This timeless text is required listening for any business person or athlete interested in strategy. It includes a soundtrack entitled "The Mysterious Sound of Wind In the Bamboo", a 43-minute collection of Zen-inspired Japanese music by the Matsu Take Ensemble.

"Surprise change"
The actual voice of narration is NOT the one in the sample nor is it as good. Although the voice in the actual narration was ok, the voice in the sample was what got me to buy it.
"A Mandatory Book for All"
A bass teacher I had the pleasure of studying under suggested I pick up a copy of "The Art of War". That was seventeen years ago and since that time has been a fixture in my stacks. I tend to give this one away each time I cross paths with one who needs the introduction. These encounters have taken place fairly often and as a result I've owned several different translations. The last hard copy was purchased shortly after I was informed that my services as a husband would no longer be required.
If you are one of that reads and writes in-depth critiques on various translations then this review will be of little use. However, if you are on the same quest as I, that being to find the perfect recorded reading of "The Art of War", then this may review may help you to decide between all the ones available. The content is solid so are my opinions will be focused on the narrator.
First and foremost, I really liked the narrator because he sounds brutal and speaks with authority. I enjoyed listening to the guy and plan to revisit his reading several more times. However, this is not the holy recording of Sun Tzu. It is way too freaking fast.
As you know or soon find out, this book is heavy and damn near every single word counts. That being the case, the narrator has way too rapid of an attack for my mind. It's good as a quick listen and it's cheap which, to be honest, was the main reason for my purchase. Just be prepared to stop and rewind many many times and if you pick this one. It's kind of like inorganic chemistry, if you daydream for a second you will miss something extremely vital to your success and possibly your livelihood itself.
"art of war"
I was disappointed. Most of all because there was no 45 minute music portion that was discribed in the book details... sorry but dont waste your time....
"Great Must Read... though the voice is a bit..."
The bible of Strategy and Tactics. A must read for anyone who approach to games business and life is strategy
Brumble Bikes
"Great ideas for a low price"
It is missing the sound track from the audio so adding that would be nice. I also found that by speeding up the audio 2x made for a smoother reading.
I probably would not spend the time to read it. I might find it to repetitive in the written form and skip some parts.
"I don't get what the big deal is.."
I'm a little confused at why this book is so popular. I've heard about it a lot and it was on sale so I thought I'd give it a try. If you're about to lead an army into battle, this is the book for you... if not, then what's the point?
The music at the end is nice though.
'I think hell's a fable.' 'Ay,' says Mephistopheles, 'think so still, till experience change thy mind
"Antiquated!! No real-world application of theories"
Anyone who says they can derive good life lessons from this book is a retarded nitwit. Listen to this book if you want to tell people you've read this overrated book. Otherwise don't waist an hour and fifty minutes.
"Only one complaint..."
He actually sounded like I imagine Sun Tsu would. It was like getting an interesting lecture from an experienced professor.
There were many very insightful statements that interested me greatly.
My only complaint was that in a few places, it was kind of glitchy...it repeated a few lines that were just said. I don't know if it was just my file or if it is a flaw in the audiobook itself.
"You Can Definitely Learn Something"
The different approaches Sun Tzu provided to win a battle.
How it can be helpful/needed to be deceitful to win a battle and how incredible people become when they have their back against the wall.
Deep, Captivating, Appropriate
Secrets to win
This book though useful and knowledgeable, is a little outdated by nowadays war standards. It still provides good guidance about the basis needed to succeed and win wars/life. The ones I kept in mind were use of deception, discipline, rigorous training, and no true place for divine interventions.
"Wonderful and precise"
I was looking for something short that I had previously read. This was a great introductory audiobook.

Tressel Billboard: Not Our Fault
Remember this?
Everyone assumed that because it showed up on I-94 somewhat near Ann Arbor (it's close to the airport) that Michigan fans were responsible for it. But if you know anything about Paul Reiser-penned billboards in Michigan you know that Michigan State fans love 'em. Example one:
At this point we cannot act like we have been there because we haven't.
Example two:
It's almost as if there's some billboard company with spare inventory run by Spartan Paul Reiser. Reader Section 1 finds SPR:
The idea actually came from a Michigan State alum, who also happens to be the local sales manager for CBS Outdoor advertising.
About 10-12 of the boards are expected to be put up around the state, most with sponsor names on them.
Two are already in place -- on northbound I-75, north of I-94, and another in Grand Rapids. There's also one coming to the Lansing area, and the rest will be located in metro-Detroit.
"I have several State alumni and State fans that work for me," said Tom Carroll, vice president of the Michigan Region for CBS Outdoor. "The billboard is our response to Michigan State getting snubbed."
Section 1 went so far as to call up Bob Brown, another Michigan State guy who used the close-your-eyes-and-don't-think-of-Iowa billboard to express "frustration," and ask him who was behind the billboards. They refused to answer, saying only that the buyer was anonymous. Why they'd be so reticent now when they'd embraced their role as the state's key purveyor of stupid sports-themed billboards is unknown. It's probably not the sudden onset of shame.
Unfortunately for Spartan Paul Reiser, his kid sold him out. An emailer relates:
I put a pic of the billboard up on my Facebook page, and got a response from a [high school] classmate who is a Facebook friend of mine – Brad Carroll. He said his dad had created the billboard, and had shown him a mock up a couple weeks earlier. At the time I thought nothing of it, other than that his dad was a Michigan fan.
In the aftermath of the Section 1 post the emailer deduces that Brad is Tom Carroll's son. The googles confirm by turning up a CBS Outdoor Detroit Facebook page that only people with the last name Carroll have bothered to like things on, one of whom is a Brad who matches the biographical information elided above. QED.
As per usual, Michigan State fans are responsible for the stupid billboards. Stay your wakizashi and carefully tell the guy with the katana to go get some ice cream: your honor is restored.
Trip on over to RCMB, where you'll find two or three different threads on the "Liar Liar" billboard. Being the credulous folks they are, they all launched off in ridicule of the I-94 billboard: just as stupid as our billboards... just what you'd expect from Walverines... what losers... liar liar Fab Five on fire...
So just imagine it, Shirtless; you have the chance, when you pony up the cash for a CBS Outdoor billboard, to be every bit as stupid as the RCMB boys think you are.
Best of all, when you get your billboard up, Brian Cook will give you five derps out of five. You might get six derps out of five. So you'll have that going for you.
I don't give a flying fuck what those MSU neckbeards think, never have, never will.
I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.
Comme on faict son lict, on le treuve, (as one makes one's bed, so one finds it.)
[c late 15th-cent. Fr.]
As far as "making my own bed and lying in it," I am always willing to do that. I can't think of much of anything I've posted on this blog by way of a theory, a quote, a report, etc., that wasn't shown to be true and accurate.
But this was today's lesson; often misattributed Mark Twain, the quote actually comes from Spurgeon, when Twain was just 23:
It is well said in the old proverb, 'a lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on'.
[1859 C. H. Spurgeon Gems from Spurgeon 74]
At the time I thought nothing of it, other than that his dad was a Michigan fan.
Am I confused, or is this saying the opposite of what you're saying it is saying?
That at the time the "speaker" assumed that his dad was a Michigan fan because of the billboard, then discovered that he was in fact a Sparty fan.

I love this post. Great work to Section 1 and Brian..
EDIT: You guys that piss and moan about having to read this billboard/MGoBoard shit need to lighten up. I don't mind the trolling tag considering the people taking this too seriously will also be the people taking fake points too seriously.
Intensity is a lot of guys that run fast.
EDIT: You guys that piss and moan about having to read this billboard/MGoBoard shit need to lighten up. Trolling? I'm having fun at the expense of some Spartans, although it's not that I care about fake points.
Though you care enough to amend your post to complain about them.
this by posting, but this is no big deal. If anyone wants to rent a billboard and call a liar a liar, feel free, whatever your preference of targets is. Tre$$ell gets a fair hearing with the NCAA, and he gets to be heard in meetings with his superiors. He does not get one in a billboard indictment. I wouldn't pay for that sort of bashing if I were wealthy enough to afford the dalliance.
Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.
Your post could have had some validity, then you used "Tre$$ell" and it instantly and automatically became trite. "Tre$$ell", "Dumbtonio", etc. are like "Dick Rod" and "cHoke". They are not clever, they are not funny, they are stupid. Don't use them.
\OT rant
If anyone else want to get in on putting up the same billboard just to piss off Section 1 and the Michigan fans who were so offended by the thought that this was done by a Michigan fan, feel free to let me know.
I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.
Off-topic: Lisa Byington (of WLNS Lansing), who is in that video, is far from perfect as a sports broadcaster, but I'm still surprised that she hasn't moved on to a bigger stage (for example, Tulsa or Syracuse) than Lansing.
"500 channels and nothing but cats."
Ok...now that we've sorted out this incredibly important matter, I noticed that there is a billboard for Miller Lite on I-75. Miller Lite denies placing the billboard and has referred all calls to their display media buyer. Won't someone please take the time to find out who paid for the Miller Lite billboard??? How can anyone sleep at night when people are putting up billboards and not immediately revealing who paid for them?
I'm more interested in Sparty's billboard messages from 2008. I had never seen those before. Heh. And they wonder why the little brother label fits them so well.
Who loses 6 straight games to a rival and then puts up a billboard taunting the rival when they finally beat them for the first time that decade? And then to throw Toledo in there?
Do you know how many times I've seen crappy teams beat up on MSU over the years? I've seen them lose to Central 3 times. I've seen them lose to Rutgers 3 times. I've seen them get beat by under .500 Louisiana Tech, Louisville, Kansas. I watched a GOD awful Indiana team beat the crap out of them in East Lansing several years back. Do you know how many billboards we would have had to build just to sink to that level?
And really? Taunting us over our 34 year bowl streak coming to an end? Do you know MSU's longest bowl streak in school history? 4 years.
Epic little brother. Always and forever.
Go Blue! Always!
Order is restored. I was pretty worried there. That's a pretty lame billboard.
The reason Section 1's original post was on the boards and not the diaries is because I knocked it down there. My explanation:
Thanks for the research Section 1. If you can find out who actually was behind it that might be diary-worthy. However I think what you have right now isn't a smoking gun, just a phone call and a lot of editorial around it.
It's worth being on the board. But like I said, find out who actually put it up and leave a paper trail.
The Facebook snooping is that paper trail, so I stand by my editorial decision. But I wanted to put that out there for those of you now reading this for the first time who might have read it before had I not bounced it from the diaries.
Admission of bias: Personally I'm with the "don't give a damn" crowd. If Northwestern or Stanford calls to say "I'm disappointed ol' chap; that was quite against our standards," we can tell them our kid brother did it, but neither the target nor the national audience see the board as embarrassing -- they think all rivalry ribbing is cool.
(Blogger alias: "Misopogon") This team is under construction. We thank you for your patience.
makes me wish it was the middle of october right now.\
just want to take care of business and quietly walk off the field, restoring the natural order and thinking about the next game.
2013 resolution - make it onto the 2014 favorite MGoPosters post, not ironically
i wish i would have made my screen name "IT WAS THE CHAIR"
If the original post is indeed true, and I believe it is, I am glad a Michigan Fan wasn't responsible for the billboard. Just goes to show how having a major inferiority complex makes your team look tacky, tasteless and tormented. Hope we don't incur in this sort of behavior any time soon. Our Team should always do the real talking on the field.
"It has been my experience that those with no vices have very few virtues"
I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya, to find out a Sparty was behind this.
"the Spirit of Michigan...is based on a deathless loyalty to Michigan and all her ways....and a conviction that nowhere is there a better university, in any way, than this Michigan of ours" - Fielding Yost
I care because it is so utterly lame.
If we wanted to put up a billboard, at least it would have to be more clever, right?
(your suggestion goes here)
"liar, liar, vest on fire" - to attribute that to Paul Reiser is cruel to Reiser. And Reiser has turned in some great performances, if you recall "Aliens". He almost got Ripley with one of those Alien things, you know, but then she kicked some ass. And Newt, too, don't forget Newt.
Anyhow, glad that this stupid thing is over, and that if anyone ever gives us credit for something so dumb and puerile, we can pass the buck to where it usually belongs: Sparty.
This is particularly useful to me as some relatives are Buckeyes, and some Spartans (neither by blood, I should point out).
I am not really Coach Schiano. -Coach Schiano on Mgoblog
Whatever I would come up with would have to involve the phrase "for me to poop on."
So I'm not sure my suggestions would have been any better.
I feel like Will Hunting, about to break down and weep with relief.
Candace: No... That why they make smart word box for tell monkey hard brain-hurty things.
Phineas: Removing prepositions makes it more condescending.
Thanks for confirming my suspicions on the original billboard post. :)
I wish I had the free time others here do.
My first thought was that that billboard was a fake.
Then I thought, with the video capabilities in some billboards, one could make a giff something like this:
"I was gone before that guy wrecked the place, but it still disappoints"

A nearly five-hour manhunt across Seattle ended Wednesday afternoon when the suspect in a pair of fatal shootings turned a gun on himself as police closed in, investigators said.
Detectives believe the man was behind both the triple slaying at a coffeehouse in the city's University District and the fatal shooting of a woman near downtown about a half-hour later, Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel told reporters. The suspect shot himself in the head but was still alive Wednesday evening, police said.
Two men were found dead at the coffeehouse, and a woman wounded in the shooting spree died in a hospital later. Two other men were listed in critical condition Wednesday afternoon.
The second shooting left one woman dead in what police described as a possible carjacking about four miles away. Detectives "feel very confident that unfortunately, these are all connected, but fortunately we have the person in custody," Pugel said.
He said a plainclothes detective spotted the suspect in southwest Seattle, within two miles of where the sport-utility vehicle seen fleeing the second shooting had been ditched. The detective called in uniformed officers, and the man shot himself as they approached, Pugel said.
Barely an hour earlier, police had released security-camera images of the yet-unidentified suspect at Café Racer, in the city's University District. Heavily armed police were used dogs to search the neighborhood around the cafe for much of Wednesday afternoon, neighbors said.
"The streets are blocked off, and there's tons of cops," said Joe Backus, the manager of a musical instrument shop next to Café Racer. Police told employees and customers to stay inside while the search was going on, he said.
Nearby resident Evan Hill said he could hear the gunfire from his living room.
"I counted four or five shots and somebody shouting, and I ran out to my balcony and called 911," Hill told CNN affiliate KOMO.
Hill called the cafe a "very mellow" venue that hosts artwork and musical performances.

Field Museum Announces New Dino Attractions to Celebrate SUE's 10th Anniversary This Summer
May 26 – September 6
Media Preview Tuesday, May 25 at 10am
This summer The Field Museum will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the unveiling of SUE, the world's largest and most complete T. rex, by featuring a package of dinosaur activities for the whole family. They include:
- RoboSUE: The T. rex Experience, a journey back to prehistoric times where visitors will encounter a super-realistic robotic SUE who responds to humans by looking directly at them and reacting to their movements.
- A new 3-D movie titled Waking the T. rex: The Story of SUE, featuring exciting scenes of dinosaurs and updates on what researchers have learned about SUE. The amazing 3-D images are sure to add a new "dimension" to visitors' knowledge of paleontology!
- Opening weekend activities (May 29 – May 31) include appearances by Sue Hendrickson, the fossil hunter who found The Field Museum's T. rex. She will sign autographs and answer questions each day from 11am to 3pm.
The Field Museum,
1400 S. Lake Shore Drive,
Chicago, IL 60605.
The Field Museum acquired SUE in 1997 and spent over two years cleaning and preparing her bones for exhibition. In May, 2000, the unveiling of the complete skeleton made headlines around the world.

Let me first start by explaining that SEO (search engine optimisation) is the process of improving the ranking of your website in search engines via the 'organic' (unpaid) listings. The principle of SEO is to ensure your website ranks highly for keywords that people are likely to type into search engines when looking for a business like yours.
Optimising your website content and design helps to drive qualified traffic (what they are searching for you offer) to your web pages and ensures that people interested in your products and services can find your business online.
With Google AdWords (paid) listings, you are simply buying traffic to to your website, either through pay-per-click or other forms of advertising. But it's expensive, and getting more so every day for the competitive keywords. It's also complex and whole books have been written about how to manage the intricacies of Google AdWords. The bottom line is, before you even think about paying for AdWords, you need to ensure that your website is inviting to the people who are interested in your product or service.
Tip 1. The first place to start if you are just creating a website is to make sure that you have a keyword in your Domain Name – either the name of your Business or as a description.
Tip 2. Find a way to get a dot com (.com) domain and if your business name is not available, be creative rather than grabbing the dot net (.net) and then competing for ranking against a dot com with the same name.
Not sure what your keywords are?
Tip 3. A good place to start your keyword research is with the Google Keyword tool. Designed for AdWords advertisers to find keywords, you can also use it for your own research. Keyword research is the foundation of your website's on page SEO.
Steps for finding keywords:
- Brainstorm a list of possible combinations of words people might use to look for your type of business, product or service, including brand names, generic names, geographic location, service descriptions or area of expertise.
- Go to the Google Keyword Tool and enter these, choosing Australia as the country and both Broad and Exact as the search results.
- The Keyword Tool will give you lots of suggestions based on your seed keywords.
Tip 4. Once you have your keywords, what do you do with them on your website?
- Think about your site content – use authentic and original content, use key search words in the text and make sure you have H1 headings and preferably H2 sub headings as well, all containing keywords.
- Pay attention to keyword density, and keep it low. It can be irresistible to stuff your keywords in wherever possible but with semantic search (Google now tries to figure out the meaning of your site when it spiders it), keyword stuffing will do you more harm than good.
- Internal links – when you write a related post or article on your site, link your keyword back to another article on your site. Building internal links helps Google find other areas of your site and reinforces you as an authority on the topic.
Tip 5. Create a strategy for your site design which includes creating a sitemap – a page that includes links to every area of your site. This helps the search engines find every area of your site.
Tip 6. Think about the customer who will use your website and what will be easiest for them to buy your products or services. Make a 'call to action' and relevant conversion for every page – don't force your potential customers to make extra clicks.
Tip 7. Leverage your strengths – if writing is one of your strengths, then make sure you have a blog on your website. Remember blogs don't just have to be just written words, showing your pictures or artwork can still tell a story on your blog. If you are a photographer or artist, make sure you have a Pinterest account linked to your pictures and ensure that all your social media platforms are updated for the audiences they serve.
Tip 8. Always check the ranking of your site as you continue on your journey. You should rank No 1 for your business name and possibly, your name (especially if it's unique). But the important goal is to rank on the first page for key search terms in your business category, because that is where you will be competing for potential customers attention. If you want to rank well on your own name (because your name is the business), then make sure there are multiple platform link opportunities for people to see your name; like Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Youtube, Twitter and multiple online directories entries – it all helps.
Finally, after following all these tips, sign up and use Webmaster Tools to verify ownership of your website. This tells Google about your website. Sign up for Google Analytics and include the code in your website, even when there's no traffic, there are many opportunities for education by using these tools.
Google is such a wonderful resource, if you are thinking of building a website or you want to know how to rank well on Google – you only have to seek their advice and the best part – it's free.
Love to know whether this is helpful or if you have other tips that are working for you?

text: FoxFi has just surprised me with a message that it's now a part of PDANet+. I rejected the upgrade but "based on the past performance" I assume it will be forced on us sooner or later. I'm wondering if we'll have to pay again for the new application. Also does anyone have experience with the PDANet+? |

Now Online! Friend Code: 2879 9365 8127
Note to people I battle:
I play with all standard clauses plus these 2.
-No stealth rock, it centralises any metagame to Rock susceptibility, and holds alot of otherwise useful Pokemon down. Other entry hazards are fine though, as they compliment almost any strategy nicely.
-No confusion. To be honest I don't know why this is not standard since hax items are banned. Confusion is the hax status, it is 100% luck based.
I can breed Exeggcutes with Moonlight. Pm/Vm me if you need one and I'll get you the right nature.

Marrickville Council is strongly committed to ensuring people with a disability have equal opportunity to take part in local activities and have fair access to Council and community programs, services and resources.
In working to achieve this, Council maintains planning controls to guide provision of access and mobility in developments and upgrades to existing buildings, facilitates an access committee to address barrier to access and mobility in Council and the community, and works to assist local businesses in complying with Disability Discrimination Act legislation. Council views these provisions as a response to basic and fundamental human rights and social justice.
Access upgrades and restorative works for Newtown Town Hall
Council recently completed significant upgrade works at Newtown Town Hall to provide universal access to the ground and first floors of this iconic heritage listed building.
The upgrade works included the installation of a new passenger lift to access the first floor, restorations to the roof, ceiling and stair, internal repaint, new flooring and fit out to accommodate new accessible washroom and kitchen facilities. Alterations to the Newtown Town Square footpath were also carried out to provide grade access to the front foyer of the building.
The upgrade provides the broader community equal access to all areas of this building, enhancing the valuable social and recreational services that are currently on offer at the facility.

Kew GIS Unit
Welcome to the GIS Unit at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
'GIS' stands for Geographic Information Science. GIS provides the means to visualise and analyse masses of information about the state of the world's plant life and allows us to reveal new relationships, patterns and trends in an rapidly changing environment. As well as mapping plants and vegetation, we can also analyse the information we collect alongside other environmental data to find specific relationships for a variety of practical applications.
Our work includes species conservation assessments, conservation management and planning, climate change modelling and mitigation and the use of state-of-the-art satellite imagery to monitor what is happening on the ground.
GIS enables Kew to understand and deliver key information for global conservation.

Surface to Surface
Cecil is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is the latest player to enter the tablet market. It has been a while since the first iPad released by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) took the world by storm, and now almost three years later, Microsoft decides to hit back. But is it too little too late? Or will the Surface RT be so convenient and complete that consumers will shy away from the iPad and switch to Microsoft's new product? These are obviously questions whose answers will be revealed in due course of time, but let's attempt to break down what this new game plan for Microsoft is.
Microsoft recently launched the Surface with its flagship OS Windows RT. This is an important step forward for Microsoft, I feel. If you ask me, the main reason why Apple does so well with its products is that they integrate their hardware and software superbly. While individual hardware components may be made by different vendors, at the end of the day, Apple takes responsibility for end quality. And this gives you a lot more scope for improving the product.
It is quite logical, really. If Apple wanted to optimize screen resolution, for example, because they're the ones that decide what hardware to use, they'll be able to ensure that icons are exactly how they envision them to be. Whereas traditionally, as we've seen with Windows, Microsoft licenses the software and different hardware makers power their systems with the OS. While this helps serve different target groups, since companies are given a free hand to use inferior hardware to make lower end systems, and use better hardware to make high end systems, the loser has always been Microsoft. Sometimes the OS is too bulky for the specs of the system in question, and people blame Windows when it hangs (not that Windows doesn't hang on powerful systems either).
This has been one of the drawbacks of the Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android OS as well. It runs extremely well on high end phones--the Galaxy S and its offspring all run fine--but have you ever picked up a lower end Galaxy phone? It can't do half the things that the S3 can. The fact is, though, it also probably cost 1/10th of the price of the S3. Yet, again, quality isn't consistent.
This is why I think Microsoft has taken a great leap forward; they're integrating their software with their own hardware. Microsoft is relying on the new operating system to revive interest in the personal computer and carve out a position for Windows in the tablets market, which is quickly picking up.
"Microsoft is all in to make Windows 8 vision a reality: Office, Bing, IE, MSN, SkyDrive, Skype, Xbox Music, Video and Games," says Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. He continues, "With Windows 8, we've brought together the best of both worlds. The PC and the tablet. Your work life and your home life."
The biggest problem that the Windows universe will face is the lack of apps. Apple is the runaway leader in this, with around 700,000 apps in the Apple App Store. Google Play has about 500,000 apps, so why would anyone pick an environment that simple doesn't match up in that space? Well, it shouldn't really worry people who are planning on picking up the Surface, because there is definite interest in developing for the Windows OS.
The company has had to add computers and people to process all the app submissions, according to Antoin Leblond, Vice President in charge of the Microsoft app store. Another advantage for Microsoft is that the apps being written are not just available for one platform, the Surface, but will also be available on Windows 8 personal devices. The only problem would be for the users of the Surface RT – they will find that apps written for Windows 7 will not run.
Analysts predict that Microsoft will ship 2.5-3.0 million Surface RTs and 750,000 to 1 million Surfaces for Windows 8 Pro in CY12. Microsoft is expected to generate between $1.8 billion and $2.7 billion in CY 12. The company is expected to generate total Surface revenues of $540 million for first-quarter FY13 and $1.5 billion for second-quarter FY13. In the short term, you aren't likely to see much movement, but given Microsoft's track record in OS, you could expect decent medium term growth. It may not be a bad idea to act now and buy.

You can then enjoy breakfast at one of the many cafés located along the Corniche. After your refreshing start, head to Al Rashed Mall, the biggest and most modern mall in Saudi Arabia, for an extravagant shopping experience. The variety and choice of shops and brands is certain to delight the most seasoned shoppers. |

LOCAL CULTURECLOTHINGAl Khobar has a very warm climate for most of the year. Cotton and linen wear is best during the hottest months (April to September). SAUDI CULTURESaudi culture is historically based on the 18th-century revivalist Islamic movement of the Najdi leader Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Abdel-Wahhab. The Najd and other remote areas remain true to Wahhabi tradition, which particularly affects the position of women, who are required by law to leave the home covered in black burkhas (abaya). There are, however, regional variations of dress, and in other parts of the country this way of life is changing. RELIGIONSaudi Arabia is the birthplace of Islam and society reflects this. Along with Judaism and Christianity, Islam is one of the great monotheistic religions. The Qur'an is the holy book of Islam. ALCOHOLAlcohol is prohibited as per the Saudi government regulations based on relegious tenets (Shariah Law) THE LEGAL SYSTEMThe judicial system of the Kingdom is based on Islamic Law (Shari'ah) and Royal Decrees. Shari'ah is taken from the interpretations of the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnat (tradition of the Prophet Muhammad). Royal Decrees are also issued to regulate industrial and commercial affairs. |
DID YOU KNOW ?Dammam CityDammam City is an important Saudi port in the Arabian Gulf. The largest town in the Eastern region, it has expanded to the city limits of two other modern towns, Al-Khobar and Dhahran. Near Dammam are some of the most important centres in the world for the production and refining of petroleum. King Fahd CausewayThe most spectacular road project in the Kingdom was the construction of the King Fahd Causeway, connecting the Saudi Arabian mainland with the island of Bahrain. This four-lane highway, 25 meters wide and about 16 miles long, cost US$1.2 billion to build and was financed entirely by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A man-made island at the midway point of the causeway provides fantastic views of the surrounding ocean. Oil ExportSaudi Arabia is the world's largest exporter of oil, at least four times higher than of Norway. Daily production of oil stands at approximately 1.3 million tons a day. Oil ExportThe Tarut Citadel, an ancient crab-shaped fortress, with nine-metre high walls, 11 towers, connecting bridges, and a complex of secret passages for use during wartime, is thought to be over 5000 years old. Time ZoneThe entire Kingdom has one time zone. Saudi Arabia is three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+3). |
WHAT TO PACKCurrencyIt is recommended that you exchange some currency before you arrive in the Kingdom, just enough to cover airport incidentals and transportation to the hotel. The Saudi Riyal (SR) is the unit of currency, with one Saudi Riyal made up of a hundred Halalahs. Since July 1986, the Saudi Riyal has been pegged to the US dollar with a fixed exchange rate of SR3.75 to US$1. InterContinental Al Khobar provides currency exchange facilities at the front desk. Light clothesSince the Kingdom lies in the tropics, the nationwide average temperature is 20C. However, temperatures vary considerably, increasing as the country descends towards the southwest. Light summer clothes are suggested but bring a light sweater as it gets cooler at night. No AlcoholWhat not to pack! Make sure that you do not carry any alcohol with you while entering Saudi Arabia. All forms of liquor are prohibited in the Kingdom. Saudi RiyalsChange some money into Saudi Riyals - just enough to cover airport incidentals and transportation to the hotel - before you leave home, so you can avoid unpleasant queues at the airport ATMs. The ClimateThe climate of the Kingdom varies from region to region, but Al Khobar can be extremely hot with temperatures comfortably above 40C. Saudi Arabia has no rivers or permanent streams so be sure to bring light summer wear and do not forget your swimwear. |

Derek Blasberg, our editor at large and the man behind the weekly Mr. Blasbergs Best-Dressed List, has been all over the sartorial map lately. During the Paris collections he was drawn to simple monochromatic styles, and last week he was feeling spots of color and mix-and-matched prints. And how was he feeling this week? Sophisticated, Derek says, so were looking at fashionable women who are polished like Eva Mendes and Katie Holmes, both in Dolce & Gabbana. But that doesnt mean boring, Derek is quick to point out, citing Diane Kruger in a crop top and Solange Knowles in a vibrant shorts suit. Who else made the cut? Check out the slide show.
Our editor at large, Derek Blasberg, has been living at large lately. In the past few weeks we've read his dispatches from the Hamptons, Copenhagen, and now L.A., where he's currently on assignment. So it comes as no surprise that for this week's Mr. Blasberg's Best-Dressed List, he's been looking beyond the Manhattan skyline. L.A. proved to be a good sartorially stomping ground, turning up Kirsten Dunst in Gaultier, Nicole Richie at a party for her clothing line, and fabulous street shots from Rachel Zoe and Eva Mendes. The Hamptons were also ripe for the picking, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Maria Sharapova stepping out at events looking beachy and beautiful. But even if he tried to steer clear of the big city, he couldn't help but acknowledge the likes of Serena Williams and Dree Hemingway in their fashionable threads. See these girls, and a few other fabulous females, in the slide show.
Derek Blasberg, our editor at large and the man behind our weekly Mr. Blasberg's Best-Dressed List, was all over the map for his most recent sartorial selections. There were street-style moments in Los Angeles (Chloë Sevigny is still rocking her clogs), red carpet events in New York (Maggie Gyllenhaal looking fabulous in a jumpsuit and lace) and, of course, all over London, where the world is still focused on the Olympics. Derek's friend Naomi Campbell upped the glamour ante there, hosting an event for Team Great Britain. Being Naomi, she was ultra glam in a Roberto Cavalli gown. To see the rest of Derek's Best-Dressed List, click through to the slide show.

This was my main thought, having recently unlocked the Doombringer and been playing around with being HoF. The shields are awesome, particularly when deployed at the last second, and nothing is more frustrating than the gen being destroyed at a critical moment and having your flag swiped as a result.
Turrets are important too, because as Miker mentioned, many people (myself included) have a tendancy to either stumble into them accidentally or try capping at under 200ish, both of which tend to result in the victim being shredded near instantly.
Still, I find it hard to gauge how much the gen really makes a difference as if a team is repeatedly raping/camping my teams gen then they're generally a fairly stacked team anyway, and therefore win in minutes.

(PNS reporting from SILICON VALLEY) Social networking giant Facebook rolled out a new feature to its nearly one billion users this week: Enhanced Liking, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg says gives users the option to waste even more time on the site.
The current Like version allows users to give a thumb's up on their friends' status updates, photos, and just about anything else they do on the Web. Enhanced Liking means a user can Like a Like, and so on, in endless iterations.
Zuckerberg told a Wednesday press conference the concept of Enhanced Liking came to him when he was got lost driving to see his friend and mentor Steve Jobs at Apple headquarters. "The address, dude, the address," he said.
Zuckerberg finally made it to Apple, located at 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino. [Mas…]
