My winter will be spent in the garage trying to get this thing sorted out...
If anyone will be needing a rekluse cutch in the next couple weeks, let me know. I will be selling it on here to pay my entry/membership fee and insurance on the bike
Cant wait to race my first rally!
Yes! Some competition! Wait, 2x the HP, 3x the torque, and half the weight. Think anyone would notice if I put the TW200 wheels and plastics on the SE and ran it in the Lite class?

I came into contact with Samsung's Smart View iOS App yesterday, and thought it could use a little bit of a redesign ;)
The new Icon is super clean and minimal, and carries over the Samsung Smart TV icon. Not much else to say about it.
The App UI has been lightened up a bit with brighter colors. There's a new unified menu layout, and now the App shows the current TV model that your connected to (the old way was just to show a photo of blades of grass).
Check out the iTunes link for the original App Icon and UI.

The Queensland Seafood industry is hitting back at the Commonwealth's plans to create marine park zones off its coastline, with a 'Voice Your Choice' campaign coming from grass roots level and taking aim at the government.
Industry fears commercial fishing could lose 70 boats and thousands of jobs
Samies Girl Seafood Markets in Hamilton Brisband has launched the 'Voice Your Choice' petition encouraging people to band together with the statement that 'Australia's Oceans & Seafood Should Be Available to Australians – Not Locked Away in Extensive Marine Parks', and with the help of Federal Member for Brisbane, Teresa Gambaro.
The petition was the initiative of Samies Girl managing director Kristina Georges who wants the industry to have its say and the community to weigh in on the debate.
On the site Kristina states: 'We come together with a common view to oppose the Marine Parks that have been proposed. Australian citizens must have the choice of Australian seafood produce for its quality, freshness and health benefits and knowing we are supporting Australians through Australian Seafood produce which has been recognised as sustainably managed.
'We need to take action NOW so that we can continue to take our families fishing on the weekend in the tinnie, so we can go into a fish and chip shop and buy Australian fish, and so Australian fishermen and women can continue to sustainably fish in our waters.'
Queensland Seafood Industry Association (QSIA) president Geoff Tilton said he believed the decision to increase the national network of marine reserves from 27 to 60 was simply a strategy to satisfy the Greens agenda and win votes.
'It's been done without properly doing the science about how it's going to impact the availability of seafood and fish products to the growing Australian population,' he said, adding that the compensation package announced is about $100 million.
'I'd like to remind them when they zoned the Great Barrier Reef (for marine parks), it cost the Howard Government $230 million in compensation to the various businesses who were impacted.'
The Voice Your Choice petition aims to send a clear message to the Federal Labor Government and Teresa Gambaro said she would be standing up for her electorate members by speaking in Parliament and encouraging people to get involved.
'I urge everyone in the seafood industry supply chain from coastal communities, fishing stakeholders and consumers to take this last chance and sign the Voice Your Choice petition. It's the last chance to stop the unnecessary lock up of great swathes of Commonwealth waters, with the final 60-day consultation period for a national network of marine parks now open,' she said, referring to the impact on the various sectors such as the charter boat industry, tackle industry, the boating industry, superyachts, marine retailers, commercial fishing industry and their families and the four million plus recreational fishing community.

The details and the cotume overall are not bad.
The pose though is completely unbalanced, also the proportions and anatomy is somewhat weird.
One other thing to look for is the hypersaturation of the colors, makes it hard to read what's happening in the picture.
Not a fan of the style but tis decent.
And I agree with Blue exceedingly mono-tonal, not enough variation in the palette.

hey nice manga style going on here, your painting is good in terms of the style you're following. The composition is very wallpaper style, but I guess thats what you're going for. One Critique for the eyes, You have chosen to make them very big , but theres something about them which seems to be ignoring the form of face in general. They dont wrap arround the head so well, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, nice. will check out your site now

It looks alright... The rendering on the body looks a bit too "Simple" and geometric. Aside from the other things mentioned, those black lines are totally killing it for me. IMO, if you render it this well, you should not include those lines.
August 11th, 2006 #7
the rendering is really great on this, i would maybe tone down the background to help pop the character more, but other than that, real impressive work
August 11th, 2006 #8
Is a nice image, nice colors and design...I like it
But her eyes are making her look strange and unhuman in a bad way. I´m not talking about the size, I´m talking about the double circle iris and the camera flash intent by putting a dark-unsaturated color instead of pure black.
Is something that I get when I look at both your characters you posted, love everything, but I don´t like to look the eyes, they seem a little dead in a way .
August 11th, 2006 #9
Mm, nice - not exactly my "taste" but I really appreciate the simplistic (not the right word for it, but I think you know what I mean...) rendering. Good colors, cyan is a tricky color... I don't know - seems cyan only "exists", or rather when cyan exists like that - that everything should take on a bit of cyan as well... hmm, dunno, cyan is tricky.
I guess what I'm trying to say is the cyan bugs me a bit I think it works fine as her hair and in her costume but it's too powerful as the background perhaps?
Anyways, yeah I'd like to see more

It's a very nice piece IMO. I love the clouds and the way you treated her skin. Good lighting too! But I'm not too fond of neighter the style nor the cyan. My taste^^.

For over 60 years, IWC has been training generations of watchmakers in its own workshops. Candidates need to be deft with their hands and have a flair for technology. After completing their training, most of them remain loyal to the company in northeastern Switzerland for many years.
Photos — Maurice Haas Date — 8 October, 2011
Josh Spear is a nomad in the Internet era. Restlessly travelling the globe, unceasing in his search for everything new and announcing it to the enormous community that follows him in cyberspace. He works anywhere and everywhere: at conferences, in hotel rooms, at the poolside (as recently in Capri), at airports or even on the street, seeking out the trends that will soon be imitated by the rest of the world. Or he's out on the Web, tracking down new ideas and business models that might be attractive for his clients.
He is, as "Time magazine" once called him, a "coolhunting blogger". American and just 26 years old, he has been running his Internet-based business big time for the past six years. He started out doing a course in journalism but soon got bored because the university refused to accept the blog as a credible and reliable medium.
Aged just 20, he set up his own website, joshspear.com, where he started reporting on the everyday things that interested him: restaurants, design, fashion, art, music and a whole lot more besides. Initially, the only people interested in his tips were his family and friends but the thing began to snowball and soon developed a dynamic all of its own.
In the meantime his countless practical tips have developed into strategic expertise about the Web, and today he advises big companies worldwide who do not wish to miss the entry into a new world. It comes as no surprise that his talent has not gone unrecognized by the World Economic Forum. He started out as a speaker – one of the youngest ever to appear in Davos – but has already joined that select and influential group known as Young Global Leaders.
His digital worldview leaves virtually no area open that is not being profoundly changed by the Internet, and those who ignore it run the very real risk of suddenly finding themselves out on a limb in the real world. Spear goes even further. "The relationship between people and the digital world is transforming culture in ways we can't even begin to imagine yet." The website www.undercurrent.com was designed to ensure no one has any excuse for missing the bus to the future. Undercurrent, the company Spear in his role as digital strategic consultant founded with this purpose in mind, was deliberately given a name that describes precisely what is taking place below the surface worldwide. He is challenging the world's business leaders to listen to the young people who surround them because, "They really know what's going on."
Digital genius Josh Spear gets his biggest kick out of using the Internet for collective campaigns which, wherever possible, transcend national borders. Compared with this, the Web's ability to do other things such as attracting attention, exerting influence, sharing stuff, encouraging cooperation, is almost secondary. His prime goal is to "make the world a better place". The Internet is an opportunity for just that. "Our job is to use it by making more things happen together."
For over 60 years, IWC has been training generations of watchmakers in its own workshops. Candidates need to be deft with their hands and have a flair for technology. After completing their training, most of them remain loyal to the company in northeastern Switzerland for many years.

A Girl Scouts lawsuit filed against the city of Hazelwood, Mo. has been thrown out by St. Louis County Circuit Judge Maura McShane. Carolyn Mills filed the suit on behalf of her daughters Caitlin and Abigain, who were told earlier this summer by city officials that they weren't permitted to sell Girl Scout cookies on their driveway due to zoning requirements.
The officials told Mills that she had to obtain a business license; when her application was denied, she filed a lawsuit against the city. Although the lawsuit has been thrown out of court, the current codes haven't been amended, which means that future Girl Scouts in Hazelwood could run into trouble with city officials.

The hunt for TCAT
Day 20
Fernie, BC
It's time to get back onto the TCAT! Well, that was the plan anyway. All that was between me and the start of todays segment of the TCAT was a bridge, which was out of course: remember all the water that Alberta got two weeks ago? Yup, you guessed it. And the detour around that bridge was 90km!!! To end up just 2 km from where I started but on the other side of the bridge.
An hour later and I'm on the TCAT again. Hurray! It started off quite nicely with some easy gravel roads that where taking us through some really nice country side and far far away from any traffic.
Managed to hit traffic of an unusual type...
Maybe a hour after the bull blew his load, I came upon this, of course:
To bad, cause the road was getting real interesting and was taking us through some real nice places.
But had to turn around. So double back and hit the TCAT a bit further down. Only to get this one.
That's when I said: fuck this! Alberta's TCAT is crapped for this season. So headed back to the tarmac, just as rain was about to arrive.
Big O's take on todays events
Ah, I got nothin'...

Wherever LeBron James goes, the attention and media follows. He is always at the center of everything when it comes to basketball. If he dominates a game, then everyone says it's expected. If he has a poor game, they'll say he'll never be on Jordan's level. That always boggled my mind that people actually have started to compare him to Jordan, despite James only winning one championship.
After being blown out by the San Antonio Spurs in game three, the Miami Heat has been searching for answers on what went wrong. While they have been searching, the media has focused on just one man and that is LeBron James. They failed to recognize San Antonio's 16 three pointers or outrebounding Miami by 16 either. Of course, Danny Green and Gary Neal got mentioned for their performances. Still everything was directed towards James.
The word going around is that James doesn't have a killer instinct and tends to pass too often. The second may be a bit true, but since when was passing too often a bad thing? This is a team that has Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, and other talented players right? This isn't the Cleveland Cavaliers, where it was a beaten down Shaquille O'Neal, Antwan Jamison, and Mo Williams.
People are starting to forget that Dwayne Wade is still a top ten player in the league. Despite his struggles and playing out of position, Chris Bosh can still be productive. Also, they have a wide array of shooters in Ray Allen, Mike Miller, and Mario Chalmers. With all the talent around him, why wouldn't James pass? This is a team that clearly is stacked with talent and has shown in the past that they can dominate.
As for the talk about James not having a killer instinct, it might be the most thoughtless term you can ever label him with. I'm aware of people having poor memory because they are too busy watching Skip Bayless clog their mind with idiocy. In case you want to judge James' killer instincts, do these clips seem "killer" enough for you?
Remember when people criticized James couldn't win the big one in Cleveland? Did he lack the killer instinct? No it came down to putting actual talent around him. Wouldn't you want to leave a team if you averaged 38.5 points a game, eight rebounds, and eight assist yet your team still lost? Here's a clip of James carrying Cleveland to a game one victory over Orlando.
How about the next clip in Miami when James was going up against the Celtics, who were up there with Chicago as Miami's biggest rivals. After Boston controlled most of game five, Miami knew that playing game six to Boston would have been extremely difficult to win in. James took over the last two minutes and Miami was on their way to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The last clip I have for you is the infamous game six in Boston. Miami was on the brink of elimination and Erik Spolestra was close to being fired. James ended up having 45 points and 15 rebounds in what was a statement game from him. Miami lost only more game in the playoffs after that. After this game, it was pretty much James sticking both middle fingers to the media and telling the world that nobody would stop him.
Basketball is a team sport and will forever be a team sport. Does LeBron need to start being more aggressive? Of course he does due to these circumstances. He shouldn't be criticized to this extent for being passive. San Antonio is an excellent defensive team that can cover a lot of space, despite being considered slow due to the age of their star players. Gregg Popovich has his team always well organized.
What needs to happen for Miami to win is simply better all-around play on both ends of the court. They need to limit San Antonio from getting clean looks from three-point range. They have to start rebounding better, especially since San Antonio isn't necessarily that big. If they continue to allow second-chance opportunities, then San Antonio can easily capitalize on more three-pointers.
LeBron James is the best player in the world and will be needed to step up. That doesn't mean he needs to shoot 25 shots per game the rest of the way. San Antonio is making Miami's role players beat them. It'll be up to players like Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole, and even Chris Bosh needs to start contributing more. They aren't going to let James get easy looks, whether it's from jump shots or driving to the basket.
I'm sure James will be more aggressive, but he'll continue to pass the ball and find the open man. Miami has surrounded him with too much talent not to succeed. Of course, they still need an actual center but they'll have to wait until July for that. When he needs to start taking over, I'm sure he'll be more aggressive and bring out the "killer instinct" he's always had. One game doesn't change a player and that will be proven throughout the rest of this series.

Difficulty - Easy
A Naga Jolokia Bloody Mary just sounds like manly fun and a great way to fire up a classic with hot new blood. This recipe features the Henry Family Farm Varietal Chile Extracts Ghost Pepper Extract made by David Rosengarten. This is a party-sized recipe suitable for a punchbowl. Read the entire article by Mark Masker here.
Before you go on to another recipe, stop and give this a try! This is not the famed "traveling fruitcake" recipe—the the mythical fruitcake that never spoils and is never eaten! Nope, this is a green chile fruit cake, new and improved, and sassier than ever. Read more great spicy cake recipes by Dave DeWitt here.
This recipe is courtesy of Harald Zoschke, who was trying to recreate a version of green chile stew he enjoyed at De La Vega's Pecan Grill Restaurant in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Note that due to the use of smoked pork, this recipe does not require searing the meat first, and it doesn't use additional salt.
The article containing this recipe appeared on the Burn! Blog here.
Here is a tropical change from the usual celery seed coleslaw. Allow the dressing to sit as long as possible to build up the heat. From the article Mango Madness!
Now let's go wild and whip up a fancy-dancy dessert from something no one else uses for that purpose. The lowly—but elegant—avocado is actually a fruit, so let's treat it like one for this refreshing, healthy, and surprising dessert.
This is the almost universal way meat is cooked every day, as well as for festive get-togethers. It is about as close to the national meat dish of Afghanistan as one can get. Lamb is commonly used, but beef can be substituted.

Seldom Am I Completely Stumped About How To Install A Program Or Pluging
Posted 22 May 2014 - 08:26 PM
I was wrong.
To my surprise the package included the zips for "Builder-Depot-5.0.24", "Builder-Market-5.1.24" (I don't know what they are or the difference between them) and 13 additional plugins.
(Of course, none of them are entitled "Exchange")
I've spent a bit of time searching both here and on the web for documentation or a video that would help me with my confusion....and unfortunately...nada (although there were a lot of videos).
If there were just one..or two plugins (and if I could actually identify what was what) maybe I'd just dive in and figure it out as I normally would, but for some reason I'm just not comfortable with that this time.
Of course, I'm sure that there ARE explanations, documentation, instructions and videos avaiable that I haven't found and don't know about......BUT!
At this point I'm truthfully "stumped" about how to really understand what is going on and where and how I actually get started.
Maybe "Exchange" is much more complicated and involved than I thought or anticipated....or maybe I'm not as savvy as I thought I was.
At any rate I need some help......even just to get started with it.
Can someone help me out!

What you purchased are additional premium addons for Exchange, and Builder themes that work well with Exchange,

Thank you for that.
Man, was I confused!
Glad I asked the question before I really attempted anything.
Guess I pretty much jumped and made an "impulse buy" due almost entirely to fact that that I think that Backup Buddy is one of most brilliantly functional pieces of software that I have ever purchased....therefore Exchange must also be brilliant..
Thank again for answering what I guess turned out to be a very uninformed question.

Many factors are considered in evaluating your application for admission to CU-Boulder. Although your academic performance in secondary school is the most important indicator of success, we also consider other factors, including the trend in your grades, the academic rigor of your high school courses, your personal essays, and your potential contributions to the campus community. The SAT/ACT is not required unless you would like to be considered for merit-based freshman scholarships.
The table below shows the academic performance of the middle 50 percent of the fall freshman class admitted to CU-Boulder, based on a 4.0 U.S. GPA scale. Twenty-five percent of freshmen had higher GPAs and 25 percent had lower GPAs. Using this chart, you can compare your academic performance to those that got admitted into the fall freshman class. We expect the standings for next fall to be similar.
|High School GPA for Middle 50% of Admitted Freshman Applicants
by College/School
|College of Arts and Sciences
|3.27 - 3.91
|College of Engineering and Applied Science
|3.82 - 4.0
|College of Media, Communication and Information
|3.46 - 3.94
|College of Music
|3.51 - 4.0
|Leeds School of Business
|3.48 - 3.96
|Program in Environmental Design
|3.35 - 4.0
Required for academic admission consideration:
Online Undergraduate Application for Admission
$70 nonrefundable application fee
Official secondary school transcript*
Personal essays
Letter of recommendation
Required for immigration documents:
Official test scores on the TOEFL/IELTS
Financial support statement
Scan of your passport**
Required for scholarship consideration:
SAT or ACT test scores (Required for ALL US citizens regardless of country of schooling)
Official certified copies of your previous academic records (transcripts) are required. All records should be submitted with original stamps. For the following countries, only the official English language transcript is required:
|South Africa
|South Korea
|Burkina Faso
|Sri Lanka
|New Zealand
|Canada (Unless in Quebec)
|Commonwealth Caribbean
|Territories of the Pacific
|Hong Kong
|Saudi Arabia
|Sierra Leone
For all other countries, all records should be submitted in the native language with original stamps. All credentials written in languages other than English must be accompanied by a literal certified English translation.
For your secondary school attendance (grade 9 through grades 11, 12, or 13), submit all official transcripts, mark sheets, or grade reports, and any certificates, degrees, diplomas, or statements of graduation or completion. If you are currently attending secondary school, send all available records at this time, including a list of your courses in progress.
For your college/university attendance (tertiary level), submit all official transcripts, mark sheets, or grade reports, and any certificates, degrees, diplomas, or statements of graduation or completion from each college or university attended (except any campus of the University of Colorado). Documentation is required regardless of the length of attendance, whether or not courses were completed, and whether or not you believe the record will affect your admission or transfer credit. Failure to list and submit transcripts from all institutions previously attended before enrolling at CU-Boulder is considered to be a violation of academic ethics and may result in the cancellation of your admission or dismissal from the university.
If you are admitted while still attending classes, your final records will be required upon completion of the course work or program.
Transcripts may be sent by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. E-mailed transcripts must come from a counselor or other school official. E-mailed transcripts from a student are not accepted.
Students from China and India must be particularly careful to submit complete official academic credentials (for university level work). Every page of each document must bear an original stamp or seal of the institution. Chinese students must submit both Chinese language and English translations of transcripts and diplomas and must submit diplomas showing every degree awarded. Students from India must submit individual marksheets for each semester or year, in addition to separate diplomas showing every degree awarded. Request your transcripts online.
All academic documents received by the University of Colorado Boulder become the property of the university. The university scans all transcripts into an electronic application file and destroys the paper copy shortly after that. We are unable to return any original or official transcripts to the student. If you will have trouble replacing your transcripts or any of your academic documents, please contact the International Admissions Team at email@example.com for possible alternatives to sending your original or expensive documents. This does not include transcripts from U.S. schools, which must be official and must be sent to our office directly from the U.S. school.
** To reference before issuing your immigration documents. If you already have a passport, please make an electronic scan (PDF) and attach it to your application as an "additional application item" in the "Upload Documents" section of the online application. If you do not yet have a passport, please submit the scan once it is available to email@example.com.
Your file will be reviewed after the following items have been received:
If you are academically eligible for admission to the university, your file will then be checked for proof of adequate English proficiency, financial support, and other information required by law prior to issuing immigration documentation.
Undergraduate applications are reviewed and all decisions are made in the Office of Admissions. Missing information or credentials delay application processing and may affect your chances for admission.

The researchers tried to account for the mothers' education in their assessment.
"We took into account mom's education and family income because we have seen before in other studies that mothers who are better educated tend to breastfeed for longer, and also read and look at books more often with their children," Oddy explained. "We took these factors into account in the analysi so as not to skew the results -- and babies breastfed for longer still did better in terms of their educational scores at 10 years of age."
It's been long understood that breast milk is of great value to infant neurological development. "Nutrients in breast milk that are essential for optimum brain growth, such as long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, may not be in formula milk," the researchers noted.
The new data should not discourage mothers of daughters from breast-feeding, added Dr. Ruth Lawrence, director of the Breastfeeding and Human Lactation Study Center at the University of Rochester School of Medicine in New York.
"Because we know the constituents of human milk are so important for brain development, I would not be the least bit discouraged [about] breast-feeding a girl by such data," said Lawrence, also a member of the advisory council of La Leche League International, a breast-feeding advocacy group.
Earlier this year, Oddy published a study suggesting that infants who were breast-fed longer than six months were less likely to have mental health problems as teenagers.
This new study ''adds to growing evidence that breast-feeding for at least
six months has beneficial effects on optimal child development," the researchers wrote. "Mothers should be en

Many times when people are bored they turn to activities that can be rather uneventful or sometimes even deviant. In the case of Google engineer Paul Carff, his bout of boredom lead to a project that is neither deviant or uneventful and the term bad-ass definitely comes to mind. Meet KegDroid, aka "Betsy", Carff's automated kegerator that is controlled by a Motorola Xoom tablet and an NFC card.
KegDroid is essentially an Arduino-automated beer dispenser that that uses an NFC card to link to your Google account. Once linked up and as long as you are authorized, a special app pops up that allows you to pick from the two beers on tap and select the amount of brew to be poured. KegDroid is currently just a personal project that belongs to Carff but in the video he mentions that we would like to see it available around the world in the future. That means that we are stuck dreaming about owning such a cool toy for the time being. Jump past the break to see Carff's full demo video and to see what could be in store for us in the future.

One of the most reported complaints about the ASUS Transformer Prime is the trouble it has locking on to a GPS signal. Now, whether or not that is even a valid complaint for a tablet can be argued until blue in the face. I personally think using a tablet for a GPS unit is a silly thought and would never think to Velcro my Prime to my cars window or strap it to my bike's handlebars. But who am I to judge? And apparently ASUS doesn't want to judge either because they want to keep their positive customer service in tact and have offered Prime owners a solution – a free GPS dongle.
All a Prime owner needs to do is simply register their tablet and in a few weeks will receive this tablet add-on in the mail. Speaking of receiving a dongle in the mail, our pals at Engadget already got their dongle and put together a little video showing how it can drastically improve GPS reception. The Prime managed to lock on to 16 satellites in only a matter of seconds and should prove to be more than enough signal for anyone. It may not be the prettiest of solutions, but hey, at least it free. Jump past the break to check it out in action. Read more
Reasearch In Motion has decided to drop the major bombshell and stop the ability to sideload Android apps on the Blackberry PlayBook. It's reasoning? RIM highlights 53 percent of surveyed Android developers believe app piracy is either somewhat of a problem or a huge problem. This seems to fall in line with recent findings showing apps being published without (Android) developer consent. Here's Alec Saunders, VP of Developer Relations summing it up best:
"[P]iracy is a huge problem for Android devs, and we don't want to duplicate the chaotic cesspool of Android market."
While it seems like it's a direct attack on the Android platform, there's actually some reasoning to his statement. The
Android Market Play Store has a number of quality apps available, but every now and then users will have to search through a multitude of poorly developed apps in order to find the real jewels. RIM wants to keep the integrity of its own app store by keeping its app ecosystem full of quality apps— even if the number is dwarfed by what is found in the Play Store. That means reducing the number of unofficially ported apps to the PlayBook in favor of a smaller number of apps that were developed, tested and certified by developers and RIM.

For many DROID RAZR owners out there, the DROID RAZR MAXX is a topic of bitterness and jealousy. I would certainly not be impressed if my cellphone carrier decided to release a nearly identical version of my new phone with a gigantic increase in battery life and sell it at the same exact price only 2 months after mine was released. However, for the handy men and women out there, there is a solution that might be of some interest. Cellphone Repair Shop has created a DROID RAZR MAXX conversion kit that will set you back $110. Apparently the phones have identical hardware except for the back housing/battery cover. The kit includes:
The base kit doesn't seem to include the tools necessary to unscrew and pry the back cover off, however you can request to have those included for an additional cost. I realize that this may not be the perfect solution for some, but for those that want to double their battery life, this would be cheaper than breaking contract or even using an upgrade to grab a RAZR MAXX. Let us know if this kit will be the answer to your DROID RAZR woes in the comments.

Interesting news coming from the Motorola camp as they are now offering their Xyboard tablets with nano-coating technology. The good news is that is means the Wi-Fi only tablets are now water-resistant, allowing users to simply wipe off spills in case of an accident. The bad news is that this doesn't apply to the 4G laden Verizon models, and no, Moto isn't going to upgrade them either. So if you already bought a Xyboard from Verizon, you are just going to need to remain being careful with your device around liquids. Kind of a lame move on Motorola's part, it would've been nice to see an upgrade option even if was for a nominal fee. No word on whether Motorola teamed up with Liquipel or HzO, or just created their own coating.
In case you were wondering, the prices remain the same as before. $399 for the 8.2-inch and $499 for the 10.1-inch, but this time around Moto is throwing in a free $90 portfolio case with purchase. If you have been looking to get a new Xyboard but have been holding out, now would be the time to get one. Hit one of the source links below to make a purchase.
Update: Looks like they were always splash proof. In fact this is from the original presser about the DROID XYBOARD 8.2 and 10.1:
Both are equipped with scratch-resistant displays that use Corning® Gorilla® Glass to stay brilliant and a coating of water-repellent nanoparticles makes them resistant to accidental spills and splashes.
Even Rob missed this in his review. With so many devices and so many specs, sometimes things fall through the cracks. We're sorry about the confusion.

In this day and age, technology is designed to make our lives simpler. We no longer need to pull over to a rest area to use a payphone. Paper maps are quickly becoming a thing of the past. We can now carry thousands of books with us without requiring years of weight training. The devices we carry with us every day are rapidly becoming indispensable.
So this is why we freak out when we suddenly don't have access to our smartphones, either through damage or loss. This single point of failure is why we have a growing market of protective phone cases, insurance, and remote wipe software. How can we guarantee we'll never lose or break our phones? Only one way I see…remove the device from the equation.
If there was no physical device we had to keep track of, there would obviously be no fear of losing it. But the device is what gives us the power to do all those wonderful things. So what if we natively had the same abilities our smartphones have without having to carry anything around? Enter the Android Brain Implant™ (ABI).
Okay I'll admit it, when I am out in public I secretly think to myself when looking at random people, "pew pew, got you." What I mean by that of course is that if I had a Nerf gun or laser tag device I'd run around and shoot them at random folk. Now before you look at me like I am weird and all, you can't admit that you wouldn't do the same or at least think about doing the same. When I saw the XAPPR AR idea I got excited about this becoming a reality. Well AppTag Laser Tag looks to throw their hat into the ring as well. As they put it:
"Imagine over 1,000 people all playing together across an entire city, or 10-20 friends battling it out in a park! AppTag will allow for Real World First Person Shooter Games…it's like Call of Duty in the real world!"
How can anyone not like a "real world" Call of Duty-esque experience? Well much like the Laser-etched Galaxy Nexus backplates there is a campaign to make this a reality and all they want is some help from us folk in the form of a donation. Their goal of $30,000 has already been reached but that doesn't mean you shouldn't continue to donate. Those who pledge money from now until the end of the campaign (9 days from now) will get a guarantee of delivery from the first batch and at a discounted price to boot! It will come with a free app so that you can play immediately when the gun is delivered. You can get it all for $39.99 for a single unit or $74.99 for a two pack and it will be available in June online and in stores.
The company is also releasing the SDK for the developers to build their on augmented reality app that takes advantage of these guns. You can hit the source below to donate and get in on this augmented reality laser tag campaign. Like I said you have nine days to get in on the discount pricing and first-batch shipments. I know I'm going to. Enjoy!

We talked plenty about Sony's Xperia line of phones over the past couple months, the Xperia P and U, Xperia S, Xperia Ion, Xperia Play2 and the Hayabusa(?). Now, it's time to see what the Xperia name can really do… on the racetrack. The Reckless Racing 2 racetrack. In real life even!
The crazy people behind the Xperia Studio have taken a couple of MGF cars and completely automated them to be driven entirely by the physical buttons of the Xperia Play and the touchscreen of the Xperia S. I don't suspect this is anything that you think about when shopping for a smart phone, let alone will attempt to do, but it's pretty bad-ass nonetheless. What you are about to see is a couple of grown men playing with some seriously cool toys. Check out the video below and let us know what you think.

A subdued Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez had no excuses for his team's dismal performance Saturday night at the Rose Bowl. But he admitted to feeling embarrassed. ''I felt we were ready to play tonight, but we weren't,'' Rodriguez said after No. 25 UCLA overwhelmed his 24th-ranked Wildcats 66-10. ''It starts with me and the staff. This does not define who we are, but give UCLA credit. ''We could not get any stops. We did not run, throw or block. We didn't do anything right tonight. I think I have an idea of what went wrong with our strategy, but I need to go back and check the film to figure it out.'' Johnathan Franklin gained 162 yards in becoming UCLA's career rushing leader and redshirt freshman Brett Hundley passed for 288 yards and three touchdowns for the Bruins, who raced to a 42-3 halftime lead. ''This loss stings, it seems like everything went wrong,'' said linebacker Jake Fischer, who entered as the Pac-12's leading tackler. ''We've beat some good teams this season, bu...

Annex 4
December 5, 2011
Mr. Al-Fareek Ghazi Abdelrahman Al-Omar
Undersecretary of the Ministery of Interior
Ministry of Interior
P.O. Box 11, Safat
Kuwait City, Kuwait
Dear Mr. Al-Fareek:
Human Rights Watch is currently preparing a report on police abuse of transgender women in Kuwait following the passing of amendment to article 198 in the Kuwaiti Penal Code which criminalizes "imitating the opposite sex".
During a visit to Kuwait in February 2011, a Human Rights Watch research team spoke to 40 transgender women who alleged that police had subjected them to abuse upon arrest and detention, including sexual assault, humiliating and degrading treatment, and physical abuse that may amount to torture.
We would like to ensure that our report on the issue is both accurate and reflects official information and perspectives. We have outlined below a number of problems the transgender women we interviewed say they face, along with illustrative cases. We look forward to your comments and explanations. All pertinent information received by December 26, 2011 will be reflected in our report. We are also willing to come to Kuwait to discuss these matters in person with you, at a date that is convenient for you.
1. Sexual Abuse, Physical Abuse, and Torture: All the transgender women interviewed without exception reported that they suffered some form of sexual abuse or assault at the hands of the police. Twenty-six of those interviewed say that police blackmailed them into sex at the risk of arrest, and if they refused they were physically abused and humiliated. In all cases, the sexual encounter happened outside the police station – either in police cars or at pre-arranged locations. Additionally, all of those arrested say that police touched them in a sexual manner. Six transgender women told Human Rights Watch that the police forcibly sexually assaulted them.
Transgender women interviewed by Human Rights Watch say that sexual harassment and humiliation also take on different forms, such as parading them around the station in their underwear or asking them invasive questions about their personal sex lives.
Half of the interviewees who were arrested report being physically abused by the police. All of those arrested report being slapped, while ten reported beatings with fists, and two reported beatings with cables and being burned with cigarettes.
Please explain what mechanisms are put in place to monitor police behavior within police stations, and how police misconduct outside of police stations is monitored. Please also clarify how many complaints of sexual abuse against police you have received from individuals arrested for allegedly violating amended article 198 and what the outcome of those complaints were.
2. Arbitrary arrest: Amended article 198 criminalizes "imitating the opposite sex in a public place" without specifying what exactly such imitation entails. The law does not criminalize any specific act or behavior, but rather an appearance whose interpretation is left entirely up to the police, giving them free reign to decide who is breaking the law and how it is broken. Of the 40 transgender women we spoke to, 14 claim that they were arrested while wearing male clothing, including the dishdasha. Three other interviewees also reported that police told them they were arrested for having a "smooth face," a "soft voice," and a "feminine watch."
Four others also claim that they were arrested after police forced them to reveal their underwear at the time of arrest to determine whether they were wearing male or female undergarments.
Please clarify the nature and range of what constitutes "imitating the opposite sex", and on what basis police are authorized to arrest individuals dressed in clothing in line with the gender on their identification papers. Also, please clarify what measures can be taken by individuals who feel that they were unfairly arrested and detained according to this law, and what measures the government may take to prevent such arbitrary arrests from happening.
3. Procedural Violations: Transgender women have told Human Rights Watch of a range of procedural violations carried out by the police besides arbitrary arrests outlined above. Reports of such violations include pre-charge detention well beyond the four day period permitted by Kuwaiti law, and failure to inform families of detainees of their whereabouts. In four cases former detainees claim that police lied to their parents about their detention when asked. Such acts constitute enforced disappearances, a grave violation of human rights and the rights of detainees.
Additionally, seven transgender women told Human Rights Watch that they were arrested while wearing male clothing, but that the police forced them to dress in female clothes before taking their pictures for their criminal files as a way to falsely prove their guilt.
They also claim that police have subjected them to humiliating examinations and bodily inspections by forensic doctors, even when they were arrested while wearing male clothes.
Two transgender women told Human Rights Watch that they were placed in pre-charge solitary confinement, one of them for a total of nine days.
All the interviewees who were detained and released claim that they were forced under duress to sign a declaration stating that they would not "imitate the opposite sex" again or be "found in suspect places at night," regardless of when or where they were arrested, or what they were wearing at the time of arrest. They also claim that police shaved their heads before releasing them.
Please clarify on what legal basis and in what situations police can authorize bodily inspections by a forensic doctor. We would also like to understand on what legal basis do individuals charged with violating amended article 198 either get a court case or are forced to sign a declaration and released? Please also explain the basis in Kuwaiti law for head shaving of individuals charged with violating amended article 198.
4. Redress for Violations: Human Rights Watch has asked transgender women who say they were abused by police why they did not submit complaints. The majority said that they were threatened by the police with re-arrest for violating amended article 198. Since police carry out these arrests arbitrarily with no monitoring and with impunity, Human Rights Watch believes that the victims are indeed at risk if they complain about police treatment. Additionally, three transgender women have said that police arrested them for violating amended article 198 while they were at the police station to report car accidents, and others in the same situation said that they were threatened with arrest if they did not leave immediately.
In one case documented by Human Rights Watch, a transgender woman said she was arrested at a checkpoint in September 2009. She says that the arresting officers took her to the traffic police station in Salmiya and attempted to sexually assault her, and when she resisted, Lieutenant Khaled Al-Sabah put out his cigarette on her hand, telling her he wanted to give her "something to remember me by". She says he wrote a report claiming falsely that she ran a red light and suspended her driver's license for 3 months. She met with Maj. Gen. Thabet al-Mhanna and submitted her testimony to him after he heard her tell her story on TV. Human Rights Watch has no knowledge of whether the officer in question was investigated or punished.
In another case, a transgender woman told Human Rights Watch that she submitted a complaint to the Hawalli police station in May 2010 against a police officer who she says raped her in the Criminal Investigation Department. She maintains that the officer in question was neither investigated nor punished.
Please clarify what procedures exist for citizen complaints against police mistreatment, how investigations are conducted, and whether measures are put in place for impartial and independent investigation. Please also explain the measures put in place to deal with threats of retribution against civilians who file complaints. We would also like to know how many complaints of police abuse from individuals arrested for allegedly violating amended article 198 you have received since 2007, and what the outcome of those complaints were.
We look forward to reading your comments on the above issues, as well as any additional comments you wish to provide on the issues of police abuse and arbitrary detention of those suspected of "imitating the opposite sex."
As noted above, we will reflect in our forthcoming report all pertinent information you provide to us by December 26, 2011. We also reiterate our interest in meeting you in person to discuss these issues, before our report has been finalized and when your comments can be fully incorporated.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Sarah Leah Whitson
Executive Director

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/4/13
(Eds: With AP Photos.) By JIM LITKE AP Sports Columnist Sidney Crosby's overtime goal to beat the United States and win gold for Canada at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics is one of the two or three most memorable moments in the history of the sport. Nearly 35 million viewers were tuned in to watch it, roughly twice the average audience for the Masters, the Daytona 500 and the NCAA basketball finale. Yet that highlight has never been shown, even once, on a scoreboard inside a National Hockey League arena or the league's website or its TV shows - even though Crosby and then-U.S. goalie Ryan Miller are two of the NHL's biggest stars. The reason why is the beginning of the answer to a very touchy question: Will there be NHL players at the Sochi Olympics when the games begin less than a year from now? After the NHL's second work stoppage in less than 10 years, its fans have been so thrilled to get their games back - TV ratings are up, up, up across the board - that most simply assumed the ...

KTM 530 EXCR- More better!

Looking forward to reading about your project. I currently own a 05 300 EXC. Just starting to get back into dirt riding again after too long of a break. I want to do some mods to the 300 to make it a little more maneagable for my ridiing skills. Been very interested in the 530. I would love to have it as a second tool for the short rides of pavement to the riding areas. My 300 is the first KTM I have owned. I must say that it is by far the best dirt bike I have ridden so far. I just need to bring my skills back up to par, to make full use of the machine. Then I might sell a couple of bikes in the garage and get a 530.
Oh, you should consider coming out to NM, sometime for a rider clinic. I am sure you have ridden down here. Very nice place to ride dirt bikes.

Valuation of intangible assets and the purchase price allocation process
A purchase price allocation is typically needed in the transaction execution and integration stages of a transaction. It can be done on a preliminary basis during the financial due diligence phase to give an indication of assets and liabilities likely to be acquired, particularly intangible assets, together with their likely impact on future earnings. It can then be formalised after completion of the transaction which involves discussions with the company's auditors to ensure that all financial impacts are quantified and agreed prior to the relevant review or audit date.
We can assist clients by:
- Providing support to the acquisition decision making process through an indicative analysis based on available information and comparable transactions in the industry
- Identification of intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination under both accounting and taxation frameworks
- Performing a purchase price allocation exercise based on assets and liabilities acquired as part of a business combination
- Provide advice on the annual impairment process as part of general financial reporting requirements.
We have a dedicated team with expert knowledge in valuation, tax and accounting disciplines which offer advice on the purchase price allocation process and the identification and valuation of various intangible assets.

BGR claims to have got their hands on Nexus Prime specs from a "trusted source". While many of the specs including a 4.65-inch 1280 x 720p Super AMOLED display seem accurate, we are on the fence about others such as the 5-megapixel backside camera. The report also mentions curved glass for the display, which was shown in the latest teaser video (image above), and a 9mm thin design. It also seems to confirm the device will be branded "Samsung Galaxy Nexus", rather than its Nexus Prime codename, and be landing exclusively on Verizon in the U.S.
Some of the specs mirror those rumored in the past including a TI OMAP 4460 dual-core 1.2GHz Cortex A9 processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, HSPA/LTE capabilities, NFC support, and a 1,750 mAh battery.
The report also claims to have confirmed the device will be a "pure Google experience" and not run TouchWiz or any third-party customizations on top of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) when it's unveiled next week.
We'll of course be bringing you the latest announcements from Samsung's Mobile Unpacked event on October 11th.

Although housed in a modern-day brick complex, this institution was founded in 1773 and is the country's oldest museum. To the delight of fans of Antiques Roadshow, the collection is especially strong in South Carolina decorative arts, from silver to snuffboxes. There's also a large gallery devoted to natural history (don't miss the giant polar bear). Children love the permanent Civil War exhibition and the interactive "Kidstory" area, where they can try on reproduction clothing in a miniature historic house. The Historic Textiles Gallery features rotating displays that showcase everything from uniforms and flags to couture gowns to antique quilts and needlework. Combination tickets that include the Joseph Manigault House and the Heyward-Washington House are a bargain at $22.

A large, detailed historic museum concerning Charleston and the area. There's much about the area's prehistory, plantation life, the Revolutionary War, and the Civil War, as well as local fauna (stuffed) and flora which are displayed in dioramas. Also has a collection of local ceramics, musical instruments, and ironwork, as well as some examples from the museum's collection when it was more a display of oddities. Well worth seeing.
