Matchstick Men - DVD
Ridley Scott directs the crime comedy Matchstick Men, based on the novel of the same name by Eric Garcia. Neurotic con man Roy (Nicolas Cage) suffers from several emotional problems, including obsessive-compulsive disorder. He and his partner Frank (Sam Rockwell) swindle people out of money by posing as money collectors who promise things like tax refunds, package vacations, and other fabulous prizes (which they never get). Frank wants to pull a really big job, but Roy is too consumed with fear and panic attacks to join him. Only cigarettes and his trusty illegal prescription drugs seem to keep him going. When Roy finds himself in desperate need of more pills, he is forced to see legitimate psychotherapist Dr. Klein (Bruce Altman). Roy ends up talking about his emotional damage from a troubled marriage and divorce, which results in the discovery of a child whom he has never met. Dr. Klein suggests that he spend a weekend with the kid, so in walks teenaged Angela (played by twentysomething Alison Lohman). Reluctant to develop his role as a father, Roy also gets heavily involved in Frank's ambitious swindle. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

It's been a good run, but Parasound is giving its Model 5250 power amplifier a little upgrade. After six years, the company says that they've upgraded its flagship product, which will now be known as the Parasound NewClassic Model 5250 v.2.
The new product has a few features that are similar to its predecessor. It has the THX Ultra 2 certification and 250 watts for each of its five channels. However, this improvement adds in a better front panel, adjustable (+/- 10 dB) gain for each channel, and about 60 other tweaks to both operating features and circuitry.
"The NC 5250 v.2 provides a terrific solution for home theater enthusiasts who want great performance but worry about the cost of updating a new top-of-the line surround receiver every few years to keep pace with changing technology," said Richard Schram, Parasound's president and founder. "A high quality and powerful amplifier will never really become obsolete. Rather than spend $2,500 to $5,000 for a high power surround receiver every time technology changes, why not spend $800 to $1,200 for a lower powered surround receiver which has the same decoding and most of the same useful features, while connecting its preamp outputs to a 5250 v.2 to give the system a significant increase in audio power?"
Parasound says that the v.2 can deliver peak currents of 45 amps per channel and sustain 385 watts per channel into 4-ohm loads, all thanks to discrete power transistors, dual toroid power transformers, and large storage capacitors.
The NewClassic Model 5250 v.2 is available now through Parasound's dealer network. The company has listed the product with an MSRP of $2,850.

Good news! The nestcam cam back on at 0226hr (as far as I could see).
A can just see that there are 3 birds on the nest - no, I imagined it. One of the chicks has been beserkly cheeping, just calmed down now that I've typed that. Here's a tiny vid of nothing happening, just in case the cam goes down again ;-)
Off to announce the new thread on the old one.
scylla3 birds on the nest
Hi scylla! ;-*Good of you to start the thread! I see the cam was down recently. What a bummer. But I see nice captures of the wingercising as they are almost achieving lift!
Hey scylla - did your access to this forum go out for several minutes? I sent you a PM, so ignore it now! I wanted to say I love your vid of 11 secs - I would have done the exact same thing!
EJ was standing on a fish( considerable leftovers it looked like) in the dark and when the chicks woke up, they saw her with it and then got breakfast! It's now gone...or actually. now that I see EJ's tail bobbing, I think she is still eating it off, off camera. Here's a pic of her feeding the chicks.
EJ's taken off and the one chick is watching her go...
EJ's landed with something in her left talon, but I am pretty sure she took off with it, too. Chicks are unperturbed and continue dozing.
A bit of serious wingercising from both of them. EJ is currently away.
One wingercising & preening, t'other relaxing.
Some serious grizzling as they come together for a cuddle, then start fidgetting again. "Room service? Breakfast is late!"
Still just 2 on the nest.
I'm off to bring in washing which doesn't look any drier than when I hung it out 6 hours ago <sigh>
Morning all. Sorry that I can't stay today. As I switched on just before 7am, EJ flew to the nest, took a piece of fish from the back of the nest and flew. The chicks didn't move. A minute later, she flew back with the fish piece and tried to encourage the chicks to eat. The rest is here on video. They did not get up to feed. EJ has left the fish and flown again.
Good morning all. A nice easy catchup just now. Thanks for the kickoff and vids SCYLLA. Good to see the loopy live cam unloopified now ;-p
Chicks just resting up and there seems to be a bit of fish left on the nest.
I like the colours and spread of feathers in this capture...
Ooh hello MOFFER and good morning. You've suddenly appeared ;-) I thought yesterday's late marathon feed might have involved two fish. I might trawl through my captures to see if there is clear evidence. Have a good day. Cheers :-)
EDIT......thanks for the video clip. I guess the gems are pretty full from last night's feed and the early morning leftovers.
The 'chicks' are just lying down and preening...

SOURCE Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children
Proposed Efforts to Cover More Adults Could Help Reach More Kids
HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nearly 148,000 Pennsylvania children still lack health insurance, despite the commonwealth's longstanding goal of providing "universal coverage" for all documented children, according to a report issued today by Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children (PPC).
Data in The State of Children's Health Care in Pennsylvania 2013 shows about 1 in 20 children in the commonwealth are uninsured, a statistic that has remained relatively unchanged in recent years. Ongoing discussions focused on providing health insurance coverage to more Pennsylvania adults could help accelerate efforts to cover more kids, said PPC President and CEO Joan Benso.
"Research shows us that children of low-income, uninsured parents are three times more likely to be uninsured themselves compared to children whose families have some type of coverage," Benso said. "In other words, insured parents are more likely to make sure their kids are covered, too. So policy discussions about covering more adults could bring good news for uninsured kids."
The report notes there are about 274,000 uninsured Pennsylvania parents, and about 131,000 of them would qualify for Medicaid if Pennsylvania were to expand coverage, an option being pursued by the majority of states. Rather than pursue Medicaid expansion, Gov. Tom Corbett has proposed using federal funds intended for expansion to enable uninsured Pennsylvanians to purchase health insurance on the private market. It is unclear how many uninsured parents would be eligible for coverage under the governor's proposal.
The report notes: "Whether Pennsylvania expanded Medicaid coverage to more low-income adults or implemented the governor's private market alternative to Medicaid expansion, either likely would have a ripple effect that could result in tens of thousands of currently uninsured children gaining coverage - a much-needed catalyst to keep Pennsylvania on track to covering all kids."
Even among insured children, there are health care challenges that need to be overcome, the report found. Of the approximately 1.3 million Pennsylvania children insured through Medicaid or Pennsylvania's Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP):
The report uses various indicators to provide a data-driven snapshot of children's health care in Pennsylvania – its successes, limitations and challenges – and gauge whether children have access to the quality care they need to grow up healthy. The report can help state and federal policymakers identify areas where the commonwealth has made gains or needs to improve in children's health care, particularly as aspects of the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) are implemented.
Ensuring the health of Pennsylvania's children is critical to the commonwealth's social and economic well-being. Healthy children have better school attendance and academic performance, meaning working parents are less likely to need unexpected time off and employers benefit from a more productive, cost-effective workforce.

Detail of Mark Barrow 'YMCK2' 2013.
Stephen Friedman Gallery is delighted to announce its winter exhibition, Threaded Stories, which will take place in both gallery spaces. The exhibition brings together the work of seven international artists who incorporate threaded material in their multidisciplinary practices: Tonico Lemos Auad, Mark Barrow, Geta Brătescu, Sheila Hicks, Ruth Laskey, Lucas Samaras and Fred Sandback.
Presenting both historical and contemporary artists, 'Threaded Stories' offers insight into different generations of artists working across the traditions of Minimalism and domestic craft.
Though Romanian artist Geta Brătescu (b. 1926), American artist Sheila Hicks (b. 1934) and Brazilian artist Tonico Lemos Auad (b. 1968) use different methods in creating their work, they are united in their attention to texture and process through the manipulation of fibre and thread.
A selection of works from Geta Brătescu's 'Vestigii' (Vestiges) series of 1978 feature patches of scrap fabric layered to form a textured collage. Installed on the wall, their tattered edges and patchwork quality appear to hover on the edges of abstraction and figuration. Scraps of bright fabric patterns and hues are mixed and muddled, as their layers often expose the wall behind. A leading figure of Romanian Conceptualism, Brătescu has been the subject of a recent major solo exhibition at MUSAC (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León) and was recently included in the 2013 Venice Biennale and the 12th Istanbul Biennale in 2011. Brătescu's work blurs the lines between art and the everyday, enhanced by her focus on the process and production of art and the linking of her upbringing in Communist Romania.
Based in London but Brazilian born, Tonico Lemos Auad's inspiration is similarly found in the rituals and traditions of his native country. Presented in the exhibition is a selection of the artist's linen collages and hanging fabric screens, inspired by the movement of sailboats across the river in his home town of Belém, North-East Brazil. A further work hangs from the ceiling and includes multiple elements of rope, delicate lace and hand-crafted linen. Auad revels in the organic fibre that transforms under the artist's hand while poetically retaining a sense of its natural structure.
Exhibited alongside Auad and Brătescu, Sheila Hicks has been creating work for over half a century which speaks of her global influences and sits at the intersection of arts and crafts, design and architecture. Classically trained, Hicks describes her work as 'unbiased weaves'; working in both two and three dimensions, she exposes and celebrates the inherent nature of the material. Included in the exhibition, 'Drunken Sailor' features a linen canvas marked in diagonal white lines, across which intertwined strands of cotton are bound together. Deep blues, purples and greens build out of the grid and into our space. The title further evokes a sense of movement as the work conjures up a dynamism that emits a vibrant rhythm.
Mark Barrow (b. 1982) and Ruth Laskey's (b. 1975) geometric and mathematical compositions complement the clean lines in the works by Fred Sandback (1943 - 2003) and offer a contrasting view to the more textured and lyrical works of Auad, Bratescu and Hicks.
Sandback incises the inhabited space with lines of yarn that create substructures and transform its context. The exhibition will feature two works: 'Untitled' features a single 'yellow ochre' yarn marked diagonally across two cornered walls. Its shadow duplicates and pulsates the single bright line. Also installed is a sculpture of black and maroon threads which cross a corner in parallel lines interplaying with the surrounding architecture. The intentional use of yarn in Sandback's sculptures provides a soft and matte contour that resides in the space distinctly and discreetly. While inherently simple and succinct, Sandback's work bears a dependency on the fibre itself which is mirrored in the accompanying works by Barrow and Laskey.
Ruth Laskey has been crafting tapestries using a weaver's loom since leaving the California College of the Arts in 2005, after growing unhappy with the restrictive process of painting. By learning the method of weaving, Laskey embraces a direct involvement with her entire practice: she hand-dyes her own yarn, then interweaves it into the underlying geometric structure of the linen. The graduating colours in the exhibited 'Twill' series toy with our perception and present the conscious result of a meticulous study of the threaded medium.
Mark Barrow's labour intensive works draw a parallel with Laskey's in their method which encompasses the entire structural fabrication. Barrow paints onto linen hand-woven by his wife Sarah Parke, to create collaborative works featuring abstract inter-planar blocks of colour. As the planes of pigment cross each other, the flecks and intonations of the thread are exposed and adapt as we shift our gaze. Barrow titles his works according to the colour and composition in just a few letters such as in 'YMCK8'. Similarly, Laskey titles her works accordingly with the series and dye intonations. While each artist avoids a lyrical title, there is an inherent lyricism in the final outcome which speaks outwardly on the history of the use of the tapestry in art.
Each artist in the exhibition engages with the medium of thread in a variety of ways and yet shares a common focus of elevating this simple and multifaceted material through the manipulation of its natural qualities. 'Threaded Stories' offers a timely exploration into the rising and divergent use of thread in contemporary art and provides unique insight into the parallels of these divergent artists.

They didn't go to Tech once. Everyone knows who the other people are besides the 3 people who weren't chosen, 1 of those being Tech. At least go to him once and get his name out there. MTV producer's suck. That sucked. I'm pissed I watched that to see Tech sit there. Besides all that the show blows.
man some of ya'll are really bitching and arguing a lot over nothing. lmao.
hmm...the host have the name peter rosenberg, typical for channels like mtv, masonic tv
many masons run the media shit
RL98 said:
You must also believe the illuminati run the show, huh?
Anthony Longo said:if you think i need proof, you don't know society. it's really not very hard to imagine.
RL98 said:Oh christ...yes, we all understand that TV shows are scripted, especially in the MTV world. HOWEVER, the basis for this show is a little different. Here's a breakdown of how the original Hollywood Squares worked:
"Although Hollywood Squares was a legitimate game show, the game largely acted as the background for the show's comedy in the form of joke answers, often given by the stars prior to their "real" answer. The show's writers usually supplied the jokes. In addition, the stars were given question subjects and plausible incorrect ("bluff") answers prior to the show. The show was scripted in this sense, but the gameplay was not."
So while I would totally believe that jokes were written, unless you show me proof that they MADE them pick the squares, you are incorrect.
Anthony Longo said:i'll say it again....ALL MTV SHOWS ARE SCRIPTED. so yes mtv makes the contestants pick who mtv wants. welcome to the real world.
RL98 said:He's on two more episodes, like it's been said already. A lot of fans were pissed, but I mean, you can't MAKE the contestants pick him lol.
Give it a chance.
Yea the questions n shit are scripted, obviously, but who the contestants pick isnt. So that part of the show is random.
BMC said:
Haha its gotta be scripted, the answers to the questions that is. i just watched it again and theres no way these guys knew tge answers to half of these questions
You're talking to a crowd of people that has been following Tech for years and in those years he has rarely been so prominently placed on a TV show.
So yeah, people are going to tune in.
Germ-X said:
Tuning into MTV to watch this show just because tech n9ne is on it is kind of stan-sih
I remember the days of thinking Tech would never be on something like MTV. So yeah, I'm going to tune in. It's very cool to see. I don't interpret any of that as 'stan-ish'. It's different with Tech than it is with people like Lil Wayne or Drake. They're on TV every hour.
It's on at 11:30 p.m. What else is there to do on a Tuesday night. You're telling people to get off there ass when you're on this site all the time now.
Germ-X said:
The original point i was making is get off your ass people and go do something productive with your life...you don't need to sit there and wank off to tech n9ne on MTV
(when i put it like that it seems like a stan thing to me)

I wouldn't know what time it is on at. Even if it was on at 11:30 on a Tuesday night i personally would go to bed so i can get up early go to work and then spend the rest of my day doing something fun. Where i live it doesn't get dark until 11:30pm or so.... If i didn't work the next day you can bet your bottom dollar i would not be tuning in to watch this show, I'd be at the beach somewhere.

I have students of all ages and abilities. And I mean ALL ages and abilities. My youngest student is 2 years old and my oldest is probalby in thier 50s? maybe 60s? ( I am not an adult trainer, but offer my kids classes for adults to come play....get where this is going?)
Kids need to PLAY for 60 minutes a day. Doesn't need to be all at once, but a total of 60 minutes of activity a day. Adults need 30 minutes a day. IF YOU BREAK THIS DOWN, IT'S EASY.
Now- part of my new "goals and priorities" for 2013 is to hold myself accountable. So I am really working hard to write my to do list for the day every night before I go to bed. And I schedule Playtime in there. (It's really my workout, but I dont' like boring workouts...so its going to have to be something fun..usually my classes at my studio...I don't stand around and teach...I am soaked when I leave class....)
So here is what I want you to do. Have your kids make a to do list everyday. Here are a few things that you could put on it:
Brush teeth - AM
Get dressed - AM
Pack lunch/snack -AM (If old enough, if not, assistance from an adult will be required. Make healthy choices!)
Play for 30 minutes
Do Homework
Take shower/bath
Brush Teeth PM
Now these are just suggestions...but you get the point? You need to schedule playtime! And if it's crummy outside or there is no time to just go play for 30 mintues...then there needs to be 3 ten minute breaks somewhere to get moving. Relay races to clear the table.....dancing during every commercial on tv......10 jumping jacks everytime he/she reads a page in their book.... It really doesn't matter what...but get moving!!! Most children will have recess at school or PE on any given day, but make it a habit to do something active at home...or home is going to equate to lazy time. Not good. Home should be where habits are formed....goals established and reached.....embraced as a family.
But think about it, we schedule things on lists all the time that are important. Why don't we schedule the one thing that will help keep us alive and well? EXERCISE.
Childhood obesity statistics are staggering. The average kid watches 4.5 hours of TV everyday. 17% of our children are overweight/obese. 60% of those children are already showing signs of battling heart disease and diabetes. and the list goes on and on....
In my classes we play some seriously fun games...and the kids sweat and laugh all the time. They leave sweaty, unstressed, worked out, happy and ready for a great night's sleep. Add good nutrition and it's a recipe for a healthy child.
So start today by scheduling some playtime/workout time for your children. Start the new year ACTIVE. and the HEALTHY AND HAPPY part won't be far behind.

After showing off a monstrous DirectCu II cooled Radeon HD 6970 at CES, ASUS released pictures of another card which probably couldn't make it to Vegas. The GeForce GTX 580 DirectCu II from ASUS is just as beastly as its Radeon cousin. It uses a completely in-house design, with custom PCB that uses a strong VRM; and a triple-slot cooler which uses copper heatpipes that make direct contact with the GPU. The PCB uses an 8-phase GPU and 2-phase memory VRM. Whereas the reference design draws all memory power from the slot, the ASUS version has shifted one memory phase to external for improved overclocking. The VRM makes use of high-grade components, including an NEC-made proadlizer to condition power for the GPU. The DirectCu II cooler uses a large aluminum fin array to which heat is conveyed by five heatpipes that make direct contact with the GPU. Two 100 mm fans are in charge of ventilation. The rear panel consists of two DVI, and one each of DisplayPort and HDMI. The card is bound to have factory overclocked speeds, with room for more overclocking. The cooler, though large and with two fans, is tested by the company to be quieter than NVIDIA's reference design cooler. The GeForce GTX 580 is NVIDIA's flagship DirectX 11 GPU. It packs 512 CUDA cores, and connects to 1536 MB of memory over a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. Source: NordicHardware
Looks well done, very over spec from the looks of it- which is nice Id like to see some more shots of it disassembled and whatnot.
Apart from it being a really really nice looking card, one could argue that the tripleslot cooler puts a heavy strain on the pci-e slot/MB. Would love to see some benches tho!
The PCI bracket handles a portion of the weight as well. I always hold the card level then screw the card in tight to hold the card up (if you can follow what I am saying).
Given how quiet the 580 is under stock and how well it performs, you'd hope this came with a very healthy overclock. I bet it's pretty meagre though. Or you'd hope it was a well binned chip to allow strong overclocking from the consumer, something the VRM points to?
Looks coool, i like it, but it will turn alot of people off since it will take 3 slots on there mobo. Same as the 4870X2 GS GLH from Gainward.
Without the grills the whole cooling solution would be pointless. True, heat is still getting in the case but not nearly as much as without the grill.
You could put it in a silverstone case like the FT02. I think there would be no strain on the pci-e slot... I hope our great leader (wiz) would get one for a review...
Nvidia are limiting the max overclocks on the current SKUs. My guess is because they are preparing a dual GPU board and don't want the OCed 580s to compete with it.
wow.. Powerful stuff, but triple slot cooler? I dont think thats pretty impressive asus has directcu but still need triple slot cooler? You must be kidding me
sorry but this is just ridiculous that you are discussing this in several posts.the card has 3 bracket holes to securely screw it to the case chasis.this card aint moving anywhere.forget about the gravity dude,it wont affect it by any significant amount.

I worked on a conference talk called Ban the Blog with a colleague about a year ago. It was a purposefully provocative title and an extreme view, but one I believe many businesses and website owners need to heed (yes, I get the irony of writing this on a blog platform, but hopefully you'll see past that minor contradiction).
Blogs can often become a content dumping ground and despite the rising influence of structured content strategies into the broad digital direction, let's start a blog' is still a statement that is regularly touted in planning sessions.
But creating a blog and chronologically presenting what you produce isn't necessarily the answer to your content needs.
Putting your content in date order may make sense in some instances (and with some CMS platforms it's your only option), but just because it's your latest, it isn't necessarily your greatest or the most relevant for your audience.

I hate the word granular. I spend half my life tweaking and fiddling with PPC campaigns across different platforms.
The word granular invariably means spending even more time setting up campaigns. The problem is, the only way to achieve, monitor and maintain success in PPC is by going granular. The same holds true for Google Product Listing Ads.
I first went granular with my bog standard AdWords search network text ads soon after starting out in PPC. I went granular with my Product Listing Ads at a much later stage however.
When I first setup Product Listing Ads (PLAs) I had to do so with the assistance of the official Google documentation and a few third party guides. It's all a bit fiddly.
Most of these guides seemed to encourage large ad groups for one reason or another. Against my better judgement I just went along with it, wasting thousands of pounds in the process.

Along with a number of genuine national holidays, the end of November and beginning of December are a time for consumers to enjoy a time of frantic spending as we commemorate fictional occasions created by retailers to help make a few extra sales.
These special shopping days always have awful buzzword names that initially mean very little to anyone outside of the marketing industry, but eventually come to be used in every day conversation due to the good work of PRs and the national media.
Off the back of Thanksgiving we've just enjoyed Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which heralded the usual surge in online spending and unseemly squabbling in stores.
And here are some interesting stats detailing just how much was spent during the annual sales bonanza...

Product page copywriting is vitally important, but seems to be overlooked by some ecommerce sites, which simply plonk the standard manufacturer's descriptions on their pages.
Paying attention to product page copy can help improve conversions rates, as better copy can be more informative and persuasive.
It can also help your site to stand out in the search results over competitors who have paid less attention to their product descriptions.
I've rounded up some examples of great product page copywriting here, but first some views from the experts on the essentials for effective copy...

Last month, with the help of Dr Pete Meyers from Moz, we looked at how PPC ads are changing and what they will look like next year.
Some of these predictions have already happened, such as the yellow 'ad' labels and less obvious background shading.
One of the themes of that article was Google's efforts to make ads blend in more on results pages, something Dr Meyers referred to as 'ads in sheep's clothing'.
This is now happening in Google's UK results, with the top PPC ads on some brand searches resembling results more than ads.

An argument for not reporting results in marketing: if you find yourself in times of crisis having to report frequently, try reporting on actions rather than numbers.
Report on the things you did rather than the traffic you achieved.
Here is my argument for not reporting results in marketing...

Pretty sounding search algorithm updates (Hummingbird, Panda, Penguin...) have plunged many digital publishers into peril as their content plummets out of search engine results pages in consequence.
The decline in visitors impacts the performance of ads, which hits revenue. Under pressure from the publisher and ad sales team, the media title's SEO and editorial teams try to reverse engineer Google's update and work out new tactics that will improve their search engine performance.
In the main, quality publishers producing compelling shareable editorial need not worry too much about Google algorithm updates. Google's focus has generally been to prioritise quality content.
However, a key objective of the Hummingbird update is to accommodate the fact that more searches are being conducted, and more content is being consumed, on smartphones.
As people are beginning to use their smartphone's voice recognition functions to actually talk to Google search apps, Google has started to respond to search terms given in natural speech, a key part of the Hummingbird update.
'Big whoop', right? No. Massive whoop, especially for the 68% of the UK's 175 top publishers do not have a digital site that displays effectively for mobile devices.

The techniques of content or the bigger genre of online marketing are not new, they're just digitized. If you start looking seriously for the origins of digital marketing, you'll ultimately land in 300BCE.
At its heart, digital marketing is persuasion. And if we're talking about the basics of how to persuade, we should start with Aristotle.
Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and father of rhetoric, set the gold standard for persuasion. All digital marketing is a shadowy form (Hahaha! Philosophy joke. Anybody?) of his original tenets.
You could say that the basic principles of digital marketing are just ancient Greek wisdom dressed up in plaid (that's what we digital marketers stereotypically wear in the States, at least).

Here is another video of the upcoming MKVII Golf R testing. The car has to be close to its official reveal and according a site Volkswagen had set up for the reveal it should have already taken place back in February but something changed apparently. The car is still testing as you can see in the video below. It also appears this particular Golf R has a sunroof which somewhat contradicts information presented earlier regarding a carbon fiber roof for the car. ...Published on 05-21-2013 04:17 PM
Here are pictures of what an APR Stage III turbo kit setup looks like on a MKVI Golf R. The kit is very impressive and comes with all the hardware necessary obviously. This install was done by APTuning who photographed the process. A dyno is included of what the setup is capable of. On 100 octane race gas the Stage III GTX kit shows 511 horsepower versus a stock 272. Unfortunately this dyno is at the crank and not the wheels. ...Published on 05-14-2013 05:51 PM
This is some incredible impressive work by APR and the numbers are almost hard to believe. Introducing APR's 2.0T FSI Performance Cylinder Head. What kind of gains does this head provide? Well, on the Stage 3 kits on just 93 octane the head provides over 70 horsepower. On 100+ octane this rises to over 120 horsepower. The CFM (cubic feet per minute) intake and exhaust air flow gains are simply huge especially on the intake portion. ...Published on 05-12-2013 09:11 AM
There are those times where car makers do things that are just so damn cool. Yes, this is one of those times and here is the Volkswagen Vision GTI. Essentially, this is a Golf on steroids from the exterior to what is under the hood. It's almost was over the top of the 650 horsepower mid-engined Golf W12 concept that VWBoost remembers so fondly (and still wishes was built). Volkswagen once again proves it has attitude and a deep bag of tricks when it comes to the Golf. ...Published on 05-10-2013 03:13 AM
These are some seriously eye opening numbers and congratulations is in order to VWBoost member patrick02 who continues to push his MKVI Jetta GLI equipped with a 2.0 TSI direct injected turbo four cylinder. He has set numerous records and just raised the bar even further. How does 554 wheel horsepower sound? And this is no dyno queen, the car turned a jaw dropping email@example.com in the 1/4 mile with a 1.704 60 foot. Not bad for a front wheel drive eh? ...Published on 05-07-2013 11:01 PM
Volkswagen told Edmunds that upcoming performance versions of the MKVII Golf will feature a carbon fiber roof. The most obvious performance version coming is the Golf R which is expected to be pretty much be a re-skinned Audi S3. That means less weight (about 150 pounds less) and more power from a 2.0 liter turbo direct injected motor at just under 300 horsepower. With all wheel drive and DSG it should be quite the hot hatchback. ...Published on 05-07-2013 01:10 AM
This topic at this point is just exhausting. The car is perpetually on again off again without any definitive decision being reached. The car was put on indefinite hold last year while VW evaluated whether it made any sense considering it would take 50,000 yearly unit sales for the model to be profitable. VW design chief Walter de Silva believes the vehicle would be good for the brand and recently stated he is for it being built, "This is a vehicle that we particularly like, and we always have in mind." ...Published on 05-05-2013 04:24 AM
Well here is a nice piece of news for those considering picking up a 2.0 TSI Volkswagen any time soon. The Jetta GLI, Beetle Turbo, and Bettle Turbo Convertible will all get the new 3rd generation EA888 2.0 turbo motor replacing the 2nd generation motor currently used from the middle of 2013 on. The Gen 3 TSI offers a bump of 10 horsepower over the Gen 2 TSI motor and this power comes 200 revs higher in the rev range. Torque stays the same 207 pound-feet. ...Published on 04-30-2013 10:50 PM
This is a pretty interesting press release from Volkswagen giving us a peak into their future drivetrain plans. A 10-speed dual clutch transmission? Yep, that is exactly what they intend to do, "Areas of work being focussed on by Volkswagen include the development of a high-performance diesel engine delivering 100kW per litre of displacement and a new 10-speed dual clutch gearbox that reduces fuel consumption." Fitting 10 speeds with a dual clutch design is going to take some serious engineering. ...Published on 04-13-2013 08:19 AM
This is pretty good news for VW Golf fans as the new Golf R will sport 300 horsepower which is a nice improvement over the MKVI Golf R in the USA which featured a 256 horsepower 2.0 liter turbocharged motor. It appears that basically the Golf R will mimic the Audi S3 which has 300 horsepower out of its 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder motor. So, nothing all that unique for the Golf R engine wise although it definitely is an improvement. ...Published on 04-13-2013 05:28 AM
Wow, one seriously fast MKVI Golf here setting a new 2.0 TSI 1/4 mile record. How about the fact it is daily driven as well? This GIAC tuned Golf was able to run a 11.43@130 at the Sydney International Dragway in Australia. The car has a GT3071R turbocharger, GIAC Stage 3+ Race tune, built motor with Mahle pistons at 9.5:1 compression, DM forged rods, Bosch high flow injectors offering 28% additional flow over stock, and of course race gas (MS109). ...Published on 04-04-2013 06:21 PM
Some really nice power figures here achieved on a Golf R with the Lobo Motorsport L0400 turbocharger and GIAC tuning. The baseline for the Golf R on the four wheel drive Mustang dyno is 229 wheel horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. With the bigger turbocharger 100 octane fuel this goes to 311 horsepower at the wheels for a gain of 82 horsepower at all four wheels. The torque figure rises to 303 pound-feet at the wheels. ...Published on 03-31-2013 02:31 PM
It seems the new Mercedes-Benz CLA has everyone scrambling for a competitor. Audi launched their answer which is the entry level A3 sedan and Volkswagen is now rumored to get into the mix with a Golf CC. There is no official confirmation of this and it is simply a rumor but renderings surfaced of what such a vehicle may look like. From a business standpoint it makes sense as the car would be lighter and sportier than the Passat CC as well as come with a cheaper price tag. ...Published on 03-20-2013 01:21 AM
Very, very nice results shown here by Unitronic who worked on this MKVI GTI that was able to put down a very impressive 470 wheel horsepower in STD correction on a dynojet. This was done with 28 psi of boost using a PTE 5530 turbocharger with pump gas and water/meth injection. Obviously a fuel system upgrade was necessary to make this possible the Unitronic TSI High Output fuel system plays an important part in supporting the output. ...Published on 03-11-2013 11:11 PM
The 2.0 TSI responds well to tunes, this is common knowledge. GIAC is intent on pushing a K04 turbo upgraded 2.0 TSI even further with their new "Extreme" K04 file that they are working on. This teaser video below shows a GTI equipped with the new aggressive K04 tune on the dyno. So what are the numbers? Unfortunately, we get no dyno numbers which is disappointing. What we are provided though is a reading of the boost gauge. ...Published on 03-06-2013 11:21 PM
Here it is, the MKVII Golf in all its glory making its official debut at the Geneva Auto Show. The car looks absolutely great as the MKVII Golf does but especially so in GTI trim. So what are the improvements? How about a lower curb weight at 2978 pounds. Impressive to be under 3000 pounds these days. The turbo 2.0 liter motor gets 220 horsepower standard and an optional 230 horsepower performance pack but this is likely only for Europe. ...Published on 03-04-2013 01:12 AM
Here it is, the new Golf MKVII wagon which was leaked out early on the internet before its official debut at the Geneva auto show this week. These days cars tend to simply leak out early before the automaker shows them at an auto show and once the picture shit the internet, well, it's game over. Only photos are available with no technical specs but the wagon definitely looks good. Will VW bring it to the USA? That's anyone's guess. ...Published on 02-26-2013 03:41 PM
261 miles per gallon, not a typo. Bet your Prius doesn't feel quite so efficient now does it? The XL1 originally began as a concept 10 years ago and has been updated since. The newest iteration features a plug-in hybrid system allowing 31 miles of travel on the battery alone. Aerodynamics play a huge role with the .189 coefficient of drag making the car quite the slippery design. Add in lightweight cabon fiber bodywork and you have one incredibly efficient car. ...Published on 02-22-2013 01:41 AM
Here it officially is, the new MKVII Volkswagen GTD. This is essentially a diesel GTI featuring a 2.0 liter turbocharged diesel powerplant with 184 horses and 280 pound-feet of torque. The car should have pretty good pep with a curb weight of only 3,036 pounds. Volkswagen says the 0-60 is 7.5 seconds although that is likely conservative. And with a tune to unlock some of that hidden power and torque this should be an interesting diesel performance platform. ...Published on 02-13-2013 02:21 AM
All these new direct injected cars tend to get pretty frustrating once passing a certain power level and wanting to upgrade the fuel system. Fortunately, LOBA Motorsport has 2.0 TFSI guys covered with their HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) upgrade. LOBA claims this pump will increase fuel volume by 50% and that it can sustain 130 BAR of pressure making it one of the highest flowing and most powerful HPFP's on the market. ...

Tue Feb 17, 2009 6:46 pmThe Palm Beach Post reports Marlins minor league reliever Jose Ceda has been shut down for three or four days with discomfort in his right shoulder.
Fantasy Source Spin: Ceda is a big hard-throwing right-hander acquired from the Cubs in the Kevin Gregg trade. Manager Fredi Gonzalez is terming the setback minor and plans only to "slow him down a little bit." Ceda has a chance for a late-season bullpen role as long as the shoulder soreness is fleeting.

Tue Feb 17, 2009 1:11 pmMike Hampton has been cleared to rejoin Astros camp after undergoing an echocardiogram Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: "His rhythm had returned to a regular rhythm," general manager Ed Wade said. "He's not going to be put on any medication. He'll be on a flight back here this afternoon and back in the workouts."

Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:17 amJeremy Guthrie will pitch for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.
Fantasy Source Spin: Guthrie campaigned for a spot on the roster while officials were being turned down by most of their primary pitching choices, but was told last week that he's made the team. "It's neat to have the opportunity," Guthrie said. "I've never put a jersey on that says USA. So that's a great honor. It's obviously very humbling."

Mon Feb 16, 2009 5:19 pmFree agent Jason Isringhausen said he has fully recovered from September surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon and is willing to compete for a role other than closer.
Fantasy Source Spin: Izzy would like to stay with the Cardinals, but the Brewers and Dodgers might be more interested. "I know last year was a terrible year at a terrible time for my career," he said. "But I don't need money. I need to get back pitching again and figure out if I can still get major league hitters out. To me, that means getting into camp and making somebody's team."
Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:38 amPeter Moylan threw batting practice Sunday, facing live hitters for the first time since undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery last May.
Fantasy Source Spin: Moylan received positive reviews from Matt Diaz, Chipper Jones and Brian McCann. "I don't know if he's supposed to look that good this early or not," manager Bobby Cox said. Moylan, who had a 2.20 ERA in 102 career appearances before going under the knife, is hoping to be ready for Opening Day.
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sun Feb 15, 2009 12:45 pmA's manager Bob Geren said Sunday that Jerome Williams is under consideration for the fifth spot in the starting rotation.
Fantasy Source Spin: Left-handers Gio Gonzalez and Josh Outman will challenge him. Williams posted a 3.25 ERA over five starts and eight relief appearances in the Dodgers' system last season. He might wind up in Triple-A to start the season, but he will definitely be one of the first players called up in a bind.

Sun Feb 15, 2009 12:34 pmAlfredo Simon is having trouble reporting to Orioles camp because of visa issues.
Fantasy Source Spin: The issue is expected to be resolved shortly, but you never know. These things can be tricky. The other members of the O's completed their physicals Sunday morning and will have a team workout in the afternoon. Simon just needs to catch up once he arrives in camp.
Source: MASN Online
Sun Feb 15, 2009 12:29 pmRyan Rowland-Smith announced Sunday that he will not pitch for Team Australia in the WBC.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rowland-Smith is prepping for his first full season as a starter and doesn't want to mess with his routine. ''Four years from now, definitely I will pitch for Australia,'' he said. ''But this was hard. It sucks, but this is what I need to do.''
Source: Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sun Feb 15, 2009 11:06 amAccording to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Chris Perez has worked on a more consistent throwing motion this offseason.
Fantasy Source Spin: "My mechanics feel good," Perez said. "Right now, it's not my mechanics, it's just the angle my arm takes as I throw the ball. They want to make it the same from one pitch to the other. That way I'm not giving up the pitch by having two different release points." Perez is the leading candidate for saves in St. Louis, but he'll have to prove himself capable this spring. Jason Motte would love to snatch up the role.
Sat Feb 14, 2009 3:04 pmBlue Jays re-signed RHP Dick Hayhurst to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hayhurst was removed from the 40-man roster this week to make room for Matt Bush. He'll be a long shot to win a bullpen spot.
Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:42 amFelix Hernandez, listed last year at 225 pounds, showed up to camp this year at 212 pounds.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hernandez apparently worked all winter on getting stronger and has developed a more muscular physique. The 22-year-old went 9-11 with a 3.45 ERA and 1.39 WHIP last season and is hoping to improve on those numbers in '09.
Source: Tacoma News Tribune
Sat Feb 14, 2009 9:26 amCarlos Silva told reporters Friday that he lost 30 pounds this offseason.
Fantasy Source Spin: Silva is now listed at 250. The right-hander said he focused on better eating habits, core strength and cardio workouts, and even took on a heavy dose of yoga. "It looked like somebody cut him in half," manager Don Wakamatsu said Friday. "I hugged him because I wanted to see if I could get my arms around him. I would have bet money I couldn't have last year." Silva is hoping to bounce back from a 4-15 2008 record.

Fri Feb 13, 2009 8:52 pmMatt Chico has thrown three bullpen sessions this week as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery last July.
Fantasy Source Spin: Chico could start pitching in the minors in June or July, but he'll probably be close to a non-factor at the major league level this season. A September callup might be the most likely scenario.
Source: Washington Post
Fri Feb 13, 2009 3:29 pmCarlos Zambrano is contemplating laser surgery on his right eye and has decided against pitching for Venezuela in the WBC.
Fantasy Source Spin: If Zambrano has surgery, he'd miss about two weeks of action, though he could still keep his arm in shape by throwing in the pen.
Source: Arlington Heights Daily Herald
Thu Feb 12, 2009 2:17 pmEven though there would appear to be no openings in the rotation, the Red Sox will use Justin Masterson as a starter at the beginning of the spring.
Fantasy Source Spin: It seems like the right strategy. If a starter goes down this spring, then Masterson and Clay Buchholz would be the top candidates to take over, with Michael Bowden probably third in line. However, while Buchholz and Bowden are in line to be a part of Triple-A Pawtucket's rotation should everyone stay healthy, Masterson would likely make the Red Sox as a reliever.
Source: WEEI
Wed Feb 11, 2009 3:54 pmThe Dodgers are considering bringing back free agent Joe Beimel.
Fantasy Source Spin: The team had no interest in re-signing Beimel to the three-year deal it looked like he might get at the beginning of the winter, but a one-year pact now appears to be realistic.
Source: FOXSports.com
Wed Feb 11, 2009 9:20 amRockies signed LHP Randy Flores to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Fantasy Source Spin: Non-tendered by the Cardinals in mid-December, Flores settled for a minor league deal that will pay $600,000 if he makes the team. Signing Flores should all but take the Rockies out of the running for Joe Beimel, although they're hardly comparable talents. Flores, who's coming back from September shoulder surgery, can request his release if he's not on the 25-man roster by the end of April.
Tue Feb 10, 2009 10:17 pmGiants signed RHP Ramon Ortiz to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Fantasy Source Spin: Ortiz, this month's Caribbean Series MVP, is back from Japan after going 4-7 with a 5.82 ERA for Oriz last season. The 35-year-old last pitched in the majors in 2007, finishing 5-4 with a 5.45 ERA for the Twins and Rockies. His only hope of making the Giants out of spring training is as a reliever, but he qualifies as pretty good depth.
Tue Feb 10, 2009 10:00 amTakashi Saito threw 33 pitches during a brief mound session Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Saito will earn $2.5 million just for cracking the Red Sox's roster and can make up to $7.5 million including various incentives. He's trying to come back from a partially torn elbow ligament without undergoing surgery.
Source: Boston Herald
Tue Feb 10, 2009 9:39 amFree agent Dennys Reyes said Monday that he's "been talking to the Dodgers and the A's."
Fantasy Source Spin: The Phillies may also be an option for Reyes, who's seemingly drawn little interest despite posting a 2.33 ERA in 46 1/3 innings with the Twins last season.
Source: Philadelphia Inquirer
Mon Feb 9, 2009 5:35 pmThe Diamondbacks are considering making an offer to bring back free agent Juan Cruz.
Fantasy Source Spin: The draft-pick compensation issue has taken a heavy toll on Cruz's value in the free agent market. There's little doubt that he would have gotten a two- or three-year offer by now if a team didn't have to give up a first-rounder to sign him. As is, there's been very little interest.
Source: Diamondbacks.mlb.com
Sun Feb 8, 2009 10:17 amThe Atlanta Journal Constitution's Dave O'Brien reports that the Braves are no longer pursuing free agent lefty Will Ohman.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's not clear what soured them on the 31-year-old. The Phillies and Mets have expressed some interest, but both teams are looking for a bargain. It seems Ohman and his representatives are holding out for a decent contract. He held left-handed batters to a .200/.254/.314 line last season and didn't do terribly against righties.
Source: Atlanta Journal Constitution
Sat Feb 7, 2009 9:54 pmRangers signed RHP Brendan Donnelly to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Fantasy Source Spin: Donnelly, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2007, returned last August and gave up 13 runs in 13 2/3 innings for Texas. He'll compete to make the Rangers as a middle reliever.
Sat Feb 7, 2009 10:42 amThe Blue Jays have avoided arbitration with reliever Shawn Camp, agreeing Saturday to a one-year, $750,000 contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Camp represented the last unsettled arbitration case for the Jays. The club hasn't required a hearing now for 12 straight years. The 33-year-old went 3-1 with a 4.12 ERA in 40 relief appearances last season. He requested a salary of $950,000, and the Jays originally countered with an offer of $700,000 back when figures were submitted.

Sat Feb 7, 2009 10:09 amIn an interview with Roch Kubatko of MASN, Rich Hill related his '08 control issues to a lower-back injury that he suffered in the middle of spring training.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I tried to compensate so I could compete," Hill said. The left-hander claims to feel much stronger since undertaking a weight-lifting program and changing his diet. "I eat a lot more...correctly," he said. If he can figure out his control, Hill has the skill set to be a solid starter in the American League.
Tue Feb 19, 2013 2:50 pm Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee indicated Tuesday that team will likely go with either Cole Hamels or Cliff Lee on opening day
Fantasy Source Spin: Halladay has made 10 straight opening day starts, but that streak could come to an end this year, as the club would prefer to split Hamels and Lee up in the rotation. "I think it's how we line up best," said Dubee. "Realistically, we could pitch anybody the first day as far as Doc, Cole and Cliff. On most staffs, they are No. 1 starters, so they all could pitch opening day. But part of what we're thinking is trying to split those two lefties. Last year we started with two lefties (after Halladay) and I'd just like to split them up."
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:30 am Wilson had no shame in signing a lucrative five-year deal with the Angels after coming up with Texas. His contract looked good early in the year, but Wilson's poor control returned and bit him in the second half with a 5.54 ERA in 16 starts. It was also a surprise that Wilson had more issues keeping the ball in the park after moving out of hitter-friendly Arlington, though homers were still not a major issue. The return of his BB/9 rate at 4.0 could be a real problem if it continues, however.
Fantasy Source Spin: His value has fallen slightly, and rightfully so since Wilson's poor control has returned. Last season may be the real deal if he doesn't correct those issues quickly.
Source: Fantasy Source
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:29 am Wilson made only two appearances before undergoing Tommy John surgery in mid-April, effectively ending his 2012 season. There were some warning signs during his 2011 campaign, including losses in velocity and control. The surgery will hopefully allow him to rebound fully, but the Giants found an alternative in Sergio Romo late last season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Wilson's reputation alone should allow him to get his role back at some point, though it remains to be seen how good his control will be after the injury.
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:29 am Williams opened 2012 as the Angels' fifth starter after re-emerging late in 2011, but his results were mixed. The former top prospect had a 4.83 ERA in 15 starts, though his plus command still showed and could get him another opportunity in the future.
Fantasy Source Spin: Good command still makes him a potential single-league fill-in if he gets starts again.
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:28 am Wilhelmsen's great story culminated with the closer role in Seattle, as he replaced the struggling Brandon League last season. Wilhelmsen signed with Seattle in 2009 after a four-year hiatus from baseball, and his mid-90s fastball has made him a dominant reliever for the club. His 9.9 K/9 rate and 3.00 K/BB ratio of 2012 is the stuff of pure closers, and Wilhelmsen pitched even better in save situations than normal with a 1.76 ERA.
Fantasy Source Spin: Some will think Wilhelmsen is unproven as a closer, but all the peripherals show he can be a fine second-tier option.
Wed Dec 11, 2013 4:51 pm Astros acquired RHP Anthony Bass and a player to be named later and cash considerations from the Padres for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bass, 26, owns a 4.08 ERA and 135/80 K/BB ratio over 187 1/3 innings in the majors. He has experience as both a starter and reliever, so he brings some flexibility to Houston's staff.
Tue Dec 10, 2013 6:19 pm Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said Tuesday that he expects Jaime Garcia (shoulder) to be part of the rotation as long as he's healthy.
Fantasy Source Spin: Mozeliak notes that he doesn't see Garcia as a fit for the team's bullpen. The southpaw is coming back from shoulder surgery but has been throwing for a while now and is expected to enter spring training without any limitations. If Garcia indeed is in the Opening Day rotation, that means Lance Lynn, Joe Kelly and Carlos Martinez will be battling for one spot.
Source: Stan McNeal on Twitter
Tue Dec 10, 2013 5:02 pm Angels acquired LHP Tyler Skaggs and LHP Hector Santiago in a three-team trade with the White Sox and Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Source Spin: Anaheim set its sights on Skaggs when the Mark Trumbo trade talks began and a three-team negotiation allowed for the acquisition. Skaggs saw a dip in velocity in 2013 and the results weren't pretty, but a year ago he was considered one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and a move out of Arizona could be exactly what the 22-year-old left-hander needed. He should be in the Angels' Opening Day rotation and has the potential to carry considerable fantasy value.
Tue Dec 10, 2013 4:58 pm Angels acquired LHP Hector Santiago and LHP Tyler Skaggs in a three-team trade with the White Sox and Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's a much-needed influx of talented young pitching for the Angels, who had one of the worst staffs in the major leagues in 2013. Santiago, who turns 26 years old later this month, posted a promising 3.56 ERA and 137/72 K/BB ratio across 149 innings this past season for Chicago. Those numbers have the potential to get better in Anaheim -- a much more pitcher-friendly environment.
Tue Dec 10, 2013 4:30 pm According to MLB.com's Thomas Harding, the Rockies could use Drew Pomeranz in a trade for Brett Anderson.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colorado has been suggested as a possible landing spot for the A's Anderson multiple times in the past week and it sounds like the two sides are indeed sorting through some trade ideas. Pomeranz has a 5.20 career ERA in the major leagues, but he's only 25 years old and was once considered a top pitching prospect. He was the fifth overall pick in the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft.

When I founded IPsoft in 1998, one of my main goals was to decrease the incredible amount of time IT professionals spent managing applications and tools. Over the previous decade, IT experts had become so entangled in mundane, repetitive chores, that they ended up losing the passion and creativity that drove them to the industry in the first place.
That was 14 years ago.
When I was working for a IT company, I had been part of a Support and Maintenance team serving a telecom giant in their CRM applications. The system of support tickets is manual and has to be assigned or accepted by individuals. It is time consuming and often missed SLAs when the log grew. Autonomics seems to take care of that. Also the concept of systems automatically fixing routine issues seems great. But the downside of a wrong bug fix can have huge implications on business. So it is premature according to me to allow machine to fix bugs. For the time being I will prefer auto ticket allocation and less crucial fixes to be automated. But the area looks promising!
