The old Honda scraped its pegs as I gasped on adrenaline, cold tires and wild-eyed speed on an over-cooked turn. Giggle, go slower now. The smell of apples rotting on a fallow orchard mingled with an over-rich idle that I'd meant to do something about but never did because it ran so well up top. I couldn't tell you why I got up in the dark, slipped out of a warm bed next to my wife, left good friends, to be alone in the pre-dawn wet. I pulled on my boots, zipped the suit, clucked to myself the preride checklist. Fetish against harm. In three hours the house would wake with hot coffee and good conversation. But I'm gone.
Fast forward, a triumphant super-ego and an empty garage bay. Swapping stories of great rides over drinks after work, a bullshit four corners plan for when the kid is grown.

The computer mouse was invented in what year? 9. 10. 1971 What year was the first commercial 3D animation software available? 1984 What year was the first fully 3D animated film created? 1995 Chapter 2 Getting to Know the Production Pipeline You can picture the 3D animation production pipeline as a car assembly line.
At first the studio did not think computer-generated 3D creatures could achieve the look and believability needed to pull off a movie of the scope of Jurassic Park. The studio and director considered stop-motion animation for the dinosaurs, but ILM created a test that proved they could create the realism needed for these creatures. This film went on to win the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. In 1994, the first all-3D television series ReBoot was aired. This show was the first of its kind.

MATS Report: Bendix moves forward with braking and stability advancements
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems continues research and development on the latest element of its active safety system strategy with an anticipated launch of early 2008.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will enable brake intervention to help rapidly slow a vehicle and maintain following distance in addition to engine dethrottling and engine brake (retarder) applications.
The sensor controlling the ACC can track up to 32 objects within a 16-degree radius, explained Fred Andersky, marketing manager of the electronics group with Bendix; during the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky. on March 21.
Our approach to adaptive cruise control utilizes the braking system to provide more stopping power than competitive systems, and fleets can be comforted knowing that the braking system manufacturer is operating the brakes, said Kevin Romanchok, Bendix product line director, electronics. Additionally, our target is integration with the OE dash to provide a clean look and simple functionality that requires no special switches or externally mounted lights or buzzers.
The ACC will enable a vehicle to maintain a set following interval based on time between the truck and the lead vehicle. To help decelerate the vehicle and keep the intended following distance, the Bendix ACC system will use throttle reduction, engine retarder and brake application.
ACC can be utilized in the same situations as standard cruise control. Similar to standard cruise control, the driver should avoid using the system in stop-and-go traffic, in inclement weather or poor road conditions, and at speeds considered unsafe for traffic, weather, and road conditions.
Like all active safety technologies, ultimate responsibility for accident avoidance rests with the driver, noted Romanchok. These technologies will not make bad drivers good drivers, but will help good drivers avoid bad situations.
Fleet testing is currently underway of the Bendix adaptive cruise control, which builds on the companys original active safety system the Bendix ESP stability system.
The Bendix ESP stability aids a driver in maintaining control of the vehicle when forced to swerve to avoid a collision or due to weather conditions.
Bendix announced during MATS, the sales of the Bendix ESP system in 2006 grew 800% from the prior year. Additionally, Bendix expects to exceed 40,000 Bendix ESP-equipped vehicles on the road by the end of 2007.
More than 90% of highway tractor configurations from Mack, Volvo, Peterbilt, Kenworth and International are now available with the Bendix ESP system as optional or standard equipment, noted the manufacturer.
All five OEMs will have some availability of stability on their vocational offerings in 2007.
Our electronic stability program continues to grow both in volume and applications as fleets and OEM customers realize the additional value that full-stability systems provide, said Romanchok. The next step is to continue growing on highway tractors while adding emphasis to a greater number of vocational and bus applications.
Full-stability systems address both roll and directional stability situations, providing the maximum coverage on the broadest range of driving conditions, including dry pavement and slick, low-friction road surfaces. According to the March 2006 Report to Congress on the Large Truck Crash Causation Study, an estimated 28.6% of commercial vehicle accidents are caused by a loss of control factor, which can include sliding or skidding on wet, snow or ice-covered surfaces; situations that roll-only stability systems are not equipped to address.
A rollover can result from situations that could have been mitigated earlier if the vehicle involved had an ESP type of stability system, commented Romanchok. A full-stability system, such as Bendix ESP, provides the maximum amount of stability coverage widely available in the market today, at a cost that is often less than many convenience options.

It took me a few days to figure out that I was having this issue as well. 45 mm was great for months, but started to get loose - especially as the day wore on, combined with the weight of the cage. Per my KH's suggestion, I switched to a 40 mm. The difference was dramatic, as everything pulled in much closer. Then the temperature dropped and I was in varying degrees of (not the good kind of) agony.
I tried again for a few days, but it ended up causing some mild damage (especially as the cage was too small.) My KH stopped that immediately. The steel knock offs have been a great learning tool but their utility has run its course and I'll be moving into a Contender soon.

It starts getting cold here in the UK in October and usually stays that way overall until March but cold here is ... cold and wet but seldom drops below -10 degrees C though wind chill can make it feel worse.
I have never noticed a significant difference in the fit of either my base rings or tubes.

What is a charging cycle, and why are there increasingly more of them?
Truck battery charging cycle
Charging and discharging the battery is called the charging cycle. If half of the battery charge is discharged and then recharged, this is referred to as a 50% charging cycle. If the battery is fully discharged and then re-charged, this is a hundred percent charging cycle. Complete discharge of the battery should always be avoided, because this considerably shortens the life of the battery and also not enough energy is available to start the engine. However: In many fleets it can now be seen that truck batteries have to deal with more frequent and deeper discharges than was previously the case. Why is the number of charging cycles increasing and how does this affect the life of the battery?
Fleet managers are under pressure
There is a definite link between charging cycles and the cycles of loads and goods. For modern industrial countries long distance road transport is an important basis for wealth and growth. The economy is only kept moving by continuous deliveries to companies and traders. Requirements by businesses and consumers have increased. Orders which are placed today need to be delivered tomorrow. From the point of view of fleet managers the challenges are also increasing. For many years the transport of goods by road has been subject to a high pressure on costs. Sustainable profits can only be achieved with efficient route planning and short intervals. Under these conditions, the driver's cab in the truck is used more often as a hotel for the driver. At the same time, the long-term trend toward "rolling warehouses" allows little room for optimum vehicle maintenance.
Trucks with hoteling function provide comfort
If the trucks are equipped with modern comfort functions driver satisfaction and loyalty increases. Companies are also well aware of this, so that modern trucks are like small mobile hotels. TV, coffee machines and parking cooler make long stays in the cab more pleasant. However, the large number of electrical consumers also drains the battery. Almost continuous use of the battery results in increased wear. Similar to car tyres, which wear more quickly on a taxi which is in use day and night than on a private car, a truck battery is also subjected to greater stresses. This sometimes gives the impression that modern batteries are of poorer quality than they used to be. The actual reason for greater wear and shorter life is the more intensive use of the truck battery.
VARTA® – The truck battery professionals
At VARTA we have recognised the challenges and together with leading commercial vehicle manufacturers we have developed a new generation of AGM and EFB batteries. With these innovative technologies we ensure that in spite of the increased demands, maintenance of truck batteries remains as little as possible. This way your fleet can also be reliably provided with electrical power in the future.

Leaders Listen
Last week I shared with you Sumner Redstone's belief that his ability to listen is the key to his success. Throughout the week I continued to think about the topic of leadership and found myself going back to an author I have admired for years. John Maxwell is considered an expert in the area of leadership. He speaks on the topic and has written a number of books on the subject. His 1999 best seller "The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader – becoming the person others will follow" is already a classic. This is a book I recommend my coaching managers and leaders read and share with their staff.
I love the title and focus of Chapter 11 "Listening: To Connect with Their Hearts Use Your Ears." He quotes management guru Peter Drucker as saying "60% of all management problems are a result of faulty communication". I would add that most communication falters because someone isn't listening.
Maxwell sings high praise for Oprah Winfrey. He credits her success with an ability to listen and to make others feel heard. I often cite Oprah as an excellent interviewer because she allows her guests to speak. Even better, she listens to her staff and audience. She hears their suggestions and values their ideas. The concept for her highly successful Oprah Book Club reportedly came from her staff and was brought to fruition despite the host's reservations. Her audiences often tell her who and what they want shows to be. Anyone who questions her talent only has to watch her audiences and observe the communications she receives from her viewers. Oprah did not make her fortune by accident or luck she listened her way to the top.
Many of my coaching clients feel the need to be the answer to all of their employees' questions. In our coaching sessions we work on asking the best questions and listening to the complete answer rather than spending time thinking about a response or solution. It takes practice but can be learned and prove to be very rewarding.
So here is this week's challenge:

After you have seen the premises, you are down to negotiating and getting the paper works done.
1. Letter of Offer
Most landlords prefer the use of letter of offer. After agreeing on the terms and conditions, the landlord will issue a Letter Of Offer which contains the agreed terms with a copy of a draft tenancy agreement. The tenants will be given 1 week to 10 days to accept the letter of offer(LOO) and to return the LOO together with an initial deposit as stated inside the LOO.
2. Documentation / Security Deposit
The initial deposit depends on different landlord, it ranges from one month to several months. It is usually tied to the tenant's trade and paid up capital. The tenant must agree with the draft lease and the LOO before signing the Letter Of Offer and pays the deposit. Normally, the deposit is non refundable.
Whilst the terms and conditions of the lease are not finalized at this stage, the tenant must agree with the main points and figures in the draft lease before signing the Letter of Offer.
Drafting of the lease will usually take one month to complete. Most landlords have their own lease which they will not want to change too much. Major changes in the lease are unlikely and tenant have the option to use a lawyers familiar with landlord and tenant legislation in Singapore.
3. Taking Possession
All monetary amount stated in the lease have to be paid before taking possession of the premises. The landlord will go through with the tenant on the actual premises and ensure that the premises are handed over in a tenantable conditions.

If you're not familiar with them don't worry because that's why on today's post on the EscapeShoes blog we'll talk a tad about some of the versions of these famous Chameleon. Shall we begin?
Firstly it's important to clarify how these shoes came to be. The name Chameleon derives from reptile itself, which adapts to any situation and to any type of ground.

The best part's that you can put them on and take them off easily thanks to their elastic shoelaces! They're available in many colours for both women and men!
Since these shoes are so popular and sought-out Merrell decided to incorporate new versions, one of which the Chameleon 7, the most recent and improved version of this model!
These sneakers were created while thinking of extra comfort, presenting technologies such as FlexPlate and a Vibram outsole that provide this needed comfort and offers greater stability and traction. They're lovely, don't you think so?
Now that you've already saw a small sample of these Chameleon shoes' versions, do you know where you can buy these Merrell sneakers and many more online? At EscapeShoes, of course! We're sure that you'll find the ideal pair! We're waiting for you!

I arrived in
This morning in the paper were two front page stories that caught my attention.
One was about the sentencing to 16 years in prison of a
This story put to me once again the role of character in free markets: cheating is everywhere; laws alone don't stop it; free markets can clear it out only after the truth comes to light.
There would thus seem to be a constant, universal need to focus on ethics, character, personal goals and integrity as a third counter-weight to the human tendency to abuse power in private hands.
The second story was the report of a Chinese government agency that the average temperature in
Systemic temperature rise is prima facia evidence of global warming. It does not provide evidence of the cause or causes of the trend, but does leave us with the fact of a change in our environment.
And, to me, if we don't like the implications of the trend, regardless of its causes, we should be taking steps to moderate the rise in global temperatures.

(The Scientist) – Pediatric surgeons at the University of California, San Francisco, have treated a second-trimester fetus with stem cells taken from her mother's bone marrow. The baby, born in February, was the first patient enrolled in the world's first clinical trial using stem cells transplanted prior to birth. She is "apparently healthy," despite living with a deadly genetic disease called alpha thalassemia, according to a statement from the university.

Spinnerbaits a proven, versatile fish catcher
Fishing lures exist to do one thing, and that's catch fish.
Oh sure, some are better at catching fishermen than anything else. They just look "fishy," enough so to convince anglers to spend their money.
But if they don't produce, well, word gets around. And they're not long for the market.
Yet if they do?
Word gets out about that, too. That's why spinnerbaits have been around forever.
They don't necessarily look like anything a fish would eat, but they just work.
Weedless – meaning they can be fished through grass, weeds and rocks – they spark a reactionary bite among bass and even some other species. They're perfect for when fish are feeding aggressively.
You just have to fish them right.
Early in spring, that means slow. Keep them just barely off the bottom on the retrieve.
From summer through fall, you can speed things up.
Sometimes, it pays to reel pretty fast, with enough speed to keep the lure at or just below the surface. At other times, it's best to let the lure sink a bit – counting it down as it goes – until you find where fish are suspended. Then, keep the spinnerbait at that depth.
In both cases, though, don't be afraid to reel the lure in too fast. In fact, you almost can't.
Spinnerbaits in summer and fall work best when they're really moving.
Often they can be fished alone. Lots of times, though, it pays to add a tube, soft plastic-bodied minnow or something else.
In the case of tubes, some anglers stuff them with scent and plug them with a cotton ball. That lets scent out, but slowly.
Spinnerbaits come different blades, of course. Which one to choose?
Willow blades are a favorite in clear water, Colorado or turtle blades in stained water beause of the extra vibration-inducing thump they produce. Double blades are good in those conditions for the same reason.
Which color to choose varies by location. It's best, when possible, to match the color to the forage fish in a particular body of water.
In a lake where the bass feed in yellow perch, let's say, a gold spinnerbait with green and orange in the skirt or trailer can be good. If bluegills are the predominant feed source, a white spinnerbait with blue in the tail or trailer is good.
Whites, golds and chartreuses are good all-around colors, too.
They can be fished on monofilament, braid or fluorocarbon – everyone seems to prefer something different for different reasons – in all kinds of sizes, though 3/8- and 1-ounce are most common.
Always, fish seem to see them the same way, as a nice, large profile – dare we say fat and juicy – meal for the taking.
And they hit spinnerbaits like they mean it. So keep a couple in your arsenal this season.

Meanwhile, Aislin in the Montreal Gazette was wondering along with a lot of other Canadians where Canada's answer to Madoff, Earl Jones, had run off to. CAM in the Ottawa Citizen found the lighter side to the story of Canada's privacy watchdog expressing concerns over how Facebook uses personal information. And several Canadian editorial cartoonists were happy to have former Prime Minister Jean Chretien to kick around again as he received his order of Merit from the Queen.

I've just finished EON. Very imaginative work. However, imagination and reality often do not mix. For example, centrifugal force is not similar to gravitational force. The two forces are similar in effect when a mass is in contact with a rotating structure, i.e. the Stone. However; if I were on the Stone's wall and jumped upward, I would not fall back to the wall. Instead, I would continue moving upward. Because of this, an atmosphere could not exist inside the Stone. Of course, coming some some 20 years after the publication of EON, my comments are somewhat moot. Still, I think that in science fiction the known science should be true. For example, it is not critical what the value of Plank's constant is, as long as there is a Plank's constant. But all-in-all, it's a great read.
Posted by Bill Goodwin on 07/23/2016
Sorry to nit-pick, but you would indeed "fall" back to the wall of a rotating habitat after jumping upward (or toward the axis). When your feet leave the inner surface, you retain the momentum you had at that moment, which was directed tangentially in the spin-ward direction. Add the upward motion of your jump and you're in a slantwise trajectory...but remember that the surface "underneath" you keeps rotating while you're in the air. If the habitat is big enough, your jumping-off point will be right there to meet you when that trajectory brings your feet back into contact with the outer shell. At smaller sizes walking and jumping become difficult, but you don't lose the centrifugal effect, and the atmosphere is fine. If you want to float away toward the axis, your best bet is to run very fast in the anti-spinward direction. THAT will cancel out the gravity, and you'll be on your own.
Posted by A Culture Mind on 01/05/2017
Yeah, didn't you ever spin marbles in a bucket or bowl - and then 'jump' them a little, wherein they return to their trajectory around the inside of the container - unless your force exceeded the acceleration inside, wherein like Bill says they'd escape. But one g rotation is a LOT to exceed. It's called escape velocity, yo.
Posted by Bence on 11/28/2017
Hi, I'm in the middle of the book EON right now (russians invading), so please dont spoil me, but I have a question quite relating for this topic, that I don't understand (maybe because I am not native English). So when Russians reached first Chamber while attacking the Stone, they are floating (flying) through that chamber in their suits. Are they not under the effect of the 'artificial gravity'? And why they can't put off their suits, like they need oxigen from the suit? Did the Americans open the first chamber to push air out to the space? Thank you in advance!
Posted by Greg Bear on 12/07/2017
Inside the Stone, there is no artificial gravity... just the centrifugal force of the Thistledown's rotation, which they don't feel unless they contact the walls or the already-rotating atmosphere. The axis is mostly free-fall. Definitely interesting to try to visualize! As for atmosphere, the rotated atmosphere of the stone is well below the axis, and "clings" to the chamber walls, though there would be some leakage over time. There is no breathable atmosphere inside the bore holes or along the axis.

Listen: Korallreven - "Death is Not for Us"
Our first taste from the Swedes' excellently titled upcoming LP, Second Comin'.
A lot of contemporary electronic music has to do with what some have called the "eternal present" - living in the moment, unbothered by potential consequences, for better or worse. The Swedish duo Korallreven get into this on "Death is Not for Us," the lead single from their excellently titled forthcoming LP for Cascine, Second Comin', in which lovely, interwoven duo vocals insist "death is not for us if you believe in me." It's bubbly and catchy, saccharine sweet, and it might make you believe, too. Check it out - Second Comin' is out November 4th.

Operation Stryker Denial
eBook (PDF), 64 Pages
Price: $10.95
This book contains 12 scenarios that immerse the player in a close quarters battle for Sadr City during the spring of 2008. It is inspired by Konrad Ludwig's book, Stryker: The Siege of Sadr City and is not written for any specific set of rules. However, some of the scenarios are decidedly too large to be considered a skirmish and play best with company level rules.

Wow, been a while since I talked about a movie. Good thing it's a movie about video games.
The original Tron was a slow, plodding sort of Star Wars rip-off with a few interesting concepts and a light performance from Jeff Bridges. Though it lacked in entertainment value, it provided the first foray into cyberspace on film, something that the sci-fi and cyberpunk subgenre would build upon for 27 odd years since. The Matrix, Ghost in the Shell and, if anyone remembers them, cartoons Reboot and The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest all used variations of the Grid, designs that relied on neon and skintight leather, and rogue hackers who changed the system and fought soulless corporations and/or machines. Tron helped pave the way for all that. It showed that past the monitor there's a whole other universe inside the computer. Alice in Wonderland for the digital age — "a digital frontier."
It was also among the first movies to portray video games in a positive, interesting way. Bridges' character, Kevin Flynn, was an arcade hero who used his video game prowess to survive the disc and cycle games in the gladiatorial world of The Grid. And games have come a long, long way since Flynn's Arcade. They're the most innovative, lucrative entertainment medium there is today, and everyone plays them from Angry Birds to Plants vs. Zombies, to titles like Heavy Rain and Call of Duty that arguably push and blur the boundaries of what a game could be, making billions of dollars in the process.
Movies have responded in kind. Inception, Speed Racer, Avatar, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World — not to mention those unmentionables based on actual video game franchises — all emulate the kinetic imagery, rhythms and instant gratification video games provide, and most prominently, Tron's pioneering use of CG. Today, CG is so common that special effects are hardly special anymore. In a strange turnabout, practical effects like puppetry, prosthetics and — gasp — actual sets are novel once more.
So, with the history lesson out of the way, and a TRON: Legacy review to get into I have to reveal something first.
I saw TRON: Legacy in IMAX 3D, where I sat all the way on the right side of the massive theater, in the middle somewhere. It wasn't really by choice, the place was so packed. So, a nice part of the right side of the screen was blurry and never in focus the entire time. Combine the frantic camera movements of an action scene and the movie's overall dark palette and it was like watching a movie underwater. Aside from a few broad strokes, I couldn't tell you what happened in these action scenes. TRON: Legacy is dark. Aside from blue or yellow neon, black is the primary shade on the screen, so wearing 3D glasses that add yet another layer of darkness made my viewing experience kind of dreary. When I see the commercials on TV I'm looking at a way better picture than what I got, which is supremely frustrating. I may see the movie again, but if the 3D doesn't work on my obsolete eyeballs, then, well, I guess I'll suck it up and wait for the Blu-ray in six months.
In any case, TRON: Legacy.
After we play catch up with a narration that neatly sums up the first movie from Jeff Bridges, who returns as Kevin Flynn, we're introduced to his grown-up son, Sam, after his father mysteriously disappeared, leaving him and his hyper-successful company behind. Lock-breaking and camera-dodging his way up corporate headquarters to "free" his father's information, the scene establishes Sam as a (cyber)punk, a kid who's supposed to rule his dad's kingdom, but it's no longer the freedom-loving, innovative utopia his father built. It's run by douchebags and ass-kissers (and potential future villains) who just care about stocks and news coverage, man, so, like, fuck 'em. It's a crowd-pleasing, mischievous opening, and kind of a daring one on Disney's part, making a hero out of a different kind of pirate.
Once Sam finishes his stunt he meets Alan Bradley, once again played by Bruce Boxleitner. He gruffly informs Sam of a page (as in pager!) he got from his father's office at his old arcade. And what an arcade. When Sam turns the power back on and all those Donkey Kong and Pac-Man sound effects blare up, backed by Journey's "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)", I grinned ear to ear and found myself back in time. This scene can be a harsh one for those weaned on those extinct smokey, dark arcade rooms. To be honest, I did most of my arcade cabinet-playing at pizza parlors, a roller rink, and a hospital waiting room where I'm pretty sure Ms. Pac-Man popped my arcade cherry. That brazen hussy. Not much smokiness in any of those locations, though there was a place called Sportsworld in Paramus, NJ that was kind of filthy… But, yeah, your mileage may vary when it comes to TRON: Legacy's ruthless nostalgia-mining. I was smitten.
Then Sam unceremoniously enters the Grid. Which feels odd. Besides the hyped Wizard of Oz-esque switch from 2D to 3D (I barely noticed), there's no introduction to the world at all, which may be because Sam already knows about it thanks to his father, but you'd think some kind of easing-in process would be necessary considering a large chunk of the population's never seen or heard of Tron. He's literally dropped in. Users, Programs, "derez", "end of line", all of these terms and conceits — the games! — get thrown at you without any preparation. There's no Spielbergian shot of Sam in awe of what he's seeing, no warm moment of discovery. It's something Legacy could've used this early on. Rather, we're swept into a long sequence of action scenes.
The discs and the lightcycles return, updated to include bullet-time, stuntwork and dual-wielding, and upgraded with the snazziest CG available today. It's mostly expensive pizazz, working best when Sam realizes the danger he's in (he bleeds real blood) and when he teams up with the other Programs stuck in the games to survive. There's just something about reluctant leaders and team-based survival, isn't there?
Eventually, Sam meets Clu. Kevin Flynn originally made Clu out of his own image to help create "the perfect system." But Flynn also made his son, Sam right? So we have two of Flynn's creations deciding the future of The Grid… One is amassing a giant army with the goal of pursuing "perfection" as he perceives it, while the other just wants dad back, who's been trapped in this digital world for almost 30 years. This all sounds like some big stuff, and it is, but sometimes it doesn't feels like it due to the odd pacing in the middle. It's that typical second act curse. Gee, we got a rousing beginning and solid ending, what do we do between?
Well, stuff gets explained awkwardly, through flashbacks and too many CG versions of Jeff Bridges on screen at a time. One is good. Clu looks fine. Maybe his head is too big or something, and I did my best to ignore the Uncanny Valley (those dead-looking eyes, man) but I rolled with it. Clu looks better than Professor X and Magneto did in X-Men 3, and there's still an angry, conflicted performance by Bridges underneath the CG. My favorite moment: Clu's anguished exploration of the original Flynn's Kubrick-esque hiding place. But when you have two CG Flynns talking to each other in flashbacks, it's just … couldn't there have been another way to tell that part of the story?
Legacy doesn't do much to explore the the world of The Grid. It's supposed to be a dystopia, where Flynn's clone-creation Clu rules with an obsession for perfection. All that perfection makes for a sleek place to look at, but it's too sleek! Everything looks too clean, too orderly for my tastes (Blade Runner, which came out the same year as Tron, still rules the dystopia roost) and aside from some jawing about Clu's oppressive regime, there's little sense that the "people" of The Grid, the Programs, are impoverished or in pain. Some of them are arrested to take part in the Games, but then there's a whole ton of them that watch the carnage, enamored by all the derezzing. The Sirens, who equip Sam with his Tron suit, seem to be mindless automatons. Then we meet one of them later as if she just got off work, and she has revolutionary leanings to boot. And they're named Sirens! Why?! We never know, and that's TRON: Legacy's biggest problem: a lot of it is underdeveloped or just poorly defined.
Take Michael Sheen's character, who succeeds David Warner as the campy British oddball. He stands out like a sore thumb, a preening, cartoon character among all these stern, serious people talking of change and revolution. He's kind of a relief — comic even! — but at the same time kind of buffoonish because the script just up and does stuff to him without warning. Meet Zeus. Who's Zeus? Oh, he's this guy. No, he isn't it. Oh wait, yes he is. Uh, action scene! At the same time, there are no twists in the plot that you can't see coming from a parsec away. The minute you hear one explanation you'll know the true nature of an important character. Now, let's watch a few flashbacks and listen to a few speeches that set up the sentimental ending.
Worse of all, there's a character who change sides at the drop of a hat. This happens near the end in a very cheap way in a finale that's kind of limp to begin with. In what's basically rip-off of Han and Luke's escape from the first Death Star, Sam does little but sit in a chair and yell as he shoots things. Very hokey. For a climactic action scene in a huge event movie it feels we could've done better than a scene from the middle of another, even more influential movie from 30 years ago. But alas. At least that sentimental ending's nice. And its implications, as Flynn mentions, are huge. The net is vast and infinite, indeed.
Don't let the hokiness ("What does the sun feel like?") ruin the movie for you, though. I'd say it adds to the film's charm, and when TRON: Legacy works it really works. The whole first act is pretty great. Working together on the lightcycles is great. Quorra's great. Olivia Wilde steals the movie with her giant Disney (Tezuka?) cartoon character eyes and lithe leathery form. In one unexpected twist, she's desexualized, androgynous even. There's no steamy make-out scene, but she's cute and full of pep and you can't help but love her. Jeff Bridges glides by effortlessly as this digital Obi-Wan Flynn has become, with a Zeus-like beard and talk of digital jazz and Zen. Some say he glides by too effortlessly, and I can see that. He's basically himself, a more sober version of The Dude, but then you have moments like his reunion with Sam or the final confrontation with Clu, you can't say he's not putting any effort forth. You really can't say that when he's toying with a piece of digital code aboard the Solar Sailer, and you can tell in his eyes and in his voice he adores being back in this universe again.
Garret Hedlund, who plays Sam, appeals to us very early on in the movie. But when he meets characters more interesting than he is his role diminishes somewhat. He's still important, of course; we're following him the entire movie. It's his journey. But eventually he feels more like an audience stand-in than a proper protagonist, especially with big-eyed Olivia and jazz-lovin' Bridges around him constantly. The. It would've been nice if the script delved more into this person beyond his hobbies (motorcycles) and education (Caltech).
The best thing about it all: Daft Punk's score. Driving, moody, atmospheric electronica mixed with classic swelling orchestras may be worth the price of admission alone. Each time a new piece starts, get ready to rock out. Or chill out! There's enough variety in the music's energy to do either, with mood pieces akin to Tangerine Dream's sleepy pulses, and enough Halo-meets-Inception-meets-Vangelis to get adrenaline going. The movie almost plays like another Interstella 5555, so much of the movie is edited to the French duo's phat beats.
So, I hope I got my feelings on TRON: Legacy across. Anymore would be delving into spoiler territory and even more tenuous connections, and I think I made enough of those. For now. I'll just say there aren't a lot of sci-fi/fantasy movies about God complexes and emergent A.I. with Daft Punk soundtracks out there. It's a little uneven, and its action isn't groundbreaking (from what I can tell, damn my eyes) and its story remains kind of thin despite the great ideas beneath, but I haven't given this much thought or ink to something, film or game, in a long time.
Hm. I guess that means I like it.

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people, in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome.
Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints, by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences. Loyalty to the group requires individuals to avoid raising controversial issues or alternative solutions, and there is loss of individual creativity, uniqueness and independent thinking.

If we ask, what is work? , the conventional answer is tasks that somebody will pay us to do. This is true, but it doesn't address why someone is willing to pay us.

- Piano for Beatmakers – Leave a review, get 50% back.
Onto number six in our Piano for Beatmakers email series.
Ok, this is the big one.
This should be the lesson which opens your eyes and reveals how scales work on a piano.
You should then be able to start practicing different chord progressions and be on your way.
In the Piano for Beatmakers course, I also cover another scale to help solidify this info, which includes black notes and stretches your mind. (At first, it's really confusing, but as soon as you get it, you're set.)
Remember when we talked about Octaves that I said there were only 12 notes?
Okay, well when you choose a scale, you're actually only limited to 7 notes!
If you're thinking right now like, ".. Whaaaat?"
Then you're probably just hitting notes trying to find things that work.
This will help you understand how scales work so you're no longer guessing what notes you can hit, it's now a matter of just finding a catchy melody (which is a whole different subject lol.)
The reason I like to start with C Major is that it only contains white notes. So when we're trying to find what chords (major or minor) are in C Major, it's really easy because the chords must only have white notes!
So for example, inside C Major we have:
These are our 7 notes available to us in C Major. Whether we want to be playing single notes or chords, we must only use these notes.
And again to touch on octaves – these notes repeat over and over whether you go up or down the piano.
So when trying to find out if we have a D Major or D Minor chord.. we have to first find out what notes each of these chords has.
I like to use this piano world helper tool.
It allows you to select chords and scales and shows you exactly what notes are inside of them by highlighting the notes.
From here on out, you can now try and find powerful chord progressions.
Honestly, finding new chord progressions is probably my favorite part of sitting down to play the piano.
Not only does it help you to keep building your muscle memory of where certain notes are on the piano, but allows you to try new things continuing to keep you stretching your mind and learning further!
This is a crucial part of the piano to understand. It will open your eyes to music theory and allow you to start creating freely!
If you're left confused, think of the piano course as one lesson you'd take with a piano teacher in real life. (Except you can watch these over and over and download them.)
With my 50% refund deal if you leave a review – that seems like a pretty fair transaction if you think about it that way.
In our next email, I'm going to talk to you a bit about counting beats and timing.
This is another important point because timing allows us to create rhythm and diversity in our music!

Fellas, your masturbator-in-chief is here and this time, what I have with me is amazing! Look at it like you'd look at a mule, you know.
The name "Kiiroo Onyx2" is probably a new term that you've never heard before. For others, Kiiroo is the ultimate masturbator that they ever wish to own and get some personal fulfilment.
Kiiro Onyx2 Male Masturbator Unboxing
If you have shopped for adult sex toys before then the names Kiiroo and Fleshlight make so much sense. These two brands are big shots when it comes to manufacturing adult sex toys. They once teamed to give us Fleshlight Launch which went ahead to be so successful and here, they have teamed again to blow our minds off.
If you really want not only a super-interactive sexual experience but also a powerful one in the absence of your partner, then Onyx2 is you all you need.
So, what makes us recommend Kiiroo Onyx2 Male masturbators as the bomb?
In this review, I look at the finer details of Kiiroo Onyx2 that makes it extremely popular for lonely bedroom, and why every man needs to have this gadget during their personal time.
Features of Kiiroo Onyx2 Male Masturbator
Interactive: Can be Synced to Online Porn Videos
Kiiroo Onyx2 is an interactive sex toy, which means that it is synced to online porn videos from FeelMe.com, Pornhub.com or better still, you can sync it with your partner's OhMiBod Fuse dildo who is miles away and bam, you're smashing her "remotely"!
Sex is gone techie guys and stop asking how, the package comes with VR goggles.
Add this to the Classic 2D videos and encoded video games to which this sex toy is synced and you will forget that your partner isn't around.
Powerful Motor
Powerful is an understatement. In fact, Kiiroo Onyx2 is an animal. I called it a mule for a reason. In one minute, you may receive up to 140 powerful strokes. Run by an equally super-powerful motor, once you charge Kiiroo Onyx2 it can run for a full hour before you can recharge.
As aforementioned, Kiiroo Onyx2 can be charged for about 4-6 hours, which means you need to be really patient the first time you buy it.
Does the mention of a super-powerful motor make you cringe at the prospect of it being noisy? Easy, Kiiroo Onyx2 motor is very quiet compared to its earlier version and you won't risk stealthy glances from workmates after you leave the shower-room after a lunch-break quickie.
A collaboration between Fleshlight and Kiiroo, Kiiroo Onyx2 is the latest after these companies came together previously to give us the successful Fleshlight Launch.
Kiiroo offered the technology with Fleshlight delivering Super Skin, which patented materials on the Onyx2's interior and orifice.
According to the manufacturer, this is their flagship model, and it has many reasons to be.
Since Onyx2 can be synced with other Kiiroo sex toys, just imagine sending and receiving signals from those other toys, touching and being touched via internet, isn't that just magical!
10-Rings Sensation
There are 10 rings on the inside of Onyx that contract together to simulate a real-time experience, be it anal, vaginal or oral.
It is made all more exciting by the sensory experience that is brought about by the 140 strokes, coupled with the Fleshlight-fitted Super Skin sleeve.
You will especially love it with any water-based lubricant.
If you climax to milking or suckling motions and you love extreme massaging contractions, what are you waiting for, go grab Kiiroo Onyx2!
Easy to clean
Once you finish your steamy session with any male masturbator sex toy, the first thing you should do is to clean it. Cleaning Kiiroo Onyx2 is incredibly easy. You just give it a fast rinse under a tap, then you shake for it to dry before giving it a few puffs from the toy cleaner and you're good to go.
Lightweight and discreet
When I earlier told you that you can casually carry this sex toy to the washrooms for a lunch break quickie, we meant it.
Kiiroo Onyx2 is incredibly light, weighing just 2.9 pounds (this is about 1.3 Kgs) and measures only 26.3 cm long. This size makes it so portable and discreet so you don't need to worry of revealing your hidden treasure.
Two operating modes
Yes, you read that right. Besides being automatic and interactive, this sex toy can also be operated manually.
Kiiroo comes with a touch sensitive track pad that helps you control the speed of stroking.
You can also set other control features manually, or set it to automatic mode and let your arms rest.
Components of the Kiiroo Onyx2 Package?
For starters, if you are afraid of boasting your masturbating prowess to workmates or boys out there, then you might be chewing nails wondering how you are going to ship in this new acquisition. Relax.
Onyx is delivered just like any other large office supply shipment, full in an unmarked box which can't raise an eye. It comes protected by a garb that shields it from any damage that might be imminent while on transit.
Here are some of the items that will greet your eyes when you open the box:
- Kiiroo Onyx2 interactive masturbator.
- A packet of some water-based lubricant.
- USB cable with which you will be charging your sex toy.
- A protective end cap to help you when you open the toy.
- A card of warranty registration.
- An instruction manual written in multiple languages.
Getting Started With Kiiroo Onyx2 Masturbator
Once you've received the Kiiroo Onyx2 masturbator sex toys, it's time to get down to business. You can go through the enclosed manual to know the do's and don'ts of the device, and how to use it the right way.
Here are the basic steps that I followed when using my Kiiroo Onyx2 device:
- Check the power level. The device should be fully charged. The charging of this device takes 4-6 hours.
- Once you ascertain that it is fully charged, get ready a water-based lubricant in plenty. I emphasize on water-based because hey, don't you want to use Kiiroo Onyx2 another time? Good, stick to water-based lubricants as silicone-based lubricants will damage your device's interior.
- Take the sleeve out and apply your water-based lubricant before powering on your Onyx2.
- Use the front button to power on your Kiiroo Onyx2 and choose your preferred mode (Either automatic or manual mode). Look at the LED light below the power button to know when you switch to another model. The LED light turns purple on manual mode.
- Once powered on, the device enters the interactive mode, and the Bluetooth connectivity mode is on. Bluetooth connectivity mode is vital for connecting your Onyx to your phone to use the interactive mode.
How to use the Kiiroo Onyx2 INTERACTIVE Mode (Step by Step)
To use the interactive mode, download and install Feel Me app on your phone, then connect the phone to feelme.com for porn videos. You can as well connect it to Pornhub!
Select a video of a guy naturally going through what you'd like the sex toy to offer, say a blow job.
There are hundreds of videos to choose from, but you chose that one of the guy getting a blow job, so now push your dick into it and enjoy the moment.
Have your phone positioned on a place where you can watch the action as you feel it, or get a damn VR pair of goggles.
Maybe you wanted to get intimate with your woman who lives in the other side of the ocean, all you need is to video chat her, and since Kiiroo Onyx2 is synced to her dildo, you can get down to enjoying that sensation from her, virtually!
This is possible since Kiiroo uses subtitling, a technology transmitting instruction signals on when and how the stroking should be done.
How to use MANUAL Mode (Step by Step)
Maybe you don't want the interactive mode, you want to rule your destiny and therefore, you want to masturbate manually using Kiiroo Onyx2. Here is what you do.
Once you power it on and it is on interactive mode, press that button again to change to manual mode. The LED light should turn to purple.
Unlike the interactive mode where you are required to set, connect to a secondary device and maybe put on VR goggles, here you just push your dick into the Kiiroo Onyx2 device.
You feel nothing yet? There is a touch-sensitive trackball that you can use to regulate the stroking speed. Regulate it to your preferred stroking speed then relax, enjoy the sensation.
Initially, Kiiroo Onyx2 sex toy might feel awkwardly robot-like, but this feeling dissipates with time as you master the controls then it turns out to be mind-blowing fun. You can decrease or increase the mechanical rhythm of the Kiiroo Onyx2 and cum when you desire.

After investing so much in the transfer market this summer, Everton is aiming to break into the top four this season, and they started the season well before eventually losing their first game against Chelsea.
In this match, they face a similarly tough opponent whom they have not won against in their last nine attempts and Ronald Koeman will be eager for them to end that dismal run and get back to winning ways.
Tottenham have been dominant in this fixture over the past few seasons. They have started the season poorly with one win, a draw and a defeat in their opening three matches, the same as their opponents in this game.
Spurs could hand debuts to their two new signings in Davison Sanchez and Serge Aurier in this game.
Now that they are away from Wembley the pressure will be slightly off Tottenham but they can ill afford to drop more points so early on. The same applies to the Toffees, especially in front of their home fans.
A cagey game is on the cards and it is difficult to pick an outright winner, however, both sides are more than capable of scoring and that is the pick for this game.

Elusive Unity
Eric Miller on Carl F. H. Henry's Vision for Evangelicalism
From his years as a Wheaton College student in the 1930s, to his long tenure as a leading Evangelical theologian and spokesman, to his death in 2003 at the age of ninety, Carl F. H. Henry proclaimed a single bold conviction that might be summarized thus: Human history and hope center on the gospel of Jesus Christ, and Evangelical Protestantism is its most faithful expression in our troubled, momentous times.
For Christians, the first part remains unproblematic, of course. It is the second part that even self-identifying Evangelicals—let alone other Christians—may find audacious. What, in twenty-first-century America, does . . .
