EBay executive turned organic farmer Michael Dearing knows a thing or two about investing. Through his venture firm Harrison Metal he's invested in dozens of tiny startups that have gone on to hit it big. From AdMob and Heroku (which Google and Salesforce.com purchased for $750 million and $250 million respectively) to still-independent enterprises like Twitter, Dearing casts a wide net and a long shadow.
But an enduring passion is figuring out new ways to buy and sell thing online. His most recent investment, Mine, aims to create an ownership directory, allowing users to quickly see what their friends and acquaintances have purchased and whether they like it.
Dearing talks about how investing is like visiting a farmers' market, emerging video and gifting opportunities in e-commerce, and how subscription models are out of season.
You see a lot of startups. What do you like about Mine?
When I first met the team, it was an immediate decision to back them. They are three exceptionally talented guys and their approach is to give people this superpower.
They're giving superpowers?
They are. The question 'What have you bought that you love?' is a common question between friends and those one or two degrees separated. Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest have that angle, but this is the first time anyone has thought to build a dedicated container for answering this.
Talking to Mine's CEO Pierre LeGrain , I gathered you're pretty hands-on with them, building the product. What type of features have you suggested?
Their instincts have been great. They know it's got to be dead simple with key words and image searches. There's a lot of cool technical things you can do, but they've had the good sense not to.
Any emerging trends you're excited about in e-commerce?
Mobile and video. I've tried to pick companies in both that I think are special. Browsing and [filling] shopping carts is a deeply engrained behavior now. [Brands] find they need more of an editorial story in place to differentiate the product. Video story telling for commerce has the potential to significantly improve conversion and monetization. I'm very optimistic about it. I look at it the way Google looked at the ad market five or seven years ago.
So it's advertising?
One aspect is yes, but it's more about story telling. People expect to be in particular format and more editorial. When it's done well it feels like you're watching a few minutes of TV. Another area that's increasingly interesting is gifting. There's a big gap between what's possible with customization and access to great product and it's that thesis that led me to invest in Wantful.
Any others like that in your portfolio?
Investing in e-commerce is bit like going to the farmer's market; I have an idea what I want, but I have to be responsive to what's in the market.
What's tapped out? What's a pitch you hope to ever see again?
Back to the farmers market. Things are in season at different times. In a different time it was subscription models that proliferated. I tried hard to find the best companies in that area–which was Birchbox–but I don't necessarily want to have my portfolio skewed to only that. I try to create a balanced menu.

Here's another roundup of developer forum posts from the official Fallout: New Vegas forum.
Does killing Caesar's Legion characters give you good Karma and killing NCR give you bad Karma?
This isn't generally true. Normal rank and file members of the NCR/CL don't give good or bad karma when you kill them. Certain individuals who are particularly good/bad will, though."— J.E. Sawyer
We're still working on some issues relating to Steam cloud and saves -- I hope to have more information to you soon.
In the meantime, I'd definitely recommend using manual saves."— Matt Grandstaff
Why do Powder Gangers attack me even if I have high reputation with them?
There are renegade powder gangers in the game that will attack anyone. Most of them are located around Primm."— Matt Grandstaff
If you pre-ordered Fallout: New Vegas and the retailer selling the game offered a pre-order bonus, look in your game case and pull out the card that reads "Added Bonus." On the flip side of the card, you'll find the code to enter within the PlayStation Store.
Upon entering the code, you'll receive options as to which language to select. Users in North America using BLUS 30626 (BLUS # found on the spine of your game case) playing the game in English should select The English version of the Bonus Pack. The French version will have "French Version" in Parenthesis, while the English version will not. Users in North America using BLUS 30626 playing the game in French should select The French version of the Bonus Pack, which will be labeled as "(French Version)". Users in North America using BLUS 30500 should always select The English version of the Bonus Pack. The French version will have "French" in Parenthesis, while the English version will not.
If you accidentally select the wrong, language. Please follow these steps. Navigate to and select the Game Data Utility in the XMB Delete the Fallout: New Vegas DLC – ([Wrong Region Code]) Navigate to the Playstation Store -> Downloads section and download the correct Bonus Pack which matches your region.
"— Matt Grandstaff
If you still receive a "80023156" error when you try to enter the code, you'll need to wait 24 hours before entering the code again; at that point, you should be able to activate the bonus without issue.
Steam achievements and console commands:
Another developer mentioned to me that if you're using the tilde key while playing, you Steam achievements could become disabled."— Matt Grandstaff
The Laser Rifle is (I think) the most accurate ranged weapon and can be scoped as well."— J.E. Sawyer
It fires and reloads quickly, is very accurate, and is the only handgun that can fire Armor Piercing rounds.
EDIT: Also, because it's a revolver, it's affected by the Cowboy perk."— J.E. Sawyer
In my experience, weapons with a high DPS rating are usually best, even if they are inaccurate. Also, I think that nightkin typically don't wear armor, so if you have hollow point bullets, those also help.
I think a 9mm SMG with the light bolt mod and hollow point bullets made short work of them for me."— J.E. Sawyer
How to make damage threshold not allow even any minimal damage?
There is a game setting called fMinDamMultiplier. It is set to 0.2 by default. If you set it to 0.0, damage can reach 0."— J.E. Sawyer

Comments about PBS NOVA: Missing in MiG Alley DVD:
Not much is written about the air war that took place over Korea, so this DVD is interesting. Not too many are aware of what happened in Korea during that conflict and that is why it is referred to as "The Forgotten War". This DVD involves the air war when our pilots, some of WW11 battles, find themselves fighting experienced Russian pilots. It's also a the first time that the jet fighter was used also. The fact that there are so many Americans still unable to be accounted for is what this DVD is all about.
Comments about PBS NOVA: Missing in MiG Alley DVD:
my husband robert shaw was in the army air corps in pilot training from 1952-53; he said he was in training to replace the pilots in the korean war; but by the time he was trained, war wound down so he wasn't called into that duty. after watching this story i realized that had he been even 1 year older he may have had a different fate! instead he went on to father two great sons, one of which just retired off f-15's maitai unit hawaii!
Comments about PBS NOVA: Missing in MiG Alley DVD:
This is the story of my brother Captain Troy
Gordon Cope, shot down over China Sept 16, 1952. In 2005 they found his remains of the crash and returned them to the U.S.A. DNA test with my other brother Major Carl Cope proved the identity.

SEC's Top 25 players: No. 20 Travis Swanson
Published: Saturday, July 6, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 6:17 p.m.
Gatorsports.com counts down this season's standout players in the nation's toughest conference.
No. 20 Travis Swanson
Position: Center
School: Arkansas
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight:314 pounds
Year: Senior
Why he's No. 20: Swanson is tall for a center, but the Arkansas staff loves his ability to move. Bruce Feldman of CBSSports.com named Swanson one of his 20 "freaks" of college football. Swanson didn't get a lot of attention last year because of the Razorbacks' dismal season, but offense wasn't the problem in Fayetteville. Swanson helped protect QB Tyler Wilson for three years and has started in all 38 games over the last three seasons. He was named second-team All-SEC a year ago and is considered the No. 1 center prospect for the next NFL draft. Swanson has been named to both the Rimington and Outland watch lists the past two seasons.

Three new traveller encampments have been set up across Bournemouth and Poole after 25 caravans left Turlin Moor last night.
- An eviction notice was served on the traveller camp at Turlin Moor giving them until noon today to move
- At 9.30pm last night the group left Turlin Moor and split into three groups
- Eight or nine caravans moved back onto Baiter Park, the third encampment there this summer
- A second group of 11 caravans moved on Cotlands Road car park in Bournemouth
- A third group moved onto Beach Road car park in Canford Cliffs
- Travellers attempted to gain entry to Kings Park on Wednesday night but were turned back
- Some of the Cotlands Road group are on the move again, apparently because they don't like the site. Around six caravans left late on Thursday afternoon.
Bournemouth council has put other sites in lockdown including Meyrick Park, Queens Park, Redhill and Slades. The lockdown will stay in place until the air festival at the end of the month.
Officials have put legal moves in process to gain possession of the Cotlands Road site, although at 4.30pm the council said some of the group appeared to be moving on because they "didn't like it" there. By 5pm around six caravans left the Cotlands Road site.
Borough of Poole officers are currently deciding what action they are going to take. However they have welded up at the gate at Turlin Moor rec, where the travellers gained access.
This will not prevent members of the public using the field and a football tournament on the pitch, which has not been damaged, will go ahead as planned this weekend.
Furious Poole residents are demanding answers as it is the third time Baiter Park has been used by travellers this year.
Two weeks ago eight caravans were at the same site before moving on just hours before an eviction notice would have forced them to leave.
Theresa McDowell, who walks her dog in the park, said she was disappointed to see travellers had returned to the car park.
She said: "I first noticed them in there this morning. There aren't as many as last time."
The 61-year-old added: "It makes me feel weary but I've never had any problems with them."
John Turner said he was frustrated to see travellers back at the park. He said: "This is the third time this summer.
"The time before last the council brought them down portable toilets to make sure they were ok.
"They have got money. They have got expensive cars. Other people pay to stay at caravan sites so why can't they?"
Mr Turner said he would like to changes in the law so illegal encampments can be shut down sooner.
He said: "Everybody seems to be frightened of them. The police seem to be frightened of them and the council seem to be frightened of them.
"They shouldn't be allowed to be here in the first place."
Mike Randall, chairman of Parkstone Bay Association, told the Echo: "This is ridiculous. This is the third time this has happened this year and people are getting a bit fed up with it.
"We need the council to take action to prevent this occurring. We desperately need height barriers put in the entrance to the car park. It is the only thing that will stop them getting in."
Poole resident Alan Cofflard of Elizabeth Road, who walks his dog on Baiter, was disgusted that the council had not done more to prevent the travellers from returning.
"They have these silly little stumps and where the put the Purbeck stone has not been planned. There are three or four areas where they can get through quite nicely," he said.
He said there was still human excrement in the undergrowth from the last visit that had not been cleared up.
Mr Cofflard said it took Borough of Poole from July 18 to 24 to get the travellers evicted last time. "They are running Poole Council round in circles," he said.
Cllr Chris Wilson, Poole People member for the Poole Town ward said: "I think this is the end for residents, this is the third time in a few months."
She said she and Poole Party leader Cllr Mark Howell would be repeating their calls for a height restriction on the car park, which had been refused before on the grounds it would stop legitimate caravans from entering. But she said they generally went to the car park that fronted the harbour.
"They just play cat and mouse with us all summer to the detriment of anyone else," she said. "We really need to be putting our thinking caps on again before next summer."
Cllr Wilson, who was on the planning committee that threw out the proposal for the temporary transit site at Creekmoor added: "We'll never find a site in Poole.
"We need a site that can be used by travellers throughout Dorset. That would be the solution. We need the law changed before we can do that."

Turlin Moor resident Julie Bagwell said all of the travellers had left the moor by 9.30pm, having been served with an order to move around 12noon on Wednesday.
"Thankfully the field is already being cleaned, very prompt response by the council cleaning teams, we are all pleased to say," she added.

US Youth Soccer National League accepting applications for 2013-2014 season
June 12, 2013 02:13 PM
US Youth Soccer National League accepting applications for 2013-2014 season
League adds Under-14 age group, automatic regional league qualification
2013-2014 National League:
FRISCO, Texas (June 12, 2013)
– Beginning today, the
US Youth Soccer National League
is accepting team applications for the 2013-2014 seasonal year. Applications are due Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Competition will be held for the Under-14, Under-15, Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 Boys and Girls age groups.
The National League is an extension of the highly successful US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues (Region I Premier League, Midwest Regional League, Southern Premier Regional League/Region III Premier League and Far West Regional League). The National League provides an avenue for teams to play in meaningful matches against top competition from across the country for continued development. In addition to recruiting opportunities, National League teams compete for the National League title and one of four slots from each gender age group to the annual US Youth Soccer National Championships, the oldest and most prestigious youth soccer national championships.
Teams that earn their spot in the National League have a proven track record of success in US Youth Soccer regional and national competitions, and are among the nation's best. Hundreds of college scouts attend each National League weekend, creating another significant opportunity for the nation's collegiate and National Team coaches to see National League players in an environment of meaningful play, citing the competitive level of each game as every team has to earn their spot in the competition, regardless of club affiliation or location.
Teams either automatically qualify for National League spots, or are selected by the NL Committee for remaining open slots. Qualification and selection spots may vary based on a specific gender age group. Specific information on each gender age group, as well as a list of automatic qualifying teams for 2013-2014 can be found
The National League completed its sixth season of play in 2012-2013, with the National Championships still to be played. During the first five years, National League teams have won 20 of a possible 30 National Championships, including seven of eight last year.
Sixteen teams will qualify for the National League in each gender age group. The top four U-15, U-16 and U-17 finishers from the 2012-2013 National League season have earned the opportunity to retain their slots for the 2013-2014, provided teams meet all eligibility requirements. The top two finishers in each US Youth Soccer Regional League in the Under-15 through Under-17 age groups receive an automatic slot into the league. And also earning a place in the 2013-2014 National League season are the four champions from the upcoming 2013 US Youth Soccer Regional Championships in the U-13 through U-17 gender age groups. The remaining slots will be filled by teams that have either achieved success in their respective Regional League or were a semifinalist at the 2013 Regional Championships. For those remaining slots, the teams will be selected by the National League Committee.
All teams who would like to participate in the National League must submit an application and pay the fee, which will be returned if the team is not accepted.
Each gender age group will be split into two eight-team divisions featuring teams from each of US Youth Soccer's four regions competing in round robin play within each division. All teams will compete in the opening weekend of play as part of the CASL Showcase in the Raleigh, N.C. area November 21-24 for the Boys and December 5-8 for the Girls. Teams will then be assigned to play in one of the two remaining events held in Orlando, Fla., alongside the Disney College Showcase in late December or during March in the West. Details on the location of the final play date in March have yet to be determined.
Teams for the 2013-2014 season are expected to be announced around August 1, 2013.
Please contact the National League Commissioner Paul Luchowski at
with questions.

2008 Life Without Lupus® Gala
Mayor Bloomberg, South Pacific Star Kelli O'Hara, and CBS broadcaster Charles Osgood Pay Tribute
New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg joined the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation in honoring families dedicated to the fight against lupus at the organization's "Life Without Lupus®" gala on Thursday, November 20, 2008.
The nation's largest annual benefit for lupus, the gala at Times Square's Marriott Marquis raised millions of dollars for patient services, community outreach, and research to find better treatments and a cure for the systemic autoimmune disease. More than 1.5 million Americans have lupus.
Legendary CBS broadcaster Charles Osgood emceed the evening's program, which featured a stirring performance from three-time Tony nominee and star of Lincoln Center's South Pacific, Kelli O'Hara.
"This is the time," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Every dollar brings us closer to conquering this disease…I have no doubt we will find a cure for lupus very soon."
The Foundation presented the annual Corporate Leadership Award to Genentech, one of the world's leading biotech companies, in honor of its commitment and progress in research to find safer and more effective therapies for people with lupus.
In recognizing the dedication of two families in particular to the lupus cause—the Paradysz Family of Mill Neck, New York and the Selkowitz family of Stamford, Connecticut—the gala celebrated the contribution of all families to finding a cure, raising awareness, and caring for people with the disease.
With her parents and two siblings on stage beside her, Allie Paradysz, who was diagnosed with lupus in 2002 at age 12, said "chances are you know someone with lupus, or you know someone who knows someone. And if you don't, you do now."
Allie's father Chris Paradysz, a member of the Foundation's Board of Directors, aims to raise awareness and funds for lupus through a potentially record-breaking "Ride for a Life Without Lupus®" bicycle ride in April 2009. Learn more at www.lifewithoutlupus.org.
The Selkowitz family of four was honored for their exceptional dedication to the lupus cause on both coasts. Adam now chairs the Foundation's West Coast division. His parents, Betsey and Arty Selkowitz, serve in national leadership positions. Brother Jed is a lupus volunteer and advocate in Atlanta.
"We've all lived with my lupus," said Adam. "We've all had to listen to the doctors, wait for the test results, learn about the side effects of the medications and deal with the realities of the disease."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio Supreme Court has reinstated the law license of a former state lawyer fired for intercepting sensitive emails between public-safety investigators and the state inspector general.
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/RggS3c) that Joshua Engel's law license was reinstated after a six-month suspension for violating professional conduct rules when he worked as the Ohio Department of Public Safety's chief legal counsel.
Engel previously pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor counts of disclosing confidential information. He was sentenced to suspended jail time of 30 days on each count.
He also agreed to cooperate with state investigators regarding the email interceptions and a botched investigation of inmates working at then-Gov. Ted Strickland's residence to funnel tobacco into prison.
A court board had noted that Engel's actions didn't benefit him or harm anyone else.

Installing the 2 new burner assemblies worked great with the new screws. New screws however, did not work with the old burner assemblies that have rusted screws I wanted to replace. New burner assemblies are slightly taller that the old ones.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
First off, unplug the machine. Next remove the existing screws in the plastic dispenser. Then remove the door, there are two screws holding the door on connecting two brackets which need to be lifted to get them to release. That gives you the access to the remove the front panel, which is done by pulling on the panel itself. Once that is done you need to remove the two screws that are in the corners upper left, and right that are holding the brackets that hold down the top of the machine. Remove the brackets by gently turning them. Once done the lid should easily lift up. The dispenser can then be disconnected by removing the 2 rubber hoses on top and the the larger rubber hose on the bottom along with the electrical connections under the unit. Keep track of which wire goes to which lead. After removing the dispenser just do everything in reverse. The machine is like new, and the repair took about 45min and saved me at least $200 dollars.
I visited several web sites looking for repair parts for my Maytag washing machine. Your site was the easiest to navigate and provided great diagrams and pictures to ensure that I purchased the correct part. I liked the ability to track the delivery of my parts via your web site. I received my parts within a couple days.
There were two parts to the repair - the Dispenser Lid and Bezel was easy - I did it myself.My wife, who normally would try to do the repair of the door lock herself has been very busy with her condo rental business. It took six weeks to get her to order the parts and then they sat in the box for two weeks before I convinced her to call her appliance repair company she uses for the renatl condos. They did a quality job for only $79.00. When my wife saw what he had to be do to repair the locking mechanism, she was convinced we made the right decision. The Maytag washer is working like new after weeks of manually adjusting the door latch, sometimes a dozen times, before it would lock and do a high speed spin.

Nissan Block & U-Bolt Kits
We offer a large selection of rear block and u-bolt kits for your Nissan with rear leaf spring suspension. Rear lift block kits include a pair of rear blocks with u-bolts and hardware.

Wizards of the Coast announced Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition on 15th August 2007, substituting all articles and other internet activities with the Countdown 4dventure page. On the next day it was declared that 4dventure is indeed the next version of D&D rules.
The lead developer for 4th edition is Mike Mearls,[1] other members of the development team including Rich Baker, Andy Collins, Bill Slavicsek, Rob Heinsoo and James Wyatt.[2][3] One of the illustrators is William O'Connor. Playtesters are to be selected from RPGA members and people who will sign up at dndinsider.com, the tests will start somewhere in September 2007.[4][5] The characters that will be used in playtesting are:
- Dwarven Cleric
- Human Fighter
- Elven Ranger
- Eladrin Rogue
- Tiefling Wizard
Known system details Edit
Levels Edit
There will be 30 character levels, as in Arcana Evolved instead of 20 as in D&D 3.5.[6] It will take the same time to reach 30th level as it does now to reach 20th.[7] Every level will grant new abilities.
- Levels 1-10 are considered "heroic", when the adventures are bound to battle orcs and giants in local encounters. Levels 11-20 are "paragon" with classic fantasy threats like dragons and saving a whole kingdom. Levels 21-30 are "epic", when it's all about saving the world or a plane of existence.[8] Leveling up will be geared towards every second or third game session.
Ability modifiers will be equal to (ability score-10)/2, rounded down/ For example, a strength score of 12 or 13 will give a bonus of +1 to strength related checks.
The game mechanics will be redesigned to be more scalable and work on all levels in the same way. This will also mean abandoning some very traditional rules like fireball doing 1d6/level damage.[9]
The highest level monster in the Monster Manual will be neither Tarrasque nor the Elder Red Dragon.
Races Edit
Known races include: Dwarves, Dragonborn, Elves, Eladrin, Halflings, Half-elves, Humans, Tieflings (PH1) as well as Gnomes, Devas, Goliaths, Half Orcs and Shifters (PH2). One of the PH1 races has been omitted, will fix that ASAP.
Humans will be made more "flavourful"[10]. Racial traits will be available and start working from the first level. Racial feats can be taken later when a character progresses in levels to enhance them. Racial substitution levels will be removed from the system in favour of such feat-powered progression[11]. Racial traits will enhance the suggested classes without enforcing any choices: for example, halflings are more lucky and dwarves are more enduring - the first trait is best for rogues and the second for fighters, but they are not completely useless elsewhere.
One classic race, gnomes, will disappear from the core books[8], but they will appear in Monster Manual[12]. Tieflings will be present in Player's Handbook, looking more demonic than before.[3] Changeling from Eberron campaign setting may be included as well.
Elves are confirmed as a playable race, though their roleplaying description changed greatly. They are now an impulsive race, which roams the woods in small tribes. They are said to have fey heritage and are relatives to eladrin. They still hate the drow, though.[13] In Faerun, ar-tel-quessir (moon elves), sun elves and gold elves will retain their names, but be treated as eladrin in terms of game mechanics.[14]
Combat Edit
HP stay. Ancient dragons are told to have over 1000 hp. Also save or die spells will be replaced with spells that take away hit points, and then certain rules will tie hp loss with conditions like "bloodied" (at half hp). Massive damage will make the character suffer from penalties for the rest of the day, but will not kill.[15]
Encounters mechanics will be completely redesigned to make it much more intuitive than the existing EL/CR system.[2] A typical monster will last 3 to 5 rounds and have an appropriately small number of special signature abilities. The number of monsters will be assumed to be the same as the number of PC party members, no more one big opponent with occasional sidekicks. However, this number will represent not the actual number of monsters but their roles, and any role can be played by either a real monster or by a trap or by something else. Thus, traps will not cap at CR 10, there will be ready to use traps up to CR 30 as well.[16]
Monsters will have a big choice of abilities, and the generic set of level-appropriate attack bonuses and defenses will make it possible to actually generate new monsters on the fly. Feral troll will have an ability to regenerate 20 hit points with a swift action instead of bluntly getting back 5 hp per round.[17]
The list of things that will be provoking attacks of opportunity will be much shorter and free of exceptions, and they will mean more to fighters than to other classes. Monsters' reach will be stated for every attack (for example, it will be possible to have reach 15 ft for hands and 5 ft for bite). Some other combat rules changes will also speed up the play. Initiative rules seem to stay the same, and there will be an action called "immediate counterattack"[18]. Full attack action will be removed.[19]
Life or death saving throws will be gone for good. AC variations (flat-footed, touch) are gone as well. They will be combined in a system of four standard defences: AC, Reflex, Fortitude, Will. That also means that the spellcasters will have to make attack rolls (for example, versus Reflex for fireball). They also can make critical hits with that.[20]
Crits are on a roll of 20 and confirmation rolls are no longer needed. Damage from crits is max weapon damage, no more double damage or multiplied damage. Magic weapons give extra damage for crits. For example: a +1 frost sword does a extra 1d6 on a crit. However, nobody knows if the extra 1d6 comes from the frost or the +1.
Miscellaneous Edit
Compatibility Edit
An event called Spellplague will be introduced in order to allow to incorporate 4ed stuff in the game[21].
A new version of OGL will be used, no d20 STL, tiered or otherwise[22].
D&D Insider Edit
This is a site where people will be able to read Dungeon and Dragon magazines as well as use some applications designed to enhance game play, such as:
- Interactive Character Sheet which allows to create a character.
- Character Builder - an application that allows to make a "virtual miniature" of a character.
- DM & player vault for keeping and sharing different game-related materials.
- Virtual Tabletop - an application that allows to actually play with other people across the globe.
Starting from 2008 the full range of benefits offered by D&D Insider will be available only to subscribers. The subscription fees have been announced as $9.95 per month. As for now D&D Insider is available for free preview until the end of 2007.
It will be possible to put "decals" like tattoos or other symbols in character visualiser.
D&D Insider will facilitate and enhance the game, but won't be necessary for any play.
The price for enabling access to online variant of a book you already have will be around $1-$2. Full subscription to D&D Insider will not be required for that[23].

Lenovo Announces New ThinkPad T, X, and S series Ultrabooksby Jarred Walton on 9/3/2013 5:03 PM EST

Back to Article
Guspaz - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkSo the only one to be under 3 pounds is a 12.5" model... At four or five pounds, it's not really an ultrabook, no matter what they're allowed to call it. Reply
meacupla - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkwell, to be fair, thinkpads have a stronger frame to make them withstand abuse and misuse better. Reply
maloman - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkOh no, the 16 GB RAM and mSATA + hdd option of the x230 had to make room for this. I'm a little sad that all laptops are getting thinner and thinner in the small formfactor space while someone that needs lots of RAM needs to jump to larger models... Reply
noeldillabough - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkDamn I was really looking forward to an update to my x230! I want the ram, the hard drive flexibility and the dock...guess they abandoned us. Time for a MacBook! I'll miss Lenovo. Reply
psuedonymous - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - link"I want the ram, the hard drive flexibility and the dock [...] Time for a Macbook"
Ah, the irony. Reply
noeldillabough - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkDon't get me started on apples "dock" lol but I expect because EVERYONE is getting a mac that they'll just have to create (or a third party will) a dock that is awesome. It's getting so bad that I have to translate mac scripts to windows daily lol. I love the x230..change is hard lol Reply
nicolaim - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkYou didn't mention the most important part of the T440s: the AHVA (IPS-like) matte LCD. Unfortunately it's 16:9 and not 16:10. There's a 23 Wh sealed battery and a swappable 23 Wh battery by default. The latter can be replaced with a thicker one with double the capacity.
The biggest flaw for me is that the M.2 slot (which replaces mSATA/mPCIe) only fits 42 mm drives, so it's currently not possible to have a decent-size SSD+HDD. Some models will come with a 24 GB SSD cache.
Lenovo got rid of the dedicated mute, volume, page forward, and page back keys.
4 GB RAM is soldered, so max is 12 GB.
The way the touchpad clicks (same as T431s) and the poorly designed TrackPoint buttons are likely to put off some buyers.
Status lights for HDD, charge, WiFi, and bluetooth are gone, as is the ThinkLight (but keyboard is backlit.)
The speakers are on the bottom, but apparently produce good sound if the laptop is on a desk. Not compatible with the OneLink Dock.
The Touch models are significantly (~200g) heavier, and MAY have glossy Gorilla Glass.
No UltraBay, no ExpressCard slot.
Student models are already on sale in Germany (around EUR 1000 with i5s) and Hong Kong (~HK$8000 with i7s if I remember right.) Reply
tuxRoller - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkIf you need more than 12GB you should probably move up to their workstation-class W series. Reply
MyDigitalSSD - Wednesday, October 23, 2013 - linkCheck out the 128GB MyDigitalSSD M.2 NGFF 42mm. It will do the trick. Reply
Conficio - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkAre the Lenovo screens TN panels or do we expect IPS or similar quality? Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkSome are IPS/AHVA, others aren't -- the spec sheets sadly aren't very clear on which is which, so we'll have to wait for retail availability. Reply
Mumrik - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkNo info on optical drives, eh? Reply
meacupla - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkopti... wha? Reply
coolhardware - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkVery glad to see that the X240 has a FHD display option, as the X220 and X230 were definitely a bit skimpy at 1366x768 IMHO.
The PPI comes in nicely at 176.23 (X240) vs 125.37 (X220) Source: http://pixensity.com/list/laptop/
Looking forward to seeing a review of these!
PS any word on how many monitors these laptops support when docked? I am hoping for at least triple monitor support... Reply
ImSpartacus - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkI wish the X240 had a 28W CPU.
I really really like the Thinkpad aesthetic, but they always have certain choices that just kill it for me. Reply
coolhardware - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkThat would definitely be nice, at least as an option. I know my X220 has a i7-2620M and Intel lists it as a max TDP of 34 watts.
http://ark.intel.com/products/52231/Intel-Core-i7-... Reply
noeldillabough - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkYeah I'd rather have a 45w option that scales down when unplugged. Reply
dyc4ha - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkI really hope my company will finally decide to replace my dying x201 with these x240... Reply
ImSpartacus - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkThe X240 section is FUBARed.
The pictures are of the X240s.
The X240s is missing, aside from those pictures.
The X240 table and paragraph starting prices conflict. One of them is probably for the X240s. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkThe pictures say X240s but the press release and spec sheets say nothing of the X240s and only mention the X240. So as to what the differences are, I can't say, but I'd guess the specs are for the X240 and that the X240s is largely the same. Reply
Vigneshj - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkJarred, any words about W-Series yet - W540? I wish they don't bring much changes for keyboard on W series. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkNothing that I've heard; probably waiting for new GPUs before the refresh? Or maybe not. Usually the mobile workstations lag behind new technology changes by around six months, so I'd guess December/January for most of the big names (Dell, Lenovo, HP) to update to Haswell, give or take. Reply

Uhm, I'm here in Berlin for the IFA with danish channel "Living Smart TV" and the time is 7.30am..... the IFA is not open til later today so it's somewhat surprising to see products already HAVING been launched when the show is not even open :) Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkSorry -- I got the information from Lenovo in a pre-IFA briefing, so I assumed it was announced a the show. I guess the correct statement is announced prior to IFA? Reply

ThinkPads have excellent keyboard shortcuts, these don't
These alienating craptops are NOT Thinkpads Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkBuild quality should still be good, Lenovo has been futzing with their ThinkPad keyboards for a while now, and many people actually think TrackPoint is inferior and should die (like me). A 2x larger touchpad with good gesture support is much better for everything I do at least. And what "excellent keyboard shortcuts" are missing -- for that matter, what's "excellent" about the pretty much standard keyboard shortcuts on prior ThinkPads? Reply
gobaers - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkHeresy! I can't imagine buying a laptop without TrackPoint. That means, unfortunately, that I'm locked into Thinkpad laptops.
I've heard, for at first, touchpad is easier so most opt for that and get used to it. If you put some work into it, trackpoints are superior. However, if you get to a mastery level, I've heard that it goes back to touchpads.
Having used TrackPoint for so long, retraining to touchpad sounds annoying in the extreme. Besides, being able to mouse while still having hands on the keyboard, and scrolling pages at the flick of a finger, is something I'm loath to give up. Reply
gobaers - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkOne more thing: whenever I see non-Thinkpad people fumble with the touchpad, I just laugh at their fumbling gestures. It just looks slow and silly. Reply
noeldillabough - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI've been using Thinkpads since they were IBM machines and I still can't use the trackpad lol. Reply
noeldillabough - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkActually the new keyboard (on the x230) which I thought I woudl HATE is awesome. Really! I notice immediateyl when I'm on a crappy keyboard (any chiclet including macs lol) and this one is actually quite good. Plus while programming I often hit cursor/pgup/pgdn and its just convenient where they are.
Definatley would miss the trackbutton buttons and the extra ram...

defter - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkWhen we get small affordable laptops with decent screens?
X240 costs over $1000 but comes with 1366x768 resolution by default, I wonder how much you need to pay to get 1920x1080? At the same time Nexus 7 with the same resolution is sold at $229, what's so difficult of putting this resolution to <$1000 laptops? Full HD should be the default resolution for cheap laptops while expensive laptops should move to 2560x1440 or better.
Also the connectivity is silly, X240 lacks DP but has VGA!? How about ditching ancient VGA and putting both HDMI and DP so you can use two external screens at the same time digitally and need less adapters?
What I want from the laptop is:
- small (<=13")
- decent screen (at least 1920x1080)
- removable battery
- two DIMM slots
- at least 3xUSB and Ethernet
- affordable (way less than $1000)
Such laptops existed in the past, almost three years ago I bought Lenovo Edge 11 with these specs (except the display resolution) for less than $600. Now it's impossible to find similar, but with a better display even if you pay double. I would expect that the technology has advanced enough for full HD displays be affordable enough for this. Phone, tablet, and monitor (27" 2560x1440 monitors for $300) market point to this way, but laptops still have worse resolution than almost 10 years ago. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - link10 years is pushing it -- 10 years ago good laptops generally had 1400x1050 or 1280x1024 LCDs, and they had relatively poor contrast with maximum brightness levels of 150 nits or so. LEDs improved brightness but often resulted in worse colors, and the race to the bottom really hurt contrast, quality, and uptake of IPS and similar solutions. That's starting to change, but it hasn't happened 100% yet.
For the rest: Windows still has lousy dpi scaling (8.1 is supposed to improve this, but only for Win8 Apps, not legacy stuff AFAICT), and if you have too small a dot pitch you end up with text that's hard to read and the older generation -- the people most likely to use a ThinkPad -- get angry. On a 12.5" screen, I can see some people wanting 1366x768, others wanting 1600x900, and still others pushing for 1920x1080, and the X240 at least offers two of those.
Comparing a 12.5" screen to 7" displays is apples and oranges, and the OS makes 1080p on a 7" display usable with Android where it wouldn't be with Windows. Likewise, a 2560x1440 grade B panel sold for $350 is totally different from a laptop display. Realistically, I think the 1080p 13" IPS displays probably cost around $125-$150 right now, so it's not that bad, but manufacturers are still slow to put them into laptops. They hate increasing BoM and it comes back to bite them in the butt.
VGA is still around because tons of businesses have projectors and other equipment that still "works fine" and only supports VGA input, so almost all business laptops continue to include VGA. When will VGA truly die and go away? Probably 10 years. :-\
For your wish list:
13" or smaller laptops are plentiful, so that's not a problem.
Decent screens are available (X240, some Sony, various other Ultrabooks) as well.
Removable batteries add to the size and girth of a laptop and so most Ultrabooks avoid them
Two SO-DIMM slots makes a thicker laptop, so Ultrabooks rarely have more than one and many solder the RAM.
3 x USB is possible, but on the cramped confines of 13" and smaller it is difficult to do while getting everything else in place (mostly just an engineering problem, so doing it would increase costs).
Ethernet has a required thickness and again, a lot of Ultrabooks skip it just to be thinner.
Affordable? Well, with all the above, you're basically going the opposite direction.
Your Edge 11 has a lousy quality display, no SSD, and an old CULV processor that's less than half the performance of modern budget laptops. Prices on CPUs haven't really come down; the CPUs are just faster, so budget laptops are still $600 -- and don't have the various extras you're after. Finding a replacement for your Edge 11 that's a good upgrade will probably mean spending $600 again, and you'd end up with something that is similar in overall quality and doesn't have an SSD.
Could someone do all of the above for $1000? Almost certainly. But then they'd have to either sell at a very tiny profit (like less than 5%) and risk losing money, and when most people still prefer $500 to $600 laptops it's a risk. So they make the prices higher to reduce the total risk, which in turn reduces the market interest. Heh. But an MBA11 has an estimated BoM of $700 and it still misses on the quality display, so add another $100, and then add another $100 for the engineering resources required to get the rest of your list. Apple is the most likely company to build what you're after, and I think they'd charge $1500+. Reply

gobaers - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkThinkPads have never been known to have consumer GPU options. Some have workstation graphics options, but they were mediocre at best for gaming. I don't think these are the laptops you are looking for. Reply
gobaers - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI'm obligated to post my thoughts on any article on new ThinkPads. All I want are:
* The old keyboard layout. I'm fine if you want to switch to chiclet keys, I just need to delete/home/end/pgup/pgdn keys in the corner, so I can hit them consistently without looking at my keyboard.
* Please release a nice display (preferably IPS) with enough vertical space. 16:10 < 4:3 < 3:2. We use these to work, I can't fit a full page of text with a short display. I don't need to watch movies on this.
* Thin bezels around screen, narrower laptops. The T420s I'm typing on has an extra inch of unneeded horizontal size.
* Trackpoint buttons. I can't believe I'm having to spell this out now. Being able to use it without looking at it leads to efficiency. Though I haven't tried the new TrackPoint buttons, since they are not raised buttons, I'm pretty sure ergonomics will suffer.
That's it. If you need to make changes to keep up with the times, so be it. These are what I think constitutes the strengths of the ThinkPad design. If these changes make the laptop more expensive, that's fine. This is supposed to be an enterprise product made for work. Reply

defter - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - link"10 years is pushing it"
Long time ago I used IBM T60 that was released in 2006 (or earlier) and had 1600x1200 resolution, so that's 7-8 years :)
About the DPI scaling, it works good enough for me in Windows 7, so I don't see a big issue here.
If 13" 1920x1080 panel costs $120-$150 (it's probably less since 32" 1920x1080 panels costs below $100), then there is no reason why they can't be used it in $600 laptops.
About the connections, I don't care about ultimate thinness, and my current 11.6" laptop has three USBs ports, two DIMM slots and ethernet port, so this definitely can be done in a small laptop.
"Your Edge 11 has a lousy quality display, no SSD, and an old CULV processor that's less than half the performance of modern budget laptops."
I have 17W i3. While it's significantly slower than Haswell, it's not less than half performance compared to Haswell 17W i3s. And most of modern budget laptops are still based on Ivy Bridge. I doubt that the display is much lousier than for example last years >$1000 X230 (same 1366x768 resolution).
I actually don't care much about SSDs in default configurations since they are often too small or slow. I rather buy a suitable $100-$150 SSD myself. My dream laptop would have large enough (80mm?) M.2 slot for SSD and a space for 2.5" HDD. This way one could have both the speed of SSD and a large storage capacity.
I agree that prices for the CPUs in the same class have not decreased, but prices for other components, especially display have decreased a lot. That's why I don't understand why it's so difficult to make $600 laptop, that has equivalent components to 3-year old $600 laptop (naturally with a modern processor, etc.) and a better (higher resolution) display!? I'm not asking for i7 or 512GB SSD, or some other exotic components. Reply

Both its colonel, J. F. Dowdell, and its lieutenant-colonel, A. A. Greene, were wounded in this fight, besides forty-three of the men. The regiment went into battle with 304 men, so that its loss was heavy.General Little, in whose division it was, was killed at Iuka. In the battle of Corinth, October 3-5, 1862, it lost heavily and its brigade commander, General Martin, was killed. Brigaded under General Moore, the winter of 1862-63 was spent in Mississippi.It took part at Chickasaw Bayou, was sent to Sunflower river, but returned before the close of the spring; was in the battles of Port Gibson, May 1, 1863, and Baker's Creek, May 16th, where it lost heavily.From that time till July 4th it formed part of the garrison at Vicksburg, and was captured with that place, where it had suffered greatly from losses and privations.

We finally landed in Trujillo and all the bags made it again. Each time we reclaimed the auger, the ski bag (where the auger was stored) had clearly been opened and checked to see what the heck was in the bag. We got to Trujillo at about 7:30 in the morning, and it was pretty chilly. Due to that, and the fact that Ari who is Michele's co-director of the research down here was postponed in Miami, we ended up staying at a hotel called Huankarute in Huanchaco, a little surfing town on the coast. The four of us crashed in this little room that has two single beds and a double and woke up again at about 2 pm. It was nice and sunny when we got up and you didn't need a sweatshirt or anything when we went for lunch. We met up with Airielle, a student from California State University at Sacramento, who will be going out in the field with us and went to a little seafood bar about 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The food was really, really good, and an interesting experience. It was real seafood-something we don't get very often in Denver. There are a bunch of street animals around-it's really different from home. The dogs are really mangy and have to forage for food-often begging at the bars and food areas.
Ari flew in at about 3 today and we met up with her at the seafood place. Michele and Ari had called a van to take us to Magdalena de Cao, because the car they were going to rent didn't have the right insurance, and we are going to get the car tomorrow. It was about an hour drive, and the van driver was fairly chaotic and it didn't follow any of the driving rules that we're used to. There weren't any seat belts in the van, and the guy was driving at an average speed of about 120 km/hr.
Casa Wiese in Magdalena de Cao, where we are staying, is amazing. There is a main house, that has the kitchen, a conference type room, a living room area and a dining area, and then there is the bunkhouse area, a garden and a large back yard. Everything is walled in, and there is barbed wire over the gate in the back. There is also an empty pool in the back. It is a beautiful house, and the bunkhouse is very nice as well. Lauren, Clare, Airielle and I share a 2 bunk bedroom, and Michele and Ari are sharing the other guest room. It was only about 8:30 when we got to the house and we met Elio and Margarita, the caretakers of the house. They are super nice and Margarita is a very good cook. We all crashed at about 10 pm.

Premier discusses budget, priorities
Premier Christy Clark discussed the provincial government's priorities for the coming year — and what they mean for business — at a Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce luncheon Friday at Crown Isle.
"When I became premier two years ago, I said I was going to balance the budget," Clark said. "I wasn't unique in that. Every premier across the country said they were going to balance the budget two years ago."
But B.C. and Saskatchewan are the only provinces to do so.
"We got there because we have worked hard over 12 years to look after your money," said Clark, adding "sound fiscal management" has enabled a new regional hospital in the Comox Valley, a new trades training centre at North Island College and a new francophone school.
Clark also touched on new relationships with Asia and India that are helping drive the economy; a B.C. Prosperity Fund intended to solve the debt problem; and the importance of freeing up small business from bureaucracy.
"We are at a crossroads here in British Columbia, right now," Clark said. "We have this huge opportunity ahead of us, but we have a tremendous risk if we don't stay on our path. We have to make those right decisions today."

Best Uses
I ride a mix of dirt/gravel trails and paved surfaces. Sometimes I forget my cleated shoes. This gives me the option of switching between clipped or not on the fly. Extra advantage: the platform side is hollow in the middle, allowing my cleat to protrude down below the plane of the pedal. Simply clip out, flip the pedal, and step on a firm flat surface with my cleat out of the way. Perfect when encountering crossings and pedestrians on an urban trail. Once clear I just flip to the other side and clip back in.
Best Uses
If u want to "ease" into clipless pedals, these are a good choice! I can choose to be clipped in or I can flip the pedal and be completely unattached to the bike! Nice product for those learning to use clipless pedals!
Best Uses
These are really nice pedals--the clip on pedals have a really good feel to them and then you have the option to go with regular pedals on family rides to the park.
Best Uses
These pedals are great. I am a person that has many bikes. I don't always put on my cycling shoes when I hop on my bike, these pedals are on some of my recreation bikes so I always have the option. They are great and I highly recommend them.
Best Uses
I ride my bike for exercise and the enjoyment of the open road. I live in the country and try to take different roads to explore the area. The roads can be pretty rough in places. After a lot of thought, I decided to buy new pedals and bike shoes. I wanted something that was versatile and would allow me to ride without my bike shoes. These pedals have been great. The whole bike-shoe/clipped-to-the-pedal thing is something to get used to, but I'm getting there and find it easier to use every day.

I don't know if ya boys are involved in Ryan Suter at all, but they sure are not even a little bit in on Zach Parise, and weren't even in touch with his camp yesterday.
So, I'm thinking that today, after Parise makes his "Decision" on to which team he will take his talents, for $80 million or more over 10 years or more, maybe the Rick Nash sweepstakes heat up.
That is, if Scott Howson gets a little more realistic. If not, then Nash won't be coming to New York either.
But today we're pretty sure that two of the top, if not the top two, free agents of 2012, will be signed. So it should be better than yesterday's swap of tough guys and overpaying for players who are either over the hill or who had one big year.
Stay tuned.

NOT for the first time in his career, Mitchell Starc is the last man standing out of Australia's next-generation pace quartet after Josh Hazlewood suffered another injury on Wednesday.
Hazlewood's Test summer is over after becoming the latest Australian fast bowler to break down this season, joining fellow gun youngsters Pat Cummins and James Pattinson on the sidelines.
The giant New South Wales quick has been diagnosed with a foot injury that will keep him out of action for up to six weeks, ruling out any chance of him making his Test debut against Sri Lanka.
Hazlewood has reported soreness in his left foot in the same region where he suffered a stress fracture last January, and Cricket Australia, rather than run the risk of the 21-year-old doing further damage, has opted for a cautious approach.
''Because of his age and history with this type of injury, he will have a short break from bowling for a few weeks and be back playing in approximately four to six weeks,'' CA's chief medical officer Justin Paoloni said in a statement.
The injury, Hazlewood's third in as many summers, has come at a time when he looked close to breaking into Australia's Test team.
John Hastings, who pipped Hazlewood for a baggy green last week, has a back complaint which has resulted in him being ruled out by CA from playing for the Melbourne Stars in their opening Big Bash League match on Friday night.
Apart from the injuries to Hazlewood and Hastings, the Big Bash League has been struck by a series of blows on the eve of its second edition, with Test captain Michael Clarke withdrawn from Saturday's Sydney derby and Brisbane deprived of star attractions Dale Steyn and Daniel Vettori.
Clarke was scratched due to back soreness from the Sydney Thunder line-up to play the defending champions Sydney Sixers at the SCG and will be replaced by Usman Khawaja.
Vettori, the New Zealand spinner, was due to play for the Heat but is out of the tournament completely with an Achilles injury, while Ben Hilfenhaus (Hobart Hurricanes) is also sidelined this weekend.
They are unfortunate setbacks for the fledgling competition, but there is anger over the backflip of Cricket South Africa in making Steyn unavailable for the one-match appearance he was to have made for the Heat against Ricky Ponting's Hurricanes at the Gabba on Sunday.
CSA has rejected the protests of Cricket Australia to allow Steyn to honour his short-term contract, instead insisting that he return home to play in a domestic one-day semi-final for his provincial side, Cape Cobras.
South Africa has, at the last minute, withdrawn a no-objection certificate that had been sent to the Heat, leaving officials and players angry. ''We conducted all of our negotiations with Dale and his management in good faith and fulfilled all requirements that the BBL needed in order to sign him as one of our international players …'' Heat general manager Andrew Blucher said.
''Dale is also unhappy with this outcome. He was looking forward to the match, and of course has a very good relationship with our coach Darren Lehmann. He and his manager are embarrassed and upset about the way things have turned out, considering we were crystal clear with what we had communicated to Cricket South Africa.
''We would have imagined that CSA and the Cobras would have consulted and worked out the various scenarios that would have been involved. For that not to happen is quite extraordinary and highly unprofessional.''

"The quality of the paper and envelope are great. They are thick and smooth — very professional. You can choose from a few shades for the "THANK YOU" words. I went with pure white, which made it brighter than the sample image. One thing about the printing: it's darker than the online image shows. It's still a beautiful purple color, just a really dark one."
"We wanted the ability to have one main picture on the front and then a few extra ones inside on our wedding thank you cards. This seemed to be the only one that allowed this. It was easy to add photos and change the design. The end product is amazing and we changed the design to have a plain white background so it didn't crash as much with our save the dates and wedding invitations. I'm so excited to send these out!"
"This is my second purchase from wedding paper divas and again I am very happy with my product. Easy site to navigate, super fast delivery all the way to NZ. The print and paper quality would have been perfect if the bottom pictures hadn't been cropped slightly. They still look great but it may pay to check your not going to lose anything important if the bottom is cropped just a smidge. Again very pleased with this company :)"
"This is a really classy thank you note. I had people I wrote a thank you note to thanking me for the beautiful thank you."
