The Faraday Porteur electric bicycle stole hearts when it won the Oregon Manifest bicycle competition last year for IDEO and Rock Lobster, but was never intended to be sold. However, lead IDEO designer Adam Vollmer was so enamored with the fruit of his labor that he founded Faraday Bicycles in order to bring the Porteur to market. Read More
If the funky, Segway-powered Centaur, shown in our recent look at Dual Mode transportation, is still too powerful and heavy for you, it may be time to go Athos. Sort of an unnatural cross between a pedal-powered bicycle and a four-wheeled quad, this burly "extreme quad-cycle" aims to give riders a new option in off-road travel that blends BMX, motocross and downhill biking.

Kids love creating art almost as much as they love getting out on their bikes, but with this approach choosing what to do doesn't have to be an either/or decision. The Chalktrail is an add-on which turns any bike or scooter into an artistic tool by holding a stick of chalk which is pressed to the ground behind you as you ride, leaving a colorful trail showing where you've been.

In November 2011, the City of Bordeaux in France began a special consultation with its citizens. In an exercise that could easily have created a Homer mobile, participants were asked to make suggestions on what they would like to see included in the design of a new town bike. Over 300 citizens shared their ideas, which designer Philippe Starck has now used as the inspiration for what has been provisionally called the City PIBAL Streamer - an eye-catching concept where riders can opt to sit and pedal like on a traditional bike, or stand on the platform and use like a scooter.Read More
Ahh kids. They grow up so fast - much to the consternation of parents faced with continually having to buy larger shoes and clothes. As much as any kid loves their first bike, they quickly outgrow these as well. But what if there was a way to save the hip-pocket nerve for a couple more birthdays without having the little dears look like they should be riding around with the clowns on miniature bikes at the circus? Well, there is and it comes from Spanish bike manufacturer Orbea, which has come up with its line of Grow bikes that - as the name suggests - grow along with your child.Read More
Two things are certain in this crazy world - unicycles are cool and unicycles are seriously hard to ride. Well no longer.

In June 1953 Vought was selected by the US Navy to develop the Regulus II, a supersonic successor to the subsonic Regulus ship-launched cruise missile. The Regulus II would remedy the first generation missile's drawbacks by having autonomous inertial navigation, longer range, and supersonic dash capability through air defenses. However this also resulted in a larger missile, meaning fewer Regulus II's could be deployed per submarine. First test flight was in May 1956, but the schedule slipped due to delays in development of the J79 engine that was to propel the production version. First test launch of the missile from a submarine using the J79 engine was in September 1958. By then the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile program was in full development, making cruise missiles obsolete. Regulus was cancelled at the end of 1958, although surplus missiles were flown in guidance technology tests and as targets.
Development Cost $: 144.400 million in 1957 dollars. Standard warhead: 910 kg (2,000 lb). Maximum range: 1,610 km (1,000 mi). Number Standard Warheads: 1. Standard warhead: W27. Warhead yield: 1,500 KT. Boost Propulsion: Solid rocket. Maximum speed: 2,260 kph (1,400 mph). Initial Operational Capability: 1959.

Vought SSM-N-9-RGM-15 Regulus II
In June 1953 Vought received a contract to develop a supersonic successor to the SSM-N-8-RGM-6 Regulus cruise missile. The new missile was named Regulus II (although it was a completely new missile, and not a development of Regulus) and received the designation SSM-N-9. The SSM-N-9 designator had been previously assigned temporarily to the MGM-18 Lacrosse missile, before the latter was transferred to the Army as SSM-G-12.
The XRSSM-N-9 Regulus II prototypes had a retractable landing gear for missile recovery, and an interim Wright J65-W-6 engine, which didn't allow flight at the design speed of Mach 2. The first flight of an XRSSM-N-9 occurred in May 1956, and the testing of this model continued until the end of 1957. In 1958 testing continued with the improved XRSSM-N-9a prototypes, which still had the landing gear, but were equipped with the General Electric J79-GE-3 engine intended for the tactical missiles. The first launch of a Regulus II from a submarine occurred in September 1958. The designations YTSSM-N-9a and TSSM-N-9a were reserved for evaluation and production models of the landing gear equipped Regulus II, to be used for training purposes.
Regulus II was a Mach 2 cruise missile design, which could also attain a significantly higher altitude and range than the SSM-N-8 Regulus I. The radio command guidance of the Regulus I was dropped in favour of an inertial guidance system, making the SSM-N-9 much less prone to electronic jamming. Despite these advantages, the Regulus II would have been hopelessly obsolete with the advent of the UGM-27 Polaris SLBM (Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile), and therefore the tactical SSM-N-9 Regulus II cruise missile was cancelled in late 1958. Nevertheless the evaluation of the missile's performance continued, and the first XSSM-N-9 tactical prototype (substituting the landing gear for additional fuel, allowing full range and Mach 2 capability) was launched in November 1959, followed by YSSM-N-9 evaluation models. Interestingly, the SSM-N-9 was redesignated as RGM-15A in June 1963, more than 4 years after the program had been cancelled.
In the final stages of the Regulus II program, around 1958, it was apparently proposed to equip the missile with a radar map matching guidance system. In this system, which is generally known as TERCOM (Terrain Contour Matching), the radar map of the terrain below the missile's flight path is constantly matched with preloaded radar maps, allowing the missile to follow a precise preprogrammed path. For evaluation missiles equipped with this guidance system, the designations YTSSM-N-9b and YSSM-N-9a were allocated to improved YTSSM-N-9a and YSSM-N-9, respectively. However, none of these variants were built.
After program cancellation, the remaining flight test missiles were used as KD2U-1 supersonic target drones by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force. The latter used the KD2U-1 extensively during testing of the IM-99-CIM-10 Bomarc surface-to-air missile. In June 1963, the KD2U-1 was redesignated as MQM-15A. Late in their career, some runway-launched MQM-15A drones were redesignated as GQM-15A.
Only 54 Regulus II test missiles were built before production was cancelled.Specifications

Chef Alex Eusebio, seen on season 5 of the Bravo series "Top Chef," and his wife, singer/songwriter Sara Mann, recently opened their new restaurant, Sweetsalt, in Toluca Lake.
The restaurant offers a wide range of options from fresh artisanal sandwiches to build-your-own gourmet salads, with a variety of tasty treats to satisfy your sweet tooth at the end of your meal. As a humorous nod to his reality show experience, Chef Alex's dessert menu features a "Pack Your Knives Crème Brulee" – a version of the very dish that garnered his elimination from the competition.
An added bonus: all of the sandwiches and salads on the menu at Sweetsalt are $10 or, in most cases, less!
To make the Sweetsalt experience all the more impressive, the owners have incorporated a gourmet marketplace in their new establishment, where guests can scoop up fine wines, cheeses, charcuterie, and gift baskets to their hearts' content.
Sweetsalt is open Monday thru Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

NEW YORK -- The Mets may have waited until the last possible moment, but what looked to be a lost weekend took a turn for the better on Sunday in Flushing.
After Ronny Paulino tied the game in the ninth inning with a two-out single off Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, Jason Bay singled home Scott Hairston to seal a 3-2, 10-inning win that snapped a three-game losing streak and salvaged the finale of the Subway Series. The postgame revelation that shortstop Jose Reyes suffered only a Grade 1 strain of his left hamstring -- and could play as early as Tuesday -- further brightened the Mets' outlook as they enter a seven-game West Coast trip in the final week before the All-Star break.

I tool around the atheosphere at least a bit each week and see and read lots of cool stuff. This week two unrelated things struck me. This is where I gush about two of my favorite artists and thinkers, who achieve awesome without a Ph.D.
First the Rad
I have always been very impressed by Cristina Rad's vlog. It's pretty much the only one I watch (so I was very sad when she went on hiatus). This was not because all the others suck, of course, but because I have so little time to spare for that luxury, and I always know hers will be a virtuoso performance that I'll learn something from. Rad's work is always smart, informed, thoughtful, meticulous, and funny. And for her, constructing a video is art. And as an artist, she has an admirable talent that sometimes just leaves me in awe (I suspect most people just take her editing and design and informal scripting for granted, and don't notice how clever it is, and how hard it would be for most to do well, and how above the curve for the medium it is, without fancy tech).
One thing I also love most in life is when someone makes an argument better than me. So all I have to do is point people there, confident it covers all bases, and I have no more work to do. They have all their ducks in a row, they hit every point, they anticipate every objection, they actually researched the matter, and they nail every fact and step of reasoning, leaving nothing more to be said. And they do it so tightly and engagingly you want to follow it all. And you are kind of in awe at how well the point is made. Matthew Ferguson's take-down of the 10-42 apologetic is an example: something I wanted to argue but never found the time, yet not only did he do all the work of researching and composing it, he also did it better than I would have. It was a great day.
Cristina Rad also does that for me a lot of the time. And she did it again this week.
You may be tired of the whole Elliot Rodger debate, having read a zillion things on it already. That was one reason I never weighed in on it: others here at FtB and Skepchick and beyond already said everything there was to say, and I didn't feel like there was anything more I could contribute of any quality. But I still had some thoughts on the matter. When Jaclyn Glenn went on her rant over it, and then notpologied for it, I immediately had arguments in my head against what she was doing, but I failed to think of any useful or productive way to articulate them.
Well, guess what. Cristina Rad just produced a response to Glenn that is everything I was thinking and more. She argues the case I had in mind, but way better than I would have. And it's a paradigmatic example of Rad's genius, as a communicator, editor, researcher, thinker. And artist (though this video has a more straightforward style). You definitely won't be bored with this one, no matter how much Elliot Rodger stuff you've mulled through by now. Definitely watch her video. It's packed with good information and analysis and insight. Not a second wasted. And it's a pleasure to view and listen to: ELLIOT RODGER: MADMAN vs. MISOGYNIST (a response to JaclynGlenn). And hey, she's a starving artist, too, so also upvote it if you deem it worthy. I believe you will.
Thank you, Cristina Rad. You are awesome. Don't ever stop doing what you do best!
Then the Dadabhoy
So, while still being impressed by that, I noodled around the atheosphere some more, and almost right away happened on the latest by one of my favorite bloggers, Heina Dadabhoy. I also have so little time to spare for reading blogs that I have to be incredibly selective there as well. Dadabhoy's blogging is always so well written, concise, witty and smart, and always teaches me things, something I didn't know or hadn't thought about, often both, that it always bears reading. I was struck by how paradigmatic an example of all that her most recent entry was, just like Cristina Rad's latest vlog was for her. And that in a one-two punch in one sitting, by pure chance. So I'm praising her here, too. I'm sure you can cope.
I'm talking about Fellow Atheists: Quit Bragging About Our Prison Underrepresentation. I thought maybe it would be a quick but deserved winge about the fallacious trope of claiming atheists must be more moral than Christians because so few prisoners are atheists, maybe by calling up the usual problem with that: that declarations of faith are often highly motivated, and thus hardly indicative of honest belief, in a prison environment dominated by patriarchal Christian authorities. You pretty much need to be a Christian (or of some "God-fearing" faith) to get parole, or good treatment. And you are a captive audience to Christian evangelization (which gets favoritism from the authorities far over any hypothetical humanist evangelization there could have been but obviously totally isn't). And you are in a population under extreme stress, poverty, and despair, whose everyday welfare is frighteningly unpredictable–a toxic mix of conditions so suited for causing religious belief that a sociologist could hardly design better conditions for it, short of a theocracy. So how on earth can we draw any conclusions about the population outside prison from underrepresentation of atheism in prison? That's case enough, I thought.
Well, Dadabhoy surprised me. She didn't go there (though she could have). She came at it from a completely different perspective, one also obviously correct, which adds a great deal more understanding to the problem, yet that I had not really thought much about before. And she expresses it in an amazingly brief, thought-and-information packed way. And even has time for a few related, context-clarifying digressions. Wow.
Thank you, Heina Dadabhoy. You are awesome. Don't ever stop doing what you do best!

Touch and Go: Ray Yoshida and his Spheres of Influence
November 13, 2010-February 12, 2011
Reception: Friday, November 12, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Sullivan Galleries
Over the course of a half-century Ray Yoshida (1930-2009) was one of the most vital American artistic figures to emerge from the Midwest. His singular importance is due both to his art and his position as an educator and colleague at SAIC. Curated by John Corbett and Jim Dempsey, this exhibition will be the first to examine Yoshida's work and its relation to his life in this educational institution, while placing it historically at the crucial juncture of mid-century Chicago-a time of transition from an expressionist orientation to a pop idiom.
This retrospective features works from the artist's estate-many on view for the first time-beginning with early, Pre-Imagist works on paper created subsequent to Yoshida receiving his BFA from SAIC in 1953. Alongside this chronological view, the show incorporates works by other artists, highlighting several major spheres of influence: Yoshida's teachers Kathleen Blackshear and Whitney Halstead; his colleagues Ted Halkin, Miyoko Ito, Thomas Kapsalis, and Evelyn Statsinger; his contemporaries Peter Saul, William Copley and Oyvind Fahlström; and his students which he influenced and with whom he remained open to their influence, as seen through works by Roger Brown, Jim Nutt, Christina Ramberg, Karl Wirsum, among others. Where many teachers retain a master-apprentice relationship, Yoshida came to consider his pupils as colleagues. Thus, this exhibition offers a chance to look at the give-and-take, the "touch and go," of this remarkable artist's generous and voracious exchange with the artists that surrounded him.
In addition, the first collaboration between the SAIC's Department of Exhibitions and Exhibition Studies and the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Contemporary Art, will result in a concurrent presentation of Yoshida's work will be on view in the Modern Wing from 12 November 2010-8 May 2011.
"Touch and Go" at SAIC's Sullivan Galleries exhibition is supported in part by the Estate of Ray Yoshida, with additional contributions from Ruth Horwich and Cleve Carney.

During 2003, in the middle of the most productive season of his youngBusch Series career, NASCAR suspended Shane Hmiel indefinitely forfailing a drug test. In a sponsor-driven culture where a squeaky cleanimage is a requirement, drug suspension is paramount to a death sentencefor most drivers.
Hmiel, however, isn't just any driver. Encouraged by his friends,members of the racing community, and his family--including his father,longtime NASCAR crew chief and team manager Steve Hmiel--Shane Hmielfought his way back to a clean lifestyle and a regular seat in the No.15 Billy Ballew Motorsports NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series entry thisseason.
To his credit, Hmiel hasn't ducked the media or tried to put a 'spin' onthe events surrounding his suspension from the sport. He candidlydiscusses his career ups and downs in this SCR interview. We think youwill find his a story of perseverance, self-belief and an inner drivethat transcends the racetrack.
Name: Shane Riley Hmiel
Date of birth: May 15, 1980
Hometown: Pleasant Garden, North Carolina
Family: Single; parents Steve and Lisa; brother Tyler
Racing Involvement: Driver in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series,2004; Busch Series competitor for 2002 and 2003 seasons; won twice, had13 top 10s, finished fifth in points and earned Rookie of the Year inNASCAR Goody's Dash Series, 2001; had successful run in Late Models onshort tracks in North Carolina.
SCR: At Indianapolis Raceway Park in August, 2003, you won thepole, led the most laps and staged an epic NASCAR Busch Series battlewith Brian Vickers. He went on to win and you finished fourth. What doyou remember about that race?
HMIEL: I remember every lap like it was just yesterday. It wastwo young guys who grew up racing on the short tracks together. Thatrace was a really good race for my team. We weren't an established team;we weren't a Hendrick Motorsports or anything like that. We were racingout of George deBidart's pocket and to race with a team like Brian'sthat had $6 or $7 million to spend just showed how good of a team wewere right then. There are still people who come to me and say that wasthe greatest race they've ever seen.
SCR: Vickers went on to win the Busch title and get a Cup ride atHendrick Motorsports after that win at IRP. Meanwhile, the wheels cameoff for you about a month later when you were suspended indefinitely fora violation of NASCAR's Drug Policy. How were you notified?
HMIEL: I got a phone call saying there was some stuff in mysystem that shouldn't be there. They came to me after the Richmond raceand told me they wanted to test me. They were randomly testing peoplethen and when they asked, I said, 'sure, no problem.' I was surprised asanyone that they wanted to test me.

Typical, resorting to insults because their arguments hold no water.
I do not need guns to make up for a little one!! Cause I have a big boat!

Keep it on the "straight and narrow" folks or a big "closed for business sign" will be erected.
I modified "it" so hopefully you wont need to erect a humungous "closed for business sign"
That's why some guns come with "compensators"
See? Really, it's the gun grabbers that come up on, ahem, "the short end of the stick" as it were...
Just remember what mayor Daley wanted to do with the bayonet mounted on the rifle he was displaying to the press...
They'd all like to equalize us so that we are as "short armed" as they are...
Stupid author... Stupid
This guy probably drinks a Starbuck Latte with his pinkie finger raised!

Starbuck Latte with his pinkie finger raised
A return of this stupid, outdated, disproven, pseudo-Freudian cr@p. (Oh sorry...did I say that out loud? I meant to use my inside voice.)
You notice that no comments are allowed under that piece of trash editorial.
Who would take the time to read that? It seems like every third person has written an editorial, article, or blog post about gun control and Second Amendment rights. I'd bet that less than one percent of these opinion pieces are actually informative and thought-provoking.
From the article, as well: "But Todd, plenty of women also own guns. What about them? Do they have small penises, too?"
My answer to that question would be: yes. Yes they do. Women who own assault weapons have tiny [man parts], just like their male counterparts. That would explain why they're angry enough to buy a weapon whose sole purpose is to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
Good grief, another person who doesn't share the same opinion and understanding of firearms calling woman gun owners "angry" and "wanna-be men." Geez, never heard that before...:puke:.

It looks like Seth McFarlane loves "Reading Rainbow" almost as much as LaVar Burton. The kickstarter project to revive the childhood classic "Reading Rainbow" received yet another boost on Thursday when McFarlane got involved. According to the New York Daily News on Friday, Seth McFarlane has pledged to match donations to the "Reading Rainbow" Kickstarter project dollar for dollar up to $1 million.
The original host of "Reading Rainbow" LaVar Burton launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring the popular children's show back in the form of webisodes at the end of May. Burton reached his initial goal to raise $1 million in the first eleven hours of the campaign. The huge response is indicative of what a popular educational program "Reading Rainbow" was with a now adult crowd.
Even after hitting their goal, the "Reading Rainbow" campaign pressed on. In less than 30 days, LaVar Burton was able to raise roughly $4 million dollars. With just five days left in the campaign, Seth McFarlane stepped in to give it a boost. McFarlane pledged to match all donations in the last five days of the campaign dollar for dollar up to $1 million. This could bump the total donations to a whopping $6 million in just one month!
The funds are being raised to make "Reading Rainbow" accessible to every classroom, even those who are underfunded and could never afford it. With this latest boost to the Kickstarter project, "Reading Rainbow" could potentially be made accessible to more than 12,000 classrooms.
Burton was quick to thank Seth McFarlane for being so supportive of the classic PBS kids show He took to Twitter and wrote, "but before you start calling your friends and spreading the word, please help me thank my friend, Seth, for his amazing generosity." The pledge to match contributions to the "Reading Rainbow" fund was also confirmed by Seth McFarlane's publicist in a recent release by the Associated Press.

What Clients Say:
"THE RAVES ARE IN! We have had many talented speakers over our 45-year history, however none have held our audience spell bound as you did! Everyone left with a new concept of communication with humor; information that can prove beneficial as they administer their daily care and throughout their lives. Most impressive – full of surprises."
Carol Rogers, Director of Membership Services, New Jersey Assn. of Health Care Facilities, Trenton, NJ
"I want to compliment you on your performance. You are a very smart guy. When you and I spoke, I had no idea how you were going to use the stuff we discussed. The result was that you were able to talk about our industry as if you intimately knew it. That impressed me."
Tony Drost, First Rate Property Management, Boise, ID
The National Association of Residential Property Management (NARPM)
"You were WONDERFUL!!!!!!! Thank you SO much. I had such a bad day yesterday and after listening to you today. I felt like it was all nothing.
You are an outstanding speaker, the best I have ever heard."
Mary Zaitz, Community Compliance Officer, Arapahoe County PW&D
"Not only was your message valuable, your quick wit and humor made it memorable."
"My opinion of a good program is when it causes you to do something different. Two of my sales people called after your program and mentioned they used your suggestions in handling a difficult situation, by avoiding the pot hole and course correcting."
New Jersey Association of Health Care Facilities
"In short: Thanks for blowing their socks off with your special wholesome humor!"
Our employees at the Navy Army Credit Union were entertained as well as motivated (not-to-mention laughing like crazy). Scott's delivery is outstanding, and his ability to size up a group and make the presentation very personal is quite an accomplishment. Scott is extremely easy to work with, and takes the time to understand what you want him to convey to your group.
Nebraska Department of Education
"You did such a nice job of establishing a positive beginning for the conference. Your presentation was a nice blend of humor and ideas the stimulated thinking."
"Your talent in creatively weaving all the highlights of the day together at the end of the conference was the icing on the cake! You certainly brought JOY to our Wisconsin audience."

"You did an EXCELLENT job! I have been thanked many times for having you close our convention! The comments on the evaluations are GREAT!"
"When you have an audience that is so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, plus having so hearty laughs-you're good!! In my twenty years as IAPHCC Executive Director, you topped all of our Opening Session Keynoters!"
Activity Professionals of Ontario
"Your keynote session "the Best Way To Predict The Future Is To Create It" was the best session I have attended in my seven years with the A.P.O."
"You truly transformed the group. They were so energized and positive it was hard to believe they had been through a four-day convention"
"In all my years as a Senior Executive planning sales meetings, I have never had overwhelming kudos, high fives and positive comments about a speaker until you spoke for our group at the National Sales Meeting. You were unique because of the thoroughness of your research and how you incorporated your knowledge of our company into your presentation. Your humor and wit were absolutely top notch and right on!"
National Management Assn

If you missed "A Story In Three Parts" this past Friday at the Duluth Play Ground — and you might have, I'm told the place was packed — here is a chance to catch the rerun.
Recap: Local artist Lee Zimmerman painted three panels while Kathy McTavish provided the soundtrack with her cello. Zimmerman uses silks and dyes, and positioned himself behind the 8-foot panels, so that the audience would see the colors magically seeping into the silk.
According to Zimmerman, who passed along the link, the painting starts about 8 minutes into the video. The first panel took 34 minutes, the second took 54 minutes and the whole show clocks in at about an hour and 14 minutes.
If you missed it, you can catch him during the Duluth Playhouse's performances of "The Secret Garden." Zimmerman is providing the garden, a new spontaneous live painting every night of the show. His daughter Kier Zimmerman plays Mary. "The Secret Garden" runs Thur.-Sun. Feb. 18-March 7. For show times, go here.

Tuscaloosa, Ala. - Sophomores Katelyn Greenleaf and Meropi Panagiotou of the Alabama women's cross country team have earned All-South Region honors for their performances at last Friday's NCAA South Region Championships in Tuscaloosa. All-Region honors are reserved for the 450 male and female athletes from across the nation each season who place in the top 25 at the nine different regional championships.
Greenleaf (St. Petersburg, Fla./Northside Christian HS) earned the honor by virtue of a team-best 13th-place finish at the South Region championships on November 15 as she traversed the 6-kilometer version of the Harry Pritchett Running Course in a personal-best time of 20 minutes, 38.44 seconds. After putting together an impressive freshman campaign last season that was highlighted by a top-20 finish at the 2012 SEC Championships, Greenleaf consistently led the Crimson Tide as she posted the team's fastest times in five of six races this fall, including a ninth-place finish at the 2013 SEC Championships.
Panagiotou (Nicosia, Cyprus) was the individual champion in the season's first meet at the Samford Dual on August 31, and followed up with top-10 finishes at Iowa and the Crimson Classic as well as a 27th-place showing at the SEC Championships. Panagiotou finished 19th overall at the NCAA South Region Championships. Panagiotou also achieved a personal-best for the 6k distance at the region meet with a time of 20:43.88.
Largely due to the performances of Greenleaf and Panagiotou, the Alabama women's cross country team won the team title at three meets this fall - the Samford Dual (August 31), the Iowa Black and Gold Invitational (September 13) and the Crimson Classic (Oct. 18), in addition to posting Alabama's highest women's team finish at an NCAA South Region Championships since 1987, the Tide's third-place showing on November 15 in Tuscaloosa.

"The Order: 1886" was expected to be the Playstation 4's big exclusive for the holiday shopping season of 2014. Instead, rumors picked up Monday that the release of the game has been pushed back.
Things kicked off when Twitter user NaughtyGods wrote, "The Order 1886 is indeed delayed and release is now set for February [I]'ve been told by someone who works for Gamereactor." The official announcement is expected to hit Tuesday, May 27 when previews for the game begin hitting from various news outlets.
This was seemingly confirmed by insider shinobi602 on Twitter who's known for spilling leaks. "Well, looks like the cat's [sic] out of the bag. Yea, The Order's coming in February," he added. "Sorry guys."
If true, this leaves the list of big AAA exclusive titles for the PS4 this holiday to "Driveclub," which ironically was delayed to Oct. 8 from an original console launch release. There's also the "The Last of Us Remastered"coming this summer plus a host of indie and digital only exclusives like "N++" and whatever Sony decides to announce during its E3 press conference on June 9.
That means the PS4 will depend almost exclusively on third-part retail releases for the rest of the year to attract gamers. Fortunately, the lineup there looks strong with "Dragon Age: Inquisition," "Destiny," "Batman: Arkham Knight," "Far Cry 4," "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare," "Shadow of Mordor" and "Alien: Isolation."
As for as the Xbox One goes, there are only slight more exclusives set to release for that console for the rest of the year. The list includes "Fantasia: Music Evolved," "Sunset Overdrive," and the unannounced "Halo" title that is expected to be a remake of either "Halo 2" or "Halo 1-4." There's also whatever announcements Microsoft makes during its E3 press conference. It's unknown if games "Fable Legends," "Quantum Break" and "D4" will make the 2014 release cycle.

Supplier: M14857
InfoHub supplier since Aug 2006!
Base of operations: USA -- Number of InfoHub client requests accepted: 13
M14857 promotes intergenerational bonding through exciting small-group travel experiences designed to enrich and entertain. We created M14857 out of a desire to help families connect with each other and the fascinating world in which we live. M14857 tours are designed with family and loved ones in mind.
M14857 is a family owned company whose founders have over 25 years combined experience in leisure travel. If your family is like ours, you have extended family and dear friends living in distant places, and you and your immediate family all lead busy lives. Our first-hand knowledge of connecting with family, coupled with our professional experience, means we really understand family travel. We also realize the changing definition of the word family and welcome everyone's families to enjoy our adventures.
The M14857 Philosophy:
We believe that traveling together is a perfect way for families to discover the world and rediscover each other. Even with the best of intentions, we know it is difficult to maintain the bonds that keep a family strong. It is even harder if distance separates you from your loved ones, or if the hectic daily routine of life erodes connections to your immediate family. Shared experiences through travel can revive those bonds by creating an intimate scrapbook of memories that remind us of our heritage and our connections to each other. These "remember when" moments with loved ones are a legacy that will last a lifetime.
We know that grandparents and parents want to encourage the intellectual and social development of the children in their lives. Our children are the future, and they can make a difference in our uncertain world. A M14857 travel experience opens a child's eyes to a world of diverse people. Since our world is increasingly intertwined with other countries and cultures, we feel it is essential to equip children with the wisdom of their elders and a better understanding of their global community. Our tours are designed for families—children, adults, and grandparents—who are curious about their world.
We understand families are looking for a vacation that is both enriching and fun. Every M14857 tour is an experience that goes well beyond the traditional vacation. On a M14857 adventure, you can expect to encounter the unique and the must-see. Among the unique experiences we offer are: meeting sportswriters on the Baseball Tour; enjoying private concerts on the Music Tour; meeting a Shaman on the Peru Tour and seeing a 400-pound tortoise lumber by on the Galapagos Islands Tour! Must-see experiences include a sunset at Machu Picchu, orca pods, swimming in Canada's Puget Sound, surreal rock formations in the Black Hills and Sunday festivities in the town square of San Miguel de Allende.

What Josh Karp Learned From Founding The Printed Blog, Shutting It Down, Relaunching A Year Later
by Tim Jahn on August 24, 2010
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
I first interviewed Josh Karp over a year ago when he founded The Printed Blog. The idea was to take blogs offline and print them in a weekly newspaper format where content was voted upon by the local community.
The idea didn't work so well the first time around. Six months after the first issue of The Printed Blog was released, Josh had to shut the whole operation down due to lack of funds.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when I catch wind on Twitter that Josh is going to relaunch The Printed Blog with renewed energy, a new co-founder, and most importantly, a new business model.
What has Josh learned from founding The Printed Blog, shutting it down, and now relaunching it a year later? I caught up with Josh to find out.
Josh Karp:
My name is Josh Karp and I am the founder and publisher of The Printed Blog. The Printed Blog today is a little bit different than it was before. Today, it is a weekly print magazine that brings you the very best of the web picked by editors who you may already know and follow, and delivered to you in a beautiful package directly to you at home. It's a little bit different than it was before.
Before, The Printed Blog was free, it was a beautiful package, we believe and we distributed it at train stations and other transportation hubs. So we've changed the model a bit to sort of fix some of the things that we had, that didn't work quite as well the last time we were doing it.
Tim Jahn:
The next obvious question is, you started The Printed Blog once. What happened? Why did it fail or why did it cease to exist?
Josh Karp:
Well, it ceased to exist and fail is probably a fair word for a couple of reasons. The primary one is that we focused on building what we thought was a great product and targeting wide distribution rather than focus on a single geographic area and try to make that one particular area profitable. If I had to do it all over again, I would not have started to distribute in New York and San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
I would have picked a single neighborhood in Chicago, I would have found great national blogs and as many local blogs as I could. I would have focused on selling local ads to businesses within a six or eight block radius of where I knew I was going to distribute the paper.
Had I done it like that, I am completely certain that we could have made that first location profitable and then we could have moved to the next one and the next one adjoining the distribution of locations. So had I started by just focusing on the Fullerton Red Line stop, for example in selling ads to businesses that wanted to target people who got on the train in Fullerton.
I think that the end result would have been quite a bit different. We decided to become a newspaper for the next 100 years. And frankly, we were encouraged. We were encouraged by the fact that the New York Times wrote a giant article in their print edition with two photographs. We were encouraged by being called by venture capitalists and some of their most prominent venture attorneys in the world. So we sort of started to believe the press that we were getting.
In actuality, had we been a little bit wiser, we would have ignored all that, we would have appreciated it, and we were flattered by it. But we would have focused on a single geographic area, made that first location profitable and slowly and deliberately expand it from there. So those are the primary that was the primary reason why we weren't successful.
We had all the components, we had a great looking piece, we had some of the best bloggers you could find, we had world class photography, we had a terrific team of people, but we sort of grew too fast, too quickly and should have focused on one area.
Tim Jahn:
What drives you with this idea and with other ideas? What makes you execute and really push forward with the ideas? Because I can imagine you have a lot of ideas running around in your head, I know I do.
Josh Karp:
Well, what drives me is the thrill of taking something which is an idea and trying to make something that's tangible from it. And I got a very – I enjoy doing that quite a bit. Whether it's a product like The Printed Blog or when I'm working – when I've been a consultant for a big company on a technology project that they have some problem they wish to solve.
That's really what I get excited about is the idea of taking something that's a thereal (phonetic) and making something tangible from it. And working with people to try and get people engaged to help me to do that. I know that's sort of a strange answer. But that's sort of what really motivates me.
I may not be the guy to run a business that takes off, that has HR, and finance, and all of those components. But what I am the guy for is when you sit down with me and you give me an idea at a coffershop and you're like, "Josh, you know, i've been thinking about this. I know that there's a need for it. But I need to go from this concept through to something tangible that people can use." That process, that's what gets me up in the morning. And that I love to do and that's what keeps you motivated like with The Printed Blog.
Tim Jahn:
You know, you look at this from the outside and you have this idea that's very different, very against what's going on in terms of who's going to take online material and put in print, print's dying. Whatever. But you did this idea, it didn't work out. A year later, you're relaunching.
But you don't – you have that confidence where you don't seem scared, you don't seem like, oh no, this part might not work, this part might not work. Where does that come from? Where do you – I don't know, where does that confidence come from that you're confident this is going to work with this new model?
Josh Karp:
Well, it probably comes from, it's probably inappropriate. I probably should be more worried. But I'll tell you that I legitimately believe in the fundamentals of what we're trying to do. I believe there's great content online, I believe that people want to read it in print and I believe that we can pay the bloggers what they should be paid for their articles.
And that's it. So there are many, many things which could go wrong. This business could fail for sure. But I think that over the really, the year and a half I've been doing it, I've become convinced that the fundamentals are valid.
Now whether it's Conde Nast or Hurst, or Gannette or the New York Times Corporation, or the Tribune Corporation. That one day has the same realization or if it's us who area able to make it a success, I don't know. But I'm really convinced that those fundamentals are true. And so, that's what gives me confidence. Hearing from and talking to literally thousands of people who have such positive things to say; bloggers and journalists.
Those are the kind of things that give me confidence that people are saying that they like it. Whether we can sell 3,000 subscriptions or 30,000 subscriptions I don't know. We have a really amazing prize for the one-millionth subscriber. So we're, we'll see exactly what happens. But it's those fundamentals that give me the confidence that I have.
Tim Jahn:
What advice would you have for someone who was in your seat, who had this idea that they're very passionate about, didn't work, and they want to retry it? I mean, what one piece of advice do you have for someone in those shoes?
Josh Karp:
Make sure that you objectively look at what you did wrong before. And that's the hardest thing. Because at least for somebody like me, I'm an optimistic entrepreneur. I want to see, I get excited about the potential. I don't get concerned about the risk. And that's something that as an entrepreneur I have to fight against because it makes it that I don't always objectively look at the situation. So with the restart, I've tried to really focus on the things that I did wrong or things that we could do better and try to focus on what's important.
So what's important for now is getting subscribers, is convincing people that it's worth paying $10.00 a month for. So everything else is sort of secondary. That is the primary thing. Because I have the product, I know I can produce it, we've got to sell subscriptions. So learning and being objective about what you did wrong I think is the most important thing that I would suggest to somebody who's trying to restart something that they did before.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today launched a week-long fund-raising campaign to help rebuild the war-ravaged Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina. This is the third such 'Bosnia Week', and is in line with the directives of HRH Prince Salman Bin Abdul Aziz, Governor of Riyadh Province and head of the Supreme Commission for Collection of Donations for Bosnian Muslims.
Two-thirds of all that is collected by the Commission is remitted directly to the Bosnian government either in a dedicated bank account, or through the Bosnian Embassy in Riyadh, or to President Izetbegovic by a delegation visiting Bosnia. One-third of the donations are used to purchase relief aid or extend monetary assistance to individuals in need, as well as to secure health care, restore gas supplies, and repatriate displaced persons. Seventeen shiploads of food, clothes, vehicles and other supplies have been sent to the Commission's office in Bosnia, which distributes aid to Muslims in Bosnian towns through eight affiliated centers.
In addition, the Commission distributes religious books and organizes seminars and training courses, including Qur'an memorization. The media is asked to highlight the need in Bosnia for rebuilding mosques as well as factories and agricultural centers.
In appealing to all Muslims to contribute to the fund-raising, the Commission praises the generosity of the Saudi people and of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz.

Earlier today, the popular blog Supracer.com set the Stand Up Paddling (SUP) racing community alight when it broke the news that the Battle of the Paddle-California was relocating from Doheny State Beach to Salt Creek Beach Park for 2014. Known worldwide as simply the BOP, the Battle of the Paddle-California is to SUP racing what the Rose Bowl is to college football. The Granddaddy of them All, the Battle of the Paddle-California was responsible for the birth of modern SUP racing with its inaugural event in September 2008.
Mike Vaughan, owner of Pro SUP Shop in Marina del Rey, was excited about the news. "I love Salt Creek. It's going to be a fantastic venue," he said. 2014 will mark the 7th Annual Battle of the Paddle-California and Vaughan has been around the sport from the beginning, both as an athlete and a business owner. Though the venue remains anchored in the scenic Southern California town of Dana Point, the layout of the new location will present a different set of logistical challenges for the organizers after years of holding the event at Doheny State Beach. The steep cliffs at the back of the beach and smaller parking area are a stark contrast from the flat, open layout at Doheny State Beach. Another area beyond the control of the event organizers are the conditions on the water. Known for its surf break, Salt Creek could prove challenging for less experienced ocean paddlers.
Scheduled for the weekend of October 4-5th, the dates for the 2014 Battle of the Paddle-California conflict with the previously scheduled finals of the Waterman League's Stand Up World Series in Oahu, Hawaii. The beauty and the beast that makes up the Battle of the Paddle-California is the inclusion of amateur and elite athletes side by side, whereas the Stand Up World Series is billed as a professional racing event. For now, it is unclear if the latter intends to yield and set a different date or stay the course and risk splitting the elite racing field.

TUCSON, Ariz. (June 20) - The University of Arizona's home football game with Northern Arizona has been moved to Saturday, Aug. 31, announced athletics director Jim Livengood on Thursday. The contest will still kickoff at 7:07 p.m.
"We had scheduled the game for earlier (on Aug. 29) because we were trying to draw a large crowd before Labor Day weekend starts", said Livengood. "But after further discussion with everyone involved, we decided that the prudent thing to do would be to move the game to Saturday. That will be the first week of school, and the campus will be very busy. Moving the game back a couple of days will give everyone a chance to better acclimate to the start of the new school year."
The original date for the contest was previously Thursday, Aug. 29.

Secrets of Success
I Joined Two Clubs This Week
Thursday, November 01, 2012
I remember as a kid always starting clubs with kids in the neighborhoods I lived in. I lived in quite a few neighborhoods because my father was Navy and we would move from west coast to east coast and back every 2 or 3 years. I guess the club thing was my way of trying to have a bond with having to make new friends everywhere I went. Well, here I am in my 50's and I am still club joining. Ha!
I joined the senior center which is really wild. I just don't feel like a senior. I am so healthy. Well, I found out a person needs to be 50 to join and it is free. There are so many benefits to joining this club. They have classes for everything from exercise and computers to crafts and learning a language. They have outings that are inexpensive and hula lessons. Tomorrow is their Holiday Bazar of home made things. How fun. It gets me out doing things, meeting new people, and maybe I will even volunteer at some of the things.
The 2nd club I joined this week (if you can call it that) is Overeaters Anonymous. I am not very familiar with 12 step programs but I thought I need to own up to my compulsive eating issues. Afterall, it can only help to admit that I need support...right? I went to the first meeting and listened as 20 people took turns in sharing their victories, challenges, and fears. There were people there that didn't even look like they needed to be there but they are serious enough about their eating issues to come to meetings even when there bodies aren't overweight. The one guy lost 128 lbs by doing this one day at a time. He said there is no pressure to get it done by a certain date and you only commit to one 24-hour period. I am looking forward to being able to open up to a group of people who don't know who I am and never will know who I am, yet they will help me know myself by the process.
We are in November my Sparkfriends. I love Thanksgiving and the whole concept of reminding ourselves about what we can be thankful for.

I love joining things as long as their purpose is either for the greater good or my good or someone's good. I would not join something like JW or KKK which to me are very negative. I belong to the Seniors in Granisle, the weight loss group at the local clinic and would join other things if they were available.

Well this year I did the same thing about he Senior thing. I love it. I really was glad to hear you found Overeaters Anonymous. I was a member about 15 years ago. That is what started me on to the path of fighting this "living over weight". I had stopped trying to lose weight and thought that I was going to die grossly over weight. I found Overeaters Anonymous. The best thing that ever happen to me toward weigth loss. I lost about 125 lbs in a year. I kept it off for two years. The group fell apart because a lot of the members move to other states. So I went back to my compulsive overeating. the nearest group to me is about 80 miles, That is too far for me to drive all the time, but I stay in contact with a member. I think you will find this group to be so helpful. Hey, things are really looking good for you. I can't wait to hear all the exciting things that I know you are going to be experiencing in the future. I am really happy for you. Hugs, Judy

I love the idea of joining some clubs! I don't much want to join them here, in WI because I hate the idea of making friends and sending down roots when I want to leave as soon as possible. But having that attitude has left me friendless here, and I've been here for over 3 years now. =(
Hopefully you will meet some new ppl that you really hit it off with, and can become friends with. Life is better that way.
My OA meeting is tomorrow. I am looking forward to it, also somewhat apprehensive. But I'll go because of our pact =)
Some of the folks at OA have eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia, which might make them look like they don't need to be there when they really do struggle daily. It was a good choice, going. I'll be glad when I get that first meeting out of the way.

The shortstop and leadoff batter led the Hurricanes softball team to the Massachusetts Division 1 State Finals by batting .559 in her senior season with a .604 on-base percentage, eight homers, and 21 RBIs. She stole 105 bases in her three-year career without being thrown out a single time.
Diaz-Patterson, one of five incoming freshmen for Elaine Sortino, was also a state champion in the swimming pool for Amherst, in addition to starring in field hockey.
Kacey Schmitt, the Amherst Regional Head Coach had this to say about Diaz-Patterson: "Softball is her passion and it shows in the way she plays. Her athleticism is off the charts and that really stands out. She has quick hands and quick feet, and it's that kind of quickness that really sets her apart from any other player in Western Mass. And as a senior captain, she cared about everybody on the team. We're going to miss her on so many levels, but we look forward to seeing her play at UMass."

I installed fluorescent lamp in my bathroom. When the switch is off the lamp ticks at frequency of around 6-7Hz. That means there is a voltage when it is off. The switch has no backlight.
First of all is it dangerous? I had a serious fire few years ago in other building because of electrecity failure and I am little sensible about that kind of stuff.
