The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: G3* - IRAN - Iran Guards official says Ahmadinezhad, Masha'i
"conjoined twin"
Iran Guards official says Ahmadinezhad, Masha'i "conjoined twin"
A senior Iranian Guards official has described President Mahmud
Ahmadinezhad and his aide Esfandiar Rahim-Masha'i as "conjoined twin",
Mehr News Agency reported on 21 June.
The Supreme Leader's deputy representative at the Islamic Revolution
Guards Corps (IRGC), Hojjat ol-Eslam Mojtaba Zonnur made the remark at
the Vigilance and Scientific Jihad Conference in Tehran on Monday, 20
Zonnur referred to the row between President Ahmadinezhad and Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Khamene'i over the reinstatement of Intelligence
Minister Heydar Moslehi in April. At that time, Ahmadinezhad refused to
attend the office for 11 days as a protest to the reinstatement. Zonnur
said: "During those 11 days when Ahmadinezhad was in sulk, 200 state
officials talked to him either in person or on the phone but that was of
no use. In my opinion, Ahmadinezhad did not go to work willingly and he
had to attend the office under duress and unwillingly. This was because
the Majlis had become tense and the deadline [set by MPs for
Ahmadinezhad] came to an end. If he had failed to attend the office on
that day, he would have been impeached the day after."
The IRGC official added: "If the Majlis was to review a plan on
Ahmadinezhad's political incompetence, he would have received the
largest number of votes of no confidence."
Zonnur referred to possible measures that can be taken to confront the
"deviant current", and said: "Some people say that if we separate
Ahmadinezhad from Masha'i, everything will become alright." He likened
Ahmadinezhad and Masha'i to Ladan and Laleh Bijani (1974 -2003), Iranian
conjoined twin sisters joined at the head, who died after their surgical
separation. Zonnur added: "It is impossible to separate Ahmadinezhad
from Masha'i and this separation has some costs." He added: "Time is not
ripe to confront this issue and we should tolerate it, however it means
that we should not allow the deviant current to do whatever it wants."
Following the row between Ahmadinezhad and the Supreme Leader, the
conservative camp accused the president's controversial aide Esfandiar
Rahim-Masha'i of being behind a "deviant current" in the country.
Supreme Leader's supporters have intensified their criticism of the
president's close aides, particularly Rahim-Masha'i, in recent weeks.
They also accuse Ahmadinezhad's aides of spreading "Iranism or Iranian
school of thought" instead of the "Islamic school of thought" and
resorting to "fortunetelling and witchcraft."
In their recent confrontation, conservative MPs have prepared a plan to
impeach Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi as he appointed Mohammad
Sharif Malekzadeh as deputy foreign minister for
administrative-financial affairs. The MPs argued that Malekzadeh is
close to President Mahmud Ahmadinezhad's controversial aide, Esfandiar
Rahim-Masha'i. Some MPs said that the impeachment might be cancelled as
Malekzadeh resigned on 21 June following the growing pressures.

Ewwwwwwww they are hairy and shitty.
> <
lol...yeah, again, sorry, my bad, I guess I was too vague in the title of this thread.
Please, post more pics! Luv u guys!
Here's one. Will you rim it?
This one could use a lick
I won't say anything bad, but I'm just not feeling the love...
I don't think one should necessarily scour one's ass with steel wool and bleach, but wipe the thing after you use it!
I like an ass to look all clean and pink, like the inside of a shell. Also, if a guy doesn't even wipe his own ass properly, what about the rest of his hygiene? You gotta wonder...
A lot of guys like to talk about how they would lick out a dirty butthole and love it, etc, but in reality it's probably not that true. When I'm with a guy, I do a dingleberry test where I start fingering him and if I feel any crispy critters down there, it's oral only!
Er that is oral dick sex, not like I'm gonna go cuckoo for cocoa crusts.
"When I'm with a guy, I do a dingleberry test where I start fingering him and if I feel any crispy critters down there, it's oral only!"
Ok, a quick joke...What does the Starship Enterprise and a wad of toilet paper have in common?...
They both circle Uranus looking for Klingons...
Oh, I know, it's an old one, but I think it stands the test of time...
I just wanted to say that I think these people specifically had their asses dirty like this, probably for some people liked the OP who gets off on shit asses which is fucking gross. But I truly doubt that the people who were taking the pictures would take pictures of asses with shit on them if they weren't meant to be. It is just like one photo of a boy with shit on his ass with underwear that has a brown spot it looks very staged. Like I said, it was probably intentional.
I wouldn't do anything with them GROSS. If you are 7 and you don't wipe, it is excusable. If you are a teen+ and you don't, then that is a severe hygiene problem. I don't get it, don't people feel not wiping to be 'uncomfortable'? I wet the toilet paper before wiping because it cleans you much better than dry toilet paper and you can get up your ass very easily with wet toilet paper. I believe if you use dry toilet paper you are not truly clean.
The top/dom men I do this raunch play with either don't wipe or do so minimally post dump when they know that their asswipe pig, yours truly, is going to take care of it for them. They are typically very clean guys, butt...aside from the dude that introduced me to eating his filthy raunchy hairy shithole and asscrack, it is something that this piggy has had to ask them to do for me. One of them is really gettin off on "making" me be his asswipe, while the other guy accommodates me, as i do his little quirks like takin a piss while i blow him. For fetishes generally, I think we are too shamebased and assume some of our sex partners aren't into it, or would even reject us. This is something I can't say I am proud of, but it is such a turn on....unbelievably so.....that to find men that will do this for me leaves me very grateful that I asked.
There's nothing wrong with having a shitty butthole. It's natural. Our buttholes were made for shit. If you guys can't stand that truth , then maybe you need too seek professional help.
For me, I like to rim out a nice asshole that's like sweaty and jock-smelly, not visible shit, but right after he gone done wiping, so not chlorox-clean but not nasty shit on it either. I like something in between, where he just took a dump and wiped it, but hasn't showered or washed it. I could have an ass like that on my face all day.
I hate rimming freshly washed arse holes they all taste the same - bland, or worse of soap! Where as a dirty hole has it's unique flavour for each guy, give me an unwashed hole anyday!!
I like having my ass eaten when its dirty and fingered to. Its hot.
I love licking men's buttholes fresh off the toilet.
god i love eating dirty ass nothing beats it my ass is always aleast a little dirty but idk why my ass always stinks good even my ex boyfriends who werent kinky at all always told me my ass smells so good even when i didnt shower for a day or two lol
I love to eat dirty, filthy assholes. The hairier and raunchier the better. It makes me so hard when my dom makes me lay under his rim chair and spreads his shitty hole and makes me lick and suck his hole and crack until he is squeaky clean and I have done a thoroug job as his personal asswipe.
Some of the William Higgins sets were re-released in larger sizes this summer on Badpuppy. The closeup ass shots leave little to the imagination
a few more of Lukas Federov:
I agree, a cute guy with a dirty butthole is a huge turn on! Sometimes if I'm on my own and really horny, I don't wipe my hole completely cause I like the feeling of it dirty down there. ;P
Once uppon a time I was dirty down there and me and my boyfriend were making out and playing with our precum and he wanted to know if he could rim me. I said no, Im dirty sorry babe. But he really insisted and I said that theres shit on my ass, i tried to be a little more specific and he really insisted.
Obviously it came down to me just saying flat out no from being self-conscious.
I regret to this day not letting him as Ive grown up a bit and can appreciate more musky, manly parts like day old arm pits and cracks.
I too like it a little dirty down there, I often times don't wipe completely and also like to get my white briefs really skidmarked (skids another topic I know) that way when I hook up with my fuck buddy who also likes to keep a dirty ass we can swap skidmarked briefs while we both take turns smelling and rimming each others dirty hole. I often times think when I see hot guys I wonder how clean they keep their butt and if their briefs are skidded like mine.
Pretty interesting thread.
"Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.'' - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Had I known bottoms like cocksucker4use existed three and a half decades ago I would have left mine dirty just to let someone like him rim me clean until my dick was rock hard or let him suck it clean after I fucked his ass(which some bottoms did).
This always sounded grossgusting to me but some Tops and rimmers also get off on the Top farting in their mouth.
Be careful whom you kiss!
Holy shit @ this thread!
But, obviously, somebody added the brown stains to most of the pics after the pics had been taken.
Anyone else?

Anyone else here get really turned on by the idea of farting right as you cum inside his ass?
Fucking displaces a lot of air, and I love when the cum is pumping in and there's a little fart. So hot.
farting while getting fucked is awesome. I love squeezing out a nice one when a guy has his cock deep in my ass. It makes him cum even quicker.
i love licking a dirty hole
Nothing like the smell of a sweaty ever so slightly dirty butthole. Not shit covered just that sweaty sticky and musky funk that collects after a long day! I love it when that smell transfers to a guys underwear or the little string on a thong! Can't get enough of that smell and taste!
We can post pics of ourself elsewhere than the Amateur Chowcase forum, if it's fetish-related, right? I wanna upload some to this thread, hasn't had any new photos for a while. :P
As someone said buttholes are meant to be dirty and yeah I love em dirty or at least unwashed. THe smell really gets me going

+ Anna Paquin indie slated to shoot in Sarasota
While hobnobbing this week with the cast and crew from "A Lot in Common" (leading lady Jini Mount is this week's Diversions cover girl), I walked away with an interesting scoop.
According to Art Director Annette Breazeale, a low-budget indie flick by writer/director Shana Sosin is scheduled to begin shooting Oct. 22 in Sarasota.
Sosin's script is based on her life story about growing up the daughter of a marijuana smuggler.
Susan Dynner, who won the Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, is producing the feature-length film, which will star "True Blood" actress Anna Paquin.
Perhaps the movie will need extras. If so, let's hope the age and costume stipulations are less upper-crusty than that which the director of last month's Jennifer Lopez caper was looking.
Those of us under 30 who don't own ballgowns would like our turn at a Hollywood close-up.
+ 'Whimsical' demolition under way on the North Trail
The pink flamingos at the Marietta Museum of Art & Whimsy are spreading their wings.
Mary Lee, the Sarasota art collector who in 2008 purchased the old Kancha Buddhist Center on North Tamiami Trail for $1.55 million, painted it pink and turned it into a museum for her eclectic art collection, has now gobbled up the parcel next door.
Demolition has already begun on the 29-unit Southland Inn, which Lee purchased earlier this year for $950,000. She says she plans to spend the next couple of years expanding her art museum and converting what's left of the existing motel into office and studio space.
"I'm always on the lookout for more space," Lee says. "I don't know the schedule (for renovating the exterior) yet, but we will probably paint it sometime."
Who wants to bet she paints it pink?
+ One man's dead palm is another man's tiki pole
After stormy weather ravaged many of Anna Maria Island's cabbage palms, waterfront business owners figured they'd be shelling out big bucks to have the trees removed.
Enter local artist Jeff Chouninard, who last week transformed some of the dead trunks by carving them into tiki poles.
Chouninard, who owns Surf Soul Tiki, has already turned three dead trees in front of the BeachHouse Restaurant on the south end of Anna Maria into tropical décor.
If you see Chouninard around town, be sure to praise his resourcefulness. When most people would have fired up a stump-grinder, this guy picked up his whittling knife.
+ Blanco's 'Zephyrus' makes waves in South Carolina
Sarasota sculptor Jorge Blanco was one of 20 sculptors selected by the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry for its public art exhibition on Hilton Head Island, S.C.
Blanco's 14-foot aluminum "Zephyrus" is currently on display through the end of the year at Hilton Head's Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn.
The Venezuelan-born sculptor, who was chosen out of 339 applicants for the event, is competing against juried artists from across the country for a spot in Hilton Head's permanent public art collection. You can vote for Blanco for the exhibit's People's Choice Award by visiting www.hhipublicart.org.
'Doctor Idol': Sarasota doctors jam for a good cause at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14, at Michael's On East. The third annual "Doctor Idol" competition, sponsored by the Sarasota Orthopedic Associates, will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County. The talent competition/fundraiser has become one of the must-see events of the year. Where else can you see a gastroenterologist, ophthalmologist and neurologist rock out to Ozzy Osbourne? Tickets are $25. For more information, visit www.doctoridol.org or call 685-0367.

Interesting that FIOS just added BBC America. I don't think it's a coincidence that two major holdouts got it a week before Copper debuts.
Nor do I. Probably both sides budged a bit because this is a win-win for all. Copper could be the next Mad Men. Or it could fail.

This is a very pretty jumpsuit. I got a medium but should have got it in small...a little to loose in the legs and bust. I'm keeping it though because its so cute and they're sold out.

Hot and Sexy!!!
Love this jumpsuit...its a must have for summer.the color is so vibrant...Hot!!! i bought one last year too in a different color.i got the xxs and it fits perfect ;)

Great Romper!!
Love this romper! The hot coral color is beautiful for summer and love the style! I brought one last year in a different color and I love that bebe brings back great designs in different colors! My big recommendation is if you are petite i suggest you go down a size! i usually wear an xs in dresses, but as for rompers i always wear a xxs! I'm 5'2" and 107 lbs, 32c. The other great thing is the cut out in the back, you can still wear a strapless bra and its hidden. Will wear with bebe nude heels!

Can you explain to me what the BB DECA is really doing? (i.e. it takes a signal from the internet and distributes it to ....)
Any suggestions on where to buy a H24/25? (other than DirecTV)

An anonymous reader writes "After only one year in operation, Google's Moto X factory in Fort Worth, TX, is scheduled to close at the end of 2014. The decision to close apparently has nothing to do with Google's decision to sell Motorola Mobility to Lenovo and everything to do with poor sales numbers and high labor and shipping costs in the U.S. The factory had, at one point, employed 3,800 people. Their ranks now number at about 700. Moto E and Moto G, newer and cheaper iterations of Moto X, have sold in more profitable numbers overseas, so Google's original rationale of building phones nearer to the largest customer base to decrease time between assembly and delivery to end user will unsurprisingly force the closure of the U.S.-based factory and transfer labor overseas as well."
An anonymous reader writes "What got you into hacking? This is a question that Jennifer Steffen, IOActive CEO, often asks hackers she meets on conferences around the world. More often than not, the answer is movies: War Games, Hackers, The Matrix, and so on. But today, it is the real life hacking that is inspiring the movies of tomorrow. 'Hackers are doing epic stuff,' she says, and they are now inspiring movies and comics. So, what got you started? And what makes a good hacker today?"
Meet David. Tim Lord ran into him at the 2014 Maker Faire Bay Area. He didn't have a display, and he wasn't obviously trying to sell anything or promote a Kickstarter campaign. He was just walking around with a panel full of LEDs that he wears as a backpack while riding his bike, which beats the heck out of regular bike taillights, even the blinky flashy ones a lot of us have these days. So good on you, David. This is your three minutes of Slashdot fame -- and please note, people, that you can now fast-forward through any preroll ads longer than 30 seconds, so you won't get bombed with multi-minute ads to watch a three minute Slashdot video.

An anonymous reader writes "The SparkFun team took a tour of a factory in China that manufactures LEDs. They took lots of pictures showing the parts that go into the LEDs, the machines used to build them, and the people operating the machines. There's a surprising amount of manual labor involved with making LEDs. Quoting: 'As shipped on the paper sheets, the LED dies are too close together to manipulate. There is a mechanical machine ... that spreads the dies out and sticks them to a film of weak adhesive. This film is suspended above the lead frames ... Using a microscope, the worker manually aligns the die, and, with a pair of tweezers, pokes the die down into the lead frame. The adhesive in the lead frame wins (is more sticky), and the worker quickly moves to the next die. We were told they can align over 80 per minute or about 40,000 per day.'"

cartechboy writes: "Most automakers have made the jump from hydraulic power steering to electronic power steering to help conserve fuel. By using an electric motor instead of a hydraulic system, less energy is drawn from the engine. Many luxury automakers have also introduced adaptive steering with the electronic power steering systems, but now Ford is looking to bring this feature to the masses. Adaptive steering builds on the existing speed-sensitive function of the electronic power steering system by altering the steering ratio and effort based on driver inputs and settings. The system uses a precision-controlled actuator placed inside the steering wheel. It's an electric motor and gearing system that can essentially add or subtract from the driver's steering inputs. This will make the vehicle easier to maneuver at low speeds, and make a vehicle feel more stable at high speeds. The system (video) will be offered on certain Ford vehicles within the next 12 months."
An anonymous reader writes "After the HD revolution, display manufacturers rolled out gimmick after gimmick to try to recapture that burst of purchasing (3-D, curved displays, 'Smart' features, form factor tweaks, etc). Now, we're finally seeing an improvement that might actually be useful: 4K displays are starting to drop into a reasonable price range. Tech Report reviews a 28" model from Asus that runs $650. They say, 'Unlike almost every other 4K display on the market, the PB287Q is capable of treating that grid as a single, coherent surface. ... Running games at 4K requires tons of GPU horsepower, yet dual-tile displays don't support simple scaling. As a result, you can't drop back to obvious subset resolutions like 2560x1440 or 1920x1080 in order to keep frame rendering times low. ... And single-tile 4K at 30Hz stinks worse, especially for gaming. The PB287Q solves almost all of those problems.' They add that the monitor's firmware is not great, and while most options you want are available, they often require digging through menus to set up. The review ends up recommending the monitor, but notes that, more importantly, its capabilities signify 'the promise of better things coming soon.'"

Lucas123 (935744) writes "Currently, the hottest trend from TV manufacturers is to offer curved panels, but analysts say it's nothing more than a ploy to pander to consumers who want the latest, coolest-looking tech in their home. In the end, the TVs don't offer better picture quality. In fact, they offer a degraded view to anyone sitting off center. Samsung and LG claim that the curve provides a cinema-like experience by offering a more balanced and uniform view so that the edges of the set don't appear further away than the middle. Paul Gray, director of European TV Research for DisplaySearch, said those claims are nothing by pseudo-science. "Curved screens are a gimmick, much along the same lines as 3D TVs are," said Paul O'Donovan, Gartner's principal analyst for consumer electronics research."
Daniel_Stuckey (2647775) writes "The environmental benefits of streaming a movie (or downloading it) rather than purchasing a DVD are staggering, according to a new U.S. government study by researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. If all DVDs purchased in 2011 were streamed instead, the energy savings would have been enough to meet the electricity demands of roughly 200,000 households. It would have cut roughly 2 billion kilograms of carbon emissions. According to the study, published in Environmental Research Letters, even when you take into account cloud storage, data servers, the streaming device, streaming uses much less energy than purchasing a DVD. If, like me, you're thinking, 'who buys DVDs anymore, anyways?', the answer is 'a lot of people.'" The linked paper is all there, too — not just an abstract and a paywall.

We have to find a way to exploit space resources and cut down on the amount of stuff we need to launch from Earth. That's not a new idea. But this article in IEEE Spectrum suggests research on resource extraction and fabrication in low and zero gravity might actually be making progress...and that we could take these technologies quite far if we get our act together."
Bunnie Huang is both a hardware and software hacker, but that's greatly understating the case: renaissance man is more like it. Bunnie doesn't just tinker with one-off system modifications or console mods (though he's done that, too) -- he creates and repurposes at scale. (He's also an author, respected researcher with interesting thoughts on a wide range of topics, like how to think of the H1N1 flu from the point of view of a security researcher.) Bunnie's latest long-term project has been mentioned a few times on Slashdot: It's an open-source laptop computer that goes much farther than some other open-source hardware projects, and as a bonus includes an FPGA as well as a conventional -- but unusual -- processor. (Bunnie grants that there are still bits that aren't quite open source, but points out that we also don't have the software that runs the fabs; there's a point of diminishing returns.) A crowd funding campaign (via CrowdSupply) was successful enough to also fund several stretch goals, including a general purpose breakout board. I talked with Bunnie at the recent Bay Area Maker Faire. (Expect more from that show in coming weeks.) He walked us through the state of the hardware, and talked about some of the design decisions that go into making a computer that is of, by, and for hackers. (Alternate video link)

Google, Apple and Microsoft all have device design and manufacturing experience as well as stores that sell books and other written material. A Kindle-killing e-reader would be low-hanging fruit for Apple, Google or Microsoft — think of the competition if they each built one!" Handwriting as an input method would be nice too; a friend in college had one of the experimental Windows XP tablet PCs, and it was great for note taking and document annotation.
MojoKid writes: "NVIDIA recently announced that it would offer a free 24-hour test drive of NVIDIA GRID to anyone who wanted to see what the technology could do. It turns out to be pretty impressive. NVIDIA's GRID is a virtual GPU technology that allows for hardware acceleration in a virtual environment. It's designed to run in concert with products from Citrix, VMWare, and Microsoft, and to address some of the weaknesses of these applications. The problem with many conventional Virtual Desktop Interfaces (VDIs) is that they're often either too slow for advanced graphics work or unable to handle 3D workloads at all. Now, with GRID, NVIDIA is claiming that it can offer a vGPU passthrough solution that allows remote users to access a virtualized desktop environment built around a high-end CPU and GPU. The test systems the company is using for these 24-hour test drives all use a GRID K520. That's essentially two GK104 GPUs on a single PCB with 8GB of RAM. The TD program is still in beta, the deployment range is considerable, and the test drives themselves are configured for a 1366x768 display at 30 FPS and a maximum available bandwidth cap of 10Mbit."
A limitation of current (affordable) 3D printers is their use of open loop controllers and stepper motors which limits reliability (drove the motor too quickly and skipped a step? Your model is ruined) and precision (~300 steps per revolution). A new project, Servo Stock instead uses cheap RC Servomotors combined with Hall Effect sensors, using a closed-loop controller to precisely position the extruder. The Servo Stock is derived from the delta robot Reprap Rostock (which is pretty cool even with stepper motors). The sensors give a resolution of 4096 ticks per rotation, and the controller can currently position the motors to within +/-2 ticks. They've also simplified the printer electronics by driving as much as possible from the controlling computer using Bowler, a new communication protocol for machine control. The Servo Stock also includes sensors for the hot end, presumably to be used to control the filament feed rate and temperature. The hardware models are fully parametric, allowing reasonably straightforward scaling of the design. Source for the hardware, firmware, and software is available.
mdsolar (1045926) writes with news of nuclear plants across the U.S. dealing with the consequences of the failure of Yucca Mountain. From the article: "The steel and concrete containers used to store the waste on-site were envisioned as only a short-term solution when introduced in the 1980s. Now they are the subject of reviews by industry and government to determine how they might hold up — if needed — for decades or longer. With nowhere else to put its nuclear waste, the Millstone Power Station overlooking Long Island Sound is sealing it up in massive steel canisters on what used to be a parking lot. The storage pad, first built in 2005, was recently expanded to make room for seven times as many canisters filled with spent fuel. ... The government is pursuing a new plan for nuclear waste storage, hoping to break an impasse left by the collapse of a proposal for Nevada's Yucca Mountain. The Energy Department says it expects other states will compete for a repository ... But the plan faces hurdles including a need for new legislation that has stalled in Congress." There's always recycling or transmutation.
mdsolar (1045926) writes in with a story about how important buying the right kind of kitty litter can be. "In February, a 55-gallon drum of radioactive waste burst open inside America's only nuclear dump, in New Mexico. Now investigators believe the cause may have been a pet store purchase gone bad. 'It was the wrong kitty litter,' says James Conca, a geochemist in Richland, Wash., who has spent decades in the nuclear waste business. It turns out there's more to cat litter than you think. It can soak up urine, but it's just as good at absorbing radioactive material. 'It actually works well both in the home litter box as well as the radiochemistry laboratory,' says Conca, who is not directly involved in the current investigation. Cat litter has been used for years to dispose of nuclear waste. Dump it into a drum of sludge and it will stabilize volatile radioactive chemicals. The litter prevents it from reacting with the environment. And this is what contractors at Los Alamos National Laboratory were doing as they packed Cold War-era waste for shipment to the dump. But at some point, they decided to make a switch, from clay to organic. 'Now that might sound nice, you're trying to be green and all that, but the organic kitty litters are organic,' says Conca. Organic litter is made of plant material, which is full of chemical compounds that can react with the nuclear waste. 'They actually are just fuel, and so they're the wrong thing to add,' he says. Investigators now believe the litter and waste caused the drum to slowly heat up 'sort of like a slow burn charcoal briquette instead of an actual bomb.' After it arrived at the dump, it burst."
It wasn't long after the rise of the Oculus Rift that Sony hopped on the virtual reality bandwagon and announced a headset of their own. Now, Eurogamer has had a chance to operate and test Sony's hardware, which they say "has its own distinct vision for VR," as well as a distinct focus on console gaming. "On the 640x768 per eye first-gen Rift, the result was the perception of a disappointingly minuscule resolution, with a highly distracting "screen door" effect where you could see between the pixels. This is far less of an issue with Morpheus, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good image quality is in an environment where resolution remains at a premium. In discussing the situation with Sony, it's clear that some effort has gone into judging how to best apply the fisheye lens effect that distorts the image, with a stronger focus on retaining resolution in the key focus area. Over and above that, we wouldn't be surprised if the narrower field of view also contributes to improving image integrity. ... However, in comparing Morpheus to what we've seen from Oculus VR, it's perhaps surprising to discover that a truly transformative element of the proposition comes from a piece of hardware that you might already own: PlayStation Move. Our aspirations for the hardware were never fully realized, but the hook-up with Morpheus is a match made in heaven - in fact, if there is to be a struggle for market leadership with Oculus (and potentially Microsoft), the existing motion controller is undoubtedly one of the strongest weapons in Sony's arsenal."
Ars Technica reports that HP is back in the $100 tablet market, and this time with a tablet that's intended to be priced there instead of just a fire sale. The new offering lacks Bluetooth and GPS, among other features you might wish for in a tablet, and the screen is surrounded by a hefty bezel, but manages a pretty good list of features. Ars summarizes: "For $100, you can't expect much of the spec sheet. The HP 7 Plus has a 7-inch 1024x600 IPS display, a 1GHz quad-core Cortex A7 processor (made by a company called "Allwinner"), 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, 802.11 b/g/n, a microSD slot, and a 2800 mAh battery. The biggest downside HP could have fixed at this price point is the software: it's only running Android 4.2.2. Android versions are free, HP." Having an avaialble microSD slot beats some more expensive options, too.
TechCrunch's video introduction (not intended as a full review) to the recently introduced Microsoft Surface Pro 3 has mostly good things to say about the device. Reviewer Alex Wilhelm compares it to his MacBook Air, and though he's not sure that the Surface is a better fit for all-day typing than the 11" Air (slightly larger, slightly heavier than the Surface), he says the Surface does a good job of integrating input options (both finger and stylus input) that the Air -- and most laptops -- just don't have. The Washington Post's Hayley Tsukayama also compares the Surface to the Air, rather than to an Android or Apple tablet, writing, "It's heavy for a tablet, sure, but light for a laptop at 1.7 pounds. And while it doesn't have the array of ports that laptops do, you can make do with the two that it does have, a mini-display port that's good for presentations and a USB 3.0 that's good for, well, everything else. You will probably need a hub to get everything you want of this, though. (Or you could go to using Bluetooth accessories, which the Surface Pro 3 will also support.)" Ars Technica has an informative hands-on review as well, but one which parts from these by emphatically describing the Surface as a tablet, not a laptop; Ars reviewer Peter Bright gives high marks for many aspects of the design and materials, though he says his experience with the included pressure-sensitive pen was "problematic." (His initial sample pen had to be replaced, and even when it did work, it lacks tilt sensing.) Troubling for anyone who would prefer to use it as a laptop, Bright says the Surface 3 is better than its forebears but still an awkward fit for using on an actual lap, and that despite the improvements Microsoft's made it therefore isn't quite the system he's looking for.

Linus Sebastian had a chance to play with the new LG 34UM95, and although he seems to start as a skeptic (after all, how really useful can a 21:9 display be right?) he ended up his review fully converted, with no going back. We still think that pro graphic users will not rush to switch over their EIZOs and NECs for this baby, but video editors, gamers, programmers and basically anybody who loves multitasking, might be very tempted — what do you think?"
According to The Wall Street Journal, Google may be planning to commoditze 3-D scanning by building the tech of its Project Tango project (essentially, thus far, a phone-sized handheld with 3-D sensing capabilities) into tablets. The Register speculates: "Given that Google has already announced the Project Tango smartphone, it seems likely that it would extend the technology to tablets, and the seven-inch form factor would tie in nicely with the existing Nexus 7 design. ...Google is hoping that developers can build applications to use the scanning capabilities of the Tango hardware. Suggested topics include providing guides for visually impaired people, building gaming maps based on actual rooms, and possibly augmenting Google Maps with interior details – Street View becoming Home View perhaps?" Setting aside what brand it might bear, how would you employ a portable 3-D scanner?
mrspoonsi (2955715) writes "A breakthrough has been made in SSD technology that could mean drastic performance increases due to the overcoming of one of the major issues in the memory type. Currently, data cannot be directly overwritten onto the NAND chips used in the devices. Files must be written to a clean area of the drive whilst the old area is formatted. This eventually causes fragmented data and lowers the drive's life and performance over time. However, a Japanese team at Chuo University have finally overcome the issue that is as old as the technology itself. Officially unveiled at the 2014 IEEE International Memory Workshop in Taipei, the researchers have written a brand new middleware for the drives that controls how the data is written to and stored on the device. Their new version utilizes what they call a 'logical block address scrambler' which effectively prevents data being written to a new 'page' on the device unless it is absolutely required. Instead, it is placed in a block to be erased and consolidated in the next sweep. This means significantly less behind-the-scenes file copying that results in increased performance from idle."
MojoKid (1002251) writes "The PC market is changing rapidly as tablets supplant some laptops, new players such as the Chromebook disrupt the old WIntel model, and innovations in processors and graphics allow for ever-smaller PCs such as Intel's NUC (Next Unit of Computing) PC. Gigabyte recently introduced a rather unique product that combines the tiny 4.5-inch square form factor of Intel's NUC PC platform together with a mini DLP projector. The Gigabyte Brix Projector measures 4.24 x 4.5 x 1.93 inches (WxLxD) but manages to fit in an Intel Core i3-4010U (1.7GHz) processor with built-in Intel HD 4400 graphics and support for up to 16GB of 1600MHz RAM. Finally, an mSATA slot inside the chassis also supports up to a 256GB SSD. The system's DLP (LED backlight) projector itself offers a resolution of 864x480 with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a purported image size of 7 to 85 inches. It promises 75 ANSI lumen brightness, a contrast ratio of around 900:1, and 3LED (RGB) technology. It's not an HD setup but the potential use cases are interesting. A follow-on version capable of 1080p output would be even more useful for gaming and HD video."
cartechboy writes: "Automakers are scrambling to increase vehicle fuel economy every year as regulations increase, so when an automaker finds a way to possibly increase fuel economy by 10 percent with one new part, that gets some attention. Today that automaker is Toyota, and the part is a new semiconductor. Toyota's power control units (PCU) in its hybrids use semiconductors to govern the flow of electricity between the battery and the electric motor. Unfortunately, they're also an electrically restrictive component. Toyota says the PCU accounts for a quarter of the total electrical power losses in a hybrid drive system, and semiconductors alone make up a full fifth of the total. Reduce electrical losses through a semiconductor, and you can make your hybrid system (and therefore your car) more efficient. Toyota has done this, in theory at least, using a new silicon carbide material for its semiconductors, rather than a standard silicon unit. The future could be shaped by individual parts, and this new semiconductor tech is one piece of that puzzle."
An anonymous reader writes "Engadget reports that Samsung is working on virtual reality technology to compete with the Oculus Rift. Their work is fairly far along, and it's expected to be announced this year. It's being built to function in tandem with Samsung's flagship mobile devices, most likely their upcoming Galaxy phones and tablets. From the article: 'We're told it has an OLED screen, as good or better than in the second Rift dev kit; it's not clear how the headset connects to your phone/tablet, but we're guessing it's a wired connection rather than wireless. ...This is a device meant for use with games. What type of games? Android games! Sure, but which ones? That's certainly the question. Great games make the platform, and VR games are especially tough to crack given the newness of the medium. One thing's for sure: most major games won't work on VR as direct ports.' The report also suggests Samsung is targeting a lower price point than its competitors. True or not, it will hopefully help drive down prices for all upcoming VR tech." Meanwhile, DARPA is experimenting with the Oculus Rift for cyberwar visualization.

'If Australia has – as we do – the safest remote locations for storing the world's nuclear waste, we have a responsibility to make those sites available for this purpose,' he said. Hawke based this conclusion on a 25-year-old report made by Ralph Slayter, whom the former prime minister appointed as Australia's first chief scientist back in 1989. According to Slayter's report, some of the remote reaches of the Northern Territory and Western Australia could provide apt dumping grounds for radioactive waste."
When I bumped into Abram Thau at Metrix Createspace in Seattle's Capitol Hill, he showed me a few printed figurines, including a Storm Trooper (of the Star Wars variety), and I thought at first that he had printed them as duplicates of similar-sized commercial products. Not so: It turns out these are made-from-life, specifically from cos-players who have stood on Abram's human-suitable turntable (powered by a chicken rotisserie motor hooked to a 3-D printed pulley) while he scanned them in. Thau's apartment is practically shouting distance from Metrix, but that pulley was made on a large Deltabot filament printer in the corner of his living room. (A living room usefully cluttered with tools, bottles of resin, projectors in various states of repair, and more printed objects.) More interesting still, Thau's figurines are produced with a home-built resin printer. Resin is messier to work with than the filament feedstock of RepRap/Makerbot style printers (and the resin itself has a slight odor), but it allows different results. Overhanging pieces are possible without requiring elaborate support pieces built into the mesh, and the resulting product can be noticeably smoother than typical filament printing, though all 3-D printing techniques are getting better. Thau didn't buy one of the commercially available resin printers, though (like FormLabs's), but instead decided to build his own out of scavenged and off-the-shelf components. Budget concerns and improvisation rule the day (Thau is also a grad student, studying to be a middle school teacher): That means there's a book holding up the projector which is vital to curing the resin, and the printer's case is recycled from a previous one. The results look as good as the affordable commercial ones I've seen, and he's excited to teach others to make their own. Third-party resin makers and a robust market in used projectors mean that other hobbyists can follow his lead and turn their friends into figurines. (Alternate video link)

First time accepted submitter steam_cannon (1881500) writes "The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA.gov) is planning to release a major 96% reserve downgrade to the amount of oil and gas recoverable from the Monterey Shale formation, one of the largest oil/gas reserves in the United States. After several years of intensified exploration the Monterey oil shale play seems to have much less recoverable oil and gas then previously hoped. This is due to multiple factors such as the more complex rippled geology of the shale and over-hyped recovery estimates by investors. By official estimates the Monterey Shale formation makes up 2/3 of the shale reserves in the US and by some estimates 1/3 of all crude reserves in the US. Not a drop in the bucket. Next Month the EIA.gov will be announcing cutting it's estimates for Monterey by 96%. That's a huge blow to the US energy portfolio, trillions of dollars, oil and gas the US might have used for itself or exported. Presently the White House is evaluating making changes to US oil export restrictions so this downgrade may result in changes to US energy policy. As well as have a significant impact on US economy and the economy of California."
bauhausinteraction writes "A team from the Bauhaus-University and Native Instruments Developers built and programmed a fully functional interactive Lego Sequencer / Tangible Groove Machine that sends control data to the Maschine drum sequencer to make music. The thing was built within 24 hours as an unofficial weekend collaboration between bauhausinteraction and NI at the MidiHack 2014 in Stockholm. A standard webcam is mounted underneath the baseplate. The image is processed by a Python Script using the OpenCV Library to track the bricks. The tricky bit was to not track the user's hand, but we succeeded at that as well.
The information about brick color, position, and orientation is derived from the image and then converted into OpenSoundControl (OSC) messages. Those are sent over a network connection to a computer running Native Instruments Maschine to play back the sounds. Of course, this would work with other sound generators as well, since the whole thing simply spits out OSC-Messages and MIDI — but hey: if the guys from Native are there, you'd better use their Maschine stuff. Being real Masterbuilders, of course we used only unmodified, standard Lego Parts and no Kragle* for the construction. (*see the Lego Movie for reference.)"

That's my conclusion, at least, after a story I wrote Popular Science got some attention—it asked whether a robotic car should kill its owner, if it means saving two strangers. The most common dismissals of the piece claimed that robo-cars should simply follow Asimov's First Law, or that robo-cars would never crash into each other. These perspectives are more than wrong-headed—they ignore the inherent complexity and fallibility of real robots, for whom failure is inevitable. Here's my follow-up story, about why most of our discussion of robots is based on make-believe, starting with the myth of robotic hyper-competence."
An anonymous reader writes "Wired has an in-depth report on the development of the Oculus Rift, telling the story of the tech and its creators from conception to present. Quoting: 'That's because Oculus has found a way to make a headset that does more than just hang a big screen in front of your face. By combining stereoscopic 3-D, 360-degree visuals, and a wide field of view—along with a supersize dose of engineering and software magic—it hacks your visual cortex. As far as your brain is concerned, there's no difference between experiencing something on the Rift and experiencing it in the real world. "This is the first time that we've succeeded in stimulating parts of the human visual system directly," says Abrash, the Valve engineer. "I don't get vertigo when I watch a video of the Grand Canyon on TV, but I do when I stand on a ledge in VR." ... The hardware problems have been solved, the production lines are almost open, and the Rift will be here soon. After that it's anybody's guess. "I've written 2 million lines of code over the past 20 years, and now I'm starting from a blank page," Carmack says. "But the sense that I'm helping build the future right now is palpable."'"
KentuckyFC (1144503) writes "The study of proteins has become one of the hottest topics in science in the last 20 years, and not just for biologists. Researchers have been measuring the electrical properties of proteins for some time, discovering that some of them act like switches in certain circumstances. That's potentially useful but without a robust theoretical model of how these properties arise, nobody has been able to incorporate proteins into real devices. Now electronics engineers have developed the first model that reliably describes the real electrical behaviour of proteins and how it changes when they bond to other molecules. It even predicts the behaviour in new situations. That should make it possible to use proteins in the same way as other electronic components such as transistors, diodes and so on. That's leading to an entirely new field of science called proteotronics in which proteins work seamlessly with other components in electronic devices. First up, an electronic nose based on the olfactory receptor OR-17, a protein found in rats, which behaves like an electronic switch when it detects the presence of aldehydes such as octanal."
Luminary Crush (109477) writes "To date, the bulk of fusion research has been channelled towards a plasma containment and stabilization method. This is the approach used by ITER's tokamak reactor, the cost of which could exceed US$13.7 billion before it's online in the year 2027 (barring further delays). Researchers at LPP Fusion, in a project partially financed by NASA-JPL, are working in a different direction: focus fusion, which focuses the plasma in a very small area to produce fusion and an ion beam which could then be harnessed to produce electricity. It is small enough to fit in a shipping container, can double as a rocket engine, and would cost US$50 million to produce the working 5 MW prototype. To reach the next hurdle and demonstrate feasibility, LPP Fusion has started an Indiegogo campaign to raise $200K."
mdsolar (1045926) writes with news that global warming may make it more difficult to use modern power sources that rely upon being near large bodies of water for cooling. From the article: "During the 1970s and 1980s, when many nuclear reactors were first built, most operators estimated that seas would rise at a slow, constant rate. ... But the seas are now rising much faster than they did in the past ... Sea levels rose an average of 8 inches between 1880 and 2009, or about 0.06 inches per year. But in the last 20 years, sea levels have risen an average of 0.13 inches per year... NOAA) has laid out four different projections for estimated sea level rise by 2100. Even the agency's best-case scenario assumes that sea levels will rise at least 8.4 inches by the end of this century. NOAA's worst-case scenario, meanwhile, predicts that the oceans will rise nearly 7 feet in the next 86 years. But most nuclear power facilities were built well before scientists understood just how high sea levels might rise in the future. And for power plants, the most serious threat is likely to come from surges during storms. Higher sea levels mean that flooding will travel farther inland, creating potential hazards in areas that may have previously been considered safe." The article has charts comparing the current elevation of various plants with their estimated elevations under the various NOAA sea level rise estimates.
An anonymous reader writes "Just when people got used to good smartphones costing $200 with a 2-year contract, they also started to realize that those 2-year contracts were bad news. Still, it's often more palatable than fronting $600 for good, new hardware. But that's starting to change. Cell phone internals are getting cheap enough that prices for capable devices have been creeping downward below $200 without a contract. We ran into something similar with the PC industry some years back — previous-gen chips had no trouble running next-gen software (excluding games with bleeding-edge graphics), and so the impetus to keep getting the latest-and-greatest hardware disappeared for a lot of people. That revolution is underway now for smartphones, and it's going to shake things up for everybody, including Apple and Samsung. But the biggest effects will be felt in the developing world: '[F]or a vast number of people in a vast number of countries, the cheap handset will be the first screen, and the only screen. Their primary interface with the world. A way of connecting to the Internet where there are no telephone lines or coaxial cables or even electricity. In nations without subsidized cell phone contracts or access to consumer credit, the $50-and-you-own-it handset is going to be transformative.'"
An anonymous reader writes "The Tux3 file-system that's been in development since 2008 as the public replacement to the patent-blocked Tux2 file-system is now under review for inclusion into the Linux kernel. Tux3 tries to act as a 'light, tight, modern file-system. We offer a fresh approach to some ancient problems,' according to its lead developer, Daniel Phillips. Tux3 strives for minimal resource consumption but lacks enterprise-grade reliability at this point. Tux3, at the end of the day, tries to be 'robust, fast, and simple' with the Linux FS reportedly being as fast as other well known file-systems. Details on the project are at Tux3.org."
An anonymous reader writes "It's a common trope in sci-fi that when AIs become complex enough to have some form of consciousness, humans will be able to communicate with them through speech. But the rate at which we transmit and analyze data is infinitesimal compared to how fast a computer can do it. Would they even want to bother? Jeff Atwood takes a look at how a computer's timescale breaks down, and relates it to human timeframes. It's interesting to note the huge variance in latency. If we consider one CPU cycle to take 1 second, then a sending a ping across the U.S. would take the equivalent of 4 years. A simple conversation could take the equivalent of thousands of years. Would any consciousness be able to deal with such a relative delay?"
coondoggie writes: "The U.S. Office of Naval Research this week offered a $7.5m grant to university researchers to develop robots with autonomous moral reasoning ability. While the idea of robots making their own ethical decisions smacks of SkyNet — the science-fiction artificial intelligence system featured prominently in the Terminator films — the Navy says that it envisions such systems having extensive use in first-response, search-and-rescue missions, or medical applications. One possible scenario: 'A robot medic responsible for helping wounded soldiers is ordered to transport urgently needed medication to a nearby field hospital. En route, it encounters a Marine with a fractured leg. Should the robot abort the mission to assist the injured? Will it? If the machine stops, a new set of questions arises. The robot assesses the soldier's physical state and determines that unless it applies traction, internal bleeding in the soldier's thigh could prove fatal. However, applying traction will cause intense pain. Is the robot morally permitted to cause the soldier pain, even if it's for the soldier's well-being?'"
jfruh writes: "AMD has never been able to match Intel for profits or scale, but a decade ago it was in front on innovation — the first to 1GHz, the first to 64-bit, the first to dual core. A lack of capital has kept the company barely holding on with cheap mid-range chips since; but now AMD is flush with cash from its profitable business with gaming consoles, and is preparing an ambitious new architecture for 2016, one that's distinct from the x86/ARM hybrid already announced."
First time accepted submitter Dufflepod (3656815) writes "After yet another hardware purchase last week, I realized with some alarm just how drastically an enterprising burglar could increase the crapulence quotient of my life if they ever made off with my hardware. The house is alarmed, but much to my annoyance it isn't always set when people go out for any length of time. Ideally I want to 'alarm' the expensive items among my various PCs, UPS, NAS box, test equipment, and some of the sundry other gadgets & gizmos I require to stroke my inner geek. Over the past few days I have spent hours Googling for every combination of "anti-theft perimeter alarm radius motion detector vibration wireless" etc etc.. I have found various possible solutions, though the cost of some of them does make my eyes water (eg SonicShock @ €150/box). Has anyone out there decided to bite-the-bullet and protect their kit with decent alarms, and do you have any suggested 'do's & don'ts'?" So how would you secure valuable items, as opposed to securing the entire place?

The manufacturer known for the massive A380 jetliner began testing this small experimental aircraft last week, with the ultimate aim of lowering the huge carbon dioxide emissions from commercial flights. The E-FAN is powered by 120 lithium-polymer batteries, and can fly at speeds up to 136mph. Measuring just 19 feet from nose to tail, the compact aircraft show that Airbus probably isn't ready for commercial zero emissions flight just yet, but it does highlight the potential benefits."

Albinobeach Live Review Tonys
March 10, 2010 – 10:42 by quattro quadriAfter a long wait, out of nowhere, I recieved an invitation in my inbox from Albinobeach.
I first discovered this band at a show at Carfax sometime last year, I was amazed at the power and beauty that this trio unleashed on the audience that night. Then poof! the band seemed to disappear as soon as they where beginning to make waves. I thought they had broken up, yet another casualty of our difficult music industry
Thankfully I was mistaken, the band just took a break to do some new stuff.
As soon as i arrived the band started, for those who dont know, Albinobeach are instrumental. There was no doubt in my mind from the opening notes that we were in for an interesting ride, the spine chilling sounds that the guitarist began weaving through his instrument had everybody fixated to the stage, the band joined and we were off.
The band began gently with a strange eastern guitar driven piece accompanied by simple old fashioned visuals of some kind of light experiment, the song ebbed and flowed emersing you in its watery layered textures before subtly building into a frienzied barrage of intricate progressive rock. To be honest with you the rest of the performance was a blur, this band manages to put you on their level whether you want to be or not. Im not sure if the band even know where they are half the time, enjoying the experience more as a spectator than a performer. The drummer never opens his eyes, its like he's gone, floating in the music, we all felt the same.
Its difficult to categorise this band, I suppose you could call them post rock, of which im a huge fan, but it goes deeper than that, they seemed to have transcended many musical barriers and even genres that can't be defined. You need an open mind to enjoy this band or let me rephrase that, the door to your mind needs to be left just a little open, Albinobeach will do the rest.
I felt dizzy and exhausted after the show, they were very loud, but it worked, I didnt want to hear anything more once they were done.
Having not heard a lot of their old material, I cant compare the new stuff to the old, what ever it was that I saw and heard on saturday it will stay with me for a long time. For those of you who like me had heard a lot of rumors as to the musical genius that is Albinobeach, it has to be seen to be believed…Lets hope they don't go disappearing again, this country needs music like this.

Rated 4 out of 5 Great, but handsfree is better
You have to buy a handsfree bra in order to use this, which is ~$40, so I recommend, just buy the handsfree pump for the beginning. Being handsfree while pumping is absolutely necessary!

Rated 4 out of 5 by pizzalover A must have for a working nursing mom!
I used my Medela Pump in Style with both of my kids with great success. I was able to breast feed excessively through their first birthday while working full time, which was my goal. I will say that with my second child it seemed like toward the end the pump wasn't as strong. Maybe it was wearing out after being used multiple times a day through two kids? Not sure. Maybe it was just me too. But overall, it was easy to use, needed replacement parts were easy to get, and it worked well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by RyansMom8 Must Have for Working Moms
While it is not always ideal to have to be nursing and back at work, this pump makes the process so much easier. The cooler located in the bag is perfect, and the tote's bigger size allows you to stuff in extra parts. Three recommendations...if you need the battery pack, keep lots of extras on hand. It requires 8 but I found it drains them pretty quickly. I would also recommend buying extra Medela bottles to pump into. Even though I was using the Playtex system, I found it easier at work to use the bottles and then dump them into my own freezer system when I got home. The Medela wipes were also a must for me...as it made it easier not to run back and forth to the sink with all the parts (for work) while the steam bags were great for home. Highly recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chellins Great for the working mom
This is great and made it possible to breast feed past the one year mark. Excellent pump, I will be using it again when my next baby arrives in a couple months.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rehanna My Medela saved me !
Out of everything we bought for the birth of our little baby I consider the breast pump the best thing we ever purchased. My baby had a very hard time latching on (in fact she never latched on!) that our lactation consultant suggested this breast pump and OMG it was such a life saver! I pumped at least 3~5 times a day for 3 months and my baby got her breast milk! I HIGHLY recommend this pump for new mother. Please it will save your life !

Rated 5 out of 5 by moonrose2715 Love this pump
Although I have the backpack version (not the tote version) I love this pump. It was relatively quiet and super easy to use. I definitely recommend getting a hands-free bra to use with it, since I typically needed to do a little massage to get my best production, or needed to entertain my baby. I had severe supply issues and ended up pumping a great deal more than planned or expected. I also had a hospital grade pump for a couple of months. I found that the Pump-In-Style worked just as well as the hospital grade pump did. Also, it is very easy to take on the go. I could easily load up everything I needed in my bag, including pesonal items, and carry it as my "purse". It is worth every penny to invest in a good pump.

(1 Question : 1 Answer)
See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
I noticed that the Medela Pump in Style requires 8 AA batteries. Generally, how long can you pump for before needing to replace them?Answers
Medela's Pump in Style Advanced On-the-Go pump may be operated with a battery pack that uses 8 AA alkaline batteries, or, for more consistent pump performance, use rechargeable batteries. Each set of batteries will provide approximately 2 hours of pumping time. It is recommended that batteries be replaced or recharged between the 10th and 12th pumping session.1 of 1

The real reason Carlos Gomez doesn't play
milwaukee brewers August 31st, 2010
Yesterday for the fifth straight game Carlos Gomez was not in the starting lineup for the Milwaukee Brewers. There are many theories as to why this is. Some point to his comments about Lorenzo Cain when he said:
"I'm the best centerfielder on the team. But Lorenzo is doing a really good job for the last two weeks and it's not fair for me to come off the DL and take his chance. I understand. He is a really good player, but I think I'm still the man on this team."
That would make sense. Others simply point to his horrendous .229/.286/.348 line and compare them to... anybody and it makes perfect sense why he's not been playing.
The debate as to whether Gomez should or shouldn't play, or should or shouldn't be re-signed is something that has been discussed heavily in the Brewer community over the past few weeks. However, it's hard to discuss these sorts of things if you don't know all of the facts.
Luckily, we have all the facts. Luckily, we have sources within the Brewers to let us know why certain things happen. We know why Carlos Gomez hasn't been playing and lucky for you we're not above betraying our sources to tell you why. Read the rest of this entry »
