Uncool? Recycling driver won't empty Don's can but sneaks into Honey Bucket anyway
Admittedly, Don O'Neill isn't the best recycler. And now he's got a big a big beef with the driver who won't empty his can, but has no qualms about using Don's can at the same time.
It's a battle that's been brewing for some time. Over the last month, the recycling driver has refused to empty Don's can because he put some stuff in there that isn't recyclable. After a few rejections, Don even tried covering up the stuff the driver rejected with some cardboard he got from a neighbor's can. But the driver saw through it Tuesday.
"He looks inside the can, I can see the head go side to side like 'nope' and he rejects my recycle can for the third time."
Don could have lived with the rejection, if it wasn't for what happened next.
"He leaves the can, but he still has the gall moments later to pull up in front of my house on the other side, I'm sitting in the driveway, he walks right into my Honey Bucket, he does his thing, and then he walks right out and gets into his truck and takes off down the road."
Don's been having some work done at his house, so he's got an outhouse out front that's become popular with some neighborhood delivery drivers along with his contractor and crew.
"If you're a UPS guy, and you're out there working hard and you gotta go, and I got some room in my Honey Bucket, then go for it. Because it's going to be $89.89 anyway. But if you're not going to take my recycling and still going to use my can, man. I mean, come on."
Clearly the guy didn't know Don was in his car in the driveway when he made his pit stop. Don debated chasing the guy down, but realized recycle rage probably wasn't a good idea.
So what's a guy to do? Don doesn't want to lock up the Honey Bucket and shut out others in need. But he definitely thinks it's only fair to trade a can for a can. Guest co-host Luke Burbank has a suggestion: Don should fill the outhouse with the recycled stuff the guy won't take, so when he opens the door it pours out on him.
What do you think? Does Don have a legitimate gripe?
Listener Justin writes:
It's your responsibility to follow the city rules for recycling. You shouldn't blame your driver for following the rules at work. It's not the driver's rule, it's the city's rule...That being said, if he's using your Honey Bucket, he could do it once.
Listener Brian writes:
Don - Take a sample of the honey bucket contents and put it in a jar. Ship it to waste management and politely explain to them their driver left it at your house, and that your goal is to get rid of waste not acquire more.
Listener Jack writes:
Concerning the recycle bum, wait for him to enter the honey bucket then place a lock on it.
Listener Lloyd writes:
Don, stop placing that item in the recycling container. There must be a reason it is being rejected. Place it in your waste can. Or wherever it belongs.

"And I don't care if you're sick,
I don't care if you're contagious.
I would kiss you even if you were dead.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life?
'Cause I'd do anything to hold your hand.
And I don't care if you're sick,
I don't care if you're contagious.
...Oh, no."
-I Don't Care If You're Contagious
-Pierce the Veil
You could feel Luciano's grip tighten ten-fold. He breath somewhere lost in his throat. You just stared between the two 'brothers,' your (e/c) eyes flickering from one to the other. So, you were right... You knew there was a connection between the two Italians! You would've jumped in joy, but this situation was too terrifying. You gulped loudly.
"How do you know mi bella?" Italy hissed. Romano just shrugged in response.
"I met here on the street one day... And we just started to talk." He started to play with his golden locks. "How do you know her?" Luciano opened his mouth to say something.
But the words would not form. Romano turned to you. His red eyes gleaming in curiosity. "How do you know my brother, ragazza?" You licked your lips, hesitantly.
"He stalks me." You answered casually, causing Luciano to nudge you. You soon had a poker-face on, knowing what you had just said. Romano stared at you, then his brother.
"Oh, well, I guess that's it then~" He chimed and twirled around to the living room. You and Italy just stood there like awkward potatoes(GERMANY). He stopped just before the door way. "Well, are you two love-birds coming? Or are you going to make-out?" He teased. You blushed bright red. And pouted.
"Oi! Come back here!" You stomped towards him, embarrassed. He giggled and ran into the living room. Leaving Italy to think to him-self. He signed and shook his head.
'... Something isn't right...'
You were forced to sit down RIGHT next to Luciano...and when you mean RIGHT, you meant so close you could hear him breath. You sat there with Iggy in your lap. You sighed in annoyance and boredom...
They were talking in rapid Italian. 'Dumbass...' You thought. 'Can't even trust his own soon-to-be-wife.' You looked at the grand-father clock, 9:43... There was a solid silence as the talking was soon cut off.
The gentle melody of the clock almost putting you to sleep. You leaned your head on Luciano, you could feel him tense up as you did so. His eyes darted from you, back to his older brother.
~Luci's point of view~
"What you are doing is wrong!" My older brother snapped at me. If _______ wasn't here, we probably would have been at each other's throats. My right fist clenched my pocket knife. The Bella was on the left of me. I took a deep breath as I tried to calm myself. 'Don't loose control Italy....Don't loose control...' My purple eyes probably looked like I was ready to skin him alive, his red ones reflecting killer instincts as well.
"Haven't you been in love before?!" I snapped.
"You don't know what love is!" He hissed.
"I am attracted to her. I don't want to kill her...Every time I touch her...I just can't get enough..." I paused, looking down shamefully. "I want to have a happy family with her... And I will murder anyone who touches her! Including you!" I barked at him. He either must have been surprise, or scared shitless. "I fucking killer, like me....seduced by a young girl who probably cant even defend her-self for the life of her..."
Was the one emotion I hated the most. I hated it because...
It was such a huge part of my life. When My parents left me and Roma with Nonno(gramdpa), he took us in out of pity. Not love, just pity. When Nonno died, and me and my brother were left on the street like some piece of trash, they gave us food...out of pity.
Never love.
Never acceptance.
Just alone, Wondering for love.
"What if I snap?"
"What if I hurt her."
...She took me in out of pity too...
....just like the rest....
kill her.
Killer her NOW.
............................................................before you get hurt...
I stormed out of the room, leaving a surprise ________ alone with my brother. I turned away before I could see here precious (e/c) eyes. Questioning. Always filled with curiosity...
~Romano's point of view~
Both _______ and I flinched as the door slammed shut. Knowing him, he was probably going to kill someone out of anger. I turned to ______. She stared at me with such determination. "Is there something you want to say!?" I snapped at her.
She turned away. Her (h/c) flowing as she turned her head to the side. "He kidnapped me you know..." She started. My crimson eyes widened in horror.
'I knew it! He never is going to change!...He'll never learn to love properly...'
She got down on her knees, her hands by my feet. She wouldn't look at me though, her
(h/l) hair falling off her shoulders, obscuring her's eyes.
"Please.... Save me..." I heard her choke out.
~your point of view~
"No." He said so carelessly. Your fist clenched. This is not how it was supposed to turn out.... no, Romano was supposed to save you.... This is all wrong. "I won't."
"W-WHY?!" You shouted your head snapping up to face him. You were crying, the salty-tears falling off your cheeks. Your (e/c) eyes filled with hatred and confusion.
"Simply because I can't." Romano answered. You HATED him. Why? How? He was practically leaving you to die here. Where...where was the light at the end of the cave?
Where was your fairy tale?
I sighed as I watched ________ wipe her tears and run up the stairs. Leaving me alone to think over the after math.
How trouble-some, now two people mad at me.
"It's not that I have anything against you or anything...I just can't" I sat there in silence. "I won't."
"Not for my brother's sanity..."
'This truly is... a messed up, sad excuse for a love story...'

Tyra Banks would be so proud.
Rapper Kanye West showed off his modeling skils when he flaunted an impressive smize on the cover of GQ's August issue. Keeping it simple in a white V-neck shirt, thin gold chain and his staple beige coat, Yeezy put on his usual mysterious, no-smile face for the popular mag, which hits newsstands on July 29.
"Kanye West, man of many talents, style god of epic proportions, new father, devoted husband, and now, a GQ cover," the website states.
While the magazine has yet to reveal the goodness given from their interview with 'Ye, the cover teases that "Kanye West tells us how to grow up, survive a wedding, stay outrageous, and dress like a God."
Yep, that sounds about right.
West has been busy recording new music during his vacation in Mexico with Kim Kardashian and baby girl North West. "His whole crew is out there recording," a source exclusively told E! News. "His whole music studio was shipped out. It's been amazing."
We were also told that Kanye has had North in the studio with him half the time, the 1-year-old being one of her hip-hop superstar daddy's biggest fans. "She loves music and is obsessed with hearing it in the studio," our source said.
Do we have a future musician on our hands?!
Don't forget to watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians Sunday nights at 9 p.m., only on E!

Really good!
This is definitely up to 2d/ Avizura standards and I especially dig the guitar sounding part at 1:15 but... I feel like some of your recent songs including this one have lacked some of the complexity that I've come to expect in your top tier songs. Utopia is still far and beyond my favorite trance from you! Keep up the great work :)
Yeah, I don't use the videogame type leads a lot anymore, but there are like 4 times as much instruments on my newest songs.
I think I'm gonna work on an uplifting version of Utopia and include it with the Winter Extended Play. '
Thanks for the review! =D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The song is awesome. If you could add an introduction with a voice or something similar, it should be even better.
Man, I wish I could sing xD Would be really cool.
I can always use the melodyne plugin I cracked -- uhhm bought, but I still sound way to young and you don't want songs with a voice that sounds like justin bieber.
Thanks for the review David!

I like the shampoo better than the conditioner. I use it when I need to remove product build up. It gets hair squeaky clean without sulfates. I alternate with Oribe gold lust shampoo, and cleansing conditioner. Then if I want super clean with sulfates, I use Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three.4
i usually dont write reviews but this product makes your hair feel great. it's smells wonderful and leaves your hair soft and shiny. I've used other products like it but they don't compare. I will definitely order it again.i hope Birchbox continues selling this product at this great price as it is not easy to find it where I live.
my daughter loves it as well!!
The description of this product is on-point - a little of this shampoo goes a long way. just a quarter size lathers into a soft foam that covers all your hair - and I have LOTS of hair. one use and I already see more shine and more softness. If i get through the whole bottle and see less frizz this will go on my favorites list.4
I actually get the shampoo and conditioner for my mom who has really dry and curly hair (she and I have very different hair types). She tried a sample before and fell in love, so I got her the full size. She said it is the best product she's ever used for her hair and her hair feels super soft afterwards. I tried it as well and it worked good on my hair, too (normal, wavy, long). The shampoo was extremely cleansing and rid my hair of any product previously in it without making it feel dried out.5
I've been using natural shampoos for a couple of years now because I don't like how regular shampoo strips your hair - my hair is super fine and easily damaged.
The problem I've had with natural shampoos is they don't feel like they actually clean my hair. My hair gets oily really fast so I have to wash it a lot. That being said, this shampoo actually cleans my hair AND it's all natural. It's win/win. This is the BEST shampoo I've ever tried.

Encoding Information: Unique Natufian Objects from Hayonim Cave, Western Galilee, Israel
Bar-Yosef, O., Belfer-Cohen, A., Antiquity
Since the original discoveries of Natufian cultural remains by D. Garrod in Shukbah and El-Wad caves in Mt Carmel and by R. Neuville in the Judean Desert (Garrod 1957; Neuville 1951), the 'art' objects recovered from those sites have become a focal point in attempts to reconstruct aspects of the Natufian spiritual domain. Some researchers have even considered them as manifestations of a prehistoric religion in the Near East (e.g. M.-C. Cauvin 1991; J. Cauvin 1997). In the 1950s and 1960s, further excavations of Natufian sites, defined on the basis of their content as base camps or sedentary hamlets, considerably augmented the number of known objects placed in this category of 'artistic' or 'symbolic' manifestations. These sites include Nahal Oren, Ain Mallaha (Eynan), Hayonim Cave and Terrace, Rosh Zin, Wadi Hammeh 27 and the renewed excavation at El-Wad (Bar-Yosef 1983; 1991; 1997; Bar-Yosef & Belfer-Cohen 1989; 1992; Belfer-Cohen 1988; 1991a; 1991b; Edwards 1991; Noy 1991; Valla 1995; Weinstein-Evron & Belfer-Cohen 1993).
The Natufian, dated to c. 13,000/12,800 to 10,500/300 BP, is the first archaeological culture in the Levant regularly to have produced objects considered as manifestations of art. The most common elements are marine shell beads, known since the late Upper Palaeolithic, c. 20,000 BP, but the frequency of their occurrence rises sharply during the Natufian. In addition, Natufian contexts provide jewellery items made of other raw materials, for example stone and bone beads and pendants, as well as beads made of ostrich egg-shells. However, the most striking phenomenon related to the Natufian is the appearance, for the first time in the region's prehistory, of three-dimensional figurines or figurative engravings (Garrod & Bate 1937; Neuville 1951; Noy 1991; Weinstein-Evron & Belfer-Cohen 1993). Earlier occurrences are few and sporadic, for example the Lower Palaeolithic figurine from Berekhat Ram (Goren-Inbar 1986; Marshack 1997a), the engraved horse from the Aurignacian level of Hayonim Cave (Belfer-Cohen & Bar-Yosef 1981; Marshack 1997b) or the rarely found incised pebble and bone found in Kebaran contexts (Tixier 1974; Hovers 1990; Marshack 1997b).
Decorated bone and stone artefacts such as spatulas, bowls, slabs and shaft straighteners are more numerous in Natufian sites (Noy 1991; Bar-Yosef 1997). Most famous are the decorated sickle hafts with three-dimensional carved animals (Garrod 1957; Belfer-Cohen 1991b and references therein). The subjects of the decorations or incised patterns range from realistic depictions of ungulates (generally interpreted as gazelles) to abstract, repetitive patterns of cross-hatching, net designs and regular lines.
Recent research has suggested that the distribution of the decorative motives among the various Natufian sites is not random. The 'art' objects and/or 'ornamental' elements fall into a number of clusters confined to particular sites, and may therefore be considered the hallmarks of specific groups (Henry 1989; Noy 1991; Stordeur 1992). This contention is supported by the similar geographic distribution pattern of bead types among generally contemporary Natufian sites (Belfer-Cohen 1988; 1991a; 1991b). On the basis of these observations, it may be that the Natufian sites of Hayonim Cave and of the terrace in front of it belonged to a particular social group, whose territory comprised the Mount Carmel and Western Galilee area.
Hayonim Cave, which has been excavated since 1965, contains the remains of a series of Natufian occupations with several built-up rooms, graves [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED], rich flint and bone industries, ground stone utensils, and various 'artistic' manifestations (Bar-Yosef 1991; Belfer-Cohen 1988; 1991a; Marshack 1997b). Together with the terrace (Valla et al. 1989), the Hayonim site is considered to be a Natufian base camp. This report will focus on some of the bone and limestone objects recently discovered at Hayonim Cave, as well as on a single item from the Kebara Cave, which relates directly to the specimens from Hayonim. …

Renewable Energy in NYC Affordable Housing
Solar power in New York City has a tony reputation.
Here in the Big Apple, where solar can eventually supply one-seventh of the city's power, we like to show off the building-integrated photovoltaics at the luxury Visionaire, in Battery Park City. Or the 20 kilowatts on the roof at the Atelier, another luxury development, in Midtown.
East New York's Gateway Elton affordable housing complex is made even more affordable with solar. The development was built with the needs of low-income tenants in mind, with money-saving Energy Star appliances, VOC-free paints, no off-gassing vinyl, and water-saving dual-flush toilets.
But one of the fastest growing sectors for residential solar in the city is affordable housing—housing built with the budgetary and social service needs of lower-income residents in mind. "As solar costs continue to decrease, innovative approaches are being used to bring more people access to clean energy," says Tom Osdoba, Vice President of Green Initiatives at Enterprise Community Partners, which helps develop and preserve affordable housing nationwide.
That growth is in evidence this week, as tenants move into the new Gateway Elton, a 197-unit affordable housing development in Brooklyn's East New York neighborhood. "You can see the panels from the street," Aaron Koffman of the Hudson Companies Inc. says proudly. With the Brooklyn-based non-profit CAMBA, Hudson developed the complex. At 214 kilowatts, Gateway Elton's solar array is the largest residential array in all of New York state. In my borough, Brooklyn. Fantastic!
Hudson Companies and CAMBA built Gateway Elton green—it's LEED Silver and Energy Star certified—with its intended tenants in mind. "East New York has the one of the worst asthma rates in the entire city," Koffman explains. To improve indoor air quality and the breathing of its residents, the builders used VOC-free paints and no off-gassing vinyl in construction. There are Energy Star appliances and dual-flush, water-saving toilets. "We understand where we're building," says Koffman, "and don't want to do anything to negatively impact people's health." The solar was icing on the cake. "In New York City, roofs can have lots of obstructions that make solar less effective," Koffman says. "But with Gateway Elton, we decided that since we had the height and the lack of obstructions, we were just going for it."
Tenants in the building have incomes below 60 percent of the area's median income—$46,080 for a family of four. They pay a fixed percentage of their income as rent. The solar, which will supply two-thirds of the electricity used in building common areas, will help keep Gateway Elton affordable for the management company and residents alike. "We're projecting full payback for the system in five to six years," Koffman says. The system should last for at least 25, so savings after that are pure gravy.
The Gateway Elton solar array was built with support from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, which also helped underwrite the building's energy-efficiency measures. (Solar and energy efficiency make a great combination, by the way. Efficiency measures lower buildings' energy needs, meaning more of them can be met by a rooftop solar array. For owners of single-family homes, efficiency can reduce the amount of solar that needs to be installed and can further cut homeowners' costs.) A 30 percent federal tax credit also helped with the Gateway upfront investment.
Incentives such as these have helped drive incredible price drops in installed solar in recent years. Between January 2011 and June 2012 alone, those prices fell by 14 to 21 percent nationwide. And since then, costs have continued to decline. They should fall even further here in New York, thanks to Governor Cuomo's recent, forward-looking decision to extend the New York Sun Initiative for another 10 years. The Sun Initiative is designed build the state's solar industry and lower the so-called "balance of system" costs that can account for two-thirds of solar's installed price.
All that is great news for low-income residents like those at Gateway Elton. They spend a significantly larger percentage of their income on energy than middle- and higher-income individuals and families. And they're more likely to live in neighborhoods where asthma rates are high, thanks, in part, to power-plant pollution.
Gateway isn't the first New York City affordable housing complex on which Hudson Companies has built solar. In 2011, it put what was then "the largest solar array on a residential building in New York State"—80.5 kW—atop its Dumont Green, a 176 unit affordable housing complex, also in East New York.
Now, the company is thinking big, with two more solar-roofed, affordable-housing developments in the works right next to Gateway. "Our goal," says Koffman, "is to get to a megawatt on Elton Street."

I first joined NRDC in 1988 after working for a federal judge for two years. In my early years, I had the chance to work on a wide range of great cross-cutting issues at NRDC, ranging from working to improve New York City's sewage system and to reform its zoning code in my early years; fighting water pollution in the Hudson River; and bringing scores of enforcement cases across the country. ...

I love apples and apple juice...but for some reason everytime I eat or drink anything with apples the nausea kicks in again!! I guess baby doesn't like apples?? lol I dont know...
WHY does APPLE JUICE make me sick??
Comments (7)
Same thing happened with me and Orange Juice. I absolutly love it but now can not drink it without getting sick.... so I had to switch to apple juice b/c I don't get sick from it.
Identical BOYS due 10/10/13
Don't know why, but I have this problem when not preggers too. Usually, only with apple juice... but there are times eating any significant quantity of apple will do it. I stick with grape juice and the V8 juices that don't contain apple juice and OJ. Seems to quench the need for juice that way... Its sad though, I also love apple juice, apple cider, applesauce, etc. I still eat it at times and just suffer.
I believe it is the acid. I think that is what the nurse practicioner at my OB office told me at the beginning of my pregnancy. Both apples and oranges (more so oranges) are high in citric acid. I love apple and orange juice, but at the beginning of my pregnancy, I couldn't keep either one of them down.

Be careful of Sunny D when pregnant. I drank a cup well over 24 hours before my glucose test and ended up having to retest. They asked me what I had been eating/drinking and as soon as I said Sunny D they said "no, no".
As for apple juice...I give it to LO anytime she quits having regular BMs. Works like a charm, but I have no idea why.

The first event, a Youth Summit, was held in Phokeng at the Royal Bafokeng Nation North West Province. Youth with and without disabilities came together for a 3 day conference to promote respect, dignity, and inclusion for people of all abilities. The summit attracted 50 partners, 30 athletes, 12 school chaperones, and 13 staff and volunteers, including Peace Corps. The closing ceremony was also attended by the Head of the Royal Bafokeng Institute, the Program Director from Peace Corps, and former Banyana Banyana football celebrity Nthabeleng Modiko who came along to motivate the youth. Ricardo, a student of Charora High School was very inspired by the discussions on EKS, " the thing that I will remember about the Special Olympics Youth Summit was the session where we learned about the creator of Special Olympics, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. She had that passion to let the world know that we have people that we neglect and it's time to be with them. She had a human heart and I will never forget that how important Special Olympics is." The second event, a Camp Shriver that took place at the 3 Square Sports complex in Alexandra. It was a five day camp with 98 participants generously funded by Kim Samuel and the Samuel foundation. The camp trained in four sporting codes basketball, netball, football (7-aside) and athletics (4xrelay). The event was widely covered by local media. The camp was supported by national players including former Banyana Banyana football player, Ms. Simphiwe Dludlu, and the Spar Ladies Netball Team player Ms. Ntswaki and her teammates. The camp began with a torch run and parade through Alex to create awareness.

The American Nurses Association (ANA) commends the White House for its decision to nominate Marilyn Tavenner, MHA, BSN, RN, to permanently head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Tavenner, a former ICU nurse, has served as chief executive officer of the Hospital Corporation of America and was Virginia's secretary of Health and Human Resources under then-Governor Tim Kaine. She joined CMS in February 2010 and became acting administrator in December 2011.
"Marilyn is more than prepared to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency that touches the life of every American through the Medicare, Medicaid, and children's health insurance programs, promotes quality standards, and develops policy innovations intended to expand patient access to high quality healthcare," says ANA President Karen A. Daley, PhD, RN, FAAN.
"We at ANA believe that her expertise and experience will provide CMS with the leadership needed to guide our healthcare system during this time of great change. We urge a swift confirmation process so that CMS can continue its work to improve the health care of individuals and families nationwide."

Cazenovia Seven hundred and sixty residents of the Cazenovia Central School District visited the high school auditorium on May 15 to cast their ballots for the 2012-13 proposed budget, the purchase of school buses, funding for area libraries and for four candidates vying for three seats on the board of education.
The 2012-13 budget was passed, with a total of 592 "yes" votes over 159 "no."
Proposition No. 2, regarding the purchase of four new school buses, was passed with a total of 591 "yes" votes over 164 "no."
Proposition No. 3, authorizing a total tax levy of $517,453 for the Cazenovia Public Library and New Woodstock Free Library, was passed with a total of 580 "yes" votes over 174 "no."
Current CCSD Board of Education members Karin Marris, Cindy Bell Tobey and Pat Vogl were re-elected for three-year terms, with 527, 540 and 534 votes, respectively. Nicole McLean received a total of 414 votes.
Marris was re-elected for a fourth term, having served on the board for the last nine years. "I really appreciate everyone who voted – especially for the incumbents – because I think we're going to need a lot of experience coming up in the next few years with the way the budgets have been, and the economy," she said. "I think we'll do a good job, and I'm excited for the next three years."
Tobey has served on the BOE for the last four years, and was happy to be re-elected for another term. "I would like to thank everybody who came out and voted today, it is much appreciated. It's going to be a tough next three years, but I think we're all up for the challenge."
Vogl was also re-elected for a fourth term, having served on the board for the last nine years — two of which as president. "I'm glad that the school budget, bus purchases and library support passed. Those are all very important," he said. "I'm also glad to be back on the board with the other incumbent candidates; we all get along very well, and work together as a team. We have our differences, but at the end of the day, it's all in the best interest of the school.

OUYA is coming to stores
Our loyal-est loyalists...
We have some good news today. Because of the support for OUYA you showed, some of our favorite stores are going to carry OUYA when it officially launches to the public in June.
Just so you know, you're still getting yours as promised, before they're ever in stores. Wanted to be sure you heard that from us.
For you developers, this means even more OUYAs will soon be in the hands of gamers everywhere, so get makin' on those games...
Keeping calm,
Creator David Cheatham on February 5, 2013
@jonathan this is the ouya if it doenst have a traditional remote now you can either fix that yourself or wait a couple weeks for someone else to benifits of a box thats open to modding
Creator Michael Woods on February 5, 2013
Stu. On the right of the page is the rewards. On the reward you selected it should say "Survey Sent" and "your response". Click on that link and you should be able to update your address.
Creator Stu Grubbs on February 5, 2013
URGENT need to update my address! Where do I do this?
Creator cimerians on February 5, 2013
For retail please advertise it as an Android console and "play games on your TV". That may help with people who don't know what this is. The ma's and pa's of the world. Also, somehow to convey that games are cheap not 60 bucks a pop. I'm sure you guys have thought about it but the big problem with the Wii-U in my opinion is that normal folk dont know what it is or just don't want another console. Ipods and tablets are big with kids now. Minecraft, apps etc. Need to hook em' in and make them look at it! :)
Creator Jonathan Normand on February 5, 2013
I really hope there will be a traditional remote control for this. When watching movies with XBMC I really don't want to use a controller.
Creator Jeff Craig on February 5, 2013
@Matthew Baldo: For wireless controllers with a touch-interface, the price is pretty well inline with controllers. Though $50 controllers for a $100 console feels high, if you don't look at the rest of the market.
Creator Matthew Baldo on February 5, 2013
I hope you guys can figure out someway to cut down the price a bit on the controllers.
Also do you have a plan for selling credit through the stores? They won't keep you there if they don't continue to make money. So having a display with cards in 10-20-50 values would be well worth it.
Creator Rush on February 5, 2013
Being in stores is awesome, can't wait for the public to get their hands on it
Creator Chris Jean on February 5, 2013
Congrats team Ouya. That's amazing news. Excellent work. I get more excited to start messing around with Ouya each day.
Creator Devin Gallagher on February 5, 2013
So... do backers get a price break If we decide to order a second controller?
Creator ddbelyea on February 5, 2013
This is an especially big deal to parents. This means that a parent will be looking directly at an OUYA when they are shopping for a console for their kids. That $99 price tag is going to be hard thing for even the big name companies to compete with. Especially if right on the box you can advertise things like minecraft, FFIII, and the ability to use tablets/smartphones. Even if the kids don't care about those things, parents know that minecraft and Final fantasy are popular things and will be looking for reasons not to buy expensive consoles.
Creator bobbybobbob on February 5, 2013
How can people be complaining that they got a controller for $20 less than retail? I would be a bit upset if I paid the same as retail and got no bonus other than getting the console a tiny bit earlier.
Congrats to the OUYA team for hitting this milestone.
Creator Andrew Dieffenbach on February 5, 2013
Huge! Getting OUYA in retail stores was what I told the OUYA team to do with the extra money when they asked--not like they needed me to tell them. Great job; I'm curious if this is online only though.
Creator Darryell Randle on February 5, 2013
Cool! When will get updated on when our consoles will arrive next month and which games will be available to download?
Creator Over the River on February 5, 2013
The Amazon ad blew me away. I can't wait to get mine so I can add a glowing review.
Creator xmcnuggetx on February 5, 2013
Wish I would have gotten 4 controllers with my kickstarter order...
Creator xmcnuggetx on February 5, 2013
A bit disappointing with the price hike of the controller. The pricing now seems strange that the controller is worth 50$ and the console itself is worth 50$.
Creator UnseenHero on February 5, 2013
I know this might sound ignorant but sorry. It is great you are selling this to stores but are you selling the white or the black ones? I thought black was kickstarter exclusive only ( or brown brushed metal). The picture on ouya.com where you are selling them it is in black. So I was just wondering.
Creator Balazs Nadasdi on February 5, 2013
Is this mean you send out an OUYA for backers soon? :)
Creator twenty3x on February 5, 2013
This is incredible!
Creator Len Mulaski on February 5, 2013
Thank you James...I was just wondering if it's still in March or not. I thought I might have missed something about a production delay...thanks for responding! :)
Creator James on February 5, 2013
@Len "you're still getting yours as promised, before they're ever in stores". It's right in the update.
Creator Len Mulaski on February 5, 2013
Hm...now I'm concerned. I was hoping to get mine in the mail in March, but since it's not going to be released until June does that mean we have to wait until May for us backers?
Creator d0ct0rscarecr0w on February 5, 2013
I'm kind of wishing I got 3 extra controllers instead of 1 since they where 20 dollars cheaper on here.
Creator Jhonrock on February 5, 2013
on time... now it's better to buy another console than only one extra controller.
Creator Jhonrock on February 5, 2013
Now i'm glad more than ever to have backed/pre-ordered Ouya with one extra controller during kickstarter campaign. 50 bucks it will cost now? Jesus!!!
Creator Kevin Buisson on February 5, 2013
Je suis un peu déçu du faite qu'on devait débourser 40$ de plus pour avoir la Ouya collector en noir et l'a voir dorénavant sur votre boutique pour le public de la même couleur pour le prix de 99$ c'est à dire le prix que j'ai payé pour avoir la version "normale"
J'ai peut-être mal compris,
j'attend une explication de votre part.
Creator James Coote on February 5, 2013
Any chance it'll retail outside North America?
Creator Danj3ris on February 5, 2013
Can't wait to see what Gamestop offers as a pre-order bonus, considering over 60,000 people are getting their Ouya's in March, and even more than that are getting them in April before it is even released to the public.
Considering it's Gamestop, I'm going to say that they provide an exclusive screwdriver to open your Ouya. Or a bunch of free demos. :p
Creator ET3D on February 5, 2013
Well done. I hope it flies off store shelves.
Creator Zoe Tsang on February 5, 2013
Guys... Public release is June... So us KS backers will still get them March and site preorders in April.
You need to stop skim reading.

Creator Hamilton on February 5, 2013
Guys. Check Amazon. The system is being listed and searched as being for a Oyua Platform. need to fix that misspell!
Creator Antonio "DxDark" Merchant-Bunkley on February 5, 2013
"Bah, pushed back to June? 'Sallright, I kind of expected that :)"
WHEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC...funders will still get theirs on time I presume...
Creator James Chung on February 5, 2013
Searching "Ouya" on Amazon doesn't bring up the console on top. It's like 10th item. I hope it gets fixed.
Congrats! Can't wait to make games for it.
Creator Nirav Mehta on February 5, 2013
Dang I want that color:/ I hope there's a way for us to get it
Creator Juan Valenzuela on February 5, 2013
SWEEEEEEEEEET! So happy for this being taken up with the retail stores.

Creator Ladislav Thon on February 5, 2013
Yeah, what about the color? :-) Otherwise, Amazon selling OUYA? Awesome stuff!
Creator RustySpork on February 5, 2013
Bah, pushed back to June? 'Sallright, I kind of expected that :)
But holy shit, you got national retailers to carry you? That's awesome!
Creator zeSTUDIO on February 5, 2013
Fantastic news, congrats OUYA team!
Creator Anthony on February 5, 2013
Oh man, I was hoping the OUYA would be exclusive to online shoppers to help weed-out little kids and n00bs.... >.<
Creator Alex Hatzenbuhler on February 5, 2013
What is the color that is going to be offered in stores? It seems darker than the original...
Creator Michal Varga on February 5, 2013
Great! Congrats you guys!

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Federal prosecutors in Portland, Ore., say they've cracked a multi-state diamond theft ring that made off with more than $1.4 million in gems from various jewelers.
Five people indicted in Portland are charged with interstate transportation of stolen property and conspiracy.
Two of the five Michael Young, 39, of Davenport, Florida, and Ernest Remor, 36, of Spring Hill, Florida, appeared Wednesday before a federal magistrate and were ordered detained as flight risks pending trial set for Sept. 27. The Oregonian says they both pleaded not guilty.
The FBI says a man would walk into a jewelry store and pretend to shop for a diamond ring. After asking to see large gems, the phony customer would grab them and race to a getaway car.
The indictment describes seven thefts from stores in Oregon, California, Tennessee and Nevada. It says the gems were transported to Pennsylvania for sale.

Foremost: a Linux computer forensics tool
Computer sleuths interested in running forensic PC operations on a Linux machines should take a look at an open source tool called Foremost.
Written by agents in the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Foremost can read through files and file headers on PCs or copied PC hard disk images. The tool scans a drive or drive image for pre-defined file types or specific text strings, which are defined in a configuration file. Foremost can be used to recover entire files, or partial file fragments from a damaged disk as well as from deleted files on a hard drive. When the program finds files, it copies the file header and data to a file on the local Linux machine.

Farmington's NPDES Requirements and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP)
Lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands are among the most important natural resources for Minnesotans and everyone can do their part to protect the quality of these resources for future generations. But when rain falls on hard surfaces such as paved streets, parking lots and rooftops it flows across these areas and picks up and carries materials that can pollute our water resources. Polluted runoff can contain soil, oil, grease, fertilizer, trash and pet waste. These pollutants end up being transported though the municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) and do not go to treatment plants but discharge into small ponds, streams and wetlands in the community. Eventually this water moves, either through the ground or from pond to pond, to the Vermillion River, a trophy trout stream that runs through Farmington. Polluted runoff can severely reduce the quality of water we fish from, swim in and drink.
An amendment in 1987, to the Federal Clean Water Act required implementation of a two-phase national program to address storm water runoff and its associated pollutants. Phase I regulated construction sites larger than five acres, 10 categories of industrial facilities and major metropolitan cities. In Minnesota, the cities affected by Phase I of the storm water program were Minneapolis and St. Paul.
In 2003, Phase II was implemented to include construction sites greater than one acre and smaller municipalities. Farmington is required to follow National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II requirements since the population is over 10,000 (based on census data). Under Phase II operators of small MS4s needed to obtain authorization from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to discharge storm water runoff to surface water. The permit is designed to prevent items considered pollutants from being washed by storm water runoff into the municipal storm sewer and then discharged from the storm sewer into local waterbodies.
The MPCA reissued the NPDES Phase II permit effective August 1, 2013, requires municipalities to submit a revised application and update our Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). A complete version of the new MS4 General Permit and Stormwater Permit are available on the SWPPP page.

Navigating Conflicts in Cyberspace: Legal Lessons from the History of War at Sea
Rabkin, Jeremy, Rabkin, Ariel, Chicago Journal of International Law
Despite mounting concern about cyber attacks, the United States has been hesitant to embrace retaliatory cyber strikes in its overall defense strategy. Part of the hesitation seems to reflect concerns about limits imposed by the law of armed conflict. But analysts who invoke today's law of armed conflict forget that war on the seas has always followed different rules. The historic practice of naval war is a much better guide to reasonable tactics and necessary limits for conflirt in cyberspace. Cyber conflict should be open-as naval war has been-to hostile measures short of war, to attacks on enemy commerce, to contributions from private auxiliaries. To keep such measures within safe bounds, we should consider special legal constraints, analogous to those traditionally enforced by prize courts.

"There are no new problems in the law, only forgotten solutions and the issues which arose yesterday will always arise again tomorrow. "2
I. Introduction
In the summer of 2011, General James E. Cartwright, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, expressed frustration with the government's current approach to cyber attacks: "If it's OK to attack me, and I'm not going to do anything other than improve my defenses every time you attack me, it's very difficult to come up with a deterrent strategy."3 At the time, there was much dispute about whether the United States could use cyber technology as an offensive weapon and, if so, in what circumstances.
A few weeks later, the House of Representatives sought to clarify the issue with a provision in the 2012 Defense Authorization Act: "Congress affirms that the Department of Defense has the capability, and, upon direction by the President, may conduct offensive operations in cyberspace to defend our Nation, Allies and interests." The Senate insisted on a qualification, however, which was duly inserted in the final text of the legislation: "subject to-(1) the policy principles and legal regimes that the Department follows for kinetic capabilities, including the law of armed conflict; and (2) the War Powers Resolution."4
In June of 2012, The New York Times published a detailed account of an elaborate, long-term American effort to disrupt Iran's nuclear weapons program:5 A customized computer virus, Stuxnet, devised by American programmers, had been introduced into the equipment regulating Iranian centrifuges, causing the centrifuges to malfunction, thereby setting back Iranian efforts to purify uranium to the level required for nuclear weapons. …

Malta was our last spot in our Honeymoon... it's a small island, rich of history, culture and friendly people. After a lot of consideration we decided to book at the Grand Hotel Excelsior as it is close to the capital city Valletta. In fact Valletta was only about 10 minutes on foot, and the hotel also provides a courtesy car.
The hotel facade is not exactly glamourous, however once you get off the taxi and walk in the hotel, it looks amazing. The service is excellent, we were welcomed by a rather chubby porter who did his best to welcome us, took our luggage, got us a drink and even got us warm towels to freshen up... amazing. The lady at reception (can't remember the name) made more fuss about our being on honeymoon than we did, she congratulated us on our wedding and even thanked us for our spending it there; I had never thought it could mean such a big deal for a hotel.
The rooms are spacious, we were given an upgrade to a Sea Front room and the view from there is amazing, I would recommend booking these kind of rooms to anyone, the view is so relaxing. The room came along with Fresh Fruit and Sparkling Wine (the hotel wanted to help us celebrate our honeymoon).
Food was good, though the A La Carte Menu and the Room Service Menu don't have much variety. The BReakfast though is impressive and they serve great buffets in the evening.
Last and most impressive, were the guests in the hotel, never had I thought I would come across a real King in my life, and yet there he was, residing in the same hotel as us, the King of Spain. No wonder we felt pampered, if royalty chooses this hotel, than this hotel must be the top notch on the island. To us if was a Grand Honour.
When staying there, look out for the Front Office Manager, he's normally in the lobby as his office is there, he has done all he could to make our stay exceptional, his ways are clearly reflected on his staff.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Grand Hotel Excelsior Malta is a deluxe, 5-star resort situated within the sixteenth century fortifications of Malta's capital city, Valletta - a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Excelsior commands the island's premier waterfront location offering breathtaking sea views of Marsamxett Harbour and Manoel Island. As a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the hotel exceeds expectations on the basis of its 5-star service excellence. All deluxe rooms and suites enjoy a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary design mixed with modern 5-star convenience including multi-channel flat screen TV. Spread over ten levels, three of which are executive floors, most of the rooms and suites overlook stunning harbour views. The Excelsior's facilities include a private 30-berth marina, large outdoor and indoor swimming pools, health & beauty centre and 3 food and beverage outlets. The Excelsior offers versatile conference & banqueting facilities, fourteen flexible venues, a number of which have natural daylight - an ideal environment for business meetings, conferences and other events. Near to the Excelsior is the Mediterranean Conference Centre. This historical building enhances the Excelsior's conference potential with an auditorium capacity for up to one thousand four hundred delegates. The Grand Hotel Excelsior opened its doors to its first guests on the 10th September 2007. Right from the start it was very clear that the product and service offerings were to be of a superior nature. The hotel prides itself in attracting and retaining a faithful following of leisure and business guests as well as prominent international personalities. ... more less

The Russian flag flew again over the governor's office in Donetsk last night after a day of shifting fortunes in an occasionally farcical battle for control of Ukraine's industrial heartland.
Eastern Ukraine's secessionist leader appeared to have won a temporary victory over the billionaire oligarch sent by Kiev to take control of the predominantly Russian region.
Pavel Gubarev, 30, the local businessman who has appointed himself governor, advocating that the region should unite with Russia, began the day in defeat. An anonymous phone call to police at 9am suggested that a landmine was inside the regional government offices that had
