Car News: 2012 La Auto Show
2013 Mazda CX-9 & 2014 CX-5: LA Auto Show
- Mazda unveils updated CX-9 and CX-5 at this year's LA Auto Show.
- CX-9 now features Mazda's KODO "soul of motion" style.
- CX-5 gets new optional 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine.
The 2013 Mazda CX-9 made its North American debut at the LA Auto Show. While the powertrain remains the same, with a 3.7-liter V6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, the interior and exterior get substantial upgrades.
Outside, the redesigned CX-9 gets Mazda's latest KODO "soul of motion" styling, similar to the new Mazda6 sedan. Inside, there's improved quality, comfort and technology.
The 2014 CX-5 gets fresh looks and a new optional engine: the SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter 4-cylinder. Available on both the Touring and Grand Touring trim levels, the 2.5-liter engine offers 19 percent more horsepower and 23 percent more torque over the CX-5's standard SKYACTIV-G 2-liter 4-cylinder. Topping out at 184 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque, the new 2.5-liter is the most powerful non-turbocharged engine in the compact crossover segment.
A front-wheel-drive CX-5 powered by the new 2.5-liter engine is rated at 25 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. When fitted with all-wheel drive, those numbers drop slightly to 24-mpg city and 30-mpg highway. The impressive figures on the 2014 CX-5 don't end there. The new CX-5 is also capable of going 430 miles per tank, and also towing up to 2,000 pounds.
The CX-5 also features one of the most spacious interiors in its class. With the rear seats folded on Sport trim models, there's 64.8 cu ft of rear cargo space. Step up to the Touring or Grand Touring trim levels and cargo space increases slightly to 65.4 cu ft. Up front, buyers will find state-of-the-art infotainment accessed through a 5.8-inch touchscreen display with optional navigation, Bluetooth and Pandora with HD Radio.
Safety-wise, the CX-5 offers up a new feature called Smart City Brake Support (SCBS). Using a front-mounted laser, SCBS scans for potential collisions. If the driver doesn't react in time, the system will apply the brakes automatically to limit collision damage. Additional standard safety equipment includes Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Roll Stability Control (RSC) and six airbags.
The 2013 Mazda CX-9 and 2014 CX-5 will enter showrooms in January 2013.
What it means to you: Mazda is eager to further its Zoom Zoom mentality by adding the 2.5-liter to the CX-5 and to draw in new buyers to the CX-9 full-size crossover.

Yes, I'm still alive....
It has been soooo long since I've last posted...life has just been - changing!!! I've got several things in the works...so I'm hoping to get things more settled this month! One obvious change is the look of this blog...it's a little bit chaotic but please hang in...I'm attempting to make some changes all by myself!!! Another big change is my DHB Designs website...which if you click on that little tab on the right, you will quickly find it is not there - changes in the works there as well so if you need my design services, please message me here or email me! LOTS of changes for 2012...good changes - changes I believe the Lord has been placing on my heart for some time now...guess I better quit fighting and just get on board with Him! Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to the Slugs & Bugs Webstore!
"There are three things Christian parents hunger for that Slugs & Bugs serves well," Goodgame (himself a father of three) observes. "We want an honest, healthy relationship with our kids, we want to have fun with them, and we want to shepherd them into a life of trusting Jesus. Because of the high quality of musicianship and song-craft on Slugs & Bugs CDs, parents can enjoy the music along with their kids instead of having to merely endure it. The songs are either joyful, silly, or deeply meaningful, and sometimes all three at the same time. As families listen to the songs together, the music helps facilitate fun, shared experiences and deep, meaningful conversations."

Now with Yunno's shapeshifting is perhapes a trait shared by his tribe, but it does appear to use magical energy, since he did use a magical circle to shift back to human form later in season one. I would just think his inital change to ferret at the start of season 1, is maybe forced power saving mode on low battery, like on labtops. Yunno's shapeshifting is a change of body structures while Lieze's was an illusion wasn't it.... btw I hate shapeshifting since it does not obey proper physics

I'm thinking in Hunter X Hunter terms now...
(For those who have not watched HxH, go here)
Transformation (Transmutation): Used to change the properties of nen (raw magic). This is how elemental spells are produced (Fate's Lightning and Signum's Fire). But also, as Keroko says, the raw magic has to be transformed to be used as fuel for spells (even for non-elemental Divine Buster). The AMF 'waves' disrupt the transformed raw magic.
- Transformation is required for all mages.
- Characters who excel in this category: Hayate, Fate, Signum, Reinforce II
- Maybe Erio. Not sure.
Emission: Used to discharge the accumulated and transformed magic (Divine Buster, Starlight Breaker, Plasma Smasher, and all those long range spells).
- Subaru is bad in this category, as an example, while Nanoha is an expert.
- Characters who excel in this category: Nanoha, Teana, Chrono
Manipulation: In HxH it is used to control people or non-living materials, but here in Nanoha-verse it would be used to control certain spells (Accel Shooter, Plasma Lancer, Variable Shoot and almost all of Teana's spells).
- Apparently Teana is an expert in this category.
- Characters who excel: Nanoha, Teana, Chrono
Reinforcement (Enhancement): Used to increase efficiency of objects or body. All defensive (Barrier, Field, and Shield types. See Nanoha A's Comics) and healing magics belong to this category, as well as Caro's enchantments, Vita's Hammer attacks (Raketenhammer, Gigantschlag), and Signum's Knight Armour (or Knight Spirit, a Field-type magic defense. See A's episode 2). Since Field is a type of magic defense, AMF is also part of this category.
- Characters who excel: Vita, Signum, Shamal, Caro, Yuuno, Arf, Zafira
- Not sure about Subaru, but I think she belongs to this category too.
Materialization (Conjuration): Used to create physical objects out of raw magic (Vita's Schwalbe fliegen). Materialization users in HxH can create items with special abilities imbued into them. For Barrier Jackets, these special abilities would be Barrier, and/or Shield magic defenses.
- Characters who excel: None, as the Intelligent and Armed Devices take care of the materialization process.
And the last category:
Specialization: Anything that doesnt belong to the other categories. Hayate's status effect spells come to mind.
- Character who excel: Hayate, Reinforce II, and specially Reinforce I (Ability to use all categories with 100% efficiency, anyone? )
Oh, I love HxH's Nen. And after writing this post, HxH's 'energy system' sure makes sense, even when applied to Nanoha-verse.
BTW, I have no clue what categories Subaru and Erio excel in. I would assume Erio eventually would be good with Lightning attacks, but there is not enough info right now.
I hope you enjoyed this comparison as much as me.

I'm really not sure why everyone keeps trying to marry magic with physics..
It's been said before, but if it followed physical laws, it wouldn't be magic.
The Lieze twins were using illusion/disguise magic, which was disrupted by Chrono's bind - I recall he said it is a specifc type of bind that causes the trapped target to return to their true form? Or breaks any enchantments they have on them?
So if the Lieze twins were using an active or passive spell, it was disrupted.
Yuuno however seems to have two seperate forms, both of which can be considered his 'true' forms. I guess switching from one to the other requires almost no magic, or perhaps that only works downwards, from human form to ferret form, since one is a low-magic-cost form.
Linker Cores might emit magical energy - any magic they emit inside an AMF is probably disrupted/dissolved as per the usual AMF effect, but the generator itself seems unaffected. So Linker Cores are not in any danger while inside an AMF, they just can't produce any focussed magical output..
I'm not really not comfortable with the idea of nanomachines for the BJ.
That just makes me have bad Mai-Otome flashbacks.
When the BJs form, the effect looks more like the magically constructed matter effect that someone else described.. pure, patterned magical energy of some sort instantly forms into what appears to be fabric. Nanomachines would have a visibly granular appearance to their formation (as in, say, Cutey Honey ), as trillions of molecular level machines moved into position.
Also, the protection of BJs is clearly more than their fabric - characters have exposed faces yet survive full beam and explosion exposure. BJs are not just worn armour, in the physical sense. They probably emit fields of their own.
The way the protect from 'crushing' damage is possibly similar to Yuuno's magical mattress from ep4 season1.

Way I read Kha's model though, the nanomachines are just there to aid magic-to-matter conversion and help form the material. It's not actually made out of nanomachines.
Mai Otome hardly invented nanomachines. You can't let one crappy anime taint one of the most abused concepts in sci-fi... wait... I guess that should be 'there are so many crappy narrative uses of nanomachines on record that Mai Otome's contribution hardly matters.'
Although since I like Eve's nanotech-shapeshifting power from Black Cat I guess I'm pretty guilty myself.

This is how I see it: Every living thing has a Linker Core, no matter if you're a mage or not (this was said in A's). The Linker Core is like your heart: If the energy emitted by the LC stops flowing, you will die. It is like your life force. This explains why Nanoha was very weak after Shamal drained most of her LC. If the AMF disrupts the flow of this energy, any living thing inside the Field would start losing stamina, then its consciousness, and eventually it would die.
But the fact that you have a Linker Core and have magical aptitudes (like Nanoha before she met Yuuno) does not mean you can cast spells. This is where Intelligent Devices come in: to help mages use that raw magic, or if we use our theory's terms, to help mages transform that raw magic so it would be usable for casting spells.
With this in mind, and the fact that Erio's and Caro's health or stamina were not affected while inside the AMF, we came with the theory that the AMF does not disrupt the flow of raw magic (that which is emitted from LCs) but instead disrupts the transformed raw magic used to cast spells. This is why we saw that Strada's enchantment was nullified, but nothing happened to Erio himself. This is why I believe that the AMF is actually a "Anti Magic-spell Field."
Also, what I tried to explain with use of Hunter X Hunter terminology is that the AMF is but an enchantment, a Field-type magic defense (as explained in A's to Strikers Comics), not some hax. Caro proved this by using the "Enchanter field invalid" (the word "Enchanter" in the spells name should be enough clue ) enchantment on Erio's weapon to counter the AMF. In other words, the AMF has to have its limits, or it would be completely unstoppable.
I hope that makes sense.

Hmm but if we consider the Linker Core as completly chaotic and random, a good model for this can be white noise again, which is just y(t)=A for -∞<t<∞, where A is constant, the amount if raw power a mage have.
Now, since under superposition again in AMF we can get r(t) = A +B*sin(wt-180), where AMF is modeled with B*sin(wt-180). We can see with this model then AMF will not effect the overall power of linker core at all, unlike in an organised spell A*sin(wt-180).
@BatAttack, Since in Nanoha they did say Magic is similar to math models used on Earth, I do belive there is proper physics/math model for all magic then.

Yes, mages don't need devices to cast spells, as shown by Yuuno and Lindy.
However, when you consider how a finely-tuned specialized I.D is so much better than regular Storage Devices, which are apparently easier than manual-non device magic, well...one can see why there aren't too many "non-devicers."
That's why I think the personal scientific calculator => regular calculator => mental arithmetics argument work best in terms of looking at how Devices help channel the magical energy as a medium.

Hence my comment about the linker core itself being unaffected, only emitted magical energy being defocussed.

Devices strengthen magic, they're not needed, but they strengthen.

In ep5, the revolver unit served as a power generator for her ranged attack. Notice, she spins it manually before casting the magic missile instead of using a cartridge. Cartridge use IMO have always been to augment an existing attack, that or as a means to sidestep complex incantation.

I'm inclined to think Raging Heart is helping her out there..
The 'Intelligent' part of the Device should be good for more than just speaking basic commands...
Without Raging Heart, I don't think young Nanoha would have been able to do a lot.
Now that she is older she would probably be able to get by.. but then, she is probably overly-reliant on her I.D. - I wonder if years of I.D. use have made her soft?
That's just my intuitive understanding of it.

Haha, yes, except keeping count.
I've seen it as unison device > intelligent device > storage device > no device but manifesting a diagram > pure willpower.
With pure willpower apparently the province of pretty much just Yuuno.
And the familiars, but I imagine they've got built-in abilities.

What's the difference? Yuuno and Lindy both fall under those categories, anyway.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is an epic action game for Xbox 360 set across a blend of present and historical time periods, that places the player in the role of the leader of a Renaissance-era guild of assassins out for vengeance against the remnants of the Knights Templar. Set primarily in Rome, this sequel to the critically acclaimed Assassin's Creed II features returning characters from the previous game and includes new features such as the ability to command members of your guild in combat, a new arsenal of weapons and multiplayer game support in which players can assume different assassin characters.
Super Gamer Dude

Question. Where do you start to describe a game as complex as this one with its many subplots and follow on plots from previous titles? Answer. You don't; time is too short to do so in anything but vague outline. The rise and fall of the city of Rome is the main story followed by Brotherhood. The game begins with the politically powerful and scheming Borgias, related to the pope of the time, having designs on expanding their influence in Rome and spreading it to other cities. Your job is to defend against this, but at first you fail in doing so, setting the scene for the game proper.
Then follows a set of varied scenaios ranging from multi combats to assassinations and sword-to-sword duelling. Enemies in this game are now more aggressive than in the previous titles, requiring you to be more prepared to lauch pre-emptive strikes. The game is not very different to any of the earlier titles and retains its focus on Ezio, the hero of the series, for the most part. The puzzles play a much smaller part and consequently there are fewer of them. It also adopts one of the most interesting multiplayer concepts around. Each six-player, 10-minute session has you in dual roles as an assassin and an assassin's target. Successful assassinations earn points; how
many points depends on your method. It's a game of hide and seek, implemented to perfection.
There are a couple of bugs but these are not deal breakers, and regardless of any shortcomings, Brotherhood's success comes from taking what made Asassins Creed 2 work and making it a less disjointed story and more cinematic in its look and feel. The makers' real aim seems to have been perfecting what is already good. There is not too much new here, but there are great improvements to what was there before. This is a superior game over its predecessors and very well worth investing in.

Impossible Lot Yields Imaginative Family Treehouse
Where there's a will (and a creative architect behind SHED Architecture and Design) — there's a Seattle dream home built on a practically inaccessible hillside lot. This 1,644 square-foot treehouse is a labor of love and a testament to the power of human determination.
Prentis Hale and Tracy Edmonds along with daughters Maisie and Pippa, live in a modern day fairytale. Except their glass slipper was an "impossible" lot, located 20 feet beyond the edge of a dead-end road and 20 feet below grade with no municipal hook-ups. Most people wouldn't have looked twice at this jagged piece of land, but for Hale and Edmonds the shoe fit.
After a decade, their dream home is finally a reality. The three level home has an open communal feel and is the perfect size for this family of four, who make sure to keep things relaxed and evolving. The decks are accessorized with hammocks and swings giving their home a playful spirit. As a added bonus their home nests above their favorite P-Patch community garden. "Last spring, Edmonds hauled beets from the P-Patch through a living-room window with a bucket and string, and she jokes about installing a zip line from the room directly to their section of the garden."
Even with a few unfinished projects on the backburner, Hale and Edmonds have built an amazing home. It's inspiring to see what a little drive and creativity can produce when you have the ability to see possibility in the "impossible."

Pardew tasked with Toon revival
Newcastle United have dismissed speculation over Alan Pardew's future as they seek long-term stability and an instant return to the top half of the Premier League.
Pardew, handed an eight-year-contract in September, had seen his position come under scrutiny as Newcastle were drawn into the relegation battle in the final weeks of the season.
He headed for talks with owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias on Wednesday over the direction of the club, but it appears the manager's future was not up for debate.
Instead, Pardew, who led Newcastle to a fifth-placed finish in the 2011-12 campaign, has been handed the task of returning the team back into the top half of the Premier League next season.
"Everyone connected with the club was disappointed to finish where we did last season, particularly on the back of such a fantastic year prior to that," Llambias said. "Our discussions on Wednesday were very constructive and we pinpointed a number of factors that contributed to a season which fell below expectations.
"We are now looking forward and are entirely focused on the forthcoming campaign, with the expectation of at least a top-ten finish in the Premier League. There has been a great deal of speculation in recent weeks but our desire, as we announced back in September, is to bring long-term stability to this club.
"It's up to us all now to work closely as a team to ensure next season sees us competing in the top half of the table again. We would all like to thank the fans for their continued support and assure them we remain committed to providing affordable football at St James' Park."

Now I know what everyone is complaining about. I've read quite a few complaints about the clogged nozzle on Aussie's Mega hairspray and have advised people to just clean it after each use. I was wrong. I guess Aussie finally got around to changing the formulation of my hairspray, Aussie Instant Freeze. This is the umpteenth time they have changed it, and I have to tell you, it's starting to get on my nerves. Whatever the new ingredient in this formulation is, it behaves just like glue. It's so sticky that my head is actually stuck to the pillow in the morning. If anyone dares to smell my hair, it will make sniffing glue a thing of the past.
Just sniff hairspray! But here's the thing. It doesn't hold any better, it's just stickier! I can only assume that Aussie is using a cheaper ingredient in an attempt to cut costs. However, I think they will be cutting customers in the process.
I've been using Aussie products for at least twenty five years and have suffered through all the changes. I honestly don't know why I am so loyal, as I feel completely betrayed. This last change may be the one that puts me over the edge. As others have said, the nozzle is constantly clogged. You have to press so hard for the hairspray to come out, that when it finally does the force sends your hair into another galaxy.
It's so difficult to use that I just don't think I can continue to buy this product any longer. I never thought I'd say this, but I wish Procter and Gamble would cut Aussie's R&D budget. They seem to have more money than they know what to do with. Either that or they have too much time on their hands. Why can't they just leave well enough alone?
I have been using Aussie hairspray for many years now and am finding I am getting very frustrated with their product. The last 3 large size hairspray bottles have plugged up on me after a few uses. Run under hot water after every use and does no good. This product is not the cheapest and I cannot afford to keep throwing them away half way through. I am also very frustrated that I cannot find an email or way to contact them other than phone. I don't have all day to stay on hold. They really need to evaluate this and come up with better contact services. I am done buying this product till I know it is resolved...
4 cans of hair spray I bought in the last year have had clogged hair spray nozzles and cannot be used. I also recently purchased a can of Mousse and when I pushed down on the dispenser it broke off the can and is unusable. I am wasting too much money. I like the product and that is why I have put up with these issues this long. I have been using Aussie products for many years and do like the results, but I can no longer afford to throw money away on faulty products. If it has happened to me this many times in 1 year, I can only imagine this happening to a lot of other people. I am not sure I will be a loyal patron to this company any longer.
SANDUSKY, OHIO -- I used to love Aussie products and they keep changing them over and over. Please where did the spritz pump bottle go? Now the instant freeze is in an aerosol, give me a break it's clogs constantly and now it's not working. I tried running it under hot water, pin in the hole to unclog - nothing works. I still have half of a can left. What a rip off!
I have used Aussie for years and for some reason the last couple of cans I have purchased have worked for almost a week and then the sprayer gets clogged and I can no longer use this product. This only happens in the large cans of Aussie Hairspray. This is costing me to much and I really enjoy this hairspray compared to others. I guess am going to have to start buying a new product.
CINCINNATI, OHIO -- I have used Aussie Flexible hairspray faithfully for at least 10 years and for some reason the last 5 cans have clogged up to the point they couldn't be used again after only a few uses! This is no longer affordable! I tried every remedy for clogged nozzles I could find and finally gave up! Can this be corrected?
301 EAST 6TH STREET, CINCINNATI, OHIO -- I, too, have used Aussie Mega Hair Spray for years and struggled with the nozzle clogging. After returning the product twice to the store, I was determined to get the 3rd can to work as I did not want to change hair spray. I replace the nozzle with one from another aerosol product (cleaning it thoroughly, of course). Tah Dah!! It works great, now.
I have had a similar experience with Aussie hairspray. I have been using it for years with no problem and the past three purchases have resulted in disappointment. The nozzle clogs and it cannot be cleared by running it under hot water as suggested. I just contacted them by emailing the address found on the can to voice my complaint. I am anxiously awaiting a response.

Twitter Is Upset About Drake's 'Wu-Tang Forever' Song Title
Drake sure knows how to anger Wu-Tang Stans. His latest Nothing Was The Same leak, "Wu-Tang Forever," samples a Wu-Tang Forever track, hence the title. But apparently, upon seeing Drake's album track list, some folks thought Drizzy would be spitting food puns a la Ghostface. Check out a few first impressions from irritated Twitter heads.

Modern ways you ask? I've never ever used SOAP but I've used Catalyst and it works beautifully! The OO design and the awesome MVC architecture and the command line create and tests scripts and not to miss the test server that you can convert to a full fledged Apache like web-server... thats awesomeness. Plus, the "getting started" guide for Catalyst is really detailed and you can start with it even if you have least idea about Perl.

text: There's Gold in them there connectors!Thu 23 Jun 2011 Shiny, attractive and expensive looking it may be but that's not the technical reason Gold is used for audio connectors. So why do audio companies go the extra expense of the shiny coating we see on the plugs of posh audio cables? First, lets dispel a myth: Gold is a good conductor isn't it? No! Gold does conduct electricity but not that well. Copper and Silver are far better electrical conductors and, despite the recent hikes in the cost of Copper, they're cheaper too. So now we have the myths out of the way why do audio manufacturers use Gold at all? Gold doesn't oxidise Anyone who's worn a Copper bracelet for a period will tell you that Copper, when exposed to air, starts to gain a green outer layer. This is because Copper reacts with Oxygen in the air to form Copper Oxide (that's the green stuff). While Copper is a great conductor, Copper Oxide isn't and the Copper Oxide layer adds electrical resistance (and other nasty sound degrading effects) to your signals. Clearly that's not good. Gold is used as a coating for the Copper parts to prevent them from oxidizing over time and thus maintaining signal quality and preventing your connectors turning green. Gold is soft To maintain a tight, low resistance connection audio (and other) electrical connectors operate what's called an "interference fit". That is the two parts are slightly too tight to fit together easily and thus, as they are pushed together, something has to give allowing them to stay together and permanently connect. In the case of audio connectors what gives is a small amount of the Gold coating allowing a nice tight fit and a good electrical connection. Larger surface area Because the electrical connection is formed by the interference fit mentioned above the surface gains small scratches consisting of peaks on one component and corresponding valleys on the other. The net result of these peaks and valleys is a larger surface area for the connection which has lower resistance and therefore higher signal transmission efficiency. It's shiny I know, we said that wasn't the reason but truth is the marketing chaps like the fact that Gold connectors are nice and shiny. Customers associate the shiny finish with good value and, over time, they've come to expect on their audio cables. So there you have it. Gold is used for good reason on audio connectors but maybe not for the reasons you thought!

CINCINNATI — Start with this: Two Phillies will see a team doctor Thursday morning in Philadelphia.
Welcome home.
Both Domonic Brown and John Lannan were injured in an 11-2 loss to the Reds on Wednesday. The extent of the injuries is unknown. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. downplayed them, as did the players, but they are not doctors.
The Phillies (6-9) are thin at both outfield and starting pitching. Any prolonged injury is problematic.
In the first inning, Brown was hurt on a dive that could have been prevented with a better route. The left fielder had a late start on a ball hit by Jay Bruce. His speed closed the gap and he made the play with the dive.
He will undergo an MRI on Thursday.
"Pretty much as soon as I dove I felt a pop," Brown said. "I didn't know where or how it happened. I felt some pain immediately. Once I took a couple of swings, I really felt it."
Brown indicated the pain was located in his lower back. He has never suffered a back injury before.
Lannan was hurt immediately Thursday. He "tweaked" his left knee when bunting during his last start in Miami. It's an injury Lannan said he dealt with in the past. (It actually happened in a game against the Phillies.) He said he has never missed a start because of it.
"I did everything in between starts to prepare for today," Lannan said. "It was feeling really good. I felt nothing warming up, then the third pitch to the first batter something tweaked. From then on, I really had no push off from my back side. The ball was up. I tried everything to get the ball down, but I couldn't really drive the ball down in the zone."
Lannan described the injury as above his knee and as "tendinitis." Will it cause him to miss a start this time?
"I don't know at this point," he said. "I hope not."

A vibrant city with its eye on the future
Doha is an ancient city in the midst of a modern renaissance as evidenced by stunning new buildings, resorts, shopping malls, and sporting venues emerging from the desert landscape like a futuristic oasis. And these aren't just your standard bricks and mortar—there is some serious architectural prowess on display, like the Museum of Islamic Art designed by noted architect IM Pei. Head inside to view priceless Islamic art that spans 1,400 years and three continents, not to mention Alain Ducasse's restaurant, IDAM.
After a glimpse into the past, make your way to the Souq Waqif, the renovated Arabic market quarter. Wander the maze-like corridors and shop for aromatic spices, colorful textiles, and gold jewelry. Be sure to also visit the falcon market, a symbol of prestige in this part of the world (in fact, falcons often travel with their owners in business class!).
If you've looking to unwind after the hustle and bustle of the market, make way for the Al-Corniche, the long seaside promenade that curves around Doha Bay. From here you can catch breathtaking views of the man-made Palm Tree Island and the city's skyscrapers.

I recently got back from a Louisiana turkey hunt with Synergy Outdoors, the umbrella company of Evolved Harvest, Barnett Crossbows, Flextone Game Calls, Wildgame Innovations, and Wildgame Nation TV. It was a very good hunt as these things go, partly because of the generosity of the hosts and the cooperation of the birds, but mostly because the company reps showed me some honest-to-goodness innovative and useful new products that I can pass along to you without feeling like I'm shilling as payback-which they know I won't do.
Anyway, we'll save that for another blog.
For now, I'd rather talk about hunting with a guide, which is commonplace on industry hunts. There's no question that I would much rather kill a critter on my own--especially a turkey; if I don't call the bird in myself, I don't feel like I earned it. That's why if anyone asks me if I killed a bird in Louisiana, I say no, but my guide, "Mike Miller the Turkey Killer," shown here with his camouflage bible and the bird in question, certainly did, even though I fired the shot.
But I will say that Mike embodies the upside of hunting with a guide (or in his case an expert who came to help out at camp). I fancy myself a pretty decent turkey hunter, but this guy is in another league. I learned a lot from hunting with him. For the record, I hunted for years and years before ever going with a guide; guided hunts account for a tiny percentage of the hunting I now do, I still have never paid to hunt with a guide, and I totally get the sentiment that doing so is not as fulfilling or legit. But it must be said that you can almost always learn something by seeing how someone else hunts, especially someone who does it every day and really knows his stuff, like Mike.
Real hunters love to pooh-pooh guided hunts; I've done it-and still do in my weaker moments. But having seen both sides, the truth is that while being guided is not the same as doing it yourself, it can absolutely be valuable and worthwhile.

N.C. A&T names Bustle offensive coordinator
Greensboro, NC – North Carolina A&T football coach Rod Broadway announced the hiring of former Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Rickey Bustle as the Aggies' offensive coordinator on Tuesday.
Bustle has 33 years of coaching experience, including nine seasons (2002-2010) leading Louisiana-Lafayette, where he led the Rajin' Cajuns to the 2005 Sun Belt championship.
"Coach Bustle will bring a fresh new perspective and outlook to our offense," Broadway said. "He brings new blood, new life, if you will, to our program. I wanted to bring in somebody who was going to continually work to make us better. Coach Bustle has the vision to make us a better team offensively, and that will hopefully translate into us being a better football team as a whole."
Bustle also spent 14 seasons (1987-93, 1995-2001) at Virginia Tech and was the offensive coordinator when the Hokies reached the BCS national championship game against Florida State in 2000.
Bustle spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach at Southern Mississippi (2012, running backs coach) and Tulane (2011, quarterbacks coach).
North Carolina A&T finished with a 7-4 record, including 5-3 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, last season - Broadway's second with the Aggies.

Animal Planet Presents: Cutest. Kittens. Ever.
Stop what you're doing and look at 29 pictures of kittens.
Kittens? On the Internet? Who in their right mind would ever waste time browsing through photos of cats just for the heck of it ... asked no one in many, many years. The folks at Animal Planet have been hard at work selecting the cutest kittens featured on previous episodes of "Too Cute" to be in a very special episode, "Cutest Kittens Ever" (airing Saturday, 9/7 at 9 PM). The show has an interactive component as well. The network diverts viewers to its "L!VE Kitten Cam" of adoptable kittens. As in: Hint, hint, viewers. Meow. — Caroline Kepnes, Yahoo! TV

think you've got it. It's just saying "Ag. will not come upon the old man, for he is not tarrying in the Achaeans' army", which does make sense on its own -- I don't think you should put too much effort into trying to understand the exercises there as a continuous narrative.
the thing is thar aetc says the same thing in the iliad v 26 μη σε etc οu κικηω. let me not come upon you; perseus gives let me not find you. is he telling the priest to leave? "let you not stay on my sight, doddering man"?
The mi-verbs are going to cause problems no matter what and there's a lot of memorization involved (at least there was for me). I'm not sure any book can teach them in a way that doesn't get under your skin
tis nice to now that the hienai thing do exist. they are causing me trouble already not so much because i have to memorize them - they were not introduced yet - nor the verb hiemi were for that matter -, but because they are being used in their particular forms without caveats when i first saw aphiei i thought by analogy that it was a present later i checked the hidden grammar section concerning the topic. what i am saying is that there are things being expected to know without any reference - "i shall not teach nor point out the proper section, but you must know, puer improbe!", thing which displeases me greatly. im feeling in the middle of a gnostic initiative rite

DETROIT -- Audi used its Monday news conference at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show to reveal to the world its most powerful car. And it has four doors.
The company showed off the all-new RS7 four-door coupe. Based on the striking A7, this hyper-fast version grabs its 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 from the S8 sedan. Horsepower jumps to 560, torque is 516 and power flows to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Audi says the RS7 sheds about 55 pounds versus the S7. It will do 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 190 miles per hour.
PHOTOS: Highlights of the Detroit Auto Show
The RS7 is only the third Audi to wear the RS badge in the U.S. It's preceded by the TT RS and the RS5 Cabriolet (which also had its U.S. debut at this Detroit show) and the RS5 Coupe. The RS line is analogous to BMW's M line or Mercedes-Benz's AMG division. Thus, the RS7 will target the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 and the BMW M6 Gran Coupe when it goes on sale in Fall 2013.
The 560 horsepower output of the RS7 means it ties Audi's $200,000 R8 V10 GT for the most powerful model in the U.S. to wear the four rings. Buyers in Europe are also privy to the RS6 Avant, a station wagon with the same drivetrain and output as this RS7.
Like that RS6 Avant, the RS7 gets performance goodies like an adaptive air suspension, torque vectoring, an optional sport differential and sport suspension. These upgrades will be wrapped in a shell that is notable only for its subdued nature. Exterior changes include 20 or 21-inch wheels, a revised front bumper and grille, a new rear bumper, and a pair of oversized exhaust tips.
Audi was mum on the RS7's price, but we wouldn't be surprised if it can see, if not touch, the $100,000 mark.
Audi also used the Detroit press conference to officially unveil a trio of other speed-oriented models.
The first was Audi's R8 supercar. Available in three variants for 2014, all models get a new seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission in place of a much-maligned six-speed automatic. A six-speed manual transmission is still available on all three. The base R8 maintains its 430-horsepower V-8, while the R8 V10 keeps its 525-horsepower V-10.
FULL COVERAGE: 2013 Detroit Auto Show
Both of these models will be available as either a coupe or a Spyder.
At the top of the R8 range will be the new R8 V10 Plus. This car, available as a coupe only, will wring 550 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque from the 5.2-liter V-10 engine. Audi says it also sheds about 100 pounds by using carbon fiber for several body panels, swapping in a small fuel tank, and adding ceramic brakes. The company says this model will be the quickest to 60 that it offers; such acceleration comes in a scant 3.3 seconds.
Also shown in Detroit is Audi's RS5 Cabriolet. The powertrain remains the same as the coupe version already available: a naturally aspirated V-8 making 450 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. The car routs this power to all four wheels via a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission.
Audi says the car will do 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, a decent time until you consider this is a car with 450 horsepower and all-wheel drive. That time is also almost half a second slower than the coupe's 4.5 seconds. This penalty is likely the result of the 411 pounds the Cabriolet gains over the coupe from added structural reinforcements and the roof mechanism.
Finally, Audi also showed off the awkwardly named SQ5. Based on the Q5 five-passenger crossover SUV, the S version takes a 3-liter V-6 and supercharges it for a total of 354 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. The SQ5 will have an eight-speed automatic transmission pushing power to all four wheels via Audi's quattro system.
This Audi will scoot from 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, the company says. Performance gear like torque-vectoring, paddle shifters, and a lowered, sport-tuned suspension help to up the fun quotient. 20-inch wheels will be standard, while 21-inch versions will be optional.
Audi says the SQ5 will join its Q5 brethren on the sales lot in summer 2013.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - December 29, 2012 --A regional jet has skidded into a snow bank at an upstate New York airport and become stuck, temporarily stranding passengers.
A spokesman for the Albany County Airport Authority says no injuries have been reported.
The United Airlines flight was leaving the gate in Albany en route to Chicago on Saturday when it slid off a paved roadway. It had been snowing lightly all day.
The 65 passengers and crew members were put on a bus and sent back to the airport.
Airport authority spokesman Doug Myers says the accident didn't cause any other airport delays. The plane was removed from the snow bank and will be inspected for any problems.
Myers says the airline will determine what happened with the jet.
United hasn't returned an email seeking comment.

Smith spent her early years in Alaska. When she was in sixth grade, her family moved to Seattle. She's spent the last 12 years in Portland. But images from her Alaskan childhood still fill her stories and dreams.
"Glaciers" follows Isabel through a day in her life in which work with damaged books in the basement of a library, unrequited love for the former soldier who fixes her computer, and dreams of the perfect vintage dress, move over a backdrop of deteriorating urban architecture and the imminent loss of the glaciers she knew as a young girl in Alaska.
This program is sponsored by Literary Arts of Portland, Oregon. Their mission is to engage readers, support writers and inspire the next generation with great literature.

How do you say thank you when the words "thank you" are not enough?
Thursday, my wife and I attended the En Banc Hearing of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board in Springfield to hear firsthand the decision for whether or not Curtis Brownell would be granted parole.
Every time my family goes through this it opens the pain and the heartache of losing my sister. 14 members of the Prisoner Review Board unanimously voted to deny parole for Curtis Brownell and unanimously voted to set the date five years out to where Curtis Brownell could be reviewed for parole again.
Because of laws at the time, he was sentenced under what is called "indeterminate sentencing." That means, despite his sentence, he can come up for parole periodically. The law said this could happen anywhere from one to three years.
Three years ago, this so impacted Boone County State's Attorney Michelle Courier that she took action. She recalled a bill in Illinois that allowed this time limit to be extended to five years. It came back to the voting floor and was passed into law. This is the first time my family will not have to relive the horror for five years, instead of only one, two or three years like we have in the past.
Good things can come out of bad situations. This extension is one of them. Another is all of the good people that stood with us. There were 4,063 people that could not be there in person but were with us by way of their signatures. This support impacts the board, proving that the community doesn't want a convicted felon in their midst.
It also touches my family and me to know that people really care.
We would like to thank businesses, families and friends for their support: Austin Mechanical Services, Doc's Diner, Pet Center, Butitta Brothers, Pinnons, Dean Foods, Northern Illinois Blood Bank, Salon Bella, soldiers stationed at Fort Bragg, NC., and "A Change is in the Air with Nicole Smith" radio show. This list is not exclusive, and I apologize for any businesses that I have not mentioned.
There were many who took the petitions to their workplaces, neighborhoods and bowling leagues — countless friends and families that have always been there.
Winnebago and Boone counties have two champions for justice. They are Joe Bruscato, Winnebago County state's attorney, and Michelle Courier, Boone County state's attorney. Their due diligence and support have not only comforted my family and myself but represent their respective constituents admirably. Their efforts and the efforts of their staffs brought a presence noted by the board, to which we are most grateful.
Evil is very present in this world, and it wins when people don't stand up to be heard. Good people have stood up and spoken, and we won because of their voices. I would ask that everyone please continue to do good by standing up and supporting the other families that continually have to go through this same painful process. The Hogan family needs your support now. You can go online at http://e-rockford.com/petitions/ParolePetitions/Madison/.
A special thanks also to Kelsie Passolt of WREX, Lauren Kravets of WIFR and Kevin Haas of the Rockford Register Star. They reached the people we could not. We thank the Lord God Almighty!
Even though they are just two words, know our "thank you" is from our hearts. Thank you!
How do you say thank you when the words "thank you" are not enough? Thank you seems like such a simple phrase compared to all that you have done. Thank you.
Sincerely, Gary and Barbara Betts and family
I would like to extend my utmost gratitude for the support, compassion and hard work from everybody that helped. Sincerely, Earl Betts (Longview, Texas)

Surgery on a stopped heart is very common, in fact most by pass surgeries are done this way..
Some heart procedures can only be performed on a motionless heart, but there are times when that's not possible.
Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Greg England explains, "In a small subset of patients, some older patients that have maybe some underlying mild neurological maybe some early dementia kind of things like that, they've got a diseased aorta a lot of times, maybe we can do the operation a little quicker. This way we don't have to manipulate the aorta."
During beating heart surgery doctors use a special device to stabilize the part of the heart on which they are operating.
The heart continues to beat and circulate blood to heart muscle during the operation.
Dr. England says, "We put snares around the vessels to occlude them temporarily to minimize bleeding and make the hole in it and hook the graft up like we always do but the heart is still bleeding. Put a shunt in so there's still flow through the vessel -- it's diminished somewhat, and it only takes about 10 minutes to do."
Surgery on a beating-heart can help reduce the risk for complications associated with temporarily stopping the heart.
As Dr. England says, it's just one more tool available to doctors.
"It's been in development throughout the United States for 10 plus years. We've been doing it increasingly here over the last few years, but in more significant numbers over the past couple of years."
Right now, local surgeons only use beating heart surgery for by pass patients, but the uses could be expanded in the future.
