SMART-1 hits the Moon
LUNAR FLASH: As planned, Europe's SMART-1 spacecraft crashed into the Moon this morning, Sept. 3rd, at 0542 UT. The resulting flash was too faint for most backyard telescopes, but a team of astronomers using the big 3.6m CFHT telescope in Hawaii did manage to photograph the explosion.

Good Samaritans carry injured dog to safety after gorge fall
POSTED: Saturday, June 30, 2012 - 3:00am
UPDATED: Sunday, July 1, 2012 - 2:33pm
NATIONAL NEWS (CNN) — A dog that tumbled hundreds of feet off a cliff in the Columbia River Gorge is recovering at a pet hospital this week.
Amanda Reese and her dog, Bodie, were hiking the Eagle Creek trail Monday when the dog stepped too close to the edge and fell.
Fortunately, Reese said, other hikers helped her find Bodie and get him to safety. And that's no small feat - Bodie is a 100-pound Alaskan Malamute.
Reese said one of the Good Samaritans happened to have a hammock, so they made it into a sling and used it to carry the dog out of the woods.
"I couldn't have gone on and enjoyed myself or felt good about my time there if I didn't help," said Josiah Martens, one of the Good Samaritans who helped Reese. "I have a soft spot for dogs."
It took two hours, but the group carried Bodie to a trail where a search-and-rescue team took him the rest of the way.
Bodie must stay in the hospital until he can walk, but doctors are hopeful he will make a full recovery.
"He's been really strong," Reese said. "It's amazing he survived and he weathered his injuries pretty well."

As a result, Balaton wine is the equivalent of comfort food to many Hungarians—one reason it continues to thrive domestically even as the wider world's viticultural bounty floods the country. Another reason is Hungary's cuisine: rich and heavy, spiced with paprika, utterly unsuited to bottlings in the ultra-ripe international style. Balaton's wines cut through that spice and fat, refreshing the mouth with their bright acidity but also adding a measure of complexity that emanates from the strong minerality of the soil.
Unable to speak the language, I've asked a former Balaton winemaker, László Gerwald, to be my guide. From 1976 to 1993—when the state-run winery disbanded—he was vice president of production for the northern part of the region, supervising an annual output of 2 billion liters of wine, nearly all of which went to lubricate palates throughout the Soviet Bloc. He stands before me in the hotel parking lot, a massive man with a handlebar mustache and a cell phone that crows like a rooster.
I follow Gerwald's late-model SUV over a rock-strewn road, past tidy cottages and what seem to be empty fields, to a winery owned by Mihály Figula, a prominent Balaton vintner who has an intimate knowledge of local viticultural history. We park in a gravel lot, where a pig is being roasted for a celebratory meal. "The guest will be Péter Esterházy, the famous writer," says Figula, who greets us at our cars. Wiry and animated, he has a mop of Harpo Marx hair, colored snow-white. His winery is just over a decade old, he says, but it is built on the site of a far older one, and in the same style. That building over there?Almost new. But the one just past it?From 1773. And that's nothing compared to his vineyard, where grapes have been growing steadily for 2,000 years.
In the early 1990's, Figula traveled to the Napa Valley, where he visited 50 wineries. He found them fascinating, decades ahead of the Hungarian industry at the time. "And yet, I felt that all the wines there tasted the same," he says. This remark gives me hope. On his estate, he grows 12 varieties of grapes, some international, some Hungaricum. He ships his wines to nine countries. "The farther away they are, the more they want Hungarian wines," he says. Former Eastern Bloc nations order Riesling and Pinot Gris, wines made from Western grapes that offer tangible evidence of what these countries see as their own increased sophistication. But consumers in Asia, he says, are seeking different flavors from unusual wines that they can't find anywhere else.
So am I, I tell him, as we sit down to taste. We try Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, grape varieties I know well. The wines are terrific—brimming with acidity and a stripe of minerality, reminiscent of a good Chablis—but all too familiar. Hours pass. Gerwald and Figula engage in long conversations in Hungarian, a language that bears no similarity to any of the tongues I might possibly know. (Its only linguistic relatives are Finnish and Estonian, which makes me feel better about not grasping a single word.)
Finally, I plead to taste his Hungaricum. He has only one, it turns out—most of his indigenous grapes are used for blending with better-known varieties—and he isn't eager for me to try it. "It is for entry-level wine drinkers," he says. "Not nearly as complex as my more expensive wines." The grape is called Zenit, a cross between Ezerjo and Bouvier created in the 1950's by the Hungarian viticulturist Ferenc Kiraly. With apologies all around, Figula pours the wine. "I've never had anyone else's Zenit I liked at all," he says. "And mine is... well, you'll see."
It isn't his best wine, but it is his most interesting. Zenit tastes slightly sweet, with a flavor that reminds me of lychee nuts. It has almost no mouthfeel, all but disappearing on the tongue, yet I'm intrigued. I pour myself a second glass as Figula looks on disapprovingly, as if he expected better taste from me. "I don't see much possibility in this wine," he says. "It's simple, it's drinkable. Why make any more out of it than that?"
He's right. But now I'm more determined than ever to find the true Hungaricum. I've caught a glimpse of the rabbit, and I'm off and running. At lunch with Gerwald in a restaurant that seems like a throwback to the institutional sixties, from the blank expression on the waiter's face to the paucity of food selection, I insist on ordering a red Cabernet FrancZweigelt blend from the nearby Tihany Peninsula. It isn't Hungaricum, but it is an offbeat combination I've never encountered. The wine tastes like a barely passable effort from a country that doesn't typically make wine, the kind I sample far too often at trade fairs. I half expect someone to walk up and say, "Pretty good for a Filipino Merlot, no?"
"This wine is awful," I say.
Gerwald doesn't blink. "How's your soup?"
"Quite good."
He smiles. "One for two. Not bad for the first day."
That night, I set out from my hotel for Tihany, five miles away. I drive down a road edged by birch trees, the product of a planting initiative in the 1950's, then into the cover of forest so dark as to seem sepia-toned in the night. With each mile I feel as if I'm falling further back in time: through the bleak years of the Kádár dictatorship to World War II, when Soviet troops marched down just this type of blacktopped road under hooded trees—at least in the movies I've seen. Soon I'm on the cusp of another century, when grapes were transported from the vineyards in horse-drawn carts.

Over one month ago, while at the Huff Street Kwik Trip, I was reading an article in the Rochester Post Bulletin. It concerned a busy nurse in a hospice setting in a hospital. One patient, very near death, asked her to hold his hand for awhile. She had rounds to make and promised to return. By the time she returned to his room, he had passed.
His arms were outstretched. She assumed his arms outstretched were for her. A more plausible explanation, given she hadnt returned, would be loved ones who have preceded him have come to bring him home. I strongly believe people in those situations (near death) are given the gift of sight, to see beyond the veil.
This happened to a friend/supervisor of mine from a previous job. As told me by his wife who was present when he passed. Living family members are unable to see what they see.
Noted author/neurologist Dr. Eben Alexander was on NPR recently discussing NDEs in general, and those he experienced while in the hospital in a coma. He wrote a book, which Ive read and highly recommend, on that topic. He firmly stated in that book and on NPR, that his experiences while in a coma were not from any medical induced cause in the brain. Knowing the brain well, he knew what he saw was otherworldly in origin.
Perhaps some of you saw the recent edition of CNN with Anderson Cooper entitled To Heaven and Back. That was fascinating and held my attention. One hour long. Three individuals were highlighted. They described in detail their experiences from the incident/illness that began their journey, to the completion. It totally changed their lives/attitudes. They were given a second chance.
One had drowned but came back. Another had cancer (terminal), which she said had origins beyond the physical, but was shown, made to understand, an emotional connection played a part. Doctors were baffled when she came to and the cancer went into remission. Plus she had more tasks to complete yet.
Whatever the outcome in ones life, during health problems, I strongly believe in the afterlife.

Outdoor Technology DJ Slims - Wireless Bluetooth DJ Headphones

Mike Cushing
Great buy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are the first headphones I've purchased that are Bluetooth, and I won't go back. I've used these for a couple months now and they keep getting better and better. They are comfortable, have a long battery life, and the mic is good quality. They can take a beating without breaking, which is also a huge plus. The only thing I'm not too crazy about is the sound quality. It's good, but not great by any stretch of the word. I still give these five stars because you're still getting a great headphone for a good price. If you're looking for incredible sound quality, you might want to try something different.
Great: Cheap & light till they break
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these headphones. They are cheap, have good battery life, decent sound and phone microphone. As an active wheelchair user these things are indispensable. Imagine not being able to walk and talk at the same time... that's life in a chair (where your hands are needed to move about) until getting a good handsfree bluetooth device. DJ slims are a perfect way to rock out or be able to answer a phone call and talk on the phone with ease while our hands are full. I love these guys while they're functioning, but I have found that they tend to break down and eventually get internal electrical shorts that can: make it hard / impossible to get them to charge (lots of wiggling the cord), can loose audio to once side, can turn off, etc. I am currently filling out a warranty claim to get them replaced for the 2nd time ...but at this cheapish price and with a one year warranty...its still a good deal, even if you need to replace them intermittently.

Forget all the fancy nancy headphones out there. I'm going on two years with these and they just don't quit. I use them at night with my computer/tablet to keep noise down for others. I'm snowboarded COUNTLESS days with them. I've been rained on, gotten them soaking wet, dropped them, abused them, used them...and they keep going...they're currently on my head playing some mad Kesha...but we're not here to judge.
do these fit under a snowboard helmet
do these fit under a snowboard helmet
David Thiel
I would bet against it... and if they did, I'm guessing the helmet doesn't fit.
False! These are so sleek I'm able to fit them under my Bern Watts and Baker with ease...It works best without the button on liner but I've used it both ways with ease. But if you want a better solution, order an audio helmet from BC and order the USB adapter also made my Outdoor Technologies.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Awsome love em, have two pairs now. they are great for whats on the market today. could go louder and last longer on a battery but thats what the futures for. i get about six hours off em at max volume and they do great in the cold snowboarding. finally no cables

Fit & Functionality with Bluetooth Tech
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Only great things to say about these wireless headphones.
Very good quality sound for non-noise cancelling headphones, even in noise-filled environments they still perform adequately. I'm probably most impressed by their ability to handle simple phone calls. The mic must be something special because I get more complaints from talking on standard iphone headphones than these.
I wear these when I'm washing dishes, walking the dog, or anything else where cords may get tangled. One overnight charge and you can use them on and off for 2-3 days. I have a smaller sized head and unless I'm doing some inverted yoga or tumbling, they always stay on.

Gotta say these headphones are pretty badass. I like them so much, i got all three colors. Only downside, gets a little annoying when your battery is getting low and it constantly reminds you with a soft beep while listening... so just keep these badboys charged and you'll be set!
Go wireless!
Purchased this item for myself since I wanted to get rid of some cords in my setup. These headphones are great! The bluetooth works really well and I'm able to roam about the house without worrying about the music cutting off. The headphones has decent bass output and the sound leak is not that loud.
Must Get
Definitely ideal for travel. Lightweight, no chords bugging you and sound quality is great. very comfortable and easy to store and very durable. The only downside is the fact that these have a small blue light on the right side that is actually quite bright so if you are on a plane in the dark it might really annoy your neighbor. That is the only thing I did not like, but overall great headphones and for the price these are top of the line.
Quick question before buying:

Quick question before buying:
Do these headphones cause ears to over heat, sweat and feel discomfort?
I would be using these for walking/running and would prefer my ears to breathe.

Thank you.
Freddie A.
They don't cup your ears like regular over the headphones. They will allow moisture to move and your ears to breath. They are great!

These babies rock!
Outdoor Technology DJ Slims headphones are the best bluetooth headphones on the market in sound and durability. Def my fav by far! I take them everywhere even on the mountain. They still work in freezing weather covered by snow and ice.

I ordered athis head set from you and it came with out any way to charge it. I saw on another site that it has a usb cord for charging. How can I obtain one for mine?
Sam Furner
Best Bluetooth headsets out there.
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Sound Great
- Charge lasts for days with heavy use
(8+ hours of contiguous use)
- Comfortable for Extended Use
- Connect to ANY Bluetooth device
- No tangled wires
- Slim and stylish
- Convenient controls
- Constant flashing light annoying in the dark
(get the Black if you find this annoying as it's less prominent on this model)
- No Low level battery indicator
(Only a audible warning 2-3 mins before
power is lost)
- Charge takes 3 hours
- Charger Cable isn't a common cable like a micro usb
- Powering them on and off requires a LONG 6+ second button hold
All that said I have purchased 4 of these, 1 for myself and 3 as gifts. I love these and in spite of it's short comings are hands down the best Bluetooth headsets out there.
I use them to listen to music, audio books and phone calls.

Great review, thanks for the thought and time you put into this.
no complaints what so ever!
These things are the shit, my brother wants them my friend bought some, my moms friend wants some and i got some for my gf for christmas

Things are getting beyond ridiculous.
The NYC Department of Education was fifty words banned from students standardized tests, calling them "forbidden." Seriously.
Read the article here.
Whatever happened to freedom of speech? What has happened to education? Are we so politically correct, tiptoeing around on eggshells that teachers can't even teach? Really? I thought I lived in America, the land of the free and home of the brave. Now, this morning, I read that we want not to be able to teach children WORDS.
That's the most half-assed backward thing I've heard this morning.
I hear children, teens and even adults using non-words like "conversate" and "hotness" and I cringe each time. Sometimes I can't keep my mouth shut and try to tell them that the words are actually "converse" and "heat" but no one listens. This is the result of a poor education.
Did I mention the word "dinosaur" is one of the so-called "forbidden" words. Why? Because it might offend Creationists. Um, I guess teachers can't take students to a museum to see dinosaur bones either. This is stupid. The word "poverty" is another of the proposed banned words. I was brought up to believe there was no shame in being poor as long I was clean, honest and minded my manners. Now the very word that describes a common state in this economy is something to ban? Ridiculous.
Words are important. Words are powerful. Words need to be learned. We also need to teach how they should not be abused. My feeling is that if a person knows a word, knows what it means, they can CHOOSE to use it or not. That's right folks – hey can choose.
People died fighting for the right for us to have the freedom of speech. Other people in other countries don't have that and they fight incredible odds to come here in order to be able to speak their mind. With idiotic bans like the one the NYC Dept. of Ed is proposing, people won't have words in their mind to speak.
Instead of fighting words, let's fight ignorance.

Elementary! 'Sherlock Holmes: A Drinking Game of Shadows'
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on June 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentTwo and a half years ago, Guy Ritchie revived the classic Sherlock Holmes stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, starring Iron Man himself as the eccentric detective. This past Christmas, he also directed the sequel of the film, in the wake of the BBC's brilliant Sherlock series. Now that sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is available on Blu-ray and DVD. Whether you like these new films or you prefer the BBC show, you can enjoy the new movie with this drinking game of shadows. Of course, if you want to start things off right, you can also enjoy Guy Ritchie's original Sherlock Holmes with a few drinks here. Though we don't recommend using formaldehyde as your spirit of choice, as Holmes does in the movie. That would kill you dead faster than Lucy Liu's upcoming Elementary television series.
This Week In DVD: Criterion, More Sherlock Holmes, TV Shows That Begin With 'E' and an Inexplicable Vincent D'Onofrio Joint
Features By Rob Hunter on June 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In DVD! Lots of titles to choose from today in all three categories including two brilliant Criterion releases, the second Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes film, a Dutch family film that stars a frequently naked lady from Game of Thrones, and a mixed bag of direct to DVD releases. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Accident Ho Kwok-fai (Louis Koo) is the brains behind a four-person team of assassins who specialize in making their hits look like accidents, but when one of their own is killed in an accident not of their making he suspects the team is being targeted. Johnnie To produced this dark little gem that teases a couple well choreographed action scenes but focuses instead on suspense and feelings of paranoia, loss and suspicion. It's a sharp thriller that surprises more than once throughout its short running time, and it marks director Soi Cheang as a director unafraid to go against the usual stylized Hong Kong action grain. Some of the choreographed accidents are incredibly precise and seem to rely on an awful amount of luck, but they are professionals after all. Shout! Factory's first foray into Asian cinema is a winner.
Box Office: 'The Devil Inside' Kicks The New Year Off With a Scare
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on January 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentApparently sometimes you can't go back to that well too many times. Despite critics claiming it's filled with the same old stuff, audiences weren't scared enough to avoid The Devil Inside this weekend. In fact, not only did the film hit at #1, it's generated the third biggest opening in January history behind Cloverfield ($40m in 2008) and Star Wars Special Edition ($35.9m in 1997). The Devil Inside showed a huge upturn in box office for exorcism movies, shadowing recent films like The Rite ($14.7m opening weekend) and The Last Exorcism ($20.3m opening weekend), both of which were PG-13 films. The Devil Inside was struck with an R rating. But we shouldn't look to that for the reasoning behind such a lucrative opening. Instead, we have to look at the film's ending. More so, we have to look at the buzz that was generated late last week because of The Devil Inside's ending. Test audiences were angry. Some even booed and yelled expletives at the screen when the film ended. A lot of this buzz came late Thursday night, and people who weren't planning to see the movie may have changed their mind just to find out what the hell everyone was up in arms about. No, that can't account for all of The Devil Inside's number. Some of that came from fans of the genre who wanted a good scare this weekend, but it had to have been a factor in some capacity. Paramount's decision to shock people more […]

Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: December 16, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on December 16, 2011 | Comments (3)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr goes rogue and infiltrates his local IMAX theater. First, he scales the wall of the plus-sized building and slides in undetected through the air vents. He slowly lowers himself into a theater seat to enjoy an early screening of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Unfortunately, he finds himself in the middle of a wild crowd of six-year-old kids for the early screening of the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. To deal with the psychological damage, Kevin then stumbles into the Sherlock Holmes sequel and later finds an extra seat in Young Adult, where he can imagine that his chubby caboose could land a hottie like Charlize Theron.
The Reject Report: A Game of Dollars
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on December 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIt's December 16th, and the winter blockbuster season is very nearly upon us. This coming weekend sees three huge movies hit, all of which are sure to be box office megastars. Yes, even the chipmunks. One of those films, the one where that one guy from Top Gun runs a whole lot, is only hitting IMAX, so it's day of box office bloodletting will have to wait. In the meantime, Sherlock Holmes and, yes, the chipmunks are going to be taking the box office by storm. Plus, unlike 2009, they won't have any blue aliens to contend with. It's this week's edition of the Reject Report, and this shiz is about to get Chipwrecked.
Review: 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' Is an Elementary Reduction But Still Manages To Find Some Fun
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on December 16, 2011 | Comments (2)Guy Ritchie was far from the most obvious choice to direct a big budget, period action comedy that hoped to turn the Sherlock Holmes name into a 21st century franchise. But half a billion dollars (worldwide) later he found himself the man behind a monster hit… and its inevitable sequel. Two years later, that sequel is now a reality, and the question becomes can Ritchie strike gold twice in a row with another entertaining blockbuster? Or has he delivered the Victorian equivalent of Speed 2: Cruise Control… Depending on how you look at it the answer sits somewhere in between. A Game of Shadows brings back the two major players in Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Watson (Jude Law), but instead of a generic villain with mysterious motivations we get Arthur Conan Doyle's most notorious and evil mastermind pulling the strings and doling out the pain. Ritchie's sequel tries to stick with the first film's mix of stylish camera work, exciting set pieces, and witty banter between its leads, but unfortunately it falters almost as often as it succeeds.
11 Things We Learned at the 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' Press Conference
Features By Kate Erbland on December 15, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows junket included a massive press conference that featured so much talent from the sequel to Guy Ritchie's 2009 film that they needed to be arranged in stadium seating, including stars Robert Downey Jr., Noomi Rapace, and Jared Harris, director Ritchie, producers Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, and Susan Downey, screenwriters Michele Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney, and composer Hans Zimmer. Jude Law couldn't make it because, as RDJ put it, "his son had a soccer game." For forty-five minutes, the group fielded questions from the Los Angeles press (let's be honest, Downey fielded questions from the press, frequently begging for someone to toss a query at one of the nine other people sitting around and behind him), and all the microphone-grabbing and cracks at banter did yield some interesting tidbits. Mainly, a story about Hans Zimmer essentially kidnapping thirteen gypsies, but that's for later. After the break, break out your steampunk-inspired magnifying glasses and try to follow along, Watson, as we investigate the case of the eleven things we learned at the Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows press conference.
This is it: the final month of the year, a.k.a. the month to shell out as much cash as you got at the theaters. December is always the best and worst movie-going time. There's so many damn pictures hitting the screens, and it's the time where everyone's running around, trying to get things done before the New Year. It's wonderful, annoying chaos. This December is different, though. In fact, it's going to be about 100 times more chaotic. Folks, if you plan on seeing all of the good to the "this will be up for Oscars, kid!" movies this month, plan on forking out a lot of dough. This is unquestionably the strongest month for films this year. Without further ado, here are the ones to end the year on a great note with:
Second 'Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows' Trailer Explodes
Movie News By Scott Beggs on October 19, 2011 | Comments (2)Enjoy playing Count The Explosions in the next trailer for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. While there's still a subdued kind of excitement to the proceedings, it's not short on very quick chemical reactions. Hopefully the film will be an improvement on the first. At any rate, Guy Ritchie is raising the stakes by including Moriarty, Holmes's greatest foe, played by Jared Harris. Of course Robert Downey, Jr. is back alongside Jude Law, and while they'll be joined by Noomi Rapace, we'll also apparently see the return of Rachel McAdams to the series. Check it out for yourself:
'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' Trailer
Movie News By Neil Miller on July 12, 2011 | Comments (6)Sherlock Holmes has always been a character steeped in a rich tradition of intellectual wit and gamesmanship. He's a thinker, a strategist and an insane tactician fit to do battle with all the world's most devious antagonists. But to hell with that, as Guy Ritchie is giving us the more explosive, action hero Sherlock Holmes. And while its not a thinking man's game, it sure looks like a hell of a lot of fun. With the first trailer for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, the sequel to the fun, stylish, slow-motiony 2009 Robert Downey Jr. led film, Ritchie and crew lay it all on the line: in this round, Sherlock will be dashing and daring in equal measure, while Watson will continue to be frustrated. The boys are back and I'm betting on fun, so lets take a look at the tape. Also, Robert Downey Jr. in drag…
Guy Ritchie Has His Fingers in a Lot of Pies
Movie News By Nathan Adams on February 16, 2011 | Comments (2)It was a big day on the Internet for Guy Ritchie. Vulture reports that the sequel to the hugely successful sword and sandals film 300 has been taken out of its original director Zack Snyder's hands and placed into Ritchie's. The film is called Xerxes and is another adaptation of a Frank Miller graphic novel. Snyder was developing the sequel already, but now Ritchie will have the opportunity to put his own stamp on the project. I guess that means all of the fight scenes are going to go from being slowed down to sped up? Regardless, if they are able to cut a trailer with enough macho posturing to lure all of the fans of 300 back into the theater, then this could be a real coup for the director. But that's not all. Ritchie also has a sequel to his successful 2009 film Sherlock Holmes coming out in December. E Online reports that this film has gone from being known as Untitled Sherlock Holmes Sequel to the slightly more fetching Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Eh, I don't know; it kind of sounds like a role-playing game. Untitled Sherlock Holmes Sequel might have been the thing to go with after all. It lets the people know what they're getting. All of my snickering and sniping aside, this is pretty big news for a filmmaker I went about nine years without thinking about. It was like, he made Lock, Stock and Snatch and then he totally disappeared until […]

Against a reported positive end to 2012 for many retailers, the headlines in January have been a vivid reminder of how tough the market is for many retailers. The focus on price we've seen over the past few years is set to continue in 2013. That said our retail pricing intelligence and reported financial results suggest that the lowest price isn't everything but customers perception of value is.
As a result price positioning has become more important than ever. Price isn't everything but the clever use of competitive pricing intelligence, alongside differentiation through product offering, service and customer experience are all key factors. So being the lowest price may not be necessary, but being accurately priced against direct competitors is critical.
To help start the year we've published new retail pricing analysis that shows the competitive position of retailers in a wide range of categories. Please download the report by clicking on the box at the top if this article.
As we look forward to 2013, price positioning will continue to be a key business driver with additional channels influencing shopping behaviour. The first of these is the increase of marketplace pricing. As the number of retailers adding or extending their marketplace offerings continues, the ability to price position becomes more difficult. Pricing intelligence is also available for the marketplace sites so competitive pricing analysis can be produced as the impact of these sites grows.
2013 will also see an increase in the influence of mobile shopping. Transaction rates are growing rapidly, but still make up a very small share of the market from a revenue perspective. What is more compelling is the influence the mobile devices have on consumers shopping behaviour. Consumers have access to ever increasing amounts of information while shopping in-store, this of course includes pricing intelligence. Having a plan to manage this behaviour will be important part of the marketing process. We'll continue to develop this analysis based on the feedback we get and publish a new report at the beginning of Q2 2013.
I hope that you find the report useful and would welcome any feedback you have.

I'm in Toronto and Republic of Doyle runs on WUTV Fox 29 Buffalo every Sunday at midnight. It's not bad but compared to similar American action series it's kind of boring, it lacks real action we are all used to by watching CSI Miami-like tough cops and PIs.

I find this amusing: "I didn't want Jake carrying a gun, or etc. etc. etc. I didn't want American influence to be dictating the creative." He or Mal end up with one in hand most episodes, so there are always the same ridiculous standoffs as you'd see in any show in the US. It is funny to see the Doyle's carrying bats or pry-bars to a gunfight, though.

Great program that my family enjoys each week. The Sunday slot, however, has not been a good choice for ROD. Many episodes were pre-empted on Sundays due to the Grammies, Oscars, Super Bowl, Canadian Television Awards....among others. Hence, a big disruption in the flow of the program. I hope they go back to Wednesdays for next season.

Good post, but in all seriousness, some people might be okay with other provinces getting cheap energy at the expense of Newfoundland taxpayers. I am one of those people because I have business interests in Nova Scotia and I stand to get cheaper energy at the expense of Newfoundland. As a taxpayer and voter, I support this because it benefits me. I understand why many would oppose this, but those who oppose must do something about. I will not spend my time doing anything about it because even though I know it is wrong, it is still in my best interests.

Loved this show from the beginning! Sense of humour is wonderful! Using the beautiful Province almost like a character on the show works so well! Placing it in Ottawa for a few sessions (last show of the season hints at this) would be very interesting. I love all the weird Canadian characters too - Gordon Pinsent, Paul Gross, the guy from Quincy and the one from Murdoch Mysteries - and others whose names I can't recall. Have loved them all forever - wonderful actors! Allan Hawco is amazing!

this is great but i think in order to promote our provinence for tourism the writers and producers should keep things more local ,like more local actors . and promote local towns and bussinses,just one example a couble shows back des was imatating a utility worker from our local electrical provider ( atlantic electrical,) i think we all pay our bills to NL POWER. keep story lines about places here in newfoundland ,just as was the first few seasons .

German appliance maker BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete refuted a magazine article that said its voluntary recall of five million dishwashers would cost the company more than $900 million, according to Reuters. BSH announced the recall on Aug. 30, 2013. An article last week in German magazine Focus put the price tag for the recall at EUR 700 million euros, or about US$925 million. A BSH spokesman quoted by Reuters said the figure reported by Focus "lacks any foundation." BSH has not, however, said how much it does expect the voluntary recall--which it has termed a Safety Action--to cost the company. The recall affects certain dishwasher models manufactured between 1999 and 2005. BSH said the affected dishwashers may overheat and rarely pose a risk of fire due to a fault in an electronic component in the control panel. Affected brands include: * Balay * Bosch * Constructa * Junker+Ruh * Lynx * Neff * Pitsos * Siemens Details about the affected models are on website that BSH put up specifically to provide consumers with information. The site is at: www.dishcareaction.com "BSH offers consumers affected by this safety action repair free of charge in all countries," the company said in a statement. BSH said: "As a precautionary measure the company recommends consumers with an affected dishwasher to only use the appliance under supervision, i.e. when someone is home to supervise its use, until the repair has been undertaken." The Reuters report said that problems with the dishwashers have been known to some extent for several years but, according to BSH, the assumption was that the dishwasher problems were a result of problems with local electrical grids.

Seems like a weird thing to say, beau.
The point being made here, I think, is that Grizzly Bear is a band who reached the level of popularity that they have without making money, and that matters. When you think about that in context it means that musicians must start doing all sorts of unusual things that we collectively gripe about just to survive, like putting songs in commercials. (e.g. Ian MacKaye's new band is playing Coachella this year.) If you lived through the 1990′s, corporate affiliations were a faux-pas, but these days you would just sound anachronistic to talk about it, when even MacKaye himself might tell you to put a sock in it.
Not sure if this is an endorsement of this band's music or not, but either way it seems weird to me that people have not owned up to the fact that, with few exceptions, there is nothing inherently subversive about the music being created these days (lest to exclude it from late night television). If there was, we would probably still have subcultures in lieu of the endless co-option of music from bands whose main aim is to formulate, release an e.p., have a song in a Volkswagen commercial and break up before the year is out.
HaHa. Agreed!
I remember listening to Down after coming from staid young teen corporate rock predilections and thinking it was the weirdest (i.e. best) thing I had ever heard in my life to that point- a feeling which, whether I realize it or not, I am still trying to capture while listening to new music and rarely do.
Maybe that cover is Grass Widow's attempt to point out the futility of album covers in an age where everything is downloaded en mass (uh, relatively speaking). Orr: maybe they thought it was cool. Or maybe you shouldn't judge digitally downloaded albums by their album covers, Michael Bell. If this (record) is anything like the last one, it is going 2 rule!!
That is because your taste in music may possibly be bad. -Way to Overreact On The Internet.

Date Hiked: September 27, 2013
General Condition: Impassable (completely overgrown or tread obliterated)
Lost the trail often between Strawberry and Rainbow camp. Fallen trees, hillslides, overgrown brush, hog trails...especially easy to lose the trail at side creek crossings overgrown with ferns, fallen trees, etc. I hiked at less than one mile per hour this 4-5 mile section. It was very frustrating and even freaked me out enough to think like a SAR team... Fortunately, the route parallels the creek for the most part (and often was easier to just hike in the creek), so you can't get too lost, but the trail is still in severe need of some TLC. Came across an abandoned tent and pink sleeping bag at one point when I was pretty sure I was lost. Can imagine someone set up camp, then couldn't figure out where it was on their way back from a trip to get water or something... looked as if the ground hogs had definitely had a field day with the gear (hopefully the hiker made it out okay).

Moke Moketoff: From Academia to Collecting and Giving Back
NEW YORK—If Indiana Jones had been a student of Tibetan Buddhism, he might have turned out to be Moke Mokotoff.
Mokotoff lives in New York now, working as a private art dealer, like so many others in the city's enterprising art community. But he has lived many lives—as a National Geographic photographer training scholars to preserve manuscripts on the Nepal–India border, as a fundraiser for a Tibetan lama's dream school, and as a builder of the Rubin, one of the most respected Himalayan art museums in the country. Yet no incarnation has taken him far from the sacred lands of Buddhism.
Mokotoff has studied Tibetan Buddhism for over 40 years, under the tutelage of Lama Kunga Thartse Rinpoche, who fled Tibet during the Chinese invasion, taking with him a number of treasured sacred objects. To realize Lama Rinpoche's dream of establishing a Tibetan Buddhist center in the Berkeley hills, Mokotoff helped him raise $75,000 by selling the objects—mostly textiles—to the Metropolitan Museum and the Newark Museum. That sum seems a pittance now, given the increased understanding of and interest in Himalayan art.
"Most Westerners are attracted to Buddhism mostly through the art, and have an emotional reaction to the art," he said, explaining that the art itself is integral to the practice of Tibetan Buddhism. "The thangkas (devotional wall hangings) are meditation objects. All the artistic renderings are all based on meditations and prayer."
In Tibetan Buddhism, art is hardly ever purely decorative. Statues depict deities and the major buddhas; wall hangings narrate the life of the Buddha, serve as meditation aids, and illustrate concepts; ritual objects such as bowls and bells help the monks and nuns reach enlightenment. Mokotoff knows all this from firsthand experience, having immersed himself in the art in-situ, which is crucial to his work as an appraiser and art dealer.
"Usually collectors don't have access to the cultural context of the artwork," he said. "In Tibet, monasteries were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, so it's difficult. The new icons are different."
Ironically, but perhaps not surprisingly, the Chinese themselves have become a large proportion of Mokotoff's clients.
"The Chinese have had access to concepts and philosophies of Buddhism through their language and their cultural upbringing," he said. "Demand among mainland Chinese has increased because they are aware of how rare these artworks are and that they have survived destruction."
Lucky for Mokotoff, his clients are as enthusiastic about, and as fascinated by, Buddhist art as he is.
"They are buying for the long term to put in their shrines as a beautiful object," he said. "My experience is that they are very reverential. I like dealing mostly with people who appreciate their Buddhist content. It's my greatest thrill."
For the remainder of Asia Week, Mokotoff will be holding gallery hours at 5 East 82nd Street, 2nd Floor, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m, untiil March 23.
Moke's Extracurriculars
In 1997, Mokotoff helped Donald Rubin found the Himalayan Art Resources website, which was the largest virtual art museum at the time. The website helps viewers of Himalayan art recognize its conventions and motifs, and deepen their understanding of Tibetan Buddhist paintings and sculpture.
Mokotoff is also the president of the Zangdokpalri Foundation, an NGO serving the needs of Buddhist communities in the Himalayas.

With Indiana's loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten semifinals on Saturday afternoon, the debate over which four teams deserve No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament and which team deserves the No. 1 overall seed was reopened.
On that note, here are 10 teams that probably think they have a shot at one of the four available No. 1 seeds. The teams are listed in order of their RPI ranking. Included is each team's overall record, their record against teams that were ranked at the time of the matchup and how they fared in their conference tournament.
Duke: 27-5 overall, 4-2 against ranked teams, eliminated by Maryland in ACC tournament quarterfinals
New Mexico: 28-5 overall, 4-0 against ranked teams, will play UNLV in the Mountain West championship game tonight
Louisville: 28-5 overall, 5-3 against ranked teams, will play Syracuse in the Big East championship game tonight
Miami: 26-6 overall, 3-2 against ranked teams, will play winner of UNC/Maryland in ACC championship game on Sunday
Indiana: 27-6 overall, 7-2 against ranked teams, eliminated by Wisconsin in Big Ten tournament semifinals
Michigan State: 25-7 overall, 5-6 against ranked teams, will play Ohio State in Big Ten semifinals tonight
Gonzaga: 31-2 overall, 1-2 against ranked teams, won WCC tournament
Florida: 26-6 overall, 4-1 against ranked teams, will play winner of Vanderbilt/Mississippi in the SEC championship game on Sunday
Kansas: 28-5 overall, 4-1 against ranked teams, will play Kansas State in Big 12 championship game tonight
Georgetown: 25-6 overall, 6-2 against ranked teams, eliminated by Syracuse in Big East tournament semifinals
With many of the teams listed here still in play in their respective conference tournaments, a lot will be decided with regards to seeding by the championship games of the Mountain West, Big East, ACC, Big Ten, SEC and Big 12.
While I don't necessarily agree with it, Duke and Indiana sound like near locks for No. 1 seeds despite their conference shortcomings, and No. 1 ranked Gonzaga, who boasts the best record among the teams and a conference crown, should be a strong candidate for a top seed despite their weak schedule. When you look at it from that angle, six teams – New Mexico, Louisville, Miami, Michigan State, Florida and Kansas – likely head into their final game or two with a fighter's chance at a top seed come selection time, with only Georgetown pretty much guaranteed to be on the outside looking in at a No. 1 seed.
Need any more reason to watch the next 24 hours of conference tournament action?
UPDATE: Check out the latest take on the race for No. 1 seeds here.

The Facts About Contributory Negligence
Although in personal injury law contributory negligence is considered a countersuit, it's actually more of a defense. Individuals who are sued for negligence can sue the plaintiff as at least partially at fault for the injury. If the jury or judge finds the plaintiff to have contributed even 1 percent to the negligence, he receives no damages from the defendant. Only five states currently use the pure contributory negligence doctrine. Most opt for comparative or modified comparative negligence.
Origins of Contributory Negligence
The United States used the doctrine extensively in the 19th and 20th centuries. However, contributory negligence, like so much American law, has its roots in England. In the first known case, Butterfield vs. Forrester, Butterfield put up a pole in order to repair his home. Forrester, who was riding a horse, hit the pole. He sued Butterfield for personal injury damages. Although it was dusk, a witness said the visibility was 100 yards, so the court ruled that Forrester failed to use common caution and denied him damages.
The Burden of Proof Shifts
The burden of proof differs from state to state. Some adhere to the rule that the defendant must prove the plaintiff is partially negligent in causing his own injury. However, in some jurisdictions, the injured person must prove he did not act negligently. Along with that, the 'last clear chance' clause indicates the plaintiff must prove he had a clear chance to prevent injury. Otherwise, he's guilty of contributory negligence. Many people get quite a surprise about this little known law.
'Last Clear Chance' Doctrine
Because of the countersuit, the plaintiff in the original negligence suit is now the defendant. As such, he must prove that immediately before the incident took place, he took a last clear chance to avoid injury. The defendant must show that he couldn't realize there was a last chance or act on it. The last clear chance doctrine was meant, for instance, to avoid the times people might jump in front of cars expressly to get injured and claim damages as a result. There are times, also, when there's no clear last chance.
Objections to Contributory Negligence
Many citizens, attorneys, and lawmakers believe this doctrine completely exonerates the uninjured person and furthermore punishes the injured person. Even though the plaintiff, the original injured party, is found to have caused only 1 percent negligence does not excuse the defendant's actions and the damage he caused. Interested parties also object to the doctrine because it's outdated and, therefore, useless in today's society. Opponents claim injustice, citing cases in England in which rapists were set free by using the contributory negligence doctrine. As the law is used in the United States, if the victim sued the rapist for damages in civil court, the rapist can claim the victim is partially to blame. The criminal case is not affected.
There are only four states, Alabama, Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland; and the District of Columbia that still use the original law concerning contributory negligence cases. The remaining states have opted for a newer approach, which distributes blame for negligence more fairly. With the advancement of technology, such as vehicles, computers and other devices, situations have become blurred, so the courts devised a system to determine percentage of negligence.

After seeing the game today, the question about whether the Chiefs will retain Todd Haley's services after the seasons ends came up. It came up once before, after the Chiefs dropped 3 in a row, but was silenced when they started winning. Now after 2 home losses, the critics and fans will be calling for a change, and I think Scott Pioli and Clark Hunt will oblige!
During Haley's 3 year run up to this last blowout loss, Kansas City has a home record of 10-11. Even with the leagues loudest stadium, the Chiefs cannot even manage 50% at home; granted, there hasn't been much to cheer about lately. The Chiefs play 8 games at home every year, and if they wanted to make the playoffs they would need to win at least 6 of those games, meaning they would need to pick up at least 4 road wins. Keep that number handy, we will use it again shortly!
Since Haley took over in 2009, the Chiefs have a division record of 6-10. The Chiefs play each divisional opponent twice, so there are 6 for a season. They still have 2 more this year, and those are looking any better. OAK here in KC, and then in DEN. Might be 2 more losses after all is said and done! Over the last 10 full seasons, the AFC West Division champion has a record of 47-15, so basically win 5 in your division, and your in! Someone tell that to the 2010 Raiders who swept the division, and missed the playoffs!
So remember that home record from before? (6-2) So if they already won 3 division home games from the previous segment, that would make 2 additional division away games, so now their record would stand at 8-3, and they only need 2 more wins outside of Arrowhead, and outside of the division…very feasible considering they have 5 games remaining!
Since Haley took over in 2009, the Chiefs overall record has not been too impressive. Just a measly 18-23 (44%). Not the worst head coach in the last decade…that honor belongs to Herm Edwards who went 15-33 (32%). I am not 100% sure why Haley has failed so miserably? Some people claim that it is Cassel's fault. But how can it be his fault, when the offensive scheme is a run first mentality, and only rely on him not to turn the ball over? Some may claim that injuries have taken over the team this year…true, but along the front lines of both the offense and defense, where there have been no major injuries to speak of, there is either no protection or no pressure!
Then there are those that argue about a tough schedule. Ha! Last year was an easy schedule, and the Chiefs made it look hard. They tried handing out wins as if they were giving candy to trick-o-treaters!….This year is a tough schedule. They have played hard in some games, but in others, have came out completely flat! There is somethings wrong with this team and since it cannot be narrowed down to one position or a single player, unfortunately, the head coach will bite the bullet!
A head coaches job is relatively simple … on paper! Win Games, Keep Your Job! The fine print would read something like, "Especially win home games with the loudest stadium in the NFL, and win division games against opponents you see 2 times a year!" I have outlined that by winning 75% of your home games and 5 of 6 of your division contests, you can easily have an 8-8 season. Just win 2 more on the road and your should be a lock each and every year for the post-season!
The Chiefs have not won a playoff game since 1993. During the time since, the Chiefs have played in 6 post season contests, and lost everyone of them! Sometimes, as the favorite sometimes as the Wild-Card. They all had the same outcome! The Chiefs are looking for playoffs games, but more importantly, they are looking for a playoff win, and 1 post-season run in 3 years, is not going to keep you your job!

I live in western PA and my hummers have left for the season about three weeks ago. Some cold weather did blow through that week. Has anyone else in my area seen them leave early? Thanks |

I haven't seen them for weeks, but Just spot one today. I live in Philly suburb. |

Im not in your area , Im in central indy and my last hummer was sighted on Oct . 8th. To your point that is an early departure for my area. At least the last couple of years its been around Oct 20. Every year is different , as an example- normal peak migration for me has always been most of august but this year peak time was mid-july, go figure. |
I saw my last hummer Oct. 13th, female RT, very pudgy. I took down all my feeders, except one. I keep it fresh. Last year, I kept one feeder up year 'round, and had one or two hummers that hung around. I hope to see more this year. (I hope my pic is attached) |
Nana. don't you just love to see them looking pudgy-- every little bit is a survival advantage, poor little guys. Thanks for the pic, mine have been gone for at least a week. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 24, 13 at 14:46
As I mentioned above my last sighting was oct 8th and I was lucky to get a shot of that hummer perched on a stem of my large salvia blue ensign. speaking of blue ensign heres a shot of two of them trying to buck each other both 6' tall and wide- notice how they dwarf the black and blue below them. |
Hi Hummersteve, Our hummers look like cousins! I hope you had a good hummer year. This was my worse. I had 6 feeders out, always clean and fresh, and only one week did I have 4 hummers feeding. Other weeks, I had only one or two. I have B&B planted nearby, and cuphea still blooming. Oh, well, maybe next year. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 25, 13 at 11:43
Hi Nanaboo My season was most likely average as I have had better seasons. One strange observation was that my prime hummer period was mid-july as opposed to the normal mid-august for my area. Here a couple of shots from that july period. this one was my favorite shot of the season- all males |
Fabulous! I am envious, I would love to have that many hummers around one of my feeders. Your pics are awesome. Thanks for sharing. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ivy!
Facts about Ivy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Ivy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Ivy is the cutest little kitten, she is alittle shy at first but then is fun and playful, want so cuddle and be loved. Ivy and her sister Pebbles both need a forever home. We would like to see them adopted together, instant playmates. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, like us on facebook and follow us on twitter.
Other Pets at Bow Wow Revolution Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ivy, a Chicago Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Chicago, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Chicago.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chicago already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chicago breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chicago paves the way for another one to be saved.

On September 2011 I will start a lomographic project called "PROJECT PARADISE" that is going to involve me and other 18 selected lomographers across Europe. IMPORTANT UPDATE: THE SEARCH IS OVER. THE PARTICIPANTS WILL BE CONTACTED SOON !!! Thanks for the great response!
Thanks lomographers! in a few days we reached the numbers of contributors for this project.
It was really cool to see such a great interest in this project from the community.
