Best "weather app" for LG 900g
I don't know too much about smart phones. But I have one the cheap net 10 phones that i want to use to drill down to detailed radar images using the screen in the best way possible.
I discovered that Opera Mobile is formatting the screen for an "portrait" view as opposed to landscape - like a blackberry's screen. The Opera website says it can't find any such phone as a LG900.
Anyone have a great weather app they use to see storms when out on the back roads? The "accu-weather" on Opera isn't exactly great.
I like weatherbug because it shows you doppler radar which shows which way to ride to avoid oncoming storms..
Can't figure it out - the website wants to send alerts - can't find a mobile app download.
Beautiful widgets...
I did find out that I should use the LG 300GW as the "model" I might try it again.
The Opera browser is probably good enough. But it would be cool to have dedicated "radar" rain prediction app. I saw one on a Verizon phone.
One big deal is - so many apps are formatted for I-phone style screens - not Blackberry "landscape style."
Widgets are for "Android" phones.

Finally, here is my final recipe in the Halloween recipe series: cinnamon apple pockets, made out of puff pastry, made to look like wizard hats. I hope they do look like wizard hats.

For this Halloween, I didn't want to make any disgusting looking desserts (such as bleeding eyeballs or intestines), just something spooky and easy. So, my solution was to decorate all of my MANY-MANY Fall-themed desserts (that I don't seem to be able to stop baking) with spooky bugs made out of chocolate. As a result, […] Read More
Ever since Halloween cooking craze started, I've been seeing a lot of mummy themed foods, usually hot dogs wrapped in mummy-like pastry.

Nightmare harvest: Halloween pumpkin puff pastry pie (tart) with apple-cranberry stuffed crust, chocolate bugs, and cinnamon wizard hats
Once upon a time, the pumpkin pie got infested with little chocolate bugs, spiders, and worms. Some of these creatures have eyes and are staring right back at you from the tart. But, thankfully, there are three magic wizard hats (with cinnamon apple filling) to save the harvest. It's a battle: the bugs have managed […] Read More

To get started with the Arduino Mini, follow the directions for the regular Arduino on your operating system (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux), with the following modifications:
The microcontroller (an ATmega328) on the Arduino Mini is a physically smaller version of the chip on the USB Arduino boards, with the following small difference:
Also, the Arduino Mini is more fragile and easy to break than a regular Arduino board.
Here's a diagram of the pin layout of the Arduino Mini:
Mini 03 pinout (compatible with earlier revisions)
Mini 04 and 05 pinout (the ground on the left has moved down one pin)
To use the Arduino Mini, you need to connect:
You have a few options for connecting the board: the Mini USB Adapter, a regular Arduino board, or your own power supply and USB/Serial adapter.
The circuit shown here is the basic setup for an Arduino mini connected to a USB-to-serial converter. You can see power and ground from the USB are run to the rails of the breadboard so it's convenient for the other components on the board. The 0.1uF capacitor from the reset pin is connected to the RTS pin on the mini USB adaptor. This enables auto-reset when the serial port is opened, meaning you don't have to press the reset button every time you upload new code. If it gives you problems, you can remove it, and press reset every time.
You can use a USBSerial connector wired up in a similar fashion :
Here's a photo of the Arduino Mini connected to an Arduino NG. The NG has its ATmega8 removed and is being used for its USB connection, power source, and reset button. Thus, you can reset the Arduino Mini just by pressing the button on the NG.

East Anglia needs 'extra month's rain' to help farmers
East Anglia will need the equivalent of an extra month's rainfall over the next three months to help farmers tackle the effects of drought, a university professor has said.
Prof Kevin Hiscock of the environmental sciences department at the University of East Anglia said the region needed 200mm (7.87in) of rain by March.
He said average monthly rainfall in the East of England was 50mm (1.97in).
Much of the region is still in drought, according to the Environment Agency.
It said Cambridgeshire, parts of Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire and west Norfolk are still suffering from depleted water resources, particularly groundwater, due to a lack of rainfall.
Continuing drought
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) declared drought in the area in June following the driest spring on record.
Prof Hiscock said "soil moisture deficit" in the East was currently about 100mm (3.94in), which he believed had not been the case since about 1978.
"If we continue with this dry weather for the next few weeks then next spring we're going to have a deficit to begin the season with," he said.
"At the moment the water levels in the chalk aquifer [permeable rock] in parts of eastern and southern England are very depressed."
Prof Hiscock put the continued lack of rainfall in the East down to a "blocking high pressure" area that extends from the continent westwards, pushing any rainbelts further north.
The Environment Agency previously said households would not be affected by the continuing drought.
But the lack of rainfall has greatly depleted many farmers' crops in the region.
John Carrick from Castle Farm at Swanton Morley, Norfolk, said in the last harvest he lost about £100 per acre of arable crop due to the lack of rain, compared to previous years.
Prof Hiscock urged farmers to capture any high rainfall over the winter and store it for next season.

Any regular visitor to Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort has undoubtedly eaten at Plate at one time or another. The casino cafe, however, didn't change its menu for more than a year.
Let's just say the new menu was worth the wait.
Overseen by Chef de Cuisine Kevin Giunta, 75 percent of Plate's menu is either new or features a new presentation.
"We wanted to do something new and different to make it more exciting for guests to come in here," Giunta says. "We are having some fun with the recipes and the presentations. We are the only restaurant here open about 90 percent of the time, so we want to try to do things to capture everybody."
Start with the dozen-item appetizer menu; seven of its dishes are new. Standouts include the cheesesteak spring rolls ($12), the Bacon, Bacon "Jam" Crostini ($9); and the "Plate" of nachos ($12) with chorizo, traditional queso blanco from Spain and homemade pico de gallo and refried black beans.
"For the spring rolls, I knew we couldn't put a cheesesteak on the menu now that White House was down the hall, so we started playing with some wrappers in the kitchen, then added some good top-round beef and provolone and made a nice Sriracha ketchup for a nice sweetness and heat at the same time."
The "Jam" is one of Giunta's favorites.
"It really works in this atmosphere because everyone comes in for bacon and eggs in the morning; it's probably our top seller," Giunta says. "And everyone has a cup of coffee. So we made a jam with bacon and coffee with a really good maple syrup, paired it with some fairly local goat cheese, candied nuts and dressed greens. It all works well together and it's fun. But some people are a little intimidated by it, so I have been actually sending it out to the bar area for some people to try it. Hopefully, they'll get hooked."
Some of the other new additions include Nona's meatball and ricotta brick-oven pizza ($13); two new salads; five new sandwiches including the "Hangover" burger ($13) with a fried egg and smoked gouda cheese and bacon and Nucky's Jawbreaker ($13) with corned beef, turkey, Swiss cheese, house slaw and thousand island dressing; six new entrees such as pecan-crusted tilapia ($18), homestyle meatloaf ($16), three different chicken dishes (all ($18) including chicken pot pie; and five new desserts, including a tiramisu cupcake ($6).
Giunta is particularly proud of Nona's spaghetti and meatball ($16), which uses imported spaghetti from Italy and his mom's meatball recipe.
"It's fresh bread, garlic, parsley and lots of parmigiano reggiano in an 11-ounce meatball that is hand rolled," Giunta says. "No one is doing that in town. They either have the butcher shop do it or they buy it."
The chef says most people have been very positive about all of the changes.
"I think we are paying more attention to detail than we have in the past," Giunta says. "We are trying to get the cooks more involved and have them really pay attention to flavor details and remind them of the basics and why we are here. We make all of our own sauces and we're really back to the fundamentals of good cooking. It's more work, but I have never been afraid to work. I think this menu is great because it's fun, but it's also basic and not too fancy. It speaks to everyone that comes into the cafe. No one should feel intimidated."
Plate is open 24 hours Fridays and Saturdays, and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays to Thursdays. Call 609-449-1000.
Burger Bar deals
Gallagher's Burger Bar, arguably the best burger bar in the city, is offering a great deal that is worth checking out.
They call it "We Fiddle with the Middle," and it's an interesting concept for a burger bar: a prix-fixe menu. Offered from 4 to 7 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays, the $14.95 meals includes: choice of soup of the day or small Caesar salad; choice of grilled chicken sandwich with fries or prime beef sliders with fries; and choice of chocolate Frangelica cake or cheesecake for dessert.
For more information on Gallagher's, located inside Resorts Casino Hotel, call 609-340-6554.
'Dark Knight Rises'

If you're like me and can't wait for the final installment of Director Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy - "The Dark Knight Rises" - that will be released on July 20, then you will probably want to head to the IMAX inside The Quarter at the Tropicana Casino and Resort.
Before every showing of "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," the opening sequence for "The Dark Knight Rises" will be screened for moviegoers beginning Friday, Dec. 16. The six-minute prologue features Nolan's use of extremely high-resolution cameras and stellar sound techniques.
The film will feature Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (Catwoman), Tom Hardy as Bane, Michael Caine as Alfred, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox.
For those who really can't wait, there will be sneak preview screenings 9:15 p.m. and midnight Thursday, Dec. 15. Sounds like a fun night out.

On Monday, an El Cajon man pleaded not guilty to the abuse and neglect of his disabled brother, who ended up dying in the hospital.
Christopher Marlow, 26, and his mother, Deborah Marlow, 56, are both accused in the death of 28-year-old Jeremy Marlow in January.
Jeremy was mentally handicapped and also suffered from cerebral palsy. He was completely dependent upon his family for his care, according to investigators.
When paramedics arrived at the family's home in El Cajon, the bed Jeremey was lying in was covered in feces, urine and black mold. Doctors said he weighed less than 100 pounds and had open pressure sores all over his body.
"The apartment was filthy," Deputy District Attorney Kurt Mechals said on Monday. "It was a deplorable situation in which nobody -- no matter their mental acuity --should have to live through."
Jeremy's mother and brother were receiving $5,000 a month from the government to take care of him, according to investigators, who said they fled to Georgia soon after he died. The pair were arrested last week after returning to San Diego.
Deborah will be arraigned on Wednesday. If convicted, they could each receive up to seven years in prision.

China Mobile's capex cut a blow to FPGA vendors
Post a comment
SAN FRANCISCOThe announcement by China Mobile Ltd. Thursday (March 18) that its 2010 capital expenditures would decline 5 percent compared with last year is bad news for programmable logic suppliers Xilinx Inc. and Altera Corp, which derive about 10 percent of their revenue from China's basestation market, a Wall Street analyst said Friday.
China Mobile (Hong Kong) plans to spend about $18 billion on capital expenditures in 2010, down from $18.9 billion in 2009, according to Christopher Danely, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co. The updated figure is well below China Mobile's initial 2010 capex estimate of $19.2 billion, Danely said in a report circulated Friday. The wireless carrier, which claims greater than 70 percent market share in China, also said it expects capex to further decline 20 percent in 2011 and another 18 percent in 2012, according to Danely.
"We believe the China basestation end market represents roughly 8 percent of total Xilinx revenue and 12 percent of total Altera revenue," Danely wrote. "As one of China's largest telcos, we believe China Mobile's CapEx reduction could negatively impact both Xilinx and Altera revenue during 2010 and beyond."
Danely also reiterated his previous warning that Xilinx and Altera may be over-shipping and are at risk of inventory build. The companies' sales are running roughly 10 percent above their previous peak, while revenue at most of their customers should still be roughly 10 percent below the previous peak, Danely said.
JP Morgan maintains a rating of "neutral" on both Xilinx' and Altera's stocks.

Agent: CFL WR Williams signs with Saints
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Wide receiver Chris Williams, who negotiated his release from the CFL's Hamilton Tiger Cats this week, has signed a contract with the New Orleans Saints, his agent said Thursday.
Dan Vertlieb, Williams' Vancouver-based agent, told The Canadian Press that Williams is headed to New Orleans.
On Wednesday, Williams and the Ticats reached an agreement to allow CFL's top special-teams player last year to pursue opportunities in the NFL.
Contract details weren't immediately available, but the 25-year-old Williams stands to make much more than the $48,000 base salary he was scheduled to earn this season in Hamilton.
The NFL's 2013 minimum salary is $405,000.

August 12, or the Glorious Twelfth as it is known, traditionally marks the start of the grouse shooting season, but also serves as a good point to celebrate an underused culinary delight. Game - which includes rabbit, venison, partridge and pheasant - might not be one of the first things people think about when it comes to lunch, but it has a lot to recommend it. The meat is extremely low in fat and, given that the animals are wild, couldn't be more free range. Some people don't enjoy the characteristic (OK, pretty strong) taste of some game, but in the right dish it can be delicious.
Although this year August 12 falls on a Sunday, tradition rules out shooting on a Sunday, which means that the Glorious Twelfth will actually be celebrated on August 13. That gives you an entire fortnight to get hold of some wonderful smoked venison - try your local butcher. No (or rubbish) butcher? You can even buy meat online (try rannochsmokery.co.uk). It's worth tracking down: the flavour of the venison alongside the sweetness of the roast vegetables and the sharp horseradish make this a truly glorious sandwich.
Smoked venison, roast red onion and roast pepper sandwich with fresh horseradish
Thinly sliced smoked venison
2 red onions
1 red pepper
Sea salt
Olive oil
Thumb of fresh horseradish
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
250ml whipping cream
Fresh bread or baguette of your choice (wholemeal or granary is best)
Peel and quarter the red onions. Toss in olive oil and some sea salt. Roast in a fairly hot oven for about 30 minutes.
Remove the seeds and stalk from the peppers, cut into slices then toss in olive oil and roast for about 15 minutes. The peppers must be cooked but still have a little crunch to them.
Meanwhile grate the peeled horseradish into a food processor, add two tablespoons of white wine vinegar and blend. Whip the cream and fold in the horseradish, then spread a small amount of the mixture on the bread or baguette before adding the venison, onions and peppers. Keep in the fridge until lunch.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: My car was always stalling and my fuel pump was replaced and now my car is dead. on 2008 Hyundai Elantra
what shuld i do i cannot trust any one i paid 400.00 for the new fuel pump can you tell me what to check?
| |
It is hard to diagnose an intermittent fault but when your car is in a failed state it should be easier to determine what is wrong, assuming the battery is sufficiently strong enough to crank over the engine and the engine has mechanical integrity (ie can develop compression all components in the engine are in synchronization with each other), I would look to see if the engine has lost fuel or spark. Check for fuel pressure (you will need a fuel pressure gauge and look up the specified fuel pressure for your vehicle). Remove the fuel hose that goes to the fuel rail and get a friend to crank over the engine to see you have adequate fuel volume (you should have approximately 1 pint of gasoline in ten seconds of cranking). Off course take proper precautions as gasoline is highly flamable. Next "listen" to the fuel injector. Using a mechanic's stethoscope (or use a long screw driver placing the handle end up to your ear place the metal tip end of the screwdriver against the body of the fuel injector), get a friend to crank over the engine while you "listen" to the fuel injector listen to each injector at the same point of the injector body. You should hear "click, click, click" as the injector is electrically opened and closed by the computer. If the injector is not being triggered you will not have fuel getting into the engine's cylinders. Disconnect the electrical connector at the fuel injector with the ignition key in the "on" position, (next position after the accessory position) you should have 12 volts at one of the two wires at the injector. This true for most vehicles but you need to consult a workshop manual for your vehicle to see that this is true for your vehicle. When the engine is running the second wire at the injector gets (triggered) grounded by the computer in your vehicle many times a second controlling exactly when and how much fuel gets injected into the engine. Check for spark at the spark plug end of the ignition coil. Both fuel and spark share common sensors that can cause failure of both systems at once. Cars are complex unfortunately but with the car failed it should be easy to figure out. Hyundai as a car manufacturer put a lot of free technical information and workshop manuals on line for Hyundai owners. Check out www.hmaservice.com lots of great information.There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online

Lmao did you just call Deandre jordan elite? he's not even close to elite. Jonas is easily going to be better than Deandre and Chandler EASILY!

Pelosi Statement on Anniversary of Roe v. Wade
San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement marking the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision today:
"For the more than 40 years since Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court has consistently ruled that a woman's reproductive health decisions must be her own – in consultation with her family, her physician and her faith. Yet today, American women are witnessing a brazen and concerted Republican effort to roll back their constitutional right to make their own health decisions.
"Politicians have no business inserting themselves into a woman's most personal and private health decisions. Republicans' outrageous attacks on women's health in the states, the courts and the Congress seek to drag America's women back to a dark and dangerous past. Already, women in many states across the country are finding their most intimate decisions under assault – including Republicans' efforts to roll back access to any kind of family planning.
"Today, we renew our vow to stand strong for women's rights and women's decisions. We rededicate ourselves to fighting back any and all efforts to erode women's hard-won reproductive freedoms. We must defend women's comprehensive health care and reduce the number of unintended pregnancies at home and across the world."

During the early hours of the VIP preview at Art Basel Miami Beach today, rapper Sean Combs, dressed in all black and wearing shades, was seen browsing the aisles with his entourage. Most art-fair purchases are not cash and carry. But Combs was seen leaving the fair holding a photographic print by an unidentified artist above his head like a trophy as a scrum of photographers snapped pictures.
Combs wasn't the only one making quick acquisitions. A top New York art advisor told A.i.A. that the things he really wanted were already sold. "But don't quote me!" he said. "My clients would be mad that I wasn't there first."
"We sold several things by e-mail before the preview," New York dealer Jane Hait, of Wallspace Gallery, told A.i.A. Exhibiting in the Nova section for younger galleries, Wallspace is showing painted sculptures by Galen Gerber, who will be in the 2014 Whitney Biennial, for $12,000-$22,000.
Also in the Nova section, Claudia Altman-Siegel had sold two editions of a Shannon Ebner photograph, for $8,000, by 11:35.
Secondary market sales were also strong, with Nicholas Acquavella reporting to A.i.A. a half-million-dollar sale of a tiny Wayne Thiebaud pastel from 1964.
Whitney Museum of Art curator Scott Rothkopf, along with Whitney board co-chair Brooke Neidich, browsed among the Martin Creed paintings at the stand of New York dealer Gavin Brown. Neidich indicated a Matt Saunders C-print across the way at the stand of L.A. gallery Blum & Poe. "I like it but it's already on hold," she lamented.
By 30 minutes into the preview, Emanuela Campoli of London's Campoli Presti had sold an editioned work by Jason Loebs three times over, and had sold all the Liz Deschenes photographs on display for $15,000 to $35,000.
VIPs like Leonardo DiCaprio and Elle Macpherson circulated among the booths. A-Rod was sighted with New York art advisor Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn at Berlin gallery neugerriemschneider's stand, which had been designed by Jorge Pardo, and which turned the typical gallery booth inside out. Vitrines on the exterior walls held works by gallery artists, while the interior had been transformed into a low-lit lounge with Mexican colonial-style furniture designed by Pardo, dark wood and colorful fabrics. The hanging lamps, by contrast, were geometric clear plastic designs that are more characteristic of Pardo's modernist style; "Those are pure Pardo World," the gallery's Maia Gianakos told A.i.A.
"I love it!" L.A. collector Eli Broad told A.i.A. at the neugerriemschneider booth. "This is a great work of art."
Ninety minutes into the preview, New York dealer Sean Kelly said that sales were so strong that he hadn't been able to meet with his staff to compare notes. "But we've sold a lot," he said, standing in his booth showing work by Laurent Grasso, Marina Abramovic and Kehinde Wiley, among others.
"We sold three Guyton/Walker pieces in the first hour for $65,000 each," a staffer from NewYork's Greene Naftali told A.i.A. The works are colorfully printed mattresses, with bright abstractions drawing on paintings by the artist duo.
High-powered curators were also in the mix. Adam Szymczyk, newly appointed artistic director of the next Documenta, studied a 42-part 2011 work on paper by Polly Apfelbaum at Galerie nächst St. Stephan.
Reached by phone near the end of the day, collector Michael Hort told A.i.A. that he had "bought a whole wall" of works by Marina Perez Simao at the booth of Brazilian gallery Mendes Wood.
"The fair provides a great mix of established artists and unknown ones," Serpentine Gallery director Hans Ulrich Obrist told A.i.A., seated outside of Fondation Beyeler's stand . "Miami offers an encounter of many geographies, and there's the opening of the great Herzog & de Meuron-designed Pérez Art Museum Miami. The city is an exhibition."
Competition and Sales Brisk at ABMB Preview
During the early hours of the VIP preview at Art Basel Miami Beach today, rapper Sean Combs, dressed in all black and wearing shades, was seen browsing the aisles with his entourage. Most art-fair purchases are not cash and carry. But Combs was seen leaving the fair holding a photographic print by an unidentified artist above his head like a trophy as a scrum of photographers snapped pictures.

CADOXTON v ABERCYNON
Cadoxton Bowling Club hosted Saturday's Municipal League 4 clash and, once again, it was the Kelvin Chedgzoy's rink who stole the limelight in an overall 11-shot victory.
Taking the lead on the third end with a 4, Chedgzoy's four gradually increased their advantage to enjoy a 14-shot success.
Howard Craven's rink streaked into a 13-0 lead after eight ends and, although the visitors produced a late rally, the home four held for a comfortable win.
Despite taking an early 12-5 lead, Don Kuhnell's four settled for a share of the spoils, while John Jones' rink kept in touch early on but were outmanouvered as the visitors chalked up two 5s in the closing stages.
Cadoxton: L Davies, S Clarke, D Brook, H Craven 25-12; P Swannick, R Harding, P Ellis, K Chedgzoy 29-15; I Robertson, D Evans, G Davies, D Kuhnell 21-21; G Solomon, A Carpenter, D Jeffries, J Jones15-31. Cadoxton 90, Abercynon 79.
CAERPHILLY SOCIAL v CADOXTON A
Despite going down on all four rinks and being beaten 102-38 overall, the Cadoxton A side turned in a creditable Municipal League 5 performance against table-topping Caerphilly Social.
New recruit Arthur Field played well on his introduction to league bowls and other Cadoxton players fought equally valiantly.
Skip David Tuck said that he had never used as much chalk in a game as he did on the many touchers of lead Ewan Heppenstall and team captain David Fanning.

MSAE boys' prevail Saturday at Pella Invitational
The Maharishi School of the Age of Englightenment boys' tennis team won the Pella Invitational by a slim margin Saturday.
The Pioneers finished with the same amount of points as Pella, but MSAE was given the victory because it won more total games over the course of the day. Boone, Grinnell and Albia rounded out the field.
"Pella has a strong team," MSAE coach Steve Briggs said. "We won our final four matches against them, which carried us to victory."
Sam Stickels captured first place in the singles competition, while Surya Sawhney and Solaris Nite won the doubles title. Nite and Sawhney were able to defeat Pella's Tom Palmer and Aaron Van Maanen, who were top eight finishers in the state last season.
Girindra Selleck and Chandre Morales finished third in doubles for the Pioneers.
MSAE will compete Tuesday at Burlington and will host the Pioneer Invitational on Saturday.

stopping big oil's post-hurricane land grab
Tomorrow congress votes on "The Gasoline Act of 2005" (H.R. 3893), a rushed measure that would forgive sub-standard emissions in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The House Resources Committee is also moving a bill that would open the Arctic Refuge–along with marine areas in Florida, New England, and California–for drilling. A recent alert by the NRDC calls for immediate action, and offers an easy way to tell your congressman ">NO.
With massive oil spills still choking Gulf Coast wetlands to death, it is practically obscene that Congress would be rushing to hand over the rest of our coastal inheritance to the oil giants.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more misguided response to energy shortages in the post-hurricane season than opening up more protected areas to drilling. Is it possible to look at pictures of the Louisiana coast and still dismiss the EDF's report on the vital role of coastal ecosystems and barrier islands in tempering tropical storms?

For PC Virus Victims, Pay or ElseCULVER CITY, Calif. — Kidnappers used to make ransom notes with letters cut out of magazines. Now, notes simply pop up on your computer screen, except the hostage is your PC.
In the past year, hundreds of thousands of people across the world have switched on their computers to find distressing messages alerting them that they no longer have access to their PCs or any of the files on them.
The messages claim to be from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, some 20 other law enforcement agencies across the globe or, most recently, Anonymous, a shadowy group of hackers. The computer users are told that the only way to get their machines back is to pay a steep fine.
And, curiously, it's working. The scheme is making more than $5 million a year, according to computer security experts who are tracking them. More...

Cyberattacks Could Become as Destructive as 9/11: PanettaU.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the Pentagon and American intelligence agencies are seeing an increase in cyber threats that could become as devastating as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks if they aren't stopped.
"A cyber attack perpetrated by nation states or violent extremist groups could be as destructive as the terrorist attack of 9/11," Panetta said last night. "Such a destructive cyber terrorist attack could paralyze the nation."
The Defense Department is drafting new rules that will allow the military to defend U.S. "national interests" in addition to its own computer networks, Panetta said in prepared remarks delivered in New York on board the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier that's now a museum.
Panetta offered the highest-level confirmation to date of recent cyber attacks on U.S. and international computer networks and faulted Congress for failing to pass comprehensive cybersecurity legislation this year. In the absence of such a law, President Barack Obama's administration may issue an executive order, Panetta said. More...

Cyber Attacks on U.S. Banks Expose Computer VulnerabilityCyber attacks on the biggest U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) & Co., have breached some of the nation's most advanced computer defenses and exposed the vulnerability of its infrastructure, said cybersecurity specialists tracking the assaults.
The attack, which a U.S. official yesterday said was waged by a still-unidentified group outside the country, flooded bank websites with traffic, rendering them unavailable to consumers and disrupting transactions for hours at a time.
Such a sustained network attack ranks among the worst-case scenarios envisioned by the National Security Agency, according to the U.S. official, who asked not to be identified because he isn't authorized to speak publicly. The extent of the damage may not be known for weeks or months, said the official, who has access to classified information. More...

Twilight's Kingdom... It's not as bad as the Crystal Empire or Princess Twilight Sparkle. I wouldn't say it's good, it's still a rickety story like all of Meghan's longer episodes/movies, but it is a step in the right direction. Between S2 and 3 for some reason Meghan dropped the ball (it happens), The Crystal Empire (in comparison to Canterlot Wedding) had many gimmicks (Mainly being the Fair (jousting) and Castle (stairs, door)), "jokes" (Rarity obsessing over crystal ponies, flugelhorn, Pinkie Spy...) and instant resolutions (We need information, oh we need the heart. Where Sombra hide the heart? Oh here's the path. Oh no there's a door! I got past it.). Slowly over time, Meghan has been picking up the pieces, Twilight's kingdom mostly avoids narrow sighted gimmick driven stories filled with dumb jokes, which is the best praise I can personally give it really.
My first impressions of this episode, was that it was... boring, simple, generic. I tried it with my byter-patented "can it work as an audio play?" test and it passed fairly well.
One of the biggest problems this episode has, is that the majority of it is just standing and talking, if we just look past what they are talking about, what did the characters actually do? The main 5 just followed Twilight around for while, then she runs off and they just sit around in ponyville until they are captured and stuff.The princesses just went to Canterlot and then sat around doing next to nothing until they were captured and sent to Tartarus. Discord just meets with the M6, meets the big bad, hangs around with him and gets betrayed/captured at the end. Tirak is just running around separate from the rest of the cast (except Discord and the princesses at one point) until he challenges Twilight and it all gets wrapped up. Twilight just goes from place to place, she gets all the magic and then just messed around with it until the big fight.
Basically the majority of what "happens" is done by people talking about or through the plot. How does Twilight express her pointless princess position? She talks/sings about it. How does Discord get convinced to be bad again? He talks about it. How do we learn what the villain has done? Celestia tells Twilight about it. How or why do they choose to trust Discord or put all the magic to Twilight? They talk it over. This property, like the rest of the kid exposition this/last season, makes this episode a fair radio drama out the gate, because the majority of the episode is given to us aurally, not visually. This to not say ALL of it is talking, the battle, Twilight controlling her super magic-ness and Tirek bashing down the door are times where (for the most part) the characters don't feel the need to explain what is going on and what they are doing.
So whilst most of what 'happens' is just exposition/talking... what about the plot and characters?
Well as I have established before, I am rather disappointed that once again the rest of the main cast serve no purpose beyond being magical beakers from which to distill "friendship magic". This show keeps talking about friendship, but I think it's pretty clear that they only care about Twilight and her magical friendship destiny nonsense more than they care about actually having their friendship manifest in a real/meaningful way. I guess at least, compared to all the rest of the cast, be it the CMC, the cakes or even Mayor Mare... at least the M6 get a little recognition (rather than absolutely none at all).
Ok. let's be frank, this story is about Princesses (all 4 alicorns) and powerful magical beasts (Discord/Tirak), it's going for big scale, all the self entitled alicorn magic up against all the magic of all the people absorbed by a giant magic vampire, before friendship comes in at the end to save the day...
The three princesses just move around as a single unit, like a three headed hydra that has even less diversity than the M5 hydra. They weren't that good in my opinion, in the start they just tell Twilight it's all alright... which means nothing really. They make a lot of the important decisions of the show, making them have all the agency over the story... As I said this story is simple... so the only rational presented is what is going to happen. It actually looks like the Princesses are rather impulsive, as soon as one of them propose something, that's the plan. Despite being rulers of the whole of Equestria with many diplomatic ties to other nations, the princesses seem to have only two cards in their hand. 1. Send Discord. 2. Hide all the magic in Twilight and just deny total victory. It's patently just a shallow ploy to have the story be on the level of Twilight and magic vs magic. I mean is there nothing that you couldn't throw at the bad guy apart from Discord? Like arrows, or non magical creatures, or whatever you did last time to arrest and imprison him last time? Eh. The princess's plans weren't that good, it was obvious that Discord was going to betray them. The plan to rely on anonymity of Twilight is also dumb... Discord knows ALL the princesses and he is with the big bad. I don't think not telling the M5 will change anything because Tirak isn't exactly interrogating everyone, he's just steamrolling around sucking everything, it's obviously just another impulsively chosen order that makes no sense because the plot says so. Also, why would he know about Cadence? She is a new princess of love who has a different race of ponies (in a kingdom) who he hasn't prayed upon (and might not know about). At least smash or cover up the Windows or references to Twilight if you are choosing this plan, an escape plan isn't much of an escape if you leave the important details just lying around. So yeah, the princesses are dumb, control all the decisions and don't even do that much, though they do sure like talking, so at least no one will be left behind on their dumb and simple plans.
This is trying to be Twilight's story, but well written it is not.
She is not playing to her strengths at all during this episode. Twilight of the Nightmare Moon or Discord arc was an interesting protagonist because she has always been a driven person, who could motivate the others to come along with her to try to save the world, you know, a leader. It seems though that ironically becoming a princess has undone these traits more than it has let them shine. It starts by her being complacent about being a new figurehead, but it also makes her really passive about it. We common folk have to work hard to get our education/skills and to ply our little jobs... It is hard to relate to someone who has had everything handed to her on a silver platter just whine about it this late in the game.. You are supposed to be a leader, you should try to take charge of something, like you have already done so in the past (winter wrap up), because now you don't need anyone to order you around, you can set your own goals.
This is a real problem in regards to Princess Twilight in general. Despite her title, she lacks initiative (she needs Discord to basically highlight the answer in their diary) and drive (she just does whatever the other princesses decide, she doesn't have any plans of her own). She is just a passive puppet who does what she is told, more a drone than a leader. This story, like "Princess Twilight Sparkle" doesn't really explore her leadership and just displays the issue at the start before dropping it for big events going on in the story. Ironically Twilight is the least fit leader than she has ever been in this story, it is only her ability to use Deus Ex machina things with her magical beakers that really save the day. She shouldn't get her own kingdom at the end of this, because she acted in a way that almost got the whole of Equestria stomped on by two monsters who were also her fault.
To use an analogy, she is the plucky peasant who defeated the scary dragon using a supporting team of casters who buffed her to OP levels. The kingdom appointed her a knight, but without a dragon to fight she just sat inside eating pies. When another different dragon shows up (one which grew on all the crusts she left on the messy floor), she got slowly out of her chair and tried to defeat it single handedly, but only after the kingdom had thrown all their remaining money at her to save them. She trades all the kingdom's remaining money for those casters, who quickly find a convenient chest of wands to buff her up again to save the day again, hooray! Not only that the wands gave her a new palace and the king says to the old lord of the place (assuming that Twi now owns ponyville) "she has a castle here now...so I guess you don't control these lands now I guess... lol".
So yeah. Twilight no longer really fits the role of protagonist like she used to. Her story isn't that great, she basically just acts as a person around which the plot is made, rather than one who seems to be forcing the plot forward. In most stories we follow a 'hero' someone who has the drive and ability to change the world... in this story we follow almost the opposite of that, a princess with great abilities, waste them. She is supercharged to crazy levels but she hides from the problem until confrontation is the only real course and in the end she gives up everything for a pathetic short term goal. I am not saying that strictly speaking her actions don't make sense... only that the tone of the story and who she is doesn't seem to jive very well together into a cohesive story that people would actually want to watch. I mean it's still Twilight, it's still equestria about to be doomed... but ehhh. The people of his place aren't that important and Twilight doesn't do things because she wants to, she does them because she's ordered too... I just don't get why watching someone follow orders and make choices that "have" to end in a happy ending is a good story...
Then we come onto Tirak. I don't really have much to say about him. He is a bad guy who gets crazy powerful and threatening... He doesn't actually crossover with the other characters much. He seems to just be on a vacation tour around Equestria reaving the snot out of everyone. Tirak mostly only plays into Discord's story and the big fight at the end. Which in the end, is still better than Sombra, both might just be distant, implied danger to the main cast, but at least Tirak did stuff and he was intimidating. I still prefer villains who have chemistry with the rest of the cast, but sometimes you can have just a simple bad guy and have him do bad guy stuff... Simple but not too bad.
So lastly we come onto Discord, I liked his arc the most of all the 'reformed' key people. It wasn't very complex, he's tempted with power, helps out a bit and eventually gets betrayed. It's simple... he is a bit dumb, but at least it is more cohesive than Twilight's figurehead position arc or erm... taking orders? Discord doesn't really have the charm he once did, only really teleporting about and doing silly stuff at the start. Even when he has full reign he just stands around watching Tirek. Discord is not an interesting character because he is dumb and boring. He loved chaos, a free spirit, now he loves being bossed around, lovely. I don't have much to say on his arc really. It was simple and forced... why did Tirak give him the necklace (if you are about to betray someone you don't really need to care if you are in their good books)? Well because the plot says so. Why didn't Discord just freelance around causing his own kind of mischief? Or expect the inevitable power struggle? Because he's dumb and the plot says so.
Lastly... I guess I should cover what I missed.
The songs were pretty generic... not even catchy. Just sung conversations or morals. I didn't really care for either really. Just singing something randomly doesn't really change how it feels to me. I actually don't like the one at the start because singing takes a while and took a whole lot longer to say what would have been said anyway via the Princesses interacting normally. I would actually prefer if they had just tried to make the interaction more complex rather than more flashy. The ending song was ok, mostly just token platitudes like the "success song". I will only say that the metaphor for rainbows are kinda funny when you think how rare and short lived rainbows typically are. Sure they are colourful, but they are also immaterial illusions, it's funny mlp wants to use rainbows (beyond toys) as a metaphor for what they are going for.
The fight scene was... a lot of flashy effects. It didn't really focus much on how the characters feel, because it was just goodie vs baddie. It was flashy but lacking substance. Both of them were mostly invulnerable, making each blow... uneventful until (if they ever did, at the writer's discretion) it finally does matter.
The rainbow power and build up to it was clunky. I don't really care for it. The scene where Twilight just goes through what happened before is pretty underwhelming. The context of a safe room far from trouble or other people doesn't really help with communicating these friendship stories and the pattern between them. Twilight: "Your element is generosity" *reads script* "and you still were that after she was mean" Rarity: "yup". Eh, fulfilling the box doesn't mean that much implicitly to me, it's just an arbitrary rule set that gives huge powers. Again, making friends means you can rely on them, that's a real chance of friendship manifesting in a real/meaningful way. Reaching 200 friends on facebook is sort of the same (200 people had to accept your friend requests after all), but gaining superpowers from that is just arbitrary.
The dignitaries were kinda forgotten... or not important. It could've been better, played a bit into Equestria's foreign ties and allies in times of need.
The loss of the library wasn't played up very well.. It feels a bit of shame to blast it and not really have the characters say much about its loss... because... OMG another crystal palace has appeared in it's place! ehhh... it's just shiny and colourful. It's just trying to accommodate for something.
All in all, this finale reminded me a lot of the star wars prequels. Both have either: 1. Big flashy battles, which have a lot of work put into them, but not much emotional stakes in them. 2. Dialogue scenes that mostly are just people standing and talking. Both have plots that don't make much sense beyond their own internal childish logic. Both have great problems with assigning a proper protagonist This episode is mostly just about big amounts of magic flowing around our boring princesses and beasts, our two main characters (Discord & Twilight) are just walkovers, bland everymen who do what the plot needs them to do. If we subjugate our characters to the plinkett test (tell me about the characters without saying what they do, what they look like and what their job is), when using this finale as the only source material, I think you would be hard pressed to come up with anything. Let's see.. erm.. Tirek is a erm.. a cold calculating egoist? Twilight is erm.. a princess? No wait that's her job. Erm. She is very obedient and passive? Celestia is very, erm, she erm, likes the throne room?
As I have always said, friendship was best shown in the slice of life stories, where the stories were between people on a common grounded level. "Friendship is magic" has always been a shallow lie when the magic aspect comes in. Friendship is the relationship between two characters, not just a tool to unlock ultimate power via dues ex machina. I have never cared for the elements of harmony or the keys and having stepped the game to this level, how are they going to top that next season? Ironically of all the 'saving the world' stories, Dragonshy is still one of the most grounded in actual friendship of all of them. It's not the greatest episode, but without the elements, the ending was way more meaningful because it spoke more to me about Fluttershy's solidarity for her friends than the biggest dumbest rainbow powers you can throw at me.
In the end, this finale is one of the biggest (in scale) 'saving the world' two parters, its sights are set on handling all the ponies magic vs all the alicorn's magic, the only players are the Princesses, Tirek and Discord. The common pony, aka the rest of the cast, are just pawns in this giant chess game, if they remembered at all. This show wants to talk about friendship, but it is so engrossed in making Twilight a person who has all the superpowers and not a Mary Sue (by being passive and awkward about her powers), that she comes across as a Mary Sue who has no right to her powers, which is ironically one of the least likable Mary Sues out there.

Tigers' injury bug extends to catching corps
Tigers' injury bug extends to catching corps
Gerald Laird tweaked his right hamstring while legging out a ground ball in the sixth inning of Friday night's 9-4 loss to the Yankees, and although he said he's feeling better, Laird won't be available until at least Tuesday.
And Alex Avila -- out of Friday's lineup for precautionary reasons after a foul ball off his facemask on Thursday drew blood and made him woozy -- unexpectedly woke up with tightness in his right hamstring as well.
"I woke up this morning and just didn't feel right," said Avila, who was originally in Saturday's starting lineup, batting sixth and catching. "Coming in today, doing all the normal stuff I do to get ready for the game, I started to do some running and stuff and just couldn't. I was afraid that I was going to really hurt myself. I really won't be any good right now. At least today."
Avila said he had no idea when the injury happened or how he could have hurt himself. He said he's never had issues with the hamstring in his career and said he was feeling completely fine after Friday night's game.
Tigers head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said he even looked at tape of Friday's game and didn't see anything that might have caused the injury. Given the Tigers' recent injury history, there was only one way for Avila to describe the possible cause.
"It is bad luck, basically," Avila said. "Certain teams, a handful of teams, go through it every single year. Right now, we're going through it. It's frustrating because I can't place a time, or when it happened."
Having just received the news, manager Jim Leyland was scrambling to put together a new lineup without Avila during his pregame media session. He settled on Santos batting ninth and behind the plate.
With the numerous injuries plaguing the Tigers, infielder Ramon Santiago was the only positional player available off the bench on Saturday.
"I've never seen it within a week of each other, like five or six guys go down that are on your roster that play a lot," Laird said. "It's definitely frustrating, and the most frustrating part about it is it's coming at a time when we're not playing our best baseball."

Deep Cheep
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Retrieved from "https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Deep_Cheep&oldid=2325319"
Ads keep the MarioWiki independent and free :)
Deep Cheeps[1] (originally parsed Deep-Cheeps[2]) are a special variety of Cheep Cheeps that are first found in New Super Mario Bros. They appear to be regular Cheep Cheeps, except for the fact that these creatures are green and will actively chase Mario or Luigi in underwater levels depending on the direction they swim in. Deep Cheeps will only give up pursuing Mario or Luigi provided the latter ones swim behind and past the fish foes.
Deep Cheeps can be confused with the green Cheep Cheeps from Super Mario Bros. 3 and Mr. Kipper from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Despite this, Deep Cheeps have a unique characteristic - that is, swimming in the direction of the player character with an angered expression.
Super Mario series[edit]
New Super Mario Bros.[edit]
In New Super Mario Bros., Deep Cheeps and their larger variants, the Big Deep Cheeps, only show up in World 6-5. They chase Mario or Luigi until the heroes swim away.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Deep Cheeps are slightly more common. One appears in World 1-4 along with a Big Deep Cheep. If Mario and co. keep staying in the area, another pair of green fish enemies appears. Deep Cheeps can also be encountered in the second part of World 8-4.
In this game, their lips have become pink, like those of a Cheep Cheep's, rather than keeping the red-orange colored lips they and Cheep Cheeps previously had in New Super Mario Bros. Their dorsal fins and tails have also become yellow, as opposed to white. There is a more relentless enemy similar to Deep Cheep known as Spiny Cheep Cheep.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
Deep Cheeps reappear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, where nothing has changed about their behavior and appearance since New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Deep Cheeps first appear in World Mushroom-2.
New Super Luigi U[edit]
Though Deep Cheeps did not appear in New Super Mario Bros. U (despite them receiving official artwork for that game), they still appear in New Super Luigi U, behaving the same as in previous games. Their only appearance is in Cheep Chomp Chase.
Mario Party 9[edit]In Mario Party 9, a Deep Cheep can be seen swimming around Blooper Beach. It jumps out of the water at various intervals and may even jump over the player's vehicle. It has no effect on the gameplay.
Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
Deep Cheep reappears in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. They aesthetically replace green Cheep Cheeps and Blurps in the New Super Mario Bros. U style, except that they no longer chase the player due to the green Cheep Cheeps and the Blurps from other styles not being able to chase Mario. Furthermore, the voice heard when placing Deep Cheeps onto the course just calls them Cheep Cheeps.

A Home For Theatre Companies
New Diorama is the first ever companies' theatre: a theatre exclusively dedicated to the development of emerging theatre ensembles.
Working with the best groups from all over the UK, New Diorama help grow both the artist work and the organisational skills of each group we programme.
The programme is our most ambitious to date. When we opened five years ago we wanted to find ways of overcoming the many challenges and hurdles early-career theatre companies face. Our new programme tackles many of these issues head on, finding new solutions to old problems and presenting completely new ideas that we're proud to be pioneering for the first time.
We've broken it up into three areas.
We're always on the look-out for the best new groups that we can programme and begin a relationship with. We've devised a whole host of ways that theatre companies from across the UK who we've never worked with before can begin talking to us.
For the theatre companies we are already supporting we have worked hard to create a whole host of new initiatives, funds and opportunities to support their work.
And, to deliver all this work, we're partnering with theatres from across the UK. Our national footprint has never been greater and over the next few years, we'll be bringing work to London that, without our support, would never be able to perform in the capital.

text: I have a question about the house I bought and the piping for the boiler system. Coming into the boiler is 1/2 feeding the baseboards is 3/4 and there is some 1 inch I am assuming in there in certain spots. I want to know if everything should be 3/4? I am having trouble on getting air out of the system and thought this maybe causing the issue with all the different piping in the system. The sound of water rushing in the pipes is driving me nuts. Also can I re pipe everything with pex and just have copper at the baseboards? Thanks for any help you can provide on this.
