8-bit sunglasses should be 256 pixels wide.
I like that the article has the $150 glass for the WTF!? and then the ones for the price that is more like what you'd actually expect to pay for such a novelty. ($10).
Just bought a pair of $150 pixelated glasses?
Deal with it!
Hmm… I think the $10 ones looks much cooler than the expensive ones.
I guess neither of them make the world look pixelated, though.
Now THAT would be cool, that you see the world pixelated.
You do, but the resolution's pretty awesome. The original retina display.
$150 for a pair of sunglasses with a very uncomfortable-looking nosepiece? That's fashion, baby!
$150…those are custom made with my prescription right?
At least the $10 pair looks like they might be able to fit new lenses.
The more expensive ones have better lines, they also look to be of nicer construction. what is unclear is if the material has any UV protection, which supposedly the cheaper ones do. the major difference I belive is that the cheap ones are made in China, most likely by borderline slave laborers, whereas the expensive ones are "hand made" in France.

Sizing Europe is more likely to stay in Ireland than run in the William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on December 26.
He may turn 11 in a few weeks, but the 2011 Queen Mother Champion Chase winner has appeared in the form of his life in his two wins to date so far this season, though with good ground not guaranteed at Kempton, trainer Henry de Bromhead is "leaning" towards staying at home.
"It's not 100% just yet that he isn't going to Kempton, but at this stage we are leaning towards Leopardstown," said De Bromhead.
"Which race he runs in will obviously depend on the ground. We've got the option of the Lexus or the Dial-A-Bet and we'll choose the best race for the conditions."

LOCAL COUNCILS will be in line for a business tax boost if they allow fracking operations to take place in their areas, the prime minister has confirmed.
English local authorities that back fracking will receive all of the business rates collected from shale gas exploration and extraction, rather than the typical 50%.
The government claims the initiative will support 74,000 jobs and drive down bills, the BBC reports.
Officials said the commitment would see councils gain an extra £1.7m a year per fracking site, while mining companies had already pledged to give communities £100,000 per test drilling, plus a further 1% of revenues if shale gas is found.
Energy minister Michael Fallon claimed areas supporting fracking could benefit as much as £10m if shale gas was successfully extracted in their communities, through a 1% levy on company profits from fracking.
The British Geological Survey estimates there is 1,300 trillion cubic feet of shale gas present in the north of England. The fracking process to extract it has caused controversy over fears it can lead to earth tremors, water contamination and environmental damage.
French company Total confirmed it will be the first major energy company to invest in fracking in the UK, with £30m set aside to support two exploratory wells in Lincolnshire.
David Cameron said: "A key part of our long-term economic plan to secure Britain's future is to back businesses with better infrastructure.
"That's why we're going all out for shale. It will mean more jobs and opportunities for people, and economic security for our country."

Industry reacts to Energy Bill
The Energy Bill allows ministers to treble investment in low-carbon power generation
Energy Secretary Ed Davey has set out a "once-in-a-generation transformation" of the UK's power sector which ministers hope will keep the lights on, drive growth and jobs and cut emissions.
The long-delayed Energy Bill, formally published this week, allows ministers to treble investment in low-carbon power generation to £7.6 billion by 2020, up from £2.35 billion this year.
But its failure to include a target to slash emissions from the electricity sector by 2030 has led to criticism from environmental groups that the measures do not go far enough to secure the investment in green technology needed in the next two decades.
Concerns have also been raised that the trebling of funding for green power sources such as wind farms this decade, which will be levied on fuel bills, will push up already soaring household energy costs.
Davey insisted that government policies were designed to reduce consumer bills and prevent them being at the mercy of rising global fossil fuel prices.
Overall, government policies on electricity generation and support for energy efficiency measures would reduce bills, he said.
"The net effect of government policy on energy bills is downward, not upwards," he told MPs in the Commons.
Current analysis from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) suggests the average household bill will be 7 per cent or £94 lower in 2020 than it would without all the policies the government is pursuing in the sector.
Davey has said the support for low-carbon electricity will add less than £100 a year to bills.
An estimated £110 billion is needed in the next decade to renew the UK's aging electricity infrastructure, with much set to go into low-carbon power sources such as wind farms.
The Energy Bill sets out plans for long-term contracts which will ensure companies are paid a guaranteed price for the electricity they generate from low-carbon sources, to overcome the high capital costs of offshore wind and nuclear reactors.
The Energy Secretary told MPs: "We are now preparing a once-in-a-generation transformation of the energy landscape to bring on massive private sector investment which will boost the economy, create jobs and power Britain towards a prosperous low carbon future."
The Bill will also include measures to ensure consumers are on the lowest tariff that suits their needs, after an intervention by Prime Minister David Cameron which caused surprise and confusion in many quarters.
Other measures set out today include a "capacity mechanism" in which companies will be able to bid for support to provide power sources or reduce demand to ensure the lights stay on even during peak demand.
Although there is no target to decarbonise the power sector by 2030, the Bill does include the power to set a target if it is considered to be needed in 2016.
The government has also published proposals to reduce energy demand, as DECC estimates a 10 per cent reduction in electricity use could save £4 billion by 2030 and reduce carbon emissions equivalent to those of a large city in a year.
Among ideas included in the two-month consultation are financial incentives for firms and individuals that install more efficient equipment, such as better freezers in supermarkets.
Firms could also be paid to commit to permanent reductions in their electricity use, and an obligation on energy firms to help secure efficiencies extended to cover business premises.
Better labelling of products and an awards scheme to highlight firms that use only highly-efficient products are also included in the consultation.
Davey described the reforms to the electricity market as an "economic opportunity".
"It will stimulate supply chains and support jobs in every part of the country, capitalising on our engineering prowess and our natural resources, cementing the UK's place at the forefront of clean energy development," he said.
"In an era of rising global energy prices by shifting to more home-grown sources of power and by becoming more energy efficient, we can cushion our economy and households from the fluctuations of world gas markets."
He added: "We intend to underpin this with reforms to the retail market to simplify tariffs and make sure consumers are able to get the best deal for them."
The Energy Bill has been the subject of political wrangling within the coalition, with Davey voicing support for long-term limits on carbon emissions by the power sector and Chancellor George Osborne backing a second "dash for gas" with support for new gas power plants as a cheap source of electricity and tax relief for unconventional shale gas exploration in the UK.
Calls for a 2030 decarbonisation target have come from a range of businesses and campaign groups, who say it is needed to give investors confidence in the government's commitment to supporting low-carbon power after 2020.
Greenpeace raised concerns the capacity mechanism amounted to a handout for new gas plants.
"There is a gaping hole in the Energy Bill in the shape of a 2030 decarbonisation target," said Greenpeace political director Joss Garman.
"Billions of pounds of investment rest on this target being made law.
"Without it, there is serious risk of an investment vacuum after 2020, and of jobs and money being lost to our economic rivals."
Nick Molho, head of energy policy at WWF-UK, said: "David Cameron must now put an end to months of government infighting which have badly damaged investment confidence in one of the UK's few sectors of economic growth.
"The ultimate test for the Bill will be through strong amendments on energy efficiency and a decarbonisation target that hold the government to their commitments.
"Consistent political messages are now more important than ever in boosting investor confidence."
A group of MPs led by Conservative Tim Yeo, chairman of the parliamentary Energy and Climate Change Committee, is considering tabling an amendment to introduce a 2030 target.
Even without the target, low-carbon industries welcomed the greater certainty the Bill provided them.
"The Bill provides much-needed investment certainty," said Keith Parker, chief executive of the Nuclear Industry Association.
"A major nuclear new build programme will lead to substantial industrial and employment benefits - including considerable opportunities for the UK nuclear supply chain and a boost for UK manufacturing and construction."
Jeff Chapman, chief executive of the Carbon Capture and Storage Associations, backing a technology in which carbon emissions from fossil fuel plants can be captured and permanently stored underground, said: "The publication of this Bill will give a good deal more confidence to those businesses that are developing the UK's first CCS projects and laying the foundation of a world-leading industry."
Maf Smith, deputy chief executive of RenewableUK, said: "This Bill is crucial in setting the investment framework for the next 20 years and ensuring that we can build on our current world lead in offshore wind and marine technologies, and guarantee clean domestic power and tens of thousands of green jobs."
Audrey Gallacher, director of energy at Consumer Focus, said householders would be most worried about how the Bill would increase bills, and the government must be clear about how it would control costs.
"Customers recognise that making our energy supply greener and more secure will come at a cost.
"But given the huge sums involved and the extra costs consumers will bear, people need guarantees that they are getting value for money."
She suggested the costs of new generation and network improvements could be spread over a longer period to provide a fairer solution for consumers.
She added: "Demand and energy efficiency measures must also be a cornerstone of energy policy to counter rising energy prices for customers.
"The government's commitment to reduce energy demand through incentives for consumers and businesses is welcome.
"But it will come at a cost - which again will be passed on to customers. We look forward to working with the government on the detail for these measures to help ensure they offer value for money."
The Royal Academy of Engineering welcomed the Bill, saying there was an urgent need for clarity and stability in the UK's energy policy to enable companies to invest with confidence in new generation technology.
The Academy said it looked forward to helping the government develop a truly integrated energy policy that brings together electricity transport, heat, and the power of a future smart grid to solve the "trilemma" of energy security, affordability and sustainability.
"Energy is at the heart of society and underpins economic growth," said Sir John Parker GBE FREng, president of the Royal Academy of Engineering.
"Without a secure and affordable supply of energy for the long term, our industries will not be globally competitive.
"The UK stands at a crossroads; we need massive investment in our energy system over the coming years to replace aging infrastructure and create a modern, clean secure energy system."
Dr Tim Fox, head of Energy and Environment at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers said: "The publication of this new bill is good news for engineers, investors and the general public as it means we are a significant step closer to getting on with the job of building the major infrastructure projects needed to keep our homes warm, the lights on and industry working.
"With a looming energy gap for 2015, creating a stable regulatory framework for the energy sector is absolutely crucial for investor confidence and we look forward to the announcement next year on the details of the incentives, without further delays.
"The fact that energy intensive industries will be exempt from the additional costs to encourage investment in low carbon power is also positive, as it means UK industry won't be placed at an unfair disadvantage when competing in international markets selling products such as steel."
Alistair Smith, chair of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers' Power Division added: "Athough the majority of measures being announced today are positive, and should enable us to meet our 2020 EU renewables obligation, the lack of an emissions target for 2030 leads to longer term uncertainty on clean energy investments.
"In the absence of this clear target we will likely see a 'dash for (unabated) gas' and it effectively removes any legislative incentive to develop Carbon and Capture and Storage technology for gas-fired power stations in the medium-term.
"What is clear is that whatever technologies the UK ends up relying on to meet energy demand, energy prices are set to rise.
"The UK has enjoyed 20 years of cheap energy which has lead to complacent energy use.
"People must adjust to the fact that if they want to keep energy costs down they must adjust their behaviour."

Today (THU) is Tax Freedom Day – the day that Americans will have earned enough money to pay this year's tax obligations at the federal, state, and local levels. Both higher federal taxes and rebounding incomes contribute to this year's date, which is five days later than in 2012. But if you factor in the federal budget deficit, in order to pay for all spending in the current year, the government would need to raise an additional $833-billion in taxes, pushing Tax Freedom Day to May 9th. Historically, the date for Tax Freedom Day has fluctuated significantly. The latest-ever nationwide Tax Freedom Day was May 1st, 2000 – meaning that Americans paid one-third of their total income in taxes that year. A century earlier, in 1900, Americans paid only 5.9% of their income in taxes, meaning Tax Freedom Day came on January 22nd.

lynx gameday
7 P.M. VS. new york • target center • no tv, 106.1-fm
Lynx update: Maya Moore is tearing up the WNBA, with three consecutive 30-point games. Trouble is, the shorthanded Lynx (3-0) need every one of her points. They have won in overtime over Connecticut and by one point over Tulsa in their past two games. Against the Shock they shot over 50 percent for the first time. The starters all played more than 30 minutes, too — Moore a team high 34:22 — so there could be some tired legs going against the Liberty.
Liberty update: Coach Bill Laimbeer is rebuilding in New York. The Liberty (1-1) traded for 6-4 center Tina Charles, the 2012 MVP for Connecticut, in the offseason to anchor the middle. She is averaging 12 points and 10.5 rebounds. New York still has dynamic guard Cappie Pondexter, averaging a team-high 15.5 points per game. The Liberty routed the Sun 75-54 on the road in its season opener but lost last Saturday to Chicago at home when it shot 36.2 percent — Pondexter went 3-for-16 — and committed 17 turnovers.

If you are looking for hot fun in the summertime or maybe a cure for the summertime blues, the Annapolis area is entering the season of outdoor festivals, many of them benefiting good causes.
OK, some happen before summer officially arrives. But there is something to be said for soaking up good music and libations in milder weather, too.
Whether it is the big daddy of local festivals — the two-day Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival at Sandy Point on May 21-22 — next weekend's barBAYq Festival, annual Eastport-a-Rockin' splash on June 18 or the Annapolis Irish Festival coming July 15-16 there is a party to be found for most any taste, and age too.
Several events...

September 21, 2015
Arun Kumar , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: Homegrown, midmarket investment bank Avendus Capital — the hottest deal shop for all things technology and consumer internet — is set to close yet another headline transaction. But this one will be for itself. Bulge-bracket US private equity group KKR is set to acquire a majority stake in the 15-year-old advisory, asset and wealth management firm in a unique deal that aims to create a full-service "new generation" financial service platform leveraging Avendus' strong, existing tech-centric niche, multiple sources familiar with the development told ET. The proposed deal — a combination of new shares and exits — will be worth around $100 million and the founders will continue to remain at the helm, one of the sources said.

"On KKR, we have been in dialogue. It has come to a very formal stage now. Any such involvement needs (approval of) their shareholders, other stakeholders and FIPB ( Foreign Investment Promotion Board )," IARC Managing Director and Chief Executive Birendra Kumar told reporters here.

In a chat with ET Now, Deepak Shenoy , Founder, Capital Mind, shares his view on Jubilant FoodWorks. ET Now: Will you prefer to buy Amtek Auto on dips? I am sure you would not subscribe to that view. Would you consider KKR still invested in that company? Would that make for a buy at all? Deepak Shenoy: No way. I would not really venture into the stock just because KKR has invested or a person named 'Jhunjhunwala' has invested. We saw that with another stock.

MUMBAI: Kolkata-based Magma Fincorp has shut the door on firsttime borrowers, saying it will lend only to customers with an established deployment record.

If this column were some sort of blog, and I had to add tags to all my posts, I'd really only need five or six: porn, crazy politics, animated GIF, embedded audio, bad art, conspiracy theories. Every so often, I get a site that falls into a bunch of those categories, like marcrubin.com. Here, you can find plenty of really, really bad artwork, including a gigantic 9/11 painting that linker "Jamie" assures me is pretty fucking similar to the end of the first Harry Potter book.
Marc Rubin also skews pretty far to the right. He hates Muslims, liberals, and apparently my ears because holy fuck there's embedded audio everywhere. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to believe in conspiracies, so while some of his pages look like schizophrenic ramblings (multicolored fonts, fire GIFs everywhere), they're actually just badly designed musings on art. Incidentally, the guy is a fairly accomplished artist (at least in terms of the amount he has produced), which is why I cannot understand why he thinks any of these color schemes are appropriate for anything.
There's one thing Marc has that a lot of the sites I look at here don't have, and that's Flash. Everywhere. I don't mean stupid little Flash menus and stuff, though, rest assured, those are there, too. I mean dude has fucking Flash movies. Like all over the place. The most notable is the "Not So Grimm Tale of Hairmerica," which apparently was well-loved by the people over at breitbart.com. Whether that's a worse indictment of their politics or their taste, I'll leave to the reader to decide, because I seriously couldn't sit through more than two minutes of the (I swear to God) EIGHTEEN-MINUTE- LONG MOVIE.
I should also say this - I don't think I've ever before seen animated GIFs in a Flash movie, but it's an almost hypnotic thing to try to keep track of all the different animations going at once. Keep an eye out for the friendly sliding bear!

Keeping his family in the lifestyle they had become accustomed to has landed Twizel man Peter Blacklaws in prison.
Blacklaws, 59, appeared in the Timaru District Court yesterday for sentence on seven charges of theft by a person in a special relationship. The amounts involved totalled $221,262.79.
The former accountant, member of the Masonic Lodge and a former PTA member at St Margarets College, Christchurch, Blacklaws had previously pleaded guilty to the charges.
He was sentenced by Judge Joanna Maze to 27 months' imprisonment.
Reparation was ordered for two of the lesser charges - $7225 and $4817.31.
Those funds were appropriated from a former client and by submitting false documents.
Blacklaws stole the funds out of his need to keep his family in the manner they had become accustomed to and he had lost face with the community and his family due to the offending, Judge Maze said.
Blacklaws, who was working in Christchurch at the time of the offending, appeared "extraordinarily remorseful" and his actions seemed to have stemmed from "need, not greed". He faced financial hardships, especially after the Christchurch earthquakes, and he could not be expected to pay the entire sum, she said.
"I will decline to order reparation because there is no prospect of it being paid."
The names of the victims and the firm he was working for at the time of the offending were suppressed.

Bio and Links
I am a volunteer photographer for Find-A-Grave. Feel free to copy my photos (unedited and uncropped, please) for use on other websites like Ancestry.com. All I ask is that you attach the following credit so others know the original source and can contact me if needed:
© by MixedStock at Find-A-Grave. Photo used by permission.
I manage many memorials outside of my family and am happy to transfer per the rules or make changes and corrections. Please send your source along with corrections. I've had people submit corrections on my own relatives that I knew for a fact was wrong. So please, supply your sources. As the saying goes, if you don't have a source it is "mythology," not "genealogy!"
I also do not add missing birth dates to memorials by subtracting the age of a person given on a stone (e.g., 72 yrs., 6 mos. & 14 ds) from the year of death that is engraved on the stone. My own research has confirmed that frequently the given death year or the person's age on the stone is wrong, and, therefore, the calculated birthdate will also be wrong. So if the stone does not give a birth date or year, I don't add one without corroborating documentation that references the actual birth date. Yep. It's a pet peeve.
As for my personal genealogy research, I am just traveling this very interesting road and uncovering the roots of ancestors who left few records in their wake. If I can help someone make that connection I am happy to do so!

Hi - Don't worry about the extra photo. I started to claim some in Forest Hill and then realized it was still a little early in the year for photos I like to take (outside of the daffodils at some of the sites). I will email you the 1870 Fed census with Flora's name along with a familysearch document for her death (sort of). There is also supporting documentation that Alexander Winchell was in Germany at the time. Some of this information comes from Donna Coleman who has left memorial flowers on the various Winchell memorials.

Du Preezs fulfilling rugby destinies
The three Du Preez brothers, and their Springbok father, are on the cover of the new SA Rugby magazine.
Boks need balance
The Springboks must evolve their game over time under Allister Coetzee, but it's South Africa's traditional strengths that will be integral to ensuring the June Test series against Ireland is a success, writes CRAIG LEWIS.
What we've learned
Five lessons from the 10th round of Super Rugby, according to CRAIG LEWIS.
