Overall, the phenomena mostly seem bleak, as these behaviors allow us to witness, generally, people losing control of their minds.

Pace, Diaz share lead through 54 holes at Marathon
By RUSTY MILLER
SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) South Africa's Lee-Anne Pace, seeking a breakthrough win in the U.S., shot a 3-under 68 to grab a share of the lead with Laura Diaz in the Marathon Classic on Saturday.
Pace, an eight-time winner on the Ladies European Tour, bounced back from bogeys at holes 11 and 12 to join Diaz at 11-under 202. She can barely express what a breakthrough win on the LPGA Tour might bring.
"It'll mean quite a lot to be able to come out here and play well," she said. "It already has made my week. I was so tired in the beginning of the week and now this has happened, so I'm very excited."
Pace could have foundered after losing the two shots to par. But she came right back to birdie the next two holes and then added another at the par-5 17th to join Diaz at 11-under 202.
The 33-year-old, in her 10th year as a pro, wants to keep it simple in the final round at Highland Meadows.
"I play a very similar type of game every time I go out there: Hit the fairways and try to hit the green and make the putt. And so far it's been working," she said. "Hopefully, coming down the stretch it's going to be enough."
It was a day of highs and lows for Diaz, the leader since birdieing her first five holes in an opening 62. She led by four and then three strokes after the first two rounds.
Chasing her first win since 2002, she could have regained the outright lead but left a 7-foot birdie putt short on the 18th to finish with a 71.
Up by three shots on the fourth hole on Saturday, the 39-year-old faltered with a double-bogey.
After pull-hooking her drive under a pine tree, she and caddie Pete Smith moved away some twigs and the ball moved. The gallery around her let out a collective gasp. She quickly assessed herself a one-shot penalty and ended up punching back to the fairway, hitting to the green and two-putting for the double.
By the time Diaz got to the tee at No. 9, rookie Jaye Marie Green's torrid play had pulled her into a tie for the lead. Playing one group ahead, Pace would nail a 20-foot birdie putt from the fringe to join them.
But before Pace's putt, Diaz hit the shot of the day.
Officials had moved the tees up on the 255-yard, par-4 hole to allow players to go for the green off the tee. Pace and playing partner So Yeon Ryu, the 2012 winner of the Marathon, vacated the putting surface to allow Diaz and Lydia Ko to hit their drives. Diaz's ball landed 25 yards short of the green and had a bead on the pin before edging past. Diaz later rolled in the 10-foot downhill eagle putt to regain a two-shot lead.
Diaz bogeyed the 12th. The lead remained one shot until Pace hit into the deep rough near the bunker fronting the par-5 17th, dropped a delicate gap wedge to 8 feet and then rolled in the birdie putt to forge the tie.
Diaz consistently left birdie putts short all day.
Asked if a player can ever forget how to win after a long respite, she said, "I can't say that I knew how to do it then, and I don't know that I know how to do it now."
Green applied pressure with a low round early on the cloudy day.
The medalist in last year's LPGA Tour qualifying school, she turned in 30 and birdied four holes in a row before closing with a par on the par-5 closing hole. The 63 allowed her to climb from a tie for 31st at the start of the day to a share of the lead before Diaz's eagle.
Green is tied a shot back with Ryu, who birdied the 15th, 16th and 17th holes for a 68.
Another shot back, at 9-under 204, was Ko, who birdied the last two holes in a 70. The group at 205 included Cristie Kerr (68) and last week's Women's British Open champion, Mo Martin, who had a 67.
Eighteen players are within four shots of the lead.
Pace sounded thrilled by the all the potential mayhem.
"Yeah, the whole LPGA is chasing," she said.

Insurance by bike make
27 September 2009 16:00
Motorcycle insurance costs are an important consideration for any bike buyer. That's why MCN is highlighting some of the best cheap-to-insure motorcycles out there. First up is the Suzuki GSX650F.
Insurance group: 10Used price: £3,600 - £5,440New price: £5,440Engine: 656cc inline four, 6 gearsPower: 86bhpTop speed: 135mph Weight: 216kg
The Suzuki GSX650F may seem like just a Bandit with a fairing, but it's mix of fun, practicality, performance and value for money makes it a winner - especially since it's cheap to insure too.
At group 10, the capable GSX650F is 5 groups lower than it's full-on GSX-R600 brother. Of course in performance terms it can't compete with the gixer 6, but if you're on a budget its sporty-looking (especially in gixer blue & white), easy to ride and far more flexible than the gixer. It would make a fantastic sports-tourer.
The Suzuki GSX650F revs a little higher than the Bandit it's based on and boasts a healthy 85bhp. It has a nice usable spread of power but without sacrifising the top end rush you expect from an inline four 600.
The GSX650F also gets an uprated shock for more poise and lower bars for a sportier riding position - but it's still all-day comfortable. It's also got a lot of nice touches for a budget bike, including adjustable brake and clutch levers, mirrors that work and tasty GSX-R style clocks.
From a distance, the GSX650F could be mistaken for a much sportier and more expensive machine. Non-bikers will be none the wiser. That and it's low insurance group make the Suzuki GSX650F a biking bargain.

Giant Bomb News28 Comments
You Can Buy The Shatter Soundtrack
by Jeff Gerstmann on
Blistering electronic score for yesterday's PSN release available for streaming, purchase.
Giant Bomb's Friday Favorite Friend, get2sammyb, brings us this incredible piece of knowledge by way of our message boards. The soundtrack to Sidhe's block-blasting PlayStation Network release, Shatter, is available for streaming and for purchase right over here.
The purchase is one of those "pay what you think it's worth" sort of deals, with a minimum price of $9.99. I had a moment where I realized that the soundtrack actually costs more than the game that it appears in--Shatter is available now in the PlayStation Store for $7.99--and almost backed away. But the soundtrack's good enough that I went ahead and bought it anyway. You should at least give it a quick stream if you're into this sort of thing.
Oh, and I'll have a review of Shatter next week, but my first impression is that it's pretty rad. Hopefully it stays that way.

So my close friends will confirm this, I am not much of a planner. I usually make last minute decisions about commemorative dates, such as um, cough cough, my son's birthdays. So over the years planning last minute birthday parties has been my specialty. Lucas and Josh have birthdays less than two months apart and some years I have made birthday parties of them together as well as separate and I am planning one for Josh this Saturday, and it was all planned in less than a month.
So here are my tips for planning a last minute birthday party for your child.
1. Have a budget. Yes write that number down and accept your reality (this is hard for someone like me from Brazil because we love decorations and elaborate kids' parties). Discuss with the dad what the budget will be and you can split certain costs. I usually spend more on my half with trips to A.C Moore but Max does not have to know that.
2. Pick a theme- it is so important to have a theme for your child's birthday party. When they were too small to have their own opinion, I picked it for them but now they get to choose, with our approval of course. Themes are so big in Brazilian birthday parties that the kids think that even when it's the adults birthday, there will be a theme, at least that is what they ask me on my birthday. (they voted Princess Peach for mine). If you can't decide on a theme, or need ideas for your party: KARA's PARTY IDEAS.
3. Once you pick a theme, then the internet is your best friend. My absolute favorite kids party supplies website EVER is BIRTHDAY IN A BOX. Their items have great quality and come very fast. I also love their customized banners. For Josh's birthday this Saturday we picked Mario Kart Birthday, which birthday in a box did not have so we used another great website for birthday supplies, CELEBRATE EXPRESS. When ordering online check the shipping dates so your items arrive on time. Last but not least try Oriental Trading, it is so cheap!
4. DIY Invitation- so I love doing photo invites. It is very easy and it is very cost affective and I am not just saying that because I am a photographer. Now that you have the theme, maybe your child has a toy, stuffed animal, or even t shirt of that theme. Choose a white background leaving some space to the right or left of them and snap away. If you are into digital scrapbooking, you can find some digital pages matching your theme and print 4 x6 's at your local store. (I do like Target for last minute personal printing). You can also do the photo cards like the holiday ones but pick a different template and just add text, your child will be dressed or have something related to birthday theme.
5.Back to the internet is your friend, you can search on google for images related to them to get ideas.
6. Hand Deliver your diy invitations if you can and mail out asap. Or, make a short video and do digital invite via email. You can use online websites such as Evite even for your kids party.
7. Keep in mind location. If it's at your home, keep your invite list small. If you are doing it last minute, expenses will add up quickly, so plan accordingly. This year I have it to only 10 kids. Last year I did Lucas birthday at jumping jungle and it had about 22 kids but still was planned very last minute.
8. Kids only party- If you are doing it at home and you live in a small apartment, consider having kids only and tell parents they can drop the kids off. It might sound weird, but parents love it because they get a few hours to themselves. Of course don't be alone with 10 kids, get some adult help as well, aka siblings in my case.
9. Have some kind of entertainment or schedule. Play games, change things quickly. Kids need activities or they will say they are bored. A wonderful entertainment option I found but wont be using this year is mobile game stop where this pick up truck with a game room comes to your home and kids go inside to play many video games. I thought it was super cool.
10. Set up a photo booth- This can be really simple. Pick a corner, have props and tell the kids for them to take snap shots there,. You can also find wall decals at Party City where kids just put their face in and take a photo with theme.
11. Keep food simple. Since it will be at our house, we are doing pizza, having a cool cake and maybe some of Josh's favorite candies or the marshmallow pops he wants.
12. DIY- tags. A big hit at parties is getting custom tags. Nowadays you can purchase templates on Etsy, download and customize and print at places like Kinkos, just punch a hole and tie to your favor or table.
13. Since it's last minute call your guests to make sure they are coming, this way you will know how many favors to have if you are doing favors.
14. Have fun. It won't be perfect but as long as your little one is pleased, it is all good.
P.S another great alternative to birthday parties is getting handful of kids and going to places like build a bear, spa, robot galaxy then eat at food court and take cup cakes and you are done.
Happy Birthday Planning and of course we need some photos of my cutie Josh and if you want to see a photo of what his final invitation looks like then be sure to follow me on Instragrm. @feuza.

Casinos brace for impact of Internet gambling
Its parent company, The Rational Group, based on the Isle of Man in the U.K., would not say whether it plans to try to buy another casino or partner with one to gain entry into the U.S. online gambling market.
Introducing new players to poker over the Internet makes it less scary and potentially more popular, said David Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
"It was mostly old guys with cigars," he said. "It was very intimidating to walk into a poker room and see a guy who's a thousand years old, smoking 10 packs of cigarettes a day, giving you dirty looks because you're taking the wrong card," he said. "What online poker did was let people get familiar with the game, feel a little bit of confidence and then they said, `I want to go to Vegas and do the real thing.'"
Every week, it seems, a new study comes out touting the promise of Internet gambling for cash-strapped casinos and even more cash-strapped state governments.
Gambling Compliance, which tracks the online gambling industry, predicts Internet gambling in New Jersey will bring in nearly $262 million in its first year and nearly $463 million after four years. The group said that figure could go as high as $575 million after four years if online gambling takes off in New Jersey.
H2 Gambling Capital, a U.K. consultancy for the Internet gambling industry, predicts 17 states will have approved Internet gambling by 2017, led by New York, California, Florida, Illinois and New Jersey.
And Morgan Stanley predicts that by 2020, online gambling in the U.S. will produce the same amount of revenue as Las Vegas and Atlantic City markets combined bring in today: $9.3 billion.
Indian tribes are also moving to get into the online gold rush.
Two groups of tribes have already formed alliances to explore offering Internet gambling, and in April, the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribe reached a deal with Oklahoma allowing the tribe to offer Internet gambling to customers outside the U.S. through its pokertribes.com web site. The Shoshone tribe in Nevada has a deal with an online company to offer similar Internet gambling to foreign customers in a venture that could go live in May.
States across the country are also turning to the Internet to boost sales of their lottery tickets. Twelve states have either approved or are considering selling lottery tickets online, and Georgia and Illinois are already doing it.
What types of games can be played for money online varies by state.
New Jersey will offer people within the state all the games patrons can play in physical casinos. Delaware will do the same, along with bingo. Nevada only offers poker. A proposed Internet betting law in Massachusetts would prohibit online slot machine games.
But in most cases, the games can be accessed through computers, portable tablet devices and smartphones - putting a casino or a card game within reach at 3 a.m. in the kitchen, in the middle of the day at the beach, or on a crowded commuter train.

text: Anchorage CBS Affiliate Caught on Voicemail Conspiring Against Alaska's GOP Senate Candidate by P.J. Salvatore 30 Oct 2010 post a comment Share This: UPDATE: From the Miller Campaign: Now the media has gone from trying to create stories to openly lying. The audio was pulled directly from the voicemail message. Nothing was altered. "Everything that was recorded on my phone is what we released without change," said Randy Desoto. *** The following voice mail message was inadvertently left on the cell phone of Joe Miller campaign spokesperson Randy DeSoto. The voices are believed to be those of the news director for CBS Anchorage affiliate KTVA, along with assignment editor Nick McDermott, and other reporters, openly discussing creating, if not fabricating, two stories about Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, Joe Miller. The following is a transcript of a call recorded after CBS Alaska affiliate KTVA called Joe Miller's Senate campaign spokesperson. The call failed to disconnect properly. It was later authenticated by McDermott, who sent a text to Randy DeSoto stating, "Damn iPhone... I left you a long message. I thought I hung up. Sorry." Audio KTVA - Clearly the reporters were conspiring to set up some type of smear of Joe Miller. With glee, they even cite a recent controversy over an incident involving the Rand Paul campaign, while discussing how they would spread the story via social media after whatever incident they had in mind came off. It also brings to mind another recent episode that ended with Jerry Brown's California gubernatorial campaign being caught up in controversy when someone from Brown's camp called Brown's opponent, Republican Meg Whitman, a "whore." [youtube ftAylfUoogg nolink] This calls into serious question what type of campaign coverage CBS' KTVA has been providing Alaskans all along, given their reporters' willingness to conspire against Miller.

The most beautiful girl that I have ever seen. She can make hearts stop with one simple smile. She is always laughing and making people around her laugh as well. She makes it impossible not to love her. Everything about her is perfect, from her beauty to her personality. I love this girl.
Karin is the girl who stole my heart.
by Theoneandonnnly. March 22, 2011
Karin is the most beautiful girl in the world. She has heavenly hair, and looks like an angel for heaven above. When you see her she shines like a freshly polished dime. Yes I said dime, because she is a ten. With a body like Kim K and a face like angelina jolie. She is a wonder. Hit that.
God, she is such a Karin.

Soccer Quotes and Sayings - Page 4
Play with your Heart, not just your feet.
The last 90 minutes in my life would be my last game.
They say winning isn't everything, then why does it feel so good when you do?
We don't play for the scholarship possibilities or the exercise. We play because every moment we are on the field is a moment where all of our life's problems disappear. We play for the miracle goals and huge comebacks; and for the little girl that shot the ball, fell in love with the game, and never looked back. We play for her!
It's not the same without the grass stains, sweat from head to toe,rough housing so that your sore in the morning, getting penalties for tripping the players,and most importantly, getting into fights with the other teams players when the refs' not looking! If it's too much to handle, its NOT your sport!
A true soccer player doesn't care how about what their hair or make up looks while they're on the field, they care about one thing, getting the ball.

One mistake teaches a lot of right moves. You must fail eventually to get it right.
Love hurts, but not as much as penalty kicks.
Soccer. Futbol. Football. They are all the same thing.. It is not the name that matters.. What matters is those that play it and make the sport what it is!!

Either you play your heart out on the field or you don't play at all.
If your trying to be the next Beckham then your goal is not high enough, You should try to be better and make a bigger name of yourself
Talk all you want about my team, but when we get on the field you'll see how wrong you were. Let our feet talk for us, not your mouths.

The goalie is like the jewel in the crown. The jewel is the most precious part of the team, to let anyone get near her is the biggest crime there is.
For every second you're not out there playing football someone is out there getting better than you.
I beat one man, I beat two, I fly past the third, My shot curls in the top corner, I smile and say "You wanna stop me, you gotta catch me, the ball ain't glued to my feet it just prefers to spend more time with me".

The high stakes of oil by rail
As B.C., Alberta premiers meet, alarm raised at prospect of replacing oil pipelines with tanker cars
Larry Pynn and Gordon Hoekstra, Vancouver SunPublished: Tuesday, November 05, 2013
The advantages and disadvantages were discussed in a recent Canada West Foundation report, Pipe or Perish: Saving an Oil Industry at Risk.
"You have to optimize across all of those factors to determine which one is best," says Len Coad, director of the foundation's Centre for Natural Resources Policy. "But until recently, the preferred alternative was almost always pipeline."
The federal review decision on Northern Gateway will influence oil-by-rail decisions, Coad noted.
Geoff Morrison, spokesman for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, said he's not aware of any specific plans to bring oil by rail to B.C. but he expects companies are looking at the opportunity.
"When the market sees a pinch point, it looks for another way to get there," he said, referring to the inability of western Canadian oil producers to access Asian markets.
"When does a gleam of an eye become an idea? I think we are in that kind of conceptual moment where people are looking at all their options," said Morrison.
Oil is definitely on the move by rail across North America.
Canadian Pacific Railway moved about 13,000 carloads of crude oil in 2011, 53,500 carloads in 2012, and expects to move 90,000 in 2013, most of it shipped to the Gulf Coast and U.S. northeast.
In comparison, CN moved about 5,000 carloads of crude oil (heavy crude, light crude and pure bitumen) in 2011, increasing six-fold to more than 30,000 carloads in 2012, with the potential for business to double to more than 60,000 in 2013.
And even in the absence of port infrastructure for exporting to Asia, crude oil is coming to B.C. by rail.
Hallman said CN transports crude oil to Metro Vancouver for local refinery production and to New Westminster, where it is interchanged with U.S. railroads. Hallman noted that "none of this crude oil is moving to B.C. ports or terminals for export."
The Chevron refinery in Burnaby built a facility just last spring to specifically off-load oil delivered by CPR along the same tracks used by the West Coast Express commuter train.
Chevron currently off-loads eight to 14 rail cars per day, representing 15 per cent of the refinery's current crude oil requirement of 55,000 barrels per day, said Chevron spokesman Ray Lord.

Jill Kelley: David Petraeus-Paula Broadwell Affair Whistleblowerby Free Britney at . Comments
Jill Kelley, 37, has been revealed as the mystery woman who exposed former CIA Director David Petraeus' career-ending affair with Paula Broadwell.
Kelley, a social liaison for an Air Force base in Tampa, is also tied to the military, but says she and Petraeus, who resigned from the CIA Friday, are just "friends."
A married mother of three, Kelley alerted the FBI several months ago after receiving emails from Broadwell, warning her to "stay away from" Petraeus.
Those emails first exposed Petraeus' affair with Broadwell; he resigned before they could be made public as part of a probe into the CIA's response to the Benghazi attack.
Kelley (right), who has an unpaid position as a social planner for MacDill Air Force Base, insisted in a statement Sunday that their relationship was platonic.
"We and our family have been friends with Gen. Petraeus and his family for over five years," she said; he ran U.S. Central Command from the base.
"We respect his family's privacy and want the same for us and our three children."
But Broadwell's father said his daughter is the victim of character assassination and implied the bombshell story is just a smoke screen for something bigger.
"This is about something else entirely, and the truth will come out," her dad, Paul Krantz, told the New York Daily News outside his home in Bismarck, N.D.
"There is a lot more that is going to come out. You wait and see."
Jill Kelley has not spoken publicly about the scandal.
A close friend of Petraeus, a decorated Army general, told ABC News that Kelley indeed saw the general often, but insisted their relationship was innocent.
"It is very clear there was nothing going on other than friendship," the friend said.
This is such a messy situation. Question: If Jill and her husband are such good friends with the Petraeus's, did Jill tell her husband about the harassing emails? Why didn't her husband talk to Petraeus privately since they're such good friends —man to man or good friend to good friend? If Jill and her husband are so concerned about the privacy of their friends, why did she tell the FBI about this woman? What a terrible friendship!
Jill is a nice and very atractive woman. I don`t think she is a "normal" housewife". I think she is planted to get information from these poors generals.
But, what a woman! lol
This story is a sad one full of lies, betrayals, in fighting and a nest of snakes that will take months to unravel.
Original FBI agent contacted by Mrs. Kelley now under scrutiny over his own sending inappropriate photos of himself to her & unnecessary visits.
WH wanted Petraeus gone-now he is.
About that photograph .. I can only hope the rest of the body shot would show Jill Kelley is wearing some sort of flesh-colored slacks with that "top" she's got on .. otherwise, she's wearing something very near to a wildly inappropriate see-through shortie nightgown to a party where everyone else in sight is dressed conservatively.
It's all so sleazy, really. I hope the magic moments with Ms. Broadwell were well worth the general's throwing away his career, reputation and possibly his marriage.
what a bitch. why do these brilliant men get involved with such trashy, nasty women. he should have known better. what a shame. think twice men when you think these younger women are turned on by your charms.
If the FBI and CIA has to investigate every time some politician/military head has an affair actual crimal enterprises should flourish.
Broadwell seems to be a nut job that was turning up at gatherings in DC constantly as his special guest and who had access to come and go in his CIA office whenever she wanted, like she was his wife according to some reports.

The Last of Us will see three DLC packs, season pass pre-order includes all three for $19.99
Naughty Dog, the developer behind Uncharted and the soon to be released The Last of Us are planning three DLC packs for the latter title, with gamers being able to pre-order all of them right now for $19.99 with the game's season pass from the US PlayStation Store.
Other regions will receive The Last of Us digital edition and season pass pre-orders, but dates haven't been announced just yet. Season passes will also make their way to retailers when The Last of Us launches. If you purchase yourself a season pass, you'll receive the Day 1 bonus pack which includes in-game upgrades like increased crafting and healing speed, 9mm reload speed upgrade and a rifle clip capacity upgrade. There's also a 90-minute "Making of The Last of Us" documentary with the Day 1 bonus pack.
Out of the three DLC packs, one of them will include single player content with the other two packs concentrating on multiplayer content that will also include maps "and other expansions".
The Last of Us launches on the PlayStation 3 on June 14, 2013 and will be made available on the PlayStation Store on the same day.
Latest HumbleBundle available for the next 14 days, 5 games with 2 bonus if you beat the average
I'm sure most of our gaming readers know what the HumbleBundle is, but I'll provide a brief explanation for the uninitiated. Users are able to buy the bundle of games for whatever price they'd like and select how it is distributed among charity, the developers, or the provider of HumbleBundles.
The latest HumbleBundle provides five games for any price: Little Inferno, Awesomenauts, Capsized, Thomas Was Alone, and Dear Esther. If you beat the average price--currently at $5.58 and only going up--you'll get two additional games for free: Hotline Miami and Proteus. Individually, the games would cost over $90.
Some interesting statistics so far:
- Total payments: $181,405.44
- Number of purchases: 32,528
- Average purchase: $5.58
- Average Windows: $5.10
- Average Mac: $6.76
- Average Linux: $8.81
I always love how the Linux users are usually the most generous, especially considering they are using a free operating system. Mac users are usually in the middle and Windows users are almost always the cheapest. Maybe they don't have any money left from buying the license key?

First Battlefield 4 multiplayer footage to be unveiled on June 10
We've already seen some of the single player side of Battlefield 4, but what about the multiplayer side of things? DICE have announced that starting June 10, they'll be showing off live Battlefield 4 multiplayer demos at E3.
On June 10 at 1:00pm PDT during "The Download", EA will show off Battlefield 4's multiplayer reveal during EA's 2013 preview. We will learn at the time what is improved, what is new, and what we can expect from the next-generation first-person shooter from EA and DICE.
On the next day, June 11, we'll be greeted with live streaming multiplayer footage from the showroom floor of E3 itself, and during the three days of E3, you'll be able to tune in to see unscripted multiplayer footage, DICE developer insights and interviews with the community. Our own Trace Hagan will be at E3 to get some hands-on for us here at TweakTown.
Check out 'Scrolls' trailer, a new game by the creator of Minecraft
Minecraft has turned into a cultural phenomena. A rather simple game with basic graphics has taken the world by storm and now the creator of Minecraft is looking to follow that success up with a new game called Scrolls. The game has received an official trailer and inital release date. First, the trailer:
The initial beta will kick off on June 3, offering players early access to the game, much like Mojang did with Minecraft. The game is quite a bit different than Minecraft. Minecraft is a open-world game, while scrolls is quite a bit like Magic: The Gathering in that it is a digital collectible card game.
We will definitely be following Scrolls to see how it does just how addictive it is. Now that you've watched the trailer, we want to know what you think about the game. Is it something that you would play? Let us know!

Why EA's CTO got it wrong - follow up on about next-gen consoles being a step ahead of current-gen gaming PC's
Yesterday I wrote an article on EA's CTO Rajat Teneja who said that the upcoming next-generation consoles are "a generation ahead of the highest end PC on the market." The article received massive feedback on Facebook, Twitter, and even made the front page of Reddit. I want to use my last article of the week to explain why I feel Teneja got it wrong.
Several commenters were very quick to point out that the APU has a speed advantage over discrete GPU's as the APU does not have to send data over a PCIe bus then back to the CPU, which adds massive latency. While it is true, I must point out that no AMD APU on the market, or being rumored, can come close to the benchmark scores put up by even one generation old flagship GPU's, such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680. The massive number of cores combined with large amounts of RAM are just not feasible for an APU.
APU's really shine when it comes to mid-level performance in laptops, and productivity machines where the power consumption and extreme performance levels of a discrete GPU are not warranted. Don't get me wrong here, I am an AMD fan boy from way back and have to admit that I do like the APU architecture.

Microsoft planning to sell 25 million more Xbox 360's over next five years, says "Huge Announcement" at E3 will help
Hot on the heels of its underwhelming Xbox One announcement, Microsoft has stated that it plans to continue Xbox 360 sales for the next five years with a 25 million unit sales goal for the period. With sales totaling 77.2 million units to date, that means the company will have to sell 1.25 million units per quarter until 2018.
This announcement comes via an interview with Xbox's Interactive Entertainment Business Senior VP, Yusuf Mehdi. While current sales numbers may be able to sustain those goals, Redmond is going to have trouble pushing that many units once US, UK and Asian markets see the release of the Xbox One. The company plans to bolster 360 sales with a "Huge Announcement" at the upcoming 2013 E3 show, according to the report.
Microsoft Game Studios executive Phil Spencer recently told GameSpot:
"I think the Xbox 360 is going to be very vibrant for many years. In fact, we have a huge, I think it's huge, Xbox 360 announcement for E3 that I keep wanting to talk about, but I can't. I think it will surprise people. I loved what we did last year with Minecraft; bring Minecraft to the box; six million units later it's kind of a beast. I think there's a lot of life in the Xbox 360 for years to come."
Bungie's new game, Destiny, receives a new trailer directed by Iron Man director Jon Favreau
Bungie's new game is getting closer to being in our hands, so what better way to tease everyone before it is shown off at E3 next month? You debut a new live-action trailer directed by the man behind Iron Man 1 and 2, Jon Favreau.
The Destiny trailer also features Revolution and Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito. The trailer, above, shows off a huge CGI space marine who has a gigantic gatling gun. No gameplay footage is shown off, but we should see that at E3.

Microsoft says Xbox One backwards compatibility would be 'really backwards' - what are Microsoft smoking?!
We've already had an idiotic statement by EA saying that the PS4 and Xbox One are generation ahead of the fastest gaming PC's, but now we have Microsoft saying that backwards compatibility on consoles is... backwards.
Microsoft Interactive Entertainment president, Don Mattrick, talked to the Wall Street Journal stating that there are no plans for any form of backwards compatibility on the Xbox One, where he says "if you're backwards compatible, you're really backwards". Mattrick has said that only 5% of customers play titles on a new system, and because of this, the thought of backwards compatibility was thrown away.
I don't see why Microsoft build up a multi-billion-dollar industry around the Xbox 360 (without thinking of the Xbox) and then throw all of those consumers to the side for the next-gen console. If they wanted to look like the good guy here, and they really need to right now with the various holes in their ship (Windows 8, Surface, PC sales), then they would've included full backwards compatibility for their entire Xbox 360 library.
PS4 lays the graphical smackdown on the Xbox One, has 50% more GPU power
We've looked at the specifications between the next-gen consoles, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but it looks like the PS4 might come out as the graphical champion. The PS4 features 50% more graphical horsepower than Microsoft's Xbox One, which is a huge advantage for Sony.
Both consoles share the same AMD architecture, built on AMD's HD 7000 GCN architecture. Microsoft however, have opted for a different configuration of the GPU that includes just 12 Compute Units that provides 768 shader processors (SPs) or ALUs. Sony have powered ahead, cramming 18 Compute Units that provide a total of 1152 shader processors giving them a huge 50% lead in graphical performance.
When it comes to compute performance the PS4 is around 33% faster than the Xbox One with the PS4 capable of 1.84 TFLOPS compared to 1.23 TFLOPS on the Xbox One. Normally this would see the PS4 with better looking games, or games that aren't as efficient, but developers are working with the same AMD architecture between the consoles, so that won't be the case here. What I think we'll see is Microsoft have more tuning behind the scenes in terms of the operating system, so it might multi-task better, but the PS4 will have more grunt.

Rockstar announces Grand Theft Auto V bundles, Collector's edition will cost $150
We've learned more about Grand Theft Auto V's upcoming special editions that will be available for pre-order. Rockstar is offering up two special editions: the Special edition and the Collector's edition. Both come with special features, though the Collector's edition is more expensive and features more perks.
The Special edition costs just $79.99 and comes with loads of special content. Gamers who opt for the Special edition will be provided with a SteelBook case, a blueprint map of Los Santos and Blaine County, a regeneration boost for each character's in-game special ability bar, extra challenges for the stunt plane, bonus outfits and tattoos, special deals at the in-game shops, and additional weapons.
The Collector's edition comes with even more. It includes everything the Special edition does and adds a unique outer box, a real life "security deposit bag", a New Era hat with the Los Santos logo, classic GTA characters for GTA Online, and a special garage with custom vehicles. It will set you back $149.99, or just under double that of the Special edition.
The game will be released September 17 and pre-orders are now available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Lee county is closing its water plant at Olga because of algae and high salt levels in the Calooshatchee River. Officials are blaming the algae on hot and dry weather, and the salinity on intrustion from the gulf.
"We don't want our customers to have taste or odor issues," said Tom Hill, Assistant Dir. of Lee Utilities. "We can handle the algae pretty well, but the salinity is another issue. It's best to just shut down that plant and increase water production at the other plant in the northeast part of the county."
The salt water is intruding upriver because the S. Fl. Water Management District has not released fresh water from Lake Okeechobee for some time. It has not done that because of the low levels in the lake -- it's about 2 feet below the normal for this time of year.
Hill denies any anger toward the water district. "It's mother nature, and mother nature is not always playing fair. Droughts happen," he told WINK News.
However, this week two Lee Co. Commissioners flew to Atlanta. They met with top officials of the Army Corps of Engineers in an effort to get the corps to pressure the water district to release water into the river at more regular intervals. Commissioner Ray Judah told WINK: the district should have been releasing fresh water last November, before the current dry period really got bad. He says the district needs to find ways to make sure there are regular flows of fresh water into the river.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
But God in his grace chose me even before I was born, and called me to serve him. Galatians 1:15a (TEV)
Pastor Rick has been teaching us about the way God calls us into his plans for our lives.
Your calling is a gift from God. He doesn't call a few select saints to serve him. "[God] first save[s] us and then call[s] us to this holy work. We had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea, a gift prepared for us in Jesus long before we knew anything about it". (2 Timothy 1:9 MSG)
This means ordinary people with children and jobs and mortgages and really, really full calendars — in other words, people just like you and me — are called to be ministers from God.
The Bible teaches that every Christian is:
You are among "the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you . . ." (1 Peter 2:9 MSG).

In his 7 session Study Kit "The Invisible War: Winning the Battle of Temptation," Pastor Rick will teach you how to overcome the three predictable types of temptations that Satan uses to entice and defeat you: Passion, Possession, and Position.
Why is everything in life so hard? Why does doing the right thing often feel like a battle? In this new series, Pastor Rick shares insights from God's Word about the unseen spiritual forces working against us; the invisible war between good and evil. This series will help you win the battle within.

Warehouse Management Software for Optimizing & Streamlining Production
Optimize Your Warehouse Storage with Warehouse Management Software
Automated storage systems have been designed to meet the storage needs of a wide variety of operations. When combined with warehouse management software (WMS), streamlining production in your warehouse becomes even easier, more efficient, and can save you thousands of dollars per year on storage and ergonomics.
Streamlining Production Levels with WMS Integration
In order to ensure optimized production levels most effectively, measures must be taken to properly integrate your WMS into new or existing software. Ideally, you will be able to integrate with little downtime and more cost-effectively than traditional, software-less warehouse management. Warehouse management software not only reduces time spent managing your warehouse, but it also reduces human error and provides automatic configuration for tasks such as inventory management and tracking, batch picking, shipping labeling, receiving, material handling, storing materials in the least amount of space possible, and more.
Factors to consider before WMS integration
Before choosing a WMS system for your warehouse, you should first consider whether you want a specific best-of-brand package to integrate into your existing system or to implement a new overall system. WMS-ERP integrated systems are recommended since the software can integrate seamlessly with other existing system activities and processes. An integrated system also helps avoid the difficulties and costs associated with implementing standalone warehouse management software into an existing system.
Benefits of Warehouse management software integration
There are many benefits of integrating warehouse management software into ERP to optimize production levels that goes beyond ease of integration, including:
- Improved supply chain visibility
- Unified data structures and consistent user interfaces that help greatly reduce the amount of time spent training employees
- Improved automated functionality that allows employees to maximize productive time
- Gradual transition to WMS for traditional warehouse systems
- Incremental shutdown capabilities to protect data
- Automated inventory tracking and monitoring
- Integrated technology and software for AS/RS storage systems

How to Apply LEAN Practices in Your Warehousing Facility
LEAN practices are all about reducing waste; however in the past, LEAN practices typically only applied to the production and manufacturing of standardized products. Warehousing and distribution, on the other hand, are service industries that are very far from standardized because the customer is able to choose from thousands of items. With this view, how can the same LEAN practices used in manufacturing apply to your warehousing facility?
8 Types of Waste Found in Warehousing & Distribution
When you look at the waste found in manufacturing, you will see similar types of waste in warehousing and distribution. According to the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW), "Since warehousing is nothing more than managing space and time, reducing waste starts with identifying the poor use of both." In NAW's book Lean Warehousing they describe 8 types of waste found in warehousing,
- Overproduction in manufacturing results in wasted materials. In warehousing, an excess of inventory has the same result.
- Waiting is a waste of time. This is as true in warehouse operations as it is in production.
- Unnecessary movement of cargo is a major source of waste in materials handling.
- Over processing is a waste in production – in warehousing it is over checking.
- Poor inventory control represents waste, particularly when stock-outs are frequent.
- Movement is a waste when it involves hunting for tools, or stored items that cannot be located.
- Defective parts waste production; in warehousing, errors result in waste.
- Unused employee creativity represents a waste of human resources.
Once you have identified the causes of waste in your facility, you can move forward and apply LEAN practices.
Equipment to Help Facilitate LEAN Practices for Warehousing
Managing space, time, and inventory to reduce waste is a large task. That's why investing in the right equipment solutions will help you facilitate LEAN practices. Depending on your particular needs, there are a variety of equipment solutions including,
- Vertical lift modules (VLM): The vertical lift modules store small, medium, and large parts in the least amount of floor space possible.
- Vertical Carousels: The vertical carousels maximize the storage of small parts in bins.
- Horizontal carousels: The horizontal carousels increase picking efficiency by allowing for batch picking.
Each of these machines operates on the goods-to-person principle: delivering stored items directly to the user. This eliminates the time workers spend searching for items. In addition, the VLM and vertical carousels have an ergonomically positioned work counter that helps to reduce injuries related to bending, twisting, and reaching for stored items.
Other equipment designed to maximize the use of space in your warehouse includes,
- Compact pallet racks: The compact pallet racks condense the floor space required for storage by 50% while maintaining accessibility.
- Mezzanines: The mezzanines use vertical space to add another level of floor space to your warehouse.
- Specialty vertical carousels: The specialty vertical carousels store items like rolls of textiles, tires, hanging garments, wire spools, and print cylinders.

Use Vertical Pallet Shuttles to Reduce Work-Related Injuries
How Much Money is Your Business Spending on Work-Related Injuries?
The costs related to on-the-job injuries, productivity loss, and worker's compensation have risen over $33 billion since 1992, reaching up to $250 billion in 2012. Just one glance at these statistics shows that worker safety needs to become a much bigger priority, especially in industries that deal with storing and handling heavy machinery.
Vertical Pallet Shuttles Automate Manual Storage & Retrieval Processes
Using vertical pallet shuttles to store and retrieve heavy machinery and other large loads – motors, valves, dies, etc – creates a safer work environment, which in turn, reduces on-the-job injuries and increases productivity. The vertical pallet shuttles handle heavy material automatically to minimize the amount of time employees spend manually transporting objects, which poses a risk both to themselves and to the product. In addition to improving worker and product safety, vertical pallet shuttles offer incredible space-savings by maximizing unused air space.
Why You Should Use Kardex Vertical Pallet Shuttles
Kardex Remstar provides shuttles, lifts, and pallet racks for storing heavy machinery and large products. For example, the Kardex Shuttle XP 1000 is a compact, automated vertical shuttle that provides increased efficiency while saving up to 80% of the floor space usually required with traditional storage shelving or racks.
The shuttle is even compatible with cranes, forklifts, and pallet trucks, allowing workers to move and store low to medium height heavy products in the pallet racks on the shuttle quickly and with ease. This eliminates much of the lifting, twisting, bending, and other repetitive motions that lead to injury or product damage. With automated vertical pallet shuttles, workers can spend more time on batch picking and processing and less time on heavy lifting and walking.
Where Can You Find Kardex Vertical Pallet Shuttles?
Southwest Solutions Group® provides design, installation, and consultation services for businesses that are looking to reduce work-related injuries with vertical pallet shuttles.

Spacesaver ActivRAC Pallet Racks on Tracks for LEAN Warehouse Storage
In Part 1 (read here) of the series, we talked about four factors to consider when creating LEAN manufacturing and warehouse storage spaces:
1. Adaptability for Current and Future Needs
2. Functional Layout and Space Configuration
3. Safety and Comfort for Employees
4. Sustainable Technologies and Practices
In Part 2, (read here) we discussed how Kardex Remstar Vertical Lift Modules are a great equipment solution for creating LEAN small parts storage areas. Now, we are going to explain how Spacesaver® ActivRAC™ Pallet Racks on Tracks can help you meet your LEAN manufacturing warehouse storage goals and do more with less. (watch a video on how Pallet Racks on Tracks save floor space and increase storage capacity)
What are Spacesaver Pallet Racks on Tracks?
The Spacesaver ActivRAC System is pallet racks that are mounted on specially designed carriage structures with wheels that roll back and forth on floor tracks; basically, they are racks on tracks. The rows of pallet racks reduce the amount of static access aisles by moving sideways along the floor tracks to create a movable or floating access aisle. With a push of a button or by remote control, up to 80' long rows of pallet racks move to open access aisles when and where they are needed. Anything that can be moved by a lift truck or crane can be stored on Spacesaver Pallet Racks because there is virtually no size, bulk, shape, or weight design limits.
Spacesaver Mobile Pallet Racks Allow for Growth through Floor Space Savings
Spacesaver Pallet Racks on Tracks maximize your warehouse storage area by increasing your storage capacity in half the floor space. Typically, 60% of floor space is wasted on access aisles and only 40% is actually used for storage. With a Spacesaver Mobilized Rack System you can store the same amount of materials or more in 50% less floor space. You can use that extra space to consolidate storage from auxiliary warehouses, create more staging areas, add a new production line, add more offices, or add more pallet rack storage. Spacesaver Compact Pallet Racks efficiently use your warehouse storage space so that you don't have to worry about costly off-site storage or an obsolete facility layout.
Spacesaver Pallet Racks on Tracks Create a Secure and Safe Work Environment
Because the Spacesaver rack system rolls racks together to save space, security can be better controlled if needed. Rows of racks can be locked together or the entire system can be locked to protect and secure parts from being accessed by unauthorized personnel.
The Spacesaver Racks on Tracks System is extremely safe for employees to use because it is equipped with infrared safety lasers that run from end to end along the face of the pallet rack rows and side to side across the access aisles. The safety lasers will detect whether a person or object is in an open access aisle and display on the touchpad that the aisle is in use and prevent movement of the shelving till the person or object is gone. Also, the floor tracks are flush with the concrete slab to prevent tripping hazards.
Sustainable Warehouse Storage and a Fast Return on Investment
The Spacesaver ActivRAC Pallet Racks on Tracks are a great way to invest in sustainable technologies. Because they conserve so much floor space, you can reduce or eliminate new building construction costs, auxiliary warehouses, building expansions, and decrease operational costs like lighting, heat, air conditioning, and insurance.
The Compact Pallet Racks also provide a quick return on investment (ROI). Spacesaver Compact Mobile Rack owners can expect their ROI in as little as 24 months. The Spacesaver Pallet Racks on Tracks System's three main qualities, easy access with 100% selectivity, efficient cube utilization, and a high ROI with quick payback, allow companies looking for sustainable LEAN storage systems to remain competitive.

When I opened the box and saw these hair ties, I got really excited. I am, as you will see, a BIG fan of this kind of hair tie. From the first time I received this style hair tie in a Birchbox two years ago, I have never used a regular hair tie again. But the name brand ones can be really expensive and even the Sephora brand ones are on the pricey end, so I was over the moon to see that now there's a drugstore version that I can try out. If you can't tell I've tried a lot of different versions of these.
The Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics are knotted elastic hair bands made from a sort of ribbon-like material. They are great for my thick curly hair because they don't get tangled and snag, but they also keep my hair nice and tightly pulled up. I am also very happy to see that these don't stretch out as easily as some of the others I have tried out.
Now don't get me wrong, they DO stretch, but they stretch like the Sephora brand ones in that they still look exactly the same as they did when you bought them just looser. The Twistband ones get really wonky and crinkly and are not cute after a certain point. As you'll be able to see below the stretching on the Goody ones is noticeable, but they fit my wrist kind of snuggly to begin with (and I have pretty small wrists), so a little stretching is actually a good thing. I always have a hair tie on my wrist and I do like the way these look on the wrist and since they are made of soft material they don't leave a mark on your wrist or feel really uncomfortable.
Overall, how do they compare to some of the others on the market? First off they look and basically feel exactly like the name brand and Sephora brand ones (the Twistband ones are a bit softer). The knot is bigger on the Goody ones and they are all different when it comes to size. The Goody ones (and the Sephora ones) don't have the same stretching problem that the Twistband ones. And all of them hold my hair, don't snag, or leave marks on my wrist equally as well.
What I will say is that I wish that Goody would come out with more colors and cute seasonal patterns. That's one way that Twistband has them all beat, they have a bunch of amazing patterns, though it doesn't make up for the stretching problem.
All in all, I would definitely recommend these. The quality is great, the style is great, and they are definitely affordable. COME OUT WITH MORE COLORS FOR ME TO HOARD GOODY!
Disclosure: I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster. All opinions are my own.
