Secret "Batman Incorporated" Storyline Leaks
Souce ComicBookResources
Following the piracy of "Batman" #17 in advance of its release date earlier this week, DC Comics has another leak on its hands. A photo of variant covers for "Batman, Incorporated" #8 has surfaced, nearly two weeks prior to the comic's February 27 release date. The photo shows three variant covers homaging Grant Morrison's "Batman: R.I.P.," with Damian Wayne's Robin standing in for his father, the Dark Knight. Additionally, the letters "R.I.P." appear at the bottom, using Robin's "R" icon, revealing a major spoiler for Morrison's upcoming "Batman, Incorporated" arc, which has been kept under tight wraps by DC. Damian's death as the focus of Morrison's newest arc has been a popular theory on Internet message boards, as Damian is nowhere to be found on the covers for May's Batman-related issues, even on the cover of "Batman and Robin" #19.
The photo comes from the Twitter account of retailer Al Mega, who posted an auction on eBay for "Amazing Spider-Man" #700 weeks before its scheduled release date. Mega's Twitter feed indicates he has access to advance copies of DC's books — on February 8, he posted a photo of a number of issues not set to release until February 20 including "Justice League of America" #1, "Justice League" #17, "Green Lantern: New Guardians" #17 and more.
When approached by CBR News about the leak, DC representatives replied, "No comment."
"Batman Incorporated" #8 is far enough from its release date that retailers shouldn't have received copies from Diamond yet. Retailers who opt-in to Diamond's early delivery typically receive issues on the Tuesday before release, which makes how Mega obtained the issues somewhat of a mystery. Timing-wise, the leak syncs with the "Amazing Spider-Man" #700 leak last year, when scans of the issue popped up online 12 days early, exactly the same amount of time before the issue was scheduled for release.
At the time, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso stated the publisher was investigating the matter.
"It's always disappointing when someone decides to spoil a big story by posting it on the torrents," Alonso told CBR. "Piracy affects fans, creators and retailers who look forward to a big comic book to put some cash in their registers — which 'Amazing Spider-Man #700' definitely will do. The fact that physical copies of the issue exist, but are accessible to a select few, is, of course, alarming."

Base Builder's Weekend and Producer's Letter!
Hello again everyone,
I wanted to thank all the DC Universe Online fans out there for their support of our latest DLC Pack, Home Turf. To ensure that we were as responsive to our players as possible, we did something new with the launch of Home Turf – we created discussion threads for each new piece of content or feature in the Developer Discussion section of our official forums. The designers that owned the content have been monitoring and participating in those discussions, and we've received loads of great feedback. As a result, we have been able to turn around a couple of server updates with polish, tweaks, and bug fixes in the first few days, with more to come. The discussions are ongoing, so if you haven't yet weighed in, we invite you to do so.
Base Builder's Weekend
In celebration of the launch of Home Turf, we will be doubling your chances of getting Base loot this weekend. Simply put, we will double the odds that you will gain Base items when collecting just about any type of loot in the game, starting Saturday. This means that you're practically guaranteed to get some in Raid content, and close to certain to in Alerts. So be sure to log in and deck out your Bases.
I'd like to especially thank our US PS3 players for their patience as we dealt with some load-related downtime over the last few days. Those issues are resolved and we're looking forward to a great first weekend.
Larry Liberty

A Romance Is Revealed
Direct from DC Blog-
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 yet and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoiler alerts ahead!)
Earlier this week, we teased that JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 would reveal the fate of the transformed Superman after being bitten by the Cheetah. Well if you picked up the issue when it hit stores this past Wednesday, you now know exactly what we were talking about!
In JUSTICE LEAGUE #14, the League continues their battle against the Cheetah and Superman, while simultaneously trying to protect the Man of Steel from the wounds inflicted upon him. Deep in the forest, they meet the tribe that the Cheetah was meant to protect. The head of this tribe details the long history of the Cheetah and reveals that the root of the problem is not that the Goddess of the Hunt is evil. Instead, it's the woman possessed by her who is!
After being captured by the tribe, Superman is cured, and Cheetah gets locked away in Belle Reve. But once behind bars, the villainess begins to talk to an unseen source, revealing that her imprisonment was all part of a larger and mysterious plan. Meanwhile, on the Watchtower, the League tells Diana that Barbara Minerva is a lie. She is actually a wanted criminal who continues to switch identities to escape the authorities. Hurt by this news about the woman she once called her best friend, Wonder Woman seeks comfort in the Man of Steel.
Much to the surprise of the local customers, Superman takes Wonder Woman to the Smallville Diner in an attempt to help her regain some incentive to be the superhero that she is. Afterwards, he takes her on a tour of the Kent family farm and the duo share another passionate kiss.
Little do these lovebirds know, someone is watching their every move! It's their teammate, Batman. And judging by the look on his face, he seems less than thrilled about his friends' developing romance. How will the Dark Knight's knowledge of Wonder Woman and Superman's relationship impact it? And more importantly, what will this mean for the Justice League itself? Place your bets in the comments section!
Below, take a look at the final pages of "The Secret of the Cheetah" as Superman and Wonder Woman kiss under the watchful eye of Batman. Setting the stage for next month's epic crossover event with AQUAMAN, "Throne of Atlantis," JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 comes to you from the creative team of writer Geoff Johns and artists Tony S. Daniel, Matt Banning, and Sandu Florea. Pick up the issue, in stores now!
Injustice For All!
Hey folks!
I know I've been a bit lax with the Injustice: Gods Among Us promotion, but there's a reason. There is sooo much DC goodness out there that sometimes I lose track of the really awesome stuff. And when I lose track of something as extraordinary as Injustice, the updates concerning it pile up into such a giant mass that it develops it's own gravity & then smashes me upside the head at warp speed.
So here are a few things I've seen that I found pretty cool:
52 Variant Covers, Katana & So Much More From DC Comics
In August, DC Comics revealed they would launch JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA with the exceptional creative team of Geoff Johns & David Finch. But it appears that this was only the tip of the comic iceberg.
Are Failed Negotiations the Reason Behind DC Nation's Postponement?

Full Platter:
News broke out yesterday over a corpse of a young woman that was found in a hotel's water tank in Los Angeles. As you can imagine, the news did not settle very well with the hotel's guests who had been showering, brushing their teeth, and drinking water all from this very same tank.
According to reports, police have said that they believe the woman's body was likely to have been decomposing for over two weeks. Officials have identified the young woman as 21-year-old Elisa Lam who was from Canada.
CNN reports, Lam's body was discovered in Cecil Hotel's rooftop water tank by a maintenance worker who was trying to figure out why the water pressure was low Tuesday.
Her parents reported Lam missing in early February. The last time she was seen, according to Los Angeles Police, was on January 31 at the hotel.
Police Sgt. Rudy Lopez said that detectives are now opening up an investigation to solve the young woman's mysterious death.
CNN also reports, "It was not clear whether the water presented any health risks. Results on tests on the water done Wednesday by the Los Angeles Public Health Department were expected later in the day."
The hotel management has yet to release a statement.
Several of the hotel's guests have spoken out and expressed how shocked they were about the news.
"The water did have a funny taste," Sabrina Baugh told CNN on Wednesday. She and her husband used the water for eight days.
"We never thought anything of it," the British woman said. "We thought it was just the way it was here."
She then added, "The shower was awful," she said. "When you turned the tap on, the water was coming black first for two seconds and then it was going back to normal."
What is perhaps more shocking is that even after discovery hit the news, the hotel remained open. However, guests who were checking in on Tuesday were advised not to drink the hotel's water, says Qui Nguyen, who chose to check into a different hotel on Wednesday. He also says that he learned about the corpse discovery from a CNN report, not from the hotel staff.

Atlus is essentially the small RPG developer that has its priorities in reaching out to its niche audience in the US. They've instilled much joy into their western barbarian fanbase by officially confirming the release of Persona 5 onto our shores. We'll unfortunately have to wait until 2015 to receive it on our pretty little PS3's, but that's definitely better than not getting it all.
Persona 5's story revolves around people feeling chained to certain things in their life. It's about liberating the people from those shackles. Here's a snippet from the interview with Persona series producer Katsura Hashino:
Early in my career, I came to the conclusion that the key to making a game that really reaches out and grabs a lot of people is to keep the core theme simple. For instance, with Persona 3 and 4, the basic idea of those games was that by banding together and forming a community with other people, you can get the sort of freedom that you couldn't just by being completely on your own. That idea came from contemplating how people conceptualize and approach what they see in their lives.
But for Persona 5, we're talking about a different sort of freedom that's set aside from what those previous games have discussed and operates under its own set of thematic principles. What we're doing as a team is taking all of these sentiments on various things that we've accumulate over the years making these games and portraying them in a new light. The part that's straightforward about all of this, then, is less the raw theme itself so much as how we go about portraying it in the game. People have to be on their toes, thinking about and engaging with what's happening around them.
We want them to play our game and come away feeling like they've found a renewed sense of self and an understanding that they can't be apathetic towards what's going on in society. It's my hope that people will look forward to playing it without getting too anxious and worked up about how all these sorts of things are going to pan out in the end.
You can check out this whole interview which was nicely translated by pepsimangb.

Happy Easter!
It took forEVER for me to get to sleep last night. I finally fell asleep around 3am. I don't know what the deal is. I go through phases where this happens. I'm trying really hard to not take any kind of medicines to make me drowsy. I go through periods where I kind of depend on them, and I don't want to get hooked on medicine to get to sleep. I woke up about 8 or 8:30 this morning, though, so I'm hoping I'll be good and tired at bedtime and can go right to sleep. It's so annoying...I'll be really tired all day, but when I finally get in bed at night, I can't go to sleep. Grr!
So today, Husband and I got up and he made breakfast for us: egg and cheese omelets, and turkey sausage. We sipped our coffee and had a nice breakfast together. I made some sugar-free butterscotch pudding for dessert later today, got myself dressed (Tee shirt and sweatpants! Comfort is the word of the day!) and fixed my hair. Then I turned on the Wii Fit Plus that I borrowed from SIL last night. I ended up playing for an hour! It was so fun! I played many different games. Each little boxing segment burns about 25 calories, so that's great. I did that three times. I played all kinds of little games. It was fun, and I was really surprised when I could feel my legs working and feel some sweating going on. It was pretty cool. The boxing and the super hula hoop really warmed me up. I played other games as well, but since SparkPeople doesn't have them all listed, I just entered 30 minutes of hula hooping and 30 minutes of boxing. Speaking of which...I have been wanting to get a hula hoop! My SIL has a giant one and it reminds me of how much FUN I used to have hula hooping when I was a kid. I actually won a hula hoop contest in school once. I could truly do it for hours without stopping.
I'm really enjoying the fact that I'm LIKING exercising. Of all the other times I've been trying to lose weight, I've never loved exercising like I have been this time. Some times I have hated it, other times I have liked it ok, but this time I really LOVE it. I like being more active, and I find that when I'm not active, I'm bored. It's as if my body is saying, "Move it! Move it! I wanna GO!" I really like it. I'm also always wanting to do something different. Sometimes I want to go for a walk, other times I'll do a DVD, now I have the Wii Fit program to play around with...the weather is getting much nicer, so we can start doing some hiking. I rode Husband's bike that time, too. I want to get my own bike as soon as possible, with a great big comfy seat on it. I'm just having a lot of fun being more active. It doesn't even seem like a chore. I find myself actually wanting to do it...which is such a nice feeling!
Husband is on a bike ride now. Daughter got up about an hour ago and found her Easter basket. Then she searched all over the house and located all 36 eggs. She ate candy for a while and now she is on the Wii. I can hear her out there hula hooping. She just said, "Wow! I have FIVE!" I'm definitely going to buy that system. Husband was looking at them last night. He found some black ones that would match our system (SIL's is white). Fun, fun stuff :)
I think I'm going to make another batch of juice later for lunch. For dinner, I'm going to make some "fried" cabbage and onions with sausage (not really fried, just saut�ed), and then a colorful potato medley on the side (all different colors of potatoes, baked and seasoned). Yum! And of course...my delectable Cadbury creme egg and little peanut butter egg that I've been waiting so patiently for.
Feeling good today! My mood is peachy keen, jellybean. Exercise really does help pull me out of the blahs. So does healthy eating. I don't ever want to feel that way again, not if I can help it. I'm going to take good care of myself so that I can feel this way as much as possible. Screw being unhealthy. That crap is for the birds.

Studies In Public Regulation
"Regulation" has long been a venomous term in the conservative vocabulary, and "deregulation" (of the airlines and the trucking industry) has recently acquired a benign definition in the liberal lexicon. Across the political spectrum, there has been growing distrust of regulators, their motives, and their methods. The naive assumption that regulation necessarily operates in the public interest has been replaced by a healthy skepticism in some quarters, and by a facile (and often self-serving) cynicism in others. And yet the public goals of regulation are still widely regarded as desirable: the proper alternative to poor regulatory performance may not always be deregulation—finer-tuned legislation and better implementation might promote the common good more effectively. The regulatory agencies need to be regulated and made self-regulating, rather than simply abolished.
Such general issues and case reports on specific industries, agencies, and policies are examined in Studies in Public Regulation. The book is based on papers presented at a conference jointly sponsored by the National Bureau of Economic Research and the National Science Foundation, and its contributors are economists and public policy specialists of national reputation.
Contributors include: Paul L. Joskow, Roger G. Noll, Robert D. Willig, Elizabeth E. Bailey, Patricia Munch, Dennis Smallwood, Richard C. Levin, Robert A. Leone, John E. Jackson, Melvyn A. Fuss, Leonard Waverman, Kenneth C. Baseman, and Sam Peltzman.
A Regulation of Economic Activity series paperback.
"This is a stimulating collection .... Each [paper] makes an original contribution to some aspect of the economics of regulation. There is a very useful overview of the literature. The book also includes: the development of a methodology for integrating income distribution concerns into regulatory policy; an analysis of the case for solvency regulation of the insurance industry; an argument for barriers to exit rather than rate regulation as the major cause of the poor profitability and investment performance of U.S. railroads; an analysis of the political economy of water pollution controls; an analysis of rate of return regulation in the context of a multiproduct firm; and a contribution to the theory of sustainability and cross subsidization in regulated markets. These papers are all set in the wider context of the literature on regulation and the impact of that literature on public policy."

Caffeine Use Disorder has been added to the DSM-5, which is the book used to diagnose mental health disorders. Caffeine use disorder has some very definite guidelines so one would need to meet the criteria for such a diagnosis, but many will be surprised to find that they very well might already fall into that catagory.
According to 14U News on Feb. 1, the drug caffeine is actually as potent as other narcotic drugs out there, but it is a socially acceptable drug, unlike many others. With all the products on the market today that are chuck full with caffeine, this addition of Caffeine Use Disorder into the DSM-5 couldn't have happened at a better time.
Caffeine is very addictive. Just try and give up coffee if you're a heavy coffee drinker and you will see just how addictive it really is. Irritability, fatigue and headaches are a few of the symptoms you may experience.
Over half the folks who consume caffeine in large daily quantities cannot give it up, they're addicted to the drug. Consuming too much caffeine can produce side effects like the jitters. Too much intake of caffeine can be dangerous to your health and with the new products that offer super-duper dosages of caffeine, blood pressure and heart concerns come into play.
The good news for the lightweight coffee drinkers out there is that three cups of coffee a day are considered the norm. So if this is about what you sip as your daily intake of coffee, or if you're drinking less than three cups a day, then you're doing OK.
Will Caffeine Use Disorder eventually get abbreviated with just the letters as a shortcut to its name like PTSD and ADHD? Will Caffeine Use Disorder be known as CUD? Maybe, but isn't that something that a cow chews?

I was thinking about random sequences, and thought up of this problem.
Can algebraic or rational be expressed as a sum or difference of integer square roots?
For example, $5=\sqrt{25}=\sqrt{16}+\sqrt{1}$.
It is known that if the series is infinite any number can be approximated, but is it possible to get any algebraic number(rational or irrational) with a FINITE number of terms?

A Paul Walker coroner report released on Friday by the Los Angeles County coroner's office is answering some of the crucial questions that Paul Walker's fans might have had. The 15-page coroner report about Paul Walker's and Roger Rodas' death seems to indicate that both men died of their injuries before the Porsche burst completely into flames, reported CNN on Jan. 3, 2014.
"The autopsy revealed 'scant soot' in Walker's trachea, suggesting his life ended before the smoke and fire engulfed the car."
Paul Walker's coroner's report described the actor's body as badly burned and in a "pugilistic stance," meaning a defensive stance. His right wrist, his left arm, left jawbone, collarbone, pelvis, ribs, and spine were fractured. The autopsy report mentions that only fragments of the outfit that 40-year-old Paul Walker had been wearing were intact -- a black t-shirt, black jeans and grey boxer shorts.
Roger Rodas' coroner's report stated that 38-year-old Roger Rodas "rapidly died of severe blunt head, neck and chest trauma." Burns on Roger Rodas' body covered 100 percent "of total body surface."
According to the 15-page report released by the coroner's office, Paul Walker and Roger Rodas did not live long after the high-performance 2005 Porsche Carrera GT slammed into a light post and a tree before bursting into flames. The Porsche was travelling at "approximately 100+ mph," when Roger Rodas lost control of the car.
"For unknown reasons, the driver lost control of the vehicle, and the vehicle partially spun around, and began to travel in a southeast direction. The vehicle then struck a sidewalk and the driver's side of the vehicle struck a tree and then a light post. The force of those collisions caused the vehicle to spin 180 degrees, and it continued to travel in an easterly direction. The passenger side of the vehicle then struck a tree and the vehicle burst into flames."
The coroner's toxicology report showed no signs of alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, or other opiates in either one of the two men.
The question that Paul Walker's and Roger Rodas' coroner's report and autopsy results did not answer is whether or not the two men were wearing seatbelts.
"Walker's death came during a Thanksgiving break in filming of 'Fast and Furious 7,' forcing a halt in the production. Universal Studios announced last month that the movie will be completed using scenes already filmed by Walker, but the release will be delayed from this summer until April 10, 2015."

Beautiful, serviceable bag!
By Suso903
from Huntington Beach, CA
About Me Career, Comfort-Oriented, Practical, Professional Writer, Stylish
Comments about Eagle Creek Strictly Business Brief:
The reasons this otherwise glorious bag is not getting five stars:1) I'd prefer a separate zippered compartment for the computer.2) It Isn't as cleverly organized as the size-small laptop backpack that Eagle Creek has discontinued (tragically).3) In particular, I'm missing the side pockets for the water bottle and sunglasses. But I get that this is a dressier, briefcase-style bag, so I didn't weigh this particular objection very heavily.4) The painful shoulder strap needs some padding. Eagle Creek did far better with the backpack I'm replacing, which cost considerably less than this one. The handles are long enough to use on the shoulder if one isn't wearing a coat or jacket, but they are also uncomfortable. I'm finding I need the shoulder strap to carry this bag, so immediate modification was necessary.5) The toggled zipper pulls look flimsy, as though they will break; there aren't back-up metal pulls. I imagine this can be fixed as needed, but they should be sturdier at this price.I am mourning the decline of my wonderful small computer-handbag Eagle Creek backpack, which met with some glittery gold paint and is finally wearing out at the straps. After several years, it no longer looks crisp, and it has never looked terribly professional. And if one inserts a 13-inch Macbook in that model, there is only limited room for other things. It was cleverly designed for maximum versatility for a limited amount of stuff, yet unpacking the thing to get to items at the bottom of the bag was annoying. It was marketed for a 15-inch laptop. That's hard to imagine. Maybe with little to nothing else in the bag.Now for this new bag. It's light and sturdy (except for that shoulder strap). For the most part, I'm quite pleased. It looks professional, if not dressy. So that's a clear improvement over the small computer backpack. One could bring this to a special event and not feel too casual, which is how I felt about the other bag. It's also, due to its briefcase shape, super easy to get to everything in the bag, also a clear improvement. It's about the same size as the small backpack, which is the size I need, so no complaints there. This is not a large bag and would be perfect for a 13-inch laptop. I would not recommend it for 15-inch laptops if you want to carry a lot of other stuff with it. But it would be okay just for the gear alone and a book and some files.What I can fit in this bag:In the outer pocket: USB cords and odds and ends for the computer and my camera. (It's a smallish pocket.)In the internal pocket: lozenges, tissues, and other personal items. (About the same size as the outer pocket.)In the computer pocket: 11-inch Macbook Air (in a protective sleeve), 10-inch iPad (also in a sleeve).In the tablet sleeve: Kindle (It's big enough for a large iPad but not sturdy until secured with the velcro strap that also secures the computer.)Two gadget sleeves: iPhone, and Lumix point and shoot camera.Two pens, each in its own slot.In the main compartment, contents of my purse, file folder pouch, sunglasses, computer cord pouch.I'm a writer and take my gear with me everywhere I go. This bag looks great and is the perfect size. It will fit under the seat as a carry-on. The shoulder strap problem is easily remedied by buying a guitar strap gel pad for about $12.In a perfect world, I would love it if Eagle Creek would re-issue the small-sized laptop backpack that was so well reviewed several years ago. It's such a great bag, and its problems could be fixed easily enough. Maybe dress it up a bit, improve access to gear in the main compartment. Those of us with 11 to 13-inch Macbook Airs need a bag in between the tablet bags and the sturdier backpacks, and we need to be able to take the bags to meetings and receptions without looking out of place. I love Eagle Creek stuff. Hope you can and will address this niche in the market.Seriously, though, this bag is a workable and attractive compromise, and it will serve my purposes well enough. I'm glad to have it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect for airplane travel!
By fiberfriend
from Southern Illinois
About Me Career, Classic, Practical, Stylish
I used this on airplane trips on multiple airlines and it fits beautifully under every seat--even the small storage area often found under aisle seats. The computer fit is snug but it worked for mine. The rest of the bag is very roomy. I was able to fit my computer, my work papers, my quart-size bag of liquids, a small purse, and another small bag (maybe 5x4x3?) holding some carry-on essentials. The shoulder strap needs a shoulder pad--it gets twisted and can dig into your shoulder. There is not a dedicated area for papers; the outside pocket is too small. and there is no divider for papers inside the bag. If they add a shoulder pad and make the outside pocket big enough to accommodate 8-1/2 x 11 papers, this bag will be perfect!

America's housing market has gone from robust to just
plain bust in the past 18 months.
Real estate agents, home builders, mortgage lenders
and anyone whose income is derived from home selling has been using
words like "transitioning" and "stabilizing"
to describe -- or perhaps spin -- the soft housing market that has
slowed to the point of rigor mortis in some locales.
These are the times that try the skills of real estate
professionals, says Jim Crawford, a real estate coach in Atlanta.
a buyer's market without buyers," he says. "Of the top 40 markets, 36
are down. In Atlanta at this time of year, we should have a maximum of 52,000
homes for sale; we have 114,000. What's happened is, if you can't sell in Chicago,
you can't buy in Atlanta. If you can't sell in Boston, you can't buy in Florida."
Here's the squeeze: Rising inventories make it difficult
to set -- and get -- your asking price. Buyers, caught in the same
predicament, are reluctant to buy, hoping prices will return to
earth shortly.
to attract buyers Now that the seller's market is officially history
and competition is keen, how will you attract a buyer for your home? Incentives,
of course.
Builders, who have new homes sitting vacant on
which they dare not lower the price for fear of setting off a domino effect, are
already raising the bar with real-dollar incentives to attract buyers without
reducing prices.
According to Gopal Ahluwalia, vice president of research
for the National Association of Home Builders, 56 percent of builders
surveyed in June said they were stepping up their amenities, 45
percent were offering to pay closing costs and 26 percent were buying
down mortgage points. Overall, 71 percent of builders said they
were offering at least one of those incentives.

Microsoft slashed the price of its Surface Pro 2 Windows 8 tablets, offering U.S. customers a savings discount of up to $200. As WPCentral reports (June 17), the 10.6-inch tablets are up for grabs at the Microsoft store starting at $799 for the 64GB model.
This Surface Pro 2 price reduction deal arrives upon the ears of consumers ahead of the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablet release date. Announced in May with a June 20 launch date, the upcoming Surface Pro 3 promises to replace your laptop.
Microsoft said the same thing about its predecessor, the thin and lightweight Surface Pro 2 tablet and with good reason.The built-in kickstand and optional cover/keypad Touch Cover 2 or Type Cover 2 (sold separately), converts the standalone Surface Pro 2 tablet into a laptop. If you're in the market for a Windows 8 mobile computer that does it all, the 2nd generation tablet might be an ideal consideration.
The Surface Pro 2 features a 10.6-inch full-HD display and packs a fourth generation Intel Core i5 processor inside. RAM is dependant on which storage option you choose. The 64GB and 128GB Surface Pro 2 models feature 4GB of RAM, while the 256GB and 512GB versions are equipped with 8GB of RAM. All models support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB 3.0 connectivity.
With the price slash, you save $100 on the smaller storage capacity Surface Pro 2 models. The 64GB Microsoft Surface Pro 2 tablet is currently $799 (was $899) and the128GB version is $899 (was $999). On the larger capacity 256GB and 512GB models, you get a $200 discount, the tablets are now $1,099 (was $1,299) and $1,599 (was $1799), respectively.
As Microsoft makes room in its inventory with significant price cuts, the Surface Pro 2 is likely flying off the shelves. Pre-orders for the Surface Pro 3 12-inch tablets are live, with prices ranging from $799 to $1949.
According the Microsoft's official online store, pre-orders for the 64GB/Intel i3, 256GB/Intel i7 and 512GB/Intel i7 variants of the Surface Pro 3 will ship by August 31. Orders placed for the 256GB/ Intel i5 version will ship on June 20, while the 128GB/Intel i5 model will ship on June 30.

The Dairy Farm
We are still traveling and my blog is magically posting without me! How cool, right? :P
Today I will share with you about when we went to go visit Josh's brother, Adam. He lives and works on a dairy farm not too far away. We've been over there a few times already and it's really pretty (when it doesn't smell like cow poo).
The mountains look amazing on that farm. It's just gorgeous. I wish the cows appreciated it but they are just concerned about the grass. Silly animals.
Josh took this photo. The sun is beautiful but it just reminds me of how BAD that place stunk. This is where the cows are all loaded before and after they are getting milked. See all that on the ground? That isn't dirt. And it smells.
Here's the side of Adam's little cottage on the farm. It's in such a great location.
The view out of Adam's living room. How amazing is that?
And there's my brother in law, Adam!
I realized that day that I could never, ever be a farmer. I don't think I've ever had such looks of disgust on my face as I did there. Yuck! Farming is a LOT different than I pictured.

I will very likely buy another Swatch watch for myself..
And I will certainly recommend Swatch watches to friends mainly because :
a) The quality is excellent
b) The pricses are reasonable, certainly value for money.
c) I believe Swatch watches will last a lifetime.
d) I am so emotionally attached to Swatch watches because they are affordable Swiss watches. Swiss watches have a reputation for reliability.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 26 September 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18530926-TC-JWC-01; CL 28: 277
Addiscombe, Monday [26 September 1853]
I got safe home last night; safe, and found a fire, and kettle procurable, shortly after ten. Tired enough; but slept like a stone, and am all the better for the adventure.
Silence here, and a grey sky occasionally dropping: how different with my poor little wayworn Goody toiling amid the element of lime-dust and chaotic noise! I saw you wanted me to go last night; and the thought, "How poor in means is the truest human affection,—no richer, and yet so true, and deserving to be rich!" was pathetic and beautiful to me under the dark skies! God bless thee, poor little soul!
Speak to Parsons about that square of window (in the old cistern place) which he has left merely with the sneck on it! That is decidedly an imperfect element in the edifice, is it not? At least, do you look at it; and insist on satisfaction to yourself.— My clear notion is, It must either be bricked up, or left free (the boards sawed off from the light of it) as a window for you[r]1 new secret press under the stairs.— Attend to that; attend instantly while still in time!
God bless you ever /
T. Carlyle

Magnifique Millet with Spring Vegetables
Millet is appropriately pronounced "mi-YAY!" in French. "YAY!" will likely be your reaction after eating this colorful and flavorful dish that is, in sum, spring on a plate. Millet may be the title food here, but it actually serves as supporting actor to special guest stars: fresh, seasonal produce (adaptable year-round using anything you find at the market). Say it with me now (in your best French accent, please): YAY for millet!
Makes 2 salads
- ½ cup (50 g) dry Millet
- 6 small Red Radishes
- 8 Asparagus Spears (white or green)
- 2 Carrots
- 2 fresh Spring (green) Garlic Cloves
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- ½ cup (50 g) chopped fresh Green Onions
- 2 handfuls of fresh Spinach
- ½ cup (50 g) Shelled Peas
- 1 handful of Arugula and/or Mustard Greens
- 1 handful of fresh Herbs of choice
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast (optional)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
1. For best nutrition, add the millet and a pinch of salt to a bowl of water, cover, and soak overnight or during the day. Rinse and drain before cooking. If you don't remember to soak . . . OMG YOU MIGHT DIE! Just kidding, pas de problème, just rinse the millet and follow the rest of the directions.
2. Add the millet to a small pot over medium heat and lightly toast for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add 1 cup (250 ml) water if you soaked the millet, or 1½ cups (375 ml) water if not. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for around 15 minutes if presoaked, or 20 minutes if not, until the millet has absorbed the water (but isn't too mushy!). Let it sit in the covered pot off of the stove for around 5 more minutes until it's fluffable (a word I invented to describe what happens when one places a fork into perfectly cooked millet).
3. Rinse and cut off the tops of the radishes. Halve or chop into pieces depending on their size.
4. Snap the asparagus spears at their natural breaking point, then cut the tender parts into small pieces. Peel or wash the carrots, then grate. If you're using fresh garlic, chop into small pieces or slice thinly. If you're using regular garlic, peel and grate.
5. In a small pot over medium heat, heat the coconut oil and add the green onions. Sauté for around 1 to 2 minutes, until the onions become translucent. Add the radishes, asparagus, carrots, spinach, and peas (and any other seasonal spring veggies you wish), and sauté for just around 1 minute, so they are tender but still quite crisp. Turn off the heat.
6. Add the millet and mix together so the millet becomes warmed, but not hot or mushy. Top with the arugula and fresh herbs and, just before serving, add the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, and nutritional yeast. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
WASHINGTON STATE HEAD COACH Tony Bennett QUOTES
(on game)
"In the second half, we played very hard basketball, (NCAA) tournament level basketball. We tightened up defensively and handled ourselves pretty well physically."
(on Aron Baynes)
"Because it was a physical game, both teams wore down. We were able to get the ball inside to Aron Baynes. If you get it to him deep enough, the opponent's size doesn't matter because he is so big."
(on next Thursday's game against UCLA)
"I think there's going to be a lot of energy in the building Thursday night. That might be the understatement of the season."

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
What a nice spring we're having. I hope Sister Summer will be patient just a little longer so I don't have to turn on the A/C for any great length of time.
It's not so much that I require cooling – it's the grandpup, even though she's had a most attractive summertime clip.
It brings me to mind of warming days long ago, when all the young guys in town would line up at the barber shops – M.T. Rhodes or Mr. Kinnebrew's – and get their longish locks shorn like sheep.
They'd emerge with small white-skinned borders around their hairlines, and I'd envy their ability to come in from a hot day's play, just to stick their heads under the cold-water faucet or run a damp washcloth across their scalps for a good clean-up.
Chiefly these were the boys who played baseball. They and their mothers knew about southwest Mississippi red clay and how nasty it could make all things, especially the sweaty faces of young boys as they eagerly slid from firs to second base. In our pre-teen years, my sister and I loved to hang around the Dixie Youth Baseball field.
It once was Little League, but when integration came to LL, that wasn't something the Baseball Fathers were going to allow in the McComb of the early 1960s.
Goodness sakes, imagine the great harm that could come to youngsters of both colors playing together. Just imagine.
Every summer afternoon, except Wednesdays and Sundays, of course, Suzy and I walked north from our house about a dozen blocks to Edgewood Park, where the baseball field was built so many years before by our father and other athletics-interested dads.
I still remember how great those roasted peanuts smelled as moms in the concession stand stuffed them into small brown paper bags and then rolled the bag-tops closed with a flip of the wrist.
We acquired and dispensed with many a boyfriend around the small diamond.
My cousin, Mac Gordon, recently wrote a book about McComb in the 1960s and fondly remembers a special baseball team that went to the DYB World Series. I remember it too, from a tiny gold baseball I wore for my first teenage beau.
Years later, I had a nightmare surrounding the annual July 4 crowning of the Dixie Youth Baseball queen, chosen among all team sweethearts by raising the most money for the program.
The honor of crowning the little queen always went to the reigning Miss Hospitality, which I miraculously was in the summer of 1968. Another story.
But in my dream, I got all gussied up and walked onto the field, only to see with great horror, that a high school rival was crowning the new royalty.
That's not as bad as my nightmare this past weekend about flesh-eating zombies chasing my son and me across the southern parts of the U.S.
Perhaps I do need to turn on that A/C.
