as time went on, things got choppy and slow, and my interest in such petty graphical details waned. Now only this but I realised soldiers were dying like boneless chickens thanks to the addition of *drum roll*, rag-doll physics! Why do game designers insist on this mediocre form of character physics? Yes they are entertaining for a short while but after seeing it for the third time you begin to only see it for how stupid it looks, especially in Call of Duty.
Now don't get me wrong, Call of Duty 3 is an excellent looking game, there's no doubt about it. Textures are highly detailed throughout, character models look defined and realistic, facial expressions are really progressing with the technology at hand and particle effects are as strong as ever. Furthermore, the added feature of focal blur is a great addition and shows real progression in terms of graphical representation of character perspective in FPS games. Let us not forget the destructible environments placed throughout both single and multiplayer modes and how fun they are to… destruct.
It's this amount of realism and graphical refinement however that tends to point out any loose ends so to say and make you realise this is simply a simulation you're playing, and so the illusion quickly disappears along with the atmosphere of war. Among these spoilers are of course the frame rate problems, bad textured and unfinished look of most guns (as my brother said, the Lee Enfield looks like a carrot), overly confusing lighting effects coming from various sources in levels that don't make any sense and last but certainly not least, the many times where a Nazi will simply appear in front of you out of thin air and shoot you. Nice.
Graphics & Design Rating: 8/10
Music this time round in Call of Duty 3 is again, disappointing. Where CoD2 was inspiring, cinematic, epic and representative in scale of your surroundings, CoD3 is mediocre, inappropriate, and most of all contrived. There are the moments when music does kick in that is very reminiscent of the previous game and it works quite well but for the majority of the game, things just don't feel all that great and sometimes you'll feel like you're playing Splinter Cell if you close your eyes.
Sound effects are a little better, but still hit and miss. Guns can sound amazing (mostly the automatics) whilst others can sound like cap guns (rifles in particular). Among this, other background sound effects are a little unbalanced in terms of volume as I often found it very hard hearing reload sounds or if I had picked up ammo (I'm still not sure if it actually plays any sound). Furthermore, the sound effects themselves I found clipping a few times through the single player campaign, sometimes stopping for a few seconds while another effects played, or cutting off altogether because I entered a new area.
As a counter balance to all this negativity, there are of course good points to the game's sound department which include the great voice-over talent, and background sound effects (the gunfire and bombing sounds exclusive to actual gameplay). When you put together the sound of Call of Duty 3, the whole does equal more than its parts as it does for the most part feel like you are in the middle of one big bag of chaos and brutality.
Sound Rating: 8/10
Call of Duty 3 won't last very long if you don't have Xbox Live, bottom line. The single player campaign should take around 8 hours on normal difficulty with a further replay value of around 25 hours if you fancy going through one of the harder difficulties. However if you do have a connection to Xbox Live you can be almost guaranteed a good amount of hours with CoD3. Even though the online mode for this year's game is said to be 'improved' I still feel that it won't last as long as last years game did. The average player will probably get about 45 hours online without loosing interest too easily, so on the basis of around 80 hours gameplay time altogether, you have yourself pretty good value.
Lifeline Rating: 8/10
Although more or less progressive in level-to-level difficulty, there is the odd bump on the way there that shakes things up in terms of difficulty in campaign mode. Things will eventually get quite challenging towards the end of the game however, and the game does well to build up your skill level so as to make it pretty fair and balanced. Also well done this time around is the checkpoint and save system which will more often than not save and check points throughout levels that don't make things too straining nor too simple. The only real problems arise when things get too easy (usually involving the gameplay gimmicks such as planting explosives, driving a car or spotting enemies), ultimately unchallenging and misplaced. Multiplayer on the other hand is more or less well balanced in terms of classes and abilities, but such things as tanks and artillery strikes do offer favour significantly in some areas that aren't really that necessary for balanced play.
Difficulty Balance Score: 8/10
Let's face it, this is hardly an original title. I mean it's probably the 6 or 7 game in the CoD series, and any new features themselves have more or less been borrowed directly from other popular games of the past 6 months. There are some original qualities to CoD3 such as the impressive visuals and changes to core CoD gameplay but let's not forget that there's not even a Kill-Cam anymore.
Originality Score: 3/10
There's a whole lot of fun to be had from Call of Duty 3 but it is with restraints and limits. If you liked Battlefield:MC You'll probably rejoice in this revamp of CoD2 but just as that game suffered, it seems this title is bound to as well once newer, better looking titles come out with even faster and bigger gameplay mechanics. The single player campaign will entertain for hours on end on the first play through but can get very tiresome after a while and enjoyment will inevitably lower. Fortunetely for a lot of people out there, this is just the multiplayer experience they have been looking on the 360 and if that's not enjoyment value, I don't know what is.
Enjoyment Score: 8/10
Story & Game Modes: 8
Gameplay & Control: 7
Graphics: 8
Sound: 8
Lifeline: 8
Balance: 8
Originality: 3
Enjoyment: 8
Overall: 61
Don't believe the hype, Call of Duty 3 isn't just CoD2 repackaged, it is quite different and certainly boasts a whole new multiplayer experience for all those who didn't love CoD2's offering all that much. Treyarch do a good job of keeping the CoD spirit alive but don't do much else to improve on last year's game of the year. CoD3 is a very enjoyable and entertaining game that will last you quite a long time in its own respect, but certainly isn't the best to come out from the series.

L.A.'s Top 10 Streets for Bicycle Crashes Revealed
Nanette Gonzalez for LA Weekly
You're probably already aware that there's a hit-and-run epidemic in L.A., and that bicycling in a car-crazed capital like Los Angeles can be hazardous to your health.
See also: Critical Mass Bike Ride Recognizes L.A. Hit-&-Run Victims
But the nerds at the MIT Media Lab's Social Computing Group recently came up with a graphic look at all the cyclist-related crashes in Los Angeles by analyzing 2012 LAPD data.
The group graphed out each and every report of a bike crash with a dot on a map of the city of L.A. See a resulting list of the 10 worst streets for cyclist accidents, below:
An LAPD Central Traffic Division officer told us that a majority of those reports used by MIT researchers probably involved a motor vehicle. Ouch.
But, he said, "We also get a good amount of bicyclists hitting the curb and hurting themselves significantly, and it would be documented in our injury report category."
Speaking of the Central Traffic Division, the map seems to show a thick constellation of reported crashes right in the heart of downtown.
See also: L.A.'s Bloody Hit-and-Run Epidemic
From there, most of the accidents and collisions appear to happen on some of L.A.'s biggest, most-familiar east-west boulevards. Here's that top 10, via MIT's analysis of LAPD data:
1. Olympic Boulevard (72 crashes).
2. Venice Boulevard (63).
3. Sunset Boulevard (55).
4. Van Nuys Boulevard (54).
5. Pico Boulevard (52 crashes).
6. Washington Boulevard (49).
7. Vermont Avenue (49).
8. Sherman Way (46)
9. Wilshire Boulevard (43).
10. Western Avenue (42).

Researchers mapped out 2043 total bike wrecks in the city for that year as part of their series of municipal maps "tracing the narratives of our collective experience," according to the group's You Are Here website.
For L.A., researchers state, expectations are high:
This map helps to show where crashes tend to happen - like Olympic Avenue, Venice Avenue and Sunset [Boulevard] - in the hope that those streets might be made safer for riders.

The accurate registration of multiview images is of central importance in many advanced image processing applications. Image super-resolution, for example, is a typical application where the quality of the super-resolved image is degrading as registration errors increase. Popular registration methods are often based on features extracted from the acquired images. The accuracy of the registration is in this case directly related to the number of extracted features and to the precision at which the features are located: images are best registered when many features are found with a good precision. However, in low-resolution images, only a few features can be extracted and often with a poor precision. By taking a sampling perspective, we propose in this paper new methods for extracting features in low-resolution images in order to develop efficient registration techniques. We consider, in particular, the sampling theory of signals with finite rate of innovation and show that some features of interest for registration can be retrieved perfectly in this framework, thus allowing an exact registration. We also demonstrate through simulations that the sampling model which enables the use of finite rate of innovation principles is well suited for modeling the acquisition of images by a camera. Simulations of image registration and image super-resolution of artificially sampled images are first presented, analyzed and compared to traditional techniques. We finally present favorable experimental results of super-resolution of real images acquired by a digital camera available on the market.
