Servers Please!
September 7, 2009 - Australia is a long way away from the rest of the world. This has both its advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it means it's harder for French people to get here (I kid, I kid), while on the flipside it means any time we're playing games off servers based in other countries, we have issues with latency. In some situations this isn't too much of a problem. If you're playing WoW, for instance, most of the content in the game is manageable with a ping below 400. It becomes much more of a problem, however, in competitive environments, where every microsecond counts. In the case of Blizzard, eSports is a big focus, but for Aussie gamers to be competitive, there needs to be the infrastructure to support them. Infrastructure that's currently lacking. There's a good reason for that, of course. Australia's population is a fraction of that of the USA or the many PC gaming-obsessed countries of Asia, and server costs are massive. How realistic is it to think we may get servers, and how much does it impact on the local professional scene? We asked around at Blizzcon to gauge how much of an issue it is for Aussie gamers, and to get the official word from Blizzard.
IGN Presents the History of Warcraft
August 18, 2009 - Very few have ever been able to match what Blizzard Entertainment has done. In less than 15 years, they went from a small independent developer to partners in one of the largest publishing houses in the world. What's more, they did it not by doling out a hot first-person shooter to compete with Quake or releasing a fighter to take a bite out of Mortal Kombat. Instead, they took niche genres and brought them to the mainstream in ways no one would have ever thought possible. We might all be anxiously awaiting the latest news on Diablo III and Starcraft II, but we'd like to take this opportunity to look back at the greatest Blizzard franchise of them all, Warcraft. From its humble beginnings as one of the first games as its kind, to the biggest online game in the world, Warcraft has stayed one step ahead. With BlizzCon just around the corner, we take a look back at the series that catapulted Blizzard to international fame.
WarCraft III Demo Now Available

The demo features a two-mission tutorial, 3 new missions, and head to head play on Battle.net. If the prospect sounds interesting to you, head to Blizzard's WarCraft III Demo Page to download a copy. http://www.blizzard.com/war3/demo/

Some cool stuff. Unfortunately, the majority of the phone layouts have no clear calls to action. Take the Inspire Conference just for one. What am I supposed to do when I go to this on my phone? It offers no direction, no buttons, nothing.
These are responsive for the sake of being responsive rather than having a purpose. If there is no purpose other than to try and look cutting egde, then you might as well give up on yourself as a web designer. That is just the same as using Flash for the sake of using Flash.
Sites like Forefathers have actually thought about and tested how their site works and looks at a smaller size.

Just be careful… Responsive Web Design is not just about widgets. RWD is about methodology, code management, and good design — not just media queries. The RWD you read about is reality only for brochure and news sites, not for web applications.

any of you have an extra co2 tank for cheap?
hey guys. Im in need of another co2 tank, preferably 10 or 20lb. But Idont have much money as I am a freshmen in highschool. anyways, pm me if you have anything :)
Hey Allen,
You might consider renting a tank from Airgas or other local welding supply. They aren't that expensive for 10 lbs. Another resource that I use and have had good luck with is used restaurant equipment places. I got 2 ten lb bottles for $25 each, then went to airgas and exchanged them for full ones at $18 a piece.
Good luck

Hello Everyone,
I'm working with a rather large blog and the client would like something to create regular backups for him. I've read about lots of different plugins for this but have not used any of them personally so cannot really say which may be my best and most reliable pick from the bunch.
Have any of you used WordPress backup plugins? I typically just backup my server and databases through cPanel but this client wants something a little less time consuming and I guess I somewhat understand.
Any suggestions would be awesome!
Thanks, Bryce
I use this for the db: http://ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup/ but I don't backup media, but I guess I should
Media is something he wants included in the backups. Majority of his WordPress posts contain Media Uploads / Image attachments.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I will look into it.
Well I can do this with cron job…
It will backup your whole mysql database of wordpress and zip all the files and store it in some perticuler folder..
if you would like this.. please contact me through my profile..
Waiting for your reply…
Hello VIJAYJOSHI ,
Thanks so much for your offering to assist.
The client I am working with unfortunately uses a hosting provider that does not allow cron jobs. This was one of my first thoughts but am not able to do it since he does not have access to that ability.
Thanks so much.
Well then i will do this thing with php and i will host cron jobs on my hosting server.
BackupBuddy for the win! http://pluginbuddy.com/purchase/backupbuddy/

I feel sad for an old blue CJ
Greetings you all from one of the JK-ers here. Every day on my way to work I drive by an auto salvage yard. The yard is next to some train tracks, and I drive over a bridge that goes over the tracks, so I get a good look down into the yard.
Yesterday sitting close by the car smasher was an old light blue CJ. It had no soft top on it or the doors - just sitting there filled up with snow here in Cleveland. I felt sort of sad for it, just sitting there, knowing that a classic is going to be lost.
I assume that the next couple days it'll be smashed into a cube then sent off to the steel mill to be recycled.
If anybody wants to rescue it, the salvage yard is:
Bedford Auto Wrecking, Inc., 7270 Division Street, Bedford, OH 44146
(440) 232-6474
It will probably turn into this, just saying. > 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Sport S: :whistling:
You're probably right! I wonder if there are any old recycled Jeeps in my JK.
1 Attachment(s)
what they can't crush a old blue CJ! Some one did not love it. like I do.
I real Jeep guy don't not send his Jeep to the junkyard he rebuild's it!
Looks like a pretty awesome trail to me.:punk:

Social Bicycles Brings 'Smart' Bike Share to Hoboken
As New Yorkers get used to blue Citibikes and their docks and kiosks on streets in parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, Hoboken residents across the Hudson are experimenting with a wildly different model for how to share bikes.
Social Bicycles — a startup based in Manhattan — is partnering with Hoboken on a 25-bike pilot program this summer and fall. Unlike Citibikes, Social Bikes are 'smart': All of the communications technology is housed on-board in a solar-powered box above the back wheel.
"The same way your cell phone has a cell phone connection, so does each of our bikes," says Social Bicycles co-founder Ryan Rzepecki. "There's some really powerful advantages to that."
Rzepecki's bikes collect real-time GPS data, so his company can pinpoint the location of any bike at any time. That makes tracking a missing or stolen bike as easy as logging on to a secure website and looking at a map, and it could help a city like Hoboken re-design its transportation infrastructure.
"Understanding where bicyclists are riding — and just as importantly, where they aren't riding — can be a tremendously useful planning tool," said Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer. "It will allow us to focus our resources regarding network upgrades and bike parking needs so we can make our streets safer and more accommodating."
Not everyone has such faith in the power of real-time GPS, however. New York City's transportation department says it's superfluous.
"NYC Bike Share is incorporating GPS in the coming year to collect general information, not for real-time tracking, which is not necessary for system operation," DOT spokesman Seth Solomonow wrote in an e-mail.
The Social Bikes technology could also help with the onerous process of bicycle redistribution. In most bike share programs, including New York's, bikes pile up in popular spots and have to be trucked back to other docks, which costs money and time.
Social Bicycles have an integrated U-bar that allows them to be locked to any rack or pole, so there are no docks.
The company works with partner cities like Hoboken to define geofenced zones called "hub locations" where the bikes can be locked up, and it has devised a way to shift bikes via pedal power.
"To guide the redistribution of bikes, we provide incentives," Rzepecki says. "If you lock up outside of a hub location, you can do so, but you're paying an extra charge, and the next user to take that bike and bring it back to a hub that needs a bike, gets a credit."
In the case of Hoboken, users lose $5 if they lock up outside a hub and make $5 if they move a misplaced bike back to a hub.
Rzepecki says this model can be refined as needed so busy hubs could be made bigger with a click of a button or the incentive structure could be adapted to encourage users to move bikes to specific hubs that need bikes.
Aside from offering a quick way to make $5, all this technology helps riders find and reserve bikes and track and even tweet their rides. Riders can reserve a bike from a web browser or smartphone app or simply by typing a four-digit PIN on a keypad on the bike's on-board computer.
Rzepecki calls Social Bicycles "a lightweight social network." After a trip, riders can view maps of the ground they covered, see their friends' trips and statistics and share it all on social media right through the Social Bikes interface.
"There's an embedded social component within the site, and then we're pushing out the activity to the other social networks as well," he says.

A courier driver's heart must surely sink when he (or she) has to make a delivery to a residential address. While a company address is virtually guaranteed to be open during normal business hours, it's not always easy to gain access to a private home.
And, while a business is likely to have a receptionist on hand to take receipt of a package, a home address may well be unoccupied for most of the day. Add to the mix locked gates, angry dogs and homeowners in a state of undress, and it's clear a courier driver's lot is not always a happy one.
Years ago I discovered from personal experience that a private home makes an unsuitable address for a courier parcel. All too often the courier would leave a card saying he (or she) had called while I was out. Then by the time I'd had the package redirected to an address where someone was in attendance all day (my husband's place of work), it would have been faster if the package had simply been sent through the standard mail system.
I've long been a fan of the postal service. I used to marvel at how a letter could be hand delivered to any New Zealand address for just 40-cents. (I won't mention that this same service once cost 4-cents because I'm far too young to remember that.)
When a parcel is sent by courier, all too often it's for the benefit of the sender. It can be highly inconvenient for the recipient - if they feel they have to stay in all day to sign for it or if they have to have it redirected to another address or (worse) have to travel to a depot to collect the package from the courier company.
Two weeks before Christmas I posted a medium-sized package from Auckland to a P.O. Box in Hawkes Bay. It was packed in one of those NZ Post cardboard boxes and I sent it by standard mail. (I even declined the "Track & Trace" option offered; it doesn't mean your package won't go missing so I'm not entirely sure of the point of it.)
Anyway, just 24 hours later at 10.25am the very next morning I received a text from the recipient: "Wow. A whole lot of pressies arrived ... Thank you muchly." I kid you not. I love NZ Post. But not everyone is a raving fan of old-fashioned snail mail; columnist Kerre McIvor told of a parcel that "vanished" somewhere in the postal system after she paid $110 to send it to London.
There is no shortage of anecdotes about packages going missing or being delivered in inappropriate ways. One British article revealed courier driver sins that ranged from: "tales of couriers hurling laptops over garden fences, to packages left to rot in the snow, to delivery drivers not even bothering to knock on the door before poking a 'sorry we missed you card' through the letterbox."
The BBC lists more "parcel delivery nightmares" including: a parcel that was put in a recycling bin which was emptied before it could be retrieved, flowers which were thrown over a wall by a courier and not discovered until they were "soggy and rotten" - and a package containing a laptop being placed in a compost bin.
Two common gripes about courier drivers are when they leave a package at an unattended residence even though it was stipulated that a signature was required and when they leave a "Card to Call" note without checking first to see if the resident was at home. Both of these problems stem from the simple, yet seldom acknowledged, fact that (unless the occupant is in attendance all day) private residences are not really suitable addresses for couriered items.
Courier services, which must have been established with corporate customers firmly in mind, are often a source of frustration for both the domestic recipient and the courier driver. But demand for courier deliveries at home is here to stay. With the increase in trade via online shopping and through auction sites, domestic customers are a valuable component of the courier business. And until some smart courier company creates a service that takes the needs of domestic recipients into account, they will continue to bear the brunt of a flawed system.
What's your experience with receiving courier packages at home? Why haven't courier companies tailored services to suit the needs of the domestic consumer?

I have had my clarisonic for almost a year and it's been great. I love that you can use any cleanser with it. I do really enjoy using the acne cleanser from clarisonic to fight my adult acne. The Mia is so great at taking off all of your makeup and leaving your skin feeling so clean. You'll never want to go back to washing your face by hand again. Definitely work the money.5

Coronation Street's Ken Barlow will still appear on New Zealand TV screens despite the actor who plays him being arrested on two rape charges.
It was announced yesterday that Bill Roache - the longest-serving soap star in the UK - would not shoot any more episodes and his character's storyline was being re-written.
The 81-year-old will be edited out of scenes already shot until the conclusion of legal proceedings.
But the show screens in New Zealand 18 months behind the UK and TVNZ spokeswoman Megan Richards said episodes would not be changed for local TV.
The broadcaster made the same decision earlier in the year when Roache's colleague Michael Le Vell, who plays Kevin Webster, was charged with child sex offences.
"We're 18 months behind so it would be quite impractical for us, especially now that there are two characters involved," Ms Richards said.
"We will let it run and see how things go in the UK ... any edited versions that arrive from the UK will be played."
The show screens on TV One on Thursdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and had an audience of 322,420 last Thursday. It was the fifth most-watched show on a free-to-air channel that day.
Roache was due to appear in two episodes to screen tonight on UK television but bosses have edited the scenes. Ken would be seen battling step-daughter Tracy over neglecting daughter Amy, the Daily Mirror reported.
Roache, who has played Barlow since the show launched in 1960, is charged with two counts of raping a 15-year-old girl in 1967. The arrest is not linked to Operation Yewtree - the probe into Jimmy Saville.
He was arrested at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire on Wednesday (local time) and is due to appear in court on May 14.
Father-of-four Roache arrived back in the UK just days ago after a trip to New Zealand, where he was appearing in a Corrie play. He was one of many Coronation Street stars who had voiced their support for Le Vell.


text: So my 94 is having what I think is timing issues concerning the timing advance. The truck stays constantly 20 degrees advanced at idol and under heavy load and anything inbetween. My MPG is lacking and it is lacking power under heavy load starting off the line. The truck is timed correctly, disconnected the wire under the dash to time it and everything. Is this normal or is something wrong? Also, I'm looking into a performance chip to help with MPG's and power. To me after I give it past 50% throttle it feels like the fuel is being limited cause the truck wont give anymore after 50% throttle. What kind of chip should I look into? I've looked at Jet Chips but they wont respond to any of my question.

Pretty much everything else was a downer. It was very hard to massage into my hair AND to rinse out. My normal-dry hair looked dirty and clumpy. Even heat styling and leave in shampoo didn't help. Not worth the organic wonder-- too crunchy. I'd recommend this for a super granola person who doesn't mind dirty feeling hair but wants all natural ingredients.

I should warn you right up front, when it comes to John Darnielle and his band the Mountain Goats, I'm incapable of objectivity. If you were to tell me, "I don't think John Darnielle is necessarily the greatest songwriter of our generation," my first response would be, "Fuck you, what do you know about music?" That's how unobjective I am. All Eternal Decks, the Goats' 18th album — give or take a few cassettes — is probably not going to be his mainstream breakout hit. Which, as far as I'm concerned, is a blessing. I enjoy that being a Mountain Goats fan puts me in a minority. I like that their music is only played on college radio stations, and that I'll never be standing in line at a grocery store and overhear a gaggle of teenage girls saying, "Yo, have you heard 'Going to Georgia'? That shit is mad fresh, dawg!" There's a weird comfort in going to a Mountain Goats' show — and if you're anywhere near the West Coast during their upcoming tour in late June, you'll get the chance soon enough — and standing in line outside the venue with people who think just like you. For at least one night, you're not the only one who wonders why there hasn't been a new song about the Alpha Couple in years, or if Darnielle never released Hail and Farewell, Gothenburg because it was too autobiographical, or whether his songs about movie monsters are thematically linked to his songs about Christianity.
I called Darnielle as he was preparing to fly overseas for a tour of England. I'll be honest, I was terrified to speak with him. No good can come from talking to your idols. More often than not, they turn out to be pompous douchebags or vapid navel-gazers. Darnielle was neither. It helped that he laughed nervously almost as much as I did.
I was thinking about starting this interview by screaming "'Golden Boy'! 'Goooolden Boy'!" But is the reference too obscure and fan-boy nerdy?
Oh man, you're getting off on a bad foot.
Because only a handful of readers are going to get the joke that "Golden Boy" is an old song you don't perform anymore and you actually get annoyed when people loudly request it during your concerts?
I don't know if I get annoyed. I just find nothing amusing about "Golden Boy" yelling. It's boring and awful. I might play it more if people wouldn't routinely wreck the concert moment by yelling it. I just don't want to feed the troll.
Your new album All Eternal's Deck is produced by Erik Rutan, the frontman for death metal band Hate Eternal. Which is kinda bizarre. Did you pick Rutan as some sort of ironic wink to your audience?
Not at all. I'm trying to make an assertion about the nature of genre. For the most part, people who are into music are into music as a form of expression, not just a specific genre. I don't know any rap guys who only listen to rap. I don't know metal guys who only listen to metal. I don't know punks who only listen to punk. You may go through a six-month phase when you first get into something and you're like, "This is the only kind of music I care about!" But nobody is that way all the time. You can tell by listening to most heavy metal that these guys are like any other music fan. They're into sound and the nature of what sounds do when you corral them.
Is the obscurity of death metal part of the appeal for you?
It was a long time ago. Right now, pretty much every indie rock musician in the world is into metal. It's not a private pleasure anymore, although much of the stuff I enjoy is still fairly below the radar. And a lot of it is dated because I'm not listening to the stuff that people are digging. But yeah, there's that aspect of it where it's nice to be a part of a mostly ignored subculture.
I'm trying to imagine you at a death metal concert. Do you wear all black? Are you the guy who sings along with every song, or do you just stand in the back and nod your head?
I used to get in the pit, but I'm getting a little long in the tooth for that. The last time was three or four years ago. If I take a knee now, I'll be limping for a week. But yeah, I participate. I'm a member of the crowd. I don't try to be aloof. When I went to thrash shows in the '80s, I used to wear a tie and a vest, because I thought it was badass. But everybody thought I was from a record label.
Your most famous song just so happens to be about death metal. Because of "The Best Ever Death Metal Band In Denton," has Denton, Texas become a mecca for up-and-coming death metal bands formed by disaffected teens? Have you single-handedly created a scene?
I wouldn't know. You would have to ask someone who lives there. That was one of those automatic composition songs where I was just playing a chord and ad-libbing out loud and the lyrics just sort of came out. Denton was a randomly chosen city. It could be any place with strip malls where suburban-thrasher kids might live.
You recorded an amazing cover of Ace of Base's "The Sign" back in 1995. But you haven't done a cover like that in almost fifteen years. What are your musical guilty pleasures these days?
I don't have any guilty pleasures. "The Sign" was not a guilty pleasure for me. I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If you like music, it's fine. You shouldn't feel guilty about listening to anything.
Okay, what are your non-guilty mainstream pleasures? Do you listen to a lot of Ke$ha or Katy Perry?
I don't listen to much pop music, but just because I don't hear much that I enjoy. Not because I think it's bad or anything. It's just when I hear it, it doesn't really speak to me.
How about Beyoncé? [Sings] "Who run the world? Girls/ Who run the world? Girls." Not doing anything for you?
Nope. It just doesn't grab me. I'm the same way with country. I know a lot of smart people who love country music, but it doesn't snap for me. I like to be able to hear a little of the amplifier. I've listened to Rodney Crowell's records from the '80s, and they have a very bright sheen to them. They're not the so-called authentic sounding cowboy hat-dude music. They're proper Nashville records. I love the way they sound. I also love Rosanne Cash and the way Interiors sounds. But the rest of it, I don't know. Maybe it's bad mastering or they're all working off the same template. Nobody seems to have an original and exciting vision for how they want things to sound.
You've written pretty extensively about troubled relationships. Does that have any effect on your own marriage? Do you ever worry about making the same mistakes as some of the characters in your songs?
No, no, no. There's not much risk of that. I'm just telling stories. It's really not that hard to not be an appalling human being. I guess maybe younger songwriters would romanticize and secretly admire the bad people they're writing about, but I sure don't. I see no appeal in living a wasted life.
But all couples fight, and sometimes we say things we don't mean in the heat of the moment. You're telling me you never said something unfair or mean to the person you love and thought, "Oh shit, where did that come from? For like a nanosecond, I was the douchebag from 'No Children'?"
The thing is, I have empathy for every character I sing through. But that song, "No Children," is kind of funny and I'm not laughing with those people, I'm laughing at them. It's funny to watch people who are that messed up. It's maybe not the most admirable trait in a human being to be amused by that, and I think that's why I try to have some empathy for them. But the funny parts of that song? That's not me saying, "Hey, isn't it hilarious how people treat each other bad?" It's me saying, "You guys are wasting your single opportunity to occupy this human body." I don't have any admiration for them. If I had any admiration, it's the same admiration you have for a smoking wreck. It looks kind of awesome. But you don't want one in your back yard.
Hail and Farewell, Gothenburg, an album you recorded and never intended to release, leaked on the Internet a few years ago. You've been pretty vocal about your anger that the record is out there, but have you disowned it because it was leaked without your consent, or because the music isn't up to your standards?
It was mastered at the wrong speed, so it's kind of like ... I don't know. For one thing, it's old. I'm generally just not that interested in stuff that's old. I didn't think it was good enough to release then, so I certainly don't think it is now.
I don't know if I should admit this, but I've listened to it, and it's one of my favorite Mountain Goats albums.
Hey, if people enjoy it, that's fine. I personally have no interest in it. I don't think it's very good. I do think some people think it's good because I don't think it's very good. And that is a strange dynamic.
Maybe it's just appealing because you have to hunt it down. It's not something you just download from iTunes.
But here's the thing, you don't have to hunt it down. It's the Internet. If you find something by typing it into Google, you're hardly Sherlock Holmes. It's strange to say things are mysterious when there's no such thing as mystery anymore. The only Mountain Goats mysteries are the things I don't tell anybody about.
Here's a hypotheses, and you tell me if I'm full of shit: Bob Dylan hated his bootlegs. But as it turns out, many of his bootlegs were better than the officially released stuff. So is there ever a moment late at night when you're in bed, and you wonder if maybe, just maybe, the stuff you think is crap is brilliant and the stuff you think is brilliant is crap, and you've been hiding the wrong songs?
I understand what you're saying. But you're also talking about things that are 15 years old, from before I got very good at writing songs.
I could not disagree with you more. I like your new stuff, but disowning everything that came before is like a 70-year-old Bob Dylan saying, "'Highway 61 Revisited' was a bunch of bullshit."
Well, take an album like Heretic Pride, which I think is much, much better than a lot of Mountain Goats fans do. But that's a different thing. You're talking about songs that are pretty obviously workbook stuff, and the max number of people who were ever going to care about them or even hear them are in the low thousands. I think that Bob Dylan, if you were going to engage him on this subject of his bootlegs, would say, "I can see what people like about that, but that's not what I like about what I do." And that's how I feel about it.
What's your policy on stealing your music?
What's my policy?
If somebody who adores your music has maybe illegally downloaded an album or two of yours, is that something you would consider unforgivable?
Well, it's kind of like asking how I feel about radio. Anything that involves people discovering and being interested in my music, I'm in favor of. It does mean that I don't play as much stuff when it's brand new. Because the moment you do, somebody is gonna record it on their cellphone and upload it onto the Internet. You used to be able to play new songs on tour and get good at it before everybody in the world had a chance to hear it. Things are usually not very good the first time you play them. They're only good after you've given them a little road work. It's not a complaint, it's just the reality.
So you don't take it personally?
I can't. Like for instance, there was an interesting thing once called oral tradition, long before the printing press. But there's no point in really bemoaning the loss of that. Because what are you asking? For people to stop printing things? That would be ridiculous.
About a month ago, I wrote something about how I illegally downloaded an advance leak of All Eternals Deck, and I wasn't sure how to make peace with that. So ... I'm not sure why I'm telling you any of this, because it's not like you're going to give me permission to steal from you, right?
I'm really uncomfortable with being in a position of dispensing or denying permission. To me, if people are listening to my music, that is awesome. How they listen to it, that's between them and what they enjoy. To me, I generally don't want to hear something until it's ready to be presented. I don't generally go and grab people's demos. There are occasional differences. I own every note that Syd Barrett ever committed to tape in any studio anywhere. There was stuff he recorded that was not ready to fly, and I don't listen to that stuff. I'm sure there are Barrett-heads who are like, "Oh yeah, the best one is where he fucked up mid-way through." I don't care about that stuff. I care about stuff that the artist generally thought was good.
Yeah, but that's not what I'm asking. Bootlegs are one thing, but I'm talking about an album that was officially released, and I downloaded it for free. On a scale of one to ten, ten being you want to punch me hard in the throat right now ...
Do I care if people grab an early leak? No. I don't understand why artists would care about that. Do I care if somebody doesn't buy it and has some bogus explanation for why they're trying to not support the evil music business? I don't, but I think those are ridiculous opinions. But I don't care. The bottom line is, are people enjoying my music? Do they come to my shows and have a good time? If they do, then it's all good.

Thanks for playing
Well... Mom was really excited she got to update my profile today and change my weight... I now weigh... drum roll pawlease.... 48lbs!!! Thats a 10 pound weight loss since Mom got me about 6 weeks ago. I am now in the average bulldog weight range. Yeah for me!! Mom is pretty sure that I was free fed before because the first time she fed me I only took a couple bites and then left the bowl... but I quickly learned that if I did that Riley or Milo (the cat) would eat my food and then I would be hungry. FREE FEEDING is very bad for dogs and cats!! Well diary... talk to you later!! Woofs and Slobber - Dozer

Consumers are EQUIPPED with a number of tricks to help them save a few dollars when it comes to grocery shopping. Coupons, rewards cards, mail-in rebates and mobile apps are just a few ways to show off thrifty skills. But as much as these resources play a role in their saving habits, they also can limit where consumers shop and how much they buy. Enter the warehouse/club stores.

The Trip to Tanzania Was Simply Mesmerizing
It's Super Bowl weekend. Excitement is in the air. Bobby had gone back to Florida to start planning another safari with Sharon, possibly challenging Mt. Kilimanjaro in October. I am finally rested enough to start organizing pictures and videos taken on the trip. Reflecting back, worlds apart from my current reality, Tanzania, the scenery, the animals, the sound, the smell, the color, and the people. Each frame and clip transport me right back to the magical land; its primordial essence and life force.
Bobby and I booked the safari with ADS two months before our departure. Unlike Bobby, who talked to everyone and their brother who's ever been on an African safari, I barely read the handbook and got all the gears just a few days before Bobby and I met at the airport.
I wanted to have a firsthand and empirical experience of my African dream safari so I went on the safari without much preconceived notion or expectation. And boy was I elated and amazed by the entire voyage! Our guide, Russell, was AWESOME! Game drives were exciting!! All the tented camps were great. The food was delicious and everybody we met along the journey was wonderful!!!
Since we got back a week ago, I started reading all the other fellow ADS travelers' "bush reports." Ha! Our safari was just as brilliant as they had all described! Out of all the memorable moments forever etched in my heart and mind, I think my biggest amazement was that, not unlike human beings, how lonely and vulnerable a wild animal can be once being "kicked out" of its own group, and how collaboration helps survival, with the exception of the solitary female cheetahs, of course.
Two special sightings I'd like to share here are both with cheetahs.
When Russell pulled the car close to a pair of young male cheetahs feasting on their early morning kill, the poor little wildebeest was more than half eaten. Nearby, 30~40 vultures were waiting, and they waited patiently. As each cheetah took turn feeding on the best part of the meat while his buddy on the lookout over the next hour, more vultures landed from above and inched in on the cheetahs as if they knew the cheetahs were almost done. Their patience finally paid off as one of the cheetahs began to walk away. The flock moved in swiftly before the remaining cheetah left. Annoyed, the cheetah turned to the scavengers to chase them away as his buddy joined in to fend off the birds as if telling them THEY were the boss. Wow…what an ugly sight! Within the next 20 minutes, vultures fought off each other to grab a good bite. They squealed, and they fought. I now have a fresh understanding of why calling someone a vulture is such an insult!
Then one day we came upon a slender female cheetah hiding in the tall grass of the open plain. She appeared to be hungry and weak. We watched her in the car over our box lunch rooting for her to get some lunch of her own with perhaps a weaker prey coming through her hideout spot. Without the usual ease and grace, the girl cheetah paced, lied down, stood up, patrolled, dug the ground then sat upright. Appearing alert and a bit nervous over the vultures overhead, the three of us in the car all wondered what was going on. As an hour passed by without much action, Russell suggested that we'd moved in a bit closer before moving on. As soon as we parked the car directly in front of the cheetah blocking her view, she actually became relaxed and fetched out something and began to eat. Much to our amazement, the cheetah actually had a small gazelle hidden in the bush. With this bigah-ha, Russell explained to us about the cheetah's behavior that we've observed in the past hour. Instead of devouring on the fresh kill, for over an hour, the cheetah was trying to fake the vultures so they don't attract the hyenas to loot her food away. And once we parked the car in front of her blocking her from the hyenas' view, the cheetah felt safe enough to start dining on the baby gazelle in a hurry. WOW, we had just witnessed a harsh reality for the survivor of the fittest on the Serengeti Plain!
Aside from all the wonderful safari activities, Bobby and I had so much fun competing to see who could spot the most animals without Russell's help. We even managed to learn all the Swahili names of all the animals encountered along the way. I won, of course. And Bobby was a good sport. But think Russell was actually the one who got entertained the most in our 9-day-long expedition!
All in all, the trip to Tanzania was simply mesmerizing. I am grateful for Bobby and thankful for ADS for making my African dream safari a reality. Wishing all who hear Africa's calling would come to this magical land and experience its enchantment for themselves at least once in a lifetime. Surely, I will be back.

Hi Judy,
You took some top notch photos and it was really enjoyable reading your review. I leave in 18 days! I hope to see lots of cheetahs as they are my favorite. I have only seen in the zoo before and I am very excited to see in the wild. Thanks for getting me even more jazzed now. I sure wont sleep for the next 17 nights : >
Replied your message earlier but didn't get posted and not sure why, Alicia.
Am SO excited for you 'cuz I just KNOW you're going to have the journey of a lifetime!!!
Have fun and share with us when you come back! Please say ALOHA to all the cheetahs for me!
Great Photos!
Thank you, Brian. I had fun picking up the camera again and wished I had a bigger zoom lens, haha! And the most amazing part about capturing those moments was the feeling of "connectedness" with the animals in a way that's beyond human languages, mine anyway, if you know what I mean.
Life is beautiful!
A hui hou,

The STEVAL-MKI080V1 demonstration board is designed to provide the user with a complete, ready-to-use platform for demonstration of the LPR410AL product family.
The STEVAL-MKI080V1 includes a sensing element and an IC interface capable of translating information from the sensing element into a measured signal that can be used for external applications.
In addition to the MEMS sensor, the demonstration board uses an ST7 microcontroller which functions as a bridge between the sensor and the PC. This makes it possible to download the graphical user interface (GUI) from the website or to use dedicated software routines for customized applications.
The STEVAL-MKI080V1 demonstration board has been designed for use in two different working modes: analog and digital.
In analog mode (AWM) the microcontroller is disabled and the analog outputs of the device are available to the user on a dedicated connector. This is the default working mode when power is supplied through either the USB connector or the supply connector.
In digital mode (DWM) the microcontroller is enabled and allows the user to digitally acquire the output signals of the device, to view them on the PC through the dedicated GUI, and to manage the control pins of the device.
Key Features
- Two different working modes:
- analog (AWM)
- digital (DWM)
- RoHS compliant

Like the American backpackers in the movie from which "The Slaughtered Lamb" derives its name, I simply muttered "what the bloody hell kinda name for a pub is 'The Slaughtered Lamb'." Regardless, we entered. On the wall, by what may be perhaps the tiniest bathroom in all of Manhattan, is a poster of An American Werewolf in London.

- Dr. Jose Antonio does some scientific myth busting and gives you the real low-down on creatine. Dr. Antonio writes this as a guest post on Nick Tumminello's site so you have to ignore all of the advertising but the post is excellent and we assure you that Dr. Antonio is an expert in this area and a highly reliable source. Don't take our word for it though, you can check out his biography on the International Society of Sports Nutrition Board of Directors.
- Nutrition and cognitive function, again! Not surprising given the need for research in this area. Unfortunately, the latest confuses the issue more than it clarifies anything. A systematic review concluded that omega-3 fish oil supplements have no benefits on cognitive health. Importantly, the studies reviewed (three trials totalling 3,536 people) only lasted between 6 months and up to 3.5 years, and were likely not sufficient to determine the true long-term effects. Keep in mind that foods are different than supplements and there are many excellent reasons to eat fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Don't let this deter you!
- Summer means healthy, delicious salads but only if you don't drown them in unhealthy, high fat, high sodium salad dressings! Registered Dietitian Leslie Beck takes you through the healthiest oils for salad dressings. Make your own dressings by mixing these healthy oils with vinegar in a ratio of 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. Get creative and play with balsamic, sherry, raspberry, cider, and rice vinegars. You can also add some fresh herbs, citrus flavours, or salt and pepper.
- In case you haven't heard the Mayor of NYC has put forward an initiative to reduce soda consumption. Check out Marion Nestle's comments on the initial proposal and follow up on June 2 and June 12. Most frightening, however, is the post on how the soda industry strikes back. Our favourite part is the choice exerpts from a USA Today's interview with Katie Bayne, Coke's president in North America. Here's a taste of how they are sweetening the facts.
"A calorie is a calorie. What our drinks offer is hydration. That's essential to the human body. We offer great taste and benefits whether it's an uplift or carbohydrates or energy. We don't believe in empty calories. We believe in hydration."

Iwaki Auditorium,
October 5
St John's Southgate,
October 5
In Melbourne for two performances of Haydn's Nelson Mass with the Melbourne Symphony, soprano Sara Macliver collaborated with pianist Toni Lalich in a recital for the KPMG Rising Stars series. She is yet another example of a musician with a steady career output of opera roles, CDs and concert appearances being cast as a young hopeful.
The theme was Jeux d'enfants, taking in songs familiar and obscure, ostensibly dealing with the various stages of a child's day. Macliver began with the unexpectedly languorous strophes of Baudelaire in Duparc's setting of L'invitation au voyage.
Then followed a love song, Massenet's Ouvre tes yeux bleus before the emphatically adolescent My Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair by Haydn.
In the first half of this amiable recital, some child-centred work did eventually emerge: Debussy's Chevaux de bois and cradle songs by Mendelssohn and Warlock.
But the program's disparate elements did not sit easily together, although the soprano sang with charm and piercingly truthful intonation, ably assisted by Lalich's undemonstrative accompaniments.
Simultaneous with this recital, the Southbank Players made their last appearance for the year without their leader, violinist Marcelle Mallette, who has returned to Canada.
After a brief opening bracket of the Sextet Prelude to Capriccio by Strauss and Mozart's Oboe Quartet, the group moved, after interval, into Tchaikovsky's weltering Souvenir de Florence.
Ensemble members familiar from the Melbourne Symphony ranks included violinists Monica Curro and Kirstin Kenny, and violists Christopher Moore and Gabrielle Halloran. Virginia Kable and Zoe Knighton appear in about two out of three MSO events. This collegiality ensured that the reading would be confident and technically secure.
So it proved to be with a vehement attack on the first Allegro, setting a level of energetic projection that the group sustained, through the ardent slow movement where the top and bottom instruments combined volubly, coming to a gripping acceleration in the last pages of the finale.
While the occasional viola and violin note betrayed a sharpness arising from over-intense address, the Players' ensemble work came across as highly exciting in delivery and typified by a compelling, gutsy tone-colour from all quarters.

Wadali Brothers
Wadali Brothers are Sufi singers and musicians from Guru ki Wadali in the Amritsar District in Punjab, India. Born into the fifth generation of musicians given to singing the messages of Sufi saints, the Wadali brothers dabbled in the most unexpected of professions before swaras (Music notes) became their religion. While Puranchand Wadali, the elder brother, was a regular in an akharas(wresting houses) for a good 25 years, Pyarelal, the younger one, contributed to the meager family income by playing the role of Krishna in the village rasleela.

Reading Area Near Top Of List With Most Obese Populations
Ranks 5th On Gallup's List Of Most Obese Areas
The Reading area is once again finding itself near the top of a list it rather not be on.
According to the results of a Gallup / Healthways poll released in March, the Reading metropolitan area, which includes all of Berks County, is 5th on the list of most obese metropolitan areas in the United States.
The survey found that 33.8 percent of adults living in Berks County are obese.
"We definitely see a lot of patients that are obese," said Nicole Rhoads, a registered dietitian at St. Joseph Medical Center's Community Campus in downtown Reading.
The most common problem Rhoads said she notices with her patients is that they are skipping healthy foods while overloading on things like sweets.
The Harrisburg-Carlisle metropolitan area, which includes Cumberland, Dauphin, and Perry counties, ranked 7th on the list, with 33 percent of its population obese.
The least obese area of the country was found to be Boulder, Colorado, with 12.9 percent of its adult population obese.
Nationwide, 26.6 percent of American adults were obese in 2010, unchanged from 2009, but higher than 25.5 percent in 2008, according to the survey.
LINK:More Than 1 in 5 Adults Obese in U.S. Metro Areas
Gallup's survey also found that chronic diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are significantly more prevalent in the 10 most obese metro areas than in the 10 that are the least obese.
High blood pressure, for instance, is 10 percentage points higher in the most obese metro areas than in the least obese ones, according to the survey, which also found that more adults also report having had a heart attack in the places where obesity is the highest.
"I've seen people lose a lot of weight just by cutting out soda in their diet," said Rhoads. "The little things like that can really go a long way."
Rhoads said adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet is just one way to maintain a healthy weight.
Another way may not come as a surprise, but Gold's Gym general manager Adam Schmidt said getting at least a half-hour to 45 minutes of cardio exercise can do wonders.
"It's really important to set goals, have a plan, meet with a trainer," said Schmidt. "Then they can take you through everything and it's not just you by yourself."
Gallup tracks U.S. obesity levels as part of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, using Americans' self-reported height and weight to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) scores. BMI scores of 30 or higher are considered obese.

Our Students
Pauline Pelsy-Johann
Sorbonne, Paris IV
Pauline Pelsy-Johann is a self-proclaimed warrior. She knows what she wants and she is not afraid to grab it.
Therefore, when the opportunity arose for her to further her education through Smith's American Studies Diploma Program and still be able to focus on her passion for studying and making films, Pauline took full advantage. In the yearlong program, Pauline is strengthening her knowledge of American culture, refining her English, making films, and writing a thesis.
For Pauline filmmaking is "not a choice," she says, but a "way of life." Growing up with actor parents, she traveled from theater to theater across Europe, learning to view the world with an eye for drama and style. At age 8, she became acquainted with the camera.
"At 8, I have a video camera in my hands, and at this moment, I think, 'this is my life,'" she recalls. From then on, she focused on filmmaking, dedicated much of her time in high school and college to the subject and directing, producing, and writing a number of films.
It's difficult for Pauline to name her favorite project. "Each movie is a new adventure, a new life," she says. But after a pause, she decides upon her film project, Sous L'oeil d'Iris, a short comedy she created for the CNOUS-CROUS, a French government-sponsored media festival in which she took home first prize. Pauline is partial to the film because its purpose was to show her talent as a director, especially as a woman working in a field that is typically dominated by men.
For her thesis at Smith, Pauline is studying the novel Wise Blood, by Flannery O'Connor, and its cinematographic adaptation by director John Huston, relating them to the building of the American identity through mysticism. The project expands not only on her film career but also upon her master's degree in comparative literature completed at the Sorbonne, Paris IV.
Pauline is working on two other possible film projects as well. One is a documentary about the history of Dawes, the French house on campus and Pauline's current home away from home.
Pauline loves her house at Smith, especially because she and her housemates sometimes cook French dishes, a treat that she desperately misses from home. She is not a huge fan of American food.
She has noticed other cultural differences, as well, such as the fast pace of American life. "Every minute is planned here," she says, recollecting the spontaneity of going out to visit friends at bistros or bars in Paris each evening around 7 p.m. Luckily for Pauline, Dawes house allows her to go out and experience American culture yet still be able to return to a place that resembles her home.
From her success in school to overcoming the obstacles within the male-dominated film profession, Pauline Pelsy-Johann has proven herself to be a determined and strong individual. She expands out of her comfort zone even further as she encounters an entirely new culture here in the United States and pursues her goals with as much focus as ever.
Pauline already knows what she wants to do next. In 2007, she worked as a film studies teacher for high school-aged students and fell in love with the idea of teaching as a career. She plans to earn her doctorate from an American university, teach film studies at the college level, and of course, have the freedom to direct her own films—as she says, her "ideal way of life.

After beating the broader market for 18 months, analysts are calling an end to the relative outperformance of Australian listed trusts as valuations stretch and earnings growth stutters.
The Morgan Stanley property team, led by Lou Pirenc, has urged clients that it is time to take profits and cut its view on the Australian real estate investment trust sector from "in-line" to "cautious".
The call is not predicated on downside risk; earnings and valuations are seen as relatively stable.
Listed trusts are expected to struggle to outperform as a result of sub-par earnings growth, weaker than anticipated cap rate compression, and reasonably full valuations.
Mr Pirenc said that while the sector had performed well on the back of its defensive earnings, steady growth, ability and willingness to improve returns and a significant decline in the cost of debt, it was an uphill battle from here.
"With much of that benefit now in the price, it will become a bigger challenge for A-REITs to drive sufficient earnings per share and net asset value momentum to keep outperforming relative to peers," he said in a research note.
The downbeat assessment follows a reporting season with minimal surprises. Although most companies beat earnings forecasts and a market rally is under way, A-REITs may struggle to keep pace.
Deutsche Bank strategist Tim Baker said that while property stocks had held steady during the reporting season, there were more earnings above forecasts and upgrades from cyclicals and other sectors in the February numbers.
"There's the risk of a bit of a rotation toward cyclicals that wouldn't help REITs, but if we get more money flowing into equities you could expect that to go into safer yield stocks, which would probably give REITs some support," he said.
There are early signs that the broader sharemarket is gathering pace as property stocks slow down. So far this year the S&P/ASX 200 Index has returned 7.9 per cent against a 5.7 per cent rise for the S&P/ASX 200 REITs index.
Simon Garing of Bank of America Merrill Lynch said REITs were fairly valued after a strong run, but would squeeze upside from acquisitions and developments, rising property values and increased funds under management for the fund managers.
Investing in the sector is becoming a game of buying anticipated growth rather than snapping up high yielders at a discount to their asset backing.

He said Britain "showed the world what we're made of" in 2012 thanks to the Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team GB's astounding medal haul.
But he said the end of the year was also a time to focus on the Christian message and said he would pray for everyone to have a happy and peaceful time "however you celebrate this time of year".
In a speech last year Mr Cameron said that the values of the Bible "go to the heart" of what it means to be British - though he admitted he was no more than a "vaguely practising" Christian "full of doubts" about theological issues.
During a rare foray into religious issues, he used the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible to urge the Church of England to lead a revival of traditional Christian values to counter the country's "moral collapse".
His latest faith-centred message however comes amid anger among many senior church figures and traditionalist Conservative MPs over plans to allow same-sex marriage.
The Bishop of Leicester has accused him of being out of touch with the "vast majority of practising religious people" despite assurances that no churches will be forced to carry them out such ceremonies.
"Christmas gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us - a time when we can look back on the year that has passed and prepare for the year ahead," Mr Cameron said.
"2012 has been an extraordinary year for our country. We cheered our Queen to the rafters with the Jubilee, showed the world what we're made of by staging the most spectacular Olympic and Paralympic Games ever and - let's not forget - punched way above our weight in the medals table."
"But Christmas also gives us the opportunity to remember the Christmas story - the story about the birth of Jesus Christ and the hope that he brings to the countless millions who follow him," he went on.

The Week That Was -- GOP Senate Candidates - An uptodate list of potential candidates by a MA paper
My predictions from December about how this whole Kerry-seat thing would play out have so far been pretty damn good. That includes my guess that Scott Brown would not run.
However, I was wrong about Bill Weld running. It also sounds like Kerry Healey isn't going to do it. Definitely not Charlie Baker. Not Richard Tisei either. And no, I don't think there are any Romneys running.
We seem to be down to three options for the party. One is the indefatigable Doug Bennett, who has declared his candidacy and is out working on gathering the 10,000 signatures needed to get on the ballot.
Yes, that Doug Bennett, who couldn't get elected to Boston city council. Onward and upward! His platform is end all the wars; audit the federal reserve; and increase civil liberty.
Next is state representative and Lawyer To The MassGOP Stars Dan Winslow, who it seems will announce his candidacy tomorrow. Or, maybe he'll announce he's not running, but that would be odd.
Then there's option three, Gabriel Gomez of Cohasset. Gomez is a former Navy SEAL and a Boston financial-services guy (now with Advent, formerly of Summit) who has very little public political track record other than criticizing Barack Obama for taking credit for killing Osama bin Laden.
I am told the Gomez candidacy is serious, and that no less than Ron Kaufman is giving him intros around DC as he puts the campaign together.
But I am also finding that actual Massachusetts Republican activists have never met the guy, or know anything about him; Gomez does not appear to have made much of any previous effort to get involved in those circles. Which makes it hard to see how he gets off the ground.
