Pep picks Munich
Just ahead of Wednesday's historic announcement that it had signed Pep Guardiola for the next three seasons, the Bayern Munich website carried an interview with its towering striker Mario Gomez. In it he talked about the Bavarian club's preparations, training, tactical work and consistency of passing during the winter break. "Everything's going like clockwork," he said.
And that, if you want Guardiola's decision analysed in microcosm, is the principal reason Bayern Munich beat AC Milan, Manchester City, Chelsea and Roma -- also, potentially, Manchester United depending on circumstances -- to the Catalan's signature.
Right now, Guardiola is in the power seat of what we also call a seller's market. That's true because he has a trophy-laden CV, is tremendously wealthy and can afford, in every sense, to be choosy.
But the key thing to bear in mind is that if he was down to his last 10 bucks, hadn't won a trophy as a manager in his life and was desperate for a job, he'd still use the same criteria to make his decision and would also turn down clubs in which he lacked faith.
More: Guardiola announced as new Bayern manager
Blog: Bayern Munich
Guardiola has a clear philosophy. It's not just about how his teams play, nor solely about winning. It's about how to work, what to dedicate your enthusiasm and energy to and what constitutes consistent standards -- it's about having a dream and pursuing it ruthlessly.
Just check back over those words and you'll discover how much they represent Bayern Munich's philosophy.
OK, there have been years recently when the club earned the nickname "FC Hollywood" because of the constant feuding, the extravagant off-field behaviour and the massive personalities.
But Bayern shed that skin as, little by little, Oliver Kahn left, Stefan Effenburg left and Lothar Matthaus left.
Since then there has been a massive dedication by the Bavarians to youth development, proper budgeting, turning a profit where possible, worldwide marketing and building a proper, healthy, non-exploitative relationship with their fans.
Uttering those phrases must have been like hearing a love song to Guardiola. To Pep, it's just as important that players tie their bootlaces to a calibrated degree of tightness and get to sleep before quarter to midnight each night as it is that the ball is round and the grass is green.
His appetite for detail is beyond limit.
Moreover, he believes that those above him -- the ones who run the club -- must have a clear, defined and realizable philosophy that, once applied, will be maintained even through stormy weather because, irrespective of a momentary rough patch, a road well chosen is worth the long journey.
As recently as Tuesday, some people who work with Guardiola were briefing off the record that it was still a three-horse race between Bayern, Chelsea and Manchester City.
Perhaps it seemed then that the smart money remained on a move to England. There is no question that he yearns to work there and is an aficionado of the atmosphere in English football: the culture, the history and the world-class infrastructure.
But nobody who knew him was discarding the Bundesliga.
As long ago as the middle of 2010/2011 a good friend of Guardiola's, who has known him since he was in his early 20s, told me: "I wouldn't rule out Pep one day shocking us all and leaving Barcelona for the Bundesliga -- particularly if the club was Borussia Dortmund or Bayern Munich."
The friend continued: "He's got this butterfly mind that flits around concepts because he's fascinated by them but once he takes a big decision he doesn't much care whether other people see it as the obvious choice or not."
The argument that Guardiola's friend was musing over then was whether a recent dinner date with the Barcelona manager in which he'd enthused massively over the full stadia all over Germany each week, the degree to which fans still feel an "ownership" of their clubs in the Bundesliga, the huge, noisy crowds and the low admission prices, was enough to indicate that Pep had a move to Germany in mind.
It appears that the answer was yes.
Many people aren't clear that because Guardiola and Raul spent years defending two sides of the great Spanish divide, Real Madrid and Barcelona, they aren't sworn enemies. In fact there has long been a mutual respect and friendship to the point that it has been Raul, along with Louis Van Gaal, whose briefings have helped inform this decision.
Raul absolutely adored his time at Schalke and wished that he'd experimented earlier in his career. Van Gaal's time in Germany was more tempestuous but he left with huge respect for the wave of youth, talent, energy and sound organisation that has enveloped the Bundesliga in recent years. All this was music to Guardiola's ears, and the reasons that there has been an acceleration in the announcement are equally logical.
Bayern might not be routinely talked about throughout Europe as "bigger" than, say, Manchester United, Arsenal, Milan, Real Madrid or Barcelona, yet they are not only a massive, behemoth force in Germany but also one of Europe's absolute aristocracy, a team beloved around the globe. Let's face it; Bayern is also a "leaky" club. Stories get out of the Allianz Arena much more easily than Bayern's opponents normally do.
In the interim, Jupp Heynckes has a big job on his hands already trying to win the Bundesliga and, finally, recapture the Champions League, a trophy they've not won for 12 years now. He doesn't require constant speculation; nor do the players. During the winter break was a smart time to announce this.
As for Guardiola, he'll already have begun Wednesday afternoon to plan the preseason tour and the summer training, identify his staff, who he wants to buy and those players he wants to release or sell; not to be ignored, he'll also soon begin to trawl through the promising prospects in the Bayern youth academy.
Thomas Muller, their hugely exciting striker who scored in the Champions League final defeat to Chelsea last May, is a prime example of what Guardiola finds attractive about life at Bayern Munich.
Still in his early 20s and a vital player for the German national team, Muller has been in the Bayern system since he was 11. And there are others, like Holger Badstuber, for example, who signed when he was 13 years old, that mimic his trajectory at the club.
They won't automatically become another Andres Iniesta, Xavi or Messi simply because they've been in the club system for more than a decade, but it's an indication that Bayern has a developmental philosophy, trains players well in technical terms and is likely to already have a next tranche of players prepared to make debuts during Guardiola's three years there.
First under Uli Hoeness and now under Christian Nerlinger, Bayern has not only treated debt with distaste but has focused on turning a profit. So successful has this plan been that the club has been able to alter its signing policy while still adding major investments like Mario Gomez, Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Javi Martinez to the roster.
Again, it's a dream mix for Guardiola. Similar to Barcelona, Bayern has an ethos of home development, an ability to buy the best but a guide that specifies technical, personal and professional qualities which need to be met if a footballer is going to cut the mustard at Bayern Munich.
Don't forget, too, that although Bayern is a massive German club and part of the European aristocracy having won the Champions League/European Cup four times, it likes to be known as a Bavarian outfit.
FC Barcelona is a club based in Spain but full of employees -- players, directors and coaches -- who feel that Catalunya is a country with a specific culture, language and history that deserves recognition. There's a similar importance placed on being Bavarian, rather than simply being "German," at Bayern Munich. Like many of the things that have attracted Guardiola to work at the Allianz Arena, it's not identical to life at Barcelona but is sufficiently similar to seduce him.
Also, Bayern has reached the final of the hallowed Champions League three times since 1999 and failed. The pain of doing so in front of its own fans last May, having created umpteen scoring chances, led with only seven minutes remaining and then missed an extra-time penalty, has been too much.
Jupp Heynckes has been an elegant, successful and stoic manager at the club but his retirement masks the fact Bayern needed a coach who can push it over the finish line. Domestically, too, Borussia Dortmund has had a hex on the Bavarians in the past couple of years, thrashing Bayern in the 2012 German Cup Final as well as winning back to back Bundesliga titles. Therefore, it's Guardiola time.
Will he enjoy all of it? No. One of the great benefits of Bayern having people like Franz Beckenbauer, Uli Hoeness and Karl Heinz Rummenigge involved in the club and the company's managing structure is that there are good, solid brains involved in strategy making and nobody can doubt their adoration for this football institution. But it also means that there are a lot of large egos, ready to share their points of view and criticism of how things are going with the media.
Guardiola will need a tough skin should things not go well in the first few months.
And there remains the fascinating question of to what degree the massive success he enjoyed at Barcelona, averaging more than three trophies per season in his four years there, was a product of his genius or that of his special players -- Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol.
I have always contested that what you get with Guardiola -- irrespective of not having Messi -- is quality, intelligence, diligence, experience, honesty and a fierce hunger to win. No wonder there was a queue of clubs vying for his services. Hats off to Bayern for securing them.
For the rest of us neutrals, it's just good to know that he's back. Guardiola is one of the good guys.

"FALSEHOOD flies, and truth comes limping after it," wrote Jonathan Swift, "so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect."
Surely Ryan Lanza, the brother of Adam Lanza, who committed a massacre on Dec. 14 in Newtown, Conn., would agree with Swift.
Ryan was miles away, minding his own business, when the media, including The Post, named him as the author of the bloodbath - and for the next few hours he was no longer an anonymous office toiler but a notorious mass murderer.
Yes, the truth finally limped along later. Still, the false accusation compounded Ryan's agony at learning that his younger brother used his mother's gun to kill her, 20 children, six additional adults and, finally, himself.
Many say we need a post-Newtown "national conversation" about gun violence. We do.
While we're at it, let's soul-search about the fact that the instantaneous spread of misinformation after mass killings is becoming almost as frequent as the massacres. And some of our leading media institutions are culpable.
On Jan. 8, 2011, NPR and others mistakenly reported that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords had been killed in a shooting rampage that did claim six lives.
On July 20, 2012, Brian Ross of ABC suggested that the shooter in the Aurora movie theater massacre belonged to the Colorado tea party; Ross had confused the actual killer, James Holmes, with another person of that name who popped up on an Internet search.
Initial reporting on the Dec. 11 shooting at a Portland, Ore., shopping mall included inflated body counts, inaccurate descriptions of the suspect and bogus rumors of multiple gunmen.
Something has to be done about this problem, too.
Calling for restraint on the flow of information - even, perhaps, self-restraint - might make me as popular with my media brethren as a gun control advocate in the National Rifle Association.
Like gun enthusiasts, we journalists have our very own section in the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment. And, not unlike the Second Amendment crowd, we tend to view complaints about misuse and abuse of our favorite freedom as a threat to it.
Reporters can also claim, quite legitimately, that we rush to correct our errors, which are often the errors of our sources, passed on by us in good faith.
Certainly those defenses are available to media that named Ryan Lanza as the Newtown shooter; the story was corrected later, and it did indeed originate with law enforcement.

Francisco de Zurbarán was born circa November 7, 1598, probably in Fuente de Cantos, Spain (the date and place of his baptism). As a teenager, he studied painting, and soon was creating pieces for monasteries in Spain. Later, Zurbarán also sent his paintings to the New World. As styles changed, his popularity began to fade before his death at age 65 on August 27, 1664, in Madrid, Spain.
Early Life
Francisco de Zurbarán was born circa November 7, 1598, probably in Fuente de Cantos, Spain (the date and place of his baptism). As a child, Zurbarán showed a talent for painting, and was sent to Seville in 1614 to apprentice with the artist Pedro Diaz de Villanueva.
Success as a Painter
After finishing his training in 1617, Zurbarán moved to the town of Llerena, near Fuente de Cantos. After getting married, he worked for years as an artist-for-hire. Following the death of his first wife, María Páez, in 1623, Zurbarán wed Beatriz de Morales in 1625. The money and family connections Zurbarán's second wife possessed were a boon for his career, enabling him to return to Seville.
At the time, religious orders were a significant source of work for artists, and Zurbarán pursued such commissions once he was in Seville. In 1627, he painted "Christ on a Cross" for a Dominican monastery. A masterpiece, the work secured Zurbarán's standing as a respected, sought-after painter. He received an invitation to stay in the city from the council of Seville in 1629.
As he mainly worked for monastic orders, the majority of Zurbarán's work consisted of religious imagery. Many of his theologically inspired paintings are simple, yet emotionally compelling, works that showcase his naturalistic style, as well as his skilled use of light and shadow. Zurbarán's few secular pieces include exquisite still life images, such as "Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Rose" (1633), and a "Labors of Hercules" series painted for the Buen Retiro Palace in Madrid.
Career Difficulties
Although Zurbarán was an accomplished artist, some of his work has revealed his limitations. The creations of his workshop were occasionally of poor quality, perhaps due to his unfit assistants. And when Bartolomé Esteban Murillo's work became popular in Seville, Zurbarán found himself displaced as the city's foremost painter, even though he tried—unsuccessfully—to imitate Murillo's style.
Zurbarán's career was at its height in the 1630s. In the 1640s, monasteries offered fewer commissions, reducing his opportunities. With his domestic market in decline, Zurbarán turned to the New World, exporting a number of canvases. However, fleet seizures kept him from receiving some payments, which exacerbated his financial difficulties. In the 1650s, he once again focused on domestic commissions, though Zurbarán no longer commanded the high fees he once had.
Death and Legacy
Zurbarán moved to Madrid with his third wife in 1658. He died there, in straitened circumstances, on August 27, 1664. Zurbarán's artistic reputation may have varied during his lifetime, but today his best pieces mark him as a leading painter from the Spanish Baroque period.

Moody has won several film and screenwriting awards, including the Hollis Parry Fine Arts award for the film "Victor, The Wild Child of Averyon - The Musical." He won first place for his film short "Out There" at the 1997 Apple Avid Cinema Film Contest. As a screenwriter he was winner of the Lee Rich/Warner Bros.

It really works and it's healthy. I've had no side effects although some people do. I have lost 40 lbs. in about 6 months. I am very happy about this ss I have been about 60 lbs. overweight since I quit smoking and then stopped taking care of myself for a few years too. I have never stuck with a diet or any diet supplements - tried several that didn't work. Wasted money. PGX seemed to work right away.

PGX A Great Help

I have been using this product for over a month now, and I would have to say that I feel that it has definitely helped me to stick to my diet and control those sugar cravings. There was a adjustment period for the body, as is described in the instructions but it is definitely worth it. I take a probiotic every few days to help, and it works. I think having control of the cravings goes a long way. I never realized how the blood sugar can mess up the diet, but I can sure tell the difference. I just don't have the real "binges" anymore. I hope you continue to carry this product, and I appreciate the great price you offer.

seems to work as stated, although for me I find I can only tolerate 2 per day. But even with that, my scale is going down with no change in diet.

After trying the free sample and deciding this was a product I really could live with, I ordered this larger size. Even though the softgels are rather large, I find them very easy to swallow, which is saying a lot for me. I do feel very satisfied and my smaller meal portions are just fine now. I'm starting to lose weight and feel so much better. The fact that this pgx product stabilizes glucose delivery is the key to my program. I'm so very pleased I've found an ally in my health program. I've told everyone I know about this product. I've just ordered the SlimStyles drink mixes and will start those shortly. Thank you iHerb for carrying this line and your fabulous service!

Purchased at iHerb
I started using Natural Factors, PGX Daily, Ultra Matrix Softgels, 750 mg to help with weight loss and blood sugar management. I have PCOS and was hoping that there would be spin-off benefits for my symptoms. Anyway, I've been using PGX for about a month now and there were a few problems adjusting to it. In the first few days I was bloated and uncomfortable. I woke up in the night with incredible thirst and drank an average of 6 litres of water a day for the first few days. I even ran a fever for a day or two as my body adjusted to two tablets before each meal. Every two or three days I increased my dosage. On about day 6 something magically changed. I was at a dose of 3 tablets before each meal and I realised my body was used to the tablets. I was drinking about 750 mls of water with each dose of 3. Over the next two weeks I increased to 4 and then 5 tablets before each meal. Five tablets is just right for me. It suppresses my appetite and I have lost 2 kilos (approx 4 pounds) in 3 weeks. The best thing it does is stabilise my cravings for food. Usually I get cravings about 2 - 3 hours after a meal - an indication that my blood sugars are dropping. With PGX I'm so stable and the cravings are not there. I've surprised myself with the healthy food choices I've been able to make. I assume it's because I'm not so hungry, the PGX fills me up. I had a blood test before commencing so I'll post another review in several months time when we see what it's doing to my blood sugar levels. I've just ordered another batch of these. I can see them being a real help to me.

Available for Apple iPads and tablets.
Advances in direct drive rotary servos
Inside machines: In performance and market growth, direct-drive servo motors are outpacing conventional servo motors and gear motors. Advanced designs and new technologies can add efficiency.
Industrial Ethernet essentials: What you need to know
Ethernet of the industrial kind requires specialty knowledge and practices, unlike Ethernet for home and office. If you are installing or operating an industrial Ethernet network, here are five need-to-know essentials about cabling, signal quality, ground loops, switches, and traffic.
Control Engineering Engineers' Choice Awards highlight some of the best new control, instrumentation and automation products as chosen by Control Engineering's print and online subscribers. Survey respondents are asked to select products based on technological advancement, service to the industry, and market impact.
Servos versus induction motors: Look at performance, costs
Choosing between servos and induction motors depends on the level of performance required by the application and costs. Induction motors are simple, low-cost, and straightforward. Servos can offer higher performance, faster speeds, and smaller sizes.
Control Engineering Industrial Ethernet Best Practices Webcast – RCEP accredited
Archived version now posted: With Q&A, about 1 hour, 25 minutes. 1 PDH available for all registrants - Join Control Engineering for a Webcast to discover best practices for industrial Ethernet implementations based on experiences of two automation system integrators. Apply these lessons learned to help your current or next application design, start-up, and implementation of industrial Ethernet provide maximum benefits and quickly as possible. An exam and certificate are available for one professional development hour (PDH), according the Registered Continuing Education Program (from the American Council of Engineering Companies).
PLC developments increase flexibility and speed - New architectures are expanding capabilities, blurring the line between programmable automation controllers and PLCs.
The danger of what you don't know you don't know
Think of an engineering degree as a license to learn rather than an end in itself.
System Integrator Giants of 2012
These 100 firms represent the largest system integrators of 2012, from among 2,334 in the Control Engineering Automation Integrator Guide.
Optimizing strategy for boiler drum level control
Avoid trips and maximize steam output by reviewing your control equipment, strategy, and tuning.
Additional highly read articles online during September follow, below.
Machine Safety: Only engineers can lead the Risk Assessment process? An incremental documented process called "Risk Assessment" is required in many updated standards. And, a new standard, ANSI B11.0 – 2010, Safety of Machinery – General Requirements and Risk Assessment, is dedicated to this topic. With all this attention folks still are not clear regarding whether an engineer is essential to lead the risk assessment process.
Beyond the network firewall - Since many industrial devices are soft targets for hackers, placing smaller firewalls deeper in networks near PLCs or embedding them in such controllers is a practical way to add a higher level of protection.
Artisan cheese maker shares secret technology ingredient - Case Study: Gunn's Hill Cheese uses 15 variable frequency drives (VFDs) to improve consistency and quality. In one application, the installation of a variable speed system resulted in a 50% reduction in horsepower compared to a traditional fixed speed system.
Where is all the wireless process instrumentation?
The catalog of native wireless instrumentation devices is still pretty thin. What's holding this process back?

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

T.S. Eliot
"Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go."
E. L. Doctorow
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain
"We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey."
John Hope Franklin
"Creative people who can't help but explore other mental territories are at greater risk, just as someone who climbs a mountain is more at risk than someone who just walks along a village lane."

"After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings."
Richard Dawkins
"In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration."
Ansel Adams

Utes shoot up to 5th in the BCS rankings, setting up a huge showdown this Saturday against #3 TCU.
Utah has played a lighter schedule these past few weeks. Yet the way they're rolling teams should prove just how good they are.
Utes come in at eighth in the BCS, a spot higher than last week.
After their 30-6 win over Wyoming, the Utes move up a spot in the Coaches Poll to ninth.
Kinda saw this coming. Oregon lost and then we had to absorb a win over a team who's currently 0-9 this season.
The Utes have established themselves as the true BCS busters. But how well have they faired over the last eight years against BCS opponents and where does it stack up nationally?
Alabama & Utah might be opponents in the Sugar Bowl, but their path to New Orleans is strikingly similar.
Well less than ten minutes now before the selection. Odds are Utah will be playing Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, but you never know. I'll admit, this is like Christmas for me, I'm very excited...
I'll be live blogging the results, but don't forget to watch the BCS selection show at 6:00 MST on FOX 13 (if you're in the Salt Lake area). After the show, FOX 13 will be having a special where...
The Fiesta is going to pass on the Utes and that leaves the Sugar Bowl and Orange, with the Orange being the less likely of the two. Since Alabama lost to Florida in the SEC Championship tonight,...

Journeys and Arrivals: The Films of Jeon Soo-il--With a Girl of Black Soil 2007
Presented in association with the Korean Film Council and the UCLA Center for Korean Studies
Saturday, January 16, 2010
Billy Wilder Theater
Hammer Museum
10899 Wilshire Blvd.
Over the last decade, South Korean writer-director Jeon Soo-il has earned an international reputation for highly personal films that explore the connections between identity and geography, art and being. An associate professor of film who studied in Pusan and Paris, Jeon is drawn to characters who find themselves unmoored from the spaces and relationships that define their lives. Businessmen, children and even film professors set out on journeys, both inward and outward, their final destinations always unknown. Much like his characters Jeon followed his own path in South Korean cinema, continuously honing his approach to combine a social realist edge with a powerfully minimalist style. The UCLA Film & Television Archive is pleased to present Jeon's first six features to Los Angeles audiences for the first time.
All films in Korean with English subtitles except where noted.
All films directed by Jeon Soo-il.
SCR: Jeon Soo-il, Jung Soon-yeoung. CAST: Ryu Yeon-mi, Jo Young-jin, Park Hyung-woo.
After being diagnosed with black lung and losing his job, a coalminer slowly retreats into an alcohol soaked oblivion leaving his 8-year-old daughter, Young-lim, to care for her developmentally-disabled younger brother. Jeon firmly fixes the family's plight in the social context of the rugged Kangwon province while Jo Young-jin delivers an unforgettable performance as Young-lim.
35mm, color, 89 min.
In person: Jeon Soo-il.
Cost: Advance online tickets are available for $10 at www.cinema.ucla.edu. General admission and student tickets are available at the window for $9 and $8 respectively.
Special Instructions
Open to the public.

Although I love the RGB light because it finds the blood trail very well, it burns through batteries very quickly. Part of the reason is the on/off button is on the bottom and is easily turned on while in your pocket.

They're put there by those too young to go to war, but old enough to be grateful for those who have. "This is the least we can do for them after all they've done for us," said Emma O'Bryant.
About 200 teens from the Sandy Utah Crescent Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints prepared cemetery grounds for Memorial Day.
"Most of the graves have a lot of dirt and grass on it and stuff and all the flowers are tipped over," said Sydney Pexton.
"We're placing flags at the gravesites of veterans and then sweeping off the graves for them," said O'Bryant.
Many of these young people have veterans in their own families and this simple act of gratitude is a way of thanking those close to them.
"I got to put a flag on my grandpa's grave and he just died recently and it was fun to be able to honor him and what he's done as well," said Emilee Astle.
At the very cemetery Monday is an annual Memorial Day program honoring veterans and active military members.
The event will include music and speakers Sen. Orrin Hatch and Brig. Gen. Dallen Atack. The ceremony begins at 10 am at the Larkin Sunset Gardens Cemetery.

3M Streaming Projector
Pair a pico projector (small enough to fit in your hand) with a built-in Roku video streamer, and you've got the 3M Streaming Projector -- hands-down, one of the coolest products of 2012.
The good: The 3M Streaming Projector features an integrated Roku Streaming Stick in its compact, handheld design. It has built-in dual-band Wi-Fi and essentially the full functionality of a standalone Roku box, including streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Instant, Hulu Plus, MLB.TV, Vudu and HBO Go. There's also a built-in rechargeable battery, making it truly portable.
The bad: The built-in battery only lasts for a little over 1.5 hours. And while image quality is watchable, the resolution is limited to DVD-quality and the picture could be brighter.
The bottom line: The 3M Streaming Projector packs the full power of a Roku box in a pico projector, making for an undeniably cool gadget, even with its limited battery life.

Shogun Robe Features Killer Looks
The Shogun robe is limited edition. Only 30 are being made and each will go for about $500.
"Shogun†is the name of the collaboration between young, innovative design studio Form Us With Love and prestige manufacturer of cotton terry, Pellevävare. The result is a limited edition of 30 exclusive robes of terry strategically reinforced with cotton canvas. "The inspiration derives from the Japanese medieval warriors and their protective outfits. We wanted the user to feel like a general, stepping out of bed, putting on his weekend uniform and start plotting strategies for the day.
I managed to ninja my way into the warehouse and steal one, and I'd like to think I look better than that pasty Martin Sheen lookalike in the picture. The robe definitely helps me get in the mood to "start plotting strategies for the day". This morning I woke up, planned a sneak attack on a bunch of pancakes, and utterly destroyed them. Then I proceeded to prepare for a much more difficult battle -- a platoon of Wild Turkey. I'm halfway through and I'm afraid I'm losing the fight. I can't see straight anymore and I think I cut myself with a steak knife trying to stab the bottle.
Several more closeups of the robe after the jump.

The Band Wagon: As often as not, the film world salutes the stage through song. There are dozens of movie musicals that tell the story of a stage musical. The Band Wagon, released in 1953, is one of the best. Though named after a famous Broadway stage revue of 1931, the plot has little to do with the original Broadway production, and the score retains only a couple songs from the show (the catalog of songwriters Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz was plundered for it, and they wrote a new number for the picture — "That's Entertainment!"). Like about half of the theatre films ever made, it's about a show in trouble. The director (played by Jack Buchanan) is a visionary kook. The leading players — Fred Astaire playing a has-been film idol looking for a career jolt and Cyd Charisse as a ballet stage who is contemptuous of stage folk — don't like each other. The playwright-songwriters (Nanette Fabray and Oscar Levant) are based on Broadway's Betty Comden and Adolph Green (who wrote the screenplay). The show-within-the-movie ends up being rewritten top to bottom out of town.
"Writing 'That's Entertainment!' into the Great American Songbook would be enough to ensure this musical about musicals into the pantheon," said Cashill. "But there's so much else going on. With Nanette Fabray and Oscar Levant 'doing' the writers, the incomparable Comden and Green, we get a musical comedy view of how a show changes on the road, with all the ups and downs along the way. It's as well-observed, and amusing, as the silent-into-sound-era shenanigans of their 'Singin' in the Rain' [screenplay]." Tony-winning composer-lyricist Marc Shaiman called it his "favorite M-G-M musical." Wittman said of it, "After watching Nanette Fabray and Oscar Levant...I said, 'That's what I want to do. Be a married composing team!,'" while Beane quipped, "A washed-up film star tries his hand at Broadway to get his career restarted? Completely unrealistic." (Beane happened to pen the libretto of a stage version of the movie, retitled Dancing in the Dark. It stalled following a 2008 world premiere at The Old Globe in San Diego.)

The melt shop for ThyssenKrupp's carbon/stainless steel complex, initially expected to be complete in January 2011, was delayed due to the financial crisis.

If we saw a stingray out for an evening swim, we'd turn and go the other way. But the unsuspecting underwater villain provided inspiration for clean, nude nails at Jen Kao's spring show. So now we're thinking maybe the guy just got a bad rap. Shelena Robinson, CND's overseer of fingertips backstage, describes how to get the look: First, apply a base coat of sheer metallic (models wore Gold Shimmer Effects). Add a layer of a creamy nude, like Pink Lily. Finish with a matte top coat for a soft, sharkskin-like finish. www.cnd.com Photo: Cindy Ord / Getty Images
Your New Crush: Orange Lipstick With coral and tangerine lip colors popping up at beauty counters, it's clear that orange is a tasty choice for spring. Before you try this tricky trend, follow our pointers for finding the right shade for your skin tone — with products plucked directly from the runway.

Freymann-Weyr, G. (2009). After the Moment. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. 328 pages.
Leigh Hunter thinks that he is going to have an ordinary junior year in high school, but when his stepsister's father dies and she asks him to move from New York to Maryland to be there for her, his plans are changed. Leigh has lived with his mother since his parents' divorce, and living with his father proves to be an interesting challenge. Leigh meets a girl named Maia, who is slowly recovering from anorexia and self-injury (in the past, she burned herself with lit cigarettes and cut the bottoms of her feet). They fall in love over the summer, but their relationship is tried by a traumatizing event where Maia is date-raped by fellow students, and it is captured on film. I found this book to be interesting in that I can't quite place a finger on what demographic it is geared toward. It was different to read about "issues" that are generally associated with females (i.e. anorexia, self-injury) from the male perspective. Readers are informed from the beginning that their relationship does not last; it doesn't work – which is a sharp contrast to the copious talk and comparisons to romance novels (Leigh's mother writes them, Leigh's stepsister reads them). Leigh also struggles internally with what road his life is meant to travel (if/where he should go to college), whether or not he believes in God, and what the war in Iraq means to him and the country. Sometimes the comments on the war in Iraq were a bit… off-color… out of place, even.

I have a HP Compaq dc7700p that i have taken the board out of. It comes with a 6400 Core 2 duo Socket 775 cpu.
Im donoring some bits between that and a HP cs7800p machine and i want to take the cpu (Q9300 Core 2 Quad) from this machine and put onto the board from the HP 7700 machine.
However when i put the Q9300 into the board from the 7700p it doesnt boot - it powers up for about 1 second then shuts off.
AS soon as i put the Core 2 Duo 6400 back into its own board it boots fine.
I have checked heat sink is tight, paste etc etc but no life from it.
They are both socket 775 cpu's so why cant i get any life from the Q9300 in the HP 7700 board?

You don't say what the motherboard is but have you checked the CPUs supported by it? Perhaps it needs a BIOS update to handle quad core processors.

Budgeting and Saving Tips that will Prepare Women for the Future
December 1, 2011 by Deborah Bateman
Filed under Finance, Slideshow Articles, SmartFem featured content
It is essential for women, now more than ever, to stay knowledgeable of their financial situation. I am a firm believer in empowering women to achieve personal and financial success, and one of the first steps on that path is to know how to manage your income and properly save.
The good news is that technological advances and hundreds of free resources are available to assist with creating a budget, cutting down on debt and developing a savings plan. Here are my five smart tips to successfully save money:
- Create a Budget. Developing an easy-to-follow plan to manage your budget can be easily accomplished, but first you must review your net income, which is the money you have available after taxes. Next, know your expenses and always include savings as one of those expenses. After determining net income and expenses, you are ready to set a personal budget. National Bank of Arizona has a free tool, EZ Budget, that will assist you through this process, which is available on www.nbarizona.com.
- Plan to Save. As mentioned above, it is essential to incorporate savings into your expenses to ensure you are preparing for the future. Instead of having one savings account like so many have, try opening several accounts and categorizing them. Examples may include retirement, vacation, Christmas and college education. When depositing into these accounts, utilize a savings calculator to give you an idea of how quickly you will reach your goal. National Bank of Arizona has this tool available on www.nbarizona.com.
Also, sign up for direct deposit through your employer. This way you can choose to have a specific dollar amount or percentage of each check deposited directly into a savings account. For those without direct deposit, most banks allow you to set up a monthly automatic transfer between linked checking and savings accounts.
- Know your Credit Score. One of the biggest mistakes women make with finances is not regularly checking their credit scores. Making sure your credit score, or FICO score, is high and accurate is important because it can determine what you pay for auto financing and leasing, credit cards, mortgages and insurance. It can even affect whether or not you get a job or rent an apartment.
If you don't have a recent credit report, order one. Make sure you take responsibility for creating your own personal credit history by reviewing your credit report regularly and checking for errors, limit the number of credit cards you open and most importantly – pay your bills on time.
- Cut Credit Card Debt. Stop using credit cards to prevent incurring additional debt. Next, review your credit card balances and make at least the minimum payment on every credit card each month. Additional money should go toward paying off the card with the highest interest rate. After the first card is paid off, use the money that was being paid toward that card to pay off the card with the next highest rate. Always know what you are paying; new laws require more clarification on how your payment is being applied, whether it's toward interest, fees or principal.
- Utilize Online Banking. Online banking allows the luxury of having access to your accounts 24 hours a day and can help preserve your credit rating. This allows you to review account activity and monitor the account for cleared checks, which will help reduce overdraft fees. Setup automatic bill pay through online accounts to ensure that you won't incur penalties for forgetting to send in payment. Many banks, including National Bank of Arizona, have online resource centers with tools available at no cost, including financial calculators, economic newsletters, budget applications, online bill pay and online security tools and applications.

I'm not so sure it's just a matter of smart doing the yo yo thing. If that were true, I'd be working one job today instead of 3. Take the time to really look at yourself. Look at all you've accomplished. Then, fashion that into a viable new path forward. I'm sorry...I refuse to believe that there are not some amazing seniors today who still have lot of shelf life left for innovation, creativity and new horizons. We all get tired and we all find days when we just don't feel we can stretch another ounce of energy out of bodies and minds aging faster than we'd all like. So..we can choose the kind of work that gives us a little wiggle room. Maybe the corner office in corporate headquarters is out. That doesn't mean we're ready for the scrap heap.

Language English Edition Softcover › Find signed collectible books: 'Gift from the Sea' |
I found a 1955 printing of this book in an old waterfront cabin and was struck by the care with which the previous owner had read it. Eve (the name inscribed inside the front cover and then again above the heading for chapter 3) made pencil marks on nearly every paragraph of the book, underlining a phrase, highlighting many passages with strong vertical marks, scratching out some words that she seems to have found superfluous and even x-ing out whole sections that apparently missed their mark with her altogether. Two rusting paper clips isolate several pages, absent any marking at all. Anne Morrow Lindbergh's lyrical words are still relevant and presage so many of the themes of today's most popular books: simplicity, peaceful solitude, caring for the soul, a woman finding her place in society and life. I heard that the woman who had lived in the cabin had actually passed away some time before. Thank you, Eve, for your gift... from the sea. [via]
