It's essential that Nintendo 'win' this years E3 event, and it's difficult to see them not doing so with little real substance expected from both Microsoft and Sony. The big N will be showing off their latest and greatest console, the Wii U to the wider world hopefully in a more fleshed out manner. After a less then stunning reveal last year, Nintendo have found themselves a little on the back foot with the Wii U and will surely be hoping to make a big splash in Los Angeles. Like many gamers, I was left a little baffled by the Wii U when Nintendo first showed the successor to the mightily successful Wii. One of my greatest hopes for this years event is that Nintendo had the sense to change the name of the Wii U to something less... crappy. As a passionate gamer the name Wii doesn't particularly bring up great gaming memories, in fact it reminds me of the dust which covered my Wii for the many many months I never started it up. I really should clean my consoles a little more.Of course names don't matter, what does matter is the console itself and all the juicy components inside. The general consensus is that the Wii U will be slightly more powerful then what the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 offer right now. I'm happy with that, while I expect both Sony and Microsoft to make the bigger leaps forward hardware wise when they reveal their latest consoles next year, the idea of playing Nintendo games in beautiful high definition is one that will win many a gamer over. Arguably the bigger concern thrown at the Wii U is the tablet, which acts as the consoles main controller. I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of the controller/tablet with it's clumsy look. But like they say, you should never judge a book by it's cover and having not held the tablet myself I can't say for sure how I'll feel about it. Now some recent reports state that Nintendo have made a few design changes to the controller so we'll have to wait and see how it turns out.
But what about the games? Well while I'm eager to see more of the Nintendo Wii U at E3, for many gamers out there it'll be the games that should reveal most. What can we expect Nintendo to show at their press conference on June the 5th. Will we see some form of the Legend of Zelda demo turned into a game? what about Pikmin 3? And most importantly of all, what third-party titles can we expect Nintendo to show of to it's eager audience. Third party games were desperately absent from the Wii, so much so that Nintendo have targeted third party developers for the Wii U. But will we see more then just simple port jobs from current Xbox 360 and PS3 games?
It's a big E3 for Nintendo, possibly one of the toughest to as they look to win over less then thrilled (and arguably more cautious) gamers who felt burnt by the Wii. There's no doubt that it's theirs to lose with both Microsoft and Sony waiting at least another year before revealing what they have in store for gamers. Microsoft are proof of the advantages of releasing a console before their competition, and Nintendo certainly have the chance to do the same with the Wii U. But it's all to possible to, that Nintendo might (and forgive me for this!) shoot their load a little to soon. Can Nintendo finally do online right? Can we expect more then just port jobs from third-party developers and will we finally see a new F-Zero game? The only guarantee we can be certain of, is that that they'll probably be a new Mario game (Duh!).
Dragon's Dogma!! It should be arriving today and I'm eager to find out for myself how Capcom's attempt to get a little of that Skyrim cash turned out. Despite it's obvious flaws, there's something about Dragon's Dogma that intrigues me a great deal. It's possible it's entirely down to the combat, after all I'll admit I can't bring myself to finish Skyrim because I simply hate the combat in that game and no amount of world detail will stop me from lashing out in frustration as my character clumsily swings his sword in Bethesda's latest entry in the much loved RPG franchise. Still, I hope to maybe write up a little post on my impressions of Dragon's Dogma when I've played a good amount of it.I continue to play some Diablo 3, though I will admit I haven't had the desperate urge to do so like many of you. It's certainly a fantastic game, but one that's felt a little flat so far. I'm told the higher difficulty levels are where the game really comes alive, but at the same time I'm not sure I want to experience the rather dull story sections again. It's fun, and seeing skeleton bones shatter into a million pieces thanks to my giant barbarian axe is oh so satisfying but I'll have to wait and see how I feel about Diablo 3 when I finally push myself to finish it. Speaking of which SaitenMar#2459 is my battletag and I'll probably be playing some multiplayer at the higher difficulty levels. EU servers I might add. You more then welcome to add me.
Thanks for reading folks! :)

Intriguing piece of AK railing. Don't know if I can form an opinion as there is little to go by. As for myself however I ventured into purchasing a side rail from Kalinka, a Russian manufacturer. Click below:http://kalinkaoptics.com/mounts/ak-vepr-saiga-romak-1-2-slr/original-bp-02-ak-saiga-vepr-low-profile-centered-side-mount-to-weaver-rail-w-black-finish.html
Cant say. Im using a side rail from adm.

I was thinking about getting one of the side mounts but I saw this replaces the rear sight and comes with a rear peep along with the railing so I'm thinking I'm at least going to buy give it a try and let you all know how it goes, with irons and maybe a low powered scope or red dot.
If one has enough imagination and the tools, he/she can make anything work on anything. ct

In July, Elliott closed its Barnhart, Missouriservice center, known as Elliott MVP Services.Mike Lordi, Vice President,Global Service, said, "After careful evaluation of ourservice center capacity, we have decided to consolidate the operations of our St. Louisservice center with those of our Crown Point, Indiana service center; Jacksonville , Florida service center, and Elliott's US Field Service operations."
Siemens builds on its successful SGT6-5000F gas turbine platform with a step change in NOx emissions while firing fuel oil by demonstrating 25 ppm NOx emissions with water injection. The current industry standard is 42 ppm for other OEM F-Class gas turbines.
It is estimated that future gas turbines will function at temperatures 200⁰C higher than those of today and that the materials currently in use cannot withstand such high temperatures. So there is a need to investigate new materials capable of resisting very severe temperature conditions and the heavy load on modern gas turbines.
To establish its permanent presence in the Middle East, Dresser-Rand has set up a new service center in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The company also formally committed to a new multi-purpose facility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Alstom has received a $65m (€58 million) order from the Chinese company Sinohydro to provide electro-mechanical equipment and technical services for Uganda's Karuma Hydropower Project. After the successful cooperation of Bui hydropower project in Ghana and Soubre project in Côte d'lvoire, this is Alstom's third contract from Sinohydro.
General Electric (GE) has completed the supply and installation of three 25 MW, trailer-mounted, TM2500+ aeroderivative gas turbines to generate uninterrupted power at the Port Harcourt refinery in Nigeria. The supply was made through Genesis Electricity Limited, an independent power producer.
The installation of the mobile gas turbines is expected to help Nigeria to overcome grid outages and return to full capacity for refining. The present outages have reduced the refinery's output to 30 percent of its total maximum capacity of 210,000 barrels per day.
Siemens has received an order for upgrading the I&C system for GE steam turbines in units 5 and 6 at the Samcheonpo Thermal Power Station, South Korea. The upgrade is aimed at enhancing the availability of the plant and the plant's reliability during operation, as well as to reduce the operating and maintenance costs for the plant.
The customer is Korea South East Power Co. Ltd (KOSEP), the operator of the power plant. Unit 5 was upgraded in November 2014 during a scheduled outage. Work on Unit 6 is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2015.
Panda Power Funds has entered into a joint venture with Sunbury Generation LP to develop, finance, construct and operate a 1,000 MW natural gas-fueled, combined-cycle power project near Shamokin Dam in Snyder County, Pennsylvania. The plant, expected to start commercial operation in the second half of 2017, is likely to supply power markets including Philadelphia and New York City.
Siemens is supplying two gas turbines and one steam turbine for the Holland Energy Park combined cycle power plant in Holland, Michigan, USA. The plant is likely to generate approximately 125 MW in summer and 145 MW in winter. Siemens is providing two SGT-800 gas turbines and one SST-400 steam turbine. Siemens will also provide a long-term service contract for the SGT-800 gas turbines.
Siemens has initiated operations at its Clean Energy Center, located in Ludwigsfelde, Germany. Developing the new burner test centre involved an investment of €100m, Siemens said.

Why Use Volume Enhancers?
There are several factors that determine sexual well-being and stamina.
Few of these factors have more to do with the person's physical capacity to carry on and function under the limitations of usual or enhanced sexual activity.
An increasing number of men are seeking ways too enhance their sexual vigor and also look for improve their fertility quotient over the complete period. This is the main reason for men to look for ways to boost their semen quantity and sperm production.
How Does Volume Pills Work?
The male reproductive system produces semen throughout the day irrespective of the fact that it is required or not. But, the body does not have an endless supply of semen stored. Men should realize that once the semen is ejaculated, the semen quantity is reduced and the body requires timeframe to replenish the semen quantities.
This means that the enhancement in sperm quantities requires the aid of an outside source. This is where supplements like VolumePills come into the picture. They are specially intended to help in increasing the quantities of semen. VolumePills have become quite popular in this market.
VolumePills function as agent within the body. It not only increases sexual pleasure and performance by improving only stamina as claimed by most other pills. Use of VolumePills leads to a boost in the quantities of semen produced and an increase in the pace at which semen is produced. This is what most men seek to achieve.
Most men do not wish to stay idle and wait for their subsequent sexual performance. They tend to feel constricted and inadequate if they have to wait. This is one of the reasons for the growing popularity of Volume Pills.
The timeframe required to create an additional quantity of semen is reduced to a very little quantity of time. This boosts their sexual performance and endurance. So a man can follow his wish of to maintain the type of sexual relationship he wants with no side effects or harm to his health and sexual performance.
Is Volume Pills Effective?
VolumePills is a medically certified pill. A team of leading medical professionals from all over the world have certified this product as being safe and effective. This is the opinion from a medical and reproduction view point.
An increase in the volume of semen in a man effectively means an increased opportunity of reproducing as higher amount of semen means higher amount of sperm. This is one of the main reasons for the product's popularity.
Volume Pills and Firtility
Many people considering of having a child are finding a new lease of life with the aid of a totally natural supplement that has medically proven to be effective and has no side-effects. Men who lack sex drive are finding this product extremely beneficial. One of the reasons for diminishing sex drive is reduction in semen production. VolumePills not only increases semen quantity but also the sexual libido and is a good solution for this predicament.
When using VolumePills, one can experience an enhancement in semen production and increase in sex drive.
Does Volume Pills Offer Discreet Shipping?
Yes. Most companies actually do as they are aware that this is a personal matter. They go the extra mile to ensure that you are satisfied with your order and have the utmost privacy, instead of marketing their company name all over the box…heck this isn't Amazon.com.

Secrets to Beating Your Work Exhaustion
Feeling stressed at the office? Read these smart tips from Savvy Sugar to learn how to calm down.
Although it's recommended to take a short walk to unwind from work, what you're surrounded by during your walk actually matters a lot. For example, if you're walking through a busy street filled with flashing lights and loud noises, the stroll won't really be an effective time-out.
University of Michigan researchers found that subjects who strolled through a nature setting saw a 20% improvement in attention and focus tests. However, participants who took a brief walk in a busy city did not see any cognitive benefits. Even spending time in a quiet room with a picture depicting nature was more effective than a city stroll. Here are more tips from The Wall Street Journal to rev up your mind during work:
- Believe in your willpower. People who have a positive view about their willpower and believe they have an unlimited amount of it are able to work longer without a decrease in performance quality than those who believe they have a limited amount, Stanford University researchers found. The Wall Street Journal says, "Both groups reported feeling tired. But researchers subtly suggested in questionnaires to some participants that they had stamina that could be replenished, and this group appeared to overcome the fatigue."
- Don't drink more caffeine than necessary. If you intake more coffee than your usual amount, it might make you more stressed if you're already feeling some tension, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Bristol. Stick to your regular cup of joe, and if you think the taste of coffee will calm you down, try opting for a decaf coffee instead.

Inaccurate Results
I tried this product and wasn't satisfied with the results and then I got it replaced and yet again, I was dissatisfied. I measured results from it several times after pauses of 1-2 seconds, it gives a different result every other time. I also cross checked its result with the manual bp monitor 3-4 times and it turned out to be inaccurate with an error of 10-15 every time. I wouldn't personally suggest this product to anyone.

So I'm breastfeeding, but we've given LO formula a few times. However, the last two times he's had formula, he's projectile vomitted about an hour later. The first time was after we had been on an airplane, so I figured it was tummy trouble caused by the change in pressure, possibly his ears, etc. BUT, two weeks later (tonight) my DH decided to give LO a bottle of formula while I wasn't home and the same thing happened. (Granted, I made sure I pumped earlier today to make sure DH would have a bottle of breastmilk to give the baby, but LO was upset and he didn't want to wait for it to warm up... Grr!!)
I guess I'm wondering if LO is allergic to formula in general, or if maybe this can has gone bad, or what? I know there are other kinds out there for sensitive stomachs and what not, but I really don't want to "test" another one out and put him through that again!
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
I realize it's not the worst thing in the world if he can only drink breastmilk, it's just so much more convenient when we are traveling, etc.

Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman said Saturday that his party favors creating permanent borders for the state of Israel. He did not rule out joining the government, even if Prime Minister-elect Ehud Olmert includes a unilateral withdrawal as part of the guidelines for the coalition platform.
Speaking on Channel Two's Meet the Press, Lieberman said that if he joins the coalition, he does not plan on relinquishing the Public Security portfolio.
"I belong to the pragmatic, not fanatic, right. We favor creating permanent borders for the state of Israel. If this matter is included in the guidelines for Prime Minister-elect Ehud Olmert's diplomatic plan, we'll support it. If it will be a pointless withdrawal, with nothing in return and with no improvement in the security situation, we will not be a part of it."
According to Lieberman, the most pressing diplomatic matters include setting permanent borders for the country and adjusting the border according to the demographic reality.
Also Saturday, MK Avshalom Vilan (Meretz) called on Labor Chairman Amir Peretz not to join a coalition with Yisrael Beiteinu. "A government that Lieberman joins will not advance the diplomatic process and will continue the anti-social agenda," he said.

In addition to the 4v1 matchmaking multiplayer, Evolve will also have a single-player campaign. Unfortunately, details regarding this mode have yet to be revealed.
Two characters from each class have been revealed up to this point, with more planned. Assault characters include Hyde, a flamethrower-wielding psychopath, and Markov, whose love of battle is only paralleled by the size of his lightning gun. Maggie is a quiet Trapper who lets her "pet" dogbeast Trapjaw be both her bark and her bite, while Trapper Griffin would probably rather have Trapjaw mounted on his wall -- likely held there with giant harpoons. Medic Lazarus returns life to the dead, while Val prefers to heal folk before they turn to corpses. Finally we have the Support class featuring Bucket and Hank. Bucket's a robot who fights with drones and sentry turrets, while Hank look like he could have made Bucket in his garage with spare truck parts.
For such a crew no simple monster suffice. That's why the Evolve game masters dredged up the Kraken and Goliath to hunt. Like mentioned before the Kraken can evolve to fly, shoot lightning and otherwise devour nightmares, while the Goliath likes the let his fists (and his rank breath) do the talking.
All Evolve really needs is more, and more is on the way.

Exhibit supported by Google will kick off national tour in Chicago
CHICAGO (May 19, 2014)—They're coming … and they'll be here to help and improve our lives. The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI), is excited to announce the creation of a new national touring exhibit, Robot Revolution, supported by Google.
This exhibit, set to premiere at MSI on May 21, 2015, will explore how robots, created by human ingenuity, will ultimately be our companions and colleagues, changing how we play, live and work together. The exhibit will allow guests to step into a visionary world where robots are not just a curiosity, but a vital asset. Guests will have extraordinary opportunities to interact with robots that have rarely been shown to the public before!
"Robotics is a truly fascinating field—and it's one that is growing exponentially," said David Mosena, president and CEO of the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago. "This exhibit, in a fun and engaging way, helps answer questions like: How do robots work? How will they change our lives? And for the kids of today: How can I get involved in robotics? We are thrilled to bring this cutting-edge content to MSI and to tour it to other science museums around the nation."
The exhibit will feature five areas that delve into various aspects of robotics and offer specific hands-on activities for guests:
- Cooperation: Discover how robots can work with humans effectively to assist us and enhance our lives.
- Smarts: Identify how these machines are able to sense, plan and then act, while comparing and contrasting the ways in which humans and robots learn.
- Skills: Learn about the skills robots possess that mimic—and often surpass—human capabilities. Put your abilities to the test against robot counterparts.
- Locomotion: Explore the varieties of ways that robots can move and how they can offer humans access to places we can't venture ourselves.
- Build-a-Bot: Assemble the basic components of robots and see what you can get them to do!
Robot Revolution will come to life with about 40 robots that have been secured from some of the most innovative global robotics companies. Guests will be awed by the amazing breakthroughs and capabilities of these machines. Activities in each of the content areas will allow guests to:
- Teach a robotic arm new movements to learn more about programming.
- See a robot exoskeleton that helps people increase their physical abilities.
- Put your abilities to the test and experiment with various robot grippers.
- Meet Baxter, a versatile robot that is perfect for working in industry alongside people.
- Offer instructions to a "swarm" of robots that can communicate with each other.
- Get charmed by PARO, the furry baby seal robot, which is used as a therapy tool for both the elderly and autistic children.
- Move the TOPY Crawler up and down stairs. This robot is able to venture into burning buildings, and other places too dangerous for people to enter.
"We believe it is vital to inspire the next generation of engineers and tech entrepreneurs so that we can continue to see technology change the world. Google is happy to support MSI's Robot Revolution exhibit to make complex concepts accessible to kids of all ages and to get them excited about science, technology, engineering and math," said Jim Lecinski, head of Google's Chicago office.
Robot Revolution is supported by Google with additional support from The Boeing Company, RACO Industrial, The David Bohnett Foundation and The Kaplan Foundation.
MSI is grateful to the Japanese External Trade Organization (JETRO) and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers–Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE RAS) for their assistance with the development of this exhibit.

Hezekiah Burton
2 Annotations
Bill • Link
Hezekiah Burton, fellow of Magdalen college in Cambridge, and an eminent tutor there, was, for his singular merit, made chaplain to the lord-keeper Bridgeman in 1667, and the same year presented by him to a prebend of Norwich. In the beginning of the year 1668, a treaty was proposed by the lord-keeper, for a comprehension of some of the dissenters, and a toleration of others. Dr. Tillotson, Dr. Stillingfleet, Dr. Burton, and the lord chief-baron Hale, were very desirous of an accommodation; and ready to do every thing to promote it, if it could be done without betraying the interests of the church. But this scheme met with such powerful opposition, that the debates upon the terms of union were presently concluded. Dr. Burton, who was a man of great prudence, moderation, and sweetness of temper, was snatched from the world when he was capable of doing most good in it; and when his incessant labours and exemplary piety promised a great deal. Ob. 1681.

I whould build a waterproof box around the camera. And a glas plate in front of the lens.
// Fredrik Wergeland Sweden www.flyingmodels.org The Great Electric Motor Test |
Dec 24, 2003, 09:48 AM | |
I flew the Mustek on my Soarstar on floats. I used the palm of a surgical glove to cover the camera - tied off both glove ends with zip plastic ties - small hole in glove palm for lens as per: http://webhome.idirect.com/~ironsidz/page3.html Don't know if it works as it didn't go swimming ;-) David |
Dec 25, 2003, 10:43 PM | |
There's always a chance residual moisture will migrate and condense in an area that affects picture quality or encourages corrosion of the electronics, so the less moisture the better.
I used a modified method of David/Ironsides when flying my Slowstick off floats: I cut a hole in the end of a large food storage bag, then slipped the whole thing over the fuse of the slowstick with prop, landing gear, and wing removed. I poked a small hole in the bag near the camera lens, then stretched it over the lens barrel. I sealed the bag around the fuse, motor leads, and loosely over the pushrods aft of the wing. I then pressed on the landing gear and mounted the wing through/over the plastic. Medium rubber bands in a few places snugged the bag tight enough to avoid serious aerodynamic drag. This isn't a handy or clever way of waterproofing, though it was relatively quick and effective. It survived several flights over two days, including one nose-over. Good news, a Slowstick completely inverted will float on the wingtips and rudder, though the motor will usually submerge somewhere along the process, depending on the gymnastics that led to that condition. See http://www.rcsites.net/karl/aircraft/slowstick2.html near the bottom of the page for a picture of my float setup. Note that the short floats w/tailfloat are not ideal, rather the result of a spontaneous decision to fabricate floats while camping at the family cabin last summer. There wasn't enough foam for proper float length. The tailfloat was too small, and up elevator would submerge the tail until the stab hit the water. Negative maneuvering speed into a brisk wind would dig the elevator into the water. Karl |

Same problem: "Server not found". Browser is IE 6. (But that should not matter with this type of problems.)

didn't know they made bitch jeans that hung halfway down your ass, but Chris Brown probably has custom made jeans to fully accentuate his gangsta douche lifestyle.
Looks like he just realized you can't drive to Barbados.
that speeding out of control high speed rail train that wipes out everything in its path is never around when you really want it.
Part of his probation is that he has to wear a big red "d" for dickhead wherever he goes.
There would be a parade in the drivers honor!!! I will lead it!!!
Expecting to see fans, El douche exited his vehicle astonished to find……
Security better not peep his luggage.
False alarm, he has not been shot in the left leg. He's fine.

: The 'Right to sit' strike called by the Asanghatitha Meghala Thozhilali Union (AMTU) will be launched on Thursday when employees at textile shops in the State go on strike for their right to sit down during working hours.
It was on March 8, Women's Day, that Penkoottu, an organisation for women labourers in S.M. Street in Kozhikode, under the joint aegis of the AMTU declared the strike and gave the textile shop managements time till May Day to meet the demands. Since the response had not been favourable, with some textile managements allegedly unleashing terror tactics against the trade union, the organisation has decided to go ahead with the strike from Thursday.
The AMTU in a press release said labourers in textile shops were not allowed to sit down from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., while on duty. As per the Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, the working time for sales persons is 8 hours. The employees should have hygienic working conditions as well. But these rules were violated in many shops where the employees worked for 10 to 12 hours. No proper toilet facilities were available at these shops. Even the Labour Department had turned a blind eye to the plight of labourers, the AMTU stated.
The strike will be launched in S.M. Street at 10.30 a.m. on Thursday. Apart from the labourers, many social and cultural leaders are expected to take part in the strike.

Same Kind of Different as Me
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentAlthough the subject of the book was not what I expected, I found that it addressed an area of American history that few writers have done. The duel subjects of homelessness and the plight of sharecroppers in the south was a novel approach and undoubtely new to many readers.
I usually run quickly and in the opposite direction of anything "heartwarming". Also, anything written, even in part, in dialect. Also, anyone's evangelically-inclined personal account of their relationship with their God. And yet, I kept reading this book. It's an interesting human story.

Heads up, holiday shoppers. If you're still planning to buy Christmas presents from Amazon and want to take advantage of the retailer's free shipping option, you'll need to place your order in the next two days to ensure you'll receive it before the holiday.
The Web retail giant this week extended its holiday shipping deadlines, allowing customers to order with Free Shipping (available on orders $35 and over) by Dec. 19 to receive items before Christmas. Prime members can order by Dec. 22 to have their packages delivered on Christmas Eve.
In addition, truly last-minute shoppers in 12 major metro areas can choose from a huge selection of items for same-day delivery, and order as late as 10 a.m. on Dec. 24 to have their items delivered the very same day. The "Get it Today" option is available in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. Head over to Amazon's Same-Day Delivery page to check out the selection of eligible items, including books, movies, toys, and electronics.
It was certainly a very merry Christmas for online shopping, which grew 16.5 percent over last year thanks in great part to smartphone browsing and iOS sales.
Mobile traffic reached its highest-ever peak during the holiday season, accounting for 48 percent of all online traffic—up 28.3 percent from 2012, according to the annual IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark.
A large part of that browsing was conducted on smartphones, which drove 28.5 percent of all online traffic, while shoppers used tablets for 18.1 percent of the traffic generated during the holiday season, according to the IBM report. When it came to actually going to checkout with a purchase, though, tablets were king with 19.4 percent of all online sales made via slates, while smartphone users generated 9.3 percent.
Tablet users were also more likely to spend more, averaging $95.61 per order, whereas smartphone users usually spent around $85.11, IBM reported.
Online shopping proclivities don't end at just the type of device—Apple fans tend to spend more on their mobile devices and it turns out they drop more coin when shopping online as well. According to IBM, online holiday season sales were five times more likely to be settled on Apple gadgets than Android-based devices. Apple's iOS mobile operating system was the platform used for 23 percent of online purchases during the holidays, as users of Google's Android OS drove just 4.6 percent.
As the holiday season ramps up, so do the production levels at iPhone manufacturing plant Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., also known as Foxconn.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the company is working its 1 million-plus employees around the clock to meet demand for the iPhone 5s.
North central China's Zhengzhou plant, running at full capacity, has about 300,000 people dedicated to making just the new flagship smartphone and its components — a task that requires about 600 workers for each production line.
An anonymous Hon Hai executive told the paper that about 500,000 iPhone 5s devices are being created every day — "the highest daily output ever," he said.
That boost has helped to knock Apple's online shipping estimates down from 2-3 weeks to 3-5 days, which is certainly enough time to slip a new smartphone into someone's holiday stocking.
And those who don't trust the postal service to transport their new device can visit a local Apple retail store to personally pick it up instead.
Worldwide PC sales continued to decline in the fourth quarter, landing at 90.3 million units, or a 4.9 percent decline from the same period in 2011.
According to data from Gartner, the PC industry's problems stem from more than a weak economy.
"Tablets have dramatically changed the device landscape for PCs, not so much by 'cannibalizing' PC sales, but by causing PC users to shift consumption to tablets rather than replacing older PCs," Gartner principal analyst Kikako Kitagawa said in a statement.
The holiday season proved that, as neither an uptick in low-priced notebooks nor the launch of Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system had a significant impact on PC shipments. Global marketing firm IDC last week reported that worldwide PC shipments were down 6.4 percent, as the October release of Windows 8 failed to boost computer sales.
"Whereas as once we imagined a world in which individual users would have both a PC and a tablet as personal devices, we increasingly suspect that most individuals will shift consumption activity to a personal tablet, and perform creative and administrative tasks on a shared PC," Kitagawa said.
Santa's sleigh was heavy with iPad devices this holiday season, but it appears he also had a few Kindle Fire tablets tucked in there.
According to stats from mobile ad firm Chitika, iPad Web usage saw a dip in the U.S. and Canada in tne days after Dec. 25.
Based on the smartphone and tablet impressions made across Chitika's network between Dec. 1 and Dec. 27, all iPad models saw a 7.14 percent drop after Christmas. The only other device that saw a drop in Web usage was Research In Motion's BlackBerry Playbook, which dipped 0.02 percent to 0.68 percent of the tablet market.
"The tablet which brought the product category into the mainstream, Apple's product has long been the king of the market," Chitika's report said. "However, this Christmas marked a serious diversification in tablet shares."
Still, the iPad had 78.9 percent of the market, down from 86 percent. Amazon made some gains, with the Kindle Fire up 3.03 percent after Christmas to 7.51 percent of tablets. Samsung Galaxy tablets were up 1.38 percent to 4.39 percent, and the Google Nexus tablets jumped 0.92 percent to 2.04 percent.
Chitika predicted that the iPad would return to the 80 percent Web usage range, "albeit lower than pre-holiday levels."
Price sensitivity likely worked in the favor of everyone but Apple this season, since the Kindle and Google Nexus tablets cost significantly less than the iPad.
The Thanksgiving shopping days are done (Cyber Monday excluded, of course), so just how did the major retailers fare this year?
According to new stats from Experian Hitwise, Thanksgiving Day Web traffic was up 71% across the top 500 retail sites compared to the same time period last year. Eager shoppers in the U.S. sent more than 181 million visits to measured retailers, and Amazon took top honors with around 25 million visits claimed on Thanksgiving Day alone. Walmart brought in 24.6 million visits on Thanksgiving Day, with Target taking up third place at just around 11.5 million visits.
That said, Experian Hitwise isn't counting mobile stats in its figures, which does make it a bit difficult to officially say that one retailer triumphed over others for Thanksgiving Day traffic. In general, online traffic to retail sites in total has increased approximately eight percent throughout the holiday week (compared to last year).
As for other tech-themed holiday shopping tidbits, PayPal reported in a blog post that the volume of recorded mobile payments, across the entire globe, increased 173 percent compared to a similar time period last year. Most mobile shoppers on Thanksgiving Day shopped between noon and one p.m. (PST), and the total number of mobile shoppers in general increased 164 percent compared to last year.
Amazon customers snapped up more than 4 million Kindle devices in December, making it the retailer's "best holiday ever," according to stats released Thursday.
Amazon did not provide exact sales data, except to reiterate that Kindle sales were "well over" 1 million per week this month. The company did reveal, however, that the Kindle Fire was its best-selling device, followed by the Kindle Touch and original Kindle e-reader.
The company also talked up the contributions of independent publishers—the number one and number four best-selling Kindle books were published via Kindle Direct Publishing.
"We are grateful to our customers worldwide for making this the best holiday ever for Kindle," Amazon chief Jeff Bezos said in a statement. "And in a huge milestone for independent publishing, we'd also like to congratulate Darcie Chan, the author of 'The Mill River Recluse,' and Chris Culver, the author of 'The Abbey,' for writing two of the best-selling Kindle books of the year."
The number-five best-selling Kindle book was also a self-published book—Catherine Bybee's "Wife by Wednesday." Bybee "was formerly an emergency room registered nurse, and has now left her job to focus on writing full-time," Amazon said.
Even in the age of ubiquitous personal computers, when you can find almost any answer on the Internet, some holiday secrets still hold sway over children (and even some adults who like to recall their childhood). Google has once again decided to add to the holiday fun surrounding the story of the bearded gift giver by letting you interact with Santa Claus, this time with a special twist.
A new ad (below) from Apple, meanwhile, suggests that the man in red is using Siri this year to help make deliveries.
Fans of Google Voice will remember last year when Google gave Santa his own phone number. This year you can call Santa's Google Voice number (855-34-SANTA) directly from your Gmail account and leave a message. And if you want to send a child or friend a message from Santa, you can visit Send A Call From Santa. The Google-run site takes you through a simple step-by-step process that allows you to send a phone message from "Santa" that is not only customized by gender and name, but also lets you add little touches that speak to the recipient's particular style.
For instance, if your friend is a yoga practicing, sushi lover, there are audio customizations for that, and if your friend is a rap music fan with a taste for expensive car rims and "gangsta" slang, Santa will also accommodate that approach. Once you start playing around with the different options, it's actually quite fun. Of course there are also plenty of options to tailor the audio as a kid-friendly message for children, sans any hipster irony. There are also options for those who don't celebrate Christmas, including Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and various other non-specific holiday greetings.
If you're getting an early start on your Christmas list and you're thinking about a new laptop, you might want to leave a spot open for an upgraded MacBook Pro. According to AppleInsider, Apple is planning a refresh of its line of professional notebooks in time for the holiday shopping season.
While the update would make the laptops faster, it wouldn't be very significant.
Citing "people with proven insight into Apple's future product plans," AppleInsider claimed pretty much the only change would be the addition of the new processors announced by Intel last week. Apple would replace the current 2.0GHz, 2.2GHz, and 2.3HGz processors featured in the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros with Intel's new 2.4GHz, 2.5GHz, and 2.7GHz quad-core i7 processors. The site also said that processor in the 13-inch MacBook Pro could get bumped up from 2.7GHz to a 2.8GHz dual-core Core i7.

I am a cyclist. I do follow the laws. I wish more drivers would be more considerate of my safety and pass when safe not just because I am in front of them. If you will excuse the pun,"It is a two way street." Just the tone of most cyclist new stories are biased towards the cyclist being in the wrong. Cyclist Hits Car. So already you are leaning towards the cyclist being the wrong one. Just like Cyclist Hurt By Two Ton Vehicle would spin it the other way. »

DO: Thirty miles northwest of Belize City lies the Community Baboon Sanctuary, a 20-square-mile haven of safety created when seven villages voluntarily came together to protect the area's black howler monkeys (known to locals as baboons). The sanctuary offers guided treks by day to see troops of the monkeys, as well as night safaris to see crocs, kinkajous and maybe even a jaguar.
Nearby, the 5-foot-tall Jabiru stork, the tallest flying bird in South America, frequents the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary, a Belize Audubon Society preserve just an hour from the city, where boat trips explore expansive waterways filled with fowl.
The ruined city of Lamanai sits 26 miles down the New River. Tours of the Mayan site, which originate in the town of Orange Walk, combine a river safari — look out for snail kites and squirrel monkeys — with climbs up the towering, jungle-shrouded temples.

An extensive system of underground, rain-fed rivers has developed beneath the country's porous limestone surface. Travelers can explore them by cave tubing at Caves Branch in the western jungle.
