GREENSBORO, NC -- You're about to be in all sorts of situations: office parties, family gatherings and gift exchanges.
Body Language expert Blanca Cobb is showing us how to be good gift receivers and give us the scoop on what others are thinking.
What to do when you KNOW a bad gift is on it's way? "Control is the way to manage your frustrations at opening another crazy, not-gonna-be used gift. If you're expecting to get a different version of the same recycled holiday sweater from last year then you're ahead of the game."
Blanca goes on to explain. Because you already know what to expect. The element of surprise is gone. Now, you have to psych yourself out when you open the gift. Turn it a "let's see" game. So before you open the present, take a wild guess as to what will be in the box. After you open the gift, you'll have a natural smile because it's another crazy, useless gift, which is what you expected. See, how that works?
One of the reasons you get so frustrated when opening the holiday gift from the same person is because you expect something different this year. The definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and expecting a different result." When you change you're expectations then you change your perspective and voile, you'll show a different and authentic reaction.
Specific body language when saying thank you:
1) leaning forward
2) giving eye contact
3) take the gift out of the box, instead of pushing it aside (or throwing it in the trash)
4) smiling
5) immediately saying thank you
Blanca is bringing some surprises to test the reactions of 2WTK to see how we can tell if someone else likes their gift or not! Check it out today at 5:30pm.

Sign the Petition to get Grueling Dark Souls Ported to PC
Posted on Monday, January 9 @ 09:10:15 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
I know there are some of you who've missed out on Dark Souls because of the fact that it's not on PCs anywhere. But what if it were?
A Nacmo Bandai representative stated on the companies forums that if there was enough support for a PC port of the notoriously difficult Action/RPG from From Software, the company could certainly look into making it happen. As of this writing, an online petition (**groan**) is sitting at just under 50,000 signatures. That might not be enough to indicate a proper PC market for Dark Souls, but adding your name to that list can only help the cause.
Head to Petition Bureau to sign your name and then get back to whipping yourself so you're prepared to die.

Standard Chartered looks unapproachable
27 Jan 2014
You know excitement about a surge in mergers and acquisitions is growing when deal chatter spreads to the unloved banking sector. Unfortunately, one rumour—that Standard Chartered is a serious takeover target—looks like a dud. And that isn't just because chief executive Peter Sands has said as much.

850CI - oil pressure sender / fuel pump relay
Trying to help friend find info on his 850 after this site was so helpful with my classic...
Two problems:
Hunting down oil leak after sending $$ to replace head gaskets. Trying to eliminate easier items like any oil leaking accesories/sensors. Ideas? Where is oil pressure switch located on 850Ci?
Intermittent fuel pump(?) on one bank. Assume there is a relay involved. Where is it located?
Searched a lot but surprised not seeing much on 850's
Thanks all!

L'apprendimento nelle nostre lezioni è basato sul gioco e il divertimento. I benefici dello yoga sono innumerevoli!
Già dalla giovane età, i ragazzi sentono spesso molta pressione e stress intorno a loro, in famiglia, nella società, a scuola, nello sport, etc. Lo yoga è un ottimo rimedio.
Il nostro Yoga per bambini è un modo divertente per sviluppare abilità importanti in un'atmosfera non-competitiva che incoraggia i bambini a rilassarsi e divertirsi, sviluppando non soltanto forza, coordinazione, flessibilità ed equilibrio ma anche consapevolezza del corpo, maggior lucidità mentale e concentrazione.
Oltre l'immenso beneficio mentale e fisico, la pratica dello yoga sviluppa il rispetto e la stima per se stessi, per gli altri e per l'ambiente.
Attraverso le posizioni, il respiro, i disegni, le canzoni ed i giochi i bambini imparano ad armonizzare interno ed esterno in un'atmosfera di divertimento. Lo yoga è divertente!
I ragazzi sono divisi in vari gruppi, a seconda dell'età, ciascuno dei quali ha una propria metodologia:
3 -6 / 7 -10 anni – lezioni di 45 minuti 10 -13 / 13 -16 anni – lezioni di un'ora

Odaka Yoga founded by Roberto and Francesca is an original and innovative vision of yoga though respecting a millennial tradition. A full-spectrum approach to embodying the flow of life with awareness, joy and empowerment. Our belief is living and sharing the yoga practice in and out of the mat, to create synergy and synchronism, promoting self and green consciousness, developing a deep respect for all living creators. Our vision is to create a universal approach and unity of purpose not only within the Odaka Yoga teachers, but also between various schools of differing Yoga styles through an international network of exchanges and events in common. Roberto and Francesca lead their classes through a "liquid" yoga approach, each wave-like move to overcame barriers or limiting beliefs, where emotional flexibility opens students up to endless possibilities for both body and mind. Their motto is: " We are not here to do yoga, we are here to become yoga". For Roberto and Francesca yoga is a lifestyle, energy in motion a total idea both on –and-off the mat. This methodology and message has produced a vast transformative potential for people worldwide

It's another week and another business opening in Decatur.
Bringing jobs with it, Kohl's celebrated its new-location, grand opening Wednesday night, and Thursday a new, top-of-the-line movie theater will open.
Carmike Cinemas is opening a 12-screen, "Big D, for Digital" experience - a first for Alabama.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Wednesday night.
With the theater upgrade comes a new area of job openings.
Carmike's marketing director, Terrell Mayton, said he is happy to be part of the economic boom in Decatur.
"It's been great. The Kohl's opening up down the road, and also Mellow Mushroom and a new Carmike 12 here at the Decatur Mall. You see all the new and different things that are happening and the construction on the roadways. It's just a really dynamic time in Decatur, and we hope to be part of the economic engine," said Mayton.
The new movie theater will open Thursday at 7 p.m.

The Bobby Bowden of old re-emerged briefly on Saturday afternoon as the embattled, 78-year old Florida State coach delivered a riveting halftime speech to inspire his Seminole team for the second half, while at the same time motivate himself to stay alive.
"So what if we're not going to win a national championship this year!†yelled Bowden at one part of his speech. "Just because we're down doesn't mean we're out! Right?! We still have something to play for! Pride! And we still have something to live for! And that's ... that's ... that is ... umm ... that would be ... well, I'm not quite sure anymore. But you have something to play for! So just put 'em in here, gentlemen, and lets say 'Seminoles' on three and have a good second half.â€Â
Florida State quarterback Drew Weatherford said Bowden's speech, despite having some low points, proved motivational for the team.
"We got the message loud and clear,†said Weatherford. "Coach Bowden probably isn't going to be around much longer. So soon we will have to play for his memory when he dies, so we better kick it into gear now. At least that's what I got out of it.â€Â
Bowden says that despite his efforts, he's not sure if he successfully motivated himself to keep waking up each morning.
"This football program that I built up is in the toilet and has been for a few years with no relief in sight,†said Bowden. "All I worked for is gone. My one son beats the crap out of me every year. My other son failed me as an offensive coordinator. And my other son is some sort of freakish, obese troll. Joe Paterno is passing me for all-time wins. I'm old. Really, really old. I'm losing my mind. The game long ago passed me by. I regularly crap my pants. 'Matlock' and 'Murder She Wrote' have been cancelled for years. I give up. I have nothing to live for. Death has been knocking on my door for years, and I think I'm ready to let it in.â€Â
Bowden says the only thing that truly inspires him to get out of bed each morning and keep his decrepit heart beating is the chance that he will turn on the TV and see that Paterno has passed on.
"Keeping that all-time coaching victories record is all that I have left,†says Bowden. "If only he would go, then I could finally give in, too. Sometimes when I nod off at practice or during games, I dream that Joe is dead. One of these days I may just decide to not wake back up.â€Â
Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. Mark Twain

The tech world is a slave to innovation and the hype that surrounds it. Everything is better, shinier, and more essential than the last wave. Buy in to the latest trend or find yourself washed out.
At least that's the sales pitch.
[ More cold water for IT management: Read about the 10 hard truths IT must learn to accept and the 12 hard truths about cloud computing | Stay on top of the state of the cloud with InfoWorld's "Cloud Computing Deep Dive" special report. | For the latest news and happenings, subscribe to the Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
Of course, not every hyped technology or IT strategy is snake oil. The main stew may very well be chock-full of awesomeosity. Alas, everything, no matter how wonderful, comes with one or more side dishes of problems, annoyances, and grief. The tech world loves to focus on the main course and forget about the helping of reality needed to balance out the meal.
What follows is an overview of the hidden dark sides of today's hottest tech trends. Consider it a stink-eye gleam on what's dangerous, unsettling, or outright horrible about the latest amazing ideas floating through the tech memespace -- and a heads-up on what IT should watch out for when the infatuation for the latest and greatest in IT technology and strategy wears off.
The hidden dark side of PaaS
The trade-off always seems better than it is. Forgo spending thousands of dollars to buy and host a server in favor of a subscription to a neat cloud-based service that's priced like a cup of coffee or, in some instances, a stick of gum. Heck, the neat service might even be entirely ad-supported.
The thought of renting technology for pennies is great even if it's just for a microsecond. Who wouldn't want to shop at the cloud five-and-dime instead of plunking down purchase orders for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars? Anyone who has had to recover from the collapse of one of these free or cheap companies, that's who. In many cases, the failure of just one service messes up the software you've written at four of the other PaaS offerings. They fall like dominos.
New tools like this are a real gamble for the people who work there and the people who buy into them at the beginning. They're fine for light experimentation, but the danger escalates quickly as your reliance on them for infrastructure gets at all serious. Even if they're willing to commit to a great SLA (service-level agreement), that's not worth much if they go out of business, quintuple the price, change any aspect of their infrastructure without providing meaningful, discoverable documentation, decide it's no longer cost-effective for them to provide backward compatibility or to support your quickly "aging" app.

Tokwa't Baboy is a dish composed of boiled pork (either or both pig's ears and pork belly usually) and fried tofu. The sauce made of vinegar and soy sauce gives life to this dish. Generally, this is considered as an appetizer and a side dish. Most people like to have their Tokwa't Baboy with beer or wine by the side while others love to have it with rice porridge such as Arroz Caldo, Goto, or a simple lugaw.
I personally like to have the sweetened version of the sauce. In order to achieve the taste, I just add a few tablespoons of sugar in the vinegar-soy sauce mixture. Also, I sometimes literally sip the sauce as if it is some kind of soup (It may sound weird but I know others who does the same too).
Try this Tokwa't Baboy Recipe.

Saints clash is "massive" says QPR's Granero
2:14pm Wednesday 14th November 2012 in Saints News
QPR midfielder Esteban Granero knows how important it is to beat fellow strugglers Saints this weekend.
The 25-year-old arrived from Real Madrid in the summer as one of a number of high-profile acquisitions made by the west Londoners, who only escaped relegation last term on the final day.
Another struggle is a predicament QPR had vowed to avoid this season, although they languish bottom of the Premier League without a victory in their opening 11 matches.
The Hoops hope to end that run on Saturday when they welcome 19th-placed Saints to Loftus Road and Granero is all too aware of its importance.
''We know this is going to be massive for us,'' he said. ''We play at home against one of our rivals. We know the supporters are with us and they deserve more than we are giving to them.
''All we can do is continue training hard and give everything on the pitch on Saturday.''
He added: ''I believe the first win will change everything. We are doing the correct things and that is why I think it's going to be better for us very soon.
''The beginning has been a little bit tough but I am sure it is going to get better soon.
''I am here to face this challenge. If people think I am not happy that I am here because we have not won yet, then they are wrong.
''We must work to get away from this situation and we are working hard for this. I am sure we will do it.
''I know the future is going to be good. Of course words mean nothing in football, but I will say that we are training very hard for Saturday's game and we are ready.''

point at whoever loses this match.
I think if Saints can win it will really inspire the team to move away from the relegation zone.
Good to have Cork back as i think he
strengthens the midfield.

Lost in the shuffle of Nate Diaz vs. Gray Maynard 3 last night (Sat., Nov. 30, 2013) at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 18 Finale and the crowning of a new male and female tournament winners, was the 25-second Featherweight bout between Akira Corassani vs. Maximo Blanco on the "Prelims" under card that ended in controversy.
After being overwhelmed by "Maxi" out of the gate, Corassani ate an illegal knee to to the face (see pic here) that eventually led referee Mario Yamasaki to stop the match and award the Swede with a win via disqualification.
Maligned by mixed martial arts (MMA) fans everywhere, the "grounded opponent" rule was in play when the knee was thrown. It is described as:
"Any fighter who has more than just the soles of their feet on the ground. For example, a fighter with one shin or one finger down is to be considered a grounded fighter."
It wasn't so clear, however, to Blanco, who curiously celebrated inside the Octagon and had to be informed by Yamasaki that he had in fact lost the fight. The Venezuelan fighter's coaches entered the cage and pleaded with the referee, insisting the rule was something that was "on its way out [of MMA]."
"He knees a lot when a guy is on his way up. Listen, I don't want to be disrespectful or anything, but he has done this before, this is not the first time, he does this all the time. He did the same thing to Pat Healy -- Pat had a heel hook on him one time and he starts stomping him in Strikeforce which is illegal. I understand he trains and lives in Japan, he has a lot of fights in Japan where you can stomp and kick to the head, I don't know maybe he doesn't understand the rules -- I know he understands the rules but maybe something in his head..."
In short, Blanco is a repeat offender. And that's a bad thing, especially since Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently parted ways with Rousimar Palhares following an extended submission hold on Mike Pierce, which was the final straw in a long string of questionable actions inside the Octagon.
Blanco is now 9-5 with one draw and one "No Contest." Two of his five losses have come because of disqualification, which doesn't count the defeat against Healy where he lost via submission following illegal kicks. The first, and most telling incident came at Sengoku 8 where he kicked Akihiko Mori very late.
Check out the .gif below:
If this, the Healy incident and the Corassani knee are not convincing enough, be sure to check out this forum post for a menagerie of "Maxi's" handiwork.
Are Blanco's tendencies dangerous .... and worth punishment?

"The guy beat the heck out of the back of Michael's head to the point where it was beet red," Kirkham told FanHouse. "The other fighter was warned two or three times by the referee."
Michael Kirkham lost that amateur fight in Columbia, S.C., on April 24 via a technical knockout, a bout he lamented on Facebook should have resulted in the disqualification of his opponent. Kirkham was given an automatic 30-day medical suspension for the TKO loss, but it doesn't appear that he followed up with a doctor.
Two days after the suspension ended, Kirkham -- known to his friends here in the Carolinas as "Tree" due to his 6-foot-9, 155-pound frame -- suffered a brain hemorrhage in his pro debut at the University of South Carolina Aiken Convocation Center on June 26. He died two days later at the age of 30.
"I told him he wasn't ready," Dennis Kirkham said. "He said, 'I'm fine, dad. I'm OK.'"
Kirkham's was the second death in U.S. history linked directly to a sanctioned MMA bout. He was checked out immediately before the fight by a ringside doctor, and an ambulance was stationed nearby. It's possible, however, that neither could have been capable of detecting or treating the damage inflicted in the previous bout.
"This could have been second-impact syndrome," said Dr. Joe Estwanik, former medical advisor to the North Carolina Boxing Authority and author of "Sports Medicine for the Combat Artists." "From a few days to three-to-four weeks after somebody suffers a significant blow to the head, a second blow can trigger an overwhelming response by the body that we still don't really understand. Even a minor blow could result in massive swelling of the brain and there's up to a 50 percent chance of dying."
Dr. Robert C. Cantu, a leading researcher on second-impact syndrome, said a brain scan done after the first fight may have been able to detect a brain injury, but such tests run well north of $1,000. That was certainly out of reach for Kirkham, who owed thousands in child support and hadn't held a steady job in years.
He was slated to make about $300 for his bout with Carlos Iraburo.
The rise in popularity of UFC in recent years has spurred a boom in the number of people training in MMA, and gyms have sprouted up around the country to meet the growing demand. Kirkham caught the MMA bug while he lived here a couple years ago, going as far as creating his own fighting crew called the Fayetteville Independents.
Friends said Kirkham was largely self-taught, reading MMA books and studying his favorite fighters, such as Chuck Liddell.
"He was a good fighter," said Albert Avery, who along with his brother, Moses, and cousin, Mark Papa, were members of the Independents. "I saw him take down a guy that outweighed him in 16 seconds."
"He was a good fighter. I saw him take down a guy that outweighed him in 16 seconds."
-- Albert Avery
Members of the Independents sparred wherever they could in and around Fayetteville -- in backyards, garages and makeshift gyms. Some trained for a short time at The Sports Center, a gym in Fayetteville where Kirkham worked for a few weeks last year.
"He was a good guy," owner Lee Tart said. "He did all kinds of stuff. He mowed grass, made sure the parking lot was clean and did some glass cleaning. Then, one day he didn't come to work. I couldn't find him."
Kirkham, who moved from Illinois to North Carolina after high school to pursue his dream of starting up a band, cobbled together jobs here and there to make ends meet. He had a running feud with his ex-wife, who remained in Illinois and was due $10,584 in back child support as of July 2007, when a judge ordered Kirkham to pay $511 per month in child support for his two children.
"I don't believe it's right that I should have to pay child support on children that I am being denied contact with," Kirkham wrote to a judge in an effort to contest the amount of child support due. "I [have] been kept from having any involvement in their lives for the past three years."
Through all the court documents obtained by FanHouse, Kirkham listed "unemployed" under occupation. Brandon Patterson, an Indianapolis-based MMA promoter who Kirkham leaned on for advice, said Kirkham didn't see MMA as a way out of his financial troubles.
"He got into it because he loved it and was good at it," Patterson said. "His financial problems had nothing to do with why he got into the sport."
Kirkham left town with his girlfriend late last year to join one of his brothers in Gaston, S.C. He kept in constant contact with members of the Independents, helping set up various amateur bouts and traveling as far as Tennessee for matches.
"He was the motivator and backbone of the Independents," Moses Avery said. "Every time we went to a fight, the Independents were considered the underdog team, but we never came home without a win."
Iraburo, Kirkham's opponent on that fateful night last month, followed a more traditional route to MMA. He began in martial arts at age 15, and at 18 started training in MMA, according to his bio. Carlos "Carlito's Way" Iraburo, who turns 28 this week, currently trains at Greubel's Mixed Martial Arts gym in Augusta, Ga.
At 5-foot-9, he gave up a full foot in height to Kirkham, although Iraburo had the more impressive amateur resume: A 4-0 record vs. Kirkham's 3-3.
"I kept trying to get him to quit. The simple fact he wasn't making any money and all his time was taken up training. I wanted him working construction to feed the kids."
-- Dennis Kirkham "With his size, I didn't want to stay standing up and risk taking a kick to the head," Iraburo told FanHouse. "I knew his strengths were going to be his kicks and his reach."
Iraburo had Kirkham down to the mat within seconds where Iraburo landed a few headshots, none considered illegal or out of the norm for an MMA bout. The referee called a stoppage to the fight about 40 seconds into the match.
"As the fight was ending, he wasn't limp," Iraburo said. "His head was up and off the canvas. It wasn't like he was already out."
But Kirkham soon lost consciousness and never recovered, despite attempts by medical personnel at ringside.
An autopsy found that Kirkham died from subarachnoid hemorrhage of the brain. Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton, who was not present at the autopsy, said the report showed no indication of a prior injury. But Cantu, the neurosurgeon based at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Mass., said such an injury would likely only turn up in a brain scan.
Cantu studied the brain of the first known MMA fighter to die from injuries during competition, American Doug Dedge. He suffered a head injury two days before the fight that took his life at an unregulated tournament in the Ukraine in 1998. The first MMA death known to take place on U.S. soil occurred in 2007 when Houston's Sam Vasquez died days after suffering severe head injuries.
Regardless of whether his final amateur fight played a role in Kirkham's death, Dennis Kirkham said he doesn't hold Iraburo responsible.
"Carlos didn't do anything wrong," Kirkham said. "He just did what any fighter would do. It could have been anybody in there. It's just one of those things."
South Carolina approved MMA last year, although the state's athletic commission's requirements fall short of the benchmarks set by Nevada and California. According to the American Association of Professional Ringside Physicians website, a full physical is not required to fight in the state, let alone an annual neurological exam that some other state commissions require.
Citing an ongoing investigation into Kirkham's death, South Carolina Athletic Commission spokeswoman Lesia Kudelka refused to comment.
The International Sport Karate Association sanctioned the bouts that night and the organization's commissioner, Robert Mason, told FanHouse that ISKA would follow the investigation closely. Mason didn't rule out that Kirkham, considered a lightweight despite being unusually tall for the weight class, could have put himself at a disadvantage. He added that restrictions on that basis would be tough to implement "unless the height-to-weight ratio was found to be a symptom of a specific genetic weakness or predisposition."
"I don't think of martial arts athletes as 'gladiators,'" Mason said. "There is no intent on the part of anyone to have these athletes suffer death or serious injury."
In the end, much of the onus for a fighter's safety lies with the fighter, according to Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer.
"You rely on the fighter to tell you the truth," Kizer said.
On his entry form, Kirkham left blank a question that asked if he had ever been suspended in any state.
It wasn't necessarily due to the dangers of the sport, but Dennis Kirkham had been doing his best to shift his son's focus away from MMA and onto a steady job.
"I kept trying to get him to quit," Kirkham said. "The simple fact he wasn't making any money and all his time was taken up training. I wanted him working construction to feed the kids."
His three children with his longtime girlfriend, including one infant, are in the process of relocating to Minnesota. The grieving process for the entire family is still in its early stages.
For those who trained and fought with Kirkham, he's more than a tragic MMA statistic.
"He got a whole lot of guys into [MMA] and he has inspired a lot of us to keep fighting," Moses Avery said. "No words could ever express the goodness Tree had in him."
A memorial fund has been established for Michael Kirkham's children. Donations can be made at michaelkirkhammemorialfund.viviti.com.

Revizto: Effortless 3D Collaboration in Revit
A product review by Michael Anonuevo
By this time, most of you must have come across or heard about Revizto. It is a revolutionary 3D collaboration program developed by Vizerra, a software company based in Moscow, Russia. Using the technology used in video games, it turns Revit models into interactive, navigable 3D environment.
I've never heard of Revizto until I got their promotional email late last year. After a quick search, I found out that there has been a buzzword on Revizto for quite some time now from popular Revit websites. Later on, I chanced upon a blog posted by my esteemed colleague, Jeff Pinheiro (therevitkid.com fame), where he posted an article entitled "Ultimate Guide to Revizto". Not to be left behind, I downloaded the free trial, read the Help files, and then tried Revizto. The first word that came out of my mouth as I was navigating a sample project from my iPad Air was "awesome"!
This article expounds on Jeff Pinheiro's Ultimate Guide and digs into a few details on how to use some of the software's great features. Although Revizto was designed for Revit and Sketchup, the focus of this article is how Revit users can use Revizto to their advantage.
2014 eBook Announcement
Hi everybody! You may be wondering when I will release the 2014 version of Creating Custom Revit Architecture Families. Unfortunately, I've had some personal setbacks which forced me to skip this version.
Early this year (2013), my youngest brother unexpectedly passed away. This was followed by the passing away of my oldest brother one month later. Coincidently, two of my close relatives also passed away. I needed some time to absorb these tragic incidents and that is why I stayed away from writing. The good news is I was offered a job as a Revit contractor in April, which I accepted. That helped tremendously in my grieving period as it made me extremely busy.
I am now fine and started writing blogs again. As soon as the Holiday season is over, I will definitely start writing the 2015 version of my eBook and will keep you posted. Thank you for your patience.

BIM. After Dark.
A product review by Michael Anonuevo
As the New Year is fast approaching, I want to add this final 2013 product review for Revit users. You may have seen or receive a notification from revitkid.com regarding a new website called BIM. After Dark. (www.bimafterdark.com).
Apparently, it is a separate website created by the owner of revitkid.com where users can purchase how-to videos pertaining to Revit presentation techniques. BIM. After Dark. (B.A.D.) is the brainchild of Mr. Jeff Pinheiro, the Revit guru who owns and runs revitkid.com. Like most of you who had followed and subscribed to revitkid.com, I got an email notification with a preview of a B.A.D. video. On December 10 last week, B.A.D. went live. Having viewed and learned a lot of tips and tricks from revitkid.com, I visited the site during the launch date and ended up purchasing one of the 3 video packages on sale. This article is a review of that video purchase.
The SpaceMouse Wireless
A product review by Michael Anonuevo
It's been three weeks now since the SpaceMouse Wireless was released on October 1, 2013. The SpaceMouse Wireless is 3Dconnexion's latest product. It is the world's first wireless 3D mouse that provides users with 3Dconnexion's superior and proven 3D navigation technology _without the restriction of the cord!
Being part of a select group of 3Dconnexion beta testers, I was sent a demo model a few days before the new 3D mouse was announced. To come up with this review, I temporarily replaced my SpacePilot Pro with the SpaceMouse Wireless and used it in an actual Revit project. For those who have not tried a 3D device, please check out the links to several articles I've written on all of 3Dconnexion's products at the end of this article. For experienced users, here's a close look at this wonderful new 3D mouse.
3Dconnexion Unveils the SpaceMouse Wireless!
The World's First Wireless 3D Mouse
_A Product Announcement by Michael Anonuevo
October 1, 2013: 3Dconnexion announced today its latest product _the SpaceMouse Wireless!
Aside from its navigation benefits, the obvious advantage of the SpaceMouse Wireless is that there is no cord to deal with, thus making our desktop less cluttered. It is the ultimate in portability as it can also be used with a laptop for those on the go. 3Dconnexion positions this product above the SpaceNavigator and SpaceNavigator for Notebooks.
Having written product reviews of all 3Dconnexion's products, I am one of the few fortunate ones to get hold of this device a few days ago, allowing me to write this announcement. Although I am already impressed by its capabilities, I will be testing the SpaceMouse Wireless furthermore this week and will publish a comprehensive review next week. For now, check out its features.

A Portable Revit Workstation
A Product Review by Michael Anonuevo
In the Revit family modeling eBook I'm currently writing, the chapter on Computer Configuration includes a discussion on desktop and laptop workstations. While I have enough material pertaining to desktop workstation configurations, I barely have any relevant information on modern mobile workstations. I do have a laptop –an Intel Core 2 Duo-based laptop with a 16″ screen, which I use as a third computer backup. But by today's laptop processor standards, it hardly qualifies as a mobile workstation (translation: obsolete!). Sure it runs Revit, but all functions are painfully slow.
With the gaining popularity of the new and more powerful Intel® Core™ i7 and Intel®Xeon® processors for the laptop, I needed information about them for inclusion in my eBook. I also wanted to write a review for the benefit of Revit users. Having previously dealt with BOXX computers in a review I had written on their XTREME 4920 workstation (http://www.clubrevit.com/2012/10/17/boxx-revit-workstation/), I reached out to their Director of Business Development, Shoaib Mohammad, who graciously sent me a laptop for review.
This article is about the GOBOXX G1840, a laptop classified by BOXX Technologies, Inc. as a mid-range mobile workstation. This model is part of their G1800 WS series. The laptop sent to me was a demo model used by Pixar in one of their trade shows. Knowing this, I expected this model to perform as a true mobile workstation, capable of running Revit and other graphics programs.
So does this model qualify as a desktop replacement? It's a resounding YES, so please read on for more details.
BOXX Revit Workstation
A Product Review by Michael Anonuevo
In preparing to writing an instructional eBook on how to produce Autodesk Revit renderings and walkthroughs, one of the things I did a few months back was conduct a research on computer systems optimized for these types of Revit tasks. It is a subject matter that I know will occupy a chapter on its own in the eBook. I've looked at brand names such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Asus. However, I could not find any computer system specifically targeted for Revit modeling. By chance, I ran into a colleague who suggested that I look into BOXX computer workstations (www.boxxtech.com). I had never heard of the company, although I found out later that they had been around for the last 15 years! As a full time Revit modeler who is always busy creating complex families or writing about them, I never really got into the details of a good Revit computer workstation. And so with this new eBook project, I had a chance to look at a workstation made for Revit. After emailing my credentials and review proposal to a BOXX specialist, I was connected to the right channels and eventually was sent a unit for evaluation.
This article is about the 3DBOXX 4920 XTREME workstation. At the BOXX website, this model is referred to as The World's Fastest Workstation for Autodesk Revit. On the internet, you'll find great reviews about this workstation, including its technical details and specifications. To avoid being redundant, the main focus of this review is how effective this workstation is for Revit Architecture users. I will, however, highlight certain features worth taking a look at.
Is this really the fastest workstation for Revit? How can we users benefit from this system? What makes this workstation special from the rest of the pack? How does this computer compare to yours or other workstations? These questions (and many more) are tackled in this review. If you are in the process of upgrading your Revit workstations or want to add a dedicated power workstation for generating renderings and walkthroughs, this article will help you decide which system to purchase.

Certified Autodesk Revit Architecture Professional
Get Autodesk Certified for $25
I continuously get asked how an individual can set themselves apart in todays job market. One thing I suggest to everyone is to get Autodesk certified and on July 21, September 22 and October 20 you can get Autodesk Certifications for $25 each. I recommend this for two reasons. First it is a great way to let a potential employer know that you are serious about the technology you use everyday. No matter what you think of the level the test, the certification says you took the time to take a test that measures your skill level of that technology. Second it helps develop the Autodesk certification process. If you look at the process of certification programs they always start slow and then become the industry standard. It was not that long ago when the Microsoft certification was something that only super nerds had. Today just try and get an IT job without one. So let me be a cheerleader and say let's get certified.
BTW I am both a Revit Certified Associate and Revit Certified Professional
To get the $25 pricing goto http://atc.gilmoreglobal.com/ to get signed up.

A long awaited update for the food:
They have really hit their stride the last year or so. The farm to table restaurant is a little played out now, but these guys do it right. On top of which, have actually greatly improved their menu. Like the beer, always rotating. Fried risotto and veggies. An amazing amount of flavor and textures. Lamb shoulder, one of the best pork chops in the city. A top 5 burger in Houston as well.
The beer selection is still good, just not as extensive as it was since D&T opened. I can't ever complain with Yellow Rose or Live Oak Hefe though. Oh yeah, and some Ola Duhb's on tap as well. Still one of my favorite bars, and over the last year, has become one of my favorite restaurants as well.
Original review 11/07/11
This is a great coffee house/beer/wine/spirit bar. They basically do it all. A nice open room of blue painted bricks as you walk in. Some sofas up front, booths off to the side, and some tables scatter about. A room off to the left for more of a private area. The wood bar is directly in the back. The bar back looks just amazing. Some nice art work on the wall with some other eclectic stuff, even an old periodic table of the elements in German, and various books about Darwin scattered about. Low music is playing, and no TV's. This is a really relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.
The service is good, quick, and friendly. They are knowledgeable about the beers as well as the rest of what they offer. The bartenders are well organized and on top of everything. Food is minimal. There is a bar menu that you can make a mixed meat and cheese plate, and a pretty kick ass burger (awesome). The rest of the food is simple and light with sandwiches and soups. Certainly good and well made, I usually go for a bit hardier meal when I am out though. I believe the menu rotates with the seasons as well.
On to the beer! An all around great selection of 12 taps that always rotates. Jubelale (on nitro), 512 Pecan Porter, Three, and Wit. Real Ale Morgul and WT3F (only place in Houston I have seen carry that). A handful of Live Oak, Karback, and some Stone all rotate in and out. Some Trappist/other quality Belgian beers make it into the mix as well as Boulevard Smokestack offerings on occasion. They also have a Sour Sunday. A special on sour beers and cocktails. One of the best smaller selections I have seen in Texas, and the quality can't be beat. All fresh as can be, correct temps, and glassware.
I can't believe I did not find this place sooner, or here anything about it. Just a great place that I feel comfortable enough to sit and relax all day with an amazing selection. Hard to beat that.

An iPhoto Slide Show on CD
How can I burn a slideshow that I made in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro onto a CD?
You can export the slideshow as a video (a QuickTime movie in Apple parlance) and then burn that video to your CD.
Here's how: In iPhoto, after you've created the photo slideshow, with titles, music and so forth, click on the "Export" button at the bottom of the slideshow-creation window. Choose an option for the resolution of your movie and click "Export."
Then, choose a destination on your hard disk where you'll temporarily store the movie. Next, insert the recordable CD, and copy the movie into the window representing the CD. Finally, click on the "Burn" button at the upper right of that CD window.
I have recently gone almost all Google: I moved my business email to Google, am using Google Docs, etc. I am in need of a new laptop and am considering a Google Chromebook. My question / concern is: What about programs I may need, such as iTunes, or some printer / scanner software, or an accounting suite? Will there be room for some of these programs and if so, will they operate on Chrome OS?

A Durham man wanted for murder was arrested by members of the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force on Friday morning, Durham Police said.
They also arrested a second man who was wanted on drug and child abuse charges. Both men were arrested at the Extended Stay America on Tower Boulevard.
Durham police detectives charged Christopher Terrell Stanback, 25, of Summit Street with murder in the June 18 shooting death of 37-year-old Jermaine Andrea McDonald.
Officers were
dispatched to a shooting call in the 100 block of North Hyde Park Avenue at
11:40 a.m. on June 18. When they arrived, they found McDonald lying in the
street. He had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers also arrested Cephus Stanback, 27, of Hart Street who was wanted on several orders for arrest/true bills of indictment for drug and other charges. The charges included possession of marijuana and cocaine with the intent to manufacture, sell or deliver, fleeing to elude law enforcement officers, careless and reckless driving, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, child abuse and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The charges against Stanback stem from several incidents earlier this year.

I don't know, its just too perfect. I wonder how much of it is real. I mean its too perfect for a live performance. Sounds incredible and the pic quality is insane! I enjoyed it but i have only watched it 3 times and now i'm bored of it. The best part has got to be the comical documentary. "Howard Jones black man" its hilarious! I'm glad to see everyone has a sense of humor! Oh and the band Red Tide is incredible and everyone should be checking their music out. They are not together but I pray they do at least one reunion show. Justin Foley on the drums in Red Tide is truly out of this world. You gotta hear it! Red Tide was a band no one knew about back then but today they are the talk of the town. The KSE DVD is probably a good rental at best. It depends on how die hard you are about them.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
KsE is my #1 favorite band(although they departed with old singer Jesse Leech shortly after getting into them….which is explained also in the dvd by the way)This disc has great footage and lots of it.behind the scenes a documentary and all the videos..even one I havent seen!My only gripe with the disc is this..Its widescreen which is great..BUT the sound is only in digital stereo NOT 5.1,like so many others are..oh well,I guess.Everything else is perfect though,camera angles and all.I've seen them 4 times so far live and this disc sums it all up for anyone who hasnt had the pleasure of seeing them…amazing!BUY THIS DISC!
Killswitch Engage isn't for everybody. People into softer music might find them too hard and true metalheads (whatever those are) probably find them too soft. That's the beaty of KSE though. For most of us, their hard edge backed by melody is enough to draw fans of all genres. Those who are fans are diehard though. A great combination of energy and songs filled with emotion.
{Set This} World Ablaze is an amazing DVD. A solid DVD filled with not only an amazing on stage performance but a surpisingly good Documentary of the band. I didn't even expect a documentary about the band on this DVD, but boy am I glad it's there.
The documentary is the gem of this DVD and that's saying a lot considering how good the performance on stage is. It was great to see the evolution of the band. It's especially good to see how they still have such a good relationship with Jesse David Leach, former frontman of KSE.
I remember back in May of 2005, Adam D. mentioned that there was no plans for a dvd. But I guess sooner or later like most bands, they figured they had to do it. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Words can't even describe how great KSE's dvd is. All of the music videos are included (big plus), and an incredible in-depth documentary on the band with so many different artists (Unearth, God Forbid, Lamb Of God, Shadows Fall, Soilwork, and In Flames to name a few) and their takes on the band, as well as some words from former frontman Jesse David Leech. The setlist for the show was perfect, nothing but the best songs they've ever done…and did I read some people mentioning "overdubs?" Who cares if the sound is too perfect? Enjoy it for what it is, this may as well be the best show KSE has ever done.
Other honerable dvd mentions:
Machine Head – Elegies
Cradle Of Filth – Peace Through Superior Firepower
Soulfly – The Song Remains Insane
Anthrax – Alive 2 (2005)
Lamb Of God – Killadelphia
Shadows Fall – The Art Of Touring (awesome if you're a strong fan of SF and enjoy bootleg-like footage, otherwise stay away)
And yes, I mean music and movie dvd's. This dvd is amazing. Being a fan of Killswitch Engage ever since their debut came out on Ferret, I HAD to buy this. A huge documentary, I think it's something along the lines of an hour and a half, tells the story of how the band formed from many different bands, to Jesse leaving, to right now. It includes all the music videos, which is great. The bonus features are great, and often humorous, especially when their roadie gets naked and crawls into bed with Jordan, the drummer of AILD, who is passed out asleep. And the greatest thing about this dvd, is the amazing live show they play. They sound fantastic live. The show is about 75 mins and never lets you down.
I'm sure some of you have read what I just wrote about how well they sound live and are saying to yourself "Oh they over dubbed the concert, blah blah blah". I have seen plenty of live Killswitch Engage videos that weren't "overdubbed" and they sounded fantastic. My friend has also seen them a few times and has told me how amazing they are live.
For all of you complaining about the "overdubbing" and how lame it is, did you even buy the dvd? If you did, and you can actually read, you will realize that it says "Live DVD Audio Mixed By Adam Dutkiewicz at Zing Studios" and "Audio Mastered By Drew Layne at All Digital. NYC Oct. 3, 2005." So of course the big show they have on here is going to sound well. Anything is going to sound great if Adam is in charge of the sound. (You hear about this in the dvd.) And I bet that almost all of the music dvd's you complainers buy has a live show that is "overdubbed" or mixed and mastered.
All in all, I love everything about Killswitch and their dvd. They are one of the few bands that you never have to skip a track when you are listening to any of their cds. I highly recommend this to any Killswitch fan. It is a must have and is definitely worth the money.

Travel and food go hand in hand, which is why I've compiled this list of my favorite things I've eaten in cities foreign and domestic. They aren't all exotic, but they are what I crave when I recall the place. Here are my best bites:
- Edinburgh, Scotland—Turkey sandwich, Metropole Café. I bet you thought I'd start this off with something classic, like haggis. But I was twelve. And I'd never had a turkey sandwich before. (I was a late bloomer.) I wish I could list something infinitely more British (a trip-long addiction to boiled eggs mostly just kickstarted my egg cup collection). You'll understand, this kind of discovery can have a huge impact on your life. I do believe that I was changed for the better. Multigrain bread, smoked turkey, sprouts. Flavors and textures I'd never even known could be combined! It was a profound moment for me, a real game changer. Traveling really can broaden your horizons… or just widen them to normal standards.
- Vienna, Austria—Roast goose and red cabbage, Bierfink. A ten-minute tram ride away from downtown's Ringstrasse, the Bierfink is a wonderful, off-the-beaten path restaurant most frequented by locals in Austria's capital city. In Vienna, you'd think I'd be all-in for the pastries (and I was (two words: apfelstrudel)) but the dinner I remember best was my first roast goose, dripping with fat and served simply with tangy red cabbage. Wash it all down with a locally brewed Ottakringer. You have to order this bad boy ahead, but it is worth the experience. It's Christmas Goose, in the old country!
- Dingle, Ireland—Potato wedges, some pub somewhere. Just please. Potatoes. Ireland. You won't even believe it.
- New York, New York—Appetizer platter, Kabob Café. Baba ganoush, hummus, fried lettuce, apple slices—admittedly it sounds like a mess, but wrapped in pita the flavors and textures of Chef Ali's appetizer plate are exceptionally clean and balanced. Stop in for taste, quality, and experience.
- Oakland, California—Fentons ice cream. Let me put this simply: CCAC, or Cream Caramel Almond Crunch.
- Boston, Massachusetts—Steak quesadilla, Anna's Taqueria. Boston is not the town for Mexican food. I tried to find worthwhile Mexican there for three years before giving up. (Truth: I didn't try very hard after the first few attempts went so awry.) I contented myself with the notion of heading home to Chicago, where real Mexicans would prepare real Mexican food, for real good prices. Luckily for me, and every college kid in Beantown, there came a wondrous surprise: Anna's taqueria makes delicious, cheap Mexican food. I'm partial to the quesadilla, which (as far as I can tell) is only different from the burrito in that there is a layer of cheese melted onto the inside of the tortilla (then topped with fresh pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, rice, beans, and tender steak). Tin foil never held such bounty.
