This fall, the fearless heroes of Azeroth will clash against the mythic might of Garrosh Hellscream's fearsome Iron Horde when Warlords of Draenor launches worldwide. Players in North America and Europe can prepare for the coming invasion now by boosting a character to level 90 when they pre-purchase the expansion digitally. To learn more about the epic array of content coming in the expansion, check out today's announcement or visit the Warlords of Draenor web page.
The wait is over: The Hearthstone Open Beta Test is now live in Europe! If you haven't joined in on all of the crazy card-slinging action yet, now is your chance! Pull up a chair and prepare to start casting powerful spells, summoning mighty minions, and dueling your friends in a fast-paced strategy card game for everyone.
It's been a crazy past few months for all of us on the Hearthstone team. We announced Hearthstone at PAX East back in March, began the Closed Beta Test in August, had a blast at BlizzCon with the Innkeeper's Invitational, and we were excited to announce Android and iPhone support. Now we're ready to unleash the awesomeness of Hearthstone to you with Open Beta.
So what does this mean for you? If you didn't get the chance to participate in the Hearthstone Closed Beta Test, you can now download the game. Just click here to download Hearthstone, or you can use the Play Free Now button at the top of playhearthstone.com. We have no plans to perform any more card wipes, so feel free to amass your collection and play against your friends.
Open Beta is still not a final release, and we will be closely monitoring many aspects of the game to ensure a positive play experience for everyone. Please be aware that if smoke starts curling out of our servers due to unexpectedly high demand for Hearthstone, we may have to temporarily disable Open Beta account activations until we're ready to take on more players.
Download, play and enjoy Hearthstone now - we'll see you in-game!
On March 25, the crusade against death itself charges forth with the launch of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls for Windows and Mac. Prepare for the onslaught today by prepurchasing the expansion digitally on Battle.net.
Whether you plan to immediately don the armor of the new Crusader character or take your current hero directly into Act V, Reaper of Souls will bring you updated loot rewards, all-new class skills and abilities, game-changing features like the Mystic and Adventure Mode, and highly replayable content in the form of Bounties and Nephalem Rifts.
You also have the option to prepurchase the Digital Deluxe Edition, which contains a wealth of in-game goodies: a collection of exclusive helm- and weapon-transmogrification recipes to distinguish your hero among the champions of Sanctuary; a loyal Spectral Hound minion to keep your adventurers company on their epic journeys; three additional character slots to accommodate new heroes; an in-game Treasure Goblin companion pet for World of Warcraft; and an assortment of Crusader-themed Battle.net portraits and Malthael-themed decals for StarCraft II.
Players who prepurchase the Digital Deluxe Edition will receive their in-game items with the launch of the expansion on March 25, though some items may arrive beforehand, so keep an eye out for early deliveries.
If you're looking for even more loot, the Reaper of Souls retail-exclusive Collector's Edition comes fully equipped with all the in-game goodies from the Digital Deluxe, plus a range of premium collectible items:
The Standard Edition is available for 39.99 € and the Digital Deluxe Edition is available for 54.99 €. If you choose to preorder the Standard Edition and later want to upgrade to the Digital Deluxe Edition, you'll be able to do so for 20 €. The Collector's Edition is available only at select retail locations for a suggested retail price of 79.99 €. A limited number of Collector's Editions will be available and they're expected to sell out quickly, so be sure to lock in your preorder with your local retailer as soon as possible.
For more information on the March 25 release of Reaper of Souls for Windows and Mac, check out the official press release, or visit the Reaper of Souls game page to learn more about the expansion and secure your digital copy. Also, be sure to keep an eye on www.diablo3.com for updates on the launch of Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition on the PS4.
Until then, we'll see you in Sanctuary!
*When you prepurchase Diablo III: Reaper of Souls digitally via Battle.net, you will be able to download an encrypted version of the game client prior to the launch date. The expansion content will be unlocked and available for play on March 25, 2014.
The new Recruit a Friend program, recently announced at BlizzCon, means it's never been easier to try out World of Warcraft. Existing players can quickly and easily invite their friends to play with them, with great benefits for both!
Faster leveling, exclusive mounts and even free game time are on offer when you team up with a friend. So if you've been wondering what all the fuss is about in the lands of Azeroth, now's the time to find out!
A portal into Warcraft history has ripped open, and the fifth World of Warcraft expansion has been revealed! Warlords of Draenor sends players to the savage world of Draenor–home of the mighty orcs and haven of the mystic draenei–to fight against and alongside legends from Warcraft's brutal past.
Amid Draenor's untamed jungles and battle-scarred plains, a merciless new Iron Horde has been forged from the mighty orc clans of old. To save their own world from impending invasion, Azeroth's heroes will need to explore the far reaches of this unforgiving land, achieving new heights of power on their way to the new level cap of 100. To establish a foothold on Draenor, players will construct, command, and expand their own Garrison, a customizable base of operations and refuge for the followers you recruit to your desperate cause. Warlords of Draenor also empowers players to instantly boost one character to level 90, making it so anyone can join the battle for Draenor alongside their friends.
For more information, check out the official press release, and visit the new Warlords of Draenor website for screenshots, details about the new features, concept art, the announcement trailer, a sneak peek at updated player character models, and more.

The biggest games convention in the world is over for another year, and thousands of happy, tired gamers – including over 100 Blizzard staff – are heading home.
It's been another vintage year for Blizzard at gamescom. On Wednesday we announced the upcoming Diablo III expansion, Reaper of Souls, at a press conference, and those lucky enough to be there that day were able to play it in the afternoon.
The doors opened to the general public on Thursday morning and very quickly the queues started to build at the Blizzard booth. Diablo III: Reaper of Souls was playable by the public for the first time anywhere; Diablo III on PlayStation 3 and Hearthstone were playable for the first time in Europe; and with World of Warcraft Patch 5.4 playable too, there was something for everyone.
Meanwhile, the stage entertainment and activities just kept coming. Quizzes, WoW leveling contests, StarCraft II Arcade Map Challenges, and Mega Bloks building contests gave players the chance to get involved and win great loot, and there were spectacular live music concerts by special guests Omnia and Asturia.
We had World of Warcraft guilds Method and Genuine showing us how the experts take down Mists of Pandaria's toughest raid bosses; and pro StarCraft II players including WhiteRa, LiquidRet, JaeDong, HasuObs and Socke tackling each other in show matches. Speaking of experts, Lead Artist Ben Thompson from the Hearthstone development team demonstrated his skills live on stage, creating fantastic artwork while the crowd watched.
And finally, gamescom would not be complete without the Blizzard costume contest and the World of Warcraft dance contest. We saw some incredible efforts in both competitions and we're really pleased so many people signed up to take part. Great prizes were won, including two AlienWare 14 laptops and a trip for two to this year's BlizzCon. Congratulations go to our dance contest winner Thomas Y. and our costume contest winner Ralf Z.!
We'd like to thank everyone who visited our booth. It was great to see and meet so many of you there – and we hope we'll see you again at the next gamescom!
Check out our Media section for all the photos and videos from the event.

Teen Costumes
We have lots of Teen costumes for girls. Great costumes that will be a hit with all your friends. Costumes that are cute, sexy, fun, made with lots of movie characters for great family pictures. Oh yes and these are made so your parents will let you out of the house wearing them. Sexy and cute yes but in a teenage way. Here are some Halloween costumes for teenage girls:[wpsc_products category_id='79']
Not too childish. Not too sexual. Not too big. Not too small.
This is the balance that teens must find when selecting a Halloween costume. We understand the dilemma and the problem. We've created this section of teen costumes to help solve it. We've put together ten costumes for men and women that are age appropriate (for the most part) and made in teen sizes.
If you are a young man looking for a costume, we suggest that you go with either a vampire or a pirate costume. Both are exotic and timely given the Pirates of the Caribbean and Twilight movies.
If you are a young lady looking to buy a Halloween costume, you have a few more choices. We think the hot teen costumes this year will be the bee, ladybug, cat, witch, angel, devil, fairy, or Alice in Wonderland. You will also find more than a few pirates and female vampires.
There are hundreds of teen costumes to choose from – so if you are ready to start shopping for your teen costume – you'll just have to hold your horses until September when we have our costumes for Halloween 2012.

Bee Costumes
Cat Costumes

Blue Fire
Dimensions: 50x50X4 cm, 19.7x19.7x1.6 inches.
This is the last artwork of Chromotherapy collection, a marvelous big painting a real therapy for the eyes and for the soul.
A little about me: what you might think is an accident it is in reality a lot of years of studies and researches, a lot of experiments with many materials, some bought some made myself from old recipe. I painted in churches for more than 12 years in fresco, the same technique that Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, and now, for 4 years I started to paint in watercolors, acrylics and oil colors. I enjoy the most big painting - after so much church painting it is easier for me in large formats - abstract or not.
I signed and dated on the front and I also put my relief signet as you can see an example at the last picture. I also attache an certificate of authenticity for every piece of art that I sold.
The technique I use is: stretched canvases on wooden chassis and professional acrylic colors.
At the end I covered with a coat of varnish, to protect it for the UV and dust.
It is ready to hang on the wall.
I ship this works in cardboard boxes careful wrapped in bubble foil.
If you are from a country outside European Union you can pay custom please inform before buying it.

That's the same gun he used to "get" Bin Laden. In fact, I think that's the actual photo of Obama getting Bin Laden.
That picture is as fake as his birth certificate. Look at his left arm- totally fake against the back ground. The missing choke on the bottom barrel- he second barrel is imperative to skeet shooting. The smoke- really? Is that citori shooting blackpowder shells?
I feel so much safer about my 2A rights now that we know he does hunt skeet. I'm sure he'll soon be telling how much he likes to eat the skeet's he shoot, especial when eaten with a side of golf eggs.
What is really funny is that the WH is putting out a warning on "photo shopping" this pic.
They just grabbed some kid off the Internet that did some photoshop work on that PIC and they waterboarded him.
Don't DO it! That Lib Left Goon Squad plays hardball!
Is he a southpaw? He's shooting like one, but he's wearing his watch like a righty. Anyone know how he golfs?
That other picture is photoshopped. Here's the real one...
I see you two have violated the "no photoshopping" rule. Couldn't you have waited at least 5 minutes before you did that? You know...out of respect for the office. :king:
Twernt me. I'm innocent. All I did was post it. :scruntiny:

BodyCraft K2 Gym - Home Gym

Almost 99 out of 100 Gyms do not have this option, making the BodyCraft K2 one of a kind, and top of the line. Two people can use this unit at once due to the fact that it comes with 2 separate 200-pound weight stacks. Also included are shrouds and mounted exercise charts. The dimesions are 132"W x 120"L x 83"H and 168"W with Optional Leg Press. Also included is a FREE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON EVERY SINGLE PIECE AND PART OF THIS MACHINE.

Prisoner Solidarity Rally and March to Santa Cruz County Jail
Sin Barras, a community-based group that works to build coalitions to eradicate the prison industrial-complex, held a rally and march on Saturday, April 6, 2013, starting at the clock tower in downtown Santa Cruz. Sin Barras demands that, "Santa Cruz County officials provide real healthcare within the county jail, eliminate pretrial detention, and reallocate jail funding to create drug treatment centers and welfare programs outside of Santa Cruz County Jail."
[Photo: A demonstrator holds a sign in front of the clock tower stating, "Invest in schools and mental health. Not Prisons!"]
Since August 2012, at least four people have died inside the Santa Cruz County Jail from lack of medical care: Christy Sanders, Rick Prichard, Brant Monnet, and Bradley Gordon Dreher. In July 2012, the Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors voted to outsource county jail medical care to Monterey-based California Forensic Medical Group. CFMG provides services for 25 California counties and has an extensive history of lawsuits against them related to inadequate care, inmate abuse, and neglect.
Critical Resistance, an Oakland-based national organization dedicated to opposing the expansion of the prison industrial complex, defines the prison industrial complex (PIC) as the overlapping interests of government and industry that use surveillance, policing, and imprisonment as solutions to economic, social and political problems.
Through its reach and impact, the PIC helps and maintains the authority of people who get their power through racial, economic and other privileges. There are many ways this power is collected and maintained through the PIC, including creating mass media images that keep alive stereotypes of people of color, poor people, queer people, immigrants, youth, and other oppressed communities as criminal, delinquent, or deviant.
This power is also maintained by earning huge profits for private companies that deal with prisons and police forces; helping earn political gains for "tough on crime" politicians; increasing the influence of prison guard and police unions; and eliminating social and political dissent by oppressed communities that make demands for self-determination and reorganization of power in the US.

The Brass Liberation Orchestra makes loud on the streets to inspire, instigate, agitate, mourn, celebrate, and communicate. We stand in solidarity with groups and movements who are working for a more just and equitable world. We are a work in progress. We work to build a multigender / multiracial / multigenerational group that enhances and strengthens the culture of the Left.

Thanks, Bradley (and Alex) for showing the energy, engagement and passion of this event. Your contributions continue to be important and noteworthy. Proud to be a part of this as a "demonstrator".

Recently Norse (of HUFF) approached me, asking if I had any preference for HUFF speakers (on my behalf, being a Santa Cruz County fugitive dreamer and all) for the Sin Barras event.
I suggested Razer Ray, thinking that an informed, thoughtful, controversial, and articulate homeless person might wake up the crowd. Then I remembered that HUFF doesn't appeal to Razer. Oh well.
Becky's OK, I guess, although the follow up fact checking gets tedious. For example; as far as I know (as told to me by Ed, the lawyer), the 2nd case appeal was heard before a Santa Cruz appellate panel (2 out of 3 anyway) that _failed to reach a decision_. Ed has even filed a petition for rehearing. Maybe that is my fault, I haven't blogged about it yet, so unless Becky listened to Ed before speaking at the Sin Barras event, how would she know any better?
Tuesday Apr 9th, 2013 10:24 PM
Ed Frey's Petition for Rehearing as well as his account of the almost perfunctory dismissal of the case by Judges Symons and Volkman can be found at http://www.fullspectrumdemocracy.org/2013/04/appellants-petition-for-rehearing.html .
While I admire Ed's persistence, I'm doubtful he can get anywhere given the court system as predisposed to rubberstamp prosecutions however far-fetched with few exceptions. Still Ed's arguments are reasonable and persuasive. If only power listened to reason.
Ed did not that the appeal did not get the immediate rejection that a prior verbal appeal brought. He suggested to me that his having written out the whole thing may cause they to tread more carefully and perhaps even reverse themselves.
Which would, I assume, give Ed a chance to reargue a case before a wretched judiciary predisposed against ordinary people--forget about homeless people and political acitivists.
Still Roman tyranny and imperialism was not torn down in a day. Good luck to Ed and Gary.

SC courts are a joke. the judges depend on reelection by a majority to keep their jobs
so minorities like the homeless get screwed out of their rights. Federal courts are our only
hope, and that remains a slim hope at best.
i believe there will soon be a black bloc action on related jail issues.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is a common and serious pathogen in the growing areas of several countries, however, many countries consider PSTVd to be a phytosanitary risk. In some countries where it occurs, seed potatoes must be grown in a production system shown to be free of PSTVd. PSTVd is readily transmitted through botanical seed and pollen of potato and is easily mechanically transmitted during cultivation. PSTVd is also insect transmitted in double infections with potato leafroll virus, having important implications for disease spread. Primary control of the disease is by the prevention of the introduction of infected materials into the field. We have identified and report for the first time the occurrence of PSTVd in the principal potato production region of Costa Rica. This report has important phytosanitary and marketability implications for the Costa Rican potato industry and the information will be of use to scientists, producers, and action agencies who are concerned with phytosanitary certification and prevention of yield losses to the disease caused by PSTVd.
Technical Abstract: During 1997-1998, symptoms of leaf roll, dwarfism, chlorosis and occasional leaf necrosis were observed on Solanum tuberosum cultivars Atzimba, Floresta, Idiafrit and Birris, in several plots in Cartago, the principal potato production region of Costa Rica. Because of the known association between potato leafroll virus (PLRV) and viroids, and previous reports of PLRV in Costa Rica, the presence of potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) was suspected. Leaf samples from 120 symptomatic potato plants were collected from 10 different plots. Total nucleic acids (TNAs) were extracted and purified from collected symptomatic samples and six healthy potato controls. TNAs were spotted onto nylon membranes and hybridized to a DIG-labeled DNA probe specific for PSTVd. Of the 120 symptomatic plants, 61 were positive for PSTVd by dot blot hybridization. TNAs from twelve positive potato samples were used to inoculate Lycopersicum esculentum cv. Super Marmande. Eleven of twelve inoculated tomato plants showed symptoms of dwarfism, leaf deformation and grayish foliage, often with a dull surface. TNAs were extracted from inoculated tomato and hybridized to the PSTVd probe. All inoculated plants were positive for PSTVd by dot blot hybridization. This is the first report of PSTVd in Costa Rica.

Special Day Brings Back Special Memories
Mother's Day – Does growing up with this special day tend to cause us to take it for granted?
If so, let's take some time to remember some of the things our mothers did for us, and we will probably realize just how special they were…or if you are fortunate, is.
Shirley (Sperry) Curry remembers her mother (Ellen Sperry) meeting her and her siblings when they came home from school every day.
Visit Family in Michigan
Larry and Sue Urban of St. Peter traveled to Reed City, Mich., for a visit with daughter and son-in-law, Keri and Tom Latin, and attended the Operetta of Emma & Elijah Latin on Friday, April 29. The Operetta was entitled, "A Man Named Noah."
The twins were decked out in penguin costumes, handmade by their adopted Michigan grandmas. An enjoyable and relaxing time was spent with the Latins on Saturday enjoying the great Michigan outdoors.
Wednesday, May 4
• Wright's Corner Unit of Home and Community Education, 1 p.m., Loudon Town House.
Old Capital View Restaurant & Lounge, located at 401 W. Gallatin St. in Vandalia, will officially open its doors for business at 11 a.m. this Thursday.
The business's specialty is "homemade everything." They will feature a lunch buffet and a complete menu with entrée choices featuring beef, pork, chicken, pasta and seafood, as well as fresh salads, sandwiches and a complete line of desserts.
Wet soil conditions are causing concern for anhydrous ammonia application this spring, said Fabian Fernandez, University of Illinois Extension specialist in soil fertility and plant nutrition.
Anhydrous ammonia is the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer source in Illinois. In order for this fertilizer to be effective, good soil moisture conditions are necessary, Fernandez said.
Ideal soil conditions are about 15-20 percent moisture. Within these moisture levels, a fine-textured soil, such as silty clay loam, feels slightly moist.
As the planting delay lengthens, many farmers are wondering if they should switch crops from corn to soybeans, and if they should change corn hybrids from earlier to later ones.
"We're ahead of the rest of the Corn Belt, but with only about 10 percent planted in April, it's a disappointing start after the dry weather in early April," said Emerson Nafziger, University of Illinois Extension agronomist.
For the second week in a row, cool temperatures, moist conditions and heavy rains have kept seeding and other field activities on hold across the state.
A few areas were able to get out into the field on Sunday evening. The statewide average temperature was 1.2 degrees below normal, at 55.4 degrees.
Average precipitation for the state was 2.34 inches. The norm for the time period is 0.9 inches. Saturated fields and flooding have been a problem at some locations, especially along the Illinois and Mississippi rivers.
For the past 13 years, cicada nymphs have been underground, feeding on tree and shrub roots, but according to University of Illinois entomologist James Appleby, they will be emerging very soon, and when they do, you'll know it because you'll hear them singing.
Area farmers are feeling the impact of an exceptionally wet spring, This field, located southeast of Vandalia along U.S. Route 51, remains flooded, even though the Kaskaskia River level is finally dropping. The wet conditions are causing farmers to consider switching to late-season corn hybrids, or possibly planting soybeans instead of corn.
"American Idol" is one of the most-watched talent searches in the country, and a local organization will be providing a similar talent search to Vandalia.
Soroptimist International of Vandalia, a local club of the world-wide organization, is a group of professional woman that support the cause of women and girls in our community.
The work by members include the "Food for Thought" program at OUR PLACE Youth Center and filling the big flower pots in front of businesses around town.

The edit is nearing completion. We wait for the final music clearances of what may be the best soundtrack of Creative Destruction. My ears are loving every beat, every strum, everything.
The Burningman chapter (one we should not speak of anymore as we may be hunt down, buried and burnt by the Witches and wizards of the Playa) was weird… Chapter 5 is weirder, but in a way that I think you may enjoy.
The places we went and the people we met in Europe were amazing—it was one of the best trips of the project. The rain and wind threw buckets at us but as the clouds cleared and mother nature shone down on us everything aligned.
I cant write any more, I make no sense, but these images do.
I haven't spent a lot of time in the woods. I grew up with a gully next to my house that was fun for the odd imagination adventure, but apart from that I haven't put in much time. I've always wondered though, what could be going on deep in those trees that I'm missing out on. Are the forest creatures having tea parties on old stumps? Is Tarzan throwing parties with a keg and vine swing? Is there a secret lumberjack flanno stall selling color combos that I couldn't even dream of? I had so many questions but never went looking. When the chance came along the other day to explore some woods in southern France I said what the hell maybe I'll get some answers.
I didn't go deep, I didn't stay long. I took some photos and climbed a few trees but my wildest dreams seemed to be just that… Dreams. Until… I found it. A perfect deer skull complete with two wicked horns and a full grill of teeth. What are the chances. I've been hunting down a skull in good condition for a wall mount for ages. All the antique and treasure shops I looked in were way too overpriced. I finally got one. And for free…….
I just wish I could take it home. Damn customs. I plan to dry it out over the next year and treat it properly the next time I return to France with hydrogen peroxide. When it is properly clean and legit to travel I will take it home. Proud.
I'm glad my curiosity got the best of me.—Wade Goodall

Call it what you will. The Xbox 360 Slim, the Xbox 360 Slimline the Xbox 360 S or even what Microsoft has actually decided to go with: the Xbox 360 250GB. The name doesn't matter, what matters is that it's here and whether it's a worthy upgrade to its rather successful predecessor.
The difference strikes you immediately. Gone is the attractively understated matt finish of both the original white Xbox 360 and the later, blacker, Xbox 360 Elite. Instead this new Xbox 360 250GB is finished in glossy black plastic. We're not so sure that we didn't prefer the previous colour scheme, but since the PS3 Slim changed from gloss black to matt black, we presume Microsoft has no choice but to go the other way. The chassis design itself is updated to good effect, though, with the front having a far more pronounced "X" shape to it - albeit stretched out a little. In short: we like it.
The chassis isn't really that much smaller, measuring 270mm x 75mm x 264mm versus the old unit's 310mm x 80mm x 260mm. That's a 17 per cent reduction in volume (from 6.5 litres to 5.4 litres maths fans) but in practical terms you'll be allocating about the same amount of free space to this console as the previous SKU. The system's weight is down from 3.5kg to 2.9kg - although quite who would upgrade to or buy the Xbox 360 250GB just because it's a little lighter is beyond comprehension.
The Xbox 360 250GB's power and eject buttons are now capacitive, rather than physical. Whether the 'bing' sound accompanying the DVD drive ejection is an intentional tie-in to Microsoft's search engine is debatable, but we don't believe in co-incidence.
The infamously large power brick is no longer, replaced by a much smaller affair, no bigger than you'd find supplied with a 15in laptop. Arguably it's a greater boon than the console's size-reduction - housing that oversized unit inside an AV cabinet wasn't the easiest task. The connecting cable is also less beefy, which makes orienting it that much easier, too. This reduction is size is no doubt a fringe benefit of the reduced power draw of the Xbox 360 250GB - 135W, down from the 'Jasper' units' 150W.
Mine should be arriving this morning. Good times...
Does it still come with a three year warranty?!
Pedantry alert: its volume is either in cubic metres or litres. Cubic litres are a twenty-seven dimensional unit of hypervolume.
Although shunting heat into higher dimensions would certainly help cooling.
All in all a very good review, very interesting and informative. The Xbox 360 'whatever' is certainly a worthy successor, with improvements to its size, power consumption and peripheral attachments. I'm even tempted to get one, though the PS3 more likely due to the Blu-Ray playback facility.
PS. The volume bit isn't really right as that's the volume of a cuboid, not the complex shape the new Xbox takes. And if this was a cuboid it should be 5.3 litres, not 5.4 because: 270 x 75 x 264 mm = 5,346,000 mm{2}= 5.346 litres; we have only have a max of 2 significant figures (2sf), the 75 mm bit; so 5.346 rounded to 2sf is 5.3, not 5.35, nor 5.4. Maths, don't you love it… not!
ravmania - Nope, because the three year warranty specifically covered the RRoD, from which this (we're told) SKU won't suffer. I think it's safe to assume that Microsoft will offer the same replacement deal if these start failing in bulk, though.
Wheres the kensington lock slot - I can't find it on those pictures?
Andy - http://i.imgur.com/ttJWL.jpg
My photography was pretty poor, so apologies for that. I blame the rubbish camera, obviously. ;)
@Hugo: My photography was pretty poor,
Can be seen clearly on Page 2 Pic 3. :_
Still 135W? Or is this just what the power supply is rated to? The latest PS3 slim uses just 60W according to Wikipedia :s
You complain about the failure to bundle an HDMI cable, but the PS3 (at least the 40GB one I bought, not sure about the Slim) doesn't include one either. Similarly the Wii doesn't include a component cable - it's composite all the way. HDMI cables are stupidly cheap and there should be one in the box, but I guess this way you can choose a cable of suitable length for your own system, and the added expense shouldn't be much. Also, how else will GAME be able to make 400% profit on "premium" HDMI cables costing £30?
@sockatume and @Eggburt1969: You fellas must get all the girls ;).
@Hugo: "My photography was pretty poor". Were you using an iPhone? ...
@Article: Contained all essential details. I'm still considering whether to get a 360. Although when reminded of all the HDD installation requirements etc., the little voice instead my head still just goes "pah, these aren't consoles, they're f***ing pretend-PCs, so just stick with PC".
Oh good, I've convinced myself not to. The wife will be pleased.
If the Xbox was a pretend PC, it would have memory upgrades, due to lack of memory, one of my fave xbox games - Tropico 3 (PC port) is doomed on play if people love your paradise. I cannot believe in 2010 a memory upgrade is forgotten. Boo MS boo, stick to nintendogs drdark :)
I love my 360 but I'd still be wary about MS hardware after the RROD.
While they eventually did the right thing and the repair service is very slick they did take a long time to admit to the fault.
I think they should stand by their products to give buyers confidence. Like Toyota are now providing 5 year warranties after their recall.
Wow, my first time to the site in a week and I'm straight in complimenting a Microsoft product, I must be ill...
Been borrowing the Elite of a friend for the past week, and I'm sold. xBox live has exceeded my expectations; Gears, Fable, L4D all very much worth it; the OS is surprisingly good... I like.
@DrDark - "pah, these aren't consoles, they're f***ing pretend-PCs" - Unlike the Wii, of course, which is a pretend NetBook to follow your metafore ;-)
@Hugo - "the RRoD, from which this (we're told) SKU won't suffer" - Yup, you're right, I've heard that they've removed the red light entirely!
@John McLean - dont make the mistake of thinking premium cables dont make a difference! They do - though Id dispute buying one from Game is a good idea!
I dont mean to sound like Im Xbox bashing (God please dont let the fanboys revolt) but this is one hell of a stinking looking machine! It's horrible!
I'll probably get round to having my 360 repaired some day but to be honest I havent missed it in the 6 months or so its been broken.
@drdark: Were you using an iPhone? ...
WOW!!, a post totally unrelated to Apple, well done!!!.
Cub - you've got it; you can't have a RRoD without a RR :)
Keith - I though that too from the pictures, but sat next to my TV I like it.
@Hugo: I though that too from the pictures, but sat next to my TV I like it.
Sorry Hugo, I meant the kensington lock slot can been clearly seen on page 2 pic 3. But I can see how I totally miss quoted that one. :)
Keith - And my reply was to Jones' comment that he didn't like the looks, not to you at all. Time for another cup of coffee I think...
I'm not complaining from the lack of HDMI cable, they have them at aldi for £2 (zero reason why you would ever pay more (unless for length)), also as I have a spare HDMI cable lying around so having one that came with the system would just be a waste in my eyes.
@Keith: Thank you. Thank you.
@Cub: I don't think you got my metaphor, but nevermind.
@hank: Cheeky!
But that Tropico 3 sounds like a bad port...
@Ravmania...The extended three year warranty was exclusive/specific to the dreaded E74 error. So, from what I gather (apologies if I have this wrong) the warranty is now back to one year since the RROD has been removed from the new unit. Personally, I will be dubious about this new xbox until it's well bedded in & we start to see if the failure rates have been drastically reduced still. We know the Jasper chipset was a vast inprovement from the Falcon, but, with the three year warranty now gone; so is the safety net that reassured me. On my fourth Xbox, which entitles me to a certain cynisism I think.
Is it possible to get shots of the new Xbox next to the new PS3? I know MS doesn't like the comparison, but since this review is rather late and with a retail unit rather than one sent by MS it won't be breaking any rules.
The old 3 red light RROD was changed to the E74 single red light. In the unlikely event the the S is just as poorly built the Red Dot of Death will likely be brought into the 3 year warranty.
It seems MS is slowly learning how to deal with hardware failures, the next revision will give no indication as to what is wrong with it and just break/explode.
@Jones - no they don't. Premium *_analogue_* interconnects can make a huge difference, but HDMI carries pure digital signals, which can be perfectly reconstructed at the receiver end, irrespective of the cable used. Granted, if you have very long runs, you might get lower error rates on a "premium" cable, but over a typical <5m run, there should be a zero to negligible number of such errors introduced by poor cabling, certainly well within the error correction capabilities of the receiving device, so perfect bitstream reconsruction should remain possible.
Show me a report (from a reliable source) of a blind test where anyone could reliably distinguish a £1.99 HDMI cable from a £199 super-premium unobtanium-coated uber-cable and I shall happily retract that; until then, I'm not biting.
Oh, and if you're willing to believe a £200 digital interconnect can help your AV quality, I've got a Nigerian friend who has a business proposition for you. He said it was something about the emperor's new clothes being ready for collection.

Immediately after the best offensive player was signed off the free agent market, you'd think the second best offensive player would become a hot commodity. But since Zach Parise was signed by the Minnesota Wild, the calls haven't exactly come rolling in for Alexander Semin.
Though there are a few teams interested, no one is pursuing Semin nearly as aggressively as Parise and it's gotten nowhere near the media attention. Much of the reason teams are shying away from his is based off of a perception.
As skilled as he is (and the numbers speak for themselves), Semin has built up a reputation of being a bad guy to have in the locker room. That's a reputation that has stretched from players to analysts to fans.
With his reputation in mind, you can understand, to some degree, why teams aren't lining up to sign him. They don't want to risk the potential chemistry issues and an uprorar from fans that would accompany signing him, especially if they end up signing him to a long term deal.
But when you look at some of the clubs out there that are more stable, like the Detroit Red Wings or Pittsburgh Penguins, that have interest in Semin and have veteran leadership capable of handling a reported personality like Semin, you have to wonder why a guy capable of producing 80-plus points doesn't have a home yet.
Eventually, Semin is going to have a new contract somewhere. And I have to imagine it'll be in the NHL. If not, he likely would have already bolted for Russia on the $10 million/year offer he reportedly has to play in the KHL.
Character issues or not, it's difficult to understand how teams are willing to line up and sell half of their club for a guy like Rick Nash, who will continue to be greatly overpaid for the next decade, but not take a chance on a guy capable of putting up bigger point totals at a lower cost and a shorter term.
Someone is going to take a chance on Alexander Semin. And if his point totals so far in his career are any indication, he could end up a steal at this point and make a lot of teams regret not taking a longer look at trying to sign him this summer.

Main Circuit Breaker Question
I live in a 12 unit complex and have a question regarding the main electrical circuit breaker box located outside the apartment complex.
Inside all apartments and most homes, there is an electrical panel box which has switches, levers or for older places, cartridges that each control the power, oven, hot water and so on.
I wanted to know with the main circuit breaker located on the outside of my apartment complex, granted that these apartments were made in the 1970s. Irrespective, as I observed the main circuit breaker box on the outside of the apartment complex, I noticed a row of 12 or so cartridges next to one another. I wanted to know, could the electrical power to a single apartment be turned off from the main circuit breaker box located outside the apartment complex if one of these cartridges are removed?
Or better put, is it possible to turn the power off to a single apartment from the main circuit breaker box which would override the ability of the electrical panel located within that apartment to reinstate that power again?
The reason I bring this up is because I do remember an electrician knocking on my door saying that the power is going to be turned off for a few hours, how was he able to disable power without entering my apartment, did he simply remove the cartridge from the main circuit breaker located on the outside of the apartment complex?
Thank you for taking the time to read this, much appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all.
In the US it would be typical for an apartment complex to have an electrical room with switches that could turn off all power to each unit. There may also be 1-6 switches that could kill all the power to the building. These switches will typically be just inside the where the power comes into the building. Since these switches are ahead of your unit panel it would override the apartments panel.
Since there are more than 6 units there would typically be a main disconnect ahead of all the units feeder disconnects. He may have had to work on one of the other units feeders and had to shut off the main to do this work.
The only thing that might change this is if the units are fire-walled between them. Then each unit could have it's own main and there would be no need for a single main for the whole place. Each unit in a case like this is treated as a separate structure.

Series documents financial assistance approved by the county court for widows, mothers, dependent children, orphans, the elderly, and indigents. Information includes applicant name and address, children's names and birth dates, amount of pension or monthly support payment, and county court order. Because the provision of relief became primarily a state and federal function in the 1930s, records are inventoried through 1939.

text: Does the new Mini with HDMI simultaneously output audio through the HDMI and optical port if both are connected? I'm thinking about getting one to connect to the TV by HDMI and by Toslink to my receiver for use with Plex. However, I don't want to have to enable audio out the optical port whenever I decide to use the receiver for 5.1 decoding. The current Apple TV does this (along with audio out the RCA connections).

Why High Priced Oil Isn't Sparking InflationPallavi Gogoi
Why aren't high prices for oil and natural gas causing more inflation? Partly because other commodities aren't rising as rapidly--or are actually falling in price. Gold has lost its luster, grains are selling at decade-low prices, and cocoa is a third cheaper than it was last year. Even the bacon you bring home costs less to produce than it did a few years ago: Lean hogs are going for 60 cents a pound, down from over 80 cents in 1997.
Low prices for many commodities are tough on producers, who range from Midwest farm families to developing nations dependent on raw-material exports. But overall they're helping to keep inflation in check--and that's a boon for consumers.
Look, for example, at the widely watched Commodity Research Bureau index, which tracks prices of 17 commodities including heating oil, natural gas, sugar, coffee, orange juice, soybeans, silver, cotton, and cattle. Although the big jump in heating oil and natural gas prices has helped send the index up from a little over 180 in early 1999 to nearly 230 today, that leaves it near its average for the 1990s--and well below the levels of 1995 through 1997.
Better yet, the oil-driven rise in raw materials prices isn't getting passed along to consumers. According to the Labor Dept.'s Producer Price Index, prices received by producers of raw materials, including fuels, are up 16% from a year ago. But look farther down the supply chain: Prices received by makers of finished goods are up only 3.3% over the past year. The Consumer Price Index is up only 3.4% over the past year--and just 2.5% excluding the volatile food and energy categories.
There are several reasons for low commodity prices. For one, most commodity producers "don't have a market-distorting power like OPEC" to prop up prices, says Diane C. Swonk, chief economist at Bank One Corp. Without such cartel bottlenecks, producers get walloped when supplies flood the markets. For instance, lumber prices are at five-year lows. With the housing sector accounting for about 40% of lumber demand and housing starts softening, lumber inventories are growing. And the upside for industrial metals like copper, aluminum, and nickel is "modest at best," says William O'Neill, director of commodity research at Merrill Lynch & Co.
In the case of agricultural commodities, good weather and technological advances have produced bumper crops. The latest corn and soybean crops are, collectively, the biggest on record. Meanwhile, the strong dollar has dampened exports. That combination has depressed prices. "Net income from the sale of agriculture commodities [excluding government payments] is the lowest since 1984, when we had the last farm crisis," notes Keith J. Collins, chief economist at the U.S. Agriculture Dept.
BOON TO A FEW. The high cost of oil and low agriculture prices have been a double whammy for farm families, who haven't been able to pass along the costs of higher diesel that runs their tractors and harvesting equipment. But the low prices have been a boon for a select group of commodities companies such as Cargill Inc. and Archer Daniels Midland Co. "Considering consumers continue to pay about the same or more for the finished product, merchandisers and processors are the ones making a bigger margin," says Jim W. Miller, chief economist at the National Farmers Union in Washington.
In other words, lower prices on the farm don't translate directly into lower prices on supermarket shelves. "The transportation and packaging of a loaf of bread far exceeds the cost of the wheat that goes into making it," says James F. O'Sullivan, economist at J.P. Morgan & Co.
Still, the fact that farm goods and other commodities aren't rising apace with oil and natural gas is good news for the economy overall. Even if consumers are paying through the nose to fill their gas tanks and heat their homes, they aren't feeling the extra pinch.

Australia Goes Asian
By Russell Spurr; Russell Spurr, a journalist based in Sydney, Australia, is the author of ''Enter the Dragon: China's Undeclared War Against the U.S. in Korea, 1950-51.''
Published: December 4, 1988
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD garage is running a special on tires. Nothing unusual about that. Next week, perhaps, it will be batteries. What is unusual is that the sale signs are in Japanese.
''Why not?'' says our friendly pump attendant, grinning. ''Japanese are the only ones 'round here with any money.''
He looks approvingly at our imported Japanese car. ''There's so many of them 'round this suburb we don't call it Killarney Heights'' - the name dreamed up by Irish-Australian developers 20 years ago -''we call it Hiroshima Heights.''
The next car in line hoots impatiently. ''Chinese,'' says the attendant with a shrug. ''But they got money, too.'' He winks knowingly. ''You folks are from Hong Kong, I hear.'' Real-estate agents heard it loud and clear when my wife and I ended two decades of expatriate existence in the booming British colony and immigrated to Australia three years ago. Within the Sydney house-trading fraternity, Hong Kong is synonymous with money. Before we were shown our present home, its street number was changed from ''4'' to ''2A.'' Southern Chinese regard the number four as extremely unlucky; in Cantonese, ''four'' sounds like the word for ''death.'' On seeing we weren't Chinese, the agent asked whether we would like the number changed back, but we cautiously declined.
An upper-middle-income development, Killarney Heights lies conveniently close to the Japanese International School and a handful of prime golf courses. The ranch-style houses are fairly close together and sometimes surrounded by a wall, rather like a Beijing hutung, with an inner courtyard.
The Chinese ''like this sort of suburb,'' says Richard Corbett, director of a Sydney real-estate firm with an office in Hong Kong. ''They seem to react against the noise of Hong Kong by searching for something tranquil.''
Top real-estate agents sensitive to Chinese custom offer the services of feng shui experts. Armed with a small compass surrounded by mystic symbols, these men pronounce judgment on a property's location in accordance with geomantic belief. A site with a hill behind and water out front is considered particularly auspicious. No power pole should stand directly outside a house, because that might divide the family.
This time last year, so many Asians were roaming the choicer parts of Sydney and snapping up homes that the Government, worried about soaring property values, slapped a ban (which is still effective) on house sales to nonresidents at or above the million Australian-dollar mark, roughly equivalent to $800,000 in United States currency.
''Would you pay that kind of money?'' I asked a Japanese journalist.
''No sweat,'' he replied. ''A million Australian wouldn't buy me a brick chicken house in Tokyo. Matter of fact,'' he grew confidential, ''I've just paid twice that, cash, for a place in - ,'' naming an exclusive harbor-front suburb.
Almost outbidding the Japanese are the ''yacht people'' - the affluent Hong Kong Chinese busily bailing out of the British colony ahead of the Communist takeover in 1997. During 1986-87, they brought Australia nearly $2 billion (figures are in United States dollars) in badly needed foreign exchange.
Although Asians at present represent only 2.4 percent of the 16 million inhabitants of Australia, their economic and cultural influence far outweighs their numbers. Scores of Asian-owned businesses - from automobile plants to supermarkets and software companies -have come on stream during the last 10 years. Several decaying industrial suburbs have received the kiss of life from Asian entrepreneurs. So innovative have they proved, and so successful, that last year the Government introduced a migration scheme aimed at persuading business people, especially Asians, to bring their money and skills to Australia.
Priority visas have lately been given to Asians with middle-management experience. It is quite common these days to see Chinese (and, occasionally, Indians) running mainframe computers and heading departments in some of Australia's most prestigious banks and businesses.
Educating Asians has become an important source of national income. This year, some 25,000 Asians are paying full university fees (Australians get their college education for a nominal fee). Asian immigrants are also crowding into the professional schools -mainly law and medicine - carrying off three times more honors degrees per head than native-born Australians.
In the process, Asian art, music, literature and history are attracting Australian attention, and college-level enrollments in Asian studies have increased. Furthermore, a people whose cuisine was once described as ''English cooking, done badly'' now hanker after Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and Indian food. My favorite gardening magazine is currently teaching readers how to grow daikon radishes, lemon grass, choi sum (dwarf spinach) and abalone mushrooms.
''EVERY DAY, IT BECOMES CLEARER TO me that Australia's future lies in Asia,'' the political analyst Greg Sheridan wrote in 1984 in The Australian, one of the country's largest daily newspapers. ''The first task for all of us,'' he continued, is ''to know much more about the nations and the peoples who are our neighbors.''

cel fix advice
Every now and then my car refuses to start. No cranking, no noise, nothing. I keep trying and it eventually starts and throws a code for crankshaft position sensor malfunction. Now the cel is stuck on and its also throwing a code for heat 1 bank 1 whatever. Front o2 sensor is shot. I was planning on replacing my stock uppipe anyway so I was thinking I would buy a catless one without an o2 bung and do the resistor mod. I don't know if the crankshaft position sensor led to the o2 failure but recently I've been getting atrocious gas mileage, like it used a half of a tank to go about 60 miles. Anyone ever have a similar problem? Thanks.
Did you try cleaning your MAF sensor? Check your air filter? Spark plugs? Left unattended, those can also lead to poor gas mileage.

Also could be a bad O2 sensor telling the ecu your car has no air left and has it dump fuel to compensate... Change out the sensor and see if that helps.
replacing the o2 sensor this weekend hopefully. will definitely check/clean the intake system and plugs.
i have almost the same problems... my car wont start sometimes.. does the same thing.. and i have a check engine light. auto zone said it was the o2 sensor.. i need to get one too.. do you have any problems with jerky driving???
when my o2 sensor went three or four months ago my gas milage was horrible, and randomly would start bucking throughout my drive.
Might be a dumb question, but how long do O2 sensors normally last on WRX/STis - stock, partially, and/or fully modded? How many miles do you guys have on your cars?
