★ "K-Gr 3–This is a delightful story that must be viewed and read several times to capture all of its wonderful details, humor, and charm. Remy is an artist who paints "the essence of a person, not their likeness," no doubt because of his very poor eyesight. Lulu is a Jack Russell–type dog who becomes Remy's traveling companion, but Lulu happens to be an artist as well. When Remy sets up his huge canvasses to paint a portrait, Lulu draws a miniature portrait down along the bottom of the canvas at Lulu height, but Lulu's subjects are the animals that each poser has with him or her. While Remy's portraits are quite abstract and usually integrate some of the pet's features into the image of the sitter, Lulu creates finely detailed portraitures of the pets with extravagant clothing reminiscent of their owner. The patrons are astonished at Lulu's talent, and the duo become solvent, as well as the talk of the town. It is only when one patron, an optometrist, gives Remy a new pair of spectacles that Remy "sees" why his popularity has taken a sharp upturn. The result is utter despondence until an invitation comes their way that gives both a new perspective. Reminiscent of Peggy Rathmann's Officer Buckle and Gloria (Putnam, 1995), the dog is the one with the crowd-pleasing talent, while the human remains oblivious for a time. Children and adults will enjoy giving the two types of paintings a close look and picking up the subtle humor in each. Hawkes has done the illustrations for the story, but Harrison is credited for creating Lulu's miniatures. The contrast of the two types of illustration is what make this book so clever."–Maggie Chase, Boise State University, ID, School and Library Journal, starred
"Perhaps as a hat tip to their own collaboration—Harrison was once Hawkes's intern—Hawkes (Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch) tells a story about two fictional artists who work together. Lovable, nearsighted Remy wears a baggy purple smock and bottle-bottom spectacles, and paints cubist-style portraits. "I paint the essence of a person, not their likeness," he says, just before a disgruntled subject breaks a canvas over his head. Unbeknownst to the myopic Remy, his brilliant hound, Lulu, sneaks exquisite, sardonic portraits of the owners' pets into the corners of Remy's larger portraits; these miniatures are Harrison's (Extraordinary Jane) work. When Remy gets a pair of proper glasses and realizes that Lulu's work has been winning the praise he thought belonged to him, there's a period of chilly alienation before the two reconcile. Hawkes's artwork is characteristically sunny and lighthearted, while Harrison's detailed miniatures, whose animal subjects are posed in elaborate period costumes, sit a bit uneasily atop Hawkes's spreads. While the end result is thoroughly charming, they testify to some unwritten truth about the difficulty of reconciling two visual universes within the same book. Ages 4–9."–Publishers Weekly

May 2016: I have updated this page by removing some old books and updating versions. I will add some more newer books soon.
I have collected on this page the books I believe are the best books currently available for games programmers. I used to list all the books I had bought but I decided it was more useful just to list the best books. I have many shelves of games related books but only those below get looked at on any regular basis.
The fourth edition of this book is now available. It is even better than before and so remains one of my number one rated games programming book. I am currently reading it from the start and making notes as I go through - it is full of brilliant tips for beginners up to advanced games programmers. I particularly like the description of a game structure that he develops throughout the book. This is an area that has has little coverage (perhaps due to developers not being allowed to talk about code at that level) and he describes it very well.
Review of previous edition: I would suggest everyone interested in games development gets this book. It covers all areas of game development from an author who has worked in the industry (Ultima series of games). As well as describing traditional areas of a game like 3D graphics he also describes areas often missed by other books e.g. resource management, UI, main loop, loading ,caching etc. He introduces areas with chapters like: 'Dumb Stuff all game programmers should know' and '2D stuff every games programmer should know' and the level of humour and anecdotes is just right. I am amazed at how much insider detail he gives out about games he has worked on - I would dare not do that myself because of all the NDAs but he has obviously got approval to do so. Most of the book is not related to any specific platforms although where he does go into more detail it tends to be DirectX and Win32 programming. This is the kind of book you can use for some years as you develop your games programming skills.
This is the first book I have seen that actually aims to be a complete text book for people studying games programming and it does it very well. It covers all areas of games programming and is an invaluable reference. It is a large book as it has an awful lot to cover and so in places it does not go into much low level detail. I was a little disappointed with this to start with but in fact it is not what this book is about. This book is more to do with presenting a complete collection of the various topics and introducing solutions across the whole field of games programming. You dip into it to find out how things are done and then you can follow the references if you wish more code level detail. While this is an expensive book I would still highly recommend it. Update May 2016: Now in its second addition I still highly rate this book.
Game Programming Gems (1 to 8)
The Game Programming Gems series of books are all invaluable books containing chapters dedicated to the programming of different areas of a game from AI to Graphics. Each chapter is written by an experienced game developer revealing their techniques. I would not recommend these books for the beginner games programmer but for the more advanced they are a must.
Update May 2016: the Gems books are still useful but naturally some of their content is now out of date. There is a Best of Games Programming Gems that just takes the 'most valuable and timeless articles' from the previous books.
If you are new to C++ programming and have struggled learning from the more traditional books I would seriously suggest this book. It differs in approach from all other C++ books by describing useful programs that involve a number of areas of C++ right from the start. So high level data structures are used right from the start, you do not need to wade through each command available before getting on to something interesting. It concentrates on solving problems and explains the features of the language with respect to those problems rather than the other way around.
Written by Bjarne Stroustrup the creator of C++ this is the definitive reference to the language and a book you will see recommended often. Personally I do not think it is a good beginners book, there are better ways to learn the language from scratch, but it is a book you will find in most C++ programmers shelves. Update May 2016: the latest version includes the C++11 standard.
These books contain a number of items (the first has 50 the second has 35) that describe how to use C++ well. They act as a really good reference and have changed the way I program in many ways. Some example tips are 'Prefer const and inline to #define' , 'prefer new and delete to malloc and free', 'Make sure base classes have virtual destructors', 'Postpone variable definitions as long as possible' and 'Say what you mean; understand what you're saying'. Each tip is described fully with reasons, examples and discussions. For the intermediate to the experienced C++ programmer I would definitely recommend these books.
There are a number of free books available including the GPU Gems books from NVidia.
Once you have a good grounding and some experience of object oriented programming you start to consider the arrangement of classes and how to solve awkward situations. This book is absolutely superb at helping you move code around and rearrange your classes into a much better design. He talks about bad code having a bad smell and he describes these situations and how you might solve them. For example if you have Duplicate Code he suggests methods to extract the code, extract the class, pull up the method or form template method. If you have a large class he suggests methods like extract class, extract subclass, extract interface etc. So the book is full of solutions to common code design problems. The examples are given in Java rather than C++ but they are never so complex that they cannot be interpreted by a reasonable C++ only programmer.
Once you have been programming in an object oriented language for some time you start to see the same design patterns occur again and again. You see the same shape of class relationships and you start to reuse these shapes in other projects. This was what the Gang of Four observed and they decided to formalise these patterns and produced this, now famous, book. If you have a design issue you can be sure someone else has seen a similar one and come up with a solution. This book describes many design solutions (patterns) commonly facing object oriented programmers. Update May 2016: for a games specific take on patterns see the excellent Game Programming Patterns book at the top of the page,

Thousands of civilians are seeking shelter at UN bases in South Sudan after a second night of fighting between factions of the national army. A UN official said 13,000 people had sought refuge in the capital, Juba.
A number of high-profile government critics, including at least seven former ministers, have been arrested. "The way they're going after people is really causing fear," said Susan Page, the US ambassador.
Juba's military hospital has received around 400 casualties amid reports of fighting in multiple locations across the city. "We've lost a lot of people," said one of the doctors. At least 20 more were being treated at the Juba teaching hospital, where Dr Wani Mena said most of the patients were suffering from gunshot wounds.
South Sudan's foreign minister said on Tuesday that the military had "cleared out remnants" of a faction accused of mounting a coup attempt. "They are still looking for more … who are suspected of being behind the coup," Barnaba Marial Benjamin said.
The former vice-president, Riek Machar, who is accused of orchestrating the alleged coup attempt, is believed to be in hiding.
The hunt for Machar, an influential politician and one of the heroes of the brutal war of independence waged against Sudan, threatens to cause further political upheaval in the world's youngest country, where the president, Salva Kiir, has been locked in a power struggle with his former deputy for months.
Kiir fired Machar, who is also deputy leader of the ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement, as vice-president in July. Machar has said he will contest the presidency in 2015, and has openly criticised Kiir, saying that if the country is to be united it cannot tolerate a "one man's rule" or "dictatorship".
Kiir sacked his entire cabinet along with Machar, prompting the US and EU to call for calm amid fears the move could destabilise the country.
The office of the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, said in a statement that he was "deeply concerned about reports of fighting" and "about the risk of targeted violence against certain communities". He urged the country's military leaders to "impose discipline on their forces and to exercise maximum restraint in the use of force".
The oil-rich east African nation has been plagued by ethnic tension since it broke away from Sudan in 2011. In the rural state of Jonglei, where the government is trying to put down a rebellion by a former colonel in the country's armed forces, the military faces charges of widespread abuses against the Murle ethnic group of the rebels' leader, David Yau Yau.
Thousands of people have been displaced from their homes, many seeking refuge across the border in Sudan.

One of our users pointed out that we have a lot of hacks and tutorials that cover WordPress Custom fields, but we never bothered explaining what exactly is a WordPress Custom Field, and how it can be utilized. So in this article, we will share a step by step guide to use WordPress Custom Fields which should beginning developers or DIY users very excited. Furthermore, we will be compiling a list of cool things you can do with WordPress Custom Fields in this article, so this will really show you how custom fields can extend the power of WordPress.
Note: In WordPress 3.1 – the core team wanted to make the Write Panel cleaner, so they unchecked the view button for Custom Fields. If you don't see them, then click on the Screen Options Tab (in the top right hand corner), and check Custom Fields.
What are WordPress Custom Fields?
Custom Fields are a form of meta-data that allows you to store arbitrary information with each WordPress post. While this does not sound so powerful, it is the single most powerful component of WordPress posts and content types (aka post types). This meta-data is handled with key/value pairs. The key is a "name" which identifies the specific field thus it is a constant and should stay the same for all posts however you can use the same key multiple times within one post. The value is the information that will be displayed for the field when you call it in your WordPress theme thus it can change with each post.
Now let's take a look at a very basic example of WordPress Custom Fields in Action. While editing your posts, you see this section called Custom Fields. Scroll down a little, and you should see one. We will use that box to add the post author's mood at the time of writing. So you will add the name "Today's Mood", and then you will add the value which can be Happy, Sad, Excited etc.
Now once you add this field, and save the post. This additional arbitrary information related to your post is stored in the database, and it can be called anywhere within your WordPress theme. So for this very basic example, we will use the very basic way of displaying it in the post. Let's say, you want to display your mood before the person reads the post, so they know what to expect. Well, then you will open your single.php file and add this code inside the WordPress loop:
<?php the_meta(); ?>
It will display something like this:
Today's Mood: Happy
Now by using the_meta hook, you will display all fields associated with that post. This is great when you have one field, but if you have 5 different fields that you want to display at 5 different locations, then we will have to use get_post_meta hook. Let's say you want to display the custom field at a separate location by itself, then you will add the following code within the post loop.
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'key', true); ?>
Note: replace the key value to whatever your key is.
What if you have a custom field like 'songs' for the songs you were listening while writing the post? Well you can have multiple 'songs' keys and have different values stored from the backend. Then inside your loop paste a code like this:
<?php $songs = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'songs', false); ?>
This post is inspired by:

 <?php foreach($songs as $song) { echo '
'.$song.'
'; } ?>

Note the trick here is the third parameter "false". By changing it to false, we tell the function to return an array of the values for the specified key. This is a very handy trick for displaying multiple key values.

Extending the Power of Custom Fields
Custom fields can and does go beyond just the mood and songs example. Powerful plugins like Yoast's WordPress SEO, WP-Post Ratings, and many more are utilizing custom fields to achieve their respective functionalities. Many powerful frameworks like Genesis, Headway, iThemes Builder and others are also utilizing custom fields to control different single post layouts. In short, custom fields played a crucial role in revolutionizing the way we think of WordPress themes.
Now you might be wondering if so many of these plugins are using custom fields, then why don't I see them in my post admin panel? This is because a lot of these plugins provide you with a simpler user-interface (UI) to improve user experience (UX). For example WordPress SEO Plugin gives you a section to enter your title, description, keyword etc. for each post. Genesis gives you a visual examples of layouts to select from. Themify gives you color boxes to select different color schemes per post. Now imagine if all of these frameworks and plugins required you to enter each of their custom field key's and value manually, you will spend weeks writing a single post. Because you would have to print out a 15 page cheat sheet to memorize each specific key and values attributed to it. To avoid clutter and confusion, these theme and plugin developers hide their custom fields entries and give you a more robust easy to use interface.
If you are a new developer or theme designer looking to learn, then you will be wondering how exactly are they hiding these fields? Well, all you have to do is add an underscore '_' before the value of your custom field's name. So the name would look like this: "_wpbeginner-trending", and the value could be generated through a custom user interface or dynamically through your code. So if you were to add the custom fields through your plugin or theme's functions file, then you would add it like this:
add_post_meta($id, '_name', 'value');
Notice that underscore must be there in order for it to remain hidden from the user. Often when you are dealing with clients that are not very "tech-savvy", it is very useful to utilize the technique above. You can also entirely remove the custom fields area and create a custom write panel (with a better user-interface) to help your client maximize the power WordPress without having them confused. This is extremely important when you have a lot of meta-data customization options available in your theme. An example of a write panel can be seen in the image below:
The image reflects the current version of our portfolio located at Uzzz Productions. Now you are probably wondering how did we create this write panel? Well, please follow this tutorial on how to add custom meta boxes in WordPress. These write panels essentially can replace the default custom fields layout, so once you are done creating the easy write panel for your client's theme, then it is time to go ahead and disable the default custom field display for them.
How to Hide Custom Fields from Your Users
Open up your theme's functions.php file and add the following:
add_action('admin_init','remove_custom_meta_boxes'); function remove_custom_meta_boxes() { remove_meta_box('postcustom','post','normal'); remove_meta_box('postcustom','page','normal'); }
Now we will go into sharing some of the cool tips, tricks, and hacks for custom fields. Custom fields are limited to your imagination only, so there are tons of cool tricks that we might miss.
Using Custom Fields with Conditional Statement
It is always best practice to display custom fields with a conditional statement, so if that field does not exist, then a default content would take it's place. For example, if you are not listening to a song while writing the post, so you forgot about the field and left it empty. Well, then the default content can take it's place. Look in the example below:
<?php $songs = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'songs', true); //Checking if anything exists for the key Songs if ($songs) { ?> Listening to: <?php echo $songs; ?> <?php } //if there is nothing for songs then display else { ?> Listening to: Nothing (Grooveshark is under maintenance) <?php } ?>
By displaying the conditional elements and default content, you keep the styling of your theme intact, and it looks professional.
Using Custom Fields as a Conditional Statement
Using custom fields as conditional statements can be a very handy technique. We will show few examples of how you can utilize custom fields as a conditional statement for your WordPress theme design.
Only Display Posts with a Specific Custom Field
The best part about query_posts function in WordPress is that it has a parameter for custom fields. So we can use it to create a loop that only displays posts with a specific custom field key and/or value. All you would have to do is enter the query_posts tag above your post's loop statement. Let's say you want to display posts that you wrote while listening to a music as opposed to posts that you wrote in reflection of the book you read.
You will paste the following query before you start the loop:
This code will list posts with the meta key music present.
Let's say you want to customize it a bit more by saying you want to display posts that you wrote while listening to Eminem's Songs. Well then, you will customize the codes like this:
Display the Digg Button only when the custom field is present
Not every post is meant to be submitted to Digg. For example your blog's anniversary post will most likely not make it to the front page. By having it submitted, you can actually hurt the chances of your site ever hitting the front page. Well to solve this issue, you can display the digg button only when a specific custom field is present.
Paste the following code in your single.php file inside the loop:
<?php // check for digg button for single page $digg = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Digg', $single = true); // if there's a single page digg button if($digg !== '') { ?>   <?php } // end if statement // if there's not a digg button else { echo ''; } ?>
Now all you have to do when writing your posts is enter the custom field with the key "Digg" and the value "true".

You can use this similar technique to display the Facebook Like button in selective WordPress posts.
Rewrite Guest Author's name with Custom Fields
Have you ever had a guest post on your blog? How do you go about giving the author full credit? Some bloggers create entire new author profiles for their guest authors in order to display the right name. We think that it is pointless to create extra user profiles if you know that this guest author will only post once. This trick will let you replace the author name with a custom field.
Paste the following code in your theme's functions.php file:
add_filter( 'the_author', 'guest_author_name' ); add_filter( 'get_the_author_display_name', 'guest_author_name' ); function guest_author_name( $name ) { global $post; $author = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'guest-author', true ); if ( $author ) $name = $author; return $name; }
Now every time that you are posting a guest post, just make sure that you add a custom field called guest-author and it will replace the author's name with the text that you put in that custom field.

Display Custom Fields Outside the Loop in WordPress
Until now in this article, all we have shown you is adding custom fields inside the post loop. Well, there will be times that you need to display post-specific content outside the post loop. All you have to do is display the custom fields like this:
<?php global $wp_query; $postid = $wp_query->post->ID; echo get_post_meta($postid, 'Your-Custom-Field', true); wp_reset_query(); ?>
You will need to make sure that you change the part where it says "Your-Custom-Field".
Source: How to Display Custom Fields outside the loop in WordPress
Display Custom Header, Footer, Sidebar using Custom Fields
Header, Footer, and Sidebar stays the same for all posts and pages in WordPress. Well, if you are creating a custom design and want to have different sidebar, header, or footer for each post, then it is possible to do so with custom fields. In this example, we will just replace sidebar as an example. You will need to open your single.php or page.php file and find the following code:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
Replace it with the following:
<?php global $wp_query; $postid = $wp_query->post->ID; $sidebar = get_post_meta($postid, "sidebar", true); get_sidebar($sidebar); wp_reset_query(); ?>
Now when you are writing a post or a page, and you want to display a custom sidebar all you need to do is add the custom field "sidebar" and include the name of the sidebar file. For example if you insert "wpbpage", it will display sidebar-wpbpage.php as your sidebar.
You must have the file already in place to call it from a specific post. This trick is mostly used in larger magazine style sites, but it is commonly used for custom pages also. One of the easiest way to start out creating a new sidebar file is copying your sidebar.php codes into this new file and edit/add the codes that you want.
You can use the similar technique to replace header and footer.

Manipulating the RSS feed content with Custom Fields
Did you ever want to add a specific content just for your RSS readers in a specific post? Well this can also be done with custom fields. In this first example, we will show you how you can use custom field to display specific text/object in your WordPress RSS Feed. This trick will allow you to show different text, advertisement, image, or anything else for each post. First open your functions.php and paste the following codes in the php tags:
function wpbeginner_postrss($content) { global $wp_query; $postid = $wp_query->post->ID; $coolcustom = get_post_meta($postid, 'coolcustom', true); if(is_feed()) { if($coolcustom !== '') { $content = $content."

".$coolcustom."
 "; } else { $content = $content; } } return $content; } add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'wpbeginner_postrss'); add_filter('the_content', 'wpbeginner_postrss');
Now just create a custom field called "coolcustom" and add any value you like. You can add google adsense in there, or any other ads/images/text that you like.
In the second technique, we will show you how to add additional text to post titles in RSS. This comes very handy when you are running a blog and have guest posts / sponsored posts. By utilizing this technique, you can tell your RSS readers in the title whether a specific post is a sponsored post or a guest post.
For example if your title was "Start Microblogging in WordPress with Wumblr" and it was a sponsored post, then you can change it to "Sponsored Post: Start Microblogging in WordPress with Wumblr". Same if someone wrote a guest post etc.
To accomplish this, open your theme's functions.php file and add the following code in there:
function wpbeginner_titlerss($content) { global $wp_query; $postid = $wp_query->post->ID; $gpost = get_post_meta($postid, 'guest_post', true); $spost = get_post_meta($postid, 'sponsored_post', true); if($gpost !== '') { $content = 'Guest Post: '.$content; } elseif ($spost !== ''){ $content = 'Sponsored Post: '.$content; } else { $content = $content; } return $content; } add_filter('the_title_rss', 'wpbeginner_titlerss');
The code above search for two custom fields name "guest_post" or "sponsored_post". If any of these two custom fields are found with a value "true", then it will add the appropriate text before the title. This technique can be utilized in various ways to fit whatever you like.

Set an Expiration Date for Your WordPress Posts
This hack comes becomes very useful when you are running a contest because you might be posting information such as clues or hints that you don't want to stay up for ever. Instead of manually removing the article, you can just make it expire automatically. It also works if you have a product that you are offering a discount on. You posted it on your blog, but you don't want that discount to stay on your blog after its over. So you can remove it automatically with this code.
Your loop would need to look like this:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> $expirationtime = get_post_custom_values('expiration'); if (is_array($expirationtime)) { $expirestring = implode($expirationtime); } $secondsbetween = strtotime($expirestring)-time(); if ( $secondsbetween > 0 ) { // For example… the_title(); the_excerpt(); } endwhile; endif; ?>
Note: You may have to customize the codes to fit the look of your theme.
Once you pasted this code, you can use custom fields when writing a post to set an expiration date. Make sure you select the key "expiration" and use the the following date format: mm/dd/yyyy 00:00:00
Alternatively, you can the Post Expiration Plugin.
How to Style Individual Posts with Custom Fields
Want an entirely different look for your WordPress single posts? Well you can do this by adding custom post classes via custom field. We have written an entire article on how to style each WordPress post differently, so this code is based on that tutorial.
First thing you need to do is create a custom field with the name "post-class" and then add the value which will be your class. So in this example, we will use "anniversary". Once you have done that, then add the following code inside your loop:
<?php $custom_values = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post-class'); ?>
Now if you look in your loop, there is a post_class function inside a div class. Just replace that with something like this:
<?php post_class('class-1 class-2 ' . $custom_values); ?>
Alternatively, you can also add inline css to the header of your single pages. If that is something that you are looking to do, then open your header.php file, and insert the following code somewhere between the head tags.
<?php if (is_single()) { $customstyle = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'customstyle', true); if (!empty($customstyle)) { ?>

I need some advice on what exactly to do to bring a car's paint job back from the dead. My wife's poor Grand Am has seen better days and I'm ready to do something about it. Just to clarify, we just got married and I've only been in charge of keeping the car clean for about 1 month now. Anyway, I was thinking I should wash with Dawn to strip all the wax away, then use scratch X or a claybar, then wax, then polish. Does that sound about right? Also, what specific products would work best? I know there are a lot to choose from, but I'd just like to have some opinions.
Thanks guys.

What do you do? I'm a BRIXX Pizza franchisee.
Which device do you use? 2 iPod touches in the restaurant.
How long have you had them? 3 months.
How do you use your devices? We use them with an app called Survey on the Spot (free, app2.me/3737) to collect guest satisfaction feedback at the restaurant. We also use the iPod touch as a sweepstakes incentive for guests that take our surveys.
What apps do you use the most? Survey on the Spot
How does the iPod touch help you? The iPod touch running the app makes it fun and easy for guests to provide feedback on their experience at the restaurant. The system operates in real-time, so if there is a service issue, we know immediately via e-mail or text alerts. It has also been great as a tool to help us build our e-mail marketing list. The best part is that we don't have to do any data entry or tabulation. It all happens automatically.
Did the iPod touch require any special modifications to use it in the restaurant? It had to be permanently mounted on a small cutting board to make it easier for guests to handle and a little harder to steal. We also turn off all of the other tools on the iPod so guests don't use it to connect to the Internet. The app is set to auto start so that it returns to the first survey question automatically upon completion of a survey.
What would you do if you didn't have it? Hand out paper comment cards or ask guests to take a survey at home on the Internet.

The team lacks quality vets.
I'll agree that coaches like to have vets out in that situation - it's completely fair. And there's only so long you can go double-shifting Gagner and Horcoff without getting into a situation where you're
them. With only 3C's, Smyth was bound to come into a situation where he was being double-shifted.
Horcoff played 24 minutes tonight, Gagner 23. Smyth at 14 - you can't just not have a center on the ice...those other 2 guys were bagged.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait for Belanger to come back. I'd like to see him with Petrell/Brown and with Smyth on the bench.

2015 Ford Mustang to Get Four-Cylinder Turbo Engine
Given the success of Ford's EcoBoost engines, it's no real surprise the American automaker is considering a turbocharged four-cylinder powerplant for its next generation Mustang.
Even though die-hard Mustang enthusiasts will view it as almost sacrilegious to equip a Mustang with a four-cylinder powerplant, maybe they'll be pleased to know that it'll pack 330 hp and undoubtedly more than the current V6's 280 lb-ft of torque.
Reports are coming in that Ford is currently working on a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine to be used in the next-generation Focus RS. Matthias Ton, head of Ford's global performance car division, went on the record to say that the base model 2015 Mustang will share that same powerplant, replacing the current 3.7-liter V6.
In addition to the extra horsepower the turbocharged four-cylinder will provide, the Mustang will also benefit with better fuel efficiency than the current V6 which is 19-mpg city, 31-mpg highway. Even if we don't see the EcoBoost under the hood of the Mustang when it debuts in 2015, chances are the American automaker will fit it into the model's lineup within a year or two.

What cement to help flatten a floor to install Laminate flooring?
There is a section in my room that has (at it's highest point) 1.25" lower then the rest of the room. From that little step it slowly raises over about 4'.
I want to install laminate right over the concrete but this section is screwing me up.
So, in order to flatten out that area, what kind of concrete/cement do I use to fill in that area?
if the area has voids or dips, use a self-leveling compund. this will bring area flush with rest of floor. prime concrete with latex primer using paint roller. Pour SLC onto floor. use flat trowel or float to feather edges. take your time.

Manning, Alan (2009) You can't always get what you want: the impact of the UK Jobseeker's Allowance. Labour Economics, 16 (3). pp. 239-250. ISSN 0927-5371
In 1996 the UK made major changes to its welfare system for the support of the unemployed with the introduction of the Jobseeker's Allowance. This tightened the work search requirements needed for eligibility for benefit. It resulted in large flows out of claimant status, but, this paper concludes, not primarily into employment. The movement out of claimant status was largest for those with low levels of search activity. But, this paper finds no evidence of increased job search activity as a result of this change.

PhosChol® is a 100 percent pure source of polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC) and an oral therapy for use as a membrane therapeutic. With its special ingredient 1'2-dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine (up to 52%)' PPC is theoretically of importance in all disorders in which damaged membrane structures' reduced phospholipid levels and/or decreased membrane fluidity are present. This hypothesis is supported by experimental and clinical investigations on various membrane-associated disorders and illnesses.
Pharmacological investigations' a broad range of clinical trials' and other available data on PPC and its different modes of action' demonstrate that PPC acts primarily through its influence on membranes. As cell membrane changes and damages occur in many disorders' PPC's therapeutic approach in man is a physiological and holistic one.
In numerous studies' purified polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC) has been shown to:
.Help sustain healthy cardiovascular levels
.Support hepatocyte protection
.Help maintain membrane fluidity
.Aid in Gastric Mucosal Protection (from NSAIDs damage)
.Provide neuronutrient support
.Boost the immune system and protect against opportunistic infections
.Improve Physical Performance
The Gold Standard:
.PhosChol is the first and only 100% pure source of Polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC).
.PhosChol delivers 900mg of purified PPC per softgel capsule' and 3 grams of purified PPC per measured teaspoon of liquid concentrate.

Trojans Take Down Cal In Sudden Death
Oct. 15, 2011
BERKELEY, CALIF. - The No. 4 USC men's water polo team wrapped up another tense battle in Berkeley with a win over host Cal, this one taken down to the wire and capped off in sudden death by Jeremy Davie's winner with six seconds to go. Both teams held two-goal advantages during the match, but things tightened up in the fourth to push things into another overtime showdown between the Trojans and the Bears, mirroring the 2010 NCAA Championship match between the two teams in the same pool last season, though the tension would crank up even higher as the match went to sudden death. That's where Joel Dennerley's heroics in the cage helped set up a final strike from Davie, who slammed home the winner for a 9-8 Trojan victory over No. 2 Cal. USC improves to 12-2 overall and is now 3-0 in MPSF play with the win.
The match was a see-saw battle throughout. Cal opened up a 2-0 lead on the Trojans thanks to a 6-on-5 and a 5-meter penalty shot before USC answered with a pair of natural goals from Mace Rapsey and Peter Kurzeka to lock in on a 2-2 tie-up. Cal got another 6-on-5 to go before the end of the first, however, and would tally its first natural goal of the game on a lob in the second to go up 4-2. The Trojans were quick to take the wind out of the Bears' sails, however, as Forest Monroe delivered on a USC 6-on-5 to make it 4-3. Joel Dennerley announced his dominance in goal with a resounding close-range stop on a Cal 6-on-5 chance a minute later, and Tobias Preuss pulled USC even with the Bears with a score off a USC counterattack to make it 4-4 for halftime.
USC took its first lead of the game when Kurzeka hit Nikola Vavic for a nearside blast and a 5-4 USC edge early in the third. Cal would level it at 5-5, but USC had two searing scores ready and waiting. Jeremy Davie notched his first of the day on a power play earned by Brian Boswell, and after some stifling USC defense, Preuss skipped in a shot to the low left post for a 7-5 USC lead at 2:44 in the third. Cal cut in with a score on its next possession, and wound up forcing the game's third tie with a two-meter strike early in the fourth. Both defenses got stubborn from there, and no one was able to break the silence, putting the game into overtime.
The teams traded takeaways in the first overtime frame, while Dennerley put up a nice save. A Cal defensive field block sent the Bears off on a counterattack soon after, and Cory Nasoff finished it off from the post to put Cal up 8-7 with 19 seconds remaining in the first OT. In the second, the Trojans would strike on their opening possession after Michael Rosenthal won his fourth opening sprint of the afternoon. Mace Rapsey found Davie a set for the equalizer at 8-8, and the USC defense took care of the rest as Preuss and Stephen Siri each nabbed steals for the Trojans. After some confusion after Cal tried to call a timeout without possession, one second was put back on the clock for a last USC look for the win, but the shot went high, and the teams were on their way into a heart-stopping sudden death frame.
Cal opened up with the first look on goal, but Dennerley was there for the stop. Cal grabbed a dangerous steal and looked to have the win sewed up with a one-on-one chance against Dennerley, but the senior goalie put up a wall. That save and another big one by Dennerley put USC back on the attack, although the shot attempt would bar out. Mace Rapsey got a steal for the Trojans soon after, and although he was sent off with his third kickout on a double-exclusion, USC had the ball for a 5-on-5 set with 24 ticks to go. USC made the most of the chance. As the clock drained, Vavic found Davie on the post for the winner - a rocket to the back of the net for the win. Dennerley's effort in the cage saw the senior haul in 15 saves, matching a 15-save effort by Cal goalie Justin Parsons on the day.
USC's next action takes the Trojans to Santa Barbara next weekend in a 12 p.m. game vs. the Gauchos on Sunday (Oct. 23).
Oct. 15, 2011 - Berkeley, Calif.

Hi all, just got back into the BMW way with a '04 E46 325 SE.
First car was '78 E21 316, then '78 E21 323i (god I wish I still had that car), then '84 E30 323i, then had a few years break before getting a '95 E34 520 SE but traded that to a new Nissan Navara (what a mistake).
Anyway I'm all fixed now with a peach of a E46, nice to be on board again.

Judge Dismisses Attempt to Block Co-Locations
A state judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Public Advocate Letitia James and other litigants that sought to block about 35 schools from opening this fall inside co-located buildings shared by other schools. The schools were approved last year by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration, but James and her fellow plaintiffs claimed the process wasn't properly handled and would lead to overcrowding. Less than half of the co-locations involved charter schools.
James's attorney, Arthur Schwartz, said State Supreme Court Judge Eileen Rakower dismissed the suit for "failure to exhaust administrative remedies." The plaintiffs had also filed a complaint with the State Education Department, which has not yet made any decision. A spokesman said, "We will review the decision issued by the court today to see whether that decision impacts the appeals pending before the Commissioner."
Schwartz said the litigants haven't yet whether to continue pressing the case. The schools have already accepted students for the coming fall.
The suit was joined by several council members, among them Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, and the education groups Class Size Matters and the New York City Parents Union.
James Merriman, Chief Executive Officer of the New York City Charter School Center, issued a statement calling on James to stand down.
"We hope that Ms. James will finally move on from this waste of taxpayer money, and use the power of her office to work for the interest of our city's lowest-income kids" he said, instead of "working in cahoots with the teachers union." The union had also brought a lawsuit.
But James stood by her claims that "forced co-locations that result in overcrowding, special students' losing space, and elementary students being mixed with high school students, are unacceptable."
Leonie Haimson of the group Class Size Matters added that students in the existing schools will be squeezed into larger classes or lose art and science rooms.
The charter schools in question include the three operated by Success Academy that Mayor Bill de Blasio had blocked from opening inside other public schools. They will now open inside former Catholic schools, instead, which will be leased by the city.

Born when the reserve supported farming as well as fishing, Betty Travers, 73, recalls that "we used to have cattle. Across the river, there was a pasture and the first floods were all over there." Gradually, "our cattle became sick. Their hoofs came off and we had to sell them all – what was left of them."
Over the years, the land became permanently sodden. Crawl spaces under homes filled with water and septic tanks popped out of the ground like corks. Even roofs began to rot.
Then came last year's superflood. Homes that were not in good shape to begin with – walls subjected to decades of black mould had been painted repeatedly just to hide the stain – were left complete writeoffs. Now, having been uninhabited for so long, they provide shelter for weasels, mice, frogs and other vermin. Some have been vandalized.
The federal government had said for years the reserve should move to a better location, talk that was sporadic and unproductive until hundreds of people were suddenly living in hotels.
A month after the evacuation, the province and community representatives jointly examined a series of sites to see if they were suitable as a new home. As far as the band was concerned, a parcel identified as Site 9 stood out, and Mr. Sinclair quickly informed both governments.
Instead, six months later, the province quietly purchased a tract adjacent to the old reserve. Lake St. Martin officials say they learned of the deal from the property's former owners only after the papers had been signed.
Not only is this site little better than what was flooded, Mr. Sinclair argues, it should not have been bought without his knowledge or that of his council.
Then the province paid nearly $14-million to acquire mobile homes and turn the nearby site of a former radar base, a Cold War relic, into an interim home while a permanent one is being built. At first, Mr. Sinclair agreed, as long as certain conditions were met. Community elders told him the property was on the path that garter snakes use by the thousand to reach their wintering ground. So he asked that the housing not be installed until last fall's migration was over and be moved to a permanent site before this fall's began.
But then, as the province was making the base habitable, the chief received words of caution from a Cree community to the north that had been relocated to temporary quarters near The Pas in 1962 after a hydroelectric project flooded its land. Fifty years later, the Cree were still there.
Mr. Sinclair started to worry. He had agreed to propose that his community move to the base if the province could provide assurances that it was moving ahead with an acceptable plan for a permanent location. But no work was being done elsewhere, and he was concerned as well that there had been no environmental study of the old radar site.
In any event, Mr. Sinclair says, he felt he had no authority to tell his people where to go; the decision was theirs to make.
He also dismisses any suggestion that his reticence stemmed from the fact he and a business partner were not chosen to supply the mobile homes. In fact, documents supplied by the band show that a community trust established for Lake St. Martin, not its chief, was to take 51 per cent of the profit from any such deal, with 49 per cent going to the partner, a local lumber dealer who knew how to build homes and had assisted the community after the flood.
The colourful, vinyl-sided housing now at the base is spacious, modern and far from the big city, where many people from Lake St. Martin say they are made to feel like outsiders, or worse – freeloaders and criminals. In March, when the houses were ready, some decided to take the offer despite any misgivings. But many have since moved back to Winnipeg, complaining of excessive supervision by non-native security hired to oversee the place and heavy-handed rules – no pets, no game brought back from a hunt, no visitors after 11 p.m.
Provincial officials call reports of such restrictive rules "both false and unsubstantiated" and dismiss the snakes as a myth. They say neither side is without blame for the mistrust that has developed, but insist they have done as much as they can to make the interim site livable.Report Typo/Error

Copper In aquarium water
Hey guys, i was gonna construct some sort of chiller using a radiator method and i figured the best heat conductor is probably a metal and i was wondering if i flowed water through a copper tube and bank into the tank, would it be harmful? smack me if its a stupid question but im new haha thanks!
Copper is fine for about 75 years.
It forms an oxidized layer that protects it from degrading.
thanks man!
Friendly reminder that water that flows through copper pipes has the potential to wipe out shrimp/sensitive fish ecosystems.
Doesn't matter what copper it is, if it's oxidized or what. It will leach trace elements into the water which will then kill off your entire tank of Grade SSS Red Crystal Shrimp.
Oh the horror stories...
The fact is copper piping oxidizes and DOESN'T leach copper into water.
im all copper as well, so is my water heater fish and shrimp are fine, algae doesn't die on water change day either
Try aluminum conduit, aluminum oxide doesn't scale off like copper's.
Aluminum is actually the best conductor, copper is the cheapest conductor.
My house was built in the 50's.... copper pipes....never have had a problem. Keeping OEBT's, TT's, CRS, CBS and mischlings all is and has been ok. I think new copper pipes need to "age". Anyway I would worry about copper except in new pipes or hardware.
People don't seem to understand that when we talk about copper toxicity were talking about excessive copper dosing or copper based meds. Incidental copper isn't relevant.
I used to manage the thousand gallon public aquarium at my community college campus (OCC) and we deal mainly with saltwater.
Copper is forbidden for any piping in our building because we've had mass die-offs when we unknowingly put copper piping in our automatic top-off system.
So much hated is this metal that when the building was first built and designed, one marine biologist Professor Dennis Kelly decided to stand by and watch them install all the copper piping for the building before telling them that it was in their contract to avoid metals like copper. Needless to say they had to redo all the piping and we had to hear about it during class.
Then came a huge lecture about what to use and what not to do when it comes to system water. You won't begin to believe the amount of [censored][censored][censored][censored] you're not allowed to use in the water.
Meant to say that I agreed, and realized I was only referring to the oxidation that occurred between salt water and copper pipes. Freshwater and copper obviously has no ill effects, so long as the minerals in the water don't react over time with copper.
Yes, saltwater and acidic water will corrode the copper but safe for fairly neutral freshwater. Nor worries for those SSS shrimps.
Thanks for the response guys. Really appreciate it. really answers all my questions!
or is aluminum conduit just more expensive than copper due to manufacturing issues? I'm just curious.
copper is 3-6x more expensive than aluminum...
And copper is one of the best conductors, that why they use it for electricity, and heating elements. The best conductor is gold, but that's to expensive to use.

I'm Serbian living in Novi Sad with my husband and 3 years old daughter . I'm very passionate about languages and teaching, always seeking for better and more effective methods. I love to work with people, I'm very patient, pleasant, flexible, open to change and to improve myself.
Master degree in French language and literature 2006
Passed CILS C1 and C2 2008-2009
Passed CAE 2010
I've been teaching adults from 16 to 60 years old for about 10 years now. I've been working in different language schools and specialized myself in beginners classes. I'm teaching in a simple way for a student to make it easier and enjoyable, also to memorize more effectively. Other than French I'm fluent in English and Italian.
I enjoy teaching languages and working with people. I organize my lessons based on the request of a student and I am always prepared to change.
I like to create good atmosphere and I love when students feel free and enjoy lessons, but also when they are motivated and ready to work and practice. I design customized role-playing exercises for each student. My students have to read texts, articles, or watch something online, and then we discuss it and look through theme vocabulary and grammar. I give them constantly something to write because I consider it a good way to practice and prepare themselves for conversation.

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Terrorism and not settlements is the issue topping the Israeli-Palestinian agenda as far as Israel is concerned, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's spokesman said on Tuesday.
Sharon stated in an interview with an Israeli newspaper that the issue of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip is not "on the horizon right now."
The prime minister also said that Jews would continue to live in Beit El and Shilo - two settlements with historic links to the Jewish people - under Israeli sovereignty.
He had made comments about those two communities a month ago in reference to "painful concessions," leading some to believe he would relinquish them as part of a settlement with the Palestinians. But his comments in the interview in Tuesday's Jerusalem Post corrected that assumption.
Sharon's remarks come a week before he is due to meet with President George Bush in Washington to discuss the U.S.-sponsored "road map" to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and establish a Palestinian state.
The road map calls on Israel in the first phase to freeze settlement activity and remove illegal outposts - established during the past few years - in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Secretary of State Colin Powell said this week after meeting with Sharon in Jerusalem that settlements were one of the most difficult issues to be dealt with and that Bush would speak to Sharon in "very open, straightforward, honest and candid terms" about the settlements.
The U.S. views the settlements as an "obstacle to peace" and sees establishing them as a unilateral action, which the U.S. is against by either side, an American official said here on Tuesday.
The Palestinians want Israel to evacuate the settlements, where more than 200,000 Israelis live, because they say the settlements break up the continuity of the land they hope will become a future Palestinian state.
New Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas listed ending settlement activity as one of the issues in which he is interested following his meeting with Powell.
But Sharon spokesman Dr. Ra'anan Gissin said on Tuesday that the settlements were "not an issue" now because the important thing is "to bring about an end of violence, terrorism, incitement."
When that has been accomplished, then the Israelis and Palestinians can move on to the next stage, where they will talk about a freeze on settlements and the dismantling of outposts, Gissin said in a telephone interview.
Gissin said that Sharon had referred to Beit El and Shilo because they were the "cradle of the Jewish people" and held special historical, religious, national and emotional ties and compared losing them to someone asking the U.S. to give up Mt. Rushmore or the Grand Canyon.
The West Bank and Gaza Strip - known to Jewish people by the Biblical names of Judea, Samaria and Gaza - contain many places mentioned in the Bible that they believe God promised to give to the Jewish people as an eternal inheritance.
But Gissin said that despite the sensitive subject, he is not expecting any pressure on Sharon from Washington next week.

Bad Covers: a problem with science fiction
Pulp science fiction paperbacks were a base staple of my young life. But after growing up and becoming a design nerd, those paperbacks are a little… embarrassing. For every well-designed book cover (like David Pelham's cover of Clockwork Orange), there's three terrible illustrations of floating orange skycars and lizard-faced aliens. They can be so bad […]Read more

I really don't know what it is about moustaches these days, but I am seeing them all over the internet made out of any material around! This little lady wanted one, so she made one (seriously, a 7yo can sew this).
Whatcha need: your choice color of felt, scissors, embroidery floss to match felt (I separated 2 pieces from the 6), moustache pattern, embroidery needle, and the skinniest oval cord elastic you can get.
Draw out half a stache on a folded piece of paper, this stache is about 10 1/2 inches from tip to tip of the stache and about 4 inches from the lowest part of the stache to the highest part of the stache. There all kinds of crazy staches out there, experiment with different styles. For this tutorial we focused on a simple style.
Cut out your pattern and put it on your felt. (Or you could use a half pattern and cut on the fold). We made a black one, but you could make one to match your hair color.
Now grab about 21 inches of oval cord elastic, stitch it to the middle of the stache.
By the way…."you say mustache, I say moustache!" He! He!

Mercedes-Benz 300sl: Gullwings and Roadsters 1954-1964
€ 32,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
April 2005
BeschreibungIn 1952 Mercedes-Benz astonished the racing world with the successes it achieved with its 300SL, exploiting an advanced space-type frame and aerodynamic body with gullwing doors. Already the subject of a Ludvigsen Library Series book, the racing 300SL inspired the creation of a production version, which first took flight in 1954. The 300SL stunned critics and experts alike with its fabulous performance-more than 150 miles per hour-exotic looks and superb build quality. Not just a pretty face, the 300SL was also extremely successful in competition on both sides of the Atlantic. The original coupe was followed by a roadster version in 1957; in all, 3,258 were made. Drawing on his unmatched archive of Mercedes-Benz photos, including coverage by Rudy Mailander and Edward Eves of the 300SL production line, Karl Ludvigsen presents the 300SL in all its glory. He also draws on his own experience as an owner of one of these great cars.

Lupus forces singer Toni Braxton into LA hospital

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Singer Toni Braxton has been hospitalized in Los Angeles.
The R&B performer says in a Tweet on Friday that she's been hospitalized because of "minor health issues" related to Lupus. A spokeswoman confirmed the hospitalization but had no other details. "But no worries!," Braxton wrote to fans. "I will be out any day now."
The 45-year-old singer of "Un-break My Heart" revealed two years ago she has Lupus, a potentially deadly autoimmune disease that killed Braxton's uncle. She also suffers from a narrowing of the blood vessels in her heart.
Braxton said in a recent "20/20″ interview that doctors told her the Lupus diagnosis meant her performing career would likely be diminished and the disease helped push her into a recent bankruptcy.

I've been playing a decent amount of "French Football" here in Pau. First there is the university-organized club every Tuesday night from eight to ten. Through that, I met those terrific German students that I can't get enough of. They first invited me to play some informal games with them during the weekends But as a matter of fact, those sketchy Germans have flaked out every time so far, so I still have yet to play with them outside of Tuesday.
The Chinese are much more reliable. They constitute a rather large group as well, so I have had the pleasure of playing a little four on four with them these last two Sundays. According to my friend Wen, most of these Chinese students have been living in Pau for at least several years. One guy's been here for seven. They all came to study at the university. My classmate, Li, with whom I've spent the most time, has lived here for a year (that is, he's only been studying French for a year, and he already speaks about as well as I) and wants to eventually work as a professor of French Litterature in China. Other guys I've talked to are studying for business. Assuming they all would like to return to China someday, French seems like a fairly practical language to know, considering its familiarity in most south-east Asian countries.
Despite the fact that most of the Chinois speak French fluently, they naturally prefer to speak their native tongue when congregated together. Last week, this peculiarity put me, the sole non-Chinois, in an interesting position. When I stuck out my hand and greeted one of the guys with a hardy "bonjour", he laughed and replied "bonjour" mockingly, then looked to his friend and said something incomrehensible.
I can see where he was coming from. There's something absurd about two members of two different cultures from opposite sides of the world meeting together in a country whose culture and language are completely foreign to both parties and endeavoring to humor the customs of this third-party foreign culture when there isn't a single stinky-cheesy Frenchman in sight. In a case like this, being an �tranger deux fois �tranger, it only makes sense that I learn a little bit of Chinese.
So from now on I greet them with "nee-HOW!"
