[edit] Background
Long ago in an age of wonder, when the era of men was still in its infancy, there was an island in the sky... Avalon
From her floating domain, the Goddess Mab watched over all of the lands; keeping balance between the magical forces of the world. Alas, the time of the gods was drawing to an end and like her kin, it was now Mab's time to abandon her dominion and leave the world of men. But Mab refused to relinquish her throne. She summoned all Dragons to her and a great war erupted Wielding Excalibur, King Arthur led his knights into battle. With the help of his half-sister Morganna and the great Merlin, they were victorious. Alas, when the dust of battle settled, Dragons were never again to be seen in the lands of Avalon.
As for Mab, Merlin used all of his strength, all of his power to imprison her essence in a magical crystal of holding It is rumoured that Merlin sacrificed nearly all of his power to achieve this. A decade passed and Avalon remained safe. But evil, it seems, would not easily renounce its claim over Avalon. For a veiled threat now casts its sinister shadow upon the land
[edit] Gameplay
In a remote part of Avalon known as the floating isles, a now secluded MERLIN is busy with the education of MEMORICK, his young apprentice. Although the boy is making great progress, his heart lies elsewhere. Secretly he dreams of justice, honor and knighthood...in essence, all things not wizardly.
As Memorick, you will defend your native land form the ...dark armies raised and trained by the evil MORGANNA. You will explore on and fight a wide range of enemies and monsters in game mode such as horseback, shield-sliding, flying on a griffion's back and hand to hand combat
[edit] Features
- Features easy pick-up and play style for gamers of all skill levels.
- Shield, sword, armor and strength upgrades throughout the game
- Dynamic cast of charcters and fantastic creatures
- Based on famous Arthurian legends, in superb fairy-tale setting, with beautiful 3D interactive environment

9 Stunning Celebrity Slimdowns
Hilary! Molly! Christina! Check out the body transformations you have to see to believe
Now, here's an unexpected pregnancy craving: "really missed getting my butt kicked" and was pumped to get back to her exercise regimen after welcoming son Luca in March 2012. "I like working out since it makes me feel more clear-headed and positive," she told PARADE a month after giving birth. "There is a little bit of pressure, but most of it comes from me."
Hot mama! Since giving birth in September to her third son, the Melissa & Joey star has dropped two dress sizes, she revealed to PEOPLE in early April. She credits the Nutrisystem diet (she's a paid spokesperson) – and a little help from her family. "My husband [Mark Wilkerson] is really into fitness, and I've always been big into working out," she added. "My boys keep me active as it is."
Sure, can silence a room with her powerhouse voice alone, but we couldn't stop talking about her x-cellent body after she took the stage at May 19's Billboard Music Awards showing off her continued weight loss. "It's amazing what having some personal time can do, not only for the body but also for the mind and spirit," a source told PEOPLE of the former The Voice coach in March. "She has been trying new types of foods and exploring new methods of exercise. Not for diet or weight, but more for her mind and well-being and overall sense of good health."
Meatball no more! The former Jersey Shore star put the "G" in GTL to lose the 44 pounds she gained during her pregnancy. "I'm still working my ass off," she told PEOPLE in January, "but it's all worth it." Baby Lorenzo's mama is clearly ready for the shore – and happy to show off her beach bod.
Now that's something to sing about! The country crooner flaunted a 20 lbs.-slimmer frame at April's Academy of Country Music Awards. "I've been dieting and exercising," she told PEOPLE of her weight loss. "We all struggle between eating healthy and falling off the wagon." Her splurge? "Occasionally, I have the mac and cheese."
What better way to show off all her hard work with gym guru Tracy Anderson than by slipping into a black two-piece? "Finally bikini ready & pulling out those Sports Illustrated swimsuit poses," the former model Tweeted in February, seven months after welcoming son Brooks.
We know it's called The Voice, but who could look away from that body? The newest judge made her debut on the singing competition just two months after welcoming son Milan in January. "I didn't have my four months of maternity like every woman on earth has," she told reporters in April. "It's been a process full of challenges," she added, but clearly her Zumba-fueled workouts helped get her back in shape.
Williams let her 20 lbs.-lighter bod do all the talking when she showed off her svelte figure at an event in May. Just a month before she revealed her inspiration for slimming down to 175 lbs. on her talk show. "I was like, 'Okay, I've got to get ready for my 50th birthday Fifty, I can see that being one of those milestones that makes you want to jump off of a building."
No amount of glitter or feathers can hide the singer's notably sleeker physique, which she's proudly flaunted on Instagram. Though she hasn't revealed the secret to her slimdown, Ke$ha jokingly Tweeted in April, "I'm doing a juice cleanse and want to die."

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer events on hiatus over holidays
The BioWare Blog advises that the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer is going on its annual hols from December 21, meaning there'll be nobody to host N7 Bounty events on the weekends of December 28 and January 4. But before staff turn off the lights and put the chairs on the tables, it's switched on all hazard maps, added two new card packs, and unlocked three new characters – the Drell Assassin, Batarian Slasher, and Volus Protector. Nice.

I want to use my webcam to monitor my room's window to see if someone is invading my home when I'm not at home.
As usual, I leave my notebook turned on all the time downloading torrents and sometimes I access it with my smartphone with TeamViewer to see how the downloads are going. I wish just to use the webcam to record any movement that comes from my window (my webcam will stay pointed at the room window) so that I could see as an "alert" from the application popped on the screen. If I detect any suspicious movement then I can call the security company or the cops.
Does someone know an application for Windows 7 that starts recording from webcam when it detects any movement?

Creamy Rosemary Mashed Potatoes
Rosemary, cream and butter are expected additions, but the wild card (white chocolate!) is what makes this creamy mashed potatoes worthy of a holiday dinner.
Creamy Rosemary Mashed Potatoes
- In a 6-quart Dutch oven place potatoes and the 1 tablespoon salt in enough water to cover. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer for 18 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain completely; return to pot. Cover to keep warm.
- In a small saucepan stir together cream, butter, and white chocolate over low heat until butter and chocolate begin to melt. Add to hot potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until desired consistency. Stir in rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper and, if desired, additional butter.
From the Test Kitchen
Keep Your Mashed Potatoes Warm
Place potatoes in a heat-proof bowl and cover with foil. Place bowl over a large saucepan with simmering water (bowl should not touch water).
Prepare as directed. Transfer potato mixture to a storage container. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Transfer mixture to a large saucepan; heat through.

text: Support.com Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Another name in the technology complex that insiders are jumping into here is Support.com ( SPRT), a provider of online care for the digital home and small business. Its technology support services and software products help install, set up, connect, secure, repair and optimize personal computers, printers and tablets. Insiders are buying this stock into big time strength, since shares are up 48% during the last six months. Support.com has a market cap of $212 million and an enterprise value of $143 million. This stock trades at a cheap valuation, with a forward price-to-earnings of 13.45. Its estimated growth rate for this year is 900%, and for next year it's pegged at 60%. This is a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $56.35 million and its total debt is zero. A beneficial owner just bought 150,000 shares, or $615,000 worth of stock, at $4.10 per share. From a technical perspective, SPRT is currently trending above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been stuck in a consolidation trading pattern for the last three months, with shares moving between $4.58 on the upside and $3.91 on the downside. A high-volume move above the upper end of that sideways chart pattern could trigger a major breakout trade for shares of SPRT. If you're in the bull camp on SPRT, then look for long-biased as long as it's trending above $3.91 or $3.75, and then once it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $4.44 to $4.58 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 166,562 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then SPRT will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at $4.95 a share. Any high-volume move above $4.95 will then put $6 into range for shares of SPRT. Prev 2 of 6 Next

Hillary Clinton victory speech: The ice queen thaws
It's been an emotional week for Hillary Clinton. She was trounced in Iowa, there were reports she was going to make a major shakeup to her campaign staff, suggestions she might quit the race early if she didn't win New Hampshire, and a moment when she appeared to be fighting back tears. So it was mesmerizing to watch her victory speech tonight, in which she, for once, appeared to speak with candor and genuine emotion instead of the classic Clinton triangulation.
Looking a bit manic, Hillary took to the podium and expressed what sounded like sincere gratitude to the New Hampshire voters, who have not only given her new political life but seem to have also provided a fresh set of talking points. "I listened to you and I found my voice," she said to roaring approval. "Let's give America the kind of comeback that New Hampshire has given me."
It seemed Hillary was eager to wrap her arms around the youth vote, which had famously gone for Obama in record numbers in Iowa. In ticking off the villains ruining America, including the familiar "oil and insurance companies," she oddly added "predatory student loan companies" to the list. Later, she made a point of thanking "young people across New Hampshire who came out."
In an apparent response to those pundits who suggested she would lose New Hampshire and pull out of the race, Hillary proclaimed, "We are in it for the long run!"

This paper proposes an efficient method to modify histograms and enhance contrast in digital images. Enhancement plays a significant role in digital image processing, computer vision, and pattern recognition. We present an automatic transformation technique that improves the brightness of dimmed images via the gamma correction and probability distribution of luminance pixels. To enhance video, the proposed image-enhancement method uses temporal information regarding the differences between each frame to reduce computational complexity. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method produces enhanced images of comparable or higher quality than those produced using previous state-of-the-art methods.

NEW YORK A U.S. judge handed outspoken hedge fund manager David Einhorn a victory in his battle with Apple Inc(AAPL.O) on Friday, blocking the iPhone maker from moving forward with a shareholder vote on a controversial proposal to limit the company's ability to issue preferred stock.
U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan in Manhattan granted a motion by Einhorn's Greenlight Capital for a preliminary injunction stopping a vote on that proposal, scheduled for the company's February 27 stockholders' meeting.
The decision could hand Einhorn more leverage as he pursues his pitch for Apple to issue what he has called the "iPref": preferred stock with a perpetual dividend that he contends would reward investors and help boost the company's share price.
Greenlight sued Apple on February 7 as part of a broader pitch to unlock more of its $137 billion in cash. The hedge fund manager has lobbied Apple to issue preferred stock with a perpetual 4 percent dividend, and on Thursday made a direct appeal to shareholders on a teleconference.
Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook last week dismissed the lawsuit as a "silly sideshow."
The lawsuit itself challenged a measure called Proposal No. 2 that Apple put forward, which would eliminate its power to issue preferred shares without a shareholder vote.
At issue is Apple's "bundling" of that measure with two other unrelated matters into a single proxy proposal.
Greenlight said it supported two of the proposed amendments, but not the one on preferred shares.
In his ruling, Sullivan said Greenlight and another investor who also sued Apple "are likely to succeed on the merits and face irreparable harm if the vote on Proposal No. 2 is permitted to proceed."
"We are disappointed with the court's ruling. Proposal No. 2 is part of our efforts to further enhance corporate governance and serve our shareholders' best interests," Apple spokesman Steve Dowling said. "Unfortunately, due to today's decision, shareholders will not be able to vote on Proposal No. 2 at our annual meeting next week."
A spokesman for Greenlight called the ruling a "significant win for all Apple shareholders and for good corporate governance."
But not all shareholders were happy. California pension fund Calpers, a major Apple investor and public supporter of Apple's proposal, said implementation of "majority voting and shareholder approval for the issuance of new stock - preferred or otherwise - is worth waiting for."
"We encourage Apple to reintroduce these measures as soon as is practical so that all investors can be heard," Anne Simpson, Calpers' director of global governance, said in a statement.
The ruling could be a warning for other companies when issuing proxy proposals, said James Cox, a professor at Duke University School of Law.
"It's going to make managers reluctant to bundle things together, because you're never going to know when you send them out if there's an Einhorn out there," he said.
The lawsuit was centered on a narrow issue of whether Apple violated U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules by "bundling" the preferred shares item with two other unrelated matters into one proxy proposal.
Greenlight's lawyers contended the SEC rules were intended to protect shareholders from being forced to vote for a proxy proposal involving materially different issues that the investors might not entirely support.
Apple had argued Proposal No. 2, which only dealt with amendments to its charter, constitute a single matter and wasn't bundled. Sullivan called the company's arguments "unavailing."
"Given the language and purpose of the rules, it is plain to the Court that Proposal No. 2 impermissibly bundles 'separate matters' for shareholder consideration," Sullivan wrote.
Judge Sullivan also found that Greenlight would be irreparably harmed without the injunction, since it would be forced to vote against its own interests. Denying Greenlight's motion would prevent it and other investors from exercising their rights to a fair vote, Sullivan said.
Sullivan separately declined to block a vote from going forward on a separate proxy proposal, Proposal No. 4, which sought an advisory "say on pay" vote on Apple executives' compensation.
The proposal had been challenged by investor Brian Gralnick of Pennsylvania, who contends Apple did not disclose enough details about how it made its compensation decisions.
Sullivan rejected that argument, saying Apple's disclosures were "plainly sufficient under SEC rules."
Arnold Gershon, a lawyer for Gralnick at Barrack, Rodos & Bacine, said he was "very pleased" with Sullivan's decision to the extent it enjoined the Proposal No. 2 vote, though said he would have to decide what to do next with regard to the say-on-pay proposal.
Sullivan directed the parties to submit a joint letter by March 1 outlining the next contemplated steps in this case.
Apple shares closed up 1.1 percent at $450.81 on Friday.
The case is Greenlight Capital LP, et al., v. Apple Inc., U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, 13-900.

Tyropites (Cheese Pastries)
Total Time
Prep 15 mins

Stumbled across these when searching for ZWT recipes. Sound delish! Servings is a wild guess for now; I'll update when I make them.

- 2 whole eggs (Beaten)
- 7⁄8 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 (17 ounce) package phyllo dough (Approx. 8 sheets)
- 3 1⁄2 ounces olive oil

- Bake in preheated oven 375 degrees for 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve hot.

I agree wth the previous poster, I prefer butter as the greasing agent. I made half with butter and half with the olive oil. The olive oil pastries ended up flaking out more than the better ones. I was able to make 15 triangles (4 layers thick) and ran out of phyllo. I still had a little bit of cheese left over. It was still good and we ended up eating all of them. Made for ZWT4 - Chic Chefs.
Good basic recipe. I got 5 little cheese pies by scaling this down to 2 servings - one for each person in the familly. We all liked them. I must say, I do prefer butter as the greasing agent for cheese pies, but these were good, too.

Carnival (CCL) may face a large number of lawsuits because the crippled cruise ship which dominated the news cycle over the last few days had a litany of mechanical problems in its history. Though the growth of the travel industry isn't expected to be damaged by the high-profile incident, Carnival has already lopped off $0.08 to $0.10 to H1 earnings due to the mishap, an estimate which could move even higher as legal headaches mount.

Jim Cullen: Review of Marc Morris's "The Norman Conquest: The Battle of Hastings and the Fall of Anglo-Saxon England" (Pegasus, 2013)
The Norman Conquest is a highly readable and substantial account of one of the most pivotal events in British history. It is a distinguished contribution to the annals of 1066 and deserves to have a long history of its own.
Originally published 01/16/2013
Experts still fighting over the site of the Battle of Hastings
It is the most famous battle in British history, fought, as every schoolboy knows, in 1066 at a site now marked by Battle Abbey, near the town of Hastings.But while the date of the Battle of Hastings might still be universally accepted, the location has been called into question, with two experts proposing not one but two different sites for where the fighting actually took place.They believe that for almost a 1,000 years, the battle has been commemorated at the wrong spot, with one historian claiming the fighting actually occurred a mile to the north, on Caldbec Hill, and another stating it was two miles away, to the south, at a place called Crowhurst....

Emperor to survey his capital once againBreaking News
A new architect-designed space, covered in glass, will also feature the bronze equestrian statue of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius with his arm outstretched — the most celebrated statue in the Ancient world — and a gigantic head of the Emperor Constantine. Walter Veltroni, the Mayor of Rome, said that the new wing of the Capitoline Museums was a stunning sight.
Anna Mura Sommella, the director of the Capitoline Museums, said it had been thought that only the foundations of the temple were left. But excavation work in the new space, a neglected courtyard of the Renaissance-era museum buildings on Capitol Hill, had brought to light a 7m (22ft) stretch of the temple wall.
The Temple of Jupiter dates to the 6th century BC and was dedicated to the gods Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. According to the Roman historian Livy it was built on the site of a sacred oak, where Roman soldiers deposited the spoils of war. At the height of its fame, its doors, roof and statues of the deities were ablaze with gold.
The finds have helped archaeologists to identify the site and dimensions of the temple, dedicated in 509BC, which measured 60m x 52m (197ft x 171ft) and had a portico of six marble columns. It was the focal point of religion and politics and the scene of triumphal processions after military victories.

Video: Boston man politely informs Infowars reporter what he thinks of conspiracy theories about marathon bombings
posted at 3:21 pm on April 29, 2013 by Allahpundit
Via Raw Story and Mediaite, enjoy as a local confronts a representative from one of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's favorite sites. There are two ways to respond to a crank. One: Rebut him point by point. That's effective when done correctly, but often it requires patience and easy recall of available facts in order to spot the crank's lies and distortions. Difficult to do extemporaneously, and flawed insofar as it pays the crank the unwitting compliment of taking him seriously enough to rebut.
Two: Do this.
Fair warning — there's an F-bomb here every three seconds or so. Not only is it not safe for work, it's probably not safe to play at home with the windows open and/or children within 100 yards. Either use your headphones or save it for when there's no one around. As for what the Infowars guy is filming, I don't know but I'm sure we'll find out when it's linked on Drudge in a week or two.

About 1,012 M&M's chocolates fit in a quart jar.
A simple calculation can be done to estimate the number of chocolates that fit inside:
We know that the capacity of a quart jar is 946.352946 cubic centimeters (32 fl oz).
Determine the volume of a single M&M. In case you're curious, average size is .636 cubic centimeters.
Calculate the percentage of the total volume the chocolates take up in the jar. Because of their unique shape, M&M's poured randomly occupy 68% of the volume.
Divide your estimate for the size of a single M&M into 68% of the volume of the jar.
So that would be:
- 68% of 946.352946 = 643.52000328
- 643.52000328 /.636 = 1011.82390453

From planetxbox360.com:
Someone sent us these pictures that they took at a Walmart. The games being played are Call of Duty 2, and Peter Jackson's King Kong. Notice anything strange?Apparently the artifacts you can see came up during gameplay and also on the game menus. Note they were not present during video playback. Could the Xbox 360's be getting burnt out, do they need a reset, or is there some other explanation?

Data encryption can be used for many things; not all of
which are good. Encrypting data can keep private and personal information and
files safe in the event of theft or loss of a computer or removable storage
device. However, data encryption can also make it difficult or impossible for
police and federal agencies to uncover the information needed to prosecute
Authorities are having a difficult time producing the
incriminating evidence from a defendant's laptop computer due to the encryption
of the drive contents with Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) software. U.S. Magistrate
Judge Jerome Niedermeier has ruled that a man charged with the transportation of
child pornography on his laptop across the Canadian border has a Fifth
Amendment right not to divulge his PGP password reports News.com.
Sebastian Boucher is a Canadian born legal U.S. citizen and
on December 17, 2006 Boucher was arrested when customs agents stopped him and
searched his laptop when he and his father were crossing the border from
A customs officer says that upon examination of Boucher's
Alienware notebook computer he found thousands of pornographic images depicting
adult and child pornography. The laptop was seized as evidence and Boucher was
arrested but the notebook wasn't looked at again until December 26 when it was
discovered that the contents of the drive were encrypted with PGP software.
Some reports claim that Boucher had configured the PGP software to forget his
password after a certain period.
Prosecutors in the case issued a grand jury subpoena to
compel Boucher to divulge the PGP passphrase to allow prosecutors to gain
access to the alleged pornographic images. Judge Niedermeier's ruling says that
the PGP passphrase is protected under the Fifth Amendment, which protects
defendants from having to give testimony that could incriminate them.
According to News.com,
prosecutors believe they can get around the Fifth Amendment protection by
granting immunity to the passphrase since the passphrase isn't what a
conviction will be based on, rather the conviction will be a result of the
images unlocked by the passphrase.
Details on exactly what PGP software was used by Boucher are
unavailable. Alienware notebooks are now available that use Hitachi
Travelstar 7K200 full encrypting hard drives, but those were not available
last year so the PGP encryption used is of some other sort.

quote: Anyone who stores illegal material on a computer without encryption deserves to be put away
quote: This guy is "suspected" of having child porn. You have verified that this is the reason for not allowing a search of the harddrive how?
quote: Would it be illegal for them to hack/crack the password to gain access if they believed there to be child pornography on his laptop? If it wouldn't be, then I'll ask the obvious here, why don't they just do that?

Be very careful when buying a vehicle from 4042 Motors. They recently sold me a used truck that had severe brake problems. Their mechanic attempted to hide it by putting on new brake pads on severely worn and damaged rear rotors. After driving it off the lot the rear rotors overheated nearly causing a fire because the rotors were warped and the calipers froze up. All attempts to get this dealer to do the right thing and either repair it or repay the costs to replace the rotors, pads and calipers failed as they hid behind NC laws instead of standing by their products. Stick to the bigger car dealers and avoid the smaller dealers like 4042 Motors.More

Gentiva Health Services (GTIV -8%) and Amedisys (AMED -3.4%) are both lowered to Underperform from Neutral at Robert W. Baird.

I'm doing video processing tasks and one of the problems I need to solve is choosing the appropriate encoding algorithm for a video that has just one static image throughout the entire video.
Currently I tried several algorithms, such as DivX and XviD, but they produce 3MB video for a 1 minute long video. The audio is 64kbit/s mp3, so the audio takes just 480KB. So the video is 2.5MB!
As the image in the video is not changing, it could be compressed really efficiently as there is no motion. The image size itself (it's a jpg) is just 50KB.
So ideally I'd expect this video to be about 550KB - 600KB and not 3MB.
Any ideas about how I could optimize the video so it's not that huge?
I hope this is the right stackexchange forum to ask this question.

The celebration won a tourism award a year later and the
costumes are still used by staff of the Lakes District

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jul 01st, 2005
Running Time: 90
Director: Paul Thomas
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Jamie Lynn, Rick Patrick, Trent Tesoro, Jerry (I), Scott Nails, Jerry (II), Alex Divine, Steven St. Croix, Joelean, Lacey Love, Chris Cannon, Veronica Jett, Jean Val Jean (I), Tyla Wynn, Lyndsey Love, Austin Kincaid, Bella Starr, Evan Stone
Critical Rating: AAAA 1/2
Genre: Film
Crossover potential as one of the best sex comedies this year.
Vivid introduces their twin contract girls, Lyndsey and Lacey Love, in a breezy, funny, surprisingly acute satire on celebrity culture, scripted by David Stanley. He and director Paul Thomas, liberated from their compulsion to be profound, relax and have a good time, and the movie sparkles.
It's presented as a TV documentary: The True Valley Story - from the V! Channel. The twins play the totally clueless Wilson Sisters, seemingly modeled on the Simpson girls. Their bitter rival for media attention is rich bitch heiress London Baxter (now who could that be?).
Evan Stone has a ball as their sleazy agent, who is putting together a reality series - "Cannibal Audition Island." The comedy is very broad, and everybody plays it to the hilt, especially Nicki Hunter, who is not only hot (no surprise) but hilarious (who knew?) as a pushy talent manager.
The Love girls are fine looking young women - and petite. In one scene, the giant Rick Patrick stands on a coffee table, and the girls just reach his crotch for a standing double blowjob.
The only drawback is it's all too short. We have to wait six months for the sequel, "Two Hot for TV." Darn!
Pre-noms: Best Sex Comedy. Best Director - Film. Best Screenplay - Film. Supporting Actress - Film: Nicki Hunter. Supporting Actor - Film: Evan Stone.

Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.

I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of all Porsche Macan owners will never take their vehicle on a track or see any more off-roading than a dirt path to a summer cottage, yet I maintain that there is no better venue to explore the absolute outer limits of the automaker's newest small family transport than on a racing circuit and an off-road course. It's testing at each extreme of the vehicle's operating envelope, with both challenges requiring very different capabilities. With that in mind, an

I've watched the electro-hydraulic roof panel open and close about 73 times in the past hour, but its fascinatingly complicated operation still has me mesmerized. I've concluded that only a German automaker – Porsche, to be more specific – would go through the trouble of engineering a roof system that essentially lifts the entire greenhouse off a vehicle, rearranges its components like a sliding-tile puzzle, and then reassembles all of them seamlessly (sans roof panel) to accurately

I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the an

The death of nine killer whales in Southland is a blow to New
Zealand's small orca population, the Department of
Conservation says.
The whales were seen swimming in shallow water at Te Waewae
bay near Tuatapere yesterday evening, DoC spokesman Reuben
Williams said.
By midnight, they had beached at Blue Cliffs beach.
When DoC staff arived at 1am, the eight adults and one
juvenile whale had died, he said.
"In terms of endangered species, there's only 200 in the
local population. Nine out of 200 - it's a bit of an impact
on the population and it's unfortunate."
DoC staff had consulted with local iwi before removing one of
the whale carcasses and taking DNA samples for research
purposes, Mr Williams said.
No other whales had been seen swimming in the area.

Two men were found sleeping off a night of Kentucky Derby partying Sunday morning in an SUV parked at the Louisville Metro Police fleet parking lot on Newburg Road, police said.
Darelle L. Simmons, 37, and Dwight A. Brown, 44, both from the St. Louis area, were found at about 7:10 a.m. Sunday in the police parking lot at 3515 Newburg Road, LMPD police reports said.
When officers discovered the two men in a black 2010 Cadillac Escalade, they saw open beer and wine containers in the SUV's center console and drugs, including heroin and marijuana, sitting in baggies on Simmons' lap, the report said.
Both "smelled strongly of alcohol" and had bloodshot eyes, it said.
Both men were arrested and charged with public intoxication, possession of an open alcoholic container in a motor vehicle, possession of marijuana and first-degree possession of heroin.
Reporter Mark Boxley can be reached at (502) 582-4241 or on Twitter at @Boxleyland.

Rooney skippered his country in a competitive game for the first time in Friday's 5-0 win over San Marino, but with Steven Gerrard returning for Tuesday's encounter with Poland, will be back among the foot soldiers in Warsaw.
Manager Roy Hodgson does view the Manchester United man as a leader in waiting.
And Cleverley endorses that view, feeling his Red Devils team-mate has all the right attributes, even the ability to deliver Roy Keane-style rebukes.
"When you want to win badly you'll do anything to achieve it," said Cleverley.
"If people need telling, even in training, Wazza's not afraid to do it, or if I'm on his team and we're not winning he'll let me know."

CNN presents the television debut of the feature-film documentary Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me Sunday at 9/8Ct. Glen Campbell's music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My parents played his LPs on the weekends and gave me change to play "Wichita Lineman" and "Gentle On My Mind" on the jukebox at the local bowling alley and supper clubs. The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour was required family viewing — and a very good time, indeed.

BILLINGS, Mont. — A cow has tested positive for brucellosis, a serious livestock disease that had been declared nonexistent in U.S. cattle earlier this year, according to a published report. Although it can cause pregnant cows to abort their calves, transmission to humans is rare and consuming animals with the disease is not considered dangerous, state officials said. Montana ranchers now must undergo an expensive testing program before shipping cattle out of state and will have to increase ...

Improvements that NEED to be made...
I have been thinking about what should be done to the game for a while, and have summed up all (well most) of the problems...
- would be v.happy to have It looked at, most of which are from other people:-
- Friends list, perhaps with a colour indicator ingame so people in friends list show as a certain colour, e.g blue/yellow etc..
- Server browser filters, favourites etc.
- Chat log, to see what messages people have typed, or even better, a console like in quake, jka/jk2 etc..
- Prevent client from having to reconnect to the server between map changes, which always (for me anyway) results in disconnection, and not being able to get back to that server.
*EDIT* also some more things,-
- All vehicles (Including aircraft, especially the Y-wing) lasers are too, fat.. and they move FAR too slow, also some of the sounds are wrong, like the AT-ST laser sounds, In the demo the laser sounds AND the animation was fine! what did you do to them!? I think the lasers need to be like in the demo, thin and fast.
- Voice commands?! where?! all I can command with voice command Is stupid mindless bots that get killed easier then squashing a bug with your hand.
and finally perhaps an improvement to the LAG! :(, thanx if you look at this devs.. Imo It seems you rushed this game so you could sell It with the StarWars Trilogy... ... :mad:
How about an in-game console?
Basically (I'm speaking of the pc game here) we need a way to tweak the cameras, specifically the third person cameras for the vehicles. Most of them don't show you enough of the terrain or the back of the vehicle, making movement and aiming difficult. For example the Speeder bike on Endor. It's bad enough that your vision is obscured so you can't see more than 4 feet in front of you at best and you ram into a tree and die, etc.
See a game like Jedi Academy for a better third person camera for vehicles (AT-ST, Swoop bikes, starfighters).
The starships aren't too bad, though they are pretty fragile (as if the shields are inoperative). I guess they did that so that the anti-aircraft blasters could take them out easier.
My main complaints with the game other than the bad third person cameras is the AI in general. It's bad. Your squad often ignores your orders, they shoot you in the back, they firing at walls (trying to hit enemies behind the walls) or just stand around in the open, even when enemies are nearby, with their backs to them.
Jedi will stand with their back facing you and block shots behind their backs (Mace Windu doesn't even block, the shots just bounce off his body most of the time). They will ignore you once you enter a vehicle. They don't listen to orders either. Not that Vader should be taking orders from a Stormtrooper, but what good is a unit if it doesn't do what you want it to? They just wander around and fight an occasional person only if they feel like it.
There need to be more orders, look at games like Quake3 or UT, there's tons of stuff you could have the bots do, but instead you just get basic stuff and they don't even do it most of the time. Bots giving other bots isn't something beyond technology either.. it's been done in many other games.
I played through the game on Medium, and I was very disappointed in the AI of the bots. They were mostly counterproductive, forcing me to do all the work. And we'd lose because the enemy simply has more cannon fodder than you do.
It would also be nice if there was a pop-up text message when you pickup something (like +10 health from Bacta or +5 grenades). Something like that would be a nice helpful touch. And the "full map" could that be up a little higher on the screen so you can still see your character, or does it have to be centered? If you toggle on the scoreboard, it stops you from moving. In other games you can still move while looking at the scores. I wish you could here too...
And one minor nitpick... it looks like they gave the Darktrooper E-11 blaster rifles instead of the "Cannon" they are supposed to have. Did they not have time to make one more weapon model? We have Dark Trooper weapons seen prominently in games like Rebellion and Dark Forces.
I had a couple of other minor problems with the game like the scroll bars (they don't act like normal scroll bars, you click on them and they jump around. there's no real "button" to click and drag or at least an "arrow" at the bottom or top of the page to move around). My Microsoft Intellimouse Optical wouldn't let me properly remap my mouse buttons, and it didn't recognize buttons 3, 4 & 5.
Finally, when trying to setup an Internet game I am only given the option to have 8 (or rather 7, but I assume that means besides the host.. ie: me) players, and 32 bots. How are people hosting 32 player or 16 player games? LAN lets me host 50 players, but I'm not on a LAN so little good that does me...
PS: I found out why the numbers were limited, it's based on the "bandwidth speed" you select in online options.
It would be nice to just put those two options together in the advanced server setup to prevent having to menu hop so much to get setup.
The console needs kick/warn/ban abilities for admins and if voting is enabled, it should be SELECTIVE (ie: admins choose what options to allow people). Vote kicking should only be for people on your own team (to prevent abuse).
Likewise, short term spawn invulnerability (or bonus health that counts down when you spawn) should be implemented, but like UT2k4, it should cancel itself if you fire (to prevent people abusing it).
Moding tools would also be nice, so far we don't have official word on whether or not it's even allowed officially.
I think i agree with all of this.

Hello all,
I've just begun to try and figure out how to create WordPress layouts. Right now, I am struggling on how to get the footer to extend across both of my columns. I'm at a loss for what I am not doing!
This picture illustrates the problem
clear: both;
padding: 10px 0 0 0;
float: left;
height: 50px;
background: #413d32; }
This is my footer coding. I've also tried fiddling with the sidebar, but nothing I've done there has affected it either.

Re: Xecuter J-R Programmer *NOW SHIPPING*

so i used old usb spi flasher and read and wrote perfect on all 3 consoles with nandpro20d. so you tell me if there is a problem.

Re: Xecuter J-R Programmer *NOW SHIPPING*
Like the instructions tell you - unplug the usb cable - move the switch to the right - replug the cable. The LED will then be green (if the firmware is programmed correctly)
if it is not green then you need to update the firmware (switch to the left). The red LED indicates that it is in bootloader mode and/or the firmware is blank/corrupt and of course will not work with any NAND functions.
if you are sure its faulty then simply send it back for testing and you will be told if it is faulty or if you were doing something wrong. Either way you are covered.
6th May 12 #143
Re: Xecuter J-R Programmer *NOW SHIPPING*
it will not switch no matter what. i have tried all your suggestions with no luck. it is programed properly(hex file loaded in red mode)
i can leave it unplugged for minutes and switch to green (nand mode) will rarely ever switch to green.
even when i am lucky and it goes green i still cant write any nand with out errors. will read perfect.
also it is not my soldering. i can use old usb spi and read and write perfect.
i had to write my orig nands back in nandpro. i was getting e71 on all 3 consoles where image was wrote with jr with over 25 errors in the 1st 50 blocks
used 20d to write orignal nand back no bad blocks.
i am sure it is faulty i just want another one but xconsols rejected my claim
this is from xconsoles with out any reason

Re: Xecuter J-R Programmer *NOW SHIPPING*
for all of you guys that cant stand waiting for the correct JTAG Cable to program your CoolRunners - if you have the skills to install RGH - you should be able to do this!
Cut the end off (the white plug that doesn't fit) and solder direct to the back! (you can always desolder it when your replacement cable turns up)
Ohh - I too had drivers issue due the to fact i Have a Nand-x so followed the supplied instructions here http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/s...&postcount=140 and installed the drivers without any further problems
Works like a charm
Of course - if you like to keep things standard - wait for your replacement cable to turn up!
And for the record - just used the J-R Programmer to do a slim RGH with J-Runner : No problems, flawless performance - for the money, it does what it says on the tin!

Just an FYI-
I ordered a JR programmer from VGC Repairs and it arrived today with two coolrunner cables and both had the wrong connector!
I sent them an email and I am waiting for their response.

Re: Xecuter J-R Programmer *NOW SHIPPING*
Hello , i have a JR Programmer ( i think it the very first model ) can you confirm i have the correct cables ? Can i use this for all current consoles or should i get the v2 ? I'm not interested in speed , just compatibility
Can i use mine with the v3 QSB's for Fat / Trinity / Corona ?

Skull Style: Skulls in Contemporary Art and Design
Product Actions
Skull Style is a brilliantly designed table book that highlights not only one of the most ancient symbols in the history of mankind, but also its overwhelming presence in modern society. An emblem of evil and mortality in past times, the skull has been transformed into an avant-garde design element displayed in the most cutting-edge art, chic interiors and vanguard style of the moment. Whether embellished on high fashion tee shirts, woven on limited edition furniture, or encrusted with diamonds and gemstones, the skull is no longer just a daunting memento of our frail mortality, but a critical figure of fashion.
