Iridium Runners Ships
February 19, 2008
Unique Futuristic Racing Game Makes Its North American Debut
SouthPeak Games announced today that Iridium Runners has shipped for the Playstation 2 computer entertainment system. The high intensity on-foot racing title developed by Playstos Entertainment is rated "E" for Everyone and is available now.
Iridium Runners takes video game racing to a whole new level. Set in the future where cars have been made obsolete by the blazing speed humanity has achieved on foot, Iridium Runners is a no holds barred, furiously fast racing game that allows players to step on shrunken opponents and knock others over the edge of the track and into oblivion. With 20 characters and 8 sidekick pods, each with differing strengths and weaknesses, knowing the track, your opponents and which combination to pick is essential to winning, Iridium Runners features several game modes, from a deep Championship to a single race, as well as split-screen multiplayer. A team mode is also featured, allowing for two paired teammates to race and battle one another on all the tracks.
"Iridium Runners is the perfect racing game for gamers looking for something different," said Luca Da Rios, CEO and executive producer, Playstos Entertainment. "Behind its cartoon style and futuristic setting hides a deep and challenging racing title that can be both fun to pick up and play, as well as demanding enough to play for hours on end."


text: Hello TBers. I have an opportunity to trade one of my gk neo 115 3 for a gk neo 212. Unfortunately I will be unable to try the neo 212. Has anyone A/B these two cabs, are they similar in sound or different? Ultimately I would like to have a second cab with a different tone,(don't plan on using both cabs together). Any opinions on the tonal differences if any between these two cabs?

I'm evolving this patch in
SOLR-8453. Quote from that issue:
I think we overdo method.abort and I think it messes up connection reuse. On a clean server->client exception, we should simply make sure the response entity content is fully consumed and closed like a normal request.
Okay, I dug into this a bit. Actually, we should not call abort at all. Right now, since we call it after close, it's harmless though.
Also, ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient very oddly seem to always not read that last 40 or 44 bytes of the server response even on successful requests. That's odd, but should not mess with connection reuse. We only have to ensure we close the content stream, not read it all.
I don't follow the reasoning here. AFAICT method.abort should be called whenever there's any chance that the response has not been fully read, which would be the case if an exception was thrown.
whenever there's any chance that the response has not been fully read
No documentation I can find says that.
If you make a little test, you will see that method.abort prevents connection reuse. When Solr throws expected errors for updates, we don't want to poison the connection, we want it to go back to the pool. If we actually had to read the full stream, it would be better to just do that. But again, testing and any documentation I can find shows that we just have to close the stream - we don't have to read it all. And connections are released happily back to the pool for reuse.
There is no need for abort here. Nor was it even having an affect when it was called after the content stream close (which it always was).
Hmm, under some circumstances this is definitely not the right thing to do. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1565349/cancel-abort-a-connection-from-the-threadsafeclientconnmanager-connection-pool
It's the right thing to do. I have read the doc, the code, and mailing list info. I have done tests.
After you are done using a connection you need to do either two things: abort it or close the content stream. If you abort it, you won't reuse the connection. There is no need to read through the whole inputstream. There is no need to use abort in normal safe code unless you need that as a feature to interrupt a request. All the proper example code shows the pattern to use is to just close the content input stream.
In the end, it's really simple to test by hand and see what causes connection reuse and what breaks it.
It was a mistake to add the abort call, but luckily it never had an effect - closing the content stream ended the request first anyway.
I have a connection reuse test that hits HttpSolrClient, CloudSolrClient, and ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient. Once I polish it up a little, I'll commit it with this issue.
Patch with connection reuse test attached. This new test won't work until we address the troublesome Jetty upgrade.

SOLR-8451: We should not call method.abort in HttpSolrClient or HttpSolrCall#remoteQuery and HttpSolrCall#remoteQuery should not close streams.
Commit 1724516 from Mark Miller in branch 'dev/branches/branch_5x'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1724516 ]
SOLR-8451: We should not call method.abort in HttpSolrClient or HttpSolrCall#remoteQuery and HttpSolrCall#remoteQuery should not close streams.
Okay, I'd like to come back to this and actually add an attempt to make sure we have always consumed the full response inputstream before closing it.
I have read, and testing shows, HttpClient appears to clean up these situations for us. We have fine connection reuse, even under error conditions. However, given Jetty was doing this for us on the server side basically, and then all of a sudden it was only half hearted attempting it (which broke us), I think it's better to put it into our client code explicitly.
Just would make me sleep better, especially considering issues like SOLR-8578 ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer with BinaryResponseParser leaves 40-42 bytes unconsumed from the request response even without errors.
HttpClient appears to clean up these situations for us.
I have not been able to find it in the code. Perhaps it's java itself actually:
Prior to JDK 6, if an application closes a HTTP InputStream when more than a small amount of data remains to be read, then the connection had to be closed, rather than being cached. Now in JDK 6, the behavior is to read up to 512 Kbytes off the connection in a background thread, thus allowing the connection to be reused. The exact amount of data which may be read is configurable through the http.KeepAlive.remainingData system property.
All the more reason to do it right our self if so.
It may be the case that simply closing the inputstream is all we need to do:
if the response body is long and you are not interested in the rest of it after seeing the beginning, you can close the InputStream.
But, that may usually work, but not always:
But you need to be aware that more data could be on its way. Thus the connection may not be cleared for reuse.
So I see great connection reuse in tests, but this is all hairy stuff. We need to consume these streams just to be sure we are hitting every case.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Capital One Corp. said Wednesday it expects to eliminate about 2,000 jobs, or almost 7 percent of employees, throughout the company as part of a cost-cutting program designed to save $700 million by 2009.
The McLean, Va.-based credit card and banking company expects to incur $300 million of pre-tax charges for the restructuring, including $90 million this quarter and $200 million in 2007.
These charges are expected to reduce after-tax profit by 15 cents per share this quarter, and 33 cents per share in 2007.
Approximately half of the planned job eliminations have already occurred and the affected employees have been notified, the company said. Other cuts will come through attrition and the elimination of selected positions that are currently vacant.
Capital One currently has about 30,000 employees.
The company said it expects the change to help it achieve about $400 million of pre-tax savings in 2008, and another $300 million in 2009.
"Improved operating efficiency will help us drive sustained earnings growth, especially as we navigate the current interest rate cycle and normalizing consumer credit trends," said Richard D. Fairbank, chairman and chief executive, in a statement.

Bought a bike for my son a week ago and was told the bike would be ready for the next weekend and they would call before. I called on Friday the week after to see how it was going to be told not only that I shouldn't call as they would, but then that the bike was not ready but that it was out of stock and there would be no bike at all. A refund will be given but can't be done over the phone on Fridays (at 17.15). So there is us waiting happily until ever after, good thing I called. Let's see for the refund on Monday ... well below expectations!

text: My understandning is that there are different grades of TY discs so that could be one possible issue. Also burning at 4x for single layer discs is recommended. If its only an issue with a single iso then it could be bad burn also if this is the first time using your DVD burner for Wii games then it could also be an issue with the burner. If you have access to Verbatim, Sony, TDK or Philips DVD-R discs then its worth trying those.

yea, you gotta prog
Album Rating: 3.5I love that sequence; Docks/Beached
breathless might be better than this idk
Album Rating: 3.5I havent heard Breathless for age, but I doubt it'd be better than Nude. It has Echoes, the Sleeper and Rainbow's End at least.
Echoes is amazing, so is The Sleeper. and all of the songs are pretty decent, except down on the farm and you make me smile, which are awful...
Album Rating: 3.5I'd have to relisten to Nude before giving a final verdict.
keep me updated
Album Rating: 3.5Captured is so good. Drum production is so 80's
Album Rating: 3.0This has some very good cuts. Agreed hard with Jethro on Docks/Beached. I'm also quite fond of Changing Places, even though it's not very rocking, it's really relaxing, great atmosphere too.
Album Rating: 4.0Captured is definitely my favourite on here.
Album Rating: 3.0Sounds flat to me. A few inspired moments.Like Drafetd,Docks and Lies (highlight for me). Captured reminded me so much of Vangelis. Check out this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6iz1hUucGo
I don't say it's a copy paste, just that at parts they sound alike.
Album Rating: 4.0This is so overlooked
Album Rating: 3.5this could be such a superb album if they had dropped some of the more ambien-orientated tracks and filled it with killer stuff such as city life or lies
Album Rating: 3.0^i think otherwise. The tracks with vocals are my least favourite on this one. City Life and Please Come Home are kinda queef tbh
Album Rating: 3.5City Life and Please Come Home are kinda queef tbh[2]
Especially City Life. What a disastrous opener. It doesn't fit at all in the album.
I hate The Homecoming too. Another track that seems lost in the album. It's an unnecessary wink to Nimrodel from Mirage.
Album Rating: 3.0I totally agree Jethro.
Also Lies isn't bad but it really sounds like Animals-The Wall era Floyd.
Album Rating: 3.5you guys are off track, the lengthier vocal songs are the best
though i think that the last track is the best because it's so gorgeous
Album Rating: 3.5City Life - 2.5/5
Nude -
Drafted - 5/5
Docks - 5/5
Beached - 5/5
Landscapes - 3.5/5
Changing Places - 4/5
Pomp & Circumstance - 3.5/5
Please Come Home - 2/5
Reflections - 3/5
Captured - 4/5
The Homecoming - 2/5
Lies - 4/5
The Last Farewell - The Birthday Cake/Nude's Return 4.5/5
I agree with you about Lies, RunOfTheMill, but I manage to forget that similarity since it doesn't last for too long. Latimer quickly returns to his own style.
Also I had City Life at a 2/5, but I find there are good segments into it. It's still too poppy for my taste and for the album, and its absence of a riding cymbal or a hi-hat doesn't help.
Album Rating: 3.5I think the problem on this album is the slow and excessive middle and first segments of the second lp side
Even if city life is cheese, it's still catchy as hell ;)
Album Rating: 3.5Agreed. Ambient-oriented tracks are all stuck together. And there are too many of them, it breaks the flow of the album.
As for City Life, I still think it doesn't have its place in the album. Without that ''synthetic'' drum sounding, it would be better. With no drum at all it would have been still more appropriated.

So said John Giles, managing attorney at Michalsons, speaking at the ITWeb Governance, Risk and Compliance Summit in Johannesburg today.
The Bill is a new draft law that was published for comment on 28 August 2015.
Although the Bill's aim is to stop cyber crime and improve the security of SA's Internet users, in its current form it gives the government too much power, said Giles.
He said the Bill was needed to protect the country against cyber criminal activities from other nation states, as well as hackers, but in its current state would cause more harm.
The Bill has negative implications for free speech, freedom of the media, IT professionals and any companies whose IT infrastructure the national security agency declares 'critical'.
The penalties of committing an offence range from one year to 25 years' imprisonment or a fine of R1 million to R25 million, he added.
Giles said at the moment, SA has too many laws that are too complex and are difficult to comply with.
The Bill is an example of this – it creates disconnect between the constitutional framework and the reality on the ground, he continued.
He argued the law needed to be dramatically simplified. "The language of the Bill is too legalistic, too long (128 pages) and complicated. As a result, no one knows what the Bill is about."
It also overlaps with many existing laws, noted Giles. "There is a balancing act between the Protection of Personal Information Act and the cyber security Bill – the two laws need to be balanced."
Also, the country has no budget and skills to implement the Bill, said Giles. Many countries around the world have cyber crime legislation and it will be advisable for SA to look to the European Union for an example of how to write one, he concluded.

Hello all, I have just ordered a copy of Seed to Seed by Suzanne Ashworth. I'm really looking forward to receiving it, but I need to know something.
Some of the information is broken up into U.S. Regions:
Mid-Atlantic, Southeast/Gulf Coast, Upper Midwest, Southwest, Central West Coast, Maritime Northwest
I am in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I don't know much about U.S. climates and geography.
I can tell you that Brisbane is sub-tropical, humid, frost happens sometimes but infrequently... definitely not every year.
The warmest average max/ high temperature is 29 °C (84 °F) in January, February & December, but we do have some days where it is much hotter - maybe 34 °C (93.2 °F).
The coolest average min/ low temperature is 9 °C (48 °F) in July but the temps can get down to around 4 °C (39 °F).
We are on the coast as well.
Would someone mind telling me which U.S. region would be most similar to my area, if possible? I hope I've given you enough information to go on!
I did do a google search, but couldn't find anything useful.
Many thanks in advance!
Edit: I just found this forum thread which might be useful, I'm reading it now: http://www.city-data.com/forum/austra...
This information indicates not as warm as Miami, maybe similar to Florida? Trying to look it up on Google maps but it's not loading.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Belinda A.
Review for Rest Ministries, San Diego, CA, USA
I am always looking for resources for individuals who face physical and emotional challenges in life. I have a sister in Christ who was a tremendous support to me and my family during the illness of my only brother until his death. Even as she herself has a painful chronic health condition she has always been willing to reach out and share her love with others. Although my health issues are far less challenging than many, I want to be a light in the lives of others. I have found this website helpful because of the stories that are shared which I can selectively pass on to others in certain situations. Great Job!!!

Wow! I'll buy one as soon as I can! A perfect gift for my husband! :D
Vince Camuto – Fragrance For Him
While I like my husband's natural scent, I love when he wears cologne, since every man's scent is unique and will uniquely mix with whatever cologne he's wearing. Whenever my husband wears a cologne that smells really good, he smells even better, which results in me wanting to be all cat-like and rub myself all over him.
Vince Camuto's new cologne, Fragrance For Him is definitely one of those amazing smelling colognes, one my husband enjoys wearing because he likes how it smells, and one I enjoy smelling on him. Vince Camuto is a self-made man, as well as the founder & CEO of Camuto Group. His focus is on designing women's wear: apparel, optic products, handbags and other accessories, and most recently, fragrances for men and women. Fragrance For Him is described as "bold, sexy; a strong, masculine scent that evokes an air of mystery". Its self-described fresh and dynamic scent is comprised of many unique scents, including amber wood (a must-have in any cologne!), black pepper, Italian Bergamot, lavender, leather, musk, nutmeg, orris, patchouli, sandalwood (another must-have!), and vetiver.
Fragrance For Him is the perfect everyday & nighttime cologne. Whether you're going out to run errands, or having lunch with your significant other, are headed to work, or just headed out for a day or a night on the town, this is one cologne that is multi-purpose and is always appropriate — as well as amazing smelling.
Purchase Vince Camuto's Fragrance For Him in 1.7 or 3.4 ounce bottles, or in deodorant form.
Follow Vince Camuto on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
Disclosure: Vince Camuto provided me with a free product in exchange for my honest opinion.

Actel FPGAs form heart of railway communications products
Post a comment
Actel's flash-based ProASIC Plus field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been selected for use within FAR Systems' Multifunctional Vehicle Bus (MVB) and Wire Train Bus (WTB) onboard railway communication products.
FAR Systems, the European market leader in railway onboard communication systems and supplier of Train Communication Network (TCN) products for use in critical transportation applications, has used the ProASIC Plus APA450 as the basis of its MVBCF chip, the industry's most highly integrated MVB controller solution.
According to Giulio Corradi, chief of research at FAR Systems, "Actel's ProASIC Plus FPGA provides all the features needed to satisfy the demanding requirements of railway communication systems that must comply with safety integrity levels. Satisfying key attributes of our systems – reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety – Actel's devices are live at power-up, inherently immune to firm errors and offer the security of design. Actel's flash-based ProASIC Plus technology plays a critical role in our success by allowing us to eliminate the external boot PROM, increase mean time before failure (MTBF) and reduce overall device count."
FAR Systems' MVBCF device provides all of the functions required to manage MVB data traffic and bus administration, including built-in self-test, watchdog, and interrupt control tasks. It provides MVB-based communications, typically on a PC104 board, for applications such as on-board air-conditioning, passenger information systems, driver desk and display, and diagnostic controllers.
Using the flash-based ProASIC Plus technology allows FAR Systems to achieve previously unattainable levels of integration. In particular, the MVBCF chip implements the MVB bus administrator in hardware. Previous devices relied on software implementations, which created jitter problems and imposed a severe burden on the host CPU. Actel's technology also reduces the power supply requirements. Unlike SRAM FPGA parts, flash-based devices do not demand large in-rush currents on power-up. This means that a single power supply is sufficient for the whole system, reducing cost and weight. Further, the supply does not need large reservoir capacitors, which can decrease reliability.
The ProASIC Plus family consists of devices ranging from 75,000 to 1 million system gates. The combination of a fine-grained, single-chip ASIC-like architecture and nonvolatile flash configuration memory makes Actel's ProASIC Plus offering a strong ASIC alternative. The devices are live at power-up, low power, highly secure, resistant to neutron-induced firm errors, and require no separate configuration memory, all characteristics shared by ASICs.
In addition to commercial and industrial versions, Actel's ProASIC Plus FPGAs are offered in military and Mil-Std 883B versions. The ProASIC Plus architecture and design methodology support popular FPGA and ASIC tool flows, reducing time to market and permitting designers to migrate easily between FPGA and ASIC solutions.
For more information on Actel and ProASIC Plus FPGAs, visit Actel's website at www.actel.com. For more information on FAR Systems, headquartered in Rovereto Italy, T.T division in Verona Italy, visit its Web site at www.farsystems.it.

Damn! Wonder woman just cracks his muthafuckin' haid open, then flies off laughing in her invisible jet. That, my friends, is hardcore.
Don't Worry, though, pals! Kanigher had a whole carton of evil eggs at his disposal, and before you know it, another smaller and more mobile Egg Fu (the Fifth!) was on the loose in Wonder Woman # 166:
Egg Fu has returned to the DC Universe in recent years in the pages of 52 and Checkmate. He's all sadistic and scary now, and sadly, seems to have ditched the prehensile mustache:
As for the future, I'm not sure when another Egg-Fu will appear, but rest assured readers, that if one does, albumen-tioning it here, at Again With the Comics!

it was embarrassing listening to this
my local music scene is despicable (cept We Were Skeletons they're ok)
now he's reviewing metalcore
it's only metal for me, now
PS I better not hear any complaints about me not mentioning specific songs because truthfully this just didn't deserve it
Have an impressive a pair of EPs
fixed already but thanks : )
Sea review a Bathory album and I'll make 30 alt accounts to pos the review
Halfway through I had to stop and pos' review, it seems to embody the group perfectly.
I was planning on reviewing Jubileum Volume III anyway!
Ugh, I have to listen to this band now?
you'd like them, win. they're right up your alley
Did you read my last review? I listened to a song or two, and it's catchy enough to fit into my general tastes, and the vocals are pretty alright, but the riffing is boring and they have the same cadence through pretty much the entire song I listened to.
Elitist/Volumes > this so hard.
but seriously guys.
how bad is that cover, I mean really?
Oh look, B-Sides of the new ABR album.
I have no doubts that Texas In July are the going to become

I was really hoping this band would impress with their second LP. I enjoyed their EP, and found that
their LP came short in the creativity section. I'm pretty distressed to hear that this one is even

->immediately consider reccing this album to kimm
ah thank you, should have proof read this more.
and lol yes knott. seems I've really describe the demographic here correctly...
"Sea review a Bathory album and I'll make 30 alt accounts to pos the review"
Nice review Sea!
Digging: Summoning - With Doom We Come
Hook Line And Sinner is ace from their previous album; was sad to hear no similar song on this.
Digging: Beastmilk - Climax
Honestly Sea, the review itself was fantastic, but I remember you saying for the most part that you don't even listen to metalcore, so its kind of hard in my opinion to say its 'taking generic metalcore to new heights'.

Apple's iPad 2 -- Upping the ante
Steve Jobs announced the iPad 2 on March 2. No one expected Jobs to do it himself as he's been on a medical leave of absence for a while now. He looked none the worse for wear, though I can't imagine that things are very good for him.
The iPad 2, of course, was expected, though it's hard to argue that it was already necessary. Apple sold about 15 million iPads in 2010 (in nine months, really, as the iPad didn't start selling until April), and demand keeps growing. Apple also wasn't pressured by the competition, which largely remains on the drawing board or early stages of deployment.
Anyway, the new iPad looks almost exactly the same as the original, but it is considerably thinner (0.35 vs 0.5 inches) and weighs less (1.3 lbs. vs 1.5 lbs.). Though I never felt that way, there's been criticism about the iPad's weight, and so the small but noticeable reduction addresses those concerns.
The iPad2 will be powered by a 1GHz dual core Apple A5 processor that, according to Jobs, is twice as fast and offers 9x graphics performance. No one is entirely sure about the specifics of Apple's processors (the Apple A4 chip that powered the original iPad is based on the ubiquitous ARM Cortex-A8 core, special PowerVR-technology graphics, plus Apple's special sauce, and it's manufactured by Samsung). The new A5 chip has dual cores, is still running at the same 1GHz clock speed, and presumably has much more powerful graphics processors. I never felt the original iPad was lacking in speed (whatever hangups there were always seemed AT&T related), but experience with the iPhone has shown that news apps designed for newer technology will quickly make older hardware feel slow.
One area where the iPad has been taking heavy criticism is its lack of a camera. Virtually all smartphones have cameras now (heck, it's gotten to a point where world history is being captured on smartphones), and many of the emerging iPad competitors have a camera or even two (one to take pictures, the other for video conferencing).
Well, there are now two cameras. Apple didn't specify megapixel, but stated that the one in front records video and stills at VGA resolution, and the one in the rear at up to 720p. VGA, of course, is 640 x 480 pixel, or 0.3 megapixel. 720p is what one might call "HD light." It's the definition used by some of the less expensive, smaller screen HDTVs and nominally refers to 1280 x 720 pixel resolution (though it's also used for the 1366 x 768 res often seen in such TVs). So that's around one megapixel. The competition will almost certainly diss Apple for the relatively low resolution of the iPad 2 cameras (there are tablets with 3 and 5-megapixel cameras), but Apple's decision makes total sense to me: for video conferencing there's simply no need to capture and process more pixels than you need. And for shooting 720p video, it's not necessary either. Apple correctly decided to go for best speed and usability as opposed to shoehorning a full digital camera into the iPad 2.
Expect the iPad 2 to be much more aware of its position and movement. That's because it includes a gyroscope. Gyroscopes are much better and more comprehensive at sensing movement than simple accelerometers. That means we'll soon see a new generation of 3D games and other software that'll take advantage of it.
More speed and power often comes at the cost of either a bigger, heavier battery or, if that is not possible, less battery life. Apple claims the same battery life for the iPad 2 (around ten hours) as for the original. And that even though the new device is both thinner and lighter, and even though the capacity of the 3.8V battery remains at 25 watt-hours. Well, no one believed it when Apple claimed ten hours of battery life for the original, and yet it was true. So I believe Apple's projections.
The new iPad still has neither a card slot nor a standard USB port. Apple (or Jobs, really) has always been very dogmatic about ports and interfacing, and for the most part, that has never bothered me. I do appreciate that they finally added an SD Card slot in recent iMacs, but I never much missed a slot in the iPad (I do have all the appropriate adapters, though). One new thing is that the iPad 2 supports HDMI-out via cable, which means you'll be able to see what's on the iPad screen on a HDTV, and unlike the original VGA adapter, this one is said to work with all apps.
While the original iPad came in different memory configuration and either with or without 3G, the iPad 2 offers many more permutations by adding your choice of colors (black or white) and network technology (AT&T or Verizon) to the mix. Color really doesn't matter to me (my iPad spent most of its life in Apple's terrific "elephant leather" case anyway), but the choice of networks opens things up considerably. Apple did not say what data plans would be available and how much they'd cost, probably because they know as well as anyone that having to deal with telcos is the low and sore point of the tablet experience.
On the software side, Apple announced and demoed iMovie and GarageBand for the iPad. I am not a musician and so have no appreciation for the apparently amazing capabilities of Garage Band, but iMove certainly looks interesting. And for US$4.99 each, a total steal, millions will get both apps.
Of note: the display apparently did not change. It's a different model from LG Phillips, but still measures 9.7 inches diagonally and has 1024 x 768 pixels. So no new "retina" style display with stupendously high resolution. That'll likely come in the next iteration of the iPad. No big deal. I never felt the original iPad's display resolution was lacking. A much more pressing problem, though, remains unaddressed: gloss and reflection. Though the original iPad was relatively immune to fingerprint smudges, enough of the unsightly grease went through to be an embarrassing nuisance. The iPad 2 specs state "fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating," but whether it's an improvement over the original or not is unclear; Jobs didn't address that. The gloss and reflection, likewise, probably remain. That is a bit of a downer as no one I know enjoys a glossy, reflective screen (one of tech's most dubious developments over the past few years).
Pricing remains exactly the same as for the original iPad: US$499 (16GB), US$599 (32GB), US$699 (64GB) for the WiFi-ony versions, and US$130 more for 3G versions. That's probably as expected, and it is certain to give iPad competitors even more intestinal gas than they already have: while for years it was easy to dismiss Apple products based on their price premium, that's simply not the case with the iPad. In fact, as if coming close to offering a competitive tablet product weren't difficult enough, meeting or beating Apples pricing and still make a profit seems near impossible.
One thing I'll be certain to miss on the iPad 2 (yes, I'll get one as soon as I can) is the old black "elephant skin" case. Jobs made the very reasonable point that they didn't design this beautifully slender new tablet just to then hide it in a thick cover, and introduced what Apple calls the "Smart Cover" for the new iPad. Unlike the old cases, the Smart Cover uses a hinge and only covers the front of the iPad 2. It's cleverly designed to be used as a stand. And it has magnets that automatically turn the iPad 2 on and off. The new covers (which are sold separately) come in either polyurethane in five bright colors ("Hey bad guys! I carry a super-cool $800 gadget!") or leather in five somewhat more subdued colors. Me, I'll probably opt for something that covers and protects my iPad 2 both front and back.
The new iPad 2 will be available March 11, 2011, in the US, and March 25 in much of the rest of the world. I'd have ordered mine instantly, but apparently you can't even place a order before March 11 though Apple surely could have bagged a huge number of pre-orders. Such is Apple's clout and confidence in the iPad 2. And things just got that much harder for anyone else. I mean, how can you compete with the iPad 2's hardware and price? All that appears left is a better spec here and there, and, more importantly, competing software platforms' own merits.
[See iPad 2 specs and see how the iPad 2 compares to the competition.]

The two young women are ready for the big moment. With their backs turned toward the rails, they're holding their cell phones in position and standing arm in arm on the platform at the Üsküdar train station. As the İstanbul Banliyö Trenleri, a commuter train with red and blue stripes, pulls into the station, they snap a picture. A few minutes later it will appear on Facebook with the caption "First time MarmaRay Cool!!!!"
Harun Oruç is also holding his smartphone, but he's not paying attention to the incoming train. He's reading his e-mails. When the doors of the silver train glide open, he looks up and steps into the fully occupied car. Oruç, a 32-year-old patent lawyer, commutes almost daily from Asia to Europe and back again. His office is located on the eastern side of the strait, and some of his clients are on the western side. "It used to take me at least an hour to get from one side to the other," he says. "There were only two ways to cross the Bosporus: the ferry or the bridges. You get stuck in traffic even on the way to the ferry, and the three bridges are permanently congested." Oruç, who would often arrive for his appointments stressed out and with his suit wrinkled, says, "I used to really feel that I was traveling from one continent to another. Today I step into the train in Asia and—zip!—five minutes later I'm in Europe. Fantastic!"
Earthquake-Proof Tunnel. About 15 million people live in Istanbul, a 2,600-year-old metropolis that straddles the Orient and the Occident. About a third of them travel across the Bosporus every day for work or other reasons. Since October 29, 2013, they have had an alternative: the Marmaray Tunnel, which was opened just in time for the 90th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey. The government terms it "the tunnel of the century," and newspapers call it "the new Silk Road of the 21st century" or even "China's nonstop connection with Western European markets." The name of this commuter route, which will be the heart of a future network of long-distance and freight routes, combines the words "Marmara" and "ray," the Turkish word for "rails."
Already some 160 years ago, sultans were dreaming of a tunnel under the Sea of Marmara. But engineering could not cope with the special challenges of the Bosporus until the early 21st century. Not only is the strait characterized by powerful currents that run in opposite directions deep under the water's surface, but the seafloor is at risk of earthquakes. As a result, the underground tunnel had to be built to withstand earthquakes with a Richter magnitude of nine.
What is more, shortly after construction work began, the Roman Empire struck back—with ships, anchors, leather sandals, hairbrushes, and candleholders. Archaeologists found thousands of objects that they identified as relics of Constantinople. The skeletons they excavated are even regarded as evidence that people lived in Istanbul over 8,000 years ago. These discoveries delayed construction work for years.
Engineer Javier Raposo and his colleagues from Siemens Rail Automation in Istanbul thus had to work very quickly during the final phase of construction. They had to make sure that the system, in which commuter trains would glide through the undersea tunnel at two-minute intervals, would enter service in time for the 90th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey.
Today, some 75,000 people are transported every hour in both directions when the system is working at full capacity. That adds up to a million passengers per day—one fifth of Istanbul's total daily traffic.
The Siemens team was able to install the complete signaling and control technology, ranging from individual transmission cables to a complex operating system, only after the tunnel was completed and the rails had been laid. "The timeframe kept shrinking," Raposo recalls. Six months were initially planned for construction of the 13-kilometer stretch between the Kazlıçeşme and Ayrilikçeşme me stations, but ultimately that period was reduced to only two months. "That was a challenge, but we met it successfully," he says.
Moving-Block System. The short intervals between trains are made possible by a combination of several systems. These systems ensure that everyone involved—the drivers, control center personnel, and the trains themselves—has the same updated information. For this purpose, the trains are connected to the signaling system via radio. A train control system (Trainguard Sirius CBTC) that is installed in the infrastructure as well as in the trains, collects precise information concerning the location of individual cars. When a train travels through the tunnel, it passes one virtual block after another and continuously reports its position via radio to the block processors, which are connected with the electronic interlockings. The trains then receive instructions telling them how fast they can travel in which blocks. In this "moving block system," balises—small plates equipped with transmitters and receivers and embedded in the tracks—register a train's position and speed. In parallel, the exact position of every train is transmitted to a control system that monitors the traffic flow and guides it if necessary.
"The crucial feature of our train control system is that it knows what conclusions must be drawn on the basis of the information," Raposo explains. "It always knows how fast each train is traveling, when it stops, and when it starts up again. It knows the positions of the individual trains, and it recalculates the driving speed and braking distance for all the CBTC trains that are on a given route. The driver authorizes the train to run in automatic mode after each stop at a station and supervises the closure of the passenger doors." In this way, every train is automatically adjusted to the speed and position of the others.
But the system can do even more. It can save people's lives. Sensors sound an alarm if the earth quakes or water begins seeping into the tunnel. In such cases, trains automatically stop before entering the 1.4-kilometer section of the tunnel that lies under the seafloor, and the system closes the gates at both ends of the section. "The train control system also knows whether there are still trains in this section," Raposo explains. "The gates close only after all trains have left this critical section."
The train in which Harun Oruç is traveling has now passed the Bosporus, and five minutes later it stops at the Yenikapi station. Before the door opens, Oruç glances at his reflection in the train window and adjusts his suit jacket. As he steps out of the glistening rail car, he says, "There's yet another great aspect of the Marmaray Tunnel. I've traveled from Asia to Europe, and there's not a single wrinkle in my suit." He winks before disappearing into the crowd of passengers.

General Comments
Not possibe to get more gun for the money than this Mossberg 835 Multi Mag-Pump Action. If you have an unlimited budget then go with the Benelli Super Black Eagle II but if you are in need of a great gun for the least coin then look no farther than the Mossberg 835. It's great on turkeys and is equally comfortable in the duck blind. I have owned one for five years and have only good things to report. If the weather is looking rough or I know that conditions will be nasty then I leave my Benelli at home and grab ole' reliable, the Mossberg 835. I've taken just as many ducks and geese with the Mossberg as the Benelli. It just doesn't have the same WOW factor. Awesome, solid, reliable and also a great value. I recommend very highly.

Since we have 100s credit scores out there, are those from the same scoring models? If not, then it's no more than comparing Apples to oranges. FICO alone have 58 different scores and much more are available for lenders.

If by "You", you are referring to Credit Karma, it is because they use a different scoring model. Credit Karma uses VantageScore 3.0, not FICO so that is probably why there is such a big difference. Mine is the same way so I just use Credit Karma as a monitoring tool.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- A U.S. Senate committee has approved a merger of meat processor Smithfield with a Chinese company but Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said questions remain.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States approved the $4.7 billion sale of Smithfield to Shuanghui International Friday, but Stabenow -- who chairs the Senate Committee on Agriculture -- said it was not clear "what factors the committee took into account in making its decision."
"We still do not know if the potential impact on American food security, the transfer of taxpayer-funded innovation to a foreign competitor, or China's protectionist trade barriers were considered," Stabenow said.
"It's troubling that taxpayers have received no assurances that these critical issues have been taken into account in transferring control of one of America's largest food producers to a Chinese competitor with a spotty record on food safety," Stabenow said in a statement.
The New York Times reported Saturday that Shuanghui International has been the focus of an investigation in China concerning the sale of pork processed with clenbuterol, an additive that is illegal in China, the United States and the European Union.
The merger comes up against another hurdle Sept. 24, when Smithfield shareholders are to vote on the proposal.
A major Smithfield stockholder, the hedge fund Starboard Value, said it would vote against the deal.
The fund, which owns 5.7 percent of Smithfield, said it had discussed the deal with other potential buyers, some of which were willing to pay more than $4.7 billion, the hedge fund said.

Well, it would appear that I have been 'tagged' to answer a few question on how I got started in this business. This chain seems to have started back quite a ways and it is interesting to see how many degrees of separation there really are between people - I always knew that this was a small community.
Anyways, Scott Colestock, called me out to be next on the chain (along with a couple of other people) so here goes.
First, I didn't know what a Meme was. So, I went to the dictionary and this is what it has to say. A Meme is "A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another."
Second, I have been blogging for over 4 years and I have never put anything of a personal nature in any of my posts. So, this may be more than you ever wanted to know so read on at your own risk 🙂
How old were you when you started programming?
I was in 8th grade. My best friends father purchased an Apple II that he was going to use for his business along with VisiCalc. The computer was placed on a card table in the middle of their basement. It was like it was a show piece but no one really knew what to do with it. My friend and I spent nearly all of our free time playing with the computer and learning VisiCalc and creating calculations for his fathers business. We quickly got tired of VisiCalc and needed something else to keep us interested. We started programming and entering commands to see what the machine would do. We quickly got tired of seeing Syntax Error and decided it was time to get a bit more serious.
What was your first language?
What was the first real program you wrote?
My friend and I decided to write a maze game. The graphics (if you can really call them that) were big white blocks that we placed on the screen. I think it was really too big to take on as our first application since it took us a really long time. It was a good learning experience in regards to how long things take - a good lesson for the future.
What languages have you used since you started programming?
Well, it started out with Basic, then QuickBasic. Then I did three years of COBOL programming on a VAX (but I have never told anyone that and I would like to keep it that way). I did a lot of statistics programming in a proprietary language as well as a lot of DBASE III+. Then I got into PowerBuilder v2.0 and something new called Visual Basic 1.0. I have programmed (and put software into production) with every version of Visual Basic from 1.0 to 6.0. I even received my first Microsoft certification on VB3. There were other languages that I played around with but never did anything with them professionally. Anyways, when .NET was released I jettisoned all previous development languages and have focused on C# for the last 7 years. This question only talks about languages but I would be remiss if I didn't put BizTalk somewhere in this post.
What was your first professional programming gig?
Officially my first professional programming gig was when I graduated college and worked for a marketing research company.
If you knew then what you know now, would you have started programming?
Absolutely. Looking back at where things have come it is incredible the amount of new things to learn and be a part of. I love the fact that there is always a new challenge and there has never been a boring day. There certainly have been days where I felt like ripping my hair out though or banging my head on a softer part of the wall.
If there is one thing you learned along the way that you would tell new developers, what would it be?
Always keep the architecture in mind. It is very easy to focus only on the specific low level technology. Also, never forget that development is only 30% of the effort of a project. You can have a lot of fun with performance tuning and throughput analysis - ok, a bit geeky but still, you can have fun with it. Also, surround yourself with Type-A, hard working, curious, energetic people.
What's the most fun you've ever had...programming?
hmm...I have had fun working with small teams where we get a lot accomplished in a very short amount of time. However, I find that I get my greatest sense of accomplishment from working on troubled projects/death march projects and turning them around and getting them finished.
The worst/best was a year long project for the Texas Prison System. Imagine working for 72 hours straight with two other team members trying to meet a contract deadline and the work was done on the prison grounds. We met the timeframe and drank an incredible amount of Mt. Dew along the way (I am not sure which I am more proud of).
We learned a lot about the prison system, escape stories and a renewed understanding why scared straight programs work so well. All of which I would be happy to tell you over beers.
Who am I calling out?

Team officially finishes second in first-ever PDL season.
Tucson, AZ (Saturday, July 14, 2012) — Friday the 13th turned out to be a night of horror for FC Tucson as the team dropped its final regular-season game, 6-0, to OC Blue Star.
"We'll try to put things in perspective," said FC Tucson General Manager and Associate Head Coach Jon Pearlman. "This is a singular black mark on an otherwise fantastic regular season campaign but it's a black mark. … We're extremely disappointed."
The start of the game foreshadowed the problems FC Tucson would have all evening. Blue Star's Andrew Craven broke through the FC Tucson defense for back-to-back break away chances within the game's first three minutes. In both instances it was Craven's mishits that prevented easy goals.
Ten minutes later FC Tucson wouldn't be so lucky. Orange County's Enrique Cardenas found his way through the defense and chipped the ball over a diving Brendan Roslund before easily tapping it over the goal line for the game's first score.
Then FC Tucson's night got worse.
Just four minutes after the first goal, Craven found redemption, converting his chance from the right side of the box after splitting the defense again. Six minutes after that goal, Cardenas again found himself one-on-one with Roslund and slipped the ball through his legs for Blue Star's third goal in 13 minutes.
That deficit alone would've been tough to overcome, but things didn't get better. In the 37th minute Craven got behind the defense again, maneuvered his way around Roslund, and slotted his shot from the far right side of the box into a wide open net.
FC Tucson's Conor Spence came painfully close to clearing the ball off the line but it was too late. He and the ball went into the side of the net.
"I think mentally we checked out," Pearlman said. "As much as players and coaches try to have a great pride in taking the field, sometimes after a long season you want to take a moment off. OC Blue Star is an excellent side … They had some revenge on their mind and took advantage of some great finishing and timely goalkeeping."
David Ponce and Blake Wise added two more goals in the second half for Orange County but by that time the game become more about survival for FC Tucson and leaving without an injury rather than winning. Heading into the game, several players were either sick or injured. One, Donny Toia, was serving a game suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards. In all, FC Tucson had one healthy sub.
"Those are excuses," Pearlman said. "And we don't make excuses."
The night wasn't a complete negative. Ricardo Velasco continues to be a spark at the top and on a different night he could've scored two or three goals with some of the many chances he created for himself.
But the biggest positive of the evening is that it was the final game of the regular season. Nothing was on the line. Nothing was lost except for a game. FC Tucson will rest over the weekend and return to training on Monday morning in preparation for the franchise's first-ever postseason game on Friday, July 20.
"Nothing was done today that can't be undone in a solid week of training and by having a fantastic performance (in the playoffs)," Pearlman said. "So we'll focus on that rather than this."

By now you have probably all heard the lie that President Obama is not some sort some sort of high spending liberal. The left has been pushing hard to get Americans to buy into all sorts of iterations of this Big Lie.
While Congress makes budgets, the President is supposed to be the check and the balance. Obama has been neither. What's more, with the Democratically controlled Senate stonewalling all budgets, the spending continues just as it did when the left had a firm strangle hold on the government back in 2009. And there is no arguing with the numbers.
Through the first eight months of this fiscal year, the federal government has spend us another $845 billion into the hole and we are on pace to add $1.23 trillion in total debt when all is said and done.
When you count TARP, which I remind you Senator Obama voted for emphatically even as he now tries to lay that spending solely at the feet of former President Bush, the amount of money that this President has spent is beyond malfeasance. It is criminal. It is theft from out grand children who must pay back this senseless debt.

River Falls police dragnet seeks to contain bovine escapees
While not considered armed and dangerous, police officers had their hands full for two hours Sunday afternoon, Nov. 11, after two stray cows were spotted at DeSanctis Park. The heifer and calf apparently came from the Paul Haskins farm just west of the city. When officers got to the park, the cow suspects had hoofed on.
They ambled south on Grove Street, past the city compost site and school bus garage before ending up by a fence at the old power plant overlooking the South Fork River.
Efforts to herd them into a UW-River Falls lab farm horse trailer proved fruitless. The pair of cows wanted their freedom and the odyssey continued.
Police, using squad cars, tried to hem the cows in so they wouldn't cause a traffic accident. Members of the Haskins family even assisted on horseback.
One police sergeant on duty said the procession drew a hearty crowd of onlookers who seemed to relish the Sunday afternoon spectacle.
The heifer and calf eventually split up as they drifted past Westside Elementary School, the under-construction Eco-Village and Faith Lutheran Church.
Officers lost sight of them in the Dry Run Road area of St. Croix County as they moved in the general direction of the farm where they belonged. This occurred at 4:30 p.m. as daylight was giving way to darkness
Police also:
--Arrested a 51-year-old Hudson man for drunk driving-5th offense at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 9. The man had tried to order a burger and fries in the drive-thru lane at Dairy Queen but he was confused and couldn't pay correctly. Finally he just paid for the burger but then blocked an entry lane to Dairy Queen with his truck. Police found him parked illegally in the lot by Pizza Hut. The man said he wasn't drinking but wanted pizza. He said he had dyslexia and dementia and couldn't recall being at Dairy Queen. In the end the man was brought to the hospital for a blood sample and then taken to county jail in Ellsworth. A conviction for this latest drunk driving incident would be a felony.
--Are investigating the theft of a slew of valuable rings from a house in the 500 block of High Ridge Road recently. The silver and gold rings including wedding rings and rings with a ruby, opal and diamonds were taken from a jewelry box on a bedroom dresser. The estimated loss is over $4,500.
For much more, please see Police Beat in the Nov. 15 print edition of the River Falls Journal.

Survival of the Fittest
One of the things I love about Jeep'n is that I can safely transport myself around the woods. Part of this thinking is that is **** on earth ever broke loose I could survive.
Always wanting to be self sufficient it has kind of been a hobby to prepare for the worst in the event my family needed to survive.
We try to keep a couple months food supply on hand for our friends and family JUST IN CASE.
I've been checking out this outfit and thinking about investing in a 3 month supply of freeze dried foods.
What are your thoughts on this and what do you do to prepare yourself in case it all goes to **** in a handbasket?
