Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Kat Slater does it again with hot ladies, great sex and top-notch production values.
Director Kat Slater ferrets out talent who'll give her the performances she's looking for - and puts her hands into the action enough that she should soon qualify as one of the stars herself!
All the scenes are threeways, starting out with girl-play, then adding the guy, and of course the titular cum-swapping conclusion - but what's as impressive as the action is the crystal-clear image quality and the sensual use of close-ups, both of which drive this into AAAA territory.
Best of show are the McKenzie Lee/Alicia Rhodes and Lucy Love/Camilla match-ups, both with plenty of anal, but really, all the scenes are HOT! Pre-nom for Best Gonzo.

I think this worked so well for me because Adrian gave me the tools I needed to fix my every day life, instead of try to lock me in as an on-going 'passive' patient, as others can.

Venus, like the rest of the galaxy, isn't able to support life and therefore isn't interesting. At the bottom paragraph of the trope description, it states that the world must be able to support humans.

There's this book... yeah, I know, everyone remembers a book they can tell you all about, except the title and who wrote it... Anyway, it's a friggin Death World where a research base has been established but is in constant peril of being invaded by the local microfauna. Getting a little hole in your armored environment suit while outdoors is a sure fire trip to being dead, slowly and agonizingly. The macroscopic lifeforms, plant and animal, can be defended against but the microbes - not so well. Eventually they break through all efforts at keeping them out. The protagonist is a young woman who has been inoculated against everything imaginable and also has other stuff added to fight off come what may. She's an experiment to try and come to terms with the hostile world in order to enable a human colony to survive. Everyone dies in the end anyway, with some tropes of stupid/evil variety enabling inimical life from the planet to get to the space station. Quite some time later another expedition arrives, much better prepared, then the book ends.

WordPress 3.9-beta3 bug report (I hope this is the right place to report)
Adding JetPack Gallery widget to the sidebar does not allow selecting images. Clicking on the button "Choose Images" does not produce any response.
Browser Firefox 28.0
To which sidebar you are referring?
I am referring to the sidebar of my theme. That's where I see the widget, I drag the widget to the sidebar, then click on "Choose Images" button to pick some images. But nothing happens. My site is:
Which way are you editing/adding widgets? Via the widgets.php page or the post customizer?
Have you tested on other themes?
Have you tested with other plugins turned off?
I explained what I did, but here it goes again: I dragged the widget to the sidebar. That can be done, as far as I know, in the Appearance/Widgets screen.
No, I have not tested it on other themes,
No, I have not tested with other plugins turned off.
I get the sensation that this widget drag and drop must be working for you. Are you able to choose images by clicking on the button with that name? If so, what I see may be an anomaly. I reported what I experienced, it seems I may continue to experience the same problem. Luckily, I don't depend on that widget for anything, in fact I don't even use it. It was a dumb luck try.
I gave you the wrong URL, the beta version of WP is running on my testbed site which happens to use the same theme as my main site, my apologies:
Since my last response, I have disabled other plugins (only two others were running) and that did not fix the problem. Then I tried two other themes, another one from StudioPress and Twenty Fourteen , and the same problem persisted. So, it is not other plugin or theme dependent. By the way, between my two posts my WordPress beta was updated to 3.9 beta3 27857-20140330
Some themes have a custom drag/dropper so I have to ask :/
Took me a minute to reproduce. I've poked the Jetpack theme abotu this one for you. Not sure if it's trunk or them.
I had posted on their support forum as well, thank you for poking them again. So you can indeed reproduce the problem, that's good (in a strange kind of way!)
Thanks for the report. I've opened the issue on our bug tracker at https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/437
Nah, we expect stuff like this to happen :D
Marking resolved since there's a ticket (and Brandon will open one with WP trac if needed)
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Running Time: 142 Min.
Director: Kevin Moore

DVD Extras: Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies)
Cast: Kaylynn, Kristal Summers, Victoria White, Jynx Maze, Christian XXX, Eric Masterson, Melanie Rios, Lily Carter, Tommy Gunn, Cece Stone, Ella Milano, Carolyn Reese, Alec Knight, Eric John, Amanda Blow
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
Specialty Type: Older Women/Younger Girls
Young Lily is going door to door offering training services when she encounters two very wild animals. Jynx falls right into a couple's perverted trap. Lucky for her, they give her a real easy way out. Melanie could really use the help of a tutor but to her surprise she becomes the hands on subject. Ella is locked out of her house when a couple spots her. Back at their house she discovers they wanted more than to just wait with her. Victoria and her boyfriend are caught hanging at the neighbor's pool. Are the neighbors angry or have they found a clever way to get rid of her man?
Decent but overly lit scenes of cougars and their mates seducing and banging the heck out of younger women.
Eric Masterson's cock completely freaks out Ella Milano, but Amanda Blow helps her along by sucking it. Their three-way is energetic. Lily Carter is a dog walker and Kristal Summers and Christian XXX get her to demonstrate her training techniques, which naturally leads to sex. Carter is no Cesar Millan, but she cums hard in doggie. Alec Knight and Kaylynn giggle with pleasure when Melanie Rios comes over for a tutoring job. Kaylynn is soon reveling at showing Rios her oral prowess, and it's a fun scene, with the competitive nature of the fucking making it the most interesting scene here.
Tommy Gunn and MILF deluxe Carolyn Reese trick Jynx Maze into giving in to her carnal needs with a three-way.

I cut the chicken into cubes for an appetizer and it was a hit! I think I may try it sometime as a main dish over rice. Amazingly simple and delicious. I also, used Splenda brown sugar as one of our guests is a diabetic. It was still delicious and, unitl I told them, no one knew the difference.

Teachers and state workers may be only days away from having a new healthcare plan in place that would keep benefits and premiums at their current levels, and keep Vanderbilt Hospital covered by state insurance.
A plan proposed by Gov. Fletcher would have cut Vanderbilt from the list of insured care centers, and state workers say it would have raised their premiums and cut benefits. Fletcher called the General Assembly back into special session to address the problem, beginning October 5.
House Speaker Jody Richards (D)-Bowling Green told WBKO Thursday afternoon that the final House bill would come to a vote by the end of the day, and would head to the Senate.
Here are some highlights of the proposal, as quoted by Speaker Richards:
- Cost approx. $160 million more than Gov. Fletcher's plan (to come from more than $300 million in unexpected tax revenues)
- Includes most popular plan from this year
- Includes Vanderbilt Hospital under insurance coverage
- Includes three percent pay raise for teachers
- Keeps premiums and benefits within current price range
The Senate says it agrees in principle with the plan, but is holding out on a final fixed price tag before voting it through.
Richards says the earliest the bill could become final would be Monday. The General Assembly faces a deadline of early next week to finish the plan so that workers can enroll over the next three to four weeks in order to have their insurance cards in hand by January 1, 2005.

Re-labeling condemned foods is a multi-billion dollar dog food fraud that could kill your pet and destroy legitimate American pet food companies.
Nel Liquorman, Health Editor / TheDogPress © 07|27|09
We have uncovered well-known pet food brands in plentiful supply at closeout and salvage locations and due to recycling fraud, they could be on your grocer's shelves. Even major dog food brands are under heavy scrutiny so regard unusual discounts and new brands with suspicion. Learn how to protect your pets.
In addition to putting your pet at
great risk, pet food fraud could further challenge our failing economy. In the past, we have seen taxpayers stuck with the bills for cleaning up toxic waste. This could happen again due to poorly monitored recycling of condemned or recalled dog food.
According to the American Medical
Veterinary Assoc. there are more than
282 million pets in America, owned by
nearly 60% of the population. Imagine
the staggering economic ramifications if
major pet food producers were added to
the list of failed American
corporations. Would the government
subsidize them?

As the jabs between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich grew harsher, many prominent Republicans wondered if the ugly turn the GOP race was taking would hurt the Republican candidate in the general election.
Based on a new poll, they could be onto something.
The president leads Mitt Romney 51 percent to 45 percent, based on a new poll conducted by The Washington Post and ABC News. This is not only the first time President Obama has led in this poll, but the first time either candidate has had a majority in a hypothetical general election matchup.
Obama's job approval rating rose in the poll to its highest level in Washington Post/ABC polls since just after Osama bin Laden was killed. About 50 percent approve of the job he is doing as president.
Obama's gains in the new poll come as Romney's grip on the GOP nomination is strengthening, with a commanding victory in Florida, followed by an easy win in Nevada. While rival Newt Gingrich insists the pendulum will swing back in his favor once the Southern states start voting in March, a sense of inevitability is once again swirling around Romney's campaign.
The poll also found that the more voters get to know Romney, the more they dislike him. But that is even more true for Gingrich.
By about 2 to 1, respondents said they disapprove of Romney as they get to know him but Gingrich has 3 to 1 disapproving.
The Romney campaign said Monday said the former Massachusetts governor's numbers were unfairly depressed because the poll used flawed questioning.
The results of the Obama-Romney matchup are "clearly tainted by the questions asked immediately prior to the ballot, resulting in what some would call a "pushed" ballot. A pollster can't ask or suggest specific negatives on a candidate immediately prior to a ballot test and expect to get anything other than a biased result," said Neil Newhouse, a well-known Republican pollster working for the Romney campaign.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) - Seven paratroopers, including two
Florida men, are facing an investigative hearing into the death of
another soldier at their North Carolina post.
The 82nd Airborne Division said the hearing, known as an
"Article 32" proceeding, was planned Friday at Fort Bragg for
five of the soldiers. Two other soldiers will face a similar
hearing in February.
The seven soldiers were charged with involuntary manslaughter,
which carries a maximum 10-year sentence. Division commander Major
General Curtis M. Scaparrotti will decide whether to convene a
formal trial, or court-martial, for any or all of the soldiers
after he receives the hearing officer's recommendation.
A division spokesman said the hearing was expected to last
several days.

Air Combat by Remote Control
Indian Springs, Nev.
The sniper never knew what hit him. The Marines patrolling the street below were taking fire, but did not have a clear shot at the third-story window that the sniper was shooting from. They were pinned down and called for reinforcements.
Help came from a Predator drone circling the skies 20 miles away. As the unmanned plane closed in, the infrared camera underneath its nose picked up the muzzle flashes from the window. The sniper was still firing when the Predator's 100-pound Hellfire missile came through the window and eliminated the threat.
The airman who fired that missile was 8,000 miles away, here at Creech Air Force Base, home of the 432nd air wing. The 432nd officially "stood up," in the jargon of the Air Force, on May 1, 2007. One year later, two dozen of its drones patrol the skies over Iraq and Afghanistan every hour of every day. And almost all of them are flown by two-man crews sitting in the air-conditioned comfort of a "ground control station" (GCS) in the Nevada desert.
Col. Chris Chambliss, 49, was an F-16 pilot for 20 years before being tapped as the 432nd's first wing commander. He can tell you -- to the day -- the last time he flew an F-16 (March 29, 2007), but he insists he has no regrets about giving up his cockpit for the earthbound GCS of the Predator and its big sibling, the Reaper. "It's much more fun," Col. Chambliss admits, "to climb up a ladder and strap on an airplane than it is to walk into a GCS and sit down." But the payoff comes, he contends, in far greater effectiveness "in the fight."
"In that F-16 squadron that I was in," he says, "you'd come into that squadron for three years, and you might deploy once or twice for 120 days into the theater," but after 120 days, normal military rotations would require you to come back, rest and retrain. So in a three-year tour, an airman might be deployed for eight months or a year.
Col. Chambliss's Predator and Reaper squadrons don't have that problem. Out of 250 aviators, they might deploy eight of them to Iraq or Afghanistan at any given time to take off and land the planes -- a task that still has to be done locally. The rest of the pilots and crew men work shifts at Creech, flying for eight hours before handing the plane off to the next shift. This means that at any given moment a squadron of drones is using 80% of its assets in combat, compared to perhaps 30% for an F-16 squadron.
It's this effectiveness multiplier that led Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recently to call on the Air Force to put every available Predator into the air in Iraq. But how we got here is itself a story of innovation and creative thinking going back more than a decade. It's a story that shows how even the military can do more with less, starting with the modestly priced $4.2 million airframe originally designed as a reconnaissance vehicle.
Predators were first deployed in Bosnia in 1996. At the time, they were limited to the line of sight of their base stations. But in 2003, two things happened to expand the range of possibilities by an order of magnitude. For one, the Air Force routed the signal from the satellite downlink via fiber-optics. This allowed them to put the ground control stations -- the cockpits -- anywhere in the world that a fiber connection was available. Also that year, as the Iraq invasion was gearing up, the Air Force decided to try strapping a Hellfire missile on the Predator, transforming it from a reconnaissance role into a multipurpose weapon.
Today, the Reaper, which went into service in Afghanistan last September (a year ahead of schedule), can carry nearly the same payload as an F-16 -- typically two 500-pound laser-guided bombs and four Hellfires.
These are early days for unmanned aerial warfare. The 432nd is only one year old, and its mission continues to evolve. The 42nd Attack Squadron -- the Reaper squadron -- is still young, and still small, with only enough men and equipment to keep two planes at a time in the skies over Afghanistan.
Col. Chambliss compares the situation to the early decades of manned flight. "You know how fast things went from the end of the First World War to the end of the Second World War, how aviation, the capabilities vastly increased. That's where we're sitting right now. . . . I have no doubt when I'm sitting in my rocking chair, a retired old guy, I will be sitting there going, 'You've got to be kidding me.'"

I installed Multisite a couple of days back (converted an existing installation to Multisite to be precise). I want that users should be able to register on the network but not create their own sites. I chose that options (of user accounts but not blogs being created) but there seems to be some problem.
The http://www.MAINSITE.com/wp-signup.php page is malfunctioning. It shows a form for users to fill in their username and email address, but doesn't add users to database.
Looks like it runs the function function validate_user_form() as it can return errors like username already in use etc. but doesn't run the function wpmu_signup_user and confirm_user_signup($user_name, $user_email)
Any idea what could be causing this problem?

Hey Mime Type Link Icon Maker,
I am new to using WordPress, and on top of being new, I'm trying to use wordpress as a CMS, content management platform ( a very basic one at first) I am in the architecture profession so I have no code training, but have spent quite a few hours sifting through code to try understand how WordPress and CSS, PHP etc works.
My question to you is how easy it would be to add another icon set or sets? Either from a user download end or from you the developer? I downloaded your plugin and tried it and works great, but I was just curious and haven't really looked through the code too hard yet.
And did you simply resize the icon images without worrying about resolution? not that it should matter because they're pretty small, but I was just curious, if i ended up putting in my own icons if there is some sort of a database of these icons at all sizes or if you have to make them.... again, newbie here.
icon sets I am possibly looking into:
Otherwise, very handy plugin, keep up the good work!

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: May 01st, 1989
Running Time: 85
Director: Kirdy Stevens
Company: Intropics Video
Cast: Susanna French, Mai Lin, Randy West, Lysa Thatcher, Tigr, Herschel Savage, Jamie Gillis, Jessie Adams
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Film
A very young Randy West, who plays writer Ben Brookfield, breaks out into song out of nowhere during a book signing, and you know you're in for a weird viewing experience. Taboo VII, subtitled The Wild and the Innocent, has nothing to do with the themes of the very successful Taboo series, but is an allright film in its own right.
Filmed several years back, but never released on video until now, director Kirdy Stevens proves that he knows movie-making once again, as this was shot on film. His sex scenes are well-developed a nicely shot and a few of them are very hot. Jamie Gillis and Mai Lin have an extended stint, while Randy West, Susanna French and Lysa Thatcher warm up an already steamy hot tub. There's even a wacky orgy with strains of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries providing a backdrop.
West plays the best-selling romance author who runs into old flame (whom he never screwed) Lysa Thatcher for some reminiscences about their days at Whitestone, a sexually free commune/school where everything from sex with paint to outdoor lust takes precedence over academic achievement. The story basically follows the flashbacks until the film-ending threeway where Thatcher and West finally consummate their relationship.
While the age of the film doesn't really detract from its carnal pleasures, it is nice to see French and Thatcher, two pros of 1970's porn, once again. Herschel Savage has a funny cameo and the direction is pretty much competent. As a throwback to the days when adult movies were, in fact, really movies, Taboo VII is recommended. But it's not a Taboo movie in the true sense and retailers would be wise to let their customers know. Unique, alluring packaging should make it move.

President Barack Obama spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel by phone on Thursday about the situation in Ukraine, the offices of both leaders said.
Obama and Merkel agreed during the call that Russia should use its influence on armed groups in eastern Ukraine to calm the situation, a German government spokeswoman said on Thursday.
"Both shared their worries given current developments in eastern Ukraine, so they called on Russia to help contribute to a de-escalation," the spokeswoman, Christiane Wirtz, said in an email. "They said Russia in particular should use its influence on armed groups in eastern Ukraine to calm the situation," Wirtz said.
Obama and Merkel spoke around 1400 GMT (10 a.m. EDT), before the United States, Russia, Ukraine and the European Union issued a statement calling for an end to the violence in Ukraine.

Staff Reports
The Virginia Farm Bureau and police in Southwest Virginia are urging farmers to be on the lookout for marijuana "trespass grows" on their property.
Among rows of corn and between hay bales all over the region, growers are planting marijuana without the land owners' knowledge.
According to a report issued by the Galax Police Department, arrests last week included drug and firearms violations and revocation of a suspended sentence.
Karen Sue Hawks, 44, of Lowgap, N.C., was charged on July 15 by Sgt. Shawny Jones for two counts of possession or transportation of firearms or ammunition by a convicted felon. The arrest resulted from a traffic stop conducted by Jones.
What started as a prayer vigil to bring together law enforcement and the black community in a show of unity during a turbulent time has grown into a movement.
Encouraged by the turnout and the positive reaction to the Peace Prayer Vigil in Hillsville on July 10, Pastor Daniel Harrison of Elk Spur Church in Fancy Gap has launched Hearts United. The group is planning a similar unity vigil on Sunday in Galax.
Staff Report
Appalachian Power will close access to the New River at Byllesby Dam in Carroll County to allow for completion of construction work.
According to a release from John Shepelwich, media contact for Appalachian Power, the Byllesby portage and public boat ramp on the New River will be closed effective immediately. The closure began on July 19.
The Commonwealth Transportation Board has added two new projects in Carroll County to the Virginia Department of Transportation's six-year plan. These projects include U.S. 52 North spot improvements and Cranberry Road improvements.
INDEPENDENCE ― George Albert Harper III, who was charged with first-degree murder in the 2002 shooting death of Brandon Billings, has pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury for giving conflicting testimony to Grayson County grand juries.
As a result, the prosecution will not go forward with the murder charge against Harper and a charge for using a firearm in commission of a felony was amended to reflect one of the two perjury charges.
A large chunk of the old maple tree planted at the Galax Farmers' Market fell on Wednesday afternoon around 2:30 p.m., blocking traffic but causing no injury.
Officer Jason Hawks of the Galax Police Department was on hand to secure the area until the city could cut up the wood and haul it away.
At the July 11 Carroll County Public Service Authority meeting, the PSA set a public hearing on Sept. 12 to hear comments on increases to residential and commercial water and sewer rates.
"If we do not raise our water rates to some level, we will not be eligible for grants," said authority member Tom Littrell.
The meeting will take place at the Carroll Board of Supervisors' conference room on the second floor of the Carroll County Complex (the site of regular PSA meetings) at 3 p.m.
Teams roll into downtown Galax for Smoke on the Mountain starting Thursday afternoon, like an army setting up camp before a major, if very festive, battle.
Among the veterans of this particular challenge are Kings Cooking from Shelby, N.C. According to Smoke's chief organizer, Ron Passmore, the team has been involved since the beginning, and their presence was a large part of why the competition took off 12 years ago.
This year's Smoke was held July 15-16.
A six-vehicle accident at the 5 mile marker of Interstate 77 southbound on July 12 at 1:30 p.m. resulted in one man being transported for treatment with injuries and hefty damage to the vehicles, but no casualties, according to Virginia State Trooper J.A. Vaughan.

CES 2014: ASUS ThunderboltEX II Expansion Card
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2014 - 04:01 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: ThunderboltEX II, Thunderbolt 2, CES 2014, CES, asus
It has been a rocky road for the ASUS Thunderbolt EX expansion card(s). Development was not a problem. They were created but could not be released because of Intel certification woes (because those never happen). The specific reason was never identified but they did hold back releases until after Intel designed a reference add-in card (AIC) for select Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) partners.
No need to stew over my alphabet soup.
ASUS has now announced the ThunderboltEX II expansion card which is the first Intel-certified AIC providing a single Thunderbolt 2 port. Despite the multitude of delays, ASUS should still be first to market albeit a market where USB 3.0 became fairly ubiquitous (a lot can happen in a one-year exclusivity). The Thunderbolt EXII is rated at 20 Gbps. The card will be compatible with certain 8-series motherboards from ASUS.
A dual-port AIC, the ThunderboltEX II/DUAL, is also announced.
Still not much on pricing or availability. All we know is that the ThunderboltEX II should be the first to market and the DUAL will come at some point after that.

CES 2014: ASUS S1 Mobile LED Projector & SBW-S1
Subject: General Tech, Displays, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2014 - 04:00 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: projector, DLP, CES 2014, CES, asus
And now, for a much different display.
This one has nothing to do with 4K or G-Sync. This is a relatively tiny DLP projector with a built-in rechargeable battery. It is designed to be portable and even connect to MHL-compliant tablets and smartphones. The enclosed battery is expected to last three hours on a single charge or, if using the phone has more need for power than the projector, it can charge your mobile device from its battery.
The projector is capable of producing a 41-inch image with only 3 feet of throw distance. It also has an integrated speaker. The SBW-S1 Blu-Ray drive is a companion product to playback high-definition optical disks with the projector (and maybe other devices?). It includes a Xonar sound card and headphone amplifier although I am not sure the use case for a playing Blu-Rays on a 41-inch projector wearing headphones.
The S1 Projector has an MSRP of $319. No availability information yet. Also, no pricing or availability on the Blu-ray drive, either.

CES 2014: ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q (120+ Hz, G-Sync)
Subject: General Tech, Displays, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2014 - 03:18 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: g-sync, CES 2014, CES, asus
Another G-Sync panel has been announced at CES. This one is not a standard 1080p panel, which is promising, rather a bump in resolution to WQHD 2560x1440 while still reaching "120+ Hz". It is still based on TN pixels but the resolution is different so at least that is progress. Perhaps we will see some IPS (or similar) displays later? Hopefully? I'm serious, I do not have inside information.
The SWIFT PG278Q is 27-inch with a narrow (6mm) bezel. The stand allows for tilt, swivel, height, and pivot adjustments which could be useful if you want to present portrait images or handle long documents. That said, I was really looking forward to pivot when I purchased my most recent monitor (last year) and eventually found that it was more convenient to use two documents side-by-side with Aero snap.
One feature that ASUS added to the panel was "GamePlus" which would probably not be the best to use in a LAN party. It enables custom crosshairs and timers on screen. I am sure that someone will interpret that as cheating (especially for games which disable crosshairs such as Battlefield 4 "hardcore"). They claim it is a practice tool, which I will accept, just use it in public at your own risk.
The monitor will be available in Q2 for $799 USD.

CES 2014: Digital Storm Bolt II SFF Steam Machine
Subject: General Tech, Systems, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2014 - 12:00 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: SteamOS, Digital Storm, CES 2014, CES
Another big expectation coming into CES, this year, was the announcement of Steam Machines. We have already seen a few announcements but most of those were just teasers of what is to come at the event. Unlike our fears with G-Sync, many of the products we have seen differ from one-another and attack specific niches. One attaches to the back of your TV while another is a pretty beefy system with a console price-tag.
This one is another small form factor (SFF) machine that includes both SteamOS and Windows to access both libraries. The Digital Storm Bolt II goes after the high end with a factory-overclocked CPU and easily accessible (their claim, I cannot form an opinion without using it) graphics card, storage, optical drive, and cooling system. They do stress the cooling capabilities of their SFF design so it would seem that was their development priority.
I am somewhat confused about the default dual-install, however. Everything special about SteamOS will be ported to the Steam Client so the main advantage of leaving Windows would be to access Linux-exclusive games. That does not seem like much of a market at least for the moment. I expect that, unless Microsoft completely blows away their own foot, anything that comes out for SteamOS will also be released on Windows. I would expect this feature to come much further down the line. It is certainly not a bad thing, however, apart from a little recovered harddrive space.
Apparently the device will be available soon, this month, with an $1899 MSRP.

CES 2014: Increased M.2 SSD presence at Storage Visions
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2014 - 02:32 AM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: ssd, M.2, CES 2014, CES
During our roam of Storage Visions we noticed a bit of a trend. Of the limited devices on display, an increasing number of them were of the M.2 form factor. Our first sighting of an M.2 device was last CES, at a Micron press briefing. Since then, we have only seen a few announcements of support for this form factor. The key to M.2 is that host will be able to support both SATA and PCIe connectivity through the same physical port. While many of the SSDs available will start off using well-known SATA controllers, M.2 will make the transition to PCIe storage controllers significantly easier.
Here are some of the M.2 devices we spotted. First a couple from SanDisk:
M.2 makes things a bit simpler as far as PCB size goes. Where mSATA had a bunch of random names denoting various sized, M.2 simply puts the dimensions (in mm) right after the name. For example, M.2 2260 is 22mm wide band 60mm in length. Below are some more examples from various vendors:
Above we see samples from Toshiba (upper left), Kingston (center left), and Intel (two right). We also spoted an engineering sample of an M.2 Intel 1500 Pro:
The part number of this unit is CVDA321500BX180H, and like other 1500 Pro models it is equipped with a newer low-power SandForce 2281.
Here's hoping these devices trickle out into the mainstream. Standardization should help with adoption and upgradeability, especially in Ultrabooks and smaller devices incorporating these units.

CES 2014: Philips 27" 144Hz Monitor with G-Sync
Subject: General Tech, Displays, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2014 - 11:50 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: philips, g-sync, CES 2014, CES
One of the big questions we had leading into CES was exactly how many G-Sync panels we would see. If several monitor developers sign on then we would assume that it has a bright future. If we can count the number of models on one hand (and all of them 1080p TN-based panels) then we would have serious doubts.
Philips has just contributed a monitor to the mix: the 272G5DYEB; however, it is a 27-inch 1080p panel based on TN technology. It is capable of 144 Hz refresh rate and will be available in Spring. Its only input is DisplayPort as is common with G-Sync. There is not too much different about this panel compared to the ASUS version which has recently been made available. Hopefully this will be one of many announcements.
The Philips 27" Gaming Monitor with G-SYNC (272G5DYEB) will be available in Spring 2014 for $649 USD.

CES 2014: Lenovo Storage - Beacon and... px4-400d?
Subject: General Tech, Storage, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2014 - 10:23 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: NAS, Lenovo, CES 2014, CES, Beacon
Lenovo is set to release several PCs including All-in-Ones (AIOs), phones, laptops, and tablets as we have previously reported on. They are also not forgetting their business customers with several interesting products including a cheap 4K monitor. Of course, all of these devices are nothing without content which means storage is a necessity. Lenovo briefed us on two such products however one is curiously absent from the show floor (and subsequent press decks).
The Lenovo Beacon Home Cloud Centre, properly spelled in the Queen's English, is a remote storage device and a home theater (not Queen's English) hub. The device, pre-loaded with XBMC, is based on Linux and can hold up to 6TB of internal hard drives. Up to two disks can be loaded into its bays and it does not care whether they are 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch form factors. The Beacon supports either RAID 1 or RAID 0 if you cannot remember our old meme with Colleen.
For performance, the Beacon can be powered by "up to" an Intel Atom dual core processor and up to 1 GB of RAM. They do not specify the type of Atom processor. That said, it does not have to do very much. As long as it can keep a stutter-free stream out of its HDMI plug while delivering content to other devices over the network, I doubt anyone could load it any harder.
The Lenovo Beacon will be available in April for $199 USD.
The other product mentioned was the LenovoEMC px4-400d Network Storage. This device is a small form factor computer fit with a dual core Intel Atom D2701 processor from 2011. It can be fit with up to 16 TB of storage (or sold empty). It is, or at least was, expected to launch this month from $649 USD (which we assume is the "bring your own drive" model). We are still unsure what happened with it.

CES 2014: Connected Data shows Transporter and new Transporter Sync at Storage Visions

At Storage Visions, we checked out the Connected Data Transporter as well as the recently launched Transporter Sync:
I love the idea of having DropBox-like functionaity without having to pay a bunch for a large amount of storage. Keeping that data under your own control is a good idea as well. The only thing missing from this equation is off-site backup, so be sure you are covered there in case anything happens to the location where the Transporter device is stored.

While at Storage Visions I checked out the new SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive. This is a flash drive capable as also doubling as a wireless network storage device - and it can do so under it's own power for 3-4 hours.
I really like the idea of such a device. Need several people to access the stuff on your drive? Click one button and you can! It charges off of the same USB connection used to connect it locally (i.e. the 'old school' way). Here's a closer view:

CES 2014: A quick word with Samsung on SSD Magician, Firmware Updates, and Full Drive Encryption

Tagged: SSD Magician, Samsung, CES 2014, CES
While at Storage Visions, I had a quick word with Chris Geiser of Samsung. Over the past few weeks there have been updates to 840 (PRO / EVO) SSD Firmware as well as to their SSD Magician software. These updates enable increased performance as well as full drive encryption (with no performance loss whatsoever). Check out the video below for full details:
So long story short, if you own these drives, consider updating your Magician Software, SSD firmware, and start protecting your data with full drive encryption. As always with any firmware upgrade, even though Samsung updates are non-destructive, it's a good idea to back up first regardless.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Firefighters were on the scene Sunday afternoon (7/8) of a blaze that erupted on the Ameripride Linen and Apparel's property.
It happened just outside of the facility, at 123 SE Madison. The cleaner stores the dirty laundry outside of the Ameripride building near the trucks and the dumpsters, and officials say the oils in the rags caused the laundry to catch fire outside.
No one was injured, but there was damage to some of the dumpsters, trucks and the laundry itself.

Credit reporting was the first industry targeted by the CFPB using its "larger participant" supervisory authority. As demonstrated by the CFPB's actions last week, credit reporting continues to be a high CFPB priority and is likely to remain as such for the foreseeable future.
On February 27, CFPB Director Richard Cordray delivered remarks before a meeting of the CFPB's Consumer Advisory Board. Mr. Cordray noted that the CFPB has issued a report providing a "Credit reporting complaint snapshot" showing that 11% of the total consumer complaints handled by the CFPB so far have been related to credit reporting.
Referring to the number of consumer complaints and the role that credit information plays in consumers' lives, Mr. Cordray stated that the CFPB has a "critical responsibility" to make sure that credit information is timely and accurate. Not only did Mr. Cordray discuss "the progress we are making to help ensure that people are being treated fairly in the credit reporting market," but he also emphasized that the CFPB is looking at "where we think more could be done."
Director Cordray described his recent outreach to credit card companies, calling for such companies to play a larger role in educating consumers by making consumers' credit scores and related content freely available to their customers. While acknowledging that they are not legally required to do so, Mr. Cordray indicated that the CFPB would consider the provision of free credit scores by credit card companies to be a "best practice" and one that he would like to see extended to other product lines. According to Mr. Cordray, providing free credit scores can "yield positive returns that outweigh the limited effort involved," because educated consumers are less likely to default and more likely to participate in the national credit economy. The text of his letter to the credit card companies is available here.
Mr. Cordray also referenced the CFPB's bulletin to companies that furnish information to consumer reporting agencies about their duty to investigate disputes. For more on the bulletin, see our blog post here.
The CFPB has indicated that its actions are motivated by its desire for both lenders and consumers to participate more fully in the credit reporting process so that the most timely and accurate information is available to make credit determinations, something the CFPB believes will result in benefits for the overall economy.

Red Dead Redemption is Rockstar's newest sandbox game, and it is a very good change up on the already popular GTA series. Let me start off by saying I have always been a huge fan of GTA games... until GTA IV. Tried and tried to play it, just could not get into it. Everything about it was wrong for me, and I know a lot of others felt the same. Sure RDR is very similar to GTA IV, yet everything about it is so much better.
Graphics are amazing, game play is easy to pick up and hard to put down, shooting system is improved, horse riding is intuitive, and hunting is a blast, just to name a few. This is GTA on steroids. Don't get me wrong, the huge cities and fancy sports cars were a ton of fun, but this is so much better. Set in the early 20th century, Red Dead Redemption takes place in the ever changing Wild West. Dusty old towns, bustling saloons, and family ranches are presented with such accuracy and clarity, you'd think you are back in the old west yourself!
Red Dead Redemption's scale is beyond HUGE!! The Wild West has never looked so good. There's a fullness to the sunsets that's so breathtaking you almost forget about the task at hand. The characters play a role nearly as big as the landscape, if not more. The dialog is smooth and witty, and the hometown feel of McFarlanes ranch only adds to the beauty.
There are so many side missions and quests, it's tough to get bored. From helping a stranded women on the side of the road, to tracking and shooting trophy bucks, there is truly something for everyone. Don't feel like shooting or riding around on your horse?Read more ›
I was a little nervous about it being in the old west because that wasn't something that sounded that interesting for a videogame. Believe me, I take it all back. It only takes 10-15 minutes from when you start until you're sucked in for good.
Not gonna lie: I'm not the best when it comes to some video games, and I'll admit that I may agree with others: The game can be a bit easy at times (Just warning those hardcore gamers who may say "Psh, way too easy!"). But there are so many things to do, and they are all so much fun thing to do that, in my opinion, who cares if it's a little easy.
Clearing up some issues I read from others:
Someone said that "It takes forevor to ride from town to town". Yes, this may sometimes be true, but you can hire a stagecoach for a small fee, OR set up camp in the wilderness and say "Travel to ________" for FREE! I prefer to ride from town to town because you may stumble into a group of deer you can hunt for money to purchase a new weapon or horse, or you may find an opportunity to help strangers to gain Fame and/or Honor.
Things to do:
Go on main missions, hunt, become a bounty hunter to bring back criminals (Dead or Alive! The choice is yours!Read more ›

Austin began skiing at age 4 at Mountain Creek (NJ). By the end of his first day he skied from the top of the mountain without assistance. At age 6, after two years on skis, Austin began snowboarding. The first season of snowboarding took place at Ski Big Bear in PA. Austin was quickly in the terrain park hitting kickers, boxes and rails. It all came very naturally to him as he began skateboarding at age 4.
At age 7 (2005/06 season), Austin was accepted into the Shawnee Mt. Developmental Program. While in the program Austin impressed the coaches to the point of being invited to compete in slope style competitions with the competition travel team. Austin competed in three events winning one Gold and two Silver medals.
During the 05/06 season Austin spent over 30 days practicing or competing in terrain parks and half pipes. He competed in one event at Shawnee and two events at Mountain Creek. Of the 5 competitors within his age bracket Austin finished number 1 in the year end slope style points for the Mid-Atlantic Series.
During the 06/07 season (Age 8) Austin competed in many USASA sanctioned events as well as numerous rail jams. It was during the 06/07 season that Austin began to make his name. Austin competed at the Oakley/Buckman's rail jam and placed second as an 8 year old in the 12 and under division. Austin competed in numerous other events, never placing outside of the finals. It was during this season as an 8 year old that Austin began to realize his potential and he became dedicated to the sport, spending over 45 days on the snow.
During the 07/08 season (Age 9) Austin competed in 10 events, located between Southern Vermont and Philadelphia including New York City's Winterfest in Central Park. Of the 10 events Austin finished in first place 5 times and was a finalist in all 10, including a third place finish in the 15 and under Division at the Powers Series Rail Jam at Okemo Mt., VT. Early in the 07/08 season Austin was featured in the Pocono Record as one of the best young riders in the Poconos.
In April of 2008 Austin began trampoline training with Guinness World Record Holder Ken Kovach. Austin trains on the trampoline with and without his snowboard, learning and perfecting flips and twists. Since July Austin has performed with World Class trampolinists as part of the SKYRIDERS! acrobatic
trampoline show, performing his snowboard maneuvers on the trampoline.
Austin completely dominated the competitions he was in during the 2008/2009 season. Out of the ten competitions he entered, he finished 1st in 9 of them. His slopestyle and halfpipe skills earned him the attention of even more sponsors and set him apart from the rest of his competitors.
Austin's most recent accomplishment during the 2010/2011 season was his 1st place win at USASA's Southern Vermont Series - Okemo Slopestyle & Superpipe. He placed first in the Slopestyle Breaker Boys Division (12 - 13) and the competition was steep. The Southern Vermont Series is one of the most competitive series in the country, drawing competitors from Stratton Mountain School, Killington Academy, Mount Snow Academy, etc. Congrats Austin and best of luck during the rest of the season!

Analysts Turn On Australian Coal Seam Gas
By David Rogers
Coal seam gas, or CSG, is attracting its fair share of criticism in Australia. Now, even the analysts are pitching in.
Citigroup says the controversial method of extracting gas is proving a headache for AGL Energy in New South Wales, or NSW, as its ability to pursue its exploration program in the Gloucester and Hunter basins is being hindered by community issues and the state government's "reluctance in taking a decisive stance" on the role of the technology in the long term.
A spokesperson for AGL was unreachable for comment.
Coal seam gas–trapped stores of methane hundreds of meters below the Earth's crust–is one of the world's hottest energy plays. Projects worth tens of billions of U.S. dollars are under construction in neighboring Queensland state to convert raw gas into liquefied natural gas for export to Asia. The rapid growth of the Queensland coal seam gas sector prompted several companies to explore the potential of coal-rich land in NSW.
But the rush into coal seam gas has ruffled feathers after some companies encroached on private land without permission. Extracting coal seam gas also involves removing large amounts of underground water to allow methane to flow to the surface. Farmers, environmental groups and some lawmakers fear that water containing naturally occurring toxins, or chemicals used in the drilling process, will contaminate shallower underground aquifers.
Concerns were elevated last year by a leak at Queensland well operated by Royal Dutch Shell and PetroChina. The companies said water didn't enter aquifers, but only spewed out at the surface before the leak was plugged in about a day. Still, the uncontrolled flow reinforced concerns that surface water bodies could be contaminated by untreated water.
Mid-last year, NSW imposed a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing–a process that involves injecting water, sand and small amounts of chemicals into surrounding rock to stimulate gas flow.
Energy companies like Santos say farmers are well compensated for allowing coal seam gas exploration and production on their land. They also point out that the industry isn't new to Australia and already meets 70% of Queensland's gas needs.
"Whilst we value AGK's NSW assets at cost, even this would be at risk should their ability to access the resource be further impeded," Citi says in a new report.
Citi cut its recommendation to "Neutral" from "Hold", while leaving its share price target at 16.10 Australian dollars (US$16.77).
This may be one of the first instances of an Australian corporate being downgraded by a major broker because of community concerns about CSG.
With a market capitalization of more than A$6 billion, AGL Energy controls Australia's largest natural gas and electricity and dual fuel customer base. It has also has substantial long-term gas supply contracts, and a growing portfolio of coal seam gas reserves. Its shares were something of a "safe haven" for investors last year, falling only 5.9% versus a 15% fall in the broader Australian share market.
AGL shares closed Thursday at A$14.65.

Paris Syndrome and Setting Travel Expectations
Recently on This Week In Travel, we came across a story about Japanese tourists who visit France and come down with something called "Paris Syndrome". Paris Syndrome is a condition that strikes tourists who visit a place and find that it doesn't live up to how they imagined it.
Some Japanese have a vision of Paris which comes from fashion magazines, television and movies. They assume everyone is thin and wears designer clothing all the time. When they arrive, they are shocked to see normal looking people wearing normal looking clothes. The added problems of cultural shocks, language differences and jet lag can result in some people becoming dizzy, depressed and having breakdowns.
This effects an average of one Japanese tourist to Paris each month. (more…)

When the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying groups were revealed, we all agreed that Canada's mission was simple; to qualify for the Hex, the men's national team didn't have to finish ahead of Mexico — that would be unrealistic. It only needed to be better than Honduras and El Salvador.
Canadian national-team coach Benito Floro, said the same thing — that Mexico would be off in its own world, and it was basically a three-team race for second place.
So, after Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Mexico at Azteca, Canada now has four points from four of six games played. That's the same point total as Honduras, and two up on El Salvador. Honduras holds a massive advantage in goal difference.
But this is all that matters: With games left against El Salvador (home) and Honduras (away), Canada still controls its own destiny. At the start of this group stage, we would have taken this scenario. Gladly. Two games left, and all to play for — with no games left against Mexico.
Honduras and El Salvador each have one game each left against the Mexicans. Worried that the Mexicans, who have already wrapped up top spot in Group A, will take it easy for those matches? Remember this: Mexico's rivalries with their Central American neighbours are super-heated. They hate El Salvador. They hate Honduras. And nothing would give the Mexicans more pleasure than to finish the group a perfect 6-0-0 and end Honduras's and El Salvador's World Cup dreams in the process.

A Michigan community college that this year banned all child sex offenders from enrolling will now meet with all students who are felons or whose name appears on the state's sex offender registry to determine if their enrollment should be revoked or their admission denied.
WASHINGTON -- In the aftermath of the 2004 murder of a University of North Carolina at Wilmington student by a classmate with a history of violence against women, the deceased student's family came to see the decision-making of the university's admissions office as one of the major factors leading to her death.
SAN FRANCISCO – Colleges do a relatively good job of preventing cashiers and low-level employees from stealing, but they're largely inept when it comes to monitoring mid- and upper-level managers who are the most likely to perpetrate significant fraud at an institution, an expert on such crimes said at the National Association of College and University Business Officers annual meeting here Sunday.
Courts continue to zig-zag on warrantless searches of college dormitory rooms -- with the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts on Wednesday rejecting the use of drug evidence found in 2007 in the room of two students at Boston College.
The ruling by the highest court in Massachusetts reverses an appeals court ruling last year that upheld the use of the evidence.
A new book on campus crime -- The Dark Side of the Ivory Tower: Campus Crime as a Social Problem (Cambridge University Press) -- looks at why campus crime has been viewed differently at different times in American history, and how various groups have defined the dangers facing American college students. The book also examines how different kinds of activists, such as feminists and family members of crime victims, have framed campus crime issues in different ways.

What a wonderful way to showcase the fruits of summer. Cool and so refreshing. Easy to prepare. I did leave out the almonds though. I made a large container of this and we have enjoyed it for the last few days. Great way to beat the heat. Thanks Mini.
Very nice blend of flavors. I omitted the almonds and it was great.
What a refreshing salad. A great way to take advantage of the fresh fruits of the season. The dressing was light and did not overpower the fruit. Thanks for sharing this. :-)
Incredible!! The almonds definitely add something special, and the dressing adds another refreshing, light dimension. This salad seriously cut down on the heat this weekend and will be a staple at our house. Thanks!!!
Fabulous! Great for large gatherings. I took mine to a church lunch, and it was the first thing gone! Thanks!
Loved the easy preparation for this salad. I used nectarines instead of peaches and otherwise followed the recipe. The dressing is very light and does not overwhelm the fruit, which was a major plus.
I switched this up, but none the less it is still 5 stars. I used honeydew, strawberries and a white nectarine. I then used 1 tsp of brown sugar and then Stevia (the equivalent of 2 tsp of sugar) so in essence, I cut the sugar by half and it was plenty sweet enough for us. Thanks for sharing.
Delicious! The dressing is there, barely noticeable, and enhances the fruit. Nothing not to love about this.
I served this ice cold and it was so refreshing that we ate more of the salad then our dinner. I will definately make this again, I want to make it when peach season is here. Thank you for posting.
