An overcast and blustery weekend of weather is in store, but the good news is tonight's rugby - and most of the country - should stay dry over the next two days.
The upper North Island will be mostly cloudy today, with the chance of a few showers, with a southwesterly wind freshening in the afternoon to around 25km/h.
Wellington should be fine, though some cloud and a strong southerly are expecting to move in around late morning.
Rugby fans should expect to wrap up warm tonight, with temperatures in Christchurch dipping to around six degrees for tonight's highly-awaited match between the British and Irish Lions and the Crusaders.
The big match should stay dry, with winds dying off late afternoon.
Fine spells and morning showers are forecast for the lower South Island, with cold southwesterlies making temperatures of around 10 degrees feel much cooler.
It's a similar story for much of the country tomorrow, with the conditions mainly fine, calmer winds and the chance of some showers in the west.

Dave Davies Remembers Kinks Bassist Pete Quaife
ANY CHANCE FOR A FULL-SCALE REUNION OF THE original Kinks; singer-guitarist Ray Davies, lead guitarist Dave Davies, bassist Pete Quaife, and drummer Mick Avory faded away on June 23, 2010 with Quaife's death from kidney failure. Co-founding the legendary British band with the Davies brothers in 1961 and staying until 1969, Quaife provided a pulverizing bass sound to such manic early classic cuts as "You Really Got Me," and "All Day All Of The Night," as well as the highly-regarded late-'60s albums Face To Face, Something Else By The Kinks, and The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society.
Born Peter Alexander Greenlaw Quaife on December 31, 1943 in Tavistock, England, he met the Davies brothers while all three were attending Muswell Hill's William Grenshaw Secondary School. Says Dave Davies, "I remember Pete, Ray and myself practicing guitar in the front room of my parents' house. There was a school dance coming up, and we foolishly thought, 'We can do that.' So we got the gig, came in, threw a few chairs together, and all plugged into one small amplifier. We were just doing instrumentals at the time, very influenced by the Ventures and Johnny and the Hurricanes."
Following the addition of drummer Mick Avory in early 1964, Quaife and company became one of the top new "British Invasion" bands. In comparison to the innocence of early Beatles' records like "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You," the Kinks' breakthrough hit, "You Really Got Me," sounded raw, primal, and dangerous.
After leaving the Kinks in 1969, Quaife helped form the ill-fated country-rock band Mapleoak. Following one dismal year with the outfit, he abandoned the music world for good at just 26, turning his focus to graphic art. Despite the fact that his final years were clouded by chronic kidney problems, Quaife maintained his humor, as evidenced in 2005 cartoon book, The Lighter Side of Dialysis.
Quaife's Kinks co-founder Dave Davies remembers his late musical partner and close friend with deep affection.
Were you surprised by Pete's recent passing?
To be honest, I didn't realize how ill he really was. I knew he was ill, but I thought he would be able to hang in there until he was able to get a kidney transplant. Either way, it was very sad. I know we should mourn his passing, but we should also celebrate his life.
In your autobiography, Kink, you revealed that in the group's early days, Pete was forced to accept the role of bass player from losing a lots' drawing.
That's right. Ray wanted to be Chet Akins, I wanted to be Eddie Cochran, and Pete wanted to be Hank Marvin [of The Shadows]. None of us really knew anything about the bass guitar back then.
Being that Pete's fame coincided with such great British rock bassists as Paul McCartney, Bill Wyman, John Entwistle, and Paul Samwell-Smith, was he intimated by any of their abilities?
If he was, he never mentioned it. I think he was greatly admired by his contemporaries, like Paul Samwell-Smith. John Entwistle cited him as one of the great bass players of the period.
What was playing music with him like?
Everything we did together just jelled, like magic. His playing was very intuitive. He was adept at changing styles, and always knew what the song needed. I never questioned for one moment anything he did. He also had quite a unique bass sound. It was supportive of the band's guitar sound, and gave my playing a very solid platform.
Was he more at ease playing with a pick, or with his fingers?
It all depended on what the song was. If it was something mellow like "Waterloo Sunset," he would use his fingers, but for the rock stuff, where the sound had to be tighter, he'd use a pick, and maybe dampen the bridge with the palm of his hand.
Describe an unusual recording session with him.
"Dead End Street" was a big favorite, because both of us played bass on it. Pete played the descending line, and I played the counterpoint.
Wasn't a similar technique employed on the band's previous record, "Sunny Afternoon?"
The way I remember it, Pete and I were standing around an upright piano Ray was playing, and I said, "That is such a cool riff, the bass should follow it." It was the sort of texture that later became apparent in the production of pop music and rock songs; the doubling or tripling of bass lines, with piano and guitar. It became quite a way of cultivating a mood.
What type of bass was Pete playing on the early Kinks recordings?
He used a semi-acoustic Hofner that used to cause a lot of feedback; you can hear that moaning bass feedback on "You Really Got Me." After he started making a little money, he went out and bought what he called a "proper" bass—a Rickenbacker 4001, and then a Fender Precision Bass. Pete used to favor the Rickenbacker for live work, and was using a Vox T100 amp both onstage and in the studio.
Didn't Pete then switch to playing a Gibson EB-3?
Yes. Pete liked it better because he had small fingers, the neck was smaller, and he could play it like a normal guitar. Ray and I didn't like the sound of it, though. It was that Jack Bruce sound, which wasn't right for the Kinks' music. The tone was fluffy and all over the place, where a Fender had a more rigid, solid tone.
How well did his Danelectro bass work for recording purposes?
It sounded great, but had no bottom end. It was a very twangy sounding instrument— like a bass version of the banjo—and it was only good for certain things.
Would you agree that Pete's incorporating the melody from Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," into "Wicked Annabella," was brilliant?
I always thought that was one of the coolest things he did with us. It showed his creativity, and the unusual ideas he had. Even now every time I hear it, I have a little chuckle to meself.
In your opinion, what prompted his leaving the band?
I think he felt a little squashed between me and Ray, and probably felt he wasn't being allowed to express himself the way he thought he should. Ray was really starting to hone his craft in the late '60s, and was becoming more controlling on how he wanted his songs to sound. He was developing a more demanding way of playing, and maybe he expected Pete to flourish more. Pete was very creative himself, and needed his own space.
What do you now consider Pete Quaife's most important overall contribution to the Kinks?
Mainly helping us start the band, and becoming the glue behind all of us. In the early days, he was the cohesive bonding that helped Ray and me work together better. Pete was crucial to the DNA of the Kinks, and things were never the same after he left. We were great friends who really respected each other's lives, and I'll honor his memory as long as I live.

By Brian K. Eason and Justin Eger
"Bruce Wayne, though? Bruce is a thrill ride..." -- Wonder Woman
Welcome to week six of TRINGENUITY, CBR's ongoing commentary of DC Comics' weekly superhero series, "Trinity." The title is divided into two 15-page features; the first focuses on Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, while the second feature portrays background or tangential events that relate to the ongoing lead storyline. "Trinity" is a weekly series that is promised to be epic in scale and help define the trio of heroes' mythical place in the DC Universe.
The Justice League had fallen to the monster Konvikt as the battle between the alien and Superman continued until Superman was summoned by the Batman to the escape pod that delivered Konvikt to Earth, leaving Wonder Woman to battle on alone. At the escape pod, Batman captured Konvikt's sidekick, Graak. After interrogating Graak, Superman and Batman returned to Wonder Woman's side and utilized a gas that kept the aliens immobilized to defeat Konvikt. In the aftermath, Batman discovered a wolf-like humanoid agent of Morgaine Le Fey. Before the creature could be questioned, it burned in a mystic fire and was, seemingly, destroyed. The feature ended with Tarot watching with shock as her cards took on the appearance of the Trinity.
Tarot's problems were only just beginning, though, as her friend Jose tried to keep her safe from three villainous mercenaries who came to kidnap the fortune-teller. Jose attacked the trio in his all-new Gangbuster armor, successfully defending Tarot and helping her escape.
This issue's lead feature is again brought to us by Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley, and Art Thibert. We pick up directly where we left off last week as Tarot fearfully examines her transformed cards. She begins to notice patterns in her readings; that each set of three cards would form a trinity of powers, each transformed into the likeness of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Tarot surrenders herself to the worldsoul and explores the lives and purposes of the three heroes. Meanwhile, on the JLA satellite, the Trinity performs their own self-examinations, with Wonder Woman guiding Superman and Batman to recognize they are each one of three sides of the same ideal and that each represents an aspect of Truth, Justice, and the American Way. At the same time, in her home, Tarot comes to the same conclusions. Upon that realization, the wolf creatures that serve Morgaine LeFey arrive to struggle with Gangbuster. The feature closes as LeFey's agents escape with Tarot in tow and Gangbuster defeated.
In the back-up feature, Scott McDaniel and Andy Owens return to help Fabian Nicieza get us caught up with Gangbuster, but first it's a quick detour to St. Roch, where Hawkman captures the mysterious Nocturna, who was in the middle of robbing Hawkman's museum of a valuable mystic artifact. Nocturna reveals the artifact is just one part of a puzzle and that operatives of the Gotham Underground are about to make a play for the second piece, located in another museum across the country in Los Angeles. Hawkman arrives in the City of Angels just in time to help Gangbuster foil the robbery, conducted by some local thugs and Killer Moth. After Gangbuster explains his plight and gets a little more info from a friend at the Daily Planet named Lois Lane, the heroes decide to team up and Hawkman opens a door to the Justice League headquarters.
Brian Eson: I'm sure some fans get tired of me raving about the art on this book, but I'm going to do it again this week. For a story that was low on action, the artwork served to frame the piece beautifully, showing that the art team can portray personal moments as well as action.
Justin Eger: It was a pretty quiet week, and a lot of summary for the characters and their places in the cosmos, such as it is.
BE: Tarot deconstructs each of the titular heroes and their relationship to each other and the nature of their function within the Trinity.
JE: And all under the banner of "Truth, Justice and the American Way," our title this week.
BE: Indeed. This book is not long on subtlety, but it hits on the right notes.
JE: I enjoy the directness of it. Sometimes you just want to be entertained. Sometimes thinking too hard puts a damper on what you're doing, and it seems like a lot of books are putting too much work into being subtle, so much so that we're losing the actual flavor of the book behind all the "Is that what he really means?" moments. Here, we're getting right to the point, with just enough mystery to keep us coming back.
BE: I love that Wonder Woman has to guide Superman and Batman through the psychological hurdles involved in their self-examinations. While the men are hardly clueless, they seem disinclined to discuss their feelings.
JE: Because they're men, man, and while Wonder Woman can be tougher than most men, she was raised in a land of women mostly like her. Bruce and Clark, no matter how many people that they have around them, are loners by nature, or at the very least separated from others.
BE: Interesting that the mark Morgaine's agent put on Wonder Woman has changed to a different symbol. Thoughts?
JE: If I were to speculate, which is why we are here, I'm going to bet that the mark will change again and will somehow be linked to Tarot's readings.
BE: The new symbol looks a great deal like the alchemical symbol for the element Lead and also the symbol for the planet Saturn (which is associated with lead). Having considered that Morgaine is likely an alchemist, I went and looked at the original symbol. That sloppy looking omega looks much closer to the symbol for the chemical process of Digestion. What all of this means is anyone's guess, but I am positive that Busiek is too good of a writer for these symbols to have no meaning in the real world.
JE: Let's see what we have here: Superman as Savior and Immigrant. Not the first time we've heard this about Big Blue. He's got so much power, it's not hard to look at him being a god-like figure, and his alien status is well-known.
BE: I love the way that they point out that his immigrant status is the "American Way."
JE: It was pretty much the exact point they needed to make to keep Superman grounded as a believable character and relevant to our times.
BE: And Wonder Woman as Agent of Truth and Warrior for Justice.
JE: Again, nothing to surprising here. When you carry a Lasso of truth, you're going to be seen as the embodiment of such.
BE: And finally Batman as Self-Made Man and Punisher of the Guilty.
JE: As a huge Batman fan, I am inclined to agree with this as well. Still, nothing new here. However, we do get a few glimpses into how the three look at each other in-between Tarot's visions. That, I think, is what made the issue so interesting for me.
BE: Again, three sides of the same equation.
JE: Exactly. Diana references the sun, the Moon and the Earth, and Clark counters with a discussion of being an outsider, Bruce being an insider, and Diana on the border.
BE: Apparently Batman is a "thrill ride." I guess Wonder Woman would know.
JE: I have to wonder if Clark is a little envious of Bruce's "bad boy" image, being the stalwart, steadfast husband-type.
BE: While I'm sure any normal man would be, jealousy seems to be beneath the Man of Steel.
JE: The let's counter the argument: Could Bruce be jealous of Clark?
BE: Bruce is too consumed with his own path to be concerned with jealousy. Besides, he's rich, handsome and a badass.
BE: Gangbuster got his head handed to him.
JE: That was harsh. Still, in spite of the visions, I have to think that Jose would have been making one heck of a lot of noise before the roof caved in. And I always love it when monsters are attacking, someone yells "Run!" and everyone freezes.
BE: And now Morgaine has Tarot.
JE: That seems likely, considering the introduction of her furry captors and the revelation about the last furry monster we saw, which was the one that targeted Wonder Woman. However, the information revealed in the back-up feature introduces the possibility that Tarot's captors are somehow involved with the Gotham Underground.
BE: Indeed it does and that makes me wonder if Enigma is tied in with it.
JE: That would be interesting to see: an unknown quantity always shakes up Gotham, but Enigma might take the cake. Also in the back, we get to see the first appearance of Hawkman within these pages.
BE: I've always been a fan of this character and solo stories with him are a rarity.
JE: Hawkman's Nth Metal has always astounded me, and I like how it's used here. Such a simple touch.
BE: This was very creative and since the Nth metal as always been about the anti-gravity, making a suborbital flight is in perfect keeping with the design. But, man, with no shirt -- that had to be cold.
JE: For some reason, I remember Nth Metal generating a comfort field, like Superman's aura, but I could be mistaken. Though if it isn't, that suborbital jaunt makes Hawkman way more of a tough guy than either of us could aspire to. And yes, there is Gangbuster once again, looking a little better than he did in the lead-in.
JE: This part of the issue really has a kind of "Brave and the Bold" vibe to it.
BE: And I am perfectly happy with that. I love obscure team-ups.
JE: Me, too. Here's hoping for more of the same as the year progresses. I'd toss out ideas here, but, for now, I'm just happy to be led along by the writers.
Now discuss this story in CBR's DC Comics forum.

I'm setting off today for three weeks of travel.
Saturday morning, I'll give a couple of talks at the Cathedral in St. Paul, Minnesota where the temp. is hovering around 40 degrees and I will get to wear my winter coat, scarf and gloves. In May. What fun!
From there, I go next Monday to Combermere, Ontario, which if St. Paul is cold, is probably like the tundra. I'll get to meet the community at Madonna House, founded by one of my spiritual heroes and mentors, Catherine de Hueck Doherty. I'll give a talk, open to the public, on:
May 9, 2014, Friday, 7 p.m.
St. Hedwig's Church
35 Karol Woytyla Square,
Barry's Bay, ON K0J 1B0, Canada
I'll then lead a women-in-recovery "Serenity Retreat" from May 16th to 18th at the Malvern Retreat House outside Philadelphia.
THEN I have treated myself to a couple of full days in downtown Philadelphia, a city that will be new to me. Good strolling weather to explore the museums, churches, city squares, flora, fauna, and coffeehouses.
|hi I'm frightened and lost.
where is everybody?...

"Legendary Stoner, I am one of them now. On tour, been running around…"
A lot of truth in that statement as Dizzy Wright just finished moving around killing shows nationwide for his Growing Process Tour. We were able to catch him and Demrick on their quest for "Hundreds of Thousands" in Dallas as they set the stage at Trees on fire with an incredible back and forth chemistry. That same feel reappears on the new single as the two link back up giving us more than just their two cents.
Check out "Hundreds of Thousands" from Dizzy Wright featuring Demrick below.

Now that the New York Times pay wall is live, you only get 20 free clicks a month. For those worried about hitting their limit, we're taking a look through the paper each morning to find the stories that can make your clicks count.
Leading this morning's front page, Anthony Shadid, one of the journalists captured last month in Libya, takes a look at the duplicity of the Syrian government in handling protests there. The report on prescription drug abuse in Ohio is required reading as is the alluring story of the prominent New York art dealer under scrutiny by French fraud investigators. Skip the other domestic news and have a look at the featured video box--your clicks won't count against your limit when you hit play on the videos there.
World: The news of Israeli luminaries endorsing a Palestinian state can be found elsewhere, but this piece of Richard Goldstein and his controversial United Nations report on the Gaza conflict is unique to the Times. Similarly, the paper reports--as everyone does this morning--that the British military will train Libyan opposition leaders, but they really add value with this accompanying story about mounting divisions among rebel forces.
U.S.: Politics wonks and geeks alike will be interested in this peek into the Republicans' online strategy for 2012. This increasingly relevant analysis piece on various Medicare plans will be relevant on the Hill, and this story on moss growth in the Pacific Northwest is just plain fascinating.
Business: In tandem with today's exposée on prescription drug abuse comes this report on the administration's attempts to better regulate the painkiller industry. While you'll be tempted to learn about the new airline pricing rules, your click is better spent on learning about a rare prosecution to come out of the financial crisis or how new technology puts solar panels on water. And Dealbook hates to break it to you, but Goldman Sachs is suffering from slugging growth.
Opinion: Salman Rushdie weighs in on Ai Weiwei's arrest and the public role artists play in today's best Times column. And frankly, you're better off heading back to the Business section or jumping ahead to Dining as the rest of today's op-eds leave something to be desired.
Sports: If you missed last nights nailbiter between the Knicks and the Celtics, the Times recap is well done. And while you can find the score anywhere, the paper's treatment of the battle between the Mets and the Astros for the honor of being worst team in baseball makes for a fun read.
Arts: Occupying a fun space between arts and sports comes this critic's round up of ESPN's presence at the Tribeca Film Festival. While this review of a just published memoir by Alexandra Styron, daughter of novelist William Styron, will make you want to read the book, you might also just want to go straight to the book.
Dining: Today's top food features are great. Try the one about lamb herding in New Mexico or this one about Canadian whisky. Beware of the Passover recipes slideshow; if you use a click to see the slideshow, you'll have to use another to view each featured recipe. Instead check out how to make Peeps at home.

The Flying Machine has been a long term dream and project of mine since flying hang gliders. The idea was to construct a safe, low & slow flying craft that would enable anyone to enjoy the incredible experience of flight without having to go through any long term flight training, as is required with other forms of flight.
Having experience with giant balloons the fastest solution was to construct an ultralight airship we called "The Flying Machine."
Together with my friend and co-developer Richard McAdam we set out a plan of development.
After many months of prototyping and testing, the Flying Machine eventually got to the point of free flight and the goal was achieved.
The Flying Machine is a powered aerostat filled with safe Helium gas and balanced for the pilot's weight , this ensures that the craft is always coming down to the ground and the use of the motor sends the air down past the tail vector fin which counteracts gravity and so you fly!
The Flying Machine is completely maneuverable in all directions and is a joy to fly, as demonstrated in the video above.
There are still designs to be tweaked, dreams and future goals to be implemented but the practical prototype concept is proof that the flying machine works and is--- most importantly AWESOME FUN!

Pokemon Go is making a lot of updates in order to keep fans and hopefully bring back a few of the ones that they've lost. While it was already reported that we will get a "buddy system" in a future update to the game, there has been some insight into what that could look like thanks to some interested players.
Pokemon Go Hub looked into what we already have and then broke down where the game could go. The new system will allow users walk with one Pokemon at a time, similar to how you can carry around PokeEggs. When you carry it around, you will be rewarded with a certain number of candies. This is a great way to evolve rarer finds or those with high candy requirements (looking at you, MagiKarp).
The hope is that the buddy Pokemon will appear on-screen as well. The team found that there is a code for "medium," "big," "flying" and "shoulder"-bound Pokémon. There are hopes that this means that any Pokemon can be a buddy, rather than just a select few like was suggested.
The game has currently hit a stall because people just aren't travelling enough to actually play the game. In order to get the upgrades, you sometimes have to travel far and wide.

Optional introduction (for the TL:DR people)
Cutting the cord was a big deal for me
I lived off of cable like it was my IV. Yet in reality, I wasn't using it nearly as much as I thought I was. While working full-time and keeping busy after work schedules, I wasn't spending nearly as much time as I thought I was watching cable shows. Every month, my bundle with the cable company was well over $300 with everything included. It wasn't even the deluxe package, but it was a small step above the basic. I don't know why I keep the house phone around, but truth be told, it's kind of useful when the area you live in doesn't give you the best cell receptions. I always ask people when in the middle of a fuzzy cellphone conversation to let me call them back with my house phone, and I'll hear the other person pause suspiciously on the other end thinking "house phone? Who still has one of those other than grandmas?" Well, guess what, I still do and I love it. If I had more time I'll even dedicate a blog post about why it's awesome. But that's not what this post is about, it's about cutting the cord.
How I did it…
It all started with researching the alternatives and waiting for the streaming technology to mature
My initial foray into the cord cutting lifestyle was how to do it with alternative television services that specialized in streaming cable/satellite channel content. I did some research here and there and gave up after a few nights because the price wasn't worth it. By the time I buy all the packages and the equipment, it was costing about the same as my Cable bill. There were lots of non-cable subscriber based options, but none was really budget friendly. So I gave it a rest and came back to this a year and a half later. Apple TV had just come out, and so did the Chrome Cast along a few other streaming devices. Smart TV was a thing and a lot of people bought them but rarely used those features. That was the first wave of streaming technology to me. It seemed like it was starting to take hold of a market, a big one too, but it wasn't still giving me enough options. I was interested in the technology but it wasn't mature enough for me to drop my cable subscription and to adopt/cut the cord. So I waited again, for another year or so. By mid-2015, Apple TV 2 had come out along with Amazon Fire, and a few other better streaming devices. Hulu and Netflix really stepped up their game, and suddenly, the stars were aligning to make the cord cutting possible.
How to get the Cable TV experience without paying the Cable TV price
What I am doing here might not be the most sustaining and maybe a little gray, but if you're all about maximum results and minimal input, then by all means, see if this works for you.
- Find out which one of your loving friends and family has a cable/tv package subscription. AT&T Uverse, Cox, TW Cable, Xfinity, any of those that has online streaming service would work.
- Ask those family and friends nicely whether if its ok for you to borrow their online login account info so that you can "stream some stuff online" because you don't have cable/dish because you're poor. Or just be honest. Most of the time they'll share with you. If they're not then you're SOL because this is an important part of cord cutting. What I ended up doing was share my account for another streaming provider with them that they didn't have so that it became a mutual sharing thing.
- Get an Apple TV (the latest model – the features are better and it doesn't drop)
- Download all the channels that have streaming apps. This means USA, DIY, Food Network, Cooking Network, ESPN, ABC, NBC, HBO, Showtime, History Channel, etc. Sometimes your friend's account (depending which provider they have) might let you have online access to some but not all, and vice versa, so it's important to get multiple accounts info so that you get all your bases covered.
- Get Netflix and Hulu (no commercial paid version), and Viki. You already know about the first two, and Viki is for all the international movies and shows (if you like Korean/HK/Chinese Dramas, Anime, Telenovelas and popular TV Shows from around the world subtitled in English, Spanish, Chinese and many more languages and all other non-English speaking countries). For some reason it streams HD and doesn't have a single ad. It's the best thing ever.
- Get a $30-$50 over the air HD antenna.
- Hook it all up and enjoy!
Total cost upfront cost:
Apple TV latest generation bought on sale: $110
HD antenna: $50
Monthly cost:
Streaming subscription per month: $9 – $24 depending on what you're willing to cough up.
I've never been happier. Would it have worked without my friends cable subscriptions? Absolutely. However, having their access does really sweeten the deal for me. Would I ever go back to Cable or other TV subscribers? Absolutely not, unless they give it to me for free, and plus free equipment, which will never happen.

Dell's Alienware M11X Refreshed with Core i7, Optimus
Given its reputation for having some of the most powerful and heaviest gaming laptops in the world, Alienware launched something out of the ordinary earlier this year. The M11x had Alienware's classic black chassis and logo, not to mention a chock full of 3D firepoweronly it was roughly the size of a netbook.
Still, Alienware decided that it needed more CPU power and better graphics technology, which is why on Tuesday, the M11x has been updated with an Intel Core i7 processor and a new graphics switching technology from Nvidia, called Optimus.
For the most part, the Alienware M11x (Core i7) left its predecessor's design intact. It's basically a miniature version of the Alienware M15x (Core i7), only it's made out of hard plastic, weighs 4.4 pounds, and uses an 11-inch widescreen. It's draped in black, complete with the Alienware head logo, aluminum name plate on the bottom, and transitionalLED lighting. What makes the M11x unique is that it's the only 11-inch laptop that's dedicated to hardcore gamers.
The Nvidia GeForce GT 335M is the reason behind its gaming prowess, and though the card remains intact from the previous iteration, it gets a new graphics switching technology from Nvidia's Optimus. The previous iteration was able to switch between an Intel graphics card and the Nvidia one, but it had to be a manual switch, where the user would change a setting in the software, followed by a screen flicker. With Optimus, the switch is made by identifying the application (via profiles) and then activating the appropriate graphics card, which is done automatically, without user intervention.
Optimus is only possible because of Intel's latest Core technology. Not only does the M11x receive new Intel integrated graphics, but the CPU is updated from an Intel Core 2 Duo to a Core i7 (or Core i5). Like its predecessor, these are low powered versions, or what's referred to as Ultra Low Voltage processor. They aren't as powerful as their standard voltage counterparts, but they come with tremendous battery benefits. According to Alienware, the Core i7-640um (or Core i5-540um), combined with the 8-cell battery, will deliver over 7 hours of battery life.
There is one casualty with moving to entirely new platform: It loses the VGA port on the left side, although you have the HDMI and DisplayPort to pick up its slack. It will continue to use 7,200-RPM hard drives (up to 500GB) and have mobile broadband as an option. The Alienware M11x (Core i7) is available today for pre-order, starting at $799.

I bet you thought I had dropped off the face of the earth after CHA didn't you? Well I'm going through the typical winter funk I think, but today I have a fun, super cute Valentine's card to share with you all.
I made this cute couple using the mirror stamping technique. I created the background by stamping with the new pale tomato ink by hero arts on pink cardstock. The images are colored with copic marker and accented with stickles and stardust glitter pen. The Lawn Fawn design team has been sharing Valentine projects all week so be sure to check them out at the Lawn Fawn blog.

Missy Elliott Ft. Pharrell – WTF (Where They From)
Missy Elliott drops her first solo record in three years.
NBA fans may have heard Missy Elliott's "WTF (Where They From)" in ESPN commercials promoting the new season. Now she drops the video for the Pharrell Williams-featured single. If you ever wanted to see a dancing, game-spitting Pharrell puppet, your dream has come true.
Missy Elliott has made a few guest appearances recently, but other than that her musical output has been next to non-existent. It's been ten years since she dropped her last album (The Cookbook) and three years since she dropped her last solo record (Timbaland-produced "9th Inning" and "Triple Threat"). Her surprise performance at the Super Bowl halftime show in February seemed like the beginning of a comeback from Misdemeanor Elliott… watch "WTF" and keep your eye out for more to come.

Trend 1: Content is King
Content marketing continues to make waves against traditional digital media and channel-focussed strategies. Digital promotions such as Feeling Gerber Good and The sound of SYSROCK are helping fill that role by incentivising brand advocates to share and create compelling content which helps generate both social amplification and media coverage.
Trend 2: Product Sampling
Cutting through the digital clutter and connecting a brand with their consumer in a tangible way is driving innovation in connecting online and offline. Whether driving footfall like the Million Meal Giveaway or putting product in the hands of consumers like Oreo Mini, these promotions are great ways of creating a physical connection with product whilst building eCRM and social at the same time.

How do I easily copy or clone a Windows boot partition onto a new hard drive?

- My previous programs are installed on D:. So will references to previously installed software persist, after shifting/migration?
- Is there any other easier and safer way for moving an OS to a drive which is different in size?

Reassessment Notices to be Mailed on Wednesday
Albemarle County is sending reassessment notices to taxpayers this week reflecting changes in property values resulting from the County's recently completed annual reassessment. The 2011 reassessments show changes in residential values resulting from a continued weakening of the economy being experienced locally as well as nationwide. Overall assessed values, excluding new construction, declined 1.24%.
This figure compares to a decrease of 3.18% for the previous reassessment period. Residents should be aware that the 1.24% decrease is the average for all types of property, and that the results for different property types may vary significantly from that number.
The reassessment showed a slight decline in the value of commercial property and multifamily property, which showed an average decrease of .98%. The average decrease for all residential property types was 1.72%.
The reassessment figure reflects the values of existing properties and does not include the value of new construction. New construction is valued at $150,000,000 for the reassessment period.
Virginia, unlike some other states, by Statute requires localities to assess property at 100% of fair market value, based on an objective analysis of the property's fair market value, independent of any influence on the part of the County or the County Board of Supervisors. Albemarle County continues to consistently rank among the most accurate jurisdictions in statewide Assessment/Sales Ratio studies conducted by the Virginia Department of Taxation.
The average annual reassessment changes for the magisterial districts are as follows:
Rio -1.10%
Jack Jouett -0.75%
Rivanna -0.08%
Samuel Miller -1.53 %
Scottsville -3.40 %
White Hall -0.86 %
Town of Scottsville -1.53 %
The new assessments will be reflected in the real estate bills which will be mailed in late April, 2011. County officials recommend that anyone who would like more information or who wishes to appeal their assessment to contact the Office of the County Assessor at (434) 296-5856.
There is a process in place to appeal disputed reassessments. As a first step, taxpayers are encouraged to contact the appraiser responsible for the valuation to insure the correctness of County records and to receive an explanation of the basis upon which the valuation was made. The deadline for requesting a review with the Assessor's Office is February 28, 2011, and the Assessor's Office recommends that citizens make an appointment. If a property owner does not receive satisfaction with this step, further appeal may be directed to the Board of Equalization, which is comprised of Albemarle County citizens who have completed training by the Virginia Department of Taxation and who meet on a regular basis.

From Northville, Michigan, USA:
My 19-year-old son was diagnosed with type 1 about two years ago. His A1c at diagnosis was 9.8. It is now 7.2. He is on Lantus, 34 units every evening, and NovoLog, 1:12 ratio, with every meal. Our endocrinologist, an adult endocrinologist, did not adjust his Lantus or NovoLog dose at our appointment this week. My son is away at college and our endocrinologist said he was happy with his A1c. I think his doses need to be adjusted. Do we need another endocrinologist?
I work in a young adult diabetes clinic. As a group, this one is more difficult to treat than others. In my opinion, 7.2% is not bad. You have to understand that it is not all about the A1c. The decision to increase insulin doses has a lot to do with activity and whether it will change or not, intercurrent hypoglycemia, ability to incorporate consistently good lifestyle choices into his day, and more. Therefore, this is not an easy yes or no answer. Your happiness with your endocrinologist is personal, but whether this was the best decision for your son is dependant upon more information than you have provided. You might want to talk to your son about the additional issues. This is a time in his life where he needs to be taking charge of the management of this chronic problem.
