MS to Kinect up UK in November
Microsoft's Kinect will come to Blighty on 10 November, the Xbox maker revealed this morning. Xbox Kinect The announcement, made at the Gamescon show, says it all - you know the rest: Wii-style motion control for Xbox 360 with added webcam-filmed put-you-in-the-game and player tracking elements. You get voice and gesture …
Kinect downgraded
Kinect won't be reading sign language
The Microsoft device is been reportedly downgraded to save money which means the Kinect version that's shipping this holiday won't be able to recognise your fingers.
Microsoft has reportedly reduce costs of making the motion-sensing device by downgrading Kinect's capabilities. This means Kinect will no longer include the processor chip that enabled it to recognise the joints of the fingers and toes, at least this is what Kotaku reports.
Kinect was originally capable of doing so because of its higher resolution but now Kinect's resolution will be lowered to 320×240. This is what Microsoft told Kotaku:
It turns out the camera on Kinect has been pared down to 320x240 in order to cut costs.
Such a low resolution would not be able to track the complex movements needed for sign language. Kinect can only track limbs, not digits.
"We are excited about the potential of Kinect and its potential to impact gaming and entertainment. Microsoft files lots of patent applications to protect our intellectual property, not all of which are brought to market right away. Kinect that is shipping this holiday will not support sign language.
Don't blame MS for the sign language thing
Microsoft just patented sign language recoginition although they didn't claim Kinect would do it. That one you can chalk up to overexcited fans.
However MS have insinuated in the past that Kinect could do things that bordered on the utterly absurd. Look at the Milo demo for example which merely implied face recognition, mood recognition, natural language processing, speech synthesis and associated technologies. Things which even dedicated, state of the art systems with considerably more horsepower would struggle to do in ideal conditions.
It's no wonder they went with fluffy animals instead. Animals are stupid, so if you get away with a system that requires you repeat simple commands or wave your arms 3 or 4 times for the thing to register properly.
It can only play 2 player too.
From the original 4.
However is some bizzare Microsoft marketing spin, it can "recognise" 6 players, even thou only 2 can play....
It's pretty easy to confuse Xbox owners, so I can see why Microsoft have pulled out this marketing stunt.
Still waiting...
...for the announcement that this is all a big joke, and of course Microsoft wouldn't release a webcam and bunch of kids games for £130 on a console which is all about playing hardcore FPSs online.
Allow me be the first to say...
Kinect looks to be the most impractical gaming device since the virtualboy. Hate to say this but Sony seems to have gotten theirs bang on, no having to stand up and flail around pointlessly in the hope that image recognition will be able to analyse what you're doing accurately and quickly. (accuracy, speed in processing response time and price.. pick two)
Not wii style motion control
The Kinect uses a camera for full / partial body motion detection. There is no remote control involved at all.
The PS Move is more similar to the Wii style controller, although the camera is on TV rather than in the controller like the Wii. The Move is more accurate than the
Of Kinect and Move, expect Kinect to be strictly limited to party / casual games. The Move is likely to get casual and hardcore title support.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Bring on the fanbois.
Sitting/standing... I thought all this gesture stuff was about standing and waving about anyhow? playing tennis sitting down? Playing bowling sitting down? Why is sitting down and gesturing apparently the killer app all of a sudden?
Kinect will win where the others fail - in analysing your movement without having to hold on to a remote control. Dance Central will shift a shed load of units, no question; other games will follow.
It's too late to the party to usurp the Wii's dominance, but I really can't see the Playstation Move control being anymore than a me-too copy of the Wii.
Kinect is genuinely doing something different to the Wii & Move.
PS3 EyePet
and other PS webcam games already allow you to wave your hands and bodies about to control the game.
Haven't we seen this before?
Different to the Wii and move yes. Very similar to the playstation 2's eyetoy though.
Eyetoy also demonstrates the issues
I have Eyepet and it's a cute game, but dear god can be it frustrating at times. If the lighting isn't perfect (full natural light), your Eyepet will stare on dumbly as you furiously gesture for the Nth time to no avail. Or you will draw a lovely picture of a car for your pet to copy and the low light means the game will turn into a disjointed series of squiggles.
All these issues will affect Kinect and more besides. Kinect is bound to work better at motion tracking thanks to IR CCDs but it will still be laggy, occasionally ignore or misinterpret gestures, get confused by the sofa or lighting or clothes or people walking around or whatever.
Take a look at the atrocious Kinect mode for the Harry Potter 7 game to see what the limits of this system are likely to be.
The Move will face some of the same issues to a lesser degree. After all it uses an Eyetoy too so lighting could affect the tracking. Where Sony seem to have been smart is in putting a big glowing ball on the controller.That makes it easy to work out its distance with standard trig and the big glowing ball makes it obvious where it is, but there may still be conditions where it doesn't register properly.
Playstation EyeToy
I remember playing this 6 years ago, it was pap!
10 November? That is good news - it almost guarantees that we will see it in NZ by this time next year, or less than 12 months after that.

Cara Delevingne stomping down the DSquared2 catwalk wearing a ginormous pink hat and double-breasted suit was one of our highlights of Milan Fashion Week - so we're thrilled to have a sneak peek of what the mega model and her chums got up to behind-the-scenes at the show.
And it seems LOVE Magazine style sing-a-long videos are the latest craze to emerge this fashion month. A few weeks ago we shared with you Cara Delevingne singing 'I want Candy' for Gang by Hogan and now we have an exclusive video of her dancing to as well as miming a '40s track for DSquared2. Not that we're complaining, of course, we can't get enough of watching our favourite catwalkers showcase their singing and dancing talents.
This latest video has all the elements of a fabulous fashion week film, from OTT lip syncing to mega models like Daphne Groeneveld, lotsa bling and oodles of champagne. Dan and Dean, the fabulous Caten twin designers and founders of DSquared2, naturally take a lead role in the video as we see the pair frolicking around with the models as they prep for their Autumn Winter 2013 show. Stressful? It certainly doesn't look like it!
DSquared2's Dames-Masculines show was one of our faves at MFW this season. We loved the classic 1940s silhouettes, glittering pins, bow ties and peek-a-boo undergarments. Of course, this isn't the first time our beloved Cara has starred in a quirky video for the brand - you'll remember she pulled her trademark funny faces in a '90s-tastic film for the Spring 2013 Resort collection.
So get a behind the scenes look at the DSquared2 show in the video below. It's a real corker...

Following on from another thread I started, I am interested in the views about lense choices. Firstly I dont have a massive budget 4 possibly £500 tops.
has anyone experinced a difference in terms of quality of photo produced by Tamron Vs Sigma Vs Nikkor lenses.
I am looking at the
Nikkor - 18-200 ; 18-300
Sigma 18-250
Tamron 18-270
I already have the Nikkor kit lense 18-55 and a Tamron 70-300...
Just interested in your views on build quality Vs price / image quality differences that you may have experienced over time, and any other thoughts you have on the subject. Do these manufacture their own lenses or have them supplied?
I have a Nikon D3000 and my target photos are basically my kids at play - very active, the reason for the 18-200+ is so I can reduce the number of times I'm swapping the lense when out and about with the kids.
Thanks in advance

Section 5: Epilogue: Lento con malinconia
Track 11 on CDS44281/6 CD2 [7'10] 6CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Bantock took as his starting point a poem by Robert Browning (1821–89) which critics of the time (the 1870s) considered, not without reason, to be almost unreadable. Dimly, however, buried beneath inordinate length, tortuous syntax and endless digressions, the determined reader may discern a story line in which the narrator is first pictured afloat on the 'sea of life', comfortable and secure but disturbed by the presence of a butterfly, symbol of freedom and adventure. That adventure is described in the main body of the poem: the scene, a fairground; the adventure, a dancer, Fifine, with whom the narrator becomes infatuated. He forgets his wife Elvire, and scorns the predictable comforts of domestic life, but is gradually forced to realize their true value as it becomes clear that the wayward Fifine can offer no lasting happiness. Elvire forgives her errant spouse who, as Browning points out in verse 129, has learned his lesson.
In musical terms Bantock follows Browning's ground plan faithfully, though without his obscurity and prolixity. The Prologue, labelled (as in Browning's poem) 'Amphibian', suggests, by means of a string section divided into twenty-one parts, a suitably watery ambience. It begins in virtual silence and only gradually takes on thematic definition with the emergence of a gently articulated motif (a rise and fall over a semitone) that will later blossom as the expression of Elvire's steadfast love. Above the undulating background there hovers a fluttering 'butterfly' motif in the upper strings which prefigures the temptation that Fifine herself will pose. Passages for solo viola, in the manner of a recitative, suggest the narrator's restless yearning for something other than the womb-like security in which he is immersed.
Having set out the basis of the dramatic argument and underpinned it with hints of the conflicting Fifine and Elvire themes, Bantock, like Browning, embarks upon the story itself. This is set against the turbulent background of a Fair—literally a 'Carnival of Venice', as brief references to that famous tune make clear. The hearty thump of a showman's drum is heard (a moment uncannily reminiscent of Petrushka, though it seems unlikely that Bantock attended the Paris premiere in June 1911 immediately before commencing his own composition) and is followed by an itinerant fiddler's trivial tune (to be played, Bantock directs, in the 'first position') and the sound of a penny whistle. The carnival, which may be thought of as a symbol of the bustling world itself, proceeds apace until interrupted by the appearance of Fifine in the form of a wayward clarinet solo as prelude to her seductive dance (Allegretto grazioso e capriccioso). Over a sinuous melody in the cellos the clarinet weaves teasing arabesques described by a bemused Musical Times critic (November 1911) as Fifine's 'saltatory seductions'—a phrase which may needlessly have over-excited his readers. Little by little the music becomes more passionate as the narrator grows more and more infatuated. The love scene is interrupted by an elaborate clarinet cadenza so demanding and flirtatious as to unnerve the narrator and remind him of the dependability of his wife's love. It is her theme that now overwhelms him in a passage of great warmth and beauty for strings and horns. Further references are made to Fifine and the Fair, but all ends in disaster. There now begins the final section of the work (Lento con malinconia—an Epilogue growing out of a broken-backed version of Elvire's theme, presented fugally by the cellos. Gradually the music takes heart and comes to a triumphant expression of Elvire's love. But if the transgressor is forgiven, an unexpectedly plangent penultimate chord suggest a lingering regret for what has been lost. Not for nothing did Bantock, unlike Browning, subtitle his work 'A Defence of Inconstancy'!

Italian ATS marque exhumed, new sports car planned
by Jeffrey N. Ross (RSS feed) on Oct 10th, 2012 at 11:01AM
We won't hold it against you if you've never hear of the Automobili Turismo e Sport, or ATS. After all, the small Italian automaker made just 12 cars in the 1960s, but it looks like dust is being brushed off this marque after sitting dormant for almost 50 years. Like Lamborghini, ATS was formed following a disagreement with Enzo Ferrari. Two sports cars are planned to carry the ATS nameplate: a lightweight track car powered by a motorcycle engine called the Sport 1000 and the car pictured above, the 2500GT. Named after ATS's original car, the 2500 GT, built from 1962 through 1964, the new... Read More

The emotion is almost too direct. We know that in his dedication of the score to the 'memory of the victims of fascism and war', Shostakovich included himself as a victim, and that, regarding this as his last work, he planned to commit suicide after being forced to join the Communist Party. The extensive self-quotation in the Eighth Quartet is thereby explained, as is the directness of the emotional content, but such was the composer's inherent creative genius that all of these myriad elements are combined with extraordinary thematic integration and cohesion.
This unity is derived from the opening four-note cell, DSCH (the composer's own thematic monogram in German—D, E flat, C, B) occasionally encountered in his post-war music, but never more so than here. The quartet also quotes from his First, Fourth, Tenth and Eleventh Symphonies, the Piano Trio No 2, the First Cello Concerto, the banned opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, and a song well-known in Russia, Exhausted by the hardships of prison. After the quartet was composed, and after overcoming his suicidal mood, Shostakovich began revising the opera as Katerina Ismailova, Op 114. The quartet's underlying tonal scheme, as so often with this composer, echoes the work's emotionally direct thematicism; in terms of broad outlines, the first movement is in C minor, the second—diametrically opposed—is in G sharp minor; the tonality falls semitonally to G minor for the third movement, and the fourth is likewise diametrically opposed, in C sharp minor. This falls, semitonally, to the C minor of the opening tonality to conclude the work.
The first movement begins with the DSCH motif, in the cello. The quartet is, clearly, to be a personal statement by the composer. The motif unfolds as a slow canonic exposition before three further ideas follow: the (very slow) quotation of the opening of the First Symphony, a descending chromatic scale over a long-held pedal bare fifth, and a theme akin to the second subject of the Fifth Symphony's first movement. This material is counter-stated, but in reverse order, before—attacca—the fierce second movement, 'Allegro molto', shatters the fabric of the music.
This dramatic movement is propelled by a driving, impatient rhythm taken from the 'Fifth Symphony' theme and combined with DSCH in octave canon. The drive and impetus of the music is incessant, increasing in intensity until a great climax brings the wry 'Piano Trio' theme, now fff, and the material is recapitulated, the registers altered, and building to a considerable climax. This is suddenly severed and succeeded by a sardonic waltz structure, introduced by DSCH high on the first violin.
This waltz has an obsessed, hauntingly troubled nature, stemming from DSCH and the descending chromatic scale; the movement's second main theme is passionate and vibrant, and, suddenly, the pulse becomes 2/2 with the appearance of the opening theme of the First Cello Concerto—but not on the cello. Almost at once this is gone, and the cello itself now has a high lyrical theme leading to a counterstatement of the material—the cello's theme replaced by an extended unaccompanied violin line whose drone-like A sharp is sustained against clustered 'gunfire' from the lower strings. This is in fact the 'Cello Concerto' theme in massive augmentation, which leads to a deeply moving stream of music created from fragments of (among others) the Tenth and Eleventh Symphonies, DSCH, the revolutionary song and Lady Macbeth. The first violin, which began the movement, closes it with a new statement of the ever-present, all-observing, DSCH motif, expanding in slow fugal texture more fully worked than in the first movement, principally owing to a berceuse-like countersubject in the major, and which, as it progresses, slowly winds the music down to the C minor of DSCH, and thus finally lays this deeply disturbing score to rest.

Georgia May Jagger has clearly won over Madonna and her daughter Lourdes, as the Brit model is fronting the design duo's Material Girl line for a second season. She May be about to set up home in North London with fellow catwalk star Cara Delevingne, but for this campaign she found herself whisked off to Hollywood.
Wearing a selection of pieces from the brand's spring collection including figure-hugging dresses and bold print leggings, the 21-year-old looked very much at home as she posed in front of the iconic backdrop of Los Angeles. In one shot she is seen sipping a milkshake propped up against the counter of popular fast food chain In-n-Out burger, while in another GMJ makes friends with an adorable teacup pig. She also managed to take in the sites of the Hollywood sign, Rodeo Drive and the Walk of Fame – all in a mandatory bright red sports car, natch.
Georgia, who has fronted campaigns for Chanel, Hudson Jeans and Sunglass Hut too revealed 'Material Girl is about having your own personal style and my personal style reflects the brand's aesthetic. I like edgy clothes, and I really love the camouflage vest and cut out dresses for spring.'
The gap-toothed model isn't the first rock star's daughter to act as the face of Material Girl. Kelly Osbourne fronted the brand for their 2011 and 2012 collections and
grungy Gossip Girl actress Taylor Momsen - an aspiring rock star herself - was chosen as the original Material Girl when the brand launched in 2010. While Kelly and Taylor's campaigns were all leather, studs and peroxide tresses, we love how Georgia's latest shoot has given the collection a glam, Hollywood twist.
Material Girl is available exclusively in the UK at Lookagain.co.uk.

You can either link up a directory level and then drop back down using syntax like this a href="../foldername" or just using PHP includes save yourself the trouble of even having to type out the song names and just display the Apache directory output. Or you could just move the songs into a folder in public_html. I could set up a cron job if you like to run hourlyto move songs from A to B so you don't have to move them? The choice is totally up to you. If you need any help, then I sometimes go to IRC as JLP or you can email me using jasonATblagblagblag.org.

No need to reupload the music. I can move it all with one command which I will do tonight.
I don't have anything planned for jason.blagblagblag.org hence why I originally suggested music.blagblagblag.org. Blogging is not my thing and a homepage is not something I am in dire need of right now. No offence to anyone who has either of them as I know some people like Jeff or Steve have a blog/homepage.
Anything I do manage to contribute to BLAG will be going in the wiki anyways whether it is docs, some sort of how to or anything else. So a website is not on the cards though you will be able to download the music via an index of directory listing.

- euh... ... ... I don't know ! Hmmm... yeah I know ! Ehm no I don't know... eeeeuh... I KNOW ! You can do a bittorrent tracker to download BLAG Linux saving bandwitch, and u can made a folding@home team, and... oki that's bad... But you can do a guide destined to windoze's users that want to use linux (a guide that explains to them that don't undestand linux how to install a packet, to compile a tar.gz or a tar.bz2...) ==) that would make BLAG Linux more used ^^ and u can talk about yourself ==)

I don't mind anything for BLAG going on there. I won't talk about myself though. A guide for Windows users is a good idea but maybe something that would fit in the wiki?
You don't have to send me the page. I will send you the login. I was supposed to do it last night but I had to get up at 5am for work and just totally forgot.
Maybe a side by side comparison to show people how to do in Linux what they used to do in Windows i.e. email filters from Outlook Express or something. I have shown a ton of people how to set those up in Evolution for instance. I can do anything in Linux I could do in Windows but Linux is so much bigger than Windows really.

All that Linux can't do, it's only windoze's games, and softwares like apache and samba don't exist in Windoze.
Linux is really better than Windoze, but people think that Linux is for "advanced" user :lol:
Two months ago I used Windoze and I can say that Linux is as simple as windoze ^^ and more useful ^^
So you move the songs on http and u send me the pass and I access to the http seeing the links to download the tracks, I modify the links of the little html page and I upload.

Aye sounds good to me. It will be simple. I will help you if necessary.
One thing to clarify though. Apache is available for Linux. Hell it was based on *nix some time before Windows and it can barely run on Windows hence the use of that waste of time IIS. Apache on Windows isn't even stable at the best of times yet it can run on *nix for ages. I know the BLAG server had over a year of continuous uptime and hell it may be even longer now. Jeff will have toclarify that.
Gaming on XP is as bad as gaming on Linux with Wine in my opinion. Giveit some time and software/hardware vendors will start to realise Linux is actually for them.

Samba doesn't, but Apache does. Also, yes Apache on Windoz is stable now. I've run it for 27 hours before Windows crashed.,.and that was Window's fault, not Apache's, so its fine :P
Personally, I think we do need to have some sort of BLAG -> Windows migration tools. I've already assembled a CD of stuff for people who switch from Windows to BLAG.
It includes things like:
a WinXP style theme (eXperience 1.2, modified by me so it works correctly in GNOME 2.4)
flash player for linux
java for linux
SuperTux (great game :) )
I think we should make something like this and call it 'BLAG beats Windows Pack'
I can definitly help if we want to do something like this...if anybody else is interested, just e-mail me, or get me on #blag @ irc.indymedia.org. FYI, my e-mail is
E-mail me at s.clement@localhost (replace localhost with sympatico.ca) or stevo32@localhost (replace localhost with blagblagblag.org).

100 Greatest Guitar Solos: 51-100
February 03, 2012 at 7:04pm
What morons came up with this list? Where is Duane Allman's solo on Elizabeth Reed from Live at Fillmore East? Not even on here. The greatest solo of all time and not even on the list. You've got Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins way up above David Gilmour's Money solo. What the fuck? About half these solos need to be scratched off the list and replaced by much more deserving solos. Nirvana? WTF?
May 08, 2011 at 4:31pm
Your list incorrectly credits the solo on "...Corvette" to Prince. In fact, I played the solo on the record, and am properly credited on the album. I'd greatly appreciate you making this correction.
Kind regards,
Dez Dickerson
November 01, 2010 at 2:00pm
Me being an overall fan of music in general, I cannot believe Ernie Isley of The Isley Brother's is not on this list, he killed it in "Summer Breeze" and "That Lady"
June 22, 2010 at 5:06pm
Please check the credits for the album 'The Royal Scam'. this solo was played by Larry Carlton, not Denny Diaz. Denny plays a great lead on the very jazzy, funky track 'Green Earrings', from the same LP. PS:I understand most of the readers are rockers, but how about a Jazz/jazz-rock-fusion top 100 list? I'm new to the site and I'm not a regular buyer of your magazine, so in case you guys already published a Jazz/fusion list,my apologies and please refer me to it.Peace
August 20, 2009 at 12:44pm
Sterling Morrison and Lou Reed play guitar on the Velvet Underground version which doesn't have a guitar solo. If I were to take a wild guess here, I think the editors meant the version on the Lou Reed album "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" which feature Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter on guitars.

I have one CANON 550D
I don't know witch lens is better for me from 70-200 or 70-300 L
I need one lens for my free time Travel
Some body can help me
Sorry my english
hi and welcome. i have just got the 70-200 f4l is its just great. i had a choice of 2 the other was the sigma 70-200f2.8os both suited my purpose and not a lot of price difference. i went to a shop tried both out and i went with the canon as it was so much lighter to hold. on the plus side canon are doing a cash back so saved £90.
in the end what are going to shoot will be the deciding factor

There are lots of things to like about the new Rocksteady XS Wireless Bluetooth speaker from Killer Concepts. First, it supports Bluetooth 3.0, so it works with iPhones, iPads, iPods, Android devices, tablets, computers and MP3 players. No matter what type of device you use to stream songs to it, the Rocksteady XS can really crank it out, at 100 decibels, and it's lithium-ion battery will provide the power for 10-plus hours of music listening. If you run out of juice, you can pop in a new battery for extended play.
According to Killer Concepts, the Rocksteady XS is the first speaker of its type to feature a removable/replaceable lithium-ion battery.
The company also claims that the speaker is so durable that you can drop it, stack things on top of it—basically abuse it and it'll keep on ticking. Integrated LED lights on the base of the unit glow to indicate what the speaker is doing: blue means it's on, flashing blue means it's pairing with your Bluetooth device, red signifies charging mode, and purple is charging and 'on' mode.
In addition to Bluetooth connection, the Rocksteady XS supports playback through an included 3.5mm cable, and MP3 files can be played through the speaker's USB port, which can also be used to charge your phone, tablet and other devices.

Obama versus Romney
The race for the White House just got a lot more interesting. Following the first of three live television debates between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, Obama hit out at Romney for allegedly misrepresenting his policies during the debate. Romney was widely seen as putting in a stronger performance in front of the audience in Denver, surprising many observers of US politics.

Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.

sasuke. Itachi is already dead and I don't care about the others
Kakashi n then itachi
I literally cannot choose.
This is the hardest decision ever...
Maybe.. Itachi?
I would free Sasuke lol thats my bro
Naruto then Kakashi
Naruto then Gaara then Kakashi then Itachi then as Sasuke starts to sweat visualizing the rape to come, the id save him.
Clearly you pick the one with the least annoying fanboys. In this case, Gaara.
Just to humor you, the idiot that tired them up obviously, i don't even what to imagine what would happen to him if they caught up with him.
On the flip side, my boy naruto, itachi, kakashi, sasuke and garaa last.
i would have gone for itachi but he is sick and will die anyway so .... i would save kakashi
Caught me off guard, Itachi wouldn't allow himself to be captured like this...
I would personally rush to save Garra along the way pushing Itachi off the cliff n GTFO of there.D
None of them because with the nine tailed fox naruto can go BM mode with the tremendous amount of strength can brake free and free the others I don't need to lift a finger

i dont think they need saving at all
Gaara. That way there would be no annoying fanboys. I would also kill the rest on my way out for fun O. O
Kakashi first, then me and him could go back for Naruto and Gaara. I'd leave Naruto tied up so he doesn't insist on rescuing Sasuke. Having freed three of my friends, I'd go back and carry Itachi out, still tied up and wearing a blindfold so he can't Genjutsu me into rescuing Sasuke.
And I'd leave Sasuke there. Then he can ponder as he slowly dies how he's ostracised every last one of his comrades with his absurd irrational lust for vengeance. If you try and kill all your friends, who's gonna be there to rescue you when you need them, huh, Sasuke?
So yeah, everyone except Sasuke.
then Naruto,then Kakashi, then Itachi..Sasuke can be left to die but Naruto would probably go and save him though he's gonna run off anyways...:/
Kakashi or Itachi to make up a plan to save the others.
Kakashi, and only Kakashi.
Only one there who's not dressed like a blatant homosexual.
Looks like they're all going to get raped or something...
I feel like there about to get raped...

Quality of carpet was great, but the color was called "khaki", which to me denotes brown or beige tones...the label on the carpet was "greyish tan"...the carpet was definitely grey...too grey for me, had to return.
I ordered the Grey rug... when it came it was much more blue than gray. It still works for my home, however be aware that the color is blue/gray, not light gray. Very soft rug. Good price.
I am very satisfied with the color and thickness. It is exactly what I wanted
Very cute and stylish rug. Originally ordered a similar pattern in a flat weave wool, but it was much too scratchy. This rug is much softer, it will be used in our family room. Color is right on and matches the pic in the individual image vs. the group image. A little short of 5x8 in both the length and width, but close enough.

Demand response reduces overall energy usage, but the magnitude of the reduction depends on whether the technologies are developed and deployed with efficiency in mind.
Demand Response: The Green Effect
How demand response programs contribute to energy efficiency and environmental quality.
cross purposes.
DR and Improving Energy Efficiency
Our 2005 Fortnightly article reviewed results from more than 100 DR programs around the country for more than a quarter century and found that these programs have a "conservation effect," cutting energy consumption from more than 20 percent to minus 5 percent (an increase in use).
The new evidence from around the United States and abroad that has become available in the two years since that review further increases confidence in the conclusion that DR reduces total electricity consumption, principally (but not exclusively) during peak periods, but consistently, and has the potential to be a major indirect factor in increasing overall energy efficiency nationally. The new results are included in Table 1.
Important new findings on DR's conservation effect come from a day-ahead hourly pricing pilot run by the Community Energy Cooperative in Chicago. The 1,400 households who have been in the Energy-Smart Pricing Program (ESPP) pilot for three years "are not just shifting their time of use, they're using less electricity … a reduction in [kWh] usage of 3 to 4 percent, relative to what their usage was estimated to be had they not received hourly electricity prices" 3 [emphasis added]. Furthermore, lower-income participants were "as demand responsive" as higher-income participants, and participants are buying certified efficient EnergyStar appliances as replacements more often than are the control group. And it should be noted that these reductions occurred in a program that did not have energy conservation as a major design goal (as is all-too-common in DR efforts). Following this pilot, the Illinois legislature and Commerce Commission ordered that statewide real-time tariffs be available to Illinois customers—utilities' proposals have been approved and took effect Jan. 2, 2007.
How Does DR Reduce Electricity Consumption?
Several aspects of DR reduce consumers' overall energy usage, the magnitude of which depends not only on the DR technologies and practices used, but whether they are developed and deployed with efficiency in mind. Education and support to the customer, important in energy-efficiency programs, also are important to DR programs.
One of the most common DR applications (particularly in commercial buildings and particularly for short periods) is the dimming of lights or switching off of certain fixtures. Lighting-based DR does not shift load, it eliminates the load without a rebound because post-event, the area won't be "overlit" to compensate for the earlier "under" lighting. (Additionally, the reduced lighting may lead to a reduction in air conditioning during peaks.)
Another source of DR-driven load cuts that don't rebound are those that take place at the end of the work day, which often is the case as summer peaks can commence in the late afternoon. If reduced air conditioning is used for DR late in the work day of an office building, by the time the event or price signal is over, the workers may have left and the air conditioning will move to the (warmer) evening-hours setting. Finally, a familiar source of non-rebounding shifts are those in which the consumer chooses to not (or forgets to) rebound, such as the homeowner who reduces

With its 500 mines, Calico produced over $20 million in silver ore over a 12-year span. When silver lost its value in the mid-1890's, Calico lost its population. The miner's packed up, loaded their mules and moved away abandoning the town that once gave them a good living. It became a "ghost town."
Walter Knott purchased Calico in the 1950's architecturally restoring all but the five original buildings to look as they did in the 1880's. Calico received State Historical Landmark 782 and in 2005 was proclaimed by then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to be California's Silver Rush Ghost Town.
CAUTION: Mines in the Calico area are extremely hazardous and must not be approached for any reason!

In this question, the OP asks about the problem of his wife's fingers being too short to cover the guitar's fretboard entirely. Similarly, my wife wants to start learning piano and her fingers are also short. I am just wondering if there is anything negative related to short fingers and playing the piano.
Naturally, someone with small fingers won't be able to make the larger reaches in some pieces. Some stretches aren't reachable even by people with average size hands. Not every piece is for everyone. In particular there are some Bach, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff pieces requiring stretches of an octave or more (though I couldn't tell you which ones offhand). Rachmaninoff could reach a 13th!
That said, your wife should have no problem starting out. As she advances there may be some pieces she has difficulty with; these can either be skipped or modified. This question may be helpful here: Well-known composers or piano pieces generally suitable for someone with small hands?
I personally know a wonderful pianist and composer with small hands, so it's certainly possible to do well in spite of it. As noted in the answers to the question above there are famous composers and players with small hands.
As for other potential problems, I guess that it may be easier to strain small hands. Stretching is important as well as taking appropriate breaks, and not trying to force more than one can handle.
Music is not like sports, where a 5-foot-tall basketball player or 7-foot-tall jockey will have difficulty making money at it.
With small hands and short fingers probably won't be asked to play the Rachmaninoff concerti with the Berlin Philharmonic, but let's face it, how many of us ARE asked to play the Rachminoff concerti with the Berlin Philharmonic?
For most kinds of music -- jazz, rock, pop, blues, country -- small hands don't matter. You can play the chords any way you want -- all spread out, or all bunched up within an octave. For these kinds of music, playing all the notes as written is not important; conveying the feeling is what's important.
Most classical pieces from Mozart onwards have octaves and will be difficult to play as written for someone who can't span a full octave. You can still play them recognizeably, leaving notes out. Most listeners who aren't themselves pianists will not even notice the difference. You won't win any competitions, but then if you're in music for the competitions, you probably should be in sports instead.
Trivia: Josef Lhevinne had very small hands, but that didn't stop him from being one of the greatest pianists of all time.
It is generally not much of a problem if you can reach an octave with the pinkie and thumb.
You can compensate somewhat for small hands and lack of reach with fingering changes, such has using the other hand for one of the notes, and occasionally leaving out a note.
I have discovered that Franz Liszt had significantly larger hands than I do!
I would not say there's anything negative associated with having short fingers or small hands. Alicia DeLarrocha, easily one of the greatest pianists of all time, was famous for having small hands.
She increased the flexibility of her hands through specially developed stretching exercises which I may have a copy of (email me, and I may be able to get a hold of them.) I don't know if they're available in print or not.
In any case, your wife can always just arpeggiate chords that are too big to play. Lots of pianists have to do it, you just have to learn to be clever about hiding the fact that this is happening. Break chords up into groups instead of just "rolling" them. Also, experiment with arpeggiating before and on the beat. Keep in mind that arpeggiating on the beat will cause a tempo distortion.
If she can get up to an octave, she should have no problems playing at all. (I can reach a 12th, and I still have to arpeggiate chords from time to time :).)

Chow Down and Drink up with this combo
Tired of juggling your lunch box in one hand and your vacuum bottle of coffee in the other? Stanley's got the answer with this ingenious snap-together combo of their famous thermos and rugged, jumbo-sized lunchbox. This set has been known to survive being driven over by a truck and dropped from girders, plus it's plenty roomy to hold food enough to handle your working man's appetite.

Best Uses
The $75 price is ridiculous, I mean I've seen these for like $25 for the cooler and $20 for the thermos plus a smaller one with it.
The cooler is pretty good and I use the small section for my lunch and the big section for additional water since I need more than one quart on a daily basis for my work in forestry.
The thermos is awesome it keeps everything hot or cold whichever you like and is a pretty good size. It locks fairly well on top of the cooler and only comes off accidently with a fairly good jarring.
Best Uses
It's a great lunch box and thermos combo, attachment makes for a great space saver on the road. The only issue, after I bought this here, about 3 weeks later I found a rollback price of $19.95 on the thermos, and $22.99 on the cooler. So imagine my anger finding out I paid $35 more + shipping.
Best Uses
I have used this lunchbox for about 20 years now and gotten many compliments on it from others at my job sites. I really like how the thermos locks on top of the lunch box. Box is very strong and sturdy, shows little dirt, and adequate room for my large lunches.
I am glad to see companies have resurrected this vintage model and offer it again. If mine wasn't still just like new, I would buy another one!
Best Uses
this lunch box accompanies me in my landscape truck...it travels well through the daily grind of dirt, bumps and spills. However the fixed compartment sizes limit my beverage size choices as i always need additional fluids during the heat of summer. Also opening this box is a pain...the tight latch is understandable but some days my fat fingers just have a tougher time getting the blasted lid open...guess i should have gone for the larger, soft sided feed bag.
Best Uses
This combo lunch box/thermos is awesome. I start work at 4 am and the coffee is still warm at 10. It can take a beating in the back of a truck and doesn't take up much space, while storing more food than you need. Great product, highly recommended for anyone working early and long hours.
Best Uses
I was cutting vertical 6x6 Steele beams about 8' high when I fell one onto my misplaced lunch box. The hit ejected my vacuum bottle about 15' and crushed the corner of the lunchbox. Surprisingly it only put a very small dent in bottle and broke about a 1" x 2" piece of the plastic liner easily fixed with a piece of duct tape. Overall no serious damage was done and a week later the crushed corner (lid and box) had reformed back to its original shape!
