John McCain will be stuck in 2008 forever, his concession speech on an endless mental loop, with Princess Braindead by his side – [In 2005] as the Plame case unfolded, many Republicans now calling for administration heads accused Democrats of playing politics and conducting an unwarranted witch hunt. They urged at the time that Bush administration officials be given the benefit of doubt. "I do believe that every American has the right of presumption of innocence until proven guilty," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in 2005, when suspicions were focused on top Bush adviser Karl Rove. "Karl Rove has stated that he did not do anything wrong and break any law. I take him at his word." [...] Now that a Democrat sits in the Oval Office, the GOP complainers are unwilling to hold off on predeterminations. The administration is "intentionally leaking information to enhance President Obama's image as a tough guy for the elections," McCain recently said. "That is unconscionable." — HuffPo
Republicans vote to block transparency on political ads (you don't need to know who wants to buy government) – The Republican opponents "of a new rule to post political ad information online have opened up another front in a long-running fight, inserting language into an appropriations bill that would bar the Federal Communications Commission from implementing the transparency measure," ProPublica reports. – Political Wire
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels called for the elimination of public sector unions — Wallace… asked whether Daniels would like to see public-sector unions disappear entirely. 'I think government works better without them, I really do,' Daniels replied." In 2005, Daniels signed an executive order that "eliminated collective bargaining rights for government workers." As a result, workers in the state "receive lowers salaries and must pay higher health care costs." – HuffPo | Note: And there's the common theme to every GOP argument about employment: lower salaries and less benefits for workers (ALL workers). Lay people off so they'll accept less just to be employed again. The job 'creators' take in more profit, bank more bonuses, continue killing the middle class.

"This was a booming place. And Mitt Romney and Bain Capital turned it into a junkyard" – The ad features Donnie Box, who lost his job of 32 years at Kansas City's GST Steel after Romney's firm took it over. "Romney and Bain Capital shut this place down," Box says in the commercial, standing outside a shuttered factory where he used to work. "They shut down entire livelihoods. They promised us healthcare package, they promised us [they'd] maintain our retirement program, and those were the first two things to disappear. This was a booming place. And Mitt Romney and Bain Capital turned it into a junkyard. Just making money and leaving." – Maddow Blog
Dear Mr. Romney, please explain why America will be better off when more teachers, cops, and firefighters are unemployed – As a rule, gaffes tend to capture the political world's attention, but in this case, we have something more significant than a soundbite — we have a policy position. Indeed, the Republican nominee for president seriously believes we can "help the American people" by laying off, not just public-sector workers in general, but specifically cops, firefighters, and teachers — and his background as a one-term governor makes clear he means it. This is so far from the mainstream that even Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) wouldn't endorse Romney's line… the Republican governor said, "I know in my state our reforms allowed us to protect firefighters, police officers and teachers. That's not what I think of when I think of big government." [...] The differences between Obama and Romney on this have the potential to drive the presidential campaign: does it help or hurt America when hundreds of thousands of school teachers and first responders lose their jobs? For the first time in generations, the two major-party presidential candidates answer that question differently. — Steve Benen
Tea party activists say they'll abstain from voting on Election Day – "I have heard from various folks in the tea party that they would rather stay home," said Ana Puig, the state director of FreedomWorks, a conservative activist training group. "I'm hearing that from people all over the country and on Facebook." The Romney rejection stems from the deeply held belief by many conservatives that the former Massachusetts governor is really a moderate wolf in conservative sheep's clothing. [...] "The same things were said about [2008 GOP nominee] John McCain," Burkholder said. "When McCain won the nomination, we were for Romney because he was more conservative than McCain. You can see how far the conservative movement has come now that Romney isn't conservative enough." – PennLive.com
Obama to focus on Michigan recovery — Instead of just focusing on the turnaround of General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, which rebounded since the $85 billion federal auto bailout, the Obama campaign intends to shine a weeklong spotlight on other manufacturers, restaurants, tourist spots and firms that benefitted from the auto recovery… Sen. Carl Levin, D-Detroit, will kick off the Michigan Road to Recovery Tour on Monday with a press call. — Political Wire
Wake up and smell the coffee: What's wrong with a third of union members and a third of government employees? A strong majority of union members support President Barack Obama, but about one-third back Mitt Romney, a new survey on Monday reveals. Indeed, 57 percent of union workers would vote for Obama, while 35 percent support Romney, according to a Gallup Poll. [...] Meanwhile, government workers — whether union members or not, continue to support Obama over Romney: the former 59 percent to 34 percent; the latter 48 percent to 44 percent. – POLITICO | Note: what exactly do you not understand about what Romney / the GOP would like to do with you if you belong to a union or have a job in the public sector? HINT: they don't consider YOU a member of 'the American people' who deserve 'help.'
What to expect from a Romney presidency, by his own actions in Massachusetts, in his own words today: less police, firefighters, and teachers — less employment, economic recovery, education, security, and services:
David Axelrod: Mitt Romney 'Living On A Different Planet' – "We're not going to win, and our kids aren't going to win, unless we invest in education," Axelrod told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week." [...] "So I would suggest he's living on a different planet if he thinks that's a prescription for a stronger economy." "What was most interesting is how he reacted to the spirit of the thing, because his statement was, 'We don't need any more teachers, we don't need any more firefighters or police,'" Axelrod said. [...] "I think the American people are smarter than that," he said. "They understand the president called the press conference to say that because of the storm clouds that are rolling in from Europe and elsewhere, we need to undergird our economy." – HuffPo
Van Jones slams Mike Huckabee: The average teacher doesn't make $100,000 – "Look, first of all, maybe I [was] raised wrong, I never heard of this threat to American called 'public employee,'" Jones said. "In my neighborhood, we called them teachers, we called them firefighters, we called them cops, we called them nurses. And we were told to look up at them and respect them. And to now be a punching bag, people like my father and my mother, who were public school teachers who did not make $100,000 and whatever you just said and nothing near it, for them to become a punching bag is wrong." "Furthermore, I think we to need to take a big step back here. When you have the amount of pain in this country, the Republican Party has not only been missing in action, they won't pass their own bills to help Americans right now. They won't pass their own ideas to help small businesses right now. Why? Because their gain will come when America has more pain." Jones added: "It's like Obama is a lifeguard, trying to help people from drowning, and these guys are sitting back hoping more people will drown. That's wrong, that's morally wrong." In Chicago, the average salary for a teacher is currently $50,577, including all benefits. – Raw Story | Note: what kind of an out of touch idiot (or bald-faced liar) would claim the average salary for a teacher is $100,000 a year?
Krugman: Obama 'screwed up' the 'private sector is fine' line — The Nobel prized-winning economist explained how the president was technically correct in comparing the private sector numbers to its anemic public sector counterpart, but further added how Obama was clumsy with his words. "By this point in Obama's presidency, if we had normal sector job growth, we'd have 800,000 more people: firefighters, schoolteachers, police officers. Instead, we've got 600,000 fewer," Krugman said. "So right there, it's like 1.4 million jobs that we should have had in the public sector. That's what he was trying to get at and of course, he screwed up the line." – Raw Story

Restorative justice: Transforming corrections
from Daniel Patrick Dowen's article on Corrections.com:
Restorative Justice is a different framework for reducing recidivism and providing public safety. It is not a program. It is a collection of concepts put into action to administer justice as a process that involves the victim, the offender and the community. It does not seek to undermine or mitigate the punitive characteristics of incarceration. Taking responsibility is fundamental and therefore more difficult for the offender. Restorative Justice Principles facilitates changing the offenders' thinking and raising their level of moral reasoning. It attempts to teach offenders empathy and compassion for human suffering. Both qualities many offenders lack through inadequate childhood socialization, neglect or abuse.

SYRACUSE -- Inside the War Memorial in downtown Syracuse, students at Onondaga Community College took their final steps together as students.
Now -- they are graduates.
"Today is a great today," said graduate Zephaniah Horton. "An accomplishment for myself and my family."
"I'm so happy for all my fellow graduates," said graduate Chris Borncamp. "It's a very exciting time for what lies ahead."
What lies ahead for these graduates depends on the individual. Some of the more than 1,400 members of OCC's Class of 2011 will brave the tough job market. Others will continue their education at a four year school.
Horton said he plans on pursuing a career in law enforcement, but will attend Syracuse University in the fall to study public health. Borncamp said he'll be heading to Syracuse University as well, to study public relations and advertising at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
Futures aside -- students and their families celebrated a job well done this afternoon. They say they'll look back at OCC with fond memories and hope the school serves as a stepping stone to even more memories going forward.

Frozen dishes: The best options
It gets no respect, frozen food, but your grocer's freezer is a culinary treasure trove. And I'm going to prove it to you. Over the past few weeks I've trolled the freezer aisles in markets all over the area to come up with a list of frozen dishes that are just plain delicious.
No complete meals here. I found that when a microwaveable tray contained more than one item, neither flourished in the reheating (exception: Indian entrees featuring a stew and rice). I also found that specialty grocers have the most interesting frozen offerings. Supermarket freezer cases tend to be dominated by the big national brands, few of whose wares impressed me. Invariably these products are long on salt, sugar and unpronounceable ingredients, short on the flavor and texture of real, wholesome food.
Most of these products are reheatable in the microwave, but in a few cases they require an oven or even a skillet. The key to fooling friends and family into thinking that you labored over a hot stove is to transfer the reheated food into a pretty dish, add a little parsley and hide the empty box. --ERICA MARCUS, email@example.com

All jet fuel arriving at 500 mph also stops inside tower high up, ignites and produces a FIREBALL! Soon after NYPD arrives and fences off the engine landing area, while people continues walking around, buying (eating!) pizzas, phoning, shopping, etc. I like the fat mama walking in the middle of the street prior fencing off. She hasn't eating cooked food for years, just chips and chips, etc. and is too busy to observe action around her. An average US observer?
The 'fat lady' is like the bow-legged Chinese Illusionist who used to make the Round fishtank appear with live fish from 'thin air' whereas in reality he used to have to act bow-legged all his working life because it was between his legs that he would carry the fish tank on 'working' days.
The 'fat lady' is really a size '0' but has been preparing for this very event at the behest of TPTB by having to carry an aircraft 'engine' at oppportune times and then 'deposit' same engine and move on unnoticed!
She may also have been in the crowd at the site of 'Flight 93'!

OCZ Technology Group, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) and memory modules for computing devices and systems, announces the launch of The RevoDrive X2 PCI-Express SSD, a follow-up to the successful launch of the first RevoDrive, with increased performance and capacity to serve high-performance computing consumers. The RevoDrive X2 upgrades the original architecture to deliver unprecedented speed up to 740 MB/s and up to 120,000 IOPS, nearly triple the throughput of other high-end SATA-based solutions with a substantial reduction in the total cost of ownership (TCO) to the consumer. The product is available now through OCZ's global channel. "The original OCZ RevoDrive SSD was designed to be the first high-performance, bootable PCIe SSD solution and has become a popular choice for demanding computing applications that require faster, more reliable storage," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology. "Building on the success of the original design, we are excited to introduce the RevoDrive X2, which delivers both increased performance and capacity, making the RevoDrive X2 a viable option for a wide spectrum of applications that include professional graphic design, multimedia rendering, and workstations. With our recently announced new state-of-the-art SSD manufacturing facility in Taiwan, OCZ will continue to be at the forefront of developing and deploying game-changing solid state storage solutions." The RevoDrive family gets its edge by eliminating the SATA II (3Gbps) bottleneck and leveraging a PCIe x4 interface to exploit the full potential of current flash technology. Like the original RevoDrive, the X2 uses an onboard RAID 0 design, but it also employs four SandForce-1200 controllers versus two in the original to maximize data access and bandwidth. In addition to promoting a faster, more responsive PC experience, the RevoDrive X2 is bootable, unlike competing PCIe solutions, to ensure quicker start-ups and load times compared to mechanical hard drives, a major plus for workstation PCs. The RevoDrive X2 thrives in a wide range of computing environments including demanding database and server applications as well as multi-media creation and management. Available in 100GB to 960GB capacities, the OCZ RevoDrive X2 provides ample room for data warehousing, applications, multimedia files, and operating systems. Additionally, the X2 provides the superior durability, energy efficiency, and reliability of SSDs. For more information, visit the product page.
So this won't require any additional power or sata connectors right? Just plug in and go? Oh, does this support trim, since it has on onboard raid 0?
No sata connections as it uses a pci-e x4 slot, and no additional power outside of the power from the mobo. Don't know about trim support, but it'd be a safe bet to assume it does although the product page specifications don't mention it. And yes, easy plug and play solution. I'm glad they finally came out with a RevoDrive solution that isn't just over 256GB of space. Yes, there is one 50 gig and one 80 gig that I know of, but they aren't common like the 512GB. I hope this product releases with a better MSRP than the original RevoDrive.
When you consider current prices and conventional SSD speeds these come pretty cheap for the performance.
yeah, i mean if i had a stack laying around id jump for the 360gb, but I don't ;P ..I'm actually saving up money to replace the suspension on my Kia, but hey that's what college is for..
Just like a normal PCI-E based RAID card, the BIOS detects it and allows you to select it as a boot drive. In fact IIRC these use just a standard RAID chipset found on a normal PCI-E RAID card. It just combines the SSDs on the same package. So it is a stadard RAID controller(I believe from Silcon Image, but don't quote me on that), and 4 standard sandforce SSDs all put together in one nice neat package.
when i see something like this i immediately think of SCSI and how it was superior to IDE but never made commercial success because of its price. everyone then argued that SCSI would eventually come down in price as more people demanded the faster drives but by the time that happened we got SATA. i think what we have here is another expensive solution to speed problems. some new technology is probably being tested right now that won't be as fast but will cost way less.
Being tested? It already exists. 4x G.SKILL Phoenix Series FM-25S2S-120GBP1 2.5" 120GB... + HighPoint RocketRAID 2310 PCI Express x4 (x8 and x... = 480GB that is virtually just as fast for $1000, or $400 less than the OCZ RevoDrive. It just isn't as pretty and in one nice package.
With the Sandforce 1200 chip you don't really need trim support. EDIT: So, nobody would like to see a heatsink on the card?
oh i know that it exists. i am commenting on not only the packaging but on the actual raid and ssd technology. while it appears SSD is here to stay, RAID is still too expensive for most consumers to justify. i am thinking as more and more SSDs are produced we will see some other new technology that greatly enhances how they operate with the system they are in.
When it's idle it pulls 3 watts of power. 8 watts when it's active. How much heat could it possibly generate?
True.. but i don't have a window on the side of my case for nothing.. hehehe Edit: Actually I have the whole side off of my rig.. lol but really for the price could they not put one on it?
Nice i like it. Didn't OWC make one with a shroud? i think Btarunr showed us that the other week.. right? Maybe when other companies jump in they will start promoting this feature to get sales.
Ah, yeah, I see what you are saying. These are really designed for servers and workstations, so machines that won't have the insides visable. Though I would probably prefer it without a shroud, to show of the card in all its glory.
Can you even do TRIM through a RAID0 controller? I always thought that because the OS detects the RAID Array and not the individual SSDs that TRIM wouldn't work in a configuration like this.
I would like to just point out that I'm sure those prices are taken from the "Buy It Now" sidebar on the OCZ Product Page, and are probably not OCZ's MSRPs. I wonder if we will see lower prices as these cards make their way to other retailers that might have better pricing? (Newegg, etc).

Maybe they should call this the "reclamation" route since it sat unrepeated for years after the first ascent, which left the route in a less-than-perfect state for repeat parties. Fortunately Western Slopers Jeff Achey and Lee Sheftel became bored enough to have a go at the thing, Achey removing many of the hanging death daggers that littered the route and Sheftel moving a bolt or two. Now it's a pretty fun climb and isn't all greased-out like everything else at Ruckman. This is the long route on the overhung, pocketed buttress between In Your Face and Firearms. Boulder up a crozzler crack thing then move right into big pockets. Pumpy climbing leads to a crux roof and a perplexing headwall, after which you step right and clip the anchors on Firearms. Be careful when pulling your rope lest it end up in the fetid mud pit beneath the route.
10-11 quickdraws.
Finally climbed this route. Always wanted to get on it even when the humongous pillar was splattered with a chalky "X," but belayers were scarce whenever that route was mentioned...come to think of it I can remember talking some people out of doing it so I didn't have to endure an Eiger Nordwand belay simulation. Great job by Lee Sheftel and Jeff Achey (?et al) for what must have been an epic cleaning job.
Is this the one that is between Fire Arms and In Your Face? If so, [yeah], this is a very cool route with a little crux at about 2/3 height. Felt about as hard as Fire Arms, but more fun to climb.
The route is named "Return to Sender" in Pegg's guide.
This climb has its own anchors, you do not clip the anchors on Firearms.
I put up this route back in the diem and sadly was not able to remove some scary blocks due to traffic at the base area during the busy time I was there. The X marks scared folks off, even though you did not need to touch them to climb past. I'm glad Jeff and Lee cleaned up my mess so people can enjoy a cool line with interesting moves. Thanks! I think my original name was something like "Cap-gun". Btw, in Idaho we call that 11d (not 12b). Cheers, DB

Sugar cookies and other favorites bring back holiday memories
I always liked the red sugar sprinkles and Santas the best. My sister, Pam, was a fan of the chocolate sprinkles and the bells. My brother, Mike, liked the chocolate decorations too, but he would rather decorate the Santas. One thing we all agreed on: We had to have decorated sugar cookies for Christmas.

Announcing the 2014 Croquet
Postcard/T-Shirt Design Contest!
Each year the Alumni Office creates a new postcard to announce the annual SJC vs. Navy Croquet Match (a.k.a. "The Annapolis Cup") to our alumni—and the world. The postcard image—original artwork by a member of the college community—is then printed on hundreds of t-shirts worn by Johnnies, Midshipmen, and Townies. Imagine that you are this year's featured artist!
To be considered, submit your original design/artwork to the Alumni Office no later than midnight, Wednesday, January 15, 2014. The contest is open to all members of the St. John's College community (students, staff, faculty, alumni, parents, and friends). The winner will receive a reserved prime viewing area, with a picnic basket chock-full of festive goodies, at this year's Croquet match

I love to sew, I love to craft, and I love to repurpose. I always have some sort of project going. I have been upcycling vintage linens for the past two years. This is a form of repurposing, so good for the environment! You can find me selling some of my designs at local farmers' markets in Placer County, CA and at local craft shows and events. I also have a little Etsy shop where I specialize in vintage pillowcase dresses and much more. I wasn't able to upload my designs this past year as I have been caring for my 87 year old mother who had a stroke and broke her hip - and that kept me quite busy. She is doing much better now so I hope to get back to my Etsy shop soon, so stay tuned...

Our Lady of the Lake Voice Center evaluates and manages voice, swallowing, and airway disorders, and is a collaborative effort of Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, the LSU Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and the LSU Department of Communication Disorders.
The Center treats voice disorders and specializes in care for those whose occupations make them more prone to vocal problems, such as singers or speakers.
Watch as Alicia tells her story about her encounter at the OLOL Voice Center.
The human voice is a blessing we exercise every day. We all use it for communication with our family, friends and coworkers. Some rely on their voice professionally as clergy, teachers, salesmen and singers. Sadly, most of us take our voices for granted until we lose our ability to speak. Now, Our Lady of the Lake Voice Center is here to provide specialized voice treatment to protect our special gift of voice.
The larynx controls the normal production of voice and directs food and air to the appropriate pathway. Voice is generated by the vibration of the vocal cords, which are located within the larynx. Hoarseness occurs with interference in the vibration of the vocal cords. We evaluate this disturbance through the use of videostroboscopy: a camera system that uses a strobe light to improve visualization of these vibrations.
Dedicated to the evaluation, treatment and improvement of all types of voices and related disorders, the clinic is led by Dr. Andrew McWhorter, - an ENT physician with fellowship training in voice, swallowing and airway disorders. The Center is also composed of on-site speech pathologists-specialized healthcare providers trained in voice and swallowing rehabilitation. Additional specialist services for patient care are coordinated as needed. Through the dedication of this multidisciplinary team, Our Lady of the Lake Voice Center is proud to offer care otherwise unavailable in this region.
Voice disorder symptoms can seem mild at first and often progress to more severe problems. Early diagnosis can ensure effective treatment, so if you experience any of the following problems, consult your primary care physician or contact us at Our Lady of the Lake Voice Center.
These problems are often signs of other medical complications, we often consult with specialists in gastroenterology, internal medicine, neurology, pulmonology, and other disciplines, as well as singing teachers and voice coaches.
Our services extend beyond voice to patients with laryngeal cancer, rehabilitation of head and neck cancer patients, narrowings in the airway and swallowing disorders.
Laryngeal Cancer
Airway Disorders
We assist patients with narrowings in their airways to help avoid tracheotomy or remove those tubes already placed. Some patients that require long-term tubes can be fitted with more functional and comfortable alternatives.
Swallowing Disorders
We evaluate and diagnose swallowing difficulties and specialize in swallowing restoration following therapy for head and neck cancer patients.
Procedures Performed
Andrew J. McWhorter, MD Laryngologist
Dr. McWhorter is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio and a graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He remained in Baltimore and completed his surgical internship and residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. McWhorter completed his fellowship training at The Vanderbilt Voice Center in Nashville, TN under Robert Ossoff, M.D., DDS. He assumed a faculty position at LSU in New Orleans where he remains as assistant professor and the Director of the LSU Voice Center.
Melda Kunduk, PhD, CCC-SLPSpeech Pathologist
Dr. Kunduk is a native of Istanbul, Turkey and completed her masters in speech pathology in London, England. She then returned to Turkey and worked as the first speech pathologist in that country. She later came to the United States and the University of Wisconsin where she completed her PhD under Diane Bless, Phd. Dr. Kunduk is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Disorders at the LSU Health Sciences Center, New Orleans.
Rebecca A. Repp, MA, CF-SLPSpeech Pathologist
Mell A. Schexnaildre, MA, CCC-SLPSpeech Pathologist
Ms. Schexnaildre is a native of Louisiana and received a bachelors of science degree in communication disorders and masters of arts in communication disorders from LSU. She has worked in Baton Rouge as a speech pathologist with an interest in voice since 1989.
The OLOL Voice Center is open Monday - Thursday, 8 am - 4 pm and Friday, 8 am - 1 pm. Call (225) 765-5335 for appointments.

What's the best laptop 2014? We've got all of today's latest laptops compared and rated.
Now that Windows 8 is a year old, we've got a huge number of laptop-tablet hybrids appearing as well as plenty of traditional laptops using the new OS.
And that's before you get to Apple's hugely successful MacBook line as well as Google's Chromebooks.
No wonder choosing the right laptop can be even more confusing than ever.
Thankfully, things aren't like they used to be, and buying anything but low end laptops will get you a reasonable standard of performance.
Cheap laptops are more powerful and capable than before, while high-end devices are often perfectly good replacements for your desktop computer, able to cope with more intensive programs.
Those after a fast boot up time and a lightweight machine to carry might drool over an Intel Ultrabook, which is essentially a marketing name for a thin and light laptop with an Intel Core processor.
Serious gamers will want a machine tailored to their graphical and processing needs, while those after flexibility might fancy a convertible laptop-tablet hybrid.
Here we look at some of the best laptops for 2013 - those that really excel themselves in our extensive testing processes this year. We've arranged them into categories to help you find the best one to suit your needs.
We also list the current selling prices in the UK, Australia and the US, although in some cases a laptop listed here may not be available in every territory.
All of the machines listed here are laptops. We have also listed the convertible laptop-tablets that fall more on the side of laptop than tablet, and that includes devices such as Microsoft's Surface Pro.
Similarly, all-in-one touchscreen computers and other desktop PCs are in our PC and Mac desktop reviews page.
PRICING NOTE: The prices listed here are for guidance only and aren't guarantees of availability at a certain price. Because of the wildly fluctuating availability of certain models, we often review laptops by series. As a consequence it may be that there are tens of models with similar or the same name, vailable at various price points.
When considering what to buy, think about your needs and your most important factor, be it laptop battery life or screen size. The most important part is to be honest about what you need, and you could save a fortune on getting the best laptop for you.
Best laptop-tablet hybrids
Since this article seeks to round up the best laptops available, we are only listing those we have fully tested and reviewed in real life situations. More laptop-tablet hybrids will be reviewed as soon as we get them in for testing, so we expect to add more impressive convertible tablets to this list later.
For now, here are the great machines we have tested and loved so far:
1. Lenovo Yoga 11S review - £680/AU$889/US$800
While other manufacturers are busy pointing fingers as to why the PC seems to be struggling in the face of competition from that Cupertino-based company and myriad tablets, Lenovo is both pumping out solid Windows 8 devices while at the same time, turning a profit. Which brings us to the Lenovo Yoga 11S.
Of course, this isn't Lenovo's first time on the yoga mat. The 13-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga was released last year to very favorable reviews. The appropriately named 11s is a size down. At just 11.6-inches, it's the smallest form factor that can support a full QWERTY keyboard.
2. Microsoft Surface Pro - £684/AU$889/US$800
We've been waiting quite a while for a tablet like this - and not just since it was announced last year. If you ever saw a Windows tablet PC and wanted one that was done properly, you've been waiting years for Surface Pro with ful Windows 8.
What's more, it's now a steal - discounted prices that went into effect in early August are here for good, at least in the U.S., with the Surface Pro, Touch Cover and Surface RT all seeing some slices. What's more, there appear to be price cuts going into effect globally, with the Microsoft UK and Australiawebsites showing discounted pricing for Surface and accessories.
Read our Surface Pro review
3. Acer Aspire P3 - £700/AU$1,250/US$900
Acer has upped its game in recent years, and it's easy to forget that just two years ago the Taiwanese giant made its money peddling identi-kit budget laptops by their millions.
The company has since turned around its reputation and is responsible for the glorious Acer Aspire S7 - one of finest Ultrabooks out there - and has also got chins wagging about the Acer Iconia W3 - the world's first 8-inch Windows 8 tablet - as well as the Acer Aspire R7.
Read our Acer Aspire P3 review
4. Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro - £775/AU$1,280/US$930
When you have it in its Ultrabook form, the Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro is maybe not the standout laptop some of its peers are. But when it becomes a tablet, it's a great Windows 8 tab with an excellent screen that's powerful, well balanced in your hands and very responsive to touch. You can go from either mode to the other in seconds, and neither is disappointing. Write on it with a stylus, type on it with the keyboard attachment, navigate with your finger - the Smart PC Pro can do it all.
Read our Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro review
5. HP Envy x2 - £830/AU$900/US$640
The outstanding industrial design in the HP Envy x2 really shows the potential of a tablet/laptop hybrid, and will leave you with little question that this is the direction laptops are heading in. It combines a full version of Windows 8 with excellent battery life in a compact package, with its superb 11.6-inch screen topping things off.
Read our HP Envy x2 review
6. Sony Vaio Duo 11 - £900/AU$1,500/US$1,500
A full Intel Core processor powers the sliding tablet-laptop design of the 11.6-inch Sony Vaio Duo 11, enabling it to run Windows programs as well as Windows Store apps. Its design is a welcome change from the many docking 'transformer' style hybrid devices such as the Samsung Ativ Smart PC and Asus Vivo Tab.
While it's not a perfect laptop-tablet hybrid, and certainly won't have mass appeal, Sony has furthered the Windows 8 cause with an exceptionally powerful device that challenges the perceptions of what tablets can achieve. Also check our the Vaio Duo

Manchester United have contacted Athletic Bilbao to query the Spanish club charging £77.50 a ticket for their supporters to attend the away leg of the Europa last-16 tie on 15 March. United will be charging only £36 to Bilbao fans for the first-leg match a week earlier.
The club have been allocated 1,715 tickets for Estadio San Mamés and while Bilbao have told United that their own support will also be charged £77.50, United are making further inquiries regarding why the price is so high.
Danny Welbeck, who should start for England against Holland in the friendly at Wembley on Wednesday evening, is claiming "there's nothing going to stop" United winning a 20th championship.

damn this dude is retarded. judas sold jesus for 30 pieces of silver
3: Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4: Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
5: And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Dexter said:

That's a good one! It's part-translation, and part-transliteration. Makes it more challenging for the listener/reader.Originally Posted by sunnysnow
One of my favourite sayings. Try this English approximation: Indigo comes from blue, triumphing over blue.Originally Posted by sunnysnow
Hmm, I guess what Yeung Gor meant was typical sayings in Wuxia, right?
That would be:
Wen wu di yi, wu wu di er = In the civil arts there is no first place, while in the martial arts there's no such thing as second best.
Meaning that in the community of scholars, no one would claim to be "the best". But in the martial arts community, everybody wants to be the best.
Anyway, in the Jin Yong novel Yuan Yang Dao, there's a character named Zhou Weixin. He is like a walking encyclopedeia of Wuxia sayings...

Yeah, he was funny all right! He seemed to precede his response to a situation with a saying almost all the time!Originally Posted by Laviathan
This would be "cheng chut yu lam, seng u lam"Originally Posted by HuangYushi
i really don't get how the "indigo" is better than blue though. I know what this saying is used for but just never got the meaning behind it....

Remove Mountain Shift The Sea = Pai San Dao HaiOriginally Posted by babyblues
Yes. That was what sunnyshow brought up in an earlier post in Mandarin pinyin, before asking for the English translation or approximation.Originally Posted by kamii
Indigo is a natural blue dye obtained from the indigo plant (genus Indigofera). To dye fabrics, indigo is prepared in a reduced form which is yellow and water soluble. The fabric is then immersed in this solution to pick up the dyeing chemicals. When the indigo is exposed to air (left to dry outside) it oxidises to a deep dark blue and becomes totally insoluble. (Dyeing process: courtesy of Chemistry Dept website of Edinburgh University).Originally Posted by kamii
I guess it is this stability (totally insoluble) that the saying talks about: that the product of the plant (the colour "indigo") is better than the plant itself (the colour "blue").

SLT-A35 Body with standard zoom lens & telephoto lens
High-speed shooting and Full HD video: versatile kit with two zoom lenses
Dual zoom lens kit: 16.2 megapixel, Live View, Full HD AVCHD video, 5.5fps, 7.5cm LCD, 3D Sweep Panorama
This product is a previous model, however it may still be available to buy.
- Shoot at up to 5.5fps, or 7fps in Tele-zoom mode
- Full HD video with quick, accurate autofocus
- Two zoom lenses cover almost any shooting situation
Super-fast, responsive shooting
Never miss another moment, however fleeting. Explore an exciting world of high-speed shooting responses and smooth, accurate autofocus tracking - even with moving objects. Capture beautiful videos in detail-packed Full HD. All in a light, compact camera that's easy to carry.
It's all in the detail
The high-resolution CMOS sensor assures detail-packed pictures with excellent contrast and gorgeous colours. Exmor technology cuts noise while signals are converted to digital form. The result? Flawlessly beautiful images.
Incredible shooting reactions
Capture fast-moving action or the changing expression of a portrait subject with a continuous burst of images. Shoot at up to 5.5 frames per second, or a lightning-quick 7fps in new Tele Zoom mode.
Discover the artist within you
Create a range of artistic styles, with no PC needed. Picture Effects offers a rich palette of options including posterise, partial colour, retro, high-key, mono and toy camera. Preview results in live view mode while shooting stills or movies.
Amazing HD movies
Capture smoothly detailed Full HD videos with quick autofocus to track the action - even while you're zooming. Beautiful background defocus effects add an extra dimension to creative movie shooting.
Say no to camera shake
Keep things crisp and even. SteadyShot INSIDE reduces camera shake when you're shooting handheld. It's great for atmospheric, low-light scenes without flash as well as high-zoom shots when you haven't got a tripod handy. And it works with all your α lens collection, too.
Notes and disclaimers
Amount of anti-shake correction depends on camera settings, lens and shooting conditions.

I have the following code in Ruby. I want to convert this code into JavaScript. what's the equivalent code in JS?
text = <<"HERE"
I have the following code in Ruby. I want to convert this code into JavaScript. what's the equivalent code in JS?
Javascript doesn't have a here-document syntax. You can escape the literal newline, however, which comes close:
| |||||||||||||||||||||
the pattern To keep oversight with complex or long multiline strings I sometimes use an array pattern:
or the pattern anonymous already showed (escape newline), which can be an ugly block in your code:
| |||||||||||||||||||||
Google's javascript style guide recommends to use string concatenation instead of escaping newlines because the latter isn't a part of ECMAscript:
I think you can try this and other features by first downloading canary chrome and then turning on | |||||||||||||||||||||
You can have here-documents like this:
The method has successfully been tested in the following browsers (not mentioned = not tested):
Be careful with your minifier, though. It tends to remove comments. For the YUI compressor, a comment starting with I think a real solution would be to use CoffeeScript. | |||||||||||||||||||||
You can do this...
| |||||||||||||||||||||
I'm surprised I didn't see this, because it works everywhere I've tested it and is very useful for e.g. templates:
Does anybody know of an environment where there is HTML but it doesn't work? | |||||||||||||||||||||
I came up with this very jimmy rigged method of a multi lined string. Since converting a function into a string also returns any comments inside the function you can use the comments as your string using a multilined comment /**/. You just have to trim off the ends and you have your string.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
I solved this by outputting a div, making it hidden, and calling the div id by jQuery when i needed it. e.g.
Then when i need to get the string, i just use the following jQuery:
Which returns my text on multiple lines. If i call
I get: | |||||||||||||
I like this syntax and indendation:
(but actually can't be considered as multiline string) | |||||||||||||
Using script tags:
| ||||
to sum up, I have tried 2 approaches listed here in user javascript programming (Opera 11.01):
So I recommend the working approach for Opera user JS users. Unlike what the author was saying: It DOES work in Opera 11. At least in user JS scripts. Too bad I can't comment on individual answers or upvote the answer, I'd do it immediately. If possible, someone with higher privileges please do it for me. | |||||||||
Just tried the Anonymous answer and found there's a little trick here, it doesn't work if there's a space after backslash
But when space is removed it works -
Hope it helps !! | |||||
I think this workaround should work in IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera - Using jQuery :
Using Pure Javascript :
Cheers!! | |||||||||||||
I think I discovered another way to do it inline without any invasive syntax on every line. Use Javascript's ability to convert a function to string and create a multiline comment with the
The only pitfall I can see in this is the syntax highlighting. EDIT: Had I scrolled down a little more, I would have seen this answer doing exactly the same thing: http://stackoverflow.com/a/5571069/916553 | ||||
My version of array-based join for string concat:
This has worked well for me, especially as I often insert values into the html constructed this way. But it has lots of limitations. Indentation would be nice. Not having to deal with nested quotation marks would be really nice, and just the bulkyness of it bothers me. Is the .push() to add to the array taking up a lot of time? See this related answer: (Is there a reason JavaScript developers don't use Array.push()?) After looking at these (opposing) test runs, it looks like .push() is fine for string arrays which will not likely grow over 100 items - I will avoid it in favor of indexed adds for larger arrays. | ||||
I program this way:
| |||
This works in IE, Safari, Chrome and Firefox:
| |||||||||||||
This works at least in Firefox:
| |||||||||
This seems to work in Fx 19 and Chrome 24 on Mac
| |||
This is one fairly economical approach, at least in terms of the source code:
would be nicer of course if the "arguments" property were a proper array. A second version might use "" to do the join for cases when you want to control the line breaks in a very long string. | ||||
check this, See also this performance test from different possibilities; the \ variant is the fastest. | |||
i found a more elegant solution, maybe a little non-topic related because it uses PHP, but im sure it will be useful and cuteness* for some of yours... this javascript code should stay inside script tags
in your output html you will see something like
and et voilà!, it gives you code readability in your file. pD: this sample uses json_encode() PHP function, but certainly there are function equivalents for ASP, Ruby and JSP langs. pD: however, this solution have his limitations too, one of them is you cannot use javascript variables inside the encapsulated code. | ||||
My extension to http://stackoverflow.com/a/15558082/80404.
It expects comment in a form

It's not extremely elegant but it's clean enough for me:

In continuation of a series of years of World at War,THIS IS A CONTINUATION BASED UPON URGENT PENDING MATTERS,
The following was a Special Edition of the 2012 Thread:
Thread: WORLD at WAR, Official 2012 Thread (TO BE CONTINUED) Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S.
The following was the 2012 thread:

The following was the 2011 thread:
Thread: The World at War, Official 2011 war thread for North Korea, Iran, Israel, China, U.S.
Follow the past years to see where we are at. I try not to give much BS and only ask that if you do not care for the topic or format, do not visit this thread. Trolls, you will be deleted or blocked, you can start your own thread if you wish, just leave us alone!
As stated at the start of 2012, and now more so 2013 will be the continuation of much chaos economically as well as militarily. We have gone through much doom and gloom already. But now, it is of urgency that we wait to see whether Iran goes nuclear, whether Israel takes it upon herself to attack Iran, whether the US leaves Israel to fend for herself, wether the results of the US election mandates a new era with US relations towards Israel, the Mideast, China, and Russia. Further, we still see the Syrian civil war as a not reaching a climax.
Israel must face the challenge of a nuclear Iran with or without the U.S. to protect her. Further, Syria feels threatened as did Libya where Assad may lash out at Israel with chemical weapons. The Hezbollah may too jump on in. Lebanon and Jordan may face their own arab spring. Egypt may tear up the Israeli peace treaty any day. Turkey looks as Israel with jealousy for Israel's gas and oil reserves in the Med.
China and Russia wish to impose retrictions on America's once global dominance where there will be more challenges to U.S. interests leading to possible military blows.
North Korea's tender young leader has no fear in challenging U.S. might and may cause further military adventurism. He too develops the ultimate EMP weapon to destroy the US.
Pakistan has nukes that could be stolen and/or Pakistan and the U.S. may enter into more vis a vis hotile interactions.
Iran is threatening to challenge the west and is due for a nuclear detonation very soon. What the U.S./and or Israel do to stop Iran is worthy of watching every day.
Iraq is now under Iran's thumb and likely will further become a feifdom of Iran.
Afghanistan is soon to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
India and Pakistan may soon come to blows.
Will the global economic crisis resolve itself, will the crisis collapse the world economy, or whom may come forward with some new currency?
Further, spiritually, 2013 looks to be a year of more turmoil. G-d seems to lost his position in many of the World's people. He will lash out. What will come of signs in the sky? Is that a great comet? Earthquakes? Hurricaines?
Look further at bug-outs or going grey, everyone should be prepping by now in case things really do go bad. I am just saying. Fiscal Cliff? Banning guns? Who is Obama alligned with?
So, if you wish to discuss the above mentioned or wish to hear it from others, feel free to drop in and leave some good 5 stars if you find this inforomation either entertaining or productive.
Peace Out!
