Pacific Southwest, Region 9
Serving: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Pacific Islands, Tribal Nations
Compliance and Enforcement Annual Results
Working with federal, state, and tribal partners, EPA is committed to ensuring compliance with environmental laws to protect public health and our environment and to provide an even economic playing field for the regulated community.
Compliance with environmental laws is essential to reducing pollutants in the environment and protecting the public from exposure to harmful contaminants. This year, EPA brought numerous cases against violators of all sizes, in both the public and private sectors. These actions will result in reduced emissions of harmful air pollutants, fewer discharges of sewage and industrial wastewaters into our waterways, and cleanup of soil and groundwater pollution from historic releases of contaminants. Through these actions, we have also required violators to invest in pollution control to prevent future environmental degradation. We have also assessed civil and criminal penalties to emphasize that non-compliance will not be tolerated.

MPs in Worcestershire say too much "scaremongering" has been going on in the debate about Romanian and Bulgarian migrants – saying the county has nothing to fear from them.
Visa restrictions on nationals from the two eastern European countries ended on New Year's Day under EU rules.
The Government has refused to predict how many could come to the UK, lured by the prospects of better paid jobs.
Conservative MPs in the county say there are concerns about the pressure they could put on schools and hospitals, but insist most of them will come to work, not rely on welfare.
Peter Luff, who represents Mid-Worcestershire, said: "The vast majority of Eastern Europeans who have already come here, like the Polish, come to work, not claim benefits.
"The café at Evesham railway station was closed for years and years until it was opened and operated again by a Polish migrant.
"I accept there is pressure on schools and hospitals, and an issue of cultural change in our communities – but we should welcome them.
"Nobody would leave these countries to live in a cold council estate in middle England, so some of this language being used is very concerning.
"We should embrace them in Worcestershire."
Robin Walker, who represents Worcester said: "There is legitimate concern that large numbers coming to this country will put pressure on public services, but a lot of scaremongering is going on.
"The last Government didn't think immigration was an issue and it's right we ought to look at it, but I won't say all immigration is bad, especially when you look at the number of British people abroad.
"I've said all along we need to renegotiate our deal with Europe and that's something we still need to look at."
Back in 2004, experts predicted only a few thousand Polish people would come to Britain when the borders opened up, but more than 500,000 arrived.
There are estimated to be just over 17,000 EU-born nationals living in Worcestershire, of which 287 are Romanian.
Some 117 students at the University of Worcester are Romanian, and temporary seasonal agricultural work is undertaken by several hundred of them every year in rural parts of the county.
Back in 2010 seven young Romanian children – some as young as nine – were found working on a farm in Kempsey, picking onions in freezing conditions without warm clothing.
West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin said: "In the local economy there are already a lot of Romanian and Bulgarian seasonal agricultural workers and I know local farmers find them hard working and reliable and are keen to keep them on.
"However, we also need to make sure that we reform the benefit system to make work pay for local unemployed people and ensure that people come here to work rather than to claim benefits. That is part of what this Government is doing."

In movies and television, bank robbers are often portrayed as criminal masterminds who carefully plan and execute elaborate heists that leave barely a trace behind.
In real life, it doesn't always work out that way. Bank robbers rarely make off with the vast sums of money portrayed in movies, and they sometimes do not-so-smart things like record video of themselves bragging about their crime and then post it to YouTube, as one Nebraska teen allegedly did last week.
Hannah Sabata, age 19, is accused of robbing Cornerstone Bank in Waco, Neb., making off with $6,000 in cash. A few hours later, she allegedly posted a video on YouTube giving details of the heist.
From Nick Bilton of The New York Times:
Sheriff Radcliff said that Ms. Sabata had been identified as a suspect by her ex-husband. She sent him a text message, the sheriff said, bragging that she "had a pile of money after robbing a bank and asking if he wanted to go get a new tattoo with her."
The authorities said Ms. Sabata posted the video, titled "Chick Bank robber," from her messy bedroom at her parents' house. She was wearing the same clothes she had worn during the bank robbery, according to the sheriff: a pink and white striped T-shirt and black jeans.
A brief text description of the holdup was attached to the video: "I just stole a car and robbed a bank. Now I'm rich, I can pay off my college financial aid and tomorrow i'm going for a shopping spree."
This incident illustrates an often-overlooked benefit of doing most of your banking online or on a smartphone: a much smaller chance you'll be in a bank branch when a robbery takes place.
Now it's unlikely that even someone who goes to a bank branch every day will get caught up in a bank robbery. But a combination of a relatively small payoff and very high risk suggests bank robberies aren't going to be perpetrated by the sharpest folks out there. If they're armed, there seems to be a nontrivial chance they'll hurt someone out of fear or sheer incompetence.
After all, if Sabata did in fact rob a bank and post a video about it publicly, the idea of someone with her judgment waving a gun around is truly terrifying.
What do you think? Do you ever worry about being caught in a bank branch during a robbery?

The Crap We Missed – Monday 9.23.13
Welcome to Monday's The Crap We Missed which somehow manages to only include one pic from last night's Emmys and it's this one right here of David Charvet goosing a man because a.) Remember Baywatch? and b.) I have the emotional maturity of an eight-year-old. That fact alone is the answer to every time you've ever clicked through one of these galleries and asked yourself "What the hell is this shit and why am I looking at it?" So with that in mind, here's Constantine Maroulis making that vagina-hand thingy from The Sopranos, John Travolta pointing at his pee-pee that he shows to other boys, this Florida woman rubbing Cee Lo's head because she knows that's how you protect yourself from their voodoo magic, and finally, Matthew Broderick who should know better by now that you never stand directly behind her so she can't see you. She spooks easy.
Wanna guess how long I've been waiting for a pic of him looking injured so I could use that joke? The answer is yes, of course I'm lonely,

It's February, the month of LOVE, and I am so happy to be kicking these next 28 days off with fellow Evernight author, C.R. Moss! Welcome, Chris!
Thanks for having me here today! 🙂 My name is Chris, and I write under the names C.R. Moss for erotic and mainstream romance and Casey Moss for mainstream dark fiction (horror, suspense, urban fantasy). My professional bio for C.R.: "An eccentric and eclectic writer, C.R. Moss pens stories for the mainstream and erotic romance markets, giving readers Worlds of Possibilities when it comes to love." Basically I write stories from the light and sweet to the dark and deadly with varying degrees of sexual heat. The bio for my other persona: Casey Moss delves into the darker aspects of life in her writing, sometimes basing the stories on reality, sometimes on myth. No matter the path, her stories will take you on a journey from the light-hearted paranormal to dark things unspeakable. What waits around the corner? Come explore…
Carlene, in the spirit of Valentine's Day coming up this month, asked me: Is a kiss meant to be more romantic or more heroic? Meaning do you think a kiss is meant to be pleasing or is it to say you are staking a claim to that person? Well, in my opinion, I think it depends upon the situation and the partner. First time partner ~ Is he assertive and confident? Then perhaps it's a 'staking claim' hot, deep passionate kiss. Is he more on the sensual seductive side? Perhaps the kiss would be more slow and pleasing, yet still staking claim. Is it between two people who've been together for some time and what situation are they in? Maybe they've had a huge argument and one of them is trying to prove a point with a 'staking claim' kind of kiss. Or perhaps they're sharing a quiet moment and the kiss is soft, subtle and overall a pleasant smooch. Then there are the kisses shared amongst friends. And first kisses… Good-bye kisses… But all that's probably a discussion for another day. 😉
Current release ~
Today I'm here to tout my latest C.R. Moss release, Lovers and the Fiend. It's a story in Evernight Publishing's Naughty Fairy Tale line. The characters, Jack and Kristina, appeared in my short story – Chasing Miss Kringle – that's in an Evernight Publishing anthology – Stockings and Suspenders. This is the first of a handful of stories I have planned for the NFT line that revolve around the world started in CMK and Lovers. You don't have to read the anthology story to read Lovers, but it'd be nice if you did. 😉
Ex-cop turned private investigator, Jack Vorst, learns his elf girlfriend Kristina has been missing for a few days after being invited to an underground vampire club. He, too, is summoned to visit club Hexenringe and is taken captive. Jack finds Kristina bound and gagged in a human sized bird cage. They're both thrust into a kinky world at the hands of Kol, the club owner. Kol, a vampiric beast, shifts into human form to be with Jack and Kristina and needs them to remember their pasts and to love him so he can return to what he used to be. Can Kol make the pair fall in love with him despite his current situation and the fact he's keeping them captive or will they leave, making it too late for him to change all their fates?Warning: ménage a trios, M/M, bondage, anal sex, sex toys, public exhibition
A peek into the beginning of the story…
Chapter One
I have your woman. A nice piece of ass she is, too. She tells me you're not bad yourself. I would love for you to join us later. A car will be waiting for you outside your office at noon today where my assistant will fill you in on some details. If you know what's good for you and your gal, you'll take advantage of this invitation. See you soon. ~ Kol Ainmire
Jack Vorst's temper went full tilt within a second. His blood pounded hard through his head and body. He'd told Kristina to be careful when she went out on her cases, but it seemed she still had gotten herself in trouble. Not good.
"Vic! Get in here!" Trying to check and rein in his anger before he popped a vessel, Jack grabbed the letter he'd found on his desk while going through a stack of mail and a couple of case files. The paper crinkled within his one clenched hand, and the envelope it'd come in bunched up in his other.
He kept his gaze downcast, ground his teeth. No sense in looking at the tan colored walls that were littered with stenciling in his office and be more irritated than he already was. The design and colors reminded him of the Native American beaded belts people sold at roadside stands.
Vic's wife, Malory, who worked in the adjoining office suites, loved her southwestern motifs. All the rooms for both divisions of the business were decorated to represent Arizona and New Mexico. The decorating style with too many colors and crazy patterns made his head swim, gave him a headache. He hated headaches.
Staring at the crumpled papers in his hands, he sighed. Truth be told, Kristina's whereabouts and her lack of checking in for several days only concerned him a little. She was able to take care of herself, and he trusted her. He loved her, wanted her to be safe, so of course he worried some. But being an elf gave her an advantage that mere humans didn't have—the ability to escape situations by simply disappearing and reappearing elsewhere.
Except this time.

I play almost every Sunday with some of the most smartassed old men that you'd ever have the pleasure to meet. They also happen to rule the shorter heavily wooded Shelby Forest that often humbles power dominate players. Blizzards have really caught on in the Mid-South and the old timers, like many others, are seeing these discs adding distance. One of these old farts throws and XS around 250' and complains (as usual) that the blizzards he's tried either fade out too quickly or turn and burn too quickly, none glided flat
Can I get some recommedations on blizzard molds and specific weights for #1) 225-250' throwers and #2) 250-275' throwers? If dome/PLH/color matters LMK, really would like a glide flat solution if possible, and thanks!

Smithfield Foods Inc. has announced that at the end of 2012 it had successfully transitioned 38 percent of pregnant sows on its company-owned farms in the United States from individual gestation stalls to group housing systems.
In the latest update, the company reported that it remains on track to finish its conversion to group housing on all U.S. company-owned farms by 2017.
In addition, Smithfield said that its international hog production operations also will complete their conversions from gestation stalls to group housing on company-owned farms by 2022. Smithfield's hog production operations in Poland (AgriPlus) and Romania (Smithfield Ferme) completed their conversions to group housing facilities on company-owned farms a number of years ago.
The company's Granjas Carroll de México and Norson joint ventures in Mexico are committed to phasing out gestation stalls on company-owned farms by 2022.
"We're proud of the commitments made by our international operations, and here in the U.S. we are continuing to make good progress toward our goal of phasing out gestation stalls for pregnant sows at all of our company-owned farms, as our 2012 conversion number reflects," said C. Larry Pope, president and chief executive officer of Smithfield Foods.

For the New York Giants, the 2013 offseason is still in it's infancy. Free agency has yet to begin, the NFL draft is still three months away and the front office still has decisions to make regarding several veterans on the roster. In fact, the official start of the offseason is still two weeks away, after the conclusion of Super Bowl XLVII. However, for some, it's still not too early to begin looking forward to the 2013 season. Today, the Giants opened up with 20-1 odds to win Super Bowl XLVIII, which tied them with the Baltimore Ravens for the 10th best odds.
The New England Patriots led the pack with 6-1 odds, followed by the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos at 8-1. The Giants had the best odds of any team in the NFC East, as the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins each came in at 30-1 and the Philadelphia Eagles open at 50-1.
Obviously, these odds are incredibly premature. We still have no idea how most teams around the league are going to look next season. In particular, the Giants are expected to see significant changes to the roster between now and the beginning of next training camp. Due to salary cap restrictions, Big Blue is going to have trouble resigning several of their key free agents this offseason.
More than anything, these odds are just a testament to the non-stop nature of the NFL. The 2012 season has not yet concluded, yet pundits have already placed odds on every teams title hopes for 2013. In reality, these odds are not going to be indicative of a team's actual title chances heading into next season. There are still too many coaching and player personnel choices to be made. Furthermore, there will undoubtedly be injuries sustained in the preseason by players around the league that will have a significant impact on the 2013 season.
The Giants have a lot of questions to answer this offseason before we can put definitive odds on their 2013 title chances. In fact, it doesn't really matter what Vegas says their chances are. If the front office makes wise decisions regarding player personnel, this team will have a chance. In today's NFL, that's about all you can ask for.

Suave Professionals Humectant Conditioner Reviews
Suave Humectant ConditionerThis did not work for my hair at all. I am 37 with medium to thick hair, and this did not moisturize or detangle.

Great Product, Great Value!My hair is long and highlited, and thick. It left my hair soft and touchable. The smell is great, but I wish it was a litle more fragrant - it is subtle. It is a great conditioner and I did use with the matching shampoo and had very good results - better than Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which is what I was using previously. My hair was not tangled at all and even looked great wet. I do wish it was a little richer though, but I will be buying again! — 7 years, 5 months agopixie_dust | 492 reviews
good productIt's a good conditioner for the price, certainly does the job, but it's nothing outstanding. I personally didn't notice any additional shine or softness in my hair, so next time I'd go for Pantene, which is really not more expensive, but gives better results. Though, of course, we all have different reactions to products, so I'll give this conditioner 8 stars, and will consider it a solid option. — 6 years, 3 months agovenenumletalis | 176 reviews

Can't Do Without It!I adore this conditioner. I was at the end of a bottle of Hydra Vive and the next day, used this conditioner I'd picked up for a lot less money....and the difference was amazing. My hair was SO soft and shiny, I was dumbfounded. It softens and moisturizes my long, straight, black hair and it always comes out smooth, glossy and so, so soft. (And yes, I do blow-dry often.)

My Reasons for Reporting This

FOREST Green star Al Bangura is urging fans to donate old shirts to help the Sierra Leone Single Leg Amputee Sports Association.
The Sierrra Leone international has teamed up with his club to run a shirt exchange in February, offering 20% off new home shirts when fans exchange an old strip - which will be donated to the charity.
Bangura was born and brought up in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and is notable for having been the victim of human trafficking when he was a teenager and also the subject of a deportation case in the United Kingdom in 2007.
Bangura said: "I saw what the war did to people in Sierra Leone. The fighters would come looking for young boys and make them become soldiers.
"You would then see them come back into the city - many people were hurt and injured. If you didn't want to be involved it was hard to stay."
The Sierra Leone Single Leg Amputee Sports Association (SLASA) which has 300 members - mainly injured during the decade-long Sierra Leone civil war that ended in 2002, leaving over 50,000 dead.
Banguar added: "Most for the amputee's were injured because of the war, so I would encourage Forest green fans to donate their old shirts to the charity."
Supporters will be able to exchange an old adult first team shirt at The New Lawn reception during February and purchase a new FGR shirt at 20% off - during the week or before home fixtures against Wrexham on Saturday, Braintree Town on Tuesday, February 12, Dartford on the 16th and Kidderminster on the 19th.

It List: The Best Beauty Products for May
Beyoncé's come a long way since her single lady days, but she'll always be an independent woman: from metallic Minx nails to pumped-up tresses, her beauty looks are glamorous and bold. "She has great taste, and is involved in every aspect of her image and branding," says her longtime hairstylist, Kim Kimble. Of the singer's memorable Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) phase, Kimble says it was "all about female power—very Sasha Fierce. The hair had an androgynous quality to it and was a mix of feminine and masculine, long and straight in the back with a pompadour at the front."
The talented British songstress has it all, including a pretty fantastic cat-eye. "Adele has always loved liner and a lash," reveals Michael Ashton, her hair and makeup guru. "Eyeliner has been the focus of her makeup ever since we started working together five years ago—her beautiful almond-shaped eyes can carry any look, but I think a classic cat-eye is simple and striking." As for Adele's transition from bangs and low ponytails to va-va-voom volume, Ashton calls it an organic evolution: "Her latest hairstyle is a nod to the golden era of Hollywood, elegant and timeless."

N4g4rok - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkThis review definitely made my view of Windows 8/RT tablets a little more optimistic. I'm still set on the Surface Pro or some other x86 capable Win8 Tablet, providing the price is right.
Good to know RT is starting out so well. Let's hope the developers jump on it quickly. Reply
andykins - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkI'm really optimistic and excited about Win8/RT :D Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkInteresting that it goes from a wide lead in Sunspider to such a loss in the other tests, if I'm not mistaken the x86 IE10 does not have that kind of variance. So I wonder if it has to do with Tegra 3s memory bandwidth becoming an issue, or something else. However if it can beat the Nexus 7 by such a margin with a similar Tegra 3 that says good things about ARM IE10. Reply
lowlymarine - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkActually, that's right in line with x86 IE10. On my Core i3-based ASUS laptop, IE10 crushes every other browser at Sunspider but is only about half as fast as Chrome at Kraken and V8/Octane.
Given these results and the results from the iPhone 5 review, it's clear that IE and Safari are locked in a "who can cheat more at Sunspider" contest. Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkYeah, basically this. It's not much of a credible benchmark anymore, too many people are starting to optimize very heavily for it in software. Reply
The1nchicago - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkThis is the ONLY blog site I visit where I truly believe Anand opinion is not biased. I got blessed out by people for saying the Ipad Retina was not the greatest business tool. Glad someone shares my view in a sense. Reply
JKflipflop98 - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkI think you mean that his bias matches your own. Reply
augiem - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - link"Side note: in Windows 8, particularly for normal notebook and desktop users, this is an entirely overblown issue - ... but people who claim that Windows 8 will ruin their desktops just sound ignorant to me. But I digress."
This does not belong in a review of this tablet. And calling people ignorant who don't agree with you on how their workflow is affected by the changes to the UI is totally inappropriate. Reply
Boogaloo - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkIf you've actually used win8 you'd agree with what he's saying. It's literally exactly the same as windows 7, except with a fancy startbar. The only way someone would profess something different is based on ignorance (which isn't stupidity, it's lack of knowledge). Reply
Pirks - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkonly slowpokes and lame/dumb oldfags keep saying Metro "ruins" something
they will slowly get it that they are wrong and the noise will disappear
don't pay attention to them. I use Win8 RTM for more than a month already and I know what I'm talking about. Reply
lmcd - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkNaw, Windows 8 still isn't interesting to me. Even oddball projects like Plasma Active are more interesting. Reply
augiem - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkExcept I HAVE actually used Windows 8, I do not agree, and its still inappropriate. Reply
rahvin - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkI agree it's inappropriate. Calling your readers ignorant is not a way to build trust and I have to say honestly that comment damaged Anandtech's reputation.
I'm using Win8 on my home rig and there are things I like about it (some nice performance enhancements) but metro is NOT one of them. Combining touch interface into the desktop was a natural evolution, but what MS did by trying to make one interface work for phones and desktops is going to be a big mistake IMO. Windows 8 is going to be much more hated than the Office Ribbon ever was. The hot corners, full windows start panel and re-emergence of the active desktop it provides are all going to be disastrous IMO.
Regardless of how you feel about Windows8 calling people Ignorant for disliking the UI isn't professional and I normally come to this site for professional well thought out reviews EVEN if I don't agree with the conclusions. Reply
Alexvrb - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkIf you treat Modern UI like a fancy start menu, everything is fine. If you obsess about Modern UI and spend long hours glaring at it and muttering curses, then I can see where you might have a problem.
Anyway if you're really hardcore into murdering the new start menu, there are options for that too. But you were obviously ignorant of this. Ooops! Was that inappropriate? Want some Pamprin? Ah damn there I go again being inappropriate. Probably not politically correct either. Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkIt's the Metro/Modern user interface, being discussed in the context of using it with a mouse. I don't understand how it doesn't apply, considering this particular tablet is shipped with a keyboard/touchpad attachment. Reply
shomizu9 - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkI happen to agree with your opinion in this article Vivek, but augiem has a point - using the "ignorant" comment in your article is pretty unprofessional (i.e. harsh) for someone writing an article/review :-( What about addressing it in a different, less harsh way? Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkYeah, I agree that it sounded a bit harsh in my head too but I was more focused on getting the article out in time rather than worry about that one word. Does "uninformed" sound better? Reply
EnzoFX - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkWhat about the fact that it fills the screen? What if you don't want to lose visibility of windows you have open? That's gotta count for something, no?
I myself use other launchers, so I shouldn't be affected =P. Reply
MadMan007 - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkIgnorant *does* mean uninformed, the word 'ignorant' has just gotten twisted by popular culture to be equivalent to 'stupid', which it is not. Reply
augiem - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkHow about, has a different opinion from. Honestly, the level of superiority on these tech boards is unbelievable. Reply
andykins - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkNah, I totally agree with Vivek's statement and I don't believe it's in any way inappropriate. Reply
lmcd - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkI don't know what phrase of astonishment to use. He clearly said a Win 8 review is coming. Part of the experience is transitioning between the two modes, which is more specific to this laptablet (my hybrid term for the hybrid machines) and as such should be covered in this review specifically. Windows 8 reviews will come in Windows 8 reviews. Reply
andrewaggb - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkMight not be appropriate, but I strongly agree with his assertion. I'm using windows 8 on various machines and it's not a big deal at all. Truthfully I still prefer the start button because it was less jarring, but the actual start menu was a piece of garbage. I NEVER went into the tree mess to find something, I'd just type and search, and that works the same in windows 8 (almost), except you have to hit windows-w to search settings. Reply
dananski - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkI agreed with this quote and was happy to see Vivek say it. I don't know why there's no option to start on the desktop when booting your PC, but tbh, it takes one click to get there and then you're back on your normal 'workflow' (unless you accidentally manage to open a Metro App and can't find your way out). Is one click a day worth all the complaining? Reply
Pirks - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkright on Vivek! pwn those oldfags, reclaimers,etc
that's EXACTLY my impression of Metro, glad smart reviewers like Vivek at last stated the truth here
hehe I'll keep enjoiyng reclaimer's deep sucking of crapdroid cock. don't forget to swallow reclaimer :P RT is pwning ya oldfaggy ass as of RIGHT NOW LOL :))) Reply
Pirks - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkVivek you're wrong, during recent Q&A with Surface team they clearly stated that they are being run as a profitable business from the start and hence no subsidies on the hardware, nothing at all. Hence the high Surface price of $499 and up. You should read that Q&A before spreading false rumors, thank you :) Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkEdited to reflect this - overall point is still valid though, they're probably taking back less profit than everyone else by design. And of course, no software licensing fees. Reply
lmcd - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkWhy would they make the tradeoff AMD has to make when they had the S4 as an option? Or better yet, the S4 Pro? The timing was perfect! Optimus G released with it, why couldn't the VivoTab? Reply
TrackSmart - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkGreat review! One quick addition would make it better: Can you list the combined weight of the tablet with the laptop dock in your opening table? It would be great to quickly compare this to other form factors (i.e. laptops, netbooks, etc.) Reply
karasaj - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkYou mentioned that the processor load is kind of high for typing in office for example, or loading programs - how "smooth" is the feeling of the UI? I think you said at one point that Tegra three might have seemed laggy at one point but later it was "anything under Tegra 3 would be slow" so does it seem like Tegra 3 is sufficient to power the tablet/prevent any "annoying" slowdowns? Reply
lmcd - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkEither way just wait for S4 Pro tablets. Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkIt's got minor lag in desktop mode, noticeable but livable. Anything slower than T3 though, and livable quickly becomes intolerable. Most of the time, you live in Metro anyways so it's not that big of a deal. Reply
TrackSmart - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkJust a heads-up, in case it is the Anandtech ad servers, and not my own system: Clicking between pages on this site, I got a popup that looks like adware. The link, after making it non-clickable was this: surveyorster dot net /d/j4u2i16147?r=http%3A%2F%2Fgjetefa.info%2Fin.php%3Fq%3DM%2FOEglLmwNcgOzwtBLg9uSk36%2BpwOyaQwIB9U0Q%3D
I also saw an annoying "floating advertisement window" recently on the site, which I've never seen in the past.
I have not seen anything strange while browsing other websites. Reply
shomizu9 - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkIn a google search, I'm seeing a few mentions of similar behavior involving the domain name "gjetefa.info" for other sites (wowhead, etc). I haven't personally seen any redirects like you mention on Anand. If it was my pc, I'd suspect malware and check it out with something like MalwareBytes. Reply
Urizane - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkIt has happened to me only twice. I don't remember the URL, but I have clicked on an article link from the main page, got the article, and one second later was presented with a page that copied the facebook design and called itself some kind of survey. I saw fields asking for my name and phone number and something else, but my CTRL+F4 reflexes kicked in. The next time I clicked on the article, that didn't happen. I got one roughly 2 weeks ago and another last Friday, and that's all. I think it's something that wedged itself into the ad rotation. Reply
michal1980 - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkNo offence to Vivek. But apple comes out with a "new" product, we get a 200 page in depth review with deep analysis from Anand.
Microsoft releases both a huge new OS, a new tablet platform. and gets Vivek? And like 5 pages of coverage.
Unbiased? Just based on volume you can tell Anands bias. Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkYou speak too soon, my friend. Between myself and Anand, we're dumping roughly 20k words of Windows RT-related coverage on you today. Just wait for the full Windows RT review. Reply
magnimus1 - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkVivek, This is a slight change of subject.....but do you guys have any plans to review the RAZRi?
Also, Thanks for this article......are you going to do a similiar one for the Vivo Tab? I'm torn between the VivoTab and the full blown Transformer book. I need AT to help me choose!! :-) Reply
darwinosx - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkIf you were actually familiar with the site or Apple products you would now they often take weeks longer than anyone else to write a review.
Don't you need to run the malware scanner on your Android phone now? Reply
Relic74 - Tuesday, January 01, 2013 - linkThat is just silly, I personally have never gotten a malware nor have I ever met anybody who received one. If you stay away from cracked apps and add ridden games it should never be a problem. Besides I would gladly endure such a nuisance just to have a system that includes a filemanager, able to play almost every media codec, Java, Flash, SD Card slot, complete rom/system/data backup, ability to side load apps, true multitasking, multi-view, SAMBA/FTP/SSH support within the filemanager, DLNA, printer support, removable battery, NFC, ect. iOS is an overrated mobile OS but I'm glad your happy with it, that's all that matters. Reply
N4g4rok - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkHe even mentioned that RT is getting it's own review in a little while.
On top of that, with an ipad, the hardware and OS are rolled into one and are usually new, so you see an analysis of both new products. This is an Asus product running windows software, and like most laptops that get reviewed where no time is spent on windows 7, tablets will probably be treated the same. There's no point in going that in depth on every aspect of the tablet when we're going to see it and hear about it in other reviews. Reply
kyuu - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkWindows RT will be getting its own review, and the Surface got a fairly in-depth review by Anand himself.
Plus, there's no new SoC going on here like in the iPhone 5 review, which Anand was obviously keenly interested in. Reply
Lonyo - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkIs there any indication of the settings you used in your battery life testing?
Presumably you went for a standardised brightness across all products? There's nothing in the graphs to indicate how testing was performed, and it would be useful to know, although given ATs history, I assume it was done in a fairly comparable way. Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - link200nits, same as always :) Reply
Braumin - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkThis makes me seriously excited for RT. I think the app issue is going to go away very quickly.
I'd like to see a couple more reviews (especially Surface!) before I can pick what I get. I was leaning pretty heavily towards Surface, but this for the same price has a great battery/keyboard dock. Reply
sulu1977 - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkWhere's the usb3 port? How can you exchange files with another laptop? Is the battery removable? Reply
antef - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkI misunderstand how you can call it a decent PC replacement/ultraportable in the conclusion when you can't install any desktop applications on it at all. That means you get Office and the very poor selection of the Windows Store. That doesn't come anywhere CLOSE to a PC replacement! Are you sure you didn't accidentally copy and paste that line from a Windows 8 (not RT) review? Reply
kyuu - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkHe didn't say it was a PC replacement. He said it was the first tablet that he can accomplish his workflow on, as opposed to Android/Apple tablets that aren't up to the task. He's impressed with how capable it is as a PC replacement, which isn't the same as saying it is a PC replacement (though I'd argue it could be for a large percentage of users whose only tasks are Office, web, videos, and some casual gaming). Reply
DMagic - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkMaybe I missed it, but does the dock disable the touchscreen and the home button, or just the button?
I'm interested to know what it's like to use the touchscreen as a supplementary input device. This seems like an ideal way to use Win8 RT (fingerprints, I know, but they are easy to clean off and I don't think they are that big of a deal anyway), with its combination of such disparate interface types. Reply
kyuu - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkDock only disables the home button. Disabling the touchscreen would just be foolish. Reply
frostyfiredude - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkSurface RT has a 10% larger display, but a 30% larger battery. Processor power usage should remain constant even with the larger display, so the power usage won't actually go up 10%, but somewhere lower like 7 or 8%.
Considering those two, wouldn't it make sense that Surface RT actually gets greater battery life than an un-docked VivoTab RT? Supposedly Surface engineers are hitting 12 hours of usage with it, which seems about right to me at 18-33% greater life than the Vivo RT here. Reply
ssiu - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - link"but even compared to Clover Trail, Tegra 3 is not that fast"
"But given how well RT runs on quad-core Cortex A9, I'm just eager to see shipping devices with faster SoCs - Krait and Clover Trail in the coming weeks, A15 in the not-too distant future. "
I already think "Atom == slow" (poor experience with early netbook). If Windows RT tablets are slower than Windows 8 Atom tablets than I don't know why anyone would choose the former. Even if Krait or A15 is a bit faster than Clover Trail, personally I'd still choose x86 compatibility. Reply
Urizane - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkEarly netbook slowness depends on more than just the CPU. A large majority of early netbooks had very little RAM as well as slow hard drives. These days, there's a lot more RAM as well as solid state storage. I remember old Atom 330 machines that you could upgrade from 1 GB of RAM to 2 GB that made a pretty sizeable difference in day-to-day use. Upgrading to an SSD makes application load times even better. The CPU wasn't fast, but it also wasn't the only reason people hated early netbooks. Reply
Impulses - Friday, October 26, 2012 - linkMore RAM and a SSD worked wonders even for first gen Atom netbooks (single core)... For a tablet workflow it's not really any worse than current ARM SoC, now if you're trying to use it as a laptop replacement that's another story. I think that term is gonna get thrown around too easily with these hybrid Win RT devices...
Even looking past the dire lack of apps (beyond Office), raw performance isn't where it needs to be to make such a concept reality, performance's obviously not gonna be there until A15/S4 Pro/next gen Atom. Laptop alternative might be the more accurate term, tho it's all obviously very dependent on your particular needs. Reply
powerarmour - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkYou need to bear in mind the graphics capabilities of Tegra 3 vs Clover Trail, Clover Trail is looking like it's going to be a mess on those regards, with Intel yet again failing to deliver a PowerVR driver of any decent quality.
What good is a slightly better CPU, when the only thing 3D it can run is the Metro desktop? Reply
Relic74 - Tuesday, January 01, 2013 - linkI just bought the Asus 810c Vivo, though I to have had bad experience with a Atom CPU netbook from Nokia I am quite impressed as to how snappy the OS is. I'm a programmer so the only desktop apps I really use are Netbeans, Java SDK, FileZilla, Bittorent, OpenOffice, Gimp, Inkscape, Thunderbird, Firefox, XAMPP and Google Earth. All run extremely well but I can't express to you guys enough how fast Windows 8 fly's on this system and that battery, wow, 17.5 hours. I literary charge it ounce every 4 days. As a road machine it's bar none one of the best laptops I have ever owned. I'm digging the Vivo a lot and I'm starting to appreciate Microsoft tablet vision.
I see how a lot of you get caught up in benchmarks but when you travel as much as I do it's all about longevity, my other laptop is a Lenovo X220T and even with a batter slice I still barely get about 7 hours. Reply
Flunk - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkThis review is great and it's good to see ARM powered Windows in a real device... But I (and I'm sure other readers) would love to see a review of the newly announced Asus Zenbook U500VZ. It sounds like a really interesting device, and touch sounds a little strange on a 15" device.
Just hoping you guys do a review, you guys are one of the most reputable sources for reviews. Reply
dananski - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - link30% CPU usage from typing in Word 2013 doesn't surprise me - I've had 2013 on my new i7 desktop for a while and I sometimes get lags while typing in Word or clicking around in Excel. Don't try to move the windows around the screen - some very dodgy performance issues there; I used the feedback button to highlight a few.
I wonder if these performance issues will make it into the release version. Back when I got Office 2007 there were a few times when performance went terrible in Excel, which they fixed in SP1. Here's hoping that's not going to be the case again... Reply
cmdrdredd - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkMight compete well with a Transformer Infinity in benchmarks but it needs apps. Reply
B3an - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkNice review. And i agree with everything said in it. This looks like a good device and i'd easily choose it over an iPad or Android tablet, but i'll likely go with a Win 8/x86 tablet. Reply
AahzNotOz - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkOne thing I haven't seen discussed about RT is will it play the Windows extracted Digital Copy movies you sometimes get with Blu-Ray? I know Win 8 Pro slates should be able to play them fine, but how about Win RT? Reply
KineticHummus - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkHopefully this thing can play back high profile H264 like what most people use for MKV's! I'd love to be able to take some 720p anime on the bus with me. None of the 10 inch android tablets are too interesting to me, and the nexus 7 is too small. The iPad is out of the question, it cant play my files. Reply
Urizane - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkHigh profile H.264 in an MP4 container on an iPad...sure. I'm guessing you're just not thrilled about burning in subtitles. As far as Windows RT goes...I'm guessing MKV support is going to have to come by way of a "Modern UI" (Metro) app playing MKVs back in software (slow) rather than through the hardware accelerator. I only say that, because messing with the core components (e.g. adding a DirectShow filter) is probably not allowed out of the box, and any .AX file would have to be compiled for Windows on an ARM CPU anyway. In such a case, you're still better off with H.264 in an MP4 container, because that's guaranteed to work. The same tricks used on Windows 7 for hardware playback of MKV streams should still work in Windows 8 Pro. You might need to lean in that direction if you have a complete aversion to demuxing your MKVs and muxing them into MP4s. Reply
frozentundra123456 - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkSorry, but I guess I am not that familiar with Win RT. What can you really do on Win RT? I mean if it doesnt run x86 apps, does it run android apps, or just apps from the microsoft store?
It seems like kind of in limbo to me. TBH, I really hate Android. Hundred, thousands, whatever of apps, but I have yet to find any that are useful and work well. The few useful apps that I have tried tend to have some fatal flaw such as being frustratingly slow, locking up. crashing, etc.
So if you cant run x86 apps, how is this an improvement? Reply
Roland00Address - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkWhen Windows RT launches there is going to be about 3000 apps in the Microsoft store.
This will change with time, remember if an app is developed for the Microsoft store it will work on windows rt or windows 8 regardless of the processor in use.
Windows 7 phones launched with about 2,000 apps, it had 20,000 apps 6 months later, 40,000 apps 12 months later, and now has over a 100,000 apps.
You are going to see a similar or faster app development for windows 8 for the fact more people are going to use windows 8 then you are going to see people using windows 7 phone. Reply

Russell Slade has called on his team and the club's supporters to recreate the performance and atmosphere against Peterborough United and lead Orient to promotion glory in their play-off final against Rotherham United at Wembley.
The O's defeated the Posh in an epic League 1 semi-final tie which led to unprecedented scenes of joy at Brisbane Road with fans celebrating on the pitch.
Orient will take more than 23,000 fans to Wembley tomorrow and their manager believes together the players and crowd can help the O's reach the second tier of English football for the first time in 32 years.
The Orient boss, who expects to have a fully fit squad to choose from, said: "We were expecting and hoping for over 20,000 fans and that is what we're going to get which is a tremendous effort. We need a similar performance from ourselves from the last game and also from the fans off the pitch to help get us over the line."
Slade, who has forged a close relationship with chairman Barry Hearn since coming to the club, added: "It would be the biggest thrill for both us if we could win. The chairman wants Championship football as much as we all do.
"It would be a fantastic achievement and special for everybody concerned including the fans and the staff. It would be marvellous but there is an awful lot of work to be done between now and then."
Slade has experienced the heartbreak of defeat after losing in the play-off final as manager of Grimsby Town to Cheltenham Town in 2006 before suffering more disappointment as Yeovil Town boss against Blackpool one year later.
Slade, who is looking for his first promotion as a manager, said: "I learnt a little bit from the previous finals but in the end there is no written script and no formula. If you think there is a formula to a final, you are kidding yourself. The only formula is hard work and discipline."
Some teams get caught up in the hype of the occasion and fail to perform on the pitch but Slade admits there is a balance required in preparing for the final.
When asked if it was best to treat it as a normal game, he replied: "It is easier said than done because there are the hopes and expectations of everyone and the players have to deal with things like tickets. It's good to treat it as another game, but at the same time it's not ordinary playing at Wembley. You have to accept it is a very big game, with a very big prize, but then you just have to get on with the job.
"I have total belief in them. The little details are important but a word that's often underused is persistence. We need that persistence in everything that we do well."
Orient's opponents in the final are the Millers after they overcame Preston North End in the semi-finals. Rotherham are pushing for their second consecutive promotion after Steve Evans took them out of League 2 last year.
Slade, whose side won at home and lost away to Rotherham this season, said: "He's [Evans] done a wonderful job for their football club. I think they are two very hard working teams. His side have got a very good work ethic and so has mine.
"Rotherham are a very good side and they get lots of crosses in the box. We're both good teams and we wouldn't have got into this position if we weren't.
"Both games have been very tight ones and this will be no different. They have threats all over the pitch with the pace of Kieran Agard, the aerial ability of Alex Revell and the delivery of Ben Pringle but then so have we.
"We are all really looking forward to it. There is excitement and it's something we have to embrace and enjoy but more importantly we have to make sure we do our job."
Slade has had to manage on minimal resources compared to bigger clubs in their division and the O's boss believes their unity, allied to sheer hard graft, has helped them to the brink of the Championship.
He said: "It means so much to everybody from the chairman who's ecstatic about getting there and the staff, the two Kevins [Nugent and Dearden] and head of sports science Lee Southernwood. They've all been inspirational. Everybody works more than they should. We maximise everything and go beyond the call of duty at times and that's what it's about here.
"If you are to shift a club like Leyton Orient from one level to the next that's what you've got to do."
The O's boss has described his side as the underdogs throughout the play-offs, but the triumph of Yeovil Town in the final 12 months ago should give Orient the belief they can complete a record-breaking season with promotion.
Slade said: "We are still, whatever happens, the smallest club in every way, shape or form going to Wembley. But what we do have is a fantastic togetherness, a spirit and an inspiration that we'll hopefully get us where we need to be.
"Yeovil went to Wembley and they were massive underdogs and turned it on its head. It was a wonderful achievement by Gary Johnson and that's what is so fantastic about English football that the smaller club occasionally from time to time can still do that."
Slade, who is based in the flats overlooking the ground, has had to live apart from his family for much of his time at the club but insists so many people at Orient are willing to go the extra mile to succeed.
"As you know I'm very happy here," the manager said. "Obviously my family are in the north and that's difficult but they're so supportive. I've got a fantastic wife and great kids. We make sacrifices but other people make sacrifices too. We're willing to do that at the football club and if you want to be successful you have to do that."

Medical Definition of Hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal
Hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal: Elevation of the bilirubin level in the blood of the newborn, which results in yellowish staining of the skin and whites of the newborn's eyes (sclerae) by pigment of bile (bilirubin). In newborn babies a degree of jaundice is normal. It is due to the breakdown of red blood cells (which release bilirubin into the blood) and to the immaturity of the newborn's liver (which cannot effectively metabolize the bilirubin and prepare it for excretion into the urine). Normal neonatal jaundice typically appears between the 2nd and 5th days of life and clears with time.
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is also referred to as neonatal jaundice and physiologic jaundice of the newborn.

Some Secrets of the Qur'an
There is Light in Believers' Faces, But Disgrace in Those of Disbelievers
One of the secrets that God reveals in the Qur'an is that belief and disbelief are reflected on people's faces and skins. In many verses, God informs that there is light on believers' faces, whereas there is disgrace on disbelievers':
As stated in these verses, disbelievers' faces are shadowed by debasement. On the other hand, believers have light on their faces. God states that they are recognised by the traces of prostration on their faces:
In other verses, God informs that disbelievers and evildoers are recognised by their faces:
It is a miracle and an important secret revealed in the Qur'an that, depending on one's faith or evildoing, physical changes occur on one's face. Spiritual feelings produce physical effects on body; although the contour remains the same, the expression of the face changes or the face is lightened or overshadowed. A man of faith, can, by the Will of God, see this miracle God performs on people.

Moscow's six mosques are not enough for 2 million Muslims living in Moscow, attracts the authorities attention.
Moscow Mayor stated that he did not feel comfortable when he saw thousands of people performing eid prayer on the streets at eid ul-Adha. So ten more mosques are needed to be constructed in the Capital.
Russian President Dmitri Medvedev took some information from Ravil Gainutdin, chairman of the Mufti Council of Russia about the situation while he visited the old mosque with his shoes off. After the visit, Medvedev asked Moscow Municipality and other institutions to make things easier for the future mosque constructions.
Also in this way, the Central Mosque which is 3 kilometers away from Kremlin will allow some 5 thousand people indoor and 20 thousand people outdoor to perform their prayer. Turkey will also contribute the indoor decoration, the altar and the pulpit within the mosque. 200 million dollars are estimated to be spent in this construction while the mosque will be one of the significant symbols of Moscow and be openned on 2012.
There is more than twenty million Muslims living in Russia where more than 5 thousand mosques are present.

Rival rugby teams are joining forces to raise money for charity.
Sutton & Epsom Extra Bs and Old Suttonians RFC will be staging a friendly match in aid of Help for Heroes at Sutton & Epsom RFC in Cuddington Court, Cheam.
Donations will be collected at the match and a representative of Help for Heroes will be in attendance to collect a cheque at the end.
To add a twist to the proceedings the players will be swapping shirts before the match giving fans the unique opportunity to see the teams play in each other's strip.
Sadly, as with many local sports, the numbers of people playing recreational rugby is dwindling.
Gavin McIlreavy, otherwise known as "Stich", the captain of Sutton & Epsom Extra Bs said: "This is a joint effort from both clubs and ideally we'd like to take advantage of this event to promote the clubs as local teams searching for new players, and make a large amount of money for a worthy cause."
Admittance to the event on Saturday, February 23, which starts at 2pm, is free and there is a large car park.
The match will be followed by live coverage of the England 6 Nations game against France at 5pm.

text: Updated to include additional analyst comments, sector data NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As coal giants limp into the second half of the year, there's still the prospect that things could get worse for the sector. However, a weak revenue outlook and debt-laden balance sheets won't prove to be the death knell for an industry whose troubles were highlighted by the recent Patriot Coal ( PCX) bankruptcy. "I think the second half of the year is not going to be a heck of a lot better than the first half," says Davenport & Co. analyst Christopher Haberlin of his outlook for the coal sector. However, the reasons for caution are shifting. Instead of an existential crisis, coal players head into second quarter earnings with a potential reversal of demand indicators. Met coal, which was the primary source of health for coal companies in the first half of the year thanks to Asian demand, and in particular, China, which uses the coking product to produce steel, is at risk of slacking. Thermal coal, mostly used in power generation, slumped in early 2012 as natural gas hit decade low prices, but a rebound in natural gas prices amid a late June and July heat wave has driven prices above $3, making coal an economic alternative for utilities in some markets. Indeed, as investors brace for an outlook shift in which met coal becomes the bigger industry risk and the prospect of stronger economics for thermal coal signal an upside opportunity, there may be little reason to move away from the beaten up shares of Peabody Energy ( BTU), Cloud Peak Energy ( CLD) and Teck Resources ( TCK), which have outperformed peers including Alpha Natural Resources ( ANR) and Arch Coal ( TCK). (In 2012, coal outperformance means a 25% drop or less, compared to 50%-plus declines for many industry giants.) The likes of Peabody Energy and Cloud Peak may continue to outperform because of their operational efficiency and exposure to more economic coal basins, notes Haberlin. Bankruptcy risk hasn't left the coal landscape. After Patriot Coal's recent bankruptcy, Haberlin highlights James River ( JRCC) as possibly the most at-risk company in the sector because of its high cost structure. However, the company also has nearly $200 million in cash and thermal coal contracts through 2013 that may outreturn extraction costs. "Aside from JRCC, the remaining companies in our coverage universe are not faced with significant bankruptcy risks over the next several quarters," wrote Haberlin in a note to clients. The prospect of slowing growth in China and lower steel demand removing the largest marginal buyer of met coal has Haberlin more concerned. Haberlin and other coal analysts recently cut earnings expectations throughout the sector. Nevertheless, investors may still focus on whether companies revise met coal guidance -- of if earnings will slump faster than expectations. "Into earnings we think estimates are too generous for more met-focused Alpha Natural Resources and Walter Energy and too tough for Consol Energy ( CNX), given its restart of higher profit low-vol met coal production at Buchanan," wrote Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Timna Tanners in a July 17 earnings outlook. "Despite near-term met concerns, we remain convinced that the market remains robust longer term given limited supply globally and high production costs," adds Tanners.

Paralympic hero David Weir has admitted he may race in the Rio Olympics in 2016, despite ruling it out before last summer's games.
The 33-year-old Kingston AC & Polytechnic Harrier won four gold medals in London last year in the T54 800m, 1500m, 5000m and marathon to take his Paralympic gold medal haul to six.
The Sutton-born athlete, who trains at St Mary's University College in Twickenham and Kingsmeadow Fitness and Athletics Centre in Kingston, was sure the 2012 Paralympics would be his final Games in the build up to them.
But Weir, a regular in Richmond Park too, is less certain about what his future holds with the Commonwealth Games on the horizon and the possibility of competing in what would be his fourth Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro – not to mention the 2017 World Paralympic Championships in London.
"I would have said no six months ago before the London Games," Weir said.
"But each month getting closer to Rio I'm changing my mind slightly. I've got a two-year plan at the moment. I want to get to the Commonwealths and then we'll see if I've still got the desire after that.
"It was definitely no this time last year, but I seem to be changing my mind every month so you never know.
"I think what changed my mind was previously, in the past few years, I've only been winning races by millimetres and at the Games I was winning races by up to a couple of seconds. That is a lot in our sport.
"That put a smile on my face and said there's still life in the old dog and I can still do it at a high level.
"That has made me think about prolonging my career further."
But Weir fears events in Brazil could yet prove an anti-climax.
"London was special and nothing is going to beat it and that is the problem," Weir added.

The Children's Zoo at Celebration Square strives to ignite awareness of, excitement in, and concern for animals and the natural world and its conservation in people of all ages.
The Children's Zoo Believes
All life exists within an ecosystem.
Human beings are an intergral part of all ecosystems.
Healthy ecosystems provide many essential services and benefits that sustain and improve human lives.
The human experience requires a connection to nature. These experiences in wild places in our community enrich our lives and inspire our choices for future generations.
Human beings are responsible for dramatic changes to ecosystems at a rate unprecedented in Earth's history.
We have the responsibility to care for the Earth, to leave healthy ecosystems for our families and future generations.
Through informed actions, we can positively impact ecosystems.
Responsible zoos and aquariums strive to conserve ecosystems and promote care and positive action for the natural world.
The Zoo's Conservation Efforts
Breeding Programs
Lockey, the Children's Zoo's Hingeback tortoise, has been busy saving his species.
He is currently on loan at Herpetological Resource Management participating in a breeding program, and has made fast friends with a female Hingeback tortoise named Kinixys.
Any baby tortoises hatched through this program will be released into their natural African habitat to help boost the wild population.
- The Children's Zoo is participating in THREE Species Survival Plans (SSP), an AZA breeding program, since our accreditation in 2009.
- The critically endangered Cotton-top tamarins
- The endangered African Black-footed penguins

5 Ingredients: Blackened Salmon With Mango Salsaby Dana Angelo White in 5-Ingredient Recipes, April 11, 2012
I wish I liked salmon more than I actually do, but I have to admit, I often get bored with it. I know it's good for me so I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. Meet my new salmon obsession …. blackened and topped with a super fresh salsa!
Good Catch
Salmon is a smart pick all around. It's a low-mercury fish bursting with healthy omega-3 fats. It can also be a sustainable pick. According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, wild Alaskan or tank farmed operations within the U.S are best.
Blackened Salmon With Mango Salsa
Serves: 4
1 large mango, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 pound wild salmon, skin removed; cut into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon Smoky Fennel Grill Seasoning or your favorite grill seasoning
Kosher salt, pepper and canola oil
Preheat grill or grill pan. In a small bowl combine mango, red onion and cilantro. Season with ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt and pepper; mix to combine and set aside.
Season salmon with 2 teaspoons of canola oil and grill seasoning. Gently rub spice mixture so that it evenly coats each side. Grill for 4 minutes, turn and cook on the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Serve topped with salsa.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/1/2013 (1679 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Esplanade Riel, with its restaurant plaza looking out over the Red River, has become one of the city's iconic images, a favourite for TV news cameras, postcards and admiring visitors.
Although it will be overshadowed eventually by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights as the city's most recognizable image, the pedestrian bridge/restaurant will always be a vital landmark and an important link between downtown Winnipeg and the francophone community in St. Boniface.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the restaurant itself, Salisbury House, which was selected by the city seven years ago following a competitive process. The chain is a Winnipeg institution and thousands of people love its food, but it has proven to be the wrong concept for that location. The company claims it is losing money on the bridge and it tried to negotiate a new deal with the city, which decided instead to issue expressions of interest for a new operator.
The selection of the restaurant disappointed many people who felt it was too low-end -- only a notch above a McDonald's, critics said -- and it would not attract many people.
It seems somewhat puzzling the city's most iconic destination has not been enough to sustain a 32-seat restaurant, but the idea a higher-end restaurant would be any more successful is also dubious.
A destination location and a destination restaurant don't necessarily add up to success.
The problem is the appeal of the site is also its weakness.
Winnipeggers won't walk too far in winter to reach a restaurant. They'll walk a long distance to get from their parked cars to the front door of IKEA, but restaurants are another matter, according to industry experts.
As a result, few people were prepared to brave the winter winds to reach the bridge eatery, and the same was probably true on rainy days. The restaurant even had a clause in its contract that allowed it to close for 90 days in the winter.
At the same time, however, another group of partners was announcing plans to open a so-called pop-up restaurant on the ice at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers.
The steel-and-aluminum structure will only be open until Feb. 13, but the partners are confident they can sell 1,000 tickets at $85 a plate, plus beverages, in the 20-seat restaurant by that time. That would be enough to meet costs and possibly show a small profit.
Time will tell if it succeeds, but the proponents are optimistic, because what they are selling is different, unique and fun. People will walk across a frozen wasteland to get to it, or so they hope.
The same general concept should be applied to the restaurant plaza on the bridge. Instead of seeking a new restaurant operator -- or, more likely, the same one -- the city should look for new ways to maximize use of the space all year round.
Coun. Dan Vandal (St. Boniface) is suggesting something more versatile, much like the restaurant industry itself, which constantly reinvents itself to avoid becoming boring. In the winter, it could be leased for special events and functions, including the Festival du Voyageur, while serving as a place to purchase unique Manitoba foods or even a mini-library at other times, Mr. Vandal suggests.
It's an undeveloped idea, but the problem is no one has been thinking about how to turn it into authentic public space, or a place people go to meet, discuss issues, listen to music, have a beer and so on.
The city's call for expressions of interest expires in two weeks, but unless a remarkable idea steps out of the blue, the city should not settle for another fast-food outlet.
The Sals was only paying $2,000 a month in rent, and it won't pay that much if the city decides to renew the lease, so it's not like a fortune is at stake.
The decision to build an indoor plaza on the bridge showed remarkable courage and foresight, but stronger ideas are now needed to make it a vital part of the community.

A RAFT of poor scoring from rivals enabled York's Simon Dyson to squeeze into the weekend rounds of the Scottish Open.
Dyson suffered a dismal inward nine at the Royal Aberdeen course in which he lost three shots in just two holes.
That saw the world 127 slide from a potential top-ten position to an agonising wait to beat the then projected cut of two-over-par.
The York ace dropped a shot on the fourth hole as he followed up his level-par 71 of Thursday. But then birdies on holes five, six and nine elevated the Malton & Norton GC star to two-under.
Dyson though then suffered a fateful double whammy on the way back to the pavilion when he bogeyed the 13th hole followed by a six on the par-four 14th to leave him marooned on two-over and facing an anxious wait.
For several hours a place in the last two rounds was in serious jeopardy, but as rivals started to crack under the testing conditions in Aberdeen Dyson inched back into safety.
The clearest evidence of the turnaround was how first round leader Rory McIlroy followed his course record 64 with a seven-over 78.
