Definitely looking forward to it, Selfish Machines was quite enjoyable
yeah, while is was lukewarm on a Flair for the Dramatic, Selfish Machines was fucking awesome.
Digging: Jessie Ware - Tough Love
I can't stand the singer of this band.
This so much
that voice is such a clarion call for scene pussy
didn't realize these scene bands were still around
Wouldn't really say they're experimental, but still excited for this nonetheless. Might listen to Selfish Machines today.
me neither, but wikipedia did and i figured that would piss off more sputnikers than "post-hardcore" (which they're not either)
selfish machines was pretty decent
i love this article
high hopes for this since selfish machines ruled
Oh god no. Singer needs to die.
Digging: Flying Lotus - You're Dead!
I wouldn't say they're experimental but they are definitely proggy.
but this is kinda cool. Don't listen to this stuff much but I might check it out for kicks.
excited for this
haha this band is awful fuck these emo fags
^thats what i was looking for
has only heard one song
I actually saw them live back in like 2009 right when they released their first album with Emarosa right after they got Jonny and Four Letter Lie with Breathe Carolina headlining. Those young carefree days as a scene freshman were the best. Pretty great show actually.
gabe you put the fresh in freshman
I was talking about how they need a new album a few weeks ago. Sweet.
sweet, selfish machines was good
definitely dug Selfish Machines.
Gabethepiratesquid is a fag lol
Experimenting in new ways to suck
Brilliant band, the only thing that can be off putting is the vocals, but once you can stomach that it's all uphill from there. Band gets a lot more hate than it deserves, their songs are generally really well written. Selfish Machine fucking ruled, I spent ages listening to it. Besitos is a great single to listen to.
treb have you ever listened to this band? nvm prob not
they are pretty gay...
i actually really enjoy A Flair for The Dramatic, caraphernelia is good tho, album name is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay as fuk

Sachin Tendulkar shares an average fan's disappointment after Team India's early exit from the T20 WC but he strongly disproves the backlash it has generated back home. Tendulkar said he was disappointed with India's failed title defence but at the same time felt the fans back home needed to show more "responsibility and balance" in their reaction. "I feel there is very high emotions among the people when they react. But do these reactions help us to play better? not really. These actually put more pressure on the players. We have got to be mature and be with the team," Tendulkar said. "No one can change the past but always can learn from it and do better in future. I think, We should react to the success and failures with lot of responsibility and balance. If we do that it becomes easier for everyone," he told 'Times Now' channel. Tendulkar was here, along with his family, to cheer the Indian team. But the side under Mahendra Singh Dhoni could not win a single Super Eight match and crashed out of the tournament, which triggered a backlash in India with fans questioning Dhoni's leadership and team selection. Even Dhoni's apology to the nation after crashing out of the event could not placate the agitated fans who burnt his effigy in his home town Ranchi. Tendulkar said he could understand their feeling but could not fault the team, for it had tried its best. "I am also disappointed along with the nation. I am sure that the guys planned and tried well, but things sometimes don't click," Tendulkar said. "Disappointment will be there. But I am sure the team will put the best step forward to get the rhythm again. If everyone back home stands behind them, the team may become a formidable one," he added.

A rural Good Thunder man who served 30 days in jail after crashing into a hay wagon full of people in August of 2011 is now being sued by one of the people injured in the crash. Three people were seriously hurt when the car driven by 24-year-old Joshua Jerald Bateman crashed into the tractor pulling the hay wagon, and then the wagon, which had 17 people on it at the time. It happened about 2 miles north of Good Thunder, and Bateman had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit at the time. 43-year-old Gina Urban has now filed a lawsuit against Bateman, saying she received permanent injuries in the crash. She is seeking $50,000 for medical costs, lost wages, and physical and mental pain. She is also seeking punitive damages because Bateman was drunk at the time. He had been ordered to pay $4,900 in restitution as well, which has not been paid at this time.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma and actor Abhishek Bachchan, who worked together in "Naach", "Sarkar" and "Sarkar Raj" target="_blank">Sarkar Raj", will join hands again for the remake of the Telugu film "Businessman".
"Finally it's confirmed...me and Puri Jagannath together are making the remake of the blockbuster Telugu hit 'Businessman' with Abhishek Bachchan," Varma tweeted.
Jagannath has also written and directed the original movie, which starred Mahesh Babu and Kajal Agarwal in the lead roles.
Varma is currently working on "Department" where southern star Rana Daggubati will be seen as a grungy policeman - a role that was earlier reserved for Abhishek Bachchan.

Any chance for Dementieva against Serena?

I guess the title is self explanatory, your thoughts?

I am a Serena fan and a Venus fan. However when they lose I always give credit to the player who beat them. Elena thoroughly deserved to win on Sunday; she deserves all the credit because beating Serena is never easy. I just find it ridiculous when people call Serena 'the biggest choker in history.' To some extent every player chokes now and then, they are human. Some could say Henin choked in the Wimbledon semis this year. But let's be honest here, Serena is absolutely nowhere near the biggest choker in history. Those players don't win slams when their 18 (US Open 1999) Nevertheless, detracting nothing from Elena's win, Serena hasn't been physically fit since 2002/2003, perhaps even 2004. She needs to clean up her act even more and work her ask into shape. (Ask is put there deliberately I am sure you can work out what it is suppose to say )

About the'ask', she says there's little she can do about it. But I agree, issues around fitness keeping raising there ugly head. Her susceptibility to injury is a worry also. She looks too 'heavy and bulky', she has to tone down.

That's true; there isn't much she can do. Looking back at her matches from 03, she has always had the big 'ask' However she was 10X more in shape back then. Interestingly enough, Navratilova made comment on her shape this Wimbledon. She said she doesn't see the muscle in her legs anymore, and her movement was lazy compared to how it was in her prime. But I suppose Serena doesn't see it, if only she could return to the old Serena.

posted Oct 16, 2007
personally i think her body aesthetically looks better than it did when she was in her prime but obviously her tennis has got to come first if she wants to return to the top of her game. The suseptibility to injury is probably due to her age because she started playing sport so young. If she just had 1 great year left in her

Find your best beach vacation!
Updated 11/14/2013
This favorite among Östermalm locals is a block from the elegant waterside, a few steps down from street level. Inside, the black-and-white tile floor, white-painted stone walls, wood tables strewn with candles, and green-glass lamps make the place feel relaxed and approachable. Owned by the well-known chef Erik Lallerstedt, the restaurant serves Swedish dishes. A lower-priced menu is served in the pub section.

Have lived in Stockholm 2 years and by far have had my best dining experience at Bakficka. The food was tasty, the atmosphere cozy and the waitstaff hands down the most professional; leaving not one detail unnoticed or water glass not filled. This restaurant holds high standards so customers´ dining experience is only the best. Would definitely recommend Bakficka. And, have heard the homemade meatballs are the best in town!

Magic Review – Unwritten – Lyndon Jugalbot and Sans Minds
This a review for the effect Unwritten, which I recently bought and have mixed views on. Continue reading…
The Effect
This is a way to make any message appear written on the edge of the cards.
It could be a card revelation, but it doesn't have to be.
You can either drop the deck onto the table or the spectator's hands, or your shake the deck and the words appears.
I wanted to get it because I've seen Paul Gertner's Unshuffled but that requires the correct faro shuffles, so this is a much easier method. Creating a personalised message for an event / promotion etc… is a major advantage to this type of routine. That's why I got it.
Unshuffled is mentioned in the credits.
Included is the gimmick and the DVD.
I paid £17 from magicianfx.co.uk and I got free postage as I spent over £40 in total and a free DVD.
Other places are selling it for £24 + P+P. That's expensive! I'll explain why in a minute.
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
2 or 3
You need to handle the gimmick correctly and you probably want to do a better card force than the one shown on the DVD.
I like the effect and I like the method. It's simple to do, easy to repeat and I think it will get a good reaction. This is a trick that I can see myself performing.
It's definitely a working routine if you have space for a new trick in your repertoire. You do have to bring the gimmick in and out though if you are going to be performing another card trick before or after.
Tip - I saw a friend of mine performed this for me before I got it and he only showed one side of the deck! That made me think that the writing was on the other side, even though I didn't clearly see him turn the deck round. You can turn the deck around and show all sides. You should!
Here's what I really don't like. The DVD is 13 minutes long and about half of that is the introduction / performance / and then teaching a swing cut!
OK, I understand that people want to see the trick performed and that beginners might want to learn a simple control / force, but the DVD is just completely useless.
There's also the 'crafty bit' where they tell you how to stick two cards together with tape. It's so bleeding obvious, I didn't need someone to show me! Not that you can easily make the gimmick yourself anyway.
I would have much preferred if they had posted the performance video online (for free) and then sold the gimmick alongside a one page printed instruction sheet (that's all it takes to explain it – it's that simple). The cost would have been reduced massively and they could have sold it for £5 and still made a profit.
Why does everything have to be on DVD – it's a waste of money, it's a waste of resources and it's a waste of the space in my house.
People should learn to read and then this could have been in a book with twenty more great ideas.
Here's another important consideration. If you're going to use this a lot, you will want to buy a refill at some point. Three refills are $60 / £35 – That's expensive for what it is, and considering that you have already presumably "paid for the secret." I also worry that if you love this trick and want to do it for many years to come, how long before they stop making the gimmicks! You really do want to learn magic with props you can get consistently.
I like the trick, but I'm annoyed at the commercialisation of it.

I just grabbed a sample of my batch of cherry cider (1 gallon cider, 8 oz of cherry concentrate) and it seems to be going well. OG was 1.060, and it's already down to 1.000... this stuff is done!!!
I tasted the sample, and it seems like it will be good. It's pretty tart right now, but there's a good cherry flavor hiding in there.
What's the flavor profile on a cider usually like at 1 week?
Do you plan on backsweetening to counter the tartness? Plan on adding any tannin? Just curious. Regards, GF.
I think I'll definitely be backsweetening it, as I like a little sweetness, and theres none in there now! I'm actually surprised how well this munton's ale yeast attenuated out... I was thinking I would get at least a couple points left over, but it chewed through everything. I did pitch this batch pretty heavily (not on purpose- i meant to divide the envelope evenly between both containers, but this one got a little more)
What do tannins give you? I'm familiar with the flavor, but I've never heard of directly adding it... hmm, I'll have to do some more research on that.
don't bottle it yet.
Simple sugars and juice can get below 1.000 pretty easy.
As for the tart, in 3 months the tart won't be so tart. At 6 months it will be a smooth cherry flavor.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The University of Tennessee published the latest volume of President Andrew Jackson's correspondence.
Professor Daniel Feller compiled the papers which focus on the tumultuous year of 1831 and include documents from the National Archives, various other libraries and some previously unseen records held in private hands.
The ninth volume of papers details the "Petticoat Affair," a scandal involving the wife of Jackson's secretary of war that caused the president to demand the resignation of his entire cabinet. It also details Jackson's hostile relationship with Vice President John C. Calhoun, the president's infamous Indian removal policy and the public reaction to the Nat Turner slave rebellion.
The papers also reveal that Jackson anonymously wrote newspaper editorials in favor of his policies and tell the story of Jackson's hatred for fellow Tennessean Davy Crockett.

Dell to focus on expanding sales capacity, emerging markets
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Dell Inc Chief Executive Michael Dell said in an interview with CNBC on Friday the focus of the company, which he is taking private, will include expanding sales capacity and growing in emerging markets and tablets.
Dell, who won a battle with activist Carl Icahn to win control of the computer company, also said he will shift from a quarterly focus to a "five-year, ten-year focus."
He does not foresee a Dell entry into the cell phone market.

Scarab Links Egyptian Pharaoh to Copper Mine in Jordan
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA—Scholars from the University of San Diego discovered an Egyptian scarab bearing the name of the Egyptian pharaoh Sheshonq I on the surface of the ground at Khirbat Hamra Ifdan, an ancient copper factory in southern Jordan's Faynan district. "Most of the time, they were amulets, sometimes jewelry, and periodically, they were inscribed for use as personal or administrative seals. We think this is the case with the Sheshonq I scarab we found," Thomas E. Levy of the University of California, San Diego, told Live Science. The scarab may have been lost during the pharaoh's legendary military campaign in the region 3,000 years ago, which is mentioned in inscriptions at the Karnak temple complex in Thebes. Sheshonq I may also be represented in the Hebrew Bible as the Egyptian king "Shishak." Levy and his team had previously identified a disruption in copper production in the Faynan district with the excavation of rock layers in the area of an ancient copper slag mound at Khirbat en-Nahas that were dated with high-precision radiocarbon dates. "The scarab we found that bears Sheshonq I's name is the first time we can definitively link the disruption to his forces," Levy announced.

Remains of Enslaved African-Americans Found at Nashville Zoo
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE—An examination of nine sets of human remains removed from the grounds of the Nashville Zoo suggests that part of the property had once been a cemetery where enslaved African-Americans were buried. Shannon Hodge of Middle Tennessee State University found that all nine were under the age of 50 when they died. Six had arthritis of the knee and/or spine, indicating that they had carried heavy loads, and one young man had a damaged hip that may have been caused by the stress of heavy workloads at an early age. Archaeologist Larry McKee of TRC Companies Inc. found buttons, beads, and other artifacts dating between the 1820s and 1850s when he conducted the original excavation. "I'm thoroughly certain that what we've got now is part of the enslaved community using that as a burial ground," he told The Tennessean. To read about escaped slaves in the Great Dismal Swamp, see ARCHAEOLOGY's "American Refugees."
Roman-Period Village Excavated in Poland
KROSNO, POLAND—A village dating from the third to fourth centuries A.D. has been discovered in the Carpathian Mountains of southeastern Poland. At the site, archaeologists have uncovered a large kiln. "It stands on a small tip in the Wisloka Valley. Its location shows that the wind blowing from the river was used to maintain the temperature during the firing cycle. Such kilns are extremely rare in the Carpathians," archaeologist Tomasz Leszczyński of the Subcarpathian Museum told Science & Scholarship in Poland. Fragments of large vessels that were used to store grain were also recovered. To read about people who lived in the Carpathians and Balkans during this period, see ARCHAEOLOGY's "Thracian Treasure Chest."
Satellite Imagery Shows Damage to Syria's World Heritage Sites
WASHINGTON, D.C.—An analysis of high-resolution satellite imagery by the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS) shows that five of Syria's six World Heritage sites have been severely damaged since 2011, when the civil war began. "Only one of Syria's six World Heritage sites—the Ancient City of Damascus—appears to remain undamaged," Susan Wolfinbarger, director of the Geospatial Technologies and Human Rights Project at AAAS, told Science Daily. The buildings of Aleppo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, has suffered extensive damage. The Ancient City of Bosra, the Ancient Site of Palmyra, the Ancient Villages of Northern Syria, and the castles Crac des Chevaliers and Qal'at Salah El-Din have all been damaged by mortar impacts and military activity. "There is hope, and it lies with our Syrian colleagues because they are the stewards and caretakers of these sites, and they see the value in preserving and protecting them for future generations," said Corine Wegener, cultural heritage preservation officer for the Smithsonian Institution. "What they need from their international colleagues is some help to do that—training, materials, and other support in the international arena for the notion that it is possible to mitigate and prevent damage to cultural heritage, even in the midst of conflicts." To read more about Syria's rich archaeological heritage, see ARCHAEOLOGY's "Temple of the Storm God."
Byzantine Monastery Unearthed in Israel
JERUSALEM—A walled compound dating to the Byzantine period has been discovered west of Jerusalem, in the neighborhood of Bet Shemesh. The compound, which has residential and large-scale industrial areas, may have been used as a monastery. "The finds indicate the local residents were engaged in wine and olive oil production for their livelihood," excavation director Irene Zilberbod of the Israel Antiquities Authority told the Xinhua News Agency. Several colorful mosaics were found in the residential areas—one featured a cluster of grapes surrounded by flowers and set in a geometric frame. Two ovens were also uncovered. "The magnificent mosaic floors, windows, and roof tile artifacts, as well as the agricultural-industrial installations inside the dwelling compound, are all known to us from numerous other contemporary monasteries," Zilberbod said. To read about a recent, similar discovery, see ARCHAEOLOGY's "Byzantine Mosaics Discovered in Israel."
Bronze Age Fulacht Fiadh Excavated in County Sligo
COUNTY SLIGO, IRELAND—Part of a fulacht fiadh, or 4,000-year-old box-like structure, is being studied on Ireland's Coney Island. Eamonn Kelly, director of Irish antiquities at the National Museum, thinks it may have been used for bathing or cooking during the Bronze Age, when the stone-lined pit would have been filled with water and heated with hot stones. "It tells us that people walked the beach here 3,000 or 4,000 years ago, searched for large stone slabs, and carefully built this structure. Many other archaeological sites probably await discovery on Coney," Ciran Davis, an archaeology student who alerted researchers, told The Irish Times. Radiocarbon dating should offer the team more information. "It makes us wonder why they would have wanted to heat saltwater," added Marion Dowd of the Institute of Technology Sligo. To read more about fulachtaí fia, read ARCHAEOLOGY's "Letter From Ireland: Mystery of the Fulacht Fiadh."
Prehistoric Goldsmiths May Have Been Children
WILTSHIRE, ENGLAND—Researchers think children may have been responsible for embellishing the finely decorated weapons and jewelry discovered in the early nineteenth century at the Bush Barrow burial mound near Stonehenge, since sharp eyesight would have been required to cover a wooden dagger handle with 140,000 tiny gold pins. "Only children and teenagers, and those adults who had become myopic naturally or due to the nature of their work as children, would have been able to create and manufacture such tiny objects," eye expert Ronald Rabbetts told The Guardian. The largest concentration of such decorated daggers has been found in northwestern France, where the children may have lived and worked. Rabbetts thinks that the gold workers would have eventually been disabled by their task. To read more about discoveries at Stonehenge, see ARCHAEOLOGY's "The Henge Builders."
Genetic Study Reveals Third Group of European Ancestors
CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS—A new genetic study by researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of Tübingen suggests that early farmers from the Near East and indigenous hunter-gatherers were joined by a group known as Ancient North Eurasians as the ancestors of modern Europeans. The team analyzed the DNA of more than 2,300 modern people from around the world, and the DNA of eight ancient hunter-gatherers and one early farmer whose remains were recovered in Sweden, Luxembourg, and Germany. Previously gathered genetic sequences of humans from the same time period, including Otzi the Iceman, were also used in the study. "There was a sharp genetic transition between the hunter-gatherers and the farmers, reflecting a major movement of new people into Europe from the Near East," David Reich of Harvard Medical School told Science Daily. The DNA of the two known Ancient North Eurasians, whose remains were discovered in Siberia, wasn't found in either the hunter-gatherers or the early farmers, but nearly all Europeans have ancestors from all three groups. "The Ancient North Eurasian ancestry is proportionally the smallest component everywhere in Europe, never more than 20 percent, but we find in in nearly every European group we've studied and also in populations from the Caucasus and Near East," he explained. (The same Ancient North Eurasian group has been linked to the ancestry of Native Americans.) An even older lineage called the Basal Eurasians, the ancestors of the ancient Near Eastern farmers, was discovered as well. "This deep lineage of non-African ancestry branched off before all the other non-Africans branched off from one another. Before Australian Aborigines and New Guineans and South Indians and Native Americans and other indigenous hunter-gatherers split, they split from Basal Eurasians," Reich said. To read more on genetic lineages of Europeans, see ARCHAEOLOGY's "Seeds of Europe's Family Tree."
Shipwrecks Tell Story of California's Past
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA—Members of a NOAA research team used remote-controlled cameras and sensing equipment to investigate the shipwrecks in the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and the adjacent Golden Gate National Recreation Area. They were able to identify the SS Selja, which sank after a fatal collision in 1910. The resulting legal case was ultimately argued before the U.S. Supreme Court over a key aspect of maritime law, the "rule of the road." The Gold-Rush era clipper ship Noonday was also found beneath mud and silt on the ocean floor. An early steam tugboat has yet to be identified. "These wrecks tell the powerful story of the people who helped build California and opened America to the Pacific for nearly two centuries. Finding the remains of these ships links the past to the present," James Delgado, director of Maritime Heritage for the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, told Phys.org. To read more about Delgado's work, see ARCHAEOLOGY's "Letter From Bermuda: Secrets of a Civil War Shipwreck."
Hairstyles from Akhenaten's Ancient Egyptian City
CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND—Archaeologist Jolanda Bos of the Armana Project has analyzed a selection of 100 recently excavated skulls from the Armana cemetery. Twenty-eight of those skulls still had hair, including that of one woman who had "a very complex coiffure with approximately 70 extensions fastened in different layers and heights on the head," Bos wrote in the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology. She thinks that the hair was probably styled after death, but such elaborate styles, held together with some kind of fat, were also likely a part of daily life. The skulls had hair ranging from very curly black to middle brown straight, which was often styled in rings or coils around the ears. Braided styles were simple, narrow, and made from three strands, and an orange-red color, possibly from henna, was found on one woman's graying hair. "At present we are analyzing the hairs in order to find out whether or not some kind of coloring was used. On other sites dyed hair was found from ancient Egypt," Bos told Live Science. To read about the search for Nefertiti's tomb at Amarna, see ARCHAEOLOGY's "In Search of History's Greatest Rulers."
Richard III's Injuries Suggest He'd Removed His Helmet
LEICESTER, ENGLAND—A new study published in The Lancet concludes that Richard III suffered 11 wounds—nine of them to the skull—at the time of his death at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. The team of forensic scientists from the University of Leicester used whole body CT scans and micro-CT imaging of injured bones to see which of the wounds might have been fatal, and to determine which weapons had caused the injuries. "Richard's injuries represent a sustained attack or an attack by several assailants with weapons from the later medieval period. The wounds to the skull suggest that he was not wearing a helmet, and the absence of defensive wounds on his arms and hands indicate that he was otherwise still armored at the time of his death," professor of materials engineering Sarah Hainsworth explained to Science Daily. Two of the blows to the head, one with a sword or staff weapon, and a second made with the tip of an edged weapon, were probably lethal. An injury to the pelvis may have been inflicted after death, according to archaeologist Jo Appleby, because the king would have been wearing protective armor if he'd still been alive. Guy Rutty of the East Midlands Pathology Unit adds that the "head injuries are consistent with some near-contemporary accounts of the battle, which suggest that Richard abandoned his horse after it became stuck in a mire and was killed while fighting his enemies." To read more about the discovery of Richard III remains, see ARCHAEOLOGY's "The Rehabilitation of Richard III."
Gas Chamber Found at Sobibór Death Camp
WARSAW, POLAND—Holocaust researchers from Israel's Yad Vashem and Poland's Majdanek State Museum announced that they have found the exact location of the building that housed the gas chambers at Sobibór, a Nazi death camp in occupied Poland that killed an estimated 250,000 Jewish people between April 1942 and October 1943. The Germans dismantled the camp during the war, after a prisoner revolt in which several German officers and guards were killed. There were very few survivors. "Any small piece of information we can add to our knowledge is a great thing," Israeli archaeologist Yoram Haimi told The Associated Press. To read more about excavations at WWII-era internment camps, see "The Archaeology of Internment."

Also, I'm posting the next chapter tonight. No, it's not done, but saying it out loud will force me to stop procrastinating.
Karma's pretty close but I understand how you could forget how she exists But yeah Zhuge Liang is the TRUE badass of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Everyone gets hung up about Lu Bu and Guan Yu but seriously every time Zhuge's name shows up in that book someone gets owned. The guy literally invented steamed buns! I eat those for breakfast like every day! Oh and the semi-automatic crossbow helps too XD
I can see it now. An Ionian support champion that we'll actually remember, that uses an automatic crossbow and f*cks **** up with his almost-sorcery. And a fan. He has to carry a fan.
Junior Member
Are u ppl like Chinese or something? If so me too
Are we having a thread about Asians and Ionians? Because I'm Asian and I'm obsessed with Ionia.
Let's do this.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Jarvan and Xin Zhao are getting a Lu Bu and Zhao Yun skin respectively. But clearly Zhuge Liang the ret-conned sorceror as a champion in the League is by far a better gift then two skins would be.
where is the next chapter the tiger (my name) is getting hungery

Apple television announcement expected to precede launch by 2-6 monthsApple is likely to provide developers with a head-start to create software for its new television before it becomes available for consumers to purchase, according to a new analysis.
Brian White with Topeka Capital Markets noted on Tuesday that the first iPhone was announced in January of 2007 but didn't launch until June of that year. Similarly, the first iPad was unveiled in January of 2010, but didn't hit the market until April.
Since the initial versions of both the iPhone and iPad, new hardware launches one to two weeks after it is unveiled. But with the first version, Apple gave itself months of time between the announcement of the product and its arrival on the market.
In his note to investors, White said he expects the Apple television announcement to precede the launch of the final product by as few as two months, and as much as six months. He told investors to "keep in mind" that Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference is only two weeks away, but did not provide any indication that he thinks an Apple television will be announced at WWDC 2012.
White's note was issued in response to a report from out of the Far East on Monday that claimed production of the first Apple television prototypes has begun. The Chinese news website Sina reported that an Apple television is in the "trial production stage" at Foxconn, Apple's overseas manufacturing partner.
The report added that the full-fledged television set features an aluminum casing, iOS, Siri voice controls, and a forward-facing camera for FaceTime video chat. That report offered no date on a potential launch, only stating that it was rumored to debut later this year, but could arrive as late as 2014.
White said if Apple could capture 2 percent of the LCD TV market, it would represent $10 billion in sales for the company. He sees that adding between $1.50 and $2.00 in earnings per share for Apple.
White also noted that China is the largest LCD TV market in the world, with over 20 percent global market share. Apple does not currently sell its Apple TV set-top box in China, which means Apple could be preparing to enter a new market.
Topeka Capital Markets has a 12- month price target of $1,111.00 for AAPL stock. The firm has maintained its "buy" rating for investors.

As students start school, faculty and parents are still unsure about a major issue in Louisiana: common core. That determines how students will be tested in the spring.

What you missed on 7.31.14
August 1, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Hybrid , Etc. , Crossover , Porsche , Toyota Our controversial automotive beliefs Everyone's got an opinion, and some of ours are more unfavorable than others. Whether its one staffer's pro-vote for the Smart Fortwo, or another's dislike of a certain Hellcat-powered Challenger, these not-so-popular beliefs are often kept off the pages of Autoblog . Until now. Read our confessions, here. Quick Spin: 2015 Porsche Macan S We already gave Porsche's Macan Turbo a proper shakedown over in Europe, but back at home, west coast editor Michael Harley was able to take the less-powerful, less-expensive Macan out for a proper drive, on- and off-road. Yes, we hit both track and trail in the new baby Porsche. Have a read in our Quick Spin. CR pushes for Camry recall There's a potential problem with certain Camry Hybrid models from the 2007 to 2011 model years, but Toyota hasn't issued a recall – yet. The folks at Consumer Reports are urging the Japanese automaker to call back some of these sedans due to problems with the brakes.
2015 Toyota Yaris to start at $14,845* and look like this
July 24, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Budget , Hatchback , Toyota , Design/Style Toyota released a new Yaris in Europe and its Vitz clone in Japan a few months ago, so we knew it would only be a matter of time before it would launch the new hatchback here in North America. And that time has come. The new, more distinctive 2015 Yaris features far more aggressive exterior styling, a look set apart by that large lower air dam and X-motif front end. It rides on a retuned suspension hooked up to an altogether more rigid chassis, and Toyota promises it will ride more quietly and comfortably than the model it replaces. Inside the new model has additional soft-touch materials in a more comfortable cabin equipped with everything from a 6.1-inch touchscreen display to nine airbags. The 2015 Yaris comes in both three- and five-door bodystyles, and three trim levels that seek to eliminate the need for options packages. In fact the only option to speak of is a dealer-installed nav system. Power comes from a modest 1.5-liter four with variable valve timing, dual overhead cams and sixteen valves, sending 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. For all the updates, Toyota has only increased pricing by two or three percent (amounting to a few hundred bucks), with the 2015's MSRP ranging from $14,825 for a three-door, manual-transmission Yaris L to $17,620 for five-door, automatic Yaris SE (*before $825 destination charge). Scope out all the details and pricing in the press release below .
Toyota prices fuel cell sedan at $70k in Japan, coming to US and Europe next summer [w/video]
June 26, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Sedan , Technology , Toyota Toyota has finally unveiled its FCV hydrogen fuel cell sedan and its Japanese price. We won't have to wait too long to see the first of these revolutionary vehicles on the roads. It will go on sale in Japan in April 2015 and will come to the US and Europe later that summer. In Japan, the FCV will be priced at roughly 7 million yen before taxes ($68,810 at current exchange rates). However, Toyota makes it clear in the press release that we shouldn't try to extrapolate US MSRP from that figure, saying that official pricing for the US and Europe has not yet been determined. As will be the case in the US, sales in Japan will be limited to parts of the country that already have a hydrogen refueling infrastructure (that means you, California). The production version of the FCV looks almost identical to the concept from last year's Tokyo Motor Show . There is a new vertical strip of LEDs at each corner of the front air intake and real sideview windows, instead of the nubs on the prototype. The weird squiggles from the rear trim are also gone in favor of a more production-ready look, but the taillights survive the changes mostly intact. The automaker is keeping most of the specs about the FCV a secret for now as well, but it is confirmed a few key details.

Toyota launches updated Verso-S in Europe
May 14, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Budget , Minivan/Van , Europe , Toyota Globally, the Toyota Yaris has bred more variants than we can shake a stick at. It's been known in different markets as the Vitz, the Platz, the Bella, the Vios and, to us, as the Echo. The first-generation model bred a small cargo van called the Yaris Verso – a mini minivan riding on the shortest wheelbase in its class – which was renamed the Verso-S for Europe and alternatively known as the Space Verso, the Ractis, the Ractis Verso and even the Subaru Trezia in certain markets. And now Toyota has launched a revised version of its Verso-S in Europe. Arriving as a mid-life facelift after three years on the market, the new Toyota Verso-S has been reinterpreted through the "Keen Look" design language that's been distinguishing the latest generation of Toyotas, particularly in the European market. That means new projector-beam headlights and LED daytime running lights, a reshaped grille with chrome surround, more LEDs around back, a fresh set of 16-inch alloys and new color options. The interior has likewise been spruced up with new trim and color choices, as well as a tire pressure monitor fitted as standard. There's a new touchscreen display with more connectivity options, upgraded nav and a rearview camera as well. Since Toyota's made no mention of engine upgrades, until we hear back, we have to assume the 1.3-liter inline-four and 1.4-liter diesel engines carry over unchanged with the buyer's choice of either a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission. Continue reading Toyota launches updated Verso-S in Europe Toyota launches updated Verso-S in Europe originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 14 May 2014 08:45:00 EST.
Toyota updates Euro-market GT86 suspension, appearance
April 24, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Coupe , Europe , Scion , Toyota While we were busy ogling the Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 with its Yuzu yellow paint and a workover by Toyota Racing Development , and the Japanese Toyota 86 buyers were trying out their Playstation-compatible Sports Drive Logger telemetry system, the European 2015 Toyota GT86 got fitted with some new parts of its own. New on next year's model are stiffer mounts for the front suspension and rear shock absorbers, and new shocks in the back for better damping and less friction. Toyota says the result is sharper steering and less body roll. Inside, the instrument panel and center console get decorated with a "carbon-fiber motif." There are new shades of pearl white and silver to dress up the outside, and the roof gets a shark-fin antenna for sharper looks and aero. It goes on sale this summer, and you can read everything we just told you in the press release below . We've reached out to Scion to see if we'll get the same upgrades on the FR-S this summer, too, company PR rep Nancy Hubbell telling us, "The European changes are among those being considered for the US model FR-S and we'll have final confirmation soon."

Toyota launches new Passo hatchback in Japan [w/video]
April 19, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Budget , Japan , Videos , Hatchback , Toyota With considerable manufacturing capacity here in the United States and even a NASCAR program, it'd be all too easy to categorize Toyota as an American automaker. Only it's not. It's Japanese, of course. And back in the Japanese Domestic Market, it offers a whole range of models we'll never see in North America. Models like the Crown sedan, Noah minivan and this, the new Passo hatchback. Sold in various markets as the Daihatsu Boon, Daihatsu Sirion, Perodua Myvi and (for a time) the Subaru Justy, the Toyota Passo is a compact hatchback that slots in size-wise between the Yaris sold in America and the Aygo offered in Europe (except the Passo is taller than either). Power comes from a 1.0-liter engine with 69 horsepower that can be had in front- or all-wheel drive, or a 1.3 driving 95 horses to the front wheels alone. A continuously variable transmission is on duty regardless of engine choice. Front-drive models get a stop/start system, but even all-wheel-drive versions are eligible for government tax credits. That's because, though the new Passo only appears to be mildly updated, the engines have been thoroughly reworked to deliver 30-percent better fuel economy than the previous model, coming in 20-percent better than the standards being enacted by the Japanese government for next year.
Toyota issues multiple recalls for 6.4 million vehicles worldwide [UPDATE}
April 9, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Europe , Japan , Recalls , Safety , Toyota UPDATE: The text below has been amended to include new details provided by Toyota. It looks like 2014 may go down as the year of recalls. We were already at a record pace , and now it seems Toyota is recalling 6.39 million vehicles worldwide, including about 30 of its models for a variety of problems. None of the faults have caused any injuries or fatalities, but there have been two reports of fires caused by a defective engine starter motor. Toyota's numbers show 1.772 million vehicles being recalled in the US, but that includes some overlap because the Yaris is being repaired for multiple faults. According to The Detroit News , there are 2.36 million affected models in all of north North America, 1.09 million in Japan and 810,000 in Europe, plus smaller numbers in other regions. Toyota tells us that there are 6.76-million faults to repair in total, with those problems spread out over the aforementioned 6.39-million units. Among the vehicles recalled in the US are 1.3 million units of the 2009-2010 Corolla , Matrix and Tacoma , the 2008-2010 Highlander , the 2006-2008 RAV4 and 2006-2010 Yaris . The problem is that the driver's airbag module is attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on the cable can be damaged when the steering wheel is turned, which could deactivate the airbag and cause the airbag warning light to come on.
Toyota reveals new TS040 Hybrid LMP1 [w/videos, poll]
March 29, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Motorsports , Coupe , Hybrid , Videos , Toyota , Racing There's a new season of motor racing upon us, and while that doesn't always mean a new crop of cars in every series, in the case of the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship , that's exactly what it means. Porsche recently revealed its new 919 Hybrid and Audi its revised R18 E-Tron Quattro . Now it's Toyota's turn. Revealed today at the Paul Ricard test track in the South of France, the new TS040 Hybrid is based on the TS030 Hybrid it replaces, redesigned to meet the latest regulations established by the FIA and ACO for the World Endurance Championship and its flagship race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans . In accordance with said regulations, the TS040 is two inches narrower than the TS030 and also incorporates a new hybrid powertrain. The previous 3.4-liter V8 has been replaced by a 3.7-liter V8 developing 513 horsepower, and the new engine is coupled to an Aisin AW electric motor at the front, a Denso electric motor at the rear and a Nisshinbo super-capacitor that combine to kick out an extra 473 hp, giving the system a combined output of nearly 1,000 horsepower while consuming 25 percent less fuel than last year's car. It also gives the TS040 all-wheel drive to help channel all that power to the road. Toyota will field two TS040s in the WEC this season, with Alex Wurz, St
