Welcome back to the British Genre Fiction Focus, Tor.com's regular round-up of book news from the United Kingdom's thriving speculative fiction industry.
This week, the results of a celebratory survey about the best Scottish books are in, and does speculative fiction figure in to the top ten? You're damn right it does! On the other hand, only one woman made the grade, and I can't help but wonder what the (predictable) winner says about the contemporary perception of my people.
Stay tuned, too, for news of two exciting new books: The Bone Clocks by Cloud Atlas author David Mitchell is coming from Sceptre in September, and somewhat sooner, in June, a hardscrabble adult fantasy debut by a Bram Stoker Award nominated author.

After Sinister 7 this year my body gave me a giant F you. My legs were tired and I felt completely depleted; the week post Sin I ran 40km when I should have been resting this also did not help my cause. So I decided not to sign up for Merriot Duathlon (where I wanted to get top 3 to apply for Tri Canada POO) and not to sign up for the St.Albert Tri and not to do the Edmonton half marathon. I really wanted to do the St.Albert Tri and the Merriot Duathlon this year because I have been putting lots of km on my road bike and in the pool since Sin ruined my legs and I mixed up my training. Two years ago when I did the St.Albert Tri-a-tri I got second so I really wanted to come back and push hard in the Sprint – however there is always next year and the year after that! Next year I will for sure I am going to race a Duathlon qualifier.
For the last few weeks I have been running 30km/week and a minimum of 30-50km on my bike! I even had a 35km road bike business meeting; it was awesome minus the fact I couldn't clip out fast enough at one spot and ate poo during a meeting so embarrassing. On the long weekends Jesse and I always go to Jasper so of course we were there August long! We hiked/ran Whistlers with Chocolate his first big hike and did all the normal stuff. I got a few good runs in while we were there and our puppy thinks camping in the bomb diggity because the tent is a giant snooze pillow and he thinks deer should be his best friend.
Things are finally back to normal this weekend we are going to the cabin, next weekend we race 5 Peaks Chickacoo one of our favorites minus Devon which is the BEST ONE EVER; and then we will be back in Jasper for September long with our best friends and their new puppy. Him and Chocolate are becoming the best of friends.
Then from there we are back to September, which for me is the busiest time of my life; because I work in a post secondary and I start coaching cross country again. I have tailored my training to cross country specific now, last week was my first week back training specific XC and it was awesome. My fastest 5km time was 24 minutes so I am very pleased and my 30×1 w/ 1 intervals went really well. I will be training XC specific with a mix of ultra training thrown in there (Sunday LONG runs) because on October long I will be soloing the Grizzly Ultra 50km with Jesse and our best friends will be there to cheer us on and help with our pup. Love them AND we get to have a big thanksgiving together.
Anyways back to zooming; MY FAVORITE race series of all time starts in a few weeks the Frank McNamara Wednesday night races – fall races are much harder than spring but they are awesome because all the post secondary teams run them so there its lots of people and I get to run with my team! This will be my 5th year of Franks races between all the members in my family including Josie we have a bizillon franks shirts!
I was looking in to doing Canada Pentiction Ironman next year but it is just too much money right now because we want to buy a house and on top of our normal warm holidays registration alone for the full iron = one week in Mexico; so I am thinking of doing Canada Calgary Half Ironman and my dad and I are doing the 175km Tour de'l Alberta 175km together because he road bikes also!
That is all for now and remember to eat healthy because;

Abstract: | Purpose – Previous studies on scanning behavior have focused mainly on decisions relating to the choice of corporate strategies, leaving strategic investment decisions largely understudied. This paper aims to bridge the gap not just by examining strategic investment decisions but also by investigating the role of information processing capacity in enhancing the relationship between the extent of scanning behavior and the quality of the investment decision. Design/methodology/approach – Cross-sectional data are collected through a survey and analyzed by means of factor analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. Findings – Quality of decision is positively and significantly related to the extent of economic and competition information and the formality of method used to scan competition information. However, the extent of scanning for technology is contingent upon information processing capacity in order to affect the quality of the investment decision. Similarly, the method of scanning for economy, technology and competition information would depend on the information processing capacity to bring about a quality decision. Research limitations/implications – Use of convenience sampling may restrict the generalizability of the findings. Practical implications – As more economy and competition data are scanned, this would improve the quality of decision making, but for technology scanning the data have to be processed further before they can bring about changes in decision quality. For technology-related matters, firms should be investing in the information processing capacity to produce quality decisions. Originality/value – This study uses the decision as its unit of analysis to avoid having to average out the effects of making good and bad decisions often associated with a decision maker. |

Dash Express
There are a lot of different GPS units from which to choose, but the Dash Express is the first to include a cellular connection in its device. It really is the main feature that differentiates it from competitors, so it's even more important that this extra functionality is compelling. So, how do the Internet features fare?
When the Dash Express has a cellular signal, you will see the word connected on the search button at the main menu. Without a cellular signal, you can perform only local search, and the rest of the search options are grayed out. When connected, the default input box at the search window searches Yahoo for keywords you enter. In addition to the Yahoo searches, there are a number of saved search categories, including Airports, Food, Gas and Movie Theaters. The Gas and Movie Theater saved searches make special use of the Internet connection. The Movie Theater search will not only show you the theaters in your area, but it also will list the current show times. For the Gas search, each result also includes local gas prices along with how recently that information was gathered. You also can sort your results by price, which makes it quick and easy to find the cheapest gas in your area.
One of the most-touted features of the Internet connection is live traffic information. As I mentioned before, the Dash anonymously gathers the location information of all Dash units and combines it with trusted road sensors, information from commercial fleets and other data sources to create what it calls the Dash Network. On the main map screen, each street with traffic data shows up color-coded. Green represents good traffic; yellow indicates slight congestion; orange, moderate traffic; and red means heavy traffic. In addition, the Dash uses solid lines when the traffic information comes from its trusted Dash Network and dotted lines when the information is from less-trusted sources. So essentially, if someone else with a Dash Express is on the same road ahead of me, I can get very accurate traffic information. As you drive to your destination, if the GPS unit detects traffic ahead, you will get an alert on your screen with the option to calculate alternate routes.
One of the more straightforward Internet features is Send2Dash. Often one of the more annoying features of a GPS is typing in an address on the touchscreen. With Send2Dash, you can log in to a custom portal on the Dash site, type in an address and then send it to your own Dash, where it will show up the next time it starts. This makes it nice and easy to build an address book. There's even a Firefox plugin, so you can highlight an address and then right-click and select Send to Car.
The Internet-enabled features on the Dash—specifically the enhanced searches—are great features, especially the Gas search. The Yahoo searches also work well as a supplement and second opinion to the internal map of destinations. The traffic, however, is a mixed bag. When it's accurate, it has been a lifesaver. It takes some time and familiarity with the map to interpret what light, moderate or heavy traffic really means, and how much weight to give to the dotted less-reliable traffic lines. Once you figure it out, however, you can search ahead while you commute and often see problems before they affect you.
On the downside, traffic information isn't always as "live" as I'd like it to be. I've seen a situation or two where I've been in pretty heavy congestion or even in stopped traffic a number of minutes before the Dash updates. Of course, maybe I'm the traffic canary in the coal mine helping the rest of the Dash community in the Bay Area. I know that Dash is working on traffic reporting, but for now, I recommend supplementing the Dash data with something like the Yahoo Traffic Incidents Dash application.
Like Apple with the iPhone, the Dash has allowed third parties to write custom applications, "Dash apps", for use on the device. The applications are easy to add from Dash's Web portal, and so far, all of them are free. There are a number of interesting applications, but here are some of the more notable ones:
Trapster—search for and report speed traps and red-light cameras along your route.
Weatherbug—weather forecasts for your location or destination.
Yahoo Traffic Incidents—accidents or slowdowns along your route.
Trulia—local available real-estate with pricing.
Baktrax—a list of local radio stations and the last few songs they played.
All in all, the Dash apps are one of the more compelling reasons to have a Dash Express right now. It's these sorts of programs that move the Dash from a standard GPS to use when you are lost to a GPS you use on your dashboard every day.
Kyle Rankin is a systems architect; and the author of DevOps Troubleshooting, The Official Ubuntu Server Book, Knoppix Hacks, Knoppix Pocket Reference, Linux Multimedia Hacks, and Ubuntu Hacks.
Unfortunately, Dash just got out of the hardware biz.
There are still other Linux-based GPS devices out there although none that are quite as hackable.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

It really can sound and feel just like a tube amp.
The Rocktron Velocity 300 Rack Power Amp was designed in a joint effort between Rocktron and integrated circuitry design engineer Derek Bowers. The Velocity 300 is the first commercially available amplifier to be based on current-feedback technology. This technology provides extremely high-speed, wide-bandwidth amplification. The bandwidth of the power amp section is considerably higher than typical amplifiers based on voltage feedback designs therefore providing much more punch and definition than previous designs have allowed for.
Another of the Rocktron Velocity 300 power amp's innovative features lies in the reactance simulation circuitry (controlled by the front panel "Reactance" control. At the minimum setting of the reactance control, the Velocity 300 will provide the added punch and improved transient response of the high-speed current-feedback design. As this control is turned up, the Velocity 300 will begin to simulate the interaction that takes place between the tube amplifier and the guitar speaker cabinet.
In addition to the high-speed current-feedback design, the Velocity 300 also incorporates Rocktron's unique "Speaker Reactance Simulation" circuitry. This concept is unprecedented in a solid-state amplifier and yields the much-sought-after sound of the most impressive tube amplifiers without the added maintenance and cost and weight of a tube amp.
While other amplifier manufacturers seem to concentrate solely on the harmonic characteristics of the tube itself (and how to recreate them in a solid state circuit), Rocktron suggests it still lacks the tube sound. When put to the test and compared directly with the most popular tube amps, these solid state designs still sound cold and thin.
At the maximum setting of the reactance control, the Velocity 300 will instead sound like a tube amplifier, simulating the interaction between a tube amplifier and a guitar speaker cabinet. The resulting sound is much warmer and fatter, and when compared directly with a tube amp, is virtually indistinguishable.
Order today and get that expensive tube amp sound at a fraction of the cost.

BARREL SCIENCE: Tinkering with barrels allows distillers to experiment with new whiskey flavors.
Image: Courtesy of Buffalo Trace Distillery
Master distiller Harlen Wheatley of Buffalo Trace Distillery draws a bourbon whiskey sample out of the barrel and pours it into a brandy snifter glass. Wheatley raises it into the light; the bourbon illuminates with rich colors of caramel, gold, straw yellow and light brown. He tastes the seven-year-old drink known as W. L. Weller and says, "That's really coming along."
As Wheatley moves onto the next barrel, the glass sits in the light, the bourbon shining brightly and illustrating the chemical change wrought by the barrel. After being poured into the barrel, the colorless spirit sat there or "aged" for seven years. The liquid mingled with the wood, giving the bourbon it's color, taste and smell.
A new generation of distillers have begun to break time-honored tradition and tinker with the barrels, relying on science and experimentation to bring new flavors into the spirits. For the bourbon whiskey business, the barrel is everything.
Bourbon barrel science
All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. Congress declared bourbon "America's Spirit" in 1964 and, according to the Federal Alcohol Administration Act, bourbon whiskey must be produced from a fermented mash of at least 51 percent corn, although malted barely, rye or wheat can be added to the mash. Once distilled, the clear spirit must be stored at not more than 125 proof in charred new oak containers. Coopers have long built bourbon barrels out of American white oak, specifically the species Quercus alba, instead of the popular-for-wine French white oak or other common oaks.
American white oak's durability as well as its ability to hold water and oxygenate it make it favorable for bourbon barrels. American oak is denser and harder than French oak, making barrels less prone leakage. Q. alba also yields different flavor profiles appealing to the U.S. whiskey market, says Brad Boswell, whose Independent Stave Company makes the majority of U.S. whiskey barrels.
"American oak has lactone levels certainly not found in French oak," Boswell says. Lactones, a molecule in oak wood that imparts taste, yield a coconut flavor that can be controlled by cooking, toasting and seasoning the wood. Before a barrel is assembled, barrel pieces called staves air dry either indoors or outdoors. This process slowly degrades the wood "because of the microbial activity that grows and feeds off the wood. The rainwater, snow and the natural elements leach the [bitter] tannins out of the wood," Boswell says.
Once air-dried, the staves form a 53-gallon barrel that is later charred to filter out organosulfur compounds that are not eliminated in the distilling process. Distillers pour fresh distillate into the new, charred oak barrel, and the change begins.
Pressed into the wood
At the chemical level, the wood's lactones, sugars, tannins, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignins interact with the esters, aldehydes, butanols and two-methyl butanols to give the whiskey flavors of vanilla, caramel, spice, toast, smoke, coconut, coffee and mocha. Vapor and barometric pressure push the whiskey deep inside the wood, bringing out more intense flavor notes. Wheatley says the higher a barrel is in a several-story warehouse, the more pressure the barrel exerts on the liquid, pushing it deeper inside the wood. "When it's real hot outside with high pressure you hit the side of the barrel and the bung [stopper] will shoot up four or five feet," Wheatley says. "If it's cold outside with low pressure, it's hard to get the barrel bung out. It will just sit there."
Such observations are valuable for Wheatley and others who have dedicated their careers to studying the complexities of bourbon whiskey. For 200 years distillers did not have the science or perhaps the desire to test the limits. They just followed the procedures and practices from distillers before them: Make spirit from fermented mash, age in new charred oak barrel and bottle.

Q.Will we ever see any Marilyn Monroe pieces by Sideshow, like a Premium Format? You guys have done Elvis, John Wayne, etc. I would absolutely love a Marilyn Monroe piece from you.
Marilyn is a classic, no doubt about it, but Sideshow is unlikely to produce anything with her likeness in the near future. She doesn't really fit with our current focus on monsters, aliens, superheroes, and gore.

SMF Development > Bug Reports
Sent PM's did an April Fool? o.0
Odd. I looked at my list of PMs here and they were all in order (default latest at bottom, and sorted latest at top). Does it happen only after you change the sort order? Could it be browser-dependent (I'm on FF)? Does sorting happen back on the server rather than locally in JS?
I am on Google Chrome 18.0.1025.162 m. (That version is loonng!!) ;D
Oh, I haven't change the sorting. All I have changed in my PM option to put the latest PM's on the top. Thats it. It is the way I have since the day I joined SMF.
Checked on FF too.. Still the same.
--- Quote from: (F.L.A.M.E.R) on May 01, 2012, 05:32:21 PM ---All I have changed in my PM option to put the latest PM's on the top.
--- End quote ---
Obvious question: if you reset that option to its default (latest PMs on the bottom), does it still mis-sort? That would indicate a code problem in SMF, as opposed to a browser problem.
Is there any sign that the sort is not only by date, but also "by group" in some way?
Still got it now FLAMER?
The issue is that the send PM in conversation mode are sorted by the ID of the first PM (not the last), and that of course can lead to funny sorting.
It is probably a bug...

Anisotropic dielectric permittivity: tetragonal-cubic phase transition in barium titanate
A thin section of barium titanate is viewed between crossed-polars, Initially, the sample is below the transition temperature, and since the domains of the anisotropic tetragonal phase exhibit birefringence, it is brightly coloured when viewed between crossed-polars. When the sample reaches the transition temperature, the isotropic cubic phase forms, which appears black.

21H.466 Imperial and Revolutionary Russia: Culture and Politics (MIT)
At the beginning of the eighteenth century Russia began to come into its own as a major European power. Members of the Russian intellectual classes increasingly compared themselves and their autocratic order to states and societies in the West. This comparison generated both a new sense of national consciousness and intense criticism of the existing order in Russia. In this course we will examine different perspectives on Russian history and literature in order to try to understand the Russian E

Delamination cracks in h-BN particles.
h-BN particles were subjected to compressive stress in the (0001) planes (within a silicon nitride particulate-reinforced silicon carbide composite). The occurrence of BN inclusions results from the introduction of colloidal BN into the hot isostatic pressing process. They are formed from B2O3 present as a thin surface film on the BN particles in the barrier layer. B2O3 will be molten during the pressing process and will diffuse rapidly into the powder compact and react with Si3N4 to form BN. Su

Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley urged solution providers to "be ready for whatever's on the horizon" at Tuesday night's Everything Channel's VAR500 conference. Along the way, he offered observations on the state of the economy, education, energy and the environment.
Olympic gold medalist, Rhodes scholar, NBA champion, three-term U.S. Senator, presidential candidate and author -- Bradley provided his unique perspective to conference attendees at Cipriani, a dramatic and elegant location on New York's Wall Street.
After beginning with tales from his basketball days, Bradley stressed the importance of embracing change. "What were you doing 15 or 10 or 3 years ago? What was your company doing? Be ready for whatever's on the horizon," he said.
Specifically noting the role of organizations such as those in the VAR500, Bradley predicted, "We're going to have the economic growth [the country needs], in part because of the people right in this room."
Regarding the economy, Bradley said, with characteristic understatement, "We've been on quite a roller-coaster ride since last fall." He pointed out "bad decisions" under both the Clinton and Bush administrations that precipitated the crisis, along with mistakes by the Federal Reserve, which failed in its role to "remove the punchbowl from the party," when things got too wild. Specifically, Bradley pinned the crisis on the decision to not regulate financial derivatives. "Derivatives drove this economy to the edge of collapse."
Bradley stressed the need for increased savings from Americans, and, though he said, "we're going to get out of it," he offered a grim prescription for recovery, featuring, "reduced spending, and increased taxes -- that's the truth."
Bradley next turned to education, explaining that the education establishment needs to prepare both the "best and brightest" to create new opportunities, as well as to prepare "the broad masses" to take advantage of and implement those opportunities. "But if you look at our schools now, it's not happening," he warned. "The future of this country is being decided in the classrooms now."
Bradley promoted the use of national standards in education, and higher pay for teachers, though he criticized the current system of seniority, in favor of a more dynamic approach. "We have to be able to judge the quality of teachers, and encourage the best ones with the best pay," he noted, to applause from the attendees.
Bradley was more positive on U.S. energy policy. "There's hopeful news," he noted, with increased mileage standards for automobiles and efforts to reduce the consumption of imported oil.
Commenting on our political class, Bradley offered a few sardonic observations. "Some of the brightest people I've met are U.S. Senators. Then there were the other Senators..."
Bradley described the tension between the "cooperative" focus of Democrats and the "individual" focus of Republicans, and concluded "We need both," for the country to succeed. "Tell people the truth; and put country ahead of party."
Finally, Bradley offered an expanded vision of the world. "We need a new era of connectedness," both within the U.S., as well as globally. Referring to the iconic images of Earth from space, he observed, "you cannot but conclude that we have one global environment -- we are truly interconnected, and in a fundamental way -- we are each other's keeper."

For sixty years, the best food writers have been sending dispatches from Paris to Gourmet. Collected here for the first time, their essays create a unique and timeless portrait of the world capital of love and food. When the book begins, just after the war, we are in a hungry city whose chefs struggle to find the eggs and cream they need to re-create the cuisine from before the German Occupation. We watch the city re-create itself, the cafes fill with people drinking cafe au lait and reveling in crisp baguettes the triumphant return of three-star cuisine. The next new thing is born and nouvelle cuisine sweeps through a newly chic and modern city. It is all here; the old-time bourgeois dinners, the taste-makers of the fashion world, the hero-chefs. Paris is spread before us, in all its snobbery and refinement, its inimitable pursuit of the fine art of living.
Beautifully written, these dispatches from the past are intimate and immediate, allowing us to watch the month-by-month changes in the world's most wonderful city. Remembrance of Things Paris is a book for anyone who wants to return to a Paris where a buttery madeleine is waiting around every corner.

Tim -- the former New York City firefighter and survived the fall of both towers having been one of the first to respond with a call and he's with us.
Announcer good morning to you good -- -- yet again September 11.
Yes there -- significant news across yesterday with regard to the first responders and -- health condition down at ground zero for the first time.
The governments have my way that CDC in Atlanta.
-- recognized numerous.
Types of cancers.
That could have been caused or related to.
The coverage down there when folks like yourself for.
So what what what do you make of that conclusion eleven.
Wolf wolf certainly that is the right conclusion.
You know in it in general it's it's harder for the medical professionals to identify this it takes years and years and identify a cause for of these cancers so I think in the big picture this is a very good thing.
Just last week the New York City Fire Department added nine more names to the memorial wall.
Which brings the number to 64.
Who have died as a result of the -- of 9/11.
I suspect now that that number is gonna grow but the last number I heard for the new York city police department was 53 from new York city police officers.
So we have to remember that this terror terrible after this terrible terrorist act.
Is still killing us to this day.
There are statistics from 2010.
-- and new York state department of health nearly 351.
Had died of cancer.
At that time that was nine years afterwards.
-- I mean this number is gonna continue to grow I spoke with.
My girlfriend -- -- -- was a firefighter retired now who found out he had throat cancer.
A few months ago and he's battling that now he said to me this morning that what this numbers just -- just continues to explode.
-- -- reminds me of the telephone company fire.
Back in the seventies -- nearly every -- that responded to that died.
From cancer as a result of that fire I sadly think that -- on that -- debt trajectory right now.
-- has been covered post traumatic stress disorder for a range of long and -- disorders that have been talked about and -- in the in the past but.
Skin cancer breast cancer stomach cancer colon cancer all -- -- -- how how are you doing ten.
I'm doing fine you know -- I feel very lucky I suspect at some point that.
You know something will happen physically I'm fine of course today's very emotional for me.
As this roll up my Brothers in the family's.
Quote we -- we're doing our best it was gratifying to hear last night that they found that an agreement on the museum.
I know that's very important -- the families and the first responders that we have -- installations and we begin telling the story.
For the future generations.
Because you know we're not getting any younger here so.
We have to leave the legacy we have to teach our children the truth about what happened that day.

"BoardRoom" movie shows the evolution of surfboard shaping |
Saturday, 07 November 2009 15:24 |
BoardRoom is a feature length documentary by German director Markus Davids, SOC, featuring the legends of early surfboard shaping.
This pivotal era was hallmarked by surf movies like "Gidget" and "The Endless Summer" which took surfing to mainstream America. In combination of changing attitudes towards surfing and the evolution of the surfboard, a group of a few thousand surfers erupted in to millions over night. Director Davids takes us back in time to the early pioneers of modern day surfboard shaping; craftsman and visionary Hobie Alter teamed up with Gordon Clark, and revolutionized the foam materials used for the next half century. His movie features legends in their own right such as Greg Noll (Riding Giants), Hap Jacobs, Donald Takayama, Larry Gordon (Gordon & Smith), Robert August (The Endless Summer), Dick Brewer, Terry Martin (Hobie), and the list goes on and on. Discover the most complete collection of surf movies and documentaries ever made from the Big Wednesday to The Endless Summer. |

AMD's "Never Settle" bundles may be selling the company's discrete GPU lineup, but it's not leaving its APU lineup lying down. Starting next week, and running up to the end of Q3 2013, AMD will be bundling select A8 and A10 series desktop APUs with Origin-redeemable codes for SimCity, the season's hottest strategy game. Among the eligible models are A10-5800K, A10-5700, A8-5600K, and A8-5500. The freebie bears a staggering US $60 market value, tied with processors starting at $80, leading up to $130. In its marketing slide, AMD pointed out how the Radeon HD 7000D series graphics cores of these APUs outperform similarly priced Intel Core i3 chips by over 80 percent, in the game.
Yeah, it's pretty obvious EA's goal for SimCity is DLCs, lots of them. They'll accept a loss on the base game to turn a profit on future sales.
The game is utter trash, but it's still value I guess... plus it opens up another gate to these neat bundles... like OCZ's SSD ones, or AMD older (video card only untill now) Never Settle bonanza.
So I guess SimCity replaced Nexuiz as the unloadable title AMD gets tossed to sell with their goods. Oh well...I'm sure it will work. There is always a few people who haven't been warned or heard of the horror that is SimCity and Origin.
I may be wrong, but isn't Starcraft a real time strategy game? If that's true then "hottest strategy game" can only mean it can straight from the fiery bowels of the devil. Let's assume that EA's marketing is being honest. Sim City is not, in fact, a strategy game and it is an MMO because of the required online components. Technically then, Sim City is a hot game. It's easy to say that when there is no competition relating to new games yet released this year. I'm bitter. AMD is foolish for picking up Sim City, because they are linking their name with a PR nightmare. If you want to move units then try linking your hardware to games people actually enjoy hmm....bioshock...hmmm. Linking a decent piece of hardware to a rather despised game is...only viable as a course of action if your sales team has been hiding under a rock for the last two months.
Sim City 2013. What a garbage. Cannot save when you want, cannot connect cities borders, cannot create map bigger than 2x2Km...What a waste...
EA - Free games if you buy this card You- Nice,(buys card) (2 hours later) (Start playing game) (1 hour later) Game-You want DLC with that (1 hour later) Game-You want DLC with that (1 hour later) Game-You want DLC with that (1 hour later) Game-You need this DLC for that (1 hour later) You-Fuck it why rebel why, why can't i be a storm trooper right now
Man, I'm rather annoyed that I just bought my A8-5600K. I'm not buying SimCity due to the craptastic always on DRM, but I'd like to play it if I could have gotten a free copy.
Oh baby! I got a client fixing to replace ~15 machines with A10-5800K boxes that I will be building. Looks like I'm gonna be swimming in SimCity codes, sounds like a nice little bit of side $$$ to be had, going into my build-me-a-new-rig fund.
Very nice move from AMD. Bundling AAA titles with hardware is a good tradition, hope they will stick with it
I played all simcity games I can remember since the first one in the 90s, and I loved each and everyone, what makes this one so bad?

Fever of unknown origin (FUO) refers to the presence of a documented elevation in body temperature for a specified time, for which a cause has not been found after basic medical evaluation. FUO is categorized as classic, hospital acquired FUO; FUO associated with low white blood cell counts (immunosuppression); and HIV-associated (AIDS-related) FUO.
Fever, an elevation of normal body temperature, is a natural response of the body that helps fight off foreign substances, such as microorganisms (bacteria and viruses), parasites, fungi, and toxins. Body temperature is set by the thermoregulatory center, located in an area in the brain called the hypothalamus. Body temperature is not constant all day, but actually is lowest at 6 a.m. and highest around 4 to 6 p.m. Temperature also varies in different regions of the body; for example, rectal and urine temperatures are about one degree Fahrenheit higher than oral temperature, and rectal temperature is higher than urine. Certain normal conditions can also effect body temperature, such as food ingestion, age, pregnancy, and certain hormonal changes.
Substances that cause fever are known as pyrogens, which can be either exogenous (originate outside the body, such as bacterial toxins) or endogenous (formed by the body's own cells in response to an outside stimulus, such as a bacterial toxin). Researchers have discovered that there are several endogenous pyrogens, each made up of small groups of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. When these natural pyrogens, called cytokines, are injected into humans, fever and chills develop within an hour. Interferon, tumor necrosis factor, and various interleukins are the major fever-producing cytokines.
In the complex process that produces fever, cytokines cause the thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus to reset the normal temperature level. The body's initial response is to conserve heat by vasoconstriction, a process in which blood vessels narrow and prevent heat loss from the skin and elsewhere. This process alone raises temperature by two to three degrees. Certain behavioral activities also occur, such as adding more clothes and seeking a warmer environment. If the hypothalamus requires more heat, shivering occurs.
In children, the definition of FUO is applied when fever has been present for 14 days with no apparent cause, even though physical examinations have been made and laboratory tests performed. Doctors pay special attention to the ears, nose, throat, sinuses, and chest as sites of infection, since most childhood infections are respiratory in nature. The majority of children with FUO are eventually found to have one of several infectious diseases or an autoimmune disease. In many cases the disease is common, and in some cases an allergic response is causing the fever. Fever increases the body's metabolic rate and oxygen consumption, which can have a devastating effect on individuals with poor circulation. In addition, fever can lead to seizures in the very young. Some possible infectious causes shown in studies of children with FUO are as follows:

Perfect for children with the penguins, unlike my first experience of staking which involved a lot of time falling over on the ice! The staff were also very helpful, recommending the most cost effective ticket option. Will go again.

Went here on Saturday evening for ice hockey and the place is very clean, well maintained, has great staff, good view of the ice but lacking in real atmosphere - probably due to not being very busy. The venue is a credit to the staff who manage and maintain the building. My only real negative is the sound system -... More
my nephew plays ice hockey here so I started visiting to watch him play, he persuaded me to have a go and i found, much to my surprise, that skating isn't as hard as it loks, I can even go backwards (for about 4 metres, b4 vfalling on my ar**)
Not giving right ice shoes and very poor. Can not get a penguin with out taking you shoes of rubish if you want a not so good day out go here but if not don't . Not very good .
It's actually between Meadowhall and Sheffield City centre on attercliffe common. Fantastic for public skating or skating lessons. Also Sheffield Steeldogs and several other ice hockey teams are based there.
home to sheffield ice hockey. a few skate arenas in here. large ice orientated shop that stocks more skates than i cared too see. went with the mrs and friends and enjoyed it. skate skills came back quickly.
Go here every fortnight and always have an enjoyable time. Check out the puck stop shop when you go, they often have sales on which makes them competitive for skates etc.
Ice Sheffield is a twin pad ice centre, with one rink used for ice sport training and public skating and the second, with seating (on two sides only) for around two thousand spectators, for ice sport matches and events. A good venue to watch ice hockey, but I wish there was seating behind the goals. There is also a bar... More
Make sure you take an discount vouchers as skating can other wise prove expensive. It cost more for a child and adult that it would have done to buy a Live card and then the family ticket. But they would not let me do that as I didn't have two kids with me. Make sure you have coins for the... More
I have skated here on a regular basis for several months and I would recommend this venue to others. The staff are helpful, the ice is well-maintained and the drinks/snacks available are cheap. In addition, the seating for people who don't want to participate is comfortable and plentiful. Having only taken part in ice-skating, I cannot comment on hockey, etc.... More

Frequently, individuals use an installment payment plan; they make weekly or monthly payments until they have repaid all of the overpaid benefits. Overpayments can also be recovered by offset from future benefits when the claimant files another claim for unemployment insurance. In such situations, weekly benefit checks are withheld and the claimant is credited for a payment in the amount of each check. In some cases, where an individual is not filing for unemployment insurance, the department may seize State of Vermont income tax refunds or obtain a judgment and garnishment order to attach wages from current employment. All judgments are a matter of public records, such court records being routinely accessed by credit reporting agencies.

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." ~Frederic Bastiat
Political parties defeat checks & balances... Why do you thin the current climate of "hate the other guy" is so dangerous?
Obama is just campaigning again. He knows that there's going to be huge cases (affirmative action, etc) being heard this year and they'll likely swing conservatively. He's setting the stage for the dems to make political points and to ease his next scouts appointment to the left some more.
That's called Court-packing. Every President has done that since Day 1. Obama isn't doing anything wrong here - the Supreme Court decides which cases to take and which not to take. The President is entitled to ask the Court not to take a case, just like you and I are entitled to ask them to take it. The Court can tell Obama to fuck himself - he's a lame duck with approval ratings in the shitter while the Justices are there for life.
There's a HUGE difference between court packing and what FDR proposed. I didn't say that Obama was guilty of shit that other presidents haven't done. I just find it amusing that Obama cited FDR as his hero and FDR tried to change the way the SCOTUS works...to accommodate his own policies.
Klaatu barada nikto
I'm pretty indifferent on this.
But imagine the outcry on the left if a republican were doing this.
In their minds pouring water on KSM's face was bad, but sending a drone to blow up kids in a country we are not at war with is fine because Obama is doing it
Fuck Obama. He's a CIA creation going back three generations.
Save up and buy yourself a 7.62 semi-auto rifle and learn to use it. Not a squirrel gun.
Reactions are funny. What president doesn't douche it up? Yet each individual case is treated like the one anomoly after a long line of Mother Theresas.
Either way, your righteous indignation would likely have more of an impact when ranting about your fantasy football team versus fantasy politics.
By the way, many Americans assume there's a full turnover of "government" when we change Presidents.
There's a huge collection of lifetime government employees who survive every administration and work tirelessly to expand their reach, budget and control.
While it's OK to blame Clinton, Bush and Obama for certain things, we should consider the MACHINE which is geared to grow and grow in DC.
Imagine the leverage that the Administration can bring to bear on the Justices. If Clarence Thomas is in to teen anal, they know about it. If John Roberts enjoys wearing frilly pink under-things in his spare time, they know about it. They can read all of their e-mails, and listen to all of their phone calls at will. Is it naive to believe that they wouldn't use those capabilities to achieve a desired result?
"But one thing I'm finding out about stupid is that it's un-figure-out-able."
