The three round burst is a setting on a rifle that causes the rifle to expel three bullets with one squeeze of the trigger. It mixes the stopping power of an automatic gun with the accuracy of a semi-automatic.
Running at 60 frames per second is standard for PC games, but the hardware restrictions of consoles often force developers to aim for lower framerates in order to preserve visual detail or allow for greater scale. Thus, console games that do hit the 60 FPS mark are somewhat unusual.

Comments about Studiologic NUMA NANO - 88-Key Hammer Action Keyboard:
I wrote the review listed above. I have had this keyboard for about 3 months now and would like to revise what I had previously written.
Earlier this week, the keyboard stopped working. The LED screen lights up but there are no longer any words or numbers visible on the screen. When pressing most keys, no sounds are triggered. The few keys that trigger sounds end up triggering what seems to be random combinations of notes. One key will play three unrelated notes!
Musician's Friend said that the timeframe for a return was up so I'm hoping that the Studiologic warrenty service covers this!
Please keep this development in mind if you have read my other review.
Comments about Studiologic NUMA NANO - 88-Key Hammer Action Keyboard:
I've had this controller for about 2 weeks now. I like it so far. The keyboard action is really nice. The overall quality is solid. Lightweight but sturdy. Can't update the firmware on the pc. Studiologic's support hasn't got back to me yet. So far I like this keyboard much more than my studiologic SL-990 Pro. It is easy to play softly and evenly. The custom creation of velocity curves using the "you play" feature is very useful.

Feb 9, 2014
Feb 8, 2014
Feb 6, 2014The intense and unique atmosphere brought by the dark metro seen like never before along with a great written storyline and apocalyptic landscapes of the ruin of Moscow makes of this game a truly masterpiece.Graphically this game looks amazing.Also sounds can be very creepy at some points.Metro Last Light and 2033 are not just two simple FPS games, they are pieces of art.

Jan 13, 2014Great game. I liked Metro 2033 more, but this one is also good.
+graphics,gameplay, atmosphere, story
-too many cutscenes
Next Metro game need more open world/sandbox exploring of the ruins of Moscow. -

Jan 3, 2014Great atmosphere and awesome storyline. The shooting mechanics have improved greatly from 2033 although there are some parts where you'll find yourself completely out of ammo. You'll be forced to melee in stupid scenarios but that's the only issue I had with this game. Not worth removing a point because the overall game was outstanding.

Dec 22, 2013Good game but all darkness and cinematics are boring.. lighter is useless.. darkness is too bad..i cannot find a way because of darkness..............
Dec 15, 2013
Dec 11, 2013
Dec 8, 2013
Dec 8, 2013Really cool setting and interesting characters. The gameplay is really fun and shooting is an absolute pleasure, great graphics and soundwork all around. One of my top 5 games of the year
Dec 7, 2013Amazing graphics, atmosphere, sound, and storyline. Some of the best I've ever experienced for that matter. If the game were less linear, and the AI a bit smarter, I would have given it a 10.
Dec 7, 2013This is an awesome story-driven shooter. The story is compelling, and the game play unique. If you're looking for a game that will give you a good story and some FPS action, this is definitely the game to buy. After playing it, It is now one of my favorite games. I would most certainly recommend buying it.
Nov 21, 2013
Nov 17, 2013Very good story and combat is fantastic, but some parts of the game are unnecessarily hard, and ammo unreasonably scarce
Needs a few improvements, but still quite a good game -
Nov 16, 2013Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Great game, graphics, story, everything. I can find no fault in this game at all.
You should defo try this game. Also Metro 2033 is also brilliant and you should really try that one first just to lay the grounding. Unless you've read the book that it. But 2033 is well worth a play. -
Nov 13, 2013
Nov 13, 2013THE BEST FPS GAME OF 2013. This game finally changed the landscape of FPS games... Every graphic, every sound, every gameplay, and the story are well-crafted to become unique...
Nov 11, 2013
Nov 11, 2013
Nov 7, 2013Just buy and play this game, definetely a good game. I would rate it 95 even if the quality is not high end as Bioshock Infinite or Games like that. It managed to create an awesome atmosphere and gameplay. I had a lot of fun with this one.
Nov 6, 2013
Nov 6, 2013I gave the game 9 and that's only because i never give 10, but this game just get it and you are on for a ride that you'll never forget, ever, true art on all levels
Nov 5, 2013
Nov 5, 2013The gameplay and graphics are good but not special. The great thing about it is the story which is immersing and intense. The atmosphere is dark and pure terror. This alone makes the game worth buying.
Nov 4, 2013This is the most beautiful and immersive first person campaign I've played in years. Plug in a controller, sit back in the couch and enjoy this game on a large TV. Highly recommended!
Oct 29, 2013
Oct 28, 2013Pretty sure the positive reviews are fakes. Or else I'm completely lost. Just ignore the +s review. Story is terrible. Characters are terrible. Gameplay is terrible. Environment atmosphere is decent.
Game-play shooting at blob-things until they fall over. Unbelievably bad boss fights. Unbelievably bad last fight. Best part about this game is the cover art. -
Oct 28, 2013
Oct 27, 2013
Oct 26, 2013This is one of my favorite 2013 games.
PROS: Amazing graphics, varied environments, good story and spectacular atmosphere. It actually makes you feel that you live the life of a metro citizen.
CONS: Some AI issues and stealth problems
This is a must own game -
Oct 25, 2013Okay I'm gonna level with you guys I was holding tight to my controller because its so scary really I have never seen a game this immersive and after the disappointing review from IGN I wasn't expecting much well I was wrong and for the second game by a Ukrainian developer I hope metro becomes a full fledged series.
Oct 22, 2013Definitely a must have!!The story is great graphisms are awesome I want more!!!!!
A long time I wait for a game like this one I hadn't take so much pleasure from Half Life 2!!! -
Oct 22, 2013
Oct 15, 2013
Oct 12, 2013I finished this in a week. It is the best looking PC game I have and I didn't mind that it railroaded me everywhere. I played through on Ranger mode because that is the way it is meant to be played and it really is a great experience, so far my favourite game for 2013.
Oct 11, 2013
Oct 9, 2013
Oct 7, 2013
Oct 2, 2013Too bad a good game was ruined by the lack of ammo and filters.Sorry metro but I am not that guy who redo the whole chapter after almost completing it ,due to silly things like the lack of ammo and filters.I have completed about 65% of the game,it is about 7/10 until I reached chapters with the problem I described above.This why I deleted it and gave it only 5/10
Oct 1, 2013
Sep 29, 2013
Sep 26, 2013Just when the I thought the graphics of Metro: 2033 was insane; Metro: Last Light does one better. Don't be fooled by the people who complain they can't get 60+ FPS with max settings. The developers have really pushed the graphics to next generation and it shows. The AI is vastly improved (still room for improvement) and the compelling story of the game continues. This game is a must have.
Sep 23, 2013A phenomenal game the vastly improves on many of the flaws from the last game. The graphics are some of the best I've ever seen and the atmosphere is the best post-apocalyptic atmosphere ever. The story is also amazing. An excellent game.

Sep 20, 2013
Sep 18, 2013Great game, great sequel to Metro 2033, although it does not quite live up to it's predecessor, still better then Bioshock Infinite.
If you are into story heavy FPS, get it BUT 1st play Metro 2033 or it will get confusing with references to the past game. -
Sep 17, 2013
Sep 17, 2013A vast improvement over Metro 2033. Runs great, perfect gun play, full controller support, improved gameplay, more realistic facial expressions, and naked boobies. The game is not perfect, but it's damn close.
Sep 16, 2013
Sep 16, 2013
Sep 12, 2013It is a long time since a played a shooter this tight, this beautiful, this deep, this engaging, this immersive and this atmospheric. If you like playing games get it now, if you like shooters get it yesterday.
Sep 11, 2013
Sep 10, 2013YOU MUST GET THIS GAME.IT IS A MUST. For the year of 2013 it is by far the BEST GOOD-LOOKING,STORY TELLING, POST-APOCALYPTIC GAME. YOU MUUST GET IT. You will not regret your decision~
Sep 10, 2013"4A Games and Deep Silver has pushed the boundaries of a modern survival horror shooter. Highly detailed story telling and engine that pushes most advanced GPUs to its limits, highly recommended to those who wish to seek an adventure through the claustrophobic and dramatic tunnels of Metro." -the-epikninja
Sep 8, 2013a few minor dislikes: hit detection is distracting and should be an option, very linear and almost on the rails, enemies are blind and death, paying for difficulty levels wtf. but i have given a 8 as it could of been amazing. imagine stalker with these graphics.
Sep 8, 2013
Sep 4, 2013
Sep 3, 2013Metro Last light is atmospheric, dark and keeps you in suspense. It's also a improvement from Metro 2033 which was unpolished and sometimes frustrating. Practically every aspect is an improvement from it's predecessor.
The AI is smarter and stealth isn't as frustrating (melee kills are quiet, same for silenced weapons). -
Aug 28, 2013
Aug 27, 2013Pretty awesome game for the gameplay but the story elements will leave you feeling disappointed. If you aren't a story guy but you enjoy a good shooter, then this is definitely a good pickup for you.
Aug 27, 2013
Aug 26, 2013
Aug 26, 2013
Aug 24, 2013After finishing 2033 I new I had to get Last Light and I did it was the most amazing story ever I spent my whole day playing it almost cried at the end.
Aug 23, 2013
Aug 22, 2013Great game, one of the few times I think I actually like a sequel better than the original. Even some of the DLC has some good play time to it, and they kept Ranger mode in.
Aug 20, 2013
Aug 17, 2013
Aug 16, 2013The game is technically as close to perfection as Stalker was. But the russophobic details that go through the entire game are just killing all the fun. Bad example set.
Aug 15, 2013
Aug 14, 2013Absolutely Stunning, Story was awsome,hidden good endig achieved and the graphic and gameplay. I have no words to describe how awsome is this game but i'll remember it for very long time. Best game of 2013 (i was thinking about Bishock Infinite but this game is more atmospheric and mature)
Aug 13, 2013
Aug 12, 2013I have to say, i was in tears when i finished the Single Player campaign. Graphics? Superb. Gameplay? Addicting. Atmosphere? Survival-horror in the best of the genre, breathtaking. But the storyline brings you to somewhere that you keep feeling, after playing, that if they release the sequel just two or three months later Metro Last Light, it would still be perfect! Masterpiece.
Aug 11, 2013Don't play it. It's a waste of time. It's more like an emulator, sandbox, an interactive movie or something like that. But definitively it's not a good game. Despite of the good story of the first one, Metro Last Light just plain sucks.
Aug 9, 2013Overrated piece of I'm not going to explain why, this game doesn't deserve it. It's just like CoD. Don't play it. I know what i'm talking about, guys. This game is OVERRATED. If you want an epic experience, play Bioshock Infinite.
Aug 6, 2013Awesome. The gameplay is fun, The visuals are amazing and beautiful, The story is pretty good. However the English voice cringe worthy and I recommend Playing it in Russian. Also the immersion is amazing, It sucks you into the game. Definitely worth buying.
Aug 5, 2013Great atmosphere and good story. Story is linear but better than most movies in the cinema nowadays.
Time to play is relatively short, did it in 25 hours. So I can fully recommend this game but you have to decide if the short time to play is worth the current price. -
Aug 4, 2013Besides some "western" touches, 4A Games delivers a very special and almost flawless game which proves that Eastern European development scene is here to stay.
Aug 4, 2013-1 point for console port interface (and controls) on pc.
-2 points for unskippable intro (and ad) that is extra long: do these people know I paid $50 for this?
Apart from that it's fine but nothing special. Not even new weapons compared to 2033. -
Jul 18, 2013
Sep 10, 2013Metro Last Light improves on several of the originals shortcomings but also has a few of its own. Mainly the artificial intelligence needs lots of work otherwise Metro Last Light with its hybrid of quality action and engaging storytelling would maybe have been one of the best games of the year.
Jul 9, 2013I do not recommend this to arachnophobiacs and story-lovers. Nonetheless, the game's atmosphere is so thick you are going to be just blown away. Furthermore, the game has outstanding battles. [Issue#231]
Jun 23, 2013A mostly triumphant return to form for this unique series. [July 2013, p.86]

50 Cent & Eminem Discuss "My Life" Song & Video
50 Cent and Eminem speak on their latest cut together.
Earlier today (November 26), 50 Cent and Eminem released their newest collaboration, "My Life," set to be 50's latest single. The duo has already shot a video for the cut.
"The video is kind of abstract; it's kind of metaphoric in a sense, like the paranoia of feeling like we're being chased," said Em on the set of the video shoot to MTV News. "Whether it's true or not, it's kind of how we feel. It's kind of a metaphor for us running for our lives. Personal lives and from fame, everything that goes with the game."
50 spoke on Street King Immortal, the album on which the cut is featured. "The album itself is more personal than the albums in the past Now this record, it's allowed us to do different things creatively. I've been able to come out a few times, more than usual to come to Detroit and work with Em for this record."

BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- A mother and son from Pennsylvania have been sentenced for a $14 million fraud in Broome County.
Laura Conarton, 47, and Scott Lonzinski, 32, will spend the next five years in prison for committing an elaborate fraud scheme. They admitted to getting ten loans from the Broome County Teacher's Federal Credit Union, totaling more than $14 million. As part of the scheme, they created multiple phony documents, made false statements and created a fake name. Conarton and Lonzinski were also sentenced to five years supervised release, and they'll have to pay back the $14 million.

Filler-capper grows savings
In late 1997 the company replaced the old filler with two machines it built in-house. "We reduced the need for two positions with these machines which could each produce as many as 4 gallons on one daily shift with seven or eight people" says Connell. He notes that the two machines were rarely used together. "We would typically run different products on each machine or different container sizes."
Although those machines did provide Micro Flo with some versatility the company wanted to further reduce its labor costs and increase output. Eventually it found a solution through a sales representative who had sold the two-head filler but later joined PACK'R. He recommended the E Series filler to Micro Flo.
"The uniqueness of this machine is that it gives us the fill accuracy of a net-weight rotary filler with the speed of an in-line filler" says Connell. "That's what drove us to this machine after we had searched high and low. Speed is a key concern for us. We measure our output based on how many gallons we produce in a daily shift and we needed to improve our line speeds. This machine will produce between 7 and 14 gallons per day depending on container size" says Connell.
He says the company's typical output is 7 gal/day after factoring in employee lunches breaks and start-up and shutdown times. "Best yet we can do it with five or six people" Connell notes. One operator is needed to load containers; another at the filler; one to replenish caps cases and labels; and two to palletize downstream of the PACK'R machine.
Compared to its earlier filling process Connell says the company is saving 10 labor hours per year. (That averages out to five people working about 40 hours per week 52 weeks per year). At $15 per hour that creates $154 in annual savings.
How it works
The extrusion blow-molded containers are supplied by Lee Container Corp. (Homerville GA). After molding containers are treated inside and out with fluorine gas that allows the HDPE to accept solvent-based chemicals. Lee ships the F-style containers to Micro Flo packed in corrugated reshipper boxes.
At Sparks a worker removes the containers from boxes and places them onto an infeed table with their handles facing the filler-capper which is located about 12' downstream. The infeed table uses conveyors that carry the containers in lanes toward the discharge side of the approximately 10'-long table. Six of the 1-gal containers fit across the width of the table. When the six containers—one from each lane—reach the discharge end suction cups grab them and transfer them onto a conveyor running perpendicular to the table.
The containers are conveyed to the machine's filling carousel. "The filler-capper looks like a rotary machine but it is not" explains Connell. "The containers go into the machine which uses grippers to index the containers into and through 10 stations in intermittent motion." The grippers include three primary tooling "pieces" two of which contain the bottle from one side and a third from the other side of the bottle.
Containers enter the carousel at the first station and the container weight is "tared" at the second with filling done at stations two through six. "It's a volumetric fill for a certain number of seconds" Connell says. "By incrementally filling each container it's faster than filling it all at once" he contends. The seventh station is equipped with a 15-kg electronic scale connected to a dosing indicator that tops off the fill. With a weighing range of 3 divisions of 5 g the scale provides greater fill accuracy than did Micro Flo's previous equipment.
Connell says the company didn't track giveaway by grams with its previous equipment so it's difficult to determine savings attributable to reduced giveaway on the new filler-capper. However with products ranging in retail price from $4 to $80 per gallon it's understandable that reduced giveaway benefits Micro Flo.
The Series E machine uses a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 operating system with a combination of load cells and timers controlled by a software program that optimizes machine throughput by adjusting the fill time for each station based on the weight at the final fill station.
The PACK'R machine also includes a stainless- steel 316-L tank with a product infeed valve and level control plus a clean-in-place system that Connell says "helps us with changeovers that increase our efficiency."
Although Micro Flo tries to run the same product for as long as it can to maximize efficiency it does consider changeover speed an important factor. "We do a lot of changeovers" Connell says. "A complete line changeover takes up to eight hours requiring tools. But most of that time is for our downstream case erector and packer. The filler-capper maybe takes an hour and we can do it without tools."
Capping is done at the next station. Lee Container also supplies caps with liners for its 63-mm containers though they're injection-molded of polypropylene by Rieke (Auburn IN). Caps are filled into a hopper. An incline conveyor carries caps up to a sorter that orients them so that as they move down a chute they're in proper position to be applied to the filled bottle. The capping mechanism is servo-driven for torque control. A "cap pallet" takes the cap from the end of the chute and places it in a position above the filled container. In a second step a cap chuck mechanism descends to the container and torques the cap onto the bottle.
The capped container is discharged from the last station on the carousel conveying several feet past an Auto-Mate® induction sealer from Kaps-All Packaging Systems (Riverhead NY). "We do this to meet certain EPA regulations and to help prevent leaking" says Connell. Two workers are positioned just beyond the induction sealer to manually check for leaks. That's done by tipping and squeezing the containers while visually inspecting them. These workers also retorque caps onto the containers.
Next containers pass an ink-jet coder from Videojet Technologies (Wood Dale IL). That unit applies a Julian date code near the base of the bottle. Immediately afterwards each container passes one of two identical CTM 360 Series pressure-sensitive label applicators from CTM Integration (Salem OH). Micro Flo sourced the label applicators from distributor Fred H. Williams Co. (Hiram GA).
"We use two labelers so that when the roll on one machine runs out we can switch over to the other machine replace the rollstock on the first machine and never miss a beat" says Connell. Each unit applies an approximately 6"x6" label.
Labeled containers are conveyed downstream to an older case packer. Cases are automatically taped top and bottom then palletized by hand automatically stretch wrapped with pallets placed into a warehouse before distribution by truck. Product shelf life ranges from one to two years depending on the specific chemical.
At the time of Packaging World's visit Micro Flo had purchased a leak detector from PACK'R that it expected to install later that month. "It will work on a pressure-and-time basis" says Connell "and will use a cylinder with a strain gauge that temporarily stops the container on the line and applies pressure for a matter of milliseconds. A loss of pressure beyond our target parameters would indicate a leak." He says the detector will do the job faster and more accurately than the current manual method. It will also reduce labor costs. "It will eliminate the need for two people who will be transferred to other areas in the plant."
At present both Connell and Moody say that the new filler-capper has made a significant difference in the packaging process at Micro Flo. "We've been very satisfied with the equipment" says Connell. "We've also built a good relationship with the supplier. At the outset we told them we needed to produce 7 one-gallon containers during a daily shift. When you add in breaks lunches start-up and all that comes to about 20 containers a minute.
"On our older manual filler we did five to seven containers a minute" Connell continues. "Then we did around 10 a minute on the equipment we built in-house and now use for our lower-volume products. So the new machine makes a big difference. We're able to get out more gallons per shift with fewer labor hours and with greater accuracy. It's justified our investment and we expect payback on the equipment in two years. That's important because formulating and packaging is our business. We often use an expression around here that goes 'We say what we do and do what we say'" he states. "And the PACK'R machine is living up to its billing."

No uncertainties there with the MT.
Of course during spirited driving on the track the DCT shifts are machine fast but also suppress one dimension of driving involving the tactile joy of pulling and pushing gears in and out
. There now is an aftermarket software available to tune the DCT behavior slightly differently. Anyone who knows basic algebra knows that if you start with two independent variables and you reduce that to only one then you have given up one degree of control. It does not matter how faster or more precise than you that computer is, the fact is you are now controlling only 1 dimension instead of 2 dimensions. No matter how you look at it, it is a loss of 1 dimension of control. Sure, you can program different curves for the lost variable that suit different driving style/situations but you are one degree closer to being on a parc attraction ride where you just sit and do nothing. Of course this has already started with self-driving cars.
Good points.

According to several sources (including MLB's), the Cubs have signed RHP Scott Baker to a one year contract. More information to come.
Hmm, a one-year-deal?
I'd be surprised if the Cubs' offer was significantly more than the Twins were willing to give Baker. Sounds like Scott didn't want to come back as much as we thought.
Well at least we won't have to worry about how the gamble on baker's recovery turns out.
But wait. I thought the Twins had already signed him to a three-year deal?
I'll be interested to see how much guaranteed money the got. I always liked Baker, but don't see him contributing until the second half of the season. I wonder how many real offers he received? If you are looking for a chance to prove yourself on a one year deal, I don't think I would pick the Cubs.
Let the feverish re-writing of all the variations of "3 (4?) Easy Steps to 2013 Twins Rotation Bliss" posts begin.
$5.5M for one-year, plus incentives for a guy who had TJ in April? And no option year?
You're welcome to him Theo. Congrats to Scotty's agent. (My guess is you'll be hearing from Colby Lewis shortly.)
Well, this is a little disappointing. I hope he does well with the Cubs. There are plenty of other pitching options available, so no harm. I think the Twins should offer a similar deal to Rich Harden. But, you know of course for less money and more "incentives"!
Obviously this hurts.
Hopefully Ryan signs two legit FA SP and trade for another.
Commence "but, but, but its only November...relax!" posts in 3...2...1
I don't think this is going to be the conventional thing we'll see. One has to think the Cubs overpaid quite a bit to pry him away from the Twins, seeing as how much he liked it here. I really don't mind losing him. He's a huge question mark after TJ and the Twins are not in a position to gamble rotation wise.
Damn!...I was hoping he might come back with the Twins, even though he was returning from Tommy John. I agree with the Twins that $5.5 million was too much.
I haven't seen anything that has said an option year. Plus, I don't see what that is so hard to accept as what is a normal deal in the MLB. Revenues have gone up and the cost of acquiring FA talent has gone up.Quote:
$5.5M for one-year, plus incentives for a guy who had TJ in April? And now option year?
You're welcome to him Theo. Congrats to Scotty's agent.
Roy Oswalt -- who was DOA in 2011 -- received a $5M contract with $1M in incentives to pitch from May onward of last year. Baker has a much higher upside if healthy and will likely be full strength by May or June. Not a bad deal for either side.
that acquiring pitching is going to be expensive, one way or another, should not be surprising to anyone.
Either pay the going rate, or accept that The Dedunos of the world will form a large part of the foreseeable rotation. Wishing it were not so isn't a strategy likely to work.
Hey, relax. It's only November.
There you go, Chief.
I mistyped. I meant "no option year."
The market for Baker was set by the deal Colby Lewis took a few months ago. Lewis has had better years than Baker, is coming off a smaller injury and is more likely to be 100% when teh season starts. And he took a $2M + $4M in incentive. Baker got nearly that much guaranteed.

- Part 1: Building Planter Boxes
- Part 2: The Dominy Workshop at Winterthur Garden
- Part 3: Locksmithing at the North Bennet Street School
- At Boston's North Bennet Street School, Bob visits the locksmithing classroom. The school's program is structured around both classroom work and apprenticeships, with students in class in the morning and working during the afternoons. Instructor Dave Troiano gives Bob a quick overview of the different skills the students learn, such as the control of computer-operated key cutters and creating master key systems.
- Part 4: Door Lock Installation
This project focuses on the construction of a Colonial-style home built with both history and the future in mind. While the 4-bedroom, 4-bath home will have a traditional exterior and interior detailing, the plan will suit the needs of a modern family, including easy-maintenance fireplaces, a great room, master suite, sun room, 3-car garage, and a large walk-out basement with plenty of room for recreation and indoor/outdoor living.
Also from Modern Colonial
Episode 3 - Shingles and Windows
The roof structure begins to take shape in this episode, which focuses on the asphalt shingle installation. The crew takes us through the steps of the shingling process, from the flashing and underlayment, to the precise layout of each course.

 On the ground, Ryley and framing contractor Kevin Parquette are installing windows. Also, Bob explores the home designs of the firm of noted 20th-century architect Royal Barry Wills, an avid proponent of preserving historical accuracy and proportion in designing elegant, sensible houses for modern living. -

New Buick LaCrosse makes hybrid standard
Luxury car makers usually insist that you need massive amounts of V-8 horsepower to motivate your leather and wood trimmed executive sedan. Some drivers may crave that kind of power, but many are content to cruise at the speed limit while considering whether pork bellies would be a good investment.
Buick built its new LaCrosse for that second class of driver. Its four-cylinder engine may seem meager, but at 2.4 liters and using direct injection, it gives the full-size sedan reasonable power. Buick enhances that power with a small electric motor, not powerful enough to drive the wheels on … Read more

Judith RexApril 28, 2009 Testimony of Judith A. Rex Before the United States Senate Judiciary Committee "The Victims of Crime Act: 25 Years of Protecting and Supporting Victims" Tuesday, April 28, 2009
The passage of the Victims of Crime Act in 1984 has had a tremendous impact on how crime victim services have evolved and expanded in this country -- and certainly in Vermont. When the Victims of Crime Act passed, then Governor Kunin earmarked the funding to establish rape crisis programs in every county in Vermont. As a result of the VOCA funding, Vermont was able to establish ten additional programs, ensuring that every victim of sexual assault in Vermont could access a 24-hour hotline and advocacy services. In 1986, it was the Victims of Crime Act funding that helped Vermont established its Victim Assistance Program. These prosecutor-based Victim Advocates ensured that crime victims received information, notification of court hearings, and a variety of support services throughout the criminal justice process. This program has played a critical role in ensuring that Vermont's crime victims receive restitution for their crime-related losses, and, even more importantly, in empowering crime victims to address the court at sentencing to share the impact of the crime on their lives. In 1990, Vermont finally established its Victims Compensation Program, and it was the federal VOCA match that convinced the Vermont legislature to fund this initiative. In 2000, when there was an increase to the VOCA cap, Vermont was able to establish a Victim Services Program within the Department of Corrections that is now fully funded with state funds. These advocates provide an array of services to crime victims to help prepare them for an offender's release from incarceration. Services for underserved populations were also established at this time. One example is our Deaf Victim Advocacy program, comprised of three Deaf victim advocates who provide education and advocacy services to the Deaf and hard of hearing communities throughout Vermont. The most recent impact of VOCA was the inclusion of $100 million for crime victims in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In January, I was faced with making cuts of up to 20% to victim services programs in Vermont due to declining state revenues. The impact of these cuts would have been significant for the small domestic violence programs, child advocacy centers, and supervised visitation programs operating in the most rural areas of Vermont. Some of these programs would have closed. But, as a result of the Recovery Act funding, I was able to level-fund all direct service programs serving crime victims in the 2010 state budget. This infusion of funding could not have happened at a more critical time, since we know that crime rates often increase during hard economic times. Despite all of these accomplishments, there is still much more to be done. In 2003, the Center for Crime Victim Services engaged in a lengthy strategic planning process. A number of gaps in services were identified, including the need for victim advocates in police departments, specialized services for people with disabilities who are victimized, and services for the elderly, a growing population that is particularly vulnerable to financial fraud and exploitation. However, because Vermont has not seen any significant increase in our VOCA allocation for the past eight years, little has been accomplished in these areas. In fact, in some years we have seen our allocation reduced, even though the number of crime victims needing services continues to grow. I know that other states are also struggling with this same dilemma. I would urge this Committee to consider raising the VOCA cap to $705 million in the 2010 budget, so that we can begin to address some of these gaps in services. One important lesson we have learned over the last 25 years is that the sooner we are able to respond to a crime victim's trauma with supports and services, the sooner they are able to recover. As a society, we cannot afford to delay services to crime victims. The cost is too great. In closing, I want to thank the Judiciary Committee, and especially Chairman Leahy, for all of the support you have given the victim service community over the last 25 years. I look forward to another 25 years of progress. |

Capable of connecting seamlessly to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch from anywhere, the Withings Smart Baby Monitor is the most advanced and one of the most expensive monitors out there. Reviews say you get what you pay for. The Withings gets the fewest complaints about connectivity, image lag time or software glitches of any monitor in this report. Plus, it is loaded with extras.
The best connectivity reports we've seen. The Withings Smart Baby Monitor gets relatively few connectivity complaints compared to other monitors that stream and interface with iOS devices via an application. This in part, may be because the Withings offers more ways to connect -- from a home wireless network, from an Ethernet cable, via Bluetooth or via 3G/4G networks. Users and reviewers report that there is little lag time between image capture and stream and say that overall the image quality is solid. Reviewers do say that the night vision is not as bright as it could be.
Five minute setup and hassle free use. Other streaming monitors draw numerous complaints about the difficulty of achieving a secure and consistent connection. By contrast, people who test and use this model say that the monitor pairs quickly with a device via Bluetooth and that the Withings Smart Baby Monitor isn't plagued with software glitches.
Users and reviewers say the Withings interface is intuitive and easy to use. Parents can monitor continuously or run the monitor in the background while other applications/functions are being used. Push notifications and alerts can be set based on noise, movement, and temperature and humidity. Some users wish the camera could pan remotely, and they say that more active babies may crawl out of the view range of the monitor.
The Withings camera has a clamshell design with a stable, flat base, and a slant stand. However, users still say they have to tinker with positioning if they want the monitor above the crib, because the base can interfere with the camera image. The camera also comes with a clip to connect it to the crib rail; however, this is a risky setup. Adventuresome babies will grab for the monitor and could get entangled with the power cord. For safety purposes, keep power cords as far from baby's reach as possible.
Access your baby anywhere. The Withings Smart Baby Monitor allows users to access the monitor from anywhere via 3G/4G networks or by logging in on the Internet. Some users report that Withings charges for this service after a 15 minute limit is reached, but the Withings website states that this feature is unlimited and free of charge. The Withings monitor also allows three users to monitor the baby at the same time, handy for two parents and an additional caregiver.
Unlike other streaming monitors, the Withings does not require a local Wi-Fi channel. Users can take the monitor anywhere and connect to it via Bluetooth, making it a good travel monitor. The Withings also comes with a rechargeable battery for remote use. However battery life is limited to one hour with the video running.
In addition to its monitoring capabilities, the Withings offers nice extras, including a nightlight, a lullaby playback machine and a talk back to the baby intercom that allows users to talk to their baby from anywhere.
Withings responded to pay per view issues. The Withings Smart Baby Monitor carries a one-year warranty. There are no major complaints about Withings customer service, and the company paid attention to users and made monitor access free and unlimited.

What piece of art changed your life? How did it affect you?
Bruce Nauman's neon spiral, 'The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.' This was one of those 'slow release' art experiences that just keeps getting better and better, unfolding over years. Every time I've seen it (in pictures or in my mind) it's meant something profoundly different, even though on its surface it's just kind of a joke. I'm really drawn to things that contain their opposite in some way. This weird neon sculpture is fraught with contradiction, but somehow the transcendent message has trumped all of the traps and pitfalls and half-truths that it hints towards. My optimistic side says this might as well be the artist's goal: anything less seems like aiming low.
Nick Zammuto co-founded The Books, a wildly innovative duo that made four excellent albums by manipulating snippets and loops of field recordings, samples, and audio oddities into electronic collages. After that group disbanded, Zammuto ditched the high concept, put together a band, and began writing regular songs, sort of. The 10 tunes on Zammuto bring the Vocoder-heavy funk, with a dose of smarty-pants arrangements that echo Zammuto's previous band. Zammuto and his new crew play D.C.'s U Street Music Hall Wednesday night.

I really have to respect people who take pride in their websites. I felt the same way for around 7 or 8 years until it started to make decent money, and in return I began to invest more money back into it. Right now I'm spending around $500 a month advertising what used to be a hobby. That really changed my perspective. Unfortunately it's not really a hobby anymore... now it's a business. Yeah the ads look "spammy" to me too, but it doesn't really bother me anymore. I guess I need a new hobby :-)

Why the Movie Industry Is Squeezing You This Summer
PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- Even if you're mad at Steven Spielberg for editing E.T. to swap out guns for walkie-talkies and loathe George Lucas for continually revising the Star Wars films, can we simply agree that these men know how to make and sell blockbuster films -- even if they can't stop futzing with them?
Good, because it's not them who are inevitably going to suck every bit of pleasure out of movies as we know them. It's the industry around them. In their view, it doesn't matter how The Lone Ranger did this past weekend, because Disney (DIS) and all the other studios have wrecked the movie business beyond repair.
At a panel discussion at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts in June, Spielberg noted theatrical movie releases are now competing against new, more personal and more riveting forms of entertainment. Meanwhile, Hollywood just keeps throwing money in the hopes that Mars Needs Moms, John Carter and Rise of the Guardians won't just blow up in their faces.
"There's eventually going to be a big meltdown," Spielberg said. "There's going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen of these mega-budgeted movies go crashing into the ground, and that's going to change the paradigm again."
Lucas chimed in and declared that as studios narrow their focus and gamble more cash on lowest-common-denominator films carried largely by effects, moviegoers will continue to turn away in droves. It's the consequence of that exodus that should have moviegoers nervous, Lucas explains. "You're going to end up with fewer theaters, bigger theaters with a lot of nice things," he said. "Going to the movies will cost 50 bucks or 100 or 150 bucks, like what Broadway costs today, or a football game. It'll be an expensive thing. [The movies] will sit in the theaters for a year, like a Broadway show does." The only thing surprising about that declaration is the dollar amount, and even that's not too far off the mark. In the past 20 years, according to BoxOfficeMojo, the average price of a movie ticket has nearly doubled from $4.14 in 1993 to $7.98 just last year. That's more than $2 ahead of the rate of inflation and only thinly veils the ticket prices of around $20 fans have shelled out for 3-D and IMAX (IMAX) showings in certain markets. The $50 ticket has already arrived, with Viacom (VIA)-owned Paramount charging that much for showings of Brad Pitt zombie film World War Z in Houston, San Diego, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Irvine, Calif. For that price, fans got an early screening of the film, 3-D glasses to keep, a small popcorn and soda, a poster and a reserved copy of the DVD once it is released. Why do they have to sell you this whole package right this minute? Because where movies used to have to charm you or impress you into buying a ticket, they now have to trap you. Now that high-definition televisions have improved the home viewing experience, streaming and on-demand services have nullified the need to leave your home and television and video game producers are creating far more compelling zombie narratives in AMC's (AMCX) The Walking Dead and The Last Of Us on Sony's (SNE) Playstation 3, it's gotten tougher to get you to come out to a zombie movie that bears little to no resemblance to the popular book it's named after.Select the service that is right for you!
