Thai Curry Noodle Bowl with Sweet Potatoes & Chicken

Thai Red Curry with Whole Grain Udon Noodles
Oh, Heidi. The 101 Cookbooks creator was instrumental in lighting my cooking fire a year and a half ago. Since stumbling across her blog I've come to see appreciate the beauty of seasonal cooking and off-the-beaten-path ingredients such as whole grain udon noodles, coconut oil, and shoyu sauce. All of which play a staring role in this delicious, slurp-tastic bowl of hearty, wholesome food. Part of the fun for me of cooking familiar dishes composed of unfamiliar ingredients is the the thrill of the hunt. Trolling the aisles of the MASSIVE Whole Foods here in Chicago and making a pilgrimage to the beloved Green Grocer for ingredients is all part of fun (NOTE: impatient boyfriends may not feel the same way.)
Thai Red Curry with Whole Grain Udon Noodles
3 tablespoons coconut oil
12 oz chicken breasts
fine grain sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 oz dried whole grain or whole wheat udon noodles
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons red curry paste
2 teaspoons turmeric
2 tablespoons shoyu sauce, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon cane sugar
14 oz can coconut milk
2 cups vegetable stock or water
Juice of 1 lime, plus more wedges for serving
1/3 cup slivered shallots
Large handful of peanuts
Large handful of cilantro, chopped
1.) Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grab your dutch oven and heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium-high heat until swirling and hot. Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side without moving it until it is nicely browned and detaches from the bottom of the pan with minimal prodding. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more. Set aside. When cooled, break apart chicken into chunks with a fork. Wipe out the dutch oven with a paper towel but do not wash.
2.) Heat a pot of water until boiling. Salt generously and cook noodles until cooked but still quite firm; according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
3.) Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil over medium-high heat in your dutch oven. Add garlic, onion, and curry paste, using your wooden spoon to distribute the paste across the mixture. Cook for 2 minutes; until fragrant. Add chicken, turmeric, sugar, and shoyu sauce and and stir to coat. Add coconut milk and vegetable stock, bring to a boil, and then simmer gently for 5 minutes.
4.) Remove from heat and stir in noodles and limes juice. Ladle into bowls and serve garnished with a sprinkling of shallots, peanuts, cilantro, and wedges of lime.

Veggie-Heavy Black Bean Chili with Dark Ale
Chicago's fleeting spring weather took a turn for the worse earlier this week, and I found myself craving a pot of warming chili after a particularly violent battle with the wind on my way home. Hence, I go from Spring Soba Noodles to this hearty meal. The generous amounts of vegetables do make for a somewhat lighter chili. Make sure to really go for it with the garnishes of cilantro, lime juice, and queso fresco – they truly make the dish. I also served this with my favorite cornbread – 101 Cookbook's Firecracker Cornbread.
Veggie-Heavy Black Bean Chili with Dark Ale
Serves 4
The Beans
1 cup dried black beans, soaked overnight (or two 14 oz cans)
1 1/2 teaspoons fine grain sea salt
few pinches of dried Mexican oregano (if using dried black beans)
The Chili
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, cut into a 1/4″ dice
7 garlic cloves, minced
2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, minced
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 large red bell pepper, diced
12 oz dark ale
14 oz can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups corn, fresh or frozen
juice of half a lime
The Garnishes
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
crumbled queso fresco
lime wedges
1.) If using dried beans – Drain from soaking liquid, place in a large saucepan, and cover with an ample amount of cold water. Add a few pinches of Mexican oregano, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until beans are tender, but still quite firm to the bite, as you will finish cooking them alongside the rest of the ingredients; about 30-50 minutes, depending on how old your beans are. Season with the salt after the first 30 minutes. When beans are nearly cooked through, drain, and set aside.
2.) Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic, chiles, cumin, and a few pinches of salt, and saute for 5 minutes more. Add bell pepper and saute for 5 more minutes; until your ingredients have taken on a delicious golden hue and your kitchen is aromatic.
3.) Stir in beans, ale, tomatoes, and corn. Bring chili to a boil, and reduce heat to low and simmer gently for about 45 minutes; until thickened slightly. It is important that you are, indeed, simmering the beans (a few bubbles gently rising to the surface), and not boiling them, as this will cause your beans to split open. When finished cooking, taste for salt and season with more, if necessary. If the beans taste flat, don't fret – they just need more salt. Stir in the lime juice.
4.) To serve, garnish with generous amounts of cilantro, queso fresco, and pass additional lime wedges around the table.

Having not an inkling of an idea as to what posole was prior to Heidi's post on the subject over at 101 Cookbooks, I was instantly intrigued by the look of these beguiling little flowering kernels of corn. Posole is whole corn kernels that have been soaked in lime juice. The acid from the lime loosens the skin of the kernel, which is then scrubbed off, and then the corn is dried, which is how you buy it in stores. For those of you that are as obsessed with the comforting ancient Mexican goodness of masa harina, corn tortillas, and tamales as I am, you'll want to try this. A bowl of hearty, uncomplicated, nutritious ingredients for dinner.
Though I was unable to find a single bag of posole at my usual stops (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's… duh), I ordered a few bags (oh, alright, and some other goodies) from The Native Seed, a great little operation running out of Tuscon, AZ that stocks heirloom beans, chile powders, salsas, grains, and numerous other Southwestern delights.
Though Cowboy was somewhat put off by the idea of posole for dinner ("What's in it again? Just corn? No other vegetables? No MEAT?") he quieted down and let me do my thing in the kitch for a few hours. He was pleasantly surprised, and ended up digging the dinner. We're both obsessed with posole now!
Red Posole
1 lb. dried hominy (soaked overnight)
1 cup diced onion
5 medium garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 heaping teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
3 large dried red New Mexican chile peppers, halved, stems & most of the seeds removed (I left a few in for a more mellow taste)
3 teaspoons sea salt
lime juice, to taste
crumbled queso fresco or, alternately, parmesan, for garnish
Red Sauce
1 tablespoons mild-flavored olive oil
2 tablespoons onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/1 teaspoon dried New Mexican oregano
1 tablespoons unbleached white flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup ground red New Mexican Chile chile
3/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
juice from a quarter of one lime
Corn Tortilla Strips
3 or 4 corn tortillas
a little mild flavored olive oil, for frying
1.) Drain the posole after its overnight soaking, place it in a large pot along with the onion, garlic, oregano, and peppers, and cover with 3 ½ quarts water.
2.) Bring to a boil, and simmer until the posole is tender, but still retains a substantial, pleasantly chewy texture, and many of the kernels have literally flowered, and other burst into popcorn-esque shapes. Depending on the age of your posole, this can take anywhere from 1-2 hours.
3.) Season with a couple teaspoons of salt about halfway through the cooking process. Season again once the posole is fully cooked.
4.) While the posole is cooking, make the red sauce. In a medium bow, whisk the ground chile into 1 ¼ cups water.
5.) Heat olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over a medium flame. When hot, add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes, until they have begun to brown.
6.) Add the onion, garlic, and oregano, and sauté a few minutes more.
7.)Add the flour and cumin, and stir continuously for another minute or so.
8.) Whisk the chile water into the saucepan, and then continue stirring with a wooden spoon until it thickens a little.
9.) Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minute.
10.) Stir in lime juice, and season with a bit more salt if you'd like.
11.) Make friend corn tortilla strips for garnish while posole is still cooking. Brush 3 or 4 corn tortillas with a bit of olive oil. Cut thin strips across 5 or 6 corn tortillas, halving the longer strips. Fry strips in a nonstick pan over a medium flame until stiffened and yummy.
12.) When the posole has finally burst into beautiful little balls of popcorn and flowers, stir ½ cup of the smoky yummy red sauce into the posole. You may want to add a little more red sauce before serving. I added maybe only a tablespoon more, if that.
13.) Garnish with tortilla strips and cheese*.
*Cheese is an ESSENTIAL garnish for this, in my opinion. It's sorely needed to balance the dry smoky heat of the chiles – queso fresco, or even parmesan if you're feeling lazy, beautifully bind the elements of this dish to create something truly special.
This recipe way adapted from Deborah Madisons's cooking bible Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone.

Don't understand why these companies always promise next day delivery and CHARGE you for it... yet it never arrives... I have now spent all day at my delivery address and found out that the driver has not even received it.
The other aspect that I strongly dislike about this website is that you have to purchase everything on credit... I reluctantly joined up because the boots on offer were half price, but was shocked that the only way to purchase these were through a credit scheme.
I wish I had read these reviews before I purchased!

Bobby Capó
He later moved to New York and became the musical idol of Cuba in the 40's and famous throughout Latin America. He was a member of the famous orchestra of Xavier Cougat, but it was his recordings as a solo vocalist that really brought him fame around the world. His best known compositions were "Piel Canela" (lyrics), "El negro bembón" (lyrics), "El bardo", "Luna de miel en Puerto Rico", "Sin fe", "Triángulo" and "María Luisa". His nostalgia for his beloved Puerto Rico inspired classic songs such as "Soñando con Puerto Rico" (lyrics).
Capó mastered many different musical genres and was the first Puerto Rican to compose an internationally acclaimed ballad with his composition of "Llorando me dormí". This was followed by many others such as, Sale el Sol, sung here by the legendary "Sonero Mayor", Ismael Rivera. During the 60's he composed the noted piece: "Jacqueline", dedicated to Jacqueline Kennedy Bouvier, the first lady of the United States at the time.
By the decade of the 70's, Capó worked in the Puerto Rico Department of Labor's Division of Migration in New York. He died on 18 December, 1989.

Daniel Radcliffe on camping scenes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Daniel Radcliffe gave the Sunday Mail some exclusive information about the camping scenes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, filmed on the shores of Loch Etive, near Oban, in Scotland. Here's what he had to say:
"We were only in Scotland for one night to do the camping scenes but it was magic.
"The mountains up there looked kind of blue and the weather was great. It was fun but I am not sure how well I would cope if I really went camping.
"I'm sure I would enjoy it as long as there was someone to cook for me.
"I have done caravan holidays and they were great.
"It was when we were in a caravan in Devon that I experienced my first thunderstorm. I was terrified."
He also spoke directly about what we should expect in the first Deathly Hallows movie:
"Part I is a road movie.
We are not in Hogwarts at all and it's going to look very different, "And the action is going to be pretty extraordinary."
Don't forget: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is scheduled to be released on 19 November 2010 (2010-11-19) (Part I) and 15 July 2011 (2011-07-15) (Part II).

In "Un Chien Andalou," is a real eyeball being sliced?
Dear Straight Dope:
In a high-school painting class we watched a live-action short film made by Dali (don't remember date or title) that showed what looked like a human eye being cut open with a razor. After the movie, some of my more squeamish classmates wanted to know if someone cut a real eye for the sake of art. One student (a Dali admirer) suspected that they used a real eye, but I don't know where she got her information. I'm curious to know whether I witnessed an eye being destroyed or just some eye-catching (no pun intended) effects. Any ideas?
SDStaff Eutychus replies:
It was indeed a real eyeball, although not human. What actually got sliced was a calf's eye, substituted for the woman's eye the camera initially focuses on. The scene definitely makes you want to short any stock you may have in the Acme Straight Razor Co.
The film was entitled Un Chien Andalou and was created by surrealists Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali in 1928. It's a short film, only 16 minutes long, but those 16 minutes contain some of the most bizarre images ever put on film. (And I'm including Hannibal!) We have the aforementioned eyeball-slicing scene, a scene of a man dragging a grand piano on which are piled dead donkeys, a hand crawling with ants, two living statues as seen from the torso up. To today's sophisticated film-watcher it all seems to point to some hidden meaning. But don't try to look for any real meaning in the film. It's purposely not there. When Buñuel and Dali met in Paris in the late 1920s and decided to make a film, their express purpose was that "no idea or image that might lend itself to a rational explanation of any kind would be accepted." So we have a series of images and quick-cuts with no relation to each other. Even the title (translation : "An Andalusian Dog") is devoid of any meaning in relation to the film. As Buñuel said, "We had to open all doors to the irrational and keep only those images that surprised us, without trying to explain why."
If there is any point to the film beyond the shock value, maybe it's in our all too human attempts to find meaning where there is none.
The trailer for the film, including the eye-slicing scene, can be seen online at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020530/.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I've been running into some issues with RichText in 22.214.171.124. 2.8 isn't an option for me based on the issue I submitted under issue tracker.
If I have a string in "Value" on a cell and then try to remvoe it and insert RichText I have to set "IsRichText=true" otherwise it shows the markup. This happens even if I set "Value=nothing" first.
If I insert "abc" usign RichText into "C2" and then insert "hij" into "C3" I end up with "abchij" in "C3". This also happens across columns and seems to be a running concantenation.
So if I insert into "A4", "B5", "C2", "D4" in that order "D4" will end up as a giant concantenation of them all, and the previous entries will be concantenations of the values that came before. Calling
RichText.Clear before I start working with each cell fixed the issue for me.
OK, i'll have a look at that.
I'll try and make an example for these as well.
I tried making a simple example to show this... but I can't get it to happenin my simple examples on either version (2.7/2.8). But sicne I found the work around it's not a big deal for me at the moment.
Different RichText issue that I can reproduce and have a sample for. If I add rich text to a cell, then add another one and bold it, and finally add a third one everything from the bold one on get's bolded even though I didn't
say too. Is this by design or a bug?

[WEST VIRGINIA-PRINCETON] Ivy League champion Princeton got goals by Lynessa McGee and Jen Hoy and held off a West Virginia comeback for a 2-1 win in the first round of the NCAA Women's Tournament, its 12th in a row.
"To be able to beat West Virginia on their home field is really special," Princeton coach Julie Shackford said. "This team has found a way to win all season, with some injuries and setbacks, and as coaches we couldn't be any prouder of them."
McGee scored in the fifth minute, lifting a shot over the outstretched arm and off the fingertips of goalkeeper Sara Keane.
Hoy added to the lead with her 18th goal in the 54th minute, zipping past and through defenders for a tap-in shot.
West Virginia got on the board with an 82nd-minute goal from scoring leader Frances Silva, but that was as close as the Mountaineers came.
"I think it was a little bit of an emotional rollercoaster going through the game," Shackford said. "I think that in the second half especially, our defense tightened up and really made some big plays. We have to give a lot of credit to Claire for coming up big both in the first half and the second half."
Nov. 10 in Morgantown, W.Va.
West Virginia 1 Princeton 2. Goals: McGee 5, Hoy 54; Silva (Maloney) 82.
West Virginia -- Keane, Emaus, Crowder, McCarthy, M.Smith, Rodriguez, Hill, Blosser, Maloney, Silva, Schwindel. Subs: Steyn, Utley, Connelly.
Princeton -- Pincairo, Metcalf-Leggette, Nabatoff, K.Smith, Ragazzo, Lazo, Guzman, Sheehy, Blosser, Hoy, McGee. Subs: Haley, Hartigan, Sura.

With the OK magazine deal coming to a close, Mr and Mrs Jordan Andre have started to look elsewhere to fund their extravagant lifestyle.
Mr Andre, twice failed pop star and I'm a celebrity get me out of here contestant, is said now to be pushing Mrs Andre (real name Mrs Katie Jordan-Wabs Andre nee Price) to anything providing she leaves the glamour modelling behind her.
"Yeah, like, you know, she's me missus now, and no missus of mine is gonna get her t**s out, they're like, you know, mine"
Mrs Andre, has been in talks about several projects, the latest being a toilet roll holder (pictured above) based on her wedding dress. "… well, I looked lush and really horny so I wanna give every young lad somefing good to look at when they're on the bog. Means they don't have to sneak skin mags in dunnit…"
Mrs Andre, 27 and a mother of two, was delighted to be able to have her very own Cinderella style wedding and is not going to be slow on the uptake to profit out of it.
Her autobiography, 'Being Jordan' has already sold 500,000 copies in hard back and is considered a best seller, part 2 'Still being Jordan' is pencilled in for release Spring 2006 with part three, 'I'm still Jordan' the following year.
Exclusive photos from the wedding are said to be in Part 2 and as Mrs Andre pointed out '… if you look closely in the background, you can see some real stars dancing at the disco, like Maxwell and Saskia from Big Brother, and the Notts County centre half, whats-his-name? You will get the recipes from the reception, you know, how to put sausages on sticks and stuff. There is allsorts in it, and I don't mean them Bertie Bassett ones.'
"My books are lush, I've not read them, but they've got wicked pictures in them' said the inflated celebrity 'I look really great and Pete looks really fit'.
Mr Andre, currently away on a sell out tour, was unavailable to comment but his management team said that 'He is very excited about the new products, and hope that it keeps Mrs Andre busy'.

A Charleston man was arrested in Monongalia County after a suspicious package was found by the Inspectors of the United States Postal Service.
The Mon Valley Drug Task Force arrested Casey Fitzgerald, 21, Friday afternoon.
The Mon Valley Drug Task Force was informed about a suspicious package that was intended for an address in Morgantown.
Agents utilized a K9 to assist with determining that the package contained a controlled substance.
A search warrant was later conducted which determined the contents of the package to be bulk marijuana in excess of ten pounds, according to a press release.
Agents identified the recipient of the package and took Fitzgerald into custody.
He was arraigned Monongalia County Magistrate Holepit and was held on $25,000 bond.
The investigation is ongoing and other suspects have been identified in the operation using the U.S. Postal Service in the marijuana delivery scheme, the press release said.
The U.S. Attorney's Office and the State Prosecuting Attorney's Office will be involved in determining additional charges and whether others will be charged as a result of the investigation.
The Mon Valley Drug Task Force is made up of the Morgantown Police Department and Monongalia County Sheriff's Department.

Finding the best stocks out of the thousands on offer isn't easy, but screening for those with the strongest annual earnings growth is a good way to start.
Research by IBD founder and Chairman William O'Neil has shown that the biggest stock market winners over the past century have sustained strong profit growth for at least three years before beginning their big runs. That's why the "A" in IBD's CAN SLIM investment system stands for annual earnings.
Look for annual profits to grow at an average rate of at least 25% over three to five years. Often, the biggest winners show growth rates of 50%, 100% or more. Some winners that met that criteria in recent years include Baidu (BIDU), Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL).
"It's the combination of strong earnings in the last several quarters plus a record of solid growth in the recent years that creates a superb stock, or at least one with a higher probability of success during an uptrending general market," O'Neil wrote in "How to Make Money in Stocks."
Pay special attention to the quality of earnings growth. Companies that show strong annual profit growth but anemic annual sales increases are likely cutting costs to keep profits high. Conversely, if sales growth is outpacing profit growth and margins are narrowing, the company's products may be facing tough competition or its costs are too high.
That's why strong annual revenue growth is also desirable. Companies that increase sales 25% or more annually, especially during periods of weak consumer demand, like now, are likely leaders in their industries.
Such companies typically create new or more competitive products or services than their rivals. Some create entirely new markets, such as Apple's iPods and iPhones.
Annual EPS can be found in mini charts throughout IBD, including the IBD 50 and Stock Spotlight. The data can also be found in IBD Stock Checkup at Investors.com. A high EPS Rating suggests that a company holds strong annual profit growth.
Some current IBD 50 stocks with top-notch annual earnings growth rates are shown in the accompanying table.
IBD research shows that leading stocks that staged big runs from 1980 to 2000 held median annual earnings growth of 36% at the start of their stock price moves. Three of four big winners also showed at least some increase in the rate of annual earnings growth for three years, in some cases for five years, at the beginning of their winning runs.
Pay attention to full-year earnings estimates, which point to possible up-and-coming growth companies. Of course, not all stocks that meet the A in CAN SLIM will turn into winners. And investors should wait for each stock to form a proper base and break out in strong volume before pushing the "buy" button.

Health care exchange in Washington state has more problems; website offline until this evening

The website wahealthplanfinder.org offers visitors a friendly, bright green welcome page, but the internal workings were plagued by glitches.
Still, some people were able to sign up for health insurance as part of the nation's new health care law, according to officials with the Washington Health Benefit Exchange.
Others encountered slow loading times and trouble completing online applications.
More than 170,000 people visited the site on Tuesday and more than 6,000 accounts have been created. Data on how many people have signed up for insurance won't be available until Friday.
A call to a help line reached a friendly operator telling people the site was experiencing difficulties and to try back in an hour or so.
Richard Onizuka, CEO for the Washington Health Benefit Exchange, thanked people for their patience.
"While we have experienced some expected bumps in the road, the corrections made last night and continued enhancements to the site over time will ensure a smooth application process for those seeking and enrolling in health coverage," he wrote in a statement.
The site will be shut down from 10 p.m. Wednesday until 6 a.m. today for further maintenance, said Michael Marchand, spokesman for the Health Benefit Exchange.
His advice for people having trouble: Save your work so far, log off and come back later.
"It's disappointing because we don't want people's first engagement of our website to be anything short of a great consumer experience," Marchand said. But he notes that people have until Dec. 23 to sign up for insurance that goes into effect on Jan. 1.
Problems closed the website on Tuesday shortly after it launched. The site reopened later in the day, but glitches continued.
Site managers blamed unexpected user activity and interaction with the marketplace for some of the problems.
Onizuka said his technical team did extensive testing before the launch.
"We totally understand the frustration," Marchand said. "We're going to continue to make the site better."
They welcome feedback from the public on the phone and via email at email@example.com.
In addition to the online marketplace, Washington residents can sign up by telephone or in person. Officials say it takes about an hour to go through the process for an individual and a little longer for a family.
Washington residents have six months to buy health insurance through the new exchange during the first enrollment period ending in March.
The state estimates about 1 million Washington state residents do not have health insurance, or about one in seven people.
The state hopes to enroll 130,000 people for health insurance in 2014 and another 280,000 in 2015. Another 325,000 people will be eligible to sign up for free insurance through Medicaid.
Under the Affordable Care Act, people who don't have insurance in 2014 will pay a fine when they file their federal income taxes in early 2015. The fines for people who ignore the new law are scheduled to increase over time.

Please pray for my friend... Alcohol is ruining his physical life and keeping him from recognizing his need for our Lord. He's an alcoholic, who was sober for many years. Then, he relapsed - his wife left him, his teenage children don't want anything to do with him, his mother died and his drinking has grown worse and worse. In the last two weeks, he's been arrested for DUI twice. Yesterday, he entered a secular rehab facility.
I'm praying that as his body is separated from the alcohol and as his mind clears, he would accept His free gift of salvation, and that our precious Lord and Savior - the Great Physician - would heal him, give him strength and change his desires. I pray that he realizes his need for our Savior, and realize that he lacks the necessary strength without Him. In his pride, he refuses to surrender his life to Jesus and I pray that his eyes and his heart would be softened.
I praise God with all that is within me, knowing that He changed my life, that He changed my desires and that He promises His mercy & grace to all that believe in Him. If He saved & cleansed me, He will surely do the same for anyone else who believes on Him - including my friend.

William Hill to consider rights issue
William Hill confirmed yesterday that it would consider a possible equity issue "in due course" after announcing a recommended £485 million offer for Sportingbet.
The bid, made jointly with GVC Holdings, will be funded from existing facilities and a £225 million bridging loan, although talks to buy out Playtech, its partner in William Hill Online, are tipped to require a rights issue of at least £200 million.
Ralph Topping, the chief executive of William Hill, said that the Sportingbet deal did not require a rights issue, but added: "We will take a view on it in due course after discussions with the board and our shareholders. We wouldn't rule anything out."
Under the terms of the Sportingbet deal, sealed after two months of negotiations and…


text: I'm coming close to the expiration of my website membership for Investools. I'd be curious if anyone else uses this investment site and has any feedback to share. The fee is several hundred dollars a year, so I'm going to need to justify this to myself (and the wife) before renewing. I had a lot of luck using their system when the market was generally moving upward, however I never took any of their classes/courses to learn how to trade on the downside. Because of this, I've pretty much been on the sidelines (e.g.. cash, Ginnie Mae fund) with my discretionary investment money since the market went south. Again, I had a lot of luck with the site and system when the market was going well and I also credit the site for getting me out of the market before it tanked. My most basic question is for those that use this tool -- are you still actively trading stocks in this market using the site? If so, is it because you're using strategies they've taught you? If so, how well is it working out? NOTE: pls refrain from including post on the merits of "buying and holding" and "investing for the long-term", etc. I'm well aware of this advice and follow it for my retirement funds. I work in the financial services industry and am Series 7 licensed, so I don't' need helpful suggestions from those that don't believe in actively trading stocks. I get that and have told several of my clients this same thing over the years that want to try and play/time the market with their 401k funds. My questions and feedback I'm seeking here has to do with those funds you make available for investing that you CAN afford to lose (not that you want to). Again….any Investools users (or similar) care to share any thoughts/experiences on the worthiness of continuing with the site?

It seemed like sellers were all selling the same patches, so now I'm wondering if there is a retailer like JoAnn or something that sells Disney embroidered iron on patches. I've seen princess ones at WalMart. I believe I've seen Pooh, too, but no Jiminy. Does anyone know of a major retailer that sells a good assortment of Disney embroidered iron on patches? Thanks.

Is the Dow Jones Industrial Average too high? That's one of those questions that pundits and gurus are always asking, and the answer is a bit tricky.
Too high compared to what?
Do we measure it compared to earnings, assets, dividends or future predicted earnings? Do we consider the index in aggregate or consider the individual companies? Once we answer the question itself we need to decipher what (if anything) the answer tells about potential future market behavior.
According to this week's Barron's, the DJIA trades at 15.54 times earnings and 3.38 times book value. That's not awful, but things change up a bit when we look at the companies themselves rather than the aggregate index. The average company in the index is trading at 18.2 times earnings; the average price-to-book is 4.29 right now, which strikes me as a very high multiple of assets for the type of large companies that are in the index.
The picture becomes a little clearer if we look at earnings results and potential. In the past five years the average company in the index has grown earnings by about 8.5%, and analysts are looking for similar performance over the next five years. That gives us a PEG ratio of more than 2 based on average growth rates … which also strikes me as far from cheap for slow-growth companies such as those in the index.
Also? No stocks in the Dow are trading below book value right now. Only four stocks are trading for less than 2 times book value. Only one stock, Travelers (TRV[1]), sells for less than 10 times earnings. Eleven companies trade for more than 20 times earnings.
Bottom line — I don't see any bargain Dow stocks, nor much of a margin of safety right now.
Next I stepped back and did a calculation of the DJIA using the Graham formula for fair value. This simple formula developed by Ben Graham takes earnings and assets into account to get a fair value for a company — when I apply it to the index, I get a very unhappy result. This conservative valuation measure comes up with a fair value for the index of just 11,136 right now. If I use some of the most aggressive estimates for earnings and book value growth for the next year, I can get that number up to 12,100 … but no higher.
I think we have answer the question of whether the Dow is cheap — but what can we do with this information to make money in the market? The most obvious takeaway: Don't buy the index or ETFs that track it right now. I wouldn't buy any of the components this level, either.
Does this overvaluation of the index and its components mean we should rush to sell our stocks? No, it does not. We have seen by now that overvalued companies can always become more so — especially in a zero-interest-rate world. We should add this to our growing collection of warning lights — including signals like market cap to GDP, and the Value Line Median Appreciation Index — and become a lot more careful and cautious about managing our portfolios. Limit your buying to only true bargain issues, and consider selling some of the more overpriced issues in your portfolio.
At the time of publication, Melvin had no positions in the stocks mentioned.

No problem
The US is already going to have to buy access to its own space station from the Russians. When their troops need to make sure they precisely target the local infants school, they can buy access to GLONASS.
The global positioning system (GPS) operated by the US government could fail as early as next year. According to a report (PDF) by the US Government Accountability Office (GAO), the independent and nonpartisan agency charged with keeping track of government efficiency (or lack thereof), "It is uncertain whether the Air Force …

"It is always handy to be able to do some navigation with something that's definitely going to exist in the near future - Earth's magnetic field, for instance."
Until the next time it drops to zero and comes back with direction reversed.
because he's so tough he stands still and his destination comes to him.
>GPS is used as the timing source for numerous applications including cell towers etc.
>No GPS means no cell phone calls.
>Sure, you could in theory retrofit every single cell site with a v v v accurate clock, but that's not >going to be viable.
Umm , riiight. So care to explain how cellular systems worked before GPS came on the scene then?
From my understanding the Americans run and maintain this system and the whole World uses it for free? Do the people who make the chips that allow the use of GPS pay any contribution towards the running of it, in the ame way a patent tax is applied for using a patent inside a chip/design!
Of course this isn't anything new, take for example the 2012 Olympic that benefit the whole country - people in the London are get the priveledge of paying a extra charge each month towards this yet get no extra level of access to the games above and beyond anybody else in the country. indeed on balance those in the London area end up paying more than the cost of a 1st class flight from anywere in europe and back and then some towards the games, so even geographicly they get handicapped. But they do get extra chances to get tickets, oh wait, no they dont.
Back to GPS. If its a World needed thing then those that use it, ie the World should pay for it. Otherwise its a bit unfair and we all know how small unfair things esculate. But hey we are all used to this and false econemies built up upon layer and layer of broker percentages. So only the middle men actualy make any money and so much that it hurts both directions.
I wouldn't be supprised if the American let it fail in places just to highlight oh yeah you get what you pay for.
There are many ways to cover this, but fairest and easiest to manage is at the level were a levey is placed upon the chips that enable this. Ok it will cost little more, well actualy it dosn;t cost more its just more fairly costed.
You do all realises that if France ran and managed the GPS system and were in this state, they would just dwitch it off for a day or two and get your attention directly instead of the indirect approach, gota respect them for that, no matter what you say about the French. That said can also respect that America aint pushing for cash and crying for it. But anyway you look at it, on balance is it fairly financed!!!
Paris - coz bottom line its a no brainer
Anon - because its the internet and I dont have MP expense insurance }->
Southern Railway uses GPS to open train doors. This is serious. They may have to bring back slam door trains.
I was wondering that myself -- are there really applications where NTP over copper or radio signal from Rugby aren't accurate enough?
Because if there are it is yet more proof that GPS and it's repercussions are enabling technologies and not just something that replaces maps -- and if not then why the hell is anyone bothering to use GPS for timekeeping?
> They may have to bring back slam door trains.
and buffet cars. Wahay!
ntp from rugby no longer exists, they pulled down the last of the big masts 2 years ago, from memory its now transmitted from germany
The commenter saying that one SV is OK for timing if you know where you are in 3D space is correct. However to get the timing exactly right requires algorithms that communicate with multiple SVs. It also needs the ground stations.
GPS timing is way more accurate than anything you can get with rugby or ntp over IP though a dedicated wire with no repeaters etc could probably substitute. Running that out to every tower is just not practical. GPS timing is also very cheap with receivers designed for timing applications costing way less than running 50m of cable.
Precise timing is also used to keep the intertubes flowing
These applications don't just use GPS to keep your wall clock up to date. They use it as a precise timing source for receiving and transmitting and keeping the signal timing between cell towers etc synchronized.
nanosecond stuff.
Rugby doesn't work for these because propagation through the atmosphere is too variable over any reasonable distance.
"For truely accurate time you will need to know your position (and i'm not talking about time zones). To work out the EXACT time where you are you must work out how long it took the signal to reach you. You do that by knowing exactly where you are. Yes this could be stored once when the tower is created, but to do this acuratly enough you would probably need to use a GPS based method to site the mast anyway"
No argument here. this is part of the iterative calculations involved in getting a GPS fix.
However I'm not sure some of those problems apply when the time source is in a fixed location relative to the tower. Doppler shifts and corrections for relativistic effects can be left out. One example would be survey cameras developed in Switzerland which use highly accurate inclinometers to image the sky exactly vertical ( and I think they can work in daylight). From them its a case of using the exact value for the speed of light to calculate a correction at about 3.333ns/m. . This could, in principle, get to 1 m accuracy given a well surveyed (and they should be) site for the time code transmission, coupled with very good pointing.
Once in place only earthquakes should move it enough to make re-calibration necessary.
Forget your military and other applications. There are 2 basic factors behind the invention and development of GPS. Firstly your wife does not have to navigate, so ending the inevitable row that leads to divorce ! Secondly the later generation of navigation units continuously show the estimated time of arrival, which the kids can clearly see from the back of the car, so ending the 'are we nearly there yet ?' question that is the cause of many a family dispute. It can therefore be argued that far from being a tactical military system to aid targetted destruction, GPS is actually a PEACEKEEPING system for the reasons previously given.
Now, I can read an Ordnance Survey map and follow a compass bearing at night over open terrain with the best of 'em. I learnt how to do this thanks to the Scouts, in a time when kids out at 3am using map and compass was still considered OK. Hell yes you got lost, but you also learnt how to work out where you were, the old fashioned way. And you had some fun at the same time !
The old fashioned ways will always be there to fall back on, and we need to maintain these skills. One common factor with old and new methods of navigation is the need for accuate maps, be it for helping you work out where you are, or how to get to where you want.
I like GPS, and hope it's available (or an equivalent system) for many years to come. It is just so useful. My reasons for liking it are many, to list but a few :-
1) end of arguments with wife over navigation. Worth its weight in gold !!!!!!
2) end of 'are we nearly there yet ?' question from the kids. Again worth its weight in gold !!!
3) recording my bike rides. Speed and altitude profiles, so thats why my legs were killing me about 1/3 of the way up that hill ! Good record of training and improvement.
4) recording my dinghy sailing, particularly on the sea. If a sea mist comes in you can't see anything on the shore and the wind can change direction so you can't use that as a reference. I have a tactical compass (for racing) and combine that with local knowledge to continue sailing whilst not having shore landmarks to use for navigation. GPS just peforms the task of backup navigation system for me in these circumstances. It just verifies that my sailing on a given bearing is taking me where I think I'm going. The compass and local knowledge are the primary navigation as these are the natural way anyone sails a dinghy.
5) in-car navigation GPS often takes you down roads you would not normally choose if you were using a map or road atlas. If you end up stuck in a river, it's 'not good :-)', but if you end up seeing some wonderful countryside BONUS !
For reasons 1 and 2 above, I would be quite happy to pay a subscription fee for the use of GPS or a device access fee, and as you see, it gives me other benefits.
Long live GPS, but I *CAN* live without it.
...how much the powers that be have bunged this chap to say this...
I can almost hear the EU reaching for their begging bowls to fund their own (now essential) GPS system...
Forgive me for being so suspicious, but we're talking about politicians here!
does this mean that crackheads won't be stealing GPS from my car anymore?
A few years ago one of our Air Force Hercules left Antarctica to come back home , and their space age electronic navigation systems went u/s.
The crew had to drag out a Sextant (fortunately carried onboard) .Also fortunately could remember how to navigate the old way.
It is a long way from Antarctica to New Zealand and it wouldn't take much of an error to miss the place, and find only great expanse of ocean.
Perhaps all the arse'oles who rely on their GPS and when it tells them to do something they just do it without even a look to see if anything/anyone else is in the way will reaquire some visual skills and stop running others off the road!
I have an old Magellan, it finally gave up about a year ago. Very handy device.
I'm a guy, and I'm not afraid to use a GPS. Don't know what that has to do with anything.
Yes, I know how to read a map. Used to buy a Thomas Guide every year when I was living in S. California in the '80s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Guide I even once helped a GF learn how to read maps.
I've been using Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, and Mapquest for years. They're great, but they're not perfect either.
I'll tell you what, though. For me it's comforting to have the GPS there. A Google printout may not help much if you take a wrong turn. Complex intersections can be difficult to describe properly and easy to misunderstand. Whoops! That's a one-way street, going the wrong way. And I find cities particularly difficult; most have wild combinations of odd intersections, one-way streets, bizarre traffic patterns, and lots of distractions all rolled into one. I remember one particularly annoying trip into Philadelphia to see a headhunter -- after four attempts I never found the address, and then on my way out I made a wrong turn and ended up in New Jersey. Which I didn't have any maps for at the time, not having expected to go there. *sigh*
Having a GPS to help guide me out of mistakes, bad data, unexpected road closings, and so on makes city driving a lot more comfortable for me.
I have yet to drive into anybody's yard, into any lakes, off any cliffs or over the Atlantic to end up in Surrey because I trusted the GPS and didn't pay attention. I also have enough smarts to stop texting at intersections and look around before crossing.
YMMV, but the GPS is just a tool just like any other. Use it intelligently and it will be beneficial. Use it badly and you will have problems.
It would seem that many of you posting on here as super navigators seem to have lost your way in cyberspace. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Register a site for Tecky geeks and gadget fans. If you eschew all gadgetry in favour of sandals, lentils and old fashioned pen and paper, what the hell are you doing reading this... get out in the country and hug some trees.
"Good old GSM, which is found quite extensively worldwide, even the US, will be juuuuuust fine! Truly GSM is the work of geniuses."
Invented by the French (Groupe Special Mobile).
I don't have an iPhone, does this mean that the GPS features will continue to work for me?
I remember one time, must have been nearly twenty years ago now, I was young (< 10), and my family was waiting between a wedding and the reception. To keep me amused, my mother was asking how to get from point A to point B (something I seem to recall her doing not infrequently, for the same reason). Apparently, this really impressed the person at the next table over - to be fair, that was probably more to do with my age at the time rather than the lack of GPS or other navigational aid.
Paris, because she can keep me amused any day.

Ofcom has called for a 'try before you buy' policy to be implemented on mobile phones to help consumers 'get the coverage that they want'.
The regulator's consumer panel made the calls today (6 October) alongside claims that more than half of consumers have experienced problems with reception, with a third saying it was a regular experience.
A lack of accurate coverage information made the problem worse, the panel said.
The survey of more than 1,700 UK adults also found 91% of small businesses have had difficulties with mobile coverage.
Anna Bradley, chairwoman of the panel, said: 'While all the focus is on rolling out new services like mobile broadband, our research reveals that large numbers of consumers and small business employees are still having problems making even basic voice calls.'
'This kind of basic coverage is hugely important to consumers and essential for small businesses to thrive.'
Some networks were against the idea. One network source told Mobile that it would be difficult to implement such a policy because once the handset is returned, it is second hand. This would result in higher costs for the operator, which would ultimately be passed onto the consumer.
The source said: 'The problem is, as soon as you un-box a handset and use it, it becomes a second hand product - its value reduces by half. On average the handsets cost the operators £300, so that's a hit of £150 that the operator has to take. Higher end handsets cost operators between £400 and £500, so that's a £200 to £250 hit they'd have to take on returns.'
The panel conceded that good coverage depends on a variety of factors, including where the phone was being used, the local landscape and the weather -and that accurate information would always be an 'inexact science'.
It found the most common problem for consumers was so-called 'not spots', where the user received no reception at all. A total of 36% of mobile users have experienced this, 18% regularly.
This was followed by poor sound quality and text messages being delivered late, which were both experienced by 20% of users, 8% regularly.
A total of 12% of those who had problems had contacted customer services, but only 2% had changed networks.
Operators do currently offer a 14 day money back on mobile broadband, because it relies on 3G coverage, 'which is not as extensive as 2G yet', according to the operator source.

A nightly church revival that drew complaints from its Brooklyn neighbors was ordered to quiet down by the city, following an NBC New York report.
Tent Crusade 2011 has been leading the gathering every night this month in an empty lot on Clarendon Road in Flatbush. Residents told NBC New York they could hear the preaching for blocks.
Janee Harvey, who lives down the street, described the noise as near-constant yelling from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
On Tuesday night at around 8:30 p.m., NBC New York took a sound measurement across the street that read 97 decibels.
That's higher than peak Midtown traffic but only slightly quieter than the subway.
City noise law has various thresholds for noise levels, depending on the source and time of day -- construction noise may not exceed 85 decibels after 11 p.m., and commercial establishments that play music may not exceed 42 decibels as measured from inside nearby residences.
In general, the decibel limit cannot exceed 10 decibels over the ambient sound level.
The city sent noise inspectors to the church revival and measured a 91-decibel level. Officials then visited the site to meet with church representatives.
"They were extremely cooperative and agreed to reduce the noise levels," Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Farrell Sklerov said.
Sklerov said officials monitored noise levels on Wednesday night and found that the sound did not exceed accepted levels.

The Arcata, California, Kinetic Sculpture Race finishes today, amid reports of high winds and tough going. In this venerable (since 1969) "triathlon of the art world" event all-terrain human-powered art sculptures race over road, water, mud and sand every Memorial Day weekend, with typically "art-car" campiness and hijinks. It's catching: the 13th annual Kinetic Sculpture Race in Baltimore took place on May 7!

I wish we would do kinetic racing here (although anybody that jumps a manually pedaled kinetic sculpture in the Bayou is bound to come out with some fun flesh eating disease). When I worked at the American Visonary Art Museum in Baltimore we had a kinetic sculpture race every year, and the staff at AVA<M participated as a team. I have to say it was some of the most fun I have ever had in my life.

In this Oct. 22, 2011 photo, Republican presidential candidate, businessman Herman Cain speaks in Des Moines, Iowa.
Like many observers of the Republican presidential primary race, I was surprised by Herman Cain's rise in the polls to catch Mitt Romney as the front-runner. But a new survey by Public Religion Research Institute reveals that Cain's success in the primary campaign parallels his success in business. Cain has triumphed, not by overpowering the competition, but by creating a niche based on his competitors' weaknesses.
As an executive at Pillsbury, Cain was tapped to head up the lackluster Godfather's Pizza after his company somewhat incidentally acquired it in a larger deal in 1985. While it's not true that Godfather's pizza was literally on the verge of bankruptcy when Cain took the helm, the company was clearly troubled. When he left in 1996, it hadn't caught up with larger competitors like Pizza Hut or Domino's, but the company was on solid financial footing.
Cain succeeded largely by understanding the weaknesses of two distinct groups of competitors: the large chains as well as local mom and pop outlets. Unable to go toe-to-toe with the larger chains on quantity, Cain focused on quality and launched a simple ad campaign with a two-word tagline: "more topping." To contend with the smaller and more unpredictable neighborhood outlets, Cain also cut down the menu to emphasize its core pizza product, kept prices competitive, and instituted franchise-wide quality controls to ensure consistency across stores. In other words, when it came to business, Cain was not an overpowering juggernaut. Instead, he was a charismatic strategic opportunist who thrived by exploiting his rivals' shortcomings.
This brief history of Cain's business strategy, combined with insights from a new survey from Public Religion Research Institute, clarify Cain's rise in the Republican presidential primary race. Especially in the GOP primary race, where white evangelical Protestants play a prominent role, candidates need to connect with voters on both shared political and religious values. The survey shows that the other frontrunners, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry, each have a weakness among evangelical voters. Cain has benefited from both.
Perhaps in part because of the recent controversy over whether Mitt Romney's Mormon faith is a Christian religion, which I wrote about a few weeks ago, white evangelical Protestant voters are far more likely to identify with Romney's political views than his religious beliefs. About 1 in 5 evangelical voters say that of the Republican presidential candidates, Romney's political views are most closely aligned with their own, while only 8 percent say the same of his religious beliefs. On the other hand, as I warned back in September, Rick Perry may have erred too far on the side of sectarian religious rhetoric without establishing himself as a political heavyweight. While 22 percent of evangelical voters say that Perry's religious beliefs are closest to their own, only 12 percent say they most identify with his political views.
At least for white evangelical Protestant voters, Cain seems to have settled into a void that neither Romney nor Perry can fill. He surpasses both Romney and Perry on political affinity, with 26 percent of evangelical voters reporting that Cain is the Republican presidential candidate whose political views are closest to their own, while rivaling Perry in his ability to connect with voters on religion. Twenty percent of white evangelical voters say that Cain's religious beliefs resonate most with their own.
Cain's first real test will come in early January, when the Iowa caucus rolls around. A new CNN/TIME/ORC poll released on October 26 showed Romney with a slight lead over Cain (24 percent and 21 percent, respectively), and Perry tied with Newt Gingrich at a distant 10 percent. Since success in Iowa rides on the candidates' ability to appeal to the state's white evangelical Republican base, Cain's ability to combine both religious and political appeal could solidify his advantage over Rick Perry, and even edge out Romney, who has been focusing on other early states like New Hampshire .
We can see plainly from these numbers that none of the candidates have an outright, across the board advantage. But Cain's ability to appeal to white evangelical Protestants on religious and political values places him in a distinctive position among the other candidates vying for the support of this crucial Republican demographic. It explains his emergence as Romney's co-front-runner. What remains to be seen is whether Cain can move beyond his role as canny opportunist to develop a campaign that is established more on his own strengths than his opponents' weaknesses.

Birchmont champ Amy Anderson wins U.S. Junior Girls title
BEDMINSTER, N.J. (AP) -- Amy Anderson of Oxbow, N.D., won the Ladies Championship at the 2008 Birchmont golf tournament in Bemidji. Now she is a national champion as well.
Anderson defeated Kimberly Kim of Hilo, Hawaii, 6 and 5 Saturday to claim the U.S. Junior Girls championship at Trump National Golf Club.
Anderson held the upper hand for most of the morning 18 holes, gaining a 4-up lead on two occasions. She lost 18 with a bogey, but came back to win the first hole in the afternoon round. She went on to win Nos. 3, 4, 8 and 10 to take a 7-up lead before closing it out on the 13th hole.
Anderson was last year's Birchmont Ladies Champion at Bemidji Town & Country Club. She is not entered into the field for next week's Birchmont. Her brother Nathan, who was the 2008 Birchmont Men's Champ, is serving as caddy.

"Strongly Sexual" Monpiece Cards Banned
- Categories: Games, News
- Date: Jan 22, 2014 09:01 JST
- Tags: Announcements, Censorship, Compile Heart, Monster Girls, PSP, Social Games, Translation
Monster musume fans look to be overjoyed and enraged in equal measure with the news that Compile Heart's PSV card 'em up Monster Monpiece is being released internationally – but that due to their "strong sexual nature" a large number of monster girls have been dumped to protect the fragile minds of western gamers from corruption.
The game is just too sexy for the barbarian masses, localisers Idea Factory say in an apologetic missive (although they do at least provide detailed disclosure):
Idea Factory International, Inc. would like to inform fans and prospective users of Monster Monpiece that we have made the decision to remove several Monster Girl images from the North American and European versions of Monster Monpiece.
The gameplay, game system, and storyline are fully intact and Idea Factory International strives to localize and publish Idea Factory titles with the same content as their Japanese releases.
Here is the list of Monster Girls whose images have been limited to that of their level 1, 2, or 3 evolution form due to the strong sexual nature of the card images: Vampire, Kraken, Goblin, Cockatrice, Kobold, Skeleton, Titania, Bahamut, Fia, Brownie, Pegasus, Mandragora, Mau Sibau, Rafflesia, Death Scorpion, Phantom, and Tengu.
We fully understand that there are needs and demands for the complete version of these games.
Our intention and motivation is to offer Idea Factory titles in a form that is as close as possible to the Japanese versions.
This was a tough decision, but we would greatly appreciate your understanding and support.
Much in the way of understanding or support seems unlikely, but those willing to overlook this can get the title in download form sometime in the spring.
Some examples of the sort of thing western Monpiece fans may be missing out on:

Interview: Atomic was at the unveiling of Battlefield 3 in San Francisco, and yes, we're excited. Get the scoop on the PC focus of the game right here.
We were lucky enough to be invited along to the Battlefield 3 unveiling in San Francisco last week and had some one-on-one time with Patrick Söderlund, CEO of EA Digital Illusions CE (or 'DICE' for short). The schedule was all over the place and we were told to stick to a strict 10-minute interview structure. To make matters more interesting, we'd written down a whole bunch of multiplayer-related questions that DICE didn't want to answer. We still managed to get some interesting nuggets of information out of him. Check it out below.
Atomic: So are we allowed to talk single and multi?
Patrick: Well, mostly single.
Atomic: Okay.
Patrick: But we can talk a bit about multi, but we're not talking specifically about it.
Atomic: Right. So what little bit about multi can you tell me about?
Atomic: Well, I can tell you that we're looking at PC as our main platform for the game. We're gonna support 64 players, dedicated servers... that's basically it.
Atomic: That's basically it?
Patrick: Yup.
Atomic: Anything else you can talk about in terms of-
Patrick: -A lot of people ask us about 64 versus 128 or 256 players. Technically, we can go to 256, we've tried it. We play tested with 128. You've got to make a game that's fun to play. And, arguably, we think that the most fun you can have is when it's between 32 and 40 players. And we've done substantial research into this and tested 128 and that it's not fun. Maybe we haven't done our design work good enough, but we just feel like there's no point in going higher than 64.
Atomic: So are you planning any sort of dedicated server model for consoles?
Patrick: I can't talk about that but we're absolutely looking at it, yeah.
Atomic: Cool. I think that's all of the multiplayer stuff out of the way. There was a teaser trailer released not so long ago that had some great little things that geeks like me have been studying. There was some bolt cutters on the back of a character; is that something that's coming into the gameplay?
Patrick: *Smiles* You'll see, you'll see.

PLANS to demolish empty homes, garages and a meeting hall and replace them with 18 affordable houses have been approved.
Durham County Council' s planning committee gave the go ahead to the scheme in Chilton when they met on Thursday afternoon (June 19).
In a report to councillors, planning officer Paul Hopper said all but five of the houses which used to occupy the 0.4ha site on Hunter Terrace have already been demolished.
Loading article content
Now social housing provider Livin want to remove the last five as well as garages and an old meeting hall.
The company plans to build 18 new homes which would be classed as affordable.
Mr Hopper said 12 of the homes would have two bedrooms with six houses having three bedrooms, while there would also be parking spaces for 27 resident's cars and nine bays for visitors.
The planning officer recommended the plans be approved by the committee describing the scheme as "acceptable".
He said: "The redevelopment of the site would provide much needed affordable housing in a locality where a need has been identified."
Councillors were unanimous in their support for the development.

Merecedes 300SD - Frybrid
I converted this 1981 Merecedes 300SD to run on straight waste vegetable oil. You have to start the car on diesel fuel, then once the engine is hot, you switch to the secondary fuel tank in the trunk which holds pure waste vegetable oil (WVO). This is the stuff that restaurants cook their food in and then throw away.
So far I have gone about 7000 miles in this car.
This car gets approx 25 mpg on diesel fuel
about 20 mpg on WVO
and I avg about 131 mpg of diesel fuel when I combine it with WVO.
To see more photos of this car as well as my first conversion click here.
Owning a grease car is definately a lifestyle, their is some work involved. If you are considering owning a grease car, here are some things to think about. before you get into it.
