Apple Mac & Nikon Digital Camera Rumor Roundup
As you may have noticed I have not made any posts in about a week now, mainly because I am suffering from Apple and Nikon Rumor Fatigue. Since Britney Spears is now acting "normal", Paris Hilton has a steady and very boring boyfriend, and Lindsay Lohan is avoiding the US (probably to avoid getting busted for complicity, in that bungled burglary at her own house), the paparazzi focus has apparently shifted to Apple tablets and now a Nikon/Leica? clone.

Last Stop Suburbia Tour: Allister + Heroes For Hire + White Eskimo
The band perform 'Last Stop Suburbia' in full, celebrating its 10th anniversary.
A melodic punk quartet from Chicago. Driven by both a love of their chosen genre and the occasional need to go beyond it, they have produced some wonderfully euphoric music. The four-piece originally formed in 1996 and were one of the first bands to sign to Drive-Thru Records. Besides releasing four studio albums — 1999's Dead Ends and Girlfriends, 2002's Last Stop Suburbia, 2005's Before the Blackout, and 2010's Countdown to Nowhere — the band also made a cameo appearance in the 2004 film Sleepover. The band went on a three year hiatus in 2007, reuniting again in 2010.

Manchester City are listening to offers for Javi Garcia.
The Mirror says Javi Garcia is set to be offloaded by Manchester City - because of Alvaro Negredo's broken toe.
City were looking to sell either Garcia or Negredo because Eliaquim Mangala's imminent £32million arrival from Porto will take them over their foreign player quota.
Garcia, 27, who cost £15.8million from Benfica in 2012, had already been knocked down the midfielder's pecking order at City by Fernando's signing and his first-team prospects will be limited next season.

Revenue increased by 4% and operating profit before non-recurring items improved by 17% on the previous quarter to EUR 13.3 million. Operating profit before non-recurring items increased in both segments, although the losses at the Brazilian unit continued to burden the profitability of Wiring Systems business.
Truck production volumes in the second quarter grew substantially in North America and Brazil in comparison to the previous quarter. Although growth in North America was significant, the actual production volumes fell short of the comparison period of the previous year. The production volumes achieved in Europe were slightly higher than in the previous quarter, but they still fell short of the comparison period of last year. Some signs of recovery in the truck business are evident in Europe, which is why the production volume forecasts for the entire year have been revised upwards. It must be remembered, however, that the entire year's production of heavy- and medium-duty trucks in Europe and, in North America, of heavy-duty trucks is expected to fall short of last year's level. In Brazil, production volumes are forecasted to remain at the current level until the end of the year.
Marketing work in Wiring Systems continued actively, and during the period we organised several PKC Technology Days for existing and new customers.
Relocations of production in Wiring Systems were implemented, and shutdowns of the Ukrainian and Irish factories continued as planned. Russian production in the Electronics business was terminated and relocated to China.
During the period, at an international exhibition in Shanghai the Electronics business unveiled the first testers from the new Chameleon product family, which are designed for the testing of mobile devices and other electronic equipment that uses touch-screen technology. This cost-effective and smart solution has aroused the interest of customers.
Our customers have been satisfied with PKC's high-quality operations, which is why I would like to thank our personnel, who have done excellent work for our customers.
We shall actively continue with PKC's long-term development, making every effort to take corrective actions where needed and to utilise the market's growth potential to the full." MARKET OUTLOOK European heavy and medium truck production in 2013 is estimated to decrease by about 6% compared to 2012. The overall economic uncertainty is estimated to keep the commercial vehicle demand in Europe at a lower level. However, the production volumes are estimated to increase due to transition to Euro 6 emission standard in the last quarter.
North American heavy duty truck production is estimated to decrease by 6%, medium duty truck production to increase 7% and light vehicle production to increase by 5% from 2012 level. It is estimated that the production volumes of heavy trucks will increase gradually throughout the second half of the year.
Brazilian heavy duty truck production is estimated to increase by 21% and medium duty truck production by 54% compared to 2012. The governmental incentive program to support the purchase of new trucks is currently valid until the end of 2013.
PKC's market outlook is further impacted by some light vehicle and component programs that are near end-of-life-cycle and will be ramped-down in 2013.
The demand of industrial electronic appliances is estimated to remain at the previous level. Volumes of renewable-energy and energy saving products including smart grid solutions are likely to increase. Also the demand in telecommunications sector is expected to increase slightly.
PKC GROUP'S OUTLOOK PKC Group estimates its full year 2013 revenue to be lower than in 2012 and estimates its comparable operating profit excluding non-recurring items not to reach 2012 level. In 2012 PKC's revenue was EUR 928.2 million and comparable operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 51.5 million.

text: Posted August 23, 2013 this logic is incredibly flawed .. wow It's not, really. DWill is very talented and given any form of OL play other than "derp just stand there gaiz" he will gain more yards. The thing is he's a smart, patient runner who wants to let his blocks develop and pick his hole. Behind an OL that is not developing blocks or generating holes this type of runner generates low to no yards per carry because they're stopped in the backfield or pushing just to get back to the line of scrimmage. Add to this that DWill is not as fast as he was as a rookie (who is?) and you have a bad situation for a very talentd RB. In Barner you have a young guy, very fast, without the patience to let a block develop who runs as hard as he can (which is pretty hard) at the first sliver of daylight he sees. Behind an OL that is not developing blocks and not generating holes this might be the ONLY daylight you see and it must be seized. In this situation the type of runner who is normally flawed by not having patience might be a better choice exactly because of that stylistic difference that we normally consider a flaw. This may or may not end up being the case depending on how things turn out but the logic in suggesting it MIGHT be the way to do things is not flawed in any way. Especially based on what we've see. And for the record noone that I see is suggesting that Barner is the better / more talented back. Just that he's the one that might gain the most yards with the poo OL we have.

Lucia is 45 years old, cohabiting with one son. She has been a member of the group for three years. Lucia sells new clothing in her home to her loyal customers. Lucia is asking for a loan in order to buy blue jeans, polos, shorts and socks. Her dream is to expand her business in order to assist her clients better.
Lucia is very happy for this loan and grateful to Edaprospo and to Kiva.
Lucia can be found in the back and is the first on the left side, wearing a long-sleeved cherry-red polo with brown pants.
Additional Information
About EDAPROSPOEDAPROSPO seeks to use micro-credit to foster productive commercial activity for the sake of economic and social development within vulnerable urban and rural sectors traditionally neglected by commercial banks. By offering innovative products such as technical education loans and microfinance groups for young people, EDAPROSPO helps disadvantaged Peruvians lift themselves out of poverty.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Build, Buy, Bestow, or Bereave: Equipment Acquisition in RPGs03 Oct 2012
- Category: News Archive
- Written by WorstUsernameEver
- Hits: 1152
Here's a snip:
Most old-school western CRPGs, following the lead set by Dungeons & Dragons, generally stocked the stores with little more than starting gear for low-level characters. Over time, as Eastern console RPGs started building up steam, stores tended to be stocked with progressively more powerful gear, generally equivalent to hard-earned gear you could have obtained in the previous area.I guess that way there was a minimum baseline of gear, but it felt weird that the ultimate ubersword of the dungeon near the previous city was just sitting on a store shelf in the next.
At some point, crafting became a thing. I blame Ultima (starting with Ultima VI, circa 1990). However, crafting in Ultimas – at least as I recall – was pretty low-key. You either crafted simple weapons that you could easily buy in a store, or crafted as part of a quest to create an uber-item. Otherwise, it was pretty much baking bread and milking cows for personal consumption. As the 1990s came to an end and we started getting cross-pollination between fledgeling MMORPGs and the single-player RPG genres, we got more and more instances of crafting – though still more often than not quest-based with very specific recipes
D&D 3.0 came out, and … well, things changed. Effectively, magic items were put in the hands of players, rather than the Dungeon Masters (or, for CRPGs, the game designers). Go to a large enough city, and you could buy anything short of artifact-level that you wanted, according to the rules. Alternately, you could craft your own, for an expenditure of experience points and gold for the requisite materials. Easy-peasy. I was not too fond of this latter change, as it really turned what I'd always treated as an in-game reward into little more than a revenue source. In other words, instead of being thrilled with a really cool magical item found amongst a dragon's horde, any item that wasn't exactly what the player wanted was simply thrown into the ol' Bag of Holding to be sold in town for cash to buy a specific item. It also seemed to take what was once a source of mysterious and … well, magical… possibilities (at least to less experienced players) and turn it into little more than a shopping list.
Jay is also interested in hearing your opinion on the subject, so don't forget to comment, either here or on his blog.

useful for setting down hazards. Helps with pesky Psychic types via Sucker Punch, Water Absorb is extremely helpful (especially since Sand Veil is banned grrrr), and it's just rather strong in general.
Plus on top of that, the majority of NU spinners are extremely entry hazard weak themselves (re: Armaldo), and even that one turn is going to hurt them from switching in. Spin blocking is entirely possible too, so it's not like hazards are useless. Just my two cents though =x
