Backstage: Elemental iPod
As Jeremy mentioned above, welcome to our backstage area! This space will provide you with a sense of who we are and what we do at iLounge and the lives we live.
What has four wheels and can plug an iPod into? It's my new '04 Honda Element with a built-in auxiliary port to jack my iPod into the cars' stereo system. It's definitely the best thing about my new 'RocketBox'. Rocket = my dog (the official iLounge mascot), Box = Element. For a six foot four guy, this thing is heaven sent - plenty of room and then some - Rocket (behind the seat) likes it as well. Oh, and that's Ferris the Cat peeking around the wall.

I like your Honda Element. It is so cool.

What components did you use for that setup? It looks very simple but very efficient.
I'm guessing the USB/Firewire combo cable, and mount,and some sort of firewire car adapter.
Any plans on showing us how?

can you posts some higher resolution pictures…
Posted by steve on July 15, 2004 at 9:56 AM (CDT)
I'm using a SiK Imp cable, because it provides Audio Line Out and FireWire. I'm also using the SiK power adapter and a male to male mini jack (1/8") stereo cable. You can find a mini jack cable at any Radio Shack or stereo accessory store. In this set-up I'm using SendStation's mini jack cable included with their recently released Audio Line Out PocketDock. The iPod mount is from Pro-Clip.
You're right, it's a simple and effective solution, but I'd like to manage the wires better.
Check our Reviews page for reviews on the Imp cable and PocketDock adapter.

a lot of wires…
Posted by alby on July 15, 2004 at 12:52 PM (CDT)
Sweet! And yay for Honda. It must cost, like, a whole $3 for a car manufacturer to add an audio-in jack to a car. I don't understand why it's not a much more common feature.

I agree with Travis. ^
Posted by supercarrot900 on July 15, 2004 at 2:31 PM (CDT)
i agree as well, but think the cost is probably closer to 3cents :p

We have an element too, not only is it iPod friendly, it is tall people friendly, and dirty camper friendly, I'd definately recommend it!

Hi. :) I'm new at this, I just got my U2 IPOD in the mail today. I have a Honda Element too! :)
I am a bit confused on what I need to go buy. I think I am understanding to get the cable, adaptor, & stereo cable - right?
But, what is the send station mini jackcable thing? do i need that…?

I prefer the setup on this page:
This uses the Belkin power adapter that has a line out on the base of it. One less cable dangling along your dashboard.
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:

J Wells Brewery is a taproom and brewery in Boulder Colorado, nestled on 49th St, the one block area between old pearl and pearl parkway in Boulder Colorado. We are located right off diagonal highway/119 behind Boulder Toyota and the Boulder Bump Shop. We have a great view of the boulder flatirons from our porch during the summer, and on nice days in the winter. What a great place to enjoy a pint of beer!
I brew multiple styles and rotate our nine taps regularly. We specialize in IPA beers, Pale Ale and British bitter. We also have a real beer engine! I am strongly influenced by west coast beers (IPA), and the malty beers of England.
If you are looking for a proper pint of bitter, you can find it here at J Wells. If hops are more your thing, you would like a Hop Haze. Of course, everyone loves a Chocolate Milk Stout too! Come see what a great selection of beers you can find at J Wells Brewery!
I am the smallest Nano Brewery in Boulder at 1.5 bbls of beer (three pony kegs). I believe that this is as close to home brewing as you can get and still be pro. This allows me to focus on quality and freshness.
I am a garage based brewery, and give tours on request. Come by the taproom and visit us, feel free to ask questions, and watch me brew your next pint.
The brewery is owned by one person, Jamie Wells. I am an independent brewery and have no outside investors besides my family (less than 10% is owned by my mother). I built the entire brewery with a little over 50k in investment from my retirement. I currently work 6 days a week brewing, or pulling taps. I would love to pour you a beer and visit with you at the taproom!

I started using it instead of my work bag to carry my laptop and files. It holds everything perfectly with plenty of room to spare without being overly heavy. I wish it had another pocket inside instead of just the one, but not a real complaint. This bag makes the perfect work day trip bag, especially if you have to fly.5

I had read about Code Contracts long time ago, but I didn't see a reason to use contract instead of simple tests and argument's check with Exception's throws. Only now I'm trying to use them at real project. I didn't see why I need to write:
Contract.Requires<ArgumentNullException>(argument == null);
Instead of like I did it before:
if (argument == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("argument")
Couple of weeks ago I had reinstall my Windows 7 on my laptop (I bought SSD for my laptop). After I install ReSharper with Visual Studio 2010 after run I accidental choosed "Go to the metadata" instead of like usual "Go to Object Explorer" by Ctrl and Mouse Click. So when I clicked on some class of System.xxx (basic classes of .NET) I looked at source code of these classes and found that they are using Code Contracts. I thought this is why I need to understand why I need to use contracts in my code, so I started to use them in some small applications and tried to find some interesting case. Read more…

It was still fairly intact, and the huts housed lots of information about what happened. Went in the gas chambers and incinerators, which unsurprisingly was odd to say the least. How anyone can deny what happened is completly beyond me.
We also went to the largest camp - Birkenau. It was just stupidly massive. Every way you look is just the chimneys from the huts where they kept the prisoners, and barbed wire. It was scorching hot, and I have a decent tan :) but we just wanted to lie down all the time.
Went out for dinner(back in Krak�w)to a nice Italian restaurant, and then decidede we were having a night of drinking purely vodka. 200 ml each later, and we were home. Had a bit more at home then passed out spectacularly, all in the wrong beds.

In Vitro Assessment of Cytotoxicity of Resin-Based Dental Restorative Materials on WEHI 13 Var Fibroblasts
Athina A. Bakopoulou, DDS / Ioanna N. Triviai, BS / Asterios S. Tsiftsoglou, BS, MS, MPhil, PhD / Paylos D. Garefis, DDS, PhD
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the cytotoxicity of 4 resin composites eluates on WEHI 13 Var fibroblasts as they aged in a biologic medium. Materials and Methods: Cytotoxicity was determined by counting the number of viable cells by trypan blue exclusion. Morphologic changes attributable to cytotoxicity were observed by May-Grunwald-Giemsa cytologic staining and microscopic examination. DNA gel electrophoresis was performed to detect possible genotoxicity and DNA damage. Results: All resin composite eluates, except that for Targis, caused a pronounced cytotoxicity during the first 72 hours that gradually decreased after 2 weeks of aging. Severe morphologic alterations and pronounced DNA damage were also observed. Conclusion: These findings indicate that resin-based dental restorative materials release agents cytotoxic and genotoxic to fibroblasts. Cytotoxicity is gradually decreased as the composite resins age in a biologic-relevant medium.

Portable Document Format or PDF is by far the most convenient way for sharing data with people online. Its popularity has increased simply because it can be opened in various programs including operating systems such as Mac, Windows, and Linux. This article will show how to send a pdf file by email, no matter it's a small PDF or a large PDF.
Part 1. How to Send PDF with Ease
Sending a PDF document is so easy that it does not require any special and complicated steps. Users can send PDF to other people by attaching it on their emails. Here are some easy steps on how to send a document in PDF format via email.
- Save PDF file on an easily accessible and visible location. By saving it on an easy to find folder in the hard drive, looking for the file while sending can be less time consuming.
- Log-in to an email application such as Yahoo Mail, Google Mail, or Apple Mail.
- Go to "Compose or Create new message" and then fill up the headers including the receiver and subject.
- Enter your message on the body just like making a conventional email.
- Click "Attach file" option to send PDF file and locate file and double click it or click "Open".
- After attaching the file or files clicking "Send" can wrap up the process.
Part 2. How to Send Large PDF Files on Mac and Windows
A user can send PDF files after attaching it however larger files may take more time to upload depending on internet connectivity. Sending larger files to workmates through email can sometime be daunting. There are techniques on how to send large PDF files through email. The most effective way to do this is by compress large PDF files to smaller size. Here comes iSkysoft PDF Editor Pro for Mac (PDF Editor for Windows), which can help you compress and send a large PDF file with fast speed.
What You Will Need:
A Computer;
iSkysoft PDF Editor Pro for Mac
Time Required:
Around 1 min
Option 1. Directly Send Your PDF within the Application
Launch the PDF Editor program, and load the PDF files you want to send by clicking the "Open File" button. On the upper left corner, click "File > Mail". Alternatively, hit the "Mail" button on the top toolbar.
Fill in the recipient's e-mail address and the email subject, then click "Send" to start sending PDF files via email.
Option 2. Make PDF File Smaller
Go to "File > Optimize" to access the compression options. Choose an ideal option or customize the compression parameters by yourself. After compression, your PDF can be reduced to a smaller size and then you can send it via email without wasting too much time.
Option 3. Split a Large PDF into Multiple Files
You can also send a PDF quickly by separate it into small files. To do this, click "Document > Split Document". Then specify the Split Method and Output Folder. After that, you can send the files one by one.
Note: This PDF Editor allows you to do some changes for your PDFs if you want, you can access to information about editing PDF files.

|Structural systematics and conformational analyses of a 3 × 3 isomer grid of fluoro-N-(pyridyl)benzamides: physicochemical correlations, polymorphism and isomorphous relationships
|Pavle Mocilac, Katie Donnelly, John F. Gallagher, 2012
|An isomer grid of nine fluoro-N-(pyridyl)benzamides (Fxx) (x = para-/meta-/ortho-) has been examined to correlate structural relationships between the experimental crystal structure and ab initio calculations, based on the effect of fluorine (Fx) and pyridine N-atom (x) substitution patterns on molecular conformation. Eight isomers form N-HN hydrogen bonds, and only one (Fom) aggregates via intermolecular N-HO=C interactions exclusively. The Fpm and Fom isomers both crystallize as two polymorphs with Fpm_O (N-HO=C chains, P-syn) and Fpm_N (N-HN chains, P-anti) both in P21/n (Z' = 1) differing by their meta-N atom locations (P-syn, P-anti; Npyridine referenced to N-H), whereas the disordered Fom_O is mostly P-syn (Z' = 6) compared with Fom_F (P-anti) (Z' = 1). In the Fxo triad twisted dimers form cyclic R22(8) rings via N-HN interactions. Computational modelling and conformational preferences of the isomer grid demonstrate that the solid-state conformations generally conform with the most stable calculated conformations except for the Fxm triad, while calculations of the Fox triad predict the intramolecular N-HF interaction established by spectroscopic and crystallographic data. Comparisons of Fxx with related isomer grids reveal a high degree of similarity in solid-state aggregation and physicochemical properties, while correlation of the melting point behaviour indicates the significance of the substituent position on melting point behaviour rather than the nature of the substituent.

Looking back: Australians on Crete
Both the British and the Germans saw Crete, the largest and southernmost Greek island, as strategically important to their operations in the eastern Mediterranean. From their airfields German bombers could reach Britain's vital bases in Egypt, whereas, from these same locations, the British could attack the Romanian oilfields at Ploesti, Germany's main source of petroleum. The British also wanted to use the fine harbour at Suda as a naval refuelling base.
The island's airfields – Maleme, Retimo, and Heraklion – as well as the naval base at Suda Bay were the keys to Crete. The British commander, New Zealander General Bernard Freyberg, had allocated garrisons to each of these positions. Each would be subject to savage air and ground attacks.
On 20 May thousands of German paratroopers and glider-borne soldiers descended upon Crete. The defenders responded with brutal and accurate fire, killing many of the enemy while in the air, and others once they landed. At Retimo and Heraklion the Australian and British defenders kept the invaders off the airfields. But at Maleme the situation facing the British was more desperate. There the Germans succeeded in securing the field from the New Zealanders. Sensing victory, German planes brought in reinforcements from the 5th Mountain Division. With each passing hour German strength grew while that of the British declined.

One of the major hard bop pianists of the last half of the 20th century, Barry Harris has long had the ability to sound very close to Bud Powell, yet he can also do convincing impressions of Thelonious Monk, and has his own style within the bop idiom. He was an important part of the Detroit jazz scene of the 1950s, and has been a jazz educator since that era. Harris recorded his first set as a leader in 1958, and moved to New York in 1960, where he spent a short period with Cannonball Adderley's Quintet. He also recorded with Dexter Gordon, Illinois Jacquet, Yusef Lateef, and Hank Mobley, and was with Coleman Hawkins off and on throughout the decade (including Hawk's declining years). In the '70s, Harris was on two of Sonny Stitt's finest records (Tune Up and Constellation), and made many recordings in a variety of settings for Xanadu. Harris has mostly worked with his trio since the mid-'70s, and has recorded as a leader for Argo (1958), Riverside, Prestige, MPS, Xanadu, and Red. ~ Scott Yanow

Loce- but no options
Reviewed By Emily Z (HEBER CITY, UT) Reviewed for a 2015 Nissan Xterra —5/25/2017 4:04 PM
Love the seat covers. My Xterra model doesn't have a flat folding front passenger seat, which is the only option for front row. I'm keeping the seat covers because I love them that much, just disappointed that there is a hole in the cover where a lever is missing in my car.
Mostly Satisfied - 2017 silverado
Reviewed By Braun A (MAYSVILLE, KY) Reviewed for a 2017 Chevy Silverado —5/24/2017 8:40 PM
I was debating between these and the wet okole seat covers and ultimately the price of these was just much cheaper. I like them overall and don't have any major complaints. I'm not thrilled with the installation and fit on the center console and I don't really care for how they fit in the back of the seats but overall they are pretty nice and look pretty good. They will not be completely waterproof and small areas of the seat in the corners still show. I'm satisfied with my choice.

Oscar-Winning Filmmaker Alexander Payne Is Subject of New Book
A new book about acclaimed filmmaker Alexander Payne (Sideways) is available just as interest in the Oscar-winner is at an all-time high. The critical and commercial success of Payne's 2011 hit The Descendants further confirmed the writer-director's place among the world's leading cinema artists. That's only made anticipation all the greater for his new film Nebraska, which just wrapped principal photography at the end of November.
Omaha-based writer Leo Adam Biga's recently published book, Alexander Payne: His Journey in Film – A Reporter's Perspective 1998-2012, is a compilation of the author-journalist-blogger's decade-and-a-half reporting on Payne and his work. "Long before he arrived as a world-renowned filmmaker I spotted Payne's talent. By the time he completed Citizen Ruth and prepped Election I made him a special focus of my journalism." It's the first comprehensive look at one of cinema's most important figures. Biga takes readers behind-the-scenes to glimpse aspects of Payne's creative process. "Throughout many years of being interviewed, I find Mr. Biga's articles about me to be the most complete and perceptive of any journalist's anywhere," says Payne.
Biga's book is generating strong media buzz, including a recent Indiewire feature, to go along with high praise from industry insiders. Actress Laura Dern, film critic Leonard Maltin, and novelist and public radio host Kurt Andersen have all endorsed the book. Here's what they're saying:
"Alexander is a master. Many say the art of filmmaking comes from experience and grows with age and wisdom but, in truth, he was a master on day one of his first feature. Leo Biga has beautifully captured Alexander's incredible journey in film for us all to savor." – Laura Dern, actress, star of Citizen Ruth

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Car went to the shop for hesitation and poor acceleration and an oil change . Friday May 31st was the date it was scheduled to be looked at.( I left the the car thursday night)Ok Friday at 3:30m PM no call yet, so i called and was told that the car was going in to be looked at right now and i would have a diagnosis and call before the close of business. no call. Saturday morning no call, so i call at 9:30 AM and am told it needs a tuneup and coil pack, i say what are we talking about 200.00 bucks??, "yup for the whole shebang" ...direct quote . I thought that was reasonable , but you guessed it.... about two hours later i'm told the job is $624( and they forgot about the oil change) bringing the price to $691.00. Part of the expanation was that there is no after market coil packs... I was later told there they don't use after market parts.. i think what the manager meant when he originally told me they don't have after market parts is that the garage doesn't have them and by implication doesn't use them. either way the work and parts are way overpriced . incidentally it's Saturday around 4:00 before i get the car back. manager does take off the oil change but here's the breakdown for the aggravation.
2 coil packs for 99 camry 279.98 ,spark plug wires 99.99 spark plugs 55.96 almost two hundred dollars worth of labor and something called a preventaive maintenace charge of 39.99 i didn't ask for that by the way .
I also was never asked if i wanted the old parts, though the invoice says i wished to discard old parts.. and that I refused a bunch of other work, some i did, some i didn't.
If you want hidden charges, false information on the invoice and poor service and conflicting information on how much the work costs,this is the place for you.
i needed the car the next day or i woulod have taken it outta there..
just so you don't think i'm a sullivan hater, i have been to this location before and was happy with their brockton location many years ago, but i won't be back and I suggest you stay away as well...

Quick post on just some fun with CSS. I talk too much about WordPress, not that is a bad thing… just thought it would be good to do something different.
In this quick little post, we're going to build a box with a hollowed out center. Nothing really special, but something fun and fairly simple. Maybe we'll come back and build on it in a longer post.
See the Pen Build A Hollow Box with CSS3 by Cole Geissinger (@colegeissinger) on CodePen.
The One, Two, Three
Pretty simple really. The only complicated part of this is the use of the :after pseudo element. We'll get to that in a minute.
First we'll look at the HTML. A simple empty div with two classes.
The most important class here is the box class. This is the class we'll use to style the div into our hollowed box. The second class, center-center does nothing but center the element vertically and horizontally.
Next we'll work on creating a solid square. We can do this easily by creating a 200x200 pixel square, but really it can be what ever dimension you want.
We should now have a solid square. Now the magic begins!. While there are many pseudo classes at our disposal, this is considered a content related pseudo class. Meaning, its specifically here for us to add content after the element without the need of more HTML markup. The code below will add a white square in the middle of our box.
Break It Down
First thing to take note here, I'm using SCSS. If you don't understand SCSS/Sass/LESS, no worries, this is pretty simple, the &:after block in SCSS is same as .box:after. The ampersand basically is a reference to the parent selector it is assigned to. For a more in-depth talk about pseudo classes, check out Chris Coyier's post about it.
Now that we are past that, we'll first load in some empty content and absolutely position our new square. We'll need to do this so we can center our new square. That's where our top and left positioning come in. We'll set our new box in half the height and width of our large box.
Of course everything we've done so far returns nothing. We'll want to set the width and height to half of that of our large box. So simply put, if the large box is 200x200, we'll want a 100x100 box and color it white (or what ever color you need to match the simulation of a hole in the box.
The last little thing here is we'll set a z-index of 2 to ensure the :after element is on top of the large box. And voilà! We have a hollowed out box created with CSS! Woot!
Now get creative with this as this is just only the beginning :)

Richards:Cops Should Respect our Youth
The Far Rockaway Youth Council will hold a protest against what Donovan Richards terms "youth targeted police brutality" in Far Rockaway on Saturday, September 15, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Richards, who is an aide to City Councilman James Sanders, says that the protest will begin at the intersection of Mott Avenue and Beach Channel Drive (in front of McDonald's) and end in front of the 101 Precinct on Cornaga Avenue.
Richards, who has been focusing largely on youth problems for the past several months, says that the protest is in response to his "disgust and outrage" over what he says are " innocent youths being discriminated [against] and treated as common criminals."
In support of his belief, Richards says that police sweeps take place every Tuesday and Thursday, as young people enter and leave the local libraries, and on the grounds of the housing developments, where they reside.
"The truth is we aren't antipolice, but we are anti-police brutality," said Richards. "Yes, we want the police to arrest those responsible for crimes being committed on the peninsula. However, when you are throwing young men up against the wall, who are leaving a library, the community must take a stand. The youth of Far Rockaway deserve to be able to enjoy their childhoods without worrying if they are going to end up in handcuffs for checking out a book."
The "Respect our Youth Rally", led by the NAACP Far Rockaway Youth Council, is an organized effort to bring this issue to the attention of the community and city officials, Richards added.
Mr.Richards, you hit it right on the nose. I couldn't of put it no more clearer than you already did. Personally i am sick of all the poor excuses as to why my brothers and sisters have to continually endure these tasteless tactics from our ny finest. The sh.. is getting ridiculous. I personally know a mother who sent her teenage son into the 40's projects to run a errand to another relatives house and as the young man was leaving the buildiing to return home, one of our finest, hit him with a tresspassing charge. This has been happening alot and the farrockaway public better be aware that: you can't even visit friends and family on the penninsula if your name is not on a lease for the development that is visited. Are all these ridiculous arrests for the purpose of making the precincts books look as though they are doing their jobs? Is the purpose to stick a young adult with a felony by the time he is 21? It makes sense to me. We all know that once you have a felony, it decreases your chances for suitable employment. Let's begin to work together for a common cause. For those who are enterested in fighting against genocide in farrockaway, make a concious decision "NOT TO TAKE IT ANY MORE." CONTACT F.R.UA.- farrockawayunderattack.com. Help is comming to the rockaways to address many issues and they need the cooperation of the public. Feel free to comment on the videos on youtube.

How many times did you teach your friends how to play poker? How many times did you try it with your mom? Times of writing on paper sheet poker hand rank and stop the game to clear terms are gone. Sit newbies in a chair, launch the app and just say them: "take 5 minutes on reading this".
Poker Guide HD goes straight to the point. Three tabs, three features. First off, "poker hands", official poker hand rank in order from best to worst: royal flush, straight flus, four-of-a-kind... Second, basic "poker terms" in alphabetical order: all-in, small/big blind, sit&go, river, push, preflop... All that words that are constantly used on poker parties. Finally, "poker rules" in which you can choose between two poker styles (Texas Hold'em or Five Card Draw). Rules summarized in just a dozen of points, a handful of lines.
We're just missing a "advanced user" tab including strategies, bluffs, odds, percentages, variation... We hope it will be included in coming versions.
This could sound weird due to the simplicity of the app but this is one of the most useful apps we've reviewed. We like when apps make our life easier and Poker Guide HD really does.

The Birger Jarl is a design-savvy business hotel - 16 of its 235 rooms are one-offs by some of Sweden's most idiosyncratic designers, and the rest have been designed in more conventional (but still very attractive) series of 15 or 20 rooms. Fans of genuine retro should check themselves into the Retro Room, which looks just as it did in 1974, having accidentally been overlooked during the hotel's renovation. The quiet location in fairly residential Vasastaden won't suit everyone, but it's only a short walk from the action.

Lets just wait for them to blame piracy for their demise - I'm sure it won't be their failure to get in on digital distribution early enough.

Oh what a shame this now mean's I will continue having to buy my games from a cd key site I use and then download the disc for it.
While it is sad to see and hear about this and potentially that, could mean people may loose there job's I have to say I am sorry about that I honestly cannot see it getting any better.
Thing for me quite simply is the cost and the lack of choice of games for pc gamers, which is why I use a key site because the games are cheaper than Steam and Origin but if the stores had a wider selection and were cheaper than, Steam and Origin then I would buy from them.
The problem is there prices and the situation in the country at the moment, is causing people to not buy the games as often and the lack of good games cause people not to buy them as well.
I hope they turn it around because for some people simply buying a key and downloading the game is not possible due to there broadband connection being to slow, so they need to go and buy the games from a store so they have the disc's to avoid the day long wait to download the game from Steam or Xbox Live or PSN.
I bought a extra copy of MW3 from Game because I needed the disc's because it was taking 12 hours to download it from Steam, so I bought the game again so I had the disc's and it took around 20 minutes to install it, I bought some games from the Xbox Live market place and it took nearly 6 hours for each game to download, but when I download a game from Origin it's done in 10 minutes and I am on 100Mb down and 10Mb up so it's not my connection, it's the servers that are used to store the content on and those services connection out to people.
Let's just hope Game etc get some sales to turn this around.

I like hard copies of my games etc and GAME doesn't haver ba dprices, but as mentioned earlier. the 4ft of pc titles is a bit crap. Piracy will get the blame when realistically ever spirilling rents/ rates etc and allowing places like Tesco / Morrisons and Asdas to sell all the same stuff will see another name disappear off the high street.

Oh and not to mention you cannot buy pre-owned pc games anymore because they are all linked to Steam and Origin account's making them useless if you don't play the game, after buying it because it turns out you don't like the game because there was no demo/beta or the game wasn't the same as the demo/beta.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3 for me was a waste of money because they are unplayable because of issues I have with the game, and while they run perfectly fine it's the gameplay and a few other thing's I don't like about it, so I cannot go and sell the games making them available for others to buy cheaper.
Piracy will get mentioned at some point and will be blamed for it, but that will only prove what people have been saying but not many believe in that console games are pirated as well as Game mainly only sell console games.

Hey game, here's a tip - try stacking your tiny PC section with something other than endless Sims expansion packs and <insert humdrum activity> Simulator 2012. You might gain a few more sales from PC gamers especially if you undercut Steam when they're not running seasonal sales.
Did I also mention we have more disposable income than console gamers? We certainly spend a lot on our hardware - try tapping our market!

GAME is a colsole dominated store and peolpe are always shopping around and buying 2nd hand, I remember the days when it had a massive PC section, those days are long gone, maybe they should expand to hardware and periphials
Personally I just don't like the caliber of staff and feel in the shop, my local GAME is in the middle of a new shopping centre dominated with clothes shops, go further into town and I find CEX, Gamestation and a few other stores manned by staff who sem to know what a gamer wants and will happily sell me a £10 game if it makes me happy rather than push a £40 game I don't want

The biggest shock to me came a few years back, when GAME Group bought Gamestation and decided not to sell retro gear any more: all the classic hardware (Game Boys, NESes, Mega Drives, Saturns, Game Gears, and even the occasional microcomputer or Vectrex-era system) and games were destroyed as stock write-off. As in: crushed and thrown into a skip.

Our local GAME isn't that bad for the PC section, about 1/6 of the store is dedicated to PC games with an okay selection along with a thin wall section for accessories.
Most of the store (about 3/6) is swamped by the pre-owned section though and I've never seen anyone buying anything but the really cheap pre-owned stuff.
Prices aren't the worst out there, but they can't really compete with most online retailers being so easy to access... then there's the constant sales with services like Steam, GMG, GOG and Direct2Drive driving prices lower than they can afford to offer on physical copies.

I have nothing but contempt for GAME as they're yet another UK entertainment cornerstone that failed miserably to innovate and move with the times, instead trying to take back market share by colluding/blackmailing publishers into giving them an unfair advantage (Space Marine being just one example that comes to mind).
That being said, this is horrible news as GAME is a large source of youth employment that will most likely end up sharing the same fate as Blockbuster.
It's a damn shame - gaming is such a fast growing and amazing form of entertainment but all the way from the developers to publishers, and now retailers (Steam/Amazon, I'm looking at you), it's now almost exclusively money that's leaving the country. And that's nobody's fault but our own.

Pretty much every game I've bought from game I purchased because it was cheaper than anywhere else. Granted it may not be many games I've bought from them, but I did get Forza 4 and BF3 from them.
I would much rather have a hard copy of my games, even it its just so I don't have to download them, my internet isn't the fastest, so its much easier to be able to install from disc.
I don't go into the shops, not just Game, I don't go to any shops,

I'm wondering if I should spend the £25 of Game gift vouchers I got for Christmas sooner rather than later. I was going to hold out and spend them on Mass Effect 3 but at this rate it might have gone under by then!!

I'm surprised that this hasn't happened sooner - I regularly pop into game to (quickly) browse the (4ft wide) PC section and am always amazed by how high the prices are even for games that are months old. It also doesn't help them that the vast majority of their customers have access to a smartphone in their pockets where they can quickly compare prices online and see that even their sale prices are more expensive than regular online prices... I'm always doing that and the staff must be sick of seeing people pick up a game, get out their phone and then within a minute put the game back down and walk out again!

So... a 4-ft PC section isn't just a problem in Glasgow?
It's almost reassuring.

I always get my preorders from Game's website, and I enjoy a quick wander around their shops when I've got time to kill while I'm out. It would be a real shame if this company were to close up.

I like seeing it since I sometimes pop in if I'm walking past.
But I haven't bought anything from one for a looooooong time.
Even for console games they aren't great, since most are cheaper on amazon etc
I'll be sad to see it go, but I'm not overly surprised

Patching Around Strut
How best to fix this issue? The first photo is for orientation purposes, the second shows where I need to fix. From walking around the boat yard, I can see that quite a few other boats have had patch jobs around the strut.
My specific questions would be, do I remove the material that is "peeling" (for lack of a better word), and then patch, or just patch over it. And then, what do I patch/fill with?
Also, can and should the prop and strut (and shaft?) be painted?
Re: Patching Around Strut
All that cracked and separated fairing compound needs to be ground away, then refaired with new.. but I'd also be trying to figure out why there seems to be enough vibration/movement to cause that kind of separation so it doesn't happen again.
Engine alignment? Bent shaft? Seriously out of balance prop?
Re: Patching Around Strut
glad you posted this, i have the exact same issue, just slightly smaller. I'm repowering her before she goes in the water, so i'll take the time to pull the shaft and check for straightness...and whatever other advise this forum has
Re: Patching Around Strut
Agree with Faster. Remove all damaged material. I would go at it with a putty knife, then grinder. Check out that rusty spot. I would layer some glass on there to strengthen it. Needs a zinc too.
Remove the shaft/prop to check it. Need to find out why it did that.
Paint or don't paint, that is always debatable. You could use "Zinc coat barnacle barrier" by Pettit. Haven't tried it yet myself, probably work for a while.
Re: Patching Around Strut
Remove the material that is not firmly bonded to the surface below. Fair with putty made from epoxy and phenolic micro-balloons.
Re: Patching Around Strut
Prop and strut look pretty bad . . . yes what was original cause..also! I've read here NEVER to use ablative paint on prop/shaft can actually be harmful . . I'd consider replacing both strut and prop
Re: Patching Around Strut
Hm, that's interesting. The strut on my boat (the only one I ever owned) is set in some kind of elastic material. Consistency of firm chewing gum, if I had to describe it. It is also pulling a bit from its surrounding. I am a couple thousand miles from the boat right now and it is in the water anways so I don't have pictures. But it has been like that for over 10 years.
Reason for concern? Do I need to do anything?
Re: Patching Around Strut
Thanks, folks. As to why this happened, my thinking had been that this is a 30 year old boat and stuff happens. Is it possible that this is just normal wear and tear after 30 years?
I was hoping I could just use one product to repair, sort of along the lines of what Hudsonian has advised, but some of these suggestions go beyond my skill set. Hmmm.... Holding on tight to my wallet right now...
Re: Patching Around Strut
To be honest with the bronze on the strut and prop look really bad and you should really clean it up and see if it is pink and pitted
You are NOT supposed to put normal bottom paint in direct contact as you should use a epoxy primer or and underwater metal safe paint
I am able to stay ahead of the prop growth with a quick wipe down about every 3 weeks
Re: Patching Around Strut
This boat is new to me as of this past summer, so I don't know what the prior owner did. Looks like they had been painted at some point in time.

Allow me a selfish moment.
I've grown weary of advocating for causes that may be good for society as a whole, but don't benefit me at all. When some issue I've supported in this column finally achieves its moment of victory, I'm often left with an empty feeling because I have no interest in taking advantage of whatever change I've helped effect.
For instance, marijuana. It was never my drug of choice back in the days when I was choosing among outlawed pharmaceuticals. Now that it's on the verge of becoming legal—a move I strongly support—I still won't be inhaling.
Likewise, same-sex marriage. I think everybody should be able to marry whomever they like. For me, that would be Meredith Vieira or Emmylou Harris. Or, possibly, Meredith Vieira and Emmylou Harris. Unfortunately, the new law has done nothing to facilitate my efforts.
I'm strongly in favor of the right of law-abiding citizens to buy and own guns. But I don't possess any of my own. The same lifelong lack of eye-hand coordination that prevented me from hitting breaking balls renders me incapable of using a firearm to hit anything smaller than Godzilla.
When it comes to abortion, I'm firmly pro-choice. But for obvious reasons, I'll never have to brave the gauntlet of rabid pro-lifers outside Planned Parenthood's Portland office to get one. Nor will Meredith or Emmylou. Or my actual wife.
I'm resolute in my support of small farmers in their efforts to sell unpasteurized milk and other dairy products on their farms without unnecessary government regulation. But if they ever win this fight, it won't affect me. It's not that I'm lactose intolerant. It's that I'm lactose indifferent. My annual consumption of moo juice wouldn't keep one cow's teat busy.
I'm happy that the courts are finally easing restrictions on political donations, because I think those rules stifle free speech. On the other hand, before I'd give any cash to a candidate, I'd sooner shred it to make litter boxes for wharf rats.
And I've already disparaged all three gubernatorial candidates, which means the best I can hope for after the November election is to be 33 percent disappointed.
So, just this once, I'd like to devote this space to a cause that, if successful, would have a positive impact on me. To that end, I've formed a group called the Freedom of Liquor Acquisition and Storage Koalition, also known as F.L.A.S.K. (yeah, I know: Worst. Acronym. Ever.).
You might not realize it, but while it's legal to carry a gun in Maine (either openly or, with a permit, concealed), putting a flask containing an alcoholic beverage in your hip pocket is against the law. The cops consider it to be the same as walking around in public with an open bottle of booze. This ill-considered statute turns a sizable segment of the population into lawbreakers, even though there's never been a study showing any correlation between flask ownership and criminal activity. There's even some indication that the opposite may be true.
"Using a flask properly is about quiet sophistication and softening the edges of a tough world with stolen moments among friends and reminding yourself that you're a man who drinks real booze," wrote Michael A. Lubarsky on the website AskMen.com.

The Samsung Series 7 Chronos has decent multimedia credentials. It offers plenty of power for a "style" laptop, and has branded speakers.
On the underside of the Chronos you'll find a pair of grilles for the 4W-power JBL speakers. They're set to extreme edges of the laptop, to ensure you don't cover the grilles entirely when resting the laptop on your legs.
The speakers' output is geared to compensate for the underside mounting too. Flip the laptop over and the sound is a bit treble-heavy, but this is to compensate for the amount of high-end sound that never makes it to your ears.
In a standard listening position, the sound is pretty well-balanced and detailed. Samsung claims to offer a "virtual subwoofer", which appears to amount to using the Series 7 Chronos's body cavity as a bass booster. It works reasonably well, giving the sound some body, but the Chronos still isn't quite up there with the best, and loudest, laptops.
Continuing with periphery features, there's a webcam and microphone mounted into the Series 7 Chronos's screen surround. It features a 720p sensor.
While the high-end Intel Ivy Bridge CPU will attract the most attention from the tech crowd, the Samsung Series 7 Chronos's SSD storage is the key to its day-to-day performance.
It's this, alongside software optimisation that enables the quick start-up and recovery from sleep. In our real-world tests the Series 7 Chronos averaged a cold start-up in 35-40 seconds and recovery from Sleep in five seconds. This is a little slower than Samsung's claims, but recovering from a quick standby tap on the power button does take under two seconds. Most real-life cases will be a wee bit slower.
Any configuration of the Samsung Series 7 Chronos should be able to cope with any application you can throw at it. What's particularly worth lodging in your cerebellum is that this laptop uses a quad-core variant of Ivy Bridge, where most competitors use the dual-core type.
It's something that highlights the slightly odd positioning of the Chronos. It's concerned with the same things as super-thin Ultrabooks but has a load more power on tap - with a little extra chunkiness and weight being the cost.
Aside from offering excellent productivity performance, the 2013 Samsung Series 7 Chronos also has a decent graphics card. It uses the ATI Radeon HD 8800M chipset, with 2GB of video RAM.
This is a brand new chipset for 2013, its hardware having only been revealed in leak form in late 2012. Its performance is admirable, especially in a laptop that is not an ostensibly gaming-obsessed device.
The Samsung Series 7 Chronos aced our classic STALKER benchmark, coming out with a more-than-respectable 67.7fps. Last year's version scraped by with just 52.2fps.
This kind of performance puts it in competition with some of last year's less OTT gaming laptops, such as the Alienware M14, and means it pastes any Macbook Pro that doesn't have dedicated graphics - the starting price for one of those machines being a cool £1500.
When put under significant strain, the Samsung Series 7 Chronos naturally gets a little hot, but this is largely kept to the plastic underside of the laptop. One benefit of using plastic is that it doesn't dole out the heat of the device's internals as quickly as metal. The main underside heat outlet is in the middle of the laptop's bottom, directing the fan's warm air output between your legs rather than onto them.
There's also a secondary air outlet for the fan. The entire length of the inner part of the Series 7 Chronos's hinge acts as ventilation, with an open grille. This is covered when the laptop's closed too, so there's no dust collection issues.
Test results:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat: 67.7fps
PCMark 07: 3437
Entertainment: 3300
Power, practicality and good looks are all carefully considered in the Series 7 Chronos. One of the most important practical considerations with any laptop is battery life, and once again the Samsung comes up with the goods.
Samsung claims the Series 7 Chronos will last for up to 11 hours, but we found that will without disabling the dedicated graphics card, performance was a little more ordinary. In the PowerMark benchmark, designed to simulate everyday usage, the battery lasted for an impressive seven hours and forty-seven minutes. That's with brightness set at 40 per cent - a usable but hardly dazzling level.
To get closer to Samsung's states figures you'll need to ensure that the dedicated graphics card won't cut in, dim the screen brightness a little more and only partake in the least strenuous of tasks.
When putting the pedal to the metal, the battery life naturally dwindles away quickly. After 45 minutes of gaming, the battery status fell from 100 per cent to 75.
The Samsung Series 7 Chronos is a premium laptop in every sense. Some might feel that the £1,199 price point is steep but the components are excellent with the specs and performance make a mockery of some pricier laptops and Ultrabooks. A similarly priced Macbook Pro will set you back well over £1,500 and won't give you anywhere near the gaming performance of the Chronos while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon trumps the Series 7 Chronos in terms of performance we much prefer the aluminum finish of the latter.
The Samsung Series 7 Chronos is a worthy update to last year's recommended model. It keeps the top-notch construction, and brings every other aspect of the laptop right into 2013. It has a great touchscreen, a high-quality display, powerful innards and impressive battery life given the power on tap. It's not a laptop to buy if you want something to take around with you day-in, day-out as it's just too heavy. But as a semi-portable desktop-replacer, it's top-notch.
great review!! thanks....hope samsung updates it with haswell+pure ssd before september-october because thats when i intend to buy this beast!!!
How is this "not light"? It's a quad core CPU laptop with high end graphics and a touch screen, that kind of weight is impressively low.
Finding a con is not mandatory.
why doesn't it have display-port? increasing numbers of people use hi-res screens, and while hdmi can technically do 2560x1600 they are limited at imput and output to 1080p.
It kills me having a nice dell 27" monitor I can't use with my laptop, so certainly a requirement for the future.
Been looking at the i5 version - has slightly slower graphics chip too though. Still great laptop
This! It won't stop me buying it but it is a very VERY valid point. Why not use display port and bundle a VGA adapter?
Andy, any idea who's going to be stocking it?
Where can we get this i7 for 1199 pounds? I searched everywhere. All I can find is the i5 version!
You can use a VGA cable to get those resolutions, the quality will be slightly inferior compared to a digital connection though
no you can't you need dual-link dvi or display port or an uprated version of hdmi. While theoretically vga's analogue can stretch out in reality modern monitors aren't looking for it and windows doesn't want to output it, and additionally it would look shockingly bad which defeats the point of investing in high-end monitors and computers for graphics work.
Nowhere seems to be stocking this laptop at the moment, PC-world have a sales holder on the website but just give out of stock. trawled everywhere, no indication when it might arrive
i5 variant was on sale in PC world for ages at £899, now it has gone back up to £999 I'm pissed off that I didn't buy it before. Will probably wait till it goes back down again. 8850m looks like similar silicon to 8870m but clocked lower, which tbh appeals to me cos it just means a bit less heat and it'll still be a massive step up from my current Nvidia 425m
If it helps anyone - Currys told me today that the i7 version is due to be a John Lewis exclusive now.
It's likely that we're just a bit too early at this point. I expect it'll be widely available through the usual suspects within weeks.
Samsung gave us a nice and early review sample this time.
the version on sale at john lewis does not have a touch screen.
in a few weeks we might as well wait for the haswell cpu update from intel.
Cheers Andy.
John Chen - it'll take 6 months (at least) for those to work there way in to top end laptops like Alienware. Probably won't see them in the main stream for at least 9 months (which will be in time for CES) and then another 3 months to market (like this Samsung has been). It's not too bad really - the performance differences won't be that big either.
Biggest problem with this machine is Windows 8! I would much rather have a MacBook Pro and OS X for "serious" work. Not many will buy this just as a gaming laptop, its market is really for users who will be using it for pro or semi-pro applications. Both better served in many cases by Apple and OS X. At least with the MacBook Pro, which is better built, you can always run Windows if you must.
It's on the PCW website but 'out of stock' - maybe they're expecting supply?
I have the i5 version and just be warned as it wasn't mentioned in this review - the laptop comes with Intel's Centrino 6235 wi-fi which is having major issues for many users. I wondered why my laptop was disconnecting from wi-fi every 30/40 minutes, but it turns out its been a known issue with the intel drivers/hardware for sometime. Just do a search on it for thousands of users of not just this laptop, but others that have the same issue.
unfortunately I ended up with the 770 model rather than the 780 version with touchscreen. John Lewis have a pretty generous policy so I took the time to try out the laptop (using right now!) before I had it in later this week. Overall? A very lovely laptop - just waiting for the touchscreen version impatiently!
Pretty sure this doesn't have a hybrid drive - think this review is wrong!
This laptop does not has a 24gb ssd cache/hybrid drive as you state. I physically pulled apart the laptop when putting in an ssd and can confirm that the original drive is a samsung st1000LM024.
Forgot to also mention - you say the laptop comes with a hybrid drive - the i5 version doesn't and I don't believe the i7 one does either. It's just a plain 1tb drive.
Yup, 1TB 5400 rpm SATA2 in the US at least.
Although with SSDs dropping in price so fast, in 2-3 years one can get a 1TB SSD to put into this laptop for $250-300 as Crucial M500 960GB is now $600 USD.
well the 2012 model has the hybrid drive...i bought it with 1 tb 2 weeks ago but i replaced it with intel 520 and its great :)

In Ohio, Romney Focuses on Obama's Economic Record
Campaigning in a key battle ground state, Mitt Romney said Monday that President Barack Obama has failed in his promises to reduce unemployment, improve the nation's housing market and right the nation's economy.
By Seema Mehta, Los Angeles Times
EUCLID, Ohio — Campaigning in a key battle ground state, Mitt Romney said Monday that President Barack Obama has failed in his promises to reduce unemployment, improve the nation's housing market and right the nation's economy.
"At the convention, the Democratic convention about four years ago, the president got up and spoke about hope, change and together we can do anything. But he hasn't lived up to those kinds of expectations," Romney told hundreds of people gathered in a heavy gage-stamping warehouse just outside of Cleveland. "The American people are good-hearted people with the desire for good things to happen to one another, and we hoped that this president would be able to be successful. I sure did. And he has not been.
"I know how many people are struggling. I want to do my very best to help them, and I'm convinced that my experience will help me get this economy going and get people back to work and good jobs, which they need."
Romney made his remarks while campaigning in Ohio, a state that has picked every president since 1964 and where Obama officially kicked off his re-election bid on Saturday. Romney's remarks, six months before the election, come on the same day as two new polls showed the men in a statistical dead heat, and on the day that Obama launched a $25 million monthlong television ad buy in Ohio and eight other swing states.
Romney did not mention the ad or Obama's appearance here over the weekend, but he argued that by Obama's own benchmarks, such as getting unemployment below 8, as well as a drop in median incomes and rising health care, food and fuel costs show that his policies have not worked.
"Americans in the middle class are feeling squeezed, even if they have a job. And obviously most of our citizens have a job, but boy, these are tough times," Romney said.
A Romney backer who introduced the presumptive GOP nominee said Obama does not understand the middle class.
"I'm tired about hearing him talk about the middle class as though he knows anything about us," said state auditor Dave Yost to loud applause, before reeling off a list of vacations the Obama's have taken since coming to the White House, saying they totaled 17 vacations including one in Christmas 2011 that cost $1.5 million. "Mr. President, that's not middle class. And you stop lecturing us about our lives!"

Jon Niese's arm, Ike Davis' bat lift Mets to 2-0 victory over Nationals
WASHINGTON – The man on the mound kept rolling out zeroes, red carpet requested by a team desperate for something solid underneath its feet. Jon Niese set down 7 1/3 innings of carpet before handing the ball to his bullpen.
Cooperation goes a long way. And for a change, the bullpen cooperated. Jon Rauch set down the final two men in the eighth and Frank Francisco pitched a clean ninth as the Mets survived Saturday night. They eked out a 2-0 win over Washington in front of 42,662 at Nationals Park.
After some bumps early in the trip, the Mets are an afternoon victory today from a .500 road swing.
It was Niese (10-6) who put the Mets in this position. The 25-year-old left-hander now has thrown a career-best 13 1/3 scoreless innings. His 7 1/3 shutout innings Saturday proved pivotal.
"It seems like when you need him most he's stepped up," Mets manager Terry Collins said.
The offense, muted again, scrounged together just three hits over nine innings. Mets first baseman Ike Davis made the most of one of those hits.
Davis snapped six innings of scoreless baseball with a flick of his wrists in the seventh. David Wright made that moment possible, working a five-pitch walk from Washington starter Edwin Jackson. The last pitch was up near his head, dropping him onto the dirt near the plate.
On the next pitch, Davis sent a ball into the left-field bullpen. His 22nd homer of the season put the Mets in front 2-0.
"I was just trying to hit the ball," Davis said. "We didn't really do a great job of that tonight, partly because [Jackson] was so nasty."
"He hit that ball good," Collins said. "I hoped somebody did. We didn't hit very many."
Both starting pitchers swept through the first six innings. Jackson, one of the lesser names on this talented Nationals staff, allowed just one hit over his first six innings.
By the end of the sixth inning, Jackson had fanned a season-high 10 batters. He struck out the side in the sixth, applying polish to one of his best starts of the summer.
Lucky for the Mets, Niese was matching Jackson zero for zero. The only hiccup during his first four innings arrived when he first dug his cleats into the mound.
During that first inning, Danny Espinosa doubled and Ryan Zimmerman singled, putting two on for the heart of the Washington lineup.
But Niese had his escape path clearly marked. Michael Morse flew out gently to right and Adam LaRoche grounded out to second.
After those first-inning blips, Niese would retire 11 of the next 12 hitters.
"Josh [Thole] and I had a game plan going in," Niese said. "We just wanted to execute that game plan. That's all we were thinking about."
In the ninth, Collins turned the game over to Francisco. Two days ago, he gave up three runs in two-thirds of an inning. On Saturday, he turned 14 pitches into three outs and his 20th save.
"I noticed that my fastball was flat," Francisco said. "Had a good velocity, but everything was flat. I was missing my spots. Today I didn't miss my spots. Not even once."

Quotes from Jon Messick
"We are looking to get into some warm weather to get some really good training and practice time outdoors. We're going to have an opportunity when we are not playing a match to be practicing as much as we can outdoors to get ready for the conference schedule that is outdoors.
"As far as the matches go, Cal Fullerton has gotten a lot better. I think we are going to have a real tough match with them. We have always had close matches with them so I think that will be the case in the end. We're just going to have to play real well. We have never seen Cal State LA before, so I am not really sure what to expect. We are just going to expect to see a real tough match and see how it goes. We are also hoping to get everybody back to full strength with injuries; we are just hoping to use the trip to get 100 percent ready for conference."

Report: Schools Track Athletes' Online Activity
Major universities like North Carolina and Oklahoma pay companies thousands of dollars to track the online activity of their athletes, according to Pete Thamel of The New York Times.
One such company, Varsity Monitor, provides – among other services – a computer application that searches social media outlets their athletes are on for keywords, according to Thamel.
"Every school, we work to customize their keyword list," Sam Carnahan, the chief executive of Varsity Monitor, told Thamel. "We look for things that could damage the school's brand and anything related to their eligibility."
According to Thamel, some believe this is an invasion of privacy, and Maryland state senator Ronald Young has sponsored a bill aimed at stopping schools from monitoring athletes digitally. "I think it's violating the Constitution to have someone give up their password or user name," Young told Thamel. "It's like reading their mail or listening to their phone calls."
