New Car Review Video
2013 Toyota Sequoia: New Car Review - Video
If bigger really is better, there aren't many full-size SUVs on the road bigger or better than the 2013 Toyota Sequoia. For 2013, the Sequoia surpasses the size and roominess of its closest rivals. And that's just the beginning.
Large and In Charge
One look at the Sequoia and you can see its exterior dimensions are jumbo-sized, but the Sequoia is more than just about large proportions. Offered in three trim levels -- SR5, Limited and Platinum -- the list of standard equipment and optional features makes each level easy to personalize. Be prepared to be a bit overwhelmed with the Sequoia's premium-level cabin. For 2013, the Sequoia can be had with a Toyota-first Blu-Ray rear-seat entertainment system, which takes passenger enjoyment one step past the conventional DVD setup.
We also highly recommend the Toyota Entune system that's standard on the Platinum trim and optional otherwise. In addition to voice-activated navigation, Entune gives you access to local fuel prices, sports, stocks, traffic and weather.
With all the Sequoia's available features and technology, the instrument panel is immense, but that can be a drawback for the driver, making some controls so far away, they're actually hard to reach.
However, in terms of roominess, the Sequoia delivers fully. Passenger comfort is elevated to the max thanks to an incredibly spacious and airy cabin. And with the rear seats folded out of the way, there's a remarkable 120 cu ft of cargo volume.
Trucklike Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Sequoia is powered by a 381-horsepower, 5.7-liter V8 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Energy channels either to the rear wheels only or through a very capable 4-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing for off-roading. And the steering is light, which helps with maneuvering this big rig. The Sequoia also has a 4-wheel independent suspension, so it soaks up bumps nicely. But it is a big, broad hauler, so in tight urban driving you have to be alert.
Like any other big truck, this V8-powered SUV drinks a lot of gasoline. Environmental Protection Agency estimates are 13 miles per gallon city/18 mpg hwy in rear-wheel-drive and 13 mpg city/17 mpg hwy in 4-wheel-drive. So, if fuel economy is important to you, the Sequoia may not be your first choice.
But the Sequoia comes in strong on the safety front. It offers Toyota's Star Safety system with vehicle stability control, an available blind spot monitoring system and a plethora of airbags across all three rows.
Hefty Sticker
All of this SUV goodness comes at a price. The Sequoia SR5 has a base sticker of $42,455, and the upmarket Platinum trim with 4-wheel drive begins at an eye-opening $63,070. The Sequoia is most commonly cross-shopped against the Chevy Tahoe, Ford Expedition and Dodge Durango. All three competitors are worth test drives.
The Full-size Answer
The 2013 Toyota Sequoia is a truck-based, full-size SUV that's ideal for anyone who enjoys moving lots of people and lots of cargo in total comfort. In other words, it is the ultimate family road-trip vehicle. Yes, it might be both pricey and thirsty, but it aptly delivers on all its big promises.

Limescale Prevention
Hard Water affects over 60% of homes in the United Kingdom.
Unfortunately living in a hard water area is a matter of geography – but that doesn't mean that you have to tolerate the numerous harmful, costly, and unsightly effects that hard water creates.
Hard Water... What's the cost?
Every time you turn on your taps, switch on your central heating, and use your water related appliances you are wasting money. In fact everything that hard water comes into contact with is costing you money.
The result? Damaged showers, tarnished taps, nasty tidemarks around baths and wash basins, and that's just the damage that you can see...
Say Goodbye to Limescale, Hello to Savings...
One of the many benefits of pure water is the removal of limescale.
Unseen lime scale deposits build up inside dishwashers,washing machines, immersion heaters and showers, reducing their performance and shortening their lifespan.
Central heating elements clog, pipes corrode and hoses split all leading to costly repairs and even possibly replacements.
Limescale has a hugely detrimental effect in your hot water system. When you heat hard water the effect is scale! The chalk and lime (calcium and magnesium) in water precipitates as 'fur' (as seen in your kettle) and blocks pipes and deposits it in hot water cylinders. Scale can form at a rate of 1.6mm a year in the majority of homes and research data confirms that deposits of around 4.5mm can increase heating costs by as much as 30/35%.
It is hardly surprising that the Government has now prioritised turning hard water to soft water as a major consideration in household heating systems.
The view is that hard water is a major contributor to energy wastage.
Hard Water Treatment
Aquatec has come up with the perfect solution for hard water treatment. An Aquatec whole house water filter turns hard water to soft water and eradicates all the problems concerning hard water, filtering out the minerals that lead to scale build up along with 98% of all other impurities and is guaranteed to remove limescale.
Aquatec will provide you with a scientifically advanced hard water treatment process that is unique to the brand, with the technically engineered ability to purify your drinking, cooking and household water to degrees only dreamt of by your water supply company. By turning hard water to soft water we protect your health and home appliances.

Denver Broncos LB Joe Mays Suspended 1 Game for Hit to Schaub
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Denver Broncos linebacker Joe Mays will be suspended for one game and fined $50,000 by the NFL for his hit on Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub over the weekend.
Mays drew a roughing-the-passer penalty for his third-quarter hit on Schaub, who lost part of his earlobe when his helmet flew off in a 31-25 win Sunday.
As part of his suspension, Mays won't practice with the Broncos this week or be at the team's headquarters as they prepare for the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. He will be reinstated Monday.
Mays can appeal the suspension.
When asked after the game if he expected to be fined, Mays said: "Oh yeah. I'm expecting that. But it was not my intention to do that."
Mays is a fifth-year player from North Dakota State.

By Gary Greenberg, Head of Hermes Emerging Markets and Lead Portfolio Manager at Hermes Investment Management:
China: our short-term view
The Chinese markets have continued to fall today, but the offshore RMB rallied as the government intervened by withdrawing liquidity, causing short-term repo rates to spike. This, in turn, makes it very expensive to short the currency.
However, the stock market was left to its own devices, and duly gave up 5.3%. The problematic circuit breakers had been withdrawn, and any potential selling similar to previous interventions was put off to another day. Most interestingly, Premier Li Keqiang ruled out strong stimulus to boost demand. This supports the move to supply-side economics proposed by President Xi Jinping.
China: our longer-term perspective
Long term, most observers agree that fundamental reform – meaning increasing efficiency and productivity rather than mobilising yet more capital (mainly debt) – is essential for China's long-term future. China's growth model has to change, but the question is how to reverse the drivers of the economy: how can an economy in which investment is nearly 50% of GDP and consumption less than 40%, evolve to one in which consumption is over 60% of GDP and investment under 30%, in several years? This transition would be challenging for any leadership team. The jury is out as to whether the Chinese authorities will manage it without undergoing a major crisis.
This transition raises a tough challenge, but it is further complicated by the dominance of the domestic Chinese markets by retail investors with short time horizons and few fundamental tools with which to value stocks. These investors follow momentum, whether it be the momentum of economic policy, GDP growth, earnings, or share prices. Therefore, when the government hints at stimulus, regardless of whether or not stimulus will result in better long-term prospects for the country (and it is unlikely to, given its debt-to-GDP ratio is nearing 300%), retail investors plunge in. On the other hand, when reforms are put forward these investors sell, since reforms spell short-term pain as excess capacity is cut, companies make staff redundant and deleveraging occurs broadly.
In developed markets, and those emerging markets dominated by institutions (domestic or foreign), the dominant investor base is prepared, generally, to take short-term pain for long-term gain. In contrast, Chinese stock markets gyrate wildly at such a crossroad. Little has changed in the economic outlook for China in the past three months (it continues to slow gradually), but the mood has changed from euphoria to panic.
Is 2016 the year to build a position?
So, is it time to close your eyes and buy? Our view is that emerging markets have underperformed developed markets for the past five years because underlying companies have underperformed at the bottom line. Profitability has declined as global growth evaporated.
For emerging markets to outperform, profitability must first recover. This means profit margins need to rise, and for that to happen, wage hikes must continue to slow versus productivity improvements. This process is already underway but needs to become more evident. Second, the cycle must turn, as supply comes out not only of commodities but also basic goods like steel, aluminium, shipbuilding and other sectors. This process is just starting, and is unlikely to show meaningful results until next year.
We think it is fair to say that emerging markets are not yet discounting these positives. Unfortunately, they are not yet discounting all of the negatives either. At first glance, they appear very cheap. The emerging-market benchmark, at 1.2x, is now below the price-to-book valuation of 1.3x it reached in the financial crisis, and is approaching two standard deviations below its 10-year average of 1.9x. Two standard deviations would imply a further 10-15% drop. However, profitability in emerging markets is suffering, and thus the price-to-earnings ratio is less encouraging. Trading at 10.8x 2015 estimates, it is below the 10-year average of 11.7x but still less than one standard deviation below. And, looking at EV/EBITDA in order to consider the substantial increase in debt following 2008, emerging markets trade at 7.3x 2015 consensus expectations, in line with the 10-year average of 7.2x. A brighter outlook will probably require some combination of lower valuations, currency depreciation of 5%-10%, a change in the trend of US dollar strength, a bottoming of commodities markets, stabilisation of the RMB and local markets, and for corporate margins to improve. Our view, currently, is that the stabilisation of commodities and margins begins in 2016, becomes evident in 2017, and becomes a theme in 2018. Therefore, this year is the one in which to initiate a position in emerging markets, before building a strong overweight next year ahead of enjoying the ride in 2018.
Emerging markets: valuation in the context of debt is a key consideration
Source: Bloomberg
Periods of panic, such as now, are typically good times to look for stock ideas. While the valuation of the benchmark is not yet compelling on all measures, this type of market results in the mispricing of companies, which can provide real long-term opportunities.

Developer Homepage: http://www.4a-games.com//
Product Homepage: http://metro.thq.com/
Metro 2033 is an action-oriented video game with a combination of survival horror and first-person shooter elements. The game is based on the novel Metro 2033 by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. It was developed by 4A Games in Ukraine and released in March 2010 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360.[3] In March 2006, 4A Games announced a partnership with Glukhovsky to collaborate on the game.[4] The game was announced at the 2009 Games Convention in Leipzig;[5] a first trailer came along with the announcement.[6] A sequel was announced, currently titled Metro: Last Light.
Getting into the gaming side of things, we can see that across the board performance is pretty much in line with our other boards here. We do see a bit of a boost to our performance preset under 3DMark 11 when we overclock, but apart from that, not much change is really seen.

Golf fans rejoice, it's almost Ryder Cup time, and that gives Pocket-lint the ideal opportunity to review a suitable game for App of the day.
However, we could't find any, so we decided to look to the top of the iTunes charts to see what application was tickling the underbelly of the masses, and blow us down with a feather if it wasn't a golf game after all.
Of sorts...
- Format
- iPad 2, iPad (3rd generation)
- Price
- 69p
- Where
- iTunes
Some apps look good, some apps play good, some apps do both. Wonderputt is the complete package. With brilliant art directions and looks as well as Angry Birds levels of addiction, it is definitely an app we are fans off.
It does have it faults, namely that it's fairly short and if you aren't one for replaying things, then you could easily get bored. But in reality at 69p who's going to complain?
The app works fairly simply. For those who have played games like Fez, or ever looked at a drawing by Escher, you will get the picture. The game is essentially crazy golf, but viewed from afar. By crazy we mean no Tiger Woods, more aliens and cows.
The rest is very simple. Drag your finger back to putt and then hope for the best. At first it seems overly simplistic, but once you realise what's required to get the high scores, then skill comes into it.
Wonderputt started out as an online browser game, which had the whole Pocket-lint team super addicted. Seeing it translated to tablets is a nice twist. We should also point at that while it might seem short, once you've finished all 18 holes, there's a fill the rainbow mode that adds collectable items to the course, in order to build a lovely rainbow... aaah.
Definitely an app that will pass ten minutes on the Tube, but with enough skill depth to make play interesting in the long run.

A New York Times guest editorial titled Stop the Great Firewall of America says "China operates the world's most elaborate and opaque system of Internet censorship. But Congress... is considering misguided legislation that would strengthen China's Great Firewall and even bring major features of it to America." The culprit is the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act. Sounds good until you read that "The bills empower the attorney general to create a blacklist of sites to be blocked by Internet service providers, search engines, payment providers and advertising networks, all without a court hearing or a trial." Rather like the Department of Homeland Security's seizure of websites for copyright violations without the constitutionally-required court orders. If you're not an American citizen, why should you care? Read this Techdirt article telling how the U.S. seized a Spanish domain name that had already been declared legal by the Spanish courts.

If Dorman was looking for a kick start going into the season, it found it over the weekend.
If Dorman was looking for a kick start going into the season, it found it over the weekend.
The Cavaliers took home the championship at the Byrnes Invitational with a 2-1 win against defending SCISA 2A state champion Spartanburg Christian Academy.
Twelve teams competed in the tournament with Southside Christian and Chesnee winning the silver and bronze divisions, respectively. Dorman finished undefeated to claim the gold division.
Dorman will begin the season on Tuesday at St. Joseph's. Cavaliers coach Paula Kirkland said winning the preseason tournament is a positive way to enter the year.
"It's a good way to start things," she said. "We got the opportunity to see everybody on our squad play. Everybody contributed. We got to see our strengths and weaknesses. We're not as good as we can get, but it's a good start."
The Cavaliers dropped the first game against the Warriors before rallying to claim the final two. Kirkland said facing stiff competition was just what her team needed as it prepares to try to defend the Region II-4A title and make another run at state.
"(SCA is) very good," she said. "They were a strong team. I was very impressed with them. It was a big challenge. We lost a game to them, and I think that was good for us. We needed to see that we can lose. Once we did that, we came back and got it together."
Kirkland said the Cavaliers still need work on blocking, but she was impressed with the defensive effort. Tatum Metts, a junior defensive specialist, said the team gained confidence throughout the tournament.
"It was a confidence boost because we feel like this is a year that we can go to state and win it," she said. "Winning the tournament shows us that we can. We feel good. The team chemistry is awesome. We do have young players on the front row, but they will keep getting better and will only go up."
Kirkland said if she continues to see the type of effort displayed in the tournament that the Cavaliers will be a strong contender.
"There are no quitters on this team," she said. "I'm excited about what we can do."

" in the afterlife" ✉❤✉EVERYONE RECEIVES A MESSAGE!!✉❤✉ And learn how we do it! More info Psychic Mediumship Development class Lake Elsinore is a beginners psychic development group, this group is a beginner's guide to opening the door to higher consciousness and connection to spirit. We will be working together to receive messages and signs from the beyond. We will focus on balancing our chakra, and reconnecting our energy to the quantum field. We provide a safe and harmonious environment that will easily, and comfortably help you raise your vibration to connect with our deceased loved ones. So why learn with Tony. Because he is one of the World most Accurate Mediums of our time. See Video above
Come join us and learn to strengthen your undiscovered natural psychic abilities! Self healing is very important to our class, as we will have Reiki master onsite for energy healing as needed🙏 more info Check out our Third Eye Attunement Video Level 2. Our third eye attunement enables your clairvoyance to open up Rapidly and Accurately on the spot. So you can see between both spirit world and our world with you bare naked eyes open on the spot in front of you! Seeing and hearing interdimensionally.
Tony is the real deal! Enlighten Master that holds tremendous healing power! He does not have a shaved head or wear an orange robe. He has spirit inside of him that guide him. He delivers mind blowing mystical experiences. Some thru meditations others thru spiritual healings and still more thru Sacred Attunements.
Here is a Level 2 Clairvoyant Attunement given only to long term dicated students.
Come Learn about the different kinds of psychic abilities. Some psychics are strongest in one psychic area or they choose to focus on one at the expense of others.
Imagine you are using your "third eye" – the chakra (or energy field) that is located above your real eyes. Visualize this third eye opening and expanding. See what you notice in the mind's "inner screen." Try this with your eyes shut.
Clairvoyance means you are able to see spirit images. One aspect of clairvoyance is "remote viewing," which is the ability to see things that are not known by the common senses. Clairvoyants work through the aura to receive impressions from spirit communicators. For remote viewing, determine a remote location you want to sense. Shut your eyes, and think about the location. Shift your intention upward to your third eye. Note the first impression you have, and write it down.
Clairaudience means the ability to receive spirit impressions but in the forms of sounds. Words are transmitted through the aura into the medium's subconscious, as if the medium is a telephone. To practice clairaudience, repeat a word in your mind as you think it. This helps develop your inner voice. Clairsentience is the ability to sense the presence of a spirit, including its emotions and personality.
Here is a class video of Tony The Healing Medium removing some karma and karmic imprints from a student in his class. Tony does a Spiritual Healing!
Tony teaches you to receive information from the spirit world without using primitive methods, like taro, riddles, metaphors, etc… These methods are used by under-develop people to disguise their inaccuracies and undermine our community. Tony teaches what he calls spirit to spirit communion union. And he can teach it to you too. Here is a video of Tony The Healing Medium doing a spiritual reading.
How our classes work
Tony believes that your own personal karmic imprints (blocks, energy cords, karma, etc.) is what keeps you from your accurate psychic self. Through a series of healing and revealing session in class. Secrets will be reveal to you about your personal life. So you can heal what needs to be healed. Tony teaches that until you heal your own personal life first. You will never be a channel for others or spirit. So healing is priority in this class. Tony comes from a shamanic background. His grandmother was the village healer. Extractions, cleansing, purification, and bringing people back to balance is our goal while opening the third eye in tony class. This is a one of a kind class. There is no other like this!

The Importance of Being Psychic – Part 1:
Being psychic enables you to tap into your subconscious mind and the spirit realm. When you develop your psychic power(s) it allows you to access information directly from the universe. Practicing Buddhists and Hindus have known this since before the time of Christ and the scientific evidence is now far reaching and overwhelming.
According to ancient healing lore, we have a spiritual body that is ruled by 'Chakras' (meaning 'spinning wheel' in Sanskrit), which are spinning energy centers or vortices of the body that are located within us, and they largely control our mental and spiritual experience. Each Chakra is perceived as a spinning, vibrating wheel of light and each one is a different color. Put together, they create our aura.
At the School of Universal Core Healing, Tony The Healing Medium, master healer medium teaches you about the 7 main primary chakras in our energy system and reveals how to unleash your own psychic abilities by training you on opening your third eye chakra.
People with psychic abilities have their gifts for a reason. They're here on earth with unique purposes and missions to create changes, manifest blessings and help restore plus much more!!! Also, how each person receives psychic information can be very unique. In fact, psychic relates to the supernatural capabilities of the mind and actually meeting our deepest Self/Higher Self,/Own Soul IS a major step in our spiritual progress.
On a serious note, please do not attempt to awaken and develop your psychic abilities alone. Uncovering your own natural gifts by yourself is a dangerous path that can lead to various forms of psychic attack especially if you are attempting to help yourself and others. It is possible to have psychic powers and not know it and it is also highly possible that you may be struggling with some spirit issues and not know it. To learn more information please visit our website at tonythehealingmedium.com
Know this, if you are already experiencing psychic abilities alone, then we encourage you to come to the School of Universal Core Healing and learn how to manage your abilities, preferably by a trained psychic and healer medium such as Tony Gomez who is a trained psychic and teacher with well over 30 years of experience (he can be found directly at the Universal School of Core Healing). We all have the capability to develop our intuition and psychic abilities but better to explore and be guided by a trained master psychic healer medium in a safe environment particularly if you are not sure how to handle your own visions or how to deal with them.
Each and every human being has access to psychic abilities and spiritual gifts that can be developed. If you wish to develop yours contact us now at the School of Universal Core Healing at Tel: 714-222-8835 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Just imagine if everyone learned to develop their psychic abilities, what a much better place the world would be to live in!

Clarence Jordan was a Southern gentleman born deep in the farming fields of Talbot County, Ga. Now, if you have never heard of Talbot County, don�t sweat it. Not many people have, not in recent years, anyway. But if you haven�t heard of Clarence Jordan, that is your tremendous loss.
Growing up in the Deep South, Jordan was witness to bitter racism and acts of injustice against African-Americans that were as numerous as the Georgia cotton bolls. But Clarence, by God�s grace, refused to become a participant. He could not understand how anyone could hate a man simply �because of the color of skin God Almighty gave to him.�
What made the dissonance even more striking for Clarence was that many of the more zealous racists were prominent Christians. They were the very people with whom he attended church. But rather than blaming God and running away from religion because of the hard-heartedness of others, he boldly embraced faith.
After earning a degree in agriculture from the University of Georgia, he completed his doctoral studies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Then he returned to those same Georgia fields, those same racist communities, and those same friends and neighbors. And once there, he created a countercultural, redemptive community just outside the town of Americus, named Koinonia Farms.
Koinoniais the Greek word for �community.� And Jordan set out to create just that: A farming community where men and women, blacks and whites, rich and poor would live together under the parenthood of God, using love as a substitute for violence, and sharing their possessions with the poor.
This was no utopia, however. Clarence was hated for his beliefs of equality. His fields were sabotaged with salt. His fruit stands were fire bombed. His pecan trees were cut down. The local communities instituted an embargo against his crops. Gun shots were often fired into his home late at night from the street. But through it all, Clarence persevered.
One day a man showed up at Clarence�s house angry that he and the people on his farm wouldn�t fight back. Clarence answered, �You�ve got that wrong. We�ll fight.� And then he looked across the field where a mule was sticking his head out of the barn. Clarence said, �Suppose you walked by the barn and that old mule reached out and bit you in the seat of your britches? Would you bite him back?�
The man was appalled. �Of course I wouldn�t bite him back,� the man said. �I�d get a �two by four,� and hit him in the head!� Clarence, with his Southern-fried wisdom answered, �See, you would fight, but you wouldn�t use that old mule�s tactics, �cause you ain�t no mule. You wouldn�t bite or kick him because he would win. You would choose weapons that a mule can't compete with.�
Then Clarence delivered the clincher: �Yes sir, we will fight, but we will choose the weapons. We will fight with humility, grace, justice, and forgiveness. But we're not going to fight with the enemy�s weapons, because if we do, the enemy will whip us.�
Clarence Jordan died in 1969, still reviled by many of his neighbors, so much so that the local coroner wouldn�t even drive to the farm to pronounce the man deceased. But the man was anything but dead. His deeds and words live on. Jordan�s model of life has been followed by courageous Christian witnesses all around the world, and while he is not as well-known, it is not uncommon to hear his name spoken with the likes of Gandhi, King, and Teresa of Calcutta.
His most prominent work, �The Cotton Patch Gospel� is a masterpiece of New Testament interpretation, and Koinoniaeventually birthed the organization now known as Habitat for Humanity which has partnered with those in need to shelter more than three million people.
In the end, it appears that Clarence Jordan contended well. His life is a testimony to grace under fire and an example for all fighters to follow. Like him, let us choose our weapons carefully.

Kit Houses for the Ultimate DIYer
After spending the long weekend in a small cabin in Wisconsin, I'm beginning to reconsider my urban life. Or, at least, I'm reconsidering whether I'd like to someday have a small weekend home in a rural setting. I went in search of kit houses for inspiration and, like a good blogger, I'm sharing the information with you, dear reader. Start dreaming of your tiny vacation home now!
• Tumbleweed Tiny House Company — These houses have been on our radar since way back in 2005. Tumbleweed offers three kinds of structures: Box Bungalows (around 100 square feet), Houses to Go (from 65 to 170 square feet) and Cottages (from 250 to 800 square feet).

• Noble Home — I'm a sucker for an A-frame so of Noble Homes' 2 models, this one is my favorite. The A-frame design, which Noble simply calls their Small Home, is a standard 570 square foot house kit plan, with available sleeping loft. (Sigh! This is my absolute dream dwelling!) They also offer a Standard Home, which ranges from an 800 square foot 1-bedroom to a 1,280 square foot 3-bedroom.

After reviewing the HDD model, Ars now looks at the SSD variant of the MacBook Air. They conclude: "The USD 1300 question is whether the SSD is worth the extra cash. The answer seems to be no. I experienced only moderate gains in battery life and not very noticeable speed differences. The one major benefit of the SSD model is that it doesn't cause the same types of slowdowns as the HDD model during times of high disk activity, and that's certainly a huge plus. Speedy read times are great, too, but they are balanced out by pokey write times. Still, even if it's more usable, it's hard to justify the huge price difference for the SSD model."

RE: Typical
Apple's pricing on the SSD is actually right in line with the price of SSD options on competing notebooks. It's adds $1000 to the price of the Air, just as it adds $1000 to the price of a corresponding Sony subnotebook. And at Newegg, they're $1100-$1600 apiece.
The Air overall is surprisingly price-competitive for what it is. With or without the SSD, the Air is about $500 cheaper than a Sony TZ, while being thinner, having a faster processor, more RAM, and a bigger screen, at the cost of 1/3 of a pound of weight of worse battery life.

KODAK, Tenn. – Playing in the home of Minor League Baseball's Tennessee Smokies, the King University baseball team put on a Major League offensive display at the plate, exploding for four runs each in the first and fourth innings to spark a 15-5 win over Carson-Newman University. The Tornado hit .422 as a team in the offensive outburst and forced the Eagles to use ten different pitchers in the game.
King's Garrett Cook had one of the best offensive performances of his career, going 4-for-5 at the plate with a pair of long home runs to left field that broke the game open in the early innings. He scored two runs and knocked in another four, including one on a single through the left side in the seventh inning. He also had a bunt single and even reached via a nine-pitch walk in the second inning.
J.D. Wallace and Tyler Gaby also stood out in a game in which eight King (13-25-1) starters finished with at least one hit and seven drove in at least one run. Wallace's two-run fourth-inning bomb was one of his two hits on the day. He also finished with two runs batted in and a run scored. Gaby went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and four runs scored.
The Tornado wasted no time in jumping on Carson-Newman (17-20) starter Ryan Eberle, who was saddled with the loss after lasting just 0.2 innings and giving up four runs. Tyler Gaby rocketed the first pitch he saw from Eberle into the right center field gap for a booming double, then came in to score two pitches later on a Stephen Mullins double down the left field line.
After a flyout, King took a 2-0 lead on Hunter Smith's RBI single through the right side. Cook strode to the plate with two outs and hammered Eberle's 1-0 offering high above the left field fence, with the ball landing at the back of the wooden party deck located on the concourse.
Cook would get his second long ball of the evening as the exclamation point to King's four-run fourth inning. With three runs already in via a Tyler Raymond sacrifice fly and a two-run home run by J.D. Wallace, Cook launched his second bomb of the game on a 1-1 count that landed about 20 feet beyond his first home run. The solo shot cleared a windscreen behind the concourse and landed at the base of the hill beyond left field.
Raymond picked up his first win of the season behind a masterful pitching performance, throwing 6.1 innings and allowing three runs, which all came on a bases-clearing double in the fifth inning. He struck out three batters while walking two and exited with a 12-3 lead.
King was only shut out in one inning, scoring single runs in the second, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth innings to go along with the four-run outbursts in the first and fourth frames and a two-spot in the ninth. The Tornado reached the 15-run plateau for the second time this season and finished one hit shy of its first 20-hit performance since May 4, 2012.
King will return to action on Friday to begin a three-game weekend series in Conference Carolinas play against Erskine College. First pitch in Due West, S.C. is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.

Here we go again
I haven't built any RG kit yet (3 in teh closet waiting for time), still struggeling to find time to complete MG Hi-Nu gundam.
I wonder if RG Astray Red/blue frame will see the daylight.
Today I opened Robot damashii/robot spirits Nu gundam, who i bought as a companion unit to the RD Sazabi (don't really like Nu gundam that much).
I can't understand why RD's still have so much faults and missing or misplaced gimmicks. The proportions and articulation of the RD are very good, better then the MG 1.0 an don equal foot with the HCM Pro, but the quality and detail is far below the old 1/200 HCM Pro action figure.
I will do a comparison review soon.

Woah. Been years since I've posted here. But I've been checking in every so often and want to thank you guys for being so insightful on everything!
But my real reason for posting is cuz I have a question for you all. I'm going to China (most likely) in a few weeks and was just wondering, Are there any good stores in like the Shanghai or Beijing area where I can get decently priced model kits?

Well, it would seem the Real Grade Zeta can stand on it's own fairly well, going by this picture.
This is getting my hopes up on the kit. And it also looks really really good too. At the very least the proportions and details are as delicious as always.

Guys, I got a question for those who own MG Banshee (or MG Unicorn):
Recently, I decided to turn my Banshee into Unicorn-mode for the first time after being in Destroy-mode for so long since the first time I build it. Much to my surprise, after I transform it into Uni-mode, the feet become severely unstable. The kit can hardly stand on its own. One little push or shake and my Uni-mode Banshee is guaranteed to collapse. I may have overlooked this in some reviews, but is it common for a MG Banshee (in Uni-mode) to have loose feet or is it just mine? The feet are solid in Destroy-mode though.

And yeah, I am aware of the fakes and such they may have. Any way of telling the difference between a fake & real kit? The shipping prices and such are what deter me from buying many kits here in the states.

Orioles claim Burnett off waivers from Toronto
Baltimore, MD – The Baltimore Orioles have claimed pitcher Alex Burnett off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays.
Burnett spent the past three seasons with Minnesota and was claimed by the Blue Jays off waivers from the Twins late last month. Toronto placed him on waivers Wednesday.
The 25-year-old right-hander, who will join Baltimore's Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk, owns a career record of 8-11 with a 4.61 ERA in 174 games, all with Minnesota from 2010-12. He appeared in 67 games last season and was 4-4 with a 3.52 ERA.
Baltimore opened a roster spot by transferring infielder Wilson Betemit to the 60-day disabled list. He is recovering from a torn PCL in his right knee.

How To Become A Biotech Engineer in South Carolina
In order to qualify for Biotechnology jobs in South Carolina, you should compare all available technical schools in your target area, as well as consider taking some of your biotechnology research courses online. Check with each engineering school below for assistance with certificate program requirements, degree prerequisites, and class registration. You may request information from several different schools below, without making a commitment.
To prepare for Biotechnology careers in South Carolina, you need to complete a technical education in your specialty area, as well as consider taking part of your required courses online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? To earn a competitive salary, compare accredited engineering concentrations, and research technical certificate programs in your chosen field. Check with the biotechnology research department for course registration deadlines, and engineering program requirements.
Biotechnology uses the DNA of living organisms to bioengineer new products artificially. Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the related fields of biomedicine, pharmacology, and genetic engineering. Modern biotech methods are used to manufacture existing medicines more easily, in order to treat human diseases. Further, biotechnology has enabled emerging techniques like gene therapy.
Agricultural biotechnology, and crop science in general, includes plant cross-breeding techniques, trait selection, and genetic engineering in some cases. Biotech crops can make farming more profitable by increasing crop quality and may in some cases increasing crop yields. Researchers may use biotechnology processes to discover things that may not be possible by more conventional means. This includes introducing new or improved traits in plants and animal products. Biotech advances may also lead to more effective diagnostic tests, improved farm animal vaccines, and better antibiotics. Beyond major requirements within the biotechnology research department, you may consider Converse College crop science as a complementary elective.

SYDNEY FC superstar Alessandro Del Piero has announced a new venture - as boss of a motor racing team.
The Italian World Cup winner has teamed up with Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey to form Dempsey/Del Piero Racing.
The team has submitted an entry to compete in June's Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race and will field two cars in America's Le Mans Series (ALMS), which begins in March.
The US-based team will field three drivers in the 24-hour Le Mans race - Dempsey and veteran US racers Joe Foster and Michael Avenatti.
It remains unclear who will drive in the ALMS series.
Del Piero is not expected to drive in either.
The striker, who joined Sydney in September on a multi-million dollar deal, announced the news via Twitter on Tuesday morning (AEDT).
"I have had a passion for motorsport since I was a young boy growing up in Italy," Del Piero said in a statement.
"I am thrilled at the opportunity to team with Patrick.
"We expect to compete at a very high level and our central focus will be on winning world championships."
The motor racing team expects to announce further details, including its car livery, sponsorship and driver line-up for the US Le Mans series.

Eddie Chambers willing to fight Bermane Stiverne on March 9th
In the wake of Cristobal Arreola's withdrawal from the March 9th HBO show, Eddie Chambers (36-3, 18 KO's) has offered to step up to fight Bermane Stiverne (22-1-1, 20 KO's). Chambers has been in the gym and says he is ready to take Stiverne on.
Eddie Chambers said, "I am always in the gym. I was training anyway. It would be very easy for me to take the March 9th fight against Stiverne. I think this is a great opportunity, just too good to pass up."
"Eddie is a throwback, old-time fighter. He is always ready to go. As soon as he heard Arreola backed out of the fight Eddie called me to say he wanted to step in to fight Stiverne. We would be happy to make this fight." said Chambers promoter, Kathy Duva.

Unbelievable! When I read the front-page story of the March 26 edition of The Daily News I couldn�t believe what I was reading.
To the editor:
Unbelievable! When I read the front-page story of the March 26 edition of The Daily News I couldn�t believe what I was reading.
A couple was involved in a road-rage incident endangering the lives of another driver and his passengers. The events were videotaped by a brave passenger.
Equally unbelievable was the fact that the man�s wife handed a pistol to him, and he fired several shots at the victim�s vehicle. More disturbing than that, the couple had a toddler in the car with them.
What message does that send? Did they not realize the child was then in danger too?
All of us have, at one time or another, been frustrated by careless or aggressive drivers. How many of us shoot (at) them for their actions � thankfully, not many. We are intelligent enough to realize that it is best to let them go and have an accident somewhere else.
Let us all strive to be more courteous in our driving. Yes, we will make mistakes but if another driver is aggressive toward us, just make a �sorry, my fault� gesture and be on your way.
If that driver follows you looking for a fight, use your cell phone to call 911 or drive to the police station.
Please drive safely, everyone.

The PV does give some nice bits here and there but of course, the killing blow came from hearing FukuJun and Minorin (and also was that a Minorin song in the end?). Completely sold. This looks to be a much more entertaining IS without that dunderhead of a protagonist named Ichika.

This looks like it's going to be the first Sunrise produced TV series to rub me the wrong way in a long time. Not a fan of the character design, not a fan of Minoris acting and it just kind of comes off as generic and lightweight honestly. Extremely surprised it was Sunrise that picked up this license.

More info about the cast:
Honda Masazumi = Sawashiro Miyuki
Asama Tomo = Koshimizu Ami
Aoi Kimi = Saito Chiwa
Neito Mitotsudaira(?) = Inoue Marina
I was already happy with FukuJun as Toori (naked hentai main character) and Minorin as Horizon but with the addition of these seiyuus it just makes this more awesome even if 85~90% of the cast wasn't announced yet. The first arc was one of my favorite in LNs and I really can't wait for october.

After seeing the PV, it looks like that Masumi Ito is doing the insert song of this PV and the music under the pen name of Hikaru Nanase. And JAM Project is one of my favorite artists that they do the opening which was unconfirmed yet.

Now that I've had an even closer look at the trailers that have been posted my already limited interest in this is plummeting even faster and it mostly has to do with the fact that I absolutely loathe the character designs with a surprising amount of passion. It's like no effort was put into designing the facial composition so they just went with a generic empty space moe look. What do I mean by empty space? Well look at all of that space on the characters faces where it's just pure flat flesh coloured skin and there is no effort to add any sort of ridges or details to make them distinguishable from other empty space designs. The body designs are also pretty bland, especially the one heterochromatic (this seems to be a popular fetish in Japan or something) girl with the two perfectly symmetrical spheres that seem to be protruding out of her chest. And then there's this.....
I don't know how to describe it since it's more of a personal feeling and this will probably come off as a troll to some, but this guys face positively screams annoying character to me as much as a stationary picture can and I think he's the main too which is kind of a death sentence if it turns out to be the case.
It's a shame because the setting sounds interesting but the cast design leaves so much to be desired and probably says a lot about how interesting they will be to me as well. I just cannot see any way in which this cast doesn't end up being terrible and this ends up being Sunrise's first outright bomb of a TV show for me since Gundam Seed Destiny.
Probably going to watch the first episode, but I have pretty much zero expectation and fully expect to end up dropping it after the first end credits.
edit: Inspiring even less faith is that I learned that this is to be directed by Manabu Ono who was responsible for directing the universally panned Dragonaut: The Resonance. The rest of his resume inspires little confidence as well with the likes of A-Channel, Seikon No Qwaser, Mayoi Neko Overrun etc. rounding out his prior experience.

@Kaioshin Sama: I can understand the poor assessment of this series base on initial impression, but Manabu Onu I felt is only as strong as the original story given to him.
My main case for advocating for him is due to Saki, which is a brilliant gem for anyone who actually watched it. Probably one of the most badass series I've ever laid my eyes on in my history of watching anime/manga/light novel/game adaptations. There are so many epic moments that I shat bricks just thinking about. As, I've mentioned in an earlier post, sound effect and the music team seem to able to pull their own weight so I still think this would turn out swell. And guess what! Urahata's back with him on the series composition as well (whom has the amazing series Monster under his resume)!!

text: Earlier this fall, NACDL conducted a survey to assess the Association's value to the national defense community. More than 1,800 members and 1,400 non-members participated in the survey. The full analysis of the data obtained in the survey is still in progress, but one response is particularly gratifying. In a question designed to elicit perceptions of NACDL services and initiatives, the one attribute with which respondents most strongly agreed was that "NACDL promotes the proper and fair administration of criminal justice."1 Last month, NACDL's involvement in a number of policy projects put the exclamation point on that statement. During October 2011, NACDL tackled a broad range of criminal justice system issues in many venues across the country. Chicago NACDL engaged in a trifecta of activity in the Windy City. Tending to its core mission of providing training and support for the nation's criminal defense bar, NACDL held its Fall Seminar at the historic Drake Hotel, w
