SYDNEY FC coach Frank Farina may have to make up to three changes to his starting line-up for Saturday's trip to face Newcastle, with Brett Emerton likely to be ruled out with injury.
Scans for Emerton's back problem have been delayed and he won't receive them until Wednesday. He has not trained so far this week.
It was in Newcastle last season that Emerton broke down during the first half. Having seen Emerton leave the field early in the 3-1 loss against Melbourne Victory last week, it is almost certain he will not play.
Emerton will join centre-half Tiago Calvano and left-back Fabio on the sidelines. Both players were shown two yellow cards against the Victory, meaning Farina will have to dig deep into his squad to find the necessary replacements. The most straightforward swap will be the inclusion Adam Griffiths for Calvano, with Griffiths finally regaining fitness after suffering from a knee injury that has kept him sidelined since the New Year's Eve clash against Adelaide United.
''The last injury was a knock on the knee and it was disappointing because I tried to play [against Adelaide] but wasn't right,'' Griffiths said. ''Now I've made sure it's right so it doesn't happen again.
''Hopefully I can kick on now and get some form coming into the finals. I'm feeling good, feeling sharp again, so I'm looking forward to the challenge.''
With the Sky Blues in the middle of a six-way scramble for the final two places in the top six, every game is crucial, especially when they come up another team fighting for a finals berth. ''I think it's been for a while now that we've needed to win most games, ''Griffiths said. ''This game is no different. Every game is important from here on in. I think every team in the league is beatable, and that's why it's such a good league.''
Griffiths came on in the second half against the Victory and praised Ange Postecoglou's side as the competition's benchmark.
''I don't think it was just the defence [that let Sydney down] - I think we weren't as strong as we were as a unit as we were against Wellington, but Melbourne are a much better team,'' he said. ''Full credit to them, they're a much better team [than us]. That's the level we have to get up to if we want to be competing in the finals.''
The change of coach from Ian Crook - who signed Griffiths - to new boss Farina hasn't been easy on the 33-year-old but he's confident they can work together.
''It's been a little bit difficult with a change of coach and new personnel and different partnerships all the time, but there's no real excuses,'' he said. ''We all just have to work together. We've got the majority of the team that's fit now, and we're starting to find some rhythm again and looking forward to the remainder of the season.
''It's been tough but very positive, and I find that our team has more of a unity and solidarity now. We're working well together here.''
The combination of Griffiths and his twin brother Joel was a mainstay of Newcastle during the early years of the A-League and the pair combined to lead the Jets to the 2007-08 title.
However, only the duo's younger brother, Ryan, is left flying the Griffiths's family flag in the Hunter, with Adam putting it bluntly: ''I'm going to get into him, that's for sure.
''It's always good to play against your old team, especially when you have good memories there,'' he said. ''The fans are always brilliant up in Newcastle; they've stuck by their team through good times and bad. But now I'm with the Sky Blues and everything's for them and we're wanting to beat Newcastle on Saturday.
''It's going to be a tough match. Both teams are fighting for the finals and looking to get the three points.''
Equally tough will be the threat presented by Jets striker Emile Heskey, who found his way back into the scoring charts in the 1-1 draw against Wellington Phoenix.
''He's a great player. He's strong - as you saw with that goal - the goalkeeper came out to get it and he bullied him into putting the ball into the back of the net,'' Griffiths said.

Digital cameras have been offering an increasingly attractive alternative to camcorders for a year or two now, particularly amongst video-making professionals. A season's finale of hit TV show House was famously shot on a fleet of Canon EOS 5D Mark 2 digital SLRs, and now many of the consumer-grade models can do a decent job recording video, putting increasing pressure on the much smaller camcorder market.
If your camera can grab decent footage, why purchase a second device? With the GC-PX10, it appears JVC has decided that if you can't beat them, join them. This may look like a digital camera, with an uncanny resemblance to Sony's NEX range, but lurking inside is a camcorder with a slight identity crisis.
JVC has relocated the battery from the main camera body to form a hand grip. With its traditional camera-style chassis, and shutter button sitting precisely where your forefinger would expect, the PX10 is pretty comfortable to use in stills mode. There's no viewfinder, which might annoy some, but the 3in LCD monitor is articulated so that a variety of shooting postures will be comfortable. The monitor can be flipped 180 degrees so that it points forwards, making self-portraits easy, although it won't angle downwards for above-the-head shots.
When shooting video, the record button is on the back, ready for pressing with your thumb like a regular camcorder, although the zoom rocker is located next to it, which is less orthodox. It's also quite hard to operate one-handed, as the hand grip doesn't feel entirely secure when you remove your thumb.
As a digital camera, the PX10's specification compares reasonably well with current super zooms. Its 1/2.3in CMOS sensor sports 12.75Mpixels, and is of the back-side illuminated variety so offers greater sensitivity than a regular CMOS. This allows stills shooting up to 12Mpixels, with a resolution of 4,000 x 3,000 in 4:3 mode. You can even shoot 3,840 x 2,160 resolution stills at the same time as recording video. All of these features compare very favourably with other camcorders, and are on a par with superzooms and other non-DSLRs - although they are a little behind compact system cameras sporting APS-C or Micro 4/3rds chips. The 10x optical zoom is also a little behind the top super zooms, but better than most compacts.
Hello, I have been for YEARS looking for a combo still and video corder device. I went to Bangladesh and New Zealand and bought a Panasonic HDC-SD80 after your review here http://www.trustedreviews.com/panasonic-hdc-sd80_Camcorder_review and an old Fuji F31FD as it had very good low light capability. Can you tell me, Trusted Reviews, can I FINALLY ditch both devices and suffer no compromise? The Panasonic had great image stabilisation and incredible zoom (not really bothered about that) and very good low light. I await your opinion as it's a pain carrying two devices all the time.
This looks like a very interesting device.
It ticks many boxes, including looking more like a camera than a camcorder and the ability to take both decent still and video simultaneously.
My primary concern is the lack of image stabilisation.
Does it also accept screw-on filters? I would like to use a skylight filter at all times as it helps protect the lens from accidental fingermarks.

When you see anything related to Pokémon, it's normally done in bright colors. Artist Ray Bruwelheide puts a different spin on the creatures though. He's illustrated an entertaining four page noir-style comic about the pocket monsters. The story takes an approach I haven't seen before with Pokémon, and I hope he continues to add more pages!

Bug #7031
Wrong ammo packed when choosing SD weapons
|Start date:
|Due date:
|% Done:
|Target version:
|Affected Version:
|Close Reason:
In many cases, when you choose a weapon that uses (for example) STANAG SD magazines, you will be supplied with STANAG magazines instead, and will have to replace them yourself.
Also a question. I remember reading that through scripting ACE made sure that the right magazine was loaded in certain situations, ie you might use the same STANAG mag in two rifles with different length barrels, but they would perform differently as the magazine had been changed invisibly. How does this apply to SD STANAG mags? E.g. does it make a difference if we use them or not?

SD mags are subsonic loads, so they don't produce a supersonic crack.
Note that in ACE, a silenced weapon will make it harder to spot and hear a shooter, even for the AI, when using normal ammo.
Updated by rocko over 7 years ago
Can someone check:
1 class SD_Weapon
2 {
3 magazines[] = { "non_sd","non_sd2","sd" };
4 };
Loads always non SD ammo, when picking up.
1 class SD_Weapon
2 {
3 magazines[] = { "sd","non_sd2","non_sd" };
4 };
Loads correct SD ammo, when picking up.
Updated by fireship4 over 7 years ago
Vking - what I meant was, if you load a non-SD STANAG into an M4A1 SD (or whatever) will it automatically transform into a SD mag invisibly? Therefore making no difference to the user what magazine he picks up?
Updated by Evil_Echo over 7 years ago
Recall the same issue in ACE1. The game engine does the default ammo selection, ACE has no direct choice on that. My best guess is that it has to do with picking the first item in some list. It may be alphabetical, how ammo was defined for that weapon, or order items were originally put in a crate.

Indeed SD (subsonic mags) are set not to be the first choice for suppressed versions. Afaik subsonic loads for AR15 are rarely if ever used, this is why normal ball ammo is chosen. Sys_magazines makes normal ammo 'suppressed' to AI when used in weapons with suppressors.
Updated by fireship4 over 7 years ago
And is there a greater amount of suppression if you use a proper SD mag in game?
Also, you said it makes normal ammo suppressed - but you should still hear the crack (and to be honest a loud bang - many suppressed weapons, even with subsonic ammo, are around 130 dB). Is this the case?

It won't change it into an SD mag, no.
A normal magazine fired from a silenced weapon would still produce a supersonic crack.
An SD mag is more silent, and doesn't produce a supersonic crack, but has a lower muzzle velocity and therefore less range and less damage.
AFAIK, you cannot change the fire sound of a weapon based on current magazine, so no matter what magazine you use it'll still have the same sound.

Yeah, subsonic ammo is less detectable for AI.

Updated by galzohar over 7 years ago
Considering how horribly ineffective the SD 5.56 ammo is, it's not a bad idea at all to have the default be regular 5.56 even in suppressed weapons, assuming ACE properly models its effects for AI (as in, if they somehow become aware by the supersonic crack but not easily spot the shooter when using normal ammo in SD weapons).
In any case, AFAIK when you have/don't have a suppressor your weapon's zero will change. Not sure how much, but that's something that might need to be taken into consideration if implementing this.

One of the oddities of current election betting is that punters do not seem to have seen the value in the odds available for Labour coming out with most seats. Given that applying the standard seat calculations to the shares in almost all the current polls gives a Labour lead on this measure you would expect the best prices to be between evens and 6/4. In fact you can get 9/2 at Bet365, SkyBet, Totesport and BoyleSport.
It is true that all this depends on the uniform national swing actually working in practice but if the polls are showing Labour within 4% or 5% then there must be a reasonable possibility that Gordon Brown's party would come top. The current odds look very attractive and well worth a punt. I am not saying that Labour will win most seats but that there is a better than 9/2 chance that they will do.

We've all seen the ads, and watched the videos: throngs of men, women, boys and girls laughing, smiling, carefree as they waggle their Wiimotes. It's an instant party!
GoLive2 Stix 200
Kids will learn valuable lessons about frugality and patience. Makes an excellent gag gift for that co-worker you don't like. Only needs 2 AA batteries.
Cradle doesn't charge the remote, or serve much purpose beyond holding the thing upright. Explaining to Grandma "No, this is not the same as a Wiimote. Yes I know it looks the exactly like it."
How We Rate
- 1/10A complete failure in every way
- 2/10Sad, really
- 3/10Serious flaws; proceed with caution
- 4/10Downsides outweigh upsides
- 5/10Recommended with reservations
- 6/10Solid with some issues
- 7/10Very good, but not quite great
- 8/10Excellent, with room to kvetch
- 9/10Nearly flawless
- 10/10Metaphysical perfection
But it's not for you, no. You're a hardened PC gamer. Or maybe you can't find a Wii. Or maybe you blew your paycheck on beer. Or at the track. Whatever the case, you need to get little Timmy and Sarah a quick gift so they'll stop crying themselves to sleep. Well, you're in luck. The Stix 200 will forever transform the way crappy flash games are played.
Nevermind what detractors say: Though it is a wireless remote, it's not a Wii knockoff. For starters, there's no console; only a USB cradle for wireless connectivity with a woefully short cord. There are no expensive, quality games to purchase either – just (some of) the flash games already available from popular web portals with a few Wowbotz-themed originals tossed in there, coupled with a plugin to make them Stix-friendly.
There's no need for a sensor bar either: instead of utilizing an optical sensor and accelerometer for precise control, a gyroscope attempts to detect the motion in the controller.
That means no waggling or active movement. Twist the Stix left or right, up or down, to mimic the arrow keys on a keyboard. A set of illuminated buttons adorns the front of the Stix and mimics the placement and function of those found on the Wiimote. But they're (get ready for it) touch sensitive with little nubs that help you find each one, so you can totally game in the dark.
It's not without faults. For starters, it's slightly larger than a Wiimote. The trigger button on the underside is flatter, so your finger can accidentally slide off during more intense flash sessions. Fortunately, there will rarely be any intense flash sessions. After several hours of sloppy game play, we came up with our own unique overarching meta-game: how to get precise movement with this thing? As of right now we're still trying to figure out how to make an avatar jump effectively.
If your kids have never seen or played a Wii, this just might fool them long enough to dismiss that gaming thing entirely, and go outside and read a book.

In the beginning of the year, Harvard Business Publishing launched a collection of online simulations as part of its curriculum that expose learners to real business situations and enforce essential corporate skills. Learning simulations are interactive models of real-life processes, events, or interactions that have distinctive learning outcomes. Users can manipulate variables that change the state of the model — they can make mistakes, learn from them, and try again — emulating a real "learning by doing" approach. With these online simulations, learners can engage in common business situations within realistic scenarios, and learn how to fine-tune their communication, analytical, and decision-making skills.
The first simulation, Universal Rental Car is a pricing simulation focused on teaching employees pricing skills in a managerial environment, as learners take on the role of regional marketing manager at a rental car agency, and are tasked with pricing rental cars in cities across Florida. Sample the Universal Rental Car simulation (login = user, password = user) for three rounds, and explore the Prepare, Analyze, and Decide tabs.

You've probably read plenty of articles in newspapers and other mainstream media, telling you how MMORPGs destroy lives or how gaming makes you a serial killer. What most people fail to understand is that when it comes down to it, MMORPGs (or video games in general) are just like any entertainment medium: you can either use it to better your lives, or completely ruin it – the choice is yours.
Here's the story of a couple who, driven by their love for MMORPGs, started a small hobby that grew into a means of livelihood, and eventually into a lucrative business!
I've met a lot of nice people while playing World of Warcraft and this humble couple was no exception – Justin and Joy are the joint owners/founders of the Ejeet Network, a successful guild hosting company that provides various game-related services to players for a small fee. I was curious to see what drove them into starting such a unique business, and I had a ton of questions on my mind; so I decided to go ahead and interview them. After all, it's always inspiring to read success stories about those who follow their passion. And Justin had some great advice on setting up an online business, so read on…
Me: Hi Justin, tell us a little about what you do for a living.
Justin: My wife (Joy) and I run a small-medium business that provides websites to video gamers; the service is really aimed at MMORPGs right now, but we plan to expand in the future.
Me: What kind of service do you offer, and for which games?
Justin: We offer exclusive guild websites for people from online games to be able to communicate with each other in a realtime environment, and a forum for leaving comments or game plans (for Raids etc.). Right now we offer direct support for World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online and Age of Conan. We do offer a hosting plan that supports any video game, but you'd have to design the site yourself in this case.
Me: Tell us a little about the different plans you have, and how much you charge.
Justin: Well, with our exclusive gaming plans that are tagged for games like (say) World of Warcraft, we offer clients a preloaded website that has everything they need built-in, without any intervention from their end. If the client requests something they feel is left out, we add that at no extra charge.
Right now our cheapest plan is $6.47 a month, which is a promotional plan for the launch of the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, which gives clients a real deal. Our most expensive plan would be WoW Xtreme, which is really loaded with features. This plan costs $14.87, and all plans are on a recurring payment.
Me: What does a guild get when they go for the overloaded plan?
Justin: With Xtreme guild hosting, the overloaded plan, consumers get a traditional webpage that is 100% themed to World of Warcraft, and a DKP system (which stands for Dragon Kill Points and is used for in-game loot distribution) that can be viewed outside of the game, on the website.
Next are our raid planners; with Xtreme you get phpraider, wowraidmanger, and Raid Planner for eqdkp. The raid planners let people sign up for raids outside of the game and allows for detailed planning and class roles to be fulfilled. Also some of these programs have addons that work in the game by pulling data from the website, so it's like a live uplink technology.
We have integrated our websites with Blizzards armory, allowing clients to use the armory directly from their site, so they can look up characters from their own site. They can also access their in-game bank, which acts as a team roster for the guild. Our licensed cPanel allows the user to control advanced aspects of the website, such as FTP connections, databases, web-based file managers, and more. The sky is the limit; there's nothing you can't do.

Plexiglass storm windows
I am trying to find anyone who is aware of a company that makes or a company that supplies plexiglass storm windows that fit into existing aluminum frames. I want them to cover the entire window and have the ability to raise the bottom portion for fresh air. These bottom portions would have screens over them.
Triple track aluminum storm windows can be ordered with safety glazing. It is required if they are adjacent to a doorway. Not knowing how your existing frames are configured, could you have the sash reglazed with safety glazing?
There are not a whole lot of storm window manufacturers still out there. I replaced a window in my home last year that had a storm window on it. The manufacturer was Gorell. Hope this helps
I do storm windows in my business. Between two different suppliers in my area I can order from five (5) different manufacturers, but- I have never seen any with pexiglass storm windows. The type you describe would be the single track to us, with only the bottom portion being movable, the top pane of glass would be rigid, both panes of glass would be safety glass, and the bottom half will have a screen. May I ask why you would want plexiglass in a storm window? Thanks, David

Helpline for domestic violence
A 24-hour free phoneline is being set up for victims of domestic violence, funded by the government and Comic Relief.
The national helpline, backed by Tony Blair and television presenter Davina McCall, starts operating next autumn and will offer support, information and translation services.
Its main aim is to reduce levels of homelessness caused by the family break-ups that domestic violence creates.
The helpline will be set up alongside an online database with information about professional services and refuge accommodation for victims.
The new service was launched at a Women's Aid venue in Hackney, north-east London, one of the two charities which will run the helpline, with Refuge.
Figures show domestic violence accounts for a quarter of recorded crime in England and Wales and is related to 16% of homelessness cases.
Hackney Women's Aid director Marai Larasi said: "Women should be able to access all services as quickly as possible.
"They should not have to be stuck in telephone boxes worried about their money going while trying to access help for domestic violence."
Chairman of the ministerial group on domestic violence, John Denham, said: "The difficulty women have had getting access to information has been a key problem."
He added that tackling domestic violence could have a "big impact" on bringing down crime rates.
The scheme was earlier endorsed by Big Brother presenter Davina McCall at a drop-in centre in King's Cross, central London.
"When they do find the courage to leave, it can be difficult to find somewhere safe for children and themselves."
Prime minister Tony Blair was also at the Field Lane Family Centre in King's Cross to back the government initiative.
He took the opportunity to support his wife Cherie over her links with convicted fraudster Peter Foster.
Last month the Conservative party launched a campaign to highlight the "hidden" problem of domestic violence over Christmas, by distributing 10,000 posters advertising violence helplines.
Caroline Spelman, shadow minister for women, welcomed the government move but warned that a "fully co-ordinated response" was needed to tackle the root causes.

Have Volvo Questions? Ask a Volvo Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi, thank you for asking your question today. The other Experts and I are working on your answer. By the way, it would help us to know:-What year is your Volvo? -What make and model is your Volvo? -How many miles are on your Volvo?-What type of engine is in your Volvo?-What have you already tried?
-What codes are in the system? Please list each one.Thank you again for trusting us with your problem. Please reply as soon as possible so that we can finish answering your question.
02 S40 1.9 turbo. 108K miles. I got a code PO107 and a PO101. I replaced the MAP sensor. I bought one new one and tried it in both locations and still get the same code. Is replacing the MAF sensor the next logical step?
I don't know what more to say than what I've already written. To sum up once again. Check engine light is on. OBD reader says PO107 as the main fault with Po101 as potential faults. Yes, replaced the boost sensors. I bought one new one. I tried it on the intercooler first. No fix. I tried it on the manifold next. No change. Still have check engine light and still get the same readings on the computer. Wife says the car "hesitates" when she tries to turn it over. I noticed it died out once at idle when I replaced the boost sensor.
No, faults never cleared. Using CAR MD which is a piece of junk but it is what I bought. It won't clear faults it just reads what the computer tells it. It has PO107 as the "failure code" and P0101 as "Potential Failure" Codes. the CAR MD trouble shooting says change the boost sensor. Unfortunately, if that doesn't fix it, CAR MD can't tell you anything else. There is no way to continue to trouble shoot. I read about the MAF by reading stuff on-line. It did not change after I replaced the boost sensor. I took a second reading after putting the new boost sensor in the intercooler and got the same exact reading as the initial. I swapped the boost sensor to the manifold location and got the same exact reading.
I had to go to church anyway. I'll wait for you to reply thanks for sticking with it.
Since my CAR MD won't clear the fault to reset the system. Is there another way to do it?

Jared Loughner was indicted on 49 additional charges stemming from the Tuscon shooting that killed six and wounded 13, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
The new charges are for crimes against all victims at Giffords' constituents meeting, rather than just the five who were federal employees, The Arizona Republic explains.
The indictment includes murder charges in the deaths of U.S. District Judge John Roll and Giffords' staffer Gabe Zimmerman. Loughner, 22, had been indicted on three federal charges related to wounding Giffords and two other aides.

|Proper firing order for 1.3L 1995 Geo Metro?; Need help, where to plug in on distributor cap?

Hello, I recently got a 1.3L I4 1995 Geo Metro but it was in really bad shape. The spark plug wires weren't even intalled and broke apart when I pulled them off the spark plugs. Now I bought new spark plug wires but am a bit confused as to where to plug them in on the distributor cap. Where do I plug them in? I found a firing order on Google but am not sure if it's right, see picture.

Why you Mutt!
Worst comes to worst...just hook up #1. Try the starter. If it kicks back, backfires, etc., you have the wrong spot on the distributor. Move the wire on the distributor and try again. If it tries to start, or actually does start, you've found #1.
Old trick from the '30s or maybe before...learned it from my dad...always worked for me...

Sorry Amina55, I tried all of my favorite shopping sites and even did a google shopping search - no luck! If you live by an outlet, you may want to try looking in the adidas store there, I found the jacket awhile ago so it might be in the outlets now. Good luck!

Central Montcalm makes an offer on its top job
STANTON — The Central Montcalm Board of Education began a long Wednesday evening by interviewing — for a second time — three men for the position of superintendent.
Four hours later, they ended with an offer to Charles Muncatchy, the former superintendent of Jalen Rose Leadership Academy.
The board posed nine questions to Coopersville High School Principal Peter Bush, former Pittsford Area Schools Superintendent Andrew Shaw and Muncatchy.
"We started with a pool of 20, brought it down to six qualified candidates, and now down to three," said Board President Roxanne Switzer. "Any one of the three would do a good job."
The three candidates answered questions on leadership style, prioritizing, mentoring and professional goals for the next five to 10 years.
"I want to be a superintendent; it would be the next stepping stone in my leadership role," said Bush, regarding his goals. "I'd be here to stay for at least the next five to 10 years. I've got another 12 to 15 years left in my career."
Shaw's reply was a two-part answer, concentrating on setting up an individual plan for each student and continuing his own education by earning a doctorate of education from Michigan State University.
Muncatchy was more specific.
"I'd like to be superintendent of Central Montcalm schools," he answered with a grin, "I'm finishing up my career. I'd like to reside here, I don't want to be a commuter, but part of the fabric of the community here."
Following the interviews, the board heard from a representative of a 13-member student panel that met with the candidates prior to their interviews.
The students felt Bush set the bar high, Shaw not as much, but Muncatchy stole the show.
The six board members then ranked the candidates with a one, two or three. Of the six board members present, Bush garnered one first and three seconds, Shaw earned two firsts and Muncatchy placed with three firsts and three seconds.
The board then discussed the pluses and minuses of each candidate.
"To me, it comes down to Peter or Chuck," Trustee Mark Grossbauer said. "Peter is more cutting edge and knew technology better, but Chuck is a true leader who would command respect, and would be a mentor for our new principals. I vote for Chuck."
Trustee Bill Simpson agreed.
"Chuck is the most educated, the most experienced, and had a humble tone," said Simpson. "I think he would be more of a team player."
The board also read over comments about the candidates submitted by the 30-member audience, a mix of school personnel and community members. Their opinions were split.
"No matter who we pick, someone is not going to be happy," Grossbauer noted.
After more discussion, Trustee Mike Barnwell made a motion to offer the position to Muncatchy, with Grossbauer seconding. A roll call vote of 6-0, with Trustee Bill Collins absent, passed. Muncatchy's acceptance then led to a 6-0 vote from the board to work on negotiating a contract.
The board will reconvene to vote on accepting the contract once both parties agree, according to Switzer.
"Our plan was to have the new superintendent in place by Sept. 1, in part to let the candidate wrap up things in his current district," said Switzer. "Since Chuck doesn't have to do that, maybe we could get him in sooner. But that will all have to be worked out in the contract."

I read the first volume of Runaways and only read Avengers Academy tie-ins to the few major events that were going on throughout its respective run. For me, Avengers Arena is fresh and the fact that I am not as familiar with the cast of characters doesn't have me as emotionally attached as some of these readers. And it's not like Arcade is killing off MAJOR characters. Some of the comments I have read on the reviews for the book have been unfair and lazy. The reason I say lazy is because a lot of cats that comment on review posts don't even read the book.

This book is pretty much everything that's wrong with comics.
This is the weaksauce I am talking about. No class. I seriously doubt this title is everything that is wrong in comics. If ANYONE thinks these deaths are permanent: read more comics and stop basing opinions off of shoddy reviews(no offense).
I love comics.

Delaware Park is the centerpiece of a city-wide parks system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The park is a green haven in the city offering meadows, gardens, trails, Delaware Lake, the Buffalo Zoo, and recreational facilities. In the summer it hosts "Shakespeare in the Park," the second largest open-air Shakespeare festival in the country.
Adjacent to Delaware Park is Forest Lawn Cemetery. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the cemetery is known for its park-like beauty and outstanding examples of memorial sculpture. Many 19th & 20th century notables, including Civil War generals, famous inventors, and others, are buried here. President Millard Fillmore and Seneca Chief Red Jacket are among these. (See also: the Nation's Best Historic Places to Visit; Forest Lawn Cemetery).
Temple Beth Zion is a contemporary architectural monument featuring stained glass by Ben Shahn.
The Pan-American Exposition (1901) was sited on the Western/Northern end of the Delaware neighborhood.

Perhaps there is some magic in the air, or Motorola is conducting a soak test that has not been publicized. No matter what you believe, it seems that at least two Verizon customers have already had their Motorola Moto X updated to Android 4.4.2.. Motorola has said that such an update is on the way, one that will address some known issues with Android and also help repair a battery drain that is munching away on the handset's battery life.
If you are a Verizon subscriber sporting the Motorola Moto X, and by some miracle you are running Android 4.4.2, let us know by dropping us a few lines about your experience with the phone post-update. That is, after you buy a ton of lottery tickets for this week's drawing.

IndyCar's Simon Pagenaud to Pilot 500-HP Honda Odyssey at Pikes Peak
Last week's Detroit IndyCar winner, Simon Pagenaud, will be climbing into a Honda Odyssey for the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
Honda is bringing a record-setting 11-vehicle, nine-class effort to this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and this will be the first time Pagenaud has competed in the Race to the Clouds. The turbocharged minivan will pack over 500 hp and was originally developed for competition by associates at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama.
The Odyssey is powered by a modified 3.5-liter, V6 engine with a Garrett GT35R turbocharger. The powerplant is mated to a six-speed transmission with limited-slip differential from the Acura TL. It'll be competing on 19-inch BBS wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires in the Exhibition category.
Pagenaud was last year's IndyCar Series Rookie of the Year and the 29-year-old Frenchman is currently fifth in the drivers' championship standings.
Other cars competing for Honda at this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb include a first-generation NSX, a TL SH-AWD, a CR-Z, and a Honda Fit EV.

When Eric Ries was still at university, he set up his first company, Catalyst Recruiting. It was a platform through which college students could create and share their profiles. Sound familiar?
Ries's company was geared towards getting students jobs once they graduated. He had a beautiful business plan with census data, market research, complicated models and strict customer acquisition budgets. After selling the idea to all his friends and family and doing interviews with his student newspaper proclaiming to be the Next Big Thing, the company failed. His problem was he didn't know who his customers were. What he did in this case was "achieve failure", which he describes as being so focused on executing a plan that you don't stop to work out if it's a good plan or not. The solution, he discovered, was to adopt an approach that stems from lean manufacturing in Japan and apply it to entrepreneurship.
Wired.co.uk caught up with Ries while he was in London promoting his book The Lean Startup, in which he details the methodology he has developed. We talked about embarrassing failures, the stupidity of releasing vanity metrics to the press and how to avoid getting complacent after securing funding.
Wired.co.uk: Can you first of all explain what you mean by a "lean startup"?
[partner id="wireduk"]Eric Ries: The idea comes from concept of lean manufacturing, which started in Japan. It's fundamentally about learning the difference between which activities in a corporation are value-creating and which are wasteful. We want to apply that same framework to the process of entrepreneurship. The problem with entrepreneurship is we are often working really hard producing high quality products that no-one wants. The creation of stuff is not valued. We are trying to come up with an alternate understanding of what creates value in a startup. The thesis is validated learning: learning how to create a sustainable business. We need to reengineer companies to focus on figuring out who the customer is, what's the market and what kind of product you should build.
Wired.co.uk: You talk a lot in your book about iterating. How do you know in which direction to iterate?
Eric Ries: That's the big question. Most companies are busy making their products worse, not better. Updating is almost always a disaster. We know at some level that the odds of getting a product better than the one we had before are very low. So we are trying to put in place an accounting framework with lots of mechanics relating to how you do split testing and other experimentation to see if customers behave in a more positive way after the change or before.
Wired.co.uk: Accounting? There wasn't much of that in The Social Network?
Eric Ries: It's such a boring topic, I feel bad. Entrepreneurship is supposed to be so cool and exciting. But if you imagine an internal startup in a big corporation, there's always an outside stakeholder from whom the entrepreneur has to ask for funds, resources and time from. Fast-forward a year and you can tell that the money is gone and that everyone was busy, but if we are honest we probably didn't achieve the massive results they promised. The entrepreneur at this point would say that they learned so much and that they just need another $5 million and another year. That's when most entrepreneurs get fired or the VCs pull the plug. We like to make fun of those CFOs, accountants and VCs who aren't creative and don't understand, but if you look at it form their point of view, they literally cannot tell if you spent the last year on the brink of success or goofing off. If you were goofing off and doing nothing, you've still got zero customers. The vanity metrics, the gross numbers are the same in success and failure with startups. That's to me is an accounting paradigm breakdown. We can't tell if you are the next Facebook or a complete failure. We are holding entrepreneurs accountable to the wrong milestones.
Wired.co.uk: You talk a lot about vanity metrics or the 'stuff companies put into their press release to make their competitors look bad.' How harmful can that be?
Eric Ries: Companies love to put them out, because it makes them look good and doesn't reveal anything true about their business. If it did, they wouldn't give it out. Why the press prints these lies is for another day… But they can become very dangerous. Your employees read the same press as your competitors and they start to believe the same spin that you put out. That's very dangerous because the vanity metrics go up and everyone thinks it's because of what they were working on at the time. When the numbers go down, then it's somebody else's fault. Not only do people not like each other, they do not agree on the facts. You are setting yourself up for a mess. Instead of producing success theatre, take that energy and put it into actually delivering something good for your customers.
Wired.co.uk: Do budding entrepreneurs get dazzled by the success of Facebook and Twitter?
Eric Ries: Yes, especially the way it's been portrayed in media. People watch the movieThe Social Network and it can lead to bad things. I've been the beneficiary of this phenomenon as much as anyone. I can't say I'm not grateful to have journalists writing about me as a genius. But I know it's not true. I'm not confused. I understand that success comes through a lot of failure and a lot of very embarrassing failure. People want to create the next Facebook, but they are too afraid to create the next Facemash.
Can you imagine going back in time to Mark Zuckerberg's dorm and telling him "Listen, Mark… you've got to be more visionary. Stopping messing around with farm animals." If you did you wouldn't have Facebook today. Launching a startup is boring and embarrassing. Entrepreneurship is really not cool.
Continue reading 'Interview: Eric Ries, Author Of The Lean Startup'
Wired.co.uk: What's your biggest business embarrassment?
Eric Ries: By far the most embarrassing is the first one, Catalyst Recruiting. I like to tell people I had the experience of the first half of The Social Network. I started it in my dorm at college. We had a great idea, which was that college students should create online profiles for the purpose of sharing. That turned out to be a pretty good idea. But our idea was to do that in order to help them get a job.
The reason it's so embarrassing because in the movies, the startup always has a plucky protagonist and when they start out everyone tells them they are crazy, but the movie is satisfying because they end up proving everyone wrong. But in real life, those people more often than not are right. So the most embarrassing thing is having to go back to those people and tell them they were right. I had hired all my friends and sold them this vision, people had dropped out of school to join the company but I had to tell them that I was sorry and the stock options were worthless. It's just humiliating.
I found some student newspaper where I'd been interviewed as an up-and-coming CEO where I'd made some ridiculous claims about us being the next big thing and this is particularly painful for me because I was such an arrogant idiot. If I had been successful, the story would have been rewritten to make me look like a genius, like it is for… I won't name any names.
Wired.co.uk: Does getting funding prove to be detrimental to the company?
Eric Ries: Startups can die from too much and too little funding almost equally. The root cause of that problem is that people confuse funding with validation. I really don't like it when startups celebrate raising money. If you raise money on the basis of your results, then celebrate the results, not the fundraising. If you raise money based on your winning personality then don't kid yourself that it's an accomplishment. As long as you aren't confused about what raising money means, it's good. The day after you've raised money is the day you should be maximally nervous because you've added a stakeholder who needs an order of magnitude return. It should be more of an anxiety dream than a celebration. If you keep that fear you can maintain the discipline to spend that money well.
Wired.co.uk: Which companies you would like to get your hands on?
Eric Ries: I just got an enquiry from RIM, who make BlackBerry, and I'm very curious to see what that's going to be like because from the outside they really look like they are struggling, but they have so much potential and so many loyal customers it seems as though the opportunity is ripe for transformation. That's how I feel about pretty much all big companies.
Wired.co.uk: Which business leaders inspire you?
Eric Ries: I've been really lucky to meet a lot of the people I have looked up to. Kent Beckfrom Agile [a lightweight software development approach] actually attended a webinar I did randomly. You see chat flying by because there were a thousand people in this webinar and I see out of the corner of my eye "Kent Beck says" and I am literally delivering a critique of Agile in the webinar. And I had to stop and ask "wait, was that THE Kent Beck?" and he was so friendly and open minded and sincerely intellectually interested in what I had to say. Mitch Kapor, the founder of Lotus, has also been really supportive.
Wired.co.uk: Who hasn't lived up to expectations?
Eric Ries: Other people have been complete assholes. There's one person who I admire so much, whose work has been very influential to me and on three separate occasions we've been at some function together where we've been speaking and he's gone out of his way to call me stupid. Once we were in a roundtable discussion where someone important was coming to learn about Silicon Valley. Everyone is being very cordial to each other but we are all trying to show off and I get two sentences into what I'm saying and he's like "that's stupid", interrupting me. The first time it happened I thought "Oh, whatever," and then it happened again! Every time I would go an try and talk to him but he won't meet with me, won't talk to me and I have no idea why. I've obviously done something to really annoy him, but I've never met the guy. It's so frustrating.

Fareed Zakaria gives an overview of how the recently-deceased Margaret Thatcher changed the world's economies:
Consider the world in 1979, when Thatcher came to power. The average Briton's life was a series of interactions with government: Telephone, gas, electricity and water service, ports, trains and airlines were all owned and run by the state, as were steel companies and even Jaguar and Rolls-Royce. In almost all cases, this led to inefficiency and sclerosis. It took months to get a home telephone line installed. Marginal tax rates were ferociously high, reaching up to 83 percent. [Read more…]

text: As a part of the EU harmonisation process, Czech Republic has successfully brought its energy sector standards in line with those of the EU. There is also an on-going debate regarding a decrease in the country's dependence on solid fuels as a primary energy source. Energy Regulatory Authority, which began operating in 2001, is responsible for setting the distribution/ transmition part of the energy prices and for establishing framework for third party access to the electrical grid. Pressure to liberalise the sector and to split up vertically integrated companies has been apparent particularly in the case of power plants. Sustainable development discussions and geopolitical influences create pressure to increase the efficiency of energy processes. In relation to that, there has also been an effort to use alternative energy sources, which in the Czech Republic has had a tradition in the form of small hydropower plants. Together with solar and wind power and the use of biomass, these energy sources represent options for growth.

When Newcastle were struggling in January, we brought in five new Frenchmen, and it was always asking a lot of the new lads, to pull Newcastle to safety, and it was difficult to say the least for Debuchy, Sissoko, Gouffran, Yanga-Mbiwa and Haidara, but each one of the new signings helped Newcastle survive in the Premier League last season, although it was far too close for comfort. 🙁
Yohan Cabaye – in action at Blackpool last weekend
But we now expect all five players to be much better, now they have been bedded in and can even speak some English, and already in pre-season we've seen Debuchy, Sissoko, Gouffran and Yanga-Mbiwa play well.
And it's looking like 20 year-old French U21 International left back Haidara could be loaned out to get some first team playing time next season – maybe even to a Premier League side.
Yohan Cabaye is Newcastle's vice-captain, and he talked about the new arrivals today in the Mail:
"When you sign for a team in January, it's never easy to change from a different league and a different country, moving club is usually difficult enough." "When you change country you have to make sure of a lot of things."
"Firstly, you must understand how the team plays. Plus the Premier League is very different from France and Ligue 1." "The first few games from them were good, and we won a few."
"Then came the difficulties with the Europa League and Premier League and trying to balance it out." "Now they are part of the family. They are more confident in themselves and can speak English."
"They have worked very hard, and are ready to do their jobs on the pitch." "It's helped me." "I've only been working for two weeks, but I feel prepared for the new season and want to work hard."
"We are working harder in training – harder than last season." "For us, that's better. On the pitch that has made us more confident to make runs." "That will help us compete with the other teams next season. It is all very positive."
There have been no offers this summer for Cabaye yet, and it looks like Monaco have cooled their interest, but if Manchester United fail to get Cesc Fabregas in from Barcelona this summer, we suppose it's always possible they could come after Cabaye.
PSG could also do the same, with new manager Laurent Blanc publicly saying he was interested in the French player, and Alan Pardew objected to Blanc going public about a Newcastle player, and that at the same time Alan said Newcastle were interested in Remy, Gomis and Bent. :D.
But so far so good, and when Cabaye plays well, Newcastle play well, and we have a growing confidence this lad will still be at Newcastle come September.
And it could be that we have Remy and Gomis on board soon too, and that will mean we will have signed seven Frenchman this year.
No wonder the French media follow Newcastle's affairs very closely, and we could have a many as six players in the French World Cup squad next summer, if we get Gomis and Remy through the door, with the other four being Cabaye, Debuchy, Sissoko and Ben Arfa.
And there's even an outside chance that Yoan Gouffran and Sylvain Marveaux could force themselves into consideration too, and both were impressive for the Magpies last season.

Back in the Eighties, if you were lucky (or rich) enough to own a 'mobile' phone, you had to put up with being the butt of a joke or two. Mobiles back then looked more like pieces of military hardware than the ubiquitous consumer product they are today. But despite the inevitable shrinkage that phones have undergone over the past 20 years or so, small is not always better, and there are plenty of reasons to have a big phone. A big phone might be difficult to slip into a pocket, but you can have a lovely large screen. And while a brick might not look particularly stylish when clamped to your ear, it gives the manufacturer the opportunity to include a generously-sized keyboard.
And that's why I'm always prepared to give phones such as Toshiba's Portégé G910 the time of day. While others may pooh-pooh its gargantuan proportions - it measures 117 x 64 x 19.8mm and weighs a hefty 183g - the size has major advantages. First, it happens to have a very good keyboard. Like its predecessor, the G900, it won't slip into a tight jeans pocket without the risk of injury, but you will be able to tap out emails and texts quicker than you can on most phones, and even carry out the odd document edit without too much of a headache.
Each of the keys is large, well-proportioned, and has a good, positive click, so you're absolutely certain when you've typed a letter on it. It's also good to see that the full stop has its own dedicated key (you don't have to use the function button to access it) and that there's a well-sized space key - two things not all phone keyboards can boast.
Second, it has a great screen. As with all Windows Mobile Professional devices it's a touchscreen and here, because of the size of the device, it's generously large too. In fact its 3in diagonal and high 800 x 480 resolution is among the best I've seen on any smartphone, bettering the excellent screen on the Eten Glofiish M800 and X800 phones, and it means you can fit an awful lot of Internet browser, Word document and emails on screen at once.

Managing editor Kristin van Ogtrop tackles these individual meatless pizzas from our Month of Dinners feature.
What You Need
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for the baking sheets)
- all-purpose flour (for the work surface)
- 1 pound pizza dough (at room temperature)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 8 ounces mozzarella (grated; about 2 cups)
- 4 ounces cremini mushrooms (thinly sliced)
- &
Follow These Steps
Heat oven to 425° F. Brush 2 large baking sheets with oil.
Prep the ingredients: Thinly slice the mushrooms and the onion.
On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into four 8-inch rounds and place on the baking sheets.
Dividing evenly, top the rounds with the marinara sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, and onion; season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, just until the crust begins to brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the greens with the vinegar, the 2 tablespoons of oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Carefully crack an egg on top of each pizza and return to oven. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the egg whites are set, 5 to 7 minutes.
Serve with the pizzas. Get the full recipe for Mushroom and Egg Pizzas.

5 1 1
This original recipe won me first prize in a local sandwich contest. Sometimes I'll use hazelnut bread instead of whole wheat to add to the nutty flavor.
Recommended: Grandma's Best Suppers
- 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
- 1 tablespoon onion soup mix
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted, optional
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 16 slices fully cooked ham
- 4 lettuce leaves
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, chilies and soup mix until smooth. Add cheese and nuts if desired; mix well. Evenly spread on four slices of bread; layer each with four slices of ham and one lettuce leaf. Top with remaining bread. Yield: 4 servings.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
If you've run through the menu at your local taqueria a few dozen times and think your burrito tour has made you an expert in Mexican food, it's time to get cozy with Silvana. The focus here is seafood, and we don't mean fish tacos: Chef Antonio Brodziak takes his classical Mexican culinary training and gussies it up in contemporary trappings via New York, where he worked with Richard Sandoval at Tamayo. Specials from Brodziak's rotating menu, like sea bass with roasted corn and tamarind, tuna with tomatillo and mango chutney, adobo-marinated yellowtail, and salmon served with warm pico de gallo and black bean sauce, are priced between $17 and $22.95 and served by big, raven-haired Mexican boys whose smiles could melt a block of queso fresco. It's all buttery, beautiful, and sensually revelatory, but Brodziak's camarones Silvana ($18.95), grilled shrimp drizzled with pitch-black calamari ink and arranged around a sigh-inducing masa cake stuffed with black bean paste, is enough to make serious diners consider permanent relocation to West Boca. And you know, that's high praise.
Maybe he lasted only five episodes on The Apprentice, but Brent Buckman, South Florida's own would-be Trumpster, knows comfort food better than most. Buckman, the portly guy with a penchant for irritating Apprentice teammates with his pushy, plow-through-walls approach, has delved deep into the food dimension. He did this both before his appearance on the show, and he has done it after. Buchman's earlier food explorations gave him that soft, endearingly blimpy figure. His later ones helped him lose 64 pounds. The secret, Buckman says, is his patented "four bagel diet." One bagel for each daily meal and a snack (sometimes with low-fat margarine, sometimes with an eight-ounce portion of sliced meat). Stick to the diet and watch the pounds fade away, he says. (Well, there's the diet and there's also a rigorous schedule on the treadmill.) How do you keep up, week after week, a gruelingly monotonous routine of bagels-bagels-bagels? You have to give yourself a once-a-week treat, the Toronto-born lawyer says. For that, Buckman goes to his favorite restaurant, the Outback Steakhouse on Pine Island Road in Plantation. Keep your Tandoori baked pheasant morsels or Peruvian cui au gratin served on sautéed escarole, Brent says. He'll take Outback's Aussie cheese fries, a messy mixture of gooey yellow cheese and fried potatoes. If he's feeling especially decadent, he throws some bacon chips on top and dips each forkful into a bowl of ranch dressing. "The best cheese fries on the planet," Buckman says with ill-concealed longing. "My goodness, they're to die for."
If you want to hustle through your huaraches, thick, fried tortillas stuffed with barbecued goat (two for $7.99), forget it. Be prepared to linger over chips still sizzling from the fryer with two kinds of fresh salsa (green tomatillo and tomato) while -- on weekends, anyway -- a roving band of trumpet players and guitarists serenades your table. Kick back with a beer (you don't really need to go back to work, do you?), reset your watch to slow time, and sample from a foodie's dream menu of delicious if challenging meats to pack into your tacos. Roast pork, fried beef tripe, pork stomach, beef tongue, spicy pork sausage, beef head, stuffed green peppers, pork in red pepper sauce, fish, shrimp, and vegetarian fillings are priced from $1.69 for a single soft taco to $6.99 for the fanciest burrito -- to eat with the seven different bottles of hot sauce on every table and your choice of corn or flour tortillas. Heartier appetites will warm to seven kinds of dinner soups (sieta mares is $13.99), chicken in mole ($8.99), roast quail ($10.99), enchiladas ($9.99), chimichangas ($8.99), and fajitas ($10.99). Cactus and eggs ($3.99) and huevos rancheros ($3.99) are served all day from the breakfast menu. Nobody speaks a word of English, so if you're linguistically challenged, break out your high school Spanish or be prepared to grunt and point.
You're not cheap; you're just smart. And far-seeing. You know how to stretch a nickel till it howls for mercy. Let the grasshopper detonate his wad on some so-called "prime" or "kobe," along with the $9 sides of creamed spinach and the $15 martinis and crme brlées. Come winter, that overgrown cricket'll have his frozen jaws fused together anyway -- you can bet he's not going to be chowing down on steak -- he'll be lucky to be sucking ice water through a straw! While you, my precious, my practical ant, will be crawling in a straight line right to Beef Eater, with all your little buddies, for another plate of $16 skirt steak doused in chimichuri sauce, and maybe a couple of fried eggs on top -- a piece of meat easily enough for two meals... and damned delicious too! And that $15 bottle of wine waiting for you on the table -- go ahead and open it. Open two, in fact, and keep 'em coming. Nothing goes down with a bottle of red better than a little schadenfreude.
Short of having an actual band of winged seraphim fluttering over that perfect plate of risotto while strumming harps and singing hymns, it's hard to imagine how a meal at Serafina could be any more heavenly. This delicious, romantic retreat in Victoria Park, settled down by a glimmering harbor on the Middle River with jaunty candlelit tables on the outdoor deck and a series of warm, intimate nooks inside, is technically an Italian restaurant. But you'd never know it from the menu. Owner/chef Shari Woods' palate is so imaginative, so all over the map, drawing on influences from the American Southwest (smoked corn soup), the South of France (foie gras paté), the coasts of Spain (rich seafood paella), and the distant deserts of the East (spicy Moroccan tagine), that it's probably safer to call this cuisine Worldly Wise. And then there's the way the menu keeps changing depending on whim and season. Still, you'll have other issues to ponder besides how to classify those luxurious boneless, slow-cooked short ribs in their caramelized wine reduction. You're more likely to be fretting over which wine to choose from Woods' interesting list or frantically calculating what percentage of your annual income you can absolutely afford, if you give up the Netflix subscription and the chess club membership, to devote to return visits.

PALM BEACH VIDEO: Organizers see signs of serious buyersPosted on
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. In a slow and steady comeback, the marine industry has seen an uptick in new-boat and brokerage sales as serious buyers have replaced the tire-kicking show-goers of the last few years, the CEO of Show Management told marine journalists on Thursday, the opening day of the Palm Beach International Boat Show.
"I'm very optimistic about the industry," Efrem "Skip" Zimbalist III said at a media briefing and breakfast where about 100 people gathered to hear the "Signs of Strength in the Marine Industry."
"If you walk the docks at this show and others, there is more seriousness about buying by the attendees. We saw a lot of sales at the [Yacht & Brokerage Boat Show in Miami Beach]. We had a half-dozen to a dozen of our exhibitors issue press releases about how many boats they sold at the show."
Click play for a look at the show.
In fact, some exhibitors, heading into the Palm Beach show, were scrambling to assemble boats for the show because they had sold their inventory at the Miami event, Zimbalist said.
"That's certainly a good 'problem' to have," he said. "I think there is a renaissance in boat sales. The buyers are there and they expect the latest innovation, the latest technology, and they expect a great deal. And those companies that are providing that are experiencing great sales."
The 27th annual Palm Beach show, which runs through Sunday, features hundreds of boats, including 8-foot dinghies, runabouts, fishing boats and megayachts exceeding 150 feet. The show is one of the top 10 boat shows in the nation and it presents more than $350 million worth of boats, yachts and accessories.
Aiming at mobile communication
The media briefing was held by Active Interest Media, which owns Show Management and a number of marine magazines. The event also marked the formal introduction of AIM's marine group of media organizations, publications and websites.
"Over the past eight months we have been able to bring together eight of the leading marine media brands and organizations, which include Show Management, Yachts International, BoatQuest, Passagemaker and their TrawlerFest, Soundings and Soundings Trade Only, and more recently Power & Motoryacht and Sail magazines," said Andrew Clurman, AIM president and chief operating officer.
Combined, that group reaches almost 6 million monthly readers and has almost 28 million page views a year, and the boat shows attract more than 350,000 people to the six shows that Show Management produces, Clurman said.
"So each of these brands and combined teams of over 100 show and media pros are all dedicated to one central mission giving boat owners and buyers the information they need to pursue their passions with confidence," Clurman said. "And this is an industry where there is a lot to learn."
The marine group will focus on communicating with boaters and the industry through advancing technologies especially social media, mobile media and iPad or tablet media, Clurman said. Two billion people worldwide now use the Internet, one in five people worldwide logged on to a social network in the last month and 11 percent of the U.S. population is using an iPad or tablet device.
"The technologies are really changing how people collect and trade information and talk to each other, whether it's on handheld devices, desktop or tablet devices," Clurman said. "This is really creating a permanent change in how people communicate, which has a big impact on this industry, where there is so much information to learn and so much information people are always gathering when looking to buy a boat."
Clurman gave an example, telling the audience that in the last 24 hours 75,250 people used the Internet to search the term "new boat for sale."
"That equals about 2 million people in the last 30 days," Clurman added. "Obviously we sell a fraction of that in any given month, but that tells you there is a huge pipeline of people out there looking for information about boats."
Not giddy, but optimistic
Zimbalist said brokerage sales have done well recently, "particularly in the middle-size boats. There are still some in the superyacht category, but if you want a high-quality boat you either have to pay up for it in the brokerage market because there is a limited supply or … buy new."
And anecdotal evidence suggests that builders are selling boats, too. "You see the manufacturers on the phones back to the factory asking when can we deliver this and when can we deliver that, which is a good sign," Zimbalist said.
But the optimism is of the cautious kind. The industry should not "get giddy" about the improvements, Zimbalist said.
"We're probably at least 50 percent below where we were at the peak," he said. "We have a long way to go and I don't think anyone is planning on getting back to those days soon. It's going to be a slow and steady climb out. But people love to go boating it's in their blood. There's a lot of pent-up demand out there."

Alejandra Guzman, Calle 13, Aterciopelados and Maldita Vecindad in concert!
BACARDI B-Live is a collaboration of musical talent and performances. It has taken place in over 25 countries, including the U.K., Spain, Italy, New Zealand, Brazil and Mexico.
This time around, the B-LIVE makes it to Los Angeles on Saturday, November 10th. featuring Alejandra Guzman, Calle 13, Maldita Vecindad, and Aterciopelados. A never before seen collection of artists will collaborate for the first time in a special performance at historic Olvera Street in Los Angeles, California.
It will be an exciting all-star lineup with international Latin appeal: "The Queen of Spanish Rock," Alejandra Guzman from Mexico; three time Latin Grammy award winner Calle 13 from Puerto Rico; Latin rockers Maldita Vecindad from Mexico, and Colombia's most original rock band, Aterciopelados.
BacardiI B-LIVE will benefit the city of Los Angeles by donating $25,000 to the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts. The National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts (NHFA) was founded in 1997 by actors Jimmy Smits, Sonia Braga, Esai Morales, and Washington, D.C. Attorney Felix Sanchez.
"We are delighted to have Bacardi USA's support to promote Latinos both in front of and behind the camera," said Jimmy Smits. "We have worked tirelessly over the last 10 years to elevate the issue of Latino under-representation in television and film in the national consciousness."

And there you go. With five players named to the National League All-Star team Saturday and a possibility another could be added, the St. Louis Cardinals will be well represented in the July 16 exhibition, uh, game at Citi Field.
"We're very proud of this group and they will represent us very well," manager Mike Matheny said.
Wainwright, voted in by the players, will attend the festivities but not pitch in the game after the club adjusted the rotation to give him two more starts before the break. Instead of starting Wednesday, as had been scheduled, Wainwright will go Tuesday against the Astros and then against the Cubs at Wrigley Field on July 14, the last day before the break. Both starts will be on regular rest.
But because of a rule that prohibits pitchers who start the Sunday before the All-Star game from appearing in the game, Wainwright will be limited to spectating in New York. He gladly traded his chance to appear in the game for an extra start.
"It's cool to pitch in the (All-Star) game but what's more important is what is going on inside this clubhouse," Wainwright said.
If he thought he had a realistic chance to start the game, however, his decision would not have been so easy. But NL manager Bruce Bochy is said to be leaning heavily towards starting Matt Harvey, the ace for the host team Mets.
"When I made it in 2010, I pitched the seventh inning," Wainwright said. "When they're listing my accolades, they don't say 'made the 2010 All-Star game and pitched the seventh inning.' They just say 2010 All-Star. Right?
"Would I rather have two starts and try to help this team win two more games or pitch the seventh inning? I'm taking the two games every time."
Moving Wainwright up a day benefits the Cardinals in more than one way. Besides getting the added start from their ace, pushing rookie Shelby Miller from Tuesday to Wednesday will allow him an opportunity for a mid-season break of up to two weeks depending on where he's slotted after the break.
"He'll be getting some rest and saving those bullets for down the stretch," Wainwright said. "I'm perfectly OK with that. I let them know right from the start where my priorities are and that's in this clubhouse."
Because Wainwright won't pitch in the game, Bochy will choose an additional pitcher to take his spot on the roster. Might that be a Cardinal? They have no shortage of qualified candidates, including Mujica, Miller, Lynn and, if the NL truly is serious about winning, Rosenthal.
"You've got five guys going already so you think he's probably going to go a different route," Wainwright said. "But we have guys that are very deserving."
The selections of Carpenter, voted in as a backup by the players, and Craig, a manager's selection, drew nice rounds of applause when Matheny made the announcements in a team meeting following the Cardinals' 5-4 walk-off victory over the Marlins.
"We had all some good cheers," Carpenter said. "It was a lot of fun. To win in the fashion we did and come in here and celebrate five guys on our team making the All-Star team, it's quite a day."
In his first season as both a second baseman and an everyday player, Carpenter ranks top five in the NL in runs, hits and on-base percentage and top 10 in batting average. Even though he owned deserving credentials, he was anything but certain he would make the team.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say I was thinking about it," said Carpenter, who last month made plans to spend the break at his home in Texas.
"Honestly, I had no idea. I know how many great players there are in this league and how hard it is to do this. I didn't expect anything. I would be completely understanding if I didn't. It's a real thrill."
Craig, the N.L. lead in hitting with runners in scoring position and top five in RBIs and batting average, was chosen as a manager's selection ahead of Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers' Adrian Gonzalez.
The numbers favor Craig, who is hitting .325/.370/.491 with 10 homers and 68 RBIs. Freeman was hitting .309/.385/.468 with nine homers and 56 RBIs going into Saturday night. Gonzalez was at .300/.353/.492 with 13 homers and 53 RBIs before the Dodgers game against the Giants. Freeman and Gonzalez both were named to the final vote competition, though their chances of beating out Dodgers' rookie sensation Yasiel Puig aren't good.
Beltran, making an All-Star team for the eighth time, and Molina, a five-timer, were voted by fans into the starting lineup. Molina was the leading vote-getter among NL players, deserving recognition for the league's leading hitter and premier defender.
Beltran, who spent six and a half seasons with the Mets, was the top vote-getter among NL outfielders.
"I have a lot of fans that love me over there. There's no doubt about that," said Beltran, who said a right oblique issue could keep him out of the home run contest. "And I have some fans that don't want to see me. I guess you have to take the good and the bad."
For Beltran and the Cardinals, the All-Star selections leaned toward the good.
