Your Love Story
I'm a touring singer/songwriter of the Americana variety who likes to climb rocks, backpack, snowboard and surf on the side. I wanted to say hello and introduce you to my silver 2014 Subaru Forester. She's my first Subaru. Her name is Sammy and I call her my tourbaru.
Sammy came home to Steamboat Springs, CO, with me on September 3, 2013, and by the end of my fall tour we'd already racked up 17,000-plus miles together. From Red Mountain Pass down to Ouray, CO, in a snowstorm, to cruising up a sunny PCH in Ventura, CA, to Alligator Alley in Florida, Sammy has become my best friend on the road. She handles my music equipment with room for my outdoor gear, and still gives me incredible gas mileage. I look forward to returning safely from many adventures courtesy of my sweet, silver Sammy!

Insider Tips
Vehicle Dynamics Control: When to Turn it Off
The Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) System automatically senses steering and braking inputs to help keep your Subaru on its intended path. If your vehicle begins to lose traction on a curve, for instance, VDC automatically adjusts the engine output and brakes to slow down individual wheels so you can stay on course.
Some situations, however, are best managed with the VDC system turned off – specifically, when driving in or extricating your vehicle from deep mud or snow. Simply activate the "VDC Off" switch until you're back on track.
Even with VDC off, your vehicle's AWD system is fully operational and the standard viscous limited-slip rear differential comes in handy when you need to free the vehicle from deep snow or mud.
Note: The Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control System comes standard on all Subaru vehicles manufactured since 2009.

Improvements in the new Version:
The new version, 1.0.1, allows the owner's login and logout to have Apple
Scripts attached (Version 1.0 ignored owner login/logout events.). In
addition, the new version can execute an AppleScript when Multiple Users
starts up the first time after machine start.
Multiple Users Actions allows you to execute an AppleScript handler when
users log in and log out of machines running Apple's Multiple Users.
Specifically, with Multiple Users Actions:
1. an Applescript handler is called at the five times defined by Apple's
Multiple Users - startup, prelogin, login, logout and postlogout,
2. the Multiple Users login sequence can be aborted at prelogin if desired,
3. the global properties of the script handler's environment are preserved
across handler calls, enabling the environment to store ongoing information,

Best Uses
Comments about Bush Vantage Corner Desk, Harvest Cherry: I love everything about this desk except the back. The back was so badly screwed up by the company that I was forced to give this 2 stars. The back panel is a cardboard cutout that is black on one side and matching wood on the other...the only problem is that the wood side faces inward! So there is a big black cheap looking backside to it, and since the only position I can have it in my condo is facing outward, it is a huge eyesore! The worst part is, according to the manual, I can't leave that part out of it. The manual says that the desk will become unstable and collapse without that flimsy piece of cardboard. I called the company and asked if this black side was a mistake and they informed me that the desk was meant to be up against a wall. Who are they to decide where it will go? And how hard could it have been to make both sides of the back panel wood instead of just one? The woman told me that I could undo all my hard work putting it together and send it back as buyers remorse, but I had worked too long and hard to make it perfect and there was no way I could have repacked that thing.

Julianne Moore nabbed an Emmy for her role as controversial former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, but the politician's daughter, Bristol, doesn't believe Moore's trophy was merited.
"I don't think she's a good interpreter of my mom. I think my mom's way hotter than that," "Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars" contestant Bristol, 21, told Us Weekly at Tuesday's "Just Dance 4" launch party at Lexington Social House in Los Angeles of Moore, 51, who played Sarah Palin in the lauded HBO made-for-TV movie "Game Change."
"She doesn't have that accent. It's all kind of silly," Bristol continued of "Game Change," which chronicled John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, including his controversial selection of Sarah Palin, 48, as his running mate. "My mom's awesome."
Moore, who co-starred in the film alongside Woody Harrelson and Ed Harris, was well aware of how the Palin family received her role, taking a jab at the former GOP vice presidential candidate in her Emmy acceptance speech.
"Wow. I feel so validated because Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs-down," said Moore during the Sept. 23 telecast, where the movie also earned an Emmy for Best Overall Miniseries/TV movie, Best Directing and Best Writing.
VIDEO: Watch Bristol dance in a gorilla costume on 'DWTS'
Bristol, meanwhile, is back in the spotlight herself thanks to her second turn on "DWTS," where she's stunned watchers with her sexy, svelter-than-ever look. What's her secret? "Just doing some cardio and cutting the crap out of my diet," she told Us.

The team lost by just a mere 1/2 point to Smoky Valley High School. Making it even tougher on the Cardinals was that they had the fire power to have won the tournament, if they had been able to be at full strength. Gone from the lineup was one of their main cogs in senior Chance Boor at 195 lbs. Chance a state placer last year has been a ...

Want to be a better boss? Exercise
"Another walk-in? Are you serious? What's going on around here? We're already an hour behind and it's only two o'clock! Why can't you get anything right?" Dr. Calore flung open the exam room door in a huff. The doctor had been like this all week—or was it all month?
Sadly, this scene is repeated in countless veterinary clinics each day. In these lean economic times, veterinarians are time-pressed to do more with a smaller staff and for less money. Pet owners are harping about the rising cost of veterinary care and often end up postponing visits, resulting in pets with critical conditions and poorer prognoses. Veterinary staff members are putting in longer hours just to make the same pay they earned in 2007. All of these ingredients combined create a perfect recipe for disaster. MOVE AWAY STRESSLuckily, there's a simple solution to help mitigate stress and improve your relationship with employees: exercise. According to a recent study published in the Journal of Business Psychology, working out diminishes workplace stress. In fact, the researchers report, bosses who consistently engaged in moderate exercise were rated as better supervisors by their employees. Surveyed workers reported higher job satisfaction, less workplace stress, and less abusive supervision when their employer exercised as little as one or two days a week. Yes, you read that right: These bosses weren't training for an Ironman triathlon; they were working out for 30 to 60 minutes a couple of times a week. The type of exercise didn't matter, either—lifting weights, running, and yoga all boosted morale. A similar 2005 study of schoolteachers found that when teachers experienced high levels of stress, they were more likely to engage in negative coping behaviors such as uncontrolled aggression, refusing to take responsibility for mistakes, and avoidance of others. Talk about a toxic teacher. However, these bad apples turned golden with a little bit of exercise. When teachers enrolled in fitness programs, the negative effects of stress were lessened. In both studies participants who exercised didn't perceive that they were less stressed. The difference was how they coped with the craziness. Working out seemed to zap their tendency to lash out at subordinates. Regular exercise may also have helped optimize participants' brain chemistry and allowed them to recover from stressful situations more fully and more quickly. Refreshed and reenergized individuals typically get along better with others and are better leaders. This "buffer effect" of exercise helps create a better boss. |

text: India overtakes China as world's biggest arms importerBy Paul Armstrong, CNNUpdated 5:15 AM ET, Wed March 21, 2012Analysts predict India is likely to spend more than $100 billion on weapons in the next 15 years.Story highlightsIndia's business accounted for 10% of the global arms market between 2007-2011Focused on the modernization of its armed forces with the purchase of fighter jets, warshipsChina has become a bigger exporter of weapons as its defense industry has expandedChina and India have been increasing defense spending as their economies growIndia has overtaken China as the world's biggest importer of weapons, with Asian nations the most aggressive consumers of military hardware, a new report says.Between 2007 and 2011, India's business accounted for 10% of the global arms market, according to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). South Korea was next, accounting for 6% of sales, followed by Pakistan and China (5%) and Singapore (4%).Siemon Wezeman, a senior analyst with SIPRI, said India's defense spending reflects its regional security concerns and Delhi's global aspirations."India procures arms in relation to its tense relationship with Pakistan and increasingly sees China as a potential threat," he told CNN. "It also wants to assert itself as a major regional or even global power."Much of this expenditure has focused on the modernization of its armed forces with the purchase of fighter jets and warships, according to The Hindu.Meanwhile, China's relative decline as an arms importer comes at a time when it is increasing its overall defense budget, investing in major projects such as the development of a stealth fighter jet and an aircraft carrier program. Many of these weapons are instead produced domestically. At the National People's Congress earlier this month, Beijing announced plans to increase its military spending by 11.2%, a move some analysts suspect is in response to U.S. plans to increase its military presence in the Pacific -- an assertion it has rejected, saying its spending is in proportion to its economy.Just WatchedChina boosts military spendingreplayMore Videos ...China boosts military spending 01:38PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedAnalysts denounce U.S. strategy to China replayMore Videos ...Analysts denounce U.S. strategy to China 02:32PLAY VIDEOJust Watched'We're building down, China building up'replayMore Videos ...'We're building down, China building up' 02:23PLAY VIDEOChina increases defense spending"The Chinese government has maintained reasonable and appropriate growth in defense spending on the strength of rapid economic and social development and the steady increase of fiscal revenues," NPC spokesman Li Zhaoxing told reporters in March.But China's announcement is sure to stoke concerns among some its neighbors.China regards Taiwan as part of its territory and has vowed to use force against the island if it ever formally sought independence. Beijing has also claimed a significant portion of the South China Sea as its own territorial waters, putting it in conflict with other nations that have made claims on portions of the region.Wezeman said China has gradually modernized its armed forces and arms industry in the past two decades. He said development of the latter was mainly influenced by an embargo on arms sales to China imposed by European Union nations and the United States after the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.This, he said, forced China to look to other sources such as Russia for new equipment and licenses to produce weapons itself, which in turn helped to improve its own indigenous arms production capability.As a result, China has become a major exporter of arms. According to SIPRI, it is now the world's sixth largest seller behind the U.S., Russia, Germany, France and Britain -- with India's long-time foe Pakistan chief among its clients.Russia's defense industry has been the chief beneficiary of India's custom, according to SIPRI, though France has recently muscled in with new deals to supply submarines in addition to Mirage and Rafale combat aircraft from Dassault. SIPRI estimates India is likely to spend more than $100 billion on weapons in the next 15 years.More from asiaNorth Korea fires two missiles into sea, South Korea saysChinese love British culture but will they embrace Prince William?Volcano grows Japanese islandPowered by Livefyre

7:00 PM ET, January 13, 2005
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Shanna Zolman followed most of her father's advice to get out of a shooting slump. She just left out the part about the streaker.
Zolman scored 16 points Thursday night to lead Tennessee (No. 10 ESPN/USA Today, No. 8 AP) to a 72-54 victory over Arkansas, bouncing back from an awful performance in the Lady Vols' last game.Zolman's shooting woes had already cost her a spot in the starting lineup when she went 0-for-4 in Tennessee's win at Connecticut.After that her father and high school coach, Kem Zolman, told her to relax and "just imagine somebody just running naked or something out there just to make you laugh and get your mind off basketball," she said.Whatever she thought about worked, but she says it wasn't someone without clothes."I was mad at myself for saying that because now everybody probably thinks I'm a pervert. It's just something dad told me," she said. "My dad has a sick sense of humor sometimes."Zolman got the Lady Vols (11-3, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) rolling in the first half with 10 points, and they held Arkansas to 17 points before halftime.Tennessee, seeking an eighth straight regular-season league title, won their 55th straight SEC home game and their 10th in a row over Arkansas.The Lady Razorbacks (10-5, 0-4) have been no match for Tennessee recently, losing the previous two meetings by 39 and 22 points.Zolman, usually an accurate long-range shooter, started the first 11 games of the season, but she has been a reserve the last three games.She got on track early against Arkansas, making five of her first six shots. She was 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, two coming in the first half."When they called that timeout I asked her if she saw that streaker at the end of the court," coach Pat Summitt said.A 95 percent free-throw shooter, Zolman went 3-of-6 at the line. The crowd clapped to encourage her after each miss."Now we've got to deal with her free-throw shooting. She missed three. How many did she miss last year?" Summitt said.Zolman missed four last season.Tye'sha Fluker scored 10 of her 12 points in the second half and Dominique Redding and Shyra Ely each had 10 points for Tennessee. Ely added a season-high 11 rebounds.Freshman Brittany Vaughn had a career-high 13 points and Rochelle Vaughn had 10 to lead Arkansas, which used a tenacious and active defense but couldn't stop the Lady Vols.Tennessee led by 23 at the break -- its largest halftime lead of the season.The Lady Razorbacks scored first, but Rochelle Vaughn's 3-pointer eight seconds into the game was one of just six field goals Arkansas had in the first half.Tennessee put the game away with a 14-2 run over eight minutes of the first half when Arkansas' only points were on free throws. Zolman capped it with a 3-pointer from the corner that put the Lady Vols ahead 23-7 with 9:58 left.Brittany Vaughn ended Arkansas' drought with a driving layup 22 seconds later, and the Lady Razorbacks scored on their next possession with Sarah Pfeifer's jumper to cut it to 14. That was as close as Arkansas would get.Tennessee outscored the Lady Razorbacks 15-6 the rest of the first half and pushed its lead to 26 midway through the second half.Arkansas played much better after halftime, and Summitt was displeased that the Lady Vols lost focus on defense."After the game, I asked our players what they did well. They said we kept playing hard," Arkansas coach Susie Gardner said. "When you are down 40-17, it's easy to throw in the towel, but we kept fighting to the very end."The Lady Vols had the rebounding edge, 46-30, over the much shorter Lady Razorbacks, who had three players 6-foot-1 or taller. Tennessee had five.Arkansas was playing in its third game since starting forward Kristin Moore tore ligaments in her right knee. The Lady Razorbacks have lost three in a row since then.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Now that Ryan Mallett is going to the pros I have two questions: Where does he go and what are the concerns?
So I contacted a couple of scouts I trust, both of whom agreed that Mallett is a first-round pick, though maybe not a high one. OK, I think we expected that. But both voiced concerns about a couple of hiccups on Mallett's resume, too -- like his inability to close out big-time games and his body language.
The former was evident in this week's 31-26 loss to Ohio State when Arkansas threatened to catch the Buckeyes, only to have Mallett throw a game-ending interception. I know it happens. Only it happened before ... and in another big game. Try last September's 24-20 loss to Alabama when Mallett staked the Razorbacks to a 20-7 lead, then punctuated their last two drives with interceptions.
"He just doesn't seem to have the ability to put it over the top," said one NFC scout."I'm not saying he's a choker because he's big and can throw the ball. But he can't seem to finish big games."
That could be a problem. The quality that separates guys like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees from others is their ability to produce critical plays at critical times, and I didn't see that from Mallett. Neither did our scouts, who gushed about the guy's arm, size and accuracy but who also pointed out that Mariano Rivera he's not.
"It's got to be a worry," said an AFC scout. "It could be the difference from being the 10th player taken to the 20th to the 30th. It's certainly an issue, let's put it like that."
But so is Mallett's demeanor. I confess that I didn't see all that much of him this fall, but when I did I noticed his body language enough that I mentioned it to our consultants.
"You said it, not me," said one. "But it's a problem. Especially for the position. I know there's been a lot of talk about it in video rooms, and maybe you buy into it, maybe not. But I know some guys have an issue with it."
One who did was an NFC scout who conceded he hadn't seen Mallett outside of three or four games on TV this season. He raved about Mallett's talent, but then he complained about his demeanor and football IQ.
"I'm not sure if he's a real confident kid," he said. "You know whom he reminds me of? Tim Couch. A talented kid who doesn't have the makeup to be great at that position. He may be a good quarterback at the next level, but that body language bothers me. Players don't respect a quarterback who gets down with each interception."
Tim Couch was the first pick of the 1999 draft. Ryan Mallett will not be the first pick of the 2011 draft. But he will be a first-round draft choice. He has an abundance of talent, and quarterbacks with his size, accuracy and talent are prized. But buyer, beware: It can be the intangibles that make a quarterback special, with Brady the best example. One head coach who worked him out prior to the 2000 draft told me that's where he and his team missed on the guy.
Maybe someone hits on Mallett; maybe not. All I know is that there are a couple of alarms that need to be addressed -- and will be in the coming months.

How good is Ryan Mallett?Ryan Mallet while probably most likely either a mild head case or growing nutt job... still has that arm, size and talent. Put him with the right NFL Quarterback Coach and you just never know. Tom Brady was no shining star when he was drafted and neither was Drew Brees but look at them now. Yes I knwo thereare differences bewteen the players in my analogy however the poit remains the same. Put him with the right Coach he grows into the role... he gets drafted by someone like Al Davis and well... he becomes another Ryan Leaf!

How good is Ryan Mallett?"Body language" is overblown, I think.
I would be seriously concerned about Mallett's late-game gaffes though. No matter how good he is, if he's giving away games late, he's not the guy you want under center on an NFL team. It's too much to overcome. |

How good is Ryan Mallett?Two chances to win a bowl game; and out of those two chances, a goose egg. Not a guy I draft with anything but a fourth rounder. How can you justify that when he throws an interception every time he has pressure in his face and has a game to win. Is he a former USC qb?
When you have a disgusting offensive line and terrible protection in big games interceptions are going to happen. And by the way, they didn't lose their last game because of Mallett. They lost their last game because a moron surrounded by his entire special teams unit got so excited he couldn't keep his composure and pick up a blocked punt and run it in for 10 yards. If he does that, the game is over. He fell for no reason whatsoever... THAT is why they lost.... |

How good is Ryan Mallett?Scouts in the NFL are wrong just as many times as they are right. I could right a book with examples and proof of how wrong they have been. Judge talks about the difference from good qb's to great is the ability to close out games and lists big ben, brady and Manning as examples. Brady was drafted in the 6th round for God sakes... and even Ben was drafted 11th overall so 10 teams passed on him as well.
I still remember scouts UNANIMOUSLY talking about how awesome jamarcus russell was going to be. All i saw is highlights of the guy throwing 50 yards from his knees. The Lions drafted Joey "comeback" Harrington exactly where the SCOUTS said he would go. Drew Brees was a second round pick, look at him now. Eli Manning, superbowl victory and all is a joke and as much as I hate the guy, Big Ben is 100 times the qb that idiot is but the scouts got that wrong too. Twenty three teams thought Aaron Rodgers wasn't that great and the scouts had Alex Smith rated near the top that same year ... how did SF do with that pick? Where's Rodgers now? Yeah, Byron Leftwich was an awesome pick at number 7 overall.. way to go scouts. Matt Leinart at number 10 overall? That's what the scouts said. Great prototype NFL qb they said... yeah, great job !!! In 2007 the scouts had russell and quinn in the first round and kevin kolb in the middle of the 2nd. Kolb has more talent then both those guys combined. Scouts get it wrong all the time.. especially with quarterbacks.... Ryan Mallett might become a GREAT qb.. and the more "scouts" say he's not great the more I think he's going to be a steal for whoever drafts him. The kid can play football.... I don't think Arkansas had a very good team... not nearly as good as their record... he was a big reason whey they did as well as they did. We'll see how Arkansas does next year without Mallett leading the way... |

How good is Ryan Mallett?I could definitely see him dropping much like Aaron Rodgers and Brady Quinn did.
The question is which one is he? Is he going to be a nice pro like Rodgers or a bust like Quinn? |

Customer Reviews Good fun but can be challengingFun concept and graphics. The jumping stuff can be really tricky and is my least favorite part but I think I`ll get the hang if it. I just wanna shoot stuff! Very fun but..Overall a great game, I love the graphics I`m a huge retro fan! The only thing I can`t stand is the tilt controls. I`d also like a landscape view it`s easier to tilt the device that way. Awesome!A great game oozing with style. The visuals are great and are complimented by a sweet soundtrack. Interesting premise of shooting enemies that drop `pixels` and using those pixels as your ammunition. I`d like to see improved load times and additional control schemes, but it`s still a solid game.

There's now a much-welcomed and highly anticipated option for grocery shopping in Midtown.
On Wednesday, the Walmart Neighborhood Market opened on Saddle Creek Road, just north of Dodge.
It's smaller than a traditional Walmart and focuses on groceries. The market moves in where Target used to be -- a spot that's taken five years to develop.
"Even this morning, we opened at 7:30, and the parking lot's full of new shoppers," said City Councilman Pete Festersen. "The redevelopment will really help the Saddle Creek area, and it continues the redevelopment at the Med Center and heading north here."
The store will be open 24/7, just like traditional Walmart stores.

sterling silver iris's

Some folks here heard the original SI's and weren't wild about them. I own a pair, and while they are not perfect, they are pretty good. As a purpose-built OB loudspeaker they have very little competition, and offer a different set of virtues from, say, a Visaton B200.
(My SI's have wound up becoming the nucleus of a system for my college-aged son, along with a Panasonic class D receiver. Mounted in small, easily portable shallow U baffles that look something like stage monitors, they should make one heck of a dorm stereo!) The SSI's are very new, I doubt anyone here has heard them. They use a Radian tweeter, which is supposed to be a major improvement over the Eminence that IMO was the weak point of the original. Other improvements include a cast basket, and premium xover components. The Sterlings sell for a hefty premium over the originals, so they'd better be a real improvement! As for Hawthorne the company, Darrel and Diana Hawthorne are very nice, sincere folks. I'd have no reservations about doing more business with them. Bill

One difference would be displacement and hence the slam of the bigger 15" SIs. I dont know if the smaller 10" SIs have the same slam. This difference might be less noticeable if one was to high Pass the wide range or SI at say 150hz. On the other hand I dont know of another OB purpose built 10" woofer other than Hawthorne's 10" Augie. Mating a couple of these to either a 10" SI or Visaton/Supravox/Fostex etc... could result in a relatively slim (15" wide) OB system.
...still looking for the holy grail. |

Thanks for the replys...........l'm going down to have a listen to an original pair in the next month, this should give me a rough idea what the new ones might be like generally......yeah the new sterlings are certainly up there price wise..........though the crossovers are top notch , this is where a lot of the money is....hopefully the radian makes all the difference and takes them to a premium level

Try searching the Hawthorne forum, I believe there are some first hand comparisons posted there. I believe the 10" SI's don't go nearly as deep as the 15s, (lower Q + less area). If you're high passing at 150 you don't need the SI 15's, their strength is their ability to get down around 50 before needing a helper woofer. The usual recommendation is to bring in the Augies between 40 and 70 Hz, depending on room and taste. Bill

How would the sterling silver iris's compare say to a Tannoy 15" monitor gold, which is around the same price 2nd hand?

I just recently got a couple pairs of cheap Pyle PPA15 'pro' woofers (.67 Qts for OB), with the intention of probably getting 4 more.. to mate with a pair of Radian 512/2B ceiling coaxials (also for OB) that I'll be ordering as soon as I sell another piece of gear or two. Just something to toy around with for a while. Besides the cheaper Hawthorne SI, I see this as another one of the few possible ways to obtain a potentially good value OB coax setup, versus dishing out the $$$ for something much more expensive like the Sterling SI's, or a pair of Hemp CO12VOB's (based on the Radian 512/2B, but well over twice the price) and several AE/Lambda dipole 15's or something like that. Hopefully I'll be able to get something really decent out of it. The drivers themselves could use some tweaking, of course (stamped steel frames, etc), and the cheap Pyle woofers could be better, but the low cost of this stuff is well worth it to me at this time in my life. Perhaps I'll figure out a great setup with all of this, and only end up exchanging the drivers for something a little better in the long run. But for now, I think I'll just get my feet wet and start out with the above. Just a thought.

For the mid the Visaton or Supravox or another nice wide range. I would think that the Visaton/Supravox would need to be XOed at abuot 150-200Hz and so would the 10" Augies. Quote:

Tannoys = way lower Q. Not ideal on a baffle. They're better in EBS alignments or horn loaded cabinets.

Consider these three recent clever uses of augmented reality that are starting to make waves in the country.
Japan has always been quite ahead of its time in many ways. The mobile revolution basically happened here, when the majority of people were using their phones to make payments and take and share pictures as far back as the early 1990's. Broadband penetration has always been huge, usually placing Japan within the top three markets globally to have the highest penetration. And don't forget the toilets. The rest of the world has not adopted the science fiction-like toilets you get in Japan, the ones that are operated like the captain's chair of a space shuttle, and very welcomed during winter. All these innovations are deeply penetrated throughout the country and are quite the norm nowadays.
However, another technology that has not been understood and therefore not adopted is AR (augmented reality). But this is slowly starting to change. Below, I highlight three recent clever uses of augmented reality that are starting to make waves in Japan.
The Tokyo Newspaper: Creating an Engaging Read
As in other parts of the globe, the print world, of which newspapers dominate, is suffering massive declines in readership. In Tokyo, the largest ad agency, Dentsu, was trying to figure out ways to make the paper more engaging and generally fun to read, especially for children as a way to enhance their education. They came up with an augmented reality reader for kids, designed to make the paper a bit more lifelike. You focus the app on certain articles and it creates an AR version of the article that is kid friendly that breaks down complicated stories on the economy, politics, and more into a format that is understandable with kids.
University of Tokyo: Fighting Obesity
Researchers at the University of Tokyo created a special headset equipped with a built-in camera that makes the image of your food appear bigger than it actually is, thus tricking your mind into thinking that you've eaten more than you did. In preliminary results, the researchers said that when the food was magnified 1.5 times, the amount eaten decreased by about 10 percent. When they made it two-thirds its actual size, the amount eaten increased by about 15 percent. They claim that solutions like this could potentially work for anyone who is struggling with overeating.
Sony: Holding a Music Festival
In the heart of Shibuya in downtown Tokyo, people who wear headphones, or who are interested in trying them out were treated to an AR music festival put on by Sony. It was created using Sony's proprietary 3D augmented reality technology called "SmartAR." Sony contracted four local best-selling rock groups who created original videos that could only be seen in the AR environment. You download the app, and hold your phone up to the poster on the side of a building to view the concert.
The use of AR will most likely increase as brands start to find more innovative ways to capture people's attention while simultaneously bringing them into the experience. How we connect the real world and the digital world will become more important and technologies like AR that enable us to make these connections will be an essential toolkit for advertisers who want to stand out in what is considered to be a super cluttered environment.

It is painting of a Buddha, Buddhist deity, or a mandala. Thangkas are framed in rich, colorful, silk brocades, but they are religious objects, not simply decorations. Traditionally, thangkas were created on commissions from religious devotees, and were not sold on the open market. Today, some thangka artists still work on commission. Less refined thangkas are produced in bulk for tourist markets.
