Giant monsters and card games make up a Japanese culture lesson.
Review written by

April 7th, 2014
Attack of the Friday Monsters: A Tokyo Tale cannot really be considered a game. While the title is an interesting personal reflection on Japan's more rural past of the 1960s and 70s, this tale is not well suited to the 3DS.
AotFM: ATT takes place in one of the many rural towns near Tokyo before Japan's mass industrialization. Players are cast as Sohta, the new kid in a small town that supposedly shoots a local Kaiju (Giant Monsters) vs. Sentai (Heroes like Ultraman, the Power Rangers, etc.) show at the nearby police station and has real life Kaiju appear in town every Friday night. As the player progresses through the rather short story, much of the tale seems like whimsical imaginings of childhood interposed with symbolic personal issues. Unfortunately, many plot threads are left unresolved and too many plot elements near the end result in a confusing mess. That being said, the game does succeed at conveying the designers' love of monster movies and Sentai shows, along with a peaceful childhood. The message is not always clear, but the story is definitely heartfelt.
The 'gameplay' of Tokyo Tale largely consists of Sohta talking to people in the small town and having events unfold before the player's eyes. Some are about Sohta and his family, while other areas shed light on the people in town. In that sense, Tokyo Tale can be considered more a small visual novel like Phoenix Wright's story segments than an actual game. There is a map to keep players from getting lost, but it is very likely they will not need it due to the town's small size. The game also saves automatically, so players almost never have to worry about doing so manually. The only other 'game' portion of Tokyo Tale involves a simple card game, with cards that can be gained by wandering and collecting 'glim' items. The card game is only mandatory once, and does not give any real rewards. In short, it is mostly disappointing and pointless.
The graphics are not bad, but since there are very few moving characters and backgrounds are almost entirely static, they are not very impressive. The game's characters are detailed in a manga style, which fits. The 3D effect can help find glims, but is otherwise only window dressing. The environments themselves portray the sort of small towns of Japan that the designers remember well, so in that sense they did do something right.
Surprisingly, Tokyo Tale has exceptional sound for such a small title. Minimal sound for most of the game along with the sounds of cicadas conveys the sleepy small-town atmosphere the designers were going for. During the more dramatic story segments however, a stirring procession of melodies does a great job to uplift the scene. It is especially impressive that instruments were used for these scenes, and for this brief period the music is exceptional.
Tokyo Tale does not last very long, only clocking in at one to three hours at most to finish. There are a few bonus stories Sohta can find from the townsfolk, but it is likely that the player will have found most already by simply exploring. Other than playing the card battles again, the game is very light on content. The game might be worth two to four dollars during a sale, but the current asking price of eight dollars is way too much.
Attack of the Friday Monsters: A Tokyo Tale is a fascinating personal work by people who clearly have a love for elements of Japan's culture. As a game however, it falls very flat and there are better, less expensive titles in the eShop library.

One way to do this is to install new sway bars with a a bigger ratio of stiffness in the rear bar to that of the front. Another way is stiffer springs on the rear and/or softer in the front. And you can play with air pressures in your tires.
And, obviously the opposite would be true for oversteer.
Also note that if the rear sway bar is (or rear springs are) too stiff, you can induce more tire spin coming off corners because the rear is not compliant enough, at least with non-LSD RWD cars (like mine). I was a bit worried about that with the H&R sway bar.
So, I don't think there is really any absolute answer to your question. It depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you don't really want to change the handling performance of your car other than to eliminate body roll, then a balanced upgrade might be the best.
One of the reasons I went with a whole system was to ensure that I had a matched set up that had been tuned by the suspension engineers. One would hope they did this through a bit of a trial and error process playing with different front and rear sway bar spring rates to see what worked best on the vehicle. I don't know if Eibach did that, but the sport system plus kit seems to be really good in my car - except the car is still is a little bit tight on the track.

Muffins and milk allergies
BY Lisa Guy Nutrition expert
Lisa Guy and Liz Graham look at an easy way to treat milk allergies in children.
Eating baked goods that contain milk may help children get over milk allergies quicker.
US scientists studied two groups of milk-allergic children between two and 17 years - one group ate muffins with dairy in them, the other abstained from dairy altogether. Half of those who ate muffins were able to consume dairy products by the end of the study. The other group, which abstained from dairy, only had a 25 per cent success rate.
Why muffins? Heated milk has less of an impact on the immune system.

My thoughts concerning Rosa and her absence since Assassin's Creed II.
This weekend, some very sad news reached the fanbase of Rosa, the thief from Assassin's Creed II. It turns out that last year, on the 21st of June, Rosa's voice actress Lita Tresierra passed away after having been in coma from a serious accident. This is incredibly tragic news, as is the death of any person, and therefore, I feel I must address this before anything else. On behalf of all Rosa fans, I give my most sincere condolences and support to her family and friends for their loss. She left a great legacy behind for many Assassin's Creed fans worldwide and will be greatly missed.
With this said, however, the belated news of her death has left many Rosa fans with a lot of questions. Rumors have abounded that her untimely passing is the reason for Rosa's absence in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and some of them are apparently angry with the way Ubisoft handled her death and the way the character is missing from the series. I have my own thoughts on this as well and as such, I will voice them.
For the record, and as a necessary disclaimer, I will first point out that I don't know the reasons behind Rosa's absence in the games and whether it has any connection to Ms. Tresierra's death. All of the following things mentioned are assumptions and possibilities, as well as my opinion on those. For all we know, Rosa would not have been in those games regardless of her voice actress's untimely passing and this may also have been the reason why Ubisoft did nothing to enlighten the fans of what happened. Once again, I don't work at Ubisoft nor know what's going on there and I don't have the answers. If someone does or if a person who works at Ubisoft reads this and wants to set the record straight, please come forward and speak out. I won't hesitate to make mention of it in this written critique; in fact, I'd be delighted to, because I'm very interested in the truth and I'm sure a lot of otehr fans are as well.
So, who is Rosa? To describe her in a nutshell, she is a Venetian thief and one of Ezio's allies and love interests in Assassin's Creed II. They flirt during most of their screentime (the novel by Oliver Bowden describes them having a relationship) and after the missions in Venice are done, she is never seen or even mentioned again, neither in Assassin's Creed II or its successor Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (once again, safe for a mention in Bowden's novel of the game).
So why not? For the sake of argument, let's say that her absence is tied to the death of her voice actress. Ms. Tresierra died during the production of Brotherhood, therefore making it possible that the character she voiced ended up on the cutting room floor and was removed from the script.
In this scenario, however, an important question immediately stands out: Why didn't Ubisoft simply hire another voice actress? Granted, Ms. Tresierra had a fairly unique voice and it may be hard to find an exact replica of that, but I don't think that would be necessary. In the video game world, it's very common for voice actors to change or be replaced. In fact, this was even done within the Assassin's Creed series, as in the spinoff games of Altaïr and Ezio, both characters are voiced by different people than Philip Shabaz and Roger Craig Smith. Whether the results of this were satisfying is entirely debatable, but it begs the question why Ubisoft didn't pursue such a solution for a relatively minor character in the series.
Of course, it's also possible that there are reasons why this didn't happen. One of them is that they did try to find another actress, but either ran out of time or couldn't find anyone suitable. The other is, quite simply, that they decided not to get another actress for the part out of respect for Ms. Tresierra.
Both of these sound like plausible possibilities and especially with the latter scenario, I would totally respect and agree with Ubisoft if they took this approach to preserve and honor the memory of a great actress.
Still, that doesn't take away that if either of these was the case, the company did act rather callously and not to mention unprofessionally. For what it's worth, Rosa's character has a considerable fanbase and in the comments' section of the Brotherhood Q&A videos preceding the release of the game, the question whether she would show up again regularly came by. This should have already indicated that the character was popular and if Ms. Tresierra's passing indeed prevented the character from making it into Brotherhood, it would have paid for Ubisoft to give her fans a head's up.
At the very least, they could have been considerate enough to post a message about her death, if only to show respect for a person whom they worked with and towards the loved ones she left behind. They could then proceed to explain that Rosa's character is out of the series because of this. Unless Ms. Tresierra's loved ones specifically stated not to make her death public, this would have been a very classy way to handle things and as a Rosa fan, I certainly would've understood it and been at peace with her absence.
Yet as mentioned in the disclaimer, it's also very logical if the above assumptions aren't the case. It might as well have been that Ubisoft simply decided that they had no need of the character anymore and therefore didn't include her in any games after Assassin's Creed II. As a fan of the character, I would of course be quite disappointed with such a decision, but once again, it wouldn't be so bad if it was handled well.
Though Rosa was initially a secondary character, she and Ezio spent most of their screentime flirting with each other and the Ezio/Rosa pairing has built up a pretty solid fanbase because of it. The reason for this because there seemed to be an actual connection between the two characters and a lot of them felt that the interaction between them was kind of left unfinished in Assassin's Creed II.
So what happened between them at the time of Brotherhood? In the novel, she becomes the madam of the Rosa In Fiore brothel after Ezio's sister Claudia steps down, which suggests they're probably still at least on friendly terms, but not much else. However, even that is more of an explanation than we ever got in the game. We don't even hear about her and while I can understand that putting her in the Da Vinci Disappearance DLC as the madam would've been too confusing for people who didn't read the novel, it wouldn't take all that much to properly explain why she isn't present at all. Just a simple sentence along the lines of "Yeah, about Rosa: it didn't work out/she wanted to stay in Venice/it was just a fling" would have sufficed and would allow the game to keep going without halting the story.
Instead of a minimal explanation, however, Rosa's fans got nothing at all. The game just went on like the character never even existed, which was pretty jarring for the relatively large group of Ezio/Rosa shippers and Rosa fans. In fact, a handful of us even had the feeling that we were belittled for even still thinking about her while there were women of status for Ezio to sleep with, as if all that mattered was that outlawed noble Ezio could still get women of the highest degree to show off just how awesome and special he truly was. If Ubisoft wants to show off with their protagonist like that, for I sometimes get that impression, then fine, but it would've been thoughtful to at least provide a large group of Assassin's Creed fans with an explanation as to why one of their favorite characters was written out of the picture.
Sadly, I think we will never know the answer. Rosa is gone now and as badly as I want it, I don't think Ubisoft is going to bring her back, even if they could find a new voice actress.
Instead, the love interest for the next installment will be Venetian-immigrant bookseller Sofia Sorto and the comments of Ubisoft's spokespeople have pretty much established that this woman will be the mother of Ezio's children. Something that, in my humble opinion, wasn't really a good idea to let slip at this point in time, seeing how it eliminates a potentially interesting build-up and reduces the interaction to a "how long till these two get together?" scenario. For now, what I heard about this character hasn't yet managed to make her either appealing or unappealing to me. If anything, she just sounds like a second Cristina that's "smart" and "unlike other young women" who catches Ezio's eye because she's "different", spontaneously making him stop womanizing and, in Ubisoft's words, makes him "wonder how his life was like if he wasn't an Assassin". On paper, this is the kind of romantic story that I pretty much despise, but I'll just wait and see how it turns out. Maybe it will be horrible or maybe it will be fantastic: all we can do is wait until November to find out. At least she has in her favor that she is apparently smart enough to run her own business and has something better to do than mooching off her daddy's money, shopping and modeling for painters.
All we can hope for is that this female character will not go down the drain like Caterina Sforza and Cristina Vespucci and will get a better treatment than the beloved Venetian thief got.

Miley Cyrus Tries to Shoot Down Rumor of Liam Hemsworth Hook-Upby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Within hours of the Internet buzzing over a rumored Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth make-out session, the spoiled young singer took to Twitter to shoot down this story.
She wrote:
There are just a few problems with this reply:
1. Blogs did not create this story; it was reported by People magazine and The New York Daily News;
2. This is not random speculation; Alex Emanuel, a respected Broadway actor, says he witnessed the Miley make-out session;
3. No one said Cyrus had a boyfriend. The rumor is that she was simply getting to first base with someone. Based on the way she dresses and acts, Miley doesn't seem like a one-guy kind of girl anyway.
4. Notice how Cyrus always makes herself the center of the universe? We hate to break it to Miley, but reporting on her life is far from our "reason to breathe." It's just a job, sort of like how hers involves being a puppet for Disney.
shes not that slutty when you think about the world...
shush all of you, stop talking about her like you know her
for god sake didnt you do anything wrong when you were younger
you all needd to get a life and stop talking about all this
i know im doing it, but its cause im doing a story on her for our school paper
ive found out some really good stuff that shes done for people, so why dont you stop focusing on the bad things and calling her a slag or whatever and realise that every celebrity in the world does things like this, but none of them get it half as bad as what she does.
try being in the public eye as much as she is and then you have the right to say that about her.
OMG Miley, You make out with people, pole dance, take naked photo shoots, date 20 year olds, make out with 3 guys at the same time and take pictures of yourself in the shower. But your right! Your just a kid! People should give you a break :O! Disney slut -________-
oh my god
she's so friggen self-centered and attention-seeking gawd and she's such a hypocrite!
when ppl annoy her about how slutty she is pole dancing she's like i'm a kid! gimme a break!
and then she turns around and is all like i'm an ADULT now geez
she needs to get a life
majorly wt sorta crap role model is that?
Stop calling her a slut if you dont know her personally dont fuckin judge her, and who cares if she has a boyfriend or not shes 16 she can do what she likes
fuckin' whining bitch
I'm really digusted with this tramp, I can't believe her parents allow this tramp to carry herself in such a negative way, how do you allow your 15 year old daughter to have a 20 year old boyfriend, and sleep over? what do they think there are really doin when no one is around? baking cookies? I give this tramp 2 years before she ends up knocked up!!! how sad, that her parents allow this crap to go on!!!!
o and by the way, im pretty sure being in a nearly-naked photo shoot, pole dancing, and making fun of other celebrities arent just "mistakes." she has half the world looking up 2 her for some ungodly reason, so she should be acting like a young adult. my god. shes not just 16 years old, shes a (quote all of you miley lovers), "multi-millionaire with a successful career." a 16-year-old celebrity better act a little more mature than a regular 16-year-old if shes got half the world checking in on her every 2 seconds. so why dont you and ur beloved miley grow up a little.
omg, i was totally right the whole time. ive hated miley since the very beginning. i knew she would turn out like those other messes of celebrities now, such as paris, britney, lindsay, and jamie lynn. my friends thought i was jealous, but really, what is there 2 be jealous of? nothing, that's right! nobody likes her. she thinks the world revolves around her, and she's gonna get her butt kicked so hard that ill be laughing for the next century. :) o, and by the way, i LOVE Pathetic SLUT Miley's comment. :)
You can so tell that that picure is from the movie !

GrellXReaderXCielStory by lilacgiraffeRequested by Artisan-GardenNote for the requester: So, I took some artistic liberty with this. I can do it again is you want. Just let me know! You adjusted the pleats in your red dress before stepping up to the large building. "This is it." you breath, nervously fixing your father's top hat that rested on your head. He had given it to you after he discovered that he was dying. Though it bothered you to no end, you had let your mother make it look me 'lady-like' with flowers and lace. At least it matched your dress. You stroked the heavy skirts around your hips, calmed by the deep red color and strode into the building. Upon walking through the doors you were greeted by a man in a black suite. His yellow eyes that matched yours were flecked with disgust as he took in your hat and you glared back at the man. Though he was your new boss, you would not have your father's style spat on. He sighs and pulls a clipboard out of n
HetaliaxReader - Meeting Them (Ch. 28)Chapter Twenty-Eight: TreasuredLudwig opened his eyes to the morning sun shining through his bedroom window. He moaned quietly as he turned on his side, jumping back at the sight of a certain Italian in his bed with him. He shot up to a sitting position."What the hell are you doing in here?!" he shouted.Feliciano opened his eyes sleepily and looked at the German. "Oh, ciao, Ludwig! Buongiorno!""Ja, ja," he sighed. "Now what are you doing in here?"Feliciano blinked, then began twiddling his index fingers. "Well, I. . .""Ja? Spit it out."The small Italian sat up, pulling the sheets closer to his body as he kept his head downcast. "Last night I realized that. . .sorella. . .she's leaving tomorrow. . .And when I remembered, I just started crying. . ."Ludwig's agitated expression softened. He understood that Feliciano did not like to be alone when he was sad (or in general), and since ___
EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 4The seven of you got on the first bus that would take you away from Hetalia Academy, not bothering to go to your respective dorms to change out of your uniforms. You all waited until it got to the end of the city because you decided that you would start at that end and then work your way back. By the time you got there, though, your group was the last people on the bus, so you all inevitably stared acting all crazy. At least, most everyone other then you occasionally, and Arthur. He didn't seem like the type who had much fun when he was around others.Once you got off the bus, Eliza insisted that they would go into all the clothing stores, but that was shot down immediately by everyone else, until Eliza gave them the death glare that said "If you don't listen to me, I'll beat you with my frying pan." So, at the sight of a clothing store, you all went in. In the first store, Eliza said that you would all meet back at the front in like a half hour. After that was said, she grabbed Gilber
Prussia X Vampire!Reader-Infected part 1Prussia X Vampire!Reader-Infected It was a beautiful summer night and you were wandering on the streets in search for food.Vampire food.Somehow,everyone managed to disapper from the streets.You sighed.Another foodless night.But then you saw him.A guy with platinum hair was standing in an open window.It was your chance.Your dinner. After he left your sight,you jumped through the open window.You were now standing in a living room.In the first five seconds you didn't make a sound.You just listened.Then you started to move fast and silent,like a shadow.After inspecting the whole house,you noticed that there's another person there besides the platinum haired guy you saw from the street."Probably a kid.",you whisperd for yourself. You guessed the guy that the guy you wanted was in the bedroom on your right,so you entered. The albino boy (you also noticed his pale skin,so you thought he had albinism),was sleepi
CanadaXReaderLove Is For the BlindStory by: lilacgiraffeI know I said I wouldn't do this but when I got to my computer and saw my internet was down I decided to write this for you guys. It's cute! You purse your lips, staring at the doors of your high school. You had a strong urge to skip school until you felt an icy wind bite at your exposed nose. Taking a quick glance around the frozen school yard before stepping up to the main entrance, you push the glass doors open, leaving a fresh imprint of your hand in the foggy door. You sigh, already sick from the smell of sweets and roses in the overfilled hall way.You lowered your head, trying to block out the hopeful boys and overly excited girls. Listening to the crinkling of the wrapping paper on flowers, you make your way to your locker. By the time you were able to push past the rejoicing couples, your best friend, Matthew, was already waiting for you at your locker."Good morning, (Y/n)!" he said, politely pushing
American!Tourist!ReaderxJapan part14-Tokyo TouristJapan's POVTap, tap.Kiku's knuckles gently rapped on the hotel door. When _____ didn't respond he knocked harder. Still no answer. He frowned. She never took this long to answer. He waited for a few minutes then tried again. There was still no answer so he thought that maybe she went out somewhere. Perhaps the employee at the desk would know.After he got back down to the main floor he quickly walked towards the Mai desk. There was a short line so he stood in the back of it, feeling anxious and impatient but keeping a mostly stoic look on his face.When his turn finally came he stepped up to the desk "Excuse me, but do you know if _____ _______ has gone out?"The man pursed his lips and thought for a moment. "Oh yes! I remember her. She checked out."Kiku was completely shocked. "What?"The clerk nodded "Yeah, last night."Kiku frowned and slowly left the desk. Had she gone home? Of course she did; where else could she have gone? But why? Why hadn't she told him? He didn't even have

The P-1044 is a 4-source, 4-zone matrix switcher for Channel Vision's Cat5 audio system. It allows up to four different sources to be played in four different zones simultaneously, making it perfect for families with a variety of listening interests. Controlling your music is easy with the P-1044's source-specific IR repeating which allows independent control of identical source components. For example, two identical CD players can be controlled independently.
Any zone can independently select and listen to any source at any time. Source selection can be done either from an AB-124 amplified keypad or by using the A0501 remote control.
The P-1044 adheres to the same protocols as Channel Vision's other Cat5 audio hubs to ensure maximum compatibility. However, some amplified keypads, such as the AB-114, will not provide control of source selection. If the keypad provides IR pass through, as does the AB-114, you can use an A0501 remote control to make source selections. For best results we recommend using the AB-124 amplified keypad.
ARIA Audio provides a full-line of multi-room audio products including USA engineered speakers, as well as whole-house audio distribution and control products, including licensed A-BUS technology. Each is configured with a good, better, best option to fit any specifications.

- USB Security Flawed From Foundation (Wired) — The element of Nohl and Lell's research that elevates it above the average theoretical threat is the notion that the infection can travel both from computer to USB and vice versa. Any time a USB stick is plugged into a computer, its firmware could be reprogrammed by malware on that PC, with no easy way for the USB device's owner to detect it. And likewise, any USB device could silently infect a user's computer. "It goes both ways," Nohl says. "Nobody can trust anybody." […] "In this new way of thinking, you can't trust a USB just because its storage doesn't contain a virus. Trust must come from the fact that no one malicious has ever touched it," says Nohl. "You have to consider a USB infected and throw it away as soon as it touches a non-trusted computer. And that's incompatible with how we use USB devices right now."

Offline First, Winograd Schemata, Jailbreaking Nest for Privacy, and Decentralised Web Cache
- Offline First is the New Mobile First — Luke Wroblewski's notes from John Allsopp's talk about "Breaking Development" in Nashville. Offline technologies don't just give us sites that work offline, they improve performance, and security by minimizing the need for cookies, http, and file uploads. It also opens up new possibilities for better user experiences.
- Winograd Schemas as Alternative to Turing Test (IEEE) — specially constructed sentences that are surface ambiguous and require deeper knowledge of the world to disambiguate, e.g. "Jim comforted Kevin because he was so upset. Who was upset?". Our WS [Winograd schemas] challenge does not allow a subject to hide behind a smokescreen of verbal tricks, playfulness, or canned responses. Assuming a subject is willing to take a WS test at all, much will be learned quite unambiguously about the subject in a few minutes. (that last from the paper on the subject)
- Reclaiming Your Nest (Forbes) — Like so many connected devices, Nest devices regularly report back to the Nest mothership with usage data. Over a month-long period, the researchers' device sent 32 MB worth of information to Nest, including temperature data, at-rest settings, and self-entered information about the home, such as how big it is and the year it was built. "The Nest doesn't give us an option to turn that off or on. They say they're not going to use that data or share it with Google, but why don't they give the option to turn it off?" says Jin. Jailbreak your Nest (technique to be discussed at Black Hat), and install less chatty software. Loose Lips Sink Thermostats.

Public Private Pain, Signature Parsing, OSCON Highlights, and Robocar Culture

- Signals from OSCON — some highlights. Watching Andrew Sorensen livecode synth playing (YouTube clip) is pretty wild.

Developer Inequality, Weak Signals, Geek Feminism Wiki, and Reidentification Risks
- Developer Inequality (Jonathan Edwards) — The bigger injustice is that programming has become an elite: a vocation requiring rare talents, grueling training, and total dedication. The way things are today if you want to be a programmer you had best be someone like me on the autism spectrum who has spent their entire life mastering vast realms of arcane knowledge — and enjoys it. Normal humans are effectively excluded from developing software. (via Slashdot)
- Signals From Foo Camp (O'Reilly Radar) — useful for me (aka "the stuff I didn't get to see"), hopefully useful to you too. Companies outside of Silicon Valley badly want to understand it and want to find ways to truly collaborate with it, but they're worried that conversations can turn into competition. "Old industry" has incredible expertise and operates in very complex environments, and it has much to teach tech, if tech will listen. Silicon Valley isn't an IT department for the world, it's the competition.
- Feminist Point of View: Lessons from Running the Geek Feminism Wiki — deck from Alex's OS Bridge session. Today's awareness and actions around sexism in tech resulted from their actions, sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly.
- Big Data Should Not Be a Faith-Based Initiative (Cory Doctorow) — Re-identification is part of the Big Data revolution: among the new meanings we are learning to extract from huge corpuses of data is the identity of the people in that dataset. And since we're commodifying and sharing these huge datasets, they will still be around in ten, twenty and fifty years, when those same Big Data advancements open up new ways of re-identifying — and harming — their subjects.
Where did the issue of health data exchange disappear to?
More visible at Health Privacy Summit than Health Datapalooza.
On the first morning of the biggest conference on data in health care–the Health Datapalooza in Washington, DC–newspapers reported a bill allowing the Department of Veterans Affairs to outsource more of its care, sending veterans to private health care providers to relieve its burdensome shortage of doctors.
There has been extensive talk about the scandals at the VA and remedies for them, including the political and financial ramifications of partial privatization. Republicans have suggested it for some time, but for the solution to be picked up by socialist Independent Senator Bernie Sanders clinches the matter. What no one has pointed out yet, however–and what makes this development relevant to the Datapalooza–is that such a reform will make the free flow of patient information between providers more crucial than ever.

Our New Robot Overlords, Open Neuro, Anti-Surveillance Software, and LG's TV Made of Evil and Tears
- Norbert Weiner (The Atlantic) — His fears for the future stemmed from two fundamental convictions: We humans can't resist selfishly misusing the powers our machines give us, to the detriment of our fellow humans and the planet; and there's a good chance we couldn't control our machines even if we wanted to, because they already move too fast and because increasingly we're building them to make decisions on their own. To believe otherwise, Wiener repeatedly warned, represents a dangerous, potentially fatal, lack of humility.
- Open Ephys — open source/open hardware tools for neuro research. (via IEEE)
- Startups Selling Resistance to Surveillance (Inc) — growing breed of tools working on securing their customers' communications from interception by competitors and states.
- Not-So-Smart TV (TechDirt) — LG's privacy policy basically says "let us share your viewing habits, browsing, etc. with third parties, or we will turn off the `smart' features in your smart TV." The promise of smart devices should be that they get better for customers over time, not better for the vendor at the expense of the customer. See Weiner above.

Targeted Breakage, Driverless Cars, BitCoin Bigness, and IoT Approaching
- Maciej Ceglowski on Our Internet — If you haven't already read this because someone pushed it into your hands, read it now. If these vast databases are valuable enough, it doesn't matter who they belong to. The government will always find a way to query them. Who pays for the servers is just an implementation detail.
- Design Changes Possible With Robot Cars (Brad Templeton) — While a nice windshield may be good for visibility for forward-facing passengers, there is no need to have a large unobstructed view for safety. The windshield can be reinforced with bars, for example, allowing it to be much stronger in the case of impacts, notably impacts with animals. Other than for passenger comfort, the windshield barely has to be there at all. On behalf of everyone who has ever driven in Australia at dusk … I for one welcome our new robot chauffeurs. (via The Atlantic)
- Bitcoin Set to Overtake Paypal Transaction Volumes — "In the next one or two years, Bitcoin can surpass the dollar transaction volumes of other established payment companies including Discover, and even American Express, MasterCard, and Visa," said SmartMetric CEO Chaya Hendrick.

Surveillance Devices, Economic Apologies, Logo Trends, and Block Chain API
- Your Coffee Machine is Watching You (Mary Beard) — the future of surveillance isn't more CCTV cameras, it's every device ratting you out, all the time.
- Economics of Apologies — apologies work to restore relationships but are costly for the apologiser.
- Logo Trends — Dimension and detail are necessarily removed so that these logos read properly on mobile screens. Designs have become more and more flat. Surfaces are plain and defined by mono-weight lines. Great examples.
- Chain — the Block Chain API for developers.

Various Cheats and Hints
Cheat Method
To purchase cars at a cheap price ($10 each), open up the cars.ini file in your CARS folder (from the main NFSHP2 game folder) using Notepad. Change the following lines:
NOTE: Always make a backup before overwriting game files.
Ferrari F50:
Lead a single race, full grid, advanced, for eight laps to unlock the NFS edition of the Ferrari F50.
Lamborgini Diablo 6.0 VT:
Get 2.5 million points to unlock the NFS edition of the Lamborghini Diablo.

Mercedes CLK GTR:
Get 4.5 million points to unlock the NFS edition of the Mercedes CLK GTR.
Porsche Carrera GT:

Dodge Viper GTS:
Get 2 million points to unlock the NFS edition of the Dodge Viper GTS.
Lamborghini Murcielago:
Get 3 million points to unlock the NFS edition of the Lamborghini Murcielago.
Faster cars:
Make a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "cars.ini" file in the "cars" sub-folder in the game directory. Change the "mass=" value to "100" for a faster car.
Open the folder of a powerful car, such as the F1, F50, etc. Copy the "car.ini" file from here and paste it over the original "car.ini" file of a slower car in its own folder (for example, the Elise). This instantly gives that car the speed and handling characteristics of the better vehicle. Note: Back up the original "car.ini" file of the slower car in the event that you want to revert it back to its standard settings.

iso great food in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Am writing for a friend who's in Bangladesh doing a documentary. Anyone have any recs for good/interesting/flavorful options? He's an amazing amateur chef, and I feel badly that he's eating mediocre food in the school cafeteria near where he's filming...
Thanks in advance,
The two best independent restaurants I've eaten in Dhaka (and a fave amongst the locals there) are:
1. Kasturi, 8 Purana Paltan, Bijoynagar, Dhaka. Tel: 9569942, 9564396
2. Dhansiri. Plot 32/A, Road 45, Gulshan 2, Dhaka. Tel: 9882125, 8825050
It's been a couple of years since I've been there - so your friend should call ahead & check. Both restaurants offered very good Bengali curries & seafood. Mildly-spiced & fried fish like rui (carp), rup chanda (pomfret) & ilish (hilsa/herring) are also very good!
Most of the good restaurants in Dhaka are concentrated in the diplomatic/expat enclave at Gulshan/Banani.
Bukhara Restaurant
18th Floor,
Iqbal Center,
Kemal Ataturk Avenue, Banani.
This is my favorite restaurant in Dhaka; it's got great Indian food and a beautiful location. The two the other poster listed are good as well. It is not hard to get decent Bengali food here, the
issue is really that aside from that, the rest of the food is mediocre at best. His other option is befriending locals (or expats with good cooks) and getting invited home for dinner. The best meals I have had here have all been eaten in private homes.
Most expats spend a lot of time eating at the private clubs, partially because they are the only places that can serve liquor, and the food is decent, although not great.
Missed this thread entirely until I saw today's activity, hopefully recommendations are still of some use to your friend... Kasturi and Bukhara are both solid recommendations, (haven't tried Dhansiri), and, sadly Lulubelle is spot on about food quality for most of the other restaurants here.
I just wanted to add a mention for Samdado, (House 27, Road 35, Gulshan 2), which does a generally decent job of its Japanese/Korean menu. It wouldn't make my list back home where I'm spoiled for really good Japanese, (I miss you Vancouver), but is a pleasant break from the other options in this city and has the added benefit of being one of the few places outside of the expat clubs and luxury hotels where you can enjoy a drink with dinner.
And thinking of luxury hotels, the Westin opened on Gulshan Ave. last summer and has a small cafe in the lobby that sells good bread (at high prices), also a nice treat if your friend is getting tired of the sugar-laden white loaves that abound here.
re: J_Queck
The Westin and the Radisson both do poolside BBQs that are pretty good. The bakery at the Radisson is pretty good as well,
Samdado was exactly the restaurant I was thinking about when i said the food was mediocre at best. While a few items are pretty good, the noodles for example, most of the food is below the level of grocery store sushi in the States. The OP asked for "great" food, which is just about impossible in Dhaka. You can tell when people have been here too long, because they begin to refer to really bad restaurants (Spaghetti Jazz) as being "great". Samdado is far above Spaghetti jazz, but it would certainly never stay in business in a city where it weren't the only option.
re: J_Queck
Have you tried Jharna Grill at Pan Pacific Sonargaon? I had a grilled fish there which was very good - Ichimoti Pangash. Yep, it made such an impression on me, I still remembered the name of the dish!
Thought of one more place...
There is an Australian expat named Barry Ison who runs a guest house in Dhaka. It's located at Road 79, House 19 in Gulshan, and the food is amazing. He also has a small showroom of textiles, jewelry, baskets etc that he imports from Nepal, Thailand, etc. It's open for lunch every day, and you can make special arrangements for dinner. Barry is a total original and knows everything about Bangladesh and Dhaka. I HIGHLY recommend an afternoon or evening at his place.
re: lulubelle
Thanks for this tip on the guest house, I wasn't familiar with it but I'll definitely check it out over the next few days.
Regarding your other post above, I'm definitely becoming guilty of equating 'less bad than the other options' with 'great', or even 'good'...As noted, it wouldn't make my list back home, and you're right, would have a hard time staying in business.
Anyways, thanks again for the tip.
re: lulubelle
greetings ,
enjoying your ideas on good food joints. other great places are 1.Sajna ( north indian meals) at Raod 11, Banani, 2. Casablanca on Gulshan Avenue ( between i & II), 3. Casa Greek & 4. Bamboo Shoot on Gulshan Avenue above Agora and many more. But for more details call me on +8801912000210 JK
re: lulubelle
hey!! have just moved to dhaka and am looking for some places to visit, can you give me some information about this guesthouse, does it still exist, i see thepost is quite old.. thanks
re: junie Wadhawan
http://www.bisonhospitality.com/index... is the website. He's still up and running.
re: lulubelle
Hi there, noticed your post on Barry Ison. I lived in Banani like 15 years ago with my family in my early teens. We knew a Barry Ison, Aussie, who lived in Gulshan and when I saw this I wondered if it was him. He was doing crafts even back then, so think it has to be him. I would love to come back to Bangladesh with my family and work. It is tough to get work? I think Barry originally went to Bangladesh as a Baptist Missionary or his parents were or something like that. Any info on anything going over there would be great.
re: Elissao
It is indeed the same Barry Ison. I think he just opened a second guest house and restaurant, but I am not exactly sure where it is located. He had long been a proponent of local crafts and culture, and has done a lot of work to promote them and the local people.
As for getting work here, it really depends on what you do and who you work for. Everyone I know who is an expat works for some sort of Western organization.
re: katie570
Be sure to join whichever club you are connected to. The clubs have reciprocal arrangements, so that an American Club member can eat at the BHC or Aussie vlub as well as the ARA. (American Recreational Association)
Also, if you are connected to the embassy and can join the Comm, you should do so. It's the only place to get a lot of convenience products, and American foods. As good as my cook is, there are times when I really just want a can of chicken noodle soup and a bagel with cream cheese.
Just curious, why are you moving to Dhaka?
re: lulubelle
I'm going to be with the embassy. You? Thanks for the tips!
re: katie570
Ah, pretty much you're Embassy, NGO or a teacher if you're in Dhaka. I'm a teacher.
There are all kinds of interesting things to do here, and depending on what you're into, I'm sure I'll see you around.
Original Bangladeshi food is an interesting mix of local flavors (rice, daal, river fish and veggies, eaten daily by locals ) and the meat-heavy muslim influence (biriyani, haleem and kababs). Of course you have your usual array of chinese and thai which have been around for a long time.
For fiery street side style kababs, ask your friend to try 'Star Kabab.' They have various locations, including the original one in old Dhaka. The ones in Dhanmondi (on Rd. 2 and also on Sat Masjid Road, opposite Abahoni field) would be easy to access. Their chicken jhal fry, chicken tikka are awesome. When I took my american friends home, they would take a rickshaw and go to star kabab every day, without speaking a word in bangla. i get homesick (have been living abroad for many years now) whenever I think of star kabab...:(
For good indian, Sajna (already mentioned) and Santoor (on Mirpur Road, intersection of Dhanmondi old Rd. 32) are good. I understand there are many other options available, especially, lined up along kamal ataturk ave.
Streetside delicacies like chotpoti and phuchka also should not be missed. I would not recommend having them just from anywhere though, as it would lead to immediate diarrhoea. However, a place called 'Dhaba' (two locations, one on Banani Rd. 4 and another inside Rifles Square mall), has sanitized but still very tasty versions. Whenever I've made chotpoti at home here, my american friends have swooned, but my version is nowhere near the original!
For authentic biriyani, Fakhruddin baburchi (means chef in bangla) is the best. Think he has an outlet on Sat Masjid Road. Legendary is also Haji's biriyani, a lighter style biriyani, but available in this alley in old dhaka, and is hard to get to.
Sorry I can't provide exact street addresses, but most of these places are very well known to foodie locals, and usually have listings in local guide books.
Chow on!
Now that I have been here a while, it's time to weigh in... a lot has been said on Bangla food. For other kinds, Santoor is a stand-out for Indian. I especially like their prawn malai curry. Sajna isn't bad either. Bamboo Shoot is impressively authentic Chinese--the Chinese Embassy people all hang out there, where they have tabs and sign for their food. I like Le Saigon for Vietnamese (though others have had less positive experiences). Ideas Manzil, the guesthouse/restaurant, is really great--great food, with an atmosphere unique in Dhaka. The hotel restaurants are all competent, if a bit dull. Long-term ex-pats might enjoy the overpriced but tasty sandwiches at Treats at the Westin, but for foodie tourists, they likely don't hold much appeal. Also, I am no Korean food expert, but there are many Korean restaurants serving the Korean ex-pat population that are all pretty tasty--I like Koreana the best, followed by Sura.
Restaurants that would not survive outside of Dhaka: Spitfire, Samdado (though I am glad to have it!), Casa Greek (oh my heavens, it's bad).
re: katie570
Oh good, I'm glad you found the guest house! He's been having some interesting music nights etc., there recently. He will also cater events in the home if you want to have a party but not cook.
I like Ararong (spelling?) for Korean, although Sura is right down the street from my house, so I tend to go there more often.
I'm glad to see someone agrees with me about Samdado--have you found Spaghetti Jazz yet? it's also terrible.
re: lulubelle
Oh yes, Spaghetti Jazz is so unacceptably bad. I really can't figure out why people eat there.
New find: AMAZINGLY authentic Japanese place in Uttara that just opened called Nagasaki. The sushi, while much better than Samdado, is not stellar, but all the other food was incredible. The fried miso taste eggplant was a standout.
re: katie570
what about Bella Italia, Gulshan 1? It's a small place opposite the Pizza Hut, but clean and had quick enough service for me not to complain. They consistently made decent thin crust pizza and flavourful bolognese sauce. The pasta was real, not noodles. :) I liked the eggplant pizza too. There were salads on the menu as well, which i didn't get to try. I haven't been home in a year, so i hope my post is still relevant and that Bella is still churning out good food.
Also props to El Toro for their excellent grilled meat tacos. Lonely Planet gave them a shout out a while ago and I'll add that it's hard to find such decent Mexican food made with fresh ingredients for under $5 anywhere.
re: TanQ10
Bella Italia has great pizza; we ordered it this weekend, but I've never had any of their other food. I'll have to branch out.
I went to El Toro once, had a horrible experience involving nachos and have not been back, but I will go and try the grilled meet tacos.
Thanks for the tips!
re: lulubelle
By the way, you guys should try Pyongyang, the North Korean place next to Total Care in Banani. The waitresses are actually North Koreans!! They used to be in Kemal Ataturk ave then shut down for a while
re: katie570
I can't believe I am asking an expat for directions, but do you have the address and telephone number for Nagasaki? I've been hearing a lot about this place. Thanks.
re: MiranAli
Sorry I'm, like, a year late in responding. But Nagasaki is House 13, Road 6, Sector 1, Uttara. +88 02 8922284. And it is still awesome.
re: katie570
hi Katie. Are you still in Dhaka ?
re: shumon
I left Dhaka in July. But before I left some new restaurants were opening up at the high end. My favorite was Izumi, which had amazingly good sushi (more amazing if you remember you're in Dhaka). The fish is flown in fresh from Bangkok, they have a Japanese chef, and the non-sushi food was really good too. Highly recommended. In Gulshan-1, the 8 was also aiming high--struck me as having a bit less substance, but the food was decent and the place is very attractive.
Of course, I can get similar food back in the U.S. now--so what I miss is Fakhruddin's kachi biryani!
re: katie570
Sounds like you've got the place down pretty well, Katie. Didn't take you long. I'm American, working on a British project. I have been coming in and out regularly for two years and I've wound up taking most of my meals at the American Club, though I plan to try a reciprocal Tuesday at the German Club soon. I have avoided Spitfire ever since one of our team members became quite ill after eating there. But I have been impressed with Kings Kitchen on Gulshan 2 for Chinese. Check it out sometime. Also had some decent Chinese (off the menu, not the buffet) at Baton Rouge in the Pink City complex. The best bet by far, though, is a few days in Thailand!

Olivia Munn Takes a Stand Against 'Selfies': A Hollywood Reporter PSA (Video)
The "Newsroom" actress starts a dialogue about an addiction that touches most everybody with a Twitter or Instagram account -- the gratuitous self-portrait.
Newsroom actress and social media maven Olivia Munn is fond of Twitter. But one thing you won't catch her sharing with her nearly half-million followers is a selfie.
Selfies, which Urban Dictionary quite simply defines as "pictures taken of oneself while holding the camera at arm's length," have become something of an online epidemic. And celebrities are among the most-affected.
PHOTOS: Olivia Munn and More 'Newsroom' Stars at the THR Cover Shoot
Munn recently stopped by The Hollywood Reporter's Cover Lounge, and she had a lot to say on the matter -- including the poor assistants often wrangled into snapping the sexier seflies.
Watch her public service announcement above. You're welcome.

Vintage Josie and the Pussycats
By RazzaTazz 2 Comments
I found this earlier today after looking for a new avatar picture. I was unaware that in the 1970s that Hannah Barbera put together a real life group to accompany the animated Josie and the Pussycats cartoon series. The Archies were a fairly popular group with the same concept that produced the hit "Sugar Sugar" and so I guess the same concept was tried here. Even more interesting is that they actually cast the band to look like the characters in the comics and in the show. Also Cheryl Ladd (future Charlie's Angel) was in the band.

Good helmet & price
By DKHAN

Comments about GMAX GM48S Snowmobile Helmet 2006:
True to size,fits snug & very warm. Easy to use face shield. My first full face helmet,bought for days too cold f/shorty. Works well,light and not too noisy. 4/5 stars due to chin strap and fogs up my eyeglasses,needs more venting. Great view and no head wobble.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Buy!
By Sledder

First, everyone at Bike Bandit are great. Buy with confidence! I'm just a weekend rider of snowmobiles and was looking for a quality helmet without having to invest hundreds of dollars... GMAX, with their GM48S came through with flying colors. The fit is true. The workmanship is quality through & through. You'd never guess I didn't break the bank buying two! You can't go wrong.

text: 000 FXUS63 KILX 232114 AFDILX Area Forecast Discussion NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 314 PM CST Sun Nov 23 2014 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight) ISSUED AT 313 PM CST SUN NOV 23 2014 Deepening 993 mb low pressure between Oklahoma City and Tulsa at mid afternoon will strengthen further as it ejects northeast across central IL near or east of I-55 during this evening, and into northern lower MI overnight at it deepens to 979 mb. Widespread light to moderate rain showers have spread NNE across central/se IL early this afternoon. Still no reports of thunder over IL but will continue to carry isolated thunderstorms over eastern IL into this evening as deepening low pressure approaches. Showers will break up later this evening and overnight east of the IL river while deformation zone of precipitation lingers west of the IL river. Strong cold front sweeps across central and eastern IL during overnight, passing through the Wabash river valley early Monday morning. Light rain to mix with light snow nw of the IL river late tonight and change to snow early Monday morning as temps fall into the mid 30s. Temperatures currently in the low to mid 50s and dewpoints are in the upper 40s and lower 50s. Lows tonight to range from mid 30s from Peoria and Springfield west, to the mid to upper 40s near the IN/IL border with temps continue to drop Monday morning. Southeast winds 10-17 mph and gusts of 18-25 mph this afternoon to subside this evening to around 10 mph or less as low pressure moves in. But as low deepens and pulls away from central/se IL overnight, winds will turn westerly behind the cold front and increase to 15-25 mph and gust 25 to 30 mph later tonight. RUC model shows even higher wind gusts of 35-40 mph going into southeast IL behind cold front early Monday morning around sunrise. MET/MAV guidance shows strongest winds during the day Monday (strongest in eastern IL) after 15Z/9 am Monday. && .LONG TERM...(Monday through Sunday) ISSUED AT 313 PM CST SUN NOV 23 2014 The strong low pressure area will continue to lift northeast through the Great Lakes area with a very strong pressure gradient behind the system. In addition, gusty westerly winds and strong cold air advection (CAA) will move into the area Monday. Expecting rain in the eastern half of the CWA and a mix of rain and snow in the western half,in the morning. Then as the CAA occurs, the all snow line will move across the area from west to east, so that by early afternoon, most of the CWA will be all snow, with the mix of rain and snow only in the eastern parts of the CWA. By late afternoon, the whole area will be cold enough for snow. As the system lifts northeast through the day, the higher chances of pcpn will move from southwest to northeast. So, the areas mostly likely to see any accumulation of snow will be Northwest of I-55 during the morning and then north of a Galesburg to Bloomington line during the afternoon. Total snowfall accumulation expected tomorrow will be an inch or more northwest of a Macomb to Pontiac line; and then lesser amounts southeast of that line. Highest amounts are expected to be 1.5 to 2 inches north of a Galesburg to Lacon line. The tight gradient behind this system will also bring very gusty winds to the CWA tomorrow, beginning tomorrow morning and lasting through the day. Sustained winds or around 25 mph with gusts between 35 and 40 mph will be possible across the whole area tomorrow. Will not be issuing a wind advisory as it will be just below criteria. However, would not be surprised if overnight shift issues one in the morning. The gusty winds will also create blowing snow, mainly in the northern parts of the CWA, so visibilities could be reduced at times. Pcpn will end by tomorrow night as the low pressure area lifts northeast into Canada. After this system, dry weather is expected for Monday night through Tue night as brief high pressure area moves through the CWA. Then another clipper system is expected to move through the area and bring another chance of rain and/or snow for Wednesday. There will be some warm air ahead of this system so the pcpn type could be a mix before it changes to all snow. Any accumulations with this system will be confined to the north with a half inch or less possible...at this time. The remainder of the forecast should be dry with temps below normal, as Canadian high pressure moves in and dominates the weather through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Temps will steady or slowly falling tomorrow due to the strong CAA expected. Then temps will be cool/cold most of the rest of the forecast, except for Wed, just ahead of the next clipper system. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) ISSUED AT 1155 AM CST SUN NOV 23 2014 MVFR ceilings of 1-2k ft have developed over central IL airports late this morning and expect ceilings to lower to IFR during the afternoon and tonight. VFR visibilities at midday lower to 2-4 miles during mid and late afternoon and continue tonight as rain showers become more widespread and heavier. Currently no thunderstorms over IL and nearby states, but isolated thunderstorms still expected to develop this afternoon and evening, though coverage too limited to pin point donw in the TAFS. Rain showers to mix with or change to light snow from west to east during Monday morning with vsbys as low as 1-2 miles at PIA and BMI, while 2-4 miles vsbys further south along I-72. SSE winds 12-17 kts with gusts 18-24 kts this afternoon to diminish closer to 10 kts this evening and then veer sw by overnight and WSW later tonight into Monday morning and increase to 17-22 kts and gusts 25-30 kts by 15Z/9 am Monday. Deepening 994 mb low pressure just north of Oklahoma City in central OK at midday to turn northeast and track into central IL this evening as it deepens to 987 mb.
