Welcome to The Coliseum, where the parking lots are jammed pack, the tailgating smoke is in the air Richard Seymour is signing autographs by the tunnel and everyone has their Raiders gear on.
Well, everyone but defensive tackle William Joseph. He just got cut to make roster room for newcomer Richard Seymour — for the second time in eight days.
Not much pregame news to report, other than Jeff Garcia landing back in Philly as a backup. Here are the Oakland's inactives for tonight's season opener against the Chargers:
Running back Justin Fargas (hamstring), wide receiver Javon Walker, kick returner Nick Miller (shin), rookie tight end Brandon Myers, offensive tackle Khalif Barnes (ankle), wide receiver Chaz Schilens (foot) and offensive guard Paul McQuistan. Charlie Frye is the emergency quarterback.
No Miller means Louis Rankin will return kickoffs in his NFL debut (he was inactive during his three games on last year's 53-man roster).
No Fargas means Michael Bush will be the reliever for starting running back Darren McFadden.
And it is really, really weird seeing the Raiders wearing white jerseys at home. It's part of the AFL throwback special on MNF. Can't remember which game Kiffin made them wear white at home in 2007, but I remember they looked bad losing.

Connection manager not properly installed
This message indicates that SSIS Designer has encountered an error involving Registry permissions while enumerating the connection managers installed on the computer.
Possible Causes
This message might appear because of one of the following problems:
There is at least one Registry key in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID section of the Registry for which the current account does not have Read permissions.
Do not reinstall SQL Server or other components
This error is not related to the installation of SQL Server or its components and cannot be resolved by uninstalling or reinstalling them. You must fix the root cause as described in the following section.
Fix the problem with permissions in the Registry
Integration Services relies on the COM API function EnumClassesOfCategories to enumerate connection managers that are installed on the computer. This function fails with an error if it encounters a class in the Registry whose keys the current account does not have permission to read. The solution is to locate the keys that are causing the problem and to grant at least Read permissions to the Users group on those keys. Microsoft Knowledge Base article 913817 provides C# code that you can compile and run to locate the keys that are causing the problem, and explains the steps that you can follow to fix the keys.

I've been celebrating Buy Nothing Day for years. This year, I'm even more encouraged to celebrate, because Buy Nothing Day falls on November 25th, my birthday. Buy Nothing Day was originally launched by the folks at Adbusters, and it's pretty simple to participate. Buy Nothing Day encourages people to skip the Black Friday madness and choose other, better alternative activities instead.
Below is the awesome Buy Nothing Day video – it was made back in 2005, but it's still relevant. By the way, when it first appeared, many media networks like MTV and ABC banned this commercial, deeming it too hard-core for American consumers. Lame.
Most people know about Black Friday. It happens every year, the Friday after Thanksgiving. Stores hold massive sales and people head out in droves to shop. There are some huge issues with a holiday that celebrates massive consumerism though, such as…
- Black Friday is a huge time waster. You could spend the day with your family instead of spending it in a stressful, crowded store check-out line. It's a holiday weekend for pete's sake, don't you have better stuff to do?
- Black Friday encourages the gigantic "Buy more, buy bigger" mindset that's already in place in this country.
- Black Friday is not eco-friendly, because it's a day focused on buying as much stuff as possible – not healthy for people or the earth. Plus, most retailers who participate in the Black Friday shenanigans don't carry safe, green, non-toxic products, and because it occurs all on one day, you don't have time to research before you buy.
- Black Friday sets a terrible example for your kids. Kids are bombarded with consumer issues every single day. The last thing kids need is a holiday telling them how cool it is to buy, buy, buy.
- Black Friday doesn't help you make smart consumer choices because it happens so quickly. There's no time to think through purchases. You have to buy right now.
- Black Friday make people do incredibly greedy, money-minded and lame things.
- Black Friday is not peaceful. No argument on earth will convince me that consumerism, mixed with long lines, mixed with stress, mixed with fighting over products and other nonsense connected with Black Friday is a healthy way to live. A peaceful living mindset is tied intrinsically to eco-living. When you buy less, live healthier and make positive choices, a certain sense of calm begins to take over your life , which can lead to a greener lifestyle as well. Less clutter, less competition, more peace, and more green.
People who are healthy and happy, and not stressed over stuff can stay more balanced and have more time to figure out how to invest in a greener world. You don't have to shop, shop, shop on November 25th. You could make a statement by not shopping at all.
Instead of shopping, use Black Friday as a day to go on a hike, play board games, hold a gathering for friends you missed over Thanksgiving, or whatever you like. If you REALLY must participate, consider a buy something responsible day instead.

French Wine
Wisconsin Foodie meets with Lake Park Bistro's manager (and frenchman) Dider Ibar to discuss french wine.
Cinematographer: Arthur Ircink & Mark Escribano
Editor: Arthur Ircink
Host: Jessica Bell
Starring: Didier
Lake Park Bistro
3133 East Newberry Blvd.
Milwaukee, WI 53211
Phone: 414.962.6300
French wine is produced in several regions throughout France, in quantities between 50 and 60 million hectolitres per year (7-8 billion bottles). France has the world's largest wine production ahead of Italy and the second-largest total vineyard area (behind Spain). French wine exports make up 34.01% of the world market share, ahead of Italian (18.03%) Australian (10.24%) and Spanish (9.18%) wine.
France is the source of many grape varieties (such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah) that are now planted throughout the world, as well as several wine-making practices and styles of wine that are copied and imitated in other producing countries. Although some producers have benefited in recent years from rising prices and increased demand for some of the prestige wines from Burgundy and Bordeaux, the French wine industry as a whole has been influenced by a decline in domestic consumption as well as growing competition from both the New World and other European countries.

ABC commentator Warren Ryan resigns after being stood down for alleged racist remarks
Rugby league commentator Warren Ryan has resigned from the ABC after being stood down pending an investigation into allegations he made racist remarks on air.
Ryan and colleague David Morrow were suspended last month after a reference made on air by Ryan during the broadcast of a match between the Sydney Roosters and Canterbury Bulldogs.
The ABC asked both men to submit a formal response as part of its investigation.
Ryan, 73, told Fairfax he had written a letter of resignation outlining the reasons for quitting.
However, a spokesman for the ABC said it was yet to receive the letter and was not making any further comment.
The former premiership-winning coach and first grade rugby league player said he would not be apologising for the remark.
"The ABC has suspended me pending an investigation, so I have resigned to save them the trouble of conducting it," he told Fairfax.
"As for the injustice done to David Morrow in standing him down, he wasn't even listening when I was comparing a blow-up on the field between the ref and a player to a scene in the film Gone With The Wind.
"David was busy retrieving other sports results from his smartphone. He only rejoined the commentary as I finished describing the humorous movie scene.
"The word used to describe the character was a direct quote from the film. There was no offence intended, so I won't be apologising. It would be insincere.
"Furthermore, there is no appeasing those who are determined to be offended. So that's it. I've had a long run and, for the most part, it's been very enjoyable. In effect, I've brought forward my intended end-of-season retirement date."
But chairwoman of the Australian Rugby League Indigenous Council, Linda Burney, says Ryan's decision not to apologise is unacceptable.
"He does not understand ... the insult he has caused," she said.
"The day has passed when you can get away with saying, 'oh, I didn't mean any offence so therefore I don't have to apologise' ... It's completely unacceptable."
Morrow, who has called rugby league for the ABC since 1980, is being investigated for his role in the incident.
He was suspended last year for a racist joke for which he later apologised and said he was very embarrassed about.

The earth has a core of solid iron and other heavy materials, surrounded by a liquid iron outer core. The core rotates inside the planet and creates a strong magnetic field. Outside the core is the mantle, a thick layer of molten rock called magma. Floating on the mantle is the crust, a thin layer of rocks.
The earth's crust is broken into "tectonic plates" which move around. When plates collide, they crumple up and form mountains, like the Himalayas. When the plates spread apart, magma oozes up from the mantle and hardens into new rocks. Earthquakes are caused when the edges of plates grind together, and volcanos are often found where two plates meet.
Because the plates are constantly moving around, melting, and reforming, earth's surface is said to be "geologically active". That's why the earth doesn't have very many craters compared to the moon and most other objects in the solar system. Earth does have some craters though. One of the most famous is the Barringer meteor crater in Arizona. This crater is almost a mile across and was made by a nickel-iron meteor about 150 feet across. The impact released the same amount of energy as exploding 20,000,000 tons of dynamite!
From the surface, the earth seems like a pretty big place, but in reality, it's a tiny speck. Here is a picture of the earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 probe in 1990 from a distance of 3.7 billion (3,700,000,000) miles. The earth is the tiny dot. The streaks across the image are scattered light from pointing the camera so close to the sun. Click the picture to read a quote about it.

The perception of reality by biosystems is based on different, and in certain respects more effective principles than those utilised by the more formal procedures of science. As a result, what appears as random pattern to the scientific method can be meaningful pattern to a living organism. The existence of this complementary perception of reality makes possible in principle effective use by organisms of the direct interconnections between spatially separated objects shown to exist in the work of J.S. Bell.
On the other hand, it is certainly true that all current neurobiological descriptions of the brain are based on Newton's Physics, even if it is well known that Newton's Physics has its limitations. First of all, Newton's Physics is an offshoot of Descartes division of the universe in matter and spirit, and it deals only with matter. Secondly, neurobiologists assume that the brain and its parts behave like classical objects, and that quantum effects are negligible, even while the "objects" they are studying get smaller and smaller. What neurobiologists are doing when they study the microstructure of the brain from a Newtonian perspective is equivalent to organizing a trip to the Moon on the basis of Aristotle's Physics, neglecting Newton's theory of gravitation.
"The state of the universe is an objective compendium of subjective knowings". This statement describes the fact that the state of the universe is represented by a wave function which is a compendium of all the wave functions that each of us can cause to collapse with her or his observations.

Try taking any metallic object (one example would be a screw driver) and place it one centimeter, just above the bridge of nose in relation to the forehead. The sensation that you experience, is one that you need to replicate in meditation, without any tools. From there I feel that each of us are a part of an infinite puzzle, so your thoughts are relevant to get past the veil.
Any thoughts?
Using this as my basis I'd like you to reflect on a ball being thrown at you. In any one moment the ball is only occupying one space in our visual perception. Your intuition however has mastered the art of reading that wave of possibility including all the associated effects. Whether your consciously able to do the calculations or not, you intuitively know that at this many seconds in the future the ball while smack you dead in the face. So in the succession of moments between the ball being a distance away and hitting you in the face your consciousness has the time to affect the current probability to bring about another possibility. In this case, like a great symphonic conductor you orchestrate the waves of your body to move out of the calculated trajectory. Some with great musical mastery (athletes) and some loosely and less accurately (The clumsy ones). This is our talent of interpreting past and future and reacting to it.
Mossbridge's analysis of the data puts the odds of her findings being the result of chance or coincidence at 400 billion to one.
"The cause of this anticipatory activity, which undoubtedly lies within the realm of natural physical processes (as opposed to supernatural or paranormal ones), remains to be determined."
In reality it's probably not that amazing... all our brains emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of brain waves, it's extremely possible our brains have an inductive mechanism capable of reading such waves.

while watching (yawn) some test searches with my engine, I noticed something interesting. The engine sometimes will oscillate between what it thinks are best moves between plys. Sometimes the moves are the correct moves, sometimes not, but going to the next ply, the program will first play the best move from the last ply (standard stuff). But it did think those other moves from previous plys, which aren't the best choice now, were good at some point, so perhaps they might be good again.
So my idea is to somehow incorporate those previously "plied" moves into the move ordering perhaps after the TT (previous best move), but before using the normal move ordering selection (usually good captures).
The idea is:
1. it actually might be the best move, but it might sort low
2. might be bad for a reason and should cause a cutoff sooner.
3. (other reasons TBD).
has anyone tried this and if so, has it merit, and does it have a name?

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) - Matt Treanor made quite the first impression on the Kansas City Royals.
The Royals acquired Treanor from the Texas Rangers for cash on Monday and he caught a three-hit shutout in a 10-0 victory over a Milwaukee Brewers split-squad.
``I'm very, very impressed,' Royals manager Ned Yost said. ``He's caught all of our guys like he's been catching them his whole life. It's a great deal for us.'
Kyle Davies gave up two singles and a double in six innings, striking out six and walking one. He threw 70 pitches, 46 for strikes.
``He threw really well,' Yost said. ``It was good to see Matt jump in there and be on the same page with Kyle. He did a nice job of getting him through six innings. We had it set up for Kyle to throw five, but his pitch count was so low, we just had to extend him a little bit because he missed his last start.'
Davies missed his previous scheduled start to return to Atlanta for the birth of his first child, and Treanor caught nine innings for the first time this spring as gets acquainted with a new pitching staff.
``It's not going to be easy,' Treanor said. ``I'll spend extra time getting to know guys, talking to them, getting to know their personalities, maybe that will help me with them on the mound and calling the game.'
The 35-year-old Treanor was selected by Kansas City in the fourth round of the 1994 draft, but was traded to the Florida Marlins in 1997 when he was still in the minors.
``I always wanted to play for the Royals again,' Treanor said. ``I was young and kind of naive when I left, so I was hoping to get a chance to come back here. So it's nice to be here.'
Treanor was traded from Milwaukee to Texas during the final week of spring training last year.
``I'm getting used to it,' he said. ``It's a little bit of a whirlwind, kinda crazy getting setup, figuring out where you're going to be at.'
Kila Ka'aihue hit a three-run homer, and Alex Gordon, Alcides Escobar and Jeff Francoeur had solo shots for Kansas City, which leads the majors with 217 runs and 43 homers in spring training.
The Brewers mostly used minor leaguers. Craig Counsell and Jeremy Reed were the only players that likely will be on the 25-man opening-day roster.
Sam Narron allowed five runs and eight hits in four innings for Milwaukee.

I have been browsing the mini multi rotor thread on RC Groups and watching online videos of people flying 250mm high powered quads FPV and it looks like a lot of fun…!
One that seems to have a lot of fans is the Blackout mini. However, it never seems to be in stock!
After a bit of online research, I bought one from fpv-reconn.com
Finding parts for this class of quad is not easy, as I am sure anyone who has tried, knows how frustrating it can be to wait for parts to come back into stock. Motors (good quality ones) are the hardest to find.
I particularly liked the RD230 as it comes with options for both 5" and 6" arms/props. The clean plate seems well isolated so I thought it would suit APM better from a vibration point of view. Most folks seem to like the Naze32 (acro or full) board but I wanted to try the HobbyKing APM mini as I have some experience with the APM and Pixhawk platforms.
I am not a great LoS pilot (need a LOT more practice!!) let alone flying FPV with goggles..!! But I am keen to learn and improve. Living in a large city, I don't have access to "safe" wide open spaces to fly my larger quads (650mm class with Pixahwk) so a mini quad is better option for park flying. I still observe all safety rules and ensure I am a safe distance from people or pets
Parts list:
RD230 with 3mm thick 6" arms –fpv-reconn.com
Cobra 2204-28 2300Kv motors – 6030 props
HK Blue series ESC's flashed with latest SimonK
HK mini APM 2.5 (on-board compass) with ublox LEA-6H GPS and power module
APM telemetry Tx/Rx (433Mhz)
FrSky 8XR Rx – Taranis Tx
Various 3s batteries ranging from 1300 to 1800mah
Mobius action cam – lens B
I did a quick & dirty build just to get it up in the air and see if this setup flies ok. I was not sure what layout to use (H or X) on mission planner, I went with H. I plan to rebuild and clean up later. Still not certain if it is better to stick with a PDB or make a wiring harness for the power.
Once I am happy with the flight setup; I plan to install the FPV gear. A 600-800 Tvl board camera and a Boscam 400mw 5.8Ghz video Tx and Boscam 32Ch Rx. I have the Pirate Eye monocular glasses which has a VGA display on one eye. I am not sure if I can handle full FPV goggles and the sensory deprivation... Perhaps when I have more skills and confidence..!
There is a LOT of wire shortening and soldering required. The mini APM does not use the same connectors as its bigger brother and the colours / pin assignments are not the same nor are they well documented. Thankfully there is a user created document online to help out.
I tried a few indoor hops (without GPS) in stabilise mode. The stock PID's were WAY TOO HIGH and set roll/pitch sensitivity to 0.0930 and hover throttle to 410 to get it to hover without trying to flip over. This was to be expected as these quads are generally overpowered (by design). But even with these parameters it seemed a bit twitchy and I should have gone lower still. However indoors I had no chance to open up the throttle so it did not look too bad but once outside, it became obvious how twitchy it gets with a bit of high throttle. It was flyable but really rocking side to side; horrible to watch on my video! Indoor hovering vibes were very impressive indeed, between 3-4 points on the all axis (X, Y, Z) according to the logs. The props were not balanced.
I did not do compass MOT; so was not sure how bad the mag interference might be, given how closely everything is located on this frame. When I switched to loiter, I was very pleasantly surprised by the solid position hold. The third clip shows it loitering – if you look at the shadows (5 minutes 52 seconds) you can see me pull the quad out of position and it recovering its position in loiter.
I think the battery is making a difference in the sensitivity. In the first and second clip, I am using a 1800mah A-Spec battery. According to the HK spec these have a 65~130c rating. In the third clip I use a 1300mah rated at 45~90c. The third clip is less twitchy, or at least it looks that way to me.
I am going to experiment with lower PID's and lowering the rate of climb. I am not sure if auto tune might work on a quad of this power to weight ratio, but might give that a try too. The thing that worries me is that if I reduce the values way down, I might get rid of the twitching but may also end up with a sluggish unresponsive quad.
Could the twitchy behaviour in flight caused by bad motor timing due to the flashed firmware in the ESC's? I have read some posts claiming the latest version of SimonK has some timing issues with the Sunny Sky 2300Kv motors, hence people are using the 2103 version of the firmware. The oscillations are very pronounced when pushing the throttle hard in climb or forward/backward flight. Any ideas?
I also plan to try out 5" props (both bi and tri blade) to see how that works out. Lots of different things to try…. And a lot more to learn…
Clearly the clips I have posted are horrible examples of AP, but I am hoping the more experienced pilots might be kind enough to offer some advice on tuning and performance improvement after seeing them.

In a months time i'll join in the fun... Cutting my own frames and will be using the AOIP... Waiting for motors are a pain...
thank you for sharing - I am waiting for the blackout, my plan is to try the APM on it.. I hope it's not too heavy!
I would suggest doing the nob tuning option - just seems like your PID's are too high. If that is not possible, try to ~half them from 0.0901 to something like 0.0500 and i bet you will be much happier. Also, post logs if you want more help - could easily tell if a motor is not performing as it should.
Cronselaar - you can buy the luminier motors http://www.getfpv.com/fxc1806-14-2300kv.html
The links to the clip do not work, can you repost pls?
Apologies about the broken links. It's my first blog post and I did try to embed the code from vimeo and youtube but it just showed up as yellow boxes. I shall try again
Thx for reposting your vids. Your gains are way too high as seen from the roll oscillations.
You do not have jello on your video which is really nice!
Lower your gains and do the autotunning. That worked for me all the times in differents sizes. My smallest size is a 330mm though. If autotunning doesn't do the job, clear your D gains and tune P and I for smoth flight, and when it becomes flightable, start rising D by small steps to make ir rock solid. I must confess that now I do autotuning always, so my manual tuning skills are not very trusty
finally got my 250 quad. this thing is so much fun! managed to get a full sized apm 2.6 + GPS, getting 10 minutes of flight with a 2200 3s battery. Here's a quick test flight:
Thanks for those PID's. They'll become famous when the onslaught of 250 builders that is coming start looking for how to get the multirotor version of a hoped up porsche to fly right. Do you guys recommend a better esc for apm than any simon-k. I've seen the stalling issues with both of my copters, and it kinda stinks. I cant get even a little agressive with either or I lose a motor. That stinks when you're 50 feet in the air.

Today, we attended the ' TNCSC Diwali / Eid / Halloween celebration 2011′ at Scarborough, Ontario. This was our first celebration kind of thing, after arriving here. We met some great friends and yes, it was good to feel 'home', after a couple of months. The party was great and I'm thankful to one of my friends, who introduced us to this event. It's a great way to network here. Where else can you see such a large gathering of OUR people in Canada, other than gatherings like these? Although this one is Tamils specific, I'm sure every community has an organization like this and they do organize events like this regularly.

Just though I should do a quick post for you, so that you don't forget about me.
I am ever so tempted to go buy the next product at my local Clicks or Dischem (Dark and lovely is not making it easy hey) and then I remind myself there are willing South Africans out there who are in need of my support and this platform is also another way of getting them known and spreading the love. I am sure some of them you have heard of and some you have probably seen on TV.
Nature's Wishlist
True Curls
Rockin Naturals
Almost every product line has a butter in it, so that you would have to be on some experiment to test the difference. I could be wrong to assume that every natural loves a good conditioner, cause I sure do and not all of these products in today's list have conditioners.
One thing I think I have an itch about is the pricing, gee, the cost plus shipping eish! Rockin Naturals seem to be fairly priced and Nature's Wishlist, but to each their own. And on that note, if you want to make some extra cash while helping our local brands you can contact True Curls, Nilotiqa and Nature's Wishlist to be their distributor, this helps sharpen some entrepreneurship skills.
This was nice and short for me. I hope you enjoyed it. Until next post, God bless...

Yiew Voon Ngee, Principal, ABeam Consulting
Yiew Voon Ngee discusses the growing partnership between Anaplan Singapore and ABeam Consulting and how the Hub conference has helped share the possibilities and abilities of Anaplan with customers and prospects alike.
I think Anaplan brings value to our customers in a sense that it is improving the efficiency. They are helping them to reach information that they may not be able to foresee previously. Having this kind of insight into their own data, [which] we should have collected over a number of years—to me, [it] would help them to improve [their] own performance and their operations tremendously. Sometimes, it is difficult for the customers to actually identify what they need when they have not actually seen what Anaplan can do. So this—having an event like this actually helps to share the possibilities and the abilities of Anaplan.
The partnership we have with Anaplan is great. We recently engaged with Anaplan. It hasn't been too long but within the short period we have gotten ourselves engaged very tightly with Anaplan in Singapore. We work together on projects. We have our people certified within a short period of time. We had platinum sponsors of your first Hub event. So things have been very smooth, and we are looking forward to a great future.
My name is Yiew Voon Ngee. I am a Principal with ABeam Consulting.

Nintendo is back with another fun-filled party game for the Wii U! The Mario Party 10 bundle ($59.99) not only includes hours of excitement but it also comes with a Mario amiibo! The tenth installation of the Mario Party series features Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Toad, Toadette, Rosalina, and Donkey Kong as playable characters. Bowser is also a playable character but only in a special party mode. Following the footsteps of its predecessors, Mario Party 10 is packed with a variety of mini games and at least five different game boards to choose from in the Mario Party game mode. In Mario Party 10, there are two new party modes to choose from aside from the normal Mario Party and these modes are the Bowser Party and the amiibo party.
For those new to the Mario Party series, the regular Mario Party game mode allows up to four players. These players choose from a series of game boards and these game boards have their own unique themes and mechanics. The players take turns hitting a dice block (1-6) that determines how many steps they can take and stepping on certain game board spaces may trigger a mini-game event or give them power-ups. Winning a mini-game will reward you with Mini Stars which is needed to win this specific party mode. Mini Stars can also be found spread out across the board in random locations as well. The player with the most Mini Stars at the end of the board's path is crowned as the winner.
The second game mode is called the Bowser Party and this mode allows up to five players. In this mode, one of the players can play as Bowser using the Wii GamePad while the other four players play as Mario and his friends on the Wii remotes. The players, including Bowser, are placed on a game board and the four players must move towards the end of the game board while avoiding Bowser. The player controlling Bowser gets to roll multiple dices (corresponding to the number of players) to move closer to Mario and his friends and if he reaches them, the five players will be placed in a mini game scenario. In the mini game, the Bowser player has to deplete all the health points of the four players while the four players dodge Bowser's attacks. Bowser wins this mode if all the players' health points are gone while the players win if they can make it to the end of the board's path without losing all their health.
The last mode is the amiibo mode and this is where the Mario amiibo that comes with the bundle makes its debut. In the amiibo party mode, you get to use your amiibo as a game piece on a smaller board with mechanics similar to the Mario Party game mode. This mode is reminiscent of the older Mario Party games in that players collect coins to purchase stars.
Besides the Mario amiibo, the Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Toad, and Bowser amiibos are also compatible with this game mode. These six amiibos are part of the Super Mario wave 1 amiibo series. The benefits of connecting any of these six amiibos to the Mario Party 10 game is that you will be allowed to play on the connected amiibo's specially themed game board. Each game board is equipped with its own items and quirks. The Super Mario wave 1 amiibos are primarily compatible with Mario Party 10 but they also provide bonuses for games like Super Smash Bros. (except Toad) where you can customize and level your character and Mario Kart 8 (except Bowser and Toad) where you can get a special Mii racing costume based off the amiibo you connect to the Wii U.

A SWEDISH man has been charged after eating his wife's lips.
The professor from Sweden attacked his wife to make sure she could never kiss another man.
Swedish news site The Local reports the man wanted to give his wife 'a life sentence' of pain.
His charge was downgraded from attempted murder to aggravated assault because he stayed with her until the ambulance arrived.
The violent attack follows a spate of bizarre face-eating cases, which gained attention last month when a man was shot dead eating another man's face.
The phenomenon came to light in Florida when Rudy Eugene attacked a homeless man, and has been linked to the use of the street drug "bath salts".

At Shefman Law, Austin's finest motorcycle accident attorneys, we're not just great personal injury lawyers; we're riders as well. Because we enjoy taking our bike out just as much as the next Austin motorcyclist, we take a personal interest in safety on the roads, and we've made it our calling to counsel members of our community that have sustained injury in a motorcycle accident. Often, we're asked not only what you should do if you're involved in a motorcycle accident, but also what steps you should take if you've witnessed another rider being injured. In the spirit of this, we've put together a general list of what you may do if you're the first on the scene of a bike accident. Remember, we're not just Austin personal injury attorneys; we're bikers, just like you.
Stop, Take a Deep Breath, and Reassure the Victim While You Wait For Assistance
The first thing you'll want to do in the event that you've witnessed a motorcycle accident is to take a deep breath and center yourself. Calm tends to go a long way in these types of situations, and a centered demeanor will be comforting for other people involved in the crash. As Austin motorcycle injury lawyers, we can't speak enough to how positive it can be to spend some time reassuring the victim while you wait for trained medical assistance. Often times in any major accident, a strong, reassuring presence is just what the situation needs.
Make a Detailed Assessment of Injuries and Call for Help
If no one has called for an ambulance yet, get a good look at the victim's state and make the call. If breathing is taking place normally, do not remove the victim's helmet. Similarly, make sure that the victim does not try to move or reach for her or his bike, as certain injuries can potentially be aggravated. As Austin motorcycle accident lawyers, we recommend that you also take down a detailed account of the scenario surrounding the crash. What other vehicles were involved? What direction was the driver coming from? Did you notice any drivers making illegal or specious lane changes or turns? If the victim does end up requiring a personal injury attorney or specialized motorcycle accident attorney, your observations may prove invaluable.
Check the Victim for Shock and Manage the Scene
Depending on the scenario, helping to organize traffic surrounding the accident can be incredibly helpful. If there are other witnesses around, ask them to direct cars around or away from the victims and their vehicles, and attempt to keep space accessible for emergency vehicles. One thing we've learned from years of experience as motorcycle injury lawyers is that shock is very typical in these situations, which is why you should do your best to keep speaking with the victim while you wait for assistance. Watch for pale, cool, clammy skin as a sign that a victim is in shock. Also, if a victim is having trouble answering simple questions ("What's your name," etc.), this may also be a sign of shock, which you'll want to notify responding medics of.
When the Ambulance or Officers Arrive, Give Them Full Details
The final step in assisting in a motorcycle accident is to comply with the responding professionals as best you can. If you have noticed difficulty in breathing or other visible signs in the victim, make sure the medics know this. If you were able to get down a license plate number from a car that has left the scene, pass it on to the police officers when they arrive. As Austin motorcycle accident attorneys, we can't say enough how your ability to take in details can help with treating the victim and assessing blame in the crash. This is where a calm demeanor can really pay off.
At Shefman Law, we pride ourselves on being not only exceptional motorcycle accident injury attorneys and personal injury lawyers, but also on being members of Austin's wonderful biker community. If you've been involved in an accident or have sustained injury through a motorcycle crash, contact the personal injury lawyers at Shefman Law today to begin your journey towards justice.

Always Have a Backup Plan...
Posted by Nick Hale in SoftLayer, Technology
Everyone always says it's a good idea to have a backup plan just in case your primary plan bites the dust. I couldn't agree more. Recently my personal Xbox 360 failed and this has caused plenty of grief in my household. I used my Xbox to stream content from Windows Media Player on my desktop to the TV (via Media Center edition of Windows XP). This has worked great and has been able to provide me with a means to entertain my child. Of course, this going out has caused a screaming baby because now she can't watch her "movies".
Now, had I had a proper backup plan, this wouldn't be an issue. See, I put all of my trust into a single device and/or single method to accomplish something. When this device failed, my operation came to a halt. I didn't listen to the advice I'm always telling our customers… have a backup or backup plan. This is where our "extra services" come into play. Not only do we offer backup solutions (eVault, NAS…) but we also offer solutions that allow you access to high-availability configurations (Citrix XenServer, for example). With XenServer you can configure a cluster of systems and setup automatic failover. This would prevent any major outages of your website/services. If this isn't something you think would work for you, utilizing eVault backups might. We now offer eVault Bare Metal Restore. Now, the problem is somehow applying these to my Xbox so my kiddo can go back to watching her movies... Long story short, don't rely on a single solution. Always have a backup plan or system in place to prevent headaches in the future. You won't regret it if you do.

Written and Directed by Edward Neumeier, 2008
I'm sure there is someone out there who is a greater STARSHIP TROOPERS fan than I, who has a replica 'Death From Above' tattoo on their right bicep, but this clay tablet remains; before undergoing eye surgery, I chose STARSHIP TROOPERS to be the last film I potentially would ever see. I feel that evidence speaks for itself. My admiration for Verhoeven's bender needs no further defense.
How quaint, then, that I would want to tear my laser enhanced eyes out while watching STARSHIP TROOPERS 3: MARAUDER. Nah, just kidding. STARSHIP TROOPERS 3 isn't that bad. Oh, it is of course miles from good, maybe even a few feet away from bad, but it isn't worthless. It is exactly what you would expect from a third generation, straight-to-DVD, fire sale budgeted sequel to an original film about might-be actors as space marines shooting landmark visual effects alien bugs. Only this time the marines are played by almost-was actors and the bugs are filled out by shouldn't-have-bothered CGI.
Edward Neumeier, who may just have a 'Death From Above' tat on one arm and an 'I'd buy that for a Dollar!' on the other, attempts to reign in the franchise from the first sequel HERO OF THE FEDERATION and return it to original Space Sopa Opera standard while keeping much of the ambition that made said original such an epic. Attempts aren't everything, as we all sorely know, and while the exertion does yield a few successes, the failures glare brighter than the seven lens flares found on the film's DVD cover.
Which leads me to a tangent theory; a direct inverse relationship exists between a film's quality and the number of lens flares found on its promotional artwork. Even seven lens flares couldn't hold me back from watching STARSHIP TROOPERS 3, which I suppose may be the greatest endorsement I can give the film.
In this new future humans are still at war with the Arachnids for some reason, but that's okay because the Federation has a new Sky Marshall that sings and dances (literally) and everyone loves him. And 'ole Roughneck John Rico is still in the military, saving civilization with his still chiseled, but gravity hurting jaw line. The only familiar things to be found, other than the comparably satirical universe in which this shebang resides, are Casper Van Dien and the bugs with long beaks. No other returning actors, no super clever winks to the original. Well, that's not true. The brain bug captured on Planet P returns, but at twice the size and with powers it didn't have before. The lack of clever stands, though.
Aside from Dien, the only name is Jolene Blalock, who plays pilot Lola Beck, who is in a relationship with Dien's pal Dix Hauser, whose name will survive long after ST3:M fades. There is an odd triangle between the three, which sometimes makes sense, but often doesn't. Tacked on is the new Sky Marshall, whose role in the plot is obvious from the first time we see him, and a weird religious fervor that I somehow missed the introduction of. At one point in the movie everyone was talking about religion and I don't know why.
Acting is, well, lips moving and sounds being made. Dien is Dien. I'm not one of Blalock's fans from her "ENTERPRISE" days, so this is my first impression of her outside of a magazine spread. Granted she isn't given much material to work with, but I remain a non-member of her fan club. Plus, her lips change color quite often during the same scene. Not her fault, but funny nonetheless.
The special effects are nothing of the sort. In the interest of full disclosure, I did watch this in HD. Transferring computer generated imagery as featureless as this to Blu-ray is putting lipstick and a dress on the Montauck Monster. Night often hides much of the polygon shortcomings, but is also the backdrop for many a insert shot. The action is routinely interrupted by logistical limitations (such as the kind solved in post-production by the aforementioned insert), but Neumeier does a satisfactory job at salvaging what hes got.
The satire is in full effect, but also narrowed with all the precision of a belly flop. It is almost as if Neumeier's script for STARSHIP TROOPERS 3 just wants desperately to make fun of something regardless of accuracy. In the end the joke is on him, because none of the satire is consistent and occasionally borders on complete non-relevance.
It would be stupid to recommend MARAUDER to anyone who isn't a diehard fan of the original film. I even have a hard time recommending it to people like me. Standing alone, the movie does very little to earn its keep (though the new brain bug is pretty cool), but nostalgia for the series and a vault of well intentions are enough to save the picture from disgrace. There is certainly no urgency to get on this. If it happens, it happens. Just roll with it. Someone needed a paycheck, maybe some day you'll need something to watch and all will be kismet.
I'm not happy the review for you-know-what has been pushed off the front page.
I'll leave it at that.
Dude, I count 8 lense flares on the cover. But they don't even look like real "fake" lense flares. More like someone used the spray paint tool in Microsoft Paint and pressed the mouse button for 2 seconds in each spot.
Maybe they are meant in a satirical way. Neumeier just blew our minds.
Hey Brian, I don't know who you think you are but it's a well known fact that lens flares represent your level of photoshop mastery. Clearly the DVD cover was created by an 8th level black belt photoshop master. And that's assuming there aren't more hidden in a layer somewhere that has it's opacity turned down too low to see. It's quite possible this cover was designed by an elite photoshop ninja master that's using techniques of deception just to hide the true greatness of their power. I mean, I'm just saying I'd watch my back. You're probably one more post away from this person finding a photo of you and adding a giant penis shooting a lens flare right in your eye!

UPDATE October 3rd 2017
Removed references to compileSql() function which was deprecated and removed in Sugar 7.9.
You have found yourself in a bind, and you need to query the database directly. There is no other recourse than to write a query to get the data you need. This cookbook entry is going to give you some examples on how to use our new SugarQuery API instead of direct SQL.
1. What is SugarQuery?
SugarQuery is a SQL query builder for retrieving data directly from the database. It is used extensively within the core of the application. For instance, the FilterAPI uses it.
It uses a bean, the beans relationships, and visibility models to build a SQL query that can be used to retrieve data.
2. The Basics
SugarQuery has a very simple interface for building queries.
The basic methods you will need to create a query are:
- select($fields) – accepts an array of fields you would like to select
- from($bean) – validates the query against a SugarBean at generation
- where() – creates an AND where object
- orWhere() – creates an OR where Object
- join($link) – accepts a link from the from bean to create the correct join(s)
- orderBy($field, $direction) – accepts a field and a direction to sort upon
- groupBy($field) – accepts a field to group by
- having($condition) – accepts a condition (see below)
There is also conditions that can be used when building out your query. This conditions can be used with the where and having.
To execute a query you call execute() on the object. If you would like to see the sql it generated you can call
$query->compile()->getSQL() and
The execute() method by default returns an array of the records selected. You may also choose to return the db result object execute('db') or return as json execute('json').
Lets try a simple example of selecting all Accounts that have an industry of 'Media'.
Now lets roll through some examples.
3. Joins
Let's now get all the contacts on these media accounts.
4. N-Deep Joins
Lets say you need to get all media industry accounts, contacts, that are attached to closed opportunities. Why? Because you can!
As you can see, you can prefix a field with the link name, and when the SQL is generated it will replace those with the system generated aliases.
5. But I want my own aliases!
So you want to alias things yourself? Alright! You can set aliases everywhere!
6. Order the madness
Now you have this data, but you want to sort it, make it make some sense. Thats EASY!
7. Groups!
Time to group by!
7. Having!
For a having we need to setup a condition object. To do this, instantiate the SugarQuery_Builder_Condition object and set the operator, field, and values.
SugarQuery is your one stop shop for getting your data out of the database. In part two we can examine more advanced options.

Schedule a fix-it day
As you post your new calendar, circle one weekend day this month for a fix-it day.
Prepare ahead of time by wandering the house and noting minor repairs that you can do in less than a day. These are things like replacing cracked switch plates and burned-out bulbs, tightening loose screws and lubricating squeaky hinges. Make a list of materials and tools you need. Shop for whatever you don't have in a single trip.
On the appointed day, put the tools and supplies in a tote (the homeowner version of a carpenter's steps-saving tool belt) and get to work. As you proceed from room to room, test all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and check off other items from your master list.
If you're struggling to find a place for all the holiday gifts your family received, you're not alone. Home-improvement stores consider this month the "storage season," which means you can probably find an unusually good selection and prices on plastic bins, closet organizers and the like. A few tips:
-- If you're buying plastic bins, go for ones that are clear so you can see what's inside.
-- Look for straight-sided containers. Ones with tapered sides waste a surprising amount of shelf space.
-- If you're planning to store the containers on shelves, match the size of the boxes to the depth and width of the shelves so you aren't left with hard-to-use gaps.
-- Consider forgoing plastic and instead get a supply of free and wonderfully designed, extra-sturdy cardboard boxes from a discount store such as Costco. If you want to stack containers (eliminating the need for shelves), get boxes with interlocking tabs and slots on the top and bottom. Boxes with bin-style fronts that are partially open allow you to reach in and retrieve items from all levels without moving any boxes.
Plan ahead
If you're contemplating major outdoor repairs when the weather warms, do your homework now. If you're facing a re-roofing job, for example, call roofers for estimates and advice about materials, then follow up by visiting a building-materials store to see samples and call past customers to check references. The National Association of Home Builders has other tips about what you can do now to ensure that you line up a good contractor.
Apply for permits at your local building department. If you live in a historic district in Washington, the historic preservation program within the D.C. Office of Planning (202-442-7600) helps with this and gives tips on how to avoid expensive mistakes, such as undermining the structural integrity of a brick wall by installing the wrong kind of replacement window or repointing with an inappropriate kind of mortar.
Plant bulbs
After the holidays, most garden centers cut prices on any remaining forcing-type bulbs, such as paperwhites and amaryllis. They might look a little peaked, but most are still primed to grow and bloom. Even a single amaryllis makes a stunning display, but if you're going for paperwhites, buy at least five bulbs.
Get a planting tray or pot about 4 inches deep for paperwhites or 6 to 7 inches deep for amaryllis. Fill halfway with potting soil or decorative pebbles.
Place bulbs on top, pointed end up. Then fill in around the bulbs, to within a half-inch of the top.
Add water. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. With pebbles, keep the water level below the base of the bulbs.
Add life to your garden
Many gardeners look forward to January as a time to peruse seed catalogues while cozying up to a fire. This year, consider expanding by keeping honeybees. Prince William Regional Beekeepers has an intro class starting Jan. 19, and similar programs are scheduled in many other communities. For details, visit the Web sites for the Virginia State Beekeepers Association

The phrase "desperate times call for desperate measures" is especially true for December's selections. Whether plunging into a gang war or jockeying to be plucked as a millionaire's wife, the characters in these novels find themselves caught up in desperate situations. Some will turn to God and others will rely on superior firepower.
This month's Pick is Rhonda Bowen's romantic and intriguing tale about the topsy-turvy world of the R&B music industry and the challenges that threaten a young women's spirituality.
Pick of the Month
Bowen, Rhonda. Hitting the Right Note. Dafina: Kensington. Apr. 2014. 384p. ISBN 9780758281395. pap. $15; ebk. ISBN 9780758281418. F
Following career dreams or following God is the message in Bowen's companion novel to Get You Good. Here the spotlight shifts to another Isaac sister from Toronto, JJ. Happy to be a backup singer to Jayla Grey, 26-year-old JJ is stunned when an audition lands her a touring spot with R&B sensation Deacon Hill. But the furious all-out lifestyle of post-show partying wears on JJ who finds herself drained emotionally and spiritually. She's desperate to reconnect with the serenity of the church but feels herself pulled in many directions when her singing talent explodes on stage. Complicating her decision is Dr. Simon Massri, a man she met over five years ago but who now is involved with JJ's sister-in-law's unstable pregnancy. JJ needs guidance only found with a serious sit down in a church pew.
VERDICT There's a lot of will-she-or-won't-she going on here as JJ dithers between taking the plunge with Simon instead of throwing herself into her career. The measured pacing picks up with a nifty twist that occurs two-thirds into the novel. JJ is a likable soul, and readers will be inspired on how she handles her dilemmas.
Bradshaw, Nicole. Champagne Life. Strebor: S. & S. (Zane Presents). Jan. 2014. 384p. ISBN 9781593094850. pap. $15; ebk. ISBN 9781476703930. F
Naomi Knowles is deeply in love with her sexy husband, DeShaun, but they struggle financially with their low-paying jobs in Philadelphia. DeShaun sometimes pulls in tips at his waiter gig but more often fends off sexual offers from drunken Mrs. Herjavec. At her banking job Naomi also deals with unwanted flirting from coworker Jeremy. Naomi and DeShaun laugh off these awkward situations until they realize they're totally broke. Should DeShaun become a paid escort for Mrs. Herjavec? Should Naomi use Jeremy as a connection to a new job? Money woes lead to desperate decisions as Naomi and DeShaun's relationship unravels from hot lust into angry betrayal.
VERDICT Bradshaw's (Caviar Dreams) lengthy novel features alternating episodes marked by a whodunit opening scene that will pique interest, but readers will have to put up with tedious dithering about several love affairs. Push this one to patrons who request stories along the lines of television soap operas.
Cheríe, Jaye. The Cost of Love and Sanity. Strebor: S. & S. (Zane Presents). Jan. 2014. 304p. ISBN 9781593095093. pap. $15; ebk. ISBN 9781476733395. F
Alex Carter is distressed that Phillip, her selfish control freak of a boyfriend, walked out on her, leaving her without a man or children. A recruitment manager, she throws herself into planning an elaborate job fair but at age 35 feels her biological clock ticking. She gazes longingly at a Babies"R"Us store and then feels a twinge of jealousy when picking out a friend's baby shower gift. What about the sperm donor method? Alex decides that the $595 price tag from a 6'1" African American male weighing 195 pounds is a bit steep. Just in time this desperado girl runs into Nathan, a sexy guy she kicked it with a decade ago. Sparks rekindle as girl meets boy and, of course, loses boy. Seriously Alex, is Nathan really worth it?
VERDICT Readers will question if Alex is a bit too witchy, accusing Nathan of cheating with only sketchy evidence. Still, scenes of makeup sex add a steamy edge to this gentle romance by the author of The Golddigger's Club that shows an older African American career woman struggling to find everlasting love.
Santiago, Nisa. Cartier Cartel 3: South Beach Slaughter. Melodrama Pub. 2013. 258p. ISBN 9781620780275. pap. $15. F
Bloody violence? Check. Gangland wars? Check. Betrayal? Double check. All this and more are part of Cartier Timmons's world after leaving her beloved Brooklyn for Miami's South Beach. She meets up with sexy Quinn, who is the sister of Hector, leader of the Ghost Ridas. Cartier and Quinn hit the clubs partying hard until tragedy hits home. The women desperately seek revenge but find themselves caught in the middle of a war between Ghost Ridas and another gang. Reinforcement arrives when ride-or-die chick Lil' Mama hits Miami, telling Cartier she's down with whatever. "Whatever" ends up meaning brutal executions that leave a gruesome mess for the cops to sort out. Yet, Cartier senses something's not right and she's being set up. These women prove femininity isn't necessarily a sign of weakness.
VERDICT Santiago's writing has a straight up street vibe, and her latest Cartier adventure (after Return of the Cartier Cartel) zooms at breakneck speed. Readers don't have to wait long between violent scenes, each more brutal than the last. Load up on copies. Patrons will demand more of "those Nisa Santiago books."
Warren, Tiffany L. The Replacement Wife. Dafina: Kensington. Mar. 2014. 276p. ISBN 9780758280602. pap. $15. F
Chloe Brooks is vexed that Atlanta multimillionaire widower Quentin Chambers has strung her along for five years. A true gold digger, Chloe has given it her best shot at the elusive wedding ring, starting by thrusting her surgically enhanced bosom in Quentin's face during his wife's funeral. Quentin is further distracted by Montana Ellis, the new nanny for his five children, who brings a Mary Poppins sweetness to the depressed household. Chloe realizes the power of a black lace teddy that allows her to spend Quentin's cash for Louis Vuitton bags and Louboutin heels. On the other hand Montana knows her way around a kitchen and encourages Quentin's children to joyfully sing church songs. These two women have no hope of coexisting in Quentin's world but his replacement wife decision is put on hold when out of desperation, Chloe concocts a nasty scheme to smear Montana.
VERDICT Strong messages about the power of faith, church, and prayer carry this rags-to-riches romance with a definite fairy tale vibe. Savvy librarians will recommend this gentle read to patrons who are also dedicated church ladies.
