I have recorded my first and third playthroughs. In my first playthough I spent too much time messing around, and I eventually blocked the stairs in the second level with the rock krab, so I had to restart the game. Unfortunately, the second playthrough wasn't recorded properly so I uploaded the 3rd one to include some 3rd level footage, but I had completed that one already by the time I recorded the video:
- 1st playthrough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E_4_jy-6zs
- 3rd playthrough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qyTuhub7fo
Not going to write a list of the things I liked and didn't like... because there actually isn't anything that I 'didn't like' from this beta. Some stuff could be tweaked or improved IMO, but that's it... just some criticism all around:
- The most noticeable difference from the first game is the linearity of the levels: it kinda reminded me of Braid, which is an awesome thing, but it also isn't what someone who completed the first Toki Tori would expect. That will most likely get better once the multiple exits are implemented, but I think I'm going to miss the good old TT1 puzzling, where you had to look at the map as a whole, without any other goal than collecting everything in the map in a single playthrough. I'm hoping the 'Challenge Maps' you unlock by grabbing collectibles to be something like that, would love to be proven right...
- The feature I'm missing the most are the mouse controls for movement. Having completed the whole TT1 by point and clicking, it doesn't feel nice having to use the keyboard now in this game. One would normally expect this to be added later but I didn't see any mention to mouse/touch controls in the Wii-U article so I'm a bit concerned about that...
- When you pan view with the right mouse button, I think the view shouldn't focus back on Toki Tori as soon as you release the button. Playing on windowed mode (800x600) the feature is completely useless (it stops working as soon as you move the mouse out of the window), and it doesn't let you see too much space even on fullscreen...
- I think Toki Tori moves too slow, and climbs ladders even slower. Every tiny bit of frustration when dealing with Toki Tori's movement can affect the experience, so I think the movement should be as smooth as possible, no matter if it looks a bit unrealistic IMO. It could even be interesting to add a 'running' action for traveling longer distances, which could also be a cool third way of dealing with creatures: for example you could allow Toki Tori to scare the dog if you run a long distance before you get close enough to it... It could also be used to gain momentum: Toki Tori doesn't have to fall in a perfect vertical line as soon as it steps off a ledge...
- I like how both the whistle and stomp animations come with a subtle effect that shows Toki Tori's influence radius, but there's no way to predict it before whistling/stomping, which can be pretty frustrating sometimes: in the second level (second, unrecorded playthrough), I stomped to send a berrybug to the water (where the death tiles are), but I wasn't close enough to make the bubblefrog burp, so the berrybug isn't caught and dies, and I have to restart the game... I think there should be a permanent way of showing the influence radius, or maybe the creatures inside your influence area should be highlighted somehow...
- Something similar happens with the bubblefrogs: there's no way to predict the max distance they will throw the bubble, so I stomped several times next to a bubblefrog just to see that the creature I wanted to catch was a step farther away, so I had to restart the game... again...
- Berrybugs are kinda hard to deal with sometimes: I often spent more time than desired, waiting for the berrybug to reach the desired position to eventually trigger a bubble. Maybe they should react to whistling too, I dunno...
OK, I've kinda focused on criticism but I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed this beta! Never thought a puzzle game could be as lively as this, and now it can only get better: if all the creatures are as cute as the bubblefrog this is going to be awesome! It was also great to finally hear Toki Tori's first 'words'...
The destroyable bridges and waterfalls through telewarps have lots of potential, can't even imgagine what kind of chain reactions can be done with that... Keep up the awesome work!

I like everything so far
here are my credit card details #^$^$*$&$&&^%(%**^)*^*
as GL said, hope there is a click and move mouse control, it's what help make the first game great, as did the rewind feature, peeps are gonna want to rewind to get sections perfect not restart the whole level,,maybe a whistle or two to get the bloated frog to move slowly to where toki wants him other than have it stationary all the time..similar to what happens when you whisle the crab, it crawls to toki and stops, that would be great positioning control...and one small thing I noticed , the birds that pick up toki look at him then look straight ahead while they fly to their nest, makes em look kinda disconnected from the enviroment, imo, instead, have them look at a point in the center of the nest and the eyes move as it flies toward the nest, would look more in tune with it's enviroment...hmmm, maybe take toki off the Valium or at least reduce his dosage, movement is a bit slow. I loved the cave bit, stomped thru the bridge to get collectable, died, had to restart, are we going to have to suicide then restart to get collectables? or did i miss something? I liked the bugs that lit up the passageway, though the edges of the light beam should be softer, it's a glowbug not a searchlight bug,lol, really liked the glow in the dark butterflies, frog ate my bug, left me in the dark, I whisled to turn the frog around and a butterfly flew to me and lit up the area again, beautiful idea...made it to the end of the level and I appear to have won a toki toki shaped USB stick, yay me ..and plz, plz, plz don't rush to get it out when promised, I'm sure peeps would rather wait for perfection than be disappointed with a rush job..that's all for now....warmest regards, Dark Cyanide
edit, just had a thought, if toki stands on the left hand side of a crab shell, and if he stomps, the crab will move to the right and vice versa, make for some interesting puzzle mechanics

Just had my first quick look, and I have to say I love the graphics and some of the new puzzle elements! Looks really good!
I didn't notice any bugs yet, but I noticed one thing that I couldn't quickly find elsewhere: right at the start it says that z is for stomp and x for whistle, but the key bindings are exactly the other way around. If it's a general thing I'm sure someone noticed before (then please ignore this), but maybe it's something specific to my configuration...

In recent memory, my favorite Giants game was the playoff game against the Packers in 2011 because the Giants were vindicated after the loss to the Packers in the regular season at MetLife.
One of these teams is not like the others
super bowl 42. the feeling i felt right after that game ended was indescribable.
The win and in game against the Eagles. We won 10-7 in overtime and the Eagles kicker I think Ackers missed a fg at the end the 4 quarter. He literally didn't miss a kick all year
Giants-Jets with the Cruz catch and long run back in 2010. Catalyst in the SB run for me
But probably more so SB 46. Great game and some iconic plays too
My personal favorite was the playoff game against ATL in 2012.
I still couldn't believe we made it to the postseason, and to see the "All In" towels waved around while we totally destroyed them was awesome.
The energy from the fans that day was incredible too.
Mood: WOOF!

Writing Fast Code: Introduction To Algorithms and Big-O
Peer Reviewed by NightCreature83, Dragonsoulj, Servant of the Lord
fast code algorithm big-o
Did you know computers are stupid machines? They are actually so stupid that they don't know how to multiply; instead, they add - whenever you say 2*5, the computer is really doing 2+2+2+2+2!
What computers can, and have always been capable of, is executing things incredibly quickly. So even if it uses repeated addition, it adds so quickly that you don't even feel it adds repeatedly, it just spits out the answer as if it used its memory like you would have.
However, fast as computers are, sometimes you need it to be faster, and that's what we're going to tackle in this article.
But first, let's consider this:
Here are 7 doors, and behind them are numbers, one of which contains a 36. If I asked you to find it, how would you do it?
Well, what we'd do is open the doors, and hope we're lucky to get the number.
Here we open 4 doors, and find 36. Of course, in the worst case scenario, if we were unlucky, we might have ended up opening all 7 doors before finally finding 36.
Now suppose I give you a clue. This time, I tell you the numbers are sorted, from lowest to highest. You can instantly see that we can work on opening the doors more systematically:
If we open the door in the middle, we know which half the number we are looking for is. In this case we see 24, and we can then tell that 36 should be in the latter half.
We can take the concept even further, and - quite literally - divide our problem in half:
In the picture above, instead of worrying about 6 more doors, we now only worry about 3.
We again open the middle, and find 36 in it.
In the worst case scenario, if we opened the doors wildly, or linearly, opening doors one by one without a care, we would have to open all doors to find what we are looking for.
In our new systematized approach, we would have to open a significantly lower number of doors - even in the worst case scenario. This approach is logarithmic in running time, because we always divide our number of doors by half.
Here is a graph of the doors we have to open, relative to the number of doors.
See how much faster log n is, even on incredibly large input. On the worst case scenario, if we had 1000 doors and we opened them linearly, we would have to open all of them. If we leverage the fact that the numbers are sorted however, we could continually divide the problem in half, and drastically lowering that number.
An Algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem, and here we have two basic algorithms.
As you have already seen, our second algorithm is faster than our first in the worst case scenario. We could classify them by running time, the time it needs to take to complete the problem, which we equated here by the numbers of doors opened (since you take time to open doors).
The first algorithm, which is a linear search algorithm, would have to open ALL doors, so we say it's running time is O(n), (pronounced Big-Oh-of-n) where n is the number of doors (input).
The second algorithm, which is a binary search algorithm, would have to open a logarithmic amount of doors, so we say it's running time is O(log n).
In the so called O-Notation, O represents the time needed for your algorithm to complete the task in the worst case scenario.
We haven't looked at the other side of the coin however. What about the best case scenario?
In both of our algorithms, the best case scenario would be to find the what we're looking for in the very first door of course! So, in both our cases, the best case running time would be 1. In O-Notation, theta (O) represents the best case scenario. So in notation, we say O(1)
Here is a table so far of our algorithms:
|Linear Search
|Binary Search
|log n
Now unless all you're going to write in your life are door problems the style of Monty Hall, then we need to study more interesting algorithms.
Sorting - Case Study
Let's say I'm making an RTS, and I needed to sort out units by their health.
As you can see here, the positions of our units are a mess!
A human being can sort this out very easily - one can instantly 'see' that it should be arranged like so:
The brain makes some pretty interesting calculations, and in a snap, it sees how the problem can be solved, as if in one step.
In reality though, it actually does a series of steps, an algorithm, to sort out these pigs. Let's try to solve this problem programmatically.
One very straight forward way to solve this problem is to walk through our input, and if they are not sorted, we swap them:
Are the first two pigs sorted? Yes, so we leave them be.
Are the next two pigs sorted?
No, so we swap them.
We will continually do this recursively, until we walk through our input and see that we have in fact sorted it out.
To save you some bandwidth, here is our sorting algorithm in an animation, courtesy of Wikipedia:
(The animation is pretty long, so you might want to refresh the page to start over)
The algorithm we have described here is a Bubble Sort. Let's define its running time shall we?
How many steps do we take to fully sort it out?
First we walk through our input. If our input is n, that is a total of n steps.
But how many times do we start over and walk again? Well, in the worst case scenario, that is, when the numbers are arranged largest to lowest, then we would have to walk through it n times too.
So n steps per walk, and n walks, then that is a total of n2.
In the best case scenario, we would only need to walk through it once (and see it's already sorted). In that case, n steps per walk, and 1 walk, then that is a total of n.
Now you might have noticed this, but n2 is a pretty bad number to have. If we had to sort 100 elements, then that means we have to take 1002 steps, that is 10,000 steps for a 100 elements!
Selection Sort
Let's use another approach. This time, we walk through the input left to right, keeping track of the smallest number we find.
After each walkthrough, we swap the smallest number with the left-most one that is not in the correct place yet.
To again save you some bandwidth, here is an animation, again courtesy of Wikipedia:
The red item is the current lowest number that we save, presumably in a variable. After the walk, we put this lowest number to the top of the list, and we know that this is sorted already (yellow).
But what is the running time?
In the worst case scenario, we would have to do n walks. The steps per walk decreases. Since we know that the first few numbers are already sorted, we can skip it. So our walks then become n, n-1, n-2... and so on.
The total running time of this is (n(n-1))/2. However, computers are so fast that a division is negligible, so we can say that this is n2 still.
But what about the best case scenario? If you think about it, we would still need to walk through the input, even if it is already arranged! So our best case scenario is also n2.
Insertion sort
Okay, so all of our examples so far have been n2 which we know is bad. Let's take a look at another algorithm shall we?
Imagine you're sorting a deck of cards. Now I don't know about you, but what most would do is walk through the deck, and insert the card in front of them to its right position in another deck.
This might help you visualize it:
This is awesome! We only need to walk through the list once! So the running time is n right?
Not quite. What if we needed to insert 1 to our sorted list? We would have to move every single one of them to make room. If you consider this, the worst case running time is actually n2.
Let's table them shall we:
|Bubble Sort
|Selection Sort
|Insertion Sort
Are we screwed? Do we have no choice but n2 running time for sorts? Of course not! If you've been vigilant, you'll realize that none of the algorithms introduced so far uses the same 'divide-and-conquer' approach of binary search.
You might want to take a look at this visualization to see just how fast merge sort is to bubble, selection, and insertion sorts.
Note: That little tidbit about computers doing repeated addition is a bit of a lie.

Stella McCartney Spring 2012
"Summer!" said Stella McCartney of her winningly breezy, insouciant collection, "And a real celebration of energy . . . And fitness!"
McCartney is designated the official creative designer for the British Olympic Team in the 2012 games, which might explain the athletic elements that crept into her clothes, including slithers of perforated breathable fabrics sliced into little crepe dresses, and oversize polo shirts and bomber jackets. But the mood was one of effortless sophistication.
The little slip dresses that were a motif of the show recalled McCartney's earliest collections when she reinvented old-fashioned underwear as modern outerwear, shrugging tweedy jackets over thirties-looking petticoat slips. These have now acquired a thoroughly modern chic, edged and scrolled with rococo volutes (sometimes re-embroidered in a thick braid that gave a seductive swing to the hems of her skirts). There was modern romance too in the insets of self-colored lace that licked the little dresses and blouses in white, ultramarine, or wine crepe de Chine.
McCartney took men's tie and cravat foulard silks with a paisley or geometric motif—of the type found in Old World menswear emporia—and used those for pant and short suits with the ease of pajamas. These looked particularly sharp when McCartney mixed the patterns together, building up to a delirium of color and print combinations in the body-skimming finale dresses that had a whimsical, kinetic charm.

More than 200 receive education at Back to Basics
Chilly temperatures couldn't stop more than 200 participants from attending the seventh annual Back to Basics, hosted by Happy Dancing Turtle, on Saturday, Jan. 26, at Pine River-Backus High School.
The theme was "Steps Toward Sustainability: The Solution is You."
The morning kicked off with a keynote presentation from Chuck Marohn of Strongtowns.org. His address was titled "Strategies for Building Strong Towns: How Ordinary People Can Do Extraordinary Things."
Marohn's speech explained the importance of taking responsibility for improving communities through a many-handed approach instead of relying on a top-down approach.
The day featured 28 workshops and more than 30 vendors available throughout the day.
"I was pleased with the buzz of the crowd. Everyone was networking, learning and having fun, and that's really what Back to Basics is all about," said event coordinator Barb Beck.
Some of the more popular hands-on workshops included local producer Abbie Schramm's "Soapmaking 101;" home energy auditor Sarah Hayden's "Low-Calorie Home," which demonstrated ways to lower heating bills; and Cass County Education Coordinator Brita Sailer's "Recycle That, Too!"
"Brita Sailer knows everything there is to know about recycling," said Quinn Swanson of Happy Dancing Turtle. "There wasn't enough time during the session and it even went long."
Happy Dancing Turtle, in collaboration with Pine River-Backus Community Education and Central Lakes College, typically hosts Back to Basics on the last weekend in January. The event focuses on energizing and motivating participants to reach toward sustainable practices.

We are hosting a Father's Day + Birthday BBQ this weekend, so I have been working on spiffing up the outside.
First up, was cleaning our outdoor chairs. We leave these guys outside all year under our roof overhang so they stay dry, but besides that we don't take any other special care of them.
Clean, Tighten & Condition
After three years of outdoor use, I think they look really good, but I'd like them to last for years to come.
Every summer I like to spiff them up with a three-step process – clean, tighten and condition.
With a bucket of hot water and soap (I used Murphy Oil Soap), I cleaned off all the grime and cobwebs.
Them, I like to tightened up all the screws with my handy hex-key. The last thing I want is a wiggly chair. It can put unnecessary ware of the chair joints and it's really not comfortable for my guests.
Finally, I applied a wood conditioner (like this) to the chair. This stuff soaks up in about 15 minutes and then you can go back and wipe away any excess. Our chairs were still pretty dry after the first conditioning, so the following day I lightly sanded any rough patches and applied a second coat of conditioner.
Now they are almost as good as new! Next step is to replace the cushions I started last year.
*I was not paid to use any of the above products. I bought them with my own money because I like them.

Southern Lehigh is a rural school in a rather wealthy area of majority homogeneous (white) student population; nevertheless the influx of African-Americans and Puerto-Ricans has severely damaged its reputation of late. Often times considered an athletic cesspool by outsiders, one has to look no further than the swim team to find the heart and soul of the athletic, academic and social community*. Southern Lehigh graduates and students alike pride themselves on their ability to consume mass quantities of alcohol with apparent ease*.

A public school in South Eastern PA, known as the "rich kids" School. Mostly due to the fact that many students parents settled in the area because of there engineering jobs. The SoLehi Spartans, are known for their kick ass swim team, and field hockey team. A mostly white school known for its academic programs and ability to party. Many of the students are stuck up arrogant and have been sheltered all their lives. But most are not. Sister school to Saucon Valley High School. The School's colors are blue black and white.
Southern Lehigh High School is similar to Saucon Valley High School because it is a richie rich school as well, I mean go on Tickle Belly Road and Just look in awh... $2,000,000+ houses.

Swaziland editor, lawyer re-arrested after release from jail
New York, April 10, 2014--Swaziland police on Wednesday re-arrested veteran editor Bheki Makhubu and human rights lawyer Thulani Maseko three days after they had been released from prison, according to news reports. The two, who were first jailed on March 18 and held until Sunday, had written articles that criticized Swaziland's chief justice, the reports said.
On Wednesday, High Court Judge Mpendulo Simelane issued new arrest warrants for Makhubu, editor of the independent newsmagazine The Nation, and Maseko, alleging that the two had failed to heed an April 1 court order to appear before him, the state-run Swazi Observer reported. Makhubu and Maseko appeared at the High Court in the capital, Mbabane, today, and were sent back to prison pending a court date on April 14, according to the Southern Africa Litigation Centre, a regional human rights group.

www.just-one.eu 04/2015Title: Testing the high end multimedia gaming headset from beyerdynamicAuthor: RobinTranslated from the original German article[...]
The usual version of this headset is very consistent and of a high quality. As already mentioned, you can build your own MMX 300 online via the MMX 300 manufactory.
Basically, the headset construction does not differ from the regular variant. We chose white and red for our version and especially in the manufactory there are numerous colours and materials available. Piano lacquer for the ear cups, a text imprint on the side or velours for the ear pads. You get a lot of features for your money.
The headset is supplied in a cardboard package and the MMX 300 itself is securely packed in a pouch, which is a nice gimmick.
When you put on the headset, you realise quite quickly that you have quality on your ears. You can wear the MMX 300 for hours, without feeling an unpleasant pressure or something like that due to the soft ear pads and headband. When wearing the MMX 300, you will quickly notice that you hardly hear ambient noise through the headset, therefore you hear the sound quite isolated from the outside world. The question raised is if you can use this high end device with your Xbox One what we can definitely confirm.
In accordance with this price class you receive a very clear and high-quality sound. The bass is not so concise to hear, but it is very well added into the acoustic overall picture. The voice reproduction is also very clear due to the microphone. No matter if you are watching a movie or playing a game the performance for your ears is always of a very high quality and powerful. Conclusion: At first sight the price for the MMX 300 may be frightening, no matter which version you choose. If you, however, wear this headset you will quickly notice that this headset is worth every cent. The finish is of high quality, the appearance discrete but nevertheless precious and the sound is convincing throughout. Everybody who wants to acquire a quality headset that lasts for many years should have a look. Those who prefer a more individual model can purchase the Manufactory version.
Overall rating: 9 out of 10 points

After connecting the beyerdynamic MMX 300 to my computer via a USB sound card, I played some music "Maid with a Flaxen Hair" using Windows to see if there was a reaction. It gave me goose bumps! This headset delivers an incredible audio experience. But even during gaming, the headset is absolutely convincing. In general, it is almost impossible to find criticism of the MMX 300. The ear cushions are just big enough for my ears, but never uncomfortable at any time. What remains is the high price (... ). However, I can recommend the MMX 300 without restriction for every gamer, as well as any music or movie fan, because it definitely is worth its high price!
www.pcwelt.de 03/2015Title: Testing the beyerdynamic MMX 300 ManufactoryAuthor: Friedrich StiemerTranslated from the original German article[...]
Although the MMX 300 weighs almost 400 grams, the high comfort cannot be denied.[...]
Even after several hours of using the MMX 300 there is no uncomfortable pressure. It is not too warm around our ears either. Furthermore, the workmanship definitely meets the price, because nothing creaks or rattles.
Mainly, the sound, the headset (...) does not fail. The different sound ranges are professionally tuned and of a high precision. The dynamic is unparalleled and the playback of explosions, fine orchestra plays and films is extremely detailed, too. The ambience is very impressive, for example enemies actually can be located by their steps - the good noise isolation is also very positive in this case. The quality of the voices transmitted by the microphone is very good.
[...]Of course the MMX 300 Manufactory is much more expensive than its gaming competitors, but the headset is definitely worth the price. The sound is impressive, the high standard of workmanship and the customisation options are extensive. Initially the clear sound needs getting used to, but after a short time we would not want to miss it. This, however, also depends a lot on the audio hardware used (i.e. the output device) and the audio material. Beyerdynamic supplies the headset with an extended warranty of five years.

Buffed 01-02/2013Title: Buffed technologyAuthor: Florian Emmerich
Translated from the original German article[...]
Big time! This headset ensures a pure enjoyment of listening. Music, gaming sound, films, everything sounds a lot better. Clear highs, extremely strong bass, for sound enthusiasts it hardly leaves any desire open. Due to the excellent attenuation, ambient noise is hardly perceived.
[...]Thanks to the velours pads the headset is absolutely comfortable.
Those who have money will not find a better headset on the market.
www.ps3-talk.de 02/2013Title: Hardware testAuthor: Calvin Rimpel
[...]If you are looking for a headset with the best microphone for gaming headsets with a great sound and fantastic comfort then beyerdynamic is the right choice, because it has all the properties mentioned above.
[...]Furthermore, we have never worn a headset that adapts as perfectly to the head as the MMX 300 and never becomes uncomfortable even after many hours. Regarding the quality, beyerdynamic provides the usual top quality. (…) Furthermore, it should be mentioned that both headband pad and ear pads can be replaced, when they show signs of wear and tear and the warranty is in total 5 years – great. [...]Most of you, however, will be interested in the sound and here again beyerdynamic proves its strength and experience. Let's start with the area that immediately shows all weaknesses of a headphone, because the different genres cover all ranges of sound – music. What can we say, the MMX 300 can keep up fantastically. The highs and mids are marvellously balanced and none of them is predominant. We used the MMX 300 for listening to the different genres from classic to house and the MMX 300 did not show any weakness. The voices sound crystal clear, the highs appear warm and the mids are balanced (…). Never before had we worn a gaming headset that did its job so good when listening to the music and the same applies when it comes to gaming. [...]The explosions are powerful, the shots sound authentic, the engines sound as if you stand directly next to them, in short the whole world becomes one.[...](...) As mentioned before, here you will probably have the best microphone of all the gaming headsets. The cardioid condenser microphone is almost the same as the one which is used for beyerdynamic headsets in private aircrafts.[...]I have had more than 7 headsets, but none of them can compete with beyerdynamic regarding the sound. In my opinion the MMX 300 is currently the absolute reference of gaming headsets when it comes to the sound. Somebody told me once that a good (hi-fi) headphone can handle all areas such as music, film and gaming, and this describes the MMX 300 best.
Bluelife 01/2013Title: Review TechnologyAuthor: Mark RuhlandTranslated from the original German article
The MMX 300 is convincing in all aspects. In prioritised tests for demanding gamers it impresses to a high extent. Furthermore, it proves that it is also a worthwhile investment for fans of home cinemas or demanding music lovers.
PC-Games Hardware 03/2013Title: Headsets for gamersAuthor: unknown
What has changed with the model from 2012? First of all the modified design catches the eye. Compared to others the headset is outstanding and leaves a noble impression. The headband is provided with press studs. When wearing the headset for a longer period of time the headband will not put pressure on the head.
[...](...) In the tests, beyerdynamic supplies the best sound quality. Even more, the MMX 300 version 2012 does not need to hide itself against quality rating of the reproduction properties. (...) The headset supplies a good quality over the whole frequency spectrum. In all frequency bands there is a high degree of differentiation for the benefit of fine details. Voices can be clearly heard. Even with higher levels and deep frequencies there is no noise, the processing is without any deficiencies.[...]The re-designed MMX 300 of the 2012 version can convince with a consistent good performance. Rating: 1.73
Buffed 03-04/2008Title: beyerdynamic MMX 300Author: unknown
Translated from the original German articles/test reports
Thanks to the silky soft circumaural ear pads and the enormous comfort of wearing the MMX 300 is the most comfortable product in our test. Although the weight of 380 g is much higher than of competitive models, you hardly notice the headset. The MMX 300 eliminates ambient noise almost completely. The plastic-spring steel design is of great workmanship.
[...]The microphone is also great. A noise cancellation ensures a clear transmission of speech.
[...]The beyerdynamic MMX 300 provides an excellent overall performance and is suitable for hi-fi enjoyment.
www.notebookjournal.de 11/2012Title: Great Listening – Headphones and Headsets for a better laptop soundAuthor: Michael MoserTranslated from the original German test reportMade of aluminium, leather and only a little bit of plastic, the headset knows how to convince. Due to replaceable, soft velours pads and a good padded headband as well as a single-sided cable, the comfort of wearing is excellent.[...]The sound of the MMX 300 is very good. The headset creates a wide stage and reproduces the entire frequency spectrum clean and precise without any distortions. Pure highs, solid mids and a rich bass create a realistic sound. A clear locability also creates a convincing gaming and movie experience. The microphone operates clean and clear and suppresses disturbing noise. Basic noise is hardly audible. Conclusion upper class: The beyerdynamic MMX 300 headset is the winner of this top category.
www.welt.de 04/2014Title: These headsets are worth investingAuthor: Christian Ströh
Another question of the construction is the open or closed design. An open design facilitates air circulation to the ears, what is quite convenient during long sessions. But it also lets you perceive your surroundings and vice versa. Especially in quiet environments this may cause trouble for others, which will be a less immersive experience for you. Top models such as the beyerdynamic MMX 300 achieve this compromise: Due to a special foam material the ears do not start hurting even though noise attenuation does also exist.
Player 01/2012Title: Precision instrumentAuthor: Holger Barske
[...]Apart from all sound quality properties, the MMX 300 has to be praised first of all for its great comfort when putting on the head although it is not ultra-light (almost 400 g). The big circumaural velours ear pads fit perfectly and do not put pressure on the ears. The consequence is that this headset is not only comfortable for 15 minutes, but for six hours. It is not so tight that you sweat excessively and you still can notice what is going on around you. The adaptation of the headphone to the head is very easy by pulling out or sliding in the appropriate yokes, which is one simple action that works perfectly. [...]The microphone is attached at the end of an adjustable boom which can simply be folded away at its mounting on the left ear cup, what is absolutely alright from the ergonomic point of view. A replaceable foam piece acts as pop shield and does a fine job. [...]Colleagues will envy you, because this headset from beyerdynamic acoustically exceeds any other headset. Both microphone and headphone feature an extreme acoustical resolution, which is mainly noticed by the headphone's extraordinary intelligibility of speech. (...)."[...]The MMX 300 is a hi-fi headphone of top quality with a very balanced frequency response, a very clear and clean reproduction of the highs and an outstanding deep bass. The microphone features a high transparency and balance, the isolation of ambient and wearing noise is perfect. [...]Both comfort of wearing and sound of beyerdynamic's top model exceed the inexpensive mass products.

Defending the Indefensible: A Tough Day for the President's Budget
Highlights from House Budget Committee Hearing with OMB Acting Director Jeffrey Zients
Earlier today, the House Budget Committee examined the President's Fiscal Year 2013 budget request, receiving testimony from Office of Management and Budget Acting Director Jeffrey Zients.
Chairman Paul Ryan Dismantles the President's Misleading Claims
The President continues to assert that policy changes proposed in his budget will result in $4 trillion in deficit reduction. The claim is simply false. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan unpacks the false claims and the gimmicks used to arrive at that number – revealing a deep divide between reality and the Administration's rhetoric.
The President's Budget Balances….Never
OMB Director Contradicts the Administration's Arguments before the Supreme Court
OMB Acting Director Zients contradicts the Administration's argument before the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the President's health care law. The Administration claims the power to impose an unprecedented federal mandate to purchase government-approved health insurance if the enforcement mechanism is a tax. In testimony before the House Budget Committee, OMB Director Zients argues the opposite, claiming the enforcement mechanism is not a tax.

SIA Praises School Safety Measure in Omnibus Spending Bill
The Security Industry Association has offered its support of the inclusion of the Comprehensive School Safety Initiative in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 (H.R. 3547).
January 16, 2014
SILVER SPRING, Md. — The Security Industry Association (SIA) supports the inclusion of a new school safety initiative in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 (H.R. 3547) cleared by Congress on Jan. 16 and poised for enactment by President Barack Obama.
Specifically, the omnibus appropriations bill contains $75 million for the Comprehensive School Safety Initiative, a new program to be administered by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) at the U.S. Department of Justice. The funding would provide resources to assess methods to secure schools and to investigate the causes of school shootings.
During the past year, SIA has pressed Congress to provide assistance to schools to improve security, supporting legislation authored by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., to restore grant funding to the Secure Our Schools grants program at the Department of Justice.
The funding in the omnibus bill could pave the way for greater investment in vital security systems for school safety, SIA CEO Don Erickson says.
"The funding in the omnibus bill reflects broad agreement in principle throughout Congress that modern security technologies can save lives in the face of an active shooter at U.S. schools," he says. "While school safety and security have continued to improve since the Sandy Hook tragedy in 2012, leadership from the federal government will provide important guidance for more schools to make smart choices when investing in security systems. SIA looks forward to contributing to that guidance through our SIA Education Interest Group."
Of the $75 million in the bill, $50 million would go toward pilot projects at schools to test technologies to improve school safety, training for school personnel and other initiatives. Another $25 million would go to research efforts by the NIJ specifically to evaluate and determine the most effective methods for improving school safety, including innovative facility design and use of security cameras and other technologies.

Several New Zealand websites appear to have been hacked by a Turkish group overnight.
The Labtests, Canterbury Southern Community Laboratories and Southern Community Labs websites have all been hacked.
The websites have been taken over by a black page with Turkish text, apart from the line "We Are Turkish Hacker" in English.
Kaan Reis, a member of a group called "Spy-Hatz", claims to have hacked the websites.
However, the websites are now completely down.
The sites appear to be among more than a thousand websites around the world affected by the hacker.
While the three hacked New Zealand sites all belong to laboratory contractors, other websites hacked by Kaan Reis range from news organisations to freight companies.
No explanation for the attack has been given on either the hacked sites, or Spy-Hatz's Twitter or Facebook pages.

Does anyone have a recipe for wax I can use to protect unfinished pine? I bought myself a pine tool box (the mann lake beekeeper's toolbox) and I want to keep it's natural finish, but also protect it. A friend mentioned wax finish so I started looking online. I found this, which describes what I'm looking for but I'd like to make my own.
I only want to do the outside of the box, and I don't want to remove the hardware and straps already attached to the box, so dipping isn't an option. Thanks.

text: I have a 98 silverado 1500 with a 5.7. The other day, the truck wouldn't start, found I didn't have no spark. Replaced the ignition module and all was fine till yesterday. The truck will crank over and as soon as I let the key go, it will chug over 2 or 3 times then quits. pulled several plugs to check for spark. I have spark, but all the plugs are dry, even from all the cranking. I have 55 psi at the schrader fitting on the fuel line behind the air box.Left it set over night with the fuel pressure gauge hooked up. Started back on the truck this evening, the gauge was still showing pressure. Checked every plug wire with the plug installed in the boots. I have spark at all cylinders, but no fuel is coming from the injectors. Is there a way to check the injector module or could there be something else causing none of the injectors to spray any fuel? I've checked all the fuses,don't know where to go next. I appreciate any help. I'm too broke to pay anyone fix it, so I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction.

Restored 70mm print!
After the success of Mon Oncle in 1958, Jacques Tati had become fed up with his signature Monsieur Hulot character. Slowly, he inched his way toward a new kind of cinema—a supremely democratic film starring "everybody," in which the wonders of modern life would relinquish their functionality and become a ravishingly beautiful backdrop to pure human delirium. Tati's journey to Playtime was a long one, 10 years in all. The massive set known as Tativille was built in Saint-Meurice, at the southeast corner of Paris: 100 construction workers made two buildings out of 11,700 square feet of glass, 38,700 square feet of plastic, 31,500 square feet of timber, and 486,000 square feet of concrete. Tativille had its own power plant and approach road, and building number one had its own working escalator. At the end of the road, there was ignominy and bankruptcy. But Jacques Tati was secure in the knowledge that, with Playtime, he had made a masterpiece.

Set gateway from router
(corp hq)----{internet}-----[VPN router]-----(windows XP box)
IPSec VPN tunnel is up between remote VPN router and corp HQ. Windows machine is directly connected to the internal side of the router, but no default gateway is set.
I can SSH into the router and ping the windows box, but cannot ping the windows box directly.
Is there a way to set the gateway FROM the router since that's the only way I can communicate to it? The alternative is flying to the remote site and setting the gateway. Ouch.
Any help would be appreciated. I have tried a few things without success (for example, enable NAT on the router to do translation; does NOT work because the order NAT is applied versus the VPN tunnel).
Hacks are welcome as long as the remote site is recoverable afterward!

GSA Awards Task Order to Improve Information Security in Federal Agencies
March 25, 2002
Washington, DC -The U. S. General Services Administration awarded a task order to provide Web enabled software patch authentication and dissemination capabilities to federal agencies. The contract, awarded to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for one base year with four one-year options, will provide support to the Federal Computer Incident Response Center (FedCIRC), under the Program SAFEGUARD.
This award enables FedCIRC, a program of the Federal Technology Service (FTS), to help agencies in their daily attempts to prevent efforts by hackers. FedCIRC will serve as a central point for federal agencies to receive notification of pending software patches that correct known vulnerabilities. Follow-up notifications will be provided when the patches are received and validated. The validation process will ensure that the patches supplied by vendors correct the intended vulnerability. SAIC's offering includes technology from Vigilinx Digital Security Solutions.
"FedCIRC is preparing a range of security tools for agencies. The patch dissemination capability is one such tool that will help managers by filtering out patches that do not apply to their network and letting them concentrate on patches they really need," said Sallie McDonald, Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Information Assurance and Critical Infrastructure Protection with FTS. "It is no secret that most security incidents could be avoided if managers apply patches for known vulnerabilities. The automatic patch dissemination capability will make it easier for security managers to handle the abundance of patches available for commercial software."
This contract is expected to yield multiple benefits. "FedCIRC has enhanced its ability to reduce the government's vulnerability to cyberattacks," said FTS Commissioner Sandra Bates. "Making these types of services available to the federal community at no cost to federal agencies represents one more piece in a strategy to save money and improve security. Bringing function based systems and services together under one program offers �economies of scale,' enabling all agencies and departments to cut down on the overhead required to manage individual systems, freeing up available resources to focus on other areas. That's smart government."
FedCIRC is the central coordination and analysis facility dealing with computer security related issues affecting the civilian agencies and departments of the Federal government. For additional information about FedCIRC, visit www.FedCIRC.gov.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. GSA, comprised of 14,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in 8,300 government -owned and leased buildings in 1,600 U.S. communities.

Town Square
Feeling good about the show
Original post made by Tim Hunt, Castlewood, on Oct 8, 2013
The governor made a big show last week when he signed the bill raising the minimum wage to $10.
The show was just that—a feel-good show. It likely will reduce employment at entry level jobs instead of helping poor families as proponents argue. The reality is that most of the people holding minimum-wage jobs are teen-agers who are dipping their toes into the workforce for the first time.
There are some occasions where it is a relatively unskilled adult attempting to support a family—the issue there is not mandating what an employer has to pay—regardless of the job market—it's providing the opportunity for that employee to improve themselves. Adding 20 percent plus the assorted government-mandated costs to an employer's expenses makes it less likely they will hire additional employees.
Government, at all levels, assumes that its actions will benefit people without any real understanding of how people affected by the new laws or regulations will react. And people do react to protect their interests.
Columnist Thomas Sowell, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, took on the United States Dept. of Labor in his column published in the Bay Area News Group last Saturday. Sowell observed that the Labor Dept. was planning to extend minimum-wage coverage to domestic workers such as maids and other casual help in households. Of course, it is scheduled to take effect in 2015, after the mid-term elections in November 2014.
Sound familiar. Note when the full effects of ObamaCare—now—are kicking in—a full five years after the Democrats in Congress passed the legislation and the president signed it.
Sowell argues that the law is simply an overreach by a government agency eager to regulate and collect employment taxes on any potential "victim" (my word). The thought of a couple of senior citizens who need help around the house being regarded as employers is laughable.
It will lead, for those informed enough, to them calling in companies to perform duties that once were handled by individuals. Those will be part-time jobs—the only type of position most employers are hiring given the economic impacts of ObamaCare on employers.
Just as raising the minimum wage in California will lead to less opportunity for young people… the potential federal action that Sowell outlined so well will do the same for less-skilled people of all ages who could fill that niche. To say nothing of the effects on elderly folks without significant means who need some casual help.

Lest any readers be deceived into thinking that the conventional wisdom in your article – things that everybody Knows are true – actually ARE true, here are a few points to ponder.
First, on the facts: the CA minimum wage will rise to $9 next July, and $10 in January, 2016.
Second: "most of the people holding minimum wage jobs are teenagers …" According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Web Link, 24% of min-wage earners are teenagers. More than ¾ are not "dipping their toes into the workplace for the first time." They are the working poor, and their numbers are large, and growing. Just for completeness: 64% have HS diplomas, and 76% are Caucasian.
Third: " adding 20 plus percent …". Couple points for context, here. The federal minimum wage is $7.25. The buying power of that minimum wage was $10.55 when it peaked in the 1960s (at $1.60/hour – those were the days); it has deteriorated more than "20 plus percent" since then.
Comparing the cost of living in our fair state to the nation, if you take our five largest metro regions (where most of the people are, after all), averaged, with St. Louis, a worker earning $50K there would need to make fully $73K here just to stay even – that's a 46% difference – far more than the delta between state and federal minimums. Web Link
Fourth: "it will reduce employment at entry-level jobs …" Econ 101, right? Except not right, necessarily. Min wage jobs are primarily in the service sector. If burger-flipping and house cleaning could be mechanized, they would be. Further, businesses will pass-on those costs if they can, and the demand curves in those sectors are quite steep – meaning that they indeed can. A 10% min wage bump may correspond to a 3-4% overall cost increase, which in-turn may take my Big Mac up a dime. I do not predict a consumer revolt over that, nor a run to Jack, whose costs will rise correspondingly. We do love our food-like substances.
Fifth: … "Those (new min wage jobs) will be part-time …" They already are: 66% of min wage jobs pay for fewer than 40 hours per week (BLS link). Welcome to WalMart.
Sixth: Thomas Sowell is just not credible. He's an out-of-touch scold, whose last original thought occurred during the Reagan Administration. He's been coasting on the tide of his uniqueness, ever since. It's a very tired act.
A much more timely article would take-on rising income inequality, in which this new minimum wage will make a practically imperceptible dent.

I believe Citizen Paine's comments are some of the best, well reasoned, responses that I have seen on this forum. Tim's postings are generally well written, accurate and always informative. However, after reading both Tim's and Paine's comments, I would ask, as I'm sure others would also, that Tim pen a reply addressing the points that Paine has articulated. This type of discourse, one filled with facts, rather than emotional rhetoric is much more helpful than the general blather that the forum eventually falls victim to.

Ew. And C-Class Coupe? Really? What happened to the moniker "CLK?"Not to mention it has a B-pillar. Lame. The old one:Thanks for devolving Mercedes. That side does look very similar to Accord-- but as I've said before, everyone "copies" the others. Right now everything has big character lines down the side (Hyundai is a good example), so it's nice Mercedes went with a more classic design for the character lines.

I'm sure the B-Pillar is more for occupant safety and meeting new crash safety standards. I don't know too many cars that don't have B-Pillars any more.
- KumarCurrently rebuilding my RX-8.
The side profile really does look too Accord-ish. Since the Accord will have been out for 4-years by the time this C-Coupe comes out, there isn't much of an excuse for that. Overall, not bad, the front end has that same ugly refresh as the sedan, unfortunately.If they price it right and equip it with a 6-speed manual and other goodies, it might be worth looking into. Otherwise, the A5/S5, 3-Coupe, G37 Coupe and to some degree CTS Coupe provide some pretty hefty competition.

I like that. I still don't understand why they don't offer 4Matic with the 3.5L, though.
Drop the classic Mercedes grille on it and it would be pretty hot.Still, unless it arrives with a roaring AMG, it isn't as good looking as an S5 and won't perform like a 3 series.
It looks a bit awkward like the front and rear belong on different cars but its stylish i guess. It does look like a Honda Accord coupe in the rear though

The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is our state Medicaid program. It provides health care coverage for low-income Oregonians from all walks of life. This includes working families, children, pregnant women, single adults, seniors and more.
Our mission is to provide health coverage to low-income individuals and families, making sure they can access basic health care needs.
If you think you may qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, you should visit OregonHealthCare.gov. Then, answer a few screening questions to find out what application works best for you.
For most people, it's best to fill out an application at HealthCare.gov. This is the national health insurance website. HealthCare.gov provides an automated application and enrollment process for:
Most people will find out right away what they qualify for at HealthCare.gov.
For some people, it may be best to fill out Oregon's state-based, online PDF or paper application. To find out what application you should use, answer the questions on OregonHealthCare.gov.
In 2014, the Oregon Health Plan opened to more Oregonians as allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act. This allowed over 380,000 more Oregonians to qualify for the Oregon Health Plan that year. Today, more people have access to the health care they need when they need it, bringing peace of mind and financial security to individuals and families across the state. Read more…
Coordinated care
To reach our goal of providing better health and better care at lower costs for all Oregonians, Oregon created coordinated care organizations (CCOs). Most people who receive care under the Oregon Health Plan are enrolled in a CCO.
CCOs are local health care networks consisting of all types of health care providers working together to deliver patient-centered care.
CCOs focus on prevention, chronic disease management and early intervention, while working to reduce waste and inefficiencies in the health care system. CCOs are required to meet quality standards that show how well they are improving in key areas such as access to care, prevention and health screening, mental health care, and many others. Reports are published regularly.

A few days ago I finally received the Thomas Kaylor court documents. You can view them as you'd like, but I've also written up a brief synopsis.
Count I reads as follows:
"The said defendant, THOMAS LEON KAYLOR, on or about the 6th day of November, 1965, at Avenal Cutoff, Avenal Judicial District, County of Kings, State of California, did unlawfully kill, without malice, Gerald Eugene Kline while driving a vehicle and in the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony, with gross negligence."
Counts II, III and IV are "for a further and separate cause of action, being a different offense of the same class of crimes and offenses as the charge set forth above" with regards to Linda Kline, Robbin Kline and James Hamilton (a passenger in Kaylor's car).
Count V reads as follows:
"FOR A FURTHER AND SEPARATE CAUSE OF ACTION, BEING A DIFFERENT OFFENSE FROM, BUT CONNECTED IN ITS COMMISSION WITH THE CHARGE SET FORTH ABOVE, the said defendant, at the time and place aforesaid, did willfully, unlawfully and feloniously drive a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, and in so driving did an act forbidden by law, which act proximately caused bodily injury to Larry Junior Jones [the second passenger in Kaylor's car]."
Counts VI and VII are also "for a further and separate cause of action, being a different offense from, but connected in its commission with the charge set forth above" with regards to Jerry Lynn Kline and Paul Kline.
In later documents, dated March 2nd, 1967, it is revealed that:
"On May 9, 1966 Counts II, III, IV, V, VI and VII were dismissed in the interest of justice and Count I was reduced to misdemeanor manslaughter, Viol. Sec. 192.3(b) P. C."
So, Kaylor plead guilty and was granted probation "on June 20, 1966 for five years with certain terms and conditions."
In the same documents, we find that Kaylor violated his probation under the following circumstances:
"…it now appearing that this probation has been violated, the matter was duly set this date for hearing the evidence regarding violation of probation and the defendant appeared in person and with counsel A. Hugo Pearson, and after hearing the evidence the court finds that the terms and conditions of probation have been violated to wit: he drove an automobile while his license was suspended and used intoxicating beverages and therefore probation is hereby revoked. The defendant Thomas Leon Kaylor was then asked if he had any legal cause to show why judgement should be pronounced against him to which defendant replied he had none."
As a result:
"It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed that the said Thomas Leon Kaylor be punished by imprisonment in the count jail of the County of Kings in the State of California, for the term of one year."
So for ending the lives of three young, healthy people – while killing a child and orphaning two – Thomas Kaylor sat in county jail for one year. And only after making the same stupid decision twice.
I'm not quite sure I can say justice was served.
