Harman International Group has always remained successful in making their special place among the audio companies. And why not, the group holds the maximum number of audio companies and has even managed to maintain a separate identity for each of them, be it the utility, application or target audience. For instance, JBL is mainly targeted towards young and enthusiastic audiophiles, Lexicon and AKG has a dedicated following among industry professionals and Revel is all about home audio. Here, we review Revel's Concerta HT speaker package for our home theatre special. Out of the Box At first glance, most of you would be slightly confused about the exact application of this particular package, and so were we. But it turned out that the Concerta speaker package, comprising M10 (fronts), C10 (centre), M8 (surrounds) and the B120 (subwoofer) components is an on wall speaker package. For those who wouldn't consider speakers hanging off their walls, Revel has made provisions for stands, so that they can also be used as an in-room set-up. In fact, the arrangement allows the fronts, i.e. the M10s, to be at three different heights to accommodate an audiophile's preference. We like that! There is no doubt that the speakers are aesthetically appealing for their sleek and slender form that comes across as flawless. The Revel Concerta M10 Towers (Fronts) Technology The real test of an HT speaker package is to make you feel that the action taking place on your TV screen is happening around you. It is not just about generating sound for each action that you see, but the trick is to make it sound as if it is coming from one single source. Manufacturers have tried numerous methods to achieve this by incorporating different loudspeaker designs, shapes, and build material into the speakers. Similarly, Revel has also made sure that the entire Concerta speaker package works in tandem with each other. The drivers in all Concerta on-wall woofer, mid-range and tweeter diaphragms are constructed of Micro Ceramic Composite (MCC), a material specially created by anodising both sides of an aluminium core. Anodising both sides of an aluminium core adds strength and stiffness—although very little weight—exactly the properties that we all look for in an ideal speaker driver. In addition, the drivers are housed in rigid aluminium enclosures that lend the speakers more stability and sturdiness. The B120 subwoofer also incorporates MCC for the 12-inch woofer that it houses. The driver boasts of a 1.5-inch peak-to-peak excursion and 250W amplifier. The Revel Concerta C10 Center Speaker A huge 2-inch in diameter copper voice coil on a Kapton bobbin, along with sophisticated cooling further contributes to the impressive power handling. The spider incorporates a superior-strength Nomex/cotton blend with optimized geometry for increased linearity. For the speaker cabinets, they have opted to go for the regular MDF with extensive internal bracing that comes in handy to reduce cabinet-induced colourations. And to add to the ease of use, the B120 comes with adjustable controls, parametric room equalization and multiple connection options as well. Performance With the help of the elaborate manual that comes along with the Concerta speaker package, you can adjust the height of the M10 by yourself. However, you need experienced hands to follow the instructions given with the diagrams. Once you are through the installation, placing them isn't an issue as the light weight of the speakers make it easy to manoeuvre them around the place. The only hindrance is the weight of the B120 subwoofer, because it is mighty heavy, weighing approximately 23kg. Ensure you have an extra hand, while you shift this one. Quite exhausted after we finally got the subwoofer in place, we immediately parked ourselves on the couch with some action packed Blu-rays, like 'Captain America' and 'Green Lantern', to see what the Revel Concerta speakers had in store for us. The Revel Concerta M8 Surrounds The Concerta speaker package in our studio provided us with a surprising blend of sounds that we had never heard before. The trick was the sleek, slender and very fast satellite used with the bulky subwoofer. While the satellites were instrumental in bringing out the speed and energy required in the sound while watching an action-packed movie like 'Captain America', the weight and the expanse of the B120 provided the necessary depth in the sound. A characteristic that we noticed here was that the bass, though very deep and engulfing, wasn't 'boomy' or overshadowing. In fact, it was very much in sync with the fast movement of the satellite, making us truly believe that we were part of everything that we were watching on the screen. With 'Green Lantern' and later 'Transformers: Dark Of The Moon', it got even better as the package was able to convey the urgency and magnitude of all the sounds in tandem with the visuals that we could see on the screen with utmost accuracy and detail. In 'Green Lantern', the fight between Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) and Sinestro (Mark Strong) was simply a treat to watch. While the characters wrecked each other all around on the screen, we could feel their presence in our studio, as if they were throwing each other on our walls. This again was particularly possible because of the very fast and highly directive nature of the satellites, courtesy the unique ceramic composite drivers. The Revel Concerta B120 Subwoofer Put in any sound FX oriented movie and we are sure that the Revel Concerta will not disappoint you. While the package thoroughly impressed us for its sonic abilities in a surround sound experience, the set-up wasn't able to strike the chord in a stereo set-up. This was the only time when we thought that some more bulk and body in the M10s would have been helpful. Its sleek and slender form factor did not really help the speakers reinforce the lower end, resulting in a slightly incomplete sound. But once you rope in the subwoofer, it will definitely sound complete. Verdict/Price in India Priced at around Rs. 2, 00,000, the Revel speaker package does seem steep. Once you consider the following features - strong build quality extending its longevity, the overall aesthetic appeal, ease of use, and finally the splendid surround sound performance of the Concerta HT, they make it worth the splurge. We did, however, have a concern that was related to the versatility of these speakers, as they did not fare well in a stereo set-up. But, if you are essentially looking for the best surround sound experience, then the Revel Concerta speaker package is the apt choice to make, nevertheless.

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There's a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they're buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn't fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.
7 - 8
Product with this rating is highly recommended because it's priced sensibly, has a good set of features and performs well.
9 - 10
Exceptionally excellent product with features and performance unlike any we've seen in the past. A must-have for everyone!

Next tie 31 January-2 February 2014 USA has featured in the World Group first round every year since 1989 and will return for another crack at the top tier with a home tie against Great Britain in 2014. Last tie 5-7 April 2013 USA suffered a quarterfinal defeat to Serbia at the Taco Bell Arena in Boise, Idaho in a tie that centred around the key doubles rubber. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic eased past John Isner in the opening rubber before Sam Querrey rallied to a five-set win over Viktor Troicki to draw the hosts level. Bob and Mike Bryan had been expected to put Jim Courier's men 2-1 ahead, but Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac stunned the twins by winning the fifth set of their encounter 15-13 to give Djokovic the chance to put Serbia into the semifinals with victory over Querrey. He duly delivered, albeit after suffering an injury scare when he went over on his ankle in the second game of the match, determinedly taking his country over the line with a 75 67(4) 61 60 triumph. History USA are the most successful nation in Davis Cup history, having been crowned champion on 32 occasions. The Americans hold the record for consecutive wins, having notched 17 victories without defeat between 1968 and 1973. USA won the inaugural Davis Cup back in 1900.

The D.C. Everest Band Boosters are hoping this will be their "Get Out of Jail Free Card." In hopes of getting some extra cash to support their bands, they've put together "Everest-opoly."
As you guessed it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a local take on the classic board game, "Monopoly." The game will feature Weston, Schofield, and Rothschild businesses around the game board. Not only will you be able to enjoy this collector's item with your family and friends, more importantly you'll be giving kids the gift of music.
The band boosters are hoping to raise $10,000.
The band director, Ted Aarrestad, says they have many instruments that need to be replaced due to age - and that can be pretty pricey. To put it into perspective, Aarrestad says instruments range from $1,500 and up. They are in the process of completing their Timpani Set - which in total will cost $12,000 to $13,000. Aarrestad says they try to buy bigger instruments that kids can't afford.
If you'd like to pre-order your "Everest-opoly" game call (715)359-6348.
Also, they are still in need of three more business sponsors from the Weston, Rothschild, and Schofield areas. It costs $250 to have your business' name on the board. Individual families can get involved as well. You and your family's name could be listed in the middle of the board for a donation of $50. If you'd like to be a sponsor please call (715)359-6348 by Friday, Oct. 5th.
"Everest-opoly" is expected to be ready by Christmas.

Hi. I recently purchased a 51 mondeo diesel estate. My previous car was a saab 95 aero estate and sold it due to the rocketing fuel prices. Going from my saab to the mondeo was quite a shock in more ways than one. Not only was I getting 3 times more milaege out of the ford but it was doing it rather sluggishly. Someone advised me to buy a chip to raise the BHP from 115 to 147 (give or take) so I purchased one which plugs directly into the common rail. This is where I ran into problems. I went to fit it today and could not find the common rail, or anywhere I could plug the chip into.
Any ideas where I would plug the chip into or have I bought the wrong chip. If so can anyone recommend a chip that I can use (assuming I can)
Heres a link to where I purchased it from.
Thanks ever so much

Pervasive developmental disorders
The pervasive developmental disorders, or PDDs, are a group of childhood disorders that manifest during the first years of the child's life. They are marked by severe weaknesses in several areas of development: social interaction, communication, or the appearance of stereotyped behavior patterns and interests. The PDDs are also known as autistic spectrum disorders. As the phrase spectrum disorder suggests, persons with these disorders fall at different points along a fairly wide continuum of disabilities and associated disorders. As defined by DSM-IV, the pervasive developmental disorders include:
- autistic disorder
- Rett syndrome
- childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD)
- Asperger syndrome
- pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS)
The PDDs form a diagnostic category intended to identify children with delays in or deviant forms of social, linguistic, cognitive, and motor (muscular movement) development. The category covers children with a wide variety of developmental delays of differing severity in these four broad areas. The precise cause(s) of the
Autistic disorder
Autistic disorder, or autism, was first described in 1943. Autistic children are characterized by severe impairment in their interactions with others and delayed or abnormal patterns of communication; about 50% of autistic children do not speak at all. These abnormalities begin in the first weeks of life; it is not unusual for the parents of an autistic child to say that they "knew something was wrong" quite early in the child's development. Another characteristic symptom has been termed "insistence on sameness;" that is, these children may become extremely upset by trivial changes in their environment or daily routine—such as a new picture on the wall or taking a different route to the grocery store. Autistic children often make repetitive or stereotyped gestures or movements with their hands or bodies. Their behavioral symptoms may also include impulsivity, aggressiveness, temper tantrums, and self-biting or other forms of self-injury.
About 75% of children diagnosed with autism are also diagnosed with moderate mental retardation (IQ between 35 and 50). Their cognitive skills frequently develop unevenly, regardless of their general intelligence level. A minority of autistic children have IQs above 70; their condition is sometimes called high-functioning autism, or HFA. In addition to mental retardation, autism is frequently associated with other neurological or medical conditions, including encephalitis, phenylketonuria, tuberous sclerosis, fragile X syndrome, and underdeveloped reflexes. About 25% of autistic children develop seizure disorders, most often in adolescence.

Set in 1931 in Paris, France, the story revolves around a 12 year old orphan named Hugo Cabret who lives in a Paris train station working as the clocks' timekeeper in his Uncles absence.

"But another story begins, because stories lead to other stories, and this one leads all the way to the moon"Narrator
"'Maybe it's the same with people,' Hugo continued. 'If you lose your purpose...it's like your broken.' ....Hugo and Isabelle were quiet for a moment, and then Isabelle said, 'So is that your purpose? Fixing things?' Hugo thought about it. 'I don't know,' he said. 'Maybe.' 'Then what's my purpose?' wondered Isabelle."
"Sometimes I come up here at night, even when I'm not fixing the clocks, just to look at the city. I like to imagine that the world is one big machine. You know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and type of parts they need. So I figure if the entire world is a big machine, I have to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason too."Hugo Cabret
"Even if all the clocks in the station break down, thought Hugo, time won't stop. Not even if you really want it to. Like now."
"I like to imagine that the world is one big machine. You know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and types of parts they need. So I figure if the entire world is a big machine, I have to be here for some reason, too."Hugo Cabret
"Time can play all sorts of tricks on you. In the blink of an eye, babies appear in carriages, coffins disappear into the ground, wars are won and lost, and children transform, like butterflies, into adults."
"In that moment, the machinery of the world lined up. Somewhere a clock struck midnight, and Hugo's future seemed to fall perfectly into place."
"If you've ever wondered where your dreams come from when you go to sleep at night, just look around. This is where they are made."Papa Georges

The Salthawks were always hanging around - always on the verge of getting back into contest.But in the end, Eisenhower junior Trevon Evans was too much for Hutchinson to overcome.
"That really hurt us," said Hutch coach Nate Henry. "We could never get out running in the third quarter. That's what we want to do, but with all the whistles, we couldn't get into a rhythm." The fourth quarter was a different story. The Salthawks fell behind by 16 points and spent the final eight minutes gambling and trapping defensively. It helped them to trim the deficit in half with a nice little scoring flurry. Tanner Higgins hit a 3-pointer with 5:07 to play to cut the deficit to 13, 62-49. The Salthawks then stole an inbound pass and Trevor Turner nailed a bank shot from the elbow. After Jezel Parra blocked a shot, Turner took it to the basket and drew the foul. He hit both free throws to cut the lead into single digits. After a Parra stole a pass, Higgins hit a pair of free throws to cut the score to 64-57. It never got any closer. Evans saw to that. He immediately took the inbound pass and drove coast to coast for a layup that stopped the bleeding and swung the momentum back the Eisenhower's side. Evans might be the best player Hutch sees this year. He is silky smooth off the dribble and has a crossover that allowed him to break down a defense and get into the paint. There were times - particularly in the fourth quarter - when he got a bit out of control, but that's more about Eisenhower's aggressive scheme. "They are always attacking," Henry said. "We noticed that when we watched them on Friday and they were the same way tonight." But the Tigers bypassed chances to pull the ball out, run clock and sit on a lead to continue to attack the basket - something that allowed the Salthawks to stay within striking distance. Ultimately, it worked and led to a wide-open, fan-friendly product if one could have minimized the number of whistles blown. "We knew this was going to be a challenge tonight," Henry said. "We knew this would be a tough test. We were playing a good team and we have had limited reps in practice. It's just going to take us a while." If Tuesday's season debut is any indication, the Salthawks have far more offensive weapons. Parra has grown and is becoming a presence in the paint, while Turner, who missed all of last season after undergoing knee surgery, was pretty steady in his first game in two years. Add Higgins to the mix and this is a team that won't have any shortage in depth.
Ten players found the scoring column on Tuesday - something you get the feeling won't be an anomaly this season.

In the aftermath of the 2010 food crisis in East Africa, Oxfam's focus is on building resilience to future emergencies.
Last updated June 2012
Rains in late 2011 have brought some relief to East Africa, where a drought and food crisis have ensnared millions of people. On February 3, 2012, the UN declared that famine conditions in Somalia had come to an end. A good harvest and substantial humanitarian assistance played a role in the improvements, but the situation in the country remains serious and reports indicate that 2.3 million Somalis are still experiencing a food emergency.
In many areas of the Sahel, emergency conditions are expected to persist well into 2012. Households remain extremely vulnerable to additional shocks, as the drought has depleted the assets of herders and farmers. Several good seasons are required to rebuild herd sizes, improve harvests, and reduce levels of debt.
Oxfam is providing aid to more than 2.8 million people affected by the crisis in Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia, including rural pastoralists, small-scale farmers, the urban poor, and refugees.
Providing clean, safe water: After years of poor rainfall, many local water sources have run dry. Oxfam engineers are repairing boreholes, wells, and water pumps; improving traditional water-storage reservoirs; and training local maintenance committees. When no other good options are available, Oxfam teams truck water in from other regions.
Improving sanitation and public health: In the face of malnutrition, poor water supplies, and migration due to drought, there remains a real risk of outbreaks of fatal diseases like cholera, malaria, and diarrhea. Oxfam teams are working to protect public health by building and rehabilitating latrines, and conducting health campaigns in rural areas and crowded camps.
Rebuilding livelihoods and increasing access to food, markets, and services: The crisis has hit the poorest people in the region hardest - those who have no savings to fall back on when disaster strikes, and who, through the death of livestock or the failure of crops, have lost their main assets. In many parts of the region, there is food in the markets, but high prices make it inaccessible to poor families. Oxfam is working to help people rebuild their livelihoods and restore their incomes.
Cash for work: Oxfam employs local community members to dig wells, build latrines, and carry out other public works, enabling communities to build vital assets while providing badly needed cash to purchase essentials.
Social protection: Oxfam provides regular cash payments to vulnerable families to help them cope with rising food prices, keep children in school, and pay healthcare bills. Providing cash in areas where food is available locally has been a key part of Oxfam's response to the current crisis.
Supporting farmers: Oxfam equips farmers with new tools and seeds to help them prepare for the next harvest.
Working with partners: Oxfam's work across the region aims to support local NGOs and civil society - those who understand the local situation best of all - by providing funds and technical expertise. We also work closely with government departments, the private sector, and academic institutions.
Support for women: Women and girls are often particularly vulnerable at times of disaster. We support women's participation and leadership in the communities, and we involve women in managing water systems and other key resources.
Lobbying and advocacy: The underlying causes of the East Africa food crisis are poor governance, conflict, and chronic under-investment in some regions and communities. Humanitarian aid can save lives, but aid alone cannot address the root causes of such crises – or prevent them from recurring. It is no coincidence that the worst-affected areas are the poorest and least developed. Oxfam advocates with governments, donors, and international decision makers, urging them to take a long-term approach to tackling food crises - to invest in basic services and infrastructure; to provide support for pastoralists and small-scale food producers, particularly women; to assist communities that are struggling to cope with climate change; and to ensure that those living in marginalized communities have the opportunity to participate in the political processes that affect their lives.
Drought in this part of the world is inevitable; disasters are not.
Oxfam aims to reach 3 million people in the East Africa region with a variety of support including food aid, clean water, and agricultural support for farmers and herders. We are also campaigning to change the root causes of this crisis. Find out how you can support our efforts.

Ice thrills competitors of first-ever youth event 23 Jan 2010 President of the UIAA Youth Commission, Anne Arran, interviewed three key people involved with the first ever UIAA European Youth Ice Climbing Championship which took place from January 16 to 17 in Saas Grund, Switzerland. Liubov Mikryukova, age 16, women's winner Liubov, aged 16, grew up in chilly Kirov, Russia and started rock climbing six years ago when she was just ten. It wasn't until the age of 14 that she started ice climbing. "Ice is my favourite. I was inspired by seeing an Ice World Cup and thought I'd like to try it. It's incredible, it's mine, I have unusual feelings for it!" I asked Luibov a few questions about how she is able to thrive in this harsher sporting environment, and about the first European Ice climbing Youth Championship. What about the competition here – how was it?
So far I have only done routes with bolts or preplaced ice screws. We only do ice in the winter. At home there is a wall where we can climb all year and it has holds for climbing with ice tools. I have only done one route outside, I don't think it was very hard. In the finals of the competition it was my second mixed M route on rock ever! I have little experience of it. What do your friends think of it? What are your future ambitions?
Urs started climbing in 1990 when there was only primitive coaching. "You just had to survive but then we had some serious training in the gym. I won a World Cup in Norway but think my best achievement was coming second in the Russian speed climbing championships." Top tips from Urs "On rock, M climbing, if you have a hook, don't replace the axe once it's in. On rock you can really feel the hold so it's possible to move your hand, but with the ice axe you only have visual control of seeing where the axe should go. "Climbing on ice is similar to rock but it's less dynamic and you use the figure of 4 move a lot more. There are many lock-in moves so you need to be strong at this, but training on the campus board can ruin the elbows! "It's necessary to be able to cope with very cold temperatures, down to - 30 degrees in Kirov. Those who weren't used to it didn't do so well". Future ambitions More information on Urs and some amazing images of his outdoor climbing can be found here.
Gabriel Voide –route setter – the philosophy behind the competition "Now they do really interesting moves; one Swiss climber was afraid to climb on lead, but she really pushed the limits today, I am sure she must have done her hardest climb! We think that 14 years of age is a good age to start because they have a good basis of sport climbing already and also hitting the ice is hard for some of the girls until this age. The good thing about these youth camps and competitions is that it will encourage a new generation of adult competitors. Before we lost them after a certain age."
Did you make the routes the right standard? How did you make an ice wall in a car park for Saas Fee? |

Big Pass, the inlet north of Siesta Key, has never been dredged.
That could change if the city of Sarasota and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers choose the inlet as the sand source for the Lido Beach restoration.
"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is trying to get a contractor out for core samples to see how feasible that would be," said Sarasota County Coastal Resources Manager Laird Wreford during a Jan. 17 phone interview with the Pelican Press. Corps spokeswoman Amanda Ellison confirmed the federal agency is using computer modeling to determine if Big Pass is a viable borrow source.
Dredging is the act of removing sand from waterways so boaters can more easily navigate them or removing it from a specific location for use in beach nourishment.
In this case, the main purpose of dredging would be to harvest sand to mitigate erosion damage on Lido, but dredging could also have a secondary effect of, at least temporarily, making the inlet more navigable.
The U.S. Coast Guard doesn't recognize the volatile Big Pass as a navigable waterway, because it so frequently shifts in different directions. Volunteers from the Sarasota Yacht Club and Sarasota County Coastal Resources staff place markers so boaters can safely navigate the pass.
The Corps could combine the borrow dredge with a navigational dredge to give boaters easier access through the inlet. A navigational dredge would target certain parts of the inlet to create an efficient channel for boaters.
"It's not rocket science," said Cliff Truitt, whose firm, Coastal Technology Corp., analyzed Big Pass from 2007 through 2010.
Estimates from the 2007 Siesta Key renourishment project revealed the county could have saved $10 million by harvesting Big Pass instead of performing a sand search and borrowing from a site 10 miles offshore.
"Safeguard our shoreline from any proposals to dredge Big Pass that may negatively impact our beaches" is listed as one of the Siesta Key Association's ongoing goals.
Siesta residents in 1993 formed Save Our Sand, a group that successfully blocked a city of Venice plan to harvest Big Pass sand. SKA stalled a similar proposal in 2007.
At least 20 million cubic feet of sand compose the shoals in Big Pass according to an estimate by Truitt.
The study concluded that the sand was viable to be used for Lido Beach renourishment and that as the shoals adjacent to Big Pass continue to grow it could accelerate erosion on Siesta Key. However, a navigation channel cut through the shoals would fill in within the year, Truitt said.
"It's all the same problem — sand is accumulating in Big Pass," Truitt said.
On the west coast of Florida, sand migrates naturally southward creating erosion on beaches along the way.
Sarasota County residents and municipalities in the past have built concrete groins, or jetties, to slow sediment's southern drift. But, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection are restrictive in permitting such solutions because of the unpredictable environmental effects.
It is similarly difficult to predict the environmental effects of dredging Big Pass, which the Siesta Key Association has fought when the proposal surfaces.
"The thought is you could actually relieve erosional impact by taking sand out of (Big Pass)," Wreford said.
The Corps of Engineers, before making a decision on Big Pass, will take vibracore samples, which are 20 foot long, cylindrical cross-sectional views of the seabed at a potential borrow site. Then it analyzes sediment grain size, shell content and color to ensure it is a suitable match for Lido Key sand.
The core samples would come from shoals, so boaters not be affected.
The FDEP requires color-matching to assure similarity of temperatures of sea turtle nests from year-to-year. Darker sand gets hotter than lighter sand, and some studies have shown this to affect hatchling sex ratios.
"All of this is very preliminary," Wreford said.

There is no denying that mobile gaming is big, in fact it is probably bigger than it ever has been before. During the daily commute it is almost a guarantee that along side the dishevelled youth treating the bus to the latest Chipmunk release from his mobile phone, there too will also be a handful of people painstaking hurtling birds at a group of green pigs. In essence, whether they lay claim to the fact or not, nearly everyone nowadays is a gamer.
Infrequently though, do I see people gaming on the go using a dedicated console. The introduction of the iPhone and Android has brought mobile gaming to the masses. With a huge collection of top notch games, available instantly for only a couple of pounds, it brings into question the necessity for a dedicated handheld. This seems to be echoed in recent news of Nintendo, the giants of handheld gaming, who sculpted it from inception to where it is today, having to dramatically drop the price of it's latest release; the Nintendo 3DS.
The 3DS has had a troublesome time since it's launch in late March with a relatively weak offering of launch titles, all at a premium price (twenty times the cost of the average iPhone game). Of course, the games were all of a much higher production cost and complexity than most found on either iOS or Android so the premium price is to be expected, but the initial (and sadly the continuing) games released for the system have been somewhat lacklustre. It is truly a bad sign when the only game that could justify purchasing a system is an aged 15 year old title, yes Zelda, I'm talking about you!
Sony, who entered the dedicated handheld console market back in late 2004 with the PSP clearly still believe there is a place for it, with the upcoming release of the PlayStation Vita in 2012. Sony clearly know that mobile gaming is hotly contested by the smartphone and so has taken it upon itself to pack the Vita full of social applications to stay in the running. Let's hope it proves more successful than the infamous 'PlayStation phone': the Sony Ericcson Xperia Play…
Do you think there is a place for dedicated handheld consoles anymore, or has the smartphone taken over the market? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

my husband and i recently returned from a peaceful, sunny weekend at the Oregon coast with some dear friends who are wonderful people; they're great at cooking, great at being attractive and merciless at Monopoly. we stayed in a beautiful 3-story home on the Nestucca River bank, with a backyard fire pit, huge windows, and commercial kitchen range from which we fed our group of seven from scratch, every meal. such fun i had cooking with my friends! i'll have to get a guest post from Victoria for her fantastic salmon burgers with leeks and spinach. we ate, a lot. a lot.
i brewed some of my favorite chai tea, too, drinking in a fragrant, spicy cup while the sun came up over the river, or while we cooked 2 dozen eggs for breakfast in our sweats (heated tile floors, yes!). it was a true vacation — the internet went out in the previous week's storm, and the expensive-looking flat-screen tv failed to work. we had wonderful company and wonderful weather!… didn't even miss Draw Something. plenty of spicy tea and strong coffee and card games, indeed.
real homemade chai tea so simple and so striking; i wonder why i don't make it more often. the warm aromatics remind me of last summer, when i stayed with my sister in Brooklyn, New York. she made chai for us each morning, and between hair damp from the shower and hair damp from the summer humidity, we sipped this tea in the 85-degree morning heat. it powered us up for warm walks to the train, where the air pressed even stronger and warmer at the underground platforms. chai fueled our adventures of live music, museums, Manhattan and Momofuku. i love the spices, the licorice-y anise and the peppery black tea, made creamy with hot milk. the flavors of the whole spices are so big and full, invigorating. it also doesn't cost $4 for a cup, nor your drive-through coffee shop barista's attitude. you should try it! enjoy!
chai tea
makes about 4 1/2 cups look in your grocer's bulk bins for inexpensive spices- 2 whole star anise pods
- small handful green cardamom pods (about 10)
- small handful black peppercorns (about a heaping tablespoon)
- 2 teaspoons whole cloves
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 3 slices peeled fresh ginger root
- 1/3 cup loose black tea, such as Darjeeling
- raw sugar or honey (optional)
- milk
with a mortar and pestle, or using the flat blade of a knife and the heel of your hand, slightly crush the cardamom pods and peppercorns.
bring 5 cups of cold, filtered water to a boil. remove from heat and add first six ingredients; cover and steep for about 15 minutes. add tea, stir. cover and steep for 3 minutes. strain into a nonreactive container. cover and store in the fridge (this turns it cloudy, but that will not affect taste).
this is a concentrate; mix one part chai with one part milk and heat to serve. sweeten if desired.

By Drew Brooks Staff writer
Serena Honeycutt is almost embarrassed by the creature comforts she has.
In her North Carolina home, she doesn't have to regulate her electricity, she doesn't have to read by kerosene lamp, and she doesn't have to take cold showers - although she does out of habit.
Those are some of the conditions Honeycutt has lived with for most of the past year. During that time, she has lived alongside some of the poorest of the poor while working in Wallondry, a rural village in the mountains of northern Haiti.
There, surrounded by homes with mud walls and dirt floors, she ministers to bodies and souls.
Honeycutt, a missionary for Lighthouse Baptist Church in Benson, said her trips back home often remind her just how blessed she is.
"I have so much more than most people," she said from her sister's home in Fayetteville. Haitians "don't have it made nearly as well as I have it here."
Honeycutt, 57, is on her fourth mission to Haiti, but this one is much lengthier than past trips.
Since January 2012, Haiti has been her primary home, she said. She leaves the country every three months to comply with travel laws and spends two weeks with her family in North Carolina.
In Haiti, Honeycutt's duties are a mix of nurse and Bible school teacher.
Honeycutt is a registered nurse who resigned from a job with Hospice of Wake County to travel to the third world country. She works in a clinic that performs minor surgeries, distributes vitamins to children and runs a prenatal clinic.
Her spiritual duties include ministering to the Haiti people through a summer Bible school and by distributing Bibles to Haitians who make the effort to learn scriptural passages.
"What I do is pour myself out every day," she said. "It's not all bad. It's not all cholera and earthquakes."
Honeycutt has been home for a little more than two weeks and is scheduled to return to Haiti this week.
In the meantime, she's made the most of limited time with her family, which includes her husband, Brent, and three adult children. She also has visited area churches to speak about her mission and to encourage them to support the cause.
Through her efforts and those of area churches, she has provided shoes and food to the Haitians she works with.
Several churches have collected shoes for Honeycutt to deliver, while monetary donations help provide 55-pound bags of rice and Creole Bibles for the villagers of Wallondry.
But her biggest mission, she said, is in preparing for her eventual permanent return to the United States.
Honeycutt said she's training Haitians to perform the duties she provides and hopes to one day be able to send supplies and direction from afar.
"I do not believe God has called me forever," she said. "But I'll always have a heart for Haiti, and I'll always do what I can for the people there."

The Steelers on Thursday cut linebacker Richard Seigler. The move came after the team caught wind that there was a warrant out for Seigler's arrest.
On charges that he is a pimp.
Per CBS 8 in Las Vegas, Seigler faces three felony counts, including pandering and living off of the earnings of a prostitute.
Judging by the flood of e-mails we have received urging us to remove the Steelers' three points in Turd Watch as a result of the recent decision by authorities to drop assault charges that had been filed against cornerback Deshea Townsend, we're likely to get even more once we apply 18 more points to the franchise for Seigler's alleged transgressions.
Steelers fans will argue that, because the team cut Seigler before he was actually arrested, the points shouldn't count. But it appears that he was dropped only after the team learned that a warrant had been issued, and that it was simply a matter of timing that he was released before he was taken into custody.
So it's 18 points to the Steelers. Final decision.


text: I've done tons of research and I was going to run a cycle a few months ago but I always feel like I can learn more, so I keep postponing it. I am on the younger side of the spectrum when it comes to anabolics "21 almost 22." Can anyone give me some of their personal experiences with their first cycle? What was the worst side effect you got from test only? I've been reading forums for years and I am actually confident in my knowledge on the subject but I just want to know some personal experiences.


text: I don't even know where to begin on this subject. I always thought that it took forever to find a pair of jeans that fit, or the dreaded bathing suit, but I think that finding the perfect bra is now in the top ranking of things that I hate to do. Call it gravity, age, nursing two kids, but my boobs have gone south. There was a time that I thought they were my best asset, or at least my friends said so, but now I need to find something else, my teeth possibly. I use to laugh at all the greeting cards, where two old ladies would be tripping on their chest, but now I think I could be on one of those cards. » Read more..

Day one of a two day conference
Day 1, Panel in English
The unfolding events in Iran and the creation of a remarkable grass-roots movement that encompasses all social groups and includes people of all ages and educational backgrounds, have lead many to seek new analysis on contemporary Iran. The processes that have rapidly engulfed almost the entire nation since the June 12, 2009, rigged election, have gained intensity and are defining a new socio-political paradigm for Iran. The implications of the events in Iran observed by millions in the new social media in addition to the traditional ones, reach beyond geographical boarders of Iran. The triumph of the Green movement in Iran will have the potential of changing political systems in the entire Middle East, and may change the current culture of 'hate and death' to that of tolerance, democracy, rule of law, and equal opportunity for all in the pursuit of equality, justice, and happiness. What the Iranian people have accomplished so far by pouring into the streets to legally demonstrate for their constitutional upheld rights is huge. The very fact that they have continued to demonstrate in view of the harsh and brutal clampdowns by the Islamic Republic is in itself remarkable. The movement despite the draconian measures has not died out, and is a genuine, widespread, and spontaneous national upheaval resulting from the collective Iranian reaction to thirty years of lies and torture and mismanagement of the national wealth. Iranians are also fed up with the culture of death and the morbid ideology of martyrdom and killing. They desire essential and fundamental change.
The current movement in Iran must be analyzed in multiple ways, and one of the ways we can do this is to provide forums for free discussion and debate on current issues. Amuzegar Seminar and Lecture Series is sponsoring The February 2010 two-day conference.

He and Tracy High graduate Tim Celestine, now a senior wide receiver at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo., started a series of informal sessions for youth players. That grew into a regular workout, The Football University, that draws as many as 50 players each weekend to Tracy Ball Park on Bessie Avenue.
Participants play for local youth teams, including the Cougars, Junior Bulldogs and Panther Youth Football, and high school teams, including Kimball, West, Tracy and St. Mary's of Stockton.
Luera, Celestine and other volunteer coaches run kids through drills designed to build speed and strength and, most of all, give them an understanding of the game that they hope will impress coaches.
"Every kid wants to run the ball, hold the ball and catch the ball," Luera said. "At that level they're not getting it, and the parents are paying $400 to $500, and their kids aren't playing. I think that's unfair."
Luera, 35, is a Tracy High graduate who did not play high school football because of grades. He overcame dyslexia after high school while in the Army and never lost his love for the game. Celestine, a 2008 graduate of Tracy High, was unable to attend the most recent Sunday session because of a commitment to another camp.
While coaching for the Cougars, Luera worried that kids would get discouraged if they never got to play in the skilled positions.
"I teach them how to be a running back, fullback, receiver, linebacker, all the skilled positions," he said. "You may not be the best athlete, or may not have the best body type, or he's not the prototypical running back or quarterback, but this kid knows how to throw and knows how to read the offense.
"They go in there and they excel."
Corey Norwood, whose son Alonzo plays for the Cougars, is one of the volunteer coaches.
"It's something I had to do. This is where it starts, with the youth," he said, adding that when youth football practices start in mid-July, his son will be a step ahead of other kids on the team. "That's what it's all about, getting these kids conditioned."
As The Football University grew, Luera turned it into a business, officially named TFBU Sports. A fee of $40 per player per month is goes back into equipment, and he still relies on volunteer coaches.
"Everybody out here is a volunteer," Luera said. "You either love it or you don't."
