California eyes going 'green' despite slump
Although a new climate plan would boost utility bills, some predict it will stimulate the economy.

California moved ahead this week with plans to slash greenhouse-gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and foster a green economy, even as some business groups questioned the costs in difficult economic times.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) released Wednesday final details of its so-called "Scoping Plan," that spells out ways to reduce its greenhouse-gas emissions to meet the requirements of the state's landmark Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.
The plan combines market-based regulatory approaches, voluntary measures, and fees. Key new measures include reducing leakage of harmful air conditioning and refrigeration gases, expanding commercial recycling programs, and establishing greenhouse-reduction targets for local governments.
"Our comprehensive approach steers California away from its dependence on fossil fuels and accelerates the state's necessary transition toward a clean energy future," said Mary Nichols, chairperson of the CARB, which is tasked with implementing the climate law.
But it's not yet clear how the current economic crisis might affect the plan. Several businesses say that slashing emissions will be costly and harder to achieve during a potential recession.
The California Manufacturers and Technology Association – which represents 165 business organizations – says the Scoping Plan will cause electricity rates to increase by 11 percent, natural-gas rates to rise 8 percent, and gasoline prices to go up $11 billion per year under the plan.
A recent poll here by Fairbanks, Maslin, Maullin & Associates showed that 3 out of 4 voters support state energy policies even if they result in higher prices. The poll was conducted in June before the current financial crisis intensified.

Class Of 2012: Young Spaniards Launch Startups
Minube's growth has coincided precisely with Spain's economic decline. It got its start with a â,7/8400,000 loan in 2007 before the crisis hit, but hasn't been able to obtain any credit for expansion since then, so all income has been plowed back into operations and the company ruthlessly keeps costs down. Surviving in an era of austerity is an accomplishment, Jimenez says, and he senses a mindset change among Spaniards toward work after years of bad economic times with no end in sight.
During Spain's boom times, Jimenez recalled, it wasn't uncommon or frowned upon in Spain for workers to quit jobs, and go on unemployment with monthly government payments until they were ready to take on another easy-to-find job. While that's also happened in other countries, Jimenez said the attitude change in Spain has been profound.
"Five years ago, people would go to the beach for six months and then find another job. Now everyone wants to work," he said. "When the comfort zone breaks apart, it changes people. I've never before seen the spirit of change that there is now. I have friends who are leaving big companies so they can experiment."

ATT: Plantraco
I just fired off a large e-mail (to the links on your website) about the Zen Wheels and various info and questions regarding them, and sales of them. One part of the e-mail I am offering to help operate a booth at the Detroit Autoshow to help sell a bunch of these things should be good for 100-1000 sales! But it may be too late to get space! although this thing does not need much!!! |
Jan 15, 2013, 12:25 AM | ||
You are a go getter, and yeah there are great opportunities for easy sales with these. When people see them in real life they smile and freak out. Not with their jaws on the floor like they used to do with the Butterfly and Carbon Butterfly, but to the point that they know they want one of those ZenWheels Micro Cars. Passers by can see how quiet they run, and how full of amusing features, and how precisely they can maneuver around the ketchup bottle and salt and pepper. It's something you can R/C that doesn't disturb people sitting next to you at all, the sound is really minimal. Unless you turn the sirens on I guess haha. Everyone wants to have one in their pocket as a pastime at restaurants once they see the fun you are having. I think you will have a good time showing the product, I think you'll have em 3 deep around your booth. |
Jan 15, 2013, 12:28 AM | ||
You gotta do it now that I think about it. I mean that's a Father and Son show, and auto related and a very unique type of R/C car. |
Jan 15, 2013, 10:12 AM | |
Since the detroit show already started (I thought I had a week), and they do not apear to allow vendors, I will have to wait until March for the BIG AutoRama classic and custom car show, with the massive Toy-O-Rama toy show in the basement at the same time...
I noticed the car can count laps with a check point card that comes with the car. Is this, or can this be linked up and shared with other drivers cars/device to actually create a race, with a defined winner? What is the sensor? a magnet or light sensor? or how is it detecting the check point card? Just wondering if it is possible to do different types of check points, like seperate start, finish, pit stalls, time gates, car-sumo rings, and maybe car-hockey goals. |

New app update should be coming available "soon" from the App Store. It was submitted today - maybe it will go online in 24 hours or up to 7 days from now I am guessing.
New app has a firmware payload that you can use to update firmware of your ZenWheels Micro Car. The new firmware enables enhanced precision steering. I'd like to hear what you think of it. Android App will be ready by the end of February - possibly sooner. |
Feb 02, 2013, 02:38 PM | |
Android being able to do more, means it takes longer to program for all those extra combinations of possibilities... just be glad he is not just "porting"the iOS app over to android, or it would be full of silly bugs. Instead he is having his dev team start over to make a fresh app.
The FirmWare update apears to have come online today. I just updated my 5 Zen Wheels cars. They are easyer to drive at higher speeds now. It feels like there was some sort of throttle/steering mixing done in this version, as it apears to adjust the steering sensitivity as per how fast it is going.... but maybe that is just how it seems. The steering updates more often, in smaller increments, and is now faster. This makes it sooo much easier to drive. It also pretty much got rid of all the clicking sounds my servos were making. I am working on making a custom (4x12 foot) track for my Zen Wheels, and I can actually stay on the track now with this firmware update. (Will post more on the track later). However the faster servo updates are also amplyfing a new problem I have just developed since this udpate in one of my cars, the steering now gitters like crazy, and the more I use it the worse it is getting. I am assuming the steering sensor/potentiometer/variable resistor is dirty on this car, even though it has not been used much. I am going to try to clean it/electric lube it to see if it improves anything. Also, instead of the clicking sound you can now hear the servo motor whirr. Overall, it is much better now. Now I need to find some cheap iOS devices for each car... or I guess android if I wait a month. |

Edgar stepped into a clearing and found a centaur suckling her child. He threw his hands over his eyes.
'I am terribly sorry, madam!'
'It's all right.'
Her tone was scornful, but with better things to worry about, Edgar did not take it to heart. He uncovered his eyes. She was feeding the child like a mare, not a woman, so he felt no need for embarrassment. He stooped down a little, trying to determine the gender of the young one. As with foals, it was easy enough to tell.
'What a delightful little boy,' he said.
The mother smiled. 'Thank you.'
'Do you mind if I sit down here for a few minutes?'
'I am very tired.'
The centaur made no reply. She stood with arms folded and her back legs slightly apart, gazing out into the forest. Edgar was disappointed. The significance of the situation had not escaped him, and he hoped she would talk to him.
The first thing to do was find somewhere to sit. There was no handy log nearby, so he had to settle himself under a tree. The ground seemed a lot further away than it had as little as ten years ago. He felt the strain in his bones as he lowered himself down, and puffed and panted with the effort. The centaur swung her head round to look at him.
'Are you all right?' she asked.
'Yes, I'm fine. Just feeling my age.'
'Well, there's water not far in that direction if you need it.' She indicated with a tilt of her head, and then continued to ignore him.
Edgar wondered whether he ought to have exaggerated his discomfort. Maybe she would have offered to help him, or at least been willing to engage him in conversation to distract him from his pain. But it was too late for that now, so Edgar turned his attention to the little one. He had already made the mother smile with his compliment towards the child.
The young centaur seemed steady enough on his stick-like legs. He had to stretch his neck to feed, and his arms flailed uncertainly at his sides, unable to reach and rest upon any part of the mother.
'Excuse me, madam,' Edgar said. 'I hope you don't mind my asking. How old is your child?'
'I'm not sure precisely,' said the centaur. 'Not much more than a day.'
'Really?' The fascination in his voice was genuine. 'A human that age cannot even support his own head - not until he is some months old. A horse, on the other hand, gives birth to young considerably larger than your boy. How very fascinating.'
'Well,' said the centaur, 'he is neither a human nor a horse.'
Edgar's heart sank. He had heard that centaurs were highly strung, and now this one was clearly offended.
'I'm sorry. I didn't mean
'Never mind, old man. Humans and centaurs have never really understood each other, I know.'
'Indeed,' said Edgar. 'As it happens, we humans don't take very kindly to being called "old man".'
'But you are one.'
'I know.'
She stared at him for a moment. Then she said, 'I'm sorry.'
'That's quite all right.'
Edgar knew already that the centaur was not going to ask him his business. He also knew it would be folly to ask her directly what he wanted to know, but perhaps he could bring up the subject of his predicament in a casual sort of way.
'I suppose I shouldn't stay,' he said. 'But I don't quite dare go back home, you see. I've come from Victory Keep.'
The centaur raised her eyebrows. 'Have you indeed? Let me guess. You're on some mission for the human king.'
'Indeed I am.'
'Are you a servant?'
'Not exactly. I'm the king's chief advisor.'
The centaur laughed. 'I'll never understand you humans. Kings
advisors! Why bother living under a dictator if he can't even make his own decisions?'
'Now then,' said Edgar, 'you don't know our king, young lady.'
'Would you call a human "young lady"?'
'I might.'
'And it isn't an insult?'
'What? Oh,' said Edgar, 'you mean like "old man". Well, no. It doesn't make any sense, really, does it?'
The centaur smiled, and shook her head.
Encouraged by the smile, Edgar asked, 'What is your name, my dear?'
'Xorie,' she said. 'And yours?'
'Well, Edgar, if your king isn't as bad as all that, why are you afraid to go back to him?'
'I'm on a very important mission,' said Edgar. 'The king would be very nice about it, I'm sure, but even so I don't like to go back empty-handed. A child's life is at stake.'
'What child?'
'The daughter of a friend of the king's, barely even as old as your boy. Her mother died in childbirth, and the father died of grief.'
'Died of grief?' said Xorie. 'Can that happen?'
'Well, there may have been poison involved.'
'Selfish brute! What about his child?'
'Indeed,' said Edgar. He took a deep breath. Now was the time. 'The king has charged me with finding her a wet nurse. But they're just not that easy to find, you see, at short notice. Normally we'd have months of warning.'
'You could feed her on other animals' milk,' said Xorie. 'Cows, goats
You humans do that, don't you? I'm sure it wouldn't harm her.'
'You are quite right,' said Edgar, 'but she is the king's ward now. He will insist upon her being fed by the, um
Xorie laughed. 'How funny. Our men have no difficulty in talking about such things. If you were after a human mother, why did you come all the way out here?'
'I'm not sure,' said Edgar. 'I didn't expect to find a wet nurse in the woods, of course, but having searched every town and village I am starting to feel rather desperate.'
'Well, I suppose it's occurred to you that I could do it.'
'Could you?' Edgar's eyes dropped to her breasts, covered by a pretty garment fashioned from leaves and flowers.
She folded her arms across her chest. 'Yes.'
Edgar looked away. 'I'm sorry. I just wasn't sure if, um
'He has a choice.'
'I see.'
'I do find this more comfortable,' said Xorie. 'But a human child I could cradle in my arms, couldn't I? You say she's smaller than Fipp? And she can't even support her own head? How utterly pathetic human babies must be.'
'Fipp,' said Edgar. 'What a delightful name. The young girl's name is Katrina.'
'Silly name.'
'Don't say that to anyone at the castle, whatever you do. That is
if you're coming.'
'Will it be quite all right?' Xorie asked. 'A centaur suckling a princess, I mean?'
'Oh, she isn't a princess. That is
the king and queen would be most grateful to you, madam. And
it is an agreeable arrangement to you, is it?'
'I suggested it.'
'Indeed, but I have heard that centaurs don't like working for humans.'
Xorie sighed, and said, 'What choice do I have?'
I don't know.'
'Of course you don't. What about Fipp? I trust he will be treated well?'
Edgar glanced down at the child, who was still suckling. 'He will be made most welcome, madam, and you will both be quite comfortable. Shall I return to the castle and arrange transportation for him?'
'It's all right. He'll follow me on foot.'
'Are you sure?'
'He can stand, hold his head up and walk,' said Xorie, 'and I happen to know your Victory Keep isn't far from here. We'll go now, shall we? I think you have had enough, my darling.'
She reached behind her and pulled Fipp gently by the tail. He licked his lips, tottered round on shaky legs and shot his mother a resentful look.
'We're moving on now, Fipp,' she said. 'Edgar, do please lead the way.'

Same problem for me, I'll load in just fine but once I start playing everything will freeze up for 1-2 seconds and ends up causing me to die fairly often! Lets hope they fix it soon.
This may unfortunately depress some of you, but this has been and issue for Over 6 Months for many users, and I'd say I've watched about 50+ Threads have been made about this same Issue run cold with absolutely no acknowledgement from Riot. At this point, it's my belief that Riot has refused to respond to this issue, with the sentiment that "It's a problem with the users computer, so we hold no responsibility for the problem."
I don't think Riot is ever going to address this issue as streamers and others play the game just fine. They can just blame it on the user and their computer/ISP/etc.
NA Hentai Prince
It doen not happen with my old laptop. My new laptop ( better) yes (
Same, 30 ping for most of the time, but random spikes to 500 leave me unable to do anything.
I have exactly same problem. All is normal and all of the sudden ping 500 and i freeze for 10-20 sec. Sometimes dc, sometimes just freeze. Happens aprox every 5-10 minutes. Riot pls !
Same issue here too. Been with support and I've gone through their list of checks with no improvement on my game. Even when I was on a crappy network, the lag spikes were at least consistent. My ping will just shoot up out of nowhere. I'm gonna try disabling Nagle since, if it is my computer's problem, this is the only thing separating this computer from my last computer.

Robin Gibb, RIP: Hear the Bee Gee's Legacy in 15 Tracks
"I've Gotta Get a Message to You" (1968)
A hit in both the U.S. and U.K. when it was originally released, this death-row love letter, featuring lyrics and a lead vocal by Robin Gibb, was supposedly written for soul singer Percy Sledge (who eventually recorded his own version). It stayed in the Bee Gees' live repertoire for decades, as in the brash 1975 performance above.
"Odessa (City on the Black Sea)" (1969)
Damned if the Bee Gees were going to let the Beatles outdo them: Odessa, released a few months after the White Album, was their own enormously ambitious double LP, this time with a red cover. Robin and Barry Gibb butted heads over the direction of the band, and both Robin and guitarist Vince Melouney had quit by the time it was released. But it's Robin who takes the lead on its long, psychedelic, Cinemascope-wide opening track.
"Saved by the Bell" (1969)
Following the power struggle of the Odessa album, Robin struck off on his own. His first solo single, "Saved by the Bell" was a ballad — more heavily string-sweetened than even the Bee Gees' own records — but it was a big hit in the U.K. and Europe. The album it was attached to, Robin's Reign, didn't do too well, though; by the autumn of 1970, Robin was back in the Bee Gees.
"Boys Do Fall in Love" (1984)
While the Bee Gees were effectively on hiatus between 1981 and 1986, Robin released a handful of solo albums. This single from 1984's Secret Agent, which he wrote by himself (and produced with Maurice), is a super-catchy bit of new wave that just scraped the U.S. Top 40 — it did better overseas. That's an entertainingly ridiculous video, too: as earnest as he could be, Robin rarely took himself too seriously.
"This Is Where I Came In" (2001)
The final Bee Gees single was once again a collaborative effort by all three brothers, with lead vocals shared between Robin — whose voice's silky tone remained totally intact almost forty years after the beginning of his recording career — and Barry. It's a subdued, relaxed song that doesn't particularly chase the new dance sounds of its time. Why would it? The Bee Gees had nothing to prove to anyone but themselves any more.

Hi, After about a month of deliberation I decided to bring a new friend home with me to meet the family. I haven't given him a name yet so I'll describe him.
My search whittled down the choices based on the criteria I knew I wanted a compact 45 to meet I chose a Sig P220 compact rather than a HK USP compact because of the feel and just not sure I liked the polygonal rifling. Now I can't wait to get it to the range and check it out.
Anyhow, I know you've all probably been ask this before, but what's your choice of OWB carry holster for your compacts? I'd appreciate your input.

Freeride performance with a nose for pow.
If you're just as happy charging gnarly, exposed steeps as you are getting face-fulls of pow in the trees, then the Venture Storm Splitboard was made for you. It was developed on the technical terrain of Silverton, Colorado to ensure it's capable of handling any line you can get to with your own two feet.
The Straightline profile places flat underfoot to provide stability and edge hold on hardpack and steeps, with rocker at the tip and tail for float and forgiveness. A long, wide nose keeps your tip up in the deep stuff and gives pow turns a surfy feel, while a stiffer, tapered tail provides drive and control when you're charging. Precise craftsmanship and attention to detail prevents sloppiness in the seam so the board rides more like a solid snowboard, allowing you to shred technical lines with confidence.
Aspen sourced from within 100 miles of Venture's Silverton factory keeps the core lightweight, and ash and poplar stringers maintain strength and snappiness. Triax glass gives it pop and responsiveness while maintaining torsional flex so you can hold a mean edge. The castor bean topsheet reduces the need for petroleum-based products to boost eco-friendliness, and the sintered base is fast and hard to resist damage from hidden rocks.

While taking a child with a behavioral or developmental disability to the movies may be challenging, the Philadelphia Film Society has created "Sensory Friendly Sundays" at the Roxy Theater for just that purpose. Despite any disabilities, parents and children alike can now enjoy the full moviegoing experience in a stress free environment specifically catered to them.
Sensitivity to light and sound are often associated with developmental disabilities, making going to the movies seemingly implausible. Yet, The film series offers "an inclusionary monthly film screening series...designed to create accessibility for individuals who may have a heightened sensitivity to the darkness, visual effects, or volume of a traditional movie theater experience." Customary social expectations are also relaxed, and gluten free snacks are provided.
The monthly screenings will feature a wide array of genres including international, award-winning, animated, and live action films. The 2013 movie "Antboy" is next to be part of the series and is scheduled to play at the Roxy Theater on Sunday, May 28. "Antboy" tells the story of a 12 year old boy bitten by an ant who develops superhuman powers as a result. His arch nemesis reveals himself soon after as the supervillain known as "The Flea". Antboy must become the type of hero he idolizes in his comic books and save the town from destruction with the help of his friends.
Tickets are $6.00 for PFS Members, $9.00 for adults, and a discounted rate of $1.00 for children. You can click here for more info.

I was just wondering if anyone has been offered one of those "if you buy today you get a x disocun" from Disney? If you don't want to answer in public, feel free to pm or email me @ email@example.com. Buy the way, I am in the ROFR stage in a release deal for OKW. I am wondering how long ot takes to get an answer. Thanks
The promotional offers are pretty standard. If you search the forum, you'll find details on the $10 discount / "Free Vacation" offer that's been running for about 2 months now. I've not heard of DVC offering other spur-of-the-moment incentives to induce people to buy. Their prices are fixed; the Guides (salespeople) have zero ability to negotiate with people. When prospective members tour the model rooms at WDW, they are frequently offered the discounts referenced above with a 72 hour time limit attached. No time limit is imposed on those who purchase from home. DVC has up to 30 days to exercise or decline ROFR. Could be less, or they could take their time.
Thanks for the response. Yes. I did the search and found the info, but I also heard that there were offers which could be available for onsite purchases. Thanks again.
Not really, but we "took the tour" of the model at BWV in Jan of this year and were told we'd get vouchers for dinner but we never got them. Oh well...just looking at the layouts and the decor was good enough for me. Although we still weren't quite ready at the time, I knew we wanted to become members anyway, it was just a matter of when. We had so much planned that we probably didn't have room for an "unscheduled" meal anyway.
There were six in our party and we got 6 "instant ride boarding passes". They said these were to reimburse us for the hour we gave them, so they gave us the passes to save us 1 hour of being in line for a ride. These were nice and worked similiar to the fast pass. We would insert these special passes into the fast pass machine and instead of having to come back at a certain time, it said to board immediately. These came handy on the safari. Lee
We were offered a rather nice sum of $$'s to buy today... We didn't and only got 4 immediate Fast Pass Passes.

LNB Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results
LNB Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNBB) today reported net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $2,410,000, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $4,695,000, or $0.64 per diluted share for the same period a year ago.
For the first nine months of 2010, net income was $4,347,000, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to a net loss the same period last year of $3,480,000, or $0.48 per diluted share.
Third quarter 2010 net income included an after-tax gain of $1,436,500, or $0.20 per share, from the exchange and retirement of $4,250,000 million of LNB's trust preferred securities for LNB common shares. The exchanges were completed in transactions on or prior to August 31, 2010.
"We are encouraged by another strong quarter of solid core earnings performance in a continuing sluggish economy," said Daniel E. Klimas, president and chief executive officer of LNB Bancorp. "Additionally, the exchange of trust preferred securities for common shares completed in August strengthened the Company's tangible common equity.
"In the third quarter, asset quality showed signs of improvement which is testimony to our aggressive asset management strategy," said Klimas. "We still face a challenging economy and will continue to focus on growing our business while managing our credit quality." Pre-provision core earnings* equaled $3,438,000 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $3,965,000 for the third quarter one year ago. For the first nine months of 2010, pre-provision core earnings* totaled $10,810,000 compared to $10,258,000 for the first nine months of 2009, an increase of 5.38 percent. Key Performance Measures Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2010 was $9,498,000 compared with $9,714,000 for the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2010, net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis was $29,226,000, compared to $28,006,000 for the same period in 2009. The net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2010 was 3.49 percent, an improvement from 3.30 percent for the third quarter of 2009. Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2010 was $5,044,000, compared with $3,124,000 for the same quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily due to the gain from the exchange of trust preferred securities. For the first nine months of 2010, noninterest income was $10,591,000 compared to $9,225,000 for the nine-month period a year ago.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

As the end of 2010 approaches we're filling up fast for our next round of courses in January 2011. The last spot on our Compositing course has just gone, so the next seats available for that are now in April. We have also just filled our Character Animation course with Alex Williams so we now only have a few seats left on the two Visual Effects Production courses, taught by Mark Spevick and Dan Shutt.
Escapee Jacob Flint Lands First VFX Job at The Mill
VFX escapee, Jacob Flint has just bagged a job at The Mill which as you can imagine he's pretty pleased about. The truth is, we are too. Having studied with us for 12 weeks on our VFX Production course, Jacob learned all of the vital skills that he needed to get started in the industry right away. He was pretty nervous during his interview but ultimately his skills shone through.
October Free Tutorials
I find it really annoying when I find freebies that are 'for a limited time only', and it's something we've been guilty of with our free tutorials. We've had some great feedback about them, and with that in mind we've decided to revamp the way our freebies work.
Portrait of an escapee: How Nick Illingworth Became TD at MPC
When Nik Illingworth came to an Open Day last year, he was brimming with CG enthusiasm. He knew that he wanted a career in VFX but didn't really know how he was going to make it happen. After studying for 12 weeks with us, Nik was up and running. He finished his course, was offered his first job at Frametore and accepted it, then a short while later he decided to come back to us for 6 weeks of final professional training. He's now Effects Technical Director at MPC and still has the same love for the industry that he started off with. Nik's is one of many stories of CG enthusiasts who come to study with us and that's why we wanted to share his case study with you - getting a career in VFX off the ground really is easier than you think.
Balloons & Zeppelins: Fresh VFX escapee work
Here's my final post showing some work from the courses which have just finished. These clips are from escapees who were on the Visual Effects Production course taught by Dan Shutt. Again these are 'work in progress' and need a little more polishing but you can see they are both great ideas that have been really well executed.
Has the boxed game had its day?
Last week's high profile launch of Halo: Reach, and the stories of gamers camping outside retailers' doors, tell me that game launches have become just like movie premieres and create just as much excitement as the launch of new Apple gadgets.

With over 20 years of industry experience that includes work as a storyboard artist, character designer and animator on more than 20 feature films for Disney, Universal, Warner Bros, Fox, DreamWorks and Sony, his film credits include animated masterpieces such as 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?', 'The Lion King' and 'The Iron Giant'. His most recent work includes animation for the Oscar-winning 'Monster House', as well as 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'.
Quick-fire Q&A with Pixar's Story Artist Matthew Luhn
At the Animation and Story Master Class which took place recently, we caught up with Matthew Luhn to get his thoughts on animation. He has worked on some of the biggest animated films produced, including Toy Story and Toy Story 2, Monsters' Inc., Finding Nemo and Up. Prior to joining Pixar in 1992 Matthew worked on The Simpsons as an animator.
We're in the money
As you probably saw, the Chancellor has awarded the games industry its much deserved tax break. Following Wednesday's budget, game developers that create profitable games will be able to use the relief to pay less tax on profits, while unsuccessful games will be awarded a cash tax credit to reduce losses – which must be a nice surprise for all you developers out there.

Year-end Budget Eaters: Better Projectors
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- If you have any budget left over this year, may I suggest betting it on a better business projector.
I am not sure how this happens, but every year, it does: You claw and scrape your way to December and darn it if there isn't some money sitting somewhere that, if you don't spend, will either get sucked up by a project you don't want to do or get declared as profits and be lost as taxes you don't want to pay.
So this time of year I like to have an intriguing techno idea in my pocket to turn these fallow funds into productivity. My vote for 2011 is to invest in one of the emerging family of better projectors. Today's upscale business projectors are small, light and can be fabulously interactive. And they can put some zip in your collaborative juices, improve the punch of your sales team and turn that wasted conference room into a multi-use space.
Here are three budget-eating projectors for the end of 2011:
Epson Brightlink 455Wi Interactive projector ($2,199)Oh, this is a crafty idea. Mount a traditional, short-throw interactive projector directly above a table. Then set it all up to project an image across the entire surface of that table and allow a team to work together on single horizontal surface. For about $2,200, the Espon 455Wi renders just such a near-PC-quality image of roughly 60-inches diagonal, or about the size of half a conference table, which is what you want. PC and Macs are supported, as are most networking standards. Be aware, Star Trek this thing is not. You will still need to interact using a pen, which I find clumsy. And it will take time to learn how to use the thing properly. Don't expect just to boot it up and have your problems magically solved. But if you want to turbo-charge your brainstorming next year, try turning your conference room into a conference table. It's pretty darn slick. Runco LS-1 DLP Projector ($3,995)
It's a point of endless debate among projector and TV geeks whether Runco displays are worth the tens of thousands they can cost. But that debate will probably fade with the roughly $4,000 LS-1. The LS-1 is a full-HD, 1080p, 10,000-to-1 contrast ratio DLP projector that produces a simply stunning, high-quality image for the money. Sure, the LS-1 is clearly aimed at the consumer market. But the overall image power and the ability of Runco electronics to adapt to different types of digital output make it perfectly suitable for your conference room or sales setting. With quality this high, your big idea will look sexy indeed. InFocus IN5318 ($5,999)
If there is an ultimate business projector right now, it might just be the IN5318. The specs on this thing are off the chart: 4000 lumens -- that's multiplex bright. So-called native WUXGA resolution that's more than even the best HDTVs. It comes serious short-throw options for smaller rooms, including lenses you can change yourself. There is support for essentially any imaging and network standard, no filters to clean or replace and it all comes in a enclosure that fits inside an average ceiling tile. That means this is a first-rate, best-quality presentation and sales tool that does not require the cost and complexity of professional projection support staff. And that means if you are doing any sort of events or larger sales presentations, you can do the projections yourself. That's some serious value. >To submit a news tip, email: email@example.com.

text: Foreign Ministry fire in Libya 2 days after prime minister's abductionBy Nic Robertson. Yousuf Basil and Chelsea J. Carter, CNNUpdated 1038 GMT (1738 HKT) October 12, 2013Story highlightsA plume of smoke rises up over the foreign ministry compound in Tripoli Prime Minister Ali Zeidan was abducted from his hotel room He was released by a militia that he says was carrying forged papersHe calls his abduction a "coup against legitimacy"Libya's foreign ministry compound caught fire Saturday just two days after the country's prime minister was kidnapped and a day after a car bomb exploded outside of the Swedish consulate.The fire burned on the ministry grounds and but did not reached the building. But the flames rose up to the height of its roof. Emergency vehicles responded to the fire.The kidnappingLibyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan on Friday described his kidnapping this week as an attempted coup carried out by political opponents bent on toppling his government. Zeidan was abducted early Thursday from a luxury hotel in Tripoli and held for several hours by militia gunmen before being released, an incident that has highlighted the security threat posed by militias that have run rampant since the revolution that ousted Moammar Gadhafi two years ago."I don't believe that 100 cars armed with heavy weapons can surround the hotel and lock it down and create checkpoints to prevent people from passing ... without an order from their leadership," Zeidan said in televised remarks."...This was coup, a coup against the legitimacy" of the government.Political opponentsZeidan blamed political opponents for his abduction, saying they had been trying to take over the government.He said his abductors identified themselves as members of the Operations Room of Libya's Revolutionaries, a militia group. They forced their way into his room at the Corinthia Hotel before dawn, he said, carrying forged papers and claiming to have orders from Libya's general prosecutor. They ransacked his room and took his documents and computer, he said.The five-star hotel that Zeidan calls home is popular among government officials, some of whom reside there, including the justice minister.His was not the only room they barged into, he said. Gunmen also entered a number of hotel rooms belonging to diplomatic and international missions. Bogus corruption claim?But the Operations Room of Libya's Revolutionaries said it merely detained him over financial and administrative corruption charges.However, the Justice Ministry said there was no arrest warrant for Zeidan, calling the move a kidnapping.The militia works with the Interior Ministry -- a not altogether uncommon practice in Libya, which has tried unsuccessfully to rein in the many militia groups. Instead, various ministries have teamed up with them for their own needs, including providing security services.Foreign consulatesA car bomb exploded outside the Swedish consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on Friday morning, damaging the consulate but injuring no one, the office's chief told CNN.Consular chief Anders Nilsson said he was in an apartment at the back of the building when he heard the blast. A "hail of glass flew through the building."The building's front was "entirely black," and all the apartment's windows and doors were "blown out," according to Nilsson. "We found a hubcap belonging to the vehicle inside the consulate," he said.Eight people live in the consulate, which closed because of the explosion. The eight will remain elsewhere in Benghazi, Nilsson said.In early October, gunmen attacked the Russian embassy in Tripoli, Russian state media reported. They fled after security guards killed some of the gunmen.Russia evacuated its embassy staff and their families to Tunisia, ITAR-TASS reported.Roving militiasArmed militias have roamed the country largely unchecked since the 2011 ouster of Gadhafi. Gangs of armed men have surrounded key ministries, including the Justice Ministry, trying to force out members of the democratically elected government.Justice Minister Salah Marghani was forced to evacuate after armed militias surrounded his ministry in April.Libyan intelligence services have warned that the country is becoming a haven for al Qaeda to regroup and regenerate itself.Numerous weapons left over after Gadhafi's downfall are providing groups with different motivations to form their own militias, government officials said.

Epic Mickey 2 lead platform is Wii, 3DS version confirmedGamesRadar has uploaded a nearly five-minute walkthrough of the upcoming Epic Mickey 2, demonstrating the 360 build and the new drop-in, drop-out co-op. GR has confirmed suspicions that the Wii version is the lead platform. Junction Point is handling Wii development itself, while the HD ports are in the care of Blitz Games, previously responsible for Bad Boys: Miami Takedown and the Burger King Xbox games. Yummy. In addition, it looks like co-op is limited to local play for now. That may or may not change in the future. Then there is the Nintendo Power confirmation of the rumored 3DS companion title. Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is being handled by DreamRift, previously responsible for the low-key but fun DS gems Henry Hatsworth and Monster Tale. Personally, the portable version is sounding more promising than its home console brothers. I've keep my eyes peeled for more info. Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two preview - what's new?

You know what? It's puzzling. It really is just puzzling. The Penguins now basically have a reputation for spectacular chokejobs of a dizzying variety, and adding "giving up a 3-1 series lead to the Rangers" shouldn't have been in the tea leaves, but god damn it, it is. There's a Game 7 for all the marbles, and the Penguins went from looking unbeatable to looking like a tire fire the last 2 games. It's the story of the 2013-14 season, particularly of this entire cruel spring, and we're getting jammed up the butt with "narrative" while our enemies are sharpening knives in the corner.
NBC DOESN'T WANT YOU TO FORGET: MARTY ST. LOUIS'S MOTHER IS DEAD. YOU HEAR THAT? BITCH IS DEAD. HE SCORED ON MOTHER'S DAY. GET THAT EMBROIDERED IN YOUR TEAR DUCTS WITH METALLIC THREAD. God, how must St. Louis feel being asked about his mother constantly and having her death brought up repeatedly on national television? There is really a point at which this becomes distasteful.
Anyway, the Penguins managed to score their only goal of the game when Sutter was able to deflect a puck off of Kreider (I think).
Not even going to fact check that because it's meaningless. This goal was proof that every living thing dies alone.
The Rangers scored two more and the Penguins couldn't beat Lundqvist. Really. That's literally all that happened.
Well, no. Everyone also acted like little children. Crosby slewfooted somebody. Lundqvist squirted water or something. There was shouting and pushing and silliness. You know what it's like watching a frustrated hockey team just dig themselves deeper and deeper. They got four power plays, at least two of which were alarmingly timely, but absolutely nothing happened.
just watch and let your feelings overwhelm you. Going to purgatory, or even hell, doesn't feel like fire and brimstone or being eternally trapped, it basically feels like slipping off to shameful sleep.
Mats Zuccarello can be such a cock stain. We want to publish a 300-page treatise on the ways in which Mats Zuccarello is a cock stain, but to be fair we'd have to publish similarly long documents about everyone else on both the Penguins and the Rangers being cock stains, specifically during this game, and it sounds like a lot of work for us outside of a dedicated program for graduate credit.
Everyone is going to talk about how MSG and its fans gave the Rangers the lift they needed to jump out ahead in this game, but we've seen the Penguins silence crowds before.
This guy is probably going home feeling like he won the game, too. Damn, don't we know how that feels, buddy.
Kris Letang spilled unicorn blood at the end of the game in a divine sacrifice to Our Lord, a last ditch effort to somehow birth the satanic child of a Fenwick chart and a ghost.
Even a scolding from Dad couldn't restore decency to the proceedings.
Play your night out with some Violent Femmes. Get angsty. Tuesday is going to be a rough one.
You never tell on someone.
go pens. goodnight fallen angels

It was with heavy heart that I left my new friends @smallhopebay. Friends and memories that will last a very long time and when you have that unique an experience on a short break vacation it"s truly good and rewarding. In the interests of international investigation I strode on to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no mole has gone before.
My heart, not to mention my stomach, felt even heavier when, in the face of storm force winds, I discovered the next mode of transport to take me to South Andros. A very very small plane, that after a quick reconnaissance seemed one berth short, was sat waiting at the end of the runway.
I sat in the back on top of the luggage behind the pilot but once in the air the spirit of adventure took hold again as the views of Andros at close quarters continued to stun and we headed south to Congo Town airport.
Upon landing and entering the terminal, which is the size of my Dad"s green house, a stranger approached me and uttered the words "Bonefish run strong on the flats". Fair enough, and with that I was whisked off in a vehicle that looked suspiciously like a CIA white Ford to the quayside where an open topped speed boat traversed the open "Bight" water at a million knots per hour for 15 minutes (and yes it was till blowing a Hooley).
At this point the temperature had marginally dropped below 25 degrees Celsius and the locals were cold. This meant a bobble hat or two.
I was met on the other side by Big Harry. "Welcome to our Island Mr Bond," he said, or maybe I misheard? "Schouth Androsch scheems schunny if a little windy," I replied.
Harry drove us to Swains Cay Lodge where the Bonefish do indeed run strong, the food is good and the accommodation is very comfortable.
"Would you like a drink?" asked our host "Yesch a dry martin…" - a knee in the groin brings tears to my eyes and me to my senses.
South Andros is a haven of beauty virtually untouched by human hand. Like its northern cousin it has a series of blue holes for diving and swimming. A newly-developed nature trail leads you to one of the largest and most attractive of all that I witnessed with huge sweeping rock faces and even a shallow end for beginners.
The major attraction for South Andros and the thing that brings people from all over the world to its shores is the bone fish. From an angling perspective it is one of the most exciting, accessible and challenging of all fish. They line in the flats i.e. shallow waters that surround the island on the Atlantic side. You can catch them from either shallow hulled boats or wading (as per Swains cay ) and most interestingly they are caught by fly.
A skill that is honed over the years and I was introduced to one of the world"s experts known locally as Schine. As you can imagine he was a laid back cool dude confident in his skill sets and experience. Schine tells me: "Once hooked the fish run like scalded aqua cats and the fight that ensues between fish and fisherman, man and beast can bring you back day after day, year after year."
So, I ask Schine "Do you expect me to Fish?".
"No Mr Bond I expect you to fly," he replies.

'Drogba' has endured a frustrating time at Pirates following the arrivals of Benni McCarthy and Collins Mbesuma, slipping down the pecking order and spending more time in the stands then on the field.
The Buccaneers recently turned down a trial offer for the player in Israel – a baffling move considering he has not played for some time and that his contract expires at the end of the season.
Ndulula's agent, Tim Sukazi, says the player could remain at the club, but some things will need to change.
"There has been no contact from Pirates with regards to a new contract, but should they offer us a new one we will definitely look at it," Sukazi tells KickOff.com. "However, we will need some guarantees of game-time.
"At least three PSL club have already been in contact with us, and what we are looking for now is to get the boy playing regularly. If that can be at Pirates, all the better, but we will need some guarantees from the club."

The new capability means that users can receive messages in a different language and instantly translate it into English. The new feature is an extremely convenient tool for those who do business with other countries, as the feature gives a solution to language barrier problems.
Automated Message translation was initially introduced in Gmail labs in 2009. The feature became popular with many Gmail users, particularly those who needed to constantly communicate with others across the world.
"If all parties are using Gmail, you can have entire conversations in multiple languages with each participant reading the messages in whatever language is most comfortable for them," said Gmail in 2009 on their blog."
The new feature will now roll out among all Gmail users over the next few days.
"Since message translation was one of the most popular labs, we decided it was time to graduate from Gmail Labs and move into the real world," said Jeff Chin, Product Manager at Google Translate. "Over the next few days, everyone who uses Gmail will be getting the convenience of translation added to their email. The next time you receive a message in a language other than your own, just click on Translate message in the header at the top of the message and it will instantly be translated into your language."
Users who are bilingual will have the option to turn off the feature, Gmail users who regularly need translation can have the feature translate each message they receive in their inbox.

After driving into the city last night to pick up my race bib for the Nike Women's Half Marathon (only nine more days!), El Hub and I stopped in Sausalito for dinner on the way back.
We went to this little sushi place on Caledonia Street called Sweet Ginger, and I was munching on my mango, avocado and sweet potato tempura veggie roll and staring at my race bib number: 22822.
I am by no means a hard-core runner, but I've run a handful of short races before, and I can't say that I've ever had a memorable bib number.
They're usually a nondescript string of random numerals, like from a UPC barcode on a bottle of laundry detergent or reduced fat peanut butter, but this one — 22822 — feels like a sign. The only thing better would've been a bunch of nines, since nine is my lucky number.
Anyway, I love this number. A lot.
I love how symmetrical it is and how the eight looks in the middle, and how if you turn the bib sideways, the eight makes an infinity sign (ooh!).
The number is also a palindrome.
Symmetry. Balance. Elusive concepts in makeup and life, but at least my half marathon bib rocks 'em!
Dude, I think you feel my pain. Symmetrical makeup is hard, especially when it comes to thick, bold liner, or darker colors in the crease.
At least it's hard for me. I really have to work at it, but my eyes are slightly different shapes (it's true). If you have perfectly symmetrical features, consider yourself #blessed. My eyes aren't symmetrical at all (my left eye is slightly smaller than the right, and it sits a smidgen lower).
I think about symmetry a lot this time of year, when the fall and holiday colors show up, because I start wearing bolder eye looks on the regular, and as someone whose features aren't perfectly symmetrical, here are a few tips that help me create more symmetrical eye makeup.
1. Keep both eyes open, head straight, and look directly into the mirror

So I've taken it upon myself to learn another champion and I have chosen to go with Sion. Ive been giving AP Sion a shot and I'm not really liking how things are going. What are some builds that you find work best. And some general tips would be much apreciated.
dorans ring, boots, mejis, merctreds, rabbadons, sheen, ga, lichbane, abyssal scepter in that order, you if you ever get meis to 8 stack (which your ap sion who has a monstorous early/mid game while good late so you should) those 8 stacks will become 20 and you will never loose them its like 750 ap 150/200 armor/mr you can get lichbane before ga but get a chainmail before thinking about completing the lichbane, the negatron cloak can also be bought before lichabne(for the abyssal scepter) if you are getting bursted really hard. If your not confident enough to get mejis and keep stacks go for something else that gives a lot of ap like hour glass, but that wouldnt be till after abyssal scepter I use 9/0/21 masteries, and would probably use mag pen reds, mp5 yellows, cdr blues, and either ap or mag pen quints (more likely ap currently dont feel like spending the ip so I just use movespeed for a deafault page of mine lol)
Senior Member
My build: Sion(AP), Flash, Ignite ------------------- + Doran's Ring + Doran's #2 and maybe 3. + boots 1 + NLR + antimagic -> Sorc Shoes -> Deathcap -> LichBane + Deathfire Grasp You max out Shield first, followed by Stun with 1 point in enrage at level 4 where it is always left on. Dorans is the perfect item for Sion providing a toughness boost, MP5 regen and 15 AP. 800+ gold worth of goodies for 475. As Dorans is my main source of mana regen, I get 2 or 3 of em which helps me really dominate the laning and farm like crazy. A needlessly large rod (after boots) provides a large AP boost. We want as much AP as possible because it provides protection to keep our shield from being knocked down by enemy nukes, and also massive damage vs creeps so we can 1-shot them. The goal is to kill all 6 creeps in a wave with 1 spell. Then you upgrade to Sorc Shoes for even more magic penetration and to a Deathcap for huge AP. So now you have some pots, sorc boots, 2 or 3 dorans, and a Deathcap. You have huge burst damage from Stun/Shield. This is a 6000 gold build. Once you have an extra few thousand gold past the core, sell a Dorans(if needed) and replace with a Sheen/Lichbane. This provides you with an extra nuke and even more burst damage since by 18 only 2 nukes doesnt quite cut it. A deathfire grasp is excellent too since your high AP ensures it deals high damage and provides yet another nuke. Vs several strong magic damagers get a Negatron and upgrade to an Abyssal Scepter. This gives you lots of magic resist and is pretty offensive too (vs taking a banshee)
I love playing me Sion, a bit different as I play an AD Sion. This means that early game I have to be VERY careful and wont get much kills. Start with a vampiric scepter, and Q ability. From there I just lvl enrage as I go, bouncing to the W. As Q is a 2 sec stun no matter what and I dont want it eating my mana. I keep enrage on at all times as vamp scepter makes my enrage not really hurt. I then get my ult when I can and lvl enrage all the way followed by Q then W. Items: Vamp Scepter: at the start Boots: I prefer zerkers greaves do to increased attack speeds, but if your having issues then pick up the merc treads. Frozen Mallet: This will give you much more kills as now your opponents will have more trouble getting away when you Q, ult whack,whack they come unstunned and run to find they cant run. From I tend to build against the enemy team, possibly picking up banshee's veil or some other defensive item to protect against their nukes only. If I don't have a problem with their nukes I pick up Sword of the Divine, which is nice and hefty with enrage and the ult going on, plus it'll tear through their jax's and yi's when active. At this point you should be a stupid raging monster, in which you can make almost whatever you want, I like Atma's Impaler. It says nomnomnom my 4k+ health now gives me 80 additional attack damage. This playstyle is very passive in the begining and can be hard to start, however late game you have to be super agressive and never run from a fight. Your lifesteal should keep you alive. I have heard many other AD Sion's saying you need to grab bloodthirster to survive, I tried it but it just didn't work as well to me so I forgo it for other items. Should you choose to grab bloodthirster I would say grab it before the mallet so you can stack it early.
While I like the vampiric scepter, it doesnt let you start with any health pots. This means in order to heal, you MUST keep hitting things. Therefore you can be shut down very easily with a string of nukes. Once at half health, its over. You cant approach to hit minions without risking death and you cannot regenerate well. As an alternative, I would suggest a Regrowth Pendant +1health pot. The pendant pays for 1 level 1 enrage every 2 seconds, or 1 level 5 enrage every 5 seconds. So it will keep you in top shape for last hitting very well. The potion quickly recovers from a heavy burst. Furthermore upgrading it to a Philosophers stone is a very good play. Not only do you get 22 HP5 regen, but also 10 mana regen which is HUGE. This ensures you can spam your stuns a LOT more and be much more dominant in lane. Being able to 2 sec stun and uber-Whack a melee who tries to lasthit is very powerful. With that mana regen alone thats 1 free stun every 50 seconds. While not amazing by itself, this stacks with the mana regen you already have plus when you level up. In addition, 30 gold per minute for free is a nice bonus. After the Philo stone, you will want boots, zeal most likely or whatever else, and then a Emblem of Valor which adds more regen and high lifesteal. Another alternative is a Rejuv BEAD +multiple pots, upgrading to an Emblem on your first B. This is a decent approach too, but I think the heavier out-of-combat health regen and mana regen potential of Rejuv/Philo is better. In any case, AP Sion is considered better because you are a lot stronger during early game and can farm much better. AD Sion can really own late game but needs a lot of farm to be effective. Plus, a champ like Mundo for example is VERY similar to AD Sion skillwise and is generally easier to play. Mundo has no mana issues, a better passive, higher Enrage equivalent, a more general purpose Cleaver (no stun, but faster cooldown, much longer range, scaling damage, great for chasing), and the Ult is more consistent for chasing and healing. Plus his 4th ability is a bit more useful than your Shield which is way underutilized with AD Sion.
OOO I really like that idea with the regrowth and pot, it would really help make Sion much more viable earlier, Smart thinking Warrax. Lol funny enough Mundo is my main, although I still love my Sion.
