Far Cry 3 review: Open-world gameplay'heavy, heavy emphasis on 'world'
http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-conten...y1-640x360.png Ubisoft
When people talk about what makes a good open-world game, they usually talk about the freedom to do whatever they want. Of course, you can't really do whatever you want in even the most forgiving open-world game. Your actions are limited not just by what the designers say is or isn't possible, but by the virtual environment surrounding you'the world that's being opened up. While it's the 'open' part that gets the most attention when discussing these games, more often than not it's a strong, compelling world that separates the good open-world games from the bad ones.
Far Cry 3 is a case in point. The Rook Islands are probably the most enjoyable and richly detailed new video game environment since last year's Arkham City. The islands are characters in themselves; a tropical paradise with everything from thick jungle and rolling hills to subterranean caves and undulating rivers. They feel like a place that has been around long before you got there, and one that will continue to grow and evolve long after you leave.
It's a bit of a shame the islands often seem much more real than the people that inhabit them. You play as Jason Brody, an unassuming kid whose thrill-seeking vacation with his friends gets a bit too thrilling when they're all captured by a group of pirates. Naturally, being pirates, they threaten to ransom you all before killing you or selling you into slavery. Through a mix of personal ingenuity and sheer craziness from the captors, Jason is the only one to escape the makeshift prison, quickly vowing to save his friends and get revenge on the pirates who put him in this position. He's soon aided by a trope-standard Magical Negro character that gives him some mystical 'tatau' (read: tattoos) that grant Jason some relatively unimpressive powers (more on those later).

our new mini.
we recently purchased a miniature horse.. and am just now getting pics up.. she's pretty fat.. and ive been trying to slim her down.
La Chocolot Princess Miniature
If any of you recognize any of the names on her ped let me know.. ive found out about a few names.. del terra and double o.. music land .. owsley fork..
What a cutie! Congrats on the new addition.
Love those cute little legs!
What a cutie pie! She has the cutest munchkin face ever!
Aww so adorable! Is she in foal?
Oh my goodness! What a cutie patootie!! I ove her dark chocolate coloring and such a cute muzzle! Just wanna give her kisses on that face. What a doll.
In foal? I dont really know. She was big like that when we bought her. Im hoping she's just overweight.. The people we purchased her from did own a stud at one time, not sure when they sold him but they did own one.. I asked them if she had ever been exposed to a stud and they said she had not. Then again, they told me she was 34 inches tall when infact she's only 32.. they had measured her from her rump to the ground not her wither and thought that was her correct height.. they also told me she was registered when infact she wasnt registered at the time. It wasnt a registration, just an application paper.. so I had to do that stuff.. so yeah, I really dont know if she is or not.. it's possible their mini stallion could have gotten her and they either lied or dont know any better.. I guess we'll see.. I dont think she is.. but ya never know.
she does seem to have gotten bigger since we've had her.. we've had her for about 6 weeks and does seemed to have gained weight.. there's alittle bit of a difference between the side pic of her I took yesterday and the one I took when I bought her for registration... going to the vet today for our dog so.. i'll tell him about it and see what he says.. sad thing is.. if she is.. i wouldnt be able to get it registered because I dont know who the daddy is.. im assuming it was their miniature but dont know his name.. guess I would have to find their phone number.
What a cutie, congrats!
she is so pretty! my old man would go crazy to meet a horse as small as he is! Mine is not registered either, he was a rescue.
Do you have any idea at how far along she could be? It's hard to tell on some horses if they're pregnant or not. We didn't think my colt was even developed then one day, boom! here he was. I know you can check under her belly for larger veins, but right now i think she just looks fat, but there could be a baby!

Warehouse workers will embark Thursday, September 13, on a 50-mile protest march. Warehouse Workers United says the objective is "to urge Walmart to eliminate illegal and inhumane working conditions in its contracted warehouses in Southern California."
The pilgrimage will take workers from Riverside to Los Angeles. Along the way they'll be sleeping on church floors and relying on community organizations for support and meals.
The marchers will be joined daily by supporters and elected officials. Here is the march's route map. Follow it on social media using the hashtag #WalMarch.

A good HP game could be made if they didn't use HP Characters
By TheMasterDS 20 Comments
The Half-Blood Prince Quick Look and the demo of Order of the Phoenix I found on Live Marketplace both seem to be all kinds of terrible. In terms of gameplay they look bland, and fail to capitalize on the fun that might be had being a powerfull wizard in Harry Potter's universe. First off, for gameplay, a rail flier and a potions mixer are two of the worst ideas ever. There must be ways to make it fun, perhaps you have to guide the ingrediants from one side of the bowl to the other, Viva Pinata Style, and after they touch the bowl churns a bit and more ingrediants are poured in quick. That might be no fun as well, but it'd be gameplay.

Good customer service is expensive.
Good customer service is less expensive than bad customer service. A smaller call center staffed with decently trained and compensated CSRs is far more cost effective than watching the headcount continuously grow and churn to deal with the increased call volume due to poorly trained staff dumping calls, permaholds, supervisor escalations, previous callers figuring out they've been lied to, etc. At some point, your call center will outgrow its allotted space, and then you'll have to deal with a costly move or additional locations. Both companies I worked for experienced this, one of them had to move TWICE in 4 years, and the cost was mindblowing. Then, as you lose a lot of your customers, there's the cost of downsizing.. all of which could have been avoided by just properly hiring, training, and compensating a solid, core group of people to take care of your customers and make sure they didn't become unhappy with the thought of giving you their money.

When was the last time we had one fly so far off its planned flight path, intentionally evading radar, and probably crashed half way around the globe from its intended destination? This case is so out of the ordinary, it wouldn't have made sense to plan for it (up until now). Sure, lets throw another $100 worth of batteries into it. But what if that wasn't enough? Lets throw another $100 in to be sure. But is that really enough?

The fire sprinklers with the visible glass tubes are activated when heat causes the liquid inside to expand, shattering the glass and opening the valve. No melting occurs.

How Do You Want to Celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Confederation?
Minister Glover asks the question to New Brunswick's Francophone and Acadian communities
MONCTON, NB, March 22, 2014 /CNW/ - Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, conducted consultations in Moncton today to seek the views of New Brunswick's Francophone and Acadian communities on how they would like to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Meanwhile, all Canadians can have their say by completing an online questionnaire at Canada.ca/150.
Quick Facts
- Since December 2013, the Government of Canada has held 18 roundtables all across the country on the celebrations in 2017. Numerous people who are active in their communities and represent a wide range of organizations or groups were able to make their voices heard.
- More than 8,000 Canadians have already completed the online questionnaire on Canada's 150th anniversary.
- The data collected will provide insight into the types of activities and projects that resonate most with Canadians and will help us plan the celebrations.
- Over the next three years, as we approach the anniversary, we will celebrate key historic milestones that have defined our country.
"The 150th anniversary of Confederation will be a golden opportunity to celebrate our French-speaking communities across the country. I urge New Brunswick's Francophone and Acadian communities to tell the government how they want to celebrate their history, their values, and their traditions with all Canadians."

Warning: This article contains spoilers. If you haven't watched Sunday's mid-season premiere, you may not want to read below this line.
Has Rick Grimes ever looked worse? Seriously, homeboy is MESSED UP! His face looks like it was on the receiving end of a relentless barrage from a one-eyed maniac…which, technically, it was. The guy can barely walk. The guys can barely breathe. What CAN the guy do?!? In tonight's Walking Dead midseason premiere, the answer was pretty much nothing. And Rick's failure to protect both his family and the prison finally wore on young Carl, creating a tension between the pair as they sought safety and shelter. Combine that with Carl's feelings of teenage invincibility and you have an episode that tested the father-son dynamic like never before. We spoke to star Andrew Lincoln to get his take on the episode, which also included a freaky Michonne flashback dream and an even sadder end for Hershel than we could have ever imagined. (Also check out our midseason premiere Q&As with Danai Gurira and episode writer Robert Kirkman.)
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: There's really an interesting shift in the father-son relationship here in terms of Rick not being able to take care of Carl. It starts at the very beginning with Rick not being able to keep up with Carl and then continues when Rick can't kill the walker and his son has to save him.
ANDREW LINCOLN: It's almost shot-for-shot from the comic, and it was always the most emotional part of the comic when I read it. I think everybody relates to that. Every man relates to that story because someone said to me years ago, "You never get bigger to your father." That's the secret to a happy life, but everybody has to. So much of being a teenager is about finding your own voice, finding your own way, including your parents. So I loved it, I felt charmed by it, it was very moving to be involved in it. I spent most of my time on the couch — it was beautiful! I kicked back and let the kid work. I'm hoping this is my future! [Laughs] But it was an amazing moment, this child turning into this young adult. And you see the crew all watch him and have these satisfied smiles and see this young man lead the show. It was a very cool experience.
EW: I liked the way Robert Kirkman wrote it and Chandler played it – he's doing it the way teenagers do, feeling reckless, thinking he's bulletproof.
LINCOLN: I loved it. That's the thing that Robert's got in him, it's a real, bulletproof cynical humor. He's actually a sweetie. He's got a very soft heart and he really taps into that in the graphic novel. And I thought it was a wonderful script, so balanced. And also the story of Michonne in there as well and the extraordinary dream sequence which we've never done before and I'm curious to hear what you thought about.
EW: I talked to Danai, and it's so interesting the way it was done, because not only is it a dream sequence, but it's jumping around in time. It takes you a moment to figure out what's going on and to see her in that environment — or several environments intersecting at once, actually — was fascinating.
LINCOLN: That's what I'm excited about with this back eight — there's a boldness to some of this storytelling that I haven't seen before and it's really thrilling. For us, the actors that have been on it for four years, to have that and be able to play these things on a tangent is really exciting stuff.
EW: What about this scene at the end when Rick tells him "You're a man, Carl." Has there been that fundamental change in their relationship?
LINCOLN: Yeah, I think so. It's a massive thing, to feel that you're a failure in your son's eyes. And behind all the fear and leaving him behind is the fact that he knows, he calls him out. He knows exactly what the boy thinks: He thinks I'm a failure and that I made the wrong call again and I cost everyone's lives. Of course, he carries it. That's Rick, that's what he does. He takes responsibility for everything on the planet. It's part of his curse but also his strength. That's why people follow him. But yeah, in that beat, I think that's what I loved about the episode — it's come the full circle. Throughout all of this, he has this fear, and he realizes he can't kill him. But I do think there's an unspoken space between them and both of them are willing to concede. That's what I love about this back eight, there's so much space in it, but it's all filled.
EW: I loved the line at the very end to Carl after you see Michonne at the door: "It's for you."
LINCOLN: It's one of my favorite lines. Someone asked me what my favorite line was in Atlanta, at a comic convention, and I said, "It's for you." And they said "What?" And I said, "Wait, you'll see." It's the perfect line. It's the f—ing perfect line! The only problem with perfect lines is that you can only f— them up.
EW: It was so rough watching the whole Hershel death scene in the last episode, but what was even worse was seeing the decapitated zombie Hershel head here, just to know that he indeed had to suffer that terrible fate.
LINCOLN: That was always the intention, that we return and that's what left. And it's beautiful, when I read the script…its so moving, you have to kill somebody twice. It's a degrading kind of hell that you're left in. But I agree, I'm just fascinated to see how people view these back eight, because there's something so incredibly beautiful and soulful. I mean, it's still badass as anything, and there's crazy s— up ahead, believe me. There's a couple of things where I went to [showrunner] Scott Gimple and asked "Are we gonna do this? We're really going to do this?" And Scott said, "Yep, we're gonna do this!" But I do think there's more poetry in this back eight than we've had in awhile.
Hello Andrew fans! As all of you know, "The Walking Dead" had its mid-season premiere just a few hours ago and to go along with the premiere, I have uploaded 472 HD screen captures of Andrew from the episode in the gallery. What did you guys think of the premiere? Leave a comment to share your thoughts! I hope you enjoy the screen captures and keep checking back for more updates!
The Walking Dead > Season 4 > Screen Captures > 4×09 – After
"This is the first time since Season 1 where they don't have any protection," The Walking Dead EP and director Greg Nicotero said tonight of the remainder of the show's fourth season. "You get a sweeping sense of the world again, and our characters are thrust back in it," he added without giving away any more than that.
Just days before the AMC series comes back from its midseason break, Nicotero was joined at the TV Academy by creator/executive producer Robert Kirkman, EP Gale Anne Hurd, EP and showrunner Scott Gimple, EP Dave Alpert, stars Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, Steven Yeun and other members of WD's main cast. Unlike a similar appearance at the TV Academy around this time last year — when recently exited EP Glen Mazzara was suddenly a no-show — there wasn't any controversy, but there was another notable absence. Lead Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick Grimes on the show, was scheduled to be there tonight but ended up missing the evening due to a cold. "I am so sorry I'm not to be able to attend this event, but I am currently the walking dead tonight," the actor said in a note to the audience read by Gimple in a terrible British accent.
Other than Nicotero's comments about the overall arc of the rest of Season 4, it was primarily show-and-tell night, with the assembled cast revealing and discussing their favorite clips from the first half of the cycle. "Good bloody gory memories," actress Lauren Cohan said to a big laugh in the packed Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre.
This has been a record-breaking season for the blockbuster zombie apocalypse series so far. The Season 4 premiere of Walking Dead on October 13 garnered a stunning 16.1 million viewers. With numbers like that and a couple of sacks of NBC's NFL Sunday Night Football in the key 18-49 demo last year, it's no wonder AMC renewed WD for a fifth season on October 29 last year. The remainder of the fourth season premieres February 9 after a more than two-month break — a break that started on a record-breaking high. The December 1 midseason finale pulled in 12.1 million viewers, a midseason finale record for WD. There's no NFL more NFL competition this year, but Walking Dead will be facing the Winter Olympics on NBC for its first couple of Sundays.
One issue that was certainly not addressed was former WD producer and series developer Frank Darabont and CAA's multi-tiered lawsuit against AMC for profit participation payments not received and wrongful termination. AMC are expected to reply to the producer and the agency's complaint sometime later this month.
The good news for Rick Grimes is that he is still alive. Annnnnnnnd that's pretty much it. He had a front row seat to the execution of his good friend Hershel, the Governor beat him within an inch of his life, the prison has been overrun with zombies, and, oh yeah, as far as he knows, his baby daughter Judith just became someone's afternoon snack. So not exactly what you'd call the best of days so far for Mr. Grimes. (I mean, just look at the photo above for chrissakes!) What happens next? We'll find out when The Walking Dead returns with season 4's final eight episodes Feb. 9 on AMC. The first episode back features a battle of wills between Rick and Carl as they seek shelter and safety. We spoke with Papa Grimes himself, Andrew Lincoln, about what to expect in episode 409 and beyond.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So with the prison gone, everyone is going to be splintered off in these smaller groups and we're going to see people having to fend more for themselves. What can you tell us about what's in store?
ANDREW LINCOLN: I'm really excited about the back 8 episodes. I think there's a different tone to the back 8, and I think you're going to see a lot of characters that you haven't seen under the microscope as much all have their chance to shine. And people are putting in some tremendous performances. I think there were three scripts that were some of my favorite that I've ever done in the back 8. But it's different, and that's what's so admirable about it with Scott Gimple's vision. It's a very different tone for the show and I think you learn a lot. It's very character driven, very soulful — much more reminiscent of the first season, I think, just because they're all out and alone and they're much more vulnerable. And also because they're apart from each other you realize that without each other their family is dying. It's almost like vignettes; it's like character studies in all of the characters. The underpinning of all of this is the great hope they can find each other again.
EW: For the most part, everything we've seen on this show has been as a big group, albeit with scattered separations here and there when smaller groups go on runs or what have you. But now we're going to have a lot more individual or smaller group stories since everyone is scattered out. Is that a nice change of pace?
LINCOLN: I think so. It's not only a change of pace but what it does is it rewards the audience that perhaps doesn't know about certain characters' backstories and histories. There are some very witty pairings is what I will say. Really, really witty.
EW: At this point, after seeing that empty bloody car seat, viewers are wondering: Where's baby Judith? What is Rick assuming as far as Judith?
LINCOLN: She's gone. I think, as you've seen in the episode, she's gone. That's it. That's the feeling for Rick and Carl. Rick is has been putting so much of his ideology and hope and change on Hershel and the prison. Now these people have been ripped away from him. The back 8 for him are very much a story of self-discovery for him, of finding himself knocked to the floor and finding yet again another way of picking himself up again. And it's about fighting to be a father. I think episode 9 very much explores that — about becoming a man and a man accepting that fact. It's a time-honored story. But it's set under these incredibly difficult circumstances. There's a heck of a lot bubbling for all the characters. They're at the weakest they've ever been probably since I woke up in the coma. Of course, they're incredibly tenacious survivors. Bear in mind, the only other people inhabiting this world who aren't behind walls are also tenacious survivors as well.
EW: What about the aftermath of seeing Hershel executed? Especially for Rick, because Rick was the one negotiating for his release and ultimately failing in that. How is that going to weigh on him?
LINCOLN: Man, he never gets a break. It's not an easy guy to play. There aren't many calls that he makes that go right, let's be honest. That was the death knell to that way of living. That's done, that compromise Rick was attempting to make and had made with the offering of peace to the Governor. Hershel was a father figure and a mentor, he was the bedrock for everybody, he was the moral conscious. I think that Hershel's spirit lives on always. Everybody that has an impact in your life you carry with you always, but I do think that Rick is in a very low ebb. And I think physically, in episode 9, you'll see a man who is frightened for the first time in a long, long time. He's frightened not for himself but for his son because he's weak. He's very, very weak and that makes him belligerent and aggressively challenging towards his son because he's scared. So he's physically weak, spiritually he's lost, mentally he doesn't quite know where to begin because he's just seeing his home demolished. He's in the worst place he's been.

As one of the stars of AMC's The Walking Dead, Norman Reedus is used to dealing with zombies on set. But he wasn't prepared to come face-to-face with one of them in real life — which he did when costar Andrew Lincoln and viral Vine prankster Nick Santonastasso pulled off a hilarious (and carefully orchestrated) zombie stunt during one of the hit show's promo stops in Tokyo.
Santonastasso, 17, is a Walking Dead superfan who was born with a rare condition called Hanhart syndrome and has one arm and no legs. He's recently become something of a social media sensation thanks to his "zombie prank" Vines, which involve him painting himself in zombie makeup and then scaring unsuspecting strangers in public.
As part of Fox International's new social media campaign "#getFOXed," New Jersey native Santonastasso was flown out to Tokyo to pull one of these pranks on Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon on the AMC smash. His partners-in-crime? Cast member Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and TWD special effects expert Greg Nicotero.
"Norman is gonna kick our asses," Lincoln jokes in a video about the prank, which took place in a hotel room in Tokyo.
As seen in the clip above, Reedus enters the room prepared to film a promo for The Walking Dead. Once he's alone, Santonastasso emerges from under a room service cart. Reedus' reaction? Priceless.
"Good job, you jerk," he quips afterward.
Watch the entire hilarious prank above!
TBS's Conan, starring Conan O'Brien, will welcome the cast of AMC's smash hit The Walking Dead on Thursday, Feb. 6, for their first-ever joint interview in late night. Joining O'Brien in the studio will be Andrew Lincoln (who plays Rick Grimes), Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon), Lauren Cohan (Maggie Greene), Steven Yeun (Glen Rhee), Danai Gurira (Michonne) and Melissa McBride (Carol Peletier). The cast is making this exclusive appearance in anticipation of the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead on Sunday, Feb. 9.
Since its debut in October 2010, The Walking Dead has become the most-watched TV drama in cable TV history and is now the #1 show on television among adults 18-49. The season four premiere in October set ratings records for the series and became the most-watched non-sports telecast in cable history, with 20.2 million viewers and 13.2 million adults 18-49 in Live + 3 delivery, according to Nielsen.

Contrary to what happened on yours, my twin headlight ernie bash plate fit just fine on my bike. Maybe your holes weren't located right or something? Mine used the ~1cm spacers that ernie included, and while it was very close the headers, it didn't make contact.

By Justin BoronClayton County Public School officials and several community members are praying for a fresh start of the school year. School ended this year in the shadow of two shooting deaths of students, one who would have graduated. But those at the prayer service at Jonesboro First United Methodist Church Sunday had high hopes for the upcoming school year. The service brought together teachers, school administrators, elected officials, and law enforcement officers to pray for the upcoming school year, which begins Aug. 8. Rev. Charles Robinson, the senior pastor at the church, read a passage detailing God's ubiquitous presence within people and reminded the congregation of children's importance. "These children are valuable now because they are made in God's image, but they are also valuable for who they are going to become," he said. Local officials led prayers for students, teachers, and parents. Juvenile Judge Steve Teske gave the prayer for the students. He attributed a decline in activity in his court to community's unity following the students' shooting deaths. "We have a duty and an obligation to look for those who are in need in our school system," he said. The church also had a prayer vigil planned until 11:30 p.m. Robinson called on the entire community to address the problems at schools. "Regardless of political party, religious views, race or cultural background, we believe that we all must come together to find solutions to problems of hatred, bigotry, injustice and violence. Whether or not someone has children in public schools or are involved in the educational system, their prayers are needed," he said.

Celebrity Baby Names: Matthew McConaughey's New Son
Sunday, December 30th, 2012
"Livingstone, I presume." That's the joke the son of Matthew McConaughey and his wife, Camila, will hear about a hundred billion times throughout his life, as he received a triple surname name: Livingston Alves McConaughey.
Livingston is an English surname that means "dear friend's place." It needs a good nickname, being so long. I'm voting for Ving (as in actor Ving Rhames), but could also see Liv used as its nickname. I'm sure that the once-lost and famous 19th-century explorer, Dr. David Livingstone (the inspiration for the famous "Livingstone, I presume" quote) would approve of this adventurous first name. The middle name is his mother's maiden name, Alves—giving him a connection to his model mom's past.
Livingston's name fits in well (perhaps a bit too well) with his siblings. There's big brother Levi Alves (Levi could be a nickname for Livingston as well), and big sister Vida Alves. With all those Vs and Ls in their crew, my guess is that Levi and Livingston are going to often be called by their siblings' names. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
What do you think of Matthew and Camila's baby naming prowess? Would you pick any of their names for your child?

Do you take notice of IMDB ratings?

As long as you accept the imdb ratings for what they are, they're fine; a lot of film fans would die a little inside when seeing some of the films the imdb members have voted up there at the expense of other classics, but it's easy to just not take it too seriously.
A current popular film with a fanbase will do well on the list regardless of whether it's actually pretty average - but that's fine, since the list is largely influenced by what's popular and talked about.
I mean, Christopher Nolan could make a 2 hour film of nothing but his pet dog wiping its arse continuously along the carpet and it would still get in the imdb250...
Just take anything on the list with a pinch of salt.

Now is not the time to enter the NFL as an unsuspecting quarterback or left tackle. The NFL is ripe with young pass rushers who have entered the league the last few seasons. And there are still plenty of veterans still well within the prime of their careers. The NFL is experiencing a revitalization of the pass rusher, and there are some impressive names in the college ranks as well. The 2011 draft alone brought Von Miller, Aldon Smith, J.J. Watt, Robert Quinn, Ryan Kerrigan and Justin Houston into the league. This season, rookies Bruce Irvin and Chandler Jones are already shining with their new teams, and the league hasn't even seen players like Jadeveon Clowney, Bjoern Werner, Barkevious Mingo, Jarvis Jones and Dion Jordan who will enter the league in 2013 or 2014. While those players have all the potential in the world, veterans like Terrell Suggs, Jared Allen, Julius Peppers and Geno Atkins are still getting after the quarterback at a torrid pace. Players are coming from all over defensive fronts to pressure the passer. Watt is getting it done as a 3-4 defensive end, Atkins from defensive tackle and Miller as a strong-side linebacker. It's no longer just players flying around the edge of the left side of the offense for quarterbacks to be worried about. With the increased passing that the NFL has seen over the last few years, pressuring the quarterback is getting even more important, and pass rushers are getting taken earlier and earlier in drafts. Without a sure-thing No. 1 quarterback in next season's draft, we could see one of the players above taken first. With so many talented players piling up sacks, it was difficult whittling the list to just 10. There were some tough cuts, but not every player could make our Top 10. Click here to check out the Top 10 pass rushers in the NFL>>

One of the most exciting new tools to be developed in neuroscience in the past decade is called optogenetics. It allows researchers to turn individual neurons in the brain of a living human subject off and on without surgery or other invasive procedures. Researchers around the world are now using it in the hopes of unlocking countless mysteries of how individual neurons work, how they relate to specific behaviors and how they are connected to each other.
Boris Zemelman, a neurobiologist in the Center for Learning and Memory at UT Austin, was part of a team that published a foundational paper in 2002 that demonstrated that the technique could work.
Read more about the development of this technique in the New York Times article titled "Brain Control in a Flash of Light" (April 21, 2014).
Might this be a way of "keeping the lights on" in a person clinically dead, but prevented from being brain dead using this procedure? There are of course ways to keep a body in a state of torpor-like living and by keeping the brain from turning to jello, might offer rebirth to some one who has apparently run out of time.
Also, noticed there was no mention of neurons other than those in the brain... might this procedure hold some way of turning off any genes that could be preventing neurons in the spinal cord from reconnecting after being severed?

Thanks, thats a great post with some very helpful photos.
And let me take the opportunity to post myself a note here- my shed is too chaotic for such a thing not to get lost.
Remember- Final drive has no oil in it!!

I took the opportunity to buy a new big battery for my 4x4. The old one is still good enough but it is on the way out. Today I took this new 720CCA battery out to the boat (through the gale and the pouring rain). Sure enough, with this different maggy the timing was now out.
I broke a couple of prized tools getting that stupid little slotted screw loose and finnaly managed to adjust the timing. I couldn't adjust it by when the points open (impossible to see when the maggy is installed- which is how it needs to be done), but rather just had to do it off the fly-wheel whose timing marks I figured out, and from when the plug would spark- and then just shift it forward and back a little to find the sweetest spot.
With a bit of starting spray it starts and runs now. It is not perfect, and it has it's issues, but it is running and the next owner can figure it out. I'm done with that bloody engine
Tomorrow the wardrobe of sails and other extra's clogging my shed will be organised and photographed, and after one more trip out to the boat next week to take some photos and do another coat of paint it should be ready for ebay.
Can't wait.
Now, back to the G/S.
I borrowed my partners fathers little old dremel to help me do the close fitting of the subframe reinforcements so that I have a better chance of Tig'ing them successfully.
Yesterday afternoon I gave it a spin. Everything going great, just some gentle delicate sanding, until 30 minutes in the dremel makes a noise and spits a chunk of black stuff at my face out of one of the air vents and then looses power and sounds like it is only firing on one cylinder (if it had cylinders).
Dammit, I hate borrowing tools.
Pulled it apart and investigated- it seems a chunk fractured off one of the brushes and on its way out tore some little copper wires on the armature.
Double dammit.
I really am trying to avoid buying a new tool every time I have a need- but now I have to fix this one or buy another to replace it.
I still haven't put in my motobins order.
I need to be told off- I'm having very real and very dangerous temptations to get a siebenrock 1000cc power up kit.
I do not need this. Tell me I do not need this, please
other than that, as I posted in the airheads piccy thread, I had a good ride last weekend. Around 1000kms of some of Victoria's best on the 90/6. Met up with the fellas from boxerworks. No I didn't stop to take any pics, just a couple when I got there.
and this inspirational picture from the wall inside the Hotel

'Community' Season 6 trailer: Yahoo releases teaser for its comedy revivalAdd to Favorites | Community
Yahoo has released a teaser trailer for "Community" Season 6, and it's about as ridiculous and funny as you would expect. Unfortunately, there's no new footage here -- not a surprise, since the new season hasn't yet gone into production -- but the video makes great use of existing material.
First aired during the "Community" panel at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con in July, the teaser quickly flips through footage from the first five seasons of the comedy. But with the jokes all tending toward survival, the climax is very much what you would expect for a show saved by Yahoo after NBC canceled it in the spring.
Of course, the trailer leaves the best for last: "Ratings? Where we're going, we don't need ratings!"
This is very true. Six seasons and a movie will have its day no matter what.

VIEWS: 54 PAGES: 4 CATEGORY: Childrens Literature POSTED ON: 12/19/2009 Public Domain
Published in Directorship, June 2000 INNOVATE OR DIE Tony Manning "I cannot recall a time when we were in the midst of a more dramatic change to our business environment." Opening the IOD's Convention 2000 in London in May, Lord Young of Graffham, president of the Institute, said what every executive instinctively knows. Yet while the world around us changes in extraordinary ways, it's business as usual in many companies. Too many executives fail to accept that "innovate or die" is not just a conference theme: it's reality. Halfway through the first year of the new century, South Africa is at a critical turning point. Predictions of surging economic growth – most economists saw 3,5% while one was confident of at least 8% – have given way to fears of a slump. Zimbabwe's election crisis has hurt the entire region. Growing Afro-pessimism is deterring foreign interest. Business confidence is falling. In this climate, it is too easy to overlook opportunities and to focus only on fixing problems. It is tempting to hunker down and do more of what worked yesterday in the hope that things "will come right". But now more than ever, looking backwards is a bad idea. At a moment in human history when almost anything is possible, it is critical that we look ahead, look around, and apply our minds to what might be. Companies that have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the future won't have a future. Events will simply overtake them. They will become irrelevant. Many local firms have changed remarkably in recent years. They have not only cut costs and improved quality, they have also reinvented their products and services and underlying processes of delivery. Strategic alliances with a wide range of partners have become wide-spread. Global ambitions have been turned into sales in some of the toughest markets in the world. Yet for all these efforts – and even though terms such as "globalisation", "world class" and "competitiveness" have become the stuff of headlines and part of everyday corporate conversation – there is cause for serious concern about where South African business is headed. Talk is not often enough underpinned by action. Consider one indicator. While visiting London for the convention, I spent time each day browsing the appointments pages of the daily papers to see what kinds of people British companies were hiring. In the week I was there, I collected a pile of ads for e-commerce strategists. Back home, I looked for similar jobs in the Sunday Times Business Times. Over four weeks, I found not one! Sure, there were plenty of jobs for IT experts of various kinds, including systems engineers, programmers, and individuals with ERP skills. But strategists, it seems, aren't needed in South Africa. Our companies know what they must do to exploit the opportunities of the information age. If only this were true. And if only we faced more benign competition. The reality, however, is that both the pace and magnitude of change will accelerate in coming years. "In a single day last year," said George Cox, director general of the IOD, in his address to the convention, "there was as much world trade as in the whole of 1949. In a single day last year, 1 there was as much scientific research carried out in the world as in the whole of 1960. In a single day last year, we made as many phone calls as in the whole of 1983 and in a single day we sent as many e-mails as in the whole of 1990." One consequence of these changes is that world business is engaged in a talent war. Yet while many countries make immigration easy for people with key skills, South Africa makes it hard. And while companies here worry about onerous new labour laws, foreigners have another concern: how to attract and manage Generation X-ers. Said Peter Sondergaard, head of research at Gartner Group in Europe: "The number one strategic planning assumption now is that for every ten vacancies in the technology department you will soon only be able to find eight staff. A significant portion of your people will have to acquire new skills over the next five years." But it's not only IT people who are in demand and increasingly elusive. Dotcom-mania has made old-line organisations unattractive to young people. "How," asked Jan Leschly, chief executive of SmithKline Beecham, which is currently being merged with Glaxo Wellcome, "do we enable the young but very experienced people in this new world to get the budget, the authority and the management capabilities to work within this bureaucracy of ours?" His own son had started an internet business with $2m in finance after graduating from Harvard Law and Business schools in June 1999, and just eight months later sold it to Amazon for $200m. One firm that obviously understands innovation is 3M. "We have a term for misplaced loyalty to past models of success," said William Coyne, senior vice president of R&D. "We call it a competency trap." In his view, companies need three things to survive at the leading edge: "First, you need a sense of direction or vision. Second, you need to know the needs of those for whom you are changing – your customers – even if they do not recognise those needs themselves. Third, you need to set the right vigorous pace." Ten years ago, 3M's target was to get 25 per cent of sales from products invented in the past five years. They then added the goal of getting 10 per cent of sales from products introduced in the past year. Recently, they raised the bar again, and now aim to get 40 per cent of sales from products less than four years old. But they're still not satisfied: the next step is to get 50 per cent of sales from new inventions. "We estimate conservatively that we should be a $20 billion company in 2004," said Coyne. "So we expect that about $8 billion will come from products that we have not launched yet." At 3M, innovation is a way of life, not just a flavour-of-the-month. The organisation not only sets stretch goals, it has also developed a way of consistently delivering against those goals. There's nothing mysterious or magical about it. Any company could, in theory at least, do the same. The first requirement, according to Coyne, is "a climate of communication and sharing." But while saying it is easy, creating that climate is much harder. The critical factor and the potential stumbling block is the attitude of top management. "Transformation is a group process," warned Coyne, "and the leader who tries to control evolution cell by cell is not going to succeed. "Never try to control or make safe the fumbling, panicky, glorious and chaotic adventure of discovery. "Occasionally I see articles that describe how to rationalise the invention process, how to take the fuzzy front end and give it a nice haircut. I would urge you to make that fuzzy front end as 2 unkempt and as furry as you can because innovation is not neat. We stumble on many of our best discoveries." Determined to make the United Kingdom a competitive leader in the future, the British Department of Trade and Industry is sponsoring a major study of innovation. According to Nigel Crouch, leader of the "Living Innovation" project, "…there are three critical areas that you must get right. First, leaders must inspire and build a culture of innovation. Second, you must have in place the right management techniques and approaches, both formal and informal, to create outstanding products and services. Third, you must connect unbelievably closely with your customers and your markets." Other speakers echoed the need for management to create a context in which people could show off their creativity. But the value of customer inputs into the innovation process was contentious. "Be very attentive to your customers," said Coyne, "but never assume that they fully understand their own needs and desires. "If you take everything the customers says at face value you will be spending your career pursuing the same goals that your customer has described to every other supplier." For Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the thirty-something chief executive of EasiGroup, success is only partly about identifying a customer need, and largely about delivery. "I am very much processdriven," he said. "All our companies are very production oriented: we do not ask customers what they like, but we define a product we believe is acceptable, and then we sell it." His EasiJet airline has rapidly gained favour as a low-priced carrier in Europe by focusing on the basics and being meticulous about boring detail. It has also turned competitive disadvantages into a profit formula. To another operator, the fact that landing slots at major airports were unavailable would be a huge handicap. To EasiJet, however, use of out-of-the-way airports means that planes spend less time on the ground and more in the air, which maximises use of the most expensive asset. To another operator, travel agents would be vital. But to EasiJet, travel agents are a cost that neither the airline nor passengers need. So seats can be booked only by phone or via the internet. "We have a simple relationship with travel agents," says Stelios. "They hate us and we hate them!" EasiJet's process-driven business model obviously works. (According to one survey, passengers rated its in-flight entertainment tops – even though it offers no entertainment at all.) Stelios is now applying the same principles to other start-ups, including a car hire company and a chain of internet cafes. And soon he will start a bank – naturally to be named EasiMoney! The insights and lessons from the IOD's 2000 Convention added up to an obvious message: new challenges demand new ways of thinking and acting. The global business arena is being changed by people who see things through fresh eyes, and who bring extraordinary passion and energy to their work. To play the new game, companies need to reinvent themselves from top to bottom. Can South Africa compete? Only if people at every level of our companies accept the new realities and start working together to seize the new opportunities. For too many are looking backwards when they should be looking ahead. Too many stand in the way of progress. And too much time is spent on conversations that do not add value. Of all the speakers at the "Innovate or Die" convention, the one who probably made the greatest impression on most people was not a business person, but rather a trade union leader. According to John Monks, secretary general of the TUC, a new kind of partnership is necessary in the 3 workplace. "We cannot fight each other," he said. "Competition is very considerable and working together is the key." His organisation recently did a survey to find out what workers wanted from their jobs. First came job security – no surprise there. What was a surprise, was what came second. "Not pay, not hours, not holidays or the usual stuff of the collective bargaining agenda – but the desire of individuals to be held in esteem by the person for whom they worked and the organisation for which they worked." What makes partnerships successful? "We have identified six principles," said Monks. "Shared commitment to the success of the enterprise, recognition of legitimate interests, commitment to employment security, quality of working life, transparency, and the fact that each partner must add real value." Innovate or die. That's the choice. And since it's no choice at all, perhaps we should snap into action.

I'm a fun-loving girl with a sense humor and I appreciate being around people who also know how to laugh at themselves. I am also very honest...you'll never guess how I'm feeling. I'm pretty low key most of the time. I enjoy reading a good book, playing with my dog, and watching Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Comedy Central. If I'm not doing any of those things, I'm probably exploring the city with my friends. I've been fortunate to provide myself with a nice life - I have a great job, an awesome family, career ambition, and I'm financially stable...I'm looking for someone who can bring these same qualities to the table. I have a passion for travel and enjoy spending time in new places and learning about other cultures. So far this year I've been to Cancun, Thailand, Italy, and have an upcoming trip to Hawaii. Ideally, I'd like to meet someone who likes to travel as well. I've dated men of different races, so I have no preference on race, only that you're awesome. Seems simple enough, right? I'm likely not to respond to any messages if you..: 1. Have a selfie in a bathroom mirror. *We've progressed too much as a society for people to still be doing this. 2. Have a picture of your abs or half naked body. *No one cares. Stop fishing for compliments on the internet. Oh yeah, did I mention that I'm very direct? :)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced today that Chrysler is recalling over half a million minivans and Jeep Wranglers because of brake or wiring problems. There have been no crashes or injuries to date, but Jeep Wranglers from 2001 through 2010 and Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country minivans from the 2008 and 2009 model years are potentially dangerous vehicles. On the Jeeps, the inner fender liners can rub against the brake fluid tubes and cause a leak. The minivans have improperly placed wires that can come in contact with sliding door hinges and cause a fire inside the door. If you are an owner of one of these vehicles, contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 for more information.
