" Manufacturer: Innvo Labs / Type: Electronic Toy "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
Every school morning when my boys are eating their breakfast and getting dressed we have the children's cartoon channel Boomerang on the TV in the background. Every single morning since about June this year there has been toy adverts on and the one that seems to have stuck in my head alone is the one for 'Hex Bugs'. My sons have been asking for a Hex Bug ever since they first saw them advertised so after hunting one down each for their Birthdays I will now share my thoughts about them..
*~*What's a Hex Bug?*~*
Hex Bugs are small robotic creatures that resemble bugs (hence the title) and the most common variety is the Nano version, which is also the smallest, and is a basic looking microchip 'bug'. The Hex Bug was first launched back in 2007 and has grown each year with the additions of new 'bugs' and 'creatures' being added year after year and their popularity is growing more and more with each new addition.
Each Hexbug comes complete with a battery which can be changed (all explained in the instruction leaflet when you purchase your bug) and the bugs all have an on/off switch.
Also available are:
All the 'species' come in a choice of rainbow colours, some being more rarer to collect than others, and there are also several types of habitat sets available which are basically like little homes with different levels for your 'bug' to run around in.
*~*Price, packaging & availability*~*
Firstly I'll start with the price. These start in the region of £7 for a basic bug (Nano) and can be found in most toy stores apparently. Well that was what I'd been told day in day out on the TV adverts but after hopping on a bus mid November to our town centre and hitting several toy shops (Toymaster and Toys r Us I'm talking about you!) I was told that they didn't stock them despite their popularity.
I did find several places online to purchase the bugs, and whilst I do normally prefer to order online I wanted to go and pick the bugs out myself as online they can't guarantee which colour you will be sent.
I found the cheapest option was a store on Ebay, which though didn't let me choose the colour, it was only £6.95 and included postage and packaging which was a bargain.
The packaging for the Hex Bug comes in a plastic transparent looking vial. The vial looks like something from a science lab and nestled inside in the Hex Bug which though slides about in the tube it seems protected enough not to get damaged.
*~*Our thoughts on the Hex Bug*~*
When I'd seen these bugs advertised on the television I didn't really think too much of them if I'm being honest as they were just a small toy that moved a lot and looked quite annoying.
When I actually typed the name into a search engine I was surprised at just how popular these little creatures were and there were several videos on the likes of YouTube showing them in 'action'.
On receiving the bugs that I'd ordered for my boys, I wanted to test them out mainly to see that they were in perfect working order so I could get them wrapped up for their birthdays and also to see what all the fuss was about.
There is an easy to remove lid at the end of the vial and this simply pops out by twisting it off. It also plugs back in so storing your hex bug is safe and secure once in it's tube like vessel.
The bugs I bought for my boys as mentioned are the Nano version, so are approximately an inch in length and a centimetre across whilst their bodies are made from a robust coloured plastic with the microchip underneath clearly visible. They are just over one centimetre in height due to the length of their legs and the nano features 12 - 6 on each side which are made from a soft rubbery material.
To activate the bug there is a small switch on the underside of the Nano (this varies in place on different bugs) and once pressed the bug starts to come alive. Once placed on a flat surface the bug then scurries around in circles and if it gets knocked over it 'jumps' back on to it's feet and off it goes again.
This may not sound overly riveting, but there is something actually quite addictive about watching these little robotic creatures and bugs scurrying around and their movements are scarily lifelike.
Apart from them being collectable items these are really fascinating to watch in their habitats as they can climb levels and race each other and because of the amount of different 'homes' you can buy there are endless possibilities of watching what your bug can get up to.
These are fantastic little creatures that get children used to the workings of robotics from an early age and my boys think they are just brilliant. Personally I think they are such an interesting and innovative toy that they are literally spell bounding watching them move around.
Durability wise these seem quite sturdy in build though if dropped or stood on could damage quite easy, as my boys have been quite careful with their bugs they are still in excellent condition though they have only had them for around 6 weeks so it's hard to give a life expectancy to them!
As for battery life again it's difficult to say as ours have been played with an awful lot in the 6 weeks or so we have had them and they are still going strong. It doesn't state on the packaging how long the battery life actually is so I really can't comment I suppose it's dependent on what time period they are played with for.
*~*Final words*~*
Hex Bugs are really addictive and here to stay! My husband hadn't really seen them advertised as they are normally on the children's channels so he had no idea what these little creatures were like until he saw our sons and he is very impressed indeed to the point he wants his own ..and I have to admit I want my own too!
More Hex Bugs are already on next years Christmas list!

Microsoft has abandoned its three-month-long attempted takeover of Yahoo, leaving Google's dominance of the online search market unchallenged.
As soon as Microsoft announced its bid for Yahoo on February 1 - valued at $44.6bn at the time - Yahoo's management began seeking and considering alternatives, while its stock began to rise from the latest pre-bid price of $19.18.
By the time Yahoo's board formally rejected the unsolicited offer on February 11, saying it undervalued the company, Yahoo's stock price had risen to $29.87, erasing the offer's premium. The next day, Microsoft hinted in a letter to Yahoo that it wouldn't shy away from attempting a hostile takeover.
Meanwhile, several media reports appeared - all attributed to anonymous sources - that Yang was holding conversations with Google, AOL, Disney and News Corp, exploring alternative deals that would strengthen Yahoo's business and thus relieve the pressure to accept Microsoft's offer.
On April 5, Microsoft, clearly impatient, threatened Yahoo's board of directors with a proxy battle if it wouldn't agree to a buy-out in the next three weeks. That deadline passed last Saturday.
No alternative deal ever materialised for Yahoo, except for a very limited, albeit eyebrow-raising, test that saw Yahoo run Google ads along with some search engine results on Yahoo.com.
Observers speculated that the test, announced on April 9, could lead to a full-blown outsourcing of Yahoo's search ad business to Google, a move that financial analysts believe could boost Yahoo's revenue. Press reports last week indicated that Yahoo and Google might still enter into such a deal.
This possible deal with Google played a big part in Microsoft's decision to walk away, Ballmer wrote in his letter. If Yahoo outsourced search advertising to Google, the deal would "fundamentally undermine" Yahoo's long-term viability, he wrote.
"This would also fragment your search advertising and display advertising strategies and the ecosystem surrounding them. This would undermine the reliance on your display advertising business to fuel future growth," Ballmer wrote.
Moreover, the Google deal would cause key advertising-system engineers to leave Yahoo and would create regulatory and legal problems that Microsoft wouldn't want to inherit, Ballmer wrote.
Yahoo also made overt maneuvers to buy itself time. For example, on March 5, Yahoo lifted the following week's deadline for nominating directors to its board, an attempt to discourage Microsoft from launching a proxy fight to replace the current board with members willing to approve its Yahoo acquisition bid.
On March 18, it kicked off a tour to investors by dusting off a three-month-old financial plan to reinforce its contention that Yahoo is worth much more than Microsoft offered to pay for it. The plan, which had originally been presented to Yahoo's board in December, predicts that Yahoo will double its operating cash flow over the next three years from $1.9bn to $3.7bn.
The plan also forecasts that, subtracting the commission that Yahoo pays to sites in its advertising network, Yahoo will generate $8.8bn in revenue in 2010. Financial analysts agreed the plan is highly optimistic.
Yahoo also got into hyperactive mode with product and strategy announcements after Microsoft's bid, always pointing out that each initiative proved that it is able to improve its situation as an independent company.
For example, it acquired online video player Maven Networks, announced its social network OneConnect mobile service, re-launched its video site and introduced Yahoo Buzz, a social news site that has been very well received.
It also announced AMP, a new advertising management platform that it says will "significantly simplify" buying and selling ads online and that will roll out in phases starting in 2008's third quarter and continuing into 2009. Yahoo also added video to Flickr and joined Google's OpenSocial project of common APIs for social networking applications.
It also recently announced its most ambitious plan yet to take advantage of the popularity of social networking. Yahoo Open Strategy (YOS) calls for the company to swing wide open the doors of its web platforms to let outside developers create applications across its network of sites, starting with its search engine via a beta project called Search Monkey.
Of course, there have been also reminders of why the company found itself an acquisition target. The most concrete of these reminders was on February 12, when Yahoo started laying off about 1,000 staffers. Meanwhile, prominent executives like Bradley Horowitz, vice president of product strategy, voluntarily departed, in Horowitz's case to arch-rival Google.
As time passed, Microsoft's hopes of a swift acquisition and integration evaporated. Ballmer maintained all along that the offer was fair and seemed perplexed that Yahoo didn't jump to accept it. At the prospect of a dragged out proxy fight, to be followed by a complicated and lengthy integration of MSN and Yahoo, Ballmer apparently grew increasingly disenchanted.
If Microsoft had $40bn plus to spend on Yahoo, it can certainly go shopping for the many startup and niche companies that have gained traction in the Web 2.0 space in areas like social networking, social news, video, web-hosted applications and mobile advertising.
Considering Ballmer's well-known competitive nature, he will dust himself off and draw up another plan, because one thing is clear: while he is giving up on acquiring Yahoo, he is certainly not giving up on his dream to top Google in online advertising, particularly in search.
"We have a talented team in place and a compelling plan to grow our business through innovative new services and strategic transactions with other business partners. While Yahoo would have accelerated our strategy, I am confident that we can continue to move forward toward our goals," Ballmer said in Saturday's statement.
"We are investing heavily in new tools and Web experiences, we have dramatically improved our search performance and advertiser satisfaction, and we will continue to build our scale through organic growth and partnerships," said Kevin Johnson, Microsoft president for platforms and services, in the statement.
As of the end of 2007's third quarter, Google had almost 25 percent of the US internet advertising market, up from almost 21 percent in 2006's third quarter, according to IDC. Meanwhile, Yahoo's share during this period dropped to 11.3 percent from 12.3 percent, while Microsoft's declined to 5.2 percent from 5.8 percent, according to IDC.
In search usage, Google held a commanding 62.4 percent of queries worldwide, followed by Yahoo in a very distant second place with 12.8 percent, according to comScore. Microsoft ranked fourth with 2.9 percent, after Baidu with 5.2 percent.
In November, Yahoo ranked first in the US in display ad impressions with a 19 percent share, while Microsoft came in third with 6.7 percent, after News Corp.'s Fox Interactive (16.3 percent), according to comScore. Google took seventh place with 1 percent.

Jul 7, 2011Good to see, that Capcom didn't forget the PC. Even though it took a while, we finally get a great version of Street Fighter IV for a nice price.
Jul 5, 2011If you own the original game, you may be disappointed about the lack of changes. But if this is your first Street Figher game or you just like the genre, there's just no way around this one.
Jul 22, 2011Coming from a PC-centric point of view, you should purchase Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition if you're a fighting game fan. All of the improvements are a massive upgrade from vanilla Street Fighter IV, with the redone online matchups almost being worth it on their own.
Jul 7, 2011Considering Super Street Fighter IV was never released on PC, the additions offered in the Arcade Edition are substantial.
Jul 8, 2011Here comes the definitive version of Street Fighter IV. The jump of Arcade Edition is not as big as the jump from the original version to Super, but it's still great content to keep exploring the joys of this fighting classic (and a great chance to catch up if you want this on PC.)
Jun 23, 2011Capcom enhances again its blockbuster, although perhaps the new features are not worth the price. If you have not played the previous SF4 versions, this is the best chance to try the return of the classic fighter.
Jul 20, 2011For new players, Super Street Fighter IV - Arcade Edition is a great game to enter the world of Street Fighter. The casual gamer won't find much fun in this new arcade edition but the fighting fans will have the time of their life!
Aug 29, 2011There is no better way to enter the Street Fighter world. Actually, there is no other option if you seriously look for fighting on PC. [Issue#207]

Believe it or not, despite the HD 4890's launch last month, the HD 4870 is still totally relevant, thanks to ATI's current pricing structure. There's a card for every budget, and if you're willing to spend around $180, you can get hooked up with a 1GB version of the card we're taking a look at today. It's silent, keeps cool, and still delivers great performance for the money.
Although we generally shun automated gaming benchmarks, we do like to run at least one to see how our GPUs scale when used in a 'timedemo'-type scenario. Futuremark's 3DMark Vantage is without question the best such test on the market, and it's a joy to use, and watch. The folks at Futuremark are experts in what they do, and they really know how to push that hardware of yours to its limit.
The company first started out as MadOnion and released a GPU-benchmarking tool called XLR8R, which was soon replaced with 3DMark 99. Since that time, we've seen seven different versions of the software, including two major updates (3DMark 99 Max, 3DMark 2001 SE). With each new release, the graphics get better, the capabilities get better and the sudden hit of ambition to get down and dirty with overclocking comes at you fast.
Similar to a real game, 3DMark Vantage offers many configuration options, although many (including us) prefer to stick to the profiles which include Performance, High and Extreme. Depending on which one you choose, the graphic options are tweaked accordingly, as well as the resolution. As you'd expect, the better the profile, the more intensive the test.
Performance is the stock mode that most use when benchmarking, but it only uses a resolution of 1280×1024, which isn't representative of today's gamers. Extreme is more appropriate, as it runs at 1920×1200 and does well to push any single or multi-GPU configuration currently on the market – and will do so for some time to come.
Given the known scalability of 3DMark Vantage, there's absolutely nothing unexpected here.

Virtual Vault
Dear All,

Is there a way to re-add the Virtual Vault in the navigation pane without deleting the EV cache on the machine? Second I see some files in the KVS folder in AppData\Local on my machines. A few are tmps. Is there a way to view it?
The configuration is: Outlook 2010 with Enterprise Vault 9.0.4.

Repair Manual Request - Bosch Nexxt 500 washer WFMC3301UC/06 or Similar

"For any front loading washer with a draining problem, the first things to check for are a clogged pump or drain hose. But Bosch, always wanting to be different, adds another little Gotcha to their washers that's not well-known but can also cause poor or no-draining problems. Sublime Master denrayr reveals this esoteric kata unique to Bosch washing machines:
There is a big ball in the hose that connects [the pump] to the tub. This ball is there to act as a one way valve to prevent dirty water from enterin the tub. Sometimes this ball will get stuck due to dirt or other contaminents. Remove the ball and clean it and the hose and reinstall.

I ran tests 9, 13, and 15 which tested the pressure switch, water valve 1, and pump. When I checked the errors it listed the following:
20 - spin stopped due to unbalanced load or faulty wire harness.
21 - excessive foam
d8 - faulty motor speed sensor or wire harness
d10 - power limiter switch off from possible motor overload or binding
Since faulty wire harness was listed in two of the problems, I wonder if that may be the issue. I tried to find the part, but I don't know what part it actually is. I found several parts called "cable harness" but not sure which one if any are the one I would need. If anyone can tell from any of the info I have given, please let me know. Or if anyone has any other theories based on the errors I got let me know that too. Until then, I will try to get in and check to see if anything if clogged or blocked as soon as I can and post my findings.

I cleared the sock out and put everything back together and have run two loads now with no errors!
Thanks again for the manual. I would not have been able to fix this without it.

"Giving back should be natural," said Questlove, who lives in New York but has played in New Orleans with The Roots for decades. "It shouldn't be like a big event or a special thing. It should be natural."

The first thing you notice when you reach the Lajpat Nagar Market is the multitude of cycle rickshaw pullers who make it easy to traverse the humongous market and also connect it to nearby metro stations, bus stops and auto stands. These rickshaw-wallas make life easy for residents of Delhi at all popular places, be it Connaught Place, Sarojini Nagar, Delhi University campus or INA Market. They are simply omnipresent.
According to conservative estimates, there are approximately six lakh cycle rickshaws plying on Delhi streets today. The Joint Commissioner of Traffic Police was, however, recently quoted as estimating this number at around 10 lakh. If such a large number of people were to vote in the upcoming elections in Delhi, their choice could change the very outcome of the elections as they would form roughly six per cent of the total number of voters. Needless to say, parties would have left no stone unturned to woo their voters. But that is not the case.
Madhu Purnima Kishwar, founder of Manushi that works extensively for the welfare of the city's rickshaw pullers, believes that the primary reason for this is that most of them are seasonal migrants and hence not a vote bank in Delhi.
A majority of them come to the capital from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and other States in search of a livelihood. "Hum Mathur mein register hain, vote dene ke liye" (I am a registered voter in Mathura), says Rakesh, who pulls a rickshaw in the Lajpat Nagar Market area and lives in Sriniwaspuri.
Consequently, a majority of rickshaw pullers don't make any difference to the political scenario in Delhi in terms of being members of a vote bank as there doesn't exist one. Nipen Das, a rickshaw puller from Bihar who intends on going back to his hometown in some months, says he does not have a voter ID card yet but his brother-in-law does. "Jijaji humare BJP ko vote denge" (My brother-in-law will vote for BJP), he adds.
But there appears to be more support for the Aam Aadmi Party. Javed, who has been living in Jal Vihar with eight other friends and pulling a rickshaw in Delhi since 1996, says all of them are tired of the current government's attitude toward problems they face and are going to vote for the AAP.
The lack of solidarity in their opinion is easy to spot, though. Bhawan Singh, who came to Delhi from Bihar, says he has not given much thought to the question. "Abhi time hai, socha nahin hai kise vote karna hai," (There is still time, I haven't thought about who to vote for), he says. There are many others who share his point of view and think it is too early to make the decision. With the relatively insignificant percentage of voters that Delhi's rickshaw-wallas make, it will be interesting to see what impact they have – both on the elections in terms of number of voters as also on the government's attitude towards treatment of non-motorised public transport in the Capital.

Thanks very much for being so quick to answer my query.
I am now investigating all the cameras you suggested, plus some others with the optical viewfinder and somewhat less pricey, for ex. the Canon A series.

Stark's goal gives Columbus North boys soccer a draw with East
August 31, 2014Columbus North High School
COLUMBUS, Ind. -- Senior Jerrett Stark finished a corner-kick restart situation Saturday night (Aug. 30), lifting the Columbus North boys soccer team to a 1-1 tie with Columbus East at Richard Wigh Soccer Complex.
Senior Drew Herron gave the Olympians a 1-0 lead with an unassisted goal in the 26th minute. East carried that advantage into the half.
Stark, however, punched a shot past East goalkeeper J.B. Baxter in the fourth minute of the second half. Senior Brayton Thornburg began the play with a corner kick. Senior Ed Meyer then moved the ball to Stark, who found the back of the net as the Bull Dogs moved to 1-1-1.
Junior Ty Bentham recorded three saves in goal for Columbus North. Baxter finished with 11 saves for the Olympians.
In the JV game, sophomore Kevin Morales and freshman Rico Hollencamp scored for the Bull Dogs as the teams played to a 2-2 draw. Scott Hammon scored both goals for Columbus East.
Columbus North returns to action on Tuesday (Sept. 2) when it visits Bloomington North. The JV game begins at 6 p.m. and the varsity follows about 7:30 p.m. The Bull Dogs follow by hosting Franklin Central on Thursday at Max Andress Field, 6 p.m. JV and varsity to follow.
At Richard Wigh Soccer Complex
Columbus East ............. 1 0 -- 1
Columbus North ......... 0 1 -- 1
East -- Drew Herron (unassisted), 26th minute
North -- Jerrett Stark (Ed Meyer, Brayton Thornburg), 44th minute

How to Use a Cigarette Holder:
- Make sure the holder is clean. If the holder unscrews, unscrew it to make sure the center is not jammed with any tobacco, grime or lint from being thrown in your pocket or purse. You can blow through it to dislodge any debris that's not stuck on. Otherwise, clean it with a pipe cleaner.
- Insert the cigarette into the holder. Gently grasp the holder in one hand and the cigarette in the other. Place the tip of the cigarette's filter into the holder's opening, turning very gently to secure into place. Do not pinch or disfigure the cigarette or you won't be able to smoke it.
- Light the cigarette. Make sure you keep the holder and cigarette pointing upwards so the cigarette does not fall out and light as you normally would.
- Keep the holder pointing slightly upwards while smoking. Try not to point the holder down at the ground or the cigarette may fall out or at least get loose. Also try not to wave your hand around while smoking, which can also loosen the cigarette. Ash with care.
- Dispose of the cigarette when through. This is done by simply grasping the cigarette butt and slightly twisting it to remove it from the holder. If you stub out the cigarette while it's still in the holder, you may mash it further in.
- Clean out the holder periodically. You'll know when the holder needs cleaning by simply looking at it or finding it harder to smoke through. Cleaning out a holder is pretty grotesque if left neglected for too long, as it gets caked with clumps of tar. Try to clean our your holder at least once a week, even once a day for best results. Simply unscrew the holder if it unscrews and stick a pipe cleaner into it. Have a paper towel handy to wipe all the gunk off.
Package Included:
- 1 x Cleaning Reusable Tobacco Filter Cigarette Holder

Str8 Nudist Outdoor Workout
Handsome Chase possesses a winning smile, personality and body that makes both men and women melt. Here is a very revealing film documenting this 18 year old college freshman naked for the very first time while on holiday in Hawaii. Horny Chase had no problem keeping his beautiful penis rock hard in various locations outdoors in the garden. There is something very special about a comfortable naked guy with BOTH a great set of pecs AND a great package. This video of Chase is a fun behind the scenes look at the afternoon I spent with this delightful muscle stud. He walks around with his boner, lifts free weights naked and climbs up a ladder balls out to trim a high hedge. What a hairy muscle butt! "Real men have hair," Chase says with a smile when I compliment his furry boy body! Like Hank and Kawelo, Chase hits the gym several days each week and is proud of the way his strong body looks naked! His handsome face and dark olive skin come from his ethnic Basque parents.

Hey, the first thing I want to say is that I am really enjoying the new Install Manager. It takes all the guesswork out of the installs, and the way it automatically lets you know that something has been updated and needs to be downloaded again is outstanding.
I do have one question though: Originally DAZ Studio 4 was installing things to the user/DAZ3D/Studio/MyLibrary Directory with a mostly empty user/DAZ3D/Studio4/MyLibrary directory.
The Download manager of course likes the default of public/My DAZ 3D Library, and we were told it worked best if it did an install to a fresh directory, which I let it do.
Which leaves me with two very large generally duplicate runtimes. Now much as I like to buy bigger and bigger hard drives to accommodate this, it's sort of getting to the point of silliness (especially when you consider I have the whole older set of D/S 3 runtime in yet another separate directory.
What are the issues with removing the old library? I realize I will need to re-install such content as I purchased, um, "elsewhere"
We aren't talking any small amount of disk space, I have over 3,500 downloads from here alone and my old runtime is over 300 GB

The Coyote Gospel
Most comic book fans know that Grant Morrison's 26 issue Animal Man run is the stuff of legend, even people who haven't read it (read: most of us). What many don't know is that his Animal Man #5 is regarded as one of the best, most intelligent single comic book issues ever printed. Luckily, the good people over at this site have made it available for you to see online. Drawing a parallel with Christian mythology, Crafty the cartoon coyote makes a deal with his creator to save his home world from violence that leads him to the comic book world in a story of sacrifice, misunderstanding and tragedy.
This isn't just for comic book fans. If you appreciate good, thoughtful storytelling, head on over for a quick read. I enjoyed the excerpt so much that I went out and got Morrison's whole Animal Man run. Seriously, when are we starting a Grant Morrison based religion? WWGMD
Because censoring opinions you disagree with is bad (looking at you Paramount, Viacom, Fox and Lionsgate)
I saw this on reddit this morning and had to share.
Lionsgate, Fox, Paramount and Viacom have all filed DMCA takedown requests with Google to remove all links to TPB-AFK─a Creative Commons, Kickstarter-funded documentary centered around the founders of The Pirate Bay that is in no way owned by Lionsgate, Fox, Paramount or Viacom. Now, these requests are automated, and supposedly, this was a mistake. I mean, who doesn't include other people's works when setting up a series of automated requests to take down your work? Oh, that's right: nobody. Nobody who isn't making an effort to censor those works would do that.
I believe in respecting copyright and punishments that fit the crime, but this isn't that. This is manipulating a system designed to protect copyright to censor opposing arguments and ideas. It's time to start fining companies and individuals for filing false DMCA takedown requests. If there is nothing to stop companies from censoring, accidentally or not, material they disagree with, what's to stop them from silencing political opinions during elections? What's to stop them from censoring positive reviews or competing products or negative reviews of their own products?
Go forth and watch TPB-AFK because someone doesn't wants to take away your right to see it.

Thursday Throwback: "I've Seen Better Days"
You know, I've never actually heard this song on the radio or seen the music video, but for a while it was inescapable. There was a time when it seemed as though "I've Seen Better Days" was playing over the last scene of every movie and TV show.
Some people insist this song is by Sublime. It isn't. Those people probably illegally downloaded songs with the wrong artist information. Moreover, "I've Seen Better Days" is from Citizen King's 1999 album Mobile Estates. In 1999 Bradley Knowell, lead singer of Sublime, had been dead for three years and not replaced yet.
Pour one out for 'The Cleveland Show'
The Cleveland Show was always destined for cancellation. Frankly, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did, but that never stopped me from sparking up a joint and laughing along with the madness.
Look, not everything has to be a work of genius. The Cleveland Show was entertaining, and I'll miss it. Hey, at least it wasn't most other things on Fox. Plus, the joint really helped.
One season closer to six seasons and a movie
You've probably already heard this elsewhere, but Community has been renewed for a fifth season. I think most fans were pretty disappointed by the fourth season, but bad Community is still better than most things. Plus, it got better as the season progressed. With the drama and transition of losing Harmon behind them, I'm optimistic about the new season.
Chevy Chase won't be back next season, but if I had to pick one character to remove from the show without affecting it, it would be his. Pop POP!
"Space Oddity" as performed by Canada's Cmdr. Chris Hadfield aboard the ISS

'24' Coming back to TV
There have been promises to bring back Jack Bauer ever since 24 went off the air in 2010. For a long time, the rumor was that we were getting a 24 movie. While I was excited by the prospect of hearing Jack Bauer shout something other than "Damn it", I never really thought 2 hours of real-time action was enough to do it justice. Sure, there was 24: Redemption, but it was only a device to segway into Season 7. It was barely a standalone movie, and really only worked as 2 hours of 24 set two months before the events of 24. It was more like an annual issue of a comic book than a standalone event.
Anyhow, a 12 episode run of 24 is coming in May 2014 as part of Fox's effort to air programming in the Summer that makes people want to watch in the Fall. The limited series will be called 24: Live Another Day. It will definitely feature Kiefer Sutherland, but nothing else has been announced.

Good Head: Ballast Point Sculpin IPA
Here's a nice new beer to try for the weekend.
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of San Diego County's breweries. In fact, they're easily my favorite thing about San Diego. Granted, I'm not much of a beach person, but going down to North County to sample beers is one of the best uses of a Southern California Saturday afternoon I can imagine. The breweries are easy to get to, close together and distinctive enough to warrant checking out several instead of camping out at just one. With a large facility they built from the ground up, the biggest in the area is easily Stone Brewing Co.─who have a fantastic free tour that includes samples, by the way─with others, like the ever delicious Mother Earth Brew Co., being as small as a single suite in a single-level office park. I like to think I've been to lots of the area's breweries, but in reality, I've probably been to less than 25% of the fine establishments that make up the San Diego Brewers Guild. One of the bigger ones I've never had a chance to visit is Ballast Point. I've wanted to go, but it's far enough away from where I usually go to be written off as "maybe next time" every time. Boy, was that a mistake.
A few weeks back I had a nice time getting
bad genuinely fucking terrible service at Slater's 50/50 with two friends, and one of them had me try his Ballast Point Sculpin IPA. Now, I'm not much of an IPA guy (unless it's Port Brewing's seasonal High Tide IPA), so I tried it more as a courtesy to him than out of actual interest. Much to my surprise, it was beyond fantastic. I've since had it several more times. Sculpin IPA has that hoppy, citrusy crispness typically associated with the IPA style, but the execution uses just the right amount of sweetness and a note of tropical fruit to bring a perfect balance to a style of beer that can sometimes overwhelm the palate with bitterness. I would recommend it to anyone, even lovers of canned domestics, and I'm recommending it to you right now.
Ballast Point is my new go-to summer beer, and I think after you try some, it will be yours, too.

Zolman TireRead MoreThe experienced mechanics at Zolman Tire keep cars road-ready with diligent care that has earned their shop the title of Reader's Choice Favorite for auto repair in the South Bend Tribune every year since 2003. During the oil-change service, auto experts swap out dirty filters while cars slurp down up to six quarts of conventional or synthetic-blend oil, resolving internal-combustion conflicts and keeping the engine cool enough to be the lead singer in a Boston cover band. Then, Zolman's motorcar magicians inspect other fluid levels and perform a 22-point vehicle inspection to ensure various systems are performing at their optimal levels.1901 S 11th StNiles, MI US
Mike's Car WashRead MoreWhen Mike's Carwash first opened in 1948, it was one of only 18 carwash businesses in the United States.

At each location, accommodating staffers stand by to assist customers during the cleaning process. Decked out in cartoon neckties, the cheerful team ushers cars into computer-controlled washers that eschew traditional gear-operated brushes and baseball bats in favor of controlled sprays and soft cloths. After the mixture of eight signature soaps de-grimes surfaces, 200-miles-per-hour gusts of hot air dry vehicles instantly.

A Silver Alert issued Sunday afternoon for an elderly Dallas man who disappeared on Saturday night was discontinued at 5:45 p.m.
Henry Lee Davis, 85, had last been seen on foot near Denham Drive in Southeast Dallas at 8 o'clock Saturday.
Dallas police said a passerby saw a man on the ground in the 7500 block of South Central Expressway around 4 p.m., more than four miles from where Davis had disappeared.
Dallas Fire-Rescue paramedics took the man to a hospital, where a nurse recognized Davis from the Silver Alert.
Davis, who has been diagnosed with a cognitive impairment, was said to be stablized and coherent, but not talking. Family members were summoned to the hospital.

THE ADDITION — the former jazz club and Japanese restaurant known as Yoshi's San Francisco — abruptly suspended operations on January 14. The minority partners had taken over the business only six months ago, on July 1, and rebranded it as The Addition on November 1, sacking the Yoshi's marquee with a temporary covering.
Former Yoshi's programmer Peter Williams returned to expand the bookings beyond jazz into soul and R&B. But business declined precipitously and the bar and restaurant — which never got a new concept or chef — had been largely empty since the ownership change.

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera with 17mm Lens Limited Edition Bundle contains the black E-M5 mirrorless Micro Four Thirds digital camera and the fast M.ZUIKO 17mm f/1.8 lens as well as a battery grip, dedicated hand strap, and an extra rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, all packaged together in an elegant limited edition gift box.
The OM-D E-M5 is a compact mirrorless digital camera featuring a 16.1 megapixel Micro Four Thirds size sensor and TruePic VI image processor to produce high quality still imagery and full HD 1080i video at 60 fps with notable low-light sensitivity to ISO 25600. Both a 1,440k-dot electronic viewfinder and a 3.0" 610k-dot tilting OLED monitor are available for live view monitoring, image playback, and menu navigation for controlling camera settings and modes. In-camera 5-axis image stabilization is available and helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake from five directions, benefitting working in low-light conditions and with longer lenses. The E-M5 also features a magnesium and aluminum alloy body construction to offer increased durability, rigidity, and protection from dust and splashes.
The included M.ZUIKO Digital 17mm f/1.8 lens is a prime wide-angle lens that provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 34mm, making it an ideal choice for everyday shooting conditions. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions as well as providing greater control over the focus plane for selective focus applications. The lens construction integrates two aspherical elements, one double-sided aspherical element, and a high refractive index element to help minimize chromatic aberration and improve overall image sharpness and quality. Additionally, a ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical coating) lens coating has been applied help further reduce surface reflections, lens flare, and ghosting.

GOP shows flexibility, Obama aims for higher cuts
WASHINGTON Republicans showed new signs of flexibility to break a budget impasse Wednesday, but the White House raised the ante - pushing for more deficit reduction and taking a pugnacious tone casting the GOP as defenders of corporate tax giveaways.
The repositioning by both sides appeared to open new compromise possibilities a day before President Barack Obama was set to host the bipartisan congressional leadership for new talks on the budget. The secret negotiations were gaining new urgency because they are tied to an Aug. 2 deadline to raise the government's borrowing authority.
First, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., declared he was open to closing tax loopholes that the White House says are wasteful and ineffective and that would generate some money toward reducing deficits over the long term.
Democratic officials, in turn, said President Barack Obama wants far more deficit reduction than the $2 trillion over 10 years that for weeks has been the target for budget negotiators. Obama in April proposed deficit reduction of $4 trillion over 12 years and White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday that goal remained "something to aspire to."
But even as White House officials expressed confidence that negotiations ultimately would succeed, Obama took a combative approach ahead of Thursday's meeting.
"The debt ceiling should not be something that is used as a gun against the heads of the American people to extract tax breaks for corporate jet owners or oil and gas companies that are making billions of dollars," Obama said during a town hall that featured questions posed through the online social network Twitter.
The president was referring to existing tax benefits that allow corporate jets to depreciate faster than commercial jets and to tax subsidies available to energy corporations. Obama has proposed ending both as part of an effort to reduce deficits with new tax revenue.
Obama's remarks - one of his harshest of the budget debate - sounded especially dissonant coming less than two hours after Cantor had indicated Republicans were amenable to some discussions about taxes.
"If the president wants to talk loopholes, we'll be glad to talk loopholes," Cantor said. He added that any revenues raised from closing such loopholes "should be coupled with offsetting tax cuts somewhere else."
Cantor's comments reflected important, if nuanced, flexibility by Republicans. His earlier position was that closing loopholes should wait for a comprehensive overhaul of the tax code.
In the Senate, Republican leader Mitch McConnell appeared to douse the idea. "To sort of cherry pick items in the context of this current negotiation at the White house strikes me as pretty challenging," he said.
But Republican Sen. John McCain voiced support for ending corporate tax breaks as well as ethanol and agricultural subsidies in exchange for lower rates for businesses.
"The distorting effect of subsidies is clearly evident in the energy sector," McCain said. "We should eliminate these subsides, lower the corporate tax rate, and allow the marketplace to pick winners and losers, not the government."
It is unclear, however, whether Congress and the administration could undertake such an overhaul in the limited time available to negotiate a deal.

Luke, I Am Your President
Let's see Putin try to pull this nonsense with a Sith Lord in the White House.
- By Michael PeckMichael Peck is an award-winning writer specializing in defense and national security issues. He holds an MA in political science from Rutgers University.
My dear Americans and future subjects,
As you know, a recent poll rated me more favorably as a potential candidate for the 2016 presidential election than Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Chris Christie, or Jeb Bush.
Moved by such enthusiasm in a galaxy whose lack of faith is often disturbing, I stand before you tonight to announce that I, Darth Vader, am running for president.
It has been a long journey for me. Unlike my elitist opponents who are out of touch with 99 percent of America, I know what it is like to struggle. I was born a poor slave on the planet Tatooine, the son of a woman who worked from dawn to dusk for a cruel master. Yet despite the odds, my mother was determined that her son would enjoy the opportunities she never had. And so at a young and tender age, I was torn from my home to be apprenticed as a Jedi knight.
Life as a novice Jedi was hard. But I was fortunate to receive a Dark Side Scholarship, and from there I embarked on my long career of public service. While Barack Obama was just a community organizer in Chicago, I was organizing a galaxy-wide empire. While Hillary Clinton dithered over terrorist attacks in Benghazi and Chris Christie was sabotaging bridges in New Jersey, I was leading the Galactic War on Terror against the Rebel Alliance. And while previous administrations tolerated incompetents who fumbled aid for flood-ravaged New Orleans or botched the rollout of a health care website, I assure you that no subordinate has ever failed me more than once.
I behold an America that lacks strong leadership, its destiny guided by politicians who have waged unsuccessful wars, who have allowed America's economy to wither and its standing in the world to plummet. I was once forced to contend with a Galactic Senate composed of races that could not even breathe the same air without asphyxiating. Yet this was a model of bipartisanship compared to the U.S. Congress.
So I ask you all tonight: Are you as fed up as I am with politicians who are as clumsy as they are stupid?
No doubt you wonder what a Vader administration can do that Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush cannot. First, I pledge to restore America to its rightful place in the world. If I am elected, my first act will be to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where I will make clear our opposition to Russia's actions in Ukraine. I am confident that within moments after we meet, he will announce that Ukraine is not the territory that he is looking for.
I will also halt the spread of radical groups such as the Islamic State. Those who enjoy putting their enemies to the sword will receive a true lesson in swordsmanship from my lightsaber.
As commander-in-chief, I will also ensure that America's military is second to none. As you know, I oversaw construction of the Death Star, a costly but powerful weapon — not unlike the F-35 stealth fighter. Like the F-35, the Death Star had its doubters. But under my leadership, and with the support of America's defense industry, I am confident the F-35 will prove as invulnerable as the Death Star.
Many of you are also worried about the economy. You wonder if you will be able to feed your families or send your children to college. As father of twins Luke and Leia, I have long worried whether my children would have the opportunity to pursue the same career as their father.
Fortunately, the one place in America where the Dark Side is strong is Wall Street. Many corporate CEOs are worthy disciples, and therefore I will summon them to Washington. Together we will implement an employment plan based on the Empire's welfare-to-work program in the Spice Mines of Kessel. Deficit hawks and fiscal conservatives need not worry: the federal government will outsource the program to Imperial Stormtrooper Inc., who will ensure that America's unemployed will have no complaints about their jobs.
Of course, I intend to continue the best policies of my predecessors. I will retain the Patriot Act, a fine piece of legislation worthy of the Empire itself. And as a Dark Lord of the Sith, I have long admired the work of the National Security Agency.
Thank you for your support. Vote early, vote often, and may the Force be with you on Election Day.

It occupies a little space in my wife's jewelry box.
The net value of the tarnishing gold football is zero. But to me, it's priceless.
In this day when college athletes are pawning off their bowl-game jerseys, watches, rings and any other memorabilia, I would have never sold this piece of jewelry.
Granted it has no retail value, it has represented something special.
The small gold football was given, make that earned, by every player on my 1982 Region 5-AA championship team.
It represents the sacrifice and hard work it took in bringing some school pride and earning a trip to the playoffs. Back then (as my kids would say the old days), only one team from the region advanced to the playoffs.
It was something special to be the sole representative from your region in the playoffs.
For many of today's athletes, bowl trips and championship memorabilia is taken for granted.
In the recent months, we have heard about the Ohio State five - Terrelle Pryor, Dan Herron, DeVier Posey, Mike Adams and Solomon Thomas. They are the Buckeye players that sold anything and everything pertaining to Ohio State football for tattoos.
Former Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green ran afoul of the NCAA this past season for selling his bowl jersey. In 2003, nine Bulldog players sold their SEC championship rings on eBay.
It was a 20-year gap between the school's last SEC championship and the 2002 team's accomplishment. Talk about no sentimental value.
"To sell the very thing that symbolized the accomplishment of the team is hurtful to me," said former athletic director Vince Dooley at the time.
Last spring, a jewelry collector came to a yard sale in my neighborhood looking to give cash for unwanted jewelry. My neighbors' wife brought out his high school football championship ring.
The guy was willing to give him a few hundred bucks in cash for the ring. My neighbor pointed to the two scars on his knees, and said it wasn't for sale. Two painful knee operations netted him a tarnishing state championship ring, and it wasn't going to the highest bidder.
Do you hear that A.J. Green!
Blood, sweat and tears means little to this generation.
It's all about, "Show me the money."
The Ohio State five pawned off all they owned to get all "tatted up" last year.
It was a fire sale for Pryor, who sold off his 2008 Fiesta Bowl sportsmanship award, his Big Ten championship ring and the coveted "gold pants" trinket, which is a charm given to Ohio State players who are part of a victory over hated rival Michigan.
It doesn't matter to him the long hours of sacrifice and pain to reach those accomplishment.
It was all about the dollar bill and more tattoos.
Some people know the price of everything, but the value of nothing. Every thing is not for sale.
My daughter's room is covered with memorabilia, trophies, medals and pictures from the many accomplishments she has made in swimming. I asked if she wanted to sell any of those items.
"No," said Kamaria, a 12-year-old. "I've worked too hard for those things. Plus, when I get older I will have something to look back on."
Good answer.
Wish these other knucklehead athletes felt the same way.
