Microsoft has always positioned Hyper-V to be a less expensive alternative to VMware. Now the software giant says that with VMware's new VRAM-based pricing, it calculates a private cloud built on Microsoft can cost up to $70,000 less than one built under VMware's licensing schemes.
The calculations are based using a two-node cluster hosting three VMs per processor (a total of 12 VMs in the cluster). Microsoft says a private cloud built on Windows Server 2008 R2, Hyper-V and System Center will cost $18,480 using Microsoft products. The same configuration will cost VMware customers $72,918, Microsoft says. For higher-density VMs, 6 per processor/24 per server, Microsoft says its costs won't change, but VMware will charge $95,790.
[ In the data center today, the action is in the private cloud. InfoWorld's experts take you through what you need to know to do it right in our "Private Cloud Deep Dive" PDF special report. | Also check out our "Cloud Security Deep Dive," our "Cloud Storage Deep Dive," and our "Cloud Services Deep Dive." ]
BACKGROUND: VMware backpedals on price changes after customer criticism
These prices are based on a lot of configuration assumptions, including Windows Server 2008 R2. The whitepaper says:
"If this scenario is licensed through Microsoft ECI Datacenter
- You'll require four ECI Datacenter licenses (as there are a total of four physical processors) and the two hosts can run three VMs per processor (a total of 12 VMs in the cluster).
- You'll not need to pay separate licensing fee for each VM running in your environment, as ECI Datacenter edition includes Windows Server Datacenter, which supports unlimited virtualization rights. This means that you have the use rights to run an unlimited number of virtualized instances of Windows Server on processors licensed with Windows Server Datacenter without purchasing additional licenses. Similarly ECI Datacenter includes System Center SMSD, which supports management for unlimited number of VMs.
- Your total cost (License + 3 year SA) will be - $4620*4= $18,480
"If this scenario is licensed through VMware Cloud Infrastructure Suite, you'll require
- • vSphere 5.0 licenses ($6,117/processor)
- license for vCenter Server ($8,742 per instance)
- to pay separate licensing fee for every VM in your environment for vCenter Operations, vCenter SRM, vShield, and vCloud Director ($1,906 for every VM)
- Four Windows Server Datacenter licenses to run guest Operating Systems ($4,209 per processor)
- Your total cost (License + 3 year SnS) will be $6117*4 + $8742 + $1906*12 + $4209*4=$72,918"
At the 24 VM density rate, Microsoft calculates the separate licensing fees for vCenter Operations, SRM, vShield, and vCloud to be $1,906 multiplied by 24, hence the hefty increase in price.

I reckon there's a lot of people reading into the format what they needn't.
On paper I'd say that the teams aren't that strong. However, if anything, this adds to the interest in the cup I reckon. There is a fairly decent number of teams who could pull off a key win here and there and blow the competition wide open. Its anyones game at the moment.
SA - Probably the best team of the lot on paper but will choke obv.
India - Very strong I reckon but I think its all down to how well their bowlers can contain opposition batsmen.
SL - Not a bad team and quite strong. Leaving out Randiv from the squad weakens them slightly IMO.
NZ - I reckon but they have a lot of players who could raise their level with the bat. Its their bowling which appears to lack something though.
Pakistan - No idea what they'll end up doing tbh. Underestimate them at your own peril.
WI - Another difficult team to rate. All it takes is a Gaylestorm or two and they'll be winning games here and there and surprise everyone.
AUS - Weaker than what they were before obviously but by no means a pushover. May even go on to win it and prove everyone wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.
ENG - Very strong team coming into this competition. They've been very good for a while now.

And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
marc71178 - President and founding member of AAAS - we don't only appreciate when he does well, but also when he's not quite so good!
Anyone want to join the Society?
Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
Plus set up a succession of relatively dull and predictable games.
Even if 1 of the 2 had made it through it would have been less tedious.
Upsets do not make a tournament boring FFS.
It depends - the actual upset isn't boring, but the result of the upset can be (as shown by the super 8s last time)
Blame the teams that didn't show up.. not the ones who beat them, and hence fully deserved their places in the Super 8. Besides, Bangladesh did beat SA in the Super 8's as well, so their place was no less justified than England or W. Indies, who did very little of note.
Once I got over the disappointment, I found it quite refreshing TBH.
I forgot there was a World Cup going on once India got knocked out.
This time, with 8 teams advancing and each team playing 6 games the chances of upsets are reduced considerably.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change
It makes no sense to me that it takes 42 matches to determine who the best 8 teams are when everyone knows who those teams are, and a further 7 to decide who the best out of those 8 is when that spot is still totally up for grabs.
But on the other hand, I'm liking all the cricket Ireland get to play.

Jenny Rosenstrach — a food writer and editor, mother of two, and founder of Dinner: A Love Story — knows a thing or two about the the subject. And lucky for us, she's offered to share her seven fabulous tips on convincing the kids to eat. Read, learn, and see if your next family dinner isn't just a tad bit more manageable. Source: Thinkstock Invest Them Up Front in Food Shopping What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'm all for having them cook with you, too, but convincing them to pick things out with you at the ground level — the supermarket, the farmers market — is a lower maintenance (and a much less messy) proposition than having them stir the spaghetti sauce all over the stove top. Source: Flickr User USACE Europe District 1 / 7 Apply Broccoli Logic What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If all else fails and the only thing you can get your kid to eat is a hot dog, apply the "broccoli theory." It goes like this: no matter what the broccoli (or kale or quinoa) is sitting next to, it will magically transform the dinner into something you can feel good about feeding your children. Source: Flickr User jules: stonesoup 2 / 7 Make Sure There's Always Something Familiar on the Plate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I call this "psychological latch" food, like tater tots or one of those parbaked Trader Joe's dinner rolls. If you are going to make pizza with clams or poached eggs, make sure at least one half of the pie is a classic marinara and mozzarella. It's just not fair to spring something like veal scallopini on them without an anchor. Source: Flickr User Sebastian Mary 3 / 7 But Veal Milanese — That's Another Story What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Anything Milanese is likely to knock their socks off. (Try this sure-to-please recipe for chicken Milanese fingers!) Source: Dinner: A Love Story 4 / 7 Point and Cook What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you are cooking from cookbooks or blogs, have the kids flip through the pages or scroll through the slideshows and tell them to point to what looks good. Of course, you run the risk of it not looking exactly like the picture, but at least their heads are in the right place when they sit down. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 7 Repackage, Respin, Rebrand What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Name dishes after people. Replicate favorite restaurant dishes. When it's time for sandwiches, use your waffle iron. We've turned grilled cheeses and regular old bologna sandwiches into edible masterpieces that way. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 7 Never Answer When a Kid Asks "What's For Dinner?" What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Especially if it's something new. Just repeat these words: "I don't know yet." Giving a kid some time to think about a dish that they potentially hate or that is just downright mysterious gives them a window to formulate an argument against the food — and also gives them time to convince you to make them something else. Repeat: "I don't know yet."

Call for Papers – Journal of Florida Studies, Vol 1, Issue #3
SAVING FLORIDA: The Humanities Speak for a Sustainable World
The Journal of Florida Studies, an open-access online journal, announces a new themed issue that will offer thoughtful and provocative analyses of global/local environmental and social issues by questioning the way environment and culture are represented in humanities and non-humanities disciplines alike. Nature is not merely outside us, out there; we are nature, but we habitually define and construct nature through texts and language, a nature that suits our needs to distance ourselves from her.
While we gladly accept essays and studies about ecological conditions of our planet and our state, we are also asking our contributors from the humanities to expose and analyze our habits of thinking and the often dualistic assumptions we make about ourselves, our communities, and the world we live in. The sciences offer us the hard data we need to understand our world, and the humanities teach us that acknowledging how we think about a problem is the first step in solving it.
Humanities methods include (but certainly are not limited to) the deep reading of texts and signs, the construction of meaning through interpretation, the exploration of material and visual culture and human practices, quantitative analysis, and the study of knowledge construction itself. This analytical perspective is a vital part of any on-going work in creating a sustainable future for Florida and for the planet.
We welcome papers from all fields:
- languages and literatures
- philosophy
- creative writing – fiction, poetry, non-fiction
- religion, environmental theology
- Rhetoric, ecocomposition
- ethics
- history
- fine arts—video, photography, music
- gender and sexuality studies, ecofeminism
- the theory, criticism, and history of the arts
- social and economic theory
- environmental science
Please see Journal of Florida Studies Manuscript/Art Guidelines: www.journaloffloridastudies.org
Email manuscripts/art work to Casey Blanton, Editor in Chief: email@example.com by January 10, 2014 for a Summer 2014 publication.

Police on Long Island say they have busted a homeless man who was caught on a surveillance camera stealing packages.
It happened Tuesday afternoon in West Babylon.
Suffolk County police say the homeowner's surveillance camera captured the image of a man walking up to the front door and stealing two packages that had been delivered to the door.
The homeowner called police. Officers were able to determine the man was Christopher Breitkopf. They arrested him at 6:45 p.m. in West Babylon.
Breitkopf, 38, who police described as homeless, was charged with larceny.
He was scheduled to be arraigned in Central Islip on Wednesday. It was unclear if Breitkopf had a lawyer.

[News]: Shoot Many Robots Album Available; Find Out Why Rich Vreeland Is A Cool Guy
[Destroying evil rampaging robots is fun in its own right. The sound of gunfire and the satisfying clinking of bullets striking metal in Shoot Many Robots won't be the only sounds you can start listening to. You'll get all of the games hard-rocking, robot-killing music flowing through your ears soon.
For those of you who enjoyed the music of Shoot Many Robots well you'll soon be able to get your hands on the games soundtrack.
Scored by famed video game composer Rich Vreeland, AKA Disasterpeace, the rough-and-tumble blues which accompanied the game was released a few days ago. Disasterpeace collected a group of talented blues musicians to create a 16-track record to continue accompanying your robot destroying carnage.
Disasterpeace also provided the music for fellow indie game Fez. Though it isn't the tough, gritty rock of Shoot Many Robots, the airy light music helped bring Fez's beautiful game world to life as much as the visuals did. Vreeland has also been a part of many other indie games such as the most recent Bomberman title and Bonk while working at Singapore-MIT GAMBIT.

Sugar Bits - Marilyn Manson & Evan Rachel Wood?!
Sugar Bits - Marilyn Manson & Evan Rachel Wood?!
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 41 Reactions 1 Shares Print
- In latest WTF news, Marilyn Manson is said to be dating 19 year old actress Evan Rachel Wood. We hope Dita gets all those cats she wants. - People
- Brooke Burke and fiance David Charvet welcomed their first child together on Monday, daughter Heaven Rain Charvet. That's quite a name to have to live up to. - US Weekly
- Howard Stern has just been given another $83 mil in stock by Sirius radio for exceeding subscriber growth targets. That makes his total compensation over $700 mil. That's just silly money now. - NY Post
- Rumor has it Pat O'Brien is about to be bumped from The Insider due to the publicized disgusting messages he left on a woman's voicemail in 2005. He'll probably just get his own talk show. - Gatecrasher
- More than 200 people showed up to bid on Whitney's belongings at at auction in New Jersey. The final tally was not released but her see-through piano went for $20K. Hopefully she made enough to pay off her debts! - People
Evan Rachel Wood
Cuppitycake 5 years
Ok P.S.....Manson without makeup? FOUL! There are pics to prove it, really I think he looks better with it. Also, why is it that EVERY girl he gets with or marries suddenly turns into a sickly, pale person? Let's hope Wood holds onto her blonde hair, i.e., her individuality. I do agree that Von Teese is beautiful, and she actually was very pale and 40's like when he married her, so she gets a pass with me. Other than that, I do like Manson's music, I just hope to GOD it's a shocking act for stage! But I think it isn't, as he sleeps during the day like some creep Vampire! YIKES!

Personally I like both Wood & Manson. So, more power to em'.

all i can think of when i see Rachel Evan Wood, is that scene in 13 when she is staring at her mom saying, "no bra, no panties". Maybe that's what hooked Manson. ew.

OK, let me get this straight. Manson gives up a beautiful *woman* like Dita for a girl who's still a teenager? How screwed up is that? This guy is doing some heavy drugs obviously.

Wowzers...Evan Rachel Wood could do sooooooo much better than Manson. From what I've heard he's an alcoholic and just scary...I mean the age is gross but that doesn't bother me as much as him being with her.
dvdsky81 7 years
D@mn double posts...and I was just thinking...Manson probably would not be that bad if he's stop wearing that stupid makeup when not on stage. He's actually a really intellegent man. I despise his music, but I love his interviews that Ive seen and things that Ive read that's he's participated in. He really does have a good head on his shoulder's and to hear him speak-he's not half as scary as he seems musically. He has many viewpoints and observations that I totally relate to. I wouldn't mind meeting him and I can see how someone would be attracted to him for his mind and personality..Just get rid of that stupid make-up...He looks like an idiot which makes it really hard to take him seriously, especially at his age..

Dita is so gorgeous. Something about her just makes her seem so...strong, confident...something. I cant place my finger on it and cant really find the words.. How can you go from someone with such a beautiful, powerful presence to....Evan Rachael Wood....WTF??

Evan only looks lovely and ladylike because she is totally imitating Dita (or making a pathetic effort to). Every photo I've seen of them together, she's trying to wear Dita style clothing, and copy Dita's facial expressions. She must carry around a photo album of Dita and practice in front of the mirror!!! LOL Heaven Rain. Why don't they just go all the way 80's and use the Def Leppard school of spelling - Heavyn Rayne. LOL It sounds like a stripper name.

Brooke Burke just cannot give her child a somewhat normal name. What's her first born's name? I think Neriah or some crap like that. I think the only type of doctor I'd ever want to be married to is a cosmetic surgeon, so I still can't see why she left hubb #1. Evan: boo honey. BOO. Go Howard. That is absurd, but good for him. Pat O'Brien should work for Fox News. He and O'Reilly have so much in common other than obvious heritage.

And it's completely charming.
The company started the quirky campaign in March of this year with a commercial that suggested IE was the browser you used only to download another, better browser. That spot, from CP+B, featured a guy ignoring his up-for-it girlfriend while he tried to uninstall Explorer from this PC. (The joke, for non-nerds, is that you cannot uninstall Explorer from a Windows machine.)
In the new commercial, a basement dwelling geek -- signified by a lava lamp, an ET doll, double screen setup, etc. -- attempts to troll Microsoft by repeatedly leaving the message "IE SUCKS" on comment boards and Twitter.
The company responds by extolling IE10's virtues, including "IE adopts an island of kittens and donates them to children everywhere!!!" Check it out:

Introducing São Paulo
São Paulo is a monster. Enormous, intimidating and, at first glance at least, no great beauty. It's a difficult city for the traveler to master and one that may not seem worth the sweat. Even the most partisan paulistano – resident of São Paulo city – will rail about the smog, the traffic, the crumbling sidewalks and the gaping divide between poor and rich.
But in the same breath they'll tell you they'd never live anywhere else. Let them guide you to their favorite haunts and the reason for this will begin to unfold. Maybe they will introduce you to the city's innumerable art-house cinemas and experimental theaters. If they're gourmands, you'll focus on the smart bistros and gourmet restaurants that make the city a world-renowned foodie haven. If they're scenesters, double up on espresso before embarking on a tour of raucous underground bars and the 24/7 clubbing scene. Whatever pleasures you might covet, Sampa – as the city is known – probably has them in spades.
This fertile cultural life is supported by Brazil's biggest and best-educated middle class and further enriched by literally hundreds of distinct ethnic groups – including the largest community of people of Japanese descent outside Japan, the largest population of Italian descendants outside Italy and a significant Arab community fueled mostly by Lebanese and Syrian immigration. There are one million people of German stock and, as well, sizable Chinese, Armenian, Lithuanian, Greek, Syrian, Korean, Polish and Hungarian communities. Sao Paulo also has the largest openly gay community in Latin America. Brazil's melting pot is quite hot indeed.
An estimated 20 million people live in greater São Paulo, making it the third-largest metropolis on earth. The numbers are dizzying: first-rate museums and cultural centers (150), world-class restaurants (12,500, covering 52 types of cuisine), experimental theaters and cinemas (420). Sampa's nightclubs and bars are among the best on the continent (15,000 bars make for one hell of a pub crawl) and its restaurants are among the best in the world. Its relentless, round-the-clock pulse – a close cousin of London's or New York's – can prove taxing even for the fiercest hipster. Then again, it may just deliver the charge you need to discover one of the world's great cities.

Jani Stefanovic is a fricken genius. How can one man compose and arrange every instrument on this album to shear perfection? Don't forget about Christian Älvestam. Have you ever heard such a beast on vocals. Prepare to be pummeled to a pulp by this must-have metal album of the century!!!!
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
How can a band this talented do an album this good and no one has reviewed it yet? Probably because they are a christian band. If anyone is into Scar Symmetry then know that Christian Alvestam does the vocals on this and they are sicker then ever. Jani Stefanovic, who plays with Divinefire as well as others handles most of the instruments with a little help from some friends. This thing just smokes! Clear production, massive double bass drumming with all the technicality of the aforementiond Scar Symmetry or a Communic. The price is a little high, but if you like this style at all it's a great album with no duds.

Watching the Carolina Panthers with Marty Hurney at GM there has always been one constant- the offensive line. While the quarterback position was in flux, and running backs were rotated in and out, there was always the underlying reliability of the line. For the first time in a long time we enter the 2012 season with serious questions about the players charged with protecting Cam Newton.
Jordan Gross and Ryan Kalil are always the mainstays, but from here the water gets far murkier. The off-season decision to part ways with Travelle Wharton and Geoff Schwartz leaves the Panthers with a unit relying on youth, and crossing fingers that the injury bug wont bite.
Underpinning this move is the more overall movement inside the organization that shifts the focus away from guys like Wharton and Schwartz (the 'jack of all trades' types) and focuses more on specialists. Players who have clear deficiencies in their games, but who also have huge ability in one key area. Ultimately this will give the team a far higher level of talent overall. It's far more valuable to have a team populated by players who are 'As' in one or two areas, rather than 'Bs' across the board. This is part and parcel of the process to move from a middling team, to a championship one,
More after the jump
One of the best free agent moves the Panthers made last year was bringing Geoff Hangartner back into the fold. While he's not an elite talent, he's an extremely good pass blocking guard, even if he's not a road grader in the passing game. Conventional wisdom would be to put Hangartner at LG where his pass blocking abilities could be best utilized, but with the lack of pass blocking talent the Panthers have at RT it's imperative they use his skills over at the RG spot.
The backup spot at RG will be fought for between last year's UDFA Bryant Browning along with Roger Allen who was signed earlier this year. Over at the left guard spot we have a lot more questions. Rookie Amini Silatolu will almost certainly be the starter out of the gate at the LG spot- where his ability as a pulling guard will pay dividends immediately. As it stands he's not a very reliable pass blocker, but sandwiched between Gross and Kalil this deficiency will be mitigated. We've talked ad nauseum about Silatolu's 'mean streak', but I have the feeling fans will come to love him on Sundays.
Behind Silatolu will be a competition between FA signing Mike Pollak, and UDFA signing Will Blackwell. Both Pollak and Blackwell are decent run blockers, but far better in the passing game. This could be one of the tightest battles in all of training camp, but I think Pollak may make the cut, while Blackwell is stashed on the practice squad.
Projected Depth Chart at Guard
LG: Amini Silatolu/ Mike Pollak
RG: Geoff Hangartner/ Bryant BrowningThere is some youth and uncertainty, but a lot of talent in this group also. It make take a few games for Silatolu to hit his stride, but long term I think this is the start of a fantastic unit, even if the Panthers will need to look for a long term replacement for Hangartner in the 2013 draft.

Following on from the Five Foreign Brands article, we also need to take a look at Chinese brands that look set to excel in 2013. Chinese manufacturers have undergone a spiritual awakening in the past four years, many have realized that they cannot rely on the Chinese market if they are going to become automotive giants, at worse they will be snapped up by a stagnant state owned auto maker that will try to push them into the planned economy mold and at best they can hope to achieve some minor sales in markets that the big auto manufacturers ignore for one reason or another.
1. Chang'an
Chang'an have all the hallmarks of a company that are heading in the right direction. The company's own brand of cars has hit the mark the first in their second generation of cars by using widely sold cars such as the Hyundai Elantra as a benchmark, plus they have realized that foreign help is one of they key elements to gaining access to global markets, Chang'an have set up an R&D center in the UK, USA and have a strong design studio in Beijing that are cracking out cars such as the new Raeton, CX35 SUV and EADO sedan, perhaps the names are not the best sounding but Chang'an are racking up sales in the Chinese market with the last two vehicles
2. Great Wall Auto
We cannot have a list of strong Chinese manufacturers without adding Great Wall to the list. The Baoding based company have solidified their lead as the SUV manufacturer of choice with a string of strong selling models such as the original H3 SUV, and the more recent Haval H6 SUV. The Wingle range of trucks has proven to be popular in China and also in other key markets such as the UK and in Australia, and Russia where there is strong demand for rough and ready trucks that can be fixed at the side of the road if anything goes wrong. GreatWall have invested a great deal of money into engine technology, with 1.5T and 2.0T gasonline engines and also 2.0T and 2.5T diesel engines being installed in their products. Later this year Great Wall will expand its range of SUV's with the introduction of a flagship H7 SUV, a full size SUV that is expected to carry a 2.0T gasoline engine and retail for within 200,000RMB. Who would have thought that the frigid cold lands in Baoding, 200km south of Beijing, would become such an automotive powerhouse?
3. BYD Auto
BYD became one of the most talked about car companies in 2008 when its BYD F3 sedan seemingly came from no where to become China's best selling vehicle. The F3 fell from fame to infamy relatively quickly when dozens of quality concerns emerged, at that time BYD was living a North Korean like Juche Philosophy, if they could make it in house they would and BYD got to work producing everything from dashboard molds to seats, but being a master at everything was relatively difficult. After a much needed soul searching session, and healthy investments from Warren Buffet, the car company once again began to buy in parts and developed its own range of engine tech and dual clutch products. BYD may have the long term goal of selling electric vehicles, but in the short term gasoline sipping turbo assisted units are the way forward, BYD have already launched their first 1.5T which features direct injection in the BYD Su Rui and a 2.0T is going to launch in the first half of 2013, probably in the S6 SUV.
4. Geely
Geely's multi brand strategy launch mirrored Chery's in every way possible, but only one of those strategies has born fruit, Chery is actively planning to kill off its brands whilst Geely's are thriving. Emgrand was introduced as a mid to high range brand, Englon would sit in the middle as an affordable range and Global Eagle, aka Gleagle, would take to foreign shores. The Emgrand name might be slightly unusual on the ears but its raking in sales in a big way, the compact EC7 sedan and hatchback are regularly selling over 10,000 units per month and the larger EC8 is holding its own as well. In 2013 Geely will add a much needed MPV and SUV to the range, both have been aired several times at the Beijing and Shanghai Auto Shows but haven't yet made it to production. Geely will also introduce a 1.3T engine to the Englon and Gleagle range in 2013 along with several new models.
5. Guangzhou Auto / Beijing Auto
This is supposed to be a list of just five, but both Guangzhou Auto and Beijing Auto deserve to be mentioned. Guangzhou Auto started its Trumpchi brand with a second hand Alfa 166 platform from Fiat which came as a deal sweetner for the Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture. GAC are putting that platform to good use with the introduction of a sedan and SUV, both of which seem to be holding their own in the sales ranking especially the SUV. In 2013 GAC will launch two new models, including a sub compact vehicle and also more turbo assisted models.
Beijing Auto's own sub brand, Shen Bao, (the Gentlemen's Treasures) might have a name based on innuendo but the range seems to be quite solid. The Saab 9-5 and 9-3 architecture that Beijing Auto bought in from Saab in 2010 when Saab were busy cleaning out their IPR cupboard and trying to stay alive was put into good use at Beijing Auto, the forthcoming G70 sedans look decepitvely good. An Audi Q5 SUV is also being made from the same platform, and the much awaited Beijing B40 Wrangler-alike is also set to hit the market. I once asked a Beijing Auto executive just exactly what was taking so long in developing their own range of cars, he told me that Beijing branded cars had to be the best in China, and highly competitively on the world market as they represent the capital of China. From what I've seen so far, Beijing Auto seems to have lived upto its own mission statement.

Griner scores career-high 28 as Mercury beat Shock
Originally published: Jun 20, 2014 - 10:26 pm
Penny Taylor had 19 points, including 10 in the first quarter, for first-place Phoenix (9-3), which led by 15 in the second half before having to hold off the Shock. Tulsa pulled within six in the final 7 minutes.
Glory Johnson had 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Shock (4-7), who lost back-to-back nights to Los Angeles and Phoenix after winning four straight.
Tulsa center Courtney Paris added 15 points and 15 rebounds.
Phoenix improved to 5-1 at home and kept Tulsa the league's only team winless on the road at 0-6.
Skylar Diggins, fifth in the league in scoring at 18.9 points per game, was held to 12 on 4-of-15 shooting. She had seven assists.
Coming off a big night on Wednesday in a win over Minnesota, Griner shot 12 for 14 from the field, grabbed four rebounds and added six blocked shots.
The second-year standout had a then-career-best 27 points and career high-tying 18 rebounds against the Lynx.
The teams split their first two meetings this season, each having won at home.
The Mercury led by as much as 11 in the first half but Tulsa closed to 45-38 at the break, led by Johnson's 12 points.
Sparked by Taurasi's four-point play, the Mercury ran off a 16-4 spurt in the third quarter to open up a 65-50 lead with 3:30 left.
However, Tulsa bounced back with its inside game as Paris got a couple of easy putbacks to pull the Shock to 66-59 going into the final period. The margin could have been closer but Jennifer Lacy missed three of four free throws in the final minute of the quarter.

Region Specific Image Rollover
For the first time in a long time, I've encountered a project with a single image that has many regions. Each region is a polygon, and will bind to a unique rollover event. That rollover event will pull back data for each region. For the past few days, I've been brainstorming ways to pull this off.
I've thought of using a hidden image in a canvas with a black background, and a different color foreground for each region. Then, mapping the color the proper region data on the backend.
I've thought of passing a huge Javascript object with keys that relate to a position in the image, and values that define the region data.
Initially, I dismissed the idea of a good, old-fashioned image map, in an attempt to find something sleeker and sexier. But perhaps this is the best solution?
Would love to hear your thoughts on this...
Oct 18, 2011, 16:00 #2
This is a total cheat, and probably not feasible with the image size, but one technique would be to set up the image map, and then use JavaScript to swap out the src of the <img>. You'd have to store each rollover state as its own image, though... In retrospect, not such a good idea.
I'm just not a fan of recreating browser features. You're trying to build an image map, so why not just build an image map? Stupid rollovers.I'm the web overlord for Graphic Business Systems

Artefacts that turn up in unexpected places, objects that appear to be much older than Good Archaeology would allow, evidence of high technology in the remote past… all these things excite Bad Archaeologists, but for all manner of different reasons.
Out-of-place Artefacts
Many Bad Archaeologists make extensive use of 'out-of-place artefacts' or 'archaeological erratics'. The purpose of drawing these artefacts to their readers' attention is to cast doubt on the orthodox interpretations of the past that have been developed by archaeologists, usually by questioning what they wrongly perceive to be a linear view of cultural evolution or by trying to undermine conventional chronologies. Occasionally, they are used to cast doubt on models of human evolution (either to demonstrate the creationist claim that humans were created a little over six thousand years ago on the sixth day of Genesis or to demonstrate that humans have been around for billions of years or originally came from elsewhere). More frequently, they are used to cast doubt on the origins of technological civilisation and to show that phenomena such as electricity were known and exploited in the distant past. A few have used them as evidence for time travel or clairvoyance.
What constitutes an out-of-place artefact? William Corliss provides a list of criteria for inclusion in his compendium of 'archeological anomalies':
- the object must have an unexpected age (too old or too young),
- be in the wrong place (Roman artefacts from Mexican sites),
- have an unknown or contested use,
- be of anomalous size or scale,
- have a composition that would not be possible with current understanding of ancient technology (aluminium in ancient China),
- possess a sophistication not commensurate with those models (electric cells in ancient Parthia),
- or have unexpected possible associations (mylodon bones from Argentinean caves suggestive of domestication by humans).
Corliss also lists 'affiliation', which he defines as "similarity in style… ancient pottery in Ecuador resembling Japanese pottery", which is effectively the same as his criterion of locality. Most authors are very liberal in their interpretation of these criteria and even more so in their definition of artefact: in their catalogues of such objects, they regularly include human (or other hominin) remains and sometimes even animal remains.
Most out-of-place artefacts do not fit in to the neat categories discussed on the rest of this site, as they have been used in diverse ways to buttress the wide variety of fringe views explored there. Even so, they are interesting and some of them are worth examining in their own right. Many of them are not even artefacts, if we follow a strictly archaeological definition of the term; some are ecofacts (animal and plant remains) and others are structures. Looking at a selection of them will reveal patterns showing how fringe writers use them and how their interpretations differ from those of conventional archaeology. It will also become apparent that the same pieces of evidence are used to bolster very different interpretations and that a controversial interpretation made by one antiarchaeologist becomes established fact in the writings of those who depend on them.
Human (and other) remains
Animal (including human) remains are perhaps the least popular items in this diverse collection. However, they are popular with creationists for obvious reasons: if it is possible to show that humanity has been around since the early days of the earth (whether six thousand or billions of years ago), then by their logic, it adds weight to the claims of special creation.
Artefacts are things made or modified by human beings, which may or may not have a 'practical' purpose. Some are portable, others are not. Things such as petroglyphs and inscriptions fall into the latter category.

If I am to be honest, I have to admit that I am a huge sci-fi freak. I love the idea that there could be aliens, Bigfeet and an ancient civilization that lived on the Earth millions of years ago. One of my favorite series, "The Saga of the Pliocene Exile" by Julian May, follows the adventures of time-travelers who go back far enough in time that they believe they will leave nothing for modern archeologists to find. The premise is very interesting to me, because if we look at the objects and fossils that scientists have discovered we see there is just not a whole lot there. Scientists are notoriously hard-headed and stubborn, unwilling to relinquish their theories even in the face of good evidence. Case in point: the controversy over how long ago ancient native Americans came to North America, particularly the Clovis-as-first versus the pre-Clovis theories (http://www.pbs.org/opb/timeteam/sites/topper/diary_adrien.php). Researchers have been digging and investigating sites around North America for over a hundred years, and not until recently have they found good, hard evidence of peoples inhabiting the continent before the accepted date of approximately 12,000 to 14,000 years ago. This can only mean that stuff just doesn't hold up well to the ravages of time. We're only talking tens of thousands of years! This leaves me with the possibility that that there could have been an ancient civilization and we simply have not yet found evidence to prove it. This does not mean that I believe every story of OOPARTS, but it's intriguing!
I'm not a Christian, but neither an Aetheist, yet I have read and explored the Old Testament which specifically mentions an ongoing 'program' of human intervention by otherworldy denizens. Obviously this can be taken as human myth legend and storytelling, but if you read the Old Testament it contradicts itself by mentioning 'special Creation', then details the practically free acts of non-earth beings, i.e., the Nephilim.
The argument then should be 'Evolutionary Intervention Vs Special Creation'.
But then i feel that the argument contradicts itself even more-how do we believe a God made Man, but we do not believe that the same God, or close associates has had period intevention in human development.
Consider a genetic argument: Specific tribes of Isreal according to the Old Testament were'chosen', and a covenent was made in which all sons were circumcised as a sign of this covenent. The development and evolution of the tribe/s in particular by God are described in detail in the Old Testament, especially since the Garden of Eden exile………….any thoughts?
Seems to me what an Out of Place Artifact is or OOPART as some call it fondly, is an Anomaly. And if the OOPART has been determined by those who study, analyze and investigate it as an anomalous artifact or feature then I feel that person and that artifact merits it's anomalous discovery status and all the questions that befall it whilst be respected for their theories as long as based on demonstrable facts and data gathered. I believe a person or the discoverer/s and investigator/s have the right to do this whether they be an archaeologist, geologist or any person who is scientific or not. All human beings have a right to knowledge. Isn't the by-product of archaeological practice enrichment of the culture and people's knowledge and awareness, socioculturally, universally and consciously.
History shows that revolutionary changes in Science, modern and ancient have come about in the wake of findings and phenomenon that at first were found to be anomalous or out of place. Anomalous findings and observations are what paves the way for revolutionary changes in current accepted thought and what can transform current paradigms!
I have two ideas about this. First idea. We have been at the level of technology that we have today before. Maybe many times before. Something happen and the RESET button got hit. Just look how fast we went for horse and buggy to jet planes. That could have happened many many times over the past millionnot years. Second idea. Time travel is real. It may or may not be a machine but could be a odd fact of time its self. It may of may be be something that can be controlled. It maybe a random thing and that is why we do not have time travelers visiting us to doday.
Like Angela Conti I find the idea of a civilisation that existed millions of years ago to be inspiring. However the best case I could find, the Dashka Stone, about which I wrote some time ago http://alexk2009.hubpages.com/_aayawa/hub/Mysteries-of-the-Map-of-the-maker seemed to hit a wall fairly rapidly, and I remain intrigued but skeptical of the idea of a 123 million year old relief map of the Urals. There IS an anomaly or mystery here but for me the mystery is as much where the discoverer has gone.
I also argued (http://alexk2009.hubpages.com/_aayawa/hub/Would-we-recognise-Lemuria-if-we-found-it) that the passage of time would render many artefacts unrecognisable. I speculated on whether anyone would be able to recognise the existence of advanced technology if they found a CPU that had been in the ground for a million years or so. Bottom line: a really ancient civilisation could be undetectable simply because of the passage of time.
I find the majority of revisionists, even those that try hard to be rigorous, lack really strong arguments for their case: often 20 minutes (max two hours) on Google is enough to refute their ideas.
Are there any OOPARTS that cannot be explained in conventional terms without straining credulity?

The Church: What's the Point?
September 24--27, 2008
Many today who believe that the local church is irrelevant, obsolete, and meaningless also appear to be clearly interested in spiritual issues. These seemingly contrasting positions raise the following questions:
- Does the local church in the USA meaningfully reflect what Jesus had in mind when He established the church?
- What is it that this generation of young Christians sees, or does not see, that has led many of them to abandon the local expression of Christ's church?
The Bryan Center for Critical Thought and Practice will address these and similar issues when it considers the question, "The Church: What's the Point?"
