Scientists observe how superconducting nanowires lose resistance-free state
Duke University
Scientists observe how superconducting nanowires lose resistance-free state
Even with today's invisibility cloaks, people can't walk through walls. But, when paired together, millions of electrons can.
The electrons perform this trick, called macroscopic quantum tunneling, when they pair up and move into a region of space that is normally off-limits under the laws of classical mechanics. The problem is that as millions of electrons collectively move through a superconducting nanowire, they use energy and give off heat.
The heat can build, transforming sections of the wire into a non-superconducting state. The process, called a phase slip, adds resistance to an electrical system and has implications for designing new nano-scale superconductors.
Now, scientists have observed individual phase slips in aluminum nanowires and characterized the nature and temperature at which they occur. This information could help scientists remove phase slips from nano-scale systems, which could lead to more reliable nanowires and more efficient nano-electronics, said Duke physicist Albert Chang.
The results appeared online Sept. 21 in Physical Review Letters.
The macroscopic quantum tunneling effect was first observed in a system called a Josephson junction. This device has a thin insulating layer connecting two superconductors, which are several nanometers wide and have a three-dimensional shape.
To study the tunneling and phase slips in a simpler system, however, Chang and his colleagues used individual, one-dimensional nanowires made of aluminum. The new observations are "arguably the first convincing demonstration of tunneling of millions of electrons in one-dimensional superconducting nanowires," said Chang, who led the study.
In the experiment, the wires ranged in length from 1.5 to 10 micrometers, with widths from five to 10 nanometers. Chang cooled the wires to a temperature close to absolute zero, roughly 1 degree Kelvin or -458 degrees Fahrenheit.
At this temperature, a metal's crystal lattice vibrates in a way that allows electrons to overcome their negative repulsion of one other. The electrons make pairs and electric current flows essentially resistance-free, forming a superconductor.
The electron pairs move together in a path in a quantum-mechanical space, which resembles the curled cord of an old phone. On their way around the path, all of the electrons have to scale a barrier or a wall. Moving past this wall collectively keeps the electrons paired and the superconducting current stable.
But, the collective effort takes energy and gives off heat. With successive scaling attempts, the heat builds, causing a section of the wire to experience a phase slip from a superconducting to a non-superconducting state.
To pinpoint precisely how phase slips happen, Chang varied the temperatures and amount of current run through the aluminum nanowires.
The experiments show that at higher temperatures, roughly 1.5 degrees Kelvin and close to the critical temperature where the wires naturally become non-superconducting, the electrons have enough energy to move over the wall that keeps the electrons paired and the superconducting current stable.
In contrast, the electrons in the nanowires cooled to less than 1 degree Kelvin do not have the energy to scale the wall. Instead, the electrons tunnel, or go through the wall together, all at once, said Duke physicist Gleb Finkelstein, one of Chang's collaborators.
The experiments also show that at the relatively higher temperatures, individual jumps over the wall don't create enough heat to cause a breakdown in superconductivity. But multiple jumps do.
At the lowest temperatures, however, the paired electrons only need to experience one successful attempt at the wall, either over or through it, to create enough heat to slip in phase and break the superconducting state.
Studying the electrons' behavior at specific temperatures provides scientists with information to build ultra-thin superconducting wires that might not have phase slips. Chang said the improved wires could soon play a role in ultra-miniaturized electrical components for ultra-miniaturized electronics, such as the quantum bit, used in a quantum computer.

From my mailbox: Comments that are more thoughtful than most comments from human readers
I just had some fun delving into the dark underbelly of the blogging world, thanks to this email that showed up in my mailbox:
Greetings Frederic,
My name is Jason Thompson and today is the official release of my latest software creation, known as Blog Commentator. I like to check the latest tech news at your site, and we share some of the same tastes, so I thought you might like what I'm doing.
Blog Commentator is a revolutionary new software that allows webmasters to automate the promotion of their sites by commenting on relevant blog entries. It is revolutionary because it can leave "human-like" comments (assuring that they aren't deleted) on auto-pilot.
Really – these auto-generated comments are more thoughtful than most comments from human readers!
It is a welcome change amongst the numerous comment spamming services, and if you want to see more, the website is (redacted
Thanks for your time,
Jason Thompson
At first I was convinced that this was only an early April fool's joke, after all, it reads like badly written press release material and this line is pretty funny: "These auto-generated comments are more thoughtful than most comments from human readers!"
I have seen my share of idiotic comments here and elsewhere, but it prompted me to take a dive into the world of the blogosphere I have probably naively ignored for too long. What I found was the promised automatic commenting software, bad sales pitches, fake testimonials, a bot for StumbleUpon (is your website hungry for visitors), and a world where spam is a good world and everything seems to cost $97 for some reason.
I feel dirty now just for looking at this. There is so much more I could say about this stuff…

Professional Standards
A REALTOR® is more than a real estate agent; REALTORS® have training in ethics for both their dealings with the public and with the real estate community. The REALTOR® Code of Ethics is the cornerstone of the National Association of REALTORS® ethics training. It guides REALTORS® and also shows the public the level of commitment, education and dedication to their profession that each member of NAR possesses.
If you believe that a REALTOR® has violated one or more articles of the Code of Ethics, you can file an ethics complaint alleging a violation(s) through the local association of REALTORS® where the REALTOR® holds membership or participates in a multiple listing service owned/operated by a REALTOR® association You may search for a member's local affiliation here.
In addition, REALTORS® agree as a condition of membership to arbitrate contractual disputes and specific non-contractual disputes as provided for in Article 17 of the NAR Code of Ethics. If you have a contractual dispute with another REALTOR®, you can file a request for arbitration of that dispute. The appropriate local association where the request would be filed depends on where the other REALTOR® holds association membership and/or participates in MLS. You should contact your local association for more information.
Click here for quick access to several resources to help you understand what filing and processing an ethics complaint and arbitration request entails, and the general process you can expect when filing an ethics complaint or arbitration request with a local association of REALTORS®. Check with the local association of REALTORS® to ensure you have the proper forms required by that association.
In rare instances, ethics complaints and arbitration requests are processed by the NC Association of REALTORS® rather than a local association of REALTORS®. Such complaints and requests are handled in accordance with the same procedures, with a few modifications. If your ethics complaint or arbitration request is processed by NC REALTORS®, the Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual outlines the process. Questions about ethics complaints and arbitration requests handled by NC REALTORS® should be directed to the NC REALTORS® Legal Department at (800) 443-9956.
Professional Standards Courses
2018 Professional Standards Training Dates:
Check back in early 2018 for course information.
Professional Standards Training educates members in the areas of grievance, ethics, arbitration and REALTOR® Code of Ethics. If you serve on a Grievance Committee, Professional Standards Committee or are a Board of Directors member at the local or state level, you may be required to take Professional Standards Training.
The NC REALTORS® Professional Standards Training will cover the foundation of the Professional Standards process and the latest changes to the Code of Ethics. The class will provide advanced training on how to write a quality Findings of Fact and high-level training for Hearing Panel Chairpersons.
The Professional Standards Training course also satisfies NAR's Code of Ethics requirement.
Code of Ethics Requirements
REALTORS® are required to complete ethics training of no less than 2 hours, 30 minutes of instructional time within each four-year cycle. The training must meet specific learning objectives and criteria established by the National Association of REALTORS®.
The current four-year cycle will end Dec. 31, 2016.
Training may be completed through local REALTOR® associations or through another method, such as home study, correspondence, classroom courses, or online courses.
To learn more about the REALTOR® Code of Ethics requirement, visit realtor.org.

Unanswered: Removing Duplicated Filter Values in Reporting Services...
We are using Reporting Services to design and deliver reports. We have a report that we need to filter via Client, however the filter populates with multiple instances of the same client.
We are pulling in the values for the filter from a dataset.
We have users that are associated with clients. So multiple users have the same client. In this filter drop-down when it populates from the dataset it is populating the same client multiple times based upon how many users are associated with that client. All we need is each client a single time. We can do this by creating another dataset, but we would like to do it with the current dataset instead of making a trip back to the server. Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

"Great Production of a Fascinating Story."
The reasons I bought this title was that it popped up on the screen while I was searching for one of Franz Kafka's books. I count myself very lucky that I stumbled upon it.
It tells the story of a 15 year old boy who runs away from home. Although there is endless scope in what could lie in front of him the book mainly deals with the complicated past of the boy and those around him. I found the story fascinating, compelling, surreal and endlessly enjoyable.
The production seems perfect to me. Even though I am listening to the voice of an adult his tone and pace match the writers style to convince me; at every corner, that it is the story of a 15 year old boy. Yes a 15 year old boy without much childhood left, thrown into a strange world of older people and there difficult pasts, but a 15 year old none-the-less. Indeed, the toughest 15 year old in the world.
"Murakami at his best"
Unmissable for any Murakami fan, beautifully read, it is a must have. It is the only one where I feel the narration does the book justice.
"surreal as ever"
I find Murakami a bit hit and miss sometimes captivating and sometimes a little dull. This novel has elements of both but is as ever worth the work to get through. Great story and characters that draw you into their world and make you want to see it through.
"Simply Wonderful"
Kafka on the Shore is a book of Joy, Ease and Lightness. It is deep, meaningful, witty and intelligent. Above all, the narrators are simply wonderful. The voices are hypnotic and tender, they are clear and concise. Kafka on the Shore is an unforgetable piece of storytelling - an audiobook of the highest quality.
"My first Murakami"
Having never read any of the Murakami oeuvre, I decided to go for an audiobook and what a pleasant surprise! The narration is excellent. Indeed, it made me then go and purchase 'hard copy' A Wild Sheep Chase... with the phenomenon of hearing the Kafka On The Shore narration in this novel. Both the audiobook and the novel are superb.
"Not my cup of tea"
A story with mystical themes, with two stories being told alongside each other in alternating chapters. I found the story of the 15 year old tedious, he didn't feel like a teenager. This is the first of this author I've read and I don't think it's for me. I did read that it makes more sense if you've read Norwegian Wood and other novels by the author. Sadly I'm glad it's over.
"My first Murakami (but not my last)"
I've not read the print version of this edition which is probably just as well as I listen on my commute and driving and reading are not recommended.
I found this story to be magical in it's subject, the way it drew me in to know what was happening, the way things, events, coincidences were left unexplained. I found the idea of cats that talk to be lovely and the way the death of the father engineered to be so neat (but how???) (well never mind that.... it served the purpose).
It's difficult to say which character was my favourite, when a particular character was speaking that was my favourite as I was intimately bound up in the story and the progression of the narrative, however on balance I think Mr Nakata to be enchanting but that's probably more a result of his cat communication. Even the subsidiary characters are there for a good reason, all of them with wisdom to dispense.
I couldn't manage all of this in one sitting. It's a dense book with multiwoven strands that needs thinking about afterwards (and three weeks later I'm still thinking about it).
This was my first Murakami, I think it was so well written and had such an effect on me that I want to save future ones for when I have time to really listen, concentrate, analyse and just plain think about the book. Murakami seems to be, from this one exposure, a sumptuous feast of a writer that needs multiple visits to the table.
"Surreal and fascinating"
I loved this book. It's my first by this author and I will definitely look for more titles by him. The storyline was maintained, with some pauses and roundabouts along the way but they only added to the mystery. This might be called a psychological drama with science fiction/fantasy overtones, set in the real and gritty world of modern Japan, with a seasoning of old folk tales and a slight touch of mysticism. Allow yourself to go with the flow and enjoy to the end.
Again, the reader was spectacular - all accents and characters were well-defined and added immensely to my enjoyment.
"Loved it!"
My first audiobook ever! Really recommend Audible app. The first book you get free and then you can continue listening to your fav books by paying around £8-9per a book. The quality of the recording is excellent!
So, Kafka on the shore... Amazing writing, or I'd add translation. Mysterious characters, true love and bizarre events are blended together and you get a wonderful book to read (or listen) during the summer. #HarukiMurakamu# I'd thank people who actually were reading the story, it was considerably well paced with certain intonation and pauses. Great job!
Probably the best book I've ever read.
It took a little bit of getting used to but once I was in the flow I loved every minute.
I read the text as I listened to the audio book
A wonderful experience
My 6th Murakami Novel now - it's even overtaken Norwegian Wood as my favorite book ever - something I hadn't thought possible

For My Brother
You live inside my wall and I
I reach back, hit you harder than God falls
Christ amen, amen, amen
You're such a line to break and
I'm so scared to make a fucking mistake in the end
But I just want to be happy again
Until it all falls down
And where does that leave me?
With things, things, I've got so many things to say
And with a broken heart and a straight face
I'm saying, "brother, help me"
(Brother, would you help me)
It's just a natural phase that I
I go through and then it's taken away
And then bam! bam! I'm fixed
(I'm fixed, I'm fixed, I'm fixed)
But I'm in another place to be where I
I can't sleep without the thought of me being so
So damn sick
(But I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick)
So take this song, take this song away
Until it all falls down
And where does that leave me?
With things, things, I've got so many things to say
And with a broken heart and a straight face
And he always said, "Reach for the girl
Reach for the girl and hold her close
Believe you can shine when you're silver
And I promise you gold, I promise you gold
And whenever you're dark inside, don't let go
Remember there's rain, and there's candy
And Christmasy winter snow (the snow, the snow)
And remember I love you the same
And I'll strange your pain"
And he tells me to sing, so I sing
And I sing for my brother who keeps me sane
And tells me, "Everything will be OK"
I'm alone
I'm never alone
No, I'm never alone
I'm not alone
(I'm not alone)
Ya-eh-ya-eh-ya-eh-yaThe wind will drag me down in the end
And the wind
Three years swimming straight upstream
Then take a fast ravine that for
Who never cared to let me in
And write my name on friend
If you would take a pen
It would simply say everything

Basically i installed wine and then typed wine as my user. then after a problem occured i threw open SU privilages and ran wine, and the program worked fine..
However now when i want to play games as my normal user i get this error:
Well that just about happens everywhere when running as a normal user. So what i think happened is i killed perhaps my user config for wine maybe? and the drive hasnt been allocated... hence it cant access it? But at the same time i dont know where the configs are except where i found the wine installation folder somewhere around etc/wine or something (dunno right now).Code:
Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible.
Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system" is not accessible.
Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/skythra/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Gravity/RagnarokOnline', starting in the Windows directory.
wine: cannot open (null)
Any help is really appreciated!!!

There's so much to gain from attending an EdCamp, it can be overwhelming! The great part about an EdCamp experience is the sharing that goes on - not just in the sessions but before, during and after as well! We've created a handy infographic to help you get the most out of your EdCamp Forsyth experience. It'll help you get organized and get connected!

EdCamp Forsyth 2016 date change
We've run into a bit of a scheduling issue. The Forsyth County Technology Fair is traditionally hosted on the last weekend in January, in preparation for the State Technology Fair in March. When we started planning EdCamp Forsyth, Tech Fair hadn't yet been put on our district's master calendar, so we overlooked it.
As large a district as we are, we felt it would undermine both events to host them on the same day. Therefore, EdCamp Forsyth has been moved to the next weekend:
Saturday, February 6, 2016
It's not too detrimental a change as we are still in the planning stages, and we haven't officially opened registration yet. But now this one's set in stone, so put it on your calendars!
Here we go!
The EdCamp movement has been floating around education for past several years, and there are several folks here in Forsyth County, GA, who have had our eye on doing one. Most of us are Instructional Technology Specialists, and as part of our job function, we're called in to assist with professional development. Often, one of the most well-received and effective elements of professional development is when colleagues can simply get together and chat - share lessons and strategies, collaborate on upcoming projects, discuss instructional challenges, etc.
Why not capitalize on that by having our professional development do that the entire time? So we're happy to announce the establishment of the (hopefully 1st annual) EdCamp Forsyth on
Saturday, January 30, 2016
All educators are invited to attend at no charge, and we especially invite educators from outside our district - while it's great to learn from your peers, there's even more to be learned from an outside perspective.
The event is being hosted by Lambert High School, the newest of Forsyth County School's high schools. Thanks for letting us use your campus, guys!

Restore-Adapt-Mitigate: Responding to Climate Change through Coastal Habitat Restoration
Restore-Adapt-Mitigate: Responding to Climate Change through Coastal Habitat Restoration, a new study released by Restore America's Estuaries on April 19, 2012, for the first time links ecologically important coastal habitat restoration with adaptation and mitigation strategies as a way to reduce the impacts of ongoing global climate change. The report demonstrates that coastal wetland restoration--everything from restoring salt marshes, to protecting mangroves, and creating new coastal wetlands--can be an integral part of public and private initiatives to combat climate change.
Jobs & Dollars: Big Returns from Coastal Habitat Restoration
A landmark report released September 14, 2011, shows that coasts and estuaries are not only essential to the nation's economy, but that investments in coastal habitat restoration produce jobs in a cash-strapped, job-starved economy at a higher rate than many other sectors, including oil and gas, road infrastructure, and green building retrofit projects.

Measuring and Monitoring the Economic Effects of Habitat Restoration: A Summary of a NOAA Blue Ribbon Panel
Restoring degraded marine and coastal habitat is critical if America's coasts and oceans are to reach their economic and ecological potential. Because the focus of NOAA's restoration efforts has been on restoring the ecosystem functions of degraded and damaged habitats, the agency has used biological and ecological metrics to measure the succcess of restoration efforts. Now, there is new interest at NOAA and other restoration agencies to demonstrate how restoration projects affect local economies and the overall economic well-being of the country. The following is a report prepared in May 2010 that sets out ways and means of determining those economic impacts.Read more...NOAA_RAE_BRP_Estuary_Economics.pdf

A National Strategy
A National Strategy provides a framework for restoring function to coastal and estuarine habitat. It seeks to ensure that restoration priorities are established, diverse programs are coordinated to maximize benefits, and public expectations are both established and met. It also supports the goal of restoring one million acres of estuarine habitat by 2010 as set forth in the Estuary Restoration Act of 2000, and it can be applied to improve the effectiveness of restoration efforts conducted under any program.

The Economic Value of Coasts & Estuaries
From the Executive Summary of The Economic and Market Value of Coasts and Estuaries: What's At Stake? by Linwood Pendleton
Our nation was built from the coast. Americans, like people around the world, are drawn to the coast because of its beauty, productivity, and because our coasts are gateways to the world. The coast nurtures our frontier spirit, our need for outdoor recreation, and the constant American appetite for sweeping ocean views and quiet bayfront vistas. Coasts, coastal oceans, and estuaries are essential to ocean fisheries and aquaculture. Coasts and their waters also generate oxygen, sequester carbon dioxide, and provide habitat to plants and animals both marine and terrestrial.
Human Dimensions
In February, 2006 Restore America's Estuaries (RAE) and the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) commissioned a pilot study with volunteers from three Restore America's Estuaries member organizations, Tampa Bay Watch (FL), Save San Francisco Bay Association (CA), and Galveston Bay Foundation (TX). The goal of the study was to begin to explore if or how volunteering in an environmental context relates to conservation behaviors when not engaged in volunteering.
Principles of Estuarine Habitat Restoration
The report is a collaboration and celebration - collaboration of scientists and field practitioners working together to define the best practices, and celebration of the contributors of so many people striving to restore health to our nation's estuaries. Many scientists and practitioners have invested enormous time, talent and resources to advance the state-of-the-art of estuarine habitat restoration.
Federal Funding Guide
The Federal Funding Guide is a repository of information about federal programs that provide restoration project funding throughout the country and for a wide array of habitat, activity and recipient types. The funding guide provides a quick, comprehensive and accessible review of the often hidden federal funds that may be used to implement on-the-ground habitat restoration projects. Its design and layout provide users with easy access to critical information about funding and eligibility. In the Federal Funding Documents opportunities are listed in alphabetical order by Department.

Lovehoney Oh! Rabbit Silicone Rabbit Vibrator
My very first orgasm
Reviewed: 29 September 2016 by Ruth123, a Straight Single Female
This was my very first sex toy. I was a little apprehensive about using a toy, but I was not disappointed!
I've had this toy for months and it has not failed once to make me orgasm.
The product is smooth and a decent size. It's easy to use with or without lube. You just press the button to whichever setting you like and you're off!
You are able to start off light and get harder or try each pattern. This toy also has a rotation button, which I did not use much, but no faults whatsoever.
- Pros
- Never fails to make me orgasm.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- 10/10.

First rabbit
Reviewed: 25 September 2016 by Funlovingcouple09, a Straight Married Male
We ordered this and when it came in the post it was really well packaged in a discreet box.
You wouldn't know where it had come from. When we opened it up that night the wife was quite nervous as this was our first toy we had bought and used, but it didn't take long for things to get going, and the wife came within minutes of using it.
Even though we have bought other products since, she still likes using it now.
- Pros
- Everything.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- First-time toy and great fun.

The best vibrator I have ever owned
Reviewed: 01 July 2016 by EveC, a Straight Going Steady Female
I love this rabbit, it is my favourite sex toy ever!
The silicone is really smooth and lovely to touch, and I like the slightly stylised "realistic" aspect of it. There are some nodules on the base of the "head" which add extra stimulation.
There are three aspects to this vibrator, the vibrating ears, a rotating shaft and rotating beads to stimulate the entrance of the vagina. The ears are the best thing about this product - strong vibrations with perfect ear placement to get the clitoris. I sometimes turn the toy upside down to just use the ears, as they can be controlled separately to the shaft. The rotating shaft is also great when you want some penetration. However, I find the beads a little too wide and can stretch me uncomfortably.
Apart from that, this toy is perfect. Just the right size and the stimulation is perfect. It can make me orgasm in about 2 minutes. I'm addicted. I can't praise it highly enough.
- Pros
- Everything!
- Cons
- The beads are a little too wide and can be uncomfortable.
- Bottom line
- The best vibrator ever!
- Was this review helpful to you? Yes
Never fails
Reviewed: 07 May 2016 by MrsS30, a Straight Married Female
I've had quite a few rabbits, but this one is my favourite.
It is lovely and soft to the touch, looks good, and never fails to deliver.
It is the perfect size for me, and very powerful. I can only stand the rabbit part on the lowest setting but hubby likes to crank it up to tease. Perfect for a quickie orgasm or prolonged teasing.
Would definitely recommend.
- Pros
- Soft silicone. Size.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Fantastic.

A grown up bibrator
Reviewed: 26 February 2016 by WazNaz, a Straight Engaged Male
Myself and the Mrs have tried a few vibrators on her over the year, from the usual 'mini bullets', which, halfway through play when it starts to get fun, you find yourself fumbling trying to keep hold of it in all the wetness, to the 5-6" straight plasticones which she no longer liked.
With this we were hoping for the big insertable length with vibration on the inside as well as the outside, and it delivered, although we find it a toy I use on her rather than her on herself. I should note the Mrs didn't like the rotating bead section and a lot of lube is needed on the swivelling head section to avoid soreness.
- Pros
- Great awesomely strong vibrations, does G-spot and clit.
- Cons
- She didn't like bead roller midshaft or the overall weight of it.
- Bottom line
- Great toy to add to your collection, every girl should have one.

Human Behavior and the Social Environment, 5/e, explores, compares, and contrasts both traditional and alternative models in examining human behavior and the social environment.
This text is part of the Connecting Core Competencies Series, designed to guide students in becoming skilled at the Council on Social Work's core competencies. Each chapter reflects and integrates the latest CSWE competency standards (EPAS). End-of-chapter assessment reinforces this integration, and MySocialWorkLab provides activites and supports the mastery of CSWE's core competencies through activities, tests, an extensive library of videos and cases, and much more.
In this iteration, Schriver (U. of Arkansas-Fayetteville) addresses the issue of how social workers may boost their relevance in the rapidly evolving domestic and global social environment. His strategy is to deconstruct the field so as to give the social environment parity with human behavior<-->a decided paradigm shift; integrate theory with policy/practice concerns; and invoke the historical focus of social work on poverty reduction. Includes excerpts from the second (1998) and first (1995) edition prefaces, a series of "illustrative readings," and an Internet search guide. Annotation c.

A while back we saw this BlackBerry Tag commercial hit YouTube, and now a few more have arrived on the channel as well. They all take on different aspects of BlackBerry Tag like sharing games, photos and music. While all of the spots are a bit on the campy side, I do find them quite amusing. It's doubtful these will be running anywhere mainstream at all (if you see them let us know) but you can check them all out here. Keep reading for more videos, then let us know what you think of them in the comments.

I think they're kind of funny. Cheesy, quirky, weird, cringeworthy and a little embarrassing, but I think RIM is doing their best not to take themselves seriously. I like the 80s retro music. :-) Perhaps they're targeting the foreign market with these ads?
Why does RIM have so much trouble creating and implementing a credible marketing plan? Or have they just given up and hired some kids at minimum wage to run the company (into the ground...)?
I wish they'd stop wasting time on features nobody gives a shit about, and focus instead of bringing proper IMAP implementations to BIS, full gmail support to BIS, and bring full Exchange support to BIS.
all 3 were horrible. I could do without ever seeing/hearing "Just Taaaaap" again.

Flying high in the Aero-space age
In the world of Audi, the badge that denotes some extra ability in the car it's applied to is "quattro".
At Volvo, a "T" prefix is the clue that there's something extra going on under the bonnet. And sticking with the Scandinavians, when it comes to Saab the magic word is "Aero".
The first Saab to bear the Aero tag was the very desirable 900 Aero, with its turbocharged engine, body-kit and black, stealth-bomber looks.
It was a great car too, given that torque-steer and tramlining from the front end were part and parcel of any moderately powered front-wheel-drive chassis.
Obviously that's not good enough for modern times but Saab's problems were running a bit deeper than that when the all-new 9-3 was launched late in 2002.
The consensus was that the company had lost its way and been compromised by falling into General Motors' hands.
There was also criticism that the products had lost that Saab-ness that had made the brand synonymous with quirky, entertaining cars and had developed into homogenous, one-size-fits-all cars because of GM's model-sharing of platforms.
Into this maelstrom was created the 9-3, which, to the horror of the Saab faithful, was built on a GM floor plan - in this case, the new Vectra platform.
But that's only part of the story, because there was quite a bit of difference engineered into the Saab version.
It was both wider and longer than the Opel Vectra and the Opel's relatively simple rear end gave way to a sophisticated four-link set-up.
Aluminium hub-carriers and some lower suspension members replaced the standard Opel fare, and suddenly you had a chassis with a fair degree of its own identity.
The 9-3 line-up included a base-model called Linear, a couple of mid-spec models called Arc and Vector but the range-topping Aero (which hit the market about six months later) is the most entertaining 9-3 to own and drive.
That's pretty much all down to a rip-snorting engine which, in true Aero tradition, was turbocharged.
It wasn't one of those two-bob-each-way turbos with minimal boost, though. This one blew hard and heavy and rustled up a stirring 155 kW of power from just two litres.
There was a five-speed automatic option but our money would be going to a six-speed manual version, which is simply more fun and matches the nature of the car beautifully.
The engine was meaty and also sweet, with a good ability to rev clean and hard and some serious mid-range urge to ensure the car felt fit and flexible.
The big worry was that the turbo-motor's prodigious power and torque would make the front end unruly; there's some tugging at the steering wheel under full acceleration but it's never as intrusive as you might think. That said, the steering lacks a little feel and feedback but the 9-3 is hardly on its own there.
The Aero had a stiffer suspension, which detracts a little from the ride quality but helps make it more tactile and fun to drive.
The small amount of passive rear-wheel-steering built into the rear end helps with stability and tracking.
It may have looked like a hatchback in profile but the 9-3 was a four-door sedan.
It's not unattractive, either, with a few Saab styling cues to remind you that you're not the owner of a Japanese car. Believe it or not, for those who are traditional Saab buyers, that counts for a whole lot.
Not a cheap car when it was new, the Aero packed in the standard equipment. You can expect air-conditioning (dual zone), remote central-locking, 17-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, a good stereo, leather, powered driver's seat, full electrics and a trip computer.
On the safety front (another Saab stronghold over the years), the Aero was loaded with anti-lock brakes with brake-force distribution, stability control, dual front air-bags, head air-bags, side air-bags, seat-belt pretensioners and traction control.
Need to know
- Saab has lots of experience in building turbocharged engines, but even so, when they're a 2.0-litre engine making this sort of power, they demand servicing. Check the handbook for evidence that servicing hasn't been skipped.
- Make sure all the electrically operated convenience items do their thing properly.
- Test the automatic gearbox to ensure that it picks up gears smoothly from a standing start and doesn't make any noises.
- On manuals, a graunching noise between first and second gears suggests the car has had a tough life.

2 men run away after trying to rob teenage girl
CENTER CITY (WTXF) - Scary moments for two teenage girls in Center City when one of them was attacked by two men who tried to rob her. Turns out, it was the men who ran away empty-handed.
Police say back on Monday, Jan. 2, at 6:15pm, the 15-year-old girl was walking with another 15-year-old girl on the 1700 block of Walnut Street.
That's when two men approached her from behind. The first grabbed her by her shoulders, and the second grabbed her purse.
But there was a brief struggle, and police say "the victim was able to hold onto her purse when the suspects fled and were last seen (running west) on Chancellor Street from 17th Street (to 18th Street). The victim suffered minor scrapes to her hand and knees and nothing was taken during this incident."
The first suspect is described as 18-20 years old, 6 feet tall, with short hair. He was clean-shaven; wearing a hooded sweatshirt that was black, gray, and white; jeans; and blue and orange Nike sneakers.
The second suspect is also described as 18-20 years old and 6 feet tall, but with a medium build. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up over his head, and dark jeans.
If you recognize them or know where they are, you're asked to call 215-686-TIPS (8477), text a tip to PPDTIP (773847), or click here to submit a tip anonymously. Police say all tips will be confidential.

With the progress of time, people have changed the way of finding their lover. So, now, it has become quite practical to take part in online dating. While sitting in your house, you may search for your spouse in your life. In many countries, like America, one out of eight marital relationships is the result of online dating.
How online dating enables you to start marital life–
Many people have observed that spouses, who meet on digital platform, are more satisfied than others, who encountered physically at some place. It happens because of the reason that online daters get chances to express their thoughts more easily. That is why it is simpler for them to have a relationship with the person, who is most compatible and familiar.
Through web-based dating, it is also easy to know the hobbies and interests of a person before starting a relationship. You may filter particular members; whose preferences are almost similar. There're various dating websites, which include members of definite preferences, age, cultural background and location.
Online dating may be best for all those individuals, who are facing difficulties to get first partner in their life. However, you have to ensure that the dater, whom you have chosen, has same interests.
Risk of any breakup–
The possibilities of separation after getting married are never related to whether you have met offline or online. Many people have breakups because of disparities in their circumstances and personalities. However, in a survey, it has been seen that the married spouses, who meet through digital platform, live a quite happier life. Thus, you do not need to be concerned on the risks of having breakups.
So, start your online chatten met vreemden, who seem to be reliable and suited as your spouse.

User review on Maruti Suzuki Ritz written by Mahinder on 20 December 2014
Mahinder's review on Maruti Suzuki Ritz Vxi
Year of Manufacture : 2014 | Driven no. of Kms. : 15000
- Pros: Well proven engine, great mileage and assured good resale value
- Cons: Not much
I was looking for upgrading from small car to bigger hatchback. I checked most of the cars like Swift, Indica Vista and so on. As most of our friends and relatives have Ritz, I decided to go for a alternative. Ritz didn't disappoint me in that matter. With the latest updated interiors like dual tone interiors, dash mounted gear lever elegant design of console, makes you feel like being seated in a premium car.Also 60:40 split rear seat helps to widen the space for luggages. With improved diesel engine we are getting average exceeding 20kmpl.

I admit that I don't think this is great. I still enjoyed it. A lot of it does hold up. The best part is probably the voices. I mean, they're really funny and so appropriate for the cartoon. The animation could be better.
I just feel like this could have been shorter. It's still a pretty original idea. That butt master joke is awesome. I guess there's a lot of ethnic stereotypes in the "Star Wars" series. Not just "The Phantom Menace".

Damn I'm 15 years late with this review... hope I saw this after it came out, but I was usually more interested in the incoming Portal submissions, than the Front Page back then.
Still holds up exceptionally well! The script was certainly clever, though 'banthashit' would've been more appropriate over 'bullshit' lol The artwork isn't top notch, but it looks like time was spent on it, and that's makes up for a lot. Glad you're still with us Tormented-Soul!

Cant believe I missed this gem. A crossover parody of both Star Wars and Seinfeld. Who'dve thought it would work so well XD
Made a long time ago for an internet far, far forgotten.
Thanks for the review, dude.

After initially meeting in the mid 90's in Portugal whilst studying with Cuban composer Leo Brouwer, Argentine Guitarist Luis Orias Diz and Welsh guitarist Adam Khan recorded their first CD "Interludio" in Buenos Aires in 2006 for the Guitar masters label. The disc included Leo Brouwer's complete guitar duo's as well as music by British Composer John W. Duarte and Argentine composer Walter Heinze all of whom had been former teachers of the duo.
Wag duo gave their first performance together the same year at the Mar del Plata guitar festival in Argentina and it was during this trip that they decided to concentrate on the music of Wales and Argentina exclusively and began to research the story of the Welsh settlers in Patagonia and how they built up a community based on their roots in Wales.
The duo have sought out composers from both countries and commissioned them to write and arrange works for guitar duo, to date these have included Stephen Goss who arranged a beautiful set of Welsh and Patagonian folksongs and Dafydd Bullock who wrote a large multi movement work called "Voyage to Patagonia" which is a musical description of the Welsh settlers long and difficult journey from Wales. The duo performs music from all over Argentina including Tango's from Buenos Aires and exciting folk music from the north of the country including works by Astor Piazzolla, Alberto Ginastera,Fernando Millet and Marcelo Coronel.
They made their début as a duo in Lima, Peru, and have gone on to perform extensively throughout Argentina at many important music festivals and events including a concert at the Welsh Chapel in Gaiman which is the originally settling place of the imigrants. The duo have performed many concerts in the UK including at the Welsh Eisteddfod and Monmouth festival in Wales and more recently they have begun giving concerts in Europe including festivals in Germany and France.
Wag duo has appeared on television in Argentina and broadcast live for BBC radio in the UK.

Before we dive into some great garage gym ideas, here's some pointers to help you make the best decisions when it comes to outfitting your gym.
Plan Your Space - Spending some time up front to plan out your space is not only fun, it also helps you make the best decisions on equipment. So before you hunt around for deals on garage gym equipment packages, grab a pencil, paper and tape measure first and draw a scaled down version of your space.
The great thing about planning out your space on pencil and paper is that you can make changes easily and can move equipment pieces around. You'll thank yourself many times over for planning out your space before you invest.
What Are Your Goals? - While thinking about Garage Gym ideas, write down a few of your short term and long term goals. You might find that you favor a particular line of equipment - whether it's all endurance related, strength biased or maybe it's mostly bodyweight movements you want to master. With your goals down in writing you'll be more apt to pursue them as well so spend a little time on this one and be honest with yourself on what you think you will stay with over the long term.
What Is The Ideal Height for My Garage Gym? - Here's one aspect of a space that can really take the wind out of some people's sails when it really doesn't need to. Having an overhead clearance of about 1.8-1.9 times your height is ideal as it opens up the widest variety of exercises. But, if the height of your space measures in at less than that, don't let it stop you. Even in a space with minimal overhead height you can still get a lot done. If you can't get a barbell overhead because of a short ceiling, kettlebells are a great solution. Ingenuity and creativity in your plan will keep your options open. The Concept 2 Rower is the perfect example of an astoundingly effective machine that fits in the smallest of spaces.
Buy in Sets or Kits - Building a Garage Gym a piece at a time can certainly be done, but not every community has a fitness store around the corner with all the pieces you are after. That means you'll most likely be purchasing from an online company. Buying one piece at a time can add substantially to overall shipping costs as you build your gym from the ground up. Instead, consider purchasing equipment packages or sets with free shipping. You'll have to dream just a bit bigger but you'll save those added shipping costs in the long run.
If building a Garage Gym is in your future, we'd love to be part. Our new lineup of Garage Gym Equipment Packages ship free to the continental US and even if you live outside our borders, get in touch with us here since we ship internationally too.


text: Quick question. I have a 5 dr Audi 1.8. A while ago my battery died (due to the misses opening the central light to find her phone) When we tried to drive, obviously the battery was flat so we got it revived and away we go. Ever since then, I find that when I do central locking button inside the car, others can open the door. How can this be sorted? Also the windows, there is normally a switch that allows the rear passangers to open/close their windows. Now the passengers cannot open the rear windows and I have to open via the master swtich. There is usually a button that stays down, but no its up. How can both of these be sorted out? Please help me.

WASHINGTON The Bush administration yesterday said it will allow developers to complete construction and other projects even after belated discoveries that the work could endanger protected species.
The new rules from the Interior Department's Fish and Wildlife Service restore a Clinton-era initiative known as "no surprises." It will allow agencies to give blanket assurances to home builders, timber and mining companies and other developers that they won't have unforeseen requirements to protect rare species once a project has begun.
A federal judge had blocked the rules in June, telling the government it needed to hear more ideas from the public.
Bobby Rayburn, president of the National Association of Home Builders, said the rules strike "a fair balance between two important priorities: protecting endangered species and building adequate, affordable housing."

Six groups led by the California-based Spirit of the Sage Council, which represents some American Indians and environmentalists, had challenged the rules from the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Commerce Department's National Marine Fisheries Service, which enforce the Endangered Species Act.
Eric Glitzenstein, a lawyer for the groups, said the rules remain "a legally and scientifically bankrupt policy that can only drive species closer to extinction."
A rule in effect from 1998 until last June offered some immunity during development. The Clinton administration in 1999 adopted a second rule spelling out narrow circumstances under which permits could be revoked.
Under the rules, landowners and developers must have plans for dealing with species' habitats if they want to obtain a permit that lets them off the hook for killing, injuring or harassing rare plants and animals.
Such harm to species on the threatened and endangered lists must be during "otherwise lawful development or land-use activities," Fish and Wildlife officials said in a statement.
The government reserves the right to revoke a permit, if killing a plant or animal "will reduce the likelihood of (its) survival and recovery in the wild … and the Service cannot find a remedy to prevent this situation," the statement said.
No permits have been revoked so far, Fish and Wildlife spokesman Mitch Snow said.

Have you heard the news? Giancarlo Stanton ($5,800) will be playing in Coors Field tonight, and baseball officials have modified the rules to account for his Herculean power. So, in order for Stanton to hit a home run, the ball must completely leave the stadium; anything in the seats is an out. It's only fair. Stanton DGAF though. Okay, I'm full of sh*t, man – just like that John Denver.
But yeah, I'll have all the Giancarlo because the pitching options are pretty ugly, which in turn, means it's time to take some risks and save some money. That's a good thing though, because there is going to be some major point scoring going on, and you'll need every cent to spend on bats. No, not the flying rodents; I mean the wood things. Anyways, continue on to see where my head's at for tonight's slate.
Want to try your hand at DraftKings? If so, first off, welcome to the club. Second, use this referral link. You'll receive a free contest entry, and we'll instantly be DFS buddies for life!
Stupid Weather, Man
Of course the only game in real danger of the wet stuff is in Colorado. The internet tells me there's a 40-60% chance of thunderstorms, but I'm not scared. They will get the game in – believe that.
They Say it is Your Birthday
No birthdays to report [insert sad trombone].
Breakfast at Whiffany's
The Orioles really like striking out. Well, they probably hate it, but that's beside the point. Baltimore is averaging more than eight strikeouts per game and their K rate is 23% against RHP. Shaun Marcum ($4,300) has pitched surprisingly well since rising from the dead, and with a K/9 of 9.61, I'm gonna do the damn thing. I got money to blow-oh-oh.
I'm going to spend up a little for SP2, but he'll still leave me with a lot of wiggle room at the plate. Edinson Volquez ($7,800) has also resurrected his career (for now), and he has been cooking at home this year. Volquez owns a .176 BAA in Kauffman Stadium, where he has yet to allow a home run (knock on wood). The Royals are playing host to the Rangers tonight, who also average more than eight whiffs per game, and sport a K rate over 20% against RHP.
Let's Talk About Stacks, Baby (and other stuff)
I reckon an Indians stack is in order against Chris Tillman, who suuuuucks. No stats needed to support that fact. Fine, here's one. Tillman's 4.75 BB/9 is astronomical, and when you pair that with a justified .286 BAA, a beautiful stack is born. Stackables include Jason Kipnis ($4,800), Michael Brantley ($4,700), Brandon Moss ($4,400), Lonnie Chisenhall ($3,600), and David Murphy ($3,000).
There's not much science behind a Blue Jays stack, especially when they're in Canada, eh? Toronto (and Minnesota) leads the majors with 5.35 runs per game at home. Roberto Hernandez (RHP) is mediocre on a good day, but I predict this day will be bad … for him. Stackables include Josh Donaldson ($5,300), Jose Bautista ($5,200), Jose Reyes ($4,600), Russell Martin ($4,300), and Ryan Goins ($2,300). I'm out on Edwin Encarnacion ($4,900), who not only is dinged up (hamstring), but has burned me all season.
Did I mention Minnesota? Why, yes, I did. They get Kyle Lohse (RHP) tonight, who is third in HR/9 (1.88), and I don't see him stepping up to the plate against his former team (figuratively, not literally). Stackables include Brian Dozier ($4,700), Torii Hunter ($4,100), Trevor Plouffe ($4,000), Eddie Rosario ($3,000), Eduardo Escobar ($2,900), and Kurt Suzuki ($2,900).
Paul Goldschmidt ($5,700) is hitting .349 against lefties this year. Okay, he's hitting .349 against righties too, so it doesn't really matter who he is facing. Just ask Matt Harvey. But still, Jonathan Niese is a southpaw, and Goldy is a boss with a career 1.065 OPS versus LHP at home. You do the math.
Mike Trout ($5,600) rakes in Yankee Stadium. In 10 career games, he has a triple slash of .410/.500/.692 – is that something you might be interested in? Fans of Entourage will get that one. I think my wife is making me see the move tonight. TBH, I'm not too excited about it.
Alex Rodriguez ($4,000) will be the BVP chalk play of the day because of his 1.469 OPS and five dongs in 35 PA against Jered Weaver. I'll pass.
Another BVP chalk play is Dustin Pedroia ($4,200) against Scott Kazmir (LHP), who is Pedroia's gimp. In 50 career PA, DP (giggidy) holds a 1.380 OPS and has struck out only twice. I like this one a little more than A-Fraud.
Jordan Pacheco ($2,400) is a decent punt at catcher. He is hitting .306 at home and facing a lefty (Niese).
I'm tired of typing. Good luck tonight, and be sure to double-check those lineups!

Eliminate the need to daisy chain Aviom Personal Mixers and connect separate power supplies.
The Aviom A-16D Pro accepts one Pro16 A-Net input signal (typically from an Input Module, such as the AN-16/i) and provides nine parallel outputs, using rugged EtherCon connectors and standard Cat-5e cables. The A-16D Pro distributor provides isolated (floating ground) DC power through the eight A-Net Outs; the ninth output is an unpowered A-Net Thru connector, designed for distributing a copy of the A-Net signal to a second A-Net Distributor or remote location.
The A-16D Pro eliminates the need to daisy chain Personal Mixers, and simplifies set-up by eliminating the need to connect a power supply to each mixer. Inside the A-16D Pro is Aviom's unique power sub-system design, which requires no external power supplies and which virtually eliminates the possibility of introducing hum or ground loops. The A-16D Pro can also be used as a central hub in an audio distribution system or snake, providing outputs to multiple locations or redundant outputs to a single location.
All connections on the A-16D Pro are on the front panel. A pass-through cable cutout is provided for flexible cable routing. As with all Pro16 Series products, Cat-5e cable runs can be up to 500 ft.

Comments about Aviom A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor and DC Power Source:
This is a Great unit. Not only does it distribute to 8 separate mixers with an output to other Distro units, It gives power to all 8 of the units. Great in that it reduces the number of power cables needed for those small A-16II Boxes. A must have oin

THE State Government is no closer to declaring Easter Sunday a public holiday, more than two years after asking for feedback on the idea.
The state's most powerful union wants the day proclaimed a public holiday so workers can receive penalty rates and have the right to refuse shifts to be with family or attend religious services.
But the business sector argues there are enough public holidays in the long weekend and employers cannot afford to pay higher penalty rates on another day.
Penalty rates became a divisive issue in the lead-up to last month's election. Now the Restaurant and Catering Association of SA has launched a renewed campaign against two part-day public holidays on Christmas and New Years eves, introduced in 2012.
The association says the holidays have caused a 63 per cent rise in restaurant and cafe closures and caused SA employers to pay the highest hourly rates for casual workers on the part-day holidays.
However, the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employee's Association says employer lobby groups are "unfairly blaming penalty rates" for businesses choosing not to open on public holidays, including Easter.
"There are hundreds of both small and large businesses trading on Sundays and public holidays and hundreds of workers are earning penalty rates throughout the year and Easter is no exception to this," SDA secretary Peter Malinauskas said.
Easter Sunday is not officially a public holiday in SA.
NSW is the only state that gives the day special holiday status. Under the Holidays Act 1910 every Sunday is technically a public holiday, but by convention this does not afford workers penalty rates each week. These are instead set out in industrial awards or contracts.
In early 2012, the Government released a discussion paper on removing the public holiday status of all Sundays and prescribing Easter Sunday as a public holiday in its own right - but it is yet to make a decision.
Industrial Relations Minister John Rau said in a statement that he had discussed potential changes with union and business leaders "on a number of occasions" and discussions were "continuing".
In submissions on the issue, church leaders and unions argued for the change, while Business SA and retailers such as Myer and Coles were opposed.
The majority of submissions to the public consultation argued Easter Sunday should not be prescribed a public holiday.
"This is a difficult issue. Any change would need to balance the needs of both businesses and workers," Mr Rau said.
Many people who work on Sundays are paid double time, while those who work on public holidays are paid double time and a half.
SDA Secretary Peter Malinauskas said the omission of Easter Sunday from the public holiday calendar was a "glaring anomaly".
"I think most people are under the understanding that Easter Sunday is a public holiday now," he said.
"The SDA believes that employees who work unsociable hours such as late nights, weekends and public holidays should be fairly compensated.
"We have this situation that Easter Saturday and Easter Monday are both public holidays but Easter Sunday is not."
Mr Malinauskas said people who worked over the Easter break deserved to be compensated for missing time with their family on such a significant day.
Business SA director of policy Rick Cairney said employers could not afford to pay another day of high penalty rates.
Liberal industrial relations spokesman Iain Evans said the Opposition was not proposing changes but urged the Government to "put people out of their misery and either say they're going to change it or they're not".
"I wouldn't think that (declaring another public holiday) should be a priority for government frankly, the priorities should be the things that we've raised, like tax reform and the WorkCover scheme," he said.

Can anyone tell me what the weather is like in Hilton Head in February or in April?
We were there in Feb. 2001 and had temps in the low 80's, however friends of ours were there this past Feb. and had temps in the 50's so it's very iffy. Even in the 80's in Feb. ocean is too cold to swim. I would imagine April is warmer and more predictable.
