Re, the Z1 Ultra, I believe that there is a Google Play Edition available in the US, although Sony's Android customisations aren't too obtrusive anyway.
It's a similar joke to one in Rab C Nesbitt:
MARY DOLL: Rab, I don't mind you having a fag before sex, and I don't mind you having a fag after sex. I don't even mind you smoking a fag during sex, but do you really have to go down to the kitchen and light it off the gas hob?
And on the 'You Are What You Is' album, Zappa has
"I heard that some Sheikh
Bought New Jersey last week
And you suckers ain't gettin' nothing"
The use of words in poetry is actually one of the few tools historians have of estimating how words were pronounced in the past!
I know a rude joke about sheep shearing that only works in an Australian accent.
>Hell, most people if you play their won speech back at the with a few milliseconds delay will find it near impossible to talk.
D'oh! Sorry people, I'm trying out a small Bluetooth keyboard... though more convenient for me, it is less convenient for anyone trying to read my words!
Still, despite my lack of precision, it would appear you can still grasp my meaning.
I don't know, but my guess would be yes... I would imagine that some shapes flow more easily from other shapes, just as some guitar chords flow from others more easily.
I'd like to hear from someone who actually knows, though!
I've always liked the song 'Labio Dental Fricative' by the Bonzo Dog Band:
"Cannibal chiefs chew Camembert cheese
'cause chewing keeps 'em cheeky
Big Fat Fred sticks fur to his head
'cause he thinks fur makes him freaky
Benjamin Bland and his Bugle Band blow the blues bi-weekly
How many pies can a porpoise poise on purpose if she pleases?"
But any song with the lyric "Back at the boozer" and stunt guitar by Eric Clapton is good by me!
Depends on how you pronounce Sheikh.... (Frank Zappa has pronounced it to rhyme with 'Shake', and also with 'Week')
>You can either speak the language, or you cannot.
So what about people recovering from strokes? Children with a developmental difficulty in this regard? People who stammer or have a lisp? Hell, most people if you play their won speech back at the with a few milliseconds delay will find it near impossible to talk.
Tongue twisters can give an insight into the task of speaking, analogous to how optical illusions can give clues as too how we interpret visual information.
Apple was toying with ZFS for a while, and some that file system's ideas have been implemented in OSX's CoreStorage.
As far as I can make out, Windows 8's 'Storage Spaces' isn't capable of presenting two drives as a single volume to the OS if one of those drives is the boot drive... but if I've misunderstood, please do post a link!
Some laptops do have an mSATA slot (suitible for an mSATA SSD) in addition to the normal SATA drive bay... but some laptops have a non-functioning mSATA slot, including the Dell reviewed by The Reg today:
>Frankly the author's comment of "who can say?" is utter crap, and shows a lack of effort.
Do bear in mind that the reviewer concluded that, even for Windows machines, this drive is only recommended for a limited group of users. Throw another circle at that Venn diagram, "People with a Linux installation", and the number can only get pretty small, even if we used a figure of 20% for argument's sake.
If the reviewer's primary OS is not Linux, it is reasonable to suggest he might not be the best person to get the drive working under Linux... indeed, he might spend some trying, and even then merely reach an inconclusive conclusion, such as "It might be possible to get it working, but I personally couldn't make it behave".
Why not leave it to users on a Linux forum to provide an answer?
>Also cloning an HDD is fine but you will find that some software binds itself to the HDD serial number.
Thanks for highlighting that potential hurdle!
That's just a stupid policy... It would save a lot of headaches if it was just easy for the average user to create system images - even if they have to call upon a technical friend to restore the image to a new HDD. It took long enough for MS to include cloning tools with Windows.
On closer inspection, those artefacts appear to be reflections of light fittings, or similar. These days, a lot of product promotion images are computer-generated renders - it saves time faffing around in a photographic studio, adjusting the lighting, wiping fingerprint smears off the product etc.
Of course this is a review, not a product promotion.
>The only way to put it in upside down is to not be paying attention.
Or to suffer from poor eyesight. Don't know how to explain this, but here goes: Technology is supposed to make life easier.
Yeah, I couldnt play Doom with a friend until we'd made our own null modem cable...
...and your list doesn't even include the large number of proprietary phone connectors over tose years... even single companies would have a number of similar-looking but different connectors, even for headsets! (looking at you Samsung)
Whoops! Thanks Handle, I did of course mean 'mA', and that H was in error!
>The only place I see a lightning connector being useful is in my Dr Frankenstein re-animation laboratory.
What about powering your flux capacitor when you find yourself in a situation where plutonium is surprisingly hard to get hold of?
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of 'Li-Fi', which can use light in the visible spectrum. It requires so few photos that it can work in a room that appears dark to humans, and it can use light reflected off walls... though obviously it can't penetrate walls (which can be considered either an advantage or a disadvantage)
>Does this mean it's not going to be hard wired end to end like a lightning cable?
If I had to guess, I'd venture that any 'cleverness' will be built into the controllers built into the devices, rather than the cable. This guess is based on the idea that both the 'host' and the connected device are using the same port.
However, this guess might be wrong, because of the desire to use adaptors for backwards compatibility.
Just speculation.
Other things I hope they consider for USB-C are:
- Make the connector so that it doesn't scratch things, like the current microUSB design is prone to.
- Insertion / removal force required.
- Mechanical strength - relevant to docking solutions.
- Point of any physical failure should be the (cheap and replaceable) cable, and not the device's female port.
- Design the female port so that it doesn't allow water ingress into the device, facilitating the design of waterproof devices.
Since this new design will hopefully be the last redesign for a while, it should be as good as it can be!
Apple/Intel? is it possible you're thinking of Thunderbolt? Lightening is all Apple. Thunderbolt is an Intel technology, though Apple contributed the name.
>a company famous for randomly changing stuff
Apple stuck with FireWire for years. Their 13pin iDevice connector remained largely unchanged for years, over which period comparable devices used a variety of both proprietary and standard connectors for power and data (USB-B, miniUSB, miroUSB) - I have a drawer of old cables and adaptors that testifies to that.
I agree that the ubiquity of microUSB devices and cables is a very handy thing, and makes up for the current shortcomings on the microUSB design. However, microUSB3 is already only partially compatible.
Another change will be worth it in my opinion, as long as it is the last for the foreseeable future, and it implements improvements in usability in addition to faster speeds and greater power delivery.
Who knows, within the decade we might all be using wireless power systems, and wireless optical data transmission or some-such.
The USB Type-C specification is targeted for industry review during the first quarter of 2014 and a final specification is expected to be published by the middle of 2014. Further information regarding the specification and plans for pre-release industry reviews will be provided via the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) website at
- http://www.usb.org/press/USB-IF_Press_Releases/Type-C_PR_20131203_Final.pdf
>Make the plug feel asymmetric in the hand, and make the socket look more visually asymmetric.
The current microUSB is asymmetric, but its so small that it is not easy to spot immediately. Even if you do, you then have to inspect the orientation of the port you want to plug it into....
Making the plug orientation reversible is the sensible thing to do, and - without knowing the details of its implementation - it might be essential too, since the cable direction is also reversible.
I'd venture to suggest that for someone with poor sight an arthritis, the old 'big Nokia' power connector is easier to use than microUSB.
Chisels? Oh, we used to dream of chisels!
> But as a virus-carrying medium...? Really???
>the idea that this could be used to spread viruses is absurd, and pure click-bait.
The article doesn't say that! Read it again.
It is not a virus-carrying medium.
All the researchers are showing is a method that a previously infected machine can use to communicate with other infected machines, so that small data such as passwords etc can be 'sent home' after the original attack vector is no longer available to it.
>It would be easier to believe Dragos Ruiu's claims of infection if he published the make/model of the PCs he claims have been infected,
"The researcher reports that the BIOS malware on a Dell Alienware, Thinkpads and Sony laptops is encountered. MacBooks could also have become infected as possible, but that's not confirmed yet. The malware uses DHCP options encrypted to communicate. Attackers On the basis of the tweets shows that the investigation of the malware is still in full swing. Security.NL Ruiu has asked for more information. We will let you know. Soon as more details are known"
- https://www.security.nl/posting/366329/Onderzoeker+ontdekt+mysterieuze+BIOS-malware
I'm not supporting his claims, just reposting some info about the machines he's used.
>I honestly wonder what advantage Google sees in all this
Nobody does - it's called speculation.
There might be dozens of areas of investigation, of which a few will bear fruit. So, you put millions in to each... if just one is successful, you will reap a multi-billion dollar reward.
If you're curious about the value of robots, ask yourself why Japan, with an ageing population, have been amongst the pioneers.
I've met 8 year-olds who were shit-hot at Sonic the Hedgehog...
Multitasking, or multiplexing? (i.e very quickly switching back and forth between activities)
>Is this figure correct? Are you sure about it. I thought the figures showed that women have more crashes overall, its just that men have more bigger crashes.
That was the conclusion I read about some years ago, I can't remember the source but I think it was from car insurers. There is no reason why small bumps would be reported to insurers.
If we agree that the difference between a small 'bump' and a 'crash' is that a bump doesn't cause damage that either party cares about, then we need to look at car design. It depends on the design of car bumpers, which, alas, aren't as robust as they used to be, and many are damaged by bumps of less than 5mph ('Which?' magazine drew attention to this a few years back)
>I've no doubt they'll do 4K and beyond, but it will be at bigger screen sizes.
Bigger screens, i.e monitors used with mice and keyboards, are used further away from the eyes than tablets are, so a 4K 13" tablet would be roughly on par with a 4K 27" monitor. If Apple are targeting the market that Wacom have traditionally played in, it makes sense. The fact that such products are already sold despite their high price tag, and other established players are looking to get into that market, should suggest that it is at least plausible.
Here is a picture of some sketching on paper, so you see how such a product might be used:
After all, making the iPad 13" does nothing for it's portability, and there are studies that suggest a good proportion of full-size iPads rarely leave the house.
>Was 20/20 based on a sampled average originally?
No, it wasn't - and it isn't normalised like IQ scores are. It means nothing more than being able to read text of a certain size from 20' away.
>Neither of the quotes you have supplied supports your assertion that the average person has better than 20/20 vision.
In the first quote, Snellen, the man who developed the eye test chart that bears his name, warns not to confuse his base value of 20/20 for a population average, yet you persist in doing so. And I haven't seen any links from you support that 20/20 is average, either.
I have better than 20/20 vision when I'm wearing my spectacles.
Here is yet another link supporting the assertion that Steve Jobs was guilty of hyperbole when introducing the Retina Display:
Analyst Challenges Apple's iPhone 4 'Retina Display' Claims
- http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2364871,00.asp
Instead of lazily downvoting me, can someone please point out which of my assertions they believe to be factually incorrect? To make it easy for you, you can merely post a number, or several. Thanks!
1. It's premature to call a product feature 'pointless' when it is just a rumour and the intended use of the device is yet unknown. A desk-based machine might not require as long lasting a battery as a more mobile device.
2. Wacom make very expensive Android and Win8 13" tablets
3. Modbook make 13" OSX tablets based on Macbook Pros
4. Apple could easily undercut the Modbook Pro spec by spec - because the Modbook is the full price of Macbook plus extra parts and labour.
5. Adobe are making hardware to allow iPads to be used more productively.
7. The market is not currently that big, but it does exist.
>That's just ridiculous. So who has the first 64 bit processor in a mobile phone?
That doesn't benefit the customer directly now, but does mean the transition to higher RAM in the future will be smoother - for application developers, especially. Apple have a financial interest in their application marketplace, in a way Android phone vendors don't in theirs.
20/20 is purely a measure of one's ability to identify letters in a certain typeface and of a certain size from a distance of twenty feet.
> You might have written "many people have ..."
I might have, but I didn't. What I wrote was less vague and just as accurate. The average person does have better than 20/20 vision:
...both Snellen and Donders noted that acuity levels of better than 20/20 were common in normal individuals, and both cautioned against a conclusion that their norm values represented normal visual acuity. Unfortunately, these cautioning remarks have rarely been heeded..."
- http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00413146#page-1
he significance of the 20/20 standard can best be thought of as the lower limit of normal or as a screening cutoff. When used as a screening test subjects that reach this level need no further investigation, even though the average visual acuity of healthy eyes is 20/16 to 20/12.
>4k res in a 12" tablet seems pointless, the battery life will suffer and the GPU would need a massive upgrade to actually do much at the full res, so we'd see a lot of up-scaled stuff totally negating having the 4k res in the first place.
We don't know anything about this rumoured device.... it might be that it is designed to be used mainly in the studio as a graphic design / Photoshop tool, for example. In this case use, the battery wouldn't be a too big an issue. There is a market for this, albeit a currently small one, since Wacom will sell you a 13" tablet ('Companion'), as will Modbook (based in a gutted Macbook Pro)... and Apple could easily undercut the price of either of those models, spec for spec. Adobe are looking into this area too, with their first foray into hardware (see Mighty Pen and Napoleon Ruler)
Not knowing what rifles were designed for doesn't automatically preclude people from objectively noting how they are sometimes used.
Since the domestication of animals for meat in some parts of the world, many animals have been hunted as much for sport as they have meat. Indeed, this sport was a often privilege, defended against humans of lower status by the use of force. The people who commissioned the first rifles -made by skilled artisans - were powerful individuals with resources to spare, when an average member of their society was just scraping by.
Of course, in some parts of the world wild animals might eat you, thus making the carrying of forearms a good idea (and in some places, mandatory), but generally our species' habit of displacing such creatures has negated those concerns.
Same here, my first thought on hearing of this Amazon plan was that they would be based on a 'carrier' truck.
Thanks for bringing the UP to our attention Tanuki!
"A small cordite charge was used to ignite a rocket motor which propelled the fin-stabilized 7 inches (18 cm) diameter rocket out of the tube to a distance of about 1,000 feet (300 m) where it exploded and released an 8.4 ounces (240 g) mine attached to three parachutes by 400 feet (120 m) of wire. The idea was that an aeroplane hitting the wire would draw the mine towards itself where it would detonate.

>I don't get why you'd want to blow the drone out of the sky?
(a) for sport
(b) for a thought exercise. Of course, adding the constraint that the parcel must be undamaged adds to the challenge!
I'm leaning towards (b) myself
The round you describe increases your range and accuracy, but what you lose is the spread of shot with conventional shotgun rounds. Okay for a large target ( a deer) but not for a small, distant and fast target (duck or drone).
I'm aware that there is quite a variety of specialist shotgun ammunition available to law enforcement / military organisations.
An 'offensive weapon' in the UK is whatever a police officer at the time decides is one, depending on context. Carrying a cricket bat to a park in the afternoon? Sporting equipment. Carrying a cricket bat at 3 AM outside a nightclub? Offensive weapon.
Shotgun properly secured in boot of car on the way to a shoot? Sporting equipment.
The mathematical equation requires data... wind speed, for example, can vary along the path taken by the rocket en route to the target. I don't know what the limitations of laser anemometers are, but it is plausible that they might allow the margin of error to be reduced - if indeed said margin is too high.
The solution I had in mind was similar in concept to a barrage balloon, but based on a quadcopter instead of a balloon, for the sake of manoeuvrability. Instead of chains fixed to the ground, the quadcopter would trail dental floss - much like a jellyfish's tentacles - to tangle in the target's rotors.
I've liked the responses to the challenge... maybe Farting Hippo's net concept could be used with rockets?
@Jan 0
Haha, I do know what string is, and bailer-twine too! Dental floss is strong and light, and also cheap compared to fishing line. If you've ever used a mini RC helicopter to take down out-of-reach cobwebs in an old cottage, you'll know how string spider silk is, too (but it doesn't have the bulk to quickly disable the chopper)
The plane could go faster, but the target drone might be more agile. Let us not disagree, let us test!
@Farting Hippo
I like it! Perhaps a bolas might also do the trick if we can't sort out the spinning net mechnism
Thanks AC, I've been wondering why those HP Microservers have been sold with a £100 cashback offer for what seems like years.
Yeah, it may be only anecdotal, but of my friends who are keen console gamers, all are adopting a 'wait and see' policy.
And why the hell not? Waiting allows you to guess which platform might prevail, it allows you time to hear of teething problems and silly policies, and it usually results in a price cut several months down the line.
Good point Destroy All Monsters, I took MrE's figures and didn't consider the non-recurrent engineering (R&D and tooling) costs.

About the Consumer Insurance Council
The Colorado Division of Insurance established the Consumer Insurance Council in 2001. A cross-section of Coloradans was selected to represent the consumer perspective concerning insurance issues. The mission of the Council is to discuss and share information on insurance issues. The Council provides insights from the consumers' perspective on regulations and initiatives developed by the Division of Insurance.
Council members volunteer their time and commit to a one- or two-year term. The Council meets between four and eight times each year. For more information, contact Deputy Commissioner Peg Brown at 303-894-7501.
In 2008, the Consumer Insurance Council was codified in statute, §10-1-133 Colorado Revised Statutes

The Rufus Porter museum here in Bridgton has two weathervanes attributed to Mr. Lombard, and another is owned by the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont.
Early in 20th century, James Lombard, of Bridgton, designed and carved woodern weathervanes. These weathervanes are highly desirable examples of native Maine folk art. The most distinguishing features of the Lombard weathervanes are the stylized versions of hens and roosters, particularly the imaginative treatment of the tail feathers. Simple in design and execution, Lombard weathervanes were usually sawed from pine planks with the woodern legs attached separately.
Born in 1868, Mr. Lombard lived and worked at the family farmhouse on South High Street which was located on the present site of Becky Cook's barn across from the Catholic Church. The farmhouse was destroyed by fire. Mr. Lombard was the father of Perley Lombard, who worked for The Bridgton News as pressman for thirty-five years. Many will remember Perley and also Bill Lombard and other members of the family.
It is believed that Mr. Lombard might have been an itinerent wood carver in his earlier years because of the distribution of his weathervanes in various areas of Maine.

Easy asset optimization without disturbing the development workflow.
Minassic is a Node module to get assets optimized for the web without disturbing your development workflow. You can minify, concatenate, inline and base64-stringify assets like CSS-, Javascript-files and images in production environment without the need to worry about it in your development process.
Use npm to install the package:
npm install minassic
var Minassic = require'minassic';var minassic = assets: __dirname + '/public' cache: __dirname + '/public/cache' flags: 'minify' 'concatenate' 'inline' 'base64';
assets is the location relative to all assets.
cache is the location where the compressed files will be saved.
flags is an array of flags which will always be passed to all files. By default it is an empty array. You can also set it to
false to disable all flags globally. This can be usefull in development environment.
The server has to serve files directly from the cache folder. With Express it could look like this:
var express = require'express';var app = express; appuseexpressstatic__dirname + '/public/cache' maxAge: 311040000 ;appuseexpressstatic__dirname + '/public';
var swig = require'swig';swiginit tags: minassic: Minassicswigminassic ;
Insert the
Minassic.swig function into the tags object. The key can be whatever you like to, but remember it is later on used in the template. Important: The
Minassic.swig function needs to get a Minassic-instance as its first parameter.
{% minassic ["/dir/to/style.css", "/dir/to/other/style.css"] minify|concatenate %}{% endminassic %}
This will get the code from both files, minify and concatenate them and output it in a link attribute:
minify and
concatenate flags in this example could be removed if they are specified in the flags array while creating the Minassic object.
If you need a custom output format it is possible to define it between the
minassic tag.
{% minassic ["/dir/to/style.css", "/dir/to/other/style.css"] minify|concatenate %} {% endminassic %}
´@file´ will be replaced with the generated filename or if the flag
inline is used with the string.
All other template engiens could be served with cached files by running the following:
// will return an array of files var files = minassicrun files: 'some.css' 'files.css' flags: 'inline'; // will return the html tags as a string var output = minassicoutputfiles customTag: '<style>@file</style>' // is optional inline: true // false if you like to use the default html and the files aren't inlined ;
By default Minassic is using the following output formates:
<!-- CSS --><!-- CSS inline -->
Working examples can be found in the example section.
I love to here your feedback, please don't hesitate to send me an email! If you found any bugs, please report them at the issue section or fix them and just start a pull request.
Please be sure that this project is in early stage and can contain bugs.

Johnny Wright
Take The Stage Webseries Celebrity Mentor
Johnny Wright has come to be known as one of the foremost music managers of all-time.
Through hard work, creativity and a strong sense of commitment he has developed successful ventures in all areas of entertainment, from music management to film and television production.
In 1993, after getting his start with New Kids on the Block and hit dance group, Snap!, Johnny decided to relocate to Orlando, FL where he formed a relationship with Lou Pearlman and Transcon Entertainment. Two years later Johnny began managing a local vocal group that had recently been signed to Jive Records. Known as the Backstreet Boys, this vocal group blew up in Europe and soon recrossed the Atlantic to make waves in the U.S. After a lot of hard work and perseverance on everyone's part, BSB hit the top of the charts, their first two albums going 14X and 13X platinum, respectively.
In 1996, Johnny had the opportunity to hear another Orlando-based vocal group who called themselves *NSYNC, a name made up of the last letter of each group members first name. Immediately recognizing the group's talent and pop potential, Johnny secured them a deal with Jive Records and started world-wide promotion. *NSYNC quickly became a household name, joining their label-mates the Backstreet Boys as one of the most successful groups in history. Their sophomore album, "No Strings Attached", set a record for selling 1.1 million albums in one day and 2.4 million albums in the first week.
One of the first acts to open on an *NSYNC tour was a young girl who was also signed to Wright Entertainment Group and Jive Records and who soon attained her own international recognition. Johnny and his team guided Britney Spears (Jive) through the pinnacle of her career, selling more than 60 million albums worldwide by 2003.
In November of 2002, Justin Timberlake (Jive) released his solo debut, "Justified". With his latest release "FutureSex/LoveSounds" (Jive, 2006) and tour of a similar name, Johnny and Justin managed to sustain the momentum of "Justified" and secured Justin's role as an international superstar. His latest album, "FutureSex/LoveSounds", has sold over seven million copies worldwide and launched a 100 date North American and European tour. Since then Johnny has helped Justin break new ground and most recently has assisted him in beginning the process of revamping MySpace.
In August of 2006, Johnny and Wright Entertainment Group introduced the Jonas Brothers. Teen brothers Nicholas, Joseph and Kevin Jonas, collectively known as Jonas Brothers (Hollywood Records), have since made their place in pop music with two number one albums, sold out arena tours, a TV show and several movies. Their 2009 North American tour sold over 850,000 concert tickets within 48 hours of going on sale. Since then they have produced a 3D movie and two "Camp Rock" movies, which inspired a subsequent 2010 tour. Johnny has also helped both Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas individually launch successful solo projects on Hollywood Records.
In 2012 Johnny began working with record breaking artist / producer / songwriter Akon. After having over 19 Top 20 hits worldwide, Akon will release "Stadium", his first full length studio album since 2008, in May 2012. Aaron Carter has also come back to the WEG family and is completing a stint on Broadway before launching new music in summer 2012.
Wright Entertainment Group has partnered with Creative Management Group to form Wright-Crear Management, a company that manages the career of BG5 (of Kardashian fame). WCM has also made waves in the world of television as executive producers of Nick Carter's reality show on the E! Network, "House of Carters".
P. Diddy has called on Johnny several times for his experience and expertise, initially on MTV's "Making the Band 3" and then on MTV's series "Starmaker". After three seasons on MTV as the 1 rated show in its time slot for ages 14-34, MtB3's "Danity Kane" released their self-titled debut album to a legion of anxious fans. The album launched on the Billboard charts at 1 and quickly sold 1 million albums within three months of its release. Now, Johnny is back working with Aubrey O'Day as she relaunches her music career and stars in Oxygen's "The Aubrey O'Day Show", which was the highest rated freshman series premiere in Oxygen history in Spring of 2011.
Johnny is also working with Laurieann Gibson, whom he first met as the choreographer on MTV's Making the Band and who has gone on to become Creative Director at Interscope Records. Laurieann has worked with today's top artists, from P Diddy and Alicia Keys to Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj, and is the creative force behind international superstar Lady Gaga. Now an acclaimed music video director and star of "The Dance Scene" on E! and "Born to Dance" on BET, Laurieann's star has only begun to rise.
Johnny has established himself not only on-screen but off screen as well in both film and television. On the big screen, Johnny leant his talents as executive producer for the Paramount / MTV film starring Britney Spears, "Crossroads", as well as the Miramax film, "On The Line". He's also produced and appeared on NBC's "Fame", and multiple HBO concert specials.
Always looking for ways to expand his creativity, Johnny recently joined up with Cambio (AOL's Teen Entertainment hub) to create "Johnny Wright: On the Spot", powered by AT&T. The talent search is the first ever to scout talent and eliminate contestants through online and mobile means. The resulting group, Y6, is excepted to hit airwaves in Spring 2012.
Johnny Wright lives in Orlando, Florida, where he continues to focus on faith and family and to build on an already remarkably successful career.

How Ron Swanson spent Valentine's Day

Our second is due December 10, 2012 and we're expecting a little girl. We've decided her name will be Caelyn. She will have a big brother named Collin Dallas (Dallas is actually a very meaningful city for us and so we decided to use that) I would like to use a meaningful middle name for this LO as well, but I am at a loss. The only city that means anything to us is Frisco, TX and I honestly am not crazy about Caelyn Frisco for a girl.
A different option would be to name her after her grandmothers so it would be Caelyn Sharon Rose.
I am hesitant about the second option because DS is not named after any one family member in particular and he would be the only one without a family name if her name contained one.
Help? -This may sound silly because middle names are not normally very important, but I want it to be special.

Cruise Ship, The Bahamas
7 Reviews
7 Reviews
We went on a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas on the Carnival Sensation.
The cruise left Port Canaveral Florida on Thursday afternoon, and we got back Sunday morning. It was worth the price, we had a good time, and enjoyed the cruise and the Bahamas.
Tip on cabins: We had a 4 people cabin on the Empress Deck (7) in the front of the boat. It was small ( but all cabins are) but very quiet compared to the horrible room we had on a different ship in the back of the boat , on the bottom , right on top of the engines. So , if you plan on sleeping at night, avoid the back bottom of any ship ( but those are the least expensive cabins).
Tip on preventing getting sea sick: get accupressure wrist bands, they work ( no medication needed)

Taking a cruise ship is great! If you want a no-fuss, unpack-once, no-brainer vacation, this is easy and quite enjoyable. Don't expect to see much of the ports you go to, but that's not really the point for most of these cruise ships, is it? Carnival Cruises has a great kids' program if you want to take the family.
We walked around Nassau in the morning and saw plenty of shops, including the interesting straw market. I'm sure most of it was overpriced for us tourists, but enjoyable none-the-less.
We took a cruise, though I think we will fly next time. I wasn't seasick, but I had a constant feeling of vertigo when the ship was moving. Also, being confined to a ship for a whole day became tiresome. We did make sure to catch every sunrise and sunset from the upper decks and took advantage of the pool and walking deck. And we ate - the food was fabulous. However, we are not into gambling and the dance club was somewhat lame, so we were glad it was a short cruise.
I would advise flying in to Grand Bahama Island, then staying at a hotel with beach access. Many of the beaches are private and only guests at certain hotels are allowed to be there. You can usually pay some kind of daily fee for beach access if you are at a hotel without a beachfront.
I went there on a cruise. I would suggest that you take a good cruisline. Mine was very clean and had a lot to eat, but there was nothing to do except sleep.
I was with a tour group and we rode around in vans. It was real crowded, and I got stuck next to some guy that smelled really bad.
Most people probably take a cruise ship, but you can also fly in from the US, Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean. There's also a lot of private boat traffic between the Bahamas and Florida, which is barely 100 kms away. And if you have a few bucks, you can take a Windjammer Cruise on a large two-masted sailing schooner.
Air and inter-island ferries. But in Nassau, you can also get around in a 'surrey with a fringe on top' to borrow a phrase from Oscar Hammerstein.
Well, my favorite way is by a cruise-line...which we took the Disney Wonder and had a fantastic time. We also visited there private island, Castaway Cay, which I liked better than any of the other Bahamian Islands.
Once you're there the best way to get around Nassau is by water taxi or regular taxi...just make sure you get a price before you ride.

Health briefs
Greater Memphis
Med team targets safety
A five-person team from the Regional Medical Center at Memphis has been selected to participate in a federal patient safety initiative.
The Patient Safety Improvement Corps is sponsored by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Staffers from The Med will travel to Washington three times between September and May for training in how to reduce medical errors and improve patient safety. The Med team includes nurses and physicians from the hospital's infection control, surgery, pharmacy and performance improvement program.
Vision group honors Dyer
The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology is honoring Dr. Michael Dyer of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
Dyer is scheduled to receive the group's Cogan Award during its next annual meeting, set for April. It recognizes a researcher age 40 or younger who has made an important contribution to research involving eye diseases.
Dyer is an associate member of St. Jude's neurobiology department and an assistant professor in the UT Health Science Center ophthalmology department.
Funding renewed for AIDS
Federal officials have renewed funding of a Le Bonhuer Children's Medical Center program that provides medical and support services to young people in five Mid-South counties who are infected with the AIDS virus.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) announced Friday that the federal Department of Health and Human Services earmarked $353,153 to support the program through August 2008.
Study compares sedatives
Memphis researchers found the drug propofol was the best option for children being sedated for a brain MRI.
The study compared two approaches for putting patients ages 1 to 17 to sleep prior to undergoing a scan.
The Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center patients were randomly assigned to receive either propofol or a three-drug cocktail of pentobarbital, midazolam and fentanyl. The findings are published in the September issue of the medical journal Pediatrics.
While both approaches effectively sedated patients, propofol worked faster and patients recovered more quickly. Although the differences documented in this study were modest, the researchers noted that the "potential impact may be significant" when applied to a busy facility.
The study authors were Drs. Jay Pershad, Jim Wan and Doralina Anghelescu.

Happy New Year!! I hit the ground running for 2015, appearing on CNBC's Squawk Box first thing this morning to break down how much the US consumer is saving per day due to lower gasoline prices (drum roll…….$378 million). I also explain how the lifting of fuel subsidies is mitigating the impact of lower oil prices on a global basis. Hark, click on the below mugshot to launch to part of the interview.

File Under: Losing My Shirt
I appeared last night on CNBC Squawk Box in Asia to talk about oil and as it turns out, um, the color of my shirt. While they started out heckling me for it being so bright, the interview finished with me having to buy one and send it to anchor Bernie Lo (and he has to wear it on the show). Hark, click on the below mugshot to launch to part of the segment:
H.L.Mencken & US Shale Break-evens
My favorite quote by H.L. Mencken is 'a cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin'. A bit morose, I know, but this appeals to the contrarian in me. My second favorite is überly-applicable to US shale oil break-evens: 'For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong'. For there is no lack of estimates flying around as to the price level at which US shale oil production could be curtailed. The problem is, they all appear to be different. » read more
File Under: Late Night TV
After crude prices tumbled yesterday, I jumped at the opportunity to appear on CNBC Asia to talk about how downward revisions to global oil demand growth by the IEA and OPEC discord have walloped prices. One of the anchors also gave a shout out to Energy Burrito (but not in the clip)…making my late-night adventure all the more worth it! Hark, click on the below moonlit mugshot to launch to the clip:
File Under: Double Feature!
This morning's lengthy appearance (it's all relative, folks) was made into a second feature by CNBC, in a piece called '3 reasons not to worry about energy costs….for now'. Hark, click on the below mugshot to launch to it:

Honest, loyal, sweet and a bit sarcastic. Im everyone's favorite girl next door.
I guess I should start with why I'm here. I guess it's because as much as I try to meet new people I just don't seem to have any luck trying it the old fashioned way so I guess I'll try the internet. What to say about myself, well I'm fairly simple, I like everything from a quite night at home to an exciting weekend in Vegas. I'm athletic, mainly water sports but I do like to play softball soccer. I have a small group of friends and family whom I'm close with. I work hard to support myself and somehow throw in having some sort of life outside of work. I know it's vague but if you really want to know about me you'll have to ask me. Who I'm looking for? That's a very good question, and the answer is.. I really don't know. I mean everyone is different and you never know who your going to make a connection with. I warn you I've been out of the dating pool for a while so if we meet and I seem nervous, chances are I am.

Overdue Auto Loans Climb to 10-Year High
NEW YORK -- Auto loans that are at least two months delinquent hit a 10-year high in January, said Fitch Ratings, signaling the continued spread of consumer weakness to debts beyond homes and credit cards.
The firm, a unit of Fimalac SA of Paris, said 0.77% of U.S. prime and subprime auto asset-backed securities were more than 60 days behind on payments, with the rate jumping 12% from December and 44% from a year ago.
Subprime delinquencies topped the 4% level for the first time since late 1997, reaching 4.03% last month, up 10% from December and 43% from a year earlier.
Fitch's prime auto ABS annualized-net-loss index was at 1.28% in January, a 4.5% decline from December but 44% higher than a year earlier.
For subprime loans, the index rose 12% from December, to 8.48%, the highest level since January 2007.
Fitch said two weeks ago that it expected 2008 gross charge-off -- loans that card companies aren't able to collect -- to grow by at least 50%. Following the lead of mortgages and credit cards, auto-loan delinquencies have been on the upswing, in part because of the looser lending standards also plaguing other parts of the consumer-finance industry.

Also because of travel on both sides of this in Germany, I will have a rental car for this trip. Any advice/comments on this and driving as well would be appreciated.
