Great Car- Be mindful of climate/temp
By MO Driver on Sunday, May 26, 2019I want to set the record straight. Almost every review on KBB states this car gets worse MPG than advertised. When I was purchasing this car, the dealer informed me that they don't sell a lot of hybrids in the Midwest, as the climate doesn't do the cars a lot of favors. I've always wanted a hybrid/EV and the price was right on the Accord Hybrid EX. I purchased in Oct. when the weather was getting cold, and the car only got ~37 mpg. After some testing, I found that the heating requires massive amounts of battery, and the cold weather also makes the battery hold and discharge the batter less efficiently. As soon as spring hit, I've been getting as high as 50.5 mpg as a tank average! I got around 500 miles before filling up, and the gas light hasn't even turned on. This is a fantastic vehicle, but you have to be mindful of where you live, and what the weather is like. This car would be perfect for Hawaii or a coastal city that sees stable, >60 weather year round. Hope this helps clear up the issue of people reporting lower than expected mileage.

Buyers remorse over engineered
By PW on Thursday, October 29, 2020I have owned this car for 3 months. It by far the worst sounding car I have ever owned and I have owned many cars. Sounds are hard to pinpoint and address when they are intermittent like this car. There is a series of noises at low speed that are just worrisome to say the least. Friends have commented, " What is wrong with your car? It sounds like the transmission is getting ready to fail". The dealer says the sound is normal for this car. Wow! Normal! don't think this should be normal. Supposedly the initial sound heard is supposed to be to alert pedestrians there is a quiet car---duh! Overengineered! Secondly there is a very annoying grinding noise and/or groaning noise emanating from the right front of this car. It is so loud it drowns out the radio under low speed. The sound is like a slipping transmission, and/or transfer of different motors gas/electric not engaging properly. We are monitoring this sound. Undoubtedly we will be going back to the dealership once it is more pronounced. Buyer beware could be a lemon. We'll see. Wrote the manufacturer about said problem.

Texas Daredevil Bids to Attempt Snake River Canyon Jump 40 Years After Evel Knievel
A Texas man dropped $943,000 to pick up where hero Evil Knievel left off.
Sept. 28, 2013 -- A Texas motorcycle stuntman will get a chance to make his dreams become a reality after he placed the winning bid of nearly $1 million for the rights to jump a gaping Idaho canyon once attempted by Evel Knievel.
Big Ed Beckley, 63, of Bridgeport, Texas, bid $943,000 to the Idaho Department of Lands for the rights to recreate Knievel's Snake River Canyon jump on the 40th anniversary of his attempt, he told ABCNews.com.
But unlike Knievel, he hopes he will be successful in the death-defying feat.
"What inspired me to get into this auction and do this jump over the canyon is because I was a huge Evel Knievel fan," he said. "I wanted to do the canyon because of a couple of different reasons. One, it hasn't been done. And I want to do it, I feel like it's going to be a huge opportunity."
Beckley said he placed the winning bid to conquer the approximately 1,600-foot-wide canyon made of volcanic rock on Friday. While he didn't plan on bidding so high, he said he couldn't back down once it got down to the wire.
"My cutoff had a one on the front of it," Beckley said. "I wasn't going there, but my girlfriend kept hitting me in the leg and said, 'Don't stop now, we have to win this thing.'"
Known as the "world's largest motorcycle jumper," Beckley's big bid earned him a two-year lease on the state land near Twin Falls, Idaho.
"It takes a year to do one of these things," he said. "We still have lots of hoops to jump through and a lot of government entities that have their hand out."
In addition to paying out the winning bid, Beckley must also pay $25,000 a year to the Idaho Department of Lands for the duration of his lease, have $10 million in commercial liability insurance and fork over a share of the event's revenue to the state, The Associated Press reported.
The daredevil said he and a team of engineers have already started working on the rocket-powered motorcycle stunt and even have a date in mind for the launch. Beckley said he hopes to ride on Sept. 7, 2014 -- just one day before the 40th anniversary of Knievel's unsuccessful attempt.
In order to prepare, Beckley and his team are planning simulations and gravity tests to ensure his super-charged bike is up for the task.
"When Knievel started to do this, he was going to use a rocket-powered motorcycle to go off this dirt mound, but then he got talked out of it when he changed engineers," he said. "I want to be in control. I do not want to be a passing pilot sitting in a rocket that I have no idea what to do with.
"I know how to ride, I've beeng riding since I was 10 years old. That part I got," Beckley said. "What happens when I get off that take-off ramp, that's what happens next."

Data from a fire hose?
No matter how thirsty you are, it's not easy to drink from a fire hose. But that's similar to the challenge of capturing and storing the huge blast of images and information that the new GOES-R series of weather satellites will gather.
In the Satellite Insight game, you will have to think and move fast to keep up with the massive flow of different types of data being captured by a GOES-R satellite.
GOES stands for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite. There are two GOES satellites in geostationary orbit watching over North America. And what's a "geostationary orbit"?
Satellites in geostationary orbit, such as the current GOES and the future GOES-R, are "parked" above the equator. They orbit Earth just once a day. As Earth spins on its axis, a geostationary satellite always "hangs in the sky" over the same spot on Earth.
The GOES-R series of satellites will gather more weather information, in more detail and with greater accuracy than the current GOES. The first GOES-R satellite is planned for launch in October 2016. GOES-R satellites will also monitor the Sun (as do the current GOES) and give better warnings of solar storms that could damage power grids, satellites, and communications systems on Earth. GOES and the new GOES-R are also part of a global search and rescue system.
The GOES-R satellites will gather so much data so fast, that people on the ground who use this information—such as weather forecasters, climate scientists, aviation managers, and all sorts of other planners, managers, and scientists—are building new data processing systems to handle the massive data flow.
Play Satellite Insight and see if you can keep up!

Jack Taylor is a 5-foot-10 guard at Grinnell College, and last night he scored 138 points in his team's game against Faith Baptist Bible. Division III ball is essentially a somewhat glorified high-school game, but still, 138 points! That's insane, and Taylor now has the NCAA single-game scoring record.
The ridiculousness of the feat really comes into focus when you take a look at Taylor's stat line. He was 52 of 108 from the field, 27 of 71 from three-point range, and seven of 10 from the free-throw line. Taking 108 shots may seem impossible, but Grinnell runs a notoriously fast-paced offense, and Taylor had some kind of hot hand. Or he's just kind of a dick.
We recommend that Taylor capitalize on his fame while it lasts. Why not take 109 shots next game, or make a vow to try for 150 points every game? His teammates would surely hate him, but it's just Division III basketball. Fuck it.
Here are some video highlights from the game:

Microsoft Is Still Writing Checks to Nokia, but Things Will Switch Soon
As part of Microsoft's deal with Nokia, both companies are paying each other billions over several years. However, the exchange is heavily uneven, with Nokia getting most of the cash early on and Microsoft getting more in the deal's later years.
As we pointed out in January, Nokia has reached the point at which it owes Microsoft more in guaranteed minimum royalty payments than it is due in future "platform support payments" from Microsoft. Nokia has been getting $250 million per quarter from Microsoft since the deal took effect.
In a regulatory filing on Thursday, Nokia went into more detail on just where things stand.
Nokia noted that it now owes Microsoft more than 500 million more euros ($650.5 million) than it is due from Redmond. However, for the balance of 2013 it still expects to be getting a net payment from Microsoft.
Here's the full text of what Nokia had to say on the matter:
Our agreement with Microsoft includes platform support payments from Microsoft to us as well as software royalty payments from us to Microsoft. Under the terms of the agreement governing the platform support payments, the amount of each quarterly platform support payment is USD 250 million.
We have a competitive software royalty structure, which includes annual minimum software royalty commitments that vary over the life of the agreement. Software royalty payments, with minimum commitments are paid quarterly. Over the life of the agreement, both the platform support payments and the minimum software royalty commitments are expected to measure in the billions of US dollars. Over the life of the agreement the total amount of the platform support payments is expected to slightly exceed the total amount of the minimum software royalty commitment payments.
As of the end of 2012, the amount of platform support payments received by Nokia has exceeded the amount of minimum software royalty commitment payments made to Microsoft, thus the net cash flows have been in our favor. As a result, the remaining minimum software royalty commitment payments are expected to exceed the remaining platform support payments by a total of approximately EUR 0.5 billion over the remaining life of the agreement.
However, in 2013 the amount of the platform support payments is expected to slightly exceed the total amount of the minimum software royalty commitment payments, thus the net cash flows are still expected to be slightly in our favor.

|Universal Installation CD
|Pros and Cons
You might find a Package CD on one of our mirrors. This CD is not an Installation CD but an additional resource that can be exploited during a networkless installation. It contains prebuilt packages (also known as the GRP set) that allow you to easily and quickly install additional applications (such as OpenOffice.org, KDE, GNOME, ...) immediately after the networkless Gentoo installation.
If you intend to use the Packages CD to quickly install additional software, make sure that you use the same subarchitecture as the stage3 tarball you use.
A stage3 tarball is an archive containing a minimal Gentoo environment, suitable
to continue the Gentoo installation using the instructions in this manual.
Previously, the Gentoo Handbook described the installation using one of three

The space shuttle Endeavour finished its flying days for good on Friday with a sightseeing tour that crisscrossed California and ended up at Los Angeles' airport.
Strapped to the back of a 747 jumbo jet, the pair touched down just before 1 p.m. PT (4 p.m. ET) after a state-spanning flyover that lasted nearly five hours. One of the crew members stuck an American flag out of the hatch of the jet.
The flyover took Endeavour over the state Capitol, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Hollywood Sign and other icons en route to LAX, where the shuttle will be prepped for a slow-speed journey to its museum home next month.
At the Santa Monica Pier, spectators pointed their cameras skyward, and some chanted, "USA! USA!" as Endeavour swooped along the coast. "Even though it was a few seconds, it was a unique experience to witness history," said Andrew Lerner, 23, of Santa Monica.
Thousands of spectators jammed rooftop buildings and streets in Sacramento, cheering as Endeavour made two loops around the state Capitol. A crowd of schoolchildren squealed in delight during the second flyover.
Matthew Montgomery took a break from his work as a legislative aide and brought his 2-year-old son, Tavion, to see Endeavour airborne. "I was going to leave him in daycare but thought this is a once-in-a-lifetime deal," said Montgomery, whose aunt was an engineer on the early Apollo missions.
Peggy Burke was among the hordes of camera-toting tourists who jammed the waterfront along the San Francisco Bay, reflecting on the end of an era.
"It's just a shame that the program has to end, but I'm so glad they came to the Bay Area, especially over the Golden Gate Bridge," she said. "Onward to Mars."
Because Endeavour buzzed by some of the Golden State's most iconic sights, law enforcement and transportation authorities warned motorists not to "gawk and drive."
"We want people to take in this majestic show," Los Angeles police Cmdr. Scott Kroeber said earlier this week. "But if you're driving, please drive and don't try to take in the show simultaneously."
Traffic came to a near stop along a freeway near the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory east of Los Angeles when motorists pulled off to the shoulder to watch. California Highway Patrol officers came through and blared on loud speakers for people to move on.
Extra officers were on duty along the freeways near the airport to make sure traffic flowed smoothly as the shuttle zoomed overhead. As Endeavour approached LAX, other airplanes were forced to circle and wait. Passengers on an American Airlines flight from Miami snapped pictures and shot video out their windows as the shuttle arrived.
"This was a once-in-a-lifetime event," said pilot Doug Causey, who has been flying for 29 years. "That was a real treat to see something like that."
Sentimental journey
The landing at LAX marked the end of a three-day cross-country trip from Endeavour's former home at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. On Wednesday, the shuttle left Florida forever and made low passes over NASA facilities in Mississippi and Louisiana. The piggyback pair spent the night at Houston's Ellington Field, near the home of Mission Control at Johnson Space Center.
On Thursday, Endeavour resumed its westward flight and made a special pass over Tucson, Ariz., to honor its last commander, Mark Kelly, and his wife, former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Giffords, who is recovering from a head wound she suffered during a mass shooting in Tucson last year, was "hooting and hollering" as Endeavour looped around her hometown, according to her former aide, C.J. Karamargin.
"That's my spaceship," Kelly said proudly.
Thursday afternoon's visit to Edwards Air Force Base brought Endeavour full circle: NASA's shuttle fleet, which retired last year after three decades of flight, was assembled in Palmdale near Edwards. The military outpost, 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of Los Angeles, served as the original shuttle landing strip and remained a backup site in case of stormy weather in Florida.
Officials in California played up the shuttle connection. "We're so excited to be welcoming Endeavour home in grand style with these flyovers," said Jeffrey Rudolph, president of the California Science Center.
The cost for shipping and handling Endeavour was estimated at $28 million, to be paid for by the science center.
Past and future
The youngest shuttle, Endeavour replaced Challenger, which blew up during liftoff in 1986. NASA lost another shuttle, Columbia, in 2003 when it disintegrated during re-entry. Fourteen astronauts were killed.
During 25 missions, Endeavour spent 299 days in space and orbited Earth nearly 4,700 times, racking up 123 million miles (198 million kilometers).
On its maiden flight in 1992, a trio of spacewalking astronauts grabbed a stranded communications satellite in for repair. It also flew the first repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope to fix a faulty mirror. But most of its flights ferried cargo and equipment to the International Space Station.
Under White House orders to explore beyond low-Earth orbit, NASA is hitching rides on Russian rockets to the orbiting laboratory until private companies can provide regular service.
Endeavour is the second of three remaining shuttles to head to its retirement home. In April, Discovery arrived at the Smithsonian Institution's hangar in Virginia. Atlantis, which closed out the shuttle program, will stay in Florida. It's due to be towed a short distance to the Kennedy Space Center's visitor center in the fall.
The prototype shuttle Enterprise, which was used in aerodynamic glide tests but never flew in space, was moved out of the Smithsonian to make room for Discovery. Enterprise was flown to John F. Kennedy International Airport, shipped up the Hudson River on a barge, and put on display at New York's Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum.
The piggyback flights of Discovery and Enterprise became popular photo opportunities. If anything, Endeavour's star turn was more elaborate — and more widely watched. But now, with Endeavour on the ground and Atlantis staying in Florida, such flights will be a thing of the past.
Endeavour will remain at an airport hangar for several weeks as crews ready the shuttle for its own road trip. Next month, it will creep through city streets on a wheeled transporter, heading for the California Science Center near downtown.
About 400 trees will be cleared along the 12-mile (20-kilometer) route to make room, a move that has riled some residents in affected neighborhoods. Museum officials have pledged to replant double the number of chopped trees.
This report includes information from The Associated Press and NBC News.

Earlier this month, we launched The Server Room, Ars Technica's new community for IT professionals. The Server Room launch is sponsored by Dell's Future of Storage. This article on a new archival backup technology is part of an ongoing topics and discussions related to IT and storage technology.
Holographic storage maker InPhase, a spinoff of Bell Labs, first appeared on the radar back in 2005. Initially, the company claimed that it would soon offer holographic discs at 300GB densities, with later disc densities rising as high as 1TB. InPhase's actual shipping product has been coming real soon now for the past few years, but reports have the company releasing its Tapestry hologram archival product this coming May. This time, apparently, they really, really, really, really mean it. Pinkie swear.
The first-generation Tapestry 300r device will use 300GB holographic discs, currently priced at $180 per disc in volume quantities. Initial drive transfer speed will be 20MBps, with transfer rates and available storage rising to 80MBps/800GB with the 800r, and 120MBps/1.6TB with the 1600r. InPhase has given no guidance on when we might see these units, which is probably a good idea, given how long it has taken the company to ready the 300r.
The Tapestry 300r holographic storage system is impressive on a technological level, but whether that product will take hold in the market is another question altogether. At just under $18,000 per unit, the Tapestry 300r isn't exactly cheap, and a 20MBps data transfer rate, while not terrible, isn't going to drop any jaws.
At the moment, InPhase is pushing Tapestry as an archive solution rather than a data backup system. One of the great advantages of holographic media is that it can last for decades—InPhase claims a 50-year lifetime—and the company is quick to emphasize these aspects in its product brochure (PDF), which, as of this writing, hasn't been updated since April 9, 2007. The Tapestry 300r supports 68-pin SCSI (160-320), Fibre Channel 4GB, FTP, gigabit Ethernet, 1394-attached cameras, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), and iSCSI as well. The unit appears to only hold (and write) to one disc at a time, which could make major archival procedures tedious—swapping holographic discs in 2008 isn't any more fun than swapping 1.44MB floppies was in 1990.
Questions over long-term backwards compatibility may also blunt Tapestry 300r sales. The company's literature states that the yet-to-be-released Tapestry 800r and 1600r will be backwards compatible with 300r discs, but does not state that the 300r will be able to read 800r and 1600r media once those discs are available. If it can't, companies and institutions that would otherwise be interested in the product may elect to wait for later products in the series. $18,000 is quite a lot to pay for a single point of access, particularly when one is faced with the prospect of buying a new unit just three to four years later.
As for the issue of whether or not Tapestry is shipping for real this time, we did some follow-up calls with data storage solution provider ISSI Data, which currently offers the units for rent. ISSI Data told us that only a small number of Tapestry 300r demo units will be available in May. These units will be limited to a 150GB capacity, but the discs they burn will be read-compatible with the production version of the 300r, which is currently scheduled to go on the market in September. So once again, all we have is another promised ship date.
What does your business use for long-term archival storage? Would a technology like InPhase's be attractive if it came to market and the cost per megabyte were to come down, or are there other obstacles to its adoption? Drop into The Server Room and join the conversation.

Excellent Photography Tips
Shooting At the Best with Excellent Photography Tips
Photography is an extremely popular hobby nowadays, but many people are uncertain whether they can discover the proper strategies to produce good photos. Here are a few helpful tips to increase your understanding.
Keep things as easy as possible when attempting to capture an excellent shot. You don't have to wreak havoc on a lot of different color or motion settings.
Avoid including an overcast sky when taking photos. Your photo will appear beaten up when they capture an excessive amount of a grey sky inside it. Black and white-colored photography may go ideal for an overcast sky. When the day isn't overcast, put because nowhere sky inside your pictures as you wish, but be cautious about the sunshine.
A ds is a vital tool should you to succeed your photography itself. This kind of digital single lens reflex camera provides you with begin to see the most accurate look at your subject while you snap the photo. For bigger images and much more detailed photographs, you need to purchase a full-frame DSLR.
Lots of people believe that vibrant, the truth is, sunlight can ruin any photograph. It causes awkward shadows, including shadows, and could cause your susceptible to squint once they face the digital camera. Early mornings or twilight tend to be better selections for photo shoots.
Many photographers disregard the foreground within their shots concentrating on the backdrop, however the foreground is exactly what the viewer might find.
Always pack your equipment for any trip. Do not take 50 lenses when five is going to do, and consider what you could carry for the trip.
You need to enjoy taking photos. Getting photographs should provide you with a feeling of accomplishment, or possibly simply to snap a peek at everyday existence. Have some fun when using the pictures and can will quickly adore photography.
Find something appropriate and fascinating photograph. You usually need good subjects, but without proper subject you won't get quality pictures.
When you're going to have a picture, be still and hold your breath. Even minimal movement might make your ideal shot to become destroyed.
Try to place your models comfortable around you are able to, specifically if you just met them. Lots of people view getting their picture. Be friendly and begin a discussion, start a discussion and get permission to consider pictures. Help people photography being a talent, and not simply an approach to invading their privacy.
After you have the video developed, consider getting prints made onto a number of papers, like fiber papers.
Natural lighting can enjoy an essential component. Once the suns greater on the horizon, or even the sun has elevated levels of heaven, as well as your subject could finish up squinting because of the strong light.
Good camera focus is really a critical aspect in creating the picture and perspective. Particularly when beginning out, keep your primary subject centered as well as in view.
Make sure not lose out on shooting some good shot because you are attempting to obtain your settings set correctly. Don't use preset settings or perhaps your settings? Review your choices to make use of the setting which helps you to change things as you would like to.
Take lots of practice shots when you're using a new subjects or backdrops. Every photo taking chance differs, and taking practice shots provides you with an understanding of the atmosphere. Try taking photos between you real shots.
A sunset may be the traditional way of developing a silhouette, but many of photographers only use sunsets. Whenever that brightness inside a backdrop exceeds those of the topic, supplying the topic isn't as vibrant because the background. Just keep in mind that typically the outline of the body or face can highlight an unflattering feature in your susceptible to be highlighted.
Test out different angles to include visual interest for your photographs. Anybody can rapidly snap a photograph of the scene mind-on. Take a look at things from the different perspective, or lookup at something to obtain an interesting perspective. You could also discover that angled or diagonal shots to ensure they are more interesting.
Keep these pointers in your mind next time you choose your camera. These pointers are just helpful should you really get out there and practice them.

All Blacks 42
Italy 10
The curse of inconsistency has struck again - the All Blacks failing to back up their solidity of last week with anything remotely similar in Rome this morning.
They won the game. Of course they did - the sun wouldn't have come up this morning if they hadn't. But they didn't nail the performance. The hammer bashed the thumb. Not once - but for 70 minutes. Much could be made of the vigour of the Italians, their desire to win the collisions and their ability to just about do so. They moved the ball well, got off the line quickly in defence and had structure, purpose and a bit of fun playing the underdog.
But that was kind of the point - they were the underdog because, really, there was a gulf in class between the teams all things being equal - that is, the All Blacks playing at or close to their potential - then it should have been a bit of a doddle: a 50-minute joust to break them down and then a 30-minute reward of showboating. Fat chance.
The All Blacks were all over the place - not literally, sadly it was metaphorical. They didn't find any rhythm or cohesion until the final 10 minutes when the Italians had run out of steam. The the tries flowed and gave a false impression of what had really happened.
The All Blacks were on the backfoot in the battle for the gainline and the basic skills didn't quite fall apart, but they did malfunction in a reasonably major way.
AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.
The Italians used a rush defence - a suspiciously offside rush defence - to unsettle the All Blacks, to harry them, rush them and force them into quick decisions. That was a rich source of disruption as it led to some flustered work by the All Blacks around the ruck.
They couldn't get the fluidity and control they were after - couldn't get the go-forward, own the gainline or recycle quick ball. Those passages where the All Blacks were swarmed, wrapped up and forced to work hard to dig out slow ball - they built the frustration and frustration led to compounding errors.
It was a wonder the All Blacks got the job done in the end. They were never in control, never far enough ahead for the sloppiness to be a mild irritation: it was a source of serious concern as the Italians looked capable of scoring and the longer the game went on and they were still in it, the more they believed. And the more the crowd came into it and the more obvious the nerves in the All Blacks performance became.
That they did manage to do enough to sneak home was down to a few moments of composure and class.
The risk for the Italians was that the All Blacks could whisk the ball into the midfield and away from the traffic and out there they encountered a jagged defensive line. Aaron Cruden came to life when he found himself confronted with a line that had holes: he picked them plenty and he was the man who gave the All Blacks all their attacking thrust in the first half. He was the matador at the bullfight - so small, so vulnerable and yet so capable of teasing and taunting the dumb animals around him. When he jinked and probed, Italy were in trouble. It should have been more trouble but the handling wasn't sharp enough and nor was the support running quick enough.
But Conrad Smith was able to latch onto one Cruden break and then feed a rampaging Read who scored and a neat move from a set-play was enough to see Ma'a Nonu bash over early in the second and for Cory Jane to scamper through 10 minutes from time. It was enough - only just and the All Blacks travel to Cardiff now knowing they have to do more, much more.
Italy 10 (A. Sgarbi tries; L. Orquera con, pen, DG)
New Zealand 42 (K. Read, M. Nonu, C. Jane, J. Savea (2) tries; A. Cruden 4 cons, 3 pens)

What if Obama and Romney were video game characters, and the national conventions were where they did battle? And what if it wasn't just any video game, but a super catchy music game, where the candidates crooned and harmonized as they amassed a high score of hope-mentions and implications of faith? Well, I'd probably watch, that's what.
You may not have heard of The Gregory Brothers, but surely you've heard of their series, 'Auto-Tune The News,' in which they turn pundits and politicians into inadvertent music stars. (My favorite one is still Episode 6, where Michael Jackson's lawyer sings a moving ode to waking up dead.)
Check out this latest, video-game inspired musical video by the Brothers, created especially for the New York Times. It is good.

So Nintendo has surprised most of us by announcing the launch date for the Wii as November 19, at a $250 price point. They won't be beating Sony to launch, and the price is a little higher than most people were hoping for. Of course prices are always higher than we'd like, but $200 was considered the sweet spot for making the system almost an impulse buy for early adopters. Sure, they're bundling in Wii Sports, but will that help to sell systems?
Wii Sports is important for one very simple reason: it shows off the Wiimote perfectly. Out of the box, gamers will have some software that shows them what Wiimote is capable of, so if they end up buying a crappy launch game they aren't soured on the entire system. It's a great tech demo, it supports multiple players (although only one controller is included with the Wii), and it will definitely show off the system. I think it was a smart move, and having something to play with out of the box is always fun.
I think the misconception may be that if they removed the bundle, the system would be $200 though, and I think that reasoning is false. Nintendo can give away a first-party game like Wii Sports at almost no cost, and they're famously adverse to losing money on hardware even at launch. If $250 is the price that will make them profitable from day one, that's the price they're going to stick with, bundle or no.
Being profitable at launch is a powerful weapon when your two competitors are losing money on each piece of hardware sold. Nintendo could come in a distant third in terms of hardware units sold, yet still make vastly more money than Sony or Microsoft. When you have the biggest bank account balance, is being number one so important?
The biggest question is how much their audience will be limited by the $250 price. Would a $200 price have attracted more casual gamers? Maybe, but we'll never know. It's an experiment I would have loved Nintendo to try. I think we must also remember that you have to be as good looking as the people in Nintendo's promotional pictures to play or buy the Wii. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Meet Samantha Barks, Nick Jonas' New Girlfriend! Is She A Selena Gomez Replacement?
Nick Jonas has been caught kissing and now it looks like he is ready to get rid of his single status!
Hollywood's romance radar has been buzzing over the news that Nick Jonas, 18, has been more than just friends with his Les Miserables co-star Samantha Barks, 20. The pair haven't been shy to hold hands in public and steal kisses when they think no one is looking, but with their romance heating up, we wanted to know everything about the girl who has Nick's heart!
Turns out, the British beauty is a force to be reckoned with. Samantha has been dancing since the age of three and was acting by the time she was four. She's triple threat as professional singer who, in 2007, released her first album, "Looking In Your Eyes."
Nick has a thing for brunettes so we're not surprised he's attracted to Samantha. Her dark hair, eyes and fair complexion reminds a lot of his former flame, Selena Gomez, 18. The similarities don't stop there. Selena, who stars on Disney's hit show, Wizards of Waverly Place, can count Sam as a member of the mouse ear wearing family. In 2011, Samantha will make her Disney debut as the voice of Zoe on the animated show Groove High.
Although Nick has stayed tight lipped on the subject, only to tell the press "I keep that stuff to myself." Samantha has opened up about new beau and why she's so smitten!
"Nick is such a wonderful person. We definitely keep in contact," she said, coyly.
With all the Jonas Brothers wrapped up in relationships, we can't wait to see them triple date!

A little off-topic but related. I came across this Russian Civil War Metagame AAR and found it very entertaining.
http://www.wargamer.com/articles/red-da ... ar-part-1/
The thing I liked was how the metagame, which involves dozens of people not just as general, but including playing the roles of various government ministers, tribal leaders, green factions, etc., can simulate how random and chaotic armed conflicts can actually be. Where personalities and random events make a real difference. They even had three women roleplaying the Cheka.
It would be great if someday online wargame "metagames" could be created where you could get hundreds of people from around the world to do something like this.
Anyway, thought folks would find it interesting.

Protest against the "Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law" at the Hizma chekcpoint. Photo (archive) by Lazar Simeonov.
The Israeli parliament sanctioned a year-long extension of the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law on Monday, June 16, 2015. The law, which was initially enacted as a temporary order, obstructs family unification in the cases where one of the spouses is a resident of the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
The law provides that the Minister of Interior shall not grant any inhabitant of Judea, Samaria or the Gaza Strip the Israeli citizenship, nor a residency permit based on the previous misuse of the rights and mobility thus gained by the Palestinians from the OPT.
"An examination of the security situation since the armed confrontation between Israel and the Palestinians broke out shows growing involvement of Palestinians residing in the region, who took advantage of their status in Israel as a result of family-reunification processes to become involved in terrorist activities, including aiding in carrying out suicide attacks," said Silvan Shalom, Israeli Minister of Interior and member of the Likud party, Haaretz reported.
The Knesset passed the 'discriminatory' legislation by the majority of 57 votes, with mere 5 MKs abstaining and 20, mostly members of the Joint Arab List and the left-wing Meretz party, opposing the extension.
In reaction to the vote, Zehava Galon, the head of the Meretz told Haaretz, "There is nothing more permanent than the temporary. What this Knesset is doing is serving as a rubber stamp to allow one of the disgraces that stains the Israeli books of law. What this bill says is that every Arab citizen becomes a potential terrorist."
The validity of the Citizenship Law has been repeatedly extended ever since its enactment in July 2003. The draft bill proposed by Sharon's administration in 2002 was initially justified as a temporary emergency measure against the upsurge in terrorist attacks within Israel during the Second Intifada.
However, according to Adalah, the Legal Centre for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, the emergency state has long terminated and "the numbers show that the law is totally disproportionate to the security reasons cited in its defence."
"Instead, it is part of Israeli efforts to maintain a Jewish demographic majority. It is a discriminatory, racist law that has no parallel in any democratic state," added Adalah's legal experts.
Adalah, the leading oppositional non-state actor petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court twice in the past, first in 2004 and again in 2006, hoping to revoke the law because it violates the basic human rights and freedoms as anchored in major international conventions.
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, both of which Israel is committed to observe, caution against state interference with one's privacy, family, or home.
Regardless of the strong opposition formed among state and non-state actors in Israel, the OPT and abroad, and in spite of the discrepancies in facts and figures, the law still stands and its consequences are far-reaching.
"In the children's IDs Nuha is not listed as their mother. She can't even take the girls to the health clinic because she doesn't have an Israeli ID proving that she is their mother," says Haythman, Nuha's Israeli husband.
Stories like Haythman and Nuha's are abundant and point to the demographic, rather than security, intentions behind the 2003 Citizenship Law. "We must not be naive: Our aspiration is for a Jewish and democratic nation. I intend on supporting the extension if only to protect ourselves and the character of our country," said Daniel Atar, member of the Zionist Union, during yesterday's vote in the Knesset.

Ford product boss Derrick Kuzak has laid down a mandate saying all newly refreshed Ford products must offer best-in-class fuel economy. With the restyled and repowered 2010 Ford Fusion just around the corner, this mandate obviously falls on the shoulders of Ford's mid-sized offering. The Fusion mileage champ will be fitted with a 2.5-liter four cylinder mated to the 6F35 six-speed automatic transmission we first tested in the 2009 Ford Escape.
Aside from making bold proclamations of "best in class," no actual numbers have been released yet. Given the aero upgrades and new powertrain, better fuel economy can only be expected out the Fusion, but we'll have to see if Ford delivers on its promise. Particularly since best-in-class fuel economy for mid-size sedans is bound to be a rather competitive benchmark in the next few years. [AutoNews Sub. req.]

Last month I decided to join the Beautycounter team because whole body health is REALLY important to me and I wanted to be able to refer my nutrition clients to a reputable company when it came to skincare and beauty. Many of you know about my decades long battle with autoimmune diseases and I want you to know that changing my skincare, make-up, and bodycare products made a huge impact on my health. I realize it is a financial investment to change out all of your products, but you don't need to do so all at once…as you run low on a product replace it with a better alternative.
While Beautycounter is not a "natural" skincare company per se, they are extremely focused on quality and safety when it comes to the ingredients they use. Did you know that,
The European Union bans/restricts nearly 1,400 toxic chemicals, while the United States bans only 11. 2) There has not been a federal law passed governing the personal care industry since 1938. 3) An average woman uses 12 products a day, which can equate to over 100 different chemicals. 4) Of the ingredients in our personal care products, 80% have never been assessed for human safety.
Beautycounter is working tirelessly to change the beauty industry and make it safer for all of us. How often do you hear of a company trying to make the legislation in their own industry more stringent? Beautycounter is working to do just that.
To get safer products into the hands of everyone.
Decades of studies indicate that serious health issues (including but not limited to asthma, cancer, and infertility) are on the rise and are due in some part to our ongoing exposure to toxic chemicals—whether it's in the shower, on our commute, while we eat lunch at a local restaurant, or when we clean our kitchens at home.
- The heart of our movement is safety and performance.
- Our commitment to transparency is unparalleled in this industry.
- With Beautycounter, you know everything that is in your products; we disclose every single ingredient.
- We have the most health-protective ingredient selection process. In addition to adhering to our Never List (the ingredients we have vowed to never use), we evaluate every single ingredient for safety.
- We eliminate the nearly 1,400 ingredients banned in the EU and the 11 banned in the US and our Never List.
- We believe our products are some of the safest on the market and we invite you to sample them tonight.
- We have everything from skin care to body products, color cosmetics, kids products and more.
- I'd be happy to discuss any of your product or ingredient questions and assist you with your selections.
- My favorite product(s) is/are… (share reasons).
Even better news is the fact that the products really work. Since beginning the use of the Beautycounter products I have had several women ask me what I am using on my skin. Some of my favorite products are:
- TOP ROW(left to right) –
- Charcoal Cleansing Bar (great for everyone)
- Glow & Go Mini Oils (you only need 2 drops)
- Rejuvenating Toner Pads (these ROCK!)
- MIDDLE ROW (left to right) –
- Multitasker Mask Trio (a great way to try all 3)
- Instant Eye Makeup Remover (works and DOESN'T sting)
- Countermatch Collection (I use every day)
- BOTTOM ROW(left to right) –
- Citrus Mimosa Body Butter (smells heavenly and is nice and thick)
- Perfect Pout Trio – Nudes (quickly became a favorite)
- Volumizing & Lengthening Mascaras (I use both)
If you plan on doing any holiday shopping on Beautycounter, I want to make you aware of the shipping cut off dates:
Standard Ground (FedEx/DHL): 12/16
Priority (2-day): 12/18
Expedited: 12/19
Standard Rural: 12/1
Expedited Rural: 12/11
Standard Urban: 12/11

You will earn 15% back in product credit for all of your orders, plus free shipping on orders over $100 AND a complimentary gift (when you spend $50+).

I will bring all the products to your home or location of your choice and share this information!

Underpinned by the theory of existentialism, illusio explores the philosophical realm of a subjective reality and its influence on an individual's search for purpose in human existence. Upon taking a closer look inside the life-size doorway, our image stares back at us in the mirror and reminds us that we are the opportunities the world presents. illusio essentially denotes a surreal image of existence – an image so bizarre we are instinctively inquisitive about whether it is merely a mirage or whether it is a tangible reality.

Guest Blogged by Alan Breslauer
The PBS Frontline special,When Teens Get Life, investigates the archaic and cruel dimmension of the American justice system that allows children to be sent to prison for life. Additionally, the documentary provides some insight into how we house the nation's "worst" criminal offenders.
Unfortunately, the limited information provided about the Super Max Colorado State Prison featured in this edited video (8:21) is not reassuring. In fact, there appears to be some startling similarities between the treatment of inmates in the Colorado Super Max and the US prison at Guantánamo Bay. For example, Frontline was not permitted to film inside or outside of the prison or interview any inmates. Video footage of the teen inmate featured in the segment was obtained in 2004 by Human Rights Watch. Inmates are also denied counsel and the right to review testimony used against them in prison proceedings. Evidentiary testimony is considered confidential and is never made available to prisoners. Without counsel, the ability to cross examine witnesses or even see the evidence used against them, it can hardly be said that prisoners have any due process rights. Finally, prisoners at the Colorado Super Max are not assigned release dates.
Why do we have a Constitution?

How I Recover from Family Holidays
I'm going to begin by saying that I dearly love my family. Doesn't everyone love their families? There is nothing better than getting together for holidays and spending time with the people you love, but rarely get to see.
For me this holiday season was extra special because all three of my siblings, and their families, along with my parents, along with my family, were together. This doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's really loud and really fun.
I know they say there is no such thing as too much of a good thing, but I think they (whoever "they" are) may be wrong. At least when it applies to family. No matter how much you love them, and love to spend time with them, there is something so nice about getting back to everyday life. For one thing, it is much quieter.
It seems there is always so much excitement and so many things going on when my family comes to visit that I usually need a vacation from the vacation that I just took to spend time with them. Here are a few things I like to do to help myself relax after so much family fun.
Hang out at home
Take the next weekend after the relatives have all left and just don't do anything. Don't clean the house, don't go cook anything extravagant, and don't make any plans. Just enjoy a low key weekend at home with nowhere to be, nothing to do, and no one to see. The only thing on your to-do list for the weekend is enjoy your own little family.
Have some alone time with your honey
Family get-togethers are great for socializing with loved ones, but not so great for spending any kind of quality time with your spouse. A nice date night with just the two of you is just what the doctor ordered after a week full of screaming kids and half drunk uncles.
Eat normally
When trying to feed massive amounts of people, massive amounts of food is needed. I always seem to eat twice as much when gathering with family than I do on a normal day, not to mention the added alcoholic beverages I tend to ingest that I normally wouldn't. Just getting back into your everyday groove is a great form of recovery.
Go to bed early and/or sleep in
It seems that when family is around there are many late night conversations, or board games, and kids always waking up at the crack of dawn. This leaves little time to keep on my much needed beauty sleep.
Do something by yourself
After spending so much time talking to, and being around multiple family members, I need a few hours, and sometimes even a whole day, by myself to just unwind and hear only myself think for a while.

With only 300 examples planned and a Japan only audience, the Honda Civic Mugen Type-RR is a rare bird indeed. Somehow, those crazy Frenchmen over at Nihon Car managed to get their hands on one for a review of the 236 HP little beast. There are things we like and dislike about this car; foremost in the "like" category is the combination of an adjustable suspension, a 220 lb slimmer waistline, quicker steering ratio, and the guts to chuck the radio out the window.
On the "dislike" side, a measly 15 HP boost over the standard Type-R and no additional torque has us scratching our heads, as does the 100 MPH speed limiter. We're assuming since the cool new trend in Japan seems to be unlocking a performance car's true potential only at a racetrack, there's some sort of GPS enabled cheat code system for race days. Anyway, head on over for the full review and some nice video. [NihonCar]

Hypno's Naptime (スリーパーとポケモンがえり!? Hypno and Pokémon Hypnotism!? ) is the 27th episode of Pokémon: Indigo League.
Arriving at a city, Ash, Brock and Misty soon see that some children are missing and some Pokémon are behaving strange lately. Officer Jenny appears and notices that some sleepwaves may have caused these events to happen. Coming to a mansion, they soon see the source of sleepwaves: Hypno. Misty soon gets influenced Hypno's psychic power and acts as a Seel. Could Drowzee be a solution to these problems?
Episode plot
Ash, Misty, and Brock have arrived in HopHopHop Town. As they walking through the streets, a woman runs up to them yelling, "Arnold!" and gives Ash a big hug. Ash says to the woman that his name is Ash, not Arnold. The woman apologizes and says Ash looks like her son Arnold, who is one of the missing children. The woman explains that several children have gone missing and no one knows why. The woman shows them a wall with pictures of the missing children on it as Officer Jenny puts up a new picture. Brock volunteers to find the missing children. Ash remembers his own mother and he volunteers as well.
All of the missing children have been missing for three days. Ash and his friends go to the Pokémon Center and they start asking about them. Nurse Joy tells them that all of the Pokémon in the center have been losing their energy since three days ago. Officer Jenny's phone starts picking up some sleepwaves as Pikachu starts falling asleep. Ash and his friends head off to find the source of the sleepwaves.
Team Rocket is also looking for the source of the sleepwaves. They are plotting to use it to put their boss to sleep so they can take a vacation. They start crying about how long it has been since they have had a vacation.
Ash and his friends track the sleepwaves to the top of a skyscraper. They go to the top of it on an elevator. They reach the top and find a mansion on top of the skyscraper. They run inside the mansion and find a group of adults and a podium, which a Drowzee and a Hypno are sitting on. The adults explain that their old Drowzee evolved into a Hypno and they are using its sleepwaves to fall asleep easier.
A man explains that they are the Pokémon Lovers' Club and that they love Hypno the most. City life is hard on them and they were working hard to get their Drowzee to evolve so they could use its sleepwaves to sleep better.
However, Brock explains that Hypno's sleepwaves are used mostly on Pokémon and when it tries to use them on people, it causes Pokémon to lose their energy and the waves affect super sensitive kids. Misty is curious about the last part and lets herself be hypnotized by Hypno. Hypno uses Hypnosis and Misty starts acting like a Seel. She then runs out of the mansion and into a park where all of the other hypnotized kids are, who are also acting like Pokémon.
Brock explains that Hypno's waves are making the kids think they are Pokémon. Officer Jenny tries to wake them up, but it doesn't work. The head of the club suggests that they try using Drowzee's sleepwaves to counter Hypno's sleepwaves.
Back in the mansion, Drowzee's waves wake Misty up. Ash carries Drowzee into the park and Team Rocket appears. Jessie pulls out a mirror and tries to get Hypno to hypnotize itself. Ash throws a potted plant and breaks the mirror. Jessie then drops a net, picking up Drowzee and Hypno. James and Meowth ask Jessie why they didn't do this in the first place and Jessie replies "We have to fill the half hour." Staryu cuts the net and Pidgeotto blows Team Rocket away.
Drowzee wakes up the children as the children's parents come in with Officer Jenny. The woman from the beginning of the episode comes up and thanks Ash for finding her son. They take Drowzee to the Pokémon Center and they cure the Pokémon their also. Ash wonders what Pokemon dream about and Brock states that they probably dream about getting stronger and evolution. Misty remarks that she dreams about that too.
Nurse Joy notices a Psyduck is still holding its head. Brock volunteers to take it, but then outside of the center, gives it to Misty because she is a water type Pokémon trainer. When Ash uses his PokéDex to look up Psyduck, it reveals it always has a headache. In anger, Misty falls on the ground, causing one of her Poké Balls to roll out of her bag and Psyduck walks up to it, letting itself be captured.
- "Are you the cousin or second cousin of the Jenny at Maiden's Peak?" - Ash
- "Well actually, I'm her cousin's cousin." - Officer Jenny
- "It figures." - Ash
- "I bet you're related to the Joy at Maiden's Peak." - Ash
- "You'd win that bet." - Nurse Joy
- "What happened?" - Misty
- "Gee Misty, you look kinda beat." - Ash
- "When I want your opinion, I'll ask for it!" - Misty
- "She's back to normal." - Ash
- "Huh?" - Misty
- "Why couldn't we do this before?" - James
- "We have to fill a half-hour." - Jessie
- "You mean this thing always has a headache?" - Misty
- The line "We have to fill a half hour" is one of many cases of breaking the fourth wall in the series.
- Misty also breaks the fourth wall when she responds to the narrator's congratulations at catching Psyduck: "Don't congratulate me!"
- One of the children hypnotized by Hypno wore an outfit similar to that of Tracey Sketchit.
- The book "Psyduck Ducks Out" is based on this episode.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Psyduck.
- The rings in Nurse Joy's hair are colored in when they should have been clear.
- In one scene with Ash, Officer Jenny's motorbike is nowhere to be seen.
- When Misty gets hypnotized by Hypno, she runs out of the mansion into a forest, which contains a lake where all the missing children have gone. At no time have we seen the characters go down an elevator. So we are led to believe that this is all happening on the top of the skyscraper, which we have seen contains a park and a fountain, but no forest or lake.
Dub differences
- Ash remembers his mother and Professor Oak saying goodbye to him and his friends. However, this happened in Beauty and the Beach, an episode which was banned. In the original version, Ash's flashback was from Pokémon - I Choose You!.

The tool has been well received by the community, complementing other approaches. Now, the reason why I blog about these papers now, is that the tool uses the CDK for the cheminformatics parts, which I find really cool. In fact, the project has resulted in good feedback on the CDK. In fact, the project received further funding creating a short-term open position to continue research on enzymatic reactivity of molecules in the cytochrome P450 family, as outlined below.
So, this peer-review is a bit more on the impact of the CDK and SMARTCyp on the academic landscape, than on the content.of the paper.
Patrik Rydberg wrote on the CDK LinkedIn group and the CDK user mailing list about an open post-doc position where CDK expertise is welcomed:
I'm seeking candidates for a post-doc position in applied cheminformatics at the University of Copenhagen. We are working on drug metabolism prediction models, and our results are as far as possible made into open source software based on the CDK. The group has previously developed the SMARTCyp site-of-metabolism prediction software which is based on CDK, and this project aims to extend the scope of our cytochrome P450 project.
Employer: department of medicinal chemistry, faculty of pharmaceutical sciences, University of Copenhagen
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Position: post-doc
Duration: 7 months, starting january 2012
Project: drug metabolism by cytochromes P450
Experiences required:
Machine learning methods
java programming
Bonus for experience in java programming using the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK), experience in development of ligand based virtual screening methods, and experience of work on the cytochrome P450 enzyme family.

Joe Biden is doing everything he can to make sure voters make their voices heard in this year's election, whether by heading to the polls Tuesday or voting early in the states that allow it — and Thursday night, that included an appearance by the vice president on The Late Show with David Letterman. In a pre-taped message recorded along the campaign trail, Biden delivered the show's Top 10 list — Top 10 Reasons to Vote Early.
Among them? "It's vastly more effective than voting late" and, "If you vote early, you don't have to pay taxes." ("I'm sorry ... I'm being told that's not accurate," Biden added to the latter, after a beat.)
But Biden's cameo wasn't all lighthearted. He also offered words of sympathy and encouragement to those who were affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Watch a clip of Biden's Top 10 below:

Ex-judge in Jamaica gets bail after scam charges
A former judge in Jamaica has been released on bail two days after she and three of her employees were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the island's lucrative lottery scam.
Dionne Maylor-Reid is a former resident magistrate. She is now a defense lawyer.
Maylor-Reid was arrested Monday after anti-corruption officers searched her office and alleged they found lottery scam documents called "lead lists" that have victims' personal information. Police say they also seized an illegal gun.
Defense lawyer Lambert Johnson says the former judge is innocent, and he contends she is being set up by someone who is trying to destroy her reputation.
The lawyer says Maylor-Reid was freed on bail of about $2,000 Wednesday.

Real metal construction
The foundation of the MM600 is a solid piece of 3mm thick aircraft-grade aluminum. This provides a level of rigidity and durability that will deliver consistent glide for years.
Choose high speed or precision control
Each of the MM600's two high-quality polymer surfaces has been tuned to deliver distinct glide characteristics. The smooth-texture side produces exceptional high-speed glide, while the heavy-texture side delivers outstanding control.
Optimized for gaming sensors
Microscopic variances in the surface affect mouse tracking far more than its visible texture or color. The MM600 gaming mouse mat uses surface materials that have excellent characteristics for sensors like those found in Corsair's laser gaming mice
Stable and secure
You can't afford for your mousing surface to move in the middle of a firefight, so we molded no-slip rubber corners onto the aluminum frame. They provide maximum grip while minimizing interference with your mouse - no matter how frenetic the action gets.
Solid Aluminum Substructure
Rigid and durable for consistent glide and a long life.
Two distinct types of surface
Choose low-friction or high-control to match your gaming style.
Expert-grade Tracking
Optimal reflective characteristics ensure consistent and precise tracking.
Non Slip Rubberized Corners
Designed for exceptional grip with minimal interference.
