Did the extra damage from shield block value scale with strength and other bonuses before? If not then its a buff.... Also I believe it will consider +% block chance affixes, at least I hope so, which would make the skills for block heavy oriented crusaders, which is fine...

posted a message on Are you sure bonus XP% does not multiply any bonuses from difficulty? I believe they changed it on live servers so the hellfire ring and other bonuses keep their relative effectivness across all difficulties (e.g.: 25% increase in XP gains no matter the difficulty).Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Which makes sense, because it would get useless to even consider XP gear on torment, say level 3 and higher. Have you tested it on beta?
Also Paragon levels will not be as important as it used to be (because of MF removal), so using multiple legendaries to double your paragon leveling would be fine and even fun IMHO. It gives us choice and even more gearing diversity (Do I want to farm legendaries, Death's Breath or farm XP? Or just something fun? -> different sets of items). -
posted a message on The bounty rewards have been nerfed, so streamers are now running only rifts. But take into account that key drop rate is ridiculous on beta (which has been confirmed by blue). If they balance, and im sure they will, it so that bounties would be a needed in order to enter rifts then it'd be completely ok, even if bounties yielded a bit less rewards. It's kinda like Ubers work on live but more awesome. Also having a chance for a key dropped from random mob is cool as long as the chance is really low, because it creates another random hurray effect when you see it dropped randomly and also Diablo is all about randomness.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Now Cursed Chests. We don't have much information about it which is gonna change Soon (tm). What I'd guess and hope for is randomly scattered chests throughout the adventure mode (kinda like resplendent chests) but with a twist (or a curse if you wish so). And here is plenty of room to get creative. Anything that has been related to Nephalem Trials is cool (timed runs, more you kill, more you get etc.) but there could be more, like spawning a portal to a nephalem rift, or spawning goblins or a buff which guarantees a legendary drop if you kill an elite pack within X minutes or raining a ridiculous amount of gold pieces or teleporting you to a boss fight or changing your class (suddenly wizard!) for the rest of the game session, even having chance at negative effects too (instant death perhaps - not on HC thou, or damage debuff for X minutes or many many more). There'd be so much room for creativity. -
posted a message on If your concern is only fastest farming, I'd pick WD fire bats build. Your budget should be enough. Monk is fun too but definitely don't pick DH as he is the most expensive to be competitive.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
posted a message on What I'd like for itemization in RoS is to have legendary tiers (used to be iLvls), where there would be good/ok items that would drop more frequently and super, game changing (or breaking) items that would be far less frequent. Also completing a class set should take a long time, but should be rewarding - I like for example the new monks set -> gain all base auras, which is very good and frees up a skill slot. Thats the way of thinking I like.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I believe it used to be like this in D2 and it think it'd a good thing.
To the OP, there is actually quite a lot legendaries that are good (or have a potential when balanced properly). For example thorns, now it seems lackluster but if it were to scale with primary stat or even crit and what not, it would be worth building a set around it.
I think the problem is not solely itemization but the combat pace and health mechanics. If all that matters is DPS and you basically dont die, then interesting legendaries will never be useful, only those stat sticks. Which is actually being looked at in RoS (a lot of stuff is broken in beta right now, lets see if they can balance it properly).
If you get to a point where you actually need time to kill monsters and they are considerable threat to your hralth pool at the same time then it will promote using tactics and support skills, which makes room for more interesting legendary affixes. -
posted a message on This is still early beta, things will change. I'd rather them to focus on more important things than Ubers first. Keywardens not being included in adventure mode (if that observation is correct) doesn't make sense, so they will be either removed, included in adventure mode or revamped in completely different way.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
posted a message on In the current beta I'm fairly certain keywardens still exist but only in campaign mode. They do drop keys, but they don't have 100% drop chance, even on torment VI. You obviously don't need NV stacks as they dont exist anymore.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
This all from watching one of the streamers (king kongor i believe) and I might be wrong. Didnt stay long enough to see Uber fights nor ring crafting. -
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from DoomSlayers
Excellent idea, having both options - you know exactly where to go but lesser reward or explore and kinda stumble upon it but greater reward. I like it. Make sure Blizzard hears it:) -
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from PiousFlea
I think Bounties need to be changed to encourage players to clear more of the zone. The whole point of bounties is to encourage exploration of zones that you normally wouldn't go to, which could reveal rare dungeons that you wouldn't normally see, which would be awesome. If it's just a "run, claim bounty, leave" then it is much less interesting.
I agree. I think a percentage based counter would suit bounties better. Like clear 70% of the areas' mobs. Kinda like the rifts work. The exact mechanics will get tweaked for sure, having 50 flat kill limit regardless of monster types, area or density looks like a placeholder number to me.
Well, it's too early to say if it is badly implemented, but most of us will agree changes in RoS are for the better (the concept, not beta-state implementation). -
posted a message on What if when you get a legendary to drop, you could decide to trade it or keep it. But when the item is traded it cannot be traded anymore AND it cant get enchanted.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
So items being able to be traded only once is imho a middle ground between BoA and AH. What do you think? - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

A word from The Black Sheep Restaurant At The Kendall Hotel
Situated in the lobby of the historic Kendall Hotel, the Black Sheep Restaurant is dedicated to the building's past as a Victorian firehouse and to fine dining in Cambridge, Mass. The firefighters of Engine 7 considered themselves the "black sheep" of the Cambridge Fire Department, and the Kendall
honors their memory with our restaurant. The menu offers daily selections created by our chef using organic and locally grown produce. Our cozy dining room creates a welcoming atmosphere, with a menu offering both classic and innovative American home-style cooking. Our philosophy is simple: purchase the finest and freshest ingredients and let the food absorb them. We offer a full bar and specialize in a selection of locally brewed beers and selected wines from wineries around the United States.

They were closed and instead of
telling open table they were not taking any reservations, they took mine"
Dined on 3/7/2014
We really enjoy the atmosphere and
decoration at the Black Sheep. Their breakfast buffet inside the hotel is a gem in my opinion, it's very affordable, especially for a buffet! We went to dinner a couple of times at night, because it was the only restaurant open relatively late, and we remember our good experience for breakfast. Unfortunately, the portions were very small, and extremely pricey. Though the food was very good, though."
Dined on 2/26/2014
The Black Sheep is a cute little
hotel restaurant, but isn't a place I'd make special plans to visit. The food was all solid, but nothing outstanding. The menu is limited, but the dishes cover the basics of steak, fish and pasta. We had the calamari starter, which was crispy and tasty. We didn't have desert. The service was pretty slow and not overly friendly."
Dined on 2/20/2014
Another awesome dinner with Marina
as our server. Juicy steak, and tasty Cod."
Dined on 2/20/2014
Enjoyed a romantic night out in
their quiet, half-full dining room on a snowy Saturday evening. Brought home half the $12 goat cheese appetizer, as that plus their bread basket is plenty for two people to start on. We enjoyed both entrees (veggie burger and scallop plate) and they have a good wine selection, but there's room for improvement in their Old Fashioned, which was quite tart (not sure they muddled enough sugar). Overall good experience and would go back again!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
Food, service and atmosphere were
excellent. Not our first, nor will it be our last meal at The Black Sheep!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
Had business meeting for 5 over
lunch. They seated us in nice back room that has two group-sized tables. Place is a former Fire House with all the memorabilia fully in tact. Service was top-notch and food was delectable! Chopped Kale with fresh salmon was superb. Great find. Will be going back."
Dined on 2/11/2014
The service was very slow, but
once the food and drinks came they were very good. If you have time, this could be a good alternative to your usual restaurants."
Dined on 2/7/2014
Had a fine experience on first
visit, went back about a month later. Comfortable seating, warm surroundings. Only about 8 tables. Started with the cheese plate, nice selection accompanied by fresh grapes, crackers, and jam. I opted for scallops, large, perfectly done, expertly seasoned, wild rice on the side. Friend had the rice bowl with blackened salmon, she said it was yummy. Wine selection limited but reasonably priced. Service attentive and pleasant on both occasions. Right next to Kendall T. Highly recommended."
Dined on 2/4/2014
It is quite small, only about 10
tables and it is in the lobby of the hotel. The service was very good and the food was tasty. They were very accommodating with my picky child. We were all very happy at the end of the meal (even the picky eater)."
Dined on 1/29/2014
I'm a regular at Black Sheep. They
have great salads, will customize to your needs/wants, and make you feel at home. It's such a lovely contrast to the chain lunch places without being pompous or over the top like some of the fancier places."
Dined on 1/16/2014
You can request a half salad also,
and they are still enormous. Nice service, full of MIT types."
Dined on 1/21/2014
Second time at this restaurant.
First time - dinner, - looooooong wait for the food Lunch - looooooong wait for the food"
Dined on 1/16/2014
We had a fantastic meal on New
Years Eve and went home full and happy"
Dined on 12/31/2013
I took out of town guests here
because they were staying at the Kendall Hotel, and it definitely left them with a good impression of Cambridge. The service was very good, but there was only one waitress so a busier night might have been a problem. The food was delicious, particularly with their inclusion of wild rice as a side dish, and we very much enjoyed their cocktail menu."
Dined on 12/21/2013
Great location in Kendall Square,
quiet spot for a great night out with good food, attentive service at reasonable prices. Highly recommended."
Dined on 12/20/2013
This place is very vibrant during
lunch hours. It gets busy but they have a good menu and service. During dinner time, it becomes quaint. Dinner dishes are great too and service as usual fantastic. Definitely recommend this place! It's a cute little place in the kendal sq area!"
Dined on 11/22/2013
When prepared correctly, the
steaks at Black Sheep are tasty and succulent. Goat cheese-cake appetizer is also a winner."
Dined on 11/23/2013
This is the second time I've eaten
here. I liked my kale salad last time better than the spinach salad this time. But it was the service that was a turn-off. The waiter tried to take our order as soon as we sat down and when we asked for a minute (stressing, JUST a minute), we had a difficult time luring him back to take our order. In the meantime, they had run out of the soup of the day that he told us about and which we both planned to order. After the meal, we had a tough time getting our check even though it was late and the restaurant was not busy. But it's a cute restaurant in a good convenient location. Nice lunch menu if a bit overpriced. Not overly large lunch salads are $14."
Dined on 11/22/2013
First time at the much vaunted
Black Sheep got off to a shaky start when a couple of G&T's came to our party with a little gin and mainly regular water !! Starters were very nice, but then it went pear shaped when 1 entree was delayed so long that the rest of us ate to avoid stone cold food. The missing entree finally showed up as we were finishing up. The rating was rescued to 2 stars with some complimentary desserts, but it was a little too late to salvage the whole experience up to where it should have been."
Dined on 11/16/2013
I had the kale chop salad with
Cajon salmon but requested salmon to not be cooked Cajon. They accommodated and I enjoyed my salad. The place was very busy, so having reservations made the difference, I think. I'd go back."
Dined on 10/31/2013
A nice neighborhood gem. Quaint.
New England. Good food."
Dined on 10/26/2013
I liked this small neighborhood
setting. I was able to really connect with my friend in a nice quiet setting but without feeling like I was drowning in a romcom. Kudos"
Dined on 10/9/2013
With a lunch menu of salads and
sandwiches, you'd think there would be no surprises. Instead, the delicious house-made chips and the creative salad combinations will have me back. The restaurant was quiet before about 12:30 when the tables were a little more populated; I think people must think of the restaurant as more of a dinner location, but it's totally worth it, even with the price tag."
Dined on 9/30/2013
Consistently excellend "home
cooked" sandwiches and salads with friendly, attentive service."
Dined on 10/1/2013
The Black Sheep offers a cute and
cozy dining experience, complete with delicious food and wine, and decadent desserts. The filet mignon, cooked medium rare, was cooked to perfection and presented with tasty mashed potatoes and veggies. The cabernet went perfectly with the meal, and the dessert, the molten cake w vanilla ice cream, was the perfect finishing touch."
Dined on 9/25/2013
Primary reason I don't give a 5
star rating is that the menu is rather small. Given that I avoid wheat, there were no real choices other than a salad. 4 stars is set as "very good" and that feels right."
Dined on 8/9/2013
I don't go to the Black Sheep very
often, but every time I go, they make me feel like they are happy to see me. The summer salads are fabulous and the outdoor dining is really nice. They can't help the traffic on Main St, but they do what they can to make the outdoor dining feel like an oasis. If you need a break from the more bustly places in Kendall Square, this is it."
Dined on 8/7/2013
Overall we enjoy the Black Sheep.
Our favorite menu items are the Filet Mignon and the Penne pasta... recently we were disappointed to see the Pasta jump 40% in price. Not sure if we will still order it. To avoid sticker shock, it might help if the restaurant would update the prices here on Open Table."
Dined on 7/10/2013
There is a cute outdoor patio and
the inside pays homage to the Kendall's history. The menu had tried and true fare - a filet, salmon, sea bass, etc - nothing particularly unique or modern. The wine list is short, but you would find something you'd like on it. I ordered a filet mignon RARE, but it came out somewhere between medium-rare and medium. The waitress tried to convince me to keep it briefly, but I sent it back and got a filet that was cool in the center (which was what I wanted). It was under-seasoned but the meat was good. The manager/owner(?) and waitress both apologized for the overcooked steak. The mashed potatoes were really good, and I really enjoyed the cheese board. I had a nice time, and the waitress was very attentive."
Dined on 7/30/2013
The Black Sheep has great Soups
and Sandwich's. I have not eaten their dessert but I am sure they are as good as the rest. Their specials are worth it. The place is quite small but they have places out of the way that you would not expect. I have not had a bad meal and when ever I am in town I must at least stop by for lunch."
Dined on 7/19/2013
Very good. The food was very good
and the servers were attentive."
Dined on 7/16/2013
the menu wasn't impressive but the
presentation was. the overall experience was below expectation though the service was very customer focused. a place you go to have an intimate conversation without the expectation to have many choices for your meal."
Dined on 7/11/2013
Temp was 90+ but they had all the
doors open and no AC. Huh? Killed our appetites and made us not want to linger."
Dined on 7/5/2013
Booked the Black Sheep for a
business diner. Staff were very accommodating and were happy for us to change to an outside table. Food was great. Nice, quiet area. Definitely recommended."
Dined on 6/16/2013
My husband & I discovered this
place via Open Table & we are quite delighted that we did as it is not far from our Somerville base. It was a delightful night to sit outside watching Kendall Sq. street life, & our dinner was excellent from start to finish. We recommend the crab cakes, salmon & sea scallops, plus the desserts of tiramisu, & custard w. berries.The wine list is certainly adequate, with helpful samplings if like before ordering, My sangria turned out to be quite large and refreshing. The only disappointment was the ordinary quality of the dipping oil for the bread choices, and that's certainly easily remedied. Its mother Kendall Hotel looks to be quite charming, & restoration of the old Firehouse into the restaurant is splendid!"
Dined on 6/16/2013
The food was great when it finally
came. My reservation was for 5:30 pm, we were seated at 5:45 pm. We didn't get our food until 6:45 pm. I had to run out twice to feed the meter. They were definitely not prepared for the first guests. Much better spot for lunch than for dinner."
Dined on 6/12/2013
I would have said the food was
excellent but for the too-salty Oysters Rockefeller which I did not order but which I tasted. My dinner was excellent as was that of the other three. Only two who shared the O.,R. had the too-salty meal. Black Sheep is terrific and I would recommend it to all my friends."
Dined on 6/12/2013
This was our 6th visit, and the
service lagged greatly. 4 servers, all but Beverly were off the mark. The eatery was not full. Hope it goes better again next time."
Dined on 6/7/2013
Cozy place with attentive service
and locally sourced food. Great hotel too"

If approved, Clements' new contract will take effect on June 30.
Bolt and HEPC spokeswoman Ashley Schumaker said they hope to release the terms of Clements' contract immediately after commission members vote Friday.
"We don't release any documentation until it's acted upon," Schumaker said. "That's what we do with all contracts and compensation."
Theresa Kirk, executive director of the state Ethics Commission, said the commission's Open Meetings Committee has never addressed whether the details of a state employee's contract should be publicly released before members of a governing body vote on it.
The committee, however, addressed a related issue in August 2008, Kirk said.
In that opinion, Ethics Commission members noted that there is no provision in the state Open Meetings Act that controls whether meeting documents other than an agenda must be released to the public. These same "pre-meeting packets" of information are almost always given to members of a governing body before a meeting.
"Generally, this issue is controlled by the State's Freedom of Information law, the agency's enabling legislation and applicable privacy laws," commission members wrote in the opinion.
The opinion notes that the state Attorney General's Office might offer further guidance.
Some public bodies, such as the Kanawha County school board, release many of these "other" documents before a meeting.
Deputy Attorney General Dawn Warfield said Friday she would not issue an opinion to the news media over the phone. Generally, she said, personnel laws are not applicable to the state Freedom of Information Act.
When the HEPC receives a recommendation from a school's board of governors, the commission members have the latitude to make changes to the proposal, Schumaker said, but that does not mean they will.
The ability to make those changes raised a general question from Kirk.
"I think it's interesting," she said, "because if they rejected [a contract], is that draft contract subject to exposure?"

2013 Girls NIT Application |
Tournaments - HS Girls National Invitational |
The 14th Annual Girls' High School National Invitational Tournament (NIT) will be held Saturday-Sunday, May 18-19, 2013, in Racine, Wisc. Organized by the National Girls' Coaches Committee (NGCC), the elite girls' rugby tournament will return to a 24-team field, comprised of three divisions. Opening ceremonies will kick off the event on the morning of Saturday, May 18, to be followed by quarterfinals and semifinals for each of three divisions. The finals for each division will be played Sunday morning and early afternoon. The first girls' NIT was held in 2000 and involved six teams. As a result of increasing competition and the desire for a venue to challenge top high school programs, the event expanded and grew to include 24 top teams in three divisions by 2007. Competitive high school girls' teams wishing to compete must return an application along with a $50 fee no later than Friday, Feb. 1. A non-refundable entry fee of $500 along with a $500 deposit will be required to accept a bid to the NIT. The deposit will be returned upon arrival at the event. Divisions and seeding will be decided the week of the tournament and take into account current records, strength of schedule, and the most recent regional and state playoff competitions.
Inquiries may be directed to members of the NGCC and tournament hosts. We welcome and encourage those teams with aspirations of high-level play to this highly competitive event entering its 14th year. |

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant event that may result in dramatic alterations in an individual's cognition, behavior, and emotions. The neuropsychiatric manifestations of such an injury depend on several factors: 1) preexisting variables such as the patient's personality and temperament before the injury, family psychiatric history, and previous psychiatric, medical, and neurological history; 2) the patient's psychosocial, economic, and vocational status at the time of injury; 3) the type, location, and severity of the brain injury; 4) the emotional and psychological responses of the individual to the TBI-mediated disturbances in cognition and behavior; 5) the impact of such changes on personal and professional roles and relationships, especially those involving the family; and 6) the interplay between TBI-related impairments and community barriers and supports. The multiple variables that result in neurobehavioral disturbances subsequent to TBI require a comprehensive and integrated approach to data collection, diagnostic formulation, and treatment planning.

WORKING WITH STUDS by Atlantic Public Media
May 16th would have been Studs Terkel's 100th Birthday. He died in 2008. As a tribute we'll be airing an hour-long documentary about what it was like to work WITH Mr. Terkel.
For many years, Transom editor Sydney Lewis worked side by side with Studs on his radio show and his books. For this hour, produced in a seamless blend of documentary and reminiscence, Syd brought together a crew of Studs' co-workers who, in turn, brought great stories, along with wonderful previously-unheard tape of Studs himself. We hope you'll enjoy this lovely eulogy to American's greatest listener.
Because this program is a one-hour special, you will not be able to catch the whole thing in our usual archive. However, you can download or stream the entire documentary right here:

Cannabis News
News stories relating to cannabis are found in the articles below.
Court denies marijuana reclassification, but ASA vows to try congressional bill- update;new legislation proposed - audio included
Written by Bob FroehlichUpdate: Feb. 14, 2013
Marijuana related federal legislation was introduced in Congress this Feb. 14 by Representative Earl Blumenauer, a Democrat from Oregon. The proposed bill, HR 689, would provide for the rescheduling of marijuana and for the medical use of marijuana in accordance with the laws of the various States.
Use the player below to hear more on this story, including an interview with 2nd District Congressman from California, Jared Huffman. This piece was aired by KMUD News Coordinator, Christina Aanestad, on the KMUD Local News, Thurs., Feb. 14, 2013
The original post of this story appears below.
On Oct. 16, 2012, the Court of Appeals in Washington DC began hearing oral arguments in the landmark case, Americans for Safe Access v Drug Enforcement Administration. The plaintiffs in this case argued that the DEA acted irrationally in ruling that cannabis belongs in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act and that this scheduling of marijuana has harmed medical marijuana patients physically and financially. On behalf of Americans for Safe Access, Attorney Joseph Elford asked the court to force the DEA to reconsider its classification of cannabis as a dangerous drug without therapeutic benefits, arguing that the agency ignored 200 well-controlled studies which show cannabis has legitimate medical uses. On Tues., Jan. 22, 2013 the court issued its ruling on the case.
Use the player below to hear the outcome of that ruling and an interview with Chris Hermes from Americans for Safe Access.This story was aired by KMUD News Coordinator, Terri Klemetson, on Wed., Jan 23, 2013.
Click here for a pdf copy of the opinion issued Jan. 22, 2013.
According to a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, dated Jan. 18, 2013:
On 01-17-2013 at about 4:15 pm an Agent with the Humboldt County Drug Task Force received a telephone call from a Special Agent with the Iowa State Narcotics Task Force. The Special Agent relayed the following information to the Humboldt County Drug Task Force Agent. On 01-16-2013 at about 2:00 pm an Iowa State Trooper made traffic stop on a vehicle traveling east bound on Interstate Highway 80 near Atlantic, Iowa for a traffic violation.
The State Trooper discovered 100 individual one- pound bags of processed marijuana in the vehicle. Two suspects were arrested from the vehicle. Through their investigation in Iowa Officers learned that the marijuana came from a residence located in the 700 block of Park Avenue, Arcata, California. With the information provided by law enforcement in Iowa a Drug Task Force Agent obtained a search warrant for the residence located on Park Avenue, Arcata.At about 6:30 pm the Humboldt County Drug Task Force assisted by the Arcata Police Department and the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office served a search warrant at the residence on Park Avenue.
Officers detained two subjects at the residence who were identified as Christopher Joseph Luddie age 21 and Patrick Joseph Wall age 21. When Officers searched the residence they located 122 individual one-pound bags of processed marijuana buds in one of the bedrooms. Officers located evidence of a butane hash lab in the residence, along with approximately one pound of hash. Officers also located an indoor marijuana growing room in the garage that had been recently harvested. When Officers searched one of the vehicles that was parked in front of the residence they discovered approximately $160,000 dollars in cash inside of a duffle bag in the trunk of the vehicle. Officers seized the money for possible asset forfeiture.
Wall and Luddie were both arrested for cultivation and possession for sales of marijuana, for manufacturing of a hash lab and for conspiracy to commit a crime. Both subjects were transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility and their bail was set at $500,000 dollars each.
This case is still under investigation by the Humboldt County Drug Task Force and the Iowa State Narcotics Task Force.

Cannabis Science Update:diabetes, pain, psychosis and acceptance of cannabis legalization
Written by Bob FroehlichIn January's Cannabis Science Update: New research shows cannabis reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes; another study examines how cannabis mitigates pain, and a third study suggests the connection between cannabis and psychosis goes both ways. Also, several new polling statistics reveal a growing acceptance of cannabis legalization.
Use the player below to hear the January Edition of Cannabis Science Update.
Cannabis Science Update is a regular feature of the KMUD radio show, Cannabis Consciousness (1:30-3:00pm on the first Sun. of every month), and is written by Kerry Reynolds, read by Harold Day, and recorded by Dave Smith.
According to a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, dated Dec. 10, 2012:
On 12-07-2012 at about 0800 hours, Humboldt County Drug Task Force and the Rio Dell Police assisted the California State Department of Justice/ Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement with a search warrant at a residence located in the 1000 block of Riverside Drive, Rio Dell. Officers detained a subject, who lived at the residence and was identified as Nikolai Kaley Erickson age 37. When officers searched the residence they located 279 individual one pound bags of processed marijuana bud. Additionally another approximately 40 pounds of loose marijuana bud were located in the residence inside of pickle barrels. Officers seized $12,482 dollars in cash from the residence for possible asset forfeiture.
Erickson was arrested for possession of marijuana for sales and was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility in Eureka. Erickson's bail was set at $ 75,000 dollars. At the same time that officers were serving a search warrant at Erickson's residence in Rio Dell, Humboldt County Drug Task Force Agents assisted California State Department of Justice Officers with a search warrant at two parcels located off Bear Creek Road, Dinsmore which are owned by Erickson.
At the property in Dinsmore, officers located evidence of an outdoor marijuana growing operation. Officers detained 9 subjects, who told officers they were hired by Erickson to help manicure the marijuana. Officers seized over 377 pounds of dried marijuana bud from the property. The nine subjects were identified and release from the scene. A street value of the marijuana seized in this investigation is over one million dollars.
This case is still under investigation by the State of California Department of Justice/ Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement.

SC Labs will test entries at upcoming Emerald Cup
Written by Bob FroehlichGrowing marijuana ranges from very light touch, that is from using no additives except natural fertilizers, to the extreme of heavily utilizing commercial fertilizers, growth stimulants and pesticides. As is true for any crop that is consumed, how the plant is grown may have health implications for users. The increased sophistication of the marijuana industry along with moves toward legalization, and thus regulation, has created new practices, including laboratories that test the quality and safety of the product.
On Thurs., Nov. 15, 2012 KMUD News coordinator, Terri Klemetson, aired an interview with Alec Dixon, Director of Sales and Outreach and cofounder of a cannabis testing lab called SC Laboratories - the lab that will test entries to this year's Emerald Cup held at the Mateel Community Center, Dec. 15.

'Perfect Woman' Robot Is Far From Perfect
Remember Aiko, the life-like wheelchair-bound robot woman that slapped you if you tried to touch her boobs? Yeah, that was wrong on every level possible. Well here comes another robot companion for men -- Lisa, the Perfect Woman. She can allegedly cook dinner and I really hope this is fake.
We created a technology called RKS, "Recognition Krax System", which allows for vocal, tactile and visual recognition. Lisa is able to recognize objects and persons and she can even differentiate between roses and tulips for example.
...everything started with a book called Love + Sex with Robots: the Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships by David Levy. I had always thought that one day technology would allow us to create a robot that would be able to perfectly imitate human behaviour. With Lisa we succeeded.
Well I've heard enough. Seriously, sex with robots is just wrong, period. Call me crazy, but what in the hell's the matter with good old fashioned analog sex with an inflatable sheep?
Another MUST MUST SEE video about a guy that allegedly fell in love with one of these, after the jump. Note: They block out his face and make him sound like he sucked down a helium tank so he can't be identified and ridiculed. And no, it's not me, I swear*.
*On the robotic life of my beloved Lisa.
UPDATE: As I had hoped this is strongly believed to be a hoax and an actual real-life woman. But I humped her anyway and she did start smoking out one of her ears. So what conclusion can we draw from this? I clearly have no idea where a woman's vagina is located.

New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Ingram Micro's consumer electronics division (IMCE) hosted its annual Spring Vendor Expo, drawing more than 500 manufacturers and retailers, here.
It featured a keynote address by Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).
The event, held at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, here, from April 30 to May 2, is the 16th annual event and is designed to discuss strategy, build relationships and identify business opportunities.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.
Santa Ana, Calif. — Ingram Micro reported higher worldwide sales but lower net and operating income for the first quarter, ended March 31.
Worldwide sales were $10.26 billion, up 19 percent in U.S. dollars when compared with $8.64 billion in the first quarter last year. The company's 2012 fourth-quarter acquisitions of BrightPoint and Aptec Holdings added $1.1 billion and $75 million, respectively, to 2013 first-quarter revenue, contributing 13 percentage points to the growth.
Santa Ana, Calif. — Global IT distributor Ingram Micro has named Gina Mastantuono finance executive VP.
Formerly international chief financial officer at Revlon, Mastantuono is now responsible for financial planning, analysis, controllership, SEC reporting, treasury and tax for the logistics leader.
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Ingram Micro's consumer electronics division (IMCE) has announced a distribution agreement with Freestyle USA, a manufacturer of high-performance sport watches.
IMCE said in a statement that the deal with Freestyle USA "expands the already successful IMCE watch product line while also giving Freestyle access to the largest consumer electronics distributor customer base in the industry."
Scottsdale, Ariz., - Tom Bamrick has been named executive director and general manager of the Ingram Micro Consumer Electronics Division (IMCE), formerly DBL Distributing, replacing Brent McCarty.
Bamrick most recently was executive director of Global Sales and East Campus, responsible for U.S. domestic revenues and partnership development for Ingram Micro's global partners.
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Ingram Micro's consumer electronics division (IMCE) has announced a domestic distribution relationship with Magellan, a maker of portable handheld GPS receivers.
The Magellan product line offered to IMCE customers will feature popular handheld, waterproof eXplorist Outdoor GPS units, including the eXplorist 110, 310, 510, 610 and 710 models, plus the eXplorist GC geo-caching device and accessories.
Santa Ana, Calif. — Ingram Micro reported higher sales and profits in its third quarter, ended Sept. 30.
The distributor reported worldwide sales of $9.03 billion were up 1 percent in U.S. dollars when compared with $8.90 billion in the third quarter last year. The translation effect of foreign currencies had a negative impact of 5 percent on worldwide sales growth as compared with the prior year.
Operating income grew by 8 percent to $92.6 million year on year. Net income was $53.3 million, up from the prior year's $23.3 million.

It can be tough to make healthy choices when vending machines and fast food abound, but it's possible. Encourage your teen to replace even one bag of chips or order of fries a day with a healthier grab-and-go option from home:
When it comes to portions, size matters. Encourage your teen to scale back, eat slowly, and stop eating when he or she is full — both at home and away from home. It might take just one slice of pizza or half the pasta on the plate to feel full. An occasional indulgence is OK, but even then there's no shame in sharing a meal, ordering a smaller portion or skipping dessert.
The calories in soda, fruit juice, sports drinks and specialty coffees can add up quickly. Drinking water instead of soda and other sugary drinks might spare your teen hundreds of calories a day — or even more. For variety, suggest calorie-free flavored water or seltzer water.
Rather than singling out your teen, adopt healthier habits as a family. After all, eating healthier foods and getting more exercise is good for everyone — and research suggests that family involvement has a significant effect on childhood weight management.
For example:
Being overweight doesn't inevitably lead to a lifetime of low self-esteem. Still, your acceptance is critical. Listen to your teen's concerns. Comment on his or her efforts, skills and accomplishments. Make it clear that your love is unconditional — not dependent on weight loss.
If your teen is struggling with low self-esteem or isn't able to cope with his or her weight in a healthy manner, consider a support group, formal weight-control program or professional counseling. Additional support can give your teen the tools to counter social pressure, cultivate more positive self-esteem, and take control of his or her weight. The benefits will last a lifetime.

Microsoft Surface Pro 2 specs review: better, faster, stronger
At a glance, not a whole lot seems to have changed. Microsoft hasn't altered its design formula, sticking to the edgy profile we remember from the first Surface Pro tablet. But the tablet's first version was build well, and we hope that its successor has followed suit. After all, it sports the same "VaporMg" magnesium casing, known for its durability. The built-in kickstand is definitely a stand-out feature, and on the Microsoft Surface Pro 2, it can be set at two degree levels, depending on whether the tablet is placed on a table, or on the user's lap.
All the necessary ports, knobs, and outputs are positioned on the tablet's left and right sides, the only exception being the power key located on top. Among them is a full-sized USB port, which, thankfully, is USB 3.0 capable. That means all your USB 3.0 external hard drives or USB drives will fly with this thing, reaching higher data transfer rates than what USB 2.0 allows.
Tablets based on Intel Core processors are usually thick and heavy, or at least much thicker and heavier than their Android or iOS counterparts. The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is not an exception, tipping the scales at 2 lbs (907 grams). Its thickness of over half an inch isn't anything to write home about either, but that's the sacrifice one has to make if they are to have a Core chip's power at their disposal.
No surprises here, guys. Microsoft has chosen to go with a 10.6-inch ClearType touchscreen display for the Surface Pro 2. Its resolution hasn't been upgraded, so the pixel count is still set at 1920 by 1080. That results in a decent level of detail and a very clear image as a whole, but we've seen better on competitor's products. On the bright side of things, Microsoft has gone with a screen panel that has 46% better color accuracy, and that's good to hear.
Windows 8.1 comes pre-loaded on the Microsoft Surface Pro 2, as expected. It brings a better on-screen keyboard, new alignment features, allowing one to have two or more windows opened side by side, Internet Explorer 11, UI scaling at up to 200%, and more minor and major improvements. The good old Start button has been brought back, for all who were bothered by its absence.
Skype will be one of the apps pre-installed onto the device. What's more is that anyone who chooses to purchase a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 tablet will receive a year of free international calls and access to Skype public Wi-Fi hotpsots. Neat!
Processor and Memory
The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is clearly meant to be used by performance-demanding professionals, although all that horsepower should be enough to run lots of heavy video games as well. Under its hood we find a fourth-generation Intel Core i5-4200U "Haswell" processor, clocked at 1.6 GHz, but capable of running at up to 2.6GHz thanks to Intel's Turbo Boost tech. Intel HD Graphics 4400 is what handles the eye-candy, delivering 50% better graphics performance when compared to last year's Surface Pro. Furthermore, the user has at least 4GB of RAM at their disposal, with 8 gigs available in pricier configurations. From the looks of it, the tablet will fly, executing even heavy tasks with ease. In fact, during the tablet's announcement, Microsoft demonstrated its Surface Pro 2 handling an input stream of RAW 6K video data without breaking a sweat. All in all, Microsoft is convincing us that the Surface Pro 2 is faster than 95% of today's laptops.
The base Microsoft Surface Pro 2 model will ship with 64GB of on-board storage, and we're expecting about half of that to be available for apps and storing files. For a Windows 8 machine, that's hardly enough space, so it would be wise to go for at least a 128GB variant. Models with 256 and 512GB of SSD storage will be also available, but at a significantly higher cost. Thankfully, the tablet comes with a microSD card slot for storage expansion and 200GB of cloud space thanks to SkyDrive.
Camera and multimedia
We're surprised to see that Microsoft hasn't done anything to the cameras found on its new Surface Pro tablet. On the front and back of the device, We find the same 0.9MP cams, capable of taking 720p videos. They will get the job done for video conversations, but their still photographs are likely to be underwhelming.
What has been upgraded, on the other hand, is the set of stereo speakers found on the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 tablet. They now feature tech by Dolby, which will supposedly treat our ears to clearer, louder sound. We aren't expecting anything groundbreaking, of course.
Battery life
The first-gen Microsoft Surface Pro had a 5-hour battery life, which was a bummer. The new model, however, can last 75% longer, so it should get you through almost a full work day on a single charge. For those who need extra power, a keyboard dock – the Power Cover, sold separately – provides up to 150% extra juice with its built-in battery.
And that's the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 in a nutshell. It is shaping up as a good device, but we wish its maker had more to impress us with. All, in all, the Surface Pro 2 a tablet that's in many ways better than last year's Surface Pro, but looking at it now, we can't help to think that Microsoft should have some more spice to the Surface Pro's successor. After all, Windows 8 tablets aren't exactly selling like there's no tomorrow, and a stand-out member of the species would have been great having in the game. Despite being developed by Microsoft itself, the Surface Pro 2 might not be that hero, but then again, we could be wrong. Guess we'll see in a few months once the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is out. It will be available for pre-order from Microsoft's online store start tomorrow, September 24, starting at $899.

folks where is the Surface Pro 2 with the more powerful Intel i7 Haswell CPU this is the CPU needed to really make the Surface pro capable doing every high level CAD program or HD game ever made to play on a PC. A lot of souls waited for the Surface pro 2 to come out before they Put down their money to buy one to see the hardware and software bugs of the surface Pro to be worked out. I think the surface pro 2 will sell better than the original one did. it has better battery life, it's faster, has a better kickstand with more positions, it has a good strong dock now. the new Windows 8.1 software is better. those who can to buy one will be happy they did.The price of the surface pro 2 is it's weakness. a lot of People will like the surface pro 2 but will they pay the price to OWN ONE!

CAD and heavy gaming...may be next year when intel has even lower tdp processors...that generate low heat and consume less power.

With a 4th gen i7, you must be joking right? This isn't a high-end laptop nor does it have any type of cooling fans to drive out all the heat that would kill it in a matter of hours.
12. realnic55 (Posts: 2; Member since: 24 Sep 2013)
You're not too bright are you? You know they make dual core mobile versions of the i7 designed for Ultrabooks that would work fine in one of these right?

Because taking a picture with a tablet is utterly stupid

Invest in a freaking camera-phone or a real camera. Anyway, you should stop taking pics of your peepee.
8. Bopbeak (Posts: 3; Member since: 20 Sep 2013)
It's a matter of balance in the device. You must consider how things work out perfectly rather than putting such processors which will jeopardize the device's performance.
9. papss (Posts: 2892; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
I am biting at the bit for this.. Why oh why do I love tech so much!!! I can't afford them all lol
14. ekholbrook (Posts: 2; Member since: 25 Sep 2013)
biggest problem overall is still the price for what you get. $800 just to get the base pro model is just... well it's not worth it. It's clunky as a tablet, it's under powered for a good laptop.
Yes, if offers way way more possibilities than a consumption device like an ipad, but, it seems to me it's still like taking an all out pickup truck, chopping off the bed, lowering it, giving it sporty wheels, and ending up with... nothing you'd really want to drive because it's neither a truck nor a car nor a sportscar. Instead of a bit of the best of each, it ends up being the worst parts of each and just an expensive experiment.
Perfect example, I'll goto my son's soccer game on saturday and shoot more video footage and photos in two outings than the base pro model could fit on what''s left of it's drive.
And has anyone seen some of the drive requirements of games recently? 10, 15, gigs.
Yeah sure, like I said above, you can hook up the external stuff, drives, etc... but then you have... a desktop.

You told me you are the best snowboarder anyone has ever seen and nobody knows more aboit the sport. It might not have been your original intent, but it is what you wrote. No need to obfuscate or deny it - you are better than that.
In either case, I respect your opinion - even if I disagree with it. I am not attacking your view, let alone you. Just like you, I am just expressing an opinion. And I am certainly not claiming that my opinion outweighs yours - or anybody else's for that matter. What gives you that idea? Again, you are better than that. Anyway, we certainly have gone well OT and I do not think we are addressing the OP's issue any longer I will let this rest. Last edited by jdunnit; 08-09-2012 at 08:04 PM. |
