Apparently scouring the Commonwealth Wasteland of the New England area resonates with those from the original England. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts held its 12th annual BAFTA Games Awards today and Bethesda's Fallout 4 came up the big winner. It took home the mantle of best game.

Bethesda's no stranger to winning the BAFTA Games Awards' grandest prize. Three years ago, Dishonored won for best game. In the years since, The Last of Us and Destiny were the winners of that prestigious category.

As far as sheer volume goes, there were other impressive performances at the BAFTA Games Awards. Rocket League, Her Story, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture each won three accolades. Also, Bloodborne was the recipient of best game design, an area that seems particularly important.

Below are the winners of all of the main categories:

'Ello 'ello 'ello. I'm an here in sunny San Francisco (as I am most of the time, on account of living here) with Brett Makedonski and Zack Furniss in tow for the 30th annual Game Developers Conference. I can't believe we've been covering this show for 30 years, because it's not true; Destructoid has "only" been around for ten gosh darn years as of this month.

We'll have a lot for you coming out the show this week as GDC joins the wrong side of 30. It is stuffed to the brim with VR as if you're not sick enough of it (or recoiled in fear at all the $500-$800 price tags). There are various talks and panels on a variety of things (like Mrs. Pacman or "Practical DirectX 12 - Programming Model and Hardware Capabilities"). The Game Developer's Choice Awards and Independent Game Festival are on Wednesday night if you're into prestige. Maybe we'll stumble home tipsy and find more Gabe Newell-related vandalism again.

And of course there will be a load of run of the mill video games, both hotly anticipated and undiscovered, that we plan on writing about throughout the course of the week for all of you, our online pals.

The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has confirmed today that Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro will be keynote speakers at the 2016 D.I.C.E. Summit. It'll take place on Tuesday, on February 16 (the event will run until February 18 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas). They will apparently offer insight into their "creative vision and artistic pursuits" at the keynote. Kojima will also be inducted into the Academy's Hall of Fame at that time.

With as much as these two have been screwed by studios, it's nice to see them together as friends on a stage. In other news, del Toro's Crimson Peak is seeing a home release this month, and I hope people give it a second chance after it was mismarketed as a horror film.

"Our company is a Pachinko Slot maker, but we're also video game developers. We'd like to work hard to make video game fans into Pachinko Slot fans," said a SNK Playmore rep at a Beast Busters Pachinko slot press conference recently.

SNK Playmore, was acquired by a Chinese company in the not so distant past, and people have been wondering what will become of their IPs. While it currently looks like SNK are going the Konami route and making Pachinko machines, at least they reminded us they haven't forgotten their roots.

We previously anticipated some Garrison Hearst Kingdom Hearts 3 news in November courtesy of Kingdom Hearts at the D23n event in Japan, but the Disney/Square crossover will be at Disney's American D23 Expo next month with "new information," and "special guests and surprises."

The D23 Expo takes place August 14-16 in Anaheim, California, a few months ahead of Japan's November event at Tokyo Disney, which would be cool to go to. There's a presentation on Sunday, August 16, which features, "never-before-seen gameplay, trailers, new reveals and surprises."

Star Wars Battlefront will be there and playable as well if you missed the recent alpha test. And then a bunch of Disney Infinity stuff, plus mobile games and Star Wars: Battle Pod.

Since that massive wave of info about Fallout 4 back at E3, I've counting the days till its November release. I'm a big fan of the series, and seeing its debut on the current gen was incredibly satisfying. Unfortunately, Bethesda Game Studios has still been tight-lipped about the more intricate aspects of the game, but the developer is seeking to remedy that at QuakeCon 2015 later this month.

During the popular Dallas convention, Besthesda will show off live gameplay footage for fans behind closed doors. Sadly, it won't be shown to the public and will only be seen by QuakeCon attendees. Also, just like previous special showings at the convention, recording and photography of the live demo will be prohibited, as the developers hate seeing bootleg footage of their games online. Which is understandable. Back in 2011, Todd Howard hosted a live demo of Skyrim before its release and footage found its way online thanks to a ballsy fan.

Hey, do you like indie games? Are you in or around London on May 14? Do you fancy hearing talks from the likes of Paul-Kilduff-Taylor from Mode7 (Frozen Cortex) and playing a bunch of indie games? How about swapping assets with developers or playing some tabletop games? JoyJam might be what you're looking for.

The event, happening at The Royal Exchange in London on May 14, is completely free to attend. You'll just have to register on their EventBrite page to get in.

Do you like indie games? What about beautiful hand-sculpted architecture? What about the thought of the two combined? Yes, such a wondrous combination of things is possible, particularly if you're going to be in or around Vienna in early July.

Radius Festival, which took place in London during the summer of both 2013 and 2014, brings together a selection of indie developers from broad backgrounds to create a free to attend public showcase of accessible indie games. Last year's London based event saw games from Rami Ismail and Mike Bithell right down to brand new indies showcasing their first games.

During the evenings of the event interviews with indie developers will be streamed online, live from the venue. When asked about the lack of a London Radius event this year, Radius organiser Georg Backer told us he'd still love to see it happen, but cost has been a factor.

"We really would love to make Radius London also happen this year. We tried to get it of the ground so far but unfortunately due to a mix of unforeseen circumstances and difficulty of securing an affordable central London location, we haven't been able to yet. For us a central location is key because we want to make it as easy as possible for people to attend with the hope of also attracting random public foot-traffic and tourists. We also want to encourage people who might normally not go to video games exhibitions (because they are big affairs and often further away from the centre) to drop by and checkout a wide diversity of games and meet the developers -- it's bringing games to the people."

"When the Vienna location was offered to us, we were very excited as it's an amazing opportunity: central in the heart of Vienna, lots of foot traffic and tourists, surrounded by Museums and a large public space... perfect!"

This year's event is taking place at Vienna's Ovalhalle museum from 9 July until 12 July. Submissions are still open for games to appear at the event so if you want to get a spot to show your game off then tell them all about it. Developers will have to sort their own travel and accommodation, but space at the event is free.

The Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo is one of Canada's biggest gaming, film, television, gaming, comics and "geek culture" events, drawing celebrities, panelists, and events from all over the world. This year, it was also host to the Honey Badger Brigade, a group of started by three women who originally "...came together because of a mutual interest in men's issues" including "...suicide, homelessness, veteran health, child custody, male victims of rape and domestic abuse, and rape allegations" They are also the creators of Honey Badger Radio and the "World's Cutest Rape Joke" t-shirt.

The Honey Badger Brigade was apparently asked to leave the Calgary expo shortly after the show kicked off. There are varying reports as to why this happened, though many feel it had something to do with the fact that their booth was adorned with some GamerGate posters. Personally, I'm just surprised that GamerGate posters exist. It's been really interesting to see GamerGate take on the form of a formless grouping of individuals with vaguely-but-not-really-similar goals and ideals, while the Watergate scandal still has no grouping and/or posters to speak of. Weird how the dawn of the internet changed the way we react to these sorts of things.

You'll find official comment on the situation from the Calgary Expo and Alison from the Honey Badger Brigade below.

When I think of the D.I.C.E. Awards, I'll remember montage guy, now and forever.

I wasn't around to see if any similar unscripted hilarity took place at this year's show, but I did catch that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor took home eight awards before losing out to Dragon Age: Inquisition for game of the year, and Destiny was lauded as the best action title of 2014. Huh.

[Note: The Badger could be anyone -- a game developer, a member of the gaming press, even a writer for another game blog. They could be just one person or multiple people. You'll probably never find out who they really are, which is part of the fun.]

Watching people on the internet hunting for "unethical videogame journalism" is like watching a gas-poisoned family poke around their house, desperately in search of the source of the fumes. Oh, and did I mention that every member of the family is blind? Because apparently they are. How else could they miss the giant pipe coming from the kitchen wall that says "POISON GAS THAT MAKES YOU STUPID THEN KILLS YOU" written in sparkling bling on the side?

Maybe they aren't blind. Maybe it's worse than that, because they do talk about the pipe in passing now and again. They just don't do anything about it. They act like it's just an inevitable part of life. Instead, they point their fingers at the cat and the dog for #colluding on the creation of collective pet farts that are definitely the source of the poisonous gas. Definitely.

Watching this go down is kind of like being the host of the Price is Right where the contestant has an open headwound and the prize they're trying to win is some gauze and skin glue. You want to help, but you really can't. You want to laugh, but you also want to cry. Instead, you just watch with a shit-eating grin, waiting to see if they win the bandages, die from their injuries, or just stand there with blood pouring down their face.

I'm just some anonymous fuckface, and it's going to stay that way. What I have to say isn't going to change anything. Still, Destructoid has given me a platform to try to whisper a few tips into the ear of the blood-drenched, probably brain-injured Price is Right contestant that we call "gamer culture," so here we go. Here is where unethical gaming journalism really comes from.

The roster for this year's Evolution Championship Series has been announced.

EVO 2015, the largest fighting game tournament in the world, will feature: Ultra Street Fighter IV, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat X, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Tekken 7.

That's a nice collection of games, but there's a disappointing dearth of BlazBlue after last year's legendary grand final. Oh well, there's still plenty of Arc System Works goodness to go around.

EVO 2015 is scheduled to take place July 17-19 at the Bally's / Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.

The list of new Nintendo independent games to be shown at IndieCade that we received this morning? Great. Great news. But I'm more hung up on the title of the press email that Nintendo sent out:

Nintendo Showcases Prolific "Nindies" and New Games at IndieCade

Ha! I love it. No shame. Own that, Nintendo. Like this:

"Nintendo has always supported creativity and innovation in video games," said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America's vice president of Licensing. "These Nindie developers are currently making some of the most exciting and imaginative games out there, and Nintendo is pleased to offer them multiple platforms to bring their creative ideas to life."

IndieCade kicks off this week in Culver City, California, and Nintendo is bringing a ton of independent games for Wii U and 3DS to show off there. Nindies -- Nintendo independent developers -- will be in attendance to share their games and experiences with event goers.

The show will be a first hands-on opportunity for many of the titles (listed below). Our own Jonathan Holmes has played Sportsball already, saying that it is pretty great. "Like four player Joust but with balls," he said.

Aside from this showing, Nintendo will also host a Nindie dev panel on Saturday called "Nintendo Do's and Don'ts: A Developer-Focused Conversation." They'll also participate in IndieCade Night Games with multiplayer tournaments for some of the new titles, including Sportsball.

We don't attend videogame trade shows for their "PR impact," but it is interesting to hear that gamescom is gaining on E3 as far as that measurement is concerned. Analytics company ICO Partners says that the European event is catching up to E3, though it still has a bit to go before being bigger than gaming's premiere show.

The analysis involved tracking media output for each event. For example, more than 16,000 pieces on the PS4 were published at E3 this year. gamescom isn't quite there, but did come up with a respectable 10,929 pieces on PS4. It's also interesting to note that Nintendo didn't fare as well at gamescom. That could have something to do with the absence of a press conference for the event.

GamesIndustry has some interesting charts that track other event measures, like the number of stories per day, or the total count of articles on popular games.

It may be catching up by these measures, but I think gamescom still has an uphill climb to be anything like E3.

Some events are better than others. It's an objective, measurable fact. What unit of measure can you apply to an event to quantify its level of quality? Simple -- add the amount of Jake "Virt" Kaufman to the total of Corey "Reyyy" Lewis, multiply by videogames, and divide by jerks. Seeing as this years Fangamer <3 Attract Mode event has sum of zero jerks, and a mean of almost a gazillion of those other things, you can be that it will be one heck of a time.

For those unfamiliar with this yearly collaboration, Fangamer <3 Attract Mode is an art, music and videogames celebration run by (you guessed it) Fangamer and Attract Mode. All the original art on site will be available for sale, with new works by Ashley Davis, Mariel Cartwright, Zac Gorman, Kelly Smith, the aforementioned Reyyy (who did the Samus <3 Lara piece above, based on Scott's lame poster), and many more. Musical acts set to perform include the Super Soul Bros, Mega Ran, and that lovable Kaufman. As for games, we've got Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime and the Fangamer <3 Attract Mode exclusive showings of Particle Mace and Vanguard V. If you like alcohol, then you're in luck. The Drunken Moogle is on bar. Even if you don't drink, I bet he'll be happy to mix up something virgin for you.

You have until next Saturday (August 30th) to prepare. For more on the event, check out the official site and/or RSVP on Facebook.

It's looking like gamescom 2014 will be a pretty exciting show. With many of the big hitters set to unveil their new products, we've certainly got a lot to look forward to next month. Now, we've got another publisher ready to pull out all the stops and showcase some of its finest stuff. Metal Gear Solid fans have been chomping at the bit for some new info, and Konami and Kojima Productions are ready to deliver via livestream.

The publisher will stream a new gameplay demo at gamescom featuring brand new content from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Broadcasting from Cologne's Musical Dome on August 13, Geoff Keighley will host the live event. During this hour-long session, we'll get a glimpse of brand new gameplay, areas, and features that were previously hinted at in the past. Following the live demo, there will be a Q&A session with Kojima from fans and press alike.

It's been an exciting time to be a MGS fan as of late. With the release of Ground Zeroes, the new Phantom Pain E3 trailer, and months of debate about certain features in the game, fans have been keeping themselves busy while waiting for some new details. And now we're set to get a nice dose of information from the creator himself. With the long-rumored release date still floating around, and the multiplayer mode developed by Kojima Productions' L.A. branch still kept under wraps, now seems like a great time to start showing off the goods.

What do you think Kojima has in store for The Phantom Pain at next month's gamescom?

It looks like things have finally come to a head at Crytek. The troubled publisher and developer behind Ryse, Crysis, and the upcoming Homefront: The Revolution has taken major steps to secure its own future. Crytek has sold Deep Silver and Koch Media the rights to the Homefront franchise and all current assets for The Revolution. Despite the change in ownership, the team at Crytek UK will continue work as Deep Silver's Dambuster Studios.

"We are thrilled to see another great IP joining the Deep Silver universe," said Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Koch Media Group. "We strongly believe in the potential of Homefront: The Revolution and trust in the new team to continue the path they have been walking in the last years."

Back in 2011, Crytek's UK branch began work on the sequel to the first game after its original developer was shut down. However, after the collapse of THQ, Crytek promptly purchased the IP and found a new publisher in Deep Silver. We finally got to see the fruits of its labor at this past E3, and our own Brett Makedonski was reasonably impressed with what he saw.

But unfortunately things weren't meant to be, and all sorts of drama began to show itself coming out of Crytek. Even though the company looked to have had a competent, and even enjoyable game on its hands, it just wasn't in a position to make it work for the long haul. Perhaps Deep Silver stepping up to the plate was exactly what this franchise needed?

What do you think, readers? Are you optimistic for the Homefront IP after the change of hands?

Sony's gamescom press conference will take place on Tuesday, August 12 at 7:00 p.m., says Videogamer.

There's no indication of what to expect at their media event, but my experience is that they always bring plenty of announcements for the show. Last year, a pile of indie games, a Vita price drop, a PS4 Europe launch date, and several other news bits came with their presser.

Destructoid will be at gamescom this year to play the new games, smell the odors, see the sights, and drink German beer.

Amid recent reports of unpaid employees and mismanagement at Crytek, we are now seeing clear signs of trouble within the development studio. The UK branch of Crytek, which is actively working on Homefront: The Revolution, has apparently aired grievances with management and refused to continue working.

Kotaku has received several anonymous tips from staffers detailing how the employees have gone over a month without pay while pressure on the upcoming Homefront title has increased. One source claims that over 100 staff members have left the offices.

According to these sources, publisher Deep Silver and Crytek management are currently discussing their next move. Much of Crytek UK is made up of former staffers from Free Radical, the creators of TimeSplitters, Haze, and Second Sight, which was purchased and re-branded by Crytek in 2009.

It's certainly troubling to see the situation at Crytek UK, especially considering the turmoil these particular devs have gone through in their history. With that said, they've still managed to make the upcoming Homefront title into something pretty cool.

If you're itching to play a lot of recent high profile Nintendo portable games, you'll want to catch the Nintendo Play Tour, which may be coming to your local area. The games available are Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Yoshi's New Island, Pokemon X/Y, A Link Between Worlds, Super Mario 3D Land, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and Mario Kart 7.

A lot of these games are pretty old, but it's a perfect chance to give the 2DS/3DS a go if you haven't picked one up yet -- plus, there are banana shaped seats, Yoshi Egg chairs, and costumed characters. Oh, and if you have kids, Radio Disney will be there. Check below for all the applicable dates.

Yesterday's reveal of The Legend of Zelda on Wii U got many people excited. With the tease of a new visual style and a more open world to explore, there was yet another reason for people to consider purchasing a Wii U. However, during a private roundtable interview with the press, series producer Eiji Aonuma hinted that the main character we saw in the trailer may be more different than we realize.

Speaking to VentureBeat, Aonuma gave a clue about the possibility of the main character being different. Asked about Link's new appearance, he said "No one explicitly said that that was Link" with a smile and a laugh.

After re-watching the trailer, Nintendo certainly made a big deal about how it revealed this specific character. After the character removed their cloak, the music swelled and the camera zoomed in on their face. However, it seems most people assumed it was just Link.

With that said, it seems like a fine time to switch things up for the series. Over the years, there's been an increasing number of Zelda fans desiring a change of pace and main character for the series. And with the promise of an open world to explore and more choice on how you do so, giving players a brand new look will be a great way to signal change.

During the Sony E3 press conference, we got the chance to check out Suda51's new free-to-play survival horror title Let it Die. As Grasshopper Manufacture's first F2P title, it seemed to be a bit of a departure for them. However, it's got a lot more to do with their past work than you might think. During an interview with the Famitsu, game designer Suda51 revealed that Let it Die was born from the work they did on the now-cancelled Lily Bergamo.

"As it turns out, Let it Die is essentially the same game as the previously revealed Lily Bergamo that was shown off last fall, retaining the original idea of what the team is calling an 'extreme action game' coupled with asynchronous online gameplay while expanding on them with survival aspects," reports Gematsu. "The transition to the game in its current form commenced around the end of last year as a result of the previously mentioned creative soul searching that Suda and company underwent."

For those not familiar with the former title, Lily Bergamo was an action title in the vein on No More Heroes and Killer is Dead with asynchronous online elements. Interestingly enough, the titular character no longer exists, as the change in focus and tone made including her impossible. While Let it Die looks very intriguing, and I'm sure it'll be a fun game in its own right, I am a bit disappointed that Lily Bergamo is no more. That debut trailer was exciting, and one thing that Suda51 is good at is showing off his game in style.

Are you bummed out about Lily Bergamo being turned into an online survival horror title?

E3 2014 begins next week. Destructoid has its bags packed, ready to attack the press conferences and show floor. This year should bring us what we really wanted last year: games for our next-gen consoles. Sony and Microsoft have had time to work up some new things for us since their respective console launches, and Nintendo is running at full steam for its systems. Some of big third-party publishers have had enough time to finally show off what they've been working on.

And this is not counting all of the PC games, indie games, portable offerings, VR dueling (Oculus vs. Project Morpheus), and other new announcements coming. It should be good.

But we hope E3 2014 isn't a huge tease. While we're sure to get some new games for fall 2014, who's to say that the rest of them won't be hanging back to 2015? With all of the recently delayed titles that were supposed to launch this year moving to next, anything is possible.

If nothing else, we'll at least get some exciting software announcements next week. You were heard last year, gamers -- loud and clear. The big three know for sure that you don't want to hear about hardware and entertainment features during your press conferences. It's going to be all about games. Lots of games.

Our guide will set you up for Destructoid's E3 Unfiltered coverage next week. First, we'll lay out what you should know to catch you up. Then we'll list out times for press conferences and other events. Finally, we'll run down the list of top companies and tell you what you should expect.

Over the years, the big press conferences at E3 have evolved from the long and boring business presentations to the large crowd-pleasers (or disasters) that we see today. More and more, the folks running these events are upping the ante to see who can win over the audience. Now, with more eyes on the publishers than ever before, Sony is taking things to a whole new level by bringing the experience of E3 to theaters.

In an unprecedented move, Sony has announced plans to broadcast its E3 press conference in over 40 theaters across the US. In addition to the live cast, audience goers will also see a post-show hosted by Geoff Keighley, featuring interviews with Sony developers and exclusive video of upcoming titles. Lastly, people in attendance will also go home with a surprise.

Again, this is for US audiences only, so international fans will likely have to stick with livestreams at home. Tickets for this event are free, so if there's a showing in your area, and if you're curious to see the spectacle on the big screen, then by all means sign up.

What do you think about this, fans? Is this something you'd be interested in going to?

|Written by Marc Heinzman
|Friday, 20 July 2012 13:26
Coal Valley, IL – July 18, 2012 – Niabi Zoo announced today that it will be holding its annual Elephants' Birthday Bash on Saturday, July 21.
The event, which kicks off at noon at the Zoo, is a joint celebration for the birthdays of Niabi Zoo's biggest stars, Asian elephants Babe and Sophie. The elephants, who turn 37 and 43 respectively, will have a custom cake presented to them by Niabi Zoo's zookeepers.
Guests who attend the Birthday Bash will have a chance to enjoy their own slice of birthday cake in order to properly celebrate with Babe and Sophie. The event will also feature several fun inflatable activities, such as a bounce house and obstacle course for children to enjoy. A silent auction will also be held, which will give event guests the chance to buy elephants paintings created that day by Babe herself during a public demonstration.
Additionally, local children's author Blake Ross will be on-hand from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm to sign copies of his new book "Why Isn't the Zoo a Pet Store, Too?" for anyone who purchases it that day. The book features a forward written by Niabi Zoo Director Marc Heinzman, and a portion of the proceeds from each book sold benefit Niabi Zoo.
Niabi Zoo will be open from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm.

AirPort Extreme A1521 Teardown https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/Y25JPISqPgnP2bSP Miroslav Djuric No estimate Moderate AirPort Extreme A1521
When Apple goes to the extreme, we do too. What exactly does it take to be extreme? Whatever it may be, challenge accepted. Join us to find out just what awaits in the new high-rise AirPort Extreme.

Want even more extreme? Follow us in the tubular Twitter-sphere or find us on our fly Facebook page.

If you're curious about the Apple Time Capsule instead of the Extreme, check out the Time Capsule teardown instead.
 2013-08-06T10:24:36-07:00 We snapped up this 2013 rendition of the AirPort Extreme, which was announced at WWDC just one day prior to its release. Spoiler alert: it's TALL. The winner of this year's "tallest wireless router that is white, roughly rectangular, and has an Apple logo on top" award also boasts: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Beamforming antenna array Simultaneous dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Gigabit Ethernet WAN port Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports USB 2.0 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/nRbwks5lY5hFtXeA https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/jpEX5JsVgoZXZMQo First to go are the protective stickers. What's behind sticker number one? Ports, lots'o'ports. What's behind sticker number two? The way in.... https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/hJGuAjNGMB4bP3Lm https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/jaMnDkfRJpNRwMV2 Alright! Enough lollygagging! Let's get inside this white brick of wonder. Our method of entry involves using a metal spudger to release the retaining clips holding the black base of the device. Base aside, our first glimpse is what appears to be a heat sink… But it's not. <Suspense> Before we cast the base to the darkest depths, it has one final message for us: a new model number. This year's AirPort Extreme sports the model number A1521. Neat. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/mfkdOON4imZZuErJ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/HSUNrHSr6ikeflfN https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ZVhMOxWOaAt2fAoA Just like an earlier advancement in Mac Mini technology, this new device's power supply moves inside, contributing to its extreme stature. We begin to free the internals with a flick of the spudger and a twist of the Torx screwdriver. The non-proprietary T8 Torx screws come out with ease. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/KayIL2Kv6I2OUQAW https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/SUHgXaC4DJLaYnWG We free the top cover, only to find…3.5" of empty space. While the AirPort Extreme doesn't come equipped with storage, we dug up a standard 3.5" SATA hard drive, just to test it out. Perfecto! This could potentially be good news to DIYers who want to turn their AirPort Extreme into a Time Capsule—except we can't find any connectors where we'd plug in the hard drive, only empty spaces on the logic board. But we'll keep our fingers crossed until we've had the chance to crack open a Time Capsule. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/yELURlvRCyuyGfoZ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/CSfZBATCVmFaFoDZ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/E3jXXBU56RO6pSpb We hate to see our tools collect dust, so we're happy to find that opening the AirPort Extreme requires busting out the flexible shaft extension from our 54 bit driver kit. Two spring-loaded, captive Torx T10 screws are the last fasteners clinging to the outer case, but not for long. Like a shucked corn cob, the innards of the AirPort Extreme escape their white plastic prison and are borne from captivity. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/TOXG13cI1DHjIZcK https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/GGD5tCcdrexFFv1t Using the latest in turn-table technology, we bring you the full 360º of the Extreme's internals. Looking for your own turn-table technology solutions? Look no further. For those of you who just can't wait to get the latest Apple product made up of vertical circuit boards surrounding a big empty space, the AIrPort Extreme is the best available for now. https://ifixit-guide-objects.s3.amazonaws.com/igo/video/ifixit/jo5QcK2AJ46sjoFa_MP4_720.mp4 https://ifixit-guide-objects.s3.amazonaws.com/igo/video/ifixit/jo5QcK2AJ46sjoFa_MP4_592.mp4 https://ifixit-guide-objects.s3.amazonaws.com/igo/video/ifixit/jo5QcK2AJ46sjoFa_WEBM.webm https://ifixit-guide-objects.s3.amazonaws.com/igo/video/ifixit/jo5QcK2AJ46sjoFa_OGG.ogg https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/GTLOXjfwJFQoAIiG Video is great and all, but let's break it down. Port side  Starboard  Slot side Fan side https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/6XPIrNkVn1HgoEoi https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/nWxVIjQ3fvAq6bki https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/pyn5sOFDOOow2m1g Next on our path of deconstruction, we work on the shiny plate that caps the innards of the Extreme, and just happens to be the new-and-improved antenna array. The six antenna cables run under the apparent hard drive slot, up the center of the device, and into a big plate at the top, which functions as the antenna. The updated 802.11ac Wi-Fi is designed to have multi-station WLAN throughput of at least 1 gigabit per second and a single link throughput of at least 500 megabits per second (500 Mbit/s). Compared to 802.11n, 802.11ac has up to four times the RF bandwidth (up to 160 MHz), twice the MIMO spatial streams (up to 8), and four times the modulation (up to 256 QAM). https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/hUjlbvRWjoqQLDy6 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/QXYMbOHg2M3eENXJ A slew of T8 Torx screws secure the heat sinks to the logic board, and the logic board to the possible hard drive slot. With the screws out of the way, the layers slide right apart. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/cHQad2QAsqbhF5MO https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ronR5JDob1DgyCrj We finally get a closer look at the logic board. We find: Broadcom BCM53019 router SOC with gigabit switch Broadcom BCM4360KLMG, the same IC we found in yesterday's MacBook Air Teardown Hynix H5TC4G63AFR 4 Gb (512 MB) synchronous DDR3 SDRAM Micron 25Q256A 32 MB serial flash Skyworks 5003L1 5GHz WLAN power amplifier Skyworks 2623L 2.4GHz WLAN power amplifier TDK TLA-7T201HF (which appears to be a pulse transformer) https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/qnDPsOrUojIFDrid https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/SipVaYFVKkYThcxm Fans-away! Our trusty Torx screwdriver tackles the two screws holding the fan in place. The DC brushless fan is labeled BSB0712HC-HM01 and is made by Delta Electronics. We quickly blow off the fan in favor of peeking under the metal casing. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/LuphnViKw3wKNBkI https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/BpnbqwoDqkoXAtjo https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/lrlDmBV3YHVheNcb We've got the power…supply. From the looks of it, it is a fairly standard 12 V, 5 A power supply with your standard large capacitors and coils. Whatever you do, don't lick your fingers and then touch the large black cylinder. You may be shocked to discover what 400 V can do. Like the fan, this unit is made by Delta Electronics. They have named it ADP-60DFS, so as not to be confused with other, less-powerful power supplies. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/5iXMYVV3uXHjVYhZ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/HAdnTVpkktVgjXON AirPort Extreme A1521 Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair). No proprietary fastener funny business over here. The Extreme uses Torx screws throughout the structure to keep its act together. Disassembly is pretty straightforward, and modular components are used throughout. No glue (except for a small dab used for the status LED) is found inside. The opening procedure requires a bit of prying that may slightly damage the case if the user isn't careful. You'll have to disassemble a good portion of the device in order to clean the fan. Some of the connectors are super-small and can be prone to breaking. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/YgpZkgQM2MybEKHL https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/WViUlAFD6IPdKTUw 2013-06-11T14:10:01-07:00

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) attempted to bounce back
from a triple-digit loss yesterday, but the pressure proved to be
too much. The blue-chip barometer is pointed lower once again this
morning, with futures trading about 45 points below fair value as
traders grow anxious ahead of data on the health of the U.S.
economy in the second quarter. The Dow remains pinned between
support near 10,400 and resistance in the 10,600 region, though a
negative reaction to this morning's flood of economic data could
send the venerable average down for a test of support near 10,350.
Elsewhere, the S&P 500 Index (SPX) is headed for an opening
drop of about 6 points. Support for the broad-market index remains
near 1,095, while resistance is holding firm in the 1,115 region,
which is also home to the SPX's 200-day moving average. Should
1,095 fail as support, look for the SPX's decline to slow near
1,080. Finally, survey data from the
American Associate of Individual Investors
points toward the largest bullish percentage (40%) since mid-June,
while the bearish percentage (33.33%) rests near a one-month low.
This swing toward optimism could be a sign of short-term weakness
for Wall Street.
In earnings news, Merck & Co. Inc. (
) reported second-quarter earnings of 86 cents per share, excluding
items and one-time charges, as revenue jumped 92% to $11.35
billion. Wall Street was looking for a profit of 83 cents per share
and revenue of $11.45 billion. Merck said it expects adjusted 2010
earnings of $3.29 per share to $3.39 per share, which falls short
of the current consensus estimate for a fiscal 2010 profit of $3.37
per share.
Elsewhere, Coventry Health Care Inc. (
) reported second-quarter earnings of $1.10, excluding one-time
items and a $278 million litigation charge. Revenue for the quarter
fell 18% to $2.87 billion. Analysts were expecting earnings of 55
cents per share on revenue of $2.83 billion. For 2010, Coventry
sees earnings of $1.72 to $1.87 per share.
Finally, ITT Corp. (
) posted adjusted second-quarter earnings of $1.14 per share, on
revenue of $2.74 billion. Wall Street was looking for earnings of
$1.07 per share. ITT said it expects third-quarter adjusted
earnings to fall 6% from last year, in the range of 94 to 98 cents
per share, while revenue is seen rising 1% to $2.7 billion. For the
full year, the company sees adjusted earnings in a range of $4.08
to $4.18 per share.

Overseas Trading
Overseas trading looks terrible this morning, with none of the
10 foreign indexes that we track in positive territory. What's
more, the cumulative average return on the collective stands at a
loss of 0.73%. In Asia, Japanese stocks lead the retreat, with
exporters taking a large hit due to a strengthening yen and weak
employment numbers. Meanwhile, European shares are headed lower,
despite news that the unemployment rate across the euro-zone held
flat at 10% in June.
Currencies and Commodities
The U.S. Dollar Index appears to be rebounding from a multi-week
low in pre-market trading. The index bounced off short-term support
near 81.50 in Asian trading, and is attempting to repair some of
this week's damage. Heading into the open, the index is up 0.24% at
81.84. Gold futures, meanwhile, are marginally higher, adding about
$2.50 an ounce to trade at $1,173.70. The malleable metal is
currently off about 1.6% for the week. Finally, crude futures have
dropped 52 cents to trade at $77.84 per barrel in pre-market
activity. Crude prices continue to meet with resistance near the
$80-per-barrel mark.

Youth is cited by police after chase
BARRE Police say a 16-year-old has been issued a citation in connection with a police chase that ended in a crash in Barre Wednesday morning.
The individual, whose name has not been released by police, has been cited for attempting to elude, careless and negligent operation and aggravated assault on a police officer.
According to police, there was a report of some males in a white vehicle breaking into cars on Bugbee Avenue and Short Street.

The North Shore Fire Department doused a blaze at Andrew Automotive Collision Repair Center in Glendale this afternoon after a painting booth within the structure caught fire and caused an estimated $100,000 in damages. No one was injured.
According to an NSFD news release:
Around 2:30 p.m. an NSFD fire company was leaving the Glendale firehouse when firefighters onboard notice heavy black smoke to the southwest. Almost simultaneously a call came in from Andrew Automotive and the Glendale fire company, along with others, were dispatched to the scene.
Arriving crews found heavy black smoke coming from the building. With additional crews the fire was quickly brought under control and extinguished.
NSFD said the fire started when a static charge ignited paint fumes in the booth.
On-scene commanders from NSFD and the Glendale Police Department accounted for everyone who had been in the building at the time of the fire.

I'm facing a problem in how to architecture a particular piece of my software.
Lets say, I have a function called
make-temp-dir (and many others) that does
some dark magic depending on the current OS. I want to be able to put the
implementations of these methods for each OS in a separate namespace.
Firstly, I believe protocols (if possible) or multimethods are the solution to this. However, I've never seen an example of using these with implementations spanning over multiple namespaces. And I'm not able to figure how this'd work out.
Second, if I use protocols for this, I'll have to call the methods something like
(make-temp-dir current-os arg-1 arg-2)
Somehow, passing the os as the first argument all the time doesn't look too good
to me. For semantic sake, I'd wish the
make-temp-dir take intelligent
decisions depending on the OS. Sure I can use some macros and do something like
(doto current-os
(make-temp-dir arg-1 arg2))
but that feels wrong.
How should this be done? Or am I going the wrong way? Any help appreciated.
Edit: Okay, thanks a ton to @kotarak, I managed to get something working. For anyone that stumbles on this, https://gist.github.com/2477120. Its working fine, I think I'll go with that. Thanks everyone.

At 19, mayor-elect's the pride of Muskogee
MUSKOGEE — John Tyler Hammons may have already performed his grandest feat as mayor, even before taking office. He put Muskogee in the national spotlight. Hammons, 19, beat his 70-year-old opponent in a runoff election Tuesday, getting nearly 70 percent of the vote. Hammons, who just completed his first year at the University of Oklahoma, spent Wednesday fielding questions from national news networks and producers of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." "Everybody has the same question," said Hammons, who will be a delegate to the Republican National Convention in the fall. "'Why would you do this at 19?' I think they're fair questions. A lot of people are asking if I think I can do this. Of course I think I can do this, or I wouldn't have run. The voters think I can do this. It's amazing what some people think you don't know." Even though he hasn't taken office yet, Hammons was sitting in the mayor's office Wednesday, getting used to the feel of leading the city of about 40,000 people, 50 miles southeast of Tulsa.
Open and transparentHe's polished, stays on message and isn't fazed by tough questions about the future of Muskogee or pending labor talks with the firefighters union. Hammons defeated former Mayor Hershel McBride in Tuesday's runoff. McBride complimented Hammons on running a clean race, and said he intends to continue volunteering in the community. "I told him he could call if he ever has any questions, since I used to be mayor," McBride said. The firefighters union, which has been at odds with city government over wages, backed Hammons. Doctors at the Muskogee Regional Medical Center were some of Hammons' top campaign donors. For Hammons, open and transparent government is a priority. "People that voted for me wanted change," said Hammons. "We want to handle the people's business, and we are being open about it. One of the first orders of business is to establish an independent ethics committee and establish campaign finance laws." Pretty lofty for someone who doesn't have a credit card and isn't old enough to drink. For some voters, Hammons provides a breath of fresh air at city hall. "We really truly needed a change in Muskogee," said Billye Lackey, who supported Hammons's campaign. "We need new ideas. I don't know this young man. I don't think I know his family; I was just impressed with him." Lackey said Hammons' positive outlook and enthusiasm for Muskogee's future was infectious.
Muskogee's mayor-elect, John Tyler Hammons, is shown Wednesday outside the Muskogee Municipal Building. He's bringing national attention to the city. BY NATE BILLINGS, THE OKLAHOMAN
What's next?•John Tyler Hammons will be sworn in as Muskogee's mayor on Monday. •His first city council meeting is Tuesday. •Hammons, a political science major, said he plans to transfer from the University of Oklahoma to the Muskogee branch campus of Northeastern Oklahoma State University. •"It's a little overwhelming, but I think once the media attention dies down we can get to doing the people's work," Hammons said. "There is a lot of bad blood throughout the city, but I think by me winning by a large margin we can start to accomplish things."

State Senate president asks Time Warner to lower bills in WTMJ blackout
Wisconsin Senate President Mike Ellis (R-Neenah) has sent a letter to Time Warner Cable asking that it lower the bills of customers affected by the blackout of three stations in the retransmission dispute with Journal Broadcast Group.

"It is clear your customers are no longer receiving the service they are paying for" and he urges Time Warner to "reduce their bills appropriately."

"likely" – you mean the CIA does not know? for what they spend in the US budget, the CIA stands for Central Ineptness Agency lead by Osma Obama.

Week of October 9, 2011 thru October 15, 2011
Text Of The Bank Of France's September Retail Trade Survey
PARIS (MNI) - The following is the text of the Bank of France's survey on retail trade for September:
Analysis: Eurozone HICP Confirmed At +3.0% Y/Y In September
September: +0.8% m/m, +3.0% y/y (unrevised) August: +0.2% m/m, +2.5% y/y July: -0.6% m/m, +2.5% y/y June: flat m/m, +2.7% y/y May: flat m/m, +2.7% y/y
UK Analysis: Construction Output Up 0.4% m/m In Aug - NS
LONDON (MNI) - Construction output picked up in August after a sharp fall in July, rising 0.4% on the month following July's monthly, revised 2.2% fall, National Statistics said.
The data are not seasonally adjusted, and their impact on Q3 GDP will depend in large part on the assumption made for seasonal adjustment. The data show August construction output 4.1% below year ago levels on a constant price basis.
On a current price basis construction output was up 0.6% on the month in August.
Analysis: China FX Reserves Fall On Global Flight To Safety
BEIJING (MNI) - The global flight to safety triggered by Europe's deepening debt crisis and associated euro weakness resulted in Chinese foreign exchange reserves falling by $60.82 billion in September, the first month that reserves have fallen since May 2010.
China Money Week: Yields Down On Liquidity, CPI Outlook
BEIJING (MNI) - Yields on bonds traded in China's interbank market fell further this week as liquidity conditions continued to improve, while signs that the worst of the inflation cycle may have passed also gave a lift to bond prices.
China To Announce Jan-Sept GDP Data On October 18
BEIJING (MNI) - China's National Bureau of Statistics will release January-September economic data on October 18 at 10:00 local (02:00 GMT).
The release -- which is expected to include the latest GDP, fixed-asset investment, industrial output and retail sales data -- will be followed by a press briefing, the State Council Information Office said in a statement.

China Data: Foreign Exchange Reserves
Foreign exchange reserves in billions of US dollars:
End-Month Monthly 3M Moving 3M/3M Y/Y Total Change Avg Chg Percent Percent USD USD USD Change Change
Sep-11 3201.683 -60.816 1.397 0.13% 20.90% Aug-11 3262.499 17.216 32.167 3.05% 28.05% Jul-11 3245.283 47.792 33.147 3.16% 27.82% Jun-11 3197.491 31.494 50.939 5.02% 30.28% May-11 3165.997 20.154 58.204 5.84% 29.78% Apr-11 3145.843 101.169 71.390 7.31%
Analysis: China Inflation Eases But No Big Policy Ease Seen
BEIJING (MNI) - Chinese inflation may have peaked, but still-elevated price levels mean significantly looser policy is unlikely for now.
September's price report from the National Bureau of Statistics Friday saw the consumer price index rising 6.1% y/y, down from August's 6.2% and the 6.2% expected by economists, according to the m
G20: Geithner To Continue Demand For EZ Action On Crisis - 1
PARIS (MNI) - For U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen, who have been wrestling with economic weakness, fiscal recklessness and financial volatility at home, coming to this weekend's Group of 20 finance meeting might almost seem like a vacation from their problems -- except that Europe's problems are America's too.
But at least Geithner and Yellen have the luxury of representing a country not directly involved in the European debt crisis whose currency is still the world's numeraire. They can play the role of rich, if not always welcome, uncle -- spouting advice to the Europeans on how to proceed, something the Treasury Secretary has been abundantly willing to do.
G20: Geithner To Continue Demand For EZ Action On Crisis -2
For its part, the IMF, ever eager to expand its portfolio, has floated proposals to buy European bonds and to offer new short-term credit lines to fiscally challenged member governments, in addition to the long-term loans it is already making.
Against this complex and constantly changing backdrop, Geithner has been vocal in sending urgent messages from his Washington perch at every opportunity. In recent weeks he has hammered away at European authorities, urging them to "do more" to get a grip on the debt crisis.
Geithner has not only urged an effective expansion of the EFSF, he has called for EU governments to work more closely with the ECB, to backstop their banks and to bring down borrowing costs.

I really would feel bad if nobody went to my brother's graduation though. ):
Mom/fam might not come to hospital ):

Most babies are up to 2 weeks early or 2 weeks late. It's unlikely that your bean will show up on the EDD. I hope that brings you some comfort. You must be close to your mom though if you want her there. I personally don't really want to be bothered by visitors while I'm still in the hospital.
You really don't want visitors at the hospital. My parents hate hospitals and never come up, but come to see the baby as soon as I get home. You will be so tired and just want to bond with you and the baby and your SO. I know it seems like a big deal, but it isn't. I had vivitors with my first baby and I honestly hated it. I just wanted them all to leave so I could sleep and breastfeed my child in peace. Talk to your mom and plan a little "party" for when they get back and you are home and feel human again. You'll feel more receptive to visitors and they won't feel guilty for choosing. You're not selfish for wanting them there, but trust me you really don't want visitors :)

What if your son was graduating boot camp and your daughter was giving birth at the same time... What would you do.
My husband and his sister were both military and they both missed out on lots of things because they were in the military. If I were your mom, I might choose seeing my son graduate boot camp and meet my grandchild after
Fitness/Natural Birth/Breastfeeding/Sleep Training/Pre&Postnatal Massage/Nutrition/Early Potty-Training (EC)
Babies don't spoil. They can still see baby when they return from the graduation. It's not everyday that someone graduates from bootcamp to begin serving their country.
Plus, your baby could be early, could be late.
You could have the labor from hell and might not want anyone visiting. (Your labor could go just fine and you could be calling people up and letting them know they can visit anytime!) But I didn't want a multitude of visitors at the hospital with any of my babies. (The last one especially because he was born via c/s, he had complications and ended up in the nursery and we stayed for 6 days. I really wasn't up for entertaining people. The only people who visited after the first day was my dad, who brought my kids to visit. Dh was deployed.) Other than that folks called to check in or messaged me to see how we were doing and if we needed anything.

I think as a Mom, it would be a hard decision to make. I'd try (as hard as it is) not to give her a hard time about it. She probably feels guilty enough having to decide. Like PP's said, unlikely you will have the baby that exact day anyway. It may not even be an issue! Babies come when they are ready, not on anyone's schedule. (My DD came on her own @ 37 weeks!)Everything will work out, try not to stress out about it now.
As much as we all like to believe it, the world does not revolve around the birth of our children.
If I were your brother, I would probably be upset if they missed the graduation for the birth of your child. Like Pp said, your child will be there after the graduation.

I have an iPhone which is working with Exchange for email / calendaring over the public internet.
I have a Mac with Outlook which is working with Exchange for email / calendaring but only over a VPN connection. My IT dept tells me I cannot check email over the public internet using outlook --- this sounds very questionable since my iphone is going over the public inet without issue.
The server URL's are quite different. I tried simply entering the public URL on the Mac but it wouldn't work over the public inet or on the VPN. I'm thinking there must be some kind of discovery happening on the iphone which is telling it where to go to sync mail / calendar over the public inet.
So my question is this: does anyone know of a way to get the proper URL's for the exchange server and directory service for Outlook from an iOS device (or at least maybe determine the URL's I should use based on the URL I'm entering on the iOS device)?
