Dear LFS Racers,
Today we release an new update of Live for Speed with 3D support and announce another version that is coming soon with a much improved Westhill track.
Version 0.6F:
Available today and well tested by forum visitors, this new update supports 3D devices including TVs, projectors, headsets and the Oculus Rift. While developing it, we also moved onto DirectX 9 which allows for better graphical effects in future while still allowing LFS to run on older versions of Windows and on Linux (using the Wine compatibility software). This version remains fully compatible with 0.6E with many improvements and fixes.
Read more about the patch and how to get it on the 0.6F information page.
Westhill Update:
Available soon... as the development for S3 has been taking some time, we thought it would be good to update something for our existing license holders. The best thing to update was the Westhill track which was always sparse and underdeveloped. The International configuration has been improved in many places, particularly in the twisty sequence of bends in the far corner which is now more challenging. There is a new National configuration, bearing off from the International track after the first right and left bends, involving some interesting gradient changes and technical bends. The scenery has been developed to a higher level of detail and you can drive around the access roads in the open configurations.
You can see more images of the new track on our screenshots page.
The configurations are complete and good to drive. At this point Eric is still finishing some buildings and filling some holes in the scenery. Scawen is making some improvements and optimisations to deal with the higher level of detail. We expect to release this version for testing in a few weeks, but remember that sometimes interesting things can come up that make things take a little longer than planned.
Further Progress:
After the Westhill update, Eric will continue with the S3 tracks he has been working on. Scawen will continue with the new tyre model. The new tyres currently feel good to drive but some work needs to be done on heat, pressure, friction, tyre load sensitivity and wear which are all closely linked.

Hello LFS Racers,
For anyone who runs a multiplayer server, we have released a new version of the dedicated host program in the form of a console application.
- Faster text updates when messages appear on screen, reducing packet delays
- Easier to run LFS hosts on Linux computers
- Improved protection against hackers
You can download DCon from our additional downloads page and you will find more information in the README.txt file that accompanies the dedicated host, or on the 'Console based dedicated server' thread in our forum.

Hello LFS Racers,
We have released a new version of LFS with a much improved multiplayer system. While using the same physics as 0.6B, it provides a much smoother, more reliable and interactive online experience. In previous versions there were often delays and lags on busy servers, but the new one works in a completely different way. We are still working on the new tyre physics and additional content, but had to take some time out from that because some hackers found a way to go online with no user name.
Some new things in 0.6E :
- New "instant" join system for fast and reliable connection
- No delays to others caused by players with slow connections
- New packet buffering and storage system reduces server load
- New hacking protection and cheat detection systems
- Two new translations : Indonesian and Romanian
- Various other fixes and improvements
Read all about the new version and how to get it on the 0.6E information page.
We hope you enjoy the new updates!

Hello LFS Racers,
The server move went well and only took around 6 hours. All our services are back up and running.
Thank you for your patience during that time.

Exclusive: "It Was Drake's Single & I Wanted To Rip It To Pieces"
Monday, Feb 27, 2012 11:48AM
As his music continues to heat up the Internet, newly signed Bad Boy Records rapper Los recently spoke to SOHH about his music, the new "Make You Proud" track with DMX and plans for 2012.
The Baltimore rapper was also asked to discuss a few of his freestyles, specifically, the work he has done over Drake's "Lord Knows," "Over" and DJ Khaled's "I'm On One."
"Lord Knows ... I felt like that beat just spoke to me. It's really to the point, that was like my reintroduction to being ill. I did a lot lof original music as of late and "Lord Knows" was that one where I was coming back to the mixtape circuit and to the cypher. "Lord Knows" is one of those that you bring to the cypher. There's alotta knowledge, sarcasm and wit in it and all those elements are what makes hip hop amazing."(SOHH)
"Over" was a statement. Basically like, "I'm better than everybody." That's what I aim for: I wanna upstage everybody. I wanna come with things that you've never heard and styles that you've never witnessed before, so when I did "Over" people were making a big hype about it. It was Drake's single and I wanted to take it and rip it to pieces. I would describe "Over" as a classic freestyle." (SOHH)
"It was a superhyped song, which made it really vulnerable to me. Just like with "Over," alotta times when a beat gets really hyped and everybody's excited about it, I'll take it. I'll do what I do to it and every time I take on a beat I aim to do something that hadn't been done at that point." (SOHH)
Check out some recent footage of Los freestyling alongside MMG artist Meek Mill:

The Bad Guy's Top 50 Movies of 2011
So I've seen roughly 120 films from 2011 and the vast majority of them were good. That made getting this year's list down to "only" 50 picks a real challenge, since I was forced to leave off a lot of films that I enjoyed.
Even though I've done my best to see everything there are still a few films that I haven't been able to track down due to terrible distribution, like Into The Abyss, The Yellow Sea, Tyrannosaur, Being Elmo and The Kid With A Bike. Rather than wait until March or April to write this list I figure it's best to write it now while 2011 lists have a bit more relevance. Besides, there's no shortage of good movies as it is.
A quick note about what qualifies as 2011: This list was pieced together based on U.S. release dates. I do have a grace period for foreign films that can carry into February, but foreign release dates and film festivals do not count. If you live in another country, downloaded something, or attended a festival you may have seen some of these films in 2010 or even earlier. The reason I have this system is to avoid disqualifying most foreign films. I try to support the arts legally whenever I can, but I realize that this often results in seeing foreign films a year after their native release dates. The most important question for me is "could I have seen this legally?"
20 Honorable Mentions In No Order:
Meek's Cutoff
X-Men First Class
Source Code
Cave Of Forgotten Dreams
The Trip
Batman: Year One
The Descendants
Certified Copy
Ip Man 2
Hobo With A Shotgun
Le Quattro Volte

50. Senna
U.S. Theatrical Release: August 12 2011
U.S. DVD Release: March 6 2012
No Fear. No Limits. No Equal.
This documentary about F1 racer Ayrton Senna is composed entirely of archival footage. Director Asif Kapadia manages to take these clips and create a seamless, expertly crafted work of storytelling. There's hardly any narration or obvious agenda here.
Like many Americans I was totally unfamiliar with Ayrton Senna's Formula 1 legacy. While this documentary has been highly celebrated among F1 Racing enthusiasts, it's probably best to go in knowing as little as possible. It's such a layered and complex life story that I was excited by the twists, the controversies, and the sense of danger. This is an entertaining and emotional ride that's worth taking, even if you have no interest in sports.
49. The Turin Horse
The Turin Horse is one of the most unique films I've seen in years. It's also one of the most polarizing, as it caused quite a few walkouts even among art house movie crowds. The reason for this? It's slow... almost painfully so. Director Bela Tarr has said that the film was intended to portray the crushing monotony of daily life, and he has certainly succeeded in doing so with this uncompromising vision.
That's not to say that The Turin Horse isn't captivating. It has some amazing camera shots, a haunting theme music that plays throughout the film, and it can be intensely provocative at moments. I walked away from this film feeling that it was the cinematic portrayal of that famous Socrates quote "the unexamined life is not worth living for a human being". Mere survival is not good enough.
48. Tucker & Dale vs Evil
This horror/comedy sitcom isn't exactly highbrow entertainment, but it's filled with plenty of morbid humor. It's definitely worthwhile viewing for anyone that enjoys films like Shaun of the Dead.
It involves two redneck buddies who invest in a fixer-upper cabin, looking for some simple rest and relaxation. However, they run into a band of college kids who mistake them as a threat. One things leads to another and suddenly Tucker and Dale are in over their heads, as the kids begin to take drastic measures to protect each other from these otherwise harmless vacationers. As you might expect this is a bloody and twisted affair, but if you can appreciate a very dark brand of humor this is one to look out for.
47. Fast Five
Yeah, a Fast & The Furious movie made this list. I'm as surprised as you are that Fast Five ended up being this good. I even put off seeing this for a while because I doubted anything from this franchise could live up to this amount of hype. However, after nearly a dozen personal recommendations and an impressive 78% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes I knew I had to check it out.
What I learned was that this movie is indeed "the big box awesome". It never pretends to be anything other than a full throttle action film with physics-defying stunts and plenty of eye candy. If you're looking for philosophical depth or naturalism look elsewhere. I found myself falling for this film in spite of myself. In a year of great action films, this may not be the best but it certainly deserves a mention on this list. The final chase scene is worth the price of admission by itself.
46. Mysteries Of Lisbon
U.S. Theatrical Release: August 5 2011
U.S. DVD Release: January 17 2012
When I first saw the run time for Mysteries Of Lisbon I assumed it was a typo. I soon learned that it's stated 4hr32m length was accurate, complete with a theatrical intermission.
Based on the 19th century Portuguese novel, this adaptation by director Raul Ruiz is a rare kind of immersion into a foreign world. Despite it's length it flows at a brisk pace thanks to it's colorful characters and complex intertwined narratives. This story spans three generations across Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy. Joao's journey of discovery is the closest thing we get to a central narrative, but there is no real protagonist here.
If you are adventurous enough to take the plunge I feel that this is a rewarding experience. Ruiz' use of cinematography adds a surreal element to the film and the period is so beautifully realized that it's easy to lose yourself in this epic.

Here we go.
45. Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol
Brad Bird's Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol was adored by critics and audiences. Many have declared it the best movie in the series, which is probably a fair assessment. The film moves at a blistering pace and is jam packed with impressive effects sequences. The rogue team is filled with likeable characters who have a sense of humor in addition to their obvious skill sets.
The only major criticism I have is that the film seems to skip around a lot, playing fast and loose with the plot. In a lot of the scenes we barely know who anyone is outside of the main crew, other times we're barely given any information at all. This is complicated by the lack of a central villain... and while I don't necessarily need something on the level of Phillip Seymour Hoffman from MI:3 it would have helped if there was more of a protagonist/antagonist dynamic.
In the end MI:4 is a fun roller coaster ride that I really enjoyed seeing on the IMAX screen. It could have been more than that, but I appreciate it for what it is.
44. Submarine
This Welsh coming-of-age film is extremely eccentric, but it also captures the experience of adolescence in a way that few others can. It has a lot in common with Wes Anderson films, but Richard Ayoade's Submarine is a bit more grounded in reality because it's intended to be a semi-autobiographical story.
While it's quirky style might not resonate with everyone it definitely worked for me. It's a warts and all depiction of childhood love that deals with some painful subjects, yet it's also one of the funniest movies of the year. It's hard not be succumb to its charms.
43. I Saw The Devil
U.S. Theatrical Release: March 4 2011
U.S. DVD Release: May 10 2011
It sometimes seems like South Korea is the land of a hundred revenge movies, so even though I Saw The Devil is another in a long line of films addressing that theme it does so in an original way that should keep viewers guessing what will come next. This is a film in which there is no real hero to root for, only immoral behavior ranging from bad to monstrous.
Kim Jee-Woon's revenge thriller is certainly not for the faint of heart. It's extremely violent and disturbing even by the standards of it's genre. However, I don't consider this is not an exploitation piece. It's an uncompromising film that makes us think about how to confront evil, both in others and ourselves.
42. Once Upon A Time In Anatolia
On the one hand Ceylan's film is a straightforward story about a murder investigation, while on the other it's a surreal and philosophical work. The stark realism is juxtaposed with moments of fantasy, where aspects of life and death are dealt with as if they were out of a fairy tale. These themes of objective reality and myth come full circle in the film's final act.
This Turkish import takes a while to get going, but it has beautiful scenery and a rich atmosphere. It's an intriguing film that will stay in your head for days or weeks after seeing it, so for those who don't mind it's languid pace it will be a rewarding experience.
41. Tomboy
Celine Sciammi's Tomboy is a beautiful coming of age story that addresses it's gay/lesbian subject matter with great empathy and heart. There's never a moment where any of the characters feels unbelievable in their role. This is partly because it's a film that's more concerned with characters' psychological motivations than plot devices. I appreciated the style and the way in which it addressed Michael's gender struggles with an open-ended approach.
While it does deal with issues of gender identity this film should remind anyone of what it was like to be this young and innocent. There are beautiful scenes of children at play outside the apartment complex that took me back to a simpler time in my own life.

I think you have a typo in your list Bad Guy, you accidently typed in Xmen First Class.
Anime Extravaganza
Official Doctor Who Thread
The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things. The swineherd cannot already be wed to the princess when he embarks on his adventures, nor can the boy knock on the witch's door when she is already away on vacation. The wicked uncle cannot be found out and foiled before he does something wicked. Things must happen when it is time for them to happen. Quests may not simply be abandoned; prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit; unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time, but not forever.
The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.

One of the lists I look forward to every year, along with Missing Reel's. Subscribed.
Good write ups so far. You only remind me that I still have a boat load of films to watch from '11.
The only one I've seen so far from your list is Submarine, which I semi-enjoyed. It's shot very well and its quirky and funny. Still, the constant voiceover got to me, and I had to shut it off about halfway through. Just couldn't stand it anymore. Maybe I should give it another go.
Looking forward to rest though.
You've wandered from the proper path, haven't you?
I do look forward to your lists. I always have pencil and paper ready to jot down movies you review that I haven't heard about. So far I have Mysteries of Lisbon, Once Upon A Time in Anatolia and Tomboy.
Re Submarine. One of the few times that voice over really works.

Awesome start.

It always takes me a couple of years to catch up on what I missed in any given year, so I will be keeping an eye on this list.
I'm a little surprised to see Batman: Year One in the HMs (as DTV films tend to get left out of most year end lists). What did you think about it? I was pretty lukewarm on it - the visuals were a bit too glossy to properly capture the look of the graphic novel, and the film seemed to drag a bit. I don't think it's one of the better DC Animated DTV films.
Le Doulos (Melville, 1962) -- 9/10
Equinox... A Journey Into the Supernatural (Muren & Woods, 1967) -- 5/10
The Hot Rock (Yates, 1972) -- 7/10
Maximum Overdrive (King, 1986) -- 6/10
Downhill Racer (Ritchie, 1969) -- 9.5/10

Lists: Film, Literature, Music,
Social: Blog-Facebook-iCheckMovies
40. Moneyball
Aaron Sorkin's script for Moneyball has more to do with leadership and outside the box thinking than it does about sports. Most films in this genre focus solely on teams or athletes, but Moneyball is about the men like Billy Beane and Peter Brand who work behind the scenes to build a contender. But for anyone who knows anything about modern day baseball, the game is won and lost on payroll. The lack of a salary cap is the driving engine behind this tale of saber-metrics. The Athletics try to compete with teams like the Yankees and Red Sox... not by outbidding them, but by outsmarting them.
The film really captures the struggle and anguish of sports, as well as the joy of rooting for an underdog. As someone who doesn't even watch regular season baseball I was still caught up in the drama. Sorkin's script helps humanize these characters and draw us in, even if we don't know the first thing about OPS.
39. Shame
Shame is a film that's more about addiction than it is about sex. Brandon seems like a character that a many men would envy, but as we watch his life through his own eyes we realize that he's a deeply troubled individual. Despite his professional success and sexual conquests, he is unable to establish an intimate connection with anyone - not even his own sister. Brandon's insatiable need leads him down a path that causes harm to others and is ultimately self-destructive. His pleasures are fleeting by their very nature and all he can do is reiterate them as many times as he is able.
This film features strong performances by Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan. Steve McQueen's direction gives the piece a very distinct and spellbinding feel. Shame's distribution was hurt by its NC-17 rating so if your theaters were unable to show it I'd recommend renting or streaming it once it's available.
38. Pariah
When I first saw the trailer for Pariah I didn't have much interest in seeing it. It looked as though it was some kind of emotionally manipulative dramatic cliche, the kind that tries too hard to win you over with it's lack of subtlety and cloying sentimentality. But then it started getting rave reviews...
It turns out that Dee Rees' film is an extremely authentic and complex drama about sexuality and identity. Not only are the actors (particularly Adepero Oduye) great, but the characters they portray are rich and complicated. Even when we see people display shocking behavior we're able to understand how it fits into the context of their environment and upbringing.
Pariah is a small movie about a very big subject. It's simultaneously tender, enlightening, and heartbreaking. It just might be the best film I've seen about homosexuality.
37. Henri Georges Clouzot's Inferno
U.S. Theatrical Release: None
U.S. DVD Release: April 26 2011
Henri Georges Clouzot is considered one of the giants of French cinema to this day. This documentary is about a film he worked on in 1963 titled "L'Enfer". Because of his incredible reputation Clouzot was given full creative freedom and an unlimited budget. He took full advantage by hiring many of the biggest stars in Franc at the time. He booked three different camera crews, ran up countless overtime, and began experimenting with avant garde film techniques that he believed would revolutionize the genre.
But the film was never even released. The whole project was a disaster and the celluloid was hidden away in a dusty archive for nearly half a century... until now.
This is the story of the movie that never got made. It's a fascinating and cautionary tale about artistic hubris that has to be seen to be believed.
36. Young Adult
I give the creators of Young Adult a lot of credit for having the guts to make this film. Nearly everything about it flies in the face of conventional, modern comedies. Some have argued that Bridesmaids pushed the envelope with it's unlikeable female protagonist, but this is a different kind of animal. Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron) is so profoundly self absorbed and immature that it would take serious effort to empathize with her. However, this allows for some edgy dark comedy and makes the movie one of the funniest of 2011.
The whole film revolves around Mavis' desire to return to her hometown and steal her high school sweetheart Buddy back because (in her mind) the two of them are meant to be together. The only problem is that Buddy Slade is happily married with a newborn baby. As you might expect there is a great deal of twisted humor and painfully awkward moments. It's the kind of unapologetic, dark film that offers no real redemption... so it shouldn't come as a surprise that audiences are split on it. I personally loved it, but Young Adult is currently sitting at 58% fan approval on Rotten Tomatoes.
Patton Oswalt and Charlize Theron turn in very impressive performances here, each understanding the subtlety of their parts and breathing life into this unconventional script. If you're tired of the typical Hollywood comedy you should definitely seek this out. It's one of the funniest movies I've seen in years.

That's interesting that the voice-over for Submarine was a problem for you. I thought it worked well but I never gave it too much thought.
I'm surprised you hadn't heard of those three but I suppose they are a bit under the radar. If you decide to check them out I hope you enjoy them.

This is a very entertaining list so far. CONTINUE.
Been waiting a long time for this. Your list is always one of the best annual treats GD has to offer
My first novel, Kardia, has now been published! Click here to read!
Count me among those who were waiting for your list - it's always a good read.
Glad to see you enjoyed Fast Five so much. I was also surprised at how absolutely great it was at being mindless action fun.
I was surprised how much I liked Young Adult. Easily the gutsiest comedy of the year.

OK i like the sound of this Young Adult + charlize theron
35. Beginners
After Oliver's mother passes away his father Hal steps out of the closet and begins to pursue a gay relationship at the age of 75. Despite his old age and a cancer diagnosis, Hal is undeterred in his quest to seek out companionship and realize his sexual identity. It isn't until Hal finally succumbs to his cancer that Oliver tries to end his loneliness by courting a new love interest named Hanna.
If you read the synopsis you might think that Beginners is a tear jerking film about self pity and lost opportunity.However, this is a genuinely lighthearted, funny, and whimsical movie. I found the whole thing to be delightful and even life-affirming. It has a lasting emotional impact without ever succumbing to melancholia.
This movie also has an awesome dog. I just thought I'd throw that out there...
34. Don 2
It seems like every year we get a dozen superhero movies. It's gotten to the point where nearly every comic book hero has been given a film adaptation or is in the process of being rebooted. These good vs. evil stories make for decent entertainment, but I have to admit that I get tired rooting for Superman to save the day.
Don 2 is a super-villain movie, which is probably why I found it so refreshing. The protagonist of the film, Don (played by Shahrukh Khan) is a cross between The Joker and James Bond. He's so effective at controlling the drug trade of southeast Asia that other mobsters fear him and conspire to kill him. A wanted man in every country, Don must devise a scheme that keeps him out of harms way while staying one step ahead of the law. I don't want to give too much away, but there's also a very ambitious heist attempt.
Although I enjoyed MI:4 I must admit that I got a lot more fun out of this Indian import. It's relentlessly entertaining and fast paced despite it's 2 1/2 hour run time. It does have some formulaic pieces and cheesy one-liners, but who cares? This is a movie where we can cheer for the bad guy as he tries to succeed against impossible odds... I love that.
33. Rango
Rango was hands down the best U.S. animated film of 2011. Granted, Pixar seemed content to take the year off, but it's still worth noting that this is streets ahead of competitors like Rio or Puss In Boots.
It's a movie that will delight younger audiences but it's also loaded with film references and adult appeal. Trying to categorize Rango is difficult... it's a film noir, a fish out of water story, an action movie, and a comedy. It can shift from slapstick comedy to philosophical introspection on a dime and it references everything from Chinatown to Clint Eastwood. It should also be noted that this is one of the most beautiful animated films I've ever seen. The detail of each character is astounding and watching it on Blu Ray is visual tour de force. There's one chase scene that has so many moving pieces you wonder how the animators were able to blend so much beauty and chaos onto the screen.
32. Midnight In Paris
I went into Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris with low expectations and ended up falling in love with it's science fiction premise. It's easy to be seduced by its unabashed love for Paris and the arts in general.
As Gil (Owen Wilson) is abandoned by his fiancee one evening he's left to wander Paris on his own. He soon finds himself being led into a magical cab that transports him through time to 1920s, an era he's deeply nostalgic for. He soon meets iconic figures like Fitzgerald and Picasso. Gil finds himself addicted to this past and finds himself returning to it each night.
It's a breezy, funny, and romantic film that's sure to delight fans of the city as well as many who have never been there. The film also challenges the notion that the grass is always greener, as some in the 20s are nostalgic for their past. We're reminded that while there may be plenty to like about prior eras the present is always full of exciting possibilities.
31. Cell 211
U.S. Theatrical Release: None
U.S. DVD Release: August 29 2011
Despite being a 2009 Spanish film, Cell 211 only played at a handful of U.S. film festivals and wasn't released on video until late 2011. It's a shame that it suffered such poor distribution, because this is one of the best prison movies I've ever seen.
The film involves a riot in a maximum security Spanish prison. One of the new guards gets left inside during his first day on the job, so he now must try to pass himself off as one of the inmates in an effort to make it out alive. It's a creative and topical idea that creates palpable tension throughout. As the story progresses we begin to constantly re-evaluate notions of morality, as seismic events occur one after the next. The audience is kept on the edge of their seat right up until the final minutes.

Martyn Bennett
There have been few more thrilling sounds in the last decade than Martyn Bennett flattening the usual barriers of time, culture and genre that imprison music in boxes. There have certainly been fewer images more compelling than Martyn Bennett on stage, hair flailing in all directions, playing a traditional tune on bagpipes or fiddle while a thunderous sound system pounded out beats and samples behind him.

I've always wanted to use the words "naughty" and "dairy" in the same sentence. But more on that some other time.
I put a link to Gady Epstein's excellent post on the recent dairy industry PR meltdown in my own earlier post on the topic, but it's worth coming back to at more length (and not just because I'm referenced in it). Gady's post is one of the very best discussions of the dark side of PR in China in any source, and anyone interested in the topic should give it a careful read.
Gady remarks a bit on the possible origins of the scheme to undermine competitors through black PR, including referring indirectly to a comment in my own post where I said I felt it a bit too conspiratorial (actually, I said "Snidely Whiplash", but if you didn't grow up watching cartoons in the '70s*, I meant "conspiratorial") to suppose that the plot had originated at the highest levels of Mengniu management. On that point, Gady writes:
BossePR has worked with Mengniu's most senior executives for years, people above An up to the very top. Do you conduct black-bag special ops at the behest of a division head if it is against the wishes or previous inclinations of more senior managers?
I suppose it depends how explicit those wishes or previous inclinations are.
Bear in mind that this is all speculation and conjecture. I think that it is plausible that a plan to discredit rivals was hatched or at least discussed at the very top of Mengniu. It would be dumb of said management, but it is plausible. However, I also think that it is entirely likely that top management involvement, if any, could have been more indirect. I would have little trouble believing either a sort of Thomas Becket, "will no one rid me of this turbulent dairy priest?" situation, or a win-at-any-cost culture tolerant of sketchy behavior in the pursuit of business goals.
In any of the above situations, top management would still deserve a good share of the blame. In practice, it seems more likely that a bunch of mid-level types and agency people will get their heads rolled, with the damage stopping a comfortable distance from the executive suites.
There is nothing particularly Chinese about discrediting rivals. It is a time honored PR tactic often referred to by the antiseptic term "depositioning", which makes it seem vaguely professional and like you're not engaging in some kind of wicked skullduggery. In fact, your skullduggery may be someone else's hard-nosed marketing. Witness the technology industry's time honored tactic of dispensing FUD –fear, uncertainty and doubt– about rivals. The trick is to employ some subtlety and to not to cross the magic line separating FUD from, oh, libel. Plus, the self-infatuation of many technology executives means the source of FUD is often –though not always– clear. If Steve Jobs is trashing Android, well, he's pretty clearly talking his book, as it were.
What is particularly Chinese about this case is that it involves a complex skein of intertwined ethical problems across multiple industries. If you have a media that easily falls into bed with big companies and an ethical environment that tolerates PR firms willing to sock puppet for cash and a public primed to believe the worst of scandal-plagued industries, well then you have a recipe for trouble.
It's great that Chinese media blew the lid off this, but there are plenty more lurking scandals where this one came from.
Speaking of Gady and dairy, looks like I'll be back on Sinica this week, with Gady pinch-hosting for traveling Kaiser, as we discuss PR in China as well as some other interesting stuff.
*Snidely Whiplash was the villain from the Dudley Do-Right cartoons. He was played by Alfred Molina in the 1999 Brendan Fraser clunker, but I'll always remember him like this:

Elaine Boyer, a long-standing veteran of the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners' District 1 seat, defeated her only GOP challenger Tuesday.
Boyer trounced Larry Danese in the Republican primary, taking more than 75 percent of the vote, according to preliminary returns. Out of 13,363 votes counted early Wednesday morning, Boyer had 10,178. More than 5,000 absentee votes had yet to be counted, but Boyer appeared headed toward certain victory.
And since she has no Democratic challengers in the November general election, her primary victory will stand.
Boyer ran on a platform of fiscal and governmental conservatism, saying she has voted against millage rate increases for 20 years and worked to reduce the size of DeKalb County's government.
Danese said he found the sitting commissioner's support too considerable to overcome. As a candidate, he said he wanted to ease the tension between the CEO's office and the board of commissioners, improve police presence in neighborhoods and also shrink the county government's size.
"I ran the best race that I could with the money that I had and my record, and the voters have selected Commissioner Boyer," he said Tuesday night. He said he had no plans to run again. "I'm not willing to take anything more out of my retirement account to try to overcome the advantages that a 20-year incumbent has. I think basically the voters have selected more of the same, so we're going to have another four years of more of the same."
Danese served as Kathie Gannon's representative on the county's planning commission before challenging Boyer for the District 1 seat in 2008 as a Democrat.
Boyer could not immediately be reached for comment.

You probably needn't be a five time world DJ championship winner and one of the youngest DMC champions in history to rock a dance party in 2012, but we'll be damned if it doesn't help. A-Trak, formerly Kanye West's DJ and currently a world-renowned performer on his own, tore down the Austin installment of vitaminwater uncapped last night. Though the party was held at a huge skating rink, no skates were distributed. Still, Dos Equis hooked up the open bar and there was much body moving, with A-Trak performing what could most accurately be described as audio surgery, stretching breaks and bridges, carving up records like he was vying for another title. Some songs were indistinguishable, but the ones that were, Kanye's "Mercy," French Montana's "Pop That" and The Rapture's "How Deep Is Your Love," sent attendees into a sing along frenzy. The community howling during "Big Bad Wolf," the single A-Trak released with Armand Van Helden as Duck Sauce, was particularly primal.
Before A-Trak took the stage, fans were treated to the retro synth funk of Little Dragon. Ever-energetic singer Yukimi Nagano taught a dance class of sorts while leading the group through most of the band's acclaimed album Ritual Union. The night's surprise moment also belonged to the group, who brought out Big Boi to perform "Mama Told Me," a never-before-heard collab from Big Boi's upcoming album Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors. Between sets, Party Supplies kept the crowd in sway, attendees sweating out the day's troubles for the duration of the show, replenishing fluids with sips from ice cold vitaminwaters. Little Dragon even joined in on the act, dancing onstage with Big Boi as he performed an encore of "Shutterbug" to soothe a crowd left ravenous by A-Trak's nimble hands.
Check out the vitaminwater YouTube channel for exclusive videos from the show. uncapped continues throughout the summer; see scheduled dates in the sidebar on this page and sign up for our mailing list to RSVP when we hit your town.

The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

I was going to trade a set of Hartley 200's for a set of Klipsch KG4's but the guy changed his mind. A year ago, I must have used a cheap receiver to test these speakers with and thought the sound was lacking alot.
Man was I wrong! I went to retest em and was completely blow away by their imaging. And they were upside down too.( their connectors are on the bottom and they're heavy and I was just testing them)
Tonight I righted them and toed them in alittle and I was using an Nad c370 int. amp and a denon 3800 dvd/cd player. I listened to a few more cds and then Sade's best of cd again and that one WOWed me again.
Then I was looking for something else and stumbled on the Apocalypse Now Redux soundtrack cd. This is the end(DOORS) sounded pretty darn awsome. Jim Morrison sounded like he was 10' away from me, LIVE. Then the next song came on and my jaw dropped. The soundfield that came out of these Hartleys is a phenomenon of the fourth dimension. I hope somebody else has this cd to evaluate my sanity concerning these speakers and soundtrack playback audition.
I'm keeping these SWEET speakers for life!
I'll get a name of the song tomorrow but I can't wait to hear it on my SRS2's.

By the nature of its side effects, cancer treatment can make a private battle a very public affair. For a woman with cancer, having a bald head, pale skin or a missing breast can make her feel like she's being targeted by a bright spotlight and a banner that says, "Cancer patient."
But now more than ever, there are resources for women that will put the spotlight back on their work, their accomplishments and their life—and change that banner to simply read, "Woman."
In Tacoma, for example, there's the Breast Cancer Resource Center, which Patch's Jennifer Chancellor profiled last year.
There's the American Cancer Society Wig Bank in Tacoma, 1313 Broadway, Suite 100.

Special sessions are an interesting phenomenon: Rather than having multiple policy areas vying for legislators' attention, we are able to concentrate all our energy on a narrow number of topics.
Five things that happened this week at your Texas Capitol are:
• Vetoes, signatures and more
Did you know that 5,868 bills were filed in the Legislature this session, and 1,437 of those were then passed by both chambers and sent to the governor? Of that number, 206 have been signed and 2 have been vetoed. As I write this column, Gov. Perry has over 1,200 bills left to decide what to do with before June 16th. If he takes no action upon them by that date, they automatically become law. I will be sure to keep you updated of any developments.
• Water Treaty with Mexico unenforced
What does an obscure 70-year-old water treaty between the U.S. and Mexico have to do with today's Texas' economy? Quite a lot, it seems. The document, otherwise known as the "Treaty of the Utilization of Waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande," requires Mexico to release an average of over 114 billion gallons of water a year to the U.S. from six tributaries that feed into the Rio Grande.
However, Mexico is currently behind on these releases. According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), they have decreased steadily since 2010. During 2010, 82 percent of the water was delivered, but that fell to 29 percent the next year and six percent the next. If this continues, the South Texas agriculture industry, as well as area municipal water supplies, could be in grave danger.
Gov. Perry, Ag. Commissioner Todd Staples, Sen. John Cornyn and others have all separately asked President Obama to intercede and ask Mexico to comply, but so far nothing has been done. Let us hope he will take action soon.

The First Trial before the Iraqi High Tribunal
This 95-page report is based on 10 months of observation and dozens of interviews with judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers, and is the most comprehensive analysis to date of the trial. Human Rights Watch, which has demanded the prosecution of Saddam Hussein and his lieutenants for more than a decade, was one of only two international organizations that had a regular observer presence in the courtroom. The Iraqi High Tribunal was undermined from the outset by Iraqi government actions that threatened the independence and perceived impartiality of the court. Members of parliament and even ministers regularly denounced the tribunal as weak, leading to the resignation of the first presiding trial judge. Judging Dujail reports previously undocumented and serious procedural flaws in the trial.

Mercenaries 2 Hints and Tips
The following hints and tips for Mercenaries 2: World in Flames are available on the Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) video game console. These tips are just basic ones to help you get started in the game, more advanced hints and tips as well as walkthroughs are on the way.
Cash from Hostiles
Hostile (and friendly!) units usually drop weapons and cash when you kill them.
The Sliding Crouch
If you use the zoom function while sprinting the Merc will slide into a crouched position.
Melee Bash When Needed
If there is a vehicle, debris or some another annoying object blocking your path you can melee bash it out of the way!
More Cashola
Humans often drop weapons, ammo and money when they die.
Small Fuel Tanks
When destroyed, vehicles often leave behind fuel tanks! You can recover these tanks to quickly obtain small amounts of fuel.
Play it Safe, Sometimes
Use your binoculars to scout out combat encounters and uncover the faction identities of units from a distance.
This is not Forza
If you're driving a fast vehicle and need to quickly slide into a turn, use the handbrake.
I Said Recruit, and Move Out
Recruiting a helicopter pilot will allow you travel quickly to destinations you find (and secure from enemies) out in the world.
Ding! Delivery is Here
If you add a helicopter pilot to your PMC you'll be able to get supplies and vehicles delivered into you in the field.
Suck them Dry!
Having a helicopter pilot at the PMC will allow you extract fuel, munitions and large cash bundles from the world. However, if those items belong to a faction, make sure they don't see you do it!
Put a Cape on
If you enter a faction's vehicle and nobody sees you do it, you will be disguised as a member of that faction! But, don't forget that if you stay around long enough in their presence the faction will discover who you really are!
Get That Crap Fixed
Adding a mechanic to your PMC will allow you to unlock and purchase special vehicles directly from the PMC. Some of these vehicles carry offensive options only available via your mechanic.
Break the Sound Barrier
Recruiting a jet pilot will allow you to drop in many air strikes any time you'd like. Make sure you keep your stockpile full of strikes so you can use air support as much as possible out in the field.
Not All Work...
Air strike munitions can be purchased from faction contacts. More strikes will become available from your contacts as you complete more work for them.
Spare Him, for Cash
High Value Targets (HVTs) are bounties available from every faction. Each HVT is worth double the money if you capture them alive.
You Contracted What?
Every faction has work available for you in the form of contracts and bounties. Contracts become available over time while bounties are a standing list of targets you can complete any time you'd like.
Feed Me Seymore...
Running low on fuel? Purchase additional fuel capacity from your faction contacts. Each one usually has a few that they will sell as you complete more work for them.
Jumpin' Jack Flash
Want to get around faster in the world? Take over outposts for each faction and they will allow you to transit to their newly acquired facility... provided you're on good terms.
Life's Too Short, Love Everyone
Making a faction happy has benefits: their faction units will jump in your vehicle if you honk your horn, contacts will sell you support for cheaper prices and they offer you more contracts.
Do You Still Love Me?
If you get on a faction's bad side, an easy way to get back on their good graces is to kill members of their rival faction. Completing HVT and destruction bounties for the faction will also improve their opinion of you.
Choose the Right Tool
If you're hammering away at a vehicle or structure and it's not taking much damage, you may need something more powerful: RPGs, anti tank rockets, C4, and air strikes allow you to increase the damage you deal! Remember, everything can be destroyed.
Oh!!! 5 points!
Hurting civilians will cost you money! If you're interested in maximizing your profits, make sure you survey the area for innocents before you start laying waste to it.
Satellite In My Eye
As you meet more factions and contacts in the game, Fiona will be able to use their networks to expand her satellite coverage for Venezuela. try to meet as many factions as possible so you can travel to more sections of the map.
Well Hello Columbus
Explore the world! There are tons of bounties, cash bundles, air strike munitions and fuel tanks out there waiting to be collected for use in your operations.
Scrap it up to What?
A mechanic will be able to use the spare parts you find in the world to construct special vehicles! Try to find as many of these parts as you can.

Kristen Bell Sizzles In A Pink Bikini For The September Esquire
August 13th, 2012 8:00pm EDT
Girl-next-door Kristen Bell gets sexy in a pink bikini for the September issue of Esquire magazine.
The 32-year-old is set to star with her husband, actor Dax Shepard in the upcoming Hit & Run, a comedy about a former getaway driver (Shepard, who also directed the film) who leaves the witness protection program to make sure his girlfriend (Bell) gets to her new job on time.
The early days of Shepard and Bell's real-life romance is somewhat mirrored in the film, and Kristen says her husband's shady past was revealed to her during filming.
"You couldn't find two more extremes. He used to be a drug addict, and I don't know if I've even seen cocaine at a party, let alone done it," she says. "When I found out that my Prince Charming has gone on five-day benders where no one could find him, I was like, 'Wait, what?'"

Local RDAs are demanding a taxpayer's Stimulus Package. No, they are not demanding… they are conspiracy right before our eyes in the biggest money grap in California history.
Twentynine Palms is onboard the bozo bus, attempting to usurp millions that California so desperately needs to shift to schools, local and county governments during the most chilling economic downturn in California's history.
• City of Twentynine Palms in the Hi-Desert rushing to bond in a $5 million to include financing of a performing arts center (emphasis added).
Brown's Countdown, day 61: Cities shift redevelopments funds to foil
Sacramento Bee | Friday, Mar. 11, 2011 |
Local government leaders across California are hurriedly shifting redevelopment agency properties and money into city coffers ahead of a possible state move to abolish redevelopment and redistribute unspent funds.
It's unclear if such maneuvers will work. Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed budget also contains language allowing some of the transfers to be reversed or at the least wind up in court.
"This is going to be lawyers' delight," said John Shirey, executive director of the California Redevelopment Association.
Among the moves this week:
• Sacramento city officials approved the transfer of $1.4 million in redevelopment money to the city for a museum project and a promenade along the river.
• The city of Los Angeles passed a series of measures aimed at tying up $1 billion in redevelopment funds in contracts, projects and loans.
• The city of Santa Clara transferred $205 million plus 178 acres of property from its redevelopment agency to other local entities, including the authority working on a new stadium for the 49ers.
• Alameda County transferred 11 properties from its agency to the county and tied up $61.5 million in redevelopment funds through loans, contracts and agreements.
The last-minute transfers come as state lawmakers near a vote on the budget, which includes Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to eliminate the roughly 400 local redevelopment agencies statewide and redistribute the funds. The Governor's Office projects the move will erase $1.7 billion of the state's $26.6 billion budget deficit.

I didn't make it to our community garden this week, but the others soldiered on (um, like I'm a real big help!), and here is Peggy Burch's account of the afternoon, plus a picture that illustrates the lasagna mulching that I told you about last week and that she expands on here:
PEGGY: I'm starting to feel solicitous and tender toward the little kale and mustard green plants we put in the ground 10 days ago in the sizable back yard on by U of M. When we arrived Sunday afternoon, Sue Easley, who's a very calm and knowledgeable presence -- not a bit like a field boss! -- was moving quickly and seemed a little worried. She wanted to get the gauzy white row sheets up fast and get some water on the plants immediately to cool them down.
The little plants did look like they'd done a bit of suffering, but they appeared to respond within an hour or so to the cool water and open air. Still, we had to replace the row covers because of flea beetles, little monsters with the leaf-eating skills of their class and the jumping skills of a flea. What a bad combination. Flea beetles like brassicas, which is to say kale and mustard greens.
So we're working out the watering thing to keep the plants under the covers from overheating. Until we get the water on a timer, we're going to have to coordinate trips to turn the water on and off. Sue says we're going to have to install some drip irrigation so we won't accidentally stress out any plants.
While I watered -- obsessively -- Michael and Pam got another row ready for planting, laying down some lime, damp newspaper, a layer of coffee grounds and filters, a layer of grass clippings that Sue and Michael scavenged from plastic bags on the curbs for trash pickup. Sue explains that once you "create a darkness" - poetic phrase, huh? - with the newspapers, etc., the weeds will die and the earthworms will come up, eating newspaper on their way. All of this excellent information is available in the book Sue considers great bedside reading, called "Weedless Gardening" by Lee Reich (Workman Publishing, $8.95).
Next week, we'll be putting seeds in the ground. This is the part where I'm going to take notes.

I made this...so easy. First round blanket I ever made. I love it.. Thanks for a great pattern..
So nice to see an old pattern repurposed!
This was the first doily I ever made and the second project I made when learning to crochet. I used 'wash cloth cotton' thread and made it as a table cloth years later.
Of course, many moves later, I had lost the pattern. Soooo glad to have it again!
It is easy and recommend it for beginners. Best Wishes!
I made this Baby Blanket and had sooo much fun!
I made this pattern for my cousin's daughter.
I even crocheted it in the same color scheme shown. Which I hardly ever do. The only thing I did a little different was for the edging. I used a nursery multi-colored brushed acrylic yarn.

For two years, Lauderhill Middle School teacher Kristen Sullivan carried on a sexual relationship with a teenage boy from her classroom — a crime that sent her to prison. Now, in a federal lawsuit filed this week, the teen's family says the Broward school district should've stopped it.
The teen's mother alleges that Lauderhill Middle's assistant principal and principal encountered numerous "red flags" that suggested Sullivan had crossed a line with the 13-year-old eighth-grader. Those warning signs, the suit says, included Sullivan and the boy exiting a "discreet back office together, alone, on a daily basis, to the point that it would have been obvious to any reasonable person that the two were in an intimate and sexually inappropriate relationship."
Police arrested Sullivan in April 2010, and she is serving a three-year prison sentence for aggravated child abuse. The relationship was discovered after the boy had moved on to high school and found a new girlfriend, who saw incriminating text messages from Sullivan on the boy's cellphone.
"I'm tired of being the one chasing you," one of those text messages read, according to her arrest affidavit.
School district officials declined to comment on the lawsuit. The family's attorney, Jeff Herman, specializes in suing on behalf of sex-abuse victims.
The boy, now 17, spoke to reporters Thursday afternoon, and said he has struggled to trust girlfriends — or anyone — since the abuse occurred. Sullivan's arrest strained his relationship with his mother, the boy said, because at first he felt "betrayed" that she had called police and got his teacher arrested. At the time, the boy said he thought he was in a loving, legitimate relationship.
Eventually, the boy said he realized the sexual encounters were wrong, but he said some of his friends turned against him, and sympathized more with Sullivan. Because of his gender, the boy said, he's treated differently than a female victim.
"They don't understand the toll it can take on you," he said. "I lost sleep. I lost friends."
The teen previously told police that he and his teacher had sex more than 100 times, including twice in a computer storeroom at school. Prosecutors showed leniency with Sullivan (she will not have to register as a sex offender, for example) because the police investigation determined the boy was the pursuer.
The boy's mother Thursday said she's unsatisfied with Sullivan's three-year sentence.
"They said that he was the aggressor, a 13-year-old is an aggressor," the mother said. "But then turn the tables with a little girl, would she be the aggressor?"

Memory and eyewitness testimony24 09 2011
In class Thursday, we discussed memory and social judgment, which led to a discussion of eyewitness testimony in court trials. The blog LiveScience covers some issues around reliability of memory, particularly in the context of eyewitness testimony. Have a look at it here.
Last night's execution of convicted murderer Troy Davis reportedly sent those convinced of Davis' innocence into hysterics. One of their concerns — that eyewitness testimony in the case had been recanted — also concerns cognitive scientists.
"This is not the first time a person is pretty much convicted based on eyewitness testimony and circumstantial evidence," said Jason Chan, assistant professor of psychology at Iowa State University, adding that the number of eyewitnesses who later recanted their testimony was "relatively unusual."

Barry Bonds overshadowed the rest of the Giants for much of his 15 years with the team. More than three years after his last swing, he's still at it—even though he surely wishes he wasn't in this case.
The start of the season is supposed to be an occasion the Giants and their fans savor—the first time in San Francisco history that the team takes the field as the defending World Series champion. Throughout the Giants' season-opening four-game series in Los Angeles, the good vibes of the team's stunning postseason run last fall are sure to come flashing back—and they won't soon go away with the home opener and championship ring ceremony just over a week away.
But even as the franchise kicks off the latest chapter of its extended celebration, Bonds is in many ways upstaging the whole thing.
The former slugger's trial for perjury and obstruction of justice has dominated headlines for the past two weeks —and it's still only in the prosecution's phase. Moreover, the trial has put the focus squarely on the sordid underbelly of baseball and particularly of Bonds' later years with the Giants.
Current and former players have testified about the game's steroid culture and how easy it was to obtain performance enhancing drugs. Kimberly Bell, Bonds' former mistress, brought to light several unpleasant revelations – including intimate details of their relationship and the culture of ballplayers' womanizing on the road.
After waiting 56 years for a championship, Giants fans should be able to welcome in the new season by enjoying the team's perch atop the baseball world without such complications. The franchise's peak accomplishment in over a half century is being celebrated at the exact time its nadir—as the center of the steroids era—is being scrutinized in federal court.
Memories of the rotation's storied postseason showing and thoughts of whether Lincecum, Cain & Co. can match those feats are interrupted by word of Jason Giambi's testimony about how he easily obtained the "cream" and the "clear" from Greg Anderson, Bonds' former personal trainer and a regular presence in the Giants' clubhouse in the early 2000's.
As Giants fans pinch themselves at the thought of the first full seasons from Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner—and turn an excited eye toward the initial games of first baseman Brandon Belt, another heralded youngster—along comes news that former Giants outfielder Marvin Benard brought back veterinary steroids he had used in winter ball in Mexico and that he later switched to Human Growth Hormone (HGH) at Anderson's suggestion.
During the ESPN telecast of the Giants' opener in Los Angeles on Thursday night, the news crawl at the bottom of the screen made endless references to the trial—including testimony from Kathy Hoskins, Bonds' former personal shopper, that she saw Anderson inject Bonds with an unknown substance in 2002.
Just when all seems so bright in the Giants' universe, we have daily reminders of the tainted Bonds era splashed all over the media.
Say it ain't so.
