Asus may have only announced the PadFone 2 back in October last year, but it has already come up with the PadFone Infinity, another version of the smartphone with tablet dock combination. Launched at Mobile World Congress this week, it features far more serious hardware than the PadFone 2, although it comes with an equally serious price tag.
The phone is the brains of the whole operation, as the tablet dock isn't able to do anything on its own, and requires the phone to be slotted into the back for it to operate. The PadFone Infinity now has a 5-inch display with a 1080p resolution, a big increase over the 4.7-inch, 720p screen fitted to the Padfone 2.
Inside is a Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor with a 1.7GHz clock speed and 2GB of RAM, so the PadFone Infinity is a speedy beast. It comes with either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage memory, plus access to a further 50GB of cloud storage through Asus, a service which is free for two years with the device. The PadFone Infinity has a 13 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel video call cam, 4G LTE connectivity, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as its OS.
Once the phone is slotted into the tablet dock, the PadFone Infinity becomes a tablet, complete with a 10.1-inch, 1080p resolution screen. While the tablet may not have a processor or OS of its own – it shares the phone section's, remember – it does have a monster battery. The 5000mAh cell will power the tablet and charge the phone's 2400mAh battery, so using it won't impact your time using only the phone.
Asus will be releasing the PadFone Infinity in the UK, but you'll need to hand over £800 to get one. It's a lot of money, but Asus argue that a SIM-free top end phone and tablet would end up costing the same, plus both phone and tablet share the same phone bill. The PadFone Infinity will go on sale in April.

In caulonemal filaments of the mossPhyscomitrella patens (Hedw.), red light triggers a phytochrome-mediated transient depolarisation of the plasma membrane and the formation of side branch initials. Three-electrode voltage clamp and ion flux measurements were employed to elucidate the ionic mechanism and physiological relevance of the red-light-induced changes in ion transport. Current-voltage analyses indicated that ion channels permeable to K+ and Ca2+ are activated at the peak of the depolarisation. Calcium influx evoked by red light coincided with the depolarisation in various conditions, suggesting the involvement of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Respective K+ fluxes showed a small initial influx followed by a dramatic transient efflux. A role of anion channels in the depolarising current is suggested by the finding that Cl− efflux was also increased after red light irradiation. In the presence of tetraethylammonium (10 mM) or niflumic acid (1 μM), which block the red-light-induced membrane depolarisation and ion fluxes, the red-light-promoted formation of side branch initials was also abolished. Lanthanum (100 μM), which inhibits K+ fluxes and part of the initial Ca2+ influx activated by red light, reduced the development of side branch initials in red light by 50%. The results suggest a causal link between the red-light-induced ion fluxes and the physiological response. The sequence of events underlying the red-light-triggered membrane potential transient and the role of ion transport in stimulus-response coupling are discussed in terms of a new model for ion-channel interaction at the plasma membrane during signalling.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowOn day one, the homemade pasta in Lucca's lasagna is made from scratch and left to rest. The following day, the lasagna ($17) is constructed with veal Bolognese and mozzarella and parmigiano reggiano. They let it set, owner Vince Belcastro explained, "so that the lasagna won't fall apart." On the third and final day, what lands at your table are seven layers of homemade pasta sheets coated with sweet tomato sauce, luxurious veal, and melted parmigiano cheese forming bronzed buttons crusting the surface. Such is the attention lavished on dishes at this tiny restaurant tucked away on A1A. Try also the smoked salmon ravioli ($18) was a creative alternative to standard cheese-filled ravioli. Smoky fish contrasted against smooth marinara flecked with garlic and chiffonades of basil for an intriguing taste. Another special showcased the fresh catch of the day: grouper with clams and mussels ($30). The flaky fillet was lightly seasoned and seared, moistened with a delicate broth and decorated with juicy shellfish. Shrimp Toscana ($26) was exceptional, with fist-sized prawns seared and deglazed with grappa, mushroom cream sauce, creamy risotto, and a side of seasonal veggies. Finish with the Italian pudding was chilled and served daintily in a martini glass, delivering a powerful punch of chocolate and a mind-numbingly silky texture. Prozac for the taste buds.

How Things Fly
The Cessna 150 is a small private plane often used as a trainer to teach students how how to fly. We use it as an educational tool to teach groups about the basic principles of flight, including how to pre-flight a plane, a procedure every pilot must know. The tours are offered for two separate levels - one for grades K-3 and a separate one for grades 4-8. Students gather around the Cessna 150 as an instructor teaches the basic principles of flight. Students have an opportunity to get inside various cockpits in the museum and compare general, commercial and military aviation by examining the similarities and differences of each cockpit. | Photo by Lowell Warner |
Offered for K-3 or 4-8 |

Help me narrow down my list!
Well, I'm 19 weeks now and I've just found out my little fishy is a boy... I'm looking for input and help in regards to my name list. My surname is in my username (I've a first name for a last name, it gets confusing).
Clearly I've a thing for irish names... The fact that I live in Ireland the pronunciation wouldn't be a problem, not that I find it an insurmountable obstacle anyway, a lot of my family have irish names and live elsewhere in the world and don't have any real issues with it.Last edited by iamktchristie; June 18th, 2013 at 12:31 PM.

Well, if you live in Ireland and love Irish names then these names are the ones for you! Matthew and Warren are bland to me next to the other choices on your poll. I love Cillian but not so much with your surname. Declan is a trendy name in North America and I don't think it sounds good with your last name.

Big Sean is sharing "Blessings" a collaborative track with Toronto's all-star Drake that will appear on his forthcoming album Dark Sky Paradise, which is due out February 24. The track was produced by frequent Drake collaborators Boi-1da & Vinylz. In addition to a Drake feature, Big Sean has uploaded extended audio of the song to his Soundcloud. The full version features an uncredited verse from Kanye West. Check it out after the jump.
New Atlanta's OG Maco broke out onto the scene with his viral smash "U Guessed It!" but the madman hasn't stopped putting in work as he dropped the OG Maco EP late 2014 as well as the stellar BREATHE EP. In addition, OG Maco's affiliation with Quality Control (the label that houses such acts as Migos) is keeping the rapper busy and at the forefront of the New Atlanta movement. Now, Maco teams up with Austin Millz for "New Money" off of his Searching For Gotham compilation. Peep "New Money" after the jump.
There's never a shortage of Chief Keef music and with "Voodoo" he adds another one to his ever-growing catalog of work. On "Voodoo" Sosa teams up with producer KC Da Beatmonster where he raps without ever catching his breath. It's strange, which by now is commonplace for Keef, and definitely worth a listen. Listen to "Voodoo" after the jump.
Hot off releasing one of the dopest albums of 2014 (and iHipHop's best hip-hop album of 2014,) Killer Mike and El-P return to 2015 with the visuals for "Lie, Cheat, Steal." It's pretty devilish as the two rappers are warped throughout the video. Peep the visuals for Run the Jewels' "Lie, Cheat, Steal" after the jump.
2 Chainz is taking you to school. T.R.U. University to be exact. And the professor himself is introducing his faculty staff as well, which includes Cap 1, Skooly, and Fresh (aka Short Dawg). As part of the curriculum you get 17 total tracks, including a number of loosies Mr. Chainz has already shared. The features on T.R.U. Jack City include Travis Porter, Mike WiLL Made-It, PeeWee Longway, Metro Boomin, Young Dolph, 808 Mafia, Zaytoven, DJ Spinz, and London on da Track. Listen to it in full after the jump.
Metro Thuggin, the collaborative project between Atlanta super producer Metro Boomin and the always entertaining and idiosyncratic Young Thug, has been awaiting to see the light of day. With the exception of a few loosies here and there, there hasn't really been much in the way of Metro Thuggin. However, this all may change in 2015, as they prep the release of their collaborative studio offering. Here we are treated to two cuts in "Speed Racer" and "Warrior." Listen to both after the jump!
After dropping "Bodies on the Ground" last December Fredo Santana returns to 2015 with "Bricks" an autotune-drenched cut. But if autotune isn't your thing and you're not feeling Fredo's movement then peep the awesome cover art above. That's Bobby Hill (from King of the Hill) with Fredo Santana's signature tattoos. I guess that's the only takeaway from this. Oh well. Peep Fredo Santana's "Bricks" after the jump. Or just stare at that hilariously rad cover art above. Whatever you want.
Guess who's back? Fashawn, in case you haven't read the title. After dropping his FASH-ionably Late mixtape (with The Alchemist) last year Fashawn returns in 2015 with his forthcoming album The Ecology. Check out "Guess Who's Back" after the jump and be on the lookout for The Ecology February 24th.
Travi$ Scott is dropping some new heat for you in 2015, as he's scheduled to release his anticipated debut album Rodeo. Along with "Nothing But Net" (featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR) he is sharing "High Fashion" featuring Future and production by Metro Boomin, Southside and WondaGurl. Check it out after the jump.
How are you spending your Monday? Me, you ask? Trapped inside my apartment courtesy of this blizzard currently reeking supreme havoc on my city. Thankfully I am keeping busy bumping tunes and stuffing my fat face with pizza and coffee. And I'm in additional luck because heavyweight producer Carnage is fittingly dropping this new banger featuring A$AP Ferg, Rich the Kid and Lil Uzi Vert. Why does this new song indict luck? Because when you're suffering from cabin fever there is no cure better than a good ol' banger that'll keep you entertained for hours. Peep Carnage's "WDYW" featuring A$AP Ferg, Rich the Kid and Lil Uzi Vert after the jump!
Cozz' Dreamville project Cozz & Effect was one of 2014's dopest releases and now the West Coast spitter is sharing the visuals for his "I'm Tha Man" cut. Check it out after the jump.
Still no Tha Carter V, but that isn't stopping Weezy from dropping new heat. First Lil Wayne apologized by sharing Sorry 4 the Wait 2 earlier in the week and now he's sharing his much hyped collaboration with Atlanta's Migos. "Amazing Amy" is produced by London on da Track. Listen after the jump.
DJ Mustard goes ahead and remixes Ty Dolla $ign's Diplo and DJ Dahi produced "Stand For." Listen to DJ Mustard's take on "Stand For" after the jump.
Los Angeles rapper Mani Coolin' teams up with Dreamville's Cozz for "Free My Mind." And although it's Cozz' name that may have you clicking play don't sleep on Mani Coolin', who delivers a skillful performance. Check out Mani Coolin's "Free My Mind" featuring Cozz after the jump and be on the lookout for Mani's new project Hope4TheYouth.
Dreamville's Bas links up with producer Jay Kurzweil for "Wilt Week" off L.A. Leakers' 2015 Draft Picks mixtape. Check it out after the jump.

Images of Android 4.4 KitKat leak, show off redesigned interface [Rumor]
Posted By Enrique Manalang On September 24, 2013 @ 7:35 AM In Android | 1 Comment
Despite already being announced, we still don't know when Android 4.4 KitKat will arrive or what it will look like when it does. But if these leaked images are the real deal, we might just have a sneak peek at the latter.
The pictures show off a very similar-looking interface in terms of functionality, but it looks like KitKat will be bringing with it a new, flatter design to Android — much like Google's recently redesigned logo [2]. The dialer in particular looks much cleaner and flatter, and the status bar along with many of the icons have received some tweaks.
Google's separate mobile apps already feature this new aesthetic, so it would make sense that they would unify the design of their operating system to match its current offerings.

Exploring the Relations Between Motives and Traits: The Case of Narcissism
- Robert A. Emmons
- … show all 1 hide
Personality psychology has never suffered from a shortage of theoretical constructs. Terms such as motive, trait, value, wish, attitude, goal, belief, schema, and need represent a mere sampling of the conceptual units that have been employed in the pursuit of understanding the human personality. Of these, motives and traits have clearly received the lion's share of the attention, and most personologists would agree that these two are the primary tools existing in our conceptual armamentarium with which to attack emerging issues in personality. One of the emerging issues confronting the field today is mapping the conceptual and empirical relationships between trait-based and motive-based structures. The purposes of this chapter are to address the issues involved in this mapping, and to provide an example of how it may be possible to address the interrelations between these units of analysis empirically.

Gentler-Rousing Alarm Clocks
Features like chimes or daylight simulators can be a smoother way to start the day
By The Good Housekeeping Institute
Digital Zen Bamboo B Tone, Now & Zen ($110)
Get a Zen start to the day with this unique clock that has an acoustic chime to gradually ring you out of bed. Some testers found the chimes too subtle, so if you are a heavy sleeper this is not for you. The clock and chime sit in a small wooden box that can be easily stowed away. Also has battery backup. (now-zen.com)
Philip Friedman
Sun Alarm Ultima SA-2008, Soleil ($90)
The Soleil peacefully wakes you with a gradually brightening light to simulate a sunrise and was the top scorer in this category. Our testers found it preferable to being jolted from their sleep, but those who are less light-sensitive (or inclined to burying their faces under the covers) might snooze right through it, unless they also set the included AM/FM radio alarm. Also has battery backup. Note: The company aced our customer service test. (soleilsunalarm.com)
Philip Friedman
The Authentic Sound Oasis Machine 71516, Hammacher Schlemmer ($60)
Simple to set, this machine plays six soft sounds (rain, surf, summer night, stream, wind, and white noise) to help you wake up or drift off to sleep gently. One complaint: There's no backlight, making the time hard to see in the dark. Also has battery backup. (hammacher.com)
Philip Friedman
SoundSpa Premier SS-5000, HoMedics ($40)
Another sound-machine/clock hybrid, this one includes an indoor-outdoor thermometer. Its dual alarms allow radio or beeping wake-up, and it has a time projector — a lot of features for such a low price. On the downside, the sound quality was average, and the company scored low for customer service on our test. The clock also has battery backup. (homedics.com)
Philip Friedman
EZWake Digital SunRise Clock 88650, BioBrite ($90)
Testers found this dawn simulator slightly harder to program than the Soleil Sun Alarm Ultimate. Its other features include a gradual sunset function, and it can be used as a nightlight. Some testers didn't like the looks of its bulbous globe and green plastic base. It also lacks battery backup. Note: The customer service we received was excellent. (biobrite.com)
Philip Friedman
The Peaceful Progression Wake-Up Clock 70460, Hammacher Schlemmer ($50)
Not just a dawn simulator, this clock also has nature sounds and aromatherapy to ease you into your morning. But be aware that it's not for everyone, especially the olfactory-sensitive (one tester was especially put off). Also, the snooze button on our sample popped off during our durability test; it was easily replaced and didn't affect the functionality of the unit. The clock also has battery backup. (hammacher.com)
Philip Friedman
Electronic Wind Chime Alarm Clock - 10 Chimes PI-7010, Princess International ($20)
A unique way to wake up: The alarm triggers the chimes to start ringing. However, its overall ease-of-use score was middling, with setting the time particularly difficult. Our unit suffered a broken LCD screen in our durability test. This clock also has battery backup, and top-notch company customer service. (giftsandgadgetsonline.com)
Philip Friedman
Equity Mood Clock 30150 ($17)
For the kid or the kid at heart, this little cube lights up in seven different colors, or all in sequence. The basic buzzer alarm earned satisfactory marks on ease of use and performance. (equitytime.com)

Maurice Jones-Drew skipping OTAs
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Maurice Jones-Drew was a no-show again.
The Jacksonville Jaguars running back skipped the first day of organized team activities Tuesday, and coach Mike Mularkey said the three-time Pro Bowler wants a contract extension.
"I wish he was here. He knows we wish he was here. His teammates have talked to him about it. It's a personal decision. There's nothing I can do about it.
" -- Mike Mularkey, on Maurice Jones-Drew's absence from OTAs
"He's talked about trying to get an extension for his contract, which I think everybody's aware of," Mularkey said. "I'm on the coaching end of those matters. I talk to him about football and what I can do for him on the field and in the locker room."
Jones-Drew is scheduled to make $4.45 million this season, considerably less than other top tailbacks like Chris Johnson, Arian Foster and Marshawn Lynch.
Since the workouts are voluntary and Jones-Drew has stayed away before, it's not a huge concern. But the Jaguars would like to have their best offensive player in attendance to get acquainted with a new coaching staff and new playbook.
"It's all voluntary," Mularkey said. "I wish he was here. He knows we wish he was here. His teammates have talked to him about it. It's a personal decision. There's nothing I can do about it. I think if I spend a lot of energy on worrying about that, it's not going to go in a good direction for the guys that are here. And I want to show them that positive energy that I have and I don't want to let anything be a distraction from the guys that are here. He'll catch up when he comes back in."
Jones-Drew hasn't worked out in Jacksonville the last three years. He missed OTAs in 2010 to train on the West Coast, and the NFL lockout canceled offseason training sessions last year.
Nonetheless, it hasn't slowed him down. Jones-Drew led the NFL in rushing last season, gaining 1,606 yards for the league's worst offense and making his third consecutive Pro Bowl. He has two years remaining on a five-year deal worth $31 million that he signed in 2009.
Jones-Drew is entering his seventh season. He has 6,854 yards rushing, 2,473 yards receiving and 74 total touchdowns. He carried a career-high 343 times last season, averaging 4.7 yards even though defenses knew he was the focal point of Jacksonville's offense.
AFC South blog
ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.
It makes sense that he would want a new deal after a career year. Plus, he's considered underpaid compared to some of the league's other top backs. Johnson is getting $13.5 million annually. Foster is making $8.7 million a year. And Lynch is earning $7.75 annually. St. Louis' Steven Jackson, Carolina's DeAngelo Williams and Minnesota's Adrian Peterson also make more than Jones-Drew.
Jones-Drew wasn't the only player absent Tuesday.
Kicker Josh Scobee is skipping workouts while awaiting a new contract. The Jaguars placed the franchise tag on Scobee in March, but he has declined to sign the one-year tender worth $2.88 million.
Scobee and the team want to work out a long-term deal, but the sides have made little progress.
Mularkey, meanwhile, refuses to let the absences bother him. He said those things took their toll on him during his two years in Buffalo.
"I let little things that I had no control over suck the energy out of me, and, really, at this job, you've got to have a high energy tank," Mularkey said. "I'm not going to let that happen this time around. There's just things you learn that you have complete control over and some you don't. No matter how you worry about it, how you handle it, there's nothing you can do about it.
"Again, these guys got to see you up there with good energy, positive energy and nothing distracting me from that."

"The Prince of Salsa" Luis Enrique's Miami Home Burglarized
"It's a very strange feeling knowing that a stranger has entered the most sacred thing you have that is your home," Enrique said in the statement.
The burglar made off with thousands of dollars in cash, jewelry, and some sentimental personal items.
"I have to say I'm very fortunate because if I was there, alone or with my son, it would have been a terrible incident," he said. "I thank God that nothing worse happened."
In fact, the multiple Latin Grammy winner seems to be taking a rather zen approach to the whole affair.
"Materials do not matter and can be replenished in some way. The real value is that of life. There are also people who have been through a lot worse situations than this, so I have to be grateful."
We guess it's really hard to stay mad when you make your living playing salsa music.
The statement didn't mention what part of Miami his home is in, which is probably a smart thing considering he'll be traveling to Washington D.C. next month to perform at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus event and probably doesn't want any more unexpected visitors while he's away.

Intrinsic Material Color
Name: Joshua T. Status: other Grade: other Location: VA Country: N/A Date: 4/11/2005
What is the physical property of an object or substance that produces its color? I understand the process of light reflection and absorption, but what exactly about the object causes light to reflect at a certain wavelength?
Usually it is the converse, Joshua. The absorptions are selective. The reflection is broad-band.
Flat-colored objects try to reflect light over the whole visible spectrum, but that reflection is distributed over a surface layer of some depth, and may be preempted by a strong absorption within that depth.
Imagine clear resin packed full of sparkly but very fine sand.
If there is no absorption (i.e., the resin is perfectly clear), the object is white. The object is filled with trapped light bouncing around amongst the sand particles. (It partly reflects off each surface of each grain, because the clear sand has a different index of refraction than the clear resin.) The sand eventually reflects all the light back out.
As one adds absorption at all wavelengths (i.e., the resin is dyed clear but dark like smoky-quartz), the object fades to gray then black. There is a competition between the "scattering length" and the "absorption length". Whichever is shorter dominates. Percentage splits like gray happen when the two lengths are similar.
Often an absorption is resonant, frequency-selective, like a clear-color in the resin. A pale purple dye absorbs green most, so the red and blue make it through stronger. Red light +Blue light = perceived color magenta. At the selective absorption wavelength, less of the light survives until it escapes to be seen by the eye. The wavelengths less absorbed then dominate the color we perceive. Filled with sand, it would become a flat purplish-pink. Increasing the concentration of the purple dye, it could become darker flat purple.
Color-selective reflections happen too, but are less common and tend to look special to our eyes. Things like opals, mother-of-pearl, and many iridescent animal colors are caused by periodic ripples in the index of refraction within an otherwise clear substance. One faint index-variation (ripple) reflects very little light, but if there are many successive ripples with regular spacing, the reflections add up favorably for wavelengths having one wave-length difference between successive reflections. That tends to mean the ripples are some multiple of half a wavelength apart. However the colors tend to change with viewing angle, because the lengths of the light-ray paths change with viewing angle.
Metallic colors (meaning shiny blue aluminum, not metal-flake paint) have only one reflection, that at the silvery surface of the metal. Over the metal is a colored clear-coat of any convenient substance. Naturally, if light goes through the clear-coat at a shallow angle, it is traveling farther in the absorbing medium, and more of it is absorbed. This is part of why foxy auto paint-jobs sometimes look darker around the edges and glow a little brighter in the middle. (The other part is that the painter may have applied different thickness on different parts of the surface.)
Jim Swenson
The subject of light reflection, transmission, and absorption is a very involved area, but some ideas are straightforward.
The best question is "Why is the sky blue? The answer is that molecules of air have resonances in the ultraviolet. This means that shorter wavelength light, which is bluish, is more strongly absorbed and then re-emitted than light of longer wavelengths, which is reddish. So when you look at the sky, you see mainly the blue light which is scattered out of the sunlight passing through the atmosphere while the red light passes through relatively undisturbed. This also explains why sunsets tend to be red.
Likewise if the molecules of some material tend to scatter (reflect) green light strongly and absorb other wavelengths, the material will look green. Similarly if all wavelengths are roughly equally reflected, the material will look white; if all visible wavelengths are strongly absorbed, the object will appear black.
Another phenomena is illustrated by water which mildly absorbs light of red wavelengths; it takes about 100 feet of water to absorb essentially all the red light. This gives large bodies of water a very light blue-green tint
Dick Plano, Professor of Physics emeritus, Rutgers University
Each atom and molecule has specific energy levels. When a single unit of light, called a photon, hits an atom, it is either absorbed or not absorbed. If the photon has the right amount of energy in it, the atom can absorb it and go to a higher energy level. This is usually an electron passing into a higher orbit. This light energy then becomes heat energy within the material: it is never seen again. If the light is almost the right energy, it can be absorbed but not held. This light is reflected.
For a photon of light, energy is proportional to frequency. Frequency determines color. Blue photons have more energy than red photons. This is why the very hot flames emit blue light. If you shine light on a red object, the molecules can hold green and blue light, but not red. The red gets absorbed, but then released back into the world. The green and blue photons stay in the molecules, making the material warmer.

Jimmy Savile estate frozen after abuse claims
The estate of television presenter Jimmy Savile has been frozen in response to the sex abuse claims made against him, NatWest bank says.
The bank, which is acting as the late DJ's executor, said: "Given the claims raised, distribution of the estate has been put on hold."
Savile's estate is thought to be worth about £4m.
Lawyers representing alleged victims welcomed the decision. They are planning to sue for damages.
The Financial Times reports that it has obtained a copy of Savile's will, which left his savings and other assets to 26 separate beneficiaries.
Written in 2006, the FT reports, it instructs that £20,000 in cash was to be shared between 20 of his friends, family and neighbours. It says a further £600,000 was to be put into a trust fund, with the interest shared between eight people.
The remainder, just under £3.7m before expenses, was to be held by NatWest on behalf of the Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust, the newspaper said.
- Operation Yewtree: Scotland Yard criminal investigation into sexual abuse claims against Savile and others linked to the presenter
- BBC investigation led by former Sky News head Nick Pollard into management failures over the dropping of Newsnight report about Savile
- BBC investigation led by former Appeal Court judge Dame Janet Smith into corporation's culture and practices during Savile's career and current child protection and whistle-blowing policies
- BBC investigation led by Dinah Rose QC into handling of past sexual harassment claims
- Department of Health investigation into its own conduct in appointing Savile to lead a "taskforce" overseeing management of high security psychiatric hospital Broadmoor in 1988 and probes into Savile's activities at Broadmoor, Stoke Mandeville Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary
- Director of Public Prosecutions review into decisions by the Crown Prosecution Service not to prosecute Savile in 2009
Alan Collins, from law firm Pannone which is representing some of the victims, said: "This is good news for those victims of Savile who are taking legal action, as it means that they will be able to pursue claims against the estate.
"If NatWest had not put the estate on hold, it would have meant legal action against Savile's estate to prevent the assets from being distributed amongst the beneficiaries of his will."
He added that the firm was also "actively pursuing inquiries" into Savile's overseas assets, which it believed were administered in Guernsey.
Lawyer Liz Dux, who is also representing victims, said in order to win damages the onus would be on the victims to prove their case.
"They have to prove on the balance of probabilities ... what happened to them and that will be forensically tested, there will be independent psychiatric reports for all of them and they will have to give evidence and satisfy the court that they're telling the truth," she said.
Meanwhile, an MP has said Savile's victims should be allowed to give anonymous evidence to the various inquiries being carried out into the allegations of sex abuse.
Lib Dem John Hemming said he was concerned about the effect of the investigations on those who had suffered.
He has tabled a Commons motion, which says while important that there is no cover up, those affected should be allowed to "feel supported and achieve closure given that Jimmy Savile will not be prosecuted".
Police believe the former BBC presenter and DJ, who died last year aged 84, could have abused as many as 300 people over a 40-year-period.
He is alleged to have carried out abuse on BBC premises, as well as at a number of other institutions such as the high security psychiatric hospital Broadmoor, Stoke Mandeville Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary.
The former BBC TV presenter and DJ, who was knighted in 1996, had been a household name since he presented the first edition of Top Of The Pops in 1964.

There's this friend of mine who treats dinner as a competitive sport. He'll spend all day in the kitchen tackling really complex recipes, not only because he likes a challenge but also because he takes macho pride in unveiling these creations to impressed, often intimidated guests. I was among the impressed and intimidated, and it was only recently, on my home court, that I regained some footing. All it took was a brined roast chicken.
I soaked the bird overnight in a saltwater bath—what cooks call a brine. You can't nail a chicken any better than this chicken was nailed: tender, moist, perfectly seasoned, the skin crisp and golden. It was Paris-bistro material. As he mopped his plate, my buddy was deflated, his kitchen supremacy called into question. The paradigm has shifted, he said blankly, awed by the chicken's simple perfection and pissed that he was the guest and not the cook.
One reason for brining is to impart much needed moisture to quick-to-dry-out meats like chicken, turkey, and porkchops. But what I noticed most was that the brine seasons the meat all the way through—much more thoroughly than normal salting would.
Chef Tom Valenti, who does his share of brining at his New York City restaurant Ouest, spelled out the basics for me: My general rule of thumb for brining time is eight to twelve hours, he said. His all-purpose ratio of salt to water is three-quarters of a cup salt to one gallon water (see recipe), and if you need more brine to fully submerge whatever it is you'll be cooking, do the math. And while you need to heat any brine solution to dissolve the salt (and typically sugar, another standard ingredient), you need to cool it completely before using—otherwise, the hot liquid will partially cook the meat.
Once you find your comfort zone with a salt-to-water ratio, you can start playing around with your brine by adding things like garlic, vinegar, herbs, and spices. But those are just bells and whistles; salt is the real story. Get that right and you're already a winner.

The weather may throw Ferrari a lifeline this weekend if, as some forecasts suggest, there is rain all through. Felipe Massa, the most successful man around the Istanbul track with three victories, each from pole position, certainly hopes so after team mate Fernando Alonso said that the teams update for the weekend was nothing major.
It depends on the rain. It can be good, it can be bad. It is always a little bit of a lottery. We will have to see how its going to be this weekend. But its true I had great races here, winning three times in a row and starting from pole position all three times was a great feeling. I hope we can carry on in the same direction. The last two years were not great, but anyway its a circuit I enjoy. I like to drive here. I had great times here and I hope everything is going in a similar direction.
We have been working so hard, especially during this break, which was slightly longer than normal, to understand everything and I hope we understand things a little bit more compared to the last race and compared to the first and second races. I hope we have an interesting step that we can feel in the car, especially in qualifying as qualifying we were struggling so much in the first races.
Both Massa and Alonso believe the 150°Italia is quite strong in race trim, but that their inability to get it further up the grid hampers them too much.
In the race we always get a good pace compared to the qualifying, the Brazilian continued, and I hope we get better in the qualifying and we keep good pace in the race so we can fight with Red Bull which was very strong. Well see. Everybody is working very hard to improve the car. It is always difficult to say how the new parts will be, but I hope we understand so many important things that make the car stronger and we will see here, especially with this weather, as we dont know how it is going to be as well.
Massas old Turkish sparring partner Lewis Hamilton said that he believes both Mercedes and Renault, as well as Red Bull and Ferrari, could be strong here depending on the efficiency of their upgrades. The other guys seem to be closing the gap gradually. Look at Mercedes, they were very competitive in the last race. You see Ferrari, they are always there or thereabouts and it doesnt seem like it is going to take too much for them to make the quick switch and be right up there with us and also the Renaults are doing fantastic and Petrov is driving fantastically well. I think it is going to be quite close at some point. I just hope that we are able to continue to move forward as I am sure the Red Bulls will do that too.
Regarding the weather, he added: I dont think I have been here when it is wet. I didnt even know it rained here. This is the first time I have seen it rain, so it is going to be interesting. Turn Eight is going to be an interesting one if it is wet, but fingers crossed it will dry out.
The big factor if its wet, of course, is the durability of Pirellis wet tyres, which is generally an unknown factor despite some rain during pre-season testing.
Nobody from us knows how the (wet) tyres will be working here, Petrov said. I think we did just a few laps in the Barcelona test so to be honest I dont know really what to say. We need just to wait until free practice and we will see how it is.
We need to run, to have a clear idea, Massa said. I did some laps in the rain in the winter and also when we did a filming day it was raining a lot in Fiorano as well. We ran and it was almost snowing. The grip was very low but it is better to wait to see how it is going to be here in normal conditions and we will see how these tyres work. But it is not very clear to everybody. Everybody needs to learn how it is.
Massa, the man who once joked after his third win here that he felt almost Turkish, admitted that he will miss Istanbul Park if this proves to be the final race here.
It is a very special place for me. I won three times, especially the first time it was a big fight with Fernando and Michael (Schumacher) in 2006. In 2007, it was a little bit more free the race and in 2008 I had a big fight with Lewis. Its true that its a track you always like to come to. You always have a good result, a good feeling and we will miss it if we are not coming here next year. I would miss it definitely as it is a place that you have some better results than you expected. Its a good place, but well see how its going to be.

Traditional pillars of the tiny democracy's security have begun to erode.
by Victor Davis Hanson // National Review Online
Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East and North Africa. Eight million Israelis are surrounded by some 400 million Muslims in more than 20 states. Almost all of Israel's neighbors are anti-Israeli dictatorships, monarchies, or theocracies — a number of them reduced to a state of terrorist chaos.
Given the rise of radical Islam, the huge petrodollar wealth of the Middle East, and lopsided demography, how has Israel so far survived?
The Jewish state has always depended on three unspoken assumptions for its tenuous existence.

Volkswagen Beetle Transmission Problems
calitri Posts: 1To Perotma: My wife has a 2006 VW Beetle with only 34,000 miles. The car is at the dealer as I'm writing this and they inform us that she needs a new transmission; the cost $6,000.
We never received any information concerning an extended warranty for a transmission valve body. regardless I can't imagine an automobile with only 34,000 miles needing a new transmission.
I would appreciate any information that you might have that would help our dilemma. -
jmargaret Posts: 8I have a 2004 beetle. Covertile that had to have new transmissio at 70,000 miles. Took out a loan an paid for it( missed warranty also-something I knew nothing about). Now- 3 months later it needs new motor! Can't pay this time. Its just sitting in driveway. Please please let me know of any recalls. I have all paperwork. Have all paperwork. Just waiting!!!
ericm1461 Posts: 3Now my wife's Bug has joined the many here with transmission issues. It started at about 44,000 miles. Same thing of inttermittantly lurching and not shifting. Took it to a Big specialist and he was reluctant to work on it, but did do a service of the oil and filter. He said the 6-speed autos are terrible and advised us not to buy another VW! This from a VW specialist.
So we made it a couple more months and finally took it in to another reputable transmission shop that my auto buddy recommended (forget the shifty VW dealer in Dublin). They gave us a best price of $5000 for a rebuilt transmission. i am not sure that even addreses the possibility of the tcm being bad, which from what I have read here could cause the problem in the first place.
I am pissed. My wife drives very conservatively and bought the car new. This is absurd. The car shows on KBB as having a fair value of $6000. We are honest folks and could not sell it without telling about the transmission problem. I found the class action attorney listed before and emailed her to see if the case is still viable. -
dee119 Posts: 2I Just bought a used 2005 turbo convertible and I'm having the same probs. I took it to the dealer after reading all the blogs on the possible problems and at first the mechanic tells me there is no fix. Then I mention the recall, which expired in 2011. And suddenly he knows what I'm taking about. My car stalls and recovers even on the freeway at 80mph. He wanted to replace the fuel pump at first, his diagnosis, but I told him that from what I've read, others have replaced the MAF, fuel filter and fuel pump but and the problem still exist. I wasn't comfortable guessing at what the prob could be. Of course, there are no error codes which I already knew that because I had taken it to my own mechanic. The dealer tells me to try to call customer service and maybe they will help me. I do call the and get a rehearsed answer from the rep so I call corporate and get a very nice lady, Emily Goga but when she calls the dealer they tell her they suspect a different transmission problem other than the valve recalled part! And I have to pay $120 for the dealer to diagnose the problem, she won't take my mechanics word. But that VW in no way could help with the cost because the extended warranty has expired. On top of that my airbag light has come on and they want $600 for a module that has gone bad. In my opinion, VW is ok with having unsafe vehicles on the road. :lemon:
classyirish Posts: 4What is the TCM? I replaced a 600 dollar part that has resolved the dying issue when you slow down and the really hard JERK after a 15 minute warm up. It still does jerk from 2nd to 3rd, but not as hard. VW dealership gave a 1400 price tag to replace valve body and AAMCO gave a price of 1600.
Mine is a 2004 vert turbo with tiptronic. 124,000. I bought it used, title was LEMON, but hey, most of the lemons are finally fixed, right? well, things have gotten better with it. I love the smooth ride, the gas mileage, but in town always has me nervous because of the herky jerky stuff.
I also emailed the attorney that has the class action, I have NEVER heard back from him/them so I don't even know what is going on with that.
I am 500 shy from the 1400 to replace the valvebody. Thinking by the end of the year should have enough.
:-) -
1kylerichards Posts: 1I got the same song and dance from Volkswagen. 62k miles car shifted fine when cold would not shift reliably when warm. Checked and had extended warranty on car for valve body. VW refused to change. Checked on line for valve body rebuilds, removed the valve body, had it rebuilt and replaced myself, car runs like it was new. Very simple fix. Remove pan from trans,remove valve body, send out for repair, reinstall. Fill with expensive fluid from VW and drive. VW has been ZERO help with the issue.
ericm1461 Posts: 3We heard the same thing. Our VW specialist said it worked for one person he knew. He recommended never to buy a new VW.
Went to GMC. Leased a Buick Verona for $217 a month (24 months) for what it would have cost to replace the tranny. Apparently, if the Valve Body has gone bad for too long it damages the rest of the tranny. Talked to quite a few folks on this.
Funny part? We went the VW dealer to try and get the recall honored. They said no. Told them we would never buy another ever. Walked out the door. One guy followed us... Said "I drive a Toyota".
Enough said... -
maw322 Posts: 12006 with the same problem as all the rest, tranny fine when running cold... but once the car is warmed up, it lurches between 2nd & 3rd gears and the car throws forward when down shifting to a stop. VW dealer says I nned a new trNsmission, but it's more than the car is worth-what a waste
jmargaret Posts: 8I've posted before about my beetle and paying for new transmission. Mechanic told me he would never take on a beetle again. Then I started having various engine problems totaling $5,000. New mechanic told me not to waste any more money on it. Prob have another problem later. How long does ANY body think it will be b4 a recall on this nightmare?
thinman63 Posts: 1My wife has an "04 Beetle convertible turbo. Transmission skips gears, gets stuck in gears etc. Same story I have read over and over. VW sent a notice about the valve body replacement but I arrived in the mail after it had expired. We paid to have it replaced...$1000. No real change in the problem. Car has 82,000 miles on it. I would like to have it work right for her. Where do I go from here?
So disappointed.... -
brokebeetle06 Posts: 1Hi, I saw your post #787 and am very interested in learning more about who you used to rebuild your valve body. My story is very similar to yours. Just had my transmission control unit replaced which seemed to fix the shifting issues for about 10 minutes until the car warms up. My mechanic said he thinks It is the valve body but wouldn't know until he gets into it. He recommended replacing the transmission all together, but I'm concerned about ending up in the same place if I buy a used transmission. I Will not buy a new tranny, just don't see the point if in 60-80k it's going to do the same thing. I just want to get this car running and out of my life. What a nightmare! I'll spare the details as so many have experienced the problem already. Can you tell me how difficult it is to do this on my own. Are you a mechanic or a very talented DIYer? I have a friend who is a commercial mechanic and I can use his shop and tools. I am very handy myself, and would like to know if I could pick your brain a little since replacing the valve body seemed easy for you. Like you, VW is no help. They told me the warranty extension for the valve body expired in May of 2013. I knew nothing about the extension. My car has 89k now.
vwbugssuck Posts: 15
clarissawz Posts: 1Having the same problem as everyone else-- hard shifting from 2-3rd and 3rd-4th. Took it into the dealership and was told it was a faulty valve body and would cost $1800 to fix. Called VWA an they said the warranty on my car expired in 2012. Basically, it was a waste of time to even call them, they were of no assistance. I blatantly asked them what all of the new owners of these cars should do, sell it and pawn off the problem onto another person or just drive it until it breaks down? She said "that is up to you." Ridiculous. I wouldn't even know where to begin on filing a class action lawsuit but, if anyone has any information, please contact me.

I have a 2005 New Beetle. I am the second owner and I was never even aware of the valve body having any issues. I got the vehicle in 2010 with 31,290 miles on it as a high school graduation present and now fast forward to 2014 with 86k miles and the bug started having all the same issues as everyone describes. My parents paid for the diagnoses once for other reasons that were supposedly causing the hard shift etc... and the second time to see if VW would be of any help and come to find out they were not. The valve body warranty ended on 9-27-2011 and I got the car on 7-29-2010 and was never aware of the warranty until I started having issues with the vehicle. I spoke to the Assistant Manager at my local VW and they processed a case, but VW did not want to help at all. My car has been sitting in the garage and it has not even been completely paid off yet and I start school back up in a few days without a car for transportation since I commute to school. I just wanted to say THANK YOU VOLKSWAGEN for making my first car and my favorite model a nightmare!! I'm never purchasing a VW ever again.

i have a 2006 VW Beetle. My transmission is having problems. i'm worried that it's going to leave me stuck on the freeway. I called a friend of mine who works at a repair shop and he said, oh yeah, the transmissions on those fail prematurely. It's typically the Valve Housing. i'm going to have it checked for sure. I see from reading this forum that this is a known problem and it appears the VW is not assuming much accountability for their product. I sincerely hope that VW is manufacturing their newer transmissions with better reliability. If Not,....then BUYER BE WARE!!!! Thanks for this forum.

I feel somewhat bad reading about your problems with fairly new/low mileage bugs. I have gotten a lot of life out of mine bought it new in 2001 and it has 251,000km (150,000 miles) on it, is an automatic, diesel engine but now I think the transmission is going ... a least three times, I after I have left a stop, all of a sudden, bang, just like I have hit a big unexpected pothole - very jarring and then it just carries on - I have had a number of other instances but not as hard ... a bit disconcerting, discussed the problem with my mechanic ... transmission .. he said it would need to be rebuilt at a cost of $4,000 and my car isn't worth that ... I fully expected to get another 100,000 km out of it .. engine is great after some initial issues with the diesel and it still looks pretty good other then the grid which gets hung up on everything ... would appreciate comments from anyone else who has experienced this/solutions .. am not keen to give up the car although have to admit have bought a new Mini (delivery not until November) Thanks

The ancient Ghiscari Empire was the dominant empire of the east until five thousand years ago, when it was destroyed by Valyria using its newly-discovered dragons. Since the Doom of Valyria, Ghiscar has been trying to regain its former pre-eminence.
Ghiscar was established by Grazdan the Great, who founded Ghiscar in the dawn of days.
The main territory claimed by Ghiscar lies along the eastern coast of the Gulf of Grief, west of Qarth and south of Astapor. The Ghiscari capital is New Ghis, located on the island of Gaen off the coast. The ancient capital is the port of Ghis, now called Old Ghis, the ruins of which lie on the mainland.
The city-states of Slaver's Bay - Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen - are culturally Ghiscari, although the cities are politically independent and do not hold fealty to New Ghis.
The Ghiscari sigil is a harpy, with the torso and head of a woman, bat-like fangs and wings, the legs of an eagle and a scorpion-like tail. On the Ghiscari flag, the harpy is clutching a thunderbolt.

Temperley is always one of LFW's most enjoyable shows, and this year's collection entitled 'The Unfolding Picture' stayed true to form. Inspired by Venetian fans, the collection centred around panelling, flared and pleated detailing and full sweeping skirts.
As far as colour was concerned, the collection was based on subtle champagne and mink shades which were infused with warmer tones of cinnamon and red. Glamour and detail were added with Temperley's signature detailed and feminine embellishment, keeping one of London's best –loved designers firmly at the forefront of British design.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Now that the fires are out in the Douglas Complex and other big fires that roared through the area this summer, state and local officials are wondering if and when salvage operations will begin on federal lands.
As NewsWatch12 reported last week, private timber holders are already busy clearing what they can, preparing to replant this season, but little has been done on BLM land so far.
With memories of thousands of acres not salvaged after the biscuit fire, Jackson County Commissioners are drafting a letter to BLM officials urging quick action.
"The first think I want to get out is the important of salvage logging, because those trees are only going to degrade to a point where they're going to be worthless," said Jackson County Commissioner Don Skundrick.
"If this doesn't get salvaged, it leaves it at a higher risk of fire in the future," said Commissioner Doug Breidenthal.
There was some concern by the board whether salvage on BLM land would count against the areas allowable cut and return under the O&C Act.

A French inventor has designed a wingtip device called Minix that is approximately five times more efficient than current winglets. The device is on show on the stand of Forecast International.
Minix, now in its second version, is a cylindrical device with helical slots at the aircraft's wingtip. It smoothes the aerodynamics of the aircraft by reducing induced drag and wingtip vortices, and increasing the lift:drag ratio.The helical slots cut into its length work on the principle that the vortices generated at the wingtip will hit the wing at the same distance inboard of the tip as the wing's thickness. As the pressure exerted by the vortex on the wing surface increases, flow escapes through the slits and is dissipated into a linear flow through the open rear of the tube.
An A340 fitted with standard winglets can save an estimated $176,000 per year in fuel – but if it was fitted with Minix it could save around $880,000. "The official drag reduction for the A340 is 1.2%. Minix reduces net drag by 6%. Not only does it reduce drag, and increase lift but it also eliminates vortices between M0.3 and M0.8," says inventor Christian Hughes.And it is not only aircraft that can benefit from this technology; it can be adapted for rotor blades, wind turbine blades and various other applications.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Welcome to the 21st century, Census Bureau to drop use of the word 'negro' on forms
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
February 25th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The Census Bureau has said it will stop using the word "Negro" on census forms. Coined during the Jim Crow days as a word to describe blacks, the Bureau has said it will drop the word from being used on its forms. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Question 9 on the official Census form asks the person completing it to list their racial identity. The second box allows a person to check if they identify their race as Black, African American, or Negro. The term Negro is regarded as pejorative.The word has been on the forms for over a century, and very few black Americans still use the term. The Census Bureau says less than 50,000 people wrote in the word during the 2000 census when they were asked how they wished to be identified. By 2010, the preference of the word dropped to just 36,000. The term was first sued in the 1900 census, replacing the term "colored" at that time. rejection of the term came as early as the 1950's and 60's as the civil rights movement finally made progress. Today, most black Americans prefer the terms black, black American, or African American. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Lenses / Re: Vintage Lenses: Any Advise?

For 135mm I can recommend the Auto Vivitar Telephoto 135mm f2.8. The manual focus works very smooth, the bokeh is OK and focus to infinity works (albeit a bit soft).
Great! I picked up one of these on Friday because it came in a kit with a Mamiya/Sekor 55mm f1.4 that I wanted to try. My adapters should be here tomorrow.
