We've been bringing you the latest in Mercedes-Benz product news, and what to expect from the company in the future, over the last few days and here's the last of it. This is what to expect from Mercedes' crossovers and SUVs in the next few years:
GLK-Class: The smallest crossover in Mercedes' lineup was introduced as a 2009 model and will get a facelift in 2012. A diesel version of the crossover could be added at that time as well.
M-Class: Due next year, the new M-Class will feature Mercedes' latest generation of fuel-saving engines. This means we'll see the twin-turbo, 4.6-liter V-8 make its way into the ML, as well as the twin-turbo, 5.5-liter V-8 in the ML63 AMG. The base engine will be Mercedes' upcoming normally aspirated, direct-injected, 3.5-liter V-6 with 306 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. There will also be a diesel V-6 available for all 50 states.
R-Class: Mercedes introduced the refreshed 2011 model in July this year, with styling changes to make it look more like an SUV. Sales have been rather lackluster, causing Mercedes to debate the fate of the R-Class. We might not see a second-generation of the vehicle.
GL-Class: Mercedes' largest SUV is set to be redesigned in 2013.
G-Class: The Geländewagen has remained virtually untouched for thirty-odd years, receiving powertrain and interior updates as necessary. It will continue on for an unspecified amount of time (maybe another thirty years?) with its current powertrain lineup. The G550 uses Mercedes' normally aspirated, 5.5-liter V-8 with 382-horsepower coupled to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the G55 AMG still uses a supercharged, 5.4-liter V-8 producing 500 horsepower.
Sprinter: Previously sold as a Dodge and Freightliner, select Mercedes-Benz dealers now sell the commercial vehicle. A Crew Van, with room for five passengers, will be added this fall, and a MiniBus Van with room for up to 16 will be added in early 2011.

Last Vegas
Movie Info
Bruce Diones(New Yorker): The film, directed by Jon Turteltaub, has every easy but mediocre charm.
James Berardinelli(ReelViews): The actors represent with multiple safety nets and the closest the film ever comes to taking a put in peril is having Freeman dance to a comprise of Earth Wind & Fire's "September."
Richard Roeper(Richard Roeper.com): "This is the like "The Hangover Part 43."
Peter Rainer(Christian Science Monitor): It's deleterious enough when Hollywood casts women more than the age of 30 as grandmothers-in-abeyance. Now we have to endure ~y onslaught of famous veteran actors querimonious about their hips.
Liam Lacey(Globe and Mail): A preholiday bubble that's mildly risqund a portion sentimental.
Peter Howell(Toronto Star): De Niro and Douglas weirdly personate a character versions of their real selves, as long as Freeman and Kline ham it up for example if they're auditioning on account of a reality show called Gramps Gone Wild.
Matthew Toomey(ABC Radio Brisbane): It's almost from perfect but there's a stratum of sentimentality that makes Last Vegas easier to digest.
Jim Schembri(3AW): It's Old Men Gone Mild in this ultraist-predictable, decently funny mashing of The Hangover and The Bucket List.
Ed Gibbs(FILMINK (Australia)): Jon Turteltaub's ''pre-existing men behaving badly'' rude girl does more than merely pander to expectancy. Beyond the noise of the devastate lies a buddy comedy with spirit.
Leigh Paatsch(Herald Sun (Australia)): No surprise to visit Robert De Niro here. Write him a self-conceited enough cheque and he'll practise the school play of your precious.
Andrew L. Urban(Urban Cinefile): With stars of this scope, the movie can't subsist all bad, and it ain't. It's righteous hollow
Louise Keller(Urban Cinefile): Not the same of Fogelman's good scripts. Like The Guilt Trip, that relied forward the casting of Seth Rogan & Barbra Streisand, this puerile premise of four 60 something guys title to Vegas for a last hurrah is counting on star power through little else to offer
John Beifuss(Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)): The gentle misadventures and late-life epiphanies dress in't so much suggest a Geritol 'Hangover' in the same proportion that an all-male special episode of 'The Golden Girls.'
Blake Howard(2UE That Movie Show): Last Vegas is double AND zero. It wins big with Freeman's temper and Kline's surgeon-like timing and flails miserably with everything associated with relationship between Douglas and DeNiro.
Nigel Floyd(Film4): A diverting, touching and surprisingly fleet-footed comedy nearly a quartet of 60-plus male friends who are determined to enlarge old (dis)gracefully.
Ed Whitfield(The Ooh Tray): It's any thing for Morgan Freeman to coach every ignorant young buck on respect as far as concerns the ladies, another for the corresponding; of like kind flick to ogle them, patronise them and circumstances them as plot balm to reconcile two male characters.
Xan Brooks(Observer [UK]): De Niro, Douglas, Freeman and Kline company about Last Vegas with the panache of a lifetime's continued.
Graham Young(Birmingham Mail ): [Michael] Douglas's turn. to laugh at himself by proposing at a burial is priceless ( … ) the film succeeds for the most part through the warmth of its camaraderie subduing the adult tone of its humour.
Stephen Carty(Flix Capacitor): More than precisely a geriatric cash-in on The Hangover, this likeable mob-pleaser is surprisingly funny and enjoyable. It's superior to see Morgan Freeman playing inebriated, while Kevin Kline steals the expound.
Charlotte O'Sullivan(This is London): The unit ray of sunshine: surely anything by the word "Last" in the inscription is incapable of spawning a continuation?
Donald Clarke(Irish Times): Far from being liberating, the film ends up swinging pair fingers towards the retirement home.
Stella Papamichael(Digital Spy): You may have ~ing able to tap out every belabor of the story before it's been played, except you'll go along by it because of so much asterisk charisma and a heady party air.
Sam Bathe(Fan The Fire): I demise concede that there were 3 scenes what one. pulled something between a chortle and a guffaw from me, but by that time they came beside, my face had already set into so a stony grimace that smiling genuinely detriment.
Henry Fitzherbert(Daily Express): The draw lacks big laughs and a compelling tale and doesn't have plenteous to stay about getting older.
Mike McCahill(Guardian [UK]): As put ~-screen noses are wrinkled at the individual bikini-clad partygoer approaching the leads' advanced years, undivided starts to feel the toes flexure, or possibly empathetic rigor mortis setting in.

Around 5 p.m. on Friday, the online secret-sharing site WikiLeaks released almost 400,000 previously classified U.S. military documents pertaining to the Iraq war. As with their last document dump, WikiLeaks shared the documents with a number of news organizations before they were widely released. Here's a basic rundown of those outlets' initial coverage. (The French newspaper Le Monde was also given access to the documents. Unfortunately, nobody here reads French.)
The New York Times
Just as it focused on Pakistan's involvement in the war in Afghanistan in its reporting on WikiLeaks's July dump, The New York Times focuses heavily on the involvement of Iran in the Iraq War logs released today. Reporters Michael R. Gordon and Andrew W. Lehren do the bulk of reporting in four main stories posted online Friday afternoon, which were published in a package with an introduction, overview, links to selected documents from the war logs, and two harrowing slideshows. Reportage is expected to be bolstered over the weekend, with a profile of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be published on the weekend.
The Times's current online lead WikiLeaks story is "Leaked Reports Detail Iran's Aid for Iraqi Militias," which details the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' backing of Iraqi militias.
The piece draws on specific incidents from the logs to demonstrate that Iran's Quds Forces mostly maintained a low-profile, arranging for Hezbollah to train Iraqi militias in Iran, and financing and providing weaponry to insurgents. Other times the Iranian forces sponsored assassinations; at others, they sought to influence politics.
Gordon and Lehren's reporting is strong, and they provide much needed context to the documents—Quds Force-backed attacks continued during Obama's term, for instance—with jarring summaries of specific incidences and weapons halls, tagged with links to the original reports. For example:
The provision of Iranian rockets, mortars and bombs to Shiite militants has also been a major concern. A Nov. 22, 2005, report recounted an effort by the Iraqi border police to stop the smuggling of weapons from Iran, which "recovered a quantity of bomb-making equipment, including explosively formed projectiles," which are capable of blasting a metal projectile through the door of an armored Humvee.
Most striking is the account of a particularly brazen plan to carry out a kidnapping against American soldiers.
According to the Dec. 22, 2006, report, a militia commander, Hasan Salim, devised a plan to capture American soldiers in Baghdad and hold them hostage in Sadr City to deter American raids there.
To carry out the plan, Mr. Salim turned to Mr. Dulaimi, a Sunni who converted to the Shiite branch of the faith while studying in the holy Shiite city of Najaf in 1995. Mr. Dulaimi, the report noted, was picked for the operation because he "allegedly trained in Iran on how to conduct precision, military style kidnappings."
Those kidnappings were never carried out. But the next month, militants conducted a raid to kidnap American soldiers working at the Iraqi security headquarters in Karbala, known as the Provincial Joint Coordination Center.
The documents made public by WikiLeaks do not include an intelligence assessment as to who carried out the Karbala operation. But American military officials said after the attack that Mr. Dulaimi was the tactical commander of the operation and that his fingerprints were found on the getaway car. American officials have said he collaborated with Qais and Laith Khazali, two Shiite militant leaders who were captured after the raid along with a Hezbollah operative. The Khazali brothers were released after the raid as part of an effort at political reconciliation and are now believed to be in Iran.
The Times's second report appears at first more in line with the outraged approach being taken by the Guardian and Der Spiegel. Lehren teams with reporter Sabrina Tavernise for "A Grim Portrait of Civilian Deaths in Iraq," which summarizes several instances of civilian deaths—a particularly numbing example being the incident in which a sniper accidentally shoots a U.S.-employed interpreter. Almost jarringly, though, it opens with a defensive tone. The second paragraph begins, "The reports make it clear that most civilians, by far, were killed by other Iraqis." And there is little emphasis, unlike at other outlets, on the fact that many of the civilian casualties revealed in the logs were previously unreported.

The Tom Hanks Typewriter Saga
By Chris Hardwick on October 9, 2012
What a fun week! I suspected the Tom Hanks podcast would do well, but it has seriously blown up in a way that shouldn't have surprised me, given what an amazing fellow Tom is. You guys have been SUPER nice and it makes me proud beyond words of the Phone Radio thing we make, as one delightful listener's son called it. Not to get all mushy, but yesterday (Oct 8th) was my 9th anniversary of "Hey I'm probably not someone who should be allowed to put alcohol into their bodies so I better knock this shit off," so the posting of this episode on that day was a wonderful celebration of that decision and all of the good/exciting things that have followed it.
The idea to send Tom a vintage typewriter actually came from one of our genius talent bookers, Ashley (who formerly booked for Conan and who now deserves chocolates and foot massages every day). I decided the best way to go about this was to type out the invitation on said typewriter, leave it in the carriage and send the whole thing in a pretty box. We found a snazzy 1934 Smith Corona portable, in good shape and fully functional:
Place letter in typewriter, roll, close case, send:
And this was the letter I wrote:
Dear Tom,
Please accept this typewriter–o–gram as a formal invitation to be a a guest on my wildly-popular-with-the-kids Nerdist Podcast. It is a super relaxed, fun chat that will probably cover comedy, NASA, and whatever else you want to talk about — a new WEBSERIES, perhaps?? We are nice guys who are easy to get along with and have never murdered anyone. Other guests have included folks like your son Colin, Tina Fey, Conan, Jimmy Fallon, Bryan Cranston, John Lithgow, Willem Dafoe, JJ Abrams, Neil Patrick Harris, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Joel McHale, Jon Hamm, and THE MUPPETS. It would be an absolute dream come true to add you to this list. Please accept this 1934 Smith Corona as a gift for even considering this request. It should only VERY SLIGHTLY affect your decision.
Hugs and high fives,
Chris "Vintage Typewriters" Hardwick
And this was the response:
Dear Chris, Ashley, and all the diabolical genuies at Nerdist Industries.
Just who do you think you are to try to briibe me into an appearance on your 'thing' with this gift of the most fantastic Cornona Silent typewriter made in 1934?
You are out of your minds if you think… that I… wow, this thing has great action…
and this deep crimson color… Wait! I'm not so shallow as to… and it types nearly
Oh, OKAY!
I will have my people contact yours and work out some kind of interview process…
Damn you all to hell,
Tom Hanks
PEOPLE REALLY WIN ON MTV!!! Wait–that's not what I meant to say. But this is still one of the greatest things I've gotten to do and I appreciate the shit out of it. Tom Hanks is a glimmering example of what every person who is fortunate enough to live his/her dreams should aspire to be and will definitely sit atop my pantheon of role models in fashionable yet not-too-revealing Zeus robes. /fanboy
So many good things seem to be happening for everything "Nredist Industries". Hooray, congratulations, and godspeed to the boys!
This was hilarious. What's weird is he was going down the list of all these movies he's been in, and I'm like, oh crap yeah that was him in X, and ooooh yeah he was in Y too! Which maybe sounds like I'm the dumbest person on the planet, but let's just say it's because he's a good actor. Loved this guy since Joe v. Volcano but this cemented it in carbonite.

Glad this blew up for you guys. I hope it leads to much more of the same. Engaging conversation with charming guests never grows old.
What Fascinating Mr Spock said. I'm glad someone as good-hearted as you & the gang got to experience this. Not that it would have helped, but if I'd been there when you announced to the staff that Hanks had agreed(and answered right in the spirit of the invitation), I would have told you to stop worrying & go look at his talk show appearances. He was even so engaging & relaxed for his "Inside the Actors' Studio" interview, he kept Lipton from being such a pompous windbag(mostly–the guy can't help it).
@JetpackBlues: True, if I wasn't dead inside already, I would have died a little. I've been looking for a good typewriter to convert into a keyboard for years, but have never found one that I really like. Now the Smith Corona … *sigh*
Btw, October 8th was my birthday. Why didn't I get a typewriter?! I'm disappointed, internet.
JESUS that is a gorgeous typewriter. Puts mine to shame. So glad you guys were able to make this happen!
That is so awesome! After seeing Tom's letter I really can't wait to listen!
That was great! Two months ago my computer died and I seriously considered trying to locate a typewriter; it is considerably cheaper and in the end, probably more entertaining. Technology that does not consistently work well is over-rated. I'm pleased Mr. Hanks sees it my way.
Um. Of course the podcast thing might be tricky.
@JetpackBlues, that Steampunker/Datamancer can rejoice, though, for GeekAndSundry found a replacement for the typewriter foolishly squandered on the great Tom Hanks: http://www.etsy.com/listing/89149397/usb-typewriter-works-like-a-usb-keyboard

I am going to start closing all my letters with "Damn you all to Hell."
How charming.
[…] So Hardwick purchased a 1934 Smith Corona, and typed a letter to the Oscar-winning actor imploring, "We are nice guys who are easy to get along with and have never murdered anyone." He then had the typewriter with the letter in the carriage delivered to Hanks. Hanks responded with his own typewritten letter, feigning indignation at the bribe: "You are out of your minds if you think… that I… wow, this thing has great action… and this deep crimson color… Wait! I'm not so shallow as to… and it types nearly silently… Oh, OKAY!" (Read the full exchange here.) […]

We drive from Dallas Texas every year, and we make it a point to arrive at our hotel at around 7 a.m. Since it's usually to early to check in we leave our stuff in the car in the parking lot a head to a park! At the magic Kingdom, we must eat at Casey's for lunch, because my sister's name is Kacey and the name of the restraunt was changed to Casey's in 1995 the same year my sister was born. We also play each of the mini golf courses and ride the Sea Racers.
For our last night we end watching wishes and crying some tears of joy in remembering the magical time we had in our favorite place in the whole world.

Next trip ~ July 19 - 26 2009 Animal Kingdom Lodge
I always check in at the hotel, then head STRAIGHT to Magic Kingdom. My first meal in the park is always at Cosmic Ray's. I have to pose for at least ONE picture with Mickey. At least one character meal (the more the better!) and pictures in front of the castle.
The first day I am in the Magic Kingdom, I have to get a box of popcorn from the popcorn cart in the Hub area. The next day I am in the Magic Kingdom, I have to get popcorn from the popcorn cart right as you enter Main Street. I has to be in that order -- although, I don't know why!

One of our many Disney World traditions is going to 'Ohana after a day at the Animal Kingdom. We eat a late dinner and watch Wishes. Then we go back to the hotel and moan all night about how full our bellies are, except for The Man-Child who looks for some more food to eat.
To misquote an old famous saying.
If it's Animal Kingdom day...

My fiance and I always have our picture taken at a concrete post (with the pineapple looking thing on top) by the International Gateway entrance in Epcot. While on a family vacation, I had gone over to Epcot alone one night to ride some rides and watch Illuminations. When it was over and I was on my way out, I called her when I was passing that post. That was the first time we talked on the phone, and the start of our relationship. In March 2007, while we had our friends take our picture there, I asked her to marry me. She said yes, and now we're getting married on May 23! So, the picture at the post in Epcot has been, and will continue to be, my favorite and most special tradition.

First night at Beaches and Creme with a kitchen sink for the 5 of us.
Well the first place we go when we get to WDW is the Magic Kingdom. The best best place to grab a bite to eat in the Magic Kingdom is caseys corner... in my opinion. Anyway the food is great, the hot dogs, the cracker jacks, the fries. All the pictures on the walls or soooooooooo cool haha. And if you time it right it is the best place to catch wishes.
We get an 8x10 disney picture to hang in our kids playroom. They really brighten up the playroom even more and it is a good walk down memory lane for us. I highly recommend this tradition for your family.
We usually try to make MK our first stop. Also, eating breakfast at Crystal Palace has become a tradition for us too.
I don't really have a tradition since my trips are sadly "florida" vacations rather than "disney" vacations and so we usually only spend one or MAYBE two days at a park (better than none!)... and if I'm splurging on a day at the park I usually cant afford to buy any sort of food however, if I have my way I ride Dumbo very first when I'm at the Magic Kingdom. Now I feel like i need to have some sort of tradition haha... a food related one perhaps...
SSE is the first attraction I visit each trip, and I have to spend the last day at the MK. We've been in WDW during my wife's birthday over the past few years, so we always dine at Chefs de France and sit by the window so we can watch IllumiNations. It's now a tradition.

Ashton Classic Churchill
Availability: Usually ships in 48 hours
While there are many "entry-level" cigars whose purpose is to be a gateway to other, more expensive smokes within the same brand, smoking the simply named Ashton cigar is like getting a front row ticket at a balcony price. Created by Philadelphia tobacconist Robert Levin and produced by the Fuente Family (yes, those Fuentes), the base Ashton line offers smooth, Connecticut wrapped cigars in a plethora of sizes to please all smokers. The aged Dominican tobaccos comprising the filler and binder are of a quality found in the top-tier cigars of other brands.
The care taken in crafting the cigar is easy to see while reviewing the thin, flawless wrapper expertly cloaking the 3 to 4 year old tobaccos within. The initial impression after lighting is classic tobacco and cedar, and while this is where many lesser cigars would exit stage left in terms of complexity, the Ashton quickly adds a mouth-watering zestiness as the cigar hit the sweet spot. The smoker can be certain of a fine second act as malty overtones make an entrance, and the final flourish includes a floral bouquet not usually found this deep into the show. Please try to refrain from a standing ovation.
The Ashton cigar is a mild to medium cigar that can and should be enjoyed by all. Paired with a malty and easy drinking Scotch Whiskey, this cigar will command an encore performance at any venue you choose. Smokers who are fans of the Montecristo White or Camacho Connecticut will find the Ashton worthy of high praise.

I reported in the May Newsletter that the national average cost of a new landscape installation is ten percent of the value of the home and property. Is this cost justified? What return on investment (besides beautification, energy conservation and privacy) can be expected? A recent study by Clemson University addressed this concern.
Researchers conducted a study of home sale prices and compared the results based on varying levels of landscape quality. Not only were the type, size and condition of plantings considered, but also the overall design. Landscapes were rated "poor," "average," "good," or "excellent." Results concluded that those homes with good and excellent landscapes had a fourteen to seventeen percent higher sale value than those in the poor and average categories.
This study was done in Greenville, SC and included 218 single family residences. Though results may vary slightly by region, the study indicates that the monetary return on investment for quality landscaping certainly justifies the cost; better landscapes bring higher sale value.
In addition to sale value, proper landscape installation will insure less expense over time and greater satisfaction. In my years of landscaping experience, I've been required to replant and/or repair numerous landscapes which were originally installed without proper planning and technique. This ends up being more expensive than doing the job right the first time.

Is there anywhere to tent camp during the winter around Wrightsville Beach?
Is there anywhere to tent camp during the winter around Wrightsville Beach?
Masonboro, Lee/Hutaff Island, any of the spoil and marsh islands between the ICW and the beaches. CB North End too.
Definitely NOT on WB
Not on Wrightsville beach, the police will be all over you. However, you can camp on Masonboro island or any of the other small off shore islands if you have a boat.
How about a campground with road/foot access?
Just camp in Carolina Beach State Park. It's a nice little campground with nice hiking trails. Close to all the spots mentioned. It has bathrooms/road access, and you are in the woods! You can here the traffic in CB, but it feels like you are somewhere else with a little imagination. The skate park is down the street if there is no surf as well.
PM me if you come down. I will show you around CB if you want. May-be someday you can do the same.

Park on the north end of CB by the pier and walk a couple hundred yards or as far as 2 miles. Have fun!
Go look at "Hack N Shack's" latests posts on the forum. It's actually pretty entertaining to see how much s*** he talks and just calls everyone a kook.
P.S. BRAH...I see you actually started a friendly thread about coming to Ocean City which happens to be my home break. Funny, when I asked about coming to your hometown you just called me a kook and said it's flat all the time. Do us all a favor and stick to surfing the couch in your mom's basement.
The thing is, when most people say its flat here in wilmy there is usually still a rideable wave. I've come to the conclusion that most people here just think they are too good to be seen in small surf; doesn't bother me because I hate the crowds anyways.
Yeah, Huck-n-Suck is such a badass down here in the lineup. I've seen her surf the outer reef in front of the yacht club all the way through into the slabbed out pit on the inside shelf, up the beach and then straight into a bench-off with NJshredmachine. Pharking GNARLY!

Five Ways to Wear White After Labor Day
Since I no longer write the date on the top right corner of lined paper every morning, grade school-style, I realized it when I read "September" on my iCal a few hours ago. It's fall—like, officially—and I need to stop ordering rosé with every meal, sliding sunglasses atop my head 'til 9 PM and wearing many of the things in my summer wardrobe.
But I'm keeping my white dresses and white denim in rotation. I love white, and I wear it Labor Day through Labor Day largely because lots of girls don't. Woven into fall outfits like the ones below, the color's fresh, crisp and a little surprising in a way it just can't be in July.

Is Hillary the New Thatcher?
Margaret Thatcher was the kind of woman who made men's toes curl. Her savage intelligence, command of policy and what François Mitterrand called "the mouth of Marilyn Monroe and the eyes of Caligula" both terrified and intrigued them. And she loved it. The woman who was prime minister of Britain from 1979 to 1990 declared she owed nothing to "women's lib" and surrounded herself with men—appointing only one woman to her cabinet.Today she is remembered as a resolute, tough-minded leader who was fond of tanks and relished a fight. Hillary Clinton, commentators cry, asks to be treated more gently because she is a woman. Thatcher didn't have to.What we forget is how happily Thatcher exploited stereotypes when it was convenient to do so. When she campaigned for the leadership of her party in 1976, she was so eager to counter her image as an upper-crust Tory in pearls that she portrayed herself as a regular, devoted housewife.

BeliefWatch: Paris Hilton Finds God
Three weeks ago, while preparing to go to jail, Paris Hilton sauntered out her front door with a Bible tucked under her arm—facing outward so the cover would be clearly visible. So it wasn't a shock that it took just three days in prison before Hilton found God. She told Barbara Walters that she had "become more spiritual" and that God had given her a second chance.There's a long tradition of jailhouse conversions; many are temporary, aimed at gaining leniency from judges, while others seem genuine. Malcolm X discovered Islam while in a Massachusetts state prison.

Royal Visit: Queen Elizabeth in America
On Feb. 6, 1952, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was distraught when he heard King George VI had died. His secretary, John Colville, tried to console him by assuring him he would get on well with the new queen, Elizabeth II: "But all he could say was that he didn't know her, and that she was only a child." She was 25 at the time. A year later, a royal aide confided that Churchill was so fond of her he could "scarcely speak of her without tears coming into his eyes."The rapport between Churchill and his queen was remarkable—she a serious young woman, known for her beauty, wit and love of dancing, he a great orator and war leader who delighted in schooling his monarch in the peculiar ways of British politics. Their meetings often lasted long past their customary half-hour appointment. When he notified her of his intention to resign in 1955, Churchill was told, through the queen's secretary, that "she would especially miss the weekly audiences which she had found so...

Scientists Can't Read Your Mind With Brain Scans (Yet)
- Tuesday April 29, 2014
As a journalist who writes about neuroscience, I've gotten a lot of super enthusiastic press releases touting a new breakthrough in using brain scans to read people's minds. They make it sound like a brave new future has arrived. But whenever I read these papers and talk to the scientists, I end up feeling conflicted. What they've done–so far, anyway–really doesn't live up to what most people have in mind when we think about mind reading. Then again, the stuff they actually can do is pretty amazing. And they're getting better at it, little by little.

A Queens man could face up to 15 years in prison following his arrest on July 9 in an alleged alcohol-related accident that killed a road worker on the Grand Central Parkway.
Munshi Abdullah, 26, of Jamaica, was ordered held on $350,000 bail by Queens Criminal Court Judge Lenora Gerald on July 10.
He has been charged with second-degree manslaughter, second-degree vehicular manslaughter, driving by an unlicensed operator, and operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to a statement released by the office of Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
Abdullah is accused of striking and killing 63-year-old Frank Avino of Long Island, who was setting up cones at a work site on the Grand Central near Jewel Avenue.
"The defendant is accused of getting behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol and striking and killing a hardworking family man," Brown said. "By his alleged actions, the defendant illustrated the lethal consequences resulting from driving while intoxicated."
Avino, a resident of Ronkonkoma, LI, was in the left westbound lane, working as an electrician for Welsbach Electric Corp., of College Point.
Brown said that according to the charges, Abdullah was speeding in the westbound lefthand lane at about 11 a.m. while Avino was distributing orange traffic cones behind a construction vehicle that displays a flashing arrow to indicate that a lane was closed.
The impact allegedly caused Avino to hit the windshield and then fly into the air before landing on the construction vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS personnel.
The case is being investigated by the NYPD's Highway Unit. A statement from Brown's office alleges that police officers arriving on the scene reported Abdullah to have bloodshot, watery eyes and a strong odor of alcohol on his breath.
An examination of evidence including skid marks at the scene allegedly determined that the Audi was traveling at a minimum of 58 miles per hour at the time of the collision in a 50 mph zone.
The Audi sustained front-end damage and a shattered windshield.
A portable breath test allegedly showed Abdullah to have a blood alcohol reading of .21 percent, or more than four times the legal New York State limit of .05.
Abdullah allegedly told police that he had been drinking from midnight to 3 a.m. on the morning of July 9, and was driving the Audi "because his friends were too drunk to drive."
Authorities are alleging that Abdullah could not produce a valid New York State driver's license, and that he flailed his arms in an effort to avoid being handcuffed.
Abdullah is scheduled to appear in court again on July 25.

's comment on 2008-11-14 08:46 PM
Because it's not flight. He can hit your wallet, he can hire assassins to hit you in your sleep, he can put a truly ridiculous bounty on your head and many other things. It would be a large threat indeed that would actually cause him to pursue someone himself, when he can get everyone else to try and put you down for him. You would constantly be having to watch your back, from making sure that the jovial barkeep isn't poisoning your drink to having to actually watch for city guards, as they may have been told to arrest you. From what I've seen, for a taste of a dragon's hoard, many players would hunt someone to the ends of the earth. NPCs, generally not being as well off as a group with the resources to irk a dragon, would be quicker still to jump on such an opportunity.
Finally, if somehow the unlucky group managed to outwit, outlast and outmaneuver all his strikes, they would eventually have to deal with the dragon king himself. The most likely place of confrontation then, if the Dragon King has anything to say about it, would be in his citadel. There, they would not only have to deal with an ancient amethyst dragon, but also the entirety of his city guard, a fair number of Dark Elf honor guards and as many citizens as are able to raise a pitchfork in defense of their king.
Not a person to rile up, no indeed.

It depends on how long its been inactive for. A few minutes, it might just be some memory loss. A couple hours, and they would be severely mentally impaired. But after a day or two, they would be little more than amusing toy soldiers. They might even make good toys in such a case, though you may have trouble getting the "relatives" (it's builder, and others built by the same) to give up the shell.

The first challenge to even try that would be to get one of the inanimate shells. If they can recover them, they will bury them, often in small cast off containers, such as a large matchbox. There is, in fact, one notable Clockfolk tomb, which is actually an abandoned wine cellar with a few empty racks. In each rack, a small, inanimate, yet still perfect looking Clockfolk lies in gentle repose. Should someone desecrate one of their shells, there will generally be a reaction. Limited in actual striking power, the offender will have to suffer virtually every mechanical thing they own being sabotaged until they return the shell, a stubborn man may well find that not a ticking, boiling or clanking thing in his house is worth a penny more than the metal it's made of.

Reinforcing Skeletons
A common problem is that skeletons, the classic symbol of the necromantic arts, are simply kind of weak. Many Necromancers have become frustrated with laboring over the bones of the fallen and breathing life into them only to have some irate farmer with a shovel break their arms off. There are a few solutions to this problem.
One of the more straightforward solutions is to simply rivet metal bands on to the non-jointed parts. This is very easy in the case of limbs, and often hands are bound into a mitten form. With this method, the ribs and spine present the greatest challenge, the common solution being to only rivet the top, middle and bottom of a series of scales into place, thus allowing most of them to conform to the bending of the spine. The ribs are usually attached to a solid band that is slightly angled, so as to slide behind the one above it if the skeleton bends forward. This method has the advantage of being nonmagical and thus immune to being dispelled, the drawback being that poor craftsmanship can greatly inhibit movement and that the added weight usually slows the skeletons in question down.
A less common method but a growing favorite is to broaden almost all the bones, to the point where the skeleton looks almost like a person wearing full bone armor. This has the advantage of being quicker than the Steelshanks method, but it does take a more skilled Necromancer to accomplish. This is because the actual effect is really controlled explosive bone growth, a difficult task. If improperly done, this can completely ruin a skeleton. Correctly done, the end result will be just as fast, much sturdier and cut a more imposing figure to boot. Many who use this method add horns, simply for aesthetics.
One of the most difficult, but also so far one of the most effective is to enchant the skeleton in such a way that, when injured, the broken bones will actually knit themselves back together. A very difficult enchantment, it pulls ambient energy into the skeleton and reserves it for a time when it is needed. When activated by a break, be it a hairline fracture or a fully shattered limb, the energy will erupt and, in a method similar to Broadbones, cause controlled explosive growth. The enchantments also allow the skeleton to reincorporate a severed piece back onto itself, firmly reattaching a severed piece that is firmly held against the break. This is a good idea if the piece is present, as the amount of energy that can be stored at any given time is roughly enough to regenerate one severed limb, such as an arm or leg, or many smaller breaks. Despite attempts, this enchantment has so far proved unable to allow a skeleton to add pieces on to its own mass.
It is possible to combine some of these methods, though it is very difficult. With Broadbones and Knitting for example, if improperly cast, the skeleton will start to grow rampantly, as quickly as it is able to absorb sufficient energy for bone growth. If cast correctly though, you would wind up with a powerful armored servant who can take a cannon shell and keep on fighting.

Upgrading Zombies
Zombies, the other primary icon of necromancy. A horrifying being, it is limited somewhat by its lack of speed and made less attractive to necromancers by it's tendency to foul up lairs with it's rotting stench and the pieces of rotting flesh that occasionally fall off. Some necromancers attempt to get rid of the awful stench, but some have actually turned it into a feature.
Some necromancers have capitalized on the charnel stench that seems to radiate from zombies. A mixture of alchemical fluids can be poured into various parts of the digestive track, the section in question then being stitched shut. The end result is that, when struck hard enough for the bladder holding the mixture to rupture, a almost supernaturally horrid stench washes forth, often causing vomiting in those who are nearby.
Failed attempts at creating a rumbleguts zombie result often in leakers- where the fluid begins to leak out and surround the zombie with the stench at all times. One of the biggest problems here is that the fluid drains fully in a rather short period of time- often within a couple of days.
In addressing one of the big challenges facing zombies, their lackluster speed, a number of solutions have arisen. The most common one is to simply add a third leg, attached at the tailbone. This gives the zombies a bit of an odd gait, but they are able to move faster while retaining their balance.
The main problem with this is that roughly one in five zombies will be incapable of adjusting to the third leg, and it will just weigh them down while they lumber foreward on their two normal legs.
Worth noting is that some enterprising necromancers have even added a fourth leg, although it seems that the number of zombies that are capable of adjusting to this is extremely low.
Sometimes, when a town simply won't stop giving an honest necromancer grief, they are left no option but to slaughter the entire ruddy village. The problem with that is it takes a considerable amount of effort and minions, at least under normal circumstances. The Cancerous augmentation uses the natural plague carrying abilities of rotting corpses to deliver a potent payload. The result of the combination of alchemical fluids and enchantments is that, either when the master decides or when the zombie is so damaged that it can't hold together anymore, it bursts. This burst releases a large amount of very potent sickening agents, enough to often contaminate a small town. Generally, most are given orders to fall into the local well before bursting, which of course would cause a sizable epidemic.
Care must be taken while creating a cancerous zombie, it is frighteningly easy for hasty necromancers to infect themselves with the same plagues they are trying to deliver.

Empowering Wraiths
Wraiths, a less common form of undead, are very potent servants to those who can bind them. Whereas zombies and skeletons are the physical remains of a corpse, the wraith is, like ghosts and other incorporeal undead, the imprint of a soul on reality.
Wraiths are already powerful, but ambitious necromancers have found to improve them further.
A few useful traits that wraiths have is the abilities of invisibility and being incorporeal. A problem that necromancers often have is powerful louts who can trounce their minions coming after them. The answer is the Shiver wraith. Through select enchantments, the wraith becomes capable of causing a great deal of agony to someone who is sleeping, as well as giving them visions of it's choosing. A classic is to show the 'hero' entering the necromancers lair, only to be slaughtered in many creative ways by traps or minions that the necromancer does not actually possess. This generally leads the victims to either avoid the area all together, thinking it a glimpse of the future, or to bog themselves down with equipment to disarm these phantom traps. A warning to necromancers who would try this spell: an improper casting can cause the wraith to get sucked in to the mind of anyone nearby who falls asleep, remaining trapped and unable to do anything until they awake.
One of the greatest weapons that the undead have at their disposal is fear. The Shudderfog wraith capitalizes on this by being able to call forth a billowing blanket of unnaturally thick fog. Even while visible, the already insubstantial wraith is almost impossible to see in the fog. More importantly, it causes any to be trapped in the fog to be totally terrified, as the wraith could be anywhere and, as far as they know, everywhere. One tactic that some wraiths employ in these situations is to momentarily be spotted just long enough for the victims to attack before fading out of sight again. Continuing this long enough, they quickly build a terrified reflex in the victim to simply swing at anything they even slightly see. Many groups of would be heroes have butchered each other like this, not being able to see who or what a given shape is, but to scared to do anything but attack it. The lone survivor of such attacks is invariably weakened to the point where the wraith generally has little trouble finishing them off.
An uncommon augmentation, if only for the difficulty involved in creating it. This allows a wraith to attempt to counterspell the spells of a nearby mage. Unlike an actual spellcaster, the wraith (unless it was a spellcaster in life) has no knowledge of the interplay of magical forces, and its abilities must be trained and coached by the necromancer. The most skilled Scatterspell wraiths can reliably counter the works of novice mages, but even they can only counter the works of a moderately skilled sorcerer about half the time. More powerful spellcasters generally have nothing to fear from even the strongest Scatterspell wraiths.

General Augmentations
There are some augmentations that can be applied to many types of undead, often any that are physical.
An augmentation that can be applied to almost all corporeal undead is the simple addition of extra arms. This allows the wielding of additional weapons, the lifting of heavier loads and other such tasks. Generally a simple augmentation, the only problems arise when hasty necromancers don't include enough of the shoulder structure, resulting in a maximum lifting weight of approximately zero.
Most necromancers who are capable of employing this augmentation do so whenever possible. When the corpse to be used is very fresh, having died within the hour, a skilled necromancer can imprint the personality of the deceased onto his new servant, granting it sentience. Due to the nature of the animating magic, the undead being is still unwaveringly loyal to the necromancer, but is also capable of decisions, conversation and planning. Many who have fought skeletons in the past make the mistake of thinking that they all behave the same at least, but a Blightmind skeleton will gladly set up traps, flank foes and make other tactical decisions that will completely catch these 'experienced heroes' off guard.
Applicable to all undead, the Tremblewail augmentation is the gift of a supernaturally frightening wail. The exceptionally strong willed or calloused will be able to mostly shrug it off, but lesser victims will find themselves assailed by chills, and the inexplicable urge to rock back and forth while assuming the fetal position.
Failure to apply this augmentation correctly can actually cause the precise reverse of the intended affect, creating a humorous wheeze.

The idea is that the growth is actually new bone formed by the magic creating an identical material, nothing organic. The same concept could be applied to making a rock bigger, for example.

One Man Enchanted Glide Assisted Aircraft
A small device, not much larger than one full grown man. It is built in a way that the top half of a pilot is completely enclosed, with their body from the lower back down resting on the platform extending out the back. The pilot is lying on their stomach as they pilot. The devices are commonly referred to as sparrows due to its silhouette.
The device itself features basic aerodynamics, but the thrust is provided by the removable crystal matrix attached to the underside. This device gets charged by having magic funneled into it via spells. The arcane energy powers not only the thrust, but the internal guidance system and various other devices withing the cockpit. The usual configuration consists of an altimeter, frontal and real viewing crystals, pitch readings, a gauge displaying the status of the crystal matrix and finally the actual controls.
This unit has a decent number of both pros and cons. Some of the pros include very high speed, respectable turning radius, and a small profile. Cons include the maximum charge capacity being 10 minutes of use, poor protection for the pilot, crashes resulting from moving at very high speed with only human reaction times and a penchant for exploding if the crystal matrix becomes halfway damaged.
Each one is made individually, and many owners have customized their individual sparrows to have additional features. Some include a smoke canister, to leave a trail, additional armoring of the crystal core, and in some cases the addition of a second core all together. In this last case, the second core can perform as either a secondary battery, doubling the max charge capacity, an energy source for spell-based weapons the user may have chosen to mount or simply as a very expensive but very powerful little bomb.
There is a growing culture around these devices, at least among those who can afford them. A number of young nobles have died racing each other through large cities, and despite attempts to restrict the sale of them the market is booming. Lords use them to run messages and spy, armies are using them as a fast aerial assault.
How will you put the Omegaa to use?

Vieira Wins Delta Nail-biter
BETHEL ISLAND, Calif. – In the final round of Rayovac FLW Series Western Division action on the California Delta, Darren Vieira learned how to through a punch. Actually, a punch bait, is more accurate and the co-angler from Martinez, Calif., used this knowledge to lock up his first FLW victory with a 3-day total of 42 pounds 2 ounces.
Worth noting: Vieira edged second-place Brandon Cabrales by one ounce.
Paired with pro winner Mark Daniels, Vieira got a first-hand lesson on a technique he'd not previously used. He quickly absorbed the technique tips his pro offered and sacked up a final round limit of 13-3 to complement his first two scores of 14-3 and 14-12.
"I got one 3-pounder on a Snagproof Bobby's Perfect Frog, but the rest were on punching," he said. "I'd never really punched but Mark Daniels schooled me really quick, gave me pointers, let me fish and kept the boat where I could fish. I wouldn't have been able to do this without having him on the third day."
Vieira punched a beaver style bait with a Pacheck Baits Punch Skirt.
Biggest piece of advice from his pro: "Mark showed me how to use the right size bait with the different grasses. I couldn't get my bait through the grass at first. I kept working it and working it and he showed me which bait to use. I downsized and went right through the grass."
Cabrales climbs to second
Cabrales, of Huntington Beach, Calif., entered the final round in eighth place, but made a big move up to second after catching the day's biggest co-angler sack – 15-1. Ending with 42-1, he came within an ounce of the top spot.
After relying on a dropshot for most of days one and two, Cabrales found himself paired with Delta punching Guru Stephen "Bub" Tosh, so he tried the technique with favorable results.
"This was the first time I've ever punched, but I'll keep a punch bait handy from now on," Cabrales said.
Hawk finishes third
Joining his father – fourth-place pro Roy Hawk, in the final round, Sunny Hawk, of Salt Lake City, Utah, continued his upward climb on day three. He placed 10th on day one, improved to sixth on day two and reached third No. 3 spot with a finishing total of 40-6.
Hawk relied mostly on a frog and a dropshot.
Bynum, Shrader take fourth, fifth
Matthew Bynum, of Concord, Calif., held steady in second place on days one and two before slipping to fourth on the last day with 39-1.
Chris Shrader, of Mountain Home AFB, ID also held the same position for the first two days; for him it was fourth. Shrader would end the tournament in fifth place with 38-11.
Best of the rest
Rounding out the top-10 co-angler leaders at the Rayovac FLW Series Cal Delta event:
6th: Rob Larrabee, of Livermore, Calif., 38-7
7th: Josh Unruh, of Winnemucca, Nev., 36-15
8th: Troy Stokes, of Huntington Beach, Calif., 36-14
9th: Keith Adams, of Redding, Calif., 35-4
10th: Ryan Diatte, of Gilroy, Calif., 32-4

millet, the eastern harbour of Corinth, from which it was distant about 9 miles east, and the outlet for its trade with the Asiatic shores of the Mediterranean. When Paul returned from his second missionary journey to Syria, he sailed from this port ( Acts 18:18 ). In Romans 16:1 he speaks as if there were at the time of his writing that epistle an organized church there. The western harbour of Corinth was Lechaeum, about a mile and a half from the city. It was the channel of its trade with Italy and the west.

(accurately Cenchreae ) (millet ), the eastern harbor of Corinth (i.e. its harbor on the Saronic Gulf) and the emporium of its trade with the Asiatic shores of the Mediterranean, as Lechaeum on the Crointhian Gulf connected it with Italy and the west. St. Paul sailed from Cenchrae, ( Acts 18:18 ) on his return to Syria from his second missionary journey. An organized church seems to have been formed here. ( Romans 16:1 )
