I like it :D
Is that being played on the 3DS? Wow! I have to say, that looks really good.
well. the player sucks lol.
@poster012 That would look good for 3DS. On a "next gen" console, it is not even average.
@poster012 no is the Wii u version. It is HD and runs 60 FPS
@TheOnlyConan I have agree; that's really not up to modern console standards, but the game still looks really fun. If I eventually pick up a Wii U, this will definitely be a title that I get with it.
@poster012 @TheOnlyConan I got my WiiU for this game and this game only. The graphics are really not the point of the game though.

Finger nails scratching down on black boards, people saying 'eeek eek eeek' in high pitched voices, and guinea pigs after being injected with a liquid that increases their squeaking volumes over three times the normal level, are all highly starred this month.
Heading north is better starred with an easterly bias during periods of light rain until well into the third week of the month.
Making pots using clay on wheels bought exclusively from home shopping channels on cable stations are particularly well starred this month as Jupiter pays tribute to Patrick Swayze, who is sadly missed.
Your Halloween costume should have (at least) a big hat, cat, and pointy shoes.

Extreme Glass for Extreme Wine
By: Catherine Fallis MS10th generation Austrian glass maker Georg Riedel, President of Riedel Crystal, returned to Toronto, Canada early last month to unveil the Vinum Extreme Icewine Glass at a special tasting held at the Royal York Hotel. Dr. Champlain Charest, Proprietor of Wine Spectator Grand Award Winning Bistro a Champlain, was Guest of Honor. Robert Herber of London's Vinopolis was also in attendance.
A little over one year ago, Riedel joined a group of North American wine experts led by Donald Ziraldo and Karl Kaiser, Co-founders of Inniskillin Wines, for a workshop held here to create the ultimate Icewine glass. Donald Ziraldo, known around the world as the "Robert Mondavi of Canadian Wine" for his vision, drive, and relentless determination, pursued Riedel since their brief meeting at the New York Wine Experience four years ago.
Wine experts had chosen three glasses as their favorites during the 1999 Icewine glass workshop--Sommelier Series Sauternes and Vintage Port, and Vinum Series Sauvignon Blanc. After the workshop, Reidel went back to the lab and developed the prototype that would be refined and perfected with Inniskillin's input. Detail masters Ziraldo and Reidel exchanged literally thousands of emails in the process.
The resulting glass wowed the crowd at the Royal York Hotel. After tasting Inniskillin Vidal Icewine VQA 1998 side by side in the Sauternes, Vintage Port, Sauvignon Blanc, and new Vinum Extreme Icewine glasses, Reidel and Ziraldo took a vote. It was unanimous in favor of the new glass. Karl Kaiser, the man who brought the idea for Icewine to Inniskillin from his native homeland in Austria, stated "This glass is the maximum translation of our style at Inniskillin."
Inniskillin is the first winery in the world to have successfully commissioned a custom glass from Riedel. The Inniskillin Vinum Extreme Icewine glass has a discreet logo on the base and is available from the winery at USD $29.95 at www.inniskillin.com. The same glass without the logo, called the Vinum Extreme Sweet Wine glass, is available at specialty wine shops for the same price. Wine Warehouse, distributors of Riedel glasses, will offer a special promotional Vinum Extreme Icewine glass program to local restaurants later this year in conjunction with Inniskillin Icewine.
Reidel has several lines of glassware ranging from the luxurious hand blown 24% lead crystal Sommelier Series at $55 per stem and up to Vinum, a sturdier machine-made 24% lead crystal at about $18 per stem, a lower cost lead free Ouverture, and the new diamond-shaped machine-blown 24% lead crystal Vinum Extreme series. According to Reidel, "the design of the new blown shapes relates to current trends in wine quality. The new series impressively illustrates the progress made in the field of mechanical glass production. The upper parts of the Vinum Extreme glasses differ fundamentally from the proven, egg-shaped designs used up to now, due to a "kink" in the bowl. The new shapes with the "kink" have a larger evaporation surface for greater intensity of bouquet." He added "In their lifetime, wine makers produce 35 to 40 vintages of wine. The glass maker is here to transport this message. We are here to study the impact of glass on how we perceive wine."
The next day, 300 international sommeliers and their delegates received the Riedel Vinum Extreme Icewine glass in their rooms as they arrived in Niagara-on-the-Lake for wine region tours prior to the Meilleur Sommelier du Monde 10th Annual Competition held in Montreal.
Celebrating 25 years of leadership as Canada's premier VQA estate winery, Inniskillin Wines is the undisputed leader in Icewine, and a tireless crusader for increased global distribution of Canadian wine. From the day it was granted the first winery license since 1929, its founding partners, Kaiser and Ziraldo, have pioneered the production of premium quality wines from the classic European vitis vinifera, and were the driving force behind the creation of Canada's Vintners' Quality Alliance (VQA) system of quality control.
Catherine Fallis is the world's fifth female Master Sommelier. She is a writer and consultant living on the Monterey Peninsula in California, and is a second-year Master of Wine student.

"As always, the soul of a nation survives in the interstices of political and economic events. It survives, preeminently, in the arts. Art makes life better, even in the harshest of circumstances."
The Lost Horse Press New Poets | Short Books Series, edited by Marvin Bell, brings together three short books of poetry under one cover. Human Shade appears in Volume V, along with excellent poetry collections by up-and-coming American poets Jensea Storie and Valentine Freeman.
Praise for Human Shade
"These are wonderful poems. Like dim sum, I unwrap the surprise inside each one and am delighted by the poet's vision of koi, scorpion, bear, hand, shoes — Dear imagination of a boy."— Sandra Alcosser, author of Except by Nature
"Human Shade is a stunningly tender and perceptive collection, masterfully handled."— Kate Buckley, author of Follow Me Down
"…a sense of withering time, but never crass or over-obvious, always subtle and Debussyian… Powerful precisely because of its larger cultural context and veiled (until the end) message."— Hugh Fox, Small Press Review
"Robert Peake is a first-rate poet whose collection, Human Shade, is a cycle of very tender and very finely crafted poems…"— Tim Krcmarik, author of The Heights
"…a splendid new book."— Joseph Millar, author of Fortune
"…beautifully written, and moving, how the personal intersects with the world outside."— Karol Nielsen, author of Black Elephants
"Throughout, Peake manages the subject of his son's death both dextrously and eloquently… The lasting impression of the collection is … of strong work gathered intelligently and often beautifully around a poignant and well-executed set of core material."— Martha Sprackland, Sabotage Reviews
"…an amazing collection…stunning and vivid."— Carolee Sherwood, poet and blogger
"…delicacy, beauty, passion, hope, stream through the writers hands and lodge straight in your brain like cement."— Stephen Byrne, The Ranting Beast

Drew Oberlander drove home five runs and scored two more in Monday's 16-2 five-inning District win over Oakes, then Riley Miller's two-walk, four-strikeout no-hitter highlighted a three-inning 12-0 non-District nightcap.
"It was great to see the boys aggressive early in the contest," Valley City head coach Lance Lukes said. "Riley did what has become expected of Riley to do: he just pitched strikes and let our defense help him out."

April 2008: From the Village to Vogue: The Modernist Jewelry of Art Smith will honor the gift of twenty pieces of silver and gold jewelry created by the Brooklyn-born modernist jeweler Arthur Smith (1917–1982), primarily from Charles Russell, Smith's companion and heir. This small exhibition will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum from May 14, 2008 through May 17, 2009.
The presentation of Art Smith jewelry will be enhanced by archival material from the artist's estate, including his working tools, the original shop sign designed by Smith, period photographs of models wearing his jewelry, preparatory sketches, and account books. Presented along with Smith's work are twenty-three pieces of modernist jewelry from the permanent collection by such artists as Elsa Freund, William Spratling, Frank Rebajes, Eva Eisler, Ed Weiner, Claire Falkenstein, Jung-Hoo Kim, and others. Inspired by surrealism, biomorphicism, and primitivism, Art Smith's jewelry is dynamic in its size and form. Although sometimes massive in scale, his jewelry remains lightweight and wearable due to his awareness of the female form. The jewelry dates from the late 1940s to the 1970s and includes his most famous pieces, such as a "Patina" necklace inspired by the mobiles of Alexander Calder; a "Lava" bracelet, or cuff, that extends over the entire lower arm in undulating and overlapping forms; and a massive ring with three semiprecious stones that stretches over three fingers.
Trained at Cooper Union, Art Smith, an African American, opened his first shop on Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village in 1946. He later moved the business to 140 West Fourth Street, where it remained throughout his career. Not only one of the leading modernist jewelers of the mid-twentieth century, Smith was also an active supporter of black and gay civil rights, an avid jazz enthusiast, and a supporter of early black modern dance groups.
This exhibition is organized by Barry Harwood, Curator of Decorative Arts, Brooklyn Museum. The exhibition is supported by the Harold S. Keller Fund with additional support from the Donald and Mary Oenslager Fund.

Sure Amy, sure you do. You still masturbating to some of my old pics on the nudes that wont get you banned thread?
My question for this thread is about what kind of people you all end up dating - at least when it comes to superficial things like taste in art/culture etc. Do you date opposites or carbon copies. So like say someone here likes experimental rock, Spanish art, and Woody Allen. do you ever date people who listen only to the top 40 and and think woody allen is totally stupid? is it a mix? maybe you find people just like yourself too difficult to deal with and opt for normalcy by getting with people nothing like you. ... id like to know
You should respond with Coffee or some sort of other liquid that the person might go out and ask for "h2o" thinking it's one thing and get water instead. But that might be worth to much of your time for something like that.
Speaking of sex, my wife accuses me of occasionally trying to sleep-fuck her. Apparently I wake her up in the middle of the night trying to fool around with her and I don't remember a thing the following morning. Makes me wonder how many girls I scared away over the years doing that.
A sleeping coochie is hard to slip into
If a discussion about how to have sex with a sleeping girl is one of the 4 things per year that inspires you to post here, you should probably quit.
it was a middle of the night off the cuff response to a humorous scenario (between a man and his wife)... you're right though I'm almost there (quitting)... I remember when you used to be a prolific poster on this board... I'm surprised I've posted more than you now... I am 95% sure this will be my last coachella
"conversation is a game of circles and i'm getting dizzy-- bye"
I am officially single again, but there is someone that I have known for awhile I am interested in. The circle of lust/love continues. I'll make sure there are no surprises this time.

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of joining many of my fellow Influencers in Miami at the Email Evolution Conference. Hosted annually by the Direct Marketing Association's Email Experience Council (eec), the event kicks off the email conference year by bringing brands, advocates, vendors and thought leaders together under the south Florida sun to discuss, debate and share innovations and pressing issues central to email marketing.
Here without further ado are key insights, wisdom and lessons learned (including my own) from this year's event:
Lesson: All Things Old Are New Again
Email Evolution 2015 was a terrific conference – my first since re-entering the email industry last year. In dozens of conversations as well as the day two keynote and our own breakout session, I was delighted to hear that the professionals in this industry have stayed true to why we leverage email for driving customer engagement: because it offers the highest value channel for treating different customers/subscribers/members/ stakeholders differently. Personalization may be an old topic, but with today's technology and access to data we have a chance to actually revolutionize how we talk to each other using email!

Extended forecast: Charting the best fights remaining in 2014 Featured
- Written by Corey Quincy
Talk Boxing with fight fans at the KO Boxing Forum.
Extended forecast: Charting the best fights remaining in 2014, and analyzing the oncoming months of boxing.
Usually, throughout the year, boxing has a dim point or two.
January-February is a given, but boxing in the early Spring and even late in the fall often slumps a bit in favor of other, more-popular team sports airing which I won't dignify mentioning.
Still, after the initial slow start, in 2014, boxing has been very eventful. We've seen the hungriest hit their peaks, old veterans stay afloat, some upsets, and a couple of good, ol' fashioned thrill rides. That's boxing for you and I.
With that, we've also seen the severance of ties between CEO of Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaefer and Founder Oscar De La Hoya, Al Haymon's contractually obligated empire swell with new talent, and much more of that repetitious political impedimenta that the sport has long carried on it's back.
Again, that's boxing, and while I'd love to get sucked into a rant about that, I'm not going to waste either my time and energy, or your precious time either.
Onto this article's actual purpose: pinpointing and highlighting some of the best fights coming up in August, and throughout the rest of the year.
Remember, that any of these fights could be cancelled at any time, and new bouts can be announced. This is merely a speculative and adventurous article into the remainder of 2014 boxing.
Checkmate: Akira Yaegashi Vs. Roman Gonzalez (September 5th)
I'll concede that this fight might not be the cracker that previous fights of Nicaraguan Roman Gonzalez have been, but rather a good boxing match, fought at a high pace and even higher level of skill. This is totally worth the early wake and poor-quality Japanese television stream you have bookmarked.
As expected: Brandon Rios Vs. Diego Chaves (August 2nd)
A swarmer in Brandon Rios faces a cagey Southpaw in Diego Chaves.
Chaves has "sneaky", unexpected power, whereas Rios is in your face for twelve rounds, assuming he doesn't tire.
This fight is a recipe for war, and it is being paired with Jessie Vargas defending his WBA title belt for the first time against Anton Novikov.
Russian-American: Denis Shafikov-Rustam Nugaev (August 15th)
For some reason, two Russians are fighting on ESPN 2 in America -- and I can't wait for it.
Shafikov and Nugaev are both ruthless punchers that have only been shut down by movers and sharper boxers. Both can be found in the second half of the Lightweight top ten, and, Nugaev, has been one of the biggest finds of 2013-14. Good on Gary Shaw, and also good on Top Rank Promotions for leading the exciting Denis Shafikov to the US. This should be the payout.
Maybe: Tyson Fury Vs. Dereck Chisora (Unscheduled, early Fall)
Now that Fury-Chisora II is cancelled, Frank Warren is criminally refusing to offer fans refunds for his upcoming event. I'll leave that rant on social media where it seems every other media outlet has contained it.
Still, Fury-Chisora II was one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts of 2014, and Warren is promising to reschedule this intriguing Heavyweight grudge-rematch soon, even if most fans have already paid for it today.
Flyweights, baby: Amnat Ruenroeng Vs. McWilliams Arroyo (September 14th)
Ruenroeng has hit it big. It may have taken him a while in terms of years -- he's an older flyweight at 34 years of age -- but at 13-0, no one is doubting his ability to drill the best in the game, coming up with back-to-back wins over highly-regarded Kazuto Ioka and Rocky Fuentes in 2014 alone.
McWilliams Arroyo, besides being known as the only Puerto Rican with the first name "McWilliams" (don't confuse with his brother, "McJoe", also a world class professional boxer), is known for his blistering hand speed. He's a worthy challenger to Ruenroeng, having won a title eliminator against Froilan Saludar earlier this year.
Get ready for a show from...Thailand? You'll either see one of the best young competitors from PR hit the jackpot, or Ruenroeng fill a certain void left in a strong boxing minority by the fall of superstar Pongsakelek Wongjongkam.
Let's see what he's got: Shawn Porter Vs. Kell Brook (August 16th)
In this fight, Shawn Porter will be looking to chip and slice away the confidence of British superstar Kell Brook.
Brook is a sharp boxer, with a lot of float but plenty of sting. He has what it takes to hurt or stop Porter, but needs the time and space with Porter will not allow him. I don't feel that the winner of this fight will be indecisive, but how it will occur may be why we all tune in. Win or lose, this is Brook's chance to make a lasting impression on an American audience.
A rematch between Sakio Bika and Anthony Dirrell will also be featured on the undercard. The first fight was a war at 168lbs, and I would expect those patterns to remain.
Frampton's shot: Kiko Martinez Vs. Carl Frampton (September 6th)
The four-headed Super Bantamweight cluster remains. Carl Frampton vs Kiko Martinez will settle one piece of the puzzle, and either provide Martinez with some much-needed vengeance to be considered a real champion, or Frampton with a hard-earned title belt.
Good on the champion for making the trip to Belfast to settle his debt, although, even judging by his stampeding efforts in the first contest, it's hard to see this one going Kiko's way, he's been counted out before, though.
Now, it's time for Scott Quigg and Leo Santa Cruz to throw their protection plans out the window, because the winner of this fight is, without question, the second best at Super Bantamweight, besides the Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux. Don't say that name too loudly.
Hidden Gem: Marco Huck Vs. Mirko Larghetti (August 30th)
I have a feeling this fight could surprise a lot of people.
Italian boxers have gained a negative reputation for being a bit fragile, needing room to work and create opportunities.
For many of this domestic crop, that is true. For Mirko Larghetti...not as much.
Larghetti isn't quite up to par with Marco Huck in terms of power, is the smaller man, and is a massive underdog, but also shouldn't be completely overlooked, as he will stand in the pocket with Huck and make it a war for as long as he possibly can. We have a potential slugfest in Germany.
The big one(s): Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, Canelo
There will be four more Pay-Per-View boxing events in the USA through the end of this year.
Floyd Mayweather is locked in for a championship rematch with Argentine powerhouse Marcos Maidana on September 14th, while Manny Pacquiao is deadset on a return to Macau against sharp WBO Junior Welterweight titlist Chris Algieri on November 22nd.
Those fights are happening, but prepare to lash out more money if you want to catch Saul Alvarez and Miguel Cotto in bouts to be determined this November and December.
With the demise of talent-stacked undercards, I wouldn't blame you for saving your money, and buying something more worthwhile and affordable.
After all, on Mayweather-Maidana II fight night, you'll still be exhausted from staying up to watch Ruenroeng-Arroyo, so, it's a win-win for your wallet and beauty sleep.
The best way to stand up to any abomination in boxing is simple. If you are not satisfied by the business done by a promoter, or even just a certain Pay-Per-View event isn't held to the standard which you expect. You can withhold the one thing that these major promoters love most -- your laboriously earned cash.
The customer is always right.
Enjoy the fights, everyone!

1 large garlic clove, minced
Prepare the barbecue for medium-high heat.
Using a large heavy knife, mash the garlic with a pinch of salt into a paste. Transfer the garlic to a small bowl and add 1/2 cup of olive oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined well.
Brush the bread slices with 1/4 cup of the garlic oil. Grill until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Cut the bread into cubes.
Whisk the vinegar into the remaining garlic oil. Season the vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the grilled bread, tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, arugula, and shallots with enough vinaigrette to coat. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to develop, then toss again just before serving.

Sugar Land mayor quits race for DeLay's seat
Sugar Land mayor withdraws from race for DeLay's House seat
ERIC HANSON, Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle | August 21, 2006
SUGAR LAND — Mayor David Wallace will not run as a write-in Republican candidate for the congressional seat vacated by Tom DeLay.
Wallace announced his decision about the Congressional District 22 race today at a news conference at Sugar Land City Hall.
The decision comes after Republican party leaders from Fort Bend, Harris, Galveston and Brazoria counties selected Houston City Councilwoman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs as the party's choice to run in the November election as a write-in candidate.
No Republican will appear on the ballot because DeLay stepped down after winning the nomination in March. A court ruled the party could not replace him on the ballot.
The only candidates on the ballot will be Democrat Nick Lampson and Libertarian Bob Smither.

Nigerian hip hop singer, David Adeleke alias Davido who was recently dealt a slap by a Nigerian mobile police officer has been slapped again and this time around, it was a popular Lagos monarch, King Saheed Elegushi who slapped him.
Immediately after Dynamix Awards party which took place at Voodoo Lounge at the popular Elegushi beach in Lagos, the heavily drunk Davido's cousin, B-Red was involved in an intense argument with the socialite monarch.
Davido who tried to intervene in the argument allegedly touched the monarch in a disrespectful manner, a move which forced the monarch to give him a slap on the face.
King Saheed Elegushi's bodyguards later descended on Davido and his bouncers and they were given the beating of their lives.
Apparently, Davido & B-Red didn't know the guy is a monarch. Few minutes later, Davido and B-Red promptly apologised to the monarch after a crew member had warned them.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Louise Ridley, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 31 October 2013 11:40AM
The loyalty scheme, managed in-house by the department store, rolls out nationally this week after a trial launch last year.
It offers rewards such as events, prize draws and food and drink, rather than the traditional points-based scheme used by many loyalty cards.
The launch creative from Proximity includes the design of the 'my John Lewis' card and point-of-sale posters.
One poster features hands wrapped around a cup of coffee above a plate of cake, with the tagline, "inviting you in". Another focuses on a photograph of a slice of cake with the line, "your vouchers", acknowledging the rewards-based approach of the card.
Proximity has also created a welcome pack for the scheme, leaflets and direct mail and emails. The agency picked up the John Lewis CRM account in May after a four-way pitch.
The "my John Lewis" card will tailor rewards to its customers' interests, using data, and marks a move by the retailer to encourage loyalty and gather more information on its shoppers.
The art director for the work was Jo Jenkins and the copywriter was Sally Skinner.
John Lewis trialled the reward scheme last year, following in the footsteps of sister brand Waitrose and rival retailers Tesco and Boots.

Apricot and orange blossoms abound in this fantastic floral and nippy vino, from the valley of the Muses near Delphi
Olly Smith, Mail , 3rd November 2013
The gloriously named Apostolos Thymiopoulos is one of the current generation of young, go-getting Greek winemakers who are moving mountains. This white makes a terrific new food-friendly white for the festive table. Its exotic, spicy fruit, stylishly integrated with woodsmoke, resin, basil and wild thyme scents and flavours, is truly reminiscent of the hot, dusty vineyards it comes from

Several private Indian firms want to pay off debts by raising up to $5 billion this year through share sales, emboldened by a surge in the stock market and an anticipated economic recovery after Narendra Modi was elected as prime minister.
Leading the equity issuances in the private sector are highly leveraged firms such as GVK Power & Infrastructure Ltd, Adani Enterprises Ltd and others in capital intensive industries such as infrastructure, metals and telecommunications, bankers say.
These companies borrowed heavily in the past few years, when India's economy was one of the fastest growing in the world, but were squeezed by the slowdown in growth last year and the slide in the rupee to record lows.
In most cases, banks stopped giving fresh loans to these indebted companies, whose loans often exceeds their equity several times over, leaving them with few options but to tap the equity market to raise money to reduce their debt.
"There will be a stampede of Indian companies going to the markets and trying to reduce leverage to take advantage of this some kind of Modinomics," said Eric Mookherjee, a Paris-based fund manager at Shanti India, which manages Indian stocks.
"The access to capital is much easier now, and you need to clean up your balance sheet before you get into the investment mode again. So, the engine has now been started."
Bankers say 2014 is poised to become the best year for equity offerings in India since 2010, which saw some $24 billion raised by state-run and private companies.
In 2014, state-run firms are expected to raise up to $6 billion via share sales, which, in addition to the $5.4 billion already raised in the first-half of the year and the anticipated issuances by the private sector, would bring the total amount to around $16 billion for the year, according to investment bankers' estimates and Thomson Reuters data.
The rush to raise capital could gather speed if the federal budget on July 10 paves the way for a revival of the economy after the longest spell of growth below 5 percent in a quarter of a century, bankers say.
Business-friendly Modi was elected by a resounding majority in May and since then, the benchmark stock market index has risen nearly 9 percent to touch record highs, lifted by his pledges to boost growth and create jobs.
Some bankers, however, cautioned that "Modinomics" may not provide an instant revival, meaning indebted firms, whose fortunes are linked to the domestic economy, may see a delay in the pick-up in earnings growth.
"Everybody is getting very euphoric but not sure if all these expectations would be met in the near future," said a senior investment banker at a large …continued »

Deutsche Telekom teams up with RSA to build hack-resistant Internet
In this NSA and GCHQ controlled world that mimics 1984, Internet Service Providers are now having to step in and try and stop the spy agencies of the world from prying into your private lives.
News is coming from Deutsche Telekom, who has teamed up with security firm RSA, to work on building an Internet connection that can detect attacks early on, which will be known as "clean pipe" Internet connections, which push data through hack-resistant lines. The German ISP isn't giving us all the details just yet, but these connections will be tailor-made for small- and medium-sized businesses who are willing to pay a fixed monthly fee.
We should have more details on the "clean pipe" Internet connections early next year when it begins to roll out.
Los Angeles wants to see citywide broadband, for free
The Los Angeles City Council has approved a draft of RFP (or request for proposals) which would allos businesses that are interested, to develop a citywide Wi-Fi network.
Building this free broadband network "would require fiber to be run to every residence, every business, and every government entity within the city limits of Los Angeles," according to LA's Information Technology Agency GM, Steve Reneker, who talked with Ars Technica. Better yet, LA residents would receive free fiber Internet, a speeds of between 2Mbps and 5Mbps, with plans scaling up (if they choose to pay more) to gigabit.
Deutsche Telekom wants to restrict users' Internet speeds
Germany nearly turned into Australia there for a minute, with Deutsche Telekom attempting to introduce Internet throttling, where users' Internet speeds would be capped once they downloaded a certain amount of data.
But the Cologne Regional Court ruled that this would not happen, strengthening the rights of consumers. Deutsche Telekom has enforced users downloading over 75GB be throttled, something which will take place in 2016. The industry thinks Deutsche Telekom could split its customers into two groups: those who don't mind the capping, and those who consume digital data in many forms, especially the growing web form - YouTube, streaming services (music, TV, movies), and next-generation gaming.
The problem here is that the term Deutsche Telekom is using, is 'flat rate' where consumers connect to an Internet service through the fixed network, with a fixed price, for a pre-defined surfing speed, and 'do not expect restrictions' which is where the Civil Chamber of the Court will base its decision. At the moment, the judgment is not yet final.

UK researchers working on 'Li-Fi' see 250x the speed of broadband
While I potter around on my 8mbps connection, a team of researchers from the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, St Andrews and Strathclyde working on the Ultra-Parallel Visible Light Communications Project are claiming to have reached some epic speeds on Li-Fi: 10.5Gbit/s.
Yeah - that's fast. How does Li-Fi work? Well, it works by utilizing specialized LED bulbs to transmit data through parallel streams of light that are completely undetectable to the human eye. Harald Haas, a German physicist, and one of the project leaders at the University of Edinburgh said: "If you think of a shower head separating water out into parallel streams, that's how we can make light behave."
In order to reach the dizzying heights of 10.5Gbit/s, the researchers used a micro-LED bulb which was developed over at the University of Strathclyde, which transmitted 3.5Gbit/s through three primary colors - red, green and blue.
Hong Kong's CSL tests out LTE Advanced, pushes 300Mbps
This is all being done while I'm on a piddly 8Mbit ADSL connection in Australia, which costs me $149.95 per month. LTE Advanced is being tested in Hong Kong, with 300Mbps LTE Cat 6 radio network being tested throughout Hong Kong by Hong Kong's CSL.
The network achieved 300Mbps by aggregating their 20MHz carriers at both its 1800MHz and 2600MHz LTE bands. At the moment, there are no smartphones that feature LTE Cat 6 radios, so CSL partnered up with ZTE to create an oversized device that was used for demonstration purposes. You can see in the shot above, they used four very, very thick antennas for the MIMO 2x2 implementation.
An FTP download speed of 172Mbps was achieved, which is a heck of download speed. If you're based in Hong Kong and wondering when you'd be able to jump on the 300Mbps service, you'll be waiting until early next year.
DisplayLink shows off 4K streaming over USB 3.0... and USB 2.0
IDF 2013 - If there was a company who could make 4K streaming over USB 2.0, it would be DisplayLink. Back at Computex 2013 in June, we gave DisplayLink our Best of Technology award for its USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Dual Video Adapter by DisplayLink and Targus.
At IDF this year, DisplayLink were showing off a new adapter that was capable of sending 4K video through a tiny USB adapter. In an ideal situation, the system would shoot video over USB 3.0, while giving users full connectivity options for any compatible DisplayLink device. This still works over USB 2.0, with the dynamically compensating data compression might skip a beat here and there.
DisplayLink's Director of Marketing, Andy Davis, said that the DisplayLink tech has no issue driving multiple displays, even at Ultra HD resolutions, the issue will come down to graphics drivers and video decoding capabilities of the PC it is connected to.
USB-IF to develop Media Agnostic USB Specification
Today, the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) announced that development has started on the new Media Agnostic USB Specification. This new spec will allow wireless storage solutions to communicate over the USB protocol without the need for a physical connection. More importantly, the goal of the specification is to allow wireless gigabit transfer rates leveraging existing USB infrastructure.
The WiGig Serial Extension v1.2 specification will provide the initial foundation for this new spec. This WSE specification will be formally transferred to the USB-IF from the Wi-Fi Alliance.
"We are pleased to see the USB-IF use the WiGig Serial Extension in its development of the Media Agnostic USB specification," said Edgar Figueroa, president and CEO of Wi-Fi Alliance. "Advanced wireless usages of serial bus technology have the potential to deliver great benefit to users."
Additionally, wireless devices implementing the MA USB specification will retain compliance with the SuperSpeed (USB 3.0) and Hi-Speed (USB 2.0) protocols.
HDMI 2.0 announced, capable of 4K at 60fps, 32-channel audio and more
HDMI 2.0 has finally been officially announced, arriving at a perfect time to be baked inside of the 4K TVs flowing out of manufacturers' factories. HDMI Licensing took some time of out of its day to announce the new standard, which is quite powerful.
We'er looking at a bandwidth capacity of 18Gbps, which has enough room to squeeze 3840x1260 at 60fps, which is quite nice. HDMI 2.0 also has support for up to 32 audio channels, "dynamic auto lipsync" and additional CEC extensions. The connector itself remains unchanged, which means we should be all systems go for backwards compatibility.
The cables themselves also won't change, which is refreshing, with the HDMI Licensing group claiming that current high-speed Category 2 cables can handle the increased bandwidth.
RumorTT: Amazon is working on its own wireless network
This is something I didn't expect to read on the weekend, but US retail giant Amazon is rumored to be testing Globalstar's wireless satellite network to see if it could build a wireless service of its own.
If they did, the timing couldn't be better, as Amazon's video viewing audience is continuing to balloon, reaching 38 million unique views last month. On top of that, the amount of time that consumers are spending watching videos on Amazon has doubled over the last six months. What is helping fuel this? The company's Kindle and Kindle Fire range of tablets.
If Amazon built its own wireless network, it would give them total and utter control over its content distribution, which is the same as printing money essentially. Amazon could soon be running its own wireless network, blasting out content to Kindle and Kindle fire devices, to anyone across the United States.

My mom's brisket is remarkably minimalist: just meat, onions, salt, pepper, and the longest slowest braise you ever witnessed.
Until recently, I thought it was Daughter Bias that allowed me to make the following statement: my mom makes the best brisket.
But then I tried other people's brisket, and I read The Brisket Book, which Alex's parents got me for Christmas, and I now feel more qualified to explain why this brisket is one you should add to your repertoire.
First, it's extraordinarily simple. As we know from the Beer Beef Stew in In the Small Kitchen, beef, onions, and liquid create remarkable flavor. And that flavor doesn't really come from the onions or the liquid. It's from the beef, which has lots of fat on it and becomes tender as you cook it.

PayScale's compensation data indicates that an overwhelming majority of employees gave pay raises last year. For millions of workers, this is good news. However, raising wages across the board is a daunting scenario for most businesses.
Crystal Spraggins, SPHR
Today we're releasing the much anticipated 2015 Compensation Best Practices Report.
Based on data from more than 5,500 business leaders, the report reveals attitudes about compensation, hiring, and retention as the economy continues to recover from the recession. This latest research report shows that while most companies plan to grow in size and offer salary raises in 2015, employers are still very concerned about attracting and retaining top performing employees, which creates serious doubts about their ability to compete effectively in our rebounding economy.
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
A 2014 survey released by PayScale revealed some interesting information about compensation and workforce trends. PayScale surveyed over 4,700 companies of all sizes throughout several different industries in several different countries (although a majority of them were in the United States). Much of the information collected implied that a majority of businesses are doing well and looking to maintain or grow in 2015. Employers reported having plans to expand the workforce, achieve better financial performance, and give raises.
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
Your Human Resources department most likely gathers and analyzes workforce data on a daily basis but you may not even realize that's what you're doing or how you can make the most of it. If you're like one of the hundreds of thousands of companies that have upgraded their technology in the last several years, you probably have a wealthy of data about both past and current employees that you could be utilizing for more than just informational purposes. Though it does require some investment to establish criteria and additional databases, most companies have the beginnings of a fruitful workforce analytics system right under their noses.

Update: One of the hosts of this year's WordCamp Toronto has replied in the comments below.
There are a lot of uses for a blog. I like to use mine to post new ideas for projects, or to discuss/propose controversial issues. But today I'm going to use it for the other purpose: venting.
WordCamp Toronto may or may not be coming up soon. I have been a pretty avid attendee here in Toronto. I spoke at the conference in 2009 and got hooked. I attended in 2010, and was hopeful to attend again in 2011. So in February or March the site went up for WordCamp 2011 and the first thing I looked at were the cost of the tickets and the venue to make sure it's not in the middle of nowhere. The tickets were a little high ($35 for early birds and $55 for not), but more strangely the venue wasn't printed in big bold letters on the home page like I would expect.
After some digging I found they had not yet chosen a venue and were waiting to see how many attendees there would be. Fine, that's reasonable if I think through it. Cutting it close, but these people have likely not run a conference before (the WordCamp Toronto conferences I have been to in the last three years have been run by as many different people and organizations). So I dutifully paid my $35 to let them know at least one more person would be in attendance.
And then… they redesigned their site and it was sexy and edgy and fun. And it still didn't have the venue information on the home page. But, wait! There was a Venue section on the site! Hope! Joy!
It linked here. You could win a ticket by guessing the mystery location! Wait… what? Your only clue is "It's in the city of Toronto." Recent population data says that 2.7 million people live here. Needless to say it's not a small city and there are tens of thousands of possible venues.
I am all for promotion and I get that this is probably being put together by amateurs, but this is crossing the line. Not only is there no venue, there is a page that reads to me like a desperate attempt to crowd source venues that almost never gets updated, and a contest to guess where it might be. Plus there's no shortage of misinformation on Twitter about what's happening now and their registration page is down (that I pray to god isn't true given their no refund policy — good thing PayPal does charge backs!).
This kind of silly game dilutes the value of WordCamp as an event and a brand. I am fortunate enough to live in Toronto this year, but the previous years I've had to fly in to attend. People can't do that this year without information about where they should stay.
WordCamp Toronto has been on a definite decline in recent years but this takes the cake. It looks unprofessional and untrustworthy, especially to those who might want to come in to the city to take part. Better to not have a WordCamp at all than to have a poorly put together event that tarnishes a good brand. This feels more like a con than a conference.
9 Responses to How Not To Run A Conference: WordCamp Edition
Jeremy Clarke says:
Wow that is crazy dude. As an organizer of WordCamp Montréal for 3 years in a row I can tell you that what's going on with them is not ok in my book. In the past we've always waited as long as possible before selling tickets if we didn't have a venue, and we would certainly never mess with people and make them wonder if there's a venue or not!
I was also at and spoke at the 2009 event which was awesome. It was actually organized by Brendan Sera-Shriar, who has since moved to montreal and joined the core team for WCMTL. When I applied to speak at WCTO 2010 they never even wrote back to me despite my huge amount of speaking experience, since then I've been doubtful about the whole thing.
If you're looking for a great WordPress event you should come down to WCMTL2011, it's Jul9-10 and Ma.tt will be there
Shannon Smith says:
I spoke at WordCamp Toronto 2010, and was disappointed by the event. This year's event seemed oddly organized, so I didn't apply to speak again. If I had, I'd be out a couple hundred in train fare. I'm also an organizer for WordCamp Montreal. Please come and see what we do here (after we announce the venue). We've been organizing the event for 3 years, with the same team, and great success year-in, year-out. All WordCamps are not like this event.
Tm Mahdi says:
Hi Terry and Responding Comments,
Thank you for taking the time to vent on this topic. You have brought up some good points and our committee have discussed them in and out for the longest time when planning this event. We are aware of our performance and communication in have been lacking and for those who have supported us along the way – we really appreciate their efforts to make this year noticed. We know there is a lot of hard work inputting together an event in this caliber and we have spent 100's of hours to bringing it this far. We love the WordPress community and for all who have helped us.
Agreed, this is not your typical WordCamp. We did want to appeal to the interest of blogging from a beginner stand point to a hardcore frame integration level.
Point being, we support the WordCamp Community and all WordPress users. We are working with WordCamp Central to make an effective transition. We have believed in being honest from first of day. And such do not feel its fair to keep WordCamp Toronto tickets for a WORD11 event. All registered guests will be updated on our action plan to refund ticket sales. I kindly ask that you stay tune as we work with our partners and supporters.
Much Appreciated,
tm mahdi / host
Terry says:
Thanks Jeremy and Shannon! I'll definitely try to make it to WordCamp Montreal.
TM: Let me know how things progress, and what the timeline might be.
Janet Barclay says:
I've been holding off on registering until they announced the venue and list of speakers/topics and am now glad I did! In the meantime, I've been rescheduling meetings and other activities to keep this date open, so at least now I can get on with my life!
Alfred Ayache says:
@tm: I'm disappointed you're making announcements in a random blog comments section, rather than offically on the conference site. This just fuels rumours. Don't you have a communications plan?
My advice is update the wordcamptoronto website with the latest news NOW. And going forward make announcements on the website first; then you can mention it on other blogs and twitter and such, and link to the canonical announcement.
PS: so sorry to hear WordCamp11 is being cancelled. (well, is it being cancelled or postponed? I've heard both.)
Tm Mahdi says:
Thank You all for your comments and responses.
We have scheduled today as the official release of the news. Various aspects of the news were not meant to come out on individuals' Twitter feeds or on blogs, and we apologize for the confusion that has arisen. The news will be on the official conference site as planned. Please look there for all the official information.
We have spent the past week to inform our speakers, sponsors and supporters of the news and in preparation to this big day. We have also worked with them to make this a smooth transition for all.
We have complete respect for the WordPress Community and for all WordCamps, and we are more than happy to provide our support on the next WordCamp Toronto when a new committee/host is approved by WordCamp Central.
I personally am sorry to have inconvenienced you with this news. And hope we can work together to present a more fruitful and united community as the days progress. Those of who know me and the events we have done to give back to the community, can admit to it.
I appreciate your patience.
Kindly Yours,
tm mahdi / host
[...] I was out and about this morning I came across Terry Smith's post about his criticism of the "upcoming" Wordcamp Toronto 2011. I put upcoming in [...]
Christina says:
Hi Terry,
Thanks for drawing attention to this subject. I thought a lot about whether to register for WordCamp, but didn't want to do so unless the site offered more information about what workshops would happen in each of the four "streams" the site mentioned.
Now with the aid of your post and the announcement of the cancellation and rebranding of this event, the dots are much easier to put together: it's not that I was unable to find the information I needed – there was simply no information to find at all.
it's clear that the people behind WordCamp 2011 were woefully underprepared.

Notes & Reviews:
Composer Kenji Bunch has been attracting much attention lately, both nationally and abroad. Also a concert violist and bluegrass performer, his music offers an eclectic mix of roots music, modern rock and jazz - but mostly within the context of sophisticated classical form. The title piece, Boiling Point, (featuring a teakettle!), begins gently before coming to a hard-rock-style "boil". The five movements of String Circle flirt with various types of classic roots music (ragtime, blues, country) - yet you know a classical voice is at work. Three other fascinating works round out the program. The Grammy nominated ALIAS Chamber Ensemble is a forward looking group of 11 musicians (strings, winds, harp, etc.) that cultivates an "out of the box" approach to their programming.
American Record Guide, March / April 2013
Kenji Bunch is a composer who combines the more or less standard classical chamber string group with recognizable American southern and traditional musical styles. His String Circle is a perfect example; with movements titled 'Lowdown', 'Shuffle Step', and 'Porch Picking'. The pieces are well written and they manage not to sound corny.
Recording information: Steve and Judy Turner Hall, Blair School of Music, Vand.

String circle
1.This is string ensemble going through Adamsish, Appalachian machinations
2. More sentimental, Joplinish, boogy-woogie.
3. Elegyish negro-folksong, in an Americana pastoral style. Big Britten pedal ending.
4. Simulated banjo picking in orchestra pizz.-kinda cute. Which goes all Scott Joplin again.
5. Scary funk�dreamed up by a classical musician who got stood up at the prom. This is unintentionally humorous.
6. Drift
Piano with Messiaenish chords with clarinet that goes very, very pretty. �Drift� into made-for-TV soundtrack land.
7. 26.2
Strings and horn that takes us on a punishing trip through a sweets factory.
8. Luminaria
Why isn�t this fellow writing for a MOW, where a cancer patient falls in love with the doctor, who happens to be her dad-where she survives but her parakeet dies in a drive-by shooting. The harp arpeggios is where the parakeet ghost flies away.
9. Boiling point
Can�t wait for �the pedal to the metal� bombast here. Stopwatch, kick drum, and elongated motiv from �Jaws�. I�m boiling. in a hocking hell! This wasn�t so bad until the snare drum starting bonking 2 and 4, and it went scary absurd. Add scary glisses. This guy is nuts! It�s like a kettle boiling! Who knew!

Customer Reviews of Simpsons Season 3
One of the best seasons8/29/2003
With new and cleverly-animated menus, this is the best Simpsons boxed set yet. The extras are still meager, but the third-season episodes are some of the best the show has produced, including ones in which we meet Krusty's father, see Bart join Fat Tony's mob, watch the Flaming Moe become a hit drink, and see Homer become a country singer's manager. The producers still haven't figured out a good way to present the extras for each episode, so the menus are still a bit of a maze.
