Peter Moore interview on resigning: it's all about family |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: EA Sports, Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Peter Moore, SCEA
Moore, in what may be described as a final farewell, expresses the connection he feels with the Microsoft community, and that while he is sad about leaving Microsoft, he is still excited about joining the EA group. When asked about his reasons for leaving, he answered that it was all about the family:
I do hope I get to continue to interact with the community albeit in a different role but it will be something I miss badly but I hope that people out there understand that family does come first and family's happiness is something that has to be prioritized over everything else. And the selfishness of me wanting to continue in a particular job shouldn't override my wife and my children's desire to get back to the Bay Area where my kids were born, my kids were educated, where I spent most of my American life.
When asked to comment on the recent speculations that Moore is only leaving because of Microsoft's recent headaches, Moore replies that there's absolutely no connection between them. He furthers that his agreement with EA was agreed upon "way before any of the final work was done on the warranty [extension program]."
It is completely and utterly unrelated to anything that's gone on within the business in the last few weeks and it's purely about family, and my family, and a desire to get back to our bay area roots and join a company that I'm excited about but at the same time it's going to break my heart to leave here.
This story sucks? This story rocks! |
A) Think about it, he is taking over the company that stopped supporting his Sega system, forcing Sega to turn into a software company. The DC failed due to his marketing strats and thus shall do the same for EA: make it crumble.
B) His announcement of the warranty extention is what put him in his place. He did the right thing for 360 users, and may continue to do the same for EA, perhaps even bringing EA to better quality heights. His presence should be a big welcome to Sony fanboys since multi-platform games will get a big push.
All in all, there is no loss. I look forward to next year's offerings!

Questions Answered: Steve Martin, President of The Agency Group, North America
What did you wake up thinking about this morning? I woke up this morning looking forward to a six-day break with my wife, son and daughter. We're at my friend's lake house on Long Island. It's been a hectic summer. Right after my first cup of coffee, I got a call from Marc Brickman and Steven Van Zandt, the producers of the Rascals show we had in Toronto.

We headed up here for just for the novelty of being as for north as you go in Europe. It was nice to walk around and see some of the history of the site. I did not dress warm enough despite it being the end of August. Still a beautiful site to see.

One of the ports of call on our Norwegian Fjords and North Cape cruise was Honningswag. It is the gateway to North Cape, a cape off the northern tip of Norway. North cape is claimed to be the most northernmost point of Europe (71 10"21" N). In actuality, the northermost point of Europe is Knivskjellodden, Norway (71 11"48" N), 4900... More
Nordkapp was part of our Scandinavian tour in April 2012. We left the hotel about 11pm and arrived soon after midnight (the place closes at 1am if I am not mistaken). Along the way, we made a stop to a local attraction to take pictures with the reindeer and look at how the local people lived. It is very cold... More
Nordkapp is not in fact the farthest north place in Europe, but is certainly the farthest north place to which you can take a vehicle. And what a long way it is...we flew from Helsinki north to Rovaniemi, and from there drove for days to reach Nordkapp. This area is elementally accessible only during June. Be prepared for long, lonely... More
I visited the North Cape as an excursion while sailing on the MS Finnmarken (Hurtigruten). The entire plateau was covered with snow and I was very fortunate that it was a clear afternoon and the view in every direction seemed endless. The globe structure was wonderful to see in person and of course have someone snap a picture or two... More
although it is not really the most northern point of Europe, this place create you a psychological feeling with his geographic location, the name and story. This "magnetic" place makes you think you're realy on the "end of the world". We arrived here from Tromso by car and all the way up here was resplendent with beautiful landscapes, and herds... More
A most wonderfull experience the views from the cape where spectacular. The visiter centre is very good also the gift shop and resturant.You must visit the kings view and the museum. also make sure you see the vidio show. The coach journey to the cape is about 40 minutes and if you drive by car the road is very good... More
When you visiting north of Norway you need to go to Nordkapp. The route to this place is full of beautifull views and... rendeers :) Entrance to this attraction is quite expensive. Food in the restaurant is also not cheap. It is still Norway, huh? I recommend to see 5 minutes long movie in the cinema placed on Nordkapp.
Really interesting bus journey to the North Cape. The visitor centre is well worth a visit and we had a great breakfast there. The north cape itself was very windy but not cold. The landscape is stunning - very desolate.
Great trip plenty to do and see. Shops expensive, but so is Norway in general. Take warm clothing even in good weather can be very blustery.

Get to know the everyday people who share their personal vacation planning advice and their Disney Parks experiences.
Do you know if Adventures by Disney is stil offering the day trip I believe named Lights Movies Magic where you leave the hotel at 8:30 in the a.m. and see several famouse locations around L.A. i.e. Rodeo Drive, Walt Disney Studios etc.Thank you!
My family is considering adding the Adventures by Disney to our Mediterranean cruise. Will our Adventure Guide be on the Cruise with us the entire time. Or will our guide be different at every port?
Thanks for your help so far! Myself and 3 children staying at AKL Aug/13. 2 girls are 15 and 17 and son is 21. Can you give us ideas for activities that we can do together that my son won't feel too childish or girlie doing? Be as creative as you like!
Hi Lori, my girlfriend and sister are running the marathons.Thank you for answering my question. It looks like we are staying in the Fort Wilderness Cabins. What is the best way for her to get to Epcot for the start of the 1/2 marathon?
Hi there !!!!! Our family are totally crazy about Disney and I would like to know if it is possible to stay one night in the Cinderella Castle suite ???? How much is it ?? Can I make a reservation for it ?? Thank you !!

With all the ranting and raging on the internet over the leaked From Ashes DLC I have a strong feeling that much like Portal 2 and Modern Warfare 3 there will be a lot of users who will go on metacritic and post a bad review out of spite. How big of a gap do you think it will be? I'm gonna say a 6 point difference.

God Damn i love David Jaffe. Although I have never played a Twisted Metal game i still respect that man so much. That was a great article and one that I think paints him not in a better light but a more honest and truthful one.
And also fuck kotaku. its just a website for people who want to be on a soapbox rather than actually have meaningful discussions about games

Come on, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower!
hell yes! already have my preorder for xenoblade chronicles praying to all the demigods in asura's wrath that these games come out here
This is another reason why I support having accountability on the Internet.
This game reminds me of another game that came out recently which was To The Moon. That was also a game where the gameplay was pathetic but it still was an amazing experience because of the story it told and ended up on my top 10 list. This game also looks very simple and dumb in terms of gameplay but that is not the point and as far as conveying the anime feel it was amazing and i loved how over the top and insane it was. Unfortunately Mass Effect 3 comes out in 2 weeks so this game will be on my list and I will buy it in the summer draught
Metal Gear Solid 3 was in my opinion one of the best endings regardless of medium. The twist at the end was not only shocking but emotional and touching and powerful and unlike other MGS games it earns it

I didn't much care for Final Fantasy XIII, so playing through this demo didn't grab me right away. I may go back to one of these games eventually. All of the time travelling stuff in XIII-2 seems pretty insane, so there's that. I'll wait 'til Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning to get my RPG fix.
yeah i agree putting this game out so close to amalur for me is tough because having played the demo i do like it but i am right now more interested in amalur than I am in this. Also i finished FFXIII about 1 month ago so i want some time away from that battle system and world before i go back to it. That being said i did enjoy the demo. There were plenty of little things that they did well. For example whenever you open up a time paradox with Mog people start crowding around it which was nice. I also like the darker tone to it and the characters seem more interesting. I am enjoying the idea of only having 2 characters throughout the entire game because it will allow them to develop them further. Threre is some hokey time lingo in there but overall i thought it was a good demo but i will still spend my $60 on amalur and wait for a price drop on this one.

I want to thank everyone who voted for the Game of the Year categories. This was a long and difficult process but one that I truly enjoyed. It was great to see everyone's nominations and there were some very interesting and varied choices. It is why I love the Giant Bomb community is that we are a group that has a great taste in games but also we have very different opinions and tastes. This process also introduced me to games that were not on my radar before. I thought that this was a great year in gaming and I look forward to coming back next year. Thank you everyone.
Best Story - Portal 2
By the simplest and most reductive definition of story Portal 2 does not deserve the accolade. After all it is nothing but escaping a facility and defeating an evil sentient robot. However, what makes the story of Portal 2 so memorable is the manner in which it is told and the ability for Valve to take what was ostensibly a game in Portal 1 and turn it into a universe with Portal 2. To a large degree this is due to the amazing dialogue and voice work of the supporting cast of Wheatley, GLaDOS, & Cave Johnson (see: Best New Character) who fill out the world and give it personality and context. The retro levels with Cave Johnson were great because they give a great deal of history but more importantly flesh out the personality of Aperture Science and its workers. The betrayal of Wheatley was great not because of how it happened but because of the attachment the player had with him. The alliance with GLaDOS was similarly great because of the history and conflicts the player had with her. The characters give the world of Portal 2 a great sense of identity and while it does tie back to the Half-Life universe they do a great job of making it matter on its own. It tells a funny, touching, and powerful story from start to finish and is your choice for Story of the Year
Runner Up: Bastion
Best Ending - Portal 2
As mentioned earlier the story in Portal 2 is a great, powerful, and emotional story. It also played host to one of the most powerful endings in a game one that conveyed a multitude of emotions from the player. At the beginning is the feeling of retribution as the player confronts Wheatley to shut him down and take back the facility. This turns to fear as Wheatley fights back and floods the chamber with nerve gas giving the situation a sense of urgency. From there the game instills hope as all 3 cores are placed and the core transfer is initiated only to experience shock as the trigger is rigged. Then the game provides what is possibly the biggest HOLY SHIT!!!! moment in any game when you see the ceiling crumble away and the moon visible. Firing that portal at the moon and the scene that followed is one of the biggest moments in games that easily dropped a lot of jaws across the world. This all culminates in the return of GLaDOS to her perennial throne. Finally the player is treated to a joyful, funny, and charming ending in which they are bid farewell by an opera of turrets and a cameo by the Animal King himself and finally are thrust out into the world with their faithful companion cube.
With all that said it still was not enough. Valve continued to one-up themselves by including another harmonious musical piece by GLaDOS that continues to entartain and inform. Finally as the curtain draws we are treated to the final monologue of Wheatley as he regrets his actions. This scene is both touching and hilarious as the space personality core throws his great Internet Meme in the background. Portal 2 is your choice for Best Ending of the Year

The Unsung Game of the Year - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
The Nintendo DS was one of the hallmarks in handheld gaming. It recieved a lot of criticism before its release but since has proven to be one of the most unique and creative gaming devices around. There have been many games that utilized various features of the DS and some did so in some very creative ways. The addition of the DSLite and DSi were excellent that greatly improved the ergonomics of the system and its broad appeal. As the twilight of the DS approach to make way for the 3DS many developers began to move their efforts over to that platform. Thus like many consoles the final batch of games for the DS were substandard at best. One game that was the exact opposite and blew away many gamers was Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. This game was developed by Capcom and led by the same team that gave birth to the Phoenix Wright series. The story follows a man who at the beginning of the game finds out that he is dead and is now a ghost. However, he finds that he can possess objects in the world and interact with them. He uses these powers to save people who are being assassinated an can possess the body of the victims to go back in time and prevent their murder.
Like many DS games there is a very unique gameplay experience found here. Players can move back in time to see how a situation develops and then interact with objects in the environment to alter the path of players or point them in certain directions or distract the assassins giving the victims a chance to escape. As the game progresses there is increasing complexity of the puzzles and they become a Rube Goldberg experience of creating a chain reaction effect of objects in the world. It is very fun to play and much like any good puzzle game the satisfaction of finally solving a puzzle is very high. This is also backed up by great story, funny interesting character, silky smooth animation, and a phenomenal soundtrack. Unfortunately Ghost Trick was lost in the archives of the DS as both gamers and Nintendo themselves began to prepare for the upcoming 3DS. However, Ghost Trick is a fantastic game and a fitting swan song for one of the best handheld devices around.

Most Disappointing Game - Dragon Age II
For those old enough to remember Bioware was one of the leading developers in Western RPGs back in the 90's. They did a fantastic job of transitioning the D&D formula to the video game community with the release of games like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. They then went on to go to other franchises and new ideas and while these titles were fantastic (Mass Effect, KOTOR) there was a wish from the fans for a return to that style of RPG. This wish was fulfilled with the release of Dragon Age: Origins. While the game featured a setting that was very familiar to the fantasy world it was the strategic, challenging gameplay and team based combat that was critically acclaimed by both fans and critics. Naturally there was a desire to expand and improve on these features for the sequel.
Dragon Age II launched less than 2 years after the original game and featured a big departure from the original. This departure made the game quite polarizing. While the story and visuals were improved, there were many choices made by Bioware that fans did not like at all. The combat while it was faster and more visceral was not as tactical and broke down into a button mashing game that did not require and tactical skill or teamwork. Also the setting was significantly smaller and had a much smaller impact on the world than the original game. Lastly was the design of the game. While the main quests were fun to do, the side quests were repetetive and the design of the dungeons were exactly the same giving players very little incentive to do them. Dragon Age II is still a good game and a lot can be attributed to Bioware's short development cycle and need to broaden its audience but the result is a game that fails to live up to the high expectations set by the original making it the most disappointing game of 2011

Many Bridges in Ohio Rundown, Need Repairs
TOLEDO (AP) -- Most of the bridges across Ohio that are considered both "structurally deficient" and "fracture critical" are on routes that cross creeks and rivers in rural parts of the state.
Only two are on Ohio's interstate highways.
An Associated Press review of national bridge records finds that nearly 8,000 bridges around the country are in need of rehabilitation or replacement and could be at risk of collapse if a single, vital component fails.
That includes about 420 bridges in Ohio.
State transportation officials say dozens of those bridges have been replaced or closed recently, leaving about 380 that are both "structurally deficient" and "fracture critical."
An Ohio Department of Transportation spokesman says bridges with both of those red flags are still safe for motorists but may need extra care.

Veronica Guerin -- An Irish journalist is assassinated by drug dealers she wrote about in a series of stories.

In the mid-1990s, Dublin was nothing short of a war zone, with a few powerful drug lords battling for control. Their most fearsome opponent was not the police but the courageous journalist Veronica Guerin (Cate Blanchett), who covered the crime beat with unmatched intensity. As she investigated and exposed the "pushers," balancing her home and family against her responsibility to her readers and her country, she became a national folk heroine to the people of Ireland; each attempt on her life only galvanized her legend. Her brutal murder in 1996 forced a dramatic revision of Ireland's laws and led to the arrests of the nation's top criminals. Based on a true story, this powerful, emotional film from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of "Pearl Harbor" and "Black Hawk Down," and director Joel Schumacher ("Bad Company," "A Time to Kill," "Falling Down," "Tigerland"), gives unique insight into a fascinating and complex aspect of the Irish conflict and a poignant portrayal of a journalist who risked her life in search of the truth.
True story of Veronica Guerin, a complex, ego-driven Irish newspaper journalist whose stories on Dublin drug dealers led to confrontations with the underworld - and her eventual murder. With Ciaran Hinds.
The true story of a journalist who exposes Dublin's most powerful crime barons and drug lords.

Domenico Scarlatti
Domenico, the son of the famous composer of vocal music Alessandro Scarlatti, was born in the same year as J.S. Bach and G.F. Handel. At age 15 he secured an appointment as organist in Naples. In 1703 his first operas, L'Ottavia restituita al trono and Il Giustino, were produced there. In 1705 his father sent him away from Naples to Venice, reputedly to study with the composer Francesco Gasparini. While in Venice, Scarlatti may have met a young Irishman, Thomas Roseingrave, who many years later described Domenico's harpsichord playing to the English musicologist Charles Burney as sounding as if "ten hundred d…s had been at the instrument; he had never heard such passages of execution and effect before." Scarlatti may have also formed a friendship with Handel while in Venice. By the spring of 1709 Scarlatti had taken over his father's position in Rome as musical director and composer to the exiled queen Maria Casimira of Poland. Until her departure in 1714, he composed a series of operas and occasional pieces, all of them on texts by the queen's secretary, Carlo Sigismondo Capeci. Some of the music has survived, but, were ... (200 of 1,822 words)Early life and vocal works: Italy

Low-cost Singapore airlines launches child-free quiet zone on flights
Melbourne, Aug 24 : Singapore-based low-cost long-haul airline Scoot has become the latest carrier to ban children from part of a plane, with passengers able to pay to upgrade to the quiet zone.
The low-cost carrier, which flies to Sydney and the Gold Coast from Singapore, has banned under 12s from rows 21 to 25 of its aircraft, theb Daily Telegraph reported.
Passengers can upgrade to the 41-seat ScootinSilence cabin from 18 dollars.
The cabin also has more legroom than the rear section of the plane and a 35 inch seat pitch - four inches more than in economy.
Another budget Asian carrier AirAsia X, which flies to Australia from Malaysia, also banned babies from sections of its planes in February.

India captain MS Dhoni. Photo: AFP
PUNE: Indian skipper MS Dhoni admits he won't exactly know what to do with himself when Sachin Tendulkar walks away from international cricket next month.
Tendulkar has not just been a constant during Dhoni's elevation to the top of Indian cricket - he's been a constant during the wicketkeeper-batsman's entire history with the sport.
Dhoni was just eight years old when Tendulkar made his Test debut in 1989, and admits life won't be the same without the Little Master to call upon.
Tendulkar will draw the curtain on his astonishing career when he chalks up his 200th Test match in a two-match home series against the West Indies next month.
"Of course it will be an end of an era," Dhoni said on Saturday, ahead of the series-opening one-day clash in Pune on Sunday.
While admitting that he never wanted to see Tendulkar pull the pin, he is glad at least that the 40-year-old has been able to have the final say - rather than be axed from the team by selectors.
"I am very happy he had such a fantastic career and also for the fact that he retired on his own terms," Dhoni said.
"At the same time at some corner of your heart there is a feeling that you won't see him playing for the international team or any form of cricket.
"That's the only thing I am disappointed about."
Above all, Dhoni praised Tendulkar for maintaining his stellar standards for such lengthy periods - all while under the gaze of cricket-obsessed India.
"When you are top batsman for your side for a considerable period of time, everyone scrutinises your performance, when you score or not score runs," Dhoni said.
"I think there was plenty he had to deal with apart from cricket, cricket of course was his passion."
Meanwhile the man of the match from Thursday's Twenty20 win over Australia, Yuvraj Singh, sat out an optional training session on Saturday but Dhoni insists he is fit to play.

Also with lunging she has now decided that its no fun and just stands there. I will freely admit that my lunging skills are basic at best, any horse I have lunged in the past has obviously known what to do and there was no problem. I have lunged her successfully in the past and had her going from walk to trot and then back to walk and halt. If I had a round pen it would probably be easier but have to lunge in the paddock for now. To stop her from thinking that it will get her out of working I trot her alongside for a good ten minutes but its killing me! Although a great work out
Any tips would be welcome!

The only downside as I see it with soft luggage is security (when you want to leave the bike for a short while). The only thing to do here is to take the thing with you. I swear by good old leather saddle bags but the modern alternative seems to be a HUGE single bag tied down on top of the seat with bungee's. Same old story - The manufacturers who make these things are being too GREEDY. They simply aren't worth what they are demanding...

I use H&B panniers and I completely agree it's not all about get-offs or security of your gear. I see the H&B panniers as portable furniture. Yes that's right, I travel Two-Up and it's nice to take off the panniers and use them as seats in the middle of nowhere. I can't do that Indian squat thing for more than a few minutes. My other major consideration was water proof. I don't want to have to worry about all my gear, getting soaked. As far as security goes no pannier is 'safe'. If a thief wants to get in then they will find a way. Every luggage option is a compromise - no matter what other travelers say you need to assess your needs and budget against your travel style and the climate location you'll be traveling. What goes for travel in Outback Australia isn't true for Europe or freezing Siberia. Oh and if you like stickers - can't beat smooth alu surface

My personal choice is a GIVI top box (excellent security, as tough as they come - only problem is that big heavy mass acting as a pendulum on corrugated road surfaces, subframes DO bend), underseat storage (secure, invisible and I get 50+ litres with my Burgman), and soft luggage for the rest (throwover panniers if I have a passenger, or a simple canvas bag on the seat if I don't).

Soft bags work ok.
I have traveled with soft bags after having issues with the spendy aluminums. The spendy aluminum ones tended to rattle and leak water and dust. Went to Ortlieb soft bags that are totally water and dust proof and added a second bag for tools. Taken a few spills with softbags and just pick up the bike and get going. Security??? No place is totally safe. Keep an eye on things and sleep with the bags. This photo was in Chile. I think they look as nice as twisted aluminums.....
Soft is best in tough conditions.
I have ridden my strom off road more than most to know. It is not really an off road bike. My take on panniers and I have tried most is. If road you are traveling is mostly tar. It does not matter whether you use hard or soft..
If the road/ track is hard going. Then soft is the way to go. With hard panniers you need to have them tightly packed to stop your valuables destroying themselves. Steel pony soft luggage after couple of desert crossings. |
Horses for courses
IMHO I can see the merit of both soft luggage and panniers.
If I was going to ride on soft or muddy surfaces where the risk of tipping over was considerably higher then I would change my hard luggage (H&B Standard Alu) to soft or at the very least consider the risks and financial strain. I also think that most people that use hard luggage (alu or other) don't consider how much they might fall off, they don't want to consider the worst case scenario and what it would mean to fix the bike if like with Touring Ted's photos, the bike was always rubber side up... oops No harm meant So I've come up with this formula to help provide some direction to other's in their buying decision. Choose Soft luggage if: (Riding time on soft surface > 200 metres)For all else choose hard luggage. I've made the following assumptions based on the above.
if there are any computer programmers interested in the formula in say C or VB code just flick me a PM. (Oh and yes I have a serious case of mondayitis!!! )

Lovely Day in the Congo
Here's my thoughts on Hard panniers............ entitled 'A lovely day in the Congo' BEWARE.... lots of swearing..!
YouTube - RideFar's Channel I have hard panniers on my Tenere as they came with the bike but for any decent tour I'm going with hard top box and soft panniers. Saves on the 'ammering an mendin' LOL!
Geoffshing 'Security is a product of one's own imagination, it does not exist in nature as a rule, life is either a daring adventure or nothing.' |
And it wasn't even soft surface
See my reference to "< 3 years riding experience" above. I tell you that formula works!
WTF. Does anyone else find it strange that he had a hammer, as if predicting that he would need it to bang the panniers back into shape??!! Maybe shyte pannier makers (not mentioning any names TT) should also make some kind of quick release when coming off so as to soften the fall, oh whoops sorry my bad they already do that, it's called poor quality frames.
TurboCharger + Francois (our BMW R1200gs) '07 www.riding2up.net, blog.riding2up.net |
That pretty much sums it up. Take pannier, and you take to much. Simple really. Turns a poor off road rider into a worse off road rider.
Tacos Tyring Travels.blogspot.com |
I have to agree. The photo above was taken in the middle of the Birdsville track. All up kit weight including 4L of water and 3 days of food and gear for a month living off the bike weighed just over 20kg. My empty caribous panniers weigh 16kg
Yeah, bought those Steel Ponies as well. Thought it would be good to keep the COG down. Made some small lightweight racks for them. Took them on a weekend away and the weight still pissed me off. Just couldn't throw the bike around the way I wanted to. Just ruined a weekend ride. So stripping all those racks of it, I figured, those crashbars might as well go. The engine craddle crashbar might as well go. But than the plastic panels concerned me. So I figure, why stop now. Might as well strip the lot and replace with easy to use and lightweight stuff.
Tacos Tyring Travels.blogspot.com |
I'm convinced it was those daft, heavy expensive panniers that made my bike "fall over" as much as it did. They totally f**K up the handling and weight distribution. You can never bring them as forward (Centre of gravity) as soft bags and they weight a good 15-20Kg before you've even filled them with crap. As soon as I swapped them for softbags (on the same trip), I was away like a Paris - Dakar racer.. |
I got some ortlieb panniers, they aren't that big, but that means i take less crap. 100% waterproof and only cost me £100 in the sale.
Wolfman Racks and Softbag Panniers Rock!
Figured I'd add my thoughts on this topic as well, being that I've gone the route of the softbags in lieu of the WAYYYYYYY over-priced, and overweight metal boxes that, as many have said in this thread, are just not really worth it.
I have a friend that has done London to Beijing, Pan-American Highway, the Trans-American Trail, Prudhoe Bay to Chile, and next year is doing the London to Capetown ride (most all with Globebusters). He swears by Metal Mules. He swears I shouldn't waste my money on Jesse's (too heavy), or TT's (not strong enough), or BMW's (just junk), or any other form of metal pannier as "they all leak." That's his primary reason. He also owns the BMW dealership, so he can eat the cost of shipping on his Metal Mules, and if something does happen, he'll probably warranty them. Who knows. I did the only thing rational in my mind...I didn't listen to a word he said, and instead, did what I think makes the most sense. I bought the Wolfman Expedition Dry Saddle Bags along with the Wolfman Rack system made for the bags. Then I got a couple of the Wolfman dry duffel bags and some Rox Straps and that's all I've ever needed. The bags stay dry. They don't weigh much at all. They, unlike metal panniers, can accommodate different shapes and sizes. If they're not full, they don't destroy whatever is in them. They don't get destroyed in a fall. I can add fuel, water, etc to the racks with the Roto Pax system. I don't lose much in the way of bike handling since they're really so light, you don't notice they're even there after a short while riding with them. I can stack and pack much more than any pannier system can take, and I don't have change out my silencer just to accommodate the rack. If one gets damaged, some duct tape will hold until I hit a place where I can apply a more permanent fix (stitching!). The whole kit cost me about the same as 1 metal pannier...without whatever rack is required for whatever pannier it is. I can buy 3 or 4 more COMPLETE sets for the price of 1 set of metal panniers and rack! So, I just don't see why anyone would even bother with metal panniers. I hear one decent argument from another rider I ride with, in which he said "what about your laptop?" Well, I put that in a small plastic pelican case (not the big 5inch thick one...think laptop sleeve thickness) underneath my duffel if I know I'm going offroad. If i'm not going off road, it goes in my duffel at the bottom, where it's strapped to my rack...that part of the bike will never hit ground, get wet (it's in a waterproof bag), and with proper strapping, it's not going to move around at all. So far, not a single problem with my laptops. So, I'm not sold on the great marketing and cool pictures or looks of the metal panniers, and I never will be. I can carry as much or more, with a fraction of the cost in both dollars and weight, so why bother? I haven't added the Wolfman Crashbar Panniers...which are really cool too and provide that much more room. Those are next. Here's a pic of my last trip I took between Christmas and New Years of 2011. It was a road-only (back roads, little gray lines, no highways) trip, so no real off-roading, hence the clean bike. Oh, and it rained the whole trip, hence the rain suit. But, alas, everything was as dry as when I put it in! F*ck metal panniers...don't get sold on the marketing!! They're not what they appear to be. Cheers...and have a great and safe 2012!~ |

It is a huge variety of beauty products!!! I put a lot of my favorite Avon products in here that I use every day, just because I think they're great and wanted to share with you all. :) I'm including some closeup pics too.
Bug Guard wipes, because who in the world couldn't use those?? They're in little packages, so you can throw them in your purse. Some philosophy moisturizer, the Body Shop Coconut anti-bac (smells SOOOO good!!), and everyone loves BBW Paris Amour!
I use both of these every single day. The eye makeup remover is the best I've ever used. It doesn't sting my eyes at all. And these wipes are amazing! They don't burn my sensitive skin, and they are super moistened. I've used some other wipes before that felt so dry I actually had to wet them a little, but these are perfect!

Was able to fit both of their pictures on one side and used the other side for the party specifics. Liked the "casualness" of the card. Looked fun yet classy. Both seniors approved my choice Considering I had a male and a female to appease. I procrastinated too long so had to pay for expedited shipping. Mercy pleased with my order and would use them again"
"I chose studio basics for a graduation invitation that I needed to turn around quickly without sacrificing style, and wow, did I hit the jackpot. The design was sleek and elegant and the personalization with four photos made the high school graduation invitation a memento for recipients and my family."
"We were very pleased with the quanity of variety and ease of creating our own casual graduation announcement. We wanted something fun, that expressed the personality of our graduate and tinyprints gave us several options. The quality of our finished product exceeded our expectations. We will definitely consider tinyprints for future special occasions."
"The cards were much nicer than I expected. The cardstock is heavy and matte-very high quality. I have received wonderful feedback from everyone who has seen them!"
"I haven't sent out the Graduation invitiation but I can only say that on 3 different occasions on the day I felt I had to get the card ordered that all TinyPrint staff members were helpful, knowledgeable and creative. One of the first members I dealt with I believe that was Daniel who was able to take the picture of my daughter which happened to be with her younger sister and crop it and take her out of the picture so I had a solo shot of the graduate. The picture turned out amazing. I have used your company for the last 2 years for Christmas cards and I can only say all my cards going forward will be from tiny prints. Again, thank you and your staff. They can answer any question and are most pleasant on the phone."

Enrollment grew 61 percent
Friday, August 31, 2012
Media Contact: Traci Peterson, Office:817-272-9208, Cell:817-521-5494, email@example.com
A new Chronicle of Higher Education list of the nation's fastest-growing public research universities puts The University of Texas at Arlington at No. 6, recognizing a more than 61 percent increase in enrollment from Fall 2000 to Fall 2010.
The University, which had a Spring 2012 enrollment of nearly 33,500, was the highest ranked University of Texas System school on the Chronicle's survey of public research institutions.
"We've worked hard over the past decade to make UT Arlington a destination for top-quality students and world-class faculty," said UT Arlington President James D. Spaniolo. "Our university community is not only larger, but more vibrant and engaged than ever."
Improved recruiting and the expansion of online degree programs have fueled UT Arlington's growth in recent years. Efforts to bolster the University's role in the community include the opening in 2012 of the $78 million College Park Center, a 7,000-seat special events center, and the College Park district, an $80 million mixed-use development that accommodates 600 students in a residence hall and apartments.
The list of fastest-growing campuses is part of the Chronicle's Almanac of Higher Education 2012. It is available at www.chronicle.com.
The University of Texas at Arlington is a comprehensive research institution in the heart of North Texas. Visit www.uta.edu to learn more.
The University of Texas at Arlington is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.

When We Do It, Itĺs OK
Smoking Mirrors ľ December 3, 2007
Switched on CNN for two minutes to see the headline ticker and they were having the headlines update before going to Amanpourĺs hatchet job on Vladimir Putin; commercial in constant playů Putin evil... yack ůyacků yack. What did I see? - ůtiming is everything. Hugo Chavez is claiming that CNN was calling for his assassination based on Ĺmistakesĺ made by CNN in their broadcasting. They actually said that, ômistakesö but no explanation. Iĺll just bet whatever it was, was an accident; no way did the alien life forms over at Time Warner send down a memo to make a mistake. I donĺt know what the mistake was but it must have been one. These kinds of people donĺt admit to mistakes unless someone has Polaroids and DNA and not then either.
The gangsters in charge donĺt like Chavez the same way they didnĺt like Castro. They donĺt like Ahmanedijad and they didnĺt like Saddam or Bin Laden; after liking them both a whole lotů Now theyĺre both goneů None of these men are the same as any of these other men except in one respect; they didnĺt knuckle under for our corporate dime. They didnĺt play the game. Itĺs the same as the democracy thing. We donĺt like it when people donĺt have democracies. Right now we are spreading it around the globe- our way. Even if you have a democracy we donĺt like it unless itĺs done our way, just ask the Palestinians what happened to their democratically elected leaders.
Putin has an 80% favorability rating. Whatĺs Bushĺs favorability rating? Putin and Chavez were legally elected; Bush has yet to be legally elected except in Texas. Chavez also has wide support among his people. On and on the news hammers at them, throwing up waves of innuendo and lies. Who controls these airwaves and why donĺt they like Putin and Chavez? It couldnĺt be because of Putinĺs position on Iran and Russiaĺs new economic ascendance could it? It couldnĺt be because of Chavezĺs opposition to US control and exploitation of the southern Americas could it? Cui Bonoů What were we up to in the Ukraine and Georgia? What are we up to in Columbia as regards Venezuela?
Chavez is asking his people on Sunday if they would like him to be their leader for a longer period. This may sound like democracy in action but itĺs not, even if it is, because itĺs not our kind of democracy. Besidesů the poor like him and the rich hate him. Now it appears that the referendum has been defeated. The comment from Chavez was that democracy in Venezuela is ômaturingö; positively dictatorial.
In America you have free speech- unless we donĺt like it. You have the freedom of assembly, as long as itĺs a mile away behind a chain link fence. You can vote for your president and he will be the president unless we donĺt like it and then weĺll rig the votes and send the decision to our homeboys in the court; if itĺs closer than we wanted.
Itĺs a funny thing about how the land of the free has more people in prison than anywhere else. Itĺs a funny thing how the land of opportunity has more homeless people than anywhere else except in the countries where we are making people homeless while we bring them democracy. Itĺs a funny thing about how we have so much crime.
We hated Castro. We had people working over time on ways to kill him; poison his cigars and other things. Castro was stirring up trouble all through Latin America and getting in the way of United Fruit, Anaconda, AT&T and Coca Cola and all our democratically protected corporations that had the unalienable right to hire workers for two bananas and a Coke a day. So we had to go down to Central America and other places and kill tens of thousands of poor people so that we could make them safe for democracy. We cooked up a Ĺdrugs for armsĺ cartel and all kinds of neat little solutions for their own good.
I donĺt see where Castro killed nearly as many people as we did but Iĺm sure we can tell you that we have proof that he did but you canĺt see it.
Saudi Arabia is a good friend of ours but they donĺt have anything like a democracy, which is okay because it is our kind of a democracy. I like how democracy rhymes with hypocrisy. It doesnĺt rhyme with irony but it does sleep in the same bed.
When youĺve got the power you can make anything be anything you want. England practiced brutality on the Irish for hundreds of years and when the IRA came along to resist that then they became terrorists. They objected to the treatment they were getting and that wasnĺt acceptable. They are still called terrorists todayů but not by me.
Then it turned out that a lot of those IRA bombing were done by British intelligence; just like the bombings in Iraq; why they caught a couple of boyz in the hood in Basra, red-handed in the act and the Brits had to send tanks in to get them away from the people whose country they had invaded to protect them from something or other. The British are our friends.
Iĺm reading The History of Rome by Titus Livius at the moment. I see a lot of parallels and Iĺm learning again the things I learned a long time ago and that is that nations can get along or not get along depending on what any nation has and what any other nation wants and who is running that country. Leaders can do the right thing or the wrong thing according to who they actually serve.
Weĺve killed over a million Iraqis and made another four million homeless. We look the other way when children are murdered in Palestine and the people starved into submission. We slander countries that donĺt go along with our desire to attack sovereign nations under false pretenses. We threaten and blackmail and twist arms. If someone else were doing this it would be wrong. When we do it, it is okay.
Our friends in England murdered a whole lot of Chinese (of course, thereĺs plenty of them) so that they could sell them opium. Imagine that. They went into India and a lot of other places to rape and pillage and they made the world understand the meaning of ĹBritish Justiceĺ. Of course, a few hundred years ago they used to hang nine year old boys for stealing a loaf of bread. They distinguished themselves in Africa and continue to. Whatever they do, its okay when they do it. Australia and Canada are supposed to be sovereign nations so why do they build their governments around the celebration of the English queen? Sometimes it looks like royalty is right where it always was only now its called democracy. And I guess it is a coincidence that Bush is related to the royal family.
You canĺt piss in my ear and make me think itĺs rain. You canĺt make me believe you instead of my lying eyes. I realize itĺs a fault I have and a problem for those who insist I be otherwise. There are more people like me than one might suspect, given what goes on every day. I donĺt know when the populations of the world will get a clue. Youĺd think they would make the connection between their hardships and the people responsible. Youĺd think they would know who was in their corner but they donĺt. I donĺt see any more of that news about Chavez this morning. Maybe there wonĺt be any more mention.
As long as people are determined to put their interests above the interests of their fellows there will always be a waiting line to serve in the Court of the Conqueror Worm. As long as you are with us it will be okay whatever you do. The media will say so and history will record it as so. There are a lot more Oliver Northĺs at work today than there were before.
Youĺre going to have to decide for yourself where you are about the way things are. Every single day you make decisions that are a matter between you and your conscience. The strangest thing is that Ĺweĺ are collectively stronger than Ĺtheyĺ will ever be. As we have seen, a single person can change the dynamics of an entire nation. Nelson Mandela comes to mind as an obvious example. There are others. I often wonder why there are so few. You would think there would be more.
Sometimes I lie in bed and I can hear people crying far away. Itĺs almost like the music that the wind makes at my window. I can hear laughter too. There isnĺt anyone close enough to me to make any of these sounds but I can hear them. You have to wonder how people can be so far away from the voice of their own heart when it is so close to them.

Apple is struggling with its maps since last year. The Apple maps are not praised by users. In order to gain expertise in maps apple just had bought two expertise map start-ups, HopStop and Locationary. HopStop is an application used to get directions, traffic delays and navigation from one place to another where as other application Locationary, is specialized in mapping data according to website. Apple introduced apple maps last year. After being promoted apple maps on large scale the company didnt got good response for the same. The software was full of bugs and usually navigated users to wrong directions.
HopStop was launched in 2005 and it is much like Waze ,the Isareli startup bought by the Google last month.

ARCADIA — Two brothers were shot dead in the street of Arcadia by rival gang members Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
Two men shot, killed in Oklahoma town
Oklahoma County Sheriff John Whetsel said he was the first on the scene in the shooting deaths of Donald Scott, 34, and Diallo Scott, 39.
Both men belong to an Oklahoma City set of the Bloods street gang, he said.
What is thought to have started as a domestic incident ended when both men were shot in the back about 5 p.m. in the 100 block of W Fourth Street, Whetsel said.
Two suspects have been identified as members of a Crips set — one man from Arcadia and the other from Texas — but their names were not released.
The suspects are thought to be traveling in a white 1992 Chevrolet Impala with a Texas plate, Whetsel said.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
