First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Most of us don't like paying for antivirus (AV) software, but at least home users can rely on one of the free options, such as Microsoft Security Essentials, avast!, or AVG Free.
However, businesses usually have little choice but to pony up cash. Microsoft Security Essentials allows up to 10 corporate users within its license agreement, which is helpful but doesn't allow for small business growth.
Well, there's a new kid on the block that integrates two key computing buzzwords: open source and cloud computing.
ClamAV for Windows has just released a beta of version 3.0 of its software, and it's well worth a look for corporate users on a budget.
The virus-scanning engine is provided by ClamAV, a stalwart of open source AV defenses, especially on server systems. The virus definitions are provided by both ClamAV and the Immunet Protect, a cloud-based community project that relies on 'collective immunity'--users submitting suspicious files for analysis.
The key new feature in version 3 is offline scanning. Because of its cloud nature, ClamAV for Windows ideally requires an Internet connection in order to check files against virus definitions, but with version 3 the ClamAV engine and virus definitions are also held locally, so virus scans are possible when the Internet isn't present.
Perhaps ironically, one of the things I tend to do if the Internet goes down is to perform full virus scans, bearing in mind there's usually little else I can do, so this is a useful feature.
When I ran the software for testing purposes it told me it protected against just over 19 million threats, and that around 800,000 people were connected to the Immunet Protect cloud alongside me. It's difficult to argue with such figures.
The test virus scan I ran wasn't blazing fast, but I was happy to let it run in the background, and it seemed to play nicely with other software without causing any significant slowdowns.
It's possible to upgrade to a "plus" version of the software, the main purpose of which is to sponsor the Immunet and ClamAV community projects.
However, doing so also brings the full removal of viruses, whereas the free edition is only able to quarantine them. Arguably there's not much difference, apart from the manual labor involved in deleting suspicious files.
This is a beta version of the software, so perhaps it isn't ready for deployment on your systems just yet. There's no word on when the final release will make it, and it seems that the beta itself was due in November last year, so perhaps we shouldn't hold our breath.
But it's definitely a project worth bookmarking, especially for the IT manager on a budget. An informal FAQ about ClamAV for Windows can be found here.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

West Central Tribune (04.25.13)
Because of Minnesota's soaring incidence of chlamydia among teens and young adults, Kandiyohi County was chosen to participate in a new initiative urging parents to talk to their children about relationships, health, and sex. The initiative is a state-funded demonstration project, which could develop into a statewide, and possibly even a national, model for other communities to use. Kandiyohi County's project is believed to be the first of its kind in the United States that involves a community-based coalition and a plan developed by a local community.
Minnesota Department of Health officials are troubled by a huge increase in STD incidence that reached a new high in 2012. Figures released earlier in April revealed that chlamydia is now Minnesota's number one reported infectious disease, with 18,000 cases in 2012, mainly among young adults and teens. This may be due in part to more screening that is catching more cases; however, many believe that the overall rate also is rising, and it is reaching younger ages. Because of the recent rise in rates, Candy Hadsall, a clinical specialist in STDs and an infertility prevention project coordinator with the state health department's STD and HIV section, explained that health officials thought it was time to take a new approach. She noted, "Our belief was we needed to get communities involved. The top-down approach just doesn't work."
Last fall, Willmar, Minn. held a series of town hall meetings to create a grassroots strategy. The education campaign, launched this spring, is aimed at giving parents skills in talking to their kids about relationships and sex. A second campaign focuses on building awareness of chlamydia among teens and young adults, especially women. As part of the new initiative, the Kandiyohi County Coalition for Healthy Adolescent Sexuality is running an ad series that debuted locally in April, in which two teens embrace as the boy silently wonders, "Should I kiss her?" Dr. Deb Peterson, a family practice physician at Affiliated Community Medical Centers in Litchfield, Minn., and the Center's medical director of quality, declared, "It's about parents and kids hopefully having the conversation together. It comes back to making responsible choices." The spring ad campaign will be repeated in the fall. Organizers are using social media, text messaging, and local health providers, as well as the ad series, to help publicize the message.

Comments about Quill Brand� 1-1/2 Round Ring Binder; Non-View, Dark Blue, 3-Ring:
The appears to be a production change in the two metal releases. They are much flimsier than the old ones. I think they may break off or stop working with daily usage before the FY is up. I wish this size binder came with the EZ Release feature.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Florence Knoll Square End TablePrice: $921.00
Click on a swatch to view other color options.
Design by Florence Knoll, 1961.
By Knoll.
From Florence Knoll's 1961 Executive Collection of modern classics, the Knoll Square End Table is sharp in form and looks and a lasting design element. The Florence Knoll End Table is offered with a Polished or Satin Chrome base and a range of table tops in glass, marble and veneer. Note that marble tops are offered in two finishes: standard Polished or Satin. The satin finished marble creates a matte sheen that gives the top a natural honed appearance while offering the same protective qualities as the Polished polyester coated marble finish.
ExtraWhite Marble is currently on product hold/unavailable. The Florence Knoll Coffee Table in all finishes is Greenguard certified. The KnollStudio logo and signature of Florence Knoll are stamped into the base.
Classic Knoll
By: Mitchell K. (Houston)
Table arrived exactly as ordered. Classic and beautiful as expected.
Clean lines and well-constructed
By: A. S., Homeowner (Scottsdale, AZ)
We purchased the glass top with chrome version, and we absolutely love the table. The glass is very thick with a very slight bevel. The supports for the glass allow the glass to sit between 1/8" and 3/16" above the chrome base. The junction where the legs and the chrome base come together are rectangular, making the legs unobstructed from the floor to the glass. Beautifully constructed (no visible bolts and screws). The chrome makes one want to touch the piece -- smooth finish with polished edges.
Designer: Florence Knoll
While a student at the Kingswood School on the campus of the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Florence Knoll Bassett (née Schust) became a protegée of Eero Saarinen. She studied architecture at Cranbrook, the Architectural Association in London and the Armour Institute (Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago). She worked briefly for Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and Wallace K. Harrison. In 1946, she became a full business and design partner and married Hans Knoll, after which they formed Knoll Associates. She was at once a champion of world-class architects and designers and an exceptional architect in her own right. As a pioneer of the Knoll Planning Unit, she revolutionized interior space planning. Her belief in "total design" — embracing architecture, manufacturing, interior design, textiles, graphics, advertising and presentation — and her application of design principles in solving space problems were radical departures from the standard practice in the 1950s, but were quickly adopted and remain widely used today. For her extraordinary contributions to architecture and design, Florence Knoll was accorded the National Endowment for the Arts' prestigious 2002 National Medal of Arts.View other products by Florence Knoll

Every time any tragedy occurs with guns, liberal legislators pull the record out, dust it off, and play it so many times you can hear the scratches. Their solution to any gun tragedy is more laws. Some of their ludicrous proposals have been, tax ammunition, serial numbers on ammo, national registration, and NYC Bloombrain's idea of suing the gun manufacturer.
The problem is not as complex as a blind man can see it. It started in the 1960s when discipline went out the window which was replaced by permissiveness thanks to Liberals which flourished then. Dr. Spock with the help of Government destroyed the family along with all order. Even today big Government is in charge of raising families. God was kicked out of schools along with morality. So now you can reap what you sew.
Our Governor just announced to the world that our schools and churches will be disarmed in "Gun Free Zones." That is as brainless as a sign "Hurricane Free Zone" on the Atlantic. When will legislators learn that criminals see laws as meaningless?
Israel in the 1980s had a terrorist attack on a school. Since then the principal down to the janitor is armed. It hasn't happened there since. The AP media suppressed the news of a school principal in some southern college that ran to his car to get his gun and stopped the killer. If the principal in Connecticut was armed, and instead of running all over warning people, took cover and shot the criminal he could have saved himself and others.
Remember the Oklahoma City fertilizer bomb and what it did? These killers can only be stopped by armed trained people on the site, and it would be an excellent deterrent if the perpetrator knew that he will meet a strong resistance.

"Chicken Pox"
Date Range:
1965 To 1965
When I was around 10, I started strutting my stuff. My skinny little legs jutted out from my shorts that we used to wear to school in the hot summer days before summer break. I wanted to grow stronger and be a man - this was my ultimate goal.
All I knew was that mom told me I had to eat all the food on my plate and all those starving orphans in China (so ship my food to them if they were so hungry!!!) to be big and strong like my father was. He was a big man. 6'6" and bulky - strong. The kind you wouldn't want to pick a fight with, although I never saw him in any kind of fight. It was just the idea that he could if he wanted to.
I hadn't hit my growth spurt yet and didn't care much about food (how things have changed). I remember squishing the food around on my plate until everyone was yelling about not wasting food. I used to sneak table scraps to the dog and he'd sleep with me, his favorite, in gratitude, making my sisters mad.
One day I come home from school and I'm itching my legs inside my shorts. My mother takes one look at me and says "Oh my God!" and rushes me to the doctor's office. Sure enough, I had the chicken pox.
Within a day my entire body was peppered with the little red dots and boy did they ITCH! I scratched them until I was bloody raw and sore. My mom tried everything she could - calamine lotion, a cortisone shot, tying socks around my hands. I'd still itch and soon became one giant scab.
I'd never been sick a day in my life. Not even a cold. This was a strange and alien feeling - being sick. I didn't like ie ONE BIT. But the great part as that I got ALL the attention in the house. My sisters were nice to me, bringing me food and drinks and letting me watch whatever I wanted to on TV. I was relishing this power I had just by being sick, and milked it for all it was worth - asking my sisters just as one of them would sit down if they could get me some milk or cookies - all with a big, sad faced look and they'd look at me, trying to judge whether I was manipulating them or not and then sigh and get me whatever I needed.
I started feeling better, but still loved the attention so faked it more, getting my mother to tuck me into the sofa with extra pillows and brining me soup and hot chocolate with sprinkles, just the way I liked it.
I couldn't deny it too long though. I was starting to feel better and soon enough wanted to go out and play with my siblings & friends.
Until my sisters walked through the door that afternoon and both of them had the red dots on THEIR legs, same as my brother who came home a little while later.
Imagine having to wait on all THREE of them at the same time while they were sick and getting me back for all the "requests" I'd asked of them! I hated them.

Extended Analysis
Texas Eastside Kings: Texas Eastside Kings
Texas Eastside Kings
Texas Eastside Kings features a fine constellation of blues and jazz musicians from different generations, that offer an accomplished, heartfelt sound collage of East Austin's cultural legacy. The collective character of the record is double; on one hand, the music is played out as some sort of jam session where musicians come in and out naturally, with no interruptions, producing a compact yet flexible sound that illustrates their sharing of a common language and understanding. On the other hand, the record is a valuable and necessary homage to East Austin's postwar era; these musicians come to represent not only the history of the living but also one about the players that have left us along the way.
As observed in the liner notes, "this community was the heart of the most thriving time of Blues and R&B in Texas, hosting some of the hottest live shows in the state. Touring musicians such as T-Bone Walker, B.B. King, Amos Milburn, Guitar Slim and Lightnin' Hopkins would frequent the area because of its hoppin' clubs and the great local talent they could use as support." If Bourbon (New Orleans), Beale (Memphis) and Maxwell (Chicago) Streets are places to remember in other important music cities, East 11th Street-with clubs like Charlie's Playhouse, The Historic Victory Grill, I.L. Club-must definitely be part on any serious look at Austin music history.
Texas Eastside Kings offers a body of old school blues with catchy grooves that combines up-beat numbers with crawling, blues-to-the-bone feeling. The music is spiced up with a modern touch nurtured by funky rhythms, soul and jazz ("Mrs. Dee," "Hoochie Mamma," "Kuyk's Back"), and stretched down by "Fraulein," a country piano-bar, travelling-love tune, and the emotional ballad "You Hurt Me," both featuring the late great Clarence Pierce-who passed away last July-on vocals. As usual, all of it is perfectly packed by the "Dialtone sound," Eddie Stout's label's identity sign, which offers true and faithful Texas blues and roots music with fantastic and enriching instrumentation.
Throughout the record, every musician has time and space to show their best. Apart from Pierce, who is on guitar on all tracks, house-musician Nick Connolly proves, again, how much piano is capable to bring in to blues ensembles. One of the Texas Eastside Kings' main attractions though, is the recognition of changing vocalists. All five of them (Willie Sampson, George Underwood, Clarence Pierce, James Kuykendall, Donald "Duck" Jennings) shine at the spotlight, adding their own personal touch. Perhaps, some more Donald "Duck" is missed as "Stranded," a Junior Parker tune where Jennings shows an impeccable delivery, becomes one of the record's highlights.
With up and downs that basically depend on taste, Texas Eastside Kings is a fantastic record that aims to move listeners and bring them in gradually with exquisite music, while presenting a group of local-sometimes wrongly taken for granted-musicians. Overall, with a precise production, a joyful live feeling and a powerful concept behind it, the record effectively blends music, history and identity expression, showcasing and spreading the legacy and relevance of the musicians that significantly performed in Austin before the Texas capital reached national and international exposure.
Tracks: Cut You Loose; I Found Someone, Fraulein; Beard Is White; You Hurt Me; Tell Me, Mrs. Dee; Hoochie Mamma; Stranded; Been a Long Time; Love of Mine; You Hurt Me More; Kuyk's Back.
Personnel: Clarence Pierce: guitar, vocals (3, 5); Donald "Duck" Jennings: vocal (9), trumpet (5, 7); George Underwood: guitar, vocals (2, 4, 6, 12); Ephraim Owens: trumpet (5, 7), lead trumpet (5); Charles Shaw: drums (5, 7); Motoyasu Utsunomiya: guitar (1, 8, 10, 13); Willie Sampson: drums (1-6, 8-11, 13), vocals (1, 10); James Kuykendall: bass and vocals (8, 11, 13); Nick Connolly: piano (2-4, 6, 9-12); Mickey Bennett: organ (5, 7).

Oracle Database Server is a family of database products that range from
personal databases to enterprise solutions. Further information is
available at:
Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Oracle Corp.'s
Oracle Database Server could allow attackers to crash the server and
potentially execute arbitrary code.
The problem specifically exists within dbms_system.ksdwrt(), a function
that allows writing messages to alert.log. If a long string is passed as
the second argument to this function, a buffer overflow occurs.
Successful exploitation allows authorized remote users to cause the
Oracle server process to crash and potentially execute arbitrary code.
Authorized users include any users who are members of the SYS or SYSTEM
roles, as well as users who are granted execute permissions on the
dbms_system package.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability on Microsoft Corp.'s
Windows platforms can lead to a full system compromise, as most systems
are configured to run the Oracle service under Local System. Successful
exploitation of this vulnerability on Linux/Unix platforms usually
compromises only the database because the Oracle service runs under a
non-privileged account.
In cases where Oracle Internet Directory has been installed, an added
exploitation vector exists. This is because Oracle Internet Directory
creates a database user called ODSCOMMON that has a default password of
ODSCOMMON which cannot be changed, thereby allowing any attacker to
connect to the database server and exploit this vulnerability.
The following versions of Oracle Database Server are affected:

Zuccotti Park: What Future?
For weeks, organizers had demonstrated enormous skill in keeping the occupation going, steadily expanding while outfoxing Mayor Bloomberg in his attempts to evict them. But what end did it serve if their status as ethical defenders of the 99 percent was being damaged? It was, after all, their major asset. The complicated logistics of holding the park (and providing food, clothing, and warmth for a floating army of hundreds) was draining resources and forcing the most talented activists to narrow their focus to matters of mere physical survival.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very lively white with wonderful pineapple, honey and lemons on the nose and palate. Great finish with such intensity. Mineral, white pepper, and tropical fruit.

Cellar/Tasting Notes A big, powerful Margaux that should age for 20+ years, this inky purple-colored wine exhibits notes of spring flowers intermixed with blackberries, raspberries and cassis. Some lead pencil shavings and toasty oak are also present in this powerful yet at the same time very pure, textured,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Great nose of blueberries, spices and hints of walnuts. Full body, with a lovely finish of well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish. This is structured yet all in finesse. Best in years.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The palate is impressive: tightly coiled, honeyed fruit, very fine acidity, linear at first then fanning out across the finish with notes of dried apricot, nectarine, a touch of almond and a faint hint of spice. With good length and unctuous on the finish, this Guiraud is impossible to ignore.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Enticing aromas of toffee, cream, dried apricot and caramel, Full-bodied, very sweet and thick, with honey and caramel flavors. Long and rich, oozing with sweet
ripe fruit, this is like liquid candy."
Cellar/Tasting Notes An absolutely stunning nose of violets, creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, forest floor and subtle new oak burst from the glass. The wine has great fruit, superb texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel and an extravagantly rich, concentrated palate with low acidity and ripe tannin.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the outstanding successes of the 2009 vintage, this may surpass the superlative 2007. It has a more understated nose at the moment, but is very well defined with honey, white peach, orange peel and crushed stones. The palate has a viscous entry, is very well balanced, very powerful with..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Coutet 2009 is a sensational effort from Philippe Baly and his team.

The palate is vibrant on the entry, informed by touches of apricot and orange..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A brilliant effort from well-known oenologists Dany and Michel Rolland, the 2009 Bon Pasteur is dominated by Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc included in the blend.

I worked at Interval International full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – As a developer at interval you have exposure to most of the new java technology stack and frameworks from Java Spring Framework to working on Grails... Its a full enterprise stack w backend legacy connectivity w also a new backend ORM solution w middle tier web services as well as a frontend MVC with all the tech buzzwords in java you can think of. Its a great place to work whereas you may get remote capabilities, many vacation days off, resort benefits and more... It may be a place where you get complacent and comfortable eventually... So try to keep on top of your game and you will do fine.
Cons – Sometimes management forgets to promote, reward, show value, motivate, help grow and recognize those loyal to the business... They dont mean to, but it happens as they have many things to attend to due to the company being a publicly traded company.
Advice to Senior Management – Remember to cherish what you have and make a growth plan for those that embrace the company. As you once were at the beginning, help those achieve success to the top.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

An unsecured junior lien on the debtor's residential real estate may be avoided after the debtor completes Chapter 13 plan payments. The case law in the Eighth Circuit, interpreting Nobelman, permits wholly unsecured liens to be stripped off.
The District of Nebraska offers a database of opinions for the years 1997 to 2011, listed by year and judge. For a more detailed search, enter the keyword or case number in the search box above.
Subscribe to our opinions RSS feed
A trial was needed on the trustee's motion for turnover of cash confiscated by police. The funds were subsequently lost or misplaced, so there was a question under Eighth Circuit law whether the police could turn over property they no longer possessed.
An unsecured judgment lien on the debtor's residential real estate may be avoided after the debtor completes Chapter 13 plan payments. The case law in the Eighth Circuit, interpreting Nobelman, permits wholly unsecured liens to be stripped off.
Factual issues precluded summary judgment on the lender's non-dischargeability complaint asserting that the debtor intentionally provided false financial statements in order to obtain a loan. The debtor's alleged intent to deceive was at issue.
The court approved a settlement between the debtors and the trustee of a motion to convert and a motion to use post-petition earnings, because the agreement was in the creditors' interest & was better for the estate than protracted complex litigation.
The debtor's motion to avoid a lien on her residence as impairing her homestead exemption was denied. She did not assert her eligibility for the exemption in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 40-101, and may have confused it with the property tax homestead exemption.
The debtor may reopen her bankruptcy case to add an unlisted and unscheduled creditor. Because this was a no-asset Chapter 7, § 523(a)(3) does not preclude a discharge of unlisted, unscheduled debts that don't fall within § 523(a)(2), (4), or (6).
The court denied relief from the stay under § 362(d)(2) because there was no evidence of bad faith in the debtor's second bankruptcy filing. The ability to propose a confirmable Chapter 13 plan was questionable, but the debtor would be allowed to try.
Summary judgment on dischargeability was denied because the element of justifiable reliance under § 523(a)(2)(A) was a fact question, and because it was unclear from the record whether the debtor owed a fiduciary duty to creditors under § 523(a)(4).
The post-petition billing invoices sent by the creditor to the debtors' sole proprietorship were prohibited communications, but the creditor's actions were not willful because it stopped sending the bills as soon as it was notified of the problem.

Growing up, I was a fan of anything found in an arcade, including the big honking pinball machines that too often were relegated to a corner every time the latest and greatest coin-ops were introduced. I was also a fan of comic books, and while certain transforming robots and G.I.s were usually at the head of the line, I did spend a lot of time reading Marvel Comics. So when I heard that Zen Studios would be releasing a Marvel themed DLC table pack for Pinball FX2, I was pretty excited. When the original
Pinball FX
was released back in 2007, that was the one game I could quickly boot up on my Xbox 360 and play in short bursts just to take my mind off of the real world. While I haven't spent as much time playing the game or the sequel (
Pinball FX2
) recently, I was kind of excited to learn that Zen Studios had partnered with Marvel to bring out some new interactive downloadable tables featuring Marvel characters for Pinball FX2.
A couple notes on Pinball FX2, as we have not previously reviewed the game (which was a free release on 10/27/10 time limited tables.) Zen Studios stepped up to the plate and improved just about every aspect of the game from the original Pinball FX. New additions included online multiplayer, global leaderboards, Xbox live vision support and just about any type of stat possible made available. The nice thing is that this entire framework translates into Marvel Pinball (or any of the other add-on packs.)
As far as this specific table pack, Marvel Pinball for Pinball FX2 was released on Dec 7th for the Xbox 360 and consists of four tables featuring Iron Man, Spider-Man, Blade and Wolverine for the price of 800 MS Points and each table adds 50 more gamerscore. While there isn't any real "storyline" per se with each table, you can tell that Zen Studios put some effort into researching the main table character, as well as any friends or foes that were added in from the background of Iron Man, Spider-man, Blade and Wolverine. Because there are interactive animations going on all the time, a lot of the personality traits and quirks for any characters have been added in. You get quotes form Blade about his strength returning, Sentinel about stomps and calls out Wolverine to halt and so on. It really adds to the overall gaming experience, and keeps it in your head that you are playing a Marvel flavored table.
While all of the window dressing makes for a cool gaming experience, the real fun starts off as soon as you start playing any of the Marvel tables. After downloading the pack and firing up the Marvel tables, it is pretty clear that these tables were not only a labor of love for Zen Studios, but a significant advancement in their pinball physics. In fact, Zen didn't just stop at making the physics of the game better, as it is quite clear that they went in depth with the Marvel characters in order to provide a realistic environment for each table. There are no less than three characters per table that get in on the action. To keep Wolverine company, Sabertooth, Sentinel and Silver Samurai prowl the surface and add intrigue to the gameplay, while others villains such as Green Goblin, Deacon Frost and Whiplash hang out with our other heroes. The majority of these characters are not only animated, but can move around the table and cause havoc. On the Spider-man table, there is an instance where the Green Goblin flies all over the game-play area dropping his pumpkin bombs which become extra playable "balls" until they blow up. On the Wolverine table, Sabertooth will hop across the playing surface to get into a battle with Wolverine on the right hand side. Whiplash will flail his electric whips and so on. So these aren't your boring flipper action only tables, they offer extra animations, some unique interactions and of course the Marvel character look and feel.
As for my personal favorite, that would probably be the Spider-man table. The amount of ramps and tracks are crazy and the design and layout are both excellent. Another reason I like it is that I am more familiar with Spider-man and the other characters, so there is more of a sense of understanding what is going on in the background. While there wasn't any table that I didn't care for, the Blade table was probably my least favorite. I enjoyed playing it, but there were some quirks such as changing the table from day to "night" for when the vampires come out. While it fits into the interactive game-play style, it is kind of annoying because it impacts your ability to see the ball. Intentional or not, nothing ticks you off faster than playing pinball and losing a ball because of the table. The only other struggle I had was with some of the extra activities, like hitting certain lights, bumpers, holes and so on. There are also various "tasks" that they ask you to complete in the old-school led readout. The problem is that there is so much going on; it was difficult to tell what I was being asked to do next. If I took my eyes off the action on the table for a second, I ended up losing a ball or keying in my initials because the game was over.
Overall, I think Marvel Pinball is a great table pack add-on for Pinball FX2 if you want your pinball gameplay to be truly immersive and as realistic as possible. While there are a few opportunities for improvement in the layout and gameplay of a couple of the tables, they all provided hours of fun and addictive gameplay. Adding in the Marvel themes, heroes and villains in interactive form is just gravy in my opinion and really adds to the game. For anyone that likes pinball, Marvel Comics or both, the 800 MS Points are well worth adding these tables to your Pinball FX2 collection.
One final item to note is that a contest to pick the next Marvel Pinball character from Ghost Rider, Hulk, Captain America or the Fantastic Four is being held right now. You simply have to head over to
to vote. Personally, I am voting for the Hulk, because that should make for some real interesting battles with any of military elements that have sought his hide or the long list of freaks he has encountered over the years.

Anyone that is a fan of the Marvel characters or pinball in general will love Pinball FX II and specifically the Marvel Pinball table pack. While either piece alone is enough to satisfy someone, if you love both Marvel and pinball, you will be in heaven…

Count ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy among the group of folks tired of around the clock media coverage of Tim Tebow.
SB Nation caught footage of Jeff Van Gundy speaking with fellow analyst Mike Breen on the subject of Tim Tebow recent signing with the New England Patriots during the final minute of the San Antonio Spurs blowout of the Miami Heat.
"Are we really going down the road of following Tim Tebow every day," Jeff Van Gundy pondered. "Please."
Amen brother. Hopefully, JVG can deliver that message to his ESPN bosses.

What Car? takes fuel economy challenge - Introduction
- Fuel consumption contest
- We try and beat the best
- Tips on how to do it
Competing with teams from the Department for Transport, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, our task was to set the best team-average fuel consumption figure around a ten-mile route of Millbrook Proving Ground.
To set this figure, we would take to the city course, complete a lap of the two-mile high speed bowl to replicate a motorway and drive up and down the challenging hill routes.
'It will be an informal and fun day,' said Neil Fulton, head of the emissions lab at the Millbrook Proving Ground...

It's a very good possibility that Graham knows what he's doing and sees a lot of potential at TN. No doubt TN has a lot of issues to fix, but would anyone at the beginning of the season be surprised to hear that, after losing Bray, Hunter, Lathers, and Jackson (literally 4 of its 5 top players), we'd be 5-7? Not really - most realistic folks thought TN would at best be 6-6 or 7-5 even without the injuries. Take away those 4 players for most or all of the season, and 5-7 it is. It's a tough pill for fans & players to swallow having the repeated beatdowns this year, but the output of this year doesn't reflect where the program is headed. Take a look at how TN dominated a good Cincinnatti team at the beginning of the year. If Graham can help TN have even a decent run game, and Bray, Hunter, and Rogers are back, TN will make quite a bit of noise next year.
South Carolina running backs Jay Graham is going home. After serving on Steve Spurrier's staff for three seasons, Graham will return to Knoxville to take over as running backs coach at Tennessee — a possibility we mentioned earlier today.
"Jay is not only one of the most accomplished running backs in Tennessee history, but he has also proven to be one of the top running backs coaches in the SEC," Derek Dooley said via press release. "Jay understands what it means to be a Vol, and we are thrilled to have him on our staff."
For Dooley, the hire is a sound one. He takes an up-and-coming coach from an East Division rival, he sends the message that his program isn't so troubled that other coaches wouldn't want to come onboard, and he earns some goodwill from the fanbase by hiring an ex-Vol.
For Graham, the decision is a bit tougher to decipher. Yes, he'll get to help his alma mater. Also, you can bet he'll get a hefty raise. But while Dooley and his staff will face a hot seat season next year, Spurrier has things on the rise in Columbia.
Be it for his heart or his wallet, Graham might be risking his rear — at least in the short term — by moving from the Palmetto State to the Volunteer State.

Modeled after the real Portofino Bay on the Italian Riviera, this 750-room Loews hotel has nightly singers in the piazza, five great Italian restaurants, and a waterslide that resembles a Roman aqueduct. It's the most expensive of Universal's three resorts, but that's because of its bigger, more beautiful rooms, gorgeous spa, and three pools, including two quieter ones for couples.
Like all Universal resorts, the 1,000-room Royal Pacific has solid service, great dining, and modern, very comfortable rooms. While it lacks the spa of Portofino Bay (though guests have access to it) and the incredible waterslides at Hard Rock and Portofino, its more relaxing, Hawaiian style (including thrice-weekly luaus) and diverse dining options make it a very attractive hotel for the price.
Like all Universal resorts, the 650-room Hard Rock has solid service, great dining, and modern, very comfortable rooms. While it lacks the spa and quieter ambience of the pricier Portofino Bay, its pools and facilities are equally impressive. Plus, its more modest, rock 'n' roll theme might better appeal to teens than Royal Pacific or Disney's cartoonish fun.
Bright rooms (renovated in 2009) are the highlight at this otherwise unremarkable 742-room Doubletree across from Universal Studios. The courtyard pool is small; the service is bare bones; and Uno Pizza Express is the best on-site dining available. It's fine if all you want is a fresh, clean, and fairly inexpensive place to sleep -- and it has some decent business amenities -- but leisure travelers can do better elsewhere.

Notable Cases
Animal Defenders International v United Kingdom
Animal Defenders International challenged the UK's blanket ban on political advertising on TV and radio as incompatible with the right to freedom of expression guaranteed by Article 10 ECHR. In a judgment which effectively overrules its own previous case law, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights upheld the ban by a majority of 9-8 as a proportionate means of preventing the UK political process from becoming skewed towards the interests of those with the deepest pockets.
Kadi v Council & Commission
Mr Kadi was included in the United Nations Security Council's terrorist asset freezing sanctions just after 9/11, without giving him any reasons. His challenges in Luxembourg to the European Union's implementation of those restrictive measures are the leading cases on the relationship between international law and European law, on due process and rights of defence in the European Union, and on judicial review of targeted economic sanctions.
Chagos Islanders v United Kingdom
The Chagossians were evicted from the British Indian Ocean Territories in the early 1970s, to make way for a naval base on Diego Garcia. The cases they have brought are of constitutional importance. Bancoult I established that the power to govern for "peace, order and good governance" did not empower the UK to expel the islanders. Bancoult 2 is the leading judgment on the reviewability of the royal prerogative, and their case in Strasbourg on the extra-territoriality of the ECHR. The ongoing judicial review of the fishing ban will decide on the UK's EU obligations to overseas territories, and the admissibility of Wikileaks cables.
Ubamaka Edward Wilson v Secretary of State for Security and Director of Immigration
Ubamaka is a landmark case in the Court of Final Appeal in Hong Kong. The Appellant successfully argued that Hong Kong has an obligation to offer protection to those facing the threat of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment ('CIHDT'). The highly significant judgment states that those who fear either torture or CIHDT should in fact be afforded protection.
Olympic Stadium Judicial Review
The high-profile judicial review challenge involving Tottenham Hotspurs' right to use the Olympic Stadium saw football teams competing in the courts. The result was a goalless draw with West Ham having the rug pulled from under them when Newham did not proceed to fund. This is one of a number or cases which show the growing importance of, and high stakes in, cases involving procurement.

The Oxford closer was living in the moment — a 4-1 win over Spain Park and a berth to the Class 6A finals — when a reporter forced him to recollect.
About 15 hours earlier, Oxford was four outs away from elimination and the end of 13 seniors' high school careers. Saturday, the Yellow Jackets were in a place they'd been chasing for four years.
Oxford advances to the Class 6A state finals where it will take on Fairhope, which swept Central-Phenix City on Friday. The first game of the best-of-three series is at 7 p.m. Friday at Montgomery's Patterson Field.
"There were people in (the dugout) that you could tell thought that might be it," Taylor said of Friday's Game 2. "But us seniors, we've got experience and we know what it's like and what it takes to get the job done."
In the eyes of Oxford coach Wes Brooks, Taylor was the man to get the job done in Saturday's late innings.
Watching Spain Park's Colt Freeman, an Alabama signee, unravel in Game 2 on Friday, Brooks admitted being a little quick to head to the bullpen Saturday. Freeman had a no-hitter working through five innings before fourth-ranked Oxford (37-12) tied the game in five at-bats, and won 5-4 the next inning.
While it made Brooks quick on the trigger, Spain Park coach Will Smith refused to question his decision.
"I felt like if we could have just gotten out of the sixth, 4-0 or 4-1, we'd won (the series)," he said. "But, heck no. That's baseball, and that's life."
Zach Lovvorn got the start for Oxford and worked 3 2/3 innings. He had five strikeouts, but four walks and the weather weren't doing him any favors. With the wind blowing in, it was rendering his changeup — his best pitch in complement to his blistering fastball — less effective, actually speeding it up as it came to the hitters.
"He was working the batters," Brooks said. "And the best job he did for us was to get Spain Park's lefthanders out — we didn't do that last night.
"But Taylor's just a bulldog. Right then, I need a strike thrower."
In only his second extended relief appearance of the season, the senior attacked the Jaguars' lineup just as his coach had hoped. With two men on base, he struck the first two batters he faced to get out of the inning. He continued that in his 3 1/3 innings, allowing just one hit, one walk and picking up five strikeouts, including the game's last out.
"Him striking those two guys out, that made me look smart," Brooks joked. " … I told him, there was nobody in the state I wanted on the mound more than him."
The ending was the finale to a whirlwind two days for Oxford.
Saturday's game time wasn't decided up into the day on Friday. The Yellow Jackets toyed with the idea of staying overnight in Birmingham to keep from going back-and-forth with little time in between. Players said they didn't get home Friday night until around 11 p.m. — and falling asleep was not an easy task. The Yellow Jackets were back up for batting practice at 7 a.m.
"We were just basically playing off adrenaline," said Tanner Gardner, who was 2-for-3.
While momentum certainly didn't hurt, Oxford senior Jackson Stephens said they guarded against the opposite side of that coin.
"We tried to come back to reality pretty soon," he said.
Oxford scored three runs in the first inning as Smith chalked up his team's uncharacteristic performance to "carry over" from Friday night. Taylor McCracken singled to start things off, then Mathew Goodson reached on an error. Stephens walked and Joe McGuire continued his hot streak with a single to put the Yellow Jackets on the board.
"We did stuff today we haven't done all year," Smith said elaborating to the first-inning miscues of the error and a missed double-play opportunity. "… a lot of that was from the carryover effect, for sure."

This is the chandelier for non-chandelier people. Clean, modern, substantial, functional and looks far more expensive than it is.. We recently upgraded our 4 person table to a table that fits 8 comfortably, and the chandelier equally holds its own and enhances both sizes of tables
This light fixture looks like a similar fixture that costs over $700. It is gorgeous and looks amazingly expensive. Even my husband, who did not want to put it up, said that it is STUNNING! BUY THIS!
This is such a beautiful chandelier that it took my breath away when I finished putting it together. Even my husband was blown away by it when he came downstairs to see it. The crystals are not cheap looking (which was what I was afraid of when I purchased it) and when my guests come over for dinner, they just take a moment and stare at it in awe and ask tons of questions about it! They think I spent hundreds of dollars on it too! It's a must buy and it won't disappoint. Shipping was super fast, I was shocked by it. I'm so happy with this product!
This is a beautiful chandelier, even better than it looks in the photo. I got this because I couldn't swing the $2600 version from *** Glass crystals are individually wrapped--overall very well packaged. Had my father and boyfriend put it up--took approximately 1 hour. You receive plenty of crystals to decorate the lamp. My only suggestion would be to purchase small rubber stoppers to put on the top side of the chandalier to make sure no crystals slide off the sides.
I originally would have given this 5 stars based on initial impressions... but after 2 years of use it is now destined for the garbage. After about six months I realized that one of the lights kept flickering on and off. Tap the bulb and shake it and it would go back on. I wrote it off as a faulty bulb, until another bulb started doing the same thing. Then another. Then another. Then another. The wiring in this thing is so cheap and faulty that after 2 years of use there are 3 functioning lights. THREE working lights out of seven! Don't waste your money on this one, you'll just end up replacing it after a couple of years.
I first saw this light a year ago and used it the inspiration for my main floor renovation. Modern yet elegant. I was devistated when they sold out but super excited when it came back. Installation was quite simple - I did it myself one afternoon when my husband was at work and it only took about an hour. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!! It is super bright with 7 (60W) bulbs though so either plan on using something smaller or install a dimmer. Crystals were heavy glass. Length was very easy to adjust and this light would comfortably go on a vaulted ceiling. The price was perfect for a dining room on a budget.
Love this. Compared it to a similar light that cost over $1,000.00 and I can not tell the difference. The only reason I am giving it a 4 star out of 5 for quality is because one of the crystals was cloudy. Unless you are an expert in crystals, you will not be able to tell the difference between these and the higher quality ones. I wish I could upload a picture!
The light is great and looks great over my island. There are plenty of crystals to go down the bar. I was worried that there would be too many spaces between crystals but it is the perfect amount.
I bought this for the dining room to hang over a long large table. The shape was the deciding factor for me. My husband and I hung it ourselves. Not a lot of instructions included, so either have experience or a lot of patience (it took us all afternoon)! A dimmer switch is a must. Here's the thing, tomorrow I'm having it moved to our bedroom. It's going to be so much better over the king sized bed than in the dining room. The chandelier is sparkily but somehow not overly feminine, rather contempary but soft. I have beige bedding and drapes and this lighting is going to set it all off perfectly. I would have never imagined it until I saw it hanging in person.
Well packaged, Timely deliver. Looks $$$$$ more than I paid. I have a lower ceiling - 8ft - and was looking for a linear and not-overwhelming chandelier. You are able to play with the wires in the space from ceiling to top of chandelier so, in my case, it hangs about 7" from ceiling. Does not look cramped or too close. Very pleased and have received many complements. Thrilled I bought it and would do so again.

Stefan Sagmeister
Bare is the New Clad
In 1999, Stefen Sagmeister (1962- ), founder of Sagmeister and Walsh Inc., carved text into his own body with an X-Acto knife. His dedication to his projects and his willingness to communicate with the audience are shown in his startling depictions of sexuality, pain, and uncanny humor. By pushing the boundaries of graphic design, he conveys radical yet meaningful messages.
Stefan Sagmeister, Detroit, poster, graphic design, knife, TED Talk, nude, 20th century, AIGA
Designer (Advertised) Jeans
While recent advertising has been overwhelmingly digital, the contemporary graphic designer and former National Design Award winner, Stefan Sagmeister, relishes the opportunity to use his considerable graphic talent and imagination to create posters the traditional way, through photo offset lithography. These posters are deliberately human and personal, in response to the "cold" modernist design of some of his colleagues. In general, Sagmeister searches for ideas that elicit sensual or emotional responses from the viewer.
