In Japan, everything changes in the spring. On April 1, Tecmo Koei, from the sounds of it, is making some big changes. At least on paper.
According to a new press release, Tecmo Koei is reorganising its corporate structure. Meh, right? That sounds rather boring and insidery, but the relevant info is how it impacts Team Ninja. Or, rather, the moniker.
Team Ninja is (was?) a Tecmo Koei game development division best known for Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive.
The release states that Team Ninja will be reorganised into two new development teams: Ichigaya Development Group 1 and Ichigaya Development Group 2. Neither of them seemed to have "Team Ninja" in them. The "Ichigaya" naming is because Tecmo's offices are located near Ichigaya Station in Tokyo.
What's more, Team Ninja leader Yosuke Hayashi now has a new, official title: Starting April 1, he is the "Head of Ichigaya Development Group 1" and the words "Team Ninja" will no longer appear in his "official" job description, it seems.
It doesn't stop with Hayashi. Keisuke Kikuchi, who used to be "Team Ninja Senior Manager", is now "Head of Ichigaya Development Group 2."
"Ichigaya Development Group" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, does it?
I'd imagine that Tecmo Koei isn't killing off the "Team Ninja" brand, and this is probably more organisational streamlining than anything. Team Ninja was slated to work on upcoming title Yaiba, and I'd be surprised not to see the Team Ninja logo slapped on that game. But, it could be the end of an era, especially if you hold on to things like names, logos and business cards.
Kotaku is following up with Tecmo Koei for further clarification and will update this post should the company comment.
組織変更及び人事異動に関するお知らせ [Tecmo Koei — Thanks Sang!]

Residual Data is data that is unintentionally left behind on computer media. In forensic usage, remnant data is typically left behind after attempts have been made to delete the data, after the data has been forgotten, or after the media on which the data resides has been decomissioned.
Residual data appears at all levels of modern computer systems:
- Computer systems that are discarded.
- Partitions in hard drives that are deleted.
- Files on hard drives that are deleted but not overwritten.
- Snippets of text in Microsoft Word files.
- Heap variables that are freed with free()
- Automatic variables left on the stack of languages like C or garbage collected in languages like Java.

YAKIMA, Wash. — Under a new state law that effectively privatizes driver testing, first-time drivers now must apply online and pay a private driving school anywhere from about $45 to $60 to administer both a written and driving test.
On top of that, the state Department of Licensing will charge another $80 — a $35 application fee and another $45 for the actual license — roughly $140 when it's all said and done.
It's all part of an effort authorized by the 2011 Legislature to cut down wait times at Licensing Department offices. DOL began shifting administration of driving tests to the private sector in December, and completed the transition on Jan. 1. That's when private driving schools in Yakima began administering the tests.
Driving instructor John Larson of A-1 Driving School of Yakima said he's already giving more than 80 driving tests a week. "I was a little bit surprised (by the volume of tests)," he said. "I didn't know what was going to happen. It turned out to be a little bit more than I thought." The move comes three years after the DOL downsized and closed 11 offices statewide, including one in Yakima, where operations were consolidated with the existing DOL office in Union Gap.
Subsequently, the Union Gap office, like many others across the state, saw larger crowds of people seeking services. Wait times soared to an average of 90 minutes per person, DOL officials said.
But now that time has dropped to only about 10 minutes since the driving test administration has been shifted to the private sector, said DOL spokeswoman Christine Anthony in Olympia.
"It's going well," Anthony said. "The whole emphasis behind the (move) was to reduce wait time at our offices."
People getting a license for the first time can fill out their application online at home before going to a local driving school to take the written and road tests. An online program on the DOL's website navigates applicants through the process, and the same documentation, including proof of residency and identification, is required.
Driving schools usually have computers for those who lack access.
Written tests are once again done on paper rather than a computer.
Some schools that had more rigorous written tests than the state's have retained them, said Anthony. But all written tests must meet minimum state criteria.
The state is now discussing whether to move to an online test. A score of 80 percent or higher is still required on both the written and driving tests.
Once the testing is finished, the school inputs the score into the DOL's website, and applicants then go to a local DOL office to pick up their actual driver's license.
Four schools in eight locations from Sunnyside in the Lower Valley to Naches administer driving tests.
Although schools charge fees for administering the test, they aren't making much profit from it, said driving instructor John Tull of FACT Driver's Education in Yakima.
"You're basically breaking even for the time you spend," he said, explaining that driving schools make their money on instruction.
Setting up their private schools for test administration hasn't been easy. Tull said the state requires schools to submit specific maps of the driving courses they use. The courses must include a certain number of traffic elements, such as intersections and traffic signs, he said.
"And they're very specific about what has to be in drive routes," he said.
Driving courses must include backing up, parking, starting on a hill, parallel parking, turns, traffic control devices and intersections, he added.
Instructors administering tests have to be state certified by undergoing 100 hours of training.
While the shift is more work for driving schools, it has its benefits, Tull said. For example, he can now test youths seeking a learners permit who take driver's education at his school.
"So it was just a real good fit for convenience for the kids, the students themselves," he said. "We're going to everything we can to make it easy on the customer."

Arnold Palmer and 1966 US Open at Olympic June 12 2012
The Legendary Arnold Palmer Getty Images Arnold Palmer spoke about his loss in the 1966 U.S. Open at Olympic to Billy Casper, this after he enjoyed a seven shot lead. and looked certain to win. Arnold was speaking at the annual dinner by sponsor Rolex at the St. Francis Yacht Club near the Golden Gate Bridge, and told everyone of the moment when Billy, sometime early in the round, had crossed the fairway to talk to him; "Arnold, if I don't start playing a little better, Nicklaus is going to beat me for second." Arnold replied with; " Don't worry,'I'll help you.'" The history books tell us just how much help Arnold gave to Billy Casper, Billy went on to win the tournament. Arnold then went on to encourage the younger players to interact with those around them who make the game possible. " Spend time with volunteers and find out what they do, and to make friends with them." Of that agonizing loss Arnold simply said; "It was not the end of my life, it may have been the beginning. I probably made more friends losing the Open than I would have winning. Don't feel sorry for me, It wasn't that bad."

NZXT Hades Review
It was not too long ago that options for computer builders were limited to beige towers that all looked very similar regardless of which company it was manufactured by. But the days of the beige case are over and today's 'do it yourself' computer builder can find a case in any style or flavor of their liking. There are plain cases, extreme cases, aluminum cases, steel cases, windowed cases and the list just goes on and on. On top of this, cases today have more features than ever before. If a new case does not have a CPU back plate access area, water cooling options and fit a ton of hard drives and fans, it is considered low-end and would not stand a chance to sell well when sitting next to its competitors. The progress forward in case design is due to many companies and their great design teams, and one of the companies that has been there along the way is of course NZXT. NZXT designs cases geared toward gamers and enthusiasts and has always tried to add style and features that would be appealing to their target audience. Over the years, NZXT has released some popular cases, such as the Lexa and Tempest cases and continue to release or update their cases as needed to keep up with a consistently changing market. The latest from NZXT comes to us in the form of a mid-sized steel tower with the name Hades.
The Hades is a sub $100 case that offers users affordability without losing any of the features that we have come to demand. For airflow, the case has dual 200mm intake fans, a top 140mm fan and a rear 120mm fan. There is also an included dual fan 8W per channel controller that will allow users to change the fan speed of the two 200mm case fans on the fly. At full speed these fans will bring in an impressive 140 CFM creating exceptional airflow throughout the case. For expandability, the Hades has nine 5.25" drive bays, can house four 3.5" hard drives inside the chassis and has an adapter that will allow for the installation of two internal 2.5" SSDs. The Hades also includes water cooling holes, CPU back plate access, a three-temperature display, mesh drive bay covers and has LED fans that glow red, giving the Hades a look that lives up to its name.
Closer Look:
The case comes packaged in a surprisingly small box, that was much more narrow than I am used to. On the front of the packaging there is a futuristic city covered in fog with a cut-off of the lower portion of the front LED glowing red below it. I am not artistic so I never understand the deeper meaning of the box art, but it still looks cool! The front of the box also has a full image of the Hades as well as some of the selling points of the case. On the backside, NZXT has listed the features of the case and also included a few very nice images of the Hades. Turning the box to the sides, you see that both sides are the same and this is where you will find useful information such as support and specifications for the case.
With the box open, you can see that the Hades case comes face-up and is wrapped in a thin layer of plastic with Styrofoam inserts on each side to hold it securely in place. The accessories that are included with the case consist of installation screws, motherboard stand-offs, 3.5" HDD brackets, cable ties, a buzzer and stickers to secure the temperature cables in place. There is also an included installation guide that gives a good explanation of the installation procedures and comes in English, Spanish, German and French.
Now that we have given a good look over of the packaging and accessories, we can move on and get our first look at the case.

The spring and summer 2014 Tommy Hilfiger menswear collection won't be showing on the New York Fashion Week runway in September, reports fashion industry trade paper Women's Wear Daily.
According to WWD, the label has decided to forgo the traditional runway format, focusing instead on "seasonal marketing programs" to reach the menswear consumer -- things akin to the Prep World and Surf Shack concepts that have popped up on a temporary basis around the country in recent years.
The Tommy Hilfiger women's collection, which accounts for 40% of the Phillips-Van Heusen-owned brand's global retail sales, will remain on the New York Fashion Week docket, WWD says.
Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week, which will showcase designers' spring 2014 collections, runs Sept. 5 to 12 at the Lincoln Center.

A brutal murder with a golf club and an ingenious plot bursting with snobbery, suspicion , adultery and secrets -- to say nothing of the dreadful crime of catricide... The lives of the inhabitants of Swevenings are disrupted only by a fierce competition to catch the Old Un, a monster trout known to dwell in a beautiful stream which winds past their homes. Then one of their small community is found brutally murdered; beside him is the freshly killed trout. Both died by violence -- but Chief Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn's murder investigation seems to be much more interested in the fish.
Whoops - sorry, so far I've not added any other entries about this book to the website (yet).

Chile: Doped-Up Daredevil Dies in Deadly High Wire Act
This gives a whole new meaning to high times.
A Chilean man's shocking, drug-fueled acrobatic stunt literally went up in flames when he was electrocuted while scaling an electric tower in the country's capital.
The man, identified only as Miguel, climbed the electrical tower in Santiago, spent about 30 minutes swinging around as traffic passed below and firefighters tried to coax him down before he swung onto a high-voltage cable. As his leg touched one of the cables, a massive explosion occurred, killing the amateur acrobat instantly and shutting off power to about 500 homes in the city's Lo Prado neighborhood.
Area residents called the police after seeing the man 'playing around' on the tower near his home, local reports said.
At about 4 in the afternoon, a crowd began to gather as the doped-up daredevil began swinging back and forth on the tower's beams, only inches away from the live wires.
Firefighters put an inflatable crash pad underneath the tower and tried in vain to convince the man to come back to the ground.
As he hit the wire, the ensuing explosion not only left the acrobat dead but set fire to two homes nearby.
According to a neighbor, Miguel's high wire stunt wasn't an isolated incident. Locals said that he had climbed the tower many times before while high on drugs.

M GO BLUE banner stolen in 1998
Just watched a program on the BTN that was highlighting the game day experience at M and they mentioned the banner. Anyway, did anyone know that the only time the team hasn't ran out under the banner since 62' was the 98' Syracuse game? They couldn't find the banner and no one knew what happened to it until the next year and the return trip to Syracuse when they saw the banner hanging on one of their campus buildings. I have never heard that story. A quick search came up with this but I wonder if they got the original back.

Every Last Drop! 10 Recipes That Make the Most Out of Maple Syrup
Last week Cambria shared how maple syrup is made in Vermont, and it's got me thinking of different ways I can (and should) use this wonderfully sweet ingredient. You see, while we usually associate maple syrup with cool fall days it also would be nice for those dreary, rainy days in spring to add sweet warmth to cozy meals.

Don't call her Mrs Affleck
Jennifer Garner covers the new ALLURE. You'll have to help me out with this one, please. Because there's a quote here that I have some questions about.
On why she and Ben don't do a lot of carpets together, Garner said:
"Sometimes it's a pain because my heels are so high and it would be nice to have his arm. And he's such a great date! But it can be too much. I think especially for women, they can really lose their identity and just become 'wife of.'"
Except during award season, right? Because come on. Sometimes it's a pain, but it didn't seem to be a pain when they were playing for Oscar.
Still, Garner seems to be bumping up against being called the "wife of" Ben Affleck. And, apart from the, ahem, inconsistency of that sentiment the way she lives it, I agree; I feel like most of you out there would agree.
Would it be as unappealing for Garner to be called "mother of Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel"?
What about the women who go around identifying themselves as "mother of xxx"?
Is that OK because those are kids, as opposed to "wife" because that's an attachment to a MAN?
For serious. What's the answer?

On Tuesday, Sept. 11, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich reiterated earlier statements that, "Russia will not limit grain exports, even if its exportable surplus is exhausted."
The announcement, while commendable in light of Russia's recent accession to the World Trade Organization, may not be practical.
The very next day, USDA lowered its expectations for Russian wheat production in 2012/13 to 39.0 MMT; 30.6 percent lower than 2011/12, the lowest production level in nine years, and 2.5 MMT lower than the drought ravaged crop in 2010/11.
The cut to the USDA's estimate for Russian wheat production brought it more in line with an earlier prediction of 38.0 MMT made by the analyst group SovEcon.
Russia's wheat exports are primarily sourced from its Southern district, while its own domestic consumption is mainly sourced from the country's interior (Central, Volga, Urals and Siberia districts).
When supplies in the interior are unable to meet domestic demand, wheat can be moved north from the Southern district.
This year, SovEcon is estimating that the Russian interior will produce 22.8 MMT of wheat, well short of the 35.5 MMT of domestic consumption estimated by USDA.
Covered by stocks on hand
Some of this 12.7 MMT shortfall will be covered by stocks on hand. At the beginning of 2012/13, Russia had 10.4 MMT of wheat in stocks, 5.0 MMT of which were held in government-controlled intervention stocks.
The USDA is currently predicting that 4.0 MMT of these stocks will be used to make up for the shortfall in production. It is possible this number could go higher, but there are sure to be consequences, such as higher prices, for drawing down ending stocks too low.
Imports are another option to make up for part of the shortfall.
USDA currently estimates Russia will import 0.5 MMT of wheat this marketing year, while the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies (IKAR) estimates that imports could reach as high as 2.5 MMT.
However, production in Ukraine and Kazakhstan, the two closest sources of imported wheat for Russia, has been hit by the same drought that damaged Russia's own crop. Wheat production in Ukraine is expected to fall 29.9 percent lower than last year. Production in Kazakhstan is expected to fall 53.8 percent, but Kazakhstan will export some wheat this year.
Whatever portion of the expected shortfall that cannot be met by stocks and imports will have to be brought north from the export-oriented Southern district.
SovEcon currently estimates the Southern district will produce 15.2 MMT of wheat.
If USDA estimates for stocks usage and imports turn out to be correct, then 8.2 MMT of this production will have to be moved north to avoid a shortage in the domestic market.
SovEcon is estimating that Russian grain traders have already exported 4.6 MMT of wheat in the first three months of the 2012/13, 60.0 percent of the USDA estimate of 8.0 MMT for the entire marketing year.
If the domestic market wants to avoid shortages, and the Russian government holds to its promise of not implementing grain export restrictions, then the only option is for Russian wheat prices to rise until they reach parity with competing supplies on the world market.

She has to hide him from her mother. He transforms into a bird when her mom comes to the tree house. The girl finally lets her family meet him one night at dinner.
One day she returns to the tree house and finds him gone. Her family searches all over for him. At the end of the story she saves him from the dragon.
I would not change a thing about this story because I liked everything about it. My favorite part is when he almost got run over by the train and is saved by his friend because it is very exciting. My favorite character is the wizard because he is fast and energetic. I don't like the girl's mom because she does not have a large role in the story.
This story relates to my life because I almost died once too. I think you should read this story because the author uses lots of details to make the reader feel like he is a part of the story.

Review: Dalmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch
Posted by Arctic Wolf on February 16, 2012
Since 1839, the Dalmore Distillery has been producing single malt whisky. The still-house contains 8 unique stills, 4 'flat top' wash stills, and 4 'cold water jacket' spirit stills each uniquely shaped and sized. The whisky is said to gain its distinctive character because of these unique stills and the order in which the distillate is ran through them. The whisky is aged in two types of oak barrels, first fill bourbon barrels from Kentucky, and aged sherry casks from the Spanish Sherry House Gonzalez. Because the distillery is located (near sea level) at the north shores of the Firth of Cromarty, the sea-facing dunnage warehouses are constantly influenced by the briny sea-air which also adds a unique distinctiveness to the Dalmore Malt.
I have been informed that the Dalmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch has recently underwent a change in its construction. Formerly the whisky was predominately made from stocks aged in Kentucky Bourbon barrels; however, the whisky is now produced with much more stocks aged in sherry casks. The whisky will now carry more of the sherry influence in its flavour profile with perhaps a richer rounder taste than before.
Here is an excerpt from my review:
"… Dark treacle (caramelized sugars) and dried fruit (raisins and prunes) drift out of the glass with a light but firm imprint of oak. As I let the glass decant, the dry fruit gains more expression, and I also began to sense some orange peel and almond in those breezes above the glass. There is perhaps a bit of candied sweetness building as well which is very enticing…. "

Greg Martin, 44, Minneapolis
Job: Owner of Urban Bean Coffee in Minneapolis.
Describe your style: Blue-collar casual or preppy rugged.
Wearing: Gitman Bros. shirt from BlackBlue; Baldwin denim jeans; vintage wingtip shoes from a store in New York.
Why buy American? "It's nice to know that people aren't being exploited and are getting paid a fair wage. It's also about helping small businesses and the economy. I like the idea that my purchases are maybe helping to keep some people in America employed — regardless of where they came from."
Isn't it expensive? "It costs a lot of money to have a wardrobe of all U.S.A. clothes. Shirts are $125 to $225. Jeans are $250. Still, you're better off having a few nice pieces than a billion pieces of junk."
Is there anything in your closet that's not American-made? Boxer briefs and socks from Banana Republic Outlet. Also, 30 pieces of workout clothes from Lululemon, because I have yet to find American-made yoga pants that I like."
Kaia Roberts, 29, Minneapolis
Job: Tantric hatha yoga student, small-business owner.
Describe your style: Eclectic, built with high-quality pieces and natural fibers.
Wearing: Sleeveless shirt-dress by BCX, jeans by [BLANKNYC], shoes by Michael Antonio, glass necklace from France. All sourced at B. Resale, Elite Repeat and T.J. Maxx for under $50 total.
What does "socially conscious style" mean to you? "I make deliberate choices about shopping small businesses and about buying natural and sustainable fibers. It's important to support artisans or labels that focus on the craft of clothing and style, so that those techniques won't be lost under a sea of fast fashion. Being mindful takes some of the impulse out of shopping, but to me that's a good thing."
Why do you shop used? "Budget benefits aside, shopping used allows me to find unique, well-made pieces from labels I may not otherwise have access to. I can reduce waste by giving new life to lovely things while supporting the businesses in my community. What's not to love?"
Do you have any tips for buying used clothes? "Know what colors, patterns, textures you like and also what shapes suit you. It helps to shop often, as the stock at resale and consignment stores is always changing."
Kristine Huson, 42, South St. Paul
Job: Marketing and communications manager at Children's Cancer Research Fund.
Describe your style: Vintage dresses with modern flair added via accessories and shoes.
Wearing: Vintage dress from Lula's Vintage Wear, Nine West shoes from Herberger's, vintage '80s belt and earrings from Macy's.
What's your favorite piece? "I have a huge weakness for vintage coats. I have one signature coat that's a real show stopper. People stop and ask me about it all the time. It's steel gray faux fur. I joke that I skinned a Muppet."
What does "socially conscious style" mean to you? "Supporting locally owned businesses, giving clothing a longer life before it winds up in a landfill, supporting companies that facilitate good working conditions for their workers and supporting companies that champion causes."
Do you have tips for shopping vintage? "Combine vintage with modern so you don't look like you're in a costume. Ignore sizes (the sizes are different now) and just try things on. If buying online, measure yourself. Know which eras work best for your body type — look to vintage style icons as a clue. Dip your toe into vintage by buying a coat, jacket, purse or tie."
Mary Beth Newman, 46, Minneapolis
Job: Sales associate.
Describe your style: Late '50s/early '60s; dresses, skirts with a sweater set. "I never wear shorts."
Wearing: Hand-sewn dress made with fabric by Echino for Kokka, a Japanese import fabric available at Crafty Planet; thrift store sweater, shoes from Miz Mooz.
Why do you make your own clothes? "It's hard to find clothes I really love for a reasonable price and in my size. There are great clothes for the smaller women in this country, but not much variety when you're an 'ample woman' like myself. So years ago I dusted off my sewing machine, found fabric that I loved and started making skirts. I found a great dress pattern a few years back and have made 20 of the dresses in various fabrics."
Do you give much thought to where clothes come from? "Most clothing commercially available stylistically bores me, and is disposable and poorly sewn. I'm waiting for the day when people start valuing quality again. Sewing my own clothing gives me ultimate quality control."
Can anyone learn to sew? "Absolutely! Classes are available all over town. Or you can ask a friend to show you the basics. Handcrafts are definitely back to stay."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
admits to "his share of mistakes" his resignation letter to House
Speaker John Boehner and acknowledges an ongoing federal investigation.
The Illinois
congressman resigned on Wednesday after being on a months-long medical leave
for bipolar disorder. His resignation comes just two weeks after voters
re-elected him to a ninth full term and amid reports of a new federal probe
into possible misuse of campaign money.
In his letter, Jackson
says he is doing his best to address the situation responsibility, cooperating
with investigators and "accept responsibility for my mistakes." He also says his constituents "deserve a
full-time legislator in Washington,"
something that wasn't in his future because of his health issues.

The Quatrac 3 is Vredestein's ultimate four-season tyre. The tyre is the perfect alternative for motorists who want to drive all year round in a moderate climate on one type of tyre. The striking asymmetrical, non-directional tread with the separate summer and winter sides offers optimal safety and comfort in all weather conditions. The tyre has excellent handling characteristics that are ideal for driving in summer conditions on dry and wet roads. At the same time, the tyre also offers perfect grip and high discharging capacity in winter conditions. The tread contains three longitudinal grooves which not only serve an aesthetic function, but also discharge water efficiently.
The summer side of the Quatrac 3 is located in the outermost part of the tread. The summer side of the Quatrac 3 has a lower air ratio (more rubber, less air) and a small number of straight sipes. In summer conditions this produces extra grip on the outer shoulder, on both dry and wet surfaces. Because of the extra quantity of rubber on the outer shoulder and the rigid tread blocks, the tyre responds alertly to steering reactions.
The inner section of the Quatrac 3 has a very open tread structure with undulating sipes, which provide extra traction on snowy surfaces in winter conditions. This part of
the tread also has a high discharge capacity, preventing mud and snow from getting stuck in the tread and ensuring that the grip remains optimal.The Quatrac 3 bears
the Snowflake and M&S symbols and hence complies with the requirements for a winter tyre.
Low air ratio and small number of sipes (summer side)
Open tread structure featuring undulating sipes (winter side)
Three central longitudinal grooves
Sophisticated construction and tread design
Bears regular M&S code and snowflake symbo

After 1.5 years, tires become very noisy and drive with the car was very unpleasant. Front tires have been wear on the limit indicator after 25000km. I got them fitted on the car since manufacture, but next time I definitely go for another brand.

I was tired of changing tires each season. Even if I live near Montreal, I drive mostly on asphalt. This tire is as good as a cheap winter tire, but on dry road or wet road is better. For the Summer is comparable with 4 seasons. It's true that the noise is high compared with 4 seasons. But it is better than a lot of winter tires.
For tread life I'm expecting about 60 000 kms with rotations at each oil change.

The order was not approved for 100% Fitment Guarantee and the order was shipped with the disclaimer to that effect
The order was approved as a fitment based on the previously filled orders for exact same vehicle and product shipped (we keep such data) but the product didn't fit due to the mechanical wear and tear.
*Please note, you are responsible for a safe keeping and handling of the order that is under our Fitment Guarantee policy. If the order is returned and we determine that the product was damaged, this voids the Fitment Guarantee policy. The refund will then be issued as per our return/refund policy.

Here is the layout as best as I can tell: (opps, Slowhatch beat me to it!)
I have just saw camera guy & sound guy (with "C" letter on backpack) @ Old Town Square, Prague. Photo evidence soon.
Hmmmm...what's so interesting about that wall?
I looked up the clock tower the crew appears to be filming. By climbing to the top, you can witness is a majestic view of the city. This might be one of those "find the next clue from above" tasks.
I agree with puddin. If you look at the time lapse webcam shots, it is really crowded there. I think they would avoid the crowds, or we'd be seeing pictures all over the web.
Nice! Fond memories of our Dubrovnik rigging... All to move the camera guys around? Or something else too?

Better Watch Out
The sparse and unofficial "Christmas Slasher" gets a surprise addition to that holiday genre. I enjoyed "Better Watch Out" so much that I viewed it twice in one week, a compliment to the filmmakers who've made a very unique horror/thriller movie.
The problem I'm having with this glowing review of "Better Watch Out" is that there's a mind-blowing twist that comes at about the 30-minute or so mark, making an elaborate film synopsis nearly impossible. What I will do is highlight the many things that make Well Go USA's new Blu-ray such a joy to watch:
- The acting is above average in all respects, specifically from its three young, lead actors.
- The movie is both funny and scary, a combination that must occur for a horror film to succeed.
- "Better Watch Out's" killer blindsided this reviewer.
- Two of the three leading actors (Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould) are reunited from M. Night Shyamalan's "The Visit" movie from two years ago.
- It's a pleasure to see actress Virginia Madsen appear in a horror film again, even if it's only for two scenes.
- The comedy "Home Alone" get homaged in many ways, specifically in one horrific scene.
What I will say about the plot of "Better Watch Out" is that it pits babysitter Ashley (Olivia DeJonge) against home invasion terrorists. There are very subtle nuances along the way that gives me a gut feeling writer/director Chris Peckover has a great career ahead of him.
In the "Making of Better Watch Out" documentary on the Blu-ray, Peckover goes into great detail of how he helped re-write the screenplay and how much he enjoyed working with the young actors. All of the behind-the-scenes footage show the director with mostly a smile on his face. What surprised me most in this almost hour-long featurette is that all of the young actors are Australian.
The trailer for "Better Watch Out" can be viewed too but gets recommended for viewing after watching the film...it spoils the out-of-nowhere plot twist.

This year, the artists who once epitomised all that was new and rebellious about British culture took their final step towards being part of the institution.
Damien Hirst - once the chief rabble rouser of the group we labelled the 'Young British Artists' - will welcome thousands of tourists to his major retrospective at the Tate Modern as our official Cultural Olympiad.
Tracey Emin, his equally infamous YBA companion, dominated the Hayward Gallery last year with her own retrospective, while Gillian Wearing, the 1997 Turner Prize-winner, is currently giving the Whitechapel Gallery the same treatment.
In 2012, the champagne-swilling wild-childs of the 1990s have become household names, brands - no longer the unpredictable protégés of Charles Saatchi but middle-aged moneymakers themselves.
In the process they've earned the right to look back on 20 years of helping to shape British contemporary art.
The question is: who is looking forward?
Meet Edward Fornieles, Kitty Clarke, Joseph Steele, Ella McCartney and Adham Faramawy. As the YBAs did two decades ago, these five young artists have graduated from British art schools, live and work in London and are producing exciting and innovative work that is starting to make an impact.
But while their predecessors found themselves ascending to fame and fortune through the pages of glossy newspaper supplements to the backdrop of a Labour government in the midst of an economic boom, their heirs are operating in a changed world, where the advantages of the internet and new technology are tapered by economic depression and relentless cuts to art funding.
We invited them to show us their work and explain what the future looks like to today's YBAs. What are the challenges facing our new generation of British artists? Can they really hope to emulate the success of their predecessors? And, perhaps more to the point, do they even really want to?

Joseph Steele wants to make art about sex, death, religion and war - and he does, in very different ways. Since graduating from Newcastle University's Fine Art School, he has filmed a live porn at an exhibition opening, re-written the entire Bible replacing every reference to Christ with his own name, and gotten into an argument on television with a group of art critics who disliked his reinterpretation of Hokusai's iconic Mount Fuji made from thousands of photos of Japanese cars (below). Steele is currently creating a film about a homeless woman, and is represented by East London's Arbeit gallery.
How would you describe your work?
I practice a wide-range of forms. I make films, I paint with explosives, I do performance work, I do normal paintings and 2D print work. I'm not afraid to go somewhere that might be scary psychologically or not really work as a piece of artwork. For example, Bible was more of a research piece. But I think it's important that I did it, and I think it's never a bad idea to experiment. That's the most important thing, never to stick to the same thing, and always be pushing yourself, no matter what the consequences.
How important is being controversial to you?
I think I've grown up a lot since filming my friends having sex, showing it in a gallery and having to live out the consequences in court [in 2009 Joe was unsuccessfully sued by a gallery in Newcastle after making a porn film in their exhibition space]. I've learned a lot from that. Yeah, it is important to get people's attention but you can't build a career from something that has no real foundations, because you'll get found out in the end. It's something I will continue to do, be controversial, because it's funny. You have to have a sense of humour in your work - you can't be all ivory tower about it. I'm not very good at lofty, intellectual art.
What do you want to achieve with your art?
I find that when I'm speaking to gallerists, I feel like I'm talking a different language. When I say I want to make art about sex, death, religion and war, I mean that, if you're going to make art, you might as well make it about something big.
What's different for today's generation of artists?
I think the Damien Hirst show is a big legacy of the YBAs, and it says a lot about what they really meant. I think now we're figuring out what that time meant. They were all wrapped up in the whole Britpop thing, and Labour coming to power and were told that everything's going to be amazing. And now the situation we're in is a global crisis.

Dubai-born, London-raised Adham Faramawy makes videos and performance art that have been making psychedelic waves everywhere from East London blogs such as DazedDigital and I-D to the Tate Britain, where he put on a piece called I Can Do Impossible Things. Faramawy is a truly digital artist - something he says might be partly down to his mother's love of Photoshop - who finds inspiration in everyday stories and rituals. A graduate of The Slade School of Fine Art, Faramawy is currently one of the 17 students on the Royal Academy's post-graduate course. His work is currently on show at Gallery Vela.
How would you sum up your artwork?
I work predominantly in video but I also take photographs and make sculptural installations and assemblages. I like to apply science fictive images and narratives to everyday occurrences.
What are your ambitions with your work?
So much of what I do is fuelled by a passion to be able to manipulate digital media. I'd like to be able to wield digital images like painters wield paint. I want to be able to deal with a level of Hollywood production that means anything I think of can become a visual reality.
Do you think that the digital focus of your work is unique to this generation of artists?
I think a lot of people think of those who are working now as the third generation of digital artists. I think the first generation is somewhere mid-90s, and then, the early 2000s and now this is the third generation. I'm way down there.
Are there unique pressures on your generation of artists?
I don't know that there are unique pressures, but there are definitely urgent pressures - the shift in financial models that we're coming across. The co-opting of traditional languages by Conservative politicians is quite an interesting moment. We are are coming across a moment where traditional politics aren't relevant anymore. How we deal with that, and re-define ourselves in relation to what's happening outside is quite exciting. Terrifying, and exciting.

Kitty Clark makes minimalist, fun and yet perturbing sculptures that refer to traditions and stories. So far this year, Clark has had a solo show in London and exhibited in Blackpool and Leeds. She graduated from Slade School of Fine Art in 2011.
How would you explain your work?
I like to make objects that feel recognisable and tangible, yet strangely unreal. My work has a simplistic, cartoon-like aesthetic. They're mostly hollow wooden structures finished with paint. Though they're playful and visually simple, many of the objects tend to have cryptic origins referencing historical and contemporary sources that inspire me, from medieval arrows to haunted houses.
What motivates you to make art?
I'm really interested in traditions and rituals, and how we treat those things in modern life. I've been to places that I would consider 'recreational pilgrimages' - like Disneyland, or Stonehenge on the summer solstice - and they're both very different places, but they both have a contested history and a lot of beliefs projected onto them.
What do you think are the pressures on young artists today?
Obviously there's a lot of debate at the moment about the cost of education, and I think future generations will suffer from having less access to arts education. I think that's a big problem. I still feel really lucky that I was able to study what I have studied at all.
How do you feel about your contemporaries?
I'm very lucky to be working alongside a really exciting group of young British artists exhibiting work across the UK at the moment, and I'm really encouraged by the thought that there is an audience for the kind of work we are producing.
Jump to:
Edward Fornieles makes Y-Generation art - work that reflects an adolescence influenced by the American-gloss of Facebook, noughties college movies and online porn. It's possible that most people over 40 wouldn't recognise his spoof Facebook film dorm daze as a fake. Fornieles' has performed alongside design legend Ron Arad in the Barbican and shown his frat-party project Animal House II in the Royal College of Art, where he completed an MA in Sculpture last year. He is now represented by Carlos/Ishikawa gallery.
How would you explain your work to somebody who doesn't know what you do?
It's like a very complex cake, with 15 layers and elaborate figures made of marzipan on the outside, but when you cut into it you realise it's not a cake at all but a very compact, sleek, black sports car.
What do you think makes your work special?
I'm interested in the ordinary. I'm interested in what's popular, because what's popular is powerful and if that makes it special then I'm happy to go along with it. My ultimate aim would be for people to consume my products without even realising it's art, and maybe without realising they're consuming anything at all. Like a good website, or Evian, or an episode of Gossip Girl.
What do you make of the original YBAs?
The thing about the YBAs is that they were so angry all the time, even when they were drinking champagne. I think we should be more happy. You know I think the world is a more angry place now, but I think you should still enjoy each glass while you can get it.
What would you like to achieve with your work?
A lot of things. I'd like to make more work, probably, that's number one. I'd like to make better work, I don't know if it's possible to make faster work, but I'd like to make faster work.
It kind of sounds like an internet connection?
Maybe, yeah. I feel like the way I'm talking about it it sounds like a very slow internet connection, but yeah, maybe.

Ella McCartney's work pushes the boundaries of physics and chemistry to make art that sometimes disappears even while being exhibited - like her light-sensitive photograms. She says she is more motivated by the artistic process than the finished result, though the end product of what she does has been good enough to be entered into the Saatchi-collection, as well as earn her a funded residency in Bow. Having graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in 2011, McCartney's work has been shown across Europe, including in the ICA's New Contemporaries show and Savage Messiah, curated by gallerist Rob Tufnel.
How would you explain your work?
I try and use different materials. Different applications of photography are also integral to my work - taking photographs of my sculptures is often a starting point, but I also use photographic light-sensitive paper to create an image using only light, without the use of a camera at all. I also like to set myself challenging tasks, like making a sculpture made entirely of Tippex.
Do you think there are different pressures on being a young artist today?
I think things are different now, definitely. With the internet, artists have control over what they put out there now, so some control's been taken back. It also means we can access information differently, whether that's finding out where to get things made, or communicating with different artists. I don't know if it's harder, although with the economy we have at the moment certain materials and metals are more expensive.

Why Is There So Little Honesty In The Net Neutrality Debate?
from the is-it-so-hard? dept
Finally, the article rolls out the bogus argument that a few others have used before that, if network neutrality applied to the delivery of packages, we'd never have FedEx or UPS because they wouldn't be able to offer priority service. That's the wrong analogy, since there's no barrier to entry into that space in the form of a natural monopoly. If the analogy was to hold, it would be a situation where the government sold off the interstate highways to private companies to manage (the Roadcos), in exchange for reasonable rules that since they were given publicly funded infrastructure, they could not discriminate by vehicle owner who drove on those roads. Now, the Roadcos are coming back and saying they need to rebuild their highways to accommodate more traffic, and in doing so, they want to charge FedEx extra to drive in a special fastlane -- while potentially blocking out UPS. Charging more for trucks vs. cars makes sense, and charging more for more usage makes sense. But charging different brands of trucks different amounts raises questions since they have so much control over the network... er... highway. It's quite difficult for someone to plop down a competing highway next door. There may be local roads, and perhaps one other highway choice, but it's nowhere near real competition. Hopefully the future will include flying cars that don't need roads or teleporting or some new technology that wipes out the need for the natural monopoly infrastructure -- but we're just not there yet.
But instead of actually debating the real issues, we get hyperbole about how either side represents the end of the internet as we know it. That link is full of even more ridiculous statements from a pro-telco think tank that even tries to rope in how dangerous muni-WiFi is to the internet. Apparently, the writer believes the argument that mesh WiFi could be the competition needed to keep the telcos in line. However, for a supposed expert in the space, she seems to completely ignore the fact that almost every muni-WiFi deal is really no different than the deals the telcos got. That is, it's not taxpayer supported, but the government is simply giving a private company rights of way. For someone to claim that this somehow is unfair to the telcos who got the same deal (and then chose to ignore the obligations that came with it) suggests someone who is purposely lying to further one side of the debate.

Bible Text:
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. —II Timothy 2:22
"Flee the lusts of youth." It is not as though he were a young man of twenty years, for he had been exercised in preaching the word of God now a good while; he was a doctor, not only of one church, but of the country round about him; as we know that Saint Paul had appointed him not only to preach in one place, but also to have an eye afar off, to warn the bishops and all that were in like charge as he was. So then he was a man of some maturity and ripe years; on the other hand, God chose him from among others; yes, and he had received singular gifts; there was not only doctrine and prophecy in him, but his life was of like quality and he had great zeal to advance the honor of God.
In short, he was an example to all men. Yet he has need to be humbled and to have some warning from Paul to the end that he not allow himself at some time to stray from the path and show the follies of youth. At what age? He must have been more than thirty years old.
But the Spirit of God by the mouth of Paul would show us here in the person of one man, though we have profited in God's school, and are governed by his Holy Spirit, and have taken pains a long time to do so, that we are still not perfectly framed and polished. Yes, and when we are come to the age of forty years, do we show that we are become men? You shall see us ready to resist whatsoever is taught us, especially if the question be of serving God, there will always be smoke and storming.
And therefore we begin to decline, we shall still be rude and ill favored without any improvement in us; God must always be mending us, and give us now and then a blow with the hammer, and take pains to polish us, or else there will always be something wrong with us. —Sermons
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."
These devotional readings from John Calvin were compiled by John H. Kromminga. Be sure to read his "Introduction" to John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart.

text: Robben Ford Brings It Home With Epiphone 02.06.2013 Robben Ford's new album, Bringing It Back Home, features Robben on the cover with a killer vintage Epiphone Riviera (perhaps the '63 Riviera that we saw in his feature in Vintage Guitar last December though that model had a Bigsby). The new album features some of Ford's favorite songs from the '60s. "I wanted this record to have a quality of invitation--you know, come over to my house," said Ford. "This music was made to make you feel good. What I wanted in this record was exactly that quality." And quality Epiphone's are all over the album which includes interpretations of songs by former boss Bob Dylan and Sam Cooke. Check out the clip below where Robben tries out a vintage Epiphone Sorrento in a music store in London and be sure to catch him on tour this year. Look for the album February 18.

bmarket necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 47 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
We're the largest community forum for commercial truck drivers on the web, with over 100,000 unique visitors per month. As part of a roll out of new site features, we redesigned our logo. The logo is pretty neat, but we want to make a slight change in order to project a different image.
Professional truck drivers and anyone interested in the world of professional truck driving.
You can see our current logo here: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr…report.jpg
I really like the detail of the current logo. The shadows and texture on the truck make it stand out from most other trucks you would see in a logo. The rusty metal texture on 'TRUCKERS' is also very eye-catching.
I want maintain the eye-catching quality of having detailed textures on the truck and text, the only thing I want to change is the actual texture. While the current texture projects a dirty, beat-up image, I want something that's shiny and new.
This project really only has 1 requirement:
1) Replace the rugged/beat-up texture on the truck and 'TRUCKER' text with a shiny paint texture. For example, you could use a texture like the style that is used on the trucks in this gallery:
Based on the first three entries that have been submitted, it appears I was not clear. Please read this:
You can use the exact same text and truck graphic that is in the current logo. All you have to do is change the textures from rugged/beat-up to shiny new vehicle.

Cooling centers open while heat, humidity continue
Pets need to stay cool, too
Cooling centers open while heat, humidity continue
Pets need to stay cool, too
Allegheny County said the Area Agency on Aging has 11 cooling centers where people age 60 and over can go to stay out of the heat and humidity Wednesday and Thursday.
And remember, pets need to stay cool too. Here's a link to the Humane Society website with some ideas for animals to beat the heat, including peanut butter-flavored popsicles.
Here is the list of cooling centers for seniors and the operating hours:
- Catholic Youth Stephen Foster Community Center, 286 Main St., Lawrenceville, 412-621-3342, 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
- Citiparks Greenfield Center, 745 Greenfield Ave., 412-422-6551, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
- Citiparks Homewood Center, 7321 Frankstown Ave., 412-244-4190, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
- Citiparks Mt. Washington Center, 122 Virginia Ave., 412-488-8405, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
- Citiparks Sheraden Center, 720 Sherwood Ave., 412-777-5012, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
- LifeSpan Chartiers Center, 300 Lincoln Ave., Carnegie, 412-276-5056, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
- Jewish Community Center, 5738 Forbes Ave., Squirrel Hill, 412-521-8011, 9 a.m.-9:30 p.m.

- Penn Hills Senior Center - Morrow School, 147 Jefferson Rd., 412-244-3400, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
Here is some advice for neighbors, friends or relatives who plan to check on senior citizens at their homes:
- Offer a glass of water or a non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverage. Sit with them as they drink it. If plain water is boring, try one of the no-calorie fruit flavored waters.
- Check for breathing difficulty or other signs of distress, such as swelling of the ankles, or disorientation. Seek medical attention if needed, or simply call a medical professional for advice.
- Check to see that window air conditioning units are operating in good order. If there is no air conditioning, make sure that there is good cross-ventilation, aided by fans.
- Check to see that they are eating. If they are not eating because of lack of appetite, try offering light protein-laden foods, such as fully cooked eggs, cottage cheese or lentils.
- If seniors resist visits, encourage them to agree to a few telephone calls each day, but pay attention to whether the person sounds alert, and if they can tell you which medicines they have taken. If they are willing, invite them to stay with you for a few days until the difficult weather passes.
More tips for keeping cool are posted on the county's Department of Human Services website.
The following precautions are recommended to minimize the risk of heat-related illness:
- Stay cool indoors, preferably in an air-conditioned environment. Fans don't help much when temperatures are in the 90s. A cool bath or shower is a more effective way to cool off, if you don't have air conditioning. Better yet, visit someplace that does, such as a senior center, theater, mall or neighbor's house.
- Drink plenty of fluids, at least eight cups a day, but not alcoholic or caffeinated drinks which actually cause you to lose more fluids. Avoid hot foods and heavy meals, which add heat to your body.
- Wear lightweight, light-colored and loose-fitting clothing. A wide-brimmed hat provides shade and helps keep the head cool. Sunscreen can prevent sunburn, which can affect your body's ability to cool itself and also cause a loss of body fluids.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity, particularly during the hotter part of the day.
- Never leave a child, or a pet, in a vehicle alone on a hot day. A child may become disoriented in just five minutes, unconscious in 10 and brain-damaged in 20.
- Use the buddy system and check on the elderly and the infirm who do not have air conditioning and are less able to take care of themselves.
