One of the most promising young and up-and-coming rappers on the scene, Lil Snupe, from Louisiana, was shot and killed the other day. Snupe had just turned 18, Global Grind reports.
The same media outlet notes that the shooting probably represented the escalation of a conflict over a dice game gone bad.
"The hip-hop community took another bad L earlier today, when news came out that Lil Snupe was shot and killed, reportedly over a $100 [€75.5] dice game," the e-zine writes.
"Before he was killed, Snupe had started making a name for himself, most famously as one of Meek Mill's artists," adds the same media outlet.
News of Snupe's passing has been confirmed on social media both by his representative and Meek Mill himself.
Reports elsewhere in the media note that police are looking for an unidentified "person of interest" but are yet to get a suspect into custody.

PAWTUCKET — In a concerted effort to improve efficiencies within and between city departments and to ultimately serve the public better, city department heads recently took part in a three-hour "Lean Office" training session based on proven management principles used globally for many years across a number of top businesses and industries.
The session, held in the Blackstone Valley Visitor Center auditorium, was conducted by Leslie Taito of the Office of Management and Budget, a new office created last year under the state Department of Administration by Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee to increase the efficiency of state government.
The training session was provided pursuant to a special request to the Office of Regulatory Reform, which is part of OMB, by Mayor Donald R. Grebien for assistance on ways to help improve the processes of city government.
"We will be implementing these methods throughout our city departments to help us operate in ways that will streamline our ability to better serve our customers, the public," Grebien said. "Leslie is an outstanding guide who keys right in on areas that need improvement and how everything needs to fit together. 'Lean Office' is not just about doing more with less, as we need to do every day in our financially challenged city, but about doing things better for the benefit of our employees and the public we serve."
Taito defined "lean" as "a systematic approach" to eliminating activities that do not contribute to a better end product, and as a process of "continuous improvement" that flows services toward "the pull of the customer."

As most of you already know, I am planning to start a 64kbps public listening test in September.
So here are the planned details. Nothing is definitive so far:
The test starts at September 3rd and ends at September 14th
The codecs that will be tested are:
- Ahead HE-AAC "Streaming :: Medium" VBR profile, high quality.
- Ogg Vorbis post-1.0 CVS -q 0
- MP3pro codec in Adobe Audition, VBR quality 35, high quality, m/s and is stereo, no CRC, no narrowing.
- WMAv9 Standard 64kbps (there's no PRO version at such bitrate, AFAIK)
- Real Audio Cook 64kbps (I didn't investigate other settings yet. Comments welcome)
The samples that will be tested have been announced on this thread. If you have concerns/comments about the sample suite choice, please post there.
The test results will be calculated the same way my former tests were. I don't plan to include bitrates in the formula. Comments are welcome now (they are of no use to me after the test has been started).
I haven't decided about anchors yet (my guru is traveling ), but someone suggested me that I use Lame ABR 128 as higher anchor, so that we can verify which one of these codecs really deliver the marketing of "sounds like MP3 at half the bitrate"
Then, the lower anchor would be a standard 3.5kHz lowpass, like it is done on most formal tests at low bitrates.
So, I'd like to know your thoughts on what I planned.
Thanks for your attention;

QUOTE (elmar3rd @ Aug 22 2003, 05:13 AM)
I wonder if mp3PRO VBR is reliable. FhG fastenc VBR seems to be bad tuned (thats what I read here). So maybe we should consider to take CBR instead.
Hrm, I really have no idea.
What about ATRAC 3 Plus (Net MD)? Should be interesting IMO.
Hrm... I don't know. Does it implement m/s or IS stereo? (Atrac3 doesn't)
And where is it used at? AFAIK, not even minidisc units play it.
Besides, I had a very bad experience with SonicStage, and I'm not sure I want to try to install it on my fresh system :/ (My HDD recently crashed and I bought a new one, just finished reinstalling everything)
Are the lowpassed samples supposed to be rated "1" while lame ABR 128 is "5"
The point of using anchors is to put results into perspective, by applying a process that doesn't variate depending on sample complexity. A lowpass is the same for a sonata and for castanets.
That perspective is valid both for the test participant and for the final results.
If I got the concept of "anchors" right - why not use something like 64kpbs mp3 as lower anchor (maybe not --alt-preset 64 but something "tuned" like CBR@full stereo + no resampling)?
Yes, that's another option. That's why I started this thread
I've suggested it before but didn't find any reply, so again (sorry ):
What keeps you from adjusting Vorbis' -q setting to get a 65.x bitrate?
I don't know. I was under the impression that people would only use -q 0 for their encoding needs at 64kbps, so a test at -q 0.2 wouldn't be of much use to them. (I think)
But, indeed, it might end up being the best sollution.
IMHO, 64 kbps mono really is a choice for streaming and some portable devices.
Stereo -> Mono downmixing is preprocessing, and no preprocessing should happen on these tests. (at most, fade in/out where the samples are cut)
So, if MP3 is tested, it must be on stereo. Or downmix for all encoders and do a mono test. Else, we're also comparing apples and oranges. (damn, I hate that metaphor)
Is it possible to have QuickTime AAC files also in this test?
Probably not. No matter how good it is, I doubt it can compete with AAC + SBR. I'm choosing the best codec for each format, and for MPEG4 audio at low bitrates, it's probably Ahead.
EDIT: And what about PNS for nero? With quick test i heard that it is useful option to use low bitrates.
True, but I don't think it would be good for HE AAC. PNS is only applied to the AAC part, so, according to Menno, there might appear a weird "hole" in the frequencies.
Still, I'll ask Ivan about his thoughts on using PNS.
With regard to the WMA codec (you are correct that there is no 64k Pro profile), are you intending to use 64k CBR, or 64k VBR (2 pass), Roberto? CBR would better suit streaming, but given the other codec profiles, the VBR (2 pass) mode would be a fairer comparison.
Yes, I will probably go with VBR. Forgot to mention that at the first post.
Thanks a lot for your comments.
Best regards;

MASSENA A Massena woman charged with shoplifting $1,341 worth of merchandise from the Massena Walmart was sentenced to serve 180 days in St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, after pleading guilty to a reduced count.
Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson also ordered Courtney E. Lashomb, 23, of 82 Cook St., to pay a $205 surcharge and a $50 fee to submit her DNA sample to the state database for the petit larceny conviction.
Village police charged Ms. Lashomb with fourth-degree grand larceny on Jan. 2 following an investigation into the Dec. 2 shoplifting incident.
Police had also charged Jamie L. Northrup, 36, of 351 East Orvis St., Massena, in connection with that incident. Her case is pending.
A store loss prevention associate told police that Ms. Northrup placed two Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy II cell phones, each valued at $399; a variety of groceries and laundry supplies, from laundry soap and bleach to steak, potatoes and ice cream; and clothing items including lingerie in a shopping cart and then walked past the last point of sale without paying for the items. She was assisted in the effort by Ms. Lashomb, according to court documents.

For Immediate Release
For more information, contact:Gloria O'Connell, 612-863-4801
MINNEAPOLIS 07/09/2013--Allina Health is pleased to announce that Joette Zola, an occupational therapist at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, has been invited to make a presentation about cognitive impairment from cancer at the first annual Best Practices in Developing a Cancer Rehabilitation and Survivorship Program in July in Boston, Mass.
Joette Zola will explain "chemo brain" therapy at a national conference.
"It is a privilege to work with cancer survivors that are coping with mild cognitive changes. Our program provides them with concepts and individualized strategies that help them understand their challenges and manage their inefficiencies, so they can more confidently engage in the life roles that are important to them," said Zola.
Oncology Rehabilitation Partners, a Boston-based organization that offers the STAR (Survivorship Training and Rehabilitation) Program® Certification is the conference sponsor. Zola is one of more than 80 STAR Certified Clinician™ rehabilitation therapists in the Allina Health cancer rehabilitation and lymphedema program.
"It is a great honor that Joette was selected out of all the therapists in all the STAR programs around the nation. She is a pioneer in the development of a system of treatment for the cognitive impact of cancer treatment, sometimes referred to as 'chemo brain'," said Nancy Hutchison, MD, medical director for Cancer Rehabilitation and Survivorship, Virginia Piper Cancer Institute and Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, part of Allina Health.
STAR-certified therapists help cancer patients overcome debilitating side-effects of cancer treatment including lymphedema, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, joint stiffness, weakness, cognitive problems, balance problems and difficulty with communication, swallowing or eating.
"STAR certification is the gold standard for cancer rehabilitation and survivorship care. There is no other program in Minnesota that is doing all that we are in terms of size, best practices, and number of STAR-certified professionals," Dr. Hutchison said.
A clinical service line of Allina Health, Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute was created in 2013 by the merger of Courage Center and Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute.
Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute provides a continuum of rehabilitation services for people with short- and long-term health conditions, injuries and disabilities in communities throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Posted: June 7, 2011, from the June 2011 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 2 of 2
With 1,900 employees, three facilities, and a presence in 54 countries, the brand is now well-known globally; and awareness for the brand has exploded in the past 10 years, according to Sirdey. This is partly due both to the green trend and quality sources for ingredients—Weleda, in fact, grows 260 plants for ingredient use in its own gardens. Further, the company has engaged in a sustainable development program, which includes: increasing the organic portion of its formulations (currently at 68%); work actively on fair trade with all suppliers; protect biodiversity; reduce the carbon footprint by 5% per year in its facilities; and reduce water consumption.
In 2010, cosmetics accounted for 72% of Weleda's sales of €310 million, up 11.6% over 2009 (Weleda also sells health care products). Its sales in the U.S. showed the largest gains (up 25% over 2009), and sales in France grew by 10% to reach €65 million (with cosmetics accounting for €38.3 million) Sirdey told GCI.
2-in-1 Congress in the South of France
Organizers APPAM (Association pour la Promotion des Plantes à Parfum, Aromatiques et Médicinales) and PASS (Parfums Arômes Senteurs Saveurs—Flavour and Fragrance competitive cluster) have agreed to hold a joint congress for the first time. The event will take place Sept. 6–8, 2011, in Digne-Les-Bains (South of France), home to APPAM. It will mark the 30th edition of The Journées Internationales des Huiles Essentielles et Extraits (International Days of Essential Oils & Extracts), and the third international congress "Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAP)."
Held in Morocco in 2009 and in Tunisia 2010, MAP focuses on the Mediterranean region. This year, an International Federation of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants is being established to support the development of this segment internationally. The program includes conferences on raw materials, technologies, regulations, etc., as well as workshops and B2B meetings. Organizer Patrick Pellerin told GCI he expects more than 200 participants.
Claire Thévenin is a freelance journalist based in Paris. She has covered the beauty industry since 2005, specializing in European Union regulations.

You should a t least give it a chance , its a unique game , pretty much the only one of its kind in the mmo world . If you're a dungeon runner freak like me you can run them as much as you want , if you like crafting [for me its confusing so i didn't craft once] people say its fun and easy to do , if you like pvp there are a lot of modes to play in , they also made a lot of easter eggs and secrets on the maps if you like exploring , it rewards you for it . There are huge open world bosses that people pile up to kill for the huge treasure box at the end . Its still not as advanced as GW1 but its still fun to play .
Still debating on that ultimate package for Archeage.
its too bad cause the elder scrolls and fallout are some of the best games out on PC. mods make those games.
Try out the game. I've tried literally every game out with the exception of archeage. I can say that I get bored of gw2 sometimes but it's because I've been playing for over a year and a half and have literally played/figured out every play style with every class.
The people here are right about a few things, it's not the messiah of mmos but it's hands down the best one available for you to choose right now. I would say pve wise ffxiv would rival it. If you enjoy pvp then there is no mmo that beats it. Which is why I continue to play. It doesn't matter if your 80 or not, there is ALWAYS something you are trying to achieve pvp or pve wise.
Believe me, I want to find a new game as well but there is simply nothing that beats gw2 at the moment. (actually I would say blade and soul maybe. Yes I'm including games released in Korea seeing as I live here and have access to all the games). You could argue that things are up to par with it for sure, but nothing beats it. Also if you want combat that's similar to wildstar, gw2 comes close.
You say it's the same game as it was during release? I don't know what you mean by this.
Isn't every game the same game? If your talking about content then wow what are you expecting from an mmo? Pve wise there are so many events that go on. They were updating the living story every two weeks! You also have seasonal events! New content is temporary, yes, but your constantly getting those new temporary contents so im not sure what you mean by it being the same game as it was during release. In fact wouldn't new, frequent content be more fresh? From my interpretation of your post, every game is the same game it was during release then.
Last edited by -JK-; 05-06-2014 at 12:01 AM.
The thing with GW2, is that once you reach a certain point, your characters stop advancing vertically, and instead, mostly advance horizontally.
But for $25, it's the most worth-it MMO you can ever buy.

Works to Trees and Hedgerows
Types of Works to Trees
There are different ways of maintaining trees to improve their health and safety or reduce shading without removing them. The Council will always seek to ensure the minimum works necessary are applied for, to prevent the unnecessary removal of trees.
If you are unsure of the most appropriate works for your tree(s), you are strongly advised to discuss this with a qualified tree surgeon or arboriculturalist.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning involves removing a number of secondary branches in such a way that it produces a balanced crown structure, without altering the overall size or shape of the tree. It results in improved light levels passing through the canopy, thus reducing shading. It also reduces the sail effect of the crown, thus reducing the wind loading upon the limbs of the tree.
Crown Lift
Crown lifting involves the removal of lower branches to lift the height of the crown. This may be carried out to increase the clearance between the ground and the lower branches to:
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is the process of removing branch tips, pruning back to a growth point further down the branch. When carried out over the whole tree the overall crown size is reduced, and is a good way of controlling size. The maximum recommended reduction is normally 25% to avoid stress to the tree. It also reduces the sail effect of the crown, thus reducing the wind loading upon the limbs of the tree, and a reduction is often used on trees with identified weaknesses.
Formative pruning
The purpose of formative pruning is to assist the young tree to develop into a stronger and well shaped tree. The structure of the tree can be greatly improved by selective branch removal. This ensures strong branch attachments and a good crown structure.
Pollarding is a traditional form of management and generally not used in conjunction with modern practices. It should not be carried out unless a tree has previously been pollarded. Large wounds created during this process can initiate fatal decay in mature and ancient trees.

Sunk 30 July 1944 19.40 hours, in the Baltic Sea in the Gulf of Finland, in position 60.28N, 28.25E, by depth charges from the Russian submarine chaser MO-103. 46 dead and 6 survivors.
|Loss position
On 30 July 1944 at 1242 hrs U-250 attacked the 56-ton Russian submarine chaser MO 105 with a G7e torpedo, at the north side of the Koivisto strait in the Gulf of Finland. The Russian boat was destroyed easily (19 dead, 7 survivors), but the explosion brought other Russian boats to the location.
At 1910hrs, Russian 'Oberleutnant` Aleksander Kolenko, chief of MO 103, got a sonar contact from U-250 and dropped five depth charges. U-250 was not heavily damaged, but because an air-bubble track was visible on the water MO 103 dropped a second series of five depth charges. One of these exploded over the diesel room. A large hole opened in U-250's hull and she sank. Kapitänleutnant Werner-Karl Schmidt along with five other crewmembers in the control room managed to escape at the last minute.
Needless to say the Russians were thrilled to have a German U-boat captain alive and a sunken U-boat in shallow waters. Russian divers soon discovered that the boat lay at only 27 meters under water and had only a slight list of 14 degrees to the right. A large hole above the diesel room was observed. Two large air tanks, 200 tons each, were transported to the area and the Russians worked behind a smokescreen to raise the boat.
The Germans and the Finnish did what they could to prevent the boat, which was equipped with the new secret T5 acoustic-torpedo, also called Zaunkönig (Wren), from falling into Soviet hands. Finnish coastal artillery and German torpedo boats made frequent attacks on the salvage site, but to no avail.
Finally, in September 1944 the Russian raised U-250 and towed it between air tanks to Kronstadt for examination. On 15 Sept, 1944 U-250 was brought into the dry dock at Kronstadt.

The former Commander, Kptlt. Schmidt, had to go first into the now dry boat, as the Russian believed some explosive charges might still be on the boat. The 6 survivors then spent some years in Russian captivity.

Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-250 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.

It'll stretch to Paul Brown Stadium by the time it's said and done.
Seriously though, if I were local I'd probably head over around 2am with a few movies on an iPad and a 200ml bottle of hooch (or 2) and wait it out. I spent 26 hours in a Wal-Mart for a PS3 in 2006. This couldn't be worse than that.

Grex® Introduces the Most Ergonomic and Versatile Airbrushes
MONTEREY PARK, CA — August 1, 2013 —Grex® introduces their newest airbrushes, the Genesis.XGi and Genesis.XSi. With these airbrushes, Grex® continues to infuse innovation into their airbrushes; focused on ergonomics and the ability to adapt to the users applications and preferences. The defining design element of these airbrushes is the ergonomic hand grip set that provides improved comfort and handling. These airbrushes have been specifically engineered for maximum adaptability by leveraging the already wide selection of accessories available from Grex.
"Many airbrushers have come to rely on the ergonomics of our popular pistol style trigger airbrushes. But we've recognized that some still prefer the control from a traditional dual action airbrush. So we set out to design and create a solution. Our inspiration came from the simple pen grip. The two piece grip system is made of a silicon-based polymer that's impervious to most solvents, its soft enough to relieve your finger and hand pressure points, yet firm enough to provide structure for increased holding area" said Raymond Wong, VP Sales and Marketing. "It's a simple elegant and effective solution."
These new airbrushes are designed to specifically share many of the same parts as their popular Tritium Pistol Style Trigger airbrushes. As result, the same versatility seen in their Tritium airbrushes are also carried over. The Genesis.XGi and Genesis.XSi can utilize the same cups and reservoirs; the same magnetic quick fit needle caps; and the same needles, nozzle and nozzle caps, so all the same nozzle conversion kits from 0.2mm up to 0.7mm can be used as well. Grex® has further expanded the versatility of their products by making these airbrushes adaptable to other manufacturer's bottles and cups with the use of their AD31 and AD32 adapters.
Other than feed type, features of the Genesis.XGi and Genesis.XSi are the same. Which one to choose is really a matter of preference. Each of these airbrushes will be available in three different nozzle size options (0.2mm, 0.3mm or 0.5mm).
Pricing and Availability:
The Genesis.XGi and XSi is anticipated to be available in mid September 2013 through authorized Grex® resellers. For more information, please visit http://www.grexusa.com/grexairbrush/newgenesis.php. The suggested retail price for the Genesis.XGi or XSi is $208.00.
Genesis.XGi Set Contents:
Genesis.XGi Airbrush, 2mL (1/20 fl. oz.) Top Cup w/ Lid, 7mL (1/4 fl. oz.) Top Cup w/ Lid, 15mL (1/2 fl. oz.) Top Cup w/ Lid, Quick-Fit™ Standard Needle Cap, Quick-Fit™ Crown Needle Cap, Plastic Carrying Case, Nozzle Wrench
Genesis.XSi Set Contents:
Genesis.XSi Airbrush, 7mL (1/4 fl. oz.) Side Cup w/ Lid, 15mL (1/2 fl. oz.) Side Cup w/ Lid, AD32 Side Siphon Adapter,

The Time I Ran Away — Throwback Thursday
Most kids decide at some point that they are going to run away, some get to the end of the block and some take it a bit further. My efforts, unbeknownst to my family at the time foreshadowed my career.
Most kids decide at some point that they are going to run away, some get to the end of the block and some take it a bit further. My efforts, unbeknownst to my family at the time foreshadowed my career.
Paula Abdul, who we've not heard from in quite a while, has launched a lawsuit against a Los Angeles tanning salon after she was burned while receiving one of its services. Yikes.
In an announcement made late last night, X Factor host Steve Jones and judge Nicole Scherzinger are out, and now there are rumors that Paula Abdul will be leaving the show shortly, too.
Quarterback controversies are common as colds in the football realm, and it looks like we have a judge's panel controversy brewing in 'X Factor'-ville. With last week's elimination of fan favorite Rachel Crow, thanks to Nicole Scherzinger's much-criticized decision to let the vote go to deadlock and allow America's voting tally to decide, it turns out that the Scherz may not be 100 percent to blame for Crow's ouster. She may have caved to the pressure applied by fellow judge Paula Abdul.
Former 'American Idol' judge Kara DioGuardi dropped a bomb on Wednesday's episode of 'Lopez Tonight,' in which she revealed she accidentally ate pot brownies from Paula Abdul's fridge.
DioGuardi, whose new Bravo reality-competition series, 'Platinum Hit,' premieres May 30, said she was feeling hungry at the time of the incident, and so Abdul's maid "found some brownies in the freezer and put them in the refrigerator" without knowing what was inside them.
Though negotiations reportedly went down to the wire, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul stepped out in full force Sunday for the first round of 'X Factor' auditions in Los Angeles...
It's the reunion we've all been hoping for.
In an exclusive interview with Deadline's Nikki Finke, former 'American Idol' judge Simon Cowell revealed he wants Paula Abdul to join the judges' table on his upcoming reality series 'The X Factor.'
"I've always wanted Paula. Always been very vocal about that. I missed her the second she left the show," he said. "Always loved working with her even though she can be a pain. And I've been consistent about this. I don't know what it is about her, but I've always clicked with her."
I didn't think we'd ever hear Simon Cowell amdmit to what he's going to admit to Monday night on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight program. Simon says, "I personally think it is a better show than last year...they've got their energy back. They're confident. They're competitive....I think it's a good show."

Annual Report 2011: Training & Resources
In 2011, we had over 2000 enrollments in BAVC's training program as over 700 adults took one or more classes at BAVC. A team of 25 instructors offered 289 courses to help mediamakers stay current with ever-changing, new technology.
94% of students rated BAVC classes between 4 ("good") to 5 ("blew me away").
47% of BAVC's adult students were digital media professionals who took classes through their companies and 40% were adventurous storytellers and job seekers who enrolled independently.
85% of returning BAVC students training in the State of California's ETP program reported an increase in salary.
We also helped unemployed students relaunch their careers with the help of California's EDD training funds and 80% of them found employment within 1-3 months of completing their certificate programs at BAVC.
In 2011 our most popular classes were Compression, Cinema 4D, Final Cut Pro: Introduction, Video Production, Photoshop: Introduction, After Effects: Introduction and Lighting and Video Production Bootcamp.
Another of our most popular classes debuted in 2011: DSLR Cinematography, in response to the overwhelming interest of this spectacular digital camera by professionals and prosumers, alike.
When Apple redesigned its long-time favorite editing software, leaving many professionals fuming, our newly-offered Premiere For Final Cut Pro Editors and Avid For Final Cut Editors classes were in high demand. We introduced Apple's Final Cut Pro X as a one day class and offer it along with the tried and true FCP 7.
2011 was also a year of laying the groundwork for important projects rolling out in 2012.
We collaborated with San Francisco City Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) for job training and career assistance on a successful proposal resulting in the introduction of new services in 2012. We also provided insight and expertise for OEWD's training proposal to the U.S. Dept of Labor (to be announced Summer 2012) for project-based and freelance workers, a significant portion of whom make up the digital media workforce.
In 2012 we also strategized to bring back free training to K-12 educators. While teachers continue to receive a 40% tuition discount off all BAVC classes, we know the importance of teaching media literacy in the classroom and learned early in 2012 that our hard work in 2011 paid off as Adobe Youth Voices awarded BAVC funding for over 100 California teachers to gain storytelling instruction along with software tools to engage youth to tell their own stories.
In 2011 the Training & Resources team welcomed Mwende Hahesy as our Enrollment Advisor. Mwende brings to the organization expertise in the digital media landscape, a background in new media journalism and a love of connecting community with the tools they need.

Zappos expects record-breaking Cyber Monday
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Locally-based online retailer Zappos is expecting a record-breaking Cyber Monday.
Action News stopped by Zappos headquarters on Monday, where customer service agents were staying busy with phone calls.
"It's definitely a big day," said Rob Siefker, director of customer loyalty for Zappos. "We'll see how it pans out for the rest of the holidays, but it's definitely one of our bigger days for sales. We have a clearance section for Cyber Monday on the website and in the contact center it's one of the busiest days of the year."
A company spokesperson said Zappos is 99 percent sure they'll break their all-time single-day net sales record on Cyber Monday.
Nationwide, Americans are expected to spend about $1.5 billion online on Monday. According to the National Retail Federation, 85 percent of online retailers will offer special promotions. That's expected to translate to a growth in retail sales over last holiday season.
Experts remind online shoppers to use caution when making purchases on websites. By using a credit card instead of a debit card, checking your statements and never giving out social security numbers or passwords, you can protect yourself against the threat of cyber crime.

COVERAGE> The Spocom Experience at Anaheim
When we were contacted by the organizers of the Spocom Tour to work with them as a promotional partner, we were definitely excited by the opportunities it would bring! Although the Southern California-based members of our MotorMavens Crew gained a little experience in throwing and promoting a big outdoor automotive event (Mass Appeal at Ken Block's Irwindale Gymkhana event), we had little to no experience in seeing what it's like to run a big indoor car show. We thought it would be extremely interesting to see the inner workings of a big car show series from people who had a track record of doing it, and so began the relationship between MotorMavens and Spocom.
The first thing we noticed about the Spocom Tour - it didn't feel like a normal car show from our standpoint! It felt like a big, fun party - a hype party that just happened to have a bunch of friends and cars crowded in between the vendor exhibits! Read more...
COVERAGE> 2011 Formula D Seattle, Day One
Earlier in the day, I received a phone call from Rob Primo telling me that practice was rained out. It was very disappointing because practice is my favorite time to shoot the cars on track. Seattle strikes again. However, she can be forgiving at times. A couple of hours later I received another call from Rob. The rain had stopped and the track was dry. Practice was on again! I think you already know that I quickly grabbed my camera gear and drove straight there before Seattle had a chance to change her mind. So, I guess you can thank beautiful Lady Seattle for what you're about to see. Read more...

In addition to the great American pros in attendance, it was an international affair as well. The Drift Union drift team from Canada came down again to show us how to have fun with style in their textbook tandem sessions.
Large crowds of spectators arrived, filling the stands and lining the fences en masse to catch a view of the great driving presented that day. NOS Energy Drink and (for the first time) Greg Young from Northwest Riders clothing, set up shop to talk to people and to hand out prizes. If you missed it, don't feel too bad - here's the next best thing to being there! Read more...
VIDEO> Drift Posse – Road To Formula Drift Atlanta
Today is Dan Cyr of Cyrious Productions' Birthday! If you don't know who Dan Cyr is, he's the brother of the Pat Cyr, the baddest privateer AE86 Formula Drift rookie who cleaned up at the Irwindale Pro Am event in the tail end of 2010. What a better way to honor Dan's efforts as a drift documentarian than posting his latest video from Formula Drift Round 2 – Atlanta. It's the best we can do Dan! We are all starving artists for now. Happy Birthday!
What does it feel to be the proverbial black sheep? Or better yet, the wolf in sheep's clothing? Before you contemplate and think that I'm going to throw all kinds of cliché's at you, consider where privateers like Pat Cyr sit right now in the world of Formula Drift. It's hardly cliché at all to see a 360hp, garage built, ratty AE86 in a field of expensive dream machines and famous drivers. To me, and to countless others, the story of the "underdog" never gets old. (more…)

"Drifting will continue to grow, but that's only if we continue to support drifters on the amateur level, and most importantly, the people who organize the grassroots drifting events. After all, it is those people who are building new drifters and teaching them how to drive." - Antonio Alvendia in Drifting: Sideways from Japan to AmericaDespite the obvious plug (forgive me), what Antonio said in 2006 is evident five years later. These grassroots events are where many of the nation's best drifters first made their marks. While Japan was fortunate to have small, frequent drift events, Americans were left to figure out ways to get their tracks open to such a sport. Now, after years of consistent growth and the expansion of our own small drift events, we've come to see plenty of tracks around the nation become accustomed to drifting. These events have been paramount in molding skilled drifters, some of whom have made it in the big leagues. However, for many years now, the San Francisco Bay Area hasn't been able to provide a consistent outlet for its "home grown" talent. Sure, the ThunderDrift events are great, but those are nearly two or three hours away from The Bay. Many drivers simply don't want to make a four-to-six-hour round trip. Now they won't have to.

VIDEO> Lone Star Drifting in Houston
Earlier this month, NonStopTuning and Fabricated Motorsports hosted the first round of our local Formula D Pro-Am series, complete with cash payout and points. It's been a good minute since I've posted a video on MotorMavens, but like many of you, I have been all too busy these past few months. However, if I told you I haven't made anything since then, I would be lying.
Allow me to cut straight to the point. I'll be the first to tell you I really dislike AE86s (*gasp* Antonio), however my good friend Robert Lee for some reason or another still drives one without it completely falling apart. He doesn't just drive it though… he drifts the piss out of it… just like a real man should. And that's exactly what he did at the Houston Pro Am at Gulf Greyhound Park.
Robert easily had one of the lowest powered cars (if not THE lowest powered car) out on the grid. On a good day, Rob's purple thunder lays down an INSANE 113whp. However this past Sunday, he managed to take home a much deserved win, beating everybody, including Chelsea DeNofa (last year's XDC champ in case you forgot) – check the vid and to see how he did it.

VIDEO> Arizona's Tribute To The Unknowns
Trial By Fire – Phoenix International Raceway, Arizona from Dax Rodriguez on Vimeo.
This is a video about unknowns. It stars a race track that is nestled deep in the desert of Tolleson, Arizona; it also stars a collection of individuals who are infamous outside the state of Arizona. However, the track that we know as PIR (Phoenix International Raceway) is on par with most of the premier drifting tracks in the country. It features a high speed entry, technical transitions, and risky moves in every turn.
The group of people that meet at this track are passionate about drifting and the spirit of the sport. The carefree and reckless nature of drifting brings them together, and their track days here are about more than just cars. Days filled with drifting on this Arizona race track hold a special sentiment in the community's hearts. (more…)
FORUM> Justin Shreeve's Slowest S13 Build Ever
As I was looking through the MotorMavens Forum today, I noticed that our notorious video shooter from the Northwest, Justin Shreeve, has finally put up a build thread that talks about his S13 240SX! Shreeve's story explains how it has taken him several years to build his car on a shoestring budget (and it's still not finished) and how he built it up from a bone stock Grandma owned 240SX to the flat black tire shredder that it is today.
Take a minute and click through to Shreeve's S13 story on the MotorMavens Forum, and leave the kid some comments! Better yet, post up photos of YOUR own car, and tell us YOUR story. After all, that's what MotorMavens is all about! (more…)

WEBMINING> Team Burst and Friends at Meihan
I'll be the first to admit that I have a huge man-crush on Team Burst. Their insane driving inspires me to get crazier on the track and the skills these guys possess is outrageous. I've watched this video at least once a day since it's release last week and I'm just now realizing I should share it with those of you who may not have seen it yet. This video from Stewy Bryant of inertiaMS is similar to, but instantly much better than most Meihan videos, due to the inclusion of MULTIPLE CAMERA ANGLES. I love watching raw footage of Meihan, but it's great to see content from multiple perspectives.

Therefore, this amazing video was made with the help of Ryan's brother's S13.
Here is Josh's description of his experience:
"On October 22nd, 2010, I traveled to Engilshtown Raceway to film a "missile day" with Tony Angelo and Ryan Tuerck.
Ryan and I arrived at the track while Tony was having a battle with his own car. After picking up an FC in Florida, Tony made the trek up to NJ, blowing up 2 turbos in the process.
Once at the track and two laps in, Tony destroyed a third turbo leaving him without a missile for the day. Thankfully, Ryan's brother Justin lent Tony his car for only 30 minutes, giving us enough time to shoot this video.
Ryan's car, on the other hand, had it's own problems throughout the day (missing key = hot-wiring the ignition, e-brake failure, front and rear main seals leaking *12 quarts of oil were used in the course of three hours at the track*)
Enjoy it, because we sure didn't."
Tony said, "This video cost me 8 grand!"
Thanks for the fun video, guys!

The Center for Rural Partnerships at PSU has been in existence for less than a year, but is already engaged in several outreach, research and educational projects in rural New Hampshire communities.
The Center for Rural Partnerships is dedicated to promoting the research and service that drive PSU's role as a regional comprehensive university. Dr. Thaddeus C. Guldbrandsen, formerly of the University of New Hampshire, is director of the Center for Rural Partnerships. As part of the Center's mission, Guldbrandsen works with community leaders, including elected officials, community groups, schools, developers and others to preserve and enhance New Hampshire's rural quality of life. The needs of the community generate the goals of the Center, helping drive the research and service agenda.
Rural New Hampshire includes large portions of the state, including Coos, Grafton, Carroll, Belknap, Sullivan and Cheshire counties. PSU is in the geographic center of the state and serves as the literal rural center of New Hampshire. By leveraging its location and resources, the University can be a strong advocate for rural communities, said Guldbrandsen.
The Center has partnered with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide rural development training sessions that focus on demographic and economic trends. Plans are also underway to sponsor a community development conference, in conjunction with UNH Cooperative Extension.
Among many other projects, the Center for Rural Partnerships and the Center for the Environment will work together on the Initiative for Sustainable Rural Economics, to establish PSU as a leader in the study of natural and human resources in rural communities. With the help of U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH), the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee recently approved a $500,000 grant for this project.

Use strain gauges to measure the strain in a loaded steel cantilever.
Verify Hooke's Law.
Verify the calculation for the strain in a loaded cantilever.
The electrical resistance (R) of a metal wire is
given by (where r
is the resistivity), so the resistance is proportional to the
length (L) and inversely proportional to the area (A). As the
wire stretches it becomes longer and thinner (because the volume
of the wire stays approximately the same). Hence the resistance
of the wire is increased by stretching. When a wire is compressed
it becomes shorter and fatter, this reduces the resistance. The
material structure changes slightly during stretching and compression,
this produce small resistivity changes.
Strain Gauges are thin wires that can be glued to a metal structure. When the structure flexes under a load the resistance of the strain gauges changes and this can be used to measure the strain in the structure. In this way, the strain in a structure (e.g. an oil rig or an aircraft wing) can be measured to verify the design calculations.
The change in resistance DR in a strain gauge of resistance R is very nearly proportional to the applied strain. Hence:
K is a constant known as the gauge factor and is
the relative strain . The gauges used
in this experiment have K = 2.10 ± 0.02.
Figure 1: Loaded Cantilever Beam.
The gauges are a distance D from the load (see figure 1), a load of mass m and weight mg is suspended from the cantilever beam (g is the acceleration due to gravity). The beam has thickness t and width w and is made from stainless steel with a Young's Modulus E. The calculated strain due to the suspended mass is:
Therefore the relative change in the resistance of the strain gauge is given by:
The resistance changes in the strain gauges are very small, therefore the gauges are connected in a Wheatstone Bridge Circuit (see figure 2). The gauge on top of the beam is in tension, the gauge underneath the beam is in compression, hence strain causes equal and opposite resistance changes in the gauges. By using two gauges the effects of temperature variations on the gauge resistances are cancelled out.
The left hand end of the bridge circuit is at zero volts (see figure 1), the circuit is powered by the bridge excitation voltage VEX applied to the right hand end of the bridge (see figure 1).
If the strain increases the resistance of Gauge One from R to R + DR then the resistance of Gauge Two is decreased from R to R - DR. Hence the voltage VG (see figure 2) is given by:
To balance the Wheatstone Bridge the Zero Adjust resistor is adjusted to produce a voltage of . Therefore the output voltage Vo of the Wheatstone bridge is given by:
Substituting then:

Ship Wrecks of The Upper Great Lakes of MI
We are in our home state of Michigan for this edition of Dive Travel. Many have asked us to dive and explore a few of the thousands of shipwrecks in the northern part of our Great Lakes. On this show we visit eight wrecks, two in Lake Michigan: the Eber Ward, a cargo ship that was hauling corn sunk in1909. The Ward piled into an ice pack on the first run of the season; and the Sandusky, sunk in 1856 during the civil war. The Sandusky is a 110' (33.5 meters) sailing vessel had two masts and a square stern and sits upright in 90' (27.4 meters) of water. We visit two in Lake Huron: the Cedarville, at 588' (179.2 meter) in length the third largest shipwreck in the Great Lakes, sunk in 1965. The Cedarville sank due to a collision with a Norwegian vessel and now sit in about 110' (33.5 meters) of water with the hull within 35' (10.7 meters) of the surface; and the William Barnnam one of the most popular shipwrecks sank in a storm in 1894 and now lies in about 70' (21,3 meters) of water.
In Lake Superior, just off Munising, we visit four: the Steven M. Selvick, a 71'(21.6 meter) city class tugboat intentionally sunk off Trout Point in May of 1996 for the Alger Underwater Preserve. She is totally intact in 60' (18.3 meters) of water and rises to within 30' (9.1 meters) of the surface; the HermanH. Hettler, a 200' (61 meters) three-masted steam barge driven ashore at Trout Point, November 23, 1926, later dynamited. The Hettler lies in 10' to 40' (3 to 12.1 meters) of water, broken and scattered; the Smith Moore, a 226' (69 meters) wooden hulled steamer that sunk by collision with steamer James Pickands in the East Channel, July 13, 1889. The remains of the Smith Moore are in 90' to 110' (27.4 to 33.5 meters) of water and are largely intact although her upper works were blown off in sinking; and the Bermuda, a 145' (44.2 meters) schooner that sunk in Murray Bay, October, 1870. The wreck is intact in 12' to 30' (3.7 to 9.1 meters) of water in remarkable condition for a shallow wreck.
The Lower Peninsula is connected to the upper peninsula of Michigan by way of the mighty Mackinac Bridge, built in 1957 as the world's longest suspension bridge at five miles long. Today it still holds the title as the third longest in the world. Topside we tour Mackinaw City, St Ignace, and Mackinac Island, an island locked "Somewhere in Time" where the movie was filmed.
We take an exciting, open air bi-plane flight over the Mackinac Bridge and SaultSte. Marie and the world famous Soo Locks. We will also tour some of the areas historic light houses, Tahquamenon Falls, then visit the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point on Lake Superior. We culminate our visit in Munising where we dive at the Alger Underwater Diving Preserve and take a breathtaking sunset cruise along the famous Pictured Rocks National Shoreline. So, sit back and enjoy the adventure!

Ask and ye shall receive.
California streetwear brand Neff has a new collection out this week featuring works by Jean-Michel Basquiat and, improbably, the collaboration with the late artist's estate began after the founder and CEO, Shaun Neff, sent an email to an address he found on Google.
Explains Neff:
"I literally googled the 'Basquiat estate' because I am such a fan and sent an email to the contact on the website. One week later I got a phone call and we were launching a collab."The collection includes t-shirts, long sleeves and hoodies featuring some of Basquiat's paintings like Jersey Joe Walcott or Sugar Ray Robinson. And, although this capsule arrives on the heels of the collaboration Uniqlo did last year, there's a sense of simpatico between Basquiat's art work and streetwear, particularly as seen in the brand's lookbook, below. Every item in the collection retails for less than $40 and you can find it HERE.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Community
PCOS is a hormonal imbalance involving irregular periods, infertility, and ... more

Don't panic; anxiety will only make it harder. Studies have shown that things such as a mild shock or stress at/around normal ovulation time can cause it cause it to be delayed. Women have reported having late periods after a mild earthquake woke them from sleep around the middle of their cycle. Try to remain releaxed and learn how to improve your odds.View Thread
BCPs do not cause PCOS. PCOS is an over-production of estrogen by the ovaries, and estrogen is fat-soluble. Because estrogen is fat soluble, the body stores the estrogen in the fat tissue, and when you normally have a dip in estrogen level (which signals the brain to make FSH - follicle stimulating hormone - to ripen an egg), the fat releases some of the excess estrogen into the bloodstream.
If your body releases estrogen into the bloodstream from fat storage, there is rarely/never a significant dip in estrogen level, and the brain will not make FSH to ripen an egg. Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) blocks the estrogen receptors in the brain, so taking Clomid on days 5-9 of the menstrual period creates a PERCEIVED dip in estrogen levels and then FSH causes an egg (or sometimes EGGS) to ripen, which is why people who conceive using Clomid have an increased chance of fraternal twins.
The reason birth control pills are used in PCOS is to keep the uterus from developing endometrial hypeplasia, which can then become uterine cancer.
Metformin increases insulin sensitivity, and this in turn reduces the amount of insulin the body needs to do the same job. Insulin not only transports sugar into the cells, but is responsible for increasing/maintaining fat storage. This is why many insulin-resistant people gain weight; not because they necessarily eat more, but because their body is bent on storing the energy rather than utilizing it.
If you developed PCOS after having taken BCPs for many years, it may be due to insulin resistance that has built over the years, and for most people won't appear as diabetes 2 until they are over 50. Insulin resistance is sometimes genetic (in my family 60% of the women are), and sometimes environmental. There is speculation that refined/processed foods and increased sugar consmption (especially high fructose corn syrup which is hidden in many foods) are part of the problem.View Thread

First bear sighting near Fort Huachuca
Web Producer: Rikki Mitchell
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) - Black bears have left their winter dens, and the Arizona Game and Fish Department wants the public to be on alert.
The department tells KGUN9 that the first sighting of a black bear happened Friday near Fort Huachuca.
There may be more cases of bear sightings in residential areas this year because of two consecutive dry winters and intermittent seasonal rains.
Officials say bears are attracted to homes when they are in search of food and most conflicts arise when people unintentionally feed the bears by allowing them access to garages, bird feeders and garden areas.
Garbage stored outside attracts the bears, and the department says storing garbage inside a secure garage or shed will virtually eliminate the chances of a bear visit.
Officials also say that bears are good climbers, so fences should be at least six feet tall and constructed of non-climbable material.
If you see a bear, the Game and Fish Department recommends the following actions:
- Making yourself as large and imposing as possible.
- Stand upright and wave your arms, jacket or other items and make loud noises.
- Do not run and never play dead.
- Give the bear a chance to leave the area.
- If the bear does not leave, stay calm, continue facing it and slowly back away.
If you come across a bear in your yard or neighborhood and it refuses to leave, contact the Game and Fish office at 520-628-5376 or 1-800-352-0700.
