That's the question security reporters are asking after the recent release of the spy agency's web traffic from 2009 to 2015. The numbers (it's not clear if they reflect page views or uniques) show that traffic tends to peak in the spring, fall off in the summer, and rise again in the winter months. Muckrock, which obtained the data, speculates that the increase may be due to graduating college seniors hunting for jobs. Interestingly, the agency's traffic has gone downhill after peaking in 2012, even in the wake of the Edward Snowden revelations in 2013, which stimulated interest in the NSA and CIA.
Why does traffic to the CIA's homepage peak in the spring?
Twitter picks e-sports king to lead its live business

UNHCR and Google partner on website to educate the public about Syria
Today the U.N. Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in partnership with Google announced Searching for Syria, a new website that combines Google Search trends, UNHCR data and stories, and other information to answer common questions about the Syrian refugee crisis. Questions tackle everything from what Syria was like before the war, to where refugees are going and how you can help.
Jacqueline Fuller, vice president of Google.org says that among the top searches in Germany, France, and the U.K. last year was "What is happening in Syria?" The hope is that the website will help raise awareness about the current crisis and inform the public about what is happening and how they can help going forward. EP
Tesla's Elon Musk says new autopilot software is coming in June
On Sunday evening, Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter to discuss Tesla's new autopilot software, set to be released next month. According to Musk, the control algorithm in the new release is safer, but also feels "smooth as silk." June's update will also "hopefully" add perpendicular parking and rain sensors, according to his tweets.

Twitter's Jack Dorsey says he's "kicked around" the idea of a premium subscription service
Speaking at Twitter's annual shareholder meeting in San Francisco on Monday, Dorsey said the company has considered a membership model. Here's his quote in full:
"Yeah, so this has been kicked around for quite some time. We do believe that there is a real importance that Twitter is accessible to everyone in the world no matter what their economic stature is and where they are in life, so the general case has been to make Twitter free and open. We're always talking with our customers around what could be and what they'd like to see, and this is an idea that has come up. We don't have any particular plans to announce today but we're always looking at those patterns, that feedback and understanding if it's the right thing to do for the greater Twitter audience." MB
Cargo pilots plan to protest outside Amazon's annual shareholder meeting tomorrow
As Amazon ramps up its own logistics operations—which means the e-commerce giant is purchasing and leasing an increasing number of cargo aircrafts and crews—the pilots are seeing operational risks on the horizon. The companies Amazon contracts with—Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (AAWW) and Air Transport Services Group (ATSG)—are seeing higher rates of attrition due to short staffing and alleged contract violations, claim the pilots. They hope their presence outside Amazon's annual meeting tomorrow will send a message to shareholders and pressure Bezos and his company to exert some influence on these cargo providers. CGW
Robocops are now patrolling the streets of Dubai
Last year, Dubai announced that they wanted to modernize their police force. They weren't talking about new body armor, innovative handcuffs, or body cams, though, but a robot police force, which they hoped to have on the streets by 2020. Dubai beat their schedule, though, and the first robocop is on duty at the three-day Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference (GISEC). It is expected to be patrolling the streets by Wednesday, according to CNN.
The Dubai Police Robot looks a lot more like a human than Silicon Valley's egg-shaped version (and hopefully it would fare better in a fight, too). In its current iteration, people can report crimes to the robot via a touchscreen on its chest, pay traffic fines, and submit paperwork, The Telegraph reports. The cop can also tip off its human coworkers to start investigations. As soon as they update its operating system, make sure its facial recognition technology is higher than its current 80% accuracy, and are confident it won't pull a Skynet, Dubai Police hope the metallic cop can start doing the hard work of chasing down suspects in the Dubai heat and making arrests.
Dubai isn't stopping there, though. To continue their reputation for being the model of a modern city, they hope to make a quarter of their police force require battery charging and system updates by 2030, according to CNN. "We are looking to make everything smart in Dubai Police," Brigadier Khlaid Nasser Al Razouqi told Gulf News in March. "By 2030, we will have the first smart police station which won't require human employees." It makes sense, because robot cops will have an easier time keeping an eye on those flying taxis.
Meet Ford's new smart mobility chief: Marcy Klevorn
As James Hackett steps up as Ford's new CEO, Marcy Klevorn will fill his former duties as head of the automaker's smart mobility unit. Klevorn has been at Ford since 1983 and rose to become the company's first female chief information officer in 2015. Her career at Ford has been based almost entirely within the IT department, where she's helped transform and manage Ford's manufacturing systems and led a campaign to digitally enable Ford's workforce, according to the Wall Street Journal. In addition to updating Ford's workplace for the digital era, she's also known for her ability to extract cost savings out of operations—something Ford is keen to apply to other departments, no doubt. From 2006-2011, IT costs dropped 30% when Klevorn served as global head of IT operations. At the top of Ford's mobility unit, Klevorn will be charged with managing the development of autonomous technology and figuring out how Ford can financially optimize such a system.

Mark Zuckerberg wants you to know he is really, really not running for office
The Facebook CEO has been touring the nation on a months-long "listening tour," which some have seen as a precursor to a political campaign. On Sunday, Zuckerberg set the record straight in a lengthy Facebook post. Here's the highlight:
Some of you have asked if this challenge means I'm running for public office. I'm not. I'm doing it to get a broader perspective to make sure we're best serving our community of almost 2 billion people at Facebook and doing the best work to promote equal opportunity at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
Got that? Of course, that only means that he is not running for office right now. It certainly doesn't preclude the possibility of a future Senator Zuckerberg, especially after all the uproar over Facebook's internal guidelines for content moderators on how to deal with posts involving sex, violence, and terrorism dies down. Zuck's well-timed statement could assuage investors' fears and keep those stock prices high, which is probably the best way to ensure that the Chan Zuckerberg initiative is well-funded for the future.

CVS wants to save your skin this summer, one low SPF sunblock at a time
Along with Baz Luhrmann and the Chicago Tribune's graduation speech writer Mary Schmich, the drug store chain is joining the fight to encourage the youth of today to wear sunscreen.
The pharmacy has introduced a "Long Live Skin" campaign, in partnership with Johnson & Johnson and the American Cancer Society, and one of its biggest moves will be to clear its shelves of any sun care products with an SPF lower than 15, saving their shelf space for products with higher SPF and helping shoppers make healthier choices. As Glamour notes, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a product with an SPF of 30+, while the FDA recommendation is a minimum of 15 SPF. Your future self—and Baz Luhrmann—will thank you.

"The future is not a fantasy," says Ford's new CEO Jim Hackett, in his first comments since taking over
Artificial intelligence, 3D printing, robotics—"We need to have a point of view on all these things," said Ford executive chairman Bill Ford in a press conference this morning to introduce new CEO Jim Hackett, who abruptly replaced Mark Fields at the company. During Fields' tenure at the top, Ford has been criticized for not moving that far beyond its core auto business. Likewise, its stock has dropped 37% over the last three years. Though Ford has invested substantially in autonomous car technology—most recently through a deal with Argo AI—the company has been quiet about how it plans to monetize its boldest bets.
"The future is not a fantasy," said Hackett, who led Ford's Smart Mobility unit, adding that the company is working on a vision for the future concerning, "where we're going to play and how we're going to win." Both Ford and Hackett want to scrap some of the hierarchies embedded in the business in order to make decisions faster. It's uncertain what that will look like and whether Ford may need to cut some of its workforce in order to flatten its ranks. Since making the announcement this morning, Ford's stock is up 1.4% RR
MIT gets into the athletic wear business with new breathable fabric made with live cells
Step aside, Nike and Lululemon. In what sounds like the worst Project Runway challenge ever, a team of MIT researchers has created a new workout suit that incorporates live microbial cells. The cells sense when an athlete is hot and sweaty or cooling down and then shrink or expand to open or close ventilating flaps on the fabric, helping the athlete warm up or cool off as necessary. They've also fashioned a running shoe lined with cells that can help wick away moisture. Details of both designs are published today in your favorite nerd's favorite bathtub reading material, Science Advances.
The researchers have more ideas of how to incorporate microbes into fashion, too, including swapping florescent microbes for reflective strips as well as what they call "odor-releasing functionalities." Male rompers can't be far behind.

Portland just got the most Portland parking app ever
The population and tourist appeal of Portland, Oregon has exploded in the last few years (thanks, Portlandia) and the city's infrastructure is racing to catch up. To help meet the increasing demand for parking, the city has just launched a new app that lets you pay for parking by phone. While the Portland Mercury notes that the app offers the same service as ones used in Chicago and other big cities, Portland's has a unique twist—it's cat themed, because of course it is. The only way it could be more Portland is if it yarn-bombed the parking meter while yelling at you for driving a car. The pretty pink app is not only bedazzled with adorable little kittens, but it will meow to remind you when the session is about to expire. The app only works with parking meters, so you're still on your own for trying to get a spot near Salt & Straw or Pip's Original.

"Obamacare": A History of the Most Effective Scareword in PoliticsNews at Home
Robert Brent Toplin, Professor of History (retired), University of North Carolina, Wilmington, has published several books on history, politics, and film, and he operates a website, www.politicsoftheusa.com. His film-related books include "Reel History: In Defense of Hollywood," "History By Hollywood," and "Oliver Stone's USA: Film, History, and Controversy."
When Republican candidates for president confronted each other in several televised debates in late 2011 and early 2012, they frequently criticized "Obamacare." Those candidates did not say much in detail about the Affordable Care Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 2010. Brief mention of Obamacare served adequately to communicate their disgust withthe Democrats' plan for health reform.
Sometimes those GOP candidates attacked one of their own, speaking contemptuously about "Romneycare." That single term implied sharp criticism of the mandated health insurance program that Mitt Romney established when he was governor of Massachusetts.
Why do Republicans favor this personalized, shorthand approach to attacking health care reform? Why do they often connect Obama's name in their references to health care legislation?
Look back to the Bill Clinton's first presidential term for the origins of this political strategy. Republicans used the technique then to block the Clinton administration's plans for health insurance reform.
One of the most effective Republican branding strategies was to attach the name of the president or his wife in references to the administration's proposals. Republicans spoke often about "Hillarycare" and "Clintoncare."
A poll conducted by the Wall Street Journal revealed that more than 70 percent of respondents supported the Clintons' reform bill when they read a description of its principal contents, but when they studied those same details under the heading "Clinton Health Plan," support dropped between 30% and 40%. Attaching Bill or Hillary Clinton's name led respondents to think about their feelings toward the president and his wife rather than to specific benefits offered through the plan. For instance, some Americans didn't like President Clinton's efforts to protect gays in the military. Others disapproved of Hillary Clinton; they considered her a strong-minded feminist.
This strategy of personalizing references to the legislation as well as other techniques of opposition worked. Democratic legislators sensed defeat was coming by the summer of 1994, and a few months later, major Republican gains in the congressional elections delivered a coup de grace for health insurance reform. There were many causes of the administration's defeat, but one of the most important factors involved the clever use of language. Talk of Hillarycare and Clintoncare damaged the program's appeal.
GOP leaders learned from that experience. After Democrats succeeded in passing moderate reforms in 2010, Republicans continued to stir voter resistance to that legislation with frequent references to Obamacare. By featuring Obama's name prominently, Republicans hint that a power-hungry president is overreaching his authority by forcing an unpopular program on the American people.
The hint is misdirected. President Obama tried to avoid Bill Clinton's difficulties when he promoted health care reform (Clinton's major initiatives came out of the White House, creating a sense among Democratic congressmen that they had been left out of the decision-making process). President Obama tried a different tact. He identified some broad reform goals in speeches but left specific details in the bill to legislators in Congress. While it is true that Obama claimed some ownership in an address to Congress that aimed to rescue the reform from the jaws of defeat, the Affordable Care Act was essentially an achievement of legislators in Washington. It was a form of "Congresscare" or, more specifically, "Democratic Congresscare."
No matter. The public hears little about these distinctions. Instead, Americans hear Republican politicians and media pundits speak critically of Obamacare. The term is one of the most effective scare-words in contemporary politics.

Dennis Burton Sent me a cashiers check for 1680.00. It was so embarrassing at the bank. New York New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I responded to an ad for a Mystery Shopper online. I was sent an email from Mr. Burton asking for some info about myself, such as my address, age, nationality, etc. I emailed it back to him. He then sent another email giving me instructions and explaining the position, which is a customer support rep for RGP. I had forgotten about it, then on July 5, 2013, I received an envelope and an email. The envelope contained a letter and a cashiers check for 1680 dollars made out to me. I was instsructed to cash it at my bank and then send 1450 to someone in Manila and keep the 200 for myself as payment for the assignment. I could not cash this check anywhere , so I called the bank it was drawn on which is Liberty Bank, Richland Hills, TX and they said there had been a string of false cashiers checks from their bank. Anyway, I sent Dennis Burton another email and told him I was having trouble cashing the check, what should I do. He responded that the money was in the account and to deposit it in my acccount in the morning.(July 6, 2013). The check would clear and I could withdraw the funds and complete the assignment. This is very frustrating. Isn't there any honesty anymore. Please help us victims.

Beware Khoalty
Just want to warn any others that might consider them the customer service does not even rate terrible, it's non existent. I ordered a set of their piano black grilles for my e46; shipped timley, looked great but upon install one side of the 2 piece grille would not stay attached properly leaving a gap between the grille and hood.
I sent my first notice to them requesting help in 12/1. Met all their requests for photos and ensuring I installed per instructions which I had. Then the communication started getting less and less.
On 12/11 I sent the email copied beliow and now nearly 3 days later they have not responded in any form. I strongly encourage you to seek another vendor and avoid these guys at all costs
I continue to try and resolve my issue amicably and I dont believe I have asked for anything unreasonable. With regard to the drivers side piano black grille I received from you I have only ever asked for a replacement after ensuring I had tried all the steps you suggested to resolve fitment issue; which has all be done and as you know I even sent pictures on two occasions illustrating the poor fitment due to the 2 pieces separating.
That all laid out I ask again will you please send me a replacement for the drivers side. I am happy to return the defective pieces in your box if you send me a return label."
We were unable to see any issues from the photos you sent us, if you are able to take a picture of the problem, where the fitment is incorrect, please send them our way.

To those who got the day off on Australia Day, I am pretty sure you are either like me, stoning in front of your office laptop or still on holiday.
Anyways, I have been busily snapping photos of food we have been eating in Melbourne and hopefully soon enough I can actually download them onto my computer and start blogging about them.
Meanwhile, one more stop in Sydney.
We arrived in Sydney mid afternoon and with a couple of hours to burn before our host finished work, the Wife suggested we go to the Sydney Fish Market.
With 30 minutes before it closed, we walked in and my eyes opened wide. The amount of fresh seafood available and the cheaper prices is a far cry to what we use to get in Brisbane. For example a coral trout in an upmarket supermarket will cost you in the region of AUD50 a kg and most places charging you between AUD30-35 a kg. Guess what, its only AUD27 a kg in Sydney!
Despite dinner being 2-3 hours away, I couldn't resist and we ordered a couple of items to snack on.
Abalone sashimi, thats a first for us. It was sweet and crunchy, very nice to eat texturally but got a bit boring after a few bites.
Somehow the oysters didn't taste all that fresh or either that it wasn't exactly the top grade ones that we got. Either way its been a while since we had some so we were happily popping them in our mouth with a squeeze of lemon.
The yabbies were awesome though. Similar to the ama ebi you get in Japanese cuisine, the meat was so sweet and juicy. The problem is one prawn doesn't really have that much meat but weighs a lot since you pay by the gram. A prawn probably cost me AUD 5.
Overall I am happy to have finally visited an "icon" in Sydney and although we must have picked up some seafood that was probably lying around for a couple of hours, it was still pretty good.
The best part? Our friend said you can get even cheaper seafood elsewhere in Sydney!
Fingers crossed, let me find good seafood in Melbourne!

Re: Applying StyleForm to String plus Table?
Your first example is the closest to something that will work for you, but
instead of using StringJoin (i.e., what <> does), you want to use
SequenceForm. So, let's plug in a few values for your dummy values and see
some working code.
SequenceForm["Title text\n", TableForm[Table[i j, {i, 5}, {j, 5}]]],

OK you guys, I can't see the original post but I gotta weigh in here. If men can read maps so well why do they always get lost and refuse to ask for directions? I have to carry a map (which I have NO problem reading) to keep John heading in the right direction.
Don't count me in with the others, I was simply pointing out that the bees in the photo are workers, hence the name change. I make no judgment about map reading between the sexes.

Didn't get to ware this at Ame due to being rather ill, but finally got a few pics taken. I'm not totally happy with it and it needs a few little touch ups here and there. I'll try and get a full body shot of this up at some point. =)
Oh I can't wait to see this! I bet its gonna be awesome! :D I'd like to make an Ion cosplay at some point >> When I have time and money, lol. Can't wait to see your Radu though! Many photos when done, please! ^^
Oh god *_* If you ever do and it's the Arabian/turban version and you need a Radu, please let me know. (Is looking for an excuse to do that one cosplay too *coughs*)
Radu is made of Win!

Gosh I love Radu, looking absolutely stunning there.
I really like your makeup choices for him too.
@ Uni: Radu is wonderful and so tragic.
I shall be at Minami for sure (pre-reg'ed) and I only have one costume that I might do for then so brining this one along wouldn't be a problem. ^_^ Plus an Ion might actually make him smile, if only bitterly. XDDD

14. Mother And Son
OMSK is the official capital of Western Siberia. It is not the most important city of
the government of that name, for Tomsk has more inhabitants and is larger. But it
is at Omsk that the Governor-General of this the first half of Asiatic Russia
resides. Omsk, properly so called, is composed of two distinct towns: one which
is exclusively inhabited by the authorities and officials; the other more especially
devoted to the Siberian merchants, although, indeed, the trade of the town is of
small importance.
This city has about 12,000 to 13,000 inhabitants. It is defended by walls, but
these are merely of earth, and could afford only insufficient protection. The
Tartars, who were well aware of this fact, consequently tried at this period to
carry it by main force, and in this they succeeded, after an investment of a few
The garrison of Omsk, reduced to two thousand men, resisted valiantly. But
driven back, little by little, from the mercantile portion of the place, they were
compelled to take refuge in the upper town.
It was there that the Governor-General, his officers, and soldiers had entrenched
themselves. They had made the upper quarter of Omsk a kind of citadel, and
hitherto they held out well in this species of improvised "kreml," but without much
hope of the promised succor. The Tartar troops, who were descending the Irtych,
received every day fresh reinforcements, and, what was more serious, they were
led by an officer, a traitor to his country, but a man of much note, and of an
audacity equal to any emergency. This man was Colonel Ivan Ogareff.
Ivan Ogareff, terrible as any of the most savage Tartar chieftains, was an
educated soldier. Possessing on his mother's side some Mongolian blood, he
delighted in deceptive strategy and ambuscades, stopping short of nothing when
he desired to fathom some secret or to set some trap. Deceitful by nature, he
willingly had recourse to the vilest trickery; lying when occasion demanded,
excelling in the adoption of all disguises and in every species of deception.
Further, he was cruel, and had even acted as an executioner. Feofar-Khan
possessed in him a lieutenant well capable of seconding his designs in this
savage war.
When Michael Strogoff arrived on the banks of the Irtych, Ivan Ogareff was
already master of Omsk, and was pressing the siege of the upper quarter of the
town all the more eagerly because he must hasten to Tomsk, where the main
body of the Tartar army was concentrated.
Tomsk, in fact, had been taken by Feofar-Khan some days previously, and it was
thence that the invaders, masters of Central Siberia, were to march upon Irkutsk.
Irkutsk was the real object of Ivan Ogareff. The plan of the traitor was to reach
the Grand Duke under a false name, to gain his confidence, and to deliver into
Tartar hands the town and the Grand Duke himself. With such a town, and such
a hostage, all Asiatic Siberia must necessarily fall into the hands of the invaders.
Now it was known that the Czar was acquainted with this conspiracy, and that it
was for the purpose of baffling it that a courier had been intrusted with the

News: Centegra Sage Cancer Center Cares for Mind, Body and Spirit Through Pastoral Care Services
The Centegra Sage Cancer Center offers care to the mind, body and spirit of those living with cancer through an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals. As part of the team, Marianna Wolfmeyer serves as the oncology chaplain offering spiritual and emotional care and support to patients and their families throughout their cancer experience. According to Wolfmeyer, "Spiritual care is an essential part of the oncology continuum of care because it acknowledges the need for purpose and making meaning through connection with self, others, the world and the divine during a time of significant change and loss. It provides a safe and supportive environment in which many questions of life and death can be explored. Having a chaplain brings presence and understanding to an individual's unique experience as expressed in spiritual and religious values and beliefs."
Marianna's background and experience in pastoral care and oncology allows her to accompany those living with cancer from diagnosis through end of life. As part of each patient's treatment, Marianna performs a spiritual assessment to discover what nurtures each individual's unique spirit. After the assessment, it becomes even more clear as to what type of spiritual care is needed and Marianna can then put her care plan into action based on what each person holds spiritually meaningful.
Recently, Marianna held a ritual of remembrance and celebration in the Cheri Amore Garden of Hope, the healing garden outside the cancer center, in memory of two very special men who received radiation treatment at the Centegra Sage Cancer Center. Having met during treatment, the men and their wives often spoke of the cancer experience while attempting to ease its burden in the tranquility and comfort of the garden. In their time together they discovered that the men shared the same birthday. A plan was made for the four to meet in the garden a year after treatment to celebrate the common birthday. Sadly, less than a year later, cancer claimed the lives of the men, and one of their wives died unexpectedly. In offering continuing care and grief support to the lone survivor, Marianna made sure the importance and symbolism of the garden reunion was recognized during a memory celebration. Rituals, including poetry and prayer, as well as music, were shared by the families, friends and staff on that special summer day, as the everlasting connection of love and spirit even beyond death was affirmed."
Managing more practical matters can also provide important spiritual benefits for those living with cancer. During treatment each person is offered the opportunity to complete advance directives, at no cost, to ensure that his/her particular wishes about medical care are understood and documented in the appropriate legal form. Various spiritual aids including Care Notes, sacred literature and faith related symbols are also used for comfort and nurture.
Marianna is a certified thanatologist specializing in death, dying and bereavement. Grief support and education is provided through individual counseling and the Living With Grief support group program. She assists people planning for end of life and offers bedside care and support for the dying. She plans and officiates various rituals including funerals and memorial events. She is available to cancer patients, families, caretakers, friends and staff for care throughout the Centegra Health System.
The Centegra Sage Cancer Center offers cancer patients quality treatment and a multidisciplinary staff of healthcare professionals. The newly renovated and expanded facility provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art cancer treatment and a full range of oncology outpatient services in one convenient location. The radiation oncology department of the center uses a new top-of-the-line linear accelerator with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy capabilities, a new GE CTscanner to capture views for treatment plans, as well as High Dose Rate Brachytherapy treatments. The Centegra Sage Cancer Center is located on the Centegra Northern Illinois Medical Center campus in McHenry and is an approved cancer program by the Commission on Cancer.

Well Apple, thanks for making my 6 month old 'New' iPad kinda...redundant.
Also, I knew calling the iPad introduced in March the new iPad was a bad idea. It kinda threw a spanner in the works of naming the product line up :P

Does the fusion drive means they will stop offering both an SSD and a HDD as they used to do?
I think, I remember they had something like a 256GB SSD + a 3TB HDD.
Also the 2GB GTX680M made my day :)
might sound thick asking this! is a ipad like a laptop! an does the ipad just run off a wifi connection with no charge using internet, FB ect ect. i know about apps.
Although I think it's good to have a laptop to transfer movies and music to the iPad.
I have a 3 and I will be keeping it. I just need it to do what I need, rather than worrying about specs, and it still does that. The only issue will be down the road if they put new features on the iPad 3.5 and decide not to put them on the 3. At that point, I will probably update to whatever iPad is newest (assuming there isn't another tablet available that I feel will better suit my needs).
The way I use the iPad, I am really at the law of diminishing returns. I had the Original and wanted Retina and LTE (in the USA), which I got with the 3. If I played games on it, I would probably be selling my New iPad at this point, but I don't, so I don't really need the extra power.
I have no interest in the mini, but I can see where it would creep into some of the Touch sales. Many got the Touch because they wanted something similar to an iPhone without a contract. I am sure some of those people will want something pocketable, but for those that just wanted the cheapest iOS, I would not be surprised to see them pay a bit more for the mini. I have always like the Touch as an alternative to the iPhone, but the mini probably fits that better if you are mainly using it around the house.
The actual 4th gen ipad is making me think hard into getting one! It's extremely powerful.
Fingers crossed, i should have my iPhone today, assuming they're in stock. On the phone now
edit: took 20 minutes for them to answer! I got to reserve one online and hope i'm 'lucky' enough to be selected to pick up a handset. Wow.
ffs I have to block the apple.com site from me. I keep looking and I want a mbp so freakin badly!!! I just keep killing myself thinking about the price and specs. :(
Someone help me figure this out. PLEASE!! My current laptop was only $1250 and the specs....
Here's the difference:
17" screen vs 15.4"
1920 x 180 vs 1680 x 1050 (this I can actually be fine with.. just the principle of it I guess)
1TB hdd vs 500GB hdd
GTX660M vs GT650M
8GB RAM vs 4GB RAM
$1250 vs $1899
If I upgrade some of the components that can match what I have now, it'll just increase the price! :(
@Tut and MjW, how long after ordering online did you receive your handset, was it actually 4 weeks?
@F34R, That's the trade off your going to have to live with, depends what your going to use it for really. If your going to use it for specific reasons where a Mac often beats Windows it'll be worth it. If your going to want it just for browsing the internet and maybe a few games, it won't be worth it. At all.
I'm still dying to get my hands on Logic as well as i find Serato SL works better with the Mac operating system and even then i'm still struggling to justify to myself why I need one, even though my needs fit it.
I don't know about ordering from apple. I pre-ordered mine from the carrier, and got it on launch day.
sooooo i dont know whether i was extremely lucky or what but i put in my first iPhone 5 reservation today and have just received an email telling me my iPhone is waiting for pickup tomorrow.....
I'd buy a mbp, 4th gen ipad, and an iMac in a single day. lol
The apple gods have come to the decision that I am lucky enough to have reserved my iPhone 32GB at last. Hurrah!!
BBK. Tapatalking
I thought I asked but it seems I didn't.
In the past Apple offered both a HDD and an SSD in iMacs. It did work in the same manner as their Fusion drive right?
Now they just offer a hybrid drive that does the same thing?

A Pee-brained Idea: Scientists Make Brain Cells from Urine
Scientists have made brain cells from human pee.
When a person urinates, skin shells are routinely shed from the lining in the kidney, and it's these cells that the researchers reprogrammed into stem cells, which can turn into any type of cell in the body. In this case, they transformed the cells into neurons, or brain cells. The new research, published Sunday in the journal Nature Methods, could one day provide a quicker way to make brain cells that are unique to an individual, Nature News reported.
And because the technique relies on urine, which is much easier to get than blood, it could be easier to extract such cells from almost any patient, including children, Marc Lalande, a researcher at the University of Connecticut Health Center told Nature News.
"It's easier to get a child to give a urine sample than to prick them for blood," Lalande said.
For years, scientists have been working on ways to turn ordinary cells into stem cells. Researchers have reprogrammed testicle stem cells to make insulin, turned brain cells from cadavers into stem cells and converted human skin into brain cells. The hope was that these brain cells could be used to treat diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
But many early methods used viruses to permanently incorporate new genes into the DNA of the cells, wrote Kristen Brennand, a stem cell researcher at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, who was not involved in the study, in an email.
Because the viral DNA stays inside the cells' genetic code permanently, it can make the cells' behavior unpredictable and even cause tumors.
In the current study, a Chinese research team used a newer, safer approach. The team harvested skin cells that line the kidneys and are routinely shed in human urine. Next, the scientists injected new genetic instructions to reprogram cells to become brain cells. But unlike the viral method, those instructions only stick around temporarily, Brennand told LiveScience.
"Holes are made in the cell membrane so DNA can enter, but because the DNA doesn't integrate into the genome, but just sits in the cyplasm, it exists transiently," Brennand wrote.

It can take up to four-six months for you to hear back from a producer. Be patient. It is difficult to wait for a response, but during this time you should be working on your next script. If another producer wants to read your script at the same time, you should inform him/her that 'so and so' is also having a read of it. Perhaps drop a line to that original producer letting them know that a copy of your script has also been requested by another producer. Some say you should not submit your script to various companies at the same time, which is difficult because that would cut down your chances to be produced.
Before submitting to another producer I have always called my 'first' one to ask if this is permissible. If they say no, then that is fine, but it is the communication that matters. No producer wants to be kept in the dark. Sometimes the two producers might even know each other and strike up a conversation about this 'great' script they received and then come to find out it is the exact same script!
Make sure that your script is properly formatted, no frilly ribbons, or colored paper. It is exciting to finish a script and in your giddiness you want to send it out as soon as possible. But do not forget that the film industry is a serious business. You as a writer are your own business and therefore you must always double and triple check your work before you send it out. The producer is all about making money and that means you have got to be serious about your ideas and show your commitment to your cause. Of course, it is an imaginative business too.
We have all witnessed the effects of a well written story; however, learn to contain your excitement when speaking to a producer. I do not mean be morose or so aloof that folks will turn their back on you. But if you are fawning over and spitting on him/her because you just can not contain yourself during this golden opportunity, then you will end up being dismissed. Producers can do this in the blink of an eye because they have had to learn how to read people, and how to know when someone is talking out of their backside.
Some things to remember when face to face with a producer:
Persephone Vandegrift is an award-winning screenwriter, playwright, producer, and fiction writer. She is the co-writer and producer of MYTHFEST – A one-act play dedicated to women in classical mythology now on the Fringe festival circuit. She is the writer of the multi award-winning screenplay, Death Of A Mortal Woman, and WW2 TV pilot, Esther's Den.

Larger tires on 20s, fitting in spare holder, and tire recommendations
Parts of this have been discussed, but I'm looking to get a little better understanding before pulling the trigger.
I just bought a '13 Overland with QD, QL and 20s. I want to upgrade to better tires primarily, and decided to use this opportunity to also slightly upgrade the tire size as well.
Looks like 275/55/20 is the way to go and should clear the driving aspect without any problems. Has anyone had an issue with this size tire and QL? And are there any other larger 20s that work?
When it comes to having a spare... What are you doing? It looks like the clearances in the trunk for the spare wheel is very tight. I don't think a larger diameter or width would work. I imagine the QD is sensitive to such variations in tire size and wouldn't work with a stock size tire in case of a flat. Carrying a fix a flat and compressor isn't a bad thought but what about a total blow out? It would be ideal if these just fit. Anyone have pics of them in your trunk with clearances, etc?
Also I'm looking for an all year tire that performs well in the snow and is quiet. A snow tire for all year wouldn't work, but with this in mind what are you recommendations? I was thinking of the Nokian tires as they seem to have this, however the one that interested me more is the WRG2 SUV, but they don't make it in the size I need. Looks like they do have the Rotiiva2 in a 275/55/20 and they are rated for all weather, all year use and carry a snow symbol. Tread also looks good with decent siping for snow and icy conditions. Anyone have experience with the Rotiivas? I'm open to other tires too in a 20 that would fit the above use?

Blue Man Group
From its inception in the 1980s performance-art scene in New York, the Blue Man Group's shows have evolved from impromptu sets in Central Park to stages across the world. The eponymous blue-skinned trio, described by the Chicago Tribune as "ever-curious, ever-hopeful, ever-restless," remains unchanged by its more than two-decade tenure, still bewildered by the telescoping tubes of PVC piping it uses as instruments and the appreciative applause of the audience. But the group's shows are nothing if not timely, deftly posing questions about technology and stardom.
The spectacle is equal parts aural and visual, with live rock bands accompanying the men as they tap out rhythms on tangled snarls of pipe and flail wobbly poles covered in neon lights. Videos provide context for the speechless drummers, as well as a constant stream of wry humor. Evenings with the Blue Man Group build to a festive conclusion, bathing the audience in brilliant bursts of light and cheery floods of color-changing balloons.

- - Diet for sensitive stomach (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/diet-nutrition/483361-diet-sensitive-stomach.html)
Diet for sensitive stomach
My poor pup seems to have a sensitive stomach. His stools are large and not very well formed, and he has loose, "pudding" stools daily. We ruled out parasites, and the vet seems to think we just need to find the right diet that works for him- which is what I need help with!
Can anyone recommend a very basic diet? Needs to be affordable and preferably able to purchase locally. I'm looking for something with just one or 2 protein/meat sources; it seems a lot of foods out there have 3 and 4 different meat sources. Because my dog has megaesophagus and I mix up his food with soaked kibble and canned food, I need can food suggestions as well. I know a lot of people here feed raw or homemade diets, but that is not an option for me.
He's currently on Simply Nourish lamb and oatmeal with venison canned, and while he's done the best on Simply Nourish so far, between the soft stools and a few ingredients I don't like in the food, I'd like to switch him off. He's been on Blue Buffalo and Science Diet Ideal Balance canned in the past, and didn't do well on either. He's getting a probiotic right now, but it hasn't helped a ton and it's not meant to be given long term.
Thanks in advanced!
How old is your puppy?
Zazzle had a very sensitive stomach too and we had her on canned pumpkin (not the sugary pie filling kind), cooked white rice, boiled chicken & just a bit of taste of the wild puppy dry food soaked in water. She also was on some antibiotics at first. We got her at four months of age and this all started when we switched from the food the breeder was feeding.
Eventually, as she got firmer stools and grew older, I progressively have moved her to taste of the wild adult kibble with some water, innova canned adult dog food & a bit of boiled chicken thigh all mixed together, same as our older dog gets. She's 10 months old now and is doing fine.
I'm going to start sounding like a broken record here very soon. But my go to food for sensitive dogs is Annamaet. My parents dog with allergy related symptoms has done great on it. I also recommended it to a coworker that could not get his dog to stop itching, so bad she was ripping her fur out...her fur has grown in beautifully.
Parasites or fleas and ticks do have a serious impact on the digestion of our feline friends. If possible you should check if it's stomach has become sensitive due to those parasites.
Secondly, at least for few days try giving home cooked food to the pup, it will help make its stomach system quite strong. Do talk to your pet about advice for its diet!
I'll still recommend Holistic Select for sensitive stomachs.
It lacks the "wow" factor a lot of other kibbles have, but I really haven't encountered another food that just feeds out as well as it does. Perhaps not rocket science- its simple, and they pack it to the gills with probiotics. That formula seems to be the ticket for dogs not able to hold food down, though.
Rice is one of the worst things you can give a dog with Mega E unless its in the kibble.
Like a few poster before how old is the dog?
How severe is the Mega E?
Are you blending the food or just soaking it?
One thing, is the dog getting enough water? That is a Mega E challenge. Its also something that needs to be monitored if you are not leaving water out. Lack of fluids can do all sorts of bad things.
We use Acana for our Mega E boy. We blend it up with coconut milk which has high calories and is good for mega dogs. They make a single source protein food.
Hey all, thanks for the replies.
Just some background info. He is 10 months old, neutered about 3 months ago. His stool has always been on the looser side, but I've really noticed a problem the past few months. No fleas, ticks, or parasites, and the vet's recommendation was to find a simple diet that works for him.
He was diagnosed with ME at 7 weeks, and I soak his kibble, add in half a can of wet food, and mix it all together into a slush. He's able to drink water elevated and doesn't seem to have a problem with not getting enough. We think his condition has been mostly outgrown as there's been zero regurgitation for the past 7ish months, and he is pretty bad about getting into the other dog's nonelevated food and water... I'm still playing it safe with his feeding until we rex-ray him in the winter, but overall the condition is no longer severe.
Is there another way I can blend his food without using canned food? I'm worried the canned food might be contributing to his stomach upset... Would canned pumpkin with soaked kibble be a good long term solution?
I'll look into the foods suggested. Thanks everyone!
After more than two months of pudding stool (on a good day) and diarrhea many times each day, the problems were resolved when I switched to Grandma Mae's Country Naturals together with a daily dose of a probiotic.
Yes, use a blender with water and kibble, we do not use any canned food.
Pumpkin has always been something that creates more runs for my dogs. Never had good luck with it. Natural balance has a food called synergy that is really good for bad stomachs.
Out of curiosity more for myself than anything else, what coconut milk do you use?

LEGO CUUSOO Big Bang Theory Set
While I do think that there's too much emphasis on potential licenses rather than independent creativity, some of the stuff that's posted to LEGO's CUUSOO site is just amazing.
Like this very detailed and accurate LEGO recreation of Sheldon and Leonard's living room from The Big Bang Theory. Not only are the mini-figs for each of the main cast really good, but look at all the other bits in the room.
So if you like it, and would like to see it turned into an actual LEGO set, you should follow the link and register your support. It takes 10,000 supporters to get LEGO to review a set.

Now lets add the CMS fields so that we can edit the sidebar:
Note. Even though our has_one relationship was called "InternalLink" we call the TreeDropdown "InternalLinkID" as this is the column in the StaticSidebar table that it needs to save it's contents into. This is a slight inconsistency with Silverstripe, as we don't need to call our ImageField 'ImageID' even though it is the same principle.
The last thing to do is to add a line which stops the user creating children under our sidebar and also setting the default for 'ShowInMenus' to be false so that our sidebar page doesnt show up as an actual page on our site.
Now run yoursite.com/dev/build (in 2.2X run yoursite.com/db/build?flush=1). You will see the new fields being added and you can now log into the
Part II: Creating the Template
We are going to intergrate our sidebar into the default blackcandy theme, but it should be an almost indentical process to add it to your theme, just apply your own structure to it. You could also just as easily make it part of the footer, header or any other part of the page you fancy as we havnt actually defined anything that says where the information stored in the model needs to be on the page. Silverstripe gives up total freedom.
For our tempalte we can just copy and adapt the existing Sidebar template found in themes/blackcandy/templates/Includes/Sidebar.ss. minus the outermost div (id="Sidebar"). So copy and paste that into our StaticSidebar.ss file we created earlier and make it look like this:
So first up you will notice that we are calling a function 'GetStaticSidebar'. We havnt created this function yet, we do that in the next part, but all it does is return our StaticSidebar page so that we can use the data held in. So we first check if our StaticSidebar exists and if it does we enter a control context for it, allowing us to use all the variables first hand (i.e. $Image instead of $GetStaticSidebar.Image).
Then we remove the outermost div so that we dont't get 2 #sidebars and then just use the unordered list (<ul>) and enter each item as a list item (<li>). We use $InternalLink.Link because $InternalLink on it's own returns the actual page that we are linking to where as we want the link to that page in the same way as we use $Link in our menus. We use the same method to get the pages title, $InternalLink.MenuTitle. We also set the image to be 80px wide by calling $Image.SetWidth(80).
part III: Adding it to our Page
Finally we just need add the sidebar to our page template and create the function that will return our StaticSidebar for use in all our pages. Because we want to use it accross the whole site, it makes sense to put this function in the Page_Controller so that all our pages that extend Page will have access to this function. In the case of the blackcandy theme we need to add our sidebar underneath the existing menu(2) sidebar. To do this we will include our template in the Sidebar.ss file which is in turn included in our Layout/Page.ss template. We then need to make some slight alterations to the <% if %> block which surrounds the Sidebar include as we now want to draw the sidebar even if there is no level 2 menu to display.
So first lets add the function to our Page.php file:
All this function does is grabs the first StaticSidebar it can find and returns it. This is all we need as there will only be one of these sidebars in the site. If you need to have more then one, you will need to create a function which can filter the result based on a parameter that you define. So for example calling <% GetStaticSidebar(right) %> might use a function that has the database call DataObject::get("StaticSidebar", "Type = $Side"), where $Side is the variable passed into the function (in this case "right").
Finally we need to include our StaticSidebar.ss tempalte in the Sidebar.ss template and then make some slight alterations to the Layout/Page.ss template to ensure the Sidebar.ss is always included. So open up Includes/Sidebar.ss and make the following changes:
Now we just need to remove the if statment from our Layout/Page.ss:
Remember you will need to add the <% include Sidebar %> to all your new Layout files if you want any sidebar on those pages.

Hi guys,
At first.. I started yesterday working with Silverstripe. Now my question. I wanna make a sidebar on my website which can be edit in admin. I found no module for it so I wanna make it in this way:
I wanna make a invisible page (called "sidebar") in admin and include it in my sidebar.. But I don't know which code I would need to include.. and if it will work at all. I hope someone can help and understand (I am from Germany) me. p.s. I know there is a sidebar within the blog module, but I don't want this sidebar.

rpm's too low
Need some MAJOR help guys. I run a dirt track in FL, roundy round. My car bogs coming off the turns. My final gear is 6:52 at the moment, made through the tranny. I previously had a final of 6:26, again through the tranny. My problem is, I would like to turn the engine up to around 6200 to 6400 rpms, and can't seem to get it to turn more than 5800, no matter the gear. My engines a 350 Chevy, with a stock lift cam (Lunati). It has 232 duration, and a 106 degree separation. Have a stock Q Jet carb, with minor mods. Have 100lb valve springs, w/SS 194/160 valves. The head chamber is 75cc. Have a curve kit in the stock HEI distributor, with the lightest springs installed. Hypertectic flattops, bored 0.30. Everything else in the engine is stock. I'm missing some piece of the puzzle, and can't seem to get it to turn any harder. I need some advice, as I can't stand running 6th or 7th any longer. By the way, the class is a stock class, and restricted to mostly stock parts. ANY help you can give is greatly appreciated.........TY
C'mon guys, you mean to tell me, none of you have any answers or suggestions? Please gimme some help............
Without being there most anybody in the know could write a book about what could be wrong and still never pin it down. Here's a few guesses. You went to a lower gear but still turn the same rpm sounds like a valve spring problem. Just becuase you have a lot of seat pressure doesn't mean that the springs will be free of surge. Do your springs have an inner dampner. There has been many cheapy valves springs sold as so called Z-28 springs that turn out to be crap. Some of them work ok you're just never sure what you're going to get.
With stock unported heads your horses power is going to max out around 5000-5500 so if you're already turning it 5800 there's nothing more to gain by turning it faster. If you must run stock lift cams you need to know how your track will check this. If they check it at the valve then stock lift is all you're going to get. If they measure it by lobe lift you better have 1.6 to 1 rockers be cuase everyone else will.
Since you having problems getting off the corner your ether pushing real bad or you're needing to make more bottom end torque. Make sure that your dead on on the jets. Make sure that the secondary air valve is not set too loose if so it will kill your bottom end.
first, thanx for replying..........I do have dampers on my valve springs, and the track checks the lift of the cam at the valve, so not much more than the stock .390 lift can be gotten. I'm not real good on the carb, usually have someone else put it together, and I put it on the car. The Lunati cam I have makes power from 2600 to 6400 rpms, and I thought I could turn just a little more before the valves float. I'm considering changing the heads to a 58cc chamber 305 set. They are currently at the machinists, having 194/160 valves installed. I also just learned from the tech guy, I can run the lighter Z28 flywheel, 10.4", and have one just resurfaced. I agree I need more torque on the bottom, the cars about as good as it can get on the cornering setup, no push, and only slightly loose off. It just seems other cars, near same make and models are coming off a lot faster. Once mine has built some rpm's, I run with them, and actually gain ground through the entry part of the turns, only to bog coming off.....again, thanx for the reply.......
You could well be running out of fuel in the turns. G forces pools the fuel in the float bowl and one or both jets may not getting fuel. Try setting your float a little higher. You are correct you should be getting more revs with the gears you have and the mods on the motor. If the float change does not help, I would tackle the secondaries on the Q jet. My simple mind would tell me to wire it closed and look for not much change in performance. Then I would start working to make it open up properly. I'll get out my book on Q Jets and look for the proper terms for each of the controllers.
Stock Q- jet's are notorious for shallow fuel bowls.
I should think I would start with looking at ignition. Stock type HEI module I presume? They don't work over 5000 very well. Lock out the dist., you don't need these parts and they will break on you sooner or later. After getting the ignition worked out, it's time to work on the carburetor. You need to eliminate the possibility of ignition problems first. After you get squared there, you can tune the high speed air bleeds for power. Those 305 heads will raise compression enough to make the cam work better but you are going to run out of the power range sooner. If our engine is all up to snuff you need to work on carrying the speed through the center and off. If your car feels like it's running on rails, then you are going too slow.
What is your RPM coming off the corner? You might be getting below your torque band of the cam. Are you sure that the other cars aren't lifting sooner than you so that they can get back on the gas sooner? You're correct in thinking that you're going to need every bit of compression that you can find.
johnsongrass1, you are correct, the distributor is stock. I was kinda thinkin it was in the distributor, but needed further advice. You say to lock out the distributor. What do you mean by this? Lock out the vacuum advance? Could you be a little more specific. As you can probably tell, I'm not up to your speed on all the technical info. Can build the engine, to the basics, but am not versed in all of the tricks of tuning......I appreciate any help you can give. Believe me, I'll try 'bout anything to make it GO.

Rotor to fit an Olds stub axle?
I have just been in touch with Willwood as their website said they do a disc brake conversion kit for a 57 Oldsmobile 88, turns out they only do the back and not the front, ridiculous! All I am looking for is a disc rotor that will fit onto the Oldsmobile stub axle, getting a caliper to fit will be the easy part! Does anybody know of any other model with the same size stub axle???
disc brake
Are the front brake drums removeable, bolted or riveted to the hubs.? I would check out some of the rear rotors from front wheel drive big gm cars of the 80's Scarebird has a lot of disc conversion kits and list one for your olds and had a demo of a 60. very similar.
All you need is a rotor that fits a 5 x 5" bolt circle, with a center pilot that is close enough that you can machine either the rotor or the hub to fit. As noted, many of the FWD GM large cars in the 1970s and 1980s had rear rotors that should work on your front hubs. Check a late 70s Toronado or Eldorado with rear discs. Here are the dimensions for a 1977 Eldo rear rotor:
Unfortunatly it is illegal to machine the stub axle as I have already inquired about doing that. Will check out some of those rotors you mentioned anyway though. Thanks.

Foreward by Andy Soltis
More than 125 years ago, one of the first great chess books appeared. The Modern Chess Instructor, Part I, written by then world champion Wilhelm Steinitz, was released in 1889. It was his magnum opus, setting forth for the first time the principles of modern chess. It is no exaggeration to say that Steinitz's writings have influenced every great player. This 21st century edition has converted the archaic English descriptive notation to algebraic and reformatted the text so that it conforms to the expectations of the 21st century chessplayer. The Modern Chess Instructor's rare second part, published in 1895, has also been added. The result is a genuine treasure trove of original ideas coupled with exposition of the foundation of modern chess theory. Every chessplayer will find The Modern Chess Instructor enjoyable and instructive, a journey back to the theoretical roots of modern chess.
The Modern Chess Instructor
The World Chess Champion
The first official world champion, Wilhelm Steinitz was a towering figure in the chess world in the last quarter of the 19th century. For nearly three decades, he never lost a serious match. His opening innovations have resonated for more than a century. For example, for those who do not wish to meet the Ruy Lopez with 3...a6, the Steinitz Defense, 3...d6, may still be one of the best ways to meet the "Spanish Torture."

Reinfeld on the Endgame is a very fine specialty book about several aspects of endgames. It concentrates on a very difficult, too-often glossed over aspect of the transition between the middlegame and the endgame. Each section is introduced with pithy explanations, and each example is shown and then summarized. It all begins with transitions into a favorable endgame, dividing the topic into material or positional advantages. This skill is often known as winning technique, and a good explanation of how it is done is invaluable. Here we get that explanation by one of the most prolific chess writers of the twentieth century.

Taylor, Susan
Dr. Taylor is a professor in the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences and works as a staff internist in the Small Animal Clinic of the Veterinary Medical Centre.
Dr. Taylor moved to Canada to join the WCVM staff in 1985. Her professional interests include neurology, respiratory medicine and infectious and immune-mediated diseases.
Dr. Taylor's areas of active research include medical, neuromuscular and neurological problems affecting canine athletes (sled dogs, field trial retrievers and working border collies). She is actively investigating the inherited disorder, exercise induced collapse (EIC) in Labrador retrievers and a similar disorder in border collies (border collie collapse or BCC).
As well, Dr. Taylor is studying a distinct partial seizure disorder (atypical epilepsy, paroxysmal dyskinesia) in Labrador retrievers and focal seizure disorders manifesting with autonomic signs in all breeds.
