I'm currently in the revision phase of this novel. I've finished the first draft. I took my break and let the story rest. Then I went through the whole thing a few hundred-thousand times (give or take) until I felt it was ready for the eyes of my beta readers.
I got my first crit back about a week ago and had the normal reaction of, WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE I SUCK SO HARD AT THIS WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER? After numbing the initial sting with a few tubs of ice cream, I could see which suggestions I agreed with and which I didn't, what to ignore and what to change. Those are cake.
Uhm... did someone say "cake and ice cream"?
The real trouble comes in when I receive comments and suggestions that I'm not sure what to do with. This is usually because I know the person giving the critique has made a valid point, something needs to change, but I'm frustrated because I don't know how to fix the issue.
At that point I have to step away for a while. I can't sort things out by forcing my face into it--that only works when there's cake involved. This doesn't mean it hasn't taken residence in the back of my head, though. I may not have looked at my ms for a solid week, but I had a hard time thinking about much else.
In the meantime, The Hubby, The Boy, and I went to see Brave. Overall, I liked the movie. I thought some things could have been done better, but this is Disney-Pixar. Even a "meh, could have been better" movie from them is still a professional product. And as a professionally written film it adheres to basic story structure.
My ms is not unstructured-- I made sure of that when I drafted the original outline. The problem, I discovered, is that Act I is missing something vital. Something that isn't on the framework of my outline, per se, but is crucial just the same.
It's called an adhesive. And it usually comes into play just before the catalyst. The adhesive is arguably the most important part of your setup.
As much as I love Blake Snyder's beat sheet for working out my story structure, you won't find anything about an adhesive in Save the Cat! You'll find it in another great book I highly recommend for fiction writers (even if I don't talk about it quite as much as StC), Plot & Structure by James Scott Bell. According to Bell,
An adhesive is any strong relationship or circumstance that holds people together.And here's the key,
If the Lead can solve the problem simply by resigning from the action, the reader will wonder why he doesn't do so.~Plot & Structure by James Scott Bell, p. 81
The adhesive prevents the protagonist from taking an easy way out.
So combining the adhesive element with your catalyst should result in a clear reason WHY your protagonist is choosing to move forward in the way that he does. At the end of Act I, during what I call The Great Debate, it should feel like your protagonist has been backed into a corner and the only way out is to make a tough choice. This decision is what breaks the story into Act II, thrusts the characters into the meat of the premise with a sense of urgency.
Aaaand... when you're writing a contemporary romance, this is the point where you start to question your career choice. The story is about love and feelings and finding your soulmate and how do I-- rawr! Commence freakout in 3... 2... 1...
So let's get back to Brave and see how it was done there. Even though this story is heavily fantasy, the adhesive and the catalyst are not, in the physical sense, a matter of Life and Death. (why do I keep capitalizing those? is it more dramatic?)
What I'm about to say is not a spoiler, so please don't run away.
The adhesive in Brave involves Merida's strained relationship with her mother the queen. The catalyst is when her parents inform her that the other tribes are to present their first-born sons to compete for her betrothal. Merida wants nothing to do with this.
She can't just walk away from the situation, she has to face it head-on. Why? Because the adhesive is her position as princess, compounded by her mother's insistence that they stick to tradition and go through with the competition regardless of how Merida feels.
This is what pushes Merida to the breaking point, so that by the time the opportunity to possibly change her fate arises, she feels she must take advantage of it. And just as important as the adhesive itself is the fact that it has a conflict at its core-- the strong opposing viewpoints of Merida and her mother.
Will Merida die if she goes through with a traditional betrothal? Not physically, no. But what about psychologically? Remember that "death" for a character does not always mean "dead and buried."
After ruminating on all of this, I realized my protagonist had too many opportunities to simply step away from the problem and take the easy way out. It took me about an hour of feverish scribbling in my spiral notebook to fix this, but it was worth it. I found a plausible adhesive that gave my opening the urgency it was missing. I know the novel will be better for the changes I'm making.
This is why I have a love/hate relationship with revisions.
Happy revising,

That is so unbelievable. No one, in America, ever dressed like that...ever. Those Ubi folks up in Montreal should know this. Not to mention, the artistic style of being stenciled is very out of character.
Don't worry, they will just rush the game out buggy and unfinished to meet the dead line as game devs often do
one more thing. Ubisoft Montreal is the largest dev team in the industry (250 people) so they can do the workload that would normally take 2 years a lot quicker. Ubisoft is not trying to turn it into Madden!
Im pretty sure assassins creed was never meant to be realistic. Very few people could scale walls like that, or jump into a pile of hay from 1000 feet up and live. Any event, I think that looks kinda badass.
The hood is pretty symbolic of the assassins. It probably wasnt much of a style in the other eras as well. It may not be historically accurate. But I think its a nice look and should stay in the series.
Uh, a bow? I'm pretty sure 90% of the Revolutionary War was fought with muskets. That should be a musket straped to his back, not a bow.
It doesnt matter what weapons the new assassin uses. Just because they used muskets back then, doesnt mean the assassin has to follow suit. He uses what he finds best. Youre trying to make this more realistic than what it is supposed to be.
Ill take a bow over the musket. It's quiet, and more accurate than a musket. I believe in the musket line battles, 1/6 shots would hit somebody.

A Collection of Baseball Firsts
Who hit the first grand slam? Who was the first pinch hitter? Presenting the nine players of Smithsonian's "They Did It First" All-Star Team
- By Mark Strauss
- Smithsonian.com, September 14, 2009
(Library of Congress)
"Smiling Mickey" Welch is credited as the first pinch hitter in major-league history, when he batted for a New York Giants teammate on September 10, 1889—and struck out. The first successful pinch hit would be three years later, by Jack Doyle of the Cleveland Indians. (As Paul Votano notes in his book Stand and Deliver: A History of Pinch-Hitting, managers during this era were reluctant to rely on this practice because "many teams only had three pitchers on their rosters and, at most, only one or two substitute position players.") Welch, however, is best known as a pitcher. On August 28, 1884, Welch struck out the first nine batters he faced, a record that still stands today. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973.

Okay soooo! I was working in the city over Christmas and getting wonderful fresh medjool dates from a little fruit store. They were really expensive though. Just 10 dates was $5. But it was a lot of calories and I was earning money so I treated myself!
Now that I'm back at uni (and money is much much tighter!) I have been searching for them in my local area and can't get them! :(
I did however find prepackaged dates. I read the packet and they didn't contain any added stuff. My only concern was that they looked like a different variety of dates? Is that still okay? Also I left a handful of them in a car for a few hours on a VERY hot day and ate them anyway, and they tasted the same.... Which leads me to think that there is a possibility that the packaged dates might not be raw? Actually now that I think about it it seems silly, who would buy "oven baked dates" or "steamed dates"?? That sounds revolting. Okay they are probably raw. Actually now that I think about it I've seen a lot of gourmet raw foodists use packaged dates.
I still am paranoid about them though. Are they okay to eat? I am having huge difficulties getting in enough calories and dates seem like the only option since they are calorie dense and small. The other thing that worries me is that they are very cheap! I got a kg of them for 4 or 5 dollars. That is good for me because I am a povo uni student, but I keep feeling like it is too good to be true???
Hey Emma, I struggle with the calories thing too, I did dates for a while, but they seem to mess up my tummy so I stopped and am now heavy on the nanas/smoothie train. I would check with Freelea or durianrider where they get their dates when they are in Oz. Hope it turns out well for you
I would not stress very much right now over whether or not they are the absolute freshest and best quality dates, especially if they are all you have access to right now.
If you were in North America I'd recommend www.ShieldsDateGarden.com for cheap quality dates, but in Australia I believe the only place to get them fresh would be from The Desert Fruit Company, I believe that's where Harley and Freelee get them when they are in Oz.
If you have access to buying bananas in bulk that makes it really easy too. Banana smoothies were my staple when I first got started on 811.
So if it's your only option for now, hands down I would go with the dates you have access to, but do some homework to see if you can get some higher quality fruit in the meantime.
The issue people have with dates typically is they are not hydrated enough before eating them. Dates are significantly lower in water than other fruit, so just drink more water accordingly. I like eating them with cucumbers and/or celery, and then still drinking plenty of water on top of that with them.
Best of luck Lenore! :D
Order from Shields Date Garden, The Date People or 7 Hot Dates.
Get Medjool, kalawy, hadrawi, or barhi.
Zahidi and deglet noor tend to be meatier and drier, and most people like gooey.
The dates you are buying at the store were left on the tree longer to dry. They are fine for you, they just are drier and so are harder to digest as they require more water. Try soaking them for a few hours before you eat them.
I just ordered 15 lbs of Barhi dates from Shields (no pesticides/chemical fertilizers) for $35 plus shipping. That's much cheaper per lb. than the ones at the store usually are, even including shipping.

A snowshoer was hospitalized with serious injuries Sunday after he fell 30 metres into a gully near Hollyburn Mountain.
The man was walking Cypress Bowls Mount Strachan route with three companions early Saturday afternoon when the group reportedly became disoriented by poor weather and a failing GPS unit. They were traversing a steep slope above the gully at about 1:30 p.m. when the man apparently lost his footing and fell down the incline, tumbling over three 10-metre cliffs in a row before coming to rest in the snow, according to rescuers. Unable to get cell reception, a friend had to leave the area to call for help, delaying the launch of the rescue effort until about 3:30 p.m.
When a volunteer team reached the area and rappelled down the cliffs, they found the man had moved from the spot where he fell, complicating the problem.
He had staggered about 800 feet. . . . We were following a trail of blood. We found an abandoned snowshoe, a pair of goggles; he was an army in retreat, said North Shore Rescue team leader Tim Jones. We found him sitting in this gully, soaking wet.
The victim had suffered serious head injuries in the mishap and was showing signs of hypothermia, said Jones. He was also in severe pain.
They treated some of the mans injuries, but with darkness and bad weather preventing a helicopter rescue, he had to be hauled out by hand. All the available members of NSR were called in to help in the effort, as well as Lions Bay Search and Rescue, Cypress Mountain staff, West Vancouver police and others.
It took close to six hours to drag the mans stretcher up a steep and snowy 600-metre slope to a waiting snowmobile. He was finally transported to hospital at about 3 a.m.
It was a long, long, long night, said Jones.
The result could have been worse, however, he noted.
Weve done two fatalities directly below where he fell.

Agriculture experts fear that even dryland growers like Nichols could be squeezed out of the wheat crop altogether.
"It might potentially become too dry for some Washington state farmers to grow anything," said Bill Schillinger, director of Washington State University's dryland research station in Lind, Wash.
The economic costs of the switch underway could be considerable. Crop insurance is expected to cover the bulk of the losses from this year's drought, estimated to run as high as $12 billion. Drought-driven impacts, such as higher food costs and decreased farm incomes, shaved 0.4 percent off the nation's gross domestic product, dropping the growth rate of the key economic indicator to 1.3 percent from 1.7 percent, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
"Whether manmade or natural, we know the climate is changing," said Nichols. "And we're just kind of rolling with it. If it gets too much drier, we could put in grass for cattle. That wouldn't be as profitable, but down the line we might just have to."

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy |
Cholecystectomy (koh-luh-sis-TEK-tuh-me) is a surgical procedure to remove your gallbladder — a pear-shaped organ that sits just below your liver on the upper right side of your abdomen. Your gallbladder collects and stores bile — a digestive fluid produced in your liver.
Cholecystectomy may be necessary if you experience pain from gallstones that block the flow of bile. Cholecystectomy is a common surgery, and it carries only a small risk of complications. In most cases, you can go home the same day of your cholecystectomy.
Cholecystectomy is most commonly performed by inserting a tiny video camera and special surgical tools through four small incisions to see inside your abdomen and remove the gallbladder. Doctors call this laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In some cases, one large incision may be used to remove the gallbladder. This is called an open cholecystectomy.

For an organization that has proclaimed it is rebuilding, the Eskimos do a convincing imitation of a franchise bent on self-destruction.
The fact the 3-10 team's centrepiece — swashbuckling, first-year starting quarterback Mike Reilly — was diagnosed with a concussion Sunday after absorbing a needless and dangerous helmet-to-helmet hit from Toronto's Cleyon Laing on Saturday night is the most disturbing personification of that dynamic.
Sadly, it's hardly a one-off. The fact Reilly was permitted to continue playing after taking that dirty hit is just another clumsy, ill-conceived decision in a year fraught with them.
The clumsiness began in pre-season with that secret training camp in Florida, carried into training camp, when general manager Ed Hervey challenged the offensive line, setting a dubious season-long tone, and continued throughout the regular season, which has been informed by some inept clock management, questionable play calls and much else.
This Reilly incident is the most serious case, so far.
To be fair to Reilly, who is a tough, talented, brave athlete, his concussion was a result of Laing being the third man in and drilling the defenceless quarterback, rather than a case of Reilly running headlong into an opponent.
The handling, or mishandling, of the situation by head coach Kavis Reed raises serious questions, some of which may be answered today when he and Reilly meet the media.
No doubt, Reilly will once again be asked about modifying his kamikaze style of play. He had better or he is Buck Pierce redux.
Actually, it's more than a bit stunning to listen to Reilly talk about the nobility of taking the shots, game after game, just weeks after the NFL was ordered to pay a $765 million settlement to 4,000 former players over damage done to them, including early onset dementia, owing to head trauma suffered during their careers.
There are equally serious questions for the CFL on this. If, as expected and warranted, Laing is fined or, better, suspended, that will make three opponents who have been at least fined for illegal and dangerous hits to Reilly's head. Three in one season.
It's not implausible Reilly has suffered more than one concussion this season, especially given the fact he is loathe to report his own injuries, let alone take himself out of a game.
On Saturday night, the Laing hit was severe enough to prompt receiver Nate Coehoorn to signal for the training staff to come out to attend to the quarterback. When the medics arrived, Reilly promptly declared himself fine, although his body language sent a more troubling message. He took one more snap and threw a touchdown pass to Shamawd Chambers. What a trooper.
But the days of players getting their "bell rung" and playing on heroically are straight out of the 1950s. Or should be, given what has been learned about the short- and long-term effects of head trauma.
Something else. When one quarterback on one team has absorbed three hits from three different players on three other teams, hits severe enough to warrant fines, the CFL is not doing nearly enough to change behaviour, to mitigate the 'seek-and-destroy' mentality of defensive players.
Reilly is an emerging star, but he has been a target of frightful physical punishment all season long. In the Labour Day home-and-home series against Calgary alone, Reilly was sacked 14 times, seven in each game. He was hit many more times than that.
As much as any other factor, it was watching Reilly take yet another physical battering on Labour Day that ignited Hervey's eruption at a hastily called news conference the day after. Speaking of self-destructive behaviour.
That was the day Hervey gave Canadian offensive guard Simeon Rottier a public flogging, ripped the play-calling by his offensive co-ordinator, bemoaned the timidity of the defence, basically put everyone "on notice."
"There have to be consequences," Reed had fulminated after an early-season loss. He was referring to indiscipline by the players. But often there can be unintended consequences for indiscipline by management, also.
You want to cut Hervey some slack. He's an astute football man, passionate about Edmonton and the Eskimos and he's a rookie GM. He's going to learn from his mistakes, the main one being letting his passion overrule cool, managerial reason.
His excoriation of Rottier violated a clause in the league's collective bargaining agreement with its players, prompting a visit from the CFLPA and some stern words from the CFL head office.
Putting the coaching staff on notice helped erode their always fragile job security, you'd have to think. And publicly questioning this coaching staff probably isn't the best way to advertise for their replacements.
Hervey maintained a stony silence during the club's eight-game losing streak, breaking it spectacularly only after Labour Day. He spoke up again after the club won a pair of games against 2-11 Winnipeg, but only to a couple of friendly reporters.
When the community-owned pro football team you manage is sitting at 3-10, giving the media — and by extension, the paying public — the silent treatment is not an acceptable option.
Which brings us to the sold-out Capital Power Canadian Football Hall of Fame Gala Dinner on Thursday night at the Shaw Conference Centre.
This annual get-together of Edmonton business people, supporters and the like is a fundraiser for the Hall of Fame and the Eskimos' own Champions in the Community program. This is not a meeting of shareholders, nor of the club's board of directors.
But the Eskimos franchise arrives at this 'do' dead last in the West Division, its playoff hopes threadbare at best, its star quarterback concussed and the future of the coaching staff uncertain.
Good times. But there needs to be a massive self-examination and cleanup job after the party, one that starts right at the top.

I actually made this video for my other website, Gorge in the Gorge, but I'm really excited with how it turned out so I decided to share it here too! I've been working a lot more with video and loving it. Sometimes it's nice to be behind the camera.
Henni's is one of our very favorite restaurants. It's where we always go when friends and family come into town to visit and usually one of us orders this awesome burger. What seems like months ago chef and owner Christiaan and I talked about making this video and on Tuesday I left the little gals at home with their Papa and headed out to shoot this. It was so much fun to make. I hope you enjoy watching it!
Next week I have a new cooking video with Gigi to share with you too! Have a fabulous weekend.

Best fake tan i have ever used. Worth every penny!!! Goes on evenly unlike liquids/creams/mousses that go patchy at oily parts of my body great natural colour asked on serveral occasions if i had been using sun-beds.
Rachel, Scotland
The Xen-Tan Mist Intense gives a gorgeous olive tan. I think the colour looks really good on my skin and also very natural. Also no streaking at all and it's easy to apply.
Melissa, The Netherlands
This is the best self-tanner ever and the best out of the Xen-Tan products. I have fair skin (Scandinavian) and I was a little reluctant but bought it anyway ...and I just LOVE it. It even works with my fair skin. It gives a lovely colour. Not too dark but if you want it darker, just apply every day til you get wanted result, then 1-2 times a week to keep it up.
Christine, Noway
This tan smells lovely! It doesn't have that biscuit smell! This product is very good as the application is simple and the smell is so nice!!
Katie, London
Have tried loads of fake tans in sprays. Always seemed to look orangey! This gives a perfect colour, really olive and natural. Now I have people telling me I look really brown and feel really proud that it is out of a bottle! Can't wait to try more of the Xen-Tan range. 10 out of 10!
You've tried the rest now try the best, simples !
Helen, Hampshire
This product is absoluteley the best self tanner I have ever used. Like many other reviewers I have tried nearly everything from gradual tanning moisturisers to top of the range products but never been able to get a result that looks natural. Even if the product gave me a good colour (most didn't) I would still struggle to get a flawless application so would end up with tell tale signs particularly on my hands and feet. I dread to think how much money I must have spent over the years on various products I would attempt to use just once or twice before throwing them away. About 2 years ago I came across Xen-Tan and had heard that it had great reviews so I bought a bottle of the Dark Lotion. I couldn't believe the fantastic realistic colour and it smelt so nice but I still couldn't seem to master the application. Over the next few months I tried several more of their products, some I liked (the mousse was very good and much easier to apply) and some I wasn't so keen on but as ever it was still very obvious my tan was fake because of my poor application technique. This summer I read an article online about the the Mist Intense product and thought I may as well give it a go as I'd tried everything else. It is amazing. Very easy and quick to apply (I use the Xen-Tan Mitt), my whole body takes just minutes and it dries instantly so I can dress straght away. There is a guide colour which makes it foolproof to apply and gives a hint of colour that looks natural enough to wear outside while the tan is developing. It smells great too, not even a hint of the usual fake tan smell. I usually apply before bed and shower off in the morning. I sometimes look a bit muddy when I wake up but after showering am left with a perfect streak-free natural looking tan - I am very fair skinned usually. The bottle states that it's a once a week product which I wouldn't agree with. I need to do mine twice in a week but it's so easy now that I don't find that a problem. The only area that I find sometimes goes a bit patchy after a few days is in the crook of my arms. I am just coming to the end of my first bottle and have managed to get at least a dozen full tans out of it. A fantastic product and worth every penny!
Bryony, Hampshire
I absolutely LOVE this spray! The first time I used it, I went to my usual body pump class and everyone was asking me where I had been on holiday! It's so easy to use and impossible to streak. I've tried loads of different brands and this is the best yet. The colour is great too - no "tango" moments. 10/10.
Tracy, Jersey, Channel Islands
I never write reviews, but often read other people's when trying new products. I had to write so you know how excellent Xen-Tan Dark Mist Intense is. I have tried all kinds and many expensive ones. With this, there is no chicken soup/biscuit smell for the first day as you get with some, it's easy to apply and doesn't dry so fast on skin, that you don't have time to smooth it in. Leaves a lovely colour but if you do want it darker (or darker on bits like arms/legs) then you can do this easily the next morning with a second coat and it doesn't look uneven. Colour lasts well for 3 or 4 days. Very pleased with this product and will certainly be buying it again.
Roz, Stirling
This has to be the best tanning product out there! Although I get an amazing olive colour using the lotion, I find the mist so much easier to apply. It can also be put on before you go out, as there is absolutely no streaking or smell! In fact both my husband and my sons thought I had changed perfume as they thought it smelt lovely and usually they hate the smell of self tan! It definitely is worth buying.
Maria, Lancashire
I bought this product after using the Xen-Tan Transform Lotion as I wanted to get a deeper colour and this did exactly that... it lasted for days!!! I do advise you do as it says on the bottle and apply in the shower as i ended up tanning a white rug in my bathroom by not following the advice... great product and great service!
Rachel, Midlands
I bought Xen Tans Mist Intense last week so I could use it as well as my Xen Tan dark lotion. You all have to buy this product, it is so worth the money! After I put my lotion on, I sprayed this on after and the next day I had the tan that I always wanted! It was great going out for the xmas do - everyone thought I'd been on holiday! Absolutely love Xen Tan.
Lauren Riley, Manchester
xen-tan intense mist is brilliant, i searched the web and this was the cheapest found. I am love tanning and after trying hundereds of expensive products i have finally settled with this!!!
Ellie Burrows, S Yorks

Release courtesy C of I sports information
Box Score
CALDWELL, Idaho – Hitting a season-high 45-percent clip, The College of Idaho rolled to a 25-14, 25-15, 25-13 victory over Oregon Tech tonight in the J.A. Albertson Activities Center. The Lady Yotes (5-8, 5-2 CCC) rolled up 46 kills against just five hitting errors in their most complete effort of the season.
The Owls (9-12, 2-5) jumped out to a quick 4-1 lead in Set 1, but Lili Brochado had three kills in a 12-2 push to build a 13-6 lead and were never threatened.
Set 2 was close early, as a Victoria Porter kill on an overpass got Tech within 9-7 – but a pair of kills from both Kylee Nawahine and Sofia Anxo helped the Yotes rattle off seven of the next nine points to extend the margin to 16-9 and picked up the set win.
The finale was all C of I, as Anxo had four kills and Sierra Porter logged a pair of aces in a 12-4 start to the set as the Yotes recorded their second three-set win of the year.
Anxo led all players with 14 kills, with Brochado adding 11 kills. Porter had 37 assists and 11 digs, while Nawahine added nine kills and nine digs.
Kelsey Sampson led OIT with eight kills, with Marlee Smith chipping in with seven kills and a team-high nine digs. Kayleigh Whelchel had 17 assists for the Owls.

Are you Fancy about your Sat-nav Voices?
If you've got a navigation system – and it is not voiced by Brian Blessed, Mr. T or Yoda – then there is probably a woman's voice, each motion commands that little GPS screen.
Like me, I'm sure that at least wondering if you even know what this woman looks like and what they would be in real life? Go on, admit it, you were in the transport firm and just started to think about whether she was a blonde or brunette, large or small and whether it is the smart and bossy in real life, or whether it rough, a strip in her. No? Then you are either lying or do not know what you're missing.
The real people behind Navi votes. Only now Mercedes has ruined that fantasy and published pictures of women (and men), the voice of the navigation systems in the S-class. What were they thinking? Are you Fancy about your Sat-nav Voices? .
I really do not want to know how they look. It's like meeting your childhood hero (or driving the super car that was on your bedroom wall during your formative years) and the discovery that he / she / it does not live up to your expectations. Why could Mercedes have just lied and did a bunch of supermodels and actresses were the voices? You know, Heidi Klum and Keira Knightley for Germany for the UK. Something like that.
The pictures have me thinking though. How does the weird world of SAT-NAV to work? Mercedes has a different class of women for the S, E and C-Class? Posh totty for the sedan, and someone more of the mill for repmobile run? Are you Fancy about your Sat-nav Voices? You need to sign exclusivity contracts to women so that they only work for Mercedes and not the voice of GPS systems in the 7 series, A8 and XJ as well? And the voices have been upgraded, when the cars are facelift, for something fresher?
More importantly, is just what strange seductive eyes of the male voice for Turkey to give the camera?
Think I better stop the car here. Please make a u-turn …

Empire enters administration
Empire, as expected, has gone bust.
The publisher's properties have been sold to New World IP in the US, and its 49 staff have been laid off.
Administrator KPMG Restructuring has been appointed to wind down the company and is not seeking to sell the business.
"Despite the fact that the gaming industry has been relatively unscathed by the current recession, trading losses, development spend and a delay in recent new product approval had a fatal impact on the Empire's cash flow," said KPMG's Ian Corfield.
"We are not looking to sell the business as a going concern and are effecting an orderly wind-down of Empire's operations."

How is multicore any Off-die memory bandwidth and latency are limited, so many codes start running into memory bottlenecks even at moderate number of cores (quad-cores seem to be a sweet spot). Mounting memory on top of CPU cores, and 3d stacks with through vias appears a cheap way to increase lanes and shrink geometries, which allows for higher data rates and less heat dissipation. Of course this arguably won't scale to a kilocore on-die (or wafer), and SMP emulating a shared memory will probably break down way before (synchronizing lots of writes to the same location is expensive in this relativistic shared-nothing universe). > different?

Charles Sturridge Movies
An actor-turned-writer/director whose keen sense of history, love of literature, and fascination with fantasy have resulted in a variety of compelling works in both film and television,
Charles Sturridge
nurtured a love for theater early on when he appeared in National Youth Theater productions of Zigger Zagger and A Midsummer Nights Dream, later advancing to become president of the Oxford University Dramatic Society. A brief onscreen career with roles in
Lindsay Anderson
and the Emmy-award winning miniseries Edward the King followed before
opted to take a turn behind the camera to helm episodes of Stangers and
The Spoils of War
shortly thereafter. Subsequently assured in his strengths as a director,
would cement his status as a skilled storyteller with the BAFTA and Emmy-winning miniseries
Brideshead Revisited
in 1981, and in 1983 the emerging director launched his feature career with
, an affecting tale of teenage runaways.
would later distinguish himself as a period specialist with such well-received dramas as
A Handful of Dust
Where Angels Fear to Tread
, with his turn towards fantasy in the 1996 miniseries
Gulliver's Travels
proving just how effectively the two genres could mix. In 1997
would charm viewers by recounting the ingenious hoax of two World War I-era girls who had claimed to photograph fairies in
Fairy Tale: A True Story
, with an adaptation of
Samuel Beckett
's play Ohio Impromptu serving to reunite the director with
Brideshead Revisited
Jeremy Irons
in 2000. Yet another screen venture alongside
would follow when
recounted the 18th century race to discover the longitude of the sea in the BAFTA-winning made-for-television movie
. By now it appeared as if the ocean was simply in
's blood, and in 2002 the director would team with
Kenneth Branagh
, a BAFTA-and Emmy-award winning account of Ernest Shackleton's heroic effort to save his 28-man crew after their boat is destroyed by pack ice during a 1914 expedition to the South Pole. In 2005 Sturridge returned to the big screen to revive the screen career of everyone's favorite rough collie with

Brideshead Revisited, Book 1
Originally telecast on the BBC, Brideshead Revisited gained enormous popularity in America when it was offered on PBS' Great Performances series. Based on the novel by Evelyn Waugh, this 11-part saga of an Aristocratic Catholic family is currently available in a six-volume video set. "Book One" consists of the 2-hour introductory episode, which debuted in the U.S. on January 18, 1982. From the vantage point of 1944, British Army captain Charles Ryder (Jeremy Irons) remembers his days as an Oxford student in the early 1920s. Befriended by Sebastian Flyte (Anthony Andrews), the youngest resident of Brideshead Castle, Ryder is invited to bask in the glory of the fabulously wealthy and powerful Marchmain family. Dazzled by the experience, Ryder is blinded to the undercurrent of decadence at Brideshead. (See separate entries for further episodes). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Brideshead Revisited, Book 5
Originally telecast on the BBC, Brideshead Revisited gained enormous popularity in America when it was offered on PBS' Great Performances series. John Mortimer adapted Evelyn Waugh's novel into 11 episodes, most of which ran 60 minutes. The videotape version of Brideshead is boxed in a 6-volume set. "Book Five" consists of episode 8 (telecast March 8, 1982) and episode 9 (telecast March 15, 1982). The first installment is set in the mid-1930s, over a decade since Charles Ryder (Jeremy Irons) was introduced to the aristocratic-and deeply troubled-Marchmain family. Now a successful artist, Charles hasn't seen the Marchmain's in years; but while visiting Central America, he is reunited with the lovely Julia (Diana Quick). The second episode picks up where the first left off, with Charles and Julia enmeshed in a torrid affair. This sequence was a bit too torrid for some PBS affiliates, which is why it was trimmed during its first rerun cycle. (See separate entries for subsequent episodes) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Brideshead Revisited, Book 4
Originally telecast on the BBC, Brideshead Revisited gained enormous popularity in America when it was offered on PBS' Great Performances series. William F. Buckley Jr. hosted this 11-part adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel. The videotape version has been compressed to six volumes: "Book Four" contains episodes 6 and 7, which aired in the U.S. on February 22 and March 1, 1982. In episode 6, Julia Flyte (Diana Quick) runs into interference from the rest of the Catholic Marchmain family when her relationship with the much-older Protestant Rex Mottram (Charles Keating) deepens. Episode 7 takes place in 1926, when the British General Strike brings protagonist Charles Ryder (Jeremy Irons) back to London. At Julia's request, Charles sets about to locate her brother: The Marchmain "black sheep", Sebastian Flyte (Anthony Andrews).

Brideshead Revisited, Book 3
Originally telecast on the BBC, Brideshead Revisited gained enormous popularity in America when it was offered on PBS' Great Performances series. Based on the novel by Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead ran 11 episodes on television; the video version has been packaged into six volumes. "Book Three" consists of episodes 4 and 5, respectively telecast in the U.S. on February 8 and 15, 1982. In episode 4, profligate Sebastian Flyte (Anthony Andrews) is expected to live up to the standards set by his family, the ultra-aristocratic Marchmains of Brideshead Castle. Unable to satisfy his elders, he loses himself in drink and depression, resulting in an extremely unpleasant incident at a family party. Sebastian's best friend, Charles Ryder (Jeremy Irons), tries to help, but his inability to do so only makes things worse. In episode 5, Sebastian returns for another family reunion-with disastrous results. (See separate entries for subsequent episodes). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Brideshead Revisited, Book 2
Originally telecast on the BBC, Brideshead Revisited gained enormous popularity in America when it was offered on PBS' Great Performances series. Adapted by John Mortimer from the novel by Evelyn Waugh, this 11-part saga of the Marchmain family has been released to video in a six-part set. "Book Two" contains two hour-long episodes. In the first (PBS telecast date: January 25, 1982), Charles Ryder's (Jeremy Irons) daunting visit to Brideshead Castle, the ancestral home of his deliciously decadent college friend Sebastian Flyte (Anthony Andrews) is disrupted by the arrival of Sebastian's sober-sided brother. There is nothing for it but to head for Venice, there to visit Sebastian's father, Lord Marchmain (Laurence Olivier). The second episode (PBS telecast date: February 1, 1982) finds Sebastian running afoul of Oxford don Samgrass (John Grillo), who has been ordered by Lady Marchmain (Claire Bloom) to curb Sebastian's insouciance and excesses.

Originally telecast on the BBC, Brideshead Revisited gained enormous popularity in America when it was offered on PBS' Great Performances series. Evelyn Waugh's novel about a trouble aristocratic Catholic family was adapted into an 11-part miniseries by John Mortimer; in the US, each episode was introduced by William F. Buckley Jr. When released to video, Brideshead was offered in six volumes. "Book Five" contains two episode, including the final one in the series. In episode #10, first telecast March 22, 1982 on PBS, we find that Charles Ryder (Jeremy Irons) and Julia Flyte (Diana Quick), the sister of his best friend Sebastian, have been lovers for two years. The central crisis in this installment concerns cousin Bridey (Simon Jones), who refuses to introduce his fiance to the family. The final 90-minute episode of Brideshead Revisted was telecast March 29, 1982. As the war clouds gather over England, Lord Marchmain (Laurence Olivier), a shadow of his former self, returns to Brideshead Castle. Now Charles, who previously appointed himself Protector of his Lordship's tragic son Sebastian (Anthony Andrews), must shield Marchmain from the "helpfulness" of his family. The story ends where it began, with an older, wiser, and more bitter Sykes roaming the grounds of the once-proud Brideshead. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Rebellious students at an English private school plan a violent revolt against their repressive environment in director Lindsay Anderson's highly acclaimed but extremely controversial drama. Centering on a small group of non-conformists led by Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowell), the film paints a distinctly negative picture of the British school system and, by extension, English society. Seeing the powers-that-be as humorless, bureaucratic, and needlessly restrictive, Mick and his cohorts indulge in small acts of rebellion, including sneaking into town to romance a local waitress. Their actions are discovered and punished with harsh beatings, leading the students to plot revenge. This effort culminates in the film's most famous sequence, a surrealistic depiction of a bloody uprising by the students against the adult world. Daring and unpredictable in content and form, If... mixes color and black-and-white cinematography as easily as it mingles satire with dark fantasy. The film's ambiguous attitude toward violence caused controversy at the time, as many commentators saw the film as a potential incitement to violence. It became a great success among younger, counter-culture audiences who appreciated the audacious shock tactics and embraced the satirical, anti-establishment message. Often compared to Jean Vigo's French classic Zéro de conduite, which also featured surrealistic boarding-school rebellion, If... has become a high point in the cinema of youth rebellion. Anderson and McDowell later collaborated on O Lucky Man! (1973), Look Back in Anger (1980), and Britannia Hospital (1982). ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

This spin-off from the British cop series XYY Man was built around two of the earlier series' most popular characters, Detective Sergeants Bulman (Don Henderson) and Willis (Dennis Blanche). On this occasion, the two protagonists were attached to Unit 23, a Northern police squad assigned to handle difficult cases all over the British Isles. During the series' third year, the members of Unit 23 concentrated their efforts in a single crime-ridden district, and accordingly the group was renamed the Inner City Squad. Created by Murray Smith, Strangers was carried by Granada Television for 32 hour-long episodes from June 5, 1978 to October 20, 1982, ultimately yielding a spin-off of its own, Bulman. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Brideshead Revisited
Evelyn Waugh's 1945 novel Brideshead Revisited was offered to television viewers in this 11-part adaptation that originally aired on the U.K.'s ITV network. The miniseries, like the book, lays bare the eccentricities of the young British aristocracy, concentrating upon several Oxford students. The story is told from the point-of-view of Charles Ryder (Jeremy Irons), who is sucked into decadence by the "magically beautiful" Sebastian Flyte (Anthony Andrews). Flyte is the son of Lord Marchmain (Laurence Olivier), master of Brideshead Castle, where most of the story (covering the years 1924 through 1944) takes place. Brideshead Revisited was brought to America on PBS' Great Performances series, beginning its run on January 18, 1982. The miniseries created a stir in the U.S. because of its mild nudity and profanity; the presentation had to be re-edited when it was shown for a second time on PBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this standard story about a father searching for his missing teenage daughter long after others have given up, there are a few subplots, such as a woman looking for her own missing son, but attention focuses on the father's search. When he does find his daughter safe and sound -- working in a car rental office -- he cannot believe she just ran away and does not want to come home. After their initial encounter, the question of why she left in the first place is raised for the first time. Given that this film doggedly moves in a steady pace from one scene to the next, excitement is also a missing entity here. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

An international collection of well-known directors contributed to this compilation film, each fashioning a short film inspired by an aria from a famous opera. The approaches vary broadly, from the playful abstraction of Jean-Luc Godard's segment, which illustrates Armide with exercising body-builders, to the more literal approach of Franc Roddam, who transports Tristan und Isolde's story to modern-day Las Vegas. A particular stand-out is Julian Temple's take on Rigoletto, which recasts Verdi as the accompaniment to a contemporary Southern California sex farce. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Based on a novel by Evelyn Waugh, Handful of Dust is set amongst Britain's aristocracy of the 1930s. At sumptuous Hetton Abbey, tradition-bound country squire James Wilby and his wife Kristin Scott Thomas open their doors to well-connected but impoverished Rupert Graves. Graves returns Wilby's hospitality by having an affair with Scott Thomas, while Wilby gamboles about his estate without a clue of what is going on. Wilby's cloistered world comes tumbling down when Scott Thomas coolly demands a divorce, shortly after the accidental death of their young son. Wilby discovers that his divorce settlement will cost him Hetton Abbey; he faces this circumstance by not facing it at all, preferring to escape to South America, stiff upper lip intact, in the company of a dotty explorer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A wealthy, upper-class British widow marries a much younger Italian man with disastrous results in this turn-of-the-century costume drama based on the E.M. Forster novel. After marrying into a wealthy family and then losing her husband, middle-aged Lilia Herriton (Helen Mirren) suffers under the disapproving yoke of her haughty mother-in-law (Barbara Jefford). At the suggestion of family friend Caroline Abbott (Helena Bonham Carter), Lilia leaves her young daughter and in-laws for a holiday in Italy, where she falls in love with the penniless but handsome Gino Carella (Giovanni Guidelli). When she announces her plans to marry Gino, the family dispatches her brother-in-law, Philip (Rupert Graves), to prevent the union. But the alternately caddish and thoughtful Philip fails in his mission. Gino proves to be as charming to other women as he is to his wife, but he's genuinely bereaved when she dies in childbirth. Soon, Philip and his high-strung sister, Harriet (Judy Davis), arrive in Tuscany in an attempt to spirit away Lilia's son. But the principled Caroline turns up, determined to stop them, setting the stage for unexpected realizations and unforeseeable tragedy. Where Angels Fear to Tread reunites Bonham Carter and Graves, who co-starred in the previous E.M. Forster adaptation, A Room With a View. Each actor also starred in other Forster films: Bonham Carter in Howards End and Graves in Maurice. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

In this sentimental comedy, two British World War II veterans (played by English stage and screen veterans Sir Alec Guinness and Leo McKern) have come back to Normandy together to revisit the site of their most harrowing wartime experiences, to look up the gravesite of a fallen comrade, and to look up the prostitute (Jeanne Moreau) who put joy back into their lives. At their hotel, they meet Waldo (John Randolph), an American veteran, who is on a similar mission. Unlike them, however, he is saddled with the company of his disagreeable daughter and her stuffy husband (Geraldine Chaplin and Edward Herrmann) who think they are doing him a favor by coming with him. One highlight of the film is Moreau's rendition of the Edith Piaf classic, La vie en rose. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Originally aired on the NBC network as a two-part miniseries, this all-star adventure is perhaps one of the most complete and faithful retellings of 18th-century author Jonathan Swift's epic social satire on film. Nine years after he set sail from England, a bedraggled, disoriented Dr. Lemuel Gulliver (Ted Danson) returns to his home. His faithful wife (Mary Steenburgen) is delighted to see him, but also troubled, for in Gulliver's absence the conniving Dr. Bates (James Fox) has taken over Gulliver's home and practice and is also trying to force Gulliver's wife to marry him. During his recovery, Gulliver raves and acts out his fantastic adventures at sea wherein he encountered the diminutive but contentious Lilliputians, the gigantic Brobdingnag's and their egalitarian society, the Laputas, who live upon a flying island, and the Houyhnhnmland, intelligent talking horses living in a land populated by wild humans. Scenes of his adventures are deftly interspersed with Gulliver's present predicament in which Dr. Bates, wanting Lemuel's wife and son, has placed the traveller in Bedlam, London's famous insane asylum where he awaits a hearing to determine his sanity. Gulliver's young son holds the key to his release. Filmed on location in Portugal and England, this miniseries is set apart by a top-notch cast and exceptional special effects. In addition to the aforementioned actors, the cast includes Peter O'Toole, Geraldine Chaplin, Sir John Gielgud, Omar Sharif and Alfre Woodard. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Two young girls who believe that fairies are real attempt to prove it to the world in this drama based on actual events. In 1917, there is little to be happy about in the Wright household in West Yorkshire, England. Polly (Phoebe Nicholls) and her 12-year-old daughter Elsie (Florence Hoath) are still grieving over the death of Elsie's younger brother, and Polly's niece Frances (Elizabeth Earl) has come to stay with them after her father was declared missing in action during World War I. Polly longs for some sort of proof that there is a life beyond our own, while the two girls ardently believe in fairies and enthusiastically study legend and lore. One day, Elsie and Frances produce photographs of fairies that they claim were playing in their garden; Polly believes that they are real, and soon the snapshots attract international attention. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Peter O'Toole), author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries and a confirmed spiritualist, declares the photos "as genuine as the King's beard," while illusionist Harry Houdini (Harvey Keitel), who has devoted much time and energy to exposing phony mediums and psychics, takes a more skeptical view. While Fairy Tale: A True Story presents the appearance of the fairies as fact, analysis of the photographs proved them to be fakes (especially after the same fairies were discovered as illustrations in a children's book published before the photos were taken). The real-life Elsie Wright admitted late in life that the fairy photos were a hoax performed as a "little joke" and that she was always surprised that so many people believed them. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Add Longitude to top of Queue
An outgrowth of a 1999 BBC documentary, the two-part British miniseries Longitude goes out on a creative limb by unfolding two parallel stories, each separated from the other by some 200 years. In one of the plot lines, Michael Gambon (who won one of the series' many BAFTA awards) stars as real-life 18th century clockmaker John Harrison, whose invention of a "marine chronometer" would ultimately serve as the primary navigational guide for sailors of his era -- but not without a lot of sacrifice and frustration on Harrison's part. The second continuity takes place in the immediate post-WWI era, as Royal Navy officer (and shellshocked war veteran) Rupert Gould (Jeremy Irons) battles bureaucracy and ignorance to reinstate Harrison's longitudinal clocks for modern-day Naval use. As the action hopscotches between the two story lines, Harrison painstakingly assembles his chronometer and attempts to promote the device to the unresponsive powers-that-be, while Gould tries to carry on Harrison's work without losing his sanity in the process. Based on the book by Dava Sobel, Longitude was originally telecast over Britain's Channel 4 on January 2 and 3, 2000, then was seen in America courtesy of the A&E cable network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

All but forgotten at the time of his death in 1922, controversial British explorer Ernest Shackleton would enjoy a rediscovery of sorts decades later, with dozens of books and filmed documentaries devoted to his "magnificent blunder" -- the failed Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-1916. On the sheer weight of his dynamic personality, Shackleton was able to mount an exploratory journey to the Antarctic, accompanied by a crew of 27 men, among them celebrated Australian photographer Frank Day. Alas, Shackleton's ship was crushed by packing ice early in the expedition, forcing the crew to brave the merciless polar elements for a full ten months. Making matters worse, public concern over Shackleton's plight was shunted aside when Great Britain entered WWI. First telecast in England on January 2 and 3, 2002, the two-part TV biopic Shackleton stars Kenneth Branagh in the title role. The script does not shirk away from the subject's less savory character traits, including his disastrous financial dealings and his blatant unfaithfulness to wife Emily (Phoebe Nicholls). Nonetheless, one emerges from the film with a renewed respect and admiration for the visionary Shackleton and his bedraggled companions. Much of the imagery in Shackleton was based upon the still-surviving films made on the scene by Frank Day, adding extra authenticity to the drama even though the film was made in Greenland and Iceland rather than the Antarctic. The two-part film made its American TV debut courtesy of the A&E cable network on April 7 and 8, 2002; shortly afterward, Shackleton was released on DVD, with four additional hours of documentary footage. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Everyone's favorite collie returns to the screen -- and to her native home back in Britain -- in director Charles Sturridge's faithful adaptation of author Eric Knight's sentimental kid and canine novel Lassie Come Home. When Lassie saves a fox from the hunting hounds of the duke of Rudling (Peter O'Toole), the captivated nobleman becomes obsessed with the idea of purchasing the collie for his adoring granddaughter Cilla (Hester Odgers). Unfortunately for Rudling, the pooch already has a loving family in the form of kindly miner Sam Carraclough (John Lynch), his wife, Sarah (Samantha Morton), and their young son, Joe (Jonathan Mason). When Sam is laid off from his job, however, he is forced to sell the loyal dog to the duke in order to put food on the family table. Incensed at the dog's repeated attempts to escape and seek out her original loving family, the villainous duke charges kennel-keeper Eddie Hynes (Steve Pemberton) with the task of teaching Lassie how to stay as World War II looms ever more heavy on the horizon. When the dogs of war finally stop barking and start biting, Rudling beats a hasty retreat to the safety of northern Scotland with both the child and the canine. Realizing that her newfound companion is far from the people she cares about most, Cilla later helps her ever-loyal four-legged friend escape from the family's heavily fortified compound so that she may begin the 500-mile journey back home to Yorkshire. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Six months after the discovery of a security flaw in Apple's implementation of Java software in some versions of the Mac OS X operating system, the company is releasing a fix.
The software flaw could allow a hacker to install and execute malicious software (malware) on Macs running Leopard and some Tiger operating systems. Once onboard the Macs, the malware could be used to steal information from the computers.
Security researchers claim that Apple has been ignoring their warnings about this problem for months. Five months ago the Java vulnerabilities were publicly disclosed, and fixed by Sun Microsystems (the company that developed and maintains Java), according to a May blog post by Landon Fuller, founder of software maker Plausible Labs Cooperative, Inc. in San Francisco and a former Apple programmer. Fuller also published a proof-of-concept hack on his Web site demonstrating how someone could exploit the vulnerability to attack or even take control of another person's Mac, Computer Reseller News (CRN) reports.

Embattled smartphone maker Palm, Inc. has a date with destiny. On June 6, Sprint will start selling the Palm Pre smartphone, an overdue rival to Apple's iPhone, Research in Motion's BlackBerry Curve, and HTC Corp.'s G1 Android.
Palm, once the leader in the now-quaint category called Personal Digital Assistants, and lately an also-ran in phones, is banking on the Pre to reclaim its former glory.
The phone will retail for $299, with a $100 mail-in rebate for buyers who ink a two-year contract with Sprint to use that company's high-speed Now Network, Palm said today on its blog. The net cost puts the Pre on par with the iPhone, which can be had for $199, after debuting two years ago at an eye-popping $599.

A message on Sikalosoft.com today reads, "Okay, so maybe the Baby Shaker iPhone app was a bad idea." The makers of this Apple iPhone software program—sold briefly through Apple's App Store Web site beginning Monday, before the company yanked it on Wednesday—have a way with understatement.
Evan as Apple lit up an otherwise sullen market yesterday by announcing record financials for its fiscal 2009 second quarter (including a $1.2 billion profit), the company was wiping egg off of its face for somehow allowing Baby Shaker to be offered via its site. The app encourages players to shake their handheld devices in order to silence the incessant crying of an infant. The game features the black-and-white line drawings of a baby as well as the following description: "See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down!" the Associated Press reports. Once the player finishes shaking the device, the on-screen baby is depicted with large red X's over its eyes.

Hard to believe it's been 25 years since Apple's slick TV spot, which aired during the third quarter of an otherwise forgettable Super Bowl between the Los Angeles Raiders and the Washington Redskins, ushered in the era of the Macintosh. The commercial depicts a drab future for humanity (in which, for some inexplicable reason, everyone is bald) a la George Orwell's 1984, featuring rows of gray-clad people complacently listening to "Big Brother" on a telescreen until a woman dressed in bright orange shorts rushes into the room, smashing the tedium with a well-placed throw of her Olympic-style hammer. (YouTube, of course, has the clip if you care to reminisce.)
This commercial, which ran two days before Apple's Macintosh hit the market, was a harbinger of the company's larger-than-life (and highly successful, for the most part) approach to selling technology. The first Macintosh was the original all-in-one personal computer, featuring a nine-inch (22.9-centimeter) monitor, floppy disk drive and eight-megahertz Motorola 68000 microprocessor sitting in a beige plastic tower. Its price tag: $2,500.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs today told staffers in an email that his failing health has forced him to temporarily step down and hand over his daily duties to a surrogate. The memo comes in the wake of published reports last week—after Jobs was a no-show at the MacWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco—that he was in ill health.
The computer exec, 53, last week revealed that he was suffering from an unspecified "hormonal imbalance" that had caused severe weight loss and kept him out of the public eye. Jobs was reportedly successfully treated for pancreatic cancer in 2004.

It wasn't exactly the day the Earth stood still, but for some Microsoft Zune users, it might as well have been when their mp3 players (specifically, the 30 gigabyte models) all crashed at the same time earlier today, rendering them useless. You see, once the Zune freezes, it can't be reset.
"It seems the issue started to happen as devices passed midnight locally across the world, though times don't seem to be exactly synchronized," according to Huliq.com, a blog owned by Hareyan Publishing LLC, in Hickory, N.C.
Conspiracy theories explaining why this happened hit the Web early Wednesday. A Huliq.com blogger known only as "Iria" mused that the "Z2K9" problem began as the Zune devices prepared to flip over to the new year, the first leap year since the 30GB Zune was introduced. (By the way, Iria suggests waiting for Microsoft to weigh in on the problem before turning your Zune into an expensive paperweight.)

iBreviary is a digital version of the Catholic Breviary, a book of daily prayer containing biblical psalms and other readings, created by the Rev. Paolo Padrini, a priest in Italy's Diocese of Tortona, with the help of Italian Web developer Dimitri Giani.

The first song Ya'akov Shimoni ever wrote was called, "Genesis." The lyrics -- in English, Hebrew and French -- were about pollution, global warming, Mother Earth and the destruction of Israel's natural resources. It was 1997 -- long before "An Inconvenient Truth" became a blockbuster and the green movement reached an unprecedented level of hipness.

Not his best lap, but this bike is much quicker than any 1/8 on the track. Easy to brake/slide entering corners. With the low weight, it's possible to overgear so the power is more drivable.

I should agree with Manu.
He was the only one that tested my bike at the Nats (others wanted but racing schedule was so tight...) There are very few tyre choices for 1/8 scale. I raced Venom tyres and inserts due to easier availability for me while other drivers mixed OTO/ZH/Venom tyres and OTO/custom front inners plus OTO/Venom/custom rears. But I think most important factor for the "front end pushing" seen at the video are the crash bars placement. If we look at bike´s mid point of wheelbase, OTO based prototypes place crash bars contact point closer to the front, and CG make them to unload that wheel. My design places crash bar contact point over spur gear and CG is much more advanced and raised. This makes the front tyre to get a lot of pressure from bike´s weight at slow corners. This could lead to an unloaded rear wheel if not properly tuned, but I feel fast enough even in rainy conditions. |
