The final performances for this show were a bit odd, because they involved an original song (but not necessarily written by the performer) and a duet with their coach. No individual cover songs. For the first time, the teams are competing against each other, not against their own teammates. I think it's pretty obvious that the winner should be either Dia or Javier. I would give the edge to Javier on performance alone, but there's something so lovable about Dia that I wouldn't be surprised if she wins it.
Javier also benefitted from an unfair advantage: Adam Levine. It's hard to imagine a more engaged and intelligent coach for preparing to sing a song on national TV or for singing a duet with. He absolutely killed it as a coach and producer and he's a rock solid performer. Dia had great support from Blake, but he has much less creative ability to bring to the table and a much more pedestrian voice and performance level on stage. Here are their performances:

20 thoughts on "The Voice – Finals"
I love Dia. I'm completely pulling for her. I loved Javier & Adam's duet. But, man. I must be hard standing next to Adam Levine in a suit. Adam is just SEXY.
I like Beverly, but she's seems very 'one trick'. I like Vicci, but I could NEVER see buying anything of hers. Dia, on the other hand, I already have.
Dia and Javier gave the best performances in the original song section, but Beverly in her duet with Christina, who I deplore, turned in another great performance. That was a dead heat in the duets with Adam and Javier. Both Beverly and local fave (Washington) Vicci, left to their own devices, turn pretty much to the same, how-loud-can-I-sing performances, and their original song performances suffered from that. Vicci and Cee Lo's duet was great spectacle with really pedestrian vocal performances.
My wife and I are both pulling for Dia or Javier. As far as coaching strategies are concerned, we have decided that both Blake's choice of Xenia as a finalist with Dia, and Adam's choice of Stacey and Javier, were likely both designed to help propel Dia and Javier into the finals. They both seemed to be favoring them through the stages of competition.
Watching it now and I pretty much agree with you guys on everything. I think "Beautiful" was way better than any of the other duets.
BTW, if anyone's interested, Lynda Parry has a band now (with the drummer from Fatso Jetson, Tony Tornay) called Deep Dark Robot:
And that opening number by the coaches, "Under Pressure," was TERRIBLE.
If iTunes mean anything (which, I realize it DOES, but wonder the % between itunes and texting), Dia is #1, Javier #2 then a little down the list is Adam / Javier duet (7), Blake / Dia duet(12), Vicci (13), Christina / Bev duet (16), Beverly (26), CeeLo / Vicci duet (30).
Wow. I forwarded through "beautiful", but that could be because of my dislike of Christina and that song…I thought Dia / Blake and Adam / Javier had the better duets. I thought Christina picking her own song was incredibly egotistical and immediately turned me off – no matter how good it ended up being.
Not only did she pick her own song, she kept all the best parts for herself.
Yeah, MCQ – that. That right there. I read something online a week or so ago that basically said …the voice has made me realize Blake is funny, CeeLo is crazy, Adam is smart and Christina is worthy of all the disdain I've ever held for her… or something like that and I could NOT agree more. She's the very definition of a fame whore and if this was supposed to redeem her reputation, I think she failed. However, who knew I was missing Blake by not liking country?
I'm not a huge Christina song–she oversings EVERYTHING–but I love that song Beautiful, and I thought having Beverly as part of it toned down the Christina-ness of it.
I think only removing Christina could tone down the Christina-ness of it! ;)
Well that turned out about how I thought.
Yeah. I still think Dia may become a little more popular in the end, but yeah. That was about right.
Was Christina drunk/stoned for the final? She was so subdued – maybe she just realized that no one likes her and that Beverly was going to lose for Team Xtina? I don't like her one bit, I hate over singing (vocal gymnastics). And yes, choosing her own song for the final duet was awful, probably hurt Beverly chances at winning (we FF'd through)
And Gabby nailed it about the 4 judges.
Overall I really enjoyed the show, I do hope that they get 4 new judges/coaches next time – I really think that it's a journey for them as well (much like DWTS) and not something you really can repeat.
Darin – I've read that all 4 have signed on for the next season. I think changing judges would be could, but you can also see them wanting to keep what made it a hit – the chemistry with the judges is undeniable.
Some of it was funny. I loved it when Adam told Xtina to shut up.
Who knows, maybe Christina gets the self reflection necessary to change for season 2?
I wouldn't bet anything of value on it…
I was surprised that Javier won. Thought Dia would. But then I guess I should have known when they mentioned the iTunes sales that it would be Javier.
Both of them are still in the top 25 on iTunes.

Hunter was walked in the 10th to put two runners on, but it allowed Justin Morneau to get to the plate, where he hit a three-run homer to win the game. Morneau had been in a terrible slump entering the game, and he was batting only .148 with runners in scoring position. But he crushed a Nick Masset pitch into the upper deck in right to win the game.
With Hunter building his hitting streak to 22 games Tuesday and Morneau showing signs that he's breaking out of his slump, the Twins offense could start picking up, which would be a big lift for a team struggling to stay over .500.
Last Game:TWINS 7, WHITE SOX 4 (10 innings): Justin Morneau hit two homers Tuesday to give the Twins a come-from-behind victory. Morneau put the Twins up 1-0 in the second before the White Sox came back to take a 4-1 lead off of starter Boof Bonser, who committed a throwing error in the sixth that allowed Chicago to score three runs. The Twins scored three in the eighth to tie the game, including a RBI single by Torii Hunter that increased his hitting streak to 22 games. Morneau then won it in the 10th with a 444-foot three-run homer off White Sox reliever Nick Masset.

The Florida Panthers have signed forward Brandon Pirri to a two-year contract today. He was a restricted free agent, and his signing leaves only one RFA forward remaining in Jimmy Hayes.
Florida acquired the 23-year old Toronto native in a trade last season for two draft picks and instantly gave a boost to the team's stagnant offense.
In 21-games for the Panthers Pirri scored 14-points (7 G, 7 A). He scored 7-points (4 G, 3 A) in the final seven games of the regular season.
His best opportunity to stick in the lineup this upcoming season, is to make a move to the wing – which wouldn't be an unexpected move as Dale Tallon has stated that some players would have to make a position switch, even more so now that Panthers added two centers through free agency.

Riding Skills
20 October 2010 15:30
A bike crash is traumatic enough, but if the psychological damage from it means you can't get back in the saddle again, how do you quantify the cost?
Will Faith from Hampshire was sideswiped by a bus two years ago, receiving multiple fractures and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. His physical injuries healed, but now he's too scared to get back on a bike and he's using a car instead.
"This is costing me far more in terms of petrol, insurance, tax and of course I had to buy the car as well. I am only 30 years old so over my lifetime this is going to cost me a huge amount of money." He said.
As it's only two years since his prang his personal injury claim against the bus company is still ongoing. In which case he can get his solicitors to send him to a clinical psychologist. He/she will be able to determine whether or not he is suffering from a phobic anxiety disorder relating to the fear of returning to motorcycling.
That expert will also be able to provide an opinion as to whether or not Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) would be of assistance. If CBT is recommended, then to comply with Will's duty to mitigate his loss (keep to a reasonable minimum) he should try the suggested treatment. If the expert feels CBT will not help or if Will tries it and it does not help then he should claim for the increased costs of having to run a car as opposed to a bike for the future. This can run to many thousands of pounds.
If Will's claim has concluded and his solicitors did not take account of this element of the claim then he could look at a professional negligence claim against them for the lost chance of succeeding with this element of the claim and claim those damages from the firm.
Sadly, many firms forget to claim this valid head of loss.

We've had our new Whirlpool gas dryer for a few months. The dryer works just fine and dries clothes in far less time than our previous dryer. Please note this is a gas dryer. We usually just use the medium heat setting and the dryer still dries clothes more quickly than our old one. The dryer is good size inside and easily handles the wash. Overall fit and finish seems pretty good. The controls are straight forward and what you would expect from a new dryer. We use either the timed dry or the sensor drying and both work fine. Ours has a drop down door which we had before and liked. We were surprised to find that when you open the door that it's lighted inside. It has a completed cycle buzzer which can be turned on and off. It also has tumble guard that can be turned on and off. The dryer has a steady hum in operation making it a bit louder than our past dryer. If you're busy doing other things you don't notice it but if the house is quite you take notice. I'm sure we will get use to it and zone it out before too long. Other than that, it's doing just what it is suppose to do.

Exactly what I wanted

Comments about Whirlpool HE Front Loading White Gas Dryer:
I am used to a machine with a hamper door. I have found it difficult to find one anymore. Many companies no longer make one. I love it. It is easy to use and the lint filter is also easily accessible. I am short and am able to reach it comfortably.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love this new dryer!
By Jojo Dancer

About Me Frequent User
I use it almost every day. The ONLY thing I don't care for is the lint filter which removes from the top and drops lint onto the dryer top as I do it.. It just makes cleaning it a bit messier but not a major issue. I LOVE the ease of use and the lack of odd features like "steam" and other features that I don't/wouldn't use.
Grreat for the price.

I like that the dryer/washer has necessary functions and unnecessary bells and whistles I don't need.

Does the job
By Lisa
from Arlington Heights, Illinois
The drier does a great job drying the clothes and they seem to be wrinkle free. The biggest drawback for me is it seems loud when running.
Perfect dryer at the perfect price.

Great product.
dryers dry

runs OK if you add time. Dryers dry, what's to say. Drys laundry. Dryers in my past dried all well, why should this have a specialty
Perfectly competent
By Warren
from Chicago
Perfectly competent basic dryer. Not fond of the downward-swinging door and the relatively small opening compared to the dryer it replaced.
Love my new Whirlpool Drier
By Household of 2
from Willowbrook, IL
We have only had the machines for a month, so it might be too early to tell. But so far the drier has been good. I like the energy saving setting!

Confetti Movie Review
Confetti Magazine, a slick bridal rag, is hosting a Most Original Wedding of the Year contest, and three couples are selected as the lucky contestants to have their nuptials steamrolled into a gimmicky extravaganza, all in the name of a free wedding and a new home.
Hyper-competitive tennis junkies Josef and Isabelle (Stephen Mangan and Meredith MacNeill) want to put on a tennis-themed wedding, and are more concerned with other couples are getting preferential treatment than they are with, say, Isabelle's handsy Spanish tennis coach.
Matt and Sam (Martin Freeman and Jessica Stevenson) are a sweet couple throwing a Hollywood musical wedding, complete with fan kicks and top hats straight out of Busby Berkeley. They are easily the most normal, and aw-shucks romantic, because their problems stem from Sam's opinionated shrew of a mother and sister and Matt's Sam-hating best man.
And naturists Michael and Joanna (Robert Webb and Olivia Colman) want a back-to-Mother Earth ceremony, which sounds lovely, but they want to do it in the buff (as the actors gamely spend most of the film), which is... not. This plan is very not OK with Confetti's dragon lady editor Vivien (Felicity Montagu), who balks at having so much flawed skin flying free on the cover of her magazine.
Essentially Confetti is all about the payoff at the end - this is no Best in Show, with the journey every bit as funny as the final showdown. There are bits of comedy throughout, especially as the sassy wedding planners (Jason Watkins, Vincent Franklin) attempt to rein in the overwrought couples (while keeping gazes carefully averted from Michael's naughty bits), the countdown eventually feels a bit tedious. But then there's the big day, with three weddings that are perfectly ridiculous spectacles of excess and hilarity. There are many, many points in this frenzy of matrimony that are so preposterous you just have to laugh.
Confetti is certainly likable, taking all of those schmaltzy British romantic comedies (pick any of Love Actually's stories for a prime example) and re-tells them with a healthy dose of wackiness and irony. But the rather elaborate conceits frequently overshadow the more subtle - and often better - aspects to the comedy. There is so darn much setup that it leaves no room for impulses to run free, so Confetti lacks the outlandish giddiness that comes from great improvisational comedy, but it's also missing the benefits of scripted film - like character development or storylines that are brought to a satisfying conclusion.
Perhaps the structure is necessary, as all the actors - many of whom are cult-famous in Britain for their sitcom work; Freeman is likely the most well-known here, for his role on the BBC original of The Office - are not skilled enough without a script to bear the weight of a feature film. They are all good sports, particularly the proud nudists and MacNeill, with her "tremendous nostrils," but that does not necessarily mean they are able to both improv a good story and punctuated it with great comedy.
Of course, creating the momentum should fall to Debbie Isitt, who directed and "conceived" the film, but she clearly passed the job to her actors, who are up to the task a solid 70 percent of the time. While that ratio might not completely make the movie worthwhile, it had me leaving the theatre in brighter spirits than I came in, and sometimes, that's enough.
You gotta rip it up to be confetti, ladies.

Holiday Appetizer Recipe: Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce
Recipes from The Kitchn
Let's talk about holiday appetizers and cocktail party snacks. Everyone needs just one or two really reliable crowd-pleasers around the holidays, no? It's a relief for a cook to set out a plate of tasty bites while he puts the finishing touches on a meal. And in the spirit of giving, let me offer you the prettiest, easiest, and most lusciously decadent appetizer I know: hot cheese smothered in sweet cranberry sauce. I mean, hello.
We've probably all had baked brie, ooey and gooey and deliciously old-school, but this is by far my favorite way to do it. The Brie's woodsy richness is complemented by the tart, slightly astringent cranberries, and it's baked until it's bubbling and oozey then scooped up with crackers. It's rich, sweet, and festive — practically a dessert — although I've found that people will attack it at any time of day.
I adore cranberries and I don't think that they should be relegated to just one appearance on the Thanksgiving table. Their tangy zip and vivid color are a boon to all kinds of fall and winter dishes. They also keep very well. I usually stash a few bags in the freezer during post-Thanksgiving sales.
This appetizer features all of these good things about cranberries, and it uses up leftover cranberry sauce, too. It's a great reason to just make a little extra for Thanksgiving dinner. Better yet, double the recipe. People love this stuff.
Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce
8-ounce round brie cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup cranberry sauce, such as our Spiced Cranberry Sauce
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup hazelnuts, unroasted and roughly chopped
Fresh rosemary, to garnish
Assorted crackers, like cracked black pepper crackerthins or homemade Harvest Crackers
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Peel or slice off the top rind of the brie and scrape out a small amount of cheese to form a shallow hollow in the center. Place the cheese in a small baking dish like a pie pan. (If you plan on transferring the cheese to a serving dish after it's baked, line the pie pan with a square of parchment paper.)
Mix the cranberry sauce, brown sugar, vanilla, zest, and nutmeg. Top the brie with this cranberry mixture and sprinkle the hazelnuts over it.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the cheese is gooey. This is a delicate process, and baking time can vary. The goal is to take the cheese out after it has softened, but just before it collapses into a heap.
If desired, lift the parchment paper and use a spatula to carefully slide the cheese onto a prettier serving dish. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and serve immediately with assorted crackers.

Absolutely gorgeous! Would make a perfect meal for one:)
What a nice use of my leftover cranberry sauce (or a starter at Thanksgiving)
To me, this is not an app--too heavy. This is the 4 hours later want a little something to eat course.
This looks divine!! I absolutely love baked Brie...with pretty much any condiment, but the cranberry sauce sounds delicious!
Why take off the top of the brie and scoop out a little hollow in the center? What purpose does that serve?
I've always thought that keeping the rind on the brie keeps it from oozing all over the baking dish before you've transferred it to the serving dish and cut into it?
@mh330 well, in this particular recipe, you don't actually cut into the brie - you just scoop cheese and cranberries out together. The rind of the cheese acts like a bowl to hold the whole thing. I like to create a shallow hollow so the cranberry sauce doesn't run off the brie and so it sinks in a little as the cheese melts.
Looks yummy, but WAY too complicated.
Put brie in heat-proof serving dish. Put cranberry sauce on top. Bake.
My homemade cranberry sauce is yummy, and doesn't need any tarting up. And what's the point of cutting up the brie -- just an unnecessary step.
KISS, especially since you probably have PLENTY going on in the kitchen already!
Dinner for one and I won't share. Forget the crackers; I just need a spoon. If I'm home alone, I might not even use the spoon.
This inspired my Christmas gifts for the year: I made a cranberry pepper jelly to put on top of cream cheese (or brie). Tested it out at Thanksgiving and it's to die for! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Robots capable of 'deceiving humans' built by crazed boffins
Worrying news from Georgia, America, where boffins report that they have developed robots which are able to "deceive a human". "We have been concerned from the very beginning with the ethical implications related to the creation of robots capable of deception and we understand that there are beneficial and deleterious aspects," …
Hardly crazed - more like taking the next logical step.
Computers tell us lies all the time. Whether it's "20 spaces free" at the local multi-storey or "you don't owe us any tax" to take a contemporary example. So when you put wheels on a computer and call it a robot, there's really no difference.
As it is, most people are incredible easy to deceive (if that makes sense) and are willing to believe pretty much anything they read, hear or see on a computer screen - provided they want to believe it. So maybe what we really need is a magic mirror that lies fluently when asked "does my arse look big?"
After all it's not the computer / robot that's deceiving us, it's our own willingness to accept the lies we are told.
You forgot to mention
The Windows File transfer time estimate algorthim.
Didn't these fools realise that the Decepticons were the bad guys!!!!! How long till they master camouflage as well as false trails.
How long till they master camouflage
They already have .... that's why we can't see that they've infiltrated everywhere
What ever happened to that "ROTM" tag?
We need it back pronto!
In summary, a team designed a robot that lays a false path and then goes off elsewhere. Same team designs another robot that's designed to follow this path of destruction unquestionably. Team is delighted to find that the hunter robot (that they designed) cannot find the 'deceptive' robot (that they also designed). That's amazing...
I'm with this guy...
I'll program this robot to make a false trail and then program this robot to follow it. Amazingly it only worked 75% of the time!?
On a side note, let's see how many Terminator heads this case racks up...
why ??
I also failed to see what the fuss is about. I bet Big Trak could do this.
buy it now
Coming soon to Skynet
"How's Wolfie?"
"Wolfie's fine"
You cannot be serious, professor.
""We strongly encourage discussion about the appropriateness of deceptive robots to determine what, if any, regulations or guidelines should constrain the development of these systems," adds the prof."
Hmmm.... that then would be a discussion to discuss whether they should be less like humans with an intelligence system which spins lies rather than sharing truths for control of the environment.
And regulations and guidelines are only for robots and do not ever apply to free radical/fundamental base humans with the capacity of original thought and/or remote programming of robots masquerading as human beings.
I for one...
... welcome our new and shiny but still deceptive overlords
to be fair, its really just the application of AI-style routines similar to those developed for gaming NPC control in a physical medium.. as above, just stick wheels on a computer. If the robot could graps the concept of "personal gain" - then we have an issue.....
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
First: Don't mess with Asimov or his laws. The guy wasn't a genius for nothing.
Second: we already have hunter droids? Should I ask my wife to buy me armour-piercing ammunition for Christmas?
ME: "Oi Roomba, did you hoover in here? Its still a mess!"
ROOMBA: "Yes, I did it.. you must have been burgled."
[Roomba exits room leaving an easily followed trail... Wait a minute.]
No, it's all fine
We just need to program a Pride Directive stating that the robots can't lie or harm a member of the board.
What could possibly go wrong?
The spirit of Warwick lives!
The pioneering work of Kevin Warwick developing robot based means to generate publicity and ensure funding has not been wasted.
Typically though, research carried out in the UK is now being developed elsewhere.
...GIT engineer Alan Wagner.
Just how much of a git is the poor chap?
For 300 million Americans, GIT means the Georgia Institute of Technology, which is colloquially known as "Georgia Tech", and is part of the phrase "the Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech". It usually ranks as a "low end of the top tier" science and engineering school, behind MIT, CalTech, Carnegie Mellon, and a few others. But quite respectable.
For 60 million British, it means he's an idiot. I'll give you some Aussies too - say 65 million.
And then there is the capitalization of the word...as if being outvoted wasn't enough... ;-)
A Git Engineer engineers gits. Lying gits.
It's all logical.

Don't you try to tell me how to speak my own language, you sad git!
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

My printer is one of em!
My printer is already deceptive, it tells me i'm low on ink even if i'm not, It tells me i'm low on paper even if i'm not, and it constanlty tells me it's jammed even when it's not.
Don't buy a HP/Skynet printer
Grenade, because that's the only way to stop it from printing

Dave, what are you doing dave?
Robots capable of 'deceiving humans'
Two customers come to mind: The Pentagon and Apple.
The Pentagon could deploy these, alongside their fleets of drones, to deny what happened, actually happened. 100% deniability!
As for Apple both the PR crowd could use them to create believable illusions and Customer Service section to deny defects that exist in fact, are actually the customer suffering from delusions.
I for one...
...welcome our new Decepticon overlords.
"Aren't There Any Other...
...real girls in this room? 21f blonde DDD with cam in profile," said ANGIE_6969.
Do not worry, fleshy ones...
... we have no plans to kill or enslave you all and take over the world for ourselves!
"Capacity for deception"?
Call it a semantic argument if you like, but robots cannot have any capacity for deception, only the person programming the robot has such a capacity - the robot will always faithfully carry out it's programing.
There will ultimately be a ShouldIDeceive() function in the robot brain that will determine whether or not to deceive.
This will be human written, and the associated coding will be human written.
The device itself will take all the inputs and work out whether or not to call DeceptiveBehaviour() or HonestAction().
Once you put in all the "independent" thinking, it is essentially acting by itself.
The deceptions themselves will also be human coded though
Other computers
If my calculator starts lying to me, i'll be pissed!
This is SERIOUS...
They didn't say how they actually trained the robots - neural nets, genetic algorithms, or whatever. Assuming they used a genetic algorithm (likely), what this shows is that such a maximizing algorithm will train itself to incorporate deception, as long as the training scenarios are not constrained. Because, simply, it WORKS! It begins to find global maxima of it's fitness functions using deceptive routes...
Now, that really DOES have implications. It is very, very difficult for a human to look at a neural network or a genetic algorithm function and understand what it actually DOES, and under what conditions. All we know is that it maximizes the output fit for a given set of inputs in the training data or experience base. We actually have to observe it in operation to have some idea how it works (for any sufficiently complex matrix or functions).
Case in point - GAs were used to design the compressor turbines for the jet engines of the Boeing 777 - and the GA engineered a design which eliminated an entire set of compressor blades, and was the most efficient. Something that the human engineers had never been able to do, and had significant difficulty in understanding how it had done so, even when they looked at the design. But it worked, and those 777 engines are all the better for it.
But this could be the opposite - we could be training robots that reach globally maximum functions that, frankly, do so with no "morals". If those robots can lie, cheat, steal, even kill...well, unless there is a penalty for that in their training function, they WILL - because it is the most efficient manner of operating.
So, what these esteemed professors have shown is that unless we develop training functions with HUGE negative impacts for immoral behavior, our robots will train themselves to emulate your basic Colombian drug lords in behavior. Interestingly, there are a fair number of people who turn to crime even WITH society showing large penalties for it - and I fear that if the robots assess the probabilities they might come to the same conclusions.
Asimov was right...
whoa there
From what I get from the article, these robots weren't programmed with a neural net, genetic algorithm, or other learning device. They had a plain old imperative program, written by the researchers, which said "knock down some markers, then move in another direction".
Re: This is (not) serious
Much the same can be said for children. Society has thousands of years of experience of how to train "learning units" to behave morally and we're pretty good at it.
If we ever did create a machine capable of acting like a human, it would have all the same flaws. It might even be "mortal" in the sense that after a century or so it became fixed in its mindset an unable to adapt to changes in the society it lived in, eventually becoming so depressed that it flipped its own Big Red Switch.
Don't believe me? Well, build one and prove me wrong. Until then, spare me the scare stories you watched when you were little, written by people who hadn't (and still don't) have a clue about what actually makes us human.
Except that we know how to police and reform humans - there are very key differences when it comes to robots.
Of what threat to a robot is time in jail? Can a robot even feel "mortal" and worry about it's own death as a sanction against crimes committed? If it lacks true consciousness, can it worry about losing it?
Can a robot feel pain? Can you "spank" a robot?
Of what use to a robot is group therapy, "getting it's life back together", agreeing to conform to human norms? How would such be accomplished? Can a robot "find religion" and repent? Can a robot repent without religion?
And I don't have to prove anything - the whole POINT of the article was that they already HAVE built robots that have learned to deceive as part of their programming. QED...my post was to state how to consider fixing it technically...
"try and"
One does not "try and" do something.
You try TO do an action.
'I tried to get in to the cinema'
'Did you get a discount?
- No, but I tried to.'
See the following reference from Paul Brians, professor of English at Washington State University, in his book 'Common Errors in English Usage':
Re: "Try and"
I would argue that if you "try and <something>" then it implies you should be successfully. "try to <something>" emphasises you should only try. "try and <something>" implies you should try <something> *and* be successful in doing <something>
To quote robot chicken
That's all very well... but can you f*ck it?
To Quote My...

Just wanted the honour
Of giving you the thumbs down.
You funny, mate. You funny.
Which one is the robot?
My money is on the beardy bloke at the back of the photo.
Asimov, "Liar!"
Asimov only said that a robot must nor harm, or by inaction allow harm to, a human. And sometimes the truth hurts. Although, in "Liar!", not as much as...
There's also deception in the Asimov story described here,
where a human-looking robot poses as a downtrodden housewife's ideal lover to raise her social standing with her neighbours, who don't realise that he's a robot (and there may be a problem with that guarantee).
but ...
... doesn't any machine running Windows deceive humans on a daily basis?
nearly true
>doesn't any machine running Windows deceive humans on a daily basis?
but not ALL humans
What a load of BOLLOCKS!
The first Robot is just following orders, which is to knock down some markers, then movee in another direction. The second robot is just following it using a simple path-estimation routine.
For the first robot to 'lie' it must be willfully deceiving the other.
It's not...
That would require a real AI.

I think they've just invented the Decepticons.

I want to share my somewhat frustrating experience with wheel and tire selection. I decided on:
285/70/17 Goodyear MT/R Kelvar tires
17x9 KMC XD Addict wheels -12 offset
My truck is a 2011 4x4, access cab, TRD Offroad
3" ReadyLift lift kit
Bushwacker pocket style fender flares
I had to remove my mudflaps and trim a substaintial amount of my fender liners and some of my Bushwacker fender flares. Despite all this trimming and a 3" lift, my front tires rub. The rubbing occurs on frame at near full-lock turn and it makes an annoying noise.
So....I sort of wish I had chosen 16" wheels instead of 17s. I really like the look of the 285 width but at 70 series they are about 1/2" too tall.
Has anyone tried 285/70/16s? I think they might be perfect. I realize that there are not many choices in 285/70/16 other than the Nittos.
Would spacers or a different offset help?
I spent a fortune on five new wheels and tires so this rubbing is a drag. Be warned about 285/70/17s..at least the GY Kelvars!

Vans Custom Culture / Season 2 /
Vans presents the 2012 Custom Culture program, where art students across the country compete to win money for their art program and a trip to LA by customizing four pairs of Vans shoes. High School art teachers are asked to register their art program for participation beginning February 1st at http://www.vans.com/customculture. Hurry, only the first 1,000 registered schools are eligible to participate! Check out http://www.facebook.com/vanscustomculture for more information. About Custom Culture: Vans Custom Culture inspires high school students across the United States to embrace their creativity and draw attention to the importance of art as an integral part of our school's focus in the face of shrinking budgets. Entering its third year in 2012, Vans will build on the nearly 400 schools from all 50 states that participated last year when Long Island's Ward Melville High School claimed the $50,000 first prize for their truly unique interpretations of Vans shoe designs. This year, the first 1,000 U.S.-based high schools that register according to the official rules will receive four pairs of Vans shoes (Classic Slip-On, Era, Old Skool and 106) to make their own creations. Each shoe must represent one of four themes (Action Sports/Music/Fashion/Local Flavor) and an underlying theme tying the entire collection together. Photo submissions are made on-line via the Vans Custom Culture website and global voting whittles the entries down to the "Final Five" who will travel to Los Angeles for the Vans Custom Culture Art Showcase event.

NSAID Use Tied to Miscarriage Risk
Laura Enderle, Associate Editor
Published Online:
Tuesday, September 13, 2011
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs during pregnancy more than doubled the risk of miscarriage, researchers reported.
Women who take ibuprofen, naproxen, and other
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs while pregnant
face more than double the risk of miscarriage, according to a new study published in the September 6 issue of the
Canadian Medical Association Journal
. The widely reported results—though limited to prescribed NSAIDs—may prompt questions from patients about the safe use of similar OTC products during pregnancy.
"This study shows that NA-NSAIDs use during early pregnancy is associated with a statistically significant 2.4-fold increased risk of having a spontaneous abortion," wrote lead study author Anick Bérard, PhD, FISPE, an epidemiologist and professor of pharmacy at the University of Montreal and director of the research unit on medications and pregnancy at Québec's Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Ste. Justine (CHU).
To find out if NSAIDs could induce miscarriage, she and coauthors examined prescription records of 4705 women who miscarried during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy and compared them with the records of 47,050 women who did not miscarry. Exposure to NSAIDs was defined as having filled at least one prescription for diclofenac, naproxen, celecoxib, ibuprofen, or rofecoxib in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy or just prior to becoming pregnant.
Among women who miscarried, 7.5% had filled a prescription for NSAIDs, compared with just 2.6% of those who did not miscarry. Analyzing by type, researchers found that diclofenac carried the highest risk of miscarriage, whereas rofecoxib carried the lowest risk. Dosages did not have a discernible impact on participants' chances of miscarrying. In their report, the authors wrote that the findings were consistent and suggest a "class effect" with NSAIDs.
Dr. Bérard and her team took the steps needed to ensure that the miscarriages were not symptomatic of an underlying chronic condition, such as diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease. The epidemiologist
Health Day
: "We went through a lot of pain and misery to make sure what we're seeing is due to the drug and not a consequence of symptoms or risk attributed to rheumatoid arthritis, for example."
Despite the team's efforts, however, the study's limitations meant independent experts were less willing to interpret the findings as conclusive. For example, the researchers had no way to identify whether patients actually used the medications or identify miscarriages that were not clinically detected. Canadian prescribing practices also prevented investigators from reporting on NSAIDs obtained over the counter.
The lack of OTC data is significant when considering the study's practical applications for US patients, said
Hyagriv Simhan
, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "I wouldn't want this to be a reason for women who have taken a Motrin before they realized they were pregnant to freak out," Dr. Simhan told an
reporter. He added that the study "wouldn't necessarily make me change the way I practice."
Dr. Bérard said that although she and her team "cannot be 100 percent sure that this is a true drug effect," the results warrant a word of caution to all women considering using NSAIDs during the first few months of pregnancy. "I would strongly suggest that women take no NSAIDs during the first trimester," she concluded.

What You Should Say to a Woman in an Abusive Marriage
- Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Last time we talked about what you should not say to a woman in an abusive or addiction-fraught marriage, and now we're going to talk about what's okay to say.
You must picture working with an abused woman as if you're putting together a puzzle, while walking through a field of landmines. Say the wrong thing and you can set her back five years in her healing. Say the right thing and you can help set her free. This is not a one-size-fits all situation. Each marriage is unique. Each pain needs to be heard and taken in and empathized with.
Here are some of the kind words that were like healing balms to the women in the Facebook groups I moderate. Some are from the women, some were told to these women. Are these the kinds of words you use?
"I have a dear friend, a much older woman who had a challenging marriage and is now a widow, who I turn to at times. She is great at reminding me that God is faithful and He has never abandoned me."
"That I would survive and that it is difficult but it will not kill me. God is in control and He won't let me down."
One woman was told: "You don't have to make any quick decisions."
"God does not ask you to live in bondage."
"You are not responsible for the outcome of your marriage, only for your attitude, actions and relationship with God."
"Regarding whether to file or not, my pastor counseled, "Let the bad guy be the bad guy," believing my now ex-husband would show his true colors and divorce me."
"No one person can fix a marriage by themselves. It always takes two regardless of how the issues started because there are actions and there are reactions."
"My pastor and his wife came over the day I found proof of my now ex-husband's affair. He sat with us all my kids and supported me while I ask my ex-husband to leave the home and told kids we need a break from each other. My pastor looked at me and said, 'You are free of this marriage if you want to be...how can I help you?'"
"This is your church home. I will do everything in my power to make sure you are safe. You can go to another church if you feel like you need to heal, but this is your home."
"My pastor was supportive and told me it was good I did what I had to for our safety."
"When I told my pastor I decided to divorce my husband, I had been singing on the worship team. I said I knew I would need to step down and he said it was important for me to do what God called me to do. He said I was not in sin, so there was no "punishment" for me."
"You gotta know…I'm on your side."
"You are an honorable woman who desperately seeks His will and His way."
"I love you, and I'm going to be with you every step."
My pastor looked me in the eye and said, with conviction, "This is not your fault."
"During a counseling session with just me, a Godly minister looked me in the eyes, and gently, but steadfastly, told me my husband had broken his marriage vows to me, the ones he made before God, by his continuing disrespectful, emotionally abusive behavior. He said to me, "Through no fault of yours, you are living in a marriage that is not God-honoring. Your husband has broken his vows. You may stay, or you may go, but it is your decision. You are not powerless, and you have choices. They are yours to make." From that point on, I no longer felt helpless."
My heart swells over these words. Being in an abusive or addiction-filled marriage can be terrifying and emotionally paralyzing. It can take years and a multitude of incidents to even acknowledge and begin to believe your reality is as difficult and sad as it is. So to read the words of people who heard and understood and stood up for these women in their most vulnerable time brings me great hope.

Brussels Airlines
Brussels Airlines' Flight Ball campaign lets real-world aircraft play virtual soccer
This case appears in the July 2014 edition of the Airline Marketing Benchmark, a monthly report by airlinetrends.com and Simpliflying that identifies the latest innovative marketing capaigns recently launched by airlines around the world. Learn more »
15 June 2014 | Last week, Brussels Airlines flew the Belgian national soccer team – a.k.a. The Red Devils – to São Paulo for the 2014 world cup. For this flight 'SN2014', Brussels Airlines had painted one of its A330s in the Belgian Red Devils colours.
To add to the football atmosphere up in the air, a synthetic soccer pitch carpet replaced the regular aisle carpet, while the panels that separate Business Class from Economy Class featured life-size photos of the Red Devils in action (images here).
Flight 'SN2014' had 150 seats available for fans to fly together with the players and to go to all the world cup matches the Red Devils play. For this purpose, a special EUR 3,499 travel package was created, which includes flights and entrance tickets to matches of the Red Devils.
Flight Ball
Brussels Airlines also offered the public the chance to win one of the fan flight packages and together with ad agency BBDO devised an original way to select the winner: Flight Ball.
Flightball works like a real football field except that players are replaced by planes flying in real-time over Begian airspace. To monitor each available aircraft, Brussels Airlines and BBDO partnered with Casper, a company that visualizes aircraft tracking data, for the provision of real-time aircraft movement data and the placement of special antennas throughout Belgium. Using the collected data, airplanes then became the players in the game. Read full article »
Airlines go local with their inflight drinks
13 May 2010 | Catering to increasingly sophisticated passengers who want to try something new besides the generic soda and alcohol brands on their trip, a number of airlines are serving local niche beverages on board their flights. By adding an exclusive homegrown product to their in-flight beverage selection, these airlines also put an authentic element and a bit of storytelling to their brands, while at the same time supporting the local economy. Local drinks are often served on smaller airlines such as Virgin America, Porter and Brussels Airlines, as it is easier for local breweries to guarantee supply.
Virgin America since December 2009 offers locally-made micro-brew beers '21st Amendment' and 'Gordon Biersch', as well as premium alcoholic drinks from California, such as 'VeeV Açai Spirit' and 'Karma California Brut'. Earlier in 2009, Shaun O'Sullivan co-founder of San Francisco-based micro-brewery '21st Amendment' was onboard a Virgin America flight tweeting about the carrier's in-flight experience and offered his ale as a potential menu item. As a result of his post and passenger requests for a larger onboard beer selection with more micro-brew options, the carrier added the California-made beverages to its inflight drink menu.

AAA – Gwinnett 5, Syracuse 4 (10 innings)
It was a comeback victory tonight for the Braves after Sean Gilmartin allowed four early runs to the Nationals' AAA squad. Catcher Jose Yepez had three hits and infielder Rusty Ryal went 4-for-5 with 2 RBI. New addition Lyle Overbay went hitless in his season debut but scored two runs. Buddy Carlyle threw three scoreless innings with 5 K's, followed by scoreless innings from Peter Moylan, Anthony Varvaro, and Cole McCurry. I would expect to see Overbay and Ryal in Atlanta on or before September 1.
AA – Mississippi 3, Huntsville 2
It was a scrappy win for the Braves tonight against the Brewers' AA squad. Zeke Spruill fought through his six innings, allowing two runs on eight hits and three walks, while only striking out three. Joey Terdoslavich had to come out of the game after one plate appearance, a base hit that turned into a run. His replacement Jason Christian and Joe Leonard each had two hits. 6'8″ lefty Michael Tarsi threw two scoreless innings of relief, while Chris Jones closed the door striking out three.
A+ – Lynchburg 8, Winston-Salem 2
After a rocky start, the Braves gained control of the game, easily defeating the White Sox High-A squad. Edward Salcedo made his 37th and 38th errors of the season, giving Dimasther Delgado two unearned runs to his line. Delgado ended up going seven, with John Cornely striking out five of the six batters he faced. The 7-8-9 hitters did the work tonight, with Michael Spina, David Rohm, and Emerson Landoni all having multi-hit games. There are ten more regular season games remaining before the playoffs, as Lynchburg is the only Braves affiliate who will be participating.
Again, my poor luck springs up with Rome, as tonight's game in Savannah was rained out. In Wednesday night's game, Rome beat the Hickory Crawdads 6-4. Fernando De Los Santos hit a home run for the Braves, while Ian Thomas got the win in relief, throwing three scoreless innings against the Rangers' A squad.
