Commodities Are King, the Weather's For Sale
Oil, gold, and other commodities go up in step with recession fears. Landmark Communications is putting itself, and The Weather Channel, up for sale. And Netflix and LG Electronics team up.
Oil and gold flirt with record highs
Gold hit a new high of $863.11 an ounce early today, not adjusted for inflation, and oil futures hovered near the record $100-a-barrel mark set during trading yesterday, as investors turned to commodities as a hedge against inflation. Palm oil also hit a new high, soybean traded at a 34-year high, and wheat and corn shot up. (Bloomberg) "This is a bullish extravaganza," said Phil Flynn at futures brokerage Alaron Trading. (MarketWatch) Analysts said the high price of oil, in particular, could tip the U.S. into recession, although some doubted that oil would stay as high as $100. (BusinessWeek.com)
The Weather Channel to go up for sale
Family-owned media company Landmark Communications is looking to sell its assets, which include nine daily newspapers and The Weather Channel, according to Landmark's flagship paper, The Virginian-Pilot. (AP in Yahoo! Finance) The Weather Channel, one of the last independent cable channels, could sell for more than $5 billion, with NBC, News Corp., and Comcast all interested in the channel and its Web site, weather-dot-com. The Web site is the 18th most frequented, topping Facebook and CNN. (The New York Times, free registration required)
Netflix shoots for instant gratification
Mail-based DVD renter Netflix and LG Electronics are teaming up to provide Netflix customers with ways to view movies on their TV through an Internet connection. The partnership is an extension of Netflix's year-old online movie-viewing service, which has been hampered by its reliance on PCs. (BusinessWeek.com) Netflix also plans to team up with other electronic companies and stream movies to other devices. (The New York Times, free registration required) Rival movie-download service CinemaNow is also looking to expand though a partnership with software firm Macrovision. (AP in Yahoo! Finance)
Laptop as fashion accessory
In an acknowledgment that style is becoming more important in selling computers, Microsoft is holding a "fashion show" next week to demonstrate that Windows-based laptops can be just as stylish as Apple's wares. Research shows that consumers will pony up an extra $204 for a well-designed, high-end laptop, and companies like Lenovo, HP, Sony, and even Dell are becoming increasingly fashion-conscious in response. "We're entering the age of style because we have multiple PCs in our households," explains Forrester Research analyst J.P. Gownder. "You no longer have one white box that serves every function for every person in the household." (BusinessWeek.com)

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to catch up bit by bit after being out of action with DH being so ill. I've read all your updates and it all sounds so exciting. I'm so excited for you all and hope that you continue to have healthy and happy pregnancies. I can't wait to see photos of your beautiful babies. In the meantime, belly pics are always welcome! ;-)
How are you all doing this week? Any news? Doc appointments? any prayer requests?
|Wed, 09-01-2010 - 10:42am
Hi ladies!
I'll be 35 weeks Friday. I can't believe she'll be here in about 5 weeks!
We are moved in to our new house, DH has started his new job, and we really love it here. Just a couple more boxes to unpack, and today I am in the middle of washing all our baby clothes.
Hope you all are doing well, and I look forward to reading other updates!
Rachel- glad to see you back!!
|Wed, 09-01-2010 - 4:38pm
Hi everyone! I'm supper happy you're back Rachel!:)
Thanks for checking on me!
I had my first apointment on monday. Everythings going well not much to tell about it. The Dr says unless somethings wrong I just come in for the normall blood work pee in a cup, how are you feeling aptmt. My Dr will probably call tomorrow with my blood work result. His not calling sooner means i'm just another regular pregnant woman wich is great!!
Morning sickness is giving me a hard time, it never goes away I wake up with it and go to bed with it!:( and I have very little energy! If I don't take naps, by 4:00pm I feel like I might fall over It wasn't that way with DS.
Also my belly is huge!!LOL! I look about 13weeks or more! We want to wait till my next apointment to tell friends, But if anyone sees me they'll know!LOL!
I keep wondering If we're having twins! I'll try to post a picture so you could see.

hi ladies! welcome back rachel! good to see you back :) as for me, nothing really exciting going on. stella moves a ton! but all of her movements are on my right side...i wonder if she is laying in a weird position...hopefully whatever it is, its head down! :) still having the migraines but they seem to not be as bad...they are still pretty painful but i seem to be able to still do things while i have it where as before all i could do was close my eyes and go to sleep. someone i know mentioned they had the migraines too and they went away in the 3T which is in another week so maybe ill be lucky like that too :)
her room is starting to come along. the painting is finally done, so we can order the carpet now! yay! once the carpet is in, we can finally put the crib together thats been sitting in my family for 2 weeks now! and my mom got us our changing table but it came in damaged so they sent it back...so we will have to order another one now. its from walmart so instead of just replacing it with another one, they send it back and give us a refund then we just have to reorder it...which is kinda stupid but its ok. we have time still so its not like we are in a rush. i also bought some pink and brown circle decals tonight to go on her walls! i cant wait to put it all together :) i will be sure to post pics when its starting to come together!
my next appt is sept 15th and thats my 28 week check up, my GD test, and i have to get my Rhogam shot because im RH negative! so it will be an eventful appt :) i jsut cant believe im at this point already! at the beginning it just seemed sooo far away! i cant even believe it. after that appt i start going every 2 weeks! im getting nervous thinking about how close we are. i havent even started my christmas shopping like i had planned too! well i bought my nephew a couple of things today but thats it! my goal is by november :) hope all of you ladies are doing well and you are all in my prayers!

This application claims priority to and the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional application No. 60/423,505 filed Nov. 4, 2002 titled �integrated Cervical-Thoracic-Lumbar Spine Array Coil� and which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coils and, in particular, to array coils therefor.
The phased array configuration for RF coils in magnetic resonance imaging was introduced by Roemer et al. as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 4,825,162. Based on this design a set of surface coil loops are critically decoupled relative to each other and simultaneously receive the NMR signal which is generated in the imaging region that is excited by a dedicated volume coil. The signal from these surface coils is then reconstructed to generate an image which is multiple times larger that the size of each individual loop in the array. According to this method, because the size of each element in the phased array is relatively small compared with the final reconstructed image, the noise figure is reduced and the signal obtained from each element of the phased array is increased, and the final results is a significant increase in Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for the final reconstructed image. The first application of this phased array design was intended for the spine region. The logic behind this application was that the required coverage of the spine area on the human body is extremely large and a single receive coil structure can not adequately provide the image quality necessary for clinical evaluation.
Modification have been presented over the years including modifications or improvement of Roemer's invention. Specifically Keren. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,198,768 extended Roemer's invention to include figure-8 shaped loops commonly known as �butterflies�.
Following that patent was U.S. Pat. No. 5,543,711 by Srinivasan et al. where instead of surface coils for receive only purposes, he only utilized birdcage resonators which are volume RF coils for a phased array configuration.
In order to enhance the ability to image the cervical-thoracic-lumbar spine area, a new phased array design (U.S. Pat. No. 6,624,633) was developed to cover this area. This design includes, for example, 6 quadrature pairs (6 loop and 6 saddle coils in quadrature configuration).
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,910,728 entitled �Simultaneous acquisition of Spatial Harmonics (SMASH): Ultra Fast Imaging with Radio Frequency Coils�, Sodickson describes a parallel processing algorithm that exploits spatial information inherent in a surface coil array to increase magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition speed, resolution and/or field of view. Partial signals are acquired simultaneously in the component coils of the array and formed into two or more signals corresponding to orthogonal spatial representations. In a Fourier embodiment, lines of the k-space matrix required for image production are formed using a set of separate, preferably linear combinations of the component coil signals to substitute for spatial modulations normally produced by phase encoding gradients. The signal combining may proceed in a parallel or flow-through fashion, or as post-processing, which in either case reduces the need for time-consuming gradient switching and expensive higher field magnet arrangements.
In the post-processing approach, stored signals are combined after the fact to yield the full data matrix. In the flow-through approach, a plug-in unit consisting of a coil array with an on board processor outputs two or more sets of combined spatial signals for each spin conditioning cycle, each directly corresponding to a distinct line in k-space. This partially parallel imaging strategy, SMASH, is readily integrated with many existing fast imaging sequences, yielding multiplicative time savings without a significant sacrifice in spatial resolution or signal-to-noise ratio.
In a similar fashion another parallel processing algorithm was presented where the acceleration of image acquisition was performed on the time domain space instead of the frequency domain space. This parallel acquisition technique referred as SENSE (SENSitivity Encoding) by K. P. Prueessmann et. al. in their PCT Patent Application No. WO9954746A1 entitled �Magnetic Resonance Imaging Method and Apparatus� shows a method for obtaining images by means of magnetic resonance (MR) of an object placed in a static magnetic field, which method includes simultaneous measurement of a number of sets of MR signals by application gradients and an array of receiver coils, reconstruction of a number of receiver coil images from the sets MR signals measured and reconstruction of a final image from a distant dependent sensitivity of the receiver coils and the first plurality of receiver coil images. In order to reduce the acquisition time the number of phase encoding steps corresponding to the phase-encoding gradient is reduced with a reduction factor compared to standard Fourier imaging, while a same field of view is maintained as in standard Fourier imaging. In this way fast cardiac imaging may be possible. According to the application the calculation of complicated matrix inversion can be simplified by determining of an image vector of the final image from a combination of a generalized inverse of a sensitivity matrix and a receiver coil image vector. In this way aliasing artifacts in the final image are reduced. Furthermore, the reconstruction method enables application of non-integer reduction factors.
Over the past few years, different modifications of these techniques have been presented. GRAPPA (Generalized Autocalibrating Partially Parallel Acquisitions) technique (M. K. Griswold et. al. Magnetic Resonance in Medicine), a modified SMASH technique, where according to that technique, no detailed and highly accurate RF field map of the coil array is required prior to image acquisition. According to that technique, for each image acquisition, additional lines on the center of k-space are obtained that are needed to describe the RF field map of the array. Thus this technique can compensate for any motions or changes on the profile of the RF field map during the image acquisition. According to this technique, SNR and image quality are improved since the steps of image reconstruction and image combination are performed in separate steps.
The characteristics of all of these parallel imaging techniques is that the acceleration speed is directly proportional to the number of independent receivers along the direction that the image acceleration needs to be applied. In these terms, the higher the number of receiver coils the faster the acceleration speed for acquiring an image with better SNR and improved image quality. It is characteristic that for coils focused on SENSE applications the SNR of the accelerated image is given by:
After the introduction of SMASH and SENSE techniques, a plethora or new coil designs were presented trying to incorporate the advantages of high speed imaging using parallel acquisition techniques. Wieger et al. used a six element array of loops separated by 1 cm between adjacent elements that was capable of accelerating the image acquisition by a factor of R=3 without degrading clinically the resulting images. This coil focused on imaging the periphery of the human torso and was concentrated only on the cardiac anatomy of the human body. Most of the SENSE, SMASH application papers are targeting brain imaging applications (�Design of a SENSE optimized High Sensitivity MRI Receive coil for Brian Imaging�, Jaco. A de Zwart, et. al. Mag. Res. Med. 47:1218�1227 (2002)). There has been no use of the techniques for imaging the cervical through the thoracic and ending on the lumbar spine.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,624,633 shows a cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine coil. The presence of a loop and a saddle coil provides the optimum SNR at the region of the spinal cord and the disc area, but it can not be altered to be suitable for SENSE and SMASH parallel processing applications. The reason is that the saddle and the loop are designed to provide the strongest and more uniform circularly polarized field on the spine area. since the B1 profile for these two coils is nearly indistinguishable around the spine region, the g-factor values for such a coil are severely elevated.
A MRI array coil for imaging a human includes a posterior array, an anterior torso array and an anterior head-neck-upper-chest array. The head-neck-upper-chest array has a head portion mountable to the anterior array and a neck-upper-chest portion hingingly attached to the head portion.
Referring to
The head-neck-upper-chest array 16 includes a head portion 18 and a neck-upper-chest portion 20.
The posterior array 12 is in the form of a rigid structure the patient lays on. The patent's head is cradled in the area 22. After a patient lays on the array 12, the head portion 18 is mounted to the array 12 by the interlocking structures 24, 26 or by other suitable method. The neck-upper-chest portion 20 is attached to the head portion 18 by a hinging joint 28. It is also possible to make the portion of the posterior array 12 that is not involved in the mounting of the array 16 flexible. In addition, a rigid frame may be used in the array 12 and the coils themselves made flexibly conformable to the patient.
The neck-upper-chest portion 20 may be pivoted downwardly to a position suitable for a small patient as shown in
The anterior torso array 14 may also may be of a flexible construction such as foil coil elements in a flexible plastic structure. This allows the array 14 to conform closely to the human torso. The array 14 may also be secured to the array 12 with flexible straps 29.
Referring to
The twenty elements of
It is of course possible to employ other coil configurations depending on the desired SNR, acceleration factor and such issues as the number of receiver channels.
There are three primary objectives for choosing a particular SENSE geometry for a radio frequency (RF) resonator. The first objective is to maintain and/or improve SNR over the maximum possible coverage or field of view (FOV) for the coil. The second objective is to generate the best possible RF field uniformity inside the targeted FOV. The third objective is to design an RF coil that is compatible with parallel acquisition techniques, like SENSE, SMASH and their derivatives, with the maximum acceleration factor possible across any preferred direction. The array coil 10 provides a coil with parallel imaging capabilities across any direction of the imaging plane.
The attachment of the neck-upper-chest portion 20 to the head portion 18 allows the portion 20 to exhibit an up and down rotational motion, as well as, an up and down translational motion. This allows the portion 20 to conform as close as possible to the chest and upper neck anatomy of any size human subject.
It should be evident that this disclosure is by way of example and that various changes may be made by adding, modifying or eliminating details without departing from the fair scope of the teaching contained in this disclosure. The invention is therefore not limited to particular details of this disclosure except to the extent that the following claims are necessarily so limited.

Answer:Ah! Here we are…. If one is very sensitive, very sensitive — one must be very sensitive — the moment they touch the subtle body and try to pass through, one feels it. 448 more words

FlameZ's Nuzlocke Adventure Begins
by, 30th August 2010 at 10:38 PM (342 Views)
All right so here it is, my Nuzlocke adventure, I decided to get a Charmander and call it HiPS as normal rules say I'll only catch the first Pokemon...but since I hate that rule instead I'll catch the first two Pokemon that appear only if they're different Pokemon and if there's at least a level of difference, no matter if it's lower or higher.
So let's begin.
-I open my eyes to see some weird old man in front of me, the man tells me his name's Oak and he's some kind of professor
-I tell him I'm a guy, and he gets a smile on his face, which creeps me out
-Apparently this guy is senile since he doesn't remember his grandson's name so I just name the kid Goofy (I liked the cartoon a lot)
-I woke up to find that it was all a weird dream, when I get down my mom tells me all boys should leave home someday, so I pack up my things and bid the woman goodbye, I never liked her anyways
-When I try to get out the old creepy Professor Oak comes talk to me and takes me to his lab, I try to see if there's anyone that can help me but they're all busy talking about video games
-We get to his lab and I see Goofy acting like a bitch for not wanting to wait, so Oak tells me I can pick a Pokemon first, Goofy starts bitching but I just punch him in the face and go to the desk.
-Charmander get, named it HiPS
-Goofy, like the son of a bitch he is picks Squirtle and challenges me
-HiPS kicks Goofy's and Squirtle's ass with a barrage of scratches without a single scratch on him
-I leave Pallet and go into Route 1 to grind a little bit, get HiPS to learn ember and also got him to level 8
-Some dude in the Poke Mart gives me a box, apparently in this world you can't say no to being a delivery service, I just hope some kid in some other region isn't stuck doing the same thing for a four eyes professor.
-I go back and give Oak his parcel, before he gives me and Goofy some advance computer,
-I stash the computer away and I go to get a Town Map from Goofy's hot sister, I can't believe they're related, I would so tap her if she wasn't a sprite and actually had a body
-I go into Route 1 again and get a Potion from Pokemart guy
-Pidgey get named it Feliciano

One of the best characteristics of "The Gingerbread Man" is its versatility. There are countless versions of this popular tale and students will love exploring them all. After introducing the traditional story to students, find available variations. Select a diverse collection including a variety of characters, settings and story events. Popular kindergarten titles include "The Gingerbread Girl" by Lisa Campbell Ernst, "The Gingerbread Boy" by Richard Egielski, "Gingerbread Baby" by Jan Brett and "The Gingerbread Cowboy" by Janet Squires. Create a grid by writing literature elements down the left vertical side of a poster board and book titles across the top horizontal side. Try including literature elements such main character, setting, supporting characters, ending and character "chant." After reading a version of the story, enlist student help to fill in the book's column on the grid. Try writing student responses on sticky notes and placing them in the appropriate boxes on the chart. Discuss similarities and differences between the stories. After reading all the chosen variations, encourage students to discuss which was their favorite and why.
Gingerbread Man Activities for Kindergarten
"The Gingerbread Man" is a beloved story and a perfect kindergarten unit near the holidays. Students love the playful nature of the plot and enjoy exploring different versions of the story. Incorporating a variety of language and math skills into engaging activities provides students with essential practice while fostering their love of this traditional story.
Literature Exploration
A Delicious Graph
Focus on graphing concepts while decorating and eating gingerbread man cookies. Before the lesson, prepare a large class bar graph with three choices across the bottom -- head, arm and leg. If desired, label the left vertical side with number references. Make sure to include enough boxes in each column for every student. Bake or buy enough bare gingerbread man cookies for the class. Provide frosting, sprinkles and candy for decorations. After students decorate their cookies, allow them to choose what their first bite will be -- the gingerbread man's head, arm or leg. Invite students to take one bite of their cookie and then come record their choice on the class graph. Before allowing students to finish their cookies, discuss the results of the graph including which choice has the most and least and whether any of the choices are equal. Encourage students to explain why they chose that body part as their first bite. For example, a student may choose to bite his leg so he can't run away from her. After reviewing the graph, allow students to finish their cookie creations.
Gingerbread Man Glyph
Using glyphs in the classroom helps students learn to represent data in visual form as well as analyze and read visual representations of information. To complete this glyph, students must listen carefully to directions and create their gingerbread man according to their information. Provide each student with a brown gingerbread man cutout. Provide specific directions for decorating the cutout. For example, "If you are a girl, give your gingerbread man blue eyes. If you are a boy, make his eyes green." Continue to provide directions including nose, mouth, buttons and decorations. For example, "If you like to eat gingerbread, make your buttons triangle. If you do not like to eat gingerbread, make your buttons circle." When students complete their glyphs, display them on a bulletin board along with a key listing the directions. Encourage students to read their peers' glyphs and guess who they belong to.
Gingerbread Play Dough
Encourage fine motor development with this twist on traditional play dough. Students will love using rollers and cutters to explore this homemade play dough and the delicious scent. Mix one cup flour, 1/2 cup salt and two teaspoons cream of tartar in a medium bowl. Add traditional gingerbread spices such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice until the play dough has a noticeable scent. Mix one cup water and one teaspoon vegetable oil in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients and cook the mixture in a sauce pot on low for two to three minutes. Stir the mixture frequently. When the dough starts to pull away from the pot, remove to a counter and knead until smooth. Cool, store in a container and allow students to play.

Three more men have been arrested in the Somerset Levels on suspicion of stealing fuel as flooding continues to take its toll.
The trio, aged 51, 35 and 24, were stopped by police at 4am on Friday in Kingsdown, near the flooded village of Muchelney.
Officers found drums and an electric pump in their 4x4. All of them were taken to Yeovil police station following their arrests.
It follows the theft of 600 gallons of domestic heating oil from a farm in Moorland the previous Friday, while two fire service quad bikes were also taken from the village of Burrowbridge on the same night.
Thieves have been targeting flood stricken communities across the country, even looting abandoned cars.
The Somerset Levels have been particularly affected by the flooding, with many residents in the area urged to evacuate their homes.
Flooding is becoming an increasingly common reason for
car insurance claims as motorists get caught out by rising river levels.

Hey do you do requests?
WOuld/could you make a 'nother update for the mesafallback mod? One that changes the uniform of the HECU marines to MARPAT desert or woodland pattern?
I think it would look cool is all.
I might see what I can do to make textures with these different types of camo, but I'd have to recreate those parts of the textures almost entirely. It's probably not anything I'm going to do soon.
Hey. Checked out the update for "Mesa Fallback" thanks man. Helleuva job. I like you.
Thanks. Just want you to know, I added a new gameinfo.txt to the SVN, so Mesa-Fallback will work with the SteamPipe update now.
Hey, the redux is back friend! =D

"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"This card is so cute, I bought it to use as thank you cards for my baby. It's the perfect size to express gratitude, but not too big to where you would have to write a lot larger to fill up the card ;) I will definitely re-order these when I run out, they're perfect!"
"I ran out of my other personalized thank you notes and ended up ordering these in their place. If I would have known how great these cards were, I would have ordered them originally. The colors are so vivid and the quality of the paper is excellent. I especially like the polka dots on the back. Well done Tiny Prints!"
"I bought these to use as thank-you cards to coordinate with the Sketched Sweetness invitations for my son's baptism. They are both described as the color Aloe, so I took a chance and the colors do match perfectly. I was able to choose the same font on both products which was great. The quality of both the photo and the paper itself were excellent as always."
"I looked through a number of cards on this site before deciding on this one. I wanted to use one of my favorite baby pictures, and this card's layout and color scheme meshed with the picture perfectly. The design and print quality were excellent, and I ended up with exactly what I was looking for. This is a beautiful card that strikes an excellent balance between a formal feel and a personal one."

Senior Officer Ryan Mann is dispatched to a call of a truck that was weaving in and out of traffic and is now parked in a bowling alley parking lot. Officer Mann locates the truck, which takes off as he tries to approach the driver. Officer Mann initiates a pursuit and follows him for a few miles. The truck never tries to speed away but swerves up and down curbs and blows up a mailbox. He finally travels down a dead end street and stops. Officers remove the driver from the vehicle and take him into custody. It is discovered that the driver had been smoking marijuana and drinking and was going to use his free pass to bowl a few frames at a local bowling alley.

Two former NFL first-round draft picks have been arrested in Miami, Florida by the FBI. The two players arrested were charged with identity theft charges with intent to file false tax returns. DT William Joseph and RB Michael Bennett were the two players arrested. A third player was also arrested, Louis Gachelin, the half-brother of current Denver Broncos player Elvis Dumervil. Joseph is a former University of Miami player who was drafted in 2003 by the New York Giants. Bennett was drafted in the first-round in 2001 by the Minnesota Vikings and spent time in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders. The defendants in the case are charged with trying to cash $500,000 dollars worth of fraudulently obtained tax refund checks according to the Miami Herald. The trio of players were caught by trying to cash the illegally obtained checks at a store front set up by the FBI. All three players were granted bond and will be arraigned in Federal court on...

This tour was amazing!
Very worthwhile trip - not to be missed if you visit near this area. Finding bus station entrance at Hamamatscuto Station was a bit time consuming - best done up front. We were lucky and had a view of the mountain top just before reaching 5th Station after which clouds obscured the whole mountain. Chances of great views are somewhat problomatic. Lake and cable car rides were enjoyable (again no views of Fuji due to clouds / mist). Bullet train was busy but again something I feel 'has to be done'. Very well organised trip.
This tour was amazing!
This tour was amazing!
Our tour guide, Noriko, was fantastic. She was helpful and informative and utterly charming. We also had spectacular views of Mt. Fuji and Mt. Hokane. Loved the cable car and Shinkansen rides. We enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you.
Great day trip from Tokyo. Coach was very comfortable and the tour guide was wonderful. The whole day was very well organised, we felt we saw a lot and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We opted not to go with the Lunch option and happy we did.....found a great Pork Katsu curry in an upstairs cafe right on Lake Kawagashi. Mt Fuji lived up to expectations as did Lake Ashi and the Bullet train ride home. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Lake Ashi and Hakone were fantastic! We would have stayed there if we had known about such a beautiful place!
The guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about Tokyo, Japan and Mt Fuji.She also explained what it was like growing up in Japan and the many aspects of the Japanese culture. I was particularly impressed with how she made sure everyone knew what train and the platform they needed to be at to get back to the hotel at the end of the tour.
Unfortunately, the weather was not so good, so only had brief glimpses of the top of Mt Fuji. The cruise was breathtakingly beautiful albeit quite short. Disappointingly, the fog at the top of the cable car station meant the views were severely restricted. The bullet train was a good experience.
I would definitely recommend this tour, and I hope to get the opportunity to do it again during a different time of the year when visibility is better.
Our tour guide was fantastic, she made the long bus ride entertaining and educational. We were lucky, Mt. Fuji was visible! We had a lovely lunch and went on to a thrilling tram ride in Hakone and boat ride on Lake Ashi. It was a spectacular experience and I'm not one for group tours.
Lovly trip. Great guide. Lovely weather
Definitely worth it! Excellent guide and very organised tour. Prepaid lunch could be better. Also time spent at the station to look at Mt Fuji is too little.
The entire day was incredible made more interesting and enjoyable by our tour guide named Amy , she was an absolute treasure. The weather was pretty bad, it rained and Fuji was hidden in the clouds but we managed a sneak view as the mist cleared for about 5 minutes. The lake cruise was disappointing solely because of the weather. The entire day was well manage from beginning to end. The Bullet train is well named and a thrill to behold as it thunders through the station on the way to Tokyo. I thoroughly recommend this days outing, it covers a lot of ground and if possible insist on getting Amy as your guide she really is special in so many ways.
Everything was efficient!
Getting to the meeting point (the bus station) was a little challenging, but we gave ourselves plenty of time to get lost and still get there on time.
Our tour guide, Mr Take was exceptionally. Great entertainer, comedian, singer, etc. he took care of all our needs. (My friend is vegetarian) he made sure she got the right plate. He even wrote down on a piece of paper our diet preferences for our future use.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature was not cooperative. Station 5 on Mt Fuji was extremely foggy. We only caught a glimpse of the mountain from the road.
Lunch was excellent.
Lake Ashi and the cable car ride was fun, although also foggy. It was fun to suddenly run into treasures you couldn't see. :)
Tokyo Station is huge and confusing. Wish we got to personally say goodbye and thank you to Mr Take. But I dropped something important and had to rush back. We lost sight of him and the other guests by the time we got back.
A very friendly woman helped us find our way back. She even walked with us to our exit even though she looked like she was in a hurry.
Wasn't expecting the Bullet train ride. Luved it! Luved the whole experience!
We got back late afternoon. Enough time for us to take the subway and see Ginza and Shabuya in action at night. Stumbled into a delicious Ramen restaurant in Shabuya, unfortunately I can't remember the name. I can still taste the soup. It was delish!
Great way to see and experience many things in a short amount of time.
It was very informative
Everything was well-organized, we just had to be there on time. Our guide, Yoko, is very knowledgeable. Her comments were very informative if you're looking to learn about the areas you're passing through. And she made sure we all were enjoying ourselves. Highly recommend this especially to first-time tourist to Mt. Fuji.

$399.99Sound and playability are the two most important components in an instrument. However, the importance of the visual aspect cannot be denied. The appearance and sound of these three unique instruments were designed for the player who is looking for a completely different voice. Ibanez doesn't think you'll find anything else quite like the EW guitars. If you do find something somewhat similar, you'll find that the price isn't remotely similar. These are simply great -- and very different -- guitars at great prices. > More

Taco Cowboy points out a new study that shows it is possible to figure out the IP address of someone who pays for transactions anonymously online using bitcoins. "The Bitcoin system is not managed by a central authority, but relies on a peer-to-peer network on the Internet. Anyone can join the network as a user or provide computing capacity to process the transactions. In the network, the user's identity is hidden behind a cryptographic pseudonym, which can be changed as often as is wanted. Transactions are signed with this pseudonym and broadcast to the public network to verify their authenticity and attribute the Bitcoins to the new owner. In their new study, researchers at the Laboratory of Algorithmics, Cryptology and Security of the University of Luxembourg have shown that Bitcoin does not protect user's IP address and that it can be linked to the user's transactions in real-time. To find this out, a hacker would need only a few computers and about €1500 per month for server and traffic costs. Moreover, the popular anonymization network "Tor" can do little to guarantee Bitcoin user's anonymity, since it can be blocked easily."

An anonymous reader writes The team over at the BITCOMSEC (Bitcoin Community Security) project released a second part to their 'Tracking a Bitcoin Thief' series in which they disclose what happened to a once-rising alternate crypto currency project that promised to place guaranteed value of its MidasCoins by backing it with actual Gold. Dealing with the reality of user compromise, the projects founder ups and runs away with all of the communities coins; cashing them out at an exchange for Bitcoins. A sobering tale of trust issues within the alternate crypto currency community. (The first part is interesting, too.)

coondoggie writes: The U.S. Marshals office says it will auction off almost 50,000 bitcoins (about $20 million worth) seized from alleged Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht. The auction, which is the second sale of Silk Road's bitcoin collection, will take place during a 6-hour period on Dec. 4 from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. EST. Bids will be accepted by email from pre-registered bidders only, the U.S. Marshals office said. In June more than $17 million in bitcoins seized from the Silk Road take-down were auctioned off.

wiredmikey writes A Dutch entrepreneur has had two microchips containing Bitcoin injected into his hands to help him make contactless payments. The chips, enclosed in a 2mm by 12mm capsule of "biocompatible" glass, were injected using a special syringe and can communicate with devices such as Android smartphones or tablets via NFC. "What's stored on the microchips should be seen as a savings account rather than a current account," Martijn Wismeijer, co-founder of MrBitcoin said. "The payment device remains the smartphone, but you transfer funds from the chips." The chips are available on the Internet, sold with a syringe for $99, but Wismeijer suggested individuals should find a specialist to handle the injection to avoid infections.

HughPickens.com writes: Jeremy Kirk writes at PC World that in the aftermath of U.S. and European law enforcement shutting down more than 400 websites (including Silk Road 2.0) which used technology that hides their true IP addresses, Tor users are asking: How did they locate the hidden services? "The first and most obvious explanation is that the operators of these hidden services failed to use adequate operational security," writes Andrew Lewman, the Tor project's executive director. For example, there are reports of one of the websites being infiltrated by undercover agents and one affidavit states various operational security errors." Another explanation is exploitation of common web bugs like SQL injections or RFIs (remote file inclusions). Many of those websites were likely quickly-coded e-shops with a big attack surface. Exploitable bugs in web applications are a common problem says Lewman adding that there are also ways to link transactions and deanonymize Bitcoin clients even if they use Tor. "Maybe the seized hidden services were running Bitcoin clients themselves and were victims of similar attacks."
However the number of takedowns and the fact that Tor relays were seized could also mean that the Tor network was attacked to reveal the location of those hidden services. "Over the past few years, researchers have discovered various attacks on the Tor network. We've implemented some defenses against these attacks (PDF), but these defenses do not solve all known issues and there may even be attacks unknown to us." Another possible Tor attack vector could be the Guard Discovery attack. The guard node is the only node in the whole network that knows the actual IP address of the hidden service so if the attacker manages to compromise the guard node or somehow obtain access to it, she can launch a traffic confirmation attack to learn the identity of the hidden service. "We've been discussing various solutions to the guard discovery attack for the past many months but it's not an easy problem to fix properly. Help and feedback on the proposed designs is appreciated."
According to Lewman, the task of hiding the location of low-latency web services is a very hard problem and we still don't know how to do it correctly. It seems that there are various issues that none of the current anonymous publishing designs have really solved. "In a way, it's even surprising that hidden services have survived so far. The attention they have received is minimal compared to their social value and compared to the size and determination of their adversaries."

MrBingoBoingo writes In a new development in the case against Butterfly Labs, the court overseeing the case has ordered bitcoins held by Butterfly Labs to be turned over to the court-appointed temporary receiver. The order also gives the receiver authorization to convert the bitcoins "to cash on a systematic and reasoned basis." The justification for this measure is at least to ostensibly create reserves with which refunds for Butterfly Labs' customers may be paid.

An anonymous reader writes A small group of researchers were able to publish an investigative report on the hacking of a popular Bitcoin exchange earlier this year by the name of CryptoRush.in.

A captivating read for a community desensitized by thefts, hackings and lack of reporting. With pictures, and logs to prove it all.

FhnuZoag writes: Last year, Andrew Wilkinson, founder of MetaLab, bought a Robocoin Bitcoin ATM, figuring it would be a fun little side project and a good way to help move Bitcoin forward. It did not quite turn out that way. He has now written a timeline of the 10-month, $25,000(CAD) struggle. In short: there was a massive shipping delay, a $2,000 charge to clear customs, no knowledge base, unhelpful support, and the ATM itself flat out didn't work.

An anonymous reader sends this excerpt from Entrepreneur.com: After long remaining mostly mum on Bitcoin, Microsoft's legendary co-founder Bill Gates has spoken. At the Sibos 2014 financial-services industry conference in Boston, America's richest man just threw his weight behind the controversial cryptocash. Well, at least as a low-cost payments solution. ... "Bitcoin is exciting because it shows how cheap it can be," he told Erik Schatzker during a Bloomberg TV's Smart Street show interview yesterday (video). "Bitcoin is better than currency in that you don't have to be physically in the same place and, of course, for large transactions, currency can get pretty inconvenient." ... While he seems relatively bullish on how inexpensive transacting in Bitcoin can be, Gates isn't singing the praises of its anonymity. The billionaire alluded in an oblique, somewhat rambling fashion to some of the more nefarious anonymous uses associated with Bitcoin.

"Stay tuned.")
PayPal says it chose to integrate the third-party functionality directly in the PayPal Payments Hub because the aforementioned trio already offers its customers protections when dealing with the virtual currency. The company envisions anything that can be obtained digitally, such as video games and music, being sold in Bitcoin.

ASDFnz writes: Satoshi Nakamoto, the respected (and currently missing) inventor of Bitcoin, seems to have had his email address compromised by an unknown agent. Satoshi exclusively used one email address when he was active in the Bitcoin community: firstname.lastname@example.com. If you have a look at the original Bitcoin whitepaper (PDF), you will find it there at the top just under the title. He also usually signed his correspondence with his PGP signature. Earlier today, the head administrator of Bitcointalk, Theymos, received an email from Satoshi's email address that appeared to originate from GMX's servers. Theymos made a post on the Bitcointalk forums saying he had received an email from the address without Satoshi's PGP signature. Later, the unknown agent posted to other Satoshi accounts.

First time accepted submitter Nikkos (544004) writes Digital currency news website HashReport broke the news Monday that European megabank Santander has commissioned a study to "Analyze the impact of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on banks and devise a strategic course of action." The study is being facilitated as a challenge through Yegii, an 'Insight Network' founded by Trond Undheim. Undheim is also a Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management, as well as Managing Director at Tautec Consulting. The challenge was initiated by Julio Faura — Head of Corporate development for Banco Santander. According to Dr. Undheim, Faura was "looking for additional outside perspective onto the topic of Bitcoin. While acquiring consulting services from top tier consulting firms can be exciting, he thought that an outsider, multidisciplinary perspective, would be particularly helpful."

An anonymous reader writes The editor of a Bitcoin advocacy site believes the proliferation of altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) is harming Bitcoin's long-term potential as an alternative to traditional currencies. Posting at BadBitcoin.org, a site that seeks to expose online scams that target Bitcoin users, the pseudonymous ViK compares altcoins, including the Internet meme inspired Dogecoin, to a pump-and-dump scheme where developers create their own version of the Bitcoin wallet and blockchain and then "pre-mine" or generate a significant number of cryptocurrency units before the altcoin's official release. Later, when their value has risen, the pre-mined altcoins are exchanged for Bitcoin or in some cases converted directly to cash. While critics of cryptocurrencies in general might find ViK's comments about the altcoin "tulip" mania ironic, the self-confessed Bitcoin fan is nevertheless calling for an altcoin boycott: "The easiest way to stop them is to not participate. We all know that they only have one purpose, and that is to make Bitcoin for the so called developers."

An anonymous reader writes with news that bogus BGP announcements can be used to hijack work done by cryptocurrency mining pools. Quoting El Reg: Researchers at Dell's SecureWorks Counter Threat Unit (CTU) have identified an exploit that can be used to steal cryptocurrency from mining pools — and they claim that at least one unknown miscreant has already used the technique to pilfer tens of thousands of dollars in digital cash. The heist was achieved by using bogus Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) broadcasts to hijack networks belonging to multiple large hosting companies, including Amazon, Digital Ocean, and OVH, among others. After sending the fake BGP updates miners unknowingly contributed work to the attackers' pools.

First time accepted submitter jaeztheangel writes Ecuador's government has approved plans to start a new Digital Currency backed by the state. With defaults in recent history, and dwindling oil reserves it will be interesting to see how this decision turns out. From the article: "Congress last month approved legislation to start a digital currency for use alongside the U.S. dollar, the official tender in Ecuador. Once signed into law, the country will begin using the as-yet-unnamed currency as soon as October. A monetary authority will be established to regulate the money, which will be backed by 'liquid assets.'"
