On March 28, 2012 in partnership with the National Coalition of Autoimmune Patient Groups (NCAPG), the IPPF co-sponsored a congressional briefing titled, "The Multi-Generational Impact of Autoimmune Disease: America's Silent Health Crisis" featuring experts on the subject.
The IPPF is pleased to announce that Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY 25th) is sponsoring a bi-partisan bill that will establish an autoimmune disease interdepartmental coordinating committee — and it has full House leadership support. The bill is excellent and would establish a very high-level committee called the Autoimmune Diseases Interdepartmental Coordinating Committee (ADICC). The Committee would have the responsibility to develop criteria to be used in defining and identifying autoimmune disease, report on the strategic plan for autoimmune diseases, and make recommendations on education and continued education for health care professionals on autoimmune disease. Although the funding included is not a lot (just over $1 million), more funding could be added in future years as the ADICC make budgetary recommendations in the follow on years of the bill's time frame.
I have been told that they will not include any language about a single disease and that the House leadership has also made a decision not to support any single disease (not just autoimmune ones) in any legislative language. It would, therefore, make real sense to band together behind this bill which will benefit all autoimmune diseases.
The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA) has recommended that the Social Security Administration be included on the ADICC and is waiting to hear back as to whether the Congresswoman agrees. AARDA member organizations would also like to have some language that would support a study of the healthcare costs (now an unknown) of autoimmune diseases and are working together to make this a reality.
The IPPF is a long-time member of AARDA (www.aarda.org) and the NCAPG. This is a great opportunity to work together for the benefit of all autoimmune diseases. The IPPF will keep members posted on the progress of this bill. Feel free to contact your US representatives and let them know you support this bill.

The 8-inch Dovetail bar (CGE) from Celestron is for mounting a telescope optical tube to a mount or to attach accessories to the top of the optical tube. Having an extra dovetail bar means that a telescope can have its tube rings attached to its own dovetail bar. To use a different telescope for the same mount, all that would then have to be done would be to slide the bar into the mounts clamp and tighten it.

Dear Gossips,
Good luck or bad luck? The Chinese Squawking Chicken says it's OK, especially for those working in creative industries. Does that mean we'll have a good day for gossip? Maybe George Clooney will pick more fights with people.
Mimi released her new single The Art Of Letting Go yesterday. And I spent the whole day telling people to "Go to Mimi on your contact, press delete". The problem with this song is that she doesn't bring it home. You expect it to be one of those old school jams where she really gives'er on the chorus right? Well, it never comes. What she does instead is drop vocabulary. The Art Of Letting Go … of Mimi's favourite words is what she should have called it. Quick sample: trifling, exceedingly, audacity. I bet you she tried to fit "bleak" in there and couldn't find room.
Click here to listen if you haven't already.
Yours in gossip,

The second installment of your property tax is due February 1 and is delinquent after 5:00 pm on April 10. After April 10, an additional 10% penalty is added to your second installment plus $20.
A new property owner's regular secured tax bill is sent to the previous owner because the Tax Collector's Office is unaware the property has been sold. Regardless of the reason, if you do not receive a secured property tax bill by November 10th, contact this office at (925)957-5280 and our automated answering system will help you with your request.
Supplemental tax bills do not replace the regular tax bill. Supplemental tax bills are not mailed to your mortgage company. They are not paid by funds in your impound account. If you receive a supplemental tax bill and have any questions about payment responsibility, please contact your mortgage company.+
It is strongly recommended that prior to applying for the Installment Plan of Redemption, you contact your lender/mortgage company to ensure they allow the payment plan to pay tax defaulted taxes.

-A minimum payment of 20% of the total delinquent tax amount including penalty and interest charges (1.5% per month). Call our office to get the correct amount before sending payment.
-All subsequent taxes must be paid on or before April 10. If during the course of an installment plan the current taxes are not paid by April 10, the plan is in default.
You will receive once a year, an Installment Plan of Redemption statement indicating the minimum amount required for that installment payment.
Pay-off payments are accepted anytime before the fifth and before the final payment is due.
Please be aware that an Installment Plan of Redemption cannot be started after the property becomes Subject To Power To Sell. This occurs when the property has been delinquent for more than five years.
Example: If you have delinquent taxes from the 1997-98 tax year, as of July 1, 2003, you CANNOT participate in the installment plan. You must pay in full the amount of outstanding taxes to keep the property from being sold at the Public Auction that is scheduled for early 2004.

Bluffton Today
I appreciate all the well wishers calling with regard to the filing action last week. I especially want to thank those folks who asked to volunteer for the campaign that will now not be necessary. It is gratifying to have good folks waiting in the wings to help out if needed. Also, as chairman of the Beaufort County delegation, these developments certainly speak well for our effectiveness in handling state affairs at the local level.
We are off for the next two weeks as we go into the Easter/Passover holiday season. There will be a ton of visitors in our area as we move from the holidays to the Heritage. I know that tourists can be a little trying as they try to find their way to all the interesting sites and events in our little part of the Lowcountry. Our traffic circles often seem maze-like to the uninitiated. Please be kind. Visitors are a big part of our local economy. Poll after poll indicates that visitors rate very highly our friendliness and inclination toward helpful chat. One incident of impatience or rudeness can cancel a hundred stories of friendly locals.
We are at about the halfway point of the legislative year. Much of the legislation we are working through is complete or nearly so. This is the time when we can introduce legislation that we might want to carry over, or we can block legislation that doesn't, even after committee and subcommittee hearings, make sense to move forward.
This year the House approved sweeping reforms to the State Retirement System. These reforms were sorely needed so that we can keep our pension promises to our employees, while also closing the door on some employees who might have gamed the system in order to bump their payments beyond what they deserved. Failure to address these oversights will create a fiscal black hole for taxpayers.
We also approved the Right to Work Act. Every South Carolinian should be able to hold a job without being required to join a union and pay dues. In our conservative state, union dues could possible be used to support political actions not in keeping with the wishes of rank and file. The Right to Work Act identified more than half dozen instances where the rights of workers were being abridged in the name of union solidarity. I have no problem with folks joining a union if they desire. However, I do have a problem with compulsory union membership as a condition of employment. With the passage of this bill, we will solidify South Carolina as a strong "Right to Work" state.
Finally, the House is moving tax reform legislation through committee. The Tax Reform Study Committee focused on creation of a fair tax code. The legislation working through the process will eliminate two thirds of the special interest sales tax exemptions, flatten income tax, lower sales tax, reform property taxes and lower burdensome taxes on small business. We expect to debate all aspects of this legislation before the end of April.
I look forward to hearing from you on all these matters as we enter the last half of session.
Again, have a great holiday and be careful; we have a lot of young people on the road as students are home for spring break. Be kind, be patient, and be safe.

Hope volleyball player Jayne Kessel has become the college's second recipient of the Elite 89 award from the NCAA.
The libero from Byron Center (Grand Rapids South Christian HS) was announced winner of the prestigious award Wednesday night during the NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball Championship banquet at the Haworth Inn & Conference Center.
The Elite 89, an award founded by the NCAA, recognizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers. The Elite 89 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's 89 championships.
All GPAs are based on a straight grading scale to ensure consistency among institutions.
Kessel joins women's swimmer Chelsea Wiese (2012) as Elite 89 winners at Hope.
Kessel carries a 4.0 grade point average while pursuing her interest in a pre-dental program. She is majoring in chemistry and minoring in Spanish. She has completed enough credits to be considered a junior academically, even though she is still a sophomore with her athletic eligibility.
Kessel, who wants to be become an orthodontist, is grateful for the support she receives on and off the court at Hope.
"The Elite 89 is a cool recognition of our whole team, and how we're working hard in the classroom," Kessel said. "I like it here how we're student-athletes, and it's not just about what we do on the court. When I'm in the classroom, that's my focus. When I get to the volleyball court, my mind is there."
Hope coach Becky Schmidt said Kessel is a hard-working and dedicated student-athlete.
"Despite all the things it takes and the time she spends in the organic chemistry lab and with her head in the book, she's always at practice early asking for more reps," Schmidt said. "I think that is an unbelievable sign of her character, that she knows her academics require that much of her, but she can also find the time to spend extra time to practice."
Kessel and her teammates begin their pursuit of a NCAA Division III national championship on Thursday during the national quarterfinals at DeVos Fieldhouse. Hope (32-2) plays Wisconsin-Stevens Point (34-4) at 8 p.m.

PlayPumps International announced that its 100-day grassroots campaign raised more than $1.5 million to donate 111 PlayPump water systems to communities in sub-Saharan Africa, which will improve the lives of a quarter million people by providing them with fresh drinking water. The organization announced its "100 Pumps in 100 Days" challenge as part of World Water Day on March 22, 2007, as an extension of the global campaign announced last fall to bring 4,000 PlayPump systems to ten sub-Saharan African countries.
The PlayPump water system consists of a child's merry-go-round attached to a water pump and storage tank that delivers clean water from deep underground via a tap. These systems provide clean drinking water and educational messages to schools and communities in Africa.
"In Africa, clean water can make the difference between prosperity and poverty, wellness and disease, illiteracy and education," tennis star and PlayPumps International spokesperson Nicole Vaidisova said. "The urgency represented by the '100 Pumps in 100 Days' campaign has now been matched by the generosity of donors who understand that the presence of a PlayPump water system in a village can be the foundation to a better future."
Generous organizations and individuals helped PlayPumps International not only meet its goal of 100 pumps in 100 days, but exceed it. Schools, places of worship, foundations and individuals fueled their own grassroots campaigns.
PlayPumps International is pursuing its goal of implementing 4,000 PlayPump systems in ten sub-Saharan countries by 2010 by finding new and creative ways to educate and inspire others to help the cause. The group is now exploring the world of online social networking to achieve their goal by becoming part of Facebook's "Causes" application. This fall, the group will kick off their "KnowH2O!" campaign to teach students about the global water crisis and ways they can help solve the problem.

Big T
Heres some quick news of the day: Emmanuel Sanders will dress for Sundays game against the Cleveland Browns and Antonio Brown will not. Sanders will return kickoffs. No one professes that Sanders is a better kickoff returner than Brown Sanders returned punts in college more than kickoffs but he has looked far better as a receiver and the Steelers need to work him in there if they can. They need more speed at the position. He dressed for the first game and not the past three and Brown returned a kickoff 89 yards for a TD. This wont be the last we hear from Brown, I suspect, either.

Last March boutique PC maker Digital Storm unveiled the Aventum, a powerful gaming PC with a custom-engineered cooling system. They called it the "world's most advanced PC", and models started at nearly $4,000. Now Digital Storm is readying the Aventum II, featuring a copper tube liquid cooling solution and an even more advanced case design. The upgrades will likely add up to an even more advanced price tag as well, but that's okay—Digital Storm didn't create the Aventum with sales in mind.
According to Digital Storm chief marketing officer Harjit Chana, who spoke to me earlier this week prior to the 2013 Consumer Electronics show, the original Aventum was a good seller for the company. Despite the hefty price tag, the allure of a powerful system with an advanced proprietary liquid cooling solution (that solution brings the base price up to more than $8,000, incidentally) and an enclosure built from the ground-up with heat control in mind earned the attention of plenty of people with the cash to drop on that sort of thing.
The Aventum II ups the ante with the introduction of nickel-plated copper tubing instead of the normal rubber, making for a more secure cooling system with a little steampunk style thrown in for good measure. The thermal chamber at the bottom of the unit has been split into two compartments, lessening congestion between fans on the back and front of the unit. And the proprietary software that was capable of controlling 13 separate fans in the original machine can now handle 22. What kind of monster machine could possibly require 22 different fans?
This one, I suppose.
It's pure extravagance, of course. Chana likens it to a Bugatti automobile. It's not something anyone needs, but it's definitely something they'd want.
What's inside the Aventum II? Such is Digital Storm's focus on the new features and slightly retooled look of the Aventum II that the internal components aren't even mentioned. If you want to get an idea of what is possible, head over to Digital Storm's Aventum system configurator and weep.
Why would Digital Storm build a PC with tech so advanced and expensive most people couldn't afford it? Why, to prove that they can. "We want to prove that Digital Storm is more than a normal system builder—more than a system integrator," said Chana during our call earlier this week. They wanted to build the most extreme system imaginable.
More importantly, Digital Storm wanted to build a system that the enthusiast couldn't build themselves. Look at any post on Kotaku about an expensive piece of PC gaming hardware and you'll find people saying how they could build the same thing for less. Not this. The Aventum II is a fully-engineered cooling beast, built from parts that no enthusiast could get their hands on.
"This is what we can do," said Chana.
The Aventum II will launch on Digital Storm's website in March.

* Mother says she believes sons were framed
* Tells Russian interviewer FBI was monitoring older son
* Both parents says Internet use was monitored (Adds father, details from mother)
By Timothy Heritage
MOSCOW, April 20 (Reuters) - One of the two ethnic Chechens suspected by U.S. officials of being behind the Boston Marathon bombings had been under FBI surveillance for at least three years, his mother said.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva told the English-language Russia Today state television station in a phone interview, a recording of which was obtained by Reuters, that she believed her sons were innocent and had been framed.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a shootout with police and his 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar was captured after a day-long manhunt.
"He (Tamerlan) was 'controlled' by the FBI, like, for three to five years," she said, speaking in English and using the direct English translation of a word in Russian that means monitored.
"They knew what my son was doing, they knew what sites on the Internet he was going to," she said in what Russia Today described as a call from Makhachkala, where she lives in Russia's Dagestan region after returning from the United States.
Tsarnaeva echoed the boys' father, Anzor, who said on Friday that he believed they had been framed. Both suggested in separate interviews that the FBI had made no secret of the fact that at least one of the brothers was being watched.
"I do not believe that my sons could have planned and organised the terrorist act, because they knew U.S. national security services were keeping an eye on them," Anzor Tsarnaev told Russia's Channel One television.
"They (the security services) said 'We know what you eat, what you read on the Internet'," he said, without making clear how the security officers had made contact.
In her interview with Russia Today, Tsarnaeva suggested FBI officers had visited her home when she still lived in the United States and told her that Tamerlan "was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him."
"It is really, really a hard thing to hear. And being a mother, what I can say is that I am really sure, I am, like, 100 percent sure, that this is a set-up," she said.
She did not say whether the FBI had started to take an interest in Tamerlan although she also referred to the security services' interest in what Internet sites he visited.
U.S. government officials have said the brothers were not under surveillance as possible militants.
But the FBI said in a statement on Friday that in 2011 it interviewed Tamerlan at the request of a foreign government, which it did not identify.
It said the matter was closed because interviews with Tamerlan and family members "did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign".
The FBI statement was the first evidence that the family had come to security officials' attention after they emigrated to the United States from Dagestan about a decade ago.
It is not clear when Tsarnaeva and her husband left the United States. (Editing by Sonya Hepinstall)

On display in "The Batcave": all six Batmobiles from television and film! For the first time ever, Comic-Con fans will have the opportunity to see all of Batman's iconic onscreen vehicles live and in person, from Adam West's 1955 Lincoln Futura to the Tumbler from The Dark Knight trilogy.
Adam West's 1955 Lincoln Futura. Designed by George Barris, this original Batmobile was featured in the cult classic television series and 1966's Batman, the Movie.
Michael Keaton's Batmobile from 1989's Batman and 1992's Batman Returns. Sleek and powerful with a central turbine, the vehicles' slightly retro design followed Tim Burton's art deco look of the films.
Revamped for Joel Schumacher's 1995 Batman Forever, with bat-lighting and extended fins, Val Kilmer's hot rod had the ability to drive up walls.
Schumacher updated the Batmobile once again for George Clooney in 1997's Batman & Robin. At 33 feet long and a top speed of 350 mph with afterburner thrust, this was the largest and fastest Batmobile on the road.
The Tumbler designed for Christopher Nolan's 2005 Batman Begins and 2008's The Dark Knight is the prototype military vehicle designed by the character Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman).
The unveiling of the replacement Camouflage Tumbler, to be seen in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises, in theaters and IMAX July 20.

Resolution Trust Corporation
Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), in U.S. history, government-owned company formed in 1989 to liquidate the assets of insolvent savings and loan associations (S&Ls). Essentially a huge property-management company operated as an agent of the federal government, the RTC had as its primary mission the disposal (at maximum value) of office buildings, homes, loans, and other assets that were held by bankrupt thrifts in order to reduce taxpayer costs associated with the S&L bailout. Hundreds of S&Ls, which had taken advantage of lax regulations and invested in high-risk real estate and other imprudent assets, failed in the 1980s, and after the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation itself became insolvent and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assumed its responsibilites, the RTC was created. By the time the RTC was dissolved in 1995, it had closed or reorganized 747 institutions and managed to sell off some $400 billion in assets. The eventual cost to the taxpayers was approximately $130 billion, well below original estimates.

So far, DNA is inconclusive. They say that although they've tested Colons, Columbuses and others bearing what might be the same name, results are inconclusive.
Of course, to a genealogist interested in genetic DNA testing, why didn't they just test their findings against the largest DNA comparative database at FamilyTreeDNA. Exact matches might exist in that database, and comparing genetic matches and known family history might provide some additional answers.
According to American researchers, says the Telegraph - the mystery over his origins has finally been solved. According to a linguistics specialist, it shows that he was from the Kingdom of Aragon in northeast Spain and his mother tongue was Catalan.
Of course, there is also a related Telegraph story claim that the explorer was really a Scotsman named Pedro Scotto.
While some believe he was the son of a weaver born in Genoa, other countries claiming him at one time or another have been Greece, Catalonia, Portugal, Corsica, France and even Poland. He may have been Jewish - there are too many coincidences here (the many Conversos on his voyages, the connection with Tisha b'Av, and the strange graphic he signed his name with).
To see the Columbus' crew list for the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria, click here at JewByte and read an article which gathers many clues for the various theories. There's a link to the crew list, and almost every name on that list can be found as a documented Jewish surname in Sangre Judia, by Pere Bonnin. [NOTE: I checked]
Back to the Telegraph. Georgetown University (Washington DC) linguistics professor Estelle Irizarry published new findings following detailed study of Columbus' handwritten documents.
She concluded he was a Catalan-speaker man from the Kingdom of Aragon. [NOTE: Where, of course, many Jews lived pre-Inquisition.]
Irizarry's just-published book "The DNA of the Writings of Columbus" explains that Castilian Spanish was not his first language and Aragon-region origins can be seen in his grammar and sentence construction.
About the DNA testing done several years ago, there are no conclusive results so far.
Scientists took samples from the Seville tomb of Columbus and from bones of his brother and son and compared them to hundreds of people across Europe who were swabbed and who bore modern-variants of Columbus' surname.
Scientists had hoped to establish a common ancestor using standard Y-chromosome tests but they have yet to find a link.So why don't they just compare it to the big database at FamilyTreeDNA and see who the genetic material's signature does match?
Genetic genealogy is what we use when the papertrail runs cold, when surnames are changed or unknown, or before surnames were required. By limiting the testing to those with similar names, the scientists have lost out on a huge pool of people among which some interesting results might be seen. A genetic match is a genetic match, despite the surname.
Some interesting ideas - read the complete article and related stories - but it could have been taken much further along.

Have you ever wondered if there's truly a difference when you wear matte or shimmer shadows? A lot of us have strong opinions as to which one we prefer, so I decided to do a little case study with these constants:
- Same eye
- Same 4 shades
- Same application
The matte shadows are from my all-time favorite Stila's In The Know Palette. They are the perfect 8 matte shades and don't get muddy when you apply them (you don't need to use an eye primer first). The shimmer shadows are my all-time favorite shimmer shadows, The Body Shop's Shimmer Cubes #6. I discovered them when I had a long layover at an airport in 2003 and have used them on every single one of my clients on one occasion or another since. The secret to them is wetting the brush first so they're really intense and last longer.
So now that you can see both finishes in a way that you can really compare them, what do you think? The difference isn't as dramatic as I thought it would be, I have to say! It's interesting the way the shimmer shadow highlights any small wrinkles on the lid, but only visible to someone standing really close. But in return, the shimmer really does electrify the eye and bring it to life. The matte eye adds a little more drama and is a little moodier. Anyway, we'd love to know your thoughts too so please take a second to vote below!

Given four different positive numbers, a, b, c and d, provided in increasing order: a < b < c < d, find if any three of them comprise sides of a right-angled triangle. Return true if they do, otherwise return false .
See Problem 1550 Can I make a right triangle ?
Thanks Tanya, have enjoyed these.
if (a==2|a==3)
The cases are very limited to make such a code valid
function flag = isTherePythagoreanTriple(a, b, c, d)
x=[logical(a^2+b^2==d^2) logical(a^2+c^2==d^2) logical(b^2+c^2==d^2) logical(a^2+b^2==c^2)];
flag = any(x);
if isempty(c)
flag = false;
flag = true;
This is a smart solution that is not cheating the system.
Logical enough!
Great work!
Lol saying great work on your own solution :P
Great work :)
Haha that's how we roll!
Yeah, I know this is cheating, taking advantage of the limited test suite. I just wanted to see what the other small scores were about.
Fifth test cannot be true because 3.5^2 = 12.25
and no integer after squaring and adding will give such result
how can this be a leading solution?? Are all the cody problems like this?
I don't understand this solution. Can you explain it ?
Still without str2num or regexp
this would fail on assert(isequal(isTherePythagoreanTriple(1,4,7,9),false))
The benefit of a limited test suite.

Liarbour and New Zealand First are truly made for each other.
Dear Leader and Winston Peters are such fine bedfellows.
Winnie rails against dodgy financing of political parties and indulges in it himself by not declaring various donations.
Michael Cullen and Trevor Mallard slam John Boy for hongi-ing Tame Iti and Mikey boy gives him one today!
Hip,hip,hipocrisy! We have a Liarbour-led government.
When it comes to lies and hipocracy, the 'Liarbour led' government shows that Liarbour leads and others follow. Winnie has just picked up bad habits from Clark, Cullen and co.
David Farrar and Keeping Stock reveal the hypocrital quotes.
UPDATE: Friday's NZ Herald notes the ironies. Liabour lapblog the Standard also joined in as Whale Oil notes.

Super milestone: Russell Wilson's race becomes irrelevant
The Seattle Seahawks made a resounding statement in Super Bowl XLVIII with their demolition of the favored Denver Broncos, but it wasn't even close to the biggest statement made that night.
It certainly didn't come from the Broncos either, although their performance left an indelible mark on the 100 million-plus people who were watching: a resounding thud.
And no, I'm not talking about either Bruno Mars or the commercials. The former was excellent while the latter were not. Neither will resonate for years to come.
MORE: Seahawks' D best ever in Super Bowl | Must-see SB images | Manning's mark
By far the most noteworthy statement that came from this Super Bowl was the one that wasn't made at all.
To my knowledge there was not one Twitter mention, sports radio segment, column or anything of that ilk related to the fact the winning quarterback in the game happened to be a person of color.
How great is that?
If you want to talk about progress, there it is. Not only was it not a topic of conversation before, during or after the Super Bowl, but the truth is I honestly didn't even think about it until an African-American caller to my SiriusXM NFL Radio show brought up the fact that he hadn't heard anything about it. There was a real sense of pride in his voice (and there should be) that we have gotten to this point where it isn't even a blip on our radar screen anymore. How great is that?
Did you think about it? Did it even occur to you?
Keep in mind this is the Super Bowl. It's by far the most covered media event in the United States. Reporters are desperate for any type of storyline, any type of news, anything that might spark interest among fans or separate them from the pack. Even the morning television talk shows are looking for any sort of human interest story, anything that might be broad enough to relate to their viewers, yet the idea that an African-American signal-caller might win the Lombardi Trophy for just the second time in NFL history never even occurred to them.
Compare and contrast that to 26 years ago when the fact a "black" quarterback was starting in the Super Bowl was not only the dominant conversation, it was pretty much the only conversation. The week leading up to Super Bowl XXII between the Washington Redskins and the Broncos was more about Doug Williams and his race than any Super Bowl before or since. He was asked about it ad nauseam and it's still what he is known for today.
It was still a pretty hot topic, in fact, when Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles took on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX back in 2005.
Could McNabb become the second African-American quarterback to win a Super Bowl? Could a "mobile" quarterback actually take his team all the way, as if McNabb was a much bigger running threat than Steve Young was when he led the San Francisco 49ers to a huge Super Bowl victory over the San Diego Chargers 10 years prior.
Even as recently as 2007, the main storyline was the two African-American head coaches squaring off for the right to become the first coach of color to lead his team to a Super Bowl championship. You got the sense that week that it wasn't so much the Indianapolis Colts vs. the Chicago Bears as much as it was Tony Dungy vs. Lovie Smith.
In fairness, it had never happened before and thus it was a big deal and deserved the attention it received. But still, just seven years later and not even a peep about Wilson having a shot to become just the second African-American quarterback to win the Super Bowl and, perhaps more importantly, the first one in 27 years?
It's even more than that. It's the other things that weren't said or written about Wilson leading up to or following the Super Bowl.
Russell Wilson carries himself extremely well. He's a true professional in every sense of the word and it's clear he "gets it", something that not a lot of second-year players really do.
PHOTOS: Seahawks fans celebrate victory
Yet I don't recall one comment being made about Wilson being "well-spoken". I've always thought there was an undertone of surprise when people say things like that about African-American players. As in, "I'm not used to a person like him speaking as eloquently as he does". Maybe it's human nature on some level and likely not intentionally insulting but it is a good sign that nobody said anything like that nonetheless.
There wasn't even nearly as much discussion about Wilson being an "athletic" quarterback as I thought there'd be. There's a large group of people who were quick to point out that, despite the recent success of playmaking quarterbacks like Wilson, Robert Griffin III, Colin Kaepernick and Cam Newton, none of them had been able to achieve the ultimate success and win the Super Bowl. They can't say that anymore, yet for some reason I haven't seen or read anything discussing this monumental victory for that style of quarterback.
Truth is, Russell Wilson hasn't gotten nearly enough credit for how well he played in the game. His early third-down conversions allowed the Seahawks to get three offensive scores after the initial safety. I thought he was the MVP of the game.
I guess some things don't need to be said. They're just understood.
Maybe it's better that way. Maybe that's the way it should be.

One of my favorite Neelam music videos was for a song that was part of a compilation of dance hits in the 1995 BMG release titled Channel [V] Hits: The Ultimate Dance Collection, one of the other albums I discovered while revisiting my old audio tapes yesterday. The music video for track 7 in the album, by Bina Mistry, titled Hot Hot Hot, featured Neelam in a red dress by the beach, singing and dancing and to the tune. Very pretty.
On a personal note, the song is a favorite because it became my anthem of sorts for the cricket World Cup in 1996. I remember listening to it as I traveled across parts of South Asia to catch the live cricket action. Not surprisingly, Star Sports (of Star TV, the dominant sports channel back then at least), made it their theme song for India's cricket tour of the West Indies in the summer of 1996. The song is still my favorite.
My efforts of scouring the Internet for the audio or video of the song proved unsuccessful. However, a variant of the song was part of the soundtrack to Bend it like Beckham (2002) -- a film I didn't enjoy as much as most seemed to have. For the memory's sake, here is the track from the film, with similar lyrics but different music. Excuse my bias, but the one starring Neelam was a lot better (seriously, it was. I'm listening to it now, and the music to it makes the difference), but I guess I shall have to live with the soundtrack version of the song and the video of the original not being out there :(
And speaking of missing Neelam, the following song is fitting then, given the title of this post. Yaad Teri Aati Hai from Afsana Pyaar Ka. Yaad bilkul aati hai Neelam. You are one of Bollywood's finest.

Constable charged with theft
Investigators say he submitted invoices for work he never did
A Pennsylvania constable was charged with theft and the victims in the case are the taxpayers of Allegheny County.
The district attorney filed theft charges against Timothy Dzugan of Tarentum. Dzugan is also the codes enforcement officer in Tarentum Borough.
Detectives charged him with submitting invoices for warrants he said he served. The district attorney said many of the warrants were not valid. The total amount they said he stole was more than $2,700.
"I was shocked that this came out," said Mayor Carl Magnetta of Tarentum. "He participates and helps us out with the drug raids, Timmy is very active in the community, so, I hate to see this happen."
Dzugan is being charged by summons, which means he will receive notice of his charges in the mail. He has been placed on administrative leave from his job as codes enforcement officer in Tarentum.

I love reading "best of" posts. I always discover something new and interesting that I might otherwise have missed out on. I also see a lot of great posts myself that I wonder if other people have noticed! However, I don't have time to create "best of" posts myself.
Browsing google reader, I noticed a new feature advertised. It's now possible to add a widget to you blog that displays posts that you have "shared". It sounds to me like a great and simple way of sending a little link-love to posts I found useful or enjoyed.
My "sharing" of posts in google reader has been erratic up until now. In future I will be clicking that button more often, I'm sure. Please scroll down and look to the right to check out my new widget, displaying blog posts I've most recently shared. Enjoy!

Minnesota's initial bid for Super Bowl 52 is in
From Associated Press:
Minnesota's Super Bowl committee has submitted a preliminary bid to host the 2018 game.
The proposal to host the NFL championship on Feb. 4, 2018, was sent to the league Tuesday.
The Vikings revealed some details of the bid, which included a list of 48 potential venues throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul and Bloomington for various activities. The NFL Experience, a football theme park set up at the Super Bowl site each year, would likely be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
The committee will meet with league staff in New York later this month. The final bid is due May 7, and a presentation will be made to NFL owners in Atlanta two weeks later. Indianapolis and New Orleans are also vying for the game.

Hello Friends. I am back today with the promised quick tutorial on how I made my chevron stamped cloud. It was simple really and all I had to do was dig through my clear stamp collections until I found patterns that I liked. :)
Here is what I used...
The cloud image is small enough to be layered straight on top of the chevron umbrella top. When layered in the same colour, it was easy enough to just cut around the outside edges of the cloud which left me with the remains of a chevron patterned cloud! easy peasy.
Sometimes it helps to look at your supplies in a different manner. :) A simple idea, yes I know. But it has added a little somethin' to my layout. lol!
Thanks for visiting..x

Difficulty kneading rye bread
I've been having the most difficult time kneading rye bread, even though the rye bread formula I'm using only is 39.5% rye. The dough is very soft (lacking structure). It did help when I did a combination of hand kneading and machine mixing. I didn't machine mix the entire way through knowing how easy it is for the Kitchen Aid mixer to overknead the rye and make it become a gloopy, slippery mess. However, even after this, it was very difficult to shape the bread. I try to shape it and when I lift the loaf into the pan, it just kinda sags and gives.
I'm pretty good, I think, at making whole grain wheat breads. To me, my whole wheat loaves basically have good taste, good shape, nice form, good structure. I'd even say it's comparable to some baked breads that you buy commercially. But, rye flour is a whole other animal and I could certainly use some tips in how to better work with rye flour!
Here's the Peter Reinhardt formula I used, with some caveats that I list:
• Whole wheat flour - 60.5%
• Whole rye flour (I used Hodgson's stoneground whole rye) - 39.5%
• Salt - 1.7%
• Instant yeast - 1.5% (this is in addition to using sour dough starter which is used earlier in the making of the bread but isn't listed separately in Reinhardt's formula)
• Vital wheat gluten - 1.3% (I added a LOT more vital wheat gluten than this in attempts to give the bread more structure, make it less saggy, and form more gluten)
• Milk/Yoghurt - 31.5%
• Water - 28%
• Molasses - 5%
• Honey - 2.5%
• Oil - 5%
Reinhardt's formula is basically to first make a Soaker (combination of whole wheat flour, salt, yoghurt, vital wheat gluten) and let that ferment at least for 24 hours.
Paralleling this is to make a Starter (combination of whole wheat mother starter, whole rye flour, and filtered water) which you let double in size (takes anywhere from 8 to 12+ hours) and then you are ready to make the bread.
For the Final Dough, you combine soaker and starter plus additional whole wheat flour, salt, instant yeast, molasses, honey, and oil.
My troubles come in making the final dough when I'm hand kneading. I add a LOT more additional whole wheat flour and vital gluten in hopes to create structure for this loaf. I find it easier to do a combo hand and machine mix. It's almost impossible for me to hand mix alone, although this indicates to me that my hand technique isn't good enough so I'd like to learn some tips on how to handle rye dough.
Thanks for your help!

For the past two weeks, I've been covering the "hypervisor wars," a very real battle between the 10-year veteran VMWare and a strong newcomer with lots of resources and a reputation for being competitively tenacious in the past: Microsoft.
In my previous column, I interviewed David Davis about the gap between the two virtualization tools as something that will always exist because even as Microsoft innovates, so will EMC's VMware subsidiary. However, that may ignore a reality of technology product development: We all know that the company second to market has the benefit of "copying" the first-to-market innovator. And inventing and copying have completely different timeframes, so we may see the gap close sooner than you'd expect, especially with Microsoft's ability to focus on the technology.
[ InfoWorld's J. Peter Bruzzese takes a look at the hypervisor war and the new Hyper-V R2. | Keep up with the latest virtualization news with InfoWorld's virtualization newsletter and visit the InfoWorld Virtualization Topic Center for news, blogs, essentials, and information about InfoWorld virtualization events. ]
Is the hypervisor battle becoming irrelevant?
However, is the hypervisor itself going to be the place either company spends its time developing? Greg Shields doesn't think so.
When I spoke wth Shields, the Microsoft MVP and VMware vExpert chuckled a bit about the tit for tat between the two virtualization vendors and said, "I'm going out on a limb here, but it is my firm belief that the hypervisor wars are almost over. Virtualization is more than just the hypervisor; today, it is all about the management. The pace of innovation in core hypervisor technology appears to be plateauing. The real battlefront today is in finding the right products to manage your infrastructure. That can be vSphere, Hyper-V, or Xen Server, but what makes sense for your infrastructure is what you should deploy. I see this reduction in pace as a good thing. Virtualization is the future and those that are arriving late on the scene can learn from the decisions and lessons learned by the early adopters."
(Shields will present his thoughts on the state of virtualization on Tuesday, September 15, in his keynote "Virtualization today: Where we're at, where we're going" at the IT Virtualization Live Conference and Expo.)
Burton Group stirs up a contriversy over Hyper-V's enterprise readiness
Still, even if the hypervisor is soon to be a played-out battlefield, some people may not believe Hyper-V is up to snuff in the enterprise environment. For example, IDG News Service reporter James Niccolai recently reported the following: "Windows Server 2008 R2 will help Microsoft narrow the feature gap with virtualization products from VMware and Citrix Systems, but its new Hyper-V software still won't be 'production-ready' for most enterprise applications, according to Burton Group."
The analyst company did a side-by-side comparison between vSphere v4 and Hyper-V and concluded that Hyper-V lacks three of the 27 features required for a thumbs-up from Burton: "the ability to prioritize virtual machine restarts; support for a minimum of two virtual CPUs per guest operating system; and the lack of a fault-tolerant management server."
As Niccolai reported, "The first can be important because dependencies can exist between virtual machines, so companies may need to start them in a particular order, said Burton Group analyst Chris Wolf. The second translates to a lack of compute power: Microsoft supports more than two virtual CPUs with its newest OSes, but only two with Windows Server 2003, and one for all other operating systems, Wolf said." Note, this issue with compute is that Microsoft does not offer SMP (multiple virtual CPU) support for Linux workloads. Many large enterprises run a variety of Linux applications in production, making scalable support for Linux environments a requirement. The Burton Group and Chris Wolf (a virtualization expert) are well respected so I look forward to seeing if Hyper-V can meet their standards going forward.
I spoke to several people at Microsoft about Hyper-V being enterprise-worthy, the Burton Group report, and their take on the competition with VMware. The had several interesting points that speak to the other side of the coin discussed by David Davis. They countered:
First, VMware's platform is the ESX hypervisor and Microsoft's platform is Windows. This reality dictates the two companies' business models, development priorities, developer and channel priorities, and more. For Microsoft this means the partner ecosystem for Windows Server is the partner ecosystem for Hyper-V. It also means that customers adopt Windows Server for much more than just virtualization (Hyper-V), but also Web, directory services, file/print, networking, security, and more. And it means that the APIs for its products are open to one and all, not closely guarded like the APIs for vSphere.
Second, Microsoft views the hypervisor as a commodity, a view held by other vendors, too. That's why Microsoft has developed interoperability agreements with Novell, Citrix (and previously with XenSource), and Red Hat, so customers can better manage a multihypervisor environment. Although Microsoft will continue to add new features to Hyper-V, just like it does with Windows Server, the bigger impact will come from systems management. Case in point: Microsoft's System Center suite is well-established at managing Windows desktops, servers, and Microsoft applications (including SQL Server, Exchange, and SharePoint). More recently, customers now can use System Center to manage VMware ESX virtual machines and non-Windows operating systems, and they can buy one license that lets them distribute, update, monitor, and back up an unlimited number of virtual machines running on either a server or desktop.
Third, pertaining to the Burton Group scorecard, is that Microsoft customers have similar capabilities to what is ostensibly missing. For example, customers can assign priority to VMs at the host level, which today allows customers to prioritize running and memory to one workload over others. This isn't exactly what Burton Group's scorecard evaluated, but it also didn't look at the relative cost/value proposition to customers for that feature. I believe most of you are just fine with host-level VM prioritization. As far as SMP support for VMs, Hyper-V covers Windows Server 2003 and 2008, which is a huge part of the installed base. And Microsoft's recent Hyper-V IC contribution to GPL v2 will give the open source community the opportunity to develop SMP support to run non-Windows OSes.
The Microsoft reps also countered the Burton Group's knock on Hyper-V's enterprise worthiness by citing several large companies -- Ingersoll Rand, Renault Retail Group, Yahoo Japan, and of course, Microsoft.com -- that run on Hyper-V. And customers such as the University of Miami, Ingersoll Rand, Crutchfield, Group Health, and more than 100 more have switched away from VMware in the past year, according to the (hardly unbiased) folks at Microsoft.
Where do you stand in the soon-to-be-over hypervisor wars? Are you beyond the hypervisor debate and into the management infrastructure debate? Are you in agreement with the Burton Group's stand, or do you think that gap between Hyper-V and ESX is narrower than VMware (and others) would like to admit?
Addendum: After this story went live, Chris Wolf of the Burton Group was given an opportunity to explain the position more clearly: "Burton Group has consistently maintained that our criteria is based on large enterprises virtualizing heterogeneous workloads. Since our evaluation criteria was announced in February, we have maintained that while we provide a guideline, customers know their criteria best. It is up to each customer to select the evaluation criteria that is absolutely critical for their needs. Oftentimes, select criteria that we list as "preferred" or "optional" is considered essential by some customers, or for certain workloads such as virtual desktops. Hundreds of enterprises, both small and large, have used our criteria as the baseline for their RFPs and virtualization product decisions. In nearly all cases, the criteria were adjusted by the individual organization to reflect their virtualization needs. That being said, I understand Microsoft's position with regards to our criteria. Numerous Burton Group clients run production workloads on Hyper-V today, and do so with our full backing. As a fully independent, vendor-neutral research firm, Burton Group will continue to recommend what we feel is the right technology for each of our clients' unique situations. It is our hope that our evaluation criteria will continue to be used by user organizations as the baseline for each of their comprehensive virtualization platform assessments."

If THL is lost on a master before the events contained within it have been applied to the slave(s), the THL will need to be rebuilt from the existing MySQL binary logs.
If the MySQL binary logs no longer exist, then recovery of the lost transactions in THL will NOT be possible.
The basic sequence of operation for recovering the THL on both master and slaves is:
Gather the failing requested sequence numbers from all slaves:
trepctl status
pendingError : Event extraction failed
pendingErrorCode : NONE
pendingErrorEventId : NONE
pendingErrorSeqno : -1
pendingExceptionMessage: Client handshake failure: Client response validation failed:
Master log does not contain requested transaction:
master source ID=db1 client source ID=db2 requested seqno=4 client epoch number=0 master min seqno=8 master max seqno=8
In the above example, when slave db2 comes back online, it requests a copy of the last seqno in local thl (4) from the master db1 to compare for data integrity purposes, which the master no longer has.
Keep a note of the lowest sequence number and the host that it is on across all slaves for use in the next step.
On the slave with the lowest failing requested seqno, get the epoch, source-id and event-id (binlog position) from the THL using the command thl list -seqno specifying the sequence number above. This information will be needed on the extractor (master) in a later step. For example:
thl list -seqno 4
SEQ# = 4 / FRAG# = 0 (last frag)
- EVENTID = mysql-bin.000009:0000000000001844;56
- SOURCEID = db1
- METADATA = [mysql_server_id=33155307;dbms_type=mysql;tz_aware=true;is_metadata=true; »
- TYPE = com.continuent.tungsten.replicator.event.ReplDBMSEvent
- OPTIONS = [##charset = UTF-8, autocommit = 1, sql_auto_is_null = 0,
foreign_key_checks = 1, unique_checks = 1, time_zone = '+00:00',
sql_mode = 'NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,IGNORE_SPACE',
character_set_client = 33, collation_connection = 33, collation_server = 8]
- SCHEMA = tungsten_east
- SQL(0) = UPDATE tungsten_east.heartbeat SET source_tstamp= '2017-07-14 14:49:00', $raquo;
salt= 5, name= 'NONE' WHERE id= 1
There are two more ways of getting the same information, use the one you are most comfortable with:
dsctl get[{"extract_timestamp":"2017-07-14 14:49:00.0","eventid":"mysql-bin.000009:0000000000001844;56",» "fragno":0,"last_frag":true,"seqno":4,"update_timestamp":"2017-07-14 14:49:00.0",» "shard_id":"#UNKNOWN","applied_latency":0,"epoch_number":0,"task_id":0,"source_id":"db1"}] tungsten@db2:/opt/replicator>
tungsten_get_position{ "applied_latency": 0, "epoch_number": 0, "eventid": "mysql-bin.000009:0000000000001844;56", "extract_timestamp": "2017-07-14 14:49:00.0", "fragno": 0, "last_frag": "1", "seqno": 4, "shard_id": "#UNKNOWN", "source_id": "db1", "task_id": 0, "update_timestamp": "2017-07-14 14:49:00.0" }
Clear all THL on the master since it is no longer needed by any slaves:
thl purge
Use the tungsten_set_position command on the master with the values we got from the slave with the lowest seqno to tell the master replicator to begin generating THL starting from that event in the MySQL binary logs:
tungsten_set_position --seqno=4 --epoch=0 --source-id=db1 --event-id=mysql-bin.00009:0000000000001844
You may also use dsctl, but that requires executing the dsctl reset command first.
Switch the master to online state:
trepctl online
Switch the slaves to online state once the master is fully online:
trepctl online

Since its founding, Louis Vuitton has sought to create objects that last, articles that are passed down from generation to generation. Naturally, its perfume bottles, which are refillable, carry on this sustainable tradition.
To have a bottle refilled, one needs to simply bring it to the nearest of the House's boutiques. Each store maintains various perfume fountains, avant-garde tools developed specially for these bottles and exclusive to Louis Vuitton. In the space of a few seconds, the empty bottle is once again full, without ever having been opened, as if it were a sort of futuristic capsule. Not a drop of fragrance is lost. The perfume never comes in contact with the surrounding air, and so remains perfectly intact, identical to the original. The House's bottles are thus an effective and innovative way of helping to preserve the environment.
They are also a way to pay homage to the Fontaines Parfumées, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud's workshop in Grasse, in Provence, where perfume bottles were already being refilled at the source starting last century.

Baxter's Guide : Biographical Sources in the India Office Records : 3rd Edition
This is the bible for all who are researching ancestors in British India and South Asia. The information sought will probably be found in the India Office Records, which occupy 15 km of shelving hidden away in the basements of the British Library. Thankfully, the author provides invaluable guidance on exactly where relevant information may be located for more than forty different categories of people. The reader is also directed to published sources. If confronted by an obscure term while researching, for instance on learning that an ancestor was a clerk in the Sadr Faujdari Adalat, then 'The glossary of terms used in the administration of British India' towards the end of this guide will be enlightening.

So I Want to Kill This [Spritzhead]: Paranoia in Tori Amos, Hothead Paisan, and reading/writing generally
by megan milks on Oct.26, 2010
In "Paranoid Reading and Reparative Reading, or, You're So Paranoid, You Probably Think This Essay Is About You," a chapter in Touching Feeling, Sedgwick addresses the paranoid reading practices that she argues have come to monopolize critical theory, including New Historicist, deconstructive, feminist, and psychoanalytic studies, and especially queer studies: in these fields, she claims, "to apply a hermeneutics of suspicion is widely understood as a mandatory injunction rather than a possibility among other possibilities" (125).
To explain what she means by paranoid reading, and to contrast it to the reparative reading mode towards which she desires queer studies to turn, Sedgwick adopts Melanie Klein's formulation of two affective positions, the schizoid/paranoid and the depressive/reparative. These are positions, importantly, not developmental stages, and so they are temporary, changing, and relational, each subject to oscillation into the other. Klein sees the depressive position as a reprieve from the schizoid/paranoid position: its "terrible alertness," its government by "hatred, envy, and anxiety." From the depressive position, it is possible, Sedgwick explains:
to use one's own resources to assemble or 'repair' the murderous part-objects into something like a whole — though, I would emphasize, not necessarily like any preexisting whole…a more satisfying object [that] is available both to be identified with and to offer one nourishment and comfort in turn. Among Klein's names for the reparative process is love. (128)
I want to look at two performances of the oscillation between Klein's paranoid and depressive positions within art — then return to Sedgwick and think about paranoid writing. I don't understand why my writing here is so forced and I can't break out. You're going to point out every interpretive error, aren't you, sneer that it's obvious I've never read Klein. Stop it I hate you. Fuck you all.
Tori Amos's "The Waitress" has radically evolved since its original 1994 recording on Under the Pink. The original version is pure murderlust, its speaker, a waitress, announcing her desire to kill a fellow waitress, a desire suppressed only by the speaker's belief "in peace, bitch." In this version the speaker is ruled by the "hatred, envy, and anxiety" that characterize Klein's paranoid/schizoid position. The speaker is stuck, paralyzed by her "terrible alertness" to the threat posed by the presumably more-powerful waitress.
The version that Tori played on her 1998 Plugged tour is vastly transformed from the original and is improvised slightly differently in each performance. This clip is pretty characteristic:

ffilz wrote:The buttress at the end probably should just be 1x2 slope, otherwise two adjacent 2x2 slopes will be awfully wide.
The other option is to suggest there NOT be a buttress at the end.
Actually, no matter what the standard is, joining wall sections that are very different in style may look odd.
Well, I personally like the buttresses and think they look cool in the water but they may be better left off the substandard.
IF we adopt the "moat substandard" and IF we keep the buttresses, I agree that they should be 1x slopes.
The wall-style issue has always been a problem but it has worked so far. We did even discuss a "double-height substandard" at one point a few years ago in which transitions and different styles were an issue.
SEdmison wrote:I love the idea of realigning CCC wall sections to base8 alignment.
It does seem like a bit of a "no-brainer" to me and I cannot think of any real objections.
Of course, I do see objections for the "interior" which is why I suggest bare baseplates for the interior. If we move to BpB inside the city then we lose the ability to easily install and move buildings.
...I've been using baseplate-plus-brick-plus-plate. This allows me to put 1x2 bricks with Technic pin holes or Technic axle holes to allow connecting sections, and then to have a plate over them to anchor them to the rest of the section (to keep them from sheering off).
The really great thing about BpB in practice is that an occasional single plate up or down at the edges is actually desirable and easy to deal with on the day. Reinforcing a connector brick is not a big deal and does not even require the standard to be rewritten.
I went a little nuts with the Technic connectors; I didn't necessarily have to have that many connectors all the way around the section, but you get the idea.
Love the detail on the samples.
Re: pin connectors: I find them totally unnecessary for landscaping. The pins are usually annoying to deal with as I find them stiff and impede movement as you are doing layout. If you simply throw on a few plates, trees or other "details" here and there it joins the segments more effectively (pins often leave gaps) and adds more visual interest to what becomes oddly flat strips of landscape at the joints. I borrowed a trick from my trainhead friend who has a ziploc bag full of 2x2 green plates which he uses to lock down baseplates on a table. One person provides a bag for the display and if a few here or there don't make it back to the correct owner no big deal.
If it is decided that pins are needed I would suggest we copy the pin hole positions from the wall sections and simply put two pin holes in the middle of the 8cre. But as I said, I don't think we really need them.

Tennis Arm Chair
Furniture Design Focus: Tennis Arm Chair
A Good Furniture design example, the Tennis is a creative Arm Chair design. Tennis was designed in 2009, and here is a how it is described by its designer: Inspired by the shape of tennis ball, this arm chair has chrome shell outside and leather seating inside, my idea for the chair is futuristic, I want it to be light and I want it to be like transformers; two of them making a combo and also like the droids in starwars, I want them to follow you, of course wireless speakers or hologram units will be embedded.
