Like Mankz, I don't think I've paid delivery with Scan since the last team up (which sounds surprisingly like the current team up) a couple of years back.

Oh, you flatterer, you :oOriginally Posted by Sifter3000
Sure, but you've been our fans since forever. This new version of the offer opens it up to people who haven't been cool for all that long :p
bit-tech is, at the end of the day, a business so, yes, they probably are getting some revenue out of it - as will Scan. That's business.Originally Posted by j_jay4
Am I the only one being cynical and thinking "I wonder what bit-tech is getting out of this deal"

It's not like Scan is a hardware manufacturer and the reviews will be subjective in their favor. You should've red better.
Some people like to make a problem of evrything these days!

Don't be so naive, this is no different to Scan having a banner advert on the site or a page in the magazine (which they do, on the back page of every mag), just in this case they get a link to their site with every product review (I assume that's how it works anyway), where before it would often link to competitors' sites. At the end of the day, if you didn't trust the opinions of the writers in the first place why would you even read the site or buy the magazine?

It's not the freaking BBC. Get real mate, it's a bloody marketing and publishing company. That's what they do for the living. And who cares if Scan get retailer of the year or DreamPC of the year, they still deserve it in the end.Originally Posted by battles_atlas

Scan do manufacter systems which CPC review. As others point out, if I was another manufacturer entering the Dream PC contest, I'd be pretty concerned. In fact I probably wouldn't enter. Scan also sell some products and not others, and CPC review some products and not others. If you can't seen the possible conflict of interest, you should probably go read a book.

[...] I would find it a lot more distasteful if an actual manufacturer which has big sway such as Asus/Gigabyte/nVidia entered into a deal with Bit-Tech, since they actually make the stuff in question, so there would be an obvious issue of bias with reviews. People have free will, if an item gets a good review, theres a multitude of places to buy them and check the prices if you want to buy it. The fact theres a little Scan forum where you can get free delivery doesn't change a whole lot.

What's the point of getting BiT to say "Product X is better than Y" if it isn't, when they stock Product Y too? All Scan are offering is the means to buy from them. Since there are ten billion retailers online, a price comparison is only a click away. In addition, since most of BiT's forumites are relatively well informed, I can't see anyone clicking the links in "What Hardware?" and assuming that Scan is the sole vendor of the product...

This might be good business for Scan and bit-tech, but I think bit-tech's reputation will suffer from this partnership.
CPC mag already suffers from 'Scan syndrome' and will probably just get worse from now on.
I wonder when my subscription is due to end...

Assuming the reviews are unbaised and this is simply a link to Scan's product listing in addition to the "UK Price as Reviewed", what's the matter? Please don't take this as a complaint, just an observation, there's a huge variety of UK etailers out there and a large number of them are used for current price links. Now look at the links for the "US Price as Reviewed" and get ready to see a lot of Newegg. It's pretty much the etailer for North America, should Bit not get flak for always using them as well?

My post specifically mentions that it is assuming Bit's reviews are unbiased. Under this assumption no review should be contrary to any other site, unless those sites are biased or there is an honest mistake in some site's review.Originally Posted by cybergenics
Let's break it down. Site A produces review results for certain products, contrary to site B, C and D, and in this case, sites F, G, H, J, K, L, M. N...ok you get the picture. Site A has a tie up with a retailer X who gets preferential stock availablity, lower purchase price of stock and therefore maximum profits on certain product brands / lines.
Therefore it is in the interest of Site A, to promote retailer X.
Not that I would suggest anything like that is occuring here. Its just a theoretical situation, but it explains the mechanism. I'd like to call it 'WHAT*HIFI' syndrome.

Anyone know what to do? Looks like I have a valid Bit Tech account and a valid Scan account but can't take up the offer just because I use 2 different e-mail addresses... :(

No, they don't. Scan use CityLink for delivery of ALL items, so while Royal Mail costs might be the same, courier costs most certainly aren't.

I LOVED the grapple/tethering . It took me a bit to get used to the fact that I could hold one while still fighting the others. It was a really cool feature to add. I like exploring a bit and not trying to nit-pick on everything and just really enjoy it.
As for the PS4 only time will tell as to what future gaming and this console holds. I'm a little skeptical on a few of the details like being able to play streamed games while they download espeically the games that will be coming out for this console. I'm sure everyone's eye will now be on the upcoming E3 in June for more info and a peak at the new PS4. As well as Microsoft's expected announcement.

Submitted to: Journal of Plant Nutrition
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/11/2005
Publication Date: 3/22/2006
Citation: Evans, K.M., Riedell, W.E. 2006. Responses of spring wheat cultivars to nutrient solutions containing additional potassium chloride. Journal of Plant Nutrition 29:497-504. Interpretive Summary: Adding chloride fertilizer to low chloride-testing soil results in a positive yield gain 70 % of the time. These yield responses in hard red spring wheat are often cultivar specific. In a low chloride-testing soil, some cultivars show up to a 20% yield increase in certain cultivars while others are unresponsive. The physiological basis for the different cultivar responses to chloride fertility is not understood. The dynamic nature of dominant cultivars in specific agricultural regions make cultivar interactions exceedingly difficult to manage unless the fundamental cause of the cultivar-chloride fertilizer interaction is understood. Because soil fertility and disease suppression are among the most important management tools used by farmers, additional research on the physiological basis of the chloride effect is needed. The research reported here measured the chloride response of different hard red spring wheat cultivars under controlled environments. This information will be useful in future experiments designed to look at the impact of chloride nutrition on spring wheat diseases (e.g. scab and rust) and may also be useful to farmers who are interested in using a chloride fertilizer program in conjunction with specific spring wheat cultivars to increase yield.
Technical Abstract: Hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars respond differently to chloride fertilizer under field conditions. The objective this research was to investigate cultivar-specific chloride responses under controlled environments. Plants were grown in sand culture with +/- additional chloride (+/- 20 mM KCl) nutrient solutions or with different levels of chloride (0, 20, 80, 160 mM KCl) for four weeks. Of cultivars given additional chloride, 'Butte', 'Sharp', 'Ingot', 'Oxen', 'Forge', and 'Ember' had significantly greater shoot chloride response than 'Marshall'. 'Butte' had a lower initial chloride concentration than 'Marshall' (at the 0 KCl treatment level), but at other KCl treatment levels (20, 80, 160 mM), 'Butte' had higher leaf chloride levels than 'Marshall'. In soil-grown plants given 0, 20, 80, 160 mM KCl from planting to heading, seed number remained constant while individual seed weight and total yield decreased at higher KCl treatment levels in 'Butte'. Individual seed weight remained constant while seed number and total yield increased in 'Marshall'. We conclude that chloride fertilizer response in 'Marshall' seen under field conditions may be mediated by reduced chloride uptake which in turn resulted in decreased chloride toxicity at higher chloride soil fertility levels.

WRECKED IN BAHAMAS, BUT GOT 2,400 FISH; Chicago Aquarium Director,Back for a Week, Has Tale of Tropical Adventures
Walter H. Chute nearly lost his life doing it, but he brought back 2,400 specimens of tropical fish for the John G. Shedd Aquarium, of which he is director. "Some people think fishing is fun," Mr. Chute said today as he rested from his twentieth expedition in behalf of the Lake Front aquarium. "They ought to have been along."

Army welcomes 112 young men and women
Local recruits take oath of enlistment
The Colorado American Legion and the Denver Army Recruiting Battalion hosted the annual oath of enlistment for 112 recruits Friday night.
The young men and women ready for service are coming in at a time when there are more opportunities for women in the armed services. Under the military's new rules announced Thursday, women will have to meet the same physical requirements as men in order to serve in combat.
"I think its a great opportunity for them as like individuals," said Quentin Ziegler. "Say you're leaving high school, knowing you have more of an opportunity to do something good."
Some of the new soldiers are getting out of high school and are ready for training. Others still have college classes to finish before their service begins.
The oath of enlistment was administered by Brig. Gen. Darsie Rogers Jr.
Many of the young men and women who took that oath in the ceremony qualified by having three or more years of JROTC experience in high school or college.
Some new enlistees credit their family for inspiring them into military service but others say it's a personal challenge.
"Self improvement, serving our country -- because I really do believe the Army will be a great experience and help me out but I also want to give back," said Matthew Cavanaugh.

I do not want to more people mugged off by this company http://www.fastcardtech.com/ I recently bought a HDC GALAXY S4 off there web site. Everything they had claimed was fake, the processor was wrong, the GPS did not work, the 3G did not work and thats the half of it. I spent £180 including the return of it to not be refunded in the end. Now I have no phone no money. Yes I am naive and stupid for trusting them but still I dont want any one else to ripped off by this Chinese company as they seem to be getting away it. Paypal are useless and only care about who they are making the most off and its more profitable to keep the company over me. Not to mention its the chinese part of paypal that deals with returns, which closed my case an claimed I never sent the item back. I am in turn extremely annoyed about this and want to help other avoid there fake promises. Everything is to good to be true on there web site and when you call them up about the specs they lie directly to you and only keep the comments they want to on there web site.

text: by Kent Harrington Jan 30, 2012 Comments (0) AIChE Topics: Bioenergy Energy Share This Post: Located in the heart of the revitalized oil-rich Permian Basin, just five miles from west Texas, dusty and dry Hobbs, New Mexico, has always been considered the "Oil Capitol of New Mexico." It became a boom town in 1928 after it's first 700 barrel a day gusher. Having survived several boom-and-bust cycles over the years, Hobbs is busy again, attracting huge companies like Chesapeake Energy as they play out recent shale oil and gas discoveries. The first post-biomass technology build-out But all of this new activity obscures another energy boom just over the horizon. Joule Unlimited, a startup based in Bedford, Massachusetts, has recently received $70 million in funding to commercialize new technology that uses modified cyanobacteria that, while housed in a bioreactor known as a SolarConverter, uses solar energy to produce ethanol or other fuels in a continuous single-step process using waste carbon dioxide, gray water, and nutrients. (watch demo video) The company wants to prove earlier claims that its bacteria can produce ethanol for as little as $1.23 a gallon or diesel fuel for $1.19 a gallon, less than half the current cost of both fossil fuels and existing biofuels. Last February, according to Oilprice.com: the potential of the company's production process was supported with the publication of a detailed analysis... Published by Photosynthesis Research (see paper), the peer-reviewed article examines the company's advantages of producing renewable fuel and chemical production with yields up to 50 times greater than the maximum potential of any process requiring biomass. According to Joule, this could be a huge breakthrough in energy independence. "If we're half right, this revolutionizes the world's largest industry, which is the oil and gas industry. And if we're right, there's no reason why this technology can't change the world," exuded Joule's chief executive Bill Sims. Rapid growth in the foreseeable future While the company has only been around since 2007, it has already doubled its employees and moved into much larger corporate offices. Joule will spend their latest $70 million in Hobbs, building out the first post-biomass technology scheduled to reach commercial scale, which should begin production this summer. The facility in New Mexico will be of a five-acre "module" made up of multiple 100-meter-long rows of SolarConverters connected to a central processing plant that collects and separates the fuel. The facility is located near three natural-gas power plants,which will provide carbon dioxide. Joule has leased a total of 1,200 acres and plans to add additional five-acre modules over time, producing up to 25 million gallons at full commercial scale. New jobs on the company website According to Biofuels Digest: The goal of the demonstration is to show the "ease with which Joule's process can scale from hundreds to thousands of acres." Proceeds from the latest investment round will also support Joule's global expansion plans and on-going technology development. As the company gears up, they've put several engineering job postings on their website. You can hear a short talk from co-founder of Joule Unlimited above. Are you familiar with Joule Unlimited, and will it be a success?

Helen Mattson Palmer
Helen Mattson was born on June 5, 1921 to John and Helja Mattson in the small lumber town of Lawler, Minnesota. Her father was a lumberjack, so her mother and family followed him from one lumber camp to another throughout her childhood. Her pets were the wild animals she loved and tamed, her playground was the woods. The main mode of transportation for the Finnish family was by skis.
She met Charles Palmer on the steps of a General Store in Alvwood, Minnesota, when she was 17 years of age. After a short courtship they married and immediately left for a new life in Montana.
Mrs. Palmer had an adventurous spirit and a never ending desire to learn new things. When she was in her 70s she sprained her ankle playing ball with her grandchildren, and learned to drive a 4-wheeler when she was in her 80s.
At the age of 83, she decided she was missing out on too much family news, so she needed a computer. She enlisted the help of a granddaughter, telling her she wanted a computer and anything that went with one. The granddaughter happily complied and included a DVD so Mrs. Palmer could teach herself to type. She loved sharing pictures and emails with family and friends. About this time, Mrs. Palmer decided she wanted a puppy. Expecting some resistance from the family concerning a puppy, she started researching dog breeds online. After finding the perfect puppy she ordered it online and requested air shipment to Billings. The family learned of her purchase when she needed a ride to Billings to pick it up. Ginger became her beloved, constant companion.
Mrs. Palmer loved to go camping, but did not want to put anyone out by having to stay in their campers, so at the age of 85 years, she purchased her own. She enjoyed many campouts, and also used it as a summer home at the Bailey Ranch on her beloved Rosebud Creek.
She worked for 10 years as a nurse's aide at the Rosebud County Hospital and Nursing Home where she later resided. After moving to Rosebud Creek she worked at the Lame Deer IGA as manager of the drug and jewelry department.
She faced life with a smile on her face. Her motto was "If you can't change your situation, then change your attitude." She lived by that and accepted the challenges of life with cheerfulness. Mrs. Palmer was well loved by many people and will be missed by all who knew her, especially her family.
Her survivors include her eight children: Carol (Jack) Bailey, Charles Jr. (Kris), Karen (Larry) Kautzman, Shirley (Tom) Skinner, Gale (Julie) Palmer, Debbie Strizich (Jerry), Kathy Palmer (Dale) and Suzette (Bob) Phillips; her beloved dog, Ginger (Carma and Jim Zimmerman); 15 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; five and on-half great-great-grandchildren; and her sister: Helmi Larson.
Mrs. Palmer was preceded in death by her spouse of 63 years, Charles Palmer Sr.; her parents; and three brothers.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will take place Saturday, May 17, 2014, at 11 a.m. in the Chapel of Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home of Forsyth. Burial will follow in the Forsyth Cemetery. A luncheon will follow graveside services at Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home in Forsyth.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mrs. Palmer's name to The Rosebud Foundation, P.O. Box 500, Forsyth, MT 59327 or to The St. Labre Mission, P.O. Box 228, Ashland, MT 59003.

Pickax Murder Leaves Hawthorne in Shock
Neighbors say he was a quiet man---who kept busy renovating the home he moved into just a few months ago
The murder of William Hudnall, 51, of Hawthorne was so gruesome, he was identified by his dental records.
As a mother and daughter sit in the Alachua County jail on first degree premeditated murder charges, the Hawthorne community can't help but analyze the events that put them there.
"They didn't look threatening, they didn't have that appearance that they were killers," said Jasmine Mercado, a Hawthorne resident.
Guenevere Hudnall, 19, and her mother Stephanie Hudnall, 41, were arrested late Friday night for the murder of William Hudnall.
According to deputies, Guenevere killed her father in his sleep, with a pickax. Her mom Stephanie made the 911 call shortly after.
TV20 was at the crime scene, capturing what appears to be a smirk from Guenevere as her weeping mother is consoled.
"He was doing a lot of improvements to an older home, very unique architecture-we were glad to see some improvement happening in the neighborhood," said Ellen Vause, Interim City Manager.
Hudnall was the new face in town--- he just turned on his water in March.
Neighbors continue to talk about the crime they never saw coming.
"I heard he was retired from the military and his son was on his way home- he had just been to Iraq," said Marcus Sammons, owner of Sam's Garage.
"Man I couldn't believe it-- somebody's child could kill their father like that," he said.
According to detectives, the women told law enforcement their motive was Hudnall's social security benefits.
Neighbors say Hudnall had been living by himself, but occasionally, they'd see his daughter Guenevere helping with yard work.
A few flowers have been placed on the front lawn of his home as a memorial to a man few in Hawthorne knew.

Are those free CFL kits really "free?"
Customers pay for access to many energy efficiency programs on monthly bills
Post by
Dan Kolbet
Over the last few weeks thousands of
lighting efficiency kits
have arrived on the doorsteps of Avista's electric customers. The first reaction I've heard from co-workers, friends and folks online is, "wow, thanks for the free bulbs."
But are they really free? Let's take a look.
The CFLs are just one part of our energy efficiency programs. The most popular energy and cost-saving measures for residential customers include purchasing Energy Star® appliances, installing high efficiency natural gas furnaces and upgrading windows and insulation. The average residential rebate for single family homes was $131. Our energy efficiency tariff rider helps us provide these all these benefits to our customers (CFLs are just a piece of it).
There are no upfront costs for CFLs because customers have already paid for them through utility commission approved energy efficiency tariff riders. These tariffs are placed on monthly bills, for the sole purpose of promoting energy efficiency. All customers pay the tariff. Avista, along with many other utilities, use these tariffs to promote energy efficiency.
Customers want to save energy and look to us to provide energy efficiency expertise, incentives and rebates to help reduce energy use and reduce the amount of future energy generation required to meet growing energy needs. And customers are certainly using rebates and incentives. Last year Avista's three-state service territory received over 42,000 rebates and incentives totaling almost $19 million. This is enough energy savings to power over 5,700 homes for a year.
So, if you're an electric customer, when you get your lighting kit in the mail this year, know that by installing the bulbs, you'll be using a tool that you've paid for. It's also a tool that will start paying you back through energy savings. A Washington customer using an average of 1,000 kilowatt hours per month would save $93 over the seven-year life of the bulbs. For an Idaho customer, it's $104 saved.
All you have to do is install the lights when the kit arrives sometime between now and November.

Paul Krugman is beginning to wax Smithian. Via Mark Thoma
How goes the state of the union? Well, the state of the economy remains terrible. … But there are reasons to think that we're finally on the (slow) road to better times. And we wouldn't be on that road if Mr. Obama had given in to Republican demands that he slash spending, or the Federal Reserve had given in to Republican demands that it tighten money.
Why am I letting a bit of optimism break through the clouds? Recent economic data have been a bit better… More important, there's evidence that the two great problems at the root of our slump — the housing bust and excessive private debt — are finally easing. …
A couple of things.
This would actually be a great issue over which to flush out the relevant narrative. Paul sees housing prices and private debt overhang as the driving concern.
I tend to think that housing prices per se, don't matter, land prices do and that the private debt overhang is not necessarily a big deal.
If we lived in a world without capital it would be. The only way to get the economy going again would be for natural borrowers to be able to meet the savings demand of natural savers. That can only happen if the debt overhang is reduced.
However, in a world with capital this need not be the case. Natural savers can switch from funding the consumption of natural borrowers to funding the capital investment. In an environment of stable land prices and rising population this is almost a no brainer because structures last a really long time relative to recessions and increasing population means that eventually they will be needed.
If the carrying costs are zero or negative then building is no brainer. The problem is that buildings are attached to land and when land declines in value it upsets the collateral backing a potential loan. This effectively increases the risk premium and means that real interests rates have to be very low or even negative to fund construction.
In any case, what I wanted to touch on here was how fast the recovery can proceed. Most people are still saying years to full employment and that would be my guess, but it is worth noting that the speed limit on the economy is extremely high. Here for example is the closing of the output gap post 1983
From 7 percent to 1 percent in a little over a calendar year.
Now lets look at the output gap as it stands today
So following a similar path we could close the output gap almost completely by the end of this year.
Will that happen. Given the stance of the Federal Reserve so far, I doubt it. However, its important to note that this is a choice. The Fed is deciding that the costs to closing the gap by Q1 2013 outweigh the benefits.
It is clearly and fully within their power to do so and they have done so before.
I'll follow up on a couple posts on why this is utterly realistic on the ground. As a preview, we have the office space, we have the factory capacity, we have the roadway capacity, we have the electrical power generation in place. We have the storefronts. We have the cranes. We have the bulldozers All the things we need for GDP to increase GDP by 10% over the next year are in existence.
And, – and this is important – we have actual physical counts of these things. We need not speculate. We know how bulldozers there are in America. We know how many square feet of office space are for lease.
The pretense of knowledge is a lot less pretense-full when you have a 1 Terabyte portable Hard Drive and GIS mapping software.

Wow, thinking in 3D is hard. Remember how I was exited about how some simple trigonometry allowed me to easily move objects to arbitrary angles in the plane? Well, doing the same thing in a 3D space was surprisingly difficult. Not that it's inherently so complicated – just three simple trigonometric formulas, just like the two in the 2D plane. The problem? good luck figuring them out on your own. In 2D I just drew everything on a piece of paper. In 3D? I'll have to wait for some hologram 3D paper to be invented.
This was an easy case, because I could pretty easily get an answer from Google (here's a great page from an American math professor), but the problem is when you have more specific 3D needs, that aren't likely to have solutions scattered all over the Internet. Right now I need to find out if a line intersects a flat ellipse in 3D space, and not only is it complicated mathematically, but doing it in a programming language makes it much worse. I really hope I'll have some insight tomorrow.
Computer graphics – you're a fun, but difficult hobby.

The 4MM xilion bicone in bronze Is beautiful. The shade is rich looking, not too dark and with a clarity that takes the light well. I have used this bead in bridesmaid bracelets for a wedding. The bridesmaid dress colors are chocolate brown with some brown and silver beading on the neckline. This bead/bracelet pairs nicely with the dress. Since the bracelets will be a gift to the bridesmaids, they will be able to use them for everday wear, either dressy or casual. I am very pleased.

Date of Stay: September, 2005
We chose this park because it was rated highly in the 2005 Trailer Life guide, and we are glad we did. The smoking is not a problem in the office as we had read in previous posts here. It is now a "non-smoking" office which appeared to be very neat and clean. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Pool and bath houses were clean. With the train on one side and a road on the other, this campground can be noisy at times. Sites are well maintained but are slightly narrow. Good tree shading. We enjoyed our visit and will probably camp here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2005
We stayed here two nights while visiting the amusement park. We were lucky and were given a shaded campsite. There are some sites without trees. The campsite we were given had the electric and water hookups on the opposite side of the trailer (the door side). When we asked if we could move over one site, we were nastily told no. When I said that site was available, they said it would be too much trouble to change. I had to buy a longer water hose at their campstore just to hook up! Trash pickup several times a day from the front of your campsite was convenient.

At Google I/O last year, one of the highlights of the entire show was without a doubt the demo for Google Now on Tap. During the brief performance, if you will, Google showed that Google Now had grown into an on demand-like service that was capable of doing more than just anticipating your day. Instead, Google Now had grown to be able to analyze a current screen and then provide relevant information in a matter of seconds. (more…)

"Hey Cortana" Feature Removed From US Market for Android Users
Over on Google Play, the Windows team has removed the "Hey Cortana" feature from within the Cortana app, as it is reported it was causing issues for Android users who also utilized the "Hey Google" feature from Google Now. Instead of releasing a quick fix for this issue, the team behind the Cortana app for Android decided that removing the feature altogether was the only remedy available, as it is possible it could take a bit of time before a fix can be implemented and rolled out to users. (more…)
Tip: Set a Shortcut to Your Google Reminders After Setting a Reminder
In the most recent update to Google Calendar, Google finally made reminders a centrally functional feature across a variety of Google apps, including Calendar, Inbox, and Keep. Before this update, there was a chance that a reminder set in one app wouldn't ever make it into another app and your chances of missing it or forgetting about it were likely. While this centralized reminders control is awesome, attempting to find a complete list of reminders, including both current and past, has always been somewhat of a chore. In fact, the only ways I can think of to pull up a list is to say to Google, "View reminders," set a reminder and then hit the "View reminders" button shown after completion, or swipe into Google Now, then swipe out the side menu and choose "Reminders." Why there isn't some sort of dedicated Reminders widget or readily available shortcut is beyond me.
Well, there is actually a shortcut, it just isn't exactly all that easy to find, from what we can tell. Yesterday, one of readers spotted a prompt to add a home screen shortcut for reminders after he set a reminder. You can see it in the screenshot above and below. (more…)
Cortana Exits Beta, Available for Select Android and Cyanogen OS Powered Devices
Cortana, the digital assistant made to be the perfect companion for Windows users, has officially exited beta, made available to a number of select iPhone, Android, and Cyanogen OS powered devices.

Google Awakens the Force With Star Wars Themes for Apps, Includes Gmail and Maps
Because there was not already an over saturation of Star Wars crap for you to buy in stores, Google has launched Star Wars themes for your apps, just in case you needed more Force in your life. If you have a Google account, and use it for Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and other Google services, you can experience what the Light or Dark side have to offer their users.
To start, you will need to choose a side – Light or Dark. Once a side is chosen, you will begin to see Star Wars themes throughout many of Google's applications, whether it is on an Android device or desktop computer. For example, I chose the Dark side, opened my Gmail, and I was greeted with a darkly colored Empire theme. In addition, if you open Google Maps, find your home, you should see a Death Star. (more…)
Android Wear Gets a New Google Now Collection Card, Cleaner Traffic and Navigation Cards
It's tough to tell where this originated from, but thanks to an update to either the Android Wear or Google apps, some of us are seeing a new Google Now card on watches, along with cleaner traffic cards. I say that it could be from either, because both received updates within the past day, though one could be the recently launched beta of the Google app and may not be available to all. (more…)
Facebook Introduces Google Now-Like Notification Tab in Mobile Apps
Facebook is rolling out a new Notification tab to their mobile apps on both Android and iOS that gives its users more control over the information presented throughout the day or as they change locations. Not only will this tab show your notifications, but you will be able to customize it to show life events, upcoming events you are attending, sports scores, weather, etc. It's a lot like Google Now, though you may have more control here than what Google gives you with its own service. (more…)
Video: Google Now on Tap Tour!
Google Now on Tap is finally live and available to use for those running the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow preview. It will also be live when your new Nexus 5X or Nexus 6P arrives, or if your older Nexus is due for next week's update to 6.0.
To recap, Google Now on Tap "anticipates what you need in the moment." By long-pressing on your phone's home button, "you can get cards with useful information and apps that feed your need to know." Think getting quick information about a movie you are having a conversation about through email or being able to book a restaurant a friend just mentioned in Hangouts. It could even be a need for more information about an athlete you are reading about or artist you are listening to.
To get a better feel for the power of Google Now on Tap, check out the video below. (more…)

Florence, Italy
Having met in Florence during our first year in college, it has a special place in our hearts and we have always wanted to walk the Boyos down our memory lane. We stayed at a hotel near Piazza San Marco next to one of our favorite pasticcerias so we would be able to have our pick of the early morning pastries. Unfortunately, even though it was still early May the temperature in Florence was very hot and muggy, which was not entirely unpredictable since Florence is built atop a swamp, but as a result we opted for touring the city with the boyos in their stroller. We visited all our favorite haunts, including Roberto Cavalli at Piazza della Repubblica for their rasberry jam cookies (its Italy, everyone sells cookies). We walked to Brunelleschi's Duomo and had a look around inside with the boyos. We were going to have a look inside the Baptistry across from it as well but by then it was early afternoon and the sun was as hot as the line to enter was long, Lucy and I, having seen it before opted to just skip it trusting that the boyos would not mind. From there we walked to Piazza della Signoria, where the Republic held its headquarters and Savonarola burned Botticellis before he too went up in smoke.
We strolled passed the Uffizi Gallery which houses the most famous Caravaggios in the world. We made our way towards il Ponte Vecchio taking a rest at a hidden café on a grassy knoll by the bank of the Arno river watching the rowers glide by. We circled around passed Santa Maria Novella, which houses one of Giotto's more famous and haunting portraits of the crucifixion, so much so that we practically had avert the Boyos' eyes. Finally we ended up back at the Piazza della Repubblica for gelato, and to rub the nose of Il Porcellino (the bronze Tuscan boar) for good luck. We then made our way back slowly but pleasurably through the open market bartering for some excellent leather goods and other trinkets along the way until we arrived at our hotel to rest up and freshen up before dinner. We walked up the secluded via Bolognese to hit up Bar Lidia, a tabbachi frequented by NYU on-campus students for phone cards and milk, but they also make the most decadent paninis with all the best traditional flavors Tuscany has to offer. Their toppings act as paints on a palate for you to create your own personal masterpiece. To this day, try as we might, Lucy and I have been unable to recreate it and boy have we searched far and wide for such ingredients.
The following day we decided to take it easy so we dropped by the Mercato Centrale for some picnic supplies to bring to the Boboli Gardens right next to the Palazzo Ducale (the dukes residence). The boyos liked this plan much more, not just because of all the hanging meats and cheeses in the market for them to smell and gauk at, but also because they got to run and play in the lush open gardens, Blessu looking to chase the Italian equivalent to squirrels. There are many side trips one can do from Florence, you can visit their rival city Sienna, their sister city Pisa, or even the lesser know Lucca or San Gimignano. Lucy and I, however, decided on a quiet drive through the countryside to the Village of Chianti. It was much quieter than we expected, in fact, it was hard to even find an open shop, but those that were open were gems full of peoples' personal wine and grappa collections. Some of which were for sale while others were displayed just to lead you into temptation. Returning to Firenze we decided to spend the night in with our prized bottle of chianti and we knew exactly what we wanted to pair it with.
We ended our trip with lunch at Zaza, our favorite trattoria. As it was relatively early during the siesta period the restaurant was emptier than usual and the staff, having recognized us from the several previous dinners we had already eaten there, let us sit in the main dining room with the Boyos who were already hot and sprawled out on the cool tile floor, or at least until they realized I was having steak!
Best part: Visiting all the places dear to us and sharing them with our boys. Worst part: having no time to collect our hefty VAT refund (tax exemption) check at the airport!

VICTORVILLE - Victor Valley College students and faculty were in shock Wednesday after a student shot and killed himself Wednesday morning on the campus near the Student Activities Center, school officials confirmed.
"This is a terrible tragedy," said Bill Greulich, spokesman for the college. "Our hearts go out to the family of the student and to those who may have been in the area and witnessed this tragedy."
Authorities received several 9-1-1 calls just after 10 a.m. stating a male had just shot himself in the area near the old library and the SAC building, officials said. No one else was injured, and witnesses reported hearing only one shot.
One female student who was present when the incident took place and didn't want to be identified said he was obviously dead before school police, San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies or paramedics arrived at the scene. The unidentified male was pronounced dead at 10:17 a.m.
Soon after the shooting, the college sent out a text message to students informing them that a shooting had occurred on campus but that is wasn't an active-shooter situation, Greulich said. However, at the time the text alert went out and hours after the apparent suicide took place, there was no information on the shooting on the school's web site.
The area where the shooting took place and the SAC building were closed for an investigation.
Classes were not canceled and counselors were made available to students, Greulich said.
It wasn't clear why the student decided to take his life Wednesday afternoon, or why he chose to do it on campus.
Authorities ask anyone who feels like harming themselves or knows someone who may be suicidal to call (800) 273-8255 (TALK.)

Fire near Superior grows to 7 square miles
Fri., July 19, 2013, 10:18 a.m.
SUPERIOR, Mont. — Crews battling the West Mullan Fire have made good progress in keeping it from burning into Superior, but some structures still remain threatened on the northwestern part of the blaze.
Fire information officers say the fire, which started Sunday, had burned an estimated 4,550 acres, or just over seven square miles, by Friday morning.
Fire information officer Greg DeNitto says he thinks the residents of Superior are resting a little easier now that crews have about 6 or 7 miles of fire line along the southwestern edge of the fire, parallel to the Clark Fork River.
Work Friday will include efforts to prevent the northwestern edge of the fire from burning across Keystone Creek and getting the southeastern edge of the fire to burn fuels down to a fire line near Flat Creek.

Fine-crafted from solid woods, premium shatterproof acrylic protects the face of the art print, while an acid free dust cover on the back provides a custom finish. All framed art prints include wall hanging hardware.
Last month, I drew all over a Standard Byke Co. STA bicycle frame for the Human Powered Works show in Boston. The magic of Facebook allowed Rick Moliterno, the owner of Standard, to see the photos of the frame. It turned out that he was really into what I had done. This was hugely exciting for me because I have been a big fan of his since the 90′s (for both his riding and products). After some emails back and forth I am now the proud owner of a custom Standard frame—and I couldn't be anymore stoked. Standard is one of the few manufacturers still producing their products in the USA and I am proud to be riding one of their frames.

On then to our prize winners for this month, two of whom are also first-time entrants. Coming in a close but equal second is this fantastic ultra-close-up shot of a smaller specimen of urban wildlife from Csaba Meszaros of Leamington Spa, UK. Unfortunately I have no idea what sort of camera was used to take this, but it is clearly one with a very good macro facility. This is one of the best macro shots I've ever seen, and wins Csaba a 1GB PNY CompactFlash card and £25 Photobox voucher.
When I decided on the theme of Urban Wildlife, I was expecting to see quite a few photos of foxes, but in fact we received only one. Fortunately it is a really good one, and wins a 1GB PNY CompactFlash card and a £25 Photobox voucher for another first-time entrant, Michelle White of Fremont, Ohio. Michelle used her Olympus E-500 with a 50-200mm lens, and an exposure of f/3.5 and 1/80th of a second. The photo was shot at a wildlife rescue centre, where the fox had been taken after being saved from criminals trying to sell it as a pet. Sometimes I hate humans.
Our final photo, and winner of our first prize, is not only a fantastic photograph, but it is also totally appropriate. Way back in June last year our very first prize winner was Chris Mole of West Sussex, UK. He has entered a terrific photo for nearly every month's competition since then, and has been a runner-up many times. Although his past entries had no effect on this result, it's with very great pleasure that I name Chris as the winner of this month's competition, with this beautiful shot of two peacocks which appeared on the roof of his neighbour's house. Chris wins a £50 Photobox voucher, a 2GB PNY CompactFlash card, and of course the top prize of a Fujifilm FinePix S9600 camera.
Congratulations then to Chris, Rolfe and Csaba, and many thanks to all our runners-up, and also to everyone else who has entered, both this month and over the previous eleven months. Special thanks as well to our prize sponsors PNY, Photobox and Fujifilm, wthout whom this would not have been possible. It's been a lot of fun, and I hope you've enjoyed it too.
In fact it's been so much fun we're going to do it again, with a new look, some new prizes and a whole load of new themes to test your photographic skill and ingenuity. Keep visiting TrustedReviews for more news, but keep your camera handy, because it will be very soon!

Commissioner Junior Hendrickson said he learned several things from the workshop. "We can manage the weeds but we can't eradicate them," he said. Hendrickson wondered why TVA could come up with a billion dollars to remediate the ash spill but does not have money to address the weed problem.
He said he would be in favor of forming a committee to address the problem.
"We have to do something," he said.

As luck would have it, a small business owner in the complex I work, liked romney, so I sent him over some information, so I could cut and paste some of it here :) This covers a bit more than just the economy and gdp though :)
My argument to him was that the US actually behaves much more like a zero sum game at the country level. While at the individual level, it's possible to exceed in life by working harder (much harder these days), but at the country level, it's a zero sum game. He wanted lower taxes and basically trickle down, less hand outs at the lower levels, more incentives to try and do better. I said the game was rigged, that not everyone could live like bill gates. There are tiers in our system and moving between them is almost impossible, but the dream of moving up, makes people ignore this. It's almost impossible for someone to move down. Family, education, childhood expectations ensure that people get chance after chance of maintaining their tier, while those trying to move up, have to essentially ace ever move while growing up. They need to get a better education, have higher expectations in life, they need to make connections, they need to move to an area that will help them. Eg out of the ghetto and at least rent somewhere with middle class people. It's very rigged against anyone moving up. I could write a book on that part I think :)
Anyway, Gdp information, it used to go back further, and when it did it was a much smoother line. But I would say that line is pretty smooth as it is.
http://www.google.com/ publicdata/explore?ds= d5bncppjof8f9_&ctype=l&met_y= ny_gdp_mktp_cd#!ctype=l& strail=false&bcs=d&nselm=h& met_y=ny_gdp_mktp_cd&scale_y= lin&ind_y=false&rdim=region& idim=country:USA&ifdim=region& hl=en_US&dl=en_US&ind=false
Here is a great video from Elizabeth warren, it gives no answers, blames no one, it's only about how the middle class has changed and become more stressed. It's long I know, but it has some pretty good data that she has collected. You could find corner cases or pull out your own theories from it, but it's really about the gist of what happened between the 1970's and 2010's on our income and where we spend it.
Spoiler alert :) The end result is this: In the 1970's there was more discretionary spending, 1 income. If someone got sick, you could put your wife out to work and you could stop spending, you could slow the bleeding until that person got better. Today, if someone gets sick there is no one else to go out and work (both parents working). The money is spent on items that aren't discretionary any more and thus there are fewer places to cut back. It goes into each category of spending in our lives and shows how it's either grown or shrunk and how it's impacted our lives. Eg housing, insurance, cars vs food, clothing, electronics, entertainment
http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=akVL7QY0S8A
Also take into account that our productivity has been running 2.3-2.4% over the last 70 years. When you compound that, over just 30 years, you get a 100% increase! (100% in 1980-> 205% in 2010 @ 2.4%). That means the work your father did in 1980 is HALF of what you do today. We don't just get better at our jobs, we get better through out our lives. We maximize everything we do! We don't use computers, cell phones, gps units only at work to make us more productive, we use them all the time now. The way we drive, the way to avoid lines at the super market, everything we do gets a little more productive in our lives.
This is why Warren Buffet said that if we can grow at 1% a year for the next 100 years, it will be absolutely amazing to him. And why people want to ignore him, 1% is a "terrible" return! And if you think about it, in 30 years when your kids are working, they're going to be doing 100% MORE work than you're doing in a day.
This is what I meant about stressing out the middle class and it's not necessary. These improvements in our economy come at a horrendous toll to the population in general. Since the general population is stuck in it's tier, we're just making the lives of the bottom rung worse and worse. As the rich extract more money per year, they're actually taking it out of the pockets of the poor. The rich get richer, and the poor MUST get poorer. The system works best when the rich are "stopped" from getting too much of this pie. Basically higher taxes on the rich, ensure that more money gets dumped into the poor. The poor need all these social programs now, because they're getting squeezed beyond what they can handle.
Now onto the economy has recovered remark I made. If you look at the GDP today, it's at the highest it's ever been. Essentially, the pie has grown in size, at a rate that has historically been exactly where it says it should be and the jobs are gone. That is why some economists say it's a jobless recovery. I also remember back in 2003-2005 range, some economist being alarmed that the gdp had "moved" due to the housing bubble. I never understood what they meant, because I always assumed the economy would move when things got better... but that remark makes a lot of sense if you look at the historical numbers. Nothing has moved the gdp in the past, so this was an unheard of event. I think if you look at the GDP graph, and "corrected" the line from 2000-2008, and then extended it to today, you would find we are almost exactly where we should be. If you take that "extra cash" made during those years, I think you would find it back fills nicely into the whole the recession left as well. Essentially we were minting money we couldn't make and during the recovery, we basically had to pay it back.
I would also like to say that at 5% unemployment, the US is fully employed. At that point, if you don't have a job, you're in between jobs, or don't want to work. At 5% it's pretty difficult to find good people. Instead of saying we're at 8% unemployed, I would say we're closer to 3% unemployed and 97% employed.
Even though those people aren't working, they are still spending. The government helps them out, and they still put money back into the economy. Since most people in the lower income brackets don't save, they're basically doing exactly what they did when they were employed. Spending everything on necessities. Food, car, housing. Maybe they had a few hundred extra dollars to spend a month, but at the end of the day, a few hundred dollars * 3% unemployed doesn't add up to much.
At some point, the people will slowly get jobs, and then be cut off from the government. The economy won't notice it because we're in a zero sum game though.
So I say the economy has recovered, the jobs are gone, at least for now.

NEWS ITEM: Yuri Foreman, a Russian-born, Brooklyn-based Israeli who is studying to be a rabbi, won the World Boxing Association's super welterweight title in a Las Vegas bout.
A rabbi trained to punch and maim?
Whose goal is pugilistic fame?
A boxer who excels in sports?
Who runs around the ring in shorts?
In manly art he really rates,
This new-crowned king of welterweights.
While fighting hard and keeping fit,
He studies for the rabbinate.
In such pursuits he stands alone
And surely sets a novel tone.
So curious a blend is he
Of fitness and theology.
Rabbinic bent and strong physique
Combine to make the guy unique.
No pallor mars his countenance
As he assumes a fighting stance.
On speed and brawn he concentrates,
Unsparing of his sparring-mates.
He slam-bangs the opponent's gut,
Then nails him with an uppercut.
He pulls no punches in his quest
To be, in brawls, the very best.
Two symbols summarize his love:
The prayer book and boxing glove.
When as a rabbi he's ordained,

And call upon the Deity
To be the final referee.
